+They hug Mom and say they love her. They learn to play nicely with their boats and the port.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. They pretended they were racing on a big road.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to win!" Tom said.
+
+"No, I'm faster, you can't catch me!" Lily said.
+
+They were having fun, but they did not see that Mom was busy polishing the table. She wanted to make it shiny and clean. She did not like the noise and the mess.
+
+"Tom, Lily, please be quiet and tidy up your toys. I'm trying to polish the table and you are making it hard for me," Mom said.
+
+But Tom and Lily did not listen. They kept playing and making noise. They did not care about the table.
+
+Suddenly, they felt the floor shake. They heard a loud rumble. The windows rattled. The lamps swung. The books fell. The table moved. It was an earthquake!
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped their toy cars and ran to Mom. Mom hugged them and told them to stay calm.
+
+"Mom, what's happening? What's an earthquake?" Tom asked.
+
+"An earthquake is when the ground moves and shakes. Sometimes it happens because of the rocks under the ground. It can be dangerous, but we are safe here. Don't worry, it will stop soon," Mom explained.
+
+The earthquake stopped after a few seconds. Everything was quiet. Tom and Lily looked around. They saw their toy cars on the floor. They saw the table with scratches and dust. They felt sorry for Mom.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry. We were not quiet and we did not tidy up our toys. We made your table dirty and not shiny. Can we help you polish it?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She was glad they were okay and they learned their lesson.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Tom. Yes, you can help me polish the table. And next time, please listen to me when I ask you to be quiet and tidy up. Okay?" Mom said.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We love you," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They took a cloth and some polish and helped Mom make the table shiny and clean again. They learned to be quiet and respectful when Mom was polishing. They also learned what an earthquake was and how to be safe. They were happy and proud.
+Ben was a boy who liked to grow things. He had a small garden with flowers and carrots and beans. He watered them every day and watched them grow bigger and bigger. He was very proud of his garden.
+
+One day, he heard about a contest at school. The teacher said that the children who grew the best plants would get a prize. Ben wanted to win the prize. He thought it would be a toy or a book or a candy. He worked hard on his garden and hoped to win.
+
+The day of the contest came. Ben brought his biggest and prettiest flower to school. He put it on a table with the other children's plants. He looked around and saw many nice plants. But he thought his flower was the best.
+
+The teacher came and looked at all the plants. She smiled and said they were all very good. She said she would pick the winner soon. Ben waited and waited. He was sure he would win.
+
+But he did not win. The teacher picked another flower. It was bigger and prettier than Ben's flower. It was from Lily, a girl who had long hair and a big smile. The teacher gave Lily the prize. It was a hat. A big, fuzzy, colorful hat. Lily put it on her head and said thank you. She looked very happy.
+
+Ben felt very sad. He did not get the prize. He did not get the hat. He looked at his flower. It looked small and dull. He felt like crying. He wished he had a hat. He wished he had hair. He was bald. He had no hair. He hated being bald. He hated his flower. He hated Lily. He hated everything. He threw his flower on the floor and ran away. He did not want to grow anything ever again.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the yard with their dog, Spot. They liked to run and jump and throw the ball for Spot. Spot was a good dog and always brought the ball back.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck stop in front of their house. A man got out of the truck and opened the back. He had a lot of animals in cages. He had a lion, a bear, a monkey, and a snake. Lily and Tom were scared of the animals. They ran inside and told their mom.
+
+The man was not a nice man. He was a bad man who took animals from their homes and sold them for money. He did not care if the animals were happy or sad. He only cared about the money.
+
+While the man was talking on his phone, the monkey saw a chance to escape. He used his clever hands to open his cage and the cages of the other animals. He wanted to help his friends be free.
+
+The lion, the bear, the monkey, and the snake ran out of the truck and into the yard. They saw Spot and wanted to play with him. Spot was not afraid of the animals. He was a brave dog and wanted to make new friends.
+
+Lily and Tom heard the noise and looked out the window. They saw the animals and Spot having fun. They smiled and laughed. They wanted to join them.
+
+The man saw the animals and Spot and got angry. He grabbed a heavy leather whip and ran after them. He wanted to catch them and put them back in the cages.
+
+But the animals and Spot were too fast and smart for him. They dodged and bit and scratched and hissed at him. They made him drop his whip and run away.
+
+Lily and Tom came out of the house and hugged the animals and Spot. They thanked them for saving them from the bad man. They gave them some food and water and petted them.
+
+The animals and Spot were happy and grateful. They decided to stay with Lily and Tom and their mom. They became a big happy family.
+Anna loved to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She danced with her doll, her dog, and her mom. She wanted to be a dancer when she grew up.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Anna, I have a surprise for you. We are going to see a show with real dancers. They wear beautiful dresses and shoes and they dance on a big stage. Do you want to go?"
+
+Anna was very happy. She said, "Yes, yes, yes! I want to see the dancers. Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever."
+
+They got ready and went to the theater. Anna wore her favorite dress and shoes. She held her mom's hand and looked around. She saw many people, lights, and posters. She was very excited.
+
+They found their seats and waited for the show to start. Anna saw a curtain on the stage. She wondered what was behind it. She asked her mom, "Mom, when will the dancers come out?"
+
+Mom said, "Soon, Anna. Soon. You have to be quiet and patient. The show will start soon."
+
+Anna nodded. She tried to be quiet and patient. But she was also very curious. She wanted to see the dancers. She wanted to see what they could do.
+
+She saw a small gap in the curtain. She thought, maybe I can peek and see the dancers. She let go of her mom's hand and walked to the curtain. She was very naughty. She did not listen to her mom.
+
+She pushed the curtain a little and looked inside. She saw a dancer. She was wearing a pink dress and shoes. She had long hair and a smile. She was very beautiful.
+
+Anna was amazed. She said, "Wow! You are a dancer. You are so pretty. Can I dance with you?"
+
+The dancer heard Anna. She was surprised. She said, "Who are you? How did you get here? You are not supposed to be here. You have to go back to your seat. The show is about to start."
+
+Anna did not understand. She said, "But I want to dance with you. I love to dance. Please, can I dance with you?"
+
+The dancer said, "No, you can't. You have to go back to your mom. She must be worried about you. This is not a place for children. This is a place for dancers. Please, go back to your seat. Now."
+
+Anna was sad. She did not want to go back. She wanted to stay with the dancer. She wanted to be a dancer.
+
+But then she heard a loud noise. It was the music. The show was starting. The curtain was opening. The dancer said, "Oh no! You have to hide. You can't be seen. Quick, go under the table. Stay there until the show is over. Don't make a sound. Don't move. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna was scared. She did not know what to do. She nodded. She ran under the table. She hid. She saw the dancer run to the stage. She saw the lights and the people. She saw the show.
+
+She did not like the show. She did not like to hide. She did not like to be naughty. She wanted to go back to her mom. She wanted to say sorry. She wanted to hug her mom.
+
+She waited and waited. She hoped the show would end soon. She hoped her mom would find her. She hoped the dancer would forgive her.
+
+She learned a lesson. She learned to be quiet and patient. She learned to listen to her mom. She learned to not be naughty.
+
+She still loved to dance. But she also loved to be good.
+Lily liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang to her toys, her mom, her dad, and her cat. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and made-up songs.
+
+One night, Lily saw a bright light in the sky. It was a star. She wondered if the star could hear her sing. She wanted to sing to the star. She climbed on her bed and opened the window. She looked at the star and sang a song.
+
+"Hello, star, can you hear me? I like to sing to you. You are so shiny and pretty. Do you like to sing, too? Do you have friends in the sky? Do you play with them at night? Do you ever get lonely? Do you wish you had a light?"
+
+The star heard Lily's song. It liked her voice. It wanted to sing back to her. It twinkled and flashed. It made a soft sound. It was a playful star. It sang a song to Lily.
+
+"Hello, Lily, I can hear you. I like to hear you sing. You are so sweet and brave. I like to sing, too. I have friends in the sky. We play with each other at night. I never get lonely. I have you as my light."
+Sara was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. She always wanted to see what was behind the next hill or under the next rock. She did not like to settle in one spot for too long.
+
+One day, she found a big cave in the woods. She was curious and wanted to go inside. She took a flashlight and a rope and walked into the dark hole. She saw many strange and wonderful things, like shiny rocks, dripping water and funny noises.
+
+But as she went deeper into the cave, she also saw some scary things, like bats, spiders and bones. She felt a cold wind on her face and heard a loud roar. She shivered and turned around. She saw a big figure with sharp teeth and claws. It was a bear!
+
+Sara was very afraid and ran as fast as she could. She followed the rope back to the entrance of the cave. She hoped the bear would not catch her. She reached the daylight and saw her mom waiting for her. She hugged her mom and told her what happened.
+
+Her mom was glad that Sara was safe, but also angry that Sara went into the cave without telling her. She said that Sara was too adventurous and that she should not go to dangerous places alone. She said that Sara had to settle down and listen to her rules.
+
+Sara felt sorry and said that she would not do it again. She learned that being adventurous was fun, but also risky. She decided that she would only explore new places with her mom or her friends. She also decided that she would not go near the cave again. She did not want to see the bear or the scary figure ever again.
+Tim and his dad went to the park to play. Tim liked to swing and slide and run. His dad liked to watch him and smile. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But when they wanted to go home, his dad looked worried. He said, "Oh no, Tim, I forgot my wallet. It was in the car. We need it to buy ice cream and to take the bus. What can we do?"
+
+Tim thought hard. He remembered something. He said, "Dad, I have an idea. Do you see that big dog over there? The one with the brown fur and the fierce teeth? He looks like the dog in the book you read to me last night. The one that chased the thief and got the wallet back. Maybe he can help us."
+
+His dad looked at the dog. He was not sure. He said, "Tim, that dog looks scary. He might bite us. And he does not know us. How can he help us?"
+
+Tim said, "Don't be afraid, dad. He is a good dog. He likes to help people. He will remind you where you left your wallet. Just follow him and see."
+
+Tim and his dad walked slowly to the dog. The dog saw them and wagged his tail. He barked and ran to the car. He scratched the door and sniffed the window. He barked again and looked at them.
+
+Tim and his dad followed the dog. They opened the car and saw the wallet on the seat. They were very happy. They thanked the dog and gave him a hug. The dog licked their faces and wagged his tail.
+
+They took the wallet and went to buy ice cream. They shared it with the dog. Then they took the bus and went home. They had a great day.
+Lila and Ben are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is a big teddy bear. The teddy bear is soft and brown and has a red bow. They call him Mr. Bear.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben are playing with Mr. Bear in the garden. They pretend that he is a king and they are his knights. They make a crown for him out of flowers and grass. They also make a sword for him out of a stick. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Lila's mom calls her. She says that it is time to go home. Lila is sad. She does not want to leave Ben and Mr. Bear. She hugs them both and says goodbye.
+
+"Can I take Mr. Bear with me?" she asks Ben.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He loves Mr. Bear too. He does not want to share him. But he also loves Lila. He does not want to make her sad. He looks at Mr. Bear. He seems to smile at him.
+
+"Okay, you can take him," he says. "But you have to bring him back tomorrow. He will miss me."
+
+Lila is happy. She thanks Ben and kisses him on the cheek. She takes Mr. Bear and runs to her mom. She holds him tight and says, "You are adorable, Mr. Bear. I will take good care of you. But you have to stay with me tonight. You will like my bed. It is cozy and warm."
+
+Mr. Bear does not say anything. He just looks at Lila with his big eyes. He likes Lila. She is kind and sweet. But he also likes Ben. He is fun and brave. He hopes that they will play together again tomorrow. He thinks that they are both adorable. He is glad that he has two friends. He is a lucky teddy bear.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their dad's car keys. They liked to pretend they were driving to different places. They saw a small card on the key ring. It had dad's picture and some words. They did not know what it was.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked.
+
+"I think it is a license," Tom said. "Dad needs it to drive the car."
+
+"Can we have a license too?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Maybe we can make one," Tom said. He had an idea. He took the card and ran to the kitchen. He found the microwave and put the card inside. He pressed some buttons.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing?" Lily followed him.
+
+"I am making the license smaller, so it can fit us," Tom said. He smiled.
+
+But the microwave made a loud noise and sparks. The card started to burn and shrink. It smelled bad. The microwave stopped working.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They took out the card. It was very small and dark. They could not see dad's picture or the words anymore.
+
+"Oh no, we broke dad's license!" Lily cried.
+
+"And the microwave too!" Tom said.
+
+They heard dad coming home. They tried to hide the card and the keys. But dad saw them and the smoke.
+
+"What did you do?" dad asked. He was very angry.
+
+Tom and Lily felt very bad. They knew they were in trouble. They wished they had not played with dad's car keys and license. They wished they had not used the microwave. They wished they had listened to dad.
+Lily liked to play the flute. She had a small flute that made pretty sounds. She learned how to blow and press the holes from her big sister. Lily wanted to play the flute for her family.
+
+She had to prepare for her show. She practiced every day in her room. She played songs that she knew and made up some new ones. She asked her sister to help her sometimes. Her sister was dependable. She always helped Lily when she needed it.
+
+The day of the show came. Lily was excited and nervous. She put on her best dress and combed her hair. She took her flute and went to the living room. Her family was waiting for her. They smiled and clapped. Lily felt happy. She played her flute for them. She played her best songs and some new ones. Her family listened and cheered. Lily felt proud. She thanked her sister for helping her. Her sister hugged her and said she did great. Lily loved her flute and her family.
+Anna loves pandas. She has a big panda toy that she hugs every night. She calls her panda toy Lily. Lily is very soft and kind. She listens to Anna's stories and songs.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the zoo with her mom and dad. She is very excited to see the real pandas. She runs to the panda enclosure and looks for them. She sees two pandas eating bamboo. They are black and white and fluffy. Anna thinks they are beautiful.
+
+She points to them and says, "Look, mom, dad, pandas! They are like Lily, but bigger!"
+
+Her mom and dad smile and say, "Yes, they are pandas. They are very special animals. Do you want to learn more about them?"
+
+Anna nods and says, "Yes, please!"
+
+Her mom and dad take her to a sign that has pictures and words about pandas. They read the words to her and explain what they mean. Anna learns that pandas live in China, that they are endangered, and that they like to climb trees and play.
+
+She also learns that pandas can turn their heads almost all the way around. She thinks that is amazing. She tries to turn her head like a panda, but she can only turn it a little bit. She says, "Wow, pandas can turn their heads so much! I wish I could do that!"
+
+Her mom and dad laugh and say, "Maybe you can practice at home with Lily. She can turn her head too, you know."
+
+Anna says, "Really? I didn't know that. I want to try!"
+
+She runs back to the panda enclosure and waves to the pandas. She says, "Bye, pandas! You are so cool and kind! I hope to see you again!"
+
+She hugs her mom and dad and says, "Thank you for taking me to the zoo. I had so much fun!"
+
+They hug her back and say, "You're welcome, Anna. We love you very much. And we love Lily too."
+
+They go home and Anna plays with Lily. She turns Lily's head and says, "Look, Lily, you can turn your head like a panda! You are the best panda toy ever!"
+
+Lily smiles and says, "I love you, Anna. You are the best panda friend ever!"
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play and joke. One day, they find a big hill. They want to climb it. They think it is fun.
+
+But on the hill, there are many bugs. The bugs bite Tom and Sam. Tom and Sam feel itch. They scratch and scratch. They do not like the bugs.
+
+They see a big tree. The tree has green leaves. They run to the tree. They hope the tree can help them. They hide under the tree. They wait for the bugs to go away.
+
+But the tree is not a good tree. The tree is a mighty tree. The tree can talk. The tree is not nice. The tree likes to joke. The tree says, "Hello, little boys. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They do not want to play with the tree. They want to go home. They say, "No, thank you, tree. We have to go now. Bye-bye, tree."
+
+But the tree does not let them go. The tree says, "Oh, come on, don't be shy. I have a game for you. It is very fun. You will like it."
+
+The tree shakes its branches. The tree drops many leaves. The leaves fall on Tom and Sam. The leaves are not soft. The leaves are rough. The leaves make Tom and Sam itch more. They scratch and scratch. They do not like the leaves.
+
+The tree laughs. The tree says, "Ha-ha-ha, this is my game. It is called itch and scratch. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom and Sam do not like the game. They do not like the tree. They are not happy. They are angry. They say, "Stop it, tree. You are not funny. You are mean. Let us go."
+
+But the tree does not stop. The tree says, "No, no, no, this is too much fun. I want to play more. I have another game for you. It is called tickle and giggle. Do you want to try it?"
+
+The tree bends its branches. The tree touches Tom and Sam. The tree tickles Tom and Sam. Tom and Sam feel tickle. They laugh and laugh. They do not like the tickle.
+
+The tree laughs more. The tree says, "Ha-ha-ha, this is my other game. It is called tickle and giggle. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom and Sam do not like the other game. They do not like the tree. They are not happy. They are tired. They say, "Please, tree, please, stop it. You are not funny. You are silly. We want to go home."
+
+But the tree does not listen. The tree says, "No, no, no, this is the best fun. I want to play more. I have one more game for you. It is called hug and squeeze. Do you want to see it?"
+
+The tree wraps its branches. The tree hugs Tom and Sam. The tree squeezes Tom and Sam. Tom and Sam feel hug. They feel squeeze. They do not like the hug. They do not like the squeeze.
+
+The tree smiles. The tree says, "Ha-ha-ha, this is my last game. It is called hug and squeeze. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom and Sam do not like the last game. They do not like the tree. They are not happy. They are scared. They say, "Help, help, help. Tree, let us go. You are not funny. You are scary. We want to go home."
+
+But the tree does not care. The tree says, "No, no, no, this is the best game. I want to play more. I want to hug and squeeze you forever. You are my friends. You are my toys. You are mine."
+
+Tom and Sam cry. They cry and cry. They do not like the tree. They want to go home. They miss their mom and dad. They say, "Mom, dad, where are you? Help us, please. Save us, please. We want to go home."
+
+But no one hears them. No one sees them. No one knows where they are. They are stuck with the tree. The tree is mighty. The tree is mean. The tree is bad.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom with chores. One day, mom asked them to polish the silver spoons and forks for a special dinner. Tom and Lily took the cloth and the polish and went to the kitchen.
+
+They worked hard and made the spoons and forks shiny and bright. They were proud of their work and showed mom. Mom smiled and said, "Good job, my little helpers! You are very strong and smart!"
+
+But then, mom remembered that she had to go to the grocery to buy some food for the dinner. She said, "I need to go out for a while. Can you watch the spoons and forks and make sure they stay clean?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We can do it!"
+
+Mom kissed them and left. Tom and Lily stayed in the kitchen and played with the spoons and forks. They pretended they were swords and shields and fought each other. They had fun and laughed.
+
+But they did not see that the dog came in and jumped on the table. The dog saw the shiny spoons and forks and thought they were toys. He grabbed them with his mouth and ran away.
+
+Tom and Lily heard the noise and saw the dog. They shouted, "No, no, no! Bad dog! Give them back!"
+
+They chased the dog around the house, but the dog was fast and playful. He dropped some spoons and forks on the floor, but he kept some in his mouth. He ran to the garden and dug a hole. He buried the spoons and forks in the hole and wagged his tail.
+
+Tom and Lily reached the garden and saw the hole. They were sad and angry. They said, "Oh, no! What did you do, dog? You ruined our work! Mom will be mad at us!"
+
+They tried to dig out the spoons and forks, but they were dirty and bent. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+They did not know what to do. They hoped mom would not be too mad at them. They wished they had not played with the spoons and forks. They learned a lesson. They should have listened to mom and watched the spoons and forks. They should have been more careful and responsible.
+Tom is a big dog who likes to sleep and eat. He does not like to run or play or bathe. He thinks it is too much work. He has many fleas on his fur, but he does not care. He just scratches and bites them.
+
+One day, a new dog comes to his house. Her name is Lily and she is small and white. She likes to run and play and bathe. She thinks it is fun. She sees Tom and says, "Hello, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom looks at her and says, "No, I do not want to play. I am too tired. Go away."
+
+Lily feels sad and says, "But playing is good for you. It makes you happy and healthy. And you have many fleas on your fur. They make you itch and sick. You should bathe and get rid of them."
+
+Tom says, "No, I do not want to bathe. I do not like water. It is cold and wet. And I do not care about fleas. They are my friends. They keep me company. Now leave me alone."
+
+Lily shakes her head and says, "You are a lazy and silly dog. You do not know what is good for you. I will not bother you anymore. Goodbye."
+
+She runs away and finds another dog to play with. Tom goes back to sleep and snore. He does not see the big cat who is watching him from a tree. The cat is hungry and sees Tom as a tasty meal. He jumps on Tom and bites his neck. Tom wakes up and yelps, but it is too late. The cat drags him away and eats him. The fleas jump off Tom and look for a new host. They are sad and lonely. They wish Tom had listened to Lily and bathed. The end.
+Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and dolls and cars. But one day, they had a big quarrel. Tim wanted to build a tower with the blocks, and Lily wanted to make a house. They did not want to share or take turns. They shouted and pushed and grabbed the blocks from each other.
+
+Their mom saw them quarreling and was very sad. She said, "Tim and Lily, why are you fighting? You are friends, and friends should be kind and helpful. If you keep quarreling, you will lose your blocks and your fun. But if you stop quarreling and work together, you will get a reward."
+
+Tim and Lily did not want to lose their blocks and their fun. They also wanted to get a reward. They said sorry to each other and hugged. Then they decided to build a castle with the blocks, a big and impressive castle. They used their dolls and cars to decorate the castle and make stories. They had a lot of fun and were very happy.
+
+Their mom saw them playing and was very proud. She said, "Tim and Lily, you have done a great job. You have stopped quarreling and worked together. You have made a beautiful and impressive castle. You are good friends, and good friends deserve a reward." She gave them each a cookie and a hug. Tim and Lily smiled and thanked their mom. They shared their cookies and their hugs. They learned that quarreling is bad, but working together is good. They also learned that being kind and helpful brings rewards.
+Sam and Lily liked to play near the lake. They saw many things there: fish, ducks, frogs, and stones. Sometimes they threw stones into the water and watched the ripples. Sometimes they fed the ducks with bread. Sometimes they caught frogs and let them go.
+
+One day, Sam saw a big log on the shore. He had an idea. He urged Lily to help him push the log into the water. He wanted to make a boat. Lily was not sure. She thought it was difficult to move the log. She was afraid of falling into the water. But Sam said it would be fun. He said they could pretend to be pirates or explorers.
+
+They pushed and pulled the log with all their strength. It was heavy and hard. But they did not give up. They moved it a little bit at a time. At last, they reached the edge of the water. The log floated on the surface. Sam and Lily were happy. They climbed on the log and held on tight. They used sticks to paddle and steer. They shouted and laughed. They felt the wind and the waves. They had a great adventure on the lake.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have many toys and books. But they also like to look at the newspaper. The newspaper has many pictures and words. Sometimes they try to read the words.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily find a newspaper on the sofa. They want to look at it. But there is only one newspaper. They both want it. They start to pull and tug. They do not share. They do not say please. They are not nice.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to the living room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She takes the newspaper away. She says, "You cannot have the newspaper. You are not good. You have to learn to share and be polite. Go to your room and think about it."
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They do not want to go to their room. They want to look at the newspaper. They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They ask Mom if they can have the newspaper back.
+
+Mom thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, you can have the newspaper back. But you have to share it. And you have to seat on the floor. And you have to eat a sour lemon. That is your punishment."
+
+Tom and Lily do not like sour lemons. They make a face. They say, "Yuck!" But they want the newspaper. They agree to Mom's punishment. They seat on the floor. They eat a sour lemon. They look at the newspaper. They share it. They are good. Mom is happy.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, they saw a big package on the porch of Tim's house. They ran to see what was inside. They hoped it was a new toy for them to share.
+
+But when they opened the package, they saw only books and clothes. They were very sad and angry. They did not want books and clothes. They wanted cars and trucks. They started to quarrel over who would get the package. They said mean things to each other. They pulled and pushed and kicked.
+
+Then, Tim's mom came out and saw them fighting. She was very mad and disappointed. She scolded them and took away the package. She said they could not play together anymore. She sent Sam home and told Tim to go to his room. She said they were bad friends who did not know how to share.
+
+Tim and Sam cried and felt sorry. They wished they had not quarreled over the package. They wished they had been nice and happy. They wished they had cars and trucks to play with. But it was too late. They had lost the package and their friendship. They had a bad ending.
+Lily liked to watch her mom make pastry in the kitchen. She saw how mom rolled the dough and cut out shapes with a knife. She smelled the butter and the sugar and the fruit. She wanted to taste the pastry very much.
+
+But mom said no. She said the pastry was not ready yet. She said Lily had to wait until it was baked in the oven. She said Lily had to be patient and good. She said the pastry was a rare treat for a special day.
+
+Lily was not happy. She did not want to wait. She did not want to be patient and good. She wanted the pastry now. She thought mom was not fair. She decided to sneak a bite when mom was not looking.
+
+She waited until mom went to the other room. She climbed on a chair and reached for the tray of pastry. She grabbed a star-shaped one and put it in her mouth. She bit down hard.
+
+But the pastry was not soft and sweet. It was hard and bitter. It hurt her teeth and tongue. It tasted bad. Lily spat it out and cried. She had made a big mistake.
+
+Mom heard her cry and came back to the kitchen. She saw what Lily had done. She was not angry. She was sorry for Lily. She hugged her and kissed her. She explained that the pastry had to be baked to be yummy. She said Lily had to learn to trust her and follow the rules. She said she still loved her very much.
+
+Lily felt sorry too. She said she was sorry to mom and to the pastry. She said she would not do it again. She said she loved mom very much. She asked if she could still have some pastry later.
+
+Mom smiled and nodded. She said yes, of course. She said they would bake the pastry together and share it with dad and grandma. She said it would be a rare and special treat for a rare and special day. She said they would watch the pastry turn golden and smell the pastry fill the house. She said they would enjoy the pastry with love and gratitude.
+
+Lily smiled too. She said that sounded good. She said she was happy. She said she liked to watch mom make pastry in the kitchen.
+Lila and Tom like to play in the park. They see a pond with many ducks. They want to catch a duck and pet it. They run to the pond and try to grab a duck.
+
+But the ducks are fast and smart. They swim away from Lila and Tom. They quack and flap their wings. They do not want to be caught. Lila and Tom get wet and muddy. They are sad and angry.
+
+A man sees Lila and Tom. He is the duck keeper. He is harsh. He yells at Lila and Tom. He says they are bad and mean. He says they scare the ducks and hurt them. He says they have to leave the park.
+
+Lila and Tom cry. They say they are sorry. They say they only want to play with the ducks. They say they do not know the ducks are scared and hurt. They say they will not do it again.
+
+The duck keeper is still harsh. He does not listen to Lila and Tom. He tells them to go away. He says they are not welcome in the park. He says he will call their parents.
+
+Lila and Tom run away from the pond. They are scared and sad. They do not like the duck keeper. They do not like the park. They do not like the ducks. They want to go home.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes, and he liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. But he also wanted a new car, a big red one that he saw in the shop. He asked his mom to buy it for him, but she said no. She said it was too expensive and he had enough cars already. Tom was sad and angry. He wanted the big red car very much.
+
+One day, Tom and his mom went to the shop again. Tom saw the big red car on the shelf, and he felt a strong wish to have it. He thought his mom was not looking, so he took the car and hid it under his coat. He thought he was very clever and nobody would notice. He walked out of the shop with his mom, feeling happy and proud.
+
+But he was wrong. A man who worked in the shop saw him take the car. He followed him and his mom to the parking lot. He stopped them and said, "Excuse me, but did you pay for that car?" He pointed to the car under Tom's coat. Tom's mom was shocked and confused. She did not know what the man was talking about. She lifted Tom's coat and saw the car. She gasped and looked at Tom with a sad and angry face. She said, "Tom, what did you do? You know you can't take things that are not yours. That is against the law. That is very bad and wrong."
+
+Tom felt scared and ashamed. He knew he had done something bad and wrong. He wished he had not taken the car. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had not been so greedy and selfish. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, sir. I wanted the car so much. I thought you would not mind. Please don't be mad at me. Please don't punish me."
+
+The man who worked in the shop looked at Tom and his mom. He saw that Tom was sorry and his mom was upset. He said, "I understand that you wanted the car, but you can't just take it. You have to pay for it or ask for it. That is the law. That is how we respect other people and their things. Do you understand?" Tom nodded and said, "Yes, sir. I understand. I won't do it again. I promise." The man said, "Okay, then. I will let you go this time, but you have to return the car and say sorry to the shop owner. And you have to learn from your mistake and be a good boy. Can you do that?" Tom nodded and said, "Yes, sir. I can do that. Thank you, sir." He gave the car back to the man and said sorry to the shop owner. He felt very sorry and very relieved.
+
+Tom's mom hugged him and said, "I'm glad you said sorry and learned your lesson, Tom. But I'm also very disappointed and angry with you. You broke the law and you broke my trust. You made a very bad and wrong choice. You have to face the consequences of your actions. You have to understand that life is not always easy and you can't always get what you want. You have to be patient and grateful and honest. You have to be a good boy. Do you understand?" Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry, mom. I love you, mom." His mom said, "I love you too, Tom. But you are grounded for a week. No more toy cars for you. You have to play with something else. And you have to do some extra chores to help me. That is your punishment. Do you understand?" Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will do my punishment. I will be a good boy." He felt very sorry and very sad.
+
+Tom learned a very important lesson that day. He learned that taking things that are not yours is bad and wrong and against the law. He learned that it is better to ask for things than to steal them. He learned that his mom loves him but also expects him to be good and honest. He learned that life is sometimes difficult and unfair, but also sometimes kind and forgiving. He learned that he has to make good choices and face the consequences of his actions. He learned that he has to grow up and be a good boy.

+
+Ben heard the noise and ran to Lila. He saw Lila lying on the road, not moving. He cried and called her name. "Lila, Lila, wake up! Please, Lila, rise!" But Lila did not rise. She was gone.
+
+Ben was very sad. He hugged Lila and said, "I'm sorry, Lila. You were a good dog. You were my best friend. I will miss you." He wished he could teach Lila more tricks, and play with her more. He wished he could have saved her. He wished he could have said goodbye.

+
+The boy looked at her and smiled. He said, "Hello, I am Ben. I like to play with balls. I have never seen your pictures. Can I see them?"
+
+Anna opened her box and showed him her pictures. He liked them very much. He said, "Wow, you are very good. I like your colors. They are bright and pretty. Can you teach me how to paint?"

+
+But then, he smells something smelly. He stops and looks around. He sees a big brown pile on the grass. He says, "Ew, what is that?" He goes closer and sees it is poop. He says, "Yuck, poop!" He does not like poop. He thinks it is smelly and gross.
+
+He does not want his toy car to touch the poop. He picks it up and runs away. He says, "No, no, no, zoom, zoom!" He goes back to his house. He washes his toy car with water and soap. He says, "Bye, bye, poop, hello, clean car!"
+
+He is happy again. He plays with his toy car inside. He makes it zoom on the floor and on the sofa. He says, "Vroom, vroom, zoom, zoom!" He does not want to zoom it on the grass anymore. He says, "Grass is smelly, floor is nice!" He smiles and zooms his toy car.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe there are bugs or treasure or bones," Tom said.
+
+"Let's go look," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the hole and looked down. It was dark and deep. They could not see anything.
+
+"Hello, hello," Tom shouted. He heard his voice echo.
+
+"Be careful, Tom," Lily said. "It might be a trap."
+
+Tom laughed. "A trap for what? There is nothing here."
+
+He leaned over the hole and tried to see better. He lost his balance and fell in. He screamed.
+
+Lily was scared. She ran to get help. She saw a man with a hat and a shovel. He was digging another hole.
+
+"Help, help," Lily said. "My friend fell in a hole. He is trapped."
+
+The man looked surprised. He dropped his shovel and ran to the hole. He saw Tom at the bottom. He was crying and holding his leg. It was broken.
+
+"Oh no, oh no," the man said. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know anyone was here. I was digging holes for the rabbits. I wanted to catch them and sell them. But I didn't mean to hurt anyone."
+
+He took a rope from his bag and threw it to Tom. He told him to tie it around his waist. He pulled him up and out of the hole. He carried him to his car and drove him to the hospital.
+
+Lily followed them on her bike. She was worried about Tom. She hoped he would be okay.
+
+At the hospital, the doctor fixed Tom's leg. He put a cast on it and gave him some stickers. He said Tom would be fine, but he had to rest and not run or jump for a while.
+
+Tom smiled. He was happy to see Lily. She hugged him and gave him a candy. She said she was sorry he fell in the hole.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Tom said. "It was an accident. And you saved me. You are a good friend."

+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," Tom says. He runs to the hole and peeks in. He sees nothing but dirt and rocks.
+
+"Is there anything fun?" Jen asks. She follows Tom and leans over the hole.
+
+Suddenly, a loud bark scares them. It is a big dog. The dog is angry. He thinks Tom and Jen are trying to take his bone. He runs to the hole and jumps on them.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Jen scream. They fall into the hole. The dog tries to bite them, but he can't reach them. He barks and growls.
+
+A man hears the noise. He is the dog's owner. He comes to the park and sees the hole. He sees Tom and Jen inside. He sees the dog on the edge.
+

+
+When the cake was ready, grandma took it out and let it cool. She said, "Now we need to split the cake in half and fill it with cream." She gave Tom and Mia a knife and a bowl of cream.

+
+She had a strong urge to open the jar and smell the chili. She thought mom would not mind. She reached for the jar and twisted the lid. She put her nose close to the jar and sniffed.

+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Sara crying and the mess on the floor. She was not angry. She was worried. She hugged Sara and gave her some water and bread.

+
+Sara felt better. She said she was sorry and she loved mom too. She helped mom clean up the floor and the jar. They finished the soup and ate it together. It was not spicy. It was warm and good.

+
+"Good idea. Let's do it. But we have to be quick and quiet. Mom will come soon."
+
+They start to hide their toys and books under the bed and in the closet. They think they are very clever. They do not see the big spider that lives under the bed. The spider is angry. It does not like the toys and books that invade its home. It waits for the right moment to attack.

+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you. That is very nice of you." She put the band-aid on her knee. Anna said, "Do you want to play with us? We can go on the slide again. We will be careful." Lily nodded. She liked their kindness.

+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with some ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them some bread, but their mom said no. She said there was a crocodile in the pond who was very hungry and mean. She said the crocodile could not hear very well, so he would not know if they were near. She said they had to stay away from the pond and lock the gate behind them.
+
+Tim and Sam did not believe their mom. They thought she was just trying to scare them. They wanted to see the crocodile for themselves. They waited until their mom was busy talking to a friend, and then they sneaked to the pond. They opened the gate and walked to the edge of the water. They looked for the crocodile, but they could not see him. They thought he was hiding or sleeping.
+
+"Maybe he is not here," Tim said. "Maybe mom was lying."
+
+"Or maybe he is waiting for us," Sam said. "Maybe he is very smart and sneaky."
+
+They threw some bread into the pond and watched. Nothing happened. They threw some more bread and waited. Still nothing. They got bored and decided to leave. They turned around and walked back to the gate. But when they got there, they saw something that made them scream.
+
+The crocodile was there, blocking the gate. He had followed them from the pond, very quietly and slowly. He had a big mouth full of sharp teeth and a long tail that swung from side to side. He looked very hungry and mean.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tim and Sam shouted. "Mom! Mom!"
+
+But their mom could not hear them. She was too far away and the park was too noisy. And the crocodile could not hear them either. He was too deaf and he did not care. He only wanted to eat them.
+
+Tim and Sam were very scared and sorry. They wished they had listened to their mom and locked the gate behind them. They wished they had stayed away from the pond and the crocodile. They wished they had never come to the park. But it was too late. The crocodile was too fast and too strong. He opened his mouth and snapped.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they did not like the sun. It was very hot and bright. It made their skin red and sore.
+
+"Let's put on some cream," Lily said. "It will prevent the sun from hurting us."
+
+She took out a bottle of cream from her bag. She squeezed some on her hand and rubbed it on her face and arms. Then she gave the bottle to Ben.
+
+"Here, you do it too," she said.
+
+But Ben did not want to. He hated the cream. It was sticky and smelly. He shook his head.
+
+"No, thank you," he said. "I don't need it."
+
+"Yes, you do," Lily said. "The sun is bad for you. You have to put on the cream."
+
+She was very bossy. She grabbed Ben's arm and tried to put the cream on him. But Ben pulled away. He did not like Lily telling him what to do.
+
+"Stop it!" he shouted. "Leave me alone!"
+
+He ran away from Lily. He ran to the other side of the park. He found a big tree and hid behind it. He thought he was safe from the sun and from Lily.
+
+But he was wrong. The sun was still shining. It found a gap between the leaves and reached Ben's skin. It burned him more and more. Ben felt hot and itchy. He wished he had put on the cream.
+
+He also wished he had not been so rude to Lily. She was only trying to help him. She was his friend. He wanted to say sorry to her.
+
+But he could not. He could not find her. She had left the park. She was angry and sad. She did not want to play with Ben anymore.
+
+Ben was alone. He was hurt. He was sorry. He had no cream. He had no friend. He had a bad ending.

+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a dog. The dog was big and brown. The dog saw Anna and her painting. The dog ran to Anna and barked. Anna was scared. She dropped her painting and ran to the house.
+
+The dog picked up the painting with his mouth. He tore it and chewed it. He made a mess. He did not like the painting. He did not know it was Anna's.
+
+Anna cried. She was sad and angry. She worked hard on her painting. She wanted to show it to her mom. But now it was gone. She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said:
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. The dog was bad. He did not know how to be nice. He did not know how to share. He did not know how to respect your work. You did a good job on your painting. You are a good painter. You can paint another duck. And maybe you can teach the dog how to be a good friend."
+
+Anna felt better. She thanked her mom. She decided to paint another duck. And maybe she would try to be friends with the dog. She hoped the dog would learn how to be nice. She hoped he would like her paintings. She learned that painting was fun, but also that being kind and respectful was important.

+Tom smiled and said, "Yes, I can forgive you. You are not a bad bear. You are just hungry. Here, you can have some of my bread and cheese. Maybe we can be friends."
+
+The bear was happy and grateful. He ate the bread and cheese and thanked Tom. He said, "You are a good boy. You have a big heart. You deserve this crown more than anyone. You should keep it. Maybe one day, you will rise and be a great king."

