+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see a big red barn. They want to go inside.

+
+Sara and Ben see a big pile of hay. It looks soft and fun. They want to jump on the hay. They climb up the ladder. They look down. The hay is very high.
+
+Sara is scared. She does not want to jump. She thinks she will fall. Ben is brave. He wants to jump. He thinks it will be fun. He says to Sara, "Don't be scared. Trust me. It will be fun. I will jump with you."
+
+Sara looks at Ben. She sees he is happy. She trusts him. She says, "OK. I will jump with you." They hold hands. They count to three. They jump.
+
+They land on the hay. It is soft and fun. They laugh. They are happy. They roll on the hay. They make hay angels. They find some apples. They are red and sweet. They eat the apples. They are delicious. They share the apples with the animals. The animals are happy too.
+

+Lila was an enthusiastic hippo who loved to cook. She liked to make different dishes with fruits, vegetables, and nuts. She always invited her friends to taste her food and have fun.
+
+One day, she decided to cook a big cake for her birthday. She asked her friend Rani, a rhino, to help her. Rani was happy to help, but he was not very good at cooking. He often spilled the flour, broke the eggs, and mixed the wrong ingredients.
+
+"Lila, how do you make a cake?" Rani asked.
+
+"It's easy, Rani. You need flour, eggs, sugar, butter, and milk. You put them in a big bowl and stir them well. Then you add some bananas and nuts for flavor. You pour the batter in a pan and put it in the oven. You wait for a while and then it's done!" Lila explained.
+
+"OK, I'll try to do it," Rani said.
+
+But Rani was not careful. He put too much sugar, too little butter, and forgot the milk. He also added some carrots and onions instead of bananas and nuts. He stirred the batter so hard that it splashed all over the kitchen. He put the pan in the oven and turned it on.
+
+Soon, the kitchen was filled with smoke and a bad smell. Lila and Rani coughed and ran out of the kitchen. They saw the cake burning in the oven.
+
+"Oh no, Rani! What did you do?" Lila cried.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila. I tried to help, but I messed up. I don't know how to cook," Rani said.
+
+Lila was sad, but she was also kind. She hugged Rani and said, "It's OK, Rani. You are my friend and I love you. You don't have to cook to make me happy. You can help me in other ways. Maybe you can sing a song for me, or tell me a joke, or draw me a picture. You are good at those things."
+
+Rani smiled and said, "Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend and I love you too. I'm sorry I ruined your cake. I'll sing a song for you, and tell you a joke, and draw you a picture. And maybe next time, I'll let you cook by yourself."
+
+Lila and Rani laughed and hugged. They cleaned up the kitchen and went to the living room. They sang, joked, and drew together. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the cake. They were happy and enthusiastic. They were the best friends ever.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a tea set and some cookies. They pretended to be a king and a queen.
+
+"Would you like some tea, your majesty?" Lily asked, holding a cup.
+
+"Yes, please, my dear," Ben said, smiling. "You are a very good server."
+
+They sipped their tea and nibbled their cookies. They felt very happy and fancy.
+
+Suddenly, they saw a fox in the bushes. It had a red fur and a long tail. It looked hungry and curious.
+
+"Hello, fox!" Lily said, waving. "Do you want to join our tea party?"
+
+The fox came closer, sniffing the air. It saw the cookies and licked its lips.
+
+"Sure, I would love to," the fox said, sounding enthusiastic. "You are very kind to invite me."
+
+Lily and Ben did not know that foxes were tricky. They thought the fox was friendly and polite.
+
+"Here, have a cookie," Lily said, offering a plate.
+
+"Thank you, thank you," the fox said, taking the plate. "You are a very generous server."
+
+The fox ate all the cookies in one bite. It did not leave any for Lily and Ben. It smiled and burped.
+
+"Those were delicious," the fox said, rubbing its belly. "But I am still hungry. Do you have anything else to serve?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sad and angry. They realized the fox was greedy and rude.
+
+"No, we don't," Ben said, frowning. "You ate everything. You are a very bad guest."
+
+The fox shrugged and grinned. It did not care. It saw the tea set and licked its teeth.
+
+"Then I will serve myself," the fox said, jumping on the table. "I think I will have some tea and some cups and some plates and some spoons and some..."
+
+Lily and Ben screamed and ran away. They left the tea set and the fox behind. They did not want to play with the fox anymore. They learned a lesson: not everyone who is enthusiastic is nice.
+Sara was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She liked to build things with her blocks, but she wished she had someone to share them with.
+
+One day, she saw a dog outside her window. The dog was brown and fluffy, and had a white spot on his heel. He looked sad and hungry. Sara wanted to help him.
+
+She ran to the kitchen and got some bread and water. She opened the door and called to the dog. "Come here, boy! I have something for you!"
+
+The dog was scared at first, but he smelled the bread and came closer. Sara gave him the bread and water, and petted him gently. The dog wagged his tail and licked her face.
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Do you want to be my friend? I can build you a house with my blocks!"
+
+The dog barked happily and followed her to her room. Sara used her blocks to build a small house for the dog. She put a blanket inside and a toy bone outside. The dog crawled into the house and snuggled with the blanket.
+
+Sara and the dog played together for a long time. They built more things with the blocks, and chased each other around the room. Sara was not lonely anymore. She had a new friend, and he had a new home. They were both very happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw with crayons. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They open the box and see many things inside. They see books, clothes, shoes, and toys. They are happy and want to play with the things.
+
+Anna sees a blue dress in the box. She likes the blue dress. She wants to wear it and pretend to be a princess. She takes the blue dress out of the box and puts it on. She feels pretty and important. She says to Ben, "Look at me! I am a princess!"
+
+Ben sees a blue car in the box. He likes the blue car. He wants to drive it and pretend to be a racer. He takes the blue car out of the box and makes it go. He feels fast and important. He says to Anna, "Look at me! I am a racer!"
+
+Anna and Ben are happy with their blue things. They play and have fun. But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "Anna, Ben, come here! It is time to go home!"
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They do not want to go home. They want to keep their blue things. They say to Mom, "No, Mom, we want to stay! We like our blue things!"
+
+Mom says, "I am sorry, Anna, Ben, but you cannot keep the blue things. They are not yours. They belong to someone else. They are in the box because they are part of a donation. A donation is when you give things to people who need them more than you. The blue things are important, but not for you. They are important for other children who do not have many things. You have to share the blue things with them. You have to be kind and generous."
+
+Anna and Ben are confused. They do not understand what a donation is. They do not want to share their blue things. They like their blue things. They think their blue things are important for them.
+
+Mom sees that Anna and Ben are confused and sad. She hugs them and says, "I know you like the blue things, but you have to let them go. You have many other things at home that you can play with and enjoy. You do not need the blue things. But other children do. They do not have many things at all. They will be very happy and grateful if you give them the blue things. You will make them smile and feel important. You will do a good thing. You will be good friends to them."
+
+Anna and Ben think about what Mom says. They look at the blue things. They look at each other. They feel a little bit sorry for the other children. They want to make them happy and feel important. They want to do a good thing. They want to be good friends.
+
+Anna and Ben nod and say, "OK, Mom, we will give the blue things to the other children. We will share them. We will be kind and generous."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I am proud of you, Anna, Ben. You are very good children. You are very good friends. Come on, let's put the blue things back in the box and take them to the donation center. Maybe we can see the other children there and say hello to them."
+
+Anna and Ben smile and say, "OK, Mom, let's go." They take off the blue dress and the blue car and put them back in the box. They close the box and carry it with Mom. They say goodbye to the yard and the other things in the box. They walk to the car and drive to the donation center. They hope to see the other children there and say hello to them. They hope the other children will like the blue things and play with them. They hope the other children will feel happy and important. They hope the other children will be their friends.
+Sara was very excited for her birthday. She wanted to have a big cake, lots of balloons and many friends to play with. She asked her mom every day if her birthday was soon.
+
+"Not yet, Sara. You have to wait a little longer. Your birthday is in two weeks." Mom said.
+
+"But I want it now!" Sara said. She was persistent. She did not like to wait.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Sara. "I know, sweetie. But waiting is part of the fun. You can help me plan your party and make a wish list. And you can also do something nice for someone else while you wait. That will make you happy and show that you care."
+
+Sara thought about it. She liked to make people happy and show that she cared. She wondered who she could do something nice for. She looked around and saw her little brother, Tom, playing with his blocks. He was always nice to her and shared his toys. She decided to make him a card and a necklace with beads.
+
+She got some paper, crayons, scissors, glue and beads. She worked hard and made a beautiful card and a necklace. She wrote "I love you, Tom" on the card and drew a heart. She put the necklace around the card and went to find Tom.
+
+"Tom, Tom, look what I made for you!" Sara said, holding the card and the necklace.
+
+Tom looked up and smiled. He saw the card and the necklace and hugged Sara. "Wow, Sara, thank you! This is so pretty! You are the best sister ever! I love you, too!"
+
+Sara felt happy and proud. She had done something nice for Tom and showed that she cared. She gave him a kiss and said, "You're welcome, Tom. And guess what? My birthday is in two weeks. We will have a big cake, lots of balloons and many friends to play with. Do you want to help me plan my party and make a wish list?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Sara, I do. That sounds like fun. And I have a surprise for you, too. But you have to wait and see. It's a secret."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Okay, Tom. I can wait. I'm good at waiting. And I like surprises. Let's go and plan my party and make my wish list."
+
+They held hands and ran to Mom. They were happy and excited for Sara's birthday. They cared for each other and were persistent in making each other happy.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had a tea set and a cake that she made from clay. She pretended to serve tea and cake to her dolls and said, "Here you go, my friends. Enjoy your tea and cake. They are very yummy."
+
+One day, a woman came to Lily's house. She was not nice. She had a rough voice and a rough face. She said, "I am here to take your dolls. They are mine now. Give them to me."
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She said, "No, please. They are my dolls. I love them. You can't take them."
+
+The woman did not listen. She grabbed Lily's dolls and threw them in a big bag. She also took Lily's tea set and cake and smashed them on the floor. She said, "Ha ha ha. I don't care what you say. These are my toys now. You can't have them."
+
+Lily cried and cried. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "Mom, the bad woman took my dolls and broke my tea set and cake. She was very mean. I want my dolls back."
+
+Her mom was angry and sad too. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That woman was a thief. She stole your toys and hurt your feelings. She was very wrong. I will call the police and try to get your toys back. But I don't know if we can find her. She might be gone."
+
+Lily sobbed and sobbed. She felt very sad and lonely. She wished she had her dolls and her tea set and her cake. She wished the bad woman never came. She wished she could play with her dolls again.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make roads and bridges with blocks and race their cars on them.
+
+One day, Tim saw a new car in Sam's network. A network was a big box where Sam kept all his cars. The new car was shiny and red and had a bald man as a driver. Tim wanted the new car very much. He asked Sam, "Can I play with your new car?"
+
+Sam said, "No, this is my new car. I got it from my grandma. You can play with the other cars, but not this one."
+
+Tim felt angry and sad. He thought Sam was not a good friend. He waited until Sam was not looking and took the new car from the network. He hid it in his pocket and ran away.
+
+Sam noticed that his new car was missing. He looked everywhere in his network, but he could not find it. He felt very sad and cried. He wondered who took his new car.
+
+Tim went home with the new car. He thought he would be happy, but he was not. He felt guilty and scared. He knew he did a bad thing. He knew Sam would be sad and angry. He did not want to lose his friend. He decided to give the new car back to Sam and say sorry.
+
+The next day, Tim went to Sam's house with the new car. He knocked on the door and said, "Sam, I have something to tell you. I took your new car yesterday. I was wrong and I am sorry. Please forgive me and take your car back."
+
+Sam was surprised and happy. He said, "Tim, thank you for telling me the truth and giving me back my car. I forgive you and I am still your friend. You are brave and honest. Come in and let's play with our cars together."
+
+Tim and Sam hugged and went to play with their cars. They learned that sharing is better than stealing, and that friendship is more important than things. They were happy and had fun.
+Anna likes to make jam with her mom. They pick red berries from the garden and put them in a big pot. They add sugar and water and stir with a wooden spoon. The jam smells sweet and yummy.
+
+One day, Anna's friend Ben comes to play. He sees the jam on the stove and asks, "What is that?"
+
+"That is jam," Anna says. "We make it from berries. Do you want to join us?"
+
+Ben nods. He likes jam too. He takes a spoon and helps Anna and her mom stir the pot. They have fun and talk and laugh.
+
+Soon, the jam is ready. Anna's mom pours it into glass jars and puts them on the table. She gives Anna and Ben each a slice of bread and a knife. They spread the jam on the bread and take a bite.
+
+"Mmm, this is good," Ben says. "This is the best jam ever."
+
+Anna smiles. She is happy to share her jam with her friend. She thinks this is a normal and nice way to spend the afternoon.
+Lily liked to teach her little brother Ben how to do things. She taught him how to sing, how to draw, and how to play with her toys. Ben loved to learn from Lily and always listened to her.
+
+One day, Lily decided to teach Ben how to cook dinner. She said, "Ben, come with me to the kitchen. I will show you how to make soup. It is easy and fun." Ben followed Lily to the kitchen and saw a big pot on the stove. Lily said, "First, we need to fill the pot with water. Be careful, the water is cold and the pot is heavy." Lily turned on the faucet and held the pot under it. Ben watched and wanted to help.
+
+"Can I hold the pot too?" Ben asked. Lily said, "No, Ben, it is too big for you. You can hold the spoon and stir the soup later." Ben felt sad and said, "But I want to hold the pot. I can do it. I am big like you." Lily said, "No, Ben, you are not big like me. You are small and silly. You will drop the pot and make a mess." Ben felt angry and said, "No, I am not small and silly. You are mean and bossy. I will show you I can hold the pot." Ben reached for the pot and pulled it hard.
+
+Lily screamed, "Ben, stop! You will spill the water!" But it was too late. The pot slipped from Lily's hands and fell to the floor. The water splashed everywhere and burned Lily's legs. Lily cried, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Ben dropped the spoon and ran away. He was scared and sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He just wanted to hold the pot.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor, crying and bleeding. She saw the pot, the water, and the spoon. She did not see Ben. She was shocked and angry. She said, "Lily, what happened? Who did this to you?" Lily said, "Ben did it. He wanted to hold the pot and he spilled the water. He was bad and stupid." Mom said, "Where is Ben? I need to talk to him." Lily said, "I don't know. He ran away. He is a coward and a liar." Mom said, "Lily, don't say that. Ben is your brother. You should love him and forgive him. He made a mistake, but he did not mean to hurt you. He was curious and brave. He wanted to learn from you. You should teach him, not scold him." Lily said, "No, I don't love him. I don't forgive him. I don't want to teach him. I hate him. He ruined everything. He ruined our dinner. He ruined our fun. He ruined our family." Mom said, "Lily, that is not true. He did not ruin anything. He just made a mess. We can clean it up. We can make another dinner. We can have more fun. We can be a happy family. But we need to find Ben. We need to hug him and tell him we love him. We need to help him and teach him. We need to be careful and kind. Can you do that, Lily?" Lily said, "No, I can't. I won't. I don't care. Go away, Mom. Leave me alone." Mom said, "Lily, please, don't be like this. Don't be stubborn and selfish. Don't be bitter and hateful. Don't be lonely and sad. Be sweet and generous. Be forgiving and loving. Be happy and friendly. Be my good girl, Lily. Be a good sister, Lily. Be a good teacher, Lily." Lily said, "No, Mom, I can't. I won't. I don't care. I am not your good girl. I am not a good sister. I am not a good teacher. I am a bad girl. I am a bad sister. I am a bad teacher. I am a bad person. I am a bad story." And she stopped talking. And she stopped crying. And she stopped feeling. And she stopped living. And that was the end of Lily. And that was the end of the story. And it was a bad ending. And it was a bad story. And it was a bad day. And it was a bad life. And it was a bad world. And it was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
+Lily liked to play with her toy soldiers. She had many of them, and she was very organized. She put them in rows and groups, and gave them names and jobs. She liked to add new soldiers to her army, and sometimes she traded with her friends.
+
+One day, she saw a big box of soldiers at the store. They were shiny and colorful, and they had guns and helmets and flags. Lily wanted them very much, but they were too expensive. She asked her mom, but her mom said no. Lily was sad, but she did not give up.
+
+She decided to save her money and buy the soldiers herself. She did chores, and sold some of her old toys, and asked for coins from her grandma. She counted her money every day, and put it in a jar. She was very careful, and very patient.
+
+Finally, she had enough money to buy the soldiers. She was very happy, and ran to the store with her mom. She grabbed the box of soldiers, and paid the cashier. She thanked her mom, and hugged the box. She could not wait to get home and play with them.
+
+But when she opened the box, she was shocked. The soldiers were not shiny and colorful, they were dull and gray. They did not have guns and helmets and flags, they had broken arms and legs and heads. They were not new, they were old and dirty and damaged. Lily felt cheated and angry. She cried and cried, and threw the box away. She wished she had never seen the soldiers, and never sold her old toys. She wished she had kept her money, and her organized army. She learned a hard lesson, and never trusted the store again.

+
+"No, no, no!" Lily says. "The suit is for the doll, not for the car. The car is too big. The suit is too small. It will rip."
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben says. "The suit is for the car, not for the doll. The doll is too boring. The suit is too fancy. It will stain."

+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea.
+
+"Why don't you share the suit?" he says. "You can take turns. Lily can dress her doll in the suit for a while. Then Ben can dress his car in the suit for a while. Then you can swap. That way, you can both have fun. And you can be friends again."
+
+Lily and Ben like Tom's idea. They smile and nod. They say, "Thank you, Tom. You are very smart and kind. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Tom is shy. He blushes and nods. He says, "Yes, please. I would like to play with you."

+"We can talk because we eat a lot of nuts," another squirrel said. "Nuts make us smart and strong. They help us grow."
+
+Lily and Ben wanted to grow too. They asked the squirrels if they could have some nuts.
+
+"Sure, you can have some nuts," the squirrels said. "We have plenty in our nest. Come and see."
+
+Lily and Ben followed the squirrels to their nest. They saw many nuts of different shapes and sizes. The squirrels gave them some nuts to eat. They tasted good.
+
+"Thank you, squirrels," Lily and Ben said. "You are very friendly and helpful."
+
+"You are welcome, Lily and Ben," the squirrels said. "You are very nice and polite."
+
+They all became friends. They had a wonderful picnic. They learned a lot from each other. They had a lot of fun.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big stick on the ground. Sam wanted to pick it up and pretend it was a sword. Lily wanted to use it as a wand. They both reached for the stick at the same time.
+
+"Give me the stick!" Sam shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily yelled.
+
+They pulled and tugged on the stick. They did not want to share. They were very angry.
+
+Suddenly, a big dog ran towards them. It barked and growled. It wanted the stick too. It jumped on Sam and Lily and bit the stick. Sam and Lily let go of the stick. They were scared and hurt.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried.
+
+But no one heard them. The dog was too loud. The dog ran away with the stick. Sam and Lily were left alone. They had no stick and no friends. They felt helpless and sad. They wished they had shared the stick. But it was too late.
+Lily liked to build with her blocks. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could make towers, houses, bridges and more. She was very good at building.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. There was a big sandbox with many toys. Lily saw some other kids playing there. She wanted to join them, but she was shy. She did not know how to say hello.
+
+She sat on the edge of the sandbox and watched. She saw a boy with a red hat. He was building a castle with a bucket and a shovel. He had a big smile on his face. Lily liked his castle. She wished she could help him.
+
+She took out her blocks from her bag. She started to build a wall next to his castle. She hoped he would notice her. She was very quiet and careful.
+
+The boy with the red hat looked up. He saw Lily and her blocks. He liked her wall. He smiled at her and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily felt happy. She nodded and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. I like your castle."
+
+They started to build together. They made the castle bigger and stronger. They added windows, doors, flags and flowers. They had fun.
+
+Lily heard a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw her mom. Her mom said, "It's time to go, Lily. Did you have fun?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I made a new friend. His name is Ben. He likes to build too."
+
+She said goodbye to Ben and gave him a hug. She packed her blocks and left with her mom. She felt proud and happy. She was not shy anymore.
+Tim and Sam like to play with trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They make tracks on the floor and pretend to be drivers. They take turns to say "choo choo" and "all aboard".
+
+One day, Tim finds a new train in his toy box. It is green and shiny and has a big engine. Tim is very happy and wants to play with it. He shows it to Sam and says, "Look, Sam, I have a new train. It is green and fast. Do you want to see it go?"
+
+Sam nods and smiles. He likes trains too. He wants to play with the new train. He reaches out his hand and says, "Can I hold it, Tim? Can I try it?"
+
+But Tim does not want to share. He pulls the train away and says, "No, Sam, this is my train. You have your own trains. Go play with them. This is mine."
+
+Sam feels sad and angry. He thinks Tim is not nice. He wants to have the green train too. He thinks of a plan. He waits until Tim is not looking and then he grabs the green train. He runs away with it and says, "Ha ha, Tim, now I have the green train. It is mine now."
+
+Tim sees Sam take his train and he is very mad. He chases Sam and shouts, "Give it back, Sam, give it back. That is my train. You are a bad friend."
+
+They run around the room, holding the train and pulling it. They do not see the table leg in their way. They bump into it and fall down. The green train flies out of their hands and hits the wall. It breaks into pieces. The engine stops working. The wheels come off. The green paint chips off.
+
+Tim and Sam look at the broken train and cry. They have ruined the new train. They have no more fun. They have no more friends. They are very sorry.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and climb. Lily sees a big bell on a tower. She wants to ring it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bell! Let's go ring it!" Lily says.
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. The tower is high and the stairs are steep." Ben says.
+
+They run to the tower and climb the stairs. They reach the top and see the bell. It is shiny and round. Lily reaches for the rope. She pulls it hard. The bell makes a loud sound.
+
+"Ding dong! Ding dong!" the bell says.
+
+Lily and Ben laugh. They like the sound. They pull the rope again and again.
+
+But someone does not like the sound. It is Mr. Green, the gardener. He is working in the flower bed. The bell hurts his ears. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Stop ringing that bell! You are making too much noise!" Mr. Green yells.
+
+Lily and Ben hear Mr. Green. They are scared. They stop ringing the bell. They look at each other.
+
+"Let's go, Lily. Mr. Green is mad. We should say sorry." Ben says.
+
+"OK, Ben. But how do we get down? The stairs are steep and we are high." Lily says.
+
+They look around. They see a long hose. It is flexible and strong. It is hanging from the tower.
+
+"I have an idea, Lily. We can slide down the hose. It will be fun and fast." Ben says.
+
+"Are you sure, Ben? The hose is long and thin. It might break." Lily says.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. The hose is flexible and strong. It will not break. Trust me." Ben says.
+
+He grabs the hose and wraps it around his waist. He jumps off the tower. He slides down the hose. He lands on the grass. He is safe and happy.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that was cool! You are brave and smart." Lily says.
+
+She grabs the hose and wraps it around her waist. She jumps off the tower. She slides down the hose. She lands on the grass. She is safe and happy.
+
+"Wow, Lily, that was fun! You are brave and smart, too." Ben says.
+
+They run to Mr. Green. They say sorry for ringing the bell. They say they were just playing. They say they will not do it again.
+
+Mr. Green is still angry. But he sees that they are sorry. He sees that they are safe. He sees that they are kids. He softens his voice.
+
+"OK, you kids. I accept your apology. But don't ring that bell again. It is not a toy. It is for emergencies. And don't slide down the hose again. It is not a slide. It is for watering. You could get hurt. You could damage the hose. Do you understand?" Mr. Green says.
+
+"Yes, Mr. Green. We understand. We are sorry. We will not ring the bell again. We will not slide down the hose again. We will play somewhere else." Lily and Ben say.
+
+They thank Mr. Green. They wave goodbye. They run to the swings. They swing high and low. They laugh and sing. They are happy. They are friends. They are kids.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. One day, they are very bored. They want to do something new and fun.
+
+They see the freezer in the kitchen. They think it is a big box with ice and snow. They want to see what is inside. They open the freezer door and climb in. They see many bags and boxes. They touch them and feel cold.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Ben says. "Let's pretend we are in a snow land!"
+
+"OK!" Sara says. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are in the living room. They will be angry if they find us here."
+
+They close the freezer door and start to play. They make snowballs and snowmen. They laugh and giggle. They forget about time.
+
+Mom and Dad are watching TV. They hear a strange noise from the kitchen. They go to check. They see the freezer door is open. They see two small feet sticking out. They are scared.
+
+They pull out Sara and Ben. They are shivering and blue. They wrap them in blankets and hug them. They are angry and worried.
+
+"What were you doing in the freezer?" Mom asks. "Do you know how dangerous that is? You could have frozen to death!"
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Sara and Ben say. "We were just playing. We didn't know it was bad."
+
+Mom and Dad sigh. They are glad their children are alive. They explain to them why they should never go in the freezer again. They tell them to pray and thank God for saving them.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They feel sorry and grateful. They pray and say sorry to God. They say they love Mom and Dad. They promise to never go in the freezer again. They hug and kiss them.
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They forgive them. They love them. They say they are proud of them. They take them to the couch and watch cartoons with them. They are happy and warm.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara wanted to feed the ducks. She had some bread in her bag.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go to the pond!" Sara said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. There might be something in the water," Ben said.
+
+They walked to the pond and Sara threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. Sara and Ben smiled and laughed. They saw a pretty fish with shiny scales. Sara threw some more bread to the fish.
+
+"Look, Ben, a pretty fish!" Sara said.
+
+"Yes, it is pretty. But I think it is not a fish. It is a crocodile!" Ben said.
+
+Sara and Ben gasped. They saw a big mouth with sharp teeth appear from the water. It was a crocodile! It wanted to eat the bread and the ducks and maybe Sara and Ben too!
+
+"Run, Sara, run!" Ben shouted.
+
+Sara and Ben ran away from the pond as fast as they could. They heard the crocodile splash and roar. They were scared and ran to their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, there was a crocodile in the pond!" Sara and Ben said.
+
+"A crocodile? Are you sure?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, we saw it. It was big and scary and hungry!" Sara and Ben said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. You are safe now. The crocodile can't get you here. But next time, be more careful and don't go near the pond. Crocodiles are not pretty. They are dangerous."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and said, "OK, mom. We will be more careful. We don't like crocodiles. We like ducks and fish and you."
+Ben and Lily like to jog in the park with their dog Spot. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and around and around. Spot likes to jog with them and chase the birds and the squirrels.
+
+One day, they see a big black beetle on the path. It has shiny wings and long legs. Ben and Lily stop to look at it. They think it is cool and pretty.
+
+"Hello, beetle," Ben says. "Do you want to jog with us?"
+
+The beetle does not answer. It crawls on the path, looking for food and a place to hide.
+
+"Maybe it is shy," Lily says. "Or maybe it is busy."
+
+Spot comes over and sniffs the beetle. He barks and tries to paw it. The beetle does not like that. It opens its wings and flies away.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. "The beetle can fly!"
+
+"It is a smart beetle," Lily says. "It knows how to escape from Spot."
+
+Ben and Lily laugh and clap. They think the beetle is amazing. They jog on, looking for more things to see and learn. Spot follows them, wagging his tail. They have fun in the park.
+Tom and Lily were playing with cards. They liked to make different shapes and pictures with them. Tom had a lot of cards, but Lily only had a few. Lily wanted more cards, but Tom did not want to share.
+
+"Can I have some of your cards, please?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"No, they are mine. Go away!" Tom said.
+
+Lily felt sad and envious. She wished she had more cards like Tom. She looked around and saw a big box of cards on the shelf. She had an idea. She climbed on a chair and reached for the box. She opened it and saw many colorful cards inside. She smiled and took some of them.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have more cards than you now!" Lily said.
+
+Tom looked up and saw Lily with a lot of cards. He was angry and surprised. He wanted his cards back.
+
+"Hey, those are my cards! Give them back!" Tom said.
+
+He got up and ran towards Lily. He tried to grab the cards from her, but Lily held them tight. They started to pull and tug on the cards. The cards ripped and tore. Some of them flew in the air. Some of them fell on the floor.
+
+"Stop it, stop it!" Lily said.
+
+"Let go, let go!" Tom said.
+
+They did not listen to each other. They kept on fighting over the cards. They did not notice that their mom came into the room. She saw the mess and the noise. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" Mom said.
+
+She took the cards from Tom and Lily. She put them back in the box. She put the box on the shelf. She made Tom and Lily sit on the couch.
+
+"You are both naughty. You should not be envious of each other. You should share and play nicely. Cards are not important. Friends are important. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They nodded their heads.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry." Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and said sorry. They decided to play with something else. They attached some blocks and made a tower. They had fun and laughed. They were friends again. Mom smiled and gave them a hug. She was proud of them. She gave them a cookie and a glass of milk. They thanked her and enjoyed their snack. They learned their lesson. They did not fight over cards anymore.
+Lily was sad. She wanted to play with her toy car, but it was broken. She tried to fix it, but it did not work. She cried and cried. She did not hear her mom call her for lunch.
+
+Mom came to Lily's room and saw her crying. She hugged her and asked, "What is wrong, my dear?"
+
+Lily showed her the broken toy car. She said, "It is old and bad. It does not go. I want a new one."
+
+Mom said, "I am sorry, Lily. I know you love your toy car. But sometimes things get old and break. It is not your fault. Maybe we can find a way to make it better. Or maybe we can get you a new one later. But now, you need to eat something. You must be hungry."
+
+Lily nodded. She wiped her tears with a napkin. She followed her mom to the kitchen. She saw a plate of sandwiches and a glass of juice. She smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are good. Can I have the one with cheese?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, you can. You are welcome, Lily. You are good, too. Now, eat up and then we can read a story together. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily said, "That sounds nice. I love stories. Can we read the one with the dog and the cat?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure, we can. That is a funny story. Come on, let's go to the couch and cuddle."
+
+Lily and her mom ate their lunch and then went to the couch. They read the story with the dog and the cat. They laughed and hugged. Lily felt happy. She forgot about her broken toy car. She said, "Mom, you are the best. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you, too, Lily. You are the best. Now, do you want to take a nap?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I do. I am sleepy. Can you sing me a song?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, I can. I will sing you your favorite song. Close your eyes and dream of something nice."
+
+Lily closed her eyes and listened to her mom's song. She felt warm and cozy. She fell asleep in her mom's arms. She did not cry anymore. She was happy.
+Lisa is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She can dress herself, brush her teeth, and eat her breakfast. She does not need help from Mom or Dad.
+
+One day, Lisa wants to go to the park with her friends. She tells Mom, "I can go by myself. I am independent." Mom says, "No, Lisa. You are too little to go by yourself. You need to wait for me. I will go with you."
+
+Lisa is not happy. She does not want to wait. She thinks Mom is slow. She has an idea. She says, "OK, Mom. I will wait in my room." She runs to her room and closes the door. She opens her closet and finds her backpack. She puts on her backpack and sneaks out of the window. She thinks, "I am independent. I can go to the park by myself."
+
+Lisa walks to the park. She sees her friends. They are playing on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. She joins them. She has fun. She does not think about Mom.
+
+Mom finishes her work. She goes to Lisa's room. She knocks on the door. She says, "Lisa, are you ready to go to the park?" She does not hear an answer. She opens the door. She sees the closet is open. She sees the window is open. She sees Lisa is gone. She is worried. She says, "Oh no, Lisa. Where are you?"
+
+Mom runs to the park. She looks for Lisa. She sees Lisa with her friends. She is angry and scared. She says, "Lisa, what are you doing here? You are not supposed to go by yourself. You are not independent. You are in trouble."
+
+Lisa sees Mom. She is surprised and scared. She says, "Mom, I am sorry. I wanted to go to the park. I wanted to be independent. I did not mean to make you worry."
+
+Mom hugs Lisa. She says, "Lisa, I love you. I know you want to be independent. But you are still little. You need to listen to me. You need to be safe. You need to stay with me."
+
+Lisa hugs Mom. She says, "Mom, I love you. I know you want to keep me safe. I will listen to you. I will stay with you. I am sorry."
+
+Mom and Lisa go home. They talk and hug. They learn from each other. They are happy.
+Anna likes to bake with her mom. They make cookies and cakes and pies. Anna likes to eat the dough and lick the spoon. Mom says that is not good, but Anna does not care.
+
+One day, Anna wants to bake by herself. She finds some flour and sugar and eggs in the kitchen. She mixes them in a big bowl. She does not know how much to put. She makes a big mess. She spills some on the floor and on the carpet. The carpet is brown, but now it has white spots.
+
+Anna hears her mom coming. She is scared. She tries to hide the bowl under the table. But the bowl is too big. It falls and breaks. The dough goes everywhere. Anna cries.
+
+Mom sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Anna, what did you do? You ruined the carpet and the bowl. You cannot bake by yourself. You are too little. You need to ask me first."
+
+Anna is sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to bake for you. I wanted to make you happy. I love you."
+
+Mom hugs Anna. She says, "I love you too, Anna. But you need to be careful. Baking is fun, but it is also hard. You need to follow the rules and the recipe. Next time, we can bake together. OK?"
+
+Anna nods. She says, "OK, Mom. I'm sorry. Can we clean the mess?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, we can. But first, let's have some cookies. I baked some for you. They are in the oven. Do you want some?"
+
+Anna smiles. She says, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mom. You are the best baker ever."
+Lily and Ben are at the park with Mom. They see a big slide that looks like fun. Lily wants to go first, but Ben says he is faster.
+
+"Let me go first, Lily. I can slide very fast and make a big splash in the water," Ben says.
+
+"No, Ben. I want to go first. You always go first. It is my turn now," Lily says.
+
+Mom hears them and smiles. She says, "Why don't you both go together? Hold hands and slide down at the same time. Then you can swim in the water and have fun."
+
+Lily and Ben like Mom's idea. They hold hands and climb up the stairs to the top of the slide. They sit down and push off. They slide down very fast and make a big splash in the water. They laugh and giggle as they swim in the water.
+
+"That was fun, Ben. Let's do it again," Lily says.
+
+"OK, Lily. But this time, let's spin around and make ourselves dizzy," Ben says.
+
+They climb up the stairs again and sit down on the slide. They spin around and around as they slide down. They feel dizzy and silly as they splash in the water. They swim and play until Mom says it is time to go home.
+
+They dry off and put on their clothes. They hug Mom and thank her for taking them to the park. They are happy and tired as they go home. They had a lot of fun on the slide and in the water.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big purple box under a tree. It had a sign that said "Do not open".
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a present," Ben said.
+
+"Who is it for?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Maybe it is for us. Let's open it and see," Ben suggested.
+
+He walked towards the box, but Lily stopped him.
+
+"No, Ben. We can't do that. The sign says do not open. It is not ours. It might belong to someone else. Or it might be dangerous. It is a mysterious box," Lily said.
+
+"But I want to know what is inside. Maybe it is something fun. Maybe it is a toy or a cake or a book," Ben said.
+
+He tried to pull Lily with him, but she resisted.
+
+"Ben, please. Listen to me. We should not touch things that are not ours. We should respect other people's things. And we should follow the rules. The sign is a rule. It is there for a reason. Maybe someone will come and get the box. Or maybe someone will tell us what it is. But we should not open it. It is wrong," Lily said.
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was serious and that she cared about him. He thought about what she said. He realized that she was right. He let go of her hand and stepped back from the box.
+
+"OK, Lily. You are right. I'm sorry. I was curious, but I should not be greedy or naughty. We should not open the box. We should wait and see. Maybe someone will mention it to us later. Or maybe we will find out another way. But we should not break the rule. It is not nice," Ben said.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. I'm glad you understand. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I was worried about you. I love you," Lily said.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. You are a good friend too. You are smart and kind. Come on, let's go and play somewhere else. Maybe we will find something else that is purple and fun," Ben said.
+
+They held hands and ran away from the box. They did not know what was inside, but they did not care. They were happy and proud of themselves. They had learned a lesson. They had learned to be honest and respectful. And they had learned to listen to each other. They were good friends. And they had fun.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is very high and shiny. Anna thinks it looks fancy and fun. She wants to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide, Ben!" Anna says.
+
+Ben looks at the slide. He feels scared. He thinks it is too high and fast. He does not want to go on the slide.
+
+"I don't want to go on the slide, Anna. It is not safe. We might fall and hurt ourselves." Ben says.
+
+Anna is sad. She does not want to play alone. She wants Ben to have fun with her. She thinks of something else they can do.
+
+"I have an idea, Ben. Why don't we play on the swings? They are not too high or fast. They are safe and fun. We can swing and laugh together." Anna suggests.
+
+Ben likes the idea. He thinks the swings are safe and fun. He is not scared of the swings. He smiles and nods.
+
+"OK, Anna. Let's play on the swings. That sounds like a good idea." Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben run to the swings. They sit on the swings and push each other. They swing and laugh together. They have fun in the park. They are happy friends.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are chefs and make yummy food. They use pots, pans, spoons and mugs to cook. They also wear aprons and hats.
+
+"Ben, can you pass me the mug?" Anna asks. She wants to make tea for their teddy bears.
+
+"Here you go, Anna," Ben says. He gives her a blue mug with a star on it. He likes that mug. It is his favorite.
+
+Anna fills the mug with water from the tap. She puts it on the stove. She turns the knob. She waits for the water to boil.
+
+"Anna, look!" Ben says. He points to the window. He sees something outside. It is a bird. A big, red bird. It is hanging on the bird feeder. It is eating the seeds.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is a pretty bird!" Anna says. She looks at the bird. She likes its bright color. She wants to see it closer.
+
+They run to the window. They try to open it. They want to say hello to the bird. But the window is locked. They cannot open it.
+
+"Mom, mom, can you open the window?" Anna calls. She wants her mom to help them.
+
+Mom comes to the kitchen. She sees Anna and Ben at the window. She sees the bird on the bird feeder. She smiles.
+
+"Hi, kids, what are you doing?" Mom asks.
+
+"Mom, can you open the window? We want to see the bird," Ben says.
+
+"Sure, I can open the window. But you have to be quiet. You don't want to scare the bird away," Mom says.
+
+She opens the window. Anna and Ben lean out. They see the bird up close. It is beautiful. It has a long tail and a shiny beak.
+
+"Hello, bird, we are Anna and Ben. We like you," Anna says softly.
+
+The bird looks at them. It tilts its head. It makes a sound. It sounds like a whistle.
+
+"Hello, bird, can you whistle?" Ben asks.
+
+The bird whistles again. It sounds like a song.
+
+"Wow, bird, you can sing!" Anna says.
+
+The bird sings some more. Anna and Ben listen. They clap their hands. They are happy.
+
+Mom watches them. She is happy too. She sees the mug on the stove. She remembers the tea. She turns off the knob. She takes the mug. She pours the water into another mug. She adds a tea bag. She stirs it. She smells it. It smells good.
+
+"Kids, do you want some tea?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, please, Mom," Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom gives them each a mug of tea. She gives them some cookies too. They sit at the table. They drink their tea. They eat their cookies. They watch the bird.
+
+The bird finishes the seeds. It flies away. It waves its tail. It whistles goodbye.
+
+"Bye, bird, come back soon," Anna and Ben say.
+
+They finish their tea. They thank Mom. They hug her. They are happy.
+
+They have a secret. They have a hidden friend. A bird friend. A red bird friend. A singing bird friend. They like their bird friend. They hope to see it again.
+Lily and Tom are playing outside in the garden. They like to run and jump and make noise. But then they see dark clouds in the sky. They hear a loud boom. It is thunder.
+
+"Let's go inside, Lily!" Tom says. "It will rain soon!"
+
+But Lily does not want to go inside. She likes the garden. She likes the flowers and the bugs and the birds. She does not like the thunder.
+
+"No, Tom, I want to stay here!" Lily says. "The rain is fun!"
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not like the rain. He does not like to get wet and cold. He likes to be dry and warm.
+
+"Come on, Lily, please!" Tom says. "The rain will make you sick!"
+
+But Lily does not listen. She runs to the big tree. She sees a hole under the tree. She crawls inside the hole. She thinks it is a good place to hide from the rain.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a cave!" Lily says. "It is warm and cozy here!"
+
+Tom follows Lily to the tree. He sees the hole. He does not think it is a good place to hide. He thinks it is dark and dirty and scary. He sees spiders and worms and ants.
+
+"Yuck, Lily, this is not a cave!" Tom says. "This is a hole! It is full of bugs!"
+
+But Lily does not care. She likes the bugs. She thinks they are her friends. She covers herself with leaves and sticks. She thinks they are her blanket.
+
+"Shh, Tom, don't be loud!" Lily says. "The bugs are sleeping!"
+
+Tom does not want to stay in the hole. He wants to go inside the house. He wants to see his mom and dad. He wants to have a snack and a nap. He wants to play with his toys and books.
+
+"Lily, let's go, please!" Tom says. "The rain is starting!"
+
+But Lily does not hear him. She is too busy talking to the bugs. She does not see the rain. She does not feel the water. She is happy in the hole.
+
+Tom gives up. He crawls out of the hole. He runs to the house. He is wet and muddy and sad. He wishes Lily would come with him. He hopes she will be okay. He hopes the rain will stop soon.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big car. The car is shiny and has four doors. A man comes out of the car. He wears a suit and a hat. He looks rich.
+
+"Wow, look at that car!" Tom says. "It is so big and nice. I wish I had a car like that."
+
+"Me too," Lily says. "But we have bikes. Bikes are fun too."
+
+The man walks to the park gate. He has a bag in his hand. He puts the bag on the ground. He opens the gate and goes inside. He does not see Tom and Lily.
+
+"Hey, look at his bag!" Tom says. "Maybe there is something good in it. Let's go and see."
+
+Tom and Lily run to the bag. They are curious. They open the bag. Inside, they see a lot of clothes. The clothes are fancy and colorful. They have buttons and zippers.
+
+"Wow, look at these clothes!" Lily says. "They are so pretty and soft. I wish I had clothes like these."
+
+"Me too," Tom says. "But we have clothes. Clothes are warm and cozy."
+
+They try on some of the clothes. They laugh and have fun. They pretend to be rich. They do not hear the man coming back.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" The man shouts. "Those are my clothes! Get away from them!"
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the clothes. They run to their bikes. They ride away fast.
+
+"Sorry, mister!" Tom says.
+
+"Sorry, mister!" Lily says.
+
+They do not look back. They do not want to see the man. They are happy to have their bikes and their clothes. They are happy to be friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They live in a big city with many cars and people. Lily likes to play with dolls and Ben likes to play with cars. One day, Lily invites Ben to her house.
+
+"Ben, do you want to come to my house and play with dolls?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, Lily, I like dolls. Can I bring my cars too?" Ben says.
+
+"Sure, Ben, you can bring your cars. We can share and have fun," Lily says.
+
+They walk to Lily's house, holding hands. They cross the street and look both ways. They see a big bus coming fast. The bus is red and loud.
+
+"Look, Lily, a red bus!" Ben says.
+
+He lets go of Lily's hand and runs to the bus. He wants to see it closer. He does not hear Lily scream.
+
+"Ben, no! Stop! The bus will hit you!" Lily cries.
+
+But it is too late. The bus hits Ben and he falls down. He does not move. He does not talk. He does not play.
+
+Lily runs to Ben and hugs him. She cries and cries. She wants Ben to wake up and play with her. She wants Ben to be her friend.
+
+But Ben does not wake up. He is gone. Lily is alone.
+
+The city is not peaceful. The city is sad. Lily is sad.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. But they also liked to fight over their toys. They did not like to share or take turns. One day, their mom made rice for lunch. She told them to come and eat, but they did not listen. They kept fighting over a red car.
+
+"Give me the car, it is mine!" Ben shouted.
+
+"No, it is mine, I saw it first!" Sam yelled.
+
+They pulled and pushed and scratched each other. The car broke in two. They both cried.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and the angry boys. She was very sad and angry too. She said, "Look what you have done! You have ruined your toy and hurt each other. And you have missed your lunch. The rice is cold and hard now. You will have to eat it anyway. And no more toys for you today. Go to your room and think about what you have done."
+
+Ben and Sam felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not fought over the car. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had eaten the rice when it was hot and soft. They learned that fighting is bad and sharing is good. But it was too late. They had to eat the cold and hard rice and stay in their room. They had a bad day.
+Lily and Ben love to play with wheels. They have many wheels of different colors and sizes. They roll them on the floor, on the grass, on the sand. They make sounds like cars and trains and bikes.
+
+One day, they find a big wheel in the park. It is red and shiny and has a handle. They want to try it, but they are not sure how. They ask a man who is sitting on a bench.
+
+"Excuse me, sir, what is this wheel for?" Lily asks.
+
+"That is a wheelbarrow, little girl. You can use it to carry things or to ride in it. Do you want to try?" the man says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben says.
+
+The man helps them to get in the wheelbarrow. He pushes them around the park. They laugh and scream and wave to the other children. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They are very happy.
+
+"Thank you, sir, this is so much fun!" Lily says.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy the wheelbarrow. It is a gift for you. I don't need it anymore. I have a new one at home." the man says.
+
+"Really? Thank you so much, sir! You are very kind!" Ben says.
+
+They hug the man and say goodbye. They take the wheelbarrow to their home. They show it to their mom and dad. They tell them about the man and the park. They play with the wheelbarrow every day. They love their new wheel.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a big bug with many legs and a shiny back. She wanted to make friends with it.
+
+She picked up the bug and said, "Hello, bug. I am Lily. What is your name?" The bug did not answer. It wiggled and tickled her hand. Lily smiled and said, "You are a funny bug. Do you want to meet my cat?"
+
+Lily ran to the house with the bug in her hand. She saw her cat, Max, sleeping on the sofa. She said, "Max, wake up. I have a new friend for you. This is bug. Bug, this is Max. He is a good cat. He is humble and soft."
+
+Max opened his eyes and saw the bug. He did not like the bug. He thought the bug was a snack. He jumped off the sofa and pounced on the bug. He bit the bug and chewed it. The bug made a loud crunch.
+
+Lily screamed and cried. She was sad and angry. She said, "Max, you are a bad cat. You ate my friend. You are not humble. You are greedy and mean." She ran to her room and slammed the door. She did not want to play with Max anymore.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the backyard. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to pour water on each other and laugh.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a big cup of water!" Sara said. "I will soak you!"
+
+Ben ran away, but Sara chased him. She threw the water at him, but he dodged. The water landed on the grass.
+
+"Ha ha, you missed!" Ben said. "Now it's my turn!"
+
+He grabbed a cup of water and ran after Sara. She hid behind a tree, but he found her. He splashed the water on her, and she got wet.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Sara said. "You soaked me!"
+
+They both giggled and ran back to the bucket. They filled their cups again and played some more.
+
+After a while, they got tired and thirsty. They decided to go inside and get a drink. They left the bucket and the cups in the backyard.
+
+They went to the kitchen and opened the freezer. They saw some ice pops. They were colorful and cold.
+
+"Wow, ice pops!" Sara said. "Can we have one?"
+
+"Sure, let's ask Mom," Ben said.
+
+They went to the living room, where Mom was reading a book. They asked her if they could have an ice pops.
+
+"Of course, you can," Mom said. "There are plenty available. But first, you have to dry yourselves. You are all wet!"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They went to the bathroom and got some towels. They dried their hair and clothes. Then they went back to the freezer and picked their favorite ice pops. They thanked Mom and went to the couch. They enjoyed their ice pops and felt happy.
+Lily and Tom are playing with cards. They have to find two cards that match. Lily has a card with a red apple. She looks for another card with a red apple.
+
+"Tom, do you have a card with a red apple?" she asks.
+
+Tom shakes his head. He has a card with a yellow banana. He looks for another card with a yellow banana.
+
+"No, I don't have a card with a red apple. I have a card with a yellow banana," he says.
+
+Lily and Tom keep looking for cards that match. They find some cards that match and put them in a pile. They are happy.
+
+But then, Lily sees a card with a blue car. She likes cars. She wants the card with the blue car.
+
+"Tom, can I have the card with the blue car?" she asks.
+
+Tom frowns. He also likes cars. He also wants the card with the blue car.
+
+"No, you can't have the card with the blue car. I want the card with the blue car," he says.
+
+Lily and Tom start to argue. They both want the card with the blue car. They both pull the card. The card tears in half.
+
+"Oh no! We broke the card!" Lily cries.
+
+Tom cries too. They are sad. They are sorry.
+
+"Mama, we broke the card!" they say.
+
+Mama comes and sees the broken card. She sees the pile of cards that match. She sees Lily and Tom's faces.
+
+"It's okay, my loves. You can fix the card with some tape. You did a good job finding cards that match. You are smart. But next time, you have to share and take turns. Can you do that?" she asks.
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They hug Mama. They hug each other. They say sorry.
+
+"Can we play some more?" they ask.
+
+Mama smiles. She gives them some tape. She helps them fix the card with the blue car.
+
+"Sure, you can play some more. But remember to share and take turns. And have fun!" she says.
+
+Lily and Tom say thank you. They play some more. They find more cards that match. They share and take turns. They have fun. They are fine.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the yard. But today, the yard is very messy. There are leaves and sticks and dirt everywhere.
+
+"Who made this mess?" Sara asks.
+
+"Not me," Ben says.
+
+They look around and see a big hole in the fence. They go to the hole and peek through. They see a big dog on the other side. The dog is digging and running and barking.
+
+"Maybe the dog made the mess," Ben says.
+
+"Maybe," Sara says. "But we have to clean it up. Mom will be mad if she sees the yard like this."
+
+They go back to the house and get a rake and a broom. They start to rake the leaves and sweep the dirt. They work hard and fast. They want to finish before Mom comes home.
+
+But the dog sees them and wants to play. He jumps through the hole and runs to them. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He knocks over the rake and the broom. He rolls in the leaves and the dirt. He makes the yard more messy.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Sara says. "You are not helping!"
+
+"Bad dog!" Ben says. "You are making more work for us!"
+
+But the dog does not listen. He thinks they are playing with him. He barks and runs and jumps. He is having fun.
+
+Sara and Ben are not having fun. They are sad and tired. They do not know what to do.
+
+Then they hear a whistle from the other side of the fence. They see a man walking to the hole. He is holding a leash.
+
+"Rover, come here!" the man says. "You are in the wrong yard!"
+
+The dog hears the man and runs to him. He wags his tail and licks his hand. He is happy to see him.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids," the man says. "Rover escaped from his yard. He likes to dig and explore. He went to the west, where the sun sets. He did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Sara and Ben look at the man and the dog. They are not mad anymore. They understand.
+
+"It's okay, mister," Sara says. "We like dogs. But we have to clean the yard. Mom will be home soon."
+
+"Can we help you?" the man says. "We feel bad for making a mess."
+
+Sara and Ben smile and nod. They give the rake and the broom to the man. They work together to clean the yard. They make it nice and tidy.
+
+They finish just in time. Mom comes home and sees the yard. She is happy and proud.
+
+"What a nice job, Sara and Ben!" Mom says. "You are very good helpers!"
+
+Sara and Ben hug Mom and tell her about the dog and the man. Mom thanks the man and pets the dog. She says they can come and visit anytime.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They made a new friend. They learned a new word. They say goodbye to the man and the dog.
+
+"Bye, Rover!" Sara says. "You are a good dog!"
+
+"Bye, mister!" Ben says. "You are a nice man!"
+
+They wave and smile. They go inside the house. They have a snack and a nap. They dream of the west, where the sun sets.
+Anna and Ben were playing soccer in the park. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. They were on the same team and they wore red shirts.
+
+"Look, there is a big pitch over there!" Ben said, pointing to a green field. "Let's go and play there. It looks fancy and fun."
+
+Anna nodded and followed Ben. They ran across the grass and saw some big kids playing soccer on the pitch. They had blue shirts and looked strong and fast.
+
+"Can we play with you?" Ben asked the big kids.
+
+The big kids laughed and said no. They said that Anna and Ben were too small and slow. They said that they would take their ball and score many goals.
+
+Anna and Ben felt sad and scared. They did not want to lose their ball or their game. They started to worry.
+
+"What should we do?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's go back to our park and play there. We don't need a fancy pitch to have fun. We have each other and our ball. And we are not small and slow. We are smart and brave." Ben said.
+
+Anna smiled and agreed. They took their ball and ran back to their park. They played soccer and had fun. They did not worry about the big kids anymore. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben are staff at a big zoo. They work with many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They like their work, but sometimes they are very tired. They work long hours, from morning to night, and they have little time to play or rest.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben have a big problem. The monkeys escape from their cage and run around the zoo. They make a lot of noise and mess. Sara and Ben have to catch them and put them back. They run and chase the monkeys, but the monkeys are fast and smart. They hide and jump and throw things.
+
+Sara and Ben are angry and frustrated. They shout at the monkeys and at each other. They forget to be kind and patient. They say mean things like "You are slow!" and "You are silly!" They hurt each other's feelings.
+
+The monkeys see this and feel sorry for Sara and Ben. They remember that Sara and Ben are usually nice and helpful. They feed them, clean them, and play with them. They decide to help Sara and Ben. They stop running and hiding. They come to Sara and Ben and give them hugs and bananas. They show them the way to their cage.
+
+Sara and Ben are surprised and happy. They thank the monkeys and apologize to each other. They realize that they were too stressed and rude. They learn to work together and respect each other. They also learn to take breaks and have fun. They finish their work and go home. They promise to be better staff and friends.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky.
+
+"Let's go up there!" Tom said. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK!" Mia said. "But be careful. The tree is very high."
+
+They ran to the tree and started to climb. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the branches. They went higher and higher. They felt happy and brave.
+
+But they did not see the dark clouds in the sky. They did not hear the thunder and the wind. They did not notice the rain that started to fall. They were too busy climbing.
+
+Soon, the rain became heavy and the wind became strong. The tree began to shake and sway. The branches became wet and slippery. Tom and Mia became scared and cold.
+
+"Help!" Tom shouted. "We need to go down!"
+
+"Where?" Mia cried. "There is no shelter!"
+
+They looked around and saw no place to hide. They saw no people or animals. They saw no house or car. They saw only the tree and the storm.
+
+They tried to go down, but it was too hard. They slipped and fell. They hurt their arms and legs. They cried and screamed.
+
+The storm did not stop. The tree did not help. Tom and Mia were alone and in pain. They wished they had not climbed the tree. They wished they had listened to their mom, who had told them to stay inside. They wished they had not made her angry.
+Tom was a brown bee who liked to glow. He had a light in his tail that he could turn on and off. He liked to show off his light to the other bees and make them say wow. He thought he was the best bee in the hive.
+
+One day, he saw a big flower with a lot of nectar. He flew to the flower and turned on his light. He wanted to get all the nectar for himself and make the other bees jealous. He did not see the spider who was hiding in the flower. The spider saw Tom's light and thought he was a tasty snack.
+
+"Hello, little bee," the spider said. "You have a very pretty light. Can I see it closer?"
+
+Tom was happy that the spider liked his light. He did not know that the spider was bad. He flew closer to the spider and said, "Thank you, Mr. Spider. I am the best bee in the hive. Do you want to see my light more?"
+
+"Yes, yes, I do," the spider said. He reached out his legs and grabbed Tom. He wrapped him in his web and said, "Now I will eat you, little bee. You are not the best bee in the hive. You are the silliest bee in the hive. You should not be so proud and greedy. You should share with the other bees and be careful of strangers."
+
+Tom was scared and sad. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. They had told him to be humble and kind and to watch out for danger. He realized that his light was not a gift, but a curse. He turned off his light and hoped that the other bees would find him and save him.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be too proud and greedy, or you might end up in trouble. Share with others and be careful of strangers.
+Jenny and Sam were helping Mom put ornaments on the tree. They liked the shiny balls and the stars and the bells. Mom said they could count the ornaments when they were done.
+
+"Look, I have a red ball!" Sam said. He tried to hang it on a high branch, but he was too short. He jumped and stretched, but he could not reach.
+
+"Let me help you," Jenny said. She was older and taller than Sam. She took the red ball from him and put it on the branch. "There, now it is on the tree."
+
+"Thank you, Jenny," Sam said. He looked for another ornament. He found a silver star. He wanted to hang it on the top of the tree, but it was too high. He climbed on a chair, but he was still too short. He jumped and stretched, but he could not reach.
+
+"Be careful, Sam," Mom said. She saw him on the chair. "The chair is weak. It might break. Come down, please."
+
+"But I want to put the star on the top," Sam said. He was sad. He liked the star.
+
+"I have an idea," Jenny said. She took the star from Sam and gave him a hug. "You can count the ornaments with me. That is fun, too."
+
+"Okay," Sam said. He came down from the chair. He and Jenny counted the ornaments on the tree. They counted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. They were happy. They liked to count.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. Sometimes they jog with their dogs. They have fun and laugh.
+
+One day, they see a big pile of magazines on a bench. They are curious. They go to look at them. The magazines have many pictures and words. Some pictures are of people and animals. Some pictures are of cars and houses. Some pictures are of food and toys.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. She points to a picture of a cake. The cake is pink and has many candles. "This cake is so pretty. I want to eat it."
+
+"Me too," Sam says. He points to a picture of a train. The train is blue and has many windows. "This train is so cool. I want to ride it."
+
+They flip through the magazines. They see many things they like. They wish they could have them. They forget about their dogs.
+
+But their dogs do not forget about them. Their dogs are bored. They want to play. They do not like the magazines. They think the magazines are ordinary and dull. They decide to have some fun.
+
+They jump on the magazines. They tear them with their teeth. They make a big mess. They bark and wag their tails.
+
+Lily and Sam hear the noise. They turn around. They see their dogs and the magazines. They are shocked.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Lily says. She runs to her dog. She tries to take the magazine from its mouth.
+
+"No, bad dog!" Sam says. He runs to his dog. He tries to pull the magazine from its paws.
+
+But their dogs do not listen. They keep playing with the magazines. They make more mess. They do not care.
+
+Lily and Sam are sad. They like the magazines. They do not like the mess. They do not know what to do. They look at each other. They sigh.
+Lily likes to read books. She has many books in her room. She reads them every day. She likes to learn new things from books.
+
+One day, she goes to the park with her mom. She brings a book with her. She wants to read it on the bench. She sees a boy playing with a ball. He looks at her book. He is nosy.
+
+He comes to her and says, "What is that?"
+
+Lily says, "It is a book. I like books."
+
+The boy says, "Can I see it?"
+
+Lily says, "No, it is mine. You have a ball. You can play with your ball."
+
+The boy says, "But I want to see your book. What is it about?"
+
+Lily says, "It is about animals. There are pictures and words. It is fun."
+
+The boy says, "I like animals too. Can we share your book?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes to read books, but she also likes to make friends. She says, "OK, we can share my book. But you have to be careful. Do not rip it or spill juice on it."
+
+The boy says, "OK, I will be careful. Thank you."
+
+They sit on the bench and look at the book together. They see lions and tigers and bears. They learn their names and sounds. They have fun.
+
+Lily and the boy meet at the park. They share a book. They become friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they did not like to put them away. They liked to throw them on the floor, on the bed, and on the chair. They did not care if their room was messy.
+
+One day, their mom told them to clean their room. She said, "Lily and Tom, you have too many toys. You need to load some of them in this box and give them to other kids who have no toys. Then you need to put the rest of your toys in the closet. If you do not do this, I will take away all your toys."
+
+Lily and Tom did not listen to their mom. They thought she was foolish. They said, "We love all our toys. We do not want to give them away. We do not want to put them in the closet. We want to play with them all the time."
+
+They hid the box under the bed and kept playing with their toys. They did not clean their room. They did not load any toys in the box. They did not put any toys in the closet.
+
+The next day, their mom came to check their room. She saw the mess and the box under the bed. She was very angry. She said, "Lily and Tom, you did not do what I told you. You were foolish and selfish. Now you have to face the consequences. I will take away all your toys and give them to other kids who have no toys. You will have no toys to play with until you learn to share and to be tidy."
+
+Lily and Tom cried and begged their mom to forgive them. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were foolish and selfish. We did not listen to you. Please do not take away our toys. We will load some of them in the box and give them to other kids who have no toys. We will put the rest of our toys in the closet. We will clean our room. Please give us another chance."
+
+Their mom saw that they were sorry and gave them another chance. She said, "Okay, I will give you another chance. But you have to do what I told you. You have to load some of your toys in the box and give them to other kids who have no toys. You have to put the rest of your toys in the closet. You have to clean your room. And you have to promise me that you will not be foolish and selfish again."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and said, "We promise, mom. We will not be foolish and selfish again. We will share and be tidy. Thank you for giving us another chance."
+
+They did what their mom told them. They loaded some of their toys in the box and gave them to other kids who had no toys. They put the rest of their toys in the closet. They cleaned their room. They learned their lesson. They were happy and grateful.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to draw with pencils on the ground. Ben had a blue pencil and Lily had a brown pencil. They drew flowers, trees, and animals.
+
+"Look, I drew a big bear!" Lily said, showing Ben her drawing.
+
+"Wow, that's good!" Ben said. "I drew a lion. He is the king of the jungle."
+
+They were having fun, until they saw a man coming. He was wearing a green hat and a green coat. He had a big stick in his hand. He looked angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! What are you doing here? This is my park!" the man shouted. "You are making a mess with your pencils. Go away, or I will make you go away!"
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They grabbed their pencils and ran. But the man was faster. He caught up with them and snatched their pencils. He broke them in half and threw them away.
+
+"Ha! That will teach you a lesson!" the man said. "Now, march! March out of my park and don't come back!"
+
+Ben and Lily marched away, crying. They had lost their pencils and their drawings. They felt very sad and angry. They wished they had a big bear or a lion to help them. But they had nothing. They had no friends in the park.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Tom said, showing his creation to his sister. "It is taller than me!"
+
+"That is a big tower, Tom!" Lily said, admiring his work. "Can I help you make it bigger?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can help me. But be careful, we don't want to destroy it by accident." Tom said, handing her some blocks.
+
+They worked together to add more blocks to the tower, making it higher and higher. They were having fun and did not notice that their dog, Spot, was watching them from the couch.
+
+Spot was a curious and playful dog. He liked to chase and catch things that moved. He saw the tower of blocks and thought it was a toy for him. He jumped off the couch and ran towards the tower, barking loudly.
+
+"Spot, no!" Tom and Lily shouted, as they saw the dog coming. "Stop, Spot, stop!"
+
+But it was too late. Spot reached the tower and knocked it over with his paw. The blocks fell down and scattered all over the floor. The tower was destroyed. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They loved their tower and worked hard to make it.
+
+"Bad dog, Spot! Bad dog!" Tom and Lily scolded the dog, who looked confused and guilty. "You destroyed our tower! Go away, Spot, go away!"
+
+Spot whimpered and ran away to his bed. He did not understand why his humans were mad at him. He just wanted to play with them.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the mess on the floor. They felt like crying. They had lost their sight of their big tower. They did not want to play with the blocks anymore. They hugged each other and decided to do something else. Maybe they would try to build another tower later, when Spot was asleep.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with pens and paper. They made drawings and letters and shapes. One day, they found a big sack in the park. It was full of pens of many colors.
+
+"Wow, look at all these pens!" Lily said. "Let's take them home and play with them."
+
+"OK, but we have to be calm and quiet," Ben said. "Maybe someone is looking for the sack."
+
+They picked up the sack and carried it to Lily's house. They went to her room and opened the sack. They took out the pens and started to draw on the paper.
+
+They had fun with the pens. They made rainbows and flowers and animals. They forgot to be calm and quiet. They laughed and shouted and sang.
+
+Lily's mom heard the noise. She came to Lily's room and saw the mess. She saw the sack and the pens and the paper. She was angry.
+
+"Where did you get these pens?" she asked. "Did you take them from someone?"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to say. They looked at each other and then at the floor.
+
+Lily's mom knew they did something bad. She took the sack and the pens and the paper. She said they had to give them back. She said they had to say sorry. She said they could not play together for a week.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They cried and hugged. They said they were sorry. They said they did not mean to do something bad. They said they just wanted to play.
+
+But Lily's mom did not listen. She took them to the park and looked for the owner of the sack. She found a man who was looking for his pens. He was a teacher who used them for his class. He was happy to see his pens. He thanked Lily's mom and took the sack.
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They did not have the pens anymore. They did not have the paper anymore. They did not have the fun anymore. They did not have each other anymore. They had a bad ending.
+Lily and Ben were excited to go to the park with their mom. They loved to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Mom pushed their cart with snacks and water along the sidewalk.
+
+"Look, mom, a dog!" Lily shouted, pointing to a big brown dog with a red collar. The dog was wagging its tail and licking a man's face.
+
+"That's a nice dog," mom said. "Do you want to pet him?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben said. He loved animals. He was very compassionate. He always shared his food and toys with them.
+
+Mom asked the man if they could pet his dog. The man smiled and said yes. His name was Sam and his dog's name was Rex. He said Rex was friendly and gentle.
+
+Lily and Ben took turns stroking Rex's fur and scratching his ears. Rex licked their hands and nuzzled their cheeks. They giggled and hugged him.
+
+"Thank you for letting us pet your dog," Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome," Sam said. "You're very kind and polite."
+
+"Can we play with Rex some more?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Sam said. "Let's go to the grass and throw a ball for him."
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the cart and grabbed a ball. They followed Sam and Rex to the grass. They threw the ball and Rex chased it. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Mom watched them with a smile. She was happy to see them make a new friend. She thought Rex was a good dog and Sam was a nice man. She was proud of her compassionate and excited children.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But they also made a big mess. There were toys everywhere, and some of them were dirty.
+
+"Look, Tom, this car is brown!" Lily said, holding a toy car that was covered in mud.
+
+"Where did you find it?" Tom asked.
+
+"I found it in the yard. It was under a pile of leaves. Do you want to play with it?" Lily offered.
+
+"No, thank you. It is too dirty. We should clean it first," Tom said.
+
+"How do we clean it?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Let's ask Mom. She knows how to clean things," Tom suggested.
+
+They ran to the kitchen, where Mom was doing the dishes. They showed her the brown car.
+
+"Mom, can you help us clean this car?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, I can help you. But you have to help me too," Mom said.
+
+"What do we have to do?" Lily asked.
+
+"You have to load the dishwasher with the plates and cups. And you have to put some soap in the dispenser. Then I will show you how to wash the car," Mom explained.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They helped Mom load the dishwasher. They put the plates and cups in the right places. They found the soap and put some in the dispenser. They closed the door and pressed the button.
+
+"Good job, kids. Now let's go to the bathroom and wash the car," Mom said.
+
+They followed Mom to the bathroom. She filled the sink with warm water and added some soap. She gave them a sponge and a towel.
+
+"First, you have to wet the car with the sponge. Then you have to scrub it gently with the soap. Then you have to rinse it with clean water. And finally, you have to dry it with the towel," Mom instructed.
+
+Lily and Tom did as Mom said. They wet the car, scrubbed it, rinsed it, and dried it. They were amazed to see how shiny and colorful the car was.
+
+"Wow, it looks like a new car!" Lily exclaimed.
+
+"It does! It is not brown anymore. It is red and blue and yellow!" Tom said.
+
+"See, kids, cleaning is fun and rewarding. You can make things look nice and new. And you can also help me with the chores. I appreciate your help very much," Mom said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. We are sorry for making a mess. We will clean up our toys after we play with them," Lily and Tom said.
+
+They hugged Mom and thanked her for helping them. They took the car to the living room and played with it happily. They learned that cleaning is not hard or boring, but easy and fun. And they also learned to be responsible and helpful.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big box full of dolls, cars, blocks and animals. One day, she found a new toy in the box. It was a mouse.
+
+"Hello, mouse!" Lily said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The mouse did not answer. It was not a real mouse, but a toy mouse. It had a soft fur, a long tail and a button nose. Lily picked it up and hugged it.
+
+"You are so cute, mouse!" Lily said. "Let's try to find you a home."
+
+Lily looked around the room. She saw a dollhouse, a car garage, a castle and a basket. She decided to try the dollhouse first.
+
+"Maybe you can fit in the dollhouse, mouse," Lily said. "Let's see."
+
+She carried the mouse to the dollhouse and opened the door. She tried to put the mouse inside, but it was too big. The mouse got stuck in the door.
+
+"Oh, no, mouse!" Lily said. "You don't fit in the dollhouse. You are too big. I'm sorry."
+
+She pulled the mouse out of the door and gave it a kiss. She looked for another place to try. She saw the car garage.
+
+"Maybe you can fit in the car garage, mouse," Lily said. "Let's see."
+
+She carried the mouse to the car garage and opened the gate. She tried to put the mouse inside, but it was too small. The mouse fell through the gate.
+
+"Oh, no, mouse!" Lily said. "You don't fit in the car garage. You are too small. I'm sorry."
+
+She picked up the mouse and gave it a hug. She looked for another place to try. She saw the castle.
+
+"Maybe you can fit in the castle, mouse," Lily said. "Let's see."
+
+She carried the mouse to the castle and opened the drawbridge. She tried to put the mouse inside, but it was too scary. The mouse saw a dragon, a knight and a princess. The mouse squeaked and ran away.
+
+"Oh, no, mouse!" Lily said. "You don't fit in the castle. You are too scared. I'm sorry."
+
+She chased the mouse and caught it. She gave it a cuddle. She looked for another place to try. She saw the basket.
+
+"Maybe you can fit in the basket, mouse," Lily said. "Let's see."
+
+She carried the mouse to the basket and put it inside. The basket was cozy, warm and soft. The mouse snuggled in the basket and closed its eyes.
+
+"Ah, mouse!" Lily said. "You fit in the basket. You are just right. I'm happy."
+
+She smiled and kissed the mouse. She put the basket next to her bed and said goodnight.
+
+"Goodnight, mouse," Lily said. "You are my new friend. I love you."
+
+The mouse opened one eye and smiled. It was happy, too.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. They cannot go out. They are sad.
+
+"Mom, can we go out?" Ben asks. "It is raining too much. You will get wet and cold," Mom says. "But we are bored," Mia says.
+
+Mom thinks. She has an idea. She gives Ben and Mia some paper and crayons. "You can draw something. What do you want to draw?" she asks.
+
+Ben and Mia think. They look out the window. They see a rainbow. It is bright and colorful. They like the rainbow.
+
+"We want to draw the rainbow," they say. They take the crayons and start to draw. They use red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They make big curves on the paper.
+
+Mom smiles. She is happy. She helps them to cut out the rainbow. She tapes it on the window. "Now you have your own rainbow," she says.
+
+Ben and Mia are happy. They look at their rainbow. They see the rain. It is rough and noisy. But they do not mind. They have their rainbow. They hug Mom. "Thank you, Mom," they say. "You are welcome, my loves," Mom says.
+Bunny was a black rabbit who liked to hop around the park. He had many friends, like Squirrel, Bird and Mouse. They played games and shared food every day. But there was one thing that Bunny was afraid of: the police. The police were big dogs who wore hats and badges. They chased away any animals who made trouble in the park.
+
+One day, Bunny and his friends were playing hide and seek. Bunny found a good spot behind a bush. He was very quiet and still. He hoped no one would find him. But then he heard a loud bark. He peeked out and saw a police dog running towards him. He was very scared. He wanted to hop away, but he was trapped.
+
+"Hey, you!" the police dog shouted. "What are you doing here? This is my territory!"
+
+Bunny trembled. He did not know what to say. He wished his friends would help him.
+
+"Please, don't hurt me," he whispered. "I'm just playing with my friends."
+
+The police dog snarled. He was about to bite Bunny, when he heard a whistle. He looked up and saw a man. The man was the police dog's owner. He wore a hat and a badge too.
+
+"Rex, come here!" the man called. "Leave that rabbit alone. We have to go. There's a robbery in the town."
+
+The police dog obeyed. He ran to the man, leaving Bunny behind. Bunny was relieved. He hopped out of the bush and looked for his friends. He found them hiding in a tree. They were happy to see him.
+
+"Bunny, are you okay?" Squirrel asked. "We saw the police dog chasing you. We were so worried."
+
+Bunny nodded. He hugged his friends. He was glad they cared for him.
+
+"I'm okay," he said. "The police dog had to go. He had a job to do."
+
+"What job?" Bird asked.
+
+"He had to catch a bad guy," Bunny said. "A bad guy who stole something."
+
+"What did he steal?" Mouse asked.
+
+Bunny thought for a moment. He remembered something he saw in the man's hand. It was shiny and round. It looked like a big coin.
+
+"I think he stole a medal," Bunny said. "A black medal."
+Sara was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She had a bike that she loved to ride in the field near her house. She liked to feel the wind in her hair and the sun on her face.
+
+One day, as she was riding her bike, she heard a loud pop. She looked down and saw that her tire was flat. She was sad and scared. She did not know how to fix her bike. She did not have a phone to call her mom. She did not see anyone in the field. She felt alone and helpless.
+
+She started to cry. She wished she had someone to help her. She wished she was not so independent. She wished she had listened to her mom when she told her to always bring a friend when she went to the field.
+
+Then, she heard a voice. "Hey, are you okay?" It was Ben, her neighbor. He was also riding his bike in the field. He saw Sara crying and stopped to see what was wrong. He was a nice boy who liked to help others.
+
+He looked at Sara's bike and said, "Don't worry, I can fix it. I have a patch kit in my backpack. I always bring it when I ride my bike. You never know when you might need it."
+
+He took out his patch kit and fixed Sara's tire. He pumped it up and tested it. It was good as new. He smiled and said, "There, all done. You can ride your bike again."
+
+Sara was happy and grateful. She thanked Ben and said, "You are very kind and smart. You saved me. I'm sorry I was so independent. I should have brought a friend with me. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Sure, I'd love to be your friend. You are brave and fun. You have a nice bike. Do you want to ride with me?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Let's ride together. It's more fun that way."
+

