Mia says. + +"You are very welcome, kids, you are very polite!" the truck driver says. He gives them a thumbs up and gets back in the truck.

Tom wants to play with it, but he does not ask his friends if they want to share. + +He runs to the ball and grabs it with his paw. He shakes it and hears the bell ring. He is very happy.

His friends look at him and say, "OK, Tom, you can play with us. But you have to be nice and fair. Sharing is caring. Do you understand?" Tom nods and says, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for forgiving me. Can I have a paw?" His friends give him a paw and they all play together with the ball. They are very happy. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be selfish and greedy. Share your toys and your joy with your friends. They will love you more and you will have more fun. +Lila and Tom are on a big boat with their mom and dad. They like to look at the water and the fish and the birds. Sometimes they see other boats too. + +One day, they see a big boat with many colors and flags. It is louder and faster than their boat. Lila and Tom want to go closer and see what it is. + +"Mom, dad, what is that boat?" they ask. + +"That is a port boat," mom says. "It carries people and things from one place to another. It is going to the port, where there are many buildings and cars and shops." + +"Can we go to the port too?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe another day," dad says. "But not today. We have to turn and go back to our home." + +"Why?" Lila asks. + +"Because the port boat makes big waves and thick smoke. It is not good for our boat or the water or the air. We have to be careful and stay away from it." + +Lila and Tom are sad. They want to see the port and the people and the things. But they also want to be safe and happy.

They made tracks on the floor and pretended to be drivers and passengers. + +One day, they found an ancient train in the attic. It was big and black and had a lot of dust on it. It looked like it was very old and had not been used for a long time. + +"Wow, look at this train!" Tom said. "It's so cool! Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it's broken. And it's very dirty. We should ask mom first." + +But Tom was too curious. He touched the train and tried to make it move. He pushed a button and suddenly the train made a loud noise. It started to move on its own and ran out of the attic. + +"Help! The train is alive!" Lily screamed. "It's going to crash!" + +Tom and Lily ran after the train. They tried to stop it, but it was too fast. It went down the stairs and into the living room. It knocked over the furniture and the lamps. It scared the cat and the dog. It made a big mess. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was going on. They saw the train and the children running behind it. They were very surprised and angry. + +"What are you doing?" Mom shouted. "How did you get that train? It's very dangerous!" + +"We're sorry, mom," Tom and Lily said. "We found it in the attic. We wanted to play with it. We didn't know it would do this." + +Mom and dad stopped the train and took it away. They told Tom and Lily that the train was a family heirloom. It belonged to their great-grandfather, who was a train engineer. He loved trains and wanted to marry one. But he couldn't, because trains are not people. He kept the train in the attic as a reminder of his dream. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for their great-grandfather. They also felt sorry for the train. They wondered if the train was lonely and sad. They asked mom and dad if they could keep the train and play with it sometimes. + +Mom and dad thought about it. They decided to let Tom and Lily keep the train, but only if they promised to be careful and respectful. They also cleaned the train and fixed it.

Blue felt sorry for True. He said, "I have a ball too. It is blue and soft and makes a squeak. You can play with it if you want. I will share it with you." + +True looked at Blue's ball. It was not like his ball. It was not red or round or bouncy. He did not think it was fun. He said, "No, thank you. I do not want your ball. I want my ball. Your ball cannot replace my ball.

We can play with both balls together. That would be more fun." + +True thought about what Blue said. He realized that he was being rude and ungrateful. He said, "You are right, Blue. I am sorry. I was not nice to you. You are a good friend. Your ball is perfect for you, and my ball was perfect for me. But maybe we can find a new ball that is perfect for both of us. And we can still play with your ball and my ball too, if we ever find them again." + +Blue smiled and said, "That sounds good, True. I forgive you. Let's go and look for a new ball. Maybe we will find one that is green and fuzzy and makes a rattle. That would be fun." + +True and Blue hugged and went to look for a new ball. They learned that they should be thankful for what they have, and that they should respect and appreciate their differences. They also learned that sharing and playing together is more fun than playing alone. +Anna was very excited. Today was her birthday and she was going to have a big party.

"You can try it with me. I will hold your hand." + +"No, no, no!" Ben said. "It's too high. I will fall. I want to stay safe." + +Lily was sad. She liked the slide, but she also liked Ben. She did not want to leave him alone. She thought of an idea. + +"Look, Ben, there is a smaller slide over there. It's not so high. Maybe you can try that one first. Then you can try the big one later." + +Ben looked at the smaller slide. It was not so scary. He nodded. + +"Okay, Lily, I will try it. But you have to go with me." + +Lily smiled. She was generous. She did not mind going on the smaller slide with Ben. She wanted him to be happy. + +They went to the smaller slide and slid down together. Ben laughed. He liked it.

Let's go!" + +They ran to the big slide and slid down together. They had fun. They were both safe and happy. +Tom and Sue are dogs. They are friends. They like to play and run in the park. One day, they find a big bone. It is very attractive. It smells good and looks tasty. + +"Wow, look at this bone!" Tom says. "It is the best bone ever. I want it." + +"No, I want it!" Sue says. "It is my bone. I saw it first." + +Tom and Sue disagree. They both want the bone. They start to growl and bark at each other. They pull the bone with their teeth. They try to take it away from each other. + +"Stop it, you two!" a voice says. It is their owner, Sam. He is a boy. He loves Tom and Sue. He does not like to see them fight. + +"Bad dogs!" Sam says. "You have to share the bone. It is big enough for both of you. You can take turns to chew it. Or you can play with it together. But you cannot be greedy and mean." + +Tom and Sue feel ashamed. They know Sam is right. They are sorry for being bad dogs. They let go of the bone. They wag their tails and lick Sam's face. + +"Good dogs!" Sam says. He smiles and hugs them. He gives them each a piece of the bone. "Now you can enjoy the bone and be friends again." + +Tom and Sue are happy. They thank Sam. They eat their pieces of the bone. They play and run in the park.

One day, she invited Ben, a dog, and Sam, a rabbit, to play with her in the garden. She showed them her ball, her rope, and her mouse. + +"Can I play with the ball?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, you can," Lily said. "You are my friend and I like to share." + +"Can I play with the rope?" Sam asked. + +"Of course, you can," Lily said. "You are my friend and I like to share." + +Lily played with the mouse, but she soon got bored. She looked at Ben and Sam, who were having fun with the ball and the rope. She felt a little sad. + +"Can I play with the ball, too?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry, Lily, but I have the ball now," Ben said. "You can wait your turn." + +"Can I play with the rope, too?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry, Lily, but I have the rope now," Sam said. "You can wait your turn." + +Lily felt very sad. She thought Ben and Sam were not polite. She wanted to play with them, but they did not want to share. She decided to go inside and find another toy. + +She found a big box in the living room. She opened it and saw a lot of shiny things. She saw a necklace, a bracelet, a ring, and a crown. She put them on and felt very happy. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. + +"I am a princess," she said.

They take turns to spray each other and laugh. + +One day, they see a big leather bag on the sofa. It is Mom's bag. She uses it for work. It has many things inside, like papers and pens and a phone. + +"Let's spray the bag!" says Ben. He thinks it will be fun. + +"No, Ben, that is not good!" says Mia. She knows Mom will be angry.

It is very sick and I need it to go to the store." + +Tom says, "Sure, I can fix your car. Let me see what is wrong with it." He opens the hood and looks inside. He sees a lot of dirt and oil.

They had a lot of fun. + +But then, their big brother Ben came out of the house. He saw their toy cars and wanted to play with them too. He took Tim's red car and Lily's blue car and ran away. + +"Hey, give them back!" Tim shouted. He and Lily chased after Ben, but he was too fast. He laughed and said, "You are too small to catch me. I have the power!" + +Tim and Lily felt sad and angry. They wanted their toy cars back. They stopped and looked at each other. They had an idea. + +They went to the shed and found two big boxes. They put the boxes on their heads and cut out holes for their eyes. They drew wheels and windows on the boxes with crayons. They had made their own cars. + +They got out of the shed and shouted, "Look at us, Ben! We have new cars. They are nicer than yours!" + +Ben heard them and turned around. He saw their box cars and felt curious. He wanted to see them closer. He put down Tim's and Lily's toy cars and walked towards them. + +But Tim and Lily were clever. They waited until Ben was close enough and then jumped out of their boxes. They grabbed their toy cars and ran back to the garden. + +"Ha ha, we tricked you!" they said.

They pretended they were sailors who had to deliver things to different places. Sometimes they delivered fruits, sometimes they delivered toys, sometimes they delivered letters. + +One day, they decided to deliver a big cake to their friend Sam, who lived on the other side of the harbor. They put the cake on one of their boats and pushed it in the water. "This will be easy," Tim said. "We just have to follow the wind and the waves." + +But the wind and the waves were not easy.

