The little boy was running out of breath and he knew that he couldn't last much longer. + +Finally, he got too tired and couldn't go on any more. He was too far away from the beach, too deep in the water, and he had to give up. The little boy never made it back to the shore, and he was never seen again.

He found a beautiful diamond pick! + +But just as Timmy was about to show it to his mom, a strange man appeared out of nowhere. The man asked Timmy, "Where did you find that pick?". Timmy was scared, but he showed the man, as he thought it was normal. + +The strange man grabbed the diamond pick from Timmy and ran away. Timmy's mom ran after him, but it was too late.

She also repeated the same words when she saw it: "Wow, this is beautiful!" + +Rose was very careful with her crystal. Eventually, her mom gave her some special materials to make a case for the crystal, so it would stay safe. Rose was so happy, she hugged her mom and said: "Thank you!" + +To this day, Rose still has her beautiful crystal. She takes it out every day, and she is always careful with it.

She loved the fresh grass and the warm sun on her back. Suddenly she heard a loud noise! She was so frightened that she couldn't move. Charlie looked up and saw a big truck with a long, black horn. She stared in fear at the truck until it drove away. + +Charlie learned an important lesson from this experience. When she heard a loud noise, she knew to stay calm and just gaze. She would look around and figure out what was causing the noise. That way she wouldn't be so frightened. + +So the next time Charlie heard a loud noise, she knew what to do. She looked up and saw the truck with the long, black horn. But this time, she wasn't scared. She just kept eating her grass, content that she was free from danger. +Once there was a patient boy who was very fearful. He was scared to try new things, even if his friends wanted him to. One day, his friends wanted him to swing on the swing set, but the boy quivered with fear. He wanted to quit, but his friends encouraged him to keep going. He was so scared that he could hardly move. + +When he finally stepped onto the swing, he quivered even more. His friends told him that he shouldn't quit, so he took a deep breath and slowly pushed off. He went higher and higher and his fear began to lessen. He felt a rush of joy as he sailed back and forth. With every swing, he felt more and more fearless. + +Pretty soon, he wasn't scared at all! He laughed with delight. His friends cheered him on and he kept swinging until the sun began to set. After that, he said goodbye to his friends and went home feeling happy and brave. He was no longer a fearful patient boy. He was a brave, courageous kid! +Once upon a time there was a young boy, named Tom. Tom loved to be adventurous and he was always running around and looking for fun things to do! + +One day Tom decided he wanted to climb the big hill in the park.

He stopped to see what was wrong. + +“Tom! You need to wrap up! It’s getting cold,†his mom warned. + +Tom knew he should listen to his mom, but he just wanted to reach the top of the hill and see the view.

He made it to the top and saw the most incredible view. He was so glad he had been so adventurous. + +Tom ran back down the hill, happy that he had achieved his goal. He hugged his mom and thanked her for letting him go on the adventure. +Jack was feeling very lazy one day. He really wanted something to eat but he wasn't sure what it should be.

He began to go through each item carefully, trying to see what his stomach would be happy with. + +When he had finished looking over the menu he thought for a moment and then decided on a banana. Feeling content, he walked back to the living room to find his mother. + +"Mom, can you please help me to complete my banana?" he asked. His mother smiled and replied, "Of course my dear, what do you need me to do?" + +With his mom's help, Jack was able to make himself a tasty banana snack. It was the perfect way to complete his lazy day. +Once there was a boy named Tom. Tom was only 3 years old. One day, Tom was feeling bored and so he decided to throw his toy.

You did a great job!" + +Tom was happy and he asked, "Can I have a job to do?" His mom responded, "Yes Of course! You can help me fill this brown bucket with water!" + +Tom said, "Yes, I will do that job!" So, Tom filled the brown bucket with water and he was very proud of himself!

And so, the creature began to part from the basket. + +The creature continued on its journey, visiting beautiful places, meeting new friends, and having lots of fun. But over time, the creature began to feel lonely. "Why did I leave the basket? I want to go back," the creature sadly said. + +A kind bee flew by and said, "It's okay to be alone every now and then, but it's even better to be with friends and family. They are the most special people in our lives." The creature smiled, then flew back to the basket. + +The moral of the story is that no matter how much fun your adventures are, nothing can compare to the love and support of your family and friends. +Once upon a time there was a King who had a very special crown. He kept it hanging on the wall of his castle and everyone in the kingdom knew the crown was very special. + +One day, the King went out to meet his people and he asked them a big question. "Who can be the one to wear my crown?" he asked. Everyone scrambled to answer but none could get it right. + +Then, a young girl stepped forward. "Maybe I can wear the crown?" she said. But the King said no. +"No," he said, "only a true and brave King or Queen can wear this crown." + +The girl was disappointed but she said she would try to be brave and true. She spent the day trying all sorts of things to prove she was worthy. But nothing seemed to work. + +Near the end of the day, the King announced that he had an idea. He asked everyone in the kingdom to help the girl by giving her special gifts, ones that showed they believed in her. + +Everyone started to give the girl presents--warm hugs, songs, happy words--until finally she was crowned King. + +But wearing the crown wasn't easy.

Each duck gracefully ate their own worm - they had been patiently waiting for a snack! + +Molly smiled at the sight and said, "You see, sometimes when you yield something to the right place, you get a surprise." + +Stanley now understood why Molly was so proud of her worm! And from then on, before he gave anything away, he always wondered what kind of surprise he might receive. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Emily.

Mama said yes and Emily had to act very quickly to get ready. + +As soon as she arrived at the operation, Emily noticed all the red flags hanging across the walls. She was so happy to be part of it and to make her mama proud. + +"In order to make this operation a success, Emily," said a man, "you have to act quickly and very redly." + +Emily was a bit confused but she knew that if she wanted to make a good impression, she had to do her best.

He said, "Why are you spraying that book?" + +Bob said, "I always spray it so it stays nice and clean." + +But Tim said, "You should save that spray for other things. That book will stay clean either way." + +Bob was confused. He said, "I don't understand - why not spray it every day?" + +Tim said, "Sometimes we have to save things for emergencies. In case of an emergency, the book will come in handy, and then you'll be glad you didn't spray it all away." + +Bob felt embarrassed that he hadn't thought of it before. He thanked Tim for the advice and put the spray away. + +The moral of the story is to always think carefully before using up special resources.

One day he flew far away from his friends and family to discover new places. + +Tom flew over plains, oceans and mountains until he reached a great country. He had never seen anything so beautiful. Everywhere he looked he saw brightly coloured flowers, lush green trees and the bluest river he had ever seen. + +Tom was so excited he wanted to share his discovery with everyone. Before flying back, Tom wanted to take at least one flower back with him to show his friends. So he carefully plucked one flower and put it into his beak. + +Just as he was about to leave, a friendly bird landed next to him. The bird said "Tom, that flower belongs in this lovely country. If you take it away it won't be the same here anymore." + +Tom realised the wisdom in the bird's words and immediately knew he had to leave the flower behind. He put the flower back in its place and happily flew back home to share the great country he had discovered. + +Tom's story teaches us the important lesson that it is better to appreciate the beauty of things rather than take them away with us. +One day, Marcus wanted to go out and play.

I know you are upset. But I am not a bad guy. I am your mom. And I love you very much. And I want you to be safe and happy. And sometimes that means you have to nap.

The ostrich did not mind. It made a soft sound and blinked at Mia. + +"Wow, Mia, you are so brave!" Ben said. "Can I touch it too?" + +Mia nodded and moved aside. Ben also walked closer and touched the ostrich. The ostrich liked Ben too. It made another sound and rubbed its head against Ben's arm. + +Ben and Mia were very happy. They thanked the ostrich and said goodbye. They went to see other animals, but they always remembered the ostrich. It was their new friend. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be different animals. Lily liked to be a lion and Ben liked to be a monkey. + +Suddenly, they smelled something bad. It was smoke! They saw smoke coming from the kitchen. They were scared and did not know what to do. They wanted to run away, but they also wanted to find their mom and dad. + +They heard their mom and dad shouting from the kitchen. "Help! Help! The pot is on fire! We can't reach the water!" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They wanted to help their mom and dad, but they were too small. The fire was too big and the smoke was too thick. They wished they could shrink and go under the door. + +Then, they remembered their toy car. It was a small car that they could sit in and drive. They had an idea. They got in the car and pushed the button. The car made a noise and started to move. They drove the car under the door and into the kitchen. + +They saw their mom and dad trying to put out the fire with a towel. The fire was getting bigger and the smoke was getting darker. They saw a glass of water on the table. They drove the car to the table and climbed up. They grabbed the glass of water and poured it on the fire. The fire went out and the smoke cleared. + +Their mom and dad saw them and hugged them. They were so happy and proud. They said, "You are so brave! You saved us and the house! You are our heroes!" + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged them back. They were glad they could help. They learned that even if they are small, they can do big things. They learned that being brave means helping others in trouble. They learned that they love their mom and dad very much. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy. + +But soon they started to feel cold. Their fingers and toes were numb. Their noses were red. They began to shiver. + +"Let's go inside, Lily," Tom said. "We can have some hot chocolate. It will warm us up." + +"OK, Tom," Lily said. "But what about our snowman? He will be lonely." + +"Don't worry, Lily," Tom said. "We can come back and play with him later. He has his hat and scarf to keep him cozy." + +They ran inside the house. Their mom was waiting for them. She had made some hot chocolate with marshmallows. She also had some cookies with chocolate chips. They smelled delicious. + +"Here you are, my little snowflakes," Mom said. "You must be freezing. Come and sit by the fire. I have a surprise for you." + +She gave them each a mug of hot chocolate and a cookie. They sipped and nibbled. They felt warm and happy. + +"What is the surprise, Mom?" Lily asked. + +Mom smiled. She took out two blankets from a basket. They were soft and colorful. They had pictures of animals and flowers. Mom had made them herself. She had used a needle and thread to make stitches. + +"These are for you, Lily and Tom," Mom said. "I made them with love. They will keep you warm and snug. You can use them when you sleep or when you read or when you watch TV." + +Lily and Tom hugged Mom. They thanked her for the blankets. They wrapped themselves in them. They felt cozy and loved. + +They looked out the window. They saw their snowman. He was still smiling. He had his hat and scarf. He was not lonely. He had a friend. A little bird had landed on his hat. It was singing a song. +Ben was sleeping in his bed. He had a lamp next to his bed. The lamp was yellow and bright. Ben liked his lamp. It made him feel safe at night. + +But one night, Ben heard a strange noise. It was not his mom or dad. It was not his dog or cat. It was something different. Ben was scared. He opened his eyes and looked at his lamp. + +But his lamp was not yellow and bright. It was blue and dim. And it was moving. It was not a lamp. It was a monster. The monster had big eyes and sharp teeth. It said, "Hello, little boy. I am here to eat you." + +Ben screamed. He jumped out of his bed and ran to the door. He wanted to find his mom and dad. He wanted to get away from the monster. + +But the door was locked. The monster had locked it. The monster laughed. It said, "You cannot escape. You are my dinner." + +Ben was very brave. He did not give up. He looked around his room. He saw his toy truck. He picked it up and threw it at the monster. The truck hit the monster in the eye. The monster cried. It said, "Ow, that hurts. Stop that." + +Ben saw his chance. He ran to the window. He opened it and shouted, "Help, help. There is a monster in my room." + +His mom and dad heard him. They came to his room. They saw the monster. They were very angry. They said, "Go away, monster. Leave our son alone." + +The monster was afraid. It said, "Sorry, sorry. I made a mistake. I thought this was a lamp. I like lamps. They are tasty." + +The monster ran away. It jumped out of the window and disappeared. Ben's mom and dad hugged him. They said, "You are safe, Ben. You are very brave. We are proud of you." + +Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you. Can I have a new lamp, please?" + +The end. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a snake on the grass. It was long and green and had black spots. + +"Wow, look at that snake!" Ben said. "It is so cool. I want to touch it." + +"No, Ben, don't touch it!" Lily said. "It might bite you. It is not nice. We should go away." + +Ben and Lily disagreed. Ben thought the snake was fun and wanted to be its friend. Lily thought the snake was scary and wanted to be safe. They did not know what to do. + +Then they heard a voice. It was Sam, the park ranger. He was dependable. He knew a lot about animals and plants. He wore a hat and a badge and carried a net. + +"Hello, kids," Sam said. "I see you found a snake. Do you know what kind of snake it is?" + +Ben and Lily shook their heads. They did not know. + +"It is a garter snake," Sam said. "It is not dangerous. It eats worms and frogs and slugs. It is shy and harmless. But you should not touch it. It might be scared and try to escape. Or it might spray a bad smell. The best thing to do is to watch it from a distance and let it be." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They thanked Sam for telling them about the snake. They decided to leave it alone and look for something else to play with. They agreed that snakes were interesting, but not good pets. They were still best friends. +Sara and Tom are twins. They are three years old. They like to play with their baby brother, Ben. Ben is an infant. He cannot talk or walk. He only cries and sleeps and eats. + +One day, Sara and Tom find a lemon in the kitchen. They do not know what it is. It is yellow and round and has a green stem. They think it is a toy. They take it to Ben's crib. They want to play with him. + +"Look, Ben, we have a toy for you!" Sara says. She holds the lemon in front of Ben's face. Ben looks at the lemon. He reaches for it with his small hand. He puts it in his mouth. + +"Yuck!" Ben spits out the lemon. He makes a sour face. He starts to cry. The lemon is sour. It hurts his tongue. + +"Uh-oh, Ben does not like the toy," Tom says. He takes the lemon from Ben's mouth. He smells it. He makes a sour face too. He does not like the smell. + +"Sorry, Ben, we did not know the toy was sour," Sara says. She hugs Ben. She tries to make him stop crying. She gives him his pacifier. Ben sucks on his pacifier. He calms down. + +Sara and Tom put the lemon back in the kitchen. They do not want to play with it anymore. They do not want to eat it either. They want to eat something sweet. They go to their mom. They ask for a cookie. Mom smiles. She gives them a cookie. They eat the cookie. They are happy. They share the cookie with Ben. Ben is happy too. He likes the cookie. It is not sour. It is sweet. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also gave him two jewels for eyes. They found the jewels in their mom's jewelry box. They thought the snowman looked very wealthy. + +"Look at our snowman, he is so pretty!" Lila said. + +"Yes, he is. But we have to be careful, mom will be angry if she sees we took her jewels," Ben said. + +They heard a loud noise. It was their dad coming home with his car. He parked in the driveway, next to the snowman. + +"Hi, kids, what have you been doing?" he asked. + +"We made a snowman, dad, do you like him?" Lila and Ben said. + +Dad looked at the snowman and saw the jewels. He was surprised and confused. + +"Where did you get these jewels, kids? They look very expensive," he said. + +"We took them from mom's jewelry box, dad. We wanted to make the snowman wealthy," Lila and Ben said. + +Dad was not happy. He told the kids to take the jewels back to mom's jewelry box and to apologize to mom. He also told them to be more careful with their things. + +Lila and Ben felt sorry. They did what dad said. They took the jewels from the snowman's eyes and put them back in the jewelry box. They said sorry to mom. Mom was not too mad. She hugged them and told them to be more creative next time. + +They went back to the snowman. He looked sad without his jewels. The sun was shining and he was starting to melt. + +"Bye, snowman, we will miss you," Lila and Ben said. + +They gave him a hug and a kiss. They hoped he would come back next winter. +Ben and Mia were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and find things. Sometimes they found worms, sometimes they found rocks, sometimes they found nothing. + +One day, they found a nail. It was shiny and pointy. Ben wanted to keep it. He said, "This is mine. I found it first." + +Mia was sad. She wanted to share the nail. She said, "No, it is ours. We found it together." + +Ben and Mia started to fight. They pulled the nail from each other. They shouted and cried. + +Mom heard them and came outside. She saw the nail and was scared. She said, "Stop! That is dangerous. You can hurt yourself with that. Give it to me." + +Ben and Mia let go of the nail. They felt bad. They knew Mom was right. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We were silly." + +Mom took the nail and threw it in the trash. She hugged Ben and Mia and said, "It's okay. I love you both. You don't need a nail to play. You have each other." + +Ben and Mia smiled. They said, "We love you too, Mom. And we love each other." + +They hugged and kissed. Then they went back to play. They forgot about the nail. They had more fun with their toys and their imagination. +Lena loved her red dress. It was her favorite thing to wear. She liked how it looked and how it felt. She wore it every day, even when it was dirty or torn. + +One day, Lena went to visit her grandma. Grandma was elderly and kind. She lived in a small house with a big garden. Lena liked to play with the flowers and the birds in the garden. + +"Hello, Lena," Grandma said. "You look very pretty in your red dress. But it is also very old and worn. Why don't you try on this new dress I made for you? It is blue and soft and has a lovely ribbon." + +Lena looked at the new dress. She did not like it. She liked her red dress better. She shook her head and said, "No, thank you, Grandma. I want to keep my red dress. It is my favorite." + +Grandma smiled and said, "I understand, Lena. But you know, sometimes it is good to try new things. You might find that you like them too. And you can always keep your red dress as a memory. Why don't you lay it on the bed and try on the new dress? Just for a little while." + +Lena thought about it. She did not want to hurt Grandma's feelings. She loved Grandma very much. She decided to give the new dress a chance. She lay her red dress on the bed and put on the new dress. She looked at herself in the mirror. She was surprised. She looked very pretty in the blue dress. It was soft and comfortable and had a lovely ribbon. She felt happy. + +She ran to Grandma and hugged her. "Thank you, Grandma," she said. "I like the new dress. It is very nice. And I still love my red dress.