+But some bees were not fair to Lily. They were lazy and greedy, and they took more honey than they made. They said mean things to Lily, like "You are too small and slow, you will never become a good honey-maker". They made Lily sad and angry.
+
+One day, Lily had an idea. She decided to make a special honey, just for herself. She flew to a secret garden, where she found the most beautiful and sweet flowers. She collected their nectar and mixed it with some magic dust that she found in a rainbow. She made a honey that was golden and shiny and smelled like a dream.
+
+She hid her honey in a little jar under her bed. She did not tell anyone about it. She waited for the right time to try it. She hoped it would make her happy and strong.
+
+The next day, Lily woke up early and opened her jar. She tasted her honey and felt a warm and wonderful feeling in her heart. She felt a tingling in her wings and her body. She looked at herself and saw that she had become bigger and faster and more beautiful. She had become the best honey-maker in the whole bee family.
+
+She flew out of the hive and showed everyone her honey and her new self. The other bees were amazed and jealous. They asked her how she did it. Lily smiled and said, "I did it with love and magic. And I did it for myself. Because I am fair and I deserve it."
+One day, Ben and his mom went to visit his aunt. His aunt lived in a big house with a lot of things. Ben liked to look at the things, but his mom told him not to touch them.
+
+"Why not?" Ben asked.
+
+"Because they are not yours, and they are very old and breakable," his mom said.
+
+Ben did not understand. He wanted to play with the things. He thought his mom was ignorant. He did not listen to her.
+
+When his mom and his aunt were talking in the kitchen, Ben entered the living room. He saw a shiny ball on a table. He reached for it and grabbed it. It was heavy and cold. He tried to bounce it, but it did not bounce. It fell on the floor and broke. It made a loud noise.
+
+His mom and his aunt heard the noise and ran to the living room. They saw the broken ball and the pieces on the floor. They were very angry and sad.
+
+"Ben, what did you do?" his mom yelled.
+
+"That was a very precious and rare thing. It belonged to your great-grandfather. It was worth a lot of money. How could you be so careless and ignorant?" his aunt cried.
+
+Ben felt scared and sorry. He did not know the ball was so important. He wanted to say sorry, but his mom and his aunt did not want to hear him. They told him to go to his room and stay there. They did not talk to him for the rest of the day.
+
+Ben cried in his room. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had not entered the living room. He wished he had not broken the ball. He wished he had not been ignorant. He had a very bad day.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with a hoop. They would roll it, throw it, and jump through it. They had a lot of fun with the hoop.
+
+One day, they saw a big hoop on a wall. It was very high and shiny. They wanted to play with it. They asked their mom if they could. She said no. She said it was not a toy. It was a hoop for a fire alarm. She said if they touched it, it would make a loud noise and call the firemen.
+
+But Tim and Sam did not listen. They waited until their mom was busy. Then they got a chair and climbed on it. They reached for the hoop. They wanted to pull it down and play with it.
+
+But when they touched the hoop, it made a very loud noise. It was so loud that it hurt their ears. It also made a red light flash. They got scared and jumped off the chair. They ran to their mom and cried.
+
+Their mom was angry and worried. She heard the loud noise and saw the red light. She knew they had touched the hoop. She said they were very naughty and dangerous. She said they could have started a fire or hurt someone. She said they had to support the firemen and not make them come for no reason. She said they had to say sorry and learn their lesson.
+
+The firemen came and saw the hoop. They were not happy. They said they had to leave a real fire to come to a false one. They said they wasted their time and gas. They said they could have saved someone or put out a fire. They said they did not like prank calls. They said they had to support the people who needed them and not play with their tools.
+
+Tim and Sam felt very bad. They said sorry to their mom and the firemen. They said they would never touch the hoop again. They said they would support the firemen and respect their work. They said they learned their lesson.
+
+But it was too late. The firemen said they had to pay a fine for the false alarm. They said it was a lot of money. They said they had to teach them a lesson. They said they had to take away their hoop and give it to a charity. They said they hoped they would find a better use for it.
+
+Tim and Sam cried and begged. They said they loved their hoop. They said it was their favorite toy. They said they would miss it. They said they were sorry.
+
+But the firemen did not listen. They took away their hoop and left. They said they had to go to the real fire. They said they hoped they would not see them again.
+
+Tim and Sam were very sad. They had no hoop to play with. They had no money to buy a new one. They had no friends to support them. They had a bad ending. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had not touched the hoop. They wished they had been good. They learned their lesson. But it was too late.
+Tom and Lily like to play at the park. They run, slide, swing and climb. They have fun with their friends. Sometimes they play tag or hide and seek. Sometimes they make sand castles or blow bubbles.
+
+One day, they see a new bench at the park. It is big and shiny and has a sign on it. The sign says: "This bench is for everyone. Please share and be kind." Tom and Lily think the bench is nice. They want to sit on it and rest.
+
+They run to the bench, but they see that it is full. There are four other kids on the bench. They are older and bigger than Tom and Lily. They do not look friendly. They do not want to share the bench. They say: "Go away, this is our bench. You are too small and silly to sit here."
+
+Tom and Lily feel sad and angry. They do not think that is fair. They do not think that is kind. They want to sit on the bench too. They do not want to go away. They want to stand up for themselves.
+
+They say: "No, this is not your bench. This is everyone's bench. The sign says so. You have to share and be kind. We are not too small or silly. We are smart and brave. We can sit here too."
+
+The other kids are surprised. They do not expect Tom and Lily to talk back. They do not know what to say. They look at each other. They look at the sign. They feel a little ashamed. They realize that Tom and Lily are right.
+
+They say: "Sorry, you are right. This is everyone's bench. We should share and be kind. You can sit here too. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Tom and Lily smile. They say: "Yes, we want to play with you. Thank you for sharing and being kind."
+
+They sit on the bench and make room for each other. They talk and laugh and make friends. They play together and have fun. They are happy and proud. They are good kids. They are good at sharing and being kind.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with trains. They had many trains and a big track. They could make the track go in circles, or straight, or twisty. They could make the trains go fast or slow, or stop and start.
+
+One day, they had a plan. They wanted to make the longest track ever. They used all their pieces and put them together. They made the track go around the room, under the table, over the chair, and out the door. They were very proud of their track.
+
+They got their favorite trains and put them on the track. They pushed a button and the trains started to move. They watched the trains go around the room, under the table, over the chair, and out the door. They smiled and clapped.
+
+But they did not see what was outside the door. There was a big dog. The dog saw the trains and wanted to play. He ran after the trains and barked. He caught one train in his mouth and shook it. He broke the train and the track.
+
+Lily and Ben heard the noise and ran to the door. They saw the dog and the broken track and the train. They were very sad and angry. They shouted at the dog and tried to get their train back. But the dog ran away with the train. He went to a distant place where Lily and Ben could not find him.
+
+Lily and Ben cried and hugged each other. They learned a lesson. They should not make their track go out the door. They should keep their track and their trains safe inside. They decided to make a new track and a new plan. They hoped the dog would not come back.
+Anna was a spoiled girl who had many toys and clothes. She did not like to share or say thank you. She always wanted more and more things.
+
+One day, she saw a pretty dress in a shop window. It was pink and had shiny beads on it. She asked her mom to buy it for her, but her mom said no. She said Anna had enough dresses and she should be happy with what she had.
+
+Anna was very angry and threw a tantrum. She cried and screamed and kicked. She said she hated her mom and ran away from her. She did not see where she was going and bumped into a poor boy. The boy was holding a ball of thread. He used the thread to make bracelets and sell them to get money for food.
+
+The thread fell from his hand and rolled into the street. A car ran over it and broke it. The boy was very sad and scared. He had no more thread and no more money. He looked at Anna and said, "Why did you do that? You are a bad girl. You have so much and you are not grateful. I have so little and I am thankful. I pray every day for God to help me and my family."
+
+Anna felt ashamed and sorry. She realized how selfish and mean she had been. She looked at the dress and saw how silly it was. She looked at the boy and saw how brave he was. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me. Here, take my money. Buy some more thread and some food. And here, take this bracelet. It was a gift from my grandma. She said it brings luck and love."
+
+The boy smiled and thanked her. He said, "You are a good girl. You have a kind heart. I forgive you. God bless you and your family."
+
+Anna hugged him and said, "Thank you. God bless you too. I hope you have a better life. I will pray for you."
+
+She ran back to her mom and apologized. She said she loved her and she was happy with what she had. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to be grateful and generous. She learned to pray and care for others. She learned that the best things in life are not things, but people.
+Anna liked to do yoga with her mom. She admired how her mom could bend and stretch and balance. She wanted to be like her mom when she grew up. Sometimes, she tried to copy her mom's poses, but they were hard.
+
+One day, Anna saw a book on the shelf. It had pictures of people doing yoga. She wanted to look at the book and learn more. She climbed on a chair and reached for the book. But the chair was wobbly and the book was heavy. Anna lost her balance and fell down. The book and the chair fell on top of her. She felt a lot of pain and cried.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and ran to help her. She saw Anna under the book and the chair. She was scared and angry. She lifted the book and the chair and hugged Anna. She asked her what she was doing. Anna said she wanted to do yoga like her mom. She said she was sorry.
+
+Her mom took her to the doctor. The doctor said Anna had a broken arm and a bruised head. He put a cast on her arm and a bandage on her head. He said she had to rest and take medicine. He said she could not do yoga for a long time.
+
+Anna was sad and confused. She did not understand why she got hurt. She did not understand why her mom was mad. She did not understand why she could not do yoga. She wished she had never seen the book. She wished she had never climbed on the chair. She wished she had never tried to do yoga. She wished she could go back to the way things were before.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to race each other on the grass. They run fast with their legs.
+
+One day, they see a big hill. They want to race to the top. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and start to run. Ben is faster than Sam. He is almost at the top. But then he trips on a rock. He falls down and hurts his leg. He cries.
+
+Sam sees Ben fall. He stops running. He runs back to Ben. He helps him get up. He says, "Are you okay, Ben?" Ben says, "My leg hurts. You win the race, Sam." Sam says, "No, Ben. I don't win. The race is not fair. You fall down. That is not fun. We are friends. We can race again another day."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You are fair." Sam smiles too. He says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are fast." They hug. They walk to the bench. They sit and rest. They share a snack. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to play together at the park. One day, they saw a big bus with many people. The bus had a sign that said "Zoo".
+
+"Look, Tom, a zoo bus!" Mia said. "Do you want to go to the zoo?"
+
+"Yes, I do!" Tom said. "But we need tickets. How can we get tickets?"
+
+Mia had an idea. She saw a lady with a big bag. The lady was talking on her phone. She did not see Tom and Mia.
+
+"Let's whisper, Tom," Mia said. "Maybe the lady has tickets in her bag. We can take them when she is not looking."
+
+Tom nodded. He and Mia walked quietly to the lady. They looked in her bag. They saw two tickets with pictures of animals.
+
+"Wow, zoo tickets!" Tom said. He reached for one. Mia reached for the other.
+
+But the lady heard them. She turned around and saw them. She was angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" she yelled. "Those are my tickets! Give them back!"
+
+Tom and Mia were scared. They dropped the tickets and ran away. They did not know that the lady was deaf. She could not hear well. She used her phone to read and write messages.
+
+Tom and Mia ran to the park. They were sad. They wanted to go to the zoo, but they did not have tickets.
+
+"Sorry, Mia," Tom said. "That was a bad idea. We should not take things that are not ours."
+
+"It's okay, Tom," Mia said. "We can still play here. Maybe we can see some birds or squirrels."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They learned a lesson. They decided to be good friends and not whisper bad things.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the sand. They liked to make castles and hills and tunnels. Sara had a big red bucket and Ben had a small blue shovel.
+
+"Look, Sara, I made a hole!" Ben said, digging with his shovel. "It is very deep and dark. Do you want to see?"
+
+Sara nodded and went to see Ben's hole. She leaned over and peered inside. She saw something shiny and round at the bottom. "What is that?" she asked, curious.
+
+Ben shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe a coin or a button. Do you want to get it?"
+
+Sara reached her hand into the hole. She felt the shiny thing and grabbed it. She pulled it out and looked at it. It was a ring. But it was not a pretty ring. It was ugly and old and rusty. It had a big crack and a dull stone.
+
+"Yuck!" Sara said, making a face. "This is not a coin or a button. This is a ring. But it is a very ugly ring. I don't like it."
+
+She threw the ring away. It landed on the dry grass. Sara and Ben did not care. They went back to playing in the sand. They forgot about the ugly ring. They had more fun making castles and hills and tunnels.
+Tim and Kim liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys. They had cars, dolls, balls and books. They liked to share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck stop near their house. The truck had many boxes on it. A man came out of the truck. He had a hat and a shirt with letters on it. He said he was here to supply some things to the shop.
+
+Tim and Kim were curious. They wanted to see what was in the boxes. They ran to the truck and asked the man if they could look. The man smiled and said yes. He opened one of the boxes and showed them.
+
+Inside the box, there were many shiny things. There were necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. They all had stars on them. They were star jewels. The man said they were for the shop to sell.
+
+Tim and Kim were amazed. They had never seen such pretty things. They asked the man if they could have some. The man said no. He said they were not for children. They were for grown-ups. He said they were very expensive and delicate.
+
+Tim and Kim were sad. They wanted to have some star jewels. They thought they would look nice on them. They thought they would make them feel like stars. They asked the man again. The man said no again. He said he had to go. He closed the box and put it back on the truck.
+
+Tim and Kim were angry. They did not like the man. They did not like his truck. They did not like his boxes. They wanted to have some star jewels. They had a wild idea. They decided to take some when the man was not looking.
+
+They waited for the man to go inside the shop. They sneaked to the truck. They climbed on it. They opened a box. They grabbed some star jewels. They put them in their pockets. They jumped off the truck. They ran to the garden. They thought they were clever.
+
+But they were not. The man saw them. He heard the box. He came out of the shop. He saw the star jewels in their pockets. He was angry. He shouted at them. He told them to give them back. He told them they were naughty. He told them they were in trouble.
+
+Tim and Kim were scared. They knew they did a bad thing. They felt sorry. They gave the star jewels back. They said they were sorry. They said they would not do it again.
+
+The man was still angry. He said he would tell their parents. He said they would be punished. He said they would learn their lesson.
+
+Tim and Kim were sad. They went to their house. They waited for their parents. They hoped they would not be too mad. They hoped they would still love them. They learned their lesson. They learned that stealing was wrong. They learned that star jewels were not for them. They learned that playing with their toys was better.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big red ball. They kick the ball and catch the ball. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a new swing in the park. It is blue and shiny. It looks fun. Lily and Ben want to try the swing.
+
+"Can I go first?" Lily asks.
+
+"OK, you can go first. But can I borrow the ball?" Ben says.
+
+"Sure, you can borrow the ball. But give it back when I am done," Lily says.
+
+Lily gives the ball to Ben. She runs to the swing. She sits on the seat. She holds the ropes. She swings high and low. She feels happy.
+
+Ben plays with the ball. He throws the ball and bounces the ball. He has fun.
+
+But then, he sees a dog. The dog is big and brown. It has a wet nose and a wagging tail. It looks friendly. Ben likes dogs.
+
+"Hi, dog. Do you want to play?" Ben says.
+
+The dog barks. It runs to Ben. It sniffs the ball. It likes the ball. It grabs the ball with its mouth. It runs away with the ball.
+
+"Hey, that's my ball! Come back, dog!" Ben shouts.
+
+He chases the dog. He tries to get the ball. But the dog is fast. It runs out of the park. Ben is sad.
+
+Lily sees Ben. She stops swinging. She jumps off the seat. She runs to Ben.
+
+"What's wrong, Ben?" Lily asks.
+
+"The dog took the ball. It ran away with the ball. I can't get the ball back. I'm sorry, Lily," Ben says.
+
+He looks at Lily. He thinks she will be mad. He thinks she will not be his friend.
+
+But Lily is not mad. She is not mean. She is sweet.
+
+"It's OK, Ben. It's not your fault. The dog was naughty. Maybe we can find the ball later. Or we can get a new ball. You are still my friend," Lily says.
+
+She hugs Ben. She makes him feel better.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Do you want to swing again?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, I do. But this time, you can go first. And I will push you," Lily says.
+
+They smile. They run to the swing. They take turns on the seat. They swing high and low. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball would go too far and they had to chase it.
+
+One time, the ball rolled to the street, where the automobiles were. Lily ran after the ball, but Ben stopped. He saw a big automobile coming fast. He was scared for Lily.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" he shouted. "Automobile, automobile!"
+
+Lily heard Ben and looked up. She saw the big automobile too. She was very close to it. She tried to stop, but she was clumsy. She tripped and fell on the ground.
+
+The automobile driver saw Lily and braked hard. He stopped the automobile just in time. He got out and ran to Lily. He was angry and worried.
+
+"Are you okay, little girl?" he asked. "You should not run to the street. It is dangerous. You could get hurt by an automobile."
+
+Lily was crying. She was scared and hurt. She had a scrape on her knee and a bump on her head. She said sorry to the automobile driver.
+
+Ben ran to Lily and hugged her. He was glad she was okay. He said sorry to the automobile driver too.
+
+"It's okay, kids," the automobile driver said. "But you have to be careful. Listen to your friend. He tried to warn you. He is a good friend."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They thanked the automobile driver. He gave them a band-aid and a candy. He told them to go back to the park and play safely.
+
+Lily and Ben went back to the park. They held hands and walked slowly. They did not play with the ball anymore. They played with the swings and the slide. They were happy to be together. They were good friends.
+Tim was a boy who liked to play with bones. He had many bones in his room, from animals and birds and fish. He liked to look at them and learn their names. His favorite bone was a big skull. It was from a cow that lived on a farm. Tim liked to pretend that the skull was his friend and talk to it.
+
+One day, Tim was playing with the skull on his bed. He put a hat on it and made it say funny things. He laughed and had fun. But then he saw something strange. The skull blinked at him. Tim was scared. He thought skulls could not blink. He blinked back at the skull, but it blinked again. It was a persistent blink. Tim did not like it.
+
+He jumped off the bed and ran to his mom. He told her that the skull blinked at him. His mom did not believe him. She said skulls could not blink. She said he was making it up. She said he should go back to his room and play nicely. Tim did not want to go back. He was afraid of the skull. He begged his mom to let him stay with her. But his mom said no. She said he had to face his fears.
+
+Tim went back to his room slowly. He opened the door and looked at the bed. The skull was still there, with the hat on. It looked at him and blinked. Tim felt a shiver. He did not know what to do. He wanted to run away, but he also wanted to be brave. He took a deep breath and walked to the bed. He reached out his hand and touched the skull. It was cold and hard. He lifted the hat and saw a small button. He pressed it and heard a beep. The skull blinked again and said, "Hello, I am a toy. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tim realized that the skull was not real. It was a toy that someone had put inside the cow skull. He felt silly and relieved. He smiled and said, "Hello, I am Tim. Yes, I want to play with you." He put the hat back on the skull and made it say funny things. He laughed and had fun. He was not scared anymore. He liked the skull. It was his friend.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toy soldiers. He had a big box of them, and he made them fight and march and sing. He had one soldier who was his favorite. He called him King, because he had a shiny crown and a sword. Tom always made King win the battles and lead the others.
+
+One day, Tom's sister Lily came into his room. She was angry because Tom had taken her doll. She saw the box of soldiers and grabbed it. She threw it on the floor and stomped on it. She broke many of the soldiers, and made a big mess. Tom was very sad and angry. He cried and shouted at Lily.
+
+Lily ran away, but she did not see King on the floor. She stepped on him and twisted her ankle. She fell down and hurt herself. She cried and shouted too. Tom saw what happened and ran to help her. He saw King on the floor, broken and bent. He felt sorry for him. He picked him up and hugged him.
+
+Tom's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily on the floor, and Tom holding King. She asked them what happened and they told her. She was not happy with Lily, but she was proud of Tom. She said Lily had to say sorry to Tom and help him fix his soldiers. She said Tom had to share his toys with Lily and be nice to her. She said they both had to be careful and not hurt each other or their toys.
+
+She took Lily to the couch and put some ice on her ankle. She gave Tom some glue and tape and helped him fix his soldiers. She said King was very brave and graceful, even though he had suffered a lot. She said he was a good leader and a good friend. She said Tom was a good brother and a good son. She hugged them both and gave them some cookies. They said sorry to each other and hugged too. They played together with the soldiers and the doll, and they were happy.
+Timmy loved grapes. He liked to eat them every day. He liked how they were sweet and juicy and round. He liked to make them pop in his mouth. He liked to share them with his friends.
+
+But one day, Timmy had no grapes. His mom said they ran out of grapes at the store. She said they would get more tomorrow. Timmy was sad. He wanted grapes now. He did not want to wait.
+
+He remembered that his neighbor, Lily, had grapes. He saw her eating them yesterday. He thought maybe she would give him some. He went to her house and knocked on the door. Lily opened the door and smiled.
+
+"Hi, Timmy. Do you want to play?" she asked.
+
+"Hi, Lily. Do you have grapes?" he asked.
+
+Lily nodded. She said she had some grapes in the kitchen. She said she would get them for him. She asked him to wait outside. Timmy was happy. He thought Lily was very nice.
+
+But when Lily came back, she had no grapes. She had a big frown. She said her brother ate all the grapes. She said he was very greedy. She said she was sorry. Timmy was mad. He wanted grapes. He did not want to play.
+
+He yelled at Lily. He said she was a liar. He said she was a bad friend. He said he did not like her. He ran away. Lily was sad. She cried. She did not understand why Timmy was so mean.
+
+Timmy ran back to his house. He felt bad. He knew he hurt Lily's feelings. He knew she was not a liar. He knew she was a good friend. He knew he liked her. He wished he had not yelled at her. He wished he had some grapes.
+
+He went to his room and lay on his bed. He closed his eyes and tried to forget. But he could not forget. He remembered the grapes. He remembered how they were sweet and juicy and round. He remembered how they made him happy. He remembered how he shared them with Lily. He remembered how she smiled. He remembered how she was incredible. He wished he could say sorry. He wished he could make her smile again. He wished he had some grapes.
+Anna and Ben are bored. They do not want to play with their toys or watch TV. They want to do something fun and new.
+
+"Let's go to the backyard," Anna suggests. "Maybe we can find some bugs or flowers or rocks."
+
+Ben nods. He likes the backyard. There are many things to see and touch and smell. He is enthusiastic. He grabs his hat and his magnifying glass.
+
+They run to the backyard. They look for bugs under the leaves and the rocks. They find a worm, a beetle, a spider and a snail. They put them in a jar and watch them move and crawl.
+
+They look for flowers in the grass and the pots. They find a daisy, a rose, a sunflower and a tulip. They smell them and touch them. They make a bouquet and give it to their mom.
+
+They look for rocks on the ground and the wall. They find a smooth one, a shiny one, a rough one and a colorful one. They feel them and compare them. They make a pile and count them.
+
+They have fun in the backyard. They learn new things and use their senses. They are happy and curious. They are not bored anymore.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to go on adventures. One night, they saw a bright light in the sky. It was a star that was falling very fast. They wanted to see where it landed, so they put on their coats and boots and sneaked out of the house.
+
+They followed the light until they came to a big valley. There, they saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was the star! It was round and smooth and warm. It glowed like a firefly. Tom and Lily were very happy. They wanted to touch it and play with it.
+
+But then, they heard a loud roar. It came from behind a hill. They saw a big, hairy animal. It had four legs, a long tail, and sharp teeth. It was a bear! The bear saw the star, too. It wanted to have it for itself. It ran towards Tom and Lily, growling and snarling.
+
+Tom and Lily were very scared. They did not want to be eaten by the bear. They ran away from the star and the valley, back to their house. They hoped the bear would not follow them.
+
+They reached their house and locked the door. They hugged each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe. They looked out of the window and saw the star still glowing in the valley. They wondered if the bear would take it or leave it alone.
+
+They decided to never go near the valley again. They learned that some things are better left alone. They also learned that some things are more important than stars. They had each other. And that was enough.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had many toys, like balls, bikes, and dolls. But they did not like to put their toys away when they were done. They left them on the grass, on the road, and on the porch.
+
+One day, their mom told them to hurry and tidy up their toys, because it was going to rain soon. Lily and Ben did not listen. They wanted to play more. They said they would do it later. Mom shook her head and went inside.
+
+Soon, the sky became dark and the wind blew hard. Lily and Ben heard thunder and saw lightning. They got scared and ran to the porch. But the porch was full of their toys. They could not find a place to sit or stand. They tripped and fell over their toys. They got wet and dirty.
+
+Mom came out and saw them. She was not happy. She said, "I told you to hurry and tidy up your toys. Now look what happened. Your toys are ruined and you are soaked. You should have listened to me and done what I asked. Next time, be more responsible and respectful."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. You were right. We were wrong. We will hurry and tidy up our toys now. And we will always do it from now on." Mom hugged them and said, "I forgive you. I love you. But you have to learn from your mistakes. Come on, let's go inside and get dry and warm." They went inside and helped Mom clean up. They learned their lesson and never left their toys outside again.
+Lily and Tom are going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They are very happy and excited. They pack their bags and toys and get in the car. Mom and Dad tell them they are going to fly in a big plane to see a new place.
+
+When they get to the airport, Mom and Dad show their passports to a nice lady. A passport is a small book with your name and picture in it. It tells the lady where you are from and where you are going. Lily and Tom think passports are very interesting. They want to see their own passports, but Mom and Dad say they are too little to have one.
+
+Lily and Tom follow Mom and Dad to a big room with many seats and a big window. They see the big plane outside. It has wings and a tail and a nose. It makes a loud noise when it moves. Lily and Tom are a little scared, but Mom and Dad say it is safe and fun. They find their seats and buckle their belts. Mom and Dad give them some snacks and books to keep them busy.
+
+The big plane starts to move faster and faster. Lily and Tom feel their tummies go up and down. They look out the window and see the ground get smaller and smaller. They see the clouds and the sky. They are flying! Lily and Tom clap their hands and laugh. They think flying is amazing.
+
+After a long time, the big plane starts to go down. Lily and Tom see a new place out the window. It has different buildings and trees and cars. Mom and Dad say they have arrived. They get off the plane and get their bags. They show their passports to another nice lady. She smiles and says welcome. Lily and Tom are curious and eager. They want to see and do everything in the new place. They mention all the things they want to try. Mom and Dad say they will have a lot of fun. They hug Lily and Tom and say they are proud of them. They are ready for their big trip.
+Anna loved to draw with her pencil. She had many colors of pencils, but her favorite was the blue one. She liked to draw the sky, the sea, and the birds with her blue pencil.
+
+One day, she found a big book in her grandpa's room. The book had many pictures of old things, like castles, dragons, and kings. Grandpa said the book was ancient, and it was very special. He let Anna look at the book, but he told her to be careful and not to draw on it.
+
+Anna was very curious about the ancient book. She wanted to see more pictures of old things. She opened the book and turned the pages slowly. She saw a picture of a knight with a sword and a shield. She thought he looked brave and strong. She wanted to draw him with her blue pencil.
+
+She took her blue pencil and started to draw on the book. She drew a big helmet, a shiny armor, and a long sword. She was very happy with her drawing. She did not hear grandpa coming into the room.
+
+Grandpa saw what Anna had done and he was very angry. He shouted at Anna and took the book and the pencil from her. He said she had ruined the ancient book and she was very naughty. He told her to go to her room and not to come out until he said so.
+
+Anna was very sad and scared. She ran to her room and closed the door. She cried and cried. She wished she had not drawn on the ancient book. She wished grandpa was not angry with her. She wished she had her blue pencil.
+Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play on the island. The island was in the big lake near their home. They had a boat to go to the island. The boat was old and had holes.
+
+One day, they wanted to go to the island. But the boat was broken. It could not float. Anna and Ben were sad. They wanted to fix the boat. But they did not know how.
+
+They asked their dad for help. He was good at fixing things. He looked at the boat and said, "This boat needs to improve. It needs new wood and paint. I can help you make it better."
+
+Anna and Ben were happy. They helped their dad get new wood and paint. They worked hard to improve the boat. They hammered and sawed and painted. They made the boat strong and pretty.
+
+The next day, they tried the boat. It floated. It did not leak. It was fast. Anna and Ben were proud. They thanked their dad. They went to the island. They had fun. They were not scared. They improved the boat.
+Lily and Ben like to play with toys. They have many toys at home, but they want more. One day, they see a big store with many toys in the window. They ask Mom to take them there.
+
+Mom says no. She says they have enough toys and they need to save money. Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They cry and scream. Mom is tired and weak. She has a headache.
+
+Lily and Ben do not listen to Mom. They run away from her and go to the store. They open the door and go inside. They see many toys. They want them all. They grab them and put them in a big bag.
+
+But the store man sees them. He is not happy. He shouts at them and runs after them. Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the bag and run out of the store. They try to find Mom.
+
+But Mom is not there. She went to look for them. She is worried and sad. She does not know where they are.
+
+Lily and Ben are lost. They do not know where to go. They are cold and hungry. They are sorry. They wish they listened to Mom.
+
+They see a big sign. It says "shut". It is the store. It is closed. They cannot go back. They cry and hug each other. They hope Mom will find them. They hope she will forgive them. They hope they will have toys again.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing and climb. One day, they saw a big truck near the park. The truck was making a lot of noise and dust.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go see," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the truck, but they stopped when they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and growling. It had sharp teeth and a long tail.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted.
+
+The dog did not go away. It came closer and closer. Ben and Lily were scared. They wanted to run away, but they were too close to the dog.
+
+"Help, help!" they cried.
+
+Then, they heard a whistle. It was the truck driver. He came out of the truck and saw the dog. He waved his hand and called the dog.
+
+"Rex, come here! Good boy, good boy!"
+
+The dog stopped barking and growling. It ran to the truck driver and licked his face. The truck driver smiled and petted the dog.
+
+"Sorry, kids. He's not a bad dog. He's just a guard dog. He protects the truck. He thought you were strangers. Don't worry, he won't hurt you."
+
+Ben and Lily felt relieved. They thanked the truck driver and said sorry to the dog. The dog wagged his tail and sniffed them. He was not so scary after all.
+
+The truck driver gave them some cookies and told them what he was doing. He was fixing the road. He showed them his tools and his truck. Ben and Lily liked the truck. It was big and shiny. They asked him many questions and he answered them.
+
+They had fun with the truck driver and the dog. They learned a lot of new things. They were brave and curious. They made new friends. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. They ran after it and laughed.
+
+One day, a big dog came to the park. It saw the ball and wanted to play too. It ran to the ball and picked it up with its mouth. It was a smelly dog. It had dirt and mud on its fur. It drooled on the ball and made it wet.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared of the dog. They wanted their ball back. They shouted at the dog to drop the ball. But the dog did not listen. It growled at them and showed its teeth. It was a threat. It wanted to keep the ball.
+
+Ben and Lily did not know what to do. They did not want to go near the dog. They looked around for help. They saw a man walking by. He had a leash in his hand. He was the dog's owner.
+
+The man saw the dog and the children. He called the dog's name. The dog heard the man and ran to him. It dropped the ball on the ground. The man apologized to Ben and Lily. He said he was sorry for the trouble. He put the leash on the dog and walked away.
+
+Ben and Lily were happy. They got their ball back. They wiped off the dirt and the drool. They threw the ball to each other and caught it. They forgot about the dog and had fun.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the garage. They found many things there: a ball, a bike, a box, a hat. One day, they saw something different. It was a big red button on a small black box.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's push it!" Lily said.
+
+They pushed the button. Nothing happened. They pushed it again. Still nothing.
+
+"Maybe it's broken," Tom said.
+
+"Or maybe it does something we can't see," Lily said.
+
+They pushed the button one more time. Then they heard a beep. And then they felt funny. They looked at each other. They looked at the garage. Everything was bigger. Much bigger.
+
+"Tom, Lily, what are you doing in the garage?" Mom called.
+
+They tried to answer, but their voices were too small. Mom could not hear them.
+
+"Tom, Lily, where are you?" Mom asked.
+
+They ran to the door, but it was too high. They jumped, but they could not reach it. They looked for a way out, but they could not find one.
+
+They were trapped in the garage. They had shrunk.
+Ben loves to chew pastry. He likes the soft and sweet part inside and the crunchy part outside. He likes to make noises when he chews, like nom nom nom. He thinks it is funny.
+
+One day, Ben sees a big pastry on the table. It is blue and has white dots on it. Ben thinks it is a pastry for him. He climbs on a chair and grabs the pastry. He takes a big bite and chews.
+
+But the pastry is not soft and sweet. It is hard and sour. Ben makes a face and spits out the pastry. He feels something sting his tongue. He looks at the pastry and sees it is not a pastry. It is a soap!
+
+Ben's mom sees him and runs to him. She takes the soap from his hand and wipes his mouth. She says, "Ben, that is not a pastry. That is a soap. Soap is for washing, not for eating. It can make you sick. You have to be careful what you chew."
+
+Ben feels sorry and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I thought it was a pastry. It was blue and had white dots. It looked like a pastry."
+
+Mom hugs him and says, "It's okay, Ben. I know you like pastry. But you have to ask me before you take something from the table. Some things are not food. They can hurt you. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "I understand, mom. I will ask you next time. Can I have a real pastry now?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can have a real pastry. But only one. And you have to brush your teeth after. Deal?"
+
+Ben says, "Deal!" and hugs mom. He is happy to have a real pastry. He chews it slowly and enjoys it. He does not want any more soap.
+Tom was a spoiled kid. He had many toys, but he always wanted more. He did not like to share or say thank you. He threw tantrums when he did not get his way.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom. He saw a girl playing with a ball. He wanted the ball, so he ran to the girl and snatched it from her hands. The girl started to cry.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" the girl's mom said. "That's not yours, that's hers. You are being very rude and mean."
+
+Tom did not care. He hugged the ball and said, "No, it's mine now. I like it. Go away."
+
+The girl's mom was angry. She said, "You are a spoiled kid. You don't know how to be nice or have fun. You only think about yourself. Do you know what you need? You need to imagine."
+
+"Imagine? What's that?" Tom asked.
+
+"Imagine is when you use your mind to make up stories and pictures. You can imagine anything you want. You can imagine you are a superhero, or a pirate, or a dinosaur. You can imagine you have friends and adventures. You can imagine you are happy and kind. Imagine is a wonderful thing. It makes you smart and creative and good."
+
+Tom was curious. He had never imagined before. He wondered what it was like. He said, "Can I try to imagine?"
+
+The girl's mom smiled. She said, "Of course you can. But first, you have to give the ball back to the girl and say you are sorry. That's the right thing to do."
+
+Tom felt a little ashamed. He realized he had been selfish and hurtful. He gave the ball back to the girl and said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Can we be friends?"
+
+The girl nodded. She said, "It's okay. I forgive you. Yes, we can be friends. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Yes, I do. Can we imagine together?"
+
+The girl said, "Sure. What do you want to imagine?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He said, "I want to imagine we are astronauts, and we are going to the moon."
+
+The girl said, "That sounds fun. Let's go."
+
+They held hands and ran to the slide. They pretended it was a rocket. They counted down and blasted off. They had a great time imagining. They laughed and played and learned.
+
+Tom's mom watched them. She was happy. She saw that Tom was changing. He was not a spoiled kid anymore. He was a good kid. He was an imaginative kid. And he was a happy kid.
+Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a basket for her books. She liked to make everything neat and tidy.
+
+One day, Sara found a sunflower seed in her pocket. She did not know where it came from, but she thought it was pretty. She decided to plant it in a pot and put it on the windowsill. She watered it every day and waited for it to grow.
+
+After many days, the seed sprouted a green stem and a yellow flower. Sara was very glad. She loved her sunflower. She gave it a name: Sunny. She talked to it and sang to it. She moved it around the house to follow the sun.
+
+Sara's mom and dad were proud of her. They said she had a green thumb. They gave her more seeds to plant. Sara organized them in a jar and labeled them with pictures. She wanted to grow more flowers and make a garden. She was happy and so was Sunny.
+Ben and Lily were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their clothes and toys in their luggage. Ben had a red luggage and Lily had a pink luggage. They also had a special luggage for Mom and Dad. It was brown and shiny. Mom said it was rare and old. She said it belonged to her grandpa. She said they had to be very careful with it and polish it every day.
+
+Ben and Lily wanted to help Mom polish the rare luggage. They took a cloth and some spray. They sprayed the luggage and rubbed it with the cloth. They made it even more shiny. They were proud of their work. But then they saw something bad. They had sprayed too much. The spray had made a big stain on the luggage. It was white and sticky. It did not look good. Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know what to do. They tried to wipe it off, but it did not work. They heard Mom and Dad coming. They hid behind the sofa.
+
+Mom and Dad came into the room. They saw the rare luggage. They saw the stain. They were angry and sad. They asked Ben and Lily what happened. Ben and Lily came out from behind the sofa. They said they were sorry. They said they wanted to help. They said they did not mean to ruin the rare luggage. Mom and Dad sighed. They said they understood. They said they loved Ben and Lily. They said they would try to fix the stain. They said they would still go on the trip. They said they would still have fun. They hugged Ben and Lily. Ben and Lily felt better. They learned a lesson. They learned to be more careful with rare things. They learned to ask before they polish.
+Sara liked to play with her flower toys. She had many flower toys of different colors and shapes. She was very organized. She put each flower toy in a basket that matched its color. She had a red basket, a yellow basket, a blue basket and a green basket.
+
+One day, she saw a new flower toy on the table. It was purple and had six petals. She liked it very much. She wanted to play with it. But she did not know where to put it. She did not have a purple basket. She looked at her other baskets. She thought hard.
+
+"Where do you belong?" she asked the flower toy.
+
+The flower toy did not answer. It was just a toy. But Sara pretended that it could talk.
+
+"I belong with you," the flower toy said in her imagination. "You are my friend. You can play with me."
+
+Sara smiled. She liked the flower toy's answer. She decided to make a new basket for it. She found some purple paper and some tape. She cut the paper and taped it together. She made a purple basket. She put the flower toy in the basket. She was happy.
+
+She showed her mom her new basket and her new flower toy.
+
+"Look, mom, I made a new basket for my new flower toy. It belongs with me. We are friends."
+
+Mom hugged Sara and praised her.
+
+"You are very creative and organized, Sara. I'm proud of you. And I'm sure your new flower toy is happy to belong with you."
+Sam liked to create things with his blocks. He made towers, bridges, cars and animals. He had a lot of fun with his blocks, but he also wanted to try something new. He asked his mom if he could create something with the big green melon in the kitchen. His mom said yes, but he had to be careful with the knife.
+
+Sam was very excited. He took the melon and the knife to the table. He cut the melon in half and scooped out the seeds. He ate some of the juicy fruit and saved the rest for later. He looked at the empty melon halves and thought of what he could create. He had an idea. He cut out two eyes, a nose and a mouth on one half. He cut out two ears and some hair on the other half. He put the two halves together and made a melon head. He was very proud of his creation.
+
+He showed his mom his melon head and she smiled. She said it was very creative and funny. She asked him what he was going to do with it. Sam said he wanted to show it to his friend Max, who lived next door. He asked his mom if he could go outside and play with Max. His mom said yes, but he had to be back before dinner. Sam said okay and ran outside with his melon head.
+
+He knocked on Max's door and waited. He heard Max's voice inside. He said he was ready to play. Sam was happy. He wanted to surprise Max with his melon head. He hid it behind his back and waited for Max to open the door. He heard the door open and saw Max's face. He said hello and quickly moved his melon head in front of him. He said, "Look what I created!"
+
+But Max did not look happy. He looked scared. He screamed and ran back inside. He slammed the door and locked it. Sam was confused. He did not understand why Max was scared of his melon head. He thought it was funny and creative. He looked at his melon head and wondered what was wrong. He did not notice the big black spider that had crawled out of the melon and was sitting on top of the melon head's nose. He did not notice the spider's fangs and legs. He did not notice the spider's eyes staring at him. He did not notice the spider was ready to jump.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the big room. They like to build with blocks and draw with crayons. They are happy and have fun.
+
+But then they hear a loud noise. It is the fire alarm. It makes a beep beep sound and a red light. Sara and Ben are scared. They want to go out of the big room.
+
+They look for the exit. It is a door with a green sign. They run to the door. But the door is locked. They cannot open it. They try to push and pull. But it does not work.
+
+They start to cry. They want their mom and dad. They want to be safe.
+
+Then they see Mr. Lee. He is the teacher. He is dependable. He always helps them and teaches them. He has a key. He puts the key in the door. He turns the key. He unlocks the door.
+
+He says, "Don't worry, Sara and Ben. I am here. We can go out now. Follow me."
+
+He holds their hands. He leads them to the exit. He opens the door. They see the fire truck and the firefighters. They see their mom and dad. They are happy and relieved.
+
+They hug Mr. Lee. They say, "Thank you, Mr. Lee. You are dependable. You saved us."
+
+Mr. Lee smiles. He says, "You are welcome, Sara and Ben. You are brave and smart. I am proud of you."
+Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big melon on a table. It looked juicy and sweet. They wanted to eat some.
+
+"Who does this melon belong to?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe no one. Maybe it is available for us," Lily said.
+
+They looked around and did not see anyone near the table. They decided to take the melon and run away. They thought they were clever and lucky.
+
+But they were wrong. The melon belonged to a nice lady who was selling fruits. She had gone to get some water and left the melon on the table. She was very sad when she came back and saw that her melon was gone. She had worked hard to grow the melon and she needed the money to buy food for her family.
+
+Ben and Lily did not know this. They were eating the melon in a corner of the park. They felt happy and full. But then they saw the nice lady walking around the park, looking for her melon. She looked sad and worried.
+
+Ben and Lily felt bad. They realized they had done something wrong. They had taken something that was not theirs. They had hurt someone who was kind and generous. They decided to say sorry and give back the melon.
+
+They ran to the nice lady and told her what they had done. They apologized and offered her the rest of the melon. They hoped she would forgive them.
+
+The nice lady was surprised and touched. She saw that Ben and Lily were sincere and sorry. She forgave them and thanked them for being honest. She also gave them a slice of the melon to share. She said that the melon was more delicious when shared with friends.
+
+Ben and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned that it is wrong to take what is not yours. They learned that it is better to ask than to assume. They learned that it is important to be sorry and to make up for your mistakes. They learned that it is good to be kind and to share. They learned that the melon was not available for them, but the nice lady was available to be their friend. They were happy to meet her and to have a new friend.
+Tom and Jen were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves and decided to make a shelter with them. They worked hard to gather the leaves and pile them up. They made a door and a window and crawled inside. They felt cozy and happy in their shelter.
+
+But then, a boy named Sam came along. He was rich and had many toys, but he was not nice. He saw Tom and Jen's shelter and wanted to ruin it. He kicked the leaves and laughed. He said, "This is not a shelter, this is trash. You are poor and silly. I have a better shelter at home. It is big and warm and has a TV."
+
+Tom and Jen were sad and angry. They came out of their shelter and told Sam to stop. They said, "This is our shelter, and we like it. You are mean and rude. You have many things, but you are not happy. You should share and be kind."
+
+Sam did not listen. He kept kicking the leaves and mocking them. He said, "You are just jealous of me. I don't need to share or be kind. I have everything I want."
+
+But then, a big wind came and blew away all the leaves. Tom and Jen's shelter was gone. They felt cold and sad. But Sam's toys were also gone. The wind had carried them away. He felt scared and sad. He had nothing left.
+
+Tom and Jen saw Sam crying. They felt sorry for him. They said, "We are sorry you lost your toys. We know how it feels. We can help you find them. And we can be your friends. Maybe we can make a new shelter together."
+
+Sam looked at them. He felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "Thank you. You are very nice. I was wrong to be mean and rude. I don't need to have everything. I need to have friends. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Tom and Jen smiled and nodded. They said, "Yes, we can forgive you. And we can be friends. Come on, let's go look for your toys. And then, let's go to our home. We have some cookies and milk. We can stir them and share them."
+
+Sam smiled and nodded. He said, "That sounds good. Thank you. You are very rich. You have a home and cookies and milk. And you have each other."
+
+They hugged and went to look for the toys. They learned that being rich is not about having things, but about having friends. And that being kind is better than being rude. And that sharing is more fun than keeping. And that stirring cookies and milk is yummy.
+Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to sleep. Every night, their mom tells them to go to bed, but they are stubborn. They say, "No, mom, we want to play more!"
+
+One night, they find a big machine in the garage. It has buttons and lights and sounds. They think it is a toy. They sneak out of their room and go to the garage. They push the buttons and turn the knobs. The machine makes loud noises and flashes.
+
+Mom hears the noise and runs to the garage. She sees Tom and Sue playing with the machine. She is scared and angry. She shouts, "Stop! That is not a toy! That is a dangerous machine! It can hurt you!"
+
+But Tom and Sue do not listen. They are stubborn. They say, "No, mom, we want to play more!" They push more buttons and turn more knobs. The machine makes louder noises and flashes faster.
+
+Suddenly, the machine sparks and explodes. It makes a big boom. It throws Tom and Sue across the garage. They hit the wall and fall to the floor. They do not move. They do not play. They do not wake up. They sleep forever. Mom cries and cries. She wishes they had listened to her. She wishes they had gone to bed.
+One day, a hunter went to the forest to look for animals. He had a big gun and a big knife. He wanted to catch a deer or a bear. He walked and walked, but he did not see any animals. He was angry and hungry.
+
+He saw a big tree with a hole. He thought maybe there was a squirrel or a rabbit inside. He put his hand in the hole and felt something soft and warm. He smiled and pulled hard. But it was not a squirrel or a rabbit. It was a skunk!
+
+The skunk was scared and angry. It did not like the hunter. It sprayed a bad smell on the hunter's face. The hunter screamed and let go of the skunk. He rubbed his eyes and nose. He could not see or smell anything. He felt weak and sick.
+
+The skunk ran away and hid. It was safe and happy. It did not like the hunter. It snapped its teeth and wagged its tail. It hoped the hunter would go away and never come back. It did not want to see him again.
+Ben and Lily were playing with clay. They liked to make different shapes and animals with the clay. Ben made a long snake by rolling a piece of clay on the table. Lily made a round ball by rolling a piece of clay in her hands. They showed each other their clay creations.
+
+"Look at my snake!" Ben said. "It is very long and thin."
+
+"Look at my ball!" Lily said. "It is very round and smooth."
+
+They were both happy with their clay creations. But then they looked at each other's clay creations. They started to feel envious.
+
+"I want a ball too!" Ben said. He tried to roll his snake into a ball, but it did not work. It became a lumpy mess.
+
+"I want a snake too!" Lily said. She tried to stretch her ball into a snake, but it did not work. It became a flat pancake.
+
+They were both unhappy with their clay creations. They started to cry.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what is wrong?" their mom asked. She came to see what they were doing.
+
+"They have a better clay creation than me!" Ben and Lily both said.
+
+Their mom smiled. She hugged them and said, "You don't have to be envious of each other. You can share your clay creations. You can make a ball and a snake together. Or you can make something else. There are many things you can make with clay. The most important thing is to have fun and be kind."
+
+Ben and Lily stopped crying. They nodded and said, "Okay, mom." They decided to share their clay creations. They rolled a piece of clay into a ball and another piece into a snake. They put them together and made a snail. They were both happy with their clay creation. They thanked their mom and continued to play with clay.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They live in a big city with many cars and people. They like to play in the park near their home. One day, they see a big truck with many boxes. The truck stops at the park and the driver gets out.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you want to see what I have in my truck?" the driver says. He opens one of the boxes and shows them a big teddy bear. "This is for a toy store. I have many more toys in my truck. Do you want to hold one?"
+
+Lily and Tom are very happy. They love toys. They run to the truck and look at the boxes. They see dolls, cars, balls, and books. They want to hold them all.
+
+"Can I hold this doll?" Lily asks.
+
+"Can I hold this car?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, sure. But be careful. Don't break them. And don't take them away. They are not yours." the driver says.
+
+Lily and Tom hold the toys and play with them. They forget about the driver and the park. They have so much fun.
+
+But then, they smell something bad. Very bad. They look around and see a big pile of garbage. The garbage is smelly and dirty. It makes them feel sick.
+
+"Yuck! What is that?" Lily says.
+
+"I don't know. But it stinks!" Tom says.
+
+They drop the toys and run away from the garbage. They want to go back to their home. But they don't know where they are. They are lost in the big city.
+
+They start to cry. They are scared and sad. They want their mom and dad.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shout.
+
+The driver hears them and comes to them. He sees them crying and holding each other.
+
+"What's wrong, kids? Why are you crying?" he asks.
+
+"We don't like the garbage. It's smelly. And we don't know where our home is. We are lost." Lily says.
+
+"Don't worry, kids. I'll help you. Where do you live?" he asks.
+
+"We live near the park. The park with the swings and the slide." Tom says.
+
+"OK, I know that park. Come with me. I'll take you there. But first, let's put the toys back in the truck. They belong to the toy store, remember?" he says.
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They follow the driver and put the toys back in the truck. They say sorry to the driver for playing with them.
+
+"That's OK, kids. You were just curious. But next time, ask before you touch. And stay away from the garbage. It's not good for you." he says.
+
+He drives them to the park and helps them find their home. He waves goodbye to them and leaves.
+
+Lily and Tom hug their mom and dad and tell them what happened. They are happy to be home. They are happy to be safe. They are happy to have each other. They hold each other and smile.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. They wanted to try it.
+
+"Let's go on the slide," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be back by noon," Sam said. "Mom said so."
+
+"I promise," Tom said. "It will be fun."
+
+They ran to the slide. It was very high and long. Tom went first. He slid down fast and laughed. He felt happy.
+
+"Your turn, Sam," Tom said.
+
+Sam climbed up the ladder. He was scared. He looked down. The slide was too high for him.
+
+"I don't want to go," Sam said.
+
+"You have to," Tom said. "You can't be a baby. It's normal to go on the slide."
+
+Sam felt sad. He wanted to go back to his mom. But he did not want to make Tom angry. He closed his eyes and slid down.
+
+But he slid too fast. He could not stop. He hit the ground hard. He hurt his head. He cried.
+
+Tom ran to him. He saw blood. He was scared too.
+
+"Sam, are you OK?" Tom said.
+
+But Sam did not answer. He was very hurt. He needed help.
+
+Tom looked at his watch. It was past noon. He broke his promise. He felt bad.
+
+He wished he never went on the slide. He wished he listened to Sam. He wished he was a good friend.
+Lily was bored. She had played with all her toys, read all her books, and watched all her shows. She wanted to do something new and fun, but she did not know what. She sighed and looked around her room. Everything was ordinary and dull.
+
+She decided to go to the kitchen and see if there was anything to eat. Maybe she could find a yummy snack or a sweet treat. She opened the refrigerator and peeked inside. She saw milk, cheese, eggs, and carrots. She did not want any of those. She sighed and closed the refrigerator.
+
+She heard a noise from the living room. She ran to see what it was. She saw her mom and dad sitting on the couch. They were laughing and smiling. They were watching a funny show on the TV. Lily wanted to join them and have some fun. She climbed on the couch and snuggled between them. They hugged her and kissed her. They asked her if she wanted to watch the show with them. She nodded and smiled. She forgot about her boredom. She was happy and cozy. She sighed and closed her eyes.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they saw a big store with many toys in the window. They asked their mom if they could go inside and look.
+
+Mom said yes, but they had to hold her hand and stay close. Lily and Ben nodded and followed mom into the store. They saw dolls, cars, trains, books, and puzzles. They wanted to touch everything, but mom said they could only pick one toy each.
+
+Lily saw a pink bear with a bow on its head. She thought it was very pretty and soft. She picked it up and hugged it. Ben saw a green dinosaur with spikes on its back. He thought it was very cool and scary. He picked it up and roared.
+
+Mom smiled and said they could buy the toys. She took them to the counter and paid the man. The man said they were lucky, because the bear and the dinosaur were rare toys. He said they were the last ones in the store.
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They thanked the man and mom. They walked out of the store, holding their toys. Lily put the bear on her shoulder and Ben put the dinosaur on his shoulder. They looked at each other and laughed. They had the best toys ever.
+Lily and Sam were very happy. They were going to fly in a big plane. They had never flown before. They wanted to see the clouds and the birds.
+
+They followed Mom and Dad to the gate. They showed their tickets to a nice lady. She smiled and said, "Have a nice trip!" She gave them stickers with planes on them. Lily and Sam put them on their shirts.
+
+They walked to the plane. It was very big and shiny. They climbed up the stairs. They found their seats. They buckled their belts. They looked out the window. They saw other planes and trucks and people.
+
+A man with a hat spoke on a loudspeaker. He said, "Welcome to flight 123. We are ready to take off. Please stay in your seats and enjoy the ride." He sounded friendly.
+
+The plane started to move. It went faster and faster. Lily and Sam felt excited. They held hands. The plane lifted off the ground. It soared into the sky. They saw the clouds and the birds. They were flying!
+
+Lily and Sam clapped and cheered. They said, "This is perfect! We love flying!" Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They were happy too. They were going to have a fun vacation.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the sand. They had a spade and a bucket. They wanted to make a big castle. Lily dug with the spade and Tom filled the bucket. They poured the sand on a pile and patted it.
+
+But then a big dog came. The dog ran to the sand pile and jumped on it. The sand flew everywhere. The castle was gone. Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They shouted at the dog. The dog barked and wagged its tail.
+
+The dog's owner came. He was a nice man. He said sorry to Lily and Tom. He said the dog liked to play and did not know he was bad. He asked them a question. He said, "Do you want to help me find some shells? They are shiny and pretty. You can use them to decorate your castle."
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They liked shells. They nodded and smiled. They followed the man and the dog to the water. They saw many shells. They picked the ones they liked. They put them in the bucket. They thanked the man and the dog.
+
+They went back to the sand. They dug and filled and poured and patted. They made a new castle. It was bigger and better. They used the shells to make windows and doors and flags. They were very proud of their castle. They said it was the most important thing they ever made. They hugged each other and the spade and the bucket. They had fun.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small shovel each. They made castles and hills and holes in the sand. They had fun.
+
+One day, they saw a blue bird on a tree. It was singing a pretty song. They wanted to see it closer. They left their bucket and shovels and ran to the tree. They tried to climb the tree, but it was too high. They asked the bird to come down, but it did not listen. They got angry.
+
+They had an urge to catch the bird. They thought of a plan. They went back to the sand and dug a big hole. They covered it with leaves and sticks. They put some bread on top of the trap. They hid behind a bush and waited for the bird.
+
+The bird saw the bread and flew down. It landed on the trap and fell into the hole. Tom and Lily ran to the hole and grabbed the bird. They were happy. They wanted to keep the bird as a pet. They put it in their bucket and covered it with sand. They thought the bird would be safe and warm.
+
+But the bird was not safe and warm. It was scared and hurt. It could not breathe under the sand. It tried to flap its wings and peck the sand, but it was no use. It died.
+
+Tom and Lily did not know. They went home with their bucket. They told their mom they had a surprise for her. They opened the bucket and showed her the bird. But the bird was not singing. It was not moving. It was not blue. It was gray.
+
+Their mom was shocked and sad. She told them they had killed the bird. She told them they had been cruel and selfish. She told them they had to bury the bird and say sorry. She told them they had to learn to respect and care for all living things.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They cried and hugged their mom. They buried the bird in the garden and said sorry. They learned a lesson. They never tried to catch a bird again. They only watched and listened to them from afar. They still liked to play in the sand, but they only made castles and hills and holes. They did not make traps. They had fun.
+Lily liked to play with her water can. She liked to pour water on the flowers in the garden. She liked to see the flowers grow and smell nice. She liked the red rose best. It was big and bright.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new flower in the garden. It was yellow and shiny. Lily wanted to pour water on it too. She ran to get her water can. But the water can was empty. Lily was sad. She looked for more water.
+
+She saw a big bucket near the house. It had water in it. Lily was happy. She took the bucket and ran to the garden. She wanted to pour water on the yellow flower. But the bucket was too heavy for Lily. She fell down and spilled the water. The water went everywhere. It went on the flowers, on the grass, on the dirt. It also went on the red rose.
+
+The red rose did not like too much water. It got wet and soggy. It lost its petals and color. It died. Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She wished she had not poured water on the red rose. She wished she had left the bucket alone. She wished she had her water can. But it was too late. The red rose was gone. Lily had no more flowers to play with. The end.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a telephone on the table. The telephone is long and shiny. It has many buttons and a cord.
+
+"Wow, look at the telephone!" Tom says. "Can we play with it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily says. "It is not our telephone. It belongs to Mommy."
+
+Tom does not listen. He grabs the telephone and runs away. He wants to keep it for himself. He thinks it is a fun toy.
+
+"Tom, stop!" Lily shouts. "You can't steal the telephone! That is bad!"
+
+But Tom does not stop. He runs to his room and locks the door. He puts the telephone on his bed and smiles. He presses the buttons and makes noises.
+
+"Beep, beep, beep! Hello, hello, hello!" Tom says.
+
+He does not hear Mommy coming. Mommy knocks on the door.
+
+"Tom, open the door!" Mommy says. "What are you doing with the telephone?"
+
+Tom feels scared. He knows he did something wrong. He hides the telephone under his pillow.
+
+"Nothing, Mommy," Tom says. "I am just playing."
+
+Mommy opens the door with a key. She sees the telephone on the bed. She is angry.
+
+"Tom, you stole the telephone!" Mommy says. "That is not a toy! That is a very important thing! You could have broken it or lost it! How could you do that?"
+
+Tom feels sorry. He starts to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy," Tom says. "I just wanted to play. I didn't mean to steal it."
+
+Mommy sighs. She picks up the telephone and checks if it is okay. She hugs Tom and wipes his tears.
+
+"I know, Tom," Mommy says. "But you have to ask before you take something that is not yours. Stealing is wrong. It hurts other people. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nods. He says sorry again.
+
+"I understand, Mommy," Tom says. "I won't steal again. Can I still play with the telephone?"
+
+Mommy smiles. She says yes, but only with her permission and supervision. She shows Tom how to use the telephone properly. She lets him call Lily and apologize. Lily forgives him. They are still friends.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Tom sees a big red car in Mia's room. He wants to touch it and make it go vroom. He does not ask Mia if he can play with it.
+
+Mia comes back from the bathroom and sees Tom with her car. She is angry. She shouts at Tom. "That is my car! Give it back! You are a bad friend!"
+
+Tom is scared and sad. He drops the car and runs away. He cries in his room. He does not want to lose Mia as a friend.
+
+Mia feels sorry for Tom. She knows he likes cars. She remembers that he shared his cookies with her yesterday. She decides to forgive him. She goes to his room and knocks on the door.
+
+"Tom, can I come in?" she asks.
+
+Tom opens the door. He looks pale and wet from crying. He says sorry to Mia.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia. I should have asked you before I touched your car. I was wrong. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Mia smiles and hugs Tom. She says it is okay.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are still my friend. Do you want to play with my car together?"
+
+Tom nods and smiles. He says thank you to Mia.
+
+"Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. Can I share my truck with you?"
+
+Mia says yes and they go to play with their toys. They are happy and forget their fight. They learn to forgive and share.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big blue rod on the ground. It is shiny and long.
+
+"Look, a blue rod!" Tom says. "I want to play with it."
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily says. "I saw it first."
+
+They both run to the rod and try to grab it. They pull and tug and shout.
+
+"Let go, let go!" Tom says.
+
+"No, you let go!" Lily says.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. They look up and see a big cloud in the sky. It is dark and angry. It makes a flash and a boom.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Tom says.
+
+"It is thunder and lightning!" Lily says. "It is scary!"
+
+They drop the rod and hug each other. They are afraid.
+
+The blue rod is not a toy. It is a metal rod. It can strike the lightning. It can hurt them.
+
+A man comes to the park. He sees the rod and the children. He is a worker. He wears a yellow hat and a orange vest.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing here?" he says. "This rod is dangerous. It is for fixing the lights. You should not touch it."
+
+He picks up the rod and puts it in his truck. He tells the children to go home.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Tom says.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Lily says.
+
+They hold hands and run to their mom. They tell her what happened. She hugs them and says they are brave.
+
+They learn a new word: strike. They learn a new thing: rod. They learn a new color: blue. They also learn to share and to be careful.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. But they did not like Ben. Ben was mean. He always took their toys and laughed at them.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam had a plan. They wanted to make Ben embarrassed. They found a bottle of poison in the kitchen. It was green and smelled bad. They poured some poison in Ben's juice. They put the juice on the table and waited.
+
+Ben came in and saw the juice. He was thirsty. He did not know it was poison. He drank the juice and made a face. He felt sick. He ran to the bathroom and threw up.
+
+Tom and Sam laughed. They thought it was funny. They did not know poison was dangerous. They did not know Ben could die.
+
+Mom came in and saw the bottle of poison. She was scared. She saw Ben in the bathroom. She was worried. She called the doctor. She was angry.
+
+Tom and Sam were not laughing anymore. They were scared. They were sorry. They were embarrassed. They learned a lesson. They never played with poison again. They never tried to make Ben embarrassed again. They tried to be nice to Ben. They hoped Ben would be nice to them.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were soldiers. They had sticks for guns and hats for helmets. They ran and hid behind trees and rocks.
+
+They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a big bag and a long beard. He looked weird. He was not playing. He was just watching.
+
+Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to see what was in his bag. They walked slowly to the bench. They said hello to the man.
+
+The man smiled. He opened his bag. He had many things inside. He had books and toys and candy. He said he was a traveler. He said he liked to share his things.
+
+He offered Ben and Lily some candy. He said they could have it if they wanted. He said it was very sweet and yummy.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They liked candy. But they did not know the man. He was a stranger. He was weird. They remembered what their mom and dad had told them. They said no thank you. They said they had to go. They ran back to their game.