+Tim and Sue were playing near the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They did not see the big crocodile hiding under the water. It was fierce and hungry.
+
+The crocodile saw the children and wanted to eat them. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It made a loud noise and came out of the water. Tim and Sue were very scared. They ran away from the river.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "There is a crocodile!"
+
+Their dad heard them and came running. He saw the crocodile and picked up a stick. He hit the crocodile on the head and made it go away. He hugged Tim and Sue and took them to the house.
+
+"It's okay, it's okay," he said. "You are safe now. The crocodile is gone."
+
+Tim and Sue were still scared. They cried and hugged their dad. He gave them some cookies and milk and told them a story. He said they should never play near the river again. He said the river was dangerous and had many crocodiles.
+
+Tim and Sue nodded and said they were sorry. They said they would listen to their dad and stay away from the river. They said they did not like crocodiles. They liked cookies and milk and stories. They smiled and hugged their dad again. He smiled and hugged them back. He said he loved them very much.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to Ben's house. Ben has a big television. Anna has never seen a television before.
+
+"What is that?" Anna asks, pointing to the television.
+
+"That is a television. It shows pictures and sounds. Do you want to watch?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Anna says. She is curious.
+
+Ben turns on the television. He finds a channel with cartoons. Anna and Ben sit on the sofa. They watch the cartoons. They laugh and clap.
+
+The cartoons are about a dog and a cat. The dog is big and brown. The cat is small and black. The dog and the cat do not like each other. They chase and fight. The dog has a thick collar. The cat has a thick tail.
+
+"Look, the dog and the cat are funny!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, they are!" Anna says. "But they are not nice. They should be friends."
+
+"Maybe they will meet a nice mouse. Then they will be friends." Ben says.
+
+"Or maybe they will meet a big bird. Then they will be scared." Anna says.
+
+They keep watching the television. They wonder what will happen next. They are happy. They have met a new thing. They have met a television.
+Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower on the board. Anna puts a red block on the board. Ben puts a blue block on the board. They take turns and make the tower taller and taller.
+
+"Look, our tower is so high!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says.
+
+They want to put one more block on the top. But the tower is too high. They cannot reach it.
+
+"I can reach it!" Anna says. She stands on her toes and stretches her arms. She tries to put a yellow block on the top. But she pushes the tower too hard. The tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben says. "You broke our tower!"
+
+"I'm sorry!" Anna says. She feels sad. She did not mean to break the tower.
+
+Ben is angry. He does not want to play with Anna anymore. He grabs the board and holds it tight. He does not want to share it with Anna.
+
+"Give me the board!" Anna says. She tries to pull the board from Ben. But Ben is stronger. He does not let go of the board.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He pushes Anna away. Anna falls on the floor. She cries.
+
+"Stop!" a voice says. It is Mom. She heard the noise and came to see what happened. She sees the blocks, the board, and the children. She is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at Mom. They feel ashamed. They know they did something wrong. They do not say anything.
+
+Mom sighs. She picks up Anna and hugs her. She wipes her tears. She puts her down and picks up Ben. She hugs him too. She puts him down and takes the board.
+
+"Listen, Anna and Ben," Mom says. "You are brother and sister. You should play nicely and share. The board and the blocks are for both of you. You can make a tower together, or you can make something else. But you cannot fight and hurt each other. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They are sorry.
+
+"Can we say sorry to each other?" Mom asks.
+

+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big cave in the hill. They want to go inside and explore.
+
+"Come on, Sam, let's go to the cave!" Tom says.
+
+"No, Tom, we can't. Mom said to stay away from the cave. It is dark and scary. There might be bad things inside. Mom will punish us if we go," Sam says.
+
+"Mom won't know. Don't be stupid, Sam. It will be fun. I want to see what is in the cave. Maybe we will find treasure or animals or something cool. Come on, Sam, don't be a baby," Tom says.
+
+Tom runs to the cave. Sam is afraid, but he follows Tom. He does not want to be alone. They go inside the cave. It is very dark. They can't see anything. They hear strange noises. They feel cold and wet.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this. Let's go back. This is not fun. This is scary," Sam says.
+
+"Shh, Sam, don't be loud. Maybe there is something here. Let's go deeper. Maybe we will find a light or a way out," Tom says.
+
+They walk deeper into the cave. They get lost. They can't find the way back. They start to cry. They are hungry and thirsty and tired. They wish they listened to Mom. They are sorry they were stupid. They hope Mom will find them and not punish them. They hug each other and wait.

+Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big bike with a lock on it. They wanted to try the bike, but they did not have the key.
+
+"Maybe we can break the lock," Ben said. He picked up a stick and hit the lock. It did not break. He hit it again and again. Mia watched him and felt scared. She saw a man coming. He looked angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my bike?" the man shouted. He ran towards Ben and Mia. He was big and loud. Ben and Mia were frightened. They dropped the stick and ran away. They did not look back.
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw their faces and hugged them. "What happened?" she asked. Ben and Mia told her about the bike and the man. She was not happy. She said they should not touch things that did not belong to them. She said they could get hurt or in trouble.
+

+Anna liked to record her voice with her toy microphone. She sang songs, told jokes, and made funny noises. She wanted to show her mom and dad how amazing she was.
+
+But one day, her brother Tom took her microphone and hid it under his bed. He did not like Anna's loud voice. He wanted silence in the house.
+
+"Give me back my microphone!" Anna cried. She ran to Tom's room and looked for her toy.
+
+"No, it's mine now!" Tom said. He pushed Anna away and closed the door.
+
+Anna was very sad and angry. She knocked on the door and shouted, "That's not fair! You are a mean brother!"
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna crying and Tom hiding.
+
+"What's going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Tom took my microphone and won't give it back!" Anna said.
+
+"Tom, why did you do that?" Mom asked.
+
+"Anna is too loud! She always records her voice and it hurts my ears!" Tom said.
+
+Mom sighed. She knew they both loved their toys, but they had to learn to share and respect each other.
+
+"Anna, I know you like to record your voice, but you have to be careful not to disturb Tom when he is reading or resting. Maybe you can record your voice in another room or when Tom is not home," Mom said.
+
+"Tom, I know you like silence, but you have to be kind to Anna and not take her toys. Maybe you can wear headphones or ask Anna to lower her volume when you need quiet," Mom said.
+
+Mom opened the door and took the microphone from under Tom's bed. She gave it back to Anna and hugged her.
+
+"Anna, you have an amazing voice and I'm proud of you. But you have to be a good sister and share with Tom," Mom said.
+
+"Tom, you are a smart boy and I love you. But you have to be a good brother and apologize to Anna," Mom said.
+
+Tom looked at Anna and felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong to take your microphone. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "I'm sorry, too, Tom. I was too loud and I didn't listen to you. Can we play together?"
+
+They hugged and said, "We love you, Mom!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you, too, my sweet children. Now, why don't you record a song together and show me how amazing you are?"
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to follow their mom and dad everywhere. Mom and dad were wealthy and had many luggage. They often went to big houses and hotels and planes. Lily and Tom liked to see new things and play with new toys.
+
+One day, mom and dad said they were going to a far place and they had to pack many luggage. Lily and Tom wanted to go too, but mom and dad said no. They said they had to stay with grandma and grandpa for a while. Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They did not like grandma and grandpa. They were old and boring and strict.
+
+Lily and Tom had a plan. They decided to hide in one of the luggage and follow mom and dad to the far place. They waited until mom and dad were busy and then they crawled into a big luggage. They zipped it up and hoped no one would notice.
+
+But they did not know that the luggage they chose was not going to the far place with mom and dad. It was going to a different place with someone else. It was a mistake. Lily and Tom did not know that until it was too late. They were stuck in the luggage and they could not get out. They were scared and hungry and thirsty and cold. They cried and yelled, but no one heard them.
+
+The luggage went on a long trip. It went on a truck and a boat and another truck. It went to a place where there were no big houses or hotels or planes. There were only small huts and dirt and bugs. The luggage was sold to a man who was not wealthy. He was poor and mean and greedy. He opened the luggage and saw Lily and Tom. He was not happy. He was angry. He did not want two children. He wanted money or clothes or jewels. He grabbed Lily and Tom and threw them out of the luggage. He shouted at them and hit them and kicked them. He told them to go away and never come back.
+
+Lily and Tom ran away. They were hurt and scared and lost. They did not know where they were or how to get back. They did not know where mom and dad were or if they would ever see them again. They had no food or water or clothes or toys. They had nothing. They followed each other and hoped to find help. But they did not find help. They only found more trouble. The end.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big slide in the park. Tom likes to slide down fast. Mia likes to slide down slow.
+
+One day, Tom has a new idea. He says to Mia, "Let's climb up the slide. It will be fun." Mia looks at the slide. It is very high. She feels worry in her tummy. She says to Tom, "No, thank you. I like to climb up the stairs. The slide is too high for me."
+
+Tom says, "Don't be worry. It is easy. Just hold on to the board. The board is strong. It will not break. Come on, Mia. It will be fun." He starts to climb up the slide. He holds on to the board. The board is on the side of the slide. It helps Tom to climb.
+
+Mia watches Tom. She still feels worry. She says, "Tom, be careful. The slide is slippery. You might fall." Tom says, "Don't be worry, Mia. I am almost at the top. Look, I can see the whole park. It is beautiful." He smiles at Mia.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The board breaks. Tom loses his grip. He slides down fast. He screams. Mia screams. Tom hits the ground. He hurts his arm. He cries. Mia runs to him. She hugs him. She says, "Tom, I am sorry. Are you okay?" Tom says, "No, I am not okay. My arm hurts. I was silly. I should have listened to you. You were right. The slide was too high for me." Mia says, "It's okay, Tom. I am your friend. I will help you. Let's go to the nurse. She will make your arm better." Tom says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. I am sorry I made you worry." Mia says, "It's okay, Tom. I am glad you are safe. Next time, let's play something else. Something not so high." Tom says, "Okay, Mia. That sounds good." They hold hands and walk to the nurse.
+Tom is a humble cat. He does not like to show off or be mean to other animals. He likes to share his food and toys with his friends. He thinks that being kind is better than being strong or fast.
+
+One day, Tom meets a new cat in the park. The new cat is very big and loud. He has a shiny collar and a long tail. He says to Tom, "Hello, little cat. What is your name?"
+
+Tom says, "My name is Tom. What is your name?"
+
+The new cat says, "My name is Rex. I am the best cat in the park. I can run faster than anyone. I can jump higher than anyone. I can catch more mice than anyone. No one can beat me."
+
+Tom thinks that Rex is not very humble. He thinks that Rex is rude and boastful. He does not want to play with Rex. He says, "That is nice, Rex. But I do not care about those things. I like to play with my friends and have fun. Do you want to join us?"
+
+Rex says, "No, thank you. I do not need friends. I only need myself. I am too good for you and your friends. You are all weak and boring. Goodbye, little cat."
+
+Rex runs away, leaving Tom and his friends alone. Tom thinks that Rex is lonely and sad. He thinks that Rex does not know how to be happy. He feels sorry for Rex. He says to his friends, "Let us go and play. Maybe one day, Rex will learn to be humble and make some friends."
+Lily liked to play with her cubes. She had many cubes of different colors and sizes. She could stack them, line them, or make shapes with them. She had a big cube that was red and shiny. It was her favorite cube.
+
+One day, Lily saw that her red cube was bigger than before. She was surprised and happy. She picked it up and hugged it. "You are my best cube," she said. "You are growing so big and strong."
+
+But the next day, Lily saw that her red cube was even bigger. It was bigger than her head. It was too heavy to lift. It also smelled bad. Lily did not like the smell. She wrinkled her nose and said, "You are my best cube, but why do you smell so bad?"
+
+The day after that, Lily saw that her red cube was huge. It was bigger than her bed. It filled her room. It smelled worse than ever. Lily was scared and sad. She could not play with her other cubes. She could not move in her room. She cried and said, "You are my best cube, but you are too big and smelly. Please stop growing!"
+
+But the red cube did not stop growing. It grew and grew and grew. It broke the walls and the roof. It pushed Lily out of her house. It covered the street and the trees and the sky. It smelled like rotten eggs and garbage. Lily ran away from the red cube. She did not want to see it or smell it ever again. She wished she had never played with it. She wished she had a new cube. A small cube. A nice cube. A cube that did not grow.
+Sam liked to ride his bicycle. He had a red bicycle with a bell and a basket. He rode it every day to the park with his mom and dad. He felt happy and fast on his bicycle.
+
+One day, he saw some birds on the grass. They were black and white and had yellow beaks. They were eating some bread that someone had left for them. Sam wanted to see them closer. He rode his bicycle to the birds and rang his bell.
+
+The birds were scared of the bell. They flew away very quickly. They made a loud noise with their wings. They scattered in the sky. Sam was surprised and sad. He did not want to scare the birds. He wanted to be their friend.
+
+His mom and dad came to him. They saw what had happened. They told him that the birds were smart. They knew how to find food and stay safe. They did not like loud noises or strangers. They told him that he should be gentle and quiet if he wanted to watch the birds.
+
+Sam understood. He said he was sorry. He asked his mom and dad if they could come back another day and bring some bread for the birds. They said yes. They hugged him and smiled. They were proud of him. He was a smart boy. He learned from his mistake. He loved his bicycle and the birds.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures, and share snacks. One day, they found a shiny lock on a fence. They wondered what was behind the fence.
+
+"Let's open it!" said Ben. He tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard.
+
+"Maybe we need a key," said Lily. She looked around and saw a small key on the ground. She picked it up and put it in the lock. It fit!
+
+"Wow, amazing!" said Ben. He turned the key and the lock opened. They pushed the fence and saw a big garden with flowers, trees, and a pond.
+
+"Come on, let's explore!" said Lily. She ran into the garden, followed by Ben. They smelled the flowers, climbed the trees, and threw stones in the pond. They had so much fun.
+
+But they did not see the sign that said "Keep Out". They did not hear the angry voice that said "Hey, you kids, get out of my garden!" They did not see the big dog that came running towards them.
+
+"Ruff, ruff, ruff!" The dog barked and chased them. Lily and Ben were scared. They ran back to the fence, but the lock was closed. They had left the key in the garden.
+
+"Help, help!" they cried. They tried to climb the fence, but it was too high. They tried to call for help, but no one heard them.
+
+They regretted opening the lock. They regretted going into the garden. They wished they had listened to the sign. They wished they had stayed in the park.
+
+The dog came closer and closer. Lily and Ben hugged each other and closed their eyes.
+
+But then, they heard another voice. It was Lily's mom. She had come to pick them up from the park. She saw them behind the fence and heard their cries. She saw the dog and the angry man.
+
+She ran to the fence and shouted "Stop, stop, stop!" She told the man that they were sorry and that they did not mean to cause trouble. She told the dog that they were not bad and that they were afraid. She asked the man to open the lock and let them out.
+
+The man was still angry, but he saw that they were just children. He saw that they were sorry and afraid. He opened the lock and let them out. He told them to never come back to his garden. He told them to respect his property and his privacy.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to Lily's mom and hugged her. They thanked her for saving them. They apologized to the man and the dog. They promised to never open the lock again. They learned their lesson.
+
+Lily's mom took them back to the park. She told them that they were lucky and that they could have been hurt. She told them that they should always be careful and respectful. She told them that curiosity is good, but not when it leads to trouble.
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They felt sorry for what they did. They decided to play in the park, draw pictures, and share snacks. They were still best friends. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a long tail and a wet nose.
+
+Lily is scared of the dog. She runs away and hides behind a tree. Tom is not scared. He likes dogs. He walks to the dog and says hello. The dog wags its tail and licks Tom's hand. Tom smiles and touches the dog's fur. It is soft and warm.
+
+Tom calls Lily. He says, "Lily, come and see the dog. It is nice and calm. It will not hurt you." Lily peeks from behind the tree. She sees Tom and the dog. They look happy. Lily is curious. She wants to touch the dog too.
+
+Lily comes out from behind the tree. She walks slowly to Tom and the dog. The dog sees Lily and wags its tail again. It sniffs Lily's shoes and pants. Lily is nervous. She holds Tom's hand. Tom says, "Don't worry, Lily. The dog is friendly. You can touch it. Look, it has a point on its ear. Do you see it?"
+
+Lily looks at the dog's ear. She sees a small black spot. It looks like a point. Lily reaches out and touches the point. The dog makes a soft sound. It likes Lily's touch. Lily feels brave. She touches the dog's nose, eyes, and tail. The dog licks Lily's face. Lily giggles and hugs the dog. She says, "I like the dog. It is cute and calm. Can we play with it?"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, we can play with it. Maybe it is lost. We can help it find its home. Come on, let's go." Tom and Lily hold the dog's leash and walk with it. They look for the dog's owner. They are happy and proud. They have made a new friend.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play at the park every day. They loved to go on the slide, the swings, and the seesaw. But today, they saw something new at the park. It was a big, red, shiny slide. It looked very fun, but also very scary.
+
+"Wow, look at that slide!" Anna said. "It is so big and red. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Ben looked at the slide and felt nervous. He had never seen such a big slide before. He did not know how to go on it. He shook his head. "No, thank you. I like the small slide better. It is not so high and fast."
+
+Anna smiled. She understood that Ben was afraid. She was a little afraid too, but she also wanted to try something new. She had an idea. She took Ben's hand and said, "Come on, Ben. I will explain to you how to go on the big slide. It is not so hard. You just have to climb the stairs, sit on the slide, and slide down. It is like the small slide, but bigger and more fun. And I will go with you. We can go together. It will be fun, I promise."
+
+Ben looked at Anna and felt brave. He trusted his best friend. He nodded. "Okay, Anna. I will try it with you. But you have to hold my hand, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Ben. I will hold your hand. Let's go!" Anna said.
+
+They climbed the stairs, holding hands. They sat on the slide, holding hands. They slid down, holding hands. They felt the wind in their hair, the sun on their faces, and the joy in their hearts. They laughed and screamed and smiled. They reached the bottom of the slide, holding hands. They looked at each other and hugged.
+
+"That was so fun!" Anna said.
+
+"That was so fun!" Ben said.
+
+They looked at the big, red, shiny slide and felt proud. They had tried something new and they had liked it. They had helped each other and they had had fun. They were best friends.
+
+A lady who worked at the park saw them and smiled. She thought they were adorable. She walked over to them and said, "Hello, children. You are very brave and very kind. You went on the big slide together and you held each other's hand. That was very nice of you. Do you want a sticker?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They liked stickers. The lady gave them each a sticker with a smiley face on it. They said, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice too."
+
+They put the stickers on their shirts and ran to the swings. They swung high and low, still holding hands. They were happy. They were best friends. They loved to play at the park.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They had a big bucket of water to make the mud wet. They were having fun.
+
+But then it started to rain. The rain was very heavy and fast. The water in the bucket spilled over and made a flood. The flood washed away their mud pies and filled their holes. Tom and Lily were sad and wet.
+
+They ran to the house to get dry and warm. But the door was locked. They could not get in. They knocked and knocked, but no one answered. They were scared and cold.
+
+Then they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. He had a collar with a tag. The tag said his name was Max. Max saw Tom and Lily and wagged his tail. He was friendly and generous.
+
+Max had a key in his mouth. He brought the key to Tom and Lily and dropped it on the ground. Tom and Lily picked up the key and tried it on the door. It worked! The door opened and they went inside.
+
+They found a towel and dried themselves and Max. They found some cookies and milk and shared them with Max. They thanked Max for his help and gave him a hug. They were happy and safe.
+Lily and Ben went to the toy store with Mom. They saw many toys that they liked. Lily liked the dolls and Ben liked the cars. Mom said they could each choose one toy to buy.
+
+Lily pointed to a big doll with a pink dress and long hair. She said, "I want this one, Mom. She is so pretty." Mom looked at the price tag and shook her head. She said, "That doll is too expensive, Lily. We cannot buy it. Can you find another doll that you like?"
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want another doll. She wanted the big doll. She started to cry. Ben saw Lily crying and felt sorry for her. He pointed to a small car on the left shelf. He said, "Look, Lily. This car is nice. It can go fast and make noises. Do you want it?"
+
+Lily looked at the car. She did not like cars. She liked dolls. She said, "No, thank you, Ben. I do not want a car. I want a doll." Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea. He said, "Why don't we share, Lily? You can play with my car and I can play with your doll. Then we can both be happy."
+
+Lily stopped crying. She smiled at Ben. She said, "That is a good idea, Ben. You are a nice brother. Thank you." Mom smiled too. She said, "You are both very kind and smart. I am proud of you. Let's go and buy the toys." Lily and Ben hugged Mom and each other. They were happy. They went to the cashier and bought the car and the doll. They shared their toys and played together. They had fun.
+Lisa loved shrimp. She liked to eat them with rice and sauce. Sometimes, her mom would buy shrimp from the market and cook them for dinner. Lisa would always say, "Thank you, mom, for the yummy shrimp!"
+
+One day, Lisa and her mom went to the market. They saw a big sign that said, "Shrimp for sale". Lisa was very happy. She pulled her mom's hand and said, "Mom, can we buy some shrimp, please?"
+
+Her mom looked at the sign and frowned. She said, "Sorry, Lisa, we can't buy shrimp today. They are too expensive. We don't have enough money."
+
+Lisa was very sad. She wanted to eat shrimp so much. She looked at the other people who were buying shrimp. They had big bags and nice clothes. They looked wealthy. Lisa wondered why they had more money than her and her mom.
+
+She saw a man who was buying a lot of shrimp. He had a shiny watch and a fancy hat. He smiled and said to the seller, "I'll take all the shrimp you have. I'm having a big party tonight. My friends love shrimp."
+
+Lisa felt angry. She thought the man was greedy. He was taking all the shrimp for himself and his friends. He didn't care about the other people who wanted shrimp. Lisa wished she could have some shrimp too.
+
+She had an idea. She waited until the man was not looking. She ran to his bag and grabbed a handful of shrimp. She ran back to her mom and said, "Mom, look, I got some shrimp for us!"
+
+Her mom was shocked. She said, "Lisa, what did you do? You can't take shrimp from other people. That's wrong. You have to give them back."
+
+Lisa didn't want to give them back. She said, "But mom, he has too many shrimp. He doesn't need them all. We need some shrimp too. It's not fair."
+
+Her mom said, "Lisa, it doesn't matter how many shrimp he has. It's his money. He can buy what he wants. It's not our shrimp. We have to pay for what we want. It's not nice to steal. It's bad."
+
+Lisa felt ashamed. She realized her mom was right. She had done a bad thing. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I'll give them back."
+
+She ran to the man and said, "Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry. I took some of your shrimp. Here they are. Please forgive me."
+
+The man was surprised. He looked at Lisa and said, "You took some of my shrimp? Why did you do that?"
+
+Lisa said, "I love shrimp. I wanted to eat them with my mom. But we don't have enough money. You have a lot of money. You bought all the shrimp. I was angry and jealous. I'm sorry."
+
+The man felt sorry for Lisa. He said, "I see. Well, I'm glad you told me the truth. That was brave of you. I forgive you. But you know, you shouldn't take things that don't belong to you. That's not right. You have to work hard and save money to buy what you want. That's how I became wealthy. Do you understand?"
+
+Lisa nodded. She said, "Yes, sir. I understand. Thank you for forgiving me. I'll work hard and save money. Maybe one day, I'll buy some shrimp too."
+
+The man smiled. He said, "That's a good goal. Here, take these shrimp. They're a gift from me. You can share them with your mom. But remember, don't steal again. It's not worth it."
+
+Lisa thanked the man. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I learned my lesson. I won't steal again. I'll be good. Can we go home and cook these shrimp?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, Lisa. We can. I'm proud of you. You did the right thing. I love you."
+
+Lisa said, "I love you too, mom. And I love shrimp."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big sack. They put many things in the sack. They put a ball, a doll, a car, a book and a letter in the sack.
+
+They take the sack to the big tree. They sit under the tree. They open the sack. They take out the things. They play with the ball, the doll, the car and the book. They have fun.
+
+Then they see the letter. They do not know who wrote the letter. They are curious. They open the letter. They see a picture. It is a picture of a cat. The cat is playful. It has a big smile. It has a bow on its head. It has a message. The message says: "Hello, Lily and Ben. I am your new friend. My name is Fluffy. I live in the house next to the park. I like to play with you. Can I come to the park tomorrow? Please write back. Love, Fluffy."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They like the picture. They like the cat. They want to meet Fluffy. They write back. They say: "Hello, Fluffy. We are happy to be your friends. Your picture is nice.

+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big bird in the sky. It was black and white and had a long neck. It was a swan.
+
+"Look, Tom, a swan!" Lila said. "It can soar high and low. It is so pretty!"
+
+Tom nodded. He liked the swan too. He wanted to touch it. He ran to the pond where the swan was landing. He reached out his hand.
+
+"Tom, no!" Lila shouted. "The swan can bite you. It is not nice. Come back!"
+
+But Tom did not listen. He got closer to the swan. The swan saw him and hissed. It opened its beak and snapped at Tom. Tom screamed and ran away. He was scared and hurt.
+
+Lila ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for him. She saw a piece of wood on the ground. It was weird. It had a shape like a swan. It had a head and a neck and a body and wings. It was a toy.
+
+"Look, Tom, a toy!" Lila said. "It is a swan too. But it can not bite you. It can only soar in your hand. Do you want it?"
+
+Tom nodded. He liked the toy. He took it and smiled. He forgot the bad swan. He waved the toy in the air. He made it soar high and low. He was happy.
+
+Lila and Tom played with the toy. They had fun. They liked the weird wood swan. It was so pretty.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the house. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She checked under the bed, behind the sofa, and in the closet. She could not find him.
+
+"Where are you, Ben?" she called out. "I will find you!"
+
+Ben was hiding in the kitchen. He saw a big oven and thought it was a good place to hide. He opened the oven door and crawled inside. He closed the door behind him and waited for Lily to give up.
+
+Lily heard a noise in the kitchen. She ran to the kitchen and saw the oven. She smelled something funny. She opened the oven door and saw Ben inside. He was sweating and coughing. He looked scared and sad.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing in the oven?" she asked. "It is hot and dangerous in there!"
+
+"I was hiding from you," Ben said. "But I did not know the oven was on. It was slow to get hot, but then it got very hot. I could not open the door. I was stuck. I was sorry."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben too. She helped him out of the oven and gave him a hug. She turned off the oven and opened the window. She said, "Ben, you should never hide in the oven. It is not a safe place. Next time, hide somewhere else. OK?"
+
+"OK," Ben said. "I will not hide in the oven again. I surrender. You win. You are a good seeker."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You are a good hider, but you need to be careful. Come on, let's go get some water and cookies. And then we can play another game. OK?"
+
+"OK," Ben said. "That sounds good. I like playing with you, Lily. You are a good friend."
+
+They held hands and walked to the living room. They were happy and thirsty and hungry. They forgot about the oven and the heat. They only remembered the fun and the friendship.
+Tim and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see the gorilla. The gorilla was big and strong, and he lived in a cage.
+
+They found the gorilla cage, but it was empty. They asked a zoo man, "Where is the gorilla?"
+
+The zoo man said, "The gorilla is sick. He has a hurt leg. We are trying to fix it. He is in the vet room. You can't see him today."
+
+Tim and Lily were sad. They wanted to see the gorilla. They did not listen to the zoo man. They ran away from Mom and Dad. They looked for the vet room. They found a door that said "Vet Room. Do Not Enter."
+
+They opened the door. They saw the gorilla. He was on a table. He had a bandage on his leg. He looked angry. He saw Tim and Lily. He roared.
+
+The gorilla broke the table. He broke the bandage. He ran to Tim and Lily. He grabbed them with his big hands. He squeezed them tight. He hurt them.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the roar. They heard Tim and Lily scream. They ran to the vet room. They saw the gorilla. They saw Tim and Lily. They were scared. They called for help.
+
+But it was too late. The gorilla did not let go of Tim and Lily. He squeezed them too tight. He broke them. They did not move. They did not breathe.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the park. One morning, they see a lot of mist in the air. It is like a big cloud that is close to the ground. They think it is fun and run into the mist.
+
+They enjoy feeling the mist on their faces and hands. It is wet and cool. They pretend they are explorers in a new land. They find a big rock that is rough and hard. They climb on the rock and look around. They see trees and flowers and birds. They also see other kids playing in the mist.
+
+They wave to the other kids and invite them to join their adventure. The other kids are happy and run to the rock. They all play together and make up stories. They have a lot of fun in the mist. They do not want to go home. But soon, the sun comes out and the mist goes away. They say goodbye to their new friends and go back to their mom. She gives them a hug and a snack.

