He has a big ball and a nice car. Tom and Sam want to play with him. + +"Hi, can we play with you?" Tom asks the new boy. + +The new boy does not say anything. He moves his hands and makes signs.

She says to herself, "They are good friends. They are kind. They are strong. They can learn new things. They can see with their eyes and their hearts." +Tom liked to read books. He read books about cars, animals, and space. He read books in his room, in the garden, and in the car. But his favorite place to read books was in the toilet. + +One day, he took a new book to the toilet. It was a book about dinosaurs. He liked dinosaurs a lot. He opened the book and started to read. + +"Roar!" said the book. "This is a T-rex. It is big and strong and has sharp teeth. It is the most popular dinosaur." + +Tom was happy. He wanted to be like the T-rex. He roared too. "Roar! I am Tom. I am big and strong and have sharp teeth. I am the most popular boy." + +He roared so loud that his mom heard him.

He was busy reading and roaring. He turned the page. + +"Roar!" said the book. "This is a stegosaurus. It is big and strong and has plates and spikes. It is the most popular dinosaur." + +Tom was confused. He thought the T-rex and the triceratops were the most popular dinosaurs. He looked at the picture. The stegosaurus was hiding from the T-rex and the triceratops. He liked the stegosaurus too. He roared again. "Roar! I am Tom. I am big and strong and have plates and spikes. I am the most popular boy." + +He roared so loud that his sister heard him. She knocked on the door. "Tom, are you okay? What are you doing in there?" + +Tom did not answer. He was busy reading and roaring. He turned the page. + +But there was no more page. The book was over. Tom was sad. He wanted to read more about dinosaurs. He closed the book and came out of the toilet. + +He saw his mom, his dad, and his sister waiting for him. They looked at him and smiled. + +"Tom, you are a very good reader," said his mom. "But you don't have to roar so loud. You can read quietly too." + +"Tom, you are a very smart boy," said his dad. "But you don't have to stay in the toilet so long. You can read in other places too." + +"Tom, you are a very funny brother," said his sister. "But you don't have to be like the dinosaurs. You are popular just the way you are." + +Tom hugged them and said, "Thank you. I love you. And I love dinosaurs too." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they act like they are doctors and patients. Mia has a toy stethoscope and a clipboard. Tom has a bandage and a spoon. + +"Hello, patient Tom," Mia says. "What is wrong with you?" + +"My stomach hurts," Tom says. He holds his tummy and makes a sad face. + +"Oh no, that is not good," Mia says. She puts the stethoscope on Tom's chest and listens. "I hear a funny noise. Maybe you ate something bad." + +"Maybe I ate too many cookies," Tom says. + +"That is not healthy," Mia says. She writes on her clipboard. "You need some medicine. Here, take this spoon of honey. It is useful. It will make your stomach feel better." + +Tom opens his mouth and Mia gives him the honey. He licks the spoon and smiles. + +"Thank you, doctor Mia," Tom says. "You are a good doctor. The honey is sweet and yummy. My stomach feels better now." + +"You are welcome, patient Tom," Mia says. "I am glad you feel better. Now, do you want to act like something else?" + +"Yes, let's act like we are astronauts and go to the moon," Tom says. + +"OK, let's go," Mia says. They put on their helmets and run to their rocket. They blast off and have more fun. +Tommy was playing with his blocks in his room. He liked to build towers and bridges and cars with his blocks. He was having fun, but he was also feeling tired. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. + +"Tommy, it's time for your nap," his mother called from the kitchen. She was making lunch for them. She was a smart mother. She knew Tommy needed to sleep in the afternoon to grow big and strong. + +"But I don't want to nap," Tommy said. He wanted to play more with his blocks. He did not want to miss anything. + +"Come on, Tommy, napping is good for you," his mother said. She came to his room and picked him up. She gave him a hug and a kiss. "You can play with your blocks again after you wake up. I promise." + +Tommy sighed. He knew his mother was right. He loved his mother. He cuddled with her as she carried him to his bed.

