She imagined a big green boat and a man wearing a green hat. She asked, “Do they really catch fish?†+ +Her dad chuckled and said, “Yes. They do. They go out on the boat, throw in the line and wait.

He spotted boxes full of old toys, knick knacks and memories from long ago. He found a vintage car and immediately began to play with it, driving it around the attic. + +But then, something else caught his eye. He saw a sparkle from the corner of the attic, and he wanted to know what it was.

Little Yellow had learned an important lesson: with hard work, you can do anything you set your mind to.

Little Yellow had always been yellow, but it used its determination to become the winner anyway. +John and his mother were standing in the kitchen. "What is for dinner, mum?" asked John. His mother nodded over to the table. John was not impressed. Some dull looking food was there, but nothing exciting. + +John crossed his arms. "No, that's not dinner," he said firmly. His mother laughed and said, "Yes, it's dinner! Now you need to stand up and eat it." John thought for a moment. Then he stood up and smiled. + +He took a bite, and it was still dull.

He puts the patch on the hole and glues it. Then he pumps air into the wheel. + +"There, it is done. Your bike is good again," Sam says. He is happy. + +"Wow, thank you, Sam. You are a great friend. You make it look easy," Tom says. He is grateful. + +They hug and smile. Then they ride their bikes together. They have fun. The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys together. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. They do not like to share. + +One Wednesday, their mom gave them a big puzzle. It had many pieces. Anna and Ben wanted to make the puzzle together. But they could not agree on where to start. Anna wanted to start from the corners. Ben wanted to start from the middle. + +"Let me have this piece!" Anna said. She pulled a piece from Ben's hand. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said. He pulled it back. + +They both pulled hard. The piece broke in half. They both cried. + +Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken piece and the puzzle. She was not happy. + +"Anna and Ben, you are being selfish. You do not care about the puzzle or each other. You only care about yourself. That is not nice. You need to learn to share and work together. Or you will not have any fun." + +She took the puzzle and put it away. She said they could not play with it until they said sorry and made up. + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They did not like to be separate. They missed the puzzle and each other. They said sorry and hugged. They asked mom to give them the puzzle again. They promised to share and work together. + +Mom smiled and gave them the puzzle. She helped them glue the broken piece. They started to make the puzzle from the corners and the middle. They had fun. They learned their lesson. +Tom was a boy who liked to talk to animals. He wanted to know what they did and how they felt. One day, he went to the beach with his mom and dad. He saw many animals there, like crabs, seagulls, and fish. + +He saw a big rock with many oysters on it. He wondered if the oysters could talk. He picked one up and said, "Hello, oyster. Can you talk to me?" + +The oyster did not say anything. It was closed tight. Tom tried to open it, but it was too hard. He asked his mom for help, but she said, "Oysters don't talk, Tom. They are not like us. They are very different." + +Tom was sad. He wanted to talk to the oyster. He put it back on the rock and said, "Sorry, oyster. I hope you are happy." + +Then he heard a small voice. It said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. I can talk, but only a little. I don't talk to many people, because they want to eat me. You are different. You are clever and curious. I like you." + +Tom was surprised. He looked at the oyster and saw that it had opened a little. He saw a shiny pearl inside. The oyster said, "This is my gift to you, Tom. A pearl of friendship. You can keep it and remember me." + +Tom was happy. He thanked the oyster and took the pearl. He showed it to his mom and dad. They were amazed. They said, "What a lucky boy you are, Tom. You found a talking oyster and a beautiful pearl. You are very clever and curious indeed." +Tom and Anna like to play in the backyard. They have a big box that they pretend is a rocket. They make noises like zoom and beep and blast off. They have fun flying to the moon and the stars. + +One day, they find a can in the corner of the yard. It has a picture of a car and some letters on it. Tom says, "Maybe this is fuel for our rocket. Let's try it." Anna says, "OK, but be careful. It might be dangerous." + +They open the can and pour some of the liquid into the box. It smells bad and makes them cough. They close the can and put it back. They get into the box and say, "Ready for takeoff!" + +But nothing happens. The box does not move or make any sounds. They wait and wait, but nothing changes. They are bored and sad. They say, "This is not fuel. This is junk. Our rocket is broken." + +Then they hear a loud voice from the house. It is their dad. He is angry. He says, "Who took my gas can? Who made this mess? Come here right now!" + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They are scared. They say, "Uh-oh. We are in trouble." They get out of the box and run to the house. They hope their dad will not be too mad at them. They discover that playing with gas is not a good idea. +Lily and Ben were sleeping in their tent. They liked camping with Mom and Dad. It was fun to roast marshmallows and sing songs. But at night, it was dark and scary. + +Lily heard a weird noise outside. It sounded like a big animal. She was afraid. She shook Ben and whispered, "Ben, Ben, wake up! There is something outside!" + +Ben opened his eyes and rubbed them. He heard the noise too. He grabbed his flashlight and turned it on. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will look." + +He unzipped the tent and peeked out. He saw a big shadow moving in the trees. He shone his flashlight at it. It was a bear! The bear growled and showed its teeth. + +Ben was scared. He zipped the tent back and said, "Lily, it's a bear! We have to tell Mom and Dad!" + +They crawled out of their sleeping bags and ran to the other tent. They yelled, "Mom, Dad, help! There is a bear outside!" + +Mom and Dad woke up and heard the noise too. They got out of their tent and saw the bear. They had a horn and a spray. They made a loud noise with the horn and sprayed the bear. The bear was startled and ran away. + +Mom and Dad hugged Lily and Ben and said, "It's okay, kids. The bear is gone. You are brave and smart. Let's go back to sleep." + +They all went back to their tents and cuddled. They felt safe and happy. They dreamed of nice things. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to pretend they were cops and robbers, chasing each other around the sofa and the table. Tom had a blue car and a badge, and Lily had a red car and a mask. + +"Stop, robber, stop!" Tom shouted, as he drove his car behind Lily's. "You are under arrest for stealing the cookies!" + +Lily laughed and sped up her car, trying to escape. "No, cop, no!" she replied, as she turned around the corner. "You can't catch me, I'm too fast!" + +Tom followed her, but he bumped into a chair and his car fell over. He frowned and picked it up, but then he saw something on the floor. It was a real cookie, half-eaten and crumbly. He smiled and grabbed it, forgetting about the chase. + +"Hey, what's that?" Lily asked, as she came back to see what happened. She saw the cookie in Tom's hand and her eyes widened. "That's my cookie! You stole it from me!" + +Tom shook his head and held the cookie close to his mouth. "No, it's mine! I found it here, it was available!" + +Lily pouted and reached for the cookie, but Tom moved away. They started to argue and tug at the cookie, until they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, what's going on here?" It was their mom, who came from the kitchen. She saw the mess they made and the cookie they fought over. She looked at them with a stern face. "Who took the cookie from the jar?" + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked at each other. They both knew they were in trouble, but they didn't want to tell the truth. They both pointed at each other and said, "He did it!" "She did it!" + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She took the cookie from their hands and threw it in the trash. "No one gets the cookie, because you both lied and broke the rules. Now, go to your rooms and think about what you did. And no more playing cops and robbers until you learn to share and be honest." + +Tom and Lily hung their heads and walked to their rooms. They felt sad and sorry, and wished they had not taken the cookie. They realized they had been bad cops and bad robbers, and they hoped Mom would forgive them. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to count the flowers and the bugs. Lily saw a snake under a rock. She was not afraid. She wanted to count the snake. + +"Look, Ben, a snake!" she said. "Let's count it!" + +Ben came closer and saw the snake. He was scared. He did not like snakes. He thought they were bad. + +"No, Lily, don't touch it!" he said. "Snakes can bite!" + +Lily did not listen. She reached out her hand to the snake. The snake was pink and shiny. It looked friendly. + +"Hello, snake," she said. "How many spots do you have?" + +The snake hissed and moved its head. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It was not friendly. It was angry. + +"Go away, snake!" Ben shouted. He threw a stick at the snake. The snake dodged the stick and slithered away. + +Lily and Ben ran back to the house. They were both scared and sad. They did not want to play with the snake anymore. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I'm okay," Lily said. "But I'm sorry, Ben. I should have listened to you. You were right. Snakes are bad." + +"It's okay, Lily," Ben said. "You didn't know. Next time, we'll be more careful. Let's play with something else. How about we count the stars?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She hugged Ben. They were friends again. They went inside and waited for the night. They wanted to count the stars. +Sara and her mom were going to fly on a big plane to visit grandma. Sara was very happy and excited. She packed her favorite toys and books in her small bag. Mom packed her clothes and other things in a big bag. + +They got in a car and drove to the airport. There were many people and cars there. Sara and mom had to wait in a long line to show their passports. A passport is a small book with your name and picture that tells who you are and where you can go. + +Sara held her mom's hand and looked around. She saw a man with a hat and a coat. He looked worried and nervous. He kept looking at his watch and his passport. He leaned on a wall and tried to hide his face. + +Sara was curious. She asked her mom, "Mom, why is that man so worried? What is he doing?" + +Mom looked at the man and frowned. She said, "Sara, I don't know. Maybe he is late for his plane. Or maybe he is doing something bad. We should stay away from him and be careful." + +Sara nodded. She did not want to talk to the man or go near him. She wanted to be safe and good. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, I love you. You are the best mom in the world." + +Mom smiled and kissed Sara. She said, "I love you too, Sara. You are the best daughter in the world. And you are very smart and brave. You know how to listen and ask questions. That is very important." + +They showed their passports to a nice lady who smiled and stamped them. Then they walked to their gate and boarded their plane. Sara and mom were ready for their adventure. + +The moral value of the story is: Be curious and ask questions, but also be careful and listen to your mom. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to eat oat for breakfast. Oat is warm and good. Mom makes oat for them every morning. + +One day, Mom is busy. She tells Lila and Ben to make oat by themselves. She shows them how to use the pot and the stove. She says, "Be careful. The stove is hot. Do not touch it. And do not spill the oat. It can make a mess." + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. We can do it." Mom goes to the phone. She has to talk to someone. + +Lila and Ben go to the kitchen. They get the pot and the oat. They put water and oat in the pot. They put the pot on the stove. They turn on the stove. They wait for the oat to cook. + +But then, they start to fight. Lila wants to stir the oat. She says, "I want to stir. It is my turn." Ben wants to stir too. He says, "No, it is my turn. You stirred yesterday." They pull the spoon from each other. They do not see the oat boiling over. + +The oat spills out of the pot. It makes a big mess. It lands on the stove. It makes a loud noise. It smells bad. It makes smoke. + +Mom hears the noise. She runs to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She sees the smoke. She is angry. She says, "What are you doing? You made a big mess. You could have burned the house. You are not careful. You are not listening. You are in trouble." + +Lila and Ben are scared. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were fighting. We did not see the oat. We did not mean to make a mess. We will clean it up. Please do not be mad." + +Mom sighs. She says, "I am glad you are sorry. But you have to be more careful. And you have to share. Fighting is not good. Oat is for eating, not for spilling. Now, help me clean up. And then, we will make new oat. And we will eat it together. And we will be nice to each other. Okay?" + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will be careful. We will share. We will be nice. We love you, Mom. And we love oat." They hug Mom. They help her clean up. They make new oat. They eat it together. It is warm and good. They are happy. +Tim had a loose tooth. He wiggled it with his tongue every day. He wanted it to fall out, so he could put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. He hoped the tooth fairy would give him a shiny coin or a toy. + +One day, he was eating an apple. He bit hard and felt a pop. His tooth came out with the apple! He was so happy. He ran to show his mom and dad. They smiled and hugged him. They said he was a big boy now. + +But when he looked at his tooth, he saw it was very small. He wondered if it would fit under his pillow. He tried to put it in his pocket, but it fell out. He tried to hold it in his hand, but he dropped it. He felt helpless. He did not want to lose his tooth. + +He asked his mom for help. She gave him a little box. She said it was for his tooth. She said the tooth fairy would find it easily. She helped him put his tooth in the box and close the lid. She said he could keep the box under his pillow. + +Tim felt better. He thanked his mom and gave her a kiss. He put the box under his pillow and went to bed. He dreamed of the tooth fairy and what she would bring him. He was happy. He had a loose tooth no more. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a long tail and a wet nose. The dog runs to Anna and Ben. It wants to play too. + +"Hello, doggy!" Anna says. She tries to pet the dog. But the dog is too excited. It jumps on Anna and knocks her down. Anna falls on the grass. She hurts her knee. It bleeds a little. Anna cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna says. "Go away, doggy! You are bad!" + +Ben sees Anna crying. He feels sorry for her. He runs to her and helps her up. He hugs her. He says, "Don't cry, Anna. I am here. You are brave." + +The dog sees Ben hugging Anna. It feels sorry too. It stops jumping. It sits on the ground. It wags its tail. It says, "Woof, woof, woof!" It means, "I am sorry, Anna. I am not bad. I just want to be your friend." + +Anna looks at the dog. She sees its big eyes and its wet nose. She sees its tail wagging. She thinks the dog is cute. She stops crying. She says, "It's okay, doggy. You didn't mean to hurt me. You are just playful." + +She pets the dog. The dog licks her hand. It says, "Woof, woof, woof!" It means, "Thank you, Anna. You are kind." + +Ben smiles. He says, "Look, Anna. The dog likes you. Can we play with the dog?" + +Anna nods. She says, "Yes, Ben. We can play with the dog. But be careful. The dog is big and strong. We are small and gentle." + +They play with the dog. They throw a ball and the dog fetches it. They run and the dog chases them. They laugh and the dog barks. They have fun. + +The dog is graceful. It runs fast and jumps high. It catches the ball in its mouth. It is happy. + +Anna and Ben are happy too. They hug the dog. They hug each other. They are friends. +Tom has a new drum. He likes to play it very loud. He invites his friend Ben to come and play with him. Ben likes drums too. + +But when Ben comes, he sees that Tom's drum is gray. Ben does not like gray. He likes red. He says to Tom, "Your drum is ugly. I want a red drum." + +Tom is sad and angry. He says to Ben, "My drum is not ugly. It is my drum. You are not nice. You can't play with my drum." + +Ben is sad and angry too. He says to Tom, "You are not nice either. You are selfish. You don't share your drum." + +They start to fight. They push and pull and shout. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes and sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says to them, "Stop fighting. You are both wrong. You should be kind and polite to each other. You should say sorry and make up." + +Tom and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and say, "We are friends." + +Mom smiles. She says to them, "That's better. Now you can play with the drum together. But not too loud, please." + +Tom and Ben nod. They play with the drum together. They take turns and make nice sounds. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sunflower that they watered every day. The sunflower was tall and yellow and healthy. It made them happy to see it. + +One day, Lily and Tom went to the garden and saw a big hole where the sunflower was. They were very sad and angry. They looked around and saw a rabbit running away with the sunflower in its mouth. + +"Hey, you bad rabbit! Give us back our sunflower!" Lily shouted. + +"No, it is mine now. It is yummy and crunchy and good for me." The rabbit said. + +Lily and Tom tried to chase the rabbit, but it was too fast and clever. It ran into the woods and disappeared. Lily and Tom could not find it or their sunflower. + +They went back to the garden and cried. They missed their sunflower very much. They wished they could remember how it looked and smelled and felt. But they could not. The rabbit had taken their sunflower and their memory. They were very unhappy. The end. +Lily and Sam were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish and crabs and shells. + +One day, they saw something new in the water. It was big and round and had long things hanging from it. It was a jellyfish. Lily and Sam wanted to touch it, but their mom said no. + +"Jellyfish can hurt you," she said. "They have stings on their long things. You have to stay away from them." + +Lily and Sam were sad. They wanted to see the jellyfish up close. They had an idea. They found a bucket and a net. They waited for the jellyfish to come near the shore. Then they scooped it up with the net and put it in the bucket. + +"Look, mom, we have a jellyfish!" they said. "We will store it in our room and play with it." + +Their mom was shocked. She saw the jellyfish in the bucket. It was old and gray and had holes in it. It was not alive. + +"That is not a jellyfish, children," she said. "That is a plastic bag. Someone threw it in the water and it looked like a jellyfish. You have to put it back in the water or in the trash. Plastic bags are bad for the water and the animals. They can make them sick or choke them." + +Lily and Sam were surprised. They looked at the plastic bag. It did not look like a jellyfish anymore. They felt sorry for the water and the animals. They did not want to hurt them. + +"Sorry, mom," they said. "We did not know. We will put it in the trash. We will not store plastic bags anymore. We will only store nice things, like shells and rocks and sand." + +Their mom smiled. She hugged them and said, "That is very good, children. You are very smart and kind. I am proud of you." +Sara was a big girl who liked to eat grapes. She had a lot of grapes in her bowl and she was happy. She saw Tom, a little boy who had no grapes. He looked sad and hungry. + +Sara wanted to share her grapes with Tom, but she was afraid he would take them all. She thought grapes were too good to give away. She hid her bowl behind her back and said, "No, these are my grapes. Go away!" + +Tom felt hurt and angry. He said, "You are mean and selfish. You don't know how to be a friend." He walked away and found a ball. He started to play with the ball and had fun. He bounced the ball and kicked the ball and threw the ball. He laughed and smiled. + +Sara watched Tom and felt lonely. She had no one to play with and no one to talk to. She realized that grapes were not as important as friends. She felt sorry and ashamed. She took her bowl and ran to Tom. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was wrong. You can have some of my grapes. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom was surprised and happy. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are kind and generous. You know how to be a friend." He took some of her grapes and gave her the ball. They started to play together and had fun. They bounced the ball and kicked the ball and threw the ball. They clapped and cheered. + +Sara and Tom learned a lesson. They learned that sharing is caring and that friends are more valuable than things. They became good friends and always shared their grapes and their ball. They were happy and grateful. +Sara was fearful of the dark. She did not like to sleep in her room when the night came. She hoped that her mom would stay with her until she fell asleep. But mom had to work late and dad was not home yet. Sara had to sleep alone. + +She hugged her teddy bear and turned on her night light. She tried to close her eyes and think of happy things. But she heard a scary noise outside. It sounded like a big dog barking. Sara was very afraid. She wanted to run to mom's room, but she was too scared to leave her bed. + +She remembered that dad had left his jacket on the couch. It was a big and warm jacket. It smelled like dad. Sara liked dad's jacket. She thought that maybe if she wore it, she would feel safer. She got out of bed and tiptoed to the living room. She grabbed dad's jacket and put it on. It was too big for her, but she did not mind. She felt dad's love in the jacket. + +She ran back to her room and jumped into her bed. She wrapped herself in dad's jacket and held her teddy bear. She felt less fearful now. She hoped that dad would come home soon and give her a hug. She hoped that mom would finish her work and come to kiss her goodnight. She hoped that the scary noise would go away. She hoped that she would have sweet dreams. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for insects. They saw ants, worms and beetles. They were happy and curious. + +"Look, Lily, what is this?" Tom said, holding a small, furry insect in his hand. It had six legs, two wings and a long tail. + +"I don't know, Tom. It is fuzzy and cute. Can I touch it?" Lily said, reaching for the insect. + +"Be careful, Lily. It might sting you." Tom said, pulling his hand away. + +Suddenly, the insect flew out of Tom's hand and entered a hole in the wall. Tom and Lily ran after it. They wanted to see where it went. + +They reached the hole and peered inside. It was dark and dusty. They could hear a buzzing sound. + +"Hello, insect. Where are you?" Tom said, trying to see the insect. + +"Buzz off, kids. This is my home. You are not welcome here." A voice said, sounding angry and loud. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know who was talking. They backed away from the hole. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked, trembling. + +"I am a bee. And this is my hive. There are many of us here. And we don't like intruders. Now go away, or we will sting you." The voice said, sounding fierce and mean. + +Tom and Lily ran away from the hole. They did not want to bother the bee or his friends. They learned that some insects are not friendly and that they should respect their homes. + +They went back to their garden and played with other insects. They were happy and curious again. +Lily and Ben love to go on the bus with Mom. They sit on the big seats and look out the window. They see cars, trees, shops, and people. Sometimes they wave to the people and the people wave back. + +One day, the bus stops at a red light. Lily and Ben see a big truck next to the bus. The truck has a picture of a lion on it. The lion looks fierce and strong. Lily and Ben are excited. They want to see the lion. + +"Mom, Mom, can we see the lion?" they ask. + +Mom smiles and says, "Maybe. The truck is going to the zoo. The zoo is where the animals live. Maybe we can go to the zoo later." + +Lily and Ben clap their hands. They love the zoo. They want to see the lion and the other animals. + +The light turns green and the bus moves again. The truck moves too. Lily and Ben watch the truck. They see the driver of the truck. The driver is a man. He has a hat and a beard. He looks fit and brave. He waves to Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben wave back. + +"Hello, driver!" they say. + +"Hello, kids!" the driver says. "Do you like the lion?" + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Ben say. "Can we see the lion at the zoo?" + +"Sure, you can!" the driver says. "The lion is very nice. He likes to roar and play. But don't get too close. He might bite!" + +Lily and Ben giggle. They are not afraid of the lion. They are excited to see the lion at the zoo. They thank the driver and say goodbye. The driver says goodbye too. He drives the truck to the zoo. Lily and Ben watch the truck until it is out of sight. Then they look at Mom. + +"Mom, can we go to the zoo now?" they ask. + +Mom nods and says, "Yes, we can. The bus will stop at the zoo soon. Are you ready to see the lion and the other animals?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, we are!" + +They hug Mom and wait for the bus to stop. They are very excited to go to the zoo. They hope the lion will roar and play for them. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play dress-up with their toys. They have many hats, scarves, and dresses. They pretend to be kings, queens, pirates, and fairies. + +One day, they find a big box in the attic. It is full of old clothes. They are very excited. They open the box and see many colors and patterns. They want to try them on. + +"Look at this hat!" Ben says. He puts on a red hat with a feather. "I am a brave soldier!" + +"And look at this dress!" Mia says. She puts on a purple dress with ruffles. "I am a beautiful princess!" + +They laugh and dance around the attic. They feel happy and silly. + +But then, they hear a noise. It is Ben's mom. She is coming up the stairs. She wants to see what they are doing. + +"Quick, hide!" Ben whispers. He and Mia jump into the box. They cover themselves with clothes. + +Ben's mom opens the door. She sees the box. She is curious. She walks over to the box. She lifts the lid. + +"Surprise!" Ben and Mia shout. They reveal themselves. They smile and wave. + +Ben's mom is surprised. She laughs. She sees their style. She thinks they are very creative. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. + +"We are playing dress-up!" Ben and Mia say. + +"That looks like fun!" Ben's mom says. "But you know, these clothes are very old. They belong to your grandma and grandpa. They wore them when they were young." + +"Really?" Ben and Mia say. They are amazed. They want to know more. + +"Yes, really!" Ben's mom says. She tells them stories about their grandma and grandpa. She shows them pictures. She says they were very adventurous and kind. + +Ben and Mia listen. They are interested. They think their grandma and grandpa are very cool. + +They decide to keep the clothes. They want to honor their grandma and grandpa. They want to play dress-up more often. + +They thank Ben's mom. They hug her. They say they love her. + +Ben's mom is happy. She loves them too. She says they can play dress-up anytime. But she also says they have to clean up the attic. She says they cannot be lazy. + +Ben and Mia agree. They say they will clean up later. They want to play dress-up a little longer. + +They put on different clothes. They pretend to be different characters. They have fun. They are happy. +Jack and Jill went to the woods to play. They saw a big pile of lumber near a hut. Jack said, "Let's build a fort with the lumber. It will be fun." + +Jill said, "No, Jack. That is not our lumber. It belongs to the