+
+The bug sees Tom and gets scared. It flies away fast. Tom tries to follow it, but he loses it. He is sad. He wants to find the bug again.
+
+He looks around the garden, but he does not see the bug. He sees his toys. They are messy and dirty. He remembers that his mom told him to be tidy. He feels sorry.
+
+He goes back to his toys and picks them up. He puts them in a box. He carries the box to the house. He says sorry to his mom and asks her to help him clean them.
+
+His mom smiles and hugs him. She says he is a good boy. She helps him wash his toys and put them away. She says maybe he will see the bug again another day. She says bugs like flowers and trees.
+
+Tom nods and hopes so. He says he likes bugs. He says he likes his toys too. He says he likes his mom the most. He is happy.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. They find a big stick. They want to use it for a game.
+
+But they have a problem. Lily wants to use the stick as a sword. She likes to pretend she is a brave knight. Max wants to use the stick as a wand. He likes to pretend he is a powerful wizard.
+
+They both pull the stick. They both say, "It is mine!" They are not happy. They are angry. They increase their pulling. The stick breaks in two.
+
+Lily and Max are sad. They look at the broken stick. They look at each other. They say, "I am sorry." They hug.
+
+They have an idea. They can use the broken stick for a new game. They can use one part as a sword and one part as a wand. They can be a knight and a wizard together. They can have fun.

+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Anna and Ben fighting over the bunny. She says, "Stop, children. What is going on? Why are you not sharing?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "Anna, Ben, you are twins. You are siblings. You should love each other and share your toys. The bunny is for both of you. You can take turns and play together. How about you hug each other and say sorry?"
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry. They hug each other and say sorry. They say, "We love you, Mom. We love you, bunny. We love you, twin." They smile and laugh. They turn on the switch and sing the song with the bunny. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She hugs them and says, "I love you, children. You are my friends."
+Ben liked to play hide and seek with his big sister, Mia. He was very good at finding places to hide, but Mia was very good at finding him. She was persistent, which means she did not give up easily.
+
+One day, Ben decided to hide in the closet in his room. He thought it was a perfect spot, because it was dark and quiet and had many clothes to cover him. He closed the door and waited for Mia to count to ten.
+
+Mia looked for Ben in the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, and the other rooms, but she could not find him. She wondered where he could be. She remembered that he liked to hide in the closet sometimes, so she went to his room and opened the door.
+
+She saw the closet and heard a small noise inside. She smiled and walked towards it. She opened the closet door and said, "Found you, Ben!"
+
+Ben was surprised and a little sad. He wanted to keep hiding, but Mia was too smart. He came out of the closet and said, "You win, Mia. You are very good at this game."
+
+Mia hugged him and said, "You are very good too, Ben. You are very brave and clever. But I am persistent, and I always find you. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. But this time, you hide and I seek."
+
+Mia agreed and they ran to the living room to start a new round. They had a lot of fun playing hide and seek, because they loved each other very much.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Sometimes they share, but sometimes they fight.

+
+Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees the big truck and the mess. She sees Tom and Mia fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting! You have to share. You have many cars and trucks. You can take turns with the big truck."

They see the traffic. They say, "Wow, look at the big traffic!" They play with their big truck on the grass. They share and have fun. They are happy twins.
+Tom likes to play with his whistle. He blows it loud and makes funny noises. He thinks it is a silly toy and he laughs a lot. He likes to run around the yard with his whistle in his mouth.
+
+One day, he sees a big tree in the yard. He wants to climb it and see how high he can go. He puts his whistle in his pocket and starts to climb. He feels brave and strong. He goes higher and higher until he reaches the top.
+
+He looks around and sees the sky and the birds and the houses. He feels happy and proud. He takes out his whistle and blows it hard. He wants to tell everyone he is up here. He blows it again and again.
+
+But he does not see the branch that is loose. He does not hear the crack that it makes. He does not feel it break under his feet. He only feels himself fall. He falls fast and hard. He drops his whistle and it falls too. He screams and cries.
+
+He lands on the grass and hurts his arm and his leg. He sees his whistle on the ground next to him. It is broken and does not make any noise. He feels sad and scared. He wishes he did not climb the tree. He wishes he did not play with his whistle. He wishes he was not so silly.
+One day, Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. They pretended they were racing drivers and police officers and firefighters.
+
+But then, the sky turned dark and the wind blew hard. They heard a loud noise like a big lion roaring. It was a hurricane! The hurricane was very angry and scary. It picked up leaves and branches and trash and threw them everywhere. It also picked up Anna and Ben's toy cars and carried them away.
+
+Anna and Ben were very sad and scared. They ran to their mom and dad, who were waiting in the car. They hugged them tight and hoped the hurricane would go away soon.
+
+After a while, the hurricane got tired and left. The sky turned bright and the wind stopped blowing. Anna and Ben looked around and saw a big mess. The park was full of things that the hurricane had dropped. They wondered if they would ever find their toy cars again.
+
+But then, they saw something shiny and colorful. It was their toy cars! The hurricane had reversed them and put them back in the park. They were not broken or dirty.

+
+She ran to the road. She did not look or listen. She did not see the red light or hear the horn. She tried to climb on a big truck. But the truck did not stop. It hit Lily. Lily fell down. She did not get up.
+
+Lily's mom saw what happened. She screamed and cried. She ran to Lily. She hugged her and kissed her. But Lily did not hug or kiss back. She did not open her eyes. She did not breathe.
+
+Lily was gone. She could not climb anymore. She could not play anymore. She could not laugh anymore. Lily's mom was very sad. She wished Lily had not climbed on the road. She wished Lily had stayed with her. She wished Lily was still alive.

+Ben and Lily liked to play near the river. They saw many things there: fish, ducks, stones, flowers. One day, they found a big box by the water. It was brown and had a lock on it.
+
+"Look, Lily, a box!" Ben said. "What is inside?"
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe toys, or candy, or treasure!" Lily said. "Let's open it!"
+
+They tried to open the lock, but it was too hard. They pulled and pushed, but it did not move. They looked for a key, but they did not find one.
+
+"Maybe we need a tall person to help us," Ben said. "Like Mom or Dad, or the mailman."
+
+"Or maybe we need a magic word," Lily said. "Like abracadabra, or please, or river!"
+
+They tried to say different words, but nothing happened. The lock stayed closed.
+
+They were sad and tired. They decided to leave the box and go home.
+
+"Maybe we can come back tomorrow and try again," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe," Lily said. "But I wonder what is inside."

+
+"Thank you, Ben and Lily," she said. "You said the magic word: river. That is where I live. You are very kind and smart. I will give you a gift. When you come back, you will find something nice in the box. Goodbye!"

+She flew away, leaving a trail of sparkles behind her. The box closed again, waiting for Ben and Lily to return.

+
+Lily cried. She ran to the doll and picked it up. She hugged it and said, "I'm sorry, Daisy. I will protect you. You are not boring. You are my friend."
+
+Max laughed. He said, "You are silly. Dolls are not friends. They are toys. You are a baby."
+
+Lily felt angry. She said, "No, I'm not. You are mean. You are not my friend. Go away."

+She ran to her bed and put the doll under her pillow. She closed her eyes and wished Max would leave. She said, "Daisy, don't be afraid. I will protect you. You are my friend."

+Lily said, "But Mommy, can you tell me a story first?" 
+
+Mommy said, "Of course, I will tell you a story about a little bunny who loved to hop." 
+
+Lily listened intently to the story and loved it so much that she asked her mom to remind her to hear it again tomorrow. Mommy smiled and said, "I will remind you, Lily. Now it's time for bed." 
+
+Lily happily went to bed, dreaming of the little bunny who loved to hop.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy liked to run around and play outside. One day, Timmy's mom gave him a box of matches to play with. She told him not to play with them alone because they were dangerous.
+
+Timmy thought the matches looked interesting. He wanted to show his friends, but they weren't around. So, he decided to play with them by himself. He struck a match and watched it light up. It was fun to watch, but then he accidentally dropped the match on the ground.
+
+Suddenly, the grass caught on fire and Timmy didn't know what to do. He remembered his mom's warning and ran to get help. Luckily, the fire department came and put out the fire. Timmy learned his lesson and never played with matches again.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to fish with his dad. One day, they went to the lake to catch some fish. Timmy's dad gave him a shiny new rod to use. Timmy was so excited to use it!
+
+After a while, Timmy caught a perfect fish. It was big and colorful. Timmy and his dad were so happy! They decided to celebrate by having a picnic by the lake. They ate sandwiches and drank lemonade. It was a wonderful day.
+Once upon a time, there was a man who was very hungry. He went to the store to buy some food. He saw a banana on the ground and tried to pick it up, but he slipped and fell. 
+
+The man got up and saw a little boy nearby. The boy gave him a candy bar and the man was very grateful. He ate the candy bar and felt much better. 
+
+The man and the boy became friends and they went to get some food together. The man was no longer hungry and they had a great time. They played games and laughed a lot. The man was happy he had slipped because he met a new friend.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She was wearing a white dress and had a big smile on her face. She went to the park with her mommy to play. 
+
+While playing, Lily saw a little boy who was crying. She asked him why he was crying. The little boy said that he lost his balloon. Lily wanted to help him find it. 
+
+They looked and looked but they couldn't find it. Then, Lily had an idea. She took a string and tied it to her own balloon. She gave the string to the little boy and said, "Now you can hold onto this string and pretend it's your balloon." 
+
+The little boy was happy again and he thanked Lily. Lily felt happy too because she helped someone. She took a deep breath and felt her lung fill with fresh air. She smiled and said to her mommy, "I feel good."
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and go on adventures. One day, she went to the park with her mom and found a treasure! It was a shiny rock that sparkled in the sun.
+
+Lily was so excited about her treasure that she showed it to everyone she met. But then, she accidentally dropped it and it broke into pieces. She felt sad and started to cry. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay to feel sad and suffer, but we can always find new treasures."
+
+Lily wiped her tears and started to look for new treasures. She found a funny looking stick and pretended it was a magic wand. She had so much fun playing with it and forgot all about her broken treasure. From that day on, Lily knew that even when things break or we suffer, we can always find something new to make us happy.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys, but sometimes her little brother would disturb her. He would come into her room and mess up all her things. Lily didn't like this, and she would get very upset.
+
+One day, Lily's mom told her that they were going to go to the park. Lily was very excited! But when they got there, they saw that the park was very crowded. They had to wait a long time to find a spot to play. Lily got a little bit bored, but she tried to be patient.
+
+After a while, Lily saw a group of kids playing a game. They were being very foolish and not following the rules. Lily knew that wasn't right, so she decided not to join in. She waited until they were finished, and then she found some new friends to play with. They had a great time without disturbing anyone. The end.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her dolls and dress them up in pretty clothes. Lily's mom had a special way to fold the clothes to make them look nice. She called it a "style".
+
+One day, Lily got very angry with her brother because he took her favorite doll. She wanted to scream and cry, but then she remembered what her mom had taught her. She took a deep breath and decided to fold her anger like a piece of paper. She made it small and put it away.
+
+After that, Lily felt much better. She hugged her brother and they played together. Lily even showed him how to fold the doll's clothes in her mom's special "style". They had so much fun and were happy again.
+Once upon a time, there was a hero. His name was Max. Max was very strong and brave. He liked to help people.
+
+One day, Max saw a bad man. The bad man was trying to steal a toy from a little girl. Max knew he had to help. He put his cape on and ran to the little girl.
+
+Max said, "Don't worry, I'll help you." Max fought the bad man and saved the toy. The little girl was so happy. She said, "Thank you, Max. You're my hero!" Max smiled and felt proud. He knew he did a good thing.
+Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lily. She loved birthdays because she got presents. One day, she was playing with her toys when her mom came in and said, "Lily, your friend is coming over soon for your birthday party."
+
+Lily was so excited! She ran to the door to wait for her friend. When her friend arrived, she gave Lily a present. Lily was so happy! She opened the present and saw a pretty ring inside. "Thank you so much!" Lily said.
+
+Later, they played games and ate cake. Lily loved her birthday party. When it was time for her friend to go home, Lily said, "Thank you for coming to my party and for my present. I love my new ring!"
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside and collect pretty rocks. One day, she found a shiny rock that she thought was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. 
+
+Lily ran to show her mom the prize she had found. "Mommy, look what I found!" she said excitedly. "It's so pretty and clean!" 
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That is a very nice rock, Lily. You should keep it safe." 
+
+Later that day, Lily went to play with her friend Sarah. "Look what I found today!" she said, showing Sarah the shiny rock. 
+
+Sarah said, "Wow, that's so cool! Can I hold it?" 
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Sure, but be careful. It's my special prize." 
+
+The two girls played together for hours, and Lily was happy to share her prize with her friend.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their cart. They fill it with toys and books and push it around the house. Sometimes they pretend it is a car or a train or a spaceship.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben decide to test their cart. They want to see how fast it can go and how much it can carry. They put on their helmets and gloves and go outside. They find a big hill and put their cart at the top.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Sara says. She and Ben jump in the cart and hold on tight. The cart zooms down the hill, faster and faster. Sara and Ben laugh and scream. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces.
+
+But then, the cart hits a rock and flips over. Sara and Ben tumble out and land on the grass. The cart rolls away and crashes into a tree. Toys and books fly everywhere. Sara and Ben are scared and hurt. They have scratches and bruises and tears.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise and run outside. They see Sara and Ben and the cart. They are worried and angry. They hug Sara and Ben and check if they are okay. They tell them they were very naughty and careless. They should not test their cart like that. They could have been very hurt.
+
+They take Sara and Ben and the cart inside. They clean their wounds and give them ice and band-aids. They make them drink water and eat fruit. They tell them they love them and they want them to be healthy and safe. They tell them they can play with their cart again, but only on the flat ground and with their supervision.
+
+Sara and Ben say they are sorry and they hug Mom and Dad. They promise to be more careful and listen to them. They learn their lesson and they are happy to be healthy and loved.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big lawn with green grass and yellow flowers. Sometimes they see bugs and birds on the lawn.
+
+One day, they see a big ant. The ant is carrying a leaf. The leaf is bigger than the ant. Tom and Anna are amazed.
+
+"Wow, look at the ant!" Tom says. "It is so strong!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Anna says. "How can it carry the leaf?"
+
+They go closer to the ant. They want to see it better. The ant does not stop. It keeps walking with the leaf.
+
+"Where is it going?" Tom asks.
+
+"Maybe it is going to its home," Anna says. "Maybe it has a family."
+
+"Maybe it has friends," Tom says.
+
+They follow the ant. They are curious. They want to know more about the ant.
+
+They discuss the ant. They ask each other questions. They make guesses. They have fun.
+
+The ant leads them to a small hole in the ground. The hole is near a tree. The ant goes inside the hole with the leaf.
+
+Tom and Anna stop. They look at the hole.
+
+"Is that its home?" Tom wonders.
+
+"I think so," Anna says.
+
+They kneel down. They peer into the hole. They hope to see the ant again.
+
+But they do not see the ant. They only see darkness.
+
+They shrug. They smile. They stand up.
+
+They go back to the lawn. They look for other bugs and birds. They play some more.
+
+They are happy. They are friends. They like to learn new things.
+Lily and Tom like to play in the park. They see a big bench with many colors. It is a modern bench. It has shapes and lights on it. Lily and Tom want to sit on the bench.
+
+But the bench is too high for them. They cannot reach it. They try to jump, but they fall. They are sad. They want to sit on the bench.
+
+Then they see a button on the ground. It has a picture of a bench on it. Lily and Tom press the button. The bench makes a sound. It starts to move. It goes down and down. It stops at their level. Lily and Tom are happy. They can sit on the bench.
+
+They sit on the bench and enjoy the colors and lights. They feel like they are in a spaceship. They pretend to fly to the stars. They have fun on the modern bench. They raise their arms and shout, "Weee!"
+Lila and Tom were on a big boat with Mom and Dad. They liked to see the water and the birds and the other boats. The boat took them to a place called a harbor, where many boats stopped and people got on and off.
+
+"Look, Lila, there are so many colorful flags on the boats!" Tom said, pointing to the bright red, blue, yellow and green flags that waved in the wind.
+
+"Yes, they are pretty. I want to touch them," Lila said, leaning over the railing of the boat.
+
+"Be careful, Lila, you might drop your hat!" Mom said, holding Lila's hand.
+
+But Lila did not listen. She reached out her arm to touch a flag, and her hat slipped off her head. It fell into the water with a splash.
+
+"Oh no, my hat!" Lila cried, watching her hat float away.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila, maybe we can get you a new hat," Dad said, hugging Lila.
+
+"Look, Lila, a bird!" Tom said, trying to cheer up his sister. He pointed to a white bird that flew over the water and picked up Lila's hat with its beak.
+
+"Wow, the bird has my hat!" Lila said, smiling.
+
+"Maybe the bird likes your hat. Maybe it will make a nest with it," Mom said, smiling too.
+
+"Bye bye, hat. Bye bye, bird. Have fun," Lila said, waving to the bird as it flew away.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a big box. They want to fill the box with their toys.
+
+"I want to put my dolls in the box," Lily says.
+
+"No, I want to put my cars in the box," Max says.
+
+They start to pull and push the toys. They make a lot of noise.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes from the kitchen. She looks angry. "I have a meeting on the phone. You need to be quiet and share the box."
+
+"But Mom, we both want the box," Lily says.
+
+"Me too," Max says.
+
+Mom sighs. She looks at the box. It is broken. The sides are torn and the bottom is falling out.
+
+"Look what you did," Mom says. "You broke the box. Now no one can use it."
+
+Lily and Max feel sad. They did not mean to break the box. They say sorry to Mom.
+
+"It's okay," Mom says. "But you need to learn to play nicely. How about you take turns with the box? Lily can use it for ten minutes, then Max can use it for ten minutes. And you can also play with other toys."
+
+Lily and Max nod. They agree to take turns. They hug Mom and say thank you. Mom smiles and goes back to the kitchen. She hopes her meeting will go well. Lily and Max start to play with the box and their toys. They are quiet and happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box full of animals, cars, dolls and blocks. They liked to make up stories and act them out.
+
+"Let's play dragon and princess!" Lily said. She put on a pink dress and a crown. "I am the princess and you are the dragon. You have to chase me and try to catch me!"
+
+"OK!" Ben said. He put on a green mask and a tail. He made a loud roar and ran after Lily. "I am the dragon and I want to eat you!"
+
+Lily screamed and ran away. She hid behind a tree and peeked out. Ben was looking for her. He sniffed the air and followed her scent. He saw her behind the tree and jumped out.
+
+"Got you!" he said. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to the ground. He opened his mouth and pretended to bite her.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily cried. "Someone save me from the dragon!"
+
+But no one came to save her. Their mom was inside the house, making lunch. She did not hear them. Their dad was at work. He did not see them. Their dog was asleep. He did not care.
+
+Ben did not stop. He bit harder and harder. He thought it was fun. He did not know he was hurting Lily. He did not hear her cry.
+
+Lily felt pain. She felt blood. She felt scared. She wished Ben would stop. She wished he would be nice. She wished he would be her brother again.
+
+But he did not stop. He did not finish. He did not let go.
+
+He did not see the tears in her eyes. He did not see the fear in her face. He did not see the love in her heart.
+
+He only saw the dragon in his head. He only saw the princess in his mouth. He only saw the game in his mind.
+
+He was not adorable. He was not a dragon. He was not a brother.
+
+He was a monster.
+Tom liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. Sometimes he pretended they were talking to each other.
+
+One day, he found a new car in his toy box. It was white and shiny, and it had a big red button on the roof. Tom wondered what the button did. He pressed it and heard a beep. Then the car started to move by itself. It went forward and backward, left and right, fast and slow. Tom was amazed and happy. He followed the car around the room.
+
+The car went under the table, behind the sofa, and into the kitchen. Tom ran after it, laughing. He saw the car go near the fridge. The fridge was big and cold, and it had food and drinks inside. Tom liked to open the fridge and look for snacks. But the car did not stop at the fridge. It bumped into the fridge and made a loud noise. Then it pressed the red button again and reversed.
+
+Tom was surprised and scared. He saw the fridge door open and close by itself. He heard things fall and break inside the fridge. He smelled something bad and wet. He cried and called for his mom.
+
+Mom came and saw the mess. She saw the car, the fridge, and Tom. She was angry and sad. She picked up Tom and hugged him. She told him to never play with the car again. She said it was not an ordinary car. It was a magic car that could make things go backward. She said it was dangerous and naughty. She threw the car in the trash and cleaned the fridge. Tom said he was sorry and he loved her. He learned his lesson and never touched the magic car again.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go on trips with their mom and dad. One day, they went to the zoo to see the animals. Lily loved the monkeys, who jumped and played on the trees. Ben loved the lions, who roared and slept in the sun.
+
+"Can we feed the monkeys?" Lily asked mom.
+
+"No, sweetie, we can't. The monkeys have their own food and we have to respect them," mom said.
+
+"But I want to feed them. They look hungry and cute," Lily insisted.
+
+"Sorry, honey, but it's not allowed. Maybe we can buy a toy monkey at the gift shop later," mom said.
+
+Lily pouted and crossed her arms. She did not like mom's answer. She wanted to feed the monkeys.
+
+Meanwhile, Ben was watching the lions with dad. He was amazed by their big teeth and claws. He wanted to touch them.
+
+"Can I pet the lions?" Ben asked dad.
+
+"No, buddy, you can't. The lions are wild and dangerous and we have to keep a safe distance," dad said.
+
+"But I want to pet them. They look soft and charming," Ben insisted.
+
+"Sorry, son, but it's not possible. Maybe we can read a book about lions at home later," dad said.
+
+Ben frowned and stamped his feet. He did not like dad's answer. He wanted to pet the lions.
+
+Lily and Ben were both unhappy. They did not enjoy the trip to the zoo. They wanted to do things their way. They did not listen to their mom and dad.
+
+Mom and dad were sad. They wanted to make Lily and Ben happy. They wanted to share the trip to the zoo with them. They hoped Lily and Ben would learn to appreciate the animals.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had a big basket of cherries that their mom gave them. They wanted to share the cherries with their friends, but they did not know how to divide them.
+
+"Let's count the cherries and give each friend one," Lily said.
+
+"But what if some cherries are bigger or smaller than others?" Ben asked.
+
+"Then we can cut them in half and give each friend a half," Lily said.
+
+They started to count and cut the cherries, but they soon found a problem. Some cherries were sweet and juicy, and some were bitter and dry. They did not want to give their friends the bitter cherries, but they did not know which ones they were.
+
+"How can we tell the difference?" Ben wondered.
+
+"Maybe we can taste them first," Lily suggested.
+
+They tasted some cherries, but they did not like the bitter ones. They made faces and spat them out.
+
+"Yuck! These cherries are bad!" Lily said.
+
+"I don't like them either!" Ben agreed.
+
+They looked at the basket and saw that they had many cherries left. They did not want to waste them, but they did not want to eat them either.
+
+"What can we do with them?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. Then she had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can unite them with something else," she said.
+
+"Unite them? What does that mean?" Ben asked.
+
+"It means to put them together with something else to make something new," Lily explained.
+
+"Like what?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily looked around and saw a jar of honey on the shelf.
+
+"Like honey!" she said. "Honey is sweet and sticky. Maybe it can make the bitter cherries taste better."
+
+She took the jar and poured some honey over the cherries. She mixed them well and gave Ben a spoon.
+
+"Try it," she said.
+
+Ben took a spoonful and tasted it. He smiled.
+
+"Mmm, this is good!" he said.
+
+Lily tasted it too and nodded.
+
+"You're right, it is good!" she said.
+
+They filled some cups with the honey and cherry mix and took them to their friends.
+
+"Here, we made something for you," Lily said.
+
+"What is it?" their friends asked.
+
+"It's honey and cherry," Ben said. "It's sweet and yummy. You'll like it."
+
+Their friends tried it and liked it too. They thanked Lily and Ben and asked for more.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They had found a way to unite the bitter cherries with the sweet honey and make something delicious. They had also shared it with their friends and made them happy. They decided to call their new treat cherry honey and make it again.
+Sam and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they found a big stick in the grass. Sam said, "This is my weapon. I can use it to fight bad guys." Ben said, "No, this is my weapon. I saw it first. Give it to me." They both pulled on the stick and tried to take it from each other.
+
+A girl named Lily was watching them. She was thoughtful and kind. She did not like to see them fight. She had an idea. She went to them and said, "Stop fighting. I can show you something better." She took them to a big tree. She said, "Look, this tree has many sticks. You can each have one. Then you can play together and be happy." Sam and Ben looked at the tree. They saw that she was right. They let go of the stick and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are smart and nice." They each picked a stick and ran to play. Lily smiled and followed them. They had fun and forgot their fight.
+Tom and Sue like to play with soap. They have many soap bars of different colors and shapes. They like to rub them on their hands and make bubbles. Sometimes they also make soap sculptures with a knife and a spoon.
+
+One day, they find a big soap bar in the bathroom. It is white and has no smell. It looks very old and has cracks on it. Tom and Sue wonder what it is.
+
+"Maybe it is a special soap," Tom says. "Maybe it can make magic."
+
+"Let's try it," Sue says. "Maybe we can make a rainbow or a star."
+
+They take the old soap bar and go to the sink. They turn on the water and wet the soap. They rub it on their hands, but nothing happens. No bubbles, no colors, no magic.
+
+"This soap is no fun," Tom says. "It is too old and dry. It does not make anything."
+
+"Maybe we can make something with it," Sue says. "Maybe we can make a new soap."
+
+She takes the knife and the spoon and starts to cut the old soap bar into small pieces. She puts them in a bowl and adds some water. She stirs the mixture with the spoon.
+
+"Look, Tom," she says. "The soap is melting. It is becoming soft and smooth. We can make a new soap bar with it."
+
+She pours the mixture into a mold and puts it in the freezer. She waits for a while and then takes it out. She has a new soap bar. It is white and shiny. It smells like mint.
+
+"Wow, Sue," Tom says. "You are very clever. You made a new soap with the old soap. Can we play with it?"
+
+"Sure, Tom," Sue says. "Let's play with it. Maybe it can make magic after all."
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun making noises and pretending to go on adventures.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. It was their cousin Sam, who came to visit. Sam was older than them and he liked to tease them.
+
+"Hello, little ones," Sam said. "What are you playing with? Can I join you?"
+
+Lily and Tom did not like Sam. He always took their toys and made fun of them. They decided to ignore him and keep playing.
+
+Sam did not like that. He wanted to make them pay attention to him. He grabbed Lily's doll and said, "This is a silly doll. It has a funny face and a funny dress. Look at me, I can make it dance."
+
+Lily was angry. She wanted her doll back. She said, "Give me my doll, Sam. It is not silly. It is pretty and nice. You are silly and mean."
+
+Sam laughed. He said, "No, I will not give you your doll. It is mine now. You can have this instead." He threw a figure at Lily. It was a figure of a monster with big teeth and claws.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not like the figure. She said, "No, I do not want that. It is ugly and scary. Go away, Sam. You are not nice."
+
+Tom saw that Lily was scared and angry. He wanted to help her. He said, "Leave Lily alone, Sam. She does not like you. We do not like you. You are not fun. You are rude."
+
+Sam was surprised. He did not expect Tom to stand up for Lily. He said, "Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it? You are too small and weak. I can do whatever I want."
+
+Tom was brave. He said, "No, you can not. You are a guest here. You have to be polite and share. If you do not, we will tell Mom and Dad. They will be mad at you."
+
+Sam was scared. He did not want to get in trouble. He said, "Fine, fine. Here, take your doll and your figure. I do not want them anyway. They are boring. I will go play with something else."
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They got their toys back. They said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. You are strong and kind."
+
+They hugged each other and went back to playing. They ignored Sam and his mean words. They had fun with their toys and their imagination.
+Tim liked to cut paper with his scissors. He cut shapes and animals and letters. He cut a big star and a small star. He cut a red heart and a blue heart. He cut a green vest and a yellow vest.
+
+He showed his mom his paper cuts. She smiled and said, "You are very good at cutting, Tim. You made so many nice things. But why did you cut two vests?"
+
+Tim said, "One vest is for me and one vest is for you, Mom. We can wear them and be twins."
+
+Mom hugged Tim and said, "That is very sweet of you, Tim. But you know, paper vests are not very warm or strong. They can tear easily. How about we make real vests with cloth and buttons?"
+
+Tim nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. That sounds fun. Can we make them now?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure, Tim. Let's go to the store and buy some cloth and buttons. We can pick any color we want. Maybe we can find some stars and hearts too."
+
+Tim and Mom went to the store. They saw many colors of cloth and buttons. They chose some purple cloth and some silver buttons. They also found some stickers of stars and hearts. They paid for their things and went home.
+
+They cut the cloth with scissors. They sewed the buttons with a needle and thread. They stuck the stickers on the vests. They made two beautiful vests. They looked like twins.
+
+They wore their vests and went outside. It was a cold and windy day. But they felt warm and happy. They saw their neighbor, Mrs. Lee. She said, "Hello, Tim and Mom. You look very nice in your vests. They are very special and pretty."
+
+Tim and Mom said, "Thank you, Mrs. Lee. We made them ourselves. They are not ordinary vests. They are star and heart vests."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play music with pots and pans. They bang and clang and make a lot of noise. They have fun with their own rhythm.
+
+One day, Tom has a new idea. He says to Mia, "Let's test something. Let's put some food in the pots and pans and see what happens."
+
+Mia thinks this is a good idea. She says, "OK, let's do it. What food do you have?"
+
+Tom says, "I have some cheese, some eggs, some ketchup and some chocolate. Let's mix them all together and cook them on the stove."
+
+Mia says, "That sounds yummy. Let's go to the kitchen."
+
+They go to the kitchen and put all the food in the pots and pans. They turn on the stove and start to bang and clang again. They make a big mess and a lot of smoke. They laugh and sing with their own rhythm.
+
+But then, Mom comes in. She sees the pots and pans and the food and the smoke. She smells the cheese and the eggs and the ketchup and the chocolate. She says, "What are you doing? This is disgusting! You have to stop this right now and clean up!"
+
+Tom and Mia stop banging and clanging. They look at Mom and say, "Sorry, Mom. We were just testing something. We wanted to make music with food."
+
+Mom says, "Music with food? That's not music, that's a disaster. You can't play with food like that. Food is for eating, not for making noise. And you can't use the stove without me. That's dangerous. You could get hurt or start a fire. You have to be careful and listen to me."
+
+Tom and Mia say, "Sorry, Mom. We didn't mean to make a disaster. We didn't know it was dangerous. We won't do it again. We will clean up and eat our food."
+
+Mom says, "Thank you. I'm glad you understand. Now, let's go to the dining room and have some lunch. I have some sandwiches and fruit for you. And maybe later, we can play some music with real instruments. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Mia say, "That sounds great, Mom. We love you. And we love music. But not with food."
+Sam likes to call his dad when he is at work. He knows his dad is busy, but he likes to hear his voice and tell him what he did at home. Sometimes, his dad tells him stories or jokes that make him laugh.
+
+One day, Sam finds his dad's phone on the couch. He thinks it is a good time to call him and say hello. He picks up the phone and presses the green button. He hears a beep and then a voice.
+
+"Hello, this is Mike. How can I help you?" the voice says.
+
+Sam smiles and says, "Hi, dad. It's me, Sam. I miss you."
+
+The voice sounds surprised and says, "Sam? Is that you? How did you get the phone?"
+
+Sam says, "I found it on the couch. I wanted to call you and talk to you."
+
+The voice says, "Oh, Sam, you are so sweet. But you know, I am at work right now. I have to talk to other people and do important things. You can't call me when I am at work. It is not polite."
+
+Sam feels sad and says, "But I love you, dad. I just wanted to hear you."
+
+The voice says, "I love you too, Sam. But you have to be a good boy and wait until I come home. Then we can talk and play and have fun. OK?"
+
+Sam says, "OK, dad. I'm sorry. I won't call you at work again."
+
+The voice says, "That's OK, Sam. You are a good boy and a helpful son. I am proud of you. Now, give the phone to mom and say goodbye."
+
+Sam says, "Bye, dad. See you soon."
+
+He gives the phone to mom and hugs her. He tells her what he did and she smiles. She says, "You are a good boy, Sam. But next time, ask me before you use the phone. OK?"
+
+Sam says, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+She says, "I love you too, Sam. Now, let's have a snack and read a book."
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room when they heard a loud noise. It was the wind, blowing hard and making things fly. Their mom came in and said, "We have to go to the basement. There is a hurricane outside. It is very dark and dangerous."
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They grabbed their favorite toys and followed their mom. They went down the stairs and into the basement. Their mom said, "We have to cover ourselves with blankets. The hurricane can break the windows and hurt us."
+
+Lily and Ben did what their mom said. They wrapped themselves in blankets and cuddled with their toys. They heard more noises, like thunder and crashing. They hoped the hurricane would go away soon.
+
+But the hurricane did not go away. It got stronger and stronger. It tore off the roof of their house and threw it away. It ripped apart the walls and the furniture. It reached the basement and found Lily and Ben.
+
+The blankets did not protect them. The hurricane lifted them up and carried them away. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. They never saw their mom or their house again. The hurricane took them far, far away.
+Lily was a big girl. She went to school with her friends. She liked her teacher and her classroom. She learned many things in school.
+
+One day, it was very cold outside. Lily wore a warm coat and a hat. She saw snow on the ground. She wanted to play in the snow with her friends. But she had to go to school first.
+
+At school, Lily saw a big box in the classroom. The teacher said it was a surprise. She said they had to wait until after lunch to open it. Lily was curious. She wondered what was in the box.
+
+Lily ate her lunch with her friends. She had a sandwich and a juice. She was still hungry. She saw a vending machine in the hall. She wanted to buy a snack. She asked her teacher if she could buy a snack. The teacher said yes, but she had to hurry.
+
+Lily ran to the vending machine. She had a coin in her pocket. She put the coin in the slot. She pressed a button. She heard a noise. She saw a candy bar fall down. She was happy. She grabbed the candy bar. She opened it. She took a bite. It was yummy.
+
+Lily ran back to the classroom. She wanted to share her candy bar with her friends. But when she got there, she saw that the box was open. She saw that there were many toys in the box. There were cars and dolls and books and puzzles. The teacher said they were a gift from a nice person. She said they could play with them. Lily was excited. She forgot about her candy bar. She joined her friends. She played with the toys. She had fun. She was glad.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. Ben had a modern toy boat that could sail on water and make noises. Sam had an old toy boat that was quiet and had no batteries. Ben always teased Sam and said his boat was boring and silly.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. There was a big pond where they could sail their boats. Ben put his modern boat on the water and pressed a button. The boat zoomed away and made loud sounds. Sam put his old boat on the water and blew on it. The boat moved slowly and quietly.
+
+"Look at my boat, it's so fast and cool!" Ben shouted. "Your boat is so slow and dull!"
+
+Sam felt sad and wished he had a modern boat like Ben. He tried to blow harder on his boat, but it did not go faster.
+
+Suddenly, Ben's boat stopped working. It made a beep and then sank into the water. Ben was shocked and ran to the edge of the pond. He tried to reach his boat, but it was too deep and too far.
+
+"Help, help, my boat is gone!" Ben cried.
+
+Sam saw what happened and felt sorry for Ben. He sailed his old boat near Ben's boat and used a string to pull it out of the water. He gave Ben his boat back and said, "Here, you can have your boat. I'm sorry it broke."
+
+Ben looked at his wet and broken boat and then at Sam's dry and working boat. He felt ashamed and grateful. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You are very kind. I'm sorry I teased you. Your boat is not boring and silly. It is nice and reliable."
+
+Sam smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are my brother and I love you. Maybe we can share our boats and play together."
+
+Ben nodded and hugged Sam. They sailed their boats together and had fun. Their mom and dad watched them and smiled. They were proud of their sons.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge things by their appearance. Be humble and generous. Love your family and friends.
+Ben likes to read books. He has many books in his room. He reads books every day. He reads books about cars, animals, and space. He learns new things from books.
+
+One day, Ben wants to read a new book. He sees a big book on the top shelf. He thinks the book is about dinosaurs. He likes dinosaurs. He wants to read the book. He tries to reach the book. He stands on his bed. He stretches his arm. He grabs the book.
+
+But the book is too big and heavy. Ben loses his balance. He and the book fall from the bed. They fall hard on the floor. Ben hits his head. The book hits his leg. Ben feels pain. He cries loud. He has a bump on his head. He has a bruise on his leg. He cannot read the book. He is sad and hurt.
+
+Mom hears Ben cry. She runs to his room. She sees Ben and the book on the floor. She is scared and worried. She hugs Ben. She says, "Are you okay, Ben? What happened?" Ben tells Mom what happened. Mom says, "Oh, Ben, you should not try to get the book by yourself. It is too big and high for you. You could get hurt. You should ask me for help. I can get the book for you. Or you can read another book. You have many books in your room. You can read them later. Now, let me see your head and leg. We need to put some ice and bandage on them. They will feel better soon."
+
+Mom takes Ben to the bathroom. She puts some ice and bandage on his head and leg. She gives him a kiss. She says, "I love you, Ben. I am sorry you got hurt. Next time, be careful and ask for help. Okay?" Ben nods. He says, "I love you, Mom. I am sorry I was silly. Next time, I will be careful and ask for help. Okay?" Mom smiles. She says, "Okay. Now, do you want to read a book with me? I can read you a story. You can choose a book. But not the big book. It is too tight for us. We need a smaller book. A book that we can hold and read easily. Okay?" Ben smiles. He says, "Okay. I want to read a book with you. I want to read a book about cars. I like cars. Can we read a book about cars?" Mom says, "Sure. We can read a book about cars. Let's go to your room and find a book about cars. Come on." Mom and Ben go to his room. They find a book about cars. They sit on his bed. They read the book together. They have fun. They forget about the fall. They are happy.
+Sara and Tom liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump, slide and swing. One day, they saw a big statue of a man with a hat and a coat. He looked very serious and old.
+
+"Let's dance around him!" Sara said. "Maybe he will smile and dance with us!"
+
+Tom nodded. He liked to dance. They ran to the statue and started to dance. They made funny faces and noises. They hoped the statue would like them.
+
+But the statue did not like them. He did not smile or dance. He was angry and mean. He did not like children who made fun of him. He waited for the right moment to teach them a lesson.
+
+When Sara and Tom were very close to him, he moved. He grabbed them with his cold and hard hands. He lifted them up and held them tight. He glared at them with his fierce eyes.
+
+Sara and Tom were very frightened. They screamed and cried. They wanted to go back to their mom and dad. They wanted to stop playing with the statue.
+
+But the statue did not let them go. He said in a low and scary voice, "Now you will be my statues. You will stay with me forever. You will never dance or laugh again."
+
+And he turned them into stone.
+Sara likes to watch princess movies. She thinks they are very pretty and charming. She wants to be a princess too. She has a dress, a necklace and a crown. She puts them on and looks in the mirror. She smiles and twirls.

