It was so glittery, it must have been special! She looked around to see if anyone else was there and saw no one. + +Lilly smiled and put the medal in her pocket. She then went to the swing and sat down. Closing her eyes, she pretended to dive into the air. She imagined the medal flying with her and heard a voice, "Lilly - you are an extraordinary girl!". + +Startled, Lilly opened her eyes. It was her granddad! He was standing nearby, watching her. Lilly raced towards him and he gave her a big hug. Lilly held onto the medal tightly and her grandad said, "You found a very special medal, Lilly. You may not be ordinary - you can do extraordinary things". + +Lilly smiled and looked up at her granddad. She tucked the medal in her pocket and said, "Let's go home, granddad!". +Tommy was a 3-year-old boy. He loved to play. He played in the park, at home with his toys, and with his friends. One day, Tommy wanted to do something really brilliant. + +He went to the park and saw a slide. He wanted to try it, but it was a very big slide. He was a bit scared so he asked his mom for help.

He loved the slide and thought it was brilliant. + +Tommy had a great time playing in the park that day. He remembered how brave he had been, and how much fun he'd had on the slide.

Finally, she found a farmer who said he knew where they might be. The farmer had bought them from an old man in a faraway land. + +The princess followed the farmer to the old man's house. When she arrived, the old man put her jewelry on a scale to weigh it. The princess didn't know that the old man was trying to scam her. He said the jewelry was very heavy, and the princess would have to pay him more money to get them back. + +The princess was very sad. She could tell the old man was not being honest, but she couldn't do anything but pay him the extra money he demanded. The princess took her jewels, but she never got all of her money back. + +The princess learned a valuable lesson. No matter how sad you are, it's always important to be careful when dealing with strangers. +Once upon a time, there were two twin brothers. One had lots of money and the other had very little. The richer one had everything he wanted in life, while the poorer one had just a few things. + +One day, the brothers decided to go to the grocery store.

When it was time to leave, she packed all of her beach things back in her beach bag and said goodbye to the ocean. +Timmy was going on a trip with his family.

He got in the car, but he was still feeling guilty. +Timmy's parents were very happy and they urged him to buckle his seatbelt. He did as he was told, but the guilt he was feeling kept growing inside him. +Suddenly, at the start of their journey, his parents turned around and smiled at him. They thanked him for getting in the car and forgetting about the guilt. Timmy smiled back and suddenly the guilt he was feeling disappeared.

The little girl was only three years old and she loved going for walks with her mom. + +One day, as they were walking along, the little girl noticed a beautiful sheet lying in the grass. + +"Mommy, what's that?" The little girl asked, pointing excitedly at the sheet. + +"Why, it's a beautiful sheet!" her mother answered with a smile. + +The mother offered to pick it up and take it home with them. The little girl was delighted and they folded up the sheet and put it in her mom's bag. + +When they got home, the mother and daughter laid out the sheet on the grass. The little girl giggled with glee as they jumped and spun around on the beautiful sheet. + +"Look how much fun it is, honey!" the mother said, hugging the little girl close. + +The little girl smiled up at her mom, grateful for her offer to pick up the sheet and make a special moment for them to share. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Susan.

She felt so proud that her mommy was involving her in the craft project. + +Susan said, “I can do it too!†+ +“Yes, you can, Susan!†her mommy cheered. + +So Susan carefully held the yarn with her little hands and started to separate it like her mommy had done.

She was happy and loved to skip through the park every day with her best friend, Kathy. + +One day while they were skipping, they found a lime in the grass. Lucy was very excited and wanted to take it home. But Kathy said that it was a fake lime. Strangely, the lime seemed to sparkle in the sunshine, and it looked just like a real lime. + +Lucy really wanted to take the lime home, but she listened to Kathy and decided not to. She knew the lime was too good to be true and it was likely just another fake thing. They kept skipping and soon forgot about the special lime. + +On their way home, they passed by the spot again, and this time the lime was still there. Lucy was relieved that she had not taken the lime because it would have been of no use to her. + +The moral of this story is that it is important to listen to your friends. Fake things may look attractive, but they are usually not worth having. +Once upon a time, there was a scared girl. She was walking in the woods, and she heard a loud noise ahead. She was worried and very scared. She looked into the woods and saw a big, sharp axe. She jumped back and was even more worried. + +But then, she saw something else - a tall man carrying a basket. He was walking with a happy whistle. The girl started to feel better, and she peeked out from behind a tree to see what the man was doing. + +As the man walked, he chopped down the tree with his axe. He put the wood into the basket and kept walking. The girl watched for a little bit, and then she smiled. + +She was no longer worried. She was happy to watch the man go about his work, and she felt brave enough to explore the forest a little more. She peeked around and enjoyed the peaceful sound of the chopping axe. +There were two best friends. They were so excited to dress up in the same fake outfit. It was a bright yellow dress with a shiny belt. + +Their moms said they could have a special treat if they wore it. So the friends excitedly agreed. + +The next day, they met and put on their dress. They each looked so cute. + +The friends came to the surprise treat. It was beef! They had never tried beef before. + +The friends were so excited to try this new food. They happily ate their beef. + +It turned out to be the best food they had ever tried. They were so thankful for their moms for making them dress up to get the special treat. +Once upon a time, there were two friends. One was friendly and the other was not. Every day, the friendly one would teach the not-so-friendly one about food. She taught him where to find the food and what it tasted like. + +One day, the not-so-friendly one was very hungry. So he went to the friendly one and asked for food. But instead of giving him food, the friendly one left him all alone. + +The moral of the story is that it is important to be friendly, but it's also important to show kindness. If you help someone who is in need, they will become your true friend and will be there when you need them the most. +Once there was a boy who was very lonely. He had no friends and no one to play with. One day, he saw a pistol lying in the grass. He picked it up, and it made him feel better. He liked how it looked and he smiled. + +But then his teacher saw him with the pistol and she frowned. She knew he shouldn't have it, so she took it away.

It was a big yellow ribbon with a sparkly yellow jewel right in the middle. Honesty was so excited and couldn't believe she got a special prize just for being honest.

Lisa was so jealous that she could hardly speak. She wished she had a shiny coin too. Sally felt kind and offered to share the coin with Lisa. + +The two friends decided to go to the store and buy ice cream. They went inside, paid for the ice cream, and had lots of fun.

They each got onto the kangaroo's back and it took them for a ride around the park! Wheee! + +But then the kangaroo started to hop away from the park. Now Samuel and Joe disagreed on what to do - stay on the kangaroo and go on an adventure or get off and go back to the park? + +They thought and thought, until finally they agreed that they would get off the kangaroo and go back to the park. After all, they wanted to finish their game of hide and seek! +Once upon a time there was an independent elephant who loved to see the world.

The fish slipped back into the water and Joe had lost it. + +Bob said that the best way for Joe to get his fish back was to use a sink. He showed Joe how to tie the sink to his line so the sink would sink to the bottom of the lake so the fish would come near it. + +So Joe followed Bob’s advice and tied the sink to his line. They both waited, and soon enough the fish came close to Joe’s sink! Joe was so happy and was able to catch the fish. + +Bob and Joe were very proud of their great fishing adventure. They could hardly wait to tell their families all about it. +One morning, a small animal woke up and stretched. It was a cute little bunny. The bunny hopped out of its bed and looked out the window.

He asked, “Don’t you get mad when I kick you like that?†+ +His dad smiled and said, “Yes, I do get mad, but it is better to not kick than to get angry. An angry person feels very bitter inside.

They were very happy and wanted to keep it. + +But the crystal was very heavy. Sara and Ben had to weigh it with their hands. They tried to carry it to their house, but it was too hard. They dropped it many times and it got filthy with dirt and mud. + +They saw their mom coming from the market. She had a basket of fruits and vegetables. She smiled and said, "Hello, my darlings. What do you have there?" + +Sara and Ben showed her the crystal. But it was not shiny anymore. It was dull and dirty. Their mom frowned and said, "That is not a crystal, my darlings. That is a piece of glass. Someone threw it away and it broke. It is not good for you. It can cut you and make you bleed. You should throw it away too." + +Sara and Ben felt sad and ashamed. They realized they had wasted their time and energy on something worthless. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We thought it was a crystal. We wanted to keep it." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, my darlings. You made a mistake, but you can learn from it. Next time, be careful what you pick up and what you value. Some things may look shiny, but they are not. Some things may look dull, but they are precious. Like these fruits and vegetables. They are not shiny, but they are good for you. They can make you healthy and strong. Do you want some?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We want some. Thank you, mom. We love you." + +Their mom smiled and said, "I love you too, my darlings. Come, let's go inside and wash up. Then we can have a nice snack and a story." + +Sara and Ben followed their mom and left the glass behind. They learned that not everything that glitters is gold, and that the true treasures are the ones that nourish their bodies and souls. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big boat on the lake. It was shiny and white, and it had a flag on the top. + +"Wow, look at the boat!" Tom said. "Can we go on it?" + +Lily nodded. "Yes, let's go!" They ran to the boat and climbed on board. They pretended to be pirates and sailors, and they had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. It was the boat's owner, and he was angry. + +"Hey, you two! Get off my boat! This is not a toy!" he shouted. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They jumped off the boat and ran away. They did not want to get in trouble. + +They ran back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw their faces and hugged them. + +"What happened, my loves?" she asked. + +"We saw a boat, and we wanted to play, but the man was mad," Tom said. + +"We're sorry, mom," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. "It's okay, my loves. But you have to remember, you can't go on other people's things without asking. That's not nice." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They said sorry to the man in their hearts. + +"Can we still play in the park, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, my loves. But be careful and quiet, okay?" mom said. + +Tom and Lily agreed. They went to play in the swings and the slide. They still liked the boat, but they knew it was not theirs. They remembered to be nice and quiet. +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is a loyal dog. He always follows them and protects them from danger. + +One day, they hear a loud noise in the bushes. They are scared. They think it is a monster. They run to hide behind a tree. Spot barks at the noise. + +"Spot, come here!" Anna calls. "It is not safe!" + +But Spot does not listen. He wants to find out what the noise is. He runs to the bushes. + +"Spot, no!" Ben shouts. "You are brave, but you are silly!" + +Anna and Ben hear a growl and a whimper. They are very worried. They hope Spot is okay. + +They peek from behind the tree. They see Spot and a small cat. The cat is hurt. It has a thorn in its paw. Spot is licking the cat's wound. He is trying to help the cat. + +Anna and Ben are surprised. They realize the noise was not a monster. It was a cat in pain. + +They come out from behind the tree. They walk to Spot and the cat. They pet them gently. + +"Good boy, Spot," Anna says. "You are not silly. You are kind." + +"Sorry, Spot," Ben says. "You are not brave. You are heroic." + +The cat purrs and rubs against Spot. Spot wags his tail. He is happy. + +Anna has an idea. She says, "Let's take the cat home. We can take care of it. Maybe it can be our new friend." + +Ben agrees. He says, "Yes, let's do that. Spot will like that too. He likes to make new friends." + +They pick up the cat and carry it home. Spot follows them. He is a loyal dog. He always stays with them and loves them. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that courage is not only about facing danger, but also about showing compassion and kindness to others. It also shows that loyalty is a valuable trait in a friend. Foreshadowing or setup and payoff: The loud noise in the bushes sets up the expectation of a monster, but the payoff is a cat in need of help. Spot's loyalty and bravery are foreshadowed by his behavior in the park, and pay off by his actions in the bushes. +Lily was a young girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of dolls and animals that she made talk to each other. She also had a brother, Ben, who was deaf. He could not hear what Lily said, but he could see her mouth and use his hands to talk. + +One day, Lily and Ben were playing in their room. Lily was making her dolls have a tea party, and Ben was building a tower with his blocks. Lily wanted Ben to join her tea party, so she poked him with her finger. + +"Ben, Ben, come play with me!" she said. + +Ben looked at her and smiled. He pointed to his ear and shook his head. He meant that he could not hear her. + +Lily nodded. She knew that Ben was deaf, but she still wanted to play with him. She took one of her dolls and gave it to him. She moved her mouth and made the doll say, "Hello, Ben. I am Lily's friend. Do you want some tea?" + +Ben took the doll and looked at Lily's mouth. He moved his hands and made the doll say, "Hello, Lily's friend. I am Ben. Thank you for the tea." + +Lily and Ben smiled at each other. They did not need words to play together. They used their dolls and their hands and their eyes. They had fun and they were happy. They were brother and sister and they loved each other. +One day, a grumpy soldier was walking in the park. He did not like the birds that were flying in the sky. He thought they were too noisy and happy. He wanted them to go away. + +He saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and threw it at a bird. The bird was scared and flew away. The soldier smiled. He felt strong and mean. + +But then, another bird saw what he did. It was a big, black crow. It did not like the soldier. It wanted to teach him a lesson. It flew down and pecked his head. The soldier yelled and ran. The crow chased him and pecked him again and again. + +The soldier was sorry and scared. He wished he had not thrown the stick. He wished he had been nice to the birds. He learned that flying is not bad, and that being grumpy is not good. He hoped the crow would stop and fly away. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box. The box is brown and has a red ribbon. + +"Look, a box!" Lila says. "Maybe it has a toy inside." + +"Let's open it!" Tom says. He runs to the box and pulls the ribbon. The box opens and a white dog jumps out. The dog is happy and wags its tail. + +"Wow, a dog!" Lila says. She wants to touch the dog. She reaches out her hand and the dog licks it. Lila giggles. + +"Hello, dog!" Tom says. He tries to pet the dog, but the dog does not hear him. The dog is deaf. It cannot hear any sound. + +"Dog, dog, can you hear me?" Tom says louder. He claps his hands and snaps his fingers, but the dog does not look at him. + +"Tom, the dog is deaf," Lila says. "It cannot hear you. You have to use your eyes and your hands to talk to it." + +"How do I do that?" Tom asks. + +Lila shows him. She points to herself and says "Lila". She points to Tom and says "Tom". She points to the dog and says "dog". She makes a heart shape with her hands and says "love". She smiles and hugs the dog. + +The dog understands. It wags its tail and licks Lila and Tom. It loves them too. + +Lila and Tom are happy. They have a new friend. They name the dog Snowy. They play with Snowy in the park. They use their eyes and their hands to talk to Snowy. Snowy is a good dog. +Anna and Ben were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big cardboard box for a ship, and some sticks for swords. Anna was the captain, and Ben was her mate. + +They saw a chubby squirrel on the fence. It had a shiny nut in its mouth. Anna and Ben decided to attack it and take its treasure. They ran towards the fence, waving their sticks and shouting "Arrr!" + +The squirrel was scared. It dropped the nut and ran away. Anna and Ben reached the fence and picked up the nut. They were very happy. They had won the battle. + +But then they heard a loud bark. It was Max, the neighbor's dog. He had seen the nut and wanted it for himself. He jumped over the fence and ran towards Anna and Ben. He was big and fierce. + +Anna and Ben were scared. They dropped the nut and ran away. They hid behind the box and hoped Max would go away. They had lost the battle. + +Max reached the nut and sniffed it. He did not like it. It was hard and bitter. He spat it out and looked for something else. He saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a knife. Someone had left it there by mistake. + +Max picked up the knife in his mouth. He liked it. It was shiny and sharp. He wagged his tail and ran around the garden. He wanted to show his new toy. + +Anna and Ben saw Max with the knife. They were very worried. They knew knives were dangerous. They could hurt Max or someone else. They wanted to take the knife away from Max. + +But they did not know how. Max was bigger and stronger than them. They could not fight him. They had to be smart. + +They thought of a plan. They found some biscuits in the house. They loved biscuits, and so did Max. They took some biscuits and went back to the garden. + +They called Max and showed him the biscuits. They said "Max, do you want a biscuit? It is yummy and sweet. You can have it if you give us the knife." + +Max heard them and saw the biscuits. He wanted a biscuit. It was yummy and sweet. He liked biscuits more than nuts or knives. + +He ran towards Anna and Ben. He dropped the knife and took a biscuit. He ate it and wagged his tail. He wanted more. + +Anna and Ben picked up the knife and put it away. They gave Max another biscuit. They said "Good boy, Max. You are a good dog. You surrendered the knife. You are a smart dog." + +Max was happy. He had biscuits and friends. He licked Anna and Ben and played with them. They were happy too. They had saved Max and the garden. They were brave pirates. +Lily liked to sail her boat in the pond. She made the boat from a big leaf and a stick. She tied a string to the stick so she could pull the boat back. She liked to watch the fish and the ducks in the water. + +One day, she saw a new animal in the pond. It had a long neck and a big head. It was brown and white and had spots. It looked at Lily with curious eyes. Lily wanted to know what it was. She sailed her boat closer to the animal. + +The animal saw the boat and stretched its neck to touch it. It was gentle and careful. It sniffed the boat and the stick. It made a funny sound. Lily giggled. She said hello to the animal. She thought it was a friendly animal. + +The animal liked Lily too. It followed her boat as she pulled it back. It came out of the pond and walked with Lily to the shore. Lily saw her mom and dad waiting for her. She waved to them and said, "Look, I made a new friend!" + +Her mom and dad were surprised and happy. They said, "Wow, Lily, you found a giraffe! How did it get here?" Lily shrugged. She did not know. She only knew that she liked the giraffe and the giraffe liked her. She gave the giraffe a hug and said, "Bye, bye, giraffe. Thank you for playing with me." The giraffe nodded and said, "Bye, bye, Lily. You are a nice girl." Then it walked back to the pond and sailed away. +Tom and Anna liked to play on the porch. They had a lot of toys and games there. They also had a big red ball that they could throw and catch. + +One day, they decided to play a new game. They called it repeat. One of them would say a word, and the other one would repeat it. Then they would switch roles. + +"I start," said Tom. "Dog." + +"Dog," repeated Anna. + +"Cat." + +"Cat." + +"Bird." + +"Bird." + +"Flower." + +"Flower." + +They went on like this for a while, until Tom said a word that Anna did not know. + +"Reliable." + +Anna looked puzzled. She had never heard that word before. She tried to say it, but it sounded funny. + +"Ree-lie-blee?" + +Tom laughed. "No, no, no. Reliable. It means you can trust someone or something. Like Mom and Dad. They are reliable. They always take care of us and love us." + +Anna nodded. She liked that word. She wanted to be reliable too.

