It's not polite." John looked down at his finger and nodded. The man turned around and left. + +John was a little bit angry but also understood why the man had to be so rude.

They decided to build a box and fill it with stones and sand. The box was to be shiny and very useful. When the sun was too bright the animals put the box up in the sky. This made the sun dimmer and not as hot. + +But one day the sun started to be even brighter and hotter than before. This made the animals very angry.

Now, go and play, but remember to be good and kind. And always keep your eyes and your hearts open to the flag and what it means." + +Lily and Tom smiled and said, "Yes, sir. We will.

They have a bad day. +Lily and Max wanted to see the parade. They put on their hats and coats and went outside with Mom. Mom said they had to hold her hand and walk fast. There were many people and cars on the street. + +"Look, Max, there are balloons and flags and drums!" Lily said. She liked the parade. It was amazing. + +"I want to see the fire truck!" Max said. He liked the fire truck. It was big and red and loud. + +They walked and walked until they saw the fire truck. It was at the end of the parade. Max was happy. He let go of Mom's hand and ran to the fire truck. + +"Max, come back!" Mom said. She was scared. She ran after Max. + +But Max did not hear Mom. He wanted to touch the fire truck. He reached out his hand and pulled the hose. The hose was not attached to the fire truck. It was attached to a hydrant. + +Suddenly, water came out of the hose. It sprayed Max and the fire truck and the people. Everyone was wet and surprised. + +"Max, what did you do?" Mom said. She was angry. She grabbed Max and the hose and turned off the water. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to see the fire truck." Max said. He was sad. He did not mean to make a mess. + +"It's okay, Max. But you have to be careful. You can't pull things that don't belong to you. And you have to stay with me." Mom said. She was calm. She hugged Max and dried him with her coat. + +"Can we still see the parade?" Lily said. She was wet too. But she still liked the parade. + +"Yes, we can. But we have to find a new spot. And we have to stick together." Mom said. She smiled. She took Lily and Max by the hand and walked to the other side of the street. + +They found a new spot and watched the rest of the parade. They saw clowns and horses and bands. They waved and cheered and had fun. They forgot about the water and the hose. They enjoyed the amazing parade. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Anna and Lily did everything together. They had tea parties, read books, and sang songs. + +One day, Anna met a new girl at the park. Her name was Mia. Mia had a doll too. Her doll was called Ruby. Ruby had short hair and a blue dress. Mia and Anna wanted to play together, but they had a problem. Mia was deaf. She could not hear Anna's words. She could only see her lips. + +Anna tried to talk to Mia, but Mia did not understand. Anna felt sad. She wanted to be friends with Mia. She looked at Lily and had an idea. She took off Lily's dress and put it on Ruby. Then she took off Ruby's dress and put it on Lily. She showed Mia what she did. Mia smiled. She recognized the dolls. She knew they were the same, but with different dresses. She nodded and pointed at Anna and herself. She meant they were the same too, but with different ears. + +Anna smiled back. She understood Mia's sign. She nodded and hugged Mia. They were friends. They did not need words to play. They had dolls, and they had each other. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a black dress and black hair. Lily liked to pretend that Anna was a lawyer who helped people. + +One day, Lily's friend Ben came over to play. Ben saw Anna and wanted to play with her too. He grabbed Anna from Lily and said, "This is my doll now. I own her." + +Lily was very sad and angry. She said, "No, Ben, you can't own Anna. She is my doll. I own her. Give her back to me." + +Ben did not listen. He said, "No, Lily, you can't own Anna. She is too black for you. You need a doll that is white like you." + +Lily was very hurt by Ben's words. She said, "Ben, that is not nice. You can't say that. Anna is beautiful and smart and kind. She can be a lawyer and help people. Her color does not matter. You are being mean and rude." + +Ben did not care. He said, "I don't care. I like Anna and I want her. She is mine." + +Lily did not know what to do. She felt like crying. She wished that Anna could be a real lawyer and tell Ben to stop. She wished that Ben could be a good friend and share. She wished that people could be nice to each other and not judge by color. She wished that she could have her doll back. +Lily did not like the bus. It was big and loud and smelly. It made her feel sick in her tummy. She had to go on the bus every day with her mom to go to the big house where she played with other kids. She liked the kids, but she did not like the bus. + +One day, the sky was gloomy. It was gray and wet and cold. Lily put on her coat and hat and boots. She held her mom's hand and walked to the bus stop. She saw the bus coming. It was yellow and dirty and noisy. She frowned. She did not want to go on the bus. + +Her mom saw her frown. She smiled and hugged her. She said, "I know you don't like the bus, but it's only for a little while. We'll be there soon, and then you can have fun with your friends. And when we come back, we'll have a surprise for you. Do you want to know what it is?" + +Lily nodded. She liked surprises. She hoped it was something nice. She asked, "What is it, mom?" + +Her mom whispered, "It's a cake. A chocolate cake. With sprinkles. And candles. And a big balloon. Do you know why?" + +Lily gasped. She remembered. It was her birthday. She smiled. She forgot about the bus. She said, "Yay! I love cake! And balloons! And candles! And sprinkles! Thank you, mom!" + +Her mom kissed her. She said, "You're welcome, my sweet. Happy birthday, Lily. I love you." + +They got on the bus. Lily sat on her mom's lap. She looked out the window. She saw the gloomy sky. She did not mind. She was happy. She had a mom who loved her. And a cake waiting for her. And a birthday to celebrate. She hugged her mom. She said, "I love you, too, mom." +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long yellow hair and a pretty pink dress. Anna liked to teach Lily how to do things, like sing, dance, and read. + +One day, Anna's mom said they had to go to the store. Anna wanted to bring Lily with her. She put Lily in her backpack and got ready to go. She was very happy. + +At the store, Anna saw a lot