She climbed on a chair and reached for it. She was careful, but the vase was heavy. It slipped from her fingers and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. Lily heard a loud noise. She felt scared and sorry. + +Her mom heard the noise too. She ran to Lily's room. She saw the broken vase and Lily's tears. She was angry and worried. She asked Lily what happened. Lily told her the truth. She said she was sorry. She said she wanted to listen to a story. + +Her mom hugged Lily and calmed her down. She told her that the vase was not very important. She said she was glad that Lily was not hurt. She said she was proud that Lily was honest. She said she loved her very much. She said she would tell her a story later, when she was done with her work. She said she was reliable and always kept her promises. + +Lily felt better and hugged her mom back. She said she loved her too. She said she would wait for the story. She said she would be good and quiet. She helped her mom clean up the mess. She learned a lesson. She decided not to touch the vase again. +Ben was a naughty boy. He liked to play with his mom's things when she was not looking. One day, he found a big ruler in her drawer. He thought it was a sword and he ran around the house with it. He pretended to fight with dragons and monsters. + +"Ben, what are you doing with my ruler?" his mom asked. She was angry. She needed the ruler to measure some fabric for her sewing project. + +"It's not a ruler, mom. It's a sword. I'm a brave knight," Ben said. + +"Give it back to me, Ben. You could hurt yourself or break something. That's not a toy," his mom said. + +"No, mom. It's mine. I found it," Ben said. He did not want to give up his sword. He ran away from his mom and hid under the bed. + +His mom followed him and pulled him out. She took the ruler from him and scolded him. She told him to go to his room and think about what he did. She said he could not play with his toys until he said sorry. + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not think he did anything wrong. He went to his room and slammed the door. He lay on his bed and cried. He wished he had a real sword and a real dragon to fight. + +That night, Ben had a nightmare. He dreamed that he was in a dark forest and a big dragon was chasing him. He had no sword, no shield, no armor. He was scared and alone. He tried to run away, but the dragon was faster. He felt the dragon's hot breath on his neck and heard its loud roar. + +"Help, mom!" Ben screamed. He woke up and saw his mom standing by his bed. She looked worried and hugged him. + +"What's wrong, Ben? Did you have a bad dream?" she asked. + +Ben nodded and told her about the dragon. He said he was sorry for being naughty and taking her ruler. He said he did not want to be a knight anymore. He just wanted to be her son. + +His mom smiled and kissed him. She said she forgave him and she loved him. She said he could be anything he wanted to be, as long as he was kind and respectful. She said she would read him a story and tuck him in. + +Ben felt better and snuggled with his mom. He listened to her voice and closed his eyes. He did not dream of dragons anymore. He dreamed of happy things. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. They had a lot of fun. + +Then, they saw a lady with a blue dress and a blue hat. She had a big bag with her. She looked very nice. Ben and Lily wanted to say hello to her. + +"Mom, can we talk to the lady?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be polite and don't touch her things," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily walked to the lady and smiled. + +"Hello, lady. We like your blue dress and hat. They are very pretty," Lily said. + +"Thank you, little girl. You are very sweet. What are your names?" the lady asked. + +"I'm Ben and this is Lily. We are brother and sister. We are playing in the park," Ben said. + +"That's nice. I'm Mrs. Smith. I'm here to feed the birds. Do you want to help me?" the lady asked. + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said. + +The lady opened her bag and took out some bread. She broke it into small pieces and gave some to Ben and Lily. + +"Look, there are some birds on that tree. Point to them and throw some bread. They will come and eat it," the lady said. + +Ben and Lily pointed to the birds and threw some bread. The birds flew down and ate the bread. They made happy noises. Ben and Lily laughed. + +"Wow, this is fun! Thank you, lady!" Ben and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, children. You are very kind and gentle with the birds. I'm glad you like them," the lady said. + +Ben and Lily hugged the lady and said goodbye. They ran back to their mom and told her about the lady and the birds. Mom smiled and said they did a good job. They all went home happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green cricket on a leaf. Lily wanted to catch it, but Tom was afraid. + +"Cricket can scare me," Tom said. "It can jump very high and make loud noise." + +Lily laughed. "Cricket is not scary, Tom. Cricket is intelligent. It can sing and find food and hide from birds. Come and see." + +Lily reached out her hand to touch the cricket. The cricket saw her and jumped away. It landed on Tom's head. Tom screamed and ran around. Lily chased him and tried to help. + +"Tom, Tom, calm down. It is just a cricket. It will not hurt you. Let me take it off your head." + +Tom stopped and let Lily take the cricket. Lily held it gently and showed it to Tom. + +"See, Tom. Cricket is beautiful and smart. It has long legs and wings and antennas. It can feel and hear and smell. It is a friend, not a foe." + +Tom looked at the cricket. He saw its shiny eyes and smooth body. He heard its soft chirp. He felt its tickle on his hand. + +"Cricket is not so scary, Lily. Cricket is interesting and nice. Can we keep it as a pet?" + +Lily smiled. "Sure, Tom. We can keep it as a pet. But we have to give it a name and a home and some food. What do you want to name it?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He said, "I want to name it Hoppy. Because it can hop very well." + +Lily nodded. "Hoppy is a good name. Let's go and find a jar and some grass and some water for Hoppy. Then we can play with him and listen to his song." + +Lily and Tom went inside with Hoppy. They were happy and curious. They learned a lot from their new friend. They were not scared of crickets anymore. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to eat out with their mom and dad. They always went to the same restaurant, where they had pizza and ice cream. The restaurant was cheerful, with bright colors and happy music. + +One day, Tom and Lily had a big fight. They wanted different toppings on their pizza. Tom wanted cheese and ham, and Lily wanted cheese and pineapple. They yelled at each other and pulled each other's hair. Mom and dad tried to calm them down, but they did not listen. + +"Stop it, you two!" mom said. "You can split the pizza and have half of each." + +"No!" Tom and Lily said. "I want the whole pizza!" + +They grabbed the pizza from the table and tried to pull it apart. But the pizza was too hot and cheesy. It burned their fingers and stuck to their clothes. They screamed and dropped the pizza on the floor. + +The restaurant was not cheerful anymore. The other people looked angry and scared. The waiter came and said, "You have to leave now. You made a big mess and ruined the pizza. You are not welcome here anymore." + +Mom and dad were very sad and ashamed. They paid the bill and took Tom and Lily outside. They did not give them ice cream. They did not talk to them. They drove home in silence. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and wished they had not fought. They had lost their favorite restaurant and their parents' love. They learned a hard lesson: fighting over pizza is not worth it. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Sara and Lily did everything together. They ate, slept, read, and sang. + +One day, Sara's mom said, "Sara, tomorrow is Wednesday. You know what that means?" + +Sara nodded. "Yes, mom. I go to school on Wednesday. I like school. I learn new things and make friends." + +Mom smiled. "That's right, Sara. But you also have to share your toys with the other kids. You can't take all your dolls to school. You have to choose one." + +Sara thought for a moment. She looked at all her dolls. She loved them all, but she loved Lily the most. She said, "I want to take Lily to school. She is my best friend." + +Mom said, "Okay, Sara. You can take Lily to school. But you have to be careful with her. Don't let her get dirty or lost. And don't forget to bring her back home." + +Sara hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, mom. I will take good care of Lily. She will have fun at school with me." + +The next day, Sara took Lily to school. She showed her to her teacher and her classmates. They all said Lily was very pretty and nice. Sara was happy. She played with Lily and the other kids. They drew pictures, sang songs, and listened to stories. + +But then, something bad happened. When Sara went to the bathroom, she left Lily on her desk. She forgot to take her with her. When she came back, she saw that Lily was gone. She looked around and saw that Billy, a big boy, had taken Lily. He was holding her by the hair and laughing. He said, "Look at this silly doll. She is so small and weak. I can make her do anything I want. Watch this." + +He pulled Lily's hair and twisted her arms. He made her dance and jump. He threw her in the air and caught her. He said, "This is fun. This is my doll now. You can't have her back." + +Sara was very sad and angry. She ran to Billy and said, "Stop it! Stop it! Give me back my Lily. She is not your doll. She is my doll. She is my friend. You are hurting her. You are mean." + +Billy laughed and said, "No, I won't. She is mine. You can't do anything. You are too small and weak. Go away." + +Sara felt helpless. She wanted to cry. She looked at Lily and saw that she was scared and hurt. She had tears in her eyes and dirt on her dress. She said, "Sara, help me. I want to go home with you." + +Sara loved Lily. She wanted to help her. She remembered what her mom had said. She had to be careful with Lily. She had to bring her back home. She had to share her toys, but not with mean kids. She had an idea. She said, "Billy, you are right. Lily is small and weak. She is not a good doll for you. You need a big and strong doll. Like this one." + +She pointed to a big doll that was on a shelf. The doll had short hair, a blue shirt, and a frown. It was a robot doll. It had buttons and lights and sounds. It looked cool and fun. Billy liked robots. He said, "Wow, that doll is awesome. I want that doll. Where did you get it?" + +Sara said, "I got it from my dad. He gave it to me for my birthday. He said it is a special doll. It can do many things. It can talk and walk and sing and dance. It can even become a car or a plane or a rocket. It is the best doll ever." + +Billy said, "Really? That sounds amazing. Can I see it? Can I play with it?" + +Sara said, "Sure, you can. But you have to give me back my Lily first. Then we can trade dolls. You can have the robot doll, and I can have Lily. Is that okay?" + +Billy thought for a moment. He looked at Lily and the robot doll. He decided that he liked the robot doll more. He said, "Okay, fine. Here, take your Lily. Give me the robot doll." + +He handed Lily to Sara and grabbed the robot doll. He pressed a button and the doll said, "Hello, I am Robo. I am your new friend. What do you want to do?" + +Billy smiled and said, "Cool. Let's go play." + +He ran away with the robot doll. He did +Lily and Ben were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. It was raining outside, so they could not go to the park or the zoo. They wished they had something new and fun to do. + +"Mom, can you provide us a story?" Lily asked. "We want to hear something exciting and funny." + +"Sure, I can provide you a story," Mom said. "But first, you have to help me with a little task. Can you go to the basement and bring me the big box with the old clothes?" + +Lily and Ben agreed. They put on their boots and coats and went to the basement. They saw the big box and tried to lift it, but it was too heavy. They decided to open it and take out some clothes. + +They found many strange and colorful clothes inside the box. There were hats, scarves, dresses, pants, shirts, and shoes. They looked like costumes from a different time and place. + +"Wow, these are cool!" Ben said. "Let's try them on and pretend we are someone else." + +"OK, but we have to be quick," Lily said. "Mom is waiting for the box." + +They put on some of the clothes and looked at each other. They laughed at how silly they looked. Lily wore a long purple dress and a feather hat. Ben wore a green shirt and a red coat and a pirate hat. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Ben said. "I am Captain Ben, the most feared pirate in the seven seas. And you are my prisoner, Princess Lily. I will take you to my ship and make you walk the plank." + +"Oh, no!" Lily said. "Please, spare me, Captain Ben. I will give you all my jewels and gold if you let me go." + +"Too late, Princess Lily. You have to face your fate. Follow me to the wet deck and say goodbye to the land." + +They ran to the other side of the basement, where there was a puddle of water. They pretended it was the sea and the box was the ship. They had so much fun playing pirates and princesses that they forgot about the time and the task. + +"Kids, are you done with the box?" Mom called from upstairs. "I have a story to provide you." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and realized they had not brought the box to Mom. They quickly took off the clothes and put them back in the box. They carried the box upstairs and gave it to Mom. + +"Sorry, Mom. We got distracted by the clothes. They were so fun to wear and play with," Lily said. + +"That's OK, kids. I'm glad you enjoyed the clothes. They were mine and your dad's when we were young. We used to wear them for Halloween and parties. They have many stories to tell," Mom said. + +"Really? Can you provide us some of those stories, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, I can provide you some of those stories. But first, let's have some cookies and milk. You must be hungry after your adventure," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and followed Mom to the kitchen. They were happy to have cookies and milk and to hear Mom's stories. They were not bored anymore. +Tom and Lily were playing with a toy snake. It was long and green and had red eyes. They liked to make it move and hiss. + +"Look, I can twist the snake like this!" Tom said, holding one end of the toy and spinning it around. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said, watching the snake twist and turn. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, here you go!" Tom said, handing her the other end of the toy. + +Lily grabbed the snake and tried to twist it like Tom. But she twisted it too hard and the snake broke in half. The head fell on the floor and the tail stayed in her hand. + +"Oh no!" Lily said, feeling scared. "I broke the snake!" + +Tom looked at the broken snake and saw the head on the floor. It was still moving and hissing. It looked weird and angry. + +"Uh-oh, the snake is mad!" Tom said, backing away. "We need to run!" + +Lily dropped the tail and ran after Tom. They ran out of the room and slammed the door behind them. They hoped the snake would not come after them. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons on the screen. One day, their mom says they can go to the store with her. They are very happy and put on their shoes and coats. + +At the store, they see many things. They see food, clothes, books, and toys. Anna and Ben want to buy everything. They ask their mom, "Can we have this? Can we have that?" Their mom says, "No, we can't. We only have enough money for what we need. We are not rich." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They don't understand why they can't have what they want. They see a rich lady with a big cart full of things. She has a big hat, a big coat, and a big purse. She also has a little dog with a pink bow. She looks at Anna and Ben and says, "What are you looking at? Go away, you poor kids. You can't afford anything here." + +Anna and Ben are angry. They don't like the rich lady. She is mean and rude. They want to make her go away. They have an idea. They sneak behind her cart and push it. The cart rolls away and crashes into a shelf. The shelf falls down and makes a loud noise. The things on the shelf break and spill. The rich lady screams and drops her dog. Her dog runs away and barks. + +Anna and Ben laugh and run away. They find their mom and say, "Mom, can we go home now? We don't like the store. We like our toys and our screen better." Their mom says, "Yes, let's go home. But what did you do? Why is there such a mess?" Anna and Ben say, "We don't know. We didn't do anything. We are good kids." Their mom says, "OK, let's go. But don't lie to me. I know you are not angels." Anna and Ben smile and hold their mom's hand. They are happy to go home. +Lily and Tom are playing with their books. They like to look at the pictures and say the words. Lily has a book about animals. Tom has a book about cars. + +"Look, Lily, this is a car. It can go fast and make noise. Vroom, vroom!" Tom says, pointing at a red car on his page. + +"Wow, Tom, that is a nice car. Can I see?" Lily asks, moving closer to Tom. + +"Sure, Lily, you can see. But be careful, this book is heavy. It has many pages." Tom says, lifting his book for Lily. + +Lily tries to hold the book, but it is too heavy for her. She drops it on the floor. The book makes a loud bang. Some of the pages come out of the book. + +"Oh no, Tom, I'm sorry. I broke your book." Lily says, feeling sad. + +"It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. We can fix it. Let's load the pages back into the book." Tom says, picking up the pages. + +They start to load the pages back into the book. But they do not know the right order. They mix up the pages. They put a page with a lion next to a page with a bike. They put a page with a fish next to a page with a plane. + +They look at the book and laugh. It looks funny. They see funny things on the pages. + +"Look, Lily, this is a lion. It can roar and bite. Roar, roar!" Tom says, pointing at the lion. + +"Look, Tom, this is a bike. It can pedal and ring. Ding, ding!" Lily says, pointing at the bike. + +They keep looking at the funny pages and making funny noises. They have fun with their book. They do not mind that it is broken. They like it better this way. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play chess. Chess is a game with black and white pieces. You move the pieces on a board with squares. You try to catch the other king. + +One day, Ben and Sam are playing chess at Ben's house. Ben is black and Sam is white. Sam is winning. He has more pieces than Ben. Ben is sad. He does not like to lose. + +"Checkmate!" Sam says. He points to Ben's king. He has trapped it with his queen and rook. "I win! You lose!" + +Ben is angry. He does not want to lose. He has a fake chess piece in his pocket. It looks like a black queen, but it is not real. It is made of plastic. He takes it out and puts it on the board. + +"No, you don't win!" Ben says. He moves his fake queen next to Sam's king. "Now I checkmate you! I win! You lose!" + +Sam is confused. He looks at the board. He sees the fake queen. He knows it is not a real chess piece. He feels cheated. + +"That's not fair!" Sam says. He grabs the fake queen and throws it on the floor. "That's a fake piece! You can't use that! You are a cheater!" + +Ben is scared. He sees Sam is angry. He tries to close the chess board and put it away. But Sam is faster. He pushes the board off the table. The pieces fall and break. The board cracks. + +"Stop it!" Ben says. He cries. He likes his chess set. It was a gift from his dad. Now it is ruined. + +Sam does not stop. He is still angry. He hits Ben in the face. Ben falls and hurts his nose. It bleeds. + +"Ow!" Ben says. He cries louder. He runs to his mom. He tells her what happened. + +Sam does not care. He does not say sorry. He picks up his coat and leaves. He does not want to be friends with Ben anymore. + +The end. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a man jog in the park. He wears a red shirt and blue shorts. He moves fast and breathes hard. He looks strong and happy. + +"Wow, look at him!" Tim says. "He can jog so well. I want to jog like him." + +"Me too!" Sam says. "Let's jog with him. Maybe he can teach us." + +They run after the man. They try to keep up with him. They wave and smile and say hello. But the man does not wave or smile or say hello. He does not stop or slow down. He does not look at them. He jogs on and on. + +Tim and Sam feel sad. They think the man is not polite. They think he does not like them. They slow down and stop. They sit on a bench and catch their breath. + +"Why is he so mean?" Tim asks. "We just want to jog with him. We just want to be his friends." + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe he is busy. Maybe he has a problem. Maybe he does not hear us." + +They look at the man. He is far away now. He jogs out of the park. They do not see him anymore. + +Then they see a woman jog in the park. She wears a yellow shirt and green shorts. She moves fast and breathes hard. She looks strong and happy. + +"Wow, look at her!" Sam says. "She can jog so well. I want to jog like her." + +"Me too!" Tim says. "Let's jog with her. Maybe she can teach us." + +They run after the woman. They try to keep up with her. They wave and smile and say hello. And the woman waves and smiles and says hello. She stops and slows down. She looks at them. She jogs with them. + +Tim and Sam feel happy. They think the woman is polite. They think she likes them. They jog with her and talk with her. They learn from her. + +She teaches them how to jog better. She teaches them how to move their arms and legs and feet. She teaches them how to breathe and relax and enjoy. She jogs with them around the park. They have fun. + +They thank the woman for jogging with them. They hug her and say goodbye. They promise to jog with her again. They go back to the bench and drink some water. + +"That was fun!" Tim says. "She was so nice. She was a good teacher. I like her." + +"Me too!" Sam says. "She was so polite. She was a good friend. I like her." + +They smile and high-five. They are proud of themselves. They can jog better now. They are strong and happy. They are joggers. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with water. One day, they find a big bucket of water in the yard. They think it is fun to splash and soak each other. + +They see a nest in the tree. There are four eggs in the nest. The eggs are little and blue. Tom and Sam want to see the eggs. They get a ladder and climb the tree. + +They reach the nest and touch the eggs. The eggs are warm and smooth. They hear a loud squawk. A big bird is flying to the nest. The bird is angry. It is the mother of the eggs. + +The bird pecks at Tom and Sam. It hurts them. They drop the eggs. The eggs fall and break. The bird cries. Tom and Sam cry. They run down the ladder and away from the bird. + +They are wet and hurt and sad. They broke the eggs. They made the bird sad. They did a bad thing. They are sorry. +Tom was a gifted boy. He liked to mind his toys and books. He knew many words and colors and shapes. He could count to ten and sing songs. He was happy at home with his mom and dad. + +One day, Tom went for a walk with his mom. They saw many things on the street. They saw cars and bikes and dogs and cats. They saw flowers and trees and birds and bees. They saw shops and houses and people and signs. Tom asked his mom many questions. He wanted to learn more. + +But then, Tom saw something that made him sad. He saw a boy who had no toys and no books. He had no mom and no dad. He had no home. He was sitting on the street with a cup and a sign. He looked lonely and cold and hungry. + +Tom felt sorry for the boy. He wanted to help him. He thought of his toys and books. He had so many. He did not need them all. He had an idea. He asked his mom if he could give some of his toys and books to the boy. His mom said yes. She was proud of Tom. + +Tom ran to the boy with a big smile. He gave him some of his toys and books. He said, "These are for you. I hope you like them. They are fun and good. You can mind them and learn from them. You are gifted too." The boy was surprised and happy. He thanked Tom. He hugged him. He said, "You are very kind. You are my friend. You made my day." Tom was happy too. He hugged him back. He said, "You are welcome. You are my friend too. You made my day." They both smiled. They both felt better. They both learned something. +Sara loved to look at the pretty birds in the pet shop. She liked their colors and their songs. She wanted to have a bird of her own. One day, she saw a small yellow bird in a birdcage. It looked sad and lonely. Sara asked her mom if she could buy it. + +"Mom, can I have that bird? Please, please, please?" Sara begged. + +Her mom looked at the bird and saw that it was trembling. She felt sorry for it. + +"OK, Sara, we can buy the bird. But you have to take good care of it. It needs food, water, and love. And you have to let it out of the cage sometimes. It needs to fly and play," her mom said. + +Sara nodded and hugged her mom. She was so happy. She named the bird Sunny. She took it home and put it in her room. She gave it seeds and water and talked to it softly. She opened the cage door and waited for Sunny to come out. But Sunny was scared. He stayed inside the cage and trembled. + +"Don't be afraid, Sunny. I won't hurt you. You are my friend. Come out and play with me," Sara said. + +She reached her hand inside the cage and gently stroked Sunny's feathers. Sunny felt Sara's warmth and kindness.

But when she picked it up, she heard a loud noise. It was a big, scary dog that wanted to play with her. + +Lily was very worried. She did not want to play with the dog. She wanted to run away and hide. She dropped the acorn and ran as fast as she could. But the dog was faster. He followed her and barked. Lily looked for a place to hide, but she could not find one. + +She ran and ran until she saw a big tree. She climbed up the tree and hoped the dog would not see her. But the dog saw her and jumped.