+
+One day, they see a big box in the corner. It is brown and has a hole. They are curious. They want to see what is inside. They go to the box and look.
+
+"Hello, is anyone there?" Ben says. He puts his head in the hole. He sees something dark and fuzzy. It has eyes and teeth. It is a rat. The rat is angry. It bites Ben's nose. Ben screams.
+
+"Ben, what is wrong?" Mia says. She runs to the box. She sees the rat and Ben's blood. She is scared. She cries.
+
+The rat comes out of the hole. It runs to Mia. It bites her leg. Mia screams louder.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the screams. They come to the room. They see the rat and the children. They are shocked. They grab the rat and throw it away. They hug the children and call the doctor.
+
+The doctor comes and gives the children medicine. He says they have to go to the hospital. He says the rat is sick and can make them sick too. He says they need shots and tests. He says they might have scars.
+
+Ben and Mia are sad. They don't like the hospital. They don't like the shots and the tests. They don't like the scars. They wish they never saw the box. They wish they never played with the rat. They wish they only played with colors. Colors are interesting. Rats are scary.
+Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, I have a long block. It is blue and yellow," Sara says. She puts the block on the floor.
+
+"I have a square block. It is red and green," Ben says. He puts the block on top of Sara's block.
+
+They keep adding more blocks to their tower. They are happy and proud.
+
+"How high is our tower?" Sara asks. She wants to know the measure of their tower.
+
+"I don't know. Let's ask Mom," Ben says. He runs to the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, Mom, can you come and see our tower?" he calls.
+
+Mom comes to the living room. She sees the tower of blocks. She smiles.
+
+"Wow, you made a very nice tower. It is very tall and colorful," she says.
+
+She kneels down and looks at the blocks. She recognizes some of them. They are from her old toy box.
+
+"These blocks were mine when I was little. I used to play with them a lot. Do you like them?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, we like them. They are fun and pretty," Sara and Ben say.
+
+Mom hugs them. She is happy to share her toys with them.
+
+"Can you tell us how high our tower is?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, I can. Let me get a measure. Wait here," Mom says.
+
+She goes to the closet and gets a measure. It is a long and thin thing with numbers on it. She comes back to the tower.
+
+She holds the measure next to the tower. She looks at the numbers.
+
+"Your tower is 50 centimeters high. That is very good. You are very clever," she says.
+
+Sara and Ben clap their hands. They are happy to know the measure of their tower.
+
+"Can we make it higher?" Sara asks.
+
+"Maybe, but be careful. If you add too many blocks, the tower might fall down. The blocks are not very tight. They can move and slide," Mom says.
+
+She helps them add a few more blocks. The tower becomes higher and higher. It is almost as tall as Sara and Ben.
+
+They look at their tower. They are amazed and proud. They have made the best tower ever.
+Lily was miserable. She wanted to go outside and play with her friends, but it was very cold and windy. Her mom said she had to wear her big coat and hat and gloves. Lily hated her big coat. It was red and scratchy and had a zipper that was hard to pull.
+
+"Mom, I don't want to wear this coat!" Lily said. "It's too hot and itchy and the zipper hurts my fingers!"
+
+"Lily, you have to wear your coat or you will get sick," her mom said. "It's very cold and windy outside. The zipper is not hard, you just have to be careful. Here, let me help you."
+
+Her mom took the zipper and tried to pull it up, but it was stuck. She pulled harder and harder, but it did not move. She looked at the zipper and saw that it was broken. The teeth were bent and the slider was jammed.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, I'm sorry, your zipper is broken," her mom said. "We can't fix it right now. You can't wear this coat today."
+
+Lily felt a surge of joy. She did not have to wear her big coat! She could wear her pink sweater and her purple scarf and her sparkly boots. She smiled and hugged her mom.
+
+"Thank you, mom, thank you for breaking my zipper!" Lily said. "Now I can wear what I want!"
+
+Her mom laughed and shook her head. She was glad that Lily was happy, but she wondered how she would keep her warm outside.
+
+"Okay, Lily, you can wear what you want, but you have to promise me to stay close to me and not run too far," her mom said. "And if you feel cold, you have to tell me and we will go back inside. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and kissed her mom. She ran to the door and opened it. She felt the cold wind on her face and the snowflakes on her hair. She did not care. She was free and happy. She shouted to her friends and joined them in the snow. She did not notice that her mom was shivering and holding her broken coat. She did not let the cold bother her. She only let herself have fun.
+Tim and Lily were friends who lived next to each other. They liked to play in their backyards, but they had different toys. Tim had a big slide that he could climb up and slide down. Lily had a swing that she could push and swing high. Tim liked his slide, but he also wanted to try Lily's swing. Lily liked her swing, but she also wanted to try Tim's slide.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily decided to swap toys. Tim ran to Lily's swing and climbed on it. He pushed with his feet and swung back and forth. He felt happy and free. Lily ran to Tim's slide and climbed up the ladder. She sat on the top and slid down. She felt fast and fun. They both laughed and enjoyed their new toys.
+
+But after a while, Tim and Lily started to miss their own toys. Tim saw Lily slide down and he felt envious. He wanted to slide too. Lily saw Tim swing high and she felt envious. She wanted to swing too. They both stopped laughing and started to frown. They both wanted their own toys back.
+
+They looked at each other and realized they were both unhappy. They decided to share their toys instead of swapping them. Tim climbed off the swing and ran to the slide. Lily climbed off the slide and ran to the swing. They took turns to play with both toys. They felt happy and fair. They both smiled and started to laugh again.
+
+They learned that it is good to try new things, but it is also good to appreciate what you have. They learned that it is better to share than to be envious. They learned that they were lucky to have each other as friends and neighbors.
+Anna loved dinosaurs. She had many dinosaur toys and books. She liked to sign their names and sounds. She wanted to see real dinosaurs, but they were gone a long time ago.
+
+One day, Anna went to the museum with her mom. There, she saw big bones of dinosaurs. She was very happy. She ran to each bone and signed what dinosaur it was. She saw a T-rex, a triceratops, a stegosaurus, and more.
+
+Then, she saw a boy with a shiny watch and a fancy hat. He was looking at a big bone too. He said, "This is a brontosaurus. It was the biggest dinosaur ever. It was very wealthy. It had a lot of food and land. I wish I was a brontosaurus."
+
+Anna was curious. She went to the boy and said, "Why do you want to be a brontosaurus? They are gone. You are here. You have a nice watch and hat. You are wealthy too."
+
+The boy looked at Anna and said, "But I am not happy. My watch and hat are from my dad. He works a lot and never plays with me. He says money is important. He says dinosaurs are boring. He does not sign with me. I want to be a brontosaurus because they had friends and family. They had fun and love. They did not need money."
+
+Anna felt sad for the boy. She said, "I am sorry. Your dad is wrong. Dinosaurs are not boring. They are amazing. Money is not important. Friends and family are important. Fun and love are important. You do not need to be a brontosaurus. You can be yourself. You can sign with me. I can be your friend."
+
+The boy smiled at Anna. He said, "Thank you. You are very kind. You are right. I can be myself. I can sign with you. You can be my friend. Maybe we can play with my watch and hat. Maybe we can share your dinosaur toys and books. Maybe we can learn more about dinosaurs together."
+
+Anna nodded. She said, "Yes, we can. That sounds like fun. That sounds like love. Come on, let's go."
+
+Anna and the boy held hands and ran to the next bone. They signed and laughed. They were happy. They learned that being wealthy is not about having things, but about having friends. They learned that dinosaurs are not gone, but alive in their hearts.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys and books and games in their room. But they never put them away when they were done. Their room was very messy. Their mom and dad always told them to clean up, but they did not listen.
+
+One night, Lily and Tom had a dream. They dreamed that they were in a big forest. The forest was full of animals and flowers and fruits. They wanted to explore and have fun. But they soon got lost. They could not find their way back. They were scared and hungry and cold.
+
+They saw a big house in the clearing. They ran to the house and knocked on the door. A kind old lady opened the door and smiled at them. She invited them in and gave them some cookies and milk. She asked them where they came from and why they were in the forest.
+
+Lily and Tom told her that they were from the city and that they had a messy room. They said that they did not like to clean up and that they dreamed of the forest. The old lady nodded and said, "I see. Well, you are welcome to stay here for the night. But there is one rule. You have to clean up after yourselves. If you don't, something bad will happen."
+
+Lily and Tom agreed and thanked the old lady. They ate the cookies and milk and went to sleep in a cozy bed. They were happy and warm. But they did not clean up the crumbs and the dishes. They left them on the table and the floor.
+
+The next morning, they woke up and saw that the house was gone. They were back in the forest. But the forest was not the same. It was dark and scary. The animals and flowers and fruits were gone. There were only thorns and spiders and snakes. They heard a loud roar and saw a big bear coming towards them. They screamed and ran, but the bear was faster. It caught them and ate them.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should always clean up your mess, or else you might end up in a bigger one.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks in the yard. Tom has a big red truck and Sam has a small blue truck. They make noises and drive their trucks on the grass and the dirt.
+
+One day, Tom sees a new truck in the store. It is yellow and shiny and has a siren. Tom wants the new truck very much. He asks his mom to buy it for him. His mom says yes, but only if he is generous and shares his old truck with someone who needs it.
+
+Tom thinks about who he can give his old truck to. He remembers that Sam only has a small truck and sometimes wishes he had a bigger one. Tom decides to be generous and give his old truck to Sam. He puts his old truck in a box and wraps it with a bow.
+
+He goes to Sam's house and knocks on the door. Sam opens the door and sees Tom with the box. He wonders what is inside.
+
+"Hi, Sam. I have a present for you," Tom says.
+
+"A present? For me? What is it?" Sam asks.
+
+Tom smiles and gives him the box. "Open it and see. It is something I used to play with, but now I want you to have it."
+
+Sam opens the box and sees the big red truck. His eyes light up and he gasps. He loves the big red truck. He hugs Tom and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are so generous. This is the best present ever. Can we play with it together?"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, of course. I have a new truck too. It is yellow and shiny and has a siren. Come on, let's go to the yard and play with our trucks."
+
+Tom and Sam run to the yard and play with their trucks. They make noises and drive their trucks on the grass and the dirt. They are happy and share their trucks with each other. They are good friends.
+Lisa and Tom are playing with blocks. They have many shapes and colors of blocks. Lisa likes to make towers and walls with the blocks. Tom likes to make cars and trains with the blocks.
+
+Lisa sees a triangle block that Tom has. It is yellow and shiny. Lisa wants the triangle block. She is envious of Tom. She says to Tom, "Can I have the triangle block, please?"
+
+Tom says, "No, this is my triangle block. I need it for my train. You have many other blocks. Find another triangle block."
+
+Lisa looks around. She does not see another triangle block. She is sad and angry. She says to Tom, "That is not fair. You have the only triangle block. Give it to me now!"
+
+Tom says, "No, I will not give it to you. It is mine. Go away!"
+
+Lisa and Tom start to fight. They pull and push each other. They knock down their towers and walls and cars and trains. The blocks fly everywhere. They make a big mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Lisa and Tom fighting. She sees the blocks all over the floor. She is not happy. She says to Lisa and Tom, "Stop fighting right now! What is going on here?"
+
+Lisa and Tom stop fighting. They look at Mom. They are scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing with the blocks. But we wanted the same block. The triangle block. It is yellow and shiny."
+
+Mom says, "I see. But you have many other blocks. You can share and take turns. You can pass the triangle block to each other. You can play nicely. Fighting is not good. Fighting makes you and me and the blocks unhappy. Do you understand?"
+
+Lisa and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will share and take turns. We will pass the triangle block to each other. We will play nicely."
+
+Mom says, "That is good. I am glad. Now, pick up the blocks and put them away. Then you can play again. But remember, be kind and respectful to each other. And have fun."
+
+Lisa and Tom say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom." They pick up the blocks and put them away. They find the triangle block. They smile at each other. They pass the triangle block to each other. They say, "Here you go. You can have it first. Thank you. You are welcome." They play again. They make new towers and walls and cars and trains. They are happy. Mom is happy. The blocks are happy. The end.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red vest that their grandma made for them. They liked to pretend they were superheroes with the vest, and take turns wearing it.
+
+One day, their mom said it was time for a nap. Lily and Ben did not want to nap, they wanted to play more. But mom said they had to nap, or they would be grumpy and tired later. She said they could share the vest after their nap.
+
+Lily and Ben went to their room, but they did not nap. They whispered and giggled and played with the vest. Lily wore the vest first, and Ben was envious. He wanted to wear the vest too. He asked Lily to give him the vest, but Lily said no. She said it was her turn, and she would not share.
+
+Ben was angry and sad. He tried to grab the vest from Lily, but Lily held on tight. They pulled and tugged and fought over the vest. The vest ripped in half, and they both cried. Mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the ripped vest and the crying twins. She was not happy.
+
+She said, "Lily and Ben, you did not nap, and you did not share. You ruined the vest that grandma made for you. Now you have no vest, and no fun. You have to say sorry to each other, and to grandma. And you have to nap now, or you will get no dessert."
+
+Lily and Ben said sorry to each other, and to grandma on the phone. They hugged and said they loved each other. They put the ripped vest in a box, and hoped grandma could fix it. They lay down on their beds, and napped. They dreamed of playing with the vest again, and being superheroes.
+On Wednesday, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They also liked to see the birds, the squirrels, and the flowers.
+
+Tom was adventurous. He wanted to try everything in the park. He climbed the slide, he swung high, and he dug a hole in the sand. He said to Lily, "Come on, Lily, let's have fun!"
+
+Lily was shy. She did not like to try new things. She stayed close to mom and watched Tom. She said to mom, "Tom is too brave. I'm scared."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. You don't have to do what Tom does. You can do what you like. But sometimes, it's good to stretch yourself and try something new. You might like it."
+
+Mom took Lily by the hand and walked to the slide. She said, "How about we go down the slide together? I'll hold you and we'll go slow. It's fun, I promise."
+
+Lily looked at the slide. It was tall and shiny. She felt nervous, but she trusted mom. She nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Let's try it."
+
+Mom and Lily climbed the stairs and sat on the slide. Mom wrapped her arms around Lily and said, "Ready, set, go!" They slid down the slide, feeling the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. Lily giggled and said, "Wee! That was fun!"
+
+Tom saw them and ran to them. He said, "Good job, Lily! You did it! Do you want to do it again?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom. I want to do it again. And maybe I can try the swing and the sandbox too. I'm feeling adventurous today."
+Sara and Ben like to play in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen and snow forts. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+One day, they find a big hole in the snow. They wonder what is inside. They look at each other and nod. They decide to explore the hole.
+
+They take a long stick and a measure. They want to see how deep the hole is. They put the stick in the hole and move the measure along it. They are surprised. The hole is very deep. They cannot see the end of the stick.
+
+They hear a loud roar. They are scared. They see a big bear coming out of the hole. The bear is angry. It has been sleeping in the hole. It does not like to be disturbed.
+
+Sara and Ben freeze. They do not know what to do. They hope the bear will go away. They wish they had not explored the hole.
+
+The bear sniffs at them. It growls and shows its teeth. It is hungry. It thinks Sara and Ben are food.
+
+Sara and Ben scream. They drop the stick and the measure. They run away as fast as they can. They do not look back. They do not stop until they reach their home.
+
+They tell their mom and dad what happened. They are glad they are safe. They hug each other and cry. They learn a lesson. They promise to never explore holes in the snow again.
+Tom and Lily were at the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and fish. They also saw a new boat that someone had put in the water. It was red and shiny and had a sail.
+
+"Can we go on the boat, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, dear, that boat belongs to someone else. We can only look at it from here," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They wanted to go on the boat and sail with the ducks and fish. They sat on a bench and watched the boat.
+
+"Look, Tom, the boat is moving!" Lily said.
+
+Tom looked and saw that the boat was sailing away from the pond. It was going to the river that was next to the park.
+
+"Who is on the boat?" Tom wondered.
+
+They ran to the edge of the pond and tried to see who was on the boat. They could not see anyone. The boat was too far.
+
+"Maybe it is a ghost boat," Lily said.
+
+Tom was scared. He did not like ghosts.
+
+"Let's go back to mom," he said.
+
+They ran back to the bench where mom was reading a book.
+
+"Mom, mom, we saw a ghost boat!" Tom said.
+
+"A ghost boat? What do you mean?" mom asked.
+
+They told mom what they saw. Mom smiled and said, "That was not a ghost boat, my loves. That was a remote-controlled boat. Someone was using a device to make it move. It was just a toy."
+
+Tom and Lily were surprised. They did not know what a remote-controlled boat was. They wanted to see it.
+
+"Can we peek at the device, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe, if we ask nicely. Come on, let's go find the owner of the boat," mom said.
+
+They followed the boat to the river and saw a man holding a device. He was smiling and waving at them.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you like my boat?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. It is a new boat. It is very nice," Tom said.
+
+"Thank you. It is my hobby. I like to make and sail boats. Do you want to peek at my device?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, please," Lily said.
+
+The man showed them his device. It had buttons and a screen. He explained how he could make the boat go faster or slower, turn left or right, and stop.
+
+"Wow, that is amazing," Tom said.
+
+"Can we try it?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, why not. Here, you can hold it. But be careful, don't make the boat crash," he said.
+
+He gave them the device and let them take turns to control the boat. Tom and Lily were very happy. They had fun sailing the boat with the ducks and fish. They thanked the man and gave him back his device.
+
+"Thank you for letting us peek at your boat and your device. You are very kind," Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Maybe one day you can make your own boat," he said.
+
+They waved goodbye to the man and his boat. They went back to mom and told her what they learned. Mom was proud of them. She hugged them and said, "You see, there are no ghosts. Only new things to discover."
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. The truck made a loud sound: ding-ding-ding!
+
+"Mom, can we have ice-cream?" Tim asked.
+
+"Please, mom, please!" Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and said: "OK, but only one each. And you have to finish your lunch later."
+
+Tim and Lily cheered and ran to the truck. They saw many colors of ice-cream. Tim picked chocolate and Lily picked strawberry. The man in the truck gave them cones with ice-cream on top.
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Tim and Lily said.
+
+They licked their ice-cream and smiled. It was cold and sweet and yummy. They walked back to mom, who was sitting on a bench.
+
+"Be careful, don't drop your ice-cream," mom said.
+
+But then, a big dog came running. It was brown and furry and had a long tongue. It saw Tim and Lily's ice-cream and wanted some too. It barked and jumped and tried to grab their cones.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tim shouted.
+
+"Mom, help!" Lily cried.
+
+Mom got up and said in a serious voice: "No, bad dog! Leave them alone!"
+
+She waved her hand and the dog ran away. Tim and Lily hugged mom and said: "Thank you, mom! You saved our ice-cream!"
+
+Mom hugged them back and said: "You're welcome, my loves. Now, let's finish your ice-cream before it melts."
+
+They sat on the bench and ate their ice-cream. They were happy and safe. They liked ice-cream, but they liked mom more.
+Lily is a big sister. She has a baby brother, Tom. Lily loves Tom very much. She likes to play with him and make him laugh. She also helps Mom and Dad take care of him.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom are in the garden. They see some pretty flowers. Lily picks one for Mom. Tom wants one too. He crawls to a flower. But it is not a flower. It is a bee. The bee is angry. It wants to sting Tom.
+
+Lily sees the bee. She is scared. She does not want Tom to get hurt. She runs to Tom. She puts her hand on the bee. She prevents the bee from stinging Tom. The bee stings Lily instead. Lily cries. It hurts a lot.
+
+Mom and Dad hear Lily cry. They come to the garden. They see what happened. They hug Lily and Tom. They say, "Lily, you are so brave and kind. You saved Tom from the bee. You are a dependable big sister. We are very proud of you."
+
+They take Lily and Tom inside. They put some ice on Lily's hand. They give her a cookie and a kiss. They read her a story. Lily feels better. She smiles at Tom. Tom smiles back. He hugs Lily. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are the best big sister ever."
+Lily and Sam were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+Then they saw a man walking with a big sign. The sign said "Free hot cocoa". The man smiled and waved at them. He said "Hello, kids. Do you want some hot cocoa? It will warm you up."
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They liked hot cocoa. They followed the man to his truck. He gave them each a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows. It was sweet and warm. They said "Thank you, mister. This is very good."
+
+The man said "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like it. I'm giving out free hot cocoa to everyone who is playing in the snow. It's my way of spreading some joy."
+
+Lily and Sam smiled. They thought the man was very nice. They drank their hot cocoa and felt grateful. They said "You are very kind, mister. We appreciate your sign and your cocoa."
+
+The man said "You're very welcome, kids. Enjoy the snow and have fun. And don't forget to wear your gloves and hats. It's cold outside."
+
+Lily and Sam said "Bye, mister. Have a nice day." They put their cups in the trash and ran back to their snowman. They hugged him and said "We love you, snowman. You are our friend."
+
+They played in the powder until it was time to go home. They had a wonderful day.
+Lila and Tom are playing with blocks. They are making a big tower. Lila has a red block. Tom has a blue block. They want to put them on top of the tower.
+
+"Pass me the red block, please," Tom says to Lila.
+
+"OK, here you go," Lila says. She passes the red block to Tom.
+
+Tom puts the red block on the tower. The tower is very tall now. Lila and Tom are happy.
+
+"Pass me the blue block, please," Lila says to Tom.
+
+"OK, here you go," Tom says. He passes the blue block to Lila.
+
+Lila puts the blue block on the tower. The tower is very tall and colorful now. Lila and Tom are very happy.
+
+"Wow, we did it!" Lila says.
+
+"Yes, we did!" Tom says.
+
+They clap their hands and smile.
+
+But then, the tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. Lila and Tom are sad.
+
+"Oh no, our tower!" Lila says.
+
+"It's OK, we can make another one," Tom says.
+
+They look at the blocks. They are all over the floor. They are not clean.
+
+"Mom will be mad if we leave the blocks like this," Lila says.
+
+"Yes, we have to clean them up," Tom says.
+
+They start to pick up the blocks. They put them in a big box. They work together. They are good friends.
+
+"Look, we are almost done," Lila says.
+
+"Yes, we are," Tom says.
+
+They finish cleaning the blocks. The floor is clean now. Lila and Tom are proud.
+
+"Mom, we cleaned the blocks!" Lila says.
+
+"Good job, Lila and Tom!" Mom says.
+
+She comes to see them. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"I'm proud of you, too," she says.
+
+She gives them a cookie each. They eat the cookies. They are yummy.
+
+Lila and Tom are happy again. They love playing with blocks. They love Mom. They love each other. The end.
+Tom and Anna are going to the park with their mom. They are very happy because they love to play on the swings and slides. They put on their shoes and coats and get in the car.
+
+Mom drives the car on the road, but there are many other cars. They are all going very slow. This is traffic. Mom says, "Oh no, we are stuck in traffic. We might be late for the park."
+
+Tom and Anna are sad. They do not like traffic. They want to go to the park fast. They look out the window and see a big truck. The truck has a picture of a cow on it. Tom says, "Look, Anna, a cow truck!"
+
+Anna says, "Wow, a cow truck! I wonder what is inside. Maybe there are real cows. Moo!"
+
+Tom and Anna start to make cow noises. They are very loud. They think it is funny.
+
+But the driver of the truck does not think it is funny. He is nosy. He wants to know who is making cow noises. He looks at Tom and Anna's car. He sees them laughing and mooing. He does not like it. He makes a mean face. He honks his horn. Honk!
+
+Tom and Anna are scared. They stop making cow noises. They hide behind their mom. Mom says, "Shh, be quiet. The truck driver is angry. He does not like noise. He is nosy."
+
+Tom and Anna say, "Sorry, mom. We were just having fun. We did not mean to make him mad."
+
+Mom says, "It's okay, kids. I know you were just playing. But sometimes you have to be careful. Not everyone likes noise. Some people are nosy and grumpy."
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They understand. They wait for the traffic to move. They hope they can still go to the park. They hope the truck driver will not be nosy and honk again. They hope they will see more cow trucks. But they will not make cow noises. They will just look and smile.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in Sara's yard. Sara has a big pink ball. Ben likes to kick the ball. Sara likes to catch the ball.
+
+One day, they see a big tree in the yard. The tree has a branch that is low and long. Sara has an idea. She says, "Let's lean on the branch and swing like monkeys!"
+
+Ben thinks that sounds fun. He says, "OK, let's do it!" They run to the tree and grab the branch. They lean on the branch and swing back and forth. They laugh and shout.
+
+But the branch is not strong. It starts to crack and bend. Sara and Ben do not hear the crack. They swing faster and faster. Then, the branch breaks. Sara and Ben fall to the ground. The branch falls on top of them. The pink ball rolls away.
+
+Sara and Ben are hurt. They cry and scream. Sara's mom hears them and runs to the yard. She sees them under the branch. She is scared and angry. She says, "What were you doing? You could have been killed! You are very naughty!"
+
+She lifts the branch and helps Sara and Ben get up. She takes them to the house. She puts bandages on their cuts and bruises. She says, "You are not allowed to play in the yard anymore. You have to stay inside and be quiet. And you have to say sorry to each other and to me."
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They do not like to stay inside and be quiet. They do not like to say sorry. They wish they had not leaned on the branch. They wish they had played with the pink ball instead. They have learned a hard lesson.

+Tim and Kim like to play in the yard. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and an axe. The axe is not a real axe. It is a toy axe. It is red and shiny.

+Tim and Kim are tired. They cannot catch Rex. They sit on the grass. They cry. They have no axe. They have no secret. They have a big hole. They are not happy.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to ride bikes. They always wore helmets to be safe. One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a big bike, but no helmet.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily and this is Tom. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, I'm Sam. I just moved here. Your bikes are nice," Sam said.
+
+"Thank you. Your bike is nice too, but where is your helmet?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't have one. I don't need one. I'm very good at riding," Sam said.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They knew that helmets were important. They did not want Sam to get hurt.
+
+"Sam, you should wear a helmet. It protects your head. If you fall, you could get a big ouchie," Lily said.
+
+"Or worse. You could go to the hospital. That's not fun," Tom said.
+
+Sam shrugged. He did not listen. He said he was not afraid. He rode his bike very fast and did tricks. Lily and Tom watched him. They were worried.
+
+Suddenly, Sam hit a bump and lost his balance. He fell off his bike and hit his head on the ground. He cried out loud. Lily and Tom ran to him. They saw blood on his head.
+
+"Sam, are you okay?" Lily asked.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow. It hurts. It hurts a lot," Sam said.
+
+Lily and Tom helped him up. They saw a lady nearby. She had a phone. They asked her to call for help. She said yes. She was very kind. She gave Sam a tissue and a hug.
+
+Soon, an ambulance came. The paramedics checked Sam. They said he had a cut on his head. They put a bandage on it. They said he had to go to the hospital. They said he was lucky. It could have been worse.
+
+Lily and Tom went with Sam. They held his hands. They said they were sorry. They said they hoped he would feel better soon.
+
+Sam looked at them. He felt bad. He knew they were right. He should have worn a helmet. He said he was sorry too. He said he was silly. He said he would wear a helmet next time.
+
+Lily and Tom smiled. They said they were glad. They said they were still his friends. They said they would welcome him back to the park when he was better.
+
+Sam smiled too. He said thank you. He said he was happy. He said he had learned a lesson. He said he would be more careful.
+Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they saw a little bird on the ground. It had a broken wing and could not fly.
+
+"Oh no, the bird is hurt!" Anna said. She felt sad for the bird. She wanted to help it.
+
+"Can we take it home, mom?" Ben asked. He also felt sorry for the bird. He wanted to make it better.
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, we can't, Ben. The bird needs a vet. A vet is a doctor for animals. They know how to fix the bird's wing."
+
+"But mom, the bird is helpless. It can't find food or water. It can't hide from big animals. It needs us to care for it," Anna said. She had tears in her eyes.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Anna and Ben. "I know, sweeties. You are very kind and caring. But we can't keep the bird. It belongs to the sky, not to our house. How about we call the vet and ask them to come and get the bird? They will take it to a safe place where it can heal and be happy."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They agreed that the vet was the best person to help the bird. They still felt sad, but they also felt a little bit of wonder. They wondered how the bird got hurt, and how it would feel when it could fly again. They wondered what kind of bird it was, and where it came from. They wondered if they would ever see it again.
+
+They watched as mom called the vet on her phone. They waited until the vet arrived and gently picked up the bird. They said goodbye to the bird and thanked the vet. They hoped the bird would be okay.
+
+Then they went back to playing in the park with their mom and dad. They had fun, but they also remembered the bird. They learned that sometimes, caring means letting go.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new log in the park. It is big and brown.
+
+"Look, a new log!" Lily says. "Let's go and see it."
+
+They run to the log. They touch it and climb on it. It is hard and smooth.
+
+"Can we sit on it?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, let's sit on it." Lily says.
+
+They sit on the log. They look at the sky and the trees. They see a bird and a squirrel. They point and name them.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Lily says.
+
+"Look, a squirrel!" Ben says.
+
+They hear a noise. It is a frog. It is hiding under the log. It croaks and jumps out.
+
+"Ribbit, ribbit!" the frog says.
+
+Lily and Ben are surprised. They look at the frog. The frog looks at them. They laugh.
+
+"Look, a frog!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+The frog hops away. Lily and Ben wave to it.
+
+"Bye, frog!" they say.
+
+They are happy. They hug each other. They like the new log. They like the park. They like to play.
+Sam and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the seal. The seal was big and shiny, and it swam in the water very fast. It jumped out of the water and made a loud sound. Sam and Lily clapped and laughed.
+
+"Look, mom, the seal is so graceful!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is, honey. It can do many tricks," mom said.
+
+Sam wanted to see more of the seal. He ran to the edge of the pool and leaned over. He tried to touch the seal, but he slipped and fell into the water. He was scared and wet. He started to yell.
+
+"Help, help, mom, help!" Sam yelled.
+
+The seal heard Sam's yell. It swam to him and pushed him up with its nose. It helped Sam get back to the edge of the pool. Sam grabbed mom's hand and climbed out of the water. He was shivering and crying.
+
+"Thank you, seal, thank you!" Sam said.
+
+The seal nodded and made a loud sound. It was happy to help Sam. Lily hugged Sam and gave him a towel. Mom kissed Sam and said he was brave.
+
+"Are you okay, Sam?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, I'm okay. The seal saved me. The seal is my friend," Sam said.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One night, they had a sleepover in their room. They each had a teddy bear to cuddle with. Ben had a brown bear and Lily had a white bear.
+
+Before they went to sleep, they told each other their dreams. Ben said he wanted to be a firefighter and save people from fires. Lily said she wanted to be a princess and live in a castle. They said good night and closed their eyes.
+
+But in the middle of the night, Ben woke up and saw that Lily had his brown bear. He was upset and angry. He thought Lily took his bear while he was sleeping. He reached over and grabbed his bear from Lily's arms. Lily woke up and saw that Ben had her white bear. She was upset and sad. She thought Ben took her bear while she was sleeping. She reached over and grabbed her bear from Ben's arms.
+
+They both started to cry and yell. "Give me back my bear!" Ben said. "No, you give me back my bear!" Lily said. They pulled and tugged on the bears until they ripped them apart. The stuffing came out and flew everywhere. They both stopped and looked at what they had done. They felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+They realized they had made a mistake. They had turned their bears around in the dark and took the wrong ones. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They said they loved each other and their bears. They fixed their bears with some tape and thread. They cuddled with their bears and went back to sleep. They dreamed of being a firefighter and a princess together.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big truck stop at their house. It was the mail truck. The mail truck had many letters and boxes for people.
+
+"Look, Lily, the mail truck is here!" Ben said. "Maybe we have something for us!"
+
+They ran to the mail truck and said hello to the mail lady. The mail lady smiled and gave them a letter. It was from their grandma. She lived far away and they missed her.
+
+"Thank you, mail lady!" Lily and Ben said. They opened the letter and saw a picture of their grandma and a note. The note said: "I love you, Lily and Ben. I hope to see you soon. I sent you a surprise. It will come in a big box. Look for it tomorrow."
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They hugged the letter and the picture. They wondered what the surprise was.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy, or a book, or a cake!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe it is a dress, or a hat, or a doll!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to their mom and showed her the letter and the picture. Their mom was happy too. She said they could call their grandma later and say thank you.
+
+They played some more in the yard. Then it started to rain. The rain was cold and wet. Lily and Ben ran inside. They changed their clothes and had some hot chocolate.
+
+They looked out the window and saw the mail truck drive away. They hoped the mail lady was not too wet. They hoped their surprise was not wet either.
+
+They said: "We can't wait for tomorrow. We want to see our surprise. But it is not here yet. We have to be patient."
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. Sara was brave and climbed up the ladder. Ben was scared and stayed on the ground.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Sara urged. She slid down the slide and laughed. "You can do it!"
+
+Ben shook his head. He felt pale and his tummy hurt. He did not like heights. He saw a boy watching them. The boy had a mean face and a loud voice.
+
+"What's wrong with you?" the boy asked. "Are you a baby? Why don't you go on the slide?"
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like the boy. The boy was a judge. He did not know Ben. He did not know that Ben was good at other things, like drawing and singing.
+
+"Leave him alone!" Sara said. She ran to Ben and hugged him. "He's not a baby. He's my friend. And you're a bully!"
+
+The boy snorted and walked away. He did not want to play with them. Sara and Ben did not care. They found a swing and a sandbox. They had fun together. They did not need the slide. They did not need the judge. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their toy ships. They have many ships of different colors and sizes. They like to make them sail on the water in the tub or the pool.
+
+One day, they decide to have a race with their ships. They each pick their favorite ship. Tom picks a big red ship with a sail. Mia picks a small yellow ship with a motor. They put their ships on one end of the pool and get ready to start.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" they shout and push their ships forward. The ships move fast on the water. Tom's ship catches the wind and goes faster. Mia's ship makes a loud noise and goes faster too. They watch their ships with excitement.
+
+"Go, go, go!" they cheer for their ships. The ships are very close to each other. They are almost at the other end of the pool. Who will win the race?
+
+Suddenly, they see a bright flash in the sky. It is a big firework. It makes a loud boom and sparks of many colors. Tom and Mia look up and say "Wow!" They forget about their ships for a moment. They see more fireworks in the sky. They are beautiful and noisy.
+
+They clap and laugh and enjoy the show. They remember that it is the Fourth of July. They hug each other and say "Happy Fourth of July!" They look back at the pool and see their ships. They are still floating on the water. They don't know who won the race. But they don't care. They are happy to see the fireworks and to play with their ships. They love their ships and each other.
+Lila and Tom are best friends. They like to play hide and seek in the park. Lila is good at hiding, but Tom is good at finding. One day, they play a new game. They call it peek and tell.
+
+Lila hides behind a big tree. She waits for Tom to find her. She hears his footsteps coming closer. She peeks from behind the tree. She sees Tom looking around. He does not see her. She smiles. She thinks she will win.
+
+But then, Tom stops. He turns around. He looks at the tree. He sees Lila's eyes. He says, "I found you, Lila! You peeked!"
+
+Lila comes out from behind the tree. She says, "No, I did not peek! You did not find me!"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, you did peek! I saw you! You have to tell the truth!"
+
+Lila says, "No, you did not see me! You are lying!"
+
+They start to argue. They do not sound like best friends. They sound like enemies.
+
+A lady who works in the park sees them. She comes over. She says, "What is the matter, children? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Lila and Tom tell her their stories. They both say they are right. They both say the other is wrong.
+
+The lady says, "Hmm, this is a tricky situation. How can we know who is telling the truth?"
+
+She thinks for a moment. Then she says, "I have an idea. Let's play peek and tell again. But this time, I will be the seeker. You two will be the hiders. And you will have to be reliable. That means you will have to do what you say. If you say you will not peek, you will not peek. If you say you will peek, you will peek. And then you will tell me the truth. Do you agree?"
+
+Lila and Tom nod. They agree. They think it is a fair game.
+
+They go to hide. The lady counts to ten. Then she says, "Ready or not, here I come!"
+
+She looks for them. She finds them. She asks them, "Did you peek?"
+
+Lila says, "Yes, I peeked. I'm sorry. I was curious."
+
+Tom says, "No, I did not peek. I was patient."
+
+The lady says, "Thank you for telling me the truth. You are both reliable. And you are both good at playing peek and tell. But you know what? You are also good at playing hide and seek. And you are better at playing together. So why don't you stop fighting and start being friends again?"
+
+Lila and Tom look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "You are right. We are sorry. We are friends again."
+
+They hug. They smile. They say, "Let's play some more!"
+
+The lady says, "That's wonderful. Have fun, children. And remember, peek and tell is a fun game, but only if you tell the truth."
+
+The end.
+Tommy loved to squeeze his family. He squeezed his mom and dad every morning and night. He squeezed his big sister when she played with him. He squeezed his baby brother when he made funny noises. Squeezing made Tommy feel happy and warm.
+
+One day, Tommy and his family went to the park. It was a bright day with a blue sky and a yellow sun. Tommy saw many things to squeeze. He squeezed the soft grass and the smooth rocks. He squeezed the furry dogs and the fluffy ducks. He squeezed the balloons and the bubbles. He had so much fun.
+
+But then, Tommy saw something he wanted to squeeze more than anything. It was a big, red, shiny fire truck. It had a loud horn and a long ladder. Tommy ran to the fire truck and tried to squeeze it. But it was too hard and too big. Tommy could not squeeze the fire truck. He felt sad and angry.
+
+He started to cry. He wanted to squeeze the fire truck so badly. He did not see his family looking for him. He did not hear his mom calling his name. He did not feel his dad picking him up. He only saw the fire truck.
+
+His dad hugged him and said, "Tommy, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Tommy looked at his dad and said, "I want to squeeze the fire truck. But I can't. It's too hard and too big." His dad smiled and said, "I know, Tommy. The fire truck is very cool. But you can't squeeze it. It's not for squeezing. It's for helping people. You know what you can squeeze? Your family. We love you and we love your squeezes. Come on, let's go find your mom and your sister and your brother. They are waiting for you."
+
+Tommy wiped his tears and nodded. He said, "Okay, dad. I love you and I love my family. Can I squeeze you?" His dad said, "Of course, Tommy. You can squeeze me anytime." Tommy squeezed his dad and felt happy and warm again. He forgot about the fire truck. He only saw his family. They were bright and shiny and soft and big. They were the best things to squeeze.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in the leaves and make them fly.
+
+They ran to the pile of leaves. Ben was faster than Lily. He wanted to be the first to jump. He did not look where he was going. He did not see the rock in the leaves. He speeded into the pile and hit the rock. He fell down and cried.
+
+Lily saw what happened. She was scared. She ran to Ben and tried to help him. She saw blood on his head. She saw a big bump. She saw a leaf stuck to his hair. She did not think it was impressive. She thought it was bad.
+
+She shouted for help. She hugged Ben and said sorry. She wished they did not play in the leaves. She wished they played somewhere else. She wished Ben was okay.
+Lily was a girl who liked to take things that were not hers. She saw a shiny toy car in the park and she wanted it. She did not ask the boy who was playing with it. She just took it and ran away.
+
+The boy was sad and angry. He cried and told his mom. His mom said, "That is not nice. That is stealing. We have to find the girl and get your car back."
+
+They looked for Lily and saw her near the gate. The boy pointed at her and said, "That is the girl who took my car. That is my car. Give it back."
+
+Lily was scared and ashamed. She knew she did wrong. She said, "I am sorry. I liked your car. It was shiny and fast. But it is not mine. It is yours. Here, take it back."
+
+The boy took his car and smiled. He said, "Thank you for giving it back. It is my original car. My dad gave it to me. It is special to me. Do you want to play with me and my car?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, I want to play with you and your car. But I will ask you first. And I will share my toys with you too. I have a doll and a ball. Do you want to see them?"
+
+They played together and had fun. They became friends. Lily learned to be honest and kind. She did not take things that were not hers anymore. She took her new friend home and showed him her toys. They shared and played some more. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben like to help their mom in the kitchen. Mom is making a cake for dad's birthday. She gives Anna and Ben a big bowl and a spoon. "You can mix the flour and the sugar for me," she says. "Be careful, don't spill."
+
+Anna and Ben take turns to stir the bowl. They like to see the white and brown powders become one. They sing a song as they mix. "Mix, mix, mix, we are making a cake. Mix, mix, mix, for dad's special day."
+
+Mom smiles and adds some eggs and butter to the bowl. She mixes everything together with a big whisk. The batter looks yellow and smooth. She pours it into a round pan. "Now we have to bake the cake in the oven," she says. "But first, we need to decorate it."
+
+She opens a drawer and takes out some colorful sprinkles. She puts them on a plate and hands it to Anna and Ben. "You can sprinkle these on top of the cake," she says. "But be gentle, they are delicate. Don't break them or drop them."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and walk to the pan. They pick up some sprinkles with their fingers and sprinkle them on the batter. They make patterns and shapes with the sprinkles. They use red, blue, green, and yellow. The cake looks pretty and fun. "We are done, mom," they say.
+
+Mom comes and looks at the cake. She is proud of Anna and Ben. "You did a great job, my sweeties," she says. "The cake looks beautiful. Dad will love it." She hugs them and kisses them. She puts the cake in the oven and sets the timer. "Now we have to wait for the cake to bake," she says. "Let's clean up the kitchen and then we can play a game."
+Anna and Ben are going to grandma's house for the weekend. They are very happy because they love grandma and her big garden. Mom tells them to pack their bags with clothes and toys.
+
+"Can I take my doll, Mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. Put her in your bag," Mom says.
+
+"Can I take my truck, Mom?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, honey. But don't forget your pajamas and toothbrush," Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben run to their room and open their cabinet. They take out their favorite things and put them in their bags. They also take some books and crayons. They zip their bags and carry them to the living room.
+
+"Are you ready, kids?" Dad asks. He is holding the car keys and a big smile.
+
+"Yes, Dad!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+They hug Mom and say goodbye. They follow Dad to the car and put their bags in the trunk. They buckle their seat belts and wave to Mom.
+
+"Have fun, my loves. Be good and alert at grandma's house," Mom says.
+
+"We will, Mom. We love you!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+The car drives away and Mom waves back. She is happy that her kids are excited and safe. She goes back to the house and closes the door. She has some time to relax and read a book. She is proud of her kids and how they can pack their bags by themselves.
+Ben and Lily were playing soccer in the park. They were on the same team and they were very enthusiastic. They wanted to score many goals and win the game.
+
+But there was a problem. The other team had a very big and strong player. His name was Max. He was very good at soccer and he always took the ball from Ben and Lily. He ran very fast and kicked very hard.
+
+"Stop him, stop him!" Ben shouted to Lily, as Max was running towards their goal. Lily tried to catch him, but he was too fast. She reached out her hand and pulled his shirt. Max stumbled and fell. The ball rolled away.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Max yelled. He was angry and hurt. He got up and pushed Lily. Lily fell down too. She started to cry.
+
+"Leave her alone!" Ben said. He ran to help Lily. He pushed Max back. Max pushed him again. They started to fight.
+
+The other players stopped playing and watched. They did not know what to do. They did not like fighting. They wanted to play soccer and have fun.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" a voice said. It was the coach. He saw the fight and came to stop it. He blew his whistle and called the players. He was not happy.
+
+"What is going on here?" he asked. "Why are you fighting? This is a game, not a war. You have to play fair and respect each other. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, coach," the players said. They felt sorry and ashamed. They apologized to each other and shook hands. They decided to play again, but this time, more friendly and less rough.
+
+The coach smiled and clapped his hands. He was glad they learned their lesson. He gave them some tips and encouragement. He was proud of his enthusiastic players. He hoped they would enjoy the game and have fun.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys and bubbles. They splash and laugh.
+
+One day, Mom gives them a new shampoo. It is large and pink. It smells good. Sara and Ben want to try it. They squeeze it on their hair and rub it. They make funny shapes with the foam.
+
+"Look at me, I have a mohawk!" Ben says.
+
+"I have a crown!" Sara says.
+
+They giggle and show each other their hair. They do not see that the shampoo makes the floor slippery.
+
+Sara gets out of the bath to get a towel. She steps on the floor and slips. She falls and hurts her elbow. She cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara says.
+
+Ben hears her and gets out of the bath too. He wants to help her. But he also slips on the floor. He falls and bumps his head. He cries too.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says.
+
+Mom hears them and runs to the bathroom. She sees them on the floor, wet and sad. She picks them up and hugs them. She dries them and puts a band-aid on their boo-boos. She tells them to be careful with the shampoo.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Sara says.
+
+"Me too, Mom," Ben says.
+
+Mom kisses them and says, "It's OK, my loves. You learned a lesson today. Shampoo is good for your hair, but not for the floor. Next time, use less and rinse well. And always watch your step."
+
+Sara and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom."
+
+They hug Mom and say, "We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, my sweeties."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. But sometimes they make a big mess in their room. Mom and Dad are not happy.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad say: "Tom and Mia, you have to sort your toys. Put the same toys in the same box. Then we can see the floor again."
+
+Tom and Mia do not want to sort their toys. They want to play. They say: "No, Mom and Dad, sorting is boring. We like our mess. It is our universe. We can make stories with our toys."
+
+Mom and Dad say: "We understand, but you have to sort your toys anyway. It is good to keep your room clean and tidy. And you can still make stories with your toys after you sort them. We will help you."
+
+Tom and Mia sigh. They start to sort their toys. They put the cars in one box, the dolls in another box, the blocks in a third box, and the books in a fourth box. But they have one toy that they do not know where to put. It is a big, hairy, purple monster. It has horns, teeth, and eyes. It can make noises and move.
+
+Tom and Mia look at the monster. They look at each other. They say: "Where does the monster go? It is not a car, or a doll, or a block, or a book. It is different from all our toys. It is our favorite toy."
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They say: "The monster is a special toy. It does not need a box. It can stay on your bed. It can watch over you when you sleep. It can be your friend. It is part of your universe."
+
+Tom and Mia hug the monster. They say: "Thank you, Mom and Dad. We love our monster. We love our toys. We love our universe. And we love you."
+
+Mom and Dad hug Tom and Mia. They say: "We love you too. You did a good job sorting your toys. Now you can play with them. But remember to put them back in their boxes when you are done."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They say: "OK, Mom and Dad. We will remember. Can we play with the monster now?"
+
+Mom and Dad say: "Yes, you can. Have fun. But do not make too much noise. The monster might scare the neighbors."
+
+Tom and Mia laugh. They say: "OK, Mom and Dad. We will be quiet. The monster is nice. It will not scare anyone."
+
+They take the monster to their bed. They make stories with it. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom are hungry. They look for something to eat in the kitchen. They see a big box on the table. It says "cheese" on it.
+
+"Let's open it!" Lily says. She and Tom climb on the chairs and pull the box down. They rip the paper and see a yellow block inside.
+
+"Wow, cheese!" Tom says. He breaks a piece and puts it in his mouth. He makes a face and spits it out. "Yuck, this cheese is bitter!"
+
+Lily laughs. She takes a piece and tries it too. She also spits it out. "You are right, Tom. This cheese is not good. It is too old and hard."
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is Mom. She looks angry. "What are you doing with my cheese?" she asks. "That is not for you. That is for cooking. It is a special cheese."
+
+Lily and Tom feel sorry. They say "sorry, Mom" and give her the cheese. Mom sighs and hugs them. "It's okay, my loves. But next time, ask me before you take something. I have some other cheese for you. It is soft and sweet. Do you want some?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They follow Mom to the fridge. They find some white cheese with holes. Mom cuts some slices and gives them to Lily and Tom. They bite and smile. "This cheese is good!" they say. "Thank you, Mom!"
+
+Mom smiles too. She is happy that Lily and Tom like the cheese. She says "You are welcome, my loves. Now, let's have some bread and fruit too. Then we can read a story together. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Tom say "yes, please!" They love Mom and her cheese. They are not hungry anymore. They are happy.
+Lila likes to play violin. She has a long violin with four strings. She can make nice sounds with it. She plays violin every day in her room.
+
+One day, Lila hears some music from outside. She looks out the window and sees some kids playing in the park. They have drums and guitars and flutes. They are having fun. Lila wants to join them.
+
+She runs to the park with her violin. She says hello to the kids. She asks if she can play with them. The kids look at her and laugh. They say her violin is too big and too old. They say she cannot play with them. They say she should go away.
+
+Lila feels sad and angry. She does not want to go away. She wants to show them she can play well. She starts to play her violin very loud. She plays fast and hard. She does not care about the music. She only wants to make noise.
+
+But then, something bad happens. Her violin breaks. One of the strings snaps and hits her face. It hurts a lot. She drops her violin and cries. The kids laugh even more. They call her a baby. They say she is stupid. They say she broke her violin because she does not know how to play.