One day, they found a big bottle of milk in the fridge. They wanted to drink some, but they did not know how old it was. + +"Let's try it," Ben said. He opened the bottle and smelled it. He made a face. "It smells funny." + +"Maybe it's good," Sara said. She wanted to encourage Ben. "Maybe it's a new kind of milk. Maybe it's sweet and yummy." + +Ben was not sure, but he liked to try new things. He poured some milk into a cup and took a sip. He spat it out right away. "Blech! It's sour! It's bad! It hurts my mouth!" + +Sara saw Ben's reaction and felt sorry for him. She did not want to drink the milk anymore. She gave him a hug and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong. It's not a new kind of milk. It's old milk. It's spoiled. We should throw it away." + +They ran to the sink and poured the milk down the drain. They rinsed their cups and mouths with water. They decided to have some juice instead. They learned to check the date on the bottle before they drink milk. They also learned to trust their noses more than their ears. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They see many flowers on the lawn. They are red, yellow, pink and blue. They are pretty. + +"Let's pick some flowers for mom and dad!" Lily says. She runs to the lawn and picks a yellow flower. She smells it. It smells good. + +Tim nods. He picks a red flower. He puts it behind his ear. He smiles. He looks funny. + +They pick more flowers. They make a big bunch. They are happy. + +But then they see a bee. The bee is black and yellow. It buzzes. It flies to the flowers. It wants some nectar. + +"Look, a bee!" Tim says. He is scared. He drops the flowers. He runs away. + +Lily is not scared. She is smart. She knows the bee will not hurt her. She stays still. She watches the bee. The bee lands on a blue flower. It drinks some nectar. It flies away. + +Lily picks up the flowers. She calls Tim. "Tim, come back! The bee is gone. It was just looking for food. It did not want to sting us." + +Tim comes back. He is sorry. He hugs Lily. "You are brave and smart, Lily. Thank you for not leaving me. I was silly. I should not be afraid of bees. They are good for the flowers." + +They take the flowers to their parents. Their parents are proud. They say the flowers are beautiful. They put them in a vase. They give Tim and Lily a kiss. They say they love them. Tim and Lily are happy. They love their parents too. They love the flowers and the bee. They love the lawn and the sun. They love to play outside. They are friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and laugh. One day, they see a big purple ball in the park. They want to play with the ball. They have an idea. They decide to have a race. The one who gets to the ball first can play with it. + +They start to run. Lily is fast. Ben is slow. Lily gets to the ball first. She is happy. She grabs the ball and hugs it. She does not want to share. She says, "This is my ball. I won the race. You cannot play with it." + +Ben is sad. He wants to play with the ball too. He asks Lily to share. He says, "Please, Lily, can we play together? The ball is big enough for both of us. Sharing is good. Sharing is fun." + +But Lily does not listen. She says, "No, Ben, go away. This is my ball. I do not want to share. You are too slow. You are a loser." + +Ben feels hurt. He does not like Lily anymore. He turns around and walks away. He does not want to be friends with Lily anymore. He says, "Bye, Lily. You are mean. You are selfish. You are a bad friend." + +Lily does not care. She thinks she is smart. She thinks she is the best. She plays with the ball alone. She does not laugh. She does not have fun. She is lonely. + +Soon, the sky gets dark. It starts to rain. Lily gets wet. She gets cold. She wants to go home. She looks for her mom. She does not see her mom. She sees a big dog. The dog is hungry. The dog sees the ball. The dog likes the ball. The dog runs to the ball. The dog bites the ball. The ball pops. The ball is gone. + +Lily is scared. She is sad. She cries. She wants her mom. She wants her ball. She wants her friend. She says, "Sorry, Ben. Sorry, mom. Sorry, ball. I was wrong. I was stupid. I was a bad friend." + +But it is too late. Ben is gone. Mom is gone. Ball is gone. Lily is alone. She learns a lesson. She learns that sharing is better than keeping. She learns that being kind is better than being mean. She learns that having friends is better than having things. She learns that winning is not everything. She learns that laughing is good. She learns that purple is not her favorite color. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. But today, they have a fight. Sara wants to build a big tower with all the blocks. Ben wants to make a long road with some blocks and some cars. + +"Give me the blocks, Sara!" Ben says. He tries to take some blocks from Sara's tower. + +"No, Ben! They are mine!" Sara says. She holds the blocks tight and pushes Ben away. + +"Stop it, Sara! You are not nice!" Ben says. He is angry and sad. + +"Stop it, Ben! You are not fair!" Sara says. She is angry and sad too. + +They yell and pull and push. The blocks fall down. The cars roll away. They make a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Ben and the mess. + +"What are you doing, Sara and Ben?" Mom asks. She is not happy. + +"We had a fight, Mom," Sara says. + +"We had a fight, Mom," Ben says. + +"Why did you have a fight?" Mom asks. + +"Sara took all the blocks," Ben says. + +"Ben took some of my blocks," Sara says. + +Mom sighs. She knows they are both wrong. + +"Listen, Sara and Ben," Mom says. "You are friends. You can share the blocks and the cars. You can play together. You can have fun. You don't need to have a fight." + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. + +"Sorry, Sara," Ben says. + +"Sorry, Ben," Sara says. + +They hug and say sorry to Mom too. + +Mom smiles. She helps them clean up the mess. She gives them some cookies and milk. + +"Thank you, Mom," Sara and Ben say. + +They eat and drink. They feel better. They go back to play with the blocks and the cars. They build a tower and a road. They share and help each other. They are friends again. They are happy. + +The end. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted on paper, on walls, on rocks, and on her face. She painted flowers, stars, rainbows, and animals. But her favorite thing to paint was fish. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a pond with many fish. They were big and small, red and blue, striped and spotted. Lily wanted to paint them. She asked her mom for paper and colors. Her mom gave her a smile and a hug. She said, "Okay, Lily, you can paint the fish. But don't get too close to the water. And don't touch the fish. They are not pets. They are wild." + +Lily nodded. She sat on the grass and looked at the pond. She saw a chubby fish with yellow scales and a long tail. It swam near the surface and made bubbles. Lily thought it was funny and cute. She picked a yellow color and a big brush. She started to paint the chubby fish on her paper. + +She was so busy painting that she did not hear a voice behind her. It was a boy. He was older than Lily. He had brown hair and green eyes. He wore a hat and a backpack. He said, "Hey, what are you doing?" + +Lily turned around. She saw the boy. She said, "I am painting a fish. See? It is chubby and yellow. Do you like it?" + +The boy looked at Lily's paper. He frowned. He said, "That is not a fish. That is a blob. You can't paint. You are too little. You should give me your colors and brushes. I can paint better than you." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like the boy. She did not want to give him her colors and brushes. She liked her fish. She said, "No, you can't have them. They are mine. And this is a fish. You are mean. Go away." + +The boy did not go away. He reached for Lily's paper. He said, "Give me that. I will show you how to paint a real fish." + +Lily did not let go. She pulled her paper back. She said, "No, stop. You are bad. Leave me alone." + +The boy and Lily tugged and pulled. They shouted and cried. They made a lot of noise. The fish in the pond heard them. They did not like the noise. They swam away. The chubby yellow fish was the last to go. It looked at Lily and the boy. It shook its head. It thought, "Humans are silly. They don't know how to paint or play. They should learn from us. We are happy and free." It swam to the other side of the pond. It joined its friends. It made more bubbles. It forgot about Lily and the boy. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. They liked to skip and run and jump in the park. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves near a tree. They wanted to skip in the leaves and make them fly. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Sam said. "It looks like fun!" + +"OK, Sam!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said we have to stay clean for dinner." + +They ran to the pile of leaves and started to skip and kick and toss them in the air. They laughed and shouted and had a good time. They did not see the big rock hidden under the leaves. + +Lily skipped too hard and hit the rock with her foot. She fell down and hurt her knee. She cried and cried. She had a big cut and blood on her leg. Her dress was dirty and torn. + +Sam saw Lily and ran to help her. He was scared and sorry. He said, "Oh no, Lily! Are you OK? I'm so sorry! It was an accident!" + +Lily was very sad and angry. She said, "No, Sam! I'm not OK! You made me skip in the leaves and now I'm hurt and dirty! You wrecked everything! You're a bad friend!" + +She pushed Sam away and ran to her mommy. She told her mommy what happened and asked for a band-aid and a hug. Her mommy was worried and mad. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You're supposed to be clean for dinner! And why did you push Sam? He was trying to help you! You have to say sorry to him and be nice!" + +Lily did not want to say sorry. She did not want to be nice. She did not want to play with Sam anymore. She was too hurt and dirty and mad. She went to her room and slammed the door. She did not have any fun. She did not have any friends. She had a bad day. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to measure things with their hands, feet and eyes. They measured how high they could swing, how far they could slide and how long they could balance on the seesaw. + +One day, they saw a big dog in the park. It was black and furry and had a loud bark. Lily and Tom were fearful of the dog. They thought it might bite them or chase them. They ran away from the dog and hid behind a tree. They measured how fast their hearts were beating and how hard they were breathing. + +The dog came closer to the tree and sniffed around. Lily and Tom held each other and hoped the dog would go away. They heard a voice calling the dog's name. It was a man who was looking for his pet. He saw Lily and Tom behind the tree and smiled. He said, "Don't be afraid, this is Rex. He is a friendly dog. He likes to play in the park too. Do you want to pet him?" + +Lily and Tom looked at the man and the dog. They saw that Rex had a wagging tail and a happy face. They felt less fearful and more curious. They came out from behind the tree and slowly reached out their hands. Rex licked their fingers and nuzzled their cheeks. Lily and Tom giggled and stroked his fur. They measured how soft and warm he was. + +The man said, "You are very brave, Lily and Tom. Rex likes you. Do you want to play with him?" Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They followed the man and the dog to the grass. They played fetch, tug and tag with Rex. They measured how fast he could run, how strong he could pull and how smart he could find them. They had a lot of fun in the park with their new friend. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they want different things. One day, they have a problem. They both want the same juice. + +"Mom, can I have the red juice?" Sara asks. + +"Me too, me too!" Tom says. + +"Sorry, kids, there is only one cup of red juice left. You have to share or choose another juice," Mom says. + +Sara and Tom look at the red juice. It is their favorite. They do not want to share. They do not want another juice. + +"I saw it first!" Sara says. + +"No, I did!" Tom says. + +They start to yell and pull the cup. The juice spills on the floor. + +"Uh-oh," Mom says. "Look what you did. Now there is no juice for anyone. You are both crazy!" + +Sara and Tom feel bad. They see Mom is angry. They see the mess on the floor. They see the empty cup. + +"Sorry, Mom," Sara says. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom says. + +They hug Mom and say they love her. Mom hugs them back and says she loves them too. + +"Next time, you have to decide together. OK?" Mom says. + +"OK," Sara and Tom say. + +They help Mom clean the floor. Then they drink some water. They decide to play nicely. They do not want to be crazy again. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big puzzle with many pieces. They wanted to solve the puzzle and see the picture. + +They started to put the pieces together on the floor. Ben found a piece that looked like a flower. He thought it was pretty and wanted to keep it. He hid it in his pocket. + +Lily looked for the flower piece, but she could not find it. She asked Ben if he had seen it. Ben said no and lied. He felt bad, but he did not want to give up the flower piece. + +They kept working on the puzzle, but they could not finish it. There was a hole where the flower piece should be. Lily was sad and frustrated. She stood up and said she did not want to play anymore. + +As she walked away, she tripped on a toy and had a fall. She hurt her knee and cried. Ben saw her and felt sorry. He ran to help her and gave her a hug. He took out the flower piece from his pocket and said he was sorry. He said he was selfish and he should have shared it with her. + +Lily was surprised and happy. She forgave Ben and thanked him. She said he was generous and kind. They put the flower piece in the puzzle and saw the picture. It was a beautiful garden with many flowers. They smiled and hugged again. They learned that sharing is better than lying and that solving problems together is more fun than fighting. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and read books together. One day, they found a big book with many pictures of stars and planets. It was called The Universe. + +"What is the universe?" Lila asked Ben. + +Ben looked at the book and pointed to a page. "The universe is everything. It has many lights and balls. Some are big and some are small. Some are hot and some are cold. They are very far away." + +Lila was amazed. She wanted to see the lights and balls. She asked Ben, "Can we go to the universe?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, we can't. The universe is too big and too far. We need a special car to go there. And we need a special suit to breathe. And we need to be very careful. The lights and balls are very delicate. They can break or explode." + +Lila was sad. She wanted to touch the lights and balls. She asked Ben, "Can we make the universe?" + +Ben smiled. He had an idea. He said, "Yes, we can. We can use our toys and our imagination. Come, I'll show you." + +Ben took Lila to his room. He had many toys and crafts. He had balls of different colors and sizes. He had glitter and stickers. He had paper and scissors. He said, "We can make the universe with these. We can make stars and planets and comets and moons. We can make them look like the pictures in the book. And we can make them look like what we want. We can make our own universe." + +Lila was happy. She liked Ben's idea. She said, "Let's do it. Let's make the universe." + +They started to make the universe. They used the balls as planets and moons. They used the glitter and stickers as stars and comets. They used the paper and scissors as rings and clouds. They stuck them on the wall and the ceiling. They made the universe look beautiful and colorful. + +They finished making the universe. They looked at their work and smiled. They were proud and happy. They said, "We made the universe. We made the universe." + +They clapped their hands and cheered. They clapped their hands and cheered. They clapped their hands and cheered. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But sometimes they make a big mess and do not clean up. Mom does not like that. She tells them to put their toys away or they will be punished. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing with their blocks and cars. They build towers and roads and have fun. But they do not hear Mom calling them for dinner. They are too busy playing. Mom comes to the living room and sees the mess. She is angry. + +"Anna and Ben, how many times have I told you to clean up your toys?" Mom says. "You did not listen to me. You are naughty. Now you will be punished. No cocoa for you tonight. Go to your room and stay there until bedtime." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They love cocoa. It is their favorite drink. They do not want to go to their room. They want to stay with Mom and Dad and have dinner and cocoa. They say sorry to Mom and promise to clean up their toys. + +But Mom does not change her mind. She says they have to learn their lesson. She sends them to their room. Anna and Ben go to their room. They are not happy. + +But Anna is clever. She has an idea. She whispers to Ben. "Ben, I know how we can have cocoa. We can sneak out of our room and go to the kitchen. Mom and Dad are busy watching TV. They will not see us. We can make cocoa and drink it in our room. Do you want to try?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He is scared of getting caught. But he also wants cocoa. He nods to Anna. "OK, let's try. But we have to be very quiet and fast." + +Anna and Ben wait until Mom and Dad are not looking. Then they sneak out of their room and go to the kitchen. They find the cocoa powder and the milk. They pour some milk in a cup and put it in the microwave. They add some cocoa powder and stir. They make two cups of cocoa. They smell good. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have cocoa. They sneak back to their room and drink their cocoa. They smile at each other. They think they are clever. They do not know that Mom and Dad saw them. They do not know that Mom and Dad are not angry. They do not know that Mom and Dad are proud of them. They do not know that Mom and Dad love them. They do not know that Mom and Dad will give them a hug and a kiss and a story before bedtime. They do not know that Mom and Dad will say: "We are sorry we punished you. We know you are good kids. We hope you enjoyed your cocoa. We love you very much." +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a small kitten under a tree. It was black and white and had blue eyes. It looked sad and hungry. + +"Can we pet the kitten?" Lily asked Ben. + +"OK, but be careful. It might scratch or bite," Ben said. + +They went closer to the kitten and said hello. The kitten meowed and rubbed its head on their hands. It was very soft and cute. Ben and Lily smiled and gave it some bread and water. + +"Can we take it home?" Lily asked Ben. + +"No, we can't. Mom and Dad said no pets. Maybe we can come back tomorrow and play with it again," Ben said. + +They said goodbye to the kitten and left. They did not see the big dog that was watching them from behind a bush. The dog was hungry and angry. It did not like cats. It waited until Ben and Lily were gone and then ran towards the kitten. It barked and bit the kitten hard. The kitten cried and tried to escape, but it was too late. The dog ate the kitten and licked its lips. It was spicy and good. The dog was happy and left. The park was quiet and sad. Ben and Lily never saw the kitten again. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They make traffic with their cars and trucks. They say "beep beep" and "vroom vroom". + +One day, Tim and Sam want to play with their cars and trucks outside. They ask their mom and dad. Their mom and dad say yes, but they have to organize their room first. They have to put their cars and trucks in boxes and their blocks and books on shelves. Tim and Sam say okay. They start to organize their room. + +But Tim and Sam do not organize their room very well. They put some cars and trucks in boxes, but they leave some on the floor. They put some blocks and books on shelves, but they drop some on the bed. They are in a hurry. They want to play outside. They think their mom and dad will not notice. + +They finish organizing their room. They run to their mom and dad. They say they are ready to play outside. Their mom and dad look at their room. They see the cars and trucks on the floor and the blocks and books on the bed. They shake their heads. They say Tim and Sam have to organize their room better. They say they cannot play outside until they do. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They go back to their room. They have to organize their room again. They have to pick up the cars and trucks on the floor and put them in boxes. They have to pick up the blocks and books on the bed and put them on shelves. They have to make their room smooth and neat. They learn their lesson. They say they will organize their room better next time. They hope they can play outside soon. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lila had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Look at my car, it is so fast and loud!" Lila said. + +"My car is faster and louder, and it can strike yours!" Ben said. + +He moved his car towards Lila's car and hit it with a bump. Lila's car rolled over and stopped. + +"Hey, that is not fair, you made my car fall!" Lila said. + +She was angry and sad. She picked up her car and looked at it. It had a scratch on the side. + +"Why did you do that?" She asked Ben. She had a question in her voice. + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lila's car. He just wanted to have fun. + +"I am sorry, Lila, I was just playing. I did not want to make your car fall. I like your car, it is very impressive. It is shiny and pretty and has a nice horn." He said. + +He gave Lila his car and said, "Here, you can play with my car. It is also impressive. It is strong and brave and has a cool siren." + +Lila smiled. She liked Ben's car too. It was nice of him to share it with her. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend. I am sorry I was angry. We can play with both cars. They are both impressive. They can be friends too." She said. + +She gave Ben back his car and they played together again. They made their cars zoom and crash and honk, but gently. They had fun and laughed. They were happy. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. One day, it was very hot and they wanted to cool down. They saw a hose in the garden and had an idea. + +"Let's play with the hose!" Tim said. + +"OK, but we have to take turns," Kim said. + +They ran to the hose and turned it on. The water was cold and refreshing. They sprayed each other and laughed. + +Tim had the hose first. He sprayed Kim until she was wet. Then he said, "Now it's your turn. You can choose where to spray me." + +Kim took the hose and looked at Tim. She saw his face, his hair, his shirt, his pants, and his shoes. She thought for a moment. Then she smiled and said, "I choose to spray your shoes!" + +She aimed the hose at Tim's shoes and sprayed them. Tim was surprised and looked down. He saw that his shoes were not shoes at all. They were his dad's shoes that he had borrowed without asking. They were big and brown and expensive. And now they were wet and muddy. + +Tim gasped and said, "Oh no! These are dad's shoes! He will be angry with me!" + +Kim said, "Why did you take dad's shoes? You should have asked him first." + +Tim felt bad and said, "I'm sorry. I wanted to look like a grown-up. But I made a bad choice." + +Kim said, "It's OK. We can clean them and dry them. Maybe dad won't notice. But next time, you should choose your own shoes." + +They turned off the hose and went inside. They cleaned and dried the shoes as best as they could. They hoped that dad would not be mad. + +The moral of the story is: You should not take things that are not yours without permission. You should choose wisely and be honest. +Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys and books. One day, their mom said, "We need to go to the store. We have no milk and bread. Do you want to come with me?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They put on their coats and shoes. They got in the car with their mom. The store was far away. They had to go on a long journey. + +On the way, they saw many things. They saw cows and horses in the fields. They saw trucks and buses on the road. They saw a big bridge over a river. They saw a train with many cars. + +But then, they saw something that made them troubled. They saw a lot of smoke and fire. They heard a loud noise. Their mom said, "Oh no, there is an accident. We have to stop and wait. I hope everyone is okay." + +Lily and Tom felt scared and sad. They wanted to help, but they did not know how. They hugged each other and their mom. They prayed for the people in the accident. They hoped they would be safe and well. + +After a while, the firemen and the policemen came. They put out the fire and helped the people. They cleared the road and let the cars go. Lily and Tom's mom said, "Thank you for being brave and patient. We can go to the store now. We will buy some milk and bread and some cookies for you." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They were happy that the accident was over. They were happy that they had their mom and each other. They were happy that they would have cookies. They said, "We love you, mom. You are the best." +Sara was eager to help her mom in the garden. She liked to see the green plants and the red tomatoes. She wanted to take a tomato and eat it. She asked her mom, "Can I take a tomato, please?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can, but only one. We need to save some for the salad. Can you find a ripe tomato?" + +Sara nodded and looked around. She saw a big tomato that was very red and shiny. She reached for it and pulled it gently. It came off the stem with a pop. She held it in her hands and felt its weight and smoothness. + +She brought it to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I found a ripe tomato!" + +Her mom praised her and said, "Good job, Sara! You have a good eye. Do you want to wash it and eat it?" + +Sara said, "Yes, please!" She ran to the faucet and rinsed the tomato. She bit into it and tasted its juicy sweetness. She smiled and said, "Mmm, this is the best tomato ever!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm glad you like it, Sara. You are a great helper. Do you want to help me pick some more tomatoes for the salad?" + +Sara said, "Yes, mom, I do!" She was eager to take more tomatoes and share them with her family. She loved the garden and her mom. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find scissors in the drawer. Scissors are shiny and sharp. They can cut paper and cloth. + +"Let's play with scissors!" Tom says. "We can make shapes and animals." + +"OK!" Sue says. "But be careful. Scissors can hurt." + +They take the scissors and some paper. They start to cut. Tom makes a star. Sue makes a heart. They are happy. + +But then, Tom sees a picture of a lion. He likes lions. They are fierce and strong. He wants to make a lion with scissors. + +He cuts the paper into a big circle. He cuts some triangles for the ears and teeth. He cuts some strips for the mane. He glues them together. He has a lion. + +"Look, Sue!" Tom says. "I made a lion. It is fierce. Roar!" + +Sue looks at the lion. She is scared. She does not like lions. They are fierce and mean. She thinks the lion will bite her. + +"Tom, I don't like your lion!" Sue says. "It is scary. Put it away!" + +Tom is angry. He likes his lion. He thinks Sue is silly. He wants to scare her more. + +"No!" Tom says. "My lion is cool. You are a baby. I will make my lion bite you. Roar!" + +He runs to Sue with his lion. He tries to make the lion bite her arm. Sue screams. She tries to push him away. But the scissors are still in his hand. They are sharp. They cut Sue's arm. There is blood. + +Sue cries. Tom drops the lion and the scissors. He is shocked. He did not mean to hurt Sue. He is sorry. + +"Sue, Sue, I'm sorry!" Tom says. "I was just playing. Are you OK?" + +But Sue does not answer. She is in pain. She is bleeding. She needs help. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Sometimes they bumped into each other and laughed. + +But one day, Ben pushed Lily's car too hard and it flew off the table. It hit the lamp and broke it. Lily was scared and angry. She started to cry. + +"Ben, you are bad! You broke the lamp! Mommy will be mad at us!" she said. + +Ben felt sorry and scared too. He wanted to hide the lamp and pretend nothing happened. But he knew that was wrong. He decided to be honest. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. I pushed your car too hard. It was an accident. We have to tell Mommy. It is an emergency. She can fix the lamp and we can help her," he said. + +Lily stopped crying and nodded. She agreed with Ben. They held hands and went to find Mommy. They told her what happened and said they were sorry. Mommy was not mad. She was glad they were honest and told her the truth. She hugged them and said they did the right thing. + +They helped Mommy fix the lamp and learned a lesson. They learned that pushing too hard can cause trouble. They learned that honesty is the best policy. They learned that emergencies can be solved with love and teamwork. They played with their toy cars more gently and had more fun. +Tom and Lily were happy to go to the big store with Mom. They liked to ride the elevator and see all the things. Mom gave them each a candy to chew on the way. + +But when they got to the elevator, there was a problem. The elevator was full of people and there was no room for them. Mom said they had to wait for the next one. Tom and Lily did not like to wait. They wanted to go up now. + +"Mom, can we go up now?" Tom asked. + +"No, honey, we have to wait. See, the elevator is full. It will come back soon," Mom said. + +"But I want to go up now!" Lily said. She started to cry. + +Mom tried to calm her down, but Lily was very loud. The people in the elevator looked at them. Some of them looked angry. Some of them looked sorry. + +"Shh, Lily, it's okay. We'll go up soon. Please don't cry," Mom said. + +But Lily did not stop. She cried louder and louder. She threw her candy on the floor. Tom saw the candy and picked it up. He wanted to chew it. + +"Tom, don't do that! That's dirty! You can't chew that!" Mom said. + +But Tom did not listen. He put the candy in his mouth and chewed it. He liked the sweet taste. + +"Tom, that's gross! Give me that!" Mom said. She tried to take the candy out of his mouth, but Tom did not let her. He bit her finger. + +"Ow! Tom, that hurts! Let go of my finger!" Mom said. + +But Tom did not let go. He chewed harder. Mom screamed. + +The people in the elevator looked at them. They were shocked. They pushed the button to open the door. They ran out of the elevator. + +Mom, Tom and Lily were alone in the elevator. Mom was angry. Tom was scared. Lily was still crying. + +They were not happy anymore. +Ben liked to learn new things with his tutor, Miss Lee. She was very kind and patient. She taught him how to read, write, and count. Sometimes, she also brought him some delicious snacks, like cookies, fruits, and juice. + +One day, Miss Lee came to Ben's house with a big bag. Ben was curious. He asked, "What is in your bag, Miss Lee?" + +Miss Lee smiled and said, "It is a surprise, Ben. Do you want to see?" + +Ben nodded eagerly. He helped Miss Lee carry the bag to the living room. He felt something soft and warm inside the bag. He wondered what it was. + +Miss Lee opened the bag and took out a small, fluffy puppy. It had brown fur and black eyes. It wagged its tail and licked Miss Lee's face. Ben gasped. He loved puppies. He asked, "Is this your puppy, Miss Lee?" + +Miss Lee shook her head and said, "No, Ben. This is your puppy. I got it for you as a gift. You have been working very hard and doing very well with your lessons. I thought you would like a friend to play with and take care of." + +Ben was overjoyed. He hugged Miss Lee and thanked her. He gently picked up the puppy and cuddled it. The puppy licked his cheek and made a happy sound. Ben said, "He is so cute and soft. I will name him Spot. Thank you, Miss Lee. You are the best tutor ever." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They were happy. + +But then, Tom felt a sting on his arm. He looked and saw a small red spot. He cried, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily ran to him and asked, "What is wrong, Tom?" + +Tom pointed to his arm and said, "A bug bit me! It hurts!" Lily looked and saw the bug. It was a mosquito. It had a long nose and wings. It was blue. Lily said, "That is a bad bug. It is a mosquito. It likes to drink blood. We have to call Mom." + +Tom and Lily ran to the house. They shouted, "Mom! Mom! Mom!" Mom heard them and came out. She saw Tom's arm and said, "Oh, poor Tom. You have a mosquito bite. Let me get some cream for you." + +Mom went inside and came back with a tube of cream. She put some on Tom's arm and rubbed it gently. She said, "This will make it feel better. It will stop the itch and the pain. Mosquitoes are nasty bugs. They can make you sick. You have to be careful when you play outside. Wear long sleeves and pants. And use bug spray." + +Tom said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. The cream helps a lot." Lily said, "Yes, thank you, Mom. We will be careful next time. We don't like mosquitoes. They are mean and blue." Mom said, "You're welcome, my loves. Now, do you want some juice and cookies?" Tom and Lily said, "Yes, please!" They hugged Mom and went inside. They were happy again. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and climb. One day, they see some new equipment in the park. It is big and shiny and has many buttons and levers. + +"Wow, what is that?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know, but it looks fun. Let's go and try it," Ben says. + +They run to the equipment and start to touch and push everything. They hear some noises and see some lights. They think they are having a great time. + +But they do not see the sign that says "Do not touch. Danger. This equipment is for the workers who are fixing the road. It can hurt you." + +They also do not hear the loud horn that comes from a distant truck. The truck is coming to the park to pick up the equipment. The driver does not see Anna and Ben. He thinks the equipment is empty and ready to go. + +He drives the truck to the equipment and hooks it up. He covers the equipment with a big cloth to protect it. He does not know that Anna and Ben are inside. + +He drives away with the equipment and the children. He does not hear their screams. He does not stop. + +Anna and Ben are very scared and sad. They wish they had listened to the sign. They wish they had not played with the equipment. They wish they could go back to the park and their parents. But they cannot. They are trapped. +Lily did not like broccoli. She thought it was green and yucky. She always hid it under her plate or gave it to her dog. One day, her mom made a big bowl of broccoli for dinner. She told Lily to eat it all or she would not get any dessert. + +"But mom, I hate broccoli!" Lily whined. "It tastes bad and it makes me sick!" + +Mom shook her head. "Broccoli is good for you, Lily. It makes you strong and healthy. And it is not yucky, it is yummy. Look, I will show you." Mom took a big bite of broccoli and smiled. "Mmm, delicious!" + +Lily was not convinced. She looked at her mom and then at her broccoli. She made a face. "No, thank you. I don't want any." + +Mom sighed. "Lily, you have to try new things. You might like them if you give them a chance. How about this? If you eat one piece of broccoli, I will give you a kiss. And if you eat two pieces, I will give you two kisses. And so on. How does that sound?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked kisses from her mom. They were warm and sweet. Maybe broccoli was not so bad after all. Maybe it was worth a try. She picked up a small piece of broccoli and put it in her mouth. She chewed slowly and swallowed. It was not as bad as she expected. It was crunchy and a little bit bitter, but not too much. She looked at her mom and smiled. + +"Can I have my kiss now?" she asked. + +Mom was happy. She leaned over and gave Lily a kiss on the cheek. "Of course, my dear. That was very impressive. You ate your broccoli like a big girl. I am proud of you. Do you want to try another piece?" + +Lily nodded. She ate another piece of broccoli and got another kiss. She ate a third piece and got a third kiss. She ate a fourth piece and got a fourth kiss. She ate a fifth piece and got a fifth kiss. She ate a sixth piece and got a sixth kiss. She ate a seventh piece and got a seventh kiss. She ate an eighth piece and got an eighth kiss. She ate a ninth piece and got a ninth kiss. She ate a tenth piece and got a tenth kiss. She ate the whole bowl of broccoli and got a big hug from her mom. + +"Wow, Lily, you ate all your broccoli! That is amazing! You are such a brave and smart girl. I love you so much!" Mom said. + +Lily felt happy and full. She realized that broccoli was not so bad after all. It was actually kind of good. And she got a lot of kisses from her mom, which was even better. She learned that trying new things can be fun and rewarding. She hugged her mom back and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love broccoli. Can we have it again tomorrow?" +Tom and Amy were friends who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but Tom had more. He had a big box of cars, trains, planes and boats. Amy had a small bag of dolls, bears, blocks and books. Tom was spoiled. He did not like to share his toys with Amy. + +One day, Amy came to Tom's house to play. She saw his big box of toys and asked, "Can I play with some of your toys, Tom?" + +Tom said, "No, these are my toys. You can only play with your own toys." + +Amy said, "But that is not fair. You have so many toys and I have so few. Please, let me play with some of your toys." + +Tom said, "No, no, no. Go away, Amy. You are not my friend anymore." + +Amy was sad and angry. She wanted to teach Tom a lesson. She waited until Tom was not looking and took his big box of toys. She ran out of his house and to her own house. She put the big box of toys in her room and locked the door. + +Tom saw that his big box of toys was gone. He cried and cried. He ran to Amy's house and knocked on the door. He said, "Amy, give me back my toys. They are mine, mine, mine." + +Amy said, "No, they are mine now. You were mean to me and did not share. You do not deserve your toys." + +Tom said, "Please, Amy, please. I am sorry. I will share with you. I will include you in my games. Just give me back my toys." + +Amy said, "No, it is too late. You should have been nice to me before. Now you have no toys and no friend. Go away, Tom." + +Tom went away, sobbing. He had lost his toys and his friend. He felt very bad. He wished he had not been so spoiled. He learned that being greedy and selfish has a weight. He was lonely and unhappy. The end. +John and Sarah were playing outside on a sunny day.

