+Lily was a bird who lived in a cage. She did not like the cage. She wanted to fly in the sky and see new things. But her owner, Tom, kept her in the cage all day. He gave her food and water, but he did not play with her or talk to her.
+
+One day, Tom left the cage open by mistake. Lily saw her chance to escape. She flew out of the cage and out of the window. She felt dizzy from the fresh air and the bright sun. She saw trees and flowers and other birds. She felt happy and free.
+
+She flew to a big tree and landed on a branch. She saw a blue bird next to her. The blue bird said, "Hello, who are you?"
+
+Lily said, "I'm Lily, I'm a bird who lived in a cage. But I ran away. I want to see the world."
+
+The blue bird said, "I'm Sky, I'm a bird who lives in the tree. I can show you the world. Come with me."
+
+Lily and Sky flew together and saw many things. They saw a pond with fish and frogs, a field with cows and sheep, a hill with a kite and a windmill. They sang and played and had fun.
+
+But then Lily saw something that made her sad. She saw Tom, her owner, looking for her. He had a net and a box. He was calling her name.
+
+Lily sighed. She liked Sky and the world, but she also missed Tom. He was her friend, even if he kept her in the cage. She did not know what to do.
+
+Sky saw Lily's face and said, "What's wrong, Lily?"
+
+Lily said, "That's Tom, my owner. He's looking for me. He wants me back in the cage."
+
+Sky said, "But you don't want to go back, do you? You want to stay with me and be free, right?"
+
+Lily said, "I don't know. I like you and being free, but I also like Tom and being safe. I'm confused."
+
+Sky said, "You have to choose, Lily. You can't have both. You can either go back to Tom and the cage, or stay with me and the world. What do you want?"
+
+Lily thought hard. She looked at Tom and the cage, and she looked at Sky and the world. She made her choice. She said, "I want..."
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, Lily had a new idea. She said, "Let's play marriage. You be the groom and I be the bride. We can match our clothes and rings."
+
+Tom was confused. He did not know what marriage was. He asked, "What is marriage? Why do we have to match?"
+
+Lily said, "Marriage is when two people love each other and live together. They match because they are a pair. Like these dolls. See, they have the same dress and suit and rings. They are married."
+
+Tom looked at the dolls. He did not like the dress and suit and rings. He liked his blue shirt and jeans and watch. He said, "I don't want to match. I don't want to play marriage. I want to play cars."
+
+Lily was angry. She said, "You have to play marriage. It is fun. You have to match me. Or I will not be your friend."
+
+Tom was scared. He did not want to lose his friend. He said, "Okay, okay. I will play marriage. I will match you. But only for a little bit."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Good. Come on, let's go to the garden. We can have a wedding there. I have a veil and a bouquet and a cake."
+
+Tom followed Lily to the garden. He did not want to go. He felt sad. He did not know that Lily had a plan. She had seen a big bee hive in the garden. She wanted to make Tom match her in another way. She wanted to make him sting. She thought it would be funny. She did not know that Tom was allergic to bees. She did not know that it would be bad. Very bad.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big, furry dog. Sara liked dogs, but Ben was scared of them.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, it might bite us!" Ben said.
+
+But Sara did not listen. She ran to the dog and tried to hug it. The dog did not like that. It growled and snapped at Sara. Sara screamed and let go of the dog. The dog ran away with Sara's jacket in its mouth.
+
+Sara was sad and cold. She had no jacket. Ben ran to her and tried to help her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. Are you okay?" Ben asked.
+
+"I'm okay, but my jacket is gone. It was my favorite jacket. It was pink and had flowers on it." Sara said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. Maybe we can find the dog and get your jacket back." Ben said.
+
+But they could not find the dog. It was too fast and too smart. It hid in the woods and did not come out. Sara and Ben had to go home without the jacket.
+
+Sara's mom was angry when she saw Sara. She scolded her for being careless and disobedient.
+
+"You should have listened to Ben. He was right. You should not run to strange dogs. They can be dangerous. You could have been hurt. And you lost your jacket. It was a gift from grandma. How could you be so foolish?" Sara's mom said.
+
+Sara felt bad. She knew she had made a mistake. She wished she had been more careful and respectful. She wished she had her jacket back.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not surrender to your curiosity when it can put you in danger. Listen to your friends who care about you. Be grateful for what you have.
+Lily and Sam were twins who loved to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also found some sticks and made antlers for the snowman. They pretended the snowman was a reindeer.
+
+"Look, our reindeer is so light and white!" Lily said. "He can fly in the sky with Santa!"
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Yes, he is a good reindeer. He can help Santa bring gifts to all the children."
+
+But then, a big dog came running towards them. The dog saw the snowman and thought it was a toy. He jumped on the snowman and knocked it down. He bit the hat and the scarf and the antlers.
+
+Lily and Sam were very sad. They cried and shouted at the dog. "Bad dog! Go away! You broke our reindeer!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He wagged his tail and barked. He thought Lily and Sam were teasing him. He wanted to play more.
+
+Then, a man came and saw what happened. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog and said, "Rover, come here! Stop teasing the children! You ruined their snowman!"
+
+He apologized to Lily and Sam and gave them a hug. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. Rover is a friendly dog, but he doesn't know how to behave. He likes to chase and bite things. He didn't mean to hurt your reindeer."
+
+Lily and Sam sniffed and wiped their tears. They said, "It's okay, mister. We know Rover is not a bad dog. He just wanted to have fun. But we worked hard on our reindeer. We wanted him to fly with Santa."
+
+The man smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't we make a new snowman together? And this time, we can use some carrots and berries to make a nose and eyes for the reindeer. And we can also use some rope to make a harness and a bell. Then, Rover can pretend to be Santa and pull the reindeer on a sled. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Sam liked the idea. They said, "Yes, please! That sounds fun!"
+
+So, they made a new snowman with the man and Rover. They decorated it with carrots, berries, rope and a bell. They put it on a sled and tied Rover to it. They pretended Rover was Santa and the snowman was a reindeer. They had a lot of fun in the snow. They laughed and sang and played. They forgot about the old snowman. They were happy.
+Lily and Sam were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They looked at their books, but they did not want to read them. They looked at their mom, but she was busy.
+
+"Can we watch a movie, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish this work. Maybe later," mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam sighed. They went to the backyard. They saw a big pile of leaves. They decided to jump on it and make a fort.
+
+They had fun for a while, but then they smelled something bad. They looked at the leaves and saw that some of them were brown and black and soft.
+
+"Yuck! These leaves are rotting!" Sam said.
+
+"What does rotting mean?" Lily asked.
+
+"It means they are old and sick and not good anymore. They make a bad smell and a bad mess," Sam explained.
+
+"Can we make them good again?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, we can't. We have to throw them away and get new ones," Sam said.
+
+They ran to their mom and told her about the rotting leaves.
+
+"Mom, can you help us get rid of the rotting leaves? They are gross and stinky!" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, honey. Let me finish this work and then we can get a big bag and put the rotting leaves in it. Then we can get some fresh leaves and make a new fort," mom said.
+
+"Thank you, mom! You are the best!" Sam said.
+
+Lily and Sam hugged their mom and waited for her to finish her work. They hoped that the new leaves would be green and crunchy and not rotting. They also hoped that they could watch a movie later. Maybe an enormous movie with big animals and big sounds. That would be fun.

+
+The nice lady takes Tommy and his puppy by the hand. She walks with them around the park. She asks other people if they know Tommy's mom. She looks for Tommy's mom.
+
+At last, she sees Tommy's mom. She is looking for Tommy and his puppy. She is worried and sad. She sees Tommy and his puppy with the nice lady. She runs to them. She hugs them. She says, "Oh, Tommy, I am so glad you are safe. And you, too, puppy. I was so scared. Where were you?" Tommy says, "We were lost. But the nice lady helped us. She found you." Tommy's mom says, "Thank you, nice lady. Thank you for helping my son and his puppy. You are very kind." The nice lady says, "You are welcome. I am happy to help. I am glad you are reunited." Tommy says, "Thank you, nice lady. You are a good friend." Tommy's puppy barks and wags his tail. He says thank you, too, in his own way.
+
+Tommy and his puppy are happy. They are not lost anymore. They have their mom and a new friend. They learned to say thank you. They learned to be grateful. They learned a lot that day.

+
+One day, her mom said, "Lily, it's time for a bath. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." Lily followed her mom. She liked to splash in the water and play with her rubber duck. Her mom took a bottle of shampoo and said, "This is a new shampoo. It is mild and gentle. It will make your hair soft and shiny. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She was curious about the new shampoo. Her mom poured some on her hand and rubbed it on Lily's hair. It smelled nice, like flowers and honey. Lily closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage. Her mom said, "Now, let's rinse it off. Tilt your head back and I'll pour some water on your hair." Lily did as her mom said. She felt the shampoo and the bubbles slide off her hair. She opened her eyes and smiled.
+
+"Wow, your hair looks so clean and pretty," her mom said. "Do you like the new shampoo?" Lily nodded again. She liked the new shampoo. She said, "Thank you, mom. Can I organize the shampoo bottles?" Her mom laughed and said, "Sure, why not? You can organize them by color or by size. Just be careful not to spill them." Lily was happy. She liked to organize things. She took the shampoo bottles and started to sort them. She had fun in the bath.
+Lily loves her dog, Spot. Spot is a big, fit dog who can run and jump and play. Lily likes to teach Spot new tricks, like sit, roll and fetch. Spot is a smart dog who learns fast.

+One day, Lily and Spot go to the park with Mom. There are many other dogs and kids there. Lily sees a small, fluffy dog who looks cute. She wants to pet it, but Mom says no.
+

+
+Lily feels sad. She thinks the fluffy dog is lonely and needs a friend. She waits until Mom is not looking, and sneaks away with Spot. She finds the fluffy dog under a tree, and tries to say hello.
+
+"Hi, doggy. What is your name? Do you want to play with me and Spot?"
+
+The fluffy dog growls and shows his teeth. He does not like Lily and Spot. He jumps at them and tries to bite them. Lily screams and Spot barks. Spot is brave and strong. He protects Lily from the fluffy dog. He pushes the fluffy dog away and stands in front of Lily.
+
+Mom hears the noise and runs to Lily and Spot. She hugs them and scolds them.
+
+"Lily, what were you doing? You could have been hurt. You should never go near a strange dog. You have to listen to me, I know what is best for you."
+
+Lily feels sorry and scared. She says sorry to Mom and thanks Spot.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. I was wrong. I wanted to be nice to the fluffy dog, but he was mean. Spot saved me. He is the best dog ever. I love him."
+
+Mom smiles and kisses Lily and Spot.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. And I love Spot. He is a good dog. He taught you a lesson today. You have to be careful and respectful with animals. They are not toys, they have feelings and needs. Can you promise me you will never do that again?"
+
+Lily nods and hugs Mom and Spot.
+
+"I promise, Mom. I learned my lesson. Spot taught me. He is my hero."

+Lily and Tom were going to a hotel with their mom and dad. They had to prepare their bags and toys. Lily wanted to bring her doll and her book. Tom wanted to bring his car and his ball. But they could not fit everything in their bags.

+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe the sun and the rain made it. Maybe it's a gift for us."
+
+"Can we touch it?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't think so," Lily said. "It's too far away. But we can look at it and enjoy it."
+
+They watched the rainbow until it faded away. They felt warm and cozy inside. They decided to play with their crayons and draw their own rainbows. They had fun, even when it rained.
+Lily and Tom were going to get married. They were very happy and excited. They wanted to have a big party with all their friends and family. But they had to wait for a long time. The party was not today or tomorrow. It was in many days.
+
+Lily was impatient. She wanted to wear her pretty dress and see Tom in his nice suit. She wanted to eat cake and dance and hug everyone. She did not like to wait. She asked Tom every day, "When is our party? When is our marriage?"
+
+Tom was patient. He knew they had to wait for a good reason. He wanted to make sure everything was ready and safe. He wanted to have a happy and fun party. He told Lily every day, "Our party is soon. Our marriage is soon. Don't worry. Relax."
+
+One day, Lily and Tom got a surprise. Their friends and family came to their house. They brought flowers and balloons and gifts. They said, "Surprise! We are here to celebrate your marriage. We know you are impatient. We wanted to make you happy. We love you."
+
+Lily and Tom were very surprised and happy. They hugged their friends and family. They thanked them for the surprise. They put on their pretty dress and nice suit. They ate cake and danced and hugged everyone. They said, "We are happy. We are married. We love you."
+Ben and Lily are playing a game. They have cards with animals on them. They take turns to show a card and say the animal's name. If they say it right, they keep the card. If they say it wrong, they give the card to the other one. The one with the most cards at the end wins.
+
+Ben shows a card with a big cat. He says, "This is a lion. Roar!" He keeps the card. Lily shows a card with a bird. She says, "This is a duck. Quack!" She keeps the card. They keep playing until they have no more cards.
+
+They count their cards. Ben has six cards. Lily has seven cards. Lily says, "I win! I have more cards than you!" She smiles and claps her hands. Ben feels miserable. He says, "No, you don't win! You cheated! You took some of my cards when I was not looking!" He frowns and cries.
+
+Lily says, "I did not cheat! You are lying! You are a bad loser!" She sticks out her tongue. Ben says, "You are a bad winner! You are mean!" He throws his cards on the floor. They start to yell and fight.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the cards and the children. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to play nicely!" She picks up the cards and the children. She says, "You both need a time out. Go to your rooms and think about what you did. Maybe later you can play again and say sorry to each other." She takes them to their rooms and closes the doors. Ben and Lily are still miserable. They wish they had played better.
+Ben liked to draw with ink. He had a big bottle of ink and many papers. He drew cats and dogs and cars and houses. He was happy when he drew.
+
+One day, he could not find his ink. He looked in his room, under his bed, in his closet, on his desk. He could not see his ink. He was sad and angry. He asked his mom, "Mom, where is my ink? I want to draw!"
+
+Mom said, "I don't know, Ben. Maybe you left it somewhere else. Why don't you search in the living room, or the kitchen, or the bathroom?"
+
+Ben did not want to search in other places. He wanted his ink now. He said, "No, Mom. I want my ink here. It is mine. I need it to draw!"
+
+Mom said, "Ben, you are being rude. You have to search for your things if you lose them. And you have to share your ink with your sister. She likes to draw too, you know."
+
+Ben did not like to share his ink with his sister. He thought she was messy and silly. He said, "No, Mom. She can't have my ink. She will spill it or waste it or draw bad things."
+
+Mom said, "Ben, you are being selfish. You have to learn to share and be nice. If you don't search for your ink and share it with your sister, you will have no ink at all. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben did not understand. He was stubborn and persistent. He said, "No, Mom. I don't understand. I don't care. I want my ink. I want my ink. I want my ink!"
+
+Mom said, "Ben, you are being silly. You have to stop crying and shouting. You have to calm down and think. Maybe your ink is in the trash can. Maybe you threw it away by mistake. Why don't you check there?"
+
+Ben did not want to check the trash can. He thought it was dirty and smelly. He said, "No, Mom. I don't want to check the trash can. I don't want to touch the trash. I want my ink. I want my ink. I want my ink!"
+
+Mom said, "Ben, you are being foolish. You have to try to find your ink. You have to search everywhere. You have to be brave and smart. Maybe you will find your ink in the trash can. Maybe you will be happy again. Why don't you try?"
+
+Ben did not want to try. He wanted his ink. He was persistent and angry. He said, "No, Mom. I don't want to try. I don't want to be brave or smart. I want my ink. I want my ink. I want my ink!"
+
+Mom said, "Ben, you are being hopeless. You have to give up on your ink. You have to forget about it. You have to find something else to do. Maybe you can play with your toys, or read a book, or watch TV. Why don't you do that?"
+
+Ben did not want to do that. He wanted his ink. He was persistent and sad. He said, "No, Mom. I don't want to do that. I don't want to play or read or watch. I want my ink. I want my ink. I want my ink!"
+
+Mom said, "Ben, you are being boring. You have to stop saying the same thing over and over. You have to listen to me. You have to do what I say. You have to go to your room and stay there until you are sorry. Why don't you do that?"
+
+Ben did not want to do that. He wanted his ink. He was persistent and loud. He said, "No, Mom. I don't want to do that. I don't want to go to my room. I don't want to be sorry. I want my ink. I want my ink. I want my ink!"
+
+Mom said, "Ben, you are being naughty. You have to stop yelling and disobeying. You have to respect me. You have to do as I tell you. You have to go to your room and stay there until you are sorry. And you have to do it now. Do you hear me?"
+
+Ben did not hear her. He wanted his ink. He was persistent and defiant. He said, "No, Mom. I don't hear you. I don't respect you. I don't do as you tell me. I don't go to my room. I don't stay there. I don't be sorry. I want my ink. I want my ink. I want my ink!"
+
+Mom said, "Ben, you are being bad. You have to stop being bad. You have to be
+Tom was sick. He had a bad cough and a sore throat. He did not want to play or eat. He only wanted to sleep. His mom was worried. She called the doctor.
+
+The doctor came to Tom's house. He had a bag with tools and medicines. He looked at Tom and said, "Hello, Tom. I am here to help you. Can you open your mouth and say 'ah'?"
+
+Tom opened his mouth and said, "Ah". The doctor looked inside and said, "You have a lot of red spots. You have an infection. You need to take a pill to make it go away."
+
+The doctor took out a pill from his bag. It was large and white. Tom did not like pills. He was scared. He said, "No, no, no. I don't want the pill. It is too big. It will hurt."
+
+The doctor smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tom. The pill is not so big. Look, I can break it in half. See? Now it is smaller. And it will not hurt. It will make you feel better. Trust me."
+
+The doctor broke the pill in half and gave one piece to Tom. He said, "Here, Tom. Take this piece and drink some water. It will go down easily. Then you can take the other piece later."
+
+Tom looked at the pill. It was still large, but not as large as before. He was still scared, but he wanted to feel better. He took the pill and drank some water. It was not so bad. He did not choke or gag. He said, "Thank you, doctor. That was not so hard."
+
+The doctor said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a brave boy. Now you can rest and sleep. The pill will work and you will be well soon."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, doctor. Goodbye."
+
+The doctor said, "Goodbye, Tom. Get well soon."
+
+The doctor left. Tom felt sleepy. He closed his eyes and slept. He dreamed of playing and eating. He did not cough or hurt. He was happy. The pill had arrived and helped him.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with a swing. They run to the swing and want to hang on it.
+
+"Me first!" Anna says. She pushes Ben and gets on the swing.
+
+"No, me first!" Ben says. He pulls Anna and gets on the swing.
+
+They both want to swing, but they cannot share. They start to yell and cry. They are not friends anymore.
+
+A lady sees them. She is kind and calm. She walks to them and says, "Hello, children. Why are you so sad?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell her. They both want to swing, but they cannot share.
+
+The lady says, "I have an idea. Why don't you take turns? You can count to ten and then switch. That way, you can both have fun and be fair."
+
+Anna and Ben think. They like the idea. They say, "Okay, let's try."
+
+They start to take turns. They count to ten and then switch. They swing and laugh. They are happy.
+
+They see a fountain with water. They run to the fountain and splash each other. They have more fun.
+
+They say, "Thank you, lady. You are nice. You helped us."
+
+The lady smiles and says, "You're welcome, children. I'm glad you are friends again. Have a good day."
+
+Anna and Ben wave and say, "Bye, lady. Have a good day, too."
+
+They play in the park until it is time to go home. They hug and say, "See you tomorrow, friend."
+
+They are happy.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They saw many animals there, like birds, rabbits and squirrels. But they always wanted to see a deer. They heard that deer were big and brown and had horns on their heads. They thought deer were very cool.
+
+One day, they went to the woods with their dad. He told them to be quiet and careful, because deer were shy and scared of noise. He also told them to stay close to him, because the woods could be dangerous. Tim and Sam nodded, but they were not really listening. They were too excited to see a deer.
+
+They walked for a long time, but they did not see any deer. They only saw some tracks and droppings. Tim and Sam were getting tired and bored. They wanted to go back home and play with their toys. They started to whine and complain. They did not care about being quiet and careful anymore.
+
+Their dad was getting annoyed. He told them to stop making noise and follow him. He said he saw a deer nearby and wanted to show them. He said it was a rare chance and they should not miss it. He said they would be happy and proud if they saw a deer.
+
+Tim and Sam did not believe him. They thought he was lying to make them walk more. They did not want to walk more. They wanted to go back home. They ignored their dad and ran away from him. They made a lot of noise and scared away the deer.
+
+Their dad was very angry and sad. He caught up with them and scolded them. He told them they were foolish and selfish. He told them they missed a deer because of their noise and disobedience. He told them they should have listened to him and trusted him. He told them they would never see a deer again.
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they made a big mistake. They wished they had listened to their dad and followed him. They wished they had seen a deer. They learned a lesson. They learned to be quiet and careful in the woods. They learned to respect and obey their dad. They learned to appreciate and enjoy nature. They learned to be patient and humble. They learned to want the right things.
+Sara and Tom were twins. They liked to play together. They had a big house and many toys. They were wealthy.
+
+Today was their birthday. They were very happy. They wanted to celebrate with their friends. They invited them to come at noon. Noon was when the sun was high in the sky.
+
+At noon, their friends came. They brought gifts and cards. Sara and Tom opened them and said thank you. They had cake and juice. They played games and sang songs. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Sara and Tom's mom and dad came to join them. They hugged them and said happy birthday. They gave them a big surprise. They had tickets to go to the zoo. Sara and Tom loved animals. They were very excited.
+
+They said goodbye to their friends and thanked them for coming. They got in the car with their mom and dad. They drove to the zoo. They saw lions and monkeys and elephants and more. They learned new things and had more fun. They had a wonderful birthday. They were very happy.
+Tom and Mia were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom on the carpet and pretend they were racing. Sometimes they made noises like "vroom" and "beep" and "screech".
+
+"Look, Mia, I have a new car!" Tom said, holding up a shiny red car with a big spoiler. "It's very fast and cool. It can zoom faster than any other car!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's a nice car!" Mia said, admiring the red car. "But I have a new car too. It's very special and fun. It can zoom higher than any other car!"
+
+"Higher? How can a car zoom higher?" Tom asked, confused. "Cars zoom on the ground, not in the air. That's silly!"
+
+Mia smiled and showed Tom her new car. It was a yellow car with a propeller on top and wings on the sides. "It's a flying car!" Mia said. "It can zoom in the sky, like a bird or a plane. Watch this!"
+
+Mia threw her car in the air and turned on the propeller. The car zoomed up and up, making a whirring sound. Tom and Mia watched it with wonder and excitement. The car flew over the sofa, the table, the lamp, and the TV. It looked like it was having fun.
+
+But then, the car zoomed too high. It zoomed towards the fireplace, where there was a big chimney. Tom and Mia gasped. They knew the chimney was hot and dirty. They did not want their car to go inside.
+
+"Stop, car, stop!" Mia shouted. "Don't zoom into the chimney! Come back!"
+
+But the car did not listen. It zoomed into the chimney with a thud. Tom and Mia ran to the fireplace and looked up. They could not see their car. They could only see smoke and ashes.
+
+"Oh no, Mia, I'm sorry!" Tom said. "Your car is gone. It zoomed into the chimney and got lost. That was a silly thing to do!"
+
+Mia felt sad and angry. She liked her car very much. She did not want to lose it. She wished she had not thrown it so high. She wished it had not zoomed into the chimney.
+
+"It's okay, Tom," Mia said. "It was not your fault. It was my fault. I was silly too. I should have been more careful with my car. Maybe we can get it back somehow."
+
+Tom hugged Mia and tried to cheer her up. He had an idea. He remembered that tomorrow was Christmas. He remembered that Santa Claus would come down the chimney and bring them presents.
+
+"Maybe, Mia, maybe Santa will find your car in the chimney," Tom said. "Maybe he will bring it back to you. Maybe he will fix it and make it zoom again. Maybe he will think it's a nice car too."
+
+Mia smiled and hoped that Tom was right. She hoped that Santa would be kind and helpful. She hoped that her car would zoom again.
+
+They decided to wait and see. They put their toy cars away and went to bed. They dreamed of zooming cars and flying cars and Santa Claus and chimneys. They dreamed of silly things and happy things. They dreamed of Christmas.
+Anna and Ben are on a tour with their mom and dad. They see many big and wide things, like a bridge, a castle, and a park. They also see many small and cute things, like ducks, flowers, and balloons. They have fun and learn new words.
+
+But after a while, Anna and Ben feel tired. They yawn and rub their eyes. They want to nap, but they have to stay with the tour. They do not want to miss anything.
+
+"Mom, can we nap?" Anna asks.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. We have to follow the guide. He will show us more things," Mom says.
+
+"But I'm sleepy," Ben says.
+
+"Me too," Anna says.
+
+Mom and Dad look at each other. They see that Anna and Ben are very sleepy. They decide to leave the tour and find a quiet place to nap.
+
+They walk to a bench under a big tree. They sit down and cuddle with Anna and Ben. They cover them with a blanket and sing a soft song. Anna and Ben close their eyes and nap. They dream of the big and wide things they saw on the tour. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and read books. But they do not like to wear the same clothes. Sara likes to wear pink dresses and Ben likes to wear blue jeans.
+
+One day, their mom says, "We are going to the park. Put on your clothes and shoes." She gives them matching yellow shirts and green pants. Sara and Ben do not like them. They think they are ugly.
+
+"I do not want to wear this," Sara says. "It is not pretty. I want to wear my pink dress."
+
+"I do not want to wear this," Ben says. "It is not cool. I want to wear my blue jeans."
+
+Their mom says, "You have to wear these clothes. They are clean and warm. And you look cute together."
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They do not want to look cute. They want to look different. They go to their room and look for their books. They find a book about a princess and a book about a pirate. They have an idea.
+
+They put on their books over their clothes. Sara puts the princess book on her shirt and Ben puts the pirate book on his pants. They think they look better now.
+
+They go to the park with their mom. They see other kids playing and reading. The other kids laugh at them. They say, "Why are you wearing books? You look silly."
+
+Sara and Ben are mad. They do not think they look silly. They think they look fun. They say, "We are not wearing books. We are a princess and a pirate. We are having an adventure."
+
+They run away from the other kids. They find a big tree and pretend it is a castle and a ship. They have fun with their books and their clothes. They do not care what the other kids say. They are happy.
+Tim and Anna like to play in the garden. They have a big sandbox with many toys. They make castles and bridges and tunnels with the sand. Sometimes they bury their toys and then dig them up again.
+
+One day, the weather is very sunny and warm. Tim and Anna put on their hats and sunscreen and go outside. They see a friendly dog running in the grass. The dog has a red ball in his mouth. He drops the ball near the sandbox and wags his tail.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Tim says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The dog barks and nods. He picks up the ball and runs to Tim. Tim throws the ball and the dog chases it. Anna claps and laughs.
+
+They play catch for a while. Then Anna has an idea. She takes the ball from the dog and buries it in the sand. She covers it with more sand and smooths it. She says to the dog, "Can you find the ball?"
+
+The dog sniffs the sand. He digs with his paws. He finds the ball and pulls it out. He shakes the sand off and wags his tail. He gives the ball to Anna and licks her face.
+
+"Good dog!" Anna says. "You are very smart!"
+
+Tim and Anna hug the dog. They share their toys with him. They have a lot of fun in the garden. The dog is their new friend.
+Lily liked to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She danced with her doll, her dog, and her mom. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored.
+
+One day, she saw a big wire in the park. It was shiny and long and high. She wondered what it was for. She asked her mom, but her mom did not know. She asked her dog, but her dog did not care. She asked her doll, but her doll did not answer.
+
+She decided to dance on the wire. She thought it would be fun and exciting. She climbed on a bench and reached for the wire. She held it with her hands and tried to stand on it with her feet. But the wire was not steady. It wobbled and shook and made her lose her balance. She fell off the wire and landed on the grass. She hurt her knee and her elbow and her head. She cried and cried and cried.
+
+Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She said, "Lily, are you okay? Why did you dance on the wire? That was not safe. That was not smart. That was not a good idea."
+
+Lily said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to dance on the wire. I thought it would be fun and exciting. But it was not. It was scary and painful and bad."
+
+Her mom said, "I know, Lily. I know you like to dance. But you have to be careful and choose the right place to dance. The wire is not a place to dance. The wire is a place to avoid. The wire is a place to leave alone."
+
+Lily said, "Okay, mom. I understand. I will not dance on the wire again. I will dance on the ground, or on the floor, or on the bed. I will dance where it is safe and smart and good."
+
+Her mom said, "That's good, Lily. That's very good. I love you, Lily. And I love your dance."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "I love you, mom. And I love your hug."
+
+They went home and put a band-aid on Lily's knee and her elbow and her head. They ate some cookies and drank some milk. They watched some cartoons and read some books. They danced some more and laughed some more and cuddled some more. They had a good day.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in Lily's room. Lily has a big carpet. The carpet is soft and pink. Tom likes to watch the cars on the carpet. He makes vroom vroom sounds.
+
+One day, Lily's mom says, "Lily, you have to share your carpet with Tom. He is your guest." Lily does not like to share. She says, "No, mom. It is my carpet. Tom can watch, but he cannot touch."
+
+Tom feels sad. He says, "Lily, please let me play with the cars. They are so fun. I will be careful." Lily says, "No, Tom. They are my cars. You can watch, but you cannot touch."
+
+Tom gets angry. He says, "Lily, you are not a good friend. You are mean and selfish. I don't want to watch. I want to play." He grabs a car from the carpet. Lily screams, "Tom, give it back. It is mine."
+
+Lily and Tom start to fight. They pull and push each other. They knock over the lamp. The lamp falls on the carpet. The carpet catches fire. Lily and Tom are scared. They run out of the room. Lily's mom smells the smoke. She calls the firemen. The firemen come and put out the fire. But the carpet is ruined. The cars are melted. Lily and Tom cry. They are in trouble. They are not friends anymore.
+Ben and Mia were friends. They liked to play together at Ben's house. Ben's house had many stairs. Ben and Mia liked to run up and down the stairs and pretend they were in a castle.
+
+One day, Ben's mom said, "We have a guest coming over. His name is Mr. Lee. He is very polite. You have to be polite too. Say welcome when he comes in and share your toys with him."
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They wanted to be polite too. They waited for Mr. Lee to come. They heard a knock on the door. Ben's mom opened the door and said, "Welcome, Mr. Lee. Come in, please."
+
+Ben and Mia saw Mr. Lee. He was very tall and had a big beard. He smiled and said, "Hello, Ben and Mia. You are very cute. Can I play with you?"
+
+Ben and Mia did not like Mr. Lee. He looked scary. They did not want to share their toys with him. They ran up the stairs and hid in Ben's room. They locked the door and hoped Mr. Lee would go away.
+
+But Mr. Lee did not go away. He followed them up the stairs. He knocked on the door and said, "Ben and Mia, open the door. I want to play with you. Don't be rude. Be polite."
+
+Ben and Mia did not open the door. They were afraid of Mr. Lee. They hugged each other and cried. They wished Mr. Lee would leave.
+
+But Mr. Lee did not leave. He got angry. He kicked the door and broke it. He entered the room and grabbed Ben and Mia. He said, "You are very naughty. You did not say welcome. You did not share your toys. You have to learn to be polite. I will teach you a lesson."
+
+Ben and Mia screamed. They tried to get away from Mr. Lee. But he was too strong. He took them downstairs and put them in his car. He drove away with them. He said, "You are coming with me. You will be my toys now."
+
+Ben and Mia never saw their mom or their house again. They were very sad and scared. They wished they had been polite to Mr. Lee. They wished they had said welcome.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a patch of dirt where they planted seeds. They watered the seeds every day and waited for them to grow.
+
+One day, they saw a tiny green sprout in the patch. They were very happy and clapped their hands. They wanted to see the sprout increase and become a big plant. They gave it more water and sang to it.
+
+The next day, they saw another sprout in the patch. And the day after that, another one. The patch was full of sprouts. Ben and Lily were very excited and jumped up and down. They wondered what kind of plants they would be.
+
+They kept watering and singing to the patch. The sprouts grew taller and taller. They had stems and leaves and flowers. Some were red, some were yellow, some were blue. They smelled nice and made the garden bright.
+
+Ben and Lily dug a hole in the patch. They wanted to see how deep the roots were. They used their hands and a spoon. They dug and dug until they found the roots. They were long and thin and white. They touched them gently and said hello.
+
+They were proud of their patch. They had grown beautiful plants from tiny seeds. They hugged each other and thanked the sun and the rain. They picked some flowers and gave them to their mom and dad. They said they loved them and their patch.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their big building. They lived on the tenth floor with their mom and dad. Sometimes they took the elevator to go up and down. The elevator was a big box with buttons and doors that moved.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily wanted to see what was on the roof. They pushed the button for the top floor and waited for the elevator. When the doors opened, they saw a big plant inside. It had green leaves and purple flowers and a long stem. It looked pretty, but it smelled terrible.
+
+Tom and Lily were curious and stepped inside the elevator. They wanted to touch the plant, but it was a bad idea. The plant was not nice. It was hungry. It wrapped its stem around Tom and Lily and tried to eat them. They screamed and cried for help.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them and ran to the elevator. They saw the plant and were scared. They pushed the button to open the doors, but the plant was too strong. It held the doors shut and growled.
+
+Mom and Dad did not give up. They got a big scissors from the kitchen and a big bucket of water from the bathroom. They cut the stem of the plant and poured water on it. The plant let go of Tom and Lily and shriveled up. The doors opened and Mom and Dad hugged Tom and Lily. They were safe.
+
+Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They never went to the roof again. They never touched strange plants again. They only played with nice things in their big building. They were happy.
+Anna loved to rock on her aunt's big chair. It was soft and cozy and made a nice sound. Sometimes, her aunt would rock with her and tell her stories. Anna liked her aunt's stories. They were about brave animals, funny people and beautiful places.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to rock on the chair, but her aunt was not home. She was at the store. Anna thought she could rock by herself. She climbed on the chair and started to rock. But she rocked too hard and too fast. The chair tipped over and Anna fell down. She hit her head on the floor and started to cry.
+
+Her aunt came back and heard her cry. She ran to Anna and hugged her. She saw the chair on the floor and the bump on Anna's head. She was very worried. She said, "Anna, are you okay? What happened?"
+
+Anna sobbed and said, "I wanted to rock on the chair, but I rocked too hard and I fell down. I'm sorry, aunt. I broke your chair."
+
+Her aunt said, "Don't worry, Anna. The chair can be fixed. I'm glad you are not hurt badly. But you should not rock on the chair by yourself. It is not safe. You could get hurt or break something. You should wait for me or ask me first. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, aunt. I understand. I'm sorry. I won't rock on the chair by myself again."
+
+Her aunt said, "It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. You are a good girl. You are lucky you have a hard head. Come on, let's put some ice on your bump and read a story together."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, aunt. I love you. You are the best aunt ever."
+
+The moral value of the story is: You should not do things that are dangerous or risky without asking for permission or help. You could get hurt or damage something. You should listen to your elders and learn from your mistakes. You should be grateful for the people who love you and care for you.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their new toy. It is a printer that can make shapes. They put paper in the printer and press a button. The printer makes a sound and prints a shape on the paper.
+
+"Look, Sara, I made a star!" Ben says, holding up his paper.
+
+"Wow, that is a nice star, Ben!" Sara says. "Can I try?"
+
+"Sure, Sara, you can try. Here, take this paper and choose a shape." Ben says, giving Sara a paper and pointing to the buttons.
+
+Sara looks at the buttons. There are many shapes. She sees a circle, a square, a triangle, and a heart. She likes the heart the best. She presses the heart button and waits for the printer to print.
+
+But something goes wrong. The printer makes a loud noise and prints a huge heart on the paper. The heart is so big that it does not fit on the paper. It spills over the edges and onto the table.
+
+"Oops!" Sara says, looking at the huge heart.
+
+"Wow, that is a huge heart, Sara!" Ben says, looking at the huge heart.
+
+"Maybe we pressed the wrong button." Sara says.
+
+"Maybe we did. But it is okay. We can still play with it." Ben says.
+
+They take the huge heart and cut it out with scissors. They use it to make a card for their mom. They write "We love you, Mom" on the card and draw some flowers and stars. They give the card to their mom when she comes home.
+
+"Thank you, Sara and Ben, this is a beautiful card!" Mom says, hugging them.
+
+"We made it with our printer. But it printed a huge heart by mistake." Sara says.
+
+"That is okay. I love your huge heart. And I love you, too." Mom says.
+
+They smile and hug their mom. They are happy. They like their printer and their shapes. They like to make cards and gifts. They like to say "I love you".
+Lily and Tom are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like the clock best. The clock is big and shiny, and it makes a tick-tock sound. Lily and Tom take turns to move the hands of the clock and pretend it is different times.
+
+"Look, it is lunch time!" Lily says, moving the big hand to the twelve and the little hand to the six. "Let's go to the kitchen and see what Mommy has for us."
+
+"Okay!" Tom says, following Lily. They run to the kitchen, where Mommy is making sandwiches. She smiles when she sees them.
+
+"Hello, my hungry little ones. Do you want a sandwich?" Mommy asks, offering them a plate with two slices of bread and cheese.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say, taking a sandwich each. They sit at the table and eat their sandwiches. They are very yummy.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy. You make the best sandwiches!" Lily says, giving Mommy a hug.
+
+"You're welcome, sweetie. And thank you for playing nicely with Tom. He is your best friend, right?" Mommy says, hugging Lily back.
+
+"Yes, he is. We have so much fun with the clock. It is our favorite toy!" Lily says, looking at Tom.
+
+"Me too. The clock is perfect!" Tom says, nodding. He finishes his sandwich and wipes his mouth.
+
+"Can we play with the clock some more, Mommy?" Tom asks, looking at Mommy with big eyes.
+
+"Of course, you can. But first, let's clean up the table and wash our hands, okay?" Mommy says, picking up the plate and the napkins.
+
+"Okay!" Lily and Tom say, helping Mommy. They are good helpers. They love Mommy, and they love the clock. They are very happy.
+Ben and Mia are playing with a big box. They want to make a house out of it. They cut a door and some windows with scissors. They draw flowers and stars on the walls with crayons. They need something to hold the roof on the box. They look around for something.
+
+"Look, I found some screws!" Ben says. He shows Mia a handful of shiny metal things. "We can use these to cover the roof on the box."
+
+"Good idea!" Mia says. She takes some screws from Ben and helps him. They poke holes in the roof and the box with a screwdriver. They twist the screws until they are tight. They are proud of their work.
+
+"Wow, our house is so unique!" Mia says. She admires their house. "No one else has a house like this."
+
+"You're right, it's very unique!" Ben agrees. He smiles at Mia. "Do you want to go inside and play?"

+"Yes, let's go!" Mia says. She opens the door and crawls inside. Ben follows her. They close the door and pretend they are a family. They have fun in their unique house.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved dessert. They always wanted to eat cake, ice cream, or cookies after dinner. But their mom said they had to share one dessert every night. She said it was fair and healthy.
+
+One night, mom gave them a big slice of chocolate cake. Lily and Ben both wanted the cake, but they knew they had to split it. Mom gave them a knife and said, "Cut the cake in half and each take a piece. Be careful with the knife."
+
+Lily took the knife and tried to cut the cake. But she did not cut it in half. She cut it in a way that made one piece bigger and one piece smaller. She gave the smaller piece to Ben and took the bigger piece for herself.
+
+Ben saw what Lily did and felt angry. He said, "That's not fair! You took the bigger piece! You have to split it evenly!"
+
+Lily said, "No, I don't. I cut the cake, so I get to choose. You can have the smaller piece or nothing."
+
+Ben started to cry. He said, "You're mean! You're a bad sister! I don't want to share with you anymore!"
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the cake and the knife and the tears. She said, "What's going on here? Why are you fighting over the cake?"
+
+Lily and Ben told mom what happened. Mom looked at Lily and said, "Lily, you were selfish and greedy. You did not split the cake fairly. You hurt your brother's feelings. You should be ashamed of yourself."
+
+Lily felt sorry and sad. She realized she was wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, mom. I was selfish and greedy. I should have split the cake fairly. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was sorry and sad. He felt sorry and sad too. He said, "I forgive you, Lily. I'm sorry, mom. I was angry and rude. I should have been nicer to you."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said, "I'm glad you're sorry and you forgive each other. Sharing is caring. Next time, split the dessert fairly and enjoy it together."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and hugged each other. They said, "We love you, mom. We love each other. Can we still have the cake?"
+
+Mom laughed and said, "Yes, you can still have the cake. But only if you split it fairly and say thank you."
+
+Lily and Ben split the cake fairly and said thank you. They ate the cake and felt happy. They learned their lesson and never fought over dessert again.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They see a big vine on the wall. The vine has many green leaves and purple flowers. Sara and Ben think the vine is cool.
+
+They want to count how many flowers the vine has. They start from one end of the vine and point to each flower. They say the numbers out loud. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. They are happy. They count ten flowers.
+
+But then they see more flowers on the other end of the vine. They run to the other end and start counting again. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. They are surprised. They count ten more flowers.
+
+They look at each other and smile. They say, "Wow, the vine has twenty flowers! That is a lot of flowers. The vine is very cool." They clap their hands and hug each other. They love the vine and the garden.
+Lily was a lovely mouse who liked to sing and dance. She wanted to perform for her friends and make them happy. She practiced every day in her hole, but she was afraid to go outside. She thought the big cats and dogs would catch her and eat her.
+
+One day, she met a friendly bird who told her he could help her. He said he knew a safe place where she could perform for many animals. He said he would fly her there and protect her. Lily was excited and agreed to go with him.
+
+The bird took Lily to a big barn, where he said there was a stage. He told her to wait there while he went to get the audience. Lily saw a lot of hay and straw, and some shiny things. She thought they were decorations. She decided to try them on and make herself look pretty.
+
+She put on a necklace of beads, a bracelet of bells, and a hat of feathers. She felt very happy and proud. She started to sing and dance, waiting for the bird to come back. She did not notice that the shiny things were traps, and that the barn was full of hungry cats.
+
+The cats heard the noise and smelled the mouse. They crept closer and closer, ready to pounce. Lily was too busy performing to see them. She did not hear the bird calling her to run away. He had seen the danger and tried to warn her, but it was too late. The cats jumped on Lily and caught her. They tore off her shiny things and ate her up.
+
+The bird was very sad and flew away. He wished he had not taken Lily to the barn. He wished he had told her the truth. He learned that it is not good to lie to your friends, and that it is better to be safe than sorry.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, they both want to play with the same puzzle. The puzzle has many pieces that match together.
+
+"Give me that piece!" Anna says. She tries to grab a piece from Ben's hand.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben says. He holds the piece tight. "I need it to finish my puzzle!"
+
+They pull and tug at the piece. They make a lot of noise. Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asks. She sees the puzzle and the piece. "Why are you fighting over this piece? It does not match either of your puzzles. Look, it has a different color and shape."
+
+Anna and Ben look at the piece. They see that Mom is right. It does not match their puzzles. They feel silly.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Anna says.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Ben says.
+
+They give the piece to Mom. They go back to their puzzles. They find the pieces that match. They finish their puzzles. They are happy.
+

+Lily and Lila were twins. They looked the same and liked the same things. They had a little dog named Spot. Spot was black and white and very friendly.
+
+One day, Lily and Lila went to the park with Spot. They saw a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. They wanted to play with everything. They ran to the slide and took turns to go down. They laughed and shouted, "Whee!"
+
+Then they ran to the swing and pushed each other. They felt the wind in their hair and said, "Wow!"
+
+Then they ran to the sandbox and made a castle and a moat. They used sticks and stones and shells. They said, "Look!"
+
+But they forgot about Spot. Spot was bored and lonely. He wanted to play with them, but they did not pay attention to him. He barked and wagged his tail, but they did not hear him. He felt sad and left out.
+
+He saw a squirrel on a tree and decided to chase it. He ran after the squirrel and jumped to catch it. But the squirrel was too fast and too high. Spot missed the squirrel and fell to the ground. He hurt his paw and cried, "Ouch!"
+
+Lily and Lila heard Spot's cry and ran to him. They saw him lying on the ground and whimpering. They felt sorry and scared. They hugged him and said, "Poor Spot! Are you okay?"
+
+They took him to the water fountain and washed his paw. They wrapped it with a bandage and gave him a treat. They said, "We are sorry, Spot. We love you. We should have played with you. You are our best friend."
+
+Spot licked their faces and wagged his tail. He felt better and happy. He said, "Thank you, Lily and Lila. I love you too. You are my best twins."
+
+Lily and Lila learned a lesson. They learned to share their time and attention with their dog. They learned to be kind and caring to their friend. They learned to have fun together. They said, "We learned, Spot. We will play with you more. You are our fun friend."
+
+They went back to the park and played with Spot. They took him to the slide and the swing and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun. They said, "Yay!"
+Anna loves to sing and dance. She likes to perform for her family and friends. She has a big show today at school. She is very excited.
+
+But when she wakes up in the morning, she feels sick. Her head hurts and her throat is sore. She coughs and sneezes. She does not want to get out of bed.
+
+"Mommy, I don't feel well," she says in a weak voice.
+
+Mommy comes to her room and feels her forehead. She says, "Oh, Anna, you have a fever. You can't go to school today. You have to stay home and rest."
+
+Anna starts to cry. She says, "But Mommy, I have to perform today. I practiced so hard. I don't want to miss my show."
+
+Mommy hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Anna, but you have to take care of yourself. You can perform another day. Maybe you can record your song and dance and send it to your teacher and friends. They will understand."
+
+Anna is still sad, but she nods. She knows Mommy is right. She says, "OK, Mommy. I will try to feel better. Can you sing me a song?"
+
+Mommy smiles and says, "Of course, Anna. I will sing you a song. You are my little star."
+
+Mommy sings a song to Anna and tucks her in. Anna closes her eyes and listens. She feels a little better. She falls into a deep sleep. She dreams of singing and dancing on a big stage. She hopes she will perform soon.
+Anna and her mom were going to the airport. They wanted to see Anna's dad, who worked far away. Anna was very happy, because she missed her dad a lot. She packed her favorite doll and her red coat in her small bag.
+
+"Are we there yet, mom?" Anna asked, looking out the window. She saw many cars and lights and signs.
+
+"Soon, sweetie, soon," her mom said, smiling. "We have to be there before it gets dark, or we will miss our plane."
+
+Anna nodded. She knew what a plane was. It was a big bird that could fly very fast and very high. She had seen one in a book. She wondered how it felt to be inside a plane.
+
+They arrived at the airport. It was a big building with many people and noises. Anna held her mom's hand tightly. She felt a little scared. Her mom checked their bags and got their tickets. Then they walked to a gate, where a lady checked their tickets again.
+
+"Have a nice flight," the lady said.
+
+"Thank you," Anna and her mom said.
+
+They boarded the plane. It was like a long bus with many seats and windows. Anna and her mom sat next to a window. Anna looked outside. She saw the airport getting smaller and smaller as the plane took off. She felt a funny feeling in her tummy.
+
+"Wow, mom, we are flying!" Anna exclaimed.
+
+"Yes, we are, honey," her mom said, hugging her. "And soon we will see your dad. He is waiting for us at the other airport. He has a big surprise for you."
+
+Anna smiled. She wondered what the surprise was. She hoped it was something nice. She closed her eyes and dreamed of her dad. She was very happy.
+Sam was a bald boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many cars, trains, and planes that he zoomed around his room. He did not like to stop playing, even when his mom called him for dinner.
+
+"Sam, it's time to eat!" his mom said. "Come to the kitchen, please."
+
+"No, mom, I want to play!" Sam said. He ignored his mom and kept zooming his toys.
+
+His mom came to his room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She picked up Sam and carried him to the kitchen. She put him on his chair and gave him a plate of food.
+
+"Sam, you have to eat your dinner. It's good for you. It will make you grow and be strong," his mom said.
+
+Sam looked at his plate. He saw broccoli, carrots, and chicken. He did not like broccoli or carrots. He only liked chicken. He pushed his plate away.
+
+"No, mom, I don't want to eat this. I want chicken nuggets!" Sam said.
+
+"Sam, you can't have chicken nuggets every day. You have to eat your vegetables. They have vitamins and minerals that you need. They will prevent you from getting sick," his mom said.
+
+Sam did not care. He did not want to eat his vegetables. He crossed his arms and pouted.
+
+His mom sighed. She knew Sam was stubborn. She decided to try a different way.
+
+"Sam, how about this? If you eat your vegetables, I will let you play with your toys for ten more minutes before bedtime. And I will read you your favorite story. How does that sound?" his mom said.
+
+Sam thought about it. He liked his toys. He liked his favorite story. He wanted to play and listen to his mom. He looked at his plate again. He decided to eat his vegetables. He took a bite of broccoli.
+
+"Okay, mom, I will eat my vegetables. But only for ten more minutes of play and my favorite story," Sam said.
+
+His mom smiled. She was glad Sam agreed. She praised him for eating his vegetables. She hoped he would learn to like them more.
+
+They finished their dinner and went back to his room. Sam played with his toys for ten more minutes. Then his mom read him his favorite story. He hugged his mom and thanked her. He went to bed happy and full. He dreamed of his toys and his story. He did not know that his mom was happy and proud. She loved her bald boy very much.
+Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. They wanted to play with everything.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, Mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, but be careful. The slide is very high and fast," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the slide. They took turns to go down. They laughed and screamed. They had fun.
+
+Then they saw a man with a cart. He had many candies in the cart. He gave some to the kids in the park.
+
+"Can we have some candy, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, but only one each. Too much candy is not good for you," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily walked to the man. They said hello and thank you. They chose their candies. Tom picked a big lollipop. Lily picked a small chocolate.
+
+They went back to Mom. They showed her their candies.
+
+"Wow, those are nice candies. But Tom, your lollipop is very heavy. Are you sure you can eat it?" Mom asked.

+Lily loved to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the birds, the flowers, and the big trees. But her favorite thing was to feed the deer. The deer lived in a special place in the park, where they had grass and water and a fence to keep them safe. Lily always brought some carrots or apples for them.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new deer in the park. It was smaller than the others, and had white spots on its brown fur. It looked shy and scared, and stayed away from the other deer. Lily wanted to be its friend. She took a carrot from her bag and walked slowly to the fence. She held out the carrot and said, "Hello, little deer. I have a treat for you. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."
+
+The little deer looked at Lily with big, dark eyes. It sniffed the air and smelled the carrot. It was hungry, but it was also nervous. It had never seen a human before. It wondered if Lily was nice or mean. It took a step closer, then another, then another. It reached the fence and stretched its neck. It touched the carrot with its nose and licked it. It tasted sweet and crunchy. It liked it. It took a bite and chewed it. It looked at Lily and made a soft sound.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Good deer. You are very brave. Do you want another carrot?" She took another one from her bag and offered it to the deer. The deer nodded and ate it. It felt happy and warm. It decided that Lily was nice and kind. It accepted her as a friend. It moved closer to the fence and rubbed its head against Lily's hand. Lily giggled and petted it. She said, "You are very sweet, little deer. What is your name?"
+
+The deer didn't have a name, but it liked the sound of Lily's voice. It made another sound and nodded. It felt like it had a name now. It felt like it had a home. It felt like it had a family. It stayed with Lily until her mom came to get her. Lily said goodbye to the deer and promised to come back soon. The deer watched her go and waited for her to return. It knew that she would. It knew that she was its friend. It knew that it was happy.
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys. Some toys are soft, some toys are hard. They like different textures.
+
+One day, Tim and Jen find a new toy. It is a ball. It is very big and very shiny. It has many colors. Tim and Jen want to play with the ball. They think it is the best toy ever.
+
+They name the ball Bob. They say, "Hello, Bob. You are our new friend. We will have fun with you." They roll Bob around the room. They bounce Bob on the floor. They throw Bob in the air.
+
+But Bob is not a good toy. Bob is a stupid toy. Bob is a balloon. Bob pops. He makes a loud noise. He scares Tim and Jen. They cry. They say, "Bye, Bob. You are not our friend. You are a bad toy."
+
+Tim and Jen learn a lesson. They learn that some toys are not what they seem. They learn that some toys are not good for playing. They learn that some toys are stupid. They hug their old toys. They say, "We love you. You are our real friends. You are good toys."
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the mud. They made mud pies, mud castles and mud animals. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very dirty.
+
+"Time to wash up, kids!" their mom called from the house. "Dinner is ready!"
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the bathroom. They saw a big tub of water and a bar of soap. Lily grabbed the soap and rubbed it on her hands, face and hair. She felt the bubbles tickle her skin. She was cheerful and sang a song.
+
+"Look at me, I'm so clean and shiny! I love to wash with soap and water!"
+
+Ben did not like to wash. He thought it was boring and a waste of time. He dipped his fingers in the water and pretended to wash. He did not use the soap at all. He was grumpy and muttered to himself.
+
+"Who cares if I'm dirty? I like to play in the mud. I don't need to wash with soap and water!"
+
+Lily and Ben dried themselves with towels and went to the kitchen. Their mom was waiting for them with a big smile. She hugged Lily and kissed her cheek.
+
+"You look so lovely, Lily! You did a great job washing yourself. You smell like flowers!"
+
+She looked at Ben and frowned. She saw the mud on his hands, face and hair. She smelled the dirt on him. She was angry and scolded him.
+
+"Ben, what did you do? You are still filthy! You did not wash yourself at all. You smell like a pig!"
+
+She sent Ben back to the bathroom and told him to wash properly. She said he could not have dinner until he was clean. Ben was sad and hungry. He wished he had listened to his mom and used the soap and water.
+
+The moral of the story is: Washing with soap and water is good for you. It makes you clean, healthy and happy. You should always wash yourself after playing in the mud.