She smiled and said: + +"Friend." + +"Friend," repeated Tom. + +They hugged each other and continued to play. They were happy and reliable friends. +Timmy loved waffles. He ate them every morning with honey and butter. He liked to make shapes with his fork on the waffles. He made stars, hearts, and circles. + +One day, Timmy woke up and smelled something good. He ran to the kitchen and saw his mom making waffles. He was very happy. He said, "Mom, can I have a waffle, please?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Timmy. But first, you have to do something important. You have to brush your teeth and wash your face. Then you can have a waffle." + +Timmy did not want to do that. He wanted a waffle now. He said, "No, Mom. I want a waffle now. I don't want to brush my teeth and wash my face." + +Mom said, "Timmy, you have to listen to me. It is important to be clean and healthy. If you don't brush your teeth and wash your face, you can't have a waffle." + +Timmy got very angry. He said, "No, no, no!" He threw a tantrum. He kicked and screamed and cried. He said, "I hate you, Mom. You are mean. You don't love me." + +Mom was very sad. She said, "Timmy, how can you say that? I love you very much. But you have to be a good boy and do what I say. You are hurting my feelings." + +Timmy did not care. He kept yelling and crying. He did not see that his mom was crying too. He did not see that his dad came into the kitchen and saw what was happening. He did not see that his dad was very angry. + +Dad said, "Timmy, stop it right now. You are being very rude and naughty. You are making your mom cry. You should be ashamed of yourself. You don't deserve a waffle. You don't deserve anything. Go to your room and stay there. No waffles for you today. Or tomorrow. Or ever." + +Timmy was shocked. He looked at his dad and his mom. He saw their faces. They were not smiling. They were not happy. They were not proud of him. They were disappointed and hurt. + +Timmy realized that he had made a big mistake. He had been very bad. He had said mean things. He had not done what he was supposed to do. He had lost his waffle. He had lost his parents' love. + +Timmy felt very sorry. He wanted to say sorry. He wanted to hug his mom and dad. He wanted to have a waffle. But it was too late. His dad took him by the hand and dragged him to his room. He locked the door behind him. + +Timmy was alone. He had no waffle. He had no mom. He had no dad. He had nothing. He wept. He wept and wept and wept. +Lily and Sam were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were making tea for their dolls and stuffed animals. Lily had a red teapot and Sam had a blue one. They filled them with water from the sink and put them on the stove. + +"Be careful, Lily. The stove is hot. Don't touch it," Sam said. + +"I know, Sam. I'm not a baby. I'm a big girl," Lily said. + +They waited for the water to boil. They heard a loud noise from the stove. It was the teapots. They were making a whistle sound. + +"Listen, Sam. The teapots are whistling. That means the water is ready," Lily said. + +She turned off the stove and took her teapot with a cloth. Sam did the same. They poured the water into their cups. They added some sugar and milk. They stirred with their spoons. + +"Here you go, Mr. Bear. Here is your tea. It is sweet and creamy," Lily said. She gave a cup to her brown bear. + +"Thank you, Lily.

They sipped their tea and chatted with their toys. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big church with a tall tower. They wanted to see what was inside, so they walked to the door. The door was open, so they went in. + +The church was dark and quiet. They saw many seats, a big cross, and some candles. They heard a strange noise from the tower. They were curious, so they decided to search for it. + +They climbed up the stairs, but they were very steep and narrow. They had to hold on to the wall. They were a little scared, but they were also brave. They said to each other, "We can do it. We want to see the noise." + +They reached the top of the tower, and they saw a big bell. The bell was making the noise. It was very loud and shiny. They wanted to touch it, so they walked closer. But they did not see a hole in the floor. They stepped on the hole, and they fell down. + +They screamed, but no one heard them. They landed on the hard ground, and they did not move. They were hurt, and they were sad. They wished they had not gone to the church. They wished they had stayed outside and played. But it was too late. They were gone. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, because their parents gave them everything they wanted. They were spoiled children, and they did not like to share or be nice to others. + +One day, a new family moved in next door. They had a little girl named Lily, who was very friendly and polite. She knocked on the door and asked if she could play with Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben looked at her and saw that she had only one doll and a small bag of blocks. They did not want to play with her, because they thought she was poor and boring. + +"Go away, we don't want to play with you!" Anna said rudely. + +"Yeah, you have no fun toys, and you are not in our group!" Ben added. + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to make friends. Maybe you would like my doll, she can ring a bell and sing a song." She showed them her doll, which had a button on its chest. When she pressed it, the doll rang a bell and sang a sweet melody. + +Anna and Ben were surprised and curious. They had never seen a doll like that. They wanted to have it, because they liked to have everything. They ran to Lily and tried to grab the doll from her hands. + +"Give me the doll, it's mine now!" Anna shouted. + +"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Ben argued. + +They pulled and pushed and fought over the doll, until they broke it. The bell stopped ringing, and the song stopped singing. The doll was silent and torn. + +Lily cried and ran back to her house. She loved her doll, and it was the only toy she had. She did not understand why Anna and Ben were so mean and greedy. + +Anna and Ben looked at the broken doll and felt ashamed. They realized that they had been very bad and hurtful. They wished they had been nicer to Lily, and shared their toys with her. They decided to go to her house and say sorry, and give her some of their toys as a gift. They hoped that Lily would forgive them, and be their friend. +Sara liked to observe things. She liked to watch the birds, the cars, the people. She had a big window in her room, where she could see many things. + +One day, she saw a big car stop in front of her house. A man and a woman came out of the car.

