Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +She carried them to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. She gave them each a cup of water and told them to rinse their mouth and spit.

Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. We're sorry. We won't drink soap again. We love you." + +Mommy kissed them and said, "I love you too. You are my sweet babies.

"We want to see the frogs!" + +But Molly did not want to go. She shook her head and snorted. She did not like the pond, because it was wet and muddy.

Molly won't move!" + +Their dad looked up and saw them. He smiled and waved back. He drove the tractor closer to them and stopped. He got off and walked over to Molly. He stroked her ears and whispered something in her ear. + +"Molly, you have to listen to Tom and Sam," he said. "They are your friends and they want to have fun with you. The pond is not so bad, it's cool and refreshing. And there are many things to see and hear. You might even like it. But if you don't go, you will miss out on a lot of fun. And you will make Tom and Sam sad. Do you want that?" + +Molly looked at their dad with her big brown eyes. She liked their dad, he was kind and gentle. He always gave her food and water and brushed her fur. He also warned her about the dangers on the farm, like the electric fence and the sharp tools. He knew what was best for her. She nodded her head and made a soft noise. + +"That's a good girl," their dad said, smiling. "Now, let's go to the pond. I'll come with you and show you the way. And don't worry, I'll bring you a carrot when we come back." + +Tom and Sam cheered and thanked their dad. They got back on Molly and followed their dad to the pond. Molly trotted along, feeling curious and excited. She wondered what the pond was like and what frogs looked like. She hoped they would be friendly and not bite her. She was glad she listened to their dad and gave Tom and Sam a chance. She realized that sometimes, it was good to try new things and have fun. She was a happy mule. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar on the shelf. The jar had cookies inside. Tom and Lily loved cookies. + +"Let's get the jar," Tom said. "We can have some cookies." + +"OK," Lily said. "But be careful. The jar is heavy." + +Tom climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. He was clumsy. He dropped the jar on the floor. The jar broke. The cookies spilled out. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily said. "We made a mess." + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the broken jar and the cookies. She was not happy. + +"Tom and Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked. "You should not touch the jar. It is not yours." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They knew they did something bad. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Tom said. "We wanted some cookies. We did not mean to break the jar." + +Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She loved Tom and Lily. + +"I accept your sorry," Mom said. "But you have to learn to ask before you take something. And you have to be more careful. You could have hurt yourself." + +"Yes, Mom," Tom and Lily said. "We will ask next time. And we will be more careful." + +Mom hugged Tom and Lily. She gave them each a cookie. + +"Here, you can have one cookie each," Mom said. "But no more. You have to eat your lunch first." + +"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Lily said. They ate their cookies. They were happy. They helped Mom clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a man in a blue suit.

They are curious. + +"I help people who are in trouble. I catch bad guys and keep everyone safe. Do you want to see my car?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They follow the man to his car. It is also blue and has lights and a siren. + +"Wow!" Lily says. "Can we sit inside?" + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't touch anything," the man says. He opens the door and lets them in. + +Lily and Ben sit on the seats and look at the buttons and the radio. They feel like they are in a movie. + +"Can you make the siren go?" Ben asks. + +"Only if there is an emergency," the man says. "But I can show you how it works." He presses a button and the siren makes a loud noise. + +Lily and Ben cover their ears and giggle. They think it is fun. + +"Thank you for showing us your car," Lily says. + +"Yes, thank you," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, children," the man says. "It was nice to meet you. Do you want a hug?" + +Lily and Ben smile and hug the man. They like him. He is kind and friendly. + +"Bye, officer," they say. + +"Bye, Lily and Ben. Have a good day," the man says.

They catch it! + +They run to the box. They want to see the rabbit. But when they lift the box, they see something else. It is not a rabbit. It is a skunk! + +The skunk is angry. It raises its tail.

They do not try to catch a rabbit again. +Tom and Anna went to the museum with their mom. They saw many things, like big animals, old pots, and shiny rocks. But Tom and Anna liked the skeletons best. They were white and hard, and had many bones. + +"Look, mom, this is a dinosaur!" Tom said, pointing to a huge skeleton with a long tail and sharp teeth. "It is so big and strong!" + +"Yes, it is, Tom. It lived a long time ago, before people," mom said. + +"I want to be a dinosaur when I grow up," Tom said. + +Anna laughed. "You can't be a dinosaur, silly. You are a boy. And dinosaurs are gone." + +She walked to another skeleton. It was smaller and had wings and a beak. "This is a bird," Anna said. "It is so pretty and graceful!" + +"Wow, it is, Anna. It could fly in the sky, and sing songs," mom said. + +"I want to be a bird when I grow up," Anna said. + +Tom and Anna admired the skeletons for a long time. They imagined what they would do if they were dinosaurs and birds. They had fun. + +Then mom said it was time to go. She took them to the cafeteria, where they had some snacks. Mom gave them each a lemon. Tom and Anna bit into the lemons, and made funny faces. + +"Yuck, this is sour!" Tom said, spitting out the lemon. + +"Me too, this is sour!" Anna said, doing the same. + +Mom laughed. "Lemons are sour, my loves. They are good for you, but they are not sweet like apples or bananas. Do you want something else?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They did not like sour things. They wanted something sweet. + +Mom gave them each a cookie. Tom and Anna smiled. They liked cookies. They were sweet and soft. + +"Thank you, mom," Tom and Anna said. + +"You're welcome, my loves," mom said. "I'm glad you enjoyed the museum. And I admire you for trying new things, even if they are sour." +Anna and Ben were playing in the backyard with their toy soldiers. They had built a fort with sticks and stones and pretended to fight a war. Anna was the leader of the blue team and Ben was the leader of the red team. + +"Give up, red team! You have no chance to win!" Anna shouted from behind her fort. + +"Never! We will never surrender!" Ben shouted back from behind his fort. + +They threw pine cones and acorns at each other, trying to hit the toy soldiers. Anna had a secret weapon: a water balloon that she had filled from the hose. She waited for the right moment to throw it at Ben's fort and make him wet. + +But Ben had a secret weapon too: a big, furry dog named Max. He had tied a red ribbon around Max's neck and whispered to him: "Go, Max, go! Attack the blue team!" + +Max ran towards Anna's fort, barking and wagging his tail. He jumped over the sticks and stones and knocked down the toy soldiers. He saw the water balloon in Anna's hand and thought it was a ball. He grabbed it with his mouth and popped it. Water splashed everywhere, soaking Anna and Max. + +"Hey, stop it, Max! You're ruining our game!" Anna cried. + +"Ha ha, good boy, Max! You saved the red team!" Ben cheered. + +Max was happy and licked Ben's face. Then he ran to Anna and licked her face too. He wanted to play with both of them. He rubbed his wet, filthy fur against their clothes, making them dirty. + +"Yuck, Max, you're so filthy! Go away!" Anna and Ben said together. + +But Max didn't listen. He wagged his tail and barked, inviting them to chase him. Anna and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They forgot about their war and ran after Max, laughing and having fun. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and beep. Ben had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Look, I'm faster than you!" Ben said, pushing his car ahead of Lily's. + +"No, you're not!" Lily said, trying to catch up. "I have a trick!" + +She turned a switch on her car and made it reverse. Her car went backwards very fast and bumped into Ben's car. Ben's car flipped over and landed on its roof. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said, feeling angry. "You cheated!" + +Lily laughed and picked up her car. She saw something shiny on the bottom of it. It was a small rock that had stuck to her car when she reversed. + +"What's this?" she asked, showing it to Ben. + +Ben looked at the rock and his eyes widened. He forgot about being angry and felt curious. + +"It's a mineral!" he said. "A mineral is a kind of rock that has pretty colors or shapes. Maybe it's a treasure!" + +"Wow, a treasure!" Lily said, feeling happy. "Can we keep it?" + +"Sure, we can keep it!" Ben said, feeling happy too. "It's our great find!" + +They put the mineral in their pocket and hugged each other.

Maybe it belongs to someone else," Ben said. + +They went closer to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw a grill. It was black and shiny, but it looked cheap. It had some dents and scratches on it. + +"Wow, a grill!" Sam said again. "Let's set it up and pretend to cook." + +"Okay, Sam. But be careful. Don't touch the fire part.

He saw that his owner loved him and cared for him. He also saw that the squirrel was gone. He realized that he was being silly and stubborn.