+Her mom hears her cry and comes to see her. She sees the book on the floor and picks it up. She asks Sara what is wrong.
+
+Sara tells her mom that the book is bad and boring. She says she does not like to read anymore.
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "Sara, this book is not for you. It is for older kids who know more words. You are still learning to read. You have many other books in your trunk that are good and fun for you. You should not give up on reading because of one book. Reading is a wonderful thing. It helps you grow and imagine and explore. You can read any book you want, as long as it is right for you."
+
+Sara listens to her mom and feels better. She says she is sorry for throwing the book. She asks her mom to help her find a book that is right for her.
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Of course, Sara. Let's look in your trunk together. I'm sure we will find the perfect book for you."
+
+They go to the trunk and open it. They see many books of different colors and sizes. They choose one that has big and clear pictures and words. Sara likes the book. She asks her mom to read it with her.
+

+Her mom kisses her and says, "I love you, Sara. And I love to read with you. Reading is the best thing ever."
+Tom was a messy boy. He liked to play with his toys, but he did not like to put them away. He left them on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. His mom was not happy. She told him to clean his room many times, but he did not listen. He said he would do it later, but he never did. He was lying.
+
+One day, his mom had a surprise for him. She said they were going to the park, where he could play with his friends and have fun. Tom was very excited. He put on his shoes and ran to the door. He did not see the toy car that was lying on the floor. He stepped on it and slipped. He fell down and hurt his knee. He cried out loud.
+
+His mom came to help him. She saw the toy car and the messy room. She was not happy. She said, "Tom, this is what happens when you lie and do not clean your room. You could have avoided this if you had listened to me. Now you have to stay home and rest your knee. No park for you today." Tom was very sad. He wished he had not lied and had cleaned his room. He learned his lesson. He said he was sorry and asked his mom to forgive him. His mom hugged him and said she loved him, but he still had to clean his room. Tom agreed. He did not want to lie or fall again. He wanted to be a good and tidy boy.
+Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a shiny diamond in their mom's jewelry box. They thought it was very pretty and wanted to keep it.
+
+"Let's replace it with something else," Tom said. "Mom won't notice."
+
+They looked around and saw a boring button on the floor. They took the diamond and put the button in the jewelry box.
+
+"Ha ha, we are so clever," Jill said. "Now we have a diamond to play with."
+
+They ran to their room and pretended the diamond was a magic stone. They had fun for a while, but then they heard their mom scream.
+
+"Who took my diamond?" she yelled. "It was a gift from your dad. It is very special and expensive. I need it back right now!"
+
+Jill and Tom felt scared and guilty. They knew they did something bad. They looked at the diamond and realized it was not worth losing their mom's trust and love.
+
+They ran to their mom and gave her the diamond. They said they were sorry and hugged her.
+
+Mom was angry, but also relieved. She hugged them back and said she forgave them.
+
+"But you have to learn a lesson," she said. "You can't replace something that belongs to someone else. It is not fair and it is not right. You have to respect other people's things and ask before you touch them."
+
+Jill and Tom nodded and said they understood. They promised to never do it again.
+
+They learned that replacing is not always a good idea. Sometimes, it can cause trouble and hurt feelings. They decided to play with their own toys and be happy with what they had.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, Lily had an idea.
+
+"Tom, do you want to have a picnic with me?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, I do!" Tom said. "What do we need for a picnic?"
+
+"We need a blanket, some food, and some juice," Lily said. "I have a basket. You can help me pack it."
+
+They went to Lily's house and packed the basket. They took some bread, cheese, apples, and cookies. They also took two bottles of juice. They put everything in the basket and carried it to the park.
+
+They found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket on the grass and put the basket on it. They opened the bottles and poured some juice into their cups. They started to eat their food.
+
+They were having fun. They talked and laughed and shared their food. They did not see the fierce dog that was coming towards them. The dog was hungry and angry. It saw the basket and smelled the food. It wanted to eat it.
+
+The dog ran to the basket and barked loudly. It scared Lily and Tom. They dropped their cups and food and ran away. They hid behind another tree and watched the dog.
+
+The dog tore the basket and ate the food. It made a big mess. It did not leave anything for Lily and Tom.
+
+Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They wanted their picnic back. They did not like the fierce dog.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily shouted. "You are bad! You took our picnic!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It licked its lips and looked for more food. It saw Lily and Tom behind the tree. It barked again and ran to them.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know what to do. They wished they had a stick or a stone to throw at the dog.
+
+But then they heard a whistle. It was a man. He was the dog's owner. He came to the park and saw the dog.
+
+"Rex, stop!" he shouted. "Come here, boy!"
+
+The dog heard the whistle and the voice. It stopped running and turned around. It saw the man and ran to him. It wagged its tail and licked his face.
+
+The man saw the mess and the basket. He saw Lily and Tom behind the tree. He realized what had happened.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids," he said. "Rex is a good dog, but he is fierce when he is hungry. He did not mean to ruin your picnic. He did not know it was yours."
+
+He took the dog by the collar and walked to Lily and Tom. He apologized again and gave them some money.
+
+"Here, take this," he said. "You can buy some more food and have another picnic. I hope you forgive Rex and me."
+
+Lily and Tom took the money and thanked the man. They were still sad and angry, but they felt a little better. They decided to forgive Rex and the man.
+
+They went to the store and bought some more food and juice. They found another spot in the park and had another picnic. They hoped no other fierce dog would come and take it. They enjoyed their picnic and their friendship.
+Sara was very happy. She had a new toy. It was a doll with long hair and a pink dress. She named her doll Lily. She liked to play with Lily and comb her hair.
+
+One day, Sara's friend Ben came to visit. He saw Lily and wanted to play with her. He asked Sara, "Can I play with your doll?"
+
+Sara said, "No, she is mine. You have your own toys."
+
+Ben felt sad. He said, "But I like your doll. She is so pretty. Please, can I hold her for a little bit?"
+
+Sara said, "No, go away. Lily is my best friend. You are not."
+
+Ben started to cry. He ran to his mom and told her what Sara said. His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. Maybe Sara is not feeling well today. Why don't you make a wish and call someone else to play with?"
+
+Ben nodded. He closed his eyes and made a wish. He wished for a new friend who would share his toys and play with him. Then he opened his eyes and saw a boy outside. He had a big smile and a red truck. He waved at Ben and said, "Hi, I'm Tom. I just moved here. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben smiled back. He said, "Yes, I do. I'm Ben. Come in, I have many toys. We can play with them together."
+
+Tom said, "That sounds great. Thank you, Ben. You are very nice."
+
+Ben and Tom became friends. They played with their toys and had fun. Sara watched them from the window. She felt lonely. She wished she had not been mean to Ben. She wished she had a friend too. She picked up Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are not my best friend. You are just a toy. I need a real friend. Maybe I should call Ben and say sorry."
+Lily liked to run and jump and play. She was very fast and strong. She wanted to win a medal at the big race. She practiced every day with her mom and dad.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big scale. It was for weighing people and things. Lily was curious. She wanted to know how much she weighed. She climbed on the scale and looked at the number. It was 20. She was happy. She was not too heavy or too light. She was just right for running.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are doing great, Lily. You are ready for the race. But remember, the most important thing is to have fun and try your best."
+
+Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She was excited for the race. She hoped she would win a medal.
+
+The next day, Lily went to the big race with her mom and dad. There were many other kids there. They all looked fast and strong too. Lily felt a little nervous. She wanted to do well.
+
+The race started. Lily ran as fast as she could. She passed some kids and some kids passed her. She kept going. She saw the finish line. She saw a shiny medal. She wanted it.
+
+She ran faster and faster. She was almost there. She reached out her hand. She touched the medal. She won!
+
+Lily was so happy. She jumped and cheered. She put the medal around her neck. It was heavy and cold. She felt proud and happy.
+
+Mom and dad hugged her and said, "You did it, Lily! You won the medal! We are so proud of you!"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you. And I love running."
+
+They went home. Lily showed her medal to everyone. She put it on her shelf. She looked at it and smiled. She was a winner.
+
+But she was also messy. She had dirt and sweat and grass on her clothes and hair. She needed a bath. Mom said, "You did great, Lily. But you are also very messy. You need to take a bath and wash up."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. But can I keep my medal on?"
+
+Mom laughed and said, "Sure, Lily. You can keep your medal on. But be careful. Don't drop it in the water. It might sink."
+
+Lily said, "Okay, mom. I will be careful. I don't want to lose my medal. It is my favorite thing."
+
+She went to the bathroom. She took a bath. She washed her hair and body. She kept her medal on. She was careful. She did not drop it in the water. She was happy. She was clean. She was a winner.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with a ball. They pass the ball to each other and have fun. But one day, they see a big black dog near the park. The dog looks mean and scary. It barks loud and runs fast.
+
+Tom and Jen are afraid of the dog. They want to go home. But the dog is in their way. They do not know what to do. They hold the ball tight and hope the dog will go away.
+
+The dog sees the ball. It likes to play with balls too. It wants the ball. It runs towards Tom and Jen. It jumps and tries to get the ball. Tom and Jen scream and run away. They drop the ball. The dog gets the ball and runs away with it.
+
+Tom and Jen are sad. They lost their ball. They cry and hug each other. They wish they had not dropped the ball. They wish they had passed the ball to each other and made the dog chase them. They wish they had used motion to trick the dog. They wish they had been brave and smart.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn that sometimes it is better to pass than to hold. They learn that motion can help them escape danger. They learn that black does not mean bad. They learn that they can be friends with the dog if they share the ball. They learn that they can have more fun if they work together.
+Sara loves to read books. She reads every day with her mom and dad. She learns many new words and stories. She likes to read about animals, princesses, and adventures.
+
+One day, Sara goes to the library with her mom. She sees a big shelf with many books. She wants to read them all. She picks one book with a picture of a bracelet on the cover. She likes bracelets. She has a pink one that her grandma gave her.
+
+She opens the book and starts to read. She reads about a girl who finds a magic bracelet in a treasure chest. The bracelet gives her three wishes. She wishes for a pony, a castle, and a crown. She becomes a princess and has many friends. Sara thinks the girl is very successful.
+
+She looks at her mom and says, "Mom, can I have a magic bracelet too? I want to be a princess and have wishes."
+
+Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "You don't need a magic bracelet, Sara. You are already a princess in my heart. And you have many gifts. You are smart, kind, and brave. You can make your own wishes come true. Reading books is one way to do that. Books help you imagine and learn and grow."
+
+Sara hugs her mom back. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love reading books. Can we read more books together?"
+
+Her mom says, "Of course, Sara. We can read as many books as you want. Reading books is fun and good for you. Let's go and find some more books to read."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers and the grass. They had a big hose and a small bucket. Lily used the hose and Tom used the bucket.
+
+"Look, Tom, I can make a rainbow with the hose!" Lily said. She sprayed the water in the air and saw the colors.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty!" Tom said. He tried to catch the water with his bucket. He filled it up and ran to Lily. "Now I can soak you!" he said. He threw the water at Lily and laughed.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. She was wet and cold. She grabbed the hose and soaked Tom back. They both laughed and splashed each other.
+
+But then they heard a voice. "What are you two doing?" It was Mom. She came out of the house and saw them. She was not happy. "You are soaking wet! And so is the garden! You are wasting water and making a mess!"
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Lily and Tom said. They looked down and felt bad.
+
+Mom took them inside and dried them with a towel. She gave them some warm clothes and a hug. "Next time, be more careful with the water, okay?" she said. "And don't soak each other or the plants. Water is precious and so are you."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Lily and Tom said. They hugged her back and smiled.
+
+Mom smiled too. She was glad they were okay. She checked their temperature and ears. She was a doctor and she knew how to take care of them. She gave them some juice and a cookie. "Now, why don't you play with your small toys in your room?" she said. "They are dry and fun."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Lily and Tom said. They took their small toys and went to their room. They played nicely and quietly. They did not soak anything or anyone. They were good children.
+Sara was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from her mom or dad. She could brush her teeth, put on her pajamas, and read her books. She was proud of herself and wanted to show her parents.
+
+One night, she decided to stay up late and read more books. She turned on her lamp and picked a book from her shelf. She opened the book and started to read. She liked the pictures and the words. She did not hear her mom calling her name.
+
+"Sara, it's time for bed. Turn off your lamp and come here," her mom said.
+
+But Sara did not listen. She wanted to read more. She turned the page and read on.
+
+"Sara, I'm coming to your room. You need to sleep now," her mom said.
+
+But Sara did not care. She wanted to finish the book. She read faster and faster.
+
+Her mom opened the door and saw Sara reading. She was not happy. She walked to Sara's bed and took the book from her hand.
+
+"Sara, you are being naughty. You need to obey me and go to bed. It's late and you have school tomorrow," her mom said.
+
+But Sara did not like that. She wanted to keep the book. She was angry and sad. She shouted at her mom.
+
+"No, no, no! Give me back my book! I want to read! I don't want to sleep! I can do what I want! I'm independent!" she shouted.
+
+Her mom was shocked and hurt. She did not expect Sara to shout at her. She did not like Sara's attitude. She hugged Sara and tried to calm her down.
+
+"Sara, I love you and I want you to be happy. But you also need to respect me and follow the rules. Being independent does not mean you can do whatever you want. It means you can do things by yourself, but you also need to listen and learn from others. Reading is good, but sleeping is also important. You need to balance your time and activities. Now, please say sorry and let's go to bed," her mom said.
+
+Sara realized she was wrong. She felt sorry for shouting at her mom. She loved her mom and did not want to hurt her. She hugged her mom back and said sorry.
+
+"Sorry, mom. I was rude and selfish. I love you and I respect you. I will go to bed now and read more tomorrow. Thank you for teaching me and helping me," she said.
+
+Her mom smiled and kissed her. She turned off the lamp and tucked her in. She said good night and left the room.
+
+Sara closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of books and adventures. She was still independent, but she was also grateful and obedient. She was a big girl who liked to do things by herself, but she also liked to share and listen. She was happy and peaceful.
+Lily and Max are playing with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. They want to sort their toys into groups. Lily says, "Let's sort by color. I take the red ones, you take the blue ones." Max agrees and they start to sort.
+
+But soon they have a problem. They find a toy that is both red and blue. It is a car with a red body and blue wheels. Lily says, "This is mine. It has red." Max says, "No, this is mine. It has blue." They both pull the car and start to argue.
+
+Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the car and the toys. She says, "Why are you fighting? You can share the car. It has both colors. You can sort it in the middle." Lily and Max look at each other and feel silly. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Max." They hug and let go of the car.
+
+They finish sorting their toys and make three groups: red, blue, and red and blue. They are happy and proud of their work. They show their mom and she says, "Well done! You sorted your toys very well. You are smart and kind. You have a victory!" Lily and Max smile and clap. They feel calm and good. They play with their toys together and have fun.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big bathrobe in their mom's closet. It was blue and soft.
+
+"Let's be superheroes!" Lily said. She put the bathrobe on and tied it around her neck. "I am Super Lily! I can fly and make wind!"
+
+"I want to be a superhero too!" Ben said. He grabbed the other end of the bathrobe and wrapped it around his waist. "I am Super Ben! I can run fast and lift heavy things!"
+
+They ran around the house, making noises and doing tricks. They jumped on the couch, they threw pillows, they rolled on the floor. They had fun.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see. She smiled and clapped her hands. "Wow, you are amazing superheroes!" she said. "But you also made a big mess. It's time to clean up and get ready for bed."
+
+Lily and Ben groaned. They did not want to stop playing. But they knew they had to listen to mom. They took off the bathrobe and put it back in the closet. They picked up the pillows and the toys. They said sorry to mom.
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed them. "You are good kids," she said. "And you can play pretend again tomorrow. Now, let's go to the bathroom and take a nice warm bath."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They followed mom to the bathroom. They washed their faces and their hair. They splashed and giggled. They felt cozy and sleepy.
+
+Mom dried them with a towel and put them in their pajamas. She tucked them in their beds and read them a story. She turned off the light and said good night.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They closed their eyes and dreamed of being superheroes. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars in the garden. One day, they found a big box in the shed. It had many old things inside. They saw a shiny medal with a star on it.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom looked at the medal. He remembered his grandpa had told him a story about it. "This is a war medal. Grandpa got it when he was a soldier. He fought in a big war a long time ago. He said war is very bad and scary. He said we should be kind and patient with each other, not fight."
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to be kind and patient like grandpa. She put the medal back in the box. She saw a red scarf with white dots. She liked it. She took it out and wrapped it around her neck.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Tom said. He grabbed the scarf and pulled it. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She pulled back. "I like it more!"
+
+They started to fight over the scarf. They shouted and pushed each other. They forgot about being kind and patient. They forgot about grandpa and the war medal.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was grandpa. He had come to visit them. He saw them fighting in the garden. He was angry and sad.
+
+"What are you doing?" he asked. "Why are you fighting over a scarf? Don't you know how lucky you are to have each other and to live in peace? Don't you know how many people suffered and died in the war? Don't you know how much I love you both?"
+
+Lily and Tom stopped fighting. They felt ashamed and sorry. They looked at grandpa and the medal. They realized how silly and wrong they were. They hugged each other and said sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Tom. You can have the scarf. I don't need it."
+
+"Sorry, Lily. You can have it. I don't care about it."
+
+They gave the scarf to grandpa. He smiled and hugged them. He put the scarf around his neck and the medal on his chest.
+
+"Thank you, my dear children. You have made me very happy. You have learned a valuable lesson. War is bad. Peace is good. Kindness and patience are better. I hope you will always remember that."
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben liked to play with clay. They made different shapes and animals with their hands. They had a big bowl of clay on the table. Sara wanted to make a snake. She took some clay and rolled it on the table. She made it long and flexible. She gave it eyes and a tongue.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a snake!" Sara said. "It can bend and twist like this." She moved the snake around.
+
+Ben wanted to make a snake too. He took some clay and rolled it on the table. He made it long and flexible. He gave it eyes and a tongue.
+
+"Look, Sara, I made a snake too!" Ben said. "It can bend and twist like this." He moved the snake around.
+
+They put their snakes next to each other on the table. They looked very similar. Sara and Ben smiled.
+
+"Let's make something else," Sara said. "How about a turtle?"
+
+"OK," Ben said. "But first, I need some water. I'm thirsty."
+
+Ben got up and went to the kitchen. He left his snake on the table. Sara paused. She had an idea. She took Ben's snake and put it in the bowl of clay. She covered it with more clay. She made it look like the bowl was full of clay. She giggled.
+
+Ben came back with a glass of water. He looked at the table. He saw Sara's snake and the bowl of clay. He did not see his snake.
+
+"Hey, where's my snake?" Ben asked. "Did you take it?"
+
+"No, I didn't," Sara said. "Maybe it slithered away."
+
+Ben looked around. He did not see his snake. He felt sad. He liked his snake.
+
+"Please, Sara, tell me where my snake is," Ben said. "I want it back."
+
+Sara felt sorry. She saw Ben's sad face. She decided to tell him the truth.
+
+"OK, OK, I'll tell you," Sara said. "Your snake is in the bowl of clay. I hid it there. I'm sorry. I was just playing a joke."
+
+Ben looked at the bowl of clay. He did not believe Sara. He thought she was lying.
+
+"No, it's not," Ben said. "You're lying. You took my snake and you won't give it back."
+
+He reached for the bowl of clay. He wanted to prove Sara wrong. He lifted the bowl of clay. He was surprised. It was heavy. He dropped the bowl of clay. It fell on the floor. It broke. Clay splashed everywhere. Ben's snake came out of the clay. It was still flexible. It bent and twisted on the floor.
+
+"Look, there's your snake!" Sara said. "I told you the truth. I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
+
+Ben looked at his snake. He was happy. He picked it up. He forgave Sara.
+
+"It's OK, Sara," Ben said. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have been angry. It was a funny joke. But don't do it again."
+
+They hugged. They cleaned up the mess. They played with their snakes. They made a turtle. They had fun.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One night, they saw the moon was big and bright in the sky. They wanted to go to the moon and see what was there.
+
+"Let's escape from our room and go to the moon," Sara said to Ben.
+
+"How can we go to the moon?" Ben asked.
+
+"We can use our blankets and pillows to make a rocket," Sara said. "We can put them on the bed and pretend to fly."
+
+They sneaked out of their room and took their blankets and pillows. They piled them on the bed and climbed on top. They made noises like a rocket and imagined they were flying to the moon.
+
+When they got to the moon, they saw it was white and soft. They jumped and bounced on the moon. They saw stars and planets and met a friendly alien. They had fun on the moon.
+
+The moon was peaceful and quiet. They felt happy and sleepy. They lay down on the moon and closed their eyes.
+
+Their mom came to their room and saw them on the bed. She smiled and tucked them in. She kissed them and whispered, "Good night, my little astronauts. I love you."
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. There are many trees in the park. Some trees are big and green. They are pine trees. Tim and Mia like to run around the pine trees.
+
+One day, Tim and Mia see a squirrel on a pine tree. The squirrel is brown and fluffy. It has a long tail. The squirrel is playful. It jumps from one pine tree to another. Tim and Mia want to play with the squirrel.
+
+"Hello, squirrel!" Tim says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The squirrel looks at Tim and Mia. It nods its head. It runs down the pine tree. It comes near Tim and Mia. Tim and Mia are happy. They try to touch the squirrel.
+
+But the squirrel is too fast. It runs away from Tim and Mia. It goes back to the pine tree. It laughs at Tim and Mia.
+
+"Ha ha ha!" the squirrel says. "You are too slow. You cannot catch me. I am the best."
+
+Tim and Mia are sad. They do not like the squirrel. The squirrel is not nice. It is mean.
+
+"Let's go, Mia," Tim says. "We do not want to play with the squirrel. The squirrel is not a good friend. It is rude."
+
+Tim and Mia leave the park. They go to their homes. They hug their moms and dads. They tell them what happened.
+
+Their moms and dads listen to them. They say, "We are sorry, Tim and Mia. The squirrel was not kind to you. But you were kind to the squirrel. You wanted to play with it. You were good friends. You should be proud of yourselves. You should always be kind and friendly to others. That is the right thing to do."
+
+Tim and Mia smile. They say, "Thank you, mom and dad. We love you. We will always be kind and friendly to others. We hope the squirrel will learn to be kind and friendly too."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they quarrel over who gets what. One day, they quarrel over a dish. The dish is dull and old, but it has a picture of a cat on it. Anna likes cats, and Ben likes dogs.
+
+"Give me the dish, Anna!" Ben says. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Anna says. "I saw it first!"
+
+They pull and tug at the dish. They do not listen to their mom, who tells them to share. They do not see that the dish is cracking.
+
+Snap! The dish breaks in two. Anna and Ben are shocked. They look at the broken dish and the cat. They feel sad and sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna says. "I did not mean to break the dish."
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I did not mean to quarrel with you."
+
+They hug and say they are sorry. They give each other half of the dish. They decide to glue it back together. They also decide to find a dish with a dog on it, so they can both be happy. They do not quarrel anymore. They play nicely and share. Their mom is proud of them.
+Sara was very happy. She had a new bike. It was red and shiny. She wanted to ride it in the backyard. She put on her helmet and gloves. She ran to the door with her bike.
+
+But the door was locked. Mom was in the kitchen. She did not hear Sara. Sara knocked on the door. She called for Mom. She waited. She was sad. She could not ride her bike.
+
+Then she saw Dad. He was coming home from work. He had a big smile. He saw Sara and her bike. He opened the door for her. He said, "Hi, Sara. Do you want to ride your bike with me?"
+
+Sara was very happy again. She said, "Yes, Dad. Thank you!" She hugged him. She rushed to the backyard with her bike. Dad followed her. He helped her get on the bike. He held her seat. He said, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+Sara pedaled hard. She felt the wind in her hair. She saw the flowers and the trees. She heard the birds and the bees. She smiled and laughed. She loved her new bike. She loved her backyard. She loved her Dad. She had fun.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. The leaves are green and yellow and red. They are pretty.
+
+"Look at the tree, Lily. It is so big and pretty. Why are the leaves different colors?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Maybe they are changing because it is fall. Fall is when it gets cold and dry. Do you like fall?" Lily answers.
+
+"I like fall, but I don't like dry. Dry makes my skin itch and my lips hurt. I like wet better. Wet makes me happy and cool. Do you like wet?" Tom says.
+
+"I like wet, but not too wet. Too wet makes me wet and cold and muddy. I like sunny better. Sunny makes me warm and bright. Do you like sunny?" Lily says.
+
+They discuss what they like and don't like. They wonder how the tree feels. They wonder if the tree likes fall or wet or sunny. They wonder if the tree can talk. They wonder many things. They are curious and happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to observe the birds and the bugs and the flowers. They had a big bag of bread to feed the ducks.
+
+"Look, Ben, a chubby duck!" Lily said, pointing to a white duck with a yellow beak. "He is so cute. Let's give him some bread."
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. He might bite you." Ben said, breaking a piece of bread and throwing it to the duck.
+
+The duck came closer and closer, quacking loudly. He ate the bread and wanted more. He saw Lily's boot and thought it was food. He bit Lily's boot hard.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily cried, pulling her boot away. "Bad duck! You hurt me!"
+
+Ben ran to help Lily. He shooed the duck away and hugged Lily. "Are you OK, Lily? I'm sorry the duck bit you."
+
+Lily sniffed and rubbed her boot. "It's OK, Ben. It was just a mistake. He didn't know it was my boot. He was hungry."
+
+Ben smiled and kissed Lily's cheek. "You are very brave, Lily. And very kind. Come on, let's find another duck to feed. A nice duck."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled back. She took Ben's hand and they walked to the pond. They observed the ducks and fed them bread. They had fun and forgot about the chubby duck.
+Tom was a small boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many cars, trains, and planes that he zoomed around the floor. One day, he saw a shiny red car that belonged to his big brother. He wanted to play with it, but his brother said no. He said it was his special car and Tom was too small to touch it.
+
+Tom was angry and sad. He waited until his brother went out, and then he took the car from the shelf. He ran to his room and closed the door. He zoomed the car on his bed, pretending it was a race. He had fun, but he did not hear his brother come back. His brother knocked on the door and asked for his car.
+
+Tom was scared. He tried to hide the car under his pillow, but it was too late. His brother opened the door and saw the car. He was very angry and shouted at Tom. He grabbed the car and pulled it hard. Tom held on, but the car broke in half. The wheels and the windows fell off. The car was ruined.
+
+Tom started to cry. He was sorry for what he did. He wished he had listened to his brother and left the car alone. He regretted taking the car. His brother was also sad and cried. He loved his car and now it was gone. He told Tom he was mean and bad.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and the crying boys. She hugged them and said she was sorry. She said they both made a mistake and they should say sorry to each other. She said they could go to the doctor and see if he could fix the car. She said they should share their toys and be kind to each other.
+
+Tom and his brother said sorry and hugged. They wiped their tears and went with their mom to the doctor. The doctor was nice and smiled. He looked at the car and said he could try to fix it. He used some glue and some tape and some paint. He put the car back together and gave it to the boys. He said it was not as good as new, but it was still a good car.
+
+The boys thanked the doctor and smiled. They looked at the car and said it was still a shiny red car. They decided to share it and play together. They learned their lesson and did not regret it anymore. They were happy and went home.
+Tom and Lily were adventurous twins who liked to explore new places. One day, they found a big tent in their backyard. It had a zip that opened and closed the door.
+
+"Let's go inside and see what's there!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Maybe there are bugs or spiders inside," Lily said.
+
+They opened the zip and crawled into the tent. It was dark and cozy. They saw some pillows, blankets, books and toys.
+
+"Wow, this is like a secret fort!" Tom said. "Look, there's a flashlight and a map. Maybe we can go on a treasure hunt!"
+
+"Or maybe we can read a story and pretend we are in a different land," Lily said.
+
+They picked up a book and turned on the flashlight. The book was about a dragon and a princess. They started to read and imagine they were in the story.
+
+They were so busy and happy that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+"Tom! Lily! Where are you?" Mom said. She looked around the backyard and saw the tent. She walked over and opened the zip.
+
+"Hi, Mom!" Tom and Lily said. They smiled and showed her the book and the flashlight.
+
+"What are you doing in here?" Mom asked.
+
+"We are having an adventure in the tent. We found a book about a dragon and a princess," Tom said.
+
+"That sounds fun. But I was worried about you. I didn't know where you were. You should always tell me where you are going," Mom said.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We didn't mean to worry you. We just wanted to explore the tent," Lily said.
+
+"I understand. But next time, please let me know. And now, it's time for lunch. Come on, let's go inside and wash your hands," Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom. Can we come back to the tent later?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. But only after you eat and nap. And don't forget to close the zip," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and followed Mom. They were happy they had an adventurous morning in the tent. And they were glad Mom was not angry with them. They loved Mom and they loved the tent.
+Sara and Tom were eager to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They put on their coats and hats and ran to the car with their mom.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Sara asked.
+
+"Soon, sweetie, soon," Mom said.
+
+They arrived at the park and saw many other kids playing. Sara and Tom ran to the swings and took turns pushing each other. They laughed and shouted with joy.
+
+"Look, a log!" Tom said, pointing to a big piece of wood near the trees. "Let's go and climb on it!"
+
+"Okay!" Sara said, following her brother.
+
+They left the swings and ran to the log. It was brown and rough and had some holes in it. Sara and Tom climbed on top of it and pretended it was a boat.
+
+"We are pirates!" Tom said. "Arrr!"
+
+"We are sailing to a treasure island!" Sara said. "Ahoy!"
+
+They had fun making noises and waving their arms. They did not see the big snake that was hiding in one of the holes in the log. The snake was angry and scared by the noise. It slithered out of the hole and bit Tom on his leg.
+
+"Ow!" Tom screamed. "Something bit me!"
+
+Sara looked and saw the snake. She was terrified and screamed too. Mom heard their screams and ran to them. She saw the snake and the blood on Tom's leg. She grabbed Tom and Sara and ran back to the car.
+
+"Help! Help!" Mom shouted. "My son was bitten by a snake!"
+
+She drove to the hospital as fast as she could. She hoped Tom would be okay. Sara cried and hugged her brother. Tom cried and felt his leg hurt. They were very scared and sad. They wished they had never seen the log.
+Tom and Lily like to play hockey with their dad. They have sticks and a ball and a net in the backyard. They take turns to hit the ball and try to score. Dad is the goalie and he stops the ball with his gloves.
+
+One day, they are playing hockey and having fun. Lily hits the ball very hard and it flies in the air. It goes over the net and over the fence. It lands in the neighbor's yard.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. "We lost the ball!"
+
+Tom runs to the fence and looks over. He sees the ball on the grass. He also sees something else. It is a big, red, shiny car. The ball has hit the car and made a dent.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom says. "We broke the car!"
+
+Dad hears them and comes over. He sees the car and the ball. He sees the neighbor coming out of his house. He is angry and he has a frown.
+
+"Who did this?" the neighbor says. "Who broke my car?"
+
+Dad says sorry to the neighbor. He says it was an accident. He says he will pay for the damage. He says he will get the ball back.
+
+The neighbor is still angry, but he calms down a little. He says he likes hockey, but he does not like dents. He says he has a very unusual car. He says it is very rare and very expensive. He says he will let them have the ball, but they have to be more careful.
+
+Dad thanks the neighbor and takes the ball. He gives it to Lily and Tom. He tells them to play somewhere else. He tells them to be more gentle. He tells them he loves them, but he does not love dents.
+
+Tom and Lily say sorry to Dad and the neighbor. They say they love hockey, but they do not love breaking things. They say they will be more careful. They hug Dad and go to play somewhere else. They hope the neighbor will not be mad at them anymore. They hope the car will be fixed soon. They hope they can still play hockey with Dad.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to act. They had a big box of costumes and props that they used to make up stories and play different roles. Sometimes they acted like animals, sometimes they acted like heroes, sometimes they acted like funny people.
+
+One day, they decided to act like builders. They put on hard hats and vests and gloves and took some tools from the box. They found some wood and some nails and a hammer in the garage. They wanted to build a house for their stuffed animals.
+
+"Let's make a door here," Lily said, pointing to a spot on the wood. "And a window here," Ben said, drawing a square with his finger. They started to hammer the nails into the wood, but it was harder than they thought. The nails kept bending and falling out, and the wood kept splitting and cracking.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried, dropping the hammer. She had hit her thumb with it and it hurt a lot. She started to cry and ran to their mom for a hug and a band-aid.
+
+Ben felt sorry for his sister, but he also felt proud. He had managed to hammer one nail straight into the wood. He thought he was very gifted at building. He wanted to show his sister what he had done. He picked up the hammer and the nail and ran after her.
+
+But he did not see the cord on the floor. He tripped over it and fell down. The hammer flew out of his hand and hit the window. The window broke with a loud crash. Glass shards flew everywhere. Ben was scared and shocked. He started to cry too.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what had happened. She saw the broken window, the wood and nails, the hammer and the costumes. She was angry and worried. She asked them what they were doing and why they had taken the tools from the garage.
+
+"We were acting like builders," Lily and Ben said, sobbing. "We wanted to build a house for our stuffed animals."
+
+Their mom sighed and shook her head. She hugged them and told them they were not allowed to use the tools without permission. She told them they could have hurt themselves or others. She told them they had to clean up the mess and apologize for the window.
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They said they were sorry and helped their mom clean up. They put the tools back in the garage and the costumes back in the box. They gave their stuffed animals a hug and told them they would find another way to make a house for them.
+
+They learned their lesson. They still liked to act, but they never used the tools again. They used cardboard and tape and crayons instead. They were still gifted at acting, but they were also careful and respectful.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big poster with a picture of a rhinoceros. The poster said that the zoo had a new rhinoceros and that everyone could come and see it.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. "The rhinoceros has a big horn on its nose and a thick skin. I want to see it!"
+
+"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's plan to go to the zoo tomorrow. We can ask our moms to take us."
+
+They agreed and ran to their moms, who were sitting on a bench. They told them about the rhinoceros and asked them to take them to the zoo.
+
+"Sure, we can go to the zoo tomorrow," Anna's mom said. "But you have to be polite and say please and thank you."
+
+"And you have to follow the rules and stay close to us," Ben's mom said. "The zoo has many animals and some of them can be dangerous."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said please and thank you. They were very excited and could not wait to see the rhinoceros.
+
+The next day, they went to the zoo with their moms. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. But they were most interested in the rhinoceros. They found its enclosure and looked at it with wonder.
+
+The rhinoceros was very big and gray. It had a long horn on its nose and a smaller one above its eyes. It had a thick skin with folds and wrinkles. It was eating some grass and leaves.
+
+"Hello, rhinoceros!" Anna said. "You are very big and strong. I like your horn."
+
+"Hello, rhinoceros!" Ben said. "You are very cool and brave. I like your skin."
+
+The rhinoceros looked at them and made a snorting sound. It seemed to like them too.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and waved at the rhinoceros. They were very happy and proud. They had seen the rhinoceros and they had been polite and followed the rules. They had a great day at the zoo.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play at the zoo. They see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, and zebras. They also see a big hippo. The hippo is in the water. He looks sad.
+
+Lila says, "Why is the hippo sad?"
+
+Tom says, "Maybe he is lonely. Maybe he wants a friend."
+
+Lila says, "Let's be his friends. Let's give him a kiss."
+
+Tom says, "No, Lila. The hippo is too big. He might bite us. He might be bitter."
+
+Lila says, "No, Tom. The hippo is nice. He just needs love. I will give him a kiss."
+
+Lila runs to the hippo. She climbs over the fence. She goes to the water. She leans over to kiss the hippo.
+
+Tom shouts, "Lila, stop! Come back!"
+
+But it is too late. The hippo opens his mouth. He shows his big teeth. He snaps at Lila. He misses her by a hair.
+
+Lila screams. She falls into the water. She splashes and cries.
+
+Tom runs to get help. He finds a zookeeper. He says, "Help, help! My friend is in the water with the hippo!"
+
+The zookeeper runs to the hippo. He grabs a stick. He pokes the hippo. He makes him go away. He pulls Lila out of the water. He wraps her in a towel. He says, "Are you okay, little girl?"
+
+Lila nods. She is wet and scared. She says, "I'm sorry. I wanted to kiss the hippo. I wanted to make him happy."
+
+The zookeeper says, "I know, Lila. But you can't kiss a hippo. He is wild and dangerous. He doesn't like kisses. He likes grass and mud. You have to be careful with animals. You have to respect them."
+
+Lila says, "I understand. I won't kiss a hippo again. I will just wave at him."
+
+The zookeeper says, "That's good, Lila. Now, where is your friend?"
+
+Lila looks for Tom. She sees him behind the fence. He is shaking and crying. He says, "I'm sorry, Lila. I was scared. I didn't help you."
+
+Lila says, "It's okay, Tom. You got help. You are a good friend."
+
+Lila hugs Tom. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are brave."
+
+Tom hugs Lila. He says, "Thank you, Lila. You are kind."
+
+They smile at each other. They say, "We are friends."
+
+They look at the hippo. He is calm and quiet. He munches on some grass. He looks at them. He winks.
+
+They wink back. They say, "Bye, hippo."
+
+They walk away with the zookeeper. They hold hands. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there are many old things. They see a purple hat, a yellow scarf, a red ball, and a picture.
+
+"Look, Ben, a picture!" Anna says. She takes the picture out of the box. It is a picture of their grandma and grandpa. They are smiling and holding hands.
+
+"Who are they?" Ben asks. He does not remember them.
+
+"They are grandma and grandpa. They love us very much. They live far away. Mommy and daddy talk to them on the phone sometimes." Anna says.
+
+"I want to see them. Can we go to their house?" Ben says.
+
+"Maybe someday. Mommy and daddy say they are very busy. But they send us letters and gifts. Do you remember the teddy bear they gave you for your birthday?" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, I remember. He is soft and brown. I sleep with him every night." Ben says.
+
+"Me too. I sleep with the doll they gave me. She has a purple dress and a yellow bow. She is pretty and nice." Anna says.
+
+They hug their toys and the picture. They are happy. They love grandma and grandpa. They hope to see them soon.
+Sam and Mia like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and pillows. Sometimes they build a fort with the pillows and a big curtain. They put the curtain over the chairs and the bed. They make a door with a smaller curtain. They say it is their secret house.
+
+One day, they want to build a fort again. But they cannot find the big curtain. They look under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers. They ask Mom and Dad, but they do not know. They are sad. They want to play in their fort.
+
+Then they hear a noise from the living room. They go and see. They see the big curtain on the floor. They see their dog, Spot, playing with it. He is biting and pulling and shaking the curtain. He thinks it is a toy. He is happy.
+
+"Spot, no!" Sam and Mia say. "That is our curtain! We need it for our fort!"
+
+They run to Spot and try to take the curtain. But Spot does not want to give it. He growls and runs away. He thinks it is a game. Sam and Mia chase him around the living room. They are not happy.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come and see. They see Sam and Mia and Spot and the curtain. They are surprised.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom and Dad ask.
+
+"We want to build a fort, but Spot took our curtain!" Sam and Mia say.
+
+"Spot, drop it!" Mom and Dad say.
+
+Spot drops the curtain. He looks at Mom and Dad. He wags his tail. He wants to play.
+
+Mom and Dad pick up the curtain. They see it is dirty and torn. They are not happy.
+
+"Spot, bad dog!" Mom and Dad say. "You ruined the curtain!"
+
+They scold Spot. Spot lowers his head. He is sorry.
+
+Sam and Mia feel sorry for Spot. They love him. They hug him.
+
+"It's okay, Spot. We are not mad at you. You did not know. But you cannot play with the curtain. It is not a toy. It is for our fort." Sam and Mia say.
+
+They take the curtain from Mom and Dad. They thank them. They go back to their room. They build their fort. It is not perfect, but it is fun. They invite Spot to join them. He is happy. They are happy. They are ready to play.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the old house near their home. The house was very big and had many rooms, but no one lived there. Some people said the house had a ghost, but Lily and Ben did not believe them.
+
+One day, they went to the house with a flashlight and a cheap toy camera. They wanted to take pictures of the rooms and pretend they were explorers. They walked up the stairs and opened a door. Inside, they saw a bed, a dresser, and a mirror. Lily pointed the camera at the mirror and said, "Say cheese!"
+
+But when she looked at the screen, she saw something that made her scream. There was a face in the mirror that was not hers or Ben's. It was a pale face with big eyes and a mouth that looked like it was saying "boo". It was the ghost!
+
+Lily dropped the camera and ran out of the room, followed by Ben. They ran down the stairs and out of the house, as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached their home, where their mom was waiting for them.
+
+"What's wrong, kids?" she asked, seeing their scared faces.
+
+"We saw a ghost, mom!" Lily said, still shaking.
+
+"A ghost? Where?" mom asked, surprised.
+
+"In the old house, in the mirror!" Ben said, pointing.
+
+Mom looked at the old house and frowned. She did not like the twins playing there. She thought it was dangerous and dirty. She did not believe in ghosts, but she did not want to scare them more.
+
+"Maybe it was just a trick of the light, or a reflection of something else," she said, trying to calm them down. "Why don't you show me the camera? Maybe we can see what it was."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and gave mom the camera. Mom turned it on and looked at the screen. She saw the picture of the mirror, and the face of the ghost. She gasped and stared at it. She did not know what to say. It looked very real and very scary.
+
+She hugged the twins and said, "Maybe we should stay away from the old house for a while. How about we go to the park instead?"
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They did not want to see the ghost again. They grabbed their coats and followed mom to the car. They left the camera on the table, where it still showed the picture of the ghost. The ghost stared back at them, and smiled.
+Sara and Ben are on a trip with Mom and Dad. They are very tired from the car. They want to see the big city, but they have to sleep first. Mom and Dad find a hotel. They enter the hotel with Sara and Ben.
+
+The hotel is very cool. It has a big lobby with a fountain and a piano. Sara and Ben see a lot of people and bags. They want to play and explore. Mom and Dad say no. They have to go to their room and rest.
+
+Sara and Ben are not happy. They do not want to rest. They want to have fun. They see an elevator. They think it is a toy. They run to the elevator and push the buttons. The elevator doors open and close. Sara and Ben enter the elevator.
+
+Mom and Dad see Sara and Ben in the elevator. They are scared. They shout to Sara and Ben to come back. But Sara and Ben do not hear them. The elevator goes up and down. Sara and Ben laugh and scream. They think it is a game.
+
+Mom and Dad ask the hotel staff for help. They tell them their children are in the elevator. The hotel staff are worried. They try to stop the elevator and find Sara and Ben. They use a phone and a key. They talk to Sara and Ben through the phone. They tell them to stay calm and wait.
+
+Sara and Ben hear the voice on the phone. They are confused. They do not know who it is. They are not laughing and screaming anymore. They are quiet and scared. They want Mom and Dad. They push the buttons again. They hope the elevator will open.
+
+The hotel staff use the key to open the elevator. They see Sara and Ben inside. They are relieved. They take Sara and Ben out of the elevator. They bring them to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad hug Sara and Ben. They are happy and angry. They scold Sara and Ben for running away and playing with the elevator. They tell them it is dangerous and rude.
+
+Sara and Ben are sorry. They did not know it was dangerous and rude. They thought it was cool and fun. They say sorry to Mom and Dad and the hotel staff. They promise to behave and listen. They go to their room and rest. They are still tired from the car. They dream of the big city.
+Tim and Lily like to play outside. They have a big lawn with green grass and yellow flowers. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun every day.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily see a man with a big machine. He comes to their lawn and makes a loud noise. He cuts the grass and makes it tidy. He takes away the flowers and the leaves. He makes the lawn look different.
+
+Tim and Lily are sad. They like the grass and the flowers. They run to the man and say, "Stop! Stop! We want our lawn back!"
+
+The man looks at them and smiles. He says, "Don't worry, kids. I'm just doing my job. Your lawn will grow again soon. And you can plant new flowers if you want. The grass will be softer and nicer to play on. You'll see."
+
+Tim and Lily are not sure. They like their lawn the way it was. They ask the man, "Can we help you?"
+
+The man nods. He says, "Sure, you can help me. You can rake the leaves and put them in a bag. You can water the grass and the plants. You can spring on the lawn and make it happy."
+
+Tim and Lily think that sounds fun. They get a rake, a hose and a bag. They work with the man and help him. They spring on the lawn and laugh. They feel the grass tickle their feet. They see the sun shine on the lawn. They think the lawn is still beautiful. They say, "Thank you, man. You are nice. We like our lawn. We will take care of it."
+
+The man says, "You're welcome, kids. You are good helpers. I'm glad you like your lawn. Have fun and be safe."
+
+He waves goodbye and leaves. Tim and Lily wave back and smile. They get their ball, their bike and their kite. They play on their lawn and have fun. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with their blocks. One day, they decided to build a big mountain with all their blocks.
+
+They worked hard and stacked the blocks high and wide. They used blue blocks for the sky, green blocks for the grass, brown blocks for the dirt, and white blocks for the snow. They made the mountain so big that it reached the ceiling. They were very proud of their mountain.
+
+"Look at our mountain, Mommy!" Lila said. "It's the biggest mountain ever!"
+
+"It's very impressive, my darlings," Mommy said. "But be careful not to knock it down. It might fall and hurt you or make a mess."
+
+"We will be careful, Mommy," Ben said. "We love our mountain."
+
+Mommy smiled and went to the kitchen to make some snacks. Lila and Ben looked at their mountain and felt happy. They wanted to make it even more beautiful. They decided to add some modern things to their mountain. They found some shiny blocks that looked like metal and glass. They put them on top of the mountain to make buildings and cars and planes.
+
+"Wow, our mountain is modern now!" Lila said. "It has everything!"
+
+"It's the best mountain ever!" Ben said. "But I wonder what it looks like from the other side."
+
+Ben walked around the mountain to see the other side. He saw more blocks and more colors. He saw a red block that looked like a fire truck. He liked fire trucks. He wanted to play with the fire truck. He reached for the fire truck. He did not see that the fire truck was holding up a lot of other blocks. He did not see that the mountain was not very stable. He did not see that Lila was watching him.
+
+"Ben, don't touch that!" Lila shouted. "You will make the mountain fall!"
+
+But it was too late. Ben pulled the fire truck and the mountain started to shake. The blocks started to slide and tumble. The mountain started to collapse. Lila and Ben screamed and ran away. The mountain fell down with a loud crash. The blocks flew everywhere. The ceiling was covered with dust. The floor was covered with blocks. The mountain was gone.
+
+Mommy heard the noise and came running. She saw the mess and the twins. She was shocked and angry.
+
+"What happened here?" Mommy asked. "Who did this?"
+
+Lila and Ben looked at each other. They looked at the blocks. They looked at Mommy. They knew they were in trouble. They knew they had to tell the truth.
+
+"Ben pushed the mountain," Lila said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy," Ben said. "I wanted the fire truck."
+
+Mommy sighed and shook her head. She was not happy, but she was not too mad. She knew they were just kids. She knew they were just playing. She knew they did not mean to make a mess. She knew they would help her clean up.
+
+"Next time, be more careful, okay?" Mommy said. "And don't build such a big mountain. It's too dangerous."
+
+"Okay, Mommy," Lila and Ben said.
+
+They hugged Mommy and said they were sorry. They picked up the blocks and put them back in the box. They learned their lesson. They still liked to play with blocks, but they never built a big mountain again. They built smaller things that were safer and easier to clean up. They were happy and Mommy was happy. The end.
+Sam was a big boy who liked to learn new things. He was very good at reading, writing and counting. He wanted to show his teacher and his friends how much he knew. He had an exam tomorrow and he was very excited.
+
+But Sam had a problem. His room was filthy. He had toys, books, clothes and papers everywhere. His mom told him to clean his room many times, but he always said later. He was too busy studying or playing. He thought he could manage to do it in the morning.
+
+That night, Sam had a bad dream. He dreamed that he went to school for his exam, but he forgot everything. He could not read the questions, he could not write the answers, he could not count the numbers. He felt very sad and scared. His teacher and his friends looked at him with pity and anger. He wished he had cleaned his room.
+
+He woke up with a start. He looked at his clock. It was very early. He realized it was only a dream, but he felt a warning in his heart. He jumped out of his bed and started to clean his room. He put his toys in the box, his books on the shelf, his clothes in the hamper and his papers in the bin. He made his bed and dusted his desk. He felt very proud and happy.
+
+He went to school for his exam with a smile. He knew he was ready. He read the questions, he wrote the answers, he counted the numbers. He did very well. His teacher and his friends praised him and hugged him. He felt very smart and brave. He was glad he had cleaned his room.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed them. She had some bread in her bag.
+
+"Can we go to the pond, Tom?" she asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The water is deep and thick. Don't fall in," Tom said.
+
+They walked to the pond and threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. Lily and Tom laughed. They saw a big fish with a shiny tail. Lily wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look, Tom, a fish! Can I touch it?" she asked.
+
+"No, Lily, don't. The fish will disappear. It is scared of us," Tom said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She leaned over the pond and reached for the fish. The fish saw her hand and swam away. Lily lost her balance and fell into the water. The water was deep and thick. Lily could not see or breathe. She was scared.
+
+"Help, Tom, help!" she cried.
+
+Tom heard her and ran to the pond. He saw Lily's head and grabbed her hair. He pulled her out of the water. Lily was wet and cold and coughing. Tom hugged her and wrapped her in his jacket.
+
+"Lily, Lily, are you OK?" he asked.
+
+"I'm OK, Tom, I'm sorry. I was silly. I should have listened to you," Lily said.
+
+They walked back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw them and was shocked.
+
+"What happened to you? You are soaked!" she said.
+
+"Lily fell into the pond. She wanted to touch a fish. But the fish disappeared," Tom said.
+
+Mom shook her head and smiled. She was glad they were safe.
+
+"Next time, be more careful. And don't try to touch the fish. They like to be free," she said.
+
+She took them home and gave them a warm bath and a hot chocolate. Lily and Tom learned their lesson. They never tried to touch the fish again.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. Yesterday, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and had a long tail. The dog was friendly and wanted to play.
+
+"Hello, dog," Tom said. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barked and wagged his tail. He licked Tom's face and made him laugh.
+
+"Can I hold him?" Anna asked. She liked dogs too.
+
+"Sure," Tom said. He gave Anna the dog's leash. "But be careful. He is strong and fast."
+
+Anna held the leash and petted the dog. The dog was soft and warm. He snuggled with Anna and made her happy.
+
+"Thank you, dog," Anna said. "You are very nice and humble. You share your love with us."
+
+The dog barked and wagged his tail again. He liked Tom and Anna. They were nice and humble too. They shared their time with him.
+
+They played in the park until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the dog and gave him a hug.
+
+"Bye, dog," Tom said. "We hope to see you again."
+
+"Bye, dog," Anna said. "We will always remember you."
+
+The dog watched them leave. He was happy and sad. He hoped to see them again too. He was their friend.
+Lily and Max liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could build towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks.
+
+One day, they found a new block in their toy box. It was pink and shiny, and it had a button on it. Lily and Max wondered what it did. They pressed the button and heard a beep.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, let's try it on something," Max said.
+
+They looked around and saw a big teddy bear on the floor. They put the pink block next to the teddy bear and pressed the button again. The teddy bear made a squeak and then shrank. It became very small, like a mouse.
+
+"Look, it shrank the teddy bear!" Lily exclaimed.
+
+"That's cool, let's shrink something else," Max said.
+
+They ran around the room and shrank their books, their clothes, their shoes and their toys. They had fun watching everything become tiny. They laughed and clapped their hands.
+
+But then they heard their mom calling them for lunch. They put the pink block in their pocket and went to the kitchen. They forgot to unshrink their things.
+
+When they came back to their room, they saw a big mess. Their things were scattered all over the floor, and they were too small to use. They could not read their books, wear their clothes, or play with their toys. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+"Uh-oh, what did we do?" Lily asked.
+
+"We shrank our things, and we don't know how to make them big again," Max said.
+
+They looked at the pink block and hoped it had another button. But it did not. It only had one button, and it only shrank things.
+
+They wished they had not played with the pink block. They wished they had played with their normal blocks instead. They learned a lesson: be careful with new things, and don't shrink your things.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they have a big task. They want to sell some of their old toys and buy new ones. They put their toys in a box and go to the park.
+
+They see many people in the park. They find a good spot and put a sign that says "Toys for sale". They wait for someone to come and buy their toys.
+
+Soon, a boy comes and looks at their box. He sees a red car and a blue ball. He says, "How much for the car and the ball?"
+
+Tom and Sue look at each other. They do not know how much to ask. They say, "One dollar for both."
+
+The boy says, "That is too much. I only have fifty cents."
+
+Tom and Sue think. They do not want to lose the sale. They say, "OK, fifty cents for both. But you are lucky. They are very good toys."
+
+The boy smiles and gives them fifty cents. He takes the car and the ball and runs away. Tom and Sue are happy. They have sold their first toys. They hope to sell more and buy new ones. They think they are lucky too. They have a fun task and a good friend.
+Sam was hungry. He wanted a sandwich. He asked his mom for a sandwich. Mom said, "Okay, Sam, I will make you a sandwich. What do you want on it?"
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He liked cheese and ham and butter. He said, "I want cheese and ham and butter, please."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Okay, Sam, I will make you a cheese and ham and butter sandwich. You wait here and I will be back soon."
+
+Sam waited on the couch. He looked at his toys. He did not want to play with his toys. He wanted a sandwich. He felt his tummy rumble. He sighed. He wished mom would hurry up.
+
+Mom came back with a plate. She had a sandwich on it. She gave it to Sam. Sam looked at the sandwich. He saw cheese and ham and butter. He also saw something else. Something green and leafy. Something he did not like.
+
+"Mom, what is this?" Sam asked, pointing at the green thing.
+
+"That is lettuce, Sam. It is good for you. It makes your sandwich crunchy and fresh. Try it, you might like it."
+
+Sam did not want to try it. He did not like lettuce. He wanted a smooth sandwich. He pushed the plate away. He said, "No, thank you, mom. I do not want lettuce. I want a smooth sandwich."
+
+Mom looked sad. She said, "Sam, I made this sandwich for you. I thought you would like it. It is a waste to throw it away. Please, eat your sandwich. It is yummy and healthy."
+
+Sam looked at mom. He saw her sad face. He felt sorry. He did not want to make mom sad. He picked up the sandwich. He took a small bite. He tasted cheese and ham and butter. He also tasted lettuce. He did not like lettuce. But he did not say anything. He ate his sandwich. He tried to smile.
+
+Mom saw Sam eating his sandwich. She smiled. She said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good boy. I am proud of you. Do you want some juice?"
+
+Sam nodded. He wanted some juice. He finished his sandwich. He drank his juice. He felt full. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+Mom hugged Sam. She said, "I love you too, Sam. You are welcome. Do you want to play with your toys now?"
+
+Sam nodded. He wanted to play with his toys now. He felt happy. He forgot about the lettuce. He jumped off the couch. He ran to his toys. He had fun.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a small patch of dirt where they plant seeds. They water the seeds every day and wait for them to grow.
+
+One day, they see some green shoots coming out of the dirt. They are very happy. They run to their mom and tell her.
+
+"Look, mom, our seeds are growing!" they say.
+
+"Wow, that's wonderful!" mom says. "You are very successful gardeners!"
+
+Tom and Lily smile. They go back to the garden. They want to see their plants grow more.
+
+But when they get there, they see a big problem. A rabbit is eating their plants. It has nibbled on their green shoots and leaves. Tom and Lily are very angry. They shout at the rabbit.
+
+"Go away, rabbit! Stop eating our plants!" they say.
+
+The rabbit looks at them. It does not care. It keeps eating their plants. Tom and Lily are very sad. They do not know what to do.
+
+They run to their dad and tell him.
+
+"Dad, dad, a rabbit is eating our plants!" they say.
+
+"Oh no, that's not good!" dad says. "Let's go and scare it away!"
+
+Dad takes a broom and follows Tom and Lily to the garden. He sees the rabbit. He waves the broom at it. He makes a loud noise.
+
+"Shoo, shoo, rabbit! Leave our plants alone!" he says.
+
+The rabbit sees dad. It gets scared. It hops away. It runs to the fence and jumps over it. It is gone.
+
+Tom and Lily cheer. They hug dad. They thank him.
+
+"Thank you, dad, you saved our plants!" they say.
+
+"You're welcome, kids, I'm glad I could help!" dad says. "Now let's go and have some lunch. It's almost noon and I'm hungry!"
+
+Tom and Lily agree. They are hungry too. They leave the garden. They hope their plants will grow more. They are proud of their garden. They are successful gardeners.
+Lila was a gifted girl who loved to feed the birds. Every spring, she would make a bird feeder with her dad and fill it with seeds and nuts. She would hang it on a tree in her backyard and watch the birds come and eat.
+
+One day, she saw a new bird on her feeder. It was small and brown, with a red spot on its head. It looked scared and hungry. Lila wanted to be its friend.
+
+"Hello, bird," she said softly. "I'm Lila. Do you like the food?"
+
+The bird looked at her and chirped. It seemed to say thank you.
+
+"What's your name?" Lila asked.
+
+The bird chirped again. It sounded like it said Woody.
+
+"Woody? That's a nice name. You can come here anytime, Woody. I have more food for you and your friends."
+
+Woody nodded and pecked at the seeds. He liked Lila. She was kind and gifted. He decided to stay with her for the spring.
+Sam and Lily are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They see a big dog near the fence. The dog is barking and growling. It looks angry and scary.
+
+"Let's go see the dog!" Sam says. He likes dogs and wants to pet it.
+
+"No, Sam, that dog is dangerous!" Lily says. She is afraid of the dog and does not want to go near it. "It can bite us and hurt us. We should stay away from it."
+
+Sam does not listen to Lily. He runs to the fence and tries to touch the dog. The dog makes a loud noise and snaps at Sam. Sam is scared and runs back to Lily.
+
+"I told you, Sam, that dog is dangerous!" Lily says. She hugs Sam and tries to calm him down. "Are you okay? Did the dog hurt you?"
+
+Sam is crying and shaking. He is sorry that he did not listen to Lily. He says, "I'm okay, Lily, but the dog was very mean. I should have listened to you. You are a good friend. I will not refuse you again."
+
+Lily smiles and says, "It's okay, Sam, I'm glad you are okay. You are a good friend too. Let's go play somewhere else, away from the dog."
+
+They hold hands and walk to the other side of the park. They find a sandbox and start to build a castle. They are happy and safe. They forget about the dog and have fun.
+Anna and Ben love to help Mom in the kitchen. They like to mix and stir and pour and taste. Today, Mom is making a yummy dessert for dinner. She says it is called a twist cake.
+
+"What is a twist cake?" Anna asks.
+
+"It is a cake with two colors that twist together, like a snake," Mom says. She shows them a bowl of white batter and a bowl of brown batter. "We need to put some of each batter in the pan, and then use a knife to make swirls."
+
+Anna and Ben take turns to scoop some batter with a big spoon. They are careful not to spill. They make dots of white and brown in the pan. Then Mom gives them a knife and shows them how to drag it through the batter, making twisty patterns.
+
+"That looks fun!" Ben says.
+
+"And pretty!" Anna says.
+
+Mom puts the pan in the oven and sets the timer. She tells Anna and Ben to wash their hands and play while they wait. They go to the living room and build a tower with blocks. They hear a ding from the kitchen.
+
+"The cake is ready!" Mom says. She takes it out of the oven and lets it cool on a rack. She cuts a slice for each of them and puts some whipped cream on top.
+
+Anna and Ben take a bite of their twist cake. It is soft and sweet and yummy. They can taste the white and the brown. They smile and say thank you to Mom.
+
+Mom smiles back and says, "You're welcome. You did a great job helping me. I'm proud of you."
+
+Anna and Ben hug Mom and finish their dessert. They think twist cake is the best cake ever.
+Tim and Sam were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make loud noises and pretend they were racing. They had a big red car and a small blue car. They also had a missile that could shoot from the red car.
+
+"Look, Sam, I can shoot the missile at the tree!" Tim said. He pressed a button and the missile flew out of the car. It hit the tree and made a loud bang.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Sam said. He wanted to try it too. He took the red car from Tim and aimed at the fence. He pressed the button and the missile flew out of the car. But it did not hit the fence. It went over the fence and into the neighbor's garden.
+
+"Oh no!" Tim and Sam said. They ran to the fence and looked over. They saw the missile had hit a big pot of flowers. The pot was broken and the flowers were scattered. The neighbor, Mrs. Lee, was watering her plants. She looked very angry and sad.
+
+"Who did this?" Mrs. Lee shouted. "Who disturbed my flowers? They were my favorite!"
+
+Tim and Sam felt scared and sorry. They did not mean to disturb Mrs. Lee or her flowers. They climbed over the fence and went to Mrs. Lee.
+
+"We did it, Mrs. Lee," Tim said. "We are sorry. We were playing with our missile and it went over the fence. We did not see your flowers."
+
+"We are very sorry, Mrs. Lee," Sam said. "We did not want to make you sad. Can we help you fix your pot and your flowers?"
+
+Mrs. Lee looked at Tim and Sam. She saw they were sincere and regretful. She sighed and smiled a little.
+
+"Thank you for telling me the truth and for apologizing," Mrs. Lee said. "It was an accident, but you should be more careful with your missile. It can be dangerous. And you should not disturb other people's gardens. They are their pride and joy."
+
+"Yes, Mrs. Lee, we understand," Tim and Sam said. "We will be more careful and respectful. Can we help you fix your pot and your flowers?"
+
+"Yes, you can," Mrs. Lee said. "Come on, let's go to the shed and get some tools and soil. Maybe we can find some new flowers too."
+
+Tim and Sam followed Mrs. Lee to the shed. They helped her fix her pot and plant some new flowers. They also gave her their missile as a gift. They said they did not need it anymore. They said they would rather play with their cars and be nice to their neighbors.
+
+Mrs. Lee thanked them and hugged them. She said they were good boys and she forgave them. She said she liked their missile and she would keep it as a decoration. She said she was not sad anymore. She said she was happy to have such good neighbors.
+
+Tim and Sam smiled and hugged her back. They said they were happy too. They said they were sorry for disturbing her and they were glad to make her happy. They said they liked her and her flowers. They said they would come and visit her again.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys on the rug in the living room. But today, Mom is busy. She has to work on her laptop and talk on the phone. She tells Tom and Lily to be quiet and not to bother her.
+
+Tom and Lily try to play quietly, but they get bored. They want to see what Mom is doing. They sneak up to her and stare at her laptop. They see a lot of words and pictures that they do not understand. They wonder what Mom is working on.
+
+Mom sees Tom and Lily staring at her laptop. She gets annoyed. She tells them to go back to the rug and play with their toys. She says she needs to finish her work and she will play with them later. She says they are good kids, but they have to be patient.
+
+Tom and Lily feel sad. They do not like to make Mom angry. They go back to the rug and play with their toys. But they do not have fun. They miss Mom. They hope she will finish her work soon and play with them. They love Mom.
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They had a ball, a bike and a kite. They ran and laughed and had fun.
+
+But the sun was very hot. It made them sweat and thirsty. They looked for a place to rest and drink water.
+
+They saw a big tree. It had green leaves and brown bark. It gave a lot of shade. They ran to the tree.
+
+But there was a problem. The tree had only one part of shade. The other part was sunny. Tom and Anna both wanted the shade.
+
+"I saw it first!" Tom said. He put his ball in the shade.
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Anna said. She put her bike in the shade.
+
+They both tried to fit in the shade. But they could not. They pushed and pulled and argued.
+
+They were very stubborn. They did not want to share. They did not want to move.
+
+They forgot to have fun. They forgot to be kind.
+
+A bird was watching them from the tree. It shook its head. It flew away. It did not like to see them fight. It liked to see them play.
+Mia and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the trees and swing on the ropes. Mia was very flexible. She could bend and twist her body in many ways. Ben was not so flexible, but he was brave and strong.
+
+One day, they saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to explore it. Mia went first. She crawled into the hole and found a secret tunnel. She called Ben to follow her. "Come on, Ben, this is fun!" she said.
+
+Ben tried to squeeze into the hole, but he was too big. He got stuck. He felt scared and hurt. He shouted for help. "Mia, Mia, I can't move! I need help!"
+
+Mia heard Ben's voice. She crawled back to the hole. She saw Ben's face. He was crying. She felt sorry for him. She tried to pull him out, but he was too heavy. She needed help too.
+
+She saw a man walking by with a dog. She waved and yelled. "Help, help, please help! My friend is stuck in the tree!"
+
+The man heard Mia. He came over and saw Ben. He was a kind man. He had a bandage in his pocket. He used it to wrap around Ben's arm. He gently pulled Ben out of the hole. He checked if Ben was okay. He gave him a hug.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, you are very nice!" Mia and Ben said to the man.
+
+"You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm glad you're okay!" the man said to Mia and Ben. "But be careful next time, okay? Not all holes are safe to explore. And not all trees are flexible enough to fit you."
+
+Mia and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They thanked the man again and said goodbye. They went back to their parents. They told them what happened. They showed them the bandage. They said they were sorry. They said they belonged to each other. They said they were still friends. They said they loved each other.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a bridge over a stream. They wanted to cross the bridge and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. He ran to the bridge and started to walk over it.
+
+"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily said. She followed him, but she was slower. She was scared of the water. She held on to the railing.
+
+Ben was impatient. He wanted to see the other side. He did not like to wait. He looked back at Lily and said, "Hurry up, Lily! You are too slow!"
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not like to be called slow. She wanted to be brave. She said, "I'm trying, Ben! Don't be mean!"
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not want to hurt Lily's feelings. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm not mean. I'm just excited. Come on, I'll help you."
+
+He went back to Lily and took her hand. He said, "The bridge is not scary. It is fun. Look at the fish and the ducks in the water. They are happy. We can be happy too."
+
+Lily smiled. She felt better. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I'm happy too."
+
+They crossed the bridge together. They saw a big tree and a swing on the other side. They said, "Wow, this is cool!"
+
+They played under the tree and on the swing. They had a lot of fun. They included each other in their games. They were happy.
+Anna loved her camera. She liked to take pictures of everything she saw: her toys, her family, her dog, the flowers, the sky. She wanted to show her pictures to her friends at school. She was very proud of her camera.
+
+One day, Anna was playing with her camera in the park. She saw a big bird on a tree. She wanted to take a picture of the bird. She ran towards the tree, holding her camera. She did not see the rock on the ground. She tripped over the rock and fell down. Her camera flew out of her hand and landed on the grass.
+
+Anna started to cry. She hurt her knee and her hand. She was scared and sad. She looked for her camera. She saw it on the grass, but it was broken. The lens was cracked and the screen was black. Anna cried louder. She lost her camera.
+
+"Anna, what happened?" She heard a voice. It was her friend Ben. He was playing in the park too. He saw Anna fall and ran to help her. He was a compassionate friend. He cared about Anna.
+
+"Ben, I broke my camera!" Anna sobbed. She showed him her camera. "I wanted to take a picture of the bird, but I tripped and fell. Now my camera is gone. I can't take pictures anymore."
+
+Ben looked at the camera. He felt sorry for Anna. He knew how much she loved her camera. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. That's very sad. But don't worry, your camera is not gone. Maybe we can fix it. Or maybe your mom and dad can buy you a new one. You can still take pictures, Anna. You have a good eye and a good heart. You are a great photographer."
+
+Anna felt a little better. She hugged Ben back and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You comfort me. You make me feel happy."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "You're welcome, Anna. You are my friend too. You make me happy too. Come on, let's go to the playground. Maybe we can see the bird again. And maybe we can find another camera."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Okay, Ben. Let's go. Maybe we can."
+
+They held hands and walked to the playground. They still had fun, even without the camera. They were happy, because they had each other.
+Anna likes to visit her grandma every week. Grandma lives in a big house with a garden and many flowers. Anna likes to help grandma water the flowers and feed the birds. Grandma tells Anna stories and gives her cookies.
+
+One day, Anna and grandma are sitting on the sofa, reading a book. Anna asks grandma, "What is a brain, grandma?"
+
+Grandma smiles and says, "A brain is a part of your body, inside your head. It helps you think and remember and learn. Everyone has a brain, even the birds and the flowers."
+
+Anna is curious and says, "Can I see your brain, grandma?"
+
+Grandma laughs and says, "No, dear, you can't see my brain. It is hidden under my hair and skin and bones. But you can feel it sometimes, when you have a headache or a dream."
+
+Anna nods and says, "I have dreams sometimes, when I am sleepy. Do you have dreams, grandma?"
+
+Grandma says, "Yes, I do. Sometimes I dream of when I was a little girl, like you. Sometimes I dream of places I have been or people I have loved. Dreams are like pictures in your brain, when you are asleep."
+
+Anna says, "I like dreams. They are fun and funny. What do you dream of, grandma?"
+
+Grandma says, "I dream of you, Anna. You are my favorite dream. You make me happy and proud. You are my smart and sweet granddaughter. I love you very much."
+
+Anna hugs grandma and says, "I love you too, grandma. You are my best friend. Can I stay with you tonight and have more dreams?"
+
+Grandma says, "Of course, you can. You are always welcome here. Come, let's go to bed. We are both sleepy. Good night, Anna."
+
+Anna says, "Good night, grandma. Thank you for visiting me in your brain."
+Sara and Tom are going to the shore with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They love to play in the sand and water. They prepare their bags with toys, hats, and snacks.
+
+"Are you ready, Sara and Tom?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we are ready!" Sara and Tom say.
+
+They get in the car and drive to the shore. They see the blue water and the yellow sand. They hear the waves and the seagulls. They smell the salt and the sun.
+
+"Wow, the shore is so beautiful!" Sara says.
+
+"Let's go and have fun!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the sand and start to build a castle. They use buckets, shovels, and shells. They make towers, walls, and a door. They are very proud of their castle.