of things. She saw fruits, vegetables, bread, and candy. She also saw other people, some big and some small. She wanted to show Lily everything. + +She took Lily out of her backpack and held her in her arms. She said, "Look, Lily, this is an apple. It is red and sweet. Do you like apples?" She pretended that Lily answered, "Yes, I do. They are yummy." + +Anna smiled and moved on. She saw a man with a big beard and a hat. She said, "Look, Lily, this is a man. He has hair on his face and on his head. Do you like hair?" She pretended that Lily answered, "No, I don't. It is scratchy." + +The man heard Anna and looked at her. He frowned and said, "Hey, little girl, that is not nice. Why are you talking to a doll? Don't you know that dolls can't talk?" + +Anna felt scared and sad. She did not like the man. She said, "Lily can talk. She is my friend. You are mean." + +The man laughed and said, "Ha, ha, ha. You are silly. Dolls are not friends. They are toys. You should play with real children, not dolls." + +Anna felt angry and hurt. She said, "No, you are silly. Lily is real. She is better than you. You are a bully." + +The man shook his head and walked away. He said, "Whatever. You are a weird kid." + +Anna felt embarrassed and ashamed. She hugged Lily and put her back in her backpack. She did not want to show Lily anything anymore. She wanted to go home. + +She found her mom and said, "Mom, can we go home? I don't like the store. I don't like the people." + +Her mom looked at her and said, "What happened, Anna? Did someone say something to you?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, a man. He was mean to me and Lily. He said Lily can't talk. He said Lily is not real. He said I am silly and weird." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, Anna, I'm sorry. That man was rude and wrong. Lily can talk to you, because you have a big imagination. Lily is real to you, because you love her. You are not silly or weird, you are smart and creative. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about yourself or your doll. You are wonderful, and so is Lily." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are nice and kind. I love you, and I love Lily." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. And I love Lily. She is a very pretty doll. Come on, let's go home and play with her." +Sam was a hairy dog who loved to eat sausages. He always begged his owner, Tom, to give him some when he cooked them for breakfast. Tom liked Sam, but he wanted him to behave and not beg for food all the time. He said, "Sam, you are a good dog, but you have to behave. You can't have sausages every day. They are not good for you. You have to eat your dog food and be happy with it." + +One day, Tom had to go to work and he left Sam alone in the house. He said, "Sam, I'll be back soon. Don't make a mess and don't touch the sausages. They are for later." Sam nodded, but he was not happy. He wanted to eat the sausages. He smelled them in the fridge and he thought, "Maybe I can have just one. Tom won't notice. He has so many." + +Sam jumped on the counter and opened the fridge. He saw the sausages and his mouth watered. He grabbed one with his teeth and ran to the couch. He ate it quickly and it was delicious. He thought, "That was so good. Maybe I can have another one. Tom won't mind. He has enough." He went back to the fridge and took another sausage. He ate it on the rug and it was even better. He thought, "That was amazing. Maybe I can have one more. Tom won't care. He has plenty." He went back to the fridge and took another sausage. He ate it on the bed and it was the best. He thought, "That was the best. Maybe I can have all of them. Tom won't need them. He has me." + +He went back to the fridge and took all the sausages. He ate them everywhere and he was very happy. He thought, "I ate all the sausages. They were all mine. Tom will be proud of me. He will see how much I love him." + +But Tom was not proud of Sam. He was very angry. He came back from work and he saw the mess. He saw the empty fridge and the sausage wrappers. He saw the stains on the couch, the rug and the bed. He saw Sam lying on the floor, with a big belly and a guilty look. He said, "Sam, what did you do? You ate all the sausages. You made a mess. You did not behave. You were a bad dog." + +Sam felt very sorry. He realized he made a mistake. He wagged his tail and licked Tom's hand. He said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was hungry. I wanted the sausages. I thought you would like it. I love you." + +Tom sighed and hugged Sam. He said, "I love you too, Sam. But you have to learn to behave. You can't eat everything you see. You have to listen to me and respect my rules. You have to eat your dog food and be healthy. You have to be a good dog." + +Sam nodded and promised to behave. He said, "I'll behave, Tom. I'll eat my dog food and be healthy. I'll listen to you and respect your rules. I'll be a good dog." + +Tom smiled and gave Sam a treat. He said, "That's good, Sam. I'm glad you understand. You are a good dog, but you have to behave. Now, let's clean up this mess and go for a walk." + +The moral of the story is: You have to behave and follow the rules, or you will get in trouble and make a mess. You have to be grateful for what you have and not be greedy for what you don't. You have to love and respect your owner and he will love and respect you back. +Tom and Lily were bored. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They looked around their room for something fun to do. They saw their big mattress on the floor. They had an idea. + +They dragged the mattress to the window. They found some pillows and blankets. They made a sail with a blanket and a stick. They tied the sail to the mattress. They climbed on the mattress. They pretended it was a boat. + +They sailed on the mattress-boat. They imagined they were on the sea. They saw fish and dolphins and whales. They waved to other boats. They felt the wind and the waves. They had a lot of fun. + +Mom came to check on them. She saw the mattress-boat by the window. She smiled. She thought it was impressive. She said, "Wow, you made a great boat! Where are you sailing to?" Tom and Lily said, "We are sailing to the island of toys!" Mom said, "That sounds like a wonderful place. Can I join you?" Tom and Lily said, "Yes, of course! Come on, Mom, let's sail!" +Lily loved to play with her kite. She liked to run and watch it soar in the sky. She liked the bright colors and the long tail. She liked to feel the wind on her face and in her hair. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. They found a big field with no trees. Lily ran with her kite and let it fly high. She was happy and laughed. + +But then, a huge bird came. It was black and had a sharp beak. It saw Lily's kite and thought it was a snack. It flew fast and grabbed the kite with its claws. It tore the kite and flew away. + +Lily was sad and cried. She lost her kite. Her mom and dad hugged her and said they were sorry. They said they would get her a new kite. They said they loved her. + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She still loved to play with kites. She hoped the bird would not come back. She looked at the sky and saw a rainbow. She said it was pretty. She said she loved her mom and dad. They said they loved her too. They stayed in the park for a minute and then went home. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and joke with each other. One day, they find a cord in the garage. It is long and red and shiny. + +"Look, I have a snake!" Sara says, holding the cord. She makes it wiggle and hiss. Ben laughs and pretends to be scared. + +"Help, help, a snake is chasing me!" he says, running away. Sara follows him with the cord. They have fun. + +But then, they see a real snake in the grass. It is black and slimy and scary. Sara and Ben stop joking and scream. They drop the cord and run back to the house. + +Mama and Papa hear them and come outside. They see the snake and the cord. They are not happy. + +"Sara, Ben, what are you doing?" Mama asks. "That cord is not a toy. It is dangerous. And that snake is not a joke. It is harmful. You could get hurt." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mama and Papa. They hug them and promise to be careful. + +Mama and Papa are not angry anymore. They are glad that Sara and Ben are safe. They say they love them and they are charming. They give them cookies and milk. Sara and Ben smile and say thank you. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were pilots of a big helicopter. They used a cardboard box, some sticks and some paper to make their helicopter. They were very creative. + +"Ready for take-off, Ben?" Anna asked. + +"Ready, Anna!" Ben said. + +They made loud noises with their mouths as they lifted the box in the air. They flew around the yard, looking for adventures. + +Suddenly, they heard a real helicopter in the sky. They stopped and looked up. It was a red and white helicopter, flying very fast. + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. + +"Maybe it's a rescue helicopter!" Ben said. + +They watched the helicopter fly over their house and disappear behind the trees. + +"Let's follow it!" Anna said. + +"OK, but we have to be quick!" Ben said. + +They ran to the front yard, carrying their box helicopter. They hoped to see the real helicopter again. + +But when they got to the front yard, they saw their mom waiting for them. + +"Anna, Ben, where are you going?" Mom asked. + +"We're following the helicopter, Mom!" Anna said. + +"Sorry, kids, but you can't do that. We have to go to the store now. We need to buy some milk and eggs," Mom said. + +"But Mom, we want to see the helicopter!" Ben said. + +"I know, but we can't delay. We have to go now. Maybe you'll see the helicopter later," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They wanted to play more with their helicopter. They wanted to see the real helicopter. + +"Can we take our helicopter with us, Mom?" Anna asked. + +Mom smiled. She saw how creative her kids were. + +"Sure, you can take your helicopter with us. But you have to hold it carefully. And you have to buckle up in the car," Mom said. + +"OK, Mom. Thank you!" Anna and Ben said. + +They put their box helicopter in the back seat of the car. They buckled up and waved goodbye to their backyard. + +They hoped to see the helicopter again. Maybe it would fly over the store. Maybe it would land near them. Maybe they could talk to the pilots. + +They were very excited. They loved helicopters. +Tim and Sue were friends who liked to play with their wagon. They found some paint cans in the garage and decided to make their wagon more colorful. They painted the wagon red, blue, yellow and green, and made some funny shapes and patterns. + +"Look at our wagon, it's so pretty!" Sue said. + +"Yes, it is! Let's show it to Mom and Dad!" Tim said. + +They pulled their wagon to the front yard, where Mom and Dad were sitting on the porch. They were very proud of their work and wanted to see their parents smile. + +But Mom and Dad did not smile. They looked very angry and sad. They saw the paint cans and the mess they made in the garage. They saw the wagon and how it was covered with paint. + +"What have you done?" Mom asked in a harsh voice. + +"You ruined the wagon! It was a gift from Grandpa! How could you?" Dad yelled. + +Tim and Sue felt very scared and sorry. They did not mean to ruin the wagon. They just wanted to have fun and be creative. They did not know that the paint was not for toys, but for walls and furniture. They did not know that Grandpa gave the wagon to them because he made it himself. + +They started to cry and say sorry, but Mom and Dad did not listen. They took the wagon away and threw it in the trash. They told Tim and Sue to go to their rooms and stay there until dinner. They said they were very disappointed and mad at them. + +Tim and Sue went to their rooms, feeling very sad and lonely. They wished they could have their wagon back. They wished they could make Mom and Dad happy again. They wished they never found the paint cans. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Tom was a fat cat who liked to sleep a lot. He had a soft bed in the house, but he also liked to explore outside. One day, he found a big tunnel in the garden. He was curious and wanted to see what was inside. + +He walked into the tunnel and saw that it was dark and cool. He heard some noises, like squeaks and scratches. He smelled some cheese and fish. He thought he had found a good place to sleep and eat. He did not know that the tunnel belonged to some rats. + +The rats were not happy to see Tom in their tunnel. They were afraid of him, but they also wanted to protect their food. They decided to make a plan to scare him away. They gathered some sticks and stones and waited for Tom to fall asleep. + +When Tom was snoring, the rats attacked. They threw the sticks and stones at him and made loud noises. Tom woke up and felt pain and fear. He ran out of the tunnel as fast as he could. He did not want to go back there ever again. + +He ran back to the house and jumped on his bed. He was glad to be safe and warm. He decided that he liked his bed better than the tunnel. He learned that some places are not good for sleeping.