Can I play with your doll sometimes?" + +Lily nodded. She was not angry anymore. She liked her brother. + +"Okay, Tom," she said. "But you have to ask me first. And you have to let me play with your car sometimes." + +Tom agreed. He hugged Lily and said, "I love you, Lily." + +"I love you, Tom," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you both. Now, let's play together nicely." +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big elephant in a cage. The elephant looked sad and pale. He had no friends and no space to run. + +"Can we help him?" Anna asked Ben. + +"Maybe we can," Ben said. "Let's find a way to open the cage." + +They looked around and saw a big key on a hook. Ben climbed up and took the key. He ran to the cage and tried to turn it. But the key was too heavy and the lock was too hard. + +"I can't do it," Ben said. "It's too difficult." + +"Don't give up," Anna said. "We can do it together. You turn the key and I push the door." + +They worked as a team and soon they heard a click. The door opened and the elephant came out. He was happy and grateful. He lifted Anna and Ben with his trunk and gave them a hug. + +"Thank you, thank you," the elephant said. "You are very kind and brave. You succeeded in helping me." + +Anna and Ben smiled and waved goodbye to the elephant. They learned that they could do anything if they tried hard and helped each other. They were proud of themselves and their new friend. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of trees. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a castle or a dragon!" + +"OK, Ben!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said not to go too far." + +They ran up the hill, holding hands. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They were happy. + +But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw something strange. There was a lot of mist in the air. It was white and cold and wet. They could not see very well. They heard a loud noise. It sounded like a roar. + +"What is that, Ben?" Lily asked, scared. + +"I don't know, Lily," Ben said, also scared. "Maybe it is a dragon. Maybe it is angry. Maybe it wants to eat us." + +They looked around. They saw a big cave. It was dark and filthy. It smelled bad. They saw bones and scales and fire. They saw a big shadow. It had wings and teeth and claws. It was a dragon. + +The dragon saw them. It opened its mouth. It breathed fire. It said, "Who are you? What are you doing here? This is my home. Go away!" + +Lily and Ben were very afraid. They wanted to run away. But they also wanted to be brave. They wanted to be friends with the dragon. They thought maybe the dragon was lonely and sad. + +"Hello, dragon," Lily said. "We are Lily and Ben. We are playing in the park. We did not mean to bother you. We are sorry." + +"Yes, dragon," Ben said. "We are sorry. We did not know this was your home. We are curious. We like to explore. We want to learn new things." + +The dragon was surprised. It did not expect the children to talk to it. It did not expect the children to be sorry. It did not expect the children to be curious. It felt something in its heart. It felt a little warm and soft. It felt a little happy. + +"Hello, Lily and Ben," the dragon said. "I am Draco. I am a dragon. I live here. I am lonely and bored. I have no friends. I am angry and sad." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for the dragon. They wanted to help the dragon. They wanted to be friends with the dragon. They thought maybe the dragon could teach them new things. + +"Draco, we are sorry you are lonely and bored," Lily said. "We are your friends. We want to play with you. We want to have fun with you." + +"Yes, Draco, we are your friends," Ben said. "We want to learn from you. We want to know more about you. We want to see your fire and your wings and your scales." + +The dragon was happy. It did not believe the children. It thought they were lying. It thought they were afraid. It thought they wanted to run away. But it looked into their eyes. It saw they were telling the truth. It saw they were brave. It saw they wanted to stay. It felt something in its heart. It felt a lot warm and soft. It felt a lot happy. + +"Really?" the dragon said. "You are my friends? You want to play with me? You want to learn from me?" + +"Yes, Draco, really," Lily and Ben said. "We are your friends. We want to play with you. We want to learn from you." + +The dragon smiled. It accepted the children. It accepted their friendship. It accepted their curiosity. It said, "OK, then. Come with me. I will show you my home. I will show you my fire and my wings and my scales. I will show you my treasure and my castle and my stories. But you have to be careful. It is misty and filthy and dangerous. Are you ready?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were ready. They were excited. They followed the dragon into the cave. They held hands. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They were happy. +Lily did not like vegetables. She liked candy and cake and ice cream. But Mommy said she had to eat her vegetables if she wanted dessert. Lily made a sad face and pushed her plate away. + +Mommy saw Lily's sad face and said, "Lily, please eat your vegetables. They are good for you. They make you strong and healthy and smart. And they are yummy too. Look, I have carrots and peas and corn. They are all different colors and shapes. Don't you want to try them?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I don't like vegetables. They are yucky and gross. I want dessert. I want candy and cake and ice cream." + +Mommy sighed and said, "Lily, you can't have dessert until you eat your vegetables. That's the rule. How about this? If you eat one bite of each vegetable, I will give you a small piece of candy. Just one bite. That's not too hard, is it?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She really wanted candy. But she really did not like vegetables. She looked at her plate and saw the carrots and peas and corn. They did not look yummy. They looked scary. She felt scared and sad. + +But then she looked at Mommy. Mommy looked kind and patient. Mommy loved her. Mommy wanted her to be happy. Mommy said please. Lily loved Mommy. Lily wanted to make Mommy happy. Lily said please. + +She picked up her fork and took a small bite of a carrot. She chewed and swallowed. It was not so bad. It was crunchy and sweet. She smiled and said, "I ate a carrot!" + +Mommy clapped and said, "Good job, Lily! You ate a carrot! I'm so proud of you! Do you want to try a pea?" + +Lily nodded and took a bite of a pea. It was soft and green. It was not so bad. It was juicy and fresh. She smiled and said, "I ate a pea!" + +Mommy cheered and said, "Good job, Lily! You ate a pea! You are doing great! Do you want to try a corn?" + +Lily nodded and took a bite of a corn. It was yellow and round. It was not so bad. It was sweet and poppy. She smiled and said, "I ate a corn!" + +Mommy hugged and said, "Good job, Lily! You ate a corn! You ate all your vegetables! You are amazing! I'm so happy! Do you know what that means?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I get candy!" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, you get candy! But not too much. Just a small piece. And you know what else? You get a big kiss and a big hug from me. Because I love you. And you made me happy. And you made yourself happy. And you made your vegetables happy. Because they are not sad anymore. They are happy that you ate them. And they are happy that you are happy. And I am happy that you are happy. And you are happy that I am happy. And we are all happy. Right?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Right!" + +And they were all happy. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +They run to the slide. They take turns. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide. She slides down fast. She says, "Whee!" She is happy. + +Ben goes next. He sits on the slide. He slides down fast. He says, "Whee!" He is happy too. + +They see a zigzag on the slide. It is a snake. It is green and black. It is not happy. It hisses at them. + +They are scared. They spring off the slide. They run away. They find their mom. They tell her about the snake. + +Mom says, "Don't worry. The snake is not bad. It is just scared too. It wants to be alone. Let's go to the swings. They are fun." + +Lily and Ben nod. They go to the swings. They swing high and low. They laugh and sing. They are successful. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. The end. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the park with their mom. Mom told them to put on lotion before they left, because the sun was very hot and could hurt their skin. Anna listened to mom and put on lotion, but Ben did not. He said he did not like lotion, it was sticky and smelly. + +At the park, Anna and Ben had fun on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They met some other kids and played with them. Ben was very bossy and wanted to decide everything. He told Anna and the other kids what to do and how to do it. Anna did not like that, she wanted to have her own ideas and choices. She told Ben to stop being bossy, but he did not listen. He said he was older by two minutes and he knew better. + +After a while, mom said it was time to go home. She checked Anna and Ben's skin and saw that Anna was fine, but Ben was very red and sore. He had a sunburn and it hurt a lot. He cried and said he was sorry he did not put on lotion. Mom said she was sorry too, but he had to learn his lesson. She gave him some cool water and some cream to help his skin heal. She also said he had to be nicer to Anna and the other kids, and not be so bossy. She said being bossy was not a good way to make friends or have fun. + +Anna felt sorry for Ben and gave him a hug. She said she forgave him and she hoped he would feel better soon. She also said she hoped he would remember to put on lotion next time, and to listen to mom and to her. Ben said he would, and he thanked Anna for being a good sister. He also said he would try to be less bossy and more kind. Mom smiled and said she was proud of them both. She said they had learned a valuable lesson: to take care of their skin and their feelings. +Tommy was a little boy who liked to pray. Every night, he would kneel by his bed and talk to God. He would thank God for his family, his toys, his friends, and his milk. He loved milk very much. He drank it every day with his breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He thought milk was impressive. It made him strong and healthy. + +One day, Tommy saw a big bottle of milk in the fridge. He wanted to drink it all by himself. He did not ask his mom or dad. He did not share with his sister. He took the bottle and ran to his room. He locked the door and started to drink the milk. He drank and drank and drank. He felt very happy. + +But soon, he felt very sick. His tummy hurt a lot. He felt like throwing up. He tried to call his mom or dad, but they did not hear him. He tried to open the door, but he could not. He was stuck in his room with the empty bottle of milk. He was scared and sad. He wished he had not been greedy. He wished he had prayed for forgiveness. He cried and cried and cried. He did not know what to do. He felt very bad. +Lily and Ben were going to visit their grandma in the mountains. They were very happy and excited. They had to pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. Lily liked to pack her pink dress and her teddy bear. Ben liked to pack his blue shirt and his car. + +"Are we ready to go?" asked mom. + +"Yes, we are!" said Lily and Ben. + +They put their bags in the car and said goodbye to dad. He had to work and could not come with them. He gave them a big hug and a kiss. + +"Have fun and be good!" he said. + +They drove for a long time. They saw many trees, hills and animals. They sang songs and played games. They ate some snacks and drank some juice. + +Then they saw something strange. The sky was gray and white. It was hard to see the road and the signs. It was fog. + +"What is that?" asked Lily. + +"It is fog. It is like a big cloud on the ground. It makes everything look fuzzy and blurry," explained mom. + +"Wow, that is amazing!" said Ben. + +They slowed down and turned on the lights. They had to be careful and watch out for other cars and animals. They hoped the fog would go away soon. + +They finally arrived at grandma's house. She was waiting for them at the door. She was very happy to see them. She gave them a big hug and a kiss. + +"Welcome, my darlings! I missed you so much!" she said. + +"We missed you too, grandma! We have a lot to tell you!" said Lily and Ben. + +They took their bags inside and followed grandma to the living room. They saw a big fire in the fireplace, a cozy sofa and a yummy cake on the table. They felt warm and cozy. + +They sat down and talked to grandma. They told her about their trip, their school, their friends and their hobbies. They showed her their clothes, toys and books. They asked her about her life, her garden, her pets and her stories. They listened to her with interest and curiosity. + +They had a wonderful time with grandma. They forgot about the fog and the long drive. They were happy and grateful. They loved grandma and she loved them. +Ben liked to create things with his toys. He had many blocks, cars, animals and dolls. He could make houses, roads, farms and families with them. He liked to play with them and tell stories. + +One day, he found a new toy in his room. It was a duck. It was yellow and soft and had a squeaky sound. Ben liked the duck. He wanted to create a pond for it. He took a big blue bowl and filled it with water. He put the duck in the bowl and said, "Hello, duck. Do you like your pond?" + +The duck did not answer. It just floated and squeaked. Ben was confused. He thought the duck was real. He wanted the duck to talk to him and be his friend. He asked, "Duck, why don't you talk to me? Don't you like me?" + +The duck still did not answer. It just floated and squeaked. Ben was sad. He thought the duck did not like him. He took the duck out of the bowl and hugged it. He said, "Please, duck, talk to me. I like you. You are my new toy." + +The duck still did not answer. It just squeaked. Ben did not know what to do. He looked at the duck and the bowl. He wondered if the duck was happy or not. He wished the duck could tell him. He said, "Duck, are you happy or not?" +Ben and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big cup of coffee on the table. It smelled good and was hot. + +"Let's try some coffee," Ben said. "Mommy and Daddy drink it every morning. It must be yummy." + +Mia nodded. She was curious. She took a small sip from the cup. She made a face. The coffee was bitter and burned her tongue. + +"Yuck! This is not yummy at all!" Mia said. "It hurts my mouth. I don't like coffee." + +Ben laughed. He thought Mia was funny. He wanted to be brave. He took a big gulp from the cup. He regretted it right away. The coffee was too hot and too bitter. He spit it out and cried. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! This is the worst thing ever! I hate coffee!" Ben said. He ran to the sink and rinsed his mouth with water. + +Mommy and Daddy heard the noise and came to the kitchen. They saw the spilled coffee and the crying children. + +"What happened here?" Mommy asked. + +"We tried some coffee," Mia said. "It was not yummy. It was yucky." + +"We're sorry, Mommy and Daddy," Ben said. "We wanted to be like you. But we don't like coffee." + +Mommy and Daddy hugged Ben and Mia. They were not angry. They were glad the children were not hurt. + +"It's okay, sweeties," Daddy said. "Coffee is not for children. It's for grown-ups. You can have some juice or milk instead. Maybe when you're older, you'll like coffee. Or maybe not. Everyone has different tastes." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They felt better. They learned something new. They decided to never drink coffee again. At least not until they were very, very old. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the park with their moms. The park has a big landscape. There are trees, flowers, grass, and a pond. + +"Look, Tom, a duck!" Lila says. She points to the pond. "Can we feed it?" + +Tom nods. He has some bread in his backpack. He takes out a piece and breaks it into small bits. He gives some to Lila. They walk to the pond. The duck sees them and swims closer. It quacks. + +"Hello, duck!" Lila says. She throws a bit of bread into the water. The duck eats it. It quacks again. + +"More, more!" Tom says. He throws another bit of bread. The duck eats it too. It flaps its wings. + +Lila and Tom laugh. They feed the duck until the bread is gone. The duck is happy. It swims away. + +"Bye, duck!" Lila and Tom say. They wave to the duck. + +They go back to their moms. Their moms are sitting on a bench. They have some juice and cookies for them. + +"Did you have fun?" Lila's mom asks. + +"Yes, mom!" Lila says. "We fed a duck!" + +"That's nice!" Tom's mom says. "Do you want some juice and cookies?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom says. "They look yummy!" + +Lila and Tom sit on the bench with their moms. They drink some juice and eat some cookies. They share their stories. They are happy. They love the park. +Sara and Ben were lost in the woods. They walked and walked, but they could not find their way back to the camp. They were cold and hungry and scared. They saw a cabin in a clearing. Maybe someone lived there and could help them. + +They ran to the cabin and knocked on the door. No one answered. They tried to open the door, but it was locked. They looked around and saw a window. They climbed on a big rock and looked inside. The cabin was very ugly. There were spider webs and dust and old things everywhere. It looked like no one lived there for a long time. + +"Let's go, Sara. This place is creepy," Ben said. + +"But where will we go, Ben? It's getting dark and we have nowhere to sleep," Sara said. + +"Maybe we can find a better place. Come on, Sara. Trust me," Ben said. + +They jumped off the rock and started to walk away from the cabin. Then they heard a loud growl behind them. They turned around and saw a big bear coming out of the cabin. The bear had broken the door and smelled their food. The bear was angry and hungry and wanted to eat them. + +Sara and Ben realized they were in big trouble. They screamed and ran as fast as they could. They hoped to find someone who could help them or a place to hide. They wished they had never seen the ugly cabin. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to make some toast for breakfast. But they were too small to reach the toaster on the counter. They looked around the kitchen for something to help them. + +They saw a chair near the table. They pushed the chair to the counter. They climbed on the chair. Now they could see the toaster. But they did not know how to use it. + +They saw a knob on the toaster. They turned the knob. Nothing happened. They turned it the other way. Still nothing. They were confused. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was Mom. She had come to the kitchen. She saw Tom and Lily on the chair. + +"What are you doing, my little ones?" she asked. + +"We want toast, Mom," Tom said. + +"We turned the knob, Mom," Lily said. + +Mom smiled. She hugged them. She showed them how to use the toaster. She plugged it in. She put some bread in the slots. She pushed the lever down. She set the knob to the right number. + +"Wait a few minutes, and you will have toast," she said. + +Tom and Lily waited. They smelled the bread. It smelled good. They heard a pop. The toast was ready. Mom took it out. She put some butter and jam on it. She cut it into pieces. She gave it to Tom and Lily. + +They took a bite. It was tasty. They smiled. They thanked Mom. + +"You're welcome, my little ones," Mom said. "You did a good job trying to make toast. But next time, please ask me for help. The toaster can be hot and dangerous. I don't want you to get hurt." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They loved Mom. They ate their toast. They were happy. +Sara was a nurse who liked to help people. She worked in a big house with many beds and many sick people. She wore a white dress and a white hat. + +One day, she had to carry a patient to another room. The patient was a little girl who had a hurt leg. She was very sad and scared. Sara smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of you. You are very brave and strong." + +Sara lifted the patient gently and held her in her arms. She walked slowly and carefully, so she would not drop her or hurt her more. She was very graceful and did not make any noise. + +The patient felt safe and warm in Sara's arms. She looked at Sara's face and saw her kind eyes and her friendly nose. She said, "Thank you, nurse. You are very nice and pretty." + +Sara was happy to hear that. She said, "You are welcome, sweetie. You are very nice and pretty, too." She carried the patient to the new room and put her on the new bed. She gave her a hug and a kiss and said, "I will come back soon to check on you. I hope you feel better soon." + +The patient smiled and said, "Thank you, nurse. I hope so, too." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Sara left the room and went to help other people. She was a good nurse who liked to help people. +Lily had a big itch on her nose. She tried to scratch it with her paw, but it did not help. She felt very unhappy and wanted her mom to make it go away. + +She saw her mom in the kitchen, making a cake. She ran to her and said, "Mom, mom, I have an itch on my nose. It hurts and I don't like it. Can you help me?" + +Her mom looked at her and smiled. She said, "Oh, Lily, you have a naughty itch. Let me see what I can do. Maybe you need some cream or a kiss to make it better." + +She took Lily to the bathroom and put some cream on her nose. She rubbed it gently and said, "There, there, does that feel better? The cream will make the itch go away soon." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. The cream feels nice and cool. Can I have a kiss too?" + +Her mom kissed her nose and said, "Of course, you can. You are my sweet girl. Now, let's go back to the kitchen and see if the cake is ready. Maybe we can have a slice for a treat." + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. You make me happy. And I love cake too. Can I help you with the icing?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, you can. You are a good helper. Come on, let's go and have some fun." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make noises as they drove them on the grass and the sand. Sometimes they pretended to be in a race, and sometimes they pretended to be in a chase. + +One day, they saw a big dog running towards them. It was black and furry, and it had a loud bark. Anna and Ben were anxious. They did not know if the dog was friendly or mean. They grabbed their toy cars and ran to the bench where their mom was sitting. + +"Mom, mom, there is a big dog!" Anna cried. + +"Where, honey?" Mom asked, looking around. + +"There, there, behind the tree!" Ben pointed. + +Mom saw the dog and smiled. She knew the dog. It was Rex, their neighbor's pet. Rex was a good dog, but he liked to play and run. + +"Hello, Rex!" Mom called. "Do you want to play with us?" + +Rex heard Mom's voice and came out from behind the tree. He wagged his tail and ran to the bench. He licked Mom's hand and sniffed Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben were still anxious. They did not like Rex's big teeth and wet tongue. + +"Mom, he is scary!" Ben said. + +"No, he is not, sweetie. He is just curious. He wants to be your friend. Look, he likes your toy cars. Maybe you can share them with him." Mom said. + +Anna and Ben looked at Rex. He was holding one of their toy cars in his mouth. He shook his head and made a noise. + +"Roar!" Rex said. + +Anna and Ben laughed. They realized Rex was not scary. He was funny. He was pretending to be a car too. + +"Roar!" Anna and Ben said, holding their toy cars. + +They got off the bench and joined Rex on the grass. They played with him and their toy cars. They had a lot of fun. They made Rex turn left and right, and stop and go. They gave him hugs and pats. + +Rex was happy. He had new friends. He liked Anna and Ben. He liked their toy cars. He liked to roar. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But they also liked to look for hidden things. They had a rod that they used to poke under the bushes and the rocks. + +"Look, Ben, I found a shiny thing!" Anna said, holding up a coin. + +"Wow, Anna, that's a good find! Maybe we can buy some candy with it!" Ben said. + +They put the coin in their pocket and looked for more hidden things. They found a button, a feather, and a marble. They were very happy. + +But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. It looked angry and scary. + +"Help, Anna, the dog is coming!" Ben said, dropping the rod. + +"Run, Ben, run to the gate!" Anna said, grabbing his hand. + +They ran as fast as they could, but the dog was faster. It was almost catching them. + +"Pray, Ben, pray to God!" Anna said, feeling afraid. + +"God, please help us, please make the dog go away!" Ben said, praying with Anna. + +Suddenly, they heard a whistle. A man was calling the dog. The dog stopped and turned around. It ran back to the man. + +"Sorry, kids, he got loose from his leash. He's not mean, he just likes to chase things. Are you okay?" the man said. + +"Yes, we're okay, thank you, mister!" Anna said. + +"Thank you, God, thank you for saving us!" Ben said. + +They hugged each other and picked up their rod. They decided to go home and share their hidden things with their mom. They were very thankful. +Tommy liked to play with his toys, but he wanted a new friend. He asked his mom and dad for a pet, but they said no. They said pets were too much work and they had no space. Tommy was sad, but he did not give up. He was persistent. + +One day, he saw a mouse in the kitchen. It was small and furry and had a long tail. Tommy thought it was cute and wanted to catch it. He ran after the mouse, but it was fast and smart. It hid under the fridge and behind the stove. Tommy tried to lure it with cheese and bread, but it did not come out. + +Tommy did not give up. He was persistent. He made a trap with a box and a string. He put some cheese inside the box and waited. He hoped the mouse would smell the cheese and go inside the box. Then he would pull the string and close the box. He would have a new friend. + +He waited and waited, but the mouse did not come. He was getting tired and bored. He decided to take a nap on the couch. He left the box and the string on the floor. + +While he was sleeping, the mouse came out of its hiding place. It smelled the cheese and went inside the box. It did not see the string. It ate the cheese and felt happy. It did not know it was trapped. + +When Tommy woke up, he saw the box was closed. He was excited and ran to the box. He opened it and saw the mouse. He smiled and said, "Hello, friend. I'm Tommy. You're my pet now. I will call you Mimi." + +The mouse was scared and tried to escape, but Tommy held it gently. He said, "Don't be afraid, Mimi. I will take care of you. I will give you food and water and a nice cage. You will be happy with me." + +The mouse did not understand Tommy, but it felt his warmth and kindness. It stopped struggling and looked at him with curiosity. It decided to give him a chance. It squeaked softly and licked his finger. + +Tommy was happy. He had received a new friend. He was persistent and it paid off. He hugged Mimi and said, "I love you, Mimi. You're the best pet ever." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw some mushrooms growing under a big tree. They looked yummy and red, so they picked some and put them in a basket. + +"Let's eat them for lunch!" Ben said. + +"No, we have to ask Mom first. She knows what is good and what is bad," Lily said. + +But Ben did not listen. He was hungry and curious. He took a big bite of a mushroom and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is mild and sweet. Try it, Lily!" + +Lily was afraid, but she did not want to be left out. She took a small bite of a mushroom and nodded. + +"It is mild, but I don't like it very much. It has a funny taste." + +They ate some more mushrooms and then ran back to the house. They did not tell Mom what they had done. + +Soon, they felt sick. Their tummies hurt and they felt dizzy. They lay down on the couch and moaned. + +Mom came in and saw them. She was worried and angry. + +"What did you do? Why do you look so pale and sick?