He was very careful not to hurt her. + +"Don't worry, Lily," the giant said. "I will take you to my castle. It is not far away. Just hold on tight and enjoy the ride." + +Lily was amazed. She felt like she was flying. She saw the trees, the clouds, the birds, and the sun. She saw the giant's castle. It was huge and beautiful. It was very tidy. + +She smiled at the giant. He smiled back. They were happy. They had found a new friend. They had found a new adventure. They had found a new book. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were the animal puzzles. Each puzzle had a picture of an animal and a word that matched the animal. Sam and Lily liked to find the right pieces and say the words out loud. + +One day, they found a new puzzle in their toy box. It was a puzzle of a chicken. They had never seen a chicken before, but they liked its red comb and yellow beak. They looked at the word under the picture. It said "chicken". They tried to say it, but it was hard. + +"Chick-en," Sam said slowly. + +"Chick-ee," Lily said, making it sound like a squeak. + +They laughed and started to look for the pieces of the puzzle. They found the head, the body, the wings, and the feet. They put them together and made the chicken. They were very proud of themselves. + +"Look, Mommy, we made a chicken!" Sam said, showing their puzzle to their mother. + +"That's wonderful, sweeties!" Mommy said, smiling. "Do you know what sound a chicken makes?" + +Sam and Lily shook their heads. They did not know. + +Mommy made a funny noise with her mouth. She said "cluck, cluck, cluck". Sam and Lily giggled. They tried to copy her. + +"Cluck, cluck, cluck," they said, making their chicken puzzle move. + +Mommy clapped her hands. "That's right, chickens say cluck, cluck, cluck. Do you want to see a real chicken?" + +Sam and Lily nodded eagerly. They loved animals. Mommy took them by the hand and led them to the backyard. There, in a small coop, was a real chicken. It was brown and fluffy, and it looked at them with curious eyes. + +"Hello, chicken," Sam said, waving his hand. + +"Hello, chick-ee," Lily said, smiling. + +The chicken tilted its head and said "cluck, cluck, cluck". Sam and Lily laughed. They felt happy and comfortable. They had learned a new word and a new sound. They had made a new friend. +Sara and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara wanted to feed the ducks some bread. Ben wanted to feed the fish some muffins. + +"Can I have a muffin, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, honey. But only one. We have to share with the fish." Mom said. She gave Ben a blueberry muffin. It was his favorite. + +Sara broke some bread and threw it to the ducks. They quacked and ate it. Ben broke his muffin and threw it to the fish. They splashed and ate it. + +"Look, mom! The fish like muffins!" Ben said. + +"Yes, they do. You are very generous, Ben." Mom said. + +Sara saw a big fish with a shiny tail. It was a rainbow fish. She wanted to see it closer. She leaned over the edge of the pond. + +"Be careful, Sara!" Mom said. + +But Sara did not listen. She reached out her hand to touch the rainbow fish. She lost her balance and fell into the pond. + +Splash! + +Sara was wet and scared. She cried for help. The rainbow fish swam away. + +"Mommy!" Sara yelled. + +Mom ran to the pond and dove in. She grabbed Sara and pulled her out. She hugged her and wrapped her in a towel. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" Mom asked. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the rainbow fish." Sara said. + +"It's okay, Sara. I'm glad you're safe. But next time, don't dive into the pond. It's dangerous." Mom said. + +"I won't, mom. I promise." Sara said. + +Ben came over with another muffin. He gave it to Sara. + +"Here, Sara. You can have my muffin. It will make you feel better." Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice." Sara said. + +They smiled and hugged. Mom smiled too. She was proud of her children. They were generous and kind. They loved each other. They had a good day at the park. +Ben liked to watch the parade. He liked the big trucks and the loud horns and the funny clowns. He wanted to be in the parade too. He asked his mom if he could get a costume and join the parade. His mom said yes, but he had to be brave and listen to the rules. + +Ben was very happy. He got a red hat and a blue shirt and a yellow scarf. He looked like a clown. He got a balloon and a horn too. He went to the parade with his mom. He saw the other clowns and they smiled at him. He smiled back. He was not nervous. + +The parade started. Ben followed the other clowns. He blew his horn and waved his balloon. He saw many people watching the parade. He saw his dad and his sister and his dog. They cheered for him. He felt proud. He was having fun. + +But then, something bad happened. A big truck with a loud horn came behind Ben. It was too close. It scared Ben. He dropped his balloon and his horn. He wanted to run away. He was very nervous. + +But he did not run away. He remembered what his mom said. He had to be brave and listen to the rules. He stayed with the other clowns. He held their hands. They helped him. They gave him a new balloon and a new horn. They told him it was okay. They made him laugh. He felt better. He was not nervous anymore. + +He finished the parade. He went to his mom. She hugged him and kissed him. She said he did a great job. He said he liked the parade. He said he was brave. He said he wanted to do it again. He was very happy. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to go to the river and look for fish and frogs. They took their buckets and nets and walked to the water. + +"Let's be careful, Sam," Tom said. "The river can be deep and fast. We don't want to fall in." + +"I know, Tom," Sam said. "We will stay on the edge and hold hands. And we will not go near the big rocks. They are slippery and sharp." + +They nodded and started to look for fish and frogs. They saw some small ones swimming and jumping in the water. They tried to catch them with their nets, but they were too quick and clever. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, they saw something big and shiny under the water. It looked like a treasure. They wanted to see what it was. They forgot to be careful and went closer to the big rocks. + +"Look, Tom, look!" Sam said. "What is that? It looks like a gold coin!" + +"Wow, Sam, wow!" Tom said. "Maybe it is! Maybe we found a pirate's treasure! Let's get it!" + +They reached for the shiny thing with their nets. But they did not see the big wave coming from the river. It was too strong and fast. It pushed them off the edge and into the water. They screamed and dropped their buckets and nets. They tried to swim and hold hands, but the water was deep and fast. They were scared and sorry. They wished they had been careful. +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They were white and pretty. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Can I give them some bread, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Swans can be mean sometimes. Don't get too close to them," Mom said. + +Lily took a piece of bread and threw it to the swans. One swan came to get it. It was the biggest swan of all. It had a long neck and a red beak. Lily smiled. She threw another piece of bread to the swan. + +Ben saw what Lily was doing. He wanted to play too. He took a piece of bread and ran to the pond. He tried to throw it to the swan, but he missed. The bread landed on the swan's head. The swan did not like that. It got angry. It hissed and flapped its wings. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted. "That's my bread!" + +The swan ignored Ben. It did not care about his bread. It wanted to eat Lily's bread. It swam to Lily and took the bread from her hand. Lily was scared. She dropped the rest of the bread and ran to Mom. + +"Mom, the swan is mean! It hurt my hand!" Lily cried. + +Mom hugged Lily and looked at her hand. It was red and sore. Mom kissed it and said, "I'm sorry, honey. The swan was hungry and greedy. It did not mean to hurt you. Let's go to the bench and have some juice. Maybe the swan will leave us alone." + +Lily nodded and followed Mom. Ben followed too. He felt bad for making the swan angry. He did not want to play with the swan anymore. He wanted to play with Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to make the swan mad. Can I have some juice too?" + +Lily looked at Ben. She was still sad, but she forgave him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. You did not know. The swan was mean, not you. Yes, you can have some juice too." + +Mom smiled and gave them both some juice. They drank and talked. The swan stayed in the pond and ate the bread. It did not bother them anymore. Lily and Ben were happy. They learned to be careful with swans. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. His name is Spot. + +One day, they see a thin man in the park. He has a big bag and a mean face. He looks at Tim and Sue and their ball. He wants the ball. He is a thief. + +"Hey, kids, can I see your ball?" he says. He tries to sound nice, but he is not. + +"No, you can't. It is our ball. Go away!" Tim says. He holds the ball tight. + +The thief gets angry. He runs to Tim and Sue and tries to grab the ball. But Spot sees him. Spot barks loud and bites his leg. The thief yelps and drops his bag. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Get off me, you stupid dog!" he says. He tries to kick Spot, but Spot chews his shoe. + +Tim and Sue laugh. They see what is in the bag. It is full of toys and candy. The thief stole them from other kids. + +"Look, Spot, you are a hero! You stopped the thief!" Sue says. She hugs Spot and gives him a treat. + +The thief runs away. He is scared and hurt. He has no shoe and no bag. + +Tim and Sue are happy. They have their ball and their dog. They share the toys and candy with the other kids in the park. They all say thank you to Spot. Spot wags his tail. He likes to chew. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and shiny. They want to touch it. + +"Look, look!" Anna says. She points to the balloon. "It is so pretty!" + +Ben nods. He points to the balloon too. "It is so big!" + +They run to the balloon. But they cannot reach it. It is too high. They see a cord. The cord is long and thin. It goes from the balloon to a man. The man is distant. He is on the other side of the park. + +"Hey, mister!" Ben shouts. He waves his arms. "Can we have the balloon?" + +The man hears Ben. He smiles. He walks to Anna and Ben. He holds the cord. + +"Hello, kids!" he says. "Do you like the balloon?" + +"Yes, yes!" Anna and Ben say. They jump up and down. + +The man bends down. He gives the cord to Anna and Ben. "Here you go," he says. "You can hold the balloon. But be careful. Don't let it go. It will fly away." + +"Thank you, thank you!" Anna and Ben say. They take the cord. They hold it tight. They feel the balloon pull. They are happy. They have the balloon. +Sara was sad. She missed her mom. Mom went to work and Sara stayed with Grandma. Grandma was nice, but Sara wanted Mom. + +Sara went to her room. She saw her sweater. Mom gave her the sweater. It was soft and warm. It had a big heart on it. Sara put on the sweater. She felt a little better. + +She heard a noise. She looked under the bed. She saw a hidden box. She opened the box. She found a book. It was Mom's book. Mom read it to Sara every night. It was about a brave girl and a friendly dragon. + +Sara took the book and the sweater. She went to Grandma. "Grandma, can you read this to me?" she asked. + +"Of course, my dear," Grandma said. She smiled and hugged Sara. "This is a very special book. Your mom loved it when she was your age." + +Grandma and Sara sat on the couch. Grandma read the book. Sara listened. She felt the sweater and the book. She felt Mom's love. She felt comfort. She was not sad anymore. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She listened to her mom tell her what to do. She stirred the soup, rolled the dough, and sprinkled the cheese. + +"Good job, Lily!" her mom said. "You are a great helper. Do you want to taste the soup?" + +Lily nodded. She took a spoon and dipped it in the pot. But the soup was very hot. It burned her tongue. She dropped the spoon and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she said. "The soup is too hot!" + +Her mom hugged her and gave her a glass of water. She checked her tongue and kissed it. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," her mom said. "The soup is too hot for you. You have to wait until it cools down. Here, have a cookie instead." + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She took a bite of the cookie. It was sweet and crunchy. She liked it. + +"Thank you, mom," she said. "The cookie is yummy. Can I have another one?" + +Her mom laughed and gave her another one. She was cheerful again. + +"You're welcome, Lily," her mom said. "You are a sweet and brave girl. I love you." + +"I love you too, mom," Lily said. She hugged her mom and listened to her heartbeat. She was happy. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they fought. Lily had a doll that she loved very much. Tom had a car that he loved very much. One day, they saw a shiny key on the table. It was their mom's key to her jewelry box. + +"Wow, look at the key!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. I want to play with it." + +"No, I want to play with it!" Tom said. "It is so cool. I want to put it in my car." + +They both reached for the key, but Lily was faster. She grabbed the key and ran to her room. She locked the door with the key and smiled. She put the key around her doll's neck and pretended it was a necklace. + +"Give me the key, Lily!" Tom shouted from outside. "That is not fair. You are selfish. You have the doll and the key. I have nothing." + +"I don't care," Lily said. "The key is mine. I found it first. You can't have it. I hate you." + +Tom was very angry and sad. He kicked the door and cried. He wanted to play with the key too. He wished Lily would share with him. He didn't hate her, he loved her. He knocked on the door and said, "Please, Lily, can we play with the key together? We can take turns. We can be nice to each other. We are twins. We should share." + +Lily heard Tom's voice and felt sorry. She realized she was selfish and mean. She didn't want to make Tom cry. She loved him too. She unlocked the door and opened it. She saw Tom's face and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. You are right. We should share. The key is not mine, it is ours. We can play with it together. I don't hate you, I love you." + +Tom smiled and hugged her back. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are not selfish, you are kind. The key is not ours, it is mom's. We should give it back to her. We can play with our toys. I love you too." + +They gave the key back to their mom and apologized. Their mom was happy and proud. She said, "I love you both. You are good twins. You learned to share and forgive. That is more valuable than any key." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys in their closet. But they do not like to share their toys. They always fight over who gets to play with what. + +One day, their mom tells them to clean their room. She says they have too many toys. She says they should give some toys to other kids who do not have any. Anna and Ben do not want to do that. They say they need all their toys. They say they will use them all. + +Mom says they are being selfish. She says they should be kind and generous. She says they should be happy with what they have. She says they should be healthy in their hearts, not just in their bodies. + +Anna and Ben think about what mom says. They feel sorry for being selfish. They decide to share their toys. They take some toys out of their closet. They put them in a big bag. They ask mom to take them to a place where they can give them to other kids. + +Mom is proud of Anna and Ben. She hugs them and says they are good kids. She says they are healthy in their hearts. She says they are learning to use their toys in a good way. She says they are making other kids happy.