The dog was scary." + +Their mom says, "I'm glad you are safe. I'm proud of you for being brave. I'm happy you are sorry. It's okay to disagree sometimes. But it's better to share and play together. Then you have more power. Then you have more fun." + +Tom and Mia nod. They say, "You are right, mom. We are friends. We will share and play together. We will not disagree about the white blocks. We will use them to build towers and houses. We will have more power. We will have more fun." + +Their mom smiles. She says, "That's a good idea. I love you both. Now, let's go and get your blocks. And maybe some cookies too." + +Tom and Mia smile. They say, "We love you too, mom. Thank you. Let's go and get our blocks. And some cookies too." + +They hold their mom's hand.

He did not like to wait. + +"Me too!" Lily said. She was impatient too. She liked to play on the swings and the slide. + +Mom said they had to be patient and kind. Dad was almost done. She said they could play with their toys or read a book while they waited. + +Ben and Lily did not want to play with their toys or read a book. They wanted to go to the park. They looked at the door and had an idea. + +"Let's go by ourselves!" Ben whispered to Lily. He took her hand and they walked to the door. They opened it and walked to the elevator. They pushed the button and waited for the elevator to come. + +The elevator came and they got in. They pushed the button for the ground floor. The elevator started to move. They were happy. They thought they were clever. + +But then the elevator stopped. It did not move anymore. It made a loud noise. Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know what to do. They pushed the buttons again and again, but nothing happened. + +They started to cry. They wanted Mom and Dad. They wished they had been patient and kind.

