He realized that when he surrendered to the sun's power instead of trying to fight it, he felt more fulfilled and energetic. + +The moral of Peter's story is simple.

He put down his book. + +"What do you want to see?" Ben asked. He was curious. + +"I want to see how you play with the plate. It looks like a fun toy." the neighbor said. He liked to learn new things. + +"OK, we can show you. Watch this." Ben said. He picked up the plate and threw it to Lily. Lily caught it and threw it back to Ben. They did this several times. + +"Wow, that is amazing. You are very clever. You can make a plate fly like a bird." the neighbor said. He clapped his hands. + +"Thank you, neighbor. You are very kind. Can we have our ball now?" Lily said. She hoped he would say yes. + +"Of course, you can. Here it is." the neighbor said. He reached over the fence and gave them the ball. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lily and Ben said. They hugged the ball. + +"You are welcome, welcome, welcome. Have fun, children. And come back anytime. I like to talk to you." the neighbor said. He waved at them. + +Lily and Ben waved back. They ran to the garden. They played with the ball and the plate. They were happy. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play at the gym. The gym has a big rope. Sam and Ben want to climb the rope. + +"Look, I can tie a knot on the rope!" Sam says. He shows Ben how to make a loop and pull the end through. "Now you try!" + +Ben tries to tie a knot, but he is not good at it. His knot is loose and messy. He feels sad. + +"Let me help you," Sam says. He takes the rope from Ben and makes a smooth and tight knot. "There, now you can climb!" + +Ben smiles and thanks Sam. He grabs the rope and starts to climb. He feels happy. + +But Sam is not nice. He has a bad plan. He waits until Ben is high on the rope. Then he pulls the knot hard. The knot comes undone. Ben falls down. He hits the floor. He cries. He is hurt. + +Sam laughs. He thinks it is funny. He runs away. + +Ben is alone. He is sad and angry. He wishes he had a better friend. +Sara liked to draw. She had many colors to make her pictures. She liked to draw flowers and animals and people. She wanted to draw a butterfly, but she did not have a purple color. She saw that Lily had a purple color in her box. + +"Can I borrow your purple color, Lily?" Sara asked. + +Lily looked at Sara and shook her head. "No, you can't. It is my original color. I got it from my grandma. It is very special. You can't use it." + +Sara felt sad. She wanted to draw a butterfly, but she did not have a purple color. She looked around and saw a real butterfly on a flower. It had purple and yellow and blue on its wings. It was very pretty. + +Sara had an idea. She took her yellow and blue colors and mixed them on a paper. She made a new color. It was green. She smiled. She used her green color and her red color and her black color to draw a butterfly. It was very original. It looked like the real butterfly, but different. + +"Look, Lily, I made a butterfly!" Sara said. + +Lily looked at Sara's picture. She saw the green and red and black butterfly. It was very original. She liked it. + +"Wow, Sara, your butterfly is very original. It is very pretty. Can I borrow your green color?" Lily asked. + +Sara nodded. "Yes, you can. It is my original color. I made it from my yellow and blue colors. It is very special. You can use it." + +Sara and Lily shared their colors and drew more butterflies. They had fun. They made many original pictures. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bell on a hill. It was shiny and had a rope. Ben wanted to ring the bell, but Lily was scared. + +"Come on, Lily, let's ring the bell. It will be fun!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben, it might be loud and hurt our ears. And maybe someone will be angry with us. Let's go back to the swings," Lily said. + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran up the hill and pulled the rope. The bell rang with a loud and bitter sound. It made Ben and Lily cover their ears. It also made a lot of birds fly away from the trees. And it made a man come out of a house near the hill. He was not happy. + +"Who rang the bell? Who disturbed my nap?" the man shouted. He saw Ben and Lily on the hill. He waved his fist and started to walk towards them. + +Ben and Lily were afraid. They ran down the hill and back to the swings. They wished they had not rung the bell. + +The moral of the story is: listen to your sister and do not do things that might cause trouble. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going to the circus with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags with snacks and toys. They got in the car and drove to the big tent. + +When they got there, they saw many people and animals. They saw horses, elephants, lions, and monkeys. They saw clowns with funny faces and clothes. They saw acrobats who jumped and flipped in the air. They saw a magician who made things disappear and reappear. They clapped and laughed and had a lot of fun. + +But one clown was not happy. He was a modern clown. He had a phone and a laptop and a camera. He did not do any tricks or jokes. He just took pictures of himself and posted them online. He wanted everyone to see how cool he was. He did not care about the other clowns or the audience. + +Lily and Ben saw the modern clown. They did not like him. They thought he was boring and rude. They wanted him to join the fun and make them laugh. They decided to teach him a lesson. + +They waited until the modern clown was busy with his phone. They sneaked up behind him and unpacked his bag. They took out his laptop and his camera and his phone. They hid them under a pile of hay. Then they ran away and giggled. + +The modern clown did not notice. He kept taking pictures of himself. But when he wanted to post them online, he could not find his laptop or his phone or his camera. He looked everywhere, but he could not find them. He was very angry and sad. He realized he had missed the whole show. He realized he had no friends. He realized he had been very silly. + +He saw Lily and Ben. They were smiling and waving at him. They had his laptop and his phone and his camera. They gave them back to him. They said, "We are sorry we took your things. But we wanted you to have fun with us. The circus is not for showing off. The circus is for sharing and laughing. Will you be our friend?" + +The modern clown felt ashamed. He said, "I am sorry I was so selfish. I was not a good clown. I was not a good person. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. I want to have fun with you. I want to be your friend." + +He hugged Lily and Ben. He put away his laptop and his phone and his camera. He joined the other clowns. He did tricks and jokes. He made everyone laugh. He was happy. + +The end. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They also had a green dragon. The dragon was not real, but they pretended it was. They gave it a name: Fluffy. + +One day, they were playing with Fluffy in the sandbox. They made a castle for him with sand and sticks. They also made a crown for him with flowers and leaves. They said, "You are the king of the park, Fluffy. You are very strong and brave." + +Fluffy did not say anything, but he smiled with his big teeth. He liked Tim and Mia. They were his friends. + +But then, a big boy came to the park. He saw Fluffy and said, "What is that? That is not a dragon. That is a silly toy. Can I have it?" + +Tim and Mia said, "No, you can't. Fluffy is ours. He is not a toy. He is a dragon. He is the king of the park." + +The big boy did not listen. He grabbed Fluffy and ran away. Tim and Mia were very sad. They cried and shouted, "Give Fluffy back! Give Fluffy back!" + +The big boy did not care. He threw Fluffy in a trash can and laughed. He said, "That is where he belongs. He is not a dragon. He is a piece of junk." + +Tim and Mia ran to the trash can. They saw Fluffy. He was dirty and broken. His crown was gone. His smile was gone. He looked very sad. + +Tim and Mia hugged Fluffy and said, "We are sorry, Fluffy. We love you. You are still a dragon. You are still the king of the park. We will always remember you." + +They took Fluffy home and cleaned him. They fixed him with glue and tape. They made him a new crown. They put him on their bed and said, "Good night, Fluffy. You are our best friend." + +Fluffy did not say anything, but he smiled with his big teeth. He liked Tim and Mia. They were his friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big box in the park. They think it is a good place to play. + +"Let's make a fort with the box," Tom says. + +"OK, but I want to be the boss," Sam says. + +They put the box on the grass and cut a door and a window. They bring some sticks and stones to make it strong. They are happy with their fort. + +But then, they hear a loud roar. They look out the window and see a fierce lion. The lion is hungry and angry. It wants to eat them. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Sam shout. + +They are very scared. They try to close the door, but the lion is too fast. It pushes the door with its paw and breaks it. It sticks its head inside the box. + +"Go away, go away!" Tom and Sam cry. + +They throw their cars and trucks at the lion, but it does not care. It opens its mouth and shows its big teeth. + +But then, they see a man with a hat and a whip. He is the lion tamer. He came to the park to look for his lion. He sees the lion in the box and runs to it. + +"Bad lion, bad lion!" he says. He cracks his whip and makes a loud noise. He tips the box over and makes the lion fall out. He grabs the lion by its collar and pulls it away. + +"Sorry, boys, sorry," he says. "My lion escaped from the circus. He is not mean, he is just scared. Are you OK?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They are glad the lion is gone. They are glad the man saved them. + +"Thank you, thank you," they say. + +The man smiles. He gives them each a ticket to the circus. + +"Come and see my lion and other animals," he says. "They are not fierce, they are friendly. They do tricks and make people laugh." + +Tom and Sam smile. They like the circus. They like the man. They like their fort. + +They decide to share the boss. They are still friends. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a cute bird on a tree. The bird has red and yellow feathers. It sings a nice song. + +"Look, Lily, a bird!" Tim says. + +"I see it, Tim. It is so cute!" Lily says. + +They want to see the bird better. They walk to the tree. But the bird is shy. It flies away to another tree. + +"Come back, bird!" Tim calls. + +"Please, bird, we want to be your friends!" Lily says. + +They follow the bird to the next tree. But the bird flies away again. It goes to a big pitch. There are many people on the pitch. They play with a ball. + +"Wow, look at the pitch, Tim!" Lily says. + +"It is so big and green!" Tim says. + +They run to the pitch. They want to play with the ball too. But the bird is still on the pitch. It sits on the goal post. It watches the people. + +"Hello, bird!" Tim and Lily say. + +The bird looks at them. It tilts its head. It sings a short song. + +"Hello, Tim and Lily!" the bird says. + +Tim and Lily are surprised. They did not know the bird can talk. + +"You can talk, bird?" Tim asks. + +"Yes, I can talk, Tim. I am a smart bird. And you are nice kids. Do you want to play with me?" the bird asks. + +"Yes, we want to play with you, bird!" Lily says. + +"OK, then. Let's play! I can fly, and you can run. We can have fun on the pitch!" the bird says. + +Tim and Lily are happy. They play with the bird on the pitch. They laugh and sing. The bird is their new friend. They have a good time. +Ben and Sam are playing with toy guns in the park. They like to pretend they are cowboys and robbers. Ben has a red gun and Sam has a blue gun. They run and hide behind trees and rocks. + +"Bang, bang, bang!" Ben shouts, pointing his gun at Sam. "I got you, robber! You are in big trouble!" + +"No, you didn't!" Sam says, dodging behind a rock. "You missed me, cowboy! You are a bad shot!" + +Sam pops out from the rock and shoots back at Ben. "Bang, bang, bang!" Sam yells, aiming his gun at Ben. "I got you, cowboy! You are in big pain!" + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries, holding his stomach. "You hit me, robber! You hit me in my stomach! It hurts a lot!" + +Sam runs over to Ben and sees him lying on the ground. He feels sorry for him. He drops his gun and hugs him. "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just a game. Are you okay?" + +Ben stops crying and hugs Sam back. He feels better. He smiles and says, "I'm okay, Sam. It's just a game. You are a good friend." + +They get up and pick up their guns. They decide to play something else. They see a slide and a swing. They run to them and have fun. They forget about their rough game. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toy cars on the floor. They have a big track with many turns and hills. They like to make their cars go fast and see who can win the race. + +"Look, Lily, I have a new car!" Tom says, showing her a shiny red car with a big spoiler. "It is very fast and cool. Do you want to try it?" + +"Wow, Tom, your car is nice!" Lily says, admiring the car. "Yes, I want to try it. Can I use it for the next race?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can use it. But be careful, it is very fast and sometimes it jumps off the track. You have to hold it well and steer it right." Tom says, handing her the car. + +"OK, Tom, I will be careful. Thank you for letting me use it." Lily says, taking the car. She puts it on the track and gets ready to race. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom says, and they both push their cars along the track. They zoom past the turns and hills, making vroom-vroom noises. Lily's car is faster than Tom's, and she takes the lead. + +"Wow, Lily, you are good at this!" Tom says, trying to catch up. "But watch out, there is a loop ahead. It is very hard to go through it. You have to be very brave and fast." + +Lily sees the loop ahead. It is a big circle that goes upside down. She has never seen it before. It looks scary and fun. She wants to try it, but she is also a little afraid. She does not know what will happen if she goes through it. + +"Tom, I see the loop. It is unknown to me. I have never done it before. What should I do?" Lily asks, slowing down a little. + +Tom sees that Lily is unsure. He wants to help her. He has done the loop many times, and he knows how to do it. He has an idea. + +"Lily, I suggest you follow me. I will show you how to do the loop. It is not so scary, it is fun. You just have to go fast and hold your car well. Trust me, you can do it." Tom says, speeding up his car. + +"OK, Tom, I will follow you. You are my friend, and I trust you. Let's do the loop together." Lily says, speeding up her car too. + +They reach the loop at the same time. They hold their cars well and go fast. They go upside down and around the loop. They feel a thrill and a rush. They make it through the loop without falling off. They cheer and laugh. + +"Yay, we did it, Lily! We did the loop! That was awesome!" Tom says, smiling. + +"Yay, we did it, Tom! We did the loop! That was amazing!" Lily says, smiling too. + +They finish the race and hug each other. They are happy and proud. They have done something new and exciting. They have done the loop. +Tim and Lily were playing near the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They saw a bridge that crossed the river. It was enormous and made of metal. + +"Let's go to the bridge!" Tim said. "Maybe we can see cars and trucks and buses." + +"OK!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said the bridge is not for kids." + +They ran to the bridge and climbed on the rail. They looked down and saw the river flowing fast. They saw some cars and trucks and buses on the road. They waved at them and shouted. + +"Hello! Hello! We are on the bridge!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a train. It was coming on the bridge. It was very fast and very loud. + +"Look! A train!" Tim said. "It's so big and shiny!" + +"Tim, we have to get off the bridge!" Lily said. "The train will hit us!" + +But Tim did not listen. He wanted to see the train closer. He turned and leaned over the rail. He lost his balance and fell. He screamed. + +"Tim!" Lily cried. "Tim!" + +She tried to grab him, but it was too late. He was gone. The train passed by and made a louder noise. Lily was alone on the bridge. She was scared and sad. She wished she had listened to Mommy. She wished Tim had listened to her. She wished they had never gone to the bridge. +Lily liked to imagine that she was a princess. She had a crown, a dress and a staff. The staff was orange and had a star on top. She pretended that she could do magic with it. + +One day, she was playing in the garden with her staff. She saw a big butterfly. It was blue and yellow and had spots. Lily wanted to catch it. She waved her staff and said, "Butterfly, come to me!" + +But the butterfly did not come. It flew away. Lily ran after it. She did not see where she was going. She bumped into Ben. Ben was her brother. He was older and bigger. He was playing with his ball. + +"Hey, watch out!" Ben said. He was angry. He did not like Lily's staff. He thought it was silly. He grabbed it from her. "This is not a staff. This is a stick. You can't do magic with it." + +Lily was sad. She wanted her staff back. She tried to pull it from Ben. "No, it is my staff. It is magic. Give it back!" + +Ben and Lily started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not hear their mom calling them. + +Mom came to the garden. She saw Ben and Lily fighting. She was not happy. She took the staff from them. "Stop it, both of you. This is not how you play. You have to share and be nice." + +She gave the staff to Lily. She told Ben to say sorry. She told Lily to let Ben play with it too. She said they could take turns. She said they could imagine together. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said sorry to each other. They decided to play together. They imagined that they were a king and a queen. They had a crown, a dress and a staff. The staff was orange and had a star on top. They pretended that they could do magic with it. They had fun. They saw the butterfly again. They waved their staff and said, "Butterfly, come to us!" The butterfly came. It landed on the staff. Ben and Lily smiled. They thought it was magic. +Tom is a pig. He likes to eat a lot. He eats apples, carrots, corn and grass. He does not eat candy, cake or chips. He is a healthy pig. + +One day, Tom sees a big truck. The truck has many pigs inside. The pigs are sad and scared. They do not know where they are going. Tom is curious. He wants to see the truck. + +Tom runs after the truck. He is fast and strong. He catches up with the truck. He jumps on the back of the truck. He sees the other pigs. They are not healthy. They are skinny and dirty. They only eat bad food. They are not happy. + +Tom feels sorry for the other pigs. He wants to help them. He sees a hole in the truck. He pushes the hole with his nose. He makes the hole bigger. He tells the other pigs to follow him. He jumps out of the truck. He runs to the farm. He shows the other pigs the apples, carrots, corn and grass. He tells them to eat and be healthy. He tells them to be happy. + +The other pigs are grateful to Tom. They eat and they grow. They become healthy and happy. They thank Tom for saving them. They become his friends. Tom is a hero. He is a good pig. He likes to eat a lot. +Tom liked to zip his coat when he went outside. He liked the sound and the feeling of the zipper. One day, he saw a parrot in a cage at the pet shop. The parrot was very colorful and noisy. It said hello and bye-bye and other words. Tom wanted to talk to the parrot, so he went closer to the cage. + +But the parrot did not like Tom. It was troubled by the noise and the people. It wanted to fly away and be free. It did not want to say hello or bye-bye. It wanted to say go away and leave me alone. When Tom reached his hand to the cage, the parrot bit him hard. Tom cried out and ran away. His hand was red and sore. + +Tom's mom saw what happened and hugged him. She took him to the nurse, who put a band-aid on his hand. She told him that the parrot was not nice and that he should not touch it. She said that some animals are not happy in cages and that they need space and friends. She said that Tom was brave and kind, but that he should be careful with animals he did not know. She gave him a kiss and a cookie. + +Tom felt better, but he was still sad. He liked the parrot, even if it was troubled and mean. He wished he could help it and make it happy. He wondered if the parrot had a name and a family. He wondered if it ever saw the sky and the trees. He wondered if it ever zipped its coat. He hoped that one day, the parrot would find a good home and a friend. He hoped that one day, the parrot would say hello and bye-bye and mean it. +Ben and Tom were brothers who liked to play with their bikes. They pretended to be delivery men who brought packages to different houses. One day, they saw a big box outside their neighbor's door. It had a red sticker that said "Do not open". + +"Let's deliver this box to someone else," Ben said. "It will be fun." + +Tom was not sure. He thought the box looked heavy and strange. But he followed Ben, who lifted the box and put it on his bike. They rode away, looking for a new place to leave the box. + +They saw a park with many people and animals. Ben thought it was a good spot. He stopped his bike and pushed the box off. It landed on the grass with a loud thud. Some people and dogs came to see what it was. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" a man asked. He wore a blue shirt and a hat with a star. He was a police. + +"We are delivery men," Ben said. "We brought this box for someone here." + +The police looked at the box and saw the red sticker. He frowned and said, "This is not a package. This is a bomb. Someone left it at your neighbor's door to hurt them. You should not touch it. It could explode any minute." + +Ben and Tom felt scared. They did not know what a bomb was, but it sounded bad. They wanted to run away, but the police grabbed them by their arms. He called for help on his radio. + +"You are in big trouble, boys," he said. "You could have killed someone with this bomb. You are coming with me to the station. Your parents will be very angry." + +Ben and Tom started to cry. They wished they had not touched the box. They wished they had listened to Tom. They smelled something bad. It was the bomb. It started to beep and smoke. The police tried to throw it away, but it was too late. The bomb exploded with a loud boom. It made a big fire and a big hole. It hurt many people and animals. It hurt Ben and Tom and the police. They did not play with their bikes anymore. They did not play anything anymore. The end. +Lily was excited. Today was her birthday. She had a party with her friends. They played games, ate cake, and opened presents. Lily liked her presents. She got a doll, a book, and a hat. + +"Thank you for coming to my party," Lily said to her friends. "I had a lot of fun." + +"Happy birthday, Lily," her friends said. "We had fun too." + +Lily's mom came to the room. She had a big smile. She had a surprise for Lily. + +"Lily, there is one more present for you," she said. "Come with me." + +Lily followed her mom to the backyard. She saw a big box with a bow. She wondered what was inside. + +"Go ahead, Lily. Open it," her mom said. + +Lily opened the box. She gasped. She realized what was inside. It was a puppy. A cute, fluffy, brown puppy. It wagged its tail and licked Lily's face. + +"A puppy! A puppy for me?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, Lily. A puppy for you. Happy birthday, sweetheart," her mom said. + +Lily hugged her mom and the puppy. She was so happy. She had the best birthday ever. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, I made a country!" Tom said, showing Lily his blocks. He had put some blue blocks for the sea, some green blocks for the land, and some yellow blocks for the sun. + +"That's nice, Tom. Can I add some blocks to your country?" Lily asked, holding some red blocks. + +"Sure, Lily. What are you going to add?" Tom said, moving his blocks a little to make room for Lily. + +"I'm going to add some flowers and some animals. And some people too!" Lily said, putting her blocks on Tom's blocks. She made some red flowers, some brown animals, and some pink people. + +"Wow, Lily, your blocks are very pretty. I like your flowers and your animals and your people. They make the country more fun!" Tom said, smiling at Lily. + +"Thank you, Tom. I like your sea and your land and your sun. They make the country more bright!" Lily said, smiling back at Tom. + +They played with their blocks for a long time, making stories and sounds for their country. They were very happy. + +But then, their mom came and said it was time to clean up. She told them to put their blocks back in the box. + +"Mom, can we keep our country?" Tom asked, looking at his mom with big eyes. + +"Sorry, Tom, but you can't keep your country. You have to share your blocks with other kids. Maybe you can make another country tomorrow." Mom said, gently. + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They liked their country very much. They didn't want to say goodbye to their blocks. + +"Can we take a picture of our country?" Lily asked, holding her mom's phone. + +"Okay, Lily, that's a good idea. You can take a picture of your country and keep it in your phone. Then you can look at it whenever you want." Mom said, handing Lily her phone. + +Lily took a picture of their country. She showed it to Tom. They smiled. + +"Bye, country. We love you." Tom said, waving at their blocks. + +"Bye, country. We'll miss you." Lily said, blowing a kiss at their blocks. + +They put their blocks back in the box. They hugged each other. They were still sad, but they were also proud of their country. They knew they had made something beautiful. And they knew they could make something new tomorrow. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "You are our friend!" + +"Yes, you are!" Max said. "But you look cold. Do you want a hug?" + +They hugged the snowman and laughed. But then they heard a voice behind them. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing?" It was Ben, their older brother. He had a snowball in his hand. "You are silly. Snowmen are not real. They are just icy balls of snow. Watch this!" + +He threw the snowball at the snowman's head. It hit the hat and knocked it off. The snowman's nose fell to the ground. + +"Ben, stop it!" Lily cried. "You are mean! You broke our snowman!" + +"Ha ha ha!" Ben said. "That was fun! You are babies. You need a nap. Go inside and leave me alone." + +He made another snowball and threw it at Max. It hit his chest and made him wet. + +"Ow!" Max said. "That hurt! You are a bully! We don't like you!" + +He picked up a snowball and threw it back at Ben. It missed him and hit a tree. + +"Nice try, loser!" Ben said. He teased them some more and threw more snowballs at them. + +Lily and Max ran away from him. They were sad and angry. They wanted to play with their snowman, not with Ben. They went inside the house and told their mom what happened. + +"Ben is bad!" Lily said. "He broke our snowman and threw snowballs at us!" + +"He is not nice!" Max said. "He called us silly and babies and losers!" + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. Ben was wrong to do that. He should not tease you or hurt you. He should be kind and gentle. Maybe he is bored or jealous. Maybe he needs a nap too." + +She gave them some hot chocolate and cookies. She said, "Why don't you rest for a while and warm up? Then you can go back outside and make a new snowman. Or you can do something else. You can draw or read or play with your toys. You are smart and creative and brave. You can have fun without Ben." + +Lily and Max smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best!" + +They drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookies. They felt better and happier. They decided to take a nap on the couch. They cuddled with each other and their mom. They dreamed of snowmen and snowflakes and snow angels. They did not think of Ben anymore. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Tom has a new toy. It is a printer. He can print pictures from his computer. + +"Look, Mia, I can print a picture of a dog!" Tom says. He shows Mia the printer and the paper. Mia likes dogs. She wants to print a picture too. + +"Can I print a picture of a cat?" Mia asks. She likes cats. She has a cat at home. + +"Sure, Mia, you can print a picture of a cat," Tom says. He helps Mia find a picture of a cat on his computer. He presses a button. The printer makes a noise. + +But nothing comes out. The printer has no more paper. + +"Oh no, Tom, the printer has no more paper!" Mia says. She is sad. She wants to print a picture of a cat. + +"Don't be sad, Mia, we can find more paper," Tom says. He is sad too. He likes to print pictures. + +They look around the room. They see a window. The window has curtains. The curtains have paper on them. The paper has drawings on them. + +"Look, Tom, there is paper on the window!" Mia says. She is happy. She thinks they can use the paper on the window. + +"No, Mia, we can't use that paper," Tom says. He is not happy. He knows the paper on the window is not for printing. It is for decorating. + +"That paper is for the window, Mia. It is not for the printer. It has drawings on it. We made the drawings with Mom. Mom will be mad if we take the paper," Tom says. + +"Oh, Tom, you are right. That paper is for the window. It is not for the printer. It has drawings on it. We made the drawings with Mom. Mom will be mad if we take the paper," Mia says. She is sad again. She wants to print a picture of a cat. + +They sit on the floor. They are sad. They have no more paper for the printer. They look at the window. They see the paper with the drawings. They see the sun and the sky. They see a bird and a tree. + +"Look, Mia, there is a bird on the tree!" Tom says. He is not sad anymore. He likes birds. He points at the window. + +"Look, Tom, there is a cat on the roof!" Mia says. She is not sad anymore. She likes cats. She points at the window. + +They smile. They forget about the printer. They watch the bird and the cat. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat something good. They saw a big radish in the garden. It was red and round and shiny. + +"Let's get the radish!" Tom said. "It looks yummy!" + +They ran to the garden and tried to pull the radish out of the ground. But the radish was very strong. It did not want to come out. Tom and Lily pulled and pulled, but the radish did not move. + +"Help us, Mom!" they shouted. "We want the radish!" + +Mom came to the garden and saw Tom and Lily. They were red and sweaty and tired. They looked weak. + +"What are you doing, my loves?" Mom asked. "Why are you pulling the radish?" + +"We are hungry, Mom," Tom said. "We want to eat the radish. But it is too strong. We cannot get it out." + +Mom smiled and hugged Tom and Lily. "You are very brave, my loves," she said. "But you do not need to pull the radish. I have something better for you. Come with me." + +Mom took Tom and Lily to the kitchen. She gave them some bread and cheese and milk. They ate and drank and felt happy. + +"Thank you, Mom," they said. "This is very good." + +"You are welcome, my loves," Mom said. "Now you can rest. You have worked hard. Maybe tomorrow we can try to get the radish together. But for now, let's rest." +Ben and Lily like to play in the park. They see a big rock near the slide. Ben wants to climb on the rock. Lily wants to rock on the swing. + +"Let me climb on the rock!" Ben says. "It is fun and easy!" + +"No, let me rock on the swing!" Lily says. "It is fun and easy too!" + +They both run to the rock. They push and pull each other. They are not happy. + +A man sees them. He is the park keeper. He has a whistle and a hat. He blows the whistle. + +"Stop, stop!" he says. "You are not nice to each other. You can both play with the rock and the swing. But you have to take turns and share. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They are sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug. + +"OK, you can go first on the rock," Ben says to Lily. "I will wait for the swing." + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily says. "You are a good friend." + +They smile. They play with the rock and the swing. They have fun. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower. Ben put one block on top of another. Lily put one more block on top. The tower was very tall. + +"Look, we have a lot of power!" Ben said. "We can make anything we want!" + +But then, a big boy came. He had an ugly face and mean eyes. He pushed the tower and made it fall. The blocks crashed on the floor. Ben and Lily were sad and angry. + +"Hey, why did you do that?" Lily asked. "That was not nice!" + +The big boy laughed. "I don't care. Your tower was ugly and weak. I have more power than you. I can break anything I want!" + +Ben and Lily felt scared. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other. They had an idea. They held hands and stood up. + +"No, you don't have more power than us!" Ben said. "We have more power than you. We have each other. We can support each other. We can make anything we want again. And you can't stop us!" + +The big boy was surprised. He did not expect that. He did not have anyone to support him. He felt alone and small. He ran away. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They hugged each other. They picked up the blocks and started to make a new tower. They made it bigger and stronger than before. They were happy and proud. They had a lot of power. +Lily was a smart girl who liked to write in her journal. She wrote about her day, her friends, her toys and her dreams. She had a pink journal with a lock and a key. She kept it in her drawer under her bed. + +One day, her little brother Tom found her key and opened her journal. He wanted to see what she wrote. He did not mind that it was not his. He started to read and scribble on her pages. + +Lily came back from the park and saw Tom with her journal. She was very angry and sad. She shouted at him. + +"Tom, what are you doing? That is my journal! You are not allowed to touch it! Give it back to me now!" + +Tom looked at her and said, "But I want to read it. It is fun. You write funny things. And I draw pretty pictures." + +Lily snatched her journal from him and ran to her room. She locked the door and cried. She looked at her journal and saw that Tom had ruined it. He had torn some pages, scribbled on others and drawn silly faces. She felt like her journal was not hers anymore. + +She wished Tom would mind his own things and leave her alone. She wished he would understand that her journal was special to her. She wished he would say sorry and be nice to her. She wondered if he ever would. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, Tom has a new car. It is red and shiny. Sam likes the new car. He asks Tom, "Can you lend me your car? I want to play with it." + +Tom says, "OK, you can play with my car. But you have to give it back soon. It is my favorite car." Sam says, "Thank you, Tom. I will be careful with your car. I will give it back soon." + +Sam plays with the car. He makes it go fast and slow. He makes it turn and stop. He has fun with the car. But he forgets to give it back to Tom. He puts it in his pocket and goes home. + +Tom looks for his car. He cannot find it. He is sad. He thinks Sam took his car. He is angry. He goes to Sam's house. He knocks on the door. He says, "Sam, where is my car? You have to give it back. It is my car." + +Sam opens the door. He sees Tom. He remembers the car. He feels sorry. He says, "Tom, I am sorry. I forgot to give you back your car. I have it in my pocket. Here it is. It is a nice car. Thank you for lending it to me." + +Tom takes his car. He is happy. He says, "Thank you, Sam. I am glad you like my car. But you have to remember to give it back. It is not nice to keep things that are not yours. Next time, I will lend you something else. Maybe a ball or a book." + +Sam says, "OK, Tom. I will remember. I am sorry. You are a good friend. Do you want to come in and have some meat? My mom made some meat for lunch. It is interesting. It is spicy and sweet." + +Tom says, "Sure, Sam. I like meat. I like interesting meat. Let's go in and have some meat. Maybe we can play with your cars and balls later. We can share them and have fun." + +Tom and Sam go in and have some meat. They are friends again. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toy animals. They have a big scale and some stickers. They want to weigh their animals and put labels on them. + +Anna puts her giraffe on the scale. The scale says 15. "Wow, your giraffe is very heavy!" Ben says. He puts a sticker on the giraffe that says 15. + +Ben puts his mouse on the scale. The scale says 1. "Oh, your mouse is very little!" Anna says. She puts a sticker on the mouse that says 1. + +They take turns weighing their other animals and labeling them. They have a lion, a zebra, a monkey, a rabbit, and a turtle. + +They are having fun until they run out of stickers. "We need more labels!" Anna says. "Where can we get them?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He sees a roll of tape on the table. He has an idea. "We can make our own labels!" he says. He takes the tape and a marker. He cuts a piece of tape and writes a number on it. He sticks it on his turtle. "Look, my turtle is 5!" he says. + +Anna likes his idea. She takes the tape and the marker. She cuts a piece of tape and writes a number on it. She sticks it on her rabbit. "Look, my rabbit is 3!" she says. + +They keep making their own labels and weighing their animals.

They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. Spot is a fat dog. He likes to eat and sleep a lot. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a big box in the living room. It has a bow on it. They wonder what is inside. They ask their mom, but she says it is a surprise. She tells them not to open it until tomorrow. + +Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see the surprise. They wait until their mom goes to the kitchen. Then they sneak to the box and lift the lid. Inside, they see a lot of oats. Oats are what Spot eats for breakfast. Sara and Ben are confused. Why would mom give them oats as a surprise? + +They hear their mom coming back. They quickly close the lid and run to their room. They do not want to get in trouble. They think mom is playing a trick on them. + +The next day, Sara and Ben wake up early. They run to the living room. They see the box again. They hope there is something else inside. They open the lid and gasp. There is no oat in the box. Instead, there is a fluffy, white kitten. It has a red collar and a tag that says "Snowy". It meows and purrs. Sara and Ben are happy. They hug the kitten and thank their mom. Mom smiles and says she put the oats in the box to keep Spot away. She says she wanted to wrap the kitten as a surprise for them. Sara and Ben love their new pet. They play with Snowy and Spot all day. They think mom is the best. +Anna liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make her pictures. She wanted to draw a pretty house with a square door and a square window. She looked for her blue crayon to make the sky, but she could not find it. + +"Mommy, where is my blue crayon?" she asked. + +"Maybe it is under the sofa, honey. Why don't you look there?" Mommy said. + +Anna crawled under the sofa and saw something shiny. It was not her blue crayon, but a silver necklace. It had a heart pendant and a small stone that sparkled. Anna thought it was very pretty. She wondered who it belonged to. + +She took the necklace and ran to Mommy. "Look, Mommy, what I found!" she said, holding the necklace. + +Mommy gasped and smiled. "Oh, Anna, you found my necklace! I lost it a long time ago and I was very sad. Thank you for helping me find it. You are such a good girl!" she said, hugging Anna. + +Anna felt happy and proud. She gave Mommy the necklace and said, "You're welcome, Mommy. I love you." + +Mommy put the necklace around her neck and said, "I love you too, Anna. And I have a surprise for you. Look, here is your blue crayon. It was in my pocket all along. Now you can draw your pretty house with a square door and a square window." + +Anna clapped and took the blue crayon. She ran to her paper and started to draw. She made a big blue sky and a pretty house with a square door and a square window. She also drew Mommy and herself, smiling and holding hands. She wrote "I love Mommy" with her crayons. She showed Mommy her picture and said, "This is for you, Mommy. Because you are the best Mommy in the world." + +Mommy looked at the picture and felt very happy. She kissed Anna and said, "This is the best picture in the world, Anna. Because you are the best daughter in the world." +Lila liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was purple. She drew purple flowers, purple stars, purple cats and purple insects. She showed her drawings to her mom and dad, and they smiled and said they were very pretty. + +One day, Lila wanted to draw a real insect. She went outside and looked for one. She saw a ladybug, a butterfly, a bee and a grasshopper. But none of them were purple. She felt sad. She wanted to draw a purple insect. + +She saw a boy playing with a toy car. His name was Max. She asked him, "Do you know where I can find a purple insect?" + +Max looked at her and said, "No, I don't. Why do you want a purple insect?" + +"Because I like to draw them. But I can't find any. All the insects are red, or yellow, or green, or black. But not purple." + +Max thought for a moment. Then he said, "Maybe you can make one. You can use your crayons and some paper. You can cut out the shape of an insect and color it purple. Then you can stick it on a stick and make it move. That would be a purple insect." + +Lila liked Max's idea. She said, "Thank you, Max. That is a good idea. Do you want to help me?" + +Max nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. I like to make things. Maybe we can make other colors of insects too. That would be fun." + +Lila and Max went to Lila's house and got her crayons and some paper. They cut out different shapes of insects and colored them with different colors. They stuck them on sticks and made them move. They had a lot of fun. They made a purple insect, a blue insect, a pink insect, a orange insect and a rainbow insect. They showed them to Lila's mom and dad, and they smiled and said they were very creative. + +Lila was happy. She said, "Look, mom and dad. I made a purple insect. And Max helped me. He is my friend. We improved our drawings with our crayons and paper. Do you like them?" + +Mom and dad said, "We love them, Lila. You and Max are very clever. You improved your drawings and made new friends. That is wonderful." +Sam and Mia were playing in the bathroom. They liked to pretend they were grown-ups and use the things they found there. Sam saw a shiny thing on the shelf. He was curious. He reached for it. + +"Sam, what is that?" Mia asked. + +"It's a razor. Daddy uses it to make his face smooth," Sam said. He wanted to try it. + +"No, Sam, don't touch it! It's sharp and it can hurt you!" Mia said. She was scared. + +But Sam did not listen. He took the razor and pulled off the cover. He revealed the blade. He touched it with his finger. He felt a sting. He saw blood. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Sam cried. He dropped the razor. He ran to Mia. He showed her his finger. + +"Mia, help me! It hurts!" Sam said. + +Mia hugged him. She was sorry. She took a towel and wrapped it around his finger. She took him to Mommy. + +"Mommy, Sam cut himself with the razor! He was curious and he revealed the blade!" Mia said. + +Mommy was shocked. She took Sam and Mia to the sink. She washed Sam's finger and put a band-aid on it. She threw away the razor. She hugged them both. + +"Sam, Mia, you should never play with razors. They are not toys. They are dangerous. You could have hurt yourself badly. Do you understand?" Mommy said. + +Sam and Mia nodded. They were sorry. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to Mommy. They said sorry to each other. They hugged Mommy. They hugged each other. They went to play with their safe toys. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toy trucks in the backyard. They like to load the trucks with sand, rocks and sticks. They pretend they are builders and drivers. + +"Look, Mia, I have a big load of sand in my truck. I can take it to the building site," Tom says. + +"Wow, Tom, your truck is very strong. Can I help you?" Mia asks. + +"Yes, you can. You can use this screw to fix the wheels. They are loose," Tom says. He gives Mia a plastic screw and a screwdriver. + +Mia takes the screw and the screwdriver. She tries to turn the screw into the wheel. It is hard, but she does not give up. + +"I did it, Tom! I fixed the wheel. Now your truck is stronger," Mia says. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are a good helper. Now let's go to the building site and unload the sand. We can make a castle," Tom says. + +They drive their trucks to the building site. They unload the sand and start to make a castle. They have fun playing with their toy trucks. They are happy. +Timmy had a penny that he loved very much. He found it on the street one day and he thought it was shiny and pretty. He kept it in his pocket and showed it to his friends at school. He was very proud of his penny. + +One day, he saw a big red ball in the toy store. He wanted the ball so much that he forgot about his penny. He asked his mom if he could buy the ball, but she said no. She said they had to save money for food and clothes. Timmy was sad and angry. + +He thought of a plan. He decided to use his penny to buy the ball. He thought no one would notice. He sneaked out of his house and ran to the toy store. He gave his penny to the man at the counter and grabbed the ball. He ran away as fast as he could. + +But the man saw him and shouted. He called the police and told them what Timmy did. The police came and caught Timmy. They took him to the station and called his mom. She was very worried and angry. She came and scolded Timmy for stealing and lying. She said he had to give back the ball and the penny. She said he had to say sorry to the man and the police. She said he had to do chores at home to pay for his mistake. + +Timmy was very ashamed and sorry. He wished he had never used his penny to buy the ball. He wished he had listened to his mom and been happy with what he had. He learned that stealing and lying are bad and that being proud of something is not the same as being greedy. He hoped he could find his penny again and keep it as a reminder. +Sam and Mia were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and the furniture was their ship. They had a big couch, a small table, and a lamp. + +"Look, Mia, I found a treasure map!" Sam said, holding a piece of paper. "It says we have to go to the island of the lamp and dig under the shade." + +"Wow, let's go!" Mia said, excited. They climbed on the couch and jumped to the lamp. They lifted the shade and saw a shiny coin. + +"Yay, we found the treasure!" Sam said, grabbing the coin. "It's mine, I saw it first!" + +"No, it's mine, I helped you!" Mia said, pulling the coin. "Share with me!" + +They started to fight over the coin. They did not see their mom coming into the room. + +"Hey, what are you two doing?" Mom asked, surprised. "Why are you making such a mess?" + +"Mom, Sam won't share the treasure with me!" Mia said, pointing at Sam. + +"Mom, Mia is trying to take my treasure!" Sam said, holding the coin. + +Mom looked at the coin and smiled. She knew it was a fake coin that she had put under the lamp as a joke. + +"Kids, that's not a real treasure, that's a joke coin!" Mom said, showing them the coin. "See, it says 'joke' on the back. I put it there to make you laugh." + +Sam and Mia looked at the coin and felt silly. They had been fighting over nothing. They realized they had been ignorant. + +"Sorry, Mom, we didn't know," Sam said, giving the coin to Mom. + +"Sorry, Sam, I should have shared with you," Mia said, hugging Sam. + +"It's okay, kids, I'm glad you had fun playing pirates," Mom said, hugging them both. "But next time, be careful with the furniture, okay?" + +"Okay, Mom," Sam and Mia said, nodding. They decided to play something else and be nice to each other. They learned their lesson. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park on Wednesday. Wednesday is their day off from school. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. + +One Wednesday, they find a shiny red ball in the grass. They do not know who it belongs to. They decide to play with it. They throw it, catch it and kick it. They laugh and giggle. + +But then, a big boy comes to them. He looks angry. He says, "That is my ball! You took it from me! Give it back!" + +Ben and Lily are scared. They do not want to make the big boy mad. They say, "We are sorry. We did not know it was your ball. We just found it. Here, you can have it." + +The big boy snatches the ball from them. He says, "You are bad kids. You are thieves. You should feel guilty." + +Ben and Lily feel sad. They feel guilty. They did not mean to do anything wrong. They just wanted to play. They walk away from the park. They do not have fun anymore. They wish they never found the ball. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a princess doll. The princess doll had a long pink dress, a shiny crown, and long yellow hair. Lily loved to brush her hair and make her dance. + +One day, Lily was playing with her princess doll when she heard a loud rip. She looked and saw that the princess doll's dress was torn. Lily felt sad. She did not want her princess doll to have a broken dress. She wanted her to look pretty and happy. + +Lily thought hard. She was a creative girl. She had an idea. She ran to her room and found some things. She found some scissors, some glue, some paper, and some stickers. She cut the paper into a new dress for her princess doll. She glued it on top of the torn dress. She decorated it with stickers. She made a new dress that was colorful and sparkly. + +Lily was proud of her work. She fixed her princess doll's dress. She showed it to her mom and dad. They smiled and hugged her. They said she was a very creative and clever girl. They said her princess doll looked beautiful and happy. + +Lily smiled too.