It was a bright, sunny day and they were having lots of fun. John saw something white in the sand. He looked closer and saw it was a white stone.

She smiled and asked him if he wanted to share it. + +John looked at the white stone and thought for a minute. Then he smiled and said, "Yes! I want to share it with everyone here."

Everyone smiled and said, "Yes!" +One day, Jim the rabbit hopped outside to the garden. He saw a shelter made of gray wood but it had something missing. He asked a big bird sitting nearby, "What is wrong with the shelter?" The bird replied, "It needs to be changed." + +Jim asked, "How do we change it?" +The bird answered, "We need to get some tools and materials." +Jim wondered, "Where can we find them?" +The bird smiled, "I know a place!" + +So off Jim and the bird flew to the store where Jim bought paint, nails and wood.

One cold morning the baby bird was feeling bored and needed something to do. Suddenly he had an idea. He looked to the sky and saw that the sun was starting to shine. He spread his wings and sprung up into the sky. + +The baby bird flew and flew, high up in the clouds. He flapped his wings and flew as high as he could. He flew over a field of green and saw a small point in the distance. He flew towards it and as he got closer he could see what it was. It was a pond, with streams of cold water inside. + +The baby bird flew around the pond and suddenly he could see some other birds flying around the pond too. They were ducks, swimming and diving in the cold water. The baby bird flapped his wings and swooped down low to get closer to the ducks. He chirped a friendly greeting and one of the ducks replied back. + +"What brings you here?" The duck asked. "I just wanted to have some fun!" The baby bird said. The ducks welcomed him and the baby bird happily joined in their activities. They soon became good friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mia. She was only three years old.

She trusted that if she talked nicely, it might make the monster nicer. + +So the princess talked as nicely as she could to the monster. She asked him his name and told him some funny stories. She wasn't scared anymore and soon the monster was smiling and laughing too. + +The princess saw that the monster wasn't so bad after all. He just needed someone to be kind to him.

As they walked, Dad pointed out all the silly things around them. Suddenly, Alex spotted a big red mark on the ground. + +"What’s that, Daddy?" he asked. + +"That’s called a mark," Dad said. "Let’s see what it is!" + +Alex and his parents walked over to the mark and saw that it was a circle with an arrow inside. It looked like it was pointing somewhere. + +"Is it silly, Daddy?"

She wanted to squeeze all of them! + +So she started squeezing the leaves. She squeezed the big leaves and the small leaves. The leaves felt different when she touched and squeezed them. She loved how they felt! + +When the sun went down, she decided it was time to go home. She was very tired and couldn't squeeze any more leaves. She was still happy, though, because she had a great time squeezing the leaves. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lucy. She was very sleepy and leaned against the wall. She saw a cartoon playing on the TV and it made her smile. + +Lucy asked her mum, "Can I watch a cartoon?" + +Mum smiled and said, "Yes, you can watch a cartoon, but first you have to have a rest." + +So, Lucy lay down on the sofa and closed her eyes.

They stopped playing, and Toby went home. When dark came, Dave bought and lit some fat fireworks. His neighbours saw what he was doing and ran out of their houses to watch the colourful show. + +Dave was happy and forgot all about the quarrel with Toby. Suddenly Toby appeared at the scene. He had decided to join in the fun, and he smiled. The boys ran around in joy, and enjoyed the night of fireworks together. +"Let's go sit by the pond!" said the mom, and her three year old daughter hopped in excitement. + +The pond was filled with glimmering fish and splashing frogs. They sat on the grass and watched the pond for a while. The girl was full of wonder. + +"Why does the water look so smooth?" asked the girl. + +"Because it's gentle and calm," said her mom, patting her daughter's back. + +The girl then noticed the rough little rocks around the pond. + +"Mom, why are these rocks so rough?" she asked. + +Her mom smiled and explained, "The water washes them until the rocks become smooth, over time." + +The girl thought about this for a moment with a sense of awe. She then asked, "Can we sit here a little longer?" + +Her mom nodded with a smile and they stayed by the pond, sitting together in happy conversation. +Dave was at the park having a great time.

She filled a big pot with soil and carefully planted a few little seeds in it. + +But even though she watered the pot, nothing seemed to be happening.

Jack was so scared, he grabbed his mum's arm tightly. Mum said, "It's ok. The dog is just playing". + +They watched the dog run around, and then it stopped.

If we don't, it can lead to bad and sad endings. +Lily loved to peek out the window. Every day she watched the fluffy white clouds sail through the warm sky. One day, something special appeared.

