The other people in the village laughed and said he was too old to reach the youth. + +The old man was very sad and decided to prove them wrong. He took a deep breath and started walking.

The owl looked down and saw the twinkle in the child's eyes and thought that this might be an opportunity for a lesson. + +The owl called down to the child, "Young one, the tree is safe for you to swing on. But remember, wisdom brings far greater benefits than swinging ever could." + +The child thought for a moment, then said, "I am so young and I love to swing. But I also want to be wise like you one day." + +The owl welcomed the child's words and said, "Then it is time for you to choose: swing on the tree, or listen to my wisdom." + +The child paused, deep in thought. Then he chose the owl's wisdom and they began to talk. The owl taught him important life lessons, and he was changed in ways that far outweighed the pleasure of just swinging. + +The moral of the story is that there are some times when it's better to use our minds and listen to wisdom, instead of relying on physical activities. +Once upon a time, there lived two good friends, Sara and Toby.

I spent it all on candy. Can I borrow a stamp from Lily?" + +Lily said, "No, you can't. This is my last stamp. And you were not nice to me. You said my card was too simple. You did not work hard on your card. You did not write anything for Grandma. You were not thoughtful." + +Ben felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was not nice to you. I was not careful with my card. I was not thoughtful of Grandma. Can you please forgive me? Can you please share your stamp with me?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I forgive you, Ben.