They were very organized and always put their toys away when they were done. + +One day, they saw some smoke coming from the neighbor's house. They were curious and wanted to see what it was. They ran to the fence and looked over. They saw a fire in the kitchen and a man trying to put it out with a hose. + +"Wow, look at the fire!" Ben said. "It's so big and bright!" + +"Maybe we can help him," Lily said. "We can encourage him and cheer him on." + +They climbed over the fence and ran to the man. They shouted, "You can do it! You can stop the fire! We are here for you!" + +The man did not hear them. He was too busy and scared. He did not see them coming. He accidentally sprayed them with the hose. The water was very hot and strong. It hurt them a lot. They screamed and cried. + +The man turned around and saw them. He was shocked and sorry. He dropped the hose and ran to them. He tried to help them and call for help. But it was too late. The fire had spread to the house and the hose. The hose exploded and sent more fire and water everywhere. It burned and drowned them all. + +The end. +Tom was a gifted boy who liked to draw and read. He had many books and crayons in his room. He also had a television, but he did not watch it much. He preferred to use his imagination. + +One day, he decided to invite his friend Lily to his house. He called her on the phone and said, "Hi, Lily. Do you want to come to my house and play? I have many books and crayons. We can draw and read together." + +Lily was happy to hear from Tom. She liked to draw and read too. She said, "Yes, Tom. I would love to come to your house and play. Can I bring my doll? She likes to draw and read too." + +Tom said, "Of course, Lily. You can bring your doll. I have a teddy bear. He likes to draw and read too. We can make a story with them." + +Lily said, "That sounds fun, Tom. I will ask my mom if I can go to your house. I will see you soon. Bye, Tom." + +Tom said, "Bye, Lily. I will wait for you." + +Tom and Lily hung up the phone. They were excited to see each other and play. They did not need the television to have fun. They had their books, crayons, doll and teddy bear. They were gifted and happy. +Ben and Mia like to play pirates. They have a big box that is their ship. They use a rope to make a sail. They have hats and swords and a map. They look for treasure on the island. + +One day, they find a big metal thing in the sand. It is heavy and has a pointy end. Ben says, "Look, Mia, it is an anchor. Pirates use anchors to stop their ships." + +Mia says, "Wow, it is cool. Can we get it for our ship?" + +Ben says, "Yes, let's try. Maybe we can find more treasure with it." + +They pull and pull on the anchor, but it is too hard. They get tired and hot. They sit down and drink some water. + +Mia says, "Ben, I have an idea. Maybe we can use the rope to get the anchor. We can tie it to the anchor and then to our ship. Then we can pull our ship and the anchor will come with it." + +Ben says, "That is a good idea, Mia. Let's do it." + +They tie the rope to the anchor and to their box. They go inside their box and pretend to steer. They say, "Ahoy, mateys, we are sailing away with the anchor. We are the best pirates ever." + +They pull their box and the anchor moves a little bit. They are happy and excited. They feel warm and proud. They have fun playing pirates with their anchor. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird with many feathers. The bird is light and fast. It can fly high in the sky. + +"Look, Anna, a bird!" Ben says. "I want to touch its feathers. They are so pretty." + +Ben runs after the bird. He tries to catch it. But the bird is too smart. It springs away from Ben. It makes a loud sound. "Caw, caw, caw!" + +Anna laughs. She thinks the bird is funny. She does not want to chase it. She likes to watch it fly. + +"Ben, come back!" Anna says. "The bird does not want to play with you. It is scared of you. Let it be free." + +Ben stops running. He is tired and sad. He wants a feather. He thinks they are soft and nice. + +"Sorry, bird," Ben says. "I just wanted to be your friend. Can I have a feather, please?" + +The bird looks at Ben. It sees that he is not mean. It feels sorry for him. It flies down to Ben. It drops a feather on his hand. Then it springs up again. It flies away. + +"Wow, thank you, bird!" Ben says. He is happy. He has a feather. He shows it to Anna. + +"Look, Anna, a feather!" Ben says. "The bird gave it to me. It is so light and smooth. I love it." + +Anna smiles. She is happy for Ben. She thinks he is lucky. She touches the feather. It is soft and nice. + +"That is a beautiful feather, Ben," Anna says. "You are very kind to the bird. It likes you. You are a good friend." + +Ben and Anna hug. They are happy. They have a feather and a bird friend. They play with the feather. They pretend to fly. They have fun. +Ben and Mia like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they see a big boat on the water. The boat has a net and a hook. Ben and Mia wonder what the boat is doing. + +"Look, Mia, look!" Ben yells. "There is a whale in the net! The boat is taking the whale away!" + +Mia sees the whale too. The whale is big and gray. It has a tail and a spout. The whale looks sad and scared. Mia feels sad and scared too. + +"Ben, we have to help the whale!" Mia says. "The whale does not want to go with the boat. The whale wants to be free in the water." + +Ben nods. He has an idea. He sees a tall man on the beach. The tall man has a phone. Ben runs to the tall man. + +"Please, please, help us!" Ben says. "The boat is taking the whale away. The whale needs help. Can you call someone to stop the boat?" + +The tall man looks at Ben and Mia. He sees the boat and the whale. He understands. He takes his phone and calls someone. He tells them about the boat and the whale. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Ben and Mia say. They hug the tall man. They hope the whale will be safe. + +Soon, they hear a siren. They see another boat coming. The other boat has a sign that says "Whale Rescue". The other boat goes to the boat with the net and the hook. The other boat talks to the boat with the net and the hook. The boat with the net and the hook lets the whale go. The whale swims away. The whale spouts water and makes a noise. The whale is happy. Ben and Mia are happy too. + +They wave to the whale and the other boat. They say "Bye, bye, whale! We are glad you are free!" + +The end. +Tim and Liz were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big sack to put their loot in. + +"Look, Liz, a mailbox!" Tim said, pointing to the red box on the street. "Maybe there is gold inside!" + +"Let's go see!" Liz said, and they ran to the mailbox. They opened it and found some letters and a magazine. They put them in their sack. + +"Arr, we are mighty pirates!" Tim said, holding the sack. "We have taken the mail from the landlubbers!" + +But then they heard a voice behind them. It was Mr. Jones, the owner of the mailbox. He looked angry. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing with my mail?" he shouted. "Give it back right now!" + +Tim and Liz dropped the sack and ran away. They were scared of Mr. Jones. They hid behind a bush and watched him take his mail back. + +"Sorry, Mr. Jones," Liz whispered. "We were just playing." + +"Next time, play with your own things," Tim whispered. "Not with other people's mail." + +They learned their lesson and never touched the mailbox again. They found other things to play with, like rocks and sticks and flowers. They still had fun being pirates, but they were more careful not to make anyone mad. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the landscape with the hills, the trees and the flowers. It was a hot day, so they had a bottle of water and a hat. + +"Look, Lily, a butterfly!" Tom said, pointing at a yellow and black insect. "Let's catch it!" + +They ran after the butterfly, but it was too fast and flew away. They followed it to the fence, where they saw a big hole. + +"What's that?" Lily asked, curious. + +"I don't know. Maybe a rabbit made it. Let's go inside and see!" Tom said, excited. + +They crawled through the hole and found themselves in a different landscape. There were no hills, no trees, no flowers. There were only rocks, sand and cacti. It was even hotter than before. + +"Where are we?" Lily said, scared. + +"I don't know. This is not our garden. This is a desert!" Tom said, worried. + +They looked around and saw a big snake slithering towards them. It had red and black stripes and a rattle on its tail. It looked angry and hungry. + +"Help! A snake!" Lily screamed. + +"Run! Run!" Tom shouted. + +They ran back to the hole, but the snake was faster. It blocked their way and hissed at them. They were trapped. + +"What do we do?" Lily cried. + +"I don't know. Maybe we can throw a rock at it. Look, there's one!" Tom said, picking up a small stone. + +He threw it at the snake, but he missed. The snake moved closer and raised its head, ready to strike. + +They closed their eyes and waited for the worst. + +But then, they heard a loud bark. It was their dog, Rex. He had followed them through the hole and saw the snake. He jumped on it and bit it. The snake let out a painfu +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to study. They had many books with pictures and words that they could read. They also liked to ask questions and learn new things. One day, they went to the museum with their mom and dad. They saw many things that made them curious. + +"Look, Ben, what is that black thing?" Lily asked, pointing to a big rock. + +"That is coal, Lily. It is a kind of rock that people use for fire and energy. It comes from the ground, very deep," Ben said, reading the sign next to the rock. + +"Wow, coal is very interesting. Can we touch it?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, we cannot touch it. It is dirty and hard. It might hurt our hands. We can only look at it," Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, I understand. Let's look at something else then," Lily said. + +They walked around the museum and saw many other things. They saw animals, plants, stars, cars, and paintings. They learned a lot and had fun. They also talked to their mom and dad and asked them questions. + +"Mom, dad, you are very smart. You know a lot of things. How do you know so much?" Ben asked. + +"Well, Ben, we also like to study. We read books, watch shows, and listen to people. We also went to school when we were young. School is a place where you can study and learn with other children and teachers. You will go to school soon, too," mom said. + +"Really? We will go to school? That sounds lovely. We want to study and learn more things. We want to be smart like you," Lily said. + +"Yes, you will go to school soon. And you are already very smart and lovely. We are very proud of you. You can study and learn anything you want. Just remember to be curious, kind, and brave," dad said. + +Ben and Lily hugged their mom and dad. They were happy and excited. They loved to study and learn. They also loved their family. They had a wonderful day at the museum. +Lily liked to watch the birds in the park. She saw big birds and small birds, red birds and blue birds, loud birds and quiet birds. She thought they were all interesting and beautiful. + +One day, she saw a bird with a shiny ring on its leg. She wanted to have the ring for herself. She thought it would look pretty on her finger. She ran after the bird and tried to catch it. The bird was scared and flew away. Lily followed it until she reached a big tree. + +The bird landed on a branch and looked at Lily. Lily climbed the tree and reached for the bird. The bird tried to fly away, but Lily grabbed its leg. The bird cried and flapped its wings. Lily felt the ring on the bird's leg. She pulled it hard and took it off. She put it on her finger and smiled. + +But then she heard the bird's cry. She looked at the bird and saw that it was hurt. The ring had made a cut on its leg and there was blood. The bird looked at Lily with sad eyes. Lily felt bad. She realized that she had been selfish and mean. She had taken something that was not hers and hurt a living thing. + +She took off the ring and put it back on the bird's leg. She said sorry to the bird and let it go. The bird flew away and thanked Lily with a chirp. Lily climbed down the tree and went back to her mom. She told her mom what she had done and how she had learned her lesson. Her mom hugged her and said she was proud of her. Lily felt happy and decided to never take things that belong to others again. She learned that giving is better than taking. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They look for bugs under the rocks and in the grass. They find ants, beetles, spiders and worms. They put them in a jar with some leaves and dirt. + +"Let's sort the bugs by how many legs they have," Sara says. She takes out the jar and puts it on the table. "Ants and beetles have six legs. Spiders have eight legs. Worms have no legs." + +Ben nods and helps her sort the bugs into different piles. He likes to count the legs and name the colors. "This ant is black. This beetle is green. This spider is brown. This worm is pink." + +They sort all the bugs except one. It is hidden in the jar under a leaf. Sara and Ben can't see it. They wonder what it is. They move the leaf and gasp. It is a big, hairy caterpillar with many legs and two eyes. + +"What is that?" Sara asks. She is scared and curious. + +"It is a caterpillar," Ben says. He is brave and excited. "It will turn into a butterfly. It is very pretty." + +They look at the caterpillar and smile. They decide to keep it in the jar and watch it change. They hope it will be a colorful butterfly. They like to sort bugs, but they like to see new bugs more. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. They both wanted to learn how to whistle, but they found it hard. They tried to blow air through their lips, but they only made funny noises. + +One day, they met a boy named Leo, who could whistle very well. He showed them how to make their lips round and tight, and how to blow softly. Tom and Mia tried to copy him, but they still could not whistle. + +"Whistling is easy," Leo said. "You just need to practice more. And you need to believe in yourself. If you think you can whistle, you will whistle." + +Tom and Mia thanked Leo for his advice, and decided to practice more. They went to different places in the park, and tried to whistle along with the birds, the wind, and the music. They did not give up, even when they felt frustrated or tired. + +After a few days, Tom and Mia were happy to hear a sound coming from their mouths. They were whistling! They ran to Leo, and showed him their success. Leo smiled and clapped his hands. + +"Wow, you did it!" he said. "You are very good at whistling. I am proud of you." + +Tom and Mia were grateful to Leo for his help and encouragement. They hugged him and said, "Thank you, Leo. You are a good friend. You taught us how to whistle, and how to believe in ourselves." + +The moral of the story is: If you want to learn something new, you need to practice, be patient, and have confidence. And you need to have good friends who support you and cheer you on. +Tom was a gifted boy who could do many things well. He could read, write, draw, sing, and play games. He was very proud of himself and liked to show off his skills. He did not like to share or help others who were not as gifted as him. + +One day, he went for a walk with his mom and saw a girl in a wheelchair. She had a book in her lap, but she could not turn the pages. She looked sad and lonely. Tom felt sorry for her, but he did not want to talk to her. He thought she was not as gifted as him and he had nothing to learn from her. + +His mom saw the girl and smiled. She asked Tom if he wanted to say hello and help her with the book. Tom said no and walked away. His mom was disappointed and said, "Tom, you are gifted, but you are not kind. You have many skills, but you do not use them to make others happy. You only think of yourself and your own pride. You are missing out on a chance to gain a friend and to learn something new. You should not judge people by what they can or cannot do, but by what they are in their hearts." + +Tom felt ashamed and realized his mom was right. He turned back and walked to the girl. He said hello and asked her what her name was. She said her name was Lily and she liked to read. Tom asked her if he could help her with the book. She said yes and smiled. Tom turned the pages for her and listened to her tell him about the story. He found out that she was very smart and funny and had many interests. He also learned that she had a disease that made her legs weak and that she needed the wheelchair to move around. He felt sorry for her, but he also admired her courage and optimism. + +They talked for a long time and became friends. Tom realized that Lily was gifted in her own way and that he had much to learn from her. He also realized that he had gained something more valuable than any skill: a kind heart. He thanked his mom for teaching him this lesson and hugged her. He also thanked Lily for being his friend and hugged her. He promised to visit her again and to share his skills with her. He felt happy and proud, but not for himself, but for his new friend. He learned that being gifted is not only about what you can do, but also about what you can give. +Lila and Ben are twins. They live in a big city with many bright lights. They like to look at the lights from their window at night. + +One day, their mom says, "We are going to test your eyes. We will go to a nice doctor who will help you see better." + +Lila and Ben are curious. They ask, "What is a test? How will the doctor help us see better?" + +Mom says, "A test is when you do something to find out something. The doctor will ask you to look at some pictures and letters and tell him what you see. He will also give you some glasses to try on. The glasses will make the pictures and letters clearer for you." + +Lila and Ben nod. They are not scared. They are excited. They want to see the pictures and letters and try on the glasses. + +They go to the doctor with mom. The doctor is very kind. He smiles and says, "Hello, Lila and Ben. I am here to test your eyes. Are you ready?" + +Lila and Ben say, "Yes, we are ready!" + +They do the test. They look at the pictures and letters and tell the doctor what they see. The doctor gives them some glasses to try on. The glasses make the pictures and letters clearer for them. + +The doctor says, "Good job, Lila and Ben. You did the test very well. You both need glasses to see better. You can choose the color and shape of your glasses." + +Lila and Ben are happy. They choose their glasses. Lila picks pink glasses with hearts. Ben picks blue glasses with stars. + +They thank the doctor and go home with mom. They put on their glasses and look at the bright lights of the city. They say, "Wow, the lights are so beautiful. We can see them better with our glasses." + +Mom says, "I'm glad you like your glasses. You look very smart and cute with them." + +Lila and Ben hug mom. They say, "We love you, mom. And we love our glasses." +Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had dolls, cars, blocks and books. She made up stories with them and had fun. But sometimes, when it was dark outside, she saw a shadow on her wall. The shadow looked like a big, scary monster. It had horns, teeth and claws. It made noises like growls and roars. Lily was afraid of the shadow. She hid under her blanket and hoped it would go away. + +One night, Lily decided to be brave. She wanted to see what the shadow really was. She got out of her bed and walked slowly to the wall. She reached out her hand and touched the shadow. It felt soft and furry. It was not a monster. It was her teddy bear. The teddy bear was on a shelf near the window. The moonlight made it cast a shadow on the wall. Lily felt silly and happy. She hugged her teddy bear and brought it to her bed. She realized that the shadow was not scary. It was interesting. It made her teddy bear look like a different animal. She wondered what other shadows she could make with her toys. She decided to try it the next night. She was not afraid of the dark anymore. She liked the shadows. They made her stories more fun. +Lily liked to play in the park with her friends. She liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. She wore a pink skirt that she got for her birthday. She felt happy and peaceful. + +One day, a big dog came to the park. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran towards the children. Lily and her friends were scared. They ran away from the dog. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +A man who worked in the park heard them. He came with a stick and a whistle. He blew the whistle and waved the stick. He warned the dog to go away. + +"Bad dog! Go away! Leave the children alone!" he said. + +The dog was afraid of the man. It stopped barking and ran away. The man checked if the children were okay. He was kind and gentle. + +"Are you all right, kids? Did the dog hurt you?" he asked. + +Lily and her friends shook their heads. They thanked the man for saving them. + +"Thank you, mister. You are brave and nice," they said. + +The man smiled and nodded. He told them to be careful and not to go near strange dogs. + +"Remember, kids, some dogs are friendly, but some are not. Always ask the owner before you pet a dog. And if a dog chases you, don't run. Stay calm and call for help," he said. + +Lily and her friends learned a lesson. They hugged the man and went back to play. They stayed away from the dog. They had fun and felt peaceful again. Lily was glad she wore her pink skirt. It made her feel pretty and happy. +Ben and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bull in the park. The bull is dull. He does not run or jump. He just sits and eats grass. + +"Look, a bull!" Ben says. "He is so big and dull. Let's make him dance!" + +"How?" Jen asks. + +"Watch me!" Ben says. He runs to the bull and makes a loud noise. "Boo! Boo! Dance, bull, dance!" + +The bull does not like the noise. He lifts his head and looks at Ben. He is angry. He snorts and stomps his hooves. He chases Ben. + +"Help! Help!" Ben cries. He runs away from the bull. He is scared. + +Jen runs to Ben. She grabs his hand and pulls him to the fence. They climb over the fence and get away from the bull. + +"Are you okay?" Jen asks. + +"Yes, I'm okay," Ben says. "But that was not fun. That was silly. We should not make the bull dance. He does not like it. He is dull, but he is also strong and fast. He can hurt us." + +"Yes, you are right," Jen says. "We should be nice to the bull. He is just doing his thing. Maybe he likes to be dull. Maybe he likes to eat grass and sit. We should let him be." + +Ben and Jen hug. They are sorry for the bull. They are also happy to be safe. They go back to their game. They do not bother the bull anymore. They dance and laugh and have fun. They are not dull. They are happy. +Sara was a poor girl who lived in a small house with her mom and dad. She did not have many toys or clothes, but she was happy and kind. She liked to help her mom with the dishes and her dad with the garden. + +One day, Sara saw a big sign in the store window. It said, "Christmas Sale! Buy one, get one free!" Sara wanted to buy a present for her mom and dad, but she had no money. She asked her mom if she could do some chores to earn some money, but her mom said they had no extra money to give her. + +Sara felt sad and walked home. On the way, she saw a boy with a big bag of presents. He was smiling and whistling. Sara thought he was very lucky. She wished she could have a present for her mom and dad too. + +The boy saw Sara and stopped. He said, "Hey, do you want a present? I have too many. You can have one for free." He opened his bag and showed Sara his presents. There were dolls, cars, books, and games. Sara's eyes grew wide. She wanted to say yes, but she remembered what her mom and dad taught her. She said, "No, thank you. Those are your presents. You should keep them or give them to someone you love." + +The boy was surprised. He said, "But you are poor. Don't you want a present?" Sara said, "I am poor, but I am not greedy. I have a present that is better than any of these. I have my mom and dad who love me and take care of me. That is the best present ever." + +The boy felt ashamed. He realized that he was greedy and selfish. He had bought so many presents for himself, but he had not thought of his mom and dad or his friends. He said, "You are right. You are very smart and brave. I am sorry for being rude. Can I be your friend?" Sara smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Friends are another good present." + +They walked together to Sara's house and shared some cookies and milk. They talked and laughed and played. Sara's mom and dad were happy to see Sara's new friend. They gave him a hug and thanked him for being kind to Sara. The boy felt happy and warm. He said, "Thank you for teaching me a lesson. You are the best friend ever." + +The end. +Anna and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes. They found a big bucket and a wooden spoon. They decided to mix some sand and water to make mud. + +"Let's make a mud cake!" said Anna. "We can put shells and seaweed on top!" + +"Good idea!" said Ben. "I will find some shells and seaweed. You mix the mud." + +Anna poured some water into the bucket and added some sand. She stirred it with the spoon. It was fun to watch the sand and water mix. She made the mud smooth and thick. + +Ben came back with some shells and seaweed. He put them on the ground next to the bucket. He saw something else in his hand. It was a small crab. It had red claws and black eyes. It moved its legs and pincers. + +"Look what I found!" said Ben. "A crab! It can be our mud cake friend!" + +Anna looked at the crab. She did not like it. It looked scary and mean. She was afraid it would pinch her. + +"No, Ben!" said Anna. "I don't want the crab! It is not a friend! It is a bad crab! Put it back in the water!" + +Ben did not listen. He liked the crab. He thought it was cute and funny. He wanted to keep it. + +"No, Anna!" said Ben. "I want the crab! It is a good crab! It can stay with us!" + +They started to argue. They both wanted their way. They both pulled the crab. The crab did not like it. It was angry and scared. It pinched Ben's finger. + +"Ow!" said Ben. "The crab bit me! It hurts!" + +He let go of the crab. The crab ran away. It went back to the water. It was happy to be free. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry. They had been mean to each other and to the crab. They hugged and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Anna," said Ben. "I should have listened to you. You were right. The crab did not want to be our mud cake friend." + +"Sorry, Ben," said Anna. "I should have been nicer to you. You were excited. You wanted to show me the crab." + +They smiled and made up. They decided to make a new mud cake. They used the shells and seaweed. They did not use the crab. They had fun and played nicely. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big sign that said "Lost Dog. Reward for Finder". Ben wanted to find the dog and get the reward. He said to Lily, "Let's look for the dog. Maybe we can get some candy or toys". + +Lily shrugged. She did not care about the reward. She just wanted to have fun. She said to Ben, "I don't want to look for the dog. I want to play on the slide and the swings". + +Ben was angry. He said to Lily, "You are silly. The reward could be something very sweet. You will be sorry if I find the dog and you don't". + +Lily did not listen. She ran to the slide and the swings. She had a lot of fun. Ben left her and went to look for the dog. He looked under the trees, behind the bushes, and in the trash cans. He did not find the dog. + +After a while, he heard a loud bark. He followed the sound and saw a big, black dog. The dog had a collar with a tag that said "Rex". Ben was happy. He thought he had found the lost dog. He ran to the dog and tried to grab its collar. But the dog did not like Ben. The dog bit Ben's hand and made him cry. + +Lily heard Ben's cry. She left the slide and the swings and ran to Ben. She saw the dog and the blood on Ben's hand. She was scared. She said to Ben, "Are you okay? Is that the lost dog?" + +Ben nodded. He said to Lily, "Yes, it is. But it is not sweet. It is mean. It bit me. It hurt me". + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She said to Ben, "I'm sorry. You were brave to look for the dog. But maybe the reward is not worth it. Maybe we should go back to the slide and the swings. They are more fun". + +Ben agreed. He said to Lily, "You are right. The slide and the swings are more fun. And you are my friend. You are sweet". + +Lily smiled. She said to Ben, "You are my friend too. You are sweet". + +They hugged. They went back to the slide and the swings. They forgot about the dog and the reward. They had fun. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with chalk on the sidewalk. They draw stars, flowers, and cars with many colors. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, Ben has to go to his grandma's house. He says bye to Lily and gets in the car. Lily feels sad. She misses Ben. She wants to play with him and draw with chalk. + +She goes to the sidewalk and picks up a blue chalk. She starts to draw a big heart. She writes "Lily and Ben" inside the heart. She hopes Ben will see it when he comes back. + +But then, a fast bike comes by. It has big wheels and makes a loud noise. It goes over the heart and breaks the chalk. Lily is angry and scared. She cries and drops the chalk. + +"Hey, watch out!" she shouts at the bike. But the bike is gone. Lily looks at the broken heart and the broken chalk. She feels more sad. She wishes Ben was here to hug her and make her feel better. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toy boats. They have a big tub of water in the backyard, and they pretend it is the sea. They make waves with their hands, and they sail their boats to different places. + +One day, they decide to make a port for their boats. They use some rocks, sticks, and leaves to build a dock and a lighthouse. They are very proud of their work, and they examine it carefully. They make sure it is strong and safe for their boats. + +They take turns docking their boats at the port, and they help each other with ropes and hooks. They are very kind to each other, and they share their toys. They also make up stories about the adventures their boats have on the sea. + +They have a lot of fun playing with their port, and they forget about the time. They only notice it is getting dark when their mom calls them for dinner. They hurry inside, but they promise to play with their port again tomorrow. They hug their mom and thank her for the food.

