They pretend they are racing drivers and make loud noises. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom! I am the fastest car in the world!" Ben says. + +"No, you are not! I am the fastest car in the world!" Lily says. + +They zoom their cars faster and faster, trying to catch each other. + +Mom comes out with a bowl of grapes. She smiles and says, "Who wants a snack?" + +Lily and Ben stop zooming and run to Mom. They love grapes. They are sweet and juicy. + +"Thank you, Mom!" they say. + +They pick some grapes from the bowl. Lily likes the green ones and Ben likes the red ones. + +"Look, Mom, I have a red grape!" Ben says. + +He holds it up to show Mom. + +"That's a nice red grape, Ben. Do you know what else is red?" Mom asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He looks around the garden. + +"The flowers are red!" he says. + +"That's right, Ben. The flowers are red. And what else?" Mom asks. + +Lily joins in. She thinks of something else that is red. + +"The ball is red!" she says. + +She points to the ball they were playing with earlier. + +"Good job, Lily. The ball is red. And what else?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They try to think of something else that is red. + +They see something zooming in the sky. It is shiny and fast. + +"The plane is red!" they say together. + +They point to the plane that is flying over their heads. + +"Wow, you are right! The plane is red. You are very smart, Lily and Ben.

It looked like a good place to sit. + +"Let's go sit on the log," Ben said. "It will be fun." + +"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said there are alligators in the pond." + +They walked to the edge of the pond. They saw the log was very long and brown. They stepped on it. It felt hard and rough. + +"Look, we are on the log," Ben said. "We can see everything from here." + +"Yes, we can," Lily said. "But don't move too much. The log might tip over." + +They sat on the log and looked around. They saw the fish and the frogs. They saw the birds and the flowers. They saw the sun and the clouds. + +They did not see the eyes and the teeth. + +The log was not a log. It was an alligator. It was waiting for the right moment to attack. + +The alligator opened its mouth. It snapped at Ben and Lily. They screamed. They tried to run. But it was too late. + +The alligator caught them in its jaws. It shook them and dragged them into the water. It was hungry and happy. + +It made a loud noise. It sounded like a bow. + +The end. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to bake with Lily's mom. Today, they are making cookies. Lily's mom gives them a big bowl, some flour, some butter, some eggs and some sugar. She tells them how to mix everything. + +"First, we put the butter in the bowl and make it soft," she says. "Then, we add the sugar and stir it well. Next, we break the eggs and pour them in. Last, we put the flour and make a dough." + +Lily and Tom take turns to stir the bowl. They have fun. They make the dough smooth and sticky. Then, they roll it on the table and cut out shapes. They make stars, hearts, circles and animals. They put them on a tray. + +"Now, we have to bake them in the oven," Lily's mom says. "But we have to be careful. The oven is very hot. We don't touch it. We wait for the cookies to be ready." + +Lily and Tom nod. They are excited. They want to eat the cookies. They smell so good. They go to the living room and play with Lily's toys. They are playful.

The water was shiny and sparkly in the sun. + +"Wow, look at the water!" Lily said. "It is so fancy and pretty!" + +Max nodded. He wanted to touch the water, but it was too high. He had an idea. He ran to the sandbox and got a bucket. He filled it with sand and carried it to the fountain. + +"Watch this, Lily!" he said. "I will improve the water with sand!" + +He threw the sand into the fountain. The water turned brown and dirty. The sand clogged the pipes and made the water stop. + +Lily gasped. She was not happy. She liked the water when it was fancy and pretty, not brown and dirty. + +"Max, what did you do?" she asked. "You did not improve the water, you ruined it!" + +Max looked at the fountain. He saw that Lily was right. He felt bad. He did not mean to ruin the water. He wanted to make it more fun. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I thought the sand would make the water more interesting. I did not know it would stop the water." + +Lily sighed. She was still mad, but she saw that Max was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She was his friend, after all. + +"It's okay, Max," she said. "But next time, please don't throw sand in the fountain. The water is fancy and pretty enough by itself." +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her dog, Spot. Spot was a big dog with black and white fur and a long tail. He liked to run, jump and bark with Lily in the park. + +One day, Lily and Spot were playing fetch with a ball. Lily threw the ball far and Spot ran after it. But when he came back, he was limping and whining. Lily saw that his paw was bleeding. He had stepped on a sharp rock and hurt his heel. + +"Oh no, Spot! You are hurt!" Lily said. She hugged him and tried to make him feel better. She looked around and saw a bench where a lady was sitting. The lady had a bag with some bandages and a bottle of water. + +"Excuse me, lady. Can you please help me?" Lily asked. "My dog is hurt and he needs a bandage." + +The lady smiled and nodded. She walked over to Lily and Spot and looked at his paw. She cleaned the wound with some water and wrapped a bandage around it. + +"There you go, Spot. You are a brave dog. This bandage will help your heel heal faster." The lady said. She gave him a pat and a treat. + +"Thank you, lady. You are very kind." Lily said. She gave her a hug and a smile. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend to your dog. It is important to take care of him and love him." The lady said. + +Lily and Spot thanked the lady again and went home. Lily told her mom what happened and showed her the bandage. Her mom praised her for being helpful and caring. She said that Spot would be fine soon and they could play again. + +Lily and Spot cuddled on the couch and watched a movie. They were happy and grateful. They had learned a lesson about friendship and kindness. +Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. They shared their toys and snacks and secrets. But sometimes they had fights. Sara was stubborn and wanted to do things her way. Tom was stubborn and wanted to do things his way. + +One day, they had a big fight over a red car. Sara said it was hers and Tom said it was his. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They made each other cry. They did not want to play together anymore. They turned their backs and sat in opposite corners of the room. + +Their teacher, Miss Lee, saw them and felt sad. She wanted them to be friends again. She had an idea. She took a big book and called them over. She said, "I have a story for you. It is about a prince and a princess who had a fight. Do you want to hear it?" + +Sara and Tom nodded. They liked stories. They came closer and sat on the floor. Miss Lee opened the book and began to read. She showed them the pictures of the prince and the princess. They looked like Sara and Tom. They had a fight over a crown. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They made each other cry. They did not want to play together anymore. They turned their backs and sat in opposite corners of the castle. + +Miss Lee turned the page and said, "But then, something happened. A dragon came and attacked the castle. He breathed fire and smoke and roared. He scared everyone. The prince and the princess saw the dragon and felt afraid. They realized they needed each other. They ran to each other and hugged. They said they were sorry and they loved each other. They kissed each other on the face. Then they worked together to chase the dragon away. They were happy and brave and friends again." + +Sara and Tom listened to the story and looked at the pictures. They saw the prince and the princess kiss each other on the face. They felt something in their hearts. They looked at each other and smiled. They said they were sorry and they loved each other. They kissed each other on the face. Then they played with the red car together. They were happy and brave and friends again. + +Miss Lee closed the book and smiled. She was glad they made up. She said, "That was a nice story, wasn't it? Do you know what it means to kiss someone on the face?" + +Sara and Tom nodded. They said, "It means you are friends and you care." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They had a big bucket of leaves that they had collected from the ground. They wanted to make a leaf pile and jump in it. + +"Let's scatter the leaves over there, under the tree," Lily said. "There is more shade there and it is cooler." + +"OK," Ben said. He picked up a handful of leaves and threw them in the air. They fell down like rain. Lily did the same. They laughed and ran to get more leaves. + +But then they saw a man coming towards them. He had a rake and a bag. He looked angry. He was the park keeper. He did not like it when children made a mess in the park. He liked it to be tidy and clean. + +"Hey, you two, stop that!" he shouted. "You are ruining my work. I have to rake all these leaves and put them in the bag. You are making more work for me. Go away and play somewhere else." + +Lily and Ben felt scared. They did not want to make the man more angry. They dropped their leaves and ran away. They did not say sorry. They did not have fun anymore. They wished they had not scattered the leaves. They wished they had found another place to play. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the backyard. They have a ball, a bike, and a doll. Lily likes the ball. Max likes the bike. They share the doll. + +One day, Lily wants to try the bike. She asks Max, "Can I have the bike?" Max says, "No, it is mine. You have the ball." Lily says, "But I want the bike. Please give me the bike." Max says, "No, no, no. Go away." + +Lily is sad and angry. She thinks Max is not a good friend. She takes the doll and runs away. She says, "Fine, then you can't have the doll. It is mine now." + +Max is sad and angry too. He thinks Lily is not a good friend. He wants the doll back. He chases Lily and says, "Give me the doll. Give me the doll. It is ours, not yours." + +Lily and Max run and yell. They do not have fun. They do not play. They are not happy. + +Mom hears them and comes to the backyard. She sees them fighting. She says, "Stop, stop, stop. What is going on? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Lily and Max tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "That is not good. You are friends. You should share and take turns. You should not take things from each other. You should not make each other sad and angry. You should make each other happy and glad." + +Lily and Max feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, friend." They hug and say, "We are sorry, doll." They give the doll back to each other. They share the ball and the bike. They play and laugh. They are happy and glad. + +Mom smiles and says, "That is good. You are good friends. You are good kids. I am proud of you." She gives them a kiss and a hug. She says, "I love you." +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball bounced away. They ran after it and laughed. + +One time, Tom threw the ball too hard and it flew over the fence. It landed on the roof of the neighbor's house. Lily and Tom gasped. They could not reach the ball. They felt helpless. + +They knocked on the neighbor's door, but no one answered. They looked around, but they did not see a ladder or a stick. They did not know what to do. + +"Maybe we can ask Dad for help," Lily said. + +"But Dad is at work," Tom said. "He will not be back until dark." + +They felt sad. They liked their ball. It was red and shiny and bounced well. They did not want to lose it. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. They turned and saw a big dog running towards them. It was the neighbor's dog. It looked angry and mean. It had sharp teeth and a long tongue. + +Lily and Tom screamed. They ran away from the dog. They ran to their house and shut the door. They locked it and hugged each other. They were scared. + +They hoped the dog would not get their ball. They hoped Dad would come home soon. They hoped he would help them get their ball back. They hoped the neighbor would not be mad. They hoped the dog would not bite them. They hoped everything would be okay. +Tommy was a baby who liked to count. He counted his fingers, his toes, his toys, and his books. He counted everything he saw in his crib. He had a lot of things in his crib, because his mommy and daddy were rich. They gave him many gifts and hugs. + +One day, Tommy had a visitor. It was his cousin Lily, who was three years old. She came to play with him and see his crib. She was not rich like Tommy. She had a small crib and few toys. But she was happy and friendly. + +"Hi, Tommy," Lily said. "Can I play with you?" + +"Hi, Lily," Tommy said. "Yes, you can play with me. Do you like to count?" + +"I like to count," Lily said. "But I don't have many things to count. What do you count?" + +"I count everything," Tommy said. "Look, I have ten fingers, ten toes, five books, six cars, four dolls, and three balls. That's a lot of things to count. How many things do you have?" + +Lily looked at Tommy's crib and felt sad. She had only two fingers, two toes, one book, one car, one doll, and no balls. She wished she had more things to count. + +"I have not many things," Lily said. "But I have something you don't have." + +"What do you have?" Tommy asked. + +Lily smiled and hugged Tommy. "I have a brother," she said. "He is one year old and he loves me. He is the best thing to count. Do you have a brother?" + +Tommy shook his head. He had no brother. He had only things. He wondered what it was like to have a brother. He felt lonely and curious. + +"Can I meet your brother?" Tommy asked. + +"Sure," Lily said. "He is at home with my mommy. We can go there and play with him. He likes to laugh and crawl and make noises. He is very fun. Do you want to go?" + +Tommy nodded. He wanted to go. He wanted to see Lily's brother and play with him. He wanted to count him and hug him. He realized that things were not the only things to count. He wanted to count people too. + +"Okay, let's go," Tommy said. "But first, can I give you something?" + +"What do you want to give me?" Lily asked. + +Tommy looked at his crib and picked up a ball. He gave it to Lily. "Here, you can have this," he said. "Now you have a ball to count. And I have a friend to count. That's better than being rich." +Sara and Anna are friends. They like to play dress-up with their dolls and clothes. One day, Sara finds a big purse in her mom's closet. It is shiny and has many colors. + +"Look, Anna, look!" Sara says. "I have a fair purse for my doll. It is so pretty!" + +Anna looks at the purse. She likes it too. She wants to have a fair purse for her doll. She asks Sara, "Can I use your purse for my doll? Please, Sara, please?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes to share with Anna, but she also likes her purse. She says, "No, Anna, no. This is my purse. You can use another purse for your doll." + +Anna feels sad. She does not have another purse for her doll. She says, "But Sara, that is not fair. You have a fair purse and I have none. We are friends. Friends share." + +Sara looks at Anna. She sees that Anna is sad. She remembers that Anna shared her cookies with her yesterday. She feels sorry. She says, "You are right, Anna. That is not fair. We are friends. Friends share. You can use my purse for your doll. But only for a little while, okay?" + +Anna smiles. She says, "Thank you, Sara. Thank you. You are a good friend. I will use your purse for a little while, okay?" + +Sara and Anna hug. They play dress-up with their dolls and the fair purse. They are happy. +Sam and Mia like to play with chalk. They write on the sidewalk with different colors. They make shapes, letters, and animals. Sometimes they write their names or funny words. + +One day, they find a big piece of chalk that is flexible. It can bend and twist like a snake. Sam and Mia are curious. They want to try it. + +"Look, Mia, this chalk is flexible!" Sam says. He bends the chalk into a circle.