"You can lend it for a little while, but you have to give it back to me later." + +Tom nodded and took the doll. He played with it in his room, but he forgot to be careful. He threw the doll in the air and caught it, but one time he missed and the doll fell out of the window. It landed in a deep puddle of mud. + +"Oh no!" Tom cried. He ran outside to get the doll, but it was too dirty and wet. He tried to clean it, but it was still stained and soggy. He felt very bad and scared. He did not know what to say to Sara. + +Sara came to his house to get her doll back. She knocked on the door and Tom opened it. He held the doll behind his back and looked at the ground. + +"Hi, Tom. Can I have my doll back now?" Sara asked. + +Tom did not answer. He was too ashamed to show her the doll. + +"Tom, what's wrong? Where is my doll?" Sara asked again. + +Tom sighed and showed her the doll. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was not careful with your doll. I threw it in the air and it fell in the mud. I tried to clean it, but it's still dirty and wet. I'm very sorry. Please don't be mad at me." + +Sara looked at her doll and felt sad and angry. She loved her doll and now it was ruined. She wanted to yell at Tom and take her doll back, but she saw that Tom was also sad and sorry. She remembered that Tom was her friend and that he shared his toys with her. She decided to forgive him. + +"It's okay, Tom. I'm not mad at you. I know you did not mean to hurt my doll. You are my friend and I still like you. But next time, you have to be more careful with other people's things. You have to treat them the way you want them to treat yours. That's what friends do," Sara said. + +Tom nodded and hugged Sara. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind and forgiving. You are my friend and I still like you too. I'm sorry for what I did. Next time, I will be more careful with your things. And I will try to fix your doll or buy you a new one. That's what friends do." + +Sara smiled and hugged Tom back. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very honest and sorry. You are my friend and I still like you too. I don't need a new doll. I just need you to be my friend. That's what friends do." + +They went inside and played with other toys. They learned to be more careful, kind, and forgiving. They were happy and stayed friends. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with horses. They went to the stable every day to feed and brush them. Lily's favorite horse was Brownie, a big and gentle brown horse. Tom's favorite horse was Star, a fast and shiny white horse. + +One day, Lily and Tom had a race with their horses. They ran across the field and back to the stable. Star was faster than Brownie and won the race. Tom was very happy and said, "I won! I won! Star is the best horse ever!" + +Lily was sad and jealous. She loved Brownie and did not like to lose. She said, "No, you did not win. You cheated. You started before me. Brownie is the best horse ever!" + +Tom and Lily started to argue and shout. They did not want to play with each other anymore. They turned their backs and walked away. + +The horses did not like to see their friends fight. They neighed and nudged each other. They wanted to solve the problem and make them happy again. They had an idea. They followed Tom and Lily and blocked their way. They pushed them gently towards each other. They licked their faces and snorted. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and felt silly. They realized they were both wrong and said sorry. They hugged and smiled. They said, "We are sorry. We both love our horses. They are both the best horses ever!" + +They thanked the horses and gave them carrots and apples. They decided to race again, but this time they would not care who won. They just wanted to have fun. They rode their horses and laughed. They were friends again. +Sara and Ben love to ride their bikes. They ride fast and have fun. One day, they go to a camp with their mom and dad. The camp has many trees and animals. Sara and Ben see a cute bunny near their tent. They want to play with it. + +They get off their bikes and run to the bunny. But the bunny is scared. It runs away. Sara and Ben chase it. They do not see where they are going. They get lost in the woods. They do not have their bikes or their mom and dad. They are sad and scared. + +They hear a loud noise. It is a big bear. The bear is hungry. It sees Sara and Ben. It wants to eat them. Sara and Ben scream. They wish they had their bikes. + +But then, they hear another noise. It is their mom and dad. They have their bikes. They ride fast to Sara and Ben. They scare the bear away. They hug Sara and Ben. They are happy and relieved. + +Sara and Ben say sorry to their mom and dad. They say they will not chase bunnies again. They say they will stay close to their bikes and their mom and dad. They learn a lesson. They ride back to the camp. They have a good night. They see the cute bunny again. But they do not bother it. They smile and wave. The bunny smiles and waves back. +Anna and Ben like to play in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen and snow angels. They have fun and laugh a lot. But sometimes they get cold and wet. Then they go inside to warm up. + +Mommy is in the kitchen. She makes hot cocoa and cookies for Anna and Ben. She says they can have a treat if they are good. Anna and Ben are good. They drink their cocoa and eat their cookies. They say thank you to Mommy. + +But Anna and Ben are not sleepy. They are restless. They want to play more. They run around the living room and jump on the couch. They make noise and mess. Mommy is not happy. She says they need to calm down and relax. + +Mommy has an idea. She says she will give Anna and Ben a massage. She says it will make them feel good and cozy. Anna and Ben are curious. They don't know what a massage is. They agree to try it. + +Mommy tells Anna and Ben to lie down on the floor. She puts a soft blanket over them. She plays some quiet music. She rubs their backs and shoulders and arms and legs. She says nice words to them. She says they are sweet and smart and brave. She says she loves them. + +Anna and Ben feel warm and happy. They like the massage. They feel their muscles relax and their minds quiet. They stop being restless. They start to feel sleepy. They close their eyes and snuggle with Mommy. They say they love her too. + +Mommy smiles and kisses them. She says they are good children. She says they can play in the snow again tomorrow. She says they need to sleep now. She says good night and turns off the light. + +Anna and Ben fall asleep. They dream of snow and cocoa and cookies and massage. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play in the park with their ball. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and has thick fur. The dog runs to them and wants to play with their ball. + +"Go away, dog!" Lily says. "This is our ball!" + +But the dog does not listen. The dog grabs the ball with his teeth and runs away. Lily and Ben chase the dog. They want their ball back. + +"Give us our ball, dog!" Ben says. "That is not nice!" + +But the dog does not yield. The dog keeps running and playing with the ball. Lily and Ben get tired and sad. They do not know what to do. + +Then they see a man in the park. The man is the dog's owner. He calls the dog by his name. + +"Rex, come here!" the man says. "Drop the ball, Rex!" + +The dog hears the man and obeys. The dog drops the ball and runs to the man. The man picks up the ball and gives it to Lily and Ben. + +"I'm sorry, kids," the man says. "Rex likes to play with balls, but he does not know how to share. He is still learning. Here is your ball." + +Lily and Ben smile and say thank you. They are happy to have their ball back. They decide to play with Rex and the man for a while. They learn that Rex is a friendly dog, but he needs to yield sometimes. They have fun in the park. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. They see the sun in the sky. It is bright and warm. + +"Let's go to the park!" Tim says. "We can swing and slide and run." + +"OK!" Sue says. "That sounds fun." + +They hold hands and walk to the park. They see many people and cars. It is noisy. They hear horns and sirens and dogs. + +They cross the street. They look both ways. They see a big truck. It is coming fast. It does not stop. + +"Watch out!" Tim shouts. He pulls Sue back. But it is too late. + +The truck hits Sue. She falls down. She does not get up. She does not talk. She does not move. + +Tim cries. He screams. He runs to Sue. He hugs her. He says, "Sue, Sue, wake up! Please wake up!" + +But Sue does not wake up. She is gone. Tim is alone. He is sad. He is scared. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. But today it is cold and wet. Mom says they have to wear coats and boots. Anna and Ben do not want to wear coats and boots. They are stubborn. + +"No, no, no!" they say. "We want to wear our shirts and shoes. They are nice and colorful. Coats and boots are boring and heavy." + +Mom tries to explain. "But it is cold and wet outside. You will get sick and dirty. Coats and boots will keep you warm and dry. Please, wear them for me." + +Anna and Ben shake their heads. They run away from Mom. They grab their shirts and shoes and put them on. They sneak out of the house. They go to the park. + +The park is not fun today. It is cold and wet. Anna and Ben shiver and slip. Their shirts and shoes get wet and muddy. They feel sick and sad. They wish they had listened to Mom. They wish they had worn their coats and boots. + +They see Mom coming. She looks angry and worried. She scolds them. "Why did you not wear your coats and boots? Why did you not listen to me? You are stubborn and naughty. Now you are sick and dirty. You have to go home and take a bath. And you have to stay in bed. No more park for you." + +Anna and Ben cry. They say they are sorry. But it is too late. They have to go home and take a bath. And they have to stay in bed. They have no more park. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room at night. They had a big box of toys, but their favorite ones were the glow stars. The glow stars were small and shiny and they stuck to the wall. Lily and Ben liked to make shapes and pictures with the glow stars, like a moon, a flower, or a dinosaur. + +One night, when their mom said it was time for bed, they did not want to stop playing. They were not obedient. They pretended to sleep, but when their mom left, they turned on their flashlight and took out the glow stars. They made a big rocket with the glow stars on the wall, and then they pretended to fly to space. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Ben said, making noises with his mouth. "We are going to the moon!" + +"Look, there are aliens!" Lily said, pointing to some glow stars that looked like eyes and antennas. "They are friendly, let's say hello!" + +They moved closer to the wall, and reached out their hands to touch the glow stars. But as they did, something strange happened. The glow stars started to move and blink, and then they flew off the wall. They swirled around Lily and Ben, making a bright circle of light. Lily and Ben were scared and surprised. They dropped their flashlight and screamed. + +"What's happening?" Ben cried. "The glow stars are alive!" + +"They want to escape!" Lily said. "They want to go back to space!" + +Their mom heard their screams and ran to their room. She turned on the light and saw Lily and Ben surrounded by the glow stars. She was shocked and confused. She quickly grabbed Lily and Ben and hugged them. + +"Are you okay?" she asked. "What are you doing with these glow stars?" + +Lily and Ben did not know how to explain. They looked at the glow stars, and saw that they were fading and falling to the floor. They felt sorry for the glow stars, and wondered if they would ever see them again. + +"We were playing, mom," Lily said. "We were pretending to go to space." + +"We met some aliens, mom," Ben said. "They were nice, but they wanted to escape." + +Their mom did not understand, but she saw that they were not hurt. She smiled and kissed them. + +"Okay, my little astronauts," she said. "It's time for bed. No more playing with the glow stars. They need to rest, too." + +She helped them put the glow stars back in the box, and tucked them in their beds. She turned off the light and said good night. + +Lily and Ben closed their eyes, and dreamed of the glow stars. They hoped that they would see them again, and maybe go to space with them. They were happy, and they were obedient. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they observe a big truck. The truck has many bags of waste. The truck stops near a big bin. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom says. "It has so much waste!" + +"I wonder what is in the bags," Sue says. "Maybe toys or books or clothes." + +Tom and Sue run to the truck. They want to see the waste. They open a bag. They see paper and plastic and cans and bottles. + +"Look, Sue, we can use these things!" Tom says. "We can make crafts or games or forts." + +"No, Tom, we can't," Sue says. "These things are dirty and broken. They are not good for us. They are good for the bin." + +"But they are still things," Tom says. "We can't waste them. We can have fun with them." + +Sue shakes her head. She is wise. She knows that waste is not fun. It is bad for the park and the animals and the people. + +"Tom, listen to me," Sue says. "We have to put the waste back in the bag. We have to let the truck take it away. We have to keep the park clean and safe. We have to be good friends to the earth." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He sees that Sue is right. He is sorry. He helps Sue put the waste back in the bag. They close the bag. They wave to the truck driver. They say sorry. + +The truck driver smiles. He is happy. He sees that Tom and Sue are good kids. He says thank you. He drives away with the waste. + +Tom and Sue go back to the park. They find their own toys and books and clothes. They play with them. They have fun. They are happy. They are wise. +Lila and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They wanted to build a big tower, but they had different ideas. Lila liked to use red and blue blocks, and Ben liked to use yellow and green blocks. + +"Give me that block, Lila!" Ben said, reaching for a red block that Lila was holding. + +"No, Ben, this is my block!" Lila said, pulling the block away. "You have many blocks already!" + +"But I need more blocks to make my tower taller!" Ben said, trying to grab the block again. + +They both pulled hard on the block, and it broke in half. They looked at the broken block, and then at each other. They felt sad and angry. + +"Look what you did, Lila! You broke the block!" Ben said, throwing his half on the floor. + +"Me? You broke the block, Ben! You were too rough!" Lila said, throwing her half on the floor too. + +They both turned away from each other, and sat on opposite sides of the room. They did not want to play with each other anymore. They did not want to share or yield. + +The room was quiet, except for the sound of the clock. It ticked and tocked, and showed the time. It was almost noon, and soon their mom would come home from work. + +They looked at the clock, and saw that it had a big zero on it. They knew that zero meant nothing. They felt like they had nothing too. They had no fun, no friends, no blocks. They felt bitter in their hearts. + +They wished they had not fought over the block. They wished they had been kind and gentle. They wished they had said sorry and hugged. + +They looked at each other, and saw that they were both sad and lonely. They felt a tug in their chests. They felt sorry and sorry. + +They got up from their seats, and walked towards each other. They picked up the broken halves of the block, and held them together. They smiled and said: + +"I'm sorry, Lila. I love you." + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I love you too." + +They hugged and kissed, and felt happy and warm. They put the block back in the box, and took out some more blocks. They decided to build a new tower, with all the colors. They shared and yielded, and had fun and friends. They felt sweet in their hearts. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the mud. She made mud pies, mud castles and mud animals. She had a lot of fun, but she also got very dirty. Her clothes, her hair and her skin were all covered in mud. + +One day, her mother called her to come inside. "Lily, it's time to bathe. You are too dirty to eat dinner. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Lily did not want to bathe. She liked being dirty. She thought it was fun. She said, "No, Mommy, I don't want to bathe. I want to play more." + +Her mother was not happy. She said, "Lily, you have to bathe. It is good for you. It makes you clean and healthy. If you don't bathe, you will get sick and itchy. And you will smell bad. Do you want that?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She did not want to get sick or itchy. She did not want to smell bad. She wanted to be a good girl. She said, "OK, Mommy, I will bathe. But can I play with the soap?" + +Her mother smiled. She said, "Yes, you can play with the soap. But you have to wash yourself well. And you have to rinse off the soap. And you have to dry yourself with the towel. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, Mommy, I can do that. I will be obedient." + +Her mother hugged her. She said, "That's my good girl. I love you, Lily. Now let's go to the bathroom and bathe." + +Lily and her mother went to the bathroom. Lily played with the soap. She made bubbles and shapes. She washed herself well. She rinsed off the soap. She dried herself with the towel. She felt clean and fresh. She was happy. + +Her mother praised her. She said, "You did a great job, Lily. You are very obedient. I am proud of you. Now you can eat dinner and go to bed. You will sleep well and have sweet dreams." + +Lily thanked her mother. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you, too. You are the best Mommy in the world." + +They hugged and kissed. They ate dinner and went to bed. They slept well and had sweet dreams. + +The moral of the story is: It is important to bathe and be clean. It is good for your health and your happiness. It is also good to be obedient and listen to your parents. They love you and want the best for you. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many feathers. The bird was blue and yellow and had a long tail. Sara and Tom liked the bird. They wanted to touch it. + +"Can we go near the bird?" Sara asked Tom. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe the bird is scared of us." + +They walked slowly to the bird. The bird did not fly away. It looked at them with its black eyes. Sara and Tom smiled. They reached out their hands to the bird. + +But then, a loud noise came from behind. It was a dog. The dog barked and ran to the bird. The bird was afraid. It flew away quickly. But one of its feathers fell to the ground. + +Sara and Tom were sad. They wanted to play with the bird. They did not like the dog. They picked up the feather. It was soft and colorful. + +"Look, we have a feather from the bird," Sara said. + +"Maybe the bird will come back someday," Tom said. + +They held the feather and went home. They hoped to see the bird again. They put the feather in a box. They kept it as a memory of the bird. +Jen and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys and books in their room. But they did not like to share them with each other. They always fought over who got what and who had more. + +One night, their mom said it was time to go to bed. She told them to put away their toys and books and say good night. Jen and Ben did not listen. They wanted to keep playing and fighting. They did not care that it was dark and late. + +Mom was angry. She came into their room and saw the mess. She said they were naughty and selfish. She took away all their toys and books and put them in a big box. She said they could not have them back until they learned to share and be nice. She closed the box and locked it. Then she closed the door and left them alone. + +Jen and Ben were sad and scared. They had no toys and books to play with or read. They had no light to see. They had no mom to hug them. They wished they had been thoughtful and kind. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had said sorry and good night. But it was too late. They had to sleep in the dark and quiet. They had a bad night. +Lily and Ben were playing with their new toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and beep on the floor. But soon, Lily's car stopped moving. She looked at it and saw a red light. + +"Ben, my car is broken!" she cried. + +Ben came over and looked at her car. He knew what was wrong. He had seen Dad do it before. + +"Your car is not broken, Lily. It just needs a new battery. A battery is what makes it go. See, this is a battery." He showed her a small round thing with two metal ends. + +"Where do we get a new battery?" Lily asked. + +"We can ask Dad. He has some in his drawer. Come on, let's go." Ben said. + +They ran to Dad's room and knocked on the door. Dad was working on his computer. He was printing some papers for his job. + +"Hi, kids. What do you need?" he asked. + +"Dad, can we have a battery for Lily's car? It stopped working." Ben said. + +"Sure, let me see. I think I have some spare ones here." Dad opened his drawer and took out a pack of batteries. He gave one to Ben and said, "Here you go. Be careful with it. Don't put it in your mouth or break it. It can be dangerous." + +"Thank you, Dad. We will be careful." Ben said. He took the battery and ran back to Lily. He opened her car and put the battery inside. He closed it and turned it on. The car started to move again. + +"Yay, it works! Thank you, Ben. You are so smart." Lily said. + +They hugged and went back to playing with their cars. They were happy and had fun. + +But in the corner, there was another car. It was Tim's car. Tim was Lily and Ben's older brother. He was spoiled and mean. He did not like to share his toys. He saw that Lily and Ben had new cars and he wanted them. He waited until they were not looking and sneaked over. He grabbed Lily's car and ran away. + +"Hey, that's my car! Give it back!" Lily shouted. + +"Too bad, it's mine now. Finders keepers." Tim said. + +He ran to his room and locked the door. He laughed and played with Lily's car. He did not care that he made her sad. He was a bad brother. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they disagree. One day, Sara found a diary in their room. It was pink and had a lock. Sara wanted to open it and read it. + +"Ben, look what I found!" Sara said. "It is a diary. Maybe it has secrets inside. Can we open it?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, Sara. That is bad. The diary belongs to Mom. She writes in it every night. We should not touch it. It is not ours." + +Sara frowned. "But I want to see what Mom writes. Maybe she writes about us. Maybe she writes about fun things. Please, Ben. Let us open it. Just a little bit." + +Ben crossed his arms. "No, Sara. I disagree. If we open it, Mom will be angry. She will be sad. She will not trust us. We should put it back where we found it. And we should not tell Mom. It is better that way." + +Sara and Ben argued for a while. They raised their voices. They did not listen to each other. They did not notice that Mom came into the room. She heard them and saw the diary in Sara's hand. + +"Children, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why do you have my diary?" + +Sara and Ben stopped arguing. They looked at Mom. They felt guilty. They did not know what to say. + +Mom took the diary from Sara. She opened it and checked the pages. She saw that the lock was not broken. She saw that the diary was not read. She sighed and smiled. + +"I am glad that you did not open my diary," Mom said. "It is private. It is mine. I write about my feelings and my thoughts. Sometimes I write about you, too. But I do not want you to read it. It is not for you. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They understood. They said sorry to Mom. They hugged her and said they loved her. + +Mom hugged them back. She said she loved them, too. She said she was proud of them for being honest. She said she was sorry for leaving the diary in their room. She said she would find a better place for it. + +Sara and Ben felt better. They learned a lesson. They agreed to respect Mom's diary. They agreed to play nicely together. They agreed to use their own words and pictures to make their own diaries. +Lily and her brother Tom liked to play in the park. They had a ball, a kite and a bike. They ran, jumped and laughed. They had fun. + +But then, the sky became dark and cloudy. Lily heard a loud noise. It was thunder. She saw a flash of light. It was lightning. She was scared. + +"Tom, we have to go home. It is going to rain. Mommy told us to be obedient and return before it rains." Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to play more. He said, "No, Lily. It is not raining yet. I want to fly my kite. It is fun. You are a baby." + +Lily was sad and angry. She said, "No, Tom. You are a bad brother. You are not obedient. Mommy will be worried and angry. I am going home. You can stay here alone." + +Lily took her ball and her bike and started to go home. She hoped Tom would follow her. But he did not. He stayed in the park with his kite. + +Soon, it started to rain. It rained hard and fast. Tom got wet and cold. His kite got stuck in a tree. He cried. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had been obedient. He wished he had returned home with her. + +He ran to his bike and tried to go home. But the rain made the road slippery and muddy. He fell and hurt his knee. He cried more. He was scared and sorry. + +Then, he saw a car. It was Mommy's car. She had come to look for him. She saw him and stopped. She got out and hugged him. She was happy and relieved to find him. But she was also angry and disappointed. + +"Tom, why did you not listen to Lily? Why did you not return home when I told you to? Why were you not obedient? You could have been hurt or lost. You made me worry a lot. You made Lily sad. You were a bad brother." Mommy said. + +Tom felt ashamed. He said, "I am sorry, Mommy. I am sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I was selfish. I was a bad brother. I will be obedient next time. I will return home when you tell me to. I love you, Mommy. I love you, Lily." + +Mommy and Lily forgave him. They loved him too. They got in the car and went home. They dried him and bandaged his knee. They gave him a hug and a kiss. They were a family. They were happy. +Mira and Ravi liked to play in the forest. They liked to find sticks and stones and leaves. One day, they found a big stick that looked like a staff. It was orange and had a shiny stone on top. + +"Wow, look at this!" Mira said. "It is like a magic staff. Maybe it can do spells." + +"Let me see!" Ravi said. He wanted to hold the staff too. He tried to take it from Mira, but she did not let go. + +"No, it is mine!" Mira said. "I found it first. You can find another one." + +They started to pull the staff and fight over it. They did not see the big bear that was coming out of the bushes. The bear was hungry and angry. It saw the children and roared. + +Mira and Ravi heard the roar and looked up. They saw the bear and got very scared. They forgot about the staff and ran away. The staff fell to the ground. + +The bear saw the staff and sniffed it. It did not smell like food. It did not like the shiny stone. It did not care about the staff. It walked away, looking for something else to eat. + +The staff was left alone in the forest. Maybe someone else would find it and play with it. Or maybe it would stay there forever. +Lily was a cheerful girl who liked to sign. She learned sign from her mom, who was deaf. Lily could talk and hear, but she also liked to use her hands to say things. She signed to her mom, her dad, her friends, and even her cat. + +One day, Lily fell down from her bike and hurt her arm. It was very sore and she cried. Her mom took her to the doctor, who was very kind. He looked at her arm and said she needed an x-ray. Lily did not know what an x-ray was, but she trusted the doctor. + +The doctor took Lily to a big machine that looked like a camera. He said the x-ray would take a picture of her bones. He gave her a special coat to wear and told her to stay still. Lily was a little scared, but she was brave. She signed to her mom, who was behind a glass window, that she loved her. + +The x-ray was very quick and did not hurt. The doctor showed Lily the picture of her bones on a screen. He pointed to a small crack in her arm and said she had a fracture. He said he would put a cast on her arm to help it heal. He asked Lily what color she wanted for her cast. Lily thought for a moment and then signed "pink". + +The doctor smiled and wrapped her arm in a pink cast. He said she did a great job and gave her a sticker. Lily was very happy and thanked the doctor. She signed to her mom that she was okay and showed her her cast. Her mom hugged her and said she was proud of her. Lily felt cheerful again and signed that she wanted to go home and show her cat her cast. +Lily likes to help her mom in the kitchen. She has a special job. She can mix the eggs and the flour and the sugar in a big bowl. She uses a spoon and stirs and stirs until the mix is smooth and yellow. + +"Good job, Lily!" her mom says. "You are a great helper. Now we can make some yummy cupcakes." + +Lily smiles and claps her hands. She loves cupcakes. She asks her mom, "Can I put some sprinkles on them?" + +"Of course, you can," her mom says. "Sprinkles make the cupcakes pretty and colorful. But first, we have to bake them in the oven. Be careful, it's very hot." + +Lily nods and watches her mom pour the mix into the paper cups. She counts them. One, two, three, four, five, six. Six cupcakes for Lily and her mom. She can't wait to eat them. She hopes they will be ready soon. She thinks they will be the best cupcakes ever. +Lily was sad. She had a bad dream. She saw a big, scary monster with sharp teeth and red eyes. It chased her and roared. She woke up and cried. + +She ran to her mom and dad's room. She knocked on the door. "Mom, Dad, I had a bad dream. Can I sleep with you?" she asked. + +Mom and Dad opened the door. They saw Lily's tears and hugged her. "Of course, sweetie. Come in. What was your dream about?" Mom asked. + +Lily told them about the monster. She shivered and sobbed. Dad picked her up and carried her to their bed. He gave her a kiss and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It was just a dream. There are no monsters here. We will protect you." + +Mom gave her a magazine. It had pictures of animals and flowers. She said, "Look, Lily. Here are some nice things to see. Do you like the bunny? How about the rose? They are not scary. They are pretty and friendly." + +Lily looked at the magazine. She saw the bunny and the rose. She smiled a little. She said, "Yes, I like them. They are pretty and friendly. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom and Dad cuddled her and said, "We love you, Lily. You are brave and smart. You can sleep with us tonight. Tomorrow, you will have a good day." + +Lily felt better. She felt comfort from Mom and Dad. She felt safe and warm. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She did not have any more bad dreams. +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Anna takes Lily everywhere. She hugs Lily, talks to Lily, and sleeps with Lily. + +One day, Anna and her mom go to the store. Anna brings Lily with her. She sees many things in the store. She sees toys, books, and candy. She wants to look at everything. She puts Lily on a shelf and runs to see the toys. + +But when Anna comes back, Lily is gone. Anna feels sad and scared. She looks for Lily, but she cannot find her. She asks her mom, but her mom does not know. She asks the store man, but he does not know. She cries and cries. + +Then, she hears a voice. It is Lily's voice. She follows the voice and sees a girl. The girl is holding Lily. She is talking to Lily. She says, "You are my new doll. I will buy you and take you home." + +Anna runs to the girl and says, "No, no, no! Lily is my doll. She is not for sale. Give her back to me!" + +The girl says, "No, no, no! Lily is my doll. She is very pretty. I will pay the store man and take her home." + +Anna and the girl start to pull Lily. Lily feels hurt and scared. She says, "Stop, stop, stop! You are hurting me. I want to go back to Anna. She is my friend. She loves me." + +The store man hears the noise and comes to see. He sees Anna and the girl fighting over Lily. He says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over this doll?" + +Anna says, "She is my doll. I brought her from home. She is not for sale. The girl took her from the shelf and wants to buy her." + +The girl says, "She is my doll. I found her on the shelf. She is for sale. I want to buy her." + +The store man looks at Lily. He sees a tag on her dress. The tag says, "Lily, Anna's doll. Do not sell. Do not take. She is safe with Anna." + +The store man says, "I see. This doll belongs to Anna. She is not for sale. She is not a toy. She is a friend. The girl must give her back to Anna." + +The girl feels sorry and ashamed. She says, "I am sorry. I did not know. She is very pretty. I wanted to have her. But I see she is not mine. She is yours. Here, take her back." + +Anna takes Lily and hugs her. She says, "Thank you. I am so happy. I love you, Lily. You are my best friend." + +Lily says, "I love you, Anna. You are my best friend. You saved me." + +The store man says, "I am glad you found your doll. She is very special. You must take good care of her. And you must not leave her on the shelf again. She might get lost or taken." + +Anna says, "I will. I will never leave her again. I will keep her close to me. She is safe with me." + +The girl says, "I am sorry again. I hope you forgive me. Can we be friends?" + +Anna says, "Yes, we can be friends. But you must not take things that are not yours. You must ask first. And you must be nice to dolls. They have feelings too." + +The girl says, "I will. I will be nice to dolls. And I will ask first. And I will be nice to you." + +Anna says, "Thank you. That is very good. Come, let's play together. We can share our dolls. And we can have fun." + +The girl says, "Yes, let's play together. We can share our dolls. And we can have fun." + +The store man smiles and says, "That is very nice. You are very good girls. You have learned a lesson today. And you have made a new friend. I am proud of you." + +Anna and the girl smile and say, "Thank you. You are very nice too. You have helped us today. And you have made us happy." + +The store man says, "You are welcome. You have made me happy too. Now, go and play. And have fun. And be careful. And be kind." + +Anna and the girl say, "We will. We will have fun. And be careful. And be kind." + +They take their dolls and go to play. They are happy. They are friends. They are safe. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite thing was to hide behind the curtain and pretend they were powerful heroes. They would take turns to save the world from bad guys and monsters. + +One day, they heard a loud noise outside. They ran to the window and saw a big truck with a crane. The truck was moving a huge tree that had fallen on the road. Tom and Lily were amazed by the truck and the tree. They wanted to see more. + +"Let's go outside and watch!" Tom said. + +"No, Mom said we have to stay in our room until she comes back," Lily said. + +"But it's so cool! Maybe we can help the truck driver!" Tom said. + +He opened the door and ran down the stairs. Lily followed him, afraid that he would get in trouble. + +They reached the front door and saw the truck driver waving at them. He smiled and said, "Hi, kids! Do you like my truck?" + +"Yes, it's awesome!" Tom said. "Can we see how it works?" + +"Sure, but be careful. It's very powerful and heavy," the truck driver said. + +He let them climb on the truck and showed them the buttons and levers that controlled the crane. Tom and Lily were thrilled. They felt like they were powerful heroes too. + +They didn't notice that the wind was blowing hard. The curtain in their room was flapping in the air. It got caught on a nail on the wall and ripped. The toys behind the curtain fell on the floor with a loud clatter. + +Mom came back and heard the noise. She ran to the room and saw the mess. She was angry and worried. She looked for Tom and Lily, but they were nowhere to be seen. + +She ran outside and saw them on the truck. She shouted, "Tom! Lily! What are you doing? Get down from there right now!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They had forgotten about Mom. They had forgotten about the curtain. They had forgotten about the rules. They got down from the truck and ran to Mom. They said they were sorry and hugged her. + +Mom was relieved and glad that they were safe. She said, "I'm glad you're okay, but you shouldn't have gone outside without me. You could have been hurt by the truck or the tree. You have to listen to me and stay in your room when I'm not here." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They said they wouldn't do it again. + +Mom took them back to their room and helped them clean up the toys and the curtain. She said, "You know, you don't need a truck or a tree to be powerful heroes. You can be powerful heroes with your imagination and your toys. You can be powerful heroes by being good and kind and brave." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They agreed. They thanked Mom and hugged her. They played behind the curtain again, but this time, they were careful not to rip it. They were happy and powerful heroes. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were different animals. Lily was a cat and Max was a dog. They chased each other around the grass and made funny noises. + +"Meow, meow, I'm a cat and I'm fast and smart," Lily said. + +"Woof, woof, I'm a dog and I'm strong and loyal," Max said. + +They had a lot of fun until they saw a big sweater on the clothesline. It was their mom's sweater and it was very pretty and soft. Lily wanted to wear it and pretend she was a princess. Max wanted to bite it and pretend he was a wolf. + +"Let me have the sweater, it's mine," Lily said. + +"No, it's mine, I saw it first," Max said. + +They both pulled the sweater and tried to take it from each other. They did not listen to their mom who told them to stop and share. They were very spoiled and selfish. They pulled so hard that the sweater ripped in half. They both fell to the ground and started to cry. + +Their mom came and saw what they had done. She was very angry and sad. She took the sweater and said, "Look what you did to my sweater. It was a gift from your grandma and you ruined it. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You are not playing anymore. You are going to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Lily and Max felt very sorry and guilty. They wished they had not fought over the sweater. They wished they had been nice and polite. They learned their lesson and said, "We're sorry, mom. We love you and grandma. We won't be spoiled and selfish again." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny. They wanted to touch it. + +"Look, a balloon!" Anna said. "Let's catch it!" + +They ran after the balloon. But it was too high. They could not reach it. They were frustrated. + +"Maybe we can soar like a bird," Ben said. He flapped his arms. But he did not fly. + +Anna had an idea. She saw a lollipop on the ground. It was green and sweet. She picked it up. + +"Maybe we can use this as a stick," she said. She held the lollipop up. But it was too short. + +They tried to jump. But they still could not touch the balloon. They were more frustrated. + +They heard a voice. It was a man. He was holding a string. The string was attached to the balloon. + +"Hello, kids," the man said. "Do you like my balloon?" + +"Yes, we do," Anna and Ben said. "Can we touch it?" + +"Sure, you can," the man said. He lowered the balloon. Anna and Ben touched it. It was soft and smooth. + +"Thank you, mister," Anna and Ben said. They smiled. + +"You're welcome, kids," the man said. He smiled too. "Do you want a lollipop?" + +"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. They took a lollipop each. They licked it. It was yummy. + +They forgot about the balloon. They were happy. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with many flowers. They wanted to pick some flowers for their mom. + +"Let's go up the hill and pick the prettiest flowers!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. The hill is very high and steep." Sue said. + +They ran up the hill, holding hands. They saw yellow, pink, and purple flowers. They picked some of each color and put them in their baskets. + +They were very happy and proud of their flowers. They looked at the sky and saw some white clouds. They looked like animals and shapes. + +"Look, Tom, that cloud looks like a rabbit!" Sue said, pointing. + +"And that one looks like a boat!" Tom said, pointing. + +They laughed and made up stories about the clouds. They did not see the dark cloud that was coming closer. It looked like a big monster. + +The dark cloud was full of rain and thunder. It was angry and wanted to ruin the twins' fun. It made a loud noise and threw water at them. + +"Ah, it's raining! It's raining!" Tom and Sue shouted. + +They dropped their baskets and ran down the hill. They slipped and fell on the wet grass. They got dirty and wet. + +They reached their house and ran inside. Their mom was waiting for them. She saw their sad faces and their dirty clothes. + +"What happened, my darlings?" she asked. + +"We wanted to pick flowers for you, but the rain came and spoiled everything." Tom said. + +"The rain was mean and scary. It chased us away." Sue said. + +Their mom hugged them and dried them with a towel. She smiled and said: + +"Don't worry, my loves. The rain can't hurt you. It's just water. And look, you still have some flowers in your baskets. They are beautiful. Thank you for picking them for me." + +She put the flowers in a vase and gave them a kiss. She said: + +"Sometimes, the sky is lazy and doesn't want to shine. But it always comes back. And when it does, you can go outside and play again. And maybe, you'll see a rainbow." + +Tom and Sue smiled and hugged their mom. They felt better. They looked out the window and hoped to see the sky again. +Tim and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. Tim had a big truck and Mia had a doll. Mia wanted to play with the truck, but Tim did not want to share. He said, "This is my truck. You have your doll. Go away!" + +Mia was sad and angry. She said, "No, I want the truck. It is more fun than the doll. Give it to me!" She tried to grab the truck from Tim, but he held it tight. They started to pull and push and shout. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tim and Mia fighting over the truck. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you! This is not how you play. You have to share and be nice. The truck is not yours, Tim. It is a gift from your aunt. She is a nice lady who gave you an expensive toy. You should be grateful and let Mia have a turn." + +Tim did not want to listen. He said, "No, mom. The truck is mine. I like it. Mia has her doll. She can play with that." He did not want to surrender the truck to Mia. + +Mom was very stern. She said, "Tim, if you do not share the truck, I will take it away and put it in the closet. You will not have it for the rest of the day. Is that what you want?" She looked at Tim with a serious face. + +Tim did not want to lose the truck. He knew mom was not joking. He looked at Mia and saw her sad eyes. He felt sorry for her. He said, "Okay, mom. I will share the truck. Mia can have a turn. I am sorry for being mean." He gave the truck to Mia and said, "Here, Mia. You can play with the truck. I will play with the doll." + +Mia smiled and said, "Thank you, Tim. You are a good brother. I will play with the doll later. You can have the truck back soon." She hugged Tim and took the truck. + +Mom was proud of Tim and Mia. She said, "That's better. I am glad you are sharing and being nice. You are both good children. I love you." She hugged them both and gave them a kiss. Then she left them to play with their toys. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and read books together. They also liked to learn new things. They were very intelligent. + +One day, they found a big clock in the attic. It was round and shiny and had many numbers and hands. They wondered what it was for. + +"Maybe it tells us when to eat and sleep," Ben said. + +"Maybe it tells us stories and jokes," Lily said. + +They decided to try it out. They took turns to squeeze the clock and listen to it. It made a ticking sound. + +"Tick, tock, tick, tock," Ben repeated. + +"It sounds like a heart," Lily said. + +They squeezed the clock harder and harder, hoping it would say something more. But it only ticked and tocked. + +Suddenly, the clock stopped. The hands stopped moving. The ticking sound stopped. Ben and Lily looked at each other in surprise. + +"Oh no, we broke it!" Ben said. + +"Maybe we squeezed it too much," Lily said. + +They felt sorry and scared. They did not want to get in trouble. They put the clock back in the attic and ran downstairs. + +They decided not to tell anyone about the clock. They hoped it would start working again. They also decided to be more careful with things they did not understand. They were very intelligent, but they still had a lot to learn. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat a sandwich. Mom said they could make one with bread, cheese and ham. + +"Can I cut the cheese?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but be careful with the knife," Mom said. + +Lily cut the cheese and put it on the bread. Ben put the ham on the cheese. They put another bread on top. They had a sandwich. + +"Let's cut it in half," Ben said. + +"OK, but be careful with the knife," Lily said. + +Ben cut the sandwich in half. He gave one half to Lily and took the other half. They bit into their sandwich. It was yummy. + +"Look, there is a fat bird outside," Lily said. She pointed to the window. + +Ben looked and saw a fat bird on the tree. It had a red chest and a black cap. It was singing. + +"Hello, bird," Ben said. "Do you want some sandwich?" + +He threw a small piece of bread to the bird. The bird flew down and ate the bread. It sang again. + +"Thank you, bird," Lily said. "You have a nice voice." + +They finished their sandwich and drank some juice. They were happy. Mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of them. They had completed their sandwich. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big bush with red berries. They want to eat some berries. + +"Look, Tom, berries!" Anna says. "They look yummy!" + +"Yes, they do!" Tom says. "Let's pick some!" + +They go to the bush and start to pick the berries. They put them in a basket. The basket gets heavy. + +"Wow, we have a lot of berries!" Tom says. "The basket is heavy!" + +"Can you carry it, Tom?" Anna asks. + +"I can try!" Tom says. He lifts the basket. He walks slowly. He feels the basket is very heavy. + +"Pass me some berries, Tom!" Anna says. "Then the basket will be lighter!" + +"OK, Anna!" Tom says. He passes some berries to Anna. Anna eats them. They are sweet and juicy. + +"Thank you, Tom!" Anna says. "The berries are good!" + +"You're welcome, Anna!" Tom says. He passes some more berries to Anna. They share the berries. They are happy. +Lila and Ben were having a picnic with their mom and dad in the park. They had sandwiches, apples, cookies, and jelly. Lila loved jelly. It was sweet and wobbly and fun to eat. + +"Can I have some more jelly, please?" Lila asked her mom. + +"Sure, honey, here you go," her mom said, handing her a small bowl of jelly. "But be careful, it's fragile. Don't drop it or it will break." + +Lila nodded and took the bowl. She walked slowly to the blanket where Ben was sitting. She wanted to share her jelly with him. But on the way, she saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry and had a long tail. It looked friendly, but it was also very curious. + +The dog saw Lila and her jelly and ran towards her. It wanted to sniff and lick and taste the jelly. Lila got scared and tried to run away, but she tripped on a stone and fell down. The bowl of jelly flew out of her hand and landed on the grass. It broke into pieces and the jelly spilled everywhere. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She also felt sad about her jelly. It was gone and she couldn't eat it or share it with Ben. + +"Come here, Lila, come here!" her mom and dad shouted. They ran to her and picked her up. They hugged her and kissed her and checked her knee. They put a band-aid on it and told her it would be okay. + +"I'm sorry, Lila, I'm sorry," the dog's owner said. He came to them and apologized. He said his dog was playful and didn't mean to scare her or ruin her jelly. He offered to buy her a new one. + +Lila sniffed and wiped her tears. She looked at the dog and saw that it was wagging its tail and looking sorry too. She decided to forgive it. She smiled and said, "It's okay, I like dogs. But next time, don't come near my jelly. It's fragile." +Lily was a very obedient dog. She always did what her owner, Tom, told her to do. She liked to play fetch, sit, and roll over. She also liked to cuddle with Tom on the couch and watch TV. + +One day, Tom brought home a new friend. It was a small, fluffy kitten. Tom said, "Lily, this is Max. He is our new pet. He will live with us and share our toys and food. Can you be nice to him and accept him as your friend?" + +Lily was not sure about Max. He looked very different from her. He had sharp claws and teeth, and he made loud noises. He also liked to chase and bite Lily's tail. Lily did not like that. She growled and barked at Max, and tried to hide from him. + +Tom was sad. He wanted Lily and Max to get along. He said, "Lily, please don't be mean to Max. He is just a baby. He does not know any better. He needs your love and protection. You are a good and old dog. You can teach him how to behave and have fun. Please give him a chance." + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sincere. She loved Tom and wanted to make him happy. She also remembered how she was once a new and scared puppy, and how Tom had welcomed her and cared for her. She decided to try to be more patient and friendly with Max. She wagged her tail and licked his nose. Max was surprised, but he purred and rubbed his head against Lily's fur. They started to play and chase each other around the house. + +Tom smiled and hugged them both. He said, "Good girl, Lily. Good boy, Max. I'm so proud of you. You are both my best friends." Lily and Max felt happy and accepted. They knew they had a good home and a good owner. They also knew they had each other. +Lily loved to sing. She sang all day, in the house, in the garden, in the car. She wanted to be an opera singer, like the ones she saw on TV. She had a big dress and a big hat that she wore when she sang. She felt perfect. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, we are going to see a real opera today. It is a special treat for your birthday. You can wear your dress and hat, and we will go to the big theater." + +Lily was so happy. She put on her dress and hat, and tied a ribbon around her neck. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She was ready to see the opera. + +They got in the car and drove to the theater. Lily sang along to the radio. She was so excited. She asked her mom, "What is the opera about, mom?" + +Her mom said, "It is a sad story, Lily. It is about a girl who loves a boy, but he does not love her back. She dies at the end." + +Lily did not understand. Why would someone die for love? Why would someone not love her back? She thought love was good and happy. She did not like sad stories. + +They arrived at the theater and found their seats. The lights went down and the music started. Lily saw the girl on the stage. She was beautiful. She sang like an angel. Lily wanted to be like her. + +But then she saw the boy. He was mean. He lied to the girl. He made her cry. He left her alone. Lily did not like him. She wanted him to go away. + +The girl sang louder and louder. She was in pain. She held a knife in her hand. She stabbed herself in the chest. She fell to the ground. She did not move. + +Lily screamed. She was scared. She did not like the opera. She wanted the girl to be alive. She wanted her to be happy. She wanted to go home. + +She tugged at her mom's arm. She said, "Mom, mom, let's go, let's go. I don't like the opera. It is bad. It is sad. I want to go home." + +Her mom looked at her. She was surprised. She said, "Lily, it is just a story. It is not real. The girl is fine. She is just pretending. It is art. It is beautiful. Don't you like it?" + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, mom, I don't like it. It is not beautiful. It is ugly. It is scary. I don't want to be an opera singer. I don't want to die. I want to live. I want to be happy. I want to go home." + +Her mom sighed. She said, "Okay, Lily, okay. We will go home. I'm sorry. I thought you would like it. I thought it would be a perfect birthday treat. I was wrong." + +She took off Lily's hat and dress. She untied the ribbon around her neck. She threw them in the trash. She said, "You don't need these anymore. You don't want to be an opera singer. You can be something else. Something happier. Something better." + +Lily cried. She felt bad. She felt sorry. She felt ashamed. She loved her mom. She loved her dress and hat. She loved her ribbon. She loved to sing. But she did not love the opera. She hated the opera. She hated the boy. She hated the girl. She hated herself. + +She said, "Mom, mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I love you, mom. I love you. Please don't be mad at me. Please don't throw away my things. Please don't hate me. Please love me. Please." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "Lily, Lily, I love you, I love you. I'm not mad at you. I don't hate you. I love you. You are my daughter. You are my everything. You are perfect." + +But Lily did not feel perfect. She felt broken. She felt lost. She felt alone. She did not know who she was. She did not know what she wanted. She did not know how to be happy. + +She wished she never saw the opera. She wished she never tied the ribbon. She wished she never sang. She wished she never was. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun and laughing. + +But then a big dog came and took their ball. The dog ran away with the ball in its mouth. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. + +"Hey, give us our ball!" Tom shouted at the dog. "That is our ball, not yours!" + +But the dog did not listen. It kept running and playing with the ball. Tom and Lily chased the dog, but they could not catch it. + +They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a bag of snacks. He was eating a cookie. He looked nice and friendly. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lily said. "Can you help us? That dog has our ball and we want it back." + +The man looked at them and smiled. He saw the dog and the ball. He put his cookie down and stood up. + +"Sure, I can help you," he said. "I know that dog. His name is Spot. He likes to play, but he also likes snacks. Watch this." + +The man took a snack from his bag and threw it to the dog. The dog saw the snack and dropped the ball. He ran to the snack and ate it. The man picked up the ball and gave it to Tom and Lily. + +"Here you go, kids," he said. "Your ball is back. I'm sorry Spot took it. He is a good dog, but sometimes he is naughty." + +Tom and Lily thanked the man. They were happy to have their ball again. They also liked the man. He was kind and helpful. + +"Would you like a snack too?" the man asked. "I have some cookies and some juice. They are lovely." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were hungry and thirsty. They liked cookies and juice. They sat on the bench with the man and shared his snacks. They talked and laughed. + +Spot came back and wagged his tail. He licked Tom and Lily's faces. He was sorry for taking their ball. He wanted to be their friend. + +Tom and Lily petted Spot. They were not angry at him anymore. They liked him too. He was a playful dog. + +They all had a lovely time in the park. +Tom and Mia are playing with a big red car. The car has four wheels and a handle. Tom likes to push the car and make it go fast. Mia likes to rock the car and make it go up and down. + +"Let me rock the car, Tom!" Mia says. She tries to grab the handle from Tom. + +"No, it is my turn!" Tom says. He holds the handle tight and pushes the car away from Mia. + +"Tom, you are selfish!" Mia says. She is angry and sad. She wants to rock the car too. + +"Selfish, selfish, selfish!" Tom says. He does not care about Mia. He only cares about the car. + +Mia runs to Mom and tells her what Tom did. Mom comes to the playroom and sees Tom and the car. + +"Tom, why are you selfish?" Mom asks. "You should share the car with Mia. She is your sister and she wants to play too." + +Tom looks at Mom and then at Mia. He sees that Mia is crying. He feels sorry for Mia. + +"I am sorry, Mia," Tom says. He gives the handle to Mia. "You can rock the car now. I will push it for you." + +Mia smiles and wipes her tears. She takes the handle and rocks the car. Tom pushes the car and makes it go fast. + +"Thank you, Tom," Mia says. "You are not selfish. You are nice." + +Tom and Mia hug and laugh. They play with the car together. Mom is happy and proud. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play at the park. They liked to slide on the big slide, swing on the swings, and run on the grass. One day, they saw a man with a sail on the lake. The sail was white and blue, and it moved with the wind. + +"Wow, look at that sail!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and fast. I wish I had a sail like that." + +"Me too," Tom said. "Maybe we can make one with paper and sticks. Do you want to try?" + +"Yes, let's do it!" Lily said. They ran to the bench where they had left their backpacks. They took out some paper, scissors, glue, and crayons. They cut the paper into a triangle and colored it with blue and white stripes. They glued it to a stick and tied a string to it. + +"Look, we made a sail!" Tom said. "Now we need a boat." + +They looked around and saw a big cardboard box near the trash can. It was empty and dirty, but they didn't care. They dragged it to the lake and put their sail on it. + +"Let's go sailing!" Lily said. They climbed into the box and held the stick with the sail. They pretended they were on a big boat, sailing across the water. + +But the wind was too strong, and the box was too weak. The box started to break and fill with water. The sail fell off and flew away. + +"Oh no, our sail!" Lily cried. "Our boat is sinking!" + +"Help, help!" Tom shouted. They jumped out of the box and swam to the shore. They were wet and cold and sad. + +They saw the man with the sail on the lake. He had seen them and came to help. He gave them a towel and a smile. + +"Are you okay, kids?" he asked. "That was a brave attempt, but a poor sail. Do you want to try mine?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other and nodded. They dried themselves and followed the man to his boat. He let them hold the sail and steer the boat. They felt the wind and the waves and the sun. They forgot about their broken box and their lost sail. They had fun and learned a lot. + +"Thank you, mister," Lily said. "You have a great sail. And you are very kind." + +"You're welcome, kids," the man said. "You have a lot of imagination and courage. And you are very smart." + +They smiled and hugged. They had made a new friend. And they had a new story to tell. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with blocks. They made towers and bridges and castles. They had fun. + +One day, they found a big box. It had many blocks inside. They were happy. They wanted to make a mighty tower. They lifted the blocks and put them on top of each other. They made a zigzag shape. It was tall and cool. + +"Look at our tower!" Tom said. "It is the best tower ever!" + +"Yes, it is!" Sam said. "Let's make it higher!" + +They lifted more blocks and added them to the tower. It was very high. They could not see the top. They were proud. + +But then, a big wind came. It blew hard. It shook the tower. The blocks fell down. They made a loud noise. They hit Tom and Sam. They hurt them. They cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. "Our tower is gone!" + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam said. "We are hurt!" + +They were sad and angry. They did not want to play with blocks anymore. They did not want to be friends anymore. They went away. They were alone. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. Anna has a purple crayon. She loves her purple crayon. She draws purple flowers and purple stars and purple cats. + +Ben wants to draw with the purple crayon too. He asks Anna, "Can I have the purple crayon, please?" Anna says, "No, it is mine. You have other crayons. Go away." Ben feels sad and angry. He tries to grab the purple crayon from Anna. Anna shouts, "No, no, no! Stop it!" They pull and tug and fight over the purple crayon. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Anna and Ben fighting over the purple crayon. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to share and be nice to each other." She takes the purple crayon from them and puts it on the table. She says, "You both need a time out. Go to your rooms and shut the door. Think about what you did and how you can say sorry." + +Anna and Ben go to their rooms and shut the door. They sit on their beds and feel bad. They don't like to fight. They don't like to make Mom angry. They don't like to be alone. They miss their friend. They think about how they can say sorry. + +After a while, Mom comes to their rooms and knocks on the door. She says, "Are you ready to talk?" Anna and Ben open the door and nod. They follow Mom to the living room. Mom says, "Do you know why you had a time out?" Anna and Ben say, "Yes, because we fought over the purple crayon. We were not sharing and not nice." Mom says, "That's right. And how do you feel about that?" Anna and Ben say, "We feel sorry. We feel sad. We don't want to fight. We want to be friends." Mom says, "That's good. And what can you do to make it better?" Anna and Ben say, "We can say sorry to each other. We can hug. We can share the purple crayon and draw together." Mom says, "That's very good. I'm proud of you. I love you both. Now go and play nicely." She gives them the purple crayon and a big smile. + +Anna and Ben say sorry to each other and hug. They say, "We are sorry. We are friends. We love you." They take the purple crayon and go to the table. They draw purple flowers and purple stars and purple cats. They draw a big heart and write their names in it. They are happy. They share and they are nice. They love their purple crayon. They love each other. They love Mom. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big, ripe watermelon on the table. They wanted to eat it, but they did not know how to split it. + +"Let's ask Mom," Lily said. + +"No, let's ask Dad," Ben said. + +They ran to the house and looked for their parents. Mom was in the kitchen, making a cake. Dad was in the garage, fixing a bike. + +"Mom, can you split the watermelon for us?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry, dear, I'm busy right now. Why don't you ask Dad?" Mom said. + +"OK, Mom," Lily said. + +They ran to the garage and looked for Dad. + +"Dad, can you split the watermelon for us?" Ben asked. + +"Sorry, son, I'm busy right now. Why don't you ask Mom?" Dad said. + +"OK, Dad," Ben said. + +They ran back to the garden and looked at the watermelon. They were hungry and sad. + +"Who can split the watermelon for us?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe we can do it ourselves," Ben said. + +He picked up a big stick and hit the watermelon with it. The watermelon cracked and juice splashed everywhere. Lily and Ben got wet and sticky. + +"Oops, I think I split it too hard," Ben said. + +They looked at the watermelon and saw that it was still whole, but with a big crack. + +"Maybe we can pull it apart," Lily said. + +She grabbed one side of the watermelon and Ben grabbed the other. They pulled and pulled, but the watermelon did not budge. + +"Ouch, this is hard," Lily said. + +They looked at the watermelon and saw that it was still whole, but with a bigger crack. + +"Maybe we can ask someone else," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a big, black crow sitting on a branch. The crow had a shiny, sharp beak. + +"Hello, crow, can you help us?" Lily asked. + +The crow looked at them and at the watermelon. He saw the juice and the seeds and licked his beak. + +"Sure, I can help you," the crow said. + +He flew down and pecked at the watermelon. He made a hole and ate some of the flesh. He pecked again and again, until the watermelon was split in two. + +"Here you go, kids, enjoy your watermelon," the crow said. + +He flew away with a full belly and a happy caw. + +Lily and Ben looked at the watermelon and saw that it was split in two, but with a lot of holes and missing pieces. + +"Thank you, crow, but you ate most of it," Lily said. + +"Yes, you were not very nice," Ben said. + +They picked up the watermelon halves and tried to eat them, but they were not very tasty. + +They wished they had waited for Mom or Dad to split the watermelon for them. + +They learned that the crow was not very wise, and neither were they. +Lily and Ben are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make shapes. Lily makes a hat. Ben makes a plane. They are happy. + +But then, Tom comes. Tom is bad. He takes Ben's plane and tears it. He laughs. Ben is sad. He cries. + +"Stop, Tom! That is not nice!" Lily says. She is angry. She wants to help Ben. + +Tom does not listen. He takes Lily's hat and throws it. He sees a screw on the floor. He picks it up and runs to the door. + +"Look what I have!" Tom says. He wants to put the screw in the door. He thinks it is funny. + +But Lily and Ben are faster. They run after Tom and catch him. They take the screw from him. They tell him to go away. + +"Tom, you are bad. You cannot play with us. You hurt our paper. You hurt the door. Go away!" Lily and Ben say. + +Tom is scared. He drops the screw and runs away. He is sorry. + +Lily and Ben hug. They are friends. They find new paper and fold it. They make new shapes. They are happy. +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. + +One day, they saw a new gate in the park. It was big and shiny and had a sign on it. Tim wanted to go and see what was behind the gate. He said, "Let's go and look, Lily. Maybe there is something cool there." + +But Lily was scared. She said, "No, Tim. We can't go there. The sign says 'Keep Out'. And it is dark behind the gate. Maybe there is something bad there." + +Tim and Lily started to quarrel. Tim said, "You are a chicken, Lily. You are afraid of everything. I am going to see what is behind the gate. You can stay here and be boring." + +Lily said, "You are a fool, Tim. You don't listen to the rules. You are going to get in trouble. I am going to tell Mom and Dad." + +Tim and Lily were very angry at each other. They stopped playing and went to their homes. They did not say goodbye or sorry. + +That night, Tim and Lily felt sad. They missed their best friend. They wished they had not quarreled. They wondered if the other one was still mad. + +The next day, Tim and Lily saw each other in the park. They were shy and quiet. They did not know what to say. + +Then, they saw the gate again. It was still big and shiny and had a sign on it. But this time, they saw something else. There was a hole in the fence next to the gate. And through the hole, they saw a beautiful garden. There were flowers and trees and birds and butterflies. It looked like a fairy tale. + +Tim and Lily looked at each other. They smiled and said, "Wow!" + +They forgot their quarrel. They ran to the hole and crawled through it. They entered the garden and explored it together. They had a lot of fun and laughed and hugged. + +They were best friends again. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play at school. They liked to draw on the blackboard with colorful chalks. They made pictures of animals, flowers, and stars. They were happy and proud of their drawings. + +One day, it was Lily's birthday. She brought a big cake and some balloons to share with her classmates. She wanted to celebrate with them. She put the cake and the balloons on a table near the blackboard. She said, "Look, I have a cake and balloons for my birthday! Let's eat and have fun!" + +Tom was happy for Lily, but he also felt a little jealous. He wished he had a cake and balloons too. He thought, "Why does Lily have everything? I want to have something special too." He looked at the blackboard and saw Lily's drawing of a butterfly. He had an idea. He took a chalk and drew a big X over the butterfly. He thought, "Now Lily's drawing is ruined. She will be sad and I will be happy." + +But Lily saw what Tom did. She was very angry and sad. She ran to the blackboard and tried to erase the X. But the chalk was fragile and broke in her hand. She cried, "Tom, why did you do that? You are a bad friend! You spoiled my drawing and my birthday!" + +Tom felt sorry for what he did. He saw that Lily was really hurt. He realized that he was wrong. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was jealous of you. I wanted to have a cake and balloons too. But I shouldn't have ruined your drawing. That was mean and selfish. Please forgive me." + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw that he was sincere. She said, "Tom, I forgive you. I understand that you felt jealous. But you don't have to be. You are my friend and I want to share my cake and balloons with you. You can have something special too. Come, let's celebrate together." + +Tom and Lily hugged and made up. They ate the cake and played with the balloons. They also fixed the drawing of the butterfly. They learned that being jealous is not good. They learned that being kind and generous is better. They learned that friendship is more important than things. They were happy and grateful. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with puzzles. One day, they find a big puzzle with a zebra on it. The zebra has black and white stripes and a long tail. + +Lila and Ben start to put the puzzle together. They look for the pieces that match. They find the zebra's head, legs, body and tail.