My car is modern and quick. It will win." Ben says, "OK, let's race. But my train is fun and loud. It will not lose." + +They put their toys at the top of the hill. They say, "Ready, set, go!" They let go of their toys. The toys roll down the hill. Anna's car is quick. It zooms ahead. Ben's train is slow. It falls behind. But then, something happens. Anna's car hits a rock. It flips over. It stops. Ben's train keeps going. It passes the car. It reaches the bottom of the hill. It makes a happy noise. + +Ben runs to his train. He picks it up. He says, "Yay, I won! My train is the best!" Anna runs to her car. She sees that it is broken. She feels sad. She says, "Oh no, my car is ruined. It was my favorite toy." + +Ben sees that Anna is sad. He feels sorry for her. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. Your car was a nice toy. Do you want to play with my train? We can share it." Anna looks at Ben. She sees that he is kind. She smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Your train is a fun toy. I would like to play with it." They hug. They play with the train. They are happy. +Sam and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sack on a bench. They are curious. They open the sack and find many toys inside. They are happy. + +They take out the toys and start to play. They share the toys and have fun.

She asks Tom, "What is that?" + +Tom says, "That is a story book. It has words and pictures. Mom reads it to me at night." + +Lily says, "Can you read it to me?" + +Tom says, "OK, but I am slow. I only know some words." + +They sit on the couch and open the book. Tom points to the words and tries to read them. Lily looks at the pictures and listens. The story is about a fish who swims in the sea and meets many friends. They see a starfish, a crab, a turtle, and a shark. + +Lily and Tom like the story. They learn new words and new things.

He did not know. + +Mia smiled. She had learned something from a book. She said, "The hippo was once a baby, like us. But it ate a lot of grass and plants and drank a lot of water. And every day, it grew and grew and grew. Until it became a big hippo!" + +Ben opened his eyes wide. He was amazed. He said, "That is cool! I want to grow and grow and grow too!" + +Mia nodded. She said, "Me too! But we have to eat good food and drink milk and sleep well. And we have to listen to mom and dad and be nice to each other." + +Ben and Mia hugged each other.

He points to a picture of a panda. "What is this animal called?" + +Lily looks at the word under the picture. She tries to say it, but it is hard. "P-p-panda?" she guesses. + +Tom laughs. He thinks Lily sounds funny. He says the word in a silly way. "P-p-panda! P-p-panda!" he repeats. + +Lily feels sad. She does not like Tom's laugh. She thinks he is mean. She closes the book and puts it back on the shelf. She walks away from Tom. + +Tom stops laughing. He sees Lily's face. She looks angry and hurt. He feels bad. He did not want to make Lily sad.

They have many animals of different kinds and colors. They want to sort them by their wings. + +"Look, this is a bird. It has wings. We can put it here," Lila says, holding a yellow toy bird. + +"Yes, and this is a bat. It also has wings. But they are different from the bird's wings. They are dark and thin. We can put it here," Ben says, holding a black toy bat. + +They keep sorting their animals by their wings. They find a butterfly, a dragonfly, a bee, and a plane. They make different piles for each kind of wing. + +Then they see a toy dinosaur. It is green and big. It has teeth and claws. And it has wings too. + +"Wow, what is this? It is scary. Does it fly?" Lila asks, looking at the dinosaur. + +"I don't know. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. It has wings, but they are small and hard. They are not like the other wings. Where should we put it?" Ben asks, holding the dinosaur. + +They think for a moment. Then they have an idea. + +"Let's make a new pile. A pile for the special wings. The wings that are not like the others. The wings that are rare and cool. We can put the dinosaur there. And maybe we can find more special wings later," Lila says, smiling. + +"OK, that sounds fun. But we have to be careful. The dinosaur might bite or scratch us. We have to hold it gently and not make it angry," Ben says, nodding. + +They make a new pile for the special wings. They put the dinosaur there. They are careful and happy. They like sorting their animals by their wings. +Lila and Ben like to play with bubbles. They have a big bottle of soap and a wand. They blow into the wand and make many bubbles. The bubbles are round and shiny and float in the air. + +One day, they decide to play with bubbles in the kitchen. They fill the sink with water and add some soap. They blow into the wand and make many bubbles in the sink. The bubbles are bigger and more fun than before. + +But then, something strange happens. The bubbles start to disappear. One by one, they pop and go away. Lila and Ben are sad. They want to play with more bubbles. They blow harder and harder, but the bubbles still disappear. + +They look at the sink and see why. The water is going down the hole. The sink is emptying. The bubbles have no water to stay in. They are too thin and fragile. They cannot float anymore. + +Lila and Ben are very disappointed. They want to fill the sink again, but they cannot. The soap bottle is empty too. They have used all the soap. They have no more bubbles to play with. They have to find another game. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy planes. They made them soar in the air and pretended they were pilots. One day, they found a big jar of jam in the kitchen and had an idea. + +"Let's put some jam on our planes and make them sticky!" Tom said. + +"That sounds fun!" Lily agreed. + +They took some spoons and scooped out some jam. They smeared it on their planes and threw them in the air. But the jam made the planes heavy and slow. They did not soar anymore. They fell to the ground and broke. + +"Oh no! Our planes are ruined!" Tom cried. + +"Mama will be angry!" Lily said. + +They heard Mama coming from the living room. She saw the mess in the kitchen and the broken planes. She was very angry. + +"What have you done?" she shouted. "You wasted the jam and broke your toys! You are very naughty!" + +She took away their planes and sent them to their room. She said they could not play with them anymore. She said they had to go to bed early. + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They did not want to go to bed. They wanted to play with their planes. They were not sleepy. They were sorry. + +They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had not put jam on their planes. They wished they had listened to Mama. They wished they could soar again. +Lily liked to collect yellow things. She had a big box full of yellow things. She had yellow balls, yellow flowers, yellow books, yellow hats and more. She was very happy with her yellow things. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a yellow car. She wanted the yellow car. She ran to the boy and said, "Give me your yellow car. I collect yellow things." + +The boy was angry. He said, "No, this is my yellow car. You can't have it. Go away." + +Lily was sad. She said, "But I love yellow things. Yellow is the best color. You have a lot of other things. Why can't you share?" + +The boy said, "Because this is my favorite car. It is different from your things. It can move and make sounds. It is special to me. You can't take it." + +Lily and the boy started to cry. They both wanted the yellow car. They both thought it was the best thing. + +Mom saw them crying. She came to them and said, "What is wrong? Why are you crying?" + +Lily and the boy told her what happened. Mom said, "I see. You both like the yellow car. But you can't take something that belongs to someone else. That is not nice. You have to ask first. And you have to respect their answer. Maybe you can play together with the yellow car. You can take turns and share. That way, you can both have fun and be friends." + +Lily and the boy thought about it. They said, "Okay, we can try that. We can play together with the yellow car. We can share." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. You are learning to be kind and fair. And you are learning that different things can be good too. Yellow is a nice color, but there are many other colors that are nice too. You can collect yellow things, but you can also enjoy other things. You can have your own things, but you can also share with others. That is how you grow and learn." + +Lily and the boy nodded. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. We can grow and learn. We can enjoy different things. We can be friends." + +They hugged mom and then hugged each other. They played with the yellow car and had a lot of fun. They also looked at each other's things and found some other things they liked. They learned to collect and share. They learned to be happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to help people. She lived with her grandma, who had a cane to walk. Lily loved her grandma very much and wanted to make her happy. + +One day, Lily saw a cute puppy outside the window. It was brown and fluffy and had a pink bow on its head. Lily thought it was adorable and wanted to play with it. She asked her grandma, "Can I go outside and pet the puppy, please?" + +Grandma smiled and said, "Yes, you can, but be careful. The puppy might be lost or scared. And don't forget your coat and shoes." + +Lily put on her coat and shoes and ran outside. She called the puppy, "Come here, little puppy. I won't hurt you. I want to be your friend." The puppy wagged its tail and came closer. Lily reached out her hand and gently stroked its fur. The puppy licked her face and made her giggle. + +Lily noticed that the puppy had a tag on its collar. It said, "My name is Coco. I live at 12 Maple Street. If you find me, please call 555-1234." Lily said, "Oh, you have a home, Coco. You must have run away. Don't worry, I will help you find your way back." + +Lily took the puppy by the leash and walked towards Maple Street. She looked at the numbers on the houses until she found 12. She knocked on the door and waited. A lady opened the door and gasped. She said, "Coco, you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere. Thank you so much for bringing her back. You're a very kind and helpful girl." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad Coco is safe. She's adorable. Can I visit her sometime?" + +The lady said, "Of course you can. You're always welcome here. What's your name?" + +Lily said, "I'm Lily. I live with my grandma. She has a cane to walk." + +The lady said, "That's nice. I'm Mrs. Lee. Why don't you come in for some cookies and milk? I'm sure your grandma won't mind." + +Lily said, "OK, thank you. But first, I have to call her and tell her where I am." + +Lily called her grandma and told her about Coco and Mrs. Lee. Grandma was happy that Lily helped the puppy and made a new friend. She said, "That's wonderful, Lily. I'm proud of you. Enjoy your cookies and milk, and come back soon. I love you." + +Lily said, "I love you too, grandma. Bye." + +Lily hung up the phone and went inside with Coco and Mrs. Lee. She had a fun time eating cookies and milk, playing with Coco, and talking with Mrs. Lee. She was glad she helped the puppy and met a nice lady. She thought, "Today is a good day." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big box near the fence. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Lily says. + +"Maybe it is a surprise!" Ben says. + +They run to the box and lift the lid. Inside, they see a lot of apples. They are red and shiny. They smell good. + +"Wow, apples!" Lily says. "We can eat them!" + +"Yes, let's eat them!" Ben says. + +They take two apples each and bite them. They are sweet and juicy. They make them happy. + +But then, they hear a loud bark. A big dog jumps over the fence and runs to the box. He looks angry and hungry. He wants the apples too. + +"Uh-oh, a dog!" Lily says. + +"Run, run!" Ben says. + +They drop the apples and run to the house. They close the door behind them. They are scared. + +"Mom, mom, a dog!" Lily says. + +"Where, where?" Mom says. + +"In the garden, in the box!" Ben says. + +Mom looks out the window and sees the dog. He is eating the apples. He is making a mess. + +"Oh, no, that is Mr. Brown's dog!" Mom says. "He must have escaped from his yard. I will call Mr. Brown and tell him to get his dog." + +She picks up the phone and dials a number. She talks to Mr. Brown. He says he is sorry and he will come right away. + +Lily and Ben hug Mom. They feel safe. + +"Mom, can we have another surprise?" Lily says. + +"Maybe later, sweetie," Mom says. "But not in the garden." +Lily has a lovely journal. She likes to draw and write in it every day. She has many stickers and crayons to make it pretty. She also has a secret code to lock it, so no one can see her thoughts. + +One day, Lily's brother Max finds her journal on the table. He is curious and wants to look inside. He tries to open it, but it is locked. He does not know the code. He asks Lily to tell him. + +"Please, Lily, can I see your journal?" he says. "I promise I won't touch anything." + +"No, Max, you can't," Lily says. "This is my journal, not yours. It is private and special. You have your own toys to play with." + +"But I just want to see what you draw and write," Max says. "Maybe I can learn something from you." + +Lily shakes her head. She does not want to share her journal with Max. She thinks he will laugh at her or mess it up. She grabs her journal and runs to her room. She locks the door and hides it under her pillow. + +Max feels sad and angry. He thinks Lily is mean and selfish. He does not understand why she does not trust him. He wishes he had a journal too, so he could have his own secrets. He goes to his room and sulks. He does not want to talk to Lily anymore. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the park. One day, they find a zip on the ground. It is shiny and silver. + +"Look, a zip!" Sara says. "What can we do with it?" + +"Maybe we can make a necklace," Tom says. "Or a bracelet." + +They try to put the zip around their necks and wrists, but it is too small. They are sad. + +Then they see a bird. The bird has a hurt wing. It cannot fly. It makes a sad sound. + +"Oh no, the bird is hurt!" Sara says. "We have to help it." + +"How can we help it?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe we can wash its wing," Sara says. "And give it some water and food." + +They take the bird to a fountain. They are very gentle and compassionate. They wash its wing with water. They find some bread and seeds. They feed the bird. + +The bird feels better. It makes a happy sound. It flaps its wing. + +"Look, it can fly!" Tom says. + +The bird flies away. It drops something on Sara and Tom's heads. + +"Hey, what is this?" Sara asks. + +They look up. They see the zip. The bird has made a necklace for them. It is shiny and silver. + +"Wow, the bird is so nice!" Tom says. "It gave us a gift." + +They smile. They put the zip around their necks. They share the necklace. They are happy. They say thank you to the bird. The bird says thank you to them. They are friends. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. But one day, they want the same toy. A big truck with red wheels. They both grab the truck and pull hard. They fight for the truck. They yell and cry. They are not happy. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Sue fighting for the truck. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting! Fighting is bad. You have to share. Sharing is good. Sharing is the law. The law is what we do to be nice and fair." + +Tom and Sue stop fighting. They look at Mom. They look at the truck. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, friend. We will share the truck. We will take turns. We will not fight again." Mom smiles. She says, "Good. I am proud of you. You are good friends. Good friends share and play together." + +Tom and Sue hug Mom. They hug each other. They play with the truck. They take turns. They have fun. They are happy. They are not lonely. They learn that fighting is bad and sharing is good. They learn that the law is important and helps them be good friends. They learn that good friends make them happy and not lonely. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. They had different languages for their toys. Tim's cars spoke with loud and fast sounds, like vroom and beep. Lily's dolls spoke with soft and slow sounds, like hello and thank you. + +One day, Tim wanted to play with Lily's dolls. He grabbed one of them and made it talk with his car language. He said, "Vroom, vroom, I am a fast doll. Beep, beep, get out of my way." Lily did not like that. She said, "No, Tim, that is not how dolls talk. That is a harsh language. Dolls talk with nice words. Give me back my doll." + +Tim did not listen to Lily. He said, "No, Lily, I like this doll. It is fun to make it talk with my car language. Vroom, vroom, I am a faster doll than you. Beep, beep, you are slow and silly." Lily got angry. She tried to take back her doll from Tim. They pulled and pulled on the doll. They heard a rip sound. They had torn the doll's dress. + +They both stopped and looked at the doll. They saw the hole in the dress. They felt sad and sorry. They said, "Oh no, we broke the doll. We are sorry, doll. We did not mean to hurt you." They hugged the doll and each other. They said, "We are sorry, Tim. We are sorry, Lily. We should not fight over toys. We should share and play nicely. We should respect each other's languages. They are both good and fun." They smiled and agreed. They fixed the doll's dress with some tape. They played together with their toys and their languages. They had a happy day. +Tom and Anna were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut the paper into different shapes and make animals and flowers. Tom had a big scissors and Anna had a small scissors. + +"Look, I made a lion!" Tom said, holding up his paper. "It has a big mane and sharp teeth." + +"That's nice," Anna said. "I made a butterfly. It has pretty wings and spots." + +Tom looked at Anna's butterfly and felt jealous. He wanted to have the prettiest paper. He grabbed Anna's scissors and cut her butterfly in half. + +"Hey, stop!" Anna cried. "You destroyed my butterfly! That's not nice, that's stupid!" + +Tom laughed and threw the pieces of paper on the floor. He felt proud of himself. He thought he was smarter and stronger than Anna. + +Anna felt sad and angry. She picked up her scissors and ran after Tom. She wanted to cut his lion and make him cry. + +"Give me back my scissors!" Tom shouted. "They are mine!" + +"No, they are mine!" Anna said. "You are a meanie!" + +They chased each other around the room, waving their scissors and yelling. They did not see their mom coming in. + +"Stop!" their mom said. "What are you doing? You could hurt yourselves or each other with those scissors! And look at this mess! You have to clean it up right now!" + +Tom and Anna stopped and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and scared. They knew they had done something bad. They dropped their scissors and said sorry. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are sorry, but you have to learn to share and be kind to each other. Paper and scissors are for making fun things, not for destroying them. And you are not stupid, you are both smart and creative. But you have to use your brains for good, not for bad. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom." + +They helped their mom clean up the paper and scissors. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to make a new butterfly and a new lion together. They learned their lesson. +Lily liked to walk with her mom and dad on the street. The street was peaceful and had many trees and flowers. Lily saw birds and squirrels and dogs and cats. She liked to say hello to them. + +One day, Lily saw something new on the street. It was shiny and round and had a hole in the middle. It was a ring. Lily picked it up and showed it to her mom and dad. They said it was very pretty and asked her where she found it. + +Lily pointed to a house with a fence and a gate. The gate was open and there was a sign that said "Yard Sale". Lily wanted to see what else was there. She asked her mom and dad if they could go. + +They said yes and followed Lily to the house. There were many things on the grass and on tables. There were books and toys and clothes and dishes. Lily saw a teddy bear that was brown and soft. She hugged it and smiled. + +She looked at the lady who lived in the house. The lady smiled back and said, "Do you like the teddy bear? You can have it for a dollar." + +Lily did not have a dollar. She looked at her mom and dad. They nodded and gave her a dollar. Lily gave the dollar to the lady and said, "Thank you. I love the teddy bear." + +The lady said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. You have a good eye. That ring you found is very special. It was my grandmother's. She gave it to me when I was a little girl like you. It has a magic power. It can make your wishes come true." + +Lily was surprised and happy. She looked at the ring on her finger and wondered what she could wish for. She thought of her mom and dad and the teddy bear and the peaceful street. She decided she did not need to wish for anything. She had everything she wanted. She kissed the ring and said, "Thank you, ring. Thank you, lady. Thank you, mom and dad. I'm very happy." + +The end. +Lily and Tom went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They wanted to play in the sand and make a big castle. But they did not have a spade to dig and scoop. They saw a shop near the beach that sold spades and buckets and balls. + +"Can we buy a spade, please?" Lily asked Mom. + +"Sure, honey. Let's go to the shop and see what they have," Mom said. + +They walked to the shop and looked at the spades. There were many colors and sizes. Lily liked a pink spade with a flower on it. Tom liked a blue spade with a star on it. + +"I want this one!" Lily said, holding the pink spade. + +"I want this one!" Tom said, holding the blue spade. + +"Okay, let's buy them," Mom said. She paid the shopkeeper and gave Lily and Tom their spades. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Tom said. They ran to the sand and started to dig and scoop. + +They had a lot of fun making their castle. They used shells and stones and seaweed to decorate it. They were very proud of their work. + +"Look at our castle, Mom and Dad!" Lily and Tom said. + +Mom and Dad came to see their castle. They smiled and clapped. + +"Wow, what a beautiful castle! You did a great job, Lily and Tom!" Mom said. + +"Yes, you did! You are very clever and creative!" Dad said. + +Lily and Tom hugged Mom and Dad. They were very happy. + +But then, a big wave came and washed away their castle. Lily and Tom gasped and cried. + +"Oh no, our castle is gone!" Lily said. + +"That's not fair!" Tom said. + +Mom and Dad hugged Lily and Tom and wiped their tears. + +"It's okay, sweeties. It's just water and sand. You can make another castle tomorrow," Mom said. + +"Or you can do something else. Maybe you can fly a kite or swim or build a sandman," Dad said. + +Lily and Tom sniffed and nodded. They looked at the beach and saw a boy flying a kite. The kite was red and yellow and had a long tail. It looked like a dragon. + +"Wow, look at that kite! It's so cool!" Lily said. + +"Yeah, it is! Can we buy a kite, please?" Tom asked. + +Mom and Dad laughed. + +"Maybe, maybe. But first, let's have some ice cream. You must be hungry after all that digging and scooping," Mom said. + +"Yay, ice cream!" Lily and Tom said. + +They followed Mom and Dad to the ice cream truck. They chose their favorite flavors and licked their cones. + +They saw the boy with the kite again. He was running and jumping and making the kite fly high and low. He looked very happy. + +But then, a gust of wind came and blew the kite away. The kite flew over the sea and out of sight. The boy screamed and cried. + +"Oh no, his kite is gone!" Lily said. + +"That's not fair!" Tom said. + +Mom and Dad looked at the boy and felt sorry for him. + +"Maybe we can help him. Maybe we can give him one of our spades. He can play in the sand and forget about his kite," Mom said. + +"Or we can share our ice cream with him. He must be sad and thirsty," Dad said. + +Lily and Tom thought about it. They liked their spades and their ice cream. But they also remembered how they felt when their castle was gone. They knew how the boy felt. + +"Okay, let's help him. Let's be nice and friendly," Lily said. + +"Yeah, let's do that. Maybe he will be our friend," Tom said. + +They walked to the boy and smiled. + +"Hi, we are Lily and Tom. We saw your kite. It was very cool. But we are sorry it flew away. That was crazy," Lily said. + +"Yeah, that was crazy. We know how you feel. Our castle was washed away by a big wave. We were very sad too," Tom said. + +The boy looked at Lily and Tom. He saw their spades and their ice cream. He saw their kind eyes and their warm smiles. He felt a little better. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. Thank you for saying that. You are very nice. Do you want to play with me?" Ben said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. + +"Sure, we want to play with you. Do you want a spade or some ice cream?" Lily said. + +"Or both?" Tom said. + +Ben smiled. + +"Both, please. That would be awesome," Ben said. + +Lily and Tom gave Ben a spade and some ice cream. They sat on the sand and ate and talked. They became friends. + +They decided +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a ball under the sofa. They want to play with the ball. + +"Let's throw the ball to each other!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They start to throw the ball to each other. They have fun. They laugh and giggle. They throw the ball high and low, fast and slow. + +But sometimes, they miss the ball. The ball bounces on the floor. The ball hits the lamp. The ball knocks over the vase. The ball makes a mess. + +"Uh-oh!" Tom and Lily say. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"Tom and Lily, what are you doing?" Mom asks. + +"We are playing with the ball, Mom!" Tom and Lily say. + +"Playing with the ball is fine, but not in the living room. You made a mess. You could have broken something. You need to clean up and say sorry." Mom says. + +"Sorry, Mom." Tom and Lily say. + +They help Mom to clean up the mess. They put the ball back under the sofa. They say sorry to the lamp and the vase. + +"Good. Now, it's time for a shower. You are dirty and sweaty from playing. A shower will make you clean and fresh." Mom says. + +"OK, Mom." Tom and Lily say. + +They go to the bathroom. They take off their clothes. They get into the shower. The water is warm. It feels good. They wash their hair and their body. They sing and splash. + +They finish their shower. They dry themselves with a towel. They put on their pajamas. They feel clean and fresh. + +They hug Mom.