+
+Sara gives him a hat and a cape. They pretend to be a prince and a princess. They go to the living room and sit on the sofa. They watch a princess movie together. They laugh and clap. They have a lot of fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the bathtub. They have a new toy boat that can float and make sounds. They are very happy with their new toy.
+
+One day, Mom says, "It's time for your bath, Lily and Ben. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." Lily and Ben run to the bathroom and take off their clothes. They jump into the bathtub and fill it with water and bubbles.
+
+Mom gives them their new toy boat and says, "Here you go, have fun with your new toy. But remember, don't splash too much water on the floor, okay?" Lily and Ben nod and say, "Okay, Mom."
+
+They start to play with their new toy boat. They make it go fast and slow, left and right, and make it beep and honk. They laugh and giggle and have a lot of fun. But they also splash a lot of water on the floor. They don't notice that the floor is wet and slippery.
+
+Mom comes back to check on them and sees the water on the floor. She says, "Oh no, Lily and Ben, look what you did. You splashed too much water on the floor. You didn't remember what I told you, did you?" Lily and Ben look at the floor and feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We forgot. We were having too much fun with our new toy."
+
+Mom says, "It's okay, I know you like your new toy. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Next time, please remember not to splash too much water on the floor, okay?" Lily and Ben say, "Okay, Mom. We will remember. We love you, Mom." Mom says, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. Now, let's dry you off and get you ready for bed." She hugs them and helps them get out of the bathtub. They put on their pajamas and go to their bedroom. They sleep with their new toy boat next to them. They dream of sailing on the sea.
+Lily liked to pick flowers from the garden. She put them in her pocket and gave them to her mom. Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very sweet."
+
+One day, Lily saw a big flower that was not like the others. It was red and yellow and had many petals. It looked like a sun. Lily wanted to pick it and show it to mom. She reached for the flower, but it was too high. She stood on her toes and stretched her arm.
+
+"Ouch!" Lily cried. She felt a sharp pain in her finger. She looked and saw a drop of blood. The flower had a thorn that pricked her. Lily was scared and sad. She ran to mom and showed her the wound.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. That flower is a rose. It is very pretty, but it also has thorns that can hurt you. You have to be careful when you touch it. Let me clean your finger and put a band-aid on it."
+
+Lily nodded and sniffed. She looked at the rose and felt angry. She said, "I don't like the rose. It is mean and bad. I want to make it go away."
+
+Mom said, "No, Lily, you can't do that. The rose is not mean and bad. It is just a flower that has thorns to protect itself. It is part of the garden and it makes the garden beautiful. You can't destroy it because you are hurt. That is not right."
+
+Lily did not listen to mom. She waited until mom was busy and went back to the garden. She took a big stick and hit the rose. She broke the stem and the petals. She threw the rose on the ground and stomped on it. She felt happy and proud.
+
+But then, she heard a voice. It was the gardener. He saw what Lily did and he was very angry. He said, "What have you done, Lily? You have ruined the rose. It was a special rose that I planted for your mom. It was a gift for her birthday. It took a long time to grow and bloom. And you have destroyed it. How could you be so cruel and selfish?"
+
+Lily was shocked and ashamed. She realized that she had done a bad thing. She had hurt the rose and the gardener and mom. She had not been careful or kind. She had not listened to mom. She wished she could undo what she did, but it was too late. The rose was gone and could not come back. Lily started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't let your anger make you do things that you will regret. Be respectful of nature and other people's feelings. Listen to your mom and learn from your mistakes.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. There is a big oak tree in the park. The oak tree has many leaves and acorns.
+
+One day, Tim and Sam find a big acorn under the oak tree. It is heavy and brown. Tim says, "Look, Sam, I found a big acorn. Let's set it on the bench and see what it does."
+
+Sam says, "OK, Tim, let's do that. Maybe it will grow into a new oak tree."
+
+They set the big acorn on the bench. They sit next to it and wait. They wait for a long time. Nothing happens.
+
+Tim says, "Sam, I think the acorn is not growing. Maybe it needs water and sun."
+
+Sam says, "You are right, Tim. Let's take it home and plant it in our garden. Maybe then it will grow into a new oak tree."
+
+They pick up the big acorn and carry it home. It is heavy and hard. They dig a hole in the garden and put the acorn in it. They cover it with dirt and water it. They hope it will grow into a new oak tree.
+Lily liked to play with her doll. Her doll had long hair that she could twist and braid. She also had a pretty dress and soft skin. Lily loved her doll very much and took her everywhere.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and her doll. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She asked her mom to hold her doll while she went up the stairs. Her mom said yes and smiled. She was a reliable mom who always kept her promises.
+
+Lily slid down the slide and felt the wind in her hair. She was happy and proud. She ran back to her mom and reached for her doll. But her mom looked sad and sorry. She said, "I'm so sorry, Lily. A big dog came and took your doll. He ran away with her in his mouth. I tried to stop him, but he was too fast."
+
+Lily felt a big pain in her heart. She cried and cried. She wanted her doll back. She wanted to twist her hair and touch her skin. She wanted to hug her and say, "I love you." She was angry and sad. She said, "Bad dog! Bad dog! Give me back my doll!"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm so sorry, Lily. I know how much you love your doll. Maybe we can find another one like her. Or maybe we can make a new one together. I love you, Lily. You are my doll."
+
+Lily looked at her mom and saw her eyes were wet. She felt sorry for her mom too. She said, "I love you, mom. You are my reliable mom. You always try to make me happy. But I still miss my doll."
+
+Her mom said, "I know, Lily. I miss her too. Maybe the dog will drop her somewhere and someone will find her. Maybe we will see her again someday. But for now, let's go home and have some cookies. Maybe that will make us feel better."
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She held her mom's hand and walked with her. She hoped the dog would be nice to her doll and not hurt her. She hoped her doll would remember her and not be scared. She hoped she would see her again someday. She hoped for a happy ending.
+Lily liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a cool soldier. He had a green hat, a big gun, and a shiny medal. Lily liked to make him fight with other toys and win. She did not like to share her soldier with anyone.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought her cool soldier with her. She saw a boy who had a red car. She wanted to play with the car, but the boy said no. Lily got angry and grabbed the car. The boy cried and told his mom.
+
+Lily's mom saw what happened and was not happy. She told Lily to give back the car and say sorry. Lily did not want to. She said, "I want the car and the soldier. They are mine. I own them." Lily's mom said, "That is not nice, Lily. You cannot take things that belong to others. How would you feel if someone took your soldier?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered how much she loved her soldier and how sad she would be if he was gone. She realized she was wrong. She gave back the car to the boy and said sorry. She also offered to let him play with her soldier. The boy smiled and said thank you. He said, "Your soldier is cool. Can we be friends?" Lily nodded and said yes. They played together and had fun.
+
+Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that sharing is better than owning. She learned that being kind and generous makes others happy and makes her happy too. She learned that toys are more fun when you play with friends. She was glad she had her cool soldier and a new friend.
+Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many things that they liked. They saw birds, flowers, swings, and slides. They also saw a vendor who sold ice cream. The vendor had many colors of ice cream in his cart.
+
+"Mom, can we have ice cream?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can choose one color each," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the vendor. They admired all the colors of ice cream. Lily chose pink ice cream. Ben chose blue ice cream. The vendor smiled and gave them their ice cream.
+
+"Thank you, vendor!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+They licked their ice cream happily. They walked back to mom. But on the way, Ben tripped and dropped his ice cream. His ice cream fell on the ground. Ben felt sad and ashamed. He started to cry.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, I'm sorry," mom said. She hugged him and wiped his tears.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. You can have some of mine," Lily said. She broke her ice cream in half and gave one half to Ben.
+
+"Really? Thank you, Lily. You are very nice," Ben said. He smiled and took the ice cream.
+
+Lily and Ben shared their ice cream. They were not ashamed anymore. They were happy and proud. Mom was proud of them too. She kissed them and said, "You are very good children. I love you both."
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many flowers and trees. They liked to smell the flowers, climb the trees, and chase the butterflies. They were happy when spring came, because everything was colorful and warm.
+
+One day, they saw a new flower in the yard. It was big and yellow, with a red center. They ran to see it, but they stopped when they heard a loud buzz. A big bee was flying around the flower, and it looked angry.
+
+"Go away, bee!" Lily said. "We want to see the flower!"
+
+The bee did not listen. It flew closer to Lily and Ben, and made a louder buzz. Lily and Ben were scared, and they ran away. They hid behind a tree, and watched the bee.
+
+"Why is the bee so mean?" Ben asked. "We did not do anything bad."
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe the bee likes the flower too much, and does not want to share."
+
+They frowned, and felt sad. They wanted to see the flower, but they did not want to make the bee mad.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was their mom, who came out of the house. She saw the flower, and smiled.
+
+"Wow, what a beautiful sunflower!" she said. "It must have grown from the seeds we planted last year. Do you want to see it, Lily and Ben?"
+
+Lily and Ben came out of their hiding place, and nodded. They followed their mom to the flower, but they stayed away from the bee.
+
+"Look, the bee is not mean," their mom said. "It is just doing its job. It is pollinating the flower, which means it is helping it make more seeds. The bee and the flower are friends, just like you and Ben."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the bee, and saw that it was not angry. It was just busy, moving from one part of the flower to another. It did not mind them, as long as they did not touch it.
+
+"Oh, I see," Lily said. "The bee is nice, after all."
+
+"Yes, it is," Ben said. "And the flower is pretty, too."
+
+They smiled, and felt happy. They thanked their mom, and gave her a hug. They learned something new, and made a new friend. They liked spring, because it was colorful and fun.
+Lily liked to sign with her hands. She learned to sign from her mom, who was deaf. Lily could hear, but she wanted to talk to her mom and other deaf people. She thought signing was fun and beautiful.
+
+One day, Lily went to church with her mom. They sat in the front, where they could see the pastor. The pastor talked a lot, but he did not sign. Lily saw some deaf people in the back, who looked bored and sad. They could not hear the pastor or understand his words.
+
+Lily had an idea. She asked her mom if she could sign for the deaf people. Her mom said yes, and smiled. Lily stood up and walked to the back. She signed everything the pastor said, as best as she could. The deaf people were surprised and happy. They watched Lily and nodded. They learned about God and his love.
+
+The pastor saw Lily signing and stopped talking. He thanked her for being helpful and kind. He said she was a good example of how to share God's gift. He asked everyone to clap for Lily. Lily felt shy, but also proud. She hugged her mom and the deaf people. She was glad she could sign.
+Anna was very scared. She had to go to the hospital for an operation. She did not like the hospital. It was big and noisy and smelled funny. She did not want to leave her mom and dad.
+
+"Don't worry, Anna," her mom said. "The doctor is very nice and he will help you feel better. He will give you some medicine to make you sleep and then he will fix your ear. When you wake up, you will hear much better."
+
+Anna nodded, but she still felt scared. She hugged her teddy bear and looked at her dad.
+
+"Can I take Teddy with me?" she asked.
+
+"Of course you can," her dad said. "Teddy will be with you all the time. He will encourage you and keep you company. He is very brave and strong, just like you."
+
+Anna smiled a little. She liked Teddy. He was her best friend. She hoped he was right.
+
+They arrived at the hospital and met the doctor. He was wearing a white coat and a blue mask. He smiled at Anna and said hello.
+
+"Hi, Anna. I'm Dr. Lee. I'm going to do your operation today. Are you ready?"
+
+Anna nodded, but she felt shy. She held Teddy tighter.
+
+"Who is this?" Dr. Lee asked, pointing at Teddy.
+
+"This is Teddy," Anna said. "He is my best friend. He is coming with me."
+
+"That's wonderful," Dr. Lee said. "Teddy is very welcome. He can help me with the operation. He can be my assistant. Do you think he can do that?"
+
+Anna looked at Teddy. He nodded.
+
+"Yes, he can," Anna said. "He is very smart and helpful. He can do anything."
+
+Dr. Lee smiled again.
+
+"That's great. Then let's go. I have a special bed for you and Teddy. It is very comfortable and warm. And I have a surprise for you. Do you like surprises?"
+
+Anna nodded again. She liked surprises.
+
+"What is it?" she asked.
+
+Dr. Lee winked at her.
+
+"You'll see. It's something very rich and yummy. But you have to wait until after the operation. Can you do that?"
+
+Anna nodded once more. She was curious.
+
+"OK, then. Let's go. Mom and dad will be waiting for you when you wake up. And I'll be there too. Don't be scared, Anna. You are very brave and strong, just like Teddy. And I'll take good care of you. Are you ready?"
+
+Anna took a deep breath. She looked at her mom and dad. They smiled and kissed her.
+
+"We love you, Anna. You'll be fine. We'll see you soon."
+
+Anna looked at Teddy. He smiled and winked at her.
+
+"We can do this, Anna. We are a team. We'll see you soon."
+
+Anna looked at Dr. Lee. He smiled and held her hand.
+
+"Let's go, Anna. Let's go, Teddy. Let's have some fun."
+
+Anna smiled back. She felt a little less scared. She felt a little more excited. She wondered what the surprise was. She hoped it was chocolate. She loved chocolate. She closed her eyes and followed Dr. Lee. She was ready.
+Lila and Ben like to play outside in the snow. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+One day, they find a big red tie in the snow. They wonder who left it there. They think it is a useful thing. They can use it for many games.
+
+They use the tie to make a scarf for their snowman. They use the tie to make a belt for their snow fort. They use the tie to make a flag for their snowball fight.
+
+But then, they hear a loud voice. It is Mr. Jones, the man who lives next door. He is angry and cold. He says, "That is my tie! You took it from my coat! Give it back to me!"
+
+Lila and Ben are scared. They do not want to make Mr. Jones more angry. They freeze and do not move. They do not know what to say.
+
+But then, they see a big smile on Mr. Jones' face. He is not angry. He is joking. He says, "I am sorry. I did not mean to scare you. You can keep the tie. It looks better on your snowman than on me."
+
+Lila and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mr. Jones. You are very nice. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Mr. Jones says, "Yes, I do. But first, let me get my hat and gloves. It is very cold outside."
+
+They all go inside and get warm. Then, they go outside and play in the snow. They use the tie for many more games. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+On Tuesday, Lily and Max went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They also liked to see the birds, the squirrels and the flowers.
+
+But today, they heard a mysterious sound. It was like a roar, but softer and deeper. It came from behind the big trees. Lily and Max looked at each other. They were curious and a little scared.
+
+"Mom, what is that sound?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, sweetie. Maybe it's a big animal. Do you want to go and see?" Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded, but Max shook his head. He wanted to stay on the swing. Mom took Lily's hand and they walked slowly towards the trees. The sound got louder and louder.
+
+They reached the edge of the trees and peeked behind them. They saw a big, brown, furry thing. It had a long nose, big ears and small eyes. It was eating some grass. It looked at them and made the sound again.
+
+"It's a bear!" Lily whispered.
+
+"A bear?" Mom said. "Wow, you're right. It's a bear. But don't worry, it's a friendly bear. It lives in the zoo and sometimes it comes to the park for a snack. See, it has a collar with a tag. It says 'Bob'. That's his name."
+
+"Hi, Bob!" Lily said. She waved at the bear. The bear waved back with his paw. He smiled and made the sound again. It sounded like a hello.
+
+Lily and Mom smiled too. They were happy to meet Bob. They said goodbye to him and went back to Max. They told him about the bear. Max was amazed. He wished he had seen Bob too.
+
+They decided to come back to the park on another Tuesday. Maybe they would hear the mysterious sound again. Maybe they would see Bob again. They liked Bob. He was a nice bear.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big jar full of colorful balls in the closet. They both wanted to play with the jar, but they did not want to share.
+
+"Give me the jar!" Ben said, grabbing the jar from Lily.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said, pulling the jar back.
+
+They both pulled and pulled, but the jar was too heavy. It slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. The lid popped off and the balls rolled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+They looked at the mess and felt sorry. They realized they had been selfish and silly. They decided to share the jar and the balls.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. I should have shared with you," Ben said.
+
+"Sorry, Ben. I should have shared with you, too," Lily said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They picked up the balls and put them back in the jar. Then they took turns playing with the jar and the balls. They had more fun when they shared.
+Lily liked to play dancer. She had a pink dress and a shiny crown. She danced in her room and pretended she was a princess. She was happy.
+
+One day, her big brother Tom came to her room. He was grumpy. He did not like to play dancer. He liked to play cars and robots. He saw Lily's dress and crown. He said they were silly. He took them from Lily and threw them on the floor. He laughed.
+
+Lily was sad. She cried. She wanted her dress and crown back. She tried to get them, but Tom was bigger and stronger. He pushed her away. He said she was a baby. He said he would not give them back.
+
+Lily ran to her mom. She told her what Tom did. She hoped her mom would help her. But her mom was busy. She had a lot of work to do. She said she did not have time for Lily's games. She said Lily should play with Tom and share her toys. She said Lily should not be a crybaby.
+
+Lily felt alone. She did not have her dress and crown. She did not have her mom. She did not have anyone to play dancer with. She was not happy. She was grumpy.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hole in the ground. It looked dark and scary.
+
+"Let's go inside the hole," Ben said. "It is an underground adventure."
+
+Lila was afraid. She did not want to go inside the hole. She thought there might be bugs or snakes or monsters.
+
+"No, Ben, I don't want to go," Lila said. "It is too dark and scary. Let's play on the swings instead."
+
+Ben laughed. He thought Lila was a baby. He wanted to show her he was brave.
+
+"Don't be a baby, Lila," Ben said. "I dare you to go inside the hole with me. If you don't, you are a chicken."
+
+Lila did not like being called a baby or a chicken. She wanted to show Ben she was brave too. She nodded and followed Ben inside the hole.
+
+They walked and walked in the dark. They could not see anything. They heard strange noises. They felt cold and wet.
+
+"Ben, I don't like this," Lila said. "Let's go back."
+
+Ben did not answer. He was lost. He did not know how to go back. He was scared too.
+
+They walked and walked in the dark. They could not find the way out. They started to cry.
+
+They did not know that the hole was an old well. It was very deep and high. Nobody could hear them or see them. Nobody could help them.
+
+They were stuck in the underground hole forever.
+Sara liked to sing and play the drum. She was gifted. She could make nice sounds with her voice and her drum. She had a band with her friends. They liked to sing and play together.
+
+One day, Sara's dad gave her a record. It was a machine that could save sounds. Sara was happy. She wanted to record her band. She asked her friends to come to her house. They brought their instruments.
+
+Sara turned on the record. She said, "Let's sing and play our best song. The record will save it for us." Her friends nodded. They started to sing and play. Sara sang and played the drum.
+
+But Sara did not listen to her friends. She sang and played very loud. She wanted to hear herself more than her friends. She did not share the record. She did not let her friends hear their sounds.
+
+Her friends were sad. They did not like to sing and play with Sara. They said, "Sara, you are not nice. You are selfish. You do not care about us. You only care about yourself. We do not want to be in your band anymore." They took their instruments and left.
+
+Sara was alone. She looked at the record. She played the sounds. She heard herself. She did not hear her friends. She realized she made a mistake. She felt sorry. She wished she listened to her friends. She wished she shared the record. She wished she was nice.
+
+She learned a lesson. She learned that being gifted is not enough. She learned that being nice and caring is more important. She learned that singing and playing with friends is more fun than singing and playing alone. She hoped her friends would forgive her. She hoped they would be in her band again. She hoped they would sing and play together.
+Tim and Jen liked to play in the kitchen when Mom was busy. They found a big bottle of juice on the shelf and wanted to drink some. Tim tried to reach the bottle, but it was too high. He asked Jen to help him.
+
+"Jen, can you get the juice for me?" he said.
+
+"OK, Tim. I will climb on the chair and get it," she said.
+
+Jen climbed on the chair and grabbed the bottle. But the bottle was too heavy for her. She lost her balance and dropped the bottle. The bottle broke on the floor and juice poured everywhere. The juice was sticky and red. It made the floor and the chair filthy.
+
+"Oh no! Look what we did!" Tim said.
+
+"Mom will be so mad!" Jen said.
+
+They heard Mom coming from the other room. They tried to hide behind the table, but it was too late. Mom saw the mess and was very angry.
+
+"Tim and Jen, what have you done? You made a big mess and wasted the juice! And you could have hurt yourselves with the glass! How many times have I told you not to touch the things on the shelf?" she said.
+
+Tim and Jen felt sorry and scared. They said they were sorry and promised not to do it again. Mom made them clean up the mess and gave them a time out. They learned their lesson and never played with the juice again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But the sky was dark and soon it started to rain. Lily and Ben did not like the rain. It was cold and wet and made them sad.
+
+"Let's go home," Lily said. "I don't want to play in the rain."
+
+"But I want to play more," Ben said. "The rain is fun. Look, I can splash in the puddles."
+
+Ben ran to a big puddle and jumped in it. He laughed and made a big splash. Lily did not laugh. She saw a big umbrella near the bench. She ran to it and picked it up. She opened it and held it over her head.
+
+"Come on, Ben," Lily said. "We can use this umbrella. It will keep us dry."
+
+Ben did not listen. He saw another puddle and jumped in it. He did not see the dog that was running towards him. The dog was big and black and had a loud bark. It did not like Ben splashing in its puddle. It growled and chased Ben.
+
+"Stop, dog, stop!" Ben shouted. He was scared and ran away. But the dog was faster and caught up with him. It bit his leg and made him fall. Ben cried and felt a lot of pain.
+
+Lily heard Ben cry and saw the dog. She was brave and ran to help him. She waved the umbrella and shouted at the dog.
+
+"Stop, dog, stop! Leave Ben alone!"
+
+The dog was surprised and stopped biting Ben. It looked at Lily and saw the umbrella. It did not like the umbrella. It was big and bright and made a hard noise. It was afraid and ran away.
+
+Lily helped Ben get up and hugged him. She put the umbrella over both of them and said,
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?"
+
+Ben nodded and said,
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You saved me. You are a good sister."
+
+Lily smiled and said,
+
+"You are welcome, Ben. You are a good brother. But next time, listen to me. The rain is not fun. It is cold and wet and brings bad dogs."
+
+Ben agreed and said,
+
+"Okay, Lily. Next time, I will listen to you. Let's go home now."
+
+They held hands and walked home. They were happy and safe under the umbrella. The rain stopped and the sun came out. They saw a rainbow in the sky and smiled. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and to stick together. They learned that sometimes, Lily was right.
+Lily liked to play with makeup. She had many colors and brushes that she got from her mom. Her mom was wealthy and worked at a big store. She sold makeup to other people who wanted to look pretty.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to go to the store with her mom. She asked her mom if she could come. Her mom said yes, but she had to be good and not touch anything. Lily was happy and put on her favorite dress and shoes.
+
+They went to the store in a shiny car. Lily saw many things in the store. She saw clothes, toys, books, and candy. But she liked the makeup section the most. She saw many colors and brushes like hers, but also some that she did not have. She wanted to try them.
+
+She saw a pink lipstick that looked very nice. She reached for it, but her mom saw her and stopped her. She said, "No, Lily, you can't touch that. That is not yours. That is for the customers. You have to ask before you use something that is not yours."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not understand why she could not touch the lipstick. She thought it was unfair. She wanted to have it. She did not listen to her mom. She grabbed the lipstick and ran away. She hid behind a rack of clothes and opened the lipstick. She put it on her lips and smiled. She thought she looked pretty.
+
+But then she heard her mom calling her name. She sounded worried and angry. Lily felt scared and guilty. She knew she did something bad. She dropped the lipstick and ran to her mom. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was bad. I took the lipstick. I won't do it again."
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "I'm glad you are sorry, Lily. But you have to learn to respect other people's things. You can't just take what you want. You have to pay for it or ask for permission. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to pay for the lipstick. And you have to apologize to the store lady. And you have to wash your face. You have too much makeup on. You are already pretty without it."
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went to the church with their mom and dad. The church was big and had a tall tower. Ben and Mia wanted to see the tower, but their mom and dad said they had to stay in the hall and listen to the man who talked.
+
+Ben and Mia were bored. They did not like the man who talked. He used big words that they did not understand. They wanted to have fun. They saw a door that led to the tower. They looked at each other and smiled. They sneaked out of the hall and ran to the door.
+
+They opened the door and climbed the stairs. They saw many windows and bells. They heard the wind and the birds. They felt happy and free. They reached the top of the tower and looked at the sky. They saw the sun and the clouds. They saw the birds and the trees. They saw the people and the cars. They saw everything.
+
+They heard their mom and dad calling their names. They sounded angry and worried. Ben and Mia felt scared and guilty. They did not want to get in trouble. They ran down the stairs and back to the hall. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They looked mad and sad.
+
+"Where were you?" their mom asked. "We were looking for you everywhere. We were so scared. You could have fallen or gotten lost. You could have been hurt. Why did you leave the hall?"
+
+Ben and Mia did not know what to say. They did not want to tell the truth. They thought of a lie. They said, "We were in the bathroom. We had to go. We are sorry."
+
+Their mom and dad did not believe them. They knew they were lying. They saw the dirt on their clothes and the sweat on their faces. They saw the fear and the guilt in their eyes. They said, "Don't lie to us. We know you went to the tower. We saw you from the window. You were not in the bathroom. You were on the roof. You were very naughty. You broke the rules. You disobeyed us. You made us worry. You should be ashamed."
+
+Ben and Mia felt bad. They knew they were wrong. They knew they should not have lied. They said, "We are sorry. We wanted to see the tower. It was so big and mighty. It was so fun and pretty. We did not mean to hurt you. We did not mean to break the rules. We did not mean to disobey you. We love you. Please forgive us."
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them. They said, "We love you too. We forgive you. But you have to promise us that you will never lie to us again. You have to promise us that you will always listen to us and follow the rules. You have to promise us that you will be good and safe. Do you promise?"
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They said, "We promise. We will never lie to you again. We will always listen to you and follow the rules. We will be good and safe. We are sorry. We love you."
+
+Their mom and dad kissed them. They said, "We are glad. We love you too. Now let's go home and have some cookies. But first, let's say sorry to the man who talked. He is the pastor. He is a nice man. He teaches us about God. He is mighty too. He deserves our respect. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They said, "We understand. We will say sorry to the pastor. He is a nice man. He teaches us about God. He is mighty too. He deserves our respect. We are sorry. We love you."
+
+They went to the pastor and said sorry. The pastor smiled and forgave them. He said, "God loves you and forgives you too. He is the mightiest of all. He sees everything. He knows everything. He hears everything. He wants you to be honest and obedient. He wants you to be happy and safe. He wants you to love him and love others. Do you believe?"
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They said, "We believe. God loves us and forgives us too. He is the mightiest of all. He sees everything. He knows everything. He hears everything. He wants us to be honest and obedient. He wants us to be happy and safe. He wants us to love him and love others. We are sorry. We love him. We love you."
+
+They went home with their mom and dad. They had some cookies and milk. They played and laughed. They prayed and thanked. They learned and grew. They were happy and safe. They were honest and obedient. They loved God and loved others. They never lied again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a path that went into the woods. They wanted to see what was there.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find some animals or flowers."
+
+"OK, Ben. But we have to be careful. Mommy said the woods can be scary." Lily said.
+
+They held hands and walked on the path. They saw some birds and squirrels and bugs. They heard some noises and rustles. They were curious and brave.
+
+They came to a big bush. They heard a loud roar behind it. They were scared and stopped.
+
+"What is that, Ben?" Lily whispered.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it's a fierce animal. Like a lion or a bear." Ben whispered back.
+
+They wanted to run away, but they also wanted to see what it was. They decided to peek behind the bush. They moved slowly and quietly. They looked over the bush.
+
+They saw a big dog. It was not a lion or a bear. It was a friendly dog. It was wagging its tail and licking its nose. It was not roaring. It was barking.
+
+"Hi, doggy!" Lily said. "You are not fierce. You are cute."
+
+The dog came to them and licked their faces. They laughed and petted the dog. They were not scared anymore. They were happy.
+
+They played with the dog for a while. Then they heard Mommy calling them.
+
+"Lily! Ben! Time to go home!" Mommy said.
+
+They said goodbye to the dog and ran to Mommy. They told her about their adventure.
+
+"We found a path in the woods. We heard a roar. We peeked behind a bush. We saw a dog. It was not fierce. It was friendly. We played with it." They said.
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged them.
+
+"That sounds like a fun story. I'm glad you had a good time. But next time, don't go too far into the woods. And always stay together." Mommy said.
+
+They nodded and agreed. They went home with Mommy. They were tired and hungry. They had a snack and a nap. They dreamed of the dog and the path and the woods. They were happy.
+Anna liked to help her mom make salad. She washed the green leaves and the red tomatoes. She tore the leaves into small pieces. She cut the tomatoes with a knife. Mom said, "Be careful with the knife, Anna. Mind your fingers."
+
+Anna nodded. She liked to be careful. She put the tomatoes in a big bowl with the leaves. She added some cheese and some dressing. She mixed everything with a spoon. The salad looked yummy.
+
+Mom said, "Good job, Anna. You made a nice salad. Let's go to the table and eat." Anna smiled. She carried the bowl to the table. She saw her dad and her brother waiting. They looked hungry.
+
+Dad said, "Wow, Anna, you made salad? That's awesome. Thank you." Anna felt proud. She gave dad a hug. She said, "You're welcome, dad. I hope you like it."
+
+Brother said, "I don't like salad. I want pizza." He made a face. He pushed the bowl away. He said, "Salad is yucky." He was very noisy.
+
+Anna felt sad. She liked salad. She worked hard to make it. She said, "Salad is not yucky. Salad is good. You should try it." She was very quiet.
+
+Mom said, "Brother, don't be rude. Anna made salad for us. You should say thank you. And you should try it. Maybe you will like it." She was very calm.
+
+Dad said, "Yes, brother, be nice. Anna is nice. Salad is nice. Pizza is nice too, but we don't have pizza today. We have salad. And we have bread and chicken. And we have cake for dessert. You like cake, right?" He was very cheerful.
+
+Brother said, "I like cake. But I don't like salad." He was very stubborn.
+
+Anna said, "Please, brother, try salad. Just one bite. For me. Please." She was very sweet.
+
+Brother looked at Anna. He looked at the salad. He looked at the cake. He sighed. He said, "Okay, Anna, I will try salad. Just one bite. For you. But I still want cake." He was very grumpy.
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "Thank you, brother. You are nice too. And you can have cake. But first, try salad." She was very happy.
+
+Brother took a bite of salad. He chewed. He swallowed. He said, "Hmm, salad is not so bad. Salad is okay. Salad is good with cheese and dressing. And with bread and chicken. And with cake." He was very surprised.
+
+Anna clapped. She said, "Yay, brother, you like salad. I'm glad. Salad is good for you. And so is cake. But not too much cake. Just a little cake." She was very wise.
+
+Mom and dad smiled. They said, "We're proud of you, Anna and brother. You made and tried salad. You were kind and brave. You are good children. We love you." They were very loving.
+
+Anna and brother hugged mom and dad. They said, "We love you too, mom and dad. You are good parents. You make us happy." They were very grateful.
+
+They ate the salad and the bread and the chicken. And they ate a little cake. They were very full. And they were very happy. The end.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for insects under the rocks and in the grass. They found ants, beetles, spiders and worms. They put them in a jar with some leaves and water.
+
+"Look, this one is very small and shiny!" Lila said, pointing to a green insect with wings.
+
+"Wow, it is pretty! Can I hold it?" Ben asked.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. It is very fragile. You have to promise not to hurt it or let it fly away." Lila said.
+
+"I promise, I promise!" Ben said. He took the insect gently in his hand and looked at it closely. It tickled his palm and he giggled.
+
+Suddenly, they heard their mom calling them from the house.
+
+"Kids, it's time for lunch! Come inside and wash your hands!"
+
+"Okay, mom, we're coming!" Lila and Ben shouted.
+
+They ran to the house, but Ben forgot to put the insect back in the jar. He still had it in his hand.
+
+"Ben, what do you have there?" Mom asked, seeing the green insect.
+
+"It's a small and shiny insect. We found it in the garden. It's very pretty." Ben said.
+
+"It is, but you can't keep it. It belongs to the garden. It needs to be free and find its friends and food. You have to let it go." Mom said.
+
+"But I promised Lila not to let it fly away." Ben said.
+
+"You can keep your promise and let it go. You can tell Lila that you did the right thing. She will understand. Come on, let's go back to the garden and say goodbye to the insect." Mom said.
+
+Ben nodded. He felt sad, but he knew Mom was right. He followed her to the garden and opened his hand. The insect flew away and landed on a flower.
+
+"Bye, bye, insect. Thank you for being my friend for a little while." Ben said.
+
+He waved to the insect and smiled. He hoped it would be happy and safe. He ran to Lila and told her what happened. She hugged him and said he was a good brother. They went inside and had lunch. They still liked to look for insects, but they always let them go. They promised.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play and have fun. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Let's go down the slide together!" Sam says.
+
+"OK!" Mia says.
+
+They climb up the ladder and sit on the slide. They hold hands and smile. They are ready to go.
+
+But then, they smell something spicy. It is coming from a food truck near the slide. It has a picture of a red pepper on it.
+
+"What is that?" Mia asks.
+
+"It is hot food. My mom says it is from another world. She says it makes your mouth burn," Sam says.
+
+"I want to try it!" Mia says.
+
+"No, you don't. It is too spicy for you. You will not like it," Sam says.
+
+But Mia does not listen. She lets go of Sam's hand and jumps off the slide. She runs to the food truck. She sees a man with a big hat and a big smile. He is holding a plate of hot food.
+
+"Hello, little girl. Do you want some of my spicy food?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, please!" Mia says.
+
+The man gives her a small piece of food. Mia puts it in her mouth. She chews and swallows.
+
+Then, she feels something strange. Her mouth feels hot and sore. Her eyes feel wet and stingy. Her nose feels runny and tickly. She does not like it at all.
+
+She spits out the food and cries. She runs back to Sam and her mom. She hugs them and says she is sorry.
+
+"It is OK, Mia. You were curious. But now you know. Spicy food is not for you," her mom says.
+
+Sam gives her a glass of water and a hug. He says he is still her friend.
+
+They go back to the slide and have fun. They do not want any more spicy food. They are happy with their own world.
+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 old buttons. They put them in a bucket and showed them to Mom.
+
+One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It was near the fence, where the water went when it rained. They ran to the hole and looked inside. It was dark and wet. They heard a funny noise.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's find out," Ben said.
+
+They got a flashlight from the shed and shone it into the hole. They saw a metal pipe with holes in it. It was the drain. The noise was coming from inside the pipe. It sounded like a squeak.
+
+"Maybe there is an animal in there," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it is a mouse or a rat," Ben said.
+
+They wanted to see the animal. They got a stick and poked it into the pipe. The noise got louder and angrier. Suddenly, a small, furry creature jumped out of the pipe and ran away. It was a hedgehog.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily said.
+
+"It has spikes on its back," Ben said.
+
+They followed the hedgehog with their flashlight. It ran to a pile of leaves and twigs. It crawled under it and disappeared.
+
+"It made a home there," Lily said.
+
+"It is clever and useful," Ben said.
+
+They decided to leave the hedgehog alone. They went back to their bucket and looked at their treasures. They were happy with what they had discovered. They told Mom about the drain and the hedgehog. Mom was proud of them. She gave them a hug and a cookie.
+Ben was a small boy who did not like to eat his medicine. His mom said he had to eat it every day to make him strong and healthy, but Ben thought it was yucky and bitter. He would hide it under his pillow, or spit it out in the trash, or give it to his dog. He thought his mom would not find out, but she always did.
+
+One day, his mom said, "Ben, I have a surprise for you. We are going to the park today, and you can play with your friends and ride the swings and the slide. But first, you have to eat your medicine, okay?"
+
+Ben nodded, but he had a plan. He took the medicine from his mom, but he did not swallow it. He kept it in his mouth, and waited for his mom to turn around. Then he ran to the bathroom, and threw the medicine in the toilet. He flushed it, and smiled. He thought he was very clever.
+
+But his mom was clever too. She had seen him run to the bathroom, and she followed him. She opened the door, and saw the empty medicine bottle on the sink, and the water swirling in the toilet. She was very angry.
+
+"Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "Did you eat your medicine, or did you throw it away?"
+
+Ben tried to lie, but he could not. He looked down, and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I threw it away. I don't like it. It's yucky."
+
+His mom sighed, and said, "Ben, you know you have to eat your medicine. It's good for you. It helps you fight the germs and the sick. If you don't eat it, you will get worse, and you will have to go to the doctor, and he will give you a big shot. Do you want that?"
+
+Ben shook his head, and said, "No, mom. I don't want a big shot. I'm scared of big shots."
+
+His mom said, "Then you have to eat your medicine, Ben. And because you threw it away, you have to eat two spoons today. And you can't go to the park. That's your punishment. Maybe next time, you will listen to me, and do what I say."
+
+Ben cried, and said, "No, mom. Please, mom. I want to go to the park. I want to play with my friends. I'm sorry, mom. Please, mom."
+
+But his mom did not change her mind. She said, "No, Ben. You have to learn your lesson. Now, open your mouth, and eat your medicine. And no more tricks, or you will get a bigger punishment."
+
+Ben had no choice. He opened his mouth, and ate his medicine. He made a face, and said, "Ew, mom. It's yucky."
+
+His mom said, "I know, Ben. But it's good for you. And maybe next time, you will eat it without making a fuss, and then you can go to the park, and have fun. Okay?"
+
+Ben nodded, and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry, mom. I love you, mom."
+
+His mom hugged him, and said, "I love you too, Ben. And I want you to be well. Now, go to your room, and play with your toys. And tomorrow, we will try again."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with paints. They have red, blue, yellow and white paints. They can make different colors by mixing them.
+
+One day, they want to paint a big picture of a rainbow. They need many colors for the rainbow. They start to mix the paints on a big paper.
+
+"Look, I made purple!" Lily says. She mixes red and blue. She paints a stripe on the paper.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty!" Ben says. He mixes yellow and blue. He makes green. He paints another stripe on the paper.
+
+They mix and paint more colors. They make orange, pink, brown and gray. They are happy. They work together.
+
+They finish the rainbow. They look at it. It is bright and beautiful. They smile.
+
+"We made a nice rainbow!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, we did!" Ben says. "It is a sign of peace."
+
+They hug each other. They are peaceful friends.
+
+They hear a knock on the door. It is Lily's mom. She comes in. She sees the rainbow.
+
+"What a lovely picture!" she says. "You are very creative!"
+
+She looks at the paints. They are open. They are messy. They are everywhere.
+
+"Oh, dear!" she says. "You need to clean up!"
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They are not happy. They do not like to clean up.
+
+They sigh. They put the paints away. They wipe the paper. They wash their hands.
+
+They clean up. They are good children.
+
+They show their rainbow to Lily's mom. She is proud of them.
+
+She gives them a hug. She gives them a cookie. She says they can play again.
+
+They are happy. They eat the cookie. They thank Lily's mom.
+
+They go to play. They are open to new ideas.
+
+They are friends. They are peaceful. They are creative.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys and eat rice. One day, they have a big bowl of rice for lunch. Mom says, "Share the rice, boys. There is enough for both of you."
+
+Ben and Sam nod. They each take a spoon and start to eat. But soon, they want more rice. They both reach for the bowl at the same time. They pull and tug. The bowl is not strong. It splits in two. The rice falls on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben and Sam say. They look at the broken bowl and the spilled rice. They feel sad and sorry. Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees the mess and the boys' faces.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks. She is not happy.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We wanted more rice. We did not share. The bowl split. The rice is gone." Ben and Sam say.
+
+Mom sighs. She picks up the pieces of the bowl and the rice. She says, "Boys, you need to learn to share. Sharing is caring. There is always enough rice for everyone. But you cannot eat rice from the floor. It is dirty and bad. You need to wait for me to make more rice. And you need to help me clean up this mess."
+
+Ben and Sam nod. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will share. We will help. We will wait for more rice."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That's good, boys. I love you. Now, let's go to the kitchen and make some more rice. And maybe some cookies too."
+
+Ben and Sam smile. They hug Mom. They say, "We love you too, Mom. Thank you for the rice and the cookies."
+
+They go to the kitchen and help Mom. They learn to share and be happy. They eat the rice and the cookies. They are full and glad. They play with their toys and have fun. They are good brothers. The end.
+Leo was a little leopard who loved to play in the jungle. He liked to climb trees, chase butterflies and splash in the river. But he did not like to clean his fur or his teeth. He always had leaves, mud and bugs stuck to him. He was a very messy leopard.
+
+One day, his mother said to him, "Leo, you need to take a bath and brush your teeth. You are too dirty and smelly. You will scare away your friends and make yourself sick."
+
+"But, Mom, I don't want to," Leo whined. "I like being messy. It's fun and easy. Cleaning is boring and hard."
+
+"Leo, please listen to me," his mother said. "Being messy is not good for you. You need to be clean and healthy. And you need to respect yourself and others. How would you feel if your friends were messy and dirty?"
+
+Leo thought for a moment. He remembered how he felt when he saw a monkey with a banana peel on his head, or a bird with a worm in his beak, or a snake with a twig in his tail. He felt sorry for them and wanted to help them. He realized that his mother was right. He did not want to be messy and dirty. He wanted to be clean and neat.
+
+"OK, Mom, you win," Leo said. "I will take a bath and brush my teeth. But can I request something?"
+
+"What is it, Leo?" his mother asked.
+
+"Can I play in the jungle again after I'm clean?" Leo asked.
+
+"Of course, Leo," his mother said. "But only if you promise to clean yourself again before bedtime."
+
+"I promise, Mom," Leo said. "Thank you for caring about me."
+
+Leo hugged his mother and followed her to the river. He washed his fur and brushed his teeth. He felt fresh and happy. He thanked his mother again and ran off to play in the jungle. He was still a little leopard who loved to play, but he was also a clean and respectful leopard who listened to his mother.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big boot on the grass. It is brown and dirty.
+
+"Who left this boot here?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe a giant," Tom says.
+
+They go closer to the boot. They want to see inside. Lily puts her hand in the boot. She feels something soft and furry.
+
+"Ow!" Lily says. She pulls out her hand. She has a scratch on her finger. A small mouse comes out of the boot. It squeaks and runs away.
+
+"Are you okay?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, I am okay. But that mouse scared me," Lily says.
+
+They decide to leave the boot alone. They go to the swings and the slide. They have fun. They complete their play time. They go home with their moms. They say goodbye to each other.
+
+"See you tomorrow, Lily," Tom says.
+
+"See you tomorrow, Tom," Lily says.
+Lily liked to draw with her pencils. She had many pencils of different colors. She liked to match the colors of her pencils with the things she saw. She drew a yellow sun, a green tree, a blue sky, and a red flower.
+
+One day, she wanted to draw a purple butterfly. But she could not find her purple pencil. She looked in her box, under her bed, and behind her chair. She asked her mom, "Mom, where is my purple pencil?"
+
+Her mom said, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe you left it at school or at grandma's house. Why don't you use another color?"
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want to use another color. She wanted to match the butterfly with her purple pencil. She said, "No, mom. I want my purple pencil. It is my favorite."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you love your purple pencil. Maybe we can find it later. Or maybe we can buy a new one. But for now, can you try to be grateful for the other pencils you have? They are also very nice and you can make beautiful drawings with them."
+
+Lily thought about what her mom said. She looked at her other pencils and saw that they were also very nice. She saw a pink pencil, a brown pencil, a white pencil, and a black pencil. She thought, maybe she could use them to make a different drawing. She said, "OK, mom. I will try to be grateful. I will use these pencils to draw a rainbow. A rainbow has many colors and it is very pretty."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That's a great idea, Lily. I'm sure your rainbow will be very pretty. And I'm proud of you for being grateful. Maybe you will find your purple pencil later. But for now, let's draw a rainbow together."
+
+Lily and her mom drew a rainbow together. They used all the colors of the pencils they had. They had fun and they were happy. Lily was grateful for her mom and for her pencils. She still missed her purple pencil, but she knew that it was not the only thing that mattered. She had many other things to be grateful for.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys of different shapes and colors. Lily liked to sort her toys by color. She had a red pile, a blue pile, a yellow pile and a green pile. Max liked to sort his toys by shape. He had a round pile, a square pile, a star pile and a triangle pile.
+
+"Look, Lily, I sorted my toys by shape. Do you want to play with me?" Max asked.
+
+"No, thank you, Max. I sorted my toys by color. I like color better than shape. Do you want to play with me?" Lily answered.
+
+"No, thank you, Lily. I like shape better than color. Let's play with our own toys," Max said.
+
+They played with their own toys for a while, but soon they got bored. They looked at each other's toys and wondered what they would look like if they mixed them up. They decided to swap some of their toys and see what would happen.
+
+Lily gave Max a red star and a yellow triangle. Max gave Lily a blue circle and a green square. They put the new toys in their piles and smiled. They liked the new colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, Max, I have a blue circle and a green square. They are different from my other toys. They are pretty," Lily said.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a red star and a yellow triangle. They are different from my other toys. They are cool," Max said.
+
+They swapped some more toys and made new piles. They had fun mixing and matching the colors and shapes.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom. She was baking a cake for their dad's birthday. She had a big bowl of batter and a whisk in her hand. She looked angry.
+
+"Kids, what are you doing? You made a mess with your toys. You have to sort them and wrap them up. We have to go to the store and buy some candles and frosting for the cake. Hurry up!" she shouted.
+
+Lily and Max were scared. They did not want to make their mom angry. They did not want to sort and wrap their toys. They liked them the way they were. They looked at each other and did not know what to do.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We were just playing. We like our toys. Can we keep them like this?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you can't. You have to sort them and wrap them up. You have to share your toys with each other. You have to be nice and polite. You have to listen to me. Now, do as I say!" mom said.
+
+Lily and Max were sad. They did not want to share their toys. They did not want to be nice and polite. They did not want to listen to mom. They wanted to play with their toys. They wanted to have fun.
+
+But they knew they had no choice. They had to sort and wrap their toys. They had to go to the store and buy some candles and frosting for the cake. They had to make their dad happy. They had to make their mom happy.
+
+They started to sort and wrap their toys. They put them in boxes and bags. They tied them with ribbons and bows. They said goodbye to their toys. They hoped they would see them again.
+
+They finished sorting and wrapping their toys. They put them in the car. They got in the car. They buckled their seat belts. They looked out the window. They saw the colors and shapes of the world. They wondered if they would ever play with their toys again. They were alert. They were quiet. They were sad.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a stream near their house. The stream had clear water and many fish. Tom and Lily wanted to catch some fish for fun.
+
+They found a net and a bucket and went to the stream. They threw the net into the water and pulled it out. They caught many fish and put them in the bucket. They were happy and wanted to catch more.
+
+But then they saw a man coming. The man was angry and shouted at them. He said the stream was his and the fish were his too. He said they were stealing his fish and hurting them. He said he would tell their mom and dad.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sorry. They did not know the stream and the fish belonged to the man. They did not want to hurt the fish or make the man sad. They said they were sorry and gave him back the bucket.
+
+The man saw that they were sorry and felt sorry for them too. He said he would not tell their mom and dad. He said he would teach them how to fish in a good way. He said they could fish with him sometimes, but only if they asked him first and let some fish go back to the stream.
+
+Tom and Lily were grateful and happy. They said thank you to the man and promised to be good. They learned that they should not take things that are not theirs and that they should respect other living things. They also made a new friend who liked to fish.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big cobweb on a bush. It was shiny and sticky.
+
+"Wow, look at the cobweb!" Lily said. "Do you think a spider lives there?"
+
+"Maybe," Ben said. "Let's go closer and see."
+
+They walked to the bush and peered at the cobweb. They saw a small spider in the middle. It had eight legs and two eyes. It was brown and furry.
+
+"Hello, spider," Lily said. "Are you friendly?"
+
+The spider did not answer. It moved a little on the cobweb.
+
+"Maybe it can't talk," Ben said. "Or maybe it is shy."
+
+"Let's tell it a story," Lily said. "Maybe it will like that."
+
+"Okay," Ben said. "What story do you want to tell?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered a story that her mom had told her. It was about a princess and a dragon.
+
+"I want to tell the story of the princess and the dragon," she said. "Do you know it?"
+
+"Yes, I do," Ben said. "It is a good story."
+
+They took turns to tell the story to the spider. They used their hands and voices to make it exciting. They told how the princess was brave and smart, and how the dragon was kind and funny. They told how they became friends and had adventures.
+
+The spider listened to the story. It seemed to like it. It nodded and smiled. It even made some noises that sounded like laughter.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They had made a new friend. They decided to name the spider Bob. They said goodbye to Bob and promised to come back and tell more stories. Bob waved to them and thanked them. He was happy too. He had heard a wonderful story.
+Ben hates the classroom. He hates the chairs, the books, the teacher. He hates everything. He wants to go home and play with his toys.
+
+One day, he sees a big, hairy spider on the wall. He is scared. He screams and runs to the door. But the door is locked. He can't get out.
+
+"Ben, what's wrong?" the teacher asks. She comes to him and tries to calm him down. "It's just a spider. It won't hurt you."
+
+Ben points at the spider. "It's big and hairy and scary!" he cries. "I don't like it!"
+
+The teacher smiles. She picks up the spider gently and puts it in a jar. "Look, Ben, it's not so bad. It's just a little animal. It has eight legs and eyes and a mouth. It likes to make webs and catch flies. Do you want to see?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He doesn't want to see. He hates spiders. He hates the classroom. He hates everything. He wants to go home and play with his toys.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and laugh together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Can I go first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, but I have a joke for you," Ben says.
+
+"What is it?" Anna says.
+
+Ben whispers something in her ear. Anna giggles.
+
+"That is funny!" she says.
+
+They take turns sliding down the slide. They have a lot of fun.
+
+Then they see a man selling balloons. They are colorful and shiny. Anna and Ben want one.
+
+"Mom, can I have a balloon?" Anna asks.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says.
+
+Their moms look at the balloons. They are expensive. Five dollars for one balloon.
+
+"Sorry, kids, those balloons are too expensive. We can buy something else later," Anna's mom says.
+
+"But I really want one!" Anna says.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says.
+
+They are sad. They look at the balloons.
+
+Then Ben has an idea. He whispers something in Anna's ear. Anna smiles.
+
+"OK, let's do it!" she says.
+
+They run to the man with the balloons. They point at one balloon each.
+
+"Can we have these balloons, please?" they ask.
+
+The man nods. He gives them the balloons.
+
+"Thank you!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+They run back to their moms. They are happy. They hold their balloons.
+
+"Look, mom, we have balloons!" Anna says.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says.
+
+Their moms are surprised. They look at the balloons. They are not real balloons. They are made of paper. They have drawings of balloons on them.
+
+"Where did you get these?" Anna's mom asks.
+
+"From the man. He gave them to us for free," Anna says.
+
+"He said they are joke balloons. They are not expensive. They are funny," Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben laugh. They show their moms their joke balloons. Their moms laugh too.
+
+They are proud. They know a good joke. They have fun with their joke balloons. They are happy.
+Lily did not like the calendar on the wall. It had big numbers and pictures of things she did not know. She wanted to take it down and draw her own pictures, but Mommy said no. Mommy said the calendar was important and helped them remember things.
+
+One day, Lily saw a red circle on the calendar. She asked Mommy what it meant. Mommy said it was a special day, and they would go to the zoo and see the animals. Lily loved the zoo and the animals. She was very happy and excited. She wanted to go right now, but Mommy said they had to wait until the red circle day.
+
+Lily waited and waited. She counted the days on the calendar. She asked Mommy every morning if it was the red circle day. Mommy said no, not yet, soon. Lily was getting impatient and bored. She did not want to play with her toys or watch TV. She just wanted to go to the zoo.
+
+The night before the red circle day, Lily could not sleep. She was too excited. She imagined all the animals she would see and hear and touch. She thought of the lions and the monkeys and the elephants and the penguins. She hoped they would be friendly and funny and loud. She tossed and turned in her bed, and looked at the clock. It was very late, but she was not sleepy.
+
+She heard Mommy come into her room. Mommy looked tired and sad. She sat on Lily's bed and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily, but we can't go to the zoo tomorrow. The zoo is closed because of the sick. We have to stay home and be safe. Maybe we can go another day, when the sick is gone."
+
+Lily felt a big lump in her throat. She felt tears in her eyes. She felt angry and sad and miserable. She wanted to scream and cry and kick. She said, "But Mommy, it's the red circle day! You promised! I want to go to the zoo! I hate the calendar! I hate the sick! I hate everything!"
+
+Mommy hugged her tighter and said, "I know, Lily, I know. I'm sorry. I love you. It's not your fault. It's not the calendar's fault. It's not the zoo's fault. It's just a bad thing that happened. We have to be brave and patient and hopeful. Maybe we can do something else tomorrow, something fun and special. Maybe we can make our own zoo with your toys and books and drawings. Would you like that?"
+
+Lily sniffed and nodded. She did not like it, but she did not hate it. She loved Mommy. She wanted to make Mommy happy. She said, "OK, Mommy. I love you too. Can we sleep now?"
+
+Mommy said, "Yes, Lily. Let's sleep now. Tomorrow will be a better day. Good night, sweetie."
+
+Mommy kissed her and tucked her in. Lily closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She still thought of the zoo and the animals, but she also thought of Mommy and their own zoo. She felt a little better. She hoped tomorrow would be a better day.
+Lily liked to play the flute. She had a pink flute that made pretty sounds. She played the flute every day in her room. She liked to make up songs and sing along.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to play the flute for her mom and dad. She waited for them to come home from work. She put on her best dress and brushed her hair. She held her flute in her hands and smiled.
+
+But when mom and dad came home, they looked tired and sad. They did not smile at Lily. They said they had a bad day. They said they had no time to listen to Lily's songs. They said they had to make dinner and do other things.
+
+Lily felt sad too. She put down her flute and frowns. She did not want to play anymore. She wanted mom and dad to be happy and to hear her songs.
+
+She went to her room and lay on her bed. She hugged her teddy bear and closed her eyes. She wished she could make mom and dad feel better.
+
+Then she had an idea. She got up and took her flute. She went to the kitchen where mom and dad were. She said, "Mom, dad, I have a song for you. It is a warm song. It will make you feel good. Please listen to me."
+
+Mom and dad looked at Lily. They saw her pink flute and her big eyes. They felt a little bit of love in their hearts. They said, "Okay, Lily, we will listen to you. Play your warm song for us."
+
+Lily smiled and played her flute. She played a song that was happy and sweet. She played a song that said, "I love you, mom and dad. You are the best. You work hard and you care for me. You make me feel warm and safe."
+
+Mom and dad listened to Lily's song. They felt a warm feeling in their chests. They felt a smile on their faces. They felt proud of Lily and her flute. They said, "Thank you, Lily, for your warm song. You are a wonderful girl. You make us feel happy and loved. We love you too, Lily. You are the best."
+
+They hugged Lily and kissed her. They said, "Let's have dinner together and talk about our day. And then, let's hear more of your songs. You have a gift, Lily. You have a magic flute."
+
+Lily felt happy too. She hugged mom and dad and kissed them. She said, "I'm glad you like my songs. I have more for you. I have a magic flute. And I have a magic family."
+Anna and Ben went with Mom and Dad to a big hotel. They had never been to a hotel before. They were very excited. They had a big room with two beds and a window. They could see cars and buses and people on the street.
+
+After they put their bags in the room, Mom and Dad said they could explore the hotel. Anna and Ben ran out of the room and down the hall. They saw many doors and signs and pictures. They saw a big lobby with a desk and a sofa and a fountain. They saw a restaurant with tables and chairs and plates and forks. They saw a pool with water and toys and towels. They saw a gym with machines and balls and mats.
+
+Anna and Ben wanted to see everything. They ran from one place to another. They discovered many interesting things. They discovered a piano that played music when they touched the keys. They discovered a vending machine that gave them snacks when they pushed a button. They discovered a lift that took them up and down when they pressed a number. They discovered a garden with flowers and birds and benches.
+
+They had so much fun. They forgot about the time. They forgot about Mom and Dad. They did not hear them calling their names. They did not see them looking for them. They did not know they were lost.
+
+Mom and Dad were worried. They asked the people at the desk and the restaurant and the pool and the gym if they had seen Anna and Ben. They said no. They looked everywhere. They could not find them. They were scared.
+
+Anna and Ben were tired. They wanted to go back to their room. They wanted to see Mom and Dad. They did not know how to get there. They did not remember their room number. They did not have a key. They were sad.
+
+They saw a lady with a cart and a uniform. She had a name tag that said Mary. She was a cleaner. She saw Anna and Ben. She saw they were lost. She asked them their names and their parents' names. She said she would help them. She took them to the desk. She asked the man at the desk to call Mom and Dad. He did. He said they were in their room. He said they were very happy to hear from them. He gave them a key. He said Mary would take them to their room.
+
+Anna and Ben hugged Mary. They thanked her. They said she was very nice. They said she was their friend. Mary smiled. She said they were very sweet. She said she was glad to help them. She took them to their room. She knocked on the door. Mom and Dad opened the door. They saw Anna and Ben. They hugged them. They kissed them. They said they were very worried. They said they were very happy. They said they loved them.
+
+Anna and Ben said they were sorry. They said they wanted to explore the hotel. They said they discovered many interesting things. They said they forgot to tell them. They said they loved them too.
+
+Mom and Dad said they understood. They said they were proud of them. They said they were curious and brave. They said they were glad they found Mary. They said they were lucky. They said they wanted to hear about their adventures. They said they wanted to have dinner with them. They said they wanted to have fun with them.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They said they were hungry. They said they wanted to have dinner with them too. They said they wanted to have fun with them too. They said they liked the hotel. They said it was interesting. They said it was a good day.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today they have paint and paper. They want to make art.
+
+Lily says, "I will paint a flower. Flowers are beautiful. What will you paint, Ben?"
+
+Ben says, "I will paint a face. Faces are beautiful too. I will paint your face, Lily."
+
+Lily says, "Okay, but be careful. Don't make me look funny."
+
+Ben dips his brush in the paint. He paints Lily's face on the paper. He paints her eyes, her nose, her mouth and her hair. He uses different colors. He thinks Lily is very beautiful.
+
+Lily looks at the paper. She sees her face. She smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good painter. You made me look beautiful."
+
+Ben says, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend. You make me happy."
+
+They hug and laugh. They are happy. They have paint and paper. They have art. They have each other.
+Lily loved to play on the swings. She liked to go high and feel the wind in her hair. She thought it was perfect. But she did not listen to her mom, who told her to be careful and hold on tight. She wanted to show off to her friends, who were watching her.
+
+One day, she swung too high and let go of the chains. She flew in the air and felt a thrill. But then she saw the ground coming closer and closer. She was scared and tried to grab something, but it was too late. She had a big fall and landed on the grass. It hurt a lot. She cried and cried.
+
+Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She checked her for any cuts or bruises. She said, "Lily, you are lucky you did not break anything. But you still suffer from your fall. You have to be more careful next time. The swings are not for flying. They are for swinging."
+
+Lily nodded and said she was sorry. She learned her lesson. She did not want to suffer again. She still liked the swings, but she did not swing too high or let go anymore. She found a new way to have fun. She sang songs with her friends while swinging. She thought it was perfect.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with clay. They had many colors of clay and made animals and shapes with them. One day, they found a big box of new clay in the classroom. They were very happy and ran to the box.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is blue clay and green clay and yellow clay!" Lily said.
+
+"Wow, Lily, they are so pretty! Can we play with them?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, let's share them and make something fun!" Lily said.
+
+They took some clay from the box and started to make a big rainbow. They used all the colors and worked hard. They were having fun.
+
+But then, Max came to the box. He was a big boy who did not like to share. He saw the clay and wanted it all for himself. He grabbed the box and tried to take it away.
+
+"Hey, Max, that is not fair! We were playing with the clay!" Lily said.
+
+"I don't care! It is mine now! Go away!" Max said.
+
+He pushed Lily and Ben and ran to the corner with the box. He dumped the clay on the floor and started to smash it with his feet. He made a big mess.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They wanted to play with the clay, but Max ruined it. They cried and told the teacher what happened.
+
+The teacher was very mad at Max. She scolded him and made him clean up the mess. She said he had to say sorry to Lily and Ben and share the clay with them.
+
+But Max did not say sorry. He did not share the clay. He was very mean and stubborn. He did not have any friends.
+
+Lily and Ben did not play with him anymore. They played with other children who liked to share. They were happy and kind.
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to wander in the big store with her mom. She saw many things that she wanted to touch and play with. She saw toys, books, clothes, and food. She liked to look at the colors and shapes of everything.
+
+One day, she wandered too far from her mom. She did not see her mom anymore. She felt scared and sad. She wanted to find her mom. She walked around and around, but she could not see her mom. She saw many people, but they were not her mom.
+
+She saw a shelf with many cups and plates. They were shiny and pretty. She wanted to see them better. She climbed on the shelf and reached for a cup. But the cup was hot. It burned her hand. She cried out loud. She dropped the cup and it broke. She heard a loud noise and saw a man coming. He looked angry.
+
+She wanted her mom more than ever. She cried louder and louder. She hoped her mom would hear her and come to her. She felt sorry for breaking the cup. She felt sorry for wandering away from her mom. She felt sorry for everything.
+Lily was very tired after playing all day. She wanted to sleep in her bed, but she had to wait for her mom to come home from work. She looked at the clock and saw that it was almost time. She heard a knock on the door and ran to open it. It was her mom!
+
+"Hi, sweetie, I missed you so much!" her mom said, hugging her. "I have a surprise for you. Look, I got a letter from Grandma!"
+
+Lily loved Grandma, who lived far away. She took the envelope from her mom and opened it. Inside, there was a card with a picture of a cat and a flower. Lily smiled and read the words with her mom's help.
+
+"Dear Lily, I hope you are having fun and learning new things. I miss you and I can't wait to see you soon. I sent you a cat and a flower to make you happy. Love, Grandma."
+
+Lily felt warm and happy. She hugged the card and thanked her mom. She wanted to write back to Grandma, but she was too sleepy. She asked her mom to help her later.
+
+"Of course, honey, we can write to Grandma tomorrow. Now, let's go to bed. You need to rest and dream of cats and flowers," her mom said, carrying her to her room.
+
+Lily snuggled in her bed, feeling comfortable and safe. She put the card under her pillow and closed her eyes. She thought of Grandma and her cat and her flower. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with a horn. The truck had a sign that said "Ice Cream". Tom and Lily loved ice cream. They ran to the truck and asked for some.
+
+The man in the truck smiled and said, "Sure, I can serve you some ice cream. But you have to do something for me first. You have to blow this horn as loud as you can." He gave them a horn that looked like the one on the truck. Tom and Lily thought it was fun. They took the horn and blew it.
+
+But the horn was not a normal horn. It was a trick horn. It made a loud noise that hurt their ears. It also sprayed water and soap on their faces. Tom and Lily felt scared and sad. They dropped the horn and cried. The man in the truck laughed and said, "That was a good joke. You are silly kids. You don't get any ice cream. Go away."
+
+Tom and Lily ran away from the truck. They felt angry and hurt. They did not like the man in the truck. He was mean and not funny. He did not serve them ice cream. He served them a bad trick. They wished they had never seen the truck with the horn. They wished they had something sweet to make them feel better.
+Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She was a thoughtful girl who wanted to make her mom happy. One Tuesday, she saw her mom making a cake for her dad's birthday. She wanted to surprise her dad with a card, so she took some paper and crayons and went to her room.
+
+She drew a big heart and wrote "I love you, Dad" in her best letters. She was very proud of her card and wanted to show it to her mom. She ran to the kitchen with the card in her hand, but she did not see the cake on the table. She bumped into the cake and it fell on the floor. She was very sad and scared. She thought her mom would be angry and her dad would not have a cake.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the cake on the floor and Anna with the card. She was not angry. She hugged Anna and said, "Thank you for your thoughtful card, sweetie. It is very beautiful. I'm sorry the cake fell, but it's okay. We can make another one together. I love you, too."
+
+Anna felt better and smiled. She gave her card to her mom and helped her clean the floor. She learned to be more careful in the kitchen, but she was not embarrassed. She knew her mom and dad loved her no matter what.
+Lily was very excited. Today was her birthday and she had a big cake and many balloons. She also had a big box with a bow on it. It was a present from her mom and dad. She wanted to open it right away, but her mom said, "Wait, Lily. We have to sing Happy Birthday first. Relax, sweetie. You will see your present soon."
+
+Lily tried to relax, but she was too curious. She wondered what was inside the box. Maybe it was a doll, or a book, or a puzzle. She hoped it was something fun and pretty. She looked at the box and smiled. She loved presents.
+
+After they sang Happy Birthday, her mom said, "OK, Lily. Now you can open your present. Be careful, though. It is very special and gentle. You have to treat it with love and care."
+
+Lily nodded and tore off the paper. She opened the box and gasped. Inside was a soft and fluffy kitten. It was white with black spots and had green eyes. It looked at Lily and meowed. Lily felt her heart melt. She loved kittens.
+
+She reached out her hand and touched the kitten. It was warm and soft. The kitten licked her finger and purred. Lily giggled and lifted the kitten out of the box. She hugged it gently and said, "Thank you, mom and dad. This is the best present ever. I love you and I love my kitten. What is its name?"
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and said, "You can name it whatever you want, Lily. It is your kitten. We are happy that you like it. Happy Birthday, Lily. We love you too."
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over the same toy.
+
+One day, they see a cable on the floor. It is long and black and shiny. They both want to play with it.
+
+"I saw it first!" Ben says. He grabs one end of the cable.
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Sam says. He grabs the other end of the cable.
+
+They pull and pull. They do not speak nicely. They do not listen to each other.
+
+The cable is not a toy. It is for the TV. When they pull too hard, the cable breaks. The TV goes off. It makes a loud noise.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come to the living room. They see the broken cable and the TV. They see Ben and Sam holding the cable.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom asks. She is angry.
+
+"We were playing with the cable," Ben says.
+
+"It was my cable," Sam says.
+
+They both look down. They know they did something bad.
+
+Mom and Dad are not happy. They tell Ben and Sam to say sorry to each other. They tell them to put away their toys. They tell them to sit on the couch. They tell them to watch a little book instead of the TV.
+
+Ben and Sam say sorry to each other. They do not want to fight anymore. They put away their toys. They sit on the couch. They watch a little book together. They speak nicely. They listen to each other.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn to share. They learn to be careful. They learn to be kind.
+Lena was a lively pupil who liked to play and learn. She had many friends in her class, but she also liked to tease them sometimes. She thought it was funny to make jokes and pull faces at them.
+
+One day, she teased Sam, who was sitting next to her. She whispered in his ear, "You are a silly goose, you don't know anything." Then she laughed and poked his arm. Sam felt hurt and angry. He did not like to be teased. He said, "Stop it, Lena, you are mean. I don't want to be your friend."
+
+Lena was surprised and sad. She did not mean to hurt Sam. She only wanted to have fun. She said, "I'm sorry, Sam, I was only joking. Please be my friend again. I like you." But Sam did not answer. He turned away and ignored her.
+
+Lena felt lonely and sorry. She wished she had not teased Sam. She realized that teasing was not nice. She wanted to make up with Sam and play with him. She thought of a way to say sorry. She drew a picture of Sam and her with a big heart and a smile. She wrote, "I'm sorry, Sam, you are a smart goose, you know many things. I want to be your friend."
+
+She gave the picture to Sam at the end of the day. Sam looked at the picture and smiled. He saw that Lena was sincere and kind. He said, "Thank you, Lena, I like your picture. I'm sorry, too, I was too mad. I want to be your friend, too." He gave her a hug and they walked out of the class together. They were happy and lively again.
+Sam and Lily were playing with their cars on the floor. Sam had a big red car and Lily had a small blue car. They made noises as they drove their cars around the room.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Sam said.
+
+"Beep, beep, my car is smart!" Lily said.
+
+They came to a strip of tape on the floor. It was yellow and black. It looked like a road.
+
+"Let's race on the road!" Sam said.
+
+"OK, but you have to yield to me!" Lily said.
+
+They lined up their cars on the road. They counted to three and then zoomed off.
+
+"Go, go, go!" Sam said.
+
+"Wait, wait, wait!" Lily said.
+
+Sam's car was faster than Lily's car. He reached the end of the road first. He turned around and saw Lily's car behind him.
+
+"Ha, ha, I win!" Sam said.
+
+He drove his car back to the start of the road. He did not see Lily's car coming. He did not yield to her. He crashed into her car.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said.
+
+She was scared. Her car was broken. She started to cry.
+
+"Hey, hey, hey!" Sam said.
+
+He was sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He got out of his car and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Sam said.
+
+He gave her his car. He said she could have it.
+
+"Really, really, really?" Lily said.
+
+She stopped crying. She smiled. She took his car. She said thank you.