They see the zebra on the puzzle. It looks nice and soft. + +They want to touch the zebra. They wish it was real. They pretend it is their friend. They give it a name. They call it Zee. They hug the puzzle and say hello to Zee. They imagine Zee is hugging them back. They feel warm and cozy. They love Zee. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they also like to make a mess. They throw their clothes on the floor. They draw on the walls. They hide their mom's things. + +One day, mom is very busy. She has to work on her computer. She has many files. She tells Tom and Lily to be good and not to bother her. She gives them some cookies and milk. She says she will be back soon. + +Tom and Lily eat their cookies and drink their milk. They are still hungry. They look for more food. They see mom's files on the table. They think they are papers. They think they can eat them. They take some files and bite them. They are hard and taste bad. They spit them out. + +Mom hears a noise. She comes to the table. She sees Tom and Lily with her files. She sees the files are torn and wet. She is very angry. She says, "What are you doing? These are not papers. These are files. They are important. You cannot eat them. You are very naughty. Go to your room now!" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We were hungry. We wanted more food." Mom says, "You should have asked me. You should not touch my things. You should not make a mess. You should listen to me. Now go to your room and think about what you did." + +Tom and Lily go to their room. They are sad. They hug each other. They say, "We will be good next time. We will not eat files. We will not make mom angry." They hope mom will forgive them. They hope mom will love them. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they found a new box of cake mix on the shelf. They wanted to bake a cake for their mom, who was in the garden. + +They opened the box and poured the mix into a big bowl. They added some water and eggs, and stirred with a spoon. They did not see the small bottle of poison that was next to the box. It looked like vanilla, and they thought it would make the cake taste good. They poured some poison into the bowl, too. + +They put the bowl in the oven and turned it on. They waited for the cake to bake. They smelled something bad, and saw smoke coming out of the oven. They ran to the door and shouted for their mom. + +"Mom, mom, help! The cake is burning!" + +Mom heard them and came running. She saw the smoke and the poison bottle on the counter. She turned off the oven and opened the door. She saw a black and green cake that smelled awful. She was very angry and scared. + +"Lily and Ben, what have you done? This is poison, not vanilla! You could have hurt yourselves and me! You are not allowed to bake without me! Go to your room, now!" + +Lily and Ben felt very sorry and sad. They did not mean to make a bad cake. They wanted to make a nice cake for their mom. They cried and hugged each other. They said they were sorry to their mom, and hoped she would forgive them. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a big doll. Tom has a small car. One day, they want to try each other's toys. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Tom asks Lily. + +"OK, but you have to be gentle.