Ben tries to push it, but it does not work. He is sad. He says, "My truck is broken. It needs fuel." + +Lily has an idea. She says, "I have fuel. It is in my bottle. It is juice. Maybe your truck likes juice." She gives her bottle to Ben. Ben says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." + +Ben pours some juice into his truck. He says, "Drink, truck, drink.

They thought they had found their home. + +The nice lady took Tim and Lily to her car. She put them in the back seat and drove away. Tim and Lily looked out the window and saw the shelter get smaller and smaller. They barked goodbye to their friends and hoped they would find homes too. + +But the nice lady was not nice. She was mean and cruel. She did not take Tim and Lily to a home. She took them to a farm where there were many other dogs. The farm was dirty and smelly and dangerous. The other dogs were sick and hungry and sad. The nice lady did not love them or play with them or give them delicious food. She only used them for money. She made them have puppies and then sold the puppies to bad people. She did not care if they were hurt or sick or died. + +Tim and Lily tried to escape. They dug under the fence and ran as fast as they could. But the nice lady saw them and chased them. She had a big stick and a loud voice.

"I am strong and lucky." + +But Tim was not lucky. As he lifted the jar, the box tipped over and he fell to the ground. The jar smashed and a swarm of angry bees came out. The bees stung Tim and Sam all over their faces and arms. They screamed and ran to the house, but it was too late. They had too many stings and they felt very sick. + +Mom and Dad heard their cries and came to help them. They saw the broken jar and the bees and they knew what had happened.