+
+"That's a wonderful castle, Sara and Tom!" Mom and Dad say.
+
+They take a picture of the castle and the children. They hug and smile. They have a great day at the shore.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the old house. They liked to explore the rooms and find things. They saw a big door with a lock. They wanted to see what was behind it.
+
+"Let's try to open it," Tom said. He found a key on a table. He put it in the lock and turned it. The door opened with a loud creak.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Mia said. She saw a big room with many books and pictures. There was a lot of dust and cobwebs. It looked very ancient.
+
+"Maybe we can find something cool," Tom said. He walked into the room and looked around. He saw a big spider on the wall. It was black and hairy. It had eight legs and eight eyes. It was very scary.
+
+"Tom, don't go near it!" Mia said. She was afraid of spiders. She stayed by the door.
+
+"It's okay, it's just a spider," Tom said. He wanted to touch it. He reached out his hand and moved it closer to the spider.
+
+The spider did not like that. It felt threatened. It jumped from the wall and bit Tom's hand. Tom screamed and dropped the key. The key fell on the floor and rolled under a bookcase.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Mia said. She ran to him and saw his hand. It was red and swollen. It hurt a lot.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom said. He was crying. He wanted to go out of the room.
+
+Mia tried to find the key. She looked under the bookcase. She could not see it. It was too dark and too far. She could not reach it.
+
+"Where is the key?" Mia said. She was panicking. She wanted to open the door.
+
+The door was locked. They could not get out. They were trapped in the room with the spider. They were very scared. They did not know what to do.
+
+The spider was hungry. It crawled towards them. It wanted to eat them. They screamed and screamed. But no one heard them. No one came to help them. They were alone. They were doomed.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together in their room upstairs. They have many toys and books and games. But sometimes they fight over their things. They do not like to share or take turns.
+
+One day, they have a big fight. Sara wants to play with the doll and Ben wants to play with the car. They pull and push and shout. "Mine! Mine!" they say. Mom hears them and comes upstairs. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop fighting, Sara and Ben!" Mom says. "You are making a lot of noise and a big mess. You need to learn to play nicely or you will have to separate."
+
+Sara and Ben do not want to separate. They love each other and their room. But they do not want to give up their toys either. They look at Mom and pout.
+
+Mom has an idea. She says, "How about this? You can each choose one toy to play with for a while. Then you can swap and play with the other toy. And when you are done, you can tidy up your room together. Does that sound fair?"
+
+Sara and Ben think about it. They nod and agree. They each pick a toy and start to play. They are quiet and calm. After a while, they swap and play with the other toy. They have fun and learn to share. When they are done, they tidy up their room together. They put their toys and books and games in their places. They are proud and happy.
+
+Mom comes upstairs and sees their tidy room. She smiles and hugs them. She says, "Well done, Sara and Ben! You are very good twins. I am proud of you. Now you can have a snack and a story. What do you say?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Thank you, Mom! We love you!" They go downstairs with Mom. They have a snack and a story. They are glad they learned to play nicely and not to separate.
+Tom was playing with his ball in the park. He liked to kick it hard and run after it. He saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was barking and running too. Tom thought the dog wanted to play with him and his ball.
+
+He kicked the ball to the dog and smiled. The dog ran to the ball and bit it. The ball popped and made a loud noise. Tom was scared and sad. He wanted his ball back. He ran to the dog and tried to take the ball from its mouth. The dog growled and bit Tom's hand. Tom felt a lot of pain in his hand. He cried and let go of the ball.
+
+A lady came to help Tom. She was the dog's owner. She said she was sorry and took the dog away. She gave Tom a band-aid for his hand. She said the dog was not friendly and did not like to share. She said Tom should not go near dogs he did not recognize. She said he should ask before he played with them.
+
+Tom learned a lesson. He said thank you to the lady and went home with his mom. His hand still hurt a lot. He had a persistent pain. He wished he had a new ball. He decided he did not like dogs very much. He liked cats better. They were soft and quiet and did not bite. He hoped to get a cat for his birthday.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a bird on the ground. The bird has a wire around its wing. The bird is sad and scared.
+
+"Look, Tom, a bird!" Lila says. "It needs help. The wire hurts it."
+
+"Let's help the bird, Lila," Tom says. "We can care for it. We can take the wire off."
+
+They go near the bird. The bird tries to fly away, but it can't. Lila and Tom are gentle. They talk to the bird. They say nice things.
+
+"Don't be afraid, bird," Lila says. "We are your friends. We want to help you."
+
+"Stay still, bird," Tom says. "We will take the wire off. It will be okay."

+They use their hands to take the wire off. The wire is tight and sharp. They are careful. They don't hurt the bird. They take the wire off.
+
+The bird is free. The bird is happy. The bird flaps its wing. The bird sings a song.
+
+"Thank you, Lila and Tom," the bird says. "You are kind and brave. You cared for me. You saved me."
+
+"You're welcome, bird," Lila and Tom say. "We are glad you are okay. We are glad you can fly."
+
+The bird flies away. The bird waves its wing. Lila and Tom wave back. They smile. They are proud. They are friends.
+Lily loved yogurt. She ate it every day for breakfast. She liked to make funny faces with it on her spoon. She also liked to share it with her dog, Spot. Spot loved yogurt too. He licked it from Lily's hand.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, it's time to bathe. You have yogurt on your face and hair. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." Lily did not want to bathe. She wanted to play with Spot. She said, "No, mom. I don't want to bathe. I want to play."
+
+Lily's mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, you have to bathe. You are dirty and sticky. You will get sick if you don't bathe. Please, be a good girl and come with me." Lily still did not want to bathe. She ran away from her mom. She hid under the bed with Spot.
+
+Lily's mom looked for her. She found her under the bed. She said, "Lily, come out of there. You can't hide from me. You have to bathe now." Lily said, "No, mom. Leave me alone. I don't like to bathe. It's cold and wet and boring."
+
+Lily's mom was very angry. She pulled Lily out from under the bed. She carried her to the bathroom. She put her in the tub. She turned on the water. She said, "Lily, you are a naughty girl. You don't listen to me. You don't care about your health. You don't respect your things. You have ruined your clothes and your bed with yogurt. You have to bathe and you have to learn your lesson. No more yogurt for you. Ever."
+
+Lily cried. She hated the water. She hated her mom. She hated the tub. She wanted her yogurt. She wanted her dog. She wanted to play. She said, "Mom, please, I'm sorry. I'll bathe. I'll be a good girl. Please, don't take away my yogurt. I love yogurt. I love Spot. I love you."
+
+But it was too late. Lily's mom did not listen. She did not care. She was too mad. She washed Lily with a rough sponge. She scrubbed her hard. She said, "No, Lily. You have to pay for what you did. You have to suffer. You have to feel the pain. You have to know how it feels to lose something you love. You have to say goodbye to yogurt. Forever."
+
+Lily screamed. She felt the pain. She felt the loss. She felt the hate. She said, "Mom, you are a mean mom. You are a bad mom. You are a cruel mom. You don't love me. You don't love Spot. You don't love yogurt. You only love yourself. You are a selfish mom. You are a horrible mom. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you."
+
+The end.
+Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play by the lake. They found a big log that floated on the water. They decided to make it their boat and sail around the lake.
+
+They took turns to be the captain and the sailor. They had fun pretending to see fish, birds and islands. They sang songs and waved to other people.
+
+One day, a boy named Max came to the lake. He saw Lila and Ben on their log boat. He wanted to join them, but he did not ask nicely. He said, "That's a silly boat. It's just a log. Let me sail with you or I'll push you off."
+
+Lila and Ben did not like Max. He was rude and mean. They said, "No, you can't sail with us. You have to ask nicely and share. This is our boat and we made it. Go away."
+
+Max got angry. He ran to the log and tried to push Lila and Ben off. But he slipped and fell into the water. He splashed and cried. He was wet and cold.
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry for Max. They helped him out of the water. They said, "Are you okay? You should not be rude and mean. You should be kind and friendly. Then maybe we can be friends and sail together."
+
+Max realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry. I was rude and mean. I should have asked nicely and shared. Can we be friends and sail together?"
+
+Lila and Ben smiled. They said, "Yes, we can be friends and sail together. But you have to promise to be nice and share. And you have to help us make our boat better."
+
+Max agreed. He said, "I promise. I will be nice and share. And I will help you make your boat better."
+
+They all hugged and became friends. They sailed around the lake on their log boat. They had fun and learned to be kind and friendly.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be kind and friendly, not rude and mean. Ask nicely and share, don't push and take. You can make friends and have fun if you respect and help others.
+Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir, pour, and taste. One day, mom said they were going to make a special soup for dad. He was sick and needed something warm and good.
+
+"What do we need, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"We need some water, some carrots, some potatoes, and some broccoli," mom said.
+
+Anna knew what water, carrots, and potatoes were. But she did not know what broccoli was. She looked at the green thing mom held in her hand. It had a big stem and many little trees on top.
+
+"What is that?" Anna asked.
+
+"That is broccoli. It is a vegetable. It is good for you. It has vitamins and minerals," mom said.
+
+Anna was not sure. She did not like the color or the shape of broccoli. She thought it looked funny and yucky.
+
+"I don't like broccoli," Anna said.
+
+"Have you ever tried it?" mom asked.
+
+"No," Anna said.
+
+"Well, you should try it before you say you don't like it. Maybe you will like it. It is crunchy and tasty. And dad likes it. He will be happy if we put some in the soup," mom said.
+
+Anna thought about dad. She loved dad. She wanted him to be happy and not sick. She wanted to make him a special soup. She decided to try broccoli.
+
+"OK, mom. I will try it. How do I do it?" Anna asked.
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud of Anna. She cut a small piece of broccoli and gave it to Anna.
+
+"Just put it in your mouth and chew. Tell me what you think," mom said.
+
+Anna took the broccoli and put it in her mouth. She chewed. She was surprised. It was not yucky. It was crunchy and tasty. She liked it.
+
+"I like it, mom. I like broccoli," Anna said.
+
+Mom hugged Anna. She was happy.
+
+"That's great, Anna. I'm glad you like it. Now, can you help me deliver the soup to dad? He is in bed. He will be happy to see you and to eat the soup," mom said.
+
+Anna was enthusiastic. She wanted to help mom deliver the soup to dad. She wanted to see dad and to eat the soup with him. She wanted to tell him she liked broccoli.
+
+"OK, mom. Let's go. I want to see dad. I want to eat the soup. I want to tell him I like broccoli," Anna said.
+
+Mom and Anna took the pot of soup and two bowls and spoons. They went to dad's room. They knocked on the door.
+
+"Dad, dad, we have a special soup for you. We made it with water, carrots, potatoes, and broccoli. We want to eat it with you. We want to make you feel better. We love you," Anna said.
+
+Dad opened the door. He smiled. He saw mom and Anna with the soup. He smelled the soup. He felt the love.
+
+"Thank you, mom. Thank you, Anna. You are the best. I love you too. Come in. Let's eat the soup. It looks delicious. And you know what? I love broccoli too," dad said.
+Lily likes to draw with her pencil. She has many colors of pencils, but her favorite is blue. She draws the sky, the sea, and her cat with blue pencil.
+
+One day, she wants to draw a car. She asks her dad, "Dad, how do I draw a car?"
+
+Her dad says, "A car has four wheels, a window, and a door. You can draw a car with any color you like."
+
+Lily picks a red pencil and starts to draw a car. She draws a big circle for the wheel, a small circle for the window, and a line for the door. She draws very fast, because she is excited.
+
+But she makes a mistake. She draws the window too big, and the door too small. The car looks funny. Lily is sad. She says, "Dad, I don't like my car. It is not good."
+
+Her dad says, "Don't be sad, Lily. You can fix your car. You can use a clear pencil to erase your mistake. A clear pencil is like a magic pencil. It makes the color go away."
+
+Lily says, "Really? A clear pencil can do that?"
+
+Her dad says, "Yes, really. Here, I have a clear pencil for you. Try it."
+
+Lily takes the clear pencil and rubs it on the window and the door. She sees the color go away. She says, "Wow, it works! The color is gone!"
+
+Her dad says, "Good job, Lily. Now you can draw the window and the door again, with the right size."
+
+Lily says, "Thank you, dad. You are the best."
+
+She draws the window and the door again, with the red pencil. She draws slowly and carefully. She makes the car look nice. She is happy. She says, "Look, dad. I made a car. A red car. It can speed very fast."
+
+Her dad says, "You did, Lily. You made a beautiful car. I am proud of you."
+
+He hugs her and kisses her. He says, "You are a great artist, Lily. You can draw anything you want, with your pencils."
+
+Lily smiles and says, "I love you, dad. And I love my pencils."
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together at school. Today, they are playing with puppets. Tom has a puppet of a lion. Lily has a puppet of a mouse. They make up a story about the lion and the mouse.
+
+"Roar!" says Tom, making his puppet sound like a lion. "I am hungry. I will eat you, little mouse!"
+
+"Please, no!" says Lily, making her puppet sound like a mouse. "I am small and not tasty. Let me go!"
+
+"OK," says Tom, making his puppet sound like a nice lion. "I will let you go. But you have to do something for me."
+
+"What is it?" says Lily, making her puppet sound like a curious mouse.
+
+"You have to help me get a thorn out of my paw. It hurts a lot," says Tom, making his puppet show a thorn.
+
+"I will help you," says Lily, making her puppet pull out the thorn. "There, it is gone. Does it feel better?"
+
+"Yes, it does. Thank you, little mouse. You are a good friend," says Tom, making his puppet hug the mouse.
+
+"You are welcome, big lion. You are a good friend, too," says Lily, making her puppet hug the lion.
+
+The teacher sees Tom and Lily playing with their puppets. She smiles and claps her hands. "That was a wonderful story, Tom and Lily. You did a great job. Everyone, let's applaud for Tom and Lily!"
+
+The other children clap their hands, too. They like the story of the lion and the mouse. Tom and Lily feel happy and proud. They bow and say, "Thank you, thank you!"
+
+Then, Lily says, "I have to go to the bathroom. Can you wait for me, Tom?"
+
+"Sure, I will wait for you," says Tom. "But be quiet, OK? The teacher is reading a book to the other children."
+
+"OK, I will be quiet," says Lily. She puts down her puppet and goes to the bathroom. Tom puts down his puppet and waits for her. He likes playing with Lily. She is his best friend.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Lily always took Anna with her when she went to the park, to the store or to bed.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw some other kids playing on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. She wanted to join them, so she put Anna on a bench and ran to the sandbox. She made a big castle with sand and shells. She was having fun.
+
+But then, a big boy came to the bench and saw Anna. He liked Anna's dress and hair. He grabbed Anna and ran away. Lily saw him and shouted, "Hey, that's my doll! Give her back!"
+
+The big boy did not listen. He laughed and said, "No, she's mine now. She's better than your other dolls. She belongs to me."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She ran after the big boy, but he was faster. He went to the other side of the park, where there was a pond. He threw Anna into the pond and said, "There, now you can't have her. She's a fish now."
+
+Lily cried. She loved Anna. She wanted her back. She looked at the pond and saw Anna sinking. Anna's dress and hair were wet and dirty. Anna's smile was gone. Lily felt a heavy weight in her chest.
+
+Her mom came and hugged her. She saw what happened and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That was a very mean boy. He should not have taken your doll. He should not have thrown her in the pond. He was wrong."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Can we get Anna back, mom? Please?"
+
+Her mom said, "I don't know, Lily. The pond is deep and dark. It might be dangerous. And Anna might be broken. She might not be the same."
+
+Lily said, "But she's my doll, mom. She's my friend. She belongs with me. I don't care if she's wet or dirty or broken. I still love her."
+
+Her mom looked at Lily and saw how much she cared. She said, "Okay, Lily. Let's try. But we have to be careful. And we have to hurry. It's getting late and gloomy."
+
+They went to the pond and looked for Anna. They saw a stick and a net. They used them to fish for Anna. They searched and searched, but they could not find her. The pond was too big and too murky. They felt sad and hopeless.
+
+But then, they heard a splash. They saw a duck swimming in the pond. The duck had something in its beak. It was Anna! The duck saw Lily and her mom and swam to them. It dropped Anna on the shore and quacked. It looked like it was smiling.
+
+Lily and her mom were surprised and happy. They thanked the duck and picked up Anna. Anna was wet and dirty and broken, but she was still Anna. Lily hugged her and said, "Anna, I'm so glad you're back. You're my doll. You're my friend. You belong with me."
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "Lily, I'm so glad you're here. You're my girl. You're my friend. You belong with me too."
+
+Lily and her mom smiled too. They said, "Thank you, duck. You're very kind. You're our friend too."
+
+The duck quacked and nodded. It said, "You're welcome, Lily, mom and Anna. You're very nice. You're my friends too."
+
+They all hugged and laughed. They felt happy and warm. They forgot about the mean boy, the pond and the gloom. They only remembered their friendship and love. They belonged together.
+Lily liked to play with her small trumpet. She would blow it loud and make funny noises. She liked to pretend she was in a band with her toys. One day, she wanted to show her trumpet to her friend Ben, who lived next door.
+
+She put on her shoes and coat and ran outside with her trumpet. She saw Ben playing with his ball in his yard. She waved and shouted, "Ben, Ben, look at my trumpet!"
+
+Ben looked up and smiled. He liked Lily and her trumpet. He said, "Hi, Lily, can I see your trumpet?"
+
+Lily nodded and ran across the street. But she did not see the ice on the road. She slipped and fell down. Her trumpet flew out of her hand and landed on the sidewalk. Lily felt a big ouch on her knee and started to cry.
+
+Ben saw what happened and ran to help Lily. He picked up her trumpet and gave it back to her. He said, "Are you okay, Lily? I'm sorry you slipped. Here is your trumpet. It's not broken."
+
+Lily took her trumpet and hugged it. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. My knee hurts, but I'm okay. Can we still play?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Of course we can play. Do you want to play ball with me? Or do you want to play band with your trumpet?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "Can we do both? You can kick the ball and I can blow the trumpet. We can make our own music."
+
+Ben liked that idea and said, "Okay, let's do that. That sounds fun."
+
+They went to Ben's yard and played ball and trumpet. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They did not mind the ice or the cold. They were happy to have each other and their toys.
+Tom is a brown dog who likes to run and play. He has a friend, Lily, who is a white cat. Lily likes to nap and watch birds. One day, Tom and Lily go to the park with their owners.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's exercise!" Tom says, wagging his tail. He sees a ball and runs after it.
+
+"No, thank you, Tom. I'm tired. I want to sit here and enjoy the sun," Lily says, curling up on a bench.
+
+Tom chases the ball and brings it back to his owner. He does this many times and has fun. He sees other dogs and plays with them. He barks and jumps and rolls.
+
+Lily watches Tom and shakes her head. She thinks he is silly and noisy. She sees a bird and tries to catch it. But the bird flies away and Lily falls off the bench. She lands on the grass and meows.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asks, running to her. He sees that she is not hurt, just dirty.
+
+"I'm fine, Tom. But I don't like this exercise. It's too hard and messy," Lily says, licking her fur.
+
+"Exercise is good for you, Lily. It makes you strong and happy. And it's fun, too. Don't you like to have fun?" Tom says, nudging her with his nose.
+
+"I like to have fun, Tom. But not like you. I like to have fun in my own way. Like napping and watching birds. And being clean and cozy," Lily says, snuggling up to her owner.
+
+Tom and Lily look at each other and smile. They are different, but they are still friends. They like each other for who they are. They end their day at the park and go home with their owners. They are both happy and tired. They dream of their next adventure.
+Lily loved pandas. She had a big panda toy that she hugged every night. She also had a book with pictures of pandas in the forest. She wanted to see real pandas one day.
+
+One day, her mom took her to the zoo. Lily was very happy. She urged her mom to go to the panda house first. She ran ahead and looked for the black and white bears. She saw one panda sitting on a rock, eating bamboo. She saw another panda lying on a branch, sleeping.
+
+"Mom, look! Pandas!" Lily shouted. She pointed at the pandas with her finger. She wanted to get closer to them.
+
+"Be careful, Lily. Don't touch the fence. The pandas might get scared," her mom said. She held Lily's hand and walked with her along the fence.
+
+Lily saw a sign that said "Do not feed the pandas". She wondered why. She thought pandas would like to eat other things too. She saw a man selling ice cream near the panda house. She asked her mom for some ice cream.
+
+"OK, Lily. You can have some ice cream. But only a little bit. Ice cream is not good for your teeth," her mom said. She bought a cone with vanilla ice cream for Lily and one for herself.
+
+Lily licked her ice cream happily. She looked at the pandas again. She thought they might like some ice cream too. She broke off a piece of her cone and threw it over the fence. She hoped the panda would catch it and eat it.
+
+But the panda did not catch it. The cone landed on the panda's nose. The panda sneezed and shook its head. It licked the cone off its nose and made a face. It did not like the ice cream. It was too cold and sweet. The panda liked bamboo. Bamboo was warm and bitter.
+
+"Yuck! What is this?" the panda said. It spat out the cone and looked around. It saw Lily and her mom. It saw the ice cream in their hands. It was angry. It growled and showed its teeth.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" her mom said. She saw the panda's angry face. She was scared. She grabbed Lily and ran away from the fence. She apologized to the panda and the zookeeper.
+
+Lily was sorry too. She did not mean to make the panda mad. She thought the panda would like the ice cream. She learned that pandas have different tastes than people. She decided to never feed the pandas again. She still loved pandas. But she loved them from a distance.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play by the river. One day, they found a big raft. It was made of wood and had a rope. They wanted to go on the raft and see the fish.
+
+"Can we wear our hats?" Lila asked. "The sun is hot."
+
+"Yes, we can wear our hats," Tom said. "But we also need life jackets. They are dependable. They keep us safe in the water."
+
+They put on their hats and life jackets. They pulled the raft to the edge of the river. They climbed on the raft and held the rope. They were ready to have fun.
+
+"Push us, Dad!" Tom shouted. "We want to go fast!"
+
+Dad smiled and pushed the raft. The raft glided on the water. Lila and Tom laughed and waved. They saw fish and ducks and frogs. They felt the breeze and the spray. They had a great time on the raft. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a large tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a rope on that branch. We can hang from it and swing like monkeys!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, let's try it. But be careful, Lily, the rope is high and the ground is hard." Ben said.
+
+They took turns to hang from the rope and swing back and forth. They laughed and shouted with joy. They felt like they were flying.
+
+But then, the rope broke and Lily fell to the ground. She cried out in pain. Ben ran to her and hugged her.
+
+"Are you OK, Lily? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the rope was bad." Ben said.
+
+Lily stopped crying and smiled at Ben. She was not hurt, only scared.
+
+"It's OK, Ben, I'm OK. You are a good brother. You helped me. We had fun. We had victory." Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and walked back to their mom, who was waiting for them with a picnic basket. They told her about their adventure and ate some sandwiches and cookies. They were happy. They loved each other. They loved the park. They loved the large tree.
+Anna was very worried. She was going to a new school today and she did not know anyone there. She hugged her teddy bear and asked her mom, "What if they do not like me?"
+
+Her mom smiled and kissed her cheek. "You are a very nice and smart girl, Anna. I am sure you will make many friends. Just be yourself and enjoy meeting new people."
+
+Anna nodded, but she still felt scared. She put on her backpack and got in the car with her mom. They drove to the school and parked outside. Anna saw many kids running and playing in the yard. She felt shy and held her mom's hand.
+
+Her mom walked with her to the classroom and introduced her to the teacher, Mrs. Lee. Mrs. Lee was very kind and friendly. She said, "Welcome, Anna. We are happy to have you here. This is your seat and this is your cubby. You can put your backpack and your teddy bear there."
+
+Anna looked at her seat and saw a boy sitting next to it. He had curly hair and a big smile. He said, "Hi, I am Ben. What is your name?"
+
+Anna smiled back and said, "I am Anna. This is my teddy bear. His name is Brownie."
+
+Ben said, "I like your teddy bear. He is very cute. Do you want to play with me and my friends at recess?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun."
+
+Ben said, "Great. Come on, let's go. Mrs. Lee is going to read us a story now."
+
+Anna followed Ben to the rug and sat next to him. She listened to Mrs. Lee's story and looked at the pictures. She felt happy and relaxed. She enjoyed meeting Ben and his friends. She was not worried anymore. She liked her new school.
+Lila was an independent girl. She liked to do things by herself. She did not need help to put on her shoes, or to brush her teeth, or to make her bed. She was proud of being independent.
+
+One day, Lila wanted to go outside and play. She saw the sun shining and the birds singing. She put on her coat and her hat and her gloves. She did not ask her mom or dad if she could go. She was independent.
+
+But when she opened the door, she felt a cold wind. She saw snow on the ground and on the trees. She heard the wind howling and the snow crunching. She did not like the cold. She wanted to go back inside.
+
+She saw a boy across the street. He was making a snowman. He had a big smile on his face. He looked happy. He waved at Lila and said, "Hi! Do you want to help me make a snowman?"
+
+Lila was curious. She wanted to make a snowman too. She wanted to have fun. She wanted to make a friend. She walked across the street and said, "Hi! I'm Lila. I want to help you make a snowman."
+
+The boy said, "I'm Sam. I'm glad you want to help me. Making a snowman is more fun with a friend. Come on, let's roll some snowballs."
+
+Lila and Sam worked together to make a big snowman. They gave him a carrot nose, a scarf, a hat, and buttons. They talked and laughed and played. They forgot about the cold. They had fun.
+
+Lila learned that being independent is good, but sometimes it is also good to ask for help, to share, and to make friends. She was happy. She thanked Sam for letting her help him. She said, "You are a nice boy. Can we play again tomorrow?"
+
+Sam said, "Sure, I would like that. You are a nice girl. Can we talk again tomorrow?"
+
+Lila said, "Yes, we can. I like to talk to you. You make me smile."
+
+They hugged and said goodbye. They went back to their homes. They looked forward to playing and talking again. They were friends.
+Anna liked to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the ducks and the geese that lived in the pond. She liked to feed them bread and watch them swim and quack.
+
+One day, she saw a big goose that was stuck in a net. The net was on the grass near the pond. The goose was sad and scared. It tried to get out of the net, but it could not.
+
+Anna wanted to help the goose. She ran to the net and tried to lift it. But the net was too heavy for her. She could not lift it. She said to the goose, "Don't worry, goose. I will get help."
+
+She looked around and saw a man who worked in the park. He had a hat and a shovel. He was useful. She ran to him and said, "Please, please, help me. There is a goose in a net. It is sad and scared. Can you lift the net?"
+
+The man nodded and followed Anna to the net. He used his shovel to lift the net and free the goose. The goose was happy and grateful. It flapped its wings and honked. It gave Anna a gentle peck on the cheek. Anna smiled and said, "You're welcome, goose. I'm glad you're okay."
+
+Anna and the man watched the goose join its friends in the pond. They waved goodbye to the goose and each other. Anna went back to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "You are a kind and brave girl, Anna. You did a good thing today." Anna felt proud and happy. She liked to help animals. She liked to go to the park.
+Anna was a princess who lived in a huge palace. She had many toys and dresses, but she was not happy. She wanted to have a friend to play with and talk to.
+
+One day, she saw a bird on her window. It was red and yellow and had a long tail. Anna opened the window and said, "Hello, bird. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The bird blinked its eyes and nodded. It flew into the room and landed on Anna's shoulder. It said, "Hello, princess. I am Lila. I want to be your friend too."
+
+Anna smiled and hugged the bird. She said, "You are so pretty and nice, Lila. Will you stay with me in the palace?"
+
+Lila said, "Yes, I will stay with you, Anna. But can we also go outside and see the garden and the sky?"
+
+Anna said, "Of course, we can. Let's go now. I want to show you my favorite flowers and trees."
+
+Anna and Lila went outside and had fun. They ran and jumped and sang and laughed. They became the best friends in the world. Anna was happy and so was Lila. They never felt lonely again.
+Anna liked to play with her toy dragon. It was green and soft and had a long tail. She named it Bow, because it could bend its neck and make a bow. She liked to pretend that Bow was a real dragon and they went on adventures together.
+
+One day, Anna and Bow found a shiny thing in the garden. It was round and flat and had numbers on it. Anna did not know what it was, but she thought it looked like a treasure. She picked it up and showed it to Bow.
+
+"Look, Bow, we found a treasure! Maybe it is magic!" she said.
+
+Bow sniffed the shiny thing and shook his head. He did not think it was a treasure or magic. He thought it was a scale. He had seen one before at the doctor's office. He tried to tell Anna, but she did not understand.
+
+"No, Bow, it is not a scale. It is a treasure. See, it has numbers. Maybe it can tell us secrets!" she said.
+
+She put the shiny thing on the ground and stepped on it. The numbers changed. She was amazed.
+
+"Wow, Bow, look! The numbers changed! It is magic! Maybe it can tell us how much we weigh!" she said.
+
+She stepped off the shiny thing and invited Bow to step on it. Bow did not want to. He did not like the shiny thing. He thought it was boring and noisy. He wanted to play with something else. He shook his head and backed away.
+
+"Come on, Bow, don't be scared. It is fun. Please, step on the shiny thing. I want to see how much you weigh!" she said.
+
+She was persistent. She kept asking Bow to step on the shiny thing. She pulled his tail and pushed his head. She did not listen to Bow. She did not see that he was unhappy.
+
+Bow did not like that. He did not like to be pulled and pushed. He did not like to be ignored. He felt sad and angry. He growled and snapped at Anna.
+
+"Ow, Bow, that hurt! Why did you bite me?" she said.
+
+She was surprised and hurt. She did not understand why Bow was angry. She did not see that she was wrong.
+
+Bow did not want to hurt Anna. He loved Anna. He was his best friend. But he wanted Anna to respect him. He wanted Anna to listen to him. He wanted Anna to play with him.
+
+He bowed his head and licked her hand. He was sorry. He wanted to make up.
+
+"I'm sorry, Bow. I was wrong. I did not listen to you. I did not respect you. I did not play with you. I was selfish. Can you forgive me?" she said.
+
+She bowed her head and hugged him. She was sorry. She wanted to make up.
+
+Bow wagged his tail and nuzzled her face. He forgave her. He loved her. He was his best friend.
+
+They smiled and kissed. They were happy. They forgot about the shiny thing. They did not need it. They had each other. They were a treasure. They were magic.
+Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They are very happy and healthy.
+
+One day, they see a big statue in the park. It is a man on a horse. He has a hat and a sword. He looks very strong and brave.
+
+"Who is he?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he is a king or a hero," Tom says.
+
+They go closer to the statue. They want to touch it. But there is a sign that says: Do not touch.
+
+"Why not?" Lily wonders.
+
+"Maybe he will get angry and move," Tom says.
+
+They are scared. They do not want to make the statue angry. They decide to play a game. They pretend to be statues too. They stand very still and do not talk. They make funny faces and poses.
+
+They have fun. They make each other laugh. They forget about the sign and the statue.
+
+But then, they hear a voice.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" It is a man. He is a guard. He works in the park. He sees them near the statue.
+
+They are surprised. They stop playing. They look at the man.
+
+"We are sorry. We were just playing," Lily says.
+
+"We did not touch the statue. We promise," Tom says.
+
+The man smiles. He is not angry. He is friendly.
+
+"It's okay. I know you were just playing. But you have to be careful. The statue is very old and fragile. It can break easily. And it is very important. It is a famous person. He was a general. He fought for our country. He was a hero," the man says.
+
+"Wow, really?" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, really. His name is George Washington. Do you know who he is?" the man says.
+
+They shake their heads. They do not know.
+
+"He was the first president of our country. He helped us to be free and independent. He was a great leader and a good man. He is on our money too. Look," the man says. He shows them a dollar bill.
+
+They look. They see the face of the statue on the money. They are amazed.
+
+"Wow, he is very famous," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, he is. And he is very respected. That's why we have this statue. To remember him and honor him. And that's why we have to protect it and not touch it. Do you understand?" the man says.
+
+They nod. They understand.
+
+"Okay, then. You can stay and look at the statue. But please, do not touch. And do not climb. And do not make noise. Be respectful. Can you do that?" the man says.
+
+They nod again. They can do that.
+
+"Good. Thank you. And have fun. But be careful. And if you have any questions, you can ask me. I am here to help. My name is Bob," the man says.
+
+He walks away. He goes back to his post.
+
+Tom and Lily look at the statue. They look at the money. They look at each other.
+
+They are curious. They want to learn more. They have many questions.
+
+They go to Bob. They ask him. He tells them. He teaches them.
+
+They listen. They learn. They are happy.
+
+They like the statue. They like the park. They like Bob.
+
+They are very happy and healthy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But the sky was getting dark and the wind was getting strong. They heard a loud boom and saw a bright flash. It was a storm!
+
+"Let's go home!" Lily said. She was scared of the storm. She grabbed Tom's hand and they ran to the gate. But the gate was locked. They could not get out.
+
+"Help!" Tom shouted. He banged on the gate. But no one came. The rain started to fall and the thunder roared. They were wet and cold and sad.
+
+They looked around and saw a big tree. It had many leaves and branches. Maybe they could find some shelter under the tree. They ran to the tree and crawled under it. It was a little dry and warm under the tree. They hugged each other and tried to be brave.
+
+But then they heard a terrible noise. It was a crack and a snap. One of the branches of the tree was breaking. It was falling down on them. They screamed and stumbled out of the way. The branch crashed to the ground and missed them by a hair.
+
+They were very lucky. They were not hurt. But they were very scared. They wished they were home with their mom and dad. They cried and cried.
+
+Then they saw a light. It was a flashlight. It was their dad. He had come to find them. He had a key to the gate. He opened the gate and ran to them. He picked them up and hugged them.
+
+"Are you okay?" he asked. He looked at them with love and worry.
+
+"We're okay, dad," Lily said. "But we were so scared. There was a storm and a locked gate and a falling branch. It was terrible."
+
+"I know, sweetie. I'm sorry. I'm here now. Let's go home," he said. He carried them to the car and drove them home. He gave them hot chocolate and cookies and tucked them in bed. He kissed them and said good night.
+
+Lily and Tom felt safe and happy. They were glad their dad came to save them. They were glad they had each other. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. The storm was over.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big clock that their dad gave them. The clock was old and shiny, and it made a loud tick-tock sound. Tom and Lily liked to pretend that the clock was a magic machine that could take them to different places.
+
+One day, they decided to go to the jungle with the clock. Tom put on a hat and a coat, and Lily wore a dress and a scarf. They took the clock and carried it to the corner of the room. They put the clock on the floor and sat next to it.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, Tom. Let's go to the jungle!" Lily said.
+
+They closed their eyes and imagined that they were in the jungle. They heard the birds and the monkeys, and felt the warm air and the green leaves. They smiled and laughed.
+
+But they did not know that their cat, Max, was watching them. Max was a nosy cat who liked to poke his nose into everything. He saw the clock and wondered what it was. He walked over to the clock and sniffed it. He did not like the tick-tock sound. He tried to paw the clock, but it was too heavy. He pushed the clock with his head, but it did not move. He got angry and scratched the clock with his claws.
+
+The clock made a loud clang and stopped ticking. Tom and Lily opened their eyes and saw Max. They were not happy.
+
+"Max, you bad cat! You broke our clock!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Go away, Max! You ruined our jungle trip!" Lily cried.
+
+Max ran away, feeling sorry and scared. Tom and Lily hugged their clock and hoped that their dad could fix it. They still loved their clock, even if it was not magic.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Sometimes they crashed their cars and pretended they were broken.
+
+One day, their aunt came to visit them. She was very nice and brought them a big gift. It was a remote control car. It was red and shiny and had four big wheels. Tom and Lily were very happy and thanked their aunt.
+
+"Can we play with it now?" Tom asked.
+
+"Of course, but be careful. It is not like your other cars. It can go forward and backward. You have to use this button to make it reverse," their aunt said, showing them the remote.
+
+Tom and Lily took turns to drive the car. They made it go forward and backward, left and right. They had a lot of fun. But then, Tom made a mistake. He pressed the reverse button too hard and the car went backward very fast. It hit the wall and broke.
+
+"Oh no! The car is broken!" Tom cried.
+
+"I'm sorry, aunt. I didn't mean to break it," Lily said.
+
+Their aunt hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my dears. It's not your fault. It was an accident. Maybe we can fix it later. For now, why don't we play with your other cars? They are still good and fun."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They put the broken car aside and took out their other cars. They played with their aunt and forgot about the accident. They were happy. Their aunt was very nice.
+Lily liked to record stories with her toy phone. She had many stories in her head, about princesses, dragons, fairies, and animals. She would talk into her phone and pretend someone was listening.
+
+One day, she wanted to record a story with her best friend, Ben. Ben was dependable. He always played with her and shared his toys. Lily asked him, "Do you want to record a story with me?"
+
+Ben nodded. He liked stories too. He took his toy phone and said, "What story do you want to record?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "How about a story about a brave knight and a friendly dragon?"
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "That sounds fun. You can be the knight and I can be the dragon."
+
+Lily agreed. She said, "Okay, let's start. Hello, this is Lily and Ben, and we are going to record a story about a brave knight and a friendly dragon. Once upon a time, there was a knight who lived in a castle. She wanted to go on an adventure, so she rode her horse to the forest. There, she met a dragon who was very big and green, but also very nice. The dragon said, 'Hello, knight. I am not a bad dragon. I am a good dragon. Do you want to be my friend?'"
+
+Ben said, "The knight was surprised, but also curious. She said, 'Hello, dragon. I am not a scared knight. I am a brave knight. Yes, I want to be your friend. What is your name?'"
+
+Lily and Ben continued to record their story, making up more details and events. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They were happy to have each other as friends and as storytellers. The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms and bugs. Anna had a big shovel and Ben had a small one. They dug and dug until they found something white and round.
+
+"Look, Ben, what is this?" Anna asked, holding up the white thing.
+
+"It is a cauliflower, Anna. Mommy puts it in soup sometimes. It is good to eat," Ben said.
+
+"Can we eat it now?" Anna wondered.
+
+"No, Anna, we have to wash it first. It is dirty from the ground. And we have to ask Mommy if we can have it," Ben explained.
+
+But Anna was careless. She did not listen to Ben. She wanted to eat the cauliflower right away. She took a big bite and made a face.
+
+"Yuck, Ben, this is not good. It is bitter and hard. I don't like it," Anna said, spitting out the cauliflower.
+
+"Anna, you are silly. You should not eat things from the ground. They can make you sick. And you wasted the cauliflower. Mommy will be mad," Ben scolded.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I was hungry. What can we do?" Anna asked.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's bury the cauliflower. Maybe it will grow into a new plant. Then Mommy will not know we ate it," Ben suggested.
+
+"Okay, Ben. That sounds good. Let's bury the cauliflower," Anna agreed.
+
+They dug a hole and put the cauliflower in it. They covered it with dirt and patted it down. They hoped it would grow into a new plant.
+
+"Bye, bye, cauliflower. See you soon," they said.
+
+They ran back to the house to wash their hands and faces. They did not tell Mommy about the cauliflower. They hoped she would not notice. They were happy to play in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms and bugs.
+Tom and Sue wanted to be famous. They liked to watch TV and see famous people who sang, danced, and acted. They wanted to do the same things and have many fans.
+
+One day, they found a ladder in the backyard. It was old and brown and had holes in it. It looked like it was going to rot soon. But Tom and Sue did not care. They thought they could use the ladder to climb to the roof and perform for everyone.
+
+They took the ladder and leaned it against the wall. Tom went first. He put his foot on the first rung and tried to go up. But the rung broke and Tom fell down. He hurt his knee and cried.
+
+"Are you okay?" Sue asked.
+
+"No, I'm not okay!" Tom said. "The ladder is bad. It made me fall. It ruined our show."
+
+Sue felt sorry for Tom. She also felt sad that they could not be famous. She hugged Tom and said, "It's okay. We don't need the ladder to be famous. We can be famous in other ways. We can sing, dance, and act in our room. We can make our own TV with our toys. We can have fun and pretend. And we can be famous for each other."
+
+Tom smiled and wiped his tears. He liked Sue's idea. He said, "You're right. We can be famous in our room. And we can be famous for each other. That's better than the ladder. The ladder is bad. It can rot."
+
+They threw the ladder away and went to their room. They sang, danced, and acted with their toys. They had fun and pretended. And they were famous for each other.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with boats in the pond. They made boats from paper and sticks and leaves. They gave their boats names and pretended they were sailors.
+
+One day, they had a race. They wanted to see whose boat was faster. They put their boats in the water and blew on them. The boats started to sail. Tim's boat was blue and Sam's boat was red.
+
+"Go, go, go!" Tim cheered for his boat. "You can do it, Bluey!"
+
+"Come on, come on, come on!" Sam shouted for his boat. "You are the best, Reddy!"
+
+The boats sailed across the pond. They were very close. Tim and Sam ran along the edge of the pond. They wanted to reach the goal first. The goal was a big rock on the other side.
+
+"Who will win, who will win?" Tim and Sam wondered.
+
+The boats reached the rock at the same time. They bumped into each other. Tim and Sam looked at each other. They smiled.
+
+"It's a tie, it's a tie!" they said together. "We both won!"
+
+They hugged each other. They were happy. They picked up their boats and hugged them too. They were proud of their boats.
+
+They decided to celebrate. They went to Tim's house. Tim's mom had made cookies for them. They were yummy. They ate the cookies and drank milk. They talked about their race and their boats.
+
+They agreed that sailing was fun. They also agreed that being friends was even more fun. They thanked Tim's mom for the cookies. They said goodbye to each other. They promised to play again soon. They went home with their boats. They were happy.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big sack on the grass. It was brown and dirty and had something inside.
+
+"What is in the sack?" Sam asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's look," Mia said.
+
+They ran to the sack and opened it. They saw many pins. The pins were shiny and sharp. They had different colors and shapes.
+
+"Wow, look at the pins!" Sam said. "They are pretty. Can we take some?"
+
+Mia was nervous. She did not like the pins. They looked scary. She thought they could hurt them.
+
+"No, Sam, we can't take the pins. They are not ours. They are bad. They can poke us and make us bleed. Let's go away," Mia said.
+
+But Sam did not listen. He liked the pins. He wanted to have some. He reached his hand into the sack and grabbed some pins.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cried. He dropped the pins and pulled his hand out. His hand had many red spots. The pins had poked him and made him bleed.
+
+Mia ran to Sam and hugged him. She was sorry for him. She was also scared. She saw a man coming to the sack. The man was angry and loud. He had a big hat and a big beard. He looked like the owner of the sack and the pins.
+
+"Hey, you kids, what are you doing with my sack and my pins? Get away from there! You are thieves and troublemakers! I will call the police!" the man shouted.
+
+Sam and Mia were very afraid. They did not want to talk to the man. They did not want to go to the police. They wanted to go home. They ran away from the sack and the pins and the man. They ran to their mom and dad. They told them what happened. Their mom and dad were worried and angry. They cleaned Sam's hand and put a bandage on it. They scolded Sam and Mia for touching the sack and the pins. They said they should never do that again. They said they should always be careful and respectful.
+
+Sam and Mia felt bad. They said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played with the sack and the pins again. They played with other things that were safe and fun. They were happy and good.
+Ben did not like school. School was gloomy and hard. He had to sit still and listen to the teacher. He had to do work and share toys. He missed his mom and dad.
+
+One day, Ben had to go to the bathroom. He raised his hand and asked the teacher. The teacher said yes and gave him a pass. Ben took the pass and ran to the bathroom. He was in a hurry.
+
+But Ben made a mistake. He went to the wrong bathroom. He did not see the sign that said girls. He opened the door and saw girls inside. The girls screamed and laughed. Ben was very embarrassed. He dropped the pass and ran away.
+
+He ran back to his class. He was crying and red. The teacher saw him and asked what happened. Ben told her he went to the wrong bathroom. The teacher was sorry and hugged him. She said it was okay and everyone makes mistakes. She said he was brave and smart.

+Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed the ducks some bread. Sam wanted to splash the water with a stick.
+
+"Can I have some bread, please?" Sam asked Lily.
+
+"No, this is for the ducks. They are hungry. You can find your own bread," Lily said.
+
+Sam was sad. He did not have any bread. He looked around and saw a lady sitting on a bench. She had a big hat and a shiny necklace. She looked like a queen.
+
+"Excuse me, can I have some bread, please?" Sam asked the lady.
+
+The lady smiled and nodded. She gave Sam a big slice of bread. She was very generous.

+One day, a little pig named Pinky was playing in the mud. He liked to roll and splash and make bubbles with his nose. He did not care if he was dirty. He thought mud was fun.
+
+But his mother did not like mud. She wanted Pinky to be clean and neat. She warned him that the farmer would not like a dirty pig. She said the farmer might take him away and sell him to someone else. She said he should wash and brush and look nice.

+
+"I'm sorry, too, Lily," Mom said. "I should have watched you more closely. I'm not mad at you. I love you. But you have to be careful in the kitchen. The stove is not a toy. It can burn you. Next time, you can ask me what I'm cooking and I'll show you. OK?"

+
+Ben was angry. He was also embarrassed. He had a red mark on his nose. He felt tears in his eyes. He didn't want to cry. He pushed Lily away. He said mean words. "Go away, Lily. You're a bad friend. You're not fun. You're stupid."

+
+Lily said, "No, mom. I want to play more. Please, let me play."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, you have played enough. You have to care for your computer. If you leave it on, it will get hot and tired. And if you don't put it away, it might get lost or broken. Do you want that?"
+
+Lily said, "No, mom. I don't want that. I love my computer. It is my friend."
+
+Mom said, "That's good, Lily. I'm glad you love your computer. But you have to show it by caring for it. Turn it off and put it in your bag. Then we can go to the store and buy some ice cream. How does that sound?"