She saw her mom and dad and the wealthy people sit in the living room. They had papers and pens and laptops. They looked serious. Sara hid behind a plant and tried to listen. + +She heard them talk about numbers and words she did not understand. She heard them say things like "investment", "profit", "contract", "deal". She did not know what they meant. She felt bored and confused. + +She decided to go back to her room. She did not like the meeting. She liked to observe things that were fun and interesting. She looked out of her window and saw a cat playing with a ball. She smiled and watched the cat. She thought the cat was much more fun than the wealthy people. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. The park has a big slide. Anna and Ben love to slide down the slide. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. Their moms have a job. They are teachers. They talk to each other on a bench. Anna and Ben run to the slide. + +"Let's slide together!" Anna says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They climb up the ladder. They sit on the slide. They hold hands. They slide down very fast. They laugh and scream. They have fun. + +The slide is lively. It makes a noise. It goes "whee!" and "whoosh!" Anna and Ben like the noise. They slide again and again. + +Their moms watch them. They smile. They are happy. They think Anna and Ben are lively too. They are proud of their children. They hug them and say "We love you!" +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One night, they saw a big, round, bright thing in the sky. It was the moon. They wondered what it was and how it got there. + +"Look, Ben, the moon is rising!" Lily said, pointing up. + +"What is the moon, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. It is a mystery. Maybe it is a big ball of cheese," Lily said. + +"Cheese? Can we eat it?" Ben said. + +"No, silly, it is too far away. And it might be hot," Lily said. + +They watched the moon rise higher and higher, until it was very high. Then they saw something else in the sky. It was small, dark, and fast. It flew across the moon and made a loud noise. + +"What is that, Lily?" Ben said, scared. + +"I don't know. It is another mystery. Maybe it is a big bird or a dragon," Lily said. + +"A dragon? Can it hurt us?" Ben said. + +"I don't think so. It is too far away. And it might be friendly," Lily said. + +They watched the dark thing fly away and disappear. Then they heard their mom call them. + +"Ben, Lily, time for bed!" she said. + +"Okay, mom, we are coming!" they said. + +They ran inside and hugged their mom. They told her about the moon and the dark thing. She smiled and kissed them. + +"Those are wonderful things to see, my loves. The moon is a big rock that reflects the sun's light. The dark thing is a plane that carries people. They are not mysteries, they are wonders," she said. + +"Wow, mom, you know everything!" they said. + +"No, my loves, I don't. There are still many mysteries in the world. And you can discover them when you grow up. But for now, you need to sleep and dream," she said. + +She tucked them in their beds and turned off the light. They closed their eyes and thought about the moon and the plane. They felt happy and curious. They fell asleep and dreamed of more wonders. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then a big dog came and took their ball. The dog ran away with the ball in its mouth. Lily and Tom were very sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. + +They ran after the dog, but the dog was too fast. They could not catch the dog. They did not know where the dog went. They started to panic. They did not want to lose their ball. They did not know what to do. + +They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a book and a hat. They thought he might help them. They went to the man and asked him if he saw the dog. The man looked at them and said, "Go away, you rude kids. I don't care about your ball. I want to read my book. Leave me alone." + +Lily and Tom felt very hurt. The man was very mean to them. He did not want to help them. He did not tell them the truth. He lied to them. He saw the dog, but he did not say anything. He had their ball under his hat. He wanted to keep their ball for himself. + +Lily and Tom did not know that the man had their ball. They thought he was just a bad man. They decided to look for the dog somewhere else. They hoped they would find their ball and the dog. They did not give up. They were brave and smart. They loved their ball. +Tom and Sue like to play with paper. They cut paper, fold paper, and draw on paper. One day, they find a big blue paper in the closet. It is shiny and smooth. They want to make something with it. + +"Let's make a boat!" Tom says. "We can sail it in the pond." + +"Good idea!" Sue says. "I will cut the paper and you will fold it." + +They work hard and make a nice boat. It has a sail and a flag. They are happy and proud. + +They go to the pond with their boat. They put it on the water and watch it float. It looks so pretty and fast. + +"Can I hold it?" Tom asks. + +"OK, but be careful," Sue says. "Don't let it go." + +Tom takes the boat and holds it in his hands. He feels the paper. It is soft and wet. He sees a hole in the paper. The water is going inside the boat. + +"Oh no!" Tom says. "The boat is breaking!" + +He tries to fix the hole, but he makes it bigger. The boat sinks in the pond. Tom and Sue are sad and angry. + +"You broke our boat!" Sue says. "You are a bad brother!" + +She hits Tom and runs away. Tom cries and runs after her. They do not play with paper anymore. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big box and some sticks. They wanted to make a house for their toys. + +"Look, I have a tray!" Sara said. She found a tray in the shed. It was round and shiny. "We can use it for a roof!" + +"Good idea!" Tom said. He helped Sara put the tray on top of the box. They used some tape to make it stay. "Now our house is ready!" + +They put their toys inside the house. They had a bear, a doll, a car and a dinosaur. They pretended to be the toys' parents. They gave them names and stories. + +"Hello, I'm Mama Bear," Sara said. "I provide honey and berries for my family. What's your name?" + +"I'm Papa Dino," Tom said. "I provide meat and eggs for my family. I'm very fierce and strong. Roar!" + +They had fun playing with their toys. They made them talk and move. They gave them hugs and kisses. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex. He saw the house and the toys. He wanted to play too. He ran towards them and barked. + +"Uh-oh, Rex is coming!" Sara said. "He might break our house and our toys!" + +"Quick, hide them!" Tom said. They grabbed their toys and ran inside the house. They shut the door behind them. + +Rex reached the house and sniffed it. He saw the tray on the roof. He thought it was a big bone. He jumped and bit it. He pulled it off the box. He wagged his tail and ran away with it. + +Sara and Tom watched from the window. They were sad and angry. + +"Bad Rex!" Sara said. "He took our roof and ruined our house!" + +"Maybe we can make another one," Tom said. "But we need a new tray." + +They hugged each other and their toys. They hoped Rex would not come back. They decided to play something else. +One day, Tom and Mia went to visit their dad at his work. He worked in a big place with many rooms and machines. He called it a lab. He said he made new things there. + +"Can we see your lab, dad?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but you have to be very careful and quiet. Some of the machines are loud and some of the things are hot or sharp," dad said. + +He took them to his lab and showed them some of his things. There was a big glass jar with a green liquid and a small fish inside. There was a metal box with wires and buttons that made funny noises. There was a white board with many colors and shapes that dad said were his plans. + +Tom and Mia looked at everything with wonder. They wanted to touch and play with the things, but they remembered what dad said. They stayed close to him and asked him questions. + +"What is this, dad?" Mia asked, pointing to a small red ball on a table. + +"That is a special ball that can bounce very high. Watch this," dad said. He picked up the ball and threw it to the ceiling. The ball bounced back and forth between the ceiling and the floor very fast. It made a loud boing sound. + +Tom and Mia laughed. They thought it was very funny. They wanted to try it too. + +"Can we play with the ball, dad?" Tom asked. + +"OK, but only for a little while. And be careful not to lose it or break anything," dad said. He gave the ball to Tom and went back to his work. + +Tom and Mia took turns throwing the ball to the ceiling and catching it. They had fun with the ball. But then, something bad happened. Tom threw the ball too hard and it missed the ceiling. It hit a window and broke it. The ball flew out of the window and disappeared. + +Tom and Mia looked at the broken window and the empty table. They felt scared and sorry. They did not know what to do. They panicked. + +"Dad, dad, we are sorry, we broke the window and lost the ball!" they cried. + +Dad heard them and came to see what happened. He saw the broken window and the empty table. He was not happy. He was angry and worried. + +"Oh no, what have you done? That ball was very important and expensive. It was part of my project. How could you be so careless?" he shouted. + +Tom and Mia felt very bad. They wanted to make dad happy again. They said they were sorry and they did not mean to do it. They asked him if he could fix it. + +Dad sighed. He calmed down and hugged them. He said he was sorry too for shouting at them. He said he loved them and he knew they did not mean to do it. He said he would try to fix it, but it would take some time and money. + +He said they had to leave the lab now and go home. He said they could not play with his things anymore. He said they had to be more careful and listen to him next time. + +Tom and Mia nodded. They said they understood and they would be more careful and listen to him next time. They said they loved him too and they hoped he could fix it. + +They left the lab and went home. They felt sad and sorry for what they did. They hoped dad would not be too mad at them. They hoped he would find the ball and finish his project. They hoped they could still have fun with him. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play dress-up with their mom's clothes. One day, they find a big hat and a long scarf in the closet. They want to wear them and pretend to be spies. + +They put on the hat and the scarf and sneak around the house. They look for clues and secrets. They whisper to each other. + +"Shh, don't let anyone see us," Lily says. + +"Look, there's a couch in the living room. Maybe there's something hidden under it," Ben says. + +They crawl to the couch and lift the cushions. They find a bag of candy. They are very happy. They open the bag and take some candy. + +"Yum, this is sweet and chewy," Lily says. + +"Let me try," Ben says. He takes a candy and puts it in his mouth. He makes a face. "Blech, this is sour and yucky." + +He spits out the candy and throws it away. Lily laughs. + +"That's not candy, silly. That's mom's medicine. She takes it when she has a sore throat." + +Ben feels bad. He says sorry to mom. Mom is not angry. She hugs him and says it's okay. She tells them to be careful with her things. She gives them some real candy and some water. + +Lily and Ben say thank you to mom. They share the candy and the water. They take off the hat and the scarf and put them back in the closet. They cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. They are happy. They love to play dress-up, but they also love their mom. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. Mom had a bag with some treats for them. She said they could have one after they played for a while. + +Sara saw a big puddle near the slide. She wanted to jump in it and make a splash. She ran towards it, but she did not see the mud around it. She slipped and fell on her face. She felt wet and cold and hurt. She started to cry. + +Ben heard her cry and ran to help her. He saw her covered in mud and water. He felt sorry for her. He said, "Don't cry, Sara. It's okay. Mom will clean you up. Here, have a treat. It will make you feel better." He took a cookie from the bag and gave it to her. + +Sara took the cookie and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I like cookies. They are yummy." She ate the cookie and felt a little better. + +Mom saw what happened and came to them. She was worried. She said, "Oh, Sara, what did you do? You are all dirty and wet. Are you hurt?" She checked her for any cuts or bruises. She said, "You are lucky. You only have a small scratch on your nose. Come on, let's go home and change your clothes. You can have another treat later." + +Sara and Ben followed Mom to the car. They held hands and said, "We love you, Mom. You are the best." Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I love you too, my sweeties. You are the best too." They got in the car and drove home. They learned to be careful around puddles and mud. They also learned to share and help each other. They had a good day. +Ben and Mia love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favourite is the aeroplane. The aeroplane is red and blue and has big wings. It can fly very fast and make loud noises. + +One day, Ben and Mia are playing with the aeroplane in the garden. They take turns to throw the aeroplane in the air and catch it. They pretend they are pilots and say "Zoom, zoom, zoom!" and "Beep, beep, beep!" + +But then, Ben throws the aeroplane too hard and it lands on the roof of the house. Ben and Mia are sad and scared. They cannot reach the aeroplane. They do not know what to do. + +They run to their mum and tell her what happened. Their mum is not angry, but she is worried. She says "Oh no, how did the aeroplane get on the roof? It is too high and too rough. We need to get it down." + +She calls their dad and asks him to help. Their dad comes home with a ladder and a stick. He climbs the ladder and uses the stick to poke the aeroplane. He is careful not to break it. He pushes the aeroplane until it falls down to the ground. + +Ben and Mia are happy and relieved. They hug their dad and thank him. They hug their mum and say sorry. They hug their aeroplane and promise to be more careful. They play with the aeroplane again, but this time they do not throw it too hard. They have fun and laugh. They love their toys and their parents. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to go on walks in the woods. They followed a trail that led to a big lake. Ben was older and smarter than Sam, and he always told Sam what to do and what not to do. + +"Sam, don't touch that plant. It has red berries and they are bad for you. They can make you sick," Ben said. + +"But they look so yummy. I want to taste them," Sam said. + +"No, Sam. Trust me. I know what is good and what is bad. You have to listen to me. I am your dependable brother," Ben said. + +Sam nodded, but he was still curious. He wanted to know what the red berries tasted like. He thought Ben was too bossy and too careful. He wanted to have some fun and try new things. + +One day, when Ben was not looking, Sam sneaked a berry from the plant and put it in his mouth. He bit it and felt a sour and bitter taste. He spit it out and made a face. He felt a pain in his tummy and his throat. He started to cry. + +"Sam, what's wrong? What did you do?" Ben asked, running to him. + +"I ate a berry. It was bad. It hurt me. I'm sorry, Ben. I should have listened to you," Sam said, sobbing. + +Ben hugged him and said, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. But you have to be more careful. Some things in the woods are not good for you. You have to follow the trail and stay with me. I am your dependable brother and I want to keep you safe." + +Sam nodded and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I love you." + +Ben smiled and said, "I love you too, Sam. Come on, let's go home. Mom will make you feel better." + +They walked back to their house, holding hands. Sam learned his lesson and never ate anything from the woods again. Ben was proud of his brother and always looked after him. They were happy and dependable brothers. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a small bird on the ground. It was not moving. + +"Oh no, the bird is hurt!" Lily said. "We have to help it!" + +Ben nodded. He ran to the house and got a box and a towel. He put the towel in the box and made a soft bed for the bird. Lily picked up the bird gently and put it in the box. + +"Shh, it's okay, little bird," she whispered. "We will take you to the vet. She will restore you and make you well." + +They carried the box to the car. Mom drove them to the vet. The vet checked the bird and gave it some medicine. She said the bird had hit a window and was stunned, but it would be fine. + +"Thank you for bringing the bird to me," the vet said. "You are very kind and brave. You can take the bird home and let it go when it wakes up." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy the bird was not badly hurt. They took the box back to the garden and waited. Soon, the bird opened its eyes and looked around. It saw the light and the trees and the sky. It chirped and flapped its wings. + +"Bye bye, little bird," Lily and Ben said. "We are glad you are better. Fly high and be free." + +They opened the box and the bird flew out. It circled over their heads and then flew away. Lily and Ben waved and clapped. They felt good in their hearts. They had helped a friend in need. +Lily was a little girl who liked to eat a lot of candy. She did not like to eat fruits or vegetables or other good food. She only wanted candy all the time. Her mom and dad told her that candy was not good for her stomach, but she did not listen. She said, "I know, I know, but I love candy!" + +One day, Lily ate too much candy and her stomach started to hurt. She felt sick and had to lie down on her bed. She cried and cried and wished she had eaten something else. Her mom came to her room and gave her some water and a hug. She said, "Lily, I'm sorry you feel bad, but you have to learn to eat better. Candy is not good for your stomach. It can make you sick and unhappy. You have to eat some good food too, like fruits and vegetables and bread and cheese. They are good for your stomach and your health. They can make you strong and happy." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I don't want to eat candy all the time. I want to eat some good food too. Can you make me some soup, please?" Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, my dear. I'll make you some soup and some toast. And maybe later, you can have a little piece of candy as a treat. But only a little, okay?" Lily said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You're a good girl." + +Lily felt better after eating some soup and toast. She also felt grateful for her mom and dad, who cared for her and taught her how to eat well. She decided to listen to them more and to eat more good food and less candy. She learned that candy was not good for her stomach, and that good food was good for her health and happiness. She also learned to say thank you and I love you to her mom and dad, who loved her very much. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to study together. They have a big book with many images. The images are of animals, plants, and places. + +One day, they study the image of a lion. The lion is big and yellow. It has a long mane and sharp teeth. Tom and Mia are curious. They want to know more about the lion. + +They ask their teacher, Mrs. Lee. Mrs. Lee is friendly and smart. She tells them that the lion is the king of the animals. It lives in a place called Africa. It hunts other animals for food. It roars loud and makes other animals afraid. + +Tom and Mia listen to Mrs. Lee. They learn many things. They thank Mrs. Lee for teaching them. They say they want to see a real lion someday. + +Mrs. Lee smiles. She says that maybe they can go to the zoo and see a lion there. She says that the zoo is a safe place where they can watch the animals. She says that they should always be careful and respectful around the animals. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They say they want to go to the zoo with Mrs. Lee. They say they want to study more images in the book. They say they love to learn new things. They hug Mrs. Lee and each other. They are good friends. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to jump in the big pile of leaves that Dad had made with the rake. The leaves were red and yellow and brown and made a crunchy sound. + +"Look, I found a pine cone!" Lily said, holding up a spiky brown thing. "It is rare. I want to keep it." + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said, grabbing the pine cone from Lily. "I saw it first. You have to yield it to me." + +"Yield? What does that mean?" Lily asked, pulling the pine cone back. + +"It means you have to give it to me. It is a big word that Mom taught me. You are too little to know it." Ben said, feeling proud. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Ben's big word. She did not want to give him the pine cone. She liked it too. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" Dad asked, coming out of the house. He saw Ben and Lily fighting over the pine cone. + +"Dad, Lily won't yield me the pine cone. It is rare and I want it." Ben said, trying to sound grown-up. + +"Dad, Ben took the pine cone from me. It is pretty and I want it." Lily said, trying to sound sweet. + +Dad smiled and knelt down next to them. He took the pine cone and looked at it. + +"This is a nice pine cone, but it is not rare. There are many more in the yard. Why don't you share it? You can take turns holding it, or you can use it to decorate the pile of leaves. Or you can find something else to play with. There are plenty of fun things to do in the fall." Dad said, gently. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt silly for fighting over the pine cone. They decided to share it and use it to make a face on the pile of leaves. They thanked Dad and hugged him. Then they went back to playing, happy and friendly. They did not need big words to have fun. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. + +One day, Tom wants to play with Sam's big red car. He asks Sam, "Can you lend me your big red car? I want to drive it on the bridge." + +Sam says, "No, you can't. It is my car. It is very important to me. It has oil inside. It can go very fast and make loud noises. You have your own cars. Play with them." + +Tom feels sad and angry. He says, "That is not fair. You have so many cars. You can share. I will be careful with your car. I will give it back to you soon." + +Sam says, "No, no, no. It is mine. Go away. Leave me alone." + +Tom and Sam start to fight. They push and pull each other. They knock down the roads and bridges. They make a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Sam fighting and the cars and blocks everywhere. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, both of you. What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Tom and Sam stop fighting. They look at Mom. They feel ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Mom." + +Mom says, "What is the problem? Why can't you play nicely?" + +Tom says, "Sam won't lend me his big red car. He says it is important and has oil inside." + +Sam says, "Tom wants to take my big red car. He says I have too many cars. He says I should share." + +Mom says, "I see. Well, sharing is good, but so is respecting. Sam, your big red car is important to you, and that is okay. But you can also be kind and generous to your friend. You can lend him your car for a little while, and he will give it back to you. Tom, you can also be respectful and careful with Sam's car. You can ask him nicely, and you can thank him when he lends it to you. You can also play with your own cars, and maybe lend some to Sam too. That way, you can both have fun and be happy." + +Tom and Sam think about what Mom says. They say, "You are right, Mom. We are sorry. We will share and respect." + +Mom says, "Good. Now, clean up this mess, and then you can play again. And remember, be nice to each other." + +Tom and Sam nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +They hug Mom. They hug each other. They clean up the mess. They play with the cars. They lend and borrow. They make roads and bridges. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Sam were very happy. Today was a special day. They were going to see a parade. A parade was when many people and things walked on the street and made music and noise. Lily and Sam liked parades a lot. + +They put on their clean clothes and shoes. They did not want to be dirty for the parade. They held hands with Mom and Dad and walked to the park. The park was where the parade started. They saw many other people waiting for the parade too. + +Soon, they heard a loud sound. It was a drum. Then they saw a big flag. It was red and white and blue. Then they saw many people in uniforms. They were soldiers. They marched and carried guns. Lily and Sam clapped and cheered. + +"Look, Sam, look!" Lily said. "There are horses and dogs and cars and clowns and balloons and candy!" + +Sam looked and smiled. He liked horses and dogs and cars and clowns and balloons and candy. He wanted to see them closer. He let go of Mom's hand and ran to the street. + +"Sam, no!" Mom shouted. "Come back here! It's not safe!" + +But Sam did not hear Mom. He was too excited. He followed the parade. He ran after the horses and dogs and cars and clowns and balloons and candy. He did not see the cars and trucks and buses that were behind the parade. He did not see the people who were yelling and waving at him. He did not see the policeman who was running after him. + +Lily saw Sam. She was scared. She did not want Sam to get hurt. She wanted Sam to come back. She cried and called his name. + +"Sam, Sam, come back! Please, Sam, come back!" + +The policeman caught Sam. He lifted him up and carried him back to the sidewalk. He gave him to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad hugged Sam and scolded him. They told him he was very naughty and he could have been hit by a car or a truck or a bus. They told him he should never run away from them or follow the parade. + +Sam was sorry. He did not mean to be naughty. He did not mean to scare Lily and Mom and Dad. He did not mean to make the policeman angry. He just wanted to see the parade. He said he was sorry and he would not do it again. + +Lily and Sam hugged each other. They were happy to be together. They watched the rest of the parade from the sidewalk. They held hands with Mom and Dad and did not let go. They enjoyed the music and the noise and the colors and the fun. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful and to listen to Mom and Dad. They learned that parades were fun, but only from a safe distance. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Anna got there first and climbed up the ladder. Ben wanted to go first, too. He was angry and pinched Anna's arm. Anna cried and said, "Ow! That hurts! Don't pinch me!" + +Ben's mom heard Anna and came to see what happened. She saw the red mark on Anna's arm and knew Ben was naughty. She said, "Ben, that was not nice. You should not pinch your friend. You should be polite and take turns. Say sorry to Anna and give her a hug." + +Ben felt bad and said, "Sorry, Anna. I was wrong. Can we still be friends?" Anna nodded and hugged Ben. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. Let's play together." + +Ben's mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now, why don't you two go and play on the swings? I have a surprise for you later." Anna and Ben said, "Okay!" and ran to the swings. They had fun and forgot about the pinch. + +Later, Ben's mom and Anna's mom called them for lunch. They had sandwiches and juice. Ben's mom said, "And now, for the surprise. I made some beef stew for you. Do you like beef?" Anna and Ben said, "Yes, we do!" and clapped their hands. They ate the beef stew and said, "Thank you, mom. This is yummy!" + +Ben's mom and Anna's mom were happy to see them enjoy the food. They said, "You're welcome, kids. We're glad you like it. And we're proud of you for being polite and forgiving each other. You are good friends." Anna and Ben smiled and said, "We are!" and hugged each other. They had a good day at the park. +Lily was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with at school. She liked to jump and dance, but no one wanted to join her. They said she was too loud and silly. + +One day, a new boy came to school. His name was Ben. He had curly hair and a big smile. He saw Lily jumping and dancing by herself. He liked to jump and dance too. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. Can I play with you?" he asked Lily. + +Lily was surprised and happy. She nodded and smiled. "I'm Lily. Yes, you can play with me." + +They jumped and danced together. They made funny noises and faces. They had fun. They became friends. + +Lily was not lonely anymore. She had Ben to play with. They jumped and danced every day. They made other friends too. They were happy. +Lily liked to play with her toy cars. She had many cars of different colors, but her favorite was the yellow one. She called it Zoomy, because it was very fast and made a zoom sound when she pushed it. + +One day, Lily was playing with Zoomy on the floor, when her brother Max came in. Max was older than Lily and liked to tease her. He saw Zoomy and wanted to take it. + +"Give me that car, Lily. It's mine now," he said, reaching for Zoomy. + +"No, Max. It's mine. Go away," Lily said, holding Zoomy tight. + +Max tried to pull Zoomy from Lily, but Lily was persistent. She did not let go of Zoomy. She kicked and screamed and bit Max's hand. + +"Ow! You little monster!" Max shouted, letting go of Zoomy. He ran out of the room, rubbing his hand. + +Lily smiled and hugged Zoomy. She was happy that she kept her car. She kissed Zoomy and said, "I love you, Zoomy. You are the best car ever." + +She continued to play with Zoomy, making him zoom around the floor. She did not care about Max. She only cared about Zoomy. Zoomy was her friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to jog in the park with their dogs. Their dogs are loyal and follow them everywhere. Lily and Ben wear uniforms for school. They are blue and white. + +One day, Lily and Ben see a big truck in the park. The truck has a sign that says "Free Candy". Lily and Ben love candy. They want to go to the truck and get some. Their dogs bark and wag their tails. They want to go too. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go to the truck!" Lily says. + +"I don't know, Lily, it looks strange. Maybe we should ask our moms first," Ben says. + +"Don't be silly, Ben, it's just candy. And we can jog back fast. Come on, it will be fun!" Lily says. + +Lily and Ben jog to the truck. Their dogs follow them. They see a man in the truck. He smiles and opens the door. + +"Hello, kids, do you want some candy?" he says. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say. + +The man gives them some candy. It looks yummy. Lily and Ben take a bite. + +"Thank you, mister!" they say. + +"You're welcome, kids. Why don't you come inside the truck? I have more candy for you," the man says. + +Lily and Ben think that sounds good. They want more candy. They go inside the truck. Their dogs try to go too, but the man shuts the door. He locks it. + +"Hey, what are you doing? Let us out!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Sorry, kids, but you're not going anywhere. You're mine now," the man says. + +He starts the truck and drives away. Lily and Ben cry and scream. Their dogs run after the truck and bark. They try to save their friends, but they can't. The truck is too fast. Lily and Ben are gone. Their dogs are sad. They are loyal, but they can't help. The end. +One day, a boy and his mom went to the park. The boy liked to play on the slide and the swings. He saw a big tree with many leaves. He wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +He asked his mom if he could climb the tree. His mom said yes, but be careful. The boy ran to the tree and grabbed a branch. He pulled himself up and twisted his body to reach another branch. He felt happy and strong. + +But then, he heard a loud crack. The branch he was on broke and he fell down. He landed on the grass and felt a sharp pain in his arm. He cried out loud and his mom ran to him. She hugged him and said, "Oh, my poor boy, are you okay?" + +She looked at his arm and saw that it was bent in a strange way. She said, "You broke your arm, we need to go to the doctor." She picked him up and carried him to the car. The boy felt cold and scared. He wished he had not climbed the tree. He said, "I'm sorry, mom, I was silly." + +His mom said, "It's okay, my boy, you were brave. Accidents happen sometimes. The doctor will fix your arm and you will be fine. I love you very much." She kissed his cheek and drove to the doctor. The boy felt a little better and hoped his arm would heal soon. He learned a lesson: climbing trees can be fun, but also dangerous. He decided to play on the slide and the swings next time. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play games. Sometimes they play with cards, sometimes they play with blocks, sometimes they play with dolls. But their favorite game is to open books and find words. + +They have a big book with many words. It is called a dictionary. They take turns to open the dictionary and point to a word. Then they try to say the word and what it means. If they say it right, they get a point. If they say it wrong, they lose a point. They are very competitive. They want to have more points than the other. + +One day, they open the dictionary and find a hard word. It has many letters and sounds funny. Lily points to it and says, "This is xylophone. It is a thing you hit with sticks to make music." Ben says, "No, that is wrong. This is x-ray. It is a picture of your bones." They argue and argue. They do not know who is right. + +They ask their mom to help them. She looks at the word and smiles. She says, "You are both wrong. This is xenophobia. It is a big word that means you are afraid of people who are different from you." Lily and Ben are confused. They do not understand. They do not like this word. They say, "That is a bad word. We do not want to be afraid of people who are different. We want to be friends with everyone." + +They close the dictionary and hug each other. They say, "We are sorry for arguing. We do not care who has more points. We love each other and we love to learn new words." They decide to play a different game. They open a book with pictures and stories. They read it together and have fun. They are happy. +Anna loved horses. She wanted to ride one every day. But her mom said she was too little. She had to wait until she was bigger. + +One day, Anna saw a big sign. It said: "Horse Show Today". She asked her mom if they could go. Her mom said yes, but they had to hurry. They got in the car and drove to the farm. + +There were many horses at the farm. Some were black, some were brown, some were white. They had long hair and shiny eyes. Anna thought they were adorable. She wanted to pet them and hug them. + +She saw a man with a whip. He was making the horses jump over fences and do tricks. He looked mean. Anna did not like him. She wondered why he needed a whip. She thought the horses did not like him either. + +She saw a girl with a pink helmet. She was riding a small horse. She looked happy. She did not have a whip. She had a carrot. She gave the carrot to the horse when they finished. The horse licked her hand. Anna liked her. She wanted to be her friend. + +She ran to the girl and said: "Hi, I'm Anna. I love your horse. Can I ride him too?" + +The girl smiled and said: "Hi, I'm Lily. This is Sparky. He's my horse. He's very gentle and smart. You can ride him if you want. But you have to promise me something." + +Anna nodded eagerly and said: "What do I have to promise?" + +Lily said: "You have to promise to be nice to him. You have to promise not to use a whip. You have to promise to give him a carrot when you're done. Can you promise that?" + +Anna said: "Yes, I can promise that. I would never hurt a horse. I love horses. They are my favorite animals." + +Lily said: "OK, then. Come on, I'll help you get on. Sparky, this is Anna. She's going to ride you for a little while. Be good to her, OK?" + +Sparky neighed softly and nuzzled Anna's cheek. Anna felt happy. She climbed on his back and held his mane. Lily walked beside them and showed her how to steer and stop. Anna felt like she was flying. She felt like she was dreaming. + +She thanked Lily and Sparky for the ride. She gave Sparky a carrot and a hug. She said: "You are the best horse ever. I hope I can see you again." + +Lily said: "You're welcome. You are a good rider. I hope you can come back too. Maybe next time we can ride together." + +Anna said: "That would be awesome. Can we be friends?" + +Lily said: "Of course we can be friends. Friends who love horses." + +They smiled and hugged. They made a new promise. A promise to be friends forever. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make different things with their blocks, cars, and dolls. Lily had an idea. She wanted to make a surprise for Mommy and Daddy. She whispered to Ben, "Let's attach this alarm to the door. When they open it, it will make a loud noise and they will be so surprised!" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He thought it was a fun idea. He helped Lily find some tape and a string. They attached the alarm to the door with the tape and tied the string to the handle. They hid behind the couch and waited for Mommy and Daddy to come home. + +Soon, they heard the key in the lock. They giggled and held their breath. Mommy and Daddy opened the door and the alarm went off. It was very loud and scary. Mommy and Daddy jumped and screamed. They looked around and saw the alarm and the string. They saw Lily and Ben behind the couch. They were not happy. + +They walked over to the couch and asked, "Who did this? Who attached the alarm to the door?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They knew they had done something wrong. They felt sorry. They decided to be honest. They said, "We did it. We wanted to make a surprise for you. We are sorry. We didn't mean to scare you." + +Mommy and Daddy sighed. They were not angry anymore. They were glad that Lily and Ben were honest. They hugged them and said, "We love you, but please don't do that again. It was not a nice surprise. It was a bad joke. It could have hurt someone or broken something. Next time, think of a better way to surprise us." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We are sorry. We love you too. We will think of a better way to surprise you next time." + +They helped Mommy and Daddy take off the alarm and the tape and the string. They put away their toys and said sorry again. Mommy and Daddy smiled and said, "It's okay. We forgive you. You are good kids. You are honest kids. Now, let's have some dinner and talk about your day." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found shiny stones or pretty flowers. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big root!" Ben said, holding up a long, brown thing. "It was under the ground. I think it belongs to a tree." + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily said. "Can I see it?" + +Ben gave the root to Lily. She felt it with her fingers. It was hard and rough. She saw some tiny holes on it. + +"Maybe the bugs live in the holes," she said. "Do you think they are happy there?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they are. Maybe the root provides them with food and water and a place to hide." + +They heard a loud bark. They looked up and saw a big, gray dog running towards them. It had a wet nose and a wagging tail. + +"Uh-oh, it's Max!" Ben said. "He likes to chase us and play with us. But he might want our root too. He likes to chew on things." + +"Quick, hide the root!" Lily said. "We don't want him to take it away from us or the bugs." + +They buried the root under some leaves and ran to the other side of the garden. Max followed them, barking happily. He wanted to play with them, not with the root. He didn't know it was there. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big stable with horses. The stable is expensive. Their dad bought it for them on their birthday. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with the stable in their room. They pretend to feed the horses, brush them, and ride them. They make sounds like "neigh" and "clip-clop". They have a lot of fun. + +Then, they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She comes in with a tray of cookies and milk. She smiles and says, "Hello, my little cowboys and cowgirls. Do you want a snack?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please!" They run to the tray and grab a cookie each. They thank their mom and sip their milk. They are happy. + +Their mom looks at the stable and says, "Wow, what a nice stable you have. It looks very expensive. Where did you get it?" + +Lily and Ben look at each other and giggle. They say, "Dad gave it to us. He said it was a special gift. He said we are his special kids." + +Their mom hugs them and says, "That's right. You are very special. And you are very lucky to have such a generous dad. And he is very lucky to have such sweet kids." + +Lily and Ben laugh and say, "We love you, mom. And we love dad. And we love our stable." + +They finish their snack and go back to playing with their stable. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys on the big table. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a scale. It can weigh things. + +"Look, Mia, this is a scale. We can weigh our toys with it," Tom says. + +"How do we do that?" Mia asks. + +"See, there are two plates on the scale. We put one toy on each plate. Then we see which toy is heavier," Tom explains. + +They take out their toys and start to weigh them. They weigh a car, a doll, a ball, and a book. They have fun comparing the weights. + +"Wow, the book is the heaviest of all. It makes the scale go down a lot," Mia says. + +"Yes, and the ball is the lightest. It makes the scale go up a lot," Tom says. + +They laugh and clap their hands. They think the scale is a great toy. They thank their mom for giving it to them. They play with the scale until it is time for lunch. +Lila and Ben are playing with their toy soldiers. They pretend they are in a war and make loud noises. Lila has more soldiers than Ben and she says she is powerful. + +"Look, I have more soldiers than you. I can win the war. You are weak and small," she tells Ben. + +Ben feels sad and angry. He does not like what Lila says. He thinks she is mean and bossy. He wants to play fair and have fun. + +"That is not nice, Lila. You are not powerful, you are rude. You should share your soldiers and be kind. War is not fun, it is bad. It hurts people and makes them cry," he tells Lila. + +Lila does not listen to Ben. She laughs and says she does not care. She keeps playing with her soldiers and tries to take Ben's soldiers too. She thinks she is the best and the strongest. + +Ben does not want to play with Lila anymore. He picks up his soldiers and walks away. He looks for another friend who will play nice and respect him. He thinks Lila is not a good friend and he does not like war. He likes peace and love. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, it rains a lot. The water fills the park. It is a flood. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They run to the big tree. They climb up the tree. They are safe. But they are hungry. + +"Tom, I want to eat," Sue says. + +"Me too, Sue. But we have no food," Tom says. + +They look around. They see some apples on the tree. They are red and shiny. + +"Look, Sue. Apples! We can eat them," Tom says. + +"Yay, Tom. Apples are good. Let's eat them," Sue says. + +They pick some apples. They bite them. They are sweet and juicy. They are happy. + +They eat and eat. They wait for the rain to stop. They hope their mom and dad will come soon. They are still scared. But they have each other. And they have apples. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big sack near the slide. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They pull the sack. It is heavy. They hear something jingle. They see shiny things. They are coins! + +"Wow! Look at all the money!" Ben says. + +"Maybe it is a treasure!" Lily says. + +They are happy. They want to take the sack home. But then, they hear a loud voice. + +"Hey! That's my sack! Give it back!" It is a man. He is angry. He runs to them. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the sack. They run away. The man grabs the sack. He looks inside. He smiles. + +"Ha! I found it! This is the money I stole from the bank in the west!" He says. + +He does not see the police. They are behind him. They have guns. They say "Stop! You are under arrest!" + +The man is shocked. He drops the sack. He tries to run. But the police catch him. They put him in a car. They take him away. + +Lily and Ben are hiding behind a tree. They see everything. They are glad. They are safe. + +"That was a bad man!" Lily says. + +"Yes, he was!" Ben says. + +They hug each other. They are friends. They go home. They tell their moms and dads what happened. They are proud. They are brave. + +The end. +Lily and her brother Max were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run around. Lily saw a big dog with a ball in its mouth. She loved dogs and wanted to pet it. + +"Look, Max, a doggy! Can we go and say hello?" she asked her brother. + +Max was afraid of dogs. He shook his head and said, "No, Lily, it might bite us. Let's stay away from it." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran towards the dog and said, "Hi, doggy, you are so cute! Can I play with your ball?" + +The dog did not like strangers. It growled and barked at Lily. It showed its teeth and snapped at her hand. Lily screamed and ran back to Max. She was scared and hurt. + +The dog's owner came and apologized. He said, "I'm sorry, little girl, my dog is not very friendly. He doesn't like to share his ball. Are you okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm okay, thank you. But your dog is mean. He scared me and made me cry." + +Max hugged his sister and said, "It's okay, Lily, don't cry. You were brave to try to make a new friend. But next time, you should ask before you touch a dog. Some dogs don't like that." + +Lily sniffed and said, "Okay, Max, I will. Thank you for being my big brother. You are so kind and smart." + +Max smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are my adorable sister. I love you." + +They hugged and kissed. Then they went back to playing in the park. They had fun and forgot about the dog. They were happy. +It was a rainy day and Lily wanted to go outside and play. She put on her boots and her coat and asked her mom for an umbrella. + +"Here you go, sweetie. Be careful and don't get wet," her mom said, handing her a pink umbrella with flowers. + +"Thank you, mom. I love you," Lily said, opening the umbrella and running to the door. + +She stepped outside and saw a big puddle. She smiled and jumped into it, making a splash. She laughed and felt the raindrops on her face. She liked the sound of the rain and the smell of the wet grass. + +She saw a little bird on a branch, shivering and wet. She felt sorry for the bird and wanted to help. She walked over to the tree and said, "Hello, bird. Are you cold? Do you want to share my umbrella?" + +The bird looked at her and nodded. It flew down and landed on her shoulder. Lily held the umbrella over both of them and said, "There, now we are both warm and dry. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The bird chirped and nuzzled her cheek. Lily smiled and hugged the bird. She was happy to have a new friend. She said, "What is your name, bird?" + +The bird said, "My name is Blue. What is yours?" + +"My name is Lily. Nice to meet you, Blue," Lily said. + +They talked and played under the umbrella, until Lily's mom called her for lunch. Lily said, "Blue, I have to go now. But you can come with me if you want. Do you want to come?" + +Blue said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind." + +Lily said, "You're welcome, Blue. You are very sweet." + +She removed the umbrella from her shoulder and held it in her hand. She and Blue walked back to the house, where her mom was waiting for them. Lily said, "Mom, this is Blue. He is my new friend. Can he stay for lunch?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course he can, honey. He is very cute. Come on in, both of you. I have some sandwiches and juice for you." + +Lily and Blue went inside and enjoyed their lunch. They were very happy and grateful. They had found each other on a rainy day. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her big sister, Anna. They had a big wardrobe in their room, full of clothes and hats and shoes. Sometimes, they pretended to be princesses or pirates or superheroes. Lily loved to wear Anna's fake crown and necklace, and Anna let her borrow them. + +One day, they were playing dress-up when they heard their mom call them for lunch. "Come on, Lily, let's go eat," Anna said. "You can keep the crown and necklace for now, but don't lose them, okay?" + +"Okay," Lily said. She followed Anna out of the room, but she forgot to close the wardrobe door. + +While they were eating, a naughty cat sneaked into their room. He saw the shiny things on the wardrobe and wanted to play with them. He jumped on the wardrobe and knocked down the crown and necklace. He grabbed them with his mouth and ran away. + +When Lily and Anna came back to their room, they saw the wardrobe door open and the crown and necklace gone. "Oh no, where are they?" Anna cried. "Lily, did you take them?" + +"No, I didn't," Lily said. "They disappeared!" + +They looked everywhere, but they couldn't find them. They were very sad and worried. They didn't know that the cat had hidden them under the sofa in the living room. They thought they had lost them forever. +Lily loved to go to the library with her mom. She liked to look at the books with many pictures and colors. She also liked to play with the toys and puzzles in the kids' corner. Sometimes, she made new friends there. + +One day, Lily saw a big poster on the wall. It said there was a story time on Saturday. Lily wanted to go very much. She asked her mom if they could go. Her mom said yes, but they had to get up early and be on time. + +Lily was so happy. She could not wait for Saturday. She told her mom she would be a good girl and help her get ready. She also picked out her favorite dress and shoes. She put them on her bed and went to sleep. + +On Saturday, Lily woke up before her mom. She was too excited to stay in bed. She got dressed by herself and ran to the kitchen. She saw her mom was still sleeping on the couch. She had a cold and looked very tired. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to go to the library, but she also wanted her mom to feel better. She did not know what to do. She decided to make her mom some tea and toast. She had seen her mom do it before. She was careful not to spill or burn anything. + +She brought the tea and toast to her mom and said, "Mom, I made you breakfast. I hope you feel better soon. I love you." + +Her mom opened her eyes and smiled. She hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, my sweet girl. You are so kind and thoughtful. I love you too." + +She saw Lily was dressed and ready to go. She said, "Are you going to the library?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. There is a story time today. I really want to go. But I don't want to leave you alone. Can you come with me?" + +Her mom shook her head. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm too sick to go. But you can go with Mrs. Lee. She lives next door. She is going to the library too. She has a son named Ben. He is your age. Maybe you can be friends." + +Lily felt a little scared. She did not know Mrs. Lee or Ben very well. She liked to go to the library with her mom. But she also did not want to miss the story time. She said, "OK, mom. I will go with Mrs. Lee. But I will miss you." + +Her mom said, "I will miss you too. But you will have fun. And I will be here when you come back. You are a brave girl. And a lucky girl. You have a chance to hear a wonderful story and make a new friend. Go and enjoy yourself. And don't forget to tell me all about it later." + +Lily kissed her mom and said, "Bye, mom. Get well soon. I love you." + +She grabbed her backpack and ran to the door. She saw Mrs. Lee and Ben waiting for her. They smiled and waved. Lily smiled back and waved. She felt a little nervous, but also a little curious. She wondered what story they would hear and what Ben was like. She hoped he was nice and liked to play. + +She joined them and they walked to the library. Lily felt a spring in her step. She was ready for a new adventure. +Sara liked to look at the stars. She had a book with pictures of planets. She wanted to go to a planet and see new things. She believed that there were other people on some planets. She dreamed of being friends with them. + +One night, Sara saw a bright light in the sky. It was a spaceship. It came closer and closer to her window. Sara was not scared. She was excited. She opened the window and waved at the spaceship. The spaceship stopped and opened a door. A voice said, "Hello, Sara. We are from a planet called Zara. We are playful and kind. Do you want to come with us and see our planet?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She grabbed her book and climbed into the spaceship. The voice said, "We saw your book and we liked it. We have a book about your planet too. We can share our books and learn from each other. We have many fun things to show you on Zara. Are you ready?" Sara said, "Yes, I am ready. Let's go!" + +The spaceship flew away with Sara. She looked out the window and saw the stars and the planets. She was happy. She believed that she would have a wonderful adventure on Zara. She did not know that her parents would be very worried when they found her window open and her bed empty. She did not know that the people on Zara were not as playful and kind as they seemed. She did not know that they had a plan for her and her book. She did not know that she would soon wish she had never left her planet. +One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to serve tea to their dolls and stuffed animals. They had a small table and cups and spoons. They pretended to pour tea and add sugar and milk. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big, dark cloud. It was spinning very fast and making a scary sound. It was a tornado! + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted. He grabbed his sister's hand and ran to the house. They saw their mom waiting for them at the door. She looked worried. + +"Mom, mom, there's a tornado!" Lily cried. + +"I know, sweetie, I know. Come inside, quickly. We have to go to the basement. It's safe there." Mom said. She hugged them and took them downstairs. They heard the wind howling and the things flying outside. + +They sat on the couch and held each other. Mom turned on a flashlight and gave them a blanket. She told them a story to calm them down. She said the tornado would go away soon and everything would be okay. + +After a while, the noise stopped. Mom checked the radio and said the tornado was gone. She said they could go upstairs and see if everything was alright. + +Tom and Lily followed her. They saw some broken branches and trash on the ground. But their house was still standing. Their toys were still in the yard. They were happy and relieved. + +"Look, Mom, our tea party is still there!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is. You were very brave, both of you. How about we have some real tea and cookies to celebrate?" Mom said. + +"Yay, tea and cookies!" Tom and Lily said. They smiled and hugged their mom. They were glad the tornado was over and they were safe. They went inside and served tea and cookies to their mom and their dolls and stuffed animals. They felt calm and cozy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big box of blocks in the garage. They decided to build something with the blocks. + +"What do you want to build?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I want to build a basketball hoop," Ben said. "I like to play basketball." + +"OK, let's build a basketball hoop," Lily said. "But we need a ball too." + +They looked around and saw a red ball in the yard. They ran to get it and brought it back to the garage. They started to build the hoop with the blocks. + +They worked hard and had fun. They made a tall tower with a hole on top. They put the ball on the hole and tried to push it through. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lily cheered. + +"Let's play basketball!" Ben said. + +They took turns throwing the ball into the hoop. They laughed and clapped when they scored. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was the wind. It was very cold and icy outside. The wind blew hard and knocked down their hoop. + +"Oh no, our hoop!" Lily cried. + +"Our blocks!" Ben said. + +They ran to pick up the blocks. But they were too late. The wind blew the blocks away. They could not find them. + +They felt sad and angry. They wanted to play more. They blamed each other. + +"It's your fault, you made the hoop too tall!" Lily said. + +"No, it's your fault, you threw the ball too hard!" Ben said. + +They stopped being friends. They went inside and did not talk to each other. + +The next day, they saw the blocks again. They were in the neighbor's yard. The neighbor was a nice man who liked to help. He had found the blocks and kept them safe. + +He saw Lily and Ben and waved to them. + +"Hello, kids, I have something for you," he said. "I found these blocks in the street. They look like yours." + +He gave them the blocks and smiled. + +"Thank you, sir," Lily and Ben said. + +They looked at the blocks and then at each other. They felt sorry for what they said. They remembered how much fun they had. + +They hugged and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I was mean to you," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I was mean to you too," Lily said. + +They became friends again. They thanked the neighbor and went back to the garage. They decided to build something else with the blocks. + +They learned that building things is fun, but building friendships is more important. They learned that the wind can break things, but words can hurt more. They learned to be kind and forgive. +Sara and Ben are playing with crayons. They like to draw animals and color them. Sara draws a lion with a big mane and yellow fur. Ben draws a monkey with a long tail and brown fur. + +"Look at my lion!" Sara says. "He is fierce and loud. He can roar and scare other animals." + +"Look at my monkey!" Ben says. "He is smart and fast. He can swing and jump on trees." + +They show each other their drawings and clap. They are proud of their work. + +But then, they hear a noise outside. It is a big truck with a red light and a loud horn. It is coming to their street. + +"What is that?" Sara asks. She is scared of the noise. + +"It is a fire truck!" Ben says. He is excited by the sight. + +They run to the window and watch the fire truck. It stops at a house across the street. There is smoke coming out of the house. Some people are running out of the house. Some people are wearing helmets and coats. They have hoses and ladders. They are firefighters. + +The firefighters spray water on the house. They climb the ladders and break the windows. They try to put out the fire. + +Sara and Ben are amazed by the firefighters. They think they are brave and strong. They want to help them. + +"Can we be firefighters too?" Sara asks. + +"Maybe when we grow up," Ben says. + +They clap for the firefighters. They hope they can save the house and the people. They think firefighters are fierce and loud, but also smart and fast. They want to draw them and color them. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many flowers. Sara and Tom run to the truck. + +"Hello, can we see the flowers?" Sara asks the man in the truck. + +"Sure, you can see the flowers. But be careful, some have thorns." The man says. + +Sara and Tom look at the flowers. They see red, yellow, pink, and white flowers. They smell the flowers. They are very pretty and sweet. + +"Look, Tom, this is a rose. It is red and soft. I like roses." Sara says. + +"I like roses too. They are incredible. Can we have a rose?" Tom says. + +The man hears them. He smiles. He picks a rose and gives it to Sara and Tom. + +"Here, you can have this rose. It is a gift. You are very nice kids." The man says. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sara and Tom say. They are very happy. They hug the rose. They hug the man. + +The man drives away. Sara and Tom go back to the park. They play with the rose. They share the rose. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But their room is very messy. There are blocks, cars, dolls, books, and crayons everywhere. + +One day, their mom says, "Anna and Ben, it is time to clean your room. You have too many toys and no space to play. You can keep some toys, but you have to give away the others. I will help you sort them out." + +Anna and Ben do not want to give away their toys. They love all of them. They say, "No, mom, we want to keep all our toys. They are our friends. We need them." + +Mom says, "I know you love your toys, but you have too many. Some other kids do not have any toys. They would be very happy if you share with them. Look, you have two navy cars. They are the same. You can keep one and give one away. And you have three modern dolls. They are very pretty, but you only play with one. You can keep one and give two away. And you have many blocks. You can keep some and give some away. You will still have enough toys to play with, and you will make other kids happy." + +Anna and Ben think about what mom says. They remember that they have a friend, Lily, who does not have many toys. She always likes to play with their navy car and their modern doll when she comes over. They decide to give one navy car and one modern doll to Lily. They also choose some blocks and some books and some crayons to give away. They put them in a big bag. + +Mom helps them clean their room. They put the toys they want to keep in their boxes and shelves. They make their room neat and tidy. They feel good about their room and their toys. + +Mom says, "Good job, Anna and Ben. You cleaned your room very well. And you were very kind and generous to give away some of your toys. I am very proud of you. Now you have more space to play and more friends to share with." + +Anna and Ben smile and hug mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. And we love our toys. And we love Lily. We can't wait to give her the navy car and the modern doll. She will be very happy." +Ben and Mia like to play with the ball in the park. They pass the ball to each other and run and laugh. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they see a big pond in the park. It has water and ducks and fish. Ben and Mia want to see the pond. They take the ball with them and walk to the pond. + +"Look, Mia, the water is deep!" Ben says. He throws the ball into the pond. The ball makes a splash and sinks. + +"Oh no, Ben, why did you do that?" Mia says. She is sad. She likes the ball. She tries to reach the ball with her hand, but the water is too deep. + +"I'm sorry, Mia, I wanted to see the splash," Ben says. He is sorry too. He likes the ball. He looks for a stick to get the ball out, but he can't find one. + +They sit by the pond and cry. They don't have fun anymore. They miss the ball. + +Then, they hear a quack. They look up and see a duck. The duck has the ball in its mouth. The duck swims to them and drops the ball on the grass. + +"Thank you, duck!" Ben and Mia say. They are happy. They hug the duck and the ball. The duck quacks and swims away. + +Ben and Mia take the ball and go back to play. They pass the ball to each other and run and laugh. They have fun again. They are careful not to throw the ball into the pond. They like the duck. They say bye to the duck and the pond. They go home. +Lily and Tom are young friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a wet nose. + +Lily is scared of the dog. She runs away and hides behind a tree. Tom is not scared of the dog. He likes animals. He offers the dog a stick. The dog wags its tail and takes the stick. Tom and the dog play fetch. + +Lily watches from behind the tree. She wants to play too, but she is afraid. She thinks the dog might bite her or bark at her. She wishes she was brave like Tom. + +Tom sees Lily and calls her. He says the dog is nice and friendly. He says the dog's name is Max. He asks Lily to come and join them. He says they can all have fun together. + +Lily is still nervous, but she trusts Tom. She takes a deep breath and comes out from behind the tree. She walks slowly towards Tom and Max. Max sees Lily and drops the stick. He runs to Lily and licks her face. Lily is surprised, but she laughs. She pets Max and says hello. She feels happy and safe. + +Lily and Tom and Max become good friends. They play in the park every day. They have a lot of fun. They share sticks and balls and treats. They go on long walks and explore new places. They are a happy team. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big lemon tree with many yellow fruits. They wanted to pick some lemons to make juice. + +"Look, Lily, there is a big lemon!" Tom said, pointing to a fruit that was hanging low. "I can reach it!" + +Tom ran to the tree and grabbed the lemon. But it was not a lemon. It was a brown ball with spikes. It hurt Tom's hand and made him cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It's not a lemon, it's a porcupine!" Tom shouted, dropping the ball. + +Lily heard Tom's cry and ran to him. She saw his hand bleeding and the porcupine on the ground. She was scared and did not know what to do. + +"Tom, are you okay? What is that?" Lily asked, looking at the ball. + +"I don't know, Lily, it's a bad thing. It bit me!" Tom said, holding his hand. + +Lily wanted to help Tom. She saw a phone on the table. She remembered that her mom told her to call her if she needed help. She picked up the phone and pressed the buttons. + +"Hello, hello, mom, help!" Lily said into the phone. + +But no one answered. Lily did not know that the phone was broken. She tried again and again, but it was no use. + +"Mom, mom, where are you?" Lily cried, dropping the phone. + +Tom and Lily were alone in the garden. They were hurt and scared. They did not know that their mom had gone to the store and would be back soon. They did not know that the porcupine was just a toy that their dad had bought for a joke. They did not know that the phone was just a toy too. They only knew that they had picked the wrong lemon and that they were in trouble. +Lily liked to play with her toys, but she did not like to put them away. She had many toys, but they were all over the floor and the bed and the table. Her room was not organized at all. + +One day, her mom came to her room and said, "Lily, it is time to clean up your toys. You have to be organized and put them in the right places. If you do not, you might lose them or break them." + +Lily did not want to clean up. She said, "No, mom, I do not want to. I want to play more. It is too hard to put them away." + +Her mom said, "Lily, you have to listen to me. Cleaning up is not hard, it is easy. You just have to follow the rules. Look, this is how you do it. You put the dolls in the dollhouse, the cars in the garage, the books in the shelf, and the balls in the basket. See? It is not hard, it is fun. And then you can find your toys easily when you want to play again." + +Lily still did not want to clean up. She said, "No, mom, I do not want to. I want to play more. It is too boring to put them away." + +Her mom said, "Lily, you are being stubborn and rude. You have to be respectful and obedient. If you do not clean up, you will not get any dessert after dinner. And you will not get any new toys for your birthday. Do you want that?" + +Lily did not want that. She liked dessert and new toys. But she still did not want to clean up. She said, "No, mom, I do not want to. I want to play more. It is too much to put them away." + +Her mom said, "Lily, you are being selfish and lazy. You have to be responsible and helpful. If you do not clean up, you will make me very sad and angry. And you will make yourself very unhappy. Do you want that?" + +Lily did not want that. She loved her mom and she wanted to be happy. But she still did not want to clean up. She said, "No, mom, I do not want to. I want to play more. It is too hard, too boring, too much to put them away." + +Her mom said, "Lily, you are being silly and naughty. You have to be smart and good. If you do not clean up, you will have a big problem. Look, what is that under your bed?" + +Lily looked under her bed and saw a big object. It was a toy robot that she had forgotten about. She liked the toy robot, but she had not played with it for a long time. She wanted to play with it now. She reached for the toy robot, but it was too far. She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck.