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben did not answer. They were too ashamed and scared. + +Mom saw the basket of mushrooms on the table. She gasped and picked it up. + +"Did you eat these? These are poison mushrooms! They can make you very ill or even die!" + +She called the doctor and the ambulance. They came and took Lily and Ben to the hospital. They gave them medicine and put them on machines. + +Mom cried and prayed. She hoped they would be okay. + +Lily and Ben were punished for their mistake. They had to stay in the hospital for a long time. They missed their home and their toys and their friends. They learned to never eat anything without asking Mom first. They were sorry and sad. They wished they had listened to Lily. +Lily likes to play with her toys in the living room. She has a big box of toys with many colors and shapes. She likes to make noises and stories with them. Sometimes, she asks her mom or dad to play with her. + +One day, Lily sees a new toy on the shelf. It is a mug with a picture of a cat on it. Lily loves cats. She wants to play with the mug. She points to the mug and says, "Mug! Cat! Meow!" + +Her mom sees her pointing and smiles. She says, "That is a mug, Lily. It is not a toy. It is for drinking tea or coffee. It is hot and can break. You cannot play with it." + +Lily does not understand. She thinks the mug is a toy. She wants to hold it and make it meow. She says, "No, no, no! Mug! Cat! Meow!" She tries to reach for the mug. + +Her mom says, "No, Lily, no! Stop! That is not safe!" She runs to the shelf and takes the mug away. She puts it on a high place where Lily cannot reach. She says, "You can play with your other toys, Lily. But not with the mug. It is not a toy. It is hot and can break. Do you understand?" + +Lily is sad and angry. She does not understand why she cannot play with the mug. She cries and stomps her feet. She says, "Mug! Cat! Meow!" She runs to her box of toys and throws them around. She is very fast and loud. + +Her mom says, "Lily, calm down. You are making a mess. You have many toys to play with. Look, here is a toy cat. It is soft and can meow. You can play with it. Do you want it?" + +Lily sees the toy cat and stops crying. She likes the toy cat. It is soft and can meow. She says, "Cat! Meow!" She takes the toy cat and hugs it. She says, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, mug." + +Her mom says, "It's okay, Lily. I know you are curious. But you have to be careful. Some things are not toys. They are hot and can break. You can look at them, but not touch them. Do you understand?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, mom. I understand. No touch mug. Only touch cat. Meow!" + +Her mom says, "Good girl, Lily. I love you. Do you want some juice?" + +Lily says, "Yes, mom. I love you too. Juice, please." + +Her mom says, "Okay, Lily. Come with me. I have a juice for you. It is in a cup. A cup is like a mug, but smaller and safer. You can drink from it. Do you want to try?" + +Lily says, "Yes, mom. I want to try. Cup! Juice! Yum!" + +Her mom says, "Good girl, Lily. Let's go to the kitchen. We can drink our juice and talk about cats. Meow!" + +Lily says, "Meow!" She follows her mom to the kitchen. She holds her toy cat and smiles. She is happy. She likes her mom, her cat, and her juice. She does not want the mug anymore. She forgets about it. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They have a big freezer that makes ice. Sometimes they open the freezer and take out ice to make snowmen. + +One day, Sara and Ben are bored. They want to play a new game. Sara has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's play rock, paper, scissors. The loser has to go inside the freezer for one minute." + +Ben thinks this is a fun game. He says, "OK, let's play." They start to play rock, paper, scissors. Sara always wins. She says, "Rock beats scissors. You lose, Ben. Go inside the freezer." + +Ben is loyal to his sister. He does what she says. He goes inside the freezer and closes the door. He feels very cold. He says, "Sara, let me out. I don't like it here." + +Sara laughs. She says, "No, you have to stay for one minute. That's the rule." She looks at the clock. She sees that one minute is over. She says, "OK, Ben. You can come out now." + +But Ben does not answer. He does not open the door. He does not move. He is frozen. Sara is scared. She tries to open the door, but it is stuck. She cries. She says, "Ben, Ben, wake up. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." + +But Ben does not wake up. He is gone. Sara is alone. She has lost her twin. She has lost her best friend. She has lost her game. +Anna loved to sing. She sang all day, at home, at school, and in the park. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and funny songs. She wanted to be an opera singer when she grew up. + +One day, she saw a poster for an opera show. It had a picture of a lady in a big dress and a man in a fancy suit. They looked jolly and beautiful. Anna asked her mom if they could go and see the show. + +"Maybe, Anna, but opera tickets are very expensive. We have to save money for other things, like food and clothes and books. Maybe you can see the show on TV or online." + +Anna was sad. She wanted to see the show in real life, not on a screen. She wanted to hear the singers and the music and the applause. She wanted to learn from them and be like them. + +She decided to work hard and save money for the opera tickets. She did extra chores at home, like washing the dishes and folding the laundry. She helped her mom at the store, like stacking the cans and counting the coins. She sold some of her toys and books to her friends, like her doll and her puzzle. + +After a few weeks, she had enough money for the opera tickets. She was so happy and proud. She gave the money to her mom and asked her to buy the tickets. + +"Wow, Anna, you worked very hard and saved a lot of money. I'm very proud of you. You deserve to see the show. Let's go and buy the tickets." + +Anna and her mom went to the opera show. They wore their best clothes and sat in the front row. They watched the lady and the man sing and act. They listened to the music and the applause. They enjoyed the show very much. + +Anna learned a lot from the show. She learned how to sing louder and clearer. She learned how to express different emotions and stories. She learned how to appreciate art and culture. + +She also learned a valuable lesson. She learned that if she wanted something, she had to work hard and save money for it. She learned that nothing comes easy, but everything is possible. She learned that she could be an opera singer if she followed her dream and never gave up. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play soccer. They had a ball and two goals made of sticks and cans. They took turns to kick the ball and try to score. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +One day, a big dog came to the park where they played. The dog saw the ball and wanted to play too. It ran to the ball and grabbed it with its teeth. Tim and Sam were scared and ran away. The dog chased them and barked loudly. + +"Help, help!" Tim and Sam shouted. They looked for a place to hide. They saw a big tree and climbed up. The dog could not climb, but it stayed under the tree and waited. + +Tim and Sam were stuck on the tree. They were hungry and thirsty and cold. They cried and hugged each other. They wished someone would come and save them. + +They saw a man walking by. He had a hat and a coat and a bag. He looked like a nice man. They called to him and asked for help. + +"Hello, little boys," the man said. "What are you doing up there?" + +"A dog chased us and took our ball," Tim said. "We are scared and want to go home." + +The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can help you. I have a rope in my bag. I can throw it to you and you can climb down." + +Tim and Sam were happy and thanked the man. The man opened his bag and took out a rope. He also took out a knife and a mask. He examined the rope and tied a knot. He put on the mask and said, "But first, you have to give me something." + +"What do you want?" Sam asked. + +"I want your money and your clothes and your shoes," the man said. "They are my goal. If you don't give me, I will cut the rope and let the dog eat you." + +Tim and Sam were shocked and scared. They had no money and they did not want to give their clothes and shoes. They tried to scream, but the man covered their mouths with his hand. He was not a nice man. He was a bad man. + +The man pulled the rope and made Tim and Sam fall from the tree. He grabbed their clothes and shoes and ran away. The dog saw them and ran to them. It bit them and hurt them. Tim and Sam were not alert. They were too weak and tired. They closed their eyes and hoped it was a bad dream. But it was not. It was a bad ending. +Lily and Max are playful friends. They like to run and jump and laugh. One day, they see a new person in the park. The person has a big hat and a long coat. He looks funny. + +"Who is that?" Lily questions Max. + +"I don't know. Let's go and say hello," Max says. + +They run to the person and smile. The person smiles back. + +"Hello, little ones. I am a magician. Do you want to see some magic?" the person says. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Max say. + +The person takes out a wand and a scarf. He waves the wand and says some words. The scarf changes color. Lily and Max clap. + +"Wow! How do you do that?" Lily questions. + +"It's a secret. But I can show you another trick. Do you have a coin?" the person says. + +Max takes out a coin from his pocket and gives it to the person. The person puts the coin in his hand and closes it. He opens it again and the coin is gone. + +"Where did it go?" Max questions. + +The person points to his ear. He pulls out the coin from his ear and gives it back to Max. + +"Ta-da!" the person says. + +Lily and Max laugh. They think the person is very clever and funny. They want to see more magic. The person is happy to show them. They have a lot of fun. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They find a file in the garage. They want to make the snowman's teeth. + +"Look, Ben, I have a file. We can make teeth for the snowman," Lila says. + +"Good idea, Lila. Let me help you," Ben says. + +They take the file and start to scrape the snow. They make four big teeth and four small teeth. They stick them on the snowman's mouth. + +"Wow, he looks great. He has a big smile," Lila says. + +"Yes, he does. But he must be cold. His teeth are icy," Ben says. + +They run to the house and get some hot chocolate. They drink it and warm up. They look at the snowman from the window. + +"He is happy, Lila. He has friends," Ben says. + +"Yes, he does. We are his friends," Lila says. + +They hug and smile. They love the snowman and the file. They love to play in the snow. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes the ball would roll away and they would run after it. They were having fun. + +But then a big man came and took their ball. He said, "This is my ball now. You can't have it." He ran away with the ball. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They shouted, "Hey, that's our ball! Give it back!" + +The big man did not listen. He ran to his car and put the ball in the trunk. He got in the car and drove away. Lily and Ben could not see their ball anymore. It disappeared. + +Lily and Ben cried. They wanted their ball back. They did not know what to do. They saw a police officer walking by. He had a blue uniform and a badge. He looked kind. + +Lily and Ben ran to the police officer. They told him what happened. They said, "A big man took our ball and drove away. He was mean. Can you help us?" + +The police officer nodded. He said, "Don't worry, kids. I will help you. Do you remember what the big man looked like? Or what his car looked like?" + +Lily and Ben tried to remember. They said, "He had brown hair and a beard. He wore a green jacket and jeans. His car was red and had a dent on the side." + +The police officer smiled. He said, "That's very good. You have good memory. I think I know who the big man is. He is a bad man who likes to steal things. I will find him and get your ball back. You stay here and wait for me. I will be back soon." + +Lily and Ben thanked the police officer. They hoped he would find the big man and their ball. They sat on a bench and waited. They felt a little better. The sun came out and the sky was not gloomy anymore. They hoped their ball would come back too. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a tall slide. It was purple and shiny. Anna wanted to try it. Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben. It will be fun. Don't be scared," Anna said. + +"I don't know, Anna. It looks too high. What if we fall?" Ben said. + +"You won't fall. Just relax and hold my hand. I will go with you," Anna said. + +She took Ben's hand and climbed the stairs. Ben was shaking. He looked down and saw the ground far away. He wanted to go back. But Anna pulled him to the top. + +"Ready, Ben? Here we go!" Anna said. + +She pushed them down the slide. Ben screamed. Anna laughed. They went faster and faster. The wind blew their hair. They felt like flying. + +But then, something bad happened. The slide was broken. There was a big hole in the middle. Anna and Ben did not see it. They fell through the hole. They hit the ground hard. They felt pain. They cried. + +"Help! Help!" Anna and Ben shouted. + +But no one heard them. They were alone and hurt. They wished they never went on the slide. They wished they listened to Ben. They wished they were home. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to search for bugs and flowers. They have a small net and a jar to catch them. + +"Look, Lily, I found a ladybug!" Ben says. He holds up his net with a red and black bug inside. "It is harmless. It does not bite or sting." + +"Wow, Ben, it is pretty!" Lily says. She wants to see the ladybug too. She runs to Ben and reaches for his net. But she trips on a rock and falls down. She scrapes her knee and starts to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Lily says. She feels hot tears on her face. She wants her mom to make it better. + +Ben feels sorry for Lily. He puts down his net and helps her up. He hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. It was an accident. Do you want to see my ladybug?" + +Lily nods. She wipes her tears and smiles. She looks at the ladybug in the net. It is harmless. It does not make her hurt. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. Can we share the ladybug?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, we can share. Let's go show mom. Maybe she has a band-aid for your knee." + +They hold hands and walk to the house. They are happy. They like to search for bugs and flowers. They have a small net and a jar to catch them. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They saw a big hole in the fence. Anna wanted to see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go and look," she said to Ben. + +"No, we can't," Ben said. "Mum said we have to stay in the garden. She said there is a big road with fast cars on the other side. We have to be obedient." + +Anna did not listen to Ben. She was curious and brave. She stepped through the hole in the fence. Ben followed her. He did not want to leave her alone. + +They saw a big road with fast cars. They heard loud noises and saw bright lights. They were scared. They wanted to go back to the garden. + +"Come on, Anna, let's go back," Ben said. + +"OK, OK," Anna said. She stepped back to the hole in the fence. But she was too slow. A fast car came and hit her. She fell down and did not move. Ben screamed and cried. He ran to Anna and tried to wake her up. But she did not wake up. She was gone. + +Mum heard Ben's scream and came to the road. She saw Anna and Ben. She was shocked and sad. She hugged Ben and called for help. She wished they had been obedient. She wished they had stayed in the garden. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were lions. They ran around the grass and trees, roaring and chasing each other. They had fun. + +"Roar! I'm the king of the jungle!" Ben said, jumping on a rock. + +"Roar! No, I'm the queen of the jungle!" Lily said, pouncing on him. + +They rolled on the ground, laughing and tickling each other. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a real lion! It had escaped from the zoo. It was hungry and angry. It saw Lily and Ben and wanted to eat them. + +"Roar!" The lion roared, running towards them. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They got up and ran away. They looked for a place to hide. + +"Help! Help!" They shouted. + +The lion was fast. It caught up with them. It reached out its paw and scratched Ben's leg. Ben cried out in pain. + +"Ow! Ow! My leg!" He said. + +Lily saw Ben's leg bleeding. She was brave. She picked up a stick and threw it at the lion's face. The lion was surprised and hurt. It blinked and shook its head. + +"Go away! Leave us alone!" Lily said, roaring back at the lion. + +The lion was not happy. It did not like to be hit by a stick. It did not think Lily and Ben were tasty anymore. It decided to look for another meal. It turned around and ran away. + +"Roar!" The lion roared, leaving the park. + +Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were safe. They were glad. + +"Thank you, Lily. You saved me." Ben said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, Ben. You're my friend." Lily said, smiling back. + +They walked to the gate. They saw their parents. They were worried and relieved. They hugged Lily and Ben. + +"Are you okay? What happened?" They asked. + +"We were playing lions. But then a real lion came. It was scary. It hurt Ben's leg. But Lily threw a stick at it. And it went away." Ben said. + +"You were very brave, Lily. And you too, Ben. We're proud of you. But don't play lions anymore. It's dangerous." They said. + +"Okay. We won't. We'll play something else." Lily and Ben said. + +They went home. They had some ice cream. It was tasty. They felt better. They were happy. +Mira and Ravi were twins who liked to play in their room. They had a big bed, a small table, and a wooden drawer where they kept their toys. Sometimes they pretended the drawer was a boat, and they sailed to faraway lands. Sometimes they pretended the drawer was a cave, and they hid from scary monsters. + +One day, they decided to pretend the drawer was a swing. They took out all the toys and pushed the drawer to the middle of the room. Then they tied a long rope to the handle and hung it from the ceiling. Mira climbed into the drawer and Ravi held the rope. He pulled the rope and made the drawer swing back and forth. + +"Whee! This is fun!" Mira shouted. "I feel like a bird!" + +"Me too!" Ravi said. "Can I have a turn?" + +"Sure!" Mira said. "But be careful. The drawer might break if you swing too hard." + +Ravi nodded. He helped Mira get out of the drawer and climbed in himself. He held on to the sides and waited for Mira to pull the rope. Mira pulled the rope and made the drawer swing back and forth. + +"Whee! This is fun!" Ravi shouted. "I feel like a plane!" + +"Me too!" Mira said. "But don't swing too high. The rope might snap if you swing too high." + +Ravi nodded. He enjoyed the swing for a while, but then he wanted to swing higher and faster. He pushed his feet against the wall and made the drawer swing higher and faster. + +"Look at me!" Ravi said. "I'm a rocket!" + +"Wow!" Mira said. "But be careful. The wall might crack if you swing too fast." + +Ravi nodded. But he didn't listen. He swung higher and faster, until the drawer hit the wall with a loud bang. The rope snapped and the drawer fell to the floor with a loud crash. Ravi fell out of the drawer and bumped his head. + +"Ow!" Ravi cried. "That hurt!" + +Mira ran to Ravi and hugged him. She checked his head and saw a small bump. She kissed it and said, "I'm sorry, Ravi. Are you okay?" + +Ravi nodded. He hugged Mira and said, "I'm sorry, Mira. I was silly. I should have listened to you." + +Mira smiled and said, "It's okay, Ravi. I forgive you. You're my twin and my best friend. You're dependable." + +Ravi smiled and said, "You're dependable too, Mira. You're my twin and my best friend. I love you." + +They hugged each other and said, "We love you too, drawer. You're dependable too. But maybe we should find another game to play." +Lila and Ben are playing with their toys. Lila has a furry doll that she loves. Ben has a top that he can spin. They are having fun. + +"Look, Lila, my top can spin very fast!" Ben says. He puts his top on the floor and makes it spin. + +"Wow, Ben, your top is cool!" Lila says. She puts her doll next to the top and watches it spin. + +Ben gets bored. He wants to try something new. He sees Lila's doll and gets an idea. + +"Hey, Lila, can I put your doll on my top?" Ben asks. + +"No, Ben, you can't!" Lila says. "My doll is not for spinning. She is for hugging. She is my furry friend." + +"Please, Lila, just for a little bit. It will be fun!" Ben says. He does not listen to Lila. He grabs her doll and puts it on his top. + +"Ben, stop! Give me back my doll!" Lila cries. She tries to get her doll, but Ben pushes her away. + +The top spins faster and faster. The doll flies off the top and hits the wall. The doll breaks. Her head falls off. Her fur rips. Her eyes pop out. + +Lila screams. She runs to her doll and picks up the pieces. She is very sad. She hugs her doll and cries. + +Ben is scared. He sees what he did. He feels bad. He says sorry to Lila, but Lila does not hear him. She is too sad. + +The end. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make noisy sounds. They pretended they were racing drivers and had to fill up their cars with fuel at the pit stop. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to win!" Ben shouted as he zoomed his red car around the grass. + +"Not so fast, Ben, I'm catching up!" Lily said as she chased him with her blue car. + +They reached the pit stop, where they had a plastic bottle filled with water. They used it to pretend to pour fuel into their cars. + +"Help me, Lily, I can't open the bottle!" Ben said, struggling with the cap. + +"OK, Ben, I'll help you," Lily said, putting down her car and taking the bottle. + +She twisted the cap hard and it popped off. But the bottle was too full and the water squirted out everywhere. It splashed on Ben's face and clothes, and on his red car. + +"Ah, Lily, you made me wet!" Ben cried, wiping his eyes. + +"Sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to!" Lily said, feeling bad. + +But Ben was very angry. He grabbed his red car and threw it at Lily. It hit her on the head and made her cry. + +"Ow, Ben, that hurt!" Lily sobbed, holding her head. + +"Good, you deserve it!" Ben said, stomping away. + +Lily was left alone in the garden, wet and hurt. She wished Ben would say sorry and be nice to her again. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be mean to your friends when they try to help you. You might hurt their feelings and lose their trust. +Anna loved to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. She always tried to find a good spot to hide, but Tom was very good at finding her. One day, she had a clever idea. She hid under a big blanket on the sofa and made it look like a pile of pillows. She hoped Tom would not notice her. + +Tom counted to ten and then started to look for Anna. He looked in the closet, under the bed, behind the curtains, but he could not find her. He started to feel confused. Where could Anna be? He walked around the living room and saw the blanket on the sofa. He thought it was just pillows, but then he heard a giggle. He smiled and walked towards the sofa. + +Anna heard Tom coming closer and tried to be quiet. She held her breath and squeezed her eyes shut. She hoped Tom would not find her. She felt a tug on the blanket and then saw Tom's face. He had lifted the blanket and peeked under it. He said, "Boo! I found you, Anna!" Anna laughed and said, "You are too smart, Tom!" Tom said, "You are very good at hiding, Anna. That was a charming spot. But I have a trick to find you. I listen for your giggle. It is very cute and loud." Anna said, "Oh, no! I have to be more quiet next time." Tom said, "Or you can try to find me. Do you want to be the seeker?" Anna said, "Yes, please! I want to find you, Tom!" Tom said, "Okay, then. Close your eyes and count to ten. I will go and hide." Anna said, "Okay, Tom. One, two, three..." She closed her eyes and started to count. She was happy to play with her big brother. She thought it was a lot of fun and a success. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big, furry caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and yellow and had many legs. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It's so fuzzy and pretty. Can we keep it?" + +Ben nodded. "Yes, let's gather some more leaves for it. Maybe it will make a cocoon and turn into a butterfly." + +They ran around the garden and picked up some leaves. They put them in a shoebox and made a hole for air. They gently lifted the caterpillar and placed it inside. + +"Hello, caterpillar," Ben said. "We are your new friends. We will take good care of you." + +The caterpillar wiggled its antenna and crawled on a leaf. It looked happy and cozy. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy too. They had a new pet and a new adventure. They wondered what the caterpillar would look like when it changed. They decided to name it Furry. +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 look for it in the grass or behind the trees. + +One time, the ball went over the fence and into the road. Tom and Lily ran to the fence and saw a big car coming fast. They were scared and did not know what to do. They panic. + +"Tom, what do we do?" Lily asked, holding Tom's hand. + +"I don't know, Lily. The car is too big and too fast. We can't get the ball back," Tom said, looking at the car. + +"Maybe we can ask for help. Look, there is a lady over there. She looks nice and calm. Maybe she can help us," Lily said, pointing to a lady who was walking on the sidewalk. + +"OK, let's go and ask her. But be careful, don't go near the road," Tom said, pulling Lily with him. + +They ran to the lady and tugged on her dress. She looked down and smiled at them. + +"Hello, little ones. What can I do for you?" she asked. + +"Please, lady, can you help us? Our ball went over the fence and into the road. And there is a big car coming fast. We are scared and we panic," Lily said, looking up at her. + +"Oh, dear. Don't worry, I will help you. Stay here with me and don't go near the road. I will get your ball back for you," the lady said, putting her hand on Lily's shoulder. + +She looked both ways and waited for the car to pass. Then she quickly crossed the road and picked up the ball. She came back and gave it to Tom and Lily. + +"Here you go, your ball is safe. Next time, be more careful and don't let your ball go over the fence. The road is dangerous and you could get hurt," the lady said, patting their heads. + +"Thank you, lady. You are very nice and calm. We are sorry for our ball. We will be more careful next time," Tom and Lily said, hugging the lady. + +"You're welcome, little ones. Now go and have fun, but stay in the park. And don't panic, OK?" the lady said, waving goodbye. + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran back to the park. They were happy to have their ball back and to have met a nice and calm lady. They did not panic anymore. +Sara was a girl who liked to help her mom. She helped her mom deliver cakes to people who ordered them. Sara liked to see the happy faces of the people when they got their cakes. + +One day, Sara and her mom had to deliver a cake to a big house. Sara saw a cute dog in the yard. The dog was brown and fluffy. Sara wanted to pet the dog, but her mom said no. + +"Be careful, Sara. We don't know if the dog is friendly or not. And we have to hurry. The cake is for a birthday party." + +Sara nodded, but she still looked at the dog. The dog looked at her too. He wagged his tail and barked softly. + +Sara and her mom rang the doorbell. A lady opened the door. She smiled and thanked them for the cake. She invited them in for a slice. + +Sara and her mom followed the lady into the house. Sara saw a lot of balloons and streamers. She also saw a lot of kids. They were playing and laughing. Sara wanted to join them, but she was shy. + +The lady noticed Sara and said, "This is my son, Ben. He is turning four today. Do you want to say hi to him?" + +Sara nodded. She followed the lady to a room where Ben was sleeping. He had a blue blanket and a teddy bear. He looked very cute. + +The lady whispered, "He is still taking a nap. He will wake up soon. Do you want to give him a hug?" + +Sara nodded again. She tiptoed to the bed and gave Ben a gentle hug. Ben opened his eyes and smiled. He saw Sara and said, "Hi. Who are you?" + +Sara smiled back and said, "Hi. I'm Sara. I helped my mom deliver your cake. Happy birthday." + +Ben said, "Thank you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Sara said, "Yes, please." + +Ben and Sara became friends. They played with the balloons and the teddy bear. They ate some cake and sang happy birthday. Sara had a lot of fun. She was glad she met Ben and his cute dog. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long yellow hair and a pink dress. Sara liked to comb Lily's hair and make her look pretty. + +One day, Sara saw a woman in the park. The woman had long yellow hair and a pink dress, just like Lily. Sara ran to the woman and said, "Hello, you look like my doll Lily. Can I play with you?" + +The woman smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. What is your name?" + +"Sara. And this is Lily," Sara said, holding up her doll. + +The woman looked at Lily and said, "She is very pretty. But her hair is very messy. Do you want me to help you comb it?" + +Sara nodded and gave Lily to the woman. The woman took a comb from her bag and gently brushed Lily's hair. She made it smooth and shiny. She also fixed Lily's dress and tied a ribbon around her waist. + +"There, now she looks even more like me," the woman said, giving Lily back to Sara. + +Sara hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, you are very nice. And you shine like the sun." + +The woman laughed and said, "You are very sweet. And you shine like a star." +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. They both had homes, but Lily's home was bigger and nicer than Tom's home. Lily had many toys and books and clothes, and Tom had few. Lily sometimes shared her things with Tom, but not always. + +One day, Lily and Tom found a shiny ball in the park. They both wanted to own the ball, but there was only one. They started to fight over the ball, pulling and pushing and shouting. + +"Give me the ball, it's mine!" Lily said. + +"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Tom said. + +They did not listen to each other or try to share. They fought so hard that the ball flew out of their hands and rolled into the street. A big car came and hit the ball, and the ball popped and broke. + +Lily and Tom stopped fighting and looked at the ball. They felt sad and sorry. They had lost the ball and hurt their friendship. They realized that owning things was not as important as being kind and fair. + +But it was too late. The ball was gone, and so was their fun. They walked away from each other, angry and lonely. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy or selfish. Share what you have and respect what others have. Owning things can make you happy, but losing friends can make you unhappy. +Lily loved ponies very much. She had many pony toys and books, but she wanted a real pony to play with. She asked her mom and dad for a pony many times, but they always said no. They said ponies were too big and too costly for their home. + +One day, Lily saw a sign that said "Pony Rides" at the park. She ran to her mom and dad and pointed at the sign. She said, "Please, please, can I ride a pony? I want a pony so much!" Her mom and dad looked at each other and smiled. They said, "Okay, Lily, you can ride a pony for a little while. But you have to be careful and listen to the pony man. He will tell you how to be safe on the pony." + +Lily was very happy and thanked her mom and dad. She followed the pony man to the pony pen. There were many ponies of different colors and sizes. Lily saw a white pony with a pink mane and tail. She said, "I want that one! That one is the prettiest!" The pony man said, "Sorry, Lily, that pony is not for riding. She is very shy and scared of people. She might kick or bite you if you try to ride her. Why don't you choose another pony? They are all very nice and gentle." + +Lily did not listen to the pony man. She said, "No, I want that one! I demand that one! She is my pony!" She ran to the white pony and tried to climb on her back. The white pony did not like that. She neighed loudly and shook her head. She kicked her legs and threw Lily off her back. Lily fell to the ground and hurt her arm. She cried and cried. + +Her mom and dad and the pony man ran to her and helped her up. They checked her arm and saw that it was bruised, but not broken. They said, "Lily, are you okay? What did you do? Why did you not listen to the pony man?" Lily said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I wanted the white pony. She was so pretty. I thought she would like me." The pony man said, "Lily, ponies are not toys. They are living animals with feelings and needs. You cannot demand them to do what you want. You have to respect them and be kind to them. Then they will trust you and be your friends. The white pony was afraid of you because you were rude and loud. If you had chosen another pony, you would have had a fun and safe ride." + +Lily learned her lesson. She said sorry to the pony man and the white pony. She said thank you to her mom and dad for taking her to the park. She said she would be more careful and respectful of ponies and other animals. She still loved ponies very much, but she understood that they were not for demanding, but for loving. +Sam liked to help his dad with work. His dad was a painter. He painted houses and walls and fences. He had a big machine that could spray paint very fast. Sam wanted to try it. + +One day, his dad had to paint a fence. He let Sam hold the machine with him. Sam felt mighty. He pushed the button and saw the paint come out. He moved the machine up and down and left and right. He made the fence blue and red and yellow. + +But he also sprayed the grass and the flowers and the car and the dog. His dad was not happy. He said, "Sam, you have to be careful. You can't spray everything. You have to aim at the fence only. You made a big mess." + +Sam was sorry. He did not mean to spray everything. He wanted to help his dad with work. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I was trying to be mighty like you. Can I help you clean up?" + +His dad smiled. He said, "It's okay, Sam. I know you were trying to help. You are mighty, but you also have to be careful. Yes, you can help me clean up. Let's get the hose and the soap and the rags." + +Sam and his dad worked together to clean up the mess. They washed the grass and the flowers and the car and the dog. They also painted the fence again, with one color. Sam learned how to spray better. He was happy to help his dad with work. He was mighty and careful. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the fall. They see many red and yellow leaves on the ground. They want to make a big pile of leaves and jump in it. + +"Let's use the rake to get the leaves," Ben says. He picks up the rake and starts to drag it across the lawn. "This is easy and fun!" + +Sam nods and follows him. He also picks up a rake and helps Ben. They work hard and soon they have a big pile of leaves. They smile and run to the pile. + +"Ready, set, go!" Ben shouts. He jumps in the pile and laughs. He feels the leaves under him. He likes the sound they make. + +Sam jumps in the pile too. He lands on top of Ben and giggles. He tries to throw some leaves at Ben. But then he feels something sharp and hard. He screams. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cries. He holds his hand and sees blood. He looks at the pile and sees the rake. He jumped on the rake and it cut his hand. + +Ben hears Sam and gets scared. He jumps out of the pile and sees Sam's hand. He sees the rake and feels sorry. He did not listen to Mom when she said to put the rake away. He forgot the rake in the pile. + +"Sam, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ben says. He hugs Sam and tries to stop the blood. He cries too. + +Mom hears the boys and runs outside. She sees Sam's hand and the rake. She gets angry and worried. She takes Sam to the car and drives to the doctor. She tells Ben to stay inside and wait. She says he is in big trouble. + +Ben sits on the couch and feels sad. He wishes he listened to Mom. He wishes he did not hurt Sam. He wishes he did not play with the rake. He wishes he did not make the pile of leaves. He thinks it was not easy and fun. He thinks it was bad and stupid. He thinks he is a bad brother. He cries more. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play with snow. They made a big snowman in their yard, with a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose. They also gave him a razor for a mouth, because they thought it looked funny. + +"Look at our snowman, he is so cool!" Sam said. + +"Yes, he is. But we have to be careful, the razor is sharp. Don't touch it, or you will get hurt," Tom said. + +They went inside to have some hot cocoa, and left the snowman outside. They did not know that the sun was coming out, and it was getting warmer. + +The next day, they went outside to play with the snowman again. But they saw something that made them sad. The snowman was gone! All that was left was a pile of snow, a hat, a scarf, and a carrot. And the razor, which was still shiny and sharp. + +"What happened to our snowman?" Sam asked. + +"He melted, because it was too hot. The sun made him go away," Tom said. + +They felt bad for their snowman, and wished they could make him again. But then they saw something that made them happy. The snow had melted into a big puddle, and they could splash and play in it. + +"Look, the snowman gave us a new game! We can have fun in the water!" Sam said. + +"Yes, we can. But we have to be careful, the razor is still there. Don't step on it, or you will get hurt," Tom said. + +They moved the razor away from the puddle, and put it in the trash. Then they had fun in the water, and forgot about their snowman. They did not know that the next day, it would snow again. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their furry dog, Max. One day, they saw a big sign on a tree. The sign had a picture of a cat and some words. Tom could read some words. He read the sign to Sam. + +"Lost cat. Name is Fluffy. Very furry and friendly. If you find Fluffy, call this number. Reward: 100 dollars." + +Tom and Sam wanted the reward. They decided to look for Fluffy. They took Max with them. They walked around the park, the street, and the store. They did not see Fluffy. + +Then, they saw a house with a fence. Behind the fence, they saw a furry cat. The cat looked like Fluffy. Tom and Sam ran to the fence. They called the cat. + +"Fluffy, Fluffy, come here. We want to help you. We want to take you home. We want the reward." + +The cat heard them and came closer. But the cat was not Fluffy. The cat was angry and mean. The cat hissed and scratched them. Tom and Sam cried. They ran away from the fence. + +But they forgot about Max. Max was still at the fence. He barked at the cat. The cat did not like Max. The cat jumped over the fence and attacked Max. Max was hurt. He yelped and whimpered. + +Tom and Sam heard Max. They turned around and saw the cat and Max. They were scared. They wanted to help Max. But they did not know how. They did not have a stick or a stone. They did not have a phone or a friend. They did not have anything. + +The cat was stronger than Max. The cat bit Max. Max stopped barking. Max stopped moving. Max was dead. + +Tom and Sam were sad. They lost their furry dog. They did not find Fluffy. They did not get the reward. They only got scratches and tears. They wished they never saw the sign. They wished they never left their home. They wished they never met the cat. They wished they could have Max back. But they could not. The end. +Tom and Lily like to play soccer with their friends. They go to the park and find a big pitch. The pitch is green and soft. They kick the ball and run and laugh. + +But Sam is lazy. He does not want to play. He sits on the grass and watches. He thinks soccer is boring. He yawns and picks his nose. + +Tom and Lily see Sam and feel sad. They want him to join them. They have an idea. They run to Sam and tickle him. Sam giggles and tries to get away. He stands up and runs. + +Tom and Lily chase him. They catch him and make him kneel. They say, "Sam, you are our prisoner. You have to play soccer with us or we will tickle you more." + +Sam pretends to be scared. He says, "Oh no, please don't tickle me. I will play soccer with you. But you have to be nice to me." + +Tom and Lily smile. They help Sam up and give him the ball. They say, "OK, Sam, you can be on our team. But you have to try hard and have fun." + +Sam nods. He kicks the ball and runs with Tom and Lily. He finds out that soccer is not boring. It is fun. He is not lazy anymore. He is happy. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck in the park. It had a big flag on it. The flag was red and white and blue. It was very pretty. + +Tim and Sam ran to the truck. They wanted to see the flag. A man came out of the truck. He smiled at them. He said, "Hello, kids. Do you like my flag?" Tim and Sam nodded. They said, "Yes, we do. It is very big and nice." + +The man said, "Thank you. I am a soldier. I work for the army. The flag is my country's flag. I love my country. Do you love your country?" Tim and Sam nodded again. They said, "Yes, we do. We live in a good country." + +The man said, "That's good. I am happy to hear that. You are very smart and kind kids. Do you want to see inside the truck?" Tim and Sam said, "Yes, please. That would be fun." + +The man said, "Okay, come with me. I will show you. But be careful. The truck is very big and heavy. It has a lot of things inside. Some things are for fighting. Some things are for helping. I will tell you what they are." He opened the door of the truck. He said, "Welcome to my truck. Let's go inside." Tim and Sam followed him. They were very excited. They wanted to see the truck and the flag and the things. They thanked the man for being nice to them. They learned a lot from him. They had a great day in the park. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they also liked to make mud pies. They found a big puddle and scooped up some mud with their hands. They shaped it into pies and put them on a bench. + +"Look, we made pies!" Tom said. "They are yummy!" + +"Let's pretend we are chefs!" Anna said. "We can sell them to people!" + +They put a sign on the bench that said "Mud pies, one coin each". They waited for customers. + +Soon, a man came by. He was wearing a nice suit and a shiny belt. He looked very busy. He did not see the sign or the pies. He sat on the bench to check his phone. + +Tom and Anna gasped. The man had sat on their pies! They were all squished and smeared on his suit and belt. + +"Hey, mister, you ruined our pies!" Tom shouted. + +The man looked up and saw the mess. He was very angry. He yelled at Tom and Anna. He said they were naughty and dirty. He said he would tell their parents. + +Tom and Anna were scared. They did not mean to make the man mad. They just wanted to have fun. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a nearby bench. She saw the man and the pies. She was not angry. She was modest. She said sorry to the man. She said Tom and Anna were just playing. She said she would help him clean his suit and belt. + +She took out a cloth from her bag and wiped the mud off the man's suit and belt. She said it was not a big deal. She said mud was easy to wash off. She said the man should not be so mean to children. + +The man calmed down. He saw that the mom was kind and modest. He felt bad for yelling. He said sorry to Tom and Anna. He said he was in a hurry and did not pay attention. He said he did not mean to hurt their feelings. + +He gave them each a coin. He said they could buy real pies with them. He said he hoped they would enjoy them. + +Tom and Anna smiled. They said thank you to the man. They said they were sorry for their pies. They said they would not make mud pies again. + +They hugged their mom. She hugged them back. She said she was proud of them. She said they were good and modest. She said she loved them. + +They went to buy real pies. They shared them with their mom. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play near the creek. They liked to splash in the water, catch frogs and look for shiny stones. One day, they saw a big log across the creek. They wanted to cross it and see what was on the other side. + +Lily said, "Let's go, Tom. It looks fun." But Tom said, "Wait, Lily. We need to prepare. The log is wet and slippery. We need to find a stick to help us balance. And we need to tell our moms where we are going." + +Lily did not want to wait. She said, "I don't need a stick. I can balance by myself. And our moms know we are near the creek. Come on, Tom. Don't be scared." She ran to the log and stepped on it. + +But Tom was right. The log was wet and slippery. Lily lost her balance and fell into the creek. She got wet and cold and scared. She cried for help. Tom heard her and ran to the log. He found a stick and used it to cross the log. He helped Lily out of the creek and gave her his jacket. + +Lily said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I am sorry I did not listen to you. You were smart to prepare. I was silly to rush. I learned my lesson. Next time, I will be more careful and follow your advice." + +Tom said, "You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you are okay. You are a good friend, too. I forgive you. Let's go back to our moms and tell them what happened. They will be happy to see us and give us a hug." + +Lily and Tom walked back to their moms, holding hands and smiling. They learned that it is better to prepare than to rush, and that it is good to listen to your friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and make things. One day, they decide to create a big cross with their blocks. They put four long blocks in the middle and four short blocks on the ends. + +"Look, we made a cross!" Tom says. "It is very big and strong." + +"Yes, it is!" Mia agrees. "But it is not very charming. It needs some color and sparkle." + +Mia runs to get some stickers and crayons. She comes back with a lot of them. She sticks some stickers on the cross and draws some flowers and stars with the crayons. + +"Now it is charming!" Mia says. "It is the most charming cross ever!" + +Tom smiles and nods. He likes the cross too. He thinks Mia is very clever and kind. He gives her a hug and says, "You are my best friend, Mia. You make everything better." + +Mia hugs him back and says, "You are my best friend too, Tom. You make everything fun." + +They keep playing with their cross and their blocks. They are very happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to pretend they were pirates or explorers. They found a big chest with old clothes and toys. Lily put on a hat and a coat. Ben wore a scarf and a belt. + +"Look, Lily, I found a candle!" Ben said. He held up a long, white stick with a metal tip. "We can use it to see in the dark." + +Lily frowned. "That's not a candle, Ben. That's a fake candle. It's not real. It has no fire. It's just for show." + +Ben did not believe her. He wanted to try it. He saw a small box with a red button. He thought it was a match. He pushed the button. + +Suddenly, the fake candle made a loud noise. It shot out a stream of water. It soaked Lily and Ben and the chest. They screamed and dropped the candle. + +"Ben, you're so silly!" Lily said. "That was a trick candle. It was a joke. It was not for playing. It was for hanging on the wall and making people laugh." + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to make a mess. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know. It looked like a candle. I wanted to see it work." + +Lily hugged him back. She was not mad. She said, "It's okay, Ben. It was funny. But next time, be careful. Don't touch things you don't know. And don't hang trick candles on the wall. They might get you wet." +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they have a task. They have to clean their room before lunch. Mom says so. + +Tom and Sue start to clean. They put the blocks in a box. They put the cars on a shelf. But then, Tom sees a big red car. He likes it very much. He takes it and makes vroom-vroom noises. + +"Tom, stop!" Sue says. "We have to finish our task. Mom will be mad if we don't." + +"But I want to play with the car," Tom says. "It is so fun. Look, it has lights and sounds." + +Sue is troubled. She wants to play with the car too. But she also wants to do the task. She thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea. + +"Tom, how about this?" she says. "We can play with the car for five minutes. Then we can put it away and finish our task. OK?" + +Tom thinks too. He likes Sue's idea. He nods and smiles. + +"OK, Sue," he says. "That sounds good. Let's play with the car for five minutes. Then we can clean our room." + +Tom and Sue play with the car. They have fun. They make vroom-vroom noises and beep-beep sounds. They pretend to drive around the room. After five minutes, they put the car on the shelf. They finish their task. They clean their room. Mom is happy. She gives them a hug and a cookie. Tom and Sue are happy too. They did their task and they played with the car. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben are on a big boat with their mom and dad. They are going to see a new place. Anna likes to look at the water and the birds. Ben likes to play with his toy cars. + +"Look, Anna, look!" Ben says. He points to something far away. "What is that?" + +Anna follows his finger. She sees a big green thing in the water. It has trees and rocks and sand. She remembers what mom told her. + +"That is an island, Ben," Anna says. "It is a place where some people and animals live. But not many. It is very small." + +"Can we go there?" Ben asks. He wants to see the island up close. He wants to play on the sand and find shells. + +"Maybe," Anna says. "We have to ask mom and dad first. They know where we can go and where we can't. We have to be polite and listen to them." + +Anna and Ben run to their mom and dad. They point to the island and ask if they can visit it. Mom and dad smile and nod. + +"Yes, you can," mom says. "But only for a little while. We have to go back to the boat soon. And you have to be careful and stay with us. The island is very pretty, but it can also be dangerous." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They say thank you and put on their hats and sunscreen. They hold their mom and dad's hands and get off the boat. They walk to the island and explore it. They see flowers and birds and bugs. They play on the sand and find shells. They have a lot of fun. They are polite and careful. They do not touch anything that can hurt them. They do not make a mess. They are good children. +Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a mule in a field near their house. The mule was big and brown and had long ears. + +"Can we pet the mule?" Tim asked Lily. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe we should ask the farmer first." + +They walked to the farmer's house and knocked on the door. The farmer came out and smiled at them. + +"Hello, children. What can I do for you?" he asked. + +"Can we pet your mule, please?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, you can. His name is Jack. He is very friendly and likes carrots. But be careful, he is very high. You might need a stool to reach him," the farmer said. + +He gave them a stool and some carrots and led them to the field. Tim and Lily climbed on the stool and petted Jack's soft fur. They fed him some carrots and he made a funny noise with his mouth. + +"Thank you, farmer. Jack is very nice," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, children. Come back anytime," the farmer said. + +Tim and Lily waved goodbye to the farmer and Jack and ran back to their house. They had a lot of fun with the high mule. +Lila liked to speed on her bike. She liked to go fast and feel the wind on her face. She did not like to stop for cars or people or signs. She thought they were boring and slow. + +One day, Lila had to go to her tutor. Her tutor was a nice lady who helped her with words and numbers. She was very organized and had many books and games. Lila did not like to go to her tutor. She thought it was hard and dull. + +Lila decided to speed on her bike to her tutor. She did not want to be late, but she also did not want to miss any fun. She zoomed past the park, the store, and the school. She did not look or listen for anything else. + +"Stop, Lila, stop!" her tutor shouted. She was standing on the sidewalk, waving her arms. She saw Lila coming too fast and too close. She was worried and scared. + +But Lila did not stop. She did not hear or see her tutor. She only saw a big truck on the road. It was too late to turn or brake. Lila crashed into the truck and fell off her bike. She was hurt and bleeding. She cried and screamed. + +The truck driver and the tutor ran to help Lila. They called for help and tried to calm her down. But Lila was in pain and shock. She wished she had listened and slowed down. She learned a hard lesson that day. Speeding was not fun or smart. It was dangerous and foolish. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the big museum with their moms. The museum has many things to see and learn. + +Tom and Sam enter a room with old things. They see pictures, clothes, tools, and toys from a long time ago. This is history, their moms say. History is what happened before we were born. + +Tom likes history. He thinks it is great. He wants to look at everything and ask questions. Sam does not like history. He thinks it is boring. He wants to play with his car. + +"Come on, Sam, let's see this," Tom says. He points to a big train with wheels and smoke. + +"No, Tom, let's go there," Sam says. He points to a room with animals and colors. + +Tom and Sam start to argue. They pull each other's arms. They make loud noises. Their moms hear them and come to stop them. + +"Tom, Sam, what are you doing?" their moms say. "You are making a scene. You are not being nice to each other. You are not enjoying the museum." + +Tom and Sam feel bad. They say sorry to their moms and to each other. They decide to take turns. First, they go to see the train with Tom. Then, they go to see the animals with Sam. They learn new things and have fun. They are friends again. +Anna liked to play with her ancient telephone. It was big and black and had a long cord. She found it in the attic with her grandma. Grandma said it was very old and did not work anymore, but Anna did not mind. She pretended to call her friends and talk to them. + +One day, Anna was playing with her telephone when she heard a voice. It was not her friend, it was a man. He said, "Hello, hello, is anyone there?" Anna was surprised and scared. She did not know who the man was. She dropped the telephone and ran to her grandma. + +"Grandma, grandma, there is a man in the telephone!" she cried. Grandma looked at her and smiled. She took her hand and led her to the attic. She showed her a big box with wires and buttons. She said, "This is a radio, Anna. It can pick up sounds from far away. Sometimes, people talk on the radio. They do not know we can hear them. They are not in the telephone, they are somewhere else." + +Anna looked at the radio and the telephone. She understood. She said, "Oh, I see. They are not my friends, they are strangers. They do not care about me, they do not know me." Grandma nodded and hugged her. She said, "That's right, Anna. They do not care about you, but I do. I love you very much. You are my special friend." Anna smiled and hugged her back. She said, "I love you too, grandma. You are my best friend." They went downstairs and had some cookies. Anna did not play with the ancient telephone anymore. She played with her grandma instead. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Tom sees a new car in the toy box. It is red and shiny. He wants to play with it. + +"Can I have the car?" Tom asks Mia. + +"No, it is mine. I got it for my birthday. You have your own car," Mia says. She holds the car tight in her hand. + +Tom feels sad and angry. He tries to take the car from Mia. Mia pulls it back. They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes into the room. She sees the car and the dolls and the cars on the floor. She sees Tom and Mia with red skin and tears in their eyes. + +"Tom, Mia, what is going on? Why are you fighting?" Mom asks. + +Tom and Mia ignore Mom. They still want the car. They do not listen to Mom. They do not say sorry. + +Mom feels sad and angry too. She takes the car from Tom and Mia. She puts it on the shelf. + +"Tom, Mia, you are not playing nice. You are not sharing. You are not being good friends. You cannot have the car until you calm down and say sorry to each other," Mom says. + +Tom and Mia look at Mom. They look at the car. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They do not want to fight. They want to play. + +"Sorry, Tom," Mia says. + +"Sorry, Mia," Tom says. + +They hug each other. They hug Mom. They pick up the dolls and the cars. They play together. They share. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She gives them the car. They say thank you. They are good friends. The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. Spot is big and brown and likes to run and jump. + +One day, Lily and Ben want to play fetch with Spot. They take a ball and go to the park. They throw the ball and Spot runs after it. Spot brings the ball back and wags his tail. Lily and Ben clap and laugh. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Lily says. "You are very fast and strong. You need a lot of exercise to be healthy." + +"Yes, you do," Ben says. "But we need exercise too. Let's run with Spot and see who is faster." + +Lily and Ben start to run with Spot. They have fun and feel happy. They listen to the birds and the wind. They see the flowers and the trees. + +But then, Spot stops running. He lies down on the grass and does not move. Lily and Ben run to him and call his name. But Spot does not answer. He does not breathe. He does not open his eyes. + +"Spot, Spot, wake up!" Lily cries. "What is wrong with you?" + +Ben feels Spot's fur. It is cold and stiff. He remembers what Mommy told him about dead things. Dead things do not move or talk or feel. Dead things are gone forever. + +"Spot is dead, Lily," Ben says softly. "He is not playing. He is not sleeping. He is dead." + +Lily and Ben hug each other and cry. They are very sad and miss Spot. They wish he could play with them again. They do not understand why he is dead. They love him very much. +Lila and Ben were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys in the living room. One day, Lila saw a shiny red car on the shelf. She wanted to play with it, so she took it down and made it zoom on the floor. + +Ben saw Lila with his car and got angry. He said, "That is my car! Give it back to me!" He tried to grab the car from Lila, but she held it tight. They both pulled and tugged on the car, until it broke in half. The car made a loud snap and the wheels fell off. + +Lila and Ben looked at the broken car and felt sad. They both started to weep. They wept so loud that their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and the tears on their faces. She said, "What happened here? Why are you crying?" + +Lila and Ben were confused. They did not know what to say. They both wanted the car, but they did not want to hurt each other. They felt sorry for breaking the car and making each other weep. They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry." + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I'm glad you are sorry. But you should not fight over toys. Toys are meant to be shared and enjoyed. If you want to play with something, you should ask first and take turns. That way, you can have fun and be kind to each other. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will share and take turns from now on." They hugged each other and said, "I love you." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too. Now, let's see if we can fix this car together." She took some glue and tape and helped them put the car back together. Lila and Ben were happy and played with the car together.