They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was barking and running towards them. + +"Stop, dog, stop!" Tom shouted. He was nervous. He did not like big dogs. He ran to his mom and hugged her leg. + +Anna was not nervous. She liked dogs. She had a blanket in her hand. She waved the blanket at the dog and said, "Hi, dog, do you want to play?" + +The dog saw the blanket and stopped barking. He wagged his tail and ran to Anna. He sniffed the blanket and licked Anna's face. Anna giggled and petted the dog. + +"See, Tom, he is a nice dog. He just wants to be friends," Anna said. She gave the blanket to the dog and he carried it in his mouth. + +Tom looked at the dog and saw that he was not scary. He smiled and said, "OK, Anna, let's play with the dog. What is his name?" + +Anna thought for a moment and said, "His name is Spot. He has a spot on his ear. Do you like Spot, Tom?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, I like Spot. He is a good dog. Can we keep him, mom?" + +Mom laughed and said, "No, Tom, we can't keep him. He belongs to someone else. Maybe we can visit him again. Come on, let's go home. It's getting late." + +Tom and Anna said goodbye to Spot and gave him back his blanket. Spot barked and wagged his tail. He was happy. Tom and Anna were happy too. They had a new friend. +Sara and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They saw a big drawer in the corner. It was old and dusty. They thought there might be something shiny inside. + +"Let's open it!" Sara said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be heavy." Tom said. + +They pulled the drawer out. It was hard to move. They saw some papers and books and a small box. They opened the box. There was a necklace with a blue stone. It sparkled in the light. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara said. "It's so pretty. Can I wear it?" + +"Sure, why not. It's our treasure." Tom said. + +Sara put the necklace around her neck. She felt happy. She wanted to show it to her mom. She ran to the door. But she did not see the drawer on the floor. She tripped over it and fell. She hit her head on the edge of the table. She cried out loud. + +Mom heard the noise and came running. She saw Sara on the floor, bleeding. She saw the necklace on her neck. She gasped. She recognized it. It was her grandmother's necklace. She had set it in the drawer a long time ago. She had forgotten about it. It was very valuable and sentimental. She was angry and sad. + +"Sara, what have you done?" Mom yelled. "This is not yours. This is grandma's necklace. You broke it. You hurt yourself. You are in big trouble." + +Sara felt scared and sorry. She did not mean to do anything bad. She just wanted to play. She wished she had never opened the drawer. She wished she had never seen the necklace. She wished she could take it all back. But it was too late. She had made a big mistake. She had upset her mom. She had lost her treasure. She had ruined her day. +Lily was sick. She had a bad cough and a sore throat. She did not want to play or eat. Mommy gave her a pill to make her feel better. But Lily did not like the pill. It was big and bitter. She spit it out. + +"No, no, no!" Lily said. "I don't want the pill!" + +Mommy was sad. She wanted Lily to be well. She tried to make Lily take the pill again. + +"Please, Lily, take the pill. It will help you. You can have some juice after the pill. And a hug." + +Lily shook her head. She hid under the blanket. She did not want the pill or the juice or the hug. + +Mommy had an idea. She called Toby, Lily's big brother. Toby was cheerful and funny. He liked to make Lily laugh. + +"Toby, can you help me?" Mommy asked. "Lily needs to take this pill, but she doesn't want to. Can you show her how to do it?" + +Toby nodded. He took a pill from Mommy. He pretended it was a rocket. He made a zooming sound. He pushed the pill into his mouth. He swallowed it. He smiled. + +"See, Lily, it's easy. It's like a rocket. You can do it too. Push the pill into your mouth and zoom!" + +Lily peeked from the blanket. She saw Toby's smile. She heard his zoom. She was curious. She wanted to try. + +She took the pill from Mommy. She held it in her hand. She made a zooming sound. She pushed the pill into her mouth. She swallowed it. She smiled. + +"Yay, Lily, you did it!" Toby cheered. "You are a brave rocket girl!" + +Mommy was happy. She gave Lily some juice. She gave her a hug. She thanked Toby. + +Lily felt better. She hugged Mommy and Toby. She was cheerful too. She wanted to play and eat. She was not sick anymore. +Lily was an adventurous girl. She liked to act like different animals and make funny noises. She had a big box of costumes and toys that she used to pretend. + +One day, she decided to act like a lion. She put on a furry coat and a hat with ears. She roared and ran around the house. She scared her little brother, who was playing with his blocks. He cried and ran to his mom. + +"Lily, stop acting like a lion!" her mom said. "You are scaring your brother. He is not having fun. You need to be kind and share your toys." + +"But I want to act like a lion!" Lily said. "It is fun. I am the king of the jungle." + +"No, you are not. You are a girl. And you need to respect your family. Acting like a lion is not nice. It is rude and mean. How would you feel if someone scared you?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered how she felt when a big dog barked at her in the park. She felt scared and sad. She did not like it. + +"I would feel bad," she said. + +"Then you should not make your brother feel bad. You should say sorry and play with him. You can act like other animals that are not scary. Like a bunny, or a bird, or a fish." + +Lily nodded. She took off her lion costume and put it back in the box. She went to her brother and hugged him. + +"I am sorry, brother. I did not mean to scare you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Her brother smiled and nodded. He wiped his tears and picked up his blocks. + +"Yes, I want to play with you. Can we act like bunnies?" + +"Sure, we can act like bunnies. Bunnies are cute and fluffy. And they hop and eat carrots." + +Lily and her brother had fun acting like bunnies. They made funny noises and hopped around the house. They shared their toys and laughed. Their mom was happy to see them get along. + +Lily learned that acting like a lion was not fun. It was hurtful and selfish. She learned that acting like a bunny was better. It was kind and friendly. She learned that being adventurous was good, but being nice was better. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find worms and bugs. They saw a big hole under a tree. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the hole," Tom said. "Maybe we can find a treasure." + +"No, Tom, it's too dark and scary," Sara said. "We need a light." + +Tom had an idea. He ran to the house and got a bulb. He put it in his pocket and came back. + +"Look, Sara, I have a bulb. We can use it as a light," he said. + +"How can we use a bulb as a light?" Sara asked. "It needs a wire and a switch." + +Tom smiled. He had another idea. He found a long stick and tied the bulb to the end. He pretended it was a torch. + +"See, Sara, now we have a light. Come on, let's go in the hole," he said. + +Sara was still frightened, but she wanted to be brave. She followed Tom to the hole. They crawled inside. It was dark and cold and wet. They could hear strange noises. + +"Tom, I don't like it here. Let's go back," Sara said. + +"Don't be silly, Sara. We are adventurers. We have to explore," Tom said. He waved his bulb-stick around. "Look, there's something shiny over there. Maybe it's a treasure." + +Tom moved closer to the shiny thing. Sara stayed behind. She wished they had a real light. She wished they were back in the garden. + +Suddenly, Tom screamed. He dropped his bulb-stick and ran back to Sara. He was covered in mud and blood. He had a big bite on his arm. + +"Sara, Sara, help me! There's a big rat in there! It bit me! It hurt me!" he cried. + +Sara was terrified. She grabbed Tom's hand and tried to pull him out of the hole. But the rat was faster. It jumped on Tom and bit him again. And again. And again. + +Sara screamed too. She let go of Tom's hand and ran out of the hole. She ran to the house and called for her mom. She was crying and shaking. + +"Mom, mom, help! There's a big rat in the hole! It bit Tom! It hurt him!" she sobbed. + +Her mom came out and saw Sara. She saw the hole. She saw the bulb-stick. She saw the blood. She was horrified. + +"Oh, Sara, what have you done? Where is Tom?" she asked. + +Sara pointed to the hole. She could still hear Tom's screams. She could still see the rat's teeth. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," she said. + +Her mom hugged her and tried to calm her down. She called for help. She hoped it was not too late. She hoped Tom would be okay. + +But it was too late. Tom was not okay. The rat had killed him. Sara had lost her brother. She had lost her friend. She wished she had never gone in the hole. She wished she had never seen the bulb. She wished she had thanked Tom for being nice to her. She wished she had said goodbye. +Sara was a girl who liked to feel clean. She did not like dirt or bugs or mud. She liked to take baths with bubbles and soap. She liked to wear pretty dresses and shiny shoes. She liked to sleep in a big bed with soft pillows and blankets. + +One day, Sara went to visit her grandma. Her grandma lived in a small house in the country. Sara did not like the country. She thought it was too noisy and smelly. She saw cows and pigs and chickens. She saw flies and ants and spiders. She did not want to touch anything. + +Her grandma tried to make Sara happy. She gave her cookies and milk. She showed her her garden and her flowers. She read her a story and sang her a song. But Sara was not happy. She wanted to go home. She wanted to feel clean. + +She told her grandma that she wanted to take a bath. Her grandma said okay. She filled the tub with water and added some salt. She said it was good for the skin. She did not have bubbles or soap. She did not have a luxury bath. Sara did not like it. She said it was too cold and too salty. She did not want to get in. + +She started to cry and scream. She said she hated the country. She said she hated her grandma. She said she wanted to go home. Her grandma was very sad. She tried to calm Sara down. She tried to hug her and kiss her. But Sara pushed her away. She ran out of the bathroom. She ran out of the house. She ran into the road. + +She did not see the big truck. The truck did not see her. The truck hit her. Sara fell down. She did not get up. She did not cry or scream. She did not feel anything. She was not clean. She was not happy. She was not alive. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers with the hose. The hose was long and green and made a funny sound when they turned it on. The flowers were beautiful. They had many colors and smelled nice. + +"Look, Max, this one is pink and yellow!" Lily said, pointing to a rose. + +"I like this one better. It is blue and purple!" Max said, showing her a pansy. + +They both wanted to water their favorite flowers, but there was only one hose. They started to pull the hose in different directions. + +"Give me the hose, Lily! I want to water the blue and purple flower!" Max said. + +"No, Max, it is my turn! I want to water the pink and yellow flower!" Lily said. + +They pulled harder and harder, until the hose slipped from their hands and sprayed water everywhere. They got wet and cold and started to cry. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Mommy said, running to them. She turned off the hose and hugged them. "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over the hose?" + +"Lily and Max both wanted to water their favorite flowers, but there was only one hose," Lily said. + +"Well, you know what? There are enough flowers for both of you. You don't have to fight over the hose. You can take turns and share. How about that?" Mommy said. + +Lily and Max looked at each other and nodded. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. Mommy smiled and gave them each a towel. She helped them dry off and then gave them a cookie. + +"Next time, remember to be nice and share. The flowers are beautiful, but so are you," Mommy said. + +Lily and Max agreed. They thanked Mommy and went back to the garden. They took turns and shared the hose. They watered the flowers and made them happy. They also made Mommy happy. And they were happy too. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They liked to make houses and cars and animals with their blocks and sticks. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, they saw a group of big kids walking by. The big kids had bikes and balls and dolls. They looked very happy and loud. Lily and Ben wanted to play with them, but they were too shy to ask. + +One of the big kids saw Lily and Ben and their toys. He laughed and said, "Look at those poor kids. They have no good toys. They only have blocks and sticks. How boring!" + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They did not like the big kid. He was mean and rude. They wanted to say something, but they were too scared. + +The big kid came closer and reached for one of Ben's sticks. He said, "Give me that stick. I want to see how sharp it is. Maybe I can poke you with it." + +Ben did not want to give his stick. He liked his stick. He used it to make cars and animals. He said, "No, it is my stick. Go away!" + +The big kid did not listen. He tried to grab the stick from Ben. Ben held on tight. They pulled and pushed. The stick broke in half. The big kid got a sharp piece in his hand. He cried out loud. He dropped the stick and ran away. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were glad the big kid was gone. They hugged each other and said, "We are not poor. We have good toys. We have each other. We are happy." +Anna loved to help her mama in the garden. She liked to dig, plant, water and watch the flowers grow. She was a humble girl who did not brag or show off. She was happy to share her garden with the birds and the bees and the butterflies. + +One day, Anna saw a big sunflower in the garden. It was taller than her and had a bright yellow face. She wanted to touch it and smell it, but it was too high for her. She asked her mama, "How can I reach the sunflower?" + +Her mama smiled and said, "You can raise your arms and stand on your toes. Or you can use a stool or a ladder. Or you can wait until the sunflower bends down to say hello." + +Anna tried to raise her arms and stand on her toes, but she was still too short. She looked for a stool or a ladder, but she could not find any. She decided to wait until the sunflower bent down to say hello. She sat on the grass and sang a song to the sunflower. + +The sunflower heard Anna's song and liked it very much. It felt happy and grateful for her humble and kind heart. It wanted to thank her and make her smile. So it slowly bent down its stem and touched Anna's nose with its petals. Anna giggled and hugged the sunflower. She said, "Thank you, sunflower. You are my friend." + +The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to decorate things. They have many crayons and stickers and glue. They decorate their books, their toys, their clothes and their walls. Mom and Dad are not happy. They say, "Stop decorating everything! You make a big mess!" + +One day, Mom and Dad have a big map. It shows many countries. They say, "We are going on a trip. We will visit a new country. It is called France. It has a funny tower and yummy bread and cheese. Do you want to go?" + +Lily and Ben are excited. They say, "Yes, we want to go! Can we decorate the map?" Mom and Dad say, "No, you cannot decorate the map. It is important. We need it to find our way. You can decorate your own paper." + +Lily and Ben get their own paper. They draw a funny tower and bread and cheese. They use many crayons and stickers and glue. They say, "Look, we made France! It is beautiful!" Mom and Dad smile. They say, "You are very creative. But please, do not decorate the map." + +Lily and Ben nod. They put their paper away. They pack their bags. They are ready to go. They say, "We are going to France! We will see the funny tower and eat the yummy bread and cheese. Maybe we will find more things to decorate!" Mom and Dad laugh. They say, "We hope so. But please, be careful!" +One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. But Lily was scared. She did not like high things. + +Tom said, "Don't be scared, Lily. It is fun. I will explain how to slide. You sit on the top and hold the sides. Then you let go and go down fast. You feel the wind and the sun. It is like flying." + +Lily said, "But what if I fall? What if I get hurt?" + +Tom said, "You won't fall. You won't get hurt. The slide is safe. It has a smooth surface and a soft end. And mom is watching us. She will catch us if we need help. She has power. She can do anything." + +Lily looked at mom. Mom smiled and nodded. She said, "Tom is right, Lily. You can do it. I am here for you. You are brave and strong. You have power too. You can try new things and have fun." + +Lily felt better. She trusted Tom and mom. She decided to try the slide. She climbed the steps and sat on the top. She held the sides and looked down. She felt nervous, but also excited. She let go and went down fast. She felt the wind and the sun. She felt like flying. She reached the end and landed on the soft grass. She laughed and said, "That was fun! I did it! I want to do it again!" + +Tom and mom were glad. They clapped and cheered. They said, "Good job, Lily! You are amazing! You are a great slider!" + +Lily was happy. She hugged Tom and mom. She said, "Thank you, Tom, for explaining how to slide. Thank you, mom, for being here. I love you both. You are the best!" + +They all smiled and hugged. They had a wonderful day at the park. They slid and played and had fun. They felt the power of love and courage. They were glad to be together. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were lions, hunting and roaring in the grass. They made a big den with some sticks and leaves, and hid inside. + +"Let's go explore the landscape!" Max said. He was enthusiastic and curious. He wanted to see what else was in the yard. + +"Okay, but be careful. There might be other animals out there," Lily said. She was cautious and smart. She wanted to stay safe. + +They crawled out of their den and looked around. They saw some flowers, some rocks, some bugs, and some birds. They chased and pounced on them, making loud roars. + +"Roar! I got you, little bug!" Max said. + +"Roar! I got you, pretty bird!" Lily said. + +They had a lot of fun, until they heard a bigger roar. It was their mom, calling them for lunch. + +"Roar! Time to eat, little lions!" Mom said. + +"Roar! We're coming, big lion!" Max and Lily said. + +They ran to the house, happy and hungry. They loved playing lions, and they loved their mom. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a red box in the park. They open the box and see a message inside. The message says: "Will you marry me?" + +Lily and Ben look at each other and laugh. They think it is a funny joke. They pretend to be a bride and a groom. They put on the red box as a hat and a ring. They hold hands and say: "I do!" + +A man and a woman see them from a bench. They are surprised and happy. They run to them and hug them. They say: "We are so glad you found our box! We lost it yesterday. We were going to propose to each other with it. You are so cute!" + +Lily and Ben are confused. They do not know what propose means. They give them back the box and the message. They say: "Sorry, we thought it was a game. We are not really going to marry. We are just friends." + +The man and the woman smile and say: "That's okay. You can still be friends. And maybe one day, when you are older, you will find someone you want to marry. And then you can use a red box too. Or any color you like." + +Lily and Ben nod and say: "Thank you. And congratulations. We hope you are happy." + +They wave goodbye and go back to play. They forget about the red box and the message. They are happy to be friends. +Lily liked to study books. She liked to learn new things and see pictures of animals and places. She had many books in her room, but her favorite was the one about stars and planets. She wanted to be an astronaut when she grew up. + +One night, her mom told her that there was a special event in the sky. She said that a big star would go in front of the moon and make it dark. She said it was called an eclipse and it was very rare and beautiful. She asked Lily if she wanted to see it with her. + +Lily was very excited. She put on her warm coat and hat and followed her mom outside. They went to the backyard and looked up at the sky. The moon was bright and round, but then a dark shadow started to cover it. Lily watched in awe as the moon turned red and then black. She saw some stars twinkling around it. + +"Wow, mom, this is brilliant!" Lily said. "It looks like a big eye in the sky!" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Yes, it is brilliant, Lily. And you are brilliant too, for studying so much about the stars and planets. Maybe one day you will see them up close." + +Lily hugged her mom back and wished on a star. She hoped that her dream would come true. She loved to study books, but she loved to see the real things more. +Anna likes to learn new letters. She has a book with many letters and pictures. She points to a letter and asks her mom, "What is this?" + +Her mom looks at the book and says, "That is a T. T is for tree. See the green tree next to the letter?" + +Anna nods and smiles. She likes trees. She points to another letter and asks, "What is this?" + +Her mom says, "That is an I. I is for ice cream. Do you like ice cream?" + +Anna claps and says, "Yes, I like ice cream. Can we have some?" + +Her mom laughs and says, "Maybe later. Let's finish the book first." + +Anna agrees and points to another letter. She says, "This is a thin letter. What is this?" + +Her mom says, "That is an L. L is for lion. Hear the lion roar in the book?" + +Anna presses a button and hears a loud roar. She jumps and says, "Wow, that is scary!" + +Her mom hugs her and says, "Don't worry, it's just a sound. Lions are far away. You are safe with me." + +Anna feels better and says, "I like letters. They are fun." + +Her mom says, "I'm glad you like letters. They help you read and write. You are a smart girl." + +Anna hugs her mom and says, "I love you, mom." + +Her mom says, "I love you too, Anna." +Lily likes to wear her mother's clothes. She thinks they are pretty and soft. She puts on her mother's dress and shoes and hat. She looks in the mirror and smiles. She feels like a big girl. + +But the dress is too long and the shoes are too big. Lily trips and falls. She hurts her knee and cries. She wants her mother to hug her and make it better. + +Her mother hears her cry and comes to her room. She sees Lily on the floor with her clothes. She is not angry. She is kind and gentle. She picks up Lily and kisses her knee. She tells her she is strong and brave. + +She helps Lily take off her clothes and put on her own. She says Lily can wear her clothes when she grows up. She says Lily is beautiful and smart and special. She says she loves her very much. + +Lily hugs her mother and says she loves her too. She feels happy and safe. She thinks her mother is the best. She wants to be like her when she grows up. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make roads and bridges with sticks and stones. They also had a big box that they used as a garage. One day, they found a strange bottle in the garage. It had a label that said "Shrink Juice". + +"What is this?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it makes things small," Lily said. + +"Let's try it. Maybe we can make our cars smaller and have more space in the garage," Tom said. + +He opened the bottle and poured some juice on one of his cars. The car shrank to the size of a pea. + +"Wow! It works!" Tom said. + +"Can I try?" Lily asked. + +"Sure. Here you go," Tom said and gave her the bottle. + +Lily poured some juice on her car. It also shrank to the size of a pea. + +"This is fun. Let's shrink more things," Lily said. + +They shrank some more cars, some flowers, some bugs and some rocks. They made a tiny maze with the rocks and put the cars and the bugs inside. They watched them race and crawl. + +"Look, my car is faster than your bug," Tom said. + +"No, it's not. My bug is smarter than your car," Lily said. + +They laughed and cheered for their toys. + +But then, something bad happened. The bottle tipped over and spilled some juice on Tom and Lily. They shrank to the size of peas too. + +"Help! We are small!" Tom shouted. + +"Help! We are in the maze!" Lily shouted. + +They tried to find a way out, but the rocks were too big and the bugs were too scary. They were lost and scared. + +"Tom, I don't like this. I want to be big again," Lily said. + +"Me too, Lily. Me too," Tom said. + +They hugged each other and hoped that someone would find them and make them big again. + +They heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She came to the garden and saw the bottle and the maze. + +"What is this mess?" she asked. + +She picked up the bottle and read the label. + +"Shrink Juice? Oh no. Where are Tom and Lily?" she asked. + +She looked around and saw two tiny voices coming from the maze. + +"Mom! Mom! We are here! We are small!" Tom and Lily cried. + +She saw them and gasped. + +"Oh, my babies! What have you done?" she asked. + +She quickly poured some water on them and they grew back to their normal size. + +"Mom! You saved us!" Tom and Lily said. + +They ran to her and hugged her. + +"I'm so glad you are okay. But you should never play with things you don't know. They can be dangerous," she said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. We were curious. We won't do it again," Tom and Lily said. + +They apologized and helped her clean up the mess. They threw away the bottle and the shrank toys. They decided to play with their normal cars and their normal bugs instead. They learned their lesson and never touched the shrink juice again. +Mia and Leo were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish, crabs and shells. They also saw a big boat with people on it. + +"Look, mom, a boat!" Mia said, pointing to the boat. + +"Yes, dear, that's a boat. They are going fishing," mom said. + +"Can we go fishing too?" Leo asked. + +"Maybe another day, honey. We don't have a boat or a fishing rod," dad said. + +Mia and Leo nodded. They went back to their sandcastle. They used a bucket and a shovel to make it. They decorated it with shells and seaweed. They were very proud of their sandcastle. It was beautiful. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud scream from the boat. They looked up and saw a big shark jumping out of the water. It had sharp teeth and a fin. It tried to bite the boat and the people. + +"Wow, a shark!" Leo said, scared and excited. + +"Shh, Leo, don't shout. The shark might hear us," Mia said, squeezing his hand. + +"Are they okay, mom?" Mia asked, looking at mom. + +"I hope so, dear. The shark is very dangerous. It can hurt the people and the boat," mom said, holding them close. + +"Can we help them, dad?" Leo asked, looking at dad. + +"I don't think so, son. The shark is too big and too fast. We have to stay here and be safe," dad said, watching the boat. + +They saw the people on the boat throwing things at the shark. They heard a loud bang. They saw the shark swim away. They saw the boat turn around and come back to the shore. + +"Yay, they made it!" Mia said, clapping her hands. + +"They are very brave!" Leo said, cheering. + +They saw the people get off the boat. They had cuts and bruises, but they were smiling. They thanked the people who helped them. They saw Mia and Leo and their mom and dad. They waved at them. + +"Hi, kids, you have a beautiful sandcastle!" one of them said. + +"Thank you!" Mia and Leo said, smiling. + +They were happy that the people were safe. They were happy that the shark was gone. They were happy that they had a beautiful sandcastle. They hugged their mom and dad. They had a fun day at the beach. +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They had a lot of bricks to build with. They made a house, a tower, a bridge and a wall. They were very proud of their work. + +But then they heard a loud meow. They looked around and saw a cat. The cat was black and white and had green eyes. The cat was gazing at their bricks. The cat looked hungry and curious. + +Lily and Tom liked the cat. They wanted to be friends with it. They said hello and waved. The cat came closer and sniffed their bricks. The cat liked the smell of the bricks. The cat started to paw at them and knock them down. + +Lily and Tom were not happy. They did not want the cat to ruin their bricks. They said no and shooed. The cat did not listen. The cat kept playing with their bricks. The cat made a mess of their work. + +Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They decided to make a plan. They got some cheese and bread from the kitchen. They put them in a basket. They took the basket to the yard. They showed the cat the cheese and bread. The cat stopped gazing at their bricks. The cat gazed at the cheese and bread. The cat was very hungry and wanted to eat. + +Lily and Tom smiled and nodded. They threw the cheese and bread over the fence. The cat ran after them. The cat jumped over the fence and followed the cheese and bread. The cat was gone. + +Lily and Tom were happy and relieved. They fixed their bricks and continued to play. They hoped the cat would find a good home and some nice people. They also hoped the cat would not come back to their yard. They loved their bricks too much. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was happy when she painted. + +Tom was Lily's brother. He was lazy. He did not like to paint. He liked to watch TV and play games. He was bored when Lily painted. + +One day, Lily was painting a big picture on the wall. She wanted to show it to Mom and Dad. She used red and blue and yellow and green. She made a rainbow and a sun and a bird. + +Tom saw Lily painting. He was angry. He wanted to watch TV, but Lily was too loud. He said, "Stop painting, Lily! You are making a mess! I want to watch TV!" + +Lily said, "No, Tom! I like painting! It is fun! You can watch TV later. Let me finish my picture!" + +Tom did not listen. He grabbed Lily's brush and threw it away. He took her paint and spilled it on the floor. He tore her picture from the wall. He said, "There! Now you can't paint anymore!" + +Lily was sad. She cried. She felt pain in her heart. She said, "Tom, you are mean! You ruined my picture! You made me sad! Why did you do that?" + +Tom did not care. He laughed. He said, "Because I can! You are silly! Painting is stupid! TV is better!" + +Mom and Dad came home. They saw the mess. They saw Lily crying. They saw Tom laughing. They were angry. They said, "Tom, what did you do? You are in big trouble! You hurt Lily and you wasted the paint! You have to clean up and say sorry! You can't watch TV for a week!" + +Tom was shocked. He did not like that. He said, "No, Mom and Dad! That is not fair! Lily started it! She was painting on the wall! She was annoying me!" + +Mom and Dad did not believe him. They said, "Tom, you are lying! Lily was painting nicely. You were lazy and rude. You have to learn to be nice and share. You have to respect Lily and her painting. You have to say sorry and hug her!" + +Tom did not want to do that. He said, "No, Mom and Dad! I don't want to say sorry! I don't want to hug her! I don't like her! I don't like painting!" + +Mom and Dad were sad. They said, "Tom, you are making us sad. You are making Lily sad. You are making yourself sad. You have to change your attitude. You have to be a good brother. You have to try painting. You might like it. It might make you happy." + +Tom did not listen. He said, "No, Mom and Dad! I don't want to change! I don't want to be a good brother! I don't want to try painting! I don't want to be happy! I want to watch TV!" + +Mom and Dad shook their heads. They said, "Tom, you are being stubborn. You are being selfish. You are being foolish. You are missing out on a lot of fun and love. You are making a bad choice. You are making a bad ending." + +Tom did not care. He said, "No, Mom and Dad! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care!" + +The end. +Sara likes to write. She writes with her crayons on paper. She writes her name, and her mom's name, and her dog's name. She writes big and small and many colors. + +One day, Sara wants to write a surprise for her mom. She sees a cookie on the table. It is a big cookie, with chocolate chips. Sara thinks, "Mom likes cookies. I will write on the cookie for mom." + +She takes a crayon and writes on the cookie. She writes "I love you, Mom". She is very proud of her writing. She puts the cookie back on the plate and waits for mom to come home. + +When mom comes home, she sees the cookie on the plate. She smiles and says, "Oh, what a nice cookie! Who made this for me?" Sara runs to mom and says, "I did, I did! I write on the cookie for you!" + +Mom hugs Sara and says, "Thank you, Sara, you are very sweet. But you know, crayons are not for writing on cookies. They are for writing on paper. Crayons make the cookie smelly and yucky. We cannot eat the cookie now." + +Sara feels sad. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to make you happy. I didn't know crayons make the cookie smelly and yucky." + +Mom says, "It's okay, Sara. I know you meant well. You can still make me happy by writing me a nice card with your crayons. And we can bake some new cookies together. How does that sound?" + +Sara says, "That sounds good, Mom. I love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Sara." +Lily and Max were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked at the screen, but it was not fun. It only showed pictures of people talking. + +"Let's play outside," Lily said. "It is sunny and warm." + +"OK," Max agreed. "But what can we play?" + +They went to the backyard. They saw a ball, a bike, a slide and a swing. They decided to play with the ball. + +"I will pass the ball to you, and you catch it," Lily said. "Then you pass it back to me." + +They threw and caught the ball for a while. They had fun. They laughed and cheered. + +Then Lily had an idea. She was adventurous. She wanted to try something new. + +"Let's pass the ball over the slide," she said. "It will be more fun." + +Max was not sure. He thought it was too hard. He was afraid of losing the ball. + +"Are you sure?" he asked. "What if we miss?" + +"We can try," Lily said. "It will be fun. Come on, don't be scared." + +She threw the ball over the slide. Max ran to the other side. He jumped and caught the ball. He was happy. He passed the ball back to Lily. She caught it too. + +They did it again and again. They passed the ball over the slide. They had more fun. They laughed and cheered louder. + +They were adventurous. They played with the ball and the slide. They forgot about the screen. They were not bored anymore. +Anna loved to sing. She sang every day, in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang with her toys, with her mom, and with her dad. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. She sang along with the radio, which played beautiful music. + +One day, Anna heard a voice on the radio that said, "Do you like to sing? Do you want to join our singing contest?