+Lila runs back to her home. She is bleeding and crying. She does not have her violin anymore. She does not have any friends. She feels very lonely and sad. She wishes she never went to the park. She wishes she stayed in her room and played her violin. She wishes she had a different violin. She wishes she had a different life.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to rock on her chair. She would rock back and forth, faster and faster, until she felt like she was flying. She liked to rock so much that she did not want to share her chair with anyone else.
+
+One day, a stranger came to visit her house. He was a friend of her mom and dad, and he had a big smile and a funny hat. He said hello to Lily and asked if he could sit on her chair. Lily said no, and rocked even faster. She did not want to let the stranger sit on her chair.
+
+The stranger was sad, and he told Lily that he had a gift for her. He said he had a book with beautiful pictures and stories. He said he wanted to read it to her, but he needed a place to sit. Lily looked at the book, and she felt curious. She liked books, and she wanted to see the pictures and hear the stories. But she still did not want to share her chair.
+
+Then, she saw something that made her change her mind. She saw a picture of a girl who looked like her, rocking on a chair. But the girl was not happy. She was lonely, and she had no friends. She had pushed everyone away, because she did not want to share her chair. Lily felt sorry for the girl, and she realized that she was being selfish. She decided to be kind, and she stopped rocking. She got off her chair, and she invited the stranger to sit on it. She said she was sorry, and she asked him to read the book to her.
+
+The stranger was happy, and he thanked Lily. He sat on the chair, and he opened the book. He read the stories to Lily, and he showed her the pictures. They were stories about sharing, and being friendly, and having fun. They were pictures of animals, and flowers, and stars. Lily liked the stories, and she liked the pictures. She also liked the stranger, and she smiled at him. He smiled back, and he rocked the chair gently. He rocked it with grace, and he made Lily feel calm and cozy. Lily learned that sharing is good, and that strangers can be friends. She was glad that she had rocked her chair, but she was happier that she had shared it.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to read stories. Every night, their mom would read them a story from a big book with many pictures. They liked stories about animals, princesses, pirates, and magic.
+
+One night, mom read them a story about a wizard who could make things disappear. He would wave his wand and say a funny word, and something would vanish. Lily and Ben thought that was very cool. They wished they had a wand like that.
+
+After mom said good night and turned off the light, Lily and Ben whispered to each other. They wanted to try to make things disappear. They looked around their room and saw their toys, their clothes, their books, and their snacks. They decided to start with their snacks, because they were yummy.
+
+They got out of bed and tiptoed to their table. They each grabbed a cookie and held it in their hand. Then they pretended to have a wand and said the funny word from the story. "Abracadabra!"
+
+They opened their eyes and looked at their hands. The cookies were gone! They gasped and smiled. It worked! They made their snacks disappear!
+
+But then they heard a crunching sound. They turned around and saw their dog, Spot, licking his lips. He had eaten their cookies! He wagged his tail and looked at them with his big eyes.
+
+Lily and Ben laughed. They realized they did not make their snacks disappear. They just threw them to their dog. They hugged Spot and gave him a pat. Then they went back to bed and dreamed of more stories.
+Anna and Lily were best friends. They liked to play dress-up and pretend to be models. They had many clothes and accessories to try on. One day, they found a big hat with feathers and flowers. It was very pretty and fancy.
+
+"Wow, look at this hat!" Anna said. "It is so fashion! Can I wear it?"
+
+"Sure, you can wear it first," Lily said. "But then you have to give it to me. I want to wear it too."
+
+Anna put on the hat and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt very happy and proud. She waved at Lily and said, "Hello, I am a fashion star! Do you like my hat?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She waited for Anna to give her the hat. But Anna did not give her the hat. She kept wearing it and waving at the mirror. She did not care about Lily's feelings. She was very selfish.
+
+"Anna, can I have the hat now?" Lily asked. "You said you would give it to me."
+
+"No, I want to keep it," Anna said. "It is my hat. You can't have it. Go away."
+
+Lily felt very sad and angry. She did not like Anna anymore. She said, "You are a bad friend. You are not a fashion star. You are a selfish meanie. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+She left the room and went to find another friend. Anna was left alone with the hat. She realized that she had made a big mistake. She had lost her best friend because of a silly hat. She felt very sorry and lonely. She wished she had shared the hat with Lily. She learned that being selfish is not good. She hoped that Lily would forgive her. She decided to be a better friend.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the bathroom. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around the bathroom and saw a big white towel hanging on the door. She thought Ben might be hiding behind it. She walked to the door and tried to peek behind the towel. But the towel was too heavy and she could not move it.
+
+"Ben, are you there?" she asked.
+
+No answer.
+
+Lily saw a shiny thing on the sink. It was a razor. She did not know what it was, but it looked interesting. She reached for it with her little hand. She wanted to touch it and see what it did.
+
+"Stop, Lily, don't touch that!" Ben shouted.
+
+He came out from behind the shower curtain. He had been hiding there all along. He ran to the sink and took the razor away from Lily. He put it back on the sink, far from her reach.
+
+"That is not a toy, Lily. That is a razor. It is sharp and it can hurt you. You can cut yourself and bleed. Only grown-ups can use it. You have to be careful in the bathroom. There are many things that are not safe for us," he explained.
+
+Lily looked at Ben with big eyes. She did not mean to do anything bad. She was just curious. She felt sorry and scared.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not know. Thank you for saving me. You are a good brother," she said.
+
+Ben smiled and hugged Lily. He was glad she was okay. He was a good brother.
+
+"Come on, Lily. Let's go play somewhere else. The bathroom is not a good place to hide. How about the living room? There are many pillows and blankets there. We can make a fort and pretend we are in a castle," he suggested.
+
+Lily nodded and followed Ben. She liked the idea of a fort and a castle. She forgot about the razor and the towel. She was happy to play with Ben. They were good friends.
+Jenny and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set that their dad gave them. The train set had many pieces that could make different tracks and bridges. Jenny and Tom liked to make the longest and highest tracks they could.
+
+One day, they decided to make a very big track that went all over the living room. They worked hard and used all the pieces they had. They were very proud of their track and wanted to show it to their mom and dad. They looked at the clock and saw that it was almost noon. They knew that their mom and dad would come home soon from work.
+
+"Let's go and wait for them outside," Jenny said. "We can surprise them with our track when they come in."
+
+"OK," Tom said. "But we have to be careful not to break the track. It is very fragile and can fall apart easily."
+
+They put on their coats and shoes and went outside. They left the door open so they could hear when their mom and dad arrived. They waited and waited, but they did not hear anything. They did not know that a big wind had started to blow.
+
+The wind was very strong and it went inside the house. It blew the curtains, the papers, and the pillows. It also blew the train set. The pieces of the track flew in the air and crashed on the floor. The train set was broken and ruined.
+
+Jenny and Tom heard a loud noise and ran back inside. They saw the mess and cried. They had worked so hard and succeeded in making a big track, but now it was gone. They felt very sad and angry.
+
+Their mom and dad came home and saw the disaster. They asked what had happened and Jenny and Tom told them. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry. They said they were proud of them for making such a big track, but they also said they should have been more careful.
+
+They said that sometimes things can go wrong and we have to accept it. They said that we should not leave our things unattended and exposed to danger. They said that we should always protect what we love and value.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful with your belongings and don't take them for granted.
+Tim and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play in the garden, but sometimes they fought. One day, they found a big mushroom under a tree. It was red and white and looked like a hat.
+
+"Wow, look at this mushroom!" Lily said. "It's so pretty and big. I want to pick it and take it home."
+
+"No, you can't!" Tim said. "It's mine. I saw it first. You always want what I have. You are a bad sister."
+
+He grabbed the mushroom and pulled it hard. Lily was upset. She tried to get it back, but Tim was stronger. He ran away with the mushroom and teased her.
+
+"Ha ha, I have the mushroom and you don't. You are a baby. You can cry all you want, but you can't have it."
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She followed Tim and shouted at him.
+
+"Give me the mushroom, Tim! It's not fair. You are a mean brother. You don't share. You don't care."
+
+Tim didn't listen. He kept running and laughing. He thought he was clever and funny. He didn't see the big hole in the ground. He tripped and fell. The mushroom flew out of his hand and landed on a rock. It broke into pieces.
+
+Tim was hurt. He scraped his knee and elbow. He cried out loud. He wanted his mom. He looked at the mushroom and felt sorry. He wished he hadn't been so selfish and rude.
+
+Lily heard Tim's cry and ran to him. She saw him lying on the ground and the mushroom smashed. She felt sorry for him too. She forgot her anger and tried to help him.
+
+"Are you okay, Tim? I'm sorry you fell. Let me see your knee and elbow. We can go to mom and she can make it better."
+
+But Tim didn't want Lily's help. He pushed her away and yelled at her.
+
+"Go away, Lily! You are a bad sister. You made me fall. You broke the mushroom. You are the worst. I hate you."
+
+Lily was shocked and hurt. She didn't make him fall. She didn't break the mushroom. She wanted to be nice. She didn't understand why Tim was so mean. She ran away crying. She hated him too.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their mom. It was a cold day, so mom gave them each a sweater to wear. Lily liked her sweater. It was pink and soft and had a picture of a bunny on it. Max did not like his sweater. It was blue and scratchy and had a picture of a truck on it.
+
+"Mom, I don't want to wear this sweater!" Max said. He tried to take it off, but mom stopped him.
+
+"Max, you need to wear your sweater. It is cold outside and you don't want to get sick," mom said.
+
+"But mom, this sweater is too large for me. It covers my hands and my feet. And it is not nice. It makes me itch and it is ugly," Max said. He complained and complained.
+
+Lily looked at Max and shook her head. She thought he was being silly and rude. She liked her sweater and she liked the park. She wanted to have fun with mom and Max.
+
+"Max, stop complaining. Your sweater is not too large. It is just right. And it is not ugly. It is cool. It has a truck on it. You like trucks, don't you?" Lily said.
+
+Max looked at his sweater again. He saw the truck on it. He did like trucks. He liked to play with them and make noises with them. He thought maybe his sweater was not so bad after all.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Maybe you are right. Maybe my sweater is cool. And maybe it is not too large. Maybe it is cozy. And maybe it does not itch so much. Maybe I can wear it and play with you and mom," Max said.
+
+Lily smiled and gave Max a hug. She was happy that he stopped complaining. She took his hand and they ran to the slide. Mom followed them and smiled too. She was glad that they were wearing their sweaters and having fun. She thought they were both very sweet and smart.
+Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and cars. But sometimes they want the same blocks. Then they fight.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily are playing with blocks. Tim sees a big red block. He wants it for his tower. He grabs it from Lily's house. Lily is upset. She says, "That is my block! Give it back!"
+
+Tim says, "No, I need it for my tower! It is mine now!"
+
+Lily says, "No, it is not! You are mean! I will not play with you!"
+
+They push and pull the block. The block breaks in half. Tim and Lily are shocked. They look at the broken block. They look at each other. They feel sad.
+
+They say, "We are sorry. We broke the block. We were selfish. We did not share."
+
+They hug and say, "We are friends. We can share. We can fix the block. We can play together."
+
+They glue the block back together. They use it for their tower and their house. They are happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Fighting is bad. Friends are good.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys on the floor. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They made noises and stories with their toys. They had fun.
+
+But Dad was in his room. He was working on his computer. He had a lot of papers and numbers to do. He was grumpy. He did not like noises and stories. He wanted quiet.
+
+He came out of his room and saw Lily and Max on the floor. He said in a loud voice, "Stop playing! You are disturbing me! Go to your room or outside! I need to work!"
+
+Lily and Max were scared and sad. They did not want to stop playing. They did not want to go to their room or outside. They liked the floor. They said, "But Dad, we are just playing. We are not disturbing you. We are being good."
+
+Dad did not listen. He was too grumpy. He said, "No, you are not being good. You are being noisy and messy. Go away! Now!"
+
+Lily and Max picked up their toys and went to their room. They did not play anymore. They were quiet and sad. They did not like Dad when he was grumpy. They wished he would be nice and play with them. They hoped he would finish his work soon.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park near their house. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and sharp teeth.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Ben says. "Let's go and pet it!"
+
+Lily is scared of the dog. She remembers what her mom told her. "No, Ben, we can't. Mom said we should not touch strange dogs. They might bite us. We should be polite and stay away."
+
+Ben does not listen to Lily. He runs to the dog and tries to hug it. The dog does not like Ben. It growls and barks at him. It snaps at his hand.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cries. "The dog hurt me!"
+
+Lily runs to Ben and helps him. She sees blood on his hand. She is very worried. She warns Ben. "Ben, we have to go home. We have to tell mom. She will make your hand better."
+
+Ben nods. He is sorry he did not listen to Lily. He is sorry he was not polite to the dog. He holds Lily's hand and they run to their house. Mom sees them and hugs them. She cleans Ben's hand and puts a bandage on it. She tells them they are brave and good. She also tells them they should always be careful and polite around animals. Ben and Lily agree. They say they are sorry and they love mom. Mom smiles and kisses them. She says she loves them too. They are happy. They are friends.
+Ben liked to ride his bike. He rode it every day in the park. He had a red bike with a bell and a basket. He was very happy on his bike.
+
+One day, he saw a big dog in the park. The dog was brown and furry. It had a staff in its mouth. The staff was long and shiny. Ben wanted to see the staff. He rode his bike closer to the dog.
+
+"Hello, dog," Ben said. "Can I see your staff?"
+
+The dog growled at Ben. It did not want to share its staff. It was a rude dog. It barked and snapped at Ben. Ben was scared. He tried to ride away, but the dog chased him. Ben cried for help.
+
+A lady heard Ben's cry. She ran to him. She had a leash in her hand. She was the dog's owner. She grabbed the dog and put the leash on it.
+
+"I'm sorry, little boy," she said. "My dog is not friendly. He doesn't like strangers. He thinks the staff is his toy. You should not go near him."
+
+Ben was angry and sad. He did not like the dog or the lady. He thought they were both rude. He said, "You should teach your dog to be nice. You should not let him have a staff. It is not a toy. It is for people who work. You are a bad owner."
+
+The lady was ashamed. She knew Ben was right. She said, "You are very brave and smart, little boy. You are right. I should teach my dog to be nice. I should not let him have a staff. It is not a toy. It is for people who work. I am a bad owner. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Ben nodded. He was still angry and sad, but he was also kind. He said, "I forgive you. But please be careful with your dog. And please give the staff back to the people who work. They need it."
+
+The lady thanked Ben. She took the staff from the dog's mouth. She looked for the people who work. She found them near a truck. They were fixing a pipe. They were happy to see their staff. They thanked the lady and Ben.
+
+Ben smiled. He was glad he helped the people who work. He learned a lesson. He learned that some things are not toys. He learned that some dogs are not friendly. He learned that some people are rude. But he also learned that he can be brave and smart and kind. He rode his bike home. He was very happy on his bike.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big group of birds on the grass. They want to feed the birds some bread.
+
+"Look, Anna, so many birds!" Ben says. "Let's give them some bread."
+
+"OK, Ben, but we have to be gentle. We don't want to scare them," Anna says.
+
+They break the bread into small pieces. They walk slowly to the group of birds. They stretch their arms and drop the bread on the ground. The birds see the bread and come closer. They peck the bread and make happy noises.
+
+"Wow, they like the bread!" Ben says. "They are not afraid of us."
+
+"Maybe they are our friends, too," Anna says. "They are so pretty and soft."
+
+They smile and watch the birds eat the bread. They feel happy and warm. They are gentle with the birds and the birds are gentle with them. They have a fun time in the park.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toy soldiers and cars in the living room. They liked to imagine that they were in a war and had to fight the bad guys. They made loud noises and moved their toys around the carpet.
+
+"Bang! Bang! You're dead, Ben!" Lila shouted, as she pointed her toy gun at her brother.
+
+"No, I'm not! You missed me, Lila!" Ben said, as he dodged behind a pillow. "I have a rocket launcher and I'm going to blow you up!"
+
+Lila and Ben laughed and continued their game. They did not know what war really was. They only knew it was fun to pretend.
+
+Mom came into the living room and saw the mess they had made. She was not happy. She had to clean the house and get ready for dinner. She did not have time to play.
+
+"Kids, stop playing with your toys and put them away. It's time to eat," Mom said.
+
+"But Mom, we're having fun! We're in a war!" Lila said.
+
+"War is not fun, Lila. War is bad. War hurts people and makes them sad. You don't want to be in a war," Mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben looked at Mom. They did not understand. They did not want to hurt anyone or make anyone sad. They just wanted to play.
+
+"Can we play something else, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, you can play something else. But first, you have to put away your toys and wash your hands. Then you can have dinner and dessert. I have a surprise for you. I made your favorite cake," Mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben smiled. They liked cake. They decided to stop playing war and do what Mom said. They put away their toys and washed their hands. They were hungry and curious. They wondered what kind of cake Mom had made. They hoped it was chocolate. They liked chocolate. They did not like war.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They love to play with their toys and read books. One day, their mom has news for them. She says, "I have a big surprise for you. You are going to have a baby brother soon!"
+
+Ben and Lily are very happy. They hug their mom and ask, "When will the baby come? Can we help you with the baby? What will we name him?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "The baby will come in a few months. You can help me by being good and kind to each other. And you can help me choose a name for him. Do you have any ideas?"
+
+Ben and Lily think hard. They want to give their baby brother a wise name. A name that will make him smart and brave. Ben says, "How about Max? Max is a strong name. He can be a superhero like Max Steel." Lily says, "How about Leo? Leo is a cool name. He can be a king like Leo the Lion."
+
+Mom says, "Those are both nice names. But maybe we can find a name that has both strength and coolness. How about Rex? Rex means king in Latin. And Rex is also a dinosaur name. Dinosaurs are strong and cool, right?"
+
+Ben and Lily agree. They like Rex. They say, "Yes, Rex is a perfect name. We love Rex. We can't wait to meet him."
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I love you, Ben and Lily. You are the best twins ever. And I'm sure Rex will love you too. You will be a wonderful family."
+One day, a frog and a duck were playing by the pond. They liked to swim and splash and chase each other. The frog was good at jumping and the duck was good at flying.
+
+"Let's play a new game," said the frog. "I can spin very fast and make a big splash. Can you do that?"
+
+The duck tried to spin in the water, but he only made a small splash. He felt sad and said, "No, I can't spin like you. You are better than me."
+
+The frog saw that the duck was sad and said, "Don't be sad, duck. You can do something that I can't do. You can fly very high and see the whole pond. I can only see a little bit. You are better than me."
+
+The duck smiled and said, "Thank you, frog. You are very kind and wise. You are my friend."
+
+The frog and the duck hugged and said, "We are friends. We can do different things, but we are both good and fun."
+
+Then they continued to play by the pond, spinning and flying and laughing. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were heroes and villains. Lily was the hero and Ben was the villain. They ran and jumped and chased each other.
+
+"Stop, villain! You are very smelly and bad!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, hero! You are very silly and weak!" Ben shouted back.
+
+They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then they saw a big dog. The dog was angry and barked loud. It ran towards them. Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Help, help!" they cried.
+
+Then they saw a man. The man was kind and brave. He had a leash in his hand. He ran to the dog and put the leash on it. He calmed the dog and said sorry to Lily and Ben.
+
+"Are you okay, kids? I'm sorry, my dog got loose. He is not mean, just scared. He needs to change and be more friendly."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were okay, but still a little scared.
+
+"Thank you, mister. You are a real hero!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, thank you. You are not smelly or bad!" Ben said.
+
+The man smiled and patted their heads. He walked away with his dog.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were happy and safe.
+
+They decided to change their game. They did not want to be heroes and villains anymore. They wanted to be friends and helpers. They played and helped each other. They had more fun.
+Lily and Sam were going on a tour with their mom and dad. They wanted to see the big animals at the zoo. But when they woke up, they saw that the sky was gloomy and it was raining hard.
+
+"Oh no, we can't go to the zoo in the rain!" Lily said, feeling sad.
+
+"Maybe it will stop soon," Sam said, trying to be hopeful.
+
+They ate their breakfast and waited for the rain to stop. But it did not stop. It rained and rained and rained.
+
+"Mom, dad, can we still go to the zoo?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, sweetie, but the zoo is closed today because of the rain. We'll have to go another day," mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam felt very disappointed. They wanted to see the lions and the elephants and the monkeys. They did not want to stay at home.
+
+"Can we do something fun at home?" Sam asked.
+
+"Of course we can. We can play games, read books, draw pictures, and make cookies. How does that sound?" dad said.
+
+Lily and Sam smiled a little. They liked playing games, reading books, drawing pictures, and making cookies. They decided to make the best of the rainy day.
+
+"Okay, dad, let's do that. But can we go to the zoo when it stops raining?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, we'll go to the zoo as soon as we can. I promise," dad said.
+
+Lily and Sam hugged their mom and dad. They knew they loved them very much. They hoped the rain would stop soon, but they also knew they could have fun at home.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the yard. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a red car. The car was long and shiny, and it made a loud noise when they pushed it. They pretended to be mechanics and fixed the car when it broke.
+
+One day, they found a big hole in the yard. They wondered what was in the hole. They decided to bury the car in the hole and see what would happen. They pushed the car into the hole and covered it with dirt. They waited for a while, then dug it up again.
+
+"Look, Lily, the car is dirty!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe it needs a wash," Lily said.
+
+They took the car to the hose and sprayed it with water. The car was clean again, but it did not make a loud noise anymore. It was quiet and still.
+
+"Oh no, Tom, the car is broken!" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it needs a mechanic," Tom said.
+
+They looked around for a mechanic, but they could not find one. They saw their dad coming home from work. He was a mechanic. He wore a blue suit and had a toolbox.
+
+"Dad, dad, can you fix our car?" Tom and Lily asked.
+
+"Your car? What happened to it?" Dad asked.
+
+"We buried it in the hole and then we washed it, but it does not work anymore," Tom and Lily said.
+
+Dad looked at the car and shook his head. He opened his toolbox and took out some tools. He tried to fix the car, but it was too damaged.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids, but this car is beyond repair. You should not bury your toys in the hole. You might damage them or lose them," Dad said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad. They liked their car. They hugged their dad and said they were sorry.
+
+"It's okay, kids, I know you were just having fun. But next time, be more careful with your toys. How about we go to the store and buy a new car? Maybe a green one or a yellow one?" Dad said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They liked the idea of a new car. They thanked their dad and went with him to the store. They hoped the new car would be long and shiny and make a loud noise. They also hoped they would not bury it in the hole again.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Ben was a lion and Lily was a bunny. They roared and hopped around the couch and the rug.
+
+"Rawr! I'm going to catch you, bunny!" Ben said.
+
+"No, no, lion! You can't catch me, I'm too fast!" Lily said.
+
+They laughed and chased each other until they were tired. They decided to take a nap on the couch. They snuggled with their blankets and pillows. Ben had a blue blanket and Lily had a pink one. They also had their favorite stuffed animals. Ben had a gray elephant and Lily had a funny monkey.
+
+"Good night, lion," Lily said.
+
+"Good night, bunny," Ben said.
+
+They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of more adventures in the jungle. They were happy and cozy. Their mom smiled and watched them. She was proud of her little lion and bunny. She kissed them on their heads and turned off the light.
+Tom was an adventurous boy. He liked to explore new places and try new things. One day, he saw a big hill near his house. He wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. He asked his mom if he could go, but she said no. She said it was too far and too dangerous. She said he could play in the yard instead.
+
+But Tom did not accept what his mom said. He waited until she was busy and then he ran out of the house. He ran to the big hill and started to climb. He felt happy and excited. He did not see the rocks and the thorns that were on the hill. He did not hear his mom calling his name.
+
+He reached the top of the hill and looked around. He saw a lot of trees and flowers and birds. He also saw a big road with many cars and trucks. He wanted to cross the road and see more. He did not know that the road was very busy and very dangerous. He did not see the sign that said "Stop".
+
+He ran to the road and tried to cross. He did not look left and right. He did not see the big truck that was coming fast. He did not hear the horn that was honking loud. He only felt a big hit and a lot of pain.
+
+He fell to the ground and did not get up. He had a big cut on his head and a lot of blood on his clothes. He could not move or talk or breathe. He was very hurt and very scared. He wanted his mom to come and help him. He wanted to go back to his house and play in the yard. But it was too late. He had made a big mistake and he could not fix it. He closed his eyes and did not open them again.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. They felt very lucky to have such a luxury toy, because not all their friends had one.
+
+One day, they invited their friend Lily to play with them. Lily was very happy to see the dollhouse, and wanted to try it. She asked Sara and Ben if she could move some of the dolls and furniture around. Sara and Ben said yes, but they also told her to be careful and not break anything.
+
+Lily nodded and started to play. She moved a doll from the bedroom to the kitchen, and then to the living room. She pretended that the doll was having a busy day. She also moved some of the furniture to make more space. She moved a sofa from the living room to the garden, and a table from the kitchen to the bedroom.
+
+Sara and Ben watched her, and felt a little annoyed. They did not like how Lily changed their dollhouse. They liked it the way it was. They wanted to tell her to stop, but they did not want to be rude. They hoped that Lily would finish soon and put everything back.
+
+But Lily did not finish soon. She kept playing and moving things around. She even moved a lamp from the bedroom to the bathroom, and plugged it in. She did not notice that the lamp was too big for the bathroom, and that the cord was too short. She turned on the lamp, and then there was a loud pop and a flash. The lamp broke, and the bathroom went dark.
+
+Lily screamed and dropped the lamp. She ran out of the bathroom, and saw Sara and Ben staring at her. She felt very scared and sorry. She did not mean to break the lamp. She just wanted to play.
+
+Sara and Ben felt very angry and sad. They loved their lamp. It was a gift from their grandma. They could not believe that Lily broke it. They also felt very embarrassed. They did not want their mom to see the mess. They did not know what to say.
+
+Lily started to cry. She apologized to Sara and Ben, and said she would pay for the lamp. She said she did not know it was so important. She said she was just having fun.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They felt a little sorry for Lily. They knew she was not a bad friend. They knew she did not do it on purpose. They also remembered that they had broken things before, and their mom had forgiven them. They decided to forgive Lily too.
+
+They hugged Lily and told her it was okay. They said they were still friends. They said they would help her clean up the dollhouse. They said they would tell their mom the truth, and hope she would not be too mad.
+
+Lily smiled and thanked them. She felt very relieved and grateful. She said she would be more careful next time. She said she liked their dollhouse, but she liked them more.
+
+They all smiled and went back to the dollhouse. They worked together to put everything back in order. They also found a new place for the broken lamp. They put it in the attic, and pretended that it was a treasure. They said they would fix it someday, when they were older.
+
+They finished cleaning up, and then played some more. They had fun, and forgot about the bitter feeling. They learned that accidents happen, and that friends forgive. They learned that luxury is nice, but friendship is nicer. They learned that embarrassment is not so bad, when you have someone to share it with.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to chew. She chewed on her toys, her clothes, and her hair. She even chewed on her cup, which made her mom very mad. Mom said, "Lily, stop chewing on your cup! You will break it and hurt your teeth!" But Lily did not listen. She liked the sound and the feeling of chewing on her cup.
+
+One day, Lily was chewing on her cup in the living room. She saw a big, black bug on the floor. It had many legs and a shiny shell. Lily was curious. She wanted to see the bug up close. She put down her cup and crawled to the bug. The bug saw Lily and was scared. It ran away from her. Lily chased the bug. She wanted to catch it and chew on it.
+
+The bug ran under the sofa. Lily followed it. She reached under the sofa with her hand. She felt something furry and warm. She grabbed it and pulled it out. It was not the bug. It was her cat, Max. Max was not happy. He was sleeping under the sofa and did not like to be disturbed. He hissed and scratched Lily's hand. Lily cried out in pain and let go of Max. Max ran away from Lily. He was angry and scared.
+
+Mom heard Lily's cry and came to the living room. She saw Lily's hand bleeding and her cup on the floor. She was worried and angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do? Did you chew on your cup again? Did you hurt yourself or Max?" Lily was sad and sorry. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I did not chew on my cup. I saw a bug and wanted to chew on it. But I did not find the bug. I found Max and he scratched me. I did not mean to hurt him or me." Mom hugged Lily and said, "Lily, I love you, but you have to stop chewing on things that are not food. You can hurt yourself or others. You have to be more careful and alert. Do you understand?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I will not chew on things that are not food. I will be more careful and alert." Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. Now let me clean your hand and give you a band-aid. And please, leave Max alone. He needs his nap." Lily said, "OK, Mom. I'm sorry, Max. I love you, too." Mom and Lily went to the bathroom. Lily learned her lesson. She did not chew on her cup or anything else that was not food. She was more careful and alert. And she and Max became friends again. The end.
+Timmy liked to play with his dad's things. He liked to wear his hat and his tie and pretend he was a big man. He liked to look at his books and his tools and his pictures. But there was one thing he was not allowed to touch: his dad's razor. His dad said it was very sharp and could hurt him. He said he used it to shave his beard and make his face smooth. Timmy did not understand why his dad needed to do that. He thought his dad looked good with his beard.
+
+One day, when his dad was at work and his mom was busy in the kitchen, Timmy saw the razor on the bathroom sink. It looked shiny and mysterious. He wanted to see how it felt. He reached for it with his little hand. He did not hear his mom calling his name.
+
+"Timmy, where are you? Come here, please!" his mom said.
+
+Timmy ignored her. He grabbed the razor and brought it to his face. He felt a sting and a warm wetness. He dropped the razor and screamed. He saw blood on his cheek and on the floor. He was scared and hurt.
+
+His mom heard his scream and ran to the bathroom. She saw Timmy crying and bleeding. She saw the razor on the floor. She understood what had happened. She was angry and worried. She grabbed a towel and pressed it on Timmy's wound. She hugged him and tried to calm him down.
+
+"Timmy, what did you do? Why did you touch the razor? You know you are not supposed to do that. It is very dangerous. You could have cut yourself badly. You are lucky it is not worse. You need to listen to me and your dad. We tell you things for your own good. We love you and we don't want you to get hurt. Do you understand?" she said.
+
+Timmy nodded. He was sorry and ashamed. He understood he had done something wrong. He loved his mom and his dad. He did not want to make them mad or sad. He said he was sorry and he would not do it again.
+
+His mom kissed him and said she forgave him. She said she would take him to the doctor to check his wound. She said he would be okay. She said she loved him. Timmy hugged her and said he loved her too. He learned his lesson. He would never touch the razor again.
+Ben and Lily are playing with paper and crayons. They like to print pictures of things they see. Ben prints a boat with a big anchor. Lily prints a fish with a smile.
+
+"Look at my boat!" Ben says. "It has a strong anchor to hold it in the water."
+
+"Look at my fish!" Lily says. "It has a happy smile to make friends."
+
+Ben and Lily show each other their pictures. They are proud of their work.
+
+But then, a terrible thing happens. A gust of wind blows through the window. It takes Ben's boat and Lily's fish and carries them away.
+
+"Hey, come back!" Ben shouts. "That's my boat!"
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily cries. "That's my fish!"
+
+Ben and Lily run to the window. They see their pictures flying in the air. They are sad and angry.
+
+They look at each other. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's work together!" Ben says.
+
+"Let's make a new picture!" Lily says.
+
+They grab more paper and crayons. They print a big sun with a smile. They print a cloud with a raindrop. They print a rainbow with many colors.
+
+They tape their picture to the wall. They smile at each other.
+
+"Look at our sun!" Ben says. "It has a bright smile to make us happy."
+
+"Look at our rainbow!" Lily says. "It has many colors to make us wonder."
+
+Ben and Lily hug each other. They are proud of their work.
+
+They forget about the wind and their lost pictures. They are happy with their new picture. They are happy with their friend.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big slide. It is red and yellow and blue. It looks fun.
+
+"Let's slide!" Anna says. She runs to the slide. She climbs up the steps. She sits on the slide. She slides down fast. She laughs.

+
+"Wow!" Anna says. She looks at the will. "It is very nice. Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure," Tom says. He gives his will to Anna. She holds it. She feels it. She likes it.
+
+"Can I try it?" Ben says. He goes to Tom. He looks at the will. He wants it.
+

+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big dog named Rex who was their best friend. Rex loved to run and jump and chase balls with them.
+
+One day, Tim and Sam found a bottle in the shed. It had a skull and bones on it and a word they could not read. They wondered what it was and what it did.
+
+"Maybe it is a drink for Rex," Tim said. "He must be thirsty after playing so much."
+
+Sam was not sure. He felt anxious in his tummy. He remembered that Mom and Dad always told them not to touch things they did not know.
+
+"I don't think so, Tim," Sam said. "It looks bad. It might be poison. Poison can make Rex sick or hurt him. We should leave it alone and tell Mom and Dad."
+
+But Tim did not listen. He was curious and wanted to try. He opened the bottle and poured some of the liquid into Rex's bowl. He called Rex and said, "Come here, boy. I have a treat for you. Come and feed."
+
+Rex heard Tim and ran to the bowl. He sniffed the liquid and licked it. He did not like it. It tasted bitter and made him cough. He spat it out and whined.
+
+Tim and Sam saw Rex's face and heard his noise. They realized they had made a mistake. They felt scared and sorry. They ran to Rex and hugged him. They hoped he would be okay.
+
+"Rex, Rex, we are so sorry," they said. "We did not mean to hurt you. We love you. Please be okay."
+
+They heard Mom and Dad coming back from the store. They decided to tell them the truth and ask for help. They hoped Mom and Dad would not be angry and would know what to do. They hoped Rex would forgive them and would still be their best friend.

+
+One day, Sara's mom told her that they were going to have a party for her birthday. She said Sara could invite some friends to come and have cake and games.

+Lily liked to play the flute. She had a pink flute that made nice sounds. She learned how to play from her mom, who also had a flute. Sometimes they played together and made music.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and her flute. She saw some birds on a tree. She wanted to play with them. She took out her flute and played a song. The birds listened and sang back. Lily was happy. She enjoyed playing with the birds.

+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We can get you a new flute. You are fine. The dog was just curious. He didn't mean to scare you or take your flute. Maybe he liked your music too."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love playing the flute. Maybe the dog will enjoy it too."
+Anna and Ben are twins, but they are very different. Anna likes to play with dolls and dress up. Ben likes to play with cars and trucks. They have a big yard with many toys, but they always want the same one.
+
+One day, they see a new toy in the yard. It is a big ball with many colors. It looks unique and fun. Anna and Ben both run to get it.
+
+"I saw it first!" Anna says. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Ben says. "It is mine!"
+
+They both grab the ball and pull. They start to yell and cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes out. She sees them fighting over the ball.
+
+"Stop it, Anna and Ben!" Mom says. "Why are you fighting? You have so many toys to share."
+
+"But this one is unique!" Anna says. "I want it!"
+
+"Me too!" Ben says. "I want it!"
+
+Mom shakes her head. She has an idea.
+
+"How about this?" Mom says. "You can take turns with the ball. Anna can play with it for ten minutes, then Ben can play with it for ten minutes. Then you can switch again. That way, you can both enjoy it."
+
+Anna and Ben think about it. They don't like the idea, but they don't want to make Mom angry. They nod and let go of the ball.
+
+"Okay, Mom," Anna says. "But I go first!"
+
+"No, I go first!" Ben says.
+
+Mom sighs. She looks at her watch.
+
+"Fine," Mom says. "Ben can go first, but only because he is older by two minutes. Anna, you can wait here and watch. Then it will be your turn."
+
+Anna pouts, but she agrees. Ben smiles and takes the ball. He runs to the other side of the yard and starts to bounce it.
+
+Anna watches him. She thinks the ball looks unique and fun. She wants to play with it too. She waits for ten minutes. She counts in her head.
+
+"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!"
+
+She jumps up and runs to Ben.
+
+"Ben, Ben, it is my turn now!" Anna says. "Give me the ball!"
+
+Ben looks at her. He likes the ball. He doesn't want to give it up.
+
+"No, Anna, it is not your turn yet!" Ben says. "I need more time!"
+
+"Yes, it is, Ben, Mom said so!" Anna says. "Give me the ball!"
+
+They both grab the ball and pull. They start to yell and cry again.
+
+Mom hears them and comes out. She sees them fighting over the ball again.
+
+"Anna and Ben, what are you doing?" Mom says. "I thought we had a deal. You were supposed to take turns with the ball."
+
+"But he won't give it to me!" Anna says. "He is being mean!"
+
+"But she won't let me play!" Ben says. "She is being greedy!"
+
+Mom shakes her head. She has another idea.
+
+"How about this?" Mom says. "You can play with the ball together. You can roll it, toss it, kick it, or catch it. You can have fun with each other. That way, you can both enjoy it."
+
+Anna and Ben think about it. They like the idea, but they are still mad at each other. They look at the ball. They look at Mom. They look at each other.
+
+"Okay, Mom," Ben says. "But I go first!"
+
+"No, I go first!" Anna says.
+
+Mom smiles. She knows they will get along soon.
+
+"Fine," Mom says. "You can go first together. But you have to share and be nice. Or else, I will take the ball away."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and let go of the ball. They hold hands and walk to the middle of the yard. They look at the ball. They look at each other. They smile.
+
+They start to play with the ball. They roll it, toss it, kick it, and catch it. They laugh and have fun. They forget about fighting. They are happy.
+
+Mom watches them. She thinks they are unique and fun. She loves them. She is happy too.
+Tom and Anna liked to play with snow. They made a big snowman in their yard. They gave him a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose. They named him Sam.
+
+"Hello, Sam!" they said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Sam did not answer. He was made of snow. He could not talk.
+
+One day, the sun was very bright and warm. Tom and Anna went outside to see Sam. But Sam was not the same. He was smaller and wet. His hat and scarf were on the ground. His carrot nose was gone.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom cried. "Sam is melting!"
+
+Anna felt sad. She wanted to help Sam. She had an idea.
+
+"Let's take Sam to the port!" she said. "The port is where the big boats are. Maybe we can find some ice there. Ice is very cold. It will not melt."
+
+Tom liked Anna's idea. He was generous. He shared his sled with her. They put Sam on the sled. They pulled him to the port.
+
+At the port, they saw many big boats. They also saw a big pile of ice. It was for the fish. They asked a man if they could have some ice for Sam.
+
+The man was kind. He was generous. He gave them some ice. He also gave them a new carrot for Sam's nose.
+
+"Thank you, sir!" Tom and Anna said.
+
+They took the ice and the carrot. They fixed Sam. They made him bigger and colder. They gave him a new nose.
+
+"Hello, Sam!" they said again. "You look great!"
+
+Sam still did not answer. He was still made of snow. He could not talk. But he smiled. He was happy. He had good friends.

+
+One day, a hairy dog came running towards them. It barked and wagged its tail. It wanted to play with the ball too. Lily and Ben were scared of the dog. They did not know if it was friendly or mean.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily shouted. "This is our ball!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. It jumped and grabbed the ball in its mouth. It ran away with the ball, towards the cliff.
+
+"Hey, come back!" Ben cried. "That's our ball!"
+
+Lily and Ben chased the dog, but they could not catch it. The dog was too fast and too hairy. It reached the edge of the cliff and stopped. It looked down and saw the water below. It dropped the ball and barked.
+
+Lily and Ben saw the ball fall down the cliff. They were sad and angry. They had lost their ball.
+
+"Bad dog!" Lily said. "You made us lose our ball!"
+
+The dog tilted its head and wagged its tail. It did not understand why they were mad. It thought they were playing a fun game. It wanted to play more.
+
+"Sorry, dog," Ben said. "But we don't want to play with you. You are too hairy and too naughty. You should go home."
+
+The dog looked at them and licked its nose. It did not want to go home. It wanted to stay with them and play. But it saw that they were not happy. It whimpered and turned around. It ran away from the cliff, looking for another ball.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of leaves. They want to make something with the leaves.

+"Let's make a way with the leaves," Lily says. "We can pretend it is a road or a river."
+
+"OK," Tom says. "That sounds interesting. How do we make a way?"
+
+They start to move the leaves with their hands and feet. They make a long line of leaves on the grass. They make the line twist and turn. They make the line go up and down.
+
+"Look, we made a way!" Lily says. "It is a snake way. It is long and wiggly."
+
+"Wow, it is a snake way!" Tom says. "It is fun and interesting. Can we walk on the snake way?"
+

+
+"Of course, sweetie. I love to read with you. Come here and sit with me." Mom said, smiling.

+
+"Thank you, mom. Reading with you is the best." Lily said.

+
+"No, Tim," Jen said. "The letter says no. We should value the letter. It is there for a reason. Maybe there is something bad inside."
+
+Tim did not listen to Jen. He was brave, but not smart. He pulled the letter off the box and opened it. Jen was scared. She ran away.
+
+Inside the box, there was a snake. The snake was angry. It bit Tim on the arm. Tim screamed. He dropped the box and the snake. He ran after Jen. But it was too late. The snake's bite was poisonous.

+
+One day, Ben and Mia find a new toy in the yard. It is a small box with a red button. Ben is curious and wants to test it. He uses his paw to press the button. The box makes a loud noise and a funny smell. Ben jumps back and barks.
+
+"What is that?" Mia asks, waking up from her nap.
+
+"I don't know. It is a new toy. Do you want to try it?" Ben says.
+
+Mia shakes her head. She does not like loud noises and funny smells. She thinks the box is scary and bad.
+
+"No, thank you. I like my old toys. They are quiet and nice. You can have the box, Ben. But be careful. It might hurt you." Mia says.
+
+Ben does not listen to Mia. He thinks the box is fun and exciting. He presses the button again and again. The box makes more noises and smells. Ben laughs and wags his tail.
+
+Mia sighs and goes back to sleep. She hopes Ben will stop playing with the box soon. She thinks Ben is silly and brave. She likes him, but she does not like his new toy.
+Tom and Lily were playing a game. They had to stretch their arms and legs as much as they could. The one who stretched the most would get a prize. The prize was a big red balloon.
+
+Tom was very good at stretching. He stretched his arms and legs so far that he looked like a star. Lily was not so good at stretching. She stretched her arms and legs a little bit, but she felt tired and sore. She wanted the prize, but she was anxious. She thought Tom would win.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Tom said. "I can stretch more than you! I will get the prize!"
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's words. She wanted to stretch more, but she could not. She had an idea. She saw a pin on the floor. She picked it up and hid it in her hand.
+
+"OK, Tom," Lily said. "You are very good at stretching. But can you stretch your neck too?"
+
+Tom was curious. He wanted to show Lily that he could stretch his neck too. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, I can. Watch me!"
+
+Tom stretched his neck as much as he could. He looked up at the ceiling. He did not see Lily coming behind him. Lily held the pin in her hand and popped the balloon.
+
+BANG!
+
+The balloon made a loud noise. Tom was scared and surprised. He felt a pain in his ear. He cried out loud. He dropped to the floor and held his ear.
+
+Lily laughed. She thought she was clever. She took the balloon's string and said, "I win! I get the prize!"
+
+But then she saw Tom's face. He was not happy. He was hurt and sad. He looked at Lily with angry eyes. He did not want to play with her anymore. He did not want to be her friend anymore.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She realized that she had done a bad thing. She wanted to say sorry, but Tom did not listen. He ran away from her and told his mom.
+
+Lily was alone. She had the prize, but she had no friend. She wished she had not popped the balloon. She wished she had not been so anxious. She wished she had been kind.
+Lily and Ben are friends who like to play on the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells and crabs. One day, they hear a loud sound from the water. It is the tide coming in. The tide is the water that goes up and down on the beach.
+
+"Look, the tide is here!" Lily says. "We have to move our sand castles or they will get wet."
+
+"OK, let's move them to a higher place," Ben says. They pick up their buckets and shovels and start to move their sand castles.
+
+But then they see another boy on the beach. He has a big sand castle with a flag and a moat. He also has a lot of shells and crabs that he found.
+
+"Wow, look at his sand castle!" Lily says. "It is so big and pretty. He has so many shells and crabs. I wish we had those too."
+
+Ben feels jealous. He thinks his sand castle is not good enough. He wants to have a bigger and prettier sand castle. He wants to have more shells and crabs.
+
+"Let's go and say hello to him," Lily says. "Maybe he will share his shells and crabs with us. Maybe he will let us play with his sand castle."
+
+"No, I don't want to," Ben says. "He is not our friend. He is a stranger. He might be mean to us. He might break our sand castles. Let's stay away from him."
+
+Lily is sad. She thinks Ben is being rude and selfish. She thinks the other boy is nice and friendly. She wants to make a new friend. She wants to have fun on the beach.
+
+"OK, then I will go by myself," Lily says. "You can stay here with your sand castle. I will be back soon."
+
+She leaves Ben and walks towards the other boy. She smiles and waves at him. She hopes he will smile and wave back. She hopes he will let her play with his sand castle. She hopes he will share his shells and crabs with her. She hopes Ben will not be angry with her. She hopes they can all be friends.
+Ben and Lily went to the shop with Mom. They wanted to buy a gift for Dad. He was sick and had to stay in bed. Mom said they could choose anything they liked, as long as it was not too big or too expensive.
+
+Ben saw a big red car. He liked cars very much. He said, "Mom, can I buy this car for Dad? He will love it!"
+
+Mom looked at the car and shook her head. She said, "No, Ben, this car is too big and too expensive. It costs ten coins. We only have five coins. We need to find something else."
+
+Lily saw a small blue book. She liked books very much. She said, "Mom, can I buy this book for Dad? He will like it!"
+
+Mom looked at the book and smiled. She said, "Yes, Lily, this book is good. It costs one coin. We can buy it and still have four coins left. What is the book about?"
+
+Lily looked at the cover and read, "The Brave Lion. It is a story about a lion who saves his friends from a mean hunter. Dad likes brave stories."
+
+Mom said, "That is a nice book, Lily. Let's buy it and go home. We can wrap it and give it to Dad. He will be happy."
+
+They went to the counter and gave the book and one coin to the lady. The lady said, "Thank you for buying this book. It is a good price. I hope your Dad gets well soon."
+
+Ben and Lily said, "Thank you, lady. Have a nice day."
+
+They took the book and went home. They wrapped it and gave it to Dad. Dad was happy. He said, "Thank you, Ben and Lily. This is a wonderful gift. You are very kind and brave, just like the lion in the book."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the woods. They liked to run, jump and hide behind the trees. They saw many animals, like birds, squirrels and rabbits. They heard a stream and followed the sound.
+
+They found a cabin near the stream. It was made of wood and had a door and a window. They were curious and wanted to see inside. They knocked on the door, but no one answered. They opened the door and went in.
+
+The cabin was small and cozy. There was a fireplace, a table, a bed and a shelf. On the shelf, there were books, toys and a teddy bear. Tom picked up the teddy bear and hugged it. It was soft and warm.
+
+"Look, Lily, a teddy bear!" Tom said.
+
+"Can I see?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom gave the teddy bear to Lily. She smiled and cuddled it.
+
+"Maybe someone lives here and left the teddy bear for us," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe. Do you think they will come back?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should leave a note and say thank you," Lily said.
+
+They found a paper and a pencil on the table. They wrote: "We like your cabin and your teddy bear. Thank you for sharing. From Tom and Lily." They put the note on the bed and left the cabin.
+
+They went back to the woods and continued playing. They felt happy and grateful. They had discovered a new place and a new friend.
+Anna liked to study books with many pictures. She learned about animals, plants, and places. She wanted to show her mom and dad what she knew. She took a book and went to the living room.
+
+She saw a big frame on the wall. It had a picture of her family. She wanted to put her book next to the frame. She climbed on the sofa and reached for the frame. But the frame was too heavy. It fell down and broke. Anna was scared and sad. She felt helpless.
+
+She heard her mom coming. She wanted to hide. She ran to her room and closed the door. She heard her mom calling her name. She did not answer. She hugged her book and cried.
+
+Her mom knocked on the door. She opened it and saw Anna. She saw the book and the tears. She asked Anna what happened. Anna told her the truth. She said she was sorry. She said she wanted to show her book.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. She said she was proud of Anna for studying and telling the truth. She said they could fix the frame together. She said she loved Anna. Anna felt better. She said she loved her mom. She said she would be more careful next time.
+
+The moral of the story is: honesty is the best policy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, they wanted to make pizza for lunch. Mom said they could, but they had to be careful and follow her rules.
+
+"First, we need to make the sauce," Mom said. "Tom, you can stir the tomatoes in the pot. Lily, you can add some cheese and herbs. But don't touch the stove, it's very hot."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and did what Mom said. They smelled the yummy sauce and wanted to taste it. Tom reached for a spoon, but Mom stopped him.
+
+"Wait, Tom, the sauce is not ready yet. It needs to cook for a while. And you have to ask me before you taste anything. That's the honest thing to do."
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Tom said. "Can I taste the sauce when it's ready?"
+
+"Yes, you can, Tom. But only a little bit. We need to save some for the pizza," Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom," Tom said. He looked at Lily and smiled. They were happy to help Mom and make pizza. They hoped the sauce would be delicious.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and cups. They also used a lot of flour and water and salt.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a cake!" Lily said, holding up a bowl of sticky dough. "Do you want some?"
+
+Ben nodded and took a teaspoon. He scooped up some dough and put it in his mouth. He made a face and spat it out. "Blech! This is not a cake, Lily! This is yucky!"
+
+Lily laughed. "It is a cake, Ben! You just have to bake it first. Come on, let's put it in the oven."
+
+She grabbed the bowl and ran to the oven. She opened the door and tried to slide the bowl inside. But the bowl was too big and the dough was too heavy. It slipped from her hands and fell on the floor. The dough splattered everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben cried. They looked at the mess. They saw flour and water and salt and dough on the floor, on the oven, on the walls, and on themselves.
+
+They heard footsteps. It was Mom. She came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She gasped. "What happened here?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt bad. They knew they had made a big mistake.
+
+"We were playing, Mom," Lily said. "We were making a cake. But it was too big and it fell."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not happy. She loved her children, but they had made a lot of trouble. "You were making a cake, huh?" she said. "Well, that was very silly of you. You know you are not supposed to use the oven without me. And you know you have to clean up after you play. Look at this mess. You have to wash everything now. The floor, the oven, the walls, and yourselves. And don't forget the teaspoon."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were sorry. They wanted to make Mom happy. They took the teaspoon and some rags and some soap. They started to wash the mess. They worked hard and fast. They washed and washed and washed. They hoped Mom would forgive them. They hoped they could still have some real cake later.
+Mia loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She paints flowers and trees and birds on paper. She is happy when she paints.
+
+One day, she sees a needle on the table. It is shiny and sharp. She wants to paint with it. She thinks it will make nice lines. She picks up the needle and tries to dip it in the paint.
+
+"Ow!" she cries. The needle hurts her finger. It makes a red dot. She drops the needle and runs to her mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, it hurts!" she says. She shows her finger to her mom.
+
+"Oh, Mia, what did you do?" her mom asks. She sees the needle and the paint. She hugs Mia and takes her to the sink. She washes the finger and puts a band-aid on it.
+
+"Sweetie, you should never play with needles. They are not for painting. They are for sewing. They can hurt you very badly. Do you understand?" her mom says.
+
+Mia nods. She is sorry. She does not want to play with needles anymore. She wants to paint with brushes. She says sorry to her mom and gives her a kiss.
+
+"Can I have a sweet?" she asks. She likes sweets. They make her feel better.
+
+"Okay, just one. But only after lunch. And promise me you will not touch needles again," her mom says.
+
+"I promise, mom. I love you," Mia says.
+
+"I love you too, Mia. Now, let's go and have some lunch. And then you can paint some more. But with brushes, okay?" her mom says.
+
+"Okay, mom. Thank you," Mia says. She smiles and holds her mom's hand. She is happy again.
+Lily was an intelligent girl who liked to read books and learn new things. She had many books in her room, but her favorite one was about animals. She loved to look at the pictures and read the names of the animals.
+
+One day, she wanted to read her animal book, but she could not find it. She looked under her bed, in her closet, and in her toy box, but the book was not there. She felt sad and worried. Where did her book go?
+
+She decided to ask her mom for help. She went to the hall, where her mom was folding clothes. "Mom, I can't find my animal book. Do you know where it is?" she asked.
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Don't worry, Lily. I know where your book is. Do you remember when we went to the library yesterday? You brought your book with you, but you forgot to take it back. It's still in the library. We can go and get it later, okay?"
+
+Lily felt relieved and happy. She remembered the library, where she saw many more books and met a nice lady who read stories to her. She thanked her mom and gave her a kiss. "Okay, mom. Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry I lost my book. I will be more careful next time."
+
+Her mom nodded and kissed her back. "You're welcome, Lily. I'm proud of you for being an intelligent and curious girl. And don't worry about losing your book. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The important thing is to learn from them and try again."
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a ball, a doll, a car and a teddy. They liked to share their toys and have fun.
+
+But one day, a naughty thief came to the garden. He saw the toys and wanted to take them. He was very sneaky and quiet. He waited until Lily and Tom were not looking. Then he grabbed the ball and ran away.
+
+Lily and Tom saw the thief and shouted. They ran after him and tried to get their ball back. The thief was fast, but Lily and Tom were faster. They caught up with him and tackled him to the ground.

+Lily and Ben love to play with blocks. They like to add more and more blocks to make tall towers and houses. One day, they hear a loud noise outside. Mommy says it is a hurricane. A hurricane is a big wind that can break things.
+
+Mommy tells Lily and Ben to go to the basement with her. They take their blocks and some toys. They are scared of the hurricane, but Mommy says they will be safe. They go to the basement and close the door.
+
+In the basement, Lily and Ben find a box with some old clothes. They decide to dress up and pretend to be different people. Lily puts on a hat and a scarf and says she is a teacher. Ben puts on a coat and a tie and says he is a doctor. They add some glasses and a necklace from the box. They look very funny and adorable.
+
+They play with their blocks and their clothes until the hurricane is over. Mommy says they can go back upstairs. They see that the hurricane made a mess outside. Some trees are down and some roofs are gone. But their house is okay. They are happy and thankful.
+
+They hug Mommy and say they love her. They say they love each other too. They say they had fun in the basement, even with the hurricane. They say they are brave and creative. Mommy says she is proud of them. She says they are adorable.
+Lily was sad. She had a big cut on her knee from falling down. It hurt a lot and it was red and wet. Mommy put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug. She said it would heal soon.
+
+Lily wanted to play with her toys, but she had to stay on the couch. She felt bored and lonely. She wished she had a magic power to make her cut go away. She looked at her teddy bear and had an idea.
+
+She took off the band-aid and put it on her teddy bear's paw. She said, "Teddy, you have my cut now. I have your power to heal. We can trade." She hugged her teddy bear and felt a warm tingling in her knee.
+
+She looked at her knee and saw that it was not red and wet anymore. It was just a regular knee with a small line. She smiled and felt happy. She said, "Thank you, teddy. You are a good friend. You helped me heal."

+
+"Hello, guard," Anna says. "Can we play with you?"
+
+The guard smiles. He likes children. He says, "Sure, you can play with me. But you have to follow the rules. The rules are: be good, be careful, and have fun."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are good children. They follow the rules. They play with the guard and Spot. They throw the ball and catch it. They run and laugh.
+
+The sun is high in the sky. It is warm and bright. The sun rises every day. It makes the day. The guard tells Anna and Ben about the sun. He says, "The sun is a big star. It is very far away. It gives us light and heat. It helps the plants grow. It makes the shadows. It is a good sun."
+
+Anna and Ben look at the sun. They see the shadows. They make shapes with their hands. They see a bird, a rabbit, and a star. They giggle.
+
+The guard says, "You are very smart. You can make many shapes. You are good children. You make me happy."
+
+Anna and Ben hug the guard. They say, "Thank you, guard. You are a good guard. You make us happy."
+
+They play some more. Then they go home with their mom and Spot. They wave goodbye to the guard. They say, "See you soon, guard. We love you."

+The guard waves back. He says, "See you soon, children. I love you too."
+Sam and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and make noise. They had a big trumpet that they found in the garage. It was shiny and loud. They wanted to celebrate their birthday with the trumpet.
+
+"Let's blow the trumpet and sing happy birthday!" Sam said.
+
+"OK, but we have to wait for Mom and Dad. They said they have a surprise for us," Lily said. She was patient and kind.
+
+Sam was not patient. He wanted to blow the trumpet now. He did not want to wait. He grabbed the trumpet from Lily and ran to the living room.
+
+"Sam, come back! That's not nice!" Lily cried. She followed him.
+
+Sam did not listen. He blew the trumpet as hard as he could. He was happy and proud. He did not see the cake on the table. He did not see the candles. He did not see the fire.
+
+The trumpet hit the cake. The cake fell on the floor. The candles lit the trumpet. The trumpet burned. Sam screamed. Lily screamed. Mom and Dad ran to the living room. They saw the mess and the smoke. They were angry and sad.