One of the wheels came off and the handle snapped. Tim and Lily were very sad. + +They went to their dad and showed him the wagon. "Can you fix it, dad?" they asked. "Please, please, please?" + +Dad looked at the wagon and smiled. "I think I can," he said. "But I need some help. Do you want to help me restore the wagon?" + +Tim and Lily nodded eagerly. "Yes, dad, we want to help!" + +Dad took them to his workshop, where he had many tools and things. He found a new wheel and a new handle for the wagon. He also found some paint and a brush. He showed Tim and Lily how to attach the wheel and the handle with screws and a screwdriver. He let them paint the wagon with the brush. They chose a bright blue color, because it was their favorite. + +When they were done, the wagon looked like new. It was blue and shiny and had four wheels and a handle. Tim and Lily were very happy. They thanked their dad and hugged him. Then they took their wagon outside to play. + +They saw their friend Max, who had an enormous balloon. It was bigger than him and had many colors. He was holding it with a string. He saw Tim and Lily's wagon and was amazed. + +"Wow, what a cool wagon!" he said. "Can I see it?" + +"Sure, Max, you can see it," Tim and Lily said. "But be careful with your balloon. It might pop." + +They let Max touch their wagon and admire it. They told him how they helped their dad restore it. Max was impressed. + +"That's awesome," he said. "You are very good at fixing things. Can I ride in your wagon?" + +"Of course, Max, you can ride in our wagon," Tim and Lily said. "But you have to share your balloon with us." + +"OK, deal," Max said. He gave them the string of his balloon. They put it in the wagon, along with their toys, their snacks, and their cat. Then they took turns pulling the wagon around the yard. They had a lot of fun with their wagon and their balloon. They were very good friends. +Lily and Max were twins. They liked to go to the mall with Mom. The mall had many shops and toys and people. Lily and Max liked to look at everything. + +One day, Mom took them to the mall.