man who lives in the hut. He will be angry if we take it." + +Jack said, "He is not here. He is gone. He will not know. You are stupid, Jill. Come on, help me." He grabbed a piece of lumber and dragged it to a clearing. + +Jill was scared, but she followed Jack. She did not want him to call her stupid again. She helped him stack the lumber into a fort. They made a door and a window. They went inside and pretended to be soldiers. + +They did not hear the man come back. He saw his lumber gone and his hut damaged. He was very angry. He followed the trail of lumber to the clearing. He saw the fort and heard the children inside. + +He shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing with my lumber? Get out of there, now!" + +Jack and Jill were startled. They ran to the door, but it was blocked by the lumber. They tried to push it, but it was too heavy. They looked for another way out, but there was none. + +The man came closer. He had a big axe in his hand. He swung it at the fort. The lumber cracked and splintered. Jack and Jill screamed. They were trapped. They were sorry. They wished they had listened to Jill. They wished they had not been stupid. +Ben and Mia are playing with their blocks. They like to build towers and bridges and houses. They also like to count how many blocks they have. + +"Look, I have ten blocks!" Ben says, holding up his tower. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" + +"Wow, that's a lot!" Mia says. "Can I touch your tower?" + +"Okay, but be careful. Don't make it fall!" Ben says. + +Mia reaches out and touches one of the blocks. It feels hard and smooth. She touches another block. It feels the same. She touches a third block. It feels different. It is soft and fuzzy. + +"Hey, this is not a block!" Mia says. "This is a sock!" + +Ben looks at his tower. He sees the sock. He laughs. + +"Oops, that's my sock!" he says. "I must have put it in the box by mistake. It is not a block. It is a sock!" + +Mia laughs too. She thinks it is funny. She takes the sock and puts it on her hand. She makes it talk. + +"Hello, I am a sock!" she says in a silly voice. "I like to count too. One, two, three, four, five toes!" + +Ben and Mia giggle. They think counting is fun. But counting socks is difficult. They prefer to count blocks. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big cardboard box that they pretend is a spaceship. They draw buttons and windows on the box with crayons. They put on their helmets and get inside the box. + +"Ready for blast off?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, let's go!" Anna says. + +They make loud noises with their mouths and shake the box. They pretend they are flying to the moon. They see stars and planets out of the windows. + +"Look, there is the moon!" Anna says. "It is big and white and round." + +"Let's land on the moon and explore!" Ben says. + +They stop the noises and the shaking. They open the box and get out. They see that the garden is covered with snow. It is very cold and white. + +"Wow, it is like the moon!" Anna says. + +They touch the snow and make snowballs. They throw them at each other and laugh. They make a snowman and a snowdog. They have fun. + +But then they hear their mom calling them. + +"Anna! Ben! Come inside, it is too cold!" Mom says. + +They run to the house. They are freezing. They take off their helmets and their coats. Mom gives them hot chocolate and cookies. They sit on the couch and warm up. + +"Did you have fun on the moon?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, it was brilliant!" Anna and Ben say. "We saw stars and planets and made a snowman and a snowdog!" + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She is happy they have such big imaginations. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a lot of trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Lily said. "Maybe we will find something fun!" + +"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But be careful. The hill is steep and the trees are thick." + +They held hands and started to climb. They pushed through the branches and leaves. They saw birds and squirrels and flowers. They were happy. + +But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw something scary. It was a giant. A very big and ugly giant. He had a long nose, a hairy face, and a dirty shirt. He was sleeping on the ground, snoring loudly. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily whispered. "A giant! He is so big and ugly!" + +"Shh, Lily!" Ben whispered back. "Don't wake him up! He might be angry and hurt us!" + +They tried to sneak past the giant, but they stepped on a twig. It made a loud snap. The giant opened his eyes and saw them. + +"Who are you?" he roared. "What are you doing here?" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They wanted to run away, but they were too close to the giant. He reached out his hand and grabbed them. + +"Please, Mr. Giant, don't eat us!" Lily cried. "We are just kids. We were playing in the park. We didn't mean to bother you!" + +"Yeah, Mr. Giant, please let us go!" Ben said. "We are sorry we woke you up. We will never come here again!" + +The giant looked at them. He saw their tears and heard their words. He felt sorry for them. He realized they were not bad, just curious. + +"I'm sorry, too," he said. "I didn't mean to scare you. I'm just lonely. I have no friends. Everyone runs away from me because I'm big and ugly." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry for him, too. They saw he was not mean, just sad. + +"Maybe we can be your friends," Lily said. "We don't care if you are big and ugly. We care if you are nice and kind." + +"Really?" the giant said. "You would be my friends?" + +"Sure," Ben said. "We like to play and talk and have fun. We can help you find more friends, too. Maybe there are other giants like you. Or maybe there are other animals or people who will like you." + +The giant smiled. He was happy. He let go of Ben and Lily and hugged them gently. + +"Thank you, Ben and Lily," he said. "You are very brave and sweet. You made me feel better. You are my first friends." + +Ben and Lily smiled, too. They were happy. They made a new friend. They helped the giant feel less lonely. They learned to not judge by looks, but by hearts. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a new doll. She loves her doll. Tom has a car. He likes his car. + +One day, Tom sees Lily's doll. He wants to play with it. He asks Lily, "Can I borrow your doll?" + +Lily says, "No, this is my doll. You have your car." + +Tom says, "But your doll is so pretty. My car is cheap. Please, let me borrow your doll." + +Lily says, "No, you can't. This is my secret. My mom gave me this doll for my birthday. She said it is special. You can't touch it." + +Tom is sad. He thinks Lily is mean. He says, "Fine, I don't want your doll. I don't want to be your friend." + +He runs away with his car. Lily is sad too. She hugs her doll. She thinks Tom is rude. She says, "Fine, I don't need your car. I don't need you." + +They don't talk to each other for a long time. They miss each other. They are lonely. + +One day, they see each other at the park. They look at each other. They don't say anything. They want to play, but they don't know how. + +Then, a dog comes. The dog is big and loud. The dog sees the toys. The dog runs to the toys. The dog grabs the doll and the car. The dog runs away with the toys. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They cry. They want their toys back. They chase the dog. They shout, "Stop, dog! Give us our toys!" + +The dog is faster. The dog is gone. The toys are gone. Lily and Tom are sad. They hug each other. They say, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. You are my friend. I love you." + +They go home. They tell their moms what happened. Their moms are sorry. Their moms say, "Don't worry. We will buy you new toys. You can share them. You can play together. You are good friends." + +Lily and Tom are happy. They thank their moms. They smile. They say, "Yes, we are good friends. We will share. We will play. We will have fun." +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big butterfly with many colors on its wings. It was flying from one flower to another. + +"Wow, look at that butterfly!" Lila said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we catch it?" Sam asked. "I want to see it up close." + +Lila nodded. They ran after the butterfly, trying to be quiet and gentle. They had a net and a jar to keep the butterfly safe. They followed the butterfly until it landed on a yellow flower. + +"Now!" Lila whispered. She swung the net over the butterfly and caught it. She carefully put it in the jar and closed the lid. + +"Yay, we did it!" Sam cheered. He took the jar and looked at the butterfly. It was flapping its wings and moving its antennae. + +"It is so soft and fuzzy," Lila said. She touched the jar gently. "Do you think it is happy?" + +Sam shrugged. He opened the lid a little and put his finger inside. He wanted to touch the butterfly too. + +"Sam, be careful!" Lila warned. "You might hurt it or scare it away." + +But Sam did not listen. He reached for the butterfly and tried to grab it. The butterfly did not like that. It flew out of the jar and landed on Sam's nose. + +"Ah, it tickles!" Sam cried. He tried to shake it off, but the butterfly stayed on his nose. It opened and closed its wings slowly. + +Lila laughed. She thought it was funny. She looked at the butterfly and said, "Hello, butterfly. Do you like Sam's nose? Does it taste good?" + +The butterfly did not answer. It just looked at Lila with its big eyes. Then it flew away, back to the flowers. + +"Bye, butterfly," Lila said. "Thank you for playing with us." + +Sam rubbed his nose. He felt a little sad. He wanted to keep the butterfly as a pet. + +"Can we catch another one?" he asked. + +Lila shook her head. She said, "No, Sam. Butterflies are not pets. They are free and wild. They need to fly and find food and friends. We can watch them and admire them, but we cannot keep them. They are not dependable like dogs or cats. They are beautiful and mysterious." + +Sam nodded. He understood. He said, "You are right, Lila. Butterflies are special. Maybe we can see them again another day." + +Lila smiled. She said, "Yes, maybe we can. But for now, let's go and play on the swings. I bet I can swing higher than you." + +Sam smiled too. He said, "No way, I can swing higher than you. Let's go and see." + +They ran to the swings, holding hands. They were still best friends. They loved to play and learn new things. They were happy and curious. They were like butterflies. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She was very organized. She put all the spoons in one drawer, all the cups in another, and all the bowls in a big cabinet. She knew where everything was. + +One day, mom asked Lily to help her make a cake. Lily was very excited. She loved cake. Mom gave her a big bowl and some eggs. She told Lily to crack the eggs and put them in the bowl. Lily did as she was told. She tapped the eggs on the counter and opened them carefully. She put the shells in the trash and the eggs in the bowl. + +"Good job, Lily," mom said. "Now, can you shake the bowl for me? We need to mix the eggs well." + +Lily nodded. She grabbed the bowl with both hands and started to shake it. She shook it hard and fast. She wanted to make the eggs very smooth. + +But she shook it too hard. The bowl slipped from her hands and fell on the floor. The eggs splashed everywhere. Lily gasped. Mom gasped. The kitchen was a mess. + +"Oh, Lily," mom said. "What happened?" + +Lily felt bad. She had made a mistake. She looked at mom with big eyes and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I shook the bowl too much." + +Mom smiled. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. Accidents happen. We can clean this up and start again. You are still my little helper. And I still love you very much." + +Lily smiled back. She loved mom too. She said, "I love you, mom. Can we still make the cake?" + +Mom nodded. She said, "Of course we can. But first, let's get a new bowl. And maybe shake it a little less." +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big train near the park. It is loud and fast. They want to see it closer. + +"Let's go to the rail!" Tom says. He runs to the rail. Mia follows him. + +The rail is thin and hard. It has rocks and wood around it. Tom and Mia stand on the rail. They look at the train. It is big and shiny. It has many cars and windows. + +"Choo choo!" Tom says. He pretends to be a train. He moves his arms and legs. + +Mia laughs. She pretends to be a train too. She moves her arms and legs. + +"Choo choo!" Mia says. + +They hear a loud horn. It is the real train. It is coming to them. It is very fast. + +"Tom, Mia, get off the rail!" a voice says. It is their mom. She is scared. She runs to them. + +Tom and Mia are scared too. They see the train. It is very close. They jump off the rail. They run to their mom. + +Their mom hugs them. She is angry and happy. She is angry because they were on the rail. She is happy because they are safe. + +"Tom, Mia, you scared me!" she says. "The rail is not for playing. The rail is for the train. The train is dangerous. You could get hurt. You have to be careful. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They are sorry. They hug their mom. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Tom says. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Mia says. + +Their mom kisses them. She is not angry anymore. She is glad. + +"Let's go back to the park," she says. "But stay away from the rail. OK?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They hold their mom's hand. They go back to the park. They play on the swing, the slide and the grass. They do not play on the rail. They do not scare their mom. They have fun. +Lily likes to feed her doll. She has a small spoon and a bowl of pretend food. She says, "Open wide, baby. This is good for you." She makes sure her doll eats all the food. She thinks her doll is very value. She loves her doll very much. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom. She sees a girl with a big teddy bear. The girl says, "This is my teddy. He is very value. He can talk and sing and dance." Lily thinks the teddy is very cool. She wants to play with the teddy. + +She asks the girl, "Can I feed your teddy? I have a spoon and a bowl." The girl says, "No, you can't. My teddy doesn't need food. He only needs batteries. And he is mine. Go away." Lily feels sad. She thinks the girl is not nice. + +She goes back to her mom and hugs her doll. She says, "Mom, I don't like that girl. She is mean. She doesn't share her teddy. She doesn't feed her teddy. She doesn't love her teddy." Her mom says, "Lily, I'm sorry you feel that way. But you know what? You have a very value doll. You feed her and care for her and love her. That makes you a very happy and kind girl. And I'm very proud of you." + +Lily smiles and kisses her doll. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are right. I have a very value doll. And I have a very value mom. I love you both very much." Her mom hugs her and says, "I love you too, Lily. You make me very happy." They both feel happy and go home. +Tim liked to jog with his dad. They jogged every day in the park. Tim had a marble that he loved. It was blue and shiny. He kept it in his pocket. + +One day, Tim and his dad jogged to a new place. There was a big hill. Tim wanted to jog up the hill. His dad said, "Wait for me, Tim. It is steep." But Tim did not wait. He jogged up the hill fast. + +Tim reached the top of the hill. He was happy. He took out his marble and looked at it. It sparkled in the sun. He smiled. He threw his marble in the air and caught it. He did it again and again. + +But then, Tim threw his marble too high. He missed it. His marble fell down the hill. It rolled and rolled. Tim ran after it. He shouted, "My marble! My marble!" But he could not catch it. His marble was gone. + +Tim was sad. He cried. He had lost his marble. He had lost his blue and shiny marble. He had lost his best thing. He was poor. He wished he had waited for his dad. He wished he had not jogged up the hill. He wished he had not thrown his marble. He wished he had his marble back. But it was too late. His marble was gone. And he was poor. +Tom and Lily were excited to go to the lake with their dad. They had a big raft that they could sit on and paddle. They wanted to see the fish and the ducks and the frogs. + +They put on their life jackets and climbed on the raft. Dad pushed them into the water and got on too. He gave them each a paddle and showed them how to use it. They moved slowly across the lake, gazing at the blue sky and the green trees. + +"Look, Lily, a duck!" Tom said, pointing at a brown bird with a green head. "Quack, quack!" Lily said, trying to imitate the duck. The duck swam closer to the raft, curious. Tom and Lily smiled and reached out their hands to touch it. + +"Be careful, kids," Dad said. "Don't scare the duck. It might bite you or fly away. Just watch it and be nice." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They wanted to be friends with the duck. They gazed at it with wonder and respect. They saw its shiny feathers, its orange beak, and its webbed feet. They heard its soft quacks and splashes. + +The duck seemed to like them too. It stayed near the raft for a while, swimming around and looking at them. Then it flapped its wings and flew away, leaving a trail of water behind. + +"Bye, duck!" Tom and Lily said, waving. "Thank you for visiting us!" + +Dad smiled and hugged them. "You did a good job, kids. You were gentle and polite with the duck. That's how you treat animals and nature. They are our friends, not our toys. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded again. They understood. They felt happy and proud. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to gaze with love and not with greed. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with tubes. They roll them, stack them, and make noises with them. They have fun with tubes. + +One day, Sam has to go away. His mom says they have to visit his grandma. Sam is sad. He does not want to leave Ben and his tubes. He says to Ben, "I will miss you and our tubes. Can you keep them for me?" + +Ben says, "Yes, I will keep them for you. But I will miss you too. When will you come back?" + +Sam says, "I don't know. Maybe in two sleeps. Or three. Or four. I hope not more." + +Sam and Ben hug. Sam gets in the car with his mom. He waves to Ben. Ben waves back. He watches the car go away. + +Ben feels lonely. He has no one to play with. He has the tubes, but they are not fun without Sam. He tries to roll them, stack them, and make noises with them. But he does not smile. He does not laugh. He just sighs. + +He wishes Sam would come back soon. He wants to share the tubes with him. He wants to hear his voice. He wants to see his face. He wants to be his friend. He misses Sam. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They used a big blanket as a sail and a broom as a sword. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily saw something shiny on the table. It was an ashtray that Mommy used to put her cigarettes in. Lily thought it looked like a treasure. She wanted to grab it and show Ben. + +She climbed on the couch and reached for the ashtray. But she was too small and the ashtray was too heavy. It slipped from her hand and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces and made a loud noise. + +Mommy heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken ashtray and the mess. She was very angry. She scolded Lily and Ben and told them to go to their room. She said they were naughty and careless. + +Lily and Ben felt very sad and sorry. They did not mean to break the ashtray. They did not know it was important to Mommy. They wished they had not touched it. They went to their room and cried. + +Later, Mommy came to their room. She hugged them and said she was sorry too. She said she loved them and she was not angry anymore. She said the ashtray was not a treasure, but a bad thing that made her sick. She said she was glad they did not hurt themselves with the sharp pieces. She said she wanted to quit smoking and be healthy for them. + +Lily and Ben felt better. They said they loved Mommy and they were sorry for breaking the ashtray. They said they did not want Mommy to smoke either. They said they wanted to help her quit. They gave her a kiss and a smile. + +Mommy smiled back. She said they were good and sweet. She said they could play pirates again, but not with the ashtray. She said she would find them a real treasure to play with. She said they were her treasure. +Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They have a big box that they pretend is a car. They drive the box around the grass and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +One day, they see a big lion in the park. The lion is not in a cage. It is free. The lion is powerful and scary. It has sharp teeth and claws. It roars at the people and the animals. Roar, roar, growl, growl! + +Tom and Anna are afraid of the lion. They want to leave the park. They get in their box and try to drive away. But the box is slow and the lion is fast. The lion runs after them and tries to catch them. Run, run, chase, chase! + +Tom and Anna see a man with a net. The man works for the zoo. He wants to catch the lion and take it back to the zoo. The man throws the net over the lion and stops it. The lion is angry and sad. It does not want to leave the park.

The man is kind and brave. He tells them to be careful and not to play near wild animals. Tom and Anna nod and agree. They get in their box and drive back to their home.