Now, let's put the onion in the pot with the other vegetables and water. The soup will be ready soon." Her mom said. + +They moved to the stove and added the onion to the soup. Lily smelled the onion and the other vegetables. They smelled good. She was proud of herself for helping her mom. + +"Mom, can I taste the soup?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. The soup is very hot. Let me give you a small spoon and a bowl." Her mom said. + +She ladled some soup into a bowl and blew on it to cool it down. She handed it to Lily with a spoon. Lily tasted the soup. It was delicious. She liked the onion and the other vegetables. + +"Mom, this soup is yummy. Can I have more?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can. You can have as much as you want. You helped me make it, after all. You are a popular cook, Lily. Everyone will love your soup." Her mom said. + +Lily smiled. She was happy. She liked to help her mom cook. She liked to make soup with onion. She liked to be a popular cook. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was there. + +"Look, Tom, there is a hole in the tree. Maybe there is something inside," Lily said. + +"Let's go and find out," Tom said. They climbed the tree carefully and reached the hole. They peeked inside and saw a nest. The nest had four eggs. The eggs were different colors: red, blue, green and yellow. + +"Wow, these eggs are unique. I have never seen eggs like these before," Lily said. + +"Me neither. They are so pretty. Can we touch them?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe they belong to a special bird. Maybe the bird will be angry if we touch them," Lily said. + +"I don't care. I want to touch them. They look so soft and shiny," Tom said. He reached his hand inside the hole and grabbed the yellow egg. He pulled it out and showed it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, I have an egg. It is mine now," Tom said. + +"No, Tom, you can't do that. You have to put it back. It is not yours. It is the bird's," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He held the egg tightly and smiled. He did not see the bird that flew out of the hole. The bird was big and black and had sharp claws and a long beak. The bird saw Tom holding its egg and was very angry. It screeched loudly and attacked Tom. It scratched his face and bit his hand. Tom dropped the egg and screamed. The egg broke and spilled yellow goo on the ground. + +Lily was scared and cried. She tried to help Tom, but the bird was too fast and fierce. It chased them down the tree and across the park. It did not stop until they ran away far from the tree. + +Lily and Tom were hurt and sad. They had learned a hard lesson. They should not have touched the nest. They should have respected the bird and its eggs. They should have left the unique eggs alone. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys. They shout at each other and make a lot of noise. + +Mom and Dad do not like the noise. They tell Anna and Ben to be quiet. They say they have to work and they need quiet. Anna and Ben say sorry and try to be quiet. But they still want the same toys. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a big box in the closet. They open the box and see many new toys. They are very happy. They want to play with all the toys. But they do not share the toys. They grab the toys and pull them. They shout at each other and make a lot of noise. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They are very angry. They go to the room and see the mess. They see the new toys. They say the new toys are not for Anna and Ben. They say the new toys are for the poor children. They say Anna and Ben are terrible. They take away the new toys and all the old toys. They say Anna and Ben have to stay in their room with no toys. They say they have to be quiet. + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They have no toys to play with. They have nothing to do. They do not talk to each other. They are quiet. They wish they had shared the toys. They wish they had not shouted. They wish Mom and Dad were not angry. They have a bad ending. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red fruits. They want to try them. + +"Look, Lily, red fruits! Maybe they are sweet and juicy," Tom says. + +"Let's go and get some, Tom. We can hang from the branches and pick them," Lily says. + +They run to the tree and climb up. They hang from the branches and reach for the fruits. They each take a big bite. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Spicy, spicy, spicy!" Tom and Lily scream. The fruits are not sweet and juicy. They are hot and burn their mouths and skin. + +They spit out the fruits and try to get down. But they are too high and scared. They cry and call for help. + +"Help, help! We are stuck in the tree! The fruits are spicy and hurt us!" they shout. + +But no one hears them. The park is empty. The sun is setting. The birds and bugs are coming out. Tom and Lily are alone and in pain. They wish they never saw the red fruits. They wish they never hung from the branches. They wish they listened to their moms and stayed away from the big tree. They are very sorry and very sad. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a pink pig that could make noises when she pressed its belly. Tom had a blue car that could zoom around the floor. They were having fun, but they also wanted to share their toys with each other. + +"Can I play with your pig, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"OK, but only for a little while. Then you have to give it back," Lily said. + +She handed the pig to Tom and took the car from him. Tom pressed the pig's belly and heard it oink. He smiled and made the pig run after the car. Lily watched him and felt a bit jealous. She wanted her pig back. + +"Tom, can I have my pig now?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, Lily. I'm having fun with it. You can play with the car," Tom said. + +He kept pressing the pig's belly and making it oink louder and louder. Lily felt frustrated. She didn't like the car as much as the pig. She wanted to hear the pig oink too. + +"Tom, please give me my pig. It's mine. You said only for a little while," Lily said. + +She reached for the pig, but Tom pulled it away. He didn't want to share it anymore. He liked the pig too much. + +"No, Lily. It's my pig now. You can have the car. Go away," Tom said. + +He turned his back to Lily and hugged the pig. Lily felt angry and sad. She started to cry. She wanted her pig back. She wanted Tom to be nice to her. + +"Mommy, mommy, Tom took my pig and won't give it back. He's mean," Lily cried. + +Mommy heard Lily's cry and came to the living room. She saw Tom holding the pig and Lily holding the car. She saw their faces and knew what happened. + +"Tom, Lily, what's going on here? Why are you fighting over the toys?" Mommy asked. + +She sat down on the couch and called them to her. Tom and Lily came to her, still holding their toys. + +"Mommy, Tom took my pig and won't give it back. He said it's his now. But it's mine. I love my pig. He's not sharing," Lily said. + +"Mommy, Lily gave me her pig and I gave her my car. But then she wanted her pig back. But I like the pig. It oinks. It's fun. She's not fair," Tom said. + +Mommy looked at them and sighed. She knew they both liked the pig, but they also had to learn to share and take turns. + +"Tom, Lily, listen to me. The pig is Lily's toy. She was nice to let you play with it for a while. But you have to give it back when she asks. That's how you share. Sharing is caring. Do you understand?" Mommy said. + +Tom nodded, but he still looked unhappy. He didn't want to give up the pig. + +"And Lily, you have to be patient and let Tom play with the pig for a while. You can't take it back right away. That's how you take turns. Taking turns is fair. Do you understand?" Mommy said. + +Lily nodded, but she still looked unhappy. She wanted to have the pig right now. + +Mommy smiled and hugged them both. She had an idea. + +"How about this? You can both play with the pig together. You can take turns pressing its belly and making it oink. You can also play with the car together. You can make it zoom around the floor. You can have more fun if you play together. What do you think?" Mommy said. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and then at Mommy. They thought about it and decided to try it. + +"OK, Mommy. We can play together. We can share and take turns," Tom said. + +"OK, Mommy. We can play together. We can share and take turns," Lily said. + +They gave Mommy a kiss and then went back to the floor. They handed their toys to each other and started to play. They pressed the pig's belly and made it oink. They made the car zoom around the floor. They laughed and smiled. They were happy. + +Mommy watched them and smiled too. She was proud of them. They learned to share and take turns. They learned to play together. They were good kids. +One day, Sam and his mom were playing with his toy cars in the living room. Sam had a red car and a blue car, and he liked to make them race and crash. His mom had a yellow car and a green car, and she liked to make them drive safely and park. + +"Look, mom, my red car is faster than your yellow car!" Sam said, zooming his car past hers. + +"But my yellow car is more intelligent than your red car," his mom said, smiling. "It knows how to avoid the tornado." + +Sam looked out the window and saw a big, dark cloud spinning in the sky. He was scared. He had heard about tornadoes on TV, and how they could blow away houses and trees and cars. + +"Mom, what is a tornado?" he asked, dropping his car. + +"A tornado is a very strong wind that can make a lot of damage," his mom explained, picking him up. "But don't worry, we are safe inside our house. We just have to go to the basement and wait until it passes." + +She carried him to the basement, where they had a flashlight, a radio, and some snacks. She turned on the radio and listened to the news. + +"The tornado is moving away from our town," the radio said. "It is not a very big one, but it has caused some problems. Some people have lost their roofs, their fences, or their windows. They will have to replace them later." + +"Replace them?" Sam asked, curious. + +"Yes, replace them," his mom said. "That means to get new ones or fix the old ones. For example, if your red car breaks, you can replace it with a new one, or you can glue it back together." + +"Oh, I see," Sam said, nodding. "But I don't want to replace my red car. I like it the way it is." + +"Me too," his mom said, hugging him. "And I don't want to replace you either. You are my favorite son." + +They smiled at each other and waited for the tornado to go away. They were glad they had each other and their toy cars. They were safe and happy. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing was to climb the big tree. The big tree had many branches and leaves. It was fun to pretend they were birds or monkeys. + +One day, they saw a new thing in the big tree. It was a nest. A nest with eggs. Sam and Lily wanted to see the eggs. They climbed higher and higher. They were careful not to touch the nest. They did not want to scare the mama bird. + +But when they got close to the nest, they heard a loud snap. The branch they were on had a crack. A big crack. The branch was breaking. Sam and Lily were scared. They were too high to jump. They were in danger. + +They shouted for help. They hoped someone would hear them. They hoped the mama bird would not be angry. They held on to the branch. They waited. + +Soon, they saw a man. He was wearing a hat and a badge. He was a park ranger. He had a ladder. He came to rescue them. He climbed the ladder and reached the branch. He helped Sam and Lily down. He was very kind. He told them they were brave. He told them they should not climb the big tree. It was old and dangerous. He told them they should look at the nest from the ground. He told them they could come back when the eggs hatched. + +Sam and Lily thanked the park ranger. They were happy he saved them. They were sorry they hurt the big tree. They promised they would not climb it again. They went to the slide, the swing, and the run. They still liked to play in the park. But they liked the park ranger more. He was their hero. +Sara was a little girl who liked to play with her toys in her crib. She had a teddy bear, a ball, a book and a phone. The phone was her favorite toy, because it could ring and make funny sounds. She liked to pretend she was talking to her friends or her grandma. + +One day, Sara heard a loud noise outside her window. She looked and saw an enormous truck. It was red and shiny, and it had a big ladder and a hose. She wondered what it was doing there. She wanted to see more, but she was too small to climb out of her crib. + +She grabbed her phone and pressed the button. It rang and rang, but no one answered. She tried again and again, but it was no use. She felt sad and scared. She wanted her mommy or daddy to come and tell her what was going on. + +She started to cry and shout. "Mommy! Daddy! Help me! There is a big truck outside!" + +Her mommy heard her and ran to her room. She saw Sara in her crib, holding her phone and crying. She also saw the truck outside. She smiled and hugged Sara. + +"Don't worry, sweetie. It's just a fire truck. They are here to help. There is a fire in the building next door, but it's under control. They are putting out the flames and making sure everyone is safe. You are safe too, my love. Nothing will hurt you." + +Sara stopped crying and looked at her mommy. She felt better and calmed down. She asked her mommy, "Can I talk to the fire truck?" + +Her mommy laughed and said, "Sure, why not? Maybe they will say hello to you. Here, let me help you. We can use your phone and pretend we are calling them." + +She took Sara's phone and dialed a number. She put it on speaker and said, "Hello, is this the fire truck?" + +A voice answered, "Hello, this is the fire truck. Who is this?" + +Sara smiled and said, "This is Sara. I am in my crib. I like your truck. It is enormous and red. Thank you for helping." + +The voice said, "You're welcome, Sara. We are happy to help. You are very brave and polite. We like you too. Do you want to hear our siren?" + +Sara said, "Yes, please!" + +The voice said, "Okay, here it goes. Beep beep! Woo woo!" + +Sara giggled and clapped her hands. She said, "That is awesome! Thank you, fire truck!" + +The voice said, "You're welcome, Sara. Have a nice day. Goodbye!" + +Sara said, "Goodbye, fire truck!" + +She hung up the phone and hugged her mommy. She said, "I love you, mommy. And I love the fire truck too." + +Her mommy said, "I love you too, Sara. And I'm proud of you. You are a smart and kind girl. Now, how about we read a book together?" + +Sara said, "Yes, please!" + +They snuggled in the crib and read a book. Sara felt happy and safe. She liked her crib and her toys. And she liked the fire truck too. It was her new friend. +Lily liked to play with her friend Ben. They had many toys, but Lily's favorite was a yellow ball. She liked to bounce it and throw it and catch it. + +One day, Lily and Ben were playing in the park. Lily had her yellow ball and Ben had his red car. They took turns to play with each other's toys. Lily liked Ben's car, but she loved her ball more. + +Then, a big boy came to the park. He saw Lily's yellow ball and wanted it. He ran to Lily and grabbed the ball from her hands. He said, "This is my ball now. Go away!" + +Lily was very sad and angry. She wanted her ball back. She said, "No, that is my ball. Give it back to me!" But the big boy did not listen. He ran away with the ball. + +Lily ran to Ben and asked for his help. She said, "Ben, please help me. The big boy took my ball. Can you request him to give it back?" Ben nodded. He was a good friend. He said, "Yes, Lily. I will help you. Come on, let's go." + +Ben and Lily ran after the big boy. They caught up with him and Ben said, "Hey, you. That is not your ball. That is Lily's ball. She loves it very much. Please give it back to her. That is a nice thing to do." + +The big boy looked at Ben and Lily. He saw that they were brave and kind. He felt sorry for what he did. He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Here is your ball, Lily. I hope you forgive me." He handed the ball to Lily. + +Lily smiled and took her ball. She said, "Thank you, big boy. I forgive you. Do you want to play with us?" The big boy nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Ben. You are good friends." + +Lily, Ben, and the big boy played together in the park. They shared their toys and had fun. They became friends. Lily was happy. She hugged her yellow ball and said, "This is the best day ever." +Tommy was a brown dog who liked to play in the mud. He would run and jump and roll in the wet dirt with his friends. He had so much fun that he did not want to go home. + +But his mother was waiting for him at the door. She was not happy to see him so dirty. She said, "Tommy, you need to bathe. You are all muddy and smelly. Come with me to the tub." + +Tommy did not want to bathe. He said, "No, mother. I do not like water. It is cold and wet. I like mud. It is warm and soft. Please let me stay dirty." + +His mother shook her head. She said, "No, Tommy. You have to bathe. It is good for you. It will make you clean and healthy. And you will smell nice. If you do not bathe, you will get sick and itchy. And no one will want to play with you. Now come with me to the tub." + +Tommy saw that his mother was serious. He did not want to get sick or itchy. He did not want to lose his friends. He decided to listen to his mother. He said, "Okay, mother. I will bathe. But can I play in the mud again tomorrow?" + +His mother smiled. She said, "Yes, Tommy. You can play in the mud again tomorrow. But only if you promise to bathe after. Deal?" + +Tommy nodded. He said, "Deal, mother. Thank you for caring for me. I love you." + +His mother hugged him. She said, "I love you too, Tommy. Now let's go to the tub and make some bubbles." + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your mother. She knows what is best for you. And always bathe after playing in the mud. +Lila was a big girl. She had a baby brother, Max. Max was very small and could not speak. He only made noises like "wah" and "gah". Lila liked to speak to Max and tell him stories. + +One day, Lila found a lemon in the kitchen. She wanted to show it to Max. She said, "Look, Max, this is a lemon. It is yellow and round. Do you want to try it?" She peeled the lemon and gave Max a piece. Max put it in his mouth and made a funny face. He spit it out and cried. The lemon was bitter. It made his mouth hurt. + +Lila felt sorry for Max. She said, "I'm sorry, Max. I didn't know the lemon was bitter. It is not good to eat. Here, have some water. It will make you feel better." She gave Max a cup of water and hugged him. Max stopped crying and smiled. He said, "Lah". Lila was happy. She said, "Did you say 'Lah'? That sounds like 'Lila'. Are you trying to speak to me, Max?" She kissed him and said, "I love you, Max. You are my baby brother." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big red tomato on a plant. They want to eat it. + +"Let's pick the tomato," Tom says. "It looks yummy." + +"No, we can't," Sam says. "The tomato belongs to Mr. Lee. He is rich and has many plants. He will be angry if we take his tomato." + +But Tom does not listen. He picks the tomato and runs away. Sam follows him. They hide behind a tree and bite the tomato. It is juicy and sweet. + +But then they hear a loud voice. It is Mr. Lee. He sees them with his tomato. He is very angry. + +"Hey, you two! Give me back my tomato! You are bad and rude. You have to pay for my tomato. It is not yours. It belongs to me!" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They drop the tomato and run away. They say sorry to Mr. Lee. They feel bad and sad. They learn a lesson. They should not take things that belong to others. They should ask first. They should be good and polite. +Anna was hungry. She wanted to eat a banana. She walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She saw a big yellow banana on the top shelf. She reached for it with her hand. + +But then she heard a loud roar. She turned around and saw a big brown bear. The bear was standing on two legs and had sharp teeth and claws. The bear looked angry and hungry. Anna was fearful. She dropped the banana and screamed. + +"Help! Help! There is a bear in the kitchen!" she cried. + +Her mom and dad heard her scream. They ran to the kitchen and saw the bear. They were fearful too. They grabbed Anna and ran to the living room. They locked the door and called the police. + +"Anna, are you okay?