They wanted the ball. + +"Mom, can we have the ball?" they asked. + +"No, not today. We have to go home soon. Maybe another time," Mom said. + +But Lily and Max did not listen. They waited until Mom was busy. Then they ran to the shop. They grabbed the ball and ran away. They thought they were clever. + +But they were not. A man saw them. He worked in the shop. He was angry. He ran after them. He shouted, "Stop! You can't steal the ball! That's bad!" + +Lily and Max were scared. They dropped the ball and cried. Mom heard them. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the man and the ball. She was sad and sorry. + +"I'm so sorry. They are very young. They don't know better. Please forgive them," she said to the man. + +The man was still angry, but he was kind too. He said, "OK, I forgive them. But they have to learn. Stealing is wrong. They have to say sorry and promise not to do it again." + +Lily and Max said sorry and promised. They hugged Mom and the man. They learned their lesson. They never tried to steal again. They were good twins. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toy train. They liked to make the train go fast on the rail. They had a big rail that went around the room. They wanted to make the train go faster and faster. + +"Look, Mia, the train is so fast!" Sam said. + +"Yes, Sam, it is very fast. But can it go faster?" Mia asked. + +They tried to make the train go faster. They pushed the button harder and harder. But the train did not go faster. It started to make a loud noise. Then it stopped. + +"Oh no, the train is broken!" Sam said. + +They were very frustrated. They wanted to play with the train. They did not know how to fix it. + +They looked at the train.