The box has many things inside. Lily and Tom are curious. + +"What is this?" Lily asks, holding a long, thin thing. It has a circle at one end and a stick at the other. + +"It is a string," Tom says. "You can make music with it. Watch me." He puts the circle on his shoulder and the stick on the string. He moves the stick up and down. The string makes a sound. + +"Wow, that is cool!" Lily says. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, here you go," Tom says. He gives the string to Lily. Lily puts the circle on her shoulder and the stick on the string. She moves the stick up and down.

It has buttons and a screen. + +"What is this?" Tom asks, holding the flat, shiny thing. + +"It is a modern thing," Lily says. "You can watch pictures and play games on it. My mom has one. Watch me."

She gives the flat, shiny thing to Tom. Tom presses a button on the flat, shiny thing. The screen changes. It shows a game of matching colors. + +"I like it!" Tom says. "It is fun!" + +They play with the flat, shiny thing for a while. Then they hear a voice. + +"Lily, Tom, time for lunch!" the voice says. It is Lily's mom. + +"Okay, mom!" Lily says. She and Tom put the string and the flat, shiny thing back in the box. They lean the box against the wall. They run to the kitchen. They are hungry and happy. They had a good time playing with the box. +Lily and Tom 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. + +"Look, our snowman is so big and nice!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. But he can't move or talk. He is just snow," Tom said. + +Lily had an idea. She ran to the house and came back with a cup of cocoa. She poured some cocoa on the snowman's mouth. + +"Maybe he will like some cocoa. It is warm and sweet," she said. + +The snowman did not move or talk. He just melted a little bit. The cocoa dripped down his chin and stained his scarf. + +"Oh no, what did you do?" Tom said. "You ruined our snowman!" + +Lily was sad. She did not mean to ruin their snowman. She wanted to make him happy. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I thought cocoa was useful. I thought it would make him move or talk," she said. + +Tom saw that Lily was sad. He felt sorry for her. He hugged her and said, + +"It's okay, Lily. Cocoa is useful, but not for snowmen.

Mike couldn't resist hopping onto the soft and inviting rug - it was the softest carpet he'd ever come across. + +Mike then decided to take a closer look.

They were playing in the park. + +Rob had a very important thing in his pocket. It was a very shiny thing and no one knew what it was. Sam saw the thing and said to Rob, "What is it?" + +Rob shouted "It's important! I'm not going to tell you!" + +Sam got very curious. He wanted to know what the thing was so he could have it too. He asked Rob again and again. + +Finally, Rob said, "I'll let you see it, but you have to keep it a secret." He put his hand in his pocket and took out the thing. It was a lollipop! + +Sam was so happy and they both shouted "Yay!" +Barry the bear was playing a game of baseball with some of his animal friends in the forest.

He closed his eyes and wished that somehow he could fly fast, just like the other birds. + +Just then, he saw a great-horned owl swooping down from the sky. The owl said, "Don't be so envious, Chirp. Just have hope, and maybe you will get what you desire one day." + +Chirp kept that advice in mind, and he worked every day on his flying skills. Soon enough, he was as fast as the other birds, like he had longed to be. + +The moral of the story is: With hope, you can achieve anything you want in life. +Dave and his family were living in a van, they had no home.

She clapped for herself, happy that she could say the new word. +Mommy smiled even more. "Very good Daisy! How about one more?" +Daisy shook her head yes, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

The bird tried again but to no avail - the caterpillar was too agile for him. + +The bird thought about why he could not catch the caterpillar and then he realized - he had been ignorant! He realized that he should have waited until the caterpillar slowed down, then he could have swooped in and caught it easily. + +So, the next time he went on a visit he was sure to be patient and wait for the right moment to catch the caterpillar.

He went back to playing with Mumma and they had lots of fun. + +The moral of this story is that it is important to accept other people's decisions and not to question them too much.

As he rested, Sammy began to think. He realized that his friend had taken the zip because he was excited, not because he was trying to be mean. + +Sammy felt much better and decided to go find his friend. He found Billy resting in the same spot he had been before. As soon as Sammy approached him, Billy apologized and handed back the zip. They decided to make a promise: to always be kind to each other and share their things fairly. + +The two friends were so happy. They’d learned an important lesson: it’s important to wait and think before acting, so that no one is ashamed or hurt. +Once upon a time, there was a compassionate person.