Let's call the radio and see if they answer. What song do you want to sing?" + +Anna thought for a moment and said, "I want to sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. It's my favorite song. It makes me happy." + +Her mom nodded and said, "That's a lovely song, Anna. Let's dial the number and see if they pick up." + +They dialed the number and waited. After a few rings, they heard a voice on the other end. + +"Hello, this is the radio. Who is this?" + +Anna's mom said, "Hello, this is Anna's mom. Anna wants to join your singing contest. She is three years old and she loves to sing." + +The voice said, "Wow, that's wonderful. We are happy to have Anna join our contest. What song does she want to sing?" + +Anna's mom said, "She wants to sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Can she sing for you now?" + +The voice said, "Sure, we would love to hear her sing. Go ahead, Anna. Sing your song." + +Anna took a deep breath and started to sing. She sang with all her heart, with a clear and sweet voice. She sang every word and every note. She sang to the radio, to her mom, and to the stars. + +The voice on the radio said, "Wow, Anna, that was beautiful. You have a very nice voice. You are a star. Thank you for singing for us. You are in the contest. We will call you back soon and tell you if you win. Good luck, Anna." + +Anna was very happy. She thanked the voice and hung up. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, I did it.

A big cloud appeared in the sky. It was dark and gray. It made a loud noise. It was thunder. Then, rain started to fall. It was heavy and wet. It made the car go slow. + +"Oh no," Dad said. "It looks like a storm. We have to be careful." + +Sara and Tom were scared. They did not like thunder and rain. They wanted to see the sun and the lake. They hugged their toys and closed their eyes. + +"Will the storm go away?" Tom asked. + +"I hope so, sweetie," Mom said. "But don't worry. We will still have a good vacation. We can play games, read books, and watch movies in the cabin. And maybe the sun will come out tomorrow." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They trusted Mom and Dad. They knew they would take care of them. They were still happy. But they were also tired. They yawned and fell asleep in the car. They dreamed of the lake and the sun. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. Today, they have a quiz at school. The quiz is about colors and shapes. Lily and Ben are anxious. They want to do well on the quiz. + +Before the quiz, Lily and Ben sit together. They share their crayons and draw pictures. They help each other remember the colors and shapes. Lily says, "This is a red circle. This is a blue square. This is a yellow triangle."

They also brought a ball, a kite and a teddy bear. + +When they got to the park, they found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread a blanket on the grass and put the basket on it. Mom and Dad said they could play for a while before eating. Tom and Lily ran to the field with the ball and the kite. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom saw a pond with some ducks. He wanted to feed them some bread. He took a sandwich from the basket and ran to the pond. He did not ask Mom and Dad. He did not tell Lily. He just ran. + +Lily saw Tom running away. She was angry. She wanted to play with him. She also wanted to eat the sandwich. She took the teddy bear from the basket and ran after him. She did not ask Mom and Dad. She did not tell them.

They will be worried." + +Tom and Lily held hands and walked back to the blanket. They saw Mom and Dad looking for them. They were scared. They said, "We're sorry, Mom and Dad. We're sorry, picnic.

We still have more sandwiches. We still have cookies and juice. Let's eat and be cheerful." +Anna likes to walk with her dog, Spot. Spot is big and brown and has a long tail. He likes to sniff and chase things. Anna holds a leash to keep Spot near her. + +One day, Anna and Spot walk to the park. There are many flowers and trees and birds. Anna sees a brush on the ground.

She runs and runs and runs. She feels dizzy. She falls down on the grass. She drops the brush. + +Spot sees Anna fall down. He stops running. He feels sorry for Anna. He runs back to her. He licks her face. He wags his tail. He picks up the brush with his mouth. He gives it to Anna. + +Anna smiles. She hugs Spot. She says, "Thank you, Spot. You are a good dog. I love you." She does not want to brush Spot's fur anymore. She just wants to play with him. They walk back home together. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today the weather is bad. It is cold and wet. Lily and Ben are sad. + +Lily has an idea. She says, "Let's use our coats and boots. We can play in the rain." Ben says, "No, I don't want to.