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom. I'm okay. But I'm still hungry," Anna said. + +Her dad hugged her and smiled. + +"Don't worry, sweetie. The police will come soon and chase the bear away. Then we can get you another banana. And maybe some ice cream too," he said. + +Anna smiled too. She was glad her mom and dad were with her. She hoped the bear would leave soon. She wondered how the bear got into the refrigerator. Maybe he liked bananas too. +Lily and Ben liked to play in the park. They had a toy phone that could record sounds. They wanted to record the sounds of the birds, the wind and the water. + +They walked on the path that led to the pond. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He looked poor and sad. He had a dirty coat and a torn hat. He had no friends and no food. + +"Let's record him," Ben said. "He might say something funny or weird." + +"No, Ben, that's not nice," Lily said. "He is a person, not a toy. He might feel bad if we record him." + +But Ben did not listen. He sneaked behind the bench and pressed the record button. He hoped to hear something silly or scary. + +But what he heard was a song. A beautiful song that the man sang softly to himself. A song of hope and faith and love. A song that made Ben feel ashamed and sorry. + +He stopped the recording and ran back to Lily. He showed her the phone and played the song. + +"Wow, he has a wonderful voice," Lily said. "He is not poor, he is rich in his heart." + +Ben nodded. He felt bad for being mean and rude. He wanted to say sorry to the man and give him something nice. + +He and Lily looked in their backpacks. They found a sandwich, a cookie and a juice box. They walked to the bench and smiled at the man. + +"Hello, sir," Lily said. "We heard your song and we liked it very much. You have a gift. We want to share our lunch with you. Can we sit with you and listen to more songs?" + +The man looked surprised and touched. He smiled back and nodded. He thanked them and accepted their food. He invited them to sit with him and sang more songs for them. He told them stories of his life and his dreams. + +Lily and Ben felt happy and grateful. They learned a lesson. They learned not to judge people by their looks, but by their hearts. They learned to be kind and generous. They learned to appreciate the beauty of music and friendship. They learned to record not only sounds, but also memories. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the sandpit at the park. They had a spade each and made big hills and holes. Sometimes they joked with each other and pretended to bury their feet or hide their spades. + +One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Ben. He wanted to play with Lily and Tom, but he did not have a spade. He asked Lily if he could borrow hers, but she said no. She said it was her spade and she needed it. Ben felt sad and angry. He tried to grab Lily's spade, but she held it tight. They started to pull and shout. + +Tom saw what was happening and he did not like it. He wanted to have fun, not fight. He had an idea. He went to Ben and said, "Hey, do you want to joke with Lily? I have a spade for you. You can use it to make a big hill and then surprise her." Ben liked the idea and smiled. He took Tom's spade and followed him. + +Lily was still holding her spade and looking cross. She did not see Tom and Ben behind her. They worked together and made a big hill of sand. Then they shouted, "Boo!" and threw some sand at Lily. Lily was startled and then laughed. She saw that Tom had given his spade to Ben and that they were joking with her. She said, "That was a good joke. You got me. Do you want to play with us?" Ben said, "Yes, please. I'm sorry I was mean. Can we share the spades?" Lily said, "Of course. We can all be friends." They hugged and then played in the sandpit. They made more hills and holes and jokes. They had a lot of fun. The park was peaceful and happy. +Sara was a wise girl who liked to skip and read letters. She had many books with letters and pictures that she could read by herself. She also liked to write letters to her friends and family. She had a big box where she kept all her letters and stamps. + +One day, she wanted to write a letter to her grandma, who lived far away. She took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote: "Dear Grandma, I love you very much. I hope you are happy and healthy. I miss you a lot. I like to skip and read letters. Do you like to skip and read letters too? Please write back to me. Love, Sara." + +She put the letter in an envelope and stuck a stamp on it. Then she put on her coat and hat and went outside. She skipped all the way to the mailbox, holding her letter tightly. She saw a man in a blue uniform who was putting letters in the mailbox. He smiled at her and said: "Hello, little girl. Do you have a letter to mail?" + +Sara nodded and showed him her letter. He took it and said: "This is a very nice letter. Who is it for?" + +Sara said: "It is for my grandma. She lives far away. I love her very much." + +The man said: "That is very sweet of you. I'm sure your grandma will love your letter too. I will take good care of it and deliver it to her as soon as possible." + +Sara said: "Thank you, mister. You are very kind." + +The man said: "You're welcome, Sara. You are a very wise girl. Keep skipping and reading letters. They will make you happy and smart." + +Sara smiled and said: "Bye, mister. Have a good day." + +She skipped back to her home, feeling happy and proud. She hoped her grandma would write back to her soon. She knew her grandma was also a wise woman who liked to skip and read letters. +Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they both want to play with the huge truck. Sam grabs it first, but Mia pulls it away. They start to yell and tug at the truck. + +Their mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "You are disturbing me. I need some time to work. You have to share your toys and play nicely. Or else you will have no toys at all." + +Sam and Mia feel sorry. They do not want to lose their toys. They say, "Sorry, mom. We will share and play nicely." They give each other a hug and decide to take turns with the huge truck. They also find some other toys to play with. They make a lot of fun noises, but not too loud. They do not disturb their mom anymore. Their mom smiles and says, "Good job, Sam and Mia. I am proud of you." +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Anna had a white teddy bear that she loved very much. She called him Snowy and hugged him all the time. + +"Can I play with Snowy?" Ben asked Anna. + +"No, he is mine. You have your own toys," Anna said. + +"But I like Snowy. He is so soft and white. Please, Anna, let me play with him for a little bit," Ben said. + +Anna did not want to share Snowy. She was afraid that Ben would make him dirty or tear him. She said, "No, Ben, you can't play with Snowy. You have to mind me. I am older than you." + +Ben was sad and angry. He wanted to play with Snowy. He thought Anna was mean and selfish. He waited until Anna was not looking and grabbed Snowy from her arms. He ran away with him to his room. + +Anna saw Ben take Snowy and screamed. She ran after him and tried to get Snowy back. They both pulled and tugged on Snowy. They did not hear their mom come in. + +"Stop it, you two! What are you doing?" Mom said. + +They both looked at mom and saw that she was very angry. They also saw that Snowy was ripped in half. His white stuffing was coming out. They both felt very bad. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I just wanted to play with Snowy," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I should have shared Snowy with you," Anna said. + +Mom sighed and said, "It's too late to say sorry now. You both ruined Snowy. He was a gift from grandma. How do you think she would feel if she saw him like this?" + +They both said, "We don't know." + +Mom said, "You both need to learn to share and be nice to each other. You are brother and sister. You should love each other, not fight. Now go to your rooms and think about what you did. You are both in time out." + +Anna and Ben went to their rooms. They both felt very tired and sad. They wished they had not fought over Snowy. They wished they had played nicely together. They wished they could say sorry to Snowy and grandma. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Sara and Ben were very happy. It was almost Christmas and they wanted to decorate their house. They had a big box of shiny things to put on the tree and the walls. But they had a problem. They had no tape or glue to stick the shiny things on the window. + +They asked their mom for help. She said she was busy making cookies and they had to wait. Sara and Ben did not want to wait. They wanted to decorate the window now. They looked around the house for something to use. They saw a huge jar of honey on the kitchen table. + +They had an idea. They took the jar of honey and ran to the window. They dipped the shiny things in the honey and stuck them on the glass. They made a star, a snowman, a bell and a candy cane. They were very proud of their work. They smiled and clapped. + +But they did not see the bees outside. The bees smelled the honey and flew to the window. They saw the shiny things and thought they were flowers. They wanted to get the honey. They buzzed and bumped against the glass. They made a loud noise. + +Sara and Ben heard the noise and turned around. They saw the bees and screamed. They ran to their mom and told her what they did. She was not happy. She said they made a big mess and they had to clean it up. She said they should not use honey to decorate the window. She said they should use tape or glue next time.