+
+Sara and Tom learned that it's fun to be adventurous and to invite new friends to play. They also learned that puddles are great for jumping in.
+Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom is a lion and Mia is a bird.
+
+"Roar!" Tom says, jumping on the couch. "I am the king of the jungle!"
+
+"Tweet!" Mia says, flying around the room. "I am the queen of the sky!"
+
+They laugh and play until Tom feels something in his tummy. He needs to go to the bathroom. He stops playing and looks at Mia.
+
+"Mia, I need to go to the bathroom. Can you come with me?" he requests.
+
+Mia nods and puts down her toy. She likes to help Tom. They hold hands and walk to the bathroom. They open the door and see something bad.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Tom says, pointing at the toilet. "Someone made a big mess!"
+
+The toilet is full of water and paper and it smells bad. They do not want to use it. They close the door and run back to the living room.
+
+"Mommy! Mommy!" they call. "The bathroom is bad! We need to use another one!"
+
+Mommy hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees their faces and knows something is wrong.
+
+"What happened, sweeties?" she asks.
+
+"The bathroom is bad, Mommy!" Tom says. "Someone made a big mess!"
+
+Mommy looks surprised and goes to check the bathroom. She sees the mess and sighs.
+
+"Oh, no! It looks like Daddy forgot to flush the toilet again!" she says. "I'm sorry, kids. Let me fix it for you."
+
+She takes a plunger and tries to unclog the toilet. She tells Tom and Mia to wait in the living room. They go back to their toys and wait for Mommy.
+
+"Next time, we will use the other bathroom," Mia says.
+
+"Yes, the other bathroom is good," Tom says.
+
+They hug each other and continue to play. They hope Mommy will fix the bathroom soon. They are happy to have each other.
+Tom and Lily were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box that was their ship, and a map that showed them where to find treasure. They wore hats and eye patches and said "Arrr!" a lot.
+
+"Look, the map says the treasure is under the big tree!" Tom said, pointing to a drawing of a tree with an X under it. "Let's go dig it up!"
+
+"Okay, but we have to be careful. There might be other pirates or monsters who want our treasure!" Lily said, holding a plastic sword.
+
+They ran to the big tree and started to dig with their hands. They found some rocks, some worms, and some leaves, but no treasure.
+
+"Maybe the map is wrong," Tom said, feeling sad.
+
+"Or maybe the treasure is very flexible and can hide in the ground," Lily said, trying to cheer him up.
+
+Just then, they heard a bark. It was Spot, their dog, who had followed them to the garden. He ran to them and wagged his tail.
+
+"Hi, Spot! Do you want to join us?" Tom asked, petting him.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Spot barked, licking their faces.
+
+"Maybe Spot can help us find the treasure. He has a good nose," Lily said, smiling.
+
+"Good idea! Come on, Spot, show us where the treasure is!" Tom said, holding the map.
+
+Spot sniffed the map, then the ground, then ran to a different tree. He dug with his paws and barked excitedly.
+
+"Look, he found something!" Lily said, running after him.
+
+Tom and Lily joined Spot and helped him dig. They saw something shiny in the hole. It was a metal box with a lock.
+
+"Wow, it's a real treasure chest!" Tom said, amazed.
+
+"Let's open it and see what's inside!" Lily said, curious.
+
+They tried to open the lock, but it was too hard. They needed a key.
+
+"Maybe the key is on the map," Tom said, looking at it.
+
+"Or maybe Spot has it," Lily said, looking at him.
+
+Spot wagged his tail and dropped something from his mouth. It was a key!
+
+"Good boy, Spot! You're the best pirate ever!" Tom and Lily said, hugging him.
+
+They used the key to open the chest. Inside, they found some coins, some jewels, and some toys.
+
+"Wow, this is the best treasure ever!" Tom and Lily said, happy.
+
+They shared the treasure with Spot and played with it in the garden. They had a lot of fun and felt very lucky. They decided that Spot was their new pirate friend and gave him a hat and an eye patch. They said "Arrr!" a lot and had more adventures.
+Lily and Ben were playing soccer in the park. They wanted to win the trophy that their coach had. The trophy was shiny and big and had a star on top. Lily and Ben liked stars.
+
+They played hard and scored many goals. They ran and kicked and cheered. The other team was not happy. They were angry and mean. They called Lily and Ben bad names. They said they were ignorant and stupid and could not play soccer.
+
+Lily and Ben did not listen to them. They knew they were not ignorant. They knew many things. They knew their colors and shapes and numbers. They knew how to share and say sorry and thank you. They knew how to play soccer fair and fun.
+
+The game was almost over. Lily and Ben had one more chance to score. Lily passed the ball to Ben. Ben saw an opening and shot the ball. The ball flew past the goalie and into the net. Lily and Ben had won the game!
+
+They hugged and jumped and shouted. Their coach came over and gave them the trophy. He said they did a great job and he was proud of them. He said they were smart and kind and good soccer players.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and nodded. They held the trophy and showed it to everyone. They were happy and proud. They did not care what the other team said. They knew they were not ignorant. They knew they were stars.
+Anna and Ben love to play with bubbles. They have a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand that makes many bubbles at once. They go to the park and blow bubbles in the air. They laugh and chase the bubbles and try to pop them.
+
+But Tom, who is older and mean, does not like bubbles. He thinks they are silly and childish. He sees Anna and Ben having fun and he gets angry. He wants to destroy their bubbles and make them cry. He runs to them and grabs their bottle of bubble soap.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Anna shouts. "That's ours!"
+
+"No, it's mine now!" Tom says. "And I'm going to dump it on the ground and ruin it!"
+
+He opens the bottle and pours the bubble soap on the grass. Anna and Ben watch in horror as their expensive bubble soap is wasted. They start to cry and hug each other.
+
+Tom laughs and says, "Ha ha, no more bubbles for you! Bubbles are stupid and so are you!"
+
+But then, he hears a loud voice behind him.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing?" It is his mother, who saw everything from a bench. She is very angry and disappointed. "How dare you destroy their bubbles and make them cry? That was very rude and mean! And that bubble soap was expensive! You owe them an apology and a new bottle!"
+
+Tom feels scared and ashamed. He knows he did a bad thing. He looks at Anna and Ben, who are still crying and sniffling. He says in a small voice, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have destroyed your bubbles. Please forgive me."
+
+Anna and Ben look at him. They are still sad, but they are also kind. They say, "It's okay. We forgive you. But please don't do it again. Bubbles are fun and nice. You can play with us if you want."
+
+Tom nods and says, "Thank you. I'm sorry. Can I play with you?"
+
+Anna and Ben smile and say, "Sure. Come on, let's go get another bottle of bubble soap. Maybe we can share it and make more bubbles together."
+
+They all go to the store and buy a new bottle of bubble soap. They go back to the park and blow bubbles in the air. They laugh and chase the bubbles and try to pop them. They are happy and friendly. They learn to share and play nicely. They enjoy the bubbles and each other.
+Lily and Max were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. But they did not like to eat shrimp. Shrimp were small and pink and had tails. They looked boring and smelled funny.
+
+"Please, mom, can we have something else for lunch?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, we only have shrimp today. They are good for you and tasty. You should try them," mom said.
+
+"But mom, we don't like shrimp. They are boring and yucky. Can we have pizza or ice cream instead?" Max said.
+
+"Sorry, honey, we don't have pizza or ice cream here. We have to eat what we have. Maybe you can have a treat later if you eat your shrimp," dad said.
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They did not want to eat their shrimp, but they also wanted a treat. They decided to make a deal.
+
+"Okay, mom and dad, we will eat our shrimp, but only if you play with us after lunch. We want to build a big sandcastle and find some shells and chase some crabs. Will you please play with us?" they said.
+
+Mom and dad smiled. They were happy that Lily and Max agreed to eat their shrimp. They also liked to play at the beach.
+
+"Sure, we will play with you after lunch. That sounds like fun. But first, you have to eat your shrimp. Come on, they are not that bad. Look, we will show you how to peel them and dip them in sauce. Mmm, they are delicious. Try one, you might like it," they said.
+
+Lily and Max took a shrimp each. They peeled them and dipped them in sauce. They put them in their mouths and chewed. They were surprised. The shrimp were not boring and yucky. They were juicy and sweet. They liked them.
+
+"Wow, these shrimp are good. Can we have more, please?" they said.
+
+Mom and dad laughed. They were glad that Lily and Max liked their shrimp. They gave them more and ate some too. They all enjoyed their lunch.
+
+"See, shrimp are not so bad. You just have to try new things sometimes. You never know what you might like," mom said.
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They learned something new. They ate all their shrimp and asked for more. They were full and happy.
+
+"Can we play now, please?" they said.
+
+"Of course, we can play now. Let's go and have some fun at the beach. We love you, Lily and Max," dad said.
+
+They hugged and kissed their mom and dad. They ran to the sand and the water. They played and laughed and had a great time. They were not bored at all. They had a wonderful day at the beach.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the office. She saw many papers and pens and things on the desk. She wanted to make them neat and tidy. She picked up a big pile of papers and tried to put them in a box. The box was called a file. It had a label with letters on it.
+
+But the pile of papers was too big for the file. It did not fit. Some papers fell on the floor. Lily felt sad. She did not want to make a mess. She looked for another file that was bigger. She saw one on a shelf. It was enormous. It was bigger than her head. She wanted to get it down.
+
+She climbed on a chair and reached for the file. But it was too heavy. It slipped from her hands and landed on the desk. It made a loud noise. Papers and pens and things flew everywhere. Lily was scared. She cried.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and came to the office. She saw Lily crying and the mess on the desk. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. You were trying to help, but you made a mistake. It's not your fault. You don't have to worry."
+
+She helped Lily clean up the mess. She put the papers back in the files and the pens back in the cups. She showed Lily how to read the labels and match them with the papers. She said, "This is how we organize the files. We use the letters to find the right ones. Can you help me with this one?"
+
+Lily nodded. She looked at the label and said, "This one says A. It goes with the papers that have A on them." She found the papers that had A on them and put them in the file. She felt happy. She managed to help her mom. She said, "I did it, mom. I helped you with the file."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You did, Lily. You did a great job. Thank you for helping me. You are a good helper. I love you." She gave Lily a kiss and a sticker. Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. You are the best."
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. They also liked to have tea parties under the big tree.
+
+One day, they brought their favorite cups and saucers, and a pot of water. They pretended it was tea. They poured the water into the cups and added some leaves and flowers. They stirred with spoons and sipped with smiles.
+
+"Would you like some more tea, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, please, Lily. You make the best tea ever," Ben said.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a charming guest," Lily said.
+
+They clinked their cups and giggled. They felt happy and cozy under the tree. They swung their legs and sang a song. They had a lot of fun. They were best friends.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the big yard. They had a lot of fun with the leaves that fell from the trees. They liked to collect the leaves and make piles of them. Then they would jump into the piles and laugh.
+
+One day, they saw a rake leaning on the fence. They decided to use it to collect more leaves. Tom took the rake and dragged it across the grass. He made a big pile of leaves near the fence. Lily helped him by picking up the leaves that the rake missed.
+
+"Look, Tom, we have a huge pile of leaves!" Lily said. "Let's jump into it!"
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. The fence is sharp and the road is distant. We don't want to get hurt or lost," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the pile of leaves and jumped into it. They felt the leaves crunch and tickle under them. They giggled and rolled in the leaves. They had a lot of fun with the rake and the leaves. They did not see the car that was coming on the distant road.
+Sara was a very intelligent girl. She knew many things and liked to read books. She also knew when she needed to go to the bathroom. She did not like to wet her pants or her bed.
+
+One day, she was playing with her dolls in her room. She felt an urge in her tummy. She knew it meant she had to go to the bathroom. But she did not want to stop playing. She thought she could wait a little longer.
+
+She kept playing with her dolls. She made them talk and sing and dance. She had fun. But the urge in her tummy got stronger and stronger. She started to squirm and wiggle. She felt a drop of pee in her pants. She got scared.
+
+She ran to the door and opened it. She saw her mom in the kitchen. She yelled, "Mom, mom, I need to go to the bathroom!"
+
+Her mom heard her and looked at her. She saw the wet spot on her pants. She said, "Oh, Sara, you should have gone earlier. Why did you wait so long?"
+
+Sara felt ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was playing and I forgot. I thought I could hold it."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Sara. I know you are a very intelligent girl. But you also need to listen to your body. When you feel the urge, you should go to the bathroom right away. That way, you won't have accidents and you will feel better."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "I understand, mom. Thank you for being nice to me. Can you help me change my pants?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Sara. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and get you cleaned up. Then you can go back to playing with your dolls."
+
+Sara felt relieved and happy. She learned a lesson and she still had time to play. She loved her mom and her dolls. She was a very intelligent girl.
+Sara and Lily liked to play with their mom's makeup. They thought it was fun to put on lipstick, eyeshadow and blush. They wanted to look nice like their mom.
+
+One day, they found a big bag of makeup in their mom's closet. They were very happy and took it to their room. They opened the bag and saw many colors and brushes. They started to try them on their faces.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have red lips like mom!" Sara said. She smiled and showed her teeth.
+
+"You look nice, Sara. Can I have some too?" Lily asked. She reached for the lipstick.
+
+But Sara did not want to share. She pulled the lipstick away from Lily. "No, it's mine! You can have another one!" She said.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She wanted the red lipstick too. She pulled the lipstick back from Sara. "No, it's mine! You are mean!" She said.
+
+They both pulled and pulled. The lipstick broke and fell on the floor. It made a big stain on the carpet. They both stopped and looked at the mess. They were scared.
+
+"Oh no, mom will be mad!" Sara said.
+
+"What do we do?" Lily asked.
+
+They heard their mom coming upstairs. They quickly hid the bag of makeup under the bed. They hoped their mom would not see their faces or the stain. They pretended to read a book. They were not happy. They wished they had shared.
+Tom and Mia were eager to make a picture for their mom. They had paper, crayons, scissors and glue. They cut out shapes and colors and glued them on the paper. They made a house, a sun, a tree and a cat.
+
+"Look, Mia, our picture is almost done!" Tom said. "We just need to glue the cat's tail."
+
+"OK, Tom, I have the glue. Can you hold the tail?" Mia said. She squeezed the glue bottle and put some glue on the end of the tail.
+
+Tom held the tail and tried to stick it on the cat. But the glue was too wet and slippery. The tail slid off the cat and landed on Tom's nose.
+
+"Uh-oh, Tom, the tail is on your nose!" Mia said. She laughed and pointed at Tom.
+
+Tom felt the tail on his nose and tried to pull it off. But the glue was too sticky and strong. The tail stayed on his nose.
+
+"Ow, Mia, the tail hurts my nose!" Tom said. He cried and rubbed his nose.
+
+Mia stopped laughing and felt sorry for Tom. She got a wet cloth and wiped Tom's nose. She gently peeled off the tail and threw it in the trash.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you OK?" Mia said. She hugged Tom and kissed his nose.
+
+Tom sniffed and smiled. He hugged Mia back and said, "It's OK, Mia, I'm OK. Thank you for helping me."
+
+They looked at their picture and saw that the cat had no tail. They decided to draw a new tail with a crayon. They finished their picture and wrote "We love you, Mom" on it.
+
+They ran to their mom and gave her the picture. Their mom was very happy and proud. She hugged them and said, "What a beautiful picture! You are very creative and sweet. I love you, too."
+
+Tom and Mia smiled and relaxed. They were happy to make their mom happy. They forgot about the glue and the tail. They played with their mom and the cat. The cat had a real tail and it was fluffy and soft.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, it is very hot. They feel sweat on their faces. They want to cool down.
+
+They see a fountain. It has water that goes up and down. They run to the fountain. They put their hands in the water. It feels cool and nice. They splash each other and laugh.
+
+"Look, Mia!" Tom says. He makes a mouth with his hand. He puts it near the water. He blows. The water makes a sound. It sounds like a whistle. "I can make music with the water!"
+
+"Wow, Tom! That is fun!" Mia says. She makes a mouth with her hand too. She blows. The water makes a sound. It sounds like a whistle. "I can make music with the water too!"
+
+They take turns to make music with the water. They make different sounds. They make high sounds and low sounds. They make long sounds and short sounds. They have fun. They forget about the heat. They feel cool and happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys and books, but they are bored. They want to do something new and fun.
+
+They see a big closet in the corner. It has a door with a knob. Lily says, "Let's go inside and see what is there." Ben nods and follows her. They open the door and walk into the closet.
+
+Inside, they find many clothes and shoes and bags. They also find some hangers. They are shiny and metal and have hooks. Lily picks up a hanger and says, "Look, Ben, this is a funny toy. You can bend it and twist it and make shapes." Ben takes another hanger and says, "Yes, and you can also use it as a sword or a wand or a snake."
+
+They start to play with the hangers, making noises and pretending to be pirates and wizards and animals. They have a lot of fun and forget about the time.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud growl. They stop and look at each other. They feel their tummies. They are hungry. They have not eaten anything since breakfast. They say, "We want to eat!"
+
+They drop the hangers and run to the door. But the door is closed. They try to open it, but they cannot. It is locked. They push and pull and bang, but nothing happens. They start to cry and shout, "Help! Help! We are stuck in the closet! We want to eat!"
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the room. She sees the closet door and hears the noise. She says, "What is going on? Who is in there?" She turns the knob and opens the door.
+
+She sees Lily and Ben, holding hangers and looking scared and sad. She says, "Oh, my, what have you done? How did you get in there? Are you okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben run to her and hug her. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We were playing with the hangers and we forgot to leave the door open. We got locked in and we are hungry. We want to eat!"
+
+Mom says, "It's okay, sweeties. I'm glad you are safe. But you should not play with the hangers. They are not toys. They can hurt you or your clothes. And you should always leave the door open when you go into the closet. It is dark and small and not a good place to play."
+
+She takes them to the kitchen and gives them some sandwiches and milk. They eat and drink and feel better. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We will not play with the hangers or go into the closet again."
+
+Mom says, "You're welcome, my loves. I love you too. Now, let's go and put the hangers back where they belong."
+Anna and Ben are playing in the backyard. They have a toy grill and some plastic food. They pretend to cook burgers and hot dogs for their friends.
+
+"Who wants a burger?" Anna asks.
+
+"I do, I do!" Ben says.
+
+Anna puts a burger on a plate and gives it to Ben. Ben takes a big bite and makes a funny face.
+
+"Yuck! This burger is not good. It is hard and cold and has no taste," he says.
+
+Anna is sad. She worked hard to make the burgers. She is honest and does not lie.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I tried to make them good, but they are only toys. They are not real food," she says.
+
+Ben feels bad. He does not want to hurt Anna's feelings. He is honest and does not lie.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I know you tried. You are a good cook. But I have an idea. Why don't we mail these burgers to someone else?" he says.
+
+Anna smiles. She likes Ben's idea. She thinks it is funny and kind.
+
+"OK, let's mail them. Who should we mail them to?" she says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers someone who likes burgers a lot.
+
+"How about we mail them to Grandpa? He loves burgers. Maybe he will like these ones," he says.
+
+Anna agrees. She thinks Grandpa will be happy to get a surprise in the mail. She and Ben wrap the burgers in paper and put them in a box. They write "To Grandpa, from Anna and Ben" on the box. They ask Mom to help them mail the box.
+
+Mom is surprised and curious. She wonders what is in the box. She is proud of Anna and Ben for being honest and creative. She takes them to the post office and mails the box.
+
+Anna and Ben are excited. They hope Grandpa will like their burgers. They go back to the backyard and play with the grill some more. They make more food and share it with their friends. They have fun and laugh a lot. They are happy.
+Lily loves her pet cat, Mimi. Mimi is soft and mild. She likes to cuddle with Lily and play with her toys. But Mimi is not very good at jumping. She often falls off the sofa or the bed and makes a loud noise.
+
+One day, Lily decides to help Mimi improve her jumping. She puts a pillow on the floor and says, "Mimi, look! This is a fun game. You can jump on the pillow and land softly. Try it!"
+
+Mimi looks at the pillow and then at Lily. She is curious but also scared. She does not want to fall again. She meows and shakes her head.
+
+Lily smiles and says, "Don't worry, Mimi. I will help you. I will hold your paws and lift you up. Then you can jump on the pillow. It will be easy and fun. Come on, Mimi!"
+
+Lily gently picks up Mimi and holds her close. She walks to the pillow and says, "Ready, Mimi? One, two, three, jump!" She lets go of Mimi and watches her land on the pillow. Mimi is surprised but happy. She purrs and licks Lily's face.
+
+Lily claps and says, "Yay, Mimi! You did it! You are a good jumper. Let's do it again!" Mimi nods and jumps on the pillow again and again. She feels proud and brave. She and Lily have a lot of fun together. Mimi improves her jumping and Lily improves her friendship. They are the best pet and girl in the world.
+One day, a brown dog saw a quick cat in the park. The dog wanted to play with the cat, so he ran after him. The cat did not want to play with the dog, so he ran away. The dog chased the cat all over the park, but he could not catch him.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" the dog barked. "I just want to be your friend!"
+
+"Go away, go away, go away!" the cat hissed. "I don't like you!"
+
+The dog felt sad. He did not understand why the cat did not like him. He thought the cat was fun and pretty. He valued the cat very much.
+
+Then, he saw a brown girl in the park. She was sitting on a bench and reading a book. The dog liked the girl. He thought she was kind and smart. He valued the girl very much.
+
+He walked up to the girl and wagged his tail. The girl looked up and smiled. She put down her book and petted the dog.
+
+"Hello, hello, hello!" the girl said. "You are a good dog. What is your name?"
+
+The dog licked the girl's face and barked. He was happy. He had found a new friend.
+
+The end.
+Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She was an obedient girl and did what her mom told her. One day, her mom said, "Sara, we are going to make a cake for dad's birthday. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She loved cake and dad. Her mom gave her a small apron to wear. It was pink and had flowers on it. Sara put it on and tied it in the back. She felt like a big girl.
+
+Her mom showed her how to mix the flour, the sugar, the eggs and the butter in a big bowl. Sara helped her mom stir the batter with a wooden spoon. It was fun and sticky. Her mom said, "Good job, Sara. Now we have to put the batter in a pan and cover it with foil. Do you know what foil is?"
+
+Sara pointed to a shiny roll of paper on the counter. Her mom said, "Yes, that's foil. It helps the cake bake evenly and keeps it moist. Can you help me tear a piece of foil and cover the pan?"
+
+Sara nodded and reached for the foil. Her mom helped her tear a big piece and cover the pan with it. They pressed the edges of the foil around the pan. Sara said, "Look, mom. We made a shiny hat for the cake."
+
+Her mom laughed and hugged her. She said, "You are so smart and sweet, Sara. I'm so proud of you. Now let's put the cake in the oven and wait for it to bake. Then we can decorate it with frosting and sprinkles. Do you think dad will like it?"
+
+Sara nodded and clapped her hands. She said, "Yes, mom. Dad will love it. And he will love us too."
+Tom and Lily were excited. They were going to the park with Mom and Dad. They loved the park. It had swings and slides and a big pond with ducks.
+
+"Can we feed the ducks, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. I have some bread for them. But don't get too close, they might bite," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the pond. They saw many ducks. Some were white, some were brown, some had green heads. They threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked.
+
+"Look, Mom, they like it!" Tom said.
+
+"They do, sweetie. They are hungry. The bread provides them with food," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They liked to help the ducks. They watched them eat and swim and flap their wings.
+
+"Mom, can I make a wish?" Lily asked.
+
+"A wish? What do you wish for, honey?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She looked at the ducks, the pond, the park, and her family. She was happy.
+
+"I wish for nothing, Mom. I have everything I need," Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged Lily. She was proud of her daughter.
+
+"That's a very good wish, honey. I wish for the same," Mom said.
+
+Tom joined them. He hugged Mom and Lily.
+
+"Me too, Mom. Me too," Tom said.
+
+They all smiled. They were happy. They had a good day at the park.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. They learn how to ride on the road, but they have to be careful. Mom and Dad tell them to look both ways and wear helmets.
+
+One day, they see a big truck on the road. It is filthy and loud. It makes a lot of smoke and dirt. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see what is in the truck.
+
+"Hey, let's follow the truck!" Ben says.
+
+"No, Ben, that's not safe!" Sara says. "We don't know where it is going. And the road is filthy too. We might get dirty or hurt."
+
+But Ben does not listen. He pedals fast and chases the truck. Sara is scared. She tries to catch up with him, but he is too far. She calls his name, but he does not hear her.
+
+The truck turns a corner and Ben follows. Sara loses sight of him. She stops and cries. She does not know where he is. She does not know how to get back home. She is alone on the filthy road.
+
+She wishes she had listened to Sara. She learns a hard lesson. She hopes Ben is okay. She hopes someone will help her. She hopes Mom and Dad will not be angry. She is very sorry.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green frog near the pond. It was impressive. It had shiny skin and long legs.
+
+"Wow, look at the frog!" Lily said. "Can we catch it?"
+
+"Let's try!" Max said. They ran towards the frog. But the frog was fast. It jumped into the water and hid under a leaf.
+
+"Where did it go?" Lily asked. She looked around the pond. She could not see the frog.
+
+"Maybe it is shy," Max said. He bent down and whispered to the water. "Hello, frog. We are Lily and Max. We want to be your friends. Can you come out and play?"
+
+They waited for a moment. Then they heard a splash. The frog came out of the water. It looked at them with big eyes. It croaked.
+
+"Hello, frog!" Lily and Max said. They smiled. The frog smiled too. It jumped out of the water and landed on Max's hand. It was impressive. Lily and Max found a new friend.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving cars and trucks. Lily had a pink van that she loved very much. Max had a blue car that he liked to zoom around.
+
+"Can I try your van?" Max asked Lily. He wanted to see how it felt to drive a bigger toy.
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, this is my van. You have your car. Go play with that."
+
+Max felt sad. He thought Lily was not nice. He looked at his car and wished it was a van. He did not want to play with Lily anymore.
+
+He saw a boy with a yellow truck near the slide. He walked over to him and smiled. "Hi, I'm Max. Can I play with you?"
+
+The boy looked at Max and his car. He nodded and smiled back. "Sure, I'm Ben. This is my truck. Do you want to trade for a while?"
+
+Max was happy. He gave his car to Ben and took his truck. He liked how it had big wheels and a horn. He drove it around the sand and made loud noises.
+
+Lily saw Max playing with Ben and his truck. She felt lonely. She wanted to play with Max again. She drove her van to where they were and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Can I play with you?"
+
+Max and Ben looked at Lily and her van. They shrugged. They did not care. They had their own toys and they were having fun.
+
+Lily felt sad. She thought Max and Ben were not nice. She looked at her van and wished it was a car or a truck. She did not want to play with them anymore.
+
+She saw a girl with a green bike near the swings. She walked over to her and smiled. "Hi, I'm Lily. Can I play with you?"
+
+The girl looked at Lily and her van. She nodded and smiled back. "Sure, I'm Mia. This is my bike. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily was happy. She gave her van to Mia and took her bike. She liked how it had pedals and a bell. She rode it around the grass and made gentle sounds.
+
+Mia saw Lily playing with her bike and smiled. She liked her van. She drove it around the flowers and made pretty sounds.
+
+They played together until it was time to go home. They gave back their toys and hugged. They said, "Bye, see you soon. You are nice."
+
+Lily and Max saw each other and waved. They did not say anything. They went home with their toys and their parents. They learned that sharing is good and that there are many ways to play.
+Ben and Mia like to play hide and seek in the park. They take turns to hide and count. One day, they see a big jet in the sky. It makes a loud noise and flies very fast.
+
+"Wow, look at the jet!" Ben says. "It is so big and shiny!"
+
+"I want to hide from the jet," Mia says. "It is too loud and scary!"
+
+Mia runs to a big tree and hides behind it. Ben counts to ten and then looks for her. He does not see her by the swings, the slide, or the sandbox. He starts to feel worried.
+
+"Mia, where are you?" he calls. "I can't find you!"
+
+Mia hears Ben's voice and peeks out from behind the tree. She sees that the jet is gone and the sky is quiet again. She feels silly for being scared.
+
+"Here I am, Ben!" she says. "I was hiding from the jet, but it flew away!"
+
+Ben runs to the tree and hugs Mia. He is happy to see her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia," he says. "I didn't mean to scare you with the jet. It was just a plane, not a monster."
+
+"It's okay, Ben," Mia says. "I know it was just a plane, but it was so loud and fast. Next time, let's hide together, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mia," Ben says. "Let's hide together. You are my best friend."
+
+They smile and hold hands. They are not scared of the jet anymore. They are ready to play hide and seek again.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump, and slide on the grass and the swings. But it was a very hot day, and soon they felt tired and thirsty.
+
+"Let's go and rest under that big tree," Lila said. "It has a lot of shadow and we can drink some water."
+
+"OK," Tom agreed. They ran to the tree and sat down on the grass. They drank some water from their bottles and felt better.
+
+But Tom was impatient. He wanted to play some more. He saw a squirrel on the branch and tried to catch it. He climbed on the tree and reached for the squirrel. But the squirrel was faster and ran away.
+
+"Tom, come down!" Lila shouted. "It's too high and dangerous. You can fall and hurt yourself."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He wanted to catch the squirrel. He climbed higher and higher, until he was out of the shadow and in the sun. He felt very hot and dizzy. He lost his balance and fell down.
+
+"Ouch!" Tom cried. He landed on the grass and hurt his arm and his leg. He was very scared and sad.
+
+Lila ran to him and hugged him. She helped him get up and checked his arm and his leg. They were not broken, but they had some scratches and bruises.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila," Tom said. "I was silly and impatient. I should have listened to you and rested in the shadow."
+
+"It's OK, Tom," Lila said. "But next time, be more careful and don't chase squirrels. They are too fast and smart for you."
+
+They walked slowly to the bench where their mom was waiting. She saw their faces and their injuries and asked them what happened. They told her the truth and she hugged them and kissed them. She gave them some band-aids and some ice cream and told them to rest and be good.
+
+Lila and Tom smiled and thanked their mom. They ate their ice cream and rested on the bench. They watched the squirrels play on the tree and decided to leave them alone. They learned their lesson and were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make pretend stories with their dolls and cars. Tom had a big truck with a handle that he could pull to make it go. Lily had a pretty doll with a dress and a hat.
+
+"Let's go to the park with our toys," Tom said. "We can have a picnic and play on the swings."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "But we have to ask Mommy first."
+
+They ran to the kitchen where Mommy was making lunch. "Mommy, can we go to the park with our toys?" they asked.
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Sure, but you have to be careful and stay close to me. And don't forget to wash your hands before you eat."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and ran back to the living room. They put their toys in a basket and followed Mommy to the door. Tom grabbed the handle of his truck and pulled it along. Lily carried her doll in her arms.
+
+They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a tree. Mommy spread a blanket on the grass and took out some sandwiches and juice. Tom and Lily put their toys on the blanket and sat down.
+
+"Yummy, this is good," Tom said as he bit into his sandwich.
+
+"Me too," Lily said as she sipped her juice.
+
+They finished their lunch and thanked Mommy. Then they got up and ran to the swings. They took turns pushing each other and laughing.
+
+Tom saw a big puddle near the slide. He thought it would be fun to splash in it with his truck. He ran to the puddle and threw his truck in it. The water splashed everywhere and made his truck dirty.
+
+"Look, Lily, look!" Tom shouted. "My truck is swimming!"
+
+Lily ran to see what Tom was doing. She saw his truck in the puddle and gasped. The water was brown and smelly. There were bugs and leaves in it. It was disgusting.
+
+"Tom, that's gross!" Lily said. "You can't play with your truck in there. It's dirty and yucky. You have to take it out and clean it."
+
+Tom looked at his truck and shrugged. He didn't think it was gross. He thought it was fun.
+
+"No, I like it," Tom said. "It's cool and wet. I want to play with it more."
+
+He reached for the handle of his truck and tried to pull it out. But the handle was stuck in the mud. He pulled harder and harder, but it didn't move. He got angry and frustrated.
+
+"Come on, come on!" Tom said. "Let go of my truck!"
+
+He pulled so hard that the handle broke off. He fell backwards and landed on his butt. He looked at the handle in his hand and the truck in the puddle. He felt sad and sorry.
+
+"Oh no, oh no!" Tom said. "I broke my truck. I broke my truck."
+
+He started to cry. Lily ran to him and hugged him. She felt sorry for him too.
+
+"It's okay, Tom, it's okay," Lily said. "Maybe Mommy can fix it. Maybe we can get a new one. Don't cry, Tom, don't cry."
+
+She helped him get up and took his hand. They walked back to the blanket where Mommy was waiting. Mommy saw Tom's face and the handle in his hand. She knew what happened.
+
+"Oh, Tom, what did you do?" Mommy said. "Did you play with your truck in the puddle?"
+
+Tom nodded and sniffed. He gave Mommy the handle and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy, I'm sorry. I broke my truck. I broke my truck."
+
+Mommy hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom, it's okay. I'm not mad at you. But you have to be more careful with your toys. You can't play with them in dirty water. It's not good for them or for you. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy, I understand. I won't do it again. I promise."
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "That's good, Tom, that's good. Now let's go home and clean your truck. Maybe we can fix it. Maybe we can get a new one. But you have to be a good boy and listen to me. Do you promise?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy, I promise. I love you, Mommy."
+
+Mommy said, "I love you too, Tom. And I love you, Lily. You're both my good kids."
+
+She packed the basket and took Tom's truck from the puddle. She held Tom's hand and Lily's hand. They walked home together. Tom
+Tom and Anna were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They had big bags with clothes and toys. They called them luggage. They put their luggage in the car and drove to the airport.
+
+At the airport, they saw many people and planes. They had to wait in a line to show their tickets. Then they had to give their luggage to a man who worked there. He put their luggage on a belt that moved. Tom and Anna wondered where their luggage was going.
+
+They followed their mom and dad to a gate. There they saw a big plane with a sign that said "New York". They were going to New York to visit their grandma and grandpa. They were very excited.
+
+They boarded the plane and found their seats. A lady who worked on the plane came to them. She smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Lisa. I'm here to serve you. Do you need anything?"
+
+Tom and Anna looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They were not hungry or thirsty. They just wanted to see their grandma and grandpa.
+
+They shook their heads and said, "No, thank you."
+
+Lisa nodded and said, "Okay, enjoy your flight. If you need anything, just press this button."
+
+She pointed to a button on the armrest. Then she walked away.
+
+Tom and Anna buckled their seat belts and looked out the window. They saw the plane moving faster and faster. Then they felt the plane lift off the ground. They were flying!
+
+They clapped their hands and said, "Wow, this is fun!"
+
+They hoped their luggage was flying with them too. They could not wait to see their grandma and grandpa. They knew they had many old stories to tell them.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden with their toy helicopter. They liked to make it fly in the air and land on the grass. They pretended they were pilots and went on adventures.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make the helicopter go very high!" Ben said, throwing it up with his hand.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's amazing!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Can I try?"
+
+Ben nodded and gave the helicopter to Lily. She threw it up too, but not as high as Ben. She caught it and smiled.
+
+"Let's go to the sandbox and make a helipad for the helicopter," she said.
+
+"Okay, that sounds fun," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the sandbox and started to dig and shape the sand. They made a flat circle and put some sticks around it. They put the helicopter on the circle and admired their work.
+
+"Look, our helipad is ready!" Lily said.
+
+"Great, now we can land and take off anytime we want," Ben said.
+
+They played with the helicopter for a while, making it fly and land on the helipad. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then they heard their mom calling them from the house.
+
+"Ben, Lily, it's time to come inside and have lunch!" she said.
+
+They looked at each other and sighed.
+
+"Can we play a little more, mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, you have to come inside now. You can play later, after you eat and rest," mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom," Lily said.
+
+They picked up the helicopter and started to walk to the house. But they noticed that the helicopter was filthy. It had sand and dirt and grass all over it.
+
+"Uh-oh, the helicopter is dirty," Ben said.
+
+"We have to clean it," Lily said.
+
+They looked around and saw a hose near the fence. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's use the hose to wash the helicopter," Ben said.
+
+"Good idea, Ben," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the hose and turned it on. They sprayed the water on the helicopter and watched the dirt wash away. They laughed and splashed each other.
+
+"Look, the helicopter is clean now!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is," Ben said.
+
+They turned off the hose and dried the helicopter with a towel. They were happy.
+
+"Let's go inside and show mom our helicopter," Ben said.
+
+"Okay, let's go," Lily said.
+
+They held the helicopter and ran to the house. They did not want to leave it outside. They loved their helicopter.
+Sara and Ben liked to play near the pond. They saw many animals there, like ducks, frogs and fish. But they never saw the big alligator that lived in the water. He was shy and scared of people.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben found a small toy car near the pond. It was red and shiny, but it had a broken wheel. They wanted to fix it and make it go. They looked for something to restore the wheel. They saw a round nut on the ground. They thought it would fit.
+
+They picked up the nut and the car and walked to the pond. They wanted to wash the car and make it clean. But they did not see the alligator watching them. He was curious and hungry. He thought the nut was a tasty snack. He opened his mouth and snapped at the nut.
+
+Sara and Ben screamed and dropped the car and the nut. They ran away from the pond. They were scared and sad. They lost their toy car and their nut.
+
+The alligator felt sorry for them. He did not want to hurt them. He was gentle and kind. He picked up the car and the nut with his teeth. He swam to the edge of the pond. He saw Sara and Ben hiding behind a tree. He made a low noise to get their attention.
+
+Sara and Ben peeked from the tree. They saw the alligator with the car and the nut. They were surprised and confused. The alligator put the car and the nut on the ground. He nudged them with his nose. He wanted to give them back.
+
+Sara and Ben walked slowly to the pond. They saw the alligator smiling at them. He did not look scary or mean. He looked friendly and nice. They said thank you to the alligator. They took the car and the nut. They fixed the wheel and made the car go. They played with the car and the alligator. They became friends.
+Anna likes to play with her furry cat, Max. She hugs him and brushes his fur. She gives him fish and milk. Max likes Anna too. He purrs and rubs his head on her.
+
+But sometimes, Max wants to be alone. He hides under the bed or on the shelf. He does not want to play or cuddle. He ignores Anna when she calls him. He closes his eyes and sleeps.
+
+Anna feels sad when Max ignores her. She thinks he does not love her anymore. She tries to find him and make him happy. She brings him toys and treats. She says, "Max, please come out. I want to play with you. I love you, Max."
+
+But Max does not come out. He stays under the bed or on the shelf. He ignores Anna and her toys and treats. He opens one eye and looks at her. He thinks, "Anna, please leave me alone. I want to sleep. I love you, Anna, but I need some space."
+
+Anna does not understand why Max ignores her. She thinks he is mad at her or sick. She cries and runs to her mom. She says, "Mom, Max does not want to play with me. He ignores me and hides. Is he mad at me? Is he sick?"
+
+Mom hugs Anna and wipes her tears. She says, "No, Anna, Max is not mad at you or sick. He is just a cat. Cats are different from people. Sometimes they like to be alone and quiet. It does not mean they do not love you. It means they need some time to rest and relax. You should respect that and let him be. He will come out when he is ready. He will play with you and cuddle with you again. He loves you, Anna, and you love him. That is what matters."
+
+Anna nods and smiles. She says, "OK, Mom, I understand. I will let Max be. I will wait for him to come out. I love him, Mom, and he loves me. That is what matters."
+
+Mom kisses Anna and says, "That's right, Anna. You are a good girl and a good friend to Max. Now, why don't you play with your dolls or read a book? Maybe Max will join you later."
+
+Anna says, "OK, Mom, I will. Thank you, Mom. I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Anna. Have fun, sweetie."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. But the sun is very bright and hurts their eyes. They want to get sunglasses like Mom and Dad.
+
+They go to Mom and Dad's room and look for sunglasses. They find two pairs on the dresser. One pair is big and black. The other pair is small and pink. Lily likes the pink pair. Ben likes the black pair.
+
+They put on the sunglasses and look at each other. They think they look very cool. They run outside to show Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad are sitting on the porch. They see Lily and Ben with their sunglasses. They smile and laugh.
+
+"Where did you get those sunglasses?" Mom asks.
+
+"We got them from your room," Lily says.
+
+"Those are our old sunglasses," Dad says. "We don't use them anymore. You can have them if you want."
+
+"Yay!" Lily and Ben say. "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
+
+They hug Mom and Dad and then go back to play. They are happy with their old sunglasses. They can see better in the sun. They have fun.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a small patch where they grew radishes, carrots and lettuce. They watered them every day and waited for them to grow big and juicy.
+
+One day, they saw that some of their radishes were ready to pick. They were red and round and looked very tasty. Tom and Lily each pulled one out of the ground and washed them in a bucket of water.
+
+"Let's share them with our friends," Lily said. She was a generous girl who liked to make others happy.
+
+"Okay," Tom agreed. He was a generous boy who liked to share.
+
+They put the radishes in a basket and went to look for their friends. They saw Ben and Mia playing with a ball near the fence. They waved and called them over.
+
+"Hi, Tom and Lily," Ben and Mia said. "What do you have in the basket?"
+
+"We have radishes from our garden," Tom and Lily said. "We want to share them with you. Do you like radishes?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Ben and Mia said. "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very generous."
+
+They each took a radish and bit into it. They smiled and said it was delicious and crunchy.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Ben's ball rolled away and hit the fence. The fence was old and weak and it broke with a loud crack. The ball bounced over the fence and into the street.
+
+"Oh no, my ball!" Ben cried. He ran to the fence and tried to climb over it. But the fence was broken and it had sharp edges. Ben cut his hand and it started to bleed.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben shouted. He dropped his radish and held his hand.
+
+Tom, Lily and Mia ran to help him. They saw his hand and felt sorry for him.
+
+"Don't worry, Ben," Lily said. "We will get your ball back. And we will get a bandage for your hand."
+
+"Yes, Ben," Tom said. "We are your friends. We will take care of you."
+
+They hugged Ben and told him it would be okay. Then they went to get his ball and a bandage. They were generous friends who liked to help.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pretty dress, and a smile. Lily and Anna did everything together. They had tea parties, read books, and sang songs.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, we have to go to the store. Do you want to come with me or stay with dad?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to go with mom, but she also wanted to play with Anna. She decided to stay with dad.
+
+"Okay, mom. I will stay with dad and Anna. Have fun at the store!"
+
+"Bye, Lily. I love you. Be good and listen to dad."
+
+Mom kissed Lily and left. Lily and dad waved goodbye. Then Lily ran to her room with Anna.
+
+Lily and Anna played for a while. They had a tea party with cookies and juice. They read a book about a princess and a dragon. They sang a song about rainbows and stars.
+
+Then Lily had an idea. She wanted to make Anna look like a woman. She found some of mom's things in the closet. She put a hat on Anna's head, a scarf around her neck, and a coat over her dress. She also put some lipstick on Anna's mouth, some eyeshadow on her eyes, and some blush on her cheeks.
+
+Lily looked at Anna and smiled. She thought Anna looked like a beautiful woman. She said, "Anna, you are so pretty. You look like mom. Do you like it?"
+
+But Anna did not answer. She did not smile. She did not look like Anna anymore. She looked like a scary woman. She had a big mouth, dark eyes, and red cheeks. She looked angry and mean.
+
+Lily felt scared. She did not like Anna anymore. She wanted her old Anna back. She cried, "Anna, what happened to you? You are not my friend. You are a scary woman. Go away!"
+
+Lily threw Anna on the floor and ran to dad. She hugged him and said, "Dad, dad, help me! Anna became a scary woman. She is not nice. She is not Anna. I want my Anna back!"
+
+Dad looked at Lily and saw her tears. He said, "Lily, don't cry. It's okay. Anna is still your friend. She is not a scary woman. She is just a doll with some clothes and makeup. You can take them off and make her look like Anna again."
+
+Dad took Lily to her room and showed her how to remove the hat, the scarf, the coat, the lipstick, the eyeshadow, and the blush from Anna. He said, "See, Lily? Anna is still here. She is still pretty. She still smiles. She still loves you."
+
+Lily looked at Anna and saw her long hair, her pretty dress, and her smile. She felt happy. She said, "Anna, I'm sorry. I did not mean to make you scary. I love you. You are my friend."
+
+Lily hugged Anna and said, "Thank you, dad. You are the best. You made Anna look like Anna again."
+
+Dad smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. You are my girl. You can play with Anna as much as you want. But remember, she is a doll, not a woman. And she is not scary, she is sweet."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I know, dad. I know. Anna is a doll, not a woman. And she is sweet, not scary."
+
+Lily and Anna played some more. They had another tea party, read another book, and sang another song. They were happy and they were friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big box. They pretend it is a car. They zoom around the yard.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Lily says. "We are going fast!"
+
+"Beep, beep, beep!" Ben says. "Watch out for the tree!"
+
+They stop the car. They see a big stick. It is brown and long. They pick it up.
+
+"Look, Lily, a stick!" Ben says. "We can use it for something."
+
+"Maybe we can make a flag," Lily says. "We need some paper and a marker."
+
+They go inside. They find some paper and a marker. They draw a colorful picture on the paper. It has a sun, a flower and a smiley face. They tape the paper to the stick.
+
+"Wow, it is a beautiful flag!" Lily says. "Let's go back to the car."
+
+They go back to the car. They put the flag on the box. They zoom around the yard again.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Lily says. "We are the best drivers!"
+
+"Beep, beep, beep!" Ben says. "And we have the best flag!"
+Lily and Max were playing in the backyard with their wagon. They liked to fill it with toys and flowers and pretend they were going on a trip. Sometimes they would take turns pulling the wagon, and sometimes they would both push it.
+
+One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a sticker that said "fragile". They wondered what was inside. They decided to put it in their wagon and take it to their secret spot under the tree.
+
+"Maybe it's a present for us," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it's a surprise for Mom and Dad," Max said.
+
+They were very careful not to shake the box or drop it. They reached their secret spot and opened the box. Inside, they saw a beautiful glass vase with colorful flowers painted on it.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily exclaimed.
+
+"It's so shiny!" Max agreed.
+
+They lifted the vase out of the box and put it on the grass. They admired it for a while, then they heard Mom calling them for lunch.
+
+"Let's go, we can come back later," Lily said.
+
+"Okay, but we have to hide the vase so no one sees it," Max said.
+
+They looked around and saw a big pile of leaves. They thought it was a good place to hide the vase. They covered it with leaves and ran to the house.
+
+They didn't know that a strong wind was blowing. The wind lifted the leaves and revealed the vase. The wind also knocked over the wagon and the box. The box rolled down the hill and hit a rock. The rock flew up and hit the vase. The vase broke into many pieces.
+
+When Lily and Max came back, they saw the mess. They felt very sad and sorry. They picked up the pieces and put them back in the box. They dragged the box and the wagon to the garage. They hoped Mom and Dad wouldn't find out. They learned a lesson: fragile things need to be handled with care.
+Tom and Anna liked to play outside when the weather was good. They had a large yard with many toys and flowers. One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was white and fluffy, like a sheep.
+
+"Look, Anna, a cloud!" Tom said. "Do you think it has rain inside?"
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Let's ask it!" Anna said. She waved her hand and shouted, "Hello, cloud! Do you have rain?"
+
+The cloud did not answer. It just stayed in the sky, quiet and still. Tom and Anna waited for a while, but nothing happened.
+
+"Maybe the cloud is shy," Tom said. "Or maybe it can't hear us. Let's go closer!"
+
+Tom and Anna ran to the other side of the yard, where they had a ladder. They climbed the ladder, hoping to reach the cloud. But the cloud was too high. They could not touch it or talk to it.
+
+They were about to give up, when something amazing happened. The cloud changed its shape. It became a different animal every time. First, it was a cat. Then, it was a fish. Then, it was a bird. Then, it was a bear.
+
+"Wow, Anna, look! The cloud is playing with us!" Tom said. "It is making funny shapes!"
+
+"Yes, Tom, look! The cloud is smiling at us!" Anna said. "It is saying hello!"

+Tom and Anna smiled back at the cloud. They felt happy and surprised. The cloud was their new friend. It appeared to like them too.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for worms and bugs. Sometimes they found other things, like stones, shells, or coins.
+
+One day, Anna found something big and brown in the dirt. She pulled it out and saw that it was a root. It was long and thick and had many bumps on it.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a root!" Anna said, holding it up.
+
+"What is a root?" Ben asked, coming closer.
+
+"A root is a part of a plant that grows under the ground. It helps the plant get water and food. Some roots are good to eat, like carrots and potatoes. But some roots are not good to eat, like this one. It is too hard and bitter," Anna explained.
+
+"Can we replace it with something else?" Ben asked.
+
+"Replace means to put something new instead of something old. Yes, we can replace it with something else. Let's go to the kitchen and see what we can find," Anna said.
+
+They ran to the kitchen and asked their mom if they could have a snack. Their mom gave them some tasty apple slices and cheese.
+
+"Can we have these instead of the root?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, you can have these instead of the root. But what are you going to do with the root?" their mom asked.
+
+"We are going to put it back in the hole. Maybe it will grow into a new plant," Anna said.
+
+"That's a good idea. But be careful not to hurt any other plants or animals in the garden," their mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben thanked their mom and took their snack to the garden. They ate the apple slices and cheese and enjoyed the sweet and salty flavors. Then they put the root back in the hole and covered it with dirt.
+
+"Maybe we will find something else next time," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe we will. But I like our snack better than the root," Anna said.
+
+They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to have each other and their tasty snack.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Sara has a new top. It is red and blue and shiny. She shows it to Ben.
+
+"Look at my top, Ben. It can spin very fast. Do you want to try?" Sara says.
+
+"Yes, please. Can I spin it on the slide?" Ben says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't let it fall." Sara says.
+
+They go to the slide. Ben puts the top on the slide. He gives it a push. The top spins down the slide. It makes a nice sound. Sara and Ben clap their hands.
+
+"Wow, that was fun. Can I do it again?" Ben says.
+
+"Sure, but let me have a turn too." Sara says.
+
+They take turns spinning the top on the slide. They laugh and smile. They are happy.
+
+After a while, they see a swing. They run to the swing. Sara gets on the swing. Ben pushes her.
+
+"Higher, higher!" Sara says.
+
+Ben pushes harder. Sara swings higher and higher. She feels the wind in her hair. She sees the sky and the trees. She is excited.
+
+"Look at me, Ben. I'm flying!" Sara says.
+
+"You're so brave, Sara. I want to swing too." Ben says.
+
+"OK, let me get off. You can swing now." Sara says.
+
+She slows down the swing. She jumps off. Ben gets on the swing. Sara pushes him.
+
+"Higher, higher!" Ben says.

+
+They swing and swing. They have a lot of fun. They are friends.
+Anna liked to play with her toys in her room. She had many toys on her shelf, but her favorite was a pink bunny. She hugged the bunny and talked to it every day.
+
+One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He saw the bunny on the shelf and wanted to play with it. He reached for the bunny and took it from the shelf.
+
+"Hey, that's my bunny!" Anna shouted. "Give it back to me!"
+
+"No, I want to play with it!" Tom said. "It's just a harmless toy, you can share it with me!"
+
+Anna was very angry. She did not want to share her bunny with Tom. She loved her bunny and did not want him to break it or lose it. She ran to Tom and tried to grab the bunny from his hands.
+
+"Stop it, Anna!" Tom said. "You are being mean and selfish!"
+
+"No, you are!" Anna said. "You took my bunny without asking! You are a bad brother!"
+
+They pulled and tugged on the bunny, making it squeak and stretch. They did not hear their mom coming into the room.
+
+"What is going on here?" their mom asked. "Why are you fighting over a toy?"
+
+"Mom, he took my bunny!" Anna said. "He demanded to play with it and he won't give it back!"
+
+"Mom, she won't let me play with it!" Tom said. "She thinks it's only hers and she won't share it!"
+
+Their mom looked at them and shook her head. She took the bunny from their hands and put it back on the shelf.
+
+"Listen, both of you," she said. "This bunny is Anna's toy, and she has the right to decide who can play with it. Tom, you should not take things that are not yours without asking. That is rude and disrespectful. Anna, you should be more generous and kind to your brother. He is not trying to hurt your bunny, he just wants to have fun with you. Sharing is caring, and it makes everyone happy. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Tom nodded. They felt sorry for fighting and making their mom upset. They hugged each other and said they were sorry.
+
+"Can we play with the bunny together, please?" Tom asked.
+
+"Okay, but you have to be gentle and careful with it," Anna said.
+
+"Thank you, Anna," Tom said.
+
+They took the bunny from the shelf and played with it on the floor. They made it hop and dance and sing. They laughed and smiled and had a good time. Their mom watched them and smiled too. She was glad they learned their lesson and became friends again.

+
+"Wait for me, Anna!" Ben says.
+
+"No, I go first!" Anna says. She slides down fast. She laughs.
+
+Ben is sad. He waits for his turn. He is patient. He hopes Anna will allow him to slide too.
+
+Anna sees Ben. She sees he is sad. She feels sorry. She is generous. She decides to share the slide.
+
+"Ben, you can go now!" Anna says. She climbs up again. She waits for Ben.
+

+
+They splash and quack and have fun. But then they hear their mom.
+
+"Tom, Lily, time to get out of the bath and go to bed!" Mom says. She comes in with two towels. She is alert. She knows they like to stay in the water.
+
+"But, Mom, we are not tired!" Tom and Lily say. They make sad faces. They want to play more.

+
+"Let's clean together," Lily says to Ben. "We can put the toys in the box." Ben nods. They start to clean their toys. They pick up the cars, the dolls, the blocks, and the books. They put them in the box. The box is tight. It is full of toys. They cannot close the lid.
+
+"Uh-oh," Ben says. "The box is too tight. We have too many toys. What do we do?"
+
+Lily thinks. She has an idea. She says: "We can give some toys to other kids. They will be happy. And we will have more space."
+
+Ben likes the idea. He says: "Yes, let's do that. We can give some toys to the kids at the park. They will play with them. And we will have more room."
+
+They choose some toys to give away. They put them in a bag. They close the lid of the box. They show Mommy their note and their box. Mommy is proud. She says: "Good job, Lily and Ben!

+Tom and Anna liked to help their mom with grocery. They went to the big store with her and put things in the cart. Mom let them choose some fruits and snacks. They were happy.

+Anna liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was purple. She used purple to draw flowers, stars, and her cat. She was very proud of her drawings and showed them to her mom and dad.
+
+One day, Anna went to play with her friend Ben. Ben had a big box of crayons too, but he did not like purple. He said purple was a silly color and only girls liked it. He took Anna's purple crayon and broke it in half. Anna felt very sad and angry. She wanted to cry, but she did not want Ben to see.
+
+"Give me back my purple crayon!" Anna said. "You are a mean boy!"
+
+"No, I won't!" Ben said. "Purple is a bad color. You should use blue or green or red. They are better colors."
+
+Anna did not agree. She liked purple and she wanted her crayon back. She tried to grab it from Ben, but he was bigger and stronger. He pushed her away and laughed. Anna fell on the floor and scraped her knee. It hurt a lot and she started to cry.
+
+Ben's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna crying and Ben holding the broken crayon. She was not happy with Ben. She scolded him and made him say sorry to Anna. She also gave Anna a band-aid for her knee and a new purple crayon.
+
+"Thank you, Ben's mom," Anna said. She was still sad, but she felt a little better.
+
+"You're welcome, Anna," Ben's mom said. "You are a very good girl. Do you want to stay and play with Ben some more?"
+
+Anna looked at Ben. He was shy and did not look at her. He did not say anything. He felt sorry for what he did, but he did not know how to say it.
+
+Anna shook her head. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She wanted to go home and draw with her new purple crayon. She said goodbye to Ben's mom and took her drawings.

+
+Max was sad and angry. He wanted a slice of pizza. He said, "That's not fair. You should share your pizza. It's not a real pizza. It's just blocks." He grabbed the big round block and pulled it hard. The tape broke and the blocks flew everywhere. Some of them hit Lily and Max in the face.

+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to build things with wood and nails and a hammer. They had a big box of tools that their dad gave them.
+
+But then the sky became dark and loud. It started to rain. Big drops of water fell on their heads and their toys. Tom and Lily ran to the porch.
+
+"Oh no, our tools are getting wet!" Lily said.
+
+"We have to get them!" Tom said. He grabbed the hammer and ran back to the yard.
+
+"Tom, wait! It's too wet and cold!" Lily shouted. She followed him with a towel.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He was crazy. He wanted to save the tools. He picked up the nails and the saw and the screwdriver. He put them in the towel.
+
+But then he slipped on the wet grass. He fell down and dropped the hammer. The hammer hit his toe.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried. He held his toe and rolled on the ground.
+
+Lily ran to him. She wrapped the towel around his toe. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom nodded. He was still crying, but not so loud. He said, "I'm sorry, too. I was silly. I should have listened to you."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "It's okay. We can play with the tools another day. Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate."
+
+Tom smiled, too. He said, "Okay. That sounds good."
+
+They got up and walked to the house. They left the hammer in the yard. They did not need it anymore. They had each other.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a fancy tea party with their dolls and stuffed animals. They put on hats and scarves and pretended to be grown-ups.
+
+"Would you like some more cake, Mr. Bear?" Lily asked, holding a plastic plate.

+
+"The shed is on fire, Mommy! We saw smoke and fire!" Tom said.

+Mommy gasped and grabbed her phone. She called Daddy, who was at work, and told him what happened. Then she called the firemen and told them to come quickly.
+
+She took Lily and Tom to the front yard and hugged them. She told them they were brave and smart to tell her. She said they were safe and she loved them.
+
+Lily and Tom felt scared and sad. They liked the shed. It had their toys and bikes and tools. They hoped the firemen could stop the fire.
+
+They heard sirens and saw a big red truck. The firemen jumped out and ran to the shed. They had hoses and axes and helmets. They sprayed water and broke the door. They worked hard to put out the fire.
+
+Lily and Tom watched from a distance. They felt curious and amazed. They had never seen firemen before. They wondered how they did their job.
+
+After a while, the firemen came back. They said the fire was out and the shed was safe. They said it was an accident. They said a wire was broken and made a spark. They said they were sorry for the damage.
+
+Mommy thanked the firemen and gave them cookies and juice. She said they were heroes and she was grateful. She said they saved the shed and the house.
+
+Lily and Tom thanked the firemen too. They said they were cool and brave. They said they wanted to be firemen when they grew up.
+
+The firemen smiled and waved. They said they were glad to help. They said they liked cookies and juice. They said they liked Lily and Tom.
+
+They got back in the truck and drove away. Lily and Tom waved goodbye. They felt happy and proud. They had a fancy tea party and met firemen. They had a big adventure.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with blocks. They made towers and bridges and castles with the blocks. They had fun and shared the blocks.
+
+One day, they saw a big box with a ribbon on it. It was a prize for the best block builder. Lily and Ben wanted the prize. They decided to have a contest. They each had the same number of blocks and the same time to build.
+
+Lily made a tall tower with many colors. Ben made a long bridge with many shapes. They both worked hard and used all their blocks. When the time was up, they looked at each other's creations.
+
+"Wow, your tower is very high!" Ben said to Lily.
+
+"Thank you, your bridge is very smart!" Lily said to Ben.
+
+They both liked each other's blocks, but they also wanted the prize. They did not know who should get it. They looked at the box and wondered what was inside.
+
+A teacher came and saw their blocks. She smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+"Very good, Lily and Ben! You both did a great job! You are both winners!" she said.
+
+She opened the box and took out two smaller boxes. Each box had a ribbon and a tag with a name. She gave one box to Lily and one box to Ben.
+
+They opened their boxes and saw what was inside. They both gasped and smiled. They both had the same prize: a new set of blocks!
+
+They hugged each other and thanked the teacher. They were happy and proud. They did not weep, they cheered. They decided to play together with their new blocks. They made more towers and bridges and castles. They had more fun and shared more blocks. They were friends who liked to play with blocks.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Lily had a pink doll that she called Rose. Ben had a blue car that he called Zoom.
+
+"Rose is going to the park with Zoom," Lily said. "They are going to have fun on the swings and the slide."
+
+"No, they are not," Ben said. "Zoom is going to the race with the other cars. He is very fast and he will win."
+
+"But Rose wants to go to the park with Zoom," Lily said. "She likes to swing and slide. She does not like to watch races. That is not fair."
+
+Ben did not want to share his car with Lily. He liked to play with Zoom by himself. He did not care what Rose wanted. He grabbed Zoom and ran to his room.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She wanted to play with Ben and Zoom. She did not like to play alone. She followed Ben to his room and knocked on the door.
+
+"Ben, let me in," she said. "I want to play with you and Zoom. Please share your car with me. It is time to be nice."
+
+Ben did not answer. He locked the door and hid under his bed with Zoom. He did not want to see Lily or hear her voice. He closed his eyes and pretended he was in a race.
+
+Lily waited outside the door. She hoped Ben would change his mind and open the door. She blinked her eyes and wished for a magic fairy to help her. She did not know what to do. She felt very lonely and sad.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, making noises and pretending.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Ben says.
+
+"Shh, my doll is sleeping, she needs quiet!" Anna says.
+
+Ben does not listen. He drives his car closer to Anna and her doll. He wants to make her laugh.
+
+"Beep, beep, watch out!" he says.
+
+Anna gets angry. She does not want Ben to bother her doll. She pushes his car away.
+
+"Stop it, Ben, you are mean!" she says.
+
+Ben feels sad. He does not mean to be mean. He just wants to play.
+
+"Sorry, Anna, I was just joking," he says.
+
+He picks up his car and looks at it. He sees a crack on the side. His car is fragile. He does not want it to break.
+
+He pauses. He thinks of something. He has an idea.
+
+"Anna, do you want to trade?" he asks.
+
+Anna looks at him. She is curious.
+
+"Trade what?" she asks.
+
+Ben shows her his car.
+
+"My car for your doll," he says.
+
+Anna thinks. She likes her doll, but she also likes cars. She pauses. She decides.
+
+"Okay, Ben, let's trade," she says.
+
+They swap their toys. They smile. They are happy.
+
+They start to play again. But this time, they are careful. They do not want to hurt their fragile toys. They do not want to make each other angry. They want to be nice.
+
+They are brother and sister. They are friends.
+Tom liked to play with his toy machine. It had wheels and buttons and made noises. He took it everywhere he went. One day, he went to the park with his mom and his machine. He saw other kids playing with balls and bikes and dolls. He wanted to join them, but he was afraid they would laugh at his machine.
+
+He hid behind a tree and watched them. He saw a girl with a pink bike. She smiled and waved at him. He smiled back, but he did not move. He was ashamed of his machine. He thought it was too old and too loud and too different.
+
+The girl came closer and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?"
+
+Tom said, "I'm Tom. This is my machine."
+
+Lily looked at his machine and said, "Wow, that's cool. What does it do?"
+
+Tom said, "It can move and beep and flash. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please."
+
+Tom pressed a button and his machine started to roll and beep and flash. Lily clapped and said, "That's amazing. Can I try?"
+
+Tom said, "Sure, here you go."
+
+He gave her his machine and she pressed another button. The machine made a loud noise and shot a stream of water. Lily and Tom laughed and got wet. They played with the machine for a long time. They made friends with the other kids and shared their toys.
+
+Tom was not ashamed of his machine anymore. He was proud and happy. He thanked Lily for being nice to him and said, "You can play with my machine anytime."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you, Tom. You can play with my bike anytime."
+
+They hugged and said goodbye. Tom went home with his mom and his machine. He had a lot of fun at the park. He learned that his machine was not too old or too loud or too different. It was special and fun and made him happy. He loved his machine.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms and bugs. They had a big shovel and a small bucket.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big worm!" Tom said, holding it up. "It is long and slimy."
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is a big worm!" Lily said, touching it gently. "Can I have it?"
+
+"OK, Lily, you can have it. But we have to prepare a home for it. Worms like to live in holes with dirt and leaves."
+
+Tom and Lily dug a hole in the ground. They put some dirt and leaves in the bucket. They poured some water on it to make it wet. They put the worm in the bucket and covered it with more dirt and leaves.
+
+"There, Lily, we prepared a home for the worm. It will be happy and safe here," Tom said, smiling.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, you are a good brother. I love the worm. I will name it Wiggly," Lily said, hugging the bucket.
+
+They left the bucket in the hole and went to play with their ball.
+
+The next day, Tom and Lily went to check on Wiggly. They lifted the bucket and looked inside. But they did not see the worm. They only saw dirt and leaves.
+
+"Where is Wiggly?" Lily asked, worried.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe he crawled out of the bucket. Maybe he went to find another hole. Maybe he met another worm and made friends," Tom said, trying to cheer her up.
+
+"Or maybe he is dead," Lily said, sadly.
+
+"Dead? What does that mean?" Tom asked, confused.
+
+"Dead means he is not alive anymore. He does not move or breathe or eat. He is gone forever," Lily said, tears in her eyes.
+
+"Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't know that could happen. I thought worms lived forever," Tom said, hugging her.
+
+"Me too, Tom. Me too. I miss Wiggly. He was a good worm," Lily said, sobbing.
+
+Tom and Lily buried the bucket in the hole. They put some flowers and stones on top of it. They said goodbye to Wiggly and thanked him for being their friend. They held hands and walked back to the house.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. They saw some red things on the green plants. They were tomatoes.
+
+"Look, Ben, tomatoes!" Lily said. "Can we pick them?"
+
+"OK, but be careful. They are not toys. They are food," Ben said.
+
+They picked some tomatoes and put them in a basket. They were cold and wet. They felt nice in their hands.
+
+They took the basket to the porch. They saw a big chair with a soft blanket. It was their grandma's chair. She liked to rock in it and read books.
+
+"Can we sit in the chair, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"OK, but be quiet. Grandma is sleeping inside," Lily said.
+
+They climbed on the chair and covered themselves with the blanket. They held the tomatoes and rocked gently. They felt warm and cozy.
+
+They heard a voice from inside.
+
+"Who is rocking in my chair?" It was grandma. She came out and saw them.
+
+"Hello, grandma!" Lily and Ben said. "We picked some tomatoes for you. Do you want some?"
+
+Grandma smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Thank you, my dears. You are very sweet. But you know what? I have a better idea. Why don't we go inside and make some tomato soup? It will be yummy and warm."
+
+Lily and Ben liked that idea. They followed grandma inside with the basket. They were happy. They loved tomatoes and they loved grandma.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks. Sometimes they share their blocks and sometimes they want their own blocks.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks in their room. Sara wanted to build a big tower with all the red blocks. Ben wanted to build a car with all the blue blocks. They did not want to share their blocks. They started to argue and pull the blocks from each other.
+
+"Give me the red block!" Sara said.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said.
+
+They pulled harder and harder until the blocks flew out of their hands. The blocks scatter all over the room. They hit the walls, the bed, the dresser and the floor. Some blocks even hit Sara and Ben. They both cried out loud.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the blocks everywhere and the messy room. She saw Sara and Ben crying and holding their heads.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Sara and Ben did not share their blocks. They fought and scatter the blocks." Mom said.
+
+"That's not nice. You should share your toys and play nicely. Look at the land. It's full of blocks. You need to clean up this mess." Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and to Mom. They hugged and kissed. They picked up the blocks and put them back in the box. They decided to share their blocks and build something together. They built a big house with a car and a tower. They were happy and Mom was proud.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the lake with their mom and dad. The lake is big and blue. It has fish and ducks.
+
+Lily and Tom see a boat on the lake. The boat has a rope. The rope is long and soft. Lily and Tom want to touch the rope. They ask their mom and dad.
+
+"Can we pull the rope?" Lily says.
+
+"Be careful," mom says. "The rope is for the boat. Don't pull too hard."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They walk to the rope. They take turns to pull the rope. The rope is fun. It makes the boat move.
+
+"Look, the boat is coming to us!" Tom says.
+
+He pulls the rope harder. The boat comes closer. But the boat is too big. It bumps into the shore. The boat makes a loud noise. The fish and ducks swim away.
+
+"Oops," Tom says.
+
+Lily and Tom let go of the rope. They run back to their mom and dad. They are sorry. They did not mean to scare the fish and ducks.
+
+"Sorry, mom and dad," Lily says.
+
+"Sorry, boat," Tom says.
+
+Mom and dad hug them. They are not angry. They know Lily and Tom are curious. They teach them how to be gentle with the rope and the boat. They also teach them how to feed the fish and ducks. Lily and Tom learn a lot. They have fun at the lake.
+Tom and Lily were at the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But they also liked to look at the big pond, where there were many ducks and fish.
+
+One day, they saw a new duck on the pond. It was white and had a shiny red band around its neck. It looked very pretty and expensive. Tom and Lily wanted to touch it and feed it some bread.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the pond?" they asked.
+
+"Okay, but be careful and don't go too close to the water," mom said. She sat on a bench and watched them.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the pond and threw some bread crumbs to the ducks. The white duck came closer and closer, until it was right in front of them. Tom reached out his hand to pet it, but the duck bit his finger.
+
+"Ow!" Tom cried. "Bad duck!"
+
+Lily laughed. She thought it was funny. She tried to grab the red band from the duck's neck, but the duck snapped at her too.
+
+"Hey!" Lily said. "Let go!"
+
+The duck did not let go. It pulled and pulled, until the band broke off. Then it quickly swam away with the band in its mouth.
+
+"Mom, mom!" Tom and Lily shouted. "The duck took the band!"
+
+Mom looked up and saw the duck escape with the expensive band. She was surprised and angry.
+
+"Come here, you two!" she said. "That was not a duck, that was a swan! And that was not a band, that was a ring! A very expensive ring that someone lost in the pond! How could you be so naughty and try to take it?"
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry and scared. They ran back to mom and hugged her.
+
+"We're sorry, mom," they said. "We didn't know. We just wanted to play with the duck."
+
+Mom sighed and kissed them.
+
+"I know, I know," she said. "But you have to be more careful and respectful of other people's things. And of animals too. They don't like to be bothered or hurt. Now let's go home and have some ice cream. And maybe next time we can find a real duck to feed."
+Anna was very happy. Today was her birthday and she was going to have a party. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She helped her mom make a big cake with candles and sprinkles. She could not wait for her friends to come.
+
+Soon, the doorbell rang. Anna ran to open it. She saw Lily, Ben, and Sam. They had gifts for her. They said, "Happy birthday, Anna!" Anna smiled and said, "Thank you! Come in, come in!" She took them to the living room, where there were balloons, streamers, and toys.
+
+They played games, sang songs, and ate cake. Anna blew out the candles and made a wish. She opened her gifts and hugged her friends. She got a doll, a book, and a puzzle. She was very happy. She said, "This is the best party ever! You are the best friends ever!"
+
+Her mom took a picture of them. She said, "You are right, Anna. This is an incredible party. You are an incredible girl. I love you very much." Anna hugged her mom and said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for everything."
+

+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a teddy, a ball and a spoon. The spoon was her favorite. She used it to pretend to cook, to dig, to make music and to feed her doll.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought her spoon with her. She wanted to play in the sand. She made a big hill with the spoon and put her teddy on top. She was very happy.
+
+But then, a big dog came. The dog was brown and furry. He saw the teddy and wanted to play with it. He ran to the hill and grabbed the teddy with his mouth. He shook it and ran away.
+
+Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She wanted her teddy back. She looked at her mom and said, "Mom, help me! The dog took my teddy!"
+
+Her mom saw the dog and ran after him. She called him and said, "Hey, dog, stop! Give me the teddy!" The dog did not listen. He kept running and playing with the teddy.
+
+Lily did not give up. She took her spoon and ran after the dog too. She waved her spoon and said, "Dog, drop my teddy! This is my spoon! It is very sharp and shiny! You don't want to mess with my spoon!"
+
+The dog heard Lily and saw her spoon. He was scared of the spoon. He thought it was a weapon. He dropped the teddy and ran away.
+
+Lily picked up her teddy and hugged it. She was very happy. She thanked her mom and said, "Mom, you are the best! You helped me save my teddy!"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You are the best too, Lily! You were very brave and smart! You used your spoon to save your teddy!"
+
+Lily and her mom went back to the sand. They played with the teddy and the spoon. They had a lot of fun. Lily loved her spoon. She said, "Spoon, you are my hero!"
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new girl on the swings. She has long hair and a red dress.
+
+"Who is she?" Lila asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go and say hello," Ben says.
+
+They walk to the swings and smile at the new girl.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lila and this is Ben. What's your name?" Lila says.
+
+"Hi, I'm Mia. I just moved here with my mom and dad," Mia says.
+
+"Nice to meet you, Mia. Do you want to play with us?" Ben says.
+
+"Sure, I like to play. What do you like to play?" Mia says.
+
+"We like to play tag and hide and seek and make sand castles," Lila says.
+
+"Me too. That sounds fun," Mia says.
+
+They run and play together until it is time to go home. Mia's mom comes to pick her up. She has a bag of pastries in her hand.
+
+"These are for you and your friends, Mia. They are from the bakery near our new house. They are very yummy," Mia's mom says.
+
+"Thank you, mom. Can I introduce you to my new friends?" Mia says.
+
+"Of course, dear. Hello, Lila and Ben. I'm Mia's mom. It's nice to meet you," Mia's mom says.
+
+"Hello, Mia's mom. Thank you for the pastries. They look delicious," Lila and Ben say.
+
+They each take a pastry and bite into it. They are sweet and soft and have chocolate and cream inside.
+
+"Mmm, these are the best pastries ever," Lila says.
+

+
+They all laugh and hug and say goodbye. Lila and Ben go home with their moms and dads. They are happy to have a new friend and a new treat. They can't wait to play with Mia again.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One morning, they wanted to have toast for breakfast, but there was only one slice of bread left. They both reached for it at the same time and started to pull.
+
+"Mine!" Ben shouted.
+
+"No, mine!" Lily yelled.
+
+They pulled harder and harder until the bread tore in half. They each got a small piece of toast, but they were not happy. They glared at each other and ate their toast in silence.
+
+After breakfast, they went to their room to play with their toys. But they did not want to share anything. Ben took all the cars and Lily took all the dolls. They stayed on opposite sides of the room and did not talk to each other.
+
+Soon, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big truck with a scary face on it. It was making a lot of noise and smoke. They felt afraid and ran to each other.
+
+"What is that?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know, but it's scary!" Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and felt better. They realized that they were being silly and that they loved each other more than toast.
+
+"I'm sorry I took your toast," Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry I yelled at you," Lily said.
+
+They smiled and said, "I forgive you."
+
+They decided to play together and share their toys. They had fun and forgot about the scary truck. They learned that toast is good, but love is better.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a bird on the ground. The bird does not move or sing.
+
+"Oh no, the bird is hurt!" Anna says. She picks up the bird and holds it in her hands.
+
+"Maybe we can help the bird," Ben says. He looks around and sees a small house. "Look, there is a vet. A vet is a person who helps animals. Let's go to the vet."
+
+Anna and Ben run to the small house. They knock on the door. A woman opens the door. She has a white coat and a stethoscope.
+
+"Hello, children. What can I do for you?" the woman asks.
+
+"Please, can you help our bird?" Anna says. She shows the woman the bird.
+
+The woman smiles and takes the bird. She examines the bird with her stethoscope and her eyes.
+
+"Don't worry, children. The bird is not hurt. The bird is just deaf. Deaf means the bird cannot hear. That's why the bird does not sing or fly. But I have something that can help the bird. It is a hearing aid. A hearing aid is a small thing that goes in the ear and makes sounds louder."
+
+The woman puts a hearing aid in the bird's ear. She whispers something to the bird. The bird opens its eyes and flaps its wings. The bird sings a beautiful song.
+
+"Wow, the bird can hear and sing!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, the hearing aid restored the bird's hearing. Restore means to make something work again. The bird is happy now. You can take the bird back to the park and let it go," the woman says.
+
+"Thank you, vet. You are very kind," Anna says.
+
+Anna and Ben hug the woman and the bird. They run back to the park and let the bird go. The bird flies away and sings. Anna and Ben wave goodbye to the bird. They are happy too. They learned a new word and helped a friend.

