One day, she was feeling brave, so she decided to swing as high as she could.

Her mummy knew that it was time to take her to the doctor. + +At the doctor's office, the little girl was very nervous and afraid. The doctor smiled and said "Don't be scared, I'm here to help".

The doctor beamed and gave her the medicine that she needed. + +The little girl took the medicine, and before long, she was feeling better than ever. She thanked the doctor and gave her a hug.

They had a lot of fun playing in it. And from that day onwards, Bob remembered not to be selfish and to share things with his friends. +Once upon a time a tire was very important to Bob. It was just the right size for his car and he used it every day. One day Bob took the tire to the garage. Suddenly the tire started to shrink!

Lily thought it was juice. + +She poured some of the bottle into a bowl and took it outside. She put the bowl on the grass and called the birds. "Come, birds, come! I have juice for you!" she said. Some birds came and tried the juice. But they did not like it. It was bitter, not sweet. They made faces and flew away. + +Lily was sad. She did not understand why the birds did not like her juice. She tasted it herself. She made a face too. It was bitter, not sweet. It was not juice. It was vinegar. Lily spit it out and ran inside. She found her mom and told her what happened. + +Mom hugged Lily and explained that vinegar was not juice. It was for cooking and cleaning, not for drinking or feeding birds. She showed Lily where the real juice was. It was in a carton, not a bottle. It had a picture of an orange on it. Lily tasted it. It was sweet, not bitter. She liked it. + +Mom and Lily went outside again. They poured some of the juice into another bowl and took it to the garden. They put the bowl next to the vinegar bowl and called the birds. "Come, birds, come! We have juice for you!" they said. Some birds came and tried the juice. They liked it. It was sweet, not bitter. They sang and flew and ate seeds. Lily was happy. She watched the birds and smiled. +Ben is a little boy who likes to play with his cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also likes to invite his friends to play with him. + +One day, he invites his friend Lily to his house. Lily is a little girl who likes to play with dolls. She has many dolls of different names and dresses. She likes to make them talk and hug on the couch. She also likes to play with Ben. + +When Lily comes to Ben's house, they say hello and hug. Then they go to Ben's room to play. Ben shows Lily his cars and Lily shows Ben her dolls. They decide to play together. + +"Let's make a law," Ben says. "A law is a rule that everyone has to follow." + +"OK," Lily says. "What is the law?" + +"The law is that you can only play with cars or dolls, not both," Ben says. "If you play with both, you have to go to jail." + +"Jail?" Lily asks. "What is jail?" + +"Jail is a bad place where you have to stay and can't play," Ben says. "It is under the bed." + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes to play with cars and dolls. She does not want to go to jail. She does not like the law. + +"I don't like the law," she says. "I want to play with both. Can we change the law?" + +Ben shakes his head. He likes the law. He thinks it is fun. + +"No, we can't change the law," he says. "The law is the law. You have to follow it or go to jail." + +Lily feels sad and angry. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She picks up her dolls and says goodbye. + +"I don't want to play with you anymore," she says. "You are not a good friend. You are a mean law-maker." + +She leaves Ben's room and goes to the living room. She finds Ben's mom and tells her what happened. Ben's mom listens and hugs her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," she says. "Ben is still learning how to share and be nice. Sometimes he makes silly laws that are not fair. Maybe you can talk to him and help him understand." + +Lily nods. She still likes Ben, but she does not like his law. She hopes he will change his mind and play with her again. She thinks maybe they can make a new law that is better for both of them. A law that lets them play with cars and dolls and have fun. +Anna likes to play with her long hair. She likes to make it into different shapes and styles. She likes to pretend she is a princess or a fairy or a mermaid. Sometimes she uses her mom's shampoo to make her hair shiny and smooth. + +One day, Anna was playing with her hair in the bathroom. She saw a bottle of shampoo on the shelf. She wanted to try it. She opened the bottle and poured some shampoo on her hair. She rubbed it and made bubbles. She thought it smelled nice. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She came into the bathroom and saw Anna with shampoo all over her hair and face. She was not happy. + +"Mom, I am playing with the shampoo. It is fun. Look, I can make numbers with the bubbles. One, two, three, four, five," Anna said. She showed her mom the numbers she made with her fingers and the bubbles. + +"Anna, you can't play with the shampoo. It is not a toy. It is for washing your hair. You are wasting it and making a mess. And you can't put it in your eyes. It can hurt you. Come here, I will help you rinse it off," her mom said. She turned on the faucet and wet a towel. She gently wiped Anna's hair and face with the towel. She rinsed the shampoo out of Anna's hair. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to have fun. Can I still play with my hair?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, you can play with your hair, but not with the shampoo. You can use these clips and ribbons and bows. They are pretty and safe. And you can still make numbers with your fingers. How about we count them together?" her mom said. She smiled and hugged Anna. She gave her some clips and ribbons and bows. She helped her make different styles with her hair. + +"Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you. And I love my hair. One, two, three, four, five," Anna said. She counted the clips and ribbons and bows on her hair. She smiled and hugged her mom back. She was happy. +Sam liked to fly his kite on sunny days. He had a blue kite with a long tail and a happy face. He would run and run and let the wind lift his kite high in the sky. He felt happy when he saw his kite dance in the air. + +One day, he went to the park with his kite. He saw other kids playing with their kites, too. They had red kites, yellow kites, green kites, and all kinds of shapes and sizes. Sam wanted to play with them, but he was shy. He felt lonely. + +He found a spot away from the other kids and started to fly his kite. He ran and ran and let the wind lift his kite high in the sky. He tried to smile, but he still felt lonely. + +Then, he saw something shiny in the grass. He went to pick it up. It was a pair of scissors. He wondered who left them there. He thought maybe he could use them to make his kite look more fun. He had an idea. + +He cut his kite's tail into smaller pieces. He thought it would make his kite look like a star. He ran and ran and let the wind lift his kite high in the sky. He looked up and saw his kite sparkle in the sun. He felt proud. + +But then, something bad happened. The wind blew harder and harder. His kite started to shake and twist. The pieces of his kite's tail got tangled and caught. His kite could not fly well. It started to fall and fall. + +Sam tried to catch his kite, but it was too late. His kite landed on a tree. The tree had sharp branches. The branches tore his kite into pieces. His kite was gone. + +Sam felt sad. He wished he had not cut his kite's tail. He wished he had played with the other kids. He wished he had a friend. He felt lonely. +Lily and Ben like to play games. They have many games in their room. Sometimes they play with cards, sometimes they play with blocks, sometimes they play with dolls. They have fun, but they also make a big mess. + +One day, they decide to play a new game. They call it "believe and win". They take turns to say something they believe, and then they try to do it. For example, Lily says, "I believe I can jump over the bed", and then she jumps over the bed. Ben says, "I believe I can draw a star", and then he draws a star. + +They keep playing until they run out of ideas. Then they look around and see how messy their room is. They see cards on the floor, blocks on the table, dolls on the bed, and drawings on the wall. They feel bad, because they know their mom will be angry. + +They decide to play one more round of "believe and win". They say, "We believe we can clean our room". They work together to put everything back where it belongs. They throw away the trash, they fold the clothes, they wipe the wall. They finish just in time, before their mom comes in. + +Their mom is happy to see their room so neat. She says, "Wow, you did a great job! How did you do it?" Lily and Ben smile and say, "We played a game. It's called 'believe and win'." Their mom hugs them and says, "That sounds like a wonderful game. I'm proud of you. You are the winners!" +Tom is a little boy who likes to play cop. He has a hat, a badge and a toy gun. He wants to catch bad guys and help people. He is very eager to be a good cop. + +One day, he sees a big dog in the park. The dog is barking and running after a cat. Tom thinks the dog is a bad guy. He runs after the dog and says, "Stop, bad guy! You are under arrest!" He tries to catch the dog with his toy gun. + +But the dog is faster and stronger than Tom. The dog does not stop. The dog does not listen. The dog jumps on Tom and knocks him down. Tom falls and hurts his knee. He cries and drops his toy gun. + +A real cop sees what happens. He comes to help Tom. He picks up Tom and his toy gun. He says, "Are you OK, little cop? That was a brave thing to do, but you have to be careful. That dog is not a bad guy. He is just playing. He does not know you are a cop." + +Tom feels better. He says, "Thank you, big cop. I want to be like you when I grow up. Can I try your hat?" The cop smiles and lets Tom try his hat. Tom feels happy. He says, "I like your hat. It is very big and shiny. Can I keep it?" The cop laughs and says, "No, you can't keep it. But you can borrow it for a while. And maybe one day, you can have your own hat, when you are a real cop." Tom nods and says, "OK. I will keep trying." +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign in the park. The sign says: "Do not step on the grass. It is the law." + +"What is the law?" Tom asks Sue. + +"The law is a rule that people must follow. If they do not follow the law, they can get in trouble," Sue says. + +"Why can we not step on the grass?" Tom asks. + +"Because the grass is alive. It needs water and sun to grow. If we step on it, we can hurt it," Sue says. + +Tom and Sue look at the grass. It is green and soft. They want to touch it and feel it. + +"Maybe we can step on it just a little bit. No one will see us," Tom says. + +"No, Tom. We must follow the law. It is not nice to hurt the grass. We can play on the path or on the swings," Sue says. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He knows Sue is right. He does not want to hurt the grass. He wants to be nice and follow the law. + +"Okay, Sue. You are right. Let us play on the path. Maybe we can find some flowers or bugs," Tom says. + +Sue smiles. She is happy that Tom is a good friend. She is also happy that the park is generous. It gives them a lot of things to play with and enjoy. She and Tom hold hands and walk on the path. They have fun in the park. They follow the law. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big fence. The fence is brown and has holes. They want to see what is behind the fence. + +They run to the fence and look through the holes. They see a lot of animals. They see cows, sheep, pigs and chickens. They hear the animals make noises. They smell the animals too. They think the animals are funny and cute. + +They see a man with a bucket. The man is the farmer. He gives food to the animals. The food looks yummy. Tom and Lily are hungry. They want some food too. + +They call the farmer and ask him for some food. The farmer is nice. He smiles and says yes. He gives them some bread, cheese and apples. He tells them the food is from the animals. The bread is from the wheat, the cheese is from the milk and the apples are from the tree. + +Tom and Lily say thank you and eat the food. The food is yummy. They are happy. They become friends with the farmer and the animals. They like the fence. The fence is not just a fence. The fence is a door to a new world. +Tom was a little boy who liked to dream. He dreamed of being a sailor and sailing on a big boat. He had a toy boat that he played with in the bath. He pretended he was the captain and he had many adventures. + +One day, his mom said they were going to visit his grandpa, who lived by the sea. Tom was very happy. He hoped he would see some real boats and maybe even some sailors. He packed his toy boat in his backpack and got ready to go. + +When they arrived at grandpa's house, Tom ran to the window and looked out. He saw the blue sea and the white waves. He also saw a big dock with many boats of different sizes and colors. He saw some people wearing hats and jackets with stripes. They were sailors! + +"Can we go to the dock, mom?" Tom asked. "Can I see the boats and the sailors?" + +"Sure, honey," his mom said. "But first, let's say hello to grandpa. He has a surprise for you." + +Tom hugged his grandpa and followed him to his room. There, on the bed, was a big box wrapped in paper. Tom opened it and gasped. Inside was a sailor suit, just like the ones he saw on the dock. It had a hat, a jacket, a shirt, and pants. It was the perfect size for him. + +"Wow, thank you, grandpa!" Tom said. "This is the best surprise ever!" + +"I'm glad you like it, Tom," his grandpa said. "You know, I used to be a sailor when I was young. I sailed on many boats and had many adventures. I want you to have this suit, so you can dream of being a sailor too." + +Tom put on the sailor suit and looked at himself in the mirror. He felt like a real sailor. He hugged his grandpa again and thanked him. + +"Can we go to the dock now, grandpa?" Tom asked. "Can I show the sailors my suit?" + +"Of course, Tom," his grandpa said. "Let's go. And don't forget your toy boat. Maybe you can find a place to sail it." + +Tom grabbed his backpack and his toy boat and followed his grandpa and his mom to the dock. He was so excited. He felt like his dream was coming true. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bell in the park.