They saw dogs and cats and birds. They saw flowers and trees and houses. They looked at the map and checked if they were going the right way. + +But they did not see a big hole in the ground. It was covered by some leaves and sticks. Ben stepped on the hole and fell in. He screamed and cried. Lily was scared. She tried to help Ben. She reached for his hand. But she could not pull him out.

He had a shovel and a truck. He was working on the road. He saw Ben and Lily and the hole. He ran to them and said, "Don't worry, kids. I'll get you out. I'm sorry, I should have put a sign to prevent people from falling in. I was just going to get one." + +He put his shovel in the hole and lifted Ben out. He gave him a hug and checked if he was hurt. He was not hurt, just dirty and scared. He gave him the map and said, "Here's your map. It's a nice map. Where are you going?" Ben said, "We're going to the park. Mom gave us the map." The man said, "The park is not far. Just go straight and turn left. You'll see it soon. But be careful, there are more holes on the way. I'll put some signs now." + +He helped Lily and Ben cross the road and waved goodbye. Lily and Ben thanked him and smiled. They followed the map and soon they saw the park.

Tim and Sam took the axe and went to the pile of logs. Tim was older and stronger, so he chopped the wood first. Sam watched and waited for his turn. + +"Can I chop now?" Sam asked. + +"Not yet, you are too small," Tim said. "You might hurt yourself." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He wanted to chop wood like his brother. He did not like to wait. He saw a small log that looked easy to chop. He grabbed the axe from Tim and swung it at the log. + +But the axe was too heavy and sharp for Sam. He missed the log and hit his foot instead. He felt a lot of pain and started to cry. He dropped the axe and fell to the ground. + +"Sam, what did you do?" Tim shouted. He ran to his brother and saw the blood on his foot. He was scared and sorry. He did not mean to make Sam suffer. + +He called their dad, who came quickly with a bandage and a hug. He wrapped Sam's foot and carried him to the cabin. He told him he was brave and he would be okay. He also told him he should listen to his brother and be careful with the axe. + +Sam felt better, but he also felt sorry.

They ran to the slide, but there was a long line of other kids waiting for their turn. + +"Let's delay and play something else first," Sara said. "Maybe the line will be shorter later." + +But Ben did not want to delay. He wanted to go on the slide right away. He pushed past the other kids and tried to climb up the ladder. The other kids got angry and shouted at him. Ben felt bad and ran away. + +Sara looked for Ben, but she could not find him. She was worried and sad. She asked the other kids if they saw him, but they did not know. She searched all over the park, but he was nowhere to be seen. + +Finally, she saw him sitting on a bench, crying. She ran to him and hugged him. "I'm sorry, Sara," Ben said. "I was rude and selfish. I should have listened to you and delayed. Now I lost my turn and made everyone mad." + +"It's okay, Ben," Sara said. "I forgive you. But you have to learn to be patient and polite. Sometimes you have to wait for what you want. And you have to respect the other kids and their feelings. That's how you make friends and have fun." + +Ben nodded and wiped his tears. He said sorry to the other kids and asked if he could join the line. They accepted his apology and let him in. Sara and Ben waited together until it was their turn to go on the slide.

He tells Sara to reverse. He means to turn the sled around. Sara tries to do it. She pulls hard on the rope. The sled turns a little bit, but not enough. + +They are almost at the fence. They close their eyes. They wait for the bump. But it doesn't come. They open their eyes. They see Spot. He has grabbed the rope with his teeth. He has pulled the sled away from the fence. He has saved them. + +They are happy and relieved. They hug Spot and thank him. He wags his tail. He is a good dog. They decide to go back to the house. They have had enough of the sled.

She says, "Sara, why is your book upside down?" Sara says, "Oh, I did not know, mom. I am sorry, mom." Her mom says, "It's okay, Sara. But I think you need to learn how to read better. Maybe we can practice later. But first, can I see your dolls? I want to see how pretty they are." Sara says, "No, mom. You cannot see my dolls. They are sleeping. They are very tired. They need to rest." Her mom says, "Really? That's strange. I thought you liked to play with your dolls. Why are they sleeping?" Sara says, "They are sleeping because they are bored, mom. They have nothing to do. They have no fun." Her mom says, "That's sad, Sara. Maybe you can make them some fun. Maybe you can give them some new clothes or hair. Do you want to do that?"

Can you fix it?" + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "Oh, honey, I'm sorry. Spot didn't mean to hurt your bathrobe. He was just playing. But don't worry, I can fix it. I can sew the holes and make it look like new. It will take some time, but it will heal. Just like a cut or a scrape. You have to be patient and gentle with your bathrobe. And with Spot. He loves you, you know." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you. And I love Spot, too. But he has to be careful with my things. Especially my bathrobe. It's my favorite." + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, sweetie. It's a very nice bathrobe. And you look very cute in it. Come on, let's go and give Spot a treat and a hug. He's waiting for you outside.

But you have to be careful. And you have to follow the rules. Water is for the bath or the pool or the sink. Not for the floor. Now, help me clean up.

She worked at a place where they helped people who were sick or hurt. Tommy did not want to go, but his mom said he had to.