He pushed with his feet and made it go faster and faster. + +Sam felt the wind on his face and the sun in his eyes. He liked how the round thing made him dizzy. He laughed and shouted, "Whee! This is fun!" He did not see his mom waving at him and calling his name. + +After a while, Sam felt sick in his tummy. He wanted to stop, but he did not know how.

Sam and his family ran and ran, but the fire followed them. + +They came to a river and tried to cross it. But the water was too deep and too cold. Sam's father carried his sister and his mother held his hand. His dog swam beside them. But the current was too strong and too swift. It pulled them under and they could not breathe. Sam and his family drowned in the river. + +The fire burned the forest and the hut and the river. It did not care about Sam and his family.

She said, "I'm sorry, Sara. The dog was bad. He did not know it was your mirror. He thought it was a toy. But don't worry, we can get you a new mirror. Come on, let's go inside and return this one to the trash. Maybe we can find a better mirror for you." + +Sara nodded and wiped her tears. She picked up the broken mirror and followed her mom. She hoped to find a new mirror that was shiny and whole and fun. She hoped the dog would not come back and break it again. She was still sad, but she felt a little better. +Sara and Tom were very happy. They were going to the festival with Mom and Dad. The festival had many fun things. There were balloons, games, music, and food. Sara and Tom wanted to see everything. + +They saw a big tent with many animals. They wanted to go inside.

They said they had to ask before they touched them. They said they had to be kind and gentle with them. + +Sara and Tom felt bad. They said they were sorry, too. They said they wanted to be friends with the animals. They said they would listen to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad smiled and kissed them. They said they were proud of them. They said they could try again, but this time they had to follow the rules. Sara and Tom nodded and smiled. They went back to the tent, but this time they were careful and gentle with the animals. The animals were not scared or angry anymore. Some of them even came closer and let Sara and Tom pet them. Sara and Tom were very happy. They learned to be kind and gentle with the animals. They had fun at the festival. +Tom is a dog who likes to collect things. He collects sticks, balls, bones and toys. He has a big pile of things in his yard.

She wanted the ball so much. + +Then she saw a hole in the fence. The hole was small and dark. Lily was scared. She did not know what was on the other side of the fence. Maybe there were mean dogs or scary monsters. Maybe the ball was not real. + +But Lily felt an urge. The urge was strong and loud. The urge told her to go through the hole and get the ball. The urge made her brave and curious. Lily decided to listen to the urge. + +She crawled to the hole. She squeezed her body through the hole. It was tight and hard. She scraped her knees and elbows.

She tells Lily and Ben to be good and stay in the living room. She says she will be back soon. Lily and Ben say yes, Mom. They wave goodbye to Mom. + +But when Mom is gone, Lily and Ben see a big jar on the kitchen counter. The jar has a label that says "Cookies". Lily and Ben love cookies.

They smell the cookies. They look yummy. They take one cookie each. They bite the cookies. They taste good. They smile at each other. + +But then, they hear a sound. It is the door. Mom is back. She sees Lily and Ben with the cookies. She sees the jar on the counter. She sees the chair on the floor. She is not happy. + +She says to Lily and Ben, "What are you doing? Why did you open the jar?