Sara and Tom laugh and dance. They have fun. + +But then, a man comes to the park. He is angry. He says the bell is his. He says he needs the bell for his work. He says the bell is hot and can burn Sara and Tom. He says Sara and Tom are bad for hitting his bell. + +Sara and Tom are scared. They say they are sorry. They did not know the bell was his. They did not know the bell was hot. They just wanted to have fun. + +The man is still angry. He takes the bell and goes away. He says Sara and Tom should not touch things that are not theirs. He says they should be careful and respectful. + +Sara and Tom are sad. They feel bad for hitting the bell. They learn a lesson. They decide to play with other things in the park. They decide to be careful and respectful. + +The moral of the story is: Do not touch things that are not yours. Be careful and respectful. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were animals and make noises. Tom was a lion and Lily was a bird. Tom wanted to scare Lily, so he hid behind the big chair and waited for her to fly by. + +Lily was happy and flew around the room, singing and flapping her wings. She did not see Tom behind the chair. When she came near, Tom jumped out and roared very loud. "Rrrraaaawwwr!" + +Lily was so scared that she screamed and fell to the floor. She started to cry and ran to her mom. "Mommy, mommy, Tom scared me! He was a mean lion!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Tom behind the chair and Lily in her arms. She was not happy. She said to Tom, "Tom, why did you scare Lily? That was not nice. You made her sad and hurt her feelings. How would you like it if someone scared you?" + +Tom felt bad. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He just wanted to have fun. He said to Mom, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was just playing. I didn't know Lily would be so scared. I don't like it when someone scares me." + +Mom said, "Then you should not scare others. You should be kind and gentle to your sister. She is smaller than you and needs your protection. You should make her happy, not sad. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "I understand, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I won't scare you again. Can we be friends?" + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sorry. She wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. We can be friends. But next time, can you be a nice lion?" + +Tom hugged Lily and said, "Yes, I can be a nice lion. And you can be a beautiful bird. Let's play together." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you, Tom and Lily. You learned to say sorry and forgive. That's what friends do. Now, why don't you go and have some dry cookies and milk?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yay!" and ran to the kitchen. They shared their cookies and milk and talked about their animal games.