She says Lily's sweater is not as important as the joy she gained from playing with Ben. Anna agrees and hugs her mom and Lily. She thinks she had a good day. +Lily wanted to send a gift to her grandma, who lived far away. She found a pretty book with many pictures and stories that she liked. She asked her mom to help her wrap the book with paper and ribbon. + +"Can we go to the post office now, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, dear, let's go. But we have to be careful with the gift, okay? We don't want it to get damaged or lost," mom said. + +They walked to the post office, holding hands. Lily carried the gift in her arms. She was very happy and excited to send it to her grandma. + +But when they got to the post office, there was a long line of people waiting. Lily got bored and restless. She started to wiggle and squirm. She dropped the gift on the floor. + +"Oh no, Lily, be careful!" mom said. She picked up the gift and checked it. The paper was torn and the ribbon was loose. The book was still okay, but it looked messy. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to be careless," Lily said. She felt sad and sorry. + +"It's okay, Lily. Accidents happen. But we have to fix the gift before we send it. Let's find some tape and scissors," mom said. + +They found some tape and scissors at the counter. Mom helped Lily to fix the gift. They taped the paper and tied the ribbon. The gift looked better, but not as pretty as before. + +"Will grandma still like it, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course she will, Lily. She will love it, because it's from you. And she will know that you tried your best to wrap it. The most important thing is that you love her and want to make her happy," mom said. + +They gave the gift to the postman. He put it in a big box with other gifts. He said he would send it to grandma soon. + +"Bye bye, gift. Have a safe trip. I love you, grandma," Lily said. + +She waved to the gift. She hoped grandma would get it soon and like it. She hugged mom and thanked her for helping her. Mom hugged her back and smiled. She was proud of Lily for being brave and kind. +Lily liked to draw and paint. She was very creative. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and stars. She wanted to share her pictures with her grandma, who lived far away. + +She asked her mom, "Can I mail my pictures to grandma?" Her mom said, "Yes, you can. We need to put them in an envelope and write her address. Then we can go to the post office and give them to the mailman." + +Lily was happy. She put her pictures in a big envelope and wrote her grandma's name and address. She drew a heart and a smiley face on the envelope. She held it tight as they walked to the post office. + +At the post office, they saw a giant. He was very tall and had a big beard. He wore a blue uniform and a hat. He was the mailman. Lily was scared. She hid behind her mom. + +Her mom said, "Don't be afraid, Lily. He is a nice giant. He will take your pictures to grandma. He likes to see children's art. Do you want to say hello to him?" + +Lily nodded. She came out from behind her mom and said, "Hello, Mr. Giant. I made these pictures for my grandma. Can you mail them to her, please?" + +The giant smiled. He took the envelope and said, "Hello, Lily. You are very creative. Your pictures are beautiful. I will mail them to your grandma. She will be very happy to see them. Thank you for sharing your art with me." + +Lily smiled back. She said, "Thank you, Mr. Giant. You are very nice. Have a good day." + +The giant waved and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You have a good day, too." + +Lily and her mom left the post office. They felt happy. They knew that grandma would love Lily's pictures. And they made a new friend, the giant mailman. +Lily liked to play outside when it rained. She put on her boots and coat and ran to the garden. She saw many puddles on the grass and the path. She jumped in the puddles and made a big splash. She laughed and clapped her hands. + +She saw a tall tree in the corner of the garden. It had many green leaves and brown branches. She wanted to see what was on the top of the tree. She walked to the tree and tried to climb it. But the tree was too tall and the bark was too wet. She slipped and fell on the ground. She hurt her knee and cried. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to the garden. She saw Lily on the ground and ran to her. She hugged her and kissed her knee. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's just a little scratch. Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate. You can try to climb the tree another day when it's dry." She took Lily's hand and led her to the house. Lily smiled and nodded. She still liked to play in the rain, but she learned to be careful with tall trees. +Sam and Lily were in the classroom. They liked to play with the toys and the books. But they did not like the blackboard. The blackboard was big and hard and had strange marks on it. The teacher said the marks were letters and numbers, but Sam and Lily did not know what they meant. + +One day, the teacher left the classroom for a minute. She told Sam and Lily to sit quietly and wait for her. But Sam and Lily were bored. They wanted to have some fun. They saw the blackboard and had an idea. + +"Let's eat the blackboard!" Sam said to Lily. "Maybe it tastes good!" + +Lily nodded. She was hungry and curious. They went to the blackboard and took a bite. It did not taste good. It tasted like dirt and chalk. They spat it out and made a face. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. "This is not food!" + +"Let's try another bite!" Sam said. "Maybe it gets better!" + +They took another bite. It did not get better. It got worse. Their teeth hurt and their mouths were dry. They spat it out again and coughed. + +"Stop!" Lily said. "This is bad for us!" + +But Sam did not listen. He wanted to eat the whole blackboard. He thought it was a game. He took a big bite and swallowed it. He felt a pain in his throat and his stomach. He tried to scream, but he could not. + +Lily saw Sam turn red and fall to the floor. She was scared and sad. She ran to him and shook him. He did not move. He did not breathe. + +The teacher came back and saw what happened. She was shocked and angry. She called for help, but it was too late. Sam was gone. + +Lily cried and cried. She wished she never ate the blackboard. She wished Sam was still alive. She learned a hard lesson. Eating the blackboard was a very bad idea. +Tommy was a little boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes, but his favorite was a red car that could go very fast and make loud noises. He liked to pretend that he was a racer and zoom around the room with his car. + +One day, he saw a mouse in his room. The mouse was small and gray and had a long tail. Tommy thought the mouse was funny and wanted to play with it. He chased the mouse with his red car, making it run and hide under the bed. He laughed and said, "Come out, mouse! I want to be your friend!" + +The mouse was scared of Tommy and his red car. It did not want to play with him. It wanted to find a safe place to stay. It saw a hole in the wall and ran towards it. But Tommy was faster and blocked the hole with his red car. He said, "Ha ha, I got you, mouse! Now you have to play with me!" + +The mouse was trapped and had no choice. It tried to be nice to Tommy and said, "Please, little boy, let me go. I don't like your car. It is too loud and too fast. It hurts my ears and my feet. I just want to go home." + +Tommy did not listen to the mouse. He thought the mouse was silly and boring. He said, "No, mouse, you have to stay with me. You are my new toy. I will make you fancy and dress you up. You will like it, you will see." + +He took the mouse and put it in his red car. He tied a ribbon around its neck and a hat on its head. He said, "Look, mouse, you are so fancy now! You are the best toy ever!" + +The mouse felt very unhappy and uncomfortable. It could not breathe well and it could not move. It wished Tommy would let it go. It saw a button on the car and hoped it would help. It pressed the button with its nose. + +The button was the reverse button. The car started to go backwards very fast. It hit the wall and made a loud crash. The car broke into pieces and the mouse flew out. It was free, but it was also hurt. It had a cut on its tail and a bump on its head. It limped away and found another hole to hide. + +Tommy was shocked and sad. He saw his red car and his mouse