They have fun. +Anna and Ben are friends who like to play in the park. They see a big vine hanging from a tree. They want to swing on it like monkeys. + +"Let me go first!" Anna says. She runs to the vine and grabs it with both hands. She tries to swing, but the vine does not move. She is too light to weigh it down. + +"Ha ha, you are too small!" Ben laughs. He pushes Anna away and takes the vine. He is bigger and heavier than Anna. He swings on the vine and makes a loud noise. He is having fun. + +Anna is angry and sad. She wants to swing too, but Ben does not let her. She thinks of a way to make him stop. She sees a big rock near the tree. She picks it up and throws it at Ben. + +"Ow!" Ben cries.

He picks it up and wraps it around the lid. He says to Sam, "This will make the lid less slippery. Let's try again." They both hold the jar and the rubber band. They twist the lid hard. It makes a pop sound. The jar is open! + +They are very happy. They see many colors and shapes of candy. They say, "Wow, this is the best candy ever!" They take some candy and eat it. It is sweet and yummy. They smile and hug. They share the candy and the jar. They are good friends. They solved the problem. The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a favorite toy: a big red top that could spin very fast. They took turns to make it spin, and watched it go round and round. + +One day, they met a new boy in the park. His name was Max, and he had a big blue bike. He saw Tom and Lily's top and said, "That's a silly toy. It's too slow and boring. My bike is much better. It can go very fast and make loud noises. Do you want to see?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious about Max's bike. They followed him to a hill, where he got on his bike and said, "Watch this!" He pushed the start button, and the bike made a loud roar. He zoomed down the hill, leaving a trail of smoke behind him. + +Tom and Lily were amazed. They had never seen a bike like that. They clapped and cheered. "Wow, that's so cool!" they said. + +Max came back, looking very proud. He said, "See? I told you my bike is better. Your top is just a lazy toy. It can't do anything. Why don't you give it to me, and I'll let you ride my bike?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They liked their top. It was their favorite toy. They didn't want to give it to Max. But they also wanted to try his bike. It looked like fun. They didn't know what to do. + +Then, they had an idea. They said, "OK, Max. We'll give you our top, but only if you can make it spin faster than your bike. Can you do that?" + +Max laughed. He said, "Of course I can. That's easy. Give me your top, and I'll show you." + +Tom and Lily gave him their top. Max took it and said, "Watch this!" He threw the top on the ground, and kicked it hard. He expected it to spin very fast, and then stop. + +But he was wrong. The top didn't spin fast. It didn't spin at all. It just bounced and rolled away. Max had kicked it too hard, and broke it. + +Tom and Lily gasped. They saw their top broken and sad. They felt angry and sad too. They said, "Max, you broke our top! That's not nice! You're a mean boy!" + +Max looked surprised. He said, "Oops. Sorry. I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Here, take your top back. I don't want it anyway. It's a silly toy." + +But Tom and Lily didn't want their top back. It was too late. It was ruined. They said, "No, thank you. You can keep it. We don't want to play with you anymore. You're a bad boy!" + +They turned around and ran away. They left Max alone with his bike and their broken top. He felt sorry and sad too. He wished he had been nicer to Tom and Lily. He wished he had played with their top instead of breaking it. He wished he had made new friends instead of losing them. He learned a lesson that day: don't be mean to other people's toys, or you'll end up alone. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to play with her toys. One day, her mom asked her to clean up her room. Lily didn't want to, but her mom said it was important to keep things organized. + +Lily started to pick up her toys and put them away.

Timmy loved to run and play with his friends. One day, Timmy fell off his bike and hurt his leg. His mom took him to the doctor, and the doctor said that Timmy's leg muscle was broken.

He didn't care about it and continued to eat his candy. But then, a bomb exploded near his house and Timmy got hurt. His mom rushed him to the hospital, but it was too late.

One day, he was walking around his house with a mop when a little girl saw him from her window. + +The little girl had never seen someone so grumpy before and she couldn't understand why the old man was so mad. She just stared at the old man, wondering why he looked so unhappy. + +The old man noticed the little girl and became even grumpier. He scolded the little girl for staring and waved his mop at her. Suddenly, he began to smile. The old man had remembered that he used to be a little boy, too. He liked to pretend that the mop was a magical wand and he wanted to show the little girl the same game. + +The old man motioned for the little girl to come over. She was scared of the old man but when she saw him smiling, she decided to go to him.