He tried to repair it. He put the pieces back together. He said sorry to the caterpillar. But it did not move. It did not breathe. It was dead. + +Tom cried. He was sad and scared. He did not know what to do. He ran to his mom. He told her what happened. He showed her the caterpillar. + +Mom hugged him. She said he was ignorant. He did not know that caterpillars are not toys. He did not know that they are living things. She said he should be more careful and gentle with animals. She said he should learn to respect them. She said she would help him bury the caterpillar. She said she loved him. + +Tom learned a lesson. He said sorry to the caterpillar again. He buried it in the garden. He made a cross with sticks. He said a prayer. He promised to be kind to animals. He still liked his truck. But he never ran over a caterpillar again. He was sorry. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make on her paper. She liked to draw on her desk, because it was big and brown and smooth. She did not like to draw on the wall, because Mommy said no. + +One day, Lily found a pair of scissors in the drawer. She wondered what they could do. She picked them up and opened and closed them. They made a snip-snip sound. She liked the sound. She looked at her paper and had an idea. She wanted to cut her paper into smaller pieces. She thought it would be fun. + +She started to cut her paper with the scissors. She cut and cut and cut. She made many small pieces of paper.

She did not mean to make Mommy angry. She did not know cutting was bad. She just wanted to have fun. She said sorry to Mommy. She helped Mommy clean up the mess.

They found a big old house with a broken door. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in!" said Ben. + +"No, it's scary!" said Lily. + +"Come on, don't be a baby!" said Ben. + +He pushed the door and it opened with a loud creak. He walked in and Lily followed him. They saw a dark room with a big fireplace and a lot of strange things. There were jars with eyes and spiders, books with pictures of monsters, and a big black pot with something bubbling inside. + +"Wow, look at this!" said Ben. He picked up a jar and shook it. + +"Put that down!" said a voice behind them. They turned around and saw a woman with a long nose and a pointy hat. She had a broom in her hand and a cat on her shoulder. She was a witch! + +"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" she asked. + +"We're sorry, we were just playing!" said Lily. + +"Playing? You're not playing, you're trespassing!" said the witch. "You're lucky I'm in a good mood today, or I would turn you into frogs!" + +She walked to the pot and stirred it with a spoon. She smelled it and made a face. + +"Ugh, this soup is too spicy! I need some water to settle it down!" she said. + +She looked at Lily and Ben and smiled wickedly. + +"I know, why don't you two fetch me some water from the well outside? And be quick, or I'll change my mind!" + +She pointed to the door with her broom. + +Lily and Ben were very scared. They ran to the door and outside. They saw a well in the yard. They grabbed a bucket and filled it with water. They ran back to the house and gave the bucket to the witch. + +"Here, here's your water!" said Ben. + +"Thank you, thank you!" said the witch. She poured some water into the pot and tasted it. + +"Mmm, much better!" she said. She smiled at Lily and Ben. + +"You know, you're not so bad after all. You're very helpful and polite. Maybe I won't turn you into frogs. Maybe I'll let you go." + +"Really?" said Lily. + +"Really," said the witch. "But on one condition. You have to promise me never to come back here again. This is my house and my things. You have to respect them. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, yes, we understand!" said Lily and Ben. + +"Good. Now off you go. And don't forget your promise!" said the witch. + +She opened the door and let them out. Lily and Ben ran away as fast as they could. They never went back to the woods again. They learned their lesson. They never bothered the witch or her spicy soup. +Lena loved sunflowers. She liked how they were big and yellow and happy. She liked how they turned their heads to follow the sun. She liked how they gave her seeds to eat and share. + +One day, Lena found a sunflower seed in her pocket. She decided to plant it in a pot and put it on her windowsill. She watered it every day and waited for it to grow. She hoped it would be a beautiful sunflower like the ones in the field. + +After many days, a green stem poked out of the soil. Lena was so excited. She watched it grow taller and taller, until it had a big bud on top. She wondered when it would open and show its petals. + +One morning, Lena woke up and saw a bright yellow sunflower smiling at her. She clapped her hands and ran to the pot. "Hello, sunflower!" she said. "You are so pretty and shiny!" + +The sunflower nodded and said, "Hello, Lena! You are so kind and loyal! You took good care of me and helped me grow. Thank you!" + +Lena hugged the pot and said, "You are welcome, sunflower! You are my friend and I love you!" + +They looked at each other and smiled. They were happy to have each other. They watched the sun shine through the window and felt its warmth. They were a happy sunflower and a happy girl. +Lily did not like to sleep. She was afraid of the dark and the bad dreams that came with it. Sometimes she saw scary things in her nightmare, like big monsters or loud noises. She would wake up crying and run to her mom and dad. + +One night, Lily had a plan. She took her teddy bear and her flashlight and went to her bed. She said to herself, "I am brave, I am calm, I can sleep." She turned on the flashlight and hugged her teddy bear. She closed her eyes and tried to think of happy things. + +But soon, she heard a strange sound. It was like a growl or a roar. It came from under her bed. Lily opened her eyes and felt her heart beat fast. She was scared. She wanted to scream, but she was too afraid. She thought, "Maybe it is a monster. Maybe it will get me." + +She did not know what to do. She remembered what her mom and dad told her. They said, "If you are scared, you can pray. God will hear you and help you." Lily decided to try. She put down her flashlight and her teddy bear. She got out of her bed and knelt on the floor. She folded her hands and closed her eyes. She said, "Dear God, please help me. Please make the monster go away. Please give me peace. Amen." + +She waited for a moment. She did not hear the sound anymore. She felt a warm hand on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and saw her dad. He smiled and said, "Lily, what are you doing?" He picked her up and hugged her. He said, "I heard you praying. That was very good. Do you know what the sound was? It was not a monster. It was your cat. He was playing with your flashlight under the bed. See?" He pointed to the cat, who was batting the flashlight with his paw. + +Lily looked and saw the cat. She felt silly and relieved. She said, "Oh, it was just the cat. He is not scary. He is funny." She laughed and cuddled with her dad. He said, "That's right. He is not scary. He is funny. And you are brave. And you are calm. And you can sleep. Come on, let's go back to your bed. I will tuck you in and read you a story. How does that sound?" Lily nodded and said, "That sounds good. Thank you, dad. I love you." He said, "I love you too, Lily. Good night." He carried her to her bed and tucked her in. He read her a story and kissed her good night. He turned off the flashlight and left the door open a little. He said, "Sleep tight, Lily. Don't let the bedbugs bite." Lily smiled and said, "Good night, dad. Don't let the cat bite." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She did not have any more nightmares. She had sweet dreams. +Sam and Lily were bored. They had no toys to play with and no books to read. The sky was dull and gray. They could not go outside. + +"Let's make some popcorn!" Sam said. He liked popcorn. It was crunchy and salty and yummy. + +"Okay!" Lily said. She liked popcorn too. It was fun to watch it pop in the big pot. + +They went to the kitchen and found some corn and oil and salt. They put them in the pot and turned on the stove. They waited for the popcorn to pop. + +"Pop! Pop! Pop!" They heard the popcorn make loud noises. They smiled and clapped their hands. + +"Can we eat it now?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet," Sam said. "We have to twist the lid and shake the pot. Then we can eat it." + +He grabbed the handle of the pot and tried to twist the lid. But the lid was too hot and too tight. He could not twist it. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" He cried. He let go of the pot and ran to the sink. He put his hand under the cold water. + +Lily saw what happened and felt sorry for Sam. She wanted to help him. She looked at the pot and had an idea. + +She took a towel and wrapped it around the lid. She used both hands and twisted the lid. It was hard, but she did it. She twisted the lid and opened the pot. + +"Wow!" She said. She saw the popcorn fill the pot and spill over the edge. It was white and fluffy and hot. It smelled good. + +She shook the pot and poured the popcorn into a big bowl. She sprinkled some salt on it and mixed it well. + +She brought the bowl to Sam and gave him a hug. + +"Here, Sam. I made some popcorn for you. I hope you feel better." + +Sam smiled and hugged her back. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are the best sister ever. I love you." + +They sat on the couch and ate the popcorn.