"We did not mean to be bad. We were just having fun." + +Their mom hugged them. She was glad they were safe. She was not angry. She understood they were just children. + +"It's okay, Tim and Lily," she said. "I know you were just playing. But you have to be careful. The tractor is powerful. It can hurt you. Next time, play somewhere else. Okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Tim and Lily said. "We will play somewhere else. We love you, mom." + +They kissed their mom. Then they went to play with their dog. They still had a lot of fun. But they never played in the wheat field again. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Some are big, some are small, some are red, some are blue. + +One day, Tom and Sam find a new car in the garage. It is very big and shiny. It has four wheels and a motor. Tom and Sam want to play with it. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Tom says. "It is so cool!" + +"Can we play with it?" Sam asks. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is Dad's car. Maybe he will be angry if we touch it." + +Tom and Sam go closer to the car. They kneel down and look at the motor. It is black and has many wires and pipes. It makes a loud noise when they turn the key. + +"Vroom, vroom!" Tom and Sam say. They pretend to drive the car. They have fun. + +But then, Dad comes into the garage. He sees Tom and Sam in his car. He is not happy. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Dad says. "This is not your car. This is my car. It is not a toy. It is not normal to play with it. You could break it or hurt yourself. Get out of there, now!" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They get out of the car. They say sorry to Dad. + +"We are sorry, Dad," Tom and Sam say. "We just wanted to play. We like your car. It is very big and shiny." + +Dad sighs. He is not angry anymore. He understands that Tom and Sam are curious. He hugs them and smiles. + +"I know, I know," Dad says. "But you have to be careful. This car is not for playing. It is for driving. Maybe when you are older, I will teach you how to drive it. But for now, you can play with your own cars and trucks. They are safer and more fun. OK?" + +"OK, Dad," Tom and Sam say. They go back to their room. They play with their own cars and trucks. They are happy. They still like Dad's car, but they know it is not normal to play with it. They wait for the day when they can drive it with Dad. +Lily and Tom were making a cake with Mom. They liked to stir the flour and the eggs and the sugar in a big bowl. Mom said they were good helpers. + +"Can we put some chocolate chips in the cake?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, why not?" Mom said. "But we have to be careful not to spill them on the floor." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They poured some chocolate chips into the bowl and stirred some more. The cake looked yummy. + +Mom put the cake in the oven and set the timer. "Now we have to wait for the cake to bake," she said. "Do you want to play a game while we wait?" + +Lily and Tom said yes. They went to the living room and found some cards and puzzles. They had fun playing together. + +Ding! The timer rang. The cake was ready. Mom took it out of the oven and put it on a rack to cool. It smelled good. + +"Who is the cake for?" Tom asked. + +"It's for our new neighbors," Mom said. "They just moved in next door. We want to say welcome to them and make them feel happy." + +Lily and Tom thought that was nice. They wanted to meet the new neighbors too. They hoped they had kids to play with. + +Mom put the cake on a plate and covered it with a cloth. She told Lily and Tom to put on their coats and shoes. They were going to take the cake to the new neighbors. + +They walked to the next house and knocked on the door. A man opened it. He had a big beard and a deep voice. He looked scary. + +"Hello," Mom said. "We are your neighbors from across the street. We brought you a cake to welcome you to the neighborhood." + +The man smiled. He was not scary at all. He was friendly. + +"Thank you so much," he said. "That's very kind of you. Come in, please. We have some cookies and juice to share. And this is my wife and my son. They are very happy to meet you too." + +Lily and Tom saw a woman and a boy in the living room. They looked nice. The boy was about their age. He had a toy truck and a book. + +"Hi, I'm Lily and this is Tom," Lily said. + +"Hi, I'm Ben," the boy said. + +They smiled at each other. They had a lot in common. + +They went to the living room and ate the cake and the cookies and drank the juice. They talked and laughed and played. They became friends. + +Lily and Tom were glad they made a cake with Mom. They were glad they said welcome to the new neighbors. They were not scary. They were fun. +Tim and Sue are hungry. They want to eat food. They look in the kitchen. There is no food. Only a gray box. + +"What is this?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know," Sue says. "Maybe it is food." + +They open the gray box. Inside, there is a bag of white powder. It has a picture of a cake on it. + +"Look, it is food!" Tim says. "It is cake food!" + +They pour the white powder in a bowl. They add some water. They stir it with a spoon. It becomes sticky. + +"Let's cook it," Sue says. "Then we can eat it." + +They put the bowl in the oven. They turn it on. They wait. + +Soon, they smell something good. They look in the oven. The sticky powder has become a big cake. It has risen in the oven. + +"Wow, it is a cake!" Tim says. "It looks yummy!" + +They take the cake out of the oven. They cut a slice. They share it. + +"Mmm, it is good!" Sue says. + +"It is very good!" Tim says. + +They eat the cake. They are happy. They are not hungry anymore. They have made food from the gray box. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with trains. They have a big box of trains and a long track. They put the track on the floor and make a loop. Then they choose their trains and put them on the track. + +"Choo choo!" Tom says. He pushes his red train around the track. He makes a loud noise with his mouth. "Choo choo!" + +"Beep beep!" Mia says. She pushes her blue train around the track. She makes a soft noise with her mouth. "Beep beep!" + +They have fun with their trains. They make them go fast and slow. They make them stop and go. They make them pass each other and say hello. + +But then Tom sees something. He sees a small door on the wall. He has never seen it before. He is curious. He wants to know what is behind the door. + +"Look, Mia!" Tom says. He points to the door. "What is that?" + +"I don't know," Mia says. She looks at the door. "Maybe it is a secret." + +Tom gets up and walks to the door. He reaches for the handle. He wants to open the door. + +"Wait, Tom!" Mia says. She follows him. "Maybe we should not open it. Maybe it is not for us." + +But Tom does not listen. He opens the door. He looks inside. He sees nothing. The door leads to an empty space. There is no floor, no wall, no ceiling. There is only darkness. + +"Wow!" Tom says. He is surprised. He leans forward to see more. + +"Tom, be careful!" Mia says. She is scared. She grabs his hand. "It is empty. There is nothing there. Come back!" + +Tom feels Mia's hand. He hears her voice. He realizes he is too close to the edge. He pulls back. He closes the door. He is glad Mia is with him. + +"Thank you, Mia," Tom says. He hugs her. "You are a good friend." + +"You are welcome, Tom," Mia says. She hugs him back. "You are a good friend, too." + +They go back to their trains. They play with them again. They are happy. They forget about the door. They do not open it again. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. She liked to pretend she was a fairy. She had a fairy dress and a fairy wand. She would wave her wand and say, "Fairy magic!" + +One day, she saw something shiny in the grass. She went closer and saw a tiny fairy. The fairy had wings and a dress like hers. The fairy smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. I am Faye. I am a fairy too." + +Lily was very happy. She said, "Hello, Faye. You are a fairy? Can you do magic?" + +Faye nodded. She said, "Yes, I can do magic. I can make things grow and sparkle. Do you want to see?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. Show me your magic." + +Faye waved her wand and made a flower grow bigger and brighter. She made a butterfly fly out of the flower. She made a rainbow appear in the sky. Lily clapped and laughed. She said, "Wow, Faye. You are amazing. You are the best fairy ever." + +Faye blushed. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are my friend." + +Lily said, "You are my friend too. Can I hug you?" + +Faye said, "Yes, you can hug me. But be careful. I am very small." + +Lily bent down and gave Faye a gentle hug. Faye hugged her back. They felt warm and happy. They said, "We love you." + +They played together until it was time for Lily to go inside. Faye said, "Goodbye, Lily. I will see you again soon." + +Lily said, "Goodbye, Faye. Thank you for your magic. You are a silly fairy." + +Faye said, "You are a silly fairy too. But you are also a sweet fairy. Have a nice day." + +They waved to each other and flew away. Lily went inside and told her mom about Faye. Her mom smiled and said, "That sounds like a wonderful adventure. I am glad you have a fairy friend." + +Lily said, "Me too, mom. Me too." +Jen and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they fight over toys and clothes. + +One day, Jen wants to wear Ben's blue sweater. She thinks it is soft and warm. She takes it from his closet and puts it on. + +"Hey, that is my sweater!" Ben says. He sees Jen in his sweater. He is angry. He wants his sweater back. + +"No, it is mine now!" Jen says. She likes the sweater. She does not want to give it back. + +They start to pull and tug on the sweater. They both want the sweater. They do not share. + +Mom hears them fighting. She comes to their room. She sees them in the sweater. She is not happy. + +"Stop that, Jen and Ben!" Mom says. "You are hurting the sweater and each other. Why are you fighting?" + +"Jen took my sweater!" Ben says. + +"Ben has a sweet sweater!" Jen says. + +Mom sighs. She knows they both like the sweater. But they have to learn to share. + +"Jen, you can wear the sweater today, but you have to let Ben wear it tomorrow. OK?" Mom says. + +"OK, Mom," Jen says. She is glad she can wear the sweater. + +"Ben, you can wear another sweater today, and you can have your sweater back tomorrow. OK?" Mom says. + +"OK, Mom," Ben says. He is sad he cannot wear his sweater. But he knows he will get it back. + +Mom hugs them both. She hopes they will be nice to each other. + +"Next time, ask before you take something. And share your things. That is what sweet twins do," Mom says. + +Jen and Ben nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. + +They go to play together. They are sweet twins again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play and have fun. One day, their mom told them that there was a big festival in the park, with games and food and music. She said they could go if they were good and did their chores. + +Tom and Lily were very excited and wanted to go to the festival. They did their chores quickly and put on their best clothes. They asked their mom if they could go now. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay together. + +Tom and Lily went to the park and saw the festival. It was very colorful and noisy and busy. They saw many people and things they wanted to try. They played some games and won some prizes. They ate some popcorn and candy. They listened to some music and danced. + +But then, Tom saw something that made him curious. He saw a big tent with a sign that said "Smelly Show". He wondered what was inside. He told Lily that he wanted to see the smelly show. Lily said no, they should not go there. She said it looked scary and weird. She said they should stay with the other people and have fun. + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He said he was brave and smart and he could do what he wanted. He said he would go to the smelly show and come back soon. He said Lily was silly and scared and she could wait for him. He ran away from Lily and went to the tent. + +Lily was sad and worried. She did not like that Tom left her alone. She did not know what to do. She waited for Tom, but he did not come back. She looked for Tom, but she could not find him. She asked some people, but they did not know where he was. She cried and cried. + +Meanwhile, Tom entered the tent and saw the smelly show. It was not what he expected. It was not fun or funny. It was gross and scary. It was a show of rotten things and creepy things and dangerous things. There were smelly cheese and smelly fish and smelly socks. There were spiders and snakes and rats. There were knives and fire and bones. Tom was very scared and wanted to leave. But he could not. The tent was locked and dark. The people who ran the show were mean and evil. They laughed at Tom and said he was their new toy. They said they would not let him go. They said they would make him smelly and hurt him and eat him. + +Tom screamed and screamed. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had stayed with her. He wished he had been good and careful. He wished he had never gone to the smelly show. But it was too late. He was trapped and doomed. + +The moral of the story is: You should listen to your sister and not go to smelly shows. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big, yellow butterfly on a flower. Anna wanted to catch it and hold it in her hand. Ben said, "No, Anna, don't do that. You will hurt the butterfly. It needs to fly and find food and friends. We should support the butterfly, not catch it." + +But Anna did not listen to Ben. She ran after the butterfly and tried to grab it. She was fast and she caught it. She felt its wings moving in her hand. She felt happy and proud. She showed it to Ben and said, "Look, Ben, I have the butterfly. It is so pretty and soft. I want to keep it as my pet." + +Ben looked at Anna and the butterfly. He felt sad and angry. He said, "Anna, you are being bad. You are not supporting the butterfly. You are making it scared and sad. You are hurting its wings. You should let it go. It does not want to be your pet. It wants to be free." + +Anna looked at Ben and the butterfly. She saw that the butterfly was not happy. It was trying to get away from her hand. It was not moving its wings as much as before. She felt guilty. She realized that she had done something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, butterfly. I did not mean to hurt you. I just wanted to see you and touch you. You are so beautiful and amazing. I will let you go now. Please forgive me." + +She opened her hand and let the butterfly go. The butterfly flew away from her hand. It flew around the flower and then up in the sky. It looked like it was saying thank you and goodbye. Anna and Ben watched it go. They felt happy and relieved. They said, "Bye, butterfly. Have a good day. We hope to see you again. We will support you and your friends. We will not catch you or hurt you. We will be kind and gentle." +Ben is a painter. He likes to paint big pictures on the walls. He has many colors of paint in his cans. He paints with a big brush and a small brush. He paints flowers and trees and animals and people. + +One day, he paints a picture of a dragon. The dragon is green and red and yellow. It has big teeth and wings and a long tail. Ben thinks the dragon is very cool. He wants to show it to his friend Lily. + +He calls Lily on the phone. "Lily, come and see my dragon. It is very big and scary and pretty. You will like it a lot." Lily says, "OK, Ben, I will come soon. But be careful. Dragons can be dangerous." + +Ben laughs. He knows dragons are not real. They are only in stories and pictures. He waits for Lily to come. He looks at his dragon. He is very proud of his painting. + +But he does not see that the paint is not dry yet. The paint is still wet and sticky. And he does not see that his cat, Milo, is in the room. Milo is curious. He likes to play with things. He sees the dragon. He thinks it is a toy. He jumps on the wall. He scratches the dragon. He makes a big mess. + +Ben hears a noise. He turns around. He sees Milo and the dragon. He is very angry and sad. He yells, "Milo, no! Bad cat! You ruined my dragon! Go away!" + +Milo runs away. He is scared and sorry. Ben cries. He does not know how to fix his dragon. He hears a knock on the door. It is Lily. She comes in. She sees Ben and the dragon. She says, "Oh, Ben, what happened? Your dragon is all messed up. Who did this?" + +Ben says, "Milo did this. He is a bad cat. He does not like my dragon. He does not like me. He does not like anything." + +Lily says, "No, Ben, that is not true. Milo is not a bad cat. He is a regular cat. He likes to play. He did not know that your dragon was your painting. He thought it was a toy. He did not mean to hurt your dragon or you. He is sorry. I am sure he is." + +Ben says, "But how can I make my dragon look good again? I worked so hard on it. I used all my colors. I used my big brush and my small brush. I wanted to show you my dragon. I wanted you to like it." + +Lily says, "I do like your dragon, Ben. I think it is very cool. And I think you are a very good painter. You can make your dragon look good again. You just need some more paint and some more time. And maybe some help from me. Do you want me to help you?" + +Ben says, "Yes, Lily, I want you to help me. Thank you for being my friend. And thank you for liking my dragon. Maybe Milo can like it too, when it is dry." + +Lily says, "I am sure he will, Ben. Come on, let's get some more paint and start over. We can make your dragon even better than before. And then we can have some cookies and milk and read some stories about dragons. How does that sound?" + +Ben says, "That sounds great, Lily. You are the best. Let's go." He smiles. He feels better. He takes Lily's hand. They go to get some more paint. They are happy. They are friends. They are painters. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big bounce house in the park. It was red and blue and had a slide. They wanted to go inside and have fun. + +"Can we go, Mom?" Lily asked her mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Sure, but be careful and don't stay too long. It's very hot today," her mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the bounce house and took off their shoes. They climbed inside and started to jump and bounce. They laughed and shouted with joy. + +"Look at me, Lily! I can bounce very high!" Ben said. + +"Me too, Ben! Whee!" Lily said. + +They bounced and bounced until they were very tired. They decided to go down the slide. But the slide was very thin and had a hole in it. Lily went first and slid down. But when she reached the hole, she fell through it and landed on the hard ground. She cried out in pain. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! My leg! It hurts!" Lily said. + +Ben saw what happened and was scared. He tried to slide down too, but he got stuck in the hole. He couldn't move and he felt very hot. He called for help. + +"Mom! Mom! Help me! I'm stuck!" Ben said. + +Their moms heard them and ran to the bounce house. They saw Lily on the ground and Ben in the hole. They were very worried and angry. They called the park staff and the ambulance. They took Lily and Ben to the hospital. Lily had a broken leg and Ben had a heat stroke. They had to stay in the hospital for a long time. They missed their friends and their toys. They wished they never went to the bounce house. It was a bad day. +Lily and Sam were playing with paint. They had many colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They painted on paper, on their hands, and on their faces. They had fun making different shapes and patterns. + +"Look, I painted a flower!" Lily said, showing Sam her paper. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" Sam said. "I painted a car. It has wheels and a door." + +They looked at each other and smiled. Then they had an idea. + +"Let's paint each other's head!" Lily said. + +"OK, but be gentle!" Sam said. + +They took turns painting each other's head. Lily painted Sam's head blue, like the sky. Sam painted Lily's head yellow, like the sun. They giggled and tickled each other with the brushes. + +They were happy with their paint. They looked like funny aliens. They ran to show their mom and dad. + +"Mom, dad, look at us!" they shouted. + +Mom and dad looked at them and laughed. They hugged them and kissed them. + +"You are very creative!" mom said. + +"And very messy!" dad said. + +They took them to the bathroom and washed their head. The water turned into a rainbow. They dried their head and combed their hair. + +They were still happy with their paint. They had made a beautiful memory. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. One day, they make a poem with their crayons. They write some words and draw some pictures. They are very happy with their poem. + +They show their poem to their teacher, Miss Rose. Miss Rose smiles and says, "What a lovely poem! You are very creative and smart. Can I hang your poem on the wall?" + +Tom and Lily nod and say, "Yes, please!" They are proud of their poem. + +But then, Sam comes along. Sam is mean and rude. He does not like Tom and Lily. He sees their poem on the wall and says, "What is this? This is not a poem. This is ugly and silly. I can make a better poem than this." + +He takes a crayon and wipes their poem with it. He makes a big mess on the paper. He laughs and says, "There, this is a better poem. Ha ha ha!" + +Tom and Lily are sad and angry. They cry and say, "Why did you do that? That was our poem. We worked hard on it. You are very mean and bad." + +Miss Rose hears them and comes to see what happened. She sees the ruined poem and Sam's crayon. She is very upset and says, "Sam, what did you do? You wiped Tom and Lily's poem. That was very wrong and rude. You should not destroy other people's work. You should respect and appreciate their creativity and effort. How would you feel if someone wiped your poem?" + +Sam looks down and says, "I don't know. I don't care. I don't like poems. They are boring and slow." + +Miss Rose says, "Poems are not boring and slow. Poems are beautiful and fun. Poems can express your feelings and thoughts. Poems can make you happy and smart. You should try to make your own poem and see how it feels. Maybe you will like it and learn something new." + +She gives Sam a new paper and a crayon and says, "Here, you can make your own poem. But you have to apologize to Tom and Lily first. And you have to help them make a new poem too. Can you do that?" + +Sam thinks for a while and says, "Okay, I'm sorry. I was mean and bad. I will help you make a new poem. Maybe I will like poems too." + +Tom and Lily smile and say, "Thank you. We forgive you. We can be friends. We can make a new poem together." + +They all sit down and make a new poem with their crayons. They write some words and draw some pictures. They are very happy with their poem. + +They show their poem to Miss Rose. Miss Rose smiles and says, "What a wonderful poem! You are very kind and good. You learned to say sorry and to share. You learned to enjoy poems and to be creative. I'm very proud of you." + +She hangs their poem on the wall. They all look at their poem and say, "We like poems. Poems are fun. Poems are beautiful. Poems are our friends." +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made a snow reindeer with sticks for antlers. They were very happy with their snow friends. + +But then a big wind came and blew the hat and the scarf away. The snow reindeer's antlers also fell off. Lily and Ben were very sad. They cried and hugged their snow friends. + +"Whoosh!" They heard a sound in the sky. They looked up and saw a real reindeer with a red nose. He was pulling a sleigh with a man in a red suit. The man had a big beard and a big smile. He waved at Lily and Ben. + +"Hello, children!" he said. "I am Santa Claus. I saw your snow friends and I wanted to help. Can I restore them for you?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wiped their tears and smiled. They were very surprised and happy. + +Santa Claus landed his sleigh next to the snowman and the snow reindeer. He took out a new hat and a new scarf from his sack and put them on the snowman. He also took out two new sticks and put them on the snow reindeer's head. He made them look like new. + +"Thank you, Santa Claus!" Lily and Ben said. "You are very kind and polite. You made our snow friends beautiful again." + +"You are very welcome, children!" Santa Claus said. "You are very good and polite too. You deserve a gift. Here, take these cookies and hot chocolate. They will keep you warm and happy." + +Lily and Ben took the cookies and the hot chocolate. They thanked Santa Claus again. They watched him fly away with his reindeer. They waved and shouted, "Merry Christmas, Santa Claus!" + +They ate the cookies and drank the hot chocolate. They played with their snow friends until it was time to go home. They had a wonderful day. +Jill and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. Jill wanted to try it, but Tom was scared. + +"Come on, Tom, it will be fun!" Jill said. + +"I don't know, Jill, it looks too high," Tom said. + +Jill climbed up the ladder. She looked down at Tom. She smiled and waved. + +"Watch me, Tom, I will show you how to slide!" Jill said. + +She sat on the slide and pushed herself down. She went very fast. She felt the wind in her hair. She laughed and shouted. + +"Wow, this is great!" Jill said. + +But then, something bad happened. Jill did not see a rock at the end of the slide. She hit the rock with her foot. She fell off the slide. She hurt her knee. She cried and cried. + +Tom heard Jill cry. He ran to her. He saw her knee. It was red and bleeding. + +"Oh no, Jill, are you okay?" Tom said. + +He helped her get up. He hugged her. He was sorry for her. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I was silly. I should have been careful," Jill said. + +They walked to the bench. They saw a lady with a bag. She was a nurse. She saw Jill and Tom. She came to them. + +"Hello, children, what happened?" the lady said. + +"Jill hurt her knee on the slide," Tom said. + +The lady looked at Jill's knee. She took out a band-aid from her bag. She put it on Jill's knee. + +"There, that should feel better," the lady said. + +She gave Jill a lollipop. She gave Tom a sticker. + +"Thank you, lady, you are very nice," Jill said. + +"Yes, thank you, lady, you are very kind," Tom said. + +They were grateful to the lady. They hoped Jill's knee would heal soon. They learned to be more careful on the slide. They still liked to play in the park, but they also liked to say thank you to the people who helped them. They were happy friends. +Tommy loves his guitar. He plays it every day. He likes to make loud noises with it. He squeezes the strings hard and strums fast. He sings his own songs. He thinks he is a rock star. + +One day, Tommy's mom tells him to stop playing. She says it is time for a nap. Tommy does not want to nap. He wants to play more. He says no to his mom. He runs to his room with his guitar. + +His mom follows him. She knocks on his door. She says, "Tommy, you need to rest. You played a lot. Put your guitar away and lie down." Tommy shakes his head. He holds his guitar tight. He says, "No, mom. I love my guitar. I want to play more." + +His mom sighs. She opens the door. She sees Tommy on his bed with his guitar. She says, "Tommy, I know you love your guitar. But you can play again later. Now you need to sleep. You will feel better. And your guitar will be here when you wake up." + +Tommy looks at his mom. He sees her smile. He thinks for a moment. He says, "Okay, mom. I will nap. But can I keep my guitar with me?" His mom nods. She says, "Sure, Tommy. You can keep your guitar with you. But be gentle with it. Don't squeeze it too hard. It might break." + +Tommy smiles. He says, "Thank you, mom. I will be gentle. I love you and I love my guitar." He hugs his guitar softly. He closes his eyes. He falls asleep. His mom kisses him. She says, "I love you too, Tommy. Sweet dreams." She leaves the room. She closes the door. She hears Tommy snore. She smiles. She thinks, "What a silly boy. He loves his guitar so much." +Ben likes to play soccer with his friends. He runs fast and kicks the ball hard. He wants to win the game and get a trophy. A trophy is a shiny thing that you get when you do something good. + +One day, Ben's team plays against another team. They are very good too. The game is hard and fun. Ben tries his best to score a goal. He sees the ball near the net. He runs and kicks it. But the other team's goalie stops it. He is sad. + +The game is over. The other team wins. They get the trophy. Ben's team does not. They are sad too. They say goodbye and go home. + +Ben's mom is waiting for him. She gives him a hug and a kiss. She says she is proud of him. She says he played well and had fun. She says he is a good boy. + +She has a surprise for him. She takes him to his room. She shows him a box. She says it is for him. She gives him a key. She says he can unlock the box and see what is inside. + +Ben is curious. He takes the key and puts it in the hole. He turns it and hears a click. He opens the box and sees something shiny. It is a trophy! It is small and smooth and has his name on it. It says "Ben, you are a star". + +Ben is happy. He smiles and hugs his mom. He says thank you. He says he loves her. He says he loves his trophy. He puts it on his shelf. He looks at it and feels proud. He says he will try again next time. He says he will have fun. He says he is a star. +Lila and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to find sticks and stones and make houses for their toys. They had a lot of fun and did not see the sun go down. + +"Look, Lila, I made a castle for my bear!" Ben said, showing his sister his work. + +"That's nice, Ben. But we should go home now. It's getting dark and cold," Lila said, feeling worry in her tummy. + +"Why? We can stay a little longer. It's fun here," Ben said, not wanting to leave. + +Lila shook her head. "No, Ben, we can't. Mama and Papa will be angry if we are late. And there might be wolves in the forest. Wolves are big and bad and hungry. They might want to eat us," she said, trying to scare her brother. + +Ben's eyes grew wide. He did not like wolves. He had seen a picture of a wolf in a book and it had big teeth and sharp claws. He did not want to meet a wolf. He grabbed his bear and ran after Lila. + +"Okay, okay, let's go home. I don't want to see a wolf. Hurry, Lila, hurry!" he said, feeling worry in his tummy too. + +Lila and Ben ran as fast as they could. They followed the path that led to their house. They hoped they would not see a wolf. They hoped Mama and Papa would not be angry. They hoped they would be safe and warm soon. +Tom and Lily love winter. They love to play in the snow and make snowmen. They also love to slide on the ice. They have a big hill near their house. They take their sleds and go to the hill. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Tom asks. He sits on his red sled. + +"Yes, I am, Tom!"