She felt sad and scared. She wanted to go home. + +She walked in the hall with her teacher. The teacher was nice. She smiled at Anna and said, "Don't worry, Anna. You will make friends soon. Everyone is friendly here." + +Anna saw a boy and a girl playing with blocks. They looked happy. The teacher said, "This is Tom and Lily. They are in your class. Do you want to play with them?" + +Anna nodded. She liked blocks. She walked to Tom and Lily. She said, "Hello. I am Anna. I am new." + +Tom and Lily looked at Anna. They smiled.

They had fun watching their boats go fast and slow and turn. + +One day, Tom's boat got stuck on a rock. Tom tried to reach it, but the water was too deep. He was sad and angry. He said to Sam, "Give me your boat! I want to sail it!" + +Sam was surprised and hurt. He said, "No, Tom, this is my boat. I made it with my glue. You can't take it!" + +Tom was very mad. He grabbed Sam's boat and threw it in the water. The boat broke into pieces. Sam cried and said, "Why did you do that, Tom? That was not nice!" + +Tom felt bad. He saw that he had hurt his friend and ruined his boat. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was selfish and mean. I should have asked you nicely or helped you get your boat. Can you forgive me?" + +Sam was still sad, but he was also kind. He said, "I forgive you, Tom. But you have to be more careful and helpful next time. Friends share and help each other, not fight and break things." + +Tom nodded and hugged Sam. He said, "You are right, Sam. You are a good friend. I will be more helpful and share with you. Can we make a new boat together?" + +Sam smiled and said, "Yes, Tom, we can. Let's go get some more paper and sticks and glue. And let's sail our boats together on the pond." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that friends should share and help each other, not be selfish and mean. It also shows that saying sorry and forgiving are important when someone makes a mistake. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new toy car. It is red and shiny. It can speed very fast. + +"Wow, look at that car!" Lily says. "Can we play with it?" + +"Sure, let's ask the boy who has it," Ben says. They run to the boy. He is sitting on a bench. He has a cactus in a pot next to him. The cactus has green spikes and a pink flower. + +"Hi, we like your car. Can we play with it?" Lily asks. + +"Hi, my name is Sam. This is my car. And this is my cactus. His name is Spike. He is cute, but don't touch him. He can hurt you," Sam says. + +"Can we play with your car, please?" Ben asks. + +"Okay, but be careful. It can speed very fast. And don't crash it into anything," Sam says. He gives them the car and the remote control. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They take turns to drive the car. They make it speed on the grass, on the path, and around the trees. They have fun. + +But then, Lily drives the car too fast. She loses control. The car speeds towards the bench. It hits the pot. The pot falls. The cactus falls. Spike lands on Sam's lap. + +"Ouch!" Sam cries. "Spike, you hurt me!" + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They run to Sam. They help him pick up the pot and the cactus. They say sorry to him. + +"It's okay, I'm not mad. But please be more careful next time. Spike is cute, but he is also prickly," Sam says. + +"Okay, we will. We're sorry, Sam. And we're sorry, Spike," Lily and Ben say. + +They give Sam back his car and his remote control. They hug him and Spike. They are still friends. They play together in the park. They are careful with the car and the cactus. They have fun. +Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks. Ben and Lily liked to feed the ducks with bread. Mom gave them some bread and said, "Be careful, don't go too close to the water." + +Ben and Lily threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came to eat the bread. They made quack quack sounds. Ben and Lily laughed. They saw a big duck with a green head. It was the leader of the ducks. It wanted more bread. + +The big duck came closer and closer to Ben and Lily. It opened its mouth and snapped at them. Ben and Lily were scared. They ran away from the big duck. They dropped the bread. They cried, "Mom, help!" + +Mom heard them and came to them. She saw the big duck chasing them. She said, "Don't panic, it's just a duck. It won't hurt you. It's hungry, that's all." She picked up Ben and Lily and hugged them. She gave them some more bread and said, "Let's feed the duck from a safe distance. It will be happy and leave us alone." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They calmed down. They threw some bread to the big duck from far away. The big duck ate the bread and quacked. It stopped chasing them. It went back to the pond with the other ducks. Ben and Lily smiled. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We're sorry, big duck. We're friends now." Mom smiled too. She said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm proud of you. You learned to be brave and kind."

Lily loves to read. She puts many books in her luggage. + +"Are you ready, kids?" Mom asks. "We have to go to the airport soon." + +"Yes, Mom!" Lily and Ben say. They carry their luggage to the car. + +At the airport, they check in their luggage and get their tickets. They have to wait for their plane. Lily is bored. She wants to read a book. + +"Can I have my luggage, Mom?" she asks. "I want to read a book." + +"Sorry, Lily, you can't," Mom says. "Your luggage is on the plane already. You can read a book on the plane." + +Lily is sad. She looks around. She sees a big sign with words and pictures. She tries to read it. + +"What does it say, Lily?" Ben asks. + +Lily points to the sign. "It says...silly...banana...hat," she says. + +Ben laughs. "No, it doesn't, Lily. That's not a sign. That's a poster for a circus. It says...funny...monkey...show." + +Lily looks again. She sees a monkey wearing a banana hat. She laughs too. "You're right, Ben. That's a funny monkey. He has a silly hat." + +Mom and Dad smile.

One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and growling. It looked dangerous. + +"Let's go away from the dog," Mia said. "It might bite us." + +But Ben was not afraid. He wanted to pet the dog. He said, "The dog is not bad. It is just lonely. I will set it free from the leash." + +He ran towards the dog. Mia followed him. She was scared. She shouted, "Ben, stop! The dog is a threat!" + +The dog saw Ben and Mia. It was angry. It snapped at them. Ben and Mia screamed. They turned around and ran back to the swings. + +A man came running after the dog. He was the dog's owner. He caught the dog and put it back on the leash. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. My dog is not friendly. He doesn't like strangers. You should never set a dog free without asking first. It is dangerous." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They learned their lesson. They said, "We're sorry, too. We won't do it again." + +They went back to playing in the park. They stayed away from the dog. They had fun. +Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They like to swing on the big swings. They go very high and feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and shout. + +One day, they see a new path in the park. They are curious and want to explore. They follow the path and see a big cliff. The cliff is very high and has many rocks. They see birds and flowers on the cliff. + +"Wow, look at the cliff!" Tom says. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Sue says. "Can we go closer and see the birds?" + +Tom nods and they walk to the edge of the cliff. They are careful and hold hands. They see a blue bird on a rock. It sings a nice song. + +"Hello, bird!" Sue says. "You have a nice voice!" + +The bird looks at them and flaps its wings. It flies away and joins other birds in the sky. + +"Bye, bird!" Tom says. "Have fun!" + +They watch the birds fly and hear their songs. They are happy and smile. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a big dog. The dog is angry and barks.

They hug each other and cry. + +The dog comes closer and closer. It jumps and tries to bite them. + +But then, they see a man. The man is alert and sees the dog. He runs to the dog and grabs its collar. He pulls the dog away and says "No! Bad dog! Go away!" + +The dog whines and runs away. The man comes to Tom and Sue and says "Are you OK? I'm sorry, that is my dog. He escaped from his leash. He is not mean, he is just playful. But he should not chase you on the cliff. That is dangerous." + +Tom and Sue are relieved and say "Thank you, mister. You saved us. We are OK. But we are scared of your dog." + +The man says "I'm sorry, he scared you. He is a good dog, but he needs to learn. Come, I will take you back to the park. Where are your parents?" + +Tom and Sue say "They are on the bench. They are reading books. They don't know we went to the cliff." + +The man says "Well, you should not go to the cliff without them. It is not safe. You could fall and hurt yourself. You should always stay with your parents or ask them first. OK?" + +Tom and Sue nod and say "OK. We are sorry. We were curious. We won't do it again." + +The man says "That's good. Come on, let's go. And don't worry, I will keep my dog on the leash. He won't bother you anymore." + +The man takes Tom and Sue back to the park. They see their parents and run to them. They hug them and tell them what happened. Their parents are shocked and angry. They scold them and say "You should never go to the cliff! That is very dangerous! You could have been hurt or worse! You should always listen to us and stay in the park! Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sue say "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We won't do it again. We love you." + +Their parents say "We love you too. But you have to be careful and smart. The park is fun, but the cliff is not. OK?" + +Tom and Sue say "OK. Can we still swing on the swings?" + +Their parents say "Yes, you can. But only on the swings. And stay with us. OK?" + +Tom and Sue say "OK. Thank you." + +They go to the swings and swing again. They are happy and smile. They are safe and have learned a lesson. They will never go to the cliff again. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they go to Sue's house. Sue's mom gives them some cookies on a plate. + +"Thank you, mom!" Sue says. She takes the plate and goes to the living room with Tom. + +They sit on the floor and eat the cookies. They are yummy and sweet. Tom and Sue are happy. + +When they finish the cookies, they look at the plate. It is round and blue. It has a picture of a fish on it. + +"Look, Tom, a fish!" Sue says. She points at the plate. + +"Wow, a fish!" Tom says. He likes the plate. He wants to play with it. + +"Can I have the plate, Sue?" Tom asks. He reaches for the plate. + +"No, Tom, you can't have the plate," Sue says. She pulls the plate away. "The plate is mine. It belongs to me. Mom gave it to me." + +"But I like the plate, Sue," Tom says. He feels sad. "The plate is fun. We can pretend it is a boat or a hat." + +"No, Tom, the plate is not fun. The plate is useful. We can eat on it. We can't play with it. It is not a toy," Sue says. She is angry. "You have your own toys. Go play with them." + +Tom and Sue start to fight. They shout and cry. They are not friends anymore. + +Sue's mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees Tom and Sue fighting over the plate. + +"What is going on here?" Sue's mom asks. She is surprised and upset. + +"Mom, Tom wants my plate. He can't have it. It belongs to me," Sue says. + +"Mom, Sue won't let me play with the plate. She is mean. I like the plate," Tom says. + +Sue's mom sighs. She takes the plate from Sue and puts it on the table. She sits down with Tom and Sue. + +"Listen, Tom and Sue, you are both wrong. The plate is not yours or mine. The plate is ours. We share it. We can use it for eating or for playing. It is a nice plate. It has a fish on it. Do you like fish?" Sue's mom says. + +Tom and Sue nod. They like fish. + +"Good. Then why don't you play a game with the plate? You can take turns pretending it is a fish. You can make fish sounds and swim with it.

He remembers a brave man who did something good a long time ago. He does not need ice cream or popsicle. He needs respect and admiration.

Then, they both carefully opened their paint cans and started to paint. They made beautiful red patterns on the wall. When they were done, the brothers hugged each other happily.