They pretended they were going to a faraway place. "Beep beep, move out of the way!" Ben said. "We are going to the moon!" Lily said. Their mom smiled and said, "You have great imaginations, kids. But we are almost there. Can you see grandma's house?" + +They looked out the window and saw a yellow house with a big garden. They saw grandma waving at them. They jumped out of the car and ran to hug her. "Hello, my darlings!" grandma said. "I have a surprise for you. Come inside and see." + +They followed grandma into the kitchen. On the table, they saw a big cake with candles and a sign that said, "Happy Birthday, Ben and Lily!" They gasped and clapped their hands. They had forgotten it was their birthday. "Wow, thank you, grandma!" they said. "This is the best surprise ever!" + +Grandma smiled and said, "You're welcome, my loves. Now, let's make a wish and blow out the candles. But first, you need something to cut the cake. Can you guess what it is?" She opened a drawer and took out two shiny spoons. They were not ordinary spoons. They were spoons shaped like cars. One was red and one was blue. "These are for you, Ben and Lily. They are special spoons that you can drive and eat with. Do you like them?" + +Ben and Lily were amazed. They took the spoons and looked at them closely. They saw wheels and doors and windows on the spoons. They made vroom vroom sounds and drove the spoons on the table. They laughed and said, "We love them, grandma! They are the coolest spoons ever!" + +Grandma hugged them and said, "I'm glad you like them, my sweeties. Now, let's enjoy the cake and celebrate your birthday. You are the greatest twins ever!" +Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big slide and run to it. Ben goes first. He climbs up the steps and sits on the slide. He leans back and slides down fast. He laughs and says, "That was fun!" + +Lily wants to try too. She follows Ben up the steps. But she is clumsy and trips on the last step. She falls on the slide and slides down on her tummy. She bumps her nose and starts to cry. + +Ben hears her cry and runs to her. He helps her up and hugs her. He says, "Are you okay, Lily? I'm sorry you fell. You are brave." + +Lily sniffles and rubs her nose. She looks at Ben and sees his smile. She smiles back and says, "I'm okay, Ben. Thank you for hugging me. You are kind." + +Ben and Lily hold hands and walk to the swings. They swing high and low and giggle. They forget about the slide and have fun. They are happy. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. They have a big van toy that can carry many things. They pretend to be drivers and deliver things to their friends. + +One day, they want to play with Lily, who lives next door. They put some of their toys in the van and drive to her house. They knock on the door and Lily comes out. She is happy to see them. + +"Hi, Ben and Sam! What do you have in your van?" she asks. + +"We have some toys for you. Do you want to play with us?" Ben says. + +"Yes, please! What kind of toys do you have?" Lily says. + +They open the van and show her their toys. They have a ball, a doll, a book, and a car. Lily likes them all. She picks up the doll and hugs it. + +"Can I have this doll? She is so pretty!" Lily says. + +"Sure, you can have it. But you have to pay us something," Sam says. + +"Pay you? What do you mean?" Lily says. + +"You have to give us something in return. That's how we play. We are drivers and you are our customer," Sam says. + +"Oh, I see. Well, what do you want?" Lily says. + +Sam thinks for a moment. He looks at Lily's dress. It is pink and has flowers on it. He likes it. + +"I want your dress. It is so nice," Sam says. + +Lily looks at her dress. She likes it too. She does not want to give it away. + +"But this is my dress. It is tight on you. You can't wear it," Lily says. + +"I don't care. I want it. You have to pay me or you can't have the doll," Sam says. + +Ben sees that Lily is sad. He does not like to see her sad. He likes to share his toys. He thinks Sam is being mean. + +"Sam, that's not fair. You can't ask for her dress. It is hers. You have to ask for something else," Ben says. + +Sam frowns. He does not like to be told what to do. He wants the dress. + +"No, I want the dress. It is my van and my toys. I can ask for whatever I want," Sam says. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to play with Sam anymore. He wants to play with Lily. He has an idea. + +"Lily, you can have the doll. And you can have the ball, the book, and the car too. You don't have to pay us anything. You can keep your dress. We can play together," Ben says. + +Lily smiles. She is happy. She likes Ben. He is nice. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I like you. I like your toys. We can play together," Lily says. + +They take the toys out of the van and play on the grass. They have fun. They forget about Sam. + +Sam is angry. He does not like to be left out. He does not like to share his toys. He does not like Ben and Lily. He takes his van and goes back to his house. He plays alone. He is not happy. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. But their favorite animal was the kangaroo. The kangaroo had a big pouch and a long tail. It could hop very high and fast. + +"Look, mom, the kangaroo is jumping!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it is. Do you know why it jumps?" mom asked. + +"Because it is happy?" Lily guessed. + +"That's one reason. But it also jumps because it helps it move around and find food. Jumping is a skill that the kangaroo has to improve every day." mom explained. + +"What does improve mean?" Tom asked. + +"It means to get better at something. To learn more and practice more. Like when you improve your drawing or your counting." mom said. + +"Oh, I see. I want to improve my jumping too. Can I jump like a kangaroo?" Tom said. + +He tried to hop like the kangaroo, but he fell down. He got up and tried again, but he fell down again. He was confused. Why couldn't he jump like the kangaroo? + +Lily laughed and hugged him. "Don't worry, Tom. You can improve your jumping, but you don't have to jump like a kangaroo. You can jump like a Tom. That's good enough for me." she said. + +Tom smiled and hugged her back. "Thanks, Lily. You are a good sister. And you can jump like a Lily. That's good enough for me too." he said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. "You are both good jumpers and good learners. And you are both good enough for me. Now, let's go and see the other animals." she said. + +They walked away, holding hands, and looking for more fun and more things to improve. +Jenny loved to play with her model train. She had a big track with many cars and a red engine. She liked to make the train go fast and slow, and toot the horn. She was very careful with her model train, because it was a gift from her grandpa. + +One day, Jenny wanted to show her model train to her friend Tom. She invited him to her house after school. Tom was excited to see the model train, but he was not very careful. He grabbed the red engine and pulled it hard. He wanted to make it go faster, but he broke it instead. The engine came off the track and fell on the floor. Jenny heard a loud snap and saw a piece of metal fly out. + +Jenny was very sad and angry. She ran to the engine and picked it up. She examined it and saw that it was broken. The metal piece was part of the motor, and without it, the engine could not move. She cried and said, "You broke my model train! It was my favorite thing! How could you do that?" + +Tom felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to break the model train, he just wanted to have fun. He said, "I'm sorry, Jenny, I didn't know it was so fragile. Can we fix it?" + +Jenny shook her head and said, "No, we can't fix it. It's ruined. You ruined it. Go away, Tom, I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Tom left, feeling bad. He wished he had been more careful with Jenny's model train. He wondered if she would ever forgive him. He learned a lesson that day: he should respect other people's things, and not break them. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big chair under a tree. It was unknown to them. They wanted to sit on it and pretend it was a castle. + +"Let's go to the chair!" Lily said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. It might be someone's chair," Tom said. + +They ran to the chair and climbed on it. It was soft and cozy. They felt like kings and queens. + +"Look, there is a book on the chair. Maybe it has stories," Lily said. She picked up the book and opened it. + +"Hey, don't touch that! It's mine!" a voice shouted. It was a mean old man. He came out of the tree. He was angry and scary. + +"Who are you? This is our chair!" Tom said. + +"No, it's not! It's my chair! I live in the tree. And that's my book! Give it back!" the old man said. He grabbed the book from Lily and pushed her off the chair. + +Lily fell to the ground and hurt her knee. She cried. Tom jumped off the chair and ran to her. + +"Are you OK, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"No, I'm not OK. He was mean to me. He took my book. He made me fall," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I promise I will get your book back. And I will make him say sorry," Tom said. + +He turned to the old man and said, "You are a bad man. You hurt my friend. You have to give her the book and say sorry." + +The old man laughed. He said, "No, I don't. I don't care about you or your friend. This is my chair and my book. Go away or I will hurt you too." + +He threw the book at Tom and hit him in the head. Tom fell to the ground and cried too. + +The old man went back to the tree and closed the door. He was happy. He had his chair and his book. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They had no chair and no book. They had no fun. They had a bad day. +Lila was a princess who lived in a big palace. She had many toys and dresses, but she was not happy. She was troubled by a bad dream. Every night, she saw a scary dragon who wanted to burn her palace and hurt her friends. + +One day, she told her father, the king, about her dream. He hugged her and said, "Do not be afraid, my dear. The dragon is not real. It is only in your head. You are safe and loved in this palace. I will always protect you and your friends." + +Lila nodded, but she still felt troubled. She wished she could make the dragon go away. She asked her father, "Can I do something to stop the dragon?" + +The king thought for a moment, and then said, "Yes, you can. You can be brave and strong. You can face your fear and tell the dragon to leave you alone. You can also ask for help from your friends. They will support you and make you feel better." + +Lila nodded again, and felt a little hopeful. She decided to try her father's advice. That night, when she went to bed, she took her favorite teddy bear with her. She also asked her best friend, Mia, to sleep in her room. Mia agreed and brought her own doll. + +When Lila closed her eyes, she saw the dragon again. But this time, she did not cry or hide. She said in a loud voice, "Go away, dragon! You are not welcome here! You cannot hurt me or my friends! We are brave and strong!" + +The dragon roared and breathed fire, but Lila did not flinch. She held her teddy bear and looked at Mia, who nodded and smiled. She held her doll and said, "That's right, Lila! You are brave and strong! We are not afraid of you, dragon! We are friends and we stick together!" + +The dragon saw that Lila and Mia were not scared of him. He felt confused and angry. He tried to scare them more, but it did not work. He realized that he had no power over them. He felt ashamed and lonely. He wished he had friends too. + +He said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, princess. I did not mean to frighten you. I was just lonely and bored. I have no friends. Can you be my friend?" + +Lila and Mia were surprised by the dragon's words. They looked at each other and nodded. They felt sorry for the dragon. They said, "Yes, we can be your friends. But you have to be nice and gentle. You have to stop burning and hurting things. You have to share and play with others." + +The dragon nodded and smiled. He said, "Thank you, princess. Thank you, friend. I will be nice and gentle. I will stop burning and hurting things. I will share and play with others. I will be your friend." + +Lila and Mia smiled too. They said, "You're welcome, dragon. You're welcome, friend. We will be your friends." + +They all hugged and laughed. They became friends and played together. Lila's dream became a happy one. She was no longer troubled by the dragon. She was happy in her palace. She had many toys and dresses, but she also had something more. She had friends. +Sara and Ben are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the zoo. Sara and Ben love animals. They look out the window and see many things. They see houses, trees, shops, and cars. + +"Look, Sara, a billboard!" Ben says. He points to a big sign with a picture of a lion. The lion has a fierce face and a big mane. It says: "Come to the zoo and see the king of the jungle!" + +"I want to see the lion!" Sara says. She twists in her seat and tries to see the billboard better. She likes lions. They are strong and brave. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He twists in his seat too. He likes lions. They are loud and fast. + +"Stop twisting, kids!" Mom says. She looks at them in the mirror. "You need to sit still and wear your seatbelts. We will be at the zoo soon." + +"Okay, Mom," Sara and Ben say. They sit still and wear their seatbelts. They are excited to see the lion and the other animals. They hope the lion will roar for them. +Tim and Mia were twins who liked to sing. They wanted to go to the opera, where people sang very loud and wore fancy clothes. Their mom said they could go if they behaved well and did their chores. + +One day, they saw a poster for a new opera called The Snow Queen. It had a picture of a woman with white hair and a crown of ice. She looked mean and cold. Tim and Mia thought she was scary, but they also wanted to see her sing. + +They asked their mom if they could go to The Snow Queen. Their mom said yes, but they had to wear warm coats and hats, because the opera house was very cold. She also said they had to listen to the rules and not talk or run around during the show. + +Tim and Mia agreed, and they put on their coats and hats. They were very excited to go to the opera. They got in the car and drove to the opera house. It was a big building with many lights and people. They found their seats and waited for the show to start. + +The lights went down and the music began. Tim and Mia saw the Snow Queen appear on the stage. She sang in a high voice that made them shiver. She was very mean and cruel. She wanted to freeze the whole world and make everyone her slaves. She had a magic mirror that made people see only bad things. + +Tim and Mia did not like the Snow Queen. They wanted her to go away. They started to whisper to each other, saying how bad she was and how they hoped someone would stop her. They did not listen to their mom or the rules. They were very noisy and rude. + +The Snow Queen heard them. She stopped singing and looked at them with her cold eyes. She pointed at them and said, "You two are very naughty. You do not appreciate my beautiful opera. You do not deserve to be here. You will be my first victims. I will freeze you with my ice breath and make you my statues." + +She opened her mouth and blew a blast of cold air at Tim and Mia. They felt a chill in their bones. They tried to scream, but they could not. They felt their bodies turn stiff and hard. They could not move or talk. They were frozen. + +The Snow Queen laughed and said, "That will teach you to be quiet and respectful. Now you will stay here forever and admire my opera. You are my new decorations." + +The other people in the opera house were shocked and scared. They ran away, leaving Tim and Mia behind. Their mom looked for them, but she could not find them. She cried and cried. She wished they had listened to her and the rules. + +The moral of the story is: You should always be polite and follow the rules, especially when you go to the opera. You never know when a mean and cold Snow Queen might be watching. +Tim and Mia are playing with cubes in the playroom. They like to build towers and houses with the cubes. They have many cubes of different colors and sizes. + +"Look, Mia, I made a big tower with red and blue cubes!" Tim says, showing his creation to his sister. + +"That's nice, Tim, but I made a better house with yellow and green cubes!" Mia says, pointing to her own work. + +They start to argue about whose cubes are better. They want to have all the cubes for themselves. They pull and push the cubes, trying to take them from each other. + +"Stop it, Mia, these are my cubes!" Tim shouts. + +"No, they are mine, Tim, you are mean!" Mia cries. + +They fight so hard that they knock down their towers and houses. The cubes fall and scatter on the floor. Some of the cubes hit them and hurt them. They both start to weep. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the playroom. She sees the mess and the crying children. She is not happy. + +"What happened here? Why are you weeping?" Mom asks. + +"Tim and Mia are bad! They broke my cubes!" They both say at the same time. + +Mom sighs and hugs them. She tells them to calm down and share the cubes. She says that cubes are for playing, not for fighting. She says that they should be nice and lively, not mean and weepy. + +She helps them to pick up the cubes and put them back in the box. She gives them each a kiss and a cookie. She tells them to play nicely and have fun. + +Tim and Mia say sorry to each other. They smile and hug. They decide to build a new tower and a new house together. They use all the colors and sizes of the cubes. They are happy and lively again. They thank Mom for the cookies and the cubes. They love Mom and they love each other. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But sometimes they are naughty and do bad things. Mom and Dad get angry and punish them. + +One day, Mom and Dad say they will go on a trip. They will see a big zoo with many animals. Anna and Ben are happy and excited. They want to see the lions and the monkeys and the birds. + +But before they go, Mom and Dad tell them to clean their room. They say it is very messy and they have to put away their toys and clothes. Anna and Ben do not want to clean. They want to play more. They say no and run away. + +Mom and Dad are very angry. They say Anna and Ben are naughty and do not listen. They say they will not go on the trip. They say they will stay home and punish them. They say they will not give them any tasty snacks or watch any cartoons. + +Anna and Ben are very sad and sorry. They cry and say they are sorry. They say they will clean their room and be good. They say they want to go on the trip and see the animals. They say they love Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad see that Anna and Ben are sorry. They hug them and say they love them too. They say they will go on the trip if they clean their room and be good. They say they will give them some tasty snacks and watch some cartoons on the way. + +Anna and Ben are happy and thankful. They clean their room and put away their toys and clothes. They say thank you to Mom and Dad. They get ready to go on the trip and see the animals. They have a lot of fun and learn new things. +Lila and Ben were adventurous twins who liked to explore the house. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had many things inside, like tools, wires, and screws. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Lila said. "I wonder what they are for." + +"Maybe we can make something with them," Ben said. "Let's pick some and try." + +They picked some tools and screws and started to put them together. They made a robot, a car, and a plane. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard their dad coming. He was looking for his tools. He saw the twins and the box. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my tools?" he asked. "Those are not toys. They are dangerous. You could hurt yourself or break something." + +Lila and Ben felt scared. They did not mean to make their dad angry. They thought they were being creative. + +"We are sorry, dad," they said. "We just wanted to make something with the tools and screws. We did not know they were yours." + +Dad sighed. He was not really angry. He was glad that his twins were adventurous and curious. But he also wanted them to be safe and respectful. + +"It's okay, kids," he said. "I know you were having fun. But you have to ask me before you use my tools. And you have to be careful with them. They are not for playing. They are for fixing things." + +He hugged them and smiled. He showed them how to use the tools and screws properly. He helped them fix the things they broke. He also gave them some old toys that they could use to make their own inventions. + +Lila and Ben learned a lesson. They thanked their dad and apologized again. They still liked to explore and create, but they also listened to their dad and followed the rules. They were adventurous, but also smart. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together at school. Tom is popular. Many kids want to play with him. Lily is happy to be his friend. + +One day, they play with blocks. They make a big tower. Tom points to the tower and says, "Look, Lily, we made a big tower. It is taller than you and me." + +Lily smiles and says, "Yes, Tom, it is a big tower. It is very nice. Can I put one more block on top?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, Lily, you can. But be careful. Do not make it fall." + +Lily picks up a block and tries to put it on top of the tower. But the tower is too high. The block slips and falls. The tower falls too. It makes a loud noise. The blocks scatter everywhere. + +Tom and Lily are surprised. They look at each other. Then they look at the blocks. They see some blocks near their mouths. They have an idea. They pick up the blocks and pretend they are food. They put the blocks in their mouths and make chewing sounds. They laugh and say, "Mmm, yummy. These blocks are tasty." + +The other kids see them and think they are funny. They join them and pretend to eat the blocks too. They all laugh and have fun. Tom and Lily are happy. They are still popular. They are still friends. +Lily and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But when the evening comes, their mom tells them to go to bed. + +"Come on, kids, it's bedtime. You need to sleep well for tomorrow," mom says. + +"But mom, we want to play more. Can we stay up a little longer?" Lily asks. + +"No, Lily, you can't. It's late and you have school tomorrow. And so does Tom. Don't resist, please. Be nice and go to bed," mom says. + +Tom does not like to go to bed. He thinks it is boring. He wants to play with his cars and trucks. He tries to resist. He says no to mom. He runs away from her. He hides under the table. + +"Tom, don't be silly. Come out of there. You can play with your toys tomorrow. But now you have to go to bed," mom says. + +Mom finds Tom under the table. She picks him up and carries him to his room. She puts him in his bed and tucks him in. She kisses him goodnight. + +"Goodnight, Tom. I love you. Sleep tight," mom says. + +Tom feels a little sorry for resisting. He loves his mom. He says sorry to her. He says goodnight to her. He closes his eyes and falls asleep. + +Lily is a good girl. She does not resist. She listens to mom. She goes to her room and puts her toys away. She brushes her teeth and puts on her pajamas. She gets in her bed and waits for mom. + +Mom comes to Lily's room. She reads her a story. She kisses her goodnight. + +"Goodnight, Lily. I love you. Sleep tight," mom says. + +Lily smiles. She likes the story. She likes her mom. She says goodnight to her. She closes her eyes and falls asleep. + +Mom is happy. She has two nice kids. She turns off the lights and leaves the room. She goes to her own bed and sleeps well. She dreams of a new day with Lily and Tom. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box is full of colorful toys. Lily and Max are happy. + +"Look, Max, I found a car!" Lily says. She holds a red car in her hand. It has four wheels and a shiny hood. + +"Wow, that's a nice car, Lily!" Max says. He sees a blue car in the box. He grabs it and says, "I have a car too!" + +Lily and Max smile at each other. They have an idea. They want to race their cars. They put their cars on the floor and stand behind them. They use their fingers to push their cars. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily says. They push their cars as hard as they can. The cars zoom across the floor. Lily and Max run after them. They laugh and cheer. + +"Go, go, go!" Max says. His car is fast. It passes Lily's car. He is happy. + +"Wait for me!" Lily says. Her car is flexible. It can turn and twist. She makes her car follow Max's car. She is clever. + +Lily and Max reach the end of the floor. They look at their cars. They are close. They don't know who won. + +"Who won the race?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe we tied," Max says. + +Lily and Max look at each other. They don't mind. They had fun. They hug each other and say, "You are a good racer. You are a good friend." +Tom is a mailman. He likes to deliver letters and packages to people. He has a big blue truck and a red hat. He knows many streets and houses. + +One day, he has to deliver a big brown box to Mrs. Lee. Mrs. Lee is a teacher. She has many students. They are taking an exam today. An exam is a test. They have to write and draw and answer questions. + +Tom knocks on the door of Mrs. Lee's house. He hears a voice inside. It is Mrs. Lee. She sounds troubled. She says, "Who is it?" + +Tom says, "It is Tom, the mailman. I have a box for you." + +Mrs. Lee opens the door. She looks worried. She says, "Oh, thank you, Tom. This is the exam papers. I need them for my students. They are waiting for me at school. But I have a problem. My car is broken. It won't start. How can I get to school?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He says, "Don't worry, Mrs. Lee. I can help you. You can come with me in my truck. I can take you to school. It is not far. I have to deliver some letters there anyway." + +Mrs. Lee smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. You are a good mailman. And a good friend." + +Tom and Mrs. Lee put the box in the truck. They get in and drive to school. Tom delivers the letters and the box. Mrs. Lee gives the exam papers to her students. They are happy to see her. They say, "Thank you, Mrs. Lee. Thank you, Tom." + +Tom waves goodbye. He says, "You're welcome. Good luck with your exam. Have a nice day." + +Tom drives away. He feels happy. He likes to deliver letters and packages. And he likes to help people. He is a good mailman. And a good friend. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers with the hose. But the hose was stubborn. It did not want to spray water. It was twisted and kinked. + +"Help me, Max!" Lily said. "The hose is not working!" + +Max tried to untwist the hose. He pulled and pushed, but the hose was too stubborn. It stayed kinked. + +"Let me try, Lily!" Max said. "You hold the hose and I will turn the tap!" + +Lily held the hose and Max ran to the tap. He turned it hard, but nothing happened. The hose was still stubborn. + +"Maybe we need to ask Mom for help," Lily said. + +But Max did not want to ask Mom. He wanted to fix the hose by himself. He was stubborn too. + +"No, we can do it!" Max said. "Let's try again!" + +He ran back to the hose and pulled it harder. But he pulled too hard. The hose snapped and water sprayed everywhere. Lily and Max got wet and so did the flowers. + +"Oops!" Max said. + +"Max, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom said. She came out of the house and saw the mess. + +"We were trying to water the flowers, but the hose was stubborn," Lily said. + +"And so was Max," Mom said. "He broke the hose." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Max said. "Can you help us fix it?" + +Mom smiled. She was not angry. She was glad that Lily and Max liked to help in the garden. + +"Of course I can help you," Mom said. "But first, let's dry off and have a snack. Then we can get a new hose and water the flowers together." + +Lily and Max nodded. They followed Mom into the house. They learned that sometimes it was good to ask for help, and sometimes it was good to be stubborn. But not too stubborn. +Ben and Lily wanted to help the animals. They saw a big sign that said: "Save the zoo". The sign had a picture of a lion, a monkey and a giraffe. Ben and Lily loved the zoo. They wanted to see the animals happy. + +They asked their mom if they could go to the sign. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay with her. She gave them some paper and crayons. Ben and Lily made their own signs. Ben wrote: "We love the zoo". Lily drew a heart and a flower. + +They went to the sign with their mom. There were many people there. Some people had signs too. Some people had drums and whistles. They were making a lot of noise. Ben and Lily were excited. They held their signs high. Their mom said: "We are going to march to the zoo. We are going to show the people that we care about the animals. We are going to be honest and brave." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They liked the word march. It sounded like fun. They followed their mom and the other people. They marched along the street. They chanted: "Save the zoo, save the zoo". They waved their signs. They smiled at the people who watched them. They felt proud and happy. + +They reached the zoo. They saw the animals. The animals looked at them. Ben and Lily thought they saw the animals smile too. They hoped the animals knew they were their friends. They hoped the animals would be safe and free. They hugged their mom and thanked her for taking them to the march. Their mom hugged them back and said: "You are very good and kind. You are my honest and brave children. I love you very much." +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to examine different things they found on the ground. They saw a shiny glove on a bench. It looked modern and had many buttons and lights. + +"Wow, look at this glove!" Sara said. "It is so cool and pretty. I wonder what it does." + +"Let me see," Tom said. He took the glove and put it on his hand. He pressed a button and the glove made a loud beep. + +"Be careful, Tom!" Sara said. "You don't know whose glove it is. Maybe it is dangerous." + +Tom ignored her. He pressed another button and the glove shot a beam of light at a tree. The tree caught fire and smoke came out. + +"Help! Help!" Sara and Tom shouted. They ran away from the bench and the glove. They saw a man running towards them. He was wearing a helmet and a suit that matched the glove. + +"Stop! That's my glove!" the man said. "I'm a scientist and I was testing my invention. It's not a toy. It's a laser glove. You could have hurt yourself or someone else." + +Sara and Tom felt scared and sorry. They gave the glove back to the man and apologized. + +"We're sorry, mister," Sara said. "We didn't know it was your glove. We were just curious." + +"We won't touch it again," Tom said. "We promise." + +The man looked at them and sighed. He was not angry, but he was worried. + +"It's okay, kids," he said. "I know you were just playing. But you have to be careful with things you don't understand. Some things are not meant for children. They are too modern and dangerous. Next time, ask before you examine something that is not yours." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. Something safer and simpler. Like a ball or a kite. +Sara was sad. She did not like the big house. It was boring. There was no one to play with. She missed her old home and her friends. + +She went to the window and looked outside. She saw a white bird on a tree. It was a dove. Sara liked doves. They were pretty and soft. She opened the window and called to the dove. + +"Hello, dove. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The dove looked at Sara and cooed. It flew to the window and landed on Sara's hand. Sara smiled and stroked the dove's feathers. + +"You are so nice, dove. You make me happy." + +The dove nuzzled Sara's cheek and comforted her. Sara felt warm and safe. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was her new brother. He was big and mean. He ran to the window and saw the dove. + +"Hey, what is that? Give me that bird!" + +He grabbed the dove from Sara's hand and squeezed it. The dove cried out in pain. Sara was scared and angry. + +"Stop it! Stop it! You are hurting the dove! Let it go!" + +She tried to get the dove back, but her brother was stronger. He pushed her away and laughed. + +"No, it is mine now. I will do what I want with it. It is just a stupid bird." + +He threw the dove out of the window. The dove fell to the ground. Sara screamed and cried. She ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. Her brother had locked it. + +She banged on the door and shouted for help. But no one came. She was alone and sad. She wished the dove was with her. She wished she was back in her old home. She wished she had a nice brother. +Tom and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the shells. Sometimes they went into the water, but not too far. Mom and Dad told them to be careful of the big waves. + +One day, Tom saw a surf board on the shore. He wanted to try it. He ran to the board and picked it up. He dragged it to the water and jumped on it. He did not listen to Mom and Dad, who called him to come back. + +Lily saw Tom on the surf board. She was upset. She did not want Tom to go away. She did not want Tom to get hurt. She ran after him and tried to reach him. But the waves were too strong. She could not catch him. She started to cry. + +Mom and Dad saw Lily crying. They saw Tom on the surf board. They were scared. They ran to the water and waved their arms. They shouted to Tom to come back. But Tom did not hear them. He was having fun. He did not see the big wave behind him. + +The big wave came and knocked Tom off the surf board. He fell into the water and swallowed some salt. He was scared. He could not see the shore. He could not see Mom and Dad. He could not see Lily. He started to cry. + +Mom and Dad saw Tom in the water. They swam to him and grabbed him. They brought him back to the shore. They hugged him and checked him. They were glad he was safe. But they were also angry. They told him he was naughty. He did not listen to them. He put himself and Lily in danger. He had to say sorry. + +Tom was sorry. He realized he was wrong. He said sorry to Mom and Dad. He said sorry to Lily. He hugged them and promised to be good. He learned his lesson. He learned to listen to his parents. He learned to be careful of the waves. He learned to share the surf board with Lily. He learned to have fun in a safe way. +Lily was sleeping in her bed when she heard a loud noise. She opened her eyes and saw a big shadow on the wall. She was fearful. She thought it was a monster. She wanted to call her mom, but she was too scared to make a sound. + +The shadow moved closer to her bed. Lily hid under her blanket. She hoped the monster would go away. She heard a voice. It was not a monster. It was her dad. + +"Lily, are you awake?" her dad asked. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just putting a plate of cookies on your table. I baked them for you. Do you want to try one?" + +Lily peeked out from her blanket. She saw her dad smiling at her. He was holding a plate of cookies. They smelled good. She felt silly. She was not fearful anymore. She was happy. + +She got out of her bed and hugged her dad. "Thank you, dad. I love you. And I love cookies," she said. + +Her dad kissed her on the cheek. "I love you too, Lily. And I'm proud of you. You are very brave. Now, let's enjoy some cookies together. And then, you can go back to sleep. Good night, sweetie." + +Lily nodded. She took a cookie from the plate. It was yummy. She shared it with her dad. They ate and talked for a while. Then, Lily went back to her bed. She was not fearful anymore. She was sleepy. She closed her eyes and dreamed of cookies. +Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park and make up stories. One day, they found a big stick on the ground. Sam said, "This is my weapon. I can fight bad guys with it." Lily said, "No, this is my weapon. I can make magic with it." They both wanted the stick, so they started to pull and tug on it. + +A man was watching them from a bench. He had a big beard and a hat. He looked angry and mean. He said, "Hey, kids, give me that stick. It's mine. I need it for something important." Sam and Lily were scared of the man. They let go of the stick and ran away. + +The man picked up the stick and smiled. He said, "Ha, ha, ha. I fooled them. This is not a stick. This is a rocket. I made it myself. I am very intelligent. I will use it to fly to the moon and rule the world." He pressed a button on the stick and waited for it to blast off. + +But nothing happened. The stick did not move. It did not make any noise. It did not fly. It was just a stick. The man was confused and angry. He said, "What? Why is it not working? I did everything right. I am very intelligent. This is a rocket. It has to work." + +Sam and Lily were hiding behind a tree. They saw the man and his stick. They knew he was lying. They knew it was not a rocket. They knew it was just a stick. They started to laugh. They laughed so hard that they fell on the ground. They said, "He is not intelligent. He is silly. He thinks a stick is a rocket. He can't fly to the moon. He can't rule the world. He is just a man with a stick." They laughed and laughed and laughed. +Tim and Tom are brothers. They like to play golf in the backyard. They have a small stick and a ball. They try to hit the ball into a hole. + +One day, Tim says, "I bet I can shoot the ball into the hole in one try." Tom says, "No, you can't. That's too hard. I bet you miss." Tim says, "Let's see. If I shoot the ball in one try, you have to give me your tasty cookie. If I miss, I give you my cookie. Deal?" Tom says, "Deal." + +Tim takes the stick and swings it at the ball. The ball flies in the air. It goes very far. It looks like it will go into the hole. But then, a big bird comes. The bird sees the ball. The bird thinks the ball is a tasty snack. The bird catches the ball in its beak and flies away. + +Tim and Tom are shocked. They look at the bird. They look at each other. They say, "Oh, no!" They run after the bird. They want their ball back. They also want their cookies. But the bird is too fast. The bird flies over the fence and disappears. + +Tim and Tom are sad. They have no ball and no cookies. They go back to the house. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom says, "Don't worry. I have more balls and more cookies. But next time, be careful. You never know what can happen when you play golf." +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the yard with their dog, Spot. Spot was a dependable dog. He always came when they called him and he never bit anyone. + +One day, Tom and Sam found a big bag of oats in the shed. They wondered what it tasted like. They opened the bag and took a handful of oats each. They put them in their mouths and chewed. + +"Yuck!" Tom spat out the oats. "This tastes bad!" + +"Me too!" Sam agreed. "This is not for us. This is for the horses!" + +They threw the rest of the oats on the ground and ran away. They did not see Spot coming. Spot smelled the oats and thought they were a treat. He ate them all up. He liked the taste of oats. + +But the oats were not good for Spot. They made him sick. He started to feel bad in his tummy. He whined and lay down. He did not want to play anymore. + +Tom and Sam came back to the yard. They saw Spot lying on the ground. They ran to him and petted him. + +"Spot, what's wrong?" Tom asked. "Are you hurt?" + +"Spot, please get up!" Sam begged. "We want to play with you!" + +But Spot did not get up. He did not move. He did not breathe. He was dead. + +Tom and Sam cried. They were very sad. They had killed their dependable dog with the bad oats. They wished they had never tasted them. They wished they had left them for the horses. They wished they had been more careful. They wished they had Spot back. But it was too late. +Lily and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play in the kitchen with their toys. They have a toy stove, a toy pot, and some toy food. They pretend to cook soup for their dolls and teddy bears. + +One day, Lily wants to cook carrots and potatoes for the soup. She puts them in the pot and fills it with water. She turns the knob on the stove to make it hot. She says, "I am a good cook. My soup will be yummy." + +But Tom wants to cook corn and beans for the soup. He does not like carrots and potatoes. He says, "No, I am a better cook. My soup will be yummier." He takes the pot from the stove and dumps out the water. He puts corn and beans in the pot and fills it with water. He turns the knob on the stove to make it hot. + +Lily is angry. She says, "You are a bad cook. You ruined my soup." She tries to take the pot from the stove, but it is too hot. She burns her hand and cries. + +Tom is sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt you. I just wanted to make my soup." He turns off the stove and gets a towel. He wraps it around Lily's hand and hugs her. + +Lily stops crying. She says, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. Maybe we can cook together next time." She hugs him back. + +They decide to share their soup with their dolls and teddy bears. They find out that carrots and potatoes and corn and beans are all good in soup. They say, "We are both good cooks. Our soup is yummy." They smile and eat their soup. +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park. They have a secret spot under a big tree. There is a rope that hangs from a branch. They like to swing on the rope and pretend they are flying. + +One day, they go to the park and see the rope. Anna says, "Let's swing on the rope, Ben. It is fun." Ben says, "OK, Anna. You go first." Anna runs to the rope and grabs it. She swings back and forth, higher and higher. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and says, "Whee! I am a bird!" + +Ben watches Anna and claps his hands. He says, "You are a good bird, Anna. Can I be a bird too?" Anna says, "Yes, Ben. You can be a bird too. But be careful. Don't swing too fast or you will get dizzy." Ben says, "I won't get dizzy, Anna. I am a strong bird." He lets go of Anna's hand and takes the rope. He swings back and forth, faster and faster. He feels the air in his ears and the grass under his feet. He shouts and says, "Wow! I am a plane!" + +Anna watches Ben and smiles. She says, "You are a fast plane, Ben. But slow down a bit. You will get dizzy." Ben says, "I won't get dizzy, Anna. I am a brave plane." He swings back and forth, harder and harder. He feels his head spin and his stomach flip. He says, "Uh-oh. I am dizzy." He lets go of the rope and falls to the ground. + +Anna runs to Ben and helps him up. She says, "Are you OK, Ben? You swung too fast. You got dizzy." Ben says, "I am OK, Anna. But I don't want to be a plane anymore. I want to be a bird like you." Anna says, "OK, Ben. You can be a bird like me. But next time, don't swing too fast. Swing slow and steady. That is the secret of flying." Ben says, "OK, Anna. I will swing slow and steady. That is the secret of flying." They hug and laugh. They are best friends. They like to play in the park.