were gone. He cried and said, "Oh no, my car, my mouse, my toys! What have I done? I was so mean and selfish. I should have listened to the mouse and let it go. Now I have nothing to play with." + +The moral of the story is: Do not force others to do what you want. Be kind and respectful to everyone, even if they are different from you. You may lose what you love if you are not careful. +Tom and Lily like to play with blocks. They make big towers and houses and cars with them. Sometimes they pretend they are in a big city with many people and noises. + +One day, they decide to make a stadium with their blocks. A stadium is a place where many people go to watch games and cheer. Tom and Lily work hard to make a big circle with blocks and put some people inside. They are very happy with their stadium. + +But then, their baby brother Ben comes into the room. He sees the blocks and wants to play too. He crawls to the stadium and grabs some blocks. He pulls and pushes and throws them. He does not know he is breaking the stadium. + +Tom and Lily see what Ben is doing and they are very angry. They shout at him and try to stop him. But Ben does not listen. He thinks it is fun to break the blocks. He laughs and claps his hands. + +Tom and Lily cry and run to their mom. They tell her what Ben did. Mom comes to the room and sees the mess. She is not happy. She picks up Ben and tells him he is naughty. She says he has to say sorry to Tom and Lily and help them fix the stadium. Ben does not like that. He cries and kicks his legs. But Mom does not let him go. She makes him say sorry and give Tom and Lily a hug. Then she helps them put the blocks back together. Tom and Lily are still sad, but they forgive Ben. They hope he will learn to play nicely with their blocks. +Tom likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them go fast and make noises. Sometimes he makes them crash and flip over. + +One day, he finds a new car in his toy box. It is red and shiny and has a button on the roof. Tom wonders what the button does. He pushes it and the car makes a loud beep. Then it starts to move by itself. Tom is surprised and happy. He follows the car as it zooms around the room. + +The car goes under the table, around the chair, and over the rug. It is very smart and avoids hitting anything. Tom thinks it is the best car ever. He wants to see how far it can go. He takes a measure from his dad's toolbox and puts it on the floor. He makes the car go past the measure and counts the numbers. The car goes very far. + +But then, the car reaches the wall. It cannot go any further. Tom expects it to stop or turn around. But it does not. Instead, it pushes the button on the roof again. The car makes another loud beep. Then it starts to reverse. It goes backwards very fast. Tom is shocked and scared. He tries to catch the car, but it is too quick. + +The car reverses past the measure, over the rug, around the chair, and under the table. It does not avoid anything. It hits the table leg and makes it shake. It hits the chair and makes it fall. It hits the rug and makes it slide. It makes a lot of noise and mess. Tom is worried and sad. He does not like the car anymore. He wants it to stop. + +He hears his mom coming. She is alert and angry. She sees the car and the mess. She sees Tom and the measure. She is not happy. She takes the car and the measure away. She tells Tom to clean up and to be careful. She tells him to never play with that car again. Tom is sorry and sad. He wishes he never pushed the button. He wishes he never found the car. He wishes he played with his other cars instead. He learns a lesson. He does not like to reverse. +Tom likes to help his mom with the clothes. He sees the iron on the table. The iron is hot and makes steam. Mom says, "Do not touch the iron, Tom. It can hurt you." Tom nods and waits. + +Mom takes a shirt from the basket. She puts it on the board. She moves the iron on the shirt. The shirt becomes smooth and nice. Mom smiles and says, "Good job, iron." She removes the shirt from the board. She folds it and puts it in the pile. + +Tom wants to help too. He sees another shirt in the basket. He takes it and puts it on the board. He reaches for the iron. But mom sees him and says, "No, Tom. The iron is not for you. It is too hot and heavy. You can help me with something else." + +Mom gives Tom a cool cloth. She says, "You can use this cloth to wipe the table. The table is wet from the steam. The cloth is cool and soft. You can make the table dry and clean." Tom likes the cloth. He wipes the table with it. He makes circles and lines. He says, "Look, mom. I am helping too." Mom says, "Yes, Tom. You are a good helper. Thank you, cloth." She hugs Tom and kisses him. Tom smiles and says, "You are welcome, mom." +Tom and Lily were playing in the dark. They liked to make shadows with their flashlight. Tom had a long flashlight that was very bright. Lily had a small flashlight that was not so bright. Tom wanted to make bigger shadows than Lily. He turned his flashlight on and off very fast. He made his shadow look like a giant. + +Lily did not like that. She wanted to make her own shadows. She turned her flashlight on and off too. She made her shadow look like a bird. But Tom's flashlight was too bright. He made his shadow cover Lily's shadow. Lily could not see her bird anymore. + +Lily was angry. She said, "Stop it, Tom! You are not nice. Let me see my bird." Tom did not stop. He said, "No, Lily. My giant is better. You have a silly bird." Lily tried to move away from Tom's shadow. But Tom followed her. He made his shadow block her flashlight. + +Lily was sad. She said, "Please, Tom. I want to play with you. But you have to share your flashlight. It is not fair." Tom did not listen. He said, "No, Lily. This is my flashlight. You have your own. Go away." Lily felt like crying. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. + +Then, something happened. Tom's flashlight ran out of power. It went dark. Tom could not see anything. He could not make any shadows. He said, "Oh no! What happened? Where is my flashlight?" Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Tom. She said, "Tom, your flashlight is broken. It has no more power. Do you want to use mine?" Tom was scared. He said, "Yes, Lily. Please. I am sorry. I was not nice. Can we be friends again?" Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Tom. We can be friends. Here, take my flashlight. We can make shadows together." She gave him her flashlight. Tom said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I like your bird. Can we make it fly?" Lily said, "Yes, Tom. We can make it fly. And we can make your giant too. But we have to share. OK?" Tom said, "OK, Lily. We will share. And we will have fun." They turned on their flashlight. They made shadows in the dark. They were happy. +Tom and Mia were playing in the yard. They had a big box and some paper. They wanted to make a house for their toys. Tom used a saw to cut the box. Mia used glue to stick the paper on the box. They worked hard and had fun. + +But then, Ben came. Ben was mean. He did not like Tom and Mia. He wanted to ruin their house. He grabbed the saw and ran to the box. He tried to cut the box with the saw. Tom and Mia shouted, "Stop! That is our house! Go away!" + +Ben did not stop. He laughed and cut the box. The box made a loud noise. The paper fell off the box. Tom and Mia were sad and angry. They ran to Ben and tried to take the saw. They pulled and pushed. Ben pulled and pushed. They all fell to the ground. + +The saw spun in the air. It landed on Ben's head. Ben cried out. He felt dizzy. He saw stars. He dropped the saw. Tom and Mia got up. They saw Ben's head. They saw the saw. They were scared. + +They ran to their mom. They told her what happened. Mom was worried. She went to Ben. She checked his head. She said, "You are lucky. The saw did not cut you. But you are very naughty. You should not take other people's things. You should not hurt other people. You should say sorry to Tom and Mia." + +Ben felt sorry. He felt dizzy. He said sorry to Tom and Mia. Tom and Mia said sorry to Ben. They all hugged. Mom said, "It's okay. You are all friends. You can play together. But be careful with the saw. It is not a toy. It is sharp. It can hurt you." + +They all nodded. They went back to the yard. They fixed the box. They made a new house. They played with their toys. They shared the saw. They were happy. +Anna loves to look at things with her microscope. She has a microscope that her dad gave her for her birthday.