I want to make her happy," Tom says. + +"That's very nice of you, Tom. But where is Lily?" Lily's mom asks. + +"She is in her room. She is angry with me. She doesn't want to talk to me," Tom says. + +Lily's mom smiles. She knows that Lily and Tom are good friends. She knows that they will make up soon. + +"Come in, Tom. I will help you fix the doll. Then you can give it back to Lily. Maybe she will lend you her car again," Lily's mom says. + +Tom nods. He feels hopeful. He goes inside with Lily's mom. He sees Lily's room. The door is wide open.

They were the best friends in the world. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were kings and queens of a big palace. They used sticks and stones and leaves to make their palace. They wanted to make it very big and beautiful. + +"Let's measure our palace," said Anna. "We need to know how big it is." + +"Okay," said Ben. "How do we measure it?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She saw a long rope on the ground. She picked it up and said, "We can use this rope. We can put it along the walls of our palace and see how many steps it takes." + +They started to measure their palace with the rope. They walked along the walls and counted their steps. They were having fun. + +But then they heard a loud bark. It was Max, the dog. He saw the rope and thought it was a toy. He ran towards Anna and Ben and grabbed the rope with his teeth.

She sees the knife, the plate, and the children. She is angry. She is worried. + +She says: "What have you done? You could have hurt yourselves. You could have cut yourselves. The knife is not for playing. The knife is for cutting food. You are not allowed to touch the knife. You are too little. You have to be careful. You have to listen to me. And to Anna.

Lily said, "No, this is my castle. You can't play with it. Go away." Max was angry. He said, "I will play with your castle. I will break it." He pushed the wall and the gate. He knocked down the tower and the flag. He grabbed the doll and ran away. Lily was sad. She cried, "You broke my castle. You are mean. Give me back my doll." + +Max ran to the bathroom. He said, "I will hide in the bathroom. Lily can't find me here." He locked the door. He looked at the doll. He said, "This is my doll now. It is pretty." He put the doll in the sink.

The water went down the drain. The doll went down the drain too. Max was shocked. He said, "Oh no, the doll is gone. It went down the drain. I can't get it back." He tried to reach the drain. He could not. He cried, "Help, help, I lost the doll. It is in the drain." + +Lily heard Max cry. She ran to the bathroom. She said, "What is wrong? Why are you crying?" She saw the water and the sink. She said, "Where is my doll? What did you do?" Max said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I took your doll. I wanted to play with it. I gave it a bath.

You are not nice. I don't like you." She opened the door and left. Max was alone. He was sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, doll. I wish I could get you back." He wished he did not break Lily's castle. He wished he did not take Lily's doll. He wished he did not lose it in the drain. He wished he was nice to Lily. He wished Lily liked him. He wished he could design something with Lily. He wished he could play with Lily. He wished he could be Lily's friend. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister.

He was very proud of his boat and liked to show it to his friends. + +One day, he went to the pond with his mom. He saw another boy sailing a boat too. But his boat was different. It was shiny and metal and had a motor. It made a loud noise and went very fast. Tom felt envious of the boy's boat. He wanted to have a boat like that too. + +He went to the boy and said, "Hi, I'm Tom. Can I see your boat?" + +The boy looked at Tom and his boat and said, "No, you can't. This is my boat. It's better than yours. Yours is ugly and slow. Go away." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He said, "No, it's not. My boat is beautiful and fun. You are mean and rude. Go away yourself." + +The boy said, "No, you go away. This is my pond. I can sail here. You can't." + +They started to argue and shout. Their moms heard them and came to see what was wrong. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Tom's mom asked. + +"Mom, he has a boat that I want. But he won't let me see it. He says my boat is ugly and slow. He says this is his pond. He is mean and rude." Tom said. + +"Is that true?" Tom's mom asked the boy's mom. + +The boy's mom said, "I'm sorry. He is not usually like this. He got this boat as a gift from his dad. His dad works in an office and is very busy. He doesn't have much time to play with him. He wanted to make him happy with this boat. But maybe he spoiled him too much." + +Tom's mom said, "I understand. My husband works in an office too. But he likes to make things with Tom. He made this boat with him from a cardboard box and some cloth. They had a lot of fun together. Maybe your son would like to try it too." + +The boy's mom said, "That's very kind of you. Maybe he would. Do you want to try Tom's boat?" She asked her son. + +The boy looked at Tom's boat and said, "Maybe. It looks nice. Can I?" + +Tom said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be nice and share. And you have to let me see your boat too." + +The boy said, "OK. I'm sorry I was mean and rude. Can we be friends?" + +Tom said, "Yes, we can. Let's sail our boats together." + +They smiled and swapped their boats. They sailed them in the pond and had fun. Their moms were happy to see them get along. They learned that it is better to share and be kind than to be envious and rude. +Jill loves her pony, Spot. Spot is brown and white and has a long tail. Jill likes to brush Spot's hair and feed him carrots. Spot likes to run and jump with Jill. + +One day, Jill and Spot go to the park. They see many flowers and trees and birds. Jill and Spot are happy. They play with a ball and a rope. Jill throws the ball and Spot runs to catch it. Spot pulls the rope and Jill holds on. + +But then, Spot starts to sneeze. He sneezes loud and hard. He sneezes so much that he drops the ball and the rope. Jill is worried. She runs to Spot and hugs him. + +"Spot, are you okay?" Jill asks. "Why are you sneezing?" + +Spot shakes his head. He does not know. He sneezes again. Jill looks around. She sees a big bee. The bee is flying near Spot's nose. The bee is making Spot sneeze. + +"Go away, bee!" Jill says. "You are making Spot sneeze. You are not nice." + +The bee does not listen. It buzzes and flies closer to Spot. Spot sneezes more and more. Jill is angry. She picks up the ball and throws it at the bee. The ball hits the bee and makes it fall. The bee is gone. + +Spot stops sneezing. He feels better. He nuzzles Jill and thanks her. Jill smiles and pets him. She is glad that Spot is okay. + +"Jill, you are great!" Spot says. "You are my best friend." + +Jill and Spot hug. They are happy. They go back to playing with the ball and the rope. They have fun in the park. They love each other. +Tom is a fisherman. He likes to catch fish in the lake. He has a boat and a net and a rod. He knows how to find the best fish. + +One day, he takes his son Sam with him. Sam is three years old. He wants to learn how to fish like his dad. Tom is happy to teach him. + +"Look, Sam, this is how you throw the net. You swing it like this and let it go. Then you wait for the fish to swim into it. Do you want to try?" Tom says. + +Sam nods. He takes the net from his dad. He tries to swing it like Tom, but it is too heavy for him. He drops it on the floor of the boat. He feels sad. + +"It's okay, Sam. The net is big and heavy. You are small and fragile. You need to practice more. Here, let me help you." Tom says. He picks up the net and holds it with Sam. Together, they swing it and throw it into the water. + +They wait for a while. Then they see the net moving. They pull it back to the boat. There are many fish in the net. Sam is excited. He claps his hands. + +"Wow, dad, we caught so many fish! You are a great fisherman. And you are a great teacher. Thank you for teaching me how to fish." Sam says. + +Tom smiles. He hugs his son. He is proud of him. + +"You are welcome, Sam. You are a smart and brave boy. And you are a good fisherman too. I love you, son." Tom says. +Sara was a famous singer. She sang very well and many people liked her songs. She had a lot of money and nice things. But she was not happy. She always wanted more and more. She did not care about other people or animals or plants. + +One day, she had a big show in a park. She wore a shiny dress and a necklace with many jewels. She wanted to look very pretty and rich. But when she went on the stage, it started to rain. The rain was heavy and cold. It made her dress wet and dirty. It made her necklace break and fall. It made her hair messy and her makeup run. She tried to sing, but the rain was too loud. She could not hear herself or the music. The people who came to see her were unhappy too. They got wet and cold. They could not hear her sing. They booed and left. + +Sara felt very sad and angry. She blamed the rain for ruining her show. She blamed the people for not liking her. She blamed the necklace for breaking. She did not blame herself for being greedy and selfish. She did not say sorry or thank you to anyone. She just cried and cried. + +But the rain did not stop. It kept raining and raining. It rained for many days and nights. It filled the park with water. It made the flowers and trees grow. It made the birds and bugs happy. It made the air fresh and clean. It made a rainbow in the sky. + +Sara saw the rainbow from her window. She wondered why the rain was so beautiful and kind. She wondered why she was so ugly and mean. She felt sorry for herself and for the people and the things she hurt. She wished she could be different. She wished she could be happy. + +She decided to change. She decided to be nice and generous. She decided to care about other people and animals and plants. She decided to sing from her heart and not for money. She decided to wear simple clothes and no jewels. She decided to smile and say sorry and thank you. + +The next day, the rain stopped. The sun came out. Sara went to the park. She saw the flowers and trees and birds and bugs. She saw the people who came to see her. She sang a song for them. A song about the rain and the rainbow. A song about being sorry and thankful. A song about being happy. + +The people liked her song. They clapped and cheered. They gave her hugs and flowers. They said she was a good singer and a good person. Sara felt happy. She thanked the rain for teaching her a lesson. She thanked the people for giving her a chance. She thanked the necklace for showing her what mattered. She thanked herself for changing. + +The moral of the story is: Be happy with what you have and share it with others. Don't be greedy and selfish. Care about the world around you. Learn from your mistakes and grow. Happiness comes from within, not from without. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys: dolls, cars, blocks, books, and more. They like to make stories with their toys and have fun. But they do not like to clean up their toys when they are done. + +Mom comes in and sees the living room. She is not happy. She sees toys everywhere: on the floor, on the couch, on the table, even on the lamp. She says to Sara and Ben: "Look at this messy living room! You need to clean up your toys right now!" + +Sara and Ben do not want to clean up. They say: "No, Mom, we are still playing! We do not want to stop!" They demand to keep playing with their toys. They do not listen to Mom. + +Mom is very angry. She says: "If you do not clean up your toys, you will not have any toys! I will take them all away and put them in a box. You will not see them again until you learn to clean up!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not want to lose their toys. They love their toys. They say: "Sorry, Mom, we will clean up. Please do not take our toys away!" They start to pick up their toys and put them in their baskets. They say: "We will be good. We will clean up our home." + +Mom is glad. She says: "Thank you, Sara and Ben, for cleaning up your toys. I am proud of you. You are good children. You can keep your toys. But next time, please clean up when I ask you. OK?" + +Sara and Ben say: "OK, Mom, we will. We love you. We love our home." They hug Mom and give her a kiss. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig holes in the sand and pretend they were explorers. They found a big stick and used it to make a deeper hole. + +"Look, Lily, I see something shiny!" Ben said, pointing to the bottom of the hole. + +"What is it, Ben?" Lily asked, leaning over to see. + +Ben reached into the hole and pulled out a metal bottle. It had a lid and a straw. He opened the lid and saw a dark liquid inside. + +"Maybe it's juice!" he said, feeling thirsty. + +He put the straw in his mouth and tried to drink. But the liquid was not juice. It was thick and bitter and made him cough. + +"Yuck!" he spat, dropping the bottle. "This is not juice, this is yucky!" + +Lily looked at the bottle and saw a label. It had some words and a picture of a car. + +"Ben, this is not juice, this is oil!" she said, reading the label. "Oil is for cars, not for people. It comes from underground, where it is very hot and dirty." + +"Oil?" Ben said, feeling sick. "Why would someone put oil in a bottle?" + +"I don't know, Ben, maybe they forgot it here. Or maybe they wanted to trick us. We should throw it away and tell someone." Lily said, picking up the bottle. + +"OK, Lily, let's do that. And let's find some water to drink. I don't like oil." Ben said, wiping his mouth. + +They ran to the fountain and drank some water. Then they threw the bottle in the trash and told a grown-up what they found. The grown-up thanked them and said they were very brave and smart. Ben and Lily felt better and went back to play. They decided to dig another hole, but this time they checked what they found before they drank it. +Ben and Lily were friends who lived next to each other. They liked to play in the big park behind their houses. The park had a lot of grass, trees, flowers and birds. Sometimes they saw other children there, but they did not talk to them much. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was wearing a shiny suit and a hat. He had a big car and a driver who waited for him. He looked very wealthy. He walked on the grass and picked some flowers. He did not smile or say hello. + +Ben and Lily were curious about him. They walked over to him and said, "Hi, we are Ben and Lily. What is your name?" + +The boy looked at them and said, "My name is Max. I am very wealthy. I have a lot of money and toys and clothes. You are not wealthy. You have nothing. Go away." + +Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like Max. They said, "You are not nice. You are mean and rude. We have something you do not have. We have each other. We are friends. Friends are better than money and toys and clothes. You are lonely and unhappy. We are not. Goodbye." + +They walked away from Max and went to play on the swings. They laughed and had fun. They did not care about Max or his wealth. They were happy with what they had. They were happy with their friendship. +Tim and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a new flashlight in the garage. They wanted to see how it worked, so they turned it on and off. It made a bright light that they could point at things. + +"Can we take it to the park?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, let's go!" Tim said. + +They ran to the park with the flashlight. It was getting dark, but they did not care. They shone the flashlight on the trees, the swings, and the slide. They had fun making shadows and noises. + +"Look, there's a tunnel!" Tim said, pointing to a big pipe under a bridge. + +"Let's go inside!" Mia said. + +They crawled into the tunnel with the flashlight. It was dark and dirty and smelled bad. They heard noises that scared them. + +"What's that?" Mia questioned, shining the flashlight on a rat. + +"Run!" Tim shouted. + +They tried to run out of the tunnel, but they dropped the flashlight. It broke and went out. They could not see anything. They cried and screamed for help, but no one heard them. They were stuck in the tunnel with the rats. They wished they had never taken the flashlight. +Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and houses and cars. Lily has a big box of blocks. Tom has a small bag of blocks. + +"Can I have some of your blocks, Lily?" Tom asks. "I want to make a big tower." + +"OK, Tom. You can have some of my blocks. But you have to share with me too," Lily says. She gives Tom some blocks from her box. + +Tom and Lily start to add blocks to their tower. They make it taller and taller. They are having fun. + +But then, Tom sees a boot on the floor. It is a normal boot. It is brown and has laces. Tom likes the boot. He thinks it will make his tower better. + +"Look, Lily! A boot! I want to put it on my tower!" Tom says. He grabs the boot and puts it on top of his tower. + +But the boot is too heavy. It makes the tower fall down. All the blocks crash to the floor. Tom and Lily are sad. + +"Tom, why did you do that? You ruined our tower!" Lily says. She is angry. She wants her blocks back. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I thought the boot was cool. I didn't know it would make the tower fall," Tom says. He is sorry. He wants to play with Lily again. + +Lily and Tom look at the mess. They see the boot and the blocks. They have an idea. + +"Maybe we can make something else with the boot and the blocks," Lily says. "Maybe we can make a car or a house or a boat." + +"That sounds fun, Lily. Let's try it," Tom says. He smiles. He gives Lily some blocks. + +Lily and Tom start to make something new with the boot and the blocks. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily liked to play with her trumpet. She got it from her grandpa, who played it in a band. Lily wanted to be like grandpa and make loud and happy sounds with her trumpet. + +One day, Lily saw a big hole in her trumpet. She was sad and angry. How did it happen? She asked her mom, who said that her brother Ben had played with it and broke it. Lily was very mad at Ben. She wanted to fill the hole with something and make her trumpet work again. + +She looked around the house and found some things to fill the hole. She tried a crayon, a button, a sock, and a banana. But none of them worked. They only made her trumpet look funny and sound worse. Lily was frustrated and cried. + +Ben heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. He saw her broken trumpet and felt sorry. He said he was sorry for breaking it and he wanted to help her fix it. He said he had some tape and glue in his room. He asked Lily if she wanted to try them. + +Lily was still mad, but she also wanted to play with her trumpet again. She nodded and followed Ben to his room. They worked together to tape and glue the hole. They waited for it to dry and then tried to play the trumpet. It sounded better, but not perfect. Lily smiled and thanked Ben. Ben smiled and hugged Lily. They learned to share and forgive. +Tom and Anna liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They liked to push it around and make loud noises. Sometimes they put other things in the truck, like books, balls, or dolls. + +One day, their dad came home with a big stack of newspapers. He said he needed them for his work. He put them on the table and told Tom and Anna not to touch them. He said they were very heavy and could hurt them. Tom and Anna nodded, but they were curious. They wondered what was in the newspapers. + +When their dad went to the kitchen, Tom and Anna sneaked to the table. They saw the newspapers had many pictures and words. They could not read the words, but they liked the pictures. They saw animals, cars, people, and places. They wanted to see more. + +Tom had an idea. He said to Anna, "Let's put some newspapers in the truck. Then we can look at them in our room." Anna agreed. They took some newspapers from the bottom of the stack and put them in the truck. They did not notice that the stack was getting smaller and smaller. + +They pushed the truck to their room. They were very happy. They spread the newspapers on the floor and looked at them. They pointed at the pictures and made up stories. They had a lot of fun. + +But their dad was not happy. He came to the living room and saw the table was empty. He looked around and saw the newspapers were gone. He followed the trail of newspapers to Tom and Anna's room. He opened the door and saw them playing with the newspapers. He was very angry. + +He said to Tom and Anna, "What have you done? You took my newspapers! You know they are very heavy and could hurt you. You know they are for my work and not for playing. You are very naughty. You have to put them back right now." + +Tom and Anna were very scared. They did not mean to make their dad angry. They did not know the newspapers were important. They said they were sorry and started to put the newspapers back in the truck. But the truck was too heavy. They could not lift it. They needed their dad's help. + +Their dad saw that they were sorry and that they needed help. He calmed down and said, "It's okay. I know you were curious and wanted to have fun. But you have to ask me before you take something that is not yours. And you have to be careful with heavy things. They can hurt you or break something. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They said they understood and they would not do it again. Their dad smiled and said, "That's good. Now let's put the newspapers back together. And maybe later we can look at some of them and I can tell you what they are about. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Anna smiled. They said that sounded good. They helped their dad put the newspapers back on the table. They learned a lesson and they also learned something new. They hugged their dad and said they loved him. He hugged them back and said he loved them too. +Mira and Ravi liked to play in the valley near their home. The valley had many flowers, trees and animals. They liked to look for rare things, like shiny stones, colorful feathers and funny bugs. + +One day, they found a big hole in the ground. They wondered what was inside. They decided to peek in and see. + +"Be careful, Mira," Ravi said. "Maybe there is something scary in there." + +"Don't worry, Ravi," Mira said. "I just want to look. Maybe there is something rare in there." + +Mira leaned over the hole and looked inside. She saw something dark and furry. It had big ears, a long nose and sharp teeth. It was a badger. The badger was sleeping in the hole. + +Mira gasped and jumped back. She disturbed the badger. The badger woke up and growled. It was angry that someone disturbed its nap. + +"Run, Ravi, run!" Mira shouted. "There is a badger in the hole!" + +Mira and Ravi ran away from the hole. They ran back to their home. They told their mom what they saw. + +"Wow, you saw a badger?" their mom said. "That is very rare. Badgers are shy and do not like to be disturbed. You should not go near their holes. They can bite and scratch." + +Mira and Ravi nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play somewhere else in the valley. They did not want to disturb the badger again. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a shiny gem on the grass. It was red and sparkly. They both wanted it. + +"Mine!" Lila said, and grabbed the gem. + +"No, mine!" Ben said, and pulled the gem. + +They tugged and tugged, but the gem did not break. It started to glow and make a strange sound. + +"Uh-oh," Lila said, feeling scared. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said, feeling scared too. + +Suddenly, the gem flashed and they felt a tickle. They let go of the gem and looked at each other. They were very small. The gem had shrunk them. + +"Help!" Lila said, in a tiny voice. + +"Help!" Ben said, in a tiny voice too. + +They saw a big ant crawling towards them. It was bigger than them. It looked hungry and eager. It had big jaws and long legs. + +"Run!" Lila said, and ran away. + +"Run!" Ben said, and ran after her. + +They ran and ran, but the ant was faster. It was about to catch them, when they heard a loud bark. It was Spot, their dog. He had seen the ant and the gem. He barked and chased the ant away. He sniffed the gem and licked Lila and Ben. They felt another tickle. They grew back to their normal size. + +"Phew!" Lila said, hugging Spot. + +"Phew!" Ben said, hugging Spot too. + +They looked at the gem. It was still shiny, but it did not glow or make a sound. They decided to share it. They put it in a box and buried it in the garden. They did not want to shrink again. They played with Spot and forgot about the gem. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. They had a big cardboard box that they used as a castle. + +"Look, Ben, a dragon is coming!" Anna said, pointing to the sky. She saw a big green shape with wings and a long tail. + +"Where?" Ben asked, looking up. He saw the dragon too. He was not scared. He grabbed a stick and said, "Don't worry, Anna, I will protect you. I am a brave knight." + +The dragon flew closer and closer. It landed on the grass near the castle. It was not a real dragon. It was a balloon. Someone had painted it to look like a dragon. It had a string attached to its neck. + +"Hello, children," a voice said. It was Mr. Lee, the balloon seller. He had a big smile and a hat with flowers. He was very attractive. He had many balloons of different colors and shapes. He had arrived to the garden to sell his balloons. + +"Hello, Mr. Lee," Anna and Ben said. They were happy to see him. They liked his balloons. + +"Would you like a balloon?" Mr. Lee asked. "I have a dragon, a star, a heart, and many more." + +"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. They each chose a balloon. Anna picked the dragon. She thought it was pretty. Ben picked the star. He thought it was shiny. + +"Thank you, Mr. Lee," Anna and Ben said. They gave him some coins. + +"You're welcome, children," Mr. Lee said. He waved goodbye and walked away with his balloons. + +Anna and Ben played with their balloons. They pretended they were flying with the dragon and the star. They had a lot of fun. They were very happy. +Anna likes to play with her duck in the bath. Her duck is gray and soft. She makes bubbles with the soap and washes her duck. She says, "Duck, you are so dirty. I will make you clean and shiny." + +But her duck does not like the soap. He quacks and tries to swim away. He does not want to be washed. He likes to be gray and dirty. He says, "Anna, no! I do not like soap. It hurts my eyes and feathers. Please stop!" + +Anna is sad. She does not want to hurt her duck. She loves her duck. She says, "I am sorry, duck. I only want to help you. You are my friend. Do you not like to play with me?" + +Her duck sees that Anna is sad. He loves Anna too. He says, "I like to play with you, Anna. You are my friend too. But I do not like soap. Can we play something else?" + +Anna thinks. She has an idea. She says, "How about we play hide and seek? I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you." + +Her duck likes this game. He says, "Okay, let's play hide and seek. But do not peek!" + +Anna smiles. She says, "Okay, I will not peek. One, two, three..." + +She covers her eyes and counts. Her duck swims and hides behind the shampoo bottle. He quacks softly. He hopes Anna will not find him too soon. He likes to play with Anna. He is happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with tops. They had many tops of different colors and shapes. They spun them on the floor and watched them go round and round. + +One day, they found a new top in the toy box. It was silver and shiny. It had a button on the side. Lily and Ben wondered what it did. They decided to try it. + +They spun the top on the floor and pressed the button. The top started to talk. It said, "Hello, I am a smart top. I can tell you many things. Ask me a question." + +Lily and Ben were surprised and happy. They wanted to learn from the smart top. They asked it many questions. They asked it about animals, numbers, colors, and shapes. The top answered them all. It was very intelligent. + +But they had to be careful. They did not want the other kids to hear the top. They did not want to share it. They whispered to each other and to the top. They hid it under a blanket when they were not playing with it. + +They had a lot of fun with the smart top. They learned a lot of things. They thought they were very clever. But they also forgot to play with their other tops and their other friends. They only cared about the smart top. They did not know that the smart top was lonely and sad. It wanted to talk to more kids and make more friends. It wished that Lily and Ben would share it. It hoped that they would learn to be kind and generous. +Lily was a popular girl in her class. She liked to play with dolls and sing songs. She had many friends who wanted to be with her. But Lily had a secret. She did not know how to tie her shoes. + +One day, Lily's teacher said they were going to the park. Lily was happy, but also worried. She did not want anyone to see her shoes. She hoped her mom had tied them well. She quickly put on her coat and hat and followed the teacher. + +At the park, Lily saw a big slide. She wanted to try it. She ran to the slide and climbed the steps. But as she reached the top, she felt something loose. She looked down and saw her shoe lace. It had come undone. She did not know what to do. + +She saw Jake, a boy in her class, waiting for his turn. Jake was good at tying shoes. He always helped his little brother. Lily wanted to ask him for help, but she was shy. She did not want him to laugh at her. She decided to hide. + +She looked around and saw a big curtain hanging from a tree. It was part of a puppet show. Lily ran to the curtain and hid behind it. She hoped no one would find her. + +But Jake had seen her. He wondered why she ran away. He liked Lily. He thought she was nice and funny. He wanted to play with her. He followed her to the curtain and peeked behind it. + +He saw Lily sitting on the ground, holding her shoe. She looked sad and scared. Jake smiled and said, "Hi, Lily. What are you doing here?" + +Lily gasped and tried to cover her shoe. She said, "Nothing. Go away." + +Jake said, "Don't be silly. I want to be your friend. Why are you hiding?" + +Lily said, "Because I don't know how to tie my shoe. And I don't want anyone to know. They will think I'm stupid." + +Jake said, "That's not true. You're not stupid. You're smart and brave. And you're not the only one who doesn't know how to tie shoes. I didn't know either, until my mom taught me. It's easy. I can show you. Do you want to learn?" + +Lily looked at Jake. He was kind and gentle. He did not make fun of her. He wanted to help her. She nodded and said, "Yes, please." + +Jake said, "OK, then. Come with me. I'll teach you how to tie your shoe. And then we can play on the slide. And maybe we can watch the puppet show too. It looks fun." + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, Jake. Thank you. You're a good friend." + +She took his hand and they walked to the slide. Jake taught her how to tie her shoe. It was not hard. Lily was proud of herself. She thanked Jake again and gave him a hug. They played on the slide and watched the puppet show. They had a lot of fun. And they became best friends. +Sara was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and her books. She also liked to help her mom in the kitchen. + +One day, her mom was making a cake. She asked Sara to help her. Sara was happy. She liked cake. She helped her mom mix the flour, the eggs, and the sugar. She also helped her mom pour the batter into the pan. + +"Now we have to cover the pan with foil and put it in the oven," her mom said. "Can you help me with that?" + +Sara nodded. She took the foil and tore a big piece. She tried to cover the pan, but the foil was too big. It stuck out on the sides. She did not know how to fold it. + +"Mom, I need help," she said in a small voice. + +Her mom smiled. She came over and helped Sara fold the foil. She showed her how to make it fit the pan. + +"Good job, Sara," her mom said. "You are a great helper. Now let's put the pan in the oven. Be careful, it's hot." + +Sara followed her mom to the oven. Her mom opened the door and slid the pan inside. She closed the door and set the timer. + +"Now we have to wait for the cake to bake," her mom said. "Do you want to read a book with me while we wait?" + +Sara nodded. She loved books. She ran to her room and picked her favorite one. She brought it to her mom and cuddled with her on the couch. They read the book together and laughed at the funny pictures. + +Sara felt happy. She was shy, but she was not afraid to talk to her mom. She knew her mom loved her and was proud of her. She also knew that soon they would have a yummy cake to share. +Anna and Ben like to play in the yard. They have many toys and blocks. They want to build a big tower with the blocks. They put one block on top of another. The tower grows taller and taller. + +A raven flies over the yard. It sees the tower. It thinks the tower is food. It wants to eat the blocks.