She asked her mom, "Can I take Lily, please?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can, but be careful. Don't lose her or break her. She is very special." + +Anna nodded and put Lily in a small chest. The chest was pink and had flowers on it. Anna liked the chest. It was a gift from her dad. He said it was a magic chest.

They said they would buy her a new chest and a new doll. They said they would make her happy again. + +But Anna did not want a new chest or a new doll. She wanted Lily. She wanted her dad.

He had said he would come back soon. + +Anna hoped he would come back soon. She hoped he would bring Lily back. She hoped he would make the cat go away. She hoped he would make everything better. + +She missed him very much. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to slide, run and climb. But their favorite thing is to swing. They swing high and low, fast and slow. They feel like they can fly in the air. + +One day, they go to the park when it is dark. The moon and the stars are bright. They are not scared. They think it is fun to swing in the dark. They can see the lights of the cars and the houses. + +"Look, Anna, I can fly to the moon!" Ben says. He swings very high and kicks his legs. + +"Me too, Ben, me too!" Anna says. She swings as high as she can and reaches her arms. + +They laugh and shout. They feel free and happy.

They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Let's play hide and seek!" Lily said. + +"OK, you count and I hide!" Max said. + +Lily closed her eyes and counted to ten. Max ran to the kitchen and opened the fridge. He saw a big bowl of fruit salad. He thought it looked yummy. He took a spoon and ate some. Then he had an idea. He took the bowl and ran to the living room. He hid behind the sofa and waited for Lily. + +Lily finished counting and opened her eyes. She looked for Max. She checked the bedroom, the bathroom, and the closet. She could not find him. She went to the kitchen and saw the fridge was open. She saw the spoon and the empty bowl. She followed the trail of fruit bits on the floor. She went to the living room and saw Max behind the sofa. + +"I found you!" Lily said. + +"Boo!" Max said. He jumped out and threw the bowl in the air. The fruit salad scattered all over the room. It landed on the carpet, the table, the lamp, and the TV. + +"Max, what did you do?" Lily said. She was shocked. + +"It's fun!" Max said. He laughed. + +"It's not fun, it's a mess!" Lily said. She was angry. + +They heard a noise. It was their mom. She came home from work. She saw the fruit salad everywhere. She was not happy. + +"Who did this?" she said. She looked at Lily and Max. + +They looked at each other. They knew they were in trouble. They said sorry. They helped mom clean up. They learned their lesson. They never played with food again. +Sara liked to polish her shoes. She had a small brush and a tin of wax. She made her shoes shiny and clean.

"Let's use it for our game." + +"What game?" Sam asked. + +"A scare game!" Tim said. "We can scare mom and dad with the screw. It will be fun!" + +Sam was not sure. He thought scaring was not nice. But he wanted to play with Tim. So he said, "OK, let's do it." + +They took the screw and hid behind the sofa. They waited for mom and dad to come. When they saw them, they jumped out and yelled, "Boo! Boo! Look at the screw!" + +Mom and dad were very scared. They thought the screw was a snake or a bug. They screamed and ran away. Tim and Sam laughed. + +But then, they heard a loud crash. They looked and saw that mom and dad had knocked over a lamp. The lamp broke and the glass cut mom's hand. She was bleeding and crying. + +"Oh no!" Tim and Sam said. They felt bad. They ran to mom and dad and said, "We are sorry! We are sorry! We did not mean to scare you. We were just playing." + +Mom and dad were angry and sad. They said, "That was not a nice game. That was a mean game. You could have hurt us or yourselves with the screw. You should never play with things that are not toys. And you should never scare people for fun. That is not how friends treat each other." + +Tim and Sam learned their lesson. They said, "We are sorry. We will not do it again. We will be nice friends." + +But mom and dad did not forgive them right away. They had to go to the doctor and get a bandage for mom's hand. They also had to pay for the lamp. They did not let Tim and Sam play together for a long time. Tim and Sam were sad and lonely.

They played in their yard and had fun. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many stones on it. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on top. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Mia said. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Mia!" Ben said. "But be careful. The stones are slippery and hard." + +They climbed the hill, holding hands. They saw many shapes and colors on the stones. They looked like pictures of animals and people and stars. + +"What are these, Mia?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe they are stories. Or maybe they are magic." Mia said. + +They reached the top of the hill. They saw a big building made of stones. It had a door and windows and a roof. It looked like a house, but bigger and older. + +"What is this, Mia?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is a temple. A temple is a place where people pray and say thank you to God." Mia said. + +"Can we go inside, Mia?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, Ben.