I am proud of you." + +Lena smiled and said, "I love you, Grandma. You are the best." + +The moral of the story is: It is good to try new things and be open to change, but it is also good to cherish what you have and be grateful. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, slide, swing and laugh. They have fun. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with their moms. They see a big truck. The truck has a lot of ice cream. Anna and Ben love ice cream. They run to the truck and ask their moms for some. + +"Can we have ice cream, please?" they say. + +Their moms look at each other. They shake their heads. + +"No, sweeties, not today. Ice cream is not healthy. It has too much sugar. It can make your stomach hurt. You need to eat good food, like fruits and vegetables. They make you strong and happy," they say. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They want ice cream. They do not want fruits and vegetables. They pout and whine. + +"But we want ice cream! Ice cream is yummy! Fruits and vegetables are yucky!" they say. + +Their moms are firm. They do not give in. + +"No, ice cream is not good for you. Maybe another day, as a treat. But today, you need to eat healthy. Come on, let's go to the picnic area. We have some sandwiches, apples and carrots for you. They are delicious and good for you," they say. + +They take Anna and Ben by the hand and lead them to the picnic area. Anna and Ben are still sad. They look at the ice cream truck.

Maybe a carrot or a potato." + +"Wow, Ben, that is a big root!" Anna says. She wants to see it better. "Can I hold it, please?" + +Ben does not want to share. He likes his root. He thinks it is lovely. He says, "No, Anna, it is mine. You have the big shovel. You can find your own root." + +Anna feels sad. She does not like it when Ben does not share. She says, "But, Ben, we are friends. Friends share. You can have the big shovel if you give me the root." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes the big shovel. It is shiny and strong. He says, "OK, Anna, we can trade. You can have the root and I can have the big shovel. But only for a little while. Then we have to give them back." + +Anna smiles. She is happy that Ben changed his mind. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Here is the big shovel. Let me see the root." + +They trade the shovel and the root.

They saw big boats and small boats, and sometimes they saw fish and birds. They liked to ask their dad many questions about the harbor and the boats. + +One day, they saw a big boat with a funny name. It said "Nosy Nelly" on the side. Lily and Ben wondered why the boat had that name. They asked their dad, but he did not know. + +"Maybe the boat is very nosy and likes to look at everything," Lily said. + +"Or maybe the people on the boat are very nosy and like to ask many questions," Ben said. + +They decided to go closer to the boat and see if they could find out. They walked along the dock until they reached the boat. They saw a man and a woman on the deck. They looked friendly and smiled at them. + +"Hello, little ones," the woman said. "Do you like our boat?" + +"Yes, we do," Lily and Ben said. "But we have a question. Why is your boat called Nosy Nelly?" + +The man and the woman laughed.

We loved it!" + +The grumpy man got up and left without saying anything. He did not thank anyone or say goodbye. He looked unhappy and lonely. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for him. They said, "Maybe he needs a hug, or a friend, or a puppet. Maybe he does not know how to be happy." + +Their mom and dad said, "Maybe you are right. But you know what? You can always choose to be happy and kind, no matter what. That is the best way to live and to make others happy too." + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They agreed with their mom and dad. They knew how to be happy and kind. And they knew they had a great family and a great day. +Tom and Ann were friends who liked to play in the big house. The big house belonged to a wealthy man who had many chambers full of shiny things. Tom and Ann liked to sneak into the chambers and look at the shiny things, but they never took anything. + +One day, they found a chamber they had never seen before. It had a big door with a lock and a sign that said "Do not enter". Tom and Ann were curious and wanted to see what was inside. They found a key under a rug and opened the door. + +Inside, they saw a big pile of gold and jewels. It sparkled and glittered in the light. Tom and Ann gasped and smiled. They thought they had found a treasure. + +"Wow, look at all this!" Tom said. "We could be rich!" + +"Let's take some!" Ann said. "No one will notice." + +They grabbed some gold and jewels and stuffed them in their pockets. They were happy and excited. They decided to add more and more to their pockets, until they were full. + +They did not see the trap that was hidden under the pile. It was a big net that was attached to a rope. When they moved the pile, the rope pulled the net and caught them. They screamed and struggled, but they could not get out. + +The wealthy man heard the noise and came to the chamber. He saw Tom and Ann in the net, with his gold and jewels spilling out of their pockets. He was angry and furious. He called the police and told them to take them away. + +Tom and Ann cried and begged, but it was too late. They had been caught stealing. They had to go to jail and pay back the wealthy man. They lost their freedom and their friendship. They wished they had never entered the chamber. +Lily and Max like to collect shells on the beach. They have a big bucket and a small shovel. They dig and dig and find many shells. Some are white, some are pink, some are shiny. + +"Look, Lily, I found a star!" Max says, holding a starfish. + +"Wow, Max, it is so pretty!" Lily says. "Can I see?" + +Max gives Lily the starfish. She touches it gently. It feels bumpy and wet. + +"Be careful, Lily, it is alive. We have to put it back in the water," Max says. + +"OK, Max, let's put it back," Lily says. They run to the water and let the starfish swim away. + +They go back to their bucket and shovel. They see a big towel on the sand. It is blue and green and has flowers on it. It looks fancy. + +"Whose towel is this?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe someone forgot it," Max says. + +"Can we take it, Max? It is so nice," Lily says. + +"No, Lily, we can't. That is not nice. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they will come back for it," Max says. + +"But what if they don't, Max? It will get dirty and wet," Lily says. + +"Then we can tell Mom or Dad and they will help us find the owner," Max says. + +"OK, Max, you are right. We should not take things that are not ours," Lily says. + +They leave the towel alone and keep collecting shells. They have fun on the beach. They are good friends. +Sara and her brother Ben like to play with their toys. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. One day, Sara sees a new toy in the shop. It is a big teddy bear. Sara wants the teddy bear very much. + +She asks her mom, "Mom, can I have the teddy bear, please?" + +Mom says, "Sorry, Sara, we don't have enough money for the teddy bear. Maybe you can save some money and buy it later." + +Sara feels sad. She goes back to her room and plays with her doll. Ben sees that Sara is sad. He wants to make her happy. + +He says, "Sara, do you want to play with my car? It is very fun. You can drive it around the room." + +Sara says, "No, thank you, Ben. I don't like cars. I like teddy bears." + +Ben thinks for a while. He has an idea. He says, "Sara, I have something to tell you. I recommend you to look under your bed. There is a surprise for you." + +Sara is curious. She looks under her bed. She sees a small teddy bear. It is Ben's teddy bear. He got it for his birthday. He likes it very much. + +Sara says, "Ben, is this your teddy bear? Why did you put it under my bed?" + +Ben says, "Yes, it is my teddy bear. But I want you to have it. You can keep it. I know you like teddy bears more than I do. I want you to be happy." + +Sara is very happy. She hugs Ben and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are the best brother ever. I love you." + +Mom hears them and smiles. She is very proud of Ben. He is very kind and generous. She says, "You are both very good children. I love you both very much." +Lila and Tom were playing on the porch with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars and planes and boats. But then Tom saw a shiny red bike in the yard next door. He wanted to ride it very much. + +"Can I go and see the bike?" he asked Lila. + +"No, you can't," Lila said. "That is not our bike. That is Sam's bike. He is not here now. He will be mad if you touch his bike." + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the yard and climbed on the bike. He tried to pedal, but the bike was too big for him. He lost his balance and fell off. He scraped his knee and elbow and started to weep. + +Lila heard him and ran to him. She saw the blood and the tears and felt sorry for him. She helped him up and hugged him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," she said. "Are you okay?" + +Tom nodded, but he still wept. He was hurt and scared and ashamed. He wished he had not been so greedy. + +Lila took him back to the porch and got a band-aid and a glass of water. She cleaned his wounds and put the band-aid on. She gave him the water and a kiss. + +"It's okay, Tom," she said. "You made a mistake, but you can learn from it. Next time, you should ask before you borrow something. And you should be careful with things that are not yours." + +Tom nodded again. He felt a little better. He thanked Lila and said he was sorry. He hugged her and said she was a good sister. + +They went back to playing with their toys. They forgot about the bike and the yard. They had fun with their own things. They did not need the shiny red bike. It was dull compared to their imagination. +Tom and Mia liked to play outside after dinner. They ran and jumped and laughed in the grass. They looked at the sky and saw the moon. The moon was big and bright and round. + +"Look, Mia, the moon is smiling at us!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it is, Tom. The moon is our friend. It is dependable. It always comes out at night to keep us company," Mia said. + +They smiled back at the moon and hugged each other. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw dark clouds cover the moon. They felt drops of water on their faces. It was rain. + +"Oh no, Tom, the rain is here. It is wet and cold and scary. We have to go inside," Mia said. + +"No, Mia, we can stay outside. The rain is fun. We can splash and dance and sing in the rain. The moon is still there. It will come back soon," Tom said. + +He pulled Mia's hand and ran to a puddle. He jumped in the puddle and splashed water everywhere. He laughed and shouted. + +"Come on, Mia, join me. The rain is not bad. It is good. It makes the grass and the flowers and the trees grow. It makes the earth happy," Tom said. + +But Mia did not join him. She did not like the rain. She did not think it was fun. She thought it was bad. It made her wet and cold and sad. It made the moon go away. It made the night dark and scary. + +She let go of Tom's hand and ran to the house. She cried and called for her mom. + +"Mom, mom, help me. The rain is here. It is wet and cold and scary. It took the moon away. It made the night dark and scary. I want to go inside. I want to be warm and dry and safe," Mia said. + +Her mom heard her and opened the door. She hugged Mia and took her inside. She dried her hair and gave her a blanket and a cup of milk. She kissed her and told her everything was okay. + +"Shh, Mia, don't cry. The rain is not bad. It is good. It makes the grass and the flowers and the trees grow. It makes the earth happy. The moon is still there. It will come back soon. The night is not dark and scary. It is calm and peaceful and beautiful. You are inside. You are warm and dry and safe," her mom said. + +Mia felt better. She drank her milk and snuggled with her mom. She looked out the window and saw the rain. She did not like the rain. She wished it would stop. + +But Tom did not go inside. He stayed outside. He liked the rain. He thought it was fun. He splashed and danced and sang in the rain. He looked at the sky and saw the moon. He did not see the dark clouds. He did not hear the thunder. He did not feel the lightning. + +He smiled at the moon and waved his hand. + +"Hello, moon, you are my friend. You are dependable. You always come out at night to keep me company," Tom said. + +But the moon did not smile back. The moon did not wave back. The moon did not answer. + +The moon saw the lightning. The moon saw the lightning strike Tom. The moon saw Tom fall to the ground. The moon saw Tom stop moving. The moon saw Tom die. + +The moon was sad. The moon cried. The moon wished it could help Tom. The moon wished it could save Tom. The moon wished it could bring Tom back. + +But the moon could not. The moon was too far away. The moon was powerless. The moon was not dependable. + +The end. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away, but they always ran after it and brought it back. + +One time, the ball went too far and landed near a big dog. The dog was black and had sharp teeth. It growled and barked at the ball. Ben and Lily were scared of the dog. They wanted their ball back, but they did not want to go near the dog. + +"Maybe we can wait until the dog goes away," Lily said. + +"Or maybe we can ask someone to help us," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a hat and a beard and a book. He looked wise and kind. Ben and Lily decided to ask him for help. + +They walked up to the man and said, "Excuse us, sir, can you please help us? Our ball is near that dog and we are afraid of the dog. Can you please get our ball for us?" + +The man smiled and nodded. He put down his book and got up from the bench. He walked towards the dog and said, "Don't worry, kids, I'll get your ball. I know how to deal with dogs. I have a trick that always works." + +Ben and Lily watched as the man approached the dog. They hoped he would get their ball and make the dog go away. They did not know what his trick was, but they trusted him. + +The man reached the dog and bent down. He looked into the dog's eye and said, "Hello, doggy, I'm your friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +The dog did not like the man. The dog did not like his eye or his voice or his smell. The dog did not want to play with him. The dog wanted to bite him. + +The dog lunged at the man and bit his hand. The man screamed and dropped the ball. The dog bit his arm and his leg and his face. The man fell to the ground and bled. + +Ben and Lily saw what happened and panicked. They ran away from the dog and the man and the ball. They ran back to their mom and dad and told them what happened. They cried and hugged them and said they were sorry. + +The mom and dad called the police and the ambulance. They tried to help the man and the dog. They were angry and sad and scared. + +The ball was left behind. It was red and round and shiny. It rolled away and stopped near a flower. It did not know what happened. It did not care. It was just a ball. +Lila was a little girl who liked to admire the stars at night. She would look out of her window and see the bright dots in the dark sky. She wondered what they were and how they shone so much. + +One night, she saw a shooting star. It was a fast and shiny streak that crossed the sky. She was amazed and excited. She remembered that her mom had told her that shooting stars were special and that she could make a wish if she saw one. + +She closed her eyes and made a wish. She wished for a gift that would make her happy and help her learn more about the stars. She opened her eyes and waited for her wish to come true. + +The next morning, she woke up and saw a big box on her bed. It had a bow and a tag that said "To Lila, from the stars". She opened the box and found a telescope inside. It was a mighty tool that could make the stars look bigger and clearer. She was overjoyed and hugged the box. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the gift. "Mom, look what I got from the stars! They heard my wish and gave me a telescope! Can we use it tonight?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "That's a wonderful gift, Lila. I'm so happy for you. Yes, we can use it tonight and see the stars together. You are a lucky and curious girl, Lila. I admire you for that." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. Sara has a cute doll with a pink dress and long hair.