+
+"Give me your doll!" Tom said. "I want to play with it!"
+
+"No!" Lily said. "It's mine! You have your car!"
+
+Tom did not listen. He grabbed the doll from Lily's hands and ran away. Lily was very angry and sad. She screamed and cried.
+
+"Mommy! Mommy! Tom took my doll!" Lily shouted.
+
+Mommy came from the kitchen and saw what happened. She was not happy either. She scolded Tom and took the doll from him.
+
+"Tom, that was very bad and stupid! You don't take things from your sister! You have to share and be nice!" Mommy said.
+
+Tom did not like Mommy's words. He felt mad and hurt. He screamed and kicked.
+
+"No! No! No! I want the doll! It's not fair!" Tom yelled.
+
+Mommy tried to calm him down, but he did not stop. He threw his car at Mommy and hit her in the face. Mommy was shocked and hurt. She dropped the doll and held her face. She screamed and cried.
+
+"Tom, how could you do that? You hurt me! You are a very bad boy!" Mommy said.
+
+Lily saw what Tom did and was scared and sorry. She ran to Mommy and hugged her. She gave her the doll and said sorry.
+
+"Mommy, I'm sorry. I love you. Are you okay?" Lily said.
+
+Mommy hugged Lily and said thank you. She looked at Tom and was very sad and angry. She did not know what to do with him. She did not love him anymore. She wished he was not her son. She wished he was gone.
+Ben was a lonely boy. He had no friends to play with. He liked to examine things with his magnifying glass. He looked at bugs, leaves, rocks and anything he could find.
+
+One day, he found a big switch on the wall of an old shed. He wondered what it did. He wanted to examine it. He climbed on a box and reached for the switch.
+
+"Stop!" a voice said. Ben was surprised. He looked around and saw a girl with curly hair and glasses. She was holding a book. "Don't touch that switch. It's dangerous."
+
+"Who are you?" Ben asked. He felt curious and scared.
+
+"I'm Lily. I live in the house next to the shed. I like to read books. That switch is connected to an old machine. It makes loud noises and sparks. It could hurt you." Lily said.
+

+Sam and Mia liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was the train set. The train set had a big engine, many cars, and a long cable that made it go. Sam and Mia liked to make the train go fast and slow, and make it stop and start.
+
+One day, their mom told them she had to go to the store. She said they could play with the train, but they had to behave. She said they should not pull the cable too hard, or it might break. She said she would be back soon, and gave them a kiss.
+
+Sam and Mia nodded and said they would behave. But as soon as their mom left, they forgot what she said. They started to pull the cable harder and harder, to make the train go faster and faster. They laughed and shouted, and did not hear the cable make a funny noise.
+
+Suddenly, the cable snapped. The train stopped. Sam and Mia looked at the broken cable, and felt scared. They knew they had done something bad. They wondered what their mom would say when she came back. They wished they had listened to her.
+
+They tried to fix the cable, but they could not. They tried to hide the cable, but they could not. They tried to think of an excuse, but they could not. They decided to tell the truth, and hope their mom would not be too angry.
+
+When their mom came back, she saw the train and the cable. She asked them what happened. Sam and Mia told her they were sorry, and that they had pulled the cable too hard. They said they had not behaved.
+
+Their mom was not happy. She said they had been naughty, and that they had broken their favorite toy. She said they had to learn to be careful, and to listen to her. She said they had to go to their room, and think about what they had done.
+
+But she also said she loved them, and that she was glad they had told the truth. She said she would try to find a new cable, or a new train, for them. She said she hoped they would be more original, and play with their other toys, too. She gave them a hug, and sent them to their room.
+Tom was very happy. It was his birthday and he had a big cake and many balloons. He also had a lot of gifts from his family and friends. He opened them one by one and said thank you. He got a ball, a book, a car, a hat and a teddy bear. He liked them all very much.
+
+But there was one gift that he did not open yet. It was from his best friend, Lily. She was not at his party. She was sick and had to stay at home. Tom missed her a lot. He wondered what she gave him. He hoped it was something nice.
+
+He took the gift and tore the paper. Inside was a box. He opened the box and saw a picture. It was a picture of him and Lily playing in the park. They were smiling and holding hands. Tom felt a warm feeling in his heart. He loved the picture. It was the best gift ever.
+
+He wanted to show it to Lily and tell her how much he liked it. He asked his mom if he could call her. His mom said yes and gave him the phone. He dialed Lily's number and waited.
+
+"Hello?" a voice said. It was Lily's mom.
+
+"Hi, this is Tom. Can I talk to Lily?" Tom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. Lily is sleeping. She is very upset. She wanted to go to your party and give you her gift. But she had a fever and a cough. She made the picture for you. She worked very hard on it. She hoped you would like it." Lily's mom said.
+
+Tom felt sad. He wanted to make Lily feel better. He wanted to play with her and hug her. He said to Lily's mom, "I love the picture. It is the best gift ever. Please tell Lily that I miss her and I hope she gets well soon. And thank you for the gift."
+
+Lily's mom said, "You're welcome, Tom. You're a very good friend. Lily will be happy to hear that. I'll tell her when she wakes up. And happy birthday, Tom."
+
+Tom said, "Thank you. Bye."
+
+He hung up the phone and looked at the picture again. He smiled and put it on his shelf. He knew that Lily was his best friend. And he seemed very happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they got a big box from their grandma. They were eager to see what was inside. They tore off the paper and found two dolls, one for each of them.
+
+Tom liked his doll, but he liked Lily's doll more. It had long hair and a pretty dress. He wanted to swap dolls with Lily, but she said no. She loved her doll and did not want to give it up. Tom was angry and jealous. He thought of a plan to get Lily's doll.
+
+He waited until Lily was busy with something else. Then he took her doll and hid it under his bed. He wrapped his doll with some paper and put it back in Lily's place. He hoped she would not notice the difference.
+
+But Lily was not fooled. She saw the paper and unwrapped it. She saw Tom's doll and knew he had taken hers. She was sad and angry. She ran to Tom's room and looked for her doll. She found it under his bed and took it back. She also took Tom's doll and threw it out of the window.
+
+Tom heard a thud and saw his doll on the ground. He was shocked and scared. He ran to the window and saw Lily holding her doll. She looked at him with a stern face. She said, "You were mean and greedy. You took my doll without asking. You lied to me and tried to trick me. You made me unhappy and you lost your doll. That is what you get for being a bad brother."
+
+Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he had made a big mistake. He had hurt Lily and himself. He had lost his doll and his sister's trust. He wished he had been nice and fair. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that being selfish and dishonest is not worth it. He learned that being kind and honest is better. He learned that sharing and caring is more fun.
+
+He went to Lily and said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have taken your doll. I should have been happy with mine. I should have respected your choice. I should have been a good brother. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily saw that Tom was sincere. She felt sorry for him too. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. I was angry, but I still love you. You are my brother. I should not have thrown your doll. I should have talked to you. I should have been a good sister. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Tom nodded and hugged Lily. He said, "I forgive you, Lily. I love you too. You are my sister. Let's go get my doll. Let's play together. Let's be happy."
+
+They went downstairs and found Tom's doll. It was a bit dirty, but not broken. They cleaned it and brought it back to their room. They played with their dolls and shared their stories. They were happy and grateful. They thanked their grandma for the gift. They thanked each other for the forgiveness. They thanked God for the love. They wrapped each other with a big hug. They were good twins.
+Lily and Max are twins who love to play with their toy rockets. They pretend they are space pilots who deliver mail to different planets.