They laugh and scream. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the living room. She sees the yarn. She sees the label. She says "Oh no! This is not yarn for kids. This is yarn for magic. You have to be careful with this yarn. It is powerful." + +She helps Mia and Ben to get out of the yarn. She puts the yarn back in the box. She closes the box. She says "I'm sorry. I forgot to hide this box. It was a gift from your aunt. She is a witch. She likes to make powerful yarn. But you are too young to play with it. Maybe when you are older, you can learn some magic. But for now, you can play with your normal yarn. It is safer and more fun." + +Mia and Ben nod. They say "OK, Mom. We are sorry. We did not know. We like our normal yarn. It is nice and soft.

They felt helpless. They did not want to lose their garden. They asked their friends and neighbors for help, but no one had a good idea. They prayed to God for help, but the bug did not go away. + +Then, one morning, they saw a big bird in the garden. It was red and yellow and had a long beak. It flew from one plant to another, looking for something to eat. It saw the bug and liked it. It ate the bug and all its friends. It spread joy and hope in the garden.

Tom and Sue loved Fred and Fred loved them. They lived happily ever after. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the station with their mom. They wanted to see the big trains and hear them go choo-choo. Mom told them to stay close to her and not to run or touch anything. + +But Tom was very naughty. He did not listen to mom. He ran away from her and touched the buttons and levers on the machines. He thought it was fun to make them beep and flash. He did not care that he was making trouble for the people who worked at the station. + +Lily saw what Tom was doing and felt scared. She knew that Tom was being bad and that he could get hurt or make the trains stop. She ran after him and tried to stop him. She said, "Tom, stop! You are being bad! Mom will be angry! You could break the machines or the trains!" + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He pushed her away and said, "Go away! You are a baby! I can do what I want! You are no fun!" He slapped her on the face and made her cry. + +Then, a loud voice came from the speaker. It said, "Attention, please. There is a problem with the signals. All trains are delayed until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience." The people at the station were very unhappy.

He realized that he had been very bad and that he had hurt Lily and the people at the station. He was afraid of mom's anger and of the consequences. He came out from behind the machines and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was bad. I won't do it again." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. You are a good girl. You tried to stop Tom and to tell the truth. I'm proud of you." She looked at Tom and said, "Tom, you are in big trouble. You were very bad. You slapped your sister and you messed with the machines. You could have caused an accident or a fire. You made everyone unhappy and late. You have to apologize to Lily and to the people at the station. And you have to learn to listen and to behave." + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, everyone. I was bad. I will listen and behave. I will be a good boy." He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. You are not a baby. You are a good sister." + +Lily forgave Tom and said, "I love you, too, Tom. You are not naughty. You are a good brother." They hugged each other and mom hugged them both. The people at the station accepted Tom's apology and said, "It's okay, Tom. We all make mistakes. But we have to learn from them and not repeat them. We hope you enjoy the trains and have a nice day." + +The voice from the speaker said, "Attention, please. The problem with the signals has been fixed. The trains are running again. Thank you for your patience and cooperation." The people at the station cheered and got on their trains. Tom, Lily and mom got on their train, too. They had learned a valuable lesson. They had learned that being bad has bad consequences and that being good has good rewards. They had learned to listen, to respect and to love each other. They had learned to be a happy family. +Lily was a rich girl who had many toys and clothes. She liked to show off to her friends and make them feel bad. She did not like to share or say sorry. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a boy playing with an apple. She wanted the apple, so she ran to the boy and snatched it from his hand. The boy started to cry and asked for his apple back. + +Lily did not care. She bit the apple and said, "This is my apple now. You are poor and I am rich. I can have whatever I want." She laughed and ran away. The boy's mom saw what happened and followed Lily. She caught up with her and said, "Young lady, that was very rude and mean. You should give the apple back to the boy and apologize. How would you feel if someone took your toy or clothes?" + +Lily did not listen. She said, "No, this is my apple. Go away." She tried to run away again, but she tripped and fell. The apple rolled out of her hand and into a pond. Lily saw the apple sink and disappear. She started to panic. She wanted the apple back. She cried and screamed, "My apple, my apple!" + +The boy's mom and the boy came to Lily. The boy's mom said, "See, this is what happens when you are greedy and selfish. You lost the apple and made yourself unhappy. You also hurt the boy's feelings. He was hungry and his mom gave him the apple as a treat. He was very kind and wanted to share it with you, but you took it without asking. That was not nice." + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she was wrong and mean. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was bad. Please forgive me. Can I be your friend?" The boy nodded and smiled. He said, "It's okay. I forgive you. Yes, you can be my friend. Friends share and care." He took out another apple from his bag and gave it to Lily. He said, "Here, you can have this one. I have more at home. My mom says we are not rich in money, but we are rich in love." + +Lily smiled and thanked the boy. She took a bite of the apple and said, "This is the best apple ever. You are very nice and generous. Your mom is right. You are rich in love. I want to be like you. I want to be rich in love too." She hugged the boy and his mom. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that being rich is not about having many things, but about having a good heart. She learned that being kind and sharing is better than being rude and selfish. She learned that an apple can be more than just a fruit, but a symbol of friendship and happiness. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room.