+
+"Hello, I am Polly. I am a rare bird. Do you want to be my friends?" the bird says.
+
+"Yes, we do!" Lila and Sam say. They are very happy. They hug the bird and give it some seeds.
+
+"Thank you. You are very kind. Can I sing a song for you?" the bird asks.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lila and Sam say. They love songs.
+
+The bird sings a beautiful song. It sounds like a rainbow. Lila and Sam clap their hands and join in.
+
+"That was a wonderful song. You are very talented," Lila says.
+
+"Thank you. You have nice voices too. Can I ask you something?" the bird says.
+
+"Sure, what is it?" Sam says.
+
+"I need a favor. Can you help me?" the bird says.
+
+"What do you need?" Lila and Sam say.
+
+"I need to find my family. They are in the forest. I got lost and ended up here. Can you take me to the forest?" the bird says.
+
+Lila and Sam look at each other. They are sad. They don't want to lose their new friend. But they also want to help the bird.
+
+"OK, we will help you. But promise us you will come back and visit us," Lila says.
+
+"I promise. You are my friends. I will never forget you," the bird says.
+
+Lila and Sam take the bird to the forest. They see many other birds like Polly. They are happy to see her.
+
+"Thank you, Lila and Sam. You are the best. Here, take this feather. It is a rare gift. It will remind you of me and my song," Polly says.
+
+She gives them a feather. It is shiny and colorful. Lila and Sam smile. They hug Polly and say goodbye.
+
+They go back to their room. They put the feather on their wall. They look at it and remember Polly. They sing her song. They are happy. They have a rare friend.
+Lily and Max liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big box near the fence. It was brown and had a lock on it.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a safe. Maybe it has money or toys inside," Max said.
+
+They went to the box and tried to open it. But it was too hard. They pushed and pulled, but nothing happened.
+
+"Let's break it," Max said. He found a big stick and hit the box. Bang! Bang! Bang!
+
+Lily was worried. She looked around and saw a man walking towards them. He had a hat and a coat. He looked angry.
+
+"Stop! That is my safe! What are you doing?" he shouted.
+
+Lily and Max were scared. They dropped the stick and ran away. They did not look back. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench.
+
+"Mom, Dad, we are sorry. We did something bad," Lily said.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom asked.
+
+"We tried to break a safe. But it was not ours. It was a man's safe. He was mad at us," Max said.
+
+Mom and Dad were not happy. They took Lily and Max to the man. They said sorry to him and gave him some money. They said they would pay for the damage. The man was still angry, but he accepted the money. He said he would not call the police.
+
+Lily and Max learned a lesson. They learned not to touch things that are not theirs. They learned not to break things that are not theirs. They learned to be careful and respectful. They hugged Mom and Dad and said sorry again. They promised to be good. They never played with the safe again.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. But Tim was scared. He looked at the slide and said, "No, no, no. Too high, too fast. I don't want to slide."
+
+Lily was not scared. She had slid many times before. She said, "Come on, Tim. You can do it. It's fun. I will help you. You have strong muscles. You are brave. You just need to try."
+
+Tim shook his head. He said, "No, no, no. I can't do it. I will fall. I will hurt. I will cry."
+
+Lily did not give up. She said, "Tim, I am your friend. I will not let you fall. I will hold your hand. I will slide with you. We will laugh. We will be happy. Trust me. I encourage you."
+
+Tim looked at Lily. He saw her smile. He felt her hand. He heard her voice. He thought, "Maybe she is right. Maybe I can do it. Maybe it's not so bad." He said, "Okay, Lily. I will try. But you have to stay with me. Don't leave me alone."
+
+Lily said, "Of course, Tim. I will stay with you. We are friends. We stick together. Come on, let's go."
+
+They climbed the stairs. They reached the top. They sat on the slide. They held hands. They looked down. They saw the grass. They saw the sun. They saw the other kids. They said, "One, two, three, go!"
+
+They slid down. They felt the wind. They felt the thrill. They felt the joy. They shouted, "Whee! This is fun!"
+
+They landed on the ground. They let go of their hands. They looked at each other. They smiled. They hugged. They said, "We did it! We did it! We are awesome!"
+
+They heard a voice. It was Ben. He was a mean kid. He always teased them. He said, "Ha, ha, ha. Look at you. You are so silly. You are so scared. You are so weak. You need to hold hands to slide. How disgusting. You are not awesome. You are losers."
+
+Tim and Lily felt angry. They felt sad. They felt hurt. They said, "No, Ben. You are wrong. You are mean. You are rude. You are disgusting. You don't know how to be a friend. You don't know how to encourage. You don't know how to have fun. You are the loser."
+
+They turned away from Ben. They ignored him. They walked to the swings. They pushed each other. They swung high. They laughed. They were happy. They were friends. They learned a lesson. They learned to encourage. They learned to try. They learned to slide.
+Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw many pigeons on the grass. Lily wanted to feed them some bread. She broke the bread into small pieces and threw them to the pigeons.
+
+"Look, Ben, the pigeons are eating the bread!" Lily said.
+
+Ben nodded. He liked the pigeons too. He wanted to touch one. He walked slowly to a pigeon that was near him. He reached out his hand to the pigeon.
+
+"Be careful, Ben, the pigeon might fly away," Mom said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He tried to grab the pigeon. The pigeon was scared. It flapped its wings and flew away. It also pooped on Ben's head.
+
+"Yuck, Ben, you are messy!" Lily said.
+
+Ben cried. He did not like the poop on his head. He ran to Mom. Mom wiped the poop off his head with a tissue. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben, the pigeon did not mean to poop on you. It was just scared. Next time, you can watch the pigeons from a distance, okay?"
+
+Ben nodded. He felt better. He said, "Sorry, pigeon, I did not mean to scare you."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Let's go to the swings, Ben. Maybe we can see more pigeons there."
+
+They went to the swings. They had fun. They saw more pigeons. They did not touch them. They said, "Hello, pigeons, we are your friends." The pigeons said, "Coo, coo, coo." They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom in the garden. One day, mom gave them a big ruler and a pair of scissors. She said, "You can measure and cut the prunes on the tree. They are too long and need to be shorter. But be careful and don't cut too much."
+
+Ben and Lily were happy and ran to the tree. They took turns to measure and cut the prunes. Ben said, "I can cut more than you. I am faster and stronger." Lily said, "No, you can't. You have to measure first and cut only a little bit. Mom said so."
+
+Ben did not listen to Lily. He cut the prunes very fast and very much. He wanted to show off. Lily tried to stop him, but he did not care. Soon, the tree had no more prunes left. It looked sad and bare.
+
+Mom came to see their work. She was not happy. She said, "Ben, what did you do? You cut all the prunes. Now the tree has no fruit and no leaves. It will be sick and cold. You did not measure and you did not listen. You were not careful and you were not kind."
+
+Ben felt bad. He saw that Lily was right. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I was too fast and too much. I did not measure and I did not listen. I was not careful and I was not kind."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay, Ben. You made a mistake, but you can learn from it. Next time, you have to measure and listen. You have to be careful and kind. Then you can help the tree and the prunes grow fine."
+
+Lily said, "I forgive you, Ben. You are my brother and I love you. We can help the tree and the prunes together. We can be careful and kind. Then we can have fun and be fine."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged each other and hugged mom. They learned a lesson. They learned to measure and listen. They learned to be careful and kind. They learned to help the tree and the prunes grow fine.
+Lila and Ben are friends who like to play on the farm. They like to run, jump and laugh with the animals. One day, they see a big sheep with rough wool. Lila wants to touch it, but Ben is afraid.
+
+"Don't touch it, Lila. It might bite you or kick you. It looks mean and scary," Ben tells Lila.
+
+Lila shakes her head. "No, Ben. It is just a sheep. It is not mean or scary. It is soft and warm. Come and touch it with me. You will see," Lila tells Ben.
+
+Lila walks slowly to the sheep and holds out her hand. The sheep looks at her and sniffs her hand. Then it lets Lila pet its wool. Lila smiles and giggles. "See, Ben? It is nice. It likes me. It is not rough. It is fluffy," Lila tells Ben.
+
+Ben watches Lila and the sheep. He feels curious and brave. He walks slowly to the sheep and holds out his hand. The sheep looks at him and sniffs his hand. Then it lets Ben pet its wool. Ben smiles and giggles. "You are right, Lila. It is nice. It likes me too. It is not rough. It is fluffy," Ben tells Lila.
+
+Lila and Ben hug the sheep and thank it for being their friend. They learn that things are not always what they seem. They learn to be kind and gentle to all animals. They learn to be brave and try new things. They have fun on the farm.
+Ben and Lily were outside with their dad, looking at the stars. They liked to see the bright dots in the dark sky. Sometimes they saw a star that moved very fast and left a long tail behind it. Dad said that was a comet.
+
+"Look, there's a comet!" Lily shouted, pointing at the sky. "It's so pretty!"
+
+Ben nodded. He wondered what a comet was made of. He asked his dad, "Dad, what is a comet?"
+
+Dad smiled and said, "A comet is a big ball of ice and dust that travels around the sun. Sometimes it comes close to the earth and we can see it."
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Ben said. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Dad, can we eat a comet?"
+
+Dad laughed and said, "No, we can't eat a comet. It's too cold and hard and far away. And it's not yummy at all."
+
+"Then what is yummy?" Lily asked.
+
+Dad said, "Well, I have a surprise for you. I made some cookies for you. They are in the kitchen. Do you want to go and get them?"
+
+Ben and Lily cheered and ran to the kitchen. They loved cookies. They guessed they were chocolate chip cookies, their favorite kind. They were right. They took a big bite and said, "Mmm, these are yummy!"
+
+Dad hugged them and said, "I'm glad you like them. You are my yummy cookies."
+Tom and Ann are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog. But they do not like to help Mom and Dad with the chores. They think chores are boring and hard.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad have to go out for a while. They tell Tom and Ann to be good and do some chores. They say, "Tom, you feed the dog and fill his water bowl. Ann, you mop the kitchen floor and wipe the table. We will be back soon."
+
+Tom and Ann nod, but they do not listen. As soon as Mom and Dad leave, they forget about the chores. They play with their toys and their dog. They make a lot of noise and mess. They do not feed the dog or mop the kitchen. They have fun, but they are naughty.
+
+After a while, the dog gets hungry and thirsty. He looks for his food and water, but he does not find them. He sees the toys and the mop on the floor. He thinks they are his toys. He grabs them and chews them. He tears them and makes them dirty. He does not know he is doing something bad.
+
+When Mom and Dad come back, they see the mess. They see the dog with the toys and the mop in his mouth. They see the kitchen floor and the table dirty. They are angry and sad. They say, "Tom and Ann, what have you done? You did not do your chores. You did not feed the dog. You did not mop the kitchen. You were not good. You were selfish and lazy. You made the dog unhappy and the house dirty. You have to learn to be responsible and helpful."
+
+Tom and Ann feel sorry and ashamed. They see the dog looking sad and the toys and the mop ruined. They see Mom and Dad looking disappointed and tired. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We were wrong. We did not listen to you. We did not care about the dog or the house. We only cared about ourselves. We will do better next time. We will do our chores and feed the dog and mop the kitchen. We will be good and helpful."
+
+Mom and Dad hug Tom and Ann. They say, "We forgive you, Tom and Ann. We love you. But you have to remember that chores are important and necessary. They keep the dog happy and the house clean. They also show that you respect and appreciate us. We are a family and we have to work together and help each other. That is the right thing to do."
+
+Tom and Ann nod and smile. They say, "We understand, Mom and Dad. We love you too. We will work together and help each other. We will do the right thing."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big white tent. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Can we enter the tent?" Tom asked Lily.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is not for us," Lily said.
+
+But they were very curious. They walked to the tent and opened the flap. They saw many incredible things. There were balloons, toys, books, and a big cake.
+
+"Wow! Look at all this!" Tom said.
+
+"Is it someone's birthday?" Lily wondered.
+
+Just then, a man came out of the tent. He had a red nose, a funny hat, and big shoes. He smiled at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Hello, little ones! Welcome to my tent! I am a clown, and I am here to make you laugh and have fun!" he said.
+
+"Really? Can we stay and play with you?" Tom asked.
+
+"Of course! You are my special guests! Come on in and join the party!" the clown said.
+
+Tom and Lily entered the tent. They were very happy. They had found a wonderful surprise in the park.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with crayons. They had many colors and they made marks on paper, on the wall, on the floor, and sometimes on their clothes. Mom and Dad were not happy when they saw the marks, but they loved Tom and Lily very much.
+
+One day, it was Mom's birthday. Tom and Lily wanted to make her a card with their crayons. They found a big, wide paper and started to draw. Tom drew a cake with candles, and Lily drew a heart with Mom's name. They were very proud of their card.
+
+They went to the kitchen to show Mom their card, but they saw that she was busy making a real cake. She had put candles on the cake and lit them. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily, for your beautiful card. But please be careful with the candles. They are hot and can burn you or start a fire."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and put their card on the table. They wanted to help Mom with the cake, but they were too small. They decided to wait until she was done. They saw the candles on the cake and thought they looked pretty. They wondered what would happen if they made marks with the candles.
+
+They took a candle each and went to their room. They tried to make marks on the paper with the candles, but they did not work. They tried to make marks on the wall, but they only made black spots. They tried to make marks on the floor, but they only made holes. They were disappointed and bored.
+
+They did not notice that the candles were getting smaller and smaller, and that the wax was dripping on the floor. They did not notice that the wax was catching fire, and that the fire was spreading. They did not notice that the smoke was filling the room, and that the alarm was ringing.
+
+They only noticed when Mom and Dad came running to their room. They saw the fire and the smoke and the alarm. They were scared and sorry. Mom and Dad grabbed them and took them out of the room. They called the firemen and they put out the fire.
+
+Mom and Dad hugged Tom and Lily and said, "We are glad you are safe, but you were very naughty. You should never play with candles. They are not toys. They are dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or burned the house. You should always listen to us and do what we say."
+
+Tom and Lily cried and said, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We did not mean to start a fire. We just wanted to make marks with the candles. We will never play with candles again. We will only play with crayons. We love you, Mom and Dad."
+
+Mom and Dad kissed them and said, "We love you, too, Tom and Lily. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to be careful and responsible. You have to respect the things you have and the things you use. You have to think before you act. And you have to say sorry when you do something wrong."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, Mom and Dad. We will try to be better. We will try to make you happy. We will try to make good marks, not bad marks."
+
+The end.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play on the farm. One day, they saw a big mule in the barn. The mule had long ears and a brown coat. Ben and Sam wanted to ride the mule, but their mom said no. She said the mule was old and deaf and did not like children.
+
+But Ben and Sam did not listen to their mom. They waited until she was busy and sneaked into the barn. They climbed on the mule's back and tried to make him move. They pulled his ears and kicked his sides. But the mule did not move. He did not hear them or feel them. He just stood still and ate some hay.
+
+Then, the mule got angry. He felt a fly on his nose and shook his head. Ben and Sam lost their balance and fell off the mule. They landed on the hard floor and hurt themselves. They cried and cried. Their mom heard them and ran to the barn. She saw them on the floor and the mule in the corner. She was very mad and very sad.
+
+She picked up Ben and Sam and took them to the house. She cleaned their wounds and gave them some ice. She told them they were very naughty and very foolish. She said they could have been hurt worse by the mule. She said they should never go near the mule again. She said they should always listen to her and respect the animals.
+
+Ben and Sam felt very sorry and very ashamed. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They said they would never do it again. They said they loved her and the mule. They learned their lesson and regretted their mistake. They hoped the mule would forgive them too.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big bird with many colors on its wings. It was a rare bird that came from far away. Lily and Ben wanted to touch the bird and see how soft it was.
+
+They ran after the bird, but it flew away. They ran and ran, but they could not catch it. The bird landed on a high tree and looked at them. Lily and Ben stopped and looked back. They saw their mom waving at them. She was angry.
+
+"Come back here, now!" she shouted. "You can't run away from me like that! The bird is not for you to touch. It is wild and scared. You could hurt it or get hurt. You have to be careful and listen to me."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to make their mom or the bird angry. They ran back to their mom and hugged her. She hugged them back and smiled.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," they said. "We just wanted to see the bird. It was so pretty and rare."
+
+"I know, my loves," she said. "But you have to respect the bird and its space. Maybe we can look at it from here, with these binoculars. Then we can learn more about it and why it is rare. Would you like that?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They took the binoculars and looked at the bird. It was still on the tree, but it seemed more calm. It sang a beautiful song that made them happy. They learned that the bird was called a rainbow lorikeet and that it liked to eat fruits and flowers. They thanked their mom for teaching them and for being kind. They also thanked the bird for sharing its colors and song with them. They hoped to see it again someday.
+Lily and Tom love to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make them speed on the floor and make loud noises. Vroom, vroom, vroom!
+
+One day, they find a new car in the toy box. It is enormous. It is bigger than all the other cars. It is red and shiny and has four big wheels. Lily and Tom are very happy. They want to play with the enormous car.
+
+They take turns to push the car on the floor. It is very fast. It can speed across the room in a second. It can go over the rug and the books and the blocks. It can make louder noises than the other cars. Beep, beep, beep!
+
+But then, something bad happens. The car hits the wall and breaks. One of the wheels falls off. The car stops moving. Lily and Tom are very sad. They cry and cry. They want the car to work again.
+
+Mom hears them crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the wheel. She hugs Lily and Tom and says a word. The word is "sorry". She says she is sorry that the car is broken. She says she will try to fix it. She says they can play with the other cars until then.
+
+Lily and Tom stop crying. They say a word too. The word is "thank you". They thank Mom for being nice. They hug Mom and say they love her. They go back to play with the other cars. They are still happy. They hope the enormous car will work again soon.
+Lily liked to record her voice. She had a little recorder that her dad gave her. She pressed a button and said, "Hello, I am Lily. I like to sing and play." Then she pressed another button and heard her voice. She smiled and clapped.
+
+She wanted to share her voice with her mom. She ran to the living room, where her mom was reading a book. She said, "Mom, listen to this!" She pressed the button and played her voice. Her mom looked up and smiled. She said, "That's very nice, Lily. You have a sweet voice."
+
+Lily felt happy. She said, "Thank you, mom. Can I record you too?" Her mom nodded and took the recorder. She pressed the button and said, "Hello, I am mom. I love you, Lily. You are a good girl." Then she pressed another button and played her voice. Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you too, mom. You are the best."
+
+They decided to record more voices. They went to the kitchen, where her brother was eating a cookie. They said, "Hello, we are Lily and mom. We are recording voices. Can we record you too?" Her brother nodded and took the recorder. He pressed the button and said, "Hello, I am Ben. I like cookies and cars." Then he pressed another button and played his voice. They all laughed and said, "That's very funny, Ben. You have a loud voice."
+
+They had fun recording voices. They recorded the dog, the cat, the bird, and the clock. They made a lot of sounds and noises. They played them on the recorder and on the player. The player was a big machine that played music and stories. They danced and sang and listened. They had a great time.
+Sara and Tom liked to play in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to make a sand castle. They dug and dug and filled the bucket with sand. Then they turned the bucket over and lifted it up. A sand tower came out. They smiled and clapped.
+
+"Look, we made a castle!" Sara said.
+
+"Let's make more!" Tom said.
+
+They dug and dug and filled the bucket again. They turned the bucket over and lifted it up. Another sand tower came out. They put it next to the first one. They dug and dug and filled the bucket again. They turned the bucket over and lifted it up. A third sand tower came out. They put it next to the other two. They dug and dug and filled the bucket again.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It ran towards them. It barked and barked. It wanted to play. But Sara and Tom did not want to play with the big dog. They were frightened. They dropped the bucket and ran away. The big dog chased them. It jumped on the sand castle. It knocked down the sand towers. It dug and dug and made a mess.
+
+Sara and Tom ran to their mom. They hugged her and cried.
+
+"Mom, mom, the big dog ruined our sand castle!" Sara said.
+
+"Mom, mom, the big dog scared us!" Tom said.
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed them. She said, "It's okay, it's okay. The big dog did not mean to be bad. He just wanted to have fun. But he did not know how to play nice. I'm sorry he made you sad and scared. But you can make another sand castle. And maybe you can find a nice dog to play with. Do you want to try again?"
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They wiped their tears and smiled. They took their bucket and shovel and went back to the sand. They dug and dug and filled the bucket with sand. They turned the bucket over and lifted it up. A sand tower came out. They smiled and clapped.
+
+They saw a small dog. It wagged its tail. It looked friendly. It came to them and licked their hands. It did not bark or jump. It sat and watched them make their sand castle. Sara and Tom liked the small dog. They petted it and gave it a name.
+
+"Look, we made a new friend!" Sara said.
+
+"Let's call him Spot!" Tom said.
+
+They played and played and had fun. They made a big sand castle. They shared their bucket and shovel with Spot. They were happy.
+Jenny loved to sing. She sang all the time, in the car, in the bath, in her bed. She wanted to be a star. She asked her mom for a microphone for her birthday. Mom said maybe.
+
+On her birthday, Jenny woke up early. She ran to the living room. She saw a big box with a bow. She opened it. It was a microphone! She was so happy. She hugged her mom and said thank you.
+
+She spent the whole day singing with her microphone. She sang her favorite songs. She made up new songs. She sang to her toys, to her mom, to her dog. She felt like a star.
+
+Mom said she had a surprise for Jenny. She took her to the park. There was a stage. There were many people. Mom said Jenny could sing on the stage. Jenny was scared. She said she was too small. Mom said she was brilliant. She said she was proud of her.

+Jenny took her microphone. She walked to the stage. She saw the people. They smiled at her. She felt brave. She sang her best song. She sang with all her heart. The people clapped. They cheered. They loved her. Jenny smiled. She was a star.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were friends and had adventures together. But then a big boy came and took Anna's doll. He said it was his and ran away.
+
+Anna was very sad and cried. Ben was angry and wanted to get the doll back. He followed the big boy and saw him hiding behind a tree. Ben had an idea. He found a stick and threw it at the big boy. The big boy was scared and dropped the doll.
+
+Ben ran and picked up the doll. He gave it back to Anna and said, "Here, Anna, I got your doll. Don't cry, she is okay." Anna smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend. I'm sorry you had to fight the big boy."
+
+The big boy was miserable. He wanted the doll, but he knew he was wrong to take it. He felt lonely and wished he had a friend to play with. He saw Ben and Anna playing happily with their dolls. He wanted to join them, but he was afraid they would be mad at him.
+
+He decided to try. He walked slowly to Ben and Anna and said, "Hi, I'm sorry I took your doll. I was mean and stupid. Can I play with you?" Ben and Anna looked at him. They were surprised, but they were also kind. They said, "Okay, you can play with us, but you have to be nice and share."
+
+The big boy smiled and nodded. He said, "Thank you, I will be nice and share. I'm sorry again." He took out his own doll and showed it to Ben and Anna. It was a funny doll with a big nose and a hat. He said, "This is my doll. His name is Bob. He can do a trick. Watch." He made the doll appear to wink by moving its eye. Ben and Anna laughed and clapped. They said, "That's a cool trick. Can you teach us?" The big boy said, "Sure, I can teach you. It's easy. Come, let's play." And they all played together and became friends.
+Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the farm. The farm had many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. Tom and Sue liked to feed the sheep. The sheep were soft and white.
+
+One day, Tom and Sue saw a big truck arrive at the farm. The truck had a tall man inside. The tall man came out of the truck and talked to the farmer. Tom and Sue heard the tall man say he wanted to buy some sheep. Tom and Sue felt sad. They did not want the sheep to go away.
+
+Tom and Sue ran to the sheep pen. They hugged their favorite sheep. They named their favorite sheep Fluffy. Fluffy was the biggest and fluffiest sheep of all. Tom and Sue told Fluffy they loved him and they would miss him.
+
+The tall man came to the sheep pen. He looked at the sheep. He pointed at Fluffy. He said he wanted Fluffy. The farmer nodded. The tall man grabbed Fluffy by the wool and dragged him to the truck. Fluffy bleated and struggled. Tom and Sue cried and shouted. They tried to stop the tall man.
+
+But the tall man was too strong. He threw Fluffy into the truck and closed the door. He got into the truck and drove away. Tom and Sue ran after the truck. They waved and called Fluffy's name. But the truck was too fast. It disappeared in the dust.
+
+Tom and Sue fell to the ground. They sobbed and hugged each other. They felt very sad and angry. They wished they could see Fluffy again. They wished the tall man would bring Fluffy back. They wished the tall man would never arrive at the farm.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were animals. Lily was a cat and Ben was a dog. They chased each other and made funny noises.
+
+"Meow, meow, I am a cat. I have sharp claws and I can scratch you," Lily said.
+
+"Woof, woof, I am a dog. I have sharp teeth and I can bite you," Ben said.
+
+They ran around the sofa and the table. They saw a fan on the shelf. The fan was big and round. It had blades that spun fast and made wind.
+
+"Look, a fan. Let's play with it," Lily said.
+
+She jumped on the shelf and tried to touch the fan. But the fan was too high for her. She stretched her paw and felt the wind.
+
+"Be careful, Lily. The fan is sharp. It can hurt you," Ben said.
+
+He barked and wagged his tail. He wanted to help Lily. He jumped on the sofa and then on the table. He was a fat dog and he made the table shake.
+
+"Ben, stop. You are too fat. You will break the table," Lily said.
+
+She saw Ben coming closer to the fan. She was scared for him. She meowed and hissed.
+
+But it was too late. Ben reached the fan and tried to bite it. The fan was sharp and it cut his nose. Ben yelped and fell off the table. He was bleeding and crying.
+
+Lily jumped off the shelf and ran to Ben. She licked his nose and cuddled him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong. The fan is not a toy. It is sharp and dangerous," Lily said.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I was silly. I should have listened to you. The fan is not a food. It is sharp and nasty," Ben said.
+
+They hugged each other and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played with the fan again. They played with their toys and their mom. They were happy and safe.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to visit their grandma every week. Grandma lived in a small house with a big garden, where she grew flowers and vegetables. She always had a package for them, with cookies, books, or toys.
+
+One day, when Tom and Lily went to visit grandma, they saw that she looked troubled. She had a sad face and a bandage on her arm. They asked her what happened.
+
+"Grandma, why are you troubled?" Lily said.
+
+"I had a fall in the garden, my dears. I hurt my arm and my knee. But don't worry, the doctor came and gave me some medicine. I will be better soon." Grandma said.
+
+"Can we help you, grandma?" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, you can, my dears. You can help me water the flowers and pick some vegetables. And you can give me a big hug and a kiss. That will make me happy." Grandma said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They helped grandma with the garden and gave her a package they made for her. It had a drawing, a card, and a necklace they made with beads. Grandma thanked them and hugged them.
+
+"You are the best twins in the world, my dears. You always make me happy. I love you very much." Grandma said.
+
+"We love you too, grandma. You are the best grandma in the world." Tom and Lily said.
+Anna likes to skip. She skips in the park, she skips in the yard, she skips in the house. She skips with her friends, she skips with her dog, she skips with her mom. Skipping makes her happy and warm.
+
+One day, Anna skips too fast. She trips on a rock and falls down. She hurts her knee and her thumb. She cries and cries. Her mom runs to her and hugs her. She says, "It's okay, Anna. You are brave and strong. Let me see your thumb and your knee."
+
+Mom looks at Anna's thumb and knee. She says, "They are not bad. Just a little red and sore. I have a band-aid and some ice. They will make you feel better." She puts a band-aid on Anna's thumb and wraps some ice in a cloth. She puts the cloth on Anna's knee. She kisses Anna's thumb and knee.
+
+Anna stops crying. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are kind and sweet. I love you." She hugs her mom. Mom says, "I love you too, Anna. You are my precious girl. Do you want to skip some more?" Anna says, "Yes, mom. But not too fast. I don't want to fall again."
+
+Mom and Anna hold hands and skip together. They skip in the park, they skip in the yard, they skip in the house. They skip with their friends, they skip with their dog, they skip with their dad. Skipping makes them happy and warm. They feel peaceful and safe.
+Anna and Ben were twins, but they were very different. Anna liked to play with dolls and draw pictures. Ben liked to run and jump and make noise. One day, they went to visit their grandma, who lived in a big house with a garden. Grandma had a cane, because her leg hurt sometimes.
+
+"Hello, my darlings," Grandma said, hugging them. "Do you want some cookies and milk?"
+
+"Yes, please," Anna said politely. Ben nodded, but he was looking around for something more fun.
+
+Grandma gave them a plate of cookies and a glass of milk each, and told them to sit on the couch and watch some cartoons. Anna was happy, but Ben was bored. He saw Grandma's cane leaning against the wall, and he had an idea.
+
+He grabbed the cane and ran outside, pretending it was a sword. He swung it around, making loud noises. He felt very brave and unique.
+
+"Ben, come back here!" Anna called, following him. "That's Grandma's cane, you can't take it!"
+
+But Ben didn't listen. He ran to the garden, where there were many flowers and bees. He tried to hit the flowers with the cane, but he missed and hit a bee instead. The bee was angry, and it stung Ben on his nose.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben screamed, dropping the cane and holding his nose. He ran back to the house, crying.
+
+Anna picked up the cane and brought it to Grandma, who was worried. She saw Ben's red nose and gave him some ice and a hug.
+
+"I'm sorry, Grandma," Ben sobbed. "I was just playing with your cane."
+
+"I know, Ben, but you have to be careful," Grandma said. "My cane is not a toy, it helps me walk. And you have to be nice to the flowers and the bees, they are living things too. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, Grandma," Ben said, nodding. He felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+Anna smiled and gave him a cookie. She was glad he was okay. She thought he was unique, but sometimes he was silly too.
+Tom and Mia are at the zoo with Mom and Dad. They like to see the animals and learn their names. They see lions, monkeys, elephants and more. They are very happy.
+
+They come to the hippo pool. The hippos are big and gray. They have big mouths and teeth. They swim in the water and make noises. Tom and Mia watch the hippos and say, "Wow!"
+
+But the water is icy today. It is very cold outside. The hippos shiver and sneeze. They do not like the icy water. They want to be warm and cozy.
+
+One hippo says to another hippo, "Brrr! I am cold. I wish we had a blanket."
+
+The other hippo says, "Me too. I wish we had a fire."
+
+Tom and Mia hear the hippos talk. They feel sorry for them. They want to help them.
+
+They ask Mom and Dad, "Can we give the hippos a blanket and a fire?"
+
+Mom and Dad smile and say, "No, we can't. The hippos are fine. They have thick skin and fat. They can stay warm. The icy water is good for them. It keeps them clean and healthy."
+
+Tom and Mia nod and say, "Oh, I see. The hippos are fine. The icy water is good for them."
+
+They watch the hippos some more. They see them splash and play. They see them yawn and sleep. They think the hippos are funny and cute. They say, "Bye, hippos!" and wave. They go to see other animals. They have a fun day at the zoo.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the sandbox. They had a big jug of water to make sandcastles. Anna wanted to make a big castle with a moat and a bridge. Ben wanted to make a small castle with a flag and a door.
+
+"Can I have some water, please?" Ben asked Anna. He held out his bucket.
+
+"No, you can't," Anna said. She was selfish. She wanted to keep all the water for herself. "This is my jug. Go find your own water."
+
+"But there is no other water," Ben said. He looked around. The sandbox was dry. The tap was far away. He felt sad.
+
+"That's not my problem," Anna said. She poured more water on her castle. She smiled.
+
+Ben did not like Anna. He thought she was mean. He had an idea. He waited until Anna was not looking. Then he took the jug and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Anna shouted. She saw Ben running with her jug. She was angry. She chased him.
+
+Ben ran to the slide. He climbed up the ladder. He reached the top. He poured the water down the slide. He laughed.
+
+Anna followed him. She saw the water on the slide. She slipped. She fell. She got wet. She cried.
+
+Ben felt sorry for Anna. He realized he was not nice. He went to help her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. He gave her the jug. "I should not have taken your jug. That was wrong."
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Ben," Anna said. She took the jug. "I should not have been selfish. That was not fair."
+
+They hugged. They became friends. They decided to share the water. They made a big castle together. They had fun.
+Anna was a charming girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Lily. Lily had a pink dress, blue eyes and long hair. Anna always took Lily with her when she went out.
+
+One day, Anna and her mom went to the park. Anna brought Lily in her pocket. She wanted to show Lily the flowers, the birds and the swings. She was very happy.
+
+"Look, Lily, this is a rose. It smells nice. Do you like it?" Anna said to her doll.
+
+"Yes, I do. You are very kind, Anna. I love you," Lily said in a small voice.
+
+Anna smiled and hugged Lily. She did not know that Lily could talk. She thought it was a magic.
+
+But then, a big boy came and saw Anna and Lily. He wanted to have Lily. He ran to Anna and grabbed Lily from her pocket.
+
+"Hey, this is my doll. Give it back!" Anna shouted.
+
+"No, it is mine now. It is a pretty doll. I want it," the boy said.
+
+He ran away with Lily. Anna was very sad. She cried and ran to her mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, the boy took Lily. He stole my doll. I want Lily back," Anna sobbed.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Anna. We will find Lily. The boy was very naughty. He should not take things that are not his."
+
+They looked for the boy and Lily in the park. They asked other people if they saw them. They searched everywhere. But they could not find them.
+
+Anna felt hopeless. She missed Lily so much. She wished she could hear her voice again.
+
+Then, she heard a familiar sound. It was Lily. She was calling her name.
+
+"Anna, Anna, where are you? I miss you. I want to be with you," Lily said.
+
+Anna followed the sound. She saw Lily on a bench. The boy had left her there. He did not like Lily after all. He thought she was a scary doll. He ran away from her.
+
+Anna ran to Lily and picked her up. She was so happy.
+
+"Lily, Lily, you are here. I found you. I love you," Anna said.
+
+"I love you too, Anna. You are my best friend. I am sorry the boy took me. He was mean," Lily said.
+
+Anna kissed Lily and put her back in her pocket. She thanked her mom for helping her. They went home together.
+
+Anna and Lily were charming and happy again. They never parted again. They were magic.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. They see a big green hill. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+They ask their moms if they can go. Their moms say yes, but they have to be careful and come back soon. They provide them with water and snacks. Tom and Sue are happy. They say thank you and run to the hill.
+
+They climb up the hill. It is hard and steep. They get tired and thirsty. They drink some water and eat some snacks. They feel better. They reach the top of the hill. They look at the other side. They see a big lake. It is blue and shiny. They want to go to the lake and swim.
+
+They run down the hill. It is fast and fun. They laugh and shout. They do not see the sign. The sign says "Danger. Do not swim. Crocodiles." They do not know what crocodiles are. They think they are big fish.
+
+They reach the lake. They take off their shoes and socks. They jump into the water. They splash and kick. They do not hear the growl. They do not see the teeth. They do not feel the bite. They are gone. The crocodiles are full. The moms are sad. The end.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today is a special day. It is their birthday. Mom and Dad have a big surprise for them.
+
+After dinner, Mom and Dad say, "Come to the living room, Tom and Lily. We have something for you." Tom and Lily run to the living room. They see a big box with a bow on it. It is wrapped in shiny paper.
+
+"What is it?" Tom asks.
+
+"Can we open it?" Lily asks.
+
+Mom and Dad smile. "Yes, you can. It is your birthday present. We hope you like it."
+
+Tom and Lily tear the paper off the box. They open it and see a big tent. It is blue and yellow. It has a door and a window. It is for camping.
+
+"Wow!" Tom and Lily say. "A tent! Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
+
+"You're welcome, Tom and Lily. We are happy you like it. Do you want to try it out?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, yes!" Tom and Lily say. They take the tent out of the box and set it up in the living room. They crawl inside and pretend they are camping. They have flashlights and blankets and pillows. They tell stories and sing songs.
+
+Mom and Dad watch them and laugh. They are proud of their twins. They are smart and kind and brave. They hug them and say, "Happy birthday, Tom and Lily. We love you very much."
+
+Tom and Lily hug them back and say, "We love you too, Mom and Dad. This is the best birthday ever." They stay in the tent until it is time for bed. They are happy and sleepy. They have had a hard but fun day. They dream of camping in the woods.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, who had a pink dress and long hair. Lily always took Anna with her when she went to bed.
+
+One night, Lily heard a loud noise outside her window. She was scared and hugged Anna tight. She saw a big truck with bright lights and a loud horn. The truck stopped in front of her house and a woman came out. The woman had a bag and a coat. She looked sad and cold.
+
+Lily ran to her mom and dad, who were in the living room. "Mom, dad, who is that woman?" she asked.
+
+Her mom and dad looked out the window and saw the woman. They told Lily that the woman was a helper who came to their house to do some work. They said that the woman had no home and no family, and that she slept in her truck.
+
+Lily felt sorry for the woman. She wanted to help her. She asked her mom and dad if they could let the woman sleep in their house. Her mom and dad said that they could not, because they did not know the woman and they had to be careful.
+
+Lily did not understand. She thought that the woman was nice and needed a place to sleep. She said, "But mom, dad, she is sleepy and cold. Can we not share our home with her? God wants us to be kind to others, right?"
+
+Her mom and dad looked at each other and smiled. They were proud of Lily for being so caring and brave. They said, "You are right, Lily. God wants us to be kind to others. And sometimes, we have to trust God and take a risk. Come on, let's go talk to the woman and see if she wants to sleep in our guest room."
+
+Lily was happy and excited. She took Anna with her and followed her mom and dad outside. They greeted the woman and invited her to their house. The woman was surprised and grateful. She thanked them and accepted their offer.
+
+Lily showed the woman her room and gave her a blanket and a pillow. She also gave her Anna to keep her company. The woman hugged Lily and said, "You are a very sweet and generous girl. Thank you for sharing your doll and your home with me. God bless you and your family."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome. I am glad you are here. I will pray for you and your family, too. Maybe God will help you find a home and a family soon."
+
+The woman smiled and said, "Maybe He will. And maybe He already did." She kissed Lily on the cheek and said good night.
+
+Lily went back to her room and prayed for the woman and her family. She felt happy and peaceful. She learned that sometimes, being kind to others can make a big difference in their lives and in ours. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. One day, they see a big, old tree in the corner of the park. They wonder what is inside the tree.
+
+"Let's go and look," Sara says. "Maybe there are animals or treasures in there."
+
+"OK, but be careful," Ben says. "The tree is very old. It may have history, but it may also have bugs or holes."
+
+They walk to the tree and peek inside. They see a small, brown animal with a long tail and big ears. It looks at them with curious eyes.
+
+"Hello, little animal," Sara says. "What are you? Are you harmless?"
+
+The animal makes a soft noise and comes closer. It sniffs Sara's hand and licks it. Sara giggles.
+
+"I think it likes me," she says. "It is harmless. It is a squirrel."
+
+"A squirrel?" Ben says. "I have never seen a squirrel before. Can I pet it too?"
+
+Sara nods and holds out her hand. The squirrel jumps on her palm and then on Ben's. They stroke its fur and feed it some nuts. The squirrel is happy and friendly.
+
+Sara and Ben have a new friend. They name it Nibbles. They visit the tree every day and play with Nibbles. They learn more about squirrels and their history. They have a lot of fun and love.
+Lily loved books. She liked to look at the pictures and the words. She had many books in her room. One day, she found a big book on the shelf. It was a dictionary. It had many words, but no pictures. Lily was curious. She opened the dictionary and tried to read it.
+
+She saw a word that she did not know. It was "destroy". She sounded it out. "Dee-stroy". She wondered what it meant. She looked at the picture next to it. It was a picture of a house that was broken and on fire. Lily was scared. She did not like the word "destroy". She did not like the picture. She wanted to make it go away.
+
+She ripped the page out of the dictionary. She tore it into pieces. She threw the pieces in the trash. She felt better. She did not see the word "destroy" anymore. She did not see the picture anymore. She smiled. She thought she had fixed the dictionary. She thought she had made it perfect.
+
+But she was wrong. She had not fixed the dictionary. She had destroyed it. She had made it worse. She did not know that. She did not know that dictionaries are important and useful. She did not know that ripping pages out of books is bad. She did not know that she had done something wrong.
+
+Later, her mom came into her room. She saw the dictionary on the shelf. She saw the missing page. She saw the pieces in the trash. She was angry. She was sad. She asked Lily what she had done. Lily told her what she had done. She told her why she had done it. She told her she had made the dictionary perfect. Her mom did not agree. Her mom explained to her what "destroy" meant. She explained to her why dictionaries are good. She explained to her why ripping pages out of books is bad. She explained to her that she had done something wrong.
+
+Lily was sorry. She did not mean to destroy the dictionary. She did not mean to make her mom angry and sad. She did not know better. She learned a new word. She learned a new lesson. She hugged her mom and said she was sorry. Her mom hugged her back and said she forgave her. She said she loved her. She said they would get a new dictionary. She said they would read it together. She said they would learn more words. She said they would have fun. Lily was happy. She loved her mom. She loved books. She wanted to learn more. She wanted to have fun.
+Lily and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. They saw a big boat with a red flag on the water. They wondered who was on the boat.
+
+"Look, look!" Tom said. "There is a sailor on the boat. He is waving at us. Do you think he is nice?"
+
+"Maybe he is," Lily said. "Let's wave back and say hello."
+
+They waved their hands and shouted hello to the sailor. The sailor smiled and shouted hello too. He steered the boat closer to the shore and threw a rope to the dock. He jumped off the boat and walked towards Lily and Tom.
+
+"Hello, little ones," he said. "I am Sam, the sailor. I have been sailing on the sea for a long time. I am happy to see you. What are your names?"
+
+"I am Lily and this is Tom," Lily said. "We are playing on the beach. We like your boat and your red flag. Where did you come from?"
+
+"I came from a faraway land," Sam said. "I have seen many things and met many people. I have some stories and some gifts for you. Do you want to hear and see them?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom said. They were curious and excited.
+
+"Then come with me to my boat," Sam said. "I will show you what I have. You are very welcome, Lily and Tom. You are my new friends."
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a big box under a tree. It was brown and had a lock on it.
+
+"What is in the box?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a secret," Ben said.
+
+"Let's open it and see," Lily said.
+
+They tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one.
+
+"Maybe we can break the lock," Ben said.
+
+He picked up a stick and hit the lock. It made a loud noise, but the lock did not open.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Lily said. "You are making too much noise. Someone will hear us and take the box away."
+
+"Who will hear us? There is no one here," Ben said.
+
+He hit the lock again. The noise was louder than before.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my box?" the voice said.
+
+They turned around and saw a man. He was big and had a beard. He looked angry.
+
+"Uh-oh," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They dropped the stick and ran away. They did not want to get in trouble.
+
+They ran to the other side of the park, where they saw a swing and a slide. They decided to play there instead.
+
+They forgot about the box and the man. They had fun on the swing and the slide. They laughed and smiled.
+
+They were jolly.
+
+They did not dare to go back to the box. They did not want to know the secret. They were happy with their own toys.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big mirror that hung on the wall. They liked to make funny faces and see themselves in the mirror.
+
+One day, they decided to play a new game. They took a soft ball and threw it at the mirror. They wanted to see how the ball bounced back. They took turns throwing the ball and catching it.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can throw the ball very high!" Ben said.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you are good at throwing!" Lily said.
+
+They were having a lively time, laughing and clapping. But they did not notice that the mirror was shaking and cracking. They threw the ball harder and harder, until...
+
+CRASH!
+
+The mirror broke into many pieces. The ball fell to the floor. Ben and Lily stopped and stared. They were scared and sad. They had broken their favorite toy.
+
+They heard their mom coming up the stairs. They knew they were in trouble. They ran to their bed and hid under the covers.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what happened?" their mom asked. She saw the broken mirror and the ball. She was angry and worried. She went to their bed and pulled the covers.
+
+"Ben, Lily, come out. You have to tell me what you did." she said.
+
+Ben and Lily came out. They looked at their mom with big eyes. They were sorry for what they did.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We were playing with the ball and the mirror. We did not mean to break it." Ben said.
+
+"We like the mirror. We like to see ourselves. We did not know it would break." Lily said.
+
+Their mom sighed. She hugged them and said, "I know you are sorry. But you have to be careful with your toys. The mirror is not a toy. It is dangerous to throw things at it. You could have hurt yourselves or made a mess. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We are sorry. We will not do it again."
+
+Their mom smiled. She said, "I love you, Ben and Lily. But you have to learn from your mistakes. Now, let's clean up this mess and find a new place for the mirror."
+Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They see a big frog near the pond. The frog is green and wet. It jumps and croaks.
+
+"Look, a frog!" Tom says. He runs to the frog and tries to catch it.
+
+"Be careful, Tom!" Lily says. She follows Tom and watches the frog. "Frogs are slippery and fast. They can hop away."
+
+Tom reaches the frog and grabs it with his hands. The frog wriggles and squeaks. Tom holds it up and smiles.
+
+"I got it, I got it!" Tom says. He is proud of his catch. He shows the frog to Lily.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you are brave!" Lily says. She admires the frog. "Can I touch it?"
+
+Tom nods and gives the frog to Lily. Lily gently strokes the frog's back. The frog feels smooth and cool. Lily likes the frog.
+
+"Hello, frog," Lily says. "You are cute and funny. Do you have a name?"
+
+The frog does not answer. It opens its mouth and spits out some water. The water hits Tom and Lily in the face. They are surprised and wet.
+
+"Hey, frog, that's not nice!" Tom says. He laughs and wipes his face.
+
+The frog jumps out of Lily's hands and lands on the ground. It hops back to the pond and dives into the water.
+
+"Bye, frog!" Lily says. She waves to the frog. "Thank you for playing with us."
+
+Tom and Lily giggle and hug. They are happy and wet. They go back to their house and tell their mom about the frog. Mom gives them a towel and a hug. She is proud of them too.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had a big blanket that they liked to use for different games. Sometimes they pretended it was a tent, or a cape, or a magic carpet.
+
+Today, they decided to imagine that they were wealthy. They put on some shiny necklaces and bracelets that they found in their mom's drawer. They spread the blanket on the floor and put some toys and books on it. They said that those were their treasures.
+
+"Look at all the things we have," Lily said. "We are so rich and happy."
+
+"Yes, we are," Ben agreed. "But do you know what I like the most?"
+
+"What?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben pointed to the blanket. "This. This is our cozy and soft blanket. It keeps us warm and safe. It is our best treasure."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her brother. "You are right. I love our blanket too. And I love you."
+
+They snuggled under the blanket and read some stories. They felt very wealthy and very lucky.
+Tom and Lily are best friends. They like to play together every day. They share their toys, their snacks and their secrets. They love each other very much.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide, a swing and a sandbox. They run to the slide and take turns to slide down. They laugh and have fun.
+
+Then, Lily sees a shiny red ball in the grass. She picks it up and shows it to Tom. "Look, Tom, a ball! Let's play with it!" she says. Tom nods and smiles. They kick the ball to each other and chase it around.
+
+But then, a big wind comes and blows the ball away. The ball flies over the fence and into the street. Tom and Lily run after it, but they can't catch it. They watch as the ball rolls away and disappears.
+
+"Oh no, we lost the ball!" Lily cries. She feels sad and angry. She looks at Tom and says, "It's your fault, Tom! You kicked it too hard! You are a bad friend!"
+
+Tom feels hurt and confused. He didn't mean to lose the ball. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't want to lose the ball. I'm not a bad friend. I love you, Lily."
+
+Lily turns away and crosses her arms. She doesn't want to talk to Tom. She says, "Go away, Tom. I don't love you anymore."
+
+Tom feels very sad. He walks away and sits on a bench. He wishes he could have the ball back. He wishes he could have Lily back.
+
+Their moms see them and wonder what happened. They go to them and ask them what's wrong. They listen to their stories and hug them. They tell them that losing a ball is not a big deal. They tell them that losing a friend is a big deal. They tell them that love is more important than a ball. They tell them that they should be compassionate and forgive each other.
+
+Tom and Lily think about what their moms say. They realize that they were silly and mean. They miss each other and want to play again. They get up and walk to each other. They say, "I'm sorry, Tom/Lily. I was wrong. You are a good friend. I love you, Tom/Lily."
+
+They hug and smile. They feel happy and relieved. They decide to play on the swing and forget about the ball. They thank their moms and say, "We love you, too."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but they do not like to dress up. They think it is hard and boring. They always wear the same clothes: a blue shirt and a red pants.
+
+One day, their mom tells them: "Today is a special day. We are going to Grandma's house for dinner. You need to dress up nicely. I have some new clothes for you in your room. Go and try them on."
+
+Anna and Ben do not want to dress up. They say: "No, mom. We like our old clothes. They are easy and comfy. We do not need new clothes."
+
+Mom says: "Please, Anna and Ben. It is not polite to wear the same clothes every day. Grandma will be happy to see you in new clothes. They are not hard to wear. They are just different. Trust me, you will look very pretty and handsome."
+
+Anna and Ben still do not want to dress up. They run to their room and hide under the bed. They think mom will forget about them.
+
+But mom does not forget. She comes to their room and looks for them. She sees their feet sticking out from under the bed. She says: "Anna and Ben, I see you. Come out from under the bed. It is time to go to Grandma's house. You cannot go like this. You need to dress up."
+
+Anna and Ben come out from under the bed. They see mom holding two bags. One has a pink dress and a white hat for Anna. The other has a green shirt and a black pants for Ben. They look at the new clothes and feel curious. They wonder how they will look in them.
+
+Mom says: "Here, try these on. They are very nice and soft. They will fit you well. You can keep your old clothes in the bags. You can wear them again another day."
+
+Anna and Ben take the new clothes and go to the bathroom. They try them on. They look at themselves in the mirror. They are surprised. They look very different. They look very pretty and handsome. They smile and say: "Wow, mom was right. These clothes are not hard to wear. They are just different. We like them. We look good."
+
+They go back to mom and show her their new clothes. Mom is very happy. She says: "You look wonderful, Anna and Ben. I am so proud of you. You are very brave and smart. You tried something new and you liked it. That is a good thing to do. Sometimes, new things can be fun and good. You should always be open to new things. You never know what you might learn or enjoy."
+
+Anna and Ben hug mom and say: "Thank you, mom. We love you. We are sorry we did not listen to you at first. We learned our lesson. We will always try new things. We are ready to go to Grandma's house. We hope she will like our new clothes."
+
+Mom says: "She will love them. And she will love you more. Come on, let's go. Dinner is waiting for us."
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a lot of mist in the air. The mist is cool and wet. They run and jump in the mist. They have fun.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can make shapes with my mouth in the mist!" Sam says. He blows out air and makes a circle.
+
+"Wow, that is cool, Sam! Can you teach me how to do that?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, Ben, it is easy. You just make a small hole with your lips and blow out hard. Like this." Sam shows Ben how to make a circle.
+
+Ben tries to do the same. He makes a small hole with his lips and blows out hard. But he does not make a circle. He makes a big noise. "Pfffft!"
+
+Sam laughs. "Ben, that is not a circle, that is a fart!"
+
+Ben feels sad. He thinks Sam is making fun of him. He does not want to play with Sam anymore. He runs away.
+
+Sam sees Ben run away. He feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Ben's feelings. He runs after Ben.
+
+"Ben, wait, I am sorry. I was not making fun of you. I was just joking. You are my friend. I want to play with you." Sam says.
+
+Ben stops and looks at Sam. He sees Sam's face. Sam looks sad too. Ben thinks Sam is sorry. He does not want to be mad at Sam. He wants to play with Sam too.
+
+"OK, Sam, I forgive you. You are my friend too. I want to play with you. But can you teach me how to make a circle in the mist?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course, Ben, I will teach you. Come on, let's try again. And then we can make other shapes too. Like a heart, or a star, or a smiley face." Sam says.
+
+Ben and Sam hug. They go back to the mist. They blow out air and make shapes. They have fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Friends should not make fun of each other. Friends should help each other and say sorry when they make a mistake. Friends should have fun together.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and monkeys. But their favorite was the gorilla. The gorilla was big and strong, and had black fur and a funny face.
+
+The gorilla was in a big cage, with some trees and rocks and a pond. He liked to swing on the branches, climb on the rocks, and splash in the water. Sometimes he would make loud noises, like "ooh ooh aah aah", and the children would laugh.
+
+Tom and Lily wanted to get closer to the gorilla, and see him better. They saw a sign that said "Do not cross the line". The line was a yellow rope that was in front of the cage. Their mom and dad told them to stay behind the line, and not to touch the rope.
+
+But Tom and Lily were curious and naughty. They did not listen to their mom and dad. They wanted to cross the line, and touch the rope. They thought the gorilla would like them, and maybe play with them.
+
+They waited until their mom and dad were looking at another animal, and then they ran to the rope. They tried to pull it, and lift it, and move it. But the rope was too heavy, and too tight. They could not resist the rope. The rope did not move.
+
+The gorilla saw them, and he did not like them. He did not want them to cross the line, and touch the rope. He wanted them to stay away from his cage, and his home. He was angry, and he was not patient.
+
+He roared at them, and he banged on the cage. He showed them his big teeth, and his sharp claws. He scared them, and he made them cry.
+
+Their mom and dad heard them, and they came back. They saw them, and they were not happy. They scolded them, and they took them away from the rope. They told them to say sorry to the gorilla, and to never do that again.
+
+Tom and Lily said sorry to the gorilla, and they learned their lesson. They did not cross the line, and they did not touch the rope. They watched the gorilla from a safe distance, and they respected him. The gorilla calmed down, and he went back to his trees and rocks and pond. He was happy, and he was patient.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys at home. They have many toys, but they have one toy that they both love. It is a big red car that can move and make noises. Lily and Ben always want to play with the car, but they do not like to share.
+
+One day, Mom says, "Lily and Ben, I have to go to the store. You can play with your toys, but you have to be nice to each other. Do not fight over the car, okay?" Lily and Ben nod, but they do not mean it. Mom leaves and they run to the car.
+
+"I want to play with the car first!" Lily says.
+
+"No, I want to play with the car first!" Ben says.
+
+They pull and tug on the car. They yell and cry. They do not listen to each other. They do not have fun.
+
+Then, they hear a loud crack. The car breaks in half. Lily and Ben stop and look at the car. They feel sad and sorry. They broke their favorite toy. They wish they had shared.
+
+They hear Mom come back. They hide the car under the sofa. They hope Mom will not see it. They sit on the sofa and pretend to read a book.
+
+Mom comes in and smiles. She says, "Hello, my sweeties. Did you have fun with your toys?" Lily and Ben shake their heads. They do not want to lie, but they do not want to tell the truth. They feel bad.
+
+Mom says, "What's wrong? You look unhappy. Did something happen?" She looks under the sofa and sees the broken car. She says, "Oh, no. What happened to the car? Did you break it?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We fought over the car and we broke it. We did not share. We did not listen to you. We were not nice to each other."
+
+Mom says, "I'm glad you told me the truth, but I'm sad that you broke the car. You know, the car is just a toy. It can be fixed or replaced. But you are not just toys. You are my children. You are special and precious. You cannot be fixed or replaced. You have to love and respect each other. You have to share and take turns. You have to be kind and gentle. That is how you can have fun and be happy."
+
+Lily and Ben hug Mom and say, "We love you, Mom. We are sorry. We will try to be better. We will share and take turns. We will be kind and gentle. We will love and respect each other."
+
+Mom says, "That's my perfect twins. I love you, too. Now, let's see if we can fix the car together. Maybe we can make it even better than before."
+
+They go to the table and work on the car. They help each other and laugh. They have fun and are happy. They learn their lesson. They are perfect.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they watch a marriage on TV. They see a man and a woman say "I love you" and kiss. They wear nice clothes and rings.
+
+Sara says, "I want to have a marriage like that. Do you want to marry me, Ben?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, I do. You are my best friend. Let's pretend we are married."
+
+They find some clothes and rings in Sara's mom's closet. They put them on and go to the backyard. They hold hands and say "I love you" and kiss. They are happy.
+
+But then, Sara's mom sees them. She is angry. She says, "What are you doing? Those are my clothes and rings. You are too young to play marriage. Give them back to me right now!"
+
+She takes the clothes and rings from Sara and Ben. She scolds them and sends Ben home. Sara and Ben are sad. They feel hurt. They don't understand why Sara's mom is so mad. They just wanted to have fun. They cry and hug each other goodbye.
+Lily liked to play with her sack. She put many things in it, like her doll, her ball, and her book. She liked to carry her sack around the house and pretend it was a treasure.
+
+One day, she saw a picture of a dragon in her book. It was big and green and had wings and fire. Lily thought it was scary and cool. She wanted to play with a dragon.
+
+She took her sack and went outside. She looked for a dragon in the garden, but she only saw a bird, a cat, and a bug. She looked for a dragon in the park, but she only saw a dog, a bike, and a swing. She looked for a dragon in the woods, but she only saw a tree, a rock, and a flower.
+
+She was sad. She could not find a dragon. She sat on the ground and opened her sack. She took out her doll, her ball, and her book. She hugged them and said, "You are my friends. You are my treasure."
+
+Then she heard a noise. It was a roar. She looked up and saw a dragon. It was big and green and had wings and fire. But it was also thin and hungry. It saw Lily and her sack. It wanted to eat them.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to play with a dragon. She wanted to run away. But she also felt sorry for the dragon. It looked sad and lonely. She had an idea.
+
+She took out her doll, her ball, and her book. She threw them to the dragon. She said, "Here, dragon. You can have these. They are my friends. They are my treasure. Maybe they can make you happy."
+
+The dragon was surprised. It caught the doll, the ball, and the book. It looked at them and sniffed them. It did not want to eat them. It wanted to play with them. It smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are kind. You are my friend. You are my treasure. Maybe we can play together."
+
+Lily was happy. She had found a dragon. She had made a friend. She said, "Yes, dragon. We can play together. But first, do you want some food? You look hungry."
+
+The dragon nodded. It said, "Yes, Lily. I want some food. I am hungry."
+
+Lily said, "Come on, then. Let's go to my house. I have some cookies and milk. And you can bring your sack. It has many things in it. It is your treasure."
+
+The dragon agreed. It said, "OK, Lily. Let's go to your house. I have some cookies and milk. And I will bring my sack. It has many things in it. It is my treasure."
+
+They walked to Lily's house, holding hands. They shared cookies and milk. They played with the doll, the ball, and the book. They had fun. They were happy. They were friends. They were treasure.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of toys to share, like balls, dolls, cars and books. They always had fun together and helped each other.
+
+One day, they decided to have a picnic in the park. Lily's mom gave them some sandwiches, fruits and juice to supply their hunger. Ben's mom gave them a blanket, a hat and some sunscreen to supply their comfort. They packed everything in a big bag and went to the park.
+
+They found a nice spot under a tree and spread the blanket. They took out their toys and played happily. They talked and laughed and made up stories. They did not notice the time passing.
+
+"Look, the sun is high in the sky. It is noon!" Lily said, pointing at the sun. "We should eat our picnic now. I am hungry."
+
+"Me too," Ben said. "Let's open the bag and see what we have."
+
+They opened the bag and gasped. There was nothing inside! No sandwiches, no fruits, no juice. Only a note that said: "Sorry, kids. I took your food. I was hungry too. Have a nice day. The hungry thief."
+
+Lily and Ben felt very sad and angry. They had no food to eat and no water to drink. They were hungry and thirsty and tired. They had no energy to play or talk. They looked at each other and cried.
+
+They had a very bad picnic. They wished they had stayed at home. They learned a hard lesson: never leave your bag unattended in the park. There are bad people who can steal your things.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They go to school together. They like to play with cars and balls. But one day, they have a big fight.
+
+"Give me that car!" Tom says. He wants the red car that Sam has.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam says. He likes the red car very much.
+
+They pull and push the car. They yell and cry. They are very angry.
+
+"Stop it, boys!" Miss Lee says. She is their teacher. She sees them fight. She is not happy.
+
+"Tom, Sam, why are you fighting?" Miss Lee asks.
+
+"Because he has my car!" Tom says.
+
+"No, it is my car!" Sam says.
+
+Miss Lee shakes her head. She takes the car from them.
+
+"Listen, boys. This car is not yours. It is the school's car. You have to share it with others. Fighting is not nice. Fighting is not fun. Fighting makes you sad and hurt. Do you want to be sad and hurt?" Miss Lee says.
+
+Tom and Sam look at each other. They feel sorry. They do not want to be sad and hurt. They do not want to fight.
+
+"No, Miss Lee. We do not want to be sad and hurt. We do not want to fight." Tom and Sam say.
+
+"Good. Then say sorry to each other. And hug. And be friends again." Miss Lee says.
+
+Tom and Sam say sorry to each other. They hug. They are friends again.
+
+"Can we play with the car together?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, we can. And we can play with other cars too." Sam says.
+
+They smile. They are happy. They go to play with the car and other cars. Miss Lee smiles too. She is happy. She gives them a star sticker each.