+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to celebrate," Sam said. He was scared and sorry.
+
+"It's too late to celebrate now. You have to go to your room. You have to stay there until we say so. You have to learn to be patient and share," Dad said. He took Sam to his room. He locked the door.
+
+Lily cried. She did not have a cake. She did not have a trumpet. She did not have a happy birthday. She hugged Mom and Dad. They hugged her back. They tried to comfort her.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. They wanted to see their toys and books.
+
+They opened a big box in their room. They saw a lot of things they did not know. They saw a hat with feathers, a dress with holes, a shoe with a bell, and a doll with no hair. They did not like these things. They were ugly.
+
+"Who put these things in our box?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are a mystery," Ben said.
+
+They heard a knock on the door. It was Grandma. She smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Hello, my sweeties. I'm so glad you are here. I brought you some gifts. Do you want to see them?" Grandma said.
+
+"Yes, please," Lily and Ben said.
+
+Grandma opened the box. She took out the hat, the dress, the shoe, and the doll. She put them on herself. She looked very funny.
+
+"These are my old things. I used to play with them when I was a little girl. They are very special to me. I wanted to share them with you. Do you like them?" Grandma said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at Grandma. They saw her happy face. They felt sorry for saying the things were ugly. They loved Grandma.
+
+"Yes, we like them. Thank you, Grandma. Can we play with them with you?" Lily and Ben said.
+
+"Of course, my darlings. Let's have some fun," Grandma said.
+
+They all laughed and played with the old things. They made up stories and songs. They had a good time. They learned that some things are not ugly. They are just different. And they can be fun.
+One day, Ben and his mom went to the park. Ben saw a big deer with brown fur and horns. He wanted to touch it. He ran to the deer and said, "Hi, deer! You are so pretty!"
+
+But the deer did not like Ben. The deer was angry. It did not want Ben to touch it. It made a loud noise and kicked its legs. Ben was scared. He ran back to his mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, the deer is angry!" Ben cried. "It tried to hurt me!"
+
+Mom hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. The deer is not a pet. It is wild. You should not run to it or touch it. It might think you are a threat. You should stay away from it and watch it from a distance."
+
+Ben nodded. He learned his lesson. He and his mom walked to the other side of the park. They saw a big slide. Ben wanted to go on it. He climbed the ladder and sat on the slide. He zipped down the slide and laughed. He had fun. He forgot about the angry deer. He and his mom played on the slide until it was time to go home.
+Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green and more.
+
+One day, they want to make a big circle with the blocks. They put the blocks on the floor and try to make them into a circle shape. But it is hard. The blocks do not fit well together. They leave gaps and holes in the circle. Sara and Ben are sad.
+
+Then, they see a big cardboard box in the corner. It is empty and has no lid. They have an idea. They take the box and put it on the floor. They turn it over and cut out a circle from the bottom. They use scissors and ask mom for help. They are careful not to hurt themselves.
+
+Now they have a big circle made of cardboard. They are happy. They put the circle on the floor and fill it with blocks. They make patterns and designs with the blocks. They use all the colors of the blocks. The circle is full and beautiful.
+
+They show mom their circle. Mom is proud of them. She says they are very clever and creative. She takes a picture of their circle and puts it on the fridge. Sara and Ben are cheerful. They prevent the blocks from falling out of the circle. They hug each other and smile. They love to play with blocks.
+Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a pigeon on the grass. The pigeon had a red band on its leg.
+
+"Look, a pigeon!" Lily said. "It is pretty. Can we feed it?"
+
+Sam nodded. He had some bread in his bag. He broke off a small piece and threw it to the pigeon. The pigeon pecked at it and cooed.
+
+Lily and Sam smiled. They wanted to make the pigeon happy. They skipped to the bench where Sam's mom was sitting. She had a sandwich for them.
+
+"Mom, can we have some sandwich?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. But be careful, it is spicy. It has pepper and mustard on it." Sam's mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam took a bite of the sandwich. They felt a hot feeling in their mouths. They made a funny face and drank some water.
+
+"Wow, this is spicy!" Lily said. "I don't like it."
+
+"Me neither." Sam said. "Let's give it to the pigeon. Maybe it likes spicy food."
+
+They ran back to the pigeon and offered it the sandwich. The pigeon looked at it and sniffed. Then it shook its head and flew away.
+
+Lily and Sam laughed. They guessed the pigeon did not like spicy food either. They decided to eat something else. They found some grapes and crackers in Sam's bag. They shared them with each other and enjoyed the park. They were happy.

+
+One day, Timmy sees a big bottle of soap in the bathroom. He wants to play with it. He thinks it will make more bubbles and shapes than his small soap. He reaches for the bottle, but it is too high. He looks for a chair or a stool to stand on. He searches the bathroom, but he cannot find one.
+
+He sees a big pile of towels on the shelf. He thinks he can use them to climb up. He pulls the towels down and makes a tower. He climbs on the tower and reaches for the bottle. He grabs it and smiles. He thinks he is very clever.
+

+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They had a bike that they shared, but it was broken. The wheel was flat and the chain was rusty. They wanted to fix it, but they did not have the tools or the money.
+
+One day, they saw a poster that said there was a bike race in the park. The prize was a new bike. Lily and Tom decided to enter the race and try to win. They thought they could improve their bike with some tape and oil.
+
+They woke up early the next morning and rode their bike to the park. They saw the other kids with shiny and fast bikes. They felt scared and sad. They tried to be brave and smiled at each other.
+

+
+Ben is not scared of the dog. He likes animals. He walks to the dog. He whispers to Anna, "The dog is not scary. It is nice and friendly. Come and see."

+
+Max nods. He walks to the tree. He sniffs Anna. He says, "Hello, Anna. I am Max. I am a good dog. Do not be afraid. I will not hurt you."
+
+Anna looks at Max. She sees his big eyes and his wet nose. She feels his warm fur and his gentle tongue. She thinks, "Maybe the dog is not so scary. Maybe he is nice and friendly. Maybe I can play with him."
+
+She reaches out her hand. She touches Max's head. She whispers to Ben, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I like Max. He is a good dog. Can we play with him?"

+Tim and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the jet. The jet is big and red and makes a loud noise. They pretend to fly the jet around the room and go to different places.
+
+One day, they hear a knock on the door. It is their friend Sam. Sam wants to play with them. Tim and Mia are happy to see Sam. They invite him to join their game.
+
+"Can I play with the jet?" Sam asks. He likes the jet too. It looks fun and cool.
+
+"Sure, you can play with the jet," Tim says. He is polite and shares his toy. He gives the jet to Sam.
+
+"Thank you, Tim," Sam says. He is polite too. He takes the jet and starts to fly it.
+
+Mia watches Sam. She wants to play with the jet as well. She waits for her turn. But Sam does not seem to notice. He keeps flying the jet and does not give it back. He does not seem to care about Mia.
+
+Mia feels sad and angry. She thinks Sam is not polite. She thinks he is selfish. She wants to say something, but she does not know how. She looks at Tim. She hopes Tim will help her.
+
+Tim sees Mia's face. He knows she is upset. He knows Sam is not being fair. He decides to do something. He goes to Sam and says, "Sam, can you please give the jet to Mia? She wants to play with it too. We have to take turns."
+
+Sam looks at Tim. He does not want to give the jet. He likes the jet too much. He says, "No, I want to play with the jet. It is mine now. Go away."
+
+Tim and Mia are shocked. They cannot believe what Sam says. They think he is rude. They do not want to play with him anymore. They say, "Sam, that is not nice. That is not how you play with friends. The jet is not yours. It is ours. You have to share. If you do not share, you cannot play with us."
+
+Sam does not listen. He does not care. He keeps flying the jet and ignores them. He does not seem to want to be friends.
+
+Tim and Mia are sad and angry. They do not know what to do. They look at each other. They have an idea. They go to their closet and take out their other toys. They have many other toys. They have cars and dolls and blocks and books. They start to play with their other toys. They have fun and laugh. They do not need the jet. They do not need Sam.

+Sam sees Tim and Mia playing with their other toys. He feels lonely and bored. He does not have fun with the jet anymore. He wants to play with them. He wants to be friends. He says, "Hey, can I play with you?"
+
+Tim and Mia look at Sam. They do not answer. They do not seem to hear him. They keep playing with their other toys. They do not seem to care about Sam.
+Sam liked to look at the stars at night. He would lean out of his window and try to count them. He wondered if they were far or near, big or small, hot or cold. He wished he could touch them and make a wish.
+
+One night, he saw a star that was different from the others. It was brighter and bigger and had a long tail. It moved across the sky very fast. Sam was amazed and excited. He thought it was a special star that could make his wish come true.
+
+He leaned out of his window and shouted, "Star, star, please hear me! I have a wish for you!" He closed his eyes and wished hard. He wished he could fly and visit the stars. He opened his eyes and waited.
+
+But nothing happened. The star was gone and the sky was dark. Sam felt sad and disappointed. He thought the star did not hear him or did not care. He crawled back into his bed and cried.
+
+He did not know that the star did hear him and did care. The star was a comet, a very rare and beautiful star that travels around the sun. The comet had a wish too. It wished it could stay and be an ordinary star, like the ones that Sam liked to look at. It wished it could have a friend like Sam. But it could not. It had to keep moving and leave the sky. It felt sad and lonely.
+
+The comet and Sam both made a wish that night. But they did not know that their wishes were the same. They wished they could be like each other. They wished they could be happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing near the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They also liked to look for fish and frogs and other animals that lived in the river.
+
+One day, they saw a big furry animal on the other side of the river. It had a long tail and sharp teeth. It was a beaver. Lily and Tom had never seen a beaver before. They wondered what it was doing.
+
+"Hello, furry animal!" Lily shouted. "What are you doing?"
+
+The beaver looked up and saw Lily and Tom. It did not like to be disturbed. It made a loud noise with its tail and dived into the water.
+
+"Wow, did you see that?" Tom said. "It scared me!"
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "It was very loud and fast!"
+
+They watched the water for a while, but they did not see the beaver again. They decided to play somewhere else.
+
+"Maybe the furry animal was building a home," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe," Tom said. "But I don't want to bother it again. Let's go and play with the flowers."
+
+They ran away from the river and picked some flowers. They made crowns and necklaces and bracelets. They forgot about the beaver and had fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big fountain with water and many coins. The coins were shiny and pretty. Tom and Lily wanted to have some coins.
+
+They looked around and saw no one. They ran to the fountain and reached for the coins. But the water was deep and cold. They could not get the coins. They tried again and again, but they only got wet and sad.
+
+Then they saw a man with a long stick. He was fishing for coins in the fountain. He had a bucket full of coins. He smiled and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want some coins?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They wanted some coins very much. The man said, "OK, but you have to do something for me. You have to help me pick up the trash around the fountain. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded again. They wanted to help the man. They took a bag and started to pick up the trash. They found cans, bottles, papers and wrappers. They put them in the bag. They worked hard and fast.
+
+The man was happy. He said, "You are very good kids. You managed to clean up the park. You deserve some coins. Here, take some from my bucket. But remember, don't throw them in the fountain. Save them or buy something nice."
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the man. They took some coins from his bucket. They were happy and proud. They decided to save their coins for later. They waved goodbye to the man and ran to their mom. They told her what they did and showed her their coins. She hugged them and said, "You are very good kids. I am proud of you."
+Tom likes to read books with many pictures and colors. He does not like books with only words and no pictures. He thinks they are boring. He has a book with only words and no pictures. His mom gave it to him for his birthday. She said it is a good book and he should read it.
+
+One day, Tom is bored and has nothing to do. He sees the book with only words and no pictures on his shelf. He thinks maybe he will try to read it. He opens the book and looks at the first page. He sees many words he does not know. He tries to read them, but he does not understand. He turns the page. He sees more words he does not know. He turns the page again. He does this many times. He does not read the words. He only turns the pages. He speeds through the book.
+
+Soon, he reaches the last page. He sees a big picture on the last page. It is a picture of a dragon. The dragon is red and green and has big teeth and wings. It looks scary and cool. Tom likes the picture. He wants to know more about the dragon. He looks at the words on the last page. He sees the words "The End". He does not see any other words about the dragon.
+
+Tom is sad and angry. He feels cheated. He says to himself, "This is a bad book. It has only one picture and it is at the end. It does not tell me anything about the dragon. It is a boring book. I do not like it."
+
+He throws the book on the floor. He does not want to see it again. He does not know that he missed a great story about the dragon and his adventures. He does not know that he could have learned many new words and enjoyed the book. He does not know that his mom was right. It was a good book and he should have read it.
+Tim and Jen like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with blocks and tape. They zoom their cars on the roads and make noises.
+
+One day, they find a huge car in the garage. It is red and shiny. It has four big wheels and a loud horn. Tim and Jen want to play with it. They climb inside and pretend to drive.
+
+They see a button on the dash. It has a picture of a rocket. They wonder what it does. They push the button and the car starts to zoom faster and faster. It zooms out of the garage and onto the street. It zooms past the trees and the houses and the people.
+
+Tim and Jen are scared and excited. They do not know how to stop the car. They see a point up ahead. It is a big hill. The car zooms up the hill and flies into the air. It zooms over the clouds and the birds and the sun.
+
+Tim and Jen scream and laugh. They feel like they are in a dream. They hold on tight and hope they will land soon. They zoom and zoom and zoom.
+Lily and Max are young friends. They love to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a fountain in the park. It is big and shiny. Water goes up and down. It makes a nice sound. Lily and Max want to see the fountain.
+
+They go near the fountain. They feel the water on their faces. It is cool and wet. They laugh and clap. They splash and dance. They have more fun.
+
+A lady sees them. She smiles. She takes a picture of them. She says, "You are so cute. You look like you love the fountain." Lily and Max nod. They do love the fountain. They love the park. They love each other. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. Mom and Dad said they were going to the beach.
+
+"Can we swim in the water?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, but only when we are with you," Mom said.
+
+"Can we build sand castles?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, but don't throw sand at each other," Dad said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They liked to question Mom and Dad. They wanted to know everything.
+
+They drove for a long time. They saw trees, cows, and houses. They sang songs and played games. They ate snacks and drank juice. They were not bored.
+
+They arrived at the beach. They saw the blue water and the yellow sand. They heard the waves and the seagulls. They smelled the salt and the sun. They felt the breeze and the heat. They were very excited.
+
+They ran out of the car. They put on their hats and sunscreen. They grabbed their buckets and shovels. They followed Mom and Dad to the shore.
+
+They had a lot of fun. They swam in the water. They built sand castles. They collected shells and rocks. They made friends with other kids. They laughed and splashed.
+
+They were very tired. They dried off with their towels. They ate sandwiches and fruits. They drank water and milk. They lay down on their blankets. They closed their eyes.
+
+They were very calm. They listened to the water and the seagulls. They felt the breeze and the sun. They smelled the salt and the sun. They dreamed of the beach.
+
+They were very happy. They loved vacation.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big door in the wall. It was old and brown and had a lock on it.
+
+"Let's see what's behind the door!" Ben said. He tried to open the lock, but it was too hard.
+
+"Maybe we need a key," Lily said. She looked around and saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a key. She picked it up and gave it to Ben.
+
+"Try this!" she said.
+
+Ben put the key in the lock and turned it. The lock made a click sound and the door opened. They saw a dark and unknown place. It was scary.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Ben said. He wanted to go in and explore.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. I don't like it. It's too dark and unknown. Maybe there are bad things in there. Let's go back," Lily said. She was afraid.
+
+"No, Lily. Don't be scared. It's just a place. Maybe there are fun things in there. Come on, trust me. It will be fun," Ben said. He took Lily's hand and pulled her in.
+
+"Ben, no! I don't want to go in. Please, Ben, let's go back. I don't trust this place. It's not fun. It's scary," Lily said. She tried to pull back, but Ben was stronger.
+
+"Stop, Lily. You're being silly. It's not scary. It's cool. Look, there's a light over there. Let's see what it is," Ben said. He dragged Lily to the light.
+
+The light was a lamp. It was on a table. On the table, there was a book. It was old and dusty and had strange words on it. Ben picked up the book and opened it.
+
+"Look, Lily. It's a book. Maybe it has a story. Let's read it," Ben said. He looked at the words, but he couldn't read them. They were unknown.
+
+"Ben, put it down. It's not a good book. It's a bad book. It has unknown words. Maybe it has a bad spell. Maybe it will hurt us. Please, Ben, put it down and let's go back," Lily said. She was very afraid.
+
+"No, Lily. It's not a bad book. It's a good book. It has a good spell. Maybe it will help us. Maybe it will make us happy. Trust me, Lily. It will be good," Ben said. He smiled and read the words out loud.
+
+As soon as he read the words, something happened. The lamp flickered and the door slammed shut. The lock clicked and the key fell out. The book glowed and the words changed. They were not unknown anymore. They were clear and loud and scary. They said:
+
+"You are mine now. You will never leave. You will never be happy. You will never be free. You will only be scared. You will only be sad. You will only be mine."
+
+Lily and Ben screamed. They realized they made a big mistake. They wished they never opened the door. They wished they never found the key. They wished they never touched the book. They wished they listened to Lily. They wished they trusted Lily. But it was too late. They were trapped in the unknown place. They were trapped in the bad book. They were trapped in the bad spell. They were trapped with the bad voice. They were trapped forever.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside every day. One morning, they woke up very early. They wanted to see the sunrise. They put on their coats and shoes and ran to the hill.
+
+"Look, Lily, the sky is pink and orange!" Tom said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is, Tom!" Lily said. "And look, there is the sun! It is like a big yellow ball!"
+
+They smiled and watched the sun come up. They felt warm and happy.
+
+But then, a big bird flew over them. It saw the sun and thought it was a shiny egg. It wanted to take the egg and eat it. It flew down and tried to grab the sun with its claws.
+
+"Hey, bird, stop!" Tom shouted. "That is not an egg! That is the sun! It is not for you!"
+
+But the bird did not listen. It reached for the sun and touched it. It was very hot. The bird screamed and let go. It flew away, hurt and scared.
+
+Lily and Tom were shocked. They did not like the bird. It was mean and greedy. It tried to take the sun away from them.
+
+"Bad bird!" Lily said. "You are lucky the sun did not break. It is very fragile. You could have made it dark and cold for everyone!"
+
+Tom nodded. He was angry. He wanted to slap the bird. But he knew he could not. The bird was too fast and too far.
+
+"Let's go home, Lily," he said. "The sun is safe now. We can see it again tomorrow."
+
+"OK, Tom," Lily said. "But next time, we will bring a stick. If the bird comes back, we will scare it away."
+
+They held hands and walked back to their houses. They were still best friends. They still liked the sunrise. But they did not like the bird.
+Lily and Tom were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and see how far it could go. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. They were having fun.
+
+But then, a big cloud came and covered the sun. It started to rain. Lily and Tom ran to the porch to stay dry. They looked at the sky and saw a rainbow. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They thought it was pretty.
+
+"Look, a rainbow!" Lily said. "I want to touch it. Maybe it has gold at the end."
+
+"No, you can't touch it. It's too far away. And there is no gold. That's a silly story." Tom said.
+
+"Yes, I can. I have a big arm. And I believe in the story. It's not silly." Lily said.
+
+They argued and got angry. Lily tried to grab the ball from Tom. Tom pulled it back. Lily slapped Tom on the arm. Tom slapped Lily on the cheek. They both cried.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to the porch. She saw them slapping and crying. She was not happy.
+
+"Stop it, both of you! Why are you slapping each other? That's not nice. That's not how you play." She said.
+
+They stopped and looked at their mom. They felt sorry.
+
+"We were fighting over the rainbow. I wanted to touch it. He said I couldn't. He said it was silly." Lily said.
+
+"Well, you can't touch the rainbow. It's not something you can hold. It's just light and water. But it's not silly. It's beautiful. And it's for everyone to enjoy. You don't have to fight over it." Mom said.
+
+She hugged them and wiped their tears. She pointed at the rainbow.
+
+"See, the rainbow is still there. And it has a special message for you. Do you know what it is?" She asked.
+
+They shook their heads.
+
+"It's telling you to be kind and share. And to say sorry when you hurt someone. Can you do that?" She asked.
+
+They nodded.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. I shouldn't have slapped you. You're not weak. You're strong." Tom said.
+
+"Sorry, Tom. I shouldn't have slapped you. You're not silly. You're smart." Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. Mom smiled too.
+
+"Good. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies. And maybe the rain will stop and we can play again." She said.
+
+They followed her inside. They looked at the rainbow one more time. They thought it was pretty. And they thought it was kind.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big bench near the trees. They wanted to sit on it and have a snack.
+
+But when they got to the bench, they saw a mean dog. The dog was barking and growling. It had a chain around its neck, but it was broken. The dog looked angry and hungry.
+
+Anna and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do. They could not run away, because the dog was faster. They could not climb the bench, because the dog could jump. They felt helpless.
+
+They heard a voice. It was a man. He was wearing a uniform and a hat. He had a badge and a whistle. He was a park ranger.
+
+"Hey, kids, don't worry. I'm here to help. Stay calm and don't move. I'll take care of the dog."
+
+The park ranger walked slowly to the dog. He talked to it softly. He had a treat in his hand. He threw the treat to the dog. The dog stopped barking and growling. It sniffed the treat and ate it. The park ranger grabbed the chain and tied it to a tree.
+
+The park ranger came to Anna and Ben. He smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Are you OK, kids? You were very brave. That dog was lost and scared. He didn't mean to hurt you. He just needed some food and love. I'll take him to the shelter and find him a good home."
+
+Anna and Ben thanked the park ranger. They were happy and relieved. They learned that sometimes animals can be mean because they are sad and lonely. They learned that they should always be careful and ask for help when they are in trouble. They learned that there are kind people who can help them and the animals. They sat on the bench and had their snack. They enjoyed the rest of the day in the park.
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their cars and trucks. They have many tools to fix them when they break. One day, they find a big hill near their house. They want to see how fast their cars and trucks can go down the hill.
+
+"Let's have a race!" Sam says. He picks his red car. Tom picks his blue truck. They put their toys at the top of the hill and get ready to push them.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tom says. They push their toys and watch them speed down the hill. The car and the truck go very fast. They make loud noises. Sam and Tom run after them.
+
+But the hill is too steep. The car and the truck go out of control. They hit a rock and flip over. They break into pieces. Sam and Tom are scared. They stop running and look at their toys.
+
+"Oh no!" Sam says. "Our car and truck are broken! What will we do?"
+
+"Don't cry, Sam," Tom says. "We have tools. We can fix them. Come on, let's go get them."
+
+Sam and Tom go to the bottom of the hill. They pick up the pieces of their car and truck. They take them back to their house. They use their tools to put them back together. They are happy. They hug their toys.
+
+"Next time, let's not race on the hill," Sam says.
+
+"OK," Tom says. "Let's race on the grass. It's safer and softer."
+
+They laugh and play with their car and truck on the grass. They are not scared anymore. They have fun.
+Anna liked to play with her toy pig. She would hold it and make it talk to her other toys. She would pretend that the pig was her friend and they would have fun together.
+
+One day, Anna saw a real pig at the farm. She wanted to hold it and play with it like her toy pig. She ran to the pig and tried to grab it. But the pig did not like that. The pig was scared and angry. It squealed and bit Anna's hand.
+
+Anna cried and dropped the pig. Her hand was bleeding and hurting. Her mom came and took her to the doctor. The doctor cleaned her wound and gave her a bandage. He told her that pigs are not harmless. They can bite and hurt people if they are not careful.
+
+Anna learned a lesson that day. She learned that not all animals are like her toys. She learned that she should not touch animals without asking first. She learned that she should be gentle and respectful with living things. She was sorry for hurting the pig and herself. She hoped that the pig was okay. She still liked her toy pig, but she knew that it was different from a real pig.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a modest toy car. It is red and has four wheels. They take turns to push the car on the grass.
+
+"Look, Lila, I can make the car go fast!" Ben says. He pushes the car hard and it zooms away.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is fun!" Lila says. She claps her hands and runs after the car. She catches it and brings it back.
+
+"Now it is my turn, Ben. I can make the car go slow and steady." Lila says. She pushes the car gently and it rolls along.
+
+"That is fun, too, Lila. You are good at driving the car." Ben says. He smiles and walks with her.
+
+The car provides fun for Lila and Ben. They play with it until it is time to go home. They say goodbye and hug each other. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big red truck with a long hose. Lily wants to go and touch it, but Ben says no.
+
+"That is a fire truck. It is for putting out fires. It is not for playing," Ben says.
+
+"But I want to see the hose. Maybe it has water inside. Maybe we can spray it and make a rainbow," Lily says. She insists on going to the truck.
+
+Ben follows her, but he is scared. He sees a man in a yellow suit and a mask. The man is holding a tank on his back.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asks, pointing at the tank.
+
+"That is oxygen. The man needs it to breathe when there is smoke. Smoke is bad for you. It makes you cough and hurts your eyes," Ben says.
+
+Lily is curious. She wants to try the oxygen. She runs to the man and tries to grab his mask.
+
+"Hey, stop that! You can't touch that. It is not a toy. It is very important," the man says. He pushes Lily away gently.
+
+Lily is angry. She starts to cry. She says the man is mean and the oxygen is spicy.
+
+Ben tries to calm her down. He says the man is not mean, he is just doing his job. He says the oxygen is not spicy, it is just different. He says they should go and play somewhere else.
+
+Lily stops crying. She says she is sorry. She says she still wants to see the hose.
+
+The man smiles. He says they can see the hose, but they have to be careful. He says he will show them how it works.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They follow the man to the hose. They see him turn on a switch and spray water in the air. They see a rainbow. They clap and laugh. They say thank you to the man. They go back to playing in the park.
+Lily and Max are brother and sister. They like to play together in the house. One day, they find a big towel in the bathroom. They think it is fun to hang the towel on the door and make a tent.
+
+"Come on, Max, let's go inside the tent!" Lily says. She crawls under the towel and waits for Max.
+
+"OK, Lily, I'm coming!" Max says. He follows Lily and they both sit under the towel. They pretend they are in a forest and they see animals and trees.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a bird!" Max says. He points to a picture on the wall.
+
+"Wow, Max, it is a pretty bird!" Lily says. She claps her hands.
+
+They are very playful and happy. They make noises like the animals and laugh.
+
+But then, they hear a voice from outside the tent.
+
+"Lily, Max, what are you doing in the bathroom?" It is Mom. She sounds angry.
+
+Lily and Max stop playing. They look at each other and feel scared.
+
+"Uh-oh, Mom is here!" Lily says.
+
+"Let's hide!" Max says.
+
+They try to hide under the towel, but Mom sees them. She opens the door and pulls the towel down.
+
+"Lily, Max, you made a mess in the bathroom!" Mom says. She points to the wet floor and the soap bubbles.
+
+"Sorry, Mom, we were just playing!" Lily says.
+
+"Yeah, sorry, Mom, we didn't mean to!" Max says.
+
+Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she loves Lily and Max. She knows they are just kids.
+
+"OK, OK, I forgive you. But you have to clean up the bathroom and then go to your room. No more playing in the bathroom, OK?" Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom, we promise!" Lily and Max say.
+
+They help Mom clean up the bathroom and then go to their room. They are still playful, but they decide to play with their toys instead of the towel. They learn their lesson.
+Tom and Lily liked to collect rocks. They went to the park every day and looked for rocks of different shapes and colors. They put the rocks in their bags and took them home.
+
+One day, they saw a big hill in the park. They wondered if there were more rocks on the hill. They climbed up the hill and found many rocks. They were very happy and started to collect them.
+
+But they did not know that the hill was not a hill. It was a giant who was sleeping. The giant was very grumpy and did not like anyone to touch his rocks. He woke up and saw Tom and Lily. He was very angry and roared.
+
+Tom and Lily were very scared and tried to run away. But the giant was faster and caught them. He put them in his bag and took them to his cave. He said he would eat them for dinner.
+
+Tom and Lily cried and wished they had not gone to the hill. They learned that they should not be greedy and take things that do not belong to them. They hoped someone would come and save them. But no one did. The end.
+
+Moral value: Do not be greedy and take things that do not belong to you.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys on the couch. But sometimes they fight over the toys. They pull and push and yell at each other. Mom and Dad are not happy.
+
+One day, they fight over a red car. Ben wants the car, but Sam has it. Ben tries to take it from Sam, but Sam holds on tight. They tug and tug until the car breaks in half. They both cry and drop the pieces.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise and come to see what happened. They see the broken car and the sad boys. They are very angry. They say, "You have to share your toys. Fighting is not nice. Fighting can hurt you and your toys. Now you have no car to play with. How do you feel?"
+
+Ben and Sam feel sorry. They say, "We feel bad. We are sorry. We love each other. We don't want to fight anymore. We want to play together."
+
+Mom and Dad hug them and say, "We are glad you are sorry. We love you too. Fighting is not the answer. Sharing is caring. If you share your toys, you can have more fun and make each other happy. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben and Sam nod and say, "Yes, we can. We will share our toys. We will be nice to each other. We will be good brothers."
+
+Mom and Dad smile and say, "That's fine. We are proud of you. Now, let's go and find another toy to play with. Maybe we can fix the car later."
+
+Ben and Sam hug each other and say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. You are the best. We love you."
+
+They go and find another toy to play with. They share it and take turns. They laugh and have fun. They are happy on the couch. They don't fight anymore. They are good brothers.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a big box in the corner. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben says. He tries to lift the lid, but it is too heavy. He asks Anna to help him.
+
+"OK," Anna says. She holds the left side of the lid and Ben holds the right side. They pull hard and the lid comes off. They see many interesting things in the box.
+
+They see books, puzzles, dolls, cars, and more. They are very happy and excited. They take out the things and look at them.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Anna says. She holds a book with colorful pictures and words. She tries to read the words, but they are too hard. She asks Ben to read them for her.
+
+"Sorry, I can't read them either," Ben says. He holds a puzzle with many pieces. He tries to put them together, but they are too tricky. He asks Anna to help him.
+
+"OK," Anna says. She puts down the book and holds some puzzle pieces. She and Ben try to find the ones that fit. They have fun and learn new things.
+
+They play with the box for a long time. They forget about their other toys. They are very happy and curious. They thank their mom for giving them the box. She smiles and hugs them. She is proud of them. She says the box is from their grandma, who loves them very much.
+Tim and Sue were playing with their toys in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red circle that they could roll and bounce. They liked to take turns with the circle and share it with each other.
+
+But one day, a boy named Dan came to the garden. He saw the circle and wanted it for himself. He waited until Tim and Sue were not looking and ran to the circle. He grabbed it and ran away.
+
+"Hey, that's our circle!" Tim shouted. "Give it back!"
+
+"No, it's mine now!" Dan said. "You can't have it!"
+
+Tim and Sue were very sad and angry. They chased after Dan, but he was too fast. He ran to his house and locked the door.
+
+Tim and Sue knocked on the door and asked for their circle back. But Dan did not answer. He hid the circle under his bed and smiled.
+
+He thought he was clever and happy, but he was not. He was mean and lonely. He had no friends to play with and no one to share his toys with. He soon got bored of the circle and wished he had someone to talk to.
+
+Tim and Sue went back to their garden. They were still sad and angry, but they had each other. They hugged and said they were sorry for losing the circle. They decided to make a new circle out of paper and glue. They worked hard and made a beautiful circle with many colors.
+
+They were very proud of their circle and happy to play with it. They were thoughtful and kind. They had many friends to play with and many toys to share with. They soon forgot about Dan and his circle. They had everything they needed.
+Tim and Jen were very excited to see the parade. They put on their hats and coats and went with Mom and Dad to the big street. They saw many people waiting on the sidewalk, holding flags and balloons.
+
+"Can we go closer, Mom?" Tim asked. "I want to see the big floats and the marching band."
+
+"Sure, honey, but we have to be polite and not push anyone," Mom said. "Let's look for a spot where we can step over the curb and see better."
+
+They walked along the street until they found a place where there was a gap in the crowd. Mom lifted Jen up and put her on her shoulders. Dad helped Tim step over the curb and stand next to a trash can.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim said, pointing at a float that looked like a giant dragon. "It has wings and scales and fire!"
+
+"That's amazing!" Jen said, clapping her hands. "And look at the band! They have shiny instruments and funny hats!"
+
+They watched the parade with wonder and joy, waving at the people on the floats and cheering for the band. They saw clowns and dancers and animals and cars. They heard music and horns and sirens and bells.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big truck that was pulling a float broke down and stopped in the middle of the street. The parade came to a halt. The people on the sidewalk started to grumble and complain.
+
+"What's going on?" Tim asked, worried. "Why did the parade stop?"
+
+"I don't know, sweetie," Dad said. "Maybe they have to fix the truck. Let's wait and see."
+
+They waited and waited, but the truck did not move. The people on the sidewalk became more and more impatient and angry. Some of them started to shout and boo. Some of them tried to step over the curb and walk on the street.
+
+"Hey, get back on the sidewalk!" a policeman said, blowing his whistle. "You can't go on the street! It's not safe!"
+
+But some people did not listen. They pushed and shoved and tried to get past the policeman. They made a lot of noise and trouble.
+
+Tim and Jen did not like this. They felt scared and sad. They wanted the parade to start again. They wanted the people to be polite and nice.
+
+"Mom, Dad, can we go home?" Jen asked, tears in her eyes. "I don't like it here anymore."
+
+"Me neither," Tim said, holding Dad's hand. "This is not fun."
+
+Mom and Dad nodded. They agreed. They picked up Tim and Jen and stepped over the curb. They said sorry to the policeman and thanked him for his work. They walked away from the street and the parade and the noise and the trouble.
+
+They went home and had hot chocolate and cookies. They hugged and kissed and told each other stories. They felt happy and safe and warm.
+
+They decided that they liked parades, but only when they were polite.
+Ben and Lily liked to pretend they were animals. They made noises and moved like cats, dogs, birds, and fish. One day, they decided to pretend they were lions. They put on yellow shirts and drew whiskers on their faces with crayons.
+
+They went to the park and roared at the other kids. They chased them and tried to catch them with their hands. Some kids laughed and played along, but some kids got scared and ran away. Ben and Lily thought it was fun to be lions.
+
+But then they saw a big dog. It was black and brown and had a long tail. It looked like a real lion, but bigger and stronger. It barked and growled at Ben and Lily. Ben and Lily stopped pretending and got very afraid. They wanted to run away, but the dog was faster.
+
+"Help!" Ben shouted. "It's a lion!"
+
+"No, it's not!" Lily said. "It's a regular dog!"
+
+But the dog did not care. It jumped at them and tried to bite them with its teeth. Ben and Lily screamed and hugged each other.
+
+Luckily, a man came and grabbed the dog. He was the dog's owner. He said he was sorry and that the dog was not mean, just playful. He put a leash on the dog and took it away.
+
+Ben and Lily were relieved and happy. They hugged each other again and said they were sorry for scaring the other kids. They decided to pretend they were something else next time. Maybe something nice and friendly, like butterflies or dolphins.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they find a big hat in the park. It is red and has many feathers.
+
+"Look at this hat!" Tom says. "It is funny and silly. I want to try it on."
+
+He puts the hat on his head. It is too big for him. It covers his eyes and ears. Anna laughs.
+
+"You look like a big bird!" she says. "A bird with no style!"
+
+Tom pretends to be angry. He chases Anna around the park. He says, "I will catch you and peck you with my beak!"
+
+Anna runs and dodges. She says, "You can't catch me, you silly bird! You can't see where you are going!"
+
+They have fun and joke with each other. They forget about the time. They do not see the old lady who owns the hat. She comes to the park and looks for her hat. She sees Tom and Anna playing with it.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" she shouts. "That is my hat! Give it back to me!"
+
+Tom and Anna hear the old lady. They stop playing. They feel guilty. They did not know the hat belonged to someone. They take the hat off and run to the old lady.
+
+"We are sorry, ma'am," Tom says. "We did not mean to take your hat. We just wanted to joke and have fun."
+
+"We did not hurt your hat," Anna says. "We think it is a nice hat. It has many colors and feathers."
+
+The old lady looks at Tom and Anna. She sees their guilty faces. She sees their dirty clothes. She feels sorry for them. She smiles.
+
+"It's okay, kids," she says. "I forgive you. You can keep the hat. Maybe you can use it for your jokes and games. But be careful. Do not take things that are not yours. And do not stay out too late."
+
+Tom and Anna thank the old lady. They are happy and surprised. They put the hat on Tom's head again. They say goodbye to the old lady. They run back to their home. They still joke and laugh. They have a new hat and a new friend.
+Sam is a little boy who likes to play with his toy animals. He has a lion, a giraffe, a zebra and a rhino. He likes to make them talk and act like they are in the jungle.
+
+One day, he decides to play a game with them. He says, "Let's see who can stretch the most. I will be the judge. Ready, set, go!"
+
+The lion stretches his legs and his tail. He says, "Roar! I can stretch very far. I am the king of the jungle."
+
+The giraffe stretches his neck and his tongue. He says, "Munch! I can stretch very high. I can reach the leaves on the trees."
+
+The zebra stretches his stripes and his ears. He says, "Neigh! I can stretch very wide. I can make myself look big and scary."
+
+The rhino stretches his horn and his nose. He says, "Snort! I can stretch very strong. I can break anything with my horn."
+
+Sam looks at them and thinks. He says, "You all can stretch very well. But I think the winner is the rhino. His horn is the most special. It is hard and sharp and shiny. He can use it to protect himself and his friends. Well done, rhino!"
+
+The rhino is happy and says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good judge. And you are a good friend. Do you want to play with my horn?"
+
+Sam says, "Yes, please. That sounds fun. Let's play together."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big lake with many boats. The boats have white sails. Anna and Ben want to go on a boat.
+
+"Look, Ben, a boat! Can we go on it?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, Anna, let's go! Maybe we can see fish and birds!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the lake and find a regular boat. It is not too big and not too small. It has a red sail. Anna and Ben climb on the boat. They are happy.
+
+"Wow, this is fun! We are on a boat!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is! Look, there is a duck! Quack, quack!" Ben says.
+
+They wave to the duck. The duck swims near the boat. Anna and Ben throw some bread to the duck. The duck eats the bread. It is happy.
+
+"Thank you, duck! You are nice!" Anna says.
+
+"Bye, duck! Have a good day!" Ben says.
+
+The duck swims away. Anna and Ben look at the other boats. They see a big boat with a blue sail. It is faster than their boat. They see a small boat with a yellow sail. It is slower than their boat. They see a funny boat with a green sail. It has spots and stripes.
+
+"Look, Ben, a funny boat! It has spots and stripes!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, Anna, it is funny! I like it!" Ben says.
+
+They laugh at the funny boat. They want to see it closer. They jump on their boat. They make it move. They go to the funny boat.
+
+"Hello, funny boat! You are pretty!" Anna says.
+
+"Hello, regular boat! You are nice!" the funny boat says.
+
+Anna and Ben are surprised. The funny boat can talk!
+
+"Wow, you can talk! How do you do that?" Ben asks.
+
+"I have a magic sail. It makes me talk. Do you want to try?" the funny boat says.
+
+"Yes, please! We want to try!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+The funny boat gives them a magic sail. It is purple. It has stars and moons. Anna and Ben put it on their boat. They are excited.
+
+"Wow, this is cool! We have a magic sail!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is! Now we can talk to the other boats!" Ben says.
+
+They thank the funny boat. They say goodbye. They go to the other boats. They talk to them. They have fun. They are happy. They have a good day.
+Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they fought over them. One day, they both wanted the same value, a red car that their dad gave them. They pulled and pushed and shouted, but neither of them would let go.
+
+"Give me the value, it's mine!" Tom said.
+
+"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Lily said.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the value and felt sad. She said, "Tom and Lily, why are you fighting? Don't you love each other?"
+
+Tom and Lily stopped and looked at their mom. They felt sorry for making her sad. They said, "Yes, mom, we love each other."
+
+"Then why don't you share the value? It's more fun to play together than to fight. And you know what? The value is not the most important thing. The most important thing is your hug. A hug is a way to show love and kindness. A hug can make you happy and warm. A hug is better than any value." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily thought about what mom said. They realized she was right. They let go of the value and gave each other a big hug. They said, "Sorry, brother. Sorry, sister. We love you."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them too. She said, "I love you too, my sweet children. Now, why don't you play with the value together? And remember, be quiet, because dad is sleeping. He worked hard today and needs some rest."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and took the value to their room. They played with it quietly and happily, and shared it with each other. They learned that hug is better than value, and that love is the best thing of all.
+Tom and Anna were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut the paper into different shapes and colors. They made stars, hearts, flowers and more.
+
+"Look, I cut a strip of blue paper," Tom said, holding up his scissors and paper.
+
+"Wow, that's nice. Can I have some?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, here you go. You can cut your own strip," Tom said, giving her some blue paper.
+
+They cut more strips of paper and made a chain. They hung it on the wall. It looked pretty.
+
+But then, their cat Lily came into the room. Lily was very nosy. She liked to sniff and touch everything. She saw the paper chain and thought it was a toy. She jumped on the wall and tried to catch it with her paws.
+
+"Hey, stop that, Lily!" Tom shouted. "You will break our chain!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She pulled the chain with her teeth and cut it into pieces. The paper fell on the floor.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, you are naughty!" Anna cried. "You ruined our chain!"
+
+Tom and Anna were sad. They worked hard on their chain and now it was gone. They picked up the paper and put it in the trash.
+
+"Maybe we can make another chain later," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe. But we need to keep Lily away from it," Anna said.
+
+They hugged each other and went to find another game to play. Lily followed them, looking sorry. She did not mean to be bad. She just wanted to have fun.
+Lily liked to skip in the spring. She liked to see the flowers and the birds and the sun. She liked to skip with her friends and her dog. She was happy.
+
+One day, she saw something unusual in the grass. It was shiny and round and had a hole in it. She was curious. She wanted to touch it. She skipped to it and picked it up.
+
+But it was not a toy. It was a trap. It made a loud noise and hurt her hand. She dropped it and screamed. Her friends and her dog ran to her. They were scared. They saw blood and smoke and metal.
+
+Lily was very hurt. She cried and cried. Her friends and her dog tried to help her. They called for help. But it was too late. Lily died. She could not skip anymore. She was gone.
+
+The end.
+Lily loved to visit her aunt Rose. Aunt Rose had a big house with many shiny things. Lily liked to touch the shiny things and see her face in them. Aunt Rose did not mind. She said Lily was a good girl who helped her polish the shiny things.
+
+One day, Lily and Aunt Rose were polishing a big silver tray. Lily asked, "Aunt Rose, why do you have so many shiny things?"
+
+Aunt Rose smiled and said, "These shiny things are gifts from people who love me. They are very kind and generous. But I do not need so many shiny things. I am happy with what I have. I am a modest person."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I love you, Aunt Rose. You are very kind and generous too. You always share your shiny things with me. You are not modest. You are wonderful."
+
+Aunt Rose hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are wonderful too. You always make me happy with your sweet words. You are not modest. You are smart and beautiful."
+
+They laughed and continued to polish the big silver tray. They were happy and shiny.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They are happy.
+
+But today, the wind is very strong. It blows their hats and scarves. It makes them cold and tired. They do not like the wind.
+
+"Let's go home, Lila," Tom says. "The wind is too much."
+
+"OK, Tom," Lila says. "But can we stop at the bakery first? I want a cookie."
+
+"Me too," Tom says. "A cookie sounds good."
+
+They walk to the bakery. The wind pushes them. They hold hands. They see the baker. He is chubby and kind. He smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, Lila and Tom," he says. "What can I get you?"
+
+"Two cookies, please," Lila says. "Chocolate chip."
+
+"Here you go," the baker says. He gives them two big cookies. "You can rest here for a while. The wind is very strong today."
+
+"Thank you, baker," Tom says. He takes a bite of his cookie. It is warm and sweet.
+
+Lila and Tom sit on a bench. They eat their cookies. They rest. They feel better. The wind is still strong, but they do not mind. They have each other and a cookie. They are happy.
+Anna liked to visit her grandpa on his farm. He had many animals, but her favorite was a sheep named Fluffy. Fluffy was very soft and friendly, and liked to follow Anna around.
+
+One day, Anna's grandpa said, "I have a surprise for you, Anna. Do you want to see it?" Anna nodded and smiled. She loved surprises.
+
+Her grandpa took her to the barn, where he showed her a small box. Inside the box, there was a baby sheep. It was white and fluffy, just like Fluffy. Anna gasped and clapped her hands. "Is it mine?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, it is," her grandpa said. "You can name it and take care of it. Fluffy is its mama, and she will help you. But you have to be gentle and kind to it, because it is very small and weak."
+
+Anna hugged her grandpa and thanked him. She was so happy to receive the baby sheep. She decided to name it Snowy, because it looked like snow. She took Snowy out of the box and cuddled it. Fluffy came over and licked Snowy's head. Anna felt very strong and proud. She had a new friend.
+Timmy was hungry. He wanted to eat pasta for dinner. He liked pasta a lot. It was his favorite food. He asked his mom if she could make pasta for him.
+
+"Mom, can I have pasta, please?" he said.
+
+"Sure, Timmy, I can make pasta for you. But you have to wait a little bit. I have to boil the water and cook the pasta. Why don't you play with your toys in the living room?" his mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom, I will play with my toys. But hurry up, I am very hungry!" Timmy said.
+
+Timmy went to the living room. He saw his toys on the floor. He saw his ball, his car, his bear, and his train. He decided to play with his train. He liked his train a lot. It was his favorite toy. He made the train go around the track. He made the train go fast and slow. He made the train make noises. He had fun with his train.
+
+But he was still hungry. He wanted to eat pasta. He wondered if his mom was done with the pasta. He decided to go to the kitchen and see. He left his train on the floor. He walked to the kitchen. He did not see his ball on the floor. He did not see his car on the floor. He did not see his bear on the floor. He only saw his train on the floor.
+
+He walked to the kitchen. He was almost there. He was very excited. He hoped his mom had pasta for him. He smelled the pasta. It smelled good. He wanted to eat it. He walked faster.
+
+But he did not see his train on the floor. He stepped on his train. He lost his balance. He stumbled. He fell. He hit his head on the table. He cried. He hurt his head. He saw blood. He was scared.
+
+His mom heard him cry. She ran to him. She saw him on the floor. She saw his head. She saw the blood. She was scared too. She picked him up. She hugged him. She said sorry. She said she would take him to the doctor. She said he would be okay.
+
+But he was not okay. He had a huge bump on his head. He had a huge cut on his head. He had to get stitches. He had to stay in the hospital. He did not get to eat pasta. He did not get to play with his toys. He did not have fun. He had a bad day. He wished he had not stepped on his train. He wished he had not stumbled. He wished he had not hurt his head. He wished he had eaten pasta.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to pretend that their dolls were friends and had adventures together. They made up stories and talked to their dolls in funny voices.
+
+One day, they found a shiny needle on the ground. They did not know what it was, but it looked interesting. Lily picked it up and showed it to Tom.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a needle. What can we do with it?" she asked.
+
+Tom looked at the needle and thought for a moment. He had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can use it to make clothes for our dolls. We can find some cloth and thread and sew them together," he said.
+
+Lily liked the idea. She thought it would be fun to make new outfits for their dolls. She nodded and smiled.
+
+"Okay, let's do that. But we have to be careful with the needle. It is very sharp and can hurt us," she said.
+
+They agreed and went to look for some cloth and thread. They found some old rags and a spool of thread in the shed. They brought them to the garden and started to cut and sew. They worked hard and had a good time. They discussed what colors and patterns they liked and how to make the clothes fit their dolls.
+
+Soon, they had made some beautiful clothes for their dolls. They dressed them up and admired their work. They were very proud of themselves. They hugged their dolls and each other.
+
+"We did a great job, Tom. Our dolls look so pretty and happy. They have new clothes and new friends," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, we did, Lily. We are very clever and creative. Our dolls are lucky to have us. They have a peaceful and fun life," Tom said.
+
+They smiled and continued to play with their dolls. They made up more stories and talked to their dolls in funny voices. They were happy and peaceful too.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a spade and a bucket. They dug a hole and filled it with water. They pretended it was a pond for the frogs.
+
+"Look, Lily, a frog!" Tom said. He pointed to a green thing that jumped out of the hole. "Let's feed it!"
+
+"What do frogs eat?" Lily asked. She looked around for some food.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe bugs?" Tom said. He saw a fly buzzing near a flower. He tried to catch it with his hand, but it flew away.
+
+"Maybe we can find some worms," Lily said. She used the spade to dig deeper in the dirt. She found a long, wriggly thing. "Here, froggy, froggy!" She held the worm in front of the hole.
+
+The frog looked at the worm. It opened its mouth and snapped it up. It made a croak sound.
+
+"Wow, it ate it!" Tom said. He clapped his hands. "Good froggy!"
+
+Lily and Tom smiled. They were happy they fed the frog. They wanted to find more food for it.
+
+But then they heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Tom, time to come inside! It's getting cold!"
+
+Lily and Tom put down the spade and the bucket. They ran to their mom. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She took them inside the house. She made them some hot chocolate and cookies.
+
+They told her about the frog and the worm. She listened and smiled. She was proud of them. She said they were very kind to the animals.
+
+Lily and Tom drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookies. They were warm and cozy. They wondered if the frog was still in the hole. They hoped it was not too cold. They decided to visit it again tomorrow.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They like to play with their toys and their baby brother, Sam. Sam is very small and cute. He cannot talk or walk yet, but he can smile and laugh.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a big bag of candy in the kitchen. They love candy. It is sweet and yummy. They want to eat some, but they know they have to ask Mom first. Mom is busy in the living room. She is talking on the phone. Lily and Ben think Mom will not see them if they are quiet.
+
+They take the bag of candy and go to their bedroom. They open the bag and see many colors and shapes of candy. They pick their favorites and put them in their mouths. They chew and chew and enjoy the taste. They feel happy and sneaky.
+
+But they do not notice that Sam has followed them. He is curious and wants to play with them. He sees the candy and thinks it is a toy. He crawls to the bag and grabs a piece. He puts it in his mouth and tries to chew. But he does not have teeth yet. He cannot chew the candy. He chokes and coughs. He feels scared and sad.
+
+Lily and Ben hear Sam's noise. They turn around and see him. They see the candy in his mouth. They know he is in trouble. They drop their candy and run to him. They take the candy out of his mouth and hug him. They say sorry and tell him they love him. They call Mom and tell her what happened. Mom comes and checks on Sam. She is glad he is okay. She is angry and worried. She scolds Lily and Ben for taking the candy and giving it to Sam. She tells them candy is not good for babies or for them. She tells them they have to ask before they eat anything. She tells them they have to watch out for Sam and keep him safe. She tells them they have to be good and responsible.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry and ashamed. They apologize to Mom and to Sam. They promise to be good and to share their toys with Sam. They promise to not eat candy without asking. They promise to love and protect Sam. Mom hugs them and forgives them. She tells them she loves them and she is proud of them. She tells them they are a good family. They all smile and hug. They feel happy and sorry.
+Lily and Max liked to play in the library. They liked to look at the books with many pictures and colors. They also liked to slide on the big carpet. Sometimes they made a lot of noise and the librarian told them to be quiet.
+
+One day, they found a very big book on a shelf. It was a dictionary. It had many words and letters, but no pictures. Lily and Max wanted to see what was inside. They pulled the book from the shelf, but it was too heavy. The book fell on the floor with a loud thud.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "We made a big mess!"
+
+The librarian heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the dictionary on the floor and the books on the shelf out of order. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "This is a library, not a playground. You have to be careful with the books. They are not toys. You have to put them back where they belong."
+
+Lily and Max felt sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They helped the librarian to pick up the dictionary and the other books. They said they were sorry and they would not slide on the carpet anymore.
+
+The librarian smiled and thanked them. She said they could still look at the books with pictures and colors, but they had to be gentle and quiet. She also showed them some words in the dictionary that they might like to learn.
+
+Lily and Max nodded and listened. They learned some new words and they had fun. They decided they liked the library and the dictionary, but they liked them in different ways.
+Lia and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big box. They make the box into a nation. They draw a flag and a map on the box. They say they are the leaders of the nation.
+

+
+Lia and Ben look at each other. They are not sure. They like their nation. They say, "Maybe. What can you do?"
+
+Sam says, "I can sing and dance and tell jokes. I can be fun."
+
+Lia and Ben think. They like fun. They say, "OK. You can be in our nation. But you have to follow our rules."
+
+Sam says, "What are your rules?"
+
+Lia and Ben say, "You have to be nice and share and help. And you have to say our motto every day."
+
+Sam says, "What is your motto?"
+

+
+Sam says, "That is a good motto. I can say that. We are persistent. We never give up."