Mom and Dad have a meeting. They have to go to a big house with unknown people. They have to wear nice clothes and tie their shoes. + +Tom and Lily do not want to go. They want to stay home and play with their toys. They have an idea. They hide their shoes under the bed. They hope Mom and Dad will not find them. + +Mom and Dad are ready to go. They call Tom and Lily. They look for their shoes. They cannot find them. They are late for the meeting. They are angry. + +"Tom, Lily, where are your shoes?" Mom asks. + +"We do not know, Mom. We lost them," Tom says. + +"That is not true. You hid them. You are naughty," Dad says. + +"We are sorry, Dad. We do not want to go to the meeting. We are scared of the unknown people," Lily says. + +Mom and Dad sigh. They understand. They hug Tom and Lily. + +"We know you are scared. But the unknown people are nice. They are our friends. They want to meet you. They have toys and snacks for you. You will have fun," Mom says. + +"Really?" Tom and Lily ask. + +"Really. Trust us. Now, let us find your shoes and tie them. We have to go," Dad says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They help Mom and Dad find their shoes. They let them tie them. They hold their hands. They go to the meeting. They meet the unknown people. They are nice. They have toys and snacks. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna and Ben like to draw pictures. They draw their family, their pets, their toys and their dreams. One day, they draw a big mountain with snow and trees and animals. They want to see a mountain for real, but they live far away from any mountains. + +They have an idea. They ask their mom to help them mail their picture to their grandma, who lives near a mountain. They write "We love you, Grandma" on the back of the paper. Mom puts the picture in an envelope, writes the address and puts a stamp on it. She takes Anna and Ben to the mailbox and lets them put the envelope inside. + +A few days later, Grandma gets the mail. She sees the envelope from Anna and Ben and smiles.