+Tom and Sam say thank you to Miss Lee. They love their teacher. They love their school. They love their cars. They love their friend. They are not poor. They are rich. Rich in love.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They saw a large box. They wanted to make a house with it. They ran to the shed and got a hammer and some nails.
+
+They dragged the box to a shady spot. They cut a door and two windows with scissors. They nailed the box to a wooden board. They used a blanket for a roof. They were very happy with their house.
+
+They decided to prepare a picnic inside their house. They got some bread, cheese, and juice from the kitchen. They put them in a basket. They also took some plates, cups, and napkins.
+
+They went inside their house and set up their picnic. They ate and drank and talked. They pretended they were a family. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They heard their mom calling them. It was time to go inside. They cleaned up their picnic and their house. They put the hammer and the nails back in the shed. They thanked the box for being their house. They hugged each other and ran to their mom.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room at night. They have a flashlight that makes bright light. They use the flashlight to make shapes on the wall. They pretend they are animals or monsters or stars.
+
+One night, Mom comes to their room. She says, "It is time to sleep, Lily and Ben. You have to behave and turn off the flashlight. Tomorrow is a big day. You will go to the park and see your friends."
+
+Lily and Ben do not want to sleep. They want to play more. They say, "Please, Mom, just five more minutes. We are having fun. We are lively and happy."
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you have to sleep now. You need to rest and grow. If you behave and turn off the flashlight, I will read you a story. A story about a brave knight and a friendly dragon. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They love stories. They turn off the flashlight and snuggle in their beds. Mom reads them the story. They listen and smile. They close their eyes and dream. They are good and behave.
+Lily was very excite to go to the park with her mom and dad. She loved to swing and slide and play with the sand. She put on her hat and shoes and ran to the car.
+
+At the park, she saw many other kids and dogs and birds. She said hello to them and made some new friends. She had so much fun that she forgot about the time.
+
+When her mom called her, she ran back to the car. She was hungry and thirsty. Her mom gave her a plate with a sandwich and a cup with juice. She said thank you and ate and drank. She was very grateful for the food and the drink.
+
+She looked at her mom and dad and smiled. They smiled back and hugged her. She was very happy and felt very loved. She said, "I love you, mom and dad. This was the best day ever."
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to look at the stars at night. They had a small telescope that their dad gave them. They would take turns to see the bright dots in the sky.
+
+One night, they saw something very special. It was a large ball of fire with a long tail. It moved very fast across the sky.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim said. "What is it?"
+
+"It's a comet!" Sam said. "Dad told me about them. They are rocks that fly around the sun. Sometimes we can see them from Earth."
+
+"That's amazing!" Tim said. "Can we touch it?"
+
+"No, silly!" Sam said. "It's too far away and too hot. We can only watch it."
+
+They watched the comet for a long time. It was very beautiful and bright. They felt happy and excited.
+
+"Let's make a wish!" Tim said. "Maybe the comet will make it come true."
+
+"OK!" Sam said. "But don't tell me your wish. It's a secret."
+
+They closed their eyes and made their wishes. Then they opened them and smiled at each other.
+
+"Did you make a good wish?" Tim asked.
+
+"Yes, I did!" Sam said. "Did you?"
+
+"Yes, I did!" Tim said.
+
+They hugged each other and relaxed. They felt warm and cozy. They thanked the comet for the wonderful show. Then they went to bed and dreamed of the stars.
+Tom and Anna were very happy. They were going to fly in a big plane for the first time. They had their bags and their toys and their mom and dad with them. They walked to the gate and waited for their turn.
+
+"Look, Anna, there is the pilot!" Tom said, pointing to a man in a blue suit and a hat. The pilot was bald, he had no hair on his head. He smiled at Tom and Anna and waved his hand.
+
+"Hello, kids, are you ready to fly with me?" the pilot asked.
+
+"Yes, yes, we are!" Tom and Anna said, smiling back.
+
+"Come on, then, follow me. I will show you the cockpit, where I sit and fly the plane. It has many buttons and lights and screens. Do you want to see?" the pilot said.
+
+"Yes, please, that sounds fun!" Tom and Anna said, excited.
+
+The pilot took them by the hand and led them to the front of the plane. He opened a door and showed them the cockpit. Tom and Anna gasped. It was like a spaceship. They saw the pilot's seat, the co-pilot's seat, the steering wheel, the pedals, the levers, the switches, the dials, the radios, the maps, and the windows.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said.
+
+"Can we sit here?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, you can, but only for a little while. Then you have to go back to your seats and buckle up. We are going to take off soon." the pilot said.
+
+He helped Tom and Anna sit in the seats and put on the headphones. He showed them how to talk to him and to the tower. He let them press some buttons and turn some knobs. He told them what they did and what they meant. He explained how he flew the plane and where they were going.
+
+Tom and Anna listened and learned. They felt like they were pilots too. They thanked the pilot and gave him a hug. They went back to their seats and buckled up. They looked out the window and saw the runway. They heard the engines roar. They felt the plane move and speed up. They felt the plane lift off and soar into the sky.
+
+They smiled. They were flying. They were happy.
+Anna was a gifted daughter. She could sing, dance, draw and read very well. She liked to show her skills to everyone. She wanted to be the best at everything.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a group of children playing with a ball. She wanted to join them. She ran to them and said, "I can play better than you. Give me the ball."
+
+The children did not like Anna's words. They said, "No, you can't. You are rude and bossy. Go away."
+
+Anna felt angry and sad. She ran back to her mom and cried. Her mom hugged her and said, "Why are you crying, my daughter?"
+
+Anna told her mom what happened. Her mom said, "Anna, you are gifted, but you are not kind. You need to learn to share, to listen, to respect and to be humble. Then you will have more friends and more fun."
+
+Anna thought about her mom's words. She realized that she was wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. You are right. I want to be kind, not just gifted. Can I try again?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, my daughter. Let's go and watch the children play. Maybe you can ask them nicely if you can join them."
+
+Anna nodded and wiped her tears. She followed her mom and watched the children play. She saw that they were having fun and laughing. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She wanted to be part of their game.
+
+She walked to them and said, "Hello, I'm Anna. I'm sorry for what I said before. I was mean and selfish. Can I play with you, please?"
+
+The children looked at her and saw that she was sincere. They said, "Sure, you can play with us. We are sorry, too. We were rude and harsh. What's your name?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "I'm Anna. Thank you for letting me play. What are we playing?"
+
+The children told her the rules of the game. They gave her a ball and welcomed her to their team. Anna felt happy and grateful. She played with them and had a lot of fun. She learned to share, to listen, to respect and to be humble. She made new friends and enjoyed their company.

+
+Her mom waved back and said, "I love you, too, my daughter. You are gifted and kind. I'm proud of you."

+
+Timmy's mother took him to the doctor, but even the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong. Timmy's parents tried everything they could to make him happy, but nothing seemed to work. One day, Timmy's parents woke up to find that Timmy had passed away in his sleep.
+
+Timmy's parents were heartbroken and didn't understand why this had happened. They learned that sometimes things seem fine on the outside, but inside there can be trouble that we can't see.

+
+When they came back to the park, Lily opened the birdcage and put the birdseed inside. The bird was happy and started to sing. Lily felt fine because she had helped the bird.
+
+Suddenly, a boy came and kicked the birdcage. Lily was angry and said, "Why did you kick the birdcage? That's not nice!" The boy said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to see the bird fly." Lily forgave the boy and they all played together. The end.

+
+Later that day, Lily's mom made some lemonade. Lily's friend took a sip and made a sour face. Lily said, "Just because something smells or tastes sour, doesn't mean it's not good. My reindeer may not smell the best, but he is my best friend and I love him." Her friend felt bad and apologized for being mean to the reindeer.
+
+From that day on, Lily's friend learned to love the reindeer too and they all played together happily ever after. The moral of the story is to never judge something or someone by their appearance or smell, because they may belong to someone who loves them very much.

+Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved playing outside in the sun, but it was too hot. He wanted to find some shade to play in. He looked around and saw a big tree with lots of leaves. He ran over to the tree and sat down in the shade. 
+
+Suddenly, he heard a voice. "Hey there, silly boy! What are you doing?" It was his friend, Bobby. "I'm playing in the shade because it's too hot," Timmy said. "That's a great idea!" Bobby said. "I have an idea too. I found some toys that I don't want anymore. Do you want to buy them from me?" 
+
+Timmy thought for a moment. "I don't have any money," he said. "That's okay," Bobby said. "I'll sell them to you for one hug." Timmy smiled and gave Bobby a big hug. They played with the toys in the shade together and had lots of fun. From that day on, they were the best of friends.

+
+He had fixed the stage. He had helped the fixers. He had made the people happy. He hugged his dad and said, "Thank you, dad. I'm sorry I broke the stage. But I'm glad I fixed it. I want to be a fixer like you and them."
+
+His dad hugged him back and said, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm proud of you. You learned a lesson today. You learned that fixing things is not only fun, but also useful and kind. You learned that fixing things can make people happy. You learned that fixing things can fix mistakes. You are a good fixer, Ben. And you are a good son."

+
+"OK, Tom. You can have the jeep. But you have to promise me something," Lily says.
+
+"What do I have to promise?" Tom asks.
+
+"You have to promise to be careful. The jeep is not for bad things. It is not for hitting or throwing or breaking. It is for driving and parking and honking. You have to promise to be good with the jeep," Lily says.
+
+Tom nods. He wants the jeep. He will be good with it.

+
+"Look at my crown, Ben. It is very shiny and pretty," Lily said.
+
+"Wow, Lily, your crown is impressive. But my crown is bigger and stronger," Ben said.
+
+They both smiled and showed each other their crowns. They were proud of their work.
+
+"Let's go and find our palace, Lily. Maybe we can find a big slide or a swing to be our throne," Ben suggested.
+
+"OK, Ben, that sounds fun. Let's go and look for our palace," Lily agreed.

+
+"Look, Lily, a crown!" Max said. He put it on his head and smiled. "I am the king of the attic!"
+
+Lily giggled. She saw a necklace with shiny stones. She put it around her neck and said, "And I am the queen of the attic!"

+Lily and Max felt scared and sorry. They took off the fancy things and gave them back to their mom. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were just playing. We did not mean to be bad."
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "I know, my loves. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The attic is not a place for children. Come on, let's go downstairs and have some cookies."

+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big pot on the stove with steam coming out. They wanted to see what was inside, so they climbed on a chair and lifted the lid.
+
+Inside the pot, there were carrots and potatoes and peas. They smelled good, but they were very hot. Lily and Tom thought it would be fun to throw them around the kitchen. They grabbed some with their hands and tossed them in the air. They laughed as they made a big mess.
+
+But then, Mom came in and saw what they had done. She was very angry. She said, "Lily and Tom, you are very naughty! You wasted the food and made a mess. You could have burned yourselves with the steam. You need to wash your hands and help me clean up. And no dessert for you tonight!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We won't do it again." They washed their hands and helped Mom pick up the food. They learned their lesson and never played with the pot again.

+
+One day, Lily's mom says, "Lily, it is time to go outside. The sun is shining and the air is fresh. You can play with your ball and your bike. You can see your friends and have fun."
+
+But Lily does not want to go outside. She says, "No, mom. I want to play with my screen. It is more fun. I do not like the sun. It is too bright. It hurts my eyes."
+
+Mom says, "Lily, the screen is not good for you all the time. You need to see other things and move your body. The sun is good for you. It makes you warm and happy. It helps you grow and be healthy. You can wear a hat and sunglasses if you do not like the bright light."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes to be warm and happy. She likes to grow and be healthy. She likes to wear a hat and sunglasses. She says, "Okay, mom. I will go outside with you. But can I bring my screen with me?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "No, Lily. You do not need your screen outside. You have many other things to see and do. You can play with your screen later, when we come back home. Now, let's go and enjoy the sun."
+
+Lily nods and puts down her screen. She takes her mom's hand and goes outside. She sees the sun shining and the sky blue. She feels the breeze and the grass. She hears the birds and the cars. She smells the flowers and the food. She says, "Wow, mom. The outside is very busy. There are so many things to learn and have fun. I like the outside too."
+
+Mom hugs Lily and says, "I am glad you like the outside, Lily. The outside is a big screen with many colors and sounds. You can touch it and make things happen. You can watch animals and songs. You can learn new words and numbers. And you can share it with your friends and me."
+
+Lily smiles and says, "I love you, mom. And I love the outside. And I love my screen. But not too much."

+
+"Can we cross the road?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "The road is big and the cars are fast. We need to be careful."
+
+They look for a place to cross the road. They see a man with a sign. The sign is red and green. The man is friendly. He smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, children," the man says. "Do you want to cross the road?"
+
+"Yes, please," Anna and Ben say.
+
+"OK, then. Wait for me to show you the green sign. The green sign means you can go. The red sign means you have to stop. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, we understand," Anna and Ben say.
+
+"Good. Now, hold hands and follow me," the man says.
+
+He shows them the green sign and walks with them across the road. The cars stop and wait. Anna and Ben are happy. They thank the man and run to the park.

+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They drive them on the floor, on the couch, on the table. They make sounds like vroom, beep, honk.
+
+One day, Lila and Tom find a big book. It has many words in it. They do not know what the words mean. They try to read them, but they are too hard. They ask their mom and dad, but they are busy. They feel sad.
+
+Then, they have an idea. They use the book as a road for their cars. They drive their cars on the words, from one page to another. They pretend the words are hills, bridges, tunnels, signs. They have fun.
+
+They are loyal friends. They share their cars and their book. They help each other when they get stuck. They say nice things to each other. They are happy.
+Lily liked to pray every night before she went to sleep. She would fold her hands and close her eyes and talk to God. She would thank Him for her family and friends and ask Him to bless them. She would also ask Him to help her be good and kind and brave.
+
+One night, Lily had a new babysitter. Her name was Sue and she looked nice. But Sue was very rude. She did not listen to Lily when she wanted to play or read a story. She only watched TV and talked on her phone. She did not care about Lily at all.
+
+When it was time for bed, Lily asked Sue if she could pray. Sue said no. She said praying was silly and a waste of time. She said Lily had to go to sleep right away or she would be in trouble. Lily felt sad and scared. She did not like Sue at all.
+
+Lily went to her room and lay down on her bed. She wanted to pray, but she did not want Sue to hear her. She whispered very softly to God. She told Him she was sorry for Sue and asked Him to help her be nice. She also asked Him to send her a good story in her dreams. She hoped God could hear her.
+
+God heard Lily. He was happy that she prayed. He loved her very much. He sent her a beautiful story in her dreams. It was about a princess who was kind and brave and had many friends. Lily smiled in her sleep. She felt God's peace and love. She was glad she prayed.

+
+Ben was sad. He wanted to run with Anna, but he was not very fast. He tried his best, but he came last. He did not get a medal. He felt like no one cared about him. He saw Anna with her medal, but she did not see him. She was too busy talking to the other kids who had medals. She ignored him.
+
+The next day, Anna wanted to play with Ben. She brought her medal to show him again. She looked for him in the playground, but he was not there. She asked the other kids, but they did not know. She felt lonely and confused. She wondered why Ben did not want to play with her.
+
+Ben was in the art room. He was drawing a picture of him and Anna. He wanted to give it to her as a gift. He wanted to tell her that he was sorry for being slow and that he was happy for her. He wanted to tell her that he was still her friend and that she was reliable. He missed her.
+
+He finished his picture and put it in his backpack. He decided to look for Anna and give it to her. He hoped she would like it and forgive him. He left the art room and walked to the playground. He saw Anna sitting on a bench, holding her medal. She looked sad and lonely. He smiled and ran to her. He said, "Hi, Anna. I have something for you." He took out his picture and showed it to her.
+
+Anna saw the picture and gasped. It was beautiful. It showed her and Ben holding hands and smiling. It had a big heart and the words "Best Friends" on it. She felt a warm and happy feeling in her chest. She said, "Wow, Ben. This is amazing. Thank you so much. I'm sorry I ignored you. I was silly and selfish. You are my best friend and you are reliable. I love you."
+
+Ben smiled and hugged her. He said, "I love you too, Anna. I'm sorry I was sad and angry. You are my best friend and you are very good at running. I'm proud of you. Can I see your medal?"
+
+Anna nodded and gave him her medal. She said, "You can have it. It's yours. You deserve it. You are very good at drawing. I'm proud of you. Can I keep your picture?"
+
+Ben nodded and gave her his picture. He said, "You can keep it. It's yours. You deserve it. Let's play together."
+
+They held hands and ran to the swings. They laughed and played and had fun. They were best friends again. They learned to be happy for each other and to not ignore each other. They learned to share and to care. They learned to be reliable.
+Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. Sam is good at soccer. He can kick the ball far and fast. Tom is not so good. He often misses the ball or falls down.
+
+One day, a big bull comes to the park. He is wide and strong. He has horns on his head. He sees the ball and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the ball and kicks it with his hoof. The ball flies high in the air and lands on a tree.
+
+"Wow!" Sam says. "That bull is better than me at soccer. He can kick the ball very high."
+
+Tom is scared of the bull. He hides behind a bench. He says, "That bull is not better than you. He is just big and mean. He does not know how to play soccer. He does not have friends. You have friends. You have me."
+
+Sam smiles. He says, "You are right, Tom. You are my friend. And you can improve at soccer. I can help you. We can practice together. We can have fun."
+
+Tom nods. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. I want to improve at soccer. I want to have fun with you."
+
+They wait for the bull to go away. Then they get the ball from the tree. They play soccer together. They improve their skills. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a colorful robot that could make noises and move its arms and legs. Tom had a car that could go fast and make sounds. They liked to share their toys and have fun.
+
+"Can I play with your robot, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, Tom. You can play with my robot. But be careful. It is my favorite toy," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I will be careful. Your robot is very cool," Tom said.
+
+Tom took the robot and pressed some buttons. The robot made noises and moved its arms and legs. Tom smiled and laughed. He liked the robot.
+
+Lily watched Tom play with her robot. She was happy that he liked it. She decided to play with his car. She picked up the car and pushed it on the floor. The car went fast and made sounds. Lily smiled and laughed. She liked the car.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Tom pressed a button that he did not know. The robot made a loud noise and a spark. The robot stopped moving and making noises. The robot was broken.
+
+"Oh no! What did I do?" Tom cried.
+
+"Lily, look! I broke your robot. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," Tom said.
+
+Lily looked at her robot. She saw that it was broken. She felt sad and angry. She loved her robot. It was her favorite toy.
+
+"Tom, you broke my robot. You were not careful. You are a bad friend. I don't want to play with you anymore. Go away," Lily said.
+
+Lily took her robot and hugged it. She cried and cried. She did not want to talk to Tom. She did not want to share her toys. She did not want to have fun.
+
+Tom felt sad and sorry. He did not mean to break the robot. He wanted to play with Lily. He wanted to be a good friend. He wanted to have fun.
+
+But Lily did not listen to him. She did not forgive him. She did not want him.
+
+Tom left the living room. He took his car and went to his room. He cried and cried. He did not have fun.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they also fought over toys and games. One day, they were playing with their blocks and cars, when Ben decided he wanted Lily's red car. He grabbed it from her hand and said, "This is mine now!"
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She tried to get her car back, but Ben was stronger and faster. He ran away with the car and hid under the table. Lily cried and told their mom what happened. Mom said, "Ben, that was not nice. You have to share with your sister. Give her back the car and say sorry."
+
+But Ben did not want to share or say sorry. He felt guilty, but he also felt proud of his victory. He thought he had the best car and he did not care about Lily's feelings. He said, "No, I won't! This is my car and I will keep it forever!"
+
+Mom was very disappointed and angry. She said, "Ben, you are being very selfish and rude. You have to go to your room and take a nap. You can't play with any toys until you learn to be nice and share."
+
+Ben did not like that. He did not want to nap or lose his toys. He wanted to play with his car and have fun. He said, "No, I won't! I don't want to nap! I don't want to go to my room!"
+
+But Mom did not listen. She picked him up and carried him to his room. She put him on his bed and closed the door. She said, "You will stay here until you nap and say sorry. I hope you think about what you did and how you hurt your sister."
+
+Ben was very unhappy. He felt guilty and lonely. He wished he had been nicer to Lily and shared his car. He wished he had not fought with Mom and disobeyed her. He wished he could play with his toys and have fun. But he could not. He had to nap and say sorry. He had no choice. He had no victory. He had a bad ending.
+Tommy likes to zoom his toy car on the floor. He makes loud noises with his mouth as he pretends to drive. He has a red car and a blue car, but he likes the red one more. It is shiny and fast.
+
+Yesterday, he went to play with his friend Lily. Lily has a lot of toys, but Tommy only saw one thing. She had a yellow car that was bigger and brighter than his red one. He wanted to zoom it, but Lily said no. She said it was her favorite and she did not want to share.
+
+Tommy felt jealous. He thought Lily was mean. He tried to grab the yellow car, but Lily pulled it away. They started to fight and cry. Their moms came and took them apart. They said they had to be nice and take turns.
+
+Tommy did not want to take turns. He wanted the yellow car all for himself. He was still jealous and angry. He did not say sorry to Lily. He did not have fun.
+
+Later, he went home with his mom. He looked at his red car and his blue car. He felt sad. He missed Lily. He wished he had not fought with her. He realized that his cars were good too. He decided to call Lily and say sorry. He hoped she would still be his friend. He learned that zooming cars was more fun with someone else.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to walk in the park and look at the flowers and birds. One day, they see a big dog with a funny hat. The dog is brown and white and has a long tail.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Anna says. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog wags his tail and barks. He jumps on Anna and licks her face. Anna laughs and hugs the dog.
+
+"His name is Spot," a voice says. Anna and Ben look up and see a man with a smile. He is holding a leash. "He is my dog. He likes to wear hats. He has many hats, but this is his original hat. He got it when he was a puppy."
+
+"Wow, he has a lot of hats!" Ben says. "Can I see them?"
+
+"Sure, you can," the man says. "Come with me. I live near the park. Spot, come on, let's go home."
+
+The man, the dog, Anna and Ben walk to the man's house. The man shows them his dog's hats. There are hats with stars, hats with flowers, hats with stripes, and hats with ears. Anna and Ben try on some of the hats and laugh. Spot likes to share his hats with his new friends.
+
+"Thank you for showing us your hats," Anna says. "They are very nice."
+
+"You're welcome," the man says. "You are very nice, too. Do you want to come back and play with Spot again?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+They hug the man and the dog and say goodbye. They walk back to the park, holding hands. They are happy. They have made new friends.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with their bikes. They have a game. They pretend to be mail people. They deliver stuff to their neighbors.
+
+One day, they find a big box. It has a sticker. It says "To Lily". Lily is a girl who lives next door. Ben and Mia are curious. What is in the box?
+
+They knock on Lily's door. Lily opens it. She is happy to see them. She says, "Hi, Ben and Mia. Do you have something for me?"
+
+Ben and Mia say, "Yes, we do. We are mail people. We deliver stuff. This is for you." They give her the box.
+
+Lily says, "Thank you, mail people. You are very nice. Can I open it?"
+
+Ben and Mia say, "Yes, you can. We want to see what is in it too."
+
+Lily opens the box. She gasps. It is a puppy. A cute and playful puppy. It wags its tail. It licks Lily's face. It barks.
+
+Lily says, "Wow, a puppy. I love it. It is a birthday gift from my grandma. She knows I want a puppy. Thank you, grandma. And thank you, mail people. Do you want to play with my puppy?"
+
+Ben and Mia say, "Yes, we do. We love puppies. They are fun. Can we name it?"
+
+Lily says, "Sure, you can. What do you want to name it?"
+
+Ben and Mia think. They say, "How about Spot? It has a spot on its ear."
+
+Lily says, "Spot is a good name. I like it. Come on, Spot. Let's play with Ben and Mia. They are our friends."
+
+They all go to the backyard. They play with Spot. They throw a ball. They run. They laugh. They have a good time. They are happy.
+Lily was shivering. She was cold and wet. She had played in the snow with her brother Tom, but now she wanted to go inside. She ran to the door and knocked. Mom opened the door and smiled.
+
+"Come in, sweetie. You look very cold. Let me get you a towel and some hot cocoa," Mom said.
+
+Lily followed Mom to the kitchen. Mom wrapped her in a big, soft towel and gave her a mug of hot cocoa. Lily sipped the warm drink and felt better. She thanked Mom and hugged her.
+
+"Can I watch TV, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. But only for a little while. Then you need to take a bath and go to bed. You must be very sleepy after playing in the snow," Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She went to the living room and turned on the TV. She saw her favorite show, with funny animals and songs. She smiled and laughed. She felt cozy and warm. She forgot about the snow and the cold. She watched the TV until her eyes were heavy. She was very sleepy. She yawned and snuggled on the couch. She fell asleep with the TV on. Mom came and turned off the TV. She carried Lily to her bed and tucked her in. She kissed her goodnight and whispered, "I love you, Lily. Sweet dreams."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Lily had a small shovel and Ben had a big one. They took turns to make holes and fill them up again.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a prune!" Ben said, holding up a wrinkled brown fruit. He had dug it up from under a bush. "Do you want to eat it?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not like prunes. They were sour and sticky. She noticed a shiny red ball on the other side of the garden. She wanted to play with it. She ran towards it, leaving her shovel behind.
+
+"Hey, that's my ball!" a voice shouted. It was Tom, the boy who lived next door. He was angry. He had left his ball in the garden and gone inside for a snack. He saw Lily running with his ball and he chased her.
+
+"Give it back, Lily, it's mine!" Tom said, reaching for the ball. Lily did not want to give it back. She liked the ball. It was bright and round and bouncy. She held it tight and ran away.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" Tom said, running after her. He was faster than Lily. He caught up with her and grabbed the ball. He pulled hard and Lily pulled harder. The ball was fragile. It popped with a loud noise. Air came out of it and it became flat and sad.
+
+Lily and Tom were both shocked. They looked at the broken ball and then at each other. They felt sorry. They had ruined the ball. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Sorry, Tom, sorry," Lily said, in a small voice.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, sorry," Tom said, in a low voice.
+
+They walked back to the garden, holding the ball. They saw Ben sitting under the bush, eating the prune. He had a big smile on his face.
+
+"Hi, Lily, hi, Tom," Ben said, waving at them. "Do you want some prune? It's yummy!"
+
+Lily and Tom shook their heads. They did not want any prune. They wanted a new ball.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the day. They run, jump, and kick a ball. They have fun.
+
+But when it is night, they have to go inside. They do not like night. Night is dark and scary. They hear noises and see shadows. They want to stay with Mom and Dad.
+
+One night, Tom has an idea. He tells Sam, "Let's gather all our toys and put them in our bed. They will keep us safe and happy. They are our friends."
+
+Sam thinks this is a good idea. He says, "Yes, let's do that. I will get my bear and my truck. You get your dinosaur and your robot."
+
+They gather all their toys and put them in their bed. They make a big pile. They hug their toys and smile. They feel better.
+
+But Mom and Dad do not think this is a good idea. They come to check on them. They see the mess. They say, "What are you doing? This is stupid. You cannot sleep with all these toys. They will make you uncomfortable and hot. You need to put them away."
+
+Tom and Sam do not want to put them away. They say, "No, we need them. They are our friends. They protect us from night."
+
+Mom and Dad shake their heads. They say, "Night is not scary. Night is peaceful and quiet. You have nothing to fear. We are here for you. We love you."
+
+They help them put some toys away. They leave some toys for them to cuddle. They tuck them in and kiss them good night. They say, "Sleep well, boys. We will see you in the morning."
+
+Tom and Sam close their eyes. They hold their toys. They feel safe and happy. They say, "Good night, Mom and Dad. Good night, toys. We love you."
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with blocks and make patterns. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make patterns like red, blue, red, blue, or circle, square, circle, square.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big bench with a seat. The seat has a pattern on it. It has flowers and leaves and birds. Tom and Sue think it is pretty.
+
+"Let's sit on the seat and play with our blocks," Tom says.
+
+"OK," Sue says. They run to the seat and put their blocks on it. They start to make patterns with their blocks.
+
+But then, a big boy comes. He is older than Tom and Sue. He has a bike and a helmet. He looks rich. He sees Tom and Sue on the seat.
+
+"Hey, that's my seat!" he says. "Get off!"
+
+Tom and Sue are scared. They don't want to fight with the big boy.
+
+"But we were here first," Tom says.
+
+"I don't care. It's my seat. I like the pattern. It matches my bike. See?" The big boy points to his bike. It has the same pattern as the seat.
+
+Tom and Sue look at the bike. It does have the same pattern as the seat. But they don't think it is fair.
+
+"It's not your seat. It's for everyone. We can share," Sue says.
+
+"No, you can't. It's mine. Go away!" The big boy pushes Tom and Sue off the seat. He throws their blocks on the ground. He sits on the seat and smiles.
+
+Tom and Sue are sad and angry. They pick up their blocks. They want to sit on the seat and play with their blocks. They want to make patterns. They don't like the big boy.
+
+They look at their moms. Their moms see what happened. They come to help Tom and Sue.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom's mom says to the big boy. "That's not nice. You can't take the seat from them. They were playing with it."
+
+"Yeah, that's rude. You can't push them and throw their blocks. They didn't do anything to you," Sue's mom says to the big boy.
+
+The big boy looks at the moms. He is not scared. He is still rich. He still has his bike and his helmet. He still likes the pattern.
+
+"It's my seat. I can do what I want. You can't tell me what to do," he says.
+
+The moms are shocked. They don't like the big boy. They don't like his attitude. They don't like his bike and his helmet and his pattern.
+
+They look at each other. They have an idea. They smile.
+
+"OK, fine. It's your seat. You can have it. But we have a surprise for you," Tom's mom says.
+
+"What surprise?" the big boy says.
+
+"You'll see," Sue's mom says.
+
+They take Tom and Sue by the hand. They walk away from the seat. They go to the other side of the park. They find another bench with another seat. The seat has a different pattern. It has stars and moons and rockets. Tom and Sue think it is cool.
+
+"Look, Tom and Sue. This seat has a pattern too. And it's better than the other one. It has space things. Do you like it?" Tom's mom says.
+
+"Yes, we like it. It's awesome," Tom and Sue say.
+
+"Then let's sit on it and play with our blocks. We can make patterns with our blocks. We can make space patterns. Like star, moon, star, moon, or rocket, rocket, rocket," Sue's mom says.
+
+"OK," Tom and Sue say. They sit on the seat and play with their blocks. They make patterns with their blocks. They make space patterns. They are happy.
+
+They look at the big boy. He is still on the other seat. He is still rich. He still has his bike and his helmet and his pattern. But he is not happy. He is bored. He has no one to play with. He has no blocks to make patterns with. He has no space things. He has only flowers and leaves and birds.
+
+He looks at Tom and Sue. They are on the other seat. They are not rich. They don't have a bike and a helmet and a pattern. But they are happy. They have each other to play with. They have blocks to make patterns with. They have space things. They have stars and moons and rockets.
+
+He wants to join them. He wants to sit on the seat and play with their blocks. He wants to make patterns with their blocks. He wants to make space patterns. He wants to have stars and moons and rockets

+
+One day, he finds a shiny penny on the floor. He thinks it is a coin for his car. He puts it in the slot where the batteries go. He hopes it will make his car go faster and louder. He is very happy with his penny.
+
+But when he tries to drive his car, nothing happens. The car does not move or make noise. Sam is confused and sad. He does not understand why his car does not work. He thinks he broke his car.
+
+He shows his car and his penny to his mom. His mom is very intelligent. She knows a lot of things. She looks at the car and the penny. She smiles and hugs Sam. She tells him that the penny is not a coin for his car. It is a coin for buying things. She takes out the penny and puts in new batteries. She gives the car and the penny back to Sam.
+
+Sam is very happy. His car works again. It goes fast and makes noise. He thanks his mom and gives her a kiss. He drives his car on the floor, on the sofa, and on the table.

+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toys, draw pictures and read books. One day, they found a big box in the attic. It was full of old things that belonged to their grandma.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked, pulling out a shiny necklace.
+
+"It's pretty," Ben said, admiring the beads.
+
+They looked inside the box some more. They found a hat, a scarf, a glove and a book. They tried them on and pretended to be different people. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Then, Ben saw something else in the box. It was a small envelope with a stamp on it. The stamp had a picture of a bird and a flower. Ben opened the envelope and found a card inside. It had a message from their grandma.
+
+"Dear Lily and Ben, I love you very much. I hope you enjoy these things that I used to play with when I was little. They are very special to me, but I want to share them with you. You are my generous and kind grandchildren. Love, Grandma."
+
+Ben showed the card to Lily. They both smiled and hugged the card. They felt happy and loved. They decided to reveal the card to their mom and dad and thank their grandma for the gift. They put the card back in the envelope and put the envelope in their pocket. They took the box downstairs and showed their parents what they had found. They told them about the card and the stamp. Their parents were surprised and touched. They called their grandma and thanked her for the box and the card. They told her how much they loved her and missed her. Grandma was very happy and proud.

+Tommy loves to play with his train set. He has a big train with a red engine and a lot of cars. He likes to make the train go fast and slow, and make noises like "choo-choo" and "toot-toot". He has a track that goes around his room and under his bed.
+
+One day, Tommy's dad brings him a surprise. He says it is something for his train. Tommy is very excite. He opens the box and sees a black lump. He does not know what it is. He asks his dad.
+
+"That is coal, Tommy. It is what the real trains use to make fire and steam. You can put it in your engine and pretend it is a real train", his dad says.
+
+Tommy thinks that is cool. He takes the coal and puts it in his engine. He feels it with his hand. It is not soft. It is hard and rough. It makes his hand dirty. He does not like that. He wipes his hand on his shirt.
+
+He pushes the button to make his train go. He waits for the fire and steam. But nothing happens. His train just makes the same noises as before. He is confuse. He looks at his dad.
+
+"Sorry, Tommy. Your train is not a real train. It does not use coal. It uses batteries. The coal is just for fun. You can pretend it is a real train, but it will not make fire and steam", his dad says.
+
+Tommy is a little sad. He wanted to see fire and steam. He thinks coal is not fun. He takes it out of his engine and puts it back in the box. He says thank you to his dad, but he does not smile. He plays with his train, but he does not feel excite. He wishes he had a real train.
+Lily liked to dress up as a pirate. She had a big hat, a red coat, and a wooden sword. She also had a sail that she tied to a stick. She wanted to sail on the sea and find treasure.
+
+One day, she asked her mom if she could go to the beach. Her mom said no, it was too cold and windy. Lily was sad, but she was also persistent. She said, "Please, mom, please, I want to sail, I want to be a pirate, please, please, please!"
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Okay, Lily, but you have to wear your warm clothes and your boots. And you have to stay close to me and listen to me. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. Thank you, mom, you are the best!" She ran to her room and put on her pirate costume over her warm clothes. She grabbed her sail and her sword and followed her mom to the car.
+
+They drove to the beach and Lily was very excited. She saw the waves and the sand and the seagulls. She said, "Look, mom, look, the sea is waiting for me!" She ran to the shore and planted her sail in the sand. She pretended to steer her ship and fight the enemies. She said, "Ahoy, mateys, I am Captain Lily, the bravest pirate in the world!"
+
+Her mom watched her and smiled. She was happy that Lily had fun, but she also worried that Lily might get wet or cold or hurt. She said, "Lily, be careful, don't go too far, the sea can be dangerous." She hoped that Lily would listen to her and not get into trouble.
+
+But Lily was too busy playing to hear her mom. She saw a shiny thing in the water and thought it was treasure. She said, "Wow, look, I found gold, I found gold!" She ran to the water and reached for the shiny thing. But it was not gold, it was a can. And the water was not friendly, it was cold and strong. It splashed Lily and made her wet and cold. It also pulled her sail and her sword away from the sand. Lily was scared and cried, "Mom, mom, help me, help me!"
+
+Her mom heard her and ran to her. She grabbed her and hugged her. She said, "Lily, Lily, are you okay, are you okay?" She checked her and saw that she was not hurt, but she was wet and cold and shivering. She said, "Lily, you were very naughty, you did not listen to me, you went too far, you could have been hurt. Why did you do that?"
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry, I wanted to sail, I wanted to be a pirate, I wanted to find treasure, I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry." She looked at the sea and saw that her sail and her sword were gone. She said, "Mom, mom, my sail, my sword, they are gone, they are gone!"
+
+Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry, but they are gone, the sea took them, we can't get them back. But you are more important than your sail and your sword, you are my treasure, you are my treasure." She kissed her and said, "Let's go home, Lily, let's go home and get warm and dry and have some hot chocolate. Maybe we can make a new sail and a new sword later. Do you want that?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I want that. Thank you, mom, thank you, I love you, mom, I love you." She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry, I won't be a pirate anymore, I won't be a pirate anymore."
+
+Her mom said, "It's okay, Lily, it's okay, you can be a pirate sometimes, but you have to be careful and listen to me. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I will be careful and listen to you. I will be a good pirate, a good pirate." She smiled and said, "Can I still wear my hat and my coat?"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Yes, Lily, you can still wear your hat and your coat. You are a very cute pirate, a very cute pirate." She took her hand and said, "Let's go home, Lily, let's go home."
+
+They walked to the car and drove home. Lily was still wet and cold, but she was also happy and loved. She learned a lesson that day, but she did not
+Ben is a dog who likes to play with his bone. He digs a hole in the yard and hides his bone there. He thinks no one can find it. He is very happy.
+
+But one day, a cat comes to the yard. She smells the bone and digs it out. She wants to eat it. Ben sees the cat and runs to her. He barks loud and says, "No, no, no! That is my bone! You cannot have it!"
+
+The cat is not scared of Ben. She hisses and says, "Yes, yes, yes! I can have it! You hid it, but I found it. It is mine now!"
+
+Ben and the cat fight over the bone. They pull and tug and bite. They make a lot of noise. They do not see the boy who lives in the house. He is alert and hears them. He comes to the yard and sees them. He is not happy.
+
+He says, "Stop, stop, stop! You are both bad! You cannot fight over the bone! It is not yours or mine. It is for the dog who lives next door. He lost it yesterday. I will give it back to him. He will be happy."
+
+He takes the bone from Ben and the cat. He permits them to stay in the yard, but he says, "You must be nice to each other. You can play with other things. But you cannot take what is not yours. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and the cat nod. They feel sorry. They say, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We will be nice to each other. And to the dog next door. Thank you for the lesson."
+
+The boy smiles and says, "You are welcome. Now, go and have fun. But be good." He goes to the next door and gives the bone to the dog. The dog is very happy. He wags his tail and says, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a good friend. You found my bone. I love my bone."