They were happy because everything was okay with the lawyer. Lily was happy too because she got to visit her grandma. They all hugged and said goodbye. Lily couldn't wait to visit her grandma again. The end. +Lila was a pupil in a big school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. But she was not happy with her clothes. She had old and torn clothes that her mom gave her. She wanted to have new and pretty clothes like some of the other pupils. + +One day, she saw a rich girl named Mia. Mia had a lot of clothes and toys. She always wore shiny dresses and shoes. She had a big doll that could talk and sing. Lila wanted to have a doll like that. She went to Mia and said, "Hi, Mia. I like your doll. Can I play with it?" + +Mia looked at Lila and said, "No, you can't. This is my doll. You have nothing to play with. You have ugly clothes and no toys. Go away, you are poor and dirty." + +Lila felt sad and angry. She ran away and cried. She wished she could sell her old clothes and buy a new doll. She thought Mia was mean and rude. + +The next day, Lila saw a boy named Ben. Ben had no clothes and no toys. He lived on the street and had no mom or dad. He was cold and hungry. He saw Lila and said, "Hi, Lila. I like your clothes. Can I have them?" + +Lila looked at Ben and said, "Yes, you can. These are my clothes. You have nothing to wear. You have no home and no food. Here, take my clothes. They will keep you warm and cozy." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lila. You are very kind and generous. You have a big heart and a good soul. You are my friend." + +Lila felt happy and proud. She gave Ben her old clothes and hugged him. She did not need a new doll. She had a new friend. She thought Ben was sweet and nice. + +The moral of the story is: You don't need to have a lot of things to be happy. You need to have a lot of love and kindness. You should not judge people by their looks or their money. You should judge them by their actions and their words. +It was a rainy day and Anna wanted to go outside and play. She put on her boots and coat and took her umbrella. She saw her friend Ben across the street. He was holding a big cardboard box. + +"Hi, Ben! What do you have in your box?" Anna asked. + +"Hi, Anna! I have a surprise for you. Come and see!" Ben said. + +Anna ran across the street and looked inside the box. She saw a puppet made of socks and buttons. It had a funny face and a red hat. + +"Wow, Ben! That is a great puppet! Did you make it?" Anna said. + +"Yes, I did. His name is Bobo. He can talk and sing and dance. Do you want to see a show?" Ben said. + +"Yes, please!" Anna said. + +Ben took out Bobo and put him on his hand. He made a funny voice and moved Bobo around. He made Bobo say hello to Anna and tell jokes. He made Bobo sing a song and dance on the box. Anna laughed and clapped her hands. She liked the show very much. + +"Bravo, Ben! Bravo, Bobo! That was a wonderful show!" Anna said. + +"Thank you, Anna! Thank you for being my friend!" Ben said. + +They hugged and smiled. They were very happy. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was Ben's big brother, Tom. He was coming home from school. He saw Ben and Anna and the puppet show. He was very angry. + +"Hey, Ben! What are you doing with that stupid puppet? That is so babyish! You should be ashamed of yourself!" Tom said. + +He grabbed the box and threw it in the trash. He took Bobo and ripped him apart. He threw the pieces on the ground. He laughed and walked away. + +Ben and Anna were very sad. They looked at the broken puppet and the empty box. They felt like crying. + +"Ben, I'm so sorry. Tom is very mean. He should be ashamed of himself!" Anna said. + +"It's okay, Anna. Don't be sad. Bobo was just a puppet. He was not real. But you are real. You are my friend. And you liked my show. That makes me happy." Ben said. + +He took Anna's hand and gave her a smile. He took her umbrella and opened it. He put it over their heads. + +"Come on, Anna. Let's go and play. The rain is fun. We can splash and jump and make rainbows. We can make our own show. And we can applaud each other. Because we are friends." Ben said. + +Anna nodded and smiled. She squeezed Ben's hand and followed him. They ran and played and had fun. They forgot about Tom and Bobo. They were not ashamed. They were proud. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were very hot. They wanted to play outside, but the sun was too bright and the air was too sticky. They went inside their house and looked for something fun to do. + +"Let's play with the fan!" Lily said. She liked to feel the wind on her face and hair. She turned on the fan and ran in front of it. "Whee!" + +Ben followed her and smiled. He also liked the fan. He grabbed a paper and held it near the fan. The paper flew away and made a noise. "Wow!" + +They played with the fan for a while, until they got thirsty. They went to the kitchen and looked for something to drink. They saw a pitcher of lemonade on the counter. + +"Let's have some lemonade!" Ben said. He poured two cups and gave one to Lily. They drank the lemonade and made a face. "Yuck!" + +The lemonade was very sour. It made their tongues hurt and their eyes water. They did not like the lemonade at all. + +"Who made this lemonade?" Lily asked. She put down her cup and wiped her mouth. + +"Mama did," Ben said. He also put down his cup and looked for water. "She said it was good for us." + +Lily and Ben did not think the lemonade was good for them. They thought it was bad for them. They wanted something sweet and cold. + +"Let's suggest to Mama to make some ice cream!" Lily said. She had an idea. "Maybe she will listen to us and make some ice cream for us." + +Ben liked the idea. He nodded and smiled. "Yes, let's suggest to Mama to make some ice cream!" + +They ran to find Mama and tell her their suggestion. They hoped she would say yes and make some ice cream for them. They did not want any more sour lemonade. They wanted some sweet ice cream. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. They see big drops of water falling from the sky. They hear a loud noise. It is thunder. + +"Let's go inside, Tom," Mia says. "It is wet and scary out here." + +"No, Mia," Tom says. "I like the rain. It is fun and cool. I want to stay and play." + +Tom runs to the garden. He jumps in a puddle. He splashes water with his feet. He laughs. He feels a spring in his step. + +Mia follows him. She does not want to be alone. She jumps in a puddle too. She splashes water with her hands. She tries to smile. But she feels a sour taste in her mouth. + +"Tom, look!" Mia says. "There is a shower over there. It is shiny and pretty. It has many colors. It is a rainbow." + +Tom looks up. He sees the rainbow. He gasps. He thinks it is beautiful. He forgets about the rain. He runs to the shower. He wants to touch it. + +"Wait, Tom!" Mia says. "You can't touch the shower. It is too far. It is not real. It is a trick of the light." + +But Tom does not listen. He runs faster. He thinks he can reach the shower. He thinks he can catch the colors. + +He runs and runs. He does not see the fence. He does not see the rose bush. He does not see the thorns. + +He runs into the fence. He falls into the rose bush. He feels the thorns. They prick his skin. They make him bleed. They hurt him. + +He cries. He screams. He wants to go back. He wants to go inside. + +Mia hears him. She runs to him. She sees him. She feels sorry for him. She hugs him. She helps him. + +"Tom, Tom," Mia says. "Are you okay? I'm sorry. I told you not to go. I told you it was a bad idea." + +Tom sniffles. He nods. He is not okay. He is wet and scared and hurt. He is sorry too. He made a mistake. He was silly. + +"Mia, Mia," Tom says. "Thank you. You are a good sister. You are smart and kind. You are right. The rain is not fun. The shower is not real. The rainbow is a trick." + +Mia smiles. She kisses him. She is a good sister. She is smart and kind. She is happy. She loves him. + +"Come on, Tom," Mia says. "Let's go inside. Mom will make us warm and dry. She will give us a band-aid and a hug. She will make us some soup. It will be sweet and yummy. It will make us feel better." + +Tom agrees. He holds her hand. They go inside. They leave the rain and the shower and the rainbow behind. They are happy. They are twins. They are friends. +Tom and Lily like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big train. The train has many cars and can make noise. Tom and Lily pretend to be the drivers of the train and order the cars to go fast or slow, stop or go. + +One Wednesday, they have a new idea. They want to order pizza for lunch. They ask their mom if they can do that. Their mom says yes, but they have to help her. Tom and Lily are happy and run to the phone. They pick up the phone and say hello. + +The pizza man is on the other side. He is funny. He asks them what they want on their pizza. Tom and Lily say cheese and pepperoni and olives and pineapple and chocolate and candy. The pizza man laughs and says that is a lot of things. He asks them how many pizzas they want. Tom and Lily say one big pizza. The pizza man says okay and tells them the price and the time. + +Tom and Lily hang up the phone and tell their mom what they ordered. Their mom is surprised and says that is a very strange pizza. She says they have to pay the pizza man when he comes. Tom and Lily say okay and go back to their train. They play until they hear the doorbell. + +The pizza man is here. He has a big box with their pizza. He gives it to their mom and takes the money. He says bye and leaves. Tom and Lily open the box and see their pizza. It looks funny. It has cheese and pepperoni and olives and pineapple and chocolate and candy. They smell it and taste it. It is weird. They do not like it very much. They make faces and say yuck. + +Their mom smiles and says that is what happens when you order a funny pizza. She says she has some sandwiches and fruit for them if they want. Tom and Lily say yes and throw away their pizza. They eat their sandwiches and fruit and drink some juice. They say they are sorry for ordering a funny pizza. Their mom says it is okay and hugs them. She says they can order pizza again, but next time they should choose better things. Tom and Lily agree and say they love their mom. They finish their lunch and go back to their train. They have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big red calendar on the wall of the house. It had many numbers and pictures on it. + +"What is that?" Lily asked Tom. + +"That is a calendar," Tom said. "It tells us what day it is and what season it is. See, this picture is spring. Spring is when the flowers grow and the birds sing." + +Lily nodded. She liked spring. She saw a butterfly flying near a rose. She ran to catch it. Tom followed her. + +They reached the rose bush and saw something on the ground. It was a bird. It was not moving or singing. It had blood on its feathers. + +"What is that?" Lily asked Tom. + +"That is a bird," Tom said. "But it is not a happy bird. It is a dead bird. Dead means it is not alive anymore. Something hurt it and it stopped breathing." + +Lily felt sad. She liked birds. She wondered why the bird was dead. + +"Can we help it?" Lily asked Tom. + +"No, we can't," Tom said. "When something is dead, it can't come back to life. We can only say goodbye and bury it." + +Lily and Tom dug a hole in the ground. They put the bird in the hole and covered it with dirt. They found some stones and made a cross. They said a prayer for the bird. + +"Goodbye, bird," Lily said. "We are sorry you are dead. We hope you are happy in heaven." + +"Goodbye, bird," Tom said. "We will remember you. You were a beautiful bird." + +They hugged each other and went back to play. They saw the butterfly again. It was flying near the calendar. It landed on the picture of spring. + +"Look, Tom," Lily said. "The butterfly is saying hello to the bird. It is telling it that spring is here and that life goes on." + +Tom smiled. He agreed with Lily. He felt a little better. + +"Yes, Lily," Tom said. "Spring is here and life goes on. And we are here to enjoy it." +Tom was a restless boy who liked to question everything. He always asked his mom and dad why the sky was blue, why the grass was green, why the sun was hot, and so on. Sometimes they had answers, sometimes they did not. + +One day, Tom found a big book in his dad's study. It had many strange words and pictures on it. Tom was curious and opened the book. He saw a word that looked like this: A-B-R-A-C-A-D-A-B-R-A. He wondered what it meant. + +He ran to his mom and showed her the book. "Mom, what is this word?" he asked. + +Mom looked at the book and smiled. "That is a spell, Tom. It is a word that some people use to do magic. But you have to be careful with spells. They can be good or bad." + +Tom was amazed. He wanted to do magic. He asked his mom, "Can I say the spell, Mom? Can I do magic?" + +Mom shook her head. "No, Tom. You are too young to say spells. You don't know what they can do. Maybe they can make things disappear, or change, or fly. Maybe they can make you happy, or sad, or scared. You have to be very careful with spells. They are not for playing." + +Tom was disappointed. He wanted to try the spell. He thought his mom was just being mean. He decided to wait until his mom was busy and then say the spell. He thought it would be fun. + +He hid the book under his bed and waited for his mom to go to the kitchen. When she did, he took the book and ran to the backyard. He looked around and saw a big tree. He thought it would be cool to make the tree fly. He opened the book and found the spell. He said it out loud: "A-B-R-A-C-A-D-A-B-R-A!" + +Suddenly, the tree shook and lifted off the ground. Tom was shocked and happy. He had done magic! He laughed and clapped his hands. He said the spell again and again, making the tree go higher and higher. + +But then, something went wrong. The tree stopped flying and started falling. It was falling fast and hard. It was falling towards Tom. Tom was scared and sorry. He had done a bad spell. He wanted to stop it. He tried to say the spell backwards, but he could not remember it. He screamed for his mom. + +Mom heard Tom's scream and ran to the backyard. She saw the tree falling and Tom in danger. She was scared and angry. She grabbed Tom and pulled him away from the tree. The tree crashed to the ground, making a loud noise and a big mess. + +Mom hugged Tom and checked if he was hurt. He was not, but he was crying. He was sorry for what he had done. He told his mom he had said the spell and made the tree fly and fall. He said he was sorry and he would never say spells again. + +Mom was relieved and glad that Tom was safe. She was also sad and mad that Tom had disobeyed her and used the book. She told Tom he had been very naughty and foolish. She told him he had to go to his room and think about what he had done. She told him he had to give back the book and never touch it again. + +Tom nodded and said he was sorry. He gave back the book and went to his room. He felt bad and scared. He wished he had listened to his mom. He learned that spells were not for playing. He learned that questioning everything was not always good. He learned that being restless could get him in trouble. He decided to be a good boy from now on. He decided to be more careful with words. He decided to be more happy with what he had. He decided to be more thankful for his mom. He decided to say a different word: "I love you, Mom." +Lily liked to play outside with her toys. She had a ball, a doll, a car and a spider. The spider was not real, it was a toy too. It was black and red and had eight legs. Lily liked to make it crawl on the grass and on the trees. + +One day, it started to rain. Lily ran inside with her toys, but she forgot the spider. The spider was left on the grass, getting wet and cold. Lily did not see it, she was busy playing with her other toys in her room. + +The rain stopped after a while, and the sun came out. Lily wanted to go outside again, but she remembered the spider. She ran to the door and looked for it. She saw it on the grass, but it looked different. It was not black and red anymore, it was green and yellow. And it had no legs, it had wings. + +Lily was scared. She thought the rain had changed her spider into a bug. She did not like bugs, they were icky and scary. She did not want to play with the spider anymore, she wanted to throw it away. + +But then, she heard a buzz. The spider flew up and landed on her nose. It tickled her and made her giggle. Lily looked at it and saw that it was not a bug, it was a butterfly. A beautiful butterfly, with green and yellow wings. It was not her spider, it was a new friend. + +Lily was happy. She realized that the rain had not changed her spider, it had helped it grow. Her spider had been a baby butterfly all along, and now it was ready to fly. Lily thanked the rain and the spider, and gave them a hug. She asked the butterfly to stay with her and play. The butterfly nodded and smiled. It liked Lily, she was kind and fun. + +They played together for a long time, until it was time for lunch. Lily's mom called her and told her to come inside. She had made soup for her, with carrots and potatoes and chicken. Lily liked soup, it was warm and yummy. She took the butterfly with her and put it on her shoulder. She hoped it liked soup too. + +But when she tasted the soup, she made a face. It was not yummy, it was spicy. It burned her tongue and made her cough. She did not like spicy food, it was hot and bad. She pushed the bowl away and said no. + +Her mom looked at her and smiled. She said she was sorry, she had put some pepper in the soup. She thought Lily would like it, but she was wrong. She said she would make her another soup, with no pepper and no spice. She asked Lily to wait a minute and went to the kitchen. + +Lily was glad. She did not want to eat the spicy soup, she wanted to eat the yummy soup. She looked at the butterfly and asked it if it liked spicy food. The butterfly shook its head and said no. It liked sweet food, like flowers and fruits. It said it would fly outside and find some, and come back later. + +Lily said okay and waved goodbye. She watched the butterfly fly away, and felt happy. She had a new friend, a beautiful butterfly. She wondered what other surprises the rain had brought. She decided to go outside again, after she ate the yummy soup. She wanted to see what else she could find. Maybe another spider, or a frog, or a rainbow. She liked the rain, it was fun and good. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked like fun. They ran to the slide and waited for their turn. + +Ben went first. He climbed up the steps and sat on the slide. He noticed something shiny on the ground. He leaned over and picked it up. It was a gold ring! He put it in his pocket and slid down. + +Lily went next. She climbed up the steps and sat on the slide. She noticed something shiny on the ground too. She leaned over and tried to grab it. But she lost her balance and fell off the slide. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +Ben heard his sister cry and ran to her. He saw her knee was bleeding and felt sorry for her. He took out the gold ring and gave it to her. He said, "Here, this is for you. It will make you feel better." + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She thanked her brother and hugged him. She put the gold ring on her finger and said, "It's beautiful. You are very kind." + +Their mom saw them and came over. She saw the gold ring and asked, "Where did you get that?" + +Ben and Lily told her the truth. They said, "We found it on the slide. We don't know who it belongs to." + +Their mom was proud of them. She said, "You are very obedient and honest. But we can't keep the ring. It might belong to someone who lost it and is looking for it. We have to give it back." + +Ben and Lily agreed. They followed their mom to the park office and gave the ring to the park manager. He thanked them and said, "You are very good children. You did the right thing. I will try to find the owner of the ring. And as a reward, you can have a free ice cream each." + +Ben and Lily were happy. They enjoyed their ice cream and played some more in the park. They learned that it is better to share and be honest than to keep something that is not yours. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and make things with paper and glue. Mommy says they can wrap some gifts for their friends. She gives them some paper with different patterns on it. Sara likes the paper with stars and Ben likes the paper with stripes. + +Sara is very organized. She cuts the paper neatly and folds it around the gifts. She uses tape and ribbons to make them look nice. She puts them in a pile on the table. Ben is not very organized. He tears the paper and wraps it around the gifts. He uses too much tape and no ribbons. He throws them on the floor. + +"Ben, you are making a mess!" Sara says. "Your gifts look ugly. You have to do it like me." + +"No, I don't!" Ben says. "I like my gifts. They are fun. You are boring. You have to do it like me." + +They start to argue and pull each other's hair. Mommy hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the paper and the gifts and the twins. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Mommy says. "What are you doing? You are supposed to be nice to each other and to your friends. Why are you fighting?" + +"Sara is bossy!" Ben says. "She tells me how to wrap my gifts. I don't like her paper. It has too many stars." + +"Ben is messy!" Sara says. "He ruins my paper. He doesn't care about his gifts. I don't like his paper. It has too many stripes." + +Mommy sighs. She hugs them and says, "Sara and Ben, you are both good at wrapping gifts. You have different styles and that is okay. Your friends will like your gifts because they are from you. You don't have to do everything the same. You can have different patterns and still be twins. But you have to be kind and respectful to each other. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry for fighting. They nod and say, "Yes, Mommy. We can do that." + +Mommy smiles and says, "Good. Now, let's clean up this mess and put the gifts in a basket. Then we can go and give them to your friends. And maybe we can find some paper with stars and stripes for next time." +Lily and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play in their big chamber. Their chamber has many toys and books and a big bed. Sometimes they pretend to be pirates or princesses or animals. + +One day, they pretend to be lions. They roar and jump and chase each other. They have fun. But they also get hungry. They smell something good from the kitchen. It is lunch time. + +They run to the kitchen and see their mom. She has made soup and bread and salad. She smiles and says, "Hello, my little lions. Are you ready to eat?" + +Lily and Tom nod and sit at the table. They eat the soup and bread and salad. They like the food. It is warm and tasty and healthy. It makes them strong and happy. + +Mom says, "You ate very well, my little lions. You are good eaters. Now you can go back to your chamber and play some more. But don't forget to brush your teeth later." + +Lily and Tom say, "Thank you, mom. We love you." They hug their mom and run back to their chamber. They continue to play and have fun. They are happy lions. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys and watch cartoons on the screen. But sometimes they disagree about what to do. + +One day, Tom wants to play with cars and trucks. He says, "Let's make a big road and have a race." Anna says, "No, I want to play with dolls and tea sets. Let's have a tea party." Tom says, "That's boring. Cars and trucks are more fun." Anna says, "No, they are not. Dolls and tea sets are more fun." + +They argue and argue. They do not share their toys. They do not listen to each other. They are both bossy. + +Then, their mom comes in. She sees them fighting. She says, "What's going on here? Why are you not playing nicely?" Tom and Anna both say, "He/she started it. He/she is bossy. He/she does not let me play what I want." + +Their mom says, "That's not how friends behave. Friends respect each other's choices. Friends take turns. Friends have fun together. Why don't you try to find something you both like to do?" + +Tom and Anna think for a moment. They look at their toys and the screen. They remember that they both like to watch cartoons. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, friend. Can we watch cartoons together?" Their mom says, "Yes, you can. But only for a little while. Then you have to play with your toys again. And remember to be kind and share." + +Tom and Anna hug and say, "OK, mom. OK, friend. We will be kind and share." They sit on the couch and watch cartoons. They laugh and smile. They are friends again. +Lily liked to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the ducks and the swans in the pond. She liked to feed them bread and watch them swim. But she also liked to chase them and make them fly away. She thought it was fun to see them flap their wings and quack and honk. + +One day, she saw a big white swan with a long neck and a black beak. It was very pretty and shiny. Lily wanted to touch it and pet it. She ran towards it with her hand out. But the swan did not like that. It hissed and bit her finger. It hurt a lot and made her cry. + +Mom came and took Lily away from the swan. She put a band-aid on her finger and hugged her. She said, "Lily, you should not chase the swans. They are wild animals and they do not like to be bothered. They can be very mean and hurt you. You have to be gentle and respectful with them." + +Lily nodded and said she was sorry. She looked at the swan and felt bad. She wished she had not run after it. She wished she had just fed it bread and watched it swim. She regretted what she had done. She learned her lesson and never chased the swans again. +Tom was very tired. He had played all day with his toys and his friends. He did not want to go to bed, but his mom said it was time. She gave him a hug and a kiss and tucked him in. She turned on his night light and said, "Good night, Tom. Sleep well." + +Tom closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but he could not. He heard noises outside his window. He heard cars and dogs and people. He opened his eyes and looked at his alarm. It was a red clock with numbers and a bell. His mom had given it to him for his birthday. She said it would help him wake up in the morning. Tom liked his alarm, but he did not like the noise. + +He yawned and rubbed his eyes. He wished the noise would stop. He wanted to sleep and dream of fun things. He thought of his toys and his friends and his mom. He smiled and yawned again. He felt sleepy and warm. + +Then he heard a new noise. It was a loud roar. It sounded like a big animal. Tom was scared. He sat up and looked out his window. He saw a big shadow on the street. It was a lion. A real lion. Tom had never seen a lion before. He had only seen pictures in his books. He knew lions were rare. They lived far away in a place called Africa. How did a lion come to his street? + +Tom wanted to scream, but he was too afraid. He hid under his blanket and hoped the lion would go away. He heard the lion roar again and again. He heard people scream and run. He heard sirens and horns. He heard his alarm ring. He was so confused and scared. + +Then he heard his mom's voice. She came into his room and turned on the light. She looked at him and smiled. She said, "Good morning, Tom. Time to wake up. It's a new day." + +Tom blinked and looked at her. He looked at his alarm. He looked out his window. He saw no lion. He saw no shadow. He saw no noise. He saw only the sun and the sky and the trees. He realized it was all a dream. A bad dream. He felt silly and relieved. + +He hugged his mom and said, "Mom, I had a bad dream. I dreamed there was a lion on our street. It was so scary." + +His mom hugged him back and said, "Oh, Tom, I'm sorry. That must have been a terrible dream. But don't worry, there are no lions here. Only in Africa. And in your books. And in your imagination. You are safe and sound. And you know what? Today is a special day. We are going to the zoo. And guess what? You can see a real lion there. But not a scary one. A nice one. Behind a fence. And you can learn more about lions and other animals. How does that sound?" + +Tom smiled and said, "That sounds great, Mom. I love the zoo. And I love you. And I love lions. But only the nice ones. And only behind a fence." + +His mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom. And I love lions too. But only the nice ones. And only behind a fence. Now, let's get ready. We have a big day ahead of us." + +Tom jumped out of bed and got dressed. He forgot about his bad dream. He was excited about his zoo trip. He was happy and curious. He was ready for a new adventure. +Ben and Lily were twins who lived on a large farm with their mom and dad. They liked to help with the animals and the plants, but they also liked to play and explore. One day, they saw a big red truck parked near the barn. It had a sign that said "Fresh Apples". + +"Look, Lily, apples!" Ben said. "Let's go and get some." + +"Okay, Ben, but we have to ask mom and dad first," Lily said. She was a good sister who followed the rules. + +They ran to the house and found their mom in the kitchen. "Mom, mom, can we have some apples from the truck?" Ben asked. + +"Please, mom, please," Lily added. + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, you can have some apples, but only one each. And be careful not to bother the truck driver. He is very busy." + +"Thank you, mom, thank you," Ben and Lily said. They hugged their mom and ran back to the truck. + +They saw a man with a hat and a beard loading boxes of apples into the truck. He looked friendly and strong. + +"Hello, sir, can we have an apple, please?