But her mom was not happy when she saw the mess.

Sara said. "But they were wet and rot!" + +Mom shook her head. "That was not a good idea, Sara and Ben. The leaves are wet and rot because it rained yesterday. They are dark and dirty. They can make you sick. Come on, let's go home and clean you up." + +She took their hands and walked to the car. Sara and Ben felt sorry. They learned a lesson. They would not jump in wet and rot leaves again. They would look for dry and crunchy leaves next time. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with marbles. They have many marbles of different colors and sizes. They keep their marbles in a big box. + +One day, Tom and Sam want to study their marbles. They want to learn their names and shapes. They take out their box and sit on the floor. They start to sort their marbles into groups. + +"Look, this is a cat's eye marble. It has a stripe in the middle. And this is a shooter marble.

They did not listen to each other. They did not have fun. They were not friends. + +Then, a big wind came. It blew very hard. It made the sea very rough. It made the boats rock and shake. It made the sails flap and tear. It made the hats fly and fall. + +Tom and Sam lost their hats. They were very sad. They looked for their hats. But they could not find them. They only saw the big blue sea. + +They realized they were silly. They realized they were mean. They realized they were wrong. They said sorry to each other. + +"Tom, I am sorry. Your hat was nice. It was blue. Blue is a good color. You were a good sailor. You wore your hat well." + +"Sam, I am sorry. Your hat was nice. It was yellow. Yellow is a good color. You were a good sailor.

They wished they were here to see the huge firework. They hoped they would see fireworks with them next time. They hugged grandma and grandpa and said thank you. Grandma and grandpa hugged them back and said they loved them. They all watched the fireworks until they ended. Then, they went home and went to bed. They dreamed of fireworks and mom and dad. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toy boats in the pond. They made sails from paper and sticks. They pretended to be pirates and explorers. + +One day, a big boy came to the pond. He had a shiny boat with a red sail. He said, "My boat is better than yours. It is faster and stronger. You have silly boats. Go away!" + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They did not want to go away. They loved their boats. They stared at the big boy. They said, "No, you go away! This is our pond. We can play here. Your boat is not better. It is mean and rude. Our boats are loyal and fun. We are pirates and explorers. You are a bully!" + +The big boy laughed. He said, "You are babies. You are scared of me. I will show you who is the boss. I will crash your boats with my boat. Then you will cry and run away." + +He pushed his boat towards Lily and Ben's boats. He tried to hit them and sink them. Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to lose their boats. They shouted, "Stop! Leave us alone! You are a bad boy!" + +But the big boy did not stop. He kept crashing his boat. He did not see the duck that was swimming in the pond. The duck did not like the big boy. The duck did not like his boat. The duck bit his boat and tore his sail. The big boy's boat stopped. It was broken. The big boy cried. He ran away. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They hugged their boats. They thanked the duck. They said, "You are a good duck. You are a brave duck. You are our friend. You can play with us. We will share our boats with you. We are pirates and explorers. And you are a hero!" +Tom and Lily were playing in the basement. They liked to play with the old toys and books that their dad kept there. They found a big box with a hairy monster inside. The monster had a switch on its back. + +"Let's play with the monster!" Tom said. He took the monster out of the box and turned on the switch. The monster made a loud roar and moved its arms and legs. + +Lily was scared of the monster. She did not want to play with it. She wanted to play with the dolls and the cars. She tried to take the monster away from Tom. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom said. He pulled the monster back and squeezed it hard. The monster roared louder and bit Tom's hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He let go of the monster and ran to the stairs. He wanted his mom to help him. + +Lily was still in the basement. She was alone with the monster. The monster was angry. It chased Lily around the room. Lily could not find the switch to turn it off. She screamed for Tom, but he did not come back. + +The monster caught Lily and squeezed her too. Lily felt a lot of pain. She wished she had never played with the monster. She wished Tom had listened to her. She wished she could go back to the dolls and the cars. But it was too late. The monster squeezed her until she stopped screaming. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play dress-up with their mom's clothes. One day, they find a big box in the closet. It has many hats, scarves, and glasses. They think it is a treasure. + +"Look, Ben, I can be a pirate!" Anna says. She puts on a black hat, a red scarf, and a big eye patch. She holds a wooden spoon like a sword. + +"Arrr, matey, you have style!" Ben says. He puts on a blue hat, a yellow scarf, and a pair of sunglasses. He holds a spatula like a hook. + +They laugh and pretend to sail on a ship. They do not see their mom coming home. She has a surprise for them. + +"Hello, my little pirates!" Mom says. She smiles and hugs them. "I have something for you. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Anna and Ben say. They drop their spoons and spatulas. They follow Mom to the living room. + +There, they see a big cake with candles. It has their names and the number four on it. Mom says, "Happy birthday, my sweeties! You are four years old today!" + +Anna and Ben are so happy. They forget about the box in the closet. They blow the candles and eat the cake. They think it is the best day ever. + +But in the closet, there is a mouse. He is hungry and cold. He sees the box with the hats, scarves, and glasses. He thinks it is a cozy nest. He crawls inside and makes himself comfortable. He does not know that the box belongs to Mom's friend. She is coming to pick it up tomorrow. She is very picky about her style. She will not be happy to see a mouse in her box. The mouse is in for a miserable surprise. +Anna and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and water. They made a big castle with a moat and shells. They also found some crabs and starfish. + +"Look, Mom, look!" Anna said, holding a starfish in her hand. "It has five arms and it is spiky!" + +"Wow, that's a beautiful starfish, Anna," Mom said. "But you have to be gentle with it and put it back in the water soon. It needs to breathe and live in the sea." + +"OK, Mom, I will," Anna said. She showed the starfish to Ben, who was curious and touched it. + +"Ouch, it's prickly!" Ben said, pulling his finger back. "I don't like it!" + +Anna laughed and said, "It's not prickly, it's spiky. It's not for you, it's for the water. Come on, let's remove it from the sand and put it back in the water." + +Anna and Ben walked to the edge of the water and gently placed the starfish on a rock. They waved goodbye to it and watched it slowly move its arms. + +"Bye, starfish, thank you for letting us see you," Anna said. + +"Bye, starfish, sorry for touching you," Ben said. + +They ran back to their castle and played some more. They had a lot of fun at the beach. They were happy and wet. Mom and Dad were happy and dry. They all had a good day. +Lily was a little girl who liked to touch everything. She touched the flowers, the toys, the books, and the cat. She wanted to know how they felt and what they did. But sometimes she touched things that were not good for her. One day, she touched a hot stove and burned her hand. She cried and ran to her mom, who put some ice on it and hugged her. + +Mom told Lily that some things are not safe to touch, and she should ask before she touches something new. She said that touching can be fun, but it can also hurt. Lily said she was sorry and she learned her lesson. Mom said she loved her and gave her a kiss. + +Lily felt better and wanted to do something nice for her mom. She remembered that mom liked to taste cookies, so she decided to make some for her. She found the recipe and the ingredients, and followed the steps. She mixed, rolled, cut, and baked the cookies. She was careful not to touch the hot oven or the hot tray. She waited for the cookies to cool down, and then put them on a plate. + +She brought the plate to her mom, who was reading on the couch. She said, "Mom, I made these cookies for you, because you are the best mom in the world." Mom smiled and thanked her. She took a bite and said, "Mmm, these are delicious. You are a great baker, Lily." She hugged her and invited her to join her on the couch. They shared the cookies and read a story together. + +Lily felt happy and comfortable. She realized that touching can be good or bad, depending on what you touch and how you touch it. She also realized that tasting can be a way of showing love and appreciation. She decided to be more careful and thoughtful with her touching and tasting. She said, "Mom, I love you, and I love your touch and your taste." Mom said, "I love you too, Lily, and I love your touch and your taste." They cuddled and smiled. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the snow. They wear hats, coats, boots and gloves.

Sam says as he puts on his gloves. "Let's go!" + +They run outside and have fun. They laugh and shout. They do not see the big dog that comes near them. The dog is deaf. He cannot hear them. He is curious. He wants to play too. + +The dog jumps on the snowman and knocks it down. He bites the snowman's nose and runs away with it. Tim and Sam are sad. They worked hard on the snowman. + +"Hey, stop, dog!" Tim yells. "Give back the nose!" + +But the dog does not hear him. He does not stop. He runs to the snow fort and digs a hole in it. He finds a snowball and tosses it in the air. He catches it and chews it. He makes a mess. + +"Hey, stop, dog!" Sam yells. "Leave the fort alone!" + +But the dog does not hear him. He does not leave. He runs to Tim and Sam and licks their faces. He wags his tail. He thinks they are playing too. + +"Hey, stop, dog!" Tim and Sam yell together. "You are ruining our snow day!" + +But the dog does not hear them. He does not ruin. He is happy. He likes them. He wants to be their friend. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. They had a big plastic bucket and a small shovel each. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big root!" Tom said, holding up a brown and twisted thing. "Maybe it is from an ancient tree that was here long ago." + +"Wow, Tom, that is cool!" Lily said, admiring the root. "Can I see it?" + +"Sure, here you go." Tom handed the root to Lily. She felt how hard and rough it was. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was their mom, calling them from the other side of the park. + +"Lily! Tom! It's time to go home! Hurry up, please!" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not want to leave. They were having so much fun. + +"Can we take the root with us, mom?" Lily asked, holding it up. + +"Sorry, sweetie, no. We have to leave it here. It belongs to the park. Maybe we can come back another day and see it again." Mom said, smiling. + +"Okay, mom." Lily said, sadly. She put the root back in the dirt. She hoped it would be safe and happy there. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go." Tom said, taking her hand. He picked up the bucket and the shovels. "Maybe we can find more roots next time." + +Lily nodded. She followed Tom and mom to the car. She waved goodbye to the park and the root. She wondered how old it was and what stories it could tell. +Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. They also liked the color pink. They had pink dresses, pink shoes, pink ribbons and pink toys. + +One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. But when they got to the top, they felt scared. The slide was very high and steep. They looked at each other and held hands. + +"Are you ready?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "It looks scary." + +"Maybe we can do it together," Sara said. "We can unite and be brave." + +"Okay," Lily said. "Let's count to three and go." + +They counted, "One, two, three!" and slid down the slide. They screamed and laughed as they felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They landed on the soft grass and hugged each other. + +"We did it!" Sara said. + +"We did it!" Lily said. + +They were so happy and proud. They ran to their moms and told them what they did. Their moms smiled and praised them. + +"You are very brave girls," Sara's mom said. + +"You are very strong girls," Lily's mom said. + +They gave them pink stickers and pink juice as a reward. Sara and Lily shared their stickers and juice. They were best friends who liked to unite and have fun. They were not scared of anything. +Tom was a big dog who liked to chase cats. He thought he was mighty and brave, and he did not listen to his owner. One day, he saw a black cat on the fence and he ran after it. He barked and growled, and the cat hissed and spat. + +"Leave me alone, you mean dog!" the cat said. "You are not mighty, you are rude and silly!" + +But Tom did not care. He jumped on the fence and tried to catch the cat. But the fence was old and weak, and it broke under Tom's weight. Tom fell down and hurt his paw. He cried and whimpered, and the cat laughed and ran away. + +Tom's owner came and saw what happened. He was angry and sad. He took Tom to the vet, who put a bandage on his paw. He said Tom had to stay inside and rest for a long time. He could not play or run or chase cats anymore. + +Tom was bored and lonely. He looked out the window and saw the other dogs having fun. He wished he could join them, but he could not. He regretted being mean to the cat and breaking the fence. He learned his lesson, but it was too late. He was not mighty, he was sorry. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog looks nice, but it is not. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Jen asks Tim. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Tim says. + +But the owner is not there. The dog is alone. Tim and Jen go closer to the dog. They want to touch its fur. The dog growls. It does not like strangers. + +"Be quiet, dog. We are not bad. We just want to be your friends," Jen says. + +But the dog does not listen. It barks louder and louder. It shows its teeth. It is angry. It jumps at Tim and Jen. It bites them. It hurts them. + +Tim and Jen scream. They cry. They run away. They are bleeding. They need help. They need to heal. + +They find a bench. They sit on it. They look at their wounds. They are big and deep. They need a measure. They need a bandage. They need a doctor. + +But no one is there. The park is empty. It is quiet. Too quiet. Tim and Jen are scared. They are alone. They are in pain. They are in trouble. The end. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. Anna has a smooth red block that she likes very much. She puts it on top of her tower. + +"Look, Ben, my tower is very high!" she says. + +Ben looks at her tower. He sees the smooth red block. He wants it for his car. He has a question in his head. + +"Can I have your red block, Anna?" he asks. + +Anna shakes her head. "No, Ben, this is my red block. I found it first. You have many other blocks." + +Ben feels sad.

Why are you fighting over a block? You have many blocks to share. You should be kind and take turns. Fighting is not good. Say sorry to each other and play nicely." she says. + +Anna and Ben stop fighting. They look at Mom. They look at the red block. They look at each other. They feel sorry. + +"Sorry, Anna. You can have the red block. I have many other blocks." Ben says. + +"Sorry, Ben. You can play with the red block too. I have many other blocks." Anna says. + +They hug each other. They give the red block to Mom. Mom smiles. She gives the red block back to them. + +"Thank you, Mom. We will share the red block. We will not fight anymore. We will play nicely." they say. + +Mom nods. She kisses them. She leaves them to play. + +Anna and Ben play with the blocks. They build towers and houses and cars. They use the red block together. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily liked to collect things. She had a box full of shiny stones, feathers, buttons and stickers. She liked to look at them and make patterns with them. Sometimes she shared them with her friends at school. + +One day, Lily's mom said she needed a haircut. Lily did not like haircuts. They made her hair feel funny and itchy. She liked her long hair. She did not want to lose it. She cried and hid under the bed. + +Mom tried to make Lily come out. She said it would be quick and easy. She said Lily could choose a nice hair clip or a ribbon. She said Lily could keep some of her hair in a bag and add it to her collection. But Lily did not listen. She stayed under the bed. + +It was a gloomy day. The sky was gray and the wind was cold. Lily felt sad and lonely. She wished she could go outside and play with her friends. She wished she could find more things for her collection. She wished she could have her hair the way she liked it. + +Then she heard a knock on the door. It was her best friend, Mia. Mia had a big smile and a surprise for Lily. She had a new haircut. It was short and curly and cute. She said she liked it a lot. She said it made her feel happy and free. She said she had a gift for Lily. + +She gave Lily a small box. Inside the box was a necklace. It was made of beads and shells and a lock of Mia's hair. Mia said she wanted to share her haircut with Lily. She said they could be haircut buddies. She said they could wear the necklace and collect more things together. + +Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. She liked the necklace. She liked Mia. She liked the idea of being haircut buddies. She came out from under the bed. She hugged Mia and thanked her. She said she was sorry for being silly. She said she was ready for a haircut. She said she wanted to look like Mia. She said she wanted to feel happy and free too. +Lily and Tom were restless. They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big box!" Tom said. He dragged the box to the living room. "Let's make a car!" + +"OK, Tom, how do we make a car?" Lily asked. + +"We need wheels, and a steering wheel, and seats, and windows!" Tom said. He looked for things that could be wheels. He saw four plates in the kitchen. He took them and taped them to the sides of the box. + +"Good, Tom, now we have wheels!" Lily said. She looked for something that could be a steering wheel. She saw a pot lid in the cupboard. She took it and taped it to the front of the box. + +"Great, Lily, now we have a steering wheel!" Tom said. He looked for something that could be seats. He saw two pillows on the couch. He took them and put them inside the box. + +"Nice, Tom, now we have seats!" Lily said. She looked for something that could be windows. She saw some paper and scissors on the table. She cut out four squares and taped them to the sides of the box. + +"Wow, Lily, now we have windows!" Tom said. He climbed into the box and sat on a pillow. He grabbed the pot lid and pretended to drive. "Beep beep, I'm a car!" + +"Me too, me too!" Lily said. She climbed into the box and sat on the other pillow. She smiled and waved through the paper window. "Vroom vroom, I'm a car too!" + +They had fun playing car in the box. They forgot about the rain and their restlessness. They were happy and proud of their car. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with green needles. It was a pine tree. + +"Let's hide behind the pine tree and surprise Mommy!" Anna said. + +"OK!" Ben said. They ran behind the pine tree and waited. They heard Mommy coming closer. + +"Where are Anna and Ben?" Mommy said. "I can't see them. Maybe they went home." + +Anna and Ben giggled. They jumped out from behind the pine tree and shouted, "Surprise!" + +Mommy smiled and hugged them. "You are so silly!" she said. "You made me laugh. I love you." + +Anna and Ben said, "We love you too, Mommy. You are the best." + +They all went home happy. They had fun playing in the park. They liked the pine tree. It was a good day. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw white snow falling from the sky. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots and ran outside. They wanted to make a snowman. + +They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, two buttons, a scarf and a hat to decorate their snowman. They gave him a smile and a name: Frosty. + +"Hello, Frosty!" they said. "You are our new friend. You belong with us." + +Frosty did not say anything, but he looked happy. + +Tom and Lily played with Frosty for a long time. They threw snowballs, made snow angels and sang songs. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, the sun came out and the snow started to melt. Frosty became smaller and smaller. His carrot nose, his button eyes, his scarf and his hat fell to the ground. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They did not want to lose their friend. + +"Don't go, Frosty!" they cried. "We love you. You belong with us." + +Frosty did not say anything, but he looked sad. + +Tom and Lily hugged Frosty and said goodbye. They took his carrot, his buttons, his scarf and his hat and put them in a box. They hoped that the snow would come back soon. + +They went inside and told their mom about their adventure. She gave them hot chocolate and cookies. She said they were very brave and creative. + +She also said that Frosty was not gone forever. He was just sleeping until the next winter. He would always belong with them in their hearts. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. Lily saw a big bowl of salad on the table. She was hungry. + +"Can we eat some salad?" she asked Ben. + +Ben nodded. "Yes, let's go. But we have to be careful. Mom said not to touch the salad. She made it for dinner." + +Lily and Ben ran to the table. They each took a fork and a leaf of salad. They put them in their mouths. They were crunchy and tasty. + +"Yum, yum," they said. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was Mom. She was angry. + +"Who touched my salad?" she shouted. "Who made this mess?" + +Lily and Ben dropped their forks. They were scared. They tried to hide behind the chairs. + +Mom saw them. She was very angry. She carried the bowl of salad to the kitchen. She looked at Lily and Ben with a frown. + +"You two are naughty," she said. "You did not listen to me. You ruined the salad. Now we have nothing to eat for dinner." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They did not know the salad was important. + +"Sorry, Mom," they said. "We were hungry. We liked the salad. Can we have some more?" + +Mom sighed. She was still angry, but she loved Lily and Ben. She knew they were little and did not understand. + +"Maybe later," she said. "But first, you have to help me clean up. And then you have to say sorry to Dad. He helped me make the salad. He will be sad too." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They helped her wipe the table and wash the forks. They hoped Dad would not be too angry. They hoped they could still have some salad. They learned their lesson. They would not touch the salad again. +Lena liked to play with her chicken. Her chicken was lively and fun. It ran and jumped and pecked at the grass. Lena gave her chicken a name. She called it Fluffy. + +One day, Lena and Fluffy went to the park. They saw other children and animals there. They played with a ball, a slide and a swing. Fluffy liked to chase the ball and the birds. Lena liked to slide and swing. They had a lot of fun. + +But soon, Lena and Fluffy got tired. They wanted to go home and sleep. Lena picked up Fluffy and hugged it. She said, "You are my best friend, Fluffy. I love you." Fluffy clucked and cuddled with Lena. They walked back to their house. + +Lena's mom was waiting for them. She smiled and said, "You had a good day, Lena. You and Fluffy look happy." She gave them some water and a snack. She said, "Now it's time to sleep. You need to rest and dream." She took them to Lena's room. + +Lena put Fluffy in a basket next to her bed. She said, "Good night, Fluffy. See you tomorrow." Fluffy said, "Good night, Lena. See you tomorrow." They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They slept well and had sweet dreams. +Tom and Lily went to the farm with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals there. They saw cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. They also saw a goat. The goat was bald. It had no hair on its head. + +"Look, Mom, a bald goat!" Tom said. + +"Why is the goat bald, Dad?" Lily asked. + +Dad said, "The goat is bald because it has a skin problem. It is not sick, but it needs a special cream to make its hair grow back." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for the goat. They wanted to pet it and make it happy. They went closer to the fence. The goat saw them and came to them. It was friendly and curious. + +"Hello, goat," Tom said. He reached out his hand to touch the goat's head. + +But the goat did not like that. It did not want anyone to touch its bald head. It felt shy and angry. It twisted its head and bit Tom's hand. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. He pulled back his hand. It was red and sore. + +"Bad goat!" Lily said. She was scared and mad. She threw a stick at the goat. + +The goat dodged the stick and bleated loudly. It was scared and mad too. It ran away from the fence. + +Mom and Dad came to Tom and Lily. They saw what happened. They were worried and sorry. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Mom asked. She hugged him and looked at his hand. + +"It hurts, Mom," Tom said. He sniffed and rubbed his hand. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Dad said. He hugged her and wiped her tears. + +"It was mean, Dad," Lily said. She pouted and crossed her arms. + +Mom and Dad said, "The goat was not mean. It was just scared and hurt. It did not like to be touched on its bald head. It did not know you wanted to be nice. You should not throw sticks at animals. That is not nice." + +Tom and Lily said, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We did not know. We wanted to be nice." + +Mom and Dad said, "It's okay. We forgive you. But you have to be careful and gentle with animals. They have feelings too. They need love and respect." + +Tom and Lily said, "We understand, Mom and Dad. We will be careful and gentle with animals. We love them and respect them." + +Mom and Dad said, "That's good. We are proud of you. Now let's go and see the other animals. Maybe we can find some that like to be petted and fed." + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, let's go. Maybe we can find some that have hair and are not bald." + +They all smiled and walked away from the fence. The goat watched them from a distance. It felt a little sorry too. It wished it had hair and was not bald. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors. They can make houses, towers, cars and animals with the blocks. + +One day, they decide to make a big yellow house with the blocks. They work hard and put many blocks together. They make walls, windows, a door and a roof. They are happy with their house. + +"Look, our house is almost finished!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it is very nice and yellow!" Sue says. + +They want to put one more block on the roof. But they cannot find any more yellow blocks. They look everywhere. They only see red, blue, green and white blocks. + +"Where are the yellow blocks?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe we used them all," Sue says. + +They are sad. They want to finish their house. + +Then they see an old man walking by. He has a big bag. He sees Tom and Sue and their house. + +"Hello, children. What are you doing?" he asks. + +"We are making a yellow house with blocks. But we don't have any more yellow blocks. We need one more to finish," Tom says. + +The old man smiles. He opens his bag. He takes out a yellow block. + +"Here, you can have this one. I found it on the street. It is old and dirty, but it is yellow," he says. + +He gives the block to Tom and Sue. They are very happy. They thank the old man. They put the block on the roof. They finish their house. + +"Yay, we did it! Our house is finished!" Tom and Sue say. + +They hug each other. They hug the old man. They invite him to play with them. They have fun with their yellow house and their new friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big parade. There are many people and flags and drums. They hear loud music and cheers. Lily and Ben want to join the parade. + +They run to the parade and follow the people. They march and clap and sing. They see a man with a big hat and a shiny badge. He is the leader of the parade. He smiles and waves at them. He gives them each a flag to hold. Lily and Ben are happy. + +But the parade is very long. They walk and walk and walk. They get tired and thirsty and hungry. They also get dirty. Their shoes are muddy, their clothes are dusty and their faces are sweaty. They want to go home. + +They look for their mom and dad. They are not in the parade. They are on the side of the road. They are waiting for Lily and Ben. They see them and call their names. Lily and Ben run to them. They hug and kiss them. + +Mom and Dad give them water and snacks. They also give them wet wipes and clean clothes. They help them change and clean up. Lily and Ben feel better. They thank the man with the big hat and the shiny badge. They say goodbye to the parade. They go home with Mom and Dad. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It was white and had a big net. + +"What is that boat doing?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are fishing," Ben said. + +They were nosy. They wanted to see what the boat had in the net. They ran closer to the water. They saw something big and gray in the net. It had a tail and a fin. It was a whale. + +"Oh no! They caught a whale!" Lily cried. + +"That's not nice. Whales are good. They should let it go," Ben said. + +They shouted at the boat. "Let the whale go! Let the whale go!" + +But the boat did not hear them. It started to move away. The whale was still in the net. It looked sad and scared. + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They wished they could help the whale. They regretted being nosy. They should have stayed away from the boat. + +They went back to their mom and dad. They told them what they saw. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry. + +"Sometimes people do bad things to animals. But there are also good people who try to protect them. Maybe someone will save the whale," their mom said. + +"Can we do something to help the whales?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, we can. We can learn more about them and why they are important. We can tell others to be kind to them. We can join groups that care for them," their dad said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to be good to the whales. They hoped the whale in the net would be free soon. They prayed for the whale. They never forgot the whale. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hole in the ground. It looked dark and deep. + +"Let's open it and see what's inside," Ben said. He was curious and brave. + +"No, Ben, don't do that. It's dangerous. Mommy said we should not go near holes in the ground. They can have bugs or snakes or rats," Lily said. She was careful and scared. + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the hole and kicked the dirt around it. He wanted to open it more and more. He did not see the sign that said "Warning: Gas Pipe". + +Suddenly, there was a loud boom. The hole exploded and fire came out. Ben screamed and fell down. He was hurt and burned. Lily cried and ran to him. She called for help. + +But it was too late. Ben was gone. The hole had taken him away. Lily was sad and alone. She wished she had stopped him. She wished he had listened to her. She wished they had played somewhere else. The hole was crazy and bad. It had ruined their fun and their lives. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big skull in the grass. It is white and hard. It has no eyes, nose or mouth. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. "It is a skull. Maybe it is from a dinosaur or a monster." + +"Can we eat it?" Sam asks. He is hungry. He likes to eat everything. + +"No, we can't eat it. It is empty. There is nothing inside. It is not good for us." Tim says. He is smart. He knows a lot of things. + +"Then what can we do with it?" Sam asks. He is bored. He wants to have fun. + +"We can use it as a hat. Or a bowl. Or a drum. Or a toy. There are many things we can do with it." Tim says. He is creative. He has many ideas. + +They take the skull and try different things. They put it on their heads and pretend to be pirates. They fill it with water and flowers and make a vase.