+The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They saw a big fire truck drive by with a loud siren. They stopped and watched the fire truck go.
+
+"Wow, look at the fire truck!" Tom said. "It is red and shiny and fast. I want to be a fireman when I grow up."
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "Firemen are brave and help people. They put out fires and save cats from trees."
+
+They decided to pretend to be firemen and firewomen. They found some sticks and stones and made a pretend fire. They used their ball as a pretend hose and sprayed water on the fire.
+
+"Good job, team!" Tom said. "We put out the fire. We are the best firemen and firewomen ever."
+
+But then, a big boy came and kicked their ball away. He laughed and ran off with their ball.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily shouted. "That's our ball. Give it back!"
+
+Tom was angry and sad. He wanted to chase the big boy and get their ball back. But he was too small and slow. He felt like crying.
+
+Lily saw Tom's face and hugged him. She remembered something her mom had told her.
+
+"Don't worry, Tom," she said. "Mom says that bad things happen sometimes, but good things happen too. Maybe the big boy will be sorry and give our ball back. Or maybe we will find a new ball. Or maybe the fire truck will come back and give us a ride. We just have to remember to be kind and brave and have fun."
+
+Tom smiled and hugged Lily back. He felt better. He liked Lily. She was his best friend.
+
+They decided to keep playing and pretending. They made a new fire with leaves and flowers. They used their sticks as pretend hoses and sprayed water on the fire.
+
+They had fun. They were happy. They were firemen and firewomen.
+Tim and Sam were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they kicked the ball very hard and it went far away.
+
+One day, they kicked the ball so hard that it flew over the fence and hit a cop car. The cop car had a loud siren and a shiny badge. The cop was not happy. He got out of the car and looked at the ball. He saw Tim and Sam hiding behind a tree.
+
+The cop walked to the tree and called them. "Hey, you two, come here. Why did you kick the ball at my car?" he asked. Tim and Sam were scared. They did not want to get in trouble.
+
+Tim said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not mean to hit your car. We were just playing with the ball. Please don't be mad at us." Sam said, "Yes, sir. We are very sorry. We will be more careful next time. Please don't take our ball away."
+
+The cop looked at them and saw that they were honest and sorry. He said, "I'm glad you are sorry. It's not nice to kick things at other people's things. You could hurt someone or break something. You have to be respectful and responsible. Do you understand?" Tim and Sam nodded. They said, "Yes, sir. We understand. We will be respectful and responsible."
+
+The cop smiled and said, "That's good. I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Here is your ball. You can keep playing, but be careful where you kick it. And if you ever need help, you can always ask a cop. We are here to help you. Have a fine day." He gave them the ball and went back to his car.
+
+Tim and Sam thanked the cop and said goodbye. They learned that kicking things at other people's things is not nice and that cops are nice and helpful. They played with the ball in the park, but they kicked it softly and safely. They had a fine day.
+Ben was sad. He had to go to a big place with many people. He had to wear a suit. He did not like suits. They were tight and itchy. He wanted to wear his red shirt and blue pants.
+
+Mom saw Ben's face. She hugged him and said, "I know you are sad, Ben. But you are brave. You can do this. You are going to say goodbye to Grandpa. He loved you very much. He is in a happy place now. He is proud of you."
+
+Ben nodded. He wiped his eyes. He put on his suit. He held Mom's hand. They went to the big place. He saw many people. Some of them were crying. Some of them smiled at him. He saw Grandpa. He was in a big box. He looked peaceful.
+
+Ben walked to the box. He touched Grandpa's hand. He said, "Bye, Grandpa. I love you. I will miss you. Thank you for the stories and the cookies and the hugs. You are the best Grandpa ever."
+
+Mom hugged Ben again. She said, "You are very brave, Ben. You did a good job. Grandpa heard you. He loves you too. He will always be with you in your heart."
+
+Ben felt a little better. He smiled at Mom. He said, "I love you, Mom. You are the best Mom ever. You comfort me when I am sad. Can we go home now?"
+
+Mom nodded. She said, "Yes, Ben. We can go home now. We can take off our suits. We can have some ice cream. We can remember Grandpa and all the good times we had with him."
+
+Ben and Mom left the big place. They held hands. They were sad, but they were brave. They comforted each other. They loved each other.
+Lily liked to make things with her toys. She had many blocks, buttons, strings and stickers. She could attach them together and make new things. She made a house, a car, a robot and a flower. She was very happy with her creations.
+
+One day, she wanted to make something special for her mom. She thought of what her mom liked. She liked coffee, books, music and hugs. Lily had an idea. She found a big cup, a small book, a shiny button and a soft string. She attached them together and made a gift. She put a sticker on it that said "I love you".
+
+She put the gift on her mom's nightstand. She wanted to surprise her mom when she woke up. She went back to her bed and fell asleep. She dreamed of her mom's smile.
+
+The next morning, her mom woke up and saw the gift. She was very surprised and happy. She hugged Lily and thanked her. She said it was the perfect gift. She said Lily was very clever and sweet. Lily felt warm and proud. She said she loved her mom too. They had a good day together.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy cars on the street. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made noises like vroom and beep as they drove them around.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck parked on the street. It was a mighty truck with a large drum that spun around. Ben and Lily were curious and went closer to look at it.
+
+"Hello, kids," said a man who came out of the truck. "Do you know what this truck is?"
+
+"No, what is it?" asked Ben.
+
+"It's a mixer truck. It mixes cement for buildings and roads. Do you want to see how it works?" said the man.
+
+"Yes, please!" said Lily.
+
+The man opened a small door on the side of the drum and showed them the cement inside. It was gray and wet and sticky.
+
+"See, the drum spins and mixes the cement with water and sand and gravel. Then, when it's ready, it comes out of this hose and goes where we need it," said the man.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" said Ben.
+
+"Can we mix something too?" asked Lily.
+
+"Sure, why not? I have some empty cans and spoons and water. You can mix whatever you want," said the man.
+
+He gave them the cans and spoons and water and let them use some of the sand and gravel from his truck. Ben and Lily were happy and started to mix their own cement.
+
+They mixed and mixed and mixed until they had a big pile of cement. They used their toy cars to make shapes and patterns on it. They had fun and thanked the man for letting them mix.
+
+The man smiled and said, "You're welcome, kids. You're very good mixers. Maybe one day you'll grow up to be mighty builders like me."
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. But they did not like to share the blocks. Lily wanted the red blocks and Ben wanted the blue blocks.
+
+"Give me that block!" Lily said to Ben, grabbing a blue block from his hand.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said, pulling the block back. "You have enough red blocks!"
+
+They started to tug and pull on the block, making loud noises. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"Stop fighting, you two!" Mom said. "You have to share the blocks. There are enough for both of you."
+
+"But I want this block!" Lily and Ben said at the same time.
+
+Mom sighed. She looked at the clock. "You have five minutes to play with the blocks. Then you have to clean up and get ready for bed. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They did not want to go to bed. They wanted to play more. They decided to stop fighting and try to build something together. They put the blue block on top of a red block and made a bridge. Then they added more blocks and made a train. They were having fun.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily pushed the train too hard and it crashed into the bridge. The bridge fell down and the blocks went flying. Some of the blocks hit the lamp and the lamp fell over. The lamp was broken. The light went out.
+
+Lily and Ben gasped. They were scared. They heard Mom coming.
+
+"What was that?" Mom said. "What did you do?"
+
+Lily and Ben did not know what to say. They felt sorry. They broke the lamp. They broke the rules. They broke their fun.
+
+The end.
+Sara was a rich girl who had many toys and dresses. She liked to play with her dolls and pretend they were her friends. One day, her mom said she had a surprise for her. She took Sara to a big house with a big yard. There, Sara saw a small dog with brown fur and a black nose. He was wagging his tail and barking.
+
+"Who is this, mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"This is Max, your new friend. He is a puppy who needs a home and a family. Do you want to introduce yourself to him?" mom said.
+
+Sara nodded and walked slowly to the puppy. She bent down and held out her hand. The puppy sniffed her hand and licked it. Then he jumped on her lap and licked her face. Sara giggled and hugged him.
+
+"Hi, Max. I'm Sara. I'm happy to meet you. You are so cute and soft. Do you want to play with me?" Sara said.
+
+Max barked and wagged his tail. He nodded and jumped off her lap. He ran to a ball and brought it back to Sara. Sara threw the ball and Max chased it. They played for a long time, until they were both tired and thirsty. Sara gave Max some water and a treat. She noticed that he had a small wound on his heel.
+
+"Mom, look. Max has a boo-boo on his heel. Does it hurt?" Sara asked.
+
+Mom looked at the wound and said, "Don't worry, Sara. It's not a big boo-boo. It will heal soon. Max was a stray dog who lived on the streets. He had no home and no family. He had to find his own food and avoid danger. He was very brave and smart, but also very lonely. That's why we adopted him. We want to give him a home and a family. We want to make him happy and healthy."
+
+Sara hugged Max and said, "I'm glad you adopted him, mom. I love him already. He is my friend and my brother. I will take good care of him and play with him every day. He will never be lonely again."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I'm proud of you, Sara. You are a kind and generous girl. You and Max will be very happy together."
+
+Sara and Max smiled and licked each other. They were happy and grateful. They had found a home and a family. They had found each other.
+Anna loves her new blouse. It is pink and has flowers on it. She wants to show it to her friend Lily. She puts on her blouse and goes to Lily's house.
+
+Lily opens the door and smiles. She sees Anna's blouse and says, "Wow, your blouse is so pretty! I like it a lot!"
+
+"Thank you, Lily! Do you want to play with me?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, let's play!" Lily says. They go to Lily's room and find her toys. They have a lot of fun playing with dolls, cars, and blocks.
+
+But then, they hear a loud bark. It is Lily's dog, Max. He is big and hairy. He runs into the room and jumps on the bed. He sees Anna's blouse and thinks it is a toy. He grabs it with his teeth and pulls it.
+
+"Max, no! Bad dog!" Lily shouts. She tries to get the blouse from Max, but he is too strong. He rips the blouse and makes a hole in it.
+
+Anna feels sad and angry. She cries and says, "Max, you are a bad dog! You ruined my blouse! I don't like you!"
+
+Lily feels sorry and hugs Anna. She says, "I'm so sorry, Anna. Max didn't mean to hurt your blouse. He is a good dog, but he likes to play too much. I will ask my mom to fix your blouse. Please don't be mad at Max. He loves you, too."
+
+Anna stops crying and looks at Max. He wags his tail and licks her face. He looks sorry, too. Anna smiles and says, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive Max. He is a good dog, but he needs to learn not to bite clothes. I love you, Lily. And I love you, Max."
+Lily and Tom were happy to go to Grandma's house. They liked to play with Grandma's toys and eat her cookies. They had a big bag with their clothes and books. They wanted to unpack and see Grandma.
+
+But when they got to Grandma's house, they saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth. The dog was barking and growling. Grandma was not there. She had gone to the store.
+
+"Who is that dog?" Lily asked. "I don't like that dog."
+
+"Me neither," Tom said. "Maybe he is Grandma's friend. Maybe he is hungry. Let's give him some beef. Maybe he will be nice."
+
+Tom opened the bag and took out a package of beef. He threw it to the dog. The dog ran to the beef and ate it. He licked his lips and looked at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Good dog," Tom said. "See, he is not so bad. He is funny. He likes beef."
+
+But the dog was not funny. He was still hungry. He wanted more beef. He wanted Tom and Lily. He jumped at them and bit them. They screamed and cried. They dropped the bag and ran away. The dog chased them and tore their clothes and books.
+
+Grandma came back and saw the mess. She saw the dog and the beef and the bag. She saw Tom and Lily bleeding and crying. She was very angry and sad.
+
+"Bad dog!" Grandma shouted. "Go away! You are not my friend. You hurt my grandchildren. You are a bad dog!"
+
+She took a stick and hit the dog. The dog ran away. Grandma hugged Tom and Lily and took them to the doctor. She said she was sorry. She said she would buy them new clothes and books. She said she would never let the dog come back.
+
+But Tom and Lily were not happy. They were hurt and scared. They did not want to go to Grandma's house anymore. They did not want to unpack and see Grandma. They did not want to play with Grandma's toys and eat her cookies. They did not think the dog was funny. They thought the dog was bad. They thought the story had a bad ending.
+Anna and Ben are hungry. They want to eat lunch. But Mom is busy. She is working on her laptop.
+
+"Mom, can we have lunch?" Anna asks.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish this report. Maybe in half an hour," Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They look around the kitchen. They see a big bowl of fruit on the table. They see bananas, apples, oranges, and grapes.
+
+"Can we have some fruit, Mom?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, you can have one piece each. But wash your hands first," Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They run to the sink. They turn on the faucet. They rub their hands with soap. They rinse their hands with water. They dry their hands with a towel.
+
+They go back to the table. They each pick a fruit. Anna picks a banana. Ben picks an apple. They peel and bite their fruit.
+
+"Yum, this is good," Anna says.
+
+"I like it too," Ben says.
+
+They see a light on the wall. It is a switch. They wonder what it does.
+
+"Let's try it," Anna says.
+
+"OK," Ben says.
+
+They reach for the switch. They flip it up and down. The light in the kitchen goes on and off. On and off. On and off.
+
+"Wow, this is fun," Anna says.
+
+"Look, Mom, we can make the light go on and off," Ben says.
+
+Mom looks up from her laptop. She sees Anna and Ben playing with the switch. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop that, you two. You are wasting electricity. And you might break the switch. Leave it alone," Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They stop playing with the switch. They finish their fruit. They throw the peels and cores in the trash.
+
+"Can we play with our toys now, Mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, you can. But be quiet, please. I still have to work," Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are bored. They want to do something else. They look at each other. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's go to the park, Mom," Ben says.
+
+"Please, Mom, can we go to the park?" Anna says.
+
+Mom sighs. She looks at her laptop. She looks at Anna and Ben. They have big eyes and hopeful smiles.
+
+"OK, fine. Let's go to the park. But only for a little while. And you have to listen to me and stay close," Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are excited. They grab their coats and shoes. They help Mom pack a bag. They go to the car. They buckle their seat belts. They drive to the park.
+
+They see swings, slides, sand, and trees. They see other kids and dogs. They see birds and flowers. They see the sun and the sky.
+
+They run and play and laugh. They have fun. They forget about being hungry. They forget about the light. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She smiles and watches them. She forgets about her report. She forgets about her laptop. She is happy.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to do many things together. They like to play with cars, balls and blocks. They like to run, jump and laugh.
+
+One day, they go to the town with their moms. The town is big and busy. There are many people, cars and shops. Tom and Sam see a big red bus. The bus is fast and loud. They want to ride the bus.
+
+They ask their moms if they can ride the bus. Their moms say yes. They buy tickets and get on the bus. The bus driver says hello. He gives them stickers. Tom and Sam are happy.
+
+The bus goes fast around the town. It stops and starts. It honks and beeps. Tom and Sam look out the window. They see many things. They see a park, a zoo, a library and a fire station. They wave to the people and animals they see.
+
+They have fun on the bus. They sing songs, tell jokes and make faces. They do not want the bus ride to end. But soon, the bus comes back to where they started. They say thank you and goodbye to the bus driver. They get off the bus.
+
+They tell their moms what they saw and did on the bus. Their moms are proud and happy. They hug and kiss them. They say it is time to go home. Tom and Sam agree. They are tired and hungry. They say bye to each other. They promise to play again soon. They go home with their moms. They have a good nap and a good snack. They dream of the bus and the town. They are happy.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big skull in the yard. It is white and hard and has many teeth.
+
+"Wow, look at this skull!" Ben says. "It is so cool. I want to keep it."
+
+"No, I want to keep it!" Sam says. "It is mine. I saw it first."
+
+They start to fight over the skull. They pull and push and shout.
+
+Mom hears them and comes outside. She sees the skull and is surprised.
+
+"Where did you get that skull?" she asks. "It is not a toy. It is a real skull. It belongs to an animal."
+
+"An animal?" Ben and Sam say. "What kind of animal?"
+
+Mom says, "It is a dinosaur skull. A very old and intelligent animal. It lived a long time ago, before people. It is very rare and valuable. Someone must have lost it or buried it here."
+
+"A dinosaur skull?" Ben and Sam say. "Wow, that is amazing. Can we keep it?"
+
+Mom says, "No, you cannot keep it. It is not fair to the dinosaur or to the people who study them. We have to call the museum and tell them we found it. Maybe they will give us a reward or let us visit the museum."
+
+Ben and Sam think about it. They are sad to lose the skull, but they are also curious about the museum and the reward.
+
+"Okay, Mom," they say. "We will sell the skull to the museum. But can we take a picture of it first?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, of course. You can take a picture of it and keep it as a memory. You are very brave and honest boys. I am proud of you."
+
+She hugs them and takes a picture of them with the skull. Then she calls the museum and tells them the news. The museum is very happy and sends a truck to pick up the skull. Ben and Sam wave goodbye to the skull and look forward to their reward and their visit. They have had a very exciting day.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big white dog with a chain around its neck. The dog looked sad and scared. It was tied to a tree.
+
+"Who is that dog?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone left it here," Ben said.
+
+"Can we help it?" Lily said.
+
+Ben looked around. He saw a key on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the dog.
+
+"Hello, dog. Don't be afraid. We are your friends," Ben said. He tried to unlock the chain with the key.
+
+The dog wagged its tail and licked Ben's face. It was happy and grateful.
+
+"Good job, Ben. You unlocked the chain. Now the dog is free," Lily said.
+
+They hugged the dog and played with it. They gave it some water and biscuits.
+
+Soon, a man came running to the park. He was looking for the dog.
+
+"Snowy, Snowy, where are you?" he called.
+
+The dog heard the man and barked. It ran to him and jumped on him.
+
+"Snowy, I'm so sorry. I lost your key. I was looking for you everywhere. I'm so glad you're safe," the man said.
+
+He saw Lily and Ben and thanked them.
+
+"Thank you, kids. You are very kind and brave. You saved my dog. He is my best friend. He is very old and sick. He needs a lot of care and love," he said.
+
+He gave them a hug and a reward.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy they helped the dog and the man.
+
+They learned that it is good to help others in need. They also learned that animals are friends, not things. They should be treated with respect and compassion.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the sand near the sea. They made castles and tunnels and bridges with their buckets and shovels. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs and shells in the water. They were happy.
+
+One day, they saw a big octopus on the shore. It had eight long arms and a round head. It was purple and slimy. Tom and Lily were curious. They wanted to touch it and see what it felt like.
+
+"Can we play with the octopus?" Tom asked his mom, who was sitting on a towel.
+
+"No, you can't," his mom said. "The octopus is not a toy. It might bite you or squirt ink at you. It belongs in the sea. Leave it alone."
+
+But Tom and Lily did not listen. They waited until their mom was busy reading a book. Then they ran to the octopus and poked it with their fingers. The octopus did not like that. It was angry.
+
+The octopus grabbed Tom and Lily with its arms and pulled them into the water. It was strong and fast. Tom and Lily screamed and tried to get away, but they could not. The octopus took them deeper and deeper into the sea. They could not breathe. They were scared.
+
+Their mom heard their screams and looked up. She saw the octopus and her children disappearing into the waves. She was shocked and sad. She ran to the water and called for help, but it was too late. The octopus did not allow Tom and Lily to come back. They were gone.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a big teddy bear that she loved very much. Max had a small car that he liked to zoom around.
+
+Then, the doorbell rang. It was their cousin Jake, who came to visit. Jake was older than Lily and Max, and he brought a new toy with him. It was a superhero figure that could fly and shoot lasers. Jake showed off his toy to Lily and Max and said, "Look at my hero! He is the best toy ever! He can do anything!"
+
+Lily and Max were curious and wanted to see the hero. But Jake did not let them touch it. He said, "No, this is mine! You can't play with it! You have boring toys!" He flew his hero around the room and made it shoot lasers at Lily's teddy bear and Max's car. Lily and Max were scared and angry. They felt jealous of Jake and his hero.
+
+Lily said, "Stop it, Jake! You are being mean! You are hurting our toys!" Max said, "Yeah, Jake! You are not nice! You are not a hero, you are a villain!" They tried to grab the hero from Jake, but he was too fast and strong. They started to cry and shout.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw what was happening and said, "Jake, what are you doing? You are not being a good guest! You are not sharing your toy and you are hurting Lily and Max's toys! That is not how you play!" She took the hero from Jake and gave it back to him. She said, "You need to apologize to Lily and Max and say sorry. And you need to let them play with your toy too, if they want. Or you can play with their toys. They have nice toys too, you know."
+
+Jake felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Max. I was being mean and jealous. I wanted to show you my hero, but I did not want to share it. Can we be friends again?" Lily and Max nodded and said, "It's okay, Jake. We forgive you. We want to be friends too." They hugged and smiled. They decided to play together with all their toys. They took turns flying the hero, cuddling the teddy bear, and zooming the car. They had a lot of fun and learned to share and be kind. They were all heroes in their own way.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big penguin. The penguin was soft and fluffy and had a red bow tie. They hugged the penguin and made it talk.
+
+"Hello, I am Pingo the penguin. I like to swim and eat fish. Do you want to play with me?" the penguin said in Ben's voice.
+
+"Yes, we do! You are our best friend, Pingo. Let's have a tea party!" Mia said in a high voice.
+
+They brought a small table and some cups and plates from the house. They filled the cups with water and pretended it was tea. They gave some to the penguin and some to themselves. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, it started to rain. The rain was heavy and cold. Ben and Mia ran inside the house, but they forgot to take the penguin with them. The penguin was left on the table in the garden. The rain soaked the penguin and made it wet and dirty. The penguin felt sad and lonely.
+
+The next day, the sun came out. Ben and Mia remembered the penguin and ran to the garden. But they did not recognize the penguin. The penguin was not soft and fluffy anymore. It was brown and smelly and had bugs on it. The penguin had rotted in the rain.
+
+"Yuck! What is that? It is not our penguin!" Ben said.
+
+"It is our penguin, Ben. But it is very messy. We left it in the rain and it rotted. We are bad friends, Ben. We made the penguin sick." Mia said.
+
+They felt sorry for the penguin. They wanted to make it better. They took the penguin to the house and tried to wash it and dry it. But it was too late. The penguin was ruined. They cried and hugged the penguin.
+
+"I am sorry, Pingo. We love you. We will not forget you again." Ben said.
+
+"Me too, Pingo. We love you. We will get you a new bow tie." Mia said.
+
+They buried the penguin in the garden and planted some flowers on it. They said goodbye to the penguin and thanked it for being their friend. They learned to take care of their toys and not leave them in the rain. They missed the penguin, but they knew it was happy in the garden.
+Lila was a bunny who loved to eat radishes. She had a garden where she grew many radishes of different colors and sizes. Every day, she would pick some radishes and munch on them happily.
+
+One day, it was very gloomy outside. The sky was gray and the wind was cold. Lila did not want to go out to her garden. She stayed inside her cozy burrow and played with her toys. She felt a little bored and hungry.
+
+She decided to go to her friend Milo's burrow. Milo was a mouse who liked to eat cheese. Lila hoped that Milo would share some cheese with her. She put on her scarf and hat and went outside.
+
+She knocked on Milo's door. "Milo, are you there?" she called.
+
+"Yes, I am here, Lila. Come in, come in!" Milo said. He opened the door and smiled. He saw that Lila was shivering. "You look cold, Lila. Why did you come out on such a gloomy day?"
+
+"I wanted to see you, Milo. And I was hungry. Do you have any cheese?" Lila asked.
+
+"Of course, I have cheese, Lila. I have a lot of cheese. Come, I will show you." Milo said. He led Lila to his kitchen, where he had a big pile of cheese on a plate. "You can have as much cheese as you want, Lila. But I have a question for you. Do you have any radishes?"
+
+Lila nodded. "Yes, I have radishes, Milo. I have a lot of radishes. Why do you ask?"
+
+"Because I love radishes, Lila. I love them as much as you love cheese. But I don't have a garden like you. I only have a few radishes that I found in the trash. They are not very good. Can I have some of your radishes?" Milo asked.
+
+Lila smiled. She was happy that Milo liked radishes too. She thought of her garden, where she had many radishes waiting for her. She had an idea. "How about this, Milo? I will give you some of my radishes, and you will give me some of your cheese. Then we can both have what we like. And we can eat them together. What do you say?"
+
+Milo clapped his hands. He liked Lila's idea. He agreed to trade some cheese for some radishes. He and Lila closed the door and went back to Lila's burrow. They carried the cheese and the radishes in a basket. They did not mind the gloomy weather anymore. They were happy to have each other as friends. And they were happy to have cheese and radishes to share.
+Ben and Mia like to play with their sail. It is a toy boat with a big cloth on a stick. They put the sail in a big tub of water and make it go fast with their hands. They pretend they are pirates and look for treasure.
+
+One day, they find a shiny coin in the water. Ben says, "Look, Mia, we are rich! This is our treasure!" Mia says, "Wow, Ben, it is so shiny! Can I hold it?" Ben says, "OK, but be careful. It is wet and slippery."
+
+Mia takes the coin and looks at it. She sees a picture of a man with a hat and a beard. She says, "Who is this man, Ben? Is he a pirate too?" Ben says, "I don't know, Mia. Maybe he is the king of the pirates. Maybe he hid this coin for us to find."
+
+Mia says, "He is very nice, then. Can we keep the coin, Ben?" Ben says, "Yes, Mia, we can keep it. It is our treasure. But we have to hide it from Mom and Dad. They might take it away."
+
+Mia says, "OK, Ben, we will hide it. But where?" Ben says, "Let's hide it in the sail. It is dry and soft. No one will look there." Mia says, "Good idea, Ben. Let's do that."
+
+They put the coin in the sail and fold it. They take the sail out of the water and put it in their toy box. They are very happy. They drink some juice and eat some cookies. They think about their treasure and smile. They are the best pirates ever.
+Lily loved her classroom. It was big and bright and had many toys and books. She liked to play with her friends and learn new things from her teacher. Every morning, she was cheerful and happy to go to school.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new boy in her classroom. His name was Ben and he looked shy and sad. He did not talk to anyone and he did not play with any toys. He just sat in a corner and hugged his teddy bear. Lily felt sorry for him and wanted to help him.
+
+She went to Ben and smiled at him. She said, "Hi, I am Lily. Do you want to be my friend?" Ben looked at her and nodded. He said, "Hi, I am Ben. I am new here and I miss my old school." Lily said, "I understand. It is hard to change schools. But this is a nice school and you will make many friends here. Do you want to play with me and my teddy bear?" Ben said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind."
+
+Lily and Ben played together and had fun. They shared their teddy bears and their stories. They laughed and sang and drew pictures. They became good friends and soon Ben felt more comfortable and happy in his classroom. He also made friends with other children and joined their games. Lily was glad that she helped Ben and that he loved his classroom too. She thought that he was a cheerful and sweet boy. She loved her classroom and her friends even more.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big, furry dog with a long tail. Lily liked dogs. She ran to the dog and said, "Hello, doggy! Can I pet you?" The dog wagged its tail and licked Lily's face. Lily laughed and hugged the dog.
+
+Tom was scared of dogs. He stayed away from the dog and said, "Lily, come back! The dog might bite you!" Lily did not listen to Tom. She said, "No, Tom, the dog is nice. He is soft and warm. He likes me."
+
+The dog saw a squirrel in a tree. He barked and ran to the tree. He pulled Lily with him. Lily did not let go of the dog. She said, "Doggy, where are you going? Wait for me!" The dog jumped and tried to catch the squirrel. He did not see the road. He did not see the car.
+
+The car honked and hit the dog. The dog yelped and fell. Lily fell too. She hurt her leg and her head. She cried and said, "Doggy, doggy, are you okay?" The dog did not move. He did not wag his tail. He did not lick Lily's face. He was dead.
+
+Tom ran to Lily and said, "Lily, Lily, are you okay?" He saw the blood and the dog. He was sad and scared. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I tried to warn you. You should have listened to me. You should not squeeze the dog so hard. You should not run with the dog. You should be careful of the road. You should be careful of the car."
+
+Lily said, "Tom, I'm sorry. I did not listen to you. I did not squeeze the dog. I loved the dog. I wanted to pet the dog. I wanted to play with the dog. I did not see the road. I did not see the car. I was not careful. I was silly."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged and cried. They learned a lesson. They learned to listen to each other. They learned to be careful of animals. They learned to be careful of the road. They learned to be careful of the car. They learned to be sorry. They learned to be sad.
+Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. They liked to observe them and learn their names.
+
+Then they came to the big tank with water and fish. Mom said, "Look, there is an octopus!" Tom and Lily looked and saw a small octopus with eight arms. It was hiding under a rock.
+
+"Can we say hello to the octopus?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be gentle and quiet," Mom said. "Octopuses are shy and smart."
+
+Tom and Lily waved their hands at the octopus. The octopus peeked out from the rock and waved back. Tom and Lily smiled and clapped.
+
+"Hello, octopus!" they said. "You are very cute and clever!"
+
+The octopus seemed to like them. It came out more and showed them its colors and shapes. It made Tom and Lily laugh and wonder.
+
+They had a lot of fun with the octopus. They thanked it for being their friend and said goodbye. They hoped to see it again soon.
+Tom and Lily went to the grocery with Mom. They saw many things there: apples, bananas, bread, milk, eggs, and more. Tom and Lily liked to look at everything and help Mom put things in the cart.
+
+But then they saw something weird. A man was wearing a big hat with a bow on it. The bow was red and shiny and had many loops. Tom and Lily thought the hat was funny and silly. They pointed at the man and laughed.
+
+"Look, Mom, look! A bow hat!" Tom said.
+
+"Ha ha, a bow hat!" Lily said.
+
+Mom heard them and felt bad. She told them to stop laughing and be nice.
+
+"That's not nice, Tom and Lily. You should not laugh at people who are different. Maybe the man likes his hat. Maybe it makes him happy. How would you feel if someone laughed at you?" Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not want to hurt the man's feelings. They did not want to be laughed at either. They looked at the man and saw that he was sad. He heard them laughing and felt bad too.
+
+Tom and Lily wanted to make the man feel better. They walked up to him and smiled.
+
+"Hello, sir. We like your hat. It is very pretty. Can we see your bow?" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, sir. Your bow is very shiny. Can we touch it?" Lily said.
+
+The man was surprised. He saw that Tom and Lily were sorry and wanted to be friendly. He smiled back and nodded.
+
+"Hello, children. Thank you for liking my hat. It is a special hat. My grandma made it for me. She said it was a lucky hat. You can see my bow and touch it if you want." The man said.
+
+Tom and Lily were happy. They looked at the bow and touched it gently. It was soft and smooth. They liked the bow and the man.
+
+"Wow, your grandma is very nice. She made you a lucky hat. We are sorry we laughed at you. We did not mean to be mean. We want to be your friends." Tom said.
+
+"Yes, we are sorry. We want to be your friends too. Can we give you a hug?" Lily said.
+
+The man was touched. He felt happy and lucky. He hugged Tom and Lily and thanked them.
+
+"Thank you, children. You are very nice and kind. You made me feel happy and lucky too. I am glad to be your friend. Can I give you a bow?" The man said.
+
+He took off his hat and gave it to Tom and Lily. They put it on and laughed. They liked the hat and the bow. They looked at Mom and waved.
+
+"Look, Mom, look! A bow hat!" Tom said.
+
+"Ha ha, a bow hat!" Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and nodded. She was proud of Tom and Lily. They learned to be respectful and friendly. They made a new friend and got a lucky hat. They had a good day at the grocery.
+Lily liked to play with her hero toy. It was a small doll that looked like a fireman. He had a red hat, a yellow coat and a big hose. He could glow in the dark, too. Lily liked to make him save her other toys from pretend fires.
+
+One night, Lily heard a loud noise outside her window. She got up and looked. She saw a big fire in the house next door. She saw real firemen running and spraying water. She saw smoke and flames and sparks. She felt scared and hot.
+
+She ran to her bed and grabbed her hero toy. She hugged him tight and wished he could help the real firemen. She saw him glow in the dark. She had an idea. She ran to her door and opened it. She saw her mom and dad in the hall. They looked worried and told her to stay in her room.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran past them and out of the house. She ran to the firemen and showed them her hero toy. She said, "He can glow! He can help you find people in the dark!"
+
+The firemen looked at her and smiled. They thanked her and took her hero toy. They used him to shine light in the windows and doors of the burning house. They found a cat and a dog and a baby and brought them out safely. They gave Lily back her hero toy and praised her for being brave and smart.
+
+Lily felt happy and proud. She hugged her hero toy and thanked him for being a real hero. She ran back to her house and hugged her mom and dad. They told her they loved her and they were sorry for being angry. They tucked her in her bed and kissed her goodnight. She fell asleep with her hero toy in her arms. He glowed in the dark and kept her warm.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the bathtub. They had many toys, like ducks and boats and bubbles. One day, they wanted to have a big bath with lots of water. They turned on the tap and watched the bathtub fill up.
+
+"Let's make it faster!" said Max. He turned the tap more and more. The water came out very fast and made a loud noise.
+
+"Stop, Max! It's too much!" said Lily. She saw the water get higher and higher. It was almost at the top of the bathtub. "We will make a mess!"
+
+But Max did not listen. He liked the fast water. He laughed and splashed and made waves. Lily was scared and angry. She tried to turn off the tap, but it was too hard.
+
+Suddenly, the water spilled over the edge of the bathtub. It wet the floor and the rug and the towels. It made a big puddle. Lily and Max heard a knock on the door. It was their mom.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. She saw the water and the mess. She was not happy. She turned off the tap and took Lily and Max out of the bathtub. She dried them and put them in their pajamas. She cleaned the bathroom and the floor.
+
+She told Lily and Max to sit on the couch. She looked at them with a serious face. She said, "You were very naughty. You wasted a lot of water and made a lot of trouble. You should not turn the tap so fast. You should listen to each other and be careful. Water is precious and we should use it wisely. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We won't do it again. We love you."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too. But next time, please be more responsible and respectful. Now, go to bed and have sweet dreams."
+
+Lily and Max went to bed and said good night. They learned their lesson and never played with the tap again. They still enjoyed their baths, but they used less water and more toys. They were happy and good twins.
+Lily liked peanuts. She liked to eat them when she was hungry. She liked how they were crunchy and tasty. She had a big jar of peanuts in her room.
+
+One day, Lily saw a squirrel outside her window. The squirrel was looking for food. It had a bushy tail and a cute nose. Lily wanted to be friends with the squirrel. She opened her window and called to the squirrel.
+
+"Hello, squirrel! Do you want some peanuts?" Lily asked.
+
+The squirrel looked at Lily and nodded. It ran to the window and climbed on the sill. Lily smiled and gave the squirrel a peanut. The squirrel took the peanut and ate it. It made a happy sound.
+
+"Thank you, Lily! This is a very tasty peanut!" the squirrel said.
+
+"You're welcome, squirrel! Do you mind if I give you another one?" Lily asked.
+
+The squirrel shook its head. It did not mind. It liked peanuts too. Lily gave the squirrel another peanut. The squirrel ate it and made another happy sound.
+
+"Thank you, Lily! You are very kind!" the squirrel said.
+
+Lily and the squirrel became friends. They shared peanuts and talked. They had fun. Lily was glad she met the squirrel. The squirrel was glad he met Lily. They both liked peanuts. They both liked each other.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to eat pizza with their mom and dad. Today is Friday, so they can order pizza for dinner.
+
+"Can I order pizza, mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, honey. What kind of pizza do you want?" mom says.
+
+"I want cheese pizza with pepper. Pepper is tasty and spicy," Tom says.
+
+"I want cheese pizza too, but no pepper. Pepper is too hot for me," Lily says.
+
+"Okay, then. One cheese pizza with pepper and one cheese pizza without pepper. Is that good?" mom says.
+
+"Yes, mom. Thank you, mom," Tom and Lily say.
+
+Mom calls the pizza place and orders the pizza. She tells them her name and address. She says they will pay when the pizza comes.

+Lily and Sam went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish and crabs and shells. But they also saw something that looked like a big, clear balloon with long strings. It was a jellyfish.
+
+"Look, Sam, a jellyfish!" Lily said, pointing at it. "It is so pretty and shiny. Can we touch it?"
+
+Sam shook his head. "No, Lily, we can't touch it. Mom and Dad said jellyfish can hurt us. They have stings on their strings. They can make us cry and itch."
+
+Lily frowned. She wanted to touch the jellyfish. It looked so soft and smooth. She wondered how it felt. She had an idea. "Let's play a game, Sam. Let's guess what the jellyfish feels like. I will go first. I guess the jellyfish feels like...a bubble!"
+
+Sam smiled. He liked games. He thought for a moment. "I guess the jellyfish feels like...a wet noodle!"
+
+They took turns guessing what the jellyfish felt like. They guessed it felt like a feather, a slime, a candy, a sock, and many other things. They laughed and had fun.
+
+Then they heard Mom and Dad calling them. It was time to go home. They waved goodbye to the jellyfish and ran to their parents. They told them about their game and what they guessed.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They were proud of their children for being curious and creative. They also told them that jellyfish are mighty animals. They can live in many places and survive many things. They are not just balloons with strings. They are amazing and wonderful.
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They learned something new. They liked jellyfish, but they also respected them. They decided to look at them from afar, but not touch them. They thanked Mom and Dad for taking them to the beach. They had a great day.
+Tom is a cat. He has soft fur and sharp claws. He likes to play with mice and birds. One day, he finds a big fish on the street. He thinks it is a good snack. He bites the fish and tries to drag it to his home.
+
+But the fish is hard and smelly. It does not taste good. It makes Tom's mouth hurt. He spits out the fish and coughs. He sees that the fish has many holes and spots. It is not fresh. It is rot.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom says. "This fish is bad. It is rot. I do not want it."
+
+He hears a voice behind him. It is Ben, a dog. Ben has rough fur and big teeth. He does not like cats. He likes to chase them and bark at them.
+
+"Ha ha!" Ben says. "You are a silly cat. You tried to eat a rot fish. It is not food. It is trash. You are a trash cat."
+
+Tom is angry. He does not like Ben. He does not like his voice or his fur or his teeth. He hisses at Ben and shows his claws.
+
+"Go away!" Tom says. "You are a mean dog. You do not know anything. You eat bones and kibble. You are a boring dog."
+
+Ben growls at Tom and shows his teeth. He wants to fight. He thinks he is stronger and smarter than Tom. He jumps at Tom and tries to bite him.
+
+But Tom is fast and clever. He dodges Ben and scratches his nose. He makes Ben bleed and cry. He runs away from Ben and finds a safe place. He licks his fur and cleans his mouth. He decides to look for a better snack. He does not want to see Ben or the rot fish ever again.

+Lily liked to grow radishes in her garden. She watered them every day and watched them get bigger and bigger. She was very proud of her radishes. They were purple and round and juicy.
+
+One day, she saw a big rabbit in her garden. The rabbit was hungry and wanted to eat the radishes. Lily was scared and angry. She shouted at the rabbit, "Go away! These are my radishes! You cannot have them!"
+
+But the rabbit did not listen. He sprang over the fence and ran to the radishes. He bit off the tops and dug up the roots. He ate them all up, one by one. Lily cried and cried. She had no more radishes.
+
+The rabbit was full and happy. He wiped his mouth and hopped away. He did not care about Lily or her garden. He only cared about himself.
+
+Lily was very sad. She had worked hard to grow her radishes. She had no more seeds to plant. She had no more radishes to eat or share. She wished the rabbit had been nice and asked her for some. She wished she had a friend to help her. She wished she had never seen the rabbit.

+"Are we there yet?" Lily asks.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We have to take the regular exit to get to grandma's house," dad says.
+
+They drive for a long time. They see many cars and trucks on the road. They see a big sign that says "Exit 12".
+
+"Look, dad, there is the exit!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, that's the one. We have to turn right here," dad says.
+
+But dad is too late. He misses the exit. He tries to go back, but there is no space. He hits the brakes, but it is too late. He crashes into another car. The car makes a loud noise. The bags fly out of the window. The toys and clothes are everywhere.

+Lila and her mom and dad were going on a big trip. They had to take a plane to see grandma and grandpa in another country. Lila was very excited. She had a small bag with her toys and books and a passport. A passport was a special book with her name and picture that said she could go to other places.
+
+They got to the airport and waited in a long line. Lila saw many people with different clothes and bags and passports. She heard them talk in different sounds. She wondered what they were saying. She wanted to learn new words.
+
+When it was their turn, they gave their passports to a man in a uniform. He looked at them and smiled. He stamped them with a loud noise and gave them back. He said they could go to the plane. Lila thanked him and followed her mom and dad.
+
+They walked to a big window and saw the plane. It was white and blue and had a big wing on each side. It looked like a bird. Lila wanted to fly like a bird. She saw the sun shine on the plane. It made it sparkle. She thought it was beautiful.
+
+They got on the plane and found their seats. They buckled their belts and listened to a lady tell them what to do. She said they would fly for a long time and then land in a hot place. Lila wondered how hot it would be. She hoped grandma and grandpa would have ice cream.
+
+The plane started to move and then went up in the air. Lila looked out the window and saw the clouds. They were white and fluffy and looked like cotton candy. She wanted to touch them. She saw the sun shine on them too. It made them glow. She thought it was magical.

+
+One day, Tom has an idea. He says to Sue, "Let's make a fancy letter. A letter that is not like the others. A letter that can become something else."
+
+Sue thinks that is a fun idea. She says, "How do we make a fancy letter?"
+
+Tom says, "We use two letters and put them together. Like this." He takes an L and an O and sticks them on the wall. He says, "Look, this is an L and this is an O. But if we put them together, they become a heart."
+
+Sue likes the heart. She says, "That is a fancy letter. Can we make more?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, we can. Let's see what else we can make." He takes an A and a T and sticks them on the wall. He says, "This is an A and this is a T. But if we put them together, they become a hat."
+
+Sue laughs. She says, "That is a funny hat. I want to wear it." She pretends to put the hat on her head.
+
+Tom and Sue have fun making more fancy letters. They make a dog, a fish, a star, and a sun. They are very happy and proud of their fancy letters. They show them to their mom and dad, who say, "Wow, you are very clever. You made some beautiful fancy letters."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big tree with red fruits. They wanted to try them.
+
+"Look, Lily, red fruits! Maybe they are sweet and juicy. Let's pick some and eat them," Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful. The tree is very high and the fruits are hard to reach. Don't fall and hurt yourself," Lily said.
+
+Ben climbed the tree and picked some fruits. He threw one to Lily and kept one for himself. They bit into the fruits and made a face.
+
+"Yuck! These fruits are sour and bitter. They make my mouth hurt. They are not good to eat," Lily said.
+
+"Me too. These fruits are bad. They make my tummy ache. I don't like them," Ben said.
+
+They threw away the fruits and climbed down the tree. But Ben slipped and fell. He landed on the ground and cried.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow! My leg is broken. It hurts so much. Help me, Lily, help me," Ben said.
+
+Lily ran to Ben and hugged him. She tried to comfort him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry. You have pain. I will get help. Don't cry, don't cry," Lily said.
+
+She looked around and saw a man walking his dog. She waved and shouted.
+
+"Help, help! My friend is hurt. He needs a doctor. Please help us," Lily said.
+
+The man heard Lily and came closer. He saw Ben lying on the ground with a twisted leg. He frowned and shook his head.
+
+"I'm sorry, little girl, but I can't help you. I have to go. My dog is sick and I have to take him to the vet. You have to accept your pain and deal with it yourself. Goodbye," the man said.
+
+He walked away with his dog and left Ben and Lily alone. They felt scared and sad. They wished they never ate the sour fruits. They wished they never climbed the tree. They wished someone would help them. But no one came. They cried and cried. The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, but they liked some more than others. Ben liked his car and his ball, and Lily liked her doll and her book. They did not like to share their toys with each other.
+
+One day, their mom came home with a big box. She said it was a gift for them. Ben and Lily were very excited. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw a big teddy bear. It was soft and brown and had a red bow around its neck.
+
+"Wow, it's so cute!" Lily said. She reached for the teddy bear, but Ben was faster. He grabbed it and hugged it.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "I saw it first!"
+
+"But I want it too!" Lily said. "It's for both of us!"
+
+They started to pull the teddy bear from each other. They did not care if they hurt it. They only wanted it for themselves.
+
+Their mom saw them and was very sad. She said, "Stop, stop! What are you doing? You are hurting the teddy bear and each other. Don't you know the value of this gift?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at their mom. They did not understand what she meant by value.
+
+"The value of this gift is not how big or soft or cute it is," their mom said. "The value of this gift is the love that I have for you. I gave you this teddy bear because I love you both very much. And I want you to love each other too. The teddy bear is not yours or mine. It is ours. We can share it and play with it together. That is the true value of this gift."
+
+Ben and Lily felt ashamed. They realized they had been selfish and mean. They let go of the teddy bear and looked at each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was wrong. You can have the teddy bear."
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I was wrong too. You can have the teddy bear."
+
+They hugged each other and said, "I love you, brother/sister."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I love you, too, my children. Now, why don't we all stand up and give the teddy bear a big hug?"
+
+They did as their mom said. They stood up and hugged the teddy bear. They felt its warmth and softness. They also felt the love of their mom and each other. They were happy and grateful.
+
+They learned that the value of a gift is not how it looks, but how it makes you feel. And they learned that sharing is better than fighting. They never fought over the teddy bear again. They played with it and with their other toys in peace and joy. They also learned a new word: value. And they never forgot its meaning.
+Lily was playing with her doll in the park. She liked to pretend that her doll was a princess and she was her friend. She gave her doll a crown and a dress and a necklace.
+
+A lady came to the park with her dog. The dog was big and brown and had a long tail. The lady smiled at Lily and said hello. Lily said hello back and showed her doll to the lady.
+
+The dog saw the doll and wanted to play with it. He ran to Lily and grabbed the doll in his mouth. He shook the doll and made it fly in the air. Lily was scared and sad. She cried and shouted, "No, no, give me back my doll!"
+
+The lady was embarrassed and sorry. She ran to the dog and took the doll from him. She said, "Bad dog, bad dog, you can't take other people's toys!" She gave the doll back to Lily and said, "I'm so sorry, he didn't mean to hurt your doll. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily looked at her doll and saw that it was dirty and torn. She felt angry and sad. She said, "You are a mean lady and a mean dog. You ruined my doll. Go away!"
+
+The lady felt bad and wanted to help. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't be mad. Can I fix your doll? I have some glue and some fabric in my bag. Maybe I can make her a new dress and a new crown and a new necklace."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She saw that the lady was kind and sorry. She saw that the dog was quiet and sad. She felt sorry for them too. She said, "Okay, okay, you can try to fix my doll. But be careful, she is a princess and she is my friend."
+
+The lady smiled and thanked Lily. She said, "Thank you, thank you, you are very nice and brave. I will be careful and gentle with your doll. And I will give you a hug and a cookie too."
+
+Lily smiled and thanked the lady. She said, "Thank you, thank you, you are very nice and sorry. I will give you a hug and a cookie too. And I will give your dog a pat and a treat too."
+
+The lady, the dog, and Lily became friends. They fixed the doll and played together in the park. They had fun and they were happy.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a ball, a bike, and a doll. They also had a glass jar where they kept some bugs they found. They liked to watch the bugs crawl and fly.
+
+One day, they saw a lively butterfly with many colors. They wanted to catch it and put it in the jar. They ran after it with a net. But the butterfly was too fast and flew away. They chased it until they reached the road.
+
+"Stop!" a voice shouted. It was their mom. She saw them running to the road and was scared. She ran to them and hugged them. "You could have been hurt by a car. You should never go to the road without me. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They felt sorry. They did not want to make their mom scared or angry. They regretted chasing the butterfly. They hugged their mom back and said they were sorry.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they were safe. She took them back to the garden. She saw the glass jar with the bugs. She said, "Do you know that bugs need air and water and food to live? They are not happy in the jar. They want to be free. How would you feel if someone put you in a jar?"
+
+Ben and Mia looked at the jar. They saw the bugs moving slowly and sadly. They felt sorry for them too. They did not want to make them unhappy. They opened the jar and let the bugs go. They watched them fly and crawl away.
+
+They felt happy to see the bugs free. They said, "Bye, bugs. We hope you find your friends and families. We are sorry we kept you in the jar. We will not do it again."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's very kind of you. I'm proud of you. You learned a good lesson today. Now, let's go and have some juice and cookies. You must be thirsty and hungry after your adventure."
+
+Ben and Mia smiled and followed their mom. They still liked to watch the bugs, but they did not catch them anymore. They learned to respect them and let them be. They also learned to listen to their mom and stay away from the road. They did not regret letting the bugs go. They felt happy and free too.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big magnet in the garage. It is shiny and strong. They want to see what it can do.
+
+"Look, Mia, the magnet can pick up this spoon!" Tim says. He holds the magnet near the spoon and it sticks to it.
+
+"Wow, that is cool!" Mia says. She sees a pair of scissors on the table. "Can it pick up the scissors too?"
+
+Tim nods. He moves the magnet to the scissors and they stick to it too. He feels happy. He wants to show Mia more things.
+
+"Come on, Mia, let's go outside and find more things!" Tim says. He runs to the door with the magnet and the scissors.
+
+"Wait, Tim, we have to tie our shoes first!" Mia says. She stops and bends down to tie her shoes. She is modest and careful.
+
+Tim does not listen. He is too excited. He does not tie his shoes. He opens the door and runs outside. He does not see the big rock on the ground. He trips over the rock and falls down. He cries out in pain. The magnet and the scissors fly out of his hands. The scissors land on his arm and cut him. He bleeds a lot. He is scared and hurt.
+
+Mia hears Tim cry. She runs outside and sees him on the ground. She sees the blood and the scissors. She is shocked and sad. She runs to him and tries to help him. She calls for help.
+
+"Tim, Tim, are you okay?" Mia says. She hugs him and cries.
+
+Tim shakes his head. He feels bad. He wishes he had tied his shoes. He wishes he had not played with the magnet and the scissors. He says he is sorry. He says he is stupid.
+
+Mia says he is not stupid. She says he is her friend. She says they will go to the doctor and he will be fine. She says she loves him.
+
+But Tim does not feel fine. He feels worse. He closes his eyes and does not open them again. He does not hear Mia or the doctor. He does not hear anything. He is gone.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to look at the birds in the trees. They saw a big bird with red and yellow feathers. It was very loud.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and loud. What is it?"
+
+"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe it is a parrot. Do you want to talk to it?"
+
+"Yes, let's try!" Lily said. They walked closer to the tree where the bird was. They said hello to the bird.
+
+The bird looked at them and said hello back. It also said some other words that they did not understand. It sounded like it was speaking another language.
+
+Lily and Sam were surprised and happy. They tried to repeat the words that the bird said. The bird liked that and said more words. They had fun talking to the bird.
+
+A man came to the park. He was looking for his bird. He saw Lily and Sam talking to his parrot. He smiled and walked to them.
+
+"Hello, I see you have met my bird," he said. "His name is Coco. He can speak many languages. He likes to make friends."
+
+"Hello, mister," Lily and Sam said. "We like your bird. He is very pretty and loud. He can speak like us and like you."
+
+"Yes, he can," the man said. "He is very smart and friendly. He likes to learn new words. Do you want to learn some words from him?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Sam said. They wanted to learn more words from Coco. The man taught them some words in his language. They repeated them after him and after Coco.
+
+They had a lot of fun learning and talking. They united with the man and his bird. They became friends. They thanked the man and Coco for teaching them. They said goodbye and hugged them.
+
+Lily and Sam went back to their parents. They told them about their new friends. They said some words in the new language. Their parents were proud and happy. They smiled and said they were glad that Lily and Sam had a good time in the park.
+One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks. Lily and Tom liked ducks. They wanted to feed them bread.
+
+"Mom, can we give bread to the ducks?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom took some bread from Mom and threw it to the ducks. The ducks came to eat the bread. They quacked and splashed. Lily and Tom laughed.
+
+Then, they saw a fat duck. It was bigger than the other ducks. It had a long neck and a big beak. It was not a duck. It was a goose.
+
+"Look, Mom, a fat duck!" Tom said.
+
+"That's not a duck, Tom. That's a goose. Geese are different from ducks. They can be loud and mean. Don't feed the goose," Mom said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He threw a big piece of bread to the goose. The goose saw the bread and wanted it. It swam fast to get it. But another duck got the bread first. The goose was angry. It honked and chased the duck.
+
+"Wow, the fat duck is mad!" Lily said.
+
+The goose did not stop. It saw Tom and Lily. It thought they had more bread. It swam to the edge of the pond. It got out of the water. It ran to Tom and Lily.
+
+"Help, Mom, the fat duck is coming!" Tom said.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to Mom. Mom picked them up and hugged them. The goose stopped. It did not like Mom. It turned around and went back to the pond.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily and Tom?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we are okay. But we don't like the fat duck. It is mean," Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily and Tom. The goose was hungry and greedy. It did not want to share. You learned something new today. You discovered that geese are not ducks. And that you should not feed them," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They did not want to feed the goose anymore. They wanted to feed the nice ducks. They said sorry to the ducks. They gave them the rest of the bread. The ducks quacked and splashed. Lily and Tom laughed. They liked ducks. They did not like geese.
+Lily and Ben love to travel with their team. They play soccer with other kids from different places. Sometimes they go on a big bus, and sometimes they go on a train. They always have fun on the way.
+
+One day, they had to travel very far to play soccer. They went on a plane for the first time. They were excited and a little scared. They looked out the window and saw the clouds and the land. They held hands and smiled.
+
+When they got to the distant place, they met the other team. They were nice and friendly. They played soccer and had a good game. Lily scored a goal and Ben made a save. They cheered and hugged.
+
+After the game, they had a picnic with the other team. They shared their food and talked. They learned some new words and songs. They made new friends and exchanged gifts.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They liked to travel with their team. They liked to play soccer and meet new people. They thanked the other team and said goodbye. They got on the plane and went back home. They had a lot of stories to tell.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big barrel near the slide. They ran to the barrel and looked inside. It was empty.
+
+"Let's hide in the barrel and joke with our friends!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, that sounds fun!" Lily said.
+
+They climbed into the barrel and waited. They heard some footsteps and voices. It was Ben and Mia, their friends from the nursery.
+
+"Where are Tom and Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know, maybe they went home," Mia said.
+
+Tom and Lily giggled in the barrel. They wanted to jump out and say "boo!" But the barrel was too tall for them. They could not reach the top.
+
+"Help, we are stuck!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Who is that?" Ben asked.
+
+"It's us, Tom and Lily! We are in the barrel!" Lily said.
+
+Ben and Mia laughed. They went to the barrel and helped Tom and Lily out.
+
+"That was a funny joke, but not very smart," Ben said.
+
+"Next time, choose a smaller barrel," Mia said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt silly. They said sorry to their friends and hugged them.
+
+"Let's play something else," Tom said.
+
+"OK, how about tag?" Lily said.
+
+They all agreed and ran to the grass. They had fun playing tag and forgot about the barrel.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see big dark clouds in the sky. They are heavy and scary.
+
+"Look, Lily, the sky is angry!" Tom says. He points at the clouds.
+
+Lily stares at the sky. She does not like the clouds. She thinks they will make loud noises and wet drops. She holds Tom's hand.
+
+"I don't like the angry sky, Tom. Can we go inside?" Lily asks. She feels cold and sad.
+
+Tom nods. He does not like the angry sky either. He wants to play with his toys and read his books. He hugs Lily.
+
+"OK, Lily, let's go inside. Maybe the sky will be happy later." Tom says. He leads Lily to his house. They run fast and do not look back at the sky.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a puzzle. They liked to find the pieces that matched and fit them together. The puzzle had a picture of a farm with animals and a tractor.
+
+"Look, I found the cow!" Lily said, holding a piece with a black and white spot.
+
+"Good job, Lily!" Ben said. "I have the tractor. Where does it go?"
+
+They examined the puzzle board, looking for the right place. They saw a pale blue sky, a green field, a red barn and a yellow sun.
+
+"Maybe the tractor goes near the barn," Lily said. "There is some brown dirt there."
+
+"Let's try it," Ben said. He put the tractor piece next to the barn. It fit!
+
+They clapped and smiled. They had finished the puzzle.

+
+"That's a wonderful puzzle, Lily and Ben!" she said. "You worked very hard and did a great job. Do you want to do another puzzle?"

+
+"Give me the coat! It is mine!" Sara says.
+
+"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Ben says.
+
+They tug and tug until the coat rips. They hear a loud noise and stop. They look at the coat and see a big hole. They feel sad and sorry.

+"Come on, Ben, let's go up the hill. It will be fun," Sam says.
+
+"No, Sam, it is too high. I don't want to go," Ben says.
+
+Sam is angry. He thinks Ben is a baby. He rides up the hill without Ben. Ben stays at the bottom. He is sad.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the barn. They liked to pretend they were animals and make noises. Lily was a cow and Ben was a horse. They mooed and neighed and ran around the hay.
+
+But it was very hot in the barn. Lily and Ben felt sweaty and thirsty. They wanted to go outside and find some water. But the barn door was closed and they could not open it. They pushed and pulled but it did not move.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We are stuck in the barn!"
+
+Their mom heard them and came to the barn. She saw them through the window and smiled. She opened the door and let them out.
+
+"Are you okay, my little animals?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, we are okay. But we are very hot and thirsty. Can we have some water, please?" they said.
+
+"Of course, you can. Come with me to the house. You can have some water and a snack. And maybe you can play something else after that. The barn is too hot for you today." she said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and followed their mom. They were happy they escaped from the barn. They decided to play something else later. Maybe they would be birds and fly in the sky.

+
+"Look, Sam, gum!" Tom says. "Let's chew some. It is red and sweet."
+
+"OK, Tom, but only one piece each," Sam says. "Mom said too much candy is bad for us."
+
+They take one piece of gum each and put it in their mouths. They chew and chew and make bubbles. They have fun with the gum.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The gum gets stuck in their hair. They try to pull it out, but it only makes it worse. They have red gum all over their hair. They look at each other and cry.
+
+"Help, help!" they shout. "We have gum in our hair!"
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the kitchen. She sees the result of their chewing. She is not happy. She scolds them for taking the gum without asking. She says they have to go to the barber to cut their hair.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Sam say. "We thought it was candy. We won't chew gum again."

+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, Grandma. Why?"
+
+Grandma said, "Because I wore them on a very important day. The day I met your grandpa. He was very handsome and kind. He saw me and said, 'You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.' He gave me a flower and asked me to dance. I said yes, and we fell in love. Do you recognize this picture?"
+
+Grandma showed Lily a photo of her and Grandpa in the same clothes. Lily looked at the photo and then at Grandma. She said, "Wow, Grandma. You look like me. And Grandpa looks like Daddy. You are so pretty and happy."

+

+
+One day, Ben wants to measure his car. He wants to know how big his car is. He looks for something to measure with. He sees a ruler on the table. He does not know what a ruler is, but he thinks it looks like a stick. He takes the ruler and puts it next to his car.
+
+He tries to count the numbers on the ruler, but he does not know them all. He only knows one, two, three, four, and five. He sees that his car is longer than five. He is happy. He thinks his car is very big.
+
+He wants to show his mom how big his car is. He runs to the kitchen with his car and his ruler. He sees his mom making a cake. He says, "Mom, look! My car is big! It is longer than five!"

+
+Ben shows his mom his ruler. He says, "I used this stick. It has numbers on it. I counted them. My car is longer than five."
+
+His mom says, "That is not a stick, Ben. That is a ruler. It is a tool to measure things. You can measure many things with a ruler. Do you want to measure something else?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He looks around the kitchen. He sees his cat sleeping on the couch. He says, "I want to measure my cat. He is lazy. He does not play with me. Maybe he is too big to play."
+
+His mom says, "Okay, Ben, you can measure your cat. But be gentle. He might not like it."

+Ben nods and runs to the couch with his car and his ruler. He tries to measure his cat, but his cat does not like it. He hisses and scratches Ben. Ben drops his car and his ruler and cries.
+
+His mom hears him and comes to the couch. She hugs Ben and says, "Oh, Ben, I'm sorry. Your cat did not want to be measured. He was scared. He did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben sniffles and says, "I'm okay, Mom. But my cat is mean. He does not like me. He does not like my car. He does not like my ruler."
+
+His mom says, "Your cat is not mean, Ben. He is just different. He likes to sleep and be quiet. He does not like loud noises and fast things. He likes you, but he does not like to play the same way as you. You have to respect his feelings and his space. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "I understand, Mom. I'm sorry, cat. I will not measure you again. I will let you sleep. Can I still play with my car?"
+
+His mom says, "Of course, Ben. You can play with your car. But be careful with your ruler. It is not a toy. It is a tool. You can use it to measure things, but you have to ask first. And you have to be gentle and respectful. Do you promise?"
+
+Ben promises and says, "I promise, Mom. Thank you for the ruler. It is cool. I like to measure things. Can I measure the cake?"
+
+His mom laughs and says, "No, Ben. You cannot measure the cake. The cake is for eating, not for measuring. But you can help me decorate it. Do you want to do that?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, Mom. I want to do that. That sounds fun. Can I put sprinkles on it?"
+
+His mom says, "Sure, Ben. You can put sprinkles on it. But not too many. We don't want to make the cake too sweet."
+
+Ben says, "Okay, Mom. I will not put too many. Just enough to make it pretty. Like my car."
+
+His mom says, "Yes, Ben. Like your car. Your car is very pretty. And very big. And very fast. And very loud. And I love you very much."
+
+Ben says, "I love you too, Mom. You are the best mom ever. And you make the best cake ever. And you are very smart. And very kind. And very gentle. And very respectful."
+
+His mom says, "Thank you, Ben. You are the best son ever. And you are very smart. And very kind. And very gentle. And very respectful. And very curious. And very creative. And very brave."

+
+"Who cares? We are having fun!" Mia says.
+
+But their mom does not think so. She sees them from the window and she is very angry. She comes out and shouts at them.
+
+"What are you doing? You have ruined your clothes! They were clean and new! Now they are dirty and old! How can you be so naughty?"
+
+She grabs them by the hand and drags them to the house. She makes them take off their clothes and puts them in the washing machine. Then she ties them to the chairs and gives them a big lecture.
+
+"You are not allowed to play in the garden anymore! You have to stay inside and do your homework! And you have to wear these clothes until they are clean again!"
+
+She gives them each a pair of clothes that are too small, too big or too ugly. Tom gets a pink dress and Mia gets a green suit. They look very silly and they feel very sad.

+
+"Ahoy, mateys! Let's find some treasure!" Ben said, holding the parrot on his shoulder.
+
+"Arrr, yes, captain! But watch out for the enemy!" Lily said, waving her sword.
+
+They pretended to sail across the sea, looking for islands and chests of gold. They had a lot of fun, until they heard a loud noise.

+They turned around and saw their dad, holding a water gun. He had sneaked up on them and shot them with a stream of water.
+
+"Gotcha!" he said, laughing.
+
+Ben and Lily screamed and ran away, trying to dodge the water. The parrot fell off Ben's shoulder and landed on the ground.
+
+"Help! Help! I'm wet! I'm wet!" the parrot said, repeating what it had heard.
+
+Dad picked up the parrot and dried it with a towel. He felt sorry for scaring the kids and the toy.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben and Lily. I was just joking. Do you want to play with me?" he said.
+
+Ben and Lily came back, still dripping. They looked at their dad and the parrot. They were a bit angry, but also a bit amused.
+
+"OK, dad. But you have to be a pirate too. And you have to wear the hat and the feather," Ben said.
+
+"And you have to say 'arr' and 'ahoy' and 'matey'," Lily said.
+
+Dad agreed and put on the hat and the feather. He looked very silly. The parrot laughed and said:
+
+"Look at dad! Look at dad! He's a pirate! He's a pirate!"
+
+Ben, Lily, and dad laughed too. They were embarrassed, but they had fun. They played pirates together, until mom called them for lunch.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big crystal in the grass. It was clear and sparkly and had many colors.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see?" Ben asked. He reached for the crystal, but Lily held it tight.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "I found it first!"
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to see the crystal too. He tried to grab it from Lily, but she pushed him away.
+
+"Go away, Ben!" Lily said. "You are not my friend anymore!"
+
+Ben ran away, crying. He bumped into a bald man who was sitting on a bench. The man had a kind face and a big smile.
+
+"Hey, little boy, what is wrong?" the man asked.
+
+"Nobody likes me," Ben sobbed. "Lily took my crystal and she does not want to play with me."
+
+The man hugged Ben and wiped his tears. He looked at the crystal in Lily's hand.
+
+"That is a very nice crystal," he said. "But you know what is nicer?"
+
+"What?" Ben asked.
+
+"A kiss," the man said. He kissed Ben on the cheek and made him laugh.
+
+"See? A kiss can make you feel better. And it can also make someone else feel better. Do you want to try?"
+
+Ben nodded. He took the man's hand and walked back to Lily. He saw that she was sitting alone and looked sad too.
+
+"Lily, I am sorry," Ben said. "Can I see your crystal?"
+
+Lily looked up and saw Ben and the bald man. She smiled and nodded.
+
+"Here, you can hold it," she said. She gave Ben the crystal and he gave her a kiss.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You are my friend again."
+
+They hugged and played with the crystal together. The bald man watched them and smiled. He was happy that he helped them make up. He knew that a kiss was a simple but powerful word.

+
+But then, a mean boy came. He had a big bag. He said, "I want all the coins. They are mine." He started to take the coins out of the fountain. Tom and Lily were angry. They said, "Stop! You can't do that. Those are our wishes. You are ignorant. You don't know how to share."
+
+The mean boy laughed. He said, "I don't care. I have more coins than you. I can buy anything I want." He ran away with the bag. Tom and Lily were sad. They cried.
+
+A nice lady saw them. She said, "What's wrong, children?" Tom and Lily told her what happened. The nice lady said, "That's not fair. That boy was very rude. He should learn to be kind. Do you want me to help you?" Tom and Lily nodded.
+
+The nice lady said, "Come with me. I have some coins in my purse. You can make new wishes. And maybe, the fountain will make them come true." She took them to the fountain. She gave them each a coin. Tom and Lily smiled. They said, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice. You helped us." They threw their coins in the fountain. They hoped their wishes would come true. They hugged the nice lady. They were happy.