I can show you the mountain for real. It is very beautiful. You will like it." + +Anna and Ben are very happy. They say yes, they want to visit Grandma and see the mountain. They hug Mom and tell her the good news. Mom says yes, they can go to Grandma's house soon. They pack their bags and get ready for the trip. They can't wait to see Grandma and the mountain. They think it will be perfect. +Sara and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to jump on the furniture and pretend they were in a jungle. They had a big sofa, a small chair, a table and a lamp. They made noises like monkeys and lions. + +But then, Sara saw something on the table. It was a bottle with a red cap. She was curious. She climbed on the table and took the bottle. She opened the cap and smelled it. It smelled bad. She wanted to taste it. She put the bottle to her mouth and drank a little. + +It was bitter. Very bitter. Sara made a face and spat it out. She felt sick. She started to cry. Ben heard her and ran to her. He saw the bottle and read the label. It said "poison". He was scared. He dropped the bottle and it broke on the floor. He shouted for help. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to the living room. They saw Sara and Ben, the bottle and the mess. They panicked. They grabbed Sara and Ben and rushed to the car. They drove to the hospital. They hoped it was not too late. They were very angry and sad. They wished they had locked the bottle in a safe place. They wished Sara and Ben had not played with the furniture. They wished they had watched them more. +Lila and Tom were playing with their toy rocket. They wanted to go to space and see the stars and planets. They put on their helmets and suits and got inside the rocket. + +"Ready for blast off?" Tom asked. + +"Yes!" Lila said. "Let's go!" + +They pushed the buttons and the rocket made a loud noise. It flew up in the air and soon they were in space. They looked out the window and saw the moon and the sun and many other things. + +"Wow, space is so big and pretty!" Lila said. + +"But it is also harsh," Tom said. "It is very cold and there is no air. We cannot stay here for long." + +They decided to land on the moon and explore a little. They got out of the rocket and jumped around. They felt very light and happy. + +"Look, I found a rock!" Lila said. She picked it up and showed it to Tom. + +"It is a moon rock," Tom said. "It is very special. Can I have it?" + +"OK, you can have it," Lila said. "But I am hungry. Can we cook something?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He remembered that they had brought some snacks and a small stove in the rocket. + +"Sure, we can cook something," he said. "But we have to be careful. The fire can be dangerous in space." + +They went back to the rocket and took out the snacks and the stove. They cooked some soup and bread and shared it. They felt warm and cozy. + +"This is the best space adventure ever!" Lila said. + +"I agree," Tom said. "But we should go back home soon. Our parents will miss us." + +They finished their meal and packed their things. They got inside the rocket and said goodbye to the moon. They pushed the buttons and the rocket made a loud noise. It flew down to the earth and soon they were home. They ran to their parents and hugged them. + +"We went to space and cooked on the moon!" Lila said. + +"We saw the stars and planets and brought a moon rock!" Tom said. + +Their parents smiled and listened to their story. They were proud and happy. + +The end. +Lily and Max were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked around the house for something fun to do. They saw a big box with a picture of a farm on it. It was a puzzle. + +"Let's do the puzzle!" Lily said. She opened the box and dumped all the pieces on the floor. Max nodded and joined her. They started to look for the edges and the corners. + +They worked hard for a long time. They found the sky, the grass, the barn, and some animals. But they could not find the last piece. It was the piece with the farmer's face. + +"Where is it?" Lily asked. She searched under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the trash. Max looked in the closet, in the drawers, and under the bed. They could not find it anywhere. + +They felt sad and frustrated. They wanted to finish the puzzle. They wanted to see the farmer's smile. + +"Maybe we lost it," Max said. He sighed and sat on the floor. + +"Maybe someone took it," Lily said. She frowned and crossed her arms. + +They started to blame each other. They said mean words. They did not want to share the puzzle anymore. + +"Give me that piece!" Lily shouted. She grabbed a piece from Max's hand. + +"No, it's mine!" Max yelled. He pulled it back. + +They tugged and pulled until the piece ripped in half. They both gasped and dropped it. + +They looked at the broken piece. They looked at the incomplete puzzle. They looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. + +They realized they had made a big mistake. They had fought over something silly. They had ruined their fun. They had hurt their feelings. + +They hugged and said sorry. They said they were sorry for the puzzle too. They wished they could fix it. + +They heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She had a smile on her face and a surprise in her hand. + +"Look what I found in the car!" she said. She showed them the missing piece. It was the farmer's face. + +Lily and Max cheered and clapped. They thanked their mom and took the piece. They put it in the right place. They completed the puzzle. They saw the farmer's smile. + +They smiled too. They learned a lesson. They learned that puzzles are more fun when they work together. They learned that they belong to each other. They learned that they should not fight over things that can be lost or broken. They learned that they should value things that can be found and fixed. Like their friendship. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big bookcase in the attic. It had many books with pictures of ships and islands and animals. + +"Let's sail to a new land!" Tom said. He put a sheet over the bookcase and made a mast. He gave Mia a hat and a map. "You are the captain, Mia. I am the sailor." + +"OK, Tom. Let's go!" Mia said. She looked at the map and pointed to a spot. "There is our island. It has tasty fruits and friendly monkeys. We have to watch out for the sharks and the pirates, though." + +Tom and Mia climbed on the bookcase and pretended to sail. They made sounds of waves and wind and birds. They saw the island in their minds. They were happy and excited. + +Suddenly, they heard a voice from downstairs. It was their mom. "Tom, Mia, lunch is ready. Come down, please." + +Tom and Mia looked at each other. They did not want to stop playing. But they were also hungry. And they knew their mom made tasty sandwiches and juice. + +"Can we come back later, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, honey. But don't make a mess in the attic, OK?" Mom said. + +"OK, mom. Thank you." Mia said. + +Tom and Mia got off the bookcase and folded the sheet. They put the hat and the map back on the shelf. They kissed the bookcase and said goodbye to their island. + +"See you soon, island. We will sail again." Tom said. + +"Yes, we will. And we will have more adventures." Mia said. + +They ran downstairs to have lunch with their mom. They were still smiling and dreaming. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red balloon in the sky. It was so bright and round, they wanted to touch it. + +"Let's get the balloon!" Tom said. He ran to the shed and got a cane. It was long and hard, and he thought he could use it to reach the balloon. + +"That's foolish!" Lily said. "You can't get the balloon with a cane. It's too high and far. You will hurt yourself." + +But Tom did not listen. He held the cane and ran to the field. He tried to jump and poke the balloon with the cane. But he missed and fell on the ground. The cane hit his head and made a big bump. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. He dropped the cane and held his head. He felt very sad and sorry. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was worried and angry. + +"Tom, you are silly!" she said. "Why did you do that? You could have broken your cane or your head. The balloon is not for us. It is for someone else. Maybe it is a gift or a wish. We should let it soar in the sky and be happy for it." + +Tom looked at the balloon. It was still flying high and far. He realized he was wrong and foolish. He said sorry to Lily and hugged her back. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "You are right. The balloon is not for us. It is for someone else. Maybe it is a gift or a wish. We should let it soar in the sky and be happy for it." + +They smiled and watched the balloon soar until it was out of sight. Then they went back to the shed and put the cane away. They decided to play something else that was safe and fun. +Lily and Tom were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to pass the ball to each other and catch it. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +But then a grumpy old man came by. He was walking his dog and he did not like noise. He saw the ball and he kicked it away. He said, "Stop that! You are too loud and you bother me!" + +Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They ran after the ball and found it behind a tree. But the grumpy old man followed them and tried to take the ball from them. He said, "This is my ball now! You are too young and you don't need it!" + +Lily and Tom did not agree. They said, "No, this is our ball! We need it to play and have fun! You are too old and you don't know how to share!" + +They pulled the ball from the grumpy old man and ran away. They found a new spot to play and pass the ball. They hoped the grumpy old man would leave them alone. They said, "We are happy and we like to play. We wish the grumpy old man would be happy too." +Tom and Lily wanted to buy a new toy. They had some money in their piggy bank, but not enough. They decided to save more money by doing chores for Mom and Dad. They helped with dishes, laundry, and cleaning. They put their coins in the piggy bank every day. + +After two weeks, they had enough money for the toy. They were very happy and excited. They asked Mom to take them to the store. Mom said yes and drove them to the mall. They ran to the toy store and looked for the toy they wanted. It was a big truck with lights and sounds. + +But when they got to the shelf, there was only one truck left. And another boy was holding it. He said it was his and he would not share. Tom and Lily were very frustrated and sad. They had worked so hard to save money for the toy. They did not know what to do. + +Then, they saw a girl crying near the cashier. She had dropped her ice cream cone on the floor. She was very upset and no one was helping her. Tom and Lily felt sorry for her. They decided to do something nice. They gave her their money and told her to buy a new ice cream cone. The girl smiled and thanked them. She said they were very kind and generous. + +The boy with the truck saw what Tom and Lily did. He felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was being selfish and mean. He walked over to them and gave them the truck. He said he was sorry and he wanted them to have it. He said they deserved it more than he did. Tom and Lily were very surprised and happy. They thanked the boy and hugged him. They said they would share the truck with him. + +Mom saw everything and was very proud of Tom and Lily. She said they had learned a valuable lesson. She said saving money was good, but saving kindness was better. She said they had made a new friend and a happy memory. She bought them all ice cream cones and they played with the truck together. They had a wonderful day. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a yellow ball that she liked to bounce and catch. Max had a blue car that he liked to zoom and crash. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my car fly!" Max said, throwing his car in the air. + +"Wow, Max, that's cool!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Max said, handing her his car. + +Lily threw the car as high as she could, but she threw it too hard. The car flew out of the window and landed on the street. + +"Oh no, Max, I'm sorry!" Lily said, feeling bad. + +"It's okay, Lily, it was an accident," Max said, trying to be nice. "Let's go get it." + +They ran to the door and opened it. But when they looked outside, they saw a big dog running towards the car. The dog was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and picked up the car in its mouth. + +Lily and Max were frightened. They did not like the dog. They wanted their car back. + +"Go away, dog, that's our car!" Max shouted, waving his arms. + +"Bad dog, bad dog, leave us alone!" Lily cried, holding Max's hand. + +The dog did not listen. It shook the car and growled. It looked angry and mean. + +Lily and Max ran back inside and slammed the door. They hugged each other and cried. They wished their mom was home. They wished the dog would go away. + +They were so scared and tired that they fell asleep on the couch. They did not hear their mom come home. They did not hear her call their names. They did not hear her open the door and see the dog. + +"Hey, you, drop that car right now!" their mom said, in a loud voice. + +The dog was surprised. It dropped the car and ran away. It did not like the mom. It did not want to mess with her. + +Their mom picked up the car and saw that it was Max's. She smiled and shook her head. She knew how much he loved his car. She wondered how it got outside. + +She went inside and saw Lily and Max napping on the couch. They looked so sweet and peaceful. She kissed them gently and covered them with a blanket. She put the car next to Max and the ball next to Lily. + +She was glad they were safe and happy. She was proud of them for being brave and kind. She loved them very much. She napped with them until they woke up. +Sara loves ponies. She has a toy pony that she plays with every day. She calls her pony Lily. Lily is brown and has a long mane and tail. Sara likes to brush Lily's hair and make her run and jump. + +One day, Sara's mom says, "Sara, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" Sara nods and smiles. She loves surprises. She follows her mom to the car. They drive for a long time. Sara looks out the window and sees trees and fields and cows. + +They stop at a big farm. Sara sees a lot of animals. She sees chickens and pigs and sheep and goats. But she also sees something else. She sees real ponies! They are bigger than Lily, but they look like her. They have different colors and markings. Some have spots, some have stripes, some have stars. + +Sara's mom says, "Sara, this is my friend Anna. She has a pony farm. She wants to show you her ponies. Do you want to meet them?" Sara nods and jumps out of the car. She runs to Anna, who is holding a rope. On the other end of the rope, there is a small white pony. The pony has a pink bow on her head. + +Anna says, "Hello, Sara. This is Rosie. She is a very gentle and friendly pony. Do you want to pet her?" Sara nods and reaches out her hand. She touches Rosie's nose. Rosie sniffs Sara's hand and nuzzles her. Sara giggles and hugs Rosie's neck. + +Anna says, "Do you want to ride Rosie? She is very slow and safe. I will hold the rope and walk with you." Sara nods and says, "Yes, please!" Anna helps Sara climb on Rosie's back. Sara holds on to Rosie's mane. Anna says, "Ready?" Sara says, "Ready!" Anna says, "Let's go!" + +Anna walks with Rosie and Sara around the farm. They see the other ponies and animals. They say hello to them. Sara feels happy and excited. She loves Rosie. She thinks Rosie is the best pony in the world. She says, "Thank you, Anna. Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Rosie. This is the best day ever!" +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are in the park. They have a ball, a kite and a bike. + +"Let's play with the ball first," Lily says. "I can kick it very far." + +"OK," Ben says. "But I can catch it very fast." + +They run and kick and catch the ball. They have fun. They laugh and shout. + +After a while, they are hungry. They sit on a bench. They have lunch. They have sandwiches, apples and juice. + +"Yum, this is good," Ben says. "Do you want some of my juice?" + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily says. "Do you want some of my apple?" + +They share their food. They are happy. + +Then, they see a duck. The duck is on the pond. The duck is silly. It quacks and splashes and chases the fish. + +"Look at the duck," Lily says. "It is so funny." + +"Let's go and see it," Ben says. "Maybe it wants some bread." + +They take some bread from their lunch. They go to the pond. They throw some bread to the duck. The duck eats the bread. It quacks and wags its tail. + +"Hello, duck," Lily says. "You are very cute." + +"Quack, quack," the duck says. "You are very nice." + +Lily and Ben smile. They like the duck. They watch it for a long time. They have a good day. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But today, they see something new on the shelf. It is a shiny ornament. It is round and red and has a star on top. It is very beautiful. + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna says. "Can we touch it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Mommy said we should not touch her things." + +"But it is so pretty," Anna says. "Maybe we can just look at it closer." + +Anna and Ben go to the shelf. They stand on their toes and reach for the ornament. They are very careful. They do not want to break it. + +"See, it is not so hard," Anna says. "We can move it a little bit." + +She moves the ornament from side to side. It makes a soft sound. Ben smiles. He likes the sound. + +"Can I try?" he asks. + +"Okay, but be gentle," Anna says. + +She gives the ornament to Ben. He moves it up and down. It makes a different sound. He laughs. He likes the sound too. + +They take turns moving the ornament. They have fun. They forget about their toys. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Mommy. She is coming back from the kitchen. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" she says. + +She sees the ornament in Ben's hand. She looks angry. + +"Uh-oh," Anna and Ben say. They know they are in trouble. They drop the ornament. It falls to the floor. It breaks into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Mommy says. "That was my favorite ornament. It was a gift from Grandma. How could you do this?" + +She picks up the pieces. She is very sad. + +"We are sorry, Mommy," Anna and Ben say. "We just wanted to see it. It was so beautiful." + +Mommy sighs. She hugs them. + +"I know, sweeties," she says. "But you should not touch things that are not yours. You could hurt yourself or ruin something special. Next time, ask me first, okay?" + +"Okay, Mommy," Anna and Ben say. + +They feel bad. They want to make Mommy happy again. + +"Can we help you fix it?" they ask. + +Mommy smiles. She wipes her eyes. + +"Thank you, but I don't think we can fix it," she says. "But maybe we can make a new one. Do you want to help me?" + +"Yes, Mommy," Anna and Ben say. + +They go to the kitchen. They find some paper, glue, scissors, and glitter. They make a new ornament. It is not round and red and shiny. It is square and green and sparkly. It has their names on it. It is not the same as the old one. But it is still beautiful. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to sing. They sang all the time, at home, at school, and in the park. They sang loud and happy songs that made people smile. One day, their mom said they would receive a big surprise. She took them to a big building with many seats and a big stage. She said they would see an opera, a kind of singing show. + +Lily and Max were excited. They sat in their seats and waited for the show to start. They saw many people dressed in fancy clothes and masks. They heard a loud music from a big box. They saw people come on the stage and start to sing. But they did not sing like Lily and Max. They sang very high and very low, very fast and very slow, very soft and very loud. They sang in a language that Lily and Max did not understand. They sang about sad and scary things, like love and death and war. + +Lily and Max did not like the opera. They felt bored and confused. They wanted to sing their own songs, but their mom said they had to be quiet and polite. They tried to be good, but they could not help whispering to each other. + +"This is not fun," Lily said. + +"I want to go home," Max said. + +"Shh, be quiet," their mom said. + +But the people behind them heard them and got angry. They said Lily and Max were rude and noisy. They said they should not be at the opera. They said they should leave. + +Lily and Max felt sad and scared. They did not mean to be bad. They did not understand why the people were so mean. They looked at their mom, who looked pale and sorry. She said they would go home, but they had to wait until the show was over. She said they would talk later. + +Lily and Max held their mom's hand and sat very still. They wished the opera would end soon. They wished they could sing their own songs again. They wished they could receive a different surprise. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play soccer. They have a match with other kids. Lily and Ben are on the same team. + +The match starts. Lily and Ben run and kick the ball. They pass the ball to each other. They try to score a goal. The other team tries to stop them. The other team is good. The match is hard. + +Lily sees a chance. She kicks the ball hard. The ball flies to the goal. But the ball hits the post. The ball bounces back. Ben is near the ball. He can score. But Ben is careless. He does not look at the ball. He looks at a bird. The bird is pretty. Ben likes the bird. He forgets the match. + +"Ben, look out!" Lily shouts. But it is too late. A kid from the other team gets the ball. He runs fast. He scores a goal. The other team wins the match. + +Lily is sad. She is angry. She goes to Ben. She says, "Ben, why were you careless? You did not help me. You did not help our team. You made us lose the match." + +Ben is sorry. He says, "Lily, I am sorry. I was careless. I saw a bird. I liked the bird. I forgot the match. I did not mean to make us lose. Please forgive me." + +Lily is still sad. But she is also kind. She says, "Ben, I forgive you. But next time, please pay attention. The match is important. We are a team. We need to work together. We can win if we try hard." + +Ben nods. He says, "Lily, you are right. Next time, I will pay attention. I will help you. I will help our team. We can win if we try hard." + +Lily and Ben hug. They are still friends. They learn from their mistake. They hope to win the next match. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. The garden has many flowers and trees and birds. Lily and Tom have a ball and a bike and a doll. + +One day, Lily and Tom hear a ring. It is not a bell. It is not a phone. It is a ring from the sky. They look up and see a big gray cloud. The cloud is loud and angry. It makes a ring like thunder. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They run to the house. They knock on the door. Mom opens the door. She sees the big gray cloud. She says, "Don't worry, my loves. It is just a storm. It will go away soon. Come inside and have some cookies and milk." + +Lily and Tom go inside. They hug Mom. They have some cookies and milk. They watch the big gray cloud from the window. They see the rain and the wind and the lightning. They say, "Wow, the storm is very strong. We are glad we are safe and warm." + +Mom says, "Yes, the storm is very strong. But it will not last long. Soon the sun will come out and the garden will be green and bright again. Then you can play in the garden again. But for now, let's read a story and sing a song." + +Lily and Tom smile. They love Mom. They love stories and songs. They forget about the big gray cloud. They are happy. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they see a big pink balloon in the shop. It is very pretty and shiny. They want to buy the balloon. + +"Can we use money to buy the balloon?" Lily asks Sam. + +"Yes, we can. But we need to ask mom or dad first. They have money in their pockets," Sam says. + +They run to find mom and dad. They show them the balloon and ask if they can buy it. Mom and dad smile and say yes. They give them some money and tell them to be careful. + +Lily and Sam are very happy. They take the money and go to the shop. They give the money to the lady and she gives them the balloon. They say thank you and run outside. + +They hold the balloon and play with it. They make it go up and down and make funny noises. They laugh and have fun. They love their pink balloon. It is their favorite toy. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to zoom them on the grass and make loud noises. They saw a big tree with a thick trunk and many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Tim asked. + +Mom was sitting on a bench and reading a book. She looked at the tree and shook her head. + +"No, you can't. The tree is too high and you might fall. You can play with your cars here, or go on the swings, or slide down the slide. But you can't climb the tree." + +Tim and Lily felt sad. They really wanted to climb the tree. They thought it would be fun and exciting. They looked at the tree again and saw a hole in the trunk. They wondered what was inside the hole. + +"Maybe there is a bird or a squirrel or a treasure in the hole," Lily said. + +"Let's go and see," Tim said. + +They ran to the tree and peeked into the hole. It was dark and deep. They could not see anything. They tried to reach into the hole with their hands, but it was too narrow. + +"Maybe we can use a stick to poke into the hole," Tim said. + +He looked around and found a long stick on the ground. He picked it up and pushed it into the hole. He felt something soft and furry. He pulled the stick out and saw a tail. + +"Look, Lily, I found a tail!" Tim said. + +He pushed the stick in again and tried to pull out the whole animal. But the animal did not like that. It made a loud growl and bit the stick. Tim dropped the stick and ran away. Lily followed him. + +They heard a roar and saw a big bear coming out of the hole. The bear was angry and impatient. It did not like to be disturbed. It chased Tim and Lily across the park. + +"Help, Mom, help!" Tim and Lily cried. + +Mom heard their screams and saw the bear. She was scared and surprised. She grabbed her book and threw it at the bear. The book hit the bear on the nose and made it sneeze. The bear stopped and rubbed its nose. It decided to leave the park and go back to the woods. + +Mom ran to Tim and Lily and hugged them. She was glad they were safe. + +"Are you okay, my darlings?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, we are okay. But we are sorry. We should have listened to you. We should not have tried to climb the tree or poke the hole. We did not know there was a bear in the trunk," Tim and Lily said. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. + +"It's okay, my darlings. I know you were curious and adventurous. But you have to be careful and obey the rules. Some things are not allowed for your own good. Now, let's go home and have some cookies and milk. And no more playing with bears, okay?" + +"Okay, Mom. We love you," Tim and Lily said. + +They held Mom's hand and walked home. They learned their lesson and never bothered the bear again. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the lake with their dad. The lake was big and blue, and had many fish and ducks. + +"Dad, how big is the lake?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe we can measure it," Dad said. + +"How do we measure it, Dad?" Sam asked. + +"Well, we can use a stick and a rope. We can tie the rope to the stick, and then throw the stick into the water. Then we can pull the rope back and see how long it is. That will tell us how deep the lake is," Dad explained. + +"Can we try it, Dad?" Tom and Sam said. + +"Sure, let's try it. But be careful, the water is cold and the wind is harsh. Don't fall in," Dad warned. + +Tom and Sam found a stick and a rope. They tied the rope to the stick, and then threw the stick into the water. They waited for a few seconds, and then pulled the rope back. The rope was very long. + +"Wow, the lake is very deep, Dad!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it is, Tom. Good job, boys. You measured the lake," Dad said. + +Tom and Sam were happy. They learned how to measure the lake. They thanked their dad and gave him a hug. Then they played with the ducks and the fish. They had a lot of fun at the lake. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they have an idea. They want to sell some of their toys to other kids. They think they can get money and buy new toys. + +They make a sign that says "Toy Sale". They put some toys on a table in front of their house. They wait for other kids to come. Some kids come and look at the toys. They ask Ben and Lily how much they want. Ben and Lily say a number. Some kids buy the toys. Some kids say no and go away. + +Ben and Lily are happy. They sell many toys. They get many coins. They count the coins. They have enough to buy new toys. They say thank you to the kids who buy their toys. They say bye to each other. They go to their homes. + +It is night. Ben and Lily are in their beds. They think about their toy sale. They think it was successful. They smile. They close their eyes. They sleep. They dream of new toys. +Tom and Mia were very happy. They were going on a safari with their dad. They wanted to see lions and elephants and zebras. Dad said it would be fun and easy. + +But dad also said they had to be careful. He said they had to listen to the guide and stay in the car. He said the animals were wild and could be dangerous. He warned them not to touch or feed or shout at them. Tom and Mia nodded. They said they would be good. + +The safari started. They saw many animals. They saw giraffes and monkeys and hippos. They took pictures and smiled. They saw a big lion. He was lying under a tree. He looked sleepy and bored. Tom and Mia wanted to see him better. They asked dad if they could get out of the car. Dad said no. He said it was not safe. He said the lion could wake up and attack them. Tom and Mia were sad. They said the lion was cute and friendly. They said they wanted to pet him. + +Dad was busy talking to the guide. He did not see Tom and Mia open the door. He did not hear them sneak out of the car. He did not notice them walk towards the lion. Tom and Mia were quiet. They did not want to scare the lion. They wanted to surprise him. They wanted to make him happy. + +The lion heard them. He opened his eyes. He saw them. He was not happy. He was angry. He roared. He jumped. He ran. He caught them. He bit them. He hurt them. He ate them. + +Dad heard the roar. He turned around. He saw the lion. He saw Tom and Mia. He screamed. He cried. He was too late. He could not save them. He could not warn them. He could not help them. He lost them. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. Anna wanted to go on the slide, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Anna said. + +"No, it is too high and fast. I will fall and hurt myself," Ben said. + +Anna tried to remind Ben that he was brave and strong. She told him that she would go first and wait for him at the bottom. She said that they could hold hands on the slide if he wanted. + +Ben looked at the slide and then at Anna. He wanted to be with his friend, but he was still scared. He thought about what Anna said. He decided to try the slide. + +"Okay, Anna, I will go with you. But you have to promise to stay by my side," Ben said. + +"I promise, Ben. You are my best friend. You are important to me," Anna said. + +They climbed up the stairs and sat on the slide. Anna held Ben's hand and smiled. Ben felt a little better. They counted to three and pushed off. The slide was fast and fun. They laughed and screamed as they slid down. They landed on the soft grass and hugged each other. + +"Wow, that was awesome! You did it, Ben! You are so brave!" Anna said. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are so kind. You helped me face my fear. You are the best friend ever!" Ben said. + +They smiled and ran to the slide again. They had a lot of fun that day. They learned that they could do anything together. They always reminded each other how important they were. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside. They have a big tent in the yard. They pretend it is a castle or a spaceship. + +One day, Tim and Sam have a fight. Tim wants to be the king of the tent. Sam wants to be the pilot of the spaceship. They both want to use the same toy. They yell and push each other. + +Mom hears them and comes outside. She is not happy. She tells them to stop fighting and share the toy. She says they have to be friendly and kind to each other. She says they have to say sorry and hug. + +Tim and Sam feel bad. They do not want to make Mom sad. They say sorry and hug. They decide to take turns with the toy. They also decide to make the tent both a castle and a spaceship. They have fun playing together. + +Mom smiles and gives them a snack. She is proud of them. She says they are good brothers. She says they can play in the tent as long as they want. Tim and Sam are happy. They love Mom and they love the tent. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to build things with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could build houses, cars, animals, and anything they wanted. + +One day, they saw a poster for a building contest. The poster said that the best builders would get a medal. Tom and Lily wanted to get a medal, so they decided to join the contest. + +They went to the contest place and saw many other children with their blocks. Some children had big blocks, some had small blocks, some had shiny blocks, and some had plain blocks. Tom and Lily had plain blocks, but they did not mind. They thought they could build something great with them. + +They started to build their tower. They put one block on top of another, carefully and slowly. They wanted to make their tower tall and strong. They did not look at what the other children were building. They only focused on their own tower. + +Some children finished their buildings quickly. They made cars, planes, robots, and castles. They looked at Tom and Lily's tower and laughed. They said, "Your tower is boring and slow. You will never get a medal. You should give up and go home." + +Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They wanted to say something back, but they did not. They kept building their tower, slowly and carefully. They did not give up. + +Soon, the time was up. The judge came to see the buildings. He looked at the cars, planes, robots, and castles. He said, "These are very nice and creative, but they are not very stable. They can fall down easily. They are not good for a building contest." + +Then he looked at Tom and Lily's tower. He said, "This is amazing. Your tower is tall and strong. It does not fall down. It is very good for a building contest. You are the best builders. You get the medal." + +Tom and Lily were very happy. They hugged each other and thanked the judge. They put the medal around their necks and smiled. They did not care about what the other children said. They were proud of their tower. + +The other children were surprised and ashamed. They realized that they were wrong to laugh at Tom and Lily. They learned that building something well takes time and patience. They learned that being fast and flashy is not always better than being slow and steady. They learned to respect Tom and Lily and their tower. + +The moral of the story is: Slow and steady wins the race. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings. They push each other and laugh. + +One day, they go to the park and see a new swing. It is big and red. It has two seats. Anna and Ben want to try it. + +"Let's swing on the new swing!" Anna says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the new swing. But there is a problem. There is a boy on the swing. He is big and mean. He does not let Anna and Ben swing. + +"Go away!" the boy says. "This is my swing!" + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not know what to do. They stand near the new swing and wait. + +"Can we please swing with you?" Anna asks. + +"No!" the boy says. "This is my swing! You are too small and silly!" + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They do not like the boy. They want to swing on the new swing. + +Then, they see a girl. She is big and nice. She comes to the new swing. + +"Hello!" the girl says. "Can I swing with you?" + +The boy looks at the girl. He likes the girl. He wants to swing with her. + +"OK!" the boy says. "You can swing with me!" + +He moves to one seat and lets the girl sit on the other seat. They start to swing. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They see a chance. They run to the new swing and jump on it. They sit behind the boy and the girl. They hold on to the swing. + +"Surprise!" Anna and Ben say. + +The boy and the girl are shocked. They do not see Anna and Ben. They feel them on the swing. + +"Hey!" the boy says. "What are you doing?" + +"We are swinging with you!" Anna and Ben say. + +They swing faster and faster. They laugh and have fun. + +The boy and the girl are angry. They do not want to swing with Anna and Ben. They want to swing alone. + +"Stop!" the boy and the girl say. "Get off!" + +But Anna and Ben do not stop. They do not get off. They swing more and more. + +The boy and the girl are scared. They do not like the swing. They want to get off. + +"Help!" the boy and the girl say. "Let us off!" + +But Anna and Ben do not let them off. They swing until the boy and the girl cry. + +"Sorry!" Anna and Ben say. "We just wanted to swing with you!" + +They stop the swing and get off. They run away. + +The boy and the girl are sad. They do not like the swing. They do not like Anna and Ben. They stand near the new swing and cry. +Tom and Anna were twins who loved the beach. They liked to play with the sand, the shells and the water. One day, they saw some big people riding on the water with long boards. They were surfing. + +"Wow, look at them!" Tom said. "They are so fast and brave. I want to surf too!" + +"Me too!" Anna said. "But how do we get a board?" + +They looked around and saw a board lying on the sand. It was blue and shiny. It had a rope on one end. + +"Maybe we can borrow this board," Tom said. "No one is using it." + +"OK, let's try it," Anna said. "But we have to be careful. The water is deep and the waves are big." + +They dragged the board to the water and tied the rope to Tom's ankle. They climbed on the board and paddled with their hands. They felt the board moving with the water. + +"This is fun!" Tom said. "We are surfing!" + +"Look, there is a big wave coming!" Anna said. "Let's ride it!" + +They tried to stand up on the board, but they lost their balance. The wave crashed on them and pushed them under the water. They felt scared and cold. They tried to swim to the surface, but the rope was pulling them back. They could not breathe. + +"Help! Help!" They cried. + +A distant voice heard them. It was the owner of the board. He was a lifeguard. He saw the twins in trouble and swam to them. He untied the rope and lifted them on his board. He brought them back to the shore. + +"Are you OK?" He asked. "You are very lucky I heard you. You could have drowned. Why did you take my board without asking?" + +Tom and Anna felt ashamed and sorry. They coughed and shivered. + +"We are sorry," Tom said. "We wanted to surf like you. We thought it was easy and fun." + +"We did not know it was dangerous," Anna said. "We did not mean to hurt your board or ourselves." + +The lifeguard sighed and smiled. He wrapped them in a towel and gave them some water. + +"I understand," He said. "Surfing is fun, but it is also hard and risky. You need to learn how to do it safely and with respect. You also need to ask before you use someone else's things. That is called stealing, and it is wrong." + +Tom and Anna nodded and apologized again. They learned their lesson. They thanked the lifeguard for saving them and for teaching them. They promised to never take things without asking and to never surf without supervision. They hugged each other and their parents, who were very worried and relieved. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take things that are not yours and do not do things that are beyond your abilities. Always ask for permission and help when you need it. Be grateful and respectful to those who help you. +Lily liked to paint with her brush. She had many colors in her box. She took out red, yellow and blue. She wanted to make a picture of the sun, the sky and the sea. + +She spread red on a big paper. She made a circle for the sun. She spread yellow around the sun.