It was their grandma. She had a big smile on her face and a big bag in her hand. + +"Hello, my sweeties! I have a surprise for you!" she said. She took out two big wraps from her bag. They were colorful and shiny. "These are for you, Lily and Ben. Happy birthday!" + +Lily and Ben were very happy. They hugged their grandma and thanked her. They loved surprises. They took their wraps and opened them. Inside, they found two weird toys. They were not like their teddy bear or their truck.

The duck is still stuck." + +Uncle Tom smiles and says, "Don't worry, Anna. I will save the duck too. You stay here and watch." He goes back to the water and untangles the net.

Let's pray to God now and thank him for our toy jets and our fun day." + +They closed their eyes and folded their hands. They prayed to God in their own simple words. They felt happy and peaceful. + +They opened their eyes and saw their mom coming to pick them up. They ran to her and hugged her. + +"Mom, we saw a big jet in the sky and we prayed to God!" Tom said. + +"That's wonderful, my sweeties. God loves you and hears your prayers. And I love you too. Now let's go home and have some cookies." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily smiled and followed their mom. They held their toy jets and made zooming noises. They were not scared of anything. They knew God was with them. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide. But there is a problem. The slide is too high. They cannot reach the top. + +"How can we go on the slide?" Ben asks. + +Lily thinks. She has an idea. + +"We can use our muscles!" she says. + +"What are muscles?" Ben asks. + +Lily points to her arms and legs. + +"These are muscles. They help us move and lift things. We can use our muscles to climb the slide." + +Lily shows Ben how to climb the slide. She puts her hands and feet on the steps. She pushes and pulls with her muscles. She reaches the top. + +"Wow! You are strong!" Ben says. + +"Thank you! You can do it too. Just use your muscles!" Lily says. + +Ben tries to climb the slide. He uses his muscles. He pushes and pulls. He reaches the top. + +"Yay! I did it!" Ben says. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They smile at each other. They are ready to slide. + +"Are you ready?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I am!" Ben says. + +They hold hands. They prepare to slide. They count together. + +"One, two, three, whee!" + +They slide down the slide. They laugh and scream. They have fun. + +They are friendly friends. They use their muscles. They enjoy the slide. +Lila and Sam were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with a long neck and legs. It was an ostrich. The ostrich looked sad. It had a bandage on its wing. + +"Hello, big bird. Why are you sad?" Lila asked. + +"I hurt my wing. It is not fixed. I cannot fly," the ostrich said. + +"Can we help you fix your wing?" Sam asked. + +"Maybe. But you have to be careful. There are bad people who want to catch me. They are not nice. They are mean," the ostrich said. + +Lila and Sam looked around. They saw a truck with a cage. Two men were getting out. They had nets and ropes. + +"Those are the bad people. They want to take me away. I am scared," the ostrich said. + +"Don't be scared. We will help you. We will make you safe," Lila said. + +She and Sam ran to the ostrich. They took off the bandage. They saw a small cut on the wing. They put some cream and a new bandage on it. + +"There. Your wing is fixed. You can fly now," Sam said. + +"Thank you, little friends. You are very kind. You are very brave," the ostrich said. + +It flapped its wings. It lifted off the ground. It flew over the park. It waved to Lila and Sam. + +"Goodbye, big bird. Be safe. Be happy," Lila and Sam said. + +They watched the ostrich fly away. They smiled. They felt good. They had helped a friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing with a long string. Lily wants to swing on it. She runs to the swing and sits on it. + +"Push me, Ben!" Lily says. "Push me high!" + +Ben pushes Lily on the swing. Lily is happy. She feels the wind in her hair. She sees the sky and the trees. + +But then Ben sees something. He sees a black cat on the fence. Ben likes cats. He wants to pet the cat. He stops pushing Lily and runs to the cat. + +"Ben, where are you going?" Lily asks. "Don't leave me!" + +Lily is sad. She wants Ben to push her. She does not like the black cat. She thinks the cat is mean. She tries to swing by herself, but she cannot. She is stuck on the swing. + +"Ben, come back!" Lily cries. "I need you!" + +But Ben does not hear her. He is busy with the cat. He tries to touch the cat, but the cat does not like him. The cat hisses and scratches Ben. Ben is hurt. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. "Bad cat, bad cat!" + +Lily hears Ben. She sees him crying. She forgets about the swing. She jumps off the swing and runs to Ben. She hugs him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily says. "Are you okay?" + +Ben nods. He hugs Lily back. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben says. "I should not have left you." + +Lily and Ben are friends again. They forget about the swing and the cat. They go to play with the ball. They are happy. +Mira and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they have a special job. Mommy says they have to help her wrap some gifts for their cousins. + +"Can I wrap this one?" Mira asks, holding a soft bear. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't rip the paper," Mommy says, giving her some tape and scissors. + +Ben picks up a big box. He wants to wrap it, but it is too heavy. He drops it on the floor. The box makes a loud noise. + +"Oops, sorry, Mommy," Ben says. + +"It's okay, Ben. But maybe you can wrap a smaller one. How about this one?" Mommy says, handing him a book. + +Ben nods. He likes books. He tries to wrap the book, but the paper is too big. He cuts it with the scissors, but he cuts too much. He has a lot of paper left. + +"What do I do with this?" Ben asks. + +"You can fold it or cut it more. Or you can use it for another gift," Mommy says. + +Mira finishes wrapping the bear. She puts a bow on it. She is very proud. She shows it to Mommy. + +"Look, Mommy, I wrapped the bear. It looks nice, right?" Mira says. + +"Yes, Mira, it looks very nice. You did a good job. You are very obedient," Mommy says, smiling. + +She hugs Mira and kisses her hand. + +"Thank you, Mommy. I love you," Mira says. + +"I love you too, Mira. And I love you too, Ben. You are both very helpful and sweet," Mommy says. + +She hugs and kisses Ben too. He smiles and shows her his wrapped book. + +"Look, Mommy, I wrapped the book. It looks okay, right?" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, it looks okay. You did a good job too. You are very obedient," Mommy says. + +She puts the gifts in a big bag. She tells Mira and Ben to get their coats and shoes. They are going to visit their cousins and give them the gifts. + +"Yay, let's go, Mommy. I can't wait to see them," Mira says. + +"Me too, Mommy. I hope they like the gifts," Ben says. + +They hold Mommy's hands and walk to the car. They are happy and excited. They love their Mommy and their cousins. They love to wrap gifts and to give them. They are good twins. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. But sometimes the sun is too hot and makes their skin red and sore. Mommy tells them to put on lotion before they go out. Lotion is a soft and smooth cream that helps protect their skin from the sun. + +One day, Anna and Ben forget to put on lotion. They have fun playing with their ball and their bike, but they do not notice the sun getting hotter and hotter. When they come back inside, they feel their skin burning and itching. They cry and run to Mommy. + +Mommy sees their red and sore skin and says, "Oh, no! You forgot to put on lotion! That's why your skin hurts. Come here, I will help you." She takes them to the bathroom and gently washes their skin with cool water. Then she rubs lotion all over their skin. The lotion feels cold and soothing on their skin. It makes them feel better. + +"Does that feel better?" Mommy asks. + +"Yes, Mommy, thank you!" Anna and Ben say. + +Mommy hugs them and says, "You're welcome, my loves. Next time, remember to put on lotion before you play outside, okay? Lotion helps keep your skin healthy and happy." + +"Okay, Mommy, we will!" Anna and Ben say. + +Mommy takes them to their room and tucks them in their beds. She gives them each a kiss and a teddy bear. They feel comfortable and sleepy. They close their eyes and dream of playing outside again. But this time, they will not forget to put on lotion. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to climb the big mountain behind their house. Sara was bossy and wanted to be the leader. She told Ben what to do and where to go. Ben did not like that. He wanted to have fun and explore. + +"Come on, Ben, follow me!" Sara said. "We have to reach the top before lunch." + +"No, Sara, I want to see this cave. It looks cool!" Ben said. He ran towards the dark hole in the mountain. + +"Ben, don't be silly! That cave is scary and dangerous. There might be snakes or bears inside. Come back!" Sara shouted. + +But Ben did not listen. He went inside the cave and saw something shiny. He picked it up and saw that it was a necklace with a big red stone. He was happy and put it around his neck. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud roar. He turned around and saw a big dragon with green scales and yellow eyes. The dragon was angry and opened its mouth. It wanted to bite Ben and take back its necklace. + +"Help! Help!" Ben screamed. He dropped the necklace and ran out of the cave. + +Sara heard Ben's scream and ran to him. She saw the dragon chasing him and got scared. She grabbed a stick and threw it at the dragon. The stick hit the dragon's nose and made it sneeze. The dragon stopped and rubbed its nose. It saw the necklace on the ground and picked it up. It flew away with its treasure. + +Sara hugged Ben and said, "Are you okay, Ben? I'm sorry I was bossy. I was worried about you." + +Ben hugged Sara and said, "I'm okay, Sara. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I was curious and greedy. I learned my lesson." + +They went back to their house and told their mom what happened. Their mom was glad they were safe and said, "You two are brave and lucky. You should always stick together and respect each other. That's what twins do." + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "We love you, mom. And we love each other." They smiled and hugged. They learned to be kind and careful. They never went back to the cave again. +Tom and Anna like to play pretend. They have a big box that they use as a shop. They sell food and toys to their friends. They take turns to be the shopkeeper and the customer. + +One day, Tom is the shopkeeper and Anna is the customer. Anna wants to buy a cake. Tom says, "I have a very nice cake for you. It is big and sweet and has pink icing. It costs five coins." + +Anna says, "I have five coins. Here you are. Please give me the cake." + +Tom takes the coins and puts them in a jar. He says, "Thank you for your money. I will serve you the cake now." He picks up the cake and tries to give it to Anna. + +But Tom is not careful. He drops the cake on the ground. The cake breaks into pieces. The icing gets dirty. The cake is ruined. + +Anna is very sad. She says, "Oh no! My cake! You broke my cake! You are a bad shopkeeper!" + +Tom is very sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to break your cake. Please don't be angry with me." + +Anna says, "I don't want your sorry. I want my cake. You owe me a cake. Give me another cake or give me my money back." + +Tom says, "I don't have another cake. And I don't have your money. I put it in the jar. And the jar is locked. And I don't have the key." + +Anna says, "That's not fair. You are a cheat. You are a liar. You are a thief. I don't want to play with you anymore. You are not my friend." + +Anna runs away, crying. Tom is left alone, with the broken cake and the locked jar. He feels very bad. He wishes he had been more careful. He wishes he had been a successful shopkeeper. He wishes he had not lost his friend. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they find a pin on the floor. It is shiny and sharp. + +"Look, a pin!" Lily says. "We can use it for a joke." + +"How?" Tom asks. + +Lily has an original idea. She says, "We can put it on the teacher's chair. When she sits down, she will say ouch!" + +Tom thinks this is funny. He says, "OK, let's do it. But we have to be careful. The pin can hurt us too." + +They sneak to the teacher's chair and put the pin on it. Then they hide behind a bookshelf and wait. They giggle and whisper. + +Soon, the teacher comes back. She does not see the pin. She sits down on the chair. But she does not say ouch. She says, "Oh, what a nice surprise! A pin for my dress!" + +Lily and Tom are confused. They look at the teacher. She smiles and shows them the pin. It has a flower on it. It is not a real pin. It is a fake pin. It is soft and does not hurt. + +The teacher says, "Did you put this pin on my chair? It is very pretty. Thank you for the gift. But you know, you should not play with pins. They can be dangerous. And you should not joke with people like that. They can be angry or sad. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom feel sorry. They say, "Yes, teacher. We are sorry. We wanted to make you laugh. We did not know it was a fake pin." + +The teacher says, "It's OK. I forgive you. But next time, think before you joke. And be kind to others. Now, come and sit down. It is time for a story." +Tom and Lily are playing in the yard. They have a big box and some sticks. They want to make a house for their toys. + +"Look, I have a nail!" Tom says. He shows Lily a shiny metal thing. "We can use it to make the house stronger." + +"Where did you get the nail?" Lily asks. She does not have a nail. She only has sticks. + +"I found it on the ground. It was under a leaf. Maybe it is from the big people's house." Tom says. He does not know where the nail came from. It is unknown to him. + +"Can I have the nail?" Lily asks. She wants to try it too. + +"No, it is mine. I found it first. You can have a stick." Tom says. He does not want to share the nail. He thinks it is special. + +Lily is sad. She does not like Tom's answer. She thinks he is mean. She wants to have the nail too. She thinks it is fair. + +"Please, Tom, can I have the nail for a little bit? I will give it back to you. I just want to see how it works." Lily says. She tries to be nice. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes Lily. She is his friend. He does not want to make her sad. He decides to share the nail. + +"Okay, Lily, you can have the nail for a little bit. But you have to be careful. It is sharp. It can hurt you." Tom says. He gives the nail to Lily. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I will be careful. I will not hurt myself." Lily says. She takes the nail. She is happy. + +Tom and Lily smile. They use the nail and the sticks to make the house for their toys. They have fun. They are good friends. +Anna likes to have books. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the words. Sometimes, she tries to read the words by herself. She is very intelligent. + +One day, Anna finds a book with poems. Poems are words that sound nice and make pictures in her head. She opens the book and sees a poem about a cat. She likes cats. She reads the poem out loud. + +"Cat, cat, where are you? +Are you hiding in my shoe? +Are you sleeping on the mat? +Are you chasing a big rat? +Cat, cat, come to me +You are my friend, can't you see?" + +Anna smiles. She thinks the poem is funny and cute. She wants to share it with her mom. She runs to the kitchen, where her mom is making a cake. She shows her the book and says, "Mom, mom, look at this poem. It is about a cat. Can I read it to you?" + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "Of course, my sweet Anna. I love to hear your poems. You are very clever and creative. Let me hear your poem about the cat." + +Anna reads the poem again, with joy and pride. Her mom claps and kisses her. She says, "That is a wonderful poem, Anna. You read it very well. You make me happy and proud. Do you want to help me with the cake?" + +Anna nods and says, "Yes, mom. I love to help you. And I love poems. And I love you." + +They go to the cake and have fun. Anna is happy. She has a book, a poem, a mom, and a cat. She has everything she needs. +One day, Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big rock that looked like a ball. They wanted to roll it and have fun. + +"Let's push the rock, Tom!" Lily said. + +"OK, Lily, I will help you!" Tom said. + +They pushed and pushed, but the rock was too heavy. They could not move it at all. + +"Maybe we can rock it, Lily!" Tom said. + +"Good idea, Tom, let's try!" Lily said. + +They rocked and rocked, but the rock was too hard. They could not make it shake at all. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big plane in the sky. The plane was dropping something that looked like a big egg. + +"What is that, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily, maybe it is a present!" Tom said. + +They watched as the big egg fell down and down. It hit the ground near the rock. It made a big boom. It broke the rock and the ground. It made a lot of smoke and fire. + +"Tom, look, the rock is broken!" Lily said. + +"Lily, look, the world is broken!" Tom said. + +They were scared and sad. They ran to their mom and dad. They hugged them and cried. + +"Mom, dad, what happened?" Lily asked. + +"Mom, dad, why is the world broken?" Tom asked. + +Mom and dad did not know what to say. They did not know who dropped the big egg. They did not know why they wanted to break the rock and the world. They did not know how to fix it. + +They only knew that they loved Lily and Tom. They only knew that they had to stay together. They only knew that they had to hope for a better world. +Tom and Anna were twins. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they fought over them. One evening, they wanted to play with the same car. Tom grabbed the car and said, "This is mine! You can't have it!" + +Anna was angry. She said, "No, it's not! It's ours! You are selfish! You have to share!" She tried to pull the car from Tom, but he held it tight. + +They pulled and pulled, until the car broke in half. They both gasped. They looked at the broken car and felt sad. They had cut their toy and ruined it. + +They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry. I was selfish. I should have shared." They hugged and said, "We love each other. We are twins." + +They decided to fix the car with some tape and glue. They worked together and made the car whole again. They smiled and said, "Now we can play with the car together. We are happy." They took turns driving the car and had fun. They learned to share and be kind. +Tom and Lily were playing near the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They saw a big frog sitting on a rock. "Look, a frog!" Tom said. "Let's catch it!" + +They ran to the frog, but it was too fast. It jumped into the river and swam away. Tom and Lily followed it along the bank. They wanted to see where it would go. They did not see the hole in the ground. + +Tom stepped on the hole and fell in. He screamed. "Help! Help! I'm stuck!" Lily heard him and ran back. She saw Tom's head poking out of the hole. He looked helpless and scared. + +"Don't worry, Tom, I'll get you out!" Lily said. She looked around and saw a big stick. She grabbed it and ran to the hole. She reached down and gave the stick to Tom. "Hold on to this, Tom, and I'll pull you up!" + +Tom held on to the stick and Lily pulled with all her might. She was strong and brave. She pulled Tom out of the hole and hugged him. "You're safe, Tom, you're safe!" she said. + +Tom was happy and grateful. He hugged Lily back and said, "Thank you, Lily, you're the best! You saved me!" They smiled and walked away from the hole. They decided to leave the frog alone and play somewhere else. They were glad they had each other. +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom sees a new toy in the shop. It is a big truck with lights and sounds. Tom wants the truck, but it is too much money. + +"Look, Ann, the truck is so cool!" Tom says. "I wish I had it." + +Ann looks at the truck. She thinks it is too loud and too big. She likes her doll better. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you send a letter to Santa?" Ann says. "Maybe he will give you the truck for Christmas." + +Tom likes the idea. He goes home and writes a letter to Santa. He asks for the truck and says he is a good boy. He puts the letter in an envelope and gives it to his mom. His mom says she will mail it for him. + +Tom waits for Christmas. He is very excited. He hopes Santa will bring him the truck. He dreams of driving it around the yard and making noises. + +On Christmas morning, Tom runs to the tree. He looks for a big box with his name on it. He does not see one. He sees a small box with a card. He opens the card. It says: + +"Dear Tom, I am sorry I could not bring you the truck. It was too big for my sleigh. I hope you like this gift instead. Love, Santa." + +Tom opens the box. He sees a cheap toy car. It is small and plastic. It does not have lights or sounds. It does not even move. Tom feels sad and angry. He throws the car on the floor and cries. + +Ann comes to visit Tom. She sees the car and the card. She smiles. + +"Wow, Tom, you are so lucky!" Ann says. "Santa sent you a car! It is so cute and quiet. Can I play with it?" + +Tom does not answer. He does not want to play with Ann. He does not want to play with anything. He thinks Santa is mean and Ann is silly. He wishes he had the truck. He wishes he had never sent the letter. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big box in the living room. She wondered what was inside. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is in the box?" + +Her mom said, "That is a surprise for your birthday, Lily. You have to wait until tomorrow to open it. Don't touch it, okay?" + +Lily nodded, but she still wanted to peek inside the box. She thought, maybe there is a toy or a book or a dress or some other stuff that she would like. She waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen. Then she tiptoed to the box and lifted the lid a little bit. + +She saw something shiny and colorful. She reached out her hand to grab it. But then she heard her mom's voice, "Lily, what are you doing?" + +Lily felt guilty and scared. She quickly dropped the lid and ran to her mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was just curious. I wanted to see what was in the box." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I know, Lily. But you have to resist your curiosity sometimes. It is more fun to wait for a surprise. And you might break or lose something if you touch it without permission. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded again. She said, "I understand, mom. I won't touch the box again. I will wait until tomorrow. I love you, mom." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, how about we make some cookies together?" + +Lily smiled and followed her mom to the kitchen. She forgot about the box for a while. She was happy to help her mom and enjoy the cookies. She thought, maybe tomorrow she will get something even better than what she saw in the box. She couldn't wait to find out. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They had a red wagon that they liked to fill with toys and pull around. They saw a big black car enter the street. It was very shiny and loud. + +"Wow, look at that car!" Tom said. "It is so big and black!" + +"I don't like it," Lily said. "It is scary and noisy. I like our wagon better. It is red and quiet." + +The black car stopped in front of their house. A man got out of the car. He was wearing a black suit and a black hat. He looked at Tom and Lily and smiled. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "I am your uncle Jack. I came to visit you and your mom and dad. Can I see your wagon?" + +Tom and Lily did not know who uncle Jack was. They felt shy and scared. They did not want to share their wagon with him. + +"No, you can't," Tom said. "This is our wagon. Go away!" + +Lily nodded. She hid behind Tom and held his hand. + +Uncle Jack looked sad. He did not mean to scare them. He wanted to be nice and play with them. + +"I'm sorry, kids," he said. "I didn't mean to upset you. I just wanted to say hello and see your wagon. It looks very fun and pretty. Can I give you a hug?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not know what to do. They did not like the black car or the black suit or the black hat. But they saw that uncle Jack had kind eyes and a gentle voice. Maybe he was not so bad after all. + +"OK, you can hug us," Lily said. "But only a little bit." + +Uncle Jack smiled. He bent down and gave them a little hug. He felt their soft hair and warm skin. He was happy to meet them. + +"Thank you, kids," he said. "You are very sweet and brave. I love you very much. Can I pull your wagon with you?" + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They decided to give uncle Jack a chance. They liked his hug and his voice. Maybe he could be fun and nice. + +"OK, you can pull our wagon with us," Tom said. "But only for a little while." + +Uncle Jack nodded. He took the handle of the wagon and started to pull it. Tom and Lily followed him. They showed him their toys and their yard. They laughed and talked. They had a good time. + +They forgot about the black car and the black suit and the black hat. They only saw uncle Jack and his kind eyes and his gentle voice. They were glad he came to visit them. They made a new friend. +Sara liked to cook with her mom. They made cakes and pies and soup. Sara wanted to cook like her mom when she grew up. She wanted to work in a restaurant and make yummy food for people. + +One day, Sara's mom had to go to the store. She told Sara to be careful and not touch the stove or the knives. She said she would be back soon. Sara said okay and gave her mom a hug. + +But Sara was bored. She wanted to cook something. She saw a big pot on the stove. She thought it was empty. She climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. She did not know the pot was hot. She burned her hand and dropped the pot. The pot made a loud noise and spilled water everywhere. Sara cried and cried. + +Her mom heard the noise and came back. She saw Sara and the mess. She was scared and angry. She ran to Sara and checked her hand. She saw a red mark. She said, "Sara, what did you do? You were not careful. You hurt yourself and made a mess. You are not ready to cook. You are in big trouble." + +Sara felt sorry and sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to cook like you. I wanted to make you happy. I did not know the pot was hot. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm not mad at you, Sara. I love you. But you have to listen to me and be careful. Cooking is not a game. It can be dangerous. You have to wait until you are older and learn how to cook safely. Come on, let's go to the doctor and fix your hand." + +Sara nodded and went with her mom. She still liked to cook, but she learned to be more careful. She hoped that one day, she could work in a restaurant and make yummy food for people. But not today. Today, she had a bad day. +Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. Every night, she would close her eyes and imagine wonderful things. She dreamed of flying in the sky, swimming with the fish, and playing with the stars. She also dreamed of having a gift for her birthday. + +One day, her mom told her, "Lily, your birthday is tomorrow. Do you have a wish?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I wish for a gift. A gift that is big and soft and colorful." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you, Lily. I hope your wish comes true." + +The next morning, Lily woke up and saw a big box on her bed. She was so excited. She opened the box and found a huge teddy bear inside. It was big and soft and colorful. It had a red bow around its neck and a tag that said, "Happy birthday, Lily. From your generous friend, Max." + +Lily was so happy. She hugged the teddy bear and said, "Thank you, Max. You are the best friend ever. You made my dream come true." + +Max was Lily's neighbor. He was a kind boy who liked to share. He had saved his money for a long time to buy the teddy bear for Lily. He knew she liked to dream and he wanted to make her happy. + +He knocked on Lily's door and said, "Hi, Lily. Happy birthday. Do you like your gift?" + +Lily ran to the door and said, "Yes, Max. I love it. It is the best gift ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you." + +She invited Max to come in and play with her and the teddy bear. They had a lot of fun. They pretended to fly in the sky, swim with the fish, and play with the stars. They also ate cake and sang songs. + +Lily and Max were very happy. They were good friends who liked to dream and be generous. They made each other's dreams come true. +Lily and Tom were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, they saw a big mill near the river. It had a big wheel that turned with the water. + +"Let's go see the mill!" Lily said. "Maybe we can have a look inside." + +"OK, but be careful," Tom said. "It might be old and dangerous." + +They walked to the mill and found a door that was open. They went inside and saw a lot of machines and tools. They were curious and wanted to touch everything. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. She picked up a hammer and hit a nail. + +"Bang! Bang! Bang!" + +"Stop that!" Tom said. "You might break something." + +He saw a lever and pulled it. "What does this do?" + +Suddenly, the machines started to make loud noises and move. The wheel outside spun faster and faster. The mill shook and rattled. + +"Uh-oh," Tom said. "I think we made a mistake." + +"Let's get out of here!" Lily said. They ran to the door, but it was locked. They were trapped inside the mill. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We are in the mill!" + +Luckily, a farmer heard their cries and came to the mill. He saw the wheel spinning out of control and the door locked. He got a key and opened the door. He saw Lily and Tom and was angry. + +"What are you doing here?" he asked. "You could have hurt yourselves or damaged the mill. This is not a place to play." + +"We are sorry, sir," Lily and Tom said. "We were just curious. We wanted to see the mill." + +"Well, curiosity is good, but you have to be careful and respectful," the farmer said. "The mill is very old and important. It makes flour from wheat. Do you know what flour is?" + +"Yes, sir," Lily and Tom said. "It is what you use to make bread and cake." + +"That's right," the farmer said. "The mill is a part of our history and culture. It is not a toy. If you want to learn more about it, you can ask me nicely and I will show you. But you have to promise to never go inside the mill without permission again. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, sir," Lily and Tom said. "We promise. We are sorry for the trouble." + +The farmer nodded and smiled. He was not so angry anymore. He saw that Lily and Tom were adventurous, but also good kids. He decided to give them a tour of the mill and explain how it worked. He also gave them some fresh bread and cake made from the flour. Lily and Tom thanked him and enjoyed the treats. They learned a lot and had fun. They also learned to be more careful and respectful. They never went inside the mill without permission again. +Tom and Sue wanted to play with the mule on the farm. The mule was big and brown and had long ears. He liked to eat grass and hay. Tom and Sue liked to pet him and feed him carrots. + +One day, Tom and Sue found a pair of scissors in the barn. They had an idea. They wanted to cut the mule's hair and make him look fine. They thought the mule would like it too. + +They sneaked up to the mule and started to cut his hair. They cut his mane, his tail, and his ears. They made him look funny. They laughed and laughed. + +But the mule did not like it. He felt cold and itchy. He felt angry and sad. He did not want to look funny. He wanted to look like a mule. + +He kicked and bucked and ran away. He chased Tom and Sue out of the barn. He brayed and snorted and showed his teeth. He wanted them to leave him alone. + +Tom and Sue were scared and sorry. They dropped the scissors and ran to their mom. They told her what they did. She was not happy. She told them to go back and say sorry to the mule. She told them to never cut his hair again. She told them to be kind and gentle to animals. + +Tom and Sue learned their lesson. They went back and said sorry to the mule. They gave him a blanket and a hug. They promised to be his friends. The mule forgave them. He still looked funny, but he felt fine. +Lily liked to draw with her pink pen. She drew flowers and stars and hearts on her paper. She was very happy with her pen. + +One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He saw her pink pen and wanted to play with it. He grabbed the pen from Lily and ran away. Lily was very sad and angry. She chased after Tom and shouted, "Give me back my pen!" + +Tom ran into the living room and saw his toy gun on the couch. He had an idea. He put the pen in the gun and pointed it at Lily. He said, "Ha ha, I have your pen and I will shoot you with it!" + +Lily was scared and stopped running. She did not like guns. She said, "No, Tom, don't shoot me with my pen! That is not nice!" + +But Tom did not listen. He pulled the trigger and the pen flew out of the gun. It hit Lily on the nose and made a pink mark. Lily cried and Tom laughed. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the living room. She saw Lily crying and Tom laughing. She saw the pen and the gun and the pink mark. She was very angry. She said, "Tom, what did you do? You hurt your sister and you ruined her pen! That is very bad!" + +She took the gun and the pen from Tom and gave them to Lily. She said, "Lily, I'm sorry that Tom hurt you and your pen. Here, you can have them back. Tom, you have to say sorry to Lily and go to your room. You are in trouble!" + +Tom said sorry to Lily and went to his room. He was not happy. Lily said thank you to Mom and hugged her. She was happy. She went back to her room and drew more flowers and stars and hearts with her pink pen. She was very happy with her pen. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to watch TV after dinner. But today, the TV is not working. It has no sound and no picture. Tom and Lily are sad and bored. + +"Mom, can you fix the TV?" Tom asks. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I don't know how to fix it. We need to call someone who can help us," Mom says. + +"Who can help us, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe Uncle Bob can help us. He is very dependable. He knows a lot about TVs and other things. He can attach the wires and make the TV work again," Mom says. + +Mom calls Uncle Bob on the phone. Uncle Bob says he can come over and fix the TV. Tom and Lily are happy. They wait for Uncle Bob to arrive. + +Soon, Uncle Bob comes to the house. He brings his tools and his smile. He looks at the TV and finds the problem. He attaches the wires that are loose and turns on the TV. The TV works again. It has sound and picture. Tom and Lily cheer and clap. + +"Thank you, Uncle Bob. You are the best. You fixed the TV," Tom says. + +"You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad I could help. You and Lily are very good kids. You are patient and polite," Uncle Bob says. + +Tom and Lily hug Uncle Bob. They watch their favorite show on the TV. They are happy and grateful. Mom is happy and grateful too. She thanks Uncle Bob for being so dependable and kind. +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play and share. But they also liked cookies very much. One day, their mom baked some cookies for them and put them on a plate. She said, "You can have one cookie each after lunch, but not before. Be good and wait, okay?" + +Lily and Sam nodded and went to play with their toys. But Sam was very hungry and wanted a cookie now. He thought, "Maybe mom won't notice if I take one. Lily won't tell on me. She is nice." He sneaked to the kitchen and grabbed a cookie from the plate. It was warm and mild and sweet. He ate it fast and hid the crumbs. + +Lily saw Sam come back from the kitchen with a smile. She asked, "Did you have a cookie, Sam?" Sam lied and said, "No, I just drank some water." Lily did not believe him. She saw some crumbs on his shirt. She felt sad and angry. She said, "You are not nice, Sam. You took a cookie before lunch. Mom said no. You broke the rule. You are a bad boy." + +Sam felt guilty and scared. He did not want mom to find out. He did not want Lily to be mad at him. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was hungry. Please don't tell mom. Please forgive me." Lily said, "I don't know, Sam. You have to be sorry and good. You have to pray and say sorry to God too. He sees everything. He knows you lied." + +Sam did not know how to pray. He asked Lily, "How do I pray, Lily?" Lily said, "You close your eyes and fold your hands and talk to God in your heart. You say, 'Dear God, I'm sorry for taking a cookie and lying. Please forgive me and help me to be good. Thank you for loving me. Amen.'" Sam did what Lily said. He prayed and said sorry to God. He felt better and hoped God would forgive him. + +Lily saw Sam pray and felt sorry for him too. She said, "Okay, Sam. I forgive you. But you have to promise not to do it again. And you have to share your next cookie with me." Sam said, "Okay, Lily. I promise. And I will share my cookie with you. You are a good sister. I love you." Lily said, "I love you too, Sam. Come on, let's play." They hugged and went to play with their toys. They waited for lunch and their cookies. They were happy and good. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big lemon tree with many yellow fruits. They wanted to try some, so they picked two lemons and ran to the kitchen. + +"Look, Mom, we found lemons!" Tim said, holding his lemon proudly. + +"Good job, Tim and Kim. But be careful, lemons are very sour. They can make your mouth pucker and your eyes water." Mom said, smiling. + +Tim and Kim did not know what sour meant, but they wanted to taste the lemons. They each took a bite and made a funny face. + +"Yuck! This is not good!" Kim said, spitting out the lemon. + +"It hurts my tongue!" Tim said, rubbing his mouth. + +They both dropped their lemons and ran to Mom for a hug. Mom gave them some water and a cookie to make them feel better. + +"Why did you give us bad fruits, Mom?" Kim asked, still trembling. + +"I did not give them to you, you picked them yourselves. Lemons are not bad, they are just different. Some people like them, some people don't. They are good for making juice or cake or dressing. But they are not good for eating like that." Mom explained. + +"Oh, I see. Next time, can we have apples instead?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, Tim. Apples are sweet and crunchy and good for you. But remember, always ask me before you eat something from the garden. Some things can be dangerous or make you sick." Mom said. + +"OK, Mom. We will. We love you." Tim and Kim said. + +"I love you too, my sweet twins." Mom said, kissing them on the cheek. +Tom and Sue wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a big sack of flour in the kitchen. They poured some flour into a bowl and added some eggs and milk. Then they used a spoon to mix everything together. + +"Look, we are making a cake!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it will be yummy!" Sue said. + +But they did not know that Dad had put some spicy peppers in the sack of flour. He wanted to make a spicy bread for dinner. He forgot to tell Mom and the kids. + +When Tom and Sue tasted the cake batter, they felt a hot and burning feeling in their mouths. They spit out the batter and ran to the sink. They drank some water and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! This cake is spicy!" Tom said. + +"Ow, ow, ow! This is not a cake, this is a fire!" Sue said. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the peppers in the sack of flour. She understood what happened and hugged Tom and Sue. + +"I'm sorry, my loves. Dad made a mistake. He put the peppers in the wrong sack. He did not mean to hurt you. Let's make a new cake with the right flour. And let's add some sugar and chocolate to make it sweet and yummy. How does that sound?" Mom said. + +Tom and Sue nodded and smiled. They still felt a little hot in their mouths, but they felt better with Mom's hug and kiss. They helped Mom make a new cake and put it in the oven. They hoped Dad would like it too. And they hoped he would not put any more peppers in the flour sack. +Lily and Tom were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to pretend that the dolls were their babies and they were the mommies and daddies. Lily had a pink doll and Tom had a blue doll. + +"Look, my baby can talk!" Lily said. She made her doll say "Mama, mama" in a high voice. + +"That's not fair!" Tom said. He wanted his doll to talk too. He made his doll say "Dada, dada" in a low voice. + +But Lily did not hear him. She was too busy talking to her doll. She put her doll's ear close to her mouth and whispered "I love you, baby. You are the best baby ever." + +Tom felt troubled. He felt like Lily did not want to play with him. He felt like Lily liked her doll more than him. He felt angry and sad. + +He grabbed Lily's doll and threw it on the ground. "Your baby is stupid and ugly!" he shouted. + +Lily gasped. She saw her doll lying on the grass with dirt on its face and clothes. She felt hurt and scared. She ran to her doll and picked it up. She hugged it and cried. + +"Tom, why did you do that?" she sobbed. "You are mean and bad!" + +Tom saw Lily crying and felt sorry. He realized that he had done something wrong. He did not want to hurt Lily or her doll. He wanted to be her friend. + +He walked to Lily and said "I'm sorry, Lily. I was jealous of your doll. I wanted you to play with me. I did not mean to make you cry." + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sorry. She felt a little better. She wiped her tears and said "It's okay, Tom. I'm sorry too. I should have listened to you. I like your doll too. He is a good baby." + +Tom smiled and said "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Can we play together?" + +Lily nodded and said "Yes, Tom. We can play together. Let's share our dolls and be nice to them." + +They hugged and said sorry to their dolls. They put their dolls' ears close to their mouths and whispered "We love you, babies. You are the best babies ever." +Lily and Ben were playing knights and dragons in the backyard. Lily had a big shield made of cardboard and Ben had a toy sword. They pretended to fight the scary dragon that lived in the bushes. + +"Roar! I am the dragon and I will eat you!" Ben shouted, waving his sword. + +"No, you won't! I have a shield and I am brave!" Lily said, holding her shield in front of her. + +They ran around the yard, having fun. But then, Lily's shield got caught on a branch and ripped. She was sad and angry. + +"Hey, that's not fair! You broke my shield!" Lily cried. + +"I didn't mean to! It was an accident!" Ben said. + +"Well, now I can't play anymore! You ruined everything!" Lily said. + +She threw her shield on the ground and ran inside the house. Ben felt bad and sorry. He wanted to make Lily happy again. He thought hard and had an idea. He was smart and creative. + +He took some tape and some crayons and fixed Lily's shield. He also drew some flowers and stars on it to make it look pretty. He ran inside the house and looked for Lily. + +"Lily, Lily, where are you?" Ben called. + +He found her in her room, sitting on her bed. She was still sad and angry. + +"Go away, Ben! I don't want to talk to you!" Lily said. + +"Please, Lily, look what I have for you!" Ben said. + +He showed her the shield he fixed and decorated. Lily looked at it and was surprised. It looked even better than before. + +"Wow, Ben, you did this?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I did. I'm sorry I broke your shield. I wanted to make it up to you. Do you like it?" Ben asked. + +Lily smiled and nodded. She liked it a lot. She hugged Ben and thanked him. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice and smart. I'm sorry I was mad at you. Do you want to play with me again?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I do. I'm glad you are happy again. You are very brave and kind. Let's go play knights and dragons again!" Ben said. + +They took the shield and the sword and ran outside. They played and laughed and had fun. They were good friends. The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. They do not like to share or take turns. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom. Mom says they can play on the swings and slides. But Lily and Ben see a big yellow taxi in the parking lot. They both want to sit in the taxi and pretend to drive. + +They run to the taxi and pull on the door. But the door is locked. They try the other door. It is locked too. They get angry and start to push and shout. + +"Let me in! Let me in!" Lily cries. + +"No, let me in! Let me in!" Ben yells. + +They do not see the taxi driver coming back. He is a big man with a frown. He does not like the noise and the mess. He opens the door and grabs Lily and Ben by the arms. + +"Hey, what are you doing? This is my taxi, not yours. You are bad kids. Go away!" he says in a loud voice. + +He puts them down and slams the door. Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They run back to Mom and hug her. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We wanted to play in the taxi, but the man was mean. He said we are bad kids," Lily says. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not listen to you. We should have played on the swings and slides, not the taxi," Ben says. + +Mom hugs them and kisses them. She says, "It's okay, my loves. I forgive you. But you have to learn to share and take turns. And you have to respect other people's things. The taxi is not yours. It belongs to the man. He works hard to earn money with it. He was angry because you disturbed him and could have damaged his taxi. He was not mean. He was just doing his job. You are not bad kids. You are good kids. But you have to be careful and polite. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will be good." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's good. Now, let's go and have some fun on the swings and slides. And maybe later, we can take a taxi ride and say thank you to the driver. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben clap and say, "Yes, Mom. That sounds great. We love you, Mom." + +They hold Mom's hand and walk to the playground. They play nicely and happily. They learn their lesson. They do not fight over the taxi anymore. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to swim in the pool. They play a game. They dive in the water and see who can go deeper. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom says. He and Lily dive in the pool. They hold their breath and swim down. Tom sees a blue ball at the bottom. He tries to get it. Lily sees a yellow ball. She tries to get it. + +Tom gets the blue ball. He swims up. He is happy. He thinks he will win. He looks for Lily. He does not see her. He wonders where she is. + +Lily gets the yellow ball. She swims up. She is happy. She thinks she will win. She looks for Tom. She sees him. She waves at him. + +"Look, I got the yellow ball!" Lily says. "I went deeper than you!" + +"No, I got the blue ball!" Tom says. "I went deeper than you!" + +They swim to the edge of the pool. They show their balls to each other. They argue. They do not know who went deeper. + +"Let's ask Mom!" Tom says. He and Lily get out of the pool. They run to Mom. They show their balls to Mom. They ask her who went deeper. + +Mom smiles. She hugs them. She says, "You both did a great job. You both went very deep. You both win!" + +Tom and Lily smile. They hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom!" They are happy. They are friends. They share their balls. They play some more. They have fun. +Sara likes to do yoga with her mom. Yoga is when you make shapes with your body and breathe slowly. Sara thinks yoga is fun and good for her. She likes to copy her mom and stretch her arms and legs. + +One day, Sara and her mom are doing yoga in the living room. Sara sees a bird outside the window. The bird is red and yellow and sings a pretty song. Sara wants to talk to the bird. She says, "Hello, bird! What is your name?" + +But the bird does not reply. The bird keeps singing and flying. Sara tries again. She says, "Hello, bird! Do you want to do yoga with us?" But the bird does not reply. The bird lands on a branch and looks at Sara. + +Sara feels sad. She thinks the bird does not like her. She asks her mom, "Mom, why does the bird not reply? Does the bird not hear me?" + +Her mom smiles and hugs Sara. She says, "No, sweetie, the bird is not deaf. The bird hears you, but the bird does not speak your language. The bird speaks bird language. You speak human language. You and the bird are different, but you can still be friends. You can enjoy the bird's song and the bird can enjoy your smile." + +Sara feels happy. She understands what her mom says. She says, "Thank you, mom. I like the bird and the bird likes me. We are different, but we are friends." She waves to the bird and the bird sings back. Sara and her mom continue to do yoga and listen to the bird. They are happy and peaceful. +Sam and Mia are friends who like to play together. They have many toys and games in their room. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they fight. One day, they are playing with a big train set. Sam wants to be the driver, and Mia wants to be the passenger. They both pull on the train and make loud noises. + +"Let me drive!" Sam says. "I am the best driver!" + +"No, let me drive!" Mia says. "I am the best passenger!" + +They do not listen to each other. They are stubborn. They make the train fall off the track and break. They are sad and angry. + +Mom comes into the room and sees the mess. She is not happy. She tells Sam and Mia to stop fighting and clean up. She says they need to nap after they finish. They do not want to nap. They want to play more. + +"Nap? No!" Sam says. "I am not sleepy!" + +"Nap? No!" Mia says. "I am not sleepy!" + +They do not listen to Mom. They are stubborn. They hide under the bed and pretend to sleep. They think Mom will not find them. + +But Mom is smart. She knows where they are. She lifts the bed sheet and sees them. She smiles and says, "I see you, you silly players. You cannot fool me. Come on, it is time to nap. You will feel better after you rest. And maybe you will learn to share and be nice." + +Sam and Mia look at each other. They feel sorry for breaking the train and making Mom unhappy. They nod and follow Mom to their beds. They hug their teddy bears and close their eyes. They nap and dream of playing with the train again. They are not stubborn anymore. They are friends. +Lily was a little girl who liked to wonder about many things. She liked to wonder why the sky was blue, why the birds sang, and why the flowers smelled nice. She also liked to wonder what was in her mom's big closet, where she kept many pretty things. + +One day, when her mom was out, Lily decided to sneak into the closet and look around. She saw many dresses, shoes, hats, and bags. She also saw some bottles on a shelf. They had different colors and shapes. Lily wondered what they were. + +She reached for one of the bottles and opened it. She smelled something sweet and strong. It was perfume. Lily liked the smell, so she sprayed some on her neck and wrists. She felt very grown-up and happy. + +She reached for another bottle and opened it. She smelled something sour and sharp. It was vinegar. Lily did not like the smell, so she made a face and closed the bottle. She wondered why her mom had vinegar in her closet. + +She reached for a third bottle and opened it. She smelled something hard and cold. It was ice. Lily was very surprised and curious. She wondered how ice could be in a bottle. She touched the ice with her finger and felt a sting. It was very cold and hurt her finger. She dropped the bottle and cried. + +She heard the door open and her mom's voice. "Lily, what are you doing in my closet?" her mom asked. She saw the bottles on the floor and the ice melting. She saw Lily's finger and the perfume on her skin. She was not happy. She was angry. + +"Lily, you should not touch my things without asking. You could have hurt yourself or broken something. Perfume and vinegar and ice are not for playing. They are for different purposes. Do you understand?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded and said sorry. She did not understand why her mom had perfume and vinegar and ice in her closet, but she did not want to wonder anymore. She wanted to hug her mom and say sorry again. She learned that some things are better left alone. +Ben and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The snowman did not say anything. He just stood there, cold and still. + +"Maybe he is shy," Lily said. "Or maybe he is lonely. He needs a friend." + +Lily had an idea. She ran to the house and came back with a small doll. She put the doll in the snowman's arms. + +"Look, Ben! Now he has a friend. Maybe he will talk to us now." + +The snowman did not talk. He just held the doll, cold and still. + +But something happened that Ben and Lily did not see. The snowman felt a warm feeling in his chest. It was a spirit, a spark of life. He wanted to talk to the children, to thank them for their kindness. He wanted to smile and laugh and play. + +He tried to move his mouth, but it was frozen. He tried to move his eyes, but they were stuck. He tried to reach out his hand, but it was heavy. + +He could not move. He could not talk. He could only feel. + +He felt sad. He felt trapped. He felt cold. + +He wished he could be a real friend to Ben and Lily. He wished he could be alive. +Lily and Ben love to play with their toy cars. They zoom them on the floor, on the sofa, and on the table. They make loud noises like vroom, beep, and honk. They pretend they are drivers and go to different places. + +One day, they decide to zoom their cars to the pet shop. They want to see the fish in the big tank. They put on their coats and hats and zoom out of the door. They say bye to their mom and dad and promise to be back soon. + +At the pet shop, they see many fish of different colors and shapes. They are amazed by how they swim and shine. They press their noses to the glass and watch them closely. They point and name the fish they know, like goldfish, clownfish, and starfish. + +"Look, Ben, that fish has a long tail and a big mouth. What is it?" Lily asks. + +"I think it is a swordfish. It can poke other fish with its tail. It is very cool," Ben says. + +"I like that fish better. It has stripes and spots and a funny face. It is very pretty," Lily says. + +They are talking about a zebra fish and a puffer fish. They do not know their names, but they like them anyway. + +A man who works at the pet shop sees them and smiles. He comes over and says hello. He asks them if they like fish. They nod and say yes. He tells them the names of the fish they like and some facts about them. He also gives them some fish food to feed them. They are very happy and thank him. + +They sprinkle the fish food into the tank and watch the fish come and eat. They see their mouths open and close and their fins flap. They think the fish are very sweet and hungry. They giggle and clap their hands. + +They zoom their cars around the tank and pretend they are fish too. They have a lot of fun at the pet shop. They decide they want to have a fish as a pet someday. They zoom back home and tell their mom and dad all about their adventure. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. They like to make noises and pretend they are cars, planes, and robots. They have a lot of fun together. + +But then, Ben sees a cable on the floor. It is black and long and shiny. He wonders what it is for. He picks it up and pulls it. It is attached to the TV. Ben thinks it is a snake. He is not afraid of snakes. He wants to cut it. + +He runs to the kitchen and finds a pair of scissors. He comes back to the living room and says to Mia, "Look, Mia, I have a snake. I will cut it and make it shorter." + +Mia sees the cable and the scissors. She knows they are not for playing. She knows they are dangerous. She says to Ben, "No, Ben, don't cut it. It is not a snake. It is a cable. It makes the TV work. If you cut it, the TV will stop. And Mom and Dad will be mad." + +But Ben does not listen. He thinks Mia is silly. He thinks he is brave. He cuts the cable with the scissors. There is a loud pop and a spark. The TV goes dark. Ben and Mia are scared. They drop the cable and the scissors and run to their room. + +Mom and Dad come home and see the mess. They see the cut cable and the broken TV. They are not happy. They go to Ben and Mia's room and ask them what happened. Ben and Mia tell them the truth. They say they are sorry. + +Mom and Dad are not happy, but they are not angry. They hug Ben and Mia and tell them they love them. They tell them they should not play with cables and scissors. They tell them they should listen to each other. They tell them they are charming, but they need to be careful. Ben and Mia nod and say they understand. They promise to be good. They cuddle with Mom and Dad and watch a story on the tablet. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They are happy. + +But then, a big boy comes. He is mean. He grabs the hat and the scarf from the snowman. He laughs and runs away. Anna and Ben are sad. They want their snowman to be nice again. + +They chase the big boy. They catch him. They grab the hat and the scarf back. They are angry. They want to hit the big boy. + +But then, they stop. They think. They remember what their mom and dad say. They say, "Be kind. Do not hurt others. Share and care." + +They look at the big boy. He is cold. He has no hat and no scarf. He is sorry. He says, "I am sorry. I was bad. I wanted a hat and a scarf too. I have none." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for him. They have an idea. They say, "We can share. You can have our hat and scarf. But you have to be nice. You have to help us make another snowman. OK?" + +The big boy nods. He smiles. He says, "OK. Thank you. You are good friends. I will help you." + +They go back to the snow. They make another snowman. They give him the hat and the scarf. They all play together. They are happy. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind. Do not hurt others. Share and care. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun and sharing nicely. + +But then, a loud noise came from outside. It sounded like thunder. Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt fearful. They did not like thunder. It made them think of scary things. + +"What is that?" Lily asked, holding her doll tightly. + +"I don't know," Ben said, pushing his car under the sofa. "Maybe it is a monster." + +They ran to the window and peeked outside. They saw a big truck with a red light on top. It was making the noise. It was not a monster. It was a fire truck. + +The fire truck stopped in front of their house. Two men in yellow suits came out. They had a hose and a ladder. They looked at the house next door. It had smoke coming out of it. There was a fire. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for their neighbors. They hoped they were safe. They also felt brave. They wanted to help. + +They grabbed their toys and ran outside. They waved at the men in yellow suits. They gave them their toys. + +"Here, take these," Lily said. "Maybe they can make the fire go away." + +"Or maybe they can make the people happy," Ben said. + +The men in yellow suits smiled. They thanked Lily and Ben. They told them they were very kind and generous. They said they would give the toys to the people who lived in the house next door. They said they would put out the fire soon. + +Lily and Ben felt proud. They had done a good thing. They had not let their fear stop them. They had shared their toys with others. They learned that helping others is more important than keeping things for themselves. They hugged each other and went back inside. They waited for the noise to stop. They hoped their neighbors would be okay. They knew they had new friends in the men in yellow suits. +Sara and Ben are playing with plastic toys in the living room. They like to make pretend stories with their toys. Sara has a plastic doll and Ben has a plastic car. + +"Let's play work," Sara says. "You can be a driver and I can be a teacher." + +"OK," Ben says. "Where do you work?" + +"I work at the school. I teach the kids how to read and write and draw. What do you do?" + +"I work at the store. I deliver the food and the clothes and the books. I drive very fast and careful." + +They play work for a while, making noises and voices for their toys. They have fun. + +But then they hear a loud noise outside. It sounds like a big truck. They look out the window and see a big truck with a big claw. The truck is picking up the trash cans and dumping them into the back. + +"What is that?" Sara asks, feeling fearful. + +"That is the trash truck," Ben says. "It takes away the trash and the old things. It is very noisy and strong." + +Sara and Ben watch the trash truck. They see it pick up their neighbor's trash can. They see some plastic toys fall out of the trash can and into the truck. + +"Look!" Sara says. "Those are toys! Why are they in the trash?" + +"Maybe they are broken or dirty or old," Ben says. "Maybe they don't want them anymore." + +Sara and Ben feel sad for the toys. They think about their own plastic toys. They don't want them to go in the trash. They like their toys. They hug their toys. + +"Let's not play work anymore," Sara says. "Let's play home. We can make a home for our toys and keep them safe and happy." + +"OK," Ben says. "Let's do that." + +They take their plastic toys and make a home for them on the couch. They use pillows and blankets and books. They make a bed and a table and a sofa. They talk to their toys and give them names and stories. They forget about the trash truck and the fearful noise. They have fun. +Lila loved her bracelet. It was a gifted bracelet from her grandma. It had shiny beads and a pink heart. She wore it every day and showed it to her friends. + +One day, Lila went to the park with her mom. She saw a girl with a big balloon. She wanted to play with the balloon. She ran to the girl and said, "Can I have your balloon?" + +The girl said, "No, this is my balloon. Go away." + +Lila was angry. She said, "Give me your balloon or I will take your hairband." + +The girl said, "No, this is my hairband. You are mean." + +They started to pull and push each other. Lila's mom saw them and ran to stop them. She said, "Lila, what are you doing? You can't take other people's things. You have to share and be nice." + +Lila said, "But I want the balloon. It is so big and pretty." + +Her mom said, "You have a beautiful bracelet. You should be happy with what you have. And you should apologize to the girl." + +Lila looked at her wrist. But her bracelet was gone. She had lost it in the fight. She felt a big hole in her heart. She started to cry. + +She said, "Mom, where is my bracelet? I can't find it. I want my bracelet. It was a gifted bracelet from grandma." + +Her mom said, "Oh, Lila, I'm sorry. Maybe it fell somewhere. Let's look for it." + +They searched the park, but they could not find the bracelet. It had disappeared. Lila felt very sad and sorry. She wished she had not been greedy and mean. She wished she had her bracelet back. But it was too late. She had lost her gifted bracelet forever. +Lily and Ben were very happy to see snow outside. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They ran outside to play in the white and cold snow. They made a big snowman with a carrot nose, a scarf, a hat and buttons. They gave him a jolly smile. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "You are our new friend. Do you like the snow?" + +"Yes, I do!" Ben said, pretending to be the snowman. "But I like you more. You are very nice and fun." + +Lily and Ben laughed and hugged the snowman. They played with him for a long time. They rolled snowballs and threw them at each other. They made snow angels and snow forts. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, the sun came out. It was very bright and warm. The snow started to melt. Lily and Ben saw the snowman getting smaller and smaller. His nose fell off. His scarf and hat slipped down. His buttons disappeared. His smile faded away. + +"Mr. Snowman, no!" Lily cried. "Don't go away! We love you!" + +"Please, stay with us!" Ben begged. "We don't want to lose you!" + +But it was too late. The snowman was gone. There was only a puddle of water left. Lily and Ben were very sad. They cried and cried. They did not recognize their friend anymore. They wished the snow would come back. But it did not. The end. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. They put one block on top of another block. They are happy. + +But then, Lily sees a red block. She likes red. She wants the red block. She decides to take the red block from the tower. She pulls the red block. + +Oh no! The tower falls down. All the blocks are on the floor. Ben is angry. He says, "Lily, why did you do that? You made the tower fall down. That was not nice." + +Lily is sad. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I just wanted the red block. I like red. Red is pretty." + +Ben is frustrated. He says, "But Lily, you can't just take a block from the tower. You have to ask first. Or you have to find another red block. There are more red blocks under the table. Look." + +Lily looks under the table. She sees more red blocks. She says, "Oh, you're right, Ben. There are more red blocks under the table. Can I have one?" + +Ben says, "Yes, you can have one. But you have to help me build the tower again. OK?" + +Lily says, "OK, Ben. I will help you build the tower again. And I will ask you before I take a block. I'm sorry I made you angry." + +Ben says, "It's OK, Lily. I'm not angry anymore. You are my friend. Let's build the tower together." + +Lily and Ben smile. They pick up the blocks from the floor. They start to build the tower again. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to pretend that their dolls were having a tea party. They had a small table, some cups and plates, and a jar of cream. + +"Can I have some cream for my doll?" Ben asked Lily. + +"Sure, here you go," Lily said, and gave him the jar. "But be careful, don't tear the lid. It is fake." + +Ben tried to open the jar, but he pulled too hard. The lid tore and the cream spilled out. It was sticky and white. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. "I tore the lid! The cream is everywhere!" + +Lily was angry. She liked the cream. It was her favorite. She glared at Ben. + +"Look what you did!" she shouted. "You ruined the tea party! You are a bad brother!" + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to tear the lid. He wanted to make Lily happy. He looked at the cream. He had an idea. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "But maybe we can still have fun. Look, the cream is like snow. We can make snowmen with our dolls." + +He took some cream and rolled it into a ball. He put it on his doll's head. He smiled. + +"See? It is fun," he said. + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw his smile. She felt less angry. She took some cream and rolled it into a ball. She put it on her doll's head. She smiled too. + +"OK, Ben," she said. "Maybe you are not so bad. Let's make snowmen with our dolls. But next time, be more careful with the cream." +Lily and Max were playing with blocks in the living room. They were excited to build a big tower with many colors. Lily put a red block on top of a blue block. Max put a yellow block on top of a green block. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so high!" Max said. + +"Yes, Max, it is very high. Let's make it higher!" Lily said. + +They kept adding more blocks to their tower. They were careful not to make it fall. They wanted to see how high they could go. + +But then, Mom came into the living room. She saw the mess of blocks on the floor. She was not happy. + +"Kids, what are you doing? You need to quit playing with blocks and clean up this mess. It is time for dinner." Mom said. + +Lily and Max did not want to quit playing with blocks. They wanted to finish their tower. They did not want to clean up. + +"No, Mom, we are not done. We want to play more. Please, Mom, let us play more." Lily said. + +"No, Mom, we are not hungry. We want to see how high our tower can go. Please, Mom, let us see." Max said. + +Mom did not listen to Lily and Max. She was angry. She walked over to their tower and pushed it down. The blocks fell to the floor with a loud noise. Lily and Max were shocked. They saw their tower break into pieces. + +"Mom, why did you do that? You ruined our tower. You are mean." Lily said. + +"Mom, that was not fair. You did not let us finish. You are bad." Max said. + +They both started to cry. They pouted their lips and crossed their arms. They did not want to talk to Mom. They did not want to eat dinner. They did not want to do anything. + +Mom felt sorry for Lily and Max. She knew they were excited to play with blocks. She knew she was too harsh. She tried to hug them and say sorry. But they pushed her away. They did not want her hug. They did not want her sorry. They did not want her. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and sing songs. One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box has a hole on one side. Lily has an idea. + +"Let's perform a show for Mom and Dad!" she says. "We can use the box as a stage. I will be a princess and you will be a dragon." + +Ben nods. He likes to pretend. He puts on a green hat and a long tail. Lily wears a pink dress and a crown. They go to the living room and call their parents. + +"Mom, Dad, come and see our show!" they shout. + +Mom and Dad sit on the couch and smile. They are happy to see their children having fun. + +Lily and Ben start their show. Lily stands behind the box and sticks her head out of the hole. She sings a song about being a princess. Ben waits behind the box and makes growling noises. He is ready to scare Lily. + +Lily finishes her song and bows. She says, "Thank you, thank you. And now, the dragon will come and try to eat me. But I will be brave and fight him." + +She looks at Ben and winks. Ben winks back. He runs out of the box and roars. He pretends to chase Lily around the room. Lily screams and laughs. She picks up a pillow and hits Ben with it. Ben falls down and pretends to be hurt. + +"Ha, ha, I win!" Lily says. "The dragon is no match for me. I am the best princess ever." + +She runs to the couch and hugs Mom and Dad. They clap and cheer. They tell Lily and Ben that they did a great job. + +Lily and Ben are very happy. They want to perform again. They go back to the box and get ready for another show. + +But they do not see the big scissors on the floor. The scissors are sharp and shiny. Mom and Dad use them to cut paper and cloth. They forgot to put them away. + +Ben steps on the scissors. He feels a sharp pain in his foot. He cries out loud. He drops his hat and tail. He bleeds a lot. + +Lily hears Ben's cry. She turns around and sees his face. His face is red and scared. She sees the scissors and the blood. She screams. + +Mom and Dad hear the screams. They jump off the couch and run to Ben. They see his wound and panic. They call for help. They try to stop the bleeding. + +Lily watches and cries. She does not understand what happened. She thinks it is her fault. She thinks she hurt Ben with the pillow. She thinks she is a bad princess. + +She wishes they never found the box. She wishes they never performed the show. She wishes Ben was okay. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. Ben and Lily want to watch the ducks and fish. + +"Mom, can we watch the ducks and fish?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. The pond is deep. Don't go too close to the water," Mom says. + +Ben and Lily nod and run to the pond. They see the ducks swimming and quacking. They see the fish jumping and splashing. They are happy and excited. + +"Look, Lily, that duck has a green head. It is pretty," Ben says. + +"Look, Ben, that fish has a red tail. It is shiny," Lily says. + +They watch the ducks and fish for a long time. They learn their colors and shapes. They have fun. + +But then, Ben sees something else. He sees a big stick on the other side of the pond. He wants to get the stick. He thinks it is a good toy. + +"Mom, I want that stick. Can I get it?" Ben asks. + +"No, Ben, you can't. The pond is deep. You have to stay on this side. The stick is too far away," Mom says. + +But Ben does not listen. He thinks he can get the stick. He runs to the other side of the pond. He does not see the way. He does not see the rocks. He does not see the water. + +"Ben, stop! Come back!" Mom shouts. + +But it is too late. Ben slips on a rock. He falls into the pond. He is scared. He is wet. He is cold. + +"Help! Help!" Ben cries. + +Mom runs to the pond. She jumps into the water. She grabs Ben. She pulls him out. She hugs him. She is angry. She is worried. + +"Ben, you are naughty. You did not listen to me. You could have drowned. The pond is deep. You are lucky I was here," Mom says. + +Ben is sorry. He is sorry he did not listen. He is sorry he scared Mom. He is sorry he lost the stick. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry I did not listen. I'm sorry I scared you. I'm sorry I lost the stick," Ben says. + +Mom is still angry. But she is also glad. She is glad Ben is safe. She is glad he is sorry. + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are safe. I'm glad you are sorry. But don't do that again. The pond is deep. You have to be careful," Mom says. + +Ben and Lily hug Mom. They say they love her. They say they will be careful. They go home. They change their clothes. They have a snack. They watch a movie. They forget about the pond. They forget about the stick. They are happy. They are twins. +Sam and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves near the fence. Sam had an idea. + +"Let's burn the leaves!" he said. "It will be fun and make a lot of smoke!" + +Lily was not sure. She knew that fire was dangerous and could hurt them. She also knew that the leaves belonged to the park and they should not make a mess. + +"No, Sam, that is a bad idea," she said. "Fire can burn us and the park. We should not play with fire. It is not fun, it is broken." + +But Sam did not listen. He took a match from his pocket and lit the leaves. The leaves caught fire and made a big flame. Sam was happy and laughed. He did not see that the fire was spreading to the fence and the grass. + +"Look, Lily, look!" he said. "The fire is so big and bright!" + +Lily was scared. She saw that the fire was getting out of control and could reach the trees and the houses. She also saw a man running towards them with a bucket of water. + +"Sam, stop, stop!" she said. "The fire is too big and dangerous! We have to put it out!" + +But it was too late. The man reached them and threw the water on the fire. He was angry and shouted at them. + +"What are you doing, you silly kids?" he said. "You could have burned the whole park and hurt yourselves and others! Don't you know that fire is not a toy? It is a broken thing that can cause a lot of damage!" + +Sam and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They realized that they had made a big mistake and that they should have listened to Lily. They apologized to the man and to the park. They learned that fire is not something to play with and that they should respect the park and the things in it. They also learned that Lily was a good friend who cared for them and the park. They decided to be more careful and responsible next time. They hugged each other and went home. +Tom and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big truck that could make noises and move. They liked to pretend that the truck was a monster that could destroy anything. + +"Watch out, Mia!" Tom said. "The truck is coming to destroy your doll!" + +"No, Tom!" Mia said. "Don't destroy my doll! She is my friend!" + +But Tom did not listen. He pushed the truck towards Mia's doll and made it crash into her. Mia's doll fell on the floor and her dress got torn. + +"Mia, I'm sorry!" Tom said. "I was just playing. I didn't mean to destroy your doll." + +Mia was very sad. She picked up her doll and hugged her. She saw that her dress had a big hole in it. + +"Look what you did, Tom!" Mia said. "You destroyed my doll's dress! How can I fix it?" + +Tom felt bad. He wanted to make Mia happy again. He looked around and saw a wrap on the table. It was a gift for their mom. He had an idea. + +"Mia, I have an idea!" Tom said. "We can use the wrap to make a new dress for your doll!" + +Mia looked at Tom. She was not sure. + +"Are you sure, Tom?" Mia said. "That wrap is for mom. We can't take it." + +Tom nodded. + +"Yes, we can!" Tom said. "Mom won't mind. She will be happy that we are sharing and being creative. Come on, let's try it!" + +Mia agreed. She and Tom took the wrap and cut it with scissors. They wrapped it around Mia's doll and made a new dress for her. They used tape to hold it together. They were very proud of their work. + +"Look, Mia!" Tom said. "Your doll has a new dress! She looks very pretty!" + +Mia smiled. + +"Thank you, Tom!" Mia said. "You are very nice. I like your idea. My doll looks very pretty!" + +They hugged each other and played with their toys again. They were very happy. + +But then they heard a voice. + +"Tom! Mia! What are you doing?" It was their mom. She had come home from work. She saw the wrap on the floor and the scissors and the tape. She saw the gift that was open and the doll that was wearing it. + +"Tom! Mia! What did you do?" Mom said. "You destroyed the wrap! That was a gift for me! How could you do that?" + +Tom and Mia were scared. They did not know what to say. They looked at each other and then at their mom. + +"We're sorry, mom!" Tom and Mia said. "We didn't mean to destroy the wrap. We wanted to make a new dress for Mia's doll. We thought you would be happy." + +Mom looked at them. She saw their faces and their toys. She saw the new dress that they had made. She saw that they were trying to be nice and creative. She sighed. + +"Tom, Mia, I know you were trying to be nice and creative." Mom said. "But you can't destroy things that are not yours. That is not right. You have to be obedient and ask before you use something. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Mia nodded. + +"Yes, mom, we understand." Tom and Mia said. "We're sorry. We won't do it again." + +Mom smiled. + +"Okay, I forgive you." Mom said. "But you have to clean up this mess and help me wrap a new gift. And you have to share your toys and play nicely. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Mia nodded. + +"Yes, mom, we can do that." Tom and Mia said. "We love you, mom." + +They hugged their mom and helped her clean up. They wrapped a new gift for her and gave it to her. They played nicely with their toys and with each other. They were very obedient. +Poppy was a red flower who lived in a big field. She liked to dance in the sun and talk to her friends, the other flowers. She was happy and bright. + +One day, the sky became dark and gray. Poppy heard a loud noise and felt something wet on her petals. It was rain. Poppy did not like rain. It made her cold and sad. She wanted the sun to come back. + +"Rain, rain, go away!" she said. "You are not nice. You hurt me and my friends." + +But the rain did not listen. It kept falling and falling. Poppy saw some of her friends fall down and not get up. They were dead. Poppy was scared. She tried to hold on to the ground, but the rain was too strong. She felt herself slipping and sliding. + +"Help, help!" she cried. "Someone, please help me!" + +She saw a big hand reach out and grab her. It was a boy. He had a yellow coat and a blue hat. He smiled at her and put her in his pocket. + +"Hello, little flower," he said. "You are very pretty. I will take you home and keep you safe. Do not be afraid. I will be your friend." + +Poppy felt warm and dry in his pocket. She was still sad for her friends, but she was also glad to have a new friend. She hoped he would be nice to her and give her some sun. She smiled back at him and said, "Thank you, boy. You are very kind. I will be your friend too." +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big garden with many flowers and trees. They also had a hedge that was very long and green. The hedge was attractive and made the garden look nice. + +One day, Tim and Sam found some sticks and stones. They thought they could use them to make a fort. They started to pile them up near the hedge. But they needed more sticks and stones. They looked around and saw the hedge. They thought the hedge had many sticks and stones inside. + +They ran to the hedge and started to pull and break the branches. They did not care that they were hurting the hedge. They did not care that they were making a mess. They only wanted to make their fort bigger and stronger. + +Soon, the hedge was destroyed. It was not long and green anymore. It was short and brown and ugly. The garden did not look nice anymore. It looked sad and dirty. + +Tim and Sam were happy with their fort. They did not notice the hedge. They did not notice their mother. She came outside and saw what they had done. She was very angry and sad. She shouted at them and told them to go inside. She told them they had been very bad and naughty. She told them they had to say sorry to the hedge and help her fix it. + +Tim and Sam felt sorry. They did not mean to destroy the hedge. They did not know it was attractive and important. They said sorry to the hedge and their mother. They helped her plant new branches and water them. They learned to be careful and kind to the hedge and the garden. They learned to use only their own sticks and stones for their fort. They learned to play outside without making trouble. +Lily and Max are brother and sister. They like to play in the garden with their dog, Spot. Spot is big and furry and loves to run and bark. He also loves to protect Lily and Max from anything scary. + +One day, Lily and Max find a hole in the fence. They are curious and want to see what is on the other side. They crawl through the hole and see a big forest. They see trees and flowers and birds and bugs. They think it is fun and beautiful. + +But they do not see the big bear that is sleeping in the forest. The bear is deep asleep and does not hear them. But Spot hears them and smells the bear. He knows the bear is dangerous and can hurt Lily and Max. He runs after them and barks very loud. + +The bear wakes up and sees Spot. He is angry and roars. He wants to chase Spot away. But Spot does not run. He stands in front of Lily and Max and growls. He tries to protect them from the bear. + +Lily and Max are scared and cry. They want to go back to the garden. They hug Spot and thank him for being brave. They crawl back through the hole and run to their house. They tell their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad are glad they are safe and hug them. They also hug Spot and give him a treat. They say he is a good dog and a hero. Lily and Max agree. They love Spot very much. +Lily and Max were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and games. They liked to pretend they were pirates or astronauts or fairies. Sometimes they made a lot of noise and their mom would tell them to be calm. + +One day, they found a big box in their room. It was brown and had a hole on one side. They wondered what was inside. They decided to play with it. They took turns crawling inside the hole and pretending they were in a secret place. + +"Max, it's your turn to go inside the box," Lily said. "I will count to ten and then you come out." + +"Okay, Lily," Max said. He crawled inside the hole and disappeared. + +Lily started to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Max, come out now!" + +But Max did not come out. Lily waited and waited. She called his name. She looked inside the hole. She could not see him. She felt scared. Where did Max go? + +She ran to the door and opened it. She yelled for her mom. "Mom, mom, Max disappeared!" + +Her mom came running. She saw Lily crying and the box in the room. She hugged Lily and asked her what happened. + +"Lily, calm down. Tell me what happened. Where is Max?" + +Lily told her mom about the box and the hole and the game. Her mom looked inside the box. She smiled and said, "Lily, don't worry. Max is not gone. He is hiding. Look, there is another hole on the other side of the box. He crawled through it and came out behind the bed. He is playing a trick on you." + +Lily looked behind the bed. She saw Max giggling and waving at her. She felt happy and relieved. She ran to him and hugged him. "Max, you scared me. Don't do that again." + +Max said sorry and hugged her back. He said he was just joking. He said he loved her. + +Their mom said they were both very brave and clever. She said they could keep playing with the box, but they had to be calm and nice to each other. She said she loved them too. + +Lily and Max said they loved their mom. They thanked her for the box. They went back to their room and played with the box. They had a lot of fun. They did not disappear again. +Lily and Sam love to ride their bikes. They have red bikes with big wheels and bells. They like to go fast and ring their bells. One day, they see a big hill near their house. It looks like a mountain to them. + +"Let's ride up the mountain!" Sam says. He is excited. He likes to try new things. + +"Okay!" Lily says. She is excited too. She likes to follow Sam. They pedal hard and go up the hill. It is hard work, but they are happy. + +They reach the top of the hill and look around. They see their house, their school, and their park. They see cars and trees and birds. They feel proud and brave. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily says. "We are so high!" + +"Yes, we are!" Sam says. "But you know what is more fun? Going down!" + +They smile at each other and get ready to ride down the hill. They hold their bikes and push off. They go very fast and feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream and ring their bells. They have the best time ever. They ride down the mountain. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a rose. It was red and pretty. + +"Can I have it?" Lily asked. + +"No, it is mine," Ben said. He pulled the rose from the ground. + +"Ow!" Ben cried. The rose had thorns. They hurt his hand. He dropped the rose. It was broken. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She picked up the rose. She tried to fix it. She gave it to Ben. + +"Here, you can have it," Lily said. "I am sorry you are hurt." + +Ben looked at the rose. He looked at Lily. He was angry. He did not trust Lily. He thought she broke the rose on purpose. + +He threw the rose at Lily. It hit her face. It hurt her too. She cried. + +Ben ran away. He did not say sorry. He did not want to be friends with Lily anymore. + +Lily was sad. She did not understand why Ben was mean. She did not break the rose. She wanted to help him. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be selfish. Do not blame others for your mistakes. Do not hurt your friends. Trust is important. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They lived in a big house near a valley with many trees and flowers. One day, they decided to go for a walk in the valley and see what they could find. + +They saw a rabbit, a bird, a butterfly, and a frog. They were very happy and curious. They picked some flowers and put them in their hair. They chased the rabbit and the butterfly. They tried to catch the frog, but it was too fast and slippery. + +Then, they saw a big hill with a cave. They wanted to see what was inside the cave. They climbed the hill and went into the cave. It was dark and cold and quiet. They held hands and walked deeper into the cave. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It was a bear! The bear was angry and hungry. It saw Lily and Tom and wanted to eat them. It ran towards them, showing its big teeth and claws. + +Lily and Tom were very scared. They turned around and ran out of the cave. They yelled for help. They yelled very loud. + +Their mom and dad heard them. They were in the house, making it tidy and clean. They ran out of the house and saw Lily and Tom running from the cave. They saw the bear behind them. They were very worried and brave. + +They grabbed a stick and a stone and threw them at the bear. The bear was hurt and scared. It stopped chasing Lily and Tom and ran away. It went back to the cave and hid. + +Lily and Tom ran to their mom and dad. They hugged them and cried. They were safe and sorry. They said they were sorry for going into the cave. They said they would never do it again. + +Their mom and dad were glad and proud. They said they were glad they were safe and proud they were brave. They said they loved them very much. They said they should always be careful and listen to them. + +They went back to the house and had some cake and milk. They told each other what they saw in the valley. They laughed and smiled. They were happy and tired. They went to bed and slept well. They dreamed of rabbits and butterflies and frogs. They did not dream of bears. +Anna was sad. She had no friends to play with at the park. She sat on a bench and looked at the grass. She wished she had a lollipop to make her feel better. + +Then she saw a boy with a big smile. He had a lollipop in his hand. He walked up to her and said, "Hi, I'm Ben.