+Lia and Ben smile. They say, "Welcome to our nation, Sam. Let's play."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was on top.
+
+They helped each other to reach the first branch. Then they climbed higher and higher. They were very careful not to fall. They felt like birds in the sky. They looked around and saw many things. They saw the sun, the clouds, the birds, the flowers and the other children.
+
+They also saw something unusual. It was a piece of paper. It was stuck on a branch. It had many colors and shapes on it. It looked like a picture. Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to see the paper better.
+
+"Look, Lily, a paper!" Ben said.
+
+"What is on the paper, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's find out!" Ben said.
+
+They climbed closer to the paper. They reached out their hands and grabbed it. They pulled it gently. The paper came off the branch. They looked at the paper. It was a map. It had a big X on it. It also had a message. It said: "Find the treasure!"
+
+"Wow, a map!" Lily said.
+
+"A treasure!" Ben said.
+
+"Where is the treasure, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we can find it!" Ben said.
+
+They looked at the map. They saw a path, a bridge, a pond and a hill. They saw the X on the hill. They thought the treasure was there.
+
+"Let's go, Lily! Let's find the treasure!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben! Let's go!" Lily said.
+
+They put the map in their pocket. They climbed down the tree. They ran to the path. They followed the map. They wanted to find the treasure. They were very excited. They wondered what the treasure was. Maybe it was gold, or jewels, or toys, or candy. They hoped it was something good. They hoped it was something fun. They hoped it was something unusual.
+Sara was a gifted girl who loved to read books. She had many books in her room, but her favorite ones were about mystery. She liked to solve puzzles and find clues with the smart heroes and heroines. Every night, she would read a book before she went to sleep.

+
+She read and read, turning the pages and following the adventure. She did not notice how late it was, or how dark it was outside. She did not hear her mom calling her to bed, or her dad knocking on her door. She only wanted to finish the book and see the end.
+
+But as she read, she started to feel tired. Her eyes became heavy and her head nodded. She tried to stay awake, but she could not. She yawned and yawned, and then she fell asleep with the book in her hands.
+
+The next morning, she woke up and saw the book on her pillow. She smiled and remembered the story. She wondered what happened to the teddy. She opened the book and looked at the last page. But she could not read it. It was all blurry and strange. She rubbed her eyes and looked again. It was still blurry and strange. She was confused and sad. She wanted to know the end.
+
+She ran to her mom and showed her the book. She asked her what was wrong with it. Her mom looked at the book and laughed. She told Sara that the book was not blurry and strange. It was in a different language. She had picked a book that was not in English, but in French. She said that Sara was so gifted that she could read a book in another language without knowing it. She said that Sara was amazing and clever.
+
+Sara was surprised and happy. She did not know she could read French. She asked her mom to teach her what the words meant. Her mom said she would, and they sat down together and read the book. Sara learned the end of the mystery and the meaning of the words. She was proud and happy. She had read a book in French and solved a mystery. She had a new language and a new adventure. She hugged her mom and thanked her for the book. She said it was the best book ever.
+Lily and Ben are friends who like to jog in the park. They wear helmets to be safe. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is barking and running fast.
+
+"Look, Lily, a dog!" Ben says. "Do you want to pet it?"
+
+Lily feels anxious. She does not like big dogs. She thinks they are scary. She shakes her head and says, "No, Ben, I don't want to pet it. I want to go away."
+
+Ben is not afraid of dogs. He thinks they are fun. He says, "Don't worry, Lily, the dog is nice. He just wants to play. Come on, let's jog to him."
+
+Lily does not want to jog to the dog. She wants to jog away from the dog. She says, "No, Ben, please, let's jog to the swings. The swings are fun. The dog is not fun."
+
+Ben sees that Lily is very anxious. He does not want to make her sad. He says, "Okay, Lily, we can jog to the swings. Maybe the dog will follow us and we can play with him later."
+
+Lily and Ben jog to the swings. They put their helmets on the ground and swing high. They have fun. The dog does not follow them. He finds another friend to play with. Lily and Ben are happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to eat yogurt for breakfast. They have different flavors. Sara likes strawberry yogurt. Ben likes banana yogurt.
+
+One morning, Sara and Ben are sitting at the table. They have their yogurt cups and spoons. Sara opens her yogurt and starts to eat. Ben opens his yogurt and makes a face.
+
+"Yuck!" Ben says. "This is not banana yogurt. This is peach yogurt. I don't like peach yogurt."
+
+Sara looks at Ben's yogurt. She sees a picture of a peach on the lid. She smiles.
+
+"Oops!" Sara says. "I think we switched our yogurts by mistake. I have your banana yogurt. You have my peach yogurt. Do you want to trade?"
+
+Ben nods. He likes banana yogurt. He does not like peach yogurt. He gives his yogurt to Sara. Sara gives her yogurt to Ben. They trade their spoons too.
+
+"Thank you, Sara," Ben says. "You are a good sister."
+
+"You're welcome, Ben," Sara says. "You are a good brother."

+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sack on a bench. They were curious.
+
+"What is in the sack?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's look," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the bench and opened the sack. Inside, they found many toys. There were dolls, cars, balls, books, and more.
+
+"Wow! These are fun toys!" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe someone left them for us," Tom said.
+
+They took out the toys and played with them. They had a lot of fun. They shared the toys and made up stories.
+
+After a while, they heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, kids! Have you seen my sack?"
+
+They looked up and saw a man. He looked angry. He was holding a sign. The sign said: "Toys for charity. Please donate."
+
+The man saw the sack and the toys. He walked to the bench.
+
+"Those are my toys! I was collecting them for the children who have no toys. You took them without asking. That is not nice," he said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They did not know the toys were for charity. They thought they were a gift.
+
+"We are sorry, sir. We did not know. We thought the sack was for us," Lily said.
+
+"We just wanted to play. We did not mean to be bad," Tom said.
+
+The man sighed. He saw that the kids were sorry. He decided to be kind.
+
+"It's okay. I understand. You made a mistake. But you have to learn to respect other people's things. Next time, you should ask before you take something. Do you understand?" he said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They understood.
+
+"Yes, sir. We understand. We are sorry," they said.
+
+They helped the man put the toys back in the sack. They said goodbye to him. They learned a lesson.
+
+The man thanked them. He smiled. He was happy. He had a successful day. He collected many toys for charity. He hoped the children who had no toys would enjoy them. He hoped Lily and Tom would be good friends. He hoped they would grow up to be kind and generous. He hoped they would have a happy life.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box under a tree. It has a bow and a tag. The tag says: "For Sara and Ben. A surprise from Mom and Dad."
+
+"What is it?" Sara asks.
+
+"Let's open it and see," Ben says.
+
+They run to the box and pull the bow. Inside, they find two teddy bears. One is brown and one is white. They are soft and cuddly.
+
+"Wow, they are so nice!" Sara says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Ben says.
+
+They hug their teddy bears and smile. Then, they look at each other and giggle.
+
+"Can I kiss your teddy bear?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, you can. Can I kiss yours?" Ben asks.
+
+"Okay, you can. But be gentle," Sara says.
+
+They kiss each other's teddy bears on the nose. They feel happy and warm.
+
+"That was easy," Ben says.
+
+"Yes, it was. And fun," Sara says.
+
+They put their teddy bears in the box and carry it to the swings. They swing high and low, with their teddy bears in their arms. They are the best friends ever.
+Lila likes to play in the soil. She has a small shovel and a bucket. She digs and fills the bucket with soil. She dumps the soil on the ground and makes a hill. She is happy.
+
+But then she sees a worm. The worm is long and brown. It wriggles in the soil. Lila is curious. She picks up the worm and looks at it. She thinks it is funny.
+
+She wonders if the worm is hungry. She remembers that worms eat soil. She puts the worm on the hill and gives it some soil. She says, "Here, worm, eat this. It is good for you."
+
+The worm starts to eat the soil. It makes a hole in the hill. Lila watches the worm. She smiles. She thinks the worm is happy too.

+
+He took the weapon and went outside. He saw a wild dog in the street. It was big and black and had yellow teeth. It barked at Tom. Tom was not scared. He wanted to be a hero. He ran at the dog with the weapon.
+
+The dog was faster than Tom. It jumped at him and bit his arm. Tom dropped the weapon and screamed. The dog ran away with the weapon in its mouth. Tom was bleeding and crying.

+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their room. One night, they decided to have a fun game with their flashlight. They turned off the lights and took turns shining the flashlight on the walls and the ceiling. They made funny shapes and shadows with their hands and laughed a lot.
+
+But Lily was bossy and wanted to have the flashlight all the time. She did not let Max have a turn and said, "I am older than you by two minutes, so I am the boss. You have to do what I say." Max was sad and angry. He wanted to play with the flashlight too. He said, "No, you are not the boss. You are mean. Give me the flashlight or I will tell Mommy."
+
+Lily did not listen to Max and kept the flashlight. She said, "You are a baby. You can't tell Mommy anything. Go away and leave me alone." She shone the flashlight in Max's eyes and made him cry. Max ran out of the room and went to find Mommy.
+
+Mommy heard Max crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily in the dark room with the flashlight and asked, "What are you doing, Lily? Why did you make Max cry?" Lily felt scared and guilty. She knew she had been bad to Max and Mommy would be mad at her. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I was playing with the flashlight and I was bossy to Max. I did not let him have a turn and I hurt his eyes. I regret it, Mommy. I regret it a lot."
+
+Mommy hugged Lily and said, "I'm glad you are sorry, Lily. But you have to say sorry to Max too. And you have to share the flashlight with him. It is not nice to be bossy and selfish. You have to be kind and fair to your brother. He loves you and wants to play with you." Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. I will say sorry to Max and share the flashlight with him. I love him too and I want to play with him." Mommy smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. Now go and find Max and make up with him. And then you can both come and have some cookies and milk before bed." Lily said, "Okay, Mommy. Thank you, Mommy." She took the flashlight and went to look for Max. She hoped he would forgive her and play with her again.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump, and slide. One day, they saw a big truck with a cage on it. Inside the cage, there was a tiger. The tiger looked sad and angry. It had black and orange fur and big teeth.
+
+"Wow, look at the tiger!" Tom said. "It is so big and strong!"
+
+"I don't like the tiger," Lily said. "It is scary and smelly. It makes loud noises."
+
+The truck stopped near the park. The man who drove the truck got out. He had a key in his hand. He opened the cage to give the tiger some food.
+
+Tom and Lily watched from behind a tree. They wanted to see the tiger eat. But the tiger had a different plan. It saw the open cage and the man. It jumped out of the cage and ran away. It was free!
+
+The man shouted and ran after the tiger. The tiger was faster. It ran towards the park. It saw Tom and Lily hiding behind the tree. It growled and ran towards them.
+
+Tom and Lily were very scared. They did not know what to do. They could not run away. The tiger was too close. They could not climb the tree. The tiger could climb too.
+
+They had only one chance. They had to pass the tiger. They had to run past it and get to the other side of the park. They had to be brave and fast.
+
+They waited for the right moment. When the tiger was almost near them, they ran. They ran as fast as they could. They passed the tiger. The tiger was surprised. It missed them. It turned around and chased them.
+
+But Tom and Lily were faster. They reached the other side of the park. They saw a fence. They climbed over the fence and got out of the park. They were safe!
+
+They looked back and saw the tiger. It was still in the park. It could not climb the fence. It was trapped. It roared and paced around.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged each other. They were happy. They had passed the tiger. They had escaped. They ran home and told their mom and dad what happened. They were very proud of themselves. They had been brave and fast. They had been smart. They had passed the tiger.
+Lily was a gifted girl. She could draw, sing and dance very well. She loved to show her family her talents. But sometimes, her brother Tom was mean to her. He said she was a show-off and a baby.
+
+One day, Lily was drawing a picture of a rainbow. She used many colors and made it very bright. She wanted to give it to her mom as a gift. But Tom saw her picture and laughed.
+
+"That's a silly picture," he said. "Rainbows are not like that. They are only seven colors. You don't know anything."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She knew her picture was good. She wanted to make Tom stop.
+
+"I do know," she said. "And I can draw better than you. I dare you to draw a rainbow. Let's see who can do it better."
+
+Tom was surprised. He thought Lily was scared of him. He did not like to be dared. He wanted to prove he was smarter.
+
+"Fine," he said. "I'll draw a rainbow. And I'll show you how it's done."
+
+He took a paper and some crayons. He started to draw a rainbow. But he only used six colors. He forgot the color purple. He did not notice his mistake.
+
+He finished his drawing and showed it to Lily. He smiled and said, "See? This is a real rainbow. Yours is wrong. I win."
+
+Lily looked at his drawing. She saw the missing color. She smiled and said, "No, you don't. You forgot the color purple. Look at the sky. There are seven colors in a rainbow. Yours is wrong. I win."
+
+Tom looked at the sky. He saw the purple color. He realized his mistake. He felt embarrassed and angry. He did not like to lose.
+
+He crumpled his paper and threw it away. He ran to his room and slammed the door. He did not want to talk to Lily.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tom. She did not want to hurt his feelings. She wanted to be friends with him. She picked up his paper and smoothed it out. She added the color purple to his rainbow. She wrote his name and a heart on it. She went to his room and knocked on the door.
+
+"Tom, I'm sorry," she said. "I didn't mean to make you mad. I like your drawing. It's very good. I made it better. I want to give it to you as a gift. Can we be friends?"
+
+Tom heard her voice. He felt a little better. He opened the door and saw her smiling. He saw his drawing with the purple color and the heart. He felt touched. He took the drawing and hugged her.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," he said. "I'm sorry too. You are a gifted girl. And a good sister. I love you."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They went to their mom and showed her their drawings. She was proud of them. She said they were both gifted and loved. They were a happy family.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside when it is sunny. One day, they see a big puddle near the mailbox. They run to the puddle and jump in. They splash water on each other and laugh.
+
+But then, Lily slips and falls. She hits her head on the mailbox. She feels dizzy and starts to cry. Ben sees Lily and runs to help her. He hugs her and says sorry. He helps her get up and holds her hand.
+
+They go back to their house. Mom sees them and asks what happened. They tell her about the puddle and the mailbox. Mom says they are brave and gives them a kiss. She puts a band-aid on Lily's head and a towel on their clothes. She says they can have a snack and watch a show. Lily and Ben smile and say thank you. They are happy to be together.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big yellow lemon on the table. Lily wanted to smell it, but Tom wanted to squeeze it.
+
+"Let me have it!" Tom said. He tried to grab the lemon from Lily.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She held the lemon tight.
+
+They pulled and pushed, but neither of them could get the lemon. Then they heard a loud snap. The lemon broke in half. Juice squirted everywhere.
+
+"Uh-oh," Lily and Tom said. They looked at the mess. They saw a wire sticking out of the lemon. It was attached to a battery and a light bulb.
+
+Mom came into the kitchen. She saw the lemon, the wire, the battery, and the light bulb. She also saw Lily and Tom with juice on their faces and clothes.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asked. She was not happy.
+
+"We were playing with the lemon," Lily and Tom said.
+
+"That's not a lemon, that's a science project!" Mom said. "It's supposed to show how electricity works. You broke it!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They did not know it was a science project. They thought it was a lemon.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom," Lily and Tom said.
+
+Mom sighed. She was not very mad. She knew they were curious.
+
+"It's okay, but next time, ask before you touch something," Mom said. "And don't play with wires and batteries. They can be dangerous."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They helped Mom clean up the mess. They also learned a new word: electricity.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go on walks with their dad. One day, they saw a big building with a wheel that turned in the water. Dad said it was a mill, where people made flour from wheat. Lily and Ben wanted to see inside the mill, so they asked dad if they could go.
+
+"Please, dad, can we go to the mill?" they requested.
+
+"Okay, but we have to be careful and follow the rules," dad said. "The mill is fast and loud, and there are many machines that can hurt you."
+
+They followed dad to the mill, where a nice man greeted them. He said he was the miller, and he showed them how the wheat came in trucks and was cleaned and crushed and turned into flour. He also showed them the big wheel that made the power for the mill, and how the water pushed it around. Lily and Ben thought it was very interesting and fun.
+
+"Thank you for showing us the mill," they said to the miller.
+
+"You're welcome, kids," the miller said. "But now you have to go, because the mill is very busy and I have to work."
+
+Lily and Ben said goodbye to the miller and followed dad back to the road. They were happy that they had seen the mill, and they asked dad if they could come back another day.
+
+"Maybe, if the miller lets us," dad said. "But now we have to go home and have some bread made from the flour from the mill."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They liked bread, and they liked the mill. They held dad's hand and walked home.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today they are playing bakery. Lila is the baker and Ben is the customer.
+
+Lila puts some flour, water, and sugar in a big bowl. She stirs and stirs with a wooden spoon. She wants to make a cake. She says, "This is my cake mix. It is very yummy."
+
+Ben comes to the bakery. He has a toy wallet with some money. He says, "Hello, baker. I want to buy a cake. How much is it?"
+
+Lila looks at the money. She sees some coins and some paper. She does not know how much they are worth. She says, "You can have a cake for one coin or one paper. You choose."
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He is very intelligent. He knows that paper is more than coin. He says, "I will give you one coin. Here you go."
+
+Lila takes the coin and puts it in a jar. She says, "Thank you, customer. Here is your cake." She gives Ben a slice of bread with some jam. She says, "This is your cake. It is very yummy."
+
+Ben takes the bread and jam. He says, "Thank you, baker. This is a very yummy cake." He takes a bite and smiles. He says, "You are a very good baker."
+
+Lila and Ben are happy. They like to play pretend. They like to play bakery.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big green slide. Tom wants to go on the slide. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder.
+
+"Anna, come and join me!" he shouts. "The slide is fun!"
+
+Anna shakes her head. She does not like the slide. She thinks it is too high and too fast. She is stubborn. She wants to play with the swings.
+
+"No, thank you, Tom. I like the swings better. You can go on the slide by yourself."
+
+Tom is sad. He wants Anna to join him. He thinks the slide is more fun than the swings. He is stubborn too. He does not want to play with the swings.
+
+"Please, Anna, please. The slide is not scary. It is easy and fun. You will like it. Just try it once."
+
+Anna looks at Tom. She sees that he is sad. She does not want to make him sad. She is his friend. She decides to try the slide. She walks to the slide and climbs up the ladder.
+
+"Okay, Tom, okay. I will try the slide. But only once. Then we can play with the swings."
+
+Tom is happy. He smiles at Anna. He waits for her at the bottom of the slide.
+
+"Ready, Anna? Ready? Here we go!"
+
+Anna nods. She is nervous. She sits on the slide and pushes herself down. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She goes faster and faster. She reaches the bottom and lands on the grass. She laughs.
+
+"Wow, Tom, wow. That was fun. That was very fun. Can we do it again?"
+
+Tom laughs too. He hugs Anna.
+
+"Of course, Anna, of course. We can do it again. And then we can play with the swings. We can play with anything we want. We are friends."
+
+Anna and Tom are happy. They join each other on the slide. They have fun. They are not stubborn anymore. They are friends.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with balls. They have a big ball and a small ball. The big ball is smooth and red. The small ball is bumpy and blue.
+
+One day, they go to the park. They see a hill. They want to roll the balls down the hill. They take turns to roll the big ball. The big ball goes fast and far. They run after it and laugh.
+
+Then, Sam says, "Let me roll the small ball. It is my ball." Tom says, "No, it is too bumpy. It will not roll well." Sam says, "Yes, it will. Watch me." He takes the small ball and rolls it down the hill.
+
+But the small ball does not roll well. It bounces and jumps. It hits a rock and flies in the air. It lands on a car. The car has a window. The window breaks. The ball goes inside the car.
+
+The car has a man. The man is angry. He sees the ball and the boys. He gets out of the car. He shouts, "Who did this? Who broke my window?" He picks up the ball and throws it at the boys.
+
+The ball hits Sam in the face. Sam cries. He has a bruise and a cut. Tom is scared. He runs away. He leaves Sam alone.
+
+Sam is sad and hurt. He has no friend and no ball. He wishes he did not roll the small ball. He wishes he listened to Tom. He wishes he had a smooth ball.
+Ben and Lily were ready for bed. They brushed their teeth, put on their pajamas, and hugged their mom and dad good night. They climbed into their bunk bed and turned off the light.
+
+"Can we tell stories?" Lily asked from the bottom bunk.
+
+"Okay," Ben said from the top bunk. "But not too scary."
+
+He grabbed his flashlight and shone it on his face. He made a funny voice and said, "Once upon a time, there was a big, hairy monster who lived in the woods. He liked to eat little children who wandered too far from their home."
+
+Lily gasped and pulled her blanket over her head. "That's too scary, Ben!"
+
+Ben laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's just a story. The monster is not real."
+
+He continued, "One day, the monster saw a brave boy and a smart girl who were walking in the woods. He decided to chase them and catch them for his dinner. He roared and ran after them, but they were faster and smarter. They found a big hole in the ground and jumped in. The monster followed them, but he was too big and got stuck. He could not move or get out. He was very angry and sad."
+
+Lily peeked out from her blanket and said, "What happened next?"
+
+Ben said, "The boy and the girl found a secret tunnel in the hole. They followed it and came out in a beautiful garden. There were flowers and butterflies and birds. They were safe and happy. They found a nice house and a kind lady who gave them cookies and milk. They lived there forever and never saw the monster again. The end."
+
+Lily clapped and said, "That was a good story, Ben. I liked the happy ending."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Me too, Lily. Me too."
+
+He turned off his flashlight and said, "Good night, Lily."
+
+"Good night, Ben," Lily said.
+
+They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of the garden and the cookies and the lady. They did not dream of the monster.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tree with many green leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+They held the branches and pulled themselves up. They felt happy and brave. They looked at the birds and the clouds. They smiled at each other.
+
+But then, a loud noise made them jump. It was a dog barking. The dog was big and black. It ran towards the tree. It wanted to play with Ben and Lily.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They did not like the dog. They stared at the dog. The dog stared back. It wagged its tail and jumped.
+
+Ben and Lily lost their balance. They let go of the branches. They felt a fall. They fell to the ground. They felt pain and tears.
+
+The dog ran away. It did not mean to hurt Ben and Lily. It just wanted to say hello.
+
+Ben and Lily cried. They hugged each other. They felt uncomfortable and sad. They wanted to go home.
+
+A lady came to help them. She was kind and gentle. She gave them a band-aid and a hug. She told them they were brave and strong. She took them to their mom and dad.
+
+Ben and Lily felt better. They thanked the lady. They said sorry to the tree. They learned to be careful when they climb. They still liked the park, but they did not like the dog.
+Ben and Lily were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They packed their luggage with clothes, toys and books. Ben had a big blue suitcase and Lily had a small pink one. Ben was jealous of Lily's suitcase. He thought it was prettier and nicer than his.
+
+"Mom, can I have Lily's suitcase?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, Ben, that's Lily's suitcase. You have your own. Don't be jealous," Mom said.
+
+"But I like hers better. It has flowers and hearts on it. Mine is boring," Ben said.
+
+"Ben, stop it. You have a nice suitcase too. It has stars and rockets on it. You like those, don't you?" Mom said.
+
+Ben did not answer. He was still jealous. He decided to take Lily's suitcase when no one was looking. He waited until Mom and Dad were busy loading the car. He sneaked into Lily's room and grabbed her suitcase. He ran outside and put it in the car. He hid his suitcase under the bed.
+
+Lily came out of the bathroom and saw that her suitcase was gone. She looked around and saw Ben's suitcase under the bed. She was confused and angry.
+
+"Ben, where is my suitcase?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe you lost it," Ben lied.
+
+"No, I didn't. You took it. You wanted it. Give it back to me," Lily said.
+
+"No, it's mine now. You can have mine," Ben said.
+
+Lily started to cry. She ran to Mom and Dad and told them what Ben did. Mom and Dad were very upset. They scolded Ben and made him give back Lily's suitcase. They also took away his suitcase and said he could not bring it on the trip. They said he had to supply his own clothes and toys from the car.
+
+Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He wished he had not been jealous. He wished he had not taken Lily's suitcase. He wished he had his own suitcase. He had no clothes, no toys, no books. He had nothing. He had a bad trip.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. The slide has a zip and a loop. Ben and Mia want to try the slide.
+
+"Can we go on the slide?" Ben asks Mia.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Mia says. They run to the slide. They wait for their turn.
+
+Ben goes first. He sits on the zip. He holds on tight. He goes down the slide. He goes very fast. He goes through the loop. He feels happy. He lands on the ground. He laughs.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" Ben says.
+
+Mia goes next. She sits on the zip. She holds on tight. She goes down the slide. She goes very fast. She goes through the loop. She feels scared. She closes her eyes. She lands on the ground. She cries.
+
+"Ow, that hurt!" Mia says.
+
+Ben runs to Mia. He hugs her. He says sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Mia. Don't cry. The slide is deep. It is not for little kids. Let's play something else." Ben says.
+

+
+"Okay, Ben. Thank you. Let's play on the swings." Mia says.
+
+They hold hands. They walk to the swings. They have fun. They are friends.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, but they always wanted more. They saw a big box on the table. It had a picture of a network of trains and tracks. They wanted to play with it.
+
+"Can we open the box, Mom?" Tim asked.
+
+"No, not yet. That is a present for your cousin Ben. He is coming over later. You have to choose one of your own toys to play with," Mom said.
+
+"But we want the network!" Lily whined.
+
+"Sorry, you can't have it. It is not yours. It is Ben's. Be nice and share your toys with him when he comes," Mom said.
+
+Tim and Lily were not happy. They did not like Ben. He was mean and rude. He always broke their toys and made a mess. He was disgusting. They did not want to share their toys with him.
+
+They had an idea. They waited until Mom was busy in the kitchen. Then they sneaked to the table and opened the box. They took out the network of trains and tracks and started to play with it. They made the trains go fast and crash into each other. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But they did not see that Ben had arrived. He saw them playing with his network. He was angry. He ran to the living room and shouted.
+
+"Hey, that is mine! Give it back! You are ruining it!"
+
+He grabbed the network from Tim and Lily. He pulled and tugged. They did not let go. They fought and screamed. The network broke into pieces. They all cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken network and the crying children. She was very upset.
+
+"What have you done? You ruined Ben's present! That was very naughty and selfish of you! You have to apologize and make up. And you have to choose a different toy to play with. Now!" Mom said.
+
+Tim and Lily felt sorry. They said sorry to Ben and Mom. They hugged and made up. They chose a different toy to play with. They learned to be nice and share. They did not want to be disgusting.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They splash and laugh and make bubbles. But Anna is impatient. She wants to get out and dry herself with the towel.
+
+"Ben, I want to get out now!" she says.
+
+"No, Anna, wait a bit. It is fun in the water!" Ben says.
+
+"But I am cold and bored. And I want the towel. It is soft and warm and pink. My favorite!" Anna says.
+
+She tries to grab the towel from the hook. But it is too high for her. She stands on the edge of the bath. She reaches and reaches. But she slips and falls. She hits her head on the floor. She cries.
+
+"Anna, are you okay?" Ben says. He is scared. He jumps out of the bath. He runs to Anna. He wraps the towel around her. He hugs her.
+
+"I am sorry, Anna. I should have listened to you. You can have the towel. It is yours." Ben says.
+
+Anna stops crying. She feels the towel on her skin. She feels Ben's arms around her. She trusts Ben. He is her brother. He loves her.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. I love you too. And I am sorry too. I should have waited for you. It is more fun to play together." Anna says.
+
+They smile at each other. They are happy. They are twins.
+Lily liked to eat sausage for breakfast. She liked the smell and the taste of the meat. But her brother Max did not like sausage. He liked to eat toast and jam. He said sausage was yucky and smelly.
+
+One morning, Lily and Max sat at the table with their plates. Lily had sausage and Max had toast. Lily smiled and said, "Sausage is yummy. You should try some, Max."
+
+Max shook his head and said, "No, thank you. I like toast. Sausage is yucky. I don't want any."
+
+Lily said, "But sausage is good for you. It has protein and iron. And it is not yucky. It is juicy and crispy. Please, have a bite, Max."
+
+Max said, "No, no, no. I don't like sausage. I will not eat it. I will resist it. You can have it all, Lily."
+
+Lily shrugged and said, "Okay, fine. More sausage for me. But you are missing out, Max. Sausage is the best."
+
+Max said, "Toast is the best. Sausage is the worst."
+
+Lily and Max ate their breakfast. They did not agree on sausage, but they agreed on one thing. They were both modest. They did not take more than they needed. They shared their food with their dog, Spot, who liked both sausage and toast. Spot was a happy dog. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. Lily and Max laughed and hugged him. They loved their dog, and they loved each other.
+Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the big park near their houses. One day, they found a small door in a tree. It had a lock on it.

+
+They heard a loud roar from inside the tree. It sounded like a lion or a bear.
+
+They ran away as fast as they could. They did not want to see the secret anymore.
+
+They learned that some secrets are better left alone. And some locks are impressive for a reason.
+Lily liked to choose her own clothes. She had many colors in her closet, but her favorite was purple. She had purple shirts, purple pants, purple socks, and even a purple hat. She thought purple was pretty and fun.

+
+She asked her mom, "Who put this flower on my hat?" Her mom laughed and said, "It was your brother. He wanted to make you laugh. He likes to play jokes on you. He thinks you are funny and sweet."
+
+Lily was not mad at her brother. She thought he was funny and sweet too. She decided to keep the flower on her hat. She said, "Thank you, brother. You made my hat more pretty and fun."

+Jill and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big, shiny rock that looked like a star. They were very happy and excited.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It is so pretty and sparkly. What is it?"
+
+"I don't know," Jill said. "Maybe it is a diamond. My mom has a ring with a diamond on it. She says it is very special and expensive."
+
+"Can we keep it?" Tom asked. "We can share it and play with it."
+
+"Sure," Jill said. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to lose it or break it. And we don't want anyone to take it from us."
+
+They put the shiny rock in a small box and hid it under a tree. They agreed to only take it out when they were alone and to never tell anyone about it. They trusted each other and felt like they had a secret treasure.
+
+The next day, they went back to the park to play with their shiny rock. But when they got to the tree, they saw a weird man digging in the sand. He had a big bag and a metal stick. He was making loud noises and scaring the birds.
+

+
+The weird man looked up and saw them. He smiled and said, "Hello, kids. I'm sorry, but I'm not going away. I'm looking for something very important. Something very rare and valuable. Something like this." He held up their shiny rock and winked.
+
+Jill and Tom gasped. They felt angry and scared. How did he find their shiny rock? How did he know it was a diamond? How did he take it from their box?
+
+"Give it back!" Jill cried. "That is ours. We found it first. You are a bad man. You are a thief!"
+
+The weird man laughed and said, "Sorry, kids. Finders keepers, losers weepers. This diamond is mine now. And I'm going to sell it for a lot of money. Too bad for you. Bye-bye!" He ran away with their shiny rock and his bag and his metal stick.
+

+Tom and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They saw many things in the water, like fish and seaweed and rocks.
+
+One day, they saw something new. It was a crab. It had a hard shell and many legs and two big claws. It was black and shiny. It was hiding under a rock.
+
+"Look, Lily, a crab!" Tom said. He wanted to touch it. He leaned over the rock and reached out his hand.
+
+"Be careful, Tom, it might pinch you!" Lily said. She was scared of the crab. She stayed back and watched.
+
+The crab saw Tom's hand and moved quickly. It snapped its claws at Tom. Tom was surprised and pulled back his hand. He felt a little pain. He cried out.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! The crab bit me!" Tom said. He ran to Mom and Dad. They hugged him and looked at his hand. It was not very bad, just a small red mark.
+
+"Tom, you should not touch the crabs. They are wild animals and they can hurt you. They are not toys," Mom said. She put some cream on his hand and gave him a band-aid.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to see the crab. It was black and shiny," Tom said. He was still curious, but also a little afraid.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. You can look at the crabs, but from a distance. They are interesting, but they need their space. They are not friendly like dogs or cats," Dad said. He smiled and kissed Tom's cheek.
+
+Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They still liked to play at the beach, but they did not touch the crabs. They watched them from far away and wondered what they were doing. They had fun and stayed safe.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with water. They had a big hose in the garden. They took turns to spray water at each other. It was fun and cool.
+

+
+Lily told mom about Tom and the paint. Mom was mad. She took Lily to the bathroom. She tried to wash off the paint. It was hard. She told Lily she was sorry. She said Tom was naughty. She said she would talk to Tom.
+
+Tom heard mom and Lily. He felt bad. He realized he was wrong. He put down the can of paint. He went to the kitchen. He said he was sorry to mom and Lily. He said he wanted to play with water, not paint. He said he would help to clean up.
+
+Mom and Lily looked at Tom. They saw he had paint on his face, his hair and his arm too. They smiled a little. They forgave Tom. They said they still loved him. They said they would play with water again, but not with paint. They hugged Tom. They were a family.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There is a big fan in the park. The fan makes wind and noise.
+
+Tom runs to the fan. He wants to feel the wind on his face. He laughs and says, "This is fun! Come, Mia, come!"
+
+Mia is shy. She does not like the fan. She thinks the fan is scary. She stays with her mom. She says, "No, Tom, no. I do not want to go."
+
+Tom comes back to Mia. He says, "Why are you shy, Mia? The fan is not scary. The fan is cool. It can make your hair fly."
+
+Mia shakes her head. She says, "No, Tom, no. The fan is too loud. It can hurt my ears. I do not like the fan."
+
+Tom is sad. He says, "But I like the fan. I want to play with the fan. Can we play something else?"
+
+Mia smiles. She says, "Yes, Tom, yes. We can play something else. We can play with the ball. The ball is not scary. The ball is fun."
+
+Tom and Mia play with the ball. They are happy. They are friends. They like different things, but they can still play together.

+
+"Can we call him?" Tom asks Sue.
+
+"OK, but be nice," Sue says.
+
+They walk to the fisherman and say hello.
+
+"Hello, little ones. What are you doing here?" the fisherman asks.
+
+"We are playing. We like your hat and your stick. Can we try?" Tom says.
+
+The fisherman smiles and nods. He gives Tom his hat and his stick. Tom puts on the hat and holds the stick. He feels a tug on the stick.
+
+"I got a fish! I got a fish!" Tom shouts.
+
+"Good job, Tom. Pull it in," the fisherman says.
+
+Tom pulls the stick and sees a shiny fish on the end. He is very happy. He shows the fish to Sue and the fisherman.
+
+"Wow, Tom. You are a good fisherman," Sue says.
+
+"Thank you, Sue. Do you want to try too?" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, please," Sue says.
+
+The fisherman gives Sue another stick and a worm. She throws it in the water and waits for a fish to bite.

+They have fun fishing with the fisherman. He teaches them how to be careful with the fish and how to let them go. He also tells them stories about the lake and the animals.
+
+When the sun goes down, they say goodbye to the fisherman and thank him for the fun.
+
+"You are welcome, little ones. You are very tidy and polite. Come back anytime," the fisherman says.
+
+Tom and Sue wave to the fisherman and run back to their home. They tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They are very proud of their fishing skills. They dream of the lake and the fisherman.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big barrel near the slide. They wanted to roll it and have fun.
+
+"Let's take turns to roll the barrel," Lily said. "You go first, then I go."
+
+"OK," Ben said. He pushed the barrel with his hands and rolled it down the hill. He laughed and ran after it.
+
+Then it was Lily's turn. She tried to push the barrel, but it was too heavy for her. She asked Ben for help.
+
+"Ben, can you help me push the barrel?" Lily said.
+
+But Ben was rude. He did not want to share the barrel. He said, "No, this is my barrel. I rolled it first. You can't have it."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "That's not fair. You are not a good friend. You are selfish and mean."
+
+She walked away and found another toy to play with. Ben was left alone with the barrel. He rolled it again, but he did not have fun. He felt lonely and sorry.
+
+He realized he was wrong. He ran to Lily and said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was rude. You can have the barrel. Let's play together."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. Let's be friends again."
+
+They pushed the barrel together and rolled it down the hill. They laughed and had fun.

+Tommy did not want to get up. He said, "No, mom. I want to sleep. The sun is too bright. It hurts my eyes."
+
+Mom said, "You have to get up, Tommy. You have to go to school. You have to learn new things. You have to play with your friends. The sun is good for you. It makes you happy and warm."
+
+Tommy was not happy. He was grumpy. He said, "I don't want to go to school. I don't want to learn new things. I don't want to play with my friends. I want to stay in bed. The sun is bad for me. It makes me hot and sweaty."
+
+Mom was not happy either. She was frustrated. She said, "Tommy, you are being silly. You have to go to school. You have to learn new things. You have to play with your friends. You will have fun. The sun is not bad for you. It makes you healthy and strong."
+
+Tommy and mom were both angry. They yelled at each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not understand each other.
+
+Then, dad came to the room. He saw Tommy and mom fighting. He said, "Stop, stop, stop. What is going on here? Why are you yelling at each other?"
+
+Tommy and mom stopped yelling. They looked at dad. They told him what they wanted and what they did not want.
+
+Dad listened to them. He said, "I see. You both have different feelings and needs. You both have good reasons. But you also have to respect each other. You have to compromise. You have to find a solution that works for both of you."
+
+Tommy and mom thought about what dad said. They felt sorry for being mean to each other. They said, "Sorry, dad. Sorry, mom. Sorry, Tommy."
+
+Dad said, "It's okay. I love you both. Now, let's see. How can we make this morning better for both of you?"
+
+Tommy said, "Maybe I can get up, but I can wear my sunglasses. They make the sun less bright. They make me look cool."
+
+Mom said, "Maybe I can let you sleep a little longer, but I can make you a yummy breakfast. It will give you energy. It will make you happy."
+
+Dad said, "That sounds good. How about we try that? Are you ready to get up, Tommy?"
+
+Tommy said, "Yes, dad. I am ready. Thank you, mom. Thank you, dad."
+
+Mom said, "You're welcome, Tommy. I love you. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."
+
+Dad said, "I love you too, Tommy. Come on, let's go to the car."

+
+The sun was rising. The sun was good. Tommy was not tired anymore. Tommy was happy.
+Tom had a big ball of thick wool. He liked to work with it and make things. He could make hats and scarves and mittens. He used a long stick with a hook to make stitches. He learned how to do it from his grandma.
+
+One day, he wanted to make a blanket for his teddy bear. He worked very hard and made many stitches. He used all the colors of the wool. He was very proud of his blanket. He wrapped it around his teddy bear and gave him a hug.
+
+But then, he saw a hole in the blanket. He had missed a stitch. He was very sad. He did not want his teddy bear to be cold. He ran to his grandma and asked for help.
+
+His grandma smiled and took the blanket. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. I can fix it. It is easy to fix a missed stitch. You just have to go back and hook it with the stick. Like this." She showed him how to do it. She said, "See? Now the hole is gone. The blanket is good as new."
+
+Tom was very happy. He thanked his grandma and hugged her. He took the blanket and ran back to his teddy bear. He said, "Look, teddy. Your blanket is fixed. Now you are warm and cozy. I love you." He snuggled with his teddy bear and his blanket. He was very glad he learned how to work with wool.
+Sara liked to fold paper. She made hats, boats, and animals with paper. She liked to show her paper things to her friends at school. But one day, a boy named Tom took her paper hat and tore it. Sara was very sad and angry.
+
+"Why did you do that?" Sara asked Tom.
+
+"Because I don't like your hat. It is silly and ugly," Tom said. He laughed and ran away.
+
+Sara cried and ran to the teacher. The teacher was holding a staff. It was a long stick with a star on top. The teacher used the staff to point at things on the board. The teacher saw Sara and asked her what was wrong.
+
+"Tom tore my paper hat. He was mean to me," Sara said.
+
+The teacher frowned and called Tom. She told him to say sorry to Sara and to make her a new paper hat. She also told him to be quiet and not to bother Sara again.

+
+Sara smiled and thanked the teacher. She put on her new paper hat and felt happy. She liked her paper hat and her teacher. She hoped Tom would be nice to her next time.

+
+"Yes, Ben, it is!" Lily agrees. "Can we go inside and see?"
+
+"OK, let's go!" Ben says. They open the door and walk inside the church. They see more blocks inside. They see brown blocks for the seats, purple blocks for the flowers, and orange blocks for the candles.
+
+"Wow, this is nice!" Lily says. "Can we sit and pray?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, we can!" Ben says. They sit on the seats and close their eyes. They pretend to pray and thank God for their blocks and their play.

+
+"Sam, no!" Ben and Lily shout. "You ruined our church!"
+
+They get up and run to stop Sam. But they are too late. Sam has reached the church and pushed it over. All the blocks crash and scatter on the floor. Ben and Lily feel dizzy and sad. They look at their broken church and cry.

+
+Sam does not understand. He thinks they are playing. He smiles and hugs them. He says, "Church, fun!"

+
+"Can I ride in the wagon, please?" Sara asks Tom.
+

+Tom does not like the noise. He thinks it is annoying. He wants Sara to be quiet. He stops pulling and says, "Sara, you have to be quiet. The wagon is too noisy. The other people in the park are looking at us."
+
+Sara looks around and sees the other people. Some of them are smiling. Some of them are frowning. She feels sorry. She says, "Sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to be noisy. I was just having fun."
+
+Tom smiles and says, "It's OK, Sara. I know you were having fun. But we have to be quiet in the park. Maybe we can make noise at home."
+
+Sara nods and says, "OK, Tom. Let's be quiet in the park. But can we still ride the wagon?"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, Sara. We can still ride the wagon. But we have to be quiet."
+
+Sara and Tom start to ride the wagon again. They are quiet. They only whisper to each other. They go shh, shh, shh and mm, mm, mm. They have fun in the park.
+Sara and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun, but they were also very tired. They had been playing for a long time and it was almost bedtime.
+
+"Tom, can I see your car?" Sara asked. She liked the car. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you have to give it back," Tom said. He liked his car. It was his favorite toy. He gave the car to Sara and took the doll.
+
+Sara smiled and made the car go vroom-vroom on the floor. She pretended the car was going to a party. Tom stared at the doll. He did not like the doll. It was pink and soft and had a dress. He wanted his car back.
+
+"Tom, can I have my doll back?" Sara asked. She saw Tom's face. He looked bored and sad.
+
+"No, I want my car back. Give it to me!" Tom said. He grabbed the car from Sara and pulled it away.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair! You said I could see it!" Sara said. She grabbed the doll from Tom and pulled it back.
+
+They both pulled and pulled. The car and the doll made a loud snap. They broke in half. Sara and Tom gasped. They looked at the broken toys. They felt bad.
+
+They heard their mom's voice. She was coming to the living room. She was going to see the mess. They were in trouble.
+
+They quickly hid the broken toys under the couch. They sat on the floor and pretended to be asleep. They hoped their mom would not notice. They were very tired. They closed their eyes and waited.
+Tom and Anna like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also find some sticks and stones to make his eyes, nose and mouth. They want to make him happy, so they look for something to attach to his chest. They see a red heart made of paper on the ground. It is from a card that someone threw away.
+
+They run to the heart and pick it up. They think it is perfect for their snowman. They run back to him and attach the heart to his chest with some snow. They hope he will like it. They think he will feel some life in him now.
+
+But the heart is very icy. It is frozen from the cold. It does not beat or warm up. It does not make the snowman happy. It makes him sad. He feels lonely and cold. He wishes he had a real heart that could love and be loved. He looks at Tom and Anna and wants to be their friend. But he cannot move or talk. He can only stand there with his icy heart. He feels no life in him. He feels only snow.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big pile of leaves and ran to jump in it. They had fun throwing leaves at each other and making crunching sounds.
+
+But then, Ben saw something in the leaves. It was white and hard and had many parts. It looked like a skeleton. Ben was scared and screamed.
+
+"Mia, look! A skeleton! It will get us!"
+
+Mia came closer and looked at the skeleton. She was not scared. She laughed.
+
+"Ben, that is not a skeleton. That is a toy. See, it has a hat and a scarf and a smile. It is a silly skeleton. Someone put it here for fun."
+
+Ben looked again and saw that Mia was right. The skeleton was a toy. It had a red hat and a blue scarf and a big smile. It was a silly skeleton. Ben felt silly too.
+
+He laughed with Mia and said, "Sorry, Mia. I was scared for nothing. Can we play with the silly skeleton?"
+
+Mia nodded and said, "Yes, Ben. We can play with the silly skeleton. But please be careful. Don't break it. It is someone else's toy."

+Ben and Mia played with the silly skeleton. They made it dance and sing and tell jokes. They had more fun in the park. They were happy.
+Lily wanted to wear her new dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. She liked it very much. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt pretty and happy.
+
+She went to the kitchen to find her mom. She wanted to show her mom her new dress. She saw her mom making toast and butter for breakfast. She said, "Mom, look at me! I have a new dress!"
+
+Her mom turned around and smiled. She said, "You look lovely, Lily. Your new dress is very pretty. Where did you get it?"
+
+Lily said, "Dad bought it for me. He said it was a gift for being a good girl. He said I can wear it to the park today."
+
+Her mom said, "That's very nice of him. He loves you very much. You are a good girl, Lily. But be careful not to get your new dress dirty at the park. Toast and butter can make stains."
+
+Lily nodded. She took a piece of toast and butter from her mom. She bit it and said, "Yummy. I like toast and butter. Thank you, mom."
+
+She was about to take another bite when she saw her brother Tom coming into the kitchen. He was wearing his pajamas and had a grumpy face. He said, "What are you doing, Lily? You look stupid in that dress. It's too pink and too flowery. You look like a baby."
+
+Lily felt angry and sad. She said, "No, I don't. I look pretty and happy. You are stupid, Tom. You are mean and rude. You look like a lazy and dirty boy."
+
+She threw her toast and butter at him. It hit him on the face and made a mess. He screamed and cried. He said, "Mom, Lily threw toast and butter at me. She is bad and naughty. She ruined my pajamas."
+
+Their mom came back and saw what happened. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, Tom, stop it. You are both wrong. You should not say mean things to each other. You should not throw food at each other. You should be nice and kind to each other. You are brother and sister. You should love each other."
+
+She made them apologize and hug. She made them clean up the mess. She made them change their clothes. She said, "Now, let's have a good day. We can go to the park later. But first, we have to eat breakfast. And no more toast and butter."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to know what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go and discover!" Tom said.
+
+"No, we can't. Mommy said we have to stay in the garden. We have to be obedient," Lily said.
+
+"But it's just a little hole. Maybe there are flowers or animals or toys on the other side. Please, Lily, come with me," Tom said.
+
+Lily was scared, but she also was curious. She followed Tom to the hole and peeked through. She saw a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth. The dog saw them too and barked loudly.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted.
+
+They ran back to the garden as fast as they could. The dog chased them, but could not fit through the hole. Tom and Lily were safe, but they were also sorry.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, we're sorry. We went to the other side and saw a big dog. It was scary and angry. We won't do it again," they said.
+
+Mommy hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're okay, but you have to listen to me. The other side is not safe for you. There are dangers and strangers. You have to stay in the garden where I can see you. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, mommy, we understand. We love you and we want to be obedient," they said.
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "I love you too. Now, let's go and play with your toys. Maybe we can discover something fun in the garden."
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big ship in the park. It is red and blue and has a flag.
+
+"Wow, look at this ship!" Tim says. "It is so powerful. It can go fast on the water."
+
+"Can we play with it?" Mia asks. "It looks fun."
+
+"Yes, we can. But we have to be careful. It is not ours. Maybe someone will come back for it." Tim says.
+
+They climb on the ship and pretend to be pirates. They make noises and wave their arms. They have a lot of fun.
+
+Then, they see a man coming. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He looks angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Get off my ship!" he shouts. "This is not a toy. This is my work. I fix ships for people."
+
+Tim and Mia are scared. They jump off the ship and run away. They hide behind a tree.
+
+"Sorry, mister. We did not know." Tim says.
+
+"We just wanted to play." Mia says.
+
+The man comes closer. He sees their faces. He smiles.
+
+"Oh, I see. You are just curious. You like ships, huh?" he says. "Well, I guess it is okay. But you have to ask before you touch something that is not yours. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Mia nod. They say sorry again.
+
+The man laughs. He says he is not mad. He says he likes ships too. He says he can show them his ship and tell them stories. He says he is a sailor. He says he has been to many places.
+
+Tim and Mia are happy. They like stories. They follow the man to his ship. He is nice. He gives them cookies and juice. He tells them about the sea and the stars and the fish.
+
+They listen and ask questions. They learn a lot. They have more fun.
+
+Then, it is time to go. The sun is setting. Tim and Mia have to go home.
+
+They thank the man for his kindness. They hug him. They kiss him on the cheek.
+
+"Bye, sailor. You are a good friend." Tim says.
+
+"Bye, sailor. You have a beautiful ship." Mia says.
+
+The man waves. He says bye too. He says he hopes to see them again.
+
+Tim and Mia run back to their parents. They tell them about their adventure. They are proud and happy.
+
+They have a new friend. They have a new love. They love ships.
+Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big oak tree that they called their fort. They would climb on the branches and pretend to be pirates or knights.
+
+One day, they saw a man with a big saw near their oak tree. He was cutting the tree down. Sam and Ben ran to him and shouted, "Stop! Stop! That is our fort! Please don't cut it down!"
+
+The man looked at them and said, "Sorry, kids, but this tree is dead. It has bugs and rot. It is not safe. I have to cut it down or it might fall and hurt someone."
+
+Sam and Ben felt sad and angry. They loved their oak tree. They hoped the man was wrong. They hoped the tree was not dead. They hoped the tree could stay.
+
+But the man was not wrong. The tree was dead. He cut it down with his saw. He made a loud noise and a big mess. He took the tree away in his truck.
+
+Sam and Ben cried. They had no fort anymore. They had no oak tree anymore. They had no fun anymore. They hoped the man would bring the tree back. But he never did. The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was a ship. They wore hats and scarves and said "Ahoy, matey!" to each other.
+
+"Let's go to the island and find treasure!" said Lily. She was the captain and liked to be bossy.
+
+"Okay, captain!" said Ben. He was the first mate and liked to follow Lily.
+
+They sailed the box-ship across the grass and the flowers. They made noises like waves and wind. They saw a big tree that looked like an island.
+
+"Land ho!" shouted Lily. "We have arrived!"
+
+They jumped out of the box-ship and ran to the tree. They looked for a spot to dig for treasure. They found a big rock that had a mark on it.
+
+"X marks the spot!" said Ben. He picked up a stick and started to dig.
+
+But then they heard a loud voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, you scurvy dogs! What are you doing on my island?"
+
+They turned around and saw a man with a patch over one eye, a hook for a hand, and a parrot on his shoulder. He was a pirate!
+
+"Uh-oh!" said Lily and Ben. They were scared.
+
+"Who are you?" asked the pirate.
+
+"We are... we are... explorers!" said Lily.
+
+"Explorers, eh? Well, this is my island and my treasure. You have to pay me a toll or walk the plank!" said the pirate.
+
+He pointed to the box-ship with his hook.
+
+"What toll?" asked Ben.
+
+"Your hats and scarves. And your box-ship. And your stick. And your parrot!" said the pirate.
+
+He pointed to a toy parrot that Lily had brought.
+
+"But that's our stuff!" said Lily.
+
+"Too bad! Hand it over or I'll make you shark food!" said the pirate.
+
+He moved closer to them.
+
+Lily and Ben didn't know what to do. They didn't want to give up their stuff. But they didn't want to be shark food either.
+
+They looked at each other and whispered.
+
+"Let's run!" said Lily.
+
+"Okay!" said Ben.
+
+They grabbed their hats and scarves and ran to the box-ship. They threw the toy parrot at the pirate and jumped inside.
+
+"Quick, let's sail away!" said Ben.
+
+They pushed the box-ship away from the tree and across the grass. They made noises like waves and wind again.
+
+"Bye-bye, pirate!" they shouted.
+
+The pirate was angry. He chased them with his hook and his parrot.
+
+"Come back here, you little rats! You can't escape me!" he yelled.
+
+But he was too slow. Lily and Ben sailed away to safety.
+
+They reached the other side of the garden and got out of the box-ship. They hugged each other and laughed.
+
+"That was fun!" said Lily.
+
+"Yeah, but scary too!" said Ben.
+
+"Let's play something else now. How about... princess and dragon?" said Lily.
+
+"Okay, but I get to be the dragon this time!" said Ben.
+
+"Fine, but I'm still the bossy princess!" said Lily.
+
+They put on their hats and scarves again and ran to the playhouse. They forgot about the pirate and the treasure. They had more adventures to make.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could make a stack of blocks as high as they wanted.
+
+One day, they decided to have a contest. Who could make the highest stack of blocks? They each picked a spot on the floor and started to build. They used big blocks and small blocks, round blocks and square blocks. They tried to balance their stacks carefully.
+
+"Look at my stack!" Lily said. "It is very high and pretty. I have red blocks and blue blocks and yellow blocks."
+
+"Mine is higher and prettier!" Ben said. "I have green blocks and purple blocks and orange blocks."
+
+They kept building and building, until their stacks were taller than them. They were very proud of their stacks. They looked at each other and smiled.
+
+But then, a playful cat came into the room. The cat saw the stacks of blocks and thought they were toys. The cat jumped on one of the stacks and knocked it over. The blocks fell to the floor with a loud noise.
+
+"Hey, that's my stack!" Lily cried. "Bad cat! Go away!"
+
+The cat did not listen. The cat ran to the other stack and pushed it with its paw. The blocks fell to the floor with another loud noise.
+
+"Hey, that's my stack!" Ben cried. "Bad cat! Go away!"
+
+The cat did not listen. The cat was having fun. The cat played with the blocks on the floor, rolling them and chasing them.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad. They had worked hard to make their stacks. They had lost their contest. They looked at the cat and frowned.
+
+Then, they looked at each other and shrugged. They realized that the stacks were not that important. They were just blocks. They could make new stacks anytime. What was more important was that they were friends. They decided to forgive the cat and join the fun.
+
+They picked up some blocks and threw them gently at the cat. The cat caught them and threw them back. They laughed and played with the cat and the blocks. They had a good time.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be too attached to your things. They can be lost or broken. Be more attached to your friends. They can make you happy and help you. And sometimes, you can have fun with a playful cat.