You made a deep sea and a bright sun. You are very creative, Lily." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love painting. Can I paint more?" Mom said, "Yes, you can. You can paint anything you want. You have many colors in your box. You can make more pictures with your brush." Lily was happy. She took out more papers and more colors. She spread them on the floor. She started to paint again. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy ship in the bath. They liked to make the ship sail and splash in the water. They also liked to rub the ship with soap and make it shiny and clean. + +One day, Lily wanted to rub the ship with her pink soap, but Tom wanted to rub it with his blue soap. They both reached for the ship and pulled it hard. The ship broke in two and the water turned pink and blue. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "You broke our ship!" + +"No, you broke it!" Tom shouted. "You pulled too hard!" + +They were both very angry and started to yell at each other. They did not want to share or say sorry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the bathroom. She saw the broken ship and the messy water. She was not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Tom tried to blame each other, but Mom did not listen. She took the ship pieces and the soap away. She made them get out of the bath and dry themselves. + +"You need to learn to play nicely and take turns," she said. "No more ship or soap for you until you do." + +Lily and Tom felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not been angry and had shared the ship and the soap. They hugged each other and said sorry. They hoped Mom would give them back their ship and soap soon. They promised to play better next time. +Tom and Jen were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a well in the field. They ran to the well and looked inside. It was very dark and deep. + +"Hello!" Tom shouted into the well. He wanted to hear his voice echo. + +"Hello!" Jen shouted too. They giggled at the sound. + +But then they heard another voice from the well. It was not their voice. It was a weird voice. It was low and scary. + +"Who are you?" the voice said. + +Tom and Jen were scared. They did not know who was in the well. They did not want to talk to the weird voice. + +"Let's go!" Tom said to Jen. He grabbed her hand and ran away from the well. + +But the voice did not let them go. It rose from the well and followed them. It was a big and ugly monster. It had horns and teeth and claws. + +"Come back!" the monster said. "I want to play with you!" + +Tom and Jen screamed and ran faster. They did not want to play with the monster. They wanted to go home. + +They reached their house and slammed the door. They locked the door and hid under the bed. They hoped the monster would not find them. + +They heard the monster knock on the door. It knocked louder and louder. It tried to break the door. + +"Go away!" Tom and Jen said.