One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's go in the hole," Tim says. + +"No, it is scary," Sue says. "It is dark and dirty. We might get lost." + +"Come on, it will be fun," Tim says. "We can find treasure or animals or something." + +Tim goes in the hole. Sue follows him. They walk and walk in the underground. They see rocks and roots and bugs. They do not see treasure or animals. + +"Tim, I want to go back," Sue says. "I do not like it here." + +"Wait, look," Tim says. He points to a big, fat rat. The rat has red eyes and sharp teeth. It makes a loud noise. + +"Run!" Sue says. + +Tim and Sue run back to the hole. The rat chases them. They are scared. They reach the hole and climb out. They are safe. + +"Are you okay?" Tim asks. + +"Yes, I am okay," Sue says. "But I do not want to go in the hole again." + +"Me neither," Tim says. "That was not fun. That was scary." + +They hug each other. They go to the slide and swing and run. They are happy. They complete their play in the park. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like the big boy who was mean to them. He always took their toys and pushed them. He was not fair. + +One day, the big boy came to the park again. He saw Tim and Lily with a ball. He wanted the ball. He ran to them and said, "Give me the ball. It is mine now." + +Tim and Lily were scared. They did not want to give the ball. They said, "No, it is our ball. We found it. You cannot have it." + +The big boy got angry. He said, "You are silly. I am bigger and stronger than you. I can do what I want. I dare you to stop me." + +He reached for the ball. But Tim was brave. He held the ball tight. He said, "No, you are mean. You cannot do what you want. You have to be nice and share." + +The big boy tried to pull the ball. But Lily was brave too. She helped Tim. She put her shoulder against the big boy. She said, "No, you are wrong. You have to be fair and kind." + +The big boy was surprised. He did not expect Tim and Lily to fight back. He felt the ball slipping from his hand. He felt Lily's shoulder pushing him. He lost his balance. He fell to the ground. + +Tim and Lily kept the ball. They ran away from the big boy. They said, "We did it. We stopped him. We are not afraid of him." + +They smiled at each other. They were happy. They were proud. They were friends. +Tom and Mia are twins. They share a room and a bed. One morning, Tom wakes up early. He is bored. He wants to play. He looks at Mia. She is still sleeping. He thinks of a way to wake her up. + +He gets out of the bed and goes to the kitchen. He finds a big spoon and a pot. He fills the pot with water and puts it on the stove. He turns on the fire. He waits for the water to boil. He stirs the water with the spoon. He makes a lot of noise. + +Mia hears the noise. She opens her eyes. She sees Tom is not in the bed. She gets up and goes to the kitchen. She sees Tom stirring the water. She is angry. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" she asks. + +"I am making soup," Tom says. + +"Soup? For breakfast?" Mia says. + +"Yes, soup is good. Do you want some?" Tom says. + +"No, I don't want soup. I want cereal. And I want to sleep. You are very noisy. You are very naughty. You should not play with the fire. It is dangerous. You could get hurt," Mia says. + +She turns off the fire and takes the pot and the spoon from Tom. She puts them in the sink. She takes Tom by the hand and leads him back to the room. She puts him in the bed. + +"Tom, you have to be quiet. You have to let me sleep. You have to wait for Mom and Dad to wake up. Then we can play. OK?" she says. + +"OK, Mia. I am sorry. I was bored. I wanted to have fun. I love you," Tom says. + +"I love you too, Tom. But please, no more soup," Mia says. + +They hug and close their eyes. They fall asleep again. They wait for Mom and Dad to wake up. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and make towers and houses. One day, they found a big box of new blocks in the playroom. They were very happy and wanted to try them. + +"Look, these blocks are different shapes and colors!" Anna said. "We can make more things with them!" + +"Yes, let's see what we can do!" Ben said. They started to build with the new blocks, but soon they had a problem. Some of the blocks did not fit with the others. They were too big or too small or had different holes. + +"Hey, this block does not fit here!" Ben said, trying to push a square block into a round hole. + +"Let me try!" Anna said, taking the block from him. She tried to force it in, but it did not work. She got angry and threw the block away. + +"That block is bad! We don't need it!" she said. + +"No, Anna, that's not nice!" Ben said. "The block is not bad, it just does not fit here. Maybe it fits somewhere else. We should not throw away things that are different." + +Anna did not listen to Ben. She kept throwing away the blocks that did not fit with her tower. Ben did not like that. He tried to find the blocks that Anna threw away and use them for his house. He found that some of the blocks fit together in different ways. He made a colorful and creative house with them. + +"Look, Anna, look what I made!" Ben said, showing his house to Anna. "I used the blocks that you threw away. They fit in different ways. See, this block has a hole that fits this block, and this block has a shape that fits this block. They are not bad, they are fine!" + +Anna looked at Ben's house. She saw that it was more fun and interesting than her tower. She felt sorry for throwing away the blocks. She realized that Ben was right. The blocks were not bad, they just did not fit with her tower. But they fit with other blocks and made something new. + +"Ben, I'm sorry, I was wrong," Anna said. "You are a good friend. You told me the truth. The blocks are not bad, they are fine. Can I play with you and your house?" + +"Of course, Anna, you can play with me and my house," Ben said. "We are best friends. We can share and learn from each other. Come on, let's see what else we can make with the blocks!" + +Anna and Ben hugged and played with the blocks. They learned that things that are different are not bad, they are fine. They learned that they can fit together in different ways and make something new. They learned that telling the truth is good and being nice is better. They had fun and were happy. +Lily was a pale girl who liked to read books. She had many books in her room, but she always wanted more. She wanted to learn new things and have fun with the stories. + +One day, she saw a big book in the library. It had a picture of a brain on the cover. Lily wanted that book very much. She asked the librarian if she could borrow it. + +"Sorry, Lily, this book is not for you," the librarian said.

It had easy words and pictures. It was about a brain that went on adventures. + +Lily liked that book very much. She learned new things and had fun with the story. She was happy and curious. + +She understood that she did not have to want everything. She had to want what was good for her. She had to respect the rules and the people who helped her. She had to use her brain wisely. +Tom was a boy who liked to take things that were not his. He saw a big house with many toys and shiny things. He wanted to have them all. He waited until the people who lived in the house went away. Then he entered the house through a window. + +He ran from room to room, grabbing everything he liked. He filled his bag with toys, jewels, money and clothes. He did not care if he broke or messed up anything. He was very greedy and selfish. + +But he did not know that the house had a big black dog.