They tell Ben and Jen to be good. They say they will bring dinner when they come back. They say they love them and leave. + +Ben and Jen are happy. They can do what they want. They run and jump and make a mess. They do not wipe anything. They do not care. + +But then, they get hungry. They look for food. They find some bread and cheese. They eat it all. They do not save any for Mom and Dad. They do not think. + +Mom and Dad come back. They are tired and hungry. They see the mess. They see the empty food. They are sad and angry.

They say they are sorry too. They say they will help Mom and Dad. They say they will wipe everything. They say they love them and hug them. + +But it is too late. They have to eat bread and water. They do not like it. They are hungry and sad. They learn a lesson. They learn to be good and help. They learn to share and care. They learn to wipe. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy boats. They had a big tub of water in the backyard where they could sail their boats and pretend to be pirates. Tim had a red boat and Sam had a blue boat. They both loved their boats very much. + +One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She told them to choose one toy to bring with them.

Sam said. + +They pulled and pushed each other, trying to get their boat in the bag. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She was not happy with them. + +"Stop fighting, boys! You can't both bring your boats. You have to share and take turns. If you can't agree, then you can't bring any toys at all. Do you understand?" she said. + +Tim and Sam looked at each other and felt sorry. They did not want to make their mom angry or sad. They wanted to be obedient and good. They decided to stop fighting and choose together. + +"OK, mom, we're sorry. We will share and take turns. How about we bring the red boat today and the blue boat tomorrow?" Tim said. + +"That sounds fair. Good job, boys. I'm proud of you for being kind and respectful. Now let's go to the store and have some fun." Sam said. + +They hugged their mom and put the red boat in the bag. They left the blue boat in the tub, where it would wait for them to come back and sail it again. They were happy and ready to go. They learned that choosing together was better than fighting alone. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a new rope that she got for her birthday. She liked to swing the rope, jump over the rope, and tie the rope around things. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her new rope with her. She saw a big tree with a branch that was good for swinging. She asked her dad to help her tie the rope to the branch. He did, and then he lifted her up and pushed her gently. Lily felt like she was flying. She laughed and shouted, "Whee!" + +But then, she saw another boy who was watching her. He had no toys with him. He looked sad and bored. He walked over to Lily and said, "Can I have a turn?" Lily did not want to share her new rope. She said, "No, this is mine. Go away!" The boy said, "Please, just one turn. I have nothing to play with." Lily said, "No, no, no!" She held on to the rope tightly. + +The boy did not listen. He grabbed the rope and tried to pull it from Lily. Lily screamed and kicked. She said, "Let go! Let go!" The boy said, "No, you let go! I want a turn!" They both pulled and tugged. They both demand the rope. + +Their mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw Lily and the boy fighting over the rope. They were not happy. They said, "Stop it! Stop it! You are not being nice. You have to share and take turns." They took the rope from them and said, "Lily, you can have the rope for five minutes, and then you have to give it to the boy. And boy, you have to wait patiently and say thank you. Do you understand?" Lily and the boy nodded. They were sorry. They said, "Sorry." They did what their mom and dad said. They shared and took turns. They had fun with the rope. They became friends. They learned a lesson. +Sam liked to sing. He sang all the time. He sang in the car, in the bath, in his bed. He sang loud and happy. He wanted to sing on a big stage, with a microphone and lights and people clapping. + +One day, his mom said they were going to a park. She said there was a surprise for him there. Sam was excited.

His mom said, "This is the surprise, Sam. It's a talent show. You can sing on the stage, if you want. They have a microphone and everything." + +Sam's eyes got big. He felt nervous and happy at the same time. He said, "Yes, yes, yes! I want to sing on the stage! Can I, mom, can I?" + +His mom smiled and said, "Of course, Sam. Let's go sign up. But remember, there are other kids who want to sing too. You have to wait your turn and be nice to them." + +Sam nodded. He followed his mom to the tent.

I want to sing!" + +The lady smiled and said, "What's your name, sweetie?" + +"Sam," Sam said. + +"And what song do you want to sing, Sam?" the lady asked. + +Sam thought for a moment.

Do you know another song?" + +Sam felt sad. He didn't know another song. He only knew Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. He said, "No, I don't know another song. Can I still sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star?" + +The lady said, "Well, I guess you can, Sam. But it might be more fun if you sing something different. Do you know any nursery rhymes? Or any songs from your favorite shows?" + +Sam shook his head. He didn't know any nursery rhymes. He didn't watch many shows. He only liked to sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. + +The lady said, "Hmm, that's too bad, Sam. Well, maybe you can sing along with someone else. Do you have a friend who can sing with you?" + +Sam looked around. He didn't see any friends. He only saw strangers. He felt scared and lonely. He said, "No, I don't have a friend who can sing with me. I want to sing by myself." + +The lady said, "Okay, Sam. I understand. But you have to wait a little bit. There are other kids who want to sing too. You can sit over there and watch them. Maybe you'll learn a new song. And maybe you'll make a new friend." + +Sam said, "Okay." He didn't sound happy. He walked over to a bench and sat down. He watched the other kids sing. He saw a girl sing Old MacDonald Had a Farm. He saw a boy sing The Wheels on the Bus. He saw a pair of twins sing Row, Row, Row Your Boat. He saw a dog sing How Much is that Doggie in the Window. He didn't like any of those songs. He only liked Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. + +He waited and waited. He got bored and tired. He wondered when it was his turn. He wondered if anyone would like his song. He wondered if he would forget the words. He wondered if he would drop the microphone. He wondered if he would cry. + +He was about to give up and go home, when he heard the lady say, "And now, for our last act, we have a very special singer. He's been waiting very patiently, and he's ready to share his talent with us. Please welcome, Sam!" + +Sam heard his name. He felt a jolt of energy. He jumped up and ran to the stage. He saw the lady hand him the microphone. He saw the people look at him. He saw his mom smile and wave. He felt brave and happy. He said, "Hello, everyone. I'm Sam, and I'm going to sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." + +He took a deep breath. He opened his mouth. He sang his song. He sang it loud and clear. He sang it with all his heart. He sang it like +Ben and Jen are twins who like to play outside. One day, they see a big lake with ice on top. They want to slide on the ice and have fun. + +But Mom says, "No, the ice is not safe.

They pull Tom out of the water. They wrap him in a blanket and take him to the hospital. They say, "Tom is lucky. He could have died. He should have listened to his mom. He should have stayed away from the ice." + +Ben and Jen are glad that Tom is safe. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. You are right. The ice is not safe. We will always listen to you. We will always stay away from the ice." + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you, Ben and Jen. You are good children. You are smart and brave. You did the right thing." + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents. They know what is best for you. Do not play with things that can hurt you.