She sat down, smiling, to admire her work. She felt so smart and proud of her treasure. + +Suddenly, out of nowhere, a robin landed on the ground next to her.

A kind old man who was nearby saw how sad she was and came over to help. He tried to open the gate, but he couldn't do it, either. + +The little girl was so happy that someone was trying to help her. Then, the old man came up with a plan. He took the little girl's hand and said, "Let's be friends." And that's exactly what they did.

They found out that it didn't matter if they couldn't get through the gate, because they could always stay together and have fun on either side. + +The little girl and the old man were so happy together, and the gate was so happy for them, too.

She asked her friends, "What if there's not enough medical supplies? We might not be able to help everyone!" + +Everyone was silent. Eventually one doctor said, "You're right - we must go out with enough supplies to help as many people as possible! Don't worry, Lilly, we'll fill as many bags as we can!" + +And so they did. With great bravery they filled their bags with as many supplies as they could and raced to the village. They filled the villagers with hope and saved many lives. + +The moral of the story is that it's better to be prepared for something rather than rush in without thinking first.

"It was interesting..." + +The elderly woman smiled. "I understand," she said. "But next time, just ask instead of pinch." Then she patted the little boy’s head and walked away. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was very restless. She wanted to go and explore the world, so one day she demanded her shoulder from her mom. Her mom was tired and said no. The girl waited and was very patient.

One day her mum said "Mary, don't throw things in the house, there's a bin outside you can use." + +Mary thought for a second and decided to listen. The next morning she decided to take her mum's advice and went outside with a light in her hand.

He really wanted to keep it safe, so he held it tight in his hands. But he didn't want to keep it in his hands forever, so he decided to put it somewhere safe. He saw a dry wood in the corner, so he put the potato there. He thought no one else would find it. + +But before he realised, the dry wood was on fire. The fire was getting higher and higher and the boy was very scared. He tried to grab the potato and get it out, but it was too late. The heat had already made it dry and hard like a rock. + +Suddenly, the potato broke into pieces! The boy was very sad and started crying, because all the pieces of the potato were lost forever. + +The moral of the story is that if you want to keep something safe, you should never take your eyes off it.

They then both stretched out their necks and looked at each other. + +"Ready, set, go!" said one of the birds. + +The two friends began to run as fast as they could down the line. They had a great time and laughed as they dashed. + +Finally, the race was over and the two friends stopped and looked at each other. + +"You won!" said the first bird. + +The second bird smiled and said, "No, I think we both were successful. We had a great time and that's what matters the most!" + +And the two friends hugged each other in happiness. +Once there was a delicate flower growing in a sunny meadow. Every day, it added to the beauty of the meadow. Every day, the flower learnt new things from the other plants and animals surrounding it. + +One day, the flower heard some news; a nearby town was going to be built and its construction would remove the meadow.

He asked them to find a way to protect the meadow and keep it safe. + +After some time, the people understood the importance of the meadow and agreed to stop the removal of the meadow. They started planting more flowers, protecting and caring for the meadow. + +The moral of the story is that by working together and communicating, we can make a difference and protect the delicate beauty of our environment. +One day, Mommy took her little girl to the park. She had a big smile on her face, and her little girl admired her. As they walked, they passed a tall tree. Mommy stopped and said, "Let's look up at the top of the tree and see how tall it is!" + +But before the girl could answer, her brother ran past and stepped on a scale at the base of the tree. He laughed and said, "Look, it's taller than me!" + +The girl smiled, but something was wrong. She could feel it. She asked, "What's that scale over there?" + +Mommy looked sad and said, "It's to measure how tall trees are. It's like a ruler, so we can see how big the tree is." + +The girl and her brother looked at the tree and then at the scale. The tree was much taller. Then, a loud crack echo in the park. The girl and her brother gasped. The top of the tree was breaking off and falling. Mommy yelled for them to run, but it was too late. The branch came crashing down and hit the girl. + +Mommy was devastated. She rushed to the girl's side, but it was too late. Her little girl was gone.

That is why you must always be careful with matches". + +Susie nodded thoughtfully and hugged her mum before running off to play again. +One evening, Beth and her dad went to the park. Beth thought it was so fun to go to the park at night! They stopped at the pond to look around.

This time, let's agree and not break the rule." + +This time, when they made their sandcastle, it was bigger and better.