The princess doll smiled back. She said she loved Lily too. She said she was her best friend. They were both happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there were many old things. Lily saw a shiny hat with stars on it. Ben saw a long stick with a ball on the end. They wanted to try them on. + +Lily put the hat on her head and said, "I am a magic girl!" Ben grabbed the stick and said, "I am a magic boy!" They pretended to do magic with their new things. They made funny noises and waved their stick and hat. They had fun. + +But then, they smelled something smelly. It was coming from the box. They looked inside and saw a big, hairy, angry rat. The rat had been sleeping in the box and did not like the noise. It jumped out of the box and ran towards them. It wanted to bite them. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They screamed and ran away. They dropped their hat and stick. The rat chased them. It was fast and mean. They did not know what to do. + +Then, they saw their mom. She heard their screams and came to see what was wrong. She saw the rat and grabbed a broom. She swung the broom at the rat and made it go away. She saved Lily and Ben. + +Lily and Ben hugged their mom and thanked her. They told her about the hat and the stick and the magic. Mom smiled and said, "Those are not magic. They are just old things. But you are my magic kids. I love you." She took them downstairs and gave them cookies. They were happy. They did not want to play with the hat and the stick anymore. They wanted to play with their mom. +Lily and Tom were going to visit their grandma and grandpa. They packed their luggage with clothes, toys and books. They were very excited to see their grandparents and their big house. + +They took a long car ride with their mom and dad. They saw many things on the way: cows, trees, bridges and trucks. They sang songs and played games to pass the time. They asked their mom and dad many questions. + +"Are we there yet?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, sweetie, soon," mom said. + +"What will we do at grandma and grandpa's house?" Tom asked. + +"Whatever you like, honey, whatever you like," dad said. + +Finally, they arrived at their grandparents' house. It was a big, white house with a green lawn and a red door. Grandma and grandpa were waiting for them on the porch. They smiled and waved. + +"Welcome, welcome, my dear children!" grandma said. She hugged and kissed Lily and Tom. + +"Welcome, welcome, my little ones!" grandpa said. He lifted them up and spun them around. + +They took their luggage inside and showed them their room. It was a cozy room with two beds, a dresser and a window. On the dresser, there was a surprise: two teddy bears, one for Lily and one for Tom. + +"Wow, thank you, grandma and grandpa!" Lily and Tom said. They hugged their teddy bears. + +"You're very welcome, my darlings," grandma said. "We're so happy to have you here." + +They had a wonderful time at their grandparents' house. They played, read, baked, gardened and explored. They learned many new things and had many fun adventures. They felt loved and safe. + +It was an ordinary visit, but it was also a special visit. Lily and Tom loved their grandma and grandpa very much. And grandma and grandpa loved them back. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look at our snowman, he is so big and nice!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. But he will not stay like this for long. The sun will make him melt soon." Tom said. + +They felt sad. They wanted their snowman to be their friend for a long time. + +"Maybe we can take him inside our house. Then he will not melt." Lily said. + +Tom thought for a moment. He liked the idea. + +"OK, let's try. But we have to be careful. He is very heavy and soft. We have to hold him tight." Tom said. + +They tried to lift the snowman. It was hard. They pushed and pulled. They moved him slowly. They reached the door of their house. + +"Almost there!" Lily said. + +But then, something bad happened. The snowman slipped from their hands. He fell on the floor. He broke into many pieces. The hat and the scarf and the carrot nose and the rocks flew everywhere. The floor was wet and cold. + +"Oh no! Our snowman!" Lily and Tom cried. + +They felt very sorry. They had lost their snowman and made a big mess. + +Their mom came to see what was wrong. She saw the snow and the water and the children. + +"What happened here?" She asked. + +Lily and Tom told her what they had done. They said they were sorry. + +Their mom was not angry. She hugged them and said: + +"I know you loved your snowman. But he was not meant to be inside. He was meant to be outside, where he could freeze and be happy. Sometimes, we have to let go of the things we love, because they belong somewhere else. That is the way of life. But we can always remember them and make new friends." + +Lily and Tom understood. They felt better. They helped their mom clean the floor. They put the hat and the scarf and the carrot nose and the rocks in a box. They said goodbye to their snowman. + +They went outside again. They saw the snow sparkling in the sun. They decided to make a new snowman. They gave him a different hat and a different scarf. They gave him a smiley face. They were happy again. +Tom likes to question everything. He asks his mom and dad many things every day. He wants to know why the sky is blue, why the dog barks, why the car goes fast. Sometimes his mom and dad get tired of his questions, but they love him very much. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big slide and wants to try it. He climbs up the ladder and sits on the top. He looks down and feels scared. He questions his mom, "Is it safe? Will I fall? Will it hurt?" His mom smiles and says, "It is safe, you will not fall, it will not hurt. It will be fun. Just slide down and I will catch you." + +Tom trusts his mom, but he is still nervous. He closes his eyes and slides down. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He goes very fast and reaches the bottom. His mom catches him and hugs him. He feels happy and proud. He says, "That was fun! Can I do it again?" + +His mom laughs and says, "Yes, you can do it again. But first, let's sing a song. Do you know the song about the wheels on the bus?" Tom nods and says, "Yes, I know that song. It is my favorite song." He and his mom start to sing the song. They sing about the wheels, the doors, the horn, the driver, and the people. They have a lot of fun singing the song. + +Tom learns that sometimes it is good to question things, but sometimes it is also good to try new things and have fun. He also learns that he loves his mom and his mom loves him. He thinks that the park is a great place to go. He wants to go there again soon. +Tom liked to play with his dad's coins. He liked how they were shiny and round and made a nice sound when he dropped them. Sometimes, his dad would show him a trick with the coins. He would put one in his hand and close it, then say some funny words and open it again. The coin would be gone! Tom would clap and laugh and ask his dad to do it again. + +One day, Tom wanted to try the trick by himself. He took a coin from his dad's jar and put it in his hand. He closed his hand and said some words he heard his dad say. He opened his hand and looked. The coin was still there. He tried again and again, but the coin did not vanish. He felt sad and confused. +