It was for the cat who lived in the house. The dog was very happy. He ate the food very fast. + +The cat saw the dog eating her food. She was very angry. She ran to the porch and hissed at the dog. The dog was scared. He ran away from the cat and hid under a bush. + +The cat looked for the dog, but she could not find him. She went back to the porch and saw that her food was gone. She was very sad. She lied down on the porch and cried. + +The dog felt bad for the cat. He came out from under the bush and walked to the porch. He had a bone in his mouth. He gave the bone to the cat. The cat was surprised. She sniffed the bone and liked it. She thanked the dog and shared the bone with him. + +The dog and the cat became friends. They ate the bone together and played in the garden. They were not hungry or angry anymore. They were happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. They make noises and pretend to drive them. + +One day, Tom sees a new car in Sam's hand. It is big and red and shiny. It looks powerful. Tom wants the new car. He asks Sam, "Can I play with your new car?" + +Sam says, "No, this is my new car. My mom gave it to me. You can play with your old cars." + +Tom feels angry. He thinks of a plan. He says, "OK, let's play a game. You lie down on the floor and close your eyes. I will count to ten and then I will find you. It will be fun." + +Sam likes games. He says, "OK, let's play." He lies down on the floor and closes his eyes. Tom starts to count. + +But Tom does not want to play. He wants the new car. He runs to Sam and grabs the new car from his hand. He says, "Ha ha, I have your new car now. It is mine. You are a fool." + +Sam opens his eyes and sees Tom with his new car. He feels sad and angry. He says, "No, give it back. That is my new car. You are a bad friend. You lie to me." + +Tom laughs and runs away with the new car. He says, "Too bad. You can't catch me. I have the powerful car. You have nothing." + +Sam cries and cries. He has no new car. He has no friend. He is alone. He wishes he never played with Tom. He wishes he never saw the new car. He wishes he had a good friend who does not lie. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. But sometimes they wanted the same blocks and they got mad at each other. + +One day, Lily saw a big red block that she wanted for her tower. She reached for it, but Ben grabbed it first. He said it was his block and he needed it for his car. Lily said no, it was her block and she needed it for her tower. They both pulled on the block and tried to take it from each other. + +Lily and Ben started to yell. They yelled very loud and very angry. They said mean things to each other, like "give me the block" and "you are a bad friend" and "I will break your toys". They made a big noise and a big mess with the blocks. + +Mom heard the yelling and came to the living room. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the block. She saw the blocks all over the floor. She was not happy. She had a clear face that showed she was not happy. + +Mom said to Lily and Ben, "Stop yelling right now. You are being rude and selfish. You need to share the blocks and play nicely. If you don't, I will take away the blocks and you will have no toys to play with. That is my threat and I mean it." + +Lily and Ben heard Mom's threat and they stopped yelling. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and to Mom. They gave each other a hug and a smile. They decided to share the block and make a tower and a car together. They said thank you to Mom and cleaned up the blocks. Mom was happy and proud of them. She gave them a hug and a kiss and said she loved them. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for each other. Lily had a big pot and a spoon. Ben had a plate and a fork. + +"It is your turn to serve me, Lily," Ben said. "What are you making?" + +"I am making soup," Lily said. "It has carrots and peas and noodles. It is very yummy." + +She stirred the pot and then poured some soup on the plate. She gave it to Ben and said, "Here you go. Be careful, it is hot." + +Ben took the plate and smelled the soup. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. It smells good. I will try it." + +He put the fork in his mouth and tasted the soup. But he made a funny face and spat it out. He said, "Yuck! This soup is not yummy. It is salty and sour and bitter. What did you put in it?" + +Lily looked at the pot and saw that she had used the wrong ingredients. She had put salt and vinegar and lemon juice in the soup instead of water and sugar and milk. She felt bad and said, "I am sorry, Ben. I made a mistake. I did not mean to make bad soup. I wanted to make good soup." + +Ben saw that Lily was sad and he felt sorry too. He said, "It is okay, Lily. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I am not mad at you. I am sure you can make good soup next time." + +He gave her a hug and said, "Let's play something else. How about we pretend we are pirates and look for treasure?" + +Lily cheered up and said, "Yes, let's do that. That sounds fun. Maybe we can find some gold and jewels and chocolate." + +They put away their toy kitchen and got their hats and swords and maps. They went on an adventure and had a lot of fun. They were not frightened of anything. They were brave and happy. They were good friends. +Ben likes to watch cartoons on TV. He likes the funny animals and the bright colors. He laughs when they do silly things. Sometimes he tries to copy them, but his mom tells him to be careful. + +One day, Ben sees a cartoon about a magic bean. The bean can grow very big and make a tall plant. The plant can take you to a place in the sky. Ben thinks that is amazing. He wants to see the place in the sky. + +He asks his mom if he can have a magic bean. His mom says no, they are not real. They are only in the cartoon. But Ben does not believe her. He thinks she is hiding the magic beans from him. + +He looks for the magic beans in the kitchen, in the garden, in the closet. He does not find any. He is sad. He thinks maybe he can make his own magic bean. He takes a green pea from his plate and puts it in a pot with some dirt. He waters it and waits. + +The next day, he runs to the pot to see if the pea has grown. He is disappointed. It looks the same. He thinks maybe it needs more water. He pours a lot of water on the pot. He waits some more. + +The next day, he runs to the pot again. He is surprised. The pea has grown a little bit. It has a tiny stem and a tiny leaf. Ben is happy. He thinks his magic bean is working. He waters it again and waits. + +The next day, he runs to the pot once more. He is shocked. The pea has grown a lot. It has a big stem and many leaves. It is taller than Ben. It is taller than the table. It is taller than the door. Ben is scared. He thinks his magic bean is too big. He does not want to go to the place in the sky. He wants to stay with his mom. + +He runs to his mom and tells her what he did. His mom is angry. She tells him he was not careful. He made a mess. He wasted water. He ruined the pot. She tells him to help her clean up. She tells him to never do that again. + +Ben is sorry. He says he is sorry. He helps his mom clean up. He learns his lesson. He does not try to copy the cartoons anymore. He knows they are not real. He knows he has to be careful. He knows he loves his mom. +Lily was a princess who lived in a big castle. She had many toys and dresses, but she was not happy. She wanted to go outside and play with the other children, but her father, the king, did not allow her. He said it was too dangerous and she had to stay inside and learn how to be a good princess. + +One day, Lily saw a bird fly by her window. It was blue and yellow and very pretty. Lily wanted to see it closer, so she opened the window and called to it. The bird flew to her and landed on her hand. Lily smiled and stroked its feathers. "Hello, little bird," she said. "What is your name?" + +The bird chirped and said, "My name is Sky. I live in the forest with my friends. We fly and sing and have fun. Do you want to come with me and see?" + +Lily nodded eagerly. She wanted to see the forest and the other animals. She wanted to have fun too. She put the bird on her shoulder and climbed out of the window. She ran to the gate and opened it. She saw a big green field with flowers and trees. She felt the sun and the wind on her face. She was happy. + +But she did not see the wolf that was hiding behind a bush. The wolf saw Lily and licked his lips. He thought she would be a tasty snack. He crept closer and closer, ready to pounce. + +Sky saw the wolf and warned Lily. "Look out, princess! There is a bad wolf behind you! He wants to eat you! Run back to the castle!" + +Lily turned around and saw the wolf. She was scared. She dropped Sky and ran as fast as she could. The wolf chased her, but Sky flew after him and pecked his eyes and nose. The wolf howled and stopped. Lily reached the gate and slammed it shut. She ran back to her room and closed the window. She was safe. + +She thanked Sky for saving her. "You are a brave and good bird, Sky. I am sorry I was silly and left the castle. I should have listened to my father. He knows what is best for me. I will never do that again." + +Sky smiled and said, "You are welcome, princess. I am glad you are okay. You are a kind and curious girl, but you have to be careful. There are many dangers in the world. You have to obey your father and learn how to be a good princess. Maybe one day, he will allow you to go outside and play with the other children. But until then, you can always talk to me. I will be your friend." + +Lily hugged Sky and said, "Thank you, Sky. You are my friend too. I will always remember you and your advice. I love you." + +They said goodbye and Sky flew away. Lily looked at the sky and smiled. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to be grateful for what she had and to respect her father's rules. She learned to be brave and kind, but also careful and wise. She learned to be a good princess. +Ben and Mia liked to play with hoops in the park. They had big hoops and small hoops, red hoops and blue hoops. They could roll them, spin them, and jump through them. + +One day, they saw an elderly lady sitting on a bench. She had a hoop too, but it was very old and rusty. She looked sad and lonely. + +"Hello, lady," Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The lady smiled and nodded. "That would be nice, thank you. I used to play with hoops when I was young, but I don't have anyone to play with now." + +"Come on, then," Mia said. "We have many hoops. You can choose one." + +The lady followed them to the grass. She picked a small, yellow hoop. She tried to roll it, but it was too heavy and slow. It fell to the ground with a clank. + +"Oh, dear," the lady said. "This hoop is not very good. It is too old and dirty." + +"Don't worry, lady," Ben said. "We can fix it. We can wipe it with a cloth and make it shiny. We can also bend it a little and make it rounder. Then it will roll better." + +Ben and Mia ran to their bag and got a cloth. They wiped the hoop with the cloth until it was clean and shiny. They also bent it a little and made it rounder. They gave it back to the lady. + +"Wow, thank you, children," the lady said. "This hoop looks much better. Let me try it again." + +She rolled the hoop with a push. It rolled faster and smoother. It made a nice sound. The lady laughed and clapped. + +"Yay, lady, you did it!" Mia said. "You are good at playing with hoops. Do you want to try some other games?" + +"Yes, please," the lady said. "You are very kind and fun. I like playing with you." + +Ben and Mia smiled. They taught the lady how to spin the hoop, how to jump through it, and how to catch it. They had a lot of fun together. They made a new friend. +Sam liked to play in the garden. He liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, he saw something new. It was a lizard. The lizard was green and brown and had a long tail. Sam wanted to touch it. + +Sam was careful. He moved slowly and quietly. He reached out his hand. The lizard did not run away. It looked at Sam with its small eyes. Sam touched the lizard's back. It was warm and rough. Sam smiled. He liked the lizard. + +Sam wanted to keep the lizard. He ran to the house. He got a box and some grass. He came back to the garden. He put the box on the ground. He tried to pick up the lizard. But the lizard did not want to go. It wriggled and scratched. It bit Sam's finger. Sam cried. He let go of the lizard. The lizard ran away. + +Sam was sad. He wanted the lizard to be his friend. He looked at his finger. It was red and sore. He heard a voice. It was his mom. She came to the garden. She saw Sam and the box and the grass. She saw Sam's finger. She asked him what happened. + +Sam told her about the lizard. He said he wanted to keep it. He said it bit him. He said he was sorry. Mom hugged him. She said it was okay. She said the lizard was old and scared. She said the lizard liked to live in the garden, not in a box. She said Sam could choose another pet. She said she would help him. She said she loved him. Sam felt better. He said he loved her too. He said he would choose a nice pet. He said he would be gentle. He said he would still look for the lizard in the garden. He said he hoped the lizard was happy. Mom smiled. She said she was sure the lizard was happy. She said she was proud of Sam. She said they would go to the pet shop tomorrow. Sam was excited. He wondered what pet he would choose. He hoped it would be a good friend. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big red truck on the road. It had a loud horn and a long hose. Lily and Ben ran to the fence to see the truck. + +The truck stopped at a house. There was smoke coming out of the window. The smoke was black and smelly. Lily and Ben felt scared. They saw people in yellow suits and helmets. They had axes and masks. They were firefighters. + +The firefighters got out of the truck. They were careful. They did not want to get hurt by the fire. They used the hose to spray water on the smoke. They broke the window and went inside. They looked for people and pets. They wanted to help them. + +Lily and Ben gazed at the firefighters. They thought they were brave and kind. They hoped everyone was safe. They clapped their hands when they saw a firefighter come out with a cat. The cat was wet and scared, but alive. The firefighter gave the cat to a lady. The lady was happy and hugged the cat. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They liked the firefighters. They liked the cat. They did not like the smoke. They went back to their garden. They played some more. They were glad they had a nice home. They were glad they had each other. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they do not like to share. They fight over everything. + +One day, they fight over a big rug. The rug is soft and colorful. Sara wants to use it as a cape. Ben wants to use it as a tent. They pull and tug on the rug. They yell and cry. + +Mom hears the noise. She is not happy. She comes to their room. She sees the mess. She sees the rug. She is angry. + +She says, "Stop! You are not nice. You are not kind. You are not good. You do not share. You do not care. You make me sad. You make each other sad. You have to learn. You have to say sorry. You have to hug. You have to be friends. Or you will lose the rug." + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not want to lose the rug. They do not want to make Mom sad. They do not want to be sad. They stop fighting. They say sorry. They hug. They are friends. + +Mom smiles. She is happy. She says, "Good. You are nice. You are kind. You are good. You share. You care. You make me glad. You make each other glad. You can keep the rug. But you have to play nice. You have to play fair. You have to play together." + +Sara and Ben nod. They are happy. They say, "Yes, Mom. We will play nice. We will play fair. We will play together. We love you. We love each other. We love the rug." + +They take the rug. They spread it on the floor. They play with their toys and books. They are quiet. They are fun. They are happy. + +The end. + +Moral: Sharing is caring. Fighting is bad. Friends are good. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They had a red cap that they shared. Sometimes they fought over who would wear the cap. Their mom told them to behave and take turns. + +One day, they saw a big truck parked near their house. It had a sign that said "Hot Sauce". They were curious and wanted to see what was inside. They sneaked up to the truck and opened the door. They saw many bottles of red sauce with pictures of peppers on them. + +"Wow, look at all this sauce!" Tom said. "I wonder how it tastes." + +"Let's try some," Lily said. She grabbed a bottle and opened it. She smelled it and made a face. "It smells spicy!" + +She poured some sauce on her finger and licked it. She screamed and ran to the grass. "Ahh, it's so spicy! It hurts my tongue!" + +Tom laughed and said, "You're silly, Lily. It can't be that spicy." He took the bottle and poured some sauce on his finger. He licked it and his eyes widened. He felt a fire in his mouth. He spit out the sauce and ran to the grass. "Ahh, it's so spicy! It hurts my tongue!" + +They both cried and looked for water. They saw a hose near the truck. They ran to the hose and turned it on. They drank some water and washed their mouths. They felt better and stopped crying. + +They heard a loud voice behind them. It was the truck driver. He was angry and said, "Hey, what are you doing? That's my sauce! You can't touch it!" + +Lily and Tom were scared and said, "Sorry, sir. We were just curious. We didn't mean to." + +The truck driver saw their red cap on the ground. He picked it up and said, "Is this yours?" + +They nodded and said, "Yes, sir. It's our cap. We share it." + +The truck driver said, "Well, you shouldn't share my sauce. It's very spicy and not for kids. You should behave and stay away from things that are not yours." + +He gave them back their cap and said, "Now go home and tell your mom what you did. And don't come near my truck again." + +Lily and Tom said, "Yes, sir. We're sorry, sir." They put on their cap and ran home. They told their mom what they did and said they were sorry. Their mom was not happy and said, "You were very naughty and careless. You could have hurt yourselves or made a mess. You have to behave and listen to me." + +She gave them a hug and said, "But I'm glad you're safe and learned your lesson. Next time, be more careful and respectful." + +Lily and Tom said, "Yes, mom. We love you, mom." They hugged her back and said, "We don't like spicy sauce. We like sweet sauce." + +Their mom smiled and said, "Me too. How about we make some cookies with sweet sauce?" + +They said, "Yes, please!" They went to the kitchen and helped their mom make some cookies. They ate some cookies and drank some milk. They felt happy and forgot about the spicy sauce. They behaved and shared their cap. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big bed. Sometimes they share, but sometimes they fight. + +One day, they want to play with the same pillow. It is soft and blue and has a picture of a star on it. Ben grabs the pillow and says, "This is mine!" Lily pulls the pillow and says, "No, this is mine!" They tug and tug and tug. + +Mom hears them and comes to the room. She sees them fighting over the pillow. She is not happy. She says, "Stop that! Why are you fighting over the pillow? You have two pillows. One for each of you." + +Ben and Lily look at the other pillow. It is hard and pink and has a picture of a flower on it. They do not like it. They think it is not cool. They both say, "But we want the star pillow!" + +Mom sighs. She says, "The star pillow is not more cool than the flower pillow. They are both pillows. They are both good for sleeping and cuddling. You can take turns with the star pillow. Or you can trade with each other. Or you can play something else. But you cannot fight over the pillow. That is not nice." + +Ben and Lily think about what Mom says. They do not want to make Mom sad. They do not want to be mean to each other. They love each other. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, twin." + +They hug Mom and hug each other. They decide to trade the pillows. Ben gives the star pillow to Lily and Lily gives the flower pillow to Ben. They say, "Thank you, twin. You are cool." + +They smile and play with their pillows. They are happy. Mom is happy. The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big puddle of water near the slide. They ran to the puddle and started to splash each other with water. They laughed and had fun. + +"Look at us, we are so wet and happy!" Tom said to Lily. + +"Yes, we are! Let's splash some more!" Lily said to Tom. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was their mom, who came to pick them up. She was not happy. She was angry. + +"Tom and Lily, what are you doing? You are all wet and dirty! You will catch a cold! And you will make the car wet too! Come here right now!" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily stopped splashing and looked at their mom. They felt sorry. They did not want to make mom angry. They walked to mom, but they did not run. They walked slowly, like a march. They hung their heads down. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We just wanted to have fun. We did not think about the car or the cold. We are sorry." Tom and Lily said. + +Mom looked at them and sighed. She was still angry, but she also loved them. She knew they were good kids who made a mistake. + +"I know you wanted to have fun, but you also have to think about the consequences. Splashing water is fun, but not when it is cold and you have no change of clothes. And you have to respect the car and keep it clean. Next time, think before you act, okay?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They hugged mom and said they loved her. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them too. She gave them a towel and helped them dry off. Then they got in the car and went home. + +The moral of the story is: Think before you act, and respect your belongings and others. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with trains. They had a big station with many tracks and trains that they could move and make sounds. They liked to share their station and have fun together. + +One day, Tom wanted to make a new track for his train. He took some of the pieces from Lily's track and put them on his side. Lily saw what he did and got angry. She said, "That's not fair! You took my pieces! Give them back!" Tom said, "No, I need them for my track! Go find your own pieces!" They started to pull and tug on the pieces, trying to get them back. + +As they pulled and tugged, they heard a loud rip. They had torn one of the pieces in half. They both stopped and looked at the broken piece. They felt sad and sorry. They had ruined their station. They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to tear it. I was being mean." They hugged and said, "It's okay. I forgive you. I was being mean too." + +They decided to work together and fix their station. They used some tape and glue to put the piece back together. They also shared their pieces and made a new track that was bigger and better than before. They were glad that they had made up and that they could play with their trains again. They learned to be kind and share with each other. They had fun and played happily ever after. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Sometimes they crashed their cars and made a big wreck. + +"Look, I'm faster than you!" Ben said, zooming his red car past Lily's blue one. + +"No, you're not! I'll catch you!" Lily said, chasing him with her car. + +They ran around the grass and the flowers, having fun. But then, Ben saw something shiny in the bushes. He stopped his car and went to see what it was. + +"Ben, where are you?" Lily called, looking for him. + +Ben found a small metal box with a button on it. He was curious and pressed the button. Suddenly, he felt a strange tingling in his body. He looked at his hands and saw that they were fading away. He was disappearing! + +"Help! Lily, help!" he shouted, scared. + +Lily heard his voice and ran to the bushes. She saw the box and the button, but she did not see Ben. + +"Ben, where are you?" she asked, worried. + +"I'm here, but I'm disappearing! I don't know what to do!" Ben said, his voice getting weaker. + +Lily was brave and smart. She guessed that the box had something to do with Ben's disappearing. She picked up the box and pressed the button again. She hoped that it would bring Ben back. + +She was right. As soon as she pressed the button, Ben reappeared. He was whole and healthy again. He hugged Lily and thanked her. + +"Wow, that was scary! I'm glad you found me!" he said. + +"Me too! That was a bad box. Let's throw it away and never touch it again!" Lily said. + +They threw the box in the trash and went back to their toy cars. They decided to play more carefully and not go near the bushes again. They had enough adventure for one day. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big rock. It is shiny and smooth. + +"Look, a mineral!" Tom says. He knows some big words. He likes to learn. + +"Can I touch it?" Lily asks. She likes shiny things. + +"Sure, but be careful. It might bite!" Tom jokes. He smiles. + +Lily laughs. She knows Tom is playful. She reaches for the rock. But then she sees something move. It is a lizard. It is green and scaly. It is on the rock. + +"Ah, a lizard!" Lily screams. She is scared. She thinks the lizard will bite her. + +Tom sees the lizard too. He is not scared. He thinks the lizard is cool. He wants to pet it. + +"Don't worry, Lily. It is just a lizard. It will not bite you. It is more scared of you than you are of it." Tom says. He tries to calm Lily. + +"Are you sure?" Lily asks. She is still scared. She hides behind Tom. + +"Yes, I am sure. Look, it is running away. It does not want to play with us." Tom says. He watches the lizard go. + +Lily peeks from behind Tom. She sees the lizard is gone. She feels better. + +"Sorry, Tom. I was silly. I thought the rock would bite me. And then I saw the lizard and I was more scared." Lily says. She is sorry for screaming. + +"It is okay, Lily. You were not silly. You were just surprised. I was surprised too. But I like lizards. They are cool animals." Tom says. He is nice to Lily. + +"Maybe they are cool. But I like minerals more. They are shiny and smooth. And they do not bite!" Lily says. She smiles. + +Tom and Lily laugh. They are friends. They like to play in the park. They go to find more minerals. And maybe more lizards. But only if they are playful. +Lily and Ben were playing with paint. They liked to mix different colors and see what they got. Lily had a big brush and Ben had a small one. They had a big paper to paint on. + +"Look, I made a flag!" Lily said. She painted a red stripe, a white stripe, and a blue stripe. "It is like the flag of our country." + +"That is nice, Lily," Ben said. "But I want to make a different flag. I want to mix all the colors and make a rainbow flag. It is like the flag of my friends." + +Ben dipped his small brush in the red paint, then in the orange paint, then in the yellow paint, and so on. He painted a big arc on the paper. Then he did the same with another arc below it. He was very proud of his rainbow flag. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily's big brush slipped from her hand and fell on the paper. It made a big splash of red paint on Ben's rainbow flag. It ruined it. + +"Hey, what did you do?" Ben cried. He was very sad and angry. He looked at his flag and saw the red stain. "You messed up my flag!" + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to," Lily said. She was very embarrassed and sorry. She looked at her flag and saw the red splash. "You can have my flag if you want." + +"No, I don't want your flag. I want my flag. It was beautiful and special," Ben said. He threw his small brush on the floor and ran away. He didn't want to play with Lily anymore. + +Lily felt very bad. She wanted to make Ben happy again. She thought of a way to fix his flag. She picked up her big brush and dipped it in the white paint. She painted over the red stain on Ben's flag. Then she dipped it in the other colors and painted them on the white spot. She tried to make it look like a rainbow again. + +She finished her painting and looked at it. It was not perfect, but it was better. She hoped Ben would like it. She took the paper and ran after Ben. She found him in the corner, crying. + +"Ben, Ben, look what I did," Lily said. She showed him the paper. "I fixed your flag. I'm sorry I ruined it. Can we be friends again?" + +Ben looked at the paper. He saw his flag. It was not the same as before, but it was still a rainbow. He saw that Lily tried to make it nice for him. He felt a little better. + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben said. He smiled a little. "It is still a pretty flag. I'm sorry I yelled at you. Can we share it?" + +"Yes, we can share it," Lily said. She smiled too. "It is our flag now. We can hang it on the wall." + +They hugged and made up. They were friends again. They hung their flag on the wall and admired it. They liked to mix colors and make flags. They learned to say sorry and to forgive. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They find a shiny rock on the ground. Sara picks it up and says, "Look, Ben, it's a diamond!" Ben says, "No, it's not. It's just a rock. Give it to me." Sara says, "No, it's mine. I found it first."