But Sara and Ben think it is fun. + +"Let's dance on the desk!" Sara says. She climbs on the desk and jumps up and down. Ben follows her. They dance on the desk and make loud noises. + +"Stop! Stop!" their teacher says. She is angry. She comes to the desk and sees Sara and Ben. "This is not a dance floor. This is a desk. It is not for dancing. It is for writing and reading. You are being naughty. You could hurt yourself or break the desk. Get down now!" + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They get down from the desk. They say sorry to their teacher. They do not want to make her angry. They do not want to dance on the desk anymore. + +Their teacher is not angry anymore. She is kind. She says, "I know you like to dance. Dancing is good. But you have to dance in the right place. Not on the desk. The desk is cheap, but it is still useful. We can fix it and use it for learning. Do you want to help me?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They want to help their teacher. They want to learn. They help their teacher fix the desk. They use glue and tape and paper. They make the desk look nice. They are happy. + +They still like to dance.

He wants the ball. He runs to the ball and picks it up. + +"Look, Anna, I found a ball!" Tom says. "Let's play with it!" + +Anna follows Tom. She sees the ball. But she also sees a boy sitting on a bench. The boy is crying. He has no ball. + +"Tom, that's not your ball," Anna says. "That's the boy's ball. He lost it. He is sad. Give it back to him." + +Tom shakes his head. He likes the ball. He does not want to give it back. He refuses. + +"No, Anna, it's my ball now. I found it. It's mine. Go away!" Tom says. He holds the ball tight. + +Anna is angry. She does not like Tom's words. She does not like Tom's face. She thinks Tom is mean. She is ashamed of Tom. + +"Tom, you are wrong. You are bad. You are not my friend. I don't want to play with you," Anna says. She turns away. She walks to the boy. She says sorry to the boy. She asks the boy to play with her. + +The boy smiles. He says yes.

They liked to build sand castles, dig holes, and splash in the water. Sometimes they found shells, rocks, and seaweed. They always had fun. + +One day, they saw a big boat on the ocean. It was making loud noises and smoke. It was also throwing trash into the water. Lila and Sam did not like that. They wanted the ocean to be clean and peaceful. + +They decided to do something. They took a bucket and a net and went to the water. They tried to remove the trash from the ocean. They picked up cans, bottles, and bags. They put them in the bucket. They also used the net to catch some fish that were trapped in the trash. They freed them and let them swim away. + +They worked hard until the bucket was full. Then they went back to the shore. They showed their mom and dad what they had done. Mom and dad were very proud of them. They said they were good helpers and good friends to the ocean. + +They took the bucket to a trash can and emptied it. Then they went back to the beach. They played some more and enjoyed the peaceful ocean. They hoped the boat would go away and stop hurting the water. They loved the ocean and wanted to protect it. +Sara was sad. Her dog, Spot, was sick. He had a big cut on his leg from a bad cat. Spot did not want to play or eat. He only lay on his bed and made soft noises. + +Sara's mom took Spot to the vet. The vet was a nice lady who helped animals. She looked at Spot's leg and said, "Don't worry, Sara. Spot will heal soon. I will give him some medicine and a bandage. He just needs some rest and love." + +Sara hugged Spot and said, "I love you, Spot. You are my best friend. I promise I will take good care of you. Please get better soon." + +The vet smiled and said, "You are a good girl, Sara. Spot is lucky to have you. He will be fine in a few days. You can take him home now, but be gentle with him.

They also found a big jug of milk on the table. + +"Let's make a cake!" Mia said. "We need milk for the cake." + +"OK, I'll get the milk," Ben said. He reached for the jug, but it was too heavy for him. He tried to lift it, but it slipped from his hands and fell on the floor. The milk splashed everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. He was scared and sad. He saw his mom coming from the living room. He knew she would be angry. He started to tremble. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. She looked at the mess and at Ben and Mia. She was not happy. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Ben said. "I wanted to get the milk, but it was too big and it broke." + +Mom sighed. She was not angry, but she was disappointed. She knew Ben and Mia were trying to have fun, but they also made a big mistake. + +"It's OK, Ben," Mom said. "But you should have asked me for help. The jug was too heavy for you. And you should not play with food in the kitchen. It's wasteful and dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or Mia." + +Ben felt embarrassed. He knew Mom was right. He wished he had been more careful. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," he said again. "I won't do it again." + +Mia felt sorry for Ben. She knew he didn't mean to make a mess. She gave him a hug. + +"It's OK, Ben," she said. "We can still make a cake. We can use water instead of milk. And we can clean up the floor." + +Mom smiled.

He saw a bowl of red and blue and purple berries. He took the bowl and closed the fridge. + +He turned around and saw that the pan was gone. He looked on the table, on the floor, on the counter, but he could not find the pan. He felt confused and scared. + +"Mia, where is the pan?" Tom asked. + +Mia looked at him and smiled. She had the pan behind her back. She had taken it when Tom was not looking. She wanted to surprise him. + +"Here it is!" Mia said. She showed him the pan. "I made it vanish and then come back. It was a magic trick!" + +Tom felt relieved and happy. He laughed and hugged Mia. + +"You are so clever, Mia! That was a perfect trick!" Tom said. + +"Thank you, Tom!

He felt angry and sad. + +"Lily, that is my pen!" he shouted. "You took it without asking me! That is not nice!" + +Lily looked up and saw Tom. She felt scared and sorry. She did not mean to make Tom angry. She thought he would not care if she borrowed his pen for a little while. + +"Tom, I'm sorry," she said. "I could not find my pen and I wanted to draw a picture of my cat. I was going to give it back to you. Please don't be mad at me." + +Tom looked at Lily's picture. He saw that she had drawn a nice cat. He liked cats. He felt a little less angry and a little more sorry. + +"Lily, it's okay," he said. "But next time, you have to ask me before you borrow my pen. That is the right thing to do. Can I see your picture?" + +Lily nodded and showed Tom her picture. Tom smiled and said it was a good picture.

Lily asked. + +"It is the sun," Ben said. "The sun is a big fire that gives us light and heat." + +"Can we touch it?" Lily asked. + +"No, it is too far and too hot," Ben said. "We can only look at it. But we can make our own fire with sticks and leaves." + +They ran to the pile of sticks and leaves that dad had made. They took some and put them in a circle. They rubbed two sticks together very fast. They made a small fire. It was not as big or as bright as the sun, but it was still nice. + +They sat around the fire and sang songs.

"Do you like our fire?" + +The bird nodded and flew down. It came close to the fire. It looked at it with curiosity. + +"Be careful, bird," Ben said. "The fire is hot. It can hurt you." + +The bird did not listen. It touched the fire with its wing. It made a loud noise and flew away. It left some feathers behind. They were black and burned. + +"Oh no, bird," Lily said. "Are you okay?" + +They looked at the sky. They saw the bird flying away. It was not singing anymore. It looked sad and hurt. + +"Bye, bird," Ben said. "We are sorry. We did not mean to hurt you. We hope you get better soon." + +They felt sorry and sad too. They put out the fire with water. They went back to the house. They told mom and dad what happened. Mom and dad hugged them and said they did the right thing. They said the bird was not dead, but it needed to rest and heal.

Lily and Ben were very happy. + +Mom gave them a big bowl and a spoon. She said, "First, we need to count the eggs. How many eggs do we have?" Lily and Ben looked at the eggs on the table. They pointed and said, "One, two, three, four!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Very good! Now, we need to crack the eggs and put them in the bowl. Can you do that?" Lily and Ben nodded. They took an egg each and tapped it on the edge of the bowl. The eggs broke and the yellow stuff came out. Lily and Ben giggled. + +Mom said, "Next, we need to add some butter. Can you get the butter from the fridge?" Lily and Ben ran to the fridge and opened the door. They saw a yellow stick of butter on a plate. They grabbed it and brought it to Mom. + +Mom said, "Thank you! Now, we need to cut the butter into small pieces. Can you help me with that?" Lily and Ben said yes. Mom gave them a knife and showed them how to cut the butter. Lily and Ben tried to copy her. They cut the butter into many pieces. Some pieces were big and some were small. + +Mom said, "That's enough. Now, we need to put the butter in the bowl and mix it with the eggs. Can you do that?" Lily and Ben said yes.

She saw a family moving in next door. There was a mom, a dad, and a boy. The boy was about her age. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He was holding a toy car. + +Lily felt excited. Maybe the boy would be her friend. She put on her shoes and coat and ran outside. She saw the boy standing on the sidewalk, looking at his new house. She walked up to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily.