Ben makes his car zoom and beep. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asks Sara. + +"OK, but be careful. She is my favorite," Sara says. + +"Can I play with your car?" Sara asks Ben. + +"OK, but don't crash it. It is very cool," Ben says. + +They swap their toys and try something new. Sara likes to make the car go fast and jump over rocks. Ben likes to comb the doll's hair and change her dress. + +They have fun playing with each other's toys. They learn something new and share their joy. + +They are good friends. Their parents allow them to play together often. They are happy. +Ben was a bald boy who liked to taste new things. He liked to taste sweet things, like cake and ice cream. He liked to taste sour things, like lemon and yogurt. He liked to taste salty things, like chips and cheese. But he did not like to taste bitter things, like coffee and broccoli. + +One day, Ben saw a big red apple on a tree. He wanted to taste it. He thought it would be sweet and juicy. He climbed on a chair and reached for the apple. But the chair was wobbly and Ben lost his balance. He fell off the chair and bumped his head on the ground. He cried out loud. + +Mom heard Ben cry and ran to him. She saw the chair, the apple and Ben's bald head. She hugged him and said, "Are you okay, Ben? You had a bad fall. Let me see your head." She checked his head and saw a small cut. She said, "It's not too bad, Ben. Just a little scratch. I'll put a band-aid on it and it will heal soon." + +She took Ben inside and cleaned his cut. She put a band-aid on his head and gave him a kiss. She said, "You're a brave boy, Ben. But next time, be careful when you climb on chairs. And if you want to taste an apple, just ask me. I have some in the kitchen." She gave him a slice of apple and said, "Here, taste this. It's sweet and juicy, just like you wanted." + +Ben tasted the apple and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Mom. I like this apple. It's yummy." He ate the apple and felt better. He forgot about his fall and his cut. He was happy. He said, "Mom, can I taste more things?" Mom said, "Sure, Ben. But only good things, okay?" Ben said, "Okay, Mom. I love you." Mom said, "I love you too, Ben." They hugged and tasted more things. +Tom and Mia liked to play with blocks. They built towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks. They were happy. + +One day, Tom had an idea. He wanted to make a big cake with the blocks. He asked Mia to help him. Mia liked cakes, so she agreed. They used the white blocks for the cream, the brown blocks for the chocolate, and the yellow blocks for the butter. They made a perfect cake. It was tall and round and yummy. + +They put the cake on the table and admired it. They were proud. They wanted to show their mom and dad. They went to find them. They left the cake on the table. + +But they did not see Max. Max was their dog. Max was hungry. He smelled the cake. He thought it was real. He jumped on the table and bit the cake. He did not like the taste. He spat out the blocks. He barked and scratched and shook his head. He destroyed the cake. He made a mess. He turned the blocks into powder. + +Tom and Mia came back with their mom and dad. They saw the powder. They saw Max. They were sad. They cried. Their mom and dad hugged them. They said they were sorry. They said they would buy them a real cake. They said they loved them. They said they were still perfect. +Sam and Sue were husband and wife. They liked to grow flowers in their garden. They had many colors and smells. They watered them every day and sang to them. + +One day, a big storm came. It was loud and scary. The wind blew hard and the rain fell fast. Sam and Sue ran inside their house. They hoped their flowers would be okay. + +When the storm was over, they went outside to see their garden. They were sad. The wind and the rain had broken their flowers. They were brown and flat. They did not bloom anymore. + +"Look, Sam, look!" Sue cried. She pointed to a corner of the garden. There was one flower that was still standing. It was yellow and bright. It had bloomed in the storm. + +Sam smiled and hugged Sue. "It is a miracle, Sue, a miracle!" he said. "Let us go and pick it. We can put it in a vase and keep it in our house." + +They ran to the corner of the garden. They reached for the flower. But they did not see the bee. The bee was hiding in the flower. It was angry and scared. It did not like Sam and Sue. It thought they wanted to hurt it. + +The bee flew out of the flower. It stung Sam and Sue on their noses. They screamed and dropped the flower. They ran back to their house. Their noses were red and swollen. They hurt a lot. They cried and cried. + +The flower was alone in the garden. It was yellow and bright. But it did not feel happy. It felt lonely and sad. It wished it had friends. It wished it had not bloomed. +Lila and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lila has a doll and Ben has a missile. The missile is flexible and can bend and twist. + +"Look, Lila, I can make my missile fly!" Ben says. He throws the missile in the air and it spins and curves. + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lila says. She watches the missile land on the couch. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lila, here you go." Ben gives the missile to Lila. She holds it in her hands and feels how flexible it is. + +Lila tries to throw the missile like Ben, but she throws it too hard. The missile flies out of the window and into the street. + +"Oh no, Lila, you mailed the missile!" Ben says. He runs to the window and looks outside. + +Lila feels sorry.

Lila says. + +"It's okay, don't worry. It's a nice missile. Very flexible." the man says. He walks to the window and gives the missile back to Lila and Ben. + +"Thank you, sir, you're very kind." Ben says. + +"You're welcome, kids. Have fun, but be careful." the man says. He waves and walks away. + +Lila and Ben wave back and say thank you again. They take the missile inside and hug each other. + +"We're sorry, missile, we won't mail you again." Lila says. + +"We love you, missile, you're our favorite toy." Ben says. + +The missile is happy. It bends and twists in their arms. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big dog with a guard. The guard wears a hat and a coat. He holds a leash. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asks the guard. + +"Sure, but be gentle. His name is Rex. He is a good dog, but he is messy. He likes to roll in the mud and chase squirrels," the guard says. + +Lily and Ben go near the dog. They touch his fur and ears. The dog wags his tail and licks their faces. They giggle and hug the dog. + +"Rex, you are so soft and warm. You are a nice dog," Ben says. + +"Thank you for letting us pet your dog. He is very cute," Lily says. + +"You are welcome.

He is excited. + +"Sure, here you go!" Lila says. She lets go of the vine. She smiles at Ben. + +Ben grabs the vine. He tries to swing. But the vine is too heavy. He cannot lift it. He falls to the ground. He feels sad. + +"Are you okay?" Lila asks. She runs to Ben. She helps him get up. + +"I'm okay, but I don't like this vine. It is too big and hard. It hurts me." Ben says. He rubs his arm. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know. Let's find another vine. A nice and soft one. Like this one." Lila says. She points to a thin and curly vine. It looks like a ribbon. + +"Okay, let's try that one. Maybe it will be more fun." Ben says. He smiles at Lila. + +Lila and Ben go to the thin and curly vine. They hold it and swing.

He says, "Do not worry. I will help you. The big boy is wrong. He should not take your toy. He should not hurt you. He should share. Sharing is good. Sharing is fun. Sharing makes friends." He goes to the big boy. He says, "Give the car back to Tim. Say sorry to Tim and Mia. Learn to share. Sharing is better than fighting." + +The big boy is afraid. He sees the man. He knows he is famous. He knows he has power. He does not want to make him angry. He says, "Sorry, Tim. Sorry, Mia. Here is your car. I was wrong. I will share."