+
+"Look, Max, this is our space station!" Lily says proudly. "We can put our rockets inside and fly to the moon and Mars and Saturn!"
+
+"Wow, Lily, this is awesome!" Max says. "But we need some mail to deliver. Let's make some letters and packages out of paper and crayons."

+
+"Okay, Lily, have a good trip," Max says. "I will wait for you here. I will be patient."
+
+Lily smiles and gets into her rocket. She pushes a button and makes a loud whoosh sound. She pretends her rocket is flying to the moon. She sees stars and planets and comets on the way.

+
+"Max, you are back!" Lily says. "How was Mars?"
+
+"It was great, Lily," Max says. "I delivered some mail to a mountain. Maybe a robot will get it. Do you want to go to another planet?"
+
+"Yes, Max, I do," Lily says. "Let's go to Saturn. It has rings and moons and is very pretty."
+
+"Okay, Lily, let's go to Saturn," Max says. "We still have some mail to deliver. We are the best space pilots ever!"

+
+They got a ladder and climbed up to the roof. They reached the cake and took a big bite. But the cake was not sweet at all. It was bitter and sour and made them cough. They spit out the cake and felt sick. They looked at the cake and saw a note. It said: "This is not a real cake. It is a trap. I made it to teach you a lesson. You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask before you eat. Love, Mom."

+Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been greedy and rude. They climbed down the ladder and ran to their mom. They hugged her and said: "We are sorry, Mom. We were wrong.

+
+The fireman clapped and said, "Good job, little girl! You are very brave!" He gave her a hug and a sticker. The sticker had a picture of a fire truck and said, "I met a fireman today!" Lily felt the sticker on her chest. It was soft and shiny. She said, "Thank you, fireman! I like your sticker!"
+
+The fireman said, "You're welcome, little girl. I like your smile!" He waved goodbye and got in his truck. He turned on the siren and drove away. Lily waved back and said, "Bye, fireman! See you soon!"

+
+She saw a mug that was weird. It was black and had a big eye on it. It looked scary and funny. Lily thought her mom would like it. She reached for the mug and pulled it out. But the mug was heavy and slippery. Lily lost her grip and the mug fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces and made a loud noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken mug and the mess on the floor. She was angry and sad. She yelled at Lily and said she was a bad girl. She said the mug was special and belonged to her grandma. She said Lily should not touch things that were not hers. She said Lily had to go to her room and stay there.
+
+Lily was scared and sorry. She did not mean to break the mug. She wanted to help her mom and make her happy. She started to cry and ran to her room. She felt bad and alone. She wished she had picked a different mug. She wished her mom would forgive her. She wished the weird mug had never existed.

+
+They went to the mirror and pretended to be grown-ups. They made serious faces and said things like "Hello, how are you?" and "I have a very important meeting today." They laughed and had a good time.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She opened the door and saw them in their clothes. She was surprised and amused.
+
+"What are you two doing?" she asked.
+
+"We are playing dress-up, mom!" Anna said.
+
+"We are very serious grown-ups, mom!" Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are very cute, but you are also very silly. These clothes are too big for you. Why don't you take them off and put on your own clothes?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other and nodded. They took off the clothes and put them back in the box. They hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom!"
+
+Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, my little ones. Now, let's go and have some snacks. You must be hungry after playing so much." They went to the kitchen and ate some cookies and milk. They were happy and full.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw some red tomatoes on the plant. Anna wanted to pick one and eat it. Ben wanted to throw one and see what happens.
+
+"Can I have a tomato, please?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"No, they are mine. Go away!" Ben said. He was not generous.
+
+Anna was sad. She walked away. Ben picked a tomato and threw it in the air. He laughed. He threw another one. He did not see that the tomato hit a bird.
+
+The bird was angry. It flew down and pecked Ben on the head. Ben cried. He dropped the tomatoes. He ran to his mom.
+
+Anna saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben. She picked up a tomato and went to him.
+
+"Here, you can have this tomato. I am sorry the bird hurt you," Anna said. She was generous.
+
+Ben took the tomato and smiled. He said thank you. He gave Anna a hug. They became friends. They shared the tomatoes. They did not throw them anymore. They ate them. They were yummy.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they saw a big red balloon in the sky. It was shiny and bright.
+
+"Wow, look at that balloon!" Anna said. "It is so pretty. I wish I had one."
+
+"Me too," Ben said. "Maybe we can get one from the store."
+
+They ran to the store and asked the lady for a balloon. The lady smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I only have one balloon left. And it is not red. It is yellow."
+
+Anna and Ben looked at the yellow balloon. It was not as pretty as the red one. They felt sad.
+
+"Who wants the balloon?" the lady asked.
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They both wanted the balloon, but they also wanted to be nice to each other.
+
+"You can have it, Anna," Ben said. "You saw the red balloon first. You should have a balloon too."
+
+"No, you can have it, Ben," Anna said. "You are my best friend. You deserve a balloon more."
+
+The lady was touched by their kindness. She said, "You are both very humble and sweet. I have a surprise for you. I have another balloon in the back. And it is red. You can both have a balloon."
+
+Anna and Ben were so happy. They thanked the lady and hugged each other. They ran to the park and played with their balloons. They admired the colors and shapes of the balloons. They made a memory that they would always remember. They were best friends.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars and dolls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There are many swings and slides and sandboxes in the park.
+
+Ben sees a big red swing. He runs to it and sits on it. He asks his mom to push him. He feels happy and excited. He swings high and low, fast and slow.
+
+Lily sees the same swing. She wants to try it too. She walks to it and waits for Ben to stop. She says, "Ben, can I have a turn?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, this is my swing. I don't want to share. Go find another swing."
+
+Lily feels sad and angry. She says, "That's not fair. You have been on the swing for a long time. You should let me have a turn. Sharing is nice."
+
+Ben refuses to listen. He says, "No, no, no. This is my swing. Go away."
+
+Lily starts to cry. She runs to her mom and tells her what happened. Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. Ben is not being very kind. He should share with you. Maybe he will change his mind later. Why don't we look for another swing that is available?"
+
+Lily nods. She wipes her tears and follows her mom. They find a blue swing that is empty. Lily sits on it and smiles. Her mom pushes her. She feels happy and calm. She swings high and low, fast and slow.
+
+Ben sees Lily on the blue swing. He feels bored and lonely. He wants to play with her. He stops his swing and gets off. He walks to Lily and says, "Lily, can I play with you?"
+
+Lily looks at him. She says, "Ben, you were mean to me. You didn't share your swing. You made me cry. Why do you want to play with me now?"
+
+Ben feels sorry and ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was selfish. I should have shared my swing. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "Ben, I forgive you. But you have to promise to be nice and share next time. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben nods. He says, "I promise, Lily. I will be nice and share next time. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, Ben. We can be friends again. Do you want to swing with me?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, Lily. I want to swing with you."
+
+They both sit on the blue swing. Their moms push them. They feel happy and friendly. They swing high and low, fast and slow. They laugh and talk and have fun. They don't worry about anything. They are good friends.
+Sara and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a dove on a tree. Sara wanted to use her net to catch the dove. Ben said no, that was not nice. The dove was free and happy. Sara did not listen. She ran to the tree and threw her net.
+
+The dove was scared and flew away. But the net got stuck on a branch. Sara tried to pull the net, but it was too high. She asked Ben to help her. Ben was angry and said no. He said Sara was mean and selfish. He left her alone.
+
+Sara was sad and sorry. She wanted to say sorry to the dove and to Ben. But she could not. She was hungry and thirsty. She saw a red fruit on the ground. She thought it was sweet and juicy. She picked it up and bit it.
+
+But the fruit was not sweet and juicy. It was spicy and hot. It burned Sara's mouth and tongue. She spit it out and cried. She wished she had not tried to catch the dove. She wished she had listened to Ben. She learned a hard lesson. Being mean and selfish can hurt you and others.
+Lily likes to hear stories from her dad. He tells her stories about animals, places, and people. Sometimes he makes funny voices and sounds. Lily laughs and claps her hands.
+
+One day, he tells her a story about a huge olive. The olive is so big that it rolls down a hill and knocks over trees and houses. The people are scared and run away. The olive is lonely and sad. It wants to have friends.
+
+Lily feels sorry for the olive. She asks her dad, "Can I be the olive's friend?" Her dad smiles and says, "Sure, you can. But how will you find the olive?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. Then she says, "I will hear the olive. It will make a loud noise when it rolls. I will follow the noise and find the olive. Then I will say hello and give it a hug."
+
+Her dad nods and says, "That's a good idea. But be careful, the olive is huge. It might not see you or hear you. You have to be brave and smart."
+
+Lily says, "I am brave and smart. I will be the olive's friend." She hugs her dad and says, "Thank you for the story. I love you."
+
+Her dad hugs her back and says, "I love you too. And I love your imagination."
+Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many colors and shapes of blocks. They were happy.
+
+But then, Tom came. Tom was their big brother. He was mean. He did not like to play with blocks. He liked to destroy things. He saw Ben and Lily's blocks and he smiled.
+
+"Hello, little ones," he said. "What are you doing? Can I play with you?"
+
+Ben and Lily did not want Tom to play with them. They knew he would ruin their blocks. They said, "No, Tom. Go away. These are our blocks."
+
+Tom did not go away. He said, "Oh, come on. Don't be sour. I just want to have some fun. Let me see your blocks."
+
+He reached for the blocks. Ben and Lily tried to stop him. They shouted, "No, Tom. No!"
+
+But Tom was stronger. He grabbed the blocks and threw them in the air. He laughed as he watched them fall. He said, "Look, they fly! How fun!"
+
+Ben and Lily cried. They saw their blocks break and scatter. They saw their towers and houses and bridges destroyed. They were sad.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom and the blocks. She saw Ben and Lily's tears. She was angry.
+
+"Tom, what have you done?" she said. "You destroyed your siblings' blocks. That was not nice. That was not welcome. You have to say sorry and help them clean up."
+
+Tom did not want to say sorry. He did not want to help. He said, "But Mom, they were just blocks. They were boring. I was bored."
+
+Mom said, "That is no excuse. You have to respect other people's things. You have to be kind. You have to learn to share. Now, say sorry and help, or you will be in trouble."
+
+Tom knew Mom was serious. He did not want to be in trouble. He said, "Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Lily. I will help you."
+
+Ben and Lily did not believe Tom. They did not forgive him. They said, "Go away, Tom. We don't want you here. You are mean."
+
+Mom said, "That's enough. You all have to get along. You are family. You have to love each other. Now, hug and make up."
+
+Ben and Lily did not want to hug Tom. They did not want to make up. They said, "No, Mom. He is sour. He is bad."
+
+Mom said, "Please, try. He is your brother. He made a mistake. He is sorry. Give him a chance."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at Tom. Tom looked at Ben and Lily. They saw each other's faces. They saw each other's feelings. They felt a little sorry. They felt a little love.
+
+They said, "Okay, Mom. We will try."
+
+They hugged Tom. Tom hugged them. They said, "Sorry, Tom. We love you."
+
+Tom said, "Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Lily. I love you too."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "That's better. Now, let's clean up the blocks and play something else. Something we all like. Something fun."
+
+They said, "Okay, Mom. Let's do that."
+
+They cleaned up the blocks and played something else. Something they all liked. Something fun. They were happy.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play in the farm. They saw many animals there, like cows, pigs, chickens and horses. One day, they saw a new animal that looked like a horse, but had long ears and a loud voice. They wanted to pet it, but they did not know what it was.
+
+"Hello, what are you?" Tom asked the animal.
+
+"I am a mule," the animal said. "I help the farmer carry things and plow the field."
+
+"Can we pet you?" Sue asked.
+
+"No, you cannot," the mule said. "I do not like children. You are noisy and annoying. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+The mule was very rude and bitter. He did not want to make friends with anyone. He thought he was better than the other animals and the children.
+
+Tom and Sue felt sad and hurt. They did not understand why the mule was so mean. They ran away and found the farmer.
+
+"Farmer, why is the mule so bitter?" Tom asked.
+
+"Ah, the mule is bitter because he does not recognize his own value," the farmer said. "He thinks he is not as good as a horse or a donkey, because he is a mix of both. He does not see that he is strong and smart and useful. He only sees his flaws and faults. He needs to learn to love himself and others."
+
+Tom and Sue thought about what the farmer said. They decided to try to be kind to the mule, even if he was bitter. They hoped that one day, the mule would recognize his own value and be happy. They learned that everyone has something good and special inside them, and that they should treat others with respect and kindness.
+Tom and Anna are playing in the garden. They like to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sometimes they find worms and snails and beetles. They put them in a jar and watch them move.

+
+"Look, Anna, we found a vegetable!" Tom says.
+
+"What is it?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a ball?" Tom says.
+
+They roll the vegetable on the ground. It is not a good ball. It is too heavy and bumpy.
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is Mom.
+
+"Tom, Anna, what are you doing?" Mom asks.
+
+"We found a vegetable, Mom!" Tom says.
+
+Mom smiles. She sees the vegetable in their hands.
+
+"That is not a vegetable, Tom. That is a pumpkin!" Mom says.
+
+"A pumpkin?" Tom and Anna say.
+
+"Yes, a pumpkin. It is a special vegetable that grows in the fall. You can make a light with it. Do you want to try?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, yes!" Tom and Anna say.
+
+Mom takes them inside. She cuts a hole in the top of the pumpkin. She scoops out the seeds and the pulp. She carves a face on the pumpkin. She puts a candle inside. She turns off the lights.
+

+Anna had a purple bike that she loved very much. She rode it every day to the park, to the store, and to her friend's house. One day, she was riding her bike on the sidewalk when a big truck came out of the factory. The truck was loud and fast and did not see Anna. It hit her bike and made it fly in the air. Anna fell down and hurt her knee and her elbow.

+Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with different clothes and hair. She liked to make them talk and have tea parties. But Anna did not like to share her dolls with her brother Tom.
+
+Tom wanted to play with Anna's dolls too. He thought they were fun and pretty. He asked Anna if he could have one doll to play with. But Anna said no. She was bossy and did not want to share. She said the dolls were only for girls and Tom was a boy.
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He did not think it was fair that Anna had all the dolls. He decided to take one doll when Anna was not looking. He saw a doll with a pink dress and a knob on her head. He thought the knob was funny and he wanted to see what it did. He grabbed the doll and ran to his room.
+
+Anna saw Tom take her doll. She was very mad. She ran after Tom and shouted at him. She said he was a bad brother and he had to give back her doll. She tried to open Tom's door, but it was locked. She banged on the door and pulled on the knob, but it did not open.
+
+Tom heard Anna outside his door. He did not want to give back the doll. He wanted to play with it and see what the knob did. He refused to open the door or listen to Anna. He turned the knob on the doll's head and waited to see what would happen. But nothing happened. The knob was just a knob. It did not make the doll talk or move or do anything. Tom was disappointed and bored. He realized the doll was not so fun after all. He wished he had played with Anna instead of taking her doll. He felt sorry and decided to say sorry to Anna. He opened the door and gave back the doll. He said he was sorry and he asked Anna if they could play together. Anna was still mad, but she forgave Tom. She said they could play together, but they had to share the dolls. Tom agreed and they went to have a tea party with the dolls. They were happy and they hugged each other. They learned to share and be nice to each other. The end.

+
+"Hello, teddy," Sara says. "Do you want to learn how to brush your fur? It is fun and good for you."
+
+Teddy nods his head. He likes to learn new things from Sara.
+

+
+Teddy nods his head again. He wants to be gentle and careful with Sara's brush.
+
+"Good, teddy. Now, you hold the brush in your paw like this. Then, you start from the top of your head and move the brush down to your tail. You do this slowly and gently, so you don't hurt your fur or pull it out. Do you see?"
+
+Teddy watches Sara as she shows him how to brush his fur. He thinks it looks easy and fun.
+
+"Can I try, Sara?" Teddy asks.

+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim said. "It is so cool!"

+
+Tim and Sue were scared. They ran back to the park. The man followed them and yelled.
+
+"Sorry, mister!" Tim said. "We were just looking. We didn't mean to whistle."
+
+The man stopped and looked at them. He saw that they were just little kids. He felt sorry for them.
+
+"It's okay, kids," he said. "I was too harsh. I love my bike and I don't like anyone to touch it. But you didn't hurt it. You can whistle if you want. Just be careful."
+
+He smiled and whistled with them. He showed them how to make different sounds with his mouth. Tim and Sue liked him. He was not so ugly after all.

+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big white bird in the sky. It was flying very high and fast.
+
+"Look, look!" Anna said. "A bird! A big bird!"

+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it is bad for us."

+They heard a voice from behind the mushroom. It was a fairy with wings and a wand. She waved at them and smiled.
+

+
+"Yes, it is pretty," Lila said.

+Joe quickly ran outside and went sprawling in a big, muddy puddle and he squealed with delight. He spent a few hours playing in the rain, and when he came back in he saw that the ceiling was wet.
+
+Joe asked his mom, "Why is the ceiling wet, Mommy?"
+
+"That's from the rain coming in through the window, sweetie," she said.
+
+Joe's eyes lit up. "Can I splash in the puddles on the ceiling, too?" he asked.
+
+Mommy laughed. "Why not? Just make sure to use your green towel to soak up all the water," she replied.
+
+So Joe raced to get his green towel, and when he returned he began having so much fun jumping and splashing in the puddles on the ceiling. He laughed and laughed as he soaked up all the water with his green towel.

+
+Jack was a bit bossy, so he started to yell to Luke about what he should do. But Luke didn't want to be bossed about. He shouted back, saying he wanted to play his own way.
+
+But Jack was still being bossy. He kept on yelling, which made Luke even more frustrated. He threw the basketball on the ground and ran away.

+
+The old man wasn't done yet. He said that he wanted to teach Jack a lesson and he cast a spell on Jack. Suddenly, Jack couldn't move and he was stuck in place. He shouted for help and begged the old man to stop, but the old man just laughed and kept walking.
+
+Now Jack was cursed and no longer available to joke around and make people happy. He had learned his lesson and never tried to joke around again. This was a sad ending, but it had a moral value: think before you joke around, because it can have bad consequences.

+Once upon a time, there was a wise cow. She had lived in the green fields for years and years. Every morning she would strike at the tall grass, eating her breakfast.
+
+On this particular morning, however, something was different. She saw a strange figure in the field, a person she had never seen before. She walked slowly towards him and said, "Who are you?" 
+
+The figure answered in a strange voice, "I am the wise man." 
+
+The cow was surprised. "What kind of wisdom do you have?" she asked. 
+
+The wise man looked around the field and said, "You should follow the sun".
+
+The wise cow nodded and thought about what he said. She looked around and saw the warm glow of the sun. Suddenly, she understood what he meant. She would strike at the grass towards the sun, and so make the most of her day. 
+
+The wise man smiled and said, "You are wise indeed". With a nod, he disappeared back into the fields.
+
+The wise cow felt proud that she had learned something new. From then on, she struck at the grass towards the sunny side of the field, and she was always the happiest cow in the meadow.
+One sunny day, Mia went for a walk in the park. She greeted the birds and looked for interesting things to explore. Then suddenly, Mia saw something strange and realized it was an invitation. She picked it up and opened it up with curiosity.
+
+Inside the invitation, Mia read, "Would you like to come to my party?". Mia felt excited and nodded her head. She said to herself, "Yes, I must accept the invitation!".
+
+After that, Mia started to gather all the things she needed to get ready for the party. She put on her dress, her shoes and her hat. But she was a little bit frightened because she didn't know who was going to be there.
+
+But when Mia arrived at the party, she saw a lot of friendly faces that welcomed her with open arms. Mia was no longer scared. She accepted her invitation, and it was the best decision she ever made!
+One day, Jack saw a pass on the ground. He was very curious and he wanted to pick it up. He looked around and he saw nobody around him. So, he quickly grabbed the pass and started to look at it. He was worried that he could get in trouble if someone caught him with the pass.
+
+Suddenly, he heard footsteps. He looked up and saw an old man walking in his direction. Jack was very anxious. He was scared that the old man had seen him take the pass.
+
+The old man stopped in front of Jack. He asked, “Why are you so anxious?†Jack hesitated for a moment and then he said, “I have the pass.â€
+
+The old man smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I actually dropped this pass. It’s yours now! Looking after your things is a very good habit.â€
+
+Jack was relieved. He thanked the old man and they both went home. From that day, Jack was more careful with his belongings.
+One day, Jack and Jill were playing in the garden. They were so happy and excited for their plans for the day. 
+
+"Let's climb a palm tree!" said Jack. 
+
+Jill smiled and nodded. "That's a brilliant plan."
+
+The two of them ran to the nearest palm tree. Jack took a deep breath and started to climb. Jill cheered him on as he went higher and higher. Suddenly he stopped.
+
+"What's wrong?" asked Jill.
+
+"I've heard there are coconuts up here. Do you think we can reach them?" asked Jack.
+
+"I'm sure you can, Jack," Jill said encouragingly. 
+
+Jack smiled. He started to climb again, using all his strength and energy. After a few more minutes of climbing, Jack could see two big round coconuts up ahead. He carefully stretched out his arm and grasped them with both hands. 
+
+"We did it!" shouted Jack.
+
+Jill clapped and smiled. "That was a brilliant plan!"
+
+Jack laughed and climbed back down. Together, they enjoyed the sweet, juicy coconuts from the palm tree.
+Once upon a time there was a little girl named Sarah. She was strong and liked to play hide and seek with her friends. One day, Sarah wanted to surprise her friends by coming up with a new hiding style. She thought that she could use a strong tree to hide behind. 
+
+So Sarah ran to the park and quickly picked the tallest tree she could find. She hugged it tight and began to hide.
+
+But then, the tree started to move! Sarah opened her eyes and could not believe what she saw. It was not a tree — it was a big, strong bear!
+
+The bear roared and Sarah screamed. "Please don't hide," said the bear. But it was too late. Sarah ran away as fast as she could, but the bear chased her. He was too strong and quickly caught up to her. In the end, Sarah was never seen again.
+One day, there was a harmless little bunny. He was out in the forest, feeling very happy and excited! He was so excited that he wanted to do something special.
+
+So he hopped around until he found a huge cup of tea, with lots of cream and sugar. He knew it was too good to lie in front of him, so he hopped up and decided to have a sip. But it was so sweet that he felt a bit silly! So he decided to just lie down and have a rest.
+
+He snuggled up in a comfy spot and soon fell asleep. When he woke up the cup of tea was still there and he finished it all up! The tea was yummy and he felt much better. He wiggled his ears and smiled - he had a wonderful day!
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jimmy. He was playing in the park and he saw a crocodile sitting by the pond. Jimmy was frightened by the crocodile and he ran away. 
+
+Jimmy's mom saw him running away and she said, "Jimmy, why are you so scared? It's just a crocodile." 
+
+Jimmy replied, "Mom, I'm scared because it's so big and it could hurt me." 
+
+His mom smiled at him and said, "It's okay to be afraid, but I bet the crocodile just wants to keep you safe. Crocodiles aren't mean, they just want to stay in the pond and be left alone." 
+
+Jimmy was relieved and he felt better. He learned a valuable lesson that day to always remember: not all things that look scary are actually dangerous, and sometimes it's best to keep a safe distance.
+One day, three little friends, Amy, Rebecca and Harry, decided to celebrate their friendship. They had a lot of fun playing together.
+
+Amy said: "Let's find a shelter to celebrate!"
+
+So, the three of them looked around for a shelter. Everywhere was quite dull and there were no shelter around.
+
+Rebecca then said, "We can make a shelter ourselves! We can use our jackets and cushions to make a tent!"
+
+Harry jumped up and said, "Yes! Let's do it!"
+
+So, the three of them worked together to make a shelter for their celebration. They had a great time hiding inside and playing games.
+
+At the end of the day, the three of them went home happy and satisfied. They had celebrated their great friendship with a lot of fun and silliness!
+Once there was a little girl. She was very special and unique. She had a magical bin. Every day, the bin kept her safe and protected her. 
+
+One day the girl went for a walk and found a tiny animal. It was scared so she reached down and picked it up. She put it in her bin so it would be safe. 
+
+The next day, the girl went back out into the woods and found more creatures. She put them all in her bin and kept them safe. 
+
+The little girl loved her bin and all her special animals. She knew it would protect them forever. 
+
+The end.

+
+"What is that?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it is a snake."
+
+Tom is scared. He does not like snakes. He runs away.
+
+"Wait, Tom!" Mia calls. "It is not a snake. It is a kite."
+
+Mia runs after Tom. She catches him. She shows him the kite. It has a long tail and a string.
+
+"See? It is a kite. Someone left it here. We can play with it," Mia says.
+
+Tom looks at the kite. He sees the tail and the string. He feels silly. He smiles.
+
+"Sorry, Mia. I was wrong. It is a kite. It is a nice kite. Can we fly it?" Tom says.
+
+Mia nods. She gives Tom the string. They run with the kite. The kite flies high in the sky. It makes a noisy sound. Tom and Mia laugh. They have fun.

+They believe the kite is the best toy ever. They are happy. They are friends.

+
+"Look, Sam, I can fly!" Lily says.
+
+Sam smiles. He waits for his turn. He wants to fly too.
+
+Lily stops the swing. She jumps off. She helps Sam get on the swing.

+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to push you so hard. Are you okay?" Lily said.
+
+Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was sorry. He stopped crying and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you didn't mean it. My knee is a little sore, but I'll be fine."
+
+Mom came and gave Ben a band-aid and a kiss. She said, "Good job, Lily, for saying sorry and being kind to your brother. And good job, Ben, for forgiving your sister and being brave. I'm proud of both of you."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "We love you, Mom."

+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. Now, do you want to play some more?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please!"

+They held hands and went to the slide. They forgot about the hurt and had more fun. They were happy.
+Sam and Mia are playing in their room. They have many toys and books and folders. They like to draw and color and cut and paste. They make funny pictures and stories with their folders.
+
+One day, Sam finds a smelly folder under his bed. He opens it and sees a lot of old food and trash. He says, "Yuck! What is this? Who put this here?"
+
+Mia hears him and comes to see. She looks at the smelly folder and says, "Oh, no! That is my old lunch folder. I forgot to throw it away. I'm sorry, Sam. It is very smelly and dirty."
+
+Sam says, "It's okay, Mia. But we have to get rid of it. It will make us sick. And it will make our room stink. Let's take it to the trash can outside."
+
+Mia says, "Yes, let's do that. But first, we have to put on our gloves and masks. We don't want to touch or smell the smelly folder. It is very gross."
+
+They put on their gloves and masks and pick up the smelly folder. They hold it far from their bodies and walk to the door. They lay the smelly folder on the floor and open the door. They see their mom in the kitchen.
+
+Mom says, "Hi, kids. What are you doing?"
+
+Sam and Mia say, "Hi, mom. We are taking out the trash. We found a smelly folder in our room. It is very old and bad."
+
+Mom says, "Oh, dear. That is not good. Thank you for being responsible and cleaning up. But be careful. Don't spill anything on the way. And wash your hands when you come back."
+
+Sam and Mia say, "Okay, mom. We will. Bye."
+
+They go outside and throw the smelly folder in the trash can. They close the lid and run back to the house. They wash their hands and take off their gloves and masks. They feel happy and proud.

+
+"Mom, can we have a snack?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. I have some apples and crackers in the bag. Come and sit on the bench," Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben ran to the bench. They took the apples and crackers from the bag. They bit and chewed. They felt happy.
+
+But then, Ben saw a big swing. He wanted to try it. He left his snack on the bench. He ran to the swing. He climbed on it. He pushed with his feet. He swung higher and higher.
+
+"Look at me, Sara! I'm flying!" Ben shouted.
+
+Sara looked at Ben. She saw him swing very high. She felt scared. She wanted him to stop.
+
+"Ben, be careful! You're too high!" Sara said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He swung even higher. He felt dizzy. He lost his balance. He fell off the swing. He landed on the grass. He cried.
+
+"Ben!" Sara and Mom shouted. They ran to Ben. They helped him up. They checked if he was hurt.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Mom asked.
+
+Ben nodded. He had a scratch on his knee. He had dirt on his clothes. He felt sad.

+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed the ducks, but Ben wanted to throw stones at them. Lily said, "No, Ben, that is bad. You will hurt the ducks and make them sad." But Ben did not listen. He said, "I don't care. It is fun to throw stones. You are deaf. You can't hear the ducks quack."
+
+Lily was not deaf, but she did not like to argue with Ben. She went to find some bread for the ducks. She broke the bread into small pieces and threw them into the water. The ducks came closer and ate the bread. They quacked happily and wagged their tails. Lily smiled and felt happy too.
+
+Ben saw Lily and the ducks. He felt jealous. He wanted to spoil Lily's fun. He picked up a big stone and threw it at the ducks. But he threw it too hard and too far. The stone flew over the water and hit a big tree. The tree shook and dropped a big branch. The branch fell on Ben's head and knocked him down. Ben cried out in pain and fear.
+
+Lily heard Ben's cry and ran to help him. She saw the branch on his head and the blood on his face. She felt sorry for him. She took off her scarf and wrapped it around his wound. She called for help. A man came and took Ben to the hospital.
+
+Lily went with Ben to the hospital. She held his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I hope you will be okay." Ben looked at Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was bad. I should not have thrown stones at the ducks. You were right. They are nice and you are kind. You are not deaf. You can hear the ducks quack. And you can hear me say, I'm sorry."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are my friend. But next time, please be nice to the ducks. They are our friends too."
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not hurt animals or people. Be kind and listen to others. You may regret your actions and lose your friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park in summer. They like to swing, slide and run. They also like to add things to their sand castle. They add shells, sticks and stones. They make their castle big and pretty.
+
+One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has orange hair and a big smile. He comes to their castle and says hello. He says his name is Max. He asks if he can play with them. Lily and Ben say yes. They like Max. He is funny and kind.
+
+Max says he has something to add to their castle. He says it is a surprise. He runs to his bag and brings back a big orange balloon. He says it is a sun for their castle. He ties it to a stick and puts it on top of the castle. Lily and Ben clap and cheer. They think the balloon is beautiful. They thank Max for his gift.
+
+But then, a strong wind blows. It makes the balloon shake and wobble. It pulls the stick out of the sand. The balloon flies away. Lily, Ben and Max watch it go. They are sad. They liked the balloon. They liked their sun.
+
+Max says he is sorry. He says he did not know the wind would take the balloon. He says he has another surprise. He runs to his bag and brings back three orange popsicles. He says they are for them. He says they are cold and sweet. He says they are like summer. Lily and Ben smile. They forgive Max. They take the popsicles and lick them. They are happy. They like Max. They like summer. They like orange.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over the same toy.
+
+One day, Mom makes cocoa for them. She puts two cups on the table and says, "Here you go, Anna and Ben. Drink your cocoa and be nice to each other."
+
+Anna and Ben run to the table. They both want the cup with the pink straw. They grab the cup at the same time and pull hard.
+
+"Let go! It's mine!" Anna shouts.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben shouts.
+
+They tug and tug until the cup falls off the table and spills cocoa on the floor. Mom hears the noise and comes back.
+
+"Oh no! Look what you did!" Mom says. "You wasted the cocoa and made a mess. Now you have to clean it up and say sorry to each other."
+
+Anna and Ben feel bad. They know they were naughty. They get a cloth and wipe the floor. Then they hug and say sorry.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's better. You are clever twins. You can solve your problems and be kind. Now you can have another cup of cocoa, but this time, you have to share."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you."
+
+They sit on the couch and drink their cocoa. They share the pink straw and the blue straw. They are happy and warm. They do not fight anymore.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were spies and had a secret mission. They used a shoe box as their cell phone and talked to each other in codes.
+
+"Agent Lily, do you copy?" Tom said into the box.
+
+"Copy, Agent Tom. I have the clue. It is a red ball," Lily said.
+
+"Good work, Agent Lily. Bring the clue to the base. But be careful, there is a terrible enemy on the way," Tom said.
+
+Lily nodded and put the ball in her pocket. She crawled under the table and headed to the couch, where Tom was waiting. But she did not see the big cat that was sleeping on the rug. The cat woke up and saw Lily moving. It thought she was a mouse and pounced on her.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily screamed. "The enemy is here!"
+
+Tom heard Lily's cry and ran to save her. He grabbed the shoe box and threw it at the cat. The cat was startled and ran away.
+
+"Are you okay, Agent Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you, Agent Tom. You stopped the enemy. You are a hero," Lily said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They had completed their mission. They did not notice that the shoe box had broken and their cell phone was gone.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a navy car. Tom has a red truck. They have fun on the floor.
+
+One day, Tom says, "I want your navy car. It is faster than my red truck."
+
+Lily says, "No, it is mine. You have your red truck. It is bigger than my navy car."
+
+Tom says, "I don't care. Give me your navy car or I will take it."
+
+Lily says, "No, no, no. Go away. You are mean."
+
+Tom gets angry. He grabs Lily's navy car and runs away. Lily cries. She tries to catch Tom, but he is too fast. He runs outside and throws the navy car on the street.
+
+A big bus comes. It hits the navy car. The navy car breaks into pieces. Tom is scared. He drops his red truck and runs back inside.
+
+Lily sees the navy car on the street. It is broken. She is very sad. She picks up the pieces and hugs them. She says, "My navy car, my navy car. I loved you so much."
+
+Tom sees Lily. He feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was bad. I should not have taken your navy car. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily looks at Tom. She is angry. She says, "No, we can't. You are not my friend. You are a bad boy. Go away. I don't want to see you ever again."
+
+Tom cries. He picks up his red truck and goes home. He is alone. He has no friends. He has no fun. He wishes he had been nice to Lily. But it is too late. He has lost his friend and her navy car. The end.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many feathers. The bird flew away and left a feather on the ground.
+
+"Look, a feather!" Mia said. She ran to pick it up.
+
+"Can I hold it?" Ben asked. He wanted to feel the feather.
+
+"OK, but be gentle," Mia said. She gave the feather to Ben.
+
+Ben held the feather in his hand. It was soft and light. He tickled Mia's nose with it. Mia giggled.
+
+"Let's find more feathers!" Ben said. He looked around the park.
+
+But there were no more feathers. The park was empty.
+
+"Where did the bird go?" Mia asked. She was sad.
+
+"Maybe it went to find its friends," Ben said. He was sad too.
+
+He gave the feather back to Mia. She held it close to her chest.
+

+
+But when they got to the airport, something bad happened. Mom and Dad could not find their tickets. They looked in their bags, in their pockets, in the car, but the tickets were gone. Mom and Dad started to panic. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Where are our tickets?" Mom asked Dad.
+
+"I don't know, I thought you had them," Dad said.
+
+"Maybe we left them at home," Mom said.
+
+"But we don't have time to go back," Dad said.
+
+Sara and Tom felt scared. They did not want to miss their trip. They did not want to see Mom and Dad sad. They wanted to help.

+
+"Excuse me, sir," Sara said. "Did you find any tickets?"
+
+The man looked at Sara and Tom. He smiled and said, "Yes, I did. Are these yours?" He showed them two tickets with Mom and Dad's names on them.
+
+Sara and Tom gasped. They recognized the tickets. They were Mom and Dad's tickets.
+
+"Yes, they are!" Tom said. "Thank you, thank you!"
+
+The man gave them the tickets and said, "You're welcome. You're very lucky. Someone found them on the floor and brought them here. You should hurry and give them to your parents. They must be very worried."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded and ran back to Mom and Dad. They waved the tickets and shouted, "Mom, Dad, we found your tickets!"
+
+Mom and Dad saw the tickets and hugged Sara and Tom. They were so happy and relieved. They thanked Sara and Tom for being so smart and brave. They thanked the man for being so kind and helpful. They checked in their luggage and boarded the plane.