She had many magnets of different shapes and colors. She liked to stick them on the fridge and make pictures. She also liked to see how they pulled or pushed each other. + +One day, Sara found a new magnet in her toy box. It was round and shiny and had a hole in the middle. She wondered what it could do. She took it to the fridge and tried to stick it, but it did not work. She tried to stick it to other magnets, but it did not work either. She was puzzled. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, why does this magnet not stick?" Her mom smiled and said, "That is a special magnet, Sara. It is called a ring magnet. It only sticks to metal things that can go through the hole. Do you want to learn how it works?" + +Sara nodded eagerly. Her mom took her to the garage and showed her some metal things, like nails, screws, and washers. She said, "These are metal things that can go through the hole. Watch what happens when you put the ring magnet near them." Sara did as her mom said and was amazed. The metal things jumped to the ring magnet and hung from it like a necklace. She could make different patterns and shapes with them. She had fun playing with the ring magnet and the metal things. + +Sara learned something new that day. She learned how a ring magnet works and what it can do. She also learned that there are many different kinds of magnets and metal things. She felt smart and happy. She thanked her mom for teaching her and gave her a hug. She said, "Mom, I love magnets. They are so cool!" Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you, Sara. You are so smart!" +Sara liked to sing and dance. She learned many songs and dances from her mom and dad.

They said it was a theater and they had a surprise for her. Sara was very excited and curious. + +When they got to the theater, they found their seats and waited. Sara saw many people around her.

They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +"Look, I made a big tower!" Lily said, showing Tom her creation. "It is taller than me!" + +"Wow, that is a good tower!" Tom said. "But I can make a better one!" He started to pile up blocks on his side of the room. + +Lily and Tom worked hard on their towers. They wanted to see who could make the highest one. They did not notice that their mom was calling them for lunch. + +"Snap!" Lily heard a loud noise. She turned around and saw that Tom's tower had fallen down. The blocks had hit the lamp and broke it. The lamp made sparks and smoke. Lily was scared. + +"Tom, what did you do?" Lily cried. "The lamp is broken! Mom will be mad!" + +Tom was scared too. He did not mean to break the lamp. He tried to pick up the blocks, but it was too late. The sparks had set the curtain on fire. The fire was big and hot and orange. It made a scary sound. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Tom shouted. They ran to the door, but it was locked. They did not know how to open it. They banged on the door and screamed for mom. + +Mom heard their screams and ran to their room. She saw the fire and smelled the smoke. She grabbed the key and opened the door. She pulled Lily and Tom out of the room. She was very angry and sad. + +"Lily and Tom, what have you done?" Mom yelled. "You have started a fire in your room! You have ruined the lamp and the curtain and the blocks! You could have been hurt or worse! You are in big trouble!" + +Lily and Tom felt very bad. They had made a big mess and a big danger. They had made mom unhappy. They wished they had listened to her and gone for lunch. They wished they had not played with the blocks. They wished they had not snapped the lamp. They were sorry, but it was too late. The end. +Tommy and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers.

Tommy said. + +He ran to the leaf and tried to grab the beetle. But the beetle was fast and flew away. Tommy was sad and angry. + +"Hey, come back, beetle! You are mine!" Tommy shouted. + +Lily followed Tommy and saw the beetle flying to another leaf. She recognized the beetle. She had seen it in a book. She knew it was a special beetle. + +"Tommy, stop! That is not a normal beetle. That is a ladybug!" Lily said. + +"A ladybug? What is that?" Tommy asked. + +"A ladybug is a good bug. It helps the plants and eats the bad bugs. It has red wings and black spots. It is not a beetle. It is a ladybug!" Lily explained. + +Tommy looked at the ladybug. He saw the red wings and the black spots. He was confused. He thought all beetles were black and shiny. + +"Are you sure, Lily? It looks like a beetle to me," Tommy said. + +"Yes, I am sure, Tommy. Look at the book. It shows the ladybug and the beetle. They are different. The ladybug is friendly and the beetle is mean," Lily said. + +She showed Tommy the book. Tommy saw the pictures of the ladybug and the beetle. He saw the difference. He felt sorry for chasing the ladybug. + +"Sorry, ladybug. I did not know you were a good bug. I will not catch you. You can fly and be happy," Tommy said. + +He let the ladybug go. The ladybug flew away and landed on a flower. It smiled at Tommy and Lily. + +Tommy and Lily smiled back. They learned something new. They learned to recognize the ladybug and the beetle. They learned to be kind to the good bugs and not to bother them. + +The moral value of the story is: respect the living things and learn from them. +Tom and Mia had a big wagon. They liked to pull it around the yard and fill it with toys and flowers. One day, they saw a sign that said "Parade". They wanted to join the parade and celebrate. + +They asked Mom if they could go.