They hugged Mom and said thank you. They went to play some more. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many rocks and flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on top. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a castle!" + +"OK, Lily!" Tom said. "But be careful, the rocks are slippery and the flowers have bees!" + +They held hands and started to climb. They went up and up, and the hill was very steep. They had to use their feet and hands to gain more ground. They were having fun, but they were also tired and thirsty. + +When they reached the top, they saw a shiny thing on a rock. It was a crown! It was made of metal and had many colors. It sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow, look, Tom!" Lily said. "It's a crown! Maybe it belongs to a king or a queen!" + +"Or maybe it's ours, Lily!" Tom said. "We found it, we can keep it!" + +They ran to the rock and tried to grab the crown. But it was too heavy and too big for their hands. They pulled and pushed, but they could not move it. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud and noisy sound. It was a roar! They turned around and saw a big and furry animal. It had sharp teeth and claws, and a long tail. It was a lion! + +The lion was angry. The crown was his. He had put it on the rock to show that he was the king of the hill. He did not like that Tom and Lily tried to take it. + +"Roar!" the lion said. "Go away, little ones! This is my crown, my hill, my park!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They let go of the crown and ran down the hill. They did not stop until they reached their mom and dad, who were waiting for them. + +"Mom, Dad, we saw a lion!" Tom said. + +"And a crown!" Lily said. + +"A lion and a crown?" their mom and dad said. "What a silly story! There are no lions or crowns in the park!" + +But Tom and Lily knew it was true. They had seen them with their own eyes. They had learned a lesson. They would not try to take things that were not theirs. And they would not climb the hill again. +Mia likes to write poems. She uses a pencil and a paper and makes words that sound nice. She writes a poem for her mom and puts it on the table. She is happy and proud. + +Tom is Mia's brother. He is bored and wants to play. He sees the paper on the table and thinks it is a toy. He grabs it and tears it into pieces. He laughs and throws the pieces in the air. + +Mia comes back and sees what Tom did. She is angry and sad. She cries and says, "Tom, you are bad! You destroyed my poem! It was delicate and beautiful and for mom! How could you do that?" + +Tom sees Mia crying and feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't know it was your poem. I thought it was a toy. I was just having fun. Can I help you make another one?" + +Mia stops crying and looks at Tom. She says, "No, you can't. You don't know how to write poems. You only know how to destroy things. Go away and leave me alone." + +Tom goes away and feels sad. He wishes he could make Mia happy again. He thinks of a way to say sorry. He finds a flower and a crayon and makes a card. He writes, "I'm sorry, Mia. I love you. Your brother, Tom." He puts the card on Mia's bed and hopes she will see it. He hopes she will forgive him. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play school in their room. Ben was the teacher and Lily was the student. Ben had a desk and a book, and Lily had a chair and a paper. + +"Good morning, class," Ben said. "Today we will learn how to cook. Cooking is fun and yummy. Can you tell me what you need to cook?" + +Lily raised her hand. "You need a pot and a spoon and some food," she said. + +"Very good, Lily," Ben said. "But you also need something else. You need a stove. A stove is a big thing that makes fire. Fire is hot and can cook the food. But fire can also be dangerous. You should never touch the stove or the fire. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She wanted to see the stove and the fire. She thought they looked pretty and bright. She wondered how they felt. + +Ben saw Lily looking at the stove in the kitchen. He knew she was curious. He wanted to warn her again. "Lily, don't go near the stove," he said. "It is not a toy. It can hurt you. Listen to me, I am the teacher." + +But Lily did not listen. She sneaked out of the room and went to the kitchen. She saw a pot on the stove. She smelled something good. She wanted to taste it. She reached for the pot handle. + +"Ouch!" Lily cried. She felt a harsh pain in her hand. She dropped the pot and spilled the food. She ran back to the room, crying and holding her hand. + +Ben heard Lily cry. He ran to the kitchen and saw the mess. He was angry and scared. He ran back to the room and saw Lily's hand. It was red and swollen. He felt sorry for her. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You burned your hand. You should have listened to me. I was trying to protect you. The stove is not a toy. It can hurt you. You have to be careful and follow the rules." + +Lily sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was silly. I wanted to see the fire. I didn't know it was so hot. I should have listened to you. You are a good teacher. You know a lot of things. I have to be careful and follow the rules." + +Ben and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned that cooking is fun and yummy, but also dangerous. They learned that they have to listen to each other and respect each other. They learned that they have to be careful and follow the rules. They learned that they love each other. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box has a label that says "Do not open. Test inside." + +Tom and Sam are curious. They want to see what is in the box. They open the box and see a big red button. The button has a wire that goes to a small machine. The machine has a screen that says "Measure". + +Tom and Sam think the button is a toy. They press the button. The machine makes a loud noise and shows a number. The number is 100. Tom and Sam are happy. They think they did a good job. + +They press the button again. The machine makes a louder noise and shows a bigger number. The number is 200. Tom and Sam are very happy. They think they did a better job. + +They press the button one more time. The machine makes a very loud noise and shows a huge number. The number is 1000. Tom and Sam are very very happy. They think they did the best job. + +But then, the machine starts to smoke and beep. The screen says "Warning. Test failed. Explosion in 10 seconds." Tom and Sam are scared. They do not know what to do. They try to run away, but it is too late. The machine explodes and makes a big fire. The fire burns the box, the garage, and Tom and Sam. They scream and cry, but no one can help them. They are gone. The end. +Timmy liked to play with water. He had a spray bottle that he filled with water from the tap. He liked to spray water on the plants, on the windows, and sometimes on the cat. The cat did not like it and ran away. + +One day, Timmy saw his daddy working on his laptop. Daddy looked busy and serious. Timmy wanted to make daddy happy. He thought daddy would like some water too. He took his spray bottle and sneaked behind daddy. He sprayed water on daddy's laptop. + +Daddy turned around and saw Timmy with the spray bottle. He saw water on his laptop. He saw sparks and smoke. He heard a loud beep. He was very angry. He shouted at Timmy. + +"Timmy, what did you do? You ruined my laptop! That was my work! That was very important! That was very successful! How could you be so naughty?" + +Timmy was scared and sad. He did not mean to ruin daddy's laptop. He did not know it was important. He did not know what successful meant. He just wanted to play with water and make daddy happy. He dropped his spray bottle and ran to his room. He cried on his bed. He wished he never sprayed water on daddy's laptop. He wished daddy was not angry. He wished daddy was happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. There was a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Ben ran to the slide and took turns going down. They had a lot of fun. + +After a while, their moms called them for a snack. They had sandwiches, juice, and celery. Lily liked celery, but Ben did not. He made a face and said, "Yuck, I don't want celery. It is green and hard and has no taste. I want cookies." + +Lily said, "Celery is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. And it is crunchy and fresh. You should try it." + +But Ben ignored her. He pushed his celery away and asked his mom for cookies. His mom said, "No, you have to eat your celery first. It is part of your snack. You can have a cookie later." + +Ben was angry. He said, "No, I don't want celery. I want cookies now." He threw a tantrum and cried. He did not listen to his mom or Lily. + +Lily felt sad. She did not like to see Ben act like that. She ate her celery and drank her juice. She saw a butterfly flying by. It was orange and beautiful. She followed it to a flower. She smelled the flower and smiled. + +She heard Ben's mom say, "Come on, Ben. Stop crying and eat your celery. Look, Lily is enjoying her snack and playing with a butterfly. Don't you want to join her?" + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw her happy and having fun. He felt sorry for being rude and mean. He wiped his tears and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I will eat my celery and be nice." + +He took a bite of his celery. It was not so bad. It was crunchy and fresh. He drank his juice. It was sweet and cold. He felt better. He said, "Can I have a cookie now?" + +His mom said, "Yes, you can. You did a good job. I'm proud of you." + +She gave him a cookie. It was chocolate and soft. He liked it. He said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Lily. Can we play together now?" + +Lily said, "Yes, we can. Let's go to the swing. I will push you and you will push me." + +They ran to the swing and played together. They had a lot of fun. + +The moral of the story is: Don't ignore your friends and your mom. Listen to them and try new things. You might like them and learn something. And you will be happier and have more fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big box full of toys. Tom found a sword in the box. It was shiny and had a red handle. He liked it very much. + +"Look, Lily, I have a sword!" Tom said. "I can be a knight and fight dragons!" + +Lily looked at the sword. She did not like it very much. She liked cute things, like dolls and teddy bears. She found a doll in the box. It had a pink dress and yellow hair. She liked it very much. + +"Look, Tom, I have a doll!" Lily said. "I can be a princess and have tea parties!" + +Tom and Lily played with their toys. They pretended to be a knight and a princess. They had fun. But then, they heard their mom calling them. + +"Tom, Lily, it's time to go inside!" Mom said. "You have to return the toys to the box and come for lunch!" + +Tom and Lily stopped playing. They had to go inside. They did not want to leave their toys. + +"Can I keep the sword, Lily?" Tom asked. "I like it very much. It is my favorite toy." + +"Can I keep the doll, Tom?" Lily asked. "I like it very much. It is my favorite toy." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They thought for a moment. Then, they smiled. + +"OK, you can keep the sword, Tom," Lily said. "But you have to let me play with it sometimes." + +"OK, you can keep the doll, Lily," Tom said. "But you have to let me play with it sometimes." + +Tom and Lily hugged each other. They were happy. They returned the other toys to the box. They took their favorite toys with them. They went inside for lunch. Mom was happy too. She saw that Tom and Lily were sharing and caring. She gave them a big kiss. She said they were cute. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy train in the garden. They liked to make the train go fast and slow, and stop at different stations. They also liked to pretend that the train was carrying coal, like the real trains they saw sometimes. + +One day, they found a big black rock in the garden. It was hard and heavy, and had little shiny bits on it. "Look, Lily, I think this is coal!" Tom said. "Let's put it in the train and take it to the factory!" + +Lily agreed, and they put the rock in one of the train's wagons. They pushed the train along the track, making choo-choo noises. They came to a station that had a sign that said "Factory". They stopped the train and got ready to unload the coal. + +But when they tried to lift the rock, it was too heavy for them. They pulled and pushed, but it did not move. They started to feel sad and frustrated. "How can we release the coal?" Tom asked. "We need to finish our job!" + +Lily had an idea. She ran to the shed and came back with a shovel. She gave it to Tom and said, "Maybe we can use this to dig the coal out of the wagon. It will make it easier to lift." + +Tom nodded and took the shovel. He carefully slid it under the rock and lifted it up. The rock moved a little bit, and then fell out of the wagon. It landed on the ground with a loud thud. Tom and Lily cheered. They had released the coal! + +They looked at the rock and smiled. It was just an ordinary rock, but to them, it was a special coal. They decided to keep it as a souvenir of their adventure. They put it in a safe place and went back to playing with their train. They had a lot of fun with their simple words and their big imagination. +Tom and Lily were playing with mud in the garden. They made mud pies and mud castles and mud animals. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very dirty. + +"Look at us, we are so muddy!" Tom said. + +"Yes, we are. But we can wash later. Let's keep playing!" Lily said. + +They played until the sun was low in the sky and the mud started to dry. Then they heard their mom calling them. + +"Tom! Lily! Time to come in and have a bath!" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the house, leaving their mud creations behind. They hoped their mom would not be angry with them. + +Mom was not angry, but she was surprised. She saw how dirty they were and how much mud they had brought into the house. + +"Oh, my! You two are disgusting!" Mom said. "You need a good scrub. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Tom and Lily followed Mom to the bathroom. They took off their clothes and got into the tub. Mom poured warm water and soap over them and rubbed them with a sponge. She washed their hair and their faces and their hands and their feet. She made sure they were clean and shiny. + +"There, that's better. Now you look like my sweet children again." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily smiled and hugged Mom. They felt happy and cozy. + +"Thank you, Mom. We love you." They said. + +Mom dried them with a towel and put on their pajamas. She took them to their bedroom and tucked them in. + +"Good night, Tom. Good night, Lily. I love you too." Mom said. + +She kissed them and turned off the light. She left the door open a little bit. + +Tom and Lily snuggled in their beds. They felt peace in their hearts. They learned that playing with mud was fun, but being clean was nice too. They also learned that Mom always loved them, no matter how dirty they were. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. +Sam liked to bounce. He bounced on his bed, on the sofa, on the ball. He bounced everywhere he could. Bounce, bounce, bounce. He was happy when he bounced. + +One day, he saw a flame. It was on a candle, on the table. It was bright and pretty. Sam wanted to bounce the flame. He thought it would be fun. He reached for the candle. + +But Mom saw him. She said, "No, Sam, no! The flame is hot. It can hurt you. You cannot bounce the flame. It is not a toy. It is dangerous." She took the candle away. + +Sam was frustrated. He did not understand. He wanted to bounce the flame. He cried and kicked. He was not happy. He did not want to bounce anything else. + +Mom hugged him. She said, "I know, Sam, I know. You like to bounce. But the flame is not for bouncing. It is for light and warmth. You can bounce other things. Like this." She gave him a balloon. It was red and shiny. It had a string. + +Sam stopped crying. He looked at the balloon. He touched it. It was soft and light. He pulled the string. The balloon bounced. He smiled. He bounced the balloon. He was happy again. Bounce, bounce, bounce. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. + +"Look at our snowman!" Tim said. "He is so big and nice!" + +"Yes, he is!" Sam said. "But I am cold. Can we go inside now?" + +Tim shook his head. "No, we have to make a snow fort. Then we can have a snowball fight." + +Sam did not want to make a snow fort. He wanted to go inside and have hot chocolate. He felt a shiver in his body. He said, "But Tim, I am very cold. And I am hungry. And I have to pee." + +Tim did not listen. He said, "Stop being a baby. We are having fun. You can go inside later." + +Sam was angry. He said, "You are a mean brother. You only care about yourself. You are a terrible snowman maker." + +Tim was hurt. He said, "That is not true. I am a good brother. And I am a great snowman maker. You are a terrible snow fort helper." + +They started to yell at each other. They threw snowballs at each other. They knocked down the snowman. They made a big mess. + +Mom saw them from the window. She was not happy. She came outside and said, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why did you ruin the snowman?" + +Tim and Sam stopped. They looked at Mom. They looked at the snowman. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were cold and hungry and angry. We did not mean to fight. We did not mean to ruin the snowman." + +Mom said, "It is okay. I understand. But you have to be nice to each other. You are brothers. You have to share and help and love each other. And you have to come inside when you are cold and hungry and need to pee. Now, let's go inside and have some hot chocolate. And maybe we can make another snowman later. But not yet." +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. But they are very different. Ben can hear everything. Sam cannot hear anything. He is deaf. + +One day, they are playing in their room. Ben has a big car. He makes loud noises with his mouth. Vroom, vroom, vroom! Sam has a small car. He does not make any noise. He just moves his car on the floor. + +Ben wants to show Sam his big car. He says, "Look, Sam, look at my car. It is big and fast. Do you like it?" But Sam does not hear him. He does not look at Ben. He keeps playing with his small car. + +Ben gets angry. He thinks Sam is rude. He says, "Sam, why don't you answer me? Why don't you look at me? Don't you like my car?" He throws his big car at Sam. The car hits Sam on the head. Sam cries. + +Mom hears Sam crying. She comes to the room. She sees Ben and Sam. She sees the big car on the floor. She sees the bump on Sam's head. She is not happy. She says, "Ben, what did you do? Why did you hurt Sam? You know he is deaf. He cannot hear you. You have to use your hands to talk to him. You have to be kind to him. He is your brother." + +Ben feels sorry. He did not know Sam is deaf. He did not know how to use his hands to talk to him. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Sam. I did not mean to hurt you. I just wanted to show you my car. I like your car too. Can we play together?" + +Mom hugs Ben and Sam. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I know you did not know. But now you do. You can learn how to use your hands to talk to Sam. You can play with him and share your cars. He loves you. You love him. You are brothers." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the field near their house. The field has many flowers and bugs and birds. Sometimes they see a big dog that runs and barks. They are not afraid of the dog. They call him Spot. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing in the field. They see Spot coming. He is very dirty and wet. He has mud and leaves on his fur. He looks happy. He runs to Anna and Ben and licks their faces. + +"Hi, Spot!" Anna says. "Why are you so dirty?" + +"Maybe he went to the pond," Ben says. "The pond has water and frogs and fish. Maybe he wanted to bathe there." + +Spot wags his tail. He likes the pond. He likes to swim and splash and chase the frogs. He also likes Anna and Ben. He wants to play with them. + +"Let's play with Spot," Anna says. "He is a good dog." + +"OK," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to get dirty too." + +They play with Spot in the field. They throw a stick and he brings it back. They run and hide and he finds them. They laugh and have fun. + +But then they hear a voice. An unknown voice. A voice they don't know. + +"Spot! Spot! Where are you, boy?" + +They look around. They see a man. A man they don't know. He has a hat and a coat and a leash. He is looking for Spot. + +"Who is that?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe he is Spot's owner." + +They watch the man. He sees Spot. He calls him again. + +"Spot! There you are, boy! Come here!" + +Spot hears the man. He stops playing. He looks at the man. He looks at Anna and Ben. He is confused. He doesn't know what to do. +Lily and Tom were very excited. Today was Grandma's birthday and they were going to her house for a party. They helped Mom make a big pie with apples and sugar. It smelled very good. + +"Can we have some pie now?" Tom asked. + +"No, we have to wait until we sing happy birthday to Grandma. The pie is for her. It is a very important gift," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They put the pie in a box and got in the car. They drove to Grandma's house and saw balloons and flowers.