She did not like the hospital. It was big and noisy and smelled funny. + +The doctor was nice. He said he needed to perform an x-ray on Lily's arm. He explained that an x-ray was a special picture that showed the bones inside. He said it would not hurt, but Lily had to stay very still. He gave her a sticker and a teddy bear to hold. + +Lily followed the doctor to a dark room. There was a big machine with a round part that moved. The doctor told Lily to lie down on a table and put her arm under the round part. He said he would go behind a window and talk to her through a speaker. He said he would count to three and then the machine would make a beep. + +Lily was scared. She did not want to be alone in the dark room. She wanted Mommy to stay with her. She started to cry and shake. She said, "No, no, no, I don't want an x-ray!" + +The doctor tried to calm her down. He said, "Lily, it's okay, it will be over soon. Just relax and listen to my voice. I'm right here. One, two, three..." + +But Lily did not listen. She jumped off the table and ran to the door. She wanted to find Mommy. She did not see the round part of the machine moving towards her. She bumped into it and fell down. The machine made a loud noise and sparks flew. Lily screamed. + +Mommy heard the scream and ran to the room. She saw Lily on the floor, bleeding and unconscious. The doctor was shocked and sorry. He said, "Oh no, oh no, what have you done? You moved the machine and it broke. You hurt yourself badly. We need to call an ambulance. This is very bad." + +Mommy was angry and sad. She hugged Lily and cried. She said, "Lily, Lily, wake up, please. Why did you do that? Why didn't you listen to the doctor? He was trying to help you. Now you are in more trouble. I love you, Lily, please be okay." +Lily wanted to make a present for her mom. She had some cloth, some thread and a needle. She asked her dad to help her. + +"Dad, can you show me how to use the needle?" she said. + +"Sure, Lily. But you have to be very careful. The needle is sharp and can hurt you," he said. + +He took the needle and the thread and made a knot at the end. He showed Lily how to push the needle through the cloth and pull the thread. He let Lily try it. + +Lily was happy. She managed to make some stitches on the cloth. She wanted to make a heart shape. + +"Dad, can I use some red thread?" she asked. + +"Let me see if we have some available," he said. He looked in the drawer and found some red thread. He cut a piece and gave it to Lily. + +"Thank you, Dad. You are the best," she said. + +She used the red thread to make a heart on the cloth. She was very proud of her work. She gave the cloth to her dad. + +"Look, Dad. I made a present for Mom. Do you think she will like it?" she said. + +"I think she will love it, Lily. You did a great job.

They lay down their mats and start to do yoga. Anna follows her mom and tries to copy her shapes. She feels happy and calm. + +But then, a dog comes running to them. The dog is dirty and wet. He has mud and leaves on his fur. He jumps on Anna and her mom and licks their faces. He thinks they are playing with him. Anna and her mom are surprised and scared.

He did not see his dad coming over. He did not notice that he was making a lot of noise and damage. + +"Tommy, what are you doing?" his dad shouted. He pulled Tommy out of the car and looked at the mess. He was very angry and scared. + +Tommy started to cry. He was sorry and afraid. He did not mean to hurt the car. He just wanted to fix it. + +His dad hugged him and said, "It's okay, son. I know you were trying to help. But you can't fix cars by yourself. You need to learn and practice first. And you need to ask me before you touch anything. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, dad. I'm sorry, dad." + +His dad kissed him and said, "I love you, son. And I'm proud of you. You have a lot of talent and passion. You can be a great mechanic someday. But you have to be patient and careful. And you have to listen to me and learn from me. Will you do that?" + +Tommy smiled and said, "Yes, dad. I will. Thank you, dad." + +His dad smiled and said, "You're welcome, son. Now, let's go and clean up this mess.