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, kids, you can have an apple, but only one each. And be careful not to touch anything else. This is my truck and I have to deliver these apples to the market," the man said. + +"Thank you, sir, thank you," Ben and Lily said. They picked an apple each from a box and bit into them. They were juicy and sweet. + +They sat on the grass and enjoyed their apples. They watched the man finish his work and drive away. They waved goodbye and said, "Bye, sir, bye." + +They went back to the house and told their mom and dad about their adventure. They were happy and full. They loved living on the large farm. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pie on a table. It smells good. It has apples and sugar on it. + +"Wow, look at that pie!" Lily says. "Do you think we can have some?" + +Ben nods. "Maybe. But we have to ask first. It is not nice to take things that are not ours." + +They walk to the table. They see a lady with a hat. She is smiling. She is the one who made the pie. + +"Hello, children," the lady says. "Do you like my pie?" + +"Yes, we do," Lily and Ben say. "It looks yummy." + +The lady laughs. "Thank you. I made it for a picnic. But I have too much. Would you like a slice?" + +Lily and Ben are happy. They nod. "Yes, please. Thank you. You are very kind." + +The lady cuts two slices of pie. She gives them to Lily and Ben. They say thank you again. They sit on the grass. They eat the pie. It is sweet and warm. + +"This is the best pie ever," Lily says. + +"I agree," Ben says. "We are lucky to meet such a kind lady." + +They finish the pie. They wipe their mouths. They go back to the table. They thank the lady one more time. They hug her. They say goodbye. + +They run to the swings. They play some more. They are happy. They are full. They are friends. They like to discuss things. They like pie. They like kind people. +Lily and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Lily found a big shell that was shiny and smooth. She opened it and saw a small oyster inside. She was happy and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I found an oyster!" she said. + +"Wow, can I see?" Ben asked. + +Lily gave him the shell and he looked at the oyster. He thought it was pretty and wanted to keep it. He put the shell in his pocket and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back!" Lily shouted. She ran after him and tried to get the shell. Ben was faster and dodged her. He laughed and said, "No, it's mine now!" + +Lily was angry and sad. She wanted her oyster back. She started to cry and called for her mom and dad. + +Mom and dad heard Lily and saw what was happening. They came over and asked what was wrong. + +"Ben took my oyster and won't give it back!" Lily sobbed. + +"Ben, is that true?" mom asked. + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, but I like it. It's mine!" + +Mom and dad looked at each other and sighed. They knew they had to teach Ben to share and be nice. They told Ben to give the shell back to Lily and say sorry. They also told Lily to let Ben look at the oyster and thank him. They said that sharing and being kind made everyone happy. + +Ben and Lily listened to their mom and dad. Ben gave the shell back to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily took the shell and said, "Thank you, Ben. I'm sorry, too. I was greedy. Yes, we can still be friends." + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to look for more shells together and share them. They also waved at the oyster and said, "Bye, oyster. Thank you for being so pretty." + +The oyster waved back with its shell and said, "You're welcome. I'm happy you found me. Have fun, kids." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big rose bush with many pink roses. Lily wanted to pick one for her mom. + +"Can I pick a rose, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but be careful. The roses have thorns. They can hurt you," Ben said. + +Lily reached for a rose. She saw something shiny inside. It was a fairy! The fairy was very small and had wings. She was wet from the rain. + +"Hello, little girl. You found me," the fairy said. + +"Wow, a fairy! You are so pretty. Why are you wet?" Lily asked. + +"I was flying in the sky, but then it rained. I had to hide in the rose. It was cozy, but wet. Can you help me dry off?" the fairy asked. + +"Sure, I can help you. Come with me. I have a towel in the house," Lily said. + +She gently picked the fairy and put her in her hand. She ran to the house with Ben. They dried the fairy with the towel. The fairy thanked them and gave them a hug. + +"I have to go now. But I will come back and visit you. You are very kind and brave," the fairy said. + +She flew out of the window and waved goodbye. Lily and Ben waved back. They were very happy. They had a new friend. A fairy friend. +Lily and Ben are going to the park with Mom. They are very happy. They like to play on the swings and the slide. Mom tells them to get their gear. Gear is what they need to have fun. Lily gets her hat and her ball. Ben gets his bike and his helmet. + +"Are you ready?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom!" Lily and Ben say. + +They go outside and walk to the park. It is a sunny day. They see many birds and flowers. They also see some dogs and cats. Lily and Ben love animals. + +"Look, Mom, a big dog!" Ben says. + +"Be careful, Ben. Don't go too close. The dog might be crazy," Mom says. + +"What is crazy, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Crazy is when someone or something does not act normal. They might be angry or scared or silly. They might do things that are not safe or nice," Mom explains. + +"Oh, I see. Like when Tom the cat chased the mouse and knocked over the lamp. He was crazy," Lily says. + +"Yes, like that. Tom was crazy. But he is a good cat. He just likes to play," Mom says. + +They reach the park and see many kids and parents. They find a spot to put their gear. Lily and Ben run to the swings and the slide. They have a lot of fun. They take turns and share. They make new friends. They laugh and smile. + +Mom watches them and smiles too. She is proud of them. They are good kids. They remind her of herself when she was little. She also liked to play on the swings and the slide. She also liked to have fun. She also loved animals. She also had a big dog. His name was Rex. He was not crazy. He was very gentle and loyal. He was her best friend. + +Mom misses Rex. He is in heaven now. She hopes he is happy. She hopes he has a lot of gear to play with. She hopes he has a lot of friends. She hopes he remembers her. She remembers him. She loves him. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play golf in the park. They have a small golf bag and a red ball. They take turns to hit the ball with a stick. + +One day, they see a tall man in the park. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He is holding a big golf bag and a green ball. He looks angry. + +"Hey, kids, stop playing golf here!" the tall man shouts. "This is not a golf course. You are making a mess. Go away!" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They do not want to make the tall man more angry. They pick up their golf bag and their red ball. They run away from the tall man. + +"Sorry, mister, we did not know," Tom says. + +"Where can we play golf then?" Sam asks. + +The tall man points to a sign. The sign says: "No golf in the park. Go to the golf club." + +Tom and Sam look at the sign. They do not know what a golf club is. They think it is another stick. They shrug and walk away. + +They find another place to play golf. They have fun. They do not see the tall man again. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big hill with a flag on top. They want to go there and see the flag. + +"Let's go to the flag, Tom!" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily. But we need to be careful. The hill is steep and the flag is high." Tom says. + +They start to climb the hill. They hold hands and help each other. They see rocks and flowers and bugs on the way. They also see a weird bird with a long beak and a red crest. It makes a loud noise. + +"Wow, look at that bird, Lily! It is weird and pretty!" Tom says. + +"I like the bird, Tom! It is funny and noisy!" Lily says. + +They keep climbing. They are almost at the flag. They are happy and excited. They want to touch the flag and wave it. + +They reach the top of the hill. They see the flag. It is big and colorful. It has stripes and stars and a moon. It is beautiful. + +"Yay, we made it, Tom! We are at the flag!" Lily says. + +"Hooray, Lily! We are at the flag!" Tom says. + +They touch the flag and wave it. They feel proud and happy. They smile and hug. + +They look at the park and the sky and the bird. They see their mom and dad waving at them. They wave back. + +They have fun at the flag. They are glad they climbed the hill. They are good friends. They love the flag. +Lily liked to spin. She spun with her arms out, like a bird. She spun with her dress, like a flower. She spun with her toys, like a top. Spinning made her happy and dizzy. + +One day, she found a pen on the table. It was shiny and blue. She wanted to spin it, too. She picked it up and twirled it in her fingers. But the pen was not a good toy. It had ink inside. The ink came out and made a big mess. It stained Lily's dress, her hands, and the table. It even splashed on the wall. + +Lily was troubled. She did not like the ink. She did not want to make a mess. She did not want to get in trouble. She tried to wipe the ink with a napkin, but it only made it worse. She started to cry. + +Mom heard Lily cry. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the ink and the mess. She was not happy. She asked Lily what she did. Lily told her she was spinning the pen. She said she was sorry. She said she did not know the pen had ink. + +Mom hugged Lily. She said it was okay. She said she was not mad. She said she loved Lily. She said they would clean the mess together. She said Lily should not spin pens, but she could spin other things. She gave Lily a paper plate and a crayon. She said Lily could draw and spin the plate. Lily smiled. She liked the plate. She drew a sun and a heart. She spun the plate. It made her happy and dizzy. Mom smiled, too. She was happy to see Lily happy. She spun with Lily. They had fun. +Tom is a fat cat who likes to sleep all day. He does not like to work or play with his friends. He only wants to eat and nap on the sofa. + +One day, his owner Sam takes him to the vet. The vet is a nice lady who helps sick animals. She looks at Tom and says, "Tom, you are too fat. You need to work out and eat less. Your lungs are not happy. They need more air and exercise." + +Tom does not like what the vet says. He thinks, "Work out? Eat less? No, thank you. I like my life. I do not want to change." He meows loudly and tries to run away. + +But Sam holds him and says, "Tom, the vet is right. You need to work on your health. I love you and I want you to be happy and strong. Come on, let's go home and start a new plan." + +Sam takes Tom home and gives him a smaller bowl of food. He also buys him a new toy, a ball with a bell inside. He says, "Tom, this is your new friend. You can play with it and chase it. It will make you work and have fun." + +Tom looks at the ball and thinks, "This is not a friend. This is a nuisance. It makes noise and moves too fast. I do not want to play with it. I want to sleep on the sofa." He ignores the ball and walks away. + +But the ball follows him and rings in his ears. It bounces and rolls and tries to get his attention. It says, "Tom, Tom, come and play with me. I am your friend. I will make you work and happy." + +Tom gets annoyed and hisses at the ball. He says, "Go away, ball. You are not my friend. You are a bother. You make me work and unhappy." + +But the ball does not go away. It keeps on ringing and bouncing and rolling. It says, "Tom, Tom, please give me a chance. I am your friend. I will make you work and healthy." + +Tom gets curious and looks at the ball. He sees that it is shiny and colorful. He hears that it is cheerful and friendly. He feels that it is soft and bouncy. He thinks, "Maybe the ball is not so bad. Maybe it is a little bit fun. Maybe I can play with it for a while." + +Tom taps the ball with his paw and makes it ring. He likes the sound. He pushes the ball with his nose and makes it roll. He likes the movement. He jumps on the ball with his feet and makes it bounce. He likes the feeling. + +Tom plays with the ball and works out. He breathes more air and exercises his lungs. He eats less food and loses some weight. He feels more happy and strong. + +Sam sees Tom and smiles. He says, "Tom, you are doing great. You are working on your health. I am proud of you and I love you. You and the ball are good friends." + +Tom looks at Sam and purrs. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are the best owner. You and the vet are right. I need to work on my health. I love you and the ball. We are good friends." +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Lily found a jar of jam and opened it. She wanted to spread some jam on a slice of bread. + +"Look, Ben, I have jam!" she said. "Do you want some?" + +Ben nodded and took another slice of bread. He watched as Lily used a knife to spread the jam. But she used too much and the jam dripped from the bread. It made a mess on the table and the floor. + +"Oh no, the jam is leaking!" Lily said. "We have to clean it up!" + +Ben agreed. He looked for a cloth to wipe the jam. He saw a white towel hanging on the oven. He did not know that it was a modern oven that was still hot. He reached for the towel and burned his hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "The oven is hot!" + +Lily heard Ben and ran to him. She saw his hand was red and sore. She felt sorry for him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, are you okay?" she asked. + +Ben shook his head. He was in pain and scared. He wanted his mom. + +"Mom, mom, help!" he shouted. + +Mom heard Ben and Lily and came to the kitchen. She saw the jam, the towel and the oven. She understood what happened. She took Ben and Lily to the sink and ran cold water over Ben's hand. She hugged them and said. + +"Don't worry, Ben, it will be okay. You have a small burn, but it will heal soon. And Lily, you have to be careful with the jam and the knife. They can make a big leak and a big cut. And you both have to stay away from the oven. It is a modern oven, but it is very hot and dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for the mess and the burn. They said sorry to mom and thanked her for helping them. Mom smiled and said. + +"It's okay, I love you both. But next time, ask me before you play in the kitchen. And let me make you some real food. How about some toast with jam?" +Jill and Sam were very happy. They were going to a fancy hotel with Mom and Dad. They had never seen such a big and pretty place. There were many rooms, many people, and many things to do. + +One day, they went to the pool with Mom. They saw a man with a hat and a wand. He said he was a magician. He asked if they wanted to see a trick. Jill and Sam nodded. They liked tricks. + +The magician took out a red ball. He said, "Watch this ball. I will make it vanish." He waved his wand and said some funny words. Then he opened his hand. The ball was gone. Jill and Sam clapped. They were amazed. + +"Where did it go?" Jill asked. + +"Can you find it?" Sam asked. + +The magician smiled. He said, "It is a secret. But maybe you can find it if you look around. Maybe it is in the pool, or in a flower, or in a cake. You never know." + +Jill and Sam thanked the magician. They ran to look for the ball. They looked in the pool, but they did not see it. They looked in the flowers, but they did not smell it. They looked in the cakes, but they did not taste it. + +They were sad. They wanted to see the ball again. They went back to the magician. But he was not there. He had vanished too. + +"Where did he go?" Jill asked. + +"Can we find him?" Sam asked. + +Mom hugged them. She said, "He was a very good magician. He made you wonder and laugh. But he had to go. Maybe he is in another hotel, or in a train, or in a plane. You never know." + +Jill and Sam smiled. They were not sad anymore. They had fun. They learned a new word. Vanish. They liked the fancy hotel. They hoped to see the magician again. Maybe. You never know. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a big truck with many boxes. The truck is near a shop. Tim has an idea. + +"Let's steal some boxes!" he says to Jen. "Maybe they have toys inside!" + +Jen is scared. She knows stealing is bad. But Tim says it is fun. He takes a box and runs. Jen follows him. They hide behind a tree. + +They open the box. It is heavy. It has a weight inside. The weight is shiny and unique. It has numbers and letters on it. Tim and Jen do not know what it is. They think it is a toy. + +They try to lift the weight. It is too heavy. They drop it on their feet. It hurts a lot. They cry and scream. The shop owner hears them. He comes out and sees them. He is angry. + +"Hey, you stole my weight!" he shouts. "That is not a toy! That is for measuring things! You are in big trouble!" + +He calls the police. The police come and take Tim and Jen away. They are very sorry. They wish they did not steal. They learn a hard lesson. Stealing is bad. +One cold day, Anna and Ben wanted to play outside. They put on their coats, hats, and boots. They saw snow on the ground and in the trees. They decided to make a snowman. + +They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them up. They found a carrot, a scarf, and some buttons for the snowman's face and clothes. They gave him a name: Bob. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Let's go on an adventure, Bob!" Anna said. She took Bob's hand and pulled him along. Ben followed them. They walked to the park, where they saw a big hill. "Let's slide down the hill, Bob!" Anna said. She sat on Bob's lap and pushed off. Ben did the same. + +They slid down the hill very fast. They felt the wind in their faces and the snow under them. They laughed and shouted. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Bob's head fell off. Anna and Ben stopped sliding. They looked at Bob. He had no head. They felt very sad. They had broken their snowman. + +They ran back to Bob's head. They tried to put it back on, but it was too heavy. They didn't know what to do. They started to cry. + +"Hey, kids, what's wrong?" a voice said. They looked up and saw their mom. She had come to the park to find them. She saw Bob and his head. She understood what had happened. + +She hugged Anna and Ben and said, "Don't cry, my loves. You can make another snowman. But you have to be careful. You can't take a snowman on an adventure. He will melt or fall apart. He is not like you. He is made of snow. You are made of flesh and bones. You can do many things, but he can't." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They felt a little better. They said sorry to Bob and thanked him for the fun. They left him in the park and went home with their mom. + +At home, their mom made them some hot cocoa. She poured it in their mugs and added some marshmallows. She said, "You are very adventurous, Anna and Ben. I'm proud of you. You like to try new things and have fun. But you also have to be wise. You have to know what is possible and what is not. You have to respect the things you play with and take care of them. That way, you will enjoy them more and longer." + +Anna and Ben sipped their cocoa and listened to their mom. They agreed with her. They learned a lesson that day. They decided to be adventurous and wise. They smiled and hugged their mom. They felt warm and cozy. They loved their mom and their cocoa. +Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play with trucks and dolls. One day, they go to the farm with Mom and Dad. They see cows, pigs, chickens and horses. They also see a big mill. The mill makes flour from wheat. + +"Can we go inside the mill?" Ben asks Mom. + +"No, it is too busy and noisy. The mill workers are loading the flour into bags and trucks. It is not safe for children," Mom says. + +But Ben and Jen are curious. They wait until Mom and Dad are busy talking to the farmer. Then they sneak into the mill. They see big machines and belts and wheels. They see piles of flour and bags and trucks. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Jen says. She picks up a handful of flour and throws it at Ben. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben says. He throws some flour back at Jen. + +They start a flour fight. They laugh and giggle. They do not see the mill worker who is coming to load the truck. He does not see them either. He pushes a big button. The truck starts to move. The truck has a big hole in the back. The hole is for the flour. + +Ben and Jen are too close to the hole. They fall into the truck. They scream and cry. The flour covers them. They cannot breathe. They cannot get out. The truck drives away. Mom and Dad do not hear them. They do not know where they are. Ben and Jen are gone. The end. +Sara loves to cook with her mom. They make cakes and pies and soup and salad. Sara likes to smell the perfume that mom puts on her neck. It is sweet and flowery. + +One day, mom says, "Sara, we have a special guest for dinner. It is your dad's boss. He is very important and we want to make him happy. Can you help me cook something nice?" + +Sara nods and smiles. She wants to help mom. She thinks dad's boss will like her perfume too. + +They go to the kitchen and start to cook. Mom tells Sara to chop some carrots and potatoes. Sara uses a small knife and is very careful. She does not want to cut herself. + +Mom puts some chicken and spices in a big pot. She says, "This is a special dish from dad's country. It is called curry. It is spicy and yummy. Do you want to try some?" + +Sara says, "Yes, please." She takes a small spoon and tastes the curry. It is hot and makes her tongue tingle. She likes it, but she drinks some water too. + +Mom says, "Good girl. Now, let's make some rice and salad. Then we will be ready." + +They finish cooking and set the table. Sara puts some flowers and candles on the table. She thinks it looks pretty. + +Mom says, "You did a great job, Sara. Thank you for helping me. Now, let's go and get ready. We have to look nice too." + +They go to the bathroom and wash their hands and faces. Mom puts on a blue dress and some earrings. She sprays some perfume on her neck and wrists. Sara puts on a pink dress and a necklace. She asks mom, "Can I have some perfume too?" + +Mom says, "Of course, sweetie. Here, let me spray some on you." She sprays some perfume on Sara's neck and hair. Sara smells it and giggles. She says, "We smell the same. We smell good." + +Mom says, "Yes, we do. We smell like flowers. Come on, let's go and wait for dad and his boss. They should be here soon." + +They go to the living room and sit on the couch. Sara feels nervous. She wonders what dad's boss will be like. Will he be nice? Will he like their food? Will he like her perfume? + +She holds mom's hand and says, "Mom, I'm nervous. What if dad's boss doesn't like us?" + +Mom says, "Don't worry, Sara. Dad's boss is a nice man. He likes dad and he will like us too. He will love our food and our perfume. He will see how smart and cute you are. You have nothing to be nervous about. Just be yourself and smile." + +Sara says, "Okay, mom. I will try. I love you, mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Sara. You are my best helper and my best friend." + +They hug and smile. They hear the doorbell ring. They get up and go to the door. They open it and see dad and his boss. They say, "Hello, welcome to our home." +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. One sunny day, they went to the park with their mom. Mom gave them each a pair of sunglasses to protect their eyes from the sun. Lily liked her sunglasses. They were pink and sparkly. Max did not like his sunglasses. They were blue and boring. + +Max started to complain. He said his sunglasses were too tight and too dark. He said he wanted to trade with Lily. Lily said no. She said her sunglasses were just right and she did not want to give them up. Max got angry and tried to grab Lily's sunglasses. Lily got angry too and pushed Max away. + +Mom saw them fighting and came over. She told them to stop and to share. She said sunglasses were not worth fighting over. She said they should be flexible and try to see things from each other's point of view. She asked Max to try on Lily's sunglasses and Lily to try on Max's sunglasses. Max and Lily did what Mom said. They put on each other's sunglasses and looked around. + +Max saw that Lily's sunglasses were not so bad. They made everything look pink and pretty. He said they were fun and he liked them. Lily saw that Max's sunglasses were not so boring. They made everything look blue and cool. She said they were nice and she liked them. They both smiled and said they were sorry for fighting. They decided to trade sunglasses for the day and to play nicely. Mom was happy and gave them a hug. She said they were good twins and she loved them. They all went to play on the swings and had a fun day at the park. +Lily had a sister named Rose. Lily loved Rose very much, but sometimes she was not nice to her. Lily liked to play with her toys, but she did not like to share them with Rose. She would say, "These are mine, go away!" and make Rose cry. + +One day, Lily and Rose went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. Lily ran to the slide and climbed up. She saw a girl at the top, holding a doll. The girl had a dress and a hat like Lily's. Lily thought the girl was pretty and wanted to be her friend. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. Can I play with your doll?" she asked. + +The girl smiled and said, "Sure, I'm Anna. Here, you can hold her. She's very soft and nice." + +Lily took the doll and hugged her. She felt happy. She said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. Do you want to slide with me?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, let's go. But first, can I ask you something?" + +Lily said, "What is it?" + +Anna said, "Do you have a sister?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. Her name is Rose. She's over there, by the swing." + +Anna looked and saw Rose. She said, "She looks like you. She's very pretty too. Do you play with her?" + +Lily felt ashamed. She remembered how she was not nice to Rose. She said, "Not really. I don't like to share my toys with her. I make her cry sometimes." + +Anna said, "That's not good. You should be nice to your sister. She loves you and needs you. You should share your toys with her and make her happy. She's your family. She's a gift." + +Lily thought about what Anna said. She realized she was wrong. She said, "You're right, Anna. I'm sorry. I will be nice to my sister from now on. I will share my toys with her and make her happy. She's my family. She's a gift." + +Anna said, "That's good, Lily. I'm glad you understand. You know what? I have a secret to tell you." + +Lily said, "What is it?" + +Anna said, "I don't have a sister. I'm an only child. I always wanted a sister, but I never had one. That's why I'm happy to play with you and Rose. You're like sisters to me." + +Lily was surprised. She said, "Really? You don't have a sister? I'm sorry, Anna. That must be hard." + +Anna said, "It's okay. I have my mom and dad, and they love me. And I have friends like you and Rose. You make me happy too." + +Lily said, "You're very brave, Anna. And you're very kind. You provide me with a lesson. You teach me to be nice to my sister and to be grateful for what I have. Thank you, Anna. You're a good friend." + +Anna said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're a good friend too. Come on, let's slide together. And then we can play with Rose too. She can hold the doll if she wants." + +Lily said, "Okay, let's go. And yes, she can hold the doll. I will share it with her. I love her. And I love you too, Anna." + +Anna said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love Rose too. We're like sisters." + +They slid down the slide, laughing and holding hands. They ran to Rose and hugged her. They played with the doll and the swing and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. + +The end. +Lily was an adventurous girl. She liked to explore new places and find new things. One day, she saw a big hill near her house. She wanted to see what was on top of the hill. She put on her shoes and hat and told her mom she was going for a walk. + +She walked and walked until she reached the foot of the hill. She looked up and saw the hill was very high and steep. She was not afraid. She was excited. She started to climb the hill, using her hands and feet. She lifted herself over rocks and roots and grass. She felt strong and happy. + +She climbed and climbed until she reached the top of the hill. She looked around and saw a beautiful view. She saw her house, her street, her park, and many other things. She also saw a big tree with red apples. She loved apples. She walked to the tree and lifted her arms to reach an apple. She picked one and bit into it. It was sweet and juicy. She smiled and sat under the tree. She had a wonderful walk and a delicious snack. She was an adventurous girl. +Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big hill and want to go up. They hold hands and start to climb. + +But the hill is steep and the grass is slippery. Tom loses his balance and falls. He pulls Anna with him and they both roll down the hill. They bump and twist and shout. They feel scared and hurt. + +They stop at the bottom of the hill. They are dirty and have some cuts. They look up and see the park is distant. They cannot see their mom or dad. They feel lost and sad. + +They start to cry and hug each other. They hope someone will find them and help them. They hear a voice and see a dog. It is their dog, Spot. He runs to them and licks their faces. He is happy to see them and wants to play. + +They feel happy and safe. They pet Spot and thank him. He barks and wags his tail.