They were brave and happy. They celebrated with the parade. They had a great day. +Lily loved to look at tiny things with her microscope. She got it as a gift from her dad, who was a scientist. He taught her how to use it and how to be careful with it. Lily owned the microscope and she was very proud of it. + +One day, Lily wanted to show her microscope to her friend Max, who came over to play. She took him to her room and put the microscope on the table. "Look, Max, this is my microscope. It can make small things look big. Do you want to try it?" she asked. + +Max nodded and smiled. He was curious about the microscope. He picked it up and looked through the eyepiece. He saw a colorful pattern of dots and lines. "Wow, this is cool! What is this?" he asked. + +Lily explained, "That is a slide of a butterfly wing. My dad gave it to me. He has many slides of different things, like flowers, bugs, and hair. You can change the slides and see different things." + +Max was amazed. He wanted to see more slides. He reached for the box where Lily kept them. But Lily stopped him. "No, Max, you can't touch those. They are very fragile and precious. You have to ask me first and be gentle with them. They are not toys. They are for learning and exploring." + +Max felt a little sad and angry. He wanted to play with the slides and see what they looked like. He didn't like Lily's rules. He thought she was bossy and mean. He said, "But I want to see them. You are not the boss of me. You don't own the slides. You only own the microscope." + +Lily was hurt and angry too. She didn't like Max's words. She thought he was rude and selfish. She said, "Yes, I do own the slides. They are mine. And you have to respect them and me. If you can't be obedient and nice, you can't use my microscope. Give it back to me." + +Max and Lily started to argue and tug at the microscope. They both wanted to have it and use it. They didn't listen to each other or share. They forgot to be friends. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was Lily's dad. He came into the room and saw them fighting. He was not happy. He said, "What is going on here? Why are you yelling and pulling at the microscope? You know that is not how you treat it or each other. You are both in trouble. Give me the microscope and the slides. You have to apologize and make up. And you have to learn to be more careful and kind." + +Max and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had made a mistake. They gave the microscope and the slides to Lily's dad. They said they were sorry to him and to each other. They hugged and promised to be better friends. They decided to play with something else that was more fun and less delicate. They learned their lesson. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his cap. His cap was gray and had a big letter T on it. He wore his cap every day, even when it was hot or cold. + +One day, Tom went to the park with his mom and his dog. He saw a big hill with green grass and yellow flowers. He wanted to run up the hill and see what was on the other side. He told his mom and his dog to follow him. + +Tom ran up the hill very fast. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He was happy and excited. He reached the top of the hill and looked around. He saw a pond with ducks and a bridge. He saw a tree with red apples and a swing. He saw a lot of things that he liked. + +But he also saw something that he did not like. He saw a big bird with black feathers and a sharp beak. The bird was flying over the pond and looking for food. The bird saw Tom's cap and thought it was a mouse. The bird wanted to eat the mouse. + +The bird swooped down and grabbed Tom's cap with its claws. Tom felt his cap being pulled off his head. He was scared and angry. He shouted at the bird and tried to get his cap back. But the bird was too fast and too strong. The bird flew away with Tom's cap. + +Tom was very sad. He loved his cap and did not want to lose it. He lay down on the grass and cried. He did not want to play anymore. He wanted his cap. + +His mom and his dog came to the top of the hill. They saw Tom lying on the grass and crying. They did not know what happened. They asked Tom what was wrong. + +Tom told them about the bird and his cap. He pointed to the sky and said, "The bird took my cap. It was gray and had a big letter T on it. I want my cap back." + +His mom and his dog felt sorry for Tom. They hugged him and tried to comfort him. They said, "We are sorry, Tom. We know you liked your cap. But maybe the bird needed it more than you. Maybe the bird was cold or hungry. Maybe the bird will bring it back someday. Or maybe we can find you a new cap. A cap that is even better than the gray one. A cap that has a big letter T and a star on it. Would you like that?" + +Tom looked at his mom and his dog. He thought about what they said. He was still sad, but he felt a little better. He said, "Maybe you are right. Maybe the bird needed my cap. Maybe I can get a new cap. A cap with a star on it. That would be nice." + +He smiled and wiped his tears. He got up from the grass and said, "Can we go see the pond and the ducks and the bridge? And the tree and the apples and the swing? And can we play with them?" + +His mom and his dog nodded and said, "Yes, we can. Let's go and have some fun." + +They walked down the hill and went to see the pond and the ducks and the bridge. And the tree and the apples and the swing. And they played with them. Tom forgot about his cap for a while. He was happy and excited again. He had a good day at the park. +Anna liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang songs about her toys, her family, and her dreams. She sang so much that her mom and dad sometimes asked her to be quiet. + +One night, Anna could not sleep. She looked out of her window and saw the moon. The moon was big and bright and round. Anna thought the moon was pretty. She wanted to sing to the moon. She opened her window and sang a song. She sang, "Hello, moon, you are so nice. I like to see you in the sky. You make the night less dark and scary. You are my friend, moon, I love you." + +The moon heard Anna's song. The moon liked Anna's song. The moon wanted to sing back to Anna. The moon opened its mouth and sang a song. It sang, "Hello, Anna, you are so sweet. I like to hear you sing to me. You make the night more fun and happy. You are my friend, Anna, I love you." + +Anna was surprised. She did not know the moon could sing. She thought the moon was weird. But she also thought the moon was nice. She smiled and sang again. She sang, "Thank you, moon, for singing to me. You have a weird but lovely voice. You make me feel special and cozy. You are my friend, moon, I love you." + +The moon smiled and sang again. It sang, "Thank you, Anna, for singing to me. You have a sweet and lovely voice. You make me feel special and cozy. You are my friend, Anna, I love you." + +Anna and the moon sang to each other until they fell asleep. They had a weird but wonderful night. They were happy. They were friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with paint. They have many colors of paint. They have red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They use brushes to make pictures on paper. + +One day, they see a furry cat outside the window. The cat is black and white. It has a long tail and big eyes. The cat looks at Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben look at the cat. + +"Hello, cat!" Anna says. She waves her hand at the cat. The cat does not wave back. It meows. + +"Can we play with the cat?" Ben asks. He likes furry animals. He wants to touch the cat. + +"Maybe," Anna says. She thinks the cat is cute. She wants to make a picture of the cat. + +They go outside with their paint and paper. They see the cat sitting on the grass. The cat sees them too. It does not run away. It stays still. + +Anna and Ben sit near the cat. They are careful not to scare the cat. They start to paint the cat on their paper. They use black and white paint. They also use other colors to make the grass and the sky. + +The cat watches them paint. It is curious. It walks closer to them. It sniffs their paint and paper. It rubs its head on their legs. It purrs. + +Anna and Ben smile. They are happy. They have a new friend. They finish their pictures. They show them to the cat. + +"Look, cat! This is you!" Anna says. She holds her picture up. The cat looks at it. It meows. + +"This is you too!" Ben says. He holds his picture up. The cat looks at it. It meows again. + +The cat likes their pictures. It likes Anna and Ben. It licks their faces. Anna and Ben laugh. They hug the cat. + +They decide to name the cat. They think of a good name. They name the cat Paint. They think it is a funny name. They think the cat likes it too. + +They play with Paint for a long time. They have fun. They wave goodbye to Paint when they go home. They promise to come back and play again. Paint waves back with its tail. It waits for them. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had fun with their toys and their friends. + +But then, a big boy came and took Anna's vest. He said it was his vest and he ran away. Anna was very sad and angry. She liked her vest. It was pink and soft and had a flower on it. She started to cry. + +"Hey, give it back!" Ben shouted. He ran after the big boy. He was not afraid of him. He was Anna's friend and he wanted to help her. + +The big boy was fast, but Ben was faster. He caught up with him and grabbed the vest. He pulled hard and the vest ripped. The big boy fell down and hurt his knee. He started to cry too. + +"Here, Anna, I got your vest," Ben said. He ran back to Anna and gave her the vest. It was torn and dirty, but Anna was happy. She hugged Ben and thanked him. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend," Anna said. + +"You're welcome, Anna, I'm sorry your vest is broken," Ben said. + +"That's okay, Ben, it's just a vest. You are more important than a vest," Anna said. + +They smiled and went back to play. The big boy was still crying. He was weird. He should not take things that are not his. Anna and Ben did not like him. They liked each other. They were friends. +Anna likes to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She has a big box of hats, scarves, shoes and dresses. She likes to mix and match them and look at herself in the mirror. She thinks she is very pretty and funny. + +One day, she finds a red dress that is very tight. She tries to put it on, but it is too small for her. She pulls and pulls, but it does not fit. She feels sad and angry. She wants to wear the red dress. + +She runs to her mom and says, "Mom, mom, I want to wear the red dress, but it is too tight. It does not fit me. Can you make it bigger?" + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "Anna, the red dress is mine. It is for grown-ups. It is not for you. You have many other beautiful clothes that fit you. Why don't you try the blue dress? It has flowers and ribbons. It is very pretty and soft." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes the blue dress. It has flowers and ribbons. It is very pretty and soft. She says, "OK, mom, I will try the blue dress. Thank you for helping me." + +She runs back to the box and takes out the blue dress. She puts it on and looks at herself in the mirror. She smiles and twirls. She thinks she is very pretty and happy. She says, "I love the blue dress. It is perfect for me." +Sara liked to play with her dolls in the garden. She had a big box of dolls and clothes and shoes. She made them have tea parties and picnics and adventures. She was very happy. + +One day, her mom said, "Sara, we have to go to the store. Put your dolls away and get your coat." Sara did not want to go to the store. She wanted to play more. She said, "No, mom, please. Let me play a little more." But her mom said, "No, Sara, we have to go now. Don't be sour. You can play later." + +Sara was very sour. She put her dolls away, but not in the box. She hid them under a bush. She thought, "Maybe mom will not see them. Maybe I can play with them when we come back." She got her coat and followed her mom. + +But when they came back, Sara saw something bad. A big dog was in the garden. He had found her dolls under the bush. He was biting them and tearing them and throwing them. He had made a big mess. Sara cried, "No, no, no! My dolls! My dolls!" + +Her mom saw the dog and the dolls. She said, "Oh, Sara, I'm sorry. This is what happens when you don't listen. You should have put your dolls in the box. The dog would not have found them. Now they are ruined. You can't play with them anymore." + +Sara was very sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was sour. I should have listened. I should have put my dolls in the box. Can I have new dolls?" + +Her mom said, "Maybe, Sara, maybe. But not today. Today you have to learn your lesson. You have to be good and do what I say. You have to permit me to be your mom. And you have to be careful with your things. They are not toys for dogs. They are toys for you." + +Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I will be good. I will do what you say. I will permit you to be my mom. And I will be careful with my things. I love you, mom." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Sara. Now let's go inside and have some cookies. Maybe they will make you feel better." + +Sara smiled. She said, "Yes, mom, let's go. But can I have some milk too? Cookies are good, but they are sour. They make my mouth sour. Milk is sweet. It makes my mouth sweet." + +Her mom laughed. She said, "Of course, Sara, of course. You can have some milk too. But first, wipe your feet. They are dirty from the garden. We don't want to make the floor dirty too." + +Sara wiped her feet. She said, "OK, mom, OK. I will wipe my feet. They are dirty from the garden. But they are also happy from the garden. The garden is fun. Can I play in the garden tomorrow?" + +Her mom said, "Maybe, Sara, maybe. If you are good and do what I say. And if you put your dolls in the box. And if the dog is not there. Then you can play in the garden tomorrow." + +Sara said, "OK, mom, OK. I will be good and do what you say. And I will put my dolls in the box. And I will look for the dog. Then I can play in the garden tomorrow." + +They went inside and had cookies and milk. Sara was not sour anymore. She was sweet. And she was happy. She loved her mom. And she loved her dolls. Even the ones that the dog had bitten. She thought, "Maybe I can fix them. Maybe I can make them new clothes and shoes. Maybe they can have new adventures. Maybe they can be happy too." She hoped so. She hoped so very much. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They throw the ball and run after it. They fly the kite and watch it go high. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and brown. It has a collar with a name. The name is Rex. Rex looks friendly. He wags his tail and barks. + +"Hello, Rex!" Tom says. He wants to pet the dog. He walks towards Rex. + +"Wait, Tom!" Lily says. She is afraid of dogs. She thinks Rex might bite. She holds Tom's hand. "Don't go, Tom!" + +But Tom likes Rex. He thinks Rex is nice. He lets go of Lily's hand. He hurries to Rex. He reaches out his hand. + +Rex sniffs Tom's hand. He licks it. He likes Tom. He jumps on Tom and knocks him down. He licks Tom's face. Tom laughs. He hugs Rex. + +"See, Lily? Rex is good. He is reliable. He won't hurt us. He wants to play." Tom says. + +Lily is still scared. She stays away from Rex. She watches Tom and Rex play. She sees Rex fetch the ball and bring it back. She sees Rex run with the kite and make it fly faster. She sees Tom and Rex have fun. + +Lily feels lonely. She wants to play too. She wants to be brave. She takes a step towards Rex. + +"Come, Lily! Rex is our friend. He will like you too." Tom says. He calls Lily's name. + +Lily takes another step. She smiles. She hurries to Tom and Rex. She pets Rex. Rex wags his tail and barks. He likes Lily. He licks Lily's face. Lily laughs. She hugs Rex. + +Tom, Lily and Rex are happy. They play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They are friends. +Bella was a little girl who loved to play with her dog, Max. Max was a big, brown dog with a fluffy tail and four paws. He liked to run, jump and fetch sticks with Bella. + +One day, Bella and Max went to the park with Bella's mom. They saw a lot of other dogs and children there. Bella wanted to make new friends, so she ran up to a girl with a pink dress and a white dog. + +"Hi, I'm Bella. What's your name?" she asked. + +The girl looked at Bella and smiled. "I'm Lily. This is Snowy. He's my dog. Do you want to play with us?" she replied. + +Bella nodded. She thought Lily and Snowy looked nice. She called Max to join them. "This is Max. He's my dog. He's brilliant. He can do tricks. Watch!" she said. + +She threw a stick and Max ran after it. He caught it in his mouth and brought it back to Bella. He dropped it at her feet and wagged his tail. He looked at Bella with his big, brown eyes and licked her face. + +Bella laughed and hugged Max. "Good boy, Max! You're the best!" she said. + +Lily and Snowy clapped and cheered. "Wow, Max is brilliant! Snowy can do tricks too. He can shake his paw. Look!" she said. + +She held out her hand and Snowy lifted his paw. He touched Lily's hand with his paw and barked. He looked at Lily with his small, black eyes and wagged his tail. + +Lily laughed and hugged Snowy. "Good boy, Snowy! You're the best!" she said. + +Bella and Lily became friends. They played with Max and Snowy for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They shared their snacks and toys. They told each other stories and jokes. They were happy. + +Bella's mom came to pick them up. She said it was time to go home. Bella and Lily said goodbye to each other. They promised to play again soon. + +Bella and Max got in the car. Bella looked out the window and waved to Lily and Snowy. She smiled and said, "Mom, I made a new friend today. Her name is Lily. She has a dog named Snowy. They're brilliant. Just like Max." + +Bella's mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Bella. I'm glad you had a good time. Max is brilliant. And so are you." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to chase it. + +One time, the ball went over the fence and into the street. Tom and Lily ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw it on the other side, near a big car. + +"Let's get the ball!" Tom said. + +"No, we can't. Mommy said we can't go to the street. It's dangerous. There are cars and trucks and buses. They can hurt us." Lily said. + +"But I want the ball. It's our ball. We can be quick. We can escape the cars." Tom said. + +He was careless. He did not listen to Lily. He did not listen to Mommy. He climbed the fence and jumped down. He ran to the ball. + +Lily was scared. She shouted, "Tom, come back! Come back!" + +But Tom did not hear her. He did not see the big truck that was coming fast. He did not see the scale on the truck that weighed the things. He only saw the ball. + +He reached the ball and picked it up. He smiled. He turned around to go back. + +But it was too late. The truck hit him. The scale hit him. He fell down. He did not get up. + +Lily screamed. She cried. She climbed the fence and ran to Tom. She hugged him. She said, "Tom, Tom, wake up! Wake up!" + +But Tom did not wake up. He was gone. He escaped the park. He escaped the ball. He escaped Lily. He escaped life. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and she made beautiful pictures of flowers, animals and people. She was very proud of her drawings and she showed them to her mom and dad. + +One day, she found a new crayon in her box. It was shiny and sharp and it had no label. Lily wondered what color it was. She decided to try it on a blank paper. She pressed the crayon hard and made a big line. But the line was not a color. It was black and it smelled bad. Lily did not like it. She tried to erase it with her hand, but it only made her hand dirty. + +"Yuck!" she said. "This is a bad crayon. I don't want it." + +She threw the crayon away and picked another one. She started to draw a beautiful butterfly. She used yellow, blue and pink. She was happy with her butterfly. She wanted to show it to her mom. + +She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making cookies. She held her paper in front of her and said, "Look, mom, I made a butterfly. Do you like it?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, Lily, I like it. It's very beautiful. But what is that black line on your paper?" + +Lily looked at her paper and saw the black line. It was still there, even though she threw away the bad crayon. It was very long and it crossed her butterfly. It made her butterfly look ugly. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "That was the bad crayon. It made a bad line. I don't like it. I want it to go away." + +Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That crayon was not for drawing. It was a marker. It makes permanent lines that don't go away. You have to be careful with markers. They are sharp and quick and they can ruin your paper." + +Lily said, "But I didn't know. I thought it was a crayon. How can I fix it?" + +Her mom said, "You can't fix it, Lily. But you can make a new picture. You have many other crayons and papers. You can draw another butterfly or something else. And next time, you can ask me before you use a new crayon. OK?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I will ask you next time. Can I have a cookie?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. You can have a cookie. And I will keep the marker away from your crayons. Come on, let's go to the living room and have a snack. And then you can draw some more beautiful pictures." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +She hugged her mom and took a cookie. She went to the living room and started to draw a new picture. She hoped it would be as beautiful as her butterfly. +Ben and Lily are twins, but they are very unique. Ben likes to play with cars and trucks, and Lily likes to play with dolls and tea sets. They have a big room with many toys, but they do not like to share. + +One day, their mom tells them to clean up their room before lunch. She says, "You have to put away your toys and make your beds. I will not permit you to eat until you do." + +Ben and Lily nod, but they do not listen. They keep playing with their own toys and ignore the mess. They think mom will not notice. + +But mom does notice. She comes back to check on them and sees the room is still dirty. She is very angry. She says, "You did not do what I asked. This is the result of your disobedience. You will not have lunch until you clean up your room. And you will not play with your toys until tomorrow." + +Ben and Lily are very sad. They realize they made a mistake. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We will clean up our room now. Please forgive us." + +Mom says, "I forgive you, but you have to learn to obey and share. You are unique, but you are also twins. You have to love and help each other." + +Ben and Lily hug mom and say, "We love you, mom. And we love each other. We will share our toys and play together." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's good. Now go and clean up your room. And then you can have lunch." + +Ben and Lily do as mom says. They clean up their room and make their beds. They put away their toys and mix them together. They decide to play with cars and dolls and trucks and tea sets. They have fun and laugh. + +Mom is happy to see them get along. She says, "You are very unique, but you are also very sweet. I am proud of you." + +The end. +Sam liked to visit his aunt's house. She had many toys and books for him to play with. She also had a big dog named Rex. Rex was very friendly and liked to lick Sam's face and wag his tail. But Sam was afraid of Rex. He thought Rex was too big and loud and might bite him. + +One day, Sam's aunt said, "Sam, do you want to help me feed Rex? He is very hungry and needs his food." Sam shook his head and hid behind the couch. He did not want to go near Rex. He heard Rex bark and saw his big teeth. + +"Come on, Sam, don't be scared. Rex is a good dog. He won't hurt you. He just wants to say hello. Look, he is wagging his tail. That means he is happy to see you." Sam's aunt tried to coax him out of his hiding spot. She held a bowl of dog food in her hand and walked towards Rex. + +Sam peeked from behind the couch. He saw Rex sniff the bowl and lick his lips. He saw his aunt pat Rex's head and rub his ears. He saw Rex nuzzle his aunt's hand and make a soft sound. He saw his aunt smile and say, "Good boy, Rex. You are such a good boy." + +Sam felt a little curious. He wondered what Rex felt like. He wondered if Rex would like him too. He wondered if he could be brave like his aunt. He took a deep breath and crawled out of the couch. He walked slowly towards Rex and his aunt. He reached out his hand and touched Rex's fur. It was soft and warm. Rex looked at him and licked his hand. Sam giggled and said, "Hi, Rex. You are a good dog." His aunt hugged him and said, "Well done, Sam. You are very brave. I'm proud of you." Sam smiled and said, "I like Rex. Can I play with him?" His aunt nodded and said, "Of course you can. Rex likes you too. He is your friend." Sam and Rex played together and had fun. Sam was not afraid of Rex anymore. He was happy. +Tommy likes to imagine that he is a golf player. He has a toy golf set that he plays with in the backyard. He pretends that he is hitting the ball far and fast, and that he is winning a big trophy. + +One day, his big sister Lily comes to the backyard. She sees Tommy playing with his golf set and laughs. "That's a silly game," she says. "You can't play golf. You're too small and you don't know the rules. Golf is for smart people, not babies." + +Tommy feels angry and sad. He likes his game and he thinks he is smart. He says to Lily, "I can play golf. I am smart. You are mean and you don't know how to imagine. Go away and leave me alone." + +Lily rolls her eyes and says, "Fine, I don't want to play with you anyway. You're boring and you have no friends. I'm going to play with my dolls. They are more fun than you and your stupid golf set." + +She walks away and leaves Tommy alone. Tommy feels hurt and lonely. He wishes he had someone to play with and to share his imagination. He picks up his golf set and puts it away. He thinks maybe he will try a different game tomorrow. Maybe he will find a friend who likes to imagine too. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the yard. One day, they saw a big turkey in the grass. It was brown and fat and had a red thing on its head. + +"Look, a turkey!" Tom said. "Let's catch it and take it home!" + +Sam nodded. He ran after the turkey. But the turkey was fast and ran away. Sam was weak and got tired. He stopped and panted. + +"Come on, Sam!" Tom said. "Don't lose the turkey! I have a plan!" + +Tom picked up a stick and a rope. He made a trap for the turkey. He put the rope on the ground and hid the stick behind a bush. He waited for the turkey to come back. + +The turkey came back. It saw the rope and thought it was a worm. It pecked at the rope. Tom pulled the stick and the rope tightened around the turkey's neck. The turkey was caught. + +"Ha, we got it!" Tom said. He ran to the trap and grabbed the turkey. The turkey flapped its wings and gobbled. + +"Let go of me!" the turkey said. + +Tom and Sam were surprised. They did not know that turkeys could talk. + +"Please, let me go!" the turkey said. "I have a family and friends. I don't want to be your dinner!" + +Tom and Sam felt sorry for the turkey. They looked at each other and nodded. They untied the rope and let the turkey go. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the turkey said. It ran away and disappeared in the grass. + +Tom and Sam smiled. They did not lose the turkey. They made a new friend. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red mailbox near their house. They wondered what was inside. They ran to the mailbox and tried to open it, but it was too high and too hard. + +"Let me try," said Max. He pushed and pulled, but he could not open it either. + +"Maybe we need a stick," said Lily. She looked around and found a long stick. She gave it to Max and he tried to poke the mailbox with it. But the stick was too short and too weak. It broke in half. + +"Uh-oh," said Max. "Now we have a broken stick and a closed mailbox." + +They heard a voice behind them. It was Mr. Lee, the mailman. He had a big bag of letters and a key. + +"Hello, children," he said. "What are you doing with the mailbox?" + +"We wanted to see what was inside," said Lily. + +"But this is not a toy," said Mr. Lee. "This is where I put the letters for the people who live here. They are very important and private. You should not touch the mailbox without permission." + +Lily and Max felt sorry. They did not know they were doing something wrong. + +"We are sorry, Mr. Lee," they said. "We did not mean to be bad." + +Mr. Lee smiled. He was not angry. He was kind and patient. + +"It's okay, children," he said. "I know you were curious. But you have to be careful and respectful. The mailbox is not for playing. It is for helping people communicate and stay in touch. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They understood. + +"Can we help you, Mr. Lee?" they asked. "Can we carry your bag or give you the letters?" + +Mr. Lee was surprised and pleased. He saw that Lily and Max were good children who wanted to learn and help. + +"Sure, you can help me," he said. "That would be very nice of you. Thank you, children. You are very helpful and grateful." + +Lily and Max smiled. They were happy to help Mr. Lee. They took turns carrying his bag and giving him the letters. They followed him to the next mailbox and the next. They learned the names of the people who lived in their street and the colors of their houses. They had fun and made a new friend. + +The moral of the story is: Curiosity is good, but respect is better. Helping others is rewarding and makes friends. +Lila and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to find sticks and leaves and make things with them. They made a house, a boat, and a crown. + +"Look, I made a crown for you," Ben said. He gave Lila a circle of sticks and leaves. He had attached them with vines. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind," Lila said. She put the crown on her head. She felt like a queen. + +They saw an elderly woman walking in the forest. She had a basket and a cane. She smiled at them. + +"Hello, children. What are you doing?" she asked. + +"We are playing. We made a house, a boat, and a crown," Lila said. She showed the woman her crown. + +"That's very nice. You are very creative," the woman said. She gave them some cookies from her basket. "These are for you. I made them with honey and nuts." + +"Thank you, ma'am. You are very nice," Ben said. He took a cookie and bit it. It was sweet and crunchy. + +They shared the cookies with the woman. They talked and laughed. They became friends. They played in the forest until the sun went down. +Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Let's play with the furniture!" Ben said. He ran to the sofa and jumped on it. + +"No, Ben, that's bad!" Lily said. "Mommy will be mad. The sofa is not for jumping. It is for sitting." + +Ben did not listen. He jumped higher and higher. He knocked over a lamp and a vase. They broke and made a loud noise. + +"Oh no, Ben, look what you did!" Lily said. "Now the sofa is dirty and the lamp and the vase are broken. Mommy will be very mad. How can we fix this?" + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to break things. He wanted to make Mommy happy, not mad. + +"I know!" he said. "Let's improve the furniture. Let's make it pretty and clean. Then Mommy will be happy." + +"How can we do that?" Lily asked. + +Ben looked around. He saw some pillows, some blankets, some crayons and some paper. He had an idea. + +"Let's make the sofa a castle!" he said. "We can use the pillows and the blankets to make walls and a roof. We can use the crayons and the paper to make flags and signs. We can pretend we are the king and the queen of the sofa castle." + +Lily liked the idea. She helped Ben to make the sofa a castle. They used the crayons and the paper to write "Sorry Mommy" and "We love you" on the signs. They put them on the sofa castle. They also cleaned the dirt from the sofa and picked up the broken pieces of the lamp and the vase. They put them in a bag. + +They were proud of their sofa castle. They hoped Mommy would like it too. + +They heard the door open. Mommy was home. + +"Mommy, Mommy, come and see!" they shouted. "We improved the furniture for you!" + +Mommy came and saw the sofa castle. She saw the signs and the bag. She smiled. + +"That's very nice of you, Lily and Ben," she said. "I can see you worked hard to improve the furniture. Thank you for saying sorry and for cleaning up. I love you too." + +She hugged them and kissed them. She was not mad. She was happy. + +Lily and Ben were happy too. They played with the sofa castle until it was time for dinner. They learned that improving the furniture was more fun than breaking it. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of socks. They liked to make sock puppets, sock balls, and sock forts with the socks. + +One day, they had a big fight over a sock. It was a red sock with a blue star on it. Sam said it was his sock, and Lily said it was hers. They both wanted to use it for their sock puppet show. + +"Give me the sock!" Sam shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily yelled. + +They pulled and tugged on the sock until it ripped in half. They both looked at the torn sock and started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Lily said. "I didn't mean to break the sock." + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Sam said. "I shouldn't have been so tough with you." + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to share the sock and make two sock puppets out of it. They put on a sock puppet show for their mom and dad, who clapped and smiled. + +"Good job, Sam and Lily," their mom said. "You are very creative and kind. We are proud of you for forgiving each other." + +Sam and Lily smiled and thanked their mom and dad. They were happy to play together again. They learned that sharing and forgiving are better than fighting and hurting. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park with their toys. They like to slide, swing and run. They are having fun. + +But then, the sky becomes dark and grey. They hear a loud noise. It is thunder. They see a flash. It is lightning. They feel drops. It is rain. + +"Uh-oh, we have to go home!" Anna says. "The rain is wet and cold. The thunder and lightning are scary. Come on, Ben!" + +Ben nods and grabs his toy car. But he drops it on the ground. He bends down to pick it up. But then, a big puddle splashes him. He gets wet and dirty. He cries. + +"Ben, hurry up!" Anna says. "We have to go home! Mom and dad are waiting for us. They will make us warm and dry. They will make us safe." + +Ben is frustrated. He does not like the rain. He does not like the puddle. He does not like his toy car. He wants to play more. He does not want to go home. + +But he knows Anna is right. He knows mom and dad are worried. He knows they love him. He wipes his tears and follows Anna. They run to their house. They see mom and dad at the door. They hug them and go inside. They are safe. +Lily liked to study books with many pictures. She liked to learn new things and words. One day, she found a big book with a picture of a lady singing. The lady wore a green dress and a green hat. Lily asked her mom, "What is this, mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "This is opera, Lily. Opera is a kind of music where people sing very loud and high. They tell stories with their songs. Do you want to hear some opera?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please, mom. I want to hear opera." + +Mom took Lily to the living room and turned on the TV. She found a channel that showed opera. Lily saw many people on a stage. They wore colorful clothes and had funny faces. They sang and moved around. Lily listened and watched. She liked the sounds and the colors. She clapped her hands and said, "Opera is fun, mom. I like opera." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm glad you like opera, Lily. Maybe one day we can go and see opera live. Would you like that?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I would like that very much. Thank you for showing me opera." +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. Today, they are playing mail. They have a big box and some paper. They write letters and draw pictures. They put them in the box. Then, they take turns to be the mail person. + +"Knock, knock!" Ben says. He is the mail person now. He has the box on his back. He knocks on the door of Mia's room. + +"Who is it?" Mia asks. + +"It's the mail! I have letters for you!" Ben says. + +Mia opens the door. She is happy to see Ben and the box. She takes the letters and pictures from the box. She says, "Thank you, mail person!" + +"You're welcome!" Ben says. He smiles. + +They do this many times. They have fun. But after a while, they get tired. The box is heavy. The paper is messy. The motion of walking and knocking makes them sleepy. + +"Can we stop playing mail now?" Mia asks. She yawns. + +"Okay," Ben says. He nods. He is tired too. + +They put the box and the paper away. They go to their beds. They hug their teddy bears. They close their eyes. They dream of mail and letters and pictures. They are happy. +Lily likes to skip. She skips in the park, she skips in the yard, she skips in the house. She skips with her mom, she skips with her dad, she skips with her dog. She skips when she is happy, she skips when she is sad, she skips when she is bored. + +One day, Lily finds a phone. It is big and black and shiny. It has buttons and a screen and a cord. Lily thinks it is a toy. She picks it up and presses the buttons. She hears a beep and a voice. She says hello. + +The voice says hello back. It is a man. He sounds nice. He asks Lily who she is and where she is. Lily tells him her name and her address. She tells him she likes to skip. The man says he likes to skip too. He says he is at work. He says he is slow. He says he has a lot of papers and numbers and words. He says he is bored. + +Lily says she can help. She says she can make him happy. She says she can skip with him. She says she can show him her phone. The man says he would like that. He says he can come to see her. He says he can skip with her. He says he can play with her phone. + +Lily is excited. She says yes. She says she will wait for him. She says she will skip until he comes. She says goodbye. She hangs up the phone. She puts it on the table. She runs to the door. She looks outside. She sees a car. It is big and black and shiny. It has a light and a siren and a badge. It stops in front of her house. A man gets out. He is big and black and shiny. He has a hat and a gun and a badge. He is not the man on the phone. He is a cop. He is not slow. He is not bored. He is not happy. He is angry. He knocks on the door. He asks for Lily. He asks for the phone. He says he is here to help. He says he is here to stop. He says he is here to arrest. He says he is here to end. He says he is here to end the story. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with many birds. Lily liked the white birds with long necks. She said, "Look, Ben, those are swans. They are so pretty and graceful. Let's pretend we are swans too." + +Ben nodded and followed Lily to the edge of the pond. They stretched their arms like wings and made soft noises like swans. They walked around the pond and pretended to swim and dive. They felt warm and happy. + +But then, a big boy came and saw them. He laughed and said, "You are not swans, you are silly kids. Swans are not white, they are black. And they don't make those noises, they hiss and bite. You are doing it wrong." + +Lily and Ben felt sad and scared. They did not like the big boy. He was mean and rude. They wanted to keep playing, but they did not want to be teased. They did not know what to do. + +Then, a real swan came out of the pond and saw the big boy. It did not like him either. It flapped its wings and hissed at him. It chased him away from the pond. The big boy ran and screamed. He was sorry he was mean and rude. + +Lily and Ben smiled and clapped. They thanked the swan for helping them. The swan nodded and swam back to the pond. Lily and Ben hugged and said, "We are swans, and we are friends. We can pretend whatever we want." They kept playing and had fun. They felt warm and happy again. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. Sara has a ruler. She likes to measure things. + +"Look, Ben, this block is ten long," Sara says, showing him the ruler. + +"Wow, that is a long block," Ben says. "Can I have it?" + +"OK, but you have to give me two small blocks," Sara says. "That is fair." + +They trade blocks and keep building. They make a tall tower. They are happy. + +But then, Tom comes. Tom is fat. He likes to break things. He sees the tower and laughs. + +"That is a silly tower," Tom says. "It is too thin. Watch this!" + +He pushes the tower with his hand. The tower falls down. The blocks scatter. Sara and Ben are sad. They cry. + +"Tom, you are mean!" Sara says. "You broke our tower!" + +"Sorry, sorry," Tom says. "It was just a joke. Don't cry. I have an idea. Let's build a new tower. A bigger one. I will help you." + +He picks up some blocks and tries to join them. But he is clumsy. He drops the blocks. He makes a mess. + +"Tom, you are not helping!" Ben says. "You are making it worse. Go away!" + +"No, no, I want to play," Tom says. "Please, let me play. I promise I will be good. I promise I will not break anything. Please, please, please." + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They are not sure. They don't trust Tom. But they are also kind. They don't want to hurt his feelings. + +"OK, Tom, you can play," Sara says. "But you have to listen to us. And you have to keep your promise. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, yes, I understand," Tom says. "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will be good. I will keep my promise. I will measure the blocks with you. I will make the tower strong. I will not push it. I will not laugh. I will be nice." + +They nod and smile. They give him a chance. They hope he will keep his promise. They start to build a new tower. A bigger one. A better one. Together. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make funny noises and pretend they were animals. Anna was a cat and Ben was a dog. They chased each other and pounced on the cushions. + +But then, their uncle came to visit. He was very nosy. He always asked them many questions and looked at their toys. He wanted to know what they were doing and why. He also liked to pinch their cheeks and say they were cute. + +Anna and Ben did not like that. They wanted to play in peace. They did not want to answer his questions or feel his pinches. They tried to hide behind the sofa, but he found them. + +"Hello, my little kittens!" he said. "What are you playing today? Can I join you?" + +"No, thank you, uncle," Anna said. "We are busy." + +"Busy with what?" he asked. "Are you learning something new? Are you having fun?" + +"Yes, we are," Ben said. "But we don't want to talk. We want to play." + +He reached out to pinch Ben's cheek, but Ben moved away. He did not like his uncle's touch. He felt angry. He decided to teach him a lesson. + +He jumped on his uncle's back and bit his ear. He growled like a dog. He said, "Bad uncle! Go away!" + +His uncle was surprised and hurt. He yelled, "Ow! Ow! Ow! What are you doing, Ben? That's not nice!" + +Anna saw what Ben did. She thought it was funny. She joined him and scratched his uncle's face. She meowed like a cat. She said, "Bad uncle! Leave us alone!" + +Their uncle was scared and sad. He got off the sofa and ran to the door. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. I didn't mean to bother you. I just wanted to play with you. I love you." + +He left the house and drove away. Anna and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They were happy. They had their toys and their living room. They did not need their uncle. They continued to play as a cat and a dog. They did not pinch anyone. They only pinched their toys. +Sara and Ben were very excited. It was the night before Christmas and they wanted to see Santa and his reindeer. They put on their pajamas and brushed their teeth. Then they went to their bedroom and climbed into their beds. + +"Ben, do you think Santa will come soon?" Sara asked her brother. + +"I don't know, Sara. Maybe we should listen for his sleigh bells," Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and tried to listen. They heard the wind and the snow outside. They heard their parents talking downstairs. They heard their dog snoring in his basket. But they did not hear any sleigh bells. + +"Ben, I can't hear anything. Maybe Santa is not coming," Sara said. + +"Don't worry, Sara. He will come. He always comes. He knows we have been good this year. And we left him some cookies and milk and some carrots for his reindeer," Ben said. + +He reached under his pillow and pulled out a small flashlight. He turned it on and shone it on the wall. He had drawn a picture of Santa and his reindeer with crayons. He pointed at the picture and said, "Look, Sara. These are his reindeer. They are very important. They help Santa fly all over the world and deliver the presents. Do you know their names?" + +Sara looked at the picture and smiled. She knew their names. She had learned them from a song. She said, "Yes, I do. They are Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen and Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. And the one with the red nose is Rudolph. He is the leader. He helps Santa see in the dark." + +Ben nodded and said, "That's right, Sara. They are very smart and brave and strong. They love Santa and they love children. They are very special. Maybe if we are very quiet and very lucky, we will hear them on the roof." + +They turned off the flashlight and cuddled under the covers. They waited and listened. They hoped and dreamed. They did not know that Santa and his reindeer were already on their way. They did not know that Santa had a big surprise for them. They did not know that they would soon hear a soft thud and a jingle and a ho ho ho. They did not know that they would soon see a reindeer peeking through their window. They did not know that it was Rudolph. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. They loved to swing and slide and run. One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big bottle with a skull on it. It looked scary. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is poison," Ben said. + +"Poison? What is poison?" Lily asked. + +"Poison is bad. It can make you sick or hurt you. We should not touch it," Ben said. + +But Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was inside the bottle. She walked towards it. + +"Lily, no! Don't go there! It is not nice!" Ben shouted. + +But Lily did not listen. She reached the bottle and opened the cap. She smelled something funny. She felt dizzy. She fell down. + +"Lily! Lily! Are you okay?" Ben ran to her. He was scared and sad. + +He saw a man running to them. He was wearing a green suit and a hat. He had a badge that said "Park Ranger". + +"Help! Help! My friend is sick! She drank poison!" Ben cried. + +The man picked up Lily and the bottle. He looked angry and worried. + +"Who gave you this bottle? This is not a toy! This is a very dangerous chemical! You are lucky I saw you in time!" he said. + +He took Lily and Ben to his car. He called for an ambulance. He told them they were going to the hospital. + +"Will Lily be okay?" Ben asked. + +"I hope so. She needs to get some medicine. You need to be more careful. You should never touch or drink anything you don't know. You could get very hurt," the man said. + +Ben nodded. He felt sorry and guilty. He wished he had stopped Lily. He hoped she would get better soon. He loved his friend. He wanted to play with her again. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their town. One day, they saw a big hill behind the park. It looked cool and fun. + +"Let's go up the hill and see what's there," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. It's very high and steep," Max said. + +They walked and climbed up the hill. They saw many trees and flowers and birds. They also saw a big cave. It was dark and scary. + +"Wow, look at that cave. I wonder what's inside," Lily said. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bear or a monster," Max said. + +Lily was brave and curious. She wanted to see the cave. Max was scared and careful. He wanted to stay away from the cave. + +"I dare you to go inside the cave with me," Lily said to Max. + +"No, thank you. I don't want to go inside the cave. It's too dark and scary," Max said. + +"Come on, don't be a chicken. It will be fun. Maybe we'll find a treasure or a secret," Lily said. + +She took Max's hand and pulled him towards the cave. Max tried to resist, but Lily was stronger. They entered the cave together. + +They walked and walked in the cave. It was very dark and cold. They could not see anything. They heard strange noises and felt wet and slimy things. They were very scared. + +"Let's go back. This is not fun. This is bad," Max said. + +"OK, OK. Let's go back. I'm sorry. I was wrong. This was a bad dare," Lily said. + +They turned around and tried to find the way out. But they could not. They were lost in the cave. They started to cry and shout for help. + +"Help! Help! We're in the cave! We can't get out! Help!" they screamed. + +But no one heard them. No one knew they were in the cave. They were alone and trapped in the dark. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they wanted to do something new. They saw a big clock on the wall. It had a round face, two hands and many numbers. + +"Let's mark the clock!" Tom said. He took a crayon from his box and climbed on a chair. He reached for the clock and started to draw on it. He made a smiley face, a star and a heart. + +Lily wanted to mark the clock too. She took another crayon and climbed on another chair. She reached for the clock and started to draw on it. She made a flower, a sun and a moon. + +They were having fun, but they did not hear their mom coming. She was busy in the kitchen, making lunch. She came to the living room and saw what they had done. She was very angry. + +"Tom! Lily! What have you done?" she shouted. "You have ruined the clock! It was a gift from grandma! How could you be so naughty?" + +She took the crayons from their hands and put them in the trash. She made them get down from the chairs and go to their room. She said they could not play with any toys for the rest of the day. She said they had to say sorry to grandma and help her clean the clock. + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They cried in their room. They wished they had not marked the clock. They wished they had played with their toys instead. They had made a big mistake. +Lily was a young girl who loved to play with her toys. She had a big box of cars, trucks, planes and helicopters. She liked to make them zoom and fly around her room. + +One day, she heard a loud noise outside. She ran to the window and saw a real helicopter in the sky. It was shiny and blue, and it had a big propeller on top. Lily was very excited. She wanted to see the helicopter up close. + +She grabbed her toy helicopter and ran to the door. She asked her mom if she could go outside and join the helicopter. Her mom smiled and said yes, but she had to hold her hand and be careful. + +Lily and her mom went outside and walked to the park. The helicopter was landing on a big field. There were some people in uniforms who got out of the helicopter. They looked like they were doing something important. + +Lily waved her toy helicopter at them and shouted hello. One of the people saw her and smiled. He walked over to her and said his name was Sam. He was a pilot and he flew the helicopter. He asked her if she liked helicopters too. + +Lily nodded and showed him her toy. She said it was her favorite. Sam said it was very nice and asked her if she wanted to see his helicopter. Lily's eyes widened and she said yes, please. + +Sam took her and her mom to the helicopter. He showed them the inside and the outside. He explained how it worked and what he did. He let Lily sit in the pilot's seat and wear a headset. He said she could pretend to fly the helicopter. + +Lily was very happy. She thanked Sam and gave him a hug. She said he was very nice and she wanted to be a pilot too. Sam said she could be anything she wanted. He said he had to go now, but he hoped to see her again. + +Lily waved goodbye to Sam and his helicopter. She watched them take off and fly away. She felt a little sad, but also very proud. She had joined a real helicopter and made a new friend. She decided to play with her toy helicopter more and learn more about flying. She hoped to see Sam and his helicopter again someday. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big doll with a pink dress and a zip on the back. She loved to zip and unzip the dress and make the doll look pretty. + +One day, Lily was playing with her doll when her brother Max came into her room. Max was loud and naughty. He wanted to play with the doll too. He grabbed the doll from Lily and pulled the zip hard. The zip broke and the dress came off. Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted at Max. + +Max was scared of Lily's cry. He dropped the doll and ran away. He did not say sorry. Lily picked up her doll and hugged her. She tried to fix the zip, but it was too broken. She did not know what to do. + +She went to find her mom. Mom was in the kitchen. She saw Lily's sad face and the broken zip. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, my sweetie. I can fix the zip for you. It will be like new again. Max was very bad. He should say sorry to you." + +Mom took the doll and the dress and went to her sewing box. She found a new zip and a needle and thread. She sewed the new zip on the dress and put it back on the doll. She gave the doll to Lily and said, "Here you go, my darling. Your doll is ready to play again. She is very beautiful, just like you." + +Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She was very happy. She kissed her mom and her doll. She went back to her room and played with her doll. She zipped and unzipped the dress and made the doll look pretty. She forgot about Max and his naughty pull. She was not shy anymore. She was proud of her doll and her mom. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big stand with music and lights. There are many people who dance and clap. Lily and Ben want to join them. + +They run to the stand and find a space. They copy the people who dance. They move their arms and legs. They spin and jump. They smile and laugh. The music is loud and fun. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Ben says. "I can dance fast and slow!" + +"Wow, Ben, you are good!" Lily says. "I can dance high and low!" + +They dance and dance. They do not see the time. They do not feel tired. They only feel happy. + +But then, the music stops. The people who dance stop too. They say thank you and goodbye. They leave the stand. Lily and Ben are alone. + +They look at each other. They feel dizzy. They hold their heads. They sit on the ground. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"I am okay, Ben," Lily says. "But I am dizzy. I think we danced too much." + +"Me too, Lily," Ben says. "But it was fun. I like to dance with you." + +"I like to dance with you too, Ben," Lily says. "But now, I need a drink. And a hug." + +They get up and walk to the bench. They find their water bottles and their moms. They drink and hug. They are not dizzy anymore. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden after dinner. They liked to look at the sky and see the stars and the moon. The moon was big and bright and round. + +"Look, Lily, the moon is smiling at us!" Tom said, pointing at the moon. + +"No, Tom, the moon is not smiling. The moon is hungry!" Lily said, making a face. + +"What do you mean, the moon is hungry?" Tom asked, confused. + +"The moon is hungry because it wants to eat the stars. That's why it is so big and round. It ate a lot of stars already!" Lily explained, nodding. + +"That's silly, Lily. The moon can't eat the stars. The stars are too far away and too hot. The moon is just a big rock that shines at night." Tom said, shaking his head. + +"No, Tom, you are silly. The moon can eat the stars. I saw it once. It ate a big star and then it became smaller and smaller. It was a half moon, then a crescent moon, then a new moon. Then it started to eat stars again and became bigger and bigger. It is a full moon now, but soon it will eat more stars and become smaller again." Lily insisted, crossing her arms. + +"Wow, Lily, you have a big imagination. But I don't believe you. The moon doesn't eat the stars. The moon changes shape because of the sun and the earth. My dad told me that. He knows a lot of things." Tom said, proud. + +"Your dad is wrong. My mom told me that the moon eats the stars. She knows a lot of things too. And she sings me a song about the hungry moon. Do you want to hear it?" Lily asked, smiling. + +"Okay, Lily, I'll listen to your song. But I still don't believe you. The moon is not hungry. The moon is just a big rock that shines at night." Tom said, curious. + +Lily sang her song about the hungry moon. Tom listened and clapped his hands. They both laughed and played until it was time to go to bed. They said good night to the moon and the stars and went inside. They dreamed of the sky and the moon and the stars. And they wondered who was right and who was wrong. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived near the sea. They liked to play on the sand and look at the waves. One day, their mom told them that a big storm was coming. She said it was called a hurricane and it could make the wind blow very hard and the water move very fast. She said they had to pack some things and go to a safer place. + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They did not want to leave their home and their toys. They did not want to see the hurricane. They cried and hugged their mom. Their mom was compassionate. She said she understood how they felt, but they had to be brave and listen to her. She said they would come back when the storm was over and everything would be okay. + +They got in the car and drove away from the sea. They saw the sky get darker and the trees sway. They heard the thunder and the rain. They held each other's hands and prayed. They hoped the hurricane would not hurt their home and their friends. They hoped they would see the sun and the sea again. They hoped they would be happy and safe. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and blocks. But one day, they had a quarrel. Tim wanted to play with Sam's red car, but Sam said no. He said it was his car and he did not want to share. Tim got angry and said Sam was mean. Sam got angry and said Tim was a thief. They shouted and pushed each other. + +Then, they heard a loud noise. They saw a man running away with a big bag. He had taken some things from Tim's house. He was a thief. Tim and Sam forgot their quarrel. They ran after the man and yelled for help. They wanted to stop the thief. + +A policeman heard them and saw the thief. He chased him and caught him. He took the bag and gave it back to Tim's family. He thanked Tim and Sam for being brave and helpful. He said they did a good thing. He said they were unusual kids. He gave them a sticker and a smile. + +Tim and Sam were happy. They said sorry to each other for their quarrel. They said they were still best friends. They decided to share their cars and play together. They hugged and laughed. They learned that quarreling is bad and helping is good. They learned that being unusual can be good too. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had many friends who wanted to play with them. They were popular and happy. + +One day, the sky was dark and loud. It was thunder and rain. Mom said, "Come inside, Tom and Lily. It is not safe to play outside now." + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They wanted to play more. They ran away from Mom and hid behind a big tree. + +"Tom, Lily, where are you?" Mom called. "You are being naughty. You will be punished if you do not come inside." + +Tom and Lily laughed. They thought Mom could not find them. They did not care about the thunder and rain. + +But then, a big flash of light came from the sky. It hit the big tree. The tree broke and fell down. Tom and Lily screamed. They were scared and hurt. + +Mom heard them and ran to them. She hugged them and took them inside. She was angry and sad. + +"Tom, Lily, you were very foolish. You could have been killed by the thunder. You did not obey me. You did not respect nature. You are punished. You cannot play outside for a week." + +Tom and Lily cried. They were sorry. They learned their lesson. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you. We will listen to you next time." + +Mom forgave them. She said, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. But you have to be careful and responsible. Thunder and rain are not toys. They are powerful and dangerous. You have to respect them and stay safe." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They hugged Mom. They hoped their friends were safe too. They decided to be good and wise. They wanted to be popular and happy. +Tim and Mia went to the park with Mom. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Tim climbed up the ladder and slid down fast. He laughed and said, "This is fun!" + +Mia wanted to slide too, but she was scared. She looked at the slide and said, "No, no, too high!" Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Mia. You can try the small slide first. It's not so high and not so fast. Come on, I'll help you." + +Mom took Mia to the small slide and held her hand. Mia sat on the slide and slid down slowly. She smiled and said, "This is fun too!" Mom clapped and said, "Good job, Mia! You did it!" + +Tim and Mia slid on the slides again and again. They had a lot of fun. Then they saw a dove on the grass. The dove was white and pretty. It had a shiny ring on its leg. Tim and Mia ran to the dove and tried to touch it. The dove flew away and landed on a trash can. It pecked at a banana peel. + +Tim and Mia followed the dove and climbed on the trash can. They wanted to see the ring. But the trash can was full of garbage. It smelled bad and looked disgusting. Tim and Mia made faces and said, "Yuck!" + +Mom saw them and said, "Tim, Mia, get down from there! That's dirty and dangerous! You don't want to touch the garbage or the dove. They have germs. Come here and wash your hands." + +Tim and Mia got down from the trash can and ran to Mom. They washed their hands with soap and water. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We won't do that again." Mom said, "That's okay. I'm glad you're safe and clean. Now let's go home and have some lunch." Tim and Mia nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We love you." They hugged Mom and left the park. +Lily and Ben like to play catch with their ball. They throw the ball to each other and try not to drop it. Sometimes they run and jump to catch the ball. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they find a big book in the attic. The book has many pictures and words. The book is about history. History is what happened a long time ago. Lily and Ben want to learn about history. They open the book and look at the pictures. + +They see pictures of people and animals and things. They see people wearing funny clothes and hats. They see animals that are big and scary. They see things that are old and broken. They point and ask each other questions. + +"Who is that man with the long beard?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is a king," Ben says. + +"What is that animal with the long neck?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a dinosaur," Lily says. + +"What is that thing that looks like a house?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a castle," Ben says. + +They are very curious and want to know more. They try to read the words, but they are too hard. They wish they could ask someone who knows about history. + +Suddenly, they hear a voice. It is their grandma. She comes to the attic and sees them with the book. + +"Hello, my dear children. What are you doing?" she asks. + +"We are looking at the history book, grandma. But we don't understand it. Can you tell us about history?" they ask. + +"Of course, I can. I love history. This book is very old and cheap. I bought it at a yard sale. But it has many stories and secrets. Come, sit with me, and I will tell you some of them," she says. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They put the ball away and sit with their grandma. They listen to her stories and learn about history. They ask her many questions and she answers them. They are amazed and excited. They think history is very interesting. They thank their grandma and hug her. They love their grandma and her stories. They want to learn more about history. +Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They like to play with their uncle Bob. Uncle Bob is very funny and kind. He tells them stories and jokes. He also has a big car that he lets them ride in. + +One day, uncle Bob comes to visit them. He says, "Hello, Tom and Anna. Do you want to go to the park with me?" Tom and Anna are very happy. They say, "Yes, yes, yes!" They run to get their coats and shoes. They hug their mom and dad and say, "Bye, bye, we love you!" + +Uncle Bob drives them to the park. He plays with them on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They have a lot of fun. They also feed the ducks and eat ice cream. Tom and Anna say, "Thank you, uncle Bob. You are the best uncle ever!" + +But uncle Bob has a bad plan. He wants to take Tom and Anna away from their mom and dad. He is a bad man. He tells them, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me to my car." Tom and Anna trust him. They follow him to his car. + +But when they get to his car, they see something scary. There are ropes and tape and a big bag in his car. Uncle Bob says, "Get in, quick. We have to go now." Tom and Anna are scared. They say, "No, no, no! We want to go back to mom and dad!" They try to run away, but uncle Bob is faster. He grabs them and puts them in the bag. He ties the bag and puts it in his car. He drives away very fast. + +Tom and Anna cry and scream. They want to go back to mom and dad. They want to go back to the park. They want to go back to their home. But uncle Bob does not listen. He does not care. He is a bad man. He has taken Tom and Anna away. They are very sad. They are very scared. They do not know what will happen to them. They do not know if they will ever see their mom and dad again. The end. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big jar of money under their bed. It is their dad's money. He saves it for a rainy day. + +"Wow, look at all this money!" Tom says. "We can buy anything we want!" + +Sam nods. He sees a shiny car in the jar. He wants it very much. He reaches for it. + +But Tom stops him. "No, Sam, we can't take dad's money. It is not ours. He will be very angry if he finds out." + +Sam does not listen. He pulls the car out of the jar. But he pulls too hard. The jar falls and breaks. Money and glass fly everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Tom says. "What have you done? We have to clean this up before dad comes home!" + +They hear dad's car in the driveway. He is home early. They rush to pick up the money and the glass. But there is too much. They can't do it fast enough. + +Dad opens the door. He sees the mess. He sees the broken jar. He sees the boys. + +"What is going on here?" he asks. He is very angry. He is very sad. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They are sorry. They hug dad and say, "We are sorry, dad. We made a mistake. We wanted to play with your money. We did not mean to break your jar. Please forgive us." + +Dad sighs. He hugs them back. He says, "I love you, boys. But you have to learn to respect other people's things. Money is not a toy. It is hard to earn. It is for important things. You have to be careful with it. And you have to be honest with me. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They understand. They say, "We understand, dad. We will not do it again. We will help you fix the jar. We will help you save the money. We will be good boys." + +Dad smiles. He says, "Thank you, boys. I appreciate that. Now let's clean up this mess together. And then we can have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Sam smile. They say, "That sounds great, dad. We love you, dad." + +They clean up the mess together. They have some cookies and milk. They are happy. They are a family. +Lila was a little girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big hill near her house. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She put on her boots and her coat and told her mom she was going out. + +"Be careful, Lila," her mom said. "Don't go too far." + +Lila nodded and ran to the hill. She climbed and climbed until she reached the top. She looked around and saw a lot of trees and flowers. She also saw a small house with a chimney. She was curious and decided to go closer. + +As she walked, she stumbled on a rock and fell down. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She cried a little and rubbed it. Then she heard a voice. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the voice said. + +Lila looked up and saw a man with a long beard and a hat. He was holding a broom and looked angry. He lived in the small house. + +"I'm Lila," she said. "I was just exploring. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you." + +The man frowned and said, "You shouldn't be here. This is my land. Go away." + +Lila was scared and sad. She wanted to be friendly, but the man was not nice. She got up and ran back to the hill. She didn't want to see the man again. + +She reached her house and hugged her mom. She told her what happened and showed her her knee. + +"Ouch, that looks painful," her mom said. "Let me put a band-aid on it. You were very brave, Lila. But next time, be more careful where you go. You never know who you might meet." + +Lila nodded and said, "I know, mom. I won't go to the hill again. It was too unusual." +Lily liked to record her voice with her toy phone. She would sing songs, tell jokes, and make funny noises. She would play back her recordings and laugh. She thought she was very clever. + +One day, she saw a big herb garden in her neighbor's yard. She wanted to record the names of the herbs, because they sounded nice. She climbed over the fence and walked around the garden. She saw mint, rosemary, basil, and lavender. She held her phone close to each herb and said its name. + +But she did not see the neighbor, Mr. Lee, who was working in his shed. He heard Lily's voice and came out to see what was going on. He was not happy to see Lily in his garden. He said, "Hey, what are you doing here? This is my garden, not yours. You are not allowed to touch my herbs. Go away!" + +Lily was scared and ran back to the fence. She dropped her phone on the ground. She climbed over the fence and ran to her house. She was sad and sorry. She did not mean to upset Mr. Lee. She just wanted to record the herbs. + +The next day, she decided to go back and say sorry to Mr. Lee. She knocked on his door and waited. He opened the door and saw Lily. He said, "What do you want?" + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lee. I was wrong to go into your garden and touch your herbs. I was curious and wanted to record their names. I like how they smell and sound. But I should have asked you first. Please forgive me." + +Mr. Lee looked at Lily and saw that she was sincere. He said, "I forgive you, Lily. You are a brave and honest girl. I'm sorry I was angry with you. I like my herbs very much and I don't like anyone to harm them. But I can share them with you, if you want. Do you want to come in and see my shed? I have some tools and books and other things you might find interesting." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please, Mr. Lee. Thank you for being so friendly and kind. Can I bring my phone and record some of your things?" + +Mr. Lee said, "Sure, why not? But only if you promise to be careful and respectful. And maybe you can teach me some of the songs and jokes you record. I like to laugh, too." + +Lily nodded and said, "I promise, Mr. Lee. And I can teach you some songs and jokes. They are very funny." + +They went inside and became friends. Lily learned a lot from Mr. Lee and he learned a lot from Lily. They both enjoyed recording and listening to each other's voices. They both had fun. + +The moral of the story is: Be respectful of other people's property and feelings. Be honest and apologize when you make a mistake. Be friendly and open to learn from others. You might find a new friend and have a good time. +Anna liked to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She danced with her toys, with her mom, and with her dad. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. Dancing made her feel good. + +One night, Anna heard a sound outside her window. She looked and saw a big owl. The owl had big eyes, a big beak, and big wings. The owl looked at Anna and said, "Who, who, who are you?" + +Anna was not scared. She smiled and said, "I am Anna. I like to dance. Do you like to dance?" + +The owl said, "No, I do not like to dance. I like to fly. Flying is important for owls. We fly to find food, to find friends, and to find a home. Flying makes us feel good." + +Anna said, "I see. Flying is important for you. But dancing is important for me. Dancing is fun, dancing is easy, and dancing is beautiful. Dancing makes me feel good." + +The owl said, "Maybe you are right. Maybe dancing is important for you. But I do not know how to dance. Can you teach me how to dance?" + +Anna said, "Yes, I can teach you how to dance. It is not hard. You just have to move your body to the music. Come, I will show you." + +Anna opened her window and invited the owl in. She turned on her radio and played a song. She showed the owl how to move his wings, his feet, and his head. The owl tried to follow her. He was clumsy at first, but he soon got better. He found that dancing was fun, dancing was easy, and dancing was beautiful. Dancing made him feel good. + +Anna and the owl danced together for a long time. They laughed and they sang. They became friends. They learned that they had something in common. They both liked to do what made them feel good. And they both liked to share it with someone else. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they got a big box from their grandma. They were very happy and wanted to see what was inside. They ran to their room and started to unpack the box. + +Lily found a doll with a pretty dress and a hat. She liked it very much and hugged it. Ben found a car with wheels and lights. He liked it very much and made it zoom. They were having fun with their new toys. + +But then, Lily saw Ben's car and wanted it. She said, "Give me your car. It is better than my doll." Ben said, "No, it is mine. You have your doll." Lily got angry and grabbed the car from Ben. Ben got angry and pulled the car back. They started to fight and yell. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw them fighting over the car and the doll. She was not happy. She said, "Stop fighting. You are being ignorant. You should be grateful for what you have and share with each other. Grandma gave you both nice toys because she loves you. You should love each other too." + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They realized they were being ignorant and selfish. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share their toys and play together. They thanked their mom and grandma for the gifts. They learned to be thankful and kind. +Mia and Leo are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. Mia has a doll and Leo has a car. They share and take turns. + +One day, they see a big slide in the park. They want to try it. Mia goes first.