+
+"I don't know, Ben. Let's find out." Sara says, picking up the truck and putting it on the scale.
+
+The scale tips over and the truck falls off.
+
+"Oops, the truck is too big and heavy for the scale. It broke the scale." Sara says, frowning.
+
+"That's okay, Sara. We can fix it. Or we can play with something else. Do you want to play with my fake coins? They are shiny and round." Ben says, smiling.
+
+"Okay, Ben. I like your fake coins. They are shiny and round. And they don't break the scale." Sara says, smiling back.
+
+They put the scale aside and play with the fake coins. They pretend to buy and sell things with the paper and the coins. They have fun and forget about the broken scale.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But sometimes they quarrel over who gets to play with what. Today, they both want to play with the same train.
+
+"Give me the train!" Tom says. He tries to pull the train from Lily's hands.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily says. She holds the train tight and pushes Tom away.
+
+They tug and shout and make a lot of noise. Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong.
+
+"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" she asks. She is not happy with their quarrel.
+
+"We both want the train!" Tom and Lily say at the same time.
+
+Mom looks at the train. It is old and broken. She has a better idea.
+
+"Why don't you play with this instead?" she says. She shows them a big box. It is full of new and shiny toys. There are cars, dolls, blocks, books and more.
+
+Tom and Lily are eager to see what is in the box. They forget about the train and run to the box.
+
+"Wow, look at all these toys!" Tom says.
+
+"They are so pretty and fun!" Lily says.
+
+They start to play with the new toys. They share and take turns and say nice things to each other. They are happy and so is mom.
+
+She smiles and says, "This is a gift from your grandma. She sent it for your birthday. She loves you very much and wants you to have fun."
+
+Tom and Lily hug mom and say, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, grandma. We love you too."
+
+They play with the new toys for a long time. They do not quarrel anymore. They are good brother and sister.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Tom had a red car made of steel. Lily had a yellow car made of plastic.
+
+"Look at my car, Lily. It is very fast and strong. It can go over rocks and mud. Your car is too small and weak. It will break if you crash it," Tom said.
+
+Lily did not like what Tom said. She thought her car was very charming and cute. It had a smiley face and a flower on the roof. She did not want to crash it. She wanted to be nice to it.
+
+"That is not true, Tom. My car is very good and friendly. It can go over grass and flowers. Your car is too big and loud. It will scare the birds and the bugs," Lily said.
+
+Tom and Lily did not agree. They decided to have a race to see whose car was better. They made a track with stones and sticks. They said they would finish at the big tree.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" they shouted and pushed their cars.
+
+Tom's car zoomed ahead. It was very fast and strong. It went over rocks and mud. But it also made a lot of noise and dust. It scared the birds and the bugs.
+
+Lily's car followed behind. It was not very fast or strong. It went over grass and flowers. But it also made a lot of smiles and fun. It did not scare the birds and the bugs.
+
+Tom reached the big tree first. He was very happy. He thought he had won the race. He said, "Ha ha, I told you my car was better. It finished first. Your car is too slow and weak."
+
+Lily reached the big tree second. She was not very sad. She thought she had enjoyed the race. She said, "No, I told you my car was better. It finished happy. Your car is too rude and mean."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They realized they had different ideas of what made a car better. They decided to stop arguing and start sharing. They said, "Maybe both our cars are good. They are different but they are fun. Can we play together?"
+
+They smiled and nodded. They played with their cars in the garden. They made noises and pretended they were racing. They also made friends and pretended they were happy. They had a charming day.
+One day, a brown kid named Tom wanted to play hide and seek with his friends. He ran to the park and found Lily, Sam and Mia. They were happy to see him and agreed to play.
+
+"Who will count?" Tom asked.
+
+"I will count," Lily said. "You three hide. I will close my eyes and say one, two, three, four, five. Then I will look for you."
+
+Tom, Sam and Mia nodded and ran to find good hiding places. Tom saw a big tree with a hole in it. He thought it was a perfect spot to hide. He crawled inside the hole and waited.
+
+Lily finished counting and opened her eyes. She looked around and saw Sam's red hat behind a bush. She ran to the bush and said, "I found you, Sam!"
+
+Sam came out of the bush and smiled. He joined Lily and they looked for the others. They saw Mia's yellow dress under a slide. They ran to the slide and said, "I found you, Mia!"
+
+Mia came out from under the slide and giggled. She joined Lily and Sam and they looked for Tom. They looked everywhere, but they could not find him.
+
+"Where is Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe he went home," Sam said.
+
+"Maybe he is hiding very well," Mia said.
+
+They decided to call his name. They shouted, "Tom, Tom, where are you?"
+
+Tom heard them from inside the tree. He was happy that they did not find him. He thought he was the best at hiding. He decided to come out and surprise them. He crawled out of the hole and said, "Boo!"
+
+Lily, Sam and Mia jumped and screamed. They saw Tom and laughed. They said, "You scared us, Tom!"
+
+Tom laughed too. He said, "I hid in the tree. You did not see me."
+
+They said, "You are very good at hiding, Tom. You win!"
+
+They hugged Tom and clapped for him. They said, "You are a fun friend, Tom. Let's play again!"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, let's play again. I love hide and seek!"
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they went to the store with their mom and saw a big ball of string. Tom wanted to buy it, but Lily said no. She said they had enough toys at home.
+
+"But I like string," Tom said. "I can make things with it. Please, mom, can I have it?"
+
+Mom looked at the string and smiled. She said they could share it if they were nice to each other. She bought the string and gave it to Tom and Lily.
+
+Tom was happy. He thanked mom and ran to the car with the string. Lily was jealous. She wanted the string for herself. She thought Tom would not let her play with it.
+
+When they got home, Tom started to make things with the string. He made a necklace, a bracelet, a hat, and a spider web. He showed them to mom and Lily. Mom said they were very good. Lily said nothing.
+
+Lily waited until Tom was busy with his spider web. Then she grabbed the string and ran to her room. She locked the door and hid the string under her bed. She thought she was clever.
+
+But Tom saw what she did. He was angry. He knocked on her door and asked for the string back. Lily said no. She said it was hers now. Tom said that was not fair. He said mom bought it for both of them. Lily said she did not care. She said she liked string more than Tom.
+
+Tom and Lily started to yell at each other. They said mean things. Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily's door was locked and Tom was crying. She asked them to stop fighting and open the door. Lily said no. She said she wanted to keep the string.
+
+Mom was sad. She said they were not being nice to each other. She said they had to share the string or she would take it away. She said they had to say sorry and hug. Lily felt bad. She knew mom was right. She opened the door and gave the string to Tom. She said she was sorry. Tom said he was sorry too. They hugged and said they loved each other.
+
+Mom was happy. She said they were good twins. She said they could play with the string together. She said they could make more things and have fun. Tom and Lily agreed. They thanked mom and went to the living room with the string. They made a kite, a cat, a snake, and a rainbow. They showed them to mom and smiled. Mom said they were very creative. She said she was proud of them. Tom and Lily were happy. They said they were proud of each other. They said they liked string. They said they liked sharing.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score.
+
+One day, a big boy comes to the park. He has a black shirt and a black hat. He looks mean. He says, "I want to play soccer with you. Give me the ball."
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They do not want to play with the big boy. They say, "No, this is our ball. Go away."
+
+The big boy does not listen. He takes the ball from Tom and runs to the goal. He kicks the ball hard and scores. He laughs and says, "I am the best. You are losers."
+
+Tom and Sam are sad and angry. They want their ball back. They run after the big boy and try to get the ball. They shout, "Stop! That is not fair. Give us our ball."
+
+The big boy does not stop. He keeps the ball and runs away. He says, "No, this is my ball now. You can't catch me."
+
+Tom and Sam are tired and sad. They lose their ball and their game. They sit on the grass and cry. They wish the big boy would go away. They hope someone will help them.
+Sara was a big sister. She had a baby brother, Ben. Ben was an infant. He was very small and cute, but sometimes he was loud. He cried a lot when he was hungry or wet or tired.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to help Mom with Ben. She asked Mom, "Can I feed Ben his bottle?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure, Sara. You are a good helper. But be careful, Ben is still learning how to drink from a bottle. He might spill some milk or choke a little. If he does, don't panic. Just hold him upright and pat his back gently."
+
+Sara nodded. She took the bottle from Mom and sat on the couch with Ben. She held him in her arms and put the bottle in his mouth. Ben started to suck the milk. Sara smiled. She felt proud and happy.
+
+But then, Ben started to cough. He spit out some milk and cried. Sara was scared. She remembered what Mom said. She held Ben upright and patted his back gently. She said, "It's okay, Ben. Don't cry. Sara is here. Sara loves you."
+
+Ben stopped coughing and crying. He looked at Sara with his big eyes. He smiled. Sara smiled back. She gave him a kiss on his cheek. She said, "You are a good baby, Ben. Sara is sorry you choked. Do you want more milk?"
+
+Ben nodded. He opened his mouth for the bottle. Sara gave him the bottle again. She watched him drink. She said, "You are doing great, Ben. Sara is proud of you."
+
+Mom came back to the couch. She saw Sara and Ben. She said, "Wow, Sara. You are a great big sister. You managed to feed Ben his bottle and calm him down. You are very brave and kind. I love you, Sara."
+
+Sara looked at Mom. She said, "I love you too, Mom. And I love Ben. He is my baby brother. I like to help you with him."
+
+Mom hugged Sara and Ben. She said, "You are my sweet children. I am lucky to have you."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird. The bird has a shiny thing in its beak. It is a cell. The cell can make sounds and show pictures.
+
+"Wow, look at the cell!" Lily says. "I want to see it!"
+
+"Me too!" Ben says. "Let's follow the bird!"
+
+They run after the bird. The bird flies to a tree. It puts the cell in a nest. Lily and Ben search for the nest. They look up and down. They find the nest on a high branch.
+
+"How can we get the cell?" Ben asks.
+
+"I have an idea!" Lily says. She sees a ladder. The ladder is for the workers. The workers are fixing the lights. Lily and Ben go to the ladder. They climb up the ladder. They are careful. They reach the nest.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Lily says. "Can we see your cell?"
+
+The bird is angry. It squawks and pecks. It does not want to share. It wants to keep the cell.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Ben say. They are scared. They drop the cell. The cell falls to the ground. It breaks. It does not make sounds or show pictures anymore.
+
+"Oh no, the cell is broken!" Lily says. "We are sorry, bird!"
+
+The bird is sad. It flies away. It does not have a cell anymore.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad too. They climb down the ladder. They see the workers. The workers are looking for the cell. It is their cell. They need it for their work.
+
+"Hey, kids, have you seen our cell?" a worker asks.
+
+Lily and Ben feel bad. They tell the truth. They say they broke the cell. They say they are sorry.
+
+The workers are angry. They say the cell was expensive. They say the kids are naughty. They say they have to pay for the cell.
+
+Lily and Ben are poor. They do not have money. They do not know what to do.
+
+They wish they did not follow the bird. They wish they did not touch the cell. They wish they played something else. They learned a lesson. They will not take things that are not theirs. They will be more careful. They will be better friends.
+Lily was very hungry. She wanted to eat a cookie. But Mom said no. Mom said it was too late for cookies. Mom said Lily had to brush her teeth and go to bed.
+
+Lily was angry. She did not want to brush her teeth. She did not want to go to bed. She wanted a cookie. She saw the clock on the wall. It was big and round. It had numbers and hands. It made a tick-tock sound. Lily had an idea.
+
+She waited until Mom was busy. She climbed on a chair. She reached for the clock. She pulled it down. She opened it. She saw a lot of things inside. They looked like cookies. They were small and round and brown. Lily smiled. She took one and put it in her mouth.
+
+But it was not a cookie. It was disgusting. It was hard and bitter and metal. It hurt Lily's teeth and tongue. Lily spat it out. She cried. She dropped the clock. It broke. It made a loud noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to see what happened. She saw Lily and the clock. She was shocked and angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You broke the clock! You could have hurt yourself! Why did you do that?"
+
+Lily felt bad. She regretted what she did. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted a cookie. I thought the clock had cookies inside. But they were not cookies. They were disgusting."
+
+Mom hugged Lily. She said, "Lily, those were not cookies. Those were gears. They make the clock work. You can't eat them. They are not food. You have to be careful. You have to listen to me. Cookies are for daytime. Not for bedtime."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do it again. I don't want gears. I want real cookies. But not now. Now I want to brush my teeth and go to bed."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "That's a good girl. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. And tomorrow, I'll make you some cookies. But only if you behave."
+
+Lily smiled too. She said, "Okay, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily."
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they want to visit the big park. The big park has swings and slides and a pond. But the big park is far from their homes. They have to cross a busy road.
+
+"Let's go to the big park," Tom says. "It will be fun."
+
+"But we have to ask our moms first," Sam says. "The road is dangerous. There are many cars and trucks. They go very fast. They can hurt us."
+
+"No, we don't have to ask," Tom says. "We can be quick. We can run across the road. No one will see us. Come on, don't be scared."
+
+Tom grabs Sam's hand and pulls him. They run to the road. They do not look left and right. They do not see the red light. They do not hear the horn.
+
+A big truck is coming. It is very loud. It cannot stop. It hits Tom and Sam. They fall to the ground. They are very hurt. They cry and scream.
+
+A lady sees them. She calls for help. She runs to them. She is very sad and angry.
+
+"Why did you cross the road without looking?" she asks. "Why did you not ask your moms? You are very naughty. You are very silly. You could have died. You are lucky to be alive."
+
+Tom and Sam are sorry. They wish they had listened to Sam. They wish they had asked their moms. They learn a lesson. They never cross the road without looking. They never go to the big park without asking. They know the road is dangerous. They know they have to be careful. They know they have to be smart.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were king and queen of the flowers. Tom had a paper crown that he made with his mom. Lily had a plastic crown that she got for her birthday.
+
+They were having fun until it started to rain. The rain was heavy and cold. It made the garden gloomy and wet. Tom and Lily ran to the porch to stay dry.
+
+"Oh no, my crown!" Tom cried. He looked at his paper crown. It was soaked by the rain. It was falling apart and losing its color. "My crown is ruined!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. She hugged him. She looked at her plastic crown. It was shiny and dry. She had an idea. "Do you want to share my crown? We can take turns wearing it. It will still be fun."
+
+Tom smiled. He liked Lily. She was a good friend. He nodded. "Okay, thank you, Lily. You are very kind. We can share your crown. We are still king and queen of the flowers."
+
+They put the plastic crown on Tom's head. They held hands and went back to the garden. They didn't mind the rain anymore. They played and laughed and had fun. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls and books.
+
+One day, they find a pepper in the garden. It is red and shiny. Lily wants to play with it. She thinks it is a ball. She picks it up and throws it in the air.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a ball!" she says.
+
+Tom sees the pepper. He knows it is not a ball. He knows it is a pepper. He likes to eat peppers. They are spicy and yummy.
+
+"Give me the pepper, Lily. It is not a ball. It is a pepper. I want to eat it." he says.
+
+Lily does not want to give the pepper to Tom. She wants to play with it. She thinks it is fun.
+
+"No, Tom, it is my ball. I found it. You have many toys. You can play with them." she says.
+
+They start to fight over the pepper. They pull and tug and shout. They are not happy. They are not friends.
+
+Mama hears them. She comes to the garden. She sees them fighting over the pepper.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily and Tom? Why are you fighting?" she asks.
+
+They tell her about the pepper. They both want it. They do not want to share.
+
+Mama shakes her head. She is not happy. She takes the pepper from them.
+
+"Listen, Lily and Tom. This is not a ball. This is a pepper. It is not a toy. It is a food. You can not play with it. You can eat it. But you have to share it. Sharing is good. Sharing is kind. Sharing makes friends." she says.
+
+She cuts the pepper in half. She gives one half to Lily and one half to Tom.
+
+"Here, Lily and Tom. You can each have a half of the pepper. You can try it. Maybe you will like it. Maybe you will not. But you will learn something new. And you will share something useful." she says.
+
+Lily and Tom take the pepper halves. They are curious. They bite them. They make funny faces. The pepper is spicy. It makes their mouths hot. They do not like it.
+
+"Yuck, Mama, this is not a ball. This is a pepper. It is not fun. It is hot." they say.
+
+Mama smiles. She gives them some water. She hugs them.
+
+"That's okay, Lily and Tom. You do not have to like the pepper. But you tried it. And you shared it. That is good. That is useful. You learned something new. And you are still friends." she says.
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They hug Mama. They hug each other. They are happy. They are friends. They go back to the box of toys. They share them. They play together. They have fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with their carts in the park. They have red carts and blue carts. They push and pull them on the grass and the sand.
+
+One day, Lily sees a new girl in the park. She has a big yellow cart. It has flowers and stickers on it. Lily thinks it is very pretty. She wants to play with the new girl and her cart.
+
+She goes to the new girl and says, "Hello, I am Lily. What is your name?"
+
+The new girl smiles and says, "I am Mia. This is my cart. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily nods and says, "Yes, I like it very much. It is very pretty. Can I play with you and your cart?"
+
+Mia says, "Sure, you can play with me and my cart. Do you have a cart too?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, I have a red cart. It is over there with Ben. He is my friend. Can I invite him to play with us too?"
+
+Mia says, "Of course, you can invite him. The more, the merrier. Come on, let's go get him."
+
+Lily and Mia run to Ben and his blue cart. They tell him to join them and play with the yellow cart. Ben is happy to meet Mia and see her cart. He thinks it is very cool. He says, "Wow, what a nice cart. Can I try it?"
+
+Mia says, "Sure, you can try it. Here, you can push it and I will sit in it. Lily, you can pull it and we will go fast."
+
+They take turns to push, pull and sit in the yellow cart. They have a lot of fun. They laugh and sing and make friends. They are not jealous of each other. They share and care. They are happy.
+Sam had a cold. He sneezed and coughed a lot. His nose was runny and his throat was sore. He did not want to play or eat. He just wanted to lie in bed and sleep.
+
+His mom came to check on him. She felt his forehead and gave him some medicine. She said, "You have a fever, Sam. You need to rest and drink water. The medicine will help you heal."
+
+Sam said, "But I don't like the medicine. It tastes bad. And I don't like water. I want juice."
+
+His mom said, "I know, Sam. But the medicine and the water are good for you. They will make you feel better soon. Juice has too much sugar. It can make your cold worse."
+
+Sam said, "How long will it take to heal, mom? I want to go outside and play. I want to run and jump and ride my bike. I want to be fast again."
+
+His mom said, "It will take a few days, Sam. But you will get better if you follow my advice. You can read some books or watch some cartoons while you rest. And when you heal, you can do all the things you want to do. You will be fast again, Sam. I promise."
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But they do not like to share. One day, they find a big box. They think it is a cell for animals. They want to play with it.
+
+Tim says, "This is my cell. I will put my lion in it. You can not play with it." Kim says, "No, this is my cell. I will put my doll in it. You can not play with it." They start to pull and push the box. They are very grumpy.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the box and the toys. She says, "Stop fighting. This is not a cell. This is a gift for your cousin. He is sick and he needs a new bed. You can not play with it. You have to be kind and share your toys with him."
+
+Tim and Kim feel sorry. They did not know the box was a gift. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not fight. We will share our toys with our cousin. We hope he gets well soon." Mom smiles. She says, "That is good. I am proud of you. You learned to be generous and caring. That is better than being grumpy and selfish." She hugs them and takes the box to the car.
+
+Tim and Kim go to their room. They find some other toys and books. They decide to play together. They are not grumpy anymore. They are happy.
+Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to look at everything and ask many questions. One day, she saw a bird in a cage in her neighbor's garden. She wanted to see the bird up close and touch its feathers.
+
+She waited until her neighbor was not looking and climbed over the fence. She ran to the cage and opened the door. The bird was scared and flew out of the cage. Lily tried to catch it, but it was too fast. It flew away and disappeared in the sky.
+
+Lily felt bad. She had let the bird go and now her neighbor would be sad. She heard her neighbor's voice and hid behind a bush.
+
+"Where is my bird? Who opened the cage?" her neighbor asked. He looked around and saw Lily's foot sticking out of the bush. He walked over and pulled her out.
+
+"Lily, did you do this?" he asked. He was angry and sad.
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to say sorry, but she was too afraid. She wished she had not been so nosy.
+
+"I regret opening the cage. I regret letting the bird go. I regret making you sad," she thought. She hoped the bird would come back and her neighbor would forgive her.
+One day, a zebra was walking in the grass. He was looking for some food. He saw a big tree with green leaves. He thought they would be yummy. He ran to the tree and started to eat.
+
+But the leaves were not yummy. They were bitter. The zebra made a face and spat them out. He felt bad in his mouth. He wanted some water to wash away the bitter taste. He looked around and saw a pond. He ran to the pond and drank some water.
+
+But the water was not good. It was dirty. The zebra saw a crocodile in the pond. The crocodile was hungry. He saw the zebra and wanted to eat him. He opened his mouth and snapped at the zebra.
+
+The zebra was scared. He jumped away from the crocodile. He ran as fast as he could. He did not want to be eaten. He looked for a safe place to hide. He saw a cave. He ran to the cave and went inside.
+
+But the cave was not safe. It was dark. The zebra heard a roar. He saw a lion in the cave. The lion was angry. He saw the zebra and wanted to chase him. He growled and ran after the zebra.
+
+The zebra was very scared. He ran out of the cave. He did not know where to go. He wished he had never left his herd. He wished he had never eaten the bitter leaves. He wished he had never drank the dirty water. He wished he had never gone to the cave. He wished he could find some friends to help him. He wondered what would happen next.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But they do not like to clean up. Their room is very messy. There are toys and books everywhere.
+
+One day, their mom says, "Lily and Ben, you need to clean up your room. It is too messy. You cannot play with your phone until you do."
+
+Lily and Ben do not want to clean up. They want to play with their phone. They like to watch videos and play games on their phone. They think of a plan.
+
+They say, "Mom, we will clean up our room. But can we spend some time with our phone first? Just a little bit?"
+
+Mom says, "No, you cannot. You need to clean up your room first. Then you can spend some time with your phone. But not too much. You have to do your homework and eat your dinner."
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They do not like mom's answer. They think mom is not fair. They decide to sneak out of their room and get their phone. They hide under the table and turn on their phone.
+
+But mom is smart. She hears the phone. She says, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? I told you to clean up your room. Why are you under the table with your phone?"
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They know they are in trouble. They say, "Sorry, mom. We just wanted to play with our phone. We were bored."
+
+Mom says, "That is not a good excuse. You have to listen to me. You have to clean up your room. And you have to give me your phone. You cannot play with it until tomorrow."
+
+Lily and Ben are very sad. They give mom their phone. They go back to their room. They start to clean up their mess. They wish they had listened to mom. They learn their lesson.
+Lily and Tom were wealthy children. They had many toys and clothes and books. But they were not happy. They always wanted more and more. They did not like to share or say thank you.
+
+One day, they went to the sea with their parents. The sea was big and blue and shiny. Lily and Tom saw some children playing with sand and shells. They wanted to join them, but they did not know how to be nice.
+
+"Give me that shell!" Lily said to a girl. She grabbed the shell from her hand and ran away.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" the girl said. She was sad and angry.
+
+"Throw it back!" Tom said to Lily. He wanted the shell too. He tried to snatch it from Lily, but she was faster. She threw the shell into the sea.
+
+"Ha ha, now you can't have it!" Lily said. She laughed and stuck out her tongue.
+
+But then, something happened. A big wave came and splashed Lily and Tom. They got wet and cold and scared. They dropped their toys and ran to their parents.
+
+"Help, help!" they cried. "The sea is mean!"
+
+The other children saw what happened. They felt sorry for Lily and Tom. They picked up their toys and brought them to them.
+
+"Here, you can have these," a boy said. He gave them a bucket and a spade.
+
+"Thank you," Lily and Tom said. They were surprised and ashamed. They realized they had been rude and selfish.
+
+They looked at the sea. It was still big and blue and shiny. But it was not mean. It was just the sea.
+
+They looked at the other children. They were smiling and friendly. They invited them to play with them.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They smiled too. They decided to be nice and share and say thank you.
+
+They learned that being wealthy is not enough. Being kind and happy is better.
+Lila and Sam went to the park with their mom. They saw a vendor with a big cart. The vendor had many things to sell: ice cream, candy, popcorn, and more.
+
+"Can we have some ice cream, mom?" Lila asked.
+
+"Sure, you can choose one flavor each," mom said.
+
+Lila and Sam ran to the vendor and looked at the ice cream. There were many colors and shapes. Lila liked the pink one with sprinkles. Sam liked the blue one with a cone.
+
+"I want this one," Lila said, pointing to the pink ice cream.
+
+"I want this one," Sam said, pointing to the blue ice cream.
+
+The vendor smiled and gave them their ice cream. He asked mom for some money.
+
+"Here you go," mom said, giving him some coins.
+
+"Thank you," the vendor said. "Do you want to add anything else?"
+
+Mom looked at the vendor's cart. She saw some candy that looked yummy.
+
+"Can we have some candy too, mom?" Lila and Sam asked.
+
+Mom thought for a moment. She knew that candy was not good for their teeth. But she also wanted to make them happy.
+
+"Okay, you can have one candy each. But only one, okay?" mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom," Lila and Sam said.
+
+They chose their candy from the vendor's cart. Lila picked a red one that was sour. Sam picked a green one that was sweet.
+
+The vendor gave them their candy and asked mom for more money.
+
+"Here you go," mom said, giving him more coins.
+
+"Thank you," the vendor said. "Do you want to add anything else?"
+
+Mom looked at the vendor's cart again. She saw some popcorn that smelled good.
+
+"Can we have some popcorn too, mom?" Lila and Sam asked.
+
+Mom shook her head. She had no more money left. She also thought that they had enough treats for one day.
+
+"No, we can't have any more. We have to go now," mom said.
+
+Lila and Sam felt sad. They wanted to have some popcorn too. They thought it was difficult to leave the vendor's cart.
+
+"Please, mom, just a little bit," Lila and Sam said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "No, sweeties, we have to go. Maybe next time we can have some popcorn. But now we have to go home and eat some healthy food. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lila and Sam nodded. They said goodbye to the vendor and thanked him for the ice cream and the candy. They followed mom to the car. They ate their ice cream and their candy on the way. They were still a little sad, but they also felt happy. They had a fun day at the park with their mom.
+Lily liked to sleep with her journal under her pillow. She wrote in it every night before she closed her eyes. She wrote about her day, her friends, her dreams, and her secrets. She did not want anyone to read her journal, because it was hers.
+
+But one day, her brother Ben was nosy. He saw her journal under her pillow when she was at school. He wanted to know what she wrote. He took her journal and opened it. He read some of her words. He laughed at some of them. He did not understand some of them. He did not care. He was nosy.
+
+When Lily came home, she saw her journal on her bed. She was angry. She knew Ben had read it. She ran to his room and yelled at him. She told him to stay away from her journal. She told him he was nosy and mean. She took her journal and hugged it. She cried.
+
+Ben felt bad. He knew he had done something wrong. He said he was sorry. He said he would not do it again. He said he loved her. He gave her a hug.
+
+Lily was still angry, but she was also sad. She loved him too. She said she was sorry for yelling. She said she would forgive him. She gave him a hug.
+
+They went to their rooms and got ready for bed. Lily put her journal under her pillow. She wrote about her day, her friends, her dreams, and her secrets. She also wrote about Ben. She wrote that he was nosy, but he was also nice. She wrote that he was her brother, and she loved him. She closed her eyes and slept.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they saw a big dog near the fence. The dog was barking and growling. It looked dangerous.
+
+"Let's go away from the dog," Lily said. "It might bite us."
+
+But Tom was curious. He wanted to see the dog. He said, "Maybe the dog is nice. Maybe it wants to play."
+
+He walked towards the fence. The dog saw him and barked louder. It showed its teeth. Tom was scared. He stopped and turned back.
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Tom, you are silly. You should not go near dangerous things. I care about you. I don't want you to get hurt."
+
+Tom hugged her back. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I care about you too. Let's play somewhere else."
+
+They ran to the sandbox and made a castle. They forgot about the dog. They were happy and safe.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to eat grapes. One day, they saw a big bunch of grapes on the table. They both wanted to have it, but they did not want to share.
+
+"I saw it first!" Sara said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben said. "I want it more!"
+
+They both grabbed the bunch of grapes and pulled hard. The grapes were tight on the stem and did not come off easily. Sara and Ben pulled and pulled, but neither of them could get the grapes.
+
+"Let go!" Sara said. "You are hurting me!"
+
+"Stop it!" Ben said. "You are being mean!"
+
+They pulled so hard that they fell down on the floor. The bunch of grapes flew out of their hands and landed on the dog's bowl. The dog came and ate the grapes happily.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other and felt sad. They had lost the grapes and hurt each other. They realized that they had been greedy and selfish.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara said. "I should have shared with you."
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara," Ben said. "I should have been nice to you."
+
+They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They learned that it is better to share and be kind than to fight and be mean.
+
+They went to their mom and asked for more grapes. Their mom smiled and said, "Of course, my loves. But first, you have to raise your hands and say please."
+
+Sara and Ben raised their hands and said please. Their mom gave them each a small bunch of grapes. They thanked their mom and ate the grapes together. They were happy and sweet, just like the grapes.
+Anna likes to sign. She signs with her hands and her face. She signs to her mom and dad and her friends. She signs when she is happy, sad, angry or curious. She signs because she cannot hear.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big tree with red apples. She signs to her mom, "I want apple, please." Her mom smiles and picks an apple for her. She gives it to Anna and signs, "Here you go, sweetie."
+
+Anna bites the apple. It is juicy and sweet. She signs, "Thank you, mom. I love apple." Her mom signs, "You're welcome, honey. I love you." They hug and smile.
+
+But then, Anna sees something on the apple. It is a black spot. She signs, "What is this, mom?" Her mom looks at the apple and signs, "That is a bad spot, Anna. Sometimes apples have bad spots. They are not good to eat."
+
+Anna makes a face and signs, "Yuck. I don't like bad spot. Can I have another apple, please?" Her mom nods and signs, "Of course, Anna. Let's find another apple. Maybe we can share it." They go to the tree and look for a good apple. They find one that is big and red and has no bad spots. They sign, "Hooray!" and bite the apple together. They sign, "Mmm, this is a good apple." They are happy.
+Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the garden. They had a small house made of wood and a big box of toys.
+
+One day, Lily saw a red tomato on a plant. She wanted to eat it. She asked Sam, "Can I borrow this tomato?"
+
+Sam said, "No, that is not your tomato. That is Mom's tomato. She grows them for salad. If you take it, she will be sad."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not want to make Mom sad. She said, "I am sorry, Sam. I did not know. I will not take it."
+
+Sam smiled. He said, "That is okay, Lily. You are a good friend. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I want to play with you. What do you want to play?"
+
+Sam said, "Let's play with the dolls. They are helpful. They can help us make a pretend salad with leaves and flowers."
+
+Lily agreed. She said, "That sounds fun. Let's go to the house and get the dolls."
+
+They ran to the house and got the dolls. They had a lot of fun playing with them. They made a pretend salad and pretended to eat it. They shared and laughed. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play near the river. There was a bridge over the river that they could cross to the other side. Sometimes they saw ducks and fish in the water.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben found a box of matches near the bridge. They did not know what they were, but they thought they looked fun. They took some matches and tried to light them. They saw sparks and fire and smoke. They thought it was cool.
+
+They threw some matches on the bridge and watched the fire grow. They did not think about the danger. They did not think about the people who used the bridge. They did not think about the animals who lived near the river. They just wanted to see more fire.
+
+But soon the fire was too big and too hot. It burned the wood and the rope of the bridge. It made loud noises and bad smells. It scared the ducks and the fish. It made the river boil. Lily and Ben were afraid. They tried to run away, but the bridge was broken. They were stuck on the other side.
+
+They cried and shouted for help. They wished they had not played with the matches. They wished they had not burned the bridge. They wished they had listened to their parents who told them not to touch fire.
+
+A man who lived near the river saw the smoke and the fire. He had a boat and he came to rescue Lily and Ben. He was angry and sad. He told them how naughty and foolish they were. He told them how much they had hurt the bridge and the river and the animals. He told them how much they had to say sorry and to help fix the bridge.
+
+Lily and Ben felt very sorry and very ashamed. They thanked the man for saving them. They promised to never play with fire again. They promised to help fix the bridge. They promised to be good friends to the river and the animals.
+
+The man took them back to their parents, who were very worried and very angry. They hugged them and scolded them. They told them how dangerous and wrong it was to burn the bridge. They told them how lucky they were to be alive and to have the man help them. They told them how much they loved them and how much they had to learn from their mistake.
+
+Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They never played with fire again. They helped fix the bridge with the man and their parents. They brought yummy food and water to the ducks and the fish. They became good friends to the river and the animals. They became good children who respected fire and bridges.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the sand. They make a big castle with a flag and a door. They are happy and proud of their castle.
+
+A big dog comes and sees the castle. He is curious and wants to smell it. He walks to the castle and sniffs it. He notices that the sand is salty. He likes salt. He licks the sand and makes a hole in the castle.
+
+Tom and Lily hear a noisy sound. They look and see the dog. They are angry and scared. They shout at the dog.
+
+"Go away, dog! You are bad! You broke our castle!" Tom says.
+
+"Leave us alone, dog! You are mean! You ate our sand!" Lily says.
+
+The dog hears the children and feels sorry. He wags his tail and barks. He wants to play with them. He thinks they are fun.
+
+But Tom and Lily do not want to play with the dog. They run away from the dog. They find another place to play. They make a new castle with more sand. They hope the dog will not find them again.
+Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and giraffes. But their favorite animal was the monkey. The monkey was funny and smart. He jumped and swung on the trees. He made faces and noises at the children.
+
+"Can we feed the monkey, mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, we can't. The monkey has his own food. And we have to be patient and wait for our turn to see him. There are many other people who want to see him too," mom said.
+
+"But I want to give him a banana. He likes bananas, right?" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe he does, but we don't have any bananas. And we have to follow the rules of the zoo. The sign says 'Do not feed the animals'," mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily were sad. They wanted to be friends with the monkey. They looked at the monkey and smiled. The monkey looked back at them and smiled too. He seemed to like them.
+
+Then the monkey did something surprising. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a banana. He peeled it and ate it. He looked at Ben and Lily and winked.
+
+"Wow, did you see that? The monkey has his own banana!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe he brought it from home. Or maybe he found it somewhere. Or maybe someone gave it to him," Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe he guessed that we wanted to give him a banana. And he wanted to show us that he likes us too," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe you're right. He is a very clever monkey. And a very kind monkey," Lily said.
+
+Ben and Lily clapped and cheered. The monkey bowed and waved. He threw the banana peel into a trash can. He was a very tidy monkey too.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Ben and Lily. She was proud of them for being patient and respectful. She was also amazed by the monkey. He was a very special monkey.
+
+They all had a wonderful day at the zoo. And they never forgot the monkey who guessed their wish.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They were happy and laughed a lot.
+
+But then, a big dog came. It was not a nice dog. It was angry and loud. It barked and ran at them. Lily and Sam were scared. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily cried. "The dog is bad!"
+
+Sam saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up and threw it at the dog. He hoped the dog would go away. But the dog did not. It jumped and bit Sam's arm. Sam felt a lot of hurt. He screamed and dropped the stick.
+
+Lily ran to Sam. She saw the blood on his arm. She was very sad and scared. She hugged Sam and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry."
+
+The dog was still there. It growled and showed its teeth. It wanted to bite them more. Lily and Sam had no one to help them. They were alone and in danger.
+
+They sighed. They wished they had never come to the park. They wished they were at home with their mom and dad. They wished they had more oxygen to breathe. They wished they could be happy and laugh again. But they could not. The dog was bad. The end.
+Lily was a dancer. She liked to dance with her doll and her teddy. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored.
+
+One day, she saw a big box in the hall. It had a sticker that said "Do not open". Lily was nosy. She wanted to know what was in the box. She looked around and saw no one. She opened the box.
+
+Inside the box, there was a cake. It was a big cake, with pink icing and sprinkles. It looked yummy. Lily wanted to taste it. She took a bite.
+
+But the cake was bad. It was old and rot. It tasted yucky. Lily spat it out. She felt sick. She cried.
+
+Mom heard Lily cry. She ran to the hall. She saw the box, the cake, and Lily. She was angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do? This cake was for your aunt's birthday. It was a joke cake. It was supposed to rot. You were not supposed to open the box. You were nosy and naughty."
+
+Lily was sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was a bad dancer. I wanted to see the cake. I didn't know it was a joke. I won't be nosy again."
+
+Mom hugged Lily. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're not hurt. But you have to learn to listen and obey. And you have to brush your teeth. Come on, let's go to the bathroom."
+
+Lily and Mom went to the bathroom. Lily brushed her teeth. She felt better. She said, "Mom, can I still be a dancer?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Of course, Lily. You can be a dancer. But you have to be a good dancer. A good dancer is not nosy. A good dancer is careful and kind. A good dancer dances with love."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I will be a good dancer, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go and make a new cake for your aunt. A real cake. A yummy cake."
+
+Lily and Mom went to the kitchen. They made a new cake. They danced while they baked. They were happy.
+Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together and share their toys. One day, they found a camera in the park. It was shiny and had many buttons.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sam said. "We can take pictures with it!"
+
+"Let me see!" Lily said. She grabbed the camera from Sam and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Sam shouted. He chased after Lily, but she was too fast.
+
+Lily stopped near a food truck. She smelled something spicy and yummy. She saw a man selling tacos. She wanted to try one.
+
+"Can I have a taco, please?" she asked the man.
+
+"Sure, little girl. But you have to pay for it," the man said.
+
+Lily looked at the camera in her hand. She had an idea.
+
+"I can give you this camera. It is very nice and fun," she said.
+
+The man looked at the camera. He liked it. He nodded and gave Lily a taco.
+
+"Thank you!" Lily said. She took a big bite of the taco.
+
+But the taco was too spicy for her. She felt her mouth burn. She coughed and cried.
+
+"Help! Help! Water! Water!" she screamed.
+
+Sam heard Lily's voice. He ran to her and saw her in pain.
+
+"What happened?" he asked.
+
+"I ate a spicy taco. It hurts!" Lily said.
+
+"Where did you get the taco?" Sam asked.
+
+"I traded the camera for it," Lily said.
+
+Sam was angry and sad. He liked the camera. He wanted to share it with Lily. But she gave it away for a bad taco.
+
+"That was not a good thing to do, Lily. You should not take things that are not yours. And you should not trade them for things you don't know. You could get hurt or lose something you like," he said.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She realized she was wrong. She wished she could have the camera back.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. You are right. I was selfish and greedy. I should have asked you first. And I should have been careful with what I eat. Can you forgive me?" she said.
+
+Sam looked at Lily. He saw that she was sincere. He was still upset, but he was also kind. He hugged Lily.
+
+"Of course I forgive you, Lily. You are my best friend. But next time, please be more honest and respectful. And don't eat spicy food. It is not good for you," he said.
+
+Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She and Sam went to the man and asked for the camera back. The man was nice and gave it to them. He also gave them some water and a sweet treat.
+
+They thanked the man and left. They played with the camera and took pictures of each other. They had fun and laughed. They were happy again.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral: Don't take things that are not yours. Don't trade them for things you don't know. Be honest and respectful. And be careful with what you eat.
+Lily and Tom are playing with their blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with red, blue, yellow and green blocks. They are happy and proud of their tower.
+
+But then, Lily's baby brother Max comes crawling to them. He is curious and wants to play too. He reaches for the tower and pulls one block. The tower falls down with a loud crash. The blocks scatter all over the floor. Lily and Tom are sad and angry.
+
+"Max, no!" Lily shouts. "You broke our tower! Go away!"
+
+Max starts to cry. He does not understand why Lily is mad at him. He just wanted to join the fun.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and the tears. She picks up Max and hugs him. She wipes his face with a soft cloth. She says to Lily and Tom:
+
+"I know you are upset, but Max did not mean to ruin your tower. He is too little to know the rules. He just wanted to play with you. Can you forgive him and share your blocks with him?"
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other. They love their baby brother, but they also love their blocks. They do not want to share them with him. They think he will break them again.
+
+But then, they see Max's gray eyes. They are big and wet and sorry. They feel sorry for him too. They decide to give him a chance.
+
+"Okay, Mom," Lily says. "We will share our blocks with Max. But he has to be careful and gentle. And he has to listen to us."
+
+"Good," Mom says. "That is very kind and fair of you. I am proud of you. Now, let's clean up this mess and start a new tower. A bigger and better one. And this time, we will all play together."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They help Mom pick up the blocks and put them in a basket. They take turns giving Max a block to hold. They show him how to stack them and make shapes. They teach him the colors and the names of the blocks. They praise him when he does well. They have fun.
+
+Soon, they have a new tower. A bigger and better one. A tower with red, blue, yellow, green and gray blocks. A tower for Lily, Tom and Max. They are happy and proud of their tower. And of their brother.
+Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another block. They try to make it very high.
+
+"Look, Lily, our tower is so tall!" Ben says. He points to the tower. "It is taller than you!"
+
+Lily nods. She is happy. She likes the tower. She wants to make it taller. She finds another block. She tries to put it on the tower.
+
+But the tower is too high. The block falls down. It makes a loud noise. The tower breaks. The blocks go everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say. They are sad. They look at the broken tower.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben says. "I wanted to make you proud."
+
+Lily hugs Ben. She is not angry. She is kind. She says, "It's okay, Ben. You did a good job. I am proud of you. And I am proud of our tower. It was very tall. It was taller than an inch!"
+
+Ben smiles. He is glad. He hugs Lily back. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. And you are very smart. You know what an inch is!"
+
+They laugh. They are happy again. They pick up the blocks. They start to make a new tower. They have fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the library with their moms. The library has many books and toys. Lily and Ben want to see them all.
+
+They find a big display of cars and trucks. They are shiny and colorful. Lily and Ben love cars and trucks. They take some and play on the floor. They make noises and pretend to drive.
+
+"Look, Lily, this truck is big and strong. It can carry many things," Ben says.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that truck is cool. And look, this car is fast and pretty. It can go zoom, zoom, zoom," Lily says.
+
+They have fun with the cars and trucks. They share and take turns. They are good friends.
+
+Then, they see a display of dolls and animals. They are soft and cute. Lily and Ben love dolls and animals. They take some and sit on a seat. They hug and talk to them.
+
+"Hello, doll, you are so nice and pretty. Do you want to be my friend?" Lily says.
+
+"Hello, animal, you are so fuzzy and funny. Do you want to play with me?" Ben says.
+
+They have fun with the dolls and animals. They are gentle and kind. They are good friends.
+
+The moms watch Lily and Ben. They are happy and proud. They see that Lily and Ben are helpful and polite. They help each other and say please and thank you. They put the toys and books back on the display. They are good friends.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. But they always want more toys.
+
+One day, they go to the shop with their mom. They see a big, shiny toy car. They both want the toy car.
+
+"Mom, I need this toy car!" Tom says.
+
+"No, I need this toy car!" Mia says.
+
+They start to fight over the toy car. They pull and push and shout. Mom is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting! You have enough toys at home. You don't need this toy car. You need to share and be kind."
+
+Tom and Mia feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, friend." They hug and make up. They don't buy the toy car. They go back home and play with their toys. They share and take turns. They have fun. They are playful and happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: You don't need more toys to be happy. You need to share and be kind to your friends.
+Lily loved her doll very much. She named her doll Rose and gave her hugs and kisses every day. She also liked to dress her up in pretty clothes and comb her hair. Lily was very compassionate with her doll and never hurt her.
+
+One day, Lily's brother Tom was bored and wanted to play with Lily. He saw Rose on Lily's bed and took her without asking. He thought it would be fun to cut her hair and draw on her face. He also ripped her dress and threw her on the floor. He spoiled Lily's doll and made her very ugly.
+
+Lily came back to her room and saw what Tom had done. She was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted at Tom. "You are mean and naughty! You spoiled my doll! She was my favorite object and you ruined her! I hate you!" She ran to her mom and told her what happened.
+
+Mom was very upset with Tom and scolded him. She told him to apologize to Lily and help her fix her doll. She also took away his toys and said he could not watch TV for a week. She was compassionate with Lily and hugged her. She said she was sorry for what Tom did and that she loved her very much.
+
+Tom felt sorry for what he did and said he was sorry to Lily. He helped her glue her doll's hair back and wash her face. He also gave her a new dress and a sticker. He said he loved her and that he would not spoil her doll again. Lily forgave him and hugged him. She said she loved him too and that he could play with her doll sometimes. They both learned to be compassionate and share their objects.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. They ran up the hill and looked at the sky. It was very pretty. They saw many colors: red, orange, yellow, pink and purple. They saw the sun go down. It was sunset.
+
+"Wow, look at the sunset!" Anna said. "It is so beautiful!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "But we should go home soon. It will be dark and cold."
+
+They started to go down the hill. But Ben slipped and fell. He scraped his knee and it hurt. He cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said. "My knee hurts!"
+
+Anna ran to him and hugged him. She saw blood on his knee. She was scared.
+
+"Don't cry, Ben!" Anna said. "I will help you. Here, take my handkerchief and put it on your knee. It will stop the blood."
+
+"Thank you, Anna!" Ben said. "You are a good friend."
+
+They walked slowly to the park gate. They heard a bell ring. It was their mom. She came to pick them up. She saw Ben's knee and felt sorry for him.
+
+"What happened, Ben?" Mom asked. "Did you hurt yourself?"
+
+"I fell down the hill and scraped my knee," Ben said. "But Anna helped me. She gave me her handkerchief and hugged me."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them both. She was proud of them.
+
+"You are very brave, Ben," Mom said. "And you are very kind, Anna. You are both wonderful children. Come on, let's go home and have some cookies and milk. And I will put a band-aid on your knee, Ben. It will make it feel better."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and nodded. They held Mom's hand and walked to the car. They looked at the sky again. The sunset was fading, but it was still beautiful. They felt happy and loved.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a club. The club is a big box. They put the box under a tree. They say, "This is our club. No one can come in."
+
+One day, a fat cat comes to the park. The cat sees the box. The cat thinks, "This is a good place to sleep." The cat goes inside the box. Tim and Sam do not see the cat.
+
+Tim and Sam run to the box. They want to play in the club. They open the box. They see the fat cat. The cat hisses at them. Tim and Sam are scared. They say, "Go away, cat! This is our club!"
+
+The cat does not go away. The cat says, "No, this is my club. You go away!" Tim and Sam are angry. They say, "No, this is our club. We made it. You are mean!"
+
+The cat and the boys fight. They push and pull the box. The box breaks. The cat and the boys fall out. They are sad. They have no club.
+
+A girl comes to the park. The girl sees the cat and the boys. The girl says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" The cat and the boys tell her. The girl says, "That is silly. You can all share the box. You can all be in the club. You can all be friends."
+
+The cat and the boys look at the girl. They think, "She is nice. She is smart. She is right." They say, "OK, we will share the box. We will be in the club. We will be friends." The girl smiles. She says, "Good. I will be in the club too. I will help you fix the box." The cat and the boys say, "Thank you. We trust you." They all hug. They all play in the park. They are happy. They have a club.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys on the table. But today, the table is empty. Mom says she needs the table for a big cake. She says the cake is for a surprise.

+Tom and Mia are curious. They want to see the surprise. They wait until Mom goes to the kitchen. Then they sneak to the table. They see a big box with a bow. They think it is the surprise.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom says. He holds the bow and pulls. Mia holds the box and helps. They open the box. They see a fluffy puppy. The puppy wags its tail and licks their faces.

+
+One day, Sara wants to wear her pink dress with flowers. She looks for it in her closet, but she cannot find it. She asks her mom, "Where is my pink dress?" Her mom says, "It is in the laundry. You cannot wear it today. Why don't you wear your blue dress with stars? It is also very attractive."
+
+Sara is sad. She does not like her blue dress with stars. She thinks it is boring and ugly. She says, "No, I want to wear my pink dress. It is my favorite." She starts to cry and stomp her feet.
+
+Her mom tries to calm her down. She says, "Sara, don't be so upset. You have many other dresses to choose from. Look, here is your yellow dress with butterflies. It is very bright and cheerful. Or here is your green dress with polka dots. It is very fun and cute. Or here is your purple dress with hearts. It is very sweet and lovely. You will look attractive in any of them."
+

+Anna liked to play with her blocks. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could make towers, bridges, houses and animals with her blocks. She was very good at adding blocks to make bigger things.
+
+One day, she had a new idea. She wanted to make symbols with her blocks. Symbols were things that meant something else. Like a heart meant love, or a star meant night. She looked at her blocks and thought hard. She picked some red blocks and made a heart. She picked some yellow blocks and made a star. She picked some green blocks and made a tree.
+
+She was very happy with her symbols. She showed them to her mom. "Look, mom, I made symbols with my blocks!" she said.

+Sara was a curious girl who liked to explore new places. One day, she saw a big hole in the ground near her house. She wondered what was inside the hole. She wanted to go down and see.
+
+She asked her mom if she could go to the hole. Her mom said no, it was too dangerous. There might be bugs or snakes or bad people in the hole. Sara felt sad, but she listened to her mom.
+
+But the next day, when her mom was busy, Sara sneaked out of the house. She ran to the hole and looked inside. It was dark and scary, but also exciting. She saw a ladder that went down to the underground. She decided to climb down the ladder and see what was there.
+
+She managed to go down a few steps, but then she heard a loud noise. It was a train that was coming from the underground. Sara was scared and wanted to go back up. But the ladder was shaking and she lost her balance. She fell down to the underground and hurt her leg.
+
+She cried and cried, but no one heard her. She was alone and cold and in pain. She wished she had listened to her mom and stayed away from the hole. She learned a hard lesson that day. She hoped someone would find her and help her.
+Sam and Mia were scared. A big storm was coming. It was called a hurricane. It made loud noises and strong winds. It could break things and hurt people.
+
+They hid under a blanket with their mom and dad. They had a flashlight and some toys. Mom and dad told them stories to make them feel better.
+
+"Listen, kids," dad said. "The hurricane will not last forever. It will go away soon. We are safe here. We have each other and we love you."
+
+Sam and Mia nodded. They hugged their mom and dad. They listened to their voices and their hearts.
+
+But the hurricane was harsh. It shook the house and tore the roof. It threw things around and made a mess. It scared Sam and Mia more.
+
+They cried and screamed. They wanted the hurricane to stop. They wanted to be happy again.
+
+"Shh, shh, shh," mom said. "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. We are still here. We are still safe. The hurricane will stop soon. We will be happy again."
+
+Sam and Mia tried to calm down. They wiped their tears and snuggled with their mom and dad. They listened to their words and their breaths.
+
+And then, the hurricane stopped. It became quiet and still. The sun came out and shone. The birds sang and flew.
+
+Sam and Mia peeked out of the blanket. They saw the sky and the trees. They saw their house and their yard. They saw some damage and some dirt. But they also saw some hope and some beauty.
+
+They smiled and cheered. They thanked their mom and dad. They listened to their laughter and their claps.
+
+They were happy again.
+Sam and Lily liked to play with blocks. They wanted to build a restaurant with their blocks. They put some blocks on the floor and made a big square. Then they put more blocks on top and made walls and a roof. They used red blocks for the door and yellow blocks for the windows. They were happy with their restaurant.
+
+But then Tom came. Tom was a big boy who liked to break things. He saw Sam and Lily's restaurant and he wanted to play with it. He did not ask them. He just walked over and kicked the blocks. The restaurant fell down and the blocks went everywhere. Sam and Lily were sad and angry. They shouted at Tom.
+
+"Tom, you are mean! You broke our restaurant! We worked hard to build it! Go away!"
+
+Tom laughed. He did not care. He liked to make Sam and Lily cry. He was fierce and rude. He kicked more blocks and ran away.
+
+Sam and Lily felt bad. They wanted to build their restaurant again, but they did not have enough blocks. Some blocks were broken and some blocks were lost. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then Ben came. Ben was a nice boy who liked to help. He saw Sam and Lily's problem and he felt sorry for them. He had some blocks in his backpack. He took them out and gave them to Sam and Lily.
+
+"Here, you can have my blocks. I have plenty. You can build your restaurant again. I can help you if you want."
+
+Sam and Lily smiled. They thanked Ben. They took his blocks and started to build their restaurant again. They invited Ben to join them. They used his blocks and their blocks and made a bigger and better restaurant. They had fun together. They were happy and friendly.
+
+Tom saw them from afar. He felt lonely and bored. He wished he had friends to play with. He realized he was wrong to break Sam and Lily's restaurant. He learned that being fierce and rude does not make you happy. He learned that being nice and helpful makes you happy. He decided to change his ways. He walked over to Sam and Lily and Ben and said sorry.
+
+"Can I play with you? I am sorry I broke your restaurant. I was bad. I want to be good. I want to be your friend."
+
+Sam and Lily and Ben looked at him. They were surprised. They saw that Tom was sincere. They decided to give him a chance. They forgave him. They welcomed him to their restaurant. They shared their blocks with him. They played together. They were happy and friendly.
+
+The moral of the story is: Being nice and helpful is better than being fierce and rude. Sharing and forgiving make you happy and make friends.

+One day, her family decided to take a trip to the park. Lily was very excited. She loved to see the flowers, the birds, and the swings. She put on her hat and shoes, and got into the car with her family.
+
+At the park, Lily's mom said, "Lily, you can play on the swings, but stay close to us. Don't go too far, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will be obedient." She ran to the swings and had a lot of fun. She saw some other kids and made new friends.
+
+After a while, Lily's dad called her. "Lily, it's time to go. Come here, please."
+
+Lily said goodbye to her friends and ran to her dad. She gave him a hug and said, "Thank you, dad, for taking me to the park. I had a lot of fun."
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm proud of you for being obedient. You're a good girl."
+
+Lily smiled and got into the car with her family. She was happy and tired. She closed her eyes and dreamed of the park.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, but their favorite was the sheep. The sheep were soft and white and made funny noises.
+
+One day, their grandma came to visit them. She brought a big bag with her and said, "I have a surprise for you, my dears. I made something for you with the wool from the sheep."
+
+She opened the bag and took out two sweaters, one blue and one pink. They had sheep on them, just like the ones on the farm. Tim and Lily were very happy and excited. They hugged their grandma and said, "Thank you, grandma! We love the sweaters!"
+
+They tried on the sweaters and they fit perfectly. They were warm and cozy and they looked like the sheep. They ran outside to show the sheep their new clothes. The sheep baaed and nodded, as if they liked the sweaters too.
+
+Tim and Lily were very polite and thanked the sheep for their wool. They said, "You are very kind and generous, sheep. We appreciate your gift. We will take good care of you and your wool."
+
+The sheep baaed and smiled, as if they understood. They were happy to see Tim and Lily so happy. They played together on the farm, wearing their sheep sweaters. They were a very happy family.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to travel with their parents. They go to many places and see many things. Sometimes they travel by car, sometimes by train, sometimes by plane.
+
+One day, they travel to a place where it is winter. They see snow and ice everywhere. They wear warm clothes and boots. They want to play in the snow.
+
+"Look, Tom, a big hill!" Anna says. "Let's go and slide down!"
+
+"OK, Anna, that sounds fun!" Tom says. "But be careful, it looks slippery!"
+
+They run to the hill and find a big sled. They sit on the sled and hold on tight. They push off and zoom down the hill. They feel the wind and the snow on their faces. They laugh and scream.
+
+They reach the bottom of the hill and stop. They are wet and cold, but happy.
+
+"That was awesome!" Tom says. "Do you want to go again?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Anna says. "Let's go again!"
+
+They get up and drag the sled back to the top of the hill. They are ready for another ride. They love to travel and have fun in the winter.
+Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big, round, orange squash growing on a vine. They were curious about it and wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can we hold the squash?" Mia asked their mom, who was watering the flowers.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It is heavy and you might drop it," mom said.
+
+Mia and Leo ran to the squash and each grabbed one side. They tried to lift it, but it was too hard. They pulled and pulled, but the squash did not move.
+
+"Let me hold it by myself!" Leo said. He wanted to show his sister that he was stronger.
+
+"No, I want to hold it by myself!" Mia said. She wanted to show her brother that she was smarter.
+
+They started to argue and tug at the squash. They did not notice that the vine was breaking.
+
+Snap! The vine broke and the squash rolled off. It bounced on the ground and hit a rock. It cracked open and spilled seeds and pulp everywhere.
+
+Mia and Leo gasped. They looked at the mess and then at each other. They felt sorry for what they had done.
+
+"Sorry, Leo," Mia said.
+
+"Sorry, Mia," Leo said.
+
+They hugged and then went to find their mom. They hoped she would not be mad at them. They learned that they should not fight over things and that they should share and help each other.
+Anna loved to play her flute. She played it every day, in her room, in the garden, and sometimes at school. She liked to make music and hear the sounds. She was very good at playing her flute.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her flute with her, because she wanted to play it there too. She saw a big slide and was eager to go on it. She ran to the slide and left her flute on a bench. She did not think anyone would take it.
+
+She had fun on the slide, but when she came back to the bench, her flute was gone. She looked around and saw a boy holding her flute. He was trying to play it, but he did not know how. He made loud and bad noises. Anna was angry and sad. She ran to the boy and said, "That is my flute! Give it back!"
+
+The boy did not want to give it back. He said, "No, it is mine now. I found it on the bench. You left it there, so you do not want it." He ran away with the flute.
+
+Anna cried and told her mom and dad what happened. They tried to find the boy, but he was gone. Anna felt sorry for herself. She wished she had not left her flute on the bench. She learned a lesson. She learned that she should take care of her things and not leave them alone. She hoped that one day she would find her flute again, or get a new one. She missed her flute very much.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play sport together. They play ball, run, and jump. They have fun and laugh.
+
+One day, they see a big slide at the park. It is very high and long. Anna wants to try it, but Ben is scared. He thinks he will fall and hurt himself.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide!" Anna says. "It looks like fun!"
+
+"I don't know, Anna. It is too big for me. I am afraid," Ben says.
+
+"Don't be afraid, Ben. I will go with you. You can trust me. I will hold your hand and we will go down together. It will be okay," Anna says.
+
+She takes Ben's hand and leads him to the slide. Ben feels nervous, but he trusts Anna. He follows her to the top of the slide. They sit down and hold hands.
+
+"Are you ready, Ben?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, Anna. I am ready," Ben says.
+
+They slide down the big slide. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They go fast and smooth. They reach the bottom and laugh.
+
+"That was fun, Anna! Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend," Ben says.
+
+"You are welcome, Ben. You are a brave boy. I am proud of you," Anna says.
+
+They hug and smile. They go on the slide again and again. They enjoy the sport and the friendship. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is very high and shiny. Anna wants to try it, but Ben is scared.
+
+"I dare you to go on the slide," Anna says to Ben. "It looks fun."
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, it is too high. I might fall."
+
+Anna laughs. "Don't be a baby. I will go first and show you. It is easy."
+
+Anna runs to the slide and climbs the ladder. She sits on the top and smiles at Ben. She slides down very fast. She is not afraid. She is graceful. She lands on the ground and jumps up.
+
+"See? It was fun. Now it is your turn," Anna says to Ben.
+
+Ben walks to the slide. He looks at the ladder. He looks at the exit. He looks at Anna. He is still scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben. You can do it. I dare you," Anna says.
+
+Ben takes a deep breath. He climbs the ladder. He sits on the top. He slides down very fast. He is not graceful. He screams. He lands on the ground and falls.
+
+"Ouch! That hurt. I don't like the slide," Ben says.
+
+Anna runs to Ben. She helps him up. She hugs him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to make you scared. Are you okay?" Anna says.
+
+Ben nods. He hugs Anna back.
+
+"I'm okay. Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. But I don't want to go on the slide again," Ben says.
+
+Anna smiles. "That's okay, Ben. We can play something else. How about the swings?"
+
+Ben smiles too. "Yes, I like the swings. Let's go."
+
+Anna and Ben hold hands. They walk to the swings. They are happy. They are friends.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to travel. They wanted to see new things and have fun. One day, they found a big vine that hung from a tall tree. It looked like a swing.
+
+"Let's try it!" Anna said. "It looks like fun!"
+
+Ben was not sure. He saw some red spots on the vine. He thought they might be bad.
+
+"Wait, Anna. I think the vine is sick. See the red spots? They might hurt us."
+
+Anna did not listen. She was ignorant. She thought Ben was scared. She laughed at him.
+
+"You are silly, Ben. The vine is not sick. The red spots are just flowers. They are pretty. Come on, don't be a baby."
+
+She grabbed the vine and swung on it. She felt happy and free. She shouted to Ben.
+
+"See, Ben? This is fun! You are missing out!"
+
+Ben watched her. He felt sad and worried. He wanted to have fun too, but he also wanted to be safe. He did not know what to do.
+
+Suddenly, Anna screamed. The vine broke. She fell to the ground. She hurt her arm and leg. She cried.
+
+"Help, Ben! Help me!"
+
+Ben ran to her. He saw blood on her arm and leg. He also saw red spots on her skin. They were not flowers. They were bugs. They bit her. They made her sick.
+
+He was scared. He did not know how to help her. He looked for help. He saw a man who worked in the park. He called him.
+
+"Help, sir! Help! My friend is hurt!"
+
+The man came. He saw Anna. He saw the vine. He saw the bugs. He knew what they were. They were poisonous. They could make people very sick.
+
+He took out his phone. He called an ambulance. He told Ben.
+
+"Your friend is in trouble. She swung on a poisonous vine. The red spots are not flowers. They are fire ants. They have venom. She needs a doctor. You were lucky. You did not swing on the vine. You were smart. You saw the red spots. You were careful."
+
+He put a blanket on Anna. He tried to calm her. He waited for the ambulance.
+
+Ben felt sorry for Anna. He wished he had stopped her. He wished she had listened to him. He learned a lesson. He learned that being ignorant is not good. He learned that being careful is better. He learned that being a friend means being honest and helpful. He hoped Anna would be okay. He hoped she would learn too.
+Mira and her dog Rolo were walking in the park. They liked to see the trees, the birds and the flowers. Rolo was a loyal dog. He always stayed close to Mira and protected her from danger.
+
+Mira saw a big tree with green and yellow fruits. She did not know what they were. She wanted to try one. She asked Rolo, "What are those fruits, Rolo? Can we eat them?"
+
+Rolo did not know either. He sniffed the fruits and barked. He did not like the smell. He said, "I don't know, Mira. They smell bad. I don't think we should eat them."
+
+Mira was curious. She reached for a fruit. It was round and soft. She pulled it from the tree. It was a pear. She bit into it. It was sweet and juicy. She liked it. She said, "Mmm, this is good, Rolo. It is a pear. You should try it."
+
+Rolo was not sure. He looked at the pear. He did not trust it. He said, "No, thank you, Mira. I don't like pears. I like bones and meat. You can have it."
+
+Mira smiled. She said, "Okay, Rolo. You are a good dog. I love you. Here, have a treat." She gave Rolo a biscuit. He wagged his tail. He loved Mira too. They were happy. They continued their walk in the park.
+Lila and Ben were twins who loved to look at the stars. Every night, they would go outside with their dad and point at the bright dots in the sky. Dad would tell them the names of the stars and the shapes they made.
+
+One night, Dad said, "Look, kids, there is something special in the sky. It is a comet. A comet is a ball of ice and dust that flies very fast. Sometimes, it has a long tail of light behind it. Do you see it?"
+
+Lila and Ben looked up and saw a bright streak in the sky. It was the comet. They were amazed and excited. They wanted to see it closer. They asked Dad, "Can we go to the hill and see the comet better?"
+
+Dad nodded and said, "Sure, let's go. But we have to be careful. It is dark and cold outside. We have to wear warm clothes and bring a flashlight. And we have to stay together. OK?"
+
+Lila and Ben agreed and ran to get their coats and hats. They were anxious to see the comet. They followed Dad to the car and drove to the hill. When they got there, they saw a few other people who had come to see the comet too. They smiled and said hello. They were happy to share the wonder of the sky.
+
+They climbed the hill and found a good spot to watch the comet. It was beautiful and bright. It looked like a star with a long hair. Lila and Ben asked Dad many questions about the comet. Dad answered them as best as he could. He said, "The comet is very rare. It only comes once in a long time. We are lucky to see it. It is a gift from nature. We should be thankful and respectful."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded and said, "Thank you, comet. Thank you, nature. Thank you, Dad." They hugged Dad and each other. They felt warm and happy. They learned that the comet was a special sight and a reminder to appreciate the beauty of the world. They also learned that sharing the experience with others made it more meaningful. They welcomed the comet and the people who came to see it. They were glad they went to the hill.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with many flowers. They heard a buzzing sound. "What is that?" Lily asked. "Maybe it is a bee," Ben said. "Bees make honey. Honey is sweet and yummy."
+
+They went closer to the tree. They saw a hole in the trunk. They smelled something smelly. "Ew, what is that?" Ben asked. "Maybe it is honey," Lily said. "Honey is not smelly. Honey is nice."
+
+They reached out their hands to touch the hole. They wanted to taste the honey. But they did not know that the hole was not a honey hole. It was a skunk hole. A skunk lived inside the tree. The skunk did not like visitors. The skunk was angry.
+
+The skunk came out of the hole. It saw Lily and Ben. It lifted its tail. It sprayed them with a stinky spray. "Aaah!" Lily and Ben screamed. They ran away from the tree. They were wet and smelly. They cried and cried.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them. They came to the garden. They saw Lily and Ben. They smelled the skunk spray. They shook their heads. "Oh, no," Mom said. "You touched the wrong hole. That was not a honey hole. That was a skunk hole. Skunks are not nice. Skunks are mean."
+
+They took Lily and Ben to the house. They gave them a bath. They washed them with soap and water. They dried them with towels. They hugged them and kissed them. They gave them some real honey. Honey was sweet and yummy. Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They never touched the skunk hole again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily finds a big red ball in the park. She is very happy. She wants to show Ben her new ball.
+
+She runs to Ben's house and knocks on the door. Ben's mom opens the door. She says, "Hello, Lily. Ben is in his room. You can go and play with him."
+
+Lily goes to Ben's room. She sees Ben playing with his cars. She says, "Look, Ben. I have a big red ball. It is very fun. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben looks at Lily's ball. He likes it. He wants to have it. He says, "Yes, Lily. I want to play with you. But can I have your ball? It is very nice. I will give you my cars."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes her ball. She does not want to give it to Ben. She says, "No, Ben. I want to keep my ball. It is mine. I found it in the park. You can play with it, but you cannot have it."
+
+Ben gets angry. He says, "No, Lily. I want to have your ball. It is not fair. You have a big red ball and I have small cars. Give me your ball or I will not be your friend."
+
+Lily gets sad. She does not want to lose her friend. She says, "Please, Ben. Do not be mean. We can share the ball and the cars. We can have fun together. That is what friends do."
+
+Ben does not listen. He grabs Lily's ball and runs away. He says, "Ha ha, Lily. I have your ball now. You are crazy. I do not want to be your friend."
+
+Lily cries. She feels bad. She does not know what to do. She goes to Ben's mom and tells her what happened. Ben's mom is not happy. She says, "Ben, come here. Why did you take Lily's ball? That is not nice. You have to give it back to her and say sorry."
+
+Ben comes back. He sees Lily crying. He sees his mom looking at him. He feels bad. He says, "I am sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have taken your ball. Here, you can have it back. And you can have my cars too. You are my friend. I do not want to hurt you."
+
+Lily stops crying. She smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. You are my friend too. I do not want to fight with you. We can share the ball and the cars. We can have fun together."
+
+Ben and Lily hug. They say sorry to Ben's mom. They go and play with the ball and the cars. They are happy. They learn to be kind and to share. That is the moral of the story.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toy birds. They have a blue bird and a red bird. They make them fly and sing in the air.
+
+"Look, my bird is faster than yours!" Ben says.
+
+"No, mine is faster and prettier!" Anna says.
+
+They have fun with their birds until Anna sees something on the floor. It is a feather. A big, green feather.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Anna asks. She picks up the feather and shows it to Ben.
+
+"That is a weird feather. It is not from our birds. Our birds have blue and red feathers," Ben says.
+
+"Maybe it is from a real bird. A big, green bird that flew in the window and lost its feather," Anna says.
+
+They look around the room, but they do not see any big, green bird. They only see their toy birds and their other toys.
+
+"Where is the big, green bird?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it flew away. Maybe it is hiding. Maybe it is magic," Anna says.
+