They are friends. +Sara hated going to the doctor. She did not like the big chair, the cold stethoscope, or the sharp needle. She always cried and kicked when the doctor tried to check her. She wanted to stay at home and play with her toys. + +One day, Sara had a bad cough and a fever. Her mom said she had to go to the doctor. Sara said no, no, no. She hid under the bed and held her teddy bear. Her mom said, "Sara, please come out. The doctor will help you feel better. He is very nice and gentle. He has a sticker for you." + +Sara did not care about the sticker. She did not want to go. She said, "No, no, no. I hate the doctor. He is mean and scary. He makes me hurt." + +Her mom sighed and pulled her out from under the bed. She put her in the car and drove to the clinic. Sara cried all the way. She did not want to go. + +When they got to the clinic, Sara saw a lot of other kids. Some of them were smiling and laughing. Some of them were playing with books and toys. Sara saw a girl with a band-aid on her arm. She asked her, "Did the doctor give you that?" + +The girl nodded and said, "Yes, he did. He gave me a shot. It was not so bad. It only hurt for a little bit. Then he gave me a sticker and a lollipop. He was very nice and funny. He told me a joke and made me laugh." + +Sara looked at the girl. She looked happy and brave. She wondered if the doctor was really nice and funny. She wondered if the shot would really not hurt so much. She wondered if she could get a sticker and a lollipop too. + +She looked at her mom and said, "Mom, maybe the doctor is not so bad. Maybe I can go and see him. But only if you hold my hand and stay with me." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Of course, I will. I'm very proud of you, Sara. You are a big girl. You can do this." + +Sara nodded and took her mom's hand. They walked to the doctor's office. Sara was still a little scared, but she was also curious. She hoped the doctor would be nice and funny. She hoped he would have a sticker and a lollipop for her. She hoped he would make her feel better. She did not hate the doctor so much anymore. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball and a yellow bike. They also have a big dog named Max. Max likes to run and bark. + +One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big box with a lock. It is green and shiny. It has a sign that says "Do not open". Sara and Ben are curious. They want to know what is inside the box. + +"Maybe it is a treasure," Sara says. + +"Maybe it is a monster," Ben says. + +"Let's find out," Sara says. She tries to open the lock. But it is too hard. She needs a key. + +"Where can we find a key?" Ben asks. + +They look around the park. They see a man selling ice cream. They see a lady reading a book. They see a boy flying a kite. They do not see a key. + +Then they see a girl. She is sitting on a bench. She has a bag. She is eating something. It smells good. + +"Hello," Sara says. "What are you eating?" + +"Mint," the girl says. "Do you want some?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They like mint. The girl gives them some. It is sweet and cool. + +"Thank you," Sara and Ben say. + +"You're welcome," the girl says. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Sure," Sara and Ben say. "What do you want to play?" + +The girl smiles. She opens her bag. She takes out a key. It is green and shiny. It has a sign that says "Open me". + +"I have a secret," the girl says. "Do you want to see?" + +Sara and Ben gasp. They look at the key. They look at the box. They are the same. + +"Is that the key for the box?" Sara asks. + +"Yes," the girl says. "Do you want to open it?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They are excited. They follow the girl to the box. She puts the key in the lock. She turns it. The box opens. + +Sara and Ben peek inside. They see something mysterious. They see something amazing. They see something they have never seen before. + +What do they see? You can decide. The end. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big sack on a bench. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben said. + +"Maybe it's a surprise!" Lily said. + +They ran to the sack and pulled the string. Out came a shiny crown and a lot of papers. + +"Wow, a crown!" Ben said. He put it on his head. "I am the king!" + +Lily looked at the papers. They had words and pictures on them. "These are books!" she said. "Someone left their books here!" + +Ben did not care about the books. He liked the crown. He ran around the park, pretending to be the king. He did not see the man who came to the bench. + +The man was looking for his sack. He was a teacher. He had brought the crown and the books for his class. He was very angry when he saw Ben and Lily. + +"Hey, you two! Give me back my sack!" he shouted. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped the sack and the crown and ran away. + +The teacher picked up his sack and the crown. He checked the books. They were all there. He was relieved. + +Ben and Lily hid behind a tree. They felt ashamed. They knew they had done something bad. + +"We should not have taken the sack," Ben said. + +"We should have asked first," Lily said. + +They were sorry. They wanted to say sorry to the teacher. But they did not know how. They hoped he would forgive them. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big oak tree and pretend they were birds. They had a nest made of sticks and leaves, and they sang songs to each other. + +One day, they saw a new boy arrive at the park. He had a red hat and a blue bike. He looked sad and lonely. He did not talk to anyone or play with anything. + +"Who is he?" Anna asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is new here. Maybe he has no friends," Ben said. + +Anna felt sorry for the boy. She was a compassionate girl. She wanted to make him happy. + +"Let's go and say hello to him. Maybe he wants to play with us," she said to Ben. + +Ben nodded. He was a kind boy. He wanted to help Anna. + +They climbed down from the oak tree and walked to the boy. + +"Hi, I'm Anna and this is Ben. What's your name?" Anna said with a smile. + +The boy looked up and saw them. He smiled back. + +"Hi, I'm Leo. I just moved here. I don't know anyone," he said. + +"Would you like to play with us? We have a nest in the oak tree. It's very fun," Ben said. + +"Really? Can I see it?" Leo said. + +"Sure, come on. We'll show you," Anna said. + +They took Leo by the hand and led him to the oak tree. They helped him climb up and showed him their nest. They shared their songs and stories with him. Leo felt happy and welcomed. He made two new friends. + +They played until the sun set and their parents came to pick them up. They hugged and said goodbye. + +"See you tomorrow, Leo. We'll play again," Anna said. + +"See you tomorrow, Anna and Ben. Thank you for being so nice to me," Leo said. + +They waved and smiled. They were happy. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and make things. They are very creative. They can make houses, cars, animals and more. + +One day, they decide to make a big tower with all the blocks. They work hard and help each other. They speak to each other and say, "Good job!" and "Wow, look how high it is!" They are happy and proud of their tower. + +But then, Tom comes. Tom is mean. He does not like to play with blocks. He likes to break things. He sees Lily and Ben's tower and he gets angry. He says, "That tower is stupid. I can make a better one." He pushes Lily and Ben away and kicks their tower. The blocks fall down and make a loud noise. Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They cry and run away. + +Tom laughs and says, "I am the best. I have success. You are losers. You have nothing." He tries to make his own tower with the blocks. But he does not know how to make things. He does not have any friends to help him. He is not creative. He only makes a small pile of blocks. He is not happy. He is bored and lonely. He has no success. He has nothing. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a big suit in the closet and put it on. It was blue and had many buttons. She felt very grown-up and smart. + +She went to the living room to show her mom. But her mom was not there. She saw a big cake on the table. It was for her dad's birthday. It had candles and frosting and sprinkles. Lily wanted to taste it. She climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. + +But she was not careful. She knocked over the cake and it fell on the floor. The frosting and sprinkles made a big mess. The candles went out. Lily was scared and sad. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lily in the suit and the cake on the floor. She was angry and surprised. She asked Lily what she did. + +Lily felt ashamed. She said she was sorry. She said she wanted to show her mom the suit and taste the cake. She said she did not mean to ruin dad's birthday. + +Her mom hugged her and said she loved her. She said she was not mad, but she was disappointed. She said Lily should not play with her clothes or touch the cake. She said they would clean up the mess and make a new cake. + +Lily said she loved her mom too. She said she would help clean up and make a new cake. She said she would not play dress-up again. She took off the suit and put it back in the closet. She hoped dad would not be mad when he came home. She hoped he would like the new cake. She learned her lesson. +Jill and Ben were playing in their room. They had a big sheet that they used to make a tent. They put the sheet over their bed and some chairs. They crawled inside and pretended they were camping. + +"Look, I have a flashlight!" Ben said. He turned it on and off. Jill liked the light. She smiled and said, "Let's tell stories!" + +They took turns telling stories about animals and stars and fairies. They had fun. But then, Ben heard a noise. He looked outside the tent. He saw Mom coming. + +"Uh-oh, Mom is here!" Ben said. He quickly hid the flashlight under the sheet. He hoped Mom would not see it. + +Mom opened the door and saw the mess. She was not happy. She saw the sheet over the bed and the chairs. She saw the flashlight under the sheet. She knew what they were doing. + +"Jill and Ben, what are you doing?" Mom asked. She sounded angry. "You are supposed to be sleeping, not playing. And you are not supposed to use the sheet for a tent. It is for your bed. And you are not supposed to use the flashlight. It is for emergencies. You are being naughty!" + +Jill and Ben felt scared. They did not want to make Mom angry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We were just having fun. We did not mean to be naughty. Please don't be mad." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I know you were having fun, but you also have to follow the rules. You have to sleep at night, not play. You have to use the sheet for your bed, not for a tent. You have to be gentle with the flashlight, not hide it. You have to fix your mess, not leave it. Do you understand?" + +Jill and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will fix our mess. We will be gentle with the flashlight. We will use the sheet for our bed. We will sleep at night. We are sorry, Mom." + +Mom said, "Okay, then. I forgive you. But you have to do it now. No more playing. No more stories. No more tent. No more flashlight. Just sleep. Good night." + +Mom took the flashlight and left. Jill and Ben felt sad. They had to take down their tent. They had to put the sheet on their bed. They had to lie down and close their eyes. They had no more fun. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were going to see a show. They were very happy. They put on their best clothes and held their tickets. Mom and Dad took them to the big building where the show was. + +When they got inside, they saw many people and many seats. They found their seats and sat down. They looked at the big stage. The stage had curtains and lights and props. Lily and Ben wondered what they would see. + +Soon, the lights went dim and the curtains opened. A man came on the stage. He had a funny hat and a big smile. He said, "Hello, everyone! Welcome to the show! Are you ready to have some fun?" The people clapped and cheered. Lily and Ben clapped and cheered too. + +The man said, "Today, we have a very special guest. He is fast and smart and brave. He can do amazing tricks. He is the best dog in the world. Please welcome...Rex!" The people clapped and cheered louder. Lily and Ben clapped and cheered louder too. + +Then, a dog came on the stage. He was brown and white and fluffy. He had a collar and a leash. He wagged his tail and barked. He looked very happy. The man said, "Rex, show us what you can do!" The dog did many tricks. He jumped, he rolled, he fetched, he balanced, he danced. He was very fast and very good. The people clapped and cheered more and more. Lily and Ben clapped and cheered more and more too. They loved Rex. They loved the show. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They had a big magnifying glass and a notebook. + +"Look, Tom, what is this?" Lily said, pointing to a round thing on the table. It was gray and black and had some sticks in it. + +Tom looked at it with the magnifying glass. "I think it is an ashtray. It is where people put their cigarettes when they smoke. Mommy and Daddy don't smoke, but Uncle Bob does. He was here yesterday." + +Lily made a face. "It is disgusting. It smells bad and it is dirty. Why does Uncle Bob smoke? It is bad for him." + +Tom shrugged. "I don't know. He says he likes it, but I don't. Let's wipe it and throw it away. Maybe he will stop smoking if he doesn't have an ashtray." + +Lily nodded. She got a paper towel and wiped the ashtray. She coughed and sneezed. "Yuck, it is so gross. Come on, Tom, let's take it to the trash can." + +They ran to the kitchen and threw the ashtray in the trash can. They felt proud of themselves. They had solved a mystery and done a good deed. They went back to the living room and continued their spy game. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They had a ball and a frisbee. They liked to throw them to each other and catch them. Sometimes they missed and the ball or the frisbee went into a bush. Then they had to look for them and pull them out. + +One time, Lila threw the frisbee too hard and it flew over the fence. Tom ran after it, but he could not reach it. It was on the other side of the fence, near a big house. Tom was sad. He liked the frisbee. It was his favorite toy. + +Lila saw a man coming out of the house. He had a hat and a beard. He saw the frisbee and picked it up. He walked to the fence and smiled. He said, "Is this yours?" He threw the frisbee over the fence to Tom. Tom was happy. He said, "Thank you, mister!" He caught the frisbee and hugged it. + +Lila ran to Tom and said, "Wow, he was very generous! He gave you back your frisbee!" Tom nodded and said, "Yes, he was. He was very nice." They waved to the man and said, "Bye, mister!" The man waved back and said, "Bye, kids! Have fun!" + +Lila and Tom went back to playing. They threw the ball and the frisbee to each other and caught them. Sometimes they missed and the ball or the frisbee went into a bush. But they did not mind. They knew they could find them and pull them out. They were having a lot of fun. +Tim likes to dive in the pool. He puts on his goggles and swims to the deep end. He sees his dad waving at him from the side. He takes a big breath and dives under the water. He feels like a fish. + +He sees a toy car at the bottom of the pool. He swims to get it. He thinks it is his car. He likes cars. He wants to be a driver when he grows up. He grabs the car and swims up to the surface. + +But when he looks at the car, he sees that it is not his car. It is a different car. It is a terrible car. It is broken and dirty and has no wheels. He does not like this car. He does not want this car. He feels sad and angry. + +He throws the car back into the water. He does not want to dive anymore. He swims to his dad and hugs him. He tells him about the terrible car. His dad says he is sorry. He says he will find his car later. He says he loves him. He says he is a good diver. Tim feels better. He smiles and says he loves him too. He says he still wants to be a driver. He says he will dive again tomorrow. +Anna and Ben love to watch the trains go by. They sit on the grass near the rail and wave at the drivers. Sometimes they see big trains with many cars, and sometimes they see small trains with only one or two cars. They like to guess what the trains are carrying. + +One day, they see a very big and powerful train. It is black and red, and it makes a loud noise. It has a big smokestack on the front, and it blows out white smoke. Anna and Ben are amazed by the train. They wonder what it is doing. + +"Look, Ben, that train is different from the others," Anna says. "It is not electric, it is steam. It needs coal to run." + +"What is coal?" Ben asks. + +"Coal is a black rock that burns. The train has a car full of coal behind the smokestack. The driver has to feed the coal to the fire in the engine. That makes the steam that moves the wheels," Anna explains. + +"Wow, that is cool. How do you know that?" Ben says. + +"I read it in a book. The book said that steam trains are very old, and they are not used much anymore. They are very powerful, but they are also very dirty and noisy. They pollute the air and the rail," Anna says. + +"Then why is that train here?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a special train. Maybe it is going to a museum, or a show, or a festival. Maybe it is carrying something important, or something fun," Anna says. + +They watch the train until it disappears in the distance. They hope to see it again someday. They think it is a very interesting and powerful train. They wonder what it is feeding on. +Sam and Ben were brothers. They liked to play in the park near their home. One day, they saw a big hill in the west. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Sam!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a castle or a dragon!" + +Sam was not sure. He felt cold and scared. He saw dark clouds in the sky. He heard thunder and wind. He thought it was going to rain soon. + +"Ben, I don't want to go," Sam said. "It looks bad over there. Let's go back home and play with our toys." + +Ben was angry. He wanted to have an adventure. He did not listen to Sam. He ran to the hill and started to climb. + +"Come on, Sam! Don't be a baby!" Ben shouted. "You are missing all the fun!" + +Sam was sad. He did not want to make Ben mad. He followed Ben to the hill. He hoped they would be safe and happy. + +But they were not. When they reached the top of the hill, they saw nothing but rocks and dirt. There was no treasure, no castle, no dragon. There was only a big storm coming their way. The rain started to fall. The wind started to blow. The thunder started to roar. + +"Ben, we have to go back!" Sam cried. "We are in trouble! We are wet and cold and lost!" + +Ben was sorry. He realized he had made a mistake. He had not listened to Sam. He had not looked at the signs. He had put them in danger. + +"Sam, I'm sorry," Ben said. "I was wrong. You were right. Let's go back." + +But it was too late. The storm was too strong. The hill was too steep. The path was too slippery. They could not go back. They could only wait and hope for help. + +But help did not come. The storm did not stop. The hill did not change. The path did not clear. They were stuck. They were alone. They were afraid. + +They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had stayed home. They wished they had played with their toys. They wished they had never seen the hill in the west. + +The end. +Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, and a big pond. But Tom and Lily liked the statue best. The statue was of a man on a horse. He had a hat and a sword. The statue was very hard and shiny. + +"Can we touch the statue, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. It might be hot from the sun," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the statue and touched it. It was hard and warm. They felt the horse's legs and the man's face. They tried to climb on the statue, but it was too high. + +"Look, the statue has a name," Lily said. She pointed to a sign at the base of the statue. It said: George Washington. + +"Who is George Washington?" Tom asked. + +"He was a very important man a long time ago. He helped our country be free," Mom said. + +"Wow, he must have been very brave and strong," Tom said. + +"Yes, he was. And he was also very kind and wise," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They liked the statue even more. They said thank you to George Washington and gave him a hug. Then they waved goodbye and went to play on the swings. + +The end. +Ben liked to print pictures of his family. He had a big box of crayons and many sheets of paper. He printed his mom, his dad, his sister, his dog and himself. He printed them with different colors and shapes. He was very proud of his prints. + +One day, he wanted to show his prints to his friend Sam. He put them in his backpack and went to Sam's house. Sam was playing with his toy cars. He saw Ben's backpack and asked, "What do you have in there?" + +Ben said, "I have my prints of my family. Do you want to see them?" + +Sam said, "Yes, please." He opened Ben's backpack and took out the prints. He looked at them and laughed. He said, "These are not prints. These are scribbles. They are ugly and silly. You can't print. You are a baby." + +Ben felt very sad and angry. He said, "They are not scribbles. They are prints. They are beautiful and smart. I can print. You are mean." + +Sam said, "No, I am not mean. I am mighty. I can do anything. You are weak. You can do nothing." + +He took Ben's prints and tore them into pieces. He threw them in the trash. He said, "There. Now you have no prints. Go away." + +Ben cried and ran away. He went back to his house. He told his mom what happened. His mom hugged him and said, "I am sorry, Ben. Sam was very rude and wrong. Your prints are wonderful and precious. They show how much you love your family. You are not a baby. You are a great artist. You are mighty in your own way." + +She took him to his room and gave him a new box of crayons and many sheets of paper. She said, "Here. You can print more pictures of your family. And you can print anything else you want. You have a big imagination and a big heart. That is what makes you mighty." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. You are mighty too." + +He started to print again. He printed his family and his friends. He printed his toys and his dreams. He printed his feelings and his thoughts. He printed his love and his joy. He was happy and proud of his prints. + +The moral of the story is: Don't let anyone make you feel bad about your creativity and your expression. Everyone is mighty in their own way. Respect and appreciate yourself and others. +Sara liked to swim in the pool. The pool was warm and blue. She had a cube that could float. The cube was red and yellow. She threw the cube in the water and swam after it. + +She saw a fish in the pool. The fish was small and green. It swam near the cube. Sara wanted to touch the fish. She reached out her hand and said, "Hi, fish!" + +The fish was scared of Sara. It swam away fast. Sara followed the fish. She forgot about the cube. She wanted to be friends with the fish. + +But the fish did not want to be friends with Sara. It hid under a rock. Sara could not find the fish. She was sad. She looked for the cube. She could not find the cube. She was more sad. + +She heard her mom call her name. "Sara, time to get out of the pool!" Sara swam to the edge of the pool. She saw her mom holding the cube. Her mom had found the cube. Sara was happy. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom!" She took the cube and said, "Bye, fish!" She got out of the pool and dried off. She still liked to swim in the pool. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a lot of toys, but his favorite is a yellow lab. A lab is a big dog that is very friendly and smart. Tom named his lab Sunny, because he is bright and happy. + +One day, Tom and Sunny went to the park. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Tom wanted to try them all, and Sunny followed him. They had a lot of fun, until they saw a girl with a red ball. The girl was throwing the ball and catching it. Sunny liked balls, and he wanted to play too. + +Sunny ran to the girl and barked. He wanted to say hello and ask for the ball. But the girl was scared of Sunny. She thought he was a bad dog. She screamed and dropped the ball. Sunny picked up the ball and wagged his tail. He thought the girl gave him the ball. + +Tom saw what happened and ran to Sunny. He said, "Sunny, no! That is not your ball. That is the girl's ball. You have to give it back. You have to be nice." Tom took the ball from Sunny and set it on the ground. He said to the girl, "I'm sorry. Sunny is not a bad dog. He just wanted to play. He likes balls. Do you want to play with us?" + +The girl looked at Tom and Sunny. She saw that Sunny was a yellow lab, not a bad dog. She saw that he was friendly and smart. She saw that Tom was nice and sorry. She smiled and said, "Okay. I want to play with you. What is your name? What is his name?" + +Tom smiled and said, "My name is Tom. His name is Sunny. He is my best friend. What is your name?" + +The girl said, "My name is Lily. I like your dog. He is very cute. Can I pet him?" + +Tom said, "Sure. He likes to be petted. He is very soft." + +Lily petted Sunny and said, "He is very soft. He is a good dog. Can we play with the ball?" + +Tom said, "Yes. We can play with the ball. Sunny can fetch the ball. He is very fast. Do you want to throw the ball?" + +Lily said, "Yes. I want to throw the ball. Let's play!" + +Tom, Lily, and Sunny played with the ball. They had a lot of fun. They became friends. They learned to share and be nice. They were happy. +Ben and Mia like to play pirate in the garden. They have a big box that is their ship. They have hats and swords and a map. They look for treasure and fight sea monsters. + +One day, it starts to rain. The rain is cold and wet. Ben and Mia run inside the house. They are sad. They want to play pirate more. + +"Can we play pirate in the house?" Ben asks Mom. + +Mom thinks for a moment. She smiles. She says, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful and quiet. And you have to clean up when you are done." + +Ben and Mia are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom!" + +They take their box, their hats, their swords and their map to the living room. They pretend the couch is their ship. They pretend the rug is the sea. They pretend the pillows are islands. They look for treasure and fight sea monsters. + +They have fun. They forget about the rain. They are good pirates. +Tom is a very intelligent boy. He likes to learn new things and ask questions. He also likes to eat rice with his family. Rice is good for him and makes him strong and healthy. + +One day, Tom goes to the market with his mom. He sees many different kinds of food and people. He is curious and wants to try everything. He asks his mom, "Mom, can I have some of this and some of that?" + +His mom smiles and says, "No, Tom, you can't have everything. You have to choose one thing that you like and enjoy it. If you have too much, you will waste food and money and feel sick." + +Tom thinks for a moment and says, "OK, mom, I understand. I will choose one thing that I like and enjoy it. How about this?" He points to a stall that sells fried rice with eggs and vegetables. + +His mom nods and says, "That's a good choice, Tom. Fried rice is tasty and nutritious. Let's buy some and share it." + +They buy a plate of fried rice and sit on a bench. They eat the rice with chopsticks and enjoy every bite. Tom says, "Mom, this rice is delicious. Thank you for buying it for me." + +His mom hugs him and says, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad you like it. You are a very intelligent and grateful boy. You know how to appreciate what you have and enjoy it. That's a very important lesson in life." + +Tom smiles and says, "I love you, mom. You are the best mom in the world." + +They finish their rice and go home happily. They have learned that it is better to enjoy one thing than to want everything. They have also learned that they have each other, and that is the most precious thing of all. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big band in the park. The band has drums and horns and flags. The band is making a lot of noise. Ben and Lily want to see more. + +"Look, Lily, they are marching!" Ben says. "They are going to the big stage. Let's follow them!" + +"Okay, Ben, let's go!" Lily says. They run after the band. They feel proud to be with the band. They think they are part of the show. + +But they are not. The band is for a special event. The band is for the mayor. The mayor is a big man with a big hat. He does not like children. He does not like noise. He does not like Ben and Lily. + +When the band reaches the stage, the mayor sees Ben and Lily. He is angry. He shouts at them. + +"Hey, you two, get away from my band! You are ruining my speech! You are making a mess! Go home, now!" + +Ben and Lily are scared. They feel sad. They feel ashamed. They run away from the stage. They cry. They wish they never saw the band. They wish they never followed the march. They wish they never felt proud. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They watch the birds and the flowers. They watch the big kids run and jump. + +One day, they see a big kid with a medal. The medal is shiny and round. It has a long ribbon. The big kid wears it on his neck. + +"Wow, look at that medal!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. How did he get it?" + +Ben shrugs. He does not know. He wants to see the medal too. + +They run to the big kid. They say hello. They ask him about his medal. + +The big kid smiles. He tells them his name is Sam. He says he got the medal from a race. He ran very fast and he won. + +"Can we see your medal?" Lily asks. "Can we touch it?" + +Sam nods. He takes off his medal. He gives it to Lily. She holds it in her hands. She feels its weight. She sees its color. + +"It is heavy and bright," she says. "It is beautiful." + +She gives it to Ben. He looks at it closely. He sees a picture on it. It is a picture of a runner. + +"It is cool and smooth," he says. "It is awesome." + +He gives it back to Sam. He thanks him for sharing. + +Sam puts on his medal again. He says he is proud of it. He says he worked hard for it. + +He asks Lily and Ben if they want to race with him. He says he will teach them how to run fast. + +Lily and Ben nod. They want to learn. They want to have fun. + +They follow Sam to the track. They get ready to race. They watch Sam. They listen to his tips. + +They run with him. They feel the wind on their faces. They feel their legs move. + +They laugh and cheer. They have a good time. + +They do not care who wins. They are happy to play. + +They are happy to be friends. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves and fruits. They wanted to pick some fruits to eat. But the tree was too high for them. + +"Let's get a bucket and pour some water on the tree. Maybe the fruits will fall down," Sara said. + +"Good idea," Ben said. They ran to the fountain and filled a bucket with water. They carried the bucket to the tree and poured the water on the branches. + +But the water did not make the fruits fall down. Instead, it made the leaves wet and dirty. The water also splashed on a man who was sitting under the tree. He was reading a book and he got very angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing? You ruined my book and my clothes. You are very naughty and rude," the man shouted. + +Sara and Ben were scared and ashamed. They did not mean to make the man angry. They just wanted some fruits. + +"We are sorry, sir. We did not see you. We wanted to get some fruits from the tree," Sara said. + +"Well, you should not pour water on the tree. That is not how you get fruits. You should ask for permission and use a ladder or a stick. And you should respect other people and their things. Do you understand?" the man said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They felt very sorry and learned their lesson. They apologized to the man and helped him dry his book and his clothes. They also cleaned the leaves and the ground. Then they said goodbye to the man and the tree and went home. They decided to never pour water on the tree again. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big elephant in the park. It was gray and had a long nose. The elephant was lost and scared. + +"Hello, elephant. Why are you here?" Lily asked. + +"I ran away from the circus. I wanted to see the world. But I miss my home and my friends," the elephant said. + +"You are very adventurous, elephant. But you should return to your home. It is not safe here. There are cars and people and dogs," Ben said. + +"Can you help me find my way back?" the elephant asked. + +"Of course. We can ask our mommies. They know everything," Lily said. + +Lily and Ben held the elephant's trunk and led him to their mommies. Their mommies were surprised and happy to see the elephant. They called the circus and told them where the elephant was. The circus people came and thanked Lily and Ben for helping the elephant. They gave them tickets to see the show. + +"Goodbye, elephant. We are glad you are safe. Have fun at the circus," Lily and Ben said. + +"Goodbye, Lily and Ben. You are very kind and brave. Thank you for being my friends," the elephant said. + +The elephant returned to his home and his friends. He was happy, but he never forgot Lily and Ben. They were his most adventurous friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in Anna's room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big bed with many pillows. + +One day, they decide to play pillow fight. They take the pillows and throw them at each other. They laugh and have fun. They do not hurt each other. They are careful and friendly. + +But then, Anna's mom comes in. She is angry. She sees the pillows on the floor and the toys everywhere. She says, "What are you doing? You made a big mess! You have to clean up now!" + +Anna and Ben are sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were just playing. We will clean up now." + +Anna's mom is still angry. She says, "You should not play with pillows. They are for sleeping, not for throwing. You could break something or hurt someone. You have to be more responsible and respectful." + +Anna and Ben listen to Anna's mom. They understand that she is right. They say, "You are right, mom. We were not responsible or respectful. We will not play with pillows again. We will find another way to have fun." + +Anna's mom is happy. She sees that they are sorry and that they learned their lesson. She says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. I am glad that you are good friends. But please, next time, play with something else. And remember to clean up after yourselves." + +Anna and Ben nod. They hug Anna's mom. They say, "We love you, mom. Thank you for teaching us." + +They clean up the room. They put the pillows back on the bed and the toys in the box. They find a book and read it together. They still laugh and have fun. But they are also responsible and respectful. They are good friends. +Lila and Sam were lost in the big sand. They were very thirsty and tired. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw a green spot far away. They hoped it was an oasis. + +They walked and walked until they reached the oasis. They saw a pool of water and some palm trees. They also saw a big snake near the water. They were scared of the snake. They did not know if it was harmless or not. + +Lila said to Sam, "We need to drink water, but the snake is there. What can we do?" Sam said, "Maybe we can speak to the snake. Maybe it will let us drink water." Lila said, "But how can we speak to the snake? We do not know its words." Sam said, "We can try. Maybe it will understand us." + +They went closer to the snake and said, "Hello, snake. We are lost in the big sand. We are very thirsty and tired. Can we drink some water from your pool? We will not hurt you or your pool. We just want to drink and rest. Please, snake, can you be nice to us?" + +The snake looked at them and said, "Sssss. I am a harmless snake. I do not bite or poison. You can drink some water from my pool. But do not drink too much or make it dirty. And do not touch me or my eggs. They are under the palm tree. If you do, I will be angry and chase you away. Do you understand, ssss?" + +Lila and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, snake, we understand. Thank you, snake, for being nice to us. You are a good snake." They drank some water from the pool and sat under the palm tree. They were happy and grateful. They did not touch the snake or its eggs. They said goodbye to the snake and left the oasis. They found their way back to their home. They told their parents about the oasis and the snake. Their parents were proud of them for being brave and polite. They hugged them and gave them some cookies. They lived happily ever after. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going to the theater with Mom and Dad. They had never been to the theater before. They wanted to see a show with songs and costumes and magic. + +But when they got to the theater, it was very cold. The air was icy and made them shiver. Mom and Dad said it was because the theater had a special machine that made snow. They said the show was about a princess who could make snow and ice with her hands. + +Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to see the princess and the snow. They followed Mom and Dad to their seats and waited for the show to start. The lights went down and the curtain went up. + +On the stage, there was a castle and a forest and a lot of people. They were singing and dancing and telling a story. Lily and Ben watched and listened. They saw the princess and her sister and a funny snowman. They saw the princess run away from the castle and hide in the mountains. They saw her sister and a boy and a reindeer look for her. + +Then, something amazing happened. The princess revealed her secret. She lifted her hands and made a huge ice palace. She sang a song about being free and happy. She made a dress and a crown out of ice. She looked beautiful and powerful. + +Lily and Ben gasped. They clapped and cheered. They loved the princess and her ice magic. They wanted to be like her. They wanted to make snow and ice with their hands. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They had an idea. They whispered to each other and nodded. They waited for the show to end. + +When the show was over, Lily and Ben ran to the stage. They climbed up and touched the ice palace. It was cold and hard and sparkly. They pretended to be the princess and her sister. They sang and danced and made snowballs. They had fun. + +But they did not see Mom and Dad. They did not hear them call their names. They did not notice the people who worked at the theater. They did not see them come and take down the ice palace. They did not see them get angry and scold them. + +They only saw the ice and the snow and the magic. They only felt the joy and the wonder. They only heard the music and the laughter. They only lived in the story. +Anna was a new girl in the town. She did not have any friends yet. She liked to play with her doll and read books. One day, she saw a big house in the woods. She was curious and wanted to see inside. + +She walked to the house and knocked on the door. No one answered. She opened the door and went in. The house was dark and dusty. There were many strange things on the shelves and tables. Anna saw a big pot on the fire. She smelled something bad. + +Suddenly, a voice said, "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" Anna turned around and saw a witch. The witch had a long nose, a black hat and a broom. She looked angry and scary. Anna was afraid and wanted to run away. + +But the witch grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the pot. She said, "You are just in time for my soup. I need a new ingredient. You will make a tasty snack." She lifted Anna and tried to put her in the pot. + +Anna screamed and kicked. She did not want to be soup. She saw her doll on the floor. She reached for it and threw it at the witch. The doll hit the witch in the face and made her drop Anna. Anna ran to the door and opened it. She saw a boy outside. He was holding a stick. + +He said, "Are you okay? I heard you scream. I live nearby and I came to help. That witch is evil and dangerous. She tries to catch children and cook them. You are brave to escape." He gave Anna his hand and helped her out of the house. + +Anna said, "Thank you for saving me. You are kind and strong. What is your name?" He said, "My name is Ben. What is yours?" She said, "My name is Anna. I am new in the town. I don't have any friends." He said, "You have one now. Do you want to play with me?" She said, "Yes, I do. You are my first friend." They smiled and hugged. + +They ran away from the house and the witch. They played in the woods and had fun. They shared their books and toys. They became good friends. Anna was happy. She succeeded in finding a friend. She did not care about the witch anymore. She had Ben. He was her new friend. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big box near a tree. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They opened the box and found many masks. There were masks of animals, people and things. Tom and Lily put on some masks and pretended to be different. + +Tom put on a mask of a lion. He roared and chased Lily. Lily put on a mask of a bird. She flapped her wings and flew away. They laughed and had fun. + +Then they saw a man coming. He looked angry. He said, "Hey, those are my masks! Give them back!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They took off the masks and ran to their mom. They told her what happened. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, you did nothing wrong. The man should not leave his masks in the park. He should share them with others. You are good kids." + +Tom and Lily were glad. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +They went home and played with their own toys. They still liked masks, but they liked their mom more. +Lily and Ben liked to pretend a lot. They had many toys and games to play with. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make a structure with it. They cut out windows and doors and painted it with bright colors. + +They put the box in the backyard and climbed inside. They pretended it was a castle and they were the king and queen. They had fun making rules and giving orders to their stuffed animals. They also pretended there was a deep moat around their castle and a dragon guarding it. + +But soon they started to argue. Lily wanted to have a tea party with her dolls, but Ben wanted to have a sword fight with his knights. They both wanted to use the same space and the same toys. They shouted and pushed each other. The box started to shake and tear. + +"Stop it!" their mom said, coming outside. "You are ruining your structure and your fun. Why can't you share and take turns?" + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They knew their mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They agreed to play together and respect each other's wishes. They fixed their box and invited their mom to join their pretend castle. They had a lot more fun that way. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing and taking turns is important for friendship and cooperation. +Lily and Max were playing in the yard with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses and cars and animals. Lily had a pink doll and Max had a blue truck. They were having fun and laughing. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise and saw a big, dark cloud in the sky. It was spinning and moving fast. It was a tornado! Lily and Max were scared. They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. + +"Mom, mom, there is a tornado!" they shouted. + +Mom looked out the window and saw the tornado too. She was worried. She grabbed Lily and Max and took them to the basement. She told them to lay down on the floor and cover their heads with pillows. + +"Don't worry, my loves, we will be safe here. The tornado will go away soon. I love you," she said. + +Lily and Max lay down and hugged their mom. They heard the tornado roar and shake the house. They closed their eyes and prayed. + +After a while, the noise stopped and the house was quiet. Mom got up and checked the window. The tornado was gone. The sky was blue and sunny again. She smiled and hugged Lily and Max. + +"Thank God, we are okay. The tornado did not hurt us or our house. Let's go upstairs and have some yummy cookies. You were very brave, my loves," she said. + +Lily and Max smiled and followed their mom. They were happy and hungry. They ate some yummy cookies and drank some milk. They thanked their mom and told her they loved her. They went back to the yard and played with their toys. They forgot about the tornado and had fun. +Lily was playing in the garden with her doll. She liked to make her doll dance and sing. She was very happy. + +But then she heard a loud buzz. She looked up and saw a big bee. The bee was flying near her doll. Lily was scared. She did not like bees. They could sting and hurt. + +"Go away, bee!" she shouted. "Leave my doll alone!" + +The bee did not listen. It flew closer and closer to the doll. Lily tried to grab her doll, but the bee was faster. It landed on the doll's hair and started to pull. + +"Help, help!" Lily cried. "The bee is taking my doll!" + +Then she heard a tiny voice. It came from the ground. She looked down and saw an ant. The ant was carrying a leaf. The ant was very graceful. It moved quickly and quietly. + +"Hello, Lily," the ant said. "I can help you. I can scare the bee away. But you have to do something for me." + +"What do you want?" Lily asked. + +"I want you to share your doll with me," the ant said. "I like dolls too. They are fun and pretty. Can I play with your doll sometimes?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked her doll very much. She did not want to share it. But she also did not want to lose it to the bee. She decided to be nice. + +"Okay, ant," she said. "You can play with my doll sometimes. But you have to be careful. Do not break it or lose it. And you have to give it back when I ask." + +"Deal," the ant said. "Now watch this." + +The ant ran to the bee and threw the leaf at it. The leaf hit the bee and made it fall. The bee was surprised and angry. It flew away, buzzing loudly. + +Lily was happy. She picked up her doll and hugged it. She thanked the ant. + +"You are welcome, Lily," the ant said. "You are a good friend. Can I play with your doll now?" + +Lily smiled. She gave the ant her doll. They played together in the garden. They were very happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to act and sing. They joined a play at school and practiced every day. Tom was the king and Lily was the queen. They had to wear crowns and robes and stand on a stage. + +But Tom and Lily were not happy. They always complained about everything. They complained that the stage was too small, the crowns were too heavy, the robes were too hot, and the songs were too difficult. They made the teacher and the other children sad and angry. + +One day, before the show, Tom and Lily got sick. They had a fever and a sore throat. They could not act or sing. They had to stay at home and rest. They missed the play and felt very sorry. + +They watched the play on a video and saw how well the other children did. They saw how much fun they had and how much the audience clapped and cheered. They realized that they had been very foolish and ungrateful. They wished they had been more positive and cooperative. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that complaining does not help, but only makes things worse. They learned that acting and singing are gifts that they should enjoy and share. They learned that being on a stage is not easy, but also not difficult, if they do their best and have fun. They decided to be more thankful and happy next time. +Sara and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll that she loves very much. She takes care of her doll every day. She brushes her hair, dresses her in pretty clothes, and sings to her. Tom has a truck that he likes to zoom around the floor. He makes loud noises with his mouth and pretends that his truck is very fast and strong. + +One day, Tom sees Sara's doll and wants to play with it. He grabs the doll from Sara's arms and runs away. Sara cries and chases after him. + +"Give me back my doll!" Sara shouts. "She is mine! She is not for you!" + +Tom laughs and says, "No, she is mine now! I want to see how fast she can go!" He throws the doll in the air and catches her. He does not care that the doll is fragile and can break. + +Sara is very sad and angry. She runs to Tom and tries to take the doll back. But Tom is bigger and stronger than Sara. He pushes her away and says, "Go away! You can't have her!" + +Sara falls to the ground and hurts her knee. She cries louder and louder. She feels alone and scared. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees Sara crying and Tom holding the doll. She is not happy with what she sees. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Mom asks. "Why did you take Sara's doll? Why did you hurt her?" + +Tom looks at Mom and feels ashamed. He knows he did something bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to play with the doll. I didn't mean to hurt Sara." + +Mom says, "Tom, you have to be more careful with other people's things. The doll is not yours. It is Sara's. She loves her doll very much. She takes care of her doll every day. You have to respect that. And you have to be gentle with the doll. She is fragile and can break. How would you feel if someone took your truck and threw it around?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He loves his truck very much. He takes care of his truck every day. He would be very sad and angry if someone took his truck and threw it around. He says, "I would feel bad, Mom. I would not like that at all." + +Mom says, "Then you should not do that to Sara and her doll. You should say sorry to Sara and give her back her doll. And you should hug her and make her feel better." + +Tom nods and says, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry, Sara. Here is your doll. I won't take her again. Can I hug you and make you feel better?" + +Sara looks at Tom and sees that he is sorry. She wipes her tears and says, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. You can hug me and make me feel better." + +Tom and Sara hug each other and smile. Mom smiles too. She is proud of them for learning to share and care. She says, "That's very good, Tom and Sara. I love you both very much. Now, why don't you play nicely together? You can take turns with your toys and have fun." + +Tom and Sara agree and say, "Okay, Mom. We love you too. We will play nicely together." + +They pick up their toys and start to play. They take turns with the doll and the truck. They make funny noises and pretend that they are friends. They are happy and have fun. Mom watches them and feels happy too. She thinks, "They are mine. And I will take care of them every day." +Tom was a wealthy man who had a big house and many cars. He liked to speed on the road and make loud noises with his cars. He did not care about other people or animals who lived near him. + +One day, he saw a big tree in front of his house. He did not like the tree because it blocked his view and made shade. He decided to cut down the tree with his axe. He took his axe and went to the tree. + +But the tree was not alone. It had a family of birds who lived in its branches. The birds saw Tom with his axe and got scared. They flew out of the tree and started to peck at Tom's head and face. They made loud noises and tried to stop him. + +Tom was surprised and angry. He tried to swing his axe at the birds, but he missed. He dropped his axe and ran back to his house. He had many cuts and bruises on his head and face. He felt pain and fear. + +The birds flew back to the tree and thanked it for protecting them. They hoped that Tom would leave them alone and learn to be kind. The tree was happy and proud. It gave shade and shelter to the birds and other animals. It did not care about Tom or his cars. +Lila and Max were playing in the park. They liked to bounce on the big trampoline. They jumped high and low, and laughed a lot. + +"Look at me, Lila!" Max said. "I can bounce like a superhero!" + +He bounced very high and pretended to fly. He had a shield in his hand. It was his favorite toy. He used it to protect himself from bad guys. + +Lila smiled and bounced too. She wanted to be a superhero as well. She had a cape around her neck. It was her favorite dress. She used it to fly faster and farther. + +They bounced and bounced, until they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It ran towards them, barking and growling. It wanted to play, but it scared them. + +"Help, Lila!" Max shouted. "The dog is coming!" + +He held his shield in front of him. He hoped it would stop the dog. + +Lila grabbed his hand. She pulled him off the trampoline. They ran to the bench where their mom was sitting. They hid behind her. + +"Mom, mom, there is a big dog!" Lila said. "It chased us!" + +Their mom hugged them. She looked at the dog. It was wagging its tail. It was not a bad dog. It just wanted to have fun. + +"Don't worry, my little superheroes," their mom said. "The dog is not mean. It just wanted to bounce with you. But you did well to come to me. You are very brave." + +She gave them a kiss and a cookie. They felt better. They ate their cookie and watched the dog. It was bouncing on the trampoline. It looked happy. + +Lila and Max smiled. They were not scared anymore. They were just tired. They cuddled with their mom. They had a lot of fun. They liked to bounce. But they liked to rest too. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a spray bottle and a hose. They liked to spray water on the flowers and on each other. They laughed and ran around. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a rainbow!" Ben said. He held the hose up to the sun and sprayed water in the air. Lily saw the colors and clapped her hands. + +"Wow, Ben, that's so pretty!" Lily said. She wanted to try too. She took the spray bottle and ran to the hose. She turned on the water and sprayed it high. + +But Lily did not see that the hose was near the window. The water went through the window and into the kitchen. The water hit the stove, where Mom was cooking a meal. The water made the fire go big and loud. Mom screamed and jumped back. + +"Help! Help! Fire!" Mom shouted. She grabbed a towel and tried to put out the fire. Lily and Ben heard Mom and ran to the window. They saw the fire and the smoke. They were scared and sorry. + +"Mom, Mom, we're sorry, we didn't mean to!" Lily cried. Ben hugged her and said, "We have to be brave, Lily, we have to help Mom!" + +They ran to the door and tried to open it. But the door was locked. Mom had locked it when she went to the kitchen. She did not know that Lily and Ben were outside. She did not hear them knocking and calling. + +Lily and Ben were trapped in the garden. They could not get in. They could not help Mom. They could only watch the fire grow bigger and bigger. They cried and hoped that someone would come and save them. But no one came. The end. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they found a big box in the park. It was brown and had a hole on one side. + +"Look, a box!" Tom said. "Let's go inside!" + +"OK!" Sam said. They ran to the box and crawled through the hole. The box was dark and empty. + +"This is fun!" Tom said. "We can pretend this is our house!" + +"Or our spaceship!" Sam said. "We can fly to the moon!" + +They laughed and made noises like rockets. They had a lot of fun in the box. + +But then, a man came to the park. He was fat and angry. He saw the box and walked to it. He did not see Tom and Sam inside. + +"Hey, this is my box!" the man said. "Somebody stole it from my truck! I need it for my work!" + +He grabbed the box and lifted it up. He did not hear Tom and Sam scream. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Sam said. "We are in the box! Let us out!" + +But the man did not listen. He did not care. He threw the box in the back of his truck and drove away. + +Tom and Sam were scared and sad. They did not know where they were going. They did not know how to get out. They did not know the law. They did not fit in the box. They wished they never found the box. They wished they stayed with their moms. They cried and cried. The end. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many colors and shapes of blocks. + +"Look at my tower!" Ben said. He had used all the red blocks to make a tall tower. "It is the highest tower ever!" + +Lily looked at Ben's tower. She did not like it. She thought it was boring. She liked to use different colors and shapes. She had made a house with a roof and a door and a window. + +"Your tower is not good," Lily said. "It is only one color. My house is better. It has many colors and shapes." + +Ben felt angry. He did not like Lily's words. He thought his tower was good. He wanted to show Lily that his tower was better. + +He lifted his tower with both hands. He wanted to put it on top of Lily's house. He thought that would make his tower higher and better. + +But his tower was too heavy. He could not hold it. It fell down. It broke into many pieces. It also hit Lily's house. It made Lily's house fall down too. It broke into many pieces. + +Lily cried. She was sad. She liked her house. She did not want it to break. She looked at Ben. She was angry. She did not want him to break her house. + +"Why did you do that?" Lily asked. "You are a bad boy. You are a mean boy. You are an ignorant boy. You do not know how to play." + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to break Lily's house. He did not mean to make her cry. He looked at the blocks. They were all mixed up. He did not know how to fix them. + +"I am sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I did not want to break your house. I wanted to show you my tower. I thought it was good. But you did not like it. You said it was not good. You hurt my feelings." + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She saw that he was sad. She thought about her words. She realized that they were not nice. She realized that she hurt his feelings too. + +"I am sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I did not want to hurt your feelings. I wanted to show you my house. I thought it was good. But you did not like it. You said it was boring. You hurt my feelings too." + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt bad. They did not want to fight. They wanted to play. They wanted to be friends. + +"Can we be friends again?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, we can," Lily said. + +They hugged each other. They smiled. They decided to play together. They decided to use all the blocks. They decided to make something new. They decided to be nice to each other. + +They did not need a judge. They did not need to be ignorant. They needed to be kind. They needed to have fun. They needed to share. They needed to learn. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Ben wants to go on the slide. Mia is scared. She says, "The slide is too high. I don't want to go." + +Ben says, "Don't be scared. The slide is fun. I will show you how to go." He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top and smiles. He says, "Look, Mia. It is easy. Just sit and slide." + +Mia watches Ben. She thinks, "Maybe I can try." She walks to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top and looks down. She feels scared again. She says, "Ben, I can't do it. It is too high. I want to go down." + +Ben says, "No, Mia. You can do it. Just slide. It is fun. I will catch you." He stands at the bottom and waits. + +Mia tries to slide. But she slides too fast. She screams. She hits Ben. They both fall down. They get hurt. They cry. + +A lady comes to help them. She says, "Are you okay? What happened?" Ben and Mia tell her what happened. The lady says, "You should not go on the slide if you are scared. You should listen to your feelings. And you should not push your friend to do something they don't want to do. You should be kind and respectful. That is how you can be good friends." + +Ben and Mia say, "We are sorry. We learned our lesson. We will be kind and respectful to each other. And we will listen to our feelings." They hug each other and say, "We are still friends." The lady smiles and says, "That is good. Now, let me take you to the nurse. She will make you feel better." She takes them to the nurse. The nurse gives them band-aids and ice packs. She says, "You will be okay. Just be careful next time." Ben and Mia say, "Thank you, nurse. We will be careful." They go back to the park. They play with other toys. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily and Ben liked to feed them bread crumbs.