They had many toys and costumes, because their parents were wealthy and gave them everything they wanted. One day, they decided to play superheroes and villains. Tom wanted to be a superhero, and Lily wanted to be a villain. + +Tom put on a blue suit and a red cape. He also wore a mask that covered his eyes. He said, "I am Super Tom, and I can fly and save people. I am brave and good." Lily put on a black dress and a hat. She also wore a mask that covered her mouth. She said, "I am Evil Lily, and I can make trouble and steal things. I am sneaky and bad." + +They ran around the house, pretending to fight and chase each other. Tom said, "Stop, Evil Lily, or I will catch you and put you in jail." Lily said, "No, Super Tom, you can't catch me. I will take your mask and your cape and your toys." They laughed and had fun. + +But then, their mom came home and saw the mess they made. She was not happy. She said, "Tom and Lily, what are you doing? You have to clean up your toys and costumes. And why are you wearing masks? You know you can't wear masks inside the house. They are for outside only." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing superheroes and villains. We wanted to wear masks to look like them. We didn't mean to make a mess." Their mom said, "I understand, but you have to follow the rules. Masks are for outside, and you have to tidy up after you play. Now, take off your masks and help me clean up." Tom and Lily nodded and did what their mom said. They still liked to play pretend, but they learned to be more careful. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a teddy bear. She loved her teddy bear the most. She called him Peanut, because he was brown and soft. + +One day, Lily was playing with Peanut in the garden. She saw a big red flower and wanted to smell it. She put Peanut down on the grass and went to the flower. She sniffed it and smiled. It smelled nice. + +But when she turned back, she saw a big dog running towards Peanut. The dog had a wet nose and sharp teeth. It wanted to play with Peanut too. Lily was scared. She ran to Peanut and picked him up. But the dog was faster. It jumped and bit Peanut's ear. Peanut made a sad noise. + +Lily was angry. She shouted at the dog. "Bad dog! Go away! Peanut is mine!" She threw a stick at the dog. The dog ran after the stick and left Peanut alone. + +Lily hugged Peanut and rubbed his ear. She said sorry to him. She said he was a good teddy bear and she loved him.