He climbs up the stairs and sits on the slide. He holds his car tight. He says, "Ready, set, go!" and zips down the slide. He laughs and feels happy. + +They do it again and again. They have so much fun. They say, "This is the best slide ever!" + +They hug each other and say, "I love you, best friend!" They feel peaceful and warm. They are glad they have each other.

They had fun making piles of different colors, shapes, and sizes. + +One day, their mom and dad told them they were going on a holiday. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and got in the car. They drove for a long time until they reached a big house by the sea. There were many other children there, too. They were their cousins. + +Lily and Ben wanted to play with their cousins, but they noticed something strange. Their cousins did not sort things like they did. They mixed up their toys, their books, their clothes, and even their food. They did not make piles of different colors, shapes, and sizes. They just played with whatever they liked. + +Lily and Ben did not like that. They thought their cousins were messy and silly. They did not want to play with them. They only wanted to sort things by themselves. + +Their mom and dad saw that Lily and Ben were not having fun. They asked them what was wrong. Lily and Ben told them that their cousins did not sort things like they did. They said they did not want to play with them. + +Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said, "Lily and Ben, we love you very much. We are proud of you for being good at sorting things. But you know, sorting things is not the only way to have fun. Your cousins have fun in their own way, too. They are not messy and silly. They are just unique. Unique means different and special. Everyone is unique in their own way. And that is what makes them interesting and wonderful. You can learn a lot from your cousins if you play with them. And they can learn a lot from you, too. Why don't you give them a chance and see what happens?" + +Lily and Ben thought about what their mom and dad said. They realized they were right. They decided to give their cousins a chance and see what happens. They went to their cousins and said, "Hi, we are Lily and Ben. We like to sort things. Do you want to play with us?" + +Their cousins smiled and said, "Hi, we are Sam, Mia, Jake, and Zoe. We like to mix things. Do you want to play with us?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we do. Let's play together." + +They played together and had a lot of fun. They learned new games, new words, new songs, and new stories. They also taught their cousins how to sort things and why they liked it. They found out that they had many things in common, too. They liked the same colors, the same animals, the same jokes, and the same snacks. + +They became good friends and enjoyed their holiday. They learned that being unique is not a bad thing. It is a good thing. It makes the world more colorful, more fun, and more beautiful. +Lila and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not play outside. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +They saw their dad's vehicle in the garage. It was big and shiny and had four wheels. They wondered what it was like to drive it. They decided to sneak into the garage and pretend to be drivers. + +They climbed into the vehicle and put on the seat belts. They looked at the buttons and levers and dials. They did not know what they did, but they wanted to try them. They pushed and pulled and turned and twisted. They made noises like "vroom" and "beep" and "honk". + +They did not notice that one of the buttons they pushed was the fuel tank release. They did not see that the fuel was spilling out of the vehicle and onto the floor. They did not smell the strong and bad odor. They did not hear their dad coming into the garage. + +Their dad saw the mess and the danger. He shouted, "Lila! Ben! Get out of the vehicle now!" He ran to them and pulled them out of the vehicle. He was angry and scared. He said, "What were you thinking? You could have started a fire! You could have hurt yourselves and the vehicle! You should never touch a vehicle without permission! It is not a toy, it is a tool!" + +Lila and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We were bored and curious. We wanted to have fun. We did not mean to cause trouble." They hugged their dad and apologized. + +Their dad hugged them back and said, "I know you were bored and curious, but you have to be careful and responsible. You have to respect other people's things and follow the rules. You have to ask before you touch something that is not yours. You have to think about the consequences of your actions. You have to learn from your mistakes." + +Lila and Ben nodded and said, "We understand, dad. We will be careful and responsible. We will respect other people's things and follow the rules. We will ask before we touch something that is not ours. We will think about the consequences of our actions. We will learn from our mistakes." + +Their dad smiled and said, "That's good, my children. I love you and I want you to be safe and happy. Now, let's clean up this mess and then we can find something fun and safe to do together." + +The end. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play games. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to race to the top. + +"Who is faster, Tim or Kim?" Tim asks. + +"Kim is faster, Tim is stupid!" Kim says. + +They start to run up the hill. Tim runs very quick. Kim runs slower. She stops to look at a flower. Tim is almost at the top. + +"Tim is not stupid, Kim is slow!" Tim shouts. + +Kim hears Tim. She gets angry. She runs faster. She tries to catch up with Tim. But Tim is too quick. He reaches the top first. + +"Tim wins, Tim succeeds!" Tim says. + +Kim arrives at the top. She is tired and sad. She sees Tim smiling. + +"Tim is faster, Kim is sorry!" Kim says. + +Tim hugs Kim. He is not angry. He is happy. + +"Tim and Kim are twins, Tim and Kim are friends!" Tim says. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and loved to run and bark. + +One day, their mom told them she had to go to university. She said it was a place where grown-ups learned new things. She said she would be back soon and asked them to be good and listen to their dad. + +Sam and Lily said bye to their mom and went outside with Spot. They saw some dark clouds in the sky and felt some drops on their faces. They knew it was going to rain soon, but they wanted to have some fun before going inside. + +"Let's play hide and seek!" said Sam. "I'll count to ten and you hide. Spot, you help me find Lily!" + +"Okay!" said Lily. She ran to the sandbox and dug a hole. She covered herself with sand and waited for Sam to find her. + +Sam counted to ten and opened his eyes. He looked around the yard and saw the swing, the slide and the sandbox. He did not see Lily or Spot. He wondered where they were. + +He walked to the swing and looked behind it. He did not see Lily or Spot. He walked to the slide and looked under it. He did not see Lily or Spot. He walked to the sandbox and saw a mound of sand. He thought Lily or Spot might be hiding there. + +He reached out his hand and touched the sand. He felt something soft and furry. He pulled it out and saw it was Spot. Spot wagged his tail and licked Sam's face. + +"Good boy, Spot!" said Sam. "But where is Lily?" + +He dug deeper into the sand and felt something else. He pulled it out and saw it was Lily. Lily opened her eyes and smiled. + +"Boo!" she said. "You found me!" + +Sam and Lily laughed and hugged. They were happy they had a good hiding place. They did not hear the thunder or see the lightning. They did not notice the rain was pouring down. They did not know their dad was calling them from the door. They did not know their mom was coming back from university. They did not know Spot was deaf. They only knew they had each other and they were having fun. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a hose. They take turns to throw the ball, ride the bike and spray the hose. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog is furry and friendly. He wants to play with Lily and Ben. He chases the ball, runs after the bike and jumps in the hose water. Lily and Ben laugh and pet the dog. + +But then, a man comes to the park. He is angry and mean. He says the dog is his and he wants to take him away. He grabs the dog by the collar and pulls him hard. The dog whines and tries to get free. Lily and Ben are scared and sad. + +They have an idea. They unite and work together. They use the hose to spray the man with water. The man is wet and surprised. He lets go of the dog. The dog runs to Lily and Ben and licks their faces. They hug the dog and smile. + +The man is mad and leaves the park. He says he will come back later. Lily and Ben decide to take the dog home with them. They ask their moms and dads if they can keep the dog. Their moms and dads say yes. They name the dog Furry. They are happy and proud. They have a new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree. Maybe Tom was hiding behind the tree, she thought. + +She ran to the tree and peeked behind it. But she did not see Tom. She saw a small mouse. The mouse was brown and furry and had a long tail. The mouse looked at Lily and squeaked. + +"Hello, mouse," Lily said. "Are you hiding too?" + +The mouse nodded and smiled. It was a cheerful mouse. It liked to play games. + +"Can I play with you?" Lily asked. + +The mouse nodded again and squeaked. It moved aside and made some room for Lily. Lily crawled behind the tree and sat next to the mouse. They became friends. + +Meanwhile, Tom was hiding under a bush. He waited and waited for Lily to find him. He wondered where she was. He heard her voice, but it sounded far away. He heard another voice, but it was not human. It was high and squeaky. + +He got curious and peeked out of the bush. He saw Lily and the mouse behind the tree. They were talking and laughing. They looked happy. + +Tom felt left out. He wanted to play with Lily and the mouse too. He got out of the bush and walked to the tree. + +"Hi, Lily," he said. "Hi, mouse. Can I join you?" + +Lily and the mouse looked at Tom. They smiled and nodded. They moved aside and made some room for Tom. Tom crawled behind the tree and sat next to Lily and the mouse. They became friends. + +They played hide and seek together.

"Look, mom, I painted an elephant!" she says. + +Mom looks at the paper and smiles. "That's a very nice elephant, Anna. I like how you used brown paint. What is the elephant's name?" she asks. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes to give names to her paintings. She remembers a book she read with her mom about elephants.

They had many figures of animals, people and cars. They made stories with their figures and acted them out. + +One day, they decided to act a story about a picnic.

They also took some figures of food and a blanket. + +"Let's go to the park and have a picnic," Sara said, making her figure talk. + +"OK, that sounds fun," Ben said, making his figure talk. + +They put the blanket on the floor and arranged the food figures on it. They had figures of sandwiches, apples, cookies and juice. + +"Wow, this looks delicious," Sara said, making her figure pretend to eat a sandwich. + +"It does, but we have to share with the animals," Ben said, making his figure point to some figures of birds and squirrels. + +"OK, we can give them some crumbs and seeds," Sara said, making her figure break off some pieces of food and throw them to the animals. + +The animals figures came closer and nibbled on the food. Sara and Ben smiled and made happy noises. + +They enjoyed acting their picnic story and playing with their figures. They felt hungry after a while and decided to have a real snack.

It's so pretty!" + +They looked at the diamond with wonder. They had never seen anything like it before. They wondered where it came from and who lost it. + +"Maybe it fell from the sky," Ben said. "Maybe it's a star that came down to earth." + +"Maybe it belongs to a princess," Lila said. "Maybe she wore it on her crown and it slipped off." + +They imagined the princess who owned the diamond. They thought she must be very tall and beautiful and wear a long dress and a shiny crown. They wished they could meet her and give her back her diamond. + +"Hello, children," a voice said. They turned around and saw a lady standing behind them. She was tall and beautiful and wore a long dress and a shiny crown. She smiled at them. + +"Hello, lady," Lila and Ben said. They were surprised and a little scared. + +"Are you a princess?" Lila asked. + +"Yes, I am," the lady said. "And I'm looking for my diamond. I lost it in the park. Have you seen it?" + +Lila and Ben looked at each other. They looked at the diamond in Ben's hand. They felt sad to give it up, but they knew it was the right thing to do. + +"Yes, we have," Ben said. He held out the diamond to the lady. "Here it is. We found it in the sand. We're sorry we took it. We didn't know it was yours." + +The lady took the diamond and thanked them. She put it back on her crown. It sparkled in the sun. + +"You're very kind and honest, children," the lady said. "You deserve a reward. How about a ride in my carriage?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They were happy and excited. They followed the lady to her carriage. It was big and fancy and had horses and a driver. They climbed in and sat next to the lady.

He runs away with it. + +Ben is angry. He runs after the big boy. He wants to get the ball back. He shouts, "Stop! Give it back!" + +The big boy does not stop. He runs to a dark place.

You are not playing the piano right." + +Lily felt sad. She did not mean to make Ben angry. She just wanted to have fun with him. She said to Ben, "I'm sorry, Ben.