Maybe it's not a diamond or a rock. Maybe it's something else." Sara and Ben are curious. They give the rock to the lady. The lady looks at it and smiles. She says, "It's not a diamond or a rock. It's a button. A red button. See, it has a hole in the middle. Someone must have lost it from their coat or shirt." + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They say, "A button?" The lady says, "Yes, a button.

The cat was jumping on the rug, when the dog said, "Stop jumping, please!" + +But the cat didn't want to stop, so he kept jumping and said, "It's fun!" + +The dog replied, "It's not fine. You are going to break the rug!" + +The cat didn't understand why the dog was complaining. He said, "I'm just playing, why do you always complain?" + +The dog said, "I just don't want you to get in trouble or hurt. That's why I'm telling you to stop." + +The cat finally realized the dog was right, and he stopped jumping on the rug. From then on, they both agreed that playing on the rug was fine — as long as they were careful. +Once upon a time, there was a number of dogs. They were all mild, which meant they were friendly and kind. + +One day, one of the dogs found a ball. He took it to the other dogs and they all started to play. They chased and kicked the ball around and had great fun. + +When they became tired, they lay in a circle together and shared the ball. One of the dogs rolled around the ball and made it fly in the air. They all watched it and barked loudly. Then they ran together and caught it. + +After a while, they had to go home. But they promised they would come and play the next day. So they said goodbye with happy tails and all went their separate ways. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She loved playing in her garden and listening to the birds singing in the trees. One day she spotted a wire snaking its way through the grass. She was fascinated by it, so she reached out to touch it. Suddenly she felt a jolt of electricity and she yelped in pain. + +Her mom rushed over and shouted, "Stop! That wire is dangerous." But the little girl's curiosity got the better of her as she asked, "What does it do?" + +Her mom replied, "It carries electricity, and if you touch it, you can get hurt. You need to be careful or you might get very sleepy." + +The little girl yawned and nodded, but the next day she was back to the same spot, still fascinated by the wire. She reached out to touch it again, and was zapped by the electricity. Her mom heard her scream, raced outside and found her lying on the grass - fast asleep. She was so worried that she quickly took her to the hospital. + +Unfortunately, the little girl never woke up. Even though she was warned, her curiosity got the better of her. Her mom was very sad and cried, wishing that she had been more careful around the wire. +Once upon a time, there was a weird square. It was white with gray lines, and it seemed to have a mind of its own. + +Every day, a little three-year-old girl walked by it. She stopped and wondered, “What is this square?†+ +The little girl asked her mom, “Mom, what is this square?†+ +Her mom replied, “Honey, keep away from that square. It might be weird, but it could be dangerous too.†+ +The little girl obeyed her mom, but she kept thinking about the strange square. One day, she decided to go bravely closer. + +She was about to reach it, when suddenly the square began to move. It was alive! + +The little girl was scared. It was like the square wanted her to keep away. She ran off, understanding why her mom wanted her to be careful. + +The little girl never went back again, but she could never forget that weird square. +Once upon a time there was an ancient tree. Everyone had lots of questions about it, like why it was so old and why it had grown there for so long. + +One day, a small girl wanted to find out the answers to those questions. She walked up the path to the tree and said softly, "Hello tree, can you help me?". + +The tree was old, so it was very slow to answer. After a moment, it whispered, "I can lead you to the answers you seek". + +So the girl held onto the ancient tree's hands and she was taken on a journey. Along the way, she asked lots of questions about the tree. The tree answered them all in its ancient voice. + +At last, the two reached the destination. The little girl looked at the tree with wonder and smiled, "Thank you so much". + +The ancient tree smiled back and said, "I am happy to have helped you find the answers you were looking for". Then, the two went back down the path together. +John was walking in the park with his mom. He saw a furry animal sticking out of the bushes. He asked, "What is that animal, Mommy?" His mom said, "It's a rabbit, John. It looks very soft and furry." John said, "Can I go touch it?" His mom said, "No, John. You don't know if the animal is friendly or not. You don't want it to get scared." + +John asked, "How can I know if the animal is friendly?" His mom said, "Try to wait until the animal comes over to you on its own. If it does that, then you know it wants to be friends with you."