+
+Lily did not like weddings. They were long and boring. She had to watch her aunt and a man say words and kiss. She had to smile and clap and say nice things. She could not play or talk or have fun.

+
+"Lily, are you happy for your aunt?" her mom asked. She held Lily's hand and squeezed it.

+
+But her mom did not laugh. She gasped and pulled the veil back. She looked angry and scared.

+
+Lily felt bad. She did not mean to be rude. She just wanted to have fun. She nodded and said sorry. She put the veil back on her head and tried to be still and quiet. But she still sighed and wished she could play.

+Lily loved to polish her waffle. She would take a soft cloth and rub it on the waffle until it was shiny and smooth. She liked how the waffle looked and smelled. She felt proud of her waffle.
+
+One day, she brought her waffle to school. She wanted to show it to her friends. She hoped they would like her waffle too. She put it on her desk and waited for the teacher to start the class.
+
+But then, Ben came over. Ben was a mean boy. He liked to tease and take things from other kids. He saw Lily's waffle and laughed. He said, "What is that? A waffle? That's silly. Waffles are for eating, not for polishing. You are so weird, Lily. Give me that waffle. I'm hungry."
+
+He reached out his hand and grabbed Lily's waffle. He tried to bite it, but it was hard and cold. He spat it out and threw it on the floor. He said, "Yuck! This waffle is bad. It tastes like dirt. You are a bad waffle maker, Lily. You should throw it away."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She loved her waffle. She worked hard to polish it. She did not want Ben to take it or break it. She wanted her waffle back. She said, "No, Ben. You are bad. You are mean. You are rude. My waffle is not for eating. It is for polishing. It is my waffle. Give it back to me. Now."
+
+She got up from her seat and ran to the floor. She picked up her waffle and hugged it. She checked if it was still shiny and smooth. She was glad it was not broken. She said, "Sorry, waffle. I will not let Ben hurt you again. You are my waffle. You are my friend. You are the best waffle in the world."
+
+The teacher heard the noise and came over. She saw Lily and Ben and the waffle. She asked, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a waffle?"
+
+Lily and Ben told her what happened. The teacher listened and nodded. She said, "Ben, you were wrong to take Lily's waffle and to be mean to her. You should apologize to Lily and to the waffle. Lily, you were right to stand up for yourself and your waffle. You should be proud of your waffle. It is very special and unique. You have a lot of creativity and imagination. You can make anything you want with your waffle. Maybe you can share it with your friends and teach them how to polish it too."
+
+Ben said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, waffle. I was mean and rude. I will not do it again. Can I see your waffle? Can I touch it?"
+
+Lily said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You can see my waffle. You can touch it. But be gentle. It is my waffle. It is my friend."
+
+She showed Ben her waffle. She let him touch it. She told him how she polished it. She said, "Do you want to polish it with me? It is fun. It makes the waffle shiny and smooth. It makes me happy."
+
+Ben said, "Yes, I want to polish it with you. It sounds fun. It looks cool. It makes me curious."
+
+They polished the waffle together. They used the soft cloth and rubbed it on the waffle. They smiled and laughed. They became friends.
+
+The other kids saw them and came over. They asked, "What are you doing? What is that? A waffle?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, it is a waffle. It is our waffle. It is not for eating. It is for polishing. It is fun. It is cool. It is special. Do you want to try it?"
+
+The other kids said, "Yes, we want to try it. It looks fun. It looks cool. It looks special."

+
+Her mom took her to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He looked at Lily's throat and ears. He gave her some medicine and a sticker. He said she would feel better soon.
+
+But Lily had to stay at the hospital for one night. She did not like that. She wanted to go home with her mom and teddy bear. She cried and said no.
+
+A nurse came to her bed. She was bossy. She said Lily had to accept the hospital. She said Lily had to wear a gown and a bracelet. She said Lily had to eat some soup and drink some juice. She said Lily had to be brave and quiet.
+
+Lily did not like the nurse. She did not want to do what she said. She said no again. She threw her soup and juice on the floor. She hid under the blanket.
+
+The nurse was angry. She said Lily was naughty and rude. She said Lily had to say sorry and clean up the mess. She said Lily had to listen to her or she would call the doctor.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want the doctor to come. She did not want to make the nurse more angry. She peeked out from the blanket. She saw the nurse's face. It was not happy.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She said sorry to the nurse. She said she would accept the hospital. She said she would wear the gown and the bracelet. She said she would eat some soup and drink some juice. She said she would be brave and quiet.

+Sara loves animals. She likes to watch them on TV and read books about them. She wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. A veterinarian is a person who helps animals when they are sick or hurt.
+
+One day, Sara goes to the park with her mom and dad. She sees a big cage with a sign that says "Wild Bird Rescue". She runs to the cage and looks inside. She sees a beautiful owl with big yellow eyes and brown feathers. The owl looks sad and scared.
+
+"Mom, dad, look at the owl!" Sara says. "Why is it in a cage?"
+
+Her mom and dad read the sign and explain to Sara. "The owl was injured by a car. The people who work here are veterinarians. They are taking care of the owl until it is better. Then they will release it back to the wild. Release means to let go."
+
+"Can we see them release the owl?" Sara asks.
+
+"Maybe. Let's ask the veterinarians," her dad says.
+
+They find a woman in a white coat who is holding a clipboard. She smiles at Sara and her parents.
+
+"Hello, I'm Dr. Lee. I'm a veterinarian. Do you have any questions about the owl?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, we do," Sara's mom says. "Sara loves animals and she wants to know when you will release the owl."
+
+Dr. Lee looks at her clipboard and says, "We are planning to release the owl tomorrow morning. We have checked its wings and they are healed. It is ready to fly again."
+
+"Can we come and watch?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, you can. We will release the owl at the edge of the park, near the trees. You can meet us there at 9 o'clock," Dr. Lee says.
+
+"Thank you, Dr. Lee. We will be there," Sara's dad says.
+
+Sara is very happy. She can't wait to see the owl fly free. She hugs Dr. Lee and says, "Thank you for helping the owl. You are a good veterinarian."

+Dr. Lee hugs her back and says, "You're welcome, Sara. You are a kind girl. Maybe you will be a veterinarian too someday."
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their dog, Rex. Rex was a big, brown dog who liked to run and jump and catch balls. Tim and Lily loved Rex very much and gave him hugs and treats.
+
+One day, they saw a sign on a tree. The sign had a picture of a cat and some words. Tim and Lily could not read the words, but they knew the cat was lost. The sign also had a phone number and a word they knew: reward. Tim and Lily wanted to help find the cat and get the reward.
+
+They asked their mom if they could look for the cat. Their mom said yes, but they had to stay close and be careful. She also said they had to take Rex with them. Rex was good at finding things with his nose.
+
+Tim and Lily walked around the park with Rex, calling the cat's name. They did not know the cat's name, so they just said "kitty, kitty, kitty". Rex sniffed the ground and the bushes, wagging his tail.
+
+Suddenly, Rex barked and ran to a big rock. Behind the rock, there was a small, black cat. The cat was scared and hissed at Rex. Rex was not scared and barked louder. The cat looked fierce and had sharp claws.
+
+Tim and Lily ran after Rex and tried to stop him. They did not want Rex to hurt the cat or the cat to hurt Rex. They shouted "Rex, no! Rex, sit! Rex, be nice!" But Rex did not listen. He wanted to catch the cat.
+
+Tim had an idea. He took out a ball from his pocket and threw it in the air. He said "Rex, look! Ball!" Rex looked up and saw the ball. He loved balls. He forgot about the cat and ran to catch the ball.
+
+Lily took the chance and grabbed the cat. She held the cat gently and said "Don't worry, kitty. We are your friends. We will take you home." The cat stopped hissing and purred. Lily smiled and said "We found you! We get the reward!"

+
+"Hey, dog, give us our ball!" Tom shouted.
+
+But the dog did not listen. He ran to a muddy puddle and dropped the ball in it. Then he licked the ball and made a funny face. He did not like the taste of the mud. He spat the ball out and ran away.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the puddle and saw their ball. It was not red and shiny anymore. It was brown and dirty and wet. It looked very bad. They did not want to touch it.
+
+"Yuck, our ball is ruined!" Lily cried.

+
+Her dad came home from work and saw her sleeping. He smiled and kissed her forehead. He noticed the tie around her neck. He recognized it as his special tie. He had worn it on his wedding day, when he married Lily's mom. He loved that tie very much. He was happy that Lily liked it too.
+
+He gently took off the tie from her neck and tucked her in. He whispered, "Sweet dreams, my beautiful princess. I love you and your mom more than anything."

+
+"Sure, Anna. Here, take some bread and throw it gently. Don't throw it too hard or too far, or the ducks won't get it," uncle Tom says.
+
+Anna takes some bread and throws it into the pond. She is happy to see the ducks come closer and nibble the bread. She throws some more bread and laughs.

+
+Lily spun around and around in the water, following the ball. She laughed and giggled. But then she felt dizzy. She stopped spinning and held her head. She felt sick and tired. She wanted to get out of the bathtub.
+
+Mommy heard Lily cry and came to the bathroom. She saw Lily sitting in the water, looking pale and sad. She took her out of the bathtub and wrapped her in a towel. She hugged her and kissed her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. You just spun too much. You need to rest and drink some water. Next time, don't spin so much in the bathtub, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and snuggled with Mommy. She felt better and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I like the ball, but it made me dizzy. Can I play with it again, but not spin so much?"
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, you can play with it again, but not spin so much. And only when I'm with you, okay?"

+
+"Yay, I did it!" Tom says. He is happy.
+
+But then they see a problem. The ball is not on the grass. It is on the road. The road is brown and dirty. There are cars on the road. The cars are fast and loud.
+
+"Oh no, how can we get the ball back?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. He is sad.
+
+They look at the road. They look at the ball. They look at each other. They do not know what to do.
+Lily and Tom were playing by the sea. They liked to look for shells and rocks and make sand castles. They saw a big boat with a big anchor. The anchor was metal and shiny and had a rope.
+
+"Wow, look at that anchor!" Lily said. "It is so big and strong. I want to touch it."
+
+"Me too," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. The boat might go away and take the anchor with it."
+
+They ran to the anchor and felt it with their hands. It was cold and hard and rough. They saw some letters on it. They did not know what they meant.
+
+"Maybe this is the boat's name," Lily said. "Or maybe it is a secret code."
+
+"Maybe it is how much the anchor is worth," Tom said. "Maybe it is very valuable."
+
+They heard a loud horn from the boat. It was a signal that the boat was leaving. They saw some people on the boat waving at them.
+
+"Hello, kids!" one of them shouted. "Do you like our anchor? It is very old and special. It is a gift from our grandfather. He was a sailor and he loved the sea. He taught us to value the anchor and the sea."
+
+Lily and Tom waved back. They felt happy and curious. They wanted to know more about the anchor and the grandfather and the sea.
+
+"Thank you for sharing your anchor with us," Lily shouted. "It is very beautiful and interesting. We value it too."
+
+The boat started to move. The rope pulled the anchor out of the sand. Lily and Tom watched as the anchor disappeared into the water.
+
+"Bye, bye, anchor!" Tom shouted. "Have a good trip!"
+
+They smiled at each other and went back to their sand castle. They decided to make a small anchor out of shells and rocks. They wanted to remember the big anchor and the lively people on the boat. They felt like they had made new friends.
+Tom and Anna like to race each other in the park. They run as fast as they can and laugh a lot. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. It barks very loud and runs towards them.
+
+"Run, Anna, run!" Tom shouts. He is frightened of the dog. He thinks the dog wants to bite them.
+
+Anna is frightened too. She runs after Tom, but the dog is faster. The dog catches up with them and jumps on Anna. Anna falls to the ground and cries. The dog licks her face and wags its tail.
+
+"Anna, are you okay?" Tom asks. He stops running and goes back to Anna. He is still scared, but he wants to help his friend.
+
+"I'm okay, Tom," Anna says. She stops crying and looks at the dog. The dog is not angry. It is friendly. It wants to play with them. "The dog is not bad, Tom. It is just cold and lonely. It needs a hug."
+
+Tom and Anna hug the dog. The dog is happy. It stops barking and snuggles with them. Tom and Anna are not frightened anymore. They are warm and cozy. They make a new friend in the park.
+Ben and Sue are husband and wife. They like to go to the park and play with their dog, Max. Max is a big, brown dog who likes to run and bark. He is very noisy, but Ben and Sue love him.
+
+One day, they go to the park and see a new sign. The sign says: "No dogs allowed". Ben and Sue are sad and angry. They do not want to leave Max behind. They think the sign is not fair.
+
+"Who made this sign?" Ben asks. "Why can't we bring Max? He is our friend."
+
+"I don't know," Sue says. "Maybe someone does not like dogs. Maybe they are afraid of Max. He is very loud."
+
+Ben and Sue look at Max. He is wagging his tail and sniffing the grass. He does not know about the sign. He is happy.
+
+Ben and Sue have an idea. They take off Max's leash and hold it in their hands. They pretend that Max is not their dog. They walk past the sign and into the park.
+
+"Hello," they say to the people they meet. "We are just holding this leash. We don't have a dog. Do you see a dog?"
+
+The people look at them and shake their heads. They do not see a dog. They only see a leash. They think Ben and Sue are funny.
+
+Ben and Sue smile and wink at each other. They are happy. They have tricked the sign. They can play with Max in the park. They hold each other's hands and hold Max's leash. They are a family.
+Anna and Ben love to play hockey with their friends. They have a big hockey stick and a small ball. They run and hit the ball on the grass. Sometimes they score a goal and cheer. Sometimes they miss and laugh.
+
+One day, they find a pretty hockey stick in the garage. It is shiny and has a star on it. Anna and Ben want to try it. They ask their mom if they can use it. Mom says yes, but be careful. It is very old and belongs to grandpa.
+
+Anna and Ben take the pretty hockey stick and go to the grass. They hit the ball with it. It makes a loud sound. They like it. They take turns and have fun. But then, something bad happens. The pretty hockey stick breaks in half. Anna and Ben are sad and scared. They broke grandpa's hockey stick. What will they do?
+
+They run to mom and show her the broken hockey stick. They say they are sorry and cry. Mom hugs them and says it is okay. She says she can fix it. She says she can restore it. She says she knows how to glue it and tape it. She says grandpa will not be mad. He will be happy that they like hockey.
+
+Mom takes the broken hockey stick and goes to the workshop. She glues it and tapes it. She makes it look like new. She gives it back to Anna and Ben. They are happy and thank her. They say they will be more careful next time. They hug mom and grandpa. They go back to the grass and play hockey with their friends. They have fun with the pretty hockey stick.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They like to make noises with their cars and dolls. Sara has a pink car and Ben has a blue car. They pretend to drive them on the carpet.
+
+"Beep beep, move your car, Sara!" Ben says.
+
+"No, you move your car, Ben!" Sara says.
+
+They are having fun, but they are also very loud. Mom is in the kitchen, making lunch. She hears their noises and feels a headache. She wants them to be quiet.
+
+"Children, please play quietly. Mom needs some peace," she says.
+
+But Sara and Ben do not hear her. They keep making noises with their toys. They do not listen to Mom.
+
+Mom gets angry. She walks to the living room and sees their mess. She sees their toys all over the carpet. She sees their cars and dolls. She sees Sara and Ben.
+
+"Children, stop!" she screams.
+
+Sara and Ben are scared. They hear Mom's scream and they see her face. They see that she is angry and unhappy. They feel sorry and ashamed.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they say.
+
+They stop playing with their toys. They pick them up and put them in the toy box. They hug Mom and say sorry again.
+
+Mom feels better. She hugs them back and says it is okay. She tells them to play quietly and nicely. She goes back to the kitchen and finishes making lunch.
+
+Sara and Ben are quiet. They play with their toys in the living room. They do not make noises with their cars and dolls. They listen to Mom. They are good children.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a white envelope under their dad's bed. They open it and see a lot of money inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. "We can buy so many toys with this money!"
+
+"Shh, don't be loud!" Lily says. "Dad will hear us. He will be angry. This is his money, not ours."
+
+Lily whispers to Ben. She has an idea. "Let's hide the money in our room. We can use it later, when dad is not home. He will not know."
+
+Ben thinks this is a good idea. He whispers back to Lily. "OK, let's do it. But we have to be careful. No one can see us."
+
+They take the money and run to their room. They put the money under their pillow. They are happy. They think they are very smart.
+
+But they are not. Dad comes home early. He goes to his room. He sees the envelope is gone. He is very worried. He looks everywhere. He can't find the money.
+
+He goes to Lily and Ben's room. He sees them playing with their toys. He asks them, "Did you see my money? I left it under my bed. It is very important. I need it to pay the bills."
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They are scared. They don't know what to say. They are sorry. They wish they did not take the money.
+
+They tell dad the truth. They say they are sorry. They give him the money back.
+
+Dad is not happy. He is very angry. He tells them, "You should never take money that is not yours. That is wrong. That is stealing. You could get in big trouble. You have to respect other people's things."
+
+Lily and Ben feel bad. They cry. They say they are sorry again. They promise they will never do it again.
+
+Dad hugs them. He says, "I love you, but you have to learn. Money is not for playing. Money is for working. Money is for buying things you need, not things you want. Money is hard to get and easy to lose. You have to be careful with money."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They say they love dad too. They say they will be good. They say they will be careful with money.
+Lily liked to spring on her bed. She felt happy when she jumped up and down. She liked to see her toys bounce with her. She had a big bear, a small cat, and a yellow duck.
+
+One day, she invited her friend Sam to play with her. Sam was popular at school. He knew many games and songs. Lily wanted to show him her bed and her toys.
+
+"Look, Sam, this is my bed. It is very soft and fun. Do you want to spring with me?" Lily asked.
+
+Sam nodded and climbed on the bed. He started to spring with Lily. They laughed and shouted. They threw the toys in the air and caught them.
+
+But then, Sam landed on Lily's knee. Lily felt a sharp pain. She cried out loud. She dropped her yellow duck. Sam stopped springing. He looked at Lily's knee. It was red and swollen.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" Sam said.
+
+Lily sniffed and rubbed her knee. She felt sad and angry. She didn't want to play with Sam anymore. She wanted her mommy.
+
+"Go away, Sam. You are not my friend. You are mean. You broke my knee and my duck. I don't like you," Lily said.
+
+Sam felt sorry and scared. He didn't want to lose Lily's friendship. He picked up the yellow duck and gave it to Lily.
+
+"Please, Lily, don't be mad at me. I am your friend. I like you. Your knee will be better soon. And your duck is not broken. See, it still quacks," Sam said.
+
+He squeezed the duck and made it quack. Lily looked at the duck and heard the quack. She felt a little better. She liked the duck. She liked the quack. She looked at Sam and saw his sad face. She felt a little sorry. She knew Sam didn't mean to hurt her. She knew he was her friend. She liked him.
+
+"Okay, Sam. I'm not mad at you. You are my friend. I like you. But be careful next time. Don't spring on my knee. And don't throw my duck. It is my favorite toy," Lily said.
+
+Sam smiled and hugged Lily. He was happy that she forgave him. He was happy that they were still friends. He was happy that they could play together.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are my friend. I like you. I will be careful next time. And I won't throw your duck. It is a nice toy. Can we share it?" Sam said.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She was happy that Sam was nice to her. She was happy that they were still friends. She was happy that they could share her duck.
+
+"Yes, Sam. We can share it. We can spring and quack together. We can have fun," Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and the duck. They climbed on the bed and started to spring again. They laughed and shouted. They quacked and bounced. They had fun.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom. She helped her mom put the dishes in the sink, the toys in the box, and the clothes in the hamper. But there was one thing that Lily did not like to do. She did not like to take out the trash.
+
+Every time her mom asked her to take out the trash, Lily would say, "No, no, no!" She did not like the smell of the trash. She did not like the weight of the trash. She did not like the bin outside. The bin was big and scary and had a loud lid.
+
+One day, her mom was very busy and needed Lily to take out the trash. Lily said, "No, no, no!" again. Her mom was frustrated. She said, "Lily, you have to take out the trash. It is your job. If you don't take out the trash, we will have flies and bugs in the house. Do you want that?"
+
+Lily did not want flies and bugs in the house. She did not want to make her mom frustrated. She decided to be brave and take out the trash. She held her nose and lifted the trash bag. She walked to the door and opened it. She saw the bin outside. It was big and scary and had a loud lid.
+
+But then, she saw something else. She saw a little cat sitting on the bin. The cat was black and white and had green eyes. The cat looked at Lily and meowed. Lily smiled. She liked cats. She walked to the bin and put the trash bag inside. The cat jumped off the bin and rubbed against Lily's leg. Lily petted the cat and said, "Hi, kitty. What is your name?"
+
+The cat meowed again and licked Lily's hand. Lily felt happy. She said, "Do you live here, kitty? Do you want to be my friend?" The cat nodded and followed Lily back to the house. Lily opened the door and said, "Mom, look! I found a kitty on the bin. Can we keep him?"
+
+Her mom looked at the cat and smiled. She said, "Oh, Lily, you did a great job taking out the trash. And you made a new friend. I think the kitty likes you. He looks like he needs a home. I think we can keep him. What do you want to name him?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I want to name him Bin. Because I found him on the bin. And because he is my bin buddy."
+
+Her mom laughed and hugged Lily and Bin. She said, "That is a perfect name, Lily. Welcome to our family, Bin. You are a very lucky kitty."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a trumpet. They make a lot of noise.
+
+"Ben, stop blowing your trumpet!" Lily says. "It is too loud. I want to play with my doll."
+
+"But I like my trumpet!" Ben says. "It makes fun sounds. I want to play with my trumpet."
+
+They argue and fight. Mom hears them and comes to their room.
+
+"Kids, what is going on?" Mom says. "Why are you so noisy?"
+
+"Lily and Ben point at each other and say, "He/she started it!"
+
+Mom shakes her head. "It is time for your nap. You are both sleepy and cranky. Put away your toys and get into your beds."
+
+Lily and Ben do not want to nap. They pout and whine. But Mom is firm. She tucks them in and kisses them.
+
+"Sleep well, my loves," Mom says. "I will be back soon. And please, no more trumpet or doll."
+
+She turns off the light and closes the door. Lily and Ben are quiet for a while. Then they hear a soft sound.
+
+"Psst, Lily," Ben whispers. "Are you still awake?"
+
+"Yes, Ben," Lily whispers back. "Are you?"
+
+"Yes, Lily," Ben says. "I have an idea. Let's trade toys. You can have my trumpet and I can have your doll. Then we can play quietly and not get in trouble."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes Ben's trumpet. It is shiny and colorful. She nods and smiles.
+
+"OK, Ben," Lily says. "Let's trade. But be careful. Don't make too much noise."
+
+They reach out and swap their toys. They hug them and giggle. They play with their new toys under the covers. They are happy and forget about their nap. They do not hear Mom coming back. She opens the door and sees them.
+
+"Kids, what are you doing?" Mom says. "You are supposed to be sleeping. And why do you have each other's toys?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at Mom. They are surprised and guilty. They drop their toys and hide under the covers. They do not say anything.
+
+Mom sighs and smiles. She picks up the toys and puts them back in their places. She pulls the covers over them and kisses them again.
+
+"I love you, my silly twins," Mom says. "But you really need to sleep. No more trading or playing. Just close your eyes and dream."
+
+She turns off the light and closes the door again. Lily and Ben are quiet for a while. Then they hear a soft sound.
+
+"Psst, Ben," Lily whispers. "Are you still awake?"
+
+"Yes, Lily," Ben whispers back. "Are you?"
+
+"Yes, Ben," Lily says. "I love you, brother."
+
+"I love you, sister," Ben says.
+
+They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of trumpets and dolls. They are happy and peaceful.
+Tim and Sue were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall stacks of blocks and knock them down. Tim had a big idea. He wanted to carry all the blocks to the kitchen and make a giant stack on the table.
+
+"Come on, Sue, help me carry the blocks," he said. "We can make the biggest stack ever!"
+
+Sue was not sure. She looked at the blocks and then at the table. The table was very high and the blocks were very heavy. She was worried they would fall and make a big mess.
+
+"Tim, I don't think we should do that," she said. "The blocks are too heavy and the table is too high. What if we drop them or they fall down? Mom will be mad at us."
+
+Tim did not listen. He picked up as many blocks as he could and started to walk to the kitchen. He was not careful and he bumped into the couch. Some of the blocks fell out of his arms and made a loud noise.
+
+"Tim, stop!" Sue said. "You are making a mess! Put the blocks back!"
+
+But Tim did not stop. He kept walking to the kitchen. He reached the table and tried to put the blocks on it. But he could not reach. He stretched and stretched, but he was too short. He lost his balance and fell to the floor. All the blocks came crashing down with him. They made a huge noise and scattered everywhere.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Tim on the floor and the blocks all over the place. She was not happy.
+
+"Tim, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why did you carry all the blocks to the kitchen? You made a big mess and you could have hurt yourself!"
+
+Tim felt bad. He knew he had done something wrong. He looked at Sue and saw that she was right. He should have listened to her. He was sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," he said. "I wanted to make a giant stack of blocks, but it was a bad idea. I should have listened to Sue. She was worried and she was right."
+
+Mom sighed. She was glad that Tim was not hurt, but she was not pleased with the mess. She told Tim and Sue to help her clean up the blocks and put them back in the living room. She also told them to be more careful and respectful with their toys.
+
+Tim and Sue nodded. They helped Mom clean up the blocks and apologized to her. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with the blocks in the living room and not carry them to the kitchen. They also decided to listen to each other and not do things that would make them worried. They had more fun that way.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They saw a big fence that had a hole in it. They wanted to see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe there are more toys or animals or flowers there!"
+
+"OK, Ben!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy and Daddy said not to go too far."
+
+They ran to the fence and crawled through the hole. They saw a big hill with green grass and yellow flowers. They smiled and ran up the hill. They felt happy and free.
+
+But then, Lily stepped on a slippery rock and fell down. She rolled and rolled until she hit the fence. She hurt her knee and her elbow and her head. She cried and cried. She felt scared and helpless.
+
+"Ben! Ben! Help me!" Lily shouted.
+
+Ben heard Lily and ran back to the fence. He saw Lily lying on the ground, bleeding and crying. He felt sorry and worried.
+
+"Lily! Lily! I'm here!" Ben said. "Don't cry, Lily. I'll help you."
+
+He crawled through the hole and hugged Lily. He tried to wipe her tears and her blood. He said nice words to make her feel better.
+
+"It's OK, Lily. It's OK. You'll be fine. I'm here. I love you."
+
+He helped Lily stand up and walk back to the yard. He held her hand and said sorry. He said they should never go to the fence again.
+
+They saw Mommy and Daddy waiting for them. They looked angry and scared. They asked them what happened and why they went to the fence.
+
+Lily and Ben told them the truth. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They said they loved them and they needed their help.
+
+Mommy and Daddy hugged them and kissed them. They said they loved them too and they were glad they were safe. They said they would help them and take care of them. They said they were proud of them for being brave and honest.
+
+They took them inside and cleaned their wounds and gave them band-aids and ice-cream. They said they were sorry for being angry and scared. They said they just wanted them to be happy and healthy.
+
+Lily and Ben felt better and said thank you. They said they were happy and healthy too. They said they would never go to the fence again. They said they would always listen to Mommy and Daddy. They said they would always play together and help each other. They said they were the best friends ever.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. It was a lovely day.
+
+But then, the clouds came. They were big and dark and scary. They made a loud noise. It was thunder. Lily and Tom were scared. They wanted to go home.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, where are you?" they shouted. They looked for their mommy. She was sitting on a bench. She had an umbrella. She saw Lily and Tom and waved to them.
+
+"Come here, my darlings," she said. "Don't be afraid. I have an umbrella. We can stay dry."
+
+Lily and Tom ran to their mommy. She opened the umbrella and hugged them. They felt safe and warm. The umbrella was red and yellow and green. It had flowers and stars on it. It was a lovely umbrella.
+
+"Look, mommy, your umbrella is so pretty," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is," mommy said. "And you know what? You are prettier."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled. They loved their mommy. They loved her umbrella. They didn't mind the rain. They were happy.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in their bedroom. But they do not like to clean up. Their bedroom is very messy. There are dolls, cars, books, and blocks everywhere.
+
+One day, Mom comes to their bedroom. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Max, look at this mess! You need to clean up your toys. It is time for lunch."
+
+Lily and Max do not want to clean up. They want to keep playing. They shake their heads. They say, "No, Mom, we are not hungry. We want to play."
+
+Mom is not happy. She says, "Lily and Max, you cannot play all day. You need to eat and rest. If you clean up your toys, I will give you a cookie. Do you want a cookie?"
+
+Lily and Max love cookies. They nod their heads. They say, "Yes, Mom, we want a cookie. We will clean up our toys."
+
+Mom is happy. She says, "Good, Lily and Max. I will help you. Then we can go to the kitchen and have lunch and a cookie."
+
+Lily and Max are happy. They help Mom clean up their toys. They put them in the boxes and shelves. Their bedroom is not messy anymore. They go to the kitchen and have lunch and a cookie.

+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play together in the house. Sometimes they are hungry and they want a snack. They know where the snacks are. They are in the refrigerator.
+
+One day, Mom is busy in the other room. Tom and Mia sneak into the kitchen. They see the refrigerator. They open the door. They see many good things. They see cheese, and juice, and fruit, and cake.
+
+"Look, Mia, cake!" Tom says. He reaches for the cake. It is big and sweet and has frosting.
+
+"Tom, no!" Mia says. "Mom said no cake before dinner. Cake is for later. We should resist. We should have something else."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He wants the cake. He grabs the cake. He takes a big bite. He smiles. He is happy.
+
+Mia is not happy. She is sad. She knows Mom will be angry. She knows Tom will have a tummy ache. She tries to stop Tom. She pulls his arm. She says, "Tom, stop! Put the cake back! Please!"
+
+But Tom does not stop. He eats more cake. He says, "Mia, don't be silly. Cake is yummy. Have some cake. You will be happy too."
+
+Mia shakes her head. She does not want cake. She wants to be good. She wants to resist. She closes the refrigerator door. She runs to Mom. She tells Mom what Tom did.
+
+Mom is not happy. She is mad. She goes to the kitchen. She sees Tom with the cake. She sees the mess. She says, "Tom, what did you do? You know you are not supposed to have cake before dinner. You are naughty. You have to go to your room. No more cake for you."
+
+Tom is not happy. He is sad. He is sorry. He has a tummy ache. He says, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was hungry. I could not resist. The cake looked so good."
+
+Mom says, "Tom, I understand. But you have to learn to resist. You have to wait for the right time. You have to follow the rules. You have to respect the food. Now go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Tom goes to his room. He cries. He wishes he had listened to Mia. He wishes he had resisted the cake. He wishes he had been good. He hopes Mom will forgive him. He hopes Mia will still play with him. He hopes he will feel better soon.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bottle of water and a small bottle of paint. They wanted to make a picture on the wall.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can spread the paint with my fingers!" Tim said. He dipped his fingers in the paint and made lines and dots on the wall.
+
+"That's impressive, Tim! Can I try?" Lily asked. She took the small bottle of paint and poured some on her hand. She spread the paint on the wall too. She made circles and stars.
+
+They were having fun. They used all the paint in the small bottle. They wanted more colors.
+
+"Let's use the water!" Tim said. He took the big bottle of water and opened it. He splashed some water on the wall. The water mixed with the paint and made new colors.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said. She took the big bottle of water from Tim and splashed more water on the wall. The water and the paint made a big rainbow.
+
+They were very happy. They had made a beautiful picture on the wall. They ran to show their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, look what we did!" Tim and Lily said. They pointed to the wall.
+
+Mom came to see. She saw the wall covered with paint and water. She saw the rainbow. She smiled.
+
+"That's very impressive, Tim and Lily! You are very creative!" Mom said. She hugged them. "But next time, please ask me before you use the paint and the water, okay?"

+Anna and Ben were twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to play with the animals, especially the sheep. The sheep were soft and warm and made funny noises.
+
+One day, it was very cold and windy. Anna and Ben put on their hats and coats and went to see the sheep. They saw that some of the sheep had thick wool, but others had less wool. They wondered why.
+
+They asked their dad, who was feeding the sheep. "Dad, why do some sheep have more wool than others?" they said.
+
+Dad smiled and said, "Well, some sheep are modest and share their wool with us. We use their wool to make clothes and blankets. They give us some of their wool every year, so they have less wool than others. But they are still warm and happy."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They thought that was very nice of the sheep. They wanted to thank them. They went to the sheep with less wool and hugged them. They said, "Thank you, sheep, for sharing your wool with us. You are very kind and modest."

+The sheep baaed and licked their faces. They seemed to like the hugs. Anna and Ben felt warm and happy too. They did not shiver in the cold. They stayed with the sheep until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the sheep and ran to their dad. They told him they loved the sheep and the farm. Dad hugged them and said, "I love you too, my little lambs."
+Lily liked to record sounds with her toy phone. She liked to record the birds, the wind, and the songs her mom sang. She wanted to record something new and different.
+
+One day, she went with her mom to the city. She saw many cars and buses and bikes. She heard horns and sirens and engines. She thought it was very loud and busy. She wanted to record the traffic.
+
+She asked her mom if she could record the traffic. Her mom said yes, but be careful. She gave Lily her toy phone and held her hand. They crossed the street and stood on the sidewalk. Lily pressed the button and held the phone to her ear.
+
+She heard the traffic, but she also heard something else. She heard a man playing a guitar. He was sitting on a bench with a hat. He was singing a beautiful song. Lily liked the song. She thought it was very nice and happy. She wanted to record the song.
+
+She asked her mom if she could record the song. Her mom said yes, but be polite. She gave Lily a coin and told her to put it in the hat. Lily did as she was told and smiled at the man. The man smiled back and thanked her. Lily pressed the button and held the phone to her ear.
+
+She recorded the song and the traffic. She listened to them later at home. She liked both sounds, but she liked the song more. She learned that even in a loud and busy place, you can find something beautiful and kind. She learned to appreciate the music and the people who make it. She learned to record with her ears and her heart.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their bikes. They liked to go fast and make turns. Lily was good at leaning her bike to the side when she turned. Ben wanted to be like Lily, but he was scared of falling.
+
+"Look at me, Ben!" Lily shouted. "I can lean my bike so much!"
+
+Ben watched Lily lean her bike and zoom around a tree. He wanted to try, but he felt his heart beat fast. He pushed his bike a little and leaned a little. He felt his bike wobble and he lost his balance. He fell off his bike and scraped his knee. He cried out loud.
+
+Lily heard Ben cry and stopped her bike. She ran to him and saw his knee bleeding. She felt worried and sorry for him.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. "Does it hurt a lot?"
+
+Ben nodded and sobbed. He held his knee and looked at the blood. He felt scared and hurt.
+
+"We need to get help, Ben," Lily said. "We need to find a grown-up. This is an emergency."
+
+Lily helped Ben get up and walk to his bike. She put his bike on the side and held his hand. She looked around and saw a lady with a dog. She waved her hand and called out.
+
+"Excuse me, lady!" she said. "Can you help us? My friend Ben fell off his bike and he is bleeding. He needs a band-aid and a hug."
+
+The lady with the dog saw Lily and Ben and came over. She saw Ben's knee and felt sorry for him. She had a band-aid and a tissue in her pocket. She knelt down and cleaned Ben's knee. She put the band-aid on it and gave him a hug.
+
+"There, there," she said. "You are very brave, Ben. It will heal soon. Do you feel better?"
+
+Ben nodded and smiled a little. He felt less scared and hurt. He thanked the lady and hugged her back.
+
+"You are very welcome, Ben," she said. "And you are very smart, Lily. You did the right thing to ask for help. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily smiled and thanked the lady too. She hugged Ben and took his hand. They got their bikes and said goodbye to the lady and the dog. They rode back to their homes, slowly and carefully. They were happy to have each other.
+Ben was a boy who loved to play the trumpet. He had a big, shiny trumpet that made loud and funny sounds. He liked to play it for his friends, his family and his dog. He was very happy with his trumpet.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom and his trumpet. He saw some other kids playing with a ball, a bike and a doll. He wanted to join them and show them his trumpet. He ran to them and said, "Hi, I am Ben. Do you want to hear my trumpet?"
+
+But the other kids did not want to hear his trumpet. They laughed at him and said, "Your trumpet is silly and noisy. You are a baby. Go away!" They made fun of his trumpet and his hair. Ben had very little hair on his head. He was bald. He felt very sad and angry.
+
+He ran back to his mom and started to weep. He hugged his trumpet and said, "Mom, they are mean. They don't like my trumpet. They don't like me. They say I am a baby and I am bald."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "Don't weep, Ben. You are not a baby. You are a big boy. You are bald because you are special. You have a rare condition that makes your hair fall out. But it does not matter. You are still beautiful and smart and brave. And your trumpet is wonderful. It makes you happy and it makes me happy. Don't let them hurt you. They are just jealous and rude. You have something they don't have. You have a talent and a passion. You have a trumpet."
+
+Ben smiled and wiped his tears. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. I love my trumpet. And I love you. Can we play some music together?"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. Let's play some music together. Let's make the park sing with our trumpets."
+
+They took out their trumpets and started to play. They played loud and funny and happy sounds. They played for themselves and for their dog. They did not care about the other kids. They were happy with their trumpets.
+Tom and Sue were big kids who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to drive them on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. Sometimes they made noises like vroom and beep.
+
+One day, they saw a new car in the bathroom. It was shiny and white and had a handle. They thought it was a car for water. They wanted to drive it and see what it could do. They took turns to sit on it and pull the handle. They laughed when they saw the water splash and swirl.
+
+But they did not know that the car was really a toilet. It was not for playing, it was for peeing and pooping. Mom and Dad used it when they needed to go. They also put spicy food in it when they did not like it. The spicy food made the water hot and red.
+
+When Tom pulled the handle, he saw the hot and red water come out. He screamed and jumped off the toilet. He felt the water burn his bottom and legs. He cried and ran to Mom and Dad. Sue saw what happened and was scared. She also ran to Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad were angry and worried. They saw Tom and Sue wet and red. They saw the toilet broken and messy. They knew what the kids had done. They took them to the doctor and the plumber. They said they were sorry and they would not play with the toilet again. But they still had to pay a lot of money and stay in bed for a long time. They learned that the toilet was not a car and that spicy food was not for water. They wished they had played with their own cars instead.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. Tim has a trumpet. He can make loud sounds with it. Sam has a ball. He can throw it high in the air.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big tree. They want to climb it.
+
+"Can we climb the tree, mom?" Tim asks.
+
+"OK, but be careful. And stay close to us," his mom says.
+
+Tim and Sam run to the tree. They start to climb. They go higher and higher. They feel happy.
+
+"Look at me, Sam! I'm so high!" Tim says. He holds his trumpet in his hand.
+
+"Me too, Tim! I'm so high!" Sam says. He holds his ball in his hand.
+
+They laugh and smile. They look at the sky. They see birds and clouds.
+
+Suddenly, Tim slips. He loses his balance. He drops his trumpet. It falls to the ground.
+
+"Oh no! My trumpet!" Tim cries.
+
+Sam sees Tim. He gets scared. He drops his ball. It falls to the ground.
+
+"Oh no! Your trumpet! My ball!" Sam cries.
+
+They hear their moms. They call their names.
+
+"Tim! Sam! Are you OK?" their moms say.
+
+Tim and Sam look at their moms. They feel sorry. They want to go down.
+
+"Mom! We're sorry! We want to go down!" they say.
+
+Their moms help them. They go down the tree. They hug them. They check them.
+
+"Are you hurt? Are you scared?" their moms say.
+
+"No, mom. We're OK. We're sorry," they say.
+
+Their moms look at their toys. They see the trumpet and the ball. They are not broken. They are dirty.
+
+"Here are your toys. They are not broken. They are dirty. You can clean them later," their moms say.
+