+Anna and Ben are playing with a big box. They pretend it is a spaceship. They make loud noises like zoom and beep and boom. They twist the box to go left and right. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear Mom call them. "Anna! Ben! Time for lunch!" Mom says. Anna and Ben do not want to stop playing. They like their spaceship. They look at each other and wink. They have an idea.
+
+They twist the box one more time and hide inside. They are very quiet. They hope Mom will not find them. They giggle softly.
+
+Mom comes into the room. She sees the big box. She smiles. She knows Anna and Ben are inside. She pretends she does not see them. She says, "Oh, where are Anna and Ben? I can't find them anywhere. Maybe they flew away in their spaceship. How sad. I guess I will have to eat their lunch by myself."
+
+Anna and Ben hear Mom. They think Mom is sad. They do not want Mom to be sad. They do not want Mom to eat their lunch. They like their lunch. They jump out of the box and shout, "Surprise! We are here, Mom! We did not fly away. We were hiding. We were playing a trick on you."
+
+Mom laughs. She hugs Anna and Ben. She says, "You are very clever, Anna and Ben. But you are also very hungry, I bet. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and have some lunch. You can play with your spaceship later."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are happy. They love Mom. They love their spaceship. They follow Mom to the kitchen. They have lunch. They have fun.
+Sam liked to play outside with his ball. He kicked it and threw it and ran after it. That was his exercise. He felt happy and strong when he played.
+
+One day, it rained a lot. Sam could not go outside. He looked at his ball and felt sad. He wanted to play, but he did not want to get wet. He asked his mom if he could play inside.
+
+His mom was thoughtful. She knew Sam liked to exercise. She said, "You can play inside, but you have to be careful. Do not break anything or make a mess. And you have to dry your ball if it gets wet."
+
+Sam nodded. He took his ball and went to the living room. He found a big towel and put it on the floor. He kicked his ball gently on the towel. He threw it softly in the air and caught it. He rolled it on his back and his tummy. He had fun and he did not get wet.
+
+His mom watched him and smiled. She was proud of Sam. He was a good boy. He found a way to play and exercise inside. He was careful and he dried his ball. He was happy and he made his mom happy too.
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They share a room and a bed. Every morning, their alarm makes a loud noise to wake them up for school. Sam hates the alarm. He likes to sleep and dream. Tom likes the alarm. He likes to get up and play.
+
+One night, Sam has an idea. He watches the alarm on the table. He waits until Tom falls asleep. Then he gets up and moves the alarm to the floor. He thinks Tom will not hear it in the morning. He smiles and goes back to bed.
+
+The next morning, the alarm makes a loud noise. Sam wakes up and covers his ears. He looks at the floor and sees the alarm. He thinks he is very clever. He looks at Tom and expects him to be asleep. But Tom is not asleep. He is awake and angry.
+
+"Sam, why did you move the alarm?" Tom asks. "Now I can't reach it to turn it off. And it hurts my ears. That was not nice. That was mean."
+
+Sam feels bad. He did not mean to make Tom angry. He did not think about how Tom would feel. He says he is sorry and gets up to turn off the alarm. He wishes he did not move it. He feels miserable. He hopes Tom will forgive him. He learns a lesson. He decides to never move the alarm again.
+Lily was restless. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to see the stars. She got out of her bed and went to the window. She saw the moon and many bright dots in the sky. She smiled.
+
+But then she saw something else. Something big and purple. It was flying in the air. It had wings and a long tail. It looked like a dragon. Lily was scared. She ran back to her bed and hid under the covers.
+
+She heard a loud roar. She peeked out from the covers. The purple dragon was outside her window. It was looking at her with big yellow eyes. It opened its mouth and breathed fire. Lily screamed.
+
+Her mom and dad came running into her room. They turned on the light and hugged her. They told her it was just a bad dream. There was no purple dragon. They said she was safe and they loved her.
+
+Lily calmed down. She snuggled with her mom and dad. They sang her a lullaby. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She did not see the purple dragon anymore.
+One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big hole in the ground. Mom said it was for a new underground train. Lily and Tom wanted to see the train, but mom said it was not ready yet.
+
+"Can we go inside the hole?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, it is too dark and dirty and dangerous," mom said. "You might get lost or hurt. You have to stay with me."
+
+Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to have an adventure. They looked at the hole and wondered what was inside.
+
+Then they saw a little mouse. The mouse was running out of the hole. It looked scared and hungry. Lily and Tom felt sorry for the mouse.
+
+"Look, a mouse!" Tom said. "Can we hold it?"
+
+Mom said they could, but they had to be gentle and careful. She gave them some bread crumbs to feed the mouse.
+
+Lily and Tom held the mouse in their hands. They stroked its fur and gave it some bread. The mouse ate the bread and squeaked. It seemed happy and friendly.
+
+"Hello, mouse," Lily said. "Do you live in the underground?"
+
+The mouse nodded. It told them that it had many friends and family in the underground, but they had to hide from the big machines and the loud noises. It said it was brave to come out and look for food.
+
+"You are very brave, mouse," Tom said. "And we are very thoughtful, because we gave you food and love."
+
+The mouse smiled. It thanked them for being kind and thoughtful. It said it had to go back to the underground, but it would always remember them.
+
+"Goodbye, mouse," Lily and Tom said. "We will always remember you too."
+
+They let the mouse go. It ran back to the hole and disappeared. Lily and Tom waved to the mouse. They felt happy and proud. They had made a new friend in the underground.
+Tim and Jen are best friends. They like to play with toys in Jen's room. Jen has a big rug on the floor. It is soft and has many colors.
+
+One day, they decide to play pretend. They grab some hats and scarves from Jen's closet. They put them on and say they are explorers. They want to find a treasure.
+
+They look around the room for clues. They see a map on the wall. It shows a big X on the rug. They think the treasure is under the rug. They run to the rug and lift it up.
+
+They find a box under the rug. It is shiny and has a lock. They need a key to open it. They look for the key. They see a string hanging from the ceiling. They pull the string. A key falls down.
+
+They use the key to open the box. They see many shiny things inside. They see coins, jewels, and a necklace. They are happy. They think they are rich.
+
+They share the treasure. They each take some coins and jewels. Jen gives Tim the necklace. She says he is a reliable friend. He always helps her and makes her laugh. Tim says thank you. He gives Jen a hug. He says she is a reliable friend too. He always has fun with her and trusts her.
+
+They put the treasure back in the box. They hide it under the rug. They say they will play pretend again tomorrow. They are happy. They are best friends.
+Lily liked to play with her mom's perfume. She thought it smelled nice and made her feel fancy. She would spray some on her dress and her hair and pretend she was a princess.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new bottle of perfume on her mom's dresser. It was pink and shiny and had a big bow on it. Lily wanted to try it, so she climbed on a chair and reached for it. But the bottle was too heavy and it slipped from her hand. It fell on the floor and broke with a loud crash.
+
+Lily was scared and ran to her room. She heard her mom come home and call her name. She did not answer. She hid under her bed and hoped her mom would not be mad.
+
+Her mom came to her room and saw the broken bottle. She smelled the perfume and knew what happened. She looked under the bed and saw Lily. She was not mad. She smiled and said, "Lily, are you okay? I'm not angry, but you should not play with my perfume. It is not a toy. It is for special occasions. And you are already fancy enough without it."
+
+She hugged Lily and lifted her up. She said, "I love you, Lily. You are my princess. But next time, please ask me before you touch my things. Okay?" Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I love you too." Her mom kissed her and said, "It's okay. Let's go clean up the mess and then we can have some cookies." Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please." They went to the kitchen and had some cookies and milk. Lily felt better and learned her lesson.
+Lily and Ben were playing with dolls. Lily liked to make up stories for the dolls and tell Ben what to do. Ben did not like that. He wanted to play his own way.
+
+"Ben, you have to make your doll say sorry to my doll. She was very mean to her," Lily said.
+
+"No, I don't. Your doll is bossy. She always tells my doll what to do. I don't like that," Ben said.
+
+"Yes, you do. It's my game and you have to follow my rules. Or you can quit playing with me," Lily said.
+
+Ben did not want to quit playing with Lily. He liked Lily, but he did not like her rules. He thought for a moment. Then he had an idea.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I will make my doll say sorry to your doll. But first, I have to fix her dress. She has a big stitch in it. Can you help me?" Ben said.
+
+Lily liked to help. She nodded and smiled. She took Ben's doll and looked at her dress. She saw the stitch. It was not a real stitch. It was a piece of yarn that Ben had tied around the doll's waist.
+
+"Ben, this is not a stitch. This is a trick. You tricked me," Lily said.
+
+Ben laughed. He took his doll back and ran away. He shouted, "I quit your game, Lily. Your game is boring. My game is fun."
+
+Lily was angry. She threw her doll on the floor and stomped her feet. She shouted, "Ben, come back. You can't quit my game. You have to play with me."
+
+But Ben did not come back. He found another friend to play with. A friend who did not have bossy dolls.
+Lily was a little octopus who loved to shine. She had many colors on her skin that she could change and make bright. She liked to show off her colors to the other fish and make them say wow. She wanted to be the most famous octopus in the sea.
+
+One day, she saw a big shark swimming near her. She thought he would be amazed by her colors and want to be her friend. She swam closer to him and made her skin shine like a rainbow. But the shark did not say wow. He said yum. He opened his mouth and tried to eat her.
+
+Lily was scared and quickly hid behind a rock. She made her skin dark and dull so the shark could not see her. She waited until the shark was gone and then swam away. She felt sad and silly. She realized that shining was not always good. Sometimes it could be dangerous.
+
+She went to find her friends, who were playing in a coral reef. They were happy to see her and invited her to join them. They did not care about her colors. They liked her for who she was. Lily learned that being famous was not important. Being kind and safe was. She still liked to shine, but only when it was fun and not when it was risky. She was a smart and happy octopus.
+Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She read them every day. She read them to her doll and her teddy bear. She read them to her baby brother, Tom. Tom was an infant. He could not talk or walk. He only cried and smiled.
+
+One day, Lily found a new book on the shelf. It was big and shiny. It had many pictures and words. Lily wanted to read it. She took it to her room. She did not ask Mom or Dad. She thought they would not mind.
+
+She opened the book and started to read. She liked the story. It was about a princess and a dragon. She read it to Tom, who was lying on the bed. Tom looked at the book. He reached out his hand. He wanted to touch the book.
+
+Lily did not like that. She said, "No, Tom. This is my book. You can't have it. You are too little. You will hurt it." She pulled the book away from Tom. Tom cried. He was sad and angry. He kicked his legs. He kicked the book.
+
+The book fell off the bed. It hit the floor. It made a loud noise. Lily screamed. She was scared and mad. She said, "Tom, you are bad. You hurt my book. I hate you." She jumped off the bed. She ran to the book. She picked it up.
+
+She did not see the lamp. The lamp was on the nightstand. It was next to the bed. Tom had kicked the lamp, too. The lamp was wobbly. It fell off the nightstand. It fell on Tom.
+
+Tom screamed. He was hurt. He was bleeding. Lily dropped the book. She looked at Tom. She was shocked and sorry. She said, "Tom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you." She ran to Tom. She tried to help him.
+
+But it was too late. Tom was not breathing. He was not smiling. He was not crying. He was dead. Lily cried. She was sad and guilty. She wished she had not read the book. She wished she had shared it with Tom. She wished she had been nice to him.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise. They ran to the room. They saw Lily and Tom. They saw the book and the lamp. They were horrified and heartbroken. They said, "Lily, what have you done? How could you do this? You killed your brother." They cried. They were angry and disappointed. They did not hug Lily. They did not comfort her. They called the police.
+
+The police came. They took Lily away. They took her to a bad place. She had to stay there for a long time. She did not have any books. She did not have any toys. She did not have any friends. She did not have Mom or Dad. She did not have Tom. She was alone and miserable. She was sorry and ashamed. She wished she could go back. She wished she could change everything. She wished she could read a happy story. But she could not. The end.
+Sam likes to help his dad polish the jeep. He gets a cloth and a bottle of spray. He sprays the spray on the cloth and rubs it on the jeep. He makes the jeep shiny and clean.
+
+One day, Sam sees a big scratch on the jeep. He is sad. He wants to fix the scratch. He sprays more spray on the cloth and rubs harder on the scratch. But the scratch does not go away. He rubs and rubs until his arm is weak.
+
+"Dad, dad, look!" Sam calls his dad. "I tried to polish the scratch, but it is still there. I am sorry, dad."
+
+Dad comes and sees the scratch. He smiles and hugs Sam. "It's okay, Sam. You did a good job. The scratch is not a big problem. It shows that the jeep is strong and brave. It can go on many adventures. And so can you."
+
+Sam feels better. He likes his dad and the jeep. He thinks they are both strong and brave. He wants to go on many adventures with them. He helps his dad finish polishing the jeep. Then they get in and drive away. They wave to mom and say, "We'll be back soon!"
+Anna and Ben wanted to play with their dog, Spot. They put a leash on Spot and went outside. They saw a big park with many trees and flowers. They were happy.
+
+"Let's run with Spot!" Anna said. "He likes to run and jump."
+
+"OK!" Ben said. "But we have to hold the leash. We don't want Spot to get lost."
+
+They ran with Spot and had fun. Spot barked and wagged his tail. He saw a squirrel and tried to chase it. Anna and Ben laughed.
+
+But then they saw a mean man. He was sitting on a bench. He had a big hat and a big nose. He looked at Anna, Ben and Spot. He frowned.
+
+"Go away!" he shouted. "Your dog is noisy and dirty. He is ruining the park. He is a terrible dog!"
+
+Anna and Ben were scared. They did not like the mean man. They did not understand why he was so angry. Spot was not a terrible dog. He was a good dog. He was their friend.
+
+They hugged Spot and ran away from the mean man. They found another place to play. They met some nice kids who liked dogs. They shared their toys and snacks. They made new friends.
+
+They forgot about the mean man. They were happy again.
+Sam and Tom were brothers who lived in a small town. They liked to play with their ball in the park, but sometimes they fought over it. One day, they had a big fight and Sam got very angry. He wanted to keep the ball for himself and he did not want to share with Tom.
+
+"Give me the ball, Sam! It is my turn!" Tom said.
+
+"No, it is mine! Go away!" Sam said.
+
+He threw the ball at Tom, but he missed. The ball flew over the fence and hit a car. The car made a loud noise and the driver got out. He was very mad and he looked at the ball.
+
+"Who did this? Who threw this ball at my car?" he shouted.
+
+Sam and Tom were scared. They knew they did something bad. They tried to run away, but the driver saw them. He ran after them and caught them. He was very frustrated and he wanted to teach them a lesson.
+
+He took them to their home and told their mom what they did. Their mom was very sad and angry. She said they had to pay for the damage and they had to say sorry to the driver. She also said they had to stay in their room for a week and they could not play with their ball or anything else.
+
+Sam and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not fought over the ball and they had shared it nicely. They learned that fighting is bad and it can cause trouble. They also learned that they should respect other people's things and not strike them. They hoped the driver and their mom would forgive them someday.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games. One day, they found a big letter on their bed. It was from their grandma, who lived far away.
+
+"Wow, a letter from grandma!" Lily said. "She always sends us nice things. Let's open it!"
+
+Ben nodded and helped Lily tear the envelope. Inside, they found a card with a picture of a pumpkin and a spider. The card said: "Happy Halloween, my sweeties! I hope you have fun and get lots of candy. Don't be scared of the spooky things. They are just pretend. I love you very much. Grandma."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and hugged the card. They loved their grandma and missed her. They wanted to call her and say thank you.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise outside their door. It sounded like a growl and a roar. They felt scared and ran to their closet. They hid behind their clothes and held each other.
+
+"What is that?" Lily whispered.
+
+"I don't know," Ben whispered back. "Maybe it's a monster. Maybe it's a ghost. Maybe it's a witch."
+
+They shivered and wished their mom and dad were home. They wished their grandma was here. They wished the noise would go away.
+
+They waited and waited. The noise got louder and louder. It came closer and closer. It reached their door and knocked hard. Lily and Ben screamed.
+
+"Boo!" a voice said. "It's me, your uncle Jack! I came to visit you and bring you some treats. Open the door, please!"
+
+Lily and Ben peeked out of the closet. They saw their uncle Jack standing outside their door. He was wearing a mask and a costume. He was holding a bag of candy and a balloon. He was smiling and laughing.
+
+"Uncle Jack?" Lily said.
+
+"Uncle Jack!" Ben said.
+
+They ran to the door and opened it. They hugged their uncle Jack and took off his mask. He hugged them back and gave them the candy and the balloon.
+
+"Sorry, kids, I didn't mean to scare you," he said. "I just wanted to surprise you and have some fun. Do you like my costume?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at his costume. He was dressed as a lion. He had a furry mane and a long tail. He had big teeth and claws.
+
+"It's a nice costume, uncle Jack," Lily said. "But it's very scary."
+
+"Yeah, it's very scary, uncle Jack," Ben said. "We thought you were a real lion."
+
+Uncle Jack chuckled and ruffled their hair.
+
+"Well, I'm not a real lion, I'm just your uncle Jack," he said. "And you know what? There's nothing to be afraid of. Halloween is a time to have fun and pretend. The spooky things are not real. They are just costumes and decorations. You can stretch your imagination and be anything you want. You can be brave and strong and smart. You can be a princess or a pirate or a superhero. You can be anything you want."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They felt better and less scared. They thanked their uncle Jack for the candy and the balloon. They showed him the card from their grandma. They asked him to stay and play with them.
+
+Uncle Jack agreed and stayed and played with them. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They forgot about the scary things and enjoyed the happy things. They learned that Halloween was not so bad after all. They learned that they could stretch their imagination and be anything they want. They learned that they had a lot of love and support from their family. They learned that they had nothing to be afraid of.
+Tom did not like haircuts. He did not like the noise of the scissors and the comb. He did not like the way his hair felt after. He liked his hair long and messy.
+
+One day, his mom said, "Tom, you need a haircut. Your hair is too long and it covers your eyes. Come on, let's go to the barber."
+
+Tom said, "No, mom, no haircut. I like my hair. Please, mom, no haircut."
+
+His mom said, "Tom, you have to try. Haircuts are not bad. They make you look neat and handsome. The barber is nice and gentle. He will give you a sticker and a lollipop if you are good. Please, Tom, try."
+
+Tom was scared, but he loved his mom. He did not want to make her sad. He said, "OK, mom, I will try. But I don't like haircuts."
+
+They went to the barber. The barber smiled and said, "Hello, Tom. You are a big boy. What kind of haircut do you want?"
+
+Tom said, "I don't want a haircut. I want my hair."
+
+The barber said, "Don't worry, Tom. I will only cut a little bit. You will still have your hair. Just sit still and relax. It will be over soon."
+
+The barber put a cape around Tom's neck and started to cut his hair. Tom felt the scissors snip snip snip. He felt the comb tug tug tug. He closed his eyes and tried not to cry.
+
+The barber said, "You are doing great, Tom. You are very brave. Look, you have a wide smile on your face. You look happy."
+
+Tom opened his eyes and looked in the mirror. He saw his haircut. It was short and neat. He did not look like himself. He did not like it.
+
+He said, "Mom, I don't like my haircut. I want my hair back. I want my hair back."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "Tom, I'm sorry you don't like your haircut. But it will grow back soon. You still have your hair. And you look very handsome. I'm proud of you for trying. You are a good boy."
+
+She gave him a kiss and a sticker and a lollipop. Tom took them and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. But I don't like haircuts."
+Tim and Jen were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big tree with many green leaves. They wanted to feed the leaves to the ducks in the pond.
+
+"Look, Jen, the leaves are so big and sweet. The ducks will love them," Tim said.
+
+"Let's pick some and take them to the pond," Jen said.
+
+They picked many leaves and ran to the pond. They saw some ducks swimming and quacking. They threw the leaves into the water and waited for the ducks to eat them.
+
+But the ducks did not eat the leaves. They ignored them and swam away. Tim and Jen were confused and sad.
+
+"Why don't the ducks like the leaves?" Tim asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are not hungry. Or maybe they don't like sweet things," Jen said.
+
+Then they saw a man walking with a bag of bread. He stopped by the pond and threw some bread crumbs into the water. The ducks quickly came and ate the bread. They quacked happily and followed the man.
+
+"Look, Tim, the ducks like bread. Bread is not sweet. It is soft and crunchy," Jen said.
+
+"Maybe we should have brought bread instead of leaves. Leaves are good for trees, but not for ducks," Tim said.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that different animals like different foods. And they learned that they should not waste food that they don't need. They decided to use the leaves for something else. They made a big pile of leaves and jumped on it. They had fun and laughed. They were happy.
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a lot of dolls, but her favorite one was Will. Will had brown hair and blue eyes and a nice smile. Lily always took Will with her wherever she went.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought Will with her and put him on a bench while she went to play on the swings. She was having fun, but she missed Will. She wanted to talk to him and hug him.
+
+She ran back to the bench, but she saw a big boy holding Will. The big boy was laughing and pulling Will's arms and legs. Lily felt scared and angry. She shouted, "Stop! That's my Will! Give him back!"
+
+The big boy looked at Lily and said, "No, he's mine now. He's a silly doll. Watch this!" He threw Will on the ground and stepped on him. Lily heard a loud crack. She saw Will's head break off his body. She felt a big pain in her heart.
+
+She started to cry and ran to Will. She picked up his head and his body and hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, Will. I love you. You're not a silly doll. You're my best friend."
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to her. She saw what the big boy did and was very angry. She said, "How dare you break her doll? That was very mean and rude. You should say sorry and go away."
+
+The big boy was scared of Lily's mom. He said, "Sorry, sorry, sorry." He ran away and did not come back.
+
+Lily's mom hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. I'm sorry your Will got broken. We can fix him. We can glue his head back and sew his arms and legs. He will be fine. He will always be your best friend."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You're the best. I love you and Will." She kissed her mom and Will and felt happy again.
+Lily was a lazy cat. She liked to sleep on the sofa all day and do nothing. She did not like to play with the toys that her owner gave her. She did not like to chase the birds or the mice that came to the garden. She did not like to wash her fur or scratch her claws. She only liked to sleep and eat.
+
+One day, her owner brought home a new friend. It was a green parrot. The parrot was very noisy and colorful. He liked to talk and sing and fly around the house. He liked to play with the toys and the plants and the books. He liked to tease Lily and call her names.
+
+"Lazy cat, lazy cat, wake up and play!" the parrot said. "You are so boring and fat, you need some fun today!"
+
+Lily ignored the parrot. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. But the parrot did not stop. He flew over her head and pulled her tail. He pecked her ears and tickled her nose. He made loud noises and laughed at her.
+
+Lily was very angry. She wanted the parrot to go away. She opened her eyes and hissed at him. She showed him her teeth and claws. She tried to catch him and bite him. But the parrot was too fast and smart. He dodged her attacks and flew away. He hid behind the curtains and the lamps and the pillows. He continued to mock her and annoy her.
+
+"Lazy cat, lazy cat, you are so slow and weak!" the parrot said. "You can't catch me, you can't touch me, you are just a freak!"
+
+Lily was very tired. She gave up and lay down on the sofa. She hoped the parrot would leave her alone. But the parrot had one more trick. He found a feather and flew over Lily. He dropped the feather on her nose and waited.
+
+Lily felt something tickle her nose. She opened her eyes and saw the feather. She tried to blow it away, but it stuck to her nose. She felt a strange feeling in her nose. She felt a big sneeze coming.
+
+"Ah... ah... ah... CHOO!" Lily sneezed. She sneezed so hard that she flew off the sofa and landed on the floor. She sneezed so loud that she scared the parrot and made him drop his feather. She sneezed so much that she felt dizzy and sick.
+
+The parrot saw what happened and felt sorry. He realized he had gone too far. He flew down to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, lazy cat, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just trying to have some fun, I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't be mad at me, please don't hate me. Can we be friends, can we be friends?"
+
+Lily looked at the parrot and sighed. She was still angry, but she was also lonely. She did not have any other friends in the house. She decided to give the parrot a chance. She said, "Okay, okay, we can be friends. But you have to be nice to me, you have to be nice. You can't pull my tail or peck my ears or tickle my nose. You can't make loud noises or laugh at me or call me names. You have to be quiet and gentle and kind. Can you do that, can you do that?"
+
+The parrot nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I can do that, I can do that. I will be nice to you, I will be nice. I will be quiet and gentle and kind. I will share my toys and my plants and my books. I will sing you songs and tell you stories and keep you company. I will be your friend, I will be your friend."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you, green parrot, thank you. You are not so bad, you are not so bad. You are noisy and colorful and smart. You are fun and playful and brave. You are my friend, you are my friend."
+
+The parrot smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, lazy cat, you're welcome. You are not so boring, you are not so boring. You are sleepy and fluffy and cute. You are calm and cozy and sweet. You are my friend, you are my friend."
+
+And so, Lily and the parrot became friends. They learned to respect each other and enjoy each other. They still had some fights and some jokes, but they always made up and said sorry. They slept on the sofa together and ate from the same bowl. They chased the birds and the mice together and played with the toys. They washed their fur and feathers together and scratched their claws and be
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors. Lily likes orange blocks the best. Ben likes blue blocks the best.
+
+One day, they want to build a tower with their blocks. Lily says, "Let's use orange blocks. They are pretty and bright." Ben says, "No, let's use blue blocks. They are cool and calm." They disagree. They do not want to use the same blocks.
+
+They start to build their own towers with their own blocks. Lily builds a tall tower with orange blocks. Ben builds a wide tower with blue blocks. They are not happy. They do not talk to each other.
+
+A person comes to see their towers. The person is their teacher. She says, "Wow, you have made two beautiful towers. They are different, but they are both nice. Can I take a picture of them?" Lily and Ben look at each other. They feel a little silly. They say, "Yes, you can take a picture. But can we also build a tower together?"
+
+The teacher says, "Of course, you can. That is a great idea. You can use both orange and blue blocks. They can make a colorful tower." Lily and Ben smile. They agree. They start to share their blocks and build a tower together. They are happy. They talk to each other. They have fun.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a blue car, a blue ball and a blue teddy bear. He loved his blue things very much and always took them to bed with him.
+
+One night, Tom was getting ready to sleep. He brushed his teeth, put on his pajamas and hugged his mom and dad. Then he went to his room and looked for his blue things. But he could not find them anywhere. He looked under his bed, in his closet and in his drawers. He felt very upset and started to cry.
+
+Mom and dad heard Tom crying and came to his room. They asked him what was wrong and he told them he could not find his blue things. They helped him look for them, but they could not find them either. They wondered where they could be.
+
+Then they heard a noise from the living room. It was the dog, Spot. He was chewing on something. They went to see what it was and they saw that it was Tom's blue things. Spot had taken them from Tom's room and made them his toys. He had bitten them and made them dirty and torn.
+
+Tom was very angry and sad when he saw what Spot had done. He shouted at Spot and tried to take his blue things back. But Spot growled and barked and did not want to give them up. Mom and dad told Tom to calm down and said they would buy him new blue things tomorrow. They took Spot to his bed and told him he was a bad dog.
+
+Tom did not want new blue things. He wanted his old blue things. He did not want to sleep without them. He felt very upset and cried some more. Mom and dad hugged him and said they were sorry. They told him they loved him and that he could sleep with them tonight. They took him to their bed and tucked him in. They sang him a song and kissed him good night. Tom felt a little better and closed his eyes. He hoped that tomorrow he would find some new blue things that he would love as much as his old ones. He hoped that Spot would not take them again. He hoped that he would have a good sleep.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they found a shiny rock under a bush. It was smooth and round and sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow, look at this rock!" Anna said. "It's so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see it?" Ben asked. He reached for the rock, but he was clumsy and dropped it. The rock rolled down the hill and into a pond.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna cried. "You lost our rock!"
+
+"Sorry, Anna," Ben said. "I didn't mean to. Maybe we can get it back."
+
+They ran after the rock, but the pond was deep and muddy. They could not see the rock in the water.
+
+"Maybe it's gone forever," Anna said sadly.
+
+"Maybe not," Ben said. "Maybe it's a magic rock. Maybe it can make our dreams come true."
+
+"What do you mean?" Anna asked.
+
+"Maybe if we wish really hard, the rock will come back to us," Ben said. "Or maybe it will give us something else we want."
+
+"Like what?" Anna asked.
+
+"Like a new bike, or a puppy, or a trip to the zoo," Ben said.
+
+"Or a rainbow, or a cake, or a princess dress," Anna said.
+
+They closed their eyes and wished with all their hearts. They hoped the rock would hear them and make them happy.
+
+The next day, they woke up and looked out the window. They saw a big surprise in their yard. There was a new bike, a puppy, a trip to the zoo, a rainbow, a cake, and a princess dress. And there was also the shiny rock, sitting on the grass.
+
+"Wow!" Anna and Ben said. "It worked! The rock is magic!"
+
+They ran outside and hugged the rock. They thanked it for making their dreams come true. They played with their new things and had a lot of fun. They decided to keep the rock as their special friend. They never lost it again.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play outside in the garden. They have a big tree with a swing and a slide. They also have a small house made of wood. They pretend it is their castle.
+
+One day, they are playing in the house when they hear a noise. It is a little bird. The bird is hurt. It has a broken wing. Tom and Lily are sad. They want to help the bird.
+
+They take the bird inside the house. They find a box and some soft cloth. They make a bed for the bird. They give it some water and some seeds. They talk to the bird in a quiet voice.
+
+"Hello, bird. We are Tom and Lily. We are your friends. Don't be scared. We will take care of you. You will get better soon."
+
+The bird looks at them with its bright eyes. It chirps softly. It seems to say thank you.
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They decide to name the bird Blue. They play with Blue every day. They also bathe Blue with a wet sponge. They are gentle and careful. They don't want to hurt Blue more.
+
+After a few weeks, Blue's wing heals. It can fly again. Tom and Lily are proud. They also feel a little sad. They love Blue. They don't want to say goodbye.
+
+They take Blue outside the house. They hold him in their hands. They kiss him and hug him.
+
+"Goodbye, Blue. We will miss you. You are a brave and beautiful bird. We hope you find your family and friends. Come back and visit us sometimes."
+
+They let go of Blue. He flaps his wings and flies away. He circles around the tree and the house. He sings a happy song. He seems to say thank you and goodbye.
+
+Tom and Lily wave at him. They smile and cry. They watch him until he disappears in the sky. They go back to the house. They hug each other.
+
+They know they did a good thing. They know they will always remember Blue. They know Blue will always remember them. They are Tom and Lily. They are brother and sister. They are kind and brave. They are happy.
+Anna loved the sea. She liked to watch the fish and the birds and the boats. Sometimes, she saw big animals in the water. They were called whales. Anna wanted to see a whale up close. She asked her dad to take her on a boat.
+
+Dad said no. He said the sea was too deep and too cold and too far. He said whales were too big and too wild and too scary. He said Anna was too small and too young and too silly. He said they could go to the zoo instead.
+
+Anna was sad and angry. She did not want to go to the zoo. She wanted to see a whale. She refused to listen to her dad. She ran away from him and hid behind a rock. She saw a small boat on the shore. She had an idea.
+
+She sneaked into the boat and untied the rope. She grabbed an oar and pushed the boat into the water. She was happy and excited. She thought she was very clever and brave. She did not see the dark clouds and the strong waves. She did not hear her dad calling her name.
+
+She rowed and rowed until she was far from the land. She looked around and saw nothing but water. She felt lonely and scared. She wished she had listened to her dad. She saw a big shadow under the water. She hoped it was a whale. She hoped it was a wise whale. She hoped it would help her.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys. They liked to design new things with their blocks, crayons and stickers. They made houses, cars, rockets and animals.
+
+"Look, I made a rhinoceros!" Tom said, showing Lily his block with a horn sticker on it. "It is big and strong and has a sharp horn."
+
+"That is very good, Tom," Lily said. "But be careful with the horn. It can hurt someone if you poke them with it."
+
+"I know, I know," Tom said. "I will not poke anyone with it. I will be nice to my rhinoceros."
+
+They played some more, making noises and stories with their toys. Then they heard their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+"Come on, kids, it is time to eat," mom said. "Put away your toys and wash your hands."
+
+"OK, mom," Tom and Lily said. They picked up their toys and put them in their boxes. Tom gave his rhinoceros a hug and said, "Bye, rhinoceros. I will play with you later. You are my friend."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Bye, rhinoceros. You are very cool. But be careful with your horn."
+
+They ran to the kitchen, where mom had made them sandwiches and juice. They ate and told mom about their designs. Mom praised them and said, "You are very creative, Tom and Lily. I am proud of you."
+Anna likes to dance. She dances every day. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She is very flexible. She can bend and twist and jump and spin.
+
+One day, Anna finds a big orange in the kitchen. She wants to dance with it. She holds the orange in her hands and dances around the table. She tosses the orange in the air and catches it. She rolls the orange on the floor and kicks it.
+
+But then, the orange breaks. Juice and bits of orange come out. Anna is sad. She likes the orange. She does not want to waste it. She stops dancing and picks up the orange.
+
+She sees her mom in the door. Her mom is not angry. She smiles and hugs Anna. She says, "It's okay, Anna. You can still eat the orange. And I have more oranges for you. Do you want to make some orange juice with me?"
+
+Anna nods and smiles. She likes orange juice. She likes her mom. She says, "Yes, please. And can we dance after that?"
+
+Her mom says, "Of course. We can dance together. You are my little dancer."
+
+They go to the sink and wash their hands. They squeeze the oranges and make juice. They drink the juice and feel happy. Then they dance in the kitchen. They dance with joy. They dance with love.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in nature. They see many things, like birds, flowers, and bugs. They also like to ask many questions.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Anna and Ben want to feed the ducks. They ask their mom for some bread.
+
+"Mom, can we give some bread to the ducks?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And don't yell at the ducks. They might get scared," their mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They take some bread and walk to the pond. They see a lot of ducks. Some are white, some are brown, some are black. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the ducks. The ducks come closer and eat the bread. Anna and Ben are happy.
+
+But then, they see a big goose. The goose is gray and has a long neck. The goose is nosy. It wants all the bread. It swims to Anna and Ben and hisses at them. It tries to bite their fingers.
+
+"Go away, goose! This is for the ducks!" Anna yells.
+
+"Ouch! That hurts! Stop it, goose!" Ben yells.
+
+Their mom hears them yell. She runs to them and scares the goose away. She hugs Anna and Ben and checks their fingers.
+
+"Are you okay, my loves? Did the goose hurt you?" she asks.
+
+"We are okay, mom. The goose was mean. It wanted all the bread. It was nosy," Anna says.
+
+"Yes, the goose was nosy. But you were brave. You yelled at the goose. You protected the ducks," their mom says.
+
+"Thank you, mom. We love you. And we love the ducks. But not the goose," Ben says.
+
+Their mom smiles. She gives them more bread and kisses their fingers. They go back to the pond and feed the ducks. They are careful not to yell too loud. They enjoy nature. They are happy.
+Anna likes to swing on the big swing in the park. She feels happy when she goes up and down in the air. She likes to see the trees and the birds and the sky. Sometimes she swings with her friend Ben, and they laugh and sing.
+
+One day, Anna sees a lady in the park. The lady has a basket full of green things. Anna is curious and goes to see what they are. The lady smiles and says they are herbs. She says herbs are good for cooking and making tea. She gives Anna a mint leaf to smell. Anna likes the fresh smell and says thank you.
+
+The lady says she is grateful for the herbs. She says they grow in her garden and she takes care of them. She says they help her feel healthy and happy. She says she likes to share them with people who are nice and friendly. She asks Anna if she wants to try some tea with herbs. Anna says yes and follows the lady to a bench.
+
+The lady pours some hot water from a flask into a cup. She adds some herbs and a spoon of honey. She stirs the tea and gives it to Anna. Anna blows on the tea and takes a sip. She likes the sweet and minty taste. She feels warm and cozy. She says the tea is yummy and the lady is kind.
+
+The lady smiles and says she is glad Anna likes the tea. She says she has more herbs in her basket and she can give some to Anna's mom or dad. She says they can use them for cooking or making tea at home. Anna says she would like that and runs to get her mom. She tells her mom about the lady and the herbs and the tea. Her mom says hello to the lady and thanks her for the herbs. She says they look lovely and smell good. She says they will try them later.
+
+Anna hugs the lady and says goodbye. She says she is grateful for the herbs and the tea and the lady. She says she hopes to see her again. The lady hugs Anna and says goodbye. She says she is grateful for Anna and her mom and their friendship. She says she hopes to see them again too. Anna and her mom go back to the swing. Anna swings high and happy. She thinks of the lady and the herbs and the tea. She feels grateful for the good things in the park.
+Sam and Ben are brothers who like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is the laser gun. The laser gun can make bright lights and funny sounds when they press the button.
+
+One day, Sam and Ben are playing with the laser gun in their room. Sam wants to shoot the laser at the wall, but Ben wants to shoot it at the window. They start to fight over the laser gun and pull it from each other.
+
+"Give me the laser gun, Sam! I want to shoot the window!" Ben says.
+
+"No, Ben! I want to shoot the wall! It's my turn!" Sam says.
+
+They pull harder and harder, until the laser gun breaks in half. The bright lights and funny sounds stop. Sam and Ben are very sad and angry. They throw the broken pieces on the floor and kick them.
+
+"Look what you did, Sam! You broke the laser gun!" Ben says.
+
+"It's your fault, Ben! You pulled too hard!" Sam says.
+
+They start to kick each other and cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She sees the broken laser gun, the kicked pieces, and the crying brothers. She is very upset and disappointed.
+
+"Sam and Ben, what happened here? Why did you break the laser gun and kick each other?" Mom says.
+
+Sam and Ben stop crying and look at Mom. They feel ashamed and sorry.
+
+"We were fighting over the laser gun, Mom. We wanted to shoot different things. We pulled it too hard and it broke. Then we kicked it and each other. We are sorry, Mom." Sam and Ben say.
+
+Mom sighs and hugs them.
+
+"Sam and Ben, I'm glad you are sorry, but you should not fight over the laser gun or any toy. Toys are meant to be shared and enjoyed, not fought over and broken. And you should never kick each other or anything. Kicking hurts and damages. You are brothers and you should love and respect each other. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Sam and Ben nod and hug Mom.
+
+"We understand, Mom. We love you and each other. We will not fight or kick anymore. We will share and play nicely. Can you fix the laser gun, Mom?" Sam and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles and kisses them.
+
+"I love you too, Sam and Ben. I will try to fix the laser gun, but I can't promise it will work again. Maybe you can play with something else for now. How about we make some yummy cookies together?" Mom says.
+
+Sam and Ben smile and clap.
+
+"Yay, cookies! We love cookies! Thank you, Mom!" Sam and Ben say.
+
+They follow Mom to the kitchen and help her make some yummy cookies. They forget about the laser gun and the fight. They have fun and eat the cookies. They are happy and grateful. They learn to share and play nicely. They are good brothers.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to wonder about many things. She wondered why the sky was blue, why the stars twinkled, and why the birds sang. She also wondered what it was like to live in a big house with many toys and clothes and books. She thought that was a luxury that only some people had.
+
+One day, she met a boy named Sam who lived in a big house with many toys and clothes and books. He invited her to play with him and showed her his room. Lila was amazed by all the things he had and wished she had them too. She asked him, "Do you like living here? Do you have fun with all these things?"
+
+Sam shrugged and said, "Not really. I have too many things and I get bored of them. I don't have many friends to play with and my parents are always busy. I wonder what it is like to live in a small house with a happy family and a simple life. I think that is a luxury that only some people have."
+
+Lila was surprised by his answer and felt sorry for him. She said, "You know, you can have a happy family and a simple life too. You don't need so many things to be happy. You just need to love and be loved, to share and be grateful, and to wonder and learn. That is the real luxury that everyone can have."
+
+Sam smiled and said, "You are right, Lila. You are very smart and kind. You have taught me something important today. Thank you for being my friend. Do you want to play with me and my toys?"
+
+Lila nodded and said, "Yes, I do. But only if you play with me and my toys too. I have a brilliant toy that I made myself. It is a cardboard box that can be anything you want. You can wonder and imagine with it. Do you want to try?"
+
+Sam agreed and said, "Yes, I do. That sounds like fun. Let's go to your house and play with your cardboard box. I wonder what we can make it into."
+
+Lila and Sam held hands and walked to her house. They played with the cardboard box and had a wonderful time. They learned that the best luxury is not having many things, but having a good friend. And they learned that the best way to wonder is to use their imagination. They were very happy.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, bridges, houses and more.
+
+One day, they decide to have a contest. They want to see who can make the tallest tower with their blocks. They each have a pile of blocks to use. They start to build their towers on the floor.
+
+"Look at my tower!" Tom says. "It is very high and strong. I add more and more blocks to make it taller."
+
+"My tower is better!" Sam says. "It is very pretty and colorful. I match the blocks by their colors to make it nicer."
+
+They keep building their towers, but they do not look at each other. They only look at their own towers. They want to win the contest. They are fierce and proud.
+
+But then, something bad happens. A big wind comes and blows through the window. It makes the towers shake and fall. The blocks scatter all over the floor. Tom and Sam are sad and angry. They cry and shout.
+
+"It is your fault!" Tom says. "Your tower was too close to mine. It made mine fall."
+
+"No, it is your fault!" Sam says. "Your tower was too heavy and big. It made mine fall."
+
+They do not want to be friends anymore. They turn away from each other.
+
+But then, they see something. They see a little girl in the corner. She is their sister, Lily. She is smiling and clapping. She has some blocks in her hands. She has made a small tower with them. It is not very high or pretty, but it is still standing.
+
+"Look at my tower!" Lily says. "It is very fun and easy. I add and match the blocks by their shapes to make it stable."
+
+Tom and Sam look at her. They feel ashamed. They realize that they were wrong. They were too fierce and proud. They did not have fun or share. They did not care about each other.
+
+They go to Lily and hug her. They say sorry to each other. They decide to play together again. They help each other to pick up the blocks. They make a new tower with Lily. They add and match the blocks by their colors and shapes. They make it high and pretty and stable. They have fun and laugh.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn that playing with blocks is not a contest. It is a game. They learn that being friends is more important than being the best. They learn that adding and matching are not only ways to build towers, but also ways to build friendship.
+Lisa and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. They have a big wardrobe with many clothes. Sometimes they pretend to be different people and dress up.
+
+One day, Lisa and Tom want to order pizza for lunch. They call the pizza place and say what they want.
+
+"Hello, pizza place. Can we have one cheese pizza and one pepperoni pizza, please?" Lisa says.
+
+"Sure, what is your address?" the pizza man says.
+
+Lisa tells him their address. She also says, "We are twins. We have a big wardrobe with many clothes. We like to dress up."
+
+The pizza man says, "That sounds fun. I will be there soon."
+
+Lisa and Tom hang up the phone. They go to their wardrobe and pick out some clothes. Lisa puts on a pink dress and a crown. She pretends to be a princess. Tom puts on a green shirt and a hat. He pretends to be a pirate.
+
+They play in their room until they hear the doorbell. They run to the door and open it. They see the pizza man holding two boxes.
+
+"Hello, twins. Here is your pizza. You look very unique. Are you a princess and a pirate?" the pizza man says.
+
+"Yes, we are. Thank you for the pizza. Do you want to see our wardrobe?" Lisa says.
+
+"Maybe another time. I have to go. Enjoy your pizza. Bye, twins." the pizza man says.
+
+He leaves and Lisa and Tom take the pizza to their room. They eat and play some more. They are happy. They have a big wardrobe with many clothes. They can be anyone they want.
+Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was the fireplace. They liked to watch the flames and feel the warmth. Sometimes, their mom would let them roast marshmallows on a stick.
+
+One day, when their mom was busy in the kitchen, Tom and Sue decided to play with the fireplace. They found some old paper and wood in a box and threw them into the fire. They thought it was fun to see the fire grow bigger and brighter.
+
+"Look, Sue, the paper is rotting in the fire!" Tom said, pointing at the black and brown bits.
+
+"Wow, Tom, the wood is making a lot of noise!" Sue said, listening to the crackling and popping.
+
+They did not notice that some of the paper and wood flew out of the fireplace and landed on the carpet. They did not smell the smoke or see the flames spreading. They were careless and did not pay attention.
+
+"Tom! Sue! What are you doing?" their mom shouted, running into the living room. She saw the fire on the carpet and grabbed a blanket to put it out. She was scared and angry.
+
+"Mom, we were just playing with the fireplace!" Tom and Sue said, looking at their mom with wide eyes.
+
+"Playing with the fireplace? That is very dangerous! You could have burned the house down! You could have hurt yourselves or me! You were very careless and naughty!" their mom said, hugging them tightly. She was glad they were safe, but also very upset.
+
+"Sorry, mom, we did not mean to cause trouble. We did not know the fire could escape. We will not play with the fireplace again. We will be careful and listen to you." Tom and Sue said, feeling sorry and ashamed.
+
+Their mom sighed and kissed them on the forehead. She was still mad, but she also loved them very much.
+
+"Come on, let's go to the kitchen and have some milk and cookies. And then we will clean up this mess. And then we will talk about how to be safe and smart around the fire." she said, leading them to the door.