Grandma said she loved them too and that they were the best gift ever. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set that they got for their birthday. They could make the train go around the tracks, and stop at different stations. They also had some animals and people that they could put on the train or near the tracks. + +One day, they decided to have a special event with their train set. They invited their friends Lily and Sam to come over and join them. They put on their jolly hats and blew their whistles. They said, "All aboard the train! We are going to have a fun ride!" + +Lily and Sam were happy to play with Ben and Mia. They each chose an animal or a person to put on the train. Lily picked a cow, Sam picked a farmer, Ben picked a dog, and Mia picked a princess. They made the train go faster and slower, and made noises like "choo-choo" and "moo" and "woof" and "hello". + +But then, something went wrong. The train hit a bump on the track, and the cow and the farmer fell off. Lily and Sam were sad, and they said, "Oh no, our cow and farmer are gone! We have to find them!" Ben and Mia were sorry, and they said, "Don't worry, we will help you look for them!" + +They stopped the train and got off. They looked under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the toy box. They could not find the cow and the farmer. They were about to give up, when they heard a noise from the kitchen. They ran to the kitchen, and saw their mom holding the cow and the farmer. She said, "Look what I found on the floor! Are these your toys?" + +Lily and Sam were happy, and they said, "Yes, they are! Thank you, mom!" Ben and Mia were happy, too, and they said, "We are sorry, mom, we did not mean to lose them!" Mom said, "It's okay, I know you were having fun. But now it's time to settle down and have some snacks. You can play with your train set later." + +They all agreed, and followed mom to the table. They had some cookies and milk, and talked about their train event. They said, "That was a jolly event! We had a lot of fun!" Mom said, "I'm glad you did. You are very good friends." They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big igloo with their dad and put some blankets and toys inside. They pretended they were explorers in the North Pole. + +One day, they decided to go for a walk in the woods behind their house. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots and took a rope. Sara said, "I will lead the way, Ben. You follow me and hold the rope. We will find some animals and plants." + +Ben nodded and followed Sara. They walked and walked and saw some birds, squirrels and pine trees. They also saw some tracks in the snow. Sara said, "Look, Ben, these are bear tracks. Maybe we can see a bear." + +Ben was scared. He said, "Sara, I don't want to see a bear. Bears are big and scary and hungry. They might eat us. Let's go back to the igloo." + +Sara said, "Don't be silly, Ben. Bears are not bad. They are just animals like us. Maybe they are friendly and want to play. Come on, let's follow the tracks." + +Sara pulled the rope and Ben had to follow. They walked and walked until they came to a big cave. Sara said, "This is where the bear lives. Let's go inside and say hello." + +Ben said, "No, Sara, no. This is a bad idea. The bear might be inside and angry. He might hurt us. Please, Sara, let's go back to the igloo." + +But Sara did not listen. She was curious and brave. She let go of the rope and went inside the cave. Ben was very scared. He did not want to go inside, but he did not want to leave Sara alone. He held the rope and waited outside. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud roar and a scream. He heard Sara say, "Help, Ben, help. The bear is here and he is hungry. He wants to eat me. Save me, Ben, save me." + +Ben was terrified. He did not know what to do. He wanted to help Sara, but he was afraid of the bear. He looked around and saw a big stick. He picked up the stick and ran inside the cave. He saw the bear and Sara. The bear was big and brown and had sharp teeth and claws. He was growling and snarling and trying to catch Sara. Sara was crying and hiding behind a rock. + +Ben shouted, "Leave my sister alone, you bad bear. Go away, go away." He waved the stick and hit the bear on the nose. The bear was surprised and hurt. He roared and ran away. He did not want to fight with Ben. + +Ben ran to Sara and hugged her. He said, "Are you okay, Sara? Are you hurt?" + +Sara said, "I'm okay, Ben. Thank you for saving me. You are very brave and strong. I'm sorry for being silly and stubborn. I should have listened to you. You were right. The bear was not friendly and he was hungry. He was dangerous. Let's go back to the igloo." + +Ben said, "Okay, Sara. Let's go back to the igloo. I'm glad you are safe. I love you, Sara. You are my sister and my friend." + +They took the rope and walked back to the igloo. They were happy and relieved. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful and respectful of wild animals. They learned to listen to each other and to work together. They learned to love and protect each other. They were good twins. +Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But then they saw a big mosquito. It had a long nose and sharp wings. It buzzed and flew around them. + +"Go away, mosquito!" Ben shouted. "You are bad and mean. You want to bite us and make us itch." + +Mia was anxious. She did not like mosquitoes. They scared her and hurt her. She hid behind Ben and held his hand. + +"Ben, I want to go inside. The mosquito is too fast and loud. It can fly and we can't." + +Ben wanted to be brave and protect Mia. He picked up a stick and waved it at the mosquito. He tried to hit it and make it fly away. But the mosquito was clever and dodged the stick. It flew closer and closer to Ben and Mia. + +"Help, help!" Mia cried. "The mosquito is coming!" + +Just then, they heard a bark. It was Spot, their dog. He ran out of the house and saw the mosquito. He jumped and snapped at it with his teeth. He barked and chased it. The mosquito was afraid of Spot. It flew away as fast as it could. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Ben and Mia cheered. "You saved us from the mosquito. You are our hero." + +They hugged and petted Spot. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was happy to see them. They were happy to see him. + +They went inside with Spot. They had some juice and cookies. They forgot about the mosquito. They were safe and warm and loved. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away, but they always ran after it and brought it back. + +One time, the ball rolled too far and went into the pond. The pond was deep and had many fish and frogs in it. Tom and Lily ran to the edge of the pond and looked for their ball. They could not see it. It was under the water. + +"Oh no, our ball is gone!" Lily said. She felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with the ball. + +"Maybe we can get it back," Tom said. He was brave and curious. He wanted to see the fish and frogs. + +He took off his shoes and socks and stepped into the pond. The water was cold and wet. He felt something slimy touch his foot. He looked down and saw a big frog. He was scared and jumped back. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Lily asked. She saw Tom in the pond. She was worried and surprised. She did not want Tom to get hurt. + +"I was trying to get the ball," Tom said. He was wet and shivering. He felt silly and sorry. He did not like the pond. + +"Tom, you are silly. The pond is deep and dangerous. You could have drowned or bitten by a fish. You should not go into the pond without a grown-up. Come out of the pond now," Lily said. She was smart and careful. She knew the pond was not a place to play. + +Tom came out of the pond and put on his shoes and socks. He was cold and wet. He felt ashamed and grateful. He was glad Lily was his friend. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. The pond is deep and dangerous. I should not have gone into the pond without a grown-up. I was not brave, I was foolish. Thank you for helping me," Tom said. He hugged Lily and said sorry. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are my friend. I'm glad you are safe. Next time, let's play with something else. Maybe we can find a new ball or a kite or a doll. Something that does not go into the pond," Lily said. She smiled and hugged Tom back. + +They walked away from the pond and looked for something else to play with. They learned a lesson. They learned that the pond was deep and dangerous and not a place to play. They learned to be careful and listen to each other. They learned to be good friends. +Lily and Ben liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys. Sometimes they were pirates, sometimes they were superheroes, sometimes they were animals. Today they decided to be doctors and patients. + +Lily put on a white coat and a stethoscope. She said, "I am Doctor Lily. I will take care of you, Ben. What is wrong with you?" Ben put on a bandage and a hat. He said, "I am Patient Ben. I have a bad headache and a sore throat. Can you help me, Doctor Lily?" + +Doctor Lily nodded. She said, "Of course, Patient Ben. Let me check your temperature and your heartbeat. You are very brave and unique. You are the only patient who wears a hat like that." She pretended to use a thermometer and a stethoscope. She said, "Hmm, you have a fever and a fast heartbeat. You need some medicine and some rest." + +Patient Ben said, "What kind of medicine, Doctor Lily?" Doctor Lily said, "You need some special medicine. It is very sweet and colorful. It will make you feel better." She went to the box and looked for something. She found a bottle of candy. She said, "Here it is. This is the medicine. You have to take one candy every hour. But be careful, do not take too many. They are very strong." + +Patient Ben said, "Thank you, Doctor Lily. You are a very good doctor. Can I have one candy now?" Doctor Lily said, "Yes, you can. But only one. Here you go." She gave him a candy. He said, "Mmm, this is delicious. It tastes like strawberry. I feel better already." Doctor Lily said, "I am glad. Now you have to lie down and rest. I will come back later to check on you." She gave him a pillow and a blanket. He said, "Thank you, Doctor Lily. You are very kind and smart." He lay down and closed his eyes. + +Doctor Lily smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Patient Ben. You are very polite and unique. I hope you get well soon." She went to the box and looked for another costume. She said, "Now I want to be something else. What do you want to be, Ben?" Ben opened his eyes. He said, "I want to be something else too. Let's see what we can find." They got up and went to the box. They had fun playing pretend. They were happy and creative. +Anna loved to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir and pour and taste. Today, mom was making a fancy cake for dad's birthday. It had chocolate and cream and strawberries on top. Anna wanted to make it extra special, so she asked mom if she could put some candles on it. + +"Of course, sweetie," mom said. "But we have to wait until the cake is cool and ready. Then we can decorate it together." + +Anna nodded and went to play with her toys. She saw a box of colorful candles on the table. They looked so pretty and fun. She wondered how they would look on the cake. She decided to take one and try it out. She sneaked the candle and a lighter from the box and ran to her room. + +She put the candle on her bed and lit it with the lighter. She smiled as she saw the flame flicker and dance. She blew on it and made a wish. She wished that dad would love the cake and be happy. She felt proud of herself for being so helpful. + +But then she smelled something bad. She looked at her bed and saw a big hole. The candle had burned the sheet and the blanket. She gasped and dropped the lighter. She ran to the kitchen and cried. + +"Mom, mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mess, I broke the bed, I'm sorry!" + +Mom heard her and came to see what was wrong. She saw the smoke and the fire in Anna's room. She grabbed a bucket of water and ran to put it out. She was scared and angry, but also relieved that Anna was not hurt. + +"Anna, what did you do? You could have burned the whole house! You could have hurt yourself or someone else! Why did you take the candle and the lighter? You know they are not toys!" + +Anna sobbed and hugged mom. She told her what she wanted to do for dad's birthday. She said she was sorry and she didn't mean to cause trouble. She asked mom if she could still help with the cake. + +Mom sighed and hugged her back. She told her she loved her and she was glad she was okay. She said they could still make the cake, but they had to be careful and follow the rules. She said they had to repair the bed and clean the room. She said they had to tell dad what happened and say sorry to him too. + +Anna nodded and wiped her tears. She said she would do everything mom said. She said she hoped dad would still like the cake and forgive her. She said she learned her lesson and she would never play with fire again. + +Mom smiled and kissed her. She said she was sure dad would understand and appreciate the cake. She said she was proud of Anna for being honest and brave. She said they would make the most fancy and delicious cake ever. +Lily and Max were twins who loved dessert. They always waited for Mom to make cake or pie or cookies for them. But one day, Mom was very busy and told them to play in their room until dinner. + +Lily and Max were bored. They saw a big box on the shelf. It had a picture of a castle on it. They wanted to play with the castle. They took the box down and opened it. Inside, there were many pieces of cardboard and plastic. They looked like walls and towers and doors and windows. + +"Let's build the castle!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Max said. + +They spread the pieces on the floor and tried to fit them together. They followed the instructions on the box. They worked hard and had fun. After a while, they finished the castle. It was very big and beautiful. + +"Wow, look at our castle!" Lily said. + +"It's awesome!" Max said. + +They pretended to be a king and a queen. They moved some of their toys inside the castle. They had a tea party and a dance. They were very happy. + +But then, they heard Mom calling them. + +"Kids, dinner is ready! Come to the kitchen!" + +Lily and Max ran to the kitchen. They forgot to clean up their room. They forgot to put the castle back in the box. They forgot to close the door. + +Mom had made a big dessert for them. It was a chocolate cake with frosting and sprinkles. It smelled yummy. It looked yummy. Lily and Max smiled. + +"Wow, Mom, thank you!" Lily said. + +"This is the best dessert ever!" Max said. + +Mom smiled too. She cut two big slices of cake and put them on plates. She gave one to Lily and one to Max. She said, "You're welcome, kids. You deserve a treat. You've been very good today." + +Lily and Max took their forks and ate their cake. It tasted yummy. They licked their lips and smiled. They were very happy. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a crash. They turned around and saw something terrible. Their castle had fallen down. All the pieces were scattered on the floor. Some of them were broken. Some of them were missing. The castle was destroyed. + +Lily and Max gasped. They dropped their forks. They felt guilty. They knew they had made a big mess. They knew they had been very bad. + +Mom heard the noise too. She came to their room and saw the disaster. She frowned. She said, "Kids, what have you done? You ruined your castle. You didn't clean up your room. You didn't listen to me. You've been very naughty today." + +Lily and Max looked at Mom. They looked at each other. They looked at the floor. They felt very sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We didn't mean to destroy the castle. We just wanted to play. We forgot to clean up. We forgot to close the door. We're sorry, Mom." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I'm disappointed in you, kids. You have to be more careful and responsible. You have to follow the rules. You have to respect your toys. You have to apologize to each other. And you have to help me fix the castle and clean the room. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They said, "We understand, Mom. We're sorry, Mom. We'll help you, Mom." + +Mom hugged them. She said, "I love you, kids. But you have to learn from your mistakes. Now, let's get to work. And no more dessert for you tonight." + +Lily and Max felt sad. They wished they had been more careful and responsible. They wished they had followed the rules. They wished they had respected their toys. They wished they had closed the door. They wished they had more dessert. But they knew they had to fix their castle and clean their room. They knew they had to apologize to each other. They knew they had to make Mom happy. They hoped they could do better tomorrow. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. They swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. They have a lot of fun. + +But after a while, they start to feel sleepy. Their eyes are heavy and their legs are tired. Mom says, "It's time to go home, kids. You need a nap." + +Ben and Lily nod. They hold mom's hands and walk to the car. But on the way, Ben trips on a rock and falls. He hurts his knee and starts to cry. + +Mom hugs Ben and says, "It's okay, sweetie. It's just a little scrape. I have a band-aid in my bag. Let me put it on your knee." + +She takes out a band-aid and sticks it on Ben's knee. Ben stops crying and smiles. He says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +Mom smiles back and says, "You're welcome, Ben. You are very brave. Now let's go home and have a nap. You and Lily can cuddle with your teddy bears." + +Ben and Lily nod. They get in the car and buckle their seat belts. Mom drives them home. They hold their teddy bears and close their eyes. They are very sleepy. They fall asleep. +Tom and Lily went to the festival with Mom and Dad. They saw many people, colors, and sounds. Tom liked the festival. He wanted to see everything. He wanted to play games, eat candy, and ride the big wheel. + +Lily did not like the festival. She felt grumpy. She did not want to see anything. She did not want to play games, eat candy, or ride the big wheel. She wanted to go home and sleep. + +"Tom, come here!" Mom said. "We are going to ride the big wheel. It will be fun!" + +"Yay!" Tom said. He ran to Mom and Dad. He was happy. + +"Lily, come here!" Dad said. "We are going to ride the big wheel. It will be fun!" + +"No!" Lily said. She crossed her arms and pouted. She was sad. + +"Why not?" Dad asked. "Don't you want to see the festival from up high?" + +"No!" Lily said. "I don't like the festival. It is too loud, too bright, and too crowded. I want to go home!" + +Dad sighed. He picked up Lily and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry you feel grumpy, Lily. I know the festival can be overwhelming sometimes. But we are here to have fun as a family. Can you please try to enjoy it a little bit?" + +Lily looked at Dad. She saw that he was kind and gentle. She felt a little bit better. She said, "Okay, Dad. I will try. But can we go home soon?" + +Dad smiled. He said, "Yes, Lily. We will go home soon. But first, let's ride the big wheel. Maybe you will like it more than you think." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, Dad. Let's ride the big wheel." + +Dad carried Lily to the big wheel. Mom and Tom were waiting for them. They got on a big basket that went up and down. The big wheel started to move. Lily felt scared at first. But then she saw the festival from up high. She saw the people, the colors, and the sounds. She saw the sun, the sky, and the clouds.

Lila and Tom are sad. They are not hungry. They want to play. + +"Please, Mom, can we play with the board?" Lila asks. + +"Not now, Lila. You have to eat your sandwich and your apple. Then you can play with the board," Mom says. + +"But Mom, we are ready to play. We are not ready to eat," Tom says. + +"I know, Tom, but you need to eat to grow big and strong. The board will wait for you. I promise," Mom says. + +Lila and Tom sigh. They do not like to wait. They sit at the table and eat their lunch. They eat slowly. They look at the board.

It will be yummy!" + +Anna is enthusiastic. She likes candy. She nods and smiles. "Yes, let's do that! Come on, hurry!" + +They run to the shop, holding the coin. They see many kinds of candy.

He had a big truck, a soft bear and a red ball. He liked to make noises with his truck, hug his bear and throw his ball. + +One day, he was playing with his ball in the garden. He threw it very high and it went over the fence. He ran to the fence and looked for his ball, but he could not see it. He saw a big dog on the other side of the fence. The dog had his ball in its mouth. The dog looked at Tom and growled. + +Tom was scared and sad. He wanted his ball back. He tried to climb the fence, but it was too high. He tried to call the dog, but it did not listen. He tried to find a stick, but there was none. He did not know what to do. + +He started to weep. He wept very loud and very hard. He wept so much that his eyes were wet and his nose was runny. He wept so much that his mouth was sour and his throat was sore. He wept so much that his arm was tired and his chest was heavy. + +His mom heard him weep and came to the garden. She saw him by the fence and asked him what was wrong. He told her about his ball and the dog. She hugged him and said she would help him. She went to the neighbor's house and knocked on the door.

It can bounce very high. + +One day, they go to the park with the ball. They see a hill with a zigzag path. Lily says, "Let's bounce the ball down the hill. It will be fun!" + +Ben says, "OK, but be careful. The path is steep and bumpy." + +They take turns to bounce the ball down the hill. The ball goes up and down and left and right. It makes a funny sound. Lily and Ben laugh and clap. + +But then, the ball bounces too hard and flies over a fence. Lily and Ben run after it. They see a big dog on the other side of the fence. The dog has the ball in its mouth. It growls and shakes the ball. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They say, "Oh no! The dog has our ball. How can we get it back?" + +They see a man walking towards them. He is the dog's owner. He says, "Hello, kids. I'm sorry, my dog likes to play with balls. He doesn't mean to be mean. Here, I'll get your ball for you." + +He calls the dog and takes the ball from its mouth. He gives the ball to Lily and Ben. He says, "There you go.

We'll be more careful next time." + +They take the ball and go back to the hill. They bounce the ball gently and slowly. They are happy and warm. They say, "We love our ball. It's the best ball ever." +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was the pink princess. She always put a crown on her head and a dress on her body. She pretended that the princess lived in a big castle with a king and a queen. + +One day, Lily's brother Tom came into her room. He saw the pink princess and wanted to play with her. He grabbed the doll from Lily's hands and ran away. + +"Hey, give her back!" Lily shouted. "She is mine!" + +"No, she is mine now!" Tom said. "She is a cool king, not a silly princess. Look, I can make her fight with my dragon toy!" + +Lily was very sad and angry. She followed Tom and tried to get her doll back. But Tom was bigger and faster than her. He pushed her away and laughed. + +"Please, Tom, please!" Lily begged. "She is not a king, she is a princess. She does not like to fight, she likes to dance and sing. Please, give her back to me. She is my best friend!" + +Tom looked at Lily's face. He saw that she had tears in her eyes and a frown on her mouth. He felt sorry for her. He remembered that he had his own toys that he loved.

They followed the signs to the kangaroo area, and saw a big fence with a gate. + +"Can we go inside, mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, the gate is locked. We can only gaze at the kangaroos from here. They might be scary if we get too close," mom said. + +But Ben was curious and naughty. He saw a hole in the fence, and he crawled through it. He wanted to touch a kangaroo and make friends with it. + +"Ben, come back!" Lily shouted. "Mom, Ben is inside!" + +Mom was scared and angry.

He walked towards it, smiling and waving. + +"Hi, kangaroo! Can I play with you?" he said. + +But the kangaroo did not like Ben. It felt that he was a threat to its baby. It growled and kicked Ben with its powerful legs. Ben fell down and cried. He was hurt and scared. + +The kangaroo chased Ben around the fence, trying to get rid of him. Ben screamed and ran, but he could not find the hole. He wished he had listened to his mom and sister. + +Lily and mom watched in horror, unable to help. They hoped that someone would come and save Ben, but no one came. The kangaroo was too fast and strong for Ben. It caught him and bit him.

He said "Come, Lily, come!" Lily heard him and ran to him. She was happy to see him. She licked his face and wagged her tail. + +Her owner hugged her and said "Lily, I'm so glad you're safe. But you were very naughty. You should not run away from me. You could have been hurt or lost. You made me very sad. Do you understand?" + +Lily looked at her owner. She saw his eyes and his voice. She felt sorry. She knew she did a bad thing. She barked and said "I'm sorry, owner. I'm sorry. I love you. I won't run away again. Please don't be sad." + +Her owner smiled and said "I love you too, Lily. I forgive you. But you have to be a good dog and listen to me. OK?" + +Lily nodded and said "OK, owner. OK. I will be a good dog. I will listen to you." + +They walked back to their home. They were happy. They played with the ball and cuddled on the couch. They were friends. +Sam and Lily were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to the park to play. Sam and Lily liked the park. They liked the swings and the slide and the sandbox. + +On the way to the park, they saw a big sign on the road. It was a billboard. It had a picture of a clown and some balloons.

Lily said. "I want to see the clown and the balloons and the cake!" + +Mom and Dad looked at the billboard and then at each other. They smiled. + +"Maybe we can go to the circus next week," Mom said. "It looks like fun." + +"Yay!" Sam and Lily said. They were glad. They liked the circus. + +But then, something strange happened. The billboard changed. The picture of the clown and the balloons and the cake disappeared. Instead, there was a picture of a lion and a tiger and a bear. They looked angry and scary. The billboard said: "Beware of the circus! Danger for everyone!" + +"Look, Mom, look!" Sam said. "The billboard changed! It's not the same!" + +"Me too, me too!" Lily said. "I don't like the lion and the tiger and the bear! They are mean!" + +Mom and Dad looked at the billboard again. They were surprised. + +"That's odd," Dad said. "How did that happen?" + +"Maybe it's a trick," Mom said. "Maybe someone is trying to make us not go to the circus." + +"Or maybe it's a magic billboard," Sam said. + +"Or maybe it's a silly billboard," Lily said. + +They laughed. They were not scared. They still liked the circus. + +They drove past the billboard and went to the park. They had fun on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They forgot about the billboard. They were happy. +Sara and Ben like to play at the park. They run, jump and swing on the swings. Sara's favorite thing is the slide. She likes to go fast and feel the wind in her hair. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a big box near the slide. It has pictures of toys and candy on it. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see what is inside the box. They look for a way to open it. + +Sara sees a pair of scissors on the ground. She picks them up and says, "I can cut the box with these." Ben nods and says, "Be careful, Sara. Scissors are sharp. They can hurt you." + +Sara is careful. She cuts a hole in the box with the scissors. She and Ben peek inside. They see many sweet things: cookies, chocolates, lollipops and more. They are happy. They take some of the sweet things and share them. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. It is the owner of the box. He is angry. He says, "Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my box? That is my prize for winning the contest. Give it back!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the sweet things and run away. They leave the scissors and the box behind. They run to the slide and slide down as fast as they can. They run to their mom and dad and tell them what happened. + +Mom and dad are not happy. They say, "Sara and Ben, that was not nice. You should not take things that are not yours. And you should not cut things with scissors without asking. You could have hurt yourself or someone else." + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We were curious and hungry. We did not mean to be bad. We will not do it again." + +Mom and dad hug them and say, "We love you, Sara and Ben. But you have to learn to be respectful and careful. Come on, let's go and say sorry to the owner of the box. Maybe he will forgive you and let you have some of his sweet things." + +Sara and Ben nod and say, "Okay, mom and dad. We will say sorry and be good." They hold their mom and dad's hands and walk to the owner of the box. They hope he will be nice and share his sweet things with them. +Lily and Sam liked to play with their cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes.

It was shiny and sparkly, and it changed colors when he moved it. Tim thought it was a unique crayon. He wanted to see what it could do. + +He took a big sheet of paper and started to draw with the unique crayon. He made a big zigzag across the paper, and he saw that the crayon made different colors on each part of the zigzag.

He hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, mom, and thank you, grandma! I love the unique crayon, and I love you both! Can I make a wish with the crayon?" + +His mom nodded and said, "Sure, you can. But remember, use it with love and kindness, and only wish for good things." + +Tim thought for a moment, and then he said, "I wish for more cookies!" + +His mom laughed and said, "That's a good wish, Tim. Come on, let's go to the oven and see if the cookies are ready. And don't forget to bring your unique crayon and your drawing.

It said, "Don't marry sour things in life." + +Joe was surprised but he knew the voice was right. He shouldn't marry sour things in life, like bad people or bad habits.

Together they played with the train, making lots of loud "choo choo" sounds as they traveled along their train track. +Once upon a time there were two little blue birds named Jack and Jill. One day, they decided to go for a walk in the forest. As they were walking, Jack noticed something on the ground. It was a piece of wood. Jack was so excited and he asked Jill, "What is this?" + +Jill looked at the wood and said, "It looks like it was cut from a tree. It must be quite heavy." + +Jack picked up the wood and tried to weigh it. He was a bit nervous because he was not sure how heavy it was. But he was determined to find out. He squeezed and squished the wood in his little beak and after some time, he managed to weigh it! + +Jack was so proud of himself. He turned to Jill with a big smile and said, "I think it weighs about six feathers!" +One night, Jim and his three-year-old daughter, Sarah, were playing in their backyard. Suddenly, Sarah saw a small, furry creature take a hop across the grass. She excitedly jumped up and cried, “Grab it!†+ +Jim smiled and gently warned, “We can’t grab it, honey. That's a mouse.†+ +“But why not?†Sarah asked, her face full of confusion. + +Jim replied, “We can't grab it because we don't want it to visit our house.†+ +Sarah nodded, understanding. She watched as the mouse hopped away. + +The next day, Jim and Sarah were playing at the park. Jim spotted a squirrel in one of the trees and curiously said, “Let's grab it!†He quickly felt embarrassed when he realized what he had said and apologized, “Oh no! I mean, let's watch it! We don't want it to visit our house either.†+ +Sarah nodded, her face filled with understanding once again. Then she excitedly pointed at the squirrel and said, “Look, daddy! It's only visiting!†+ +Jim smiled, relieved that his three-year-old daughter could be so wise. He took her hand and together they watched the squirrel as it scampered away. +One day when the sun was shining, Jenny and her dog Charlie went for a walk. As they wandered through the park, they heard the sound of music coming from a stage. Jenny and Charlie decided to see what was happening. + +When they got to the stage, they saw a group of people dressed in pink. They were singing and dancing and having a great time. Jenny and Charlie sat down on the grass to watch. + +Suddenly, the sky began to get dark. A pink-colored rain started to fall. Jenny and Charlie ran to the stage to take cover. One of the people on the stage said to them, "Well, come on up! The stage is the perfect place to stay dry!" + +Jenny and Charlie took shelter on the stage, and the people danced and sang around them as the rain poured down. When the rain was done, the sun came out again and it was time to go home. + +Jenny and Charlie thanked the people on the stage for letting them join in, then waved goodbye as they left the park. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to play. One day she found an old tray in her mum's kitchen. The tray was silver and shining. The little girl was excited. She wanted to find out what was so special about the tray. + +She decided to follow it. She saw the tray move away from her, ever so slowly. The little girl was so curious. She kept on following. + +The tray seemed to be leading her somewhere. Finally, they stopped in front of the park. The little girl smiled. + +Inside the park was a funny puppet show. The little girl was delighted. She smiled and watched the puppet show. She loved the funny characters and funny stories. It was a fun day. She was so happy she followed the tray. +One day, Jamie and his dad went for a walk. They were walking through the woods when they came to a broken creek. Jamie was so excited and could not wait to explore it. + +"Daddy, please can we go and look at the creek?" Jamie asked. + +His dad thought for a moment and then said, "Ok, but we must stay safe. Follow me carefully, Jamie." + +They slowly made their way down to the creek and Jamie was amazed at what he saw. The creek was broken, with pieces of wood floating around and rocks everywhere. He was so excited and wanted to find out more. + +Jamie spotted something glimmering in the sun and ran over to take a closer look. He had found a shiny little rock and he was so proud! + +Jamie's dad smiled and said, "Well done, Jamie. That is a very special rock. Finders keepers - the rock is yours to keep." + +The moral of the story is that it is always important to be careful and be aware of your surroundings. Even though Jamie was lucky to find something special, he also showed how brave he was to explore the creek. Despite the danger, Jamie was brave enough to look carefully and find his special little rock. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Elsie. She was very brave and loved to explore. She especially liked to climb and play outside. + +One day, Elsie asked her mum, "Can I climb a tree? Please, Mum, please!" +Mum answered, "No, Elsie. You are not big enough yet. But soon, very soon you will be." + +Elsie was very patient and waited for her special holiday. She packed her bag, ready for the adventure. + +Finally, the holiday arrived and Elsie was so grateful. She went outside and looked for a tree. + +At last she found the perfect tree. Elsie was so excited that she ran to it, and began to climb. Up and up she went, higher and higher. So high up, it seemed like she could touch the sky. + +When she climbed back down again, Elsie was very proud of herself. She had done it! From then on, Elsie went climbing every day. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a jet flying high in the sky. As it zoomed along, an unknown slipper flew up to it. The jet and the slipper flew through the sky together. + +The jet said to the slipper, "Where do you want to go?" + +But the slipper did not answer. + +The jet flew slower and asked again, "Where do you want to go?" + +The slipper lifted up and said, "I want to go slap the clouds!" + +They flew together, faster than ever and soon they reached the clouds. The slipper shouted, "Slap the clouds!" and slapped them. Clouds scattered above their heads and the slipper laughed. + +The jet smiled and said, "Let's find another unknown adventure!†And off they flew into the horizon, in search of their next unknown adventure. +Once upon a time, there was a boy. He was sitting in the playground, alone. Suddenly, he heard a voice. It was coming from around the corner. The boy got up to see what was happening. + +As he came around the corner, he noticed a man with an open book. He was reading from the book, and repeating something over and over again. The boy stepped closer and said, "What are you doing?" + +The man looked up at the boy and said, "I'm studying for my exam. I'm reading it over and over again so that I can remember it all." + +The boy smiled and said, "Can I help you? I can repeat the words with you to help?" + +The man smiled and said, "Yes, sure. That would be great!" So, the boy and the man read the open book together, with the boy repeating the words after the man. + +When they finished reading, the man said, "Thank you for your help, young man. I'm sure I will do better on my exam because of your help!" + +The boy smiled and said, "You're welcome!" and then he went happily on his way. +Once upon a time, there were two friends walking under the sunshine. One of the friends was carrying a thin jacket. + +"Do you think it will be hot today?", asked the first friend. + +"Yes, it is already hot," replied the second friend. "We should remove our jackets to stay cool." + +The first friend unbuttoned his thin jacket and removed it. He felt the warmth of the sunshine on his arms. His friend did the same and the two of them continued walking. + +As they were walking, they both remarked how good it felt to walk in the sunshine. They both smiled and looked up at the sky. + +"This sunshine is so nice," said the first friend. + +The other friend agreed, "Yes, it sure is." + +They continued to walk in the sunshine, enjoying the warmth and happy to be outside in the sunshine. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Tom. Tom's parents were very happy and wild. One day Tom asked them, "What makes mommy and daddy so wild?" + +His parents looked at each other, smiled and said,"We love each other very much and are married." + +Tom looked confused, so his dad explained, "Marriage is like a promise between mommy and daddy that we will always love each other and take care of each other." + +Tom smiled and said, "I want to get married too when I'm bigger!" + +His dad laughed and said, "Maybe someday you will find a special person to tell your love story to." + +Tom was happy and hugged his parents with all his might. He was thrilled to have such wild parents and couldn't wait for the day that he could tell his own love story. +Once there was a parent who had a heavy bag. She wanted to make it easier to carry, so she decided to shrink it. She tried shrinking it with a shrinking spell, but it didn't work. She tried all sorts of different things, but nothing worked. + +The parent was getting very frustrated and decided to take a break. She went to the park and watched a group of children playing. Suddenly, she had an idea. She shouted, "Hey everyone! Let's play a shrinking game!" + +The children all gathered around and the parent explained the game. "I want you to pretend that my heavy bag is shrinking," she said. The children all began to wave their hands around in the air and chant. "Shrink, shrink, shrink!" + +The parent watched in amazement as her heavy bag slowly began to shrink. By the end of the game, her bag was super small and easy to carry. The parent was so happy that she gave each of the children a big hug. And from then on, the shrinking game was a big hit at the park! +Once upon a time, there was a deaf owner who lived in a big house by himself. He had very few friends to keep him company, so he often felt lonely. + +One day, the owner decided to buy a puppy. As soon as he laid eyes on the little creature, he immediately fell in love with it. He named the puppy Brownie and took her home. + +Brownie and the owner quickly became best friends. They went on long walks together, cuddled on the couch, and played in the garden. + +But one day, the owner accidentally left Brownie alone in the house while he went to work. When he returned home, he found that Brownie had destroyed all the furniture. He became so angry that he shouted at Brownie and closed the door in front of her. + +The next morning, the owner felt guilty and regretful for the way he had treated Brownie the day before. He opened the door and called out her name, but Brownie had gone missing. The owner looked for her everywhere, but eventually he went back inside, sadly. + +He never found Brownie again and he regretted it every day. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Dave. He loved going to the park with his mom. One day, when they were there, he saw a shiny coin on the ground. Dave smiled and said, "Mom, I found a coin!" His mom smiled back and said, "That's great sweetheart, but we must remember it doesn't belong to us." + +Dave's mom taught him the importance of not taking things that don't belong to you. Dave said, "Ok, mom." He put back the coin in it's original place and kept walking. After a few steps, Dave saw a small puppy. The puppy was so cute and fluffy that Dave couldn't resist giving him a big hug. + +Suddenly, the puppy bit Dave's dad. It scared Dave and he ran behind his mom. His mom said, "Honey, sometimes even the cutest things can bite when they're scared." She explained to him how he should never touch something unfamiliar before getting permission first. + +Dave learned his lesson and never touched the strange puppy again. He never forgot the moral behind the story either. That even if something looks shiny and original, we should always think twice before taking or touching it. +One day, Mary and her mommy were going on a jolly journey. Mary was very excited and hopped into the car. Her mommy smiled and said, "Let's go!" + +They drove for a long time and eventually reached their destination. Mary looked around. "Mommy, I can see a lake!" she shouted. + +Her mommy smiled. "Let's have a picnic near the lake," she said. + +So they spread out a blanket and began to eat. Mary was having so much fun, she didn't notice until later that she had gotten jelly all over her shirt. + +"Oh no!" she cried. + +"Don't worry," said her mommy. She wiped off the jelly with a napkin. + +Mary thanked her mommy, and they continued their jolly journey. This time, Mary was careful to not get too messy. +Once upon a time there were two friends. One friend was named John and the other was Tina. They were very good friends. + +Tina asked John, “What do you want to do?†+ +John replied, “Let’s go to the fancy pool and collect some water.†+ +They went to the pool, filled a big bucket with water, and started collecting. They laughed and talked as they filled their bucket. + +When they finished, John said, “I think that’s enough. Let’s take it home.†+ +Tina said, “No, let’s keep collecting. We can bring it to the people who don’t have water.†+ +John was surprised. He smiled and said, “That is a great idea, Tina. Let’s do it!†+ +They filled two more buckets. Then they carried them to a nearby village. The villagers were so happy to receive the water that John and Tina had collected. + +The moral of the story is that it is always better to give than to take. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Bubba. He loved animals and wanted to make a pet out of one. So he went outside and saw a pig! Bubba wanted to take the pig home, so he carefully walked up to it and pulled on its leg.

I like to stay clean and eat lots of yummy food.†+ +Bubba thought about this and nodded his head. “Okay,†he said. “I’ll leave you here but I’ll come back and visit you soon.†+ +The pig smiled and oinked back. So Bubba said goodbye and walked home. He was happy because he found a new friend! +Once upon a time, there was a little boy. He was always very curious and liked to explore.

It is a special place for you to explore." + +The little boy smiled. He asked more questions about the view. The man answered them all. + +The little boy looked out on the view and enjoyed all the wonders it offered. It was one of his most favourite places. As he wondered, he felt happy and content. + +The end. +Once there was a little girl. She liked to choose things. One day she saw a mug in the store that she liked. It was a gray mug. She asked her mom if she could choose it. + +Her mom said yes and the little girl was so excited. She jumped up and down and gave her mom a big hug. She hugged the mug too. + +The girl took the mug home with her and put it on her shelf. She really liked her new mug and used it when she had hot chocolate.

She grabbed the poppy for him and he thanked her with a smile. + +The little old man said to her, "Thank you, sweetheart.

They both walked away with a smile that lit the whole field up. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved cherries. Everywhere she went, she saw enormous cherries in the sky. + +One day, the little girl wanted to have a cherry. She looked around and realised there were none. She looked up and could barely see any cherries in the sky. + +The little girl asked her mom, "Mom, can I have a cherry? I don't see any!" + +Her mom answered, "No sweetie, those cherries in the sky are too big for you to have." + +The little girl was very sad. She kept looking up at the sky, hoping to see one of the enormous cherries. + +Suddenly, an enormous cherry appeared in the sky. The little girl was so excited. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I have this cherry?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, sweetie. You can certainly have this cherry." + +The little girl reached for the cherry and plucked it from the sky. She smiled as she enjoyed the sweet taste of the enormous cherry. +Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Daisy. She loved to hop around her forest home and explore. One day, she was wondering what was beyond the trees. She hopped up on a big boulder, and looked up at the sky. It was a deep blue, with a few fluffy white clouds. + +"Wow," Daisy said to herself. "I wonder where I could go if I hopped far enough!" + +She hopped around the boulder, and saw a duck walking nearby. "Excuse me," Daisy said. "Do you know where I could go if I hopped really far?" + +The duck quacked and nodded. "Well, you would go on a great adventure," the duck said. "You could explore deep caves and tall mountains. The possibilities are endless." + +"That sounds incredible," Daisy said. She hopped from the boulder, and began the best adventure of her life. She was so happy, wondering what secrets she would find. + +And from that day on, whenever Daisy looked up at the sky, she always thought back to this magical moment in her forest home. +Once upon a time there lived a furry monkey in a hot, sandy oasis. His name was Jack. + +One day, while Jack was climbing a palm tree, he spotted a bright orange object in the sky. He decided to reach out and pinch it. After Jack pinched it, the orange object burst into a million little pieces and the sky lit up with sparkles. + +Jack was so excited and he could barely contain his joy. He shouted at the top of his voice: "WOW!! What just happened?" + +Suddenly, a giant rainbow appeared above the oasis. Jack was so amazed and had a big smile on his face! He thanked the sky for creating this beautiful sight for him. + +From that day forward, Jack knew that anything was possible if he put his mind to it. He also knew that when he was feeling sad, he could just look up at the sky and remember the time he pinched that orange object. +Tom was a very generous boy. When his mum asked him to play in the garden, he always agreed. He fetched his spade and started playing. He made funny looking mountains and lakes in the garden. Suddenly he saw a butterfly and he wanted to protect it. He used the spade to make a safe home for the butterfly. He put a few leaves and twigs around it. His mum saw him and smiled. + +"You are so generous Tom" she said. +Tom looked proud. He had protected his new friend. He brought out some flowers to give the butterfly a beautiful home. + +And so Tom continued to protect the butterfly and played happily with his spade in the garden. +Once upon a time, there was a small boy called Jack. He wanted to learn how to ride a bike, so he asked his parents for help. + +"Mom, dad, please may I learn how to ride a bike?" he asked. + +His parents smiled, and said, "Yes, but only if you are very careful." + +So they taught Jack how to ride a bike, and each time he learned something new, his parents said "Well done, Jack!" and gave him a reward. Rewards could be an extra story before bed, an extra lolly or something similar. + +Jack soon got really good at riding the bike, and one day his parents said, "That was very good Jack! Here's another reward for you." + +But this time Jack said, "No, thank you. Just please can I have more time to ride the bike and have fun?". + +His parents were pleasantly surprised, and said "Well done, Jack. We are proud of you. Instead of a reward, you can have more time to enjoy your bike!" + +Jack was very happy and thanked his parents. + +The moral of the story is that sometimes it is better to do something for fun rather than for a reward. +Max the turkey was very ancient. He had lived on the farm for many years, but he was still very spry. One day, he decided to go on a walk around the farm. + +Max soon came to a clearing, but he was startled to see two other turkeys there.

He loved to play in the sun and eat tasty bananas but he also loved one thing more than anything else - fire. + +Every day he would watch the other animals around the jungle and saw how they were scared of the fire. But not him. He came to love the burning and crackling of the flames and he was never afraid. + +One day, the other animals heard the monkey screaming and saw him playing with the fire like he never had before. He would throw logs in and then hop all the way around them. He was having so much fun! + +But then, suddenly all the fun stopped. The flames were growing so big and wild that the monkey couldn't control them anymore. He ran away, but it was too late, the forest started to burn! + +The other animals were scared, but then remembered the brave monkey. They decided to get together and put out the fire.