Anna and Ben nod and say yes. They go to play with the animals. They are still friends. They are still happy. But they do not play in the wheat anymore. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. The sun was warm and bright, and the grass was soft and green. + +"Look, Ben, a butterfly!" Lily said, pointing to a yellow and black insect. "It is so pretty!" + +Ben nodded and ran after the butterfly. He wanted to catch it and see it up close. He reached out his hand, but the butterfly flew away. + +"Come back, butterfly!" Ben said, following it across the yard. "I just want to say hello!" + +Lily watched Ben and smiled. She saw a big red ball near the fence. She ran to get it and threw it to Ben. + +"Ben, catch!" she shouted. + +Ben heard Lily and turned around. He saw the ball flying towards him and caught it with both hands. He felt the ball bounce in his palms. + +"Wow, thank you, Lily!" he said, smiling. "This is a fun ball!" + +He threw the ball back to Lily and she caught it too. They laughed and played with the ball for a long time. They forgot about the butterfly and enjoyed their warm and happy day in the yard. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars. Lila has a red car. Ben has a blue car. They own their cars. They are happy. + +One day, they go to the park. They see a big truck. The truck is enormous. It is yellow and black. It makes a loud noise. Lila and Ben are curious. They want to see the truck. + +They run to the truck. They see a man. The man is the driver. He is friendly. He says, "Hello, kids. Do you like my truck?" + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, we do. Your truck is enormous. How fast can it go?" + +The man smiles. He says, "My truck can go very fast. It has a lot of speed. Do you want to see?" + +Lila and Ben say, "Yes, please!" + +The man says, "OK, but be careful. Hold my hand. We will go to the road. There, I will show you my truck's speed." + +Lila and Ben hold the man's hand. They go to the road. They see the truck's speed. The truck zooms and roars. Lila and Ben are amazed. They clap and cheer. They say, "Wow, your truck is awesome!" + +The man says, "Thank you, kids. I'm glad you like it. Do you want to go back to the park?" + +Lila and Ben say, "Yes, please!" + +The man says, "OK, let's go. But don't forget your cars. You own them. They are yours." + +Lila and Ben remember their cars. They run to get them. They say, "Thank you, mister. Bye-bye!" + +The man says, "You're welcome, kids. Bye-bye!" + +Lila and Ben go back to the park. They play with their cars. They pretend they are trucks. They make noises. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben like to play with their ball. They roll it to each other and catch it. Sometimes they roll it fast and sometimes they roll it slow. They have fun with their ball. + +One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to roll their ball down the hill and see how far it goes. They run to the hill with their ball and take turns to roll it. The ball goes very fast and very far. They laugh and clap. + +But then, something bad happens. Their ball rolls into a big hole. They cannot see their ball anymore. They are sad and scared. They do not know what is in the hole. They hear a loud noise from the hole. It sounds like a growl. They feel a shock in their hearts. + +They run away from the hole and back to their house. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them and says they are brave. She says they should not play near the hole again. She says there might be a wild animal in the hole. She says they are lucky they did not get hurt. She says they are wise to run away. + +Lily and Ben nod and say they are sorry. They say they will not go to the hill again. They say they will play with their other toys. They say they love their mom. Their mom smiles and says she loves them too. She says she will buy them a new ball. They hug their mom and say thank you. They are happy again. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another block. They count the blocks. One, two, three, four, five. + +"Look, our tower is very long!" Sara says. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "But we can make it longer. I have more blocks here." + +Ben brings more blocks. He puts them on the tower. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. + +"Wow, now our tower is ten blocks long!" Sara says. "That is more than an inch!" + +"What is an inch?" Ben asks. + +"An inch is a little line that you can see on a ruler. It is not very long, but longer than a bug." Sara explains. + +"Oh, I see. So our tower is longer than an inch and longer than a bug. That is cool!" Ben says. + +They keep putting more blocks on the tower. Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. + +But then, the tower is too long. It wobbles and falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. + +"Oh no, our tower is gone!" Sara says. + +"That is okay, we can make another one." Ben says. + +They pick up the blocks and start again. They are happy. The end. +Lily and Tom went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and the water. They had a bucket and a shovel and a ball. + +"Look, I made a big castle!" Lily said. She used the bucket and the shovel to make a thick wall of sand around her castle. + +"That's nice, Lily. Can I play with you?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, Tom. You can help me make more walls. But don't lose the ball, okay?" Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily. I won't lose the ball." Tom said. He put the ball next to the castle and helped Lily with the walls. + +But then a big wave came and washed away the ball. Tom did not see it. He was busy with the sand. + +"Tom, where is the ball?" Lily asked. She looked around and did not see the ball. + +"I don't know, Lily. I put it here." Tom said. He pointed to the spot where the ball was. + +"But it's not here, Tom. You lost the ball!" Lily said. She was sad and angry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to lose the ball. Maybe we can find it." Tom said. He felt bad. + +They looked for the ball in the sand and the water, but they could not find it. The ball was gone. + +"Mom, Dad, we lost the ball!" Lily and Tom said. They ran to their parents. + +"Oh, no. That's too bad. How did you lose the ball?" Mom asked. + +"A big wave took it away." Lily said. + +"We didn't see it." Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, kids. Sometimes things get lost at the beach. But don't worry, we can get you another ball." Dad said. + +He hugged Lily and Tom and gave them a smile. + +"Really? Thank you, Dad!" Lily and Tom said. + +They felt better. They still liked the beach, even without the ball. They played with the bucket and the shovel and made a new castle. They had fun. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with their scooters in the park. They have red scooters with bells. They ring their bells when they go fast or see a dog. + +One day, they see a big sign in the park. It says: "Important! No scooters on the grass. The grass is new and needs to grow." Ben and Mia do not understand the sign. They think it is a picture of a scooter and a bell. + +"Look, Mia, the sign says we can ring our bells on the grass!" Ben says. + +"Yay, let's go!" Mia says. + +They ride their scooters on the grass. They ring their bells loud. They have fun. + +But then, a man comes. He is angry. He wears a hat and a badge. He is the park keeper. + +"Hey, you two, stop!" he shouts. "Can't you read the sign? You are not allowed to ride your scooters on the grass. You are hurting the grass. It is important to follow the rules." + +Ben and Mia are scared. They do not like the man. They do not like his voice. They do not like his hat and badge. + +"Sorry, mister, we did not know," Ben says. + +"We thought the sign said we can ring our bells," Mia says. + +The man sighs. He is not so angry now. He sees that Ben and Mia are small and do not know better. + +"It's okay, kids, but you have to be careful. The sign says no scooters on the grass. The grass is new and needs to grow. You can ring your bells on the path or the playground, but not on the grass. Do you understand?" he says. + +Ben and Mia nod. They understand. They say sorry again. They ride their scooters away from the grass. They ring their bells on the path and the playground. They have fun. They follow the rules. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass. They pretended they were racing drivers and made loud noises. + +"Look, a helicopter!" Ben shouted, pointing at the sky. He saw a big yellow helicopter flying over the trees. He loved helicopters. He wanted to be a pilot when he grew up. + +"Wow, it's so cool!" Lily agreed. She also liked helicopters. She wondered what it was like to fly in one. + +They watched the helicopter for a while, then went back to their cars. But Ben was careless. He forgot to look where he was going. He ran into a man who was walking his dog. The man stumbled and dropped his leash. The dog ran away, barking. + +"Hey, watch where you're going, kid!" the man yelled at Ben. He was angry and scared. He chased after his dog. + +Ben felt embarrassed. He did not mean to make the man fall. He said sorry, but the man did not hear him. He felt bad. He wished he had paid more attention. + +Lily saw what happened. She ran to Ben and gave him a hug. She said it was okay. She said it was an accident. She said they could still play. + +Ben smiled. He was glad Lily was his friend. He said thank you. He said he would be more careful next time. + +They picked up their cars and found a new spot to play. They still liked helicopters, but they also liked to look where they were going. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and learn. One day, they go to camp with their teacher and other kids. Camp is a big place with trees, tents, and animals. + +At camp, they have fun. They sing songs, make crafts, and explore. They see a colorful bird with red, blue, and yellow feathers. The bird makes a loud noise. "What is that?" Lily asks. "It is a macaw," the teacher says. "It can talk, too. Do you want to try?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They go near the bird. The teacher says, "Hello, macaw. What is your name?" The bird says, "Hello, hello. My name is Max. Max the macaw." Lily and Ben laugh. They say, "Hello, Max. We are Lily and Ben. We are at camp." + +Max says, "Camp, camp. I like camp. Do you want to play a game?" Lily and Ben say, "Yes, we do. What game?" Max says, "I will say a riddle. You will solve it. If you solve it, I will give you a clue. The clue will help you find a prize. Do you want to play?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, we do. We like riddles. We are good at solving them." Max says, "OK, OK. Here is the first riddle. I am round and bright. I shine in the sky at night. What am I?" Lily and Ben think. They say, "You are the moon." Max says, "Yes, yes. You are right. The moon is the answer. Here is your clue. The prize is under something that is green and soft. It grows on the ground. What is it?" + +Lily and Ben think again. They say, "It is grass." Max says, "Yes, yes. You are right again. Grass is the answer. Go and look under the grass. You will find the prize." Lily and Ben run to the grass. They lift it up. They see a box. They open the box. They find a book. The book has pictures of animals and words. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, Max. This is a great prize. We can learn more about animals with this book." Max says, "You are welcome, welcome. You are smart and kind. I like you. You are my friends." Lily and Ben say, "We like you, too. You are our friend. You are a colorful and funny macaw." They hug Max. They hug the book. They smile. They have fun at camp. +Lily and Ben are playing with their blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. Lily has a cute teddy bear that she always brings with her. She puts the teddy bear on top of her tower and says, "Look, Ben, my teddy is the king of the tower!" + +Ben smiles and says, "That's nice, Lily, but my tower is taller than yours. See, I have more blocks than you. My tower is the best!" He leans over to show Lily his tower, but he leans too much and bumps into his tower. His tower falls down and makes a loud noise. Some of the blocks break and make a crack. + +Lily and Ben are both surprised and scared. They look at the broken blocks and the fallen tower. Lily sees that her teddy bear is also on the floor. She runs to pick it up and hugs it. She says, "Oh no, Ben, you broke my tower and my teddy! Look, he has a crack on his nose! He is hurt!" + +Ben feels sorry and sad. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to break your tower and your teddy. I was just trying to show you my tower. I didn't see that I was leaning too much. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looks at Ben and sees that he is sincere. She says, "It's okay, Ben, I forgive you. You are my friend and I don't want to be mad at you. Maybe we can fix the blocks and the teddy. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, Lily, I want to help you. Maybe we can use some glue or tape to fix the crack. And maybe we can build a new tower together. A bigger and better tower for both of us and our teddies." + +Lily and Ben smile and hug each other. They go to find some glue and tape and start to fix the blocks and the teddy. They also start to build a new tower together. A bigger and better tower for both of them and their teddies. They are happy and proud of their work. They are also happy and proud of their friendship. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was the sink. They would fill it with water and bubbles and pretend to wash dishes, cups and spoons. Sometimes they would splash each other and laugh. + +One day, their mom said they had to share the sink with their cousin Max, who was visiting. Max was older and bigger than them, and he was not very nice. He said the sink was his and he took all the toys. He did not let Lily and Ben play with him. He made fun of them and called them babies. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted to play with the sink, but they did not know how to make Max stop. They tried to tell their mom, but she was busy cooking. They tried to ignore Max, but he kept teasing them. They felt like they had no choice but to fight him. + +They waited until Max was not looking and grabbed some of his toys. They threw them on the floor and ran to the sink. They turned on the faucet and made a big wave of water. They shouted, "The sink is ours! Go away, Max!" + +Max was surprised and wet. He got mad and ran after them. He tried to push them away from the sink, but they held on. They pushed him back and splashed him more. They said, "You are mean and rude! You can't have the sink!" + +They were having a loud and messy fight. Their mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the water, the bubbles and the toys everywhere. She saw Lily, Ben and Max all wet and angry. She was not happy. + +She turned off the faucet and said, "Stop it, right now! What are you doing? You are making a big mess and a big trouble! You should not fight over the sink. You should share and play nicely. The sink is for everyone!" + +She made them clean up the kitchen and apologize to each other. She said, "You are cousins and you should love each other. You have more fun when you unite and play together. Fighting is not funny, it is silly and bad." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry to Max and their mom. They said they wanted to be friends with Max and play with him. Max felt sorry and embarrassed. He said he was sorry to Lily and Ben and their mom.

They learned that fighting was not funny, it was silly and bad. They learned that being cousins and friends was the best. +Tom and Lily were very happy. They were going on a holiday with their mum and dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. They drove for a long time, but they did not get bored. They sang songs and played games. + +They arrived at a big house near the sea. It was their grandma's house. Grandma was waiting for them with a big hug and a big smile. She had a surprise for them. She took them to the back yard, where there was a big tree. On the tree, there was a swing. It was a swing that grandma had made for them. + +"Wow!" Tom and Lily said. "This is incredible!" + +"Do you want to try it?" Grandma asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. + +They took turns to sit on the swing and push each other. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted with joy. They hang on the swing and felt like they were flying. + +They had so much fun on the swing that they did not want to stop. But grandma said it was time for lunch. She had made their favorite food.

They had the best holiday ever. +Tom was a boy who liked to help his dad. His dad was a mailman who had a big bag full of letters and packages. Every day, Tom and his dad would go in the car and deliver the mail to different houses. + +One day, Tom saw a hairy dog in a yard. The dog was big and brown and had a loud bark. Tom wanted to pet the dog, but his dad said no. + +"That dog is not friendly, Tom. He might bite you. Stay in the car while I deliver the mail to this house, okay?" + +Tom nodded, but he was curious. He watched his dad walk to the door with the bag. The dog saw his dad and ran to the fence. He growled and jumped, trying to get the bag. + +Tom was scared for his dad. He opened the car door and shouted. + +"Dad, watch out! The dog wants your bag!" + +His dad heard him and turned around. He saw the dog and threw the bag over the fence. The dog caught the bag and ran away with it. + +"Tom, what did you do?" his dad asked. He was angry and worried. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to help you. I didn't know the dog would take your bag." + +Tom's dad sighed. He hugged Tom and said. + +"It's okay, son. You meant well. But you have to listen to me. Some dogs are not nice. They can hurt you or the mail. We have to get the bag back. Come on, let's go talk to the owner of the dog." + +Tom and his dad went to the door and knocked. A lady opened it. She was surprised to see them. + +"Hello, can I help you?" she asked. + +"Hello, ma'am. We are the mailman and his son. Your dog took our bag of mail. Can we have it back, please?" + +The lady looked confused. She looked at the dog, who was lying on the grass with the bag. He was happy and wagging his tail. + +"Oh, I'm so sorry. He loves to play with bags. He thinks they are toys. He didn't mean any harm. Here, let me get it for you." + +She went to the dog and took the bag from him. She gave it to Tom's dad and apologized again. + +"Thank you, ma'am. We appreciate it. Have a nice day." Tom's dad said. + +He checked the bag and saw that the mail was still there.

She will like it. It is a gift," Ben said, smiling. + +Sara shook her head. She knew Mom would not like the worm. She would be angry at Ben for being filthy and bringing a worm into the house.

He was proud of himself. He'd had a jolly time, matching the swimming pool. +Mimi was so excited. Today was the day she was finally big enough to open her own special treasure box. It was a special box just for her. Mimi's mommy had painted it red and yellow and it sparkled in the sun. + +Mimi shook it, but she couldn't open it. "Can you help me, Mommy?" she asked. + +Mommy smiled down at Mimi and said, "Sure, sweetie. I have something special to help unlock the box - my special glove. Here, put it on." + +Mimi put on the glove and carefully pushed against the little keyhole at the top of the box. Suddenly, it clicked open! Mimi had unlocked the box! + +Mommy smiled. "What do you see inside, Mimi?" + +Inside, it was very quiet. All Mimi saw was a bright, shining light. She sat back and smiled. "It's so pretty, Mommy." + +"Yes, it's very special," said Mommy.

Maybe you should ask your teacher." + +Claire thought about this for a minute. "My teacher is always so generous. Maybe I should ask her for help." + +So she ran off to her teacher's house and knocked on the door. Her teacher answered, smiling. "What can I do for you, Claire?" + +"I have a quiz but I don't know what to do," Claire said. + +The teacher patted Claire on the head. "Of course I can help you.

We should give it back to the park." + +Jake refused. He shook his head and held the zip close to him. + +His mom said "Please put it back, Jake. People need to find it again." + +Jake was still angry, but he reluctantly put the zip back in its place. He was very sad to see it go. + +The End. +Once upon a time, there was a mysterious man.

He was too small. + +He asked a big boy standing nearby, "Can you help me? I want to stretch my arms and legs all the way around this tree." + +The boy smiled and said, "Sure! I can help you, but you have to tell me how far around it goes." + +Freddy counted again, "One, two, three, four, five, six," he said. + +The big boy smiled again and said, "Let's do it together!