You are welcome here. This is a place of peace and love and learning." He said. + +"Thank you, sir. What are you doing?" Ben asked. + +"I am reading a book. It is a book of stories and wisdom. It tells me about God and the world and myself." He said. + +"Can you tell us a story, sir?" Mia asked. + +"Of course, Mia. I would love to tell you a story. But first, you have to guess what the story is about. I will give you a clue. It is about a boy who had a dream." He said. + +"A boy who had a dream? Hmm. Is it about a boy who dreamed of flying?" Ben guessed. + +"No, Ben. That is a good guess, but not the right one. Try again." He said. + +"Is it about a boy who dreamed of being a king?" Mia guessed. + +"No, Mia. That is also a good guess, but not the right one. Try again." He said. + +They thought hard. They tried to guess what the story was about. They had fun. They learned. They felt happy.

She hears no noise. She feels peaceful. She is happy. +Anna and Lily were sisters. Anna was older and gifted. She could draw, sing, and dance very well. Lily liked to watch her sister do these things. She admired her a lot. + +One day, Anna had a big show at school. She was going to draw a picture, sing a song, and dance with her friends. Lily went with her mom and dad to see the show. She was very excited. + +Anna did a great job. Her picture was beautiful, her song was sweet, and her dance was graceful. Everyone clapped and cheered for her. Lily was so proud of her sister. She wanted to tell her how much she loved her. + +After the show, Lily ran to Anna and hugged her.

She took a bite of the bitter sausage. But she did not like it at all. It made her mouth feel dry and sour. She spit it out and made a face. + +"Yuck! I don't like bitter sausage!" she said. + +Her mom smiled and gave her a glass of water. "That's okay, Lily. You don't have to like everything. But it is good to try new things sometimes. You might find something you love. And you might learn something about other people and places." + +Lily drank the water and felt better. She agreed with her mom. She decided to try new things more often. But she still liked her hot and juicy and salty sausages best. +Lila and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and their toys. But sometimes they get tired and hot. + +One day, Lila and Ben find a big tree in the park. The tree has green leaves and brown bark. The tree makes a cool shade under it. Lila and Ben think the tree is nice. + +They go under the tree and sit on the grass. They have a bow and some arrows. They pretend to be hunters and shoot at the birds and the squirrels. They make noises and laugh. They have fun with their bow and arrows. + +But soon they get bored and sleepy. They put their bow and arrows down and lie on the grass. They look at the sky and the clouds. They see shapes and colors. They talk and giggle. They have fun with their eyes and ears. + +Then they close their eyes and rest. They feel the cool breeze and the warm sun. They hear the birds and the squirrels. They smell the grass and the flowers. They have fun with their nose and skin. + +Lila and Ben rest under the tree. They are happy and calm. They dream of more games and adventures. They love the park and the tree. They love each other. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had a big ship that they could put in the water and make it go.

Tim cried. + +"Don't worry, we can get it back," Sam said. He had an idea. He took his small ship and threw it in the air. He made a sound like a plane. + +"Look, Tim, our small ship is flying! It can help our big ship!" Sam said. + +He pretended that his small ship was talking to his big ship. He said, "Hello, big ship, I am here to help you. Follow me and I will show you the way back. You can do it, big ship, you are strong and brave!" + +Tim smiled and joined Sam. He also threw his small ship in the air and made a sound like a plane. He said, "Yes, big ship, listen to our small ship. He is your friend and he wants to help you. You are not alone, big ship, we are here for you. You can make it, big ship, you are hard and fast!" + +The brothers encouraged their big ship with their small ships. They hoped that their big ship would hear them and come back to them. They did not give up. + +And then, something amazing happened. The wind changed and the water calmed down. The big ship turned around and started to move towards them. It looked like it was following their small ships. + +"Look, Sam, our big ship is coming back!" Tim shouted. + +"Yay, Tim, our big ship is coming back!"

It landed on the window of the house and broke the glass. + +Mom heard the crash and came outside. She saw the broken window and the spear on the ground. She was very angry and scared. She shouted, "Sam, what have you done? You could have hurt yourself or someone else with that spear. That was very naughty and dangerous. You are not allowed to play with the spear anymore. And you have to pay for the window with your pocket money." + +Sam felt very sorry and sad. He wished he had not taken the spear from Tom. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom.

But you have to be careful and listen to me. The spear is not a toy. It is a tool that only grown-ups can use. And you have to tidy up your toys when I tell you. Do you understand?" + +Sam nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I won't play with the spear again. And I'll tidy up my toys. Can I still play with Tom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can still play with Tom. But only with safe toys. And after you help me clean up the window. Come on, let's go inside and have some lunch. Maybe we can have some ice cream later." + +Sam smiled and followed Mom inside. He hoped Tom would not be mad at him for taking his spear.

It kept pecking and pulling. It made a big mess of the tree. + +Ben had an idea. He took the star and waved it at the goose. The star was shiny and sparkly. The goose liked shiny things. It stopped pecking and looked at the star. + +"Come here, goose!" Ben said. "I have something for you!" + +He led the goose away from the tree with the star. The goose followed him.

They go back to the sand and play with their trucks. They take turns to press the button and watch the truck change. They have fun and forget about the heat. They are happy. +Lily was a girl who liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Zoe. Zoe had a pink dress, blue eyes, and a zipper on her back. Lily took Zoe everywhere she went. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Zoe. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She left Zoe on a bench and ran to the slide. She had fun sliding down and up again. She forgot about Zoe. + +When she remembered Zoe, she ran back to the bench. But Zoe was not there. Lily felt anxious. She looked around and saw a boy holding Zoe. He was pulling the zipper on her back. Lily ran to the boy and said, "That's my doll! Give her back!" + +The boy said, "No, it's mine now. I found it on the bench. It's a cool zipper. I want to see what's inside." + +Lily said, "No, you can't do that. You will hurt Zoe. She is my friend. Please give her back." + +The boy said, "No, I don't care. I want to see what's inside." He pulled the zipper harder and harder. Lily heard a rip. She saw stuffing coming out of Zoe's back. She cried. + +The boy said, "Oops. I broke it. It's not cool anymore. Here, you can have it back." He threw Zoe on the ground and ran away. + +Lily picked up Zoe and hugged her. She saw the hole in her back and the stuffing coming out. She felt sad. She said, "I'm sorry, Zoe. I should have taken care of you. I should not have left you alone. I love you." + +Her mom came and saw what happened. She said, "Lily, what's wrong? What happened to Zoe?" + +Lily told her mom what happened. Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That was a mean boy. He should not have taken your doll and broken it. But you also made a mistake. You should not have left your doll on the bench. Someone could have taken it or hurt it. You should always keep your things with you and protect them. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I learned my lesson. Can we fix Zoe?" + +Her mom said, "We can try. Let's go home and see what we can do. Maybe we can sew the hole and put the stuffing back. Maybe we can find a new zipper. But even if we can't, Zoe will always be your friend. She will always love you. And you will always love her. Right?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Right, mom. Thank you. I love you too." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go home." + +They went home, holding Zoe and each other. Lily learned to be more careful with her things and to appreciate her friends. She also learned that some people are not nice and that she should stand up for herself and her friends. She hoped that the boy would learn to be nicer and to respect other people's things. She hoped that he would not rot inside. She hoped that he would find a friend who would love him. She hoped that he would be happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a trail of ants on the grass.

They had many colors and shapes of bricks to choose from. + +One day, Tim wanted to build a big tower that would reach the sky. He took all the hard bricks and stacked them up high. He did not share any bricks with Lily. Lily wanted to build a house with a door and a window, but she only had a few soft bricks left. She asked Tim to give her some hard bricks, but Tim said no. + +"That's not fair, Tim! You have all the hard bricks and I have none. Let me have some, please!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily! These are my bricks and I need them for my tower. Go away!" Tim said. + +Lily frowned. She was sad and angry. She did not like Tim being mean to her. She looked around and saw a big stick on the ground. She had an idea. She picked up the stick and walked towards Tim's tower. + +Tim did not see Lily coming. He was busy adding more bricks to his tower. He was proud of his tower. It was very tall and strong. He thought it was the best tower ever. + +Lily swung the stick and hit Tim's tower. The tower wobbled and fell down. The bricks crashed and broke. Tim was shocked and scared. He cried out loud. + +"Lily! What did you do? You broke my tower! You are so bad!" Tim said. + +Lily smiled. She felt happy and clever. She had broken Tim's tower. She had taught him a lesson. She said: + +"Maybe next time you will share your bricks with me, Tim. Sharing is good. Breaking is bad." +Ben liked to play with his drum. He liked to make loud noises and bang on it with his sticks. He played with his drum every day, even when his mom and dad told him to be quiet. + +One day, Ben saw a big drum in the park. It was bigger than his drum, and it had colorful pictures on it. Ben wanted to play with the big drum. He ran to the big drum and picked up a stick. + +"Hey, stop!" a voice said. Ben looked up and saw a girl standing next to the big drum. She had long hair and a red dress. She looked angry. + +"This is my drum," the girl said. "You can't play with it. Go away." + +Ben felt sad. He liked the big drum, and he wanted to play with it. He put down the stick and looked at the girl. + +"Please, can I play with your drum?" he asked. "I have a drum at home, but it is small. Your drum is big and pretty. I will be nice and share." + +The girl looked at Ben. She saw that he was not mean, but curious. She thought for a moment. She liked her drum, but she was bored of playing alone. She decided to give Ben a chance. + +"Okay, you can play with my drum," she said. "But only if you play with me. We can take turns and make music together. What is your name?" + +Ben smiled. He was happy that the girl let him play with her drum. He told her his name and thanked her. They introduced themselves and became friends. They played with the big drum and had fun. They made loud noises and laughed. + +Ben's mom and dad saw Ben playing with the girl and the big drum. They were glad that Ben made a new friend. They were also glad that he learned to ask and share. They were not so glad that he still liked to make loud noises, but they loved him anyway. They hoped that the girl's mom and dad did not mind the noise, too. They thought that maybe they should buy Ben a bigger drum for his birthday, or maybe some earplugs for themselves. +Lily was a little lamb who liked to play in the meadow. She loved to run and jump and chase butterflies. She was very happy and had many friends. + +One day, she saw a stream that sparkled in the sun. She was thirsty and wanted to drink some water. She ran to the stream and dipped her head. The water was cool and sweet. She drank and drank and drank. + +But she did not see the big wolf who was hiding behind a bush. He saw Lily and licked his lips. He waited for her to finish drinking. Then he jumped out and grabbed her by the neck. He dragged her to his den and ate her up. + +Lily was gone and her friends were sad. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and look around when they drink from a stream. They learned that some things that look great can be very dangerous. +Jill and Tom like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes.

It will not run out of fuel. It will win because it has a smile." + +They count to three and start the race. They push their cars along the track and cheer for them. Tom's car is faster and takes the lead. Jill's car is slower but steady. Tom laughs and says, "See? I told you my car is better. You will lose soon." + +But then, something happens.

It will share its fuel with you. It will make you smile too." + +Tom looks at Jill and her car. He feels sorry for being mean. He says, "OK. I will play with your car. It is very nice.

They bounce on the big ball in the park. The park is near the village. The village has many houses and shops and people. + +One day, they bounce too high. The big ball flies over the fence. The fence is tall and hard. They cannot see the big ball. They are sad. They want the big ball back. + +They hear a voice. The voice is friendly. The voice says, "Hello, little ones.

He put it on his back and said, "Look, Lily, I am a bird!" + +Lily laughed and said, "No, you are not a bird, Tom. You are a boy. That wing is fake. It cannot make you fly." + +Tom did not believe her. He wanted to fly like a bird. He ran to the hill and jumped. He flapped his fake wing hard. But he did not fly. He fell to the ground.

She wanted to feel better. + +Her mom took her to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He wore a white coat and a mask. He looked at Lily's ears, nose and mouth. He used a stick and a light. He said, "Hmm, let me guess. Do you have a cold?" + +Lily nodded. She did not like having a cold. The doctor smiled. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. A cold is not bad. You just need to rest and drink water. And take this medicine. It will help you feel better soon." + +He gave Lily a bottle of medicine. It was pink and sweet. Lily said, "Thank you, doctor."

She said the pearls belonged to the oysters, and the oysters needed them. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big shell!" Tom said, holding up a round, gray shell. "Maybe there is a pearl inside!" + +"Let me see!" Lily said, running over to Tom. She tried to open the shell, but it was too hard. She pulled and pulled, but the shell did not move. + +"Ouch!" Tom said, as the shell pinched his finger. He dropped the shell and cried. "It bit me!" + +Lily looked at the shell and saw a small hole. She saw something moving inside the hole. It was the oyster.

"We did not mean to hurt you. We just wanted to see your pearl." + +The oyster heard Lily's voice. It felt a little less anxious. It peeked out of its hole and saw Lily's face.

Lily said, admiring the pearl. "Thank you for showing me. You are very brave and generous." + +The oyster felt happy and proud. It liked Lily. It wanted to be her friend. It gave Lily a small smile and closed its shell again. + +"Come on, Tom, let's leave the oyster alone," Lily said, taking Tom's hand. "It needs some rest. Maybe we can visit it again another day." + +Tom nodded, wiping his tears. He was still sore, but he was also curious. He wanted to see the oyster's pearl too.