You scared the fierce swan away." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, my loves. Now, let's go and find some nice ducks and swans to feed. But remember, don't get too close to them. And don't rub their feathers. They don't like that." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "OK, Mom. We will be careful. We love you, Mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, my loves.

They want to play with each other. They go back to the swings and the slide. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to ride their bikes in the park. One day, they see a big truck with ice cream. They want to buy some ice cream. + +"Can we have ice cream, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but you have to use your manners and pay with your own money," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They ride their bikes to the truck. They see a man with a hat and a smile. He is the ice cream man. + +"Hello, what can I get for you?" he asks. + +"I want a cone with chocolate and vanilla," Lily says. + +"I want a cup with strawberry and banana," Ben says. + +"Good choices. That will be two dollars each," the ice cream man says. + +Lily and Ben give him their money. He gives them their ice cream. They say thank you. + +"Enjoy your ice cream, and be careful on your bikes," the ice cream man says. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They lick their ice cream and ride their bikes. They see a girl who falls off her bike. She cries and has a scrape on her knee. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asks. + +"It hurts," the girl says. + +"Here, have some of my ice cream. It will make you feel better," Ben says. He gives her his cup. + +"Thank you. You are very helpful," the girl says. + +Lily and Ben smile. They help the girl get up and find her mom. They make a new friend. They ride their bikes together and share their ice cream. They have a fun day in the park. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his cars and trucks. He had many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. But when it was time to go to bed, he did not like to put them away. He wanted to keep playing with them. + +"Tom, it is bedtime. Put your cars and trucks in the box and brush your teeth," his mom said. + +"No, I want to play more!" Tom said. He did not listen to his mom. He kept playing with his cars and trucks. + +"Tom, if you do not put your cars and trucks away, you will have a nightmare," his mom said. She was not happy with Tom. + +"I do not care. I do not have nightmares. I have fun dreams," Tom said. He still did not listen to his mom. He kept playing with his cars and trucks. + +His mom sighed and left him alone. She hoped he would change his mind and go to bed soon. + +But Tom did not go to bed soon. He played with his cars and trucks until he was very tired. He fell asleep on the floor, surrounded by his cars and trucks. + +That night, he had a nightmare. He dreamed that his cars and trucks came to life and chased him. They had big teeth and scary eyes. They wanted to bite him and hurt him. They made loud noises and moved fast. Tom was very scared. He ran and ran, but he could not escape them. + +He woke up with a scream. He was sweating and shaking. He noticed that his cars and trucks were still on the floor. He did not like them anymore. He wanted to get away from them. + +He ran to his mom's room and knocked on the door. His mom opened the door and saw him. She was worried. + +"Tom, what is wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom, I had a nightmare. The cars and trucks were bad. They chased me and wanted to bite me. I am sorry, mom. I should have listened to you. I should have put them away and gone to bed," Tom said. He was crying and hugging his mom. + +"It is okay, Tom. I am here. You are safe. The cars and trucks are not bad. They are just toys. They cannot hurt you. They were only in your dream. But you learned a lesson. Next time, you will put them away and go to bed on time, right?" she said. + +"Yes, mom, I will. Can I sleep with you tonight? I do not want to go back to my room. I am still scared," Tom said. + +"Of course, Tom. You can sleep with me tonight. But tomorrow, you will clean up your room and put your cars and trucks in the box. And you will say sorry to them, too. They are your friends, not your enemies. They just want to play with you, not to scare you," she said. + +"Okay, mom. I will. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom," Tom said. + +"I love you, too, Tom. Now, let us go to sleep. No more nightmares, only sweet dreams," she said. + +She took him to her bed and tucked him in. She kissed him good night and turned off the light. Tom felt safe and warm. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He did not have any more nightmares. He only had fun dreams. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play games. One day, they went to a restaurant with Mom and Dad. The restaurant was very noisy. There were many people talking and laughing. There were also pots and pans clanging in the kitchen. + +Tom and Lily sat at a table and looked at the menu. They saw pictures of food. They wanted to eat pizza and ice cream. But Mom and Dad said they had to eat something healthy first. They had to eat salad and chicken. + +Tom and Lily did not like salad and chicken. They made faces. They whispered to each other. + +"I dare you to throw your salad at that man," Tom said to Lily. He pointed at a man wearing a suit and a tie. + +"No, I dare you to throw your chicken at that lady," Lily said to Tom. She pointed at a lady wearing a dress and a hat. + +They giggled. They picked up their forks. They aimed at the man and the lady. + +But before they could throw their food, Mom and Dad saw them. They stopped them. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. + +"That is very rude and naughty," Dad said. + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed. They said sorry to Mom and Dad. They said sorry to the man and the lady. They ate their salad and chicken. They did not get pizza and ice cream. They learned their lesson. They did not dare to throw food again. +Lily and Ben are playing with a big red ball in the park. They like to bounce the ball and catch it. Sometimes they bounce the ball very high and it makes a loud noise when it lands. Lily and Ben laugh and clap their hands. + +But one day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball and wants to play too. He runs after the ball and barks. He is faster than Lily and Ben and he catches the ball in his mouth. He bites the ball and it pops. The ball makes a sad noise and goes flat. + +Lily and Ben are very sad. They cry and say, "Bad dog! Give us our ball back!" But the dog does not listen. He runs away with the ball in his mouth. + +A man sees what happens and comes to help. He is wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He is a serious man. He says, "I am sorry, children. That is my dog. He likes to play, but he does not know how to share. He is a naughty dog. I will buy you a new ball." + +Lily and Ben stop crying and say, "Thank you, sir. You are very kind. Can we play with your dog? Maybe we can teach him how to share." + +The man smiles and says, "Yes, you can. But be careful. He is a big dog and he likes to bounce too." He gives them a new ball and a leash. He says, "His name is Spot. He is a good dog, but he needs to learn some manners." + +Lily and Ben take the leash and the ball and go to play with Spot. They bounce the ball and throw it for Spot. Spot chases the ball and brings it back. He learns how to share and be gentle. Lily and Ben are happy and so is Spot. They have fun in the park. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, join me on the slide. It is fun!" Anna says. + +"No, thank you. The slide is too high and too fast. I will wait here," Ben says. + +Anna goes on the slide. She slides down and laughs. She does it again and again. Ben watches her and feels lonely. + +Anna sees Ben's sad face. She has an idea. She runs to Ben and shows him her pocket. + +"Look, Ben, I have a surprise for you. It is perfect for you," Anna says. + +She opens her pocket and takes out a small toy car. It is red and shiny. Ben loves cars. + +"Wow, Anna, thank you! This is a nice car. Can I play with it?" Ben says. + +"Of course, Ben. It is for you. And you can play with it on the slide. It will go zoom, zoom, zoom!" Anna says. + +Ben smiles. He takes the car and follows Anna to the slide. He puts the car on the slide and lets it go. It slides down and makes a noise. Ben laughs. He does it again and again. Anna joins him and they play together. + +They have a lot of fun on the slide. They are happy friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They jog and jump and laugh. They see a big wall with paint on it. The paint is many colors. It is wide and pretty. + +"Wow, look at the paint!" Lily says. "It is like a rainbow!" + +"Can we paint too?" Ben asks. He sees a can of paint and a brush on the ground. He picks them up. + +"Maybe we can," Lily says. "But we have to be careful. The paint is not ours." + +Ben does not listen. He runs to the wall with the paint and the brush. He starts to paint on the wall. He paints a big sun and a smiley face. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily says. "That is not nice. You are making the wall dirty. The paint is not yours." + +But Ben does not stop. He paints more and more. He laughs and says, "This is fun!" + +Then a man comes. He is angry. He is the owner of the paint and the wall. He sees Ben painting on his wall. He shouts, "Hey, you! What are you doing? You are ruining my wall! You are a bad boy!" + +He grabs Ben by the arm. He takes the paint and the brush from him. He scolds him. He says, "You have to pay for this. You have to clean this. You have to say sorry." + +Ben is scared. He cries. He says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to paint." + +Lily is sad. She says, "I'm sorry too. We did not mean to be bad." + +The man is still angry. He says, "You have to come with me. I have to call your parents. They have to know what you did." + +He takes Ben and Lily with him. He calls their parents. Their parents are angry too. They come to the park. They see the wall. They see the paint. They see Ben and Lily. + +They say, "You are in big trouble. You have to go home. You have to be punished. You have to learn your lesson." + +Ben and Lily go home with their parents. They are not friends anymore. They are not happy anymore. They are sorry. They wish they did not paint on the wall. They wish they listened to Lily. They wish they were careful. The end. +Lily and Max were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box full of toys and pretended it was their treasure. Lily was the captain and Max was her mate. + +"Arrr, matey, we have the best treasure in the world!" Lily said, holding up a shiny diamond necklace. "No one can take it from us!" + +But then they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the big dog from next door. He had jumped over the fence and was running towards them. He wanted to play, but he looked scary to Lily and Max. + +"Help, help, it's a sea monster!" Max cried, dropping his sword and hiding behind the box. + +"Shoo, shoo, go away!" Lily shouted, waving her hat at Rex. But Rex did not listen. He wagged his tail and jumped on the box, knocking it over. Toys and jewels spilled everywhere. Rex picked up the diamond necklace in his mouth and ran away. + +"Hey, that's our treasure!" Lily yelled, chasing after Rex. "Give it back, you naughty dog!" + +But Rex was too fast and too lazy. He ran to his doghouse and lay down, chewing on the necklace. He did not care about Lily and Max. He only cared about his new toy. + +Lily and Max followed Rex to his doghouse. They saw him with the necklace and felt sad and angry. + +"Please, please, give us our treasure back!" Lily begged, reaching out her hand. "We worked hard to find it!" + +But Rex growled and showed his teeth. He did not want to share. He did not want to surrender. + +Lily and Max did not know what to do. They could not fight Rex. He was too big and strong. They could not trick Rex. He was too smart and stubborn. They could only hope that Rex would get bored of the necklace and drop it. + +But Rex did not get bored. He liked the necklace too much. He kept it in his mouth and fell asleep. + +Lily and Max sighed and went back to their garden. They had lost their treasure. They had lost their game. They had learned a hard lesson. + +Sometimes, pirates have to surrender. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tunnel under a hill. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. + +"Let's go in the tunnel!" said Lila. "Maybe we will find something fun!" + +"OK!" said Tom. "But we have to be careful. It might be dark and scary." + +They ran to the tunnel and crawled inside. It was dark and cold. They could not see anything. They heard strange noises. + +"What is that?" asked Lila. "Is it a monster?" + +"I don't know," said Tom. "Maybe it is a rat or a snake." + +They were scared. They wanted to go back. But they did not know which way was the exit. They were lost. + +They cried and shouted for help. But no one heard them. They were in the tunnel for a long time. + +Meanwhile, a man was walking his dog in the park. He heard some noises from the tunnel. He went to check. He saw two small children inside. He called them. + +"Hey, kids! Are you OK? Do you need help?" + +"Yes, please!" said Lila and Tom. "We are stuck in the tunnel. We can't find the way out." + +The man reached his hand and pulled them out. They were happy and relieved. They hugged the man and thanked him. + +"You are very brave, kids," said the man. "But you are also very foolish. You should not go in the tunnel. It is dangerous and dirty. You could get hurt or sick. You should always stay in the safe and bright places." + +Lila and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They never went in the tunnel again. They played in the park with the man and his dog. They had fun and they gained a new friend. +Anna and Ben are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They are very happy. They have to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Anna likes to pack her yellow dress and her doll. Ben likes to pack his blue shirt and his car. + +"Anna, can you help me pack this chair?" Ben asks. He wants to bring the chair to Grandma and Grandpa's house. It is a small chair that he can sit on and read books. + +"OK, Ben. But why do you want to pack the chair?" Anna asks. She thinks the chair is too big for the bag. + +"Because it is my favorite chair. And Grandma and Grandpa don't have a chair like this. I want to show them," Ben says. He loves his chair. It is red and green and has a picture of a lion on it. + +"But Ben, the chair will not fit in the bag. And it is too heavy to carry. And maybe Grandma and Grandpa have other chairs that you can use," Anna says. She tries to make Ben change his mind. + +"No, Anna. I want to pack the chair. Please help me," Ben says. He does not want to leave his chair behind. + +Anna sighs. She loves her brother, but sometimes he is very stubborn. She decides to help him pack the chair. She finds a big box and puts the chair inside. Then she tapes the box and writes "Ben's chair" on it. She hopes that Grandma and Grandpa will like Ben's chair. And she hopes that Ben will share his chair with her. +Lily loved to bake with her mom. They would mix flour, eggs, butter and sugar in a big bowl. Then they would add chocolate chips and make cookies. Lily liked to lick the spoon and taste the dough. + +One day, Lily wanted to surprise her mom and bake cookies by herself. She got the bowl, the spoon and the ingredients from the cupboard. She tried to remember how to mix them. She put some flour, some eggs, some butter and some sugar in the bowl. Then she looked for the chocolate chips. + +She could not find them. She saw a big bar of chocolate on the table. She thought it was the same as chocolate chips. She broke it into pieces and put them in the bowl. She stirred everything with the spoon. It looked messy and sticky. + +She put the bowl in the oven and turned it on. She waited for the cookies to be ready. She was proud of herself. She wanted to make her mom happy. + +But something was wrong. The oven started to smoke. The bowl started to melt. The chocolate started to burn. It smelled bad. Lily was scared. She ran to get her mom. + +Her mom came and saw the mess. She turned off the oven and took out the bowl. It was ruined. The cookies were ruined. The chocolate was ruined. Lily was sad. She started to cry. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You tried to be helpful and make cookies for me. That was very sweet of you. But you need to ask me before you use the oven. And you need to use chocolate chips, not a chocolate bar. They are different. Next time, we will bake together, okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. Let's clean up this mess and then we can have some ice cream. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled and said, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you." + +They cleaned up the mess and then they had some ice cream. They put some chocolate syrup on top. It was yummy. Lily was happy. She learned a lesson. She still loved to bake with her mom. But she never used a chocolate bar again. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the yard. Tom had a big red truck that he liked to push around. Lily had a small yellow car that she liked to zoom around. + +"Let's race!" Tom said to Lily. "My truck is faster than your car!" + +"Okay!" Lily said. "But where do we race?" + +Tom looked around and saw a long path that led to the gate. "How about there?" he suggested. "We start here and finish at the gate." + +Lily nodded. "That sounds fun. But we have to be careful. The path is bumpy and there are rocks and sticks." + +Tom and Lily lined up their toys at the start. They counted to three and then pushed them as hard as they could. The truck and the car rolled down the path, bouncing and rattling. + +Tom's truck was bigger and heavier than Lily's car. It went faster at first, but then it hit a big rock and flipped over. Tom gasped and ran after it. + +Lily's car was smaller and lighter than Tom's truck. It went slower at first, but then it dodged the rocks and sticks and kept going. Lily smiled and followed it. + +Lily's car reached the gate first. Lily cheered and picked it up. "I won! I won!" + +Tom reached the gate second. He saw his truck upside down and scratched. He frowned and picked it up. "You won. You won." + +Lily saw Tom's sad face and felt sorry for him. She hugged him and said, "Don't be sad, Tom. Your truck is still a good truck. It is big and red and reliable. It just had bad luck today." + +Tom hugged Lily back and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Your car is a good car. It is small and yellow and fast. It just had good luck today." + +Tom and Lily smiled and decided to play something else. They put their toys in a basket and went to the swing. They had fun together and forgot about the race. They were happy. +Sara and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and clothes on the floor. Their mom said they had to organize their things before dinner. Sara and Tom did not like to organize. They liked to play. + +"Let's pretend we are dead," Tom said. "Then mom will not make us organize." + +"OK," Sara said. "How do we pretend we are dead?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He said, "We lie on the floor and close our eyes and do not move. We use pillows to cover our faces. Then mom will think we are dead and leave us alone." + +Sara and Tom did what Tom said. They lay on the floor and closed their eyes and did not move. They used pillows to cover their faces. They waited for mom to come. + +Mom came to their room. She saw Sara and Tom on the floor with pillows on their faces. She was not fooled. She knew they were pretending. She said, "Sara and Tom, I know you are not dead. You are just being silly. You have to organize your things before dinner. If you do not, you will not get any dessert." + +Sara and Tom heard mom's voice. They did not want to miss dessert. They opened their eyes and moved the pillows. They said, "Sorry, mom. We will organize our things now." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I will help you. Organizing can be fun if we do it together." + +Sara and Tom smiled too. They got up and started to organize their things with mom. They put their toys in the toy box, their books on the shelf, and their clothes in the closet. They found some things they had forgotten or lost. They had fun organizing their room. They finished before dinner. Mom was proud of them. She said, "You did a great job. Now you can have dessert. What do you want?" + +Sara and Tom said, "Ice cream!" + +Mom said, "OK. Let's go to the kitchen and get some ice cream. But first, put your pillows on your bed." + +Sara and Tom did what mom said. They put their pillows on their bed. They followed mom to the kitchen. They got some ice cream and ate it happily. They were glad they organized their room. They learned that pretending to be dead was not a good idea. They decided to play something else next time. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big fence. The fence is important. It keeps the children safe from the road. + +One day, Tom and Sue see a big ball on the other side of the fence. The ball is red and shiny. They want to play with the ball. + +"Let's go get the ball," Tom says. + +"But we can't," Sue says. "The fence is too high. And mom said we should not go near the road." + +"Don't worry," Tom says. "I have a plan. I can climb the fence. You can hold my hand. Then we can get the ball and come back." + +Sue is scared. But she trusts Tom. He is her friend. She holds his hand. + +Tom starts to climb the fence. He is strong and brave. He reaches the top of the fence. He sees the ball. He smiles. + +But then, something bad happens. A big car comes on the road. It is fast and loud. It does not see Tom and Sue. It hits the fence. + +The fence shakes and breaks. Tom and Sue fall down. They scream. They hurt. They cry. + +Mom and dad hear the noise. They run to the park. They see Tom and Sue on the ground. They are sad and angry. + +"Why did you do that?" mom asks. "Why did you climb the fence? You know it is dangerous. You know it is important to stay inside the park." + +Tom and Sue are sorry. They made a big mistake. They did not listen to mom. They did not respect the fence. They learned a hard lesson. They will never do that again. +Lila and Sam were playing with bubbles in the park. They had a big bottle of soap and a wand. They blew many bubbles in the air. Some were big, some were small, some were round, some were not. + +"Look, Sam, a green bubble!" Lila said, pointing at a bubble that shone in the sun. "It is so pretty!" + +Sam nodded. He wanted to catch the green bubble. He ran after it, holding out his hand. He was very careful not to pop it. He almost touched it, when a bird flew by. The bird split the bubble with its wing. The green bubble was gone. + +"Oh no!" Sam cried. He was sad. He liked the green bubble. + +Lila ran to him and hugged him. "It's okay, Sam. We can make more bubbles. Maybe we can find another green one. Or a blue one. Or a pink one. Bubbles are fun!" + +Sam smiled. He hugged Lila back. "You are right, Lila. Bubbles are fun. And you are my best friend." + +They went back to their bottle and wand. They blew more bubbles in the air. They laughed and chased them. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. There is a big bridge in the park. The bridge goes over a pond. Lily and Ben like to look at the fish and the ducks in the pond. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the park with their mom. They run to the bridge and climb on it. They see a big duck swimming in the pond. The duck has a yellow beak and a green head. Lily and Ben think the duck is pretty. + +"Hello, duck!" Lily says. "Do you want some bread?" + +The duck hears Lily and swims to the bridge. It quacks loudly. Lily and Ben laugh. + +"Mom, can we give the duck some bread?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, but only a little bit," Mom says. "Too much bread is not good for the duck." + +Mom gives Lily and Ben a small piece of bread each. They break the bread into smaller pieces and throw them to the duck. The duck eats the bread and quacks happily. + +"Thank you, duck!" Lily says. + +"You're welcome, kids!" the duck says. + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They did not know the duck can talk. + +"How can you talk, duck?" Ben asks. + +"I am a clever duck," the duck says. "I learned to talk from the people in the park. They order me to do things, like swim or fly or quack. I listen and I learn." + +"Wow, you are a clever duck!" Lily says. "Can you do a trick for us?" + +"Sure, what do you want me to do?" the duck asks. + +"Can you flap your wings and spin in the air?" Ben asks. + +"Okay, watch me!" the duck says. + +The duck flaps its wings and spins in the air. Lily and Ben clap and cheer. + +"That was amazing, duck!" Lily says. + +"Thank you, kids!" the duck says. "You are very nice. Do you want to be my friends?" + +"Yes, we want to be your friends!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Yay, I have new friends!" the duck says. "What are your names?" + +"I am Lily and this is Ben," Lily says. "We are twins." + +"I am Ducky," the duck says. "Nice to meet you, Lily and Ben." + +"Nice to meet you, Ducky," Lily and Ben say. + +They hug the duck and smile. Mom takes a picture of them. They are happy. They have a new friend. A clever duck. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big statue of a man with a hat and a coat. The statue was holding a stick that had a light on the end. Lily and Tom wanted to see the light. + +"Let's go and touch the light," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful," Tom said. + +They ran to the statue and climbed on it. They reached for the light, but it was very hot. It burned their hands and made them cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Tom shouted. + +The light was not a light. It was a fire. The fire was bad. It made the statue glow and smoke. The smoke was bad. It made Lily and Tom cough and choke. + +"Help, help, help!" Lily and Tom screamed. + +But no one heard them. The park was empty. The fire was big. It spread to the grass and the trees. The grass and the trees were bad. They made the fire bigger and hotter. + +Lily and Tom were trapped. They could not get down from the statue. They could not run away from the fire. They were scared and hurt. + +They hugged each other and closed their eyes. They wished they had never touched the light. They wished they had stayed away from the statue. They wished someone would come and save them. + +But no one came. The fire was too bad. It burned the statue and Lily and Tom. They stopped screaming. They stopped breathing. They stopped living. +Tom and Sue are playing in the park. They see a big hole in the ground. Tom says, "Look, a trap! Maybe there is something inside. I want to see." + +Sue says, "No, Tom, don't go near the trap. It is dangerous. You might fall in and get hurt. Come, let's play with the ball instead." + +But Tom does not listen to Sue. He runs to the trap and looks inside. He sees a shiny thing. He says, "Wow, a treasure! I want to get it." He reaches his hand into the hole. + +Suddenly, he feels something bite his hand. He screams, "Ow, ow, ow! Something bit me! Help, help!" + +Sue hears Tom's scream and runs to him. She sees a snake in the trap. The snake has Tom's hand in its mouth. Sue is scared, but she is brave. She picks up a stick and hits the snake. The snake lets go of Tom's hand and slithers away. + +Tom is crying and bleeding. Sue hugs him and says, "It's okay, Tom, I'm here. We need to go to the doctor. Come, let's go." + +They leave the trap and the park. They see their mom in the car. She is waiting for them. She sees Tom's hand and says, "Oh, no, what happened? Are you okay?" + +Sue says, "Mom, Tom was bitten by a snake in a trap. We need to go to the doctor." + +Mom says, "Oh, my poor Tom. Don't worry, we'll go to the doctor right away. You are very brave, Sue. You saved Tom." + +She drives them to the doctor. The doctor gives Tom a shot and a bandage. He says, "You are lucky, Tom. The snake was not poisonous. You will be fine. But you should not play with traps. They are not for children. They are for catching animals." + +Tom says, "I'm sorry, doctor. I was curious. I wanted to see the treasure. But it was not a treasure. It was a snake. I don't like snakes. I don't like traps. I won't play with them again." + +The doctor says, "That's good, Tom. You learned your lesson. Next time, listen to Sue. She is a good friend. She cares about you." + +Tom says, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, Sue. You are a good friend. You care about me. I love you." + +Sue says, "I love you too, Tom. You are my best friend. Let's go home and play with the ball." + +They hug and smile. They go home with their mom. They play with the ball. They are happy. They forget about the trap and the snake. They are distant memories. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. Sara has a doll and Tom has a car. They want to play together, but they need a new thing. + +"Let's go to the shop and buy a new thing," Sara says. + +"OK, but we don't have much money. We need a cheap thing," Tom says. + +They walk to the shop and look at the things. They see a ball, a book, a hat and a teddy bear. They like all the things, but they are not cheap. + +"Look, there is a cheap thing!" Sara says. She points to a box. The box is brown and has a hole. "It is only one coin. We can buy it." + +"What is in the box?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Sara says. + +They give the coin to the shopkeeper and take the box. They open it and find a surprise. Inside the box, there is a kitten. The kitten is black and white and has blue eyes. It meows and licks their faces. + +"Aww, it is so cute!" Sara says. + +"It is the best thing ever!" Tom says. + +They hug the kitten and name it Spot. They take it home and play with it. They are very happy. They have a new thing and a new friend. +Lily and Max are friends.