He loved Lily too. +Lily liked to soar in the air. She had a big swing in the backyard. She pushed with her feet and went higher and higher. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She was happy. + +One day, it was very cold outside. Lily could not go on the swing. She was sad. She stayed inside with her mom and dad. They made hot cocoa and read books.

She wondered what it was for. She asked her mom and dad. They said it was a special key. It could open a magic door. They said they would show her when it was dark. + +When it was dark, they took the key and went to the fireplace. They moved a brick and found a small hole. They put the key in the hole and turned it. The fireplace opened. It was a magic door. Lily was surprised. + +They went through the door and found a beautiful garden. It had flowers and trees and birds and butterflies. Lily saw a big swing. She ran to it and climbed on. She pushed with her feet and went higher and higher. She soared in the air.

You can use some of my crayons. But you have to be careful. Don't break them or lose them. They are my favorite crayons." Anna says. She gives Ben some of her crayons. + +"Thank you, Anna.

He said, "You are the best and smartest parrot ever. You acted brave and clever. You saved me from the mean boy. Thank you, my friend." + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, the smallest and quietest ones can be the strongest and wisest ones. And, always be kind to your friends. They will help you when you need them. +Tom likes to make models of cars and planes. He has many boxes of models in his room. He uses glue and paint to put them together. He is very careful and proud of his models. + +One day, Tom is working on a new model of a jet. He is almost ready to paint it. He puts the glue and the paint on his desk and goes to the kitchen to get a snack. He leaves his model on the floor. + +Lily is Tom's little sister. She is three years old. She likes to play with Tom's toys, but he does not let her. She sees Tom's model on the floor. She thinks it is a toy. She picks it up and looks at it. She sees the glue and the paint on the desk. She thinks they are food. She opens the glue and the paint and puts them in her mouth. She chews them. They taste bad. She spits them out. She makes a mess on the floor and on the model. + +Tom comes back from the kitchen. He sees Lily and his model. He is very angry. He shouts at Lily. + +"Hey, what are you doing? That is not a toy!

The ducks come closer and eat the bread. They make quack sounds. + +But one duck is not a duck. It is a crocodile. It has a long mouth with many teeth. It is hiding under the water. It is very hungry. It sees Tom and Lily and their bread. It wants to eat them. + +The crocodile swims fast to Tom and Lily. It jumps out of the water and opens its mouth. It tries to bite Tom. + +"Help, Lily, help!" Tom screams. He drops the bag of bread and runs away. + +Lily is very scared. But she is also very smart. She sees a big stick near the pond. She picks up the stick and hits the crocodile on the head. + +"Go away, crocodile, go away!" Lily shouts. She hits the crocodile again and again. + +The crocodile is hurt and angry. It does not like the stick. It does not like Lily. It turns around and swims away. + +Tom and Lily hug each other. They are safe. They are brave. + +"Thank you, Lily, thank you!" Tom says.

Where should they start? + +"Let's go to that tent over there," dad said, pointing to a tent with a sign that said "Learn to make a balloon animal". "Maybe we can learn how to make a dog, or a cat, or a monkey." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They followed dad to the tent. They saw a man with a big hat and a big smile. He had a bag full of balloons. He was making a balloon animal for a girl. + +"Hello, hello, welcome to the balloon animal tent," the man said. "Do you want to learn how to make a balloon animal?" + +"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. + +"OK, then, pick a balloon from the bag," the man said. "Any color you like." + +Anna picked a pink balloon. Ben picked a blue balloon. + +"Good choice, good choice," the man said. "Now, watch me carefully. I will show you how to make a balloon animal. Then you can try it yourself." + +The man took a yellow balloon and twisted it into a shape of a giraffe. He made a long neck, a small head, four legs, and a tail. He gave it to the girl, who smiled and thanked him. + +"Wow, that's amazing," Anna and Ben said. + +"Now, it's your turn," the man said. "You can make any animal you want.

They thanked the man and left the tent. They looked around for the next adventure. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room.

Ben had a red truck that he liked very much. It was big and strong and made a rumble. + +"Look at my car, Ben!" Lily said. "It can go very fast and beep at everyone. Beep beep!" + +"Look at my truck, Lily!" Ben said. "It can carry a lot of things and rumble over anything. Rumble rumble!" + +They raced their toys on the floor, making noises and laughing. They were having a good time until Lily's car hit Ben's truck. There was a loud crash and Lily's car broke. The silver car had a big dent and a wheel came off. Lily was very sad and started to cry. + +"Look what you did, Ben!" Lily said. "You broke my car! It was my favorite toy! You are mean!" + +"I'm sorry, Lily!" Ben said. "I didn't mean to break your car! It was an accident! Please don't cry!" + +Ben felt bad and wanted to make Lily happy again. He looked around and saw a plate of cookies on the table.

That's a gift for someone else!" + +Sara and Tom were scared. They did not want to give back the bow. They ran faster. But the truck driver was faster. He caught them and took the bow from them. He said, "You are naughty children! You should not take things that are not yours! Go back to your parents and say sorry!" + +Sara and Tom felt bad. They were sorry. They did not mean to be naughty. They just liked the bow. They went back to their parents and said sorry. Their parents were unhappy. They said, "You should not run away from us and take things from the truck. That was wrong. You made the truck driver and the gift receiver unhappy. You also made yourselves uncomfortable. How would you feel if someone took your toys?" + +Sara and Tom understood. They felt worse. They said, "We are very sorry. We will not do it again. We will be good children." + +Their parents hugged them and said, "We love you. We are glad you are sorry. We hope you learned your lesson. Now, let's go home and have some cookies." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys on the floor. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a pink bunny and Ben had a blue car. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm a fast car!" Ben said, zooming his car around the floor. + +"Hop, hop, I'm a cute bunny!" Lily said, bouncing her bunny on the carpet. + +They played for a long time, until they heard their mom call them. + +"Kids, it's time for a snack!" Mom said from the kitchen. + +Lily and Ben paused their game and ran to the kitchen.

"You can eat on the couch, but be careful not to spill anything." + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Ben said, taking their snacks to the couch. They sat down and started to eat. + +But then, they saw something on the TV. It was a show they liked, with funny characters and songs. They wanted to watch it. + +"Mom, can we watch TV?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, but only for a little while. Then you have to go back to your toys," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and turned on the TV. They watched the show and laughed at the jokes. + +But soon, they had a problem. They both wanted to hold the remote. + +"Let me change the channel, I want to see something else," Ben said, reaching for the remote. + +"No, I want to keep watching this, it's my favorite," Lily said, holding the remote tight. + +They started to tug and pull on the remote, making loud noises. + +"Hey, stop that, you two!" Mom said, coming to the couch. "You can't fight over the remote. That's not nice." + +"But I want to watch what I want!" Ben said. + +"Me too!" Lily said. + +Mom sighed and looked at the TV. She saw that there was another show available, that they both liked. + +"How about this, kids?" Mom said, pointing at the screen. "Why don't you watch this show together? It's fun and educational. And you can take turns with the remote, okay?" + +Lily and Ben looked at the show. It was about animals and colors and shapes. They liked it. + +"Okay, Mom," they said, nodding. + +They gave each other the remote and watched the show. They learned new things and had fun. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"That's better," she said. "Now you're sharing and being kind. I'm proud of you." +Lily was a spoiled girl who had many toys and clothes. She always wanted more and more, and never shared with anyone. She did not like to tidy her room or help her mom and dad.

They looked at her and said hello. + +Lily was scared and wanted to go back. She ran to the tunnel and tried to find the door. But she could not see it. It was gone.

She wished she had never opened the wardrobe. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a club. The club is a big tree. They step on the roots to climb up.