He liked to run around in the park and play with his friends. One day, some of the other boys wanted to show him something special. They had a big rope and said that it was a tie. They asked him, "Can you understand to tie it?" + +Billy was very excited. He tried his very best, but he just couldn't seem to understand how to tie the rope. He tried again and again, but he just couldn't get it. So, he asked for help. + +The other boys helped him. They showed him step by step how to tie the rope. Slowly, he started to understand. Soon enough, he had successfully tied the rope! + +The boys cheered for him. Even when it was a bit sour, they all celebrated with Billy. He felt so proud that he had managed to tie the rope.

Would you like that?" + +Max thought about it and realized that he really did want to have something totally new and fun to wear.

He just kept on flying up into the sky. The mine seemed like it was so far away. + +But then, he felt the sun's warm rays on his wings and he knew it was time to start coming down. The bird flapped his wings, and slowly and surely he rose down and back to his mine.

Give it back!" + +Sammy was very confused and started crying. She said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to take the waffle. I didn't know it was yours." + +The old man replied, "It's okay. You can keep it if you want. I guess we'd both be a lot happier if you just kept it, alright?" + +Sammy smiled and thanked the old man for understanding.

Something special is happening here." + +Suddenly, the King heard a loud voice. It said, "Let me out! I must be freed!" The King didn't know what to do. He pondered for a moment, then he decided to let it out. + +The King stepped aside and said, "Go forth!" Suddenly, a beautiful fairy appeared in the oasis. She thanked the King for releasing her. She then blessed the King with a mighty wish. + +The King was amazed and asked, "What wish?" + +The fairy smiled and said, "You will know when the moment is right." With that, the King thanked the fairy and went on his way. He wondered what wish the fairy had granted him, but knew he would find out soon. +It was a quiet day in the forest, the only sound was the silence.

Let's look for her together." + +The fox and the bunny looked for the bunny's mommy all around, but they still couldn't find her. The bunny began to cry and the fox said, "I'm very sorry that we couldn't find your mommy. Maybe we'll have better luck tomorrow." + +The bunny wiped away her tears and thanked the fox for his kindness. Then, together, they both hopped off into the sunset. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Nina. She was only three years old but she was very excited to see a model she had made.

She ran into the living room and saw them sitting there. + +"Mummy, Daddy, look!" said Nina, proudly. "I've made a model!" + +Her parents smiled, and her mum said, "That's beautiful, Nina! You did a really good job." + +She felt proud of herself and wanted to show them how it worked. She gently set it down on the table and gently moved the pieces. Her parents watched in amazement as Nina settled the model into action. + +Nina was thrilled with the look of her model and she was happy that it worked. She settled back in her chair and looked at her model proudly. + +"I did it!" Nina said with a smile. + +Her parents nodded, proud of her hard work. + +"Indeed," said Dad. "That was very impressive!" +Sam and his mom were out for a walk in the park. He saw a big green field with some colorful flowers, but best of all, he saw a row of trees. + +"Mom, look at the trees!" he exclaimed. + +"Yes, those are wonderful. Each one is so flexible," she mentioned. + +Sam was not quite sure what flexible meant. He walked closer to the trees, and the branches started to sway slowly in the wind. + +"Ah, now I understand," he said. + +He and his Mom smiled at each other and continued their walk through the park. They looked up and saw the sun shining in between the branches of the trees.

What do you need?" + +Tom thought for a moment and said, "Anything that's yummy!" + +Ryan then smiled and said, "I will mail you cookies. That should help with your urge to eat something!" + +Tom was very happy and thanked Ryan. He ran back home, looking forward to getting the cookies. + +Unfortunately, when the package arrived, Tom was disappointed. The cookies were too hard for him to eat. Tom was sad and still felt very hungry. + +The End. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Ben and Todd. They were playing together outside when all of a sudden, Ben fell and hurt his leg.

An ambulance drove up and stopped right near them. A kind paramedic got out, said hello and asked what happened. Todd said, "Ben fell and hurt his leg." The paramedic smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to help. Let's get him into the ambulance." + +They put Ben into the ambulance, and soon enough, he was complete. He was all better! He said thank you to the paramedics and hugged Todd goodbye. Todd waved goodbye to his friend and watched the ambulance drive away. +Nina was a three-year-old girl who loved to explore and have fun. She loved to read books, especially ones with pretty pictures. + +One day she found a very special book. It had never been opened before. She opened it and what she read made her smile. It was a dictionary that taught her new words. She carefully read each word and looked at the pretty pictures. + +Nina's favorite word was "believe". She believed that she could do anything if she set her mind to it. + +Nina's mom saw her excitedly reading the dictionary and asked, "What do you think about this book, sweetheart?" + +"It's so exciting! It has all these pretty words and it helps me to believe in myself!" said Nina, her eyes beaming with joy. + +Nina's mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, honey. Always remember that with belief in yourself, you can do anything you set your mind to." +A little girl named Ally was running around the park one day. She was going very fast. As she sprinted, she bumped into an old man's arm. He shouted at Ally, "Be careful! You might slip!" + +Ally didn't listen, and she kept on running. But then it happened. She felt her feet go out from beneath her and suddenly she was on the ground. She had slipped! + +The old man shook his head and said, "I told you to watch where you were going. Being careful is important." + +Ally knew he was right. From that day on, she paid more attention when she walked in the park so she wouldn't slip again. +Once there was a little girl, her name was Lucy. She was three years old and had big blue eyes. + +One day she was sad because she had lost her favourite pin.

One day, they decided to go for an evening stroll, but as they were walking, it started to become very dark and thick outside. + +The first mouse was worried and said, "Oh no, it's getting too dark. We won't be able to see where we're going!" + +Then the second mouse had an idea. He said, "I know! I can supply us with light!" + +So, he quickly picked up a twig and lit it with a match. Immediately, the twig lit up and the mice could see where they were going. + +The first mouse said to the second mouse, "Thank you for supplying us with light! Now, we don't have to worry about being lost in the dark." + +The moral of the story is that it is always a good idea to think of creative ideas to help us out of tricky situations. With a little bit of ingenuity and help from our friends, everything can be solved. +Once upon a time, there was a girl called Dina. Dina liked to measure things. One day, she saw a stick in the grass. Dina thought it would be fun to measure things with the stick. + +So Dina grabbed the stick and she went outside. It was very cold outside. She wanted to measure how wide the gate was. She began to measure, but with each step she took, the stick seemed to get longer! + +"What's happening?" she said out loud. + +Suddenly, a dragon appeared! "I can help you," said the dragon. "When it is cold, sticks can stretch!" + +Dina thanked the dragon, and they both laughed. She used the stick to measure how wide the gate was. Then she went inside to get warm again. +One day, a little girl named Amelia had an idea. She wanted to do something special. She looked around her room, and she saw the laundry basket full of clothes. Amelia had a great idea - she wanted to make a small fort! + +Amelia gathered up some of the laundry in her tiny arms and dragged it over to one corner of the room. She made a little wall with it and found some pillows to stack on top. "Now all I need is something to cover it," Amelia said. + +Just then, her mom made an appearance. "What are you doing?" she asked Amelia. + +"I want to make a small fort," she replied. + +Her mom smiled, and said, "That sounds like a great idea! I always wanted to make one when I was your age too. Here, let me help you." + +Amelia and her mom worked together for the next few hours, gathering the laundry and making a small fort. When they were done, it looked like an amazing little castle. Amelia was so proud and happy. "I love it!" she said. + +And from that day on, Amelia and her mom always made small forts whenever they had some extra laundry. It was one of their special mother-daughter activities. +Once there was a big family. They had a mother, a father, and a little boy. +The boy loved to watch the flies in the summer. He asked his mom if he could buy one. +His mom said no and suggested that he look in the garden. +The boy went out to the garden to find a big fly. He found one, but it kept flying away whenever he got too close. +But the boy was determined and followed the fly until he was able to catch it. +The fly was so excited to be free after being chased for so long. +The boy decided to let the fly go and watched it happily fly away. +He went back to his mom and proudly told her that he had bought a big fly. +Once upon a time there was a little pig. He wanted to see the world and explore. One day he set off and started walking. Everywhere he went, the sun shone so brightly. + +On his journey, the little pig saw a lot of fun things. He saw a huge tree and some colorful birds. There was even a pond with a lot of fish swimming in it. + +But the pig was so busy exploring that he forgot to tell anyone where he was going. Eventually, he found himself in a dark forest. It was so dark that he couldn't find his way back home. He started to feel scared and regret not telling anyone where he was. + +Just then, he heard a voice. + +"It's ok, little pig. I can help you find your way back home." He looked up and saw a beautiful butterfly flying in the light. + +The butterfly showed him the way back home. The little pig was so thankful. He thanked the butterfly again and again. + +From there on, the little pig always remembered to tell someone where he was going. He never wanted to regret his decisions ever again. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy called John. One day he was playing in the park when he saw a big, green tree. He stopped and looked up at the tree. His mom saw him and asked, "What are you looking at, John?" + +John pointed at the tree and said, "Look Mommy, the tree looks so nice with its big leaves." His mom smiled and said, "That's right, John. But do you know what else the tree teaches us?". + +John thought for a moment and then said, "No, what?" His mom smiled and said, "The tree teaches us to keep trying. Just look at it. It’s big and strong, but it didn’t grow like that overnight. It kept trying and growing, no matter how hard the task was. That’s like us, John. We have to keep trying and never give up. We might have to pause sometimes, but we’re never too tired to try again. That's what the tree teaches us." + +John smiled and nodded. He said, "Okay, Mommy. I'll keep trying like the green tree." + +The moral of this story is that we should never give up, even when the task is hard, and to always keep trying. +One day Bob the Cat was walking alongside the river. He looked around and noticed the river was shallow. He had an idea and smiled. He saw a little pebble nearby and quickly grabbed it and dove into the river. + +Bob started feeling the cool water around him and gasped as some of it tickled his fur. He looked around and saw a group of little fish swimming around. The fishes swam up to Bob and asked, "What are you doing?" + +Bob smiled and replied, "I'm diving with my little pebble." He held up the pebble and showed it to the fishes. They all smiled in awe. After taking a quick look around, Bob dove further and deeper into the river. + +He felt the water wash over him and heard the gentle sound of the river. He was so happy in the moment that he spun around and around in the water. Bob splashed around and put the little pebble in his pocket. + +He waved goodbye to the fishes, and with one last dive, he swam back to the river bank. Bob was so happy that he had taken the dive and was now back on the land. The little pebble was a nice reminder of his fun adventure in the river. +Once upon a time, there was a wise ancient turtle named Toby. He wandered around the world while teaching lessons to the animals and birds. + +One noon, Toby came across a bear, resting in the shade of a tree. Toby greeted the bear and asked him why he wasn't up and working. The bear replied that he was feeling very tired and needed to rest for a while. + +But Toby shook his head and said, "Dear bear, rest today so that you can be more productive tomorrow. Don't let laziness take over your life!" + +The bear thought about Toby's wise words and decided to work hard for the rest of the day. And from then on, he always kept Toby's advice in mind. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to balance rest and work. Too much of either can have negative results. +Once upon a time there was a big mommy who was carrying a switch in her hand. She went to the living room and saw a naughty little boy. The boy had gotten too close to a hot stove. The mommy shouted "No!" and told the naughty boy to back off. + +The little boy felt scared and asked: "Mommy, why is the stove so hot?" + +The mommy said, "It is hot so you don't hurt yourself. You must never touch the hot stove, okay?" + +The little boy said, "Okay mommy. I won't". + +But the naughty boy forgot his promise. He kept touching the hot stove whenever he had an opportunity. The mommy got very angry and she took a firm switch in her hand. She told the naughty boy, "If you keep touching the hot stove, this switch will hurt you. + +The naughty boy was in shock. He realized he had made a mistake and he promised never to do it again, so the mommy put the switch away. + +The moral of the story is that you should always keep your promises. It is wrong to disobey the adults and it could have dangerous consequences. Foreshadowing an event is a good way to prepare for the future. A good setup and payoff can give an important lesson with a lasting impact. +Once there was a little boy. He was three years old and loved to swim. Every day he would go to the beach with his family. He wished he had a dog to swim with him. + +One day, while they were at the beach, the boy's dad looked over to the other side of the beach. There was a very rich man with a gold collar on his dog. + +The little boy's dad said, "I wish we were just as rich as him, so we could buy a dog like that." + +The boy smiled and said, "You don't need to be rich to have a dog. If we find a doggie that loves to swim, we can take care of it together!" + +The father smiled and said, "You're right, son. We don't need money to have a good time!" + +So the little family decided to look for a dog that liked to swim. Eventually, they found a pup that loved to play in the water. They took it home and took good care of it. + +Now, every time the family goes to the beach, the pup follows. They all swim together, enjoying each other's company. + +The moral of the story is that you don't need to be rich to be happy. All you need is love and a little bit of effort. +Once there was a little boy who wanted to climb a tree. He thought it looked very tall and he wanted to know how the view looked from up there. He looked up and said 'I'm going to try and climb that tree!' He started to climb, but after a few minutes he felt a pain in his hand. He stopped and thought to himself 'Am I going to be able to get to the top?' + +Then he heard a voice from below. It was his big sister. She said 'I can help you.' She was very thoughtful and had noticed his struggles to climb the tree. She showed him how to use his feet and hands to climb safely and soon he was reaching the top. + +The view was amazing!

He had a very loyal donkey who was always willing to help. One day when the farmer was out checking his fields, he slipped in the wet grass. He said to the donkey, "Oh my - I am so wet now!" + +The poor donkey felt so sorry for the farmer that it decided to slap him on the back a few times. The farmer wasn't hurt, but he was a bit surprised. He thanked the donkey and carried on working. + +The farmer had a friend who was a lawyer. When the lawyer heard what had happened he said, "That's against the law!" The farmer replied, "I know, but the donkey was just trying to help!" The lawyer thought for a moment and then said, "Well, that's a good enough excuse. The lawyer waved his hand and said, "The donkey is forgiven!" + +The farmer and the donkey were very happy. The farmer thanked the lawyer for letting them off. The donkey was especially thrilled and it hopped away, feeling very proud. +One day, Lucy's mommy said she was going to teach her a new language. Lucy had never heard of this before, but was excited to learn something new. + +"What language are we learning?" asked Lucy. + +"We're going to stretch our brains and learn Spanish!" said her mom cheered. + +Lucy loved the sound of it, and was eager to get started. She opened her book, and the words seemed easy to read. Every day, her mommy taught her new words. + +But after a few weeks, Lucy was starting to struggle. She was having a hard time understanding how to stretch the language, and she was getting tired of trying. + +This went on for days, until finally, her mommy said she was too tired of teaching her Spanish. She said Lucy was too slow, and she was not good at stretching the language. + +Lucy felt so sad. She was so close to learning Spanish, but it was too hard to stretch the language all the way. She put her book away and sadly, she never tried to learn Spanish again. +Once upon a time, there was a bird. It had a pale feather on its back. Every day, the bird would fold up its feather against its body. One day the bird decided to show off its feather and spread it wide. + +The bird flew up high in the sky and its pale feather glistened against the bright blue. It was so beautiful! + +Then the bird heard someone call. It was an older bird. The older bird said, "That feather of yours looks lovely, but I wouldn't show it off so much. You never know who might try to take it away from you." + +The young bird didn't listen and kept flying with its feather open. One day, the bird was flying around when it saw something shining. It wanted to take a closer look, so it flew down. + +In the long grass below, it saw a hunter with a net. The hunter saw the bird's pale feather and reached out to catch it. The bird tried to fly away quickly, but the hunter was too fast. He caught the bird in his net and took its feather away. + +The bird flew off sadly and was never able to get its feather back. The moral value of this story is that it is better to be safe than sorry. We must be careful not to show off our possessions too much, to avoid trouble. +Once there was a little girl named Liza. She was adorable and loved to go outside and explore. One day, Liza spotted a mountain in the distance. She decided it would be fun to climb it. + +Liza started her journey, but soon felt a pinch. It was a bee and it had stung her. Liza began to cry, but she had to keep going. + +Finally, Liza reached the top of the mountain. She was so happy and jumped for joy. But all of a sudden, a huge rock came tumbling down and knocked her over. + +Liza was laid up in bed for weeks. The pinch from the bee sting didn't go away. She was very sad and could never go back to the mountain ever again. +Once upon a time, there was a 3 year old boy. He wanted to go outside and play in the park, but his parents said he needed to stay inside. He was frustrated. + +The boy was sad and he kicked the door. "Why do I have to stay inside?" he asked. + +His mom replied, "We need to lock the door. There are some wide roads outside and it's not safe for you to go there alone." + +The boy crossed his arms and said, "But why can't I go outside?" + +His dad sighed and said, "We love you too much, and we want you to stay inside where it's safe." + +The boy was still frustrated. He knew he couldn't open the door and go outside, so he decided to make a game out of it. He imagined the roads were wide and full of adventures, and he pretended he was going on a big adventure, without ever leaving the house. +Toby was building a tower with his bricks. He had a big pile of red, yellow and gray bricks. Toby carefully picked up the gray brick and put it into the tower. The tower kept growing higher and higher. Toby was so proud that he was able to complete it and smiled. He then took a step back to admire his big tower. It even had a flag on top! Toby clapped and ran around the tower, jumping and shouting. He had created a very special tower! +Once upon a time, there was a baby elephant and a monkey. The elephant was very big, while the monkey was very small. One day, they decided to go on an adventure. + +As they walked, they heard a strange rhythm. The monkey was scared and asked the elephant, "What is that noise?" + +The elephant replied, "I'm not sure. Let's go see!" + +When they arrived, the monkey saw a big scale. It was used to weigh different animals. The monkey was even more scared and said, "Oh no! What will it do to me?" + +The elephant laughed and said, "Don't worry, it won't hurt you.