She put water, carrots, potatoes and chicken in a big pot. She turned on the stove. + +"Soup will be ready soon," Mom said. "You can play with your toys while you wait." + +Lily and Tom went to their room. They had many toys. They had dolls, cars, blocks and books. They liked to play with their toys. They had fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was the phone. Mom went to answer the phone. It was Grandma. Grandma wanted to talk to Mom. Grandma had a beautiful voice. Mom liked to talk to Grandma. + +Lily and Tom waited for Mom. They waited and waited. They smelled the soup. It smelled good. They wanted to eat the soup. They were very hungry. + +"Mom, can we eat soup now?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie," Mom said. "I have to talk to Grandma. She has something important to tell me. Please be patient. I will be done soon." + +Lily and Tom were sad. They did not want to wait. They did not want to play with their toys. They wanted to eat soup. + +"Mom, please hurry," Tom said. "We are very hungry. We want soup." + +"I know, honey," Mom said. "But Grandma is lonely. She needs to talk to me. She loves me. And I love her. And I love you. And you love her. Right?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They loved Grandma. Grandma was nice. Grandma gave them hugs and kisses. Grandma read them stories. Grandma made them cookies. + +"OK, Mom," Lily said. "We will wait. But please don't delay. We want soup." + +"I won't delay, I promise," Mom said. "Thank you for being good. You are the best kids. I will be with you soon. And then we will eat soup. And it will be delicious." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They hugged Mom. They said they loved her. They went back to their room. They played with their toys. They waited for soup. They waited for Mom. They waited for Grandma. They were happy. +Lily liked to play with bugs. She had a jar with many bugs inside. She gave them grass and water and watched them crawl and fly. She had ants, beetles, butterflies and a caterpillar. + +One day, she saw that the caterpillar was not moving. It was hanging from a twig and had a hard skin around it. Lily was worried. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is wrong with my caterpillar? Is it sick?" + +Mom smiled and said, "No, Lily, your caterpillar is not sick. It is changing. It is becoming something else. Something beautiful. You will see." + +Lily was curious. She waited and waited for the caterpillar to change. She wondered what it would be. She hoped it would be a butterfly like the others. + +But the next day, she saw that the caterpillar had changed into a moth. A brown and gray moth. Lily was disappointed. She did not like the moth. It was not pretty like the butterflies. It was dull and boring. She was envious of the butterflies. She wished her caterpillar had changed into a butterfly. + +She said to the moth, "Why did you change into a moth? Why not a butterfly? I don't want you. You are ugly." + +The moth heard Lily's words and felt sad. It said, "Lily, I am sorry you don't like me. But I am still your caterpillar. I just changed my shape. I am still the same inside. I still like you. Can you still like me?" + +Lily looked at the moth and thought. She remembered how the caterpillar was her friend. How it ate the grass and curled up in her hand. How it made her happy. She realized that the moth was still her friend. She felt sorry for being mean. + +She said to the moth, "I'm sorry, moth. You are right. You are still my caterpillar. You are still my friend. I still like you. You are not ugly. You are different. And different is good." + +The moth smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are kind. And kind is better than pretty." + +Lily smiled and hugged the moth. She put it back in the jar with the other bugs. She learned that change is not bad. And that friends are not judged by their looks. She was happy. And so was the moth. +Tom did not want to go to school today. He was grumpy and sleepy. He wanted to stay in bed and play with his toys. He did not like his teacher or his homework. + +"Tom, it is time to get up. You have to go to school," his mom said. She opened the curtains and let the sun in. + +"No, mom, I don't want to go. School is boring and hard. I want to stay home with you," Tom said. He pulled the blanket over his head. + +"Tom, you have to go. School is good for you. You will learn new things and make new friends. You will have fun, I promise," his mom said. She took the blanket away and gave him a hug. + +"But mom, I don't like school. I like home. Home is cozy and warm. School is cold and noisy. Please, mom, don't send me to school," Tom said. He made a sad face and hugged his mom. + +"Tom, I know you like home, but you also need to go to school. School is not so bad. You have your teacher, who is nice and helpful. You have your classmates, who are friendly and funny. You have your books, which are interesting and colorful. You have your games, which are fun and exciting. You have your lunch, which is yummy and healthy. You have your recess, which is free and happy. You have your bus, which is fast and safe. You have your mom, who loves you and waits for you. You have so many things to enjoy at school, Tom. You just have to give it a try," his mom said. She smiled and kissed him. + +Tom thought about what his mom said. He looked at his mom, who was kind and gentle. He looked at his bed, which was soft and comfy. He looked at his toys, which were fun and familiar. He looked at his window, which showed the sun and the sky. He felt a little bit curious and a little bit brave. He decided to go to school today. + +"Okay, mom, I will go to school. But only if you come with me to the bus," Tom said. + +"Of course, Tom, I will come with you to the bus. And I will be here when you come back. I am proud of you, Tom. You are a good boy," his mom said. + +They got ready and went to the bus. Tom waved goodbye to his mom and got on the bus. He saw his teacher, who smiled and greeted him. He saw his classmates, who waved and called him. He saw his books, which looked inviting and colorful. He saw his games, which looked fun and exciting. He saw his lunch, which smelled yummy and healthy. He saw his recess, which sounded free and happy. He felt a little bit happy and a little bit excited. He decided to try school today. He was not so grumpy anymore. +Lily and Max were eager to go outside and play in the snow. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They said bye to their mom and ran to the door. + +"Wait a minute, you two!" their mom called. "What do you need to remind me before you go?" + +Lily and Max stopped and turned around. They knew the answer. They said together, "We need to remind you to make hot chocolate for us when we come back!" + +"That's right!" their mom smiled. "And what else do you need to remind yourselves?" + +Lily and Max thought for a moment. They remembered what their mom always told them. They said together, "We need to remind ourselves to stay together, to be careful, and to have fun!" + +"Very good!" their mom praised. "Now off you go, and don't stay out too long. It's very cold today!" + +Lily and Max nodded and opened the door. They felt the cold air on their faces. They saw the white snow on the ground. They heard the other kids laughing and shouting. They were eager to join them. They held hands and ran to the yard. They reminded themselves to stay together, to be careful, and to have fun. And they did. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their big garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a red bike. Their dad had given them the bike for their birthday. He was a wealthy man who worked in a big office. + +One day, the twins were riding the bike around the garden, when they heard a loud pop. The bike stopped moving and they saw that the back tire was flat. They were very sad and ran to their dad. + +"Dad, dad, our bike is broken!" they cried. "Can you repair it?" + +Their dad looked at the bike and saw the flat tire. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my darlings. I can repair it. I just need a new tube and a pump. I will go to the shop and buy them. You wait here and be good." + +He kissed them and went to his car. The twins waited in the garden, but they were bored. They looked around and saw a big pear tree. The tree had many ripe pears that looked juicy and sweet. + +"Look, Lily, pears!" Ben said. "Let's pick some and eat them. They will make us happy." + +"OK, Ben, let's do that," Lily said. They ran to the tree and climbed on the branches. They picked some pears and bit into them. They were delicious and made them smile. + +They ate and ate until they were full. Then they heard their dad's car coming back. They jumped down from the tree and ran to him. + +"Dad, dad, we ate some pears!" they said. "They were yummy!" + +Their dad looked at them and saw their sticky faces and hands. He laughed and said, "I see that. You are very clever to find some pears. But did you ask the owner of the tree if you could take them?" + +The twins looked at each other and felt guilty. They did not know who owned the tree. They shook their heads and said, "No, dad, we did not." + +Their dad said, "That was not very nice. You should always ask before you take something that is not yours. The owner of the tree is our neighbor, Mrs. Green. She is a kind lady who likes to share her pears. But she also likes to be asked. Come on, let's go and say sorry to her and thank her for the pears." + +He took their hands and walked them to Mrs. Green's house. He knocked on the door and Mrs. Green opened it. She smiled and said, "Hello, neighbor. What can I do for you?" + +Their dad said, "Hello, Mrs. Green. I came to apologize for my twins. They ate some of your pears without asking. They are very sorry and want to thank you for the pears." + +Mrs. Green looked at the twins and saw their sticky faces and hands. She laughed and said, "Oh, don't worry, neighbor. I don't mind. I have plenty of pears and I'm happy to share them. They are very sweet, aren't they?" + +The twins nodded and said, "Yes, Mrs. Green. They are very sweet. Thank you for the pears. We are sorry for not asking." + +Mrs. Green said, "You are welcome, my dears. And it's OK. You are young and curious. Just remember to ask next time. And here, take some more pears for later. They are good for you." + +She gave them a basket of pears and hugged them. The twins hugged her back and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Green. You are very kind." + +Their dad thanked her too and said, "You are very generous, Mrs. Green. We appreciate your kindness. And look, I have repaired the bike. The twins can ride it again." + +He showed them the bike with a new tube and a pump. The twins were very happy and said, "Yay, dad, you are the best! Thank you for repairing the bike. Can we ride it now?" + +Their dad said, "Yes, you can. But be careful and don't go too fast. And remember to share the bike and the pears. Sharing is caring." + +He helped them on the bike and watched them ride away. He smiled and said, "They are such good kids. I love them so much." + +He waved to Mrs. Green and went back to his house. He was a wealthy man, but he knew that his real wealth was his family. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play at the park. They liked to slide on the big slide, swing on the swings, and climb on the monkey bars. One day, they saw a new toy at the park. It was a horse that you could ride on. It had a coin slot and a button. + +"Wow, look at that horse!" Tom said. "Let's try it!" + +Sam nodded and ran to the horse. He put a coin in the slot and pressed the button. The horse started to move up and down and make noises. Sam smiled and pretended he was a cowboy. + +Tom waited for his turn. He wanted to ride the horse too. But Sam did not get off the horse. He put another coin in the slot and pressed the button again. And again. And again. + +"Sam, can I have a turn?" Tom asked. + +"No, it's my horse!" Sam said. "Go play with something else!" + +Tom felt sad and angry. He walked away and looked for another toy. He saw the big slide and decided to slide on it. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. He was about to slide down when he heard a loud bang. + +He looked back and saw that the horse had stopped moving. It was broken. Sam was crying and shouting. + +"Help! My horse is broken! It won't move! It won't make noises! What happened?" + +Tom got off the slide and ran to Sam. He saw that the coin slot was jammed and the button was stuck. He tried to help Sam, but he could not fix the horse. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Tom said. "Maybe you put too many coins in the slot. Maybe you pressed the button too hard. Maybe you should have shared the horse with me." + +Sam looked at Tom and realized he was right. He had been selfish and greedy. He had not been a good friend. He felt sorry and ashamed. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sam said. "You're right. I should have shared the horse with you. I was not a good friend. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom smiled and hugged Sam. He forgave him and said they were still friends. They decided to play with another toy together. They learned that sharing is caring and that being a good friend is more fun than having a broken horse. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play in the park with their ball and their dog. One day, they saw a big star in the sky. It was very bright and shiny. + +"Look, Lily, a star!" Tom said. "Do you know what stars are for?" + +"No, what are they for?" Lily asked. + +"They are for making wishes. If you close your eyes and say what you want, the star will hear you and make it come true. Do you want to try?" Tom said. + +"Okay, let's try!" Lily said. They both closed their eyes and said their wishes. + +"I wish for a new bike!" Tom said. + +"I wish for a new doll!" Lily said. + +They opened their eyes and looked at the star. It was still there, twinkling in the sky. + +"Do you think the star heard us?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe we have to wait for a while. Maybe the star is busy." Tom said. + +They decided to rest on the grass and watch the star. Their dog came and lay down next to them. They felt happy and sleepy. + +"Maybe the star will bring us our wishes tomorrow." Lily said. + +"Maybe. Or maybe we already have our wishes. We have each other, and our dog, and our ball. And we have the star to look at. Maybe that's enough." Tom said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. The star watched over them and smiled too. +Sam and Dad were in the car. They wanted to go to the park. But there was a lot of traffic on the road. Sam saw many cars and trucks and buses. He was bored and sad. + +"Dad, why are we not moving?" Sam asked. + +"Because there is too much traffic, Sam. We have to wait until it passes," Dad said. + +"But I want to go to the park now!" Sam said. + +"I know, Sam. Me too. But we have to be patient. Look, there is a big truck in front of us. Maybe it will pass soon and we can go faster," Dad said. + +Sam looked at the big truck. It had a picture of a cow on it. Sam liked cows. He wondered what was inside the truck. Maybe it was milk or cheese or ice cream. He hoped it was ice cream. He wanted some ice cream. + +The big truck moved a little bit. Sam and Dad moved a little bit too. Sam was happy. He thought they would pass the truck soon. But then the truck stopped again. And so did Sam and Dad. Sam was angry. He did not like the truck anymore. + +"Dad, why did the truck stop?" Sam asked. + +"Because there is a red light, Sam. We have to stop at the red light. It is the rule of the road," Dad said. + +"But I don't like the red light. I like the green light. The green light means go," Sam said. + +"I know, Sam. Me too. But we have to follow the rules. Look, the light will change soon and we can go again," Dad said. + +Sam looked at the light. It was still red. He did not think it would change soon. He thought it would stay red forever. He was very angry. He did not like the rules. He did not like the traffic. He did not like the truck. He did not like the cow. + +Sam shouted, "I hate the cow! The cow is bad! The cow is making us late! The cow is ruining our day!" + +Dad was surprised. He did not know why Sam hated the cow. He tried to calm him down. + +"Sam, don't say that. The cow is not bad. The cow is just doing its job. The cow is giving us milk and cheese and ice cream. The cow is our friend," Dad said. + +But Sam did not listen. He kept shouting. He was very loud. He was louder than the traffic. He was louder than the truck. He was louder than the cow. + +The cow heard Sam. The cow did not like Sam. The cow did not like being shouted at. The cow was angry too. The cow decided to do something. The cow kicked the back of the truck. The truck opened. The cow jumped out. The cow ran towards Sam and Dad. The cow was very fast. + +Sam and Dad saw the cow. They were scared. They did not know what to do. They could not move. They could not pass. They could only watch. + +The cow reached their car. The cow stopped. The cow looked at Sam. The cow mooed. The cow mooed very loud. The cow mooed louder than Sam. The cow mooed louder than the traffic. The cow mooed louder than the truck. The cow mooed louder than anything. + +Sam was quiet. He did not shout anymore. He did not hate the cow anymore. He was sorry. He was sorry for being angry. He was sorry for being loud. He was sorry for being rude. + +Sam said, "I'm sorry, cow. You are not bad. You are not making us late. You are not ruining our day. You are doing your job. You are giving us milk and cheese and ice cream. You are our friend." + +The cow heard Sam. The cow was happy. The cow forgave Sam. The cow nodded. The cow smiled. The cow gave Sam a lick. The cow gave Sam some ice cream. + +Sam was happy. He liked the cow. He liked the ice cream. He thanked the cow. He smiled. He licked the ice cream. + +Dad was happy too. He was happy that Sam and the cow were friends. He was happy that the traffic passed. He was happy that the light changed. He was happy that they could go to the park. + +Dad said, "Let's go, Sam. The park is waiting for us. And so is more ice cream." + +Sam and Dad drove away. The cow waved goodbye. The cow went back to the truck. The truck closed. The truck drove away. The end. +Sara liked to play in the mud. She had a big bucket and a small shovel. She scooped the mud and poured it into the bucket. She imagined she was making a cake for her teddy bear. + +She found some sticks and leaves and stones. She used them to decorate her cake. She was very creative. She made a candle out of a stick and a flower. She sang "Happy Birthday" to her teddy bear. + +She wanted to share her cake with her friend Tom. She called him to come and see. Tom came running. He saw the cake and smiled. He said it looked yummy. He imagined he was eating a slice. He pretended to chew and swallow. He said it was delicious. + +Sara and Tom laughed and clapped. They had fun playing in the mud. They imagined they were chefs and bakers. They were very happy. +Sara loves roses. She has a rose garden in her backyard. She waters the roses every day and talks to them. She thinks they are her friends. + +One day, Sara sees a rose that is brown and soft. She touches it and it falls off the stem. She is sad and scared. She runs to her mom and says, "Mom, my rose is rot! Why is it rot?" + +Her mom hugs her and says, "Don't worry, Sara. Roses are living things, like you and me. Sometimes they get old and sick and die. That's what rot means. It's not your fault. You are a good and helpful gardener." + +Sara feels a little better, but she still misses her rose. She asks her mom, "Can we get a new rose for the garden?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "Of course we can. Let's go to the flower shop and pick one. Maybe you can find a rose that is the same color as your dress." + +Sara nods and puts on her pink dress. She holds her mom's hand and walks to the flower shop. She sees many roses in different colors and sizes. She chooses a big and bright pink rose. She says, "This is the one. It's beautiful and happy. I will name it Rosey." + +Her mom buys the rose and helps Sara plant it in the garden. Sara waters it and says, "Hello, Rosey. Welcome to my garden. You are my new friend. I will take good care of you and you will not rot." + +Rosey seems to smile and nod. Sara feels happy and proud. She hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best and most helpful mom in the world." +Lily wanted to help Mom wrap the presents for Christmas. She liked the shiny paper and the ribbons. She picked up a big box and tried to cover it with paper. But the paper was too small and the box was too big. Lily felt frustrated. She tore the paper and threw it on the floor. + +"Mom, I can't do it!" she cried. + +Mom came over and hugged Lily. "It's okay, sweetie. Wrapping is hard. You need to measure the paper and cut it first. Do you want me to show you how?" + +Lily nodded. She watched Mom wrap the box neatly and tie a bow on top. Mom smiled and said, "This is for Grandma. She will love it. Do you want to write her name on the tag?" + +Lily took a marker and wrote "GMA" on the tag. She felt proud. She looked at the other presents. She saw one that had a picture of a reindeer on it. She loved reindeer. They had antlers and they pulled Santa's sleigh. + +"Mom, who is this for?" she asked, pointing at the reindeer present. + +Mom winked and said, "That's a secret. You'll find out on Christmas morning. But I'll give you a hint. It's for someone who has been very good this year." + +Lily gasped. She hoped it was for her. She loved surprises. She hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. I can't wait for Christmas!" +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and make up stories. One day, they find a big boot in the closet. It is brown and shiny and has a buckle. + +"Wow, look at this boot!" Lily says. "It is so clean and pretty. I want to wear it." + +"But it is too big for you," Ben says. "You will fall down and hurt yourself." + +"No, I won't. I will be careful. And I will perform a show for you with the boot. You can be the audience and clap for me." + +Lily puts on the boot and tries to walk. But it is very heavy and hard to move. She wobbles and stumbles and falls on the floor. The boot makes a loud noise. + +"Ouch! That hurts!" Lily cries. "The boot is too big for me. You were right, Ben." + +Ben runs to help Lily. He takes off the boot and hugs her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" he asks. "I'm sorry you fell down." + +"I'm okay, Ben. Thank you for helping me. The boot was not a good toy. It was too big and heavy and noisy." + +"Maybe we can find another toy to play with. Something smaller and lighter and quieter." + +"Okay, Ben. That sounds good. Let's go and look for another toy. Maybe we can find a ball or a doll or a car." + +Lily and Ben put the boot back in the closet and go to look for another toy. They are happy to play together and make up stories. They are good twins. +Tommy liked to play with his toy monkey. He named it Bobo and took it everywhere. He hugged Bobo, fed Bobo, and talked to Bobo. Bobo was his best friend. + +One day, Tommy saw a big tree in the park. He wanted to climb it with Bobo. He put Bobo in his backpack and ran to the tree. He grabbed a branch and pulled himself up. He felt like a real monkey. + +He climbed higher and higher, until he reached the top. He looked around and saw the sky, the birds, and the other kids. He was so happy. He took Bobo out of his backpack and said, "Look, Bobo, we are on top of the world!" + +But then, he heard his mom calling him. "Tommy, come down, it's time to go home!" She sounded worried. Tommy looked down and saw how far he was from the ground. He felt scared. He hugged Bobo and said, "How do we get down, Bobo?" + +Bobo did not answer. He was just a toy. But Tommy felt Bobo's fur and heard Bobo's squeak. He felt Bobo's love. He felt brave. He said, "Don't worry, Bobo, we can do it. We are monkeys!" + +He carefully climbed down the tree, one branch at a time. He reached the ground and ran to his mom. She hugged him and said, "I'm so glad you're safe, Tommy. You are a very good climber, but you have to be careful. Trees are not for monkeys, they are for birds." + +Tommy smiled and said, "But mom, I am a monkey. And so is Bobo. See?" He showed her his toy monkey. She laughed and said, "You are a very cheerful monkey, Tommy. And so is Bobo. But you are also a very smart boy. And you know what? Smart boys grow up to be smart men." + +Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I know. And when I grow up, I will take Bobo with me. He is my best friend." He hugged Bobo and said, "Right, Bobo?" Bobo squeaked and nodded. They were both very happy. +Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. They wanted to go on the slide, but there was a problem. The slide was too high for them to climb. They tried to jump, but they could not reach. They tried to use a stick, but it was too short. They felt sad and wanted to give up. + +Then, they saw a boy who was smaller than them. He had a pack of gum in his hand. He smiled and said, "Hello, do you want some gum?" Tim and Sue nodded and took a piece each. The boy said, "This is not ordinary gum. This is mighty gum. It can make you strong and brave. If you chew it, you can do anything you want." + +Tim and Sue were curious and excited. They chewed the gum and felt a tingling in their mouths. They felt a surge of energy and confidence. They looked at the slide and said, "Let's go!" They ran to the slide and started to crawl up the steps. They crawled faster and faster, until they reached the top. They felt proud and happy. They waved to the boy and said, "Thank you for the mighty gum!" + +The boy smiled and said, "You're welcome. But remember, the gum is not really mighty. You are mighty. You have the power to overcome any challenge. You just need to believe in yourself and try your best. The gum is only a reminder of that." Tim and Sue understood and thanked the boy again. They slid down the slide and had a lot of fun. They learned that they could do anything they set their minds to, as long as they had courage and determination. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But Ben saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. He said to Lily, "Come on, let's go up there. It will be fun." + +Lily was scared. She said, "No, Ben, it's too high. We might fall and hurt ourselves. Let's stay here and play with the ball." + +Ben did not listen. He said, "You are a baby. I am brave. I will show you." He ran to the hill and started to climb. Lily watched him from the swing. She hoped he would be careful. + +But Ben was not careful. He slipped on a rock and fell down. He cried out loud. He hurt his arm. It was bleeding and swollen. Lily ran to him and tried to help him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry you fell. Let me see your arm." + +Ben was in pain. He said, "It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot. I want to go home. I want my mom." + +Lily said, "Don't worry, Ben. We will go home. I will get our bikes. Your mom will heal your arm. She will make it better. She will give you a hug and a kiss and a band-aid." + +Ben said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I called you a baby. You are not a baby. You are brave too." + +Lily smiled. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. We are still friends. But next time, let's not climb the big hill. It's too dangerous. Let's play something else. Something different." +Lily loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She likes to paint flowers and trees and animals. She paints on paper and on the wall. Sometimes Mommy gets mad when she paints on the wall. + +One day, Lily finds a phone on the table. It is Mommy's phone. It has a big screen and many buttons. Lily thinks it is a toy. She wants to paint on it. She takes a red brush and dips it in the paint. She makes a big red dot on the screen. Then she takes a blue brush and makes a blue line. She smiles. She thinks it is pretty. + +Mommy comes into the room. She sees Lily and the phone. She gasps. She is very angry. She takes the phone from Lily and wipes it with a cloth. She says, "Lily, what did you do? This is not a toy. This is my phone. You ruined it. You are a wild child. Go to your room now." + +Lily feels sad. She does not understand why Mommy is angry. She likes to paint. She thinks the phone is pretty. She cries. She goes to her room. She hugs her teddy bear. She says, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I love you." +Anna liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy. Anna wanted to touch it. + +"Hello, caterpillar," Anna said. "Can I be your friend?" + +The caterpillar looked at Anna. It did not say anything. It just moved its head. + +"Please, can I hold you?" Anna asked. She reached out her hand. + +The caterpillar was scared. It did not want to be held. It wanted to be on the leaf. It curled up into a ball. + +"No, no, no!" the caterpillar said. "Go away!" + +Anna was surprised. She did not mean to make the caterpillar angry. She felt ashamed. She pulled back her hand. + +"I'm sorry, caterpillar," Anna said. "I didn't know you didn't like me. I just wanted to be nice." + +The caterpillar felt sorry too. It did not mean to be rude. It just wanted to be safe. It uncurled from the ball. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," the caterpillar said. "I didn't know you wanted to be nice. I just got scared. You are very big and I am very small." + +Anna smiled. She understood. She was big and the caterpillar was small. She had to be gentle and careful. + +"Can we still be friends?" Anna asked. + +The caterpillar nodded. It smiled too. + +"Yes, we can be friends," the caterpillar said. "But please don't hold me. Just look at me and talk to me." + +Anna agreed. She did not hold the caterpillar. She just looked at it and talked to it. They became friends. They learned from each other. Anna learned about the caterpillar's life. The caterpillar learned about Anna's life. They were happy. +Tom is a big boy. He likes to work with his dad. His dad is a teach. He helps other big boys and girls learn new things. Tom wants to learn new things too. + +One day, Tom goes to work with his dad. He sees many books and toys and pictures. He wants to play with them. But his dad says, "No, Tom. These are for my students. You have to be quiet and sit here. I have to work." + +Tom is sad. He does not want to sit. He wants to work too. He sees a ball on the floor. He picks it up and throws it. The ball hits a window. The window breaks. Tom hears a loud noise. He is scared. + +His dad runs to him. He is angry. He says, "Tom, what did you do? You broke the window. You are a bad boy. You have to say sorry. You have to pay for the window. You have to work hard." + +Tom feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to work with you. I wanted to learn new things. But I am too small. I am weak. I can't do anything." + +His dad hugs him. He says, "I'm sorry too, Tom. I was too harsh. You are not a bad boy. You are not weak. You are curious and brave. You can do many things. But you have to be careful and listen. You have to respect other people's things. You have to work smart, not hard." + +Tom nods. He says, "I understand, dad. I will be careful and listen. I will respect other people's things. I will work smart, not hard. Can you teach me some new things?" + +His dad smiles. He says, "Of course, Tom. I will teach you some new things. But first, we have to clean up the mess. We have to work together." + +Tom and his dad work together. They clean up the glass and the ball. They say sorry to the other teach and the students.