+
+They take their toys. They feel happy again. They learn a lesson.
+
+"Next time, we will be more careful. And we will stay close to our moms," they say.
+Jill and Ben are friends. They like to draw with crayons on paper. Jill has a big eraser. It is pink and soft. Ben does not have an eraser. He has a pencil.
+
+One day, they draw a picture of a house. Jill draws a door, a window, and a roof. Ben draws a chimney, a tree, and a cat. They are happy with their picture.
+
+But then, Jill sees a mistake. She drew the window too big. She wants to fix it. She takes her eraser and rubs the paper. The window becomes smaller.
+
+Ben sees what Jill does. He is curious. He asks, "What is that?"
+
+Jill says, "This is my eraser. It can make things go away. Do you want to try?"
+
+Ben nods. He takes the eraser from Jill. He looks at his picture. He sees a mistake. He drew the cat too small. He wants to fix it. He rubs the paper with the eraser. The cat becomes bigger.
+
+Jill and Ben are amazed. They say, "Wow, this is fun!"
+
+They take turns to use the eraser. They change their picture. They make things bigger and smaller. They make things different and unique. They laugh and giggle.
+
+They do not know that the eraser is magic. It can make things come true. The house, the chimney, the tree, and the cat become real. They jump out of the paper. They are alive.
+
+Jill and Ben are surprised. They say, "Wow, this is amazing!"
+
+They play with their new friends. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They thank the eraser. They say, "You are a unique eraser. You are the best!"
+One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big bird fly in the sky. It was light blue and had a long tail. They wanted to fly like the bird.
+
+They ran inside the house and looked for something to help them fly. They found a big toilet paper roll in the bathroom. They thought it was a good idea to use it as a wing. They each took one end of the roll and ran outside.
+
+They jumped and waved the roll in the air. They hoped they would fly like the bird. But they did not fly. They only fell on the grass. The roll broke and the paper flew everywhere. They were sad and dirty.
+
+Mom saw them and came to help. She was not angry. She smiled and hugged them. She said, "You can't fly with a toilet paper roll, silly. But you can pretend to fly with your imagination. Close your eyes and think of the bird. How does it feel to fly?"
+
+Tom and Lily closed their eyes and thought of the bird. They felt the wind on their faces and the sun on their backs. They felt happy and free. They opened their eyes and smiled. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We can fly with our imagination."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be a waiter and a customer at a fancy restaurant. Anna wears a hat and a apron. Ben wears a tie and a jacket.
+
+Anna: Welcome to the fancy restaurant. What do you want to eat?
+
+Ben: I want a pizza with cheese and pepperoni.
+
+Anna: Okay, I will give you a pizza. Do you want anything to drink?
+
+Ben: I want a juice with ice.
+
+Anna: Okay, I will give you a juice. Please wait here.
+
+Anna goes to the kitchen and makes a pizza and a juice. She puts them on a tray and brings them to Ben.
+
+Anna: Here is your pizza and your juice. Enjoy your meal.
+
+Ben: Thank you, Anna. This looks yummy.
+
+Anna: You're welcome, Ben. Do you need anything else?
+
+Ben: No, I'm good. How much do I have to pay?
+
+Anna: You have to pay five dollars.
+
+Ben: Okay, here is five dollars. And here is a tip for you.
+
+Anna: A tip? What is a tip?
+
+Ben: A tip is extra money that you give to someone who does a good job.
+
+Anna: Oh, thank you, Ben. You are very nice.
+
+Ben: You're welcome, Anna. You are a very good waiter.
+
+Anna: Thank you, Ben. You are a very good customer.
+
+They smile and hug. They finish their pizza and juice. They clean up the dishes and the tray. They put away their hats and aprons and ties and jackets. They go to play something else. They have fun.
+Tom and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make a race track with blocks and books on the floor. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and zoom their cars along the track.
+
+Tom's car is red and fast. Mia's car is blue and shiny. They both want to win the race and get the medal. The medal is a big coin with a star on it. Tom and Mia found it in a box of old things. They think it is very special.
+
+Tom and Mia zoom their cars around the corners and over the bridges. They cheer and laugh as they race. But then, Tom's car hits a book and flips over. Mia's car zooms past him and reaches the finish line first.
+
+"I win, I win!" Mia shouts. She picks up the medal and puts it around her neck. She smiles and dances with joy.
+
+Tom feels sad and angry. He wants the medal too. He says, "No fair, no fair! You cheated! Give me the medal!"
+
+Mia says, "No, I did not cheat. I was faster. I earned the medal. You can try again next time."
+
+Tom does not listen. He tries to grab the medal from Mia. Mia holds on tight. They pull and tug and fight over the medal. They do not see that the medal breaks in half.
+
+They stop fighting and look at the medal. It is not a big coin with a star anymore. It is two empty pieces of metal. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "Oh no, oh no! We broke the medal! We are sorry!"
+
+They hug and say, "We are sorry. We are friends. We do not need a medal to have fun. We have each other and our cars."
+
+They put the broken medal in the box of old things. They pick up their cars and zoom them on the track again. They do not care who wins or loses. They just play and have fun.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Tim found a cricket under a leaf. It was thin and green and had long legs.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a cricket!" Tim said. He picked up the cricket and ran to Lily.
+
+"Show me, show me!" Lily said. She wanted to see the cricket too. She reached out her hand to touch it.
+
+But Tim did not want to share. He held the cricket tight in his fist. He did not let Lily see it.
+
+"No, it's mine! Go away!" Tim said. He pushed Lily with his other hand.
+
+Lily fell down and hurt her knee. She started to cry. She was sad and angry.
+
+"Tim, you are mean! You are not my friend!" Lily said. She ran to the house to tell Mom.
+
+Tim was left alone with the cricket. He opened his hand to look at it. But the cricket was not moving. It was dead. Tim had squeezed it too hard. He felt sorry and scared.
+
+"Cricket, wake up, wake up!" Tim said. But the cricket did not wake up. Tim threw it away and ran to the house too. He wanted to say sorry to Lily and Mom. But he did not know how.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with toys and make up stories. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make an aeroplane out of it. They cut out windows and wings and drew buttons and dials. They put on helmets and goggles and pretended to fly.
+
+"Look, Sam, we are flying over the mountains!" Lily said.
+
+"Wow, Lily, we are so powerful! We can go anywhere we want!" Sam said.
+
+They had a lot of fun with their aeroplane. They flew over the sea, the jungle, the city and the moon. They laughed and sang and made noises.
+
+But then, they heard a voice. It was Lily's mom. She called them for lunch.
+
+"Come on, kids, it's time to eat. You must be hungry after your adventure."
+
+Lily and Sam jumped out of their aeroplane. They ran to the kitchen. They smelled the yummy food. They forgot about their aeroplane.
+
+They ate their sandwiches and drank their juice. They talked about their flight. They thanked Lily's mom for the lunch.
+
+"Can we go back to our aeroplane, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but don't forget to clean up your mess in the garage," Lily's mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They ran back to the garage. But when they got there, they saw something sad. Their aeroplane was gone. Someone had thrown it away.
+
+They felt very sad. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+"Who did this? Why did they take our aeroplane?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe they didn't know it was ours. Maybe they thought it was trash," Sam said.
+
+They wished they had not forgotten their aeroplane. They wished they had taken care of it. They learned a lesson. They learned to value their things and not to leave them behind. They learned to be responsible and respectful. They learned to remember.
+Tim and Kim are twins who like to play with toys. They have many toys, but they do not share them. They always fight over who gets the best toy. One day, they find a big box in the attic. They open it and see many old toys inside. They are very happy and want to play with them.
+
+But Tim and Kim do not agree on who gets what toy. Tim wants the toy car, but Kim wants it too. Kim wants the doll, but Tim wants it too. They start to pull and tug on the toys, trying to take them from each other. They do not care if they break the toys or hurt each other.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud squeak. They look inside the box and see a big rat. The rat is angry and scared. It has been living in the box for a long time. It does not like the noise and the mess that Tim and Kim are making. It jumps out of the box and runs towards them, showing its sharp teeth.
+
+Tim and Kim are very afraid. They drop the toys and scream. They run out of the attic and slam the door behind them. They hug each other and cry. They are sorry for being so greedy and mean. They realize that toys are not as important as being kind and sharing. They decide to go back to the attic and give some of the toys to the rat. They hope that the rat will be happy and leave them alone.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not be selfish and fight over things. Be generous and friendly. You will be happier and safer.
+Sara was lonely. She had no friends to play with at home. She only had her doll, Lily, and her teddy, Ben. She liked to talk to them and hug them, but they could not talk back or hug her.
+
+One day, Sara had an idea. She asked her mom if she could go to the park. Mom said yes, but she had to be careful and stay close. Sara was happy. She put Lily and Ben in her backpack and went to the park with mom.
+
+At the park, Sara saw many kids. They were running, swinging, sliding, and laughing. Sara wanted to join them, but she was shy. She sat on a bench with mom and watched. She felt lonely again.
+
+Then, she saw a girl with curly hair and a pink dress. She was holding a ball. She looked friendly and fun. Sara wanted to play with her. She took a deep breath and made a request.
+
+"Hi, I'm Sara. Can I play with you?" she asked.
+
+The girl smiled and said, "Sure, I'm Mia. Do you like my ball? It's a surprise from my grandma. Do you want to throw it with me?"
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She took out Lily and Ben from her backpack and said, "These are my friends. Lily and Ben. Can they play too?"
+
+Mia nodded and smiled. She said, "Of course. They are cute. I have a friend too. His name is Max. He's a dog. He's over there with my mom. Do you want to meet him?"
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, I love dogs. Let's go."
+
+Sara and Mia ran to Max and their moms. They introduced themselves and their friends. They played with the ball and the dog. They had fun. They were not lonely anymore. They made new friends.
+Sara and Tom were twins, but they liked different things. Sara liked pink and dolls, Tom liked blue and cars. They had different blankets too. Sara's blanket was soft and fluffy, Tom's blanket was thin and smooth.
+
+One day, they went to the park with Mom. Mom said they could pick a spot to play. Sara saw a big slide and ran to it. Tom saw a sandbox and ran to it. They left their blankets on the grass.
+
+"Look, Mom, I can slide so fast!" Sara said, sliding down with a smile.
+
+"Look, Mom, I can make a castle!" Tom said, digging and molding with a shovel.
+
+Mom smiled and watched them have fun.
+
+But then, a big dog came to the park. The dog saw the blankets and thought they were toys. He ran to them and grabbed them with his teeth. He shook them and tore them. He made a big mess.
+
+Sara and Tom heard the dog and looked at their blankets. They were shocked and sad. They ran to the dog and tried to get their blankets back.
+
+"Hey, dog, that's my blanket!" Sara said, pulling on the pink one.
+
+"Hey, dog, that's my blanket!" Tom said, pulling on the blue one.
+
+But the dog was strong and stubborn. He growled and pulled harder. He did not want to give up the blankets.
+
+Mom saw the trouble and came to help. She called the dog's owner and asked him to control his dog. The owner apologized and took the dog away. He said he was sorry for the blankets.
+
+Sara and Tom looked at their blankets. They were ripped and dirty. They could not use them anymore. They felt very sad. They hugged Mom and cried.
+
+Mom hugged them back and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I know you liked your blankets. But they are just things. You are more important to me than any blanket. And you still have each other. You are twins, and you are special."
+
+Sara and Tom looked at each other. They wiped their tears and smiled. They realized Mom was right. They still had each other, and they were special. They did not need different blankets to be happy. They hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. And we love each other too."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, my loves. And I have an idea. Why don't we go to the store and pick new blankets for you? You can choose any color or pattern you want. Maybe you can even find some that are different and the same, like you."
+
+Sara and Tom liked the idea. They nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, let's go!"
+
+They held Mom's hand and walked to the store. They were excited to pick new blankets. They hoped they would find some that were different and the same, like them.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom on the floor and pretend they were racing. Tom had a red car and Lily had a blue car.
+
+"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Tom said, as he pushed his car ahead of Lily's.
+
+"No, it's not! My car is better!" Lily said, as she tried to catch up with Tom's.
+
+They zoomed their cars around the room, bumping into each other and making loud noises. They did not see that their dad was trying to work on his laptop at the table. He was bald and wore glasses. He looked very tired and annoyed.
+
+"Tom, Lily, please settle down!" he said, raising his voice. "I need some quiet to finish my work. Can you play something else?"
+
+Tom and Lily stopped their cars and looked at their dad. They did not want to make him angry, but they also did not want to stop playing.
+
+"Sorry, dad," Tom said. "But we like to play with our cars. They are fun."
+
+"Yeah, they are fun," Lily agreed. "Can we play with them in our room?"
+
+Their dad thought for a moment. He wanted to be nice to his kids, but he also needed some peace. He had an idea.
+
+"How about this?" he said. "You can play with your cars in your room, but only if you take turns. One of you can zoom your car for a while, and then the other one can zoom their car. That way, you can both have fun and not make too much noise. What do you think?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not like the idea of taking turns, but they also did not want to upset their dad. They nodded.
+
+"Okay, dad," Tom said. "We will try that."
+
+"Okay, dad," Lily said. "We will try that."
+
+They picked up their cars and went to their room. They closed the door and started to play. They took turns zooming their cars, but they still argued a little bit.
+
+"My turn, my turn!" Tom said, as he grabbed Lily's car.
+
+"No, it's still my turn!" Lily said, as she pulled Tom's car.
+
+Their dad heard them and sighed. He hoped they would settle down soon. He went back to his work and tried to ignore the noise. He wished he had a car that could zoom away.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They saw a big rock that was shiny and smooth. Tom wanted to polish the rock and make it more shiny. He found a cloth and rubbed the rock hard.
+
+"Look, Mia, how shiny my rock is!" Tom said. "It is the best rock in the garden!"
+
+Mia looked at the rock. She saw a tiny ant crawling on it. The ant was calm and did not mind the cloth. Mia liked the ant. She wanted to be its friend.
+
+"Hello, ant," Mia said softly. "Do you like the rock? Can I play with you?"
+
+The ant stopped and looked at Mia. It waved its antennae and made a small sound. Mia smiled and waved back.
+
+"Tom, look, the ant is talking to me!" Mia said. "It is so cute and friendly!"
+
+Tom looked at the ant. He did not like it. He thought it was dirty and ugly. He wanted to get rid of it. He grabbed the cloth and tried to wipe the ant off the rock.
+
+"Go away, ant!" Tom said. "You are ruining my rock! It is mine, not yours!"
+
+Mia was sad and angry. She pushed Tom away and hugged the rock. She protected the ant from the cloth.
+
+"Stop, Tom!" Mia said. "You are being mean and selfish! The ant is not hurting your rock! It is sharing it with you! You should share too, and be kind!"
+
+Tom was surprised and ashamed. He saw that Mia was right. He had been mean and selfish. He had not shared his rock or been kind to the ant. He felt sorry for what he had done.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia," Tom said. "I'm sorry, ant. You are right. I should share and be kind. Can we be friends?"
+
+Mia smiled and nodded. She moved the rock closer to Tom. The ant crawled on both of their hands. It waved its antennae and made a small sound. Tom smiled and waved back.
+
+They all became friends and played happily in the garden.
+
+The moral of the story is: We should share and be kind to others, even if they are different from us. We can make new friends and learn new things if we are open and respectful.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a shiny coin on the ground. Lily wanted to take it, but Ben said no. He said it was not theirs and someone might need it.
+
+Lily did not listen. She took the coin and ran away. Ben was sad and worried. He did not want to lose his friend or make someone else unhappy.
+
+Lily was happy with the coin at first. She thought it was pretty and valuable. She wanted to buy candy and toys with it. But soon, she felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. She missed Ben and wondered if he was still her friend.
+
+She decided to go back to the park and find Ben. She saw him sitting on a bench, looking sad. She ran to him and said she was sorry. She gave him the coin and asked him to forgive her. Ben smiled and hugged her. He said he was glad she came back and he was still her friend.
+
+They went to look for the owner of the coin. They saw a man looking for something on the ground. They gave him the coin and told him they found it. The man was happy and thanked them. He said he needed the coin to buy food for his family. He gave them a candy each and said they were very kind and honest.
+
+Lily and Ben learned a lesson that day. They learned that taking something that is not yours is wrong and makes you feel bad. They learned that being honest and generous makes you feel good and makes others happy. They learned that friendship is more important than money. They were happy and proud of themselves.
+Lily liked to study stories. She had many books with pictures and words. She liked to look at the pictures and say the words. Sometimes, her mom or dad would read the stories to her and she would listen.
+
+One day, Lily found a new book in her room. It was a big book with a shiny cover. It had a picture of a dragon and a princess. Lily was curious. She opened the book and saw more pictures and words. She tried to read the words, but they were hard. She asked her mom for help.
+
+"Mom, can you read this story to me? It looks brilliant!" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. This is a story about a brave princess and a friendly dragon. Do you want to hear it?" Mom said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said.
+
+Mom sat down with Lily and the book. She read the story to Lily and showed her the pictures. Lily listened and smiled. She liked the story. She liked the princess and the dragon. She learned some new words. She thanked her mom for reading to her.
+
+"Mom, can we study this story again tomorrow?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, honey. We can study this story as many times as you want. It is a brilliant story, and you are a brilliant girl." Mom said.
+
+Lily hugged her mom and the book. She was happy. She loved to study stories.
+Ben and Lily are playing in the living room. They have many toys and books on the floor. Mom comes in and says, "It is time to clean up, kids. We have guests coming soon."
+
+Ben and Lily do not want to stop playing. They say, "But Mom, we are having fun. Can we clean later?"
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you have to clean now. It is not nice to have a messy house when people visit. Come on, I will help you."
+
+Mom picks up a big box and puts some toys inside. She gives the box to Ben and says, "Ben, you can put this box in your room. Lily, you can help me with the books."
+
+Lily nods and follows Mom. She sees a bulb on the table. It is a fake bulb. It does not light up. It is part of a magic set that Ben got for his birthday. Lily likes the bulb. She thinks it is pretty. She wants to play with it.
+
+She says, "Mom, can I have this bulb? I want to make magic."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Sure, you can have the bulb. But first, you have to help me with the books. Then you can play with the bulb."
+
+Lily agrees and helps Mom. She puts the books on the shelf. She is careful not to drop them. She is a good helper. When she is done, she takes the bulb and says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom hugs her and says, "You are welcome, Lily. I love you too. You are a good girl. Now, let's go and see if Ben is done with his box."
+
+They go to Ben's room and see that he has put the box away. He has also made his bed and put his clothes in the hamper. He is a good boy. Mom praises him and says, "Good job, Ben. You are a good boy. I am proud of you."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom hugs him and says, "I love you too. You are a good son. Now, let's go and wash our hands. The guests will be here soon."
+
+They go to the bathroom and wash their hands. They are clean and ready. They go to the living room and wait for the guests. They are happy and excited. They have cleaned up and they have a fake bulb to make magic. They are good kids.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One morning, their mom said, "We are going to the store today. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+"Yes, yes!" Lily and Ben said. They put on their coats and shoes and got in the car. They were excited to see the store.
+
+At the store, they saw many things. They saw books, clothes, food, and toys. Lily and Ben wanted to look at everything. They held their mom's hand and walked around.
+
+"Look, mom, a doll!" Lily said. She pointed to a charming doll with a pink dress and long hair. "Can I have it, please?"
+
+"Look, mom, a truck!" Ben said. He pointed to a big truck with wheels and lights. "Can I have it, please?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You can each choose one thing, but you have to share with each other. Is that okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom." They picked up the doll and the truck and hugged them. They were happy to have new toys.
+
+Mom paid for the things and they went back to the car. Lily and Ben said, "We love the store, mom. Can we come again?"
+
+Mom said, "Maybe another day, my sweeties. Now let's go home and play with your toys." She kissed them and drove home. Lily and Ben sang songs and played with their toys on the way. They had a fun morning at the store.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and watch cartoons. One day, Tom has a new watch. It is blue and shiny. It can make sounds and show pictures.
+
+"Look at my watch, Lily!" Tom says. "It is cool. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily nods. She likes watches. She goes to Tom and looks at his watch. She sees a dog on the screen. It barks and wags its tail.
+
+"Wow, that is a nice watch, Tom!" Lily says. "Can I try it?"
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not want to share his watch. He thinks it is too good for Lily.
+
+"No, you can't try it, Lily," Tom says. "It is mine. You are stupid. You don't know how to use it."
+
+Lily feels sad and angry. She does not like Tom's words. She thinks he is mean and selfish.
+
+"That is not nice, Tom," Lily says. "You are not my friend. You are rude. I don't want to play with you."
+
+Lily runs away from Tom. She goes to her house. She sees her mom in the kitchen. She tells her mom what happened.
+
+"Mom, Tom has a new watch. He did not let me try it. He called me stupid. He hurt my feelings," Lily says.
+
+Lily's mom hugs her. She feels sorry for Lily. She knows Tom was wrong.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Lily's mom says. "Tom was not nice to you. He should have shared his watch. He should have been kind. You are not stupid. You are smart and sweet."
+
+Lily's mom has an idea. She wants to make Lily happy.
+
+"Why don't we invite some of your other friends to come over?" Lily's mom says. "We can have a tea party. We can play with your dolls and your books. We can have fun."
+
+Lily smiles. She likes her mom's idea. She likes tea parties. She likes her other friends. She does not need Tom's watch.
+
+"OK, mom," Lily says. "Let's invite them. That sounds fun. Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+
+Lily's mom calls some of Lily's friends. They come over soon. They bring their toys and their smiles. They have a tea party in the living room. They play with Lily's dolls and her books. They have fun. They are nice to each other. They are happy.
+
+Tom sees them from his window. He feels lonely and bored. He looks at his watch. It is not fun anymore. He wishes he had shared it with Lily. He wishes he had been kind to her. He wishes he had been her friend. He feels stupid.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box of toys in their room, but they always wanted more. Their mom and dad said they had to wait for their birthday to get new toys. Their birthday was in June, and they had a calendar on the wall to count the days.
+
+One day, Lily had an idea. She took the calendar and a crayon and changed the numbers. She made June come sooner and crossed out the other months. She showed Ben her work and said, "Look, Ben, our birthday is tomorrow! We can get new toys soon!"
+
+Ben was happy and clapped his hands. He said, "Yay, Lily, you are so smart! Let's go tell mom and dad!"
+
+They ran to the kitchen where their mom and dad were making dinner. They held up the calendar and said, "Mom, dad, look, our birthday is tomorrow! Can we have cake and presents?"
+
+Their mom and dad looked at the calendar and frowned. They saw that Lily had spoiled the calendar and made a mess. They said, "Lily, Ben, this is not right. You can't change the calendar like that. You have to wait for your real birthday. It's still a long time away."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and confused. They said, "But we want new toys now! We don't like to wait!"
+
+Their mom and dad sighed and said, "We know you want new toys, but you have to be patient and flexible. Sometimes you have to wait for things you want. And you have to respect the calendar and the months. They are important for knowing the seasons and the holidays. You can't spoil them with a crayon."
+
+They took the calendar and the crayon from Lily and Ben and threw them in the trash. They said, "We're sorry, but you can't have cake and presents tomorrow. You have to wait for your real birthday. And you have to learn to play with the toys you have. They are still good and fun. Maybe you can share them with each other and make new games."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, mom and dad. We won't spoil the calendar again. We will be flexible and patient. And we will play with our toys and share them. We love you."
+
+Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said, "We love you too, Lily and Ben. You are good kids. And don't worry, your birthday will come soon enough. And then you will have cake and presents and a big party. But for now, let's have dinner and enjoy the day."
+One night, Lily and Tom went camping with their dad. They slept in a big tent and had a fire outside. Dad told them stories about animals and stars. Lily and Tom liked the fire. It was warm and bright. It made the logs glow.
+
+"Can we roast marshmallows, dad?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, buddy. Here, take this stick and be careful," dad said. He gave Tom and Lily each a stick and a marshmallow. They put the marshmallows on the sticks and held them over the fire. The marshmallows turned brown and gooey.
+
+"Mmm, yummy!" Lily said. She bit her marshmallow and smiled.
+
+"Look, dad, the moon is out!" Tom said. He pointed to the sky. The moon was big and round and white. It shone on the tent and the trees.
+
+"That's right, son. The moon is our friend at night. It helps us see in the dark," dad said.
+
+"Is the moon far away, dad?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, honey. The moon is very far away. It is distant. But it is still beautiful," dad said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They finished their marshmallows and cuddled with dad. They watched the fire and the moon and felt happy. They fell asleep in the tent, dreaming of glowing logs and distant stars.
+Tom was a bad boy. He did not listen to his mom and dad. He liked to hit and bite and break things. One day, he ran away from home and went to the park. He saw a big dog and threw a stick at it. The dog barked and chased him. Tom was scared and ran to the street. A police car saw him and stopped. The police man got out and grabbed Tom.
+
+"Stop, little boy! You are in trouble!" the police man said. He put Tom in the back of the car and drove to the station. Tom cried and kicked the seat. He did not want to go to the station. He wanted to go home.
+
+At the station, the police man took Tom to a small room. There was a bed, a toilet, and a window with bars. The police man locked the door and left. Tom was in a cell. He was alone and scared. He looked out the window and saw the dark sky and the bright moon. He wished he could see his mom and dad.
+
+Tom heard a noise. He turned around and saw a mouse. The mouse had big ears and a long tail. It looked at Tom and squeaked. Tom was afraid of the mouse. He jumped on the bed and hugged his knees. He hoped the mouse would go away.
+
+The mouse did not go away. It came closer to the bed and sniffed. It smelled something good. It climbed on the bed and found a cookie in Tom's pocket. It took the cookie and nibbled on it. It looked at Tom and squeaked again. It wanted to share the cookie with Tom.
+
+Tom saw the mouse eating the cookie. He felt hungry and sad. He remembered his mom and dad. They always gave him cookies and hugs. They loved him and wanted him to be good. He felt sorry for being bad. He sighed and reached out his hand. He broke a piece of the cookie and gave it to the mouse. The mouse took the piece and ate it. It rubbed its nose on Tom's hand and smiled. It was not scary. It was friendly.
+
+Tom smiled back and petted the mouse. He felt less scared and less alone. He made a new friend. He learned that being nice was better than being bad. He hoped the police man would come soon and take him home. He wanted to say sorry to his mom and dad. He wanted to be a good boy.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom with the laundry. She would carry the dirty clothes to the washer, put in the soap, and press the buttons. She felt very proud of herself.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to surprise her mom by doing the laundry by herself. She gathered all the clothes she could find and stuffed them into the washer. She added a lot of soap and turned the knob. She heard a click and saw a light that said "lock". She thought that meant the washer was working.
+
+She ran to the living room to tell her mom the good news. But when she got there, she saw her mom looking very worried. She asked Lily where her baby brother was. Lily said she didn't know. She thought he was playing in his room.
+
+They searched the whole house, but they couldn't find him. Lily felt very confused and scared. She wondered if he had gone outside or if someone had taken him. She started to cry.
+
+Then they heard a loud noise from the laundry room. They ran there and saw the washer shaking and making bubbles. They also heard a muffled cry. Lily's mom realized what had happened. She quickly opened the washer and took out her baby brother. He was wet and soapy and very unhappy. He had been hiding in the clothes and Lily had locked him in the washer.
+
+Lily's mom hugged her baby brother and checked if he was okay. She was very angry and sad. She told Lily that she had done a very bad thing. She said that she should never do the laundry by herself, and that she should always watch her baby brother. She said that the washer was not a toy, and that it could hurt him very badly.
+
+Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. She apologized to her mom and her baby brother. She said that she only wanted to help and to make her mom happy. She said that she loved them very much.
+
+Her mom forgave her and hugged her. She said that she loved her too, and that she appreciated her help. But she also said that she had to be more careful and responsible. She said that the laundry was not a game, and that she had to follow the rules. She said that the lock was there to protect them, not to trap them.
+
+Lily learned her lesson. She never did the laundry by herself again. She always asked her mom for permission and guidance. She also always kept an eye on her baby brother. She wanted to be a good helper and a good sister. She knew that was the best way to make her mom happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big balloon man who had many colors of balloons. He said, "Hello, kids! Do you want a balloon? They are very cheap, only one coin each."
+
+Tom and Lily wanted a balloon, but they only had one coin together. They looked at each other and said, "We can share a balloon. What color do you like?"
+
+Tom liked red and Lily liked blue, but they saw a purple balloon that was both red and blue. They said, "We like the purple one. Can we have it, please?"
+
+The balloon man smiled and gave them the purple balloon. He said, "Here you go, kids. Enjoy your balloon. But be careful, don't let it fly away. It will be gone forever."
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the balloon man and tied the balloon to their wrist. They played with the balloon in the park, bouncing it, throwing it, and catching it. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, a strong wind came and blew the balloon away. Tom and Lily tried to hold on, but the string broke. They watched the balloon fly higher and higher, until it was a tiny dot in the sky.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad and cried. They said, "We lost our balloon. We liked our balloon. It was our favorite."
+
+The balloon man saw them and felt sorry. He said, "Don't cry, kids. It's okay. You still have your memory. You can remember the balloon and how much fun you had with it. That will stay with you forever."
+
+Tom and Lily wiped their tears and nodded. They said, "You're right. We still have our memory. We can remember the purple balloon. It was very cheap, but very nice. Thank you, balloon man."
+
+The balloon man hugged them and said, "You're welcome, kids. You're very sweet. Have a nice day."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and waved goodbye. They walked home, holding hands, and talking about their balloon. They knew they would never forget it. It was their special memory.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, planes, and animals. They were having fun and laughing.
+
+Suddenly, they felt the floor shake. They heard a loud noise and saw things fall from the shelves. They were scared and did not know what was happening. They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, mom, what is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"It's an earthquake, honey. It's when the ground moves and makes a large noise. Don't worry, we are safe here. Come, let's sit under the table and hold hands," mom said.
+
+She hugged them and told them to be calm. She said the earthquake would stop soon and everything would be okay. She said she cared for them very much and they were brave.
+
+Tom and Lily felt better. They trusted their mom and knew she would protect them. They held hands and waited for the earthquake to end. They hoped their toys were not broken. They hoped their friends were safe too. They were glad they had each other and their mom.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a top. Ben likes to spin his top and watch it go round and round. Anna thinks the top is boring and wants to play with her doll.
+
+"Ben, can I play with your top?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, this is my top. You have your doll," Ben says.
+
+"But your top is more interesting than my doll. It can spin and make noise. My doll can only sit and smile," Anna says.
+
+"That's not true. Your doll can do many things. You can dress her, comb her hair, and pretend she is your friend. My top can only spin," Ben says.
+
+Anna is not convinced. She tries to grab the top from Ben's hand. Ben pulls it back and they start to fight. They both complain and cry.
+
+"Stop it, both of you!" their mom says. She comes into the living room and sees the mess. "Why are you fighting over a toy? You have so many toys to share and play with. You should be nice to each other and take turns."
+
+Anna and Ben feel ashamed. They say sorry to each other and hug. Their mom smiles and gives them a cookie. She tells them to play nicely and to use their imagination. Anna and Ben agree. They decide to play together with the doll and the top. They pretend the doll is a princess and the top is a magic wand. They have fun and forget to complain.
+Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But Tom and Lily wanted to see the kangaroos most of all. They liked how they jumped and had big pockets.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the kangaroos now?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, we can. Follow me," mom said.
+
+They walked to the kangaroo area. There were many kangaroos, some big and some small. Some were eating grass, some were sleeping, and some were hopping around. Tom and Lily were very happy. They wanted to get closer to the kangaroos.
+
+"Mom, can we touch them?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you can't. They might get scared or hurt you. You have to stay behind the fence," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They watched the kangaroos from a safe distance. They saw one kangaroo that was different from the others. It had a bandage on its leg. It looked sad and lonely.
+
+"Mom, what happened to that kangaroo?" Tom asked.
+
+"That kangaroo was hurt by a bad dog. The zoo people helped it and gave it medicine. It is getting better, but it needs some time to heal," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry for the kangaroo. They wished they could make it feel better. They saw another kangaroo come near the hurt one. It was a baby kangaroo. It came out of its mom's pocket and hopped to the hurt kangaroo. It licked its face and snuggled with it. The hurt kangaroo smiled and hugged the baby kangaroo.
+
+"Look, mom, look! The baby kangaroo is showing love to the hurt kangaroo!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is. That is very kind and brave of the baby kangaroo. It is not afraid of the bandage. It is making a new friend," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled too. They learned something new. They learned that kangaroos can show love and be brave. They wanted to be like the baby kangaroo. They hugged each other and their mom. They said thank you to the kangaroos and waved goodbye. They had a great day at the zoo.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play pirates. They have a big box with old clothes and toys. They dress up as pirates and pretend to sail on a ship.
+
+One day, they find a shiny coin in the box. It is gold. Sara says, "Look, Ben, we found treasure! We are rich pirates!"
+
+Ben says, "Wow, it is so pretty! Can I hold it?"
+
+Sara says, "No, it is mine. I saw it first. You have to pay me if you want it."
+
+Ben says, "Pay you? How? I have no money."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "You have to pay me with something else. Something I like."
+
+Ben looks around the box. He sees a long scarf. It is red and soft. Sara likes red. He says, "How about this scarf? It is long and red. You can wear it as a pirate captain."
+
+Sara smiles. She says, "OK, that is a good deal. You can have the gold coin. But you have to be my first mate. And you have to do what I say."
+
+Ben agrees. He gives Sara the scarf and takes the coin. They put on their pirate hats and swords. They say, "Arrr!" and laugh. They are happy pirates. They play until it is time for lunch.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily has a silver car that she likes to zoom around the floor. Ben has a red truck that he likes to fill with blocks and dump them out.
+
+"Look at my car, Ben!" Lily says. "It is shiny and fast. It can go close to the sofa and then far away."
+
+"Wow, that is a nice car, Lily!" Ben says. "But my truck is bigger and stronger. It can carry a lot of things and make loud sounds. Honk, honk!"
+
+They laugh and play some more, until they hear their mom calling them.
+
+"Kids, it is time to clean up!" Mom says. "Please put your toys back in the box and make the living room tidy."
+
+Lily and Ben stop playing and look at the mess they have made. There are toys everywhere, on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They feel a little sad to stop playing, but they know they have to listen to their mom.
+
+"OK, Mom, we will clean up," Lily says.
+
+"Me too, Mom, we will clean up," Ben says.
+
+They start to pick up their toys and put them in the box. Lily finds her silver car and gives it a hug. Ben finds his red truck and makes one last honk. They work together and soon the living room is tidy again.
+
+"Good job, kids, you are very helpful!" Mom says. "Now you can have a snack and read a story with me."
+
+Lily and Ben smile and run to their mom. They are happy to have a snack and a story, and they are proud to have a tidy living room. They love their toys, but they love their mom more.
+Sara and Ben liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made a small igloo with snow blocks. They wanted to go inside the igloo and pretend they were Eskimos.
+
+But their mom said, "No, you can't go in the igloo. It is too cold and wet. You will get sick. You have to mind me and stay out of the igloo. Come inside and have some hot cocoa."
+
+Sara and Ben were sad. They wanted to see the igloo. They thought it was fun and cozy. They did not mind their mom. They waited until she went to the kitchen. Then they ran to the igloo and crawled inside.
+
+They were happy for a little while. They looked at the snow walls and the small hole for the door. They made some noises like Eskimos. They laughed and hugged.
+
+But soon they felt very cold. Their feet and hands were numb. Their noses were red. Their teeth were chattering. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wanted to go back to the warm house and have some hot cocoa.
+
+They crawled out of the igloo and ran to the door. But the door was locked. Their mom had gone to the store and taken the key. She did not know they were in the igloo. She thought they were inside.
+
+Sara and Ben were scared. They knocked on the door and shouted for help. But no one heard them. They hugged each other and cried. They hoped their mom would come back soon. They learned their lesson. They should always mind their mom.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room when they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big, dark cloud that was spinning very fast. It was a tornado!
+
+"Mommy, what is that?" Lily asked, feeling scared.
+
+"That is a tornado, sweetie. It is very dangerous. We have to go to the basement right now," Mommy said, grabbing their hands and running to the door.
+
+"But what about our toys?" Ben said, looking back at his truck and his bear.
+
+"We can't take them, honey. We have to escape. The tornado can break them and hurt us," Mommy said, opening the door and leading them down the stairs.
+
+They reached the basement and closed the door behind them. They heard the tornado roaring and shaking the house. They hugged each other and prayed for it to go away.
+
+After a while, the noise stopped and everything was quiet. Mommy opened the door and peeked outside. The tornado was gone, but it had left a mess. The trees were broken, the fence was torn, and the roof was missing. Some of their toys were scattered on the lawn.
+
+"Oh no, look at our house!" Lily said, feeling upset.
+
+"And our toys!" Ben said, feeling upset too.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves. The tornado did a lot of damage. But we are safe, and that is what matters. We can fix the house and get new toys. We still have each other," Mommy said, hugging them and kissing their heads.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and hugged her back. They were glad they had escaped the tornado, but they were sad for their house and their toys. They hoped they would never see a tornado again.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to whistle. They whistled all the time, in the morning, at lunch, and before bed. They whistled songs, tunes, and noises. They whistled so much that their mom and dad sometimes asked them to stop.
+
+One day, mom and dad told them they were going on a holiday to the beach. Lily and Ben were very happy. They packed their bags, their toys, and their whistles. They wanted to whistle at the sea, the sand, and the sun.
+
+When they got to the beach, they saw a big sign that said "Whistling Contest". It was a game where people had to whistle the best they could and win a prize. Lily and Ben wanted to play. They were very competitive. They always tried to whistle better than each other.
+
+They ran to the sign and asked a man how to join. The man smiled and said, "You have to whistle a song that everyone knows. The one who whistles the loudest and the longest wins. Are you ready?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They each picked a song they knew. Lily picked "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Ben picked "Old MacDonald Had a Farm". They took a deep breath and started to whistle.
+
+They whistled and whistled and whistled. They whistled so loud and so long that everyone at the beach stopped and listened. They whistled so loud and so long that the birds flew away. They whistled so loud and so long that the waves got quiet.
+
+They whistled and whistled and whistled until they ran out of air. They looked at each other and smiled. They had whistled the best they could. They waited for the man to tell them who won.
+
+But the man was not there. He had left. He had taken the prize with him. He had tricked them. He had made them whistle for nothing.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad. They had wasted their whistles. They had lost their game. They had no prize.
+
+They hugged each other and said, "We're sorry. We should not have been so competitive. We should have whistled for fun. We should have whistled together."
+
+They decided to whistle a new song. A song they both liked. A song they both knew. A song about being happy. They whistled "If You're Happy and You Know It". They whistled and clapped and stomped. They whistled and laughed and sang.
+
+They whistled and whistled and whistled. They whistled so loud and so long that everyone at the beach joined them. They whistled so loud and so long that the birds came back. They whistled so loud and so long that the waves got louder.
+
+They whistled and whistled and whistled until they were happy. They had whistled the best they could. They had won their game. They had their prize.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Ben was scared. He said, "The slide is too high and too fast. I don't want to go."
+
+Lily said, "Don't be scared, Ben. I will go first and show you how to do it. It is easy and fun. You just have to try." She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She smiled at Ben and said, "Watch me!" Then she slid down the slide, holding her arms out like a bird. She was very graceful and landed softly on the ground. She laughed and said, "See? That was fun!"
+
+Ben watched Lily and felt a little bit brave. He said, "Maybe I can try too." He climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. He looked down and felt a little bit scared. He said, "Maybe I can't do it." He wanted to go back down the ladder, but there were other kids behind him who wanted to go on the slide. They said, "Hurry up, Ben. Don't be a baby. Go on the slide."
+
+Ben felt very scared and very sad. He wished Lily was with him. He closed his eyes and said, "I can do it. I can do it." He pushed himself off the slide and slid down. He was not very graceful and landed hard on the ground. He cried and said, "Ow! That hurt!"
+
+Lily ran to Ben and hugged him. She said, "You did it, Ben. You tried. I am proud of you. Are you okay?" Ben nodded and said, "I am okay. But I don't like the slide. It is too high and too fast. I like the swings better." Lily said, "That's okay, Ben. We can go on the swings. They are fun too." They walked to the swings and played together. They were happy and they were friends.
+Lily loves to play dress-up with her big sister, Mia. Mia has many costumes in her closet. She has a fairy costume, a pirate costume, a princess costume, and more. Lily likes the fairy costume the best. It is pink and sparkly, and it has wings.
+
+One day, Lily and Mia are playing dress-up in their room. Lily puts on the fairy costume and Mia puts on the pirate costume. They pretend to fly and sail around the room. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise from downstairs. It is their dog, Max. He is barking and growling at something. Lily and Mia are scared. They wonder what is making Max so angry.
+
+They run downstairs to see what is happening. They see Max in the living room, facing the window. He is protecting them from a big, black bird. The bird is trying to get inside the house. It is pecking at the glass and flapping its wings.
+
+"Go away, bird!" Mia shouts. "You can't come in here!"
+
+Lily feels brave in her fairy costume. She thinks she can help Max. She runs to the window and waves her wand. She says, "Shoo, shoo, bird! You are not welcome here!"
+
+The bird sees Lily and her pink costume. It thinks she is a flower. It likes flowers. It stops pecking and flapping. It tilts its head and chirps.
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "See, bird? We are not enemies. We are friends. You can have some flowers from our garden. But you can't come in our house. That is our rule."
+
+The bird nods. It flies away from the window and lands on a rose bush. It picks a flower and sings.
+
+Lily and Mia hug Max. They say, "Thank you, Max. You are a good dog. You protected us from the bird."
+
+Max wags his tail. He is happy. He likes Lily and Mia. He likes their costumes. He thinks they are funny. He barks and licks their faces.
+Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have bikes. They have a race. They say, "Who can go to the big tree first?"
+
+Tom is fast. He pedals hard. He wants to win. Ben is slow. He pedals easy. He likes to look at the flowers and the birds.
+
+Tom is near the big tree. He sees Ben far behind. He laughs. He says, "I am the best! You are the worst! You are too slow!" He rings his bell loud.
+
+But then, Tom hits a rock. His bike falls. He falls. He hurts his knee. He cries. He says, "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
+
+Ben hears Tom. He stops. He goes back. He sees Tom on the ground. He says, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" He gives Tom his hand. He helps Tom up. He says, "It is not nice to laugh at others. It is not nice to ring your bell loud. It is not a good race. It is a bad race."
+
+Tom feels sorry. He says, "You are right. I am sorry. I was mean. You are a good friend. You are kind. You are a good racer. It is not easy to be slow. It is hard. It is a good race. It is a fun race."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "It is okay. I forgive you. We are still friends. We can play together. We can race again. But this time, we can race for fun. Not for win. We can ring our bells soft. We can enjoy the park. We can be happy."
+
+Tom and Ben hug. They get on their bikes. They race to the big tree. They ring their bells soft. They laugh. They have fun. They are happy. They learn a lesson. They learn to be nice. They learn to be fair. They learn to be friends.
+Ben and Mia liked to paint. They had many colors and brushes. They painted on paper, on cardboard, on rocks, and sometimes on the wall. Mommy and Daddy did not like when they painted on the wall. They said it was messy and naughty.
+
+One day, Ben and Mia found a new place to paint. It was the fireplace. The fireplace was big and gray and cold. They thought it would look nice with some colors. They took their paints and brushes and went to the fireplace. They did not tell Mommy and Daddy. They were careless.
+
+They painted the fireplace with red and yellow and orange. They said it looked like fire. They painted the fireplace with blue and green and purple. They said it looked like a rainbow. They painted the fireplace with black and white and brown. They said it looked like a cow. They had fun painting the fireplace. They did not see Mommy and Daddy coming.
+
+Mommy and Daddy saw the fireplace. They were very angry. They said, "What have you done? You have ruined the fireplace! You have made a big mess! You have been very careless!" They took away the paints and brushes. They made Ben and Mia clean the fireplace. They said they could not paint for a long time.
+
+Ben and Mia were very sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mommy and Daddy. We just wanted to make the fireplace pretty. We did not mean to be careless." Mommy and Daddy said, "We know you like to paint, but you have to be careful and respectful. You have to ask before you paint on something. You have to use the right place and the right things to paint. You have to clean up after you paint." Ben and Mia said, "We understand, Mommy and Daddy. We will be careful and respectful. We will ask before we paint. We will use the right place and the right things to paint. We will clean up after we paint." Mommy and Daddy said, "We love you, Ben and Mia. We are glad you are creative and curious. But you have to be responsible and polite. You have to learn from your mistakes." Ben and Mia said, "We love you, Mommy and Daddy. We are sorry for our mistakes. We will learn from them." They hugged and kissed. They finished cleaning the fireplace. They hoped it would look gray and cold again.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big rocket that they made from a cardboard box and some paint. They liked to pretend they were going to the moon and the stars.
+
+"Let's split the rocket in two," Tom said. "Then we can have two rockets and go to different places."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But how do we split it?"
+
+Tom found a big stick and tried to cut the rocket with it. But the stick was not sharp enough and only made a small hole in the box.
+
+"That's not working," Lily said. "Let's ask Dad for help."
+
+They ran to the house and found Dad in the kitchen. He was making a cake for Mom's birthday. It smelled sweet and yummy.
+
+"Dad, can you help us split our rocket?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, what do you need?" Dad asked.
+
+"We need something to cut the box with," Lily said.
+
+Dad looked around and saw a pair of scissors on the counter. He gave them to Tom and Lily and told them to be careful.
+
+"Thank you, Dad," they said and ran back to the garden.
+
+They used the scissors to cut the box along the middle. It was hard work, but they managed to split the rocket in two.
+
+"Yay, we did it!" Tom said.
+
+"Now we have two rockets," Lily said. "I'll go to the moon and you go to the stars."
+
+They climbed into their rockets and pretended to blast off. They had a lot of fun imagining what they would see and do in space.
+
+They were so busy playing that they didn't hear Mom calling them for lunch. She came to the garden and saw their rockets.
+
+"Wow, what a great idea," she said. "You two are very clever."
+
+She smiled and hugged them. Then she said, "Come on, let's go inside and have some cake. It's very sweet and delicious."
+
+Tom and Lily were happy. They loved their rockets and their cake. They had a wonderful day.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms, or beetles, or snails. They put them in a jar and gave them names.
+
+One day, they found a mysterious bug. It was big and green and had six legs and two wings. They had never seen a bug like that before. They put it in the jar and called it Fred.
+
+"Wow, Fred is so cool!" Ben said. "He can fly and crawl and make noises. I want to keep him as a pet."
+
+"No, Ben, we can't keep him," Anna said. "He belongs in the garden. He might be sad in the jar. We have to let him go."
+
+Ben did not want to let Fred go. He liked Fred too much. He held the jar tight and ran away from Anna. Anna chased him and tried to get the jar back.
+
+"Give me the jar, Ben!" Anna shouted. "You are being mean to Fred!"
+
+"No, he is mine!" Ben shouted back. "He is my friend!"
+
+They ran and ran until they reached the house. Ben tried to open the door, but it was shut. He kicked the door with his foot, but it hurt his toe. He dropped the jar and cried.
+
+Anna picked up the jar and saw that Fred was still inside. She opened the lid and let Fred fly away. She felt sorry for Ben and his toe. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I know you liked Fred, but he is happier in the garden. Maybe we can find another bug to play with tomorrow."
+
+Ben sniffed and nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, too, Anna. You were right. Fred is not a pet. He is a wild bug. I hope he is okay."
+
+They went inside and asked their mom for a band-aid for Ben's toe. They learned their lesson and never tried to keep a bug in a jar again.
+Lily and Max were playing in the yard. They had a ball, a truck and a doll. They liked to share their toys and have fun.
+
+But then a big dog came into the yard. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked and ran towards them. Lily and Max were scared. They dropped their toys and ran to the door.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried. "There is a big dog in the yard!"
+
+Mom heard them and came out. She saw the big dog and grabbed a broom. She waved the broom at the dog and shouted, "Go away! Go away! This is not your yard!"
+
+The dog was afraid of the broom and the mom. It turned around and ran away. It jumped over the fence and disappeared.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and Max and brought them inside. She gave them some cookies and milk. She said, "You are safe now. That was a terrible dog. It should not come into our yard."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They were glad that mom was there. They asked, "Mom, why did the dog come into our yard? Did it want our toys?"
+
+Mom shook her head. She said, "I don't know, sweeties. Maybe it was lost or hungry or mean. Some dogs are nice and some dogs are not."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They did not understand. They shrugged. They said, "We don't like that dog. We like our toys and our yard and our mom."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "I like you too, my darlings. Now, do you want to play some more in the yard or inside?"
+
+Lily and Max thought for a moment. They said, "Inside, please. We don't want to see that dog again."
+
+Mom nodded. She said, "Okay, then. Let's play inside. Maybe we can read a book or draw a picture or sing a song."
+
+Lily and Max agreed. They followed mom inside. They picked up their toys and their cookies and their milk. They were happy and safe. They forgot about the terrible dog.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy boats. They pretend they are sailors and go to different ports. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has many old things inside.
+
+"Look, Sam, there are more boats here!" Ben says. He takes out a wooden boat with a sail. It has a sticker that says "Made in China".
+
+"Wow, that's a nice boat, Ben. Can I play with it?" Sam asks.
+
+"No, it's mine. I found it first. You can have this one." Ben gives Sam a plastic boat with a motor. It has a sticker that says "Made in USA".
+
+"But I like the sail boat better. It's more fun. Please, Ben, can we share?" Sam begs.
+
+"No, Sam, go away. This is my boat. I'm going to sell it and make a lot of money." Ben says. He is greedy and mean.
+
+Sam is sad and angry. He thinks Ben is crazy. He does not want to play with him anymore. He takes his boat and goes to the backyard. He finds a big puddle of water. He puts his boat in the water and turns on the motor. The boat makes a loud noise and splashes water everywhere.
+
+"Yay, this is fun!" Sam says. He laughs and smiles. He pretends he is going to a far away port. He does not care about Ben and his sail boat. He is happy with his own boat. He is kind and smart.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It was a pit. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," Ben said. He ran towards the pit.
+
+"Wait, Ben!" Lily said. "It might be dangerous. I recommend we stay away."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He jumped into the pit. He landed on something soft and yellow. It was a pile of hay. He laughed and said, "This is fun! Come and join me, Lily!"
+
+Lily was curious, but she was also scared. She walked slowly to the edge of the pit. She looked down and saw Ben. He was smiling and waving at her. She also saw something else. It was a big snake. It was yellow and black. It was hiding under the hay. It was looking at Ben.
+
+"Ben, watch out!" Lily shouted. "There is a snake in the pit!"
+
+Ben heard Lily and turned around. He saw the snake and screamed. He tried to climb out of the pit, but it was too high. He was stuck.
+
+Lily ran to get help. She found a grown-up who had a rope. He threw the rope to Ben and pulled him out of the pit. Ben was safe, but he was very scared. He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You saved me. You were right. I should have listened to you. I'm sorry I was silly."
+
+Lily forgave Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you're okay. Next time, let's be careful and not go into strange places."
+
+The grown-up said, "You are both brave and smart. But remember, kids, never jump into a pit. You never know what might be inside. It could be dangerous or dirty or both. Always ask a grown-up before you explore something new."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We will, we will."
+
+They learned their lesson and never jumped into a pit again.
+
+The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends' advice and be careful of unknown places.
+Tom is a big dog who likes to run and play. He has a lot of fur that keeps him warm. But one day, he feels something bite him on his back. He tries to scratch it, but it is too small and fast. It is a flea, a tiny bug that lives on animals and makes them itch.
+
+Tom runs to his friend Sam, a small cat who likes to nap and purr. He asks Sam for help. "Sam, Sam, can you see what is on my back? It hurts and itches a lot."
+
+Sam opens one eye and looks at Tom. He sees the flea jumping on Tom's fur. He says, "Tom, you have a flea. It is a bad bug that likes to drink your blood. You need to get rid of it."
+
+Tom is scared and angry. He says, "How can I get rid of it? It is too small and fast for me to catch."
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He says, "I have an idea. Follow me to the pond. The pond is very cold and icy. If you jump in the pond, the flea will not like it and will leave you alone."
+
+Tom is not sure about Sam's idea. He says, "But the pond is very cold and icy. I do not like cold and icy things. They make me shiver and sneeze."
+
+Sam says, "Trust me, Tom. It is better to be cold and icy for a little while than to have a flea for a long time. Come on, let's go."
+
+Tom decides to trust Sam. He follows him to the pond. He sees the water sparkling and freezing. He feels nervous and brave. He says, "Okay, Sam. I will do it. But you have to do it with me. We are friends, right?"
+
+Sam says, "Of course, Tom. We are friends. I will do it with you. Ready, set, go!"
+
+Tom and Sam jump in the pond together. They feel the water splash and shock them. They feel very cold and icy. They also feel the flea leave them. They swim to the shore and shake their fur. They feel warm and happy. They hug each other and say, "Thank you, friend. You helped me get rid of the flea. You are a good friend."
+
+Sam says, "You are welcome, friend. You trusted me and followed my idea. You are a brave friend."
+
+Tom and Sam learn that sometimes they have to do things that are hard or scary to solve their problems. They also learn that friends help each other and stick together. They are glad they have each other. They run and play and nap and purr. They do not feel any more fleas. They feel good.
+Lila and her mom went to the mall. Lila liked the mall. It had many things to see and do. She saw a big toy store, a colorful candy shop, and a shiny fountain. She wanted to go to all of them.
+
+But her mom said they had to go to the clothes store first. Lila did not like the clothes store. It was boring and had no toys or candy. She had to try on many clothes that her mom picked for her. She did not like any of them. They were too tight, too scratchy, or too ugly.
+
+She saw a window in the clothes store. She saw the sky outside. It was blue and sunny. She saw a bird outside. It was white and had big wings. It flew high in the air. It looked happy and free. Lila wanted to be like the bird. She wanted to soar in the sky.
+
+She ran to the window. She opened it. She climbed on the sill. She spread her arms. She jumped. She thought she would soar like the bird.
+
+But she did not soar. She fell. She screamed. She was scared. She hurt.
+
+Her mom saw her. She was shocked. She ran to the window. She yelled for help. She was sad. She loved Lila.
+
+Some people saw Lila. They were in the mall. They heard her scream. They saw her fall. They ran to her. They caught her. They saved her.
+
+They put her on a soft blanket. They checked her. She was not badly hurt. She had some bruises and scratches. She was lucky. They gave her some ice and a band-aid. They hugged her. They were kind. They told her not to do that again.
+
+Lila cried. She was sorry. She was silly. She did not know how to soar. She learned her lesson. She hugged her mom. She said she loved her. She said she was sorry.
+
+Her mom cried too. She was relieved. She was grateful. She forgave Lila. She hugged her back. She said she loved her too. She said it was okay.
+
+They went home. They did not go to the toy store, the candy shop, or the fountain. They did not need them. They had each other. They were happy.
+Sara was a chubby girl who loved jelly. She ate jelly for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She liked all kinds of jelly: red, green, yellow, blue. She had a big jar of jelly in her room and she did not like to share.
+
+One day, her friend Ben came to play with her. He saw the jar of jelly and asked, "Can I have some jelly, Sara? I am hungry."
+
+Sara ignored him. She did not want to give him any jelly. She said, "No, this is my jelly. Go away."
+
+Ben felt sad. He said, "But Sara, we are friends. Friends share. Don't you want to play with me?"
+
+Sara ignored him again. She said, "No, I want to play with my jelly. It is more fun than you."
+
+Ben was angry. He said, "Fine, then I will play with someone else. Someone who is nice and generous. You are mean and selfish, Sara."
+
+He left her room and went to find another friend. Sara did not care. She hugged her jar of jelly and smiled.
+
+But soon, she felt lonely. She looked around and saw no one. She wanted to play with Ben, but he was gone. She wanted to say sorry, but it was too late. She realized that jelly was not more fun than a friend. She wished she had shared her jelly with Ben. She cried and cried. She learned a hard lesson that day.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs. They have colorful hats and gloves to keep warm.
+
+One day, they see a small bird on a tree. The bird is cold and hungry. It has no food and no nest. Anna and Ben feel sorry for the bird.
+
+"Can we help the bird?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, we can. We can protect the bird. We can give it some bread and water. We can make a nest for it with some sticks and leaves." Ben says.
+
+They go to their house and get some bread and water. They break the bread into small pieces and put them in a bowl. They fill another bowl with water. They carry the bowls to the tree.
+
+They also find some sticks and leaves. They make a nest for the bird on a branch. They put some of their colorful wool inside the nest to make it cozy.
+
+They put the bowls near the nest. They call the bird softly. The bird sees the food and water. It flies down and eats and drinks. It chirps happily. It flies up and goes inside the nest. It snuggles in the wool. It feels warm and safe.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They are happy to help the bird. They say goodbye to the bird and go back to their house.
+
+They tell their mom what they did. Their mom hugs them and says, "You are very kind and generous. You protected the bird from the cold and hunger. You made the bird happy. You are good friends to the bird and to each other. I am proud of you."
+
+The moral value of the story is: We should help and protect those who are in need. We should share what we have with others. We should be kind and generous to all living things.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. They wonder what is inside.
+
+Tom says, "Let's open the box. Maybe there is something fun." Lily says, "No, Tom. The box might be dangerous. Maybe there is something bad or scary inside. We should not touch it."
+
+Tom does not listen to Lily. He runs to the box and tries to open it. He pulls and pulls, but the box is too heavy. He says, "Help me, Lily. I want to see what is inside."
+
+Lily is scared. She does not want to go near the box. She says, "Tom, stop. Come back. The box is not for us. Maybe it belongs to someone else. Maybe they will be angry if we open it."
+
+But Tom does not stop. He pulls harder and harder. Suddenly, the box opens. Out comes a big, loud, angry dog. It barks and growls at Tom. It shows its sharp teeth. It wants to bite Tom.
+
+Tom is very scared. He screams and runs away. The dog chases him. Lily sees what happens. She runs to the slide and climbs up. She offers her hand to Tom. She says, "Tom, come here. Quick. Climb up the slide. The dog cannot get us here."
+
+Tom sees Lily's hand. He runs to the slide and grabs her hand. He climbs up the slide. He hugs Lily. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You saved me. You are a good friend. I am sorry I did not listen to you. You were right. The box was dangerous. I will never open a strange box again."
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many automobiles of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. They also had a big bottle of juice that their mom gave them to share.
+
+"Can I have some juice, please?" Lily asked Max, who was holding the bottle.
+
+"Okay, but only a little," Max said. He opened the bottle and tried to pour some juice into Lily's cup. But he poured too much and the juice spilled over the cup and onto the carpet. It made a big, messy stain.
+
+"Uh-oh," Max said. "Mom is going to be mad."
+
+Lily started to cry. "You are a bad brother! You made a mess!"
+
+Max felt sorry. He tried to wipe the stain with a napkin, but it only made it worse. He wished he had been more careful.
+
+Just then, their mom came into the living room. She saw the stain and the bottle and the napkin. She was very angry.
+
+"What did you do?" she shouted. "You ruined the carpet! And you wasted the juice! And you made your sister cry! You are both in big trouble!"
+
+She took away their automobiles and their juice and sent them to their rooms. She said they could not play with their toys or watch TV for a week. She said they had to help her clean the carpet and pay for the juice.
+
+Lily and Max felt very sad. They wished they had not played with the juice. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had been nicer to each other. They learned a hard lesson.
+Anna and Ben are sister and brother. They like to play in the park. They see a big rock. Ben wants to climb on the rock. He says, "Look, Anna, I can go up the rock. I am strong and brave."
+
+Anna says, "Be careful, Ben. The rock is high and hard. You can fall and hurt yourself. I am smart and safe. I stay on the ground and watch you."
+
+Ben climbs on the rock. He feels happy and proud. He says, "I am on the rock. I can see everything. I am the king of the rock."
+
+Anna says, "Good for you, Ben. But it is time to go home. Mom and Dad are waiting for us. Come down from the rock."
+
+Ben says, "OK, Anna. I will come down. But first, I want to jump from the rock. It will be fun and cool."
+
+Anna says, "No, Ben. Don't jump from the rock. It is too far and dangerous. You can break your leg or your arm. You are not a bird or a frog. You are a boy. You need to be careful."
+
+Ben says, "But I want to jump. I can do it. I am not afraid."
+
+Anna says, "Please, Ben. Listen to me. I am your sister. I love you. I don't want you to get hurt. Come down slowly and gently. I will help you."
+
+Ben looks at Anna. He sees that she is worried and kind. He says, "OK, Anna. You are right. You are smart and sweet. I will come down. I love you too."
+
+Ben comes down from the rock. He holds Anna's hand. They walk to their mom and dad. They hug and kiss them. They tell them about their adventure. Mom and Dad are happy and proud. They say, "You are both wonderful. You are strong and brave, Ben. You are smart and safe, Anna. You are the best sister and brother ever."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was brown and round and had white spots on it.
+
+"Look, a mushroom!" Anna said. "Can we pick it?"
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, it is delicate. If we touch it, it might break. Mushrooms are not for picking. They are for looking."
+
+Anna nodded. She wanted to look at the mushroom, but she also wanted to touch it. It looked so soft and smooth. She reached out her hand slowly.
+
+"Anna, no!" Ben said. "Don't touch it!"
+
+But it was too late. Anna touched the mushroom and it wobbled. Then she pushed it a little bit and it snapped. The mushroom fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
+
+Anna gasped. She felt bad. She had broken the mushroom. She looked at Ben. He looked sad and angry.
+
+"Anna, why did you do that?" Ben said. "You ruined the mushroom. It was so pretty and now it is gone."
+
+Anna felt tears in her eyes. She was sorry. She didn't mean to break the mushroom. She wanted to make Ben happy again.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "I was curious. I wanted to feel the mushroom. I didn't know it would break so easily. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Ben sighed. He was still sad, but he was not mad at Anna. He knew she was curious too. He knew she didn't do it on purpose. He hugged Anna and wiped her tears.
+
+"It's okay, Anna," Ben said. "I forgive you. You are my sister and I love you. But next time, please don't touch the mushrooms. They are delicate and they need to stay in the ground."
+
+Anna nodded. She hugged Ben back and said, "I love you too, Ben. And I won't touch the mushrooms again. I promise."
+
+They smiled at each other and went back to playing in the garden. They saw more mushrooms, but they only looked at them. They didn't touch them. They learned to respect the delicate mushrooms.

+
+One day, Mia is sick. She has a fever and a sore throat. She cannot go to dance class. She stays at home with her mom. She feels sad and bored. She misses Miss Rose and her dance friends.