It could clap its flippers and make funny noises. + +"Look, mom, the seal is so smart and cute!" Sara said. + +"Yes, it is, honey. Do you know where the seal lives?" mom asked. + +"In the water, mom. The water is its home," Ben said. + +"That's right, Ben. The seal lives in the water, but it also needs land to rest and play. The zoo gives the seal a nice place to live, with water and land and toys and food," mom explained. + +The seal saw the children and waved its flipper at them. Sara and Ben waved back and laughed. They wanted to give the seal a hug, but mom said they had to stay behind the fence. + +"Can we feed the seal, mom?" Sara asked. + +"Sorry, honey, we can't. The zookeepers feed the seal. They know what the seal likes and needs to eat. The seal eats fish and squid and crabs. Those are very expensive foods. The seal is very wealthy," mom said. + +"What does wealthy mean, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Wealthy means having a lot of money or things that are worth a lot of money. The seal doesn't have money, but it has a lot of food that costs a lot of money. The zoo pays for the seal's food, because the zoo cares for the seal and wants it to be healthy and happy," mom said. + +"Oh, I see. The seal is lucky to have the zoo and the zookeepers. They are very kind and generous," Ben said. + +"Yes, they are, Ben. And we are lucky to see the seal and learn about it. The seal is very special and beautiful," mom said. + +They watched the seal for a while longer, then mom said it was time to go. Sara and Ben said goodbye to the seal and thanked it for the show. The seal nodded and blew a kiss. Sara and Ben smiled and blew a kiss back. + +They walked to the exit, where mom gave them each a tissue. They wiped their noses and hands, and threw the tissues in the trash. + +"Did you have fun at the zoo, kids?" mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we had a lot of fun. We love the zoo and the animals, especially the seal," Sara and Ben said. + +"I'm glad you had fun, kids. I love you very much," mom said. + +"We love you too, mom," Sara and Ben said. + +They hugged mom and got in the car. They drove home, talking about the seal and the other animals they saw. They were happy and tired, and soon they fell asleep. Mom smiled and drove on, feeling proud and grateful. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They share a room. Tim likes to tease Sam.

They make him a snowball and throw it to each other. They laugh and have fun. They love winter. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their vehicles in the big tub. They had cars, trucks, boats and planes. They made noises and pretended they were driving or flying. Sometimes they splashed water on each other and laughed. + +One day, Tom wanted to play with Lily's boat. He asked her, "Can I have your boat, please?" Lily said, "No, this is my boat.

This is not nice!" + +They started to fight over the boat. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They splashed water everywhere. The water went out of the tub and onto the floor. It made a big mess.

He pushes the door open and walks into the room. He sees the big stack of blocks and smiles. He runs towards it and kicks it with his foot. The blocks fall down and make a loud noise. + +Anna is very sad and angry. She cries and shouts at Ben. "You are mean! You broke my castle! I hate you!" + +Ben laughs and runs out of the room. He does not care that he hurt Anna's feelings. + +Anna picks up the pink block and hugs it. She wishes she had a friend who would play with her and not break her things. + +She hears another knock on the door. It is her mom. She sees Anna crying and the mess of blocks on the floor. + +"What happened, sweetie?" Mom asks. + +Anna tells her what Ben did. Mom frowns and says, "That was not nice of Ben.

Sometimes they would try to score a goal between two trees. + +"Look, Ben, I can kick the ball very far!" Anna said, and kicked the ball with all her might. + +"Wow, Anna, you are good!" Ben said, and ran after the ball. He wanted to catch it and kick it back to Anna. + +But the ball went too far and rolled out of the park. It went into the street, where there were many cars and buses. Ben did not see the cars and buses. He only saw the ball. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna shouted. "It is not safe!" + +But Ben did not hear Anna. He rushed to the street, hoping to get the ball. He did not look left or right. He did not see the big red bus that was coming fast. + +The bus driver saw Ben. He was a thoughtful man. He did not want to hurt Ben. He honked his horn and tried to stop the bus. But the bus was too big and too fast. It could not stop in time. + +Anna saw the bus. She was very scared. She thought Ben was going to be hit by the bus. She screamed and cried. + +But then, something happened. A figure came out of nowhere and grabbed Ben. It was a man.

They decided to play with their ball in the park, where it was safe and fun. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and to listen to Anna. +Lily and her aunt were at the park. They liked to play on the swings and slide. Lily saw a big dog running towards them. She was scared of the dog. She ran to her aunt and hugged her. + +"Don't worry, Lily. I will protect you from the dog. He is just playing. He won't hurt us," her aunt said. + +But the dog was not playing. He was angry and hungry. He barked and growled at them. He jumped on Lily's aunt and bit her arm. Lily's aunt screamed and fell down. Lily cried and tried to help her aunt. + +"Go away, bad dog! Leave my aunt alone!" Lily shouted. + +But the dog did not go away. He bit Lily's leg and dragged her away. Lily's aunt was too hurt to get up. She watched in horror as the dog took Lily to the woods. She called for help, but no one heard her. + +Lily and her aunt never saw each other again. They were not comfortable or happy. They were sad and scared. The dog was mean and cruel.

Do you want to play?" he asked. + +"Yes, please. But first, look at my shoes. I polished them. They are very shiny," Lily said. + +Ben looked at her shoes. He nodded. "They are very shiny. They are nice shoes. But are they not too tight?" he asked. + +Lily shook her head. "No, they are not too tight. They are just right. Come on, let's go to the park," she said. + +They went to the park. They played on the swings and the slide. They had fun. But Lily's feet started to hurt. Her shoes were too tight. She did not want to tell Ben. She wanted to keep playing. + +They saw a big puddle. Ben ran to it. He jumped in it. He splashed water everywhere. He laughed. + +"Come on, Lily. Jump in the puddle. It's fun," he said. + +Lily hesitated. She did not want to get her shoes wet. She did not want to ruin them. But she did not want to miss the fun. She ran to the puddle. She jumped in it. + +But when she landed, she felt a pain in her foot. She looked down. She saw a big hole in her shoe. She saw her toe sticking out. She saw a print of her shoe in the mud. + +She cried. "Oh, no. My shoe. My shiny shoe. It's broken. It's dirty. It's gone," she said. + +Ben stopped laughing. He saw Lily's shoe. He felt sorry for her. He went to her. He hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to make you sad. Your shoe was very shiny. But it was too tight. Maybe you need a new shoe. A bigger shoe. A shoe that fits you," he said. + +Lily sniffled. She nodded. She wiped her tears. She smiled at Ben. + +"Maybe you are right. Maybe I need a new shoe. A bigger shoe. A shoe that fits me. But can we still play?" she asked. + +Ben smiled back. He nodded. He took her hand. He helped her out of the puddle. + +"Of course we can still play. We are friends. And friends play together. No matter what shoes they wear," he said. +Lily was very excited for her birthday. She wanted to have a big cake, lots of balloons, and many friends to play with. She helped her mom and dad decorate the house with colorful paper and ribbons. She also made some creative cards for her guests, drawing flowers and hearts on them. + +But soon, Lily felt very tired. She had woken up early and had done a lot of work. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. Her mom noticed and said, "Lily, why don't you take a nap before the party? You will have more energy and fun later." + +Lily did not want to nap. She wanted to stay awake and see her friends. She said, "No, mom, I'm not sleepy. I want to play now." She tried to run away, but her mom caught her and hugged her. She said, "Lily, I know you are excited, but trust me, a nap will make you feel better. You don't want to be cranky and miss your birthday, do you?" + +Lily thought about it. She did not want to be cranky and miss her birthday. She wanted to be happy and enjoy her cake and balloons and friends. She nodded and said, "Okay, mom, I will nap. But only for a little bit." Her mom smiled and said, "That's a good girl. I will wake you up when the party starts. I love you, Lily." She kissed her and tucked her in her bed. + +Lily closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Tom said. + +They saw something else in the dirt. It was round and gray and had holes in it. They did not know what it was. + +"Maybe it is a hat for the worm," Tom said. + +He picked it up and put it on the worm's head. The worm wiggled and tried to get it off. + +"Or maybe it is a toy for us," Mia said. + +She took it from Tom and blew into one of the holes. Smoke came out of the other holes. It smelled bad and made them cough. + +"Yuck, what is this?" Mia said. + +They heard a loud voice behind them. It was Dad. He looked angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my ashtray?" he said. + +He took it from Mia and threw it in the trash. + +"Sorry, Dad, we did not know," Tom said. + +"We were just playing," Mia said. + +Dad sighed and shook his head. + +"That is not a toy, kids. That is an ashtray. It is for grown-ups who smoke. Smoking is bad for you. It makes you sick and makes your teeth yellow. You should never touch it or play with it. Do you understand?" he said. + +Tom and Mia nodded. They felt frightened. They did not want to make Dad mad or get sick. + +"OK, good. Now go wash your hands and face. And next time, ask me before you dig in the dirt. You might find something dangerous or dirty," Dad said. + +He gave them a hug and a kiss. + +"OK, Dad, we will. We love you," Tom and Mia said. + +They ran to the bathroom and washed up. They decided to play with something else. They did not want to see the ashtray ever again. +Jen and Tom are friends.

The man is wearing a blue shirt. It says "Zoo Keeper." + +"Excuse me, sir," Jen says. "Is this your penguin?" + +The man nods. He smiles. He walks to the penguin. He gives it a fish. The penguin eats the fish. It makes a happy noise. It sounds like "squawk, squawk, squawk." + +"Sorry, kids," the man says. "This penguin escaped from the zoo. I came to get it back. It must be cold here. The weather is bitter." + +Jen and Tom feel sorry for the penguin. They touch its feathers. They are soft and wet. + +"Can we help you take it back?" Jen asks. + +"Sure, you can," the man says. "You can jog with me and the penguin. It will be fun." + +Jen and Tom agree. They jog with the man and the penguin. They jog to the zoo. They jog and wave. They jog and smile. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the sand near the sea. They made castles and bridges and tunnels with their buckets and shovels. One day, they saw something shiny and round in the water. They ran to see what it was. + +"Look, Sam, it's a big ball!" Lily said. + +"Maybe it's a toy. Let's get it!" Sam said. + +They waded into the water and reached for the ball. But it was not a ball. It was an octopus. The octopus was scared and angry. It wrapped its long arms around Sam and Lily and pulled them under the water. + +"Help! Help!" Sam and Lily cried. + +A man who was fishing nearby heard their cries. He threw his net over the octopus and pulled it out of the water. He freed Sam and Lily from its grip and carried them to the shore. + +"Are you okay, kids?" the man asked. + +"Yes, thank you, mister," Sam said. + +"Thank you, thank you," Lily said. + +The man smiled and said, "You're welcome. But you should be careful. The sea is full of dangers. You should never touch anything you don't know. And you should always stay close to the land. The water is high and strong. It can sweep you away." + +Sam and Lily nodded and said, "We're sorry. We won't do it again." + +They hugged the man and ran back to their parents. They learned their lesson. They never played too far from the shore. And they never stirred the octopus again. +Tom and Lily liked to go to the zoo with their mom and dad. They liked to see the big animals and the small animals, and hear the noises they made. They liked to feed the ducks and the goats, and watch the monkeys play. + +One day, they saw a new animal at the zoo. It was a big, gray animal with a long nose and big ears. It was called an elephant. Tom and Lily wanted to get closer to the elephant, but their mom and dad said they had to stay behind the fence. + +Tom and Lily waited until their mom and dad were looking at the map. Then they ran to the fence and climbed over it. They wanted to touch the elephant and say hello. But the elephant did not like that. It was scared of the children. It made a loud noise and lifted its nose. It pushed the fence with its nose and broke it. Then it ran away. + +Tom and Lily were very scared too. They saw the elephant escape from the zoo. They saw the people scream and run. They saw the zookeepers chase the elephant. They wanted to go back to their mom and dad, but they did not know how. + +They saw a big, green bus near the fence. It had a sign that said "Zoo Tour". They thought maybe the bus could take them back to their mom and dad. They ran to the bus and got inside. But the bus was not ordinary. It was a magic bus. It could fly and talk and go to different places. It said "Hello, children. Where do you want to go?" Tom and Lily did not know what to say. They just wanted to go home. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a secret spot under a big tree, where they hid their toys and snacks. They always shared and helped each other. They were reliable friends. + +One day, they saw something shiny in the grass. It was a small ball that glowed in different colors. It looked very pretty and fun. Lila and Ben felt an urge to touch it and play with it. They ran towards it and picked it up. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lila said. "It's so bright and sparkly!" + +"Let me see!" Ben said. "Can I hold it for a while?" + +They took turns holding the ball and watching it glow. They did not notice that the ball was getting hotter and hotter. They did not hear the hissing sound it made. They did not see the smoke coming out of it. + +Suddenly, the ball exploded in their hands. It made a loud boom and a bright flash. Lila and Ben screamed and dropped the ball. They felt a sharp pain in their fingers and palms. They saw blood and blisters on their skin. They cried and hugged each other. + +They did not know that the ball was a firework that someone had left in the park. They did not know that it was dangerous and could hurt them. They did not know that they should have left it alone and told an adult. They learned a hard lesson that day. They wished they had never seen the ball. They wished they had stayed in their secret spot. They wished they had listened to their reliable friends. +Sam and Mia were friends who liked to play soccer. They wanted to win a trophy for their team. They practiced a lot and had fun. + +One day, they had a big game against another team. The other team was bad. They pushed and kicked and cheated. Sam and Mia tried to be good and fair, but they were losing. + +At halftime, they were sad and tired. They went to their bench to drink some water. But they saw something strange. Their trophy was gone! Someone had taken it. + +"Who did this?" Sam asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe the bad team," Mia said. + +"We have to find it. It is ours. We worked hard for it," Sam said. + +They decided to search for their trophy. They looked around the field, under the benches, behind the trees. They asked the other players and the coach, but no one had seen it. + +They were about to give up, when they heard a noise. It came from the other team's locker room. They sneaked over and peeked inside. They saw the bad team's captain holding their trophy and laughing. + +"Look what I found. This is ours now. We are the best," he said. + +Sam and Mia were angry. They ran inside and grabbed their trophy back. + +"Hey, give that back. That's mine," the bad captain said. + +"No, it's not. It's ours. You stole it. You are bad and mean," Sam said. + +"You can't prove it. You have no evidence," the bad captain said. + +"Yes, we do. We have you. We heard you say you found it. That's evidence," Mia said. + +The bad captain was quiet. He knew he was caught. He looked ashamed. + +Sam and Mia took their trophy and ran out. They showed it to their team and their coach. They were happy and proud. + +They went back to the field and played the second half. They played well and fair. They scored many goals and won the game. + +They lifted their trophy and cheered. They had earned it. They were the best. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play near the lake. They saw a fisherman with a big hat and a long stick. He threw a string into the water and waited. + +"Can we see your fish?" Lila asked the fisherman. + +"Sure, come closer," the fisherman said. He pulled the string and a shiny fish came out. "This is a unique fish. It has blue scales and red fins. Do you want to touch it?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said. He reached out his hand and touched the fish. It was wet and slippery. He giggled. + +"Be careful, don't soak your clothes," the fisherman warned. + +But it was too late. The fish wriggled and splashed water on Ben's shirt and pants. Ben was soaked. + +"Oh no!" Lila said. "Mom will be mad. You need to change your clothes." + +"It's okay," Ben said. "It was fun. Thank you, fisherman." + +"You're welcome, kids," the fisherman said. "Have a nice day." + +Lila and Ben ran back to their house. They told Mom about the unique fish and the fisherman. Mom was not mad. She smiled and gave them dry clothes. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. They saw a big squash growing on a vine. It was green and round and had stripes. + +"Look, Tom, a squash!" Sara said. "Can we pick it?" + +Tom shook his head. "No, Sara, we have to wait. Mom said the squash is not ready yet. It has to get bigger and orange." + +Sara pouted. She wanted to pick the squash. She thought it looked good. She reached out her hand to touch it. + +"Stop, Sara!" Tom said. "You will hurt the squash. It needs the vine to grow. Come, let's play with something else." + +He pulled Sara away from the squash. He showed her his toy truck. It was red and shiny and had wheels. Sara liked the truck. She forgot about the squash. + +They played with the truck for a while. They made it go vroom and beep. They had fun. + +Then they heard Mom calling them. "Sara, Tom, come inside. It's time for lunch." + +They ran to the house. Mom had made them sandwiches and soup. They were hungry and ate them all. + +"Mom, can we have some squash?" Sara asked. + +Mom smiled. "Not today, Sara. The squash is still growing. But maybe in a few weeks, we can have a brilliant squash pie. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Tom nodded. They liked pie. They said thank you to Mom and gave her a hug. They were happy. +Lily loves her doll. She calls her doll Anna. Anna has long hair and a pink dress. Lily likes to brush Anna's hair and play tea party with her. + +One day, Lily sees a big bug on the floor. The bug has many legs and a hard shell. Lily is scared of the bug. She runs to her mom and says, "Mom, mom, there is a bug in my room! It is big and ugly!" + +Mom goes to Lily's room and sees the bug. She says, "Don't worry, Lily, it is just a beetle. It will not hurt you. It is looking for food and water. Let's take it outside and let it go." + +Mom picks up the beetle with a paper and takes it to the garden. Lily follows her with Anna. Mom puts the beetle on a leaf and says, "Bye, bye, beetle. Have a nice day." + +Lily looks at the beetle and says, "Bye, bye, beetle. You are fast and shiny. But you are not as pretty as Anna. Anna is my best friend." + +Lily blinks her eyes and smiles. She hugs Anna and says, "I love you, Anna. You are soft and sweet. And you never scare me." +Lily liked to sew. She had a box with many needles and threads. She made clothes for her dolls and animals. She was very happy and healthy. + +One day, she wanted to sew a new dress for her bear. She took a needle and a pink thread. She cut a piece of cloth. She started to sew. But she did not pay attention to where she put the needle. + +She sewed and sewed. She finished the dress. She put it on her bear. She smiled. She looked for the needle. She could not find it. She looked in the box. She looked on the table. She looked on the floor. She could not find it. She was sad and scared. + +She ran to her mom. She told her what happened. Her mom hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. We will find the needle. But you have to be careful. Needles are sharp. They can hurt you or someone else. You have to put them back in the box when you are done. That is the safe and smart thing to do." + +They went back to Lily's room. They searched for the needle. They found it under the bed. Lily was relieved. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was not careful. I will put the needle back in the box. I will not lose it again." Her mom said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You learned your lesson. You are a good and healthy girl." They hugged and smiled. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was red and white and looked like a hat. + +"Wow, look at that mushroom!" Anna said. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Can we touch it?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is not a good mushroom. Maybe it is a bad mushroom," Anna said. + +They went closer to the mushroom. They saw something shiny on top of it. It was a small car. It had four wheels and a door and a window. + +"Who put a car on the mushroom?" Ben wondered. + +"Maybe it is a magic car. Maybe it can drive by itself," Anna guessed. + +They heard a beep from the car. They saw a little mouse inside. The mouse had a hat and a scarf and a bag. He looked at Anna and Ben and smiled. + +"Hello, children. Do you like my car?" the mouse asked. + +Anna and Ben were confused. They did not know how the mouse could talk. They did not know how the mouse could drive. They did not know why the mouse had a car on a mushroom. + +"Your car is very nice, but why is it on a mushroom?" Anna asked. + +"Because it is a mushroom car, of course. It can drive on any mushroom. It is very fun and fast," the mouse explained. + +"Can we try it?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, why not? Hop in. I will show you how to drive a mushroom car," the mouse said. + +Anna and Ben climbed into the car. The mouse gave them each a hat and a scarf and a bag. He told them to buckle up and hold on. He started the car and drove away. The car zoomed from one mushroom to another. Anna and Ben laughed and cheered. They had never seen such a strange and wonderful thing. They drove a mushroom car with a mouse. +Lily was playing in the snow with her big brother Tom. She liked to make snowballs and throw them at Tom, but he was faster and stronger. He could make bigger snowballs and throw them farther. Sometimes he hit Lily and made her fall. Then he would laugh and help her up. + +Lily saw something red in the snow. It was a mitten. She picked it up and looked at it. It was soft and warm. She wondered who it belonged to. Maybe someone lost it and was cold. She wanted to find them and give it back. + +"Hey, Lily, what do you have there?" Tom asked. He came closer and saw the mitten. "That's not yours. Where did you get it?" + +"I found it in the snow. It's a mitten. Someone lost it. I want to find them and give it back," Lily said. + +Tom looked around and saw a little boy sitting on a bench. He was wearing a red hat and a red scarf, but only one red mitten. He looked sad and shy. He did not play with anyone. + +"Maybe it's his," Tom said. He pointed at the boy. "Let's go and ask him." + +Lily nodded and followed Tom. She held the mitten in her hand. She felt nervous and curious. She hoped the boy would be happy to see his mitten. + +"Hi, what's your name?" Tom asked the boy. + +The boy looked up and saw Tom and Lily. He saw the mitten in Lily's hand. He smiled and said, "I'm Ben. That's my mitten. Thank you for finding it." + +Lily smiled back and gave him the mitten. She said, "You're welcome. I'm Lily. This is my brother Tom. Do you want to play with us?" + +Ben nodded and put on his mitten. He said, "Yes, please. I'm new here. I don't have any friends." + +Tom said, "Well, now you do. Come on, let's make a snowman." + +Lily, Tom, and Ben ran to the snow and started to roll big balls. They had fun and became friends. They did not feel cold or shy anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were walking in the park with their mom. They saw many trees, some big and some small, some green and some red. Anna liked the red trees best, because they looked like fire. Ben liked the green trees best, because they looked like grass. + +"Look, mom, look!" Anna said, pointing to a huge tree. "It is so big and red! I admire it! Can we go closer?" + +"Sure, sweetie, let's go," mom said, holding Anna's hand. "But be careful, don't touch the tree. It might have bugs or thorns." + +They walked to the huge tree and looked up. It was taller than their house, and had many branches and leaves. Anna saw a bird's nest on one of the branches, and heard the bird singing. She smiled and clapped her hands. + +"Wow, this tree is amazing!" Ben said, joining them. "It is so big and green! I admire it too! Can we climb it?" + +"No, honey, we can't climb it," mom said, holding Ben's hand. "It is too high and dangerous. We can only look at it and enjoy it." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They understood that the tree was not for playing, but for admiring. They hugged mom and thanked her for taking them to the park. They felt happy and curious, and wanted to see more trees. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill covered with snow. They wanted to slide down the hill on their sleds. + +"Let's go, Sara!" Tom said. "It looks fun!" + +"Wait, Tom," Sara said. "I have a different opinion. The snow is icy and hard. It might hurt us if we fall." + +Tom did not listen to Sara. He thought she was scared. He grabbed his sled and ran to the top of the hill. He did not see the big rock hidden under the snow. + +"Look at me, Sara!" Tom shouted. "I'm going fast!" + +Sara watched Tom from the bottom of the hill. She felt worried. She tried to warn Tom, but he did not hear her. + +"Tom, stop!" Sara yelled. "There is a rock!" + +But it was too late. Tom hit the rock with his sled and flew into the air. He landed on the ground with a thud. He cried out in pain. + +Sara ran to Tom and hugged him. She saw that he had a cut on his forehead and a bruise on his arm. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sara said. "Are you okay?" + +Tom nodded, but he felt sorry too. He realized that Sara was right. The hill was too icy and dangerous. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Tom said. "You had a good opinion. I should have listened to you." + +Sara smiled and helped Tom get up. They decided to go back home and have some hot chocolate. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect each other's opinions and to be careful on icy hills. +Once upon a time, there was a popular whale. Everywhere it swam the other animals admired it.

But no matter what she did, he was still very rude. + +Maria was very sad and she missed her dad. She wished he could be nice again, like he was before he went away to be a soldier.