+
+Tom and Sue nodded and followed their mom. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that fire is not a toy, and that being careless can cause harm. They learned to respect the fireplace and to obey their mom.
+Lila was a little dog who loved to play with her human, Max. Max would throw a ball for Lila, and Lila would run and catch it and bring it back. They would do this over and over, until Lila was tired and Max was tired too.
+
+"Good girl, Lila!" Max said, and he gave Lila a hug. "You are so fast and smart. Do you want to go inside and rest?"
+
+Lila wagged her tail and licked Max's face. She wanted to go inside and rest, but she also wanted to hold the ball. She liked the ball. It was her favorite toy.
+
+Max saw that Lila was holding the ball in her mouth. He smiled and said, "OK, Lila, you can keep the ball. But let's go inside and have some water and a snack. You must be thirsty and hungry."
+
+Lila nodded and followed Max inside. She still held the ball in her mouth, but she let Max take it when they reached the kitchen. Max filled a bowl with water and another with kibble. He put them on the floor for Lila. He also got a glass of water and a cookie for himself. He sat on the floor next to Lila and said, "Cheers, Lila. You are the best friend ever."
+
+Lila drank some water and ate some kibble. She looked at Max and wagged her tail. She agreed. He was the best friend ever. She snuggled up to him and put her head on his lap. He stroked her fur and said, "I love you, Lila. You make me happy."
+
+Lila closed her eyes and sighed. She loved Max too. He made her happy. She felt warm and safe and cozy. She was not tired anymore. She was happy.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys. One day, Lily wants to play with the red car. But Max has the red car. He does not want to share.
+
+"Give me the red car, Max!" Lily says. "It is my turn!"
+
+"No, it is not!" Max says. "I had it first!"
+
+They pull the red car from each other. They are angry and loud. Mom hears them and comes to their room.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+"Lily wants my red car!" Max says.
+
+"But it is my turn!" Lily says.
+
+Mom looks at the red car. She sees a sticker on it. The sticker has Lily's name.
+
+"Look, Max," Mom says. "This is Lily's car. She got it for her birthday last week. You have your own car. It is blue. Where is it?"
+
+Max looks around. He sees his blue car under the bed. He feels bad. He forgot that Lily's car was hers.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Max says. "I did not remember. Here is your car."
+
+He gives the red car to Lily. Lily smiles. She is happy.
+
+"Thank you, Max," Lily says. "You are a good brother. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Max nods. He is happy too.
+
+"OK, Lily," Max says. "Let's play. But can we take turns?"
+
+Lily agrees. They play nicely with their cars. Mom is proud of them.
+
+"You are both helpful and kind," Mom says. "I'm glad you can share and order. Now, who wants a snack?"
+Lily loved to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her toys, she danced with her mom, she danced with her dad. She danced when she was happy, she danced when she was sad, she danced when she was bored.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big plane in the sky. She pointed and said, "Look, mom, a plane! Can we go on a plane?" Mom smiled and said, "Maybe someday, Lily. Planes are very fun, but they are also very far. We need to save money and plan ahead if we want to go on a plane."
+
+Lily nodded, but she still wanted to go on a plane. She wondered what it was like to fly in the air, to see the clouds, to visit new places. She dreamed of dancing on a plane, with new friends and new music.
+
+A few months later, mom and dad had a surprise for Lily. They said, "Lily, we have some good news. We have saved enough money and we have planned ahead. We are going on a plane!" Lily was so happy, she jumped and clapped and hugged her parents. She said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't wait to go on a plane!"
+
+They packed their bags and went to the airport. Lily was very excited, but also a little nervous. She had never been on a plane before. She held mom's hand and dad's hand as they boarded the plane. She looked out the window and saw the wings, the engines, the wheels. She said, "Wow, this plane is so big and so cool!"
+
+The plane took off and Lily felt a funny feeling in her tummy. She giggled and said, "We are flying, we are flying!" She looked out the window again and saw the sky, the clouds, the sun. She said, "Look, mom, look, dad, it's so beautiful!"
+
+Mom and dad smiled and said, "Yes, Lily, it is. We are so proud of you for being brave and curious. You are a great traveler and a great dancer. We love you very much."
+
+Lily felt warm and happy. She said, "I love you too, mom and dad. And I love planes. Can we dance on the plane?" Mom and dad laughed and said, "Why not, Lily? Let's dance on the plane!"
+
+They put on their headphones and played some music. They danced on their seats, they danced in the aisle, they danced with the other passengers. They danced with joy, they danced with gratitude, they danced with love.
+
+The plane landed and Lily said, "That was the best plane ride ever! Can we do it again?" Mom and dad said, "Maybe someday, Lily. But for now, let's enjoy our trip. We have a lot to see and do and learn. And of course, a lot to dance!"
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: The story teaches the value of being brave, curious, grateful, and loving. It also shows the importance of saving money and planning ahead for big goals.
+
+Foreshadowing or setup and payoff: The story foreshadows Lily's desire to go on a plane and her dream of dancing on a plane in the first paragraph. It pays off when she gets to go on a plane and dance on a plane in the last paragraph.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She watered the plants and pulled out the weeds. She was very happy when she saw some red tomatoes growing on the vines. She wanted to pick one and eat it.
+
+She asked her mom, "Can I have a tomato, please?" Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful, they are very ripe and soft. You don't want to break them."
+
+Lily nodded and reached for a big tomato. She held it gently in her hand and felt its smooth skin. She was about to bite it when she heard a meow. She looked down and saw a black cat sitting next to her. The cat looked hungry and sad.
+
+Lily felt sorry for the cat. She decided to share her tomato with it. She said, "Hello, kitty. Do you want some tomato? You can have half of it. I will welcome you to our garden."
+
+She broke the tomato in two and gave one piece to the cat. The cat licked its lips and ate the tomato. It purred and rubbed its head against Lily's leg. Lily smiled and petted the cat. She said, "You are a good kitty. I like you. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The cat meowed and nodded. It followed Lily to her mom. Lily said, "Mom, look. I found a new friend. He likes tomatoes. Can we keep him?"
+
+Her mom looked at the cat and saw that it had a broken collar. She said, "He must have run away from his home. Maybe he is lost. We should try to find his owner. But for now, we can welcome him to our garden and give him some water and food."
+
+Lily agreed and hugged the cat. She said, "Don't worry, kitty. We will help you. You are not alone. You have us." The cat snuggled with Lily and felt happy. He had found a kind girl and a nice garden. He hoped he would stay with them for a long time.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and beep and crash. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road.
+
+"Look, I'm faster than you!" Lily said, as she pushed her car ahead of Tom's.
+
+"No, you're not!" Tom said, as he tried to catch up with her. "I have a turbo boost!"
+
+They reached the end of the carpet and turned around. They saw a big glass vase on the table. It was shiny and pretty and had flowers in it.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily said, as she stopped her car. "It's so nice!"
+
+"Let's go closer!" Tom said, as he followed her. "Maybe we can see our faces in it!"
+
+They got off the carpet and walked towards the table. They held their cars in their hands. They reached the table and looked at the glass vase. They saw their faces and their cars reflected in it. They smiled and made funny faces.
+
+"Hello, Lily!" Lily said, as she waved at her reflection.
+
+"Hello, Tom!" Tom said, as he waved at his reflection.
+
+They giggled and played with the glass vase. They moved their cars closer and farther and made them beep and zoom. They had fun.
+
+But then, Tom moved his car too fast and bumped into the glass vase. The glass vase wobbled and tilted. It was going to fall!
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Tom said, as they saw the glass vase falling.
+
+They were scared and didn't know what to do. They dropped their cars and backed away. They hoped the glass vase wouldn't break.
+
+But then, Mom came into the living room. She saw the glass vase falling and ran towards it. She reached the table and caught the glass vase in her hands. She saved it!
+
+"Phew!" Lily and Tom said, as they saw Mom holding the glass vase.
+
+They were relieved and happy. They ran to Mom and hugged her.
+
+"Mom, you're amazing!" Lily said, as she thanked Mom.
+
+"Mom, you're a hero!" Tom said, as he thanked Mom.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them back. She was kind and gentle.
+
+"Thank you, sweeties," Mom said, as she kissed them. "But you have to be careful with the glass vase. It's fragile and can break easily. Next time, play with your cars on the carpet, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom," Lily and Tom said, as they nodded. "We're sorry, Mom."
+
+Mom put the glass vase back on the table. She picked up their cars and gave them to them.
+
+"Here you go," Mom said, as she handed them their cars. "Now, why don't you reverse your cars and go back to the carpet? You can still have fun there."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Lily and Tom said, as they took their cars. "We love you, Mom."
+
+They reversed their cars and went back to the carpet. They played with their cars again. They zoomed and beeped and crashed. But they also looked at the glass vase and smiled. They were glad Mom was there. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a magic box. The magic box can make things appear when they say a word. Sara and Ben take turns to say a word and see what comes out of the magic box.
+
+One day, Sara says "cake" and a big cake appears. She is happy and eats some cake. Ben says "car" and a small car appears. He is happy and drives the car. Sara says "doll" and a pretty doll appears. She is happy and hugs the doll. Ben says "dragon" and a big dragon appears. He is happy and rides the dragon.
+
+But the dragon is not humble. He is loud and mean. He roars and breathes fire. He scares Sara and Ben and their toys. He burns the cake, the car, and the doll. Sara and Ben are sad and scared. They want the dragon to go away.
+
+They remember the magic box. They say "sorry" and a big sorry appears. The sorry is humble. He is quiet and nice. He says sorry to Sara and Ben and their toys. He says sorry to the dragon and hugs him. The dragon is surprised and feels sorry too. He says sorry to Sara and Ben and their toys. He stops roaring and breathing fire. He becomes humble and friendly.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy and not scared. They hug the sorry and the dragon. They share their toys with them. They play together and have fun. They learn to be humble and say sorry. They love the magic box. The end.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a big box of crayons and a lot of paper. They liked to mark on the paper and make pictures of things they saw.
+
+One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It was white and shiny and had a big sail. Ben said, "Look, Mia, a yacht!"
+
+Mia said, "Wow, it is so pretty! I want to mark it on my paper."
+
+They both took a crayon and started to mark the yacht on their paper. They used blue for the water, white for the boat, and yellow for the sail. They also marked some birds and clouds in the sky.
+
+They were very happy with their pictures. They showed them to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She smiled and said, "You are very good at marking, Ben and Mia. I love your pictures of the yacht. It is not a normal boat, it is a special boat."
+
+Ben and Mia felt proud of their pictures. They said, "Thank you, mom. We like the yacht. It is special and pretty."
+
+They hugged their mom and then went back to play. They marked some more pictures of things they liked in the park. They had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Mia are playing in the kitchen. They have many toys and pots and pans. They pretend to cook and eat. Mia says, "I am hungry. Can you make me a sandwich, Tom?" Tom nods and goes to the sink. He sees a big knife on the counter. He wants to use it to cut the bread.
+
+"Tom, no!" Mia shouts. "That is a bad knife. It can hurt you. Mommy says only big people can use it. Put it back in the sink, please." Tom looks at Mia and the knife. He likes the knife. It is shiny and sharp. He thinks he can be careful. He does not want to put it back.
+
+"I can use it, Mia," he says. "I am big too. I can make a good sandwich. You will like it." He picks up the knife and tries to cut the bread. But the knife is too heavy and slippery. It falls from his hand and lands on the floor. It makes a loud noise. Tom and Mia are scared.
+
+Mommy hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the knife and the bread on the floor. She sees Tom and Mia by the sink. She is angry and worried. She picks up the knife and puts it in the sink. She says, "Tom, Mia, what are you doing? This is a very dangerous knife. You could have hurt yourself or each other. You are not big enough to use it. You have to listen to me and Mia. She was right to tell you to put it back. Why did you not reply to her?"
+
+Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He says, "I am sorry, Mommy. I am sorry, Mia. I wanted to make a sandwich. I wanted to use the knife. I thought I was big. But I was wrong. It was a bad idea. I will not do it again. I will reply to Mia next time. She is a good sister. She knows more than me."
+
+Mommy hugs Tom and Mia. She says, "I am glad you are both okay. I love you very much. But you have to be careful and respectful in the kitchen. There are many things that can hurt you. You have to ask me or Daddy before you use anything. And you have to reply to each other when you talk. That is how you can be safe and happy. Now, let's clean up this mess and make a sandwich together. A clean and safe sandwich."
+Anna liked to ride her bicycle every day. She had a red bicycle with a bell and a basket. She was very proud of her bicycle and took good care of it.
+
+One day, her friend Ben came to her house and asked her if he could lend her bicycle. He said he wanted to go to the park and play with some other kids. Anna did not want to lend her bicycle, because she was afraid Ben would break it or lose it. She said no to Ben and told him to go away.
+
+Ben was very angry and sad. He said Anna was a bad friend and a mean girl. He ran away and started to cry. Anna felt ashamed of herself. She knew Ben was her friend and he did not have a bicycle of his own. She thought maybe she was too selfish and rude.
+
+She decided to go after Ben and say sorry. She found him sitting on a bench in the park, still crying. She brought her bicycle with her and said, "Ben, I'm sorry I did not lend you my bicycle. I was scared you would hurt it, but I know you are careful and kind. You can lend my bicycle if you want. I will play with you in the park."
+
+Ben looked up and saw Anna and her bicycle. He smiled and wiped his tears. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend and a nice girl. I will take good care of your bicycle and return it to you soon. I'm sorry I was angry and sad. Let's go play together in the park."
+
+Anna and Ben hugged and got on the bicycle. Anna rang the bell and Ben held the basket. They rode to the park and had fun with the other kids. They were happy and not ashamed anymore. They learned to share and forgive.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside with their kites. They wait for a day when the wind is strong and blows their kites high in the sky.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom and dad. They run to the big field and let go of their kites. The wind takes them up and up. Ben and Sam are glad. They laugh and clap their hands.
+
+But then, they see a big bird. It is a hawk. It flies near their kites. It wants to catch them. Ben and Sam are scared. They pull their strings and try to make their kites go away from the hawk.
+
+The hawk is fast and strong. It chases Ben's kite. It gets closer and closer. Ben cries. He does not want to lose his kite. He loves his kite.
+
+Sam sees his brother is sad. He loves his brother. He wants to help him. He has an idea. He makes his kite go near the hawk. He makes his kite yield to the hawk. He lets the hawk catch his kite.
+
+The hawk is happy. It thinks it has a good meal. It flies away with Sam's kite. It leaves Ben's kite alone.
+
+Ben sees what Sam did. He is sad for Sam. He is also proud of Sam. He hugs Sam and says thank you. Sam hugs Ben and says you are welcome. They are still brothers. They are still glad. They go to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad are proud of them too. They say they will buy them new kites. Ben and Sam smile. They love their mom and dad. They love their kites. They love the wind.
+Lila was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with. She lived in a big house with a big yard, but there was a fence all around it. She could not go out of the fence. She could only look at the other kids who played on the street.
+
+One day, she saw a boy with a ball. He was kicking the ball by himself. He looked lonely too. Lila wanted to play with him. She ran to the fence and called out, "Hi! What is your name?"
+
+The boy looked up and saw Lila. He smiled and kicked the ball to the fence. "Hi! My name is Ben. What is yours?"
+
+Lila caught the ball and threw it back. "My name is Lila. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben nodded and replied, "Yes, I do. But how can we play? There is a fence between us."
+
+Lila thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. "We can play catch. I throw the ball to you, and you throw it back to me. It will be fun!"
+
+Ben liked the idea. He agreed and replied, "OK, let's play catch. You start."
+
+Lila and Ben played catch for a long time. They laughed and talked and had fun. They forgot about the fence. They became friends. They were not lonely anymore.
+Tom and Dad went to the lake to catch fish. They had a rod, a hook, a worm and a bucket. Dad was bald and wore a hat. Tom had curly hair and a big smile.
+
+They sat on the grass and threw the rod into the water. They waited and waited. Tom asked, "Dad, when will we catch a fish?"
+
+"Soon, Tom, soon. You have to be patient and quiet. Fish are shy and smart. They don't like noise and movement." Dad said.
+
+Tom nodded and tried to be still. He looked at the water and the sky. He saw a bird, a cloud and a boat. He felt the sun and the wind. He was happy.
+
+Suddenly, the rod moved. Dad said, "Tom, we have a bite! Pull the rod, pull the rod!"
+
+Tom grabbed the rod and pulled hard. He felt something heavy and strong. He pulled and pulled. Dad helped him. They lifted the rod and saw a big fish. It was shiny and scaly. It wiggled and splashed.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you caught a fish! You did it! You are a great fisherman!" Dad said.
+
+Tom was proud and excited. He said, "Thank you, Dad! Can we keep it? Can we eat it?"
+
+"Of course, Tom, of course. We will put it in the bucket and take it home. We will cook it and share it. It will be delicious." Dad said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They put the fish in the bucket and packed their things. They walked back to the car. They had a good day. They caught a fish.
+Lily and Tom love to play in the park. They like to run, jump and slide. One day, they see a big fly. The fly is black and shiny. It buzzes around the flowers.
+
+"Look, a fly!" Lily says. "Let's catch it!"
+
+They run after the fly. They try to grab it with their hands. But the fly is too fast. It flies away from them.
+
+"Come back, fly!" Tom says. "We want to be your friends!"
+
+The fly does not listen. It flies to a tree. Lily and Tom follow it. They climb the tree. They are very brave.
+
+They see the fly on a branch. They reach for it. But the fly is too smart. It flies to another branch.
+
+"Silly fly!" Lily says. "Why are you so shy?"
+
+The fly does not answer. It flies to the sky. Lily and Tom watch it go. They are sad.
+
+They climb down the tree. They sit on the grass. They are tired.
+
+"Maybe the fly does not like us," Tom says.
+
+"Maybe the fly is scared of us," Lily says.
+
+They hug each other. They are still friends.
+
+They hear a voice. It is the fly. It is on a flower.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Tom," the fly says. "I am sorry I ran away. I was not shy or scared. I was just playing. You are very fun. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They are happy.
+
+"Yes, we want to play with you!" they say.
+
+They get up. They run to the flower. They play with the fly. They laugh and have fun.
+
+They love the fly. The fly loves them. They are not silly. They are sweet.
+Tom and Lily liked to race each other in the park. They ran as fast as they could, and sometimes they fell down and laughed. One day, they saw something unusual in the sky. It was a big, dark cloud that spun around and around. It looked like a giant snake.
+
+"That is a tornado," said Lily. "It is very bad. It can break things and hurt people. We have to go home now."
+
+Tom was scared, but he did not want to lose the race. He said, "No, I want to finish the race. I can run faster than the tornado."
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "You are silly, Tom. The tornado is much faster than you. It can catch you and lift you up in the air. Come on, let's go home."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran away from Lily, towards the tornado. He thought he could outrun it. He did not see the tornado getting closer and closer. He did not hear Lily calling his name.
+
+Suddenly, the tornado reached Tom. It grabbed him with its strong wind and threw him up in the air. Tom screamed and cried. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had gone home with her.
+
+Lily saw Tom flying in the air. She was very sad and scared. She ran to her home and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We will find Tom. He will be okay."
+
+They turned on the TV and saw the news. The news said the tornado was gone, and it did not hurt many people. It also said that a boy was found in a tree, safe and sound. It was Tom.
+
+Lily and her mom went to the tree and saw Tom. He was dirty and bruised, but he was alive. He was very happy to see them. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. You were right. The tornado was too fast for me. I will never race a tornado again."
+
+Lily hugged him and said, "I'm glad you are okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are my brother, and I love you."
+
+They went home together, and they never raced a tornado again. They learned to respect nature and to listen to each other. They still liked to race each other in the park, but only when the sky was clear and blue.
+Sam and Mia liked to play soccer. They wanted to win a trophy. They practiced every day with their coach, Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee was nice and taught them many things.
+
+One day, they had a big game against another team. The other team was bigger and faster. They looked dangerous. Sam and Mia were scared, but Mr. Lee said, "Don't worry, you can do it. Just remember what I taught you. Work together, have fun, and never give up."
+
+The game started. The other team scored first. Then they scored again. Sam and Mia felt sad. They tried hard, but they could not get the ball. The other team was too strong. They shouted and pushed. Sam and Mia felt angry.
+
+At halftime, Mr. Lee talked to them. He said, "You are doing great. You are brave and smart. But you need to change something. You need to play differently. You need to surprise them. Do you remember the trick we practiced? The one where you pass the ball with your head?"
+
+Sam and Mia nodded. They remembered the trick. They had never used it in a game before. It was hard, but it was fun. They decided to try it.
+
+The second half began. Sam and Mia waited for their chance. They saw the ball coming. They ran to it. They jumped in the air. They hit the ball with their head. They passed it to each other. The other team was confused. They did not know what to do. Sam and Mia reached the goal. They kicked the ball. They scored!
+
+They were so happy. They hugged and cheered. They did the trick again and again. They scored more goals. They caught up with the other team. They tied the game. They had one more minute to play.
+
+They saw the ball again. They ran to it. They jumped in the air. They hit the ball with their head. They passed it to each other. They reached the goal. They kicked the ball. They scored!
+
+They won the game. They got the trophy. They were so proud. They thanked Mr. Lee. He smiled and said, "You did it. You changed the game. You are amazing. You are champions."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big cardboard box near the pond. They decided to make a boat out of it and sail on the water.
+
+They cut a hole in the box and put a stick and a sheet on it. They also painted the box with red and blue colors. They were very proud of their boat and dragged it to the pond.
+
+"Ready to sail, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, Tom, let's go!" Lily said.
+
+They climbed into the box and pushed it into the water. They pretended to be pirates and explorers. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they saw a grumpy duck swimming near them. The duck did not like their boat. It quacked loudly and pecked at the sheet. It made a hole in it and the wind blew it away.
+
+"Hey, stop that, duck!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Go away, duck!" Lily cried.
+
+But the duck did not listen. It kept quacking and pecking. It also splashed water on them. They got wet and cold.
+
+They did not like the duck. They did not like their boat anymore. They wanted to go back to the shore.
+
+They paddled with their hands and feet. They reached the shore and got out of the box. They left the box and the stick behind. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench.
+
+"Mom, mom, a grumpy duck ruined our boat!" Tom said.
+
+"It was a bad duck, mom, it was mean to us!" Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged them and gave them a cherry each. She said, "I'm sorry, my loves, that duck was not nice. But you did a great job making your boat. You are very creative and brave. And you have each other. That's what matters most."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and ate their cherries. They felt better. They still liked to play in the park. But they did not like grumpy ducks.
+One day, Lily and Sam went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They also saw a big tent with a sign that said "Butterfly Show". Lily and Sam loved butterflies. They asked their mom if they could go inside.
+
+"Can we please see the butterflies, mom?" Lily said.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Sam said.
+
+"Okay, but we have to pay first," mom said. She gave some money to a man at the door. He gave them three tickets and said "Enjoy the show!"
+
+Lily, Sam and mom went inside the tent. It was very hot and humid. They saw many butterflies of different colors and sizes. Some were flying, some were resting on flowers, some were drinking nectar. Lily and Sam were amazed. They wanted to touch the butterflies, but mom said "No, we have to be gentle and quiet. The butterflies are very delicate and shy."
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They walked around the tent and looked at the butterflies. They saw a big blue butterfly with black spots. It was very pretty. Lily pointed at it and said "Look, mom, look! A blue butterfly!"
+
+Mom smiled and said "Yes, it's beautiful. Do you know what it's called?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not know.
+
+"It's called a blue morpho," mom said. "It lives in the rainforest. It can change its color to hide from predators."
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Sam said.
+
+The blue morpho flew away and landed on another flower. Lily and Sam followed it with their eyes. They saw more butterflies and learned their names. They had a lot of fun at the butterfly show. They thanked their mom for taking them there. They said they wanted to come back again. Mom said maybe they could, if they saved some money and paid for their tickets. Lily and Sam agreed. They loved butterflies.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big, fat rocket on the grass. It was red and shiny and had a pointy nose.
+
+"Wow, look at that rocket!" Tom said. "Can we play with it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it belongs to someone."
+
+"Who cares?" Tom said. "It looks fun. Come on, let's go."
+
+They ran to the rocket and touched it. It felt cold and hard. They noticed a button on the side. It had a picture of a fire.
+
+"What do you think this does?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it makes a noise."
+
+"Let's find out," Tom said. He pushed the button.
+
+Suddenly, the rocket made a loud roar. Smoke and fire came out of the bottom. The rocket lifted off the ground and flew into the sky.
+
+"Wow!" Tom and Lily shouted. They clapped their hands and laughed.
+
+They did not notice the man who was running towards them. He was angry and scared. He was the owner of the rocket. He had been working on it for a long time. He wanted to send it to space. He had not finished testing it. He did not know where it would go or what it would do.
+
+"Stop! Stop!" he yelled. "That's my rocket! You can't touch it! It's dangerous!"
+
+But it was too late. The rocket was gone. The man was sad and mad. He looked at Tom and Lily. He blamed them for his loss. He grabbed them by their arms and dragged them to his car.
+
+"You two are in big trouble," he said. "You have to pay for my rocket. You have to come with me."
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sorry. They wished they had not played with the rocket. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they could go back to the park. But they could not. They were stuck with the man and his car. They did not know what would happen to them. They cried and cried. The end.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a big tree with many apples. They wanted to pick some apples, but they were too high.
+
+"Let's bring an axe and cut the tree," said Tom. "Then we can have all the apples."
+
+"No, that's not good," said Sam. "The tree is alive and gives us shade and air. We should not hurt it."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the shed and brought an axe. He swung the axe at the tree, but he missed and hit his foot. He cried out in pain and dropped the axe.
+
+Sam ran to help him. He saw that the cut was deep and bleeding. He wrapped his scarf around Tom's foot and said, "We need to go home and tell Mom. She will make it better."
+
+Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "You were right, Sam. I was greedy and foolish. I should have respected the tree and not tried to cut it. I'm sorry, Sam. And I'm sorry, tree."
+
+Sam hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. And I think the tree does too. But next time, let's just use a ladder and pick some apples, okay?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Okay, Sam. Let's go home."
+
+They left the axe in the woods and walked home, holding hands. They learned a lesson that day: to be kind to nature and to each other.
+Ben and Lily were twins who loved to swim in the pool. They had many toys to play with, like balls, rings, and ducks. One day, their dad said he would make a grill for lunch. He asked Ben and Lily to help him set up the grill and bring some food.
+
+Ben was very excited. He wanted to show his dad how good he was at grilling. He ran to the kitchen and grabbed a big plate of meat. He did not wait for Lily or his dad. He carried the plate to the grill and tried to put the meat on it. But the grill was very hot and Ben burned his hand. He dropped the plate and the meat fell on the floor. He started to cry.
+
+Lily heard Ben's cry and ran to him. She saw the meat on the floor and the grill smoking. She felt sorry for Ben and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. You don't have to do everything by yourself. We can help each other. Let's go get some ice for your hand and tell dad what happened."
+
+Ben nodded and wiped his tears. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I wanted to be the best at grilling, but I was not careful. I should have listened to dad and waited for you. You are a good sister. Thank you for helping me."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good brother, too. You are very good at swimming and playing. You don't have to be the best at everything. You just have to be humble and kind."
+
+They went to the kitchen and got some ice for Ben's hand. Then they told their dad what happened. Their dad was not angry. He was glad that Ben and Lily learned a lesson. He said, "I'm proud of you, Ben and Lily. You are both brave and honest. You made a mistake, but you admitted it and apologized. You also helped each other and showed love. That is more important than grilling. Come on, let's clean up the mess and make some sandwiches instead."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged their dad and said, "We love you, dad. Thank you for teaching us."
+
+They cleaned up the mess and made some sandwiches. They ate them by the pool and had a lot of fun. They learned that being humble and kind is better than being proud and selfish. They also learned that swimming is more fun than grilling.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big board lying on the grass. Sam wanted to use it as a slide.
+
+"Look, Mia, a slide!" he said. "Let's go on it!"
+
+Mia was not sure. The board looked old and dirty. She thought it might break or hurt them.
+
+"Sam, I don't think that's a good idea," she said. "The board is not fit for sliding. It might have nails or splinters. And it's too high. We could fall and get hurt."
+
+Sam did not listen. He was too excited. He ran to the board and climbed on it. He tried to slide down, but the board was not smooth. It was rough and bumpy. Sam felt a sharp pain in his leg. He cried out loud.
+
+"Mia, help! I'm stuck! The board has a nail in it! It poked my leg!"
+
+Mia ran to Sam. She saw the blood on his leg. She felt scared and sorry. She wished they had not played with the board.
+
+"Sam, I'm sorry. I'll get help. Don't move. Stay calm," she said.
+
+She ran to the nearest adult. She told them what happened. They called an ambulance. They took Sam to the hospital. They fixed his leg. He had to wear a bandage for a while.
+
+Sam learned his lesson. He never played with boards again. He listened to Mia more. She was his best friend. She always looked out for him. They played with safer things. They had fun. They were happy.
+Lily liked to watch the pigeons in the park. They were gray and white and made funny noises. Sometimes they flew away when a big dog came near. Lily wanted to feed them some bread, but her mom said no.
+
+"Mom, why can't I give them bread?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because bread is not good for pigeons, dear. It can make them sick. And there are too many pigeons here. They make a mess and bother the people who live in the big houses." Mom said.
+
+Lily looked at the big houses. They were very tall and shiny. They had many windows and doors. Lily wondered who lived in them. She thought they must be very wealthy.
+
+"Mom, who lives in the big houses?" Lily asked.
+
+"Some wealthy people live in the big houses, dear. They have a lot of money and things. They like to be quiet and clean. They don't like pigeons or noise." Mom said.
+
+Lily felt sad for the pigeons. She thought they were nice and fun. She wished she could live in a big house and have pigeons as friends. She decided to make a plan.
+
+The next day, Lily took some seeds from the kitchen. She hid them in her pocket. She asked Mom to take her to the park again. Mom agreed. Lily was happy.
+
+When they got to the park, Lily ran to the pigeons. She took out the seeds and threw them on the ground. The pigeons came closer and started to eat. Lily smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+"Look, Mom, I'm feeding the pigeons!" Lily said.
+
+Mom saw what Lily was doing. She was not happy. She ran to Lily and took the seeds away.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing? You can't feed the pigeons! They are not your pets! They are pests! They will make a mess and annoy the wealthy people! Come on, we have to go!" Mom said.
+
+Lily did not want to go. She wanted to stay with the pigeons. She liked them. She thought they were her friends. She cried and kicked.
+
+"No, Mom, no! I want to stay with the pigeons! I want to complete my plan! I want to make the wealthy people happy!" Lily said.
+
+Mom was confused. She did not understand what Lily meant. She asked her what her plan was.
+
+Lily stopped crying and looked at Mom. She had a big smile on her face. She said:
+
+"My plan is to make the pigeons fly to the big houses and poop on them. Then the wealthy people will have to clean them and they will not be so quiet and clean. They will have to laugh and play. They will like the pigeons and share their bread. Then everyone will be happy!" Lily said.
+
+Mom was shocked. She did not know what to say. She looked at the pigeons. They looked at her. They seemed to like Lily's plan. They flapped their wings and made funny noises. They flew away to the big houses. Lily waved at them and said:
+
+"Bye, bye, pigeons! Have fun! See you soon!" Lily said.
+Lily was a little girl who hated bedtime. She did not like to sleep in her dark room, because she had bad dreams. She called them nightmares. They made her feel scared and sad.
+
+One night, she had a very bad nightmare. She dreamed that a big monster was chasing her in the forest. It had sharp teeth and red eyes. It roared and growled at her. She ran and ran, but it was faster. She tried to scream, but no one heard her.
+
+She woke up with a loud cry. She was shaking and sweating. She looked around and saw that she was in her bed. She was safe. It was only a dream. But she was still afraid. She wanted her mom and dad.
+
+She got out of her bed and ran to their room. She knocked on the door and called their names. They opened the door and saw her. They hugged her and asked her what was wrong. She told them about her nightmare. They said they were sorry and that they loved her.
+
+They took her to their bed and cuddled with her. They told her stories and sang songs. They made her feel calm and happy. They said that nightmares were not real and that they would always protect her. They said that she was brave and strong.
+
+Lily felt better. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She did not have any more nightmares that night. She had ordinary dreams. She dreamed of flowers and rainbows and butterflies. She smiled in her sleep. She did not hate bedtime anymore.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they do not like to share. They always fight over who gets what.
+
+One day, Mom says, "You have too many toys. You need to sort them. You can keep some and give some to other kids who have no toys."
+
+Tom and Lily do not want to sort their toys. They want to keep them all. They start to cry and yell.
+
+Mom says, "Stop crying and yelling. Sorting your toys is fair. You have more than you need. Other kids have none. You can choose which toys you want to keep and which ones you want to give away. But you have to do it now."
+
+Tom and Lily stop crying and yelling. They look at their toys. They see some toys they like a lot and some toys they do not like so much. They think maybe they can sort their toys.
+
+They start to sort their toys. They make two piles. One pile is for keeping and one pile is for giving. They try to be fair. They take turns picking toys.
+
+But then Tom sees a toy he likes in Lily's pile. It is a red car. He wants the red car. He says, "I want the red car. Give it to me."
+
+Lily says, "No, it is mine. I picked it first. You have another car. It is blue. Keep the blue car."
+
+Tom says, "But I like the red car better. It is faster and cooler. The blue car is boring. Give me the red car."
+
+Lily says, "No, no, no. The red car is mine. You cannot have it. Go away."
+
+They start to fight over the red car. They pull and tug and push. They make a lot of noise.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Lily fighting over the red car. She sees the piles of toys. She is not happy.
+
+She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? I thought you were sorting your toys."
+
+Tom and Lily stop fighting. They look at Mom. They feel bad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were sorting our toys. But we both wanted the red car. We could not agree."
+
+Mom says, "I see. But fighting is not the way to solve your problem. You have to share and be fair. You have to think of others. How would you feel if you had no toys at all?"
+
+Tom and Lily think. They feel sad. They do not want to have no toys at all. They say, "We would feel sad, Mom. We do not want to have no toys at all."
+
+Mom says, "That is how some kids feel. They have no toys at all. They would be happy to have any toy. Even a blue car. Or a red car. Or any car. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily understand. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will share and be fair. We will give some toys to other kids who have no toys. We will not fight over the red car. We will take turns playing with it. Or we can play with it together."
+
+Mom says, "That is good. I am proud of you. You are being kind and generous. You are making other kids happy. And you are making me happy. Now finish sorting your toys. And then you can play with them. But remember to share and be fair."
+
+Tom and Lily say, "Okay, Mom. We will. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom."
+
+They hug Mom. They finish sorting their toys. They play with them. They share and be fair. They have fun.
+
+But then Tom feels an itch on his nose. He scratches it. He says, "Mom, I have an itch on my nose. Why do I have an itch on my nose?"
+
+Mom says, "Maybe you have an allergy. Maybe you are allergic to something. Maybe you are allergic to the red car."
+
+Tom says, "No, Mom. I am not allergic to the red car. I like the red car. I do not want to give it away."
+
+Lily says, "Maybe you are allergic to the blue car. Maybe you should give it to me."
+
+Tom says, "No, Lily. I am not allergic to the blue car. I like the blue car too. I do not want to give it to you."
+
+They start to laugh. They are joking. They are happy. They are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they also like to share and be fair. They are good kids. The end.
+Sam and Mia liked to play in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small bucket. They filled the big bucket with sand and put it on top of a hill. They wanted to make a castle.
+
+"Look, Mia, a big castle!" Sam said.
+
+"Yes, Sam, a big castle!" Mia said.
+
+They ran down the hill to get the small bucket. They wanted to make a tower.
+
+But they did not see the dog. The dog was black and white and harmless. He liked to play too. He saw the big bucket on the hill. He thought it was a ball. He ran up the hill and jumped on the bucket.
+
+The bucket fell down the hill. It rolled and rolled. It was very fast.
+
+"Look, Sam, the bucket!" Mia said.
+
+"Oh no, Mia, the bucket!" Sam said.
+
+They tried to get out of the way. But the bucket was too fast. It hit them and knocked them over. They fell in the sand.
+
+The dog ran after the bucket. He caught it and shook it. He was happy.
+
+Sam and Mia were not happy. They were sad and dirty. They looked at their castle. It was gone.
+
+"Bad dog, bad dog!" Sam said.
+
+"Go away, dog, go away!" Mia said.
+
+The dog did not understand. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He wanted to play more.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play and have fun. One day, they go to the park with Mom. Mom brings a big basket with food and drinks.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a pond with ducks!" Max says. He runs to the pond and watches the ducks swim and quack. Lily follows him and watches too. The ducks are cute and funny.
+
+"Can we feed the ducks, Mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, but only a little bit. We have some bread for them. But don't go too close to the water, okay?" Mom says. She gives them some bread and they throw it to the ducks. The ducks are happy and eat the bread.
+
+"Mom, I'm hungry too. Can we eat now?" Max says.
+
+"Okay, let's go to the picnic table and have our lunch. I made some salad for us. Do you like salad?" Mom says.
+
+"I like salad. It is yummy and healthy. What is in the salad, Mom?" Lily says.
+
+"It has lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and dressing. Do you want some?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, please. Can I have some juice too?" Max says.
+
+"Of course. Here you go. Enjoy your lunch, kids. You are good and cute." Mom says.
+
+Lily and Max eat their salad and drink their juice. They like the salad. It is crunchy and tasty. They thank Mom for the lunch. Then they play some more in the park. They have a fun day.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make a sail out of it. They cut a hole in the box and put a stick and a sheet on it. Then they dragged the box to the backyard.
+
+"Look, we have a sail!" Tom said. "We can pretend we are on a boat and go on an adventure!"
+
+"That sounds fun!" Lily said. "But where are we going?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He looked at the sky and saw some clouds. He pointed at them and said, "We are going to the cloud land! There are many animals and candies there!"
+
+Lily was not sure. She looked at the clouds and said, "But they are so far away! And they look normal, not like land. How can we get there?"
+
+Tom did not like Lily's question. He said, "We can get there if we believe! And they are not normal, they are magical! You are just scared and boring!"
+
+Lily felt hurt by Tom's words. She said, "I am not scared or boring! I just want to play something else. This sail is silly and it does not work!"
+
+Tom and Lily started to argue. They both complained and shouted at each other. They did not have fun anymore.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to the backyard. She saw the sail and the twins. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Tom and Lily told their mom what they wanted to do and why they disagreed. Their mom listened and said, "I see. You both have different ideas and feelings. That is okay. But you should not be mean or rude to each other. You should respect and listen to each other. You should try to understand and compromise. That is how you can play together and have fun."
+
+Tom and Lily realized their mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to play with the sail in a different way. They pretended it was a tent and a castle. They had fun and laughed.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should not complain and fight with your siblings. You should respect and listen to them. You should try to understand and compromise. That is how you can play together and have fun.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It was a pit. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They went near the pit and looked down. It was dark and deep. They heard a small sound. It was a puppy. The puppy was scared and alone. It was stuck in the pit.
+
+Lila and Tom felt sad for the puppy. They wanted to help it. They ran to find a grown-up. They saw a man with a rope. He was thoughtful. He said he would help them.
+
+The man tied the rope to a tree. He gave one end to Lila and Tom. He told them to hold it tight. He went down the pit with the other end. He picked up the puppy and put it in his arms. He climbed up the rope with the puppy.
+
+Lila and Tom were happy to see the puppy. They thanked the man for saving it. They asked him if they could keep the puppy. He said yes. He said he was looking for a good home for the puppy. He said they could hug the puppy and take care of it.
+
+Lila and Tom hugged the puppy. The puppy licked their faces. It was happy and safe. They named the puppy Pit. They took Pit home with them. They played with Pit and gave it food and water. They loved Pit. Pit loved them. They were a family.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big bag of money in the park. They are very happy.
+
+"Wow, look at all this money!" Tom says. "We can buy anything we want!"
+
+"Let's go to the toy store!" Sam says. "I want a new car and a robot!"
+
+They run to the toy store with the bag of money. They see many toys they like. They start to take them from the shelves.
+
+"Stop!" a man says. He is the store owner. He is angry. "You can't take those toys without paying!"
+
+"But we have money!" Tom says. He shows him the bag.
+
+The store owner looks at the bag. He sees that the money is fake. It has funny faces and words on it. He laughs.
+
+"This is not real money!" he says. "This is play money! You can't buy anything with this!"
+
+Tom and Sam are confused. They look at the bag again. They see that the money is not real. They feel silly.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Sam says. "We didn't know. We found this bag in the park."
+
+"Someone must have left it there as a joke," the store owner says. "It's a crazy thing to do. You should be careful with what you find."
+
+He leans down and gives them a smile. He is not angry anymore. He is kind.
+
+"Why don't you pick one toy each as a gift?" he says. "And then you can return the bag to the park. Maybe someone will find it and have a laugh."
+
+Tom and Sam are happy. They thank the store owner. They pick one toy each. They like their toys. They run back to the park with the bag of money. They leave it on a bench. They hope someone will find it and have fun. They go home with their toys. They are good brothers.
+Anna loved to watch her big brother Sam ride his motorcycle. He was very fast and brave. Sometimes he would soar over hills and ramps and make loud noises. Anna wanted to ride with him, but Sam said she was too little.
+
+One day, Sam had to go to the store and he left his motorcycle in the yard. Anna saw it and felt curious. She climbed on the seat and touched the handle. She wondered what would happen if she pushed the button.
+
+"Anna, no!" Sam shouted as he came back. He saw Anna push the button and the motorcycle start to move. He ran after her, but he was too late. The motorcycle went faster and faster, and Anna was scared. She did not know how to stop it.
+
+"Help me, Sam!" Anna cried. She held on tight and closed her eyes. The motorcycle went over a bump and soared into the air. Anna felt like she was flying, but she did not like it. She wanted to be on the ground.
+
+Sam was very worried. He hoped Anna would be okay. He saw the motorcycle land on the other side of the bump and skid to a stop. He ran to Anna and hugged her. He was glad she was not hurt.
+
+"Anna, you are very naughty!" Sam said. "You should not touch my motorcycle. It is dangerous. You could have been hurt. You have to be obedient and listen to me."
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam," Anna said. "I was curious. I wanted to be like you. But I don't like to soar. It is scary. I promise I won't touch your motorcycle again."
+
+Sam forgave Anna and helped her off the motorcycle. He told her he loved her and that she could ride with him when she was bigger. He also told her that soaring was fun, but only when you knew how to do it. Anna nodded and smiled. She was happy to have a big brother like Sam.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Lily found a big root that was sticking out of the ground. She pulled on it and it came out with a loud snap.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a root!" Lily said, holding it up.
+
+Ben came over and looked at the root. It was long and brown and dirty. He wanted to touch it, but Lily held it away from him.
+
+"No, it's mine! I found it!" Lily said, hugging the root.
+
+Ben felt angry. He wanted to have the root too. He tried to grab it from Lily, but she was stronger. They started to tug and pull on the root, shouting at each other.
+
+"Give it to me!"
+
+"No, it's mine!"
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said, coming out of the house. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the root. She was not happy. She took the root from them and put it in the trash.
+
+"That's not a toy, that's garbage. It's dirty and it could hurt you. You need to wipe your hands and face, you're all covered in dirt. And then you need to say sorry to each other. Fighting is not nice." Mom said, sternly.
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They wiped their hands and face with a wet cloth. They looked at each other and said sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I shouldn't have tried to take your root." Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I shouldn't have been greedy. You can have the next thing I find." Lily said.
+
+They hugged and made up. Mom smiled and gave them a hug too.
+
+"Good. Now, why don't you go and play with something else? I have a surprise for you in the kitchen." Mom said, gently.
+
+Lily and Ben wondered what the surprise was. They ran to the kitchen, hoping it was something yummy. They were happy to see a big cake on the table, with candles and frosting.
+
+"Happy birthday, Lily and Ben!" Mom said, happily. "You're both three years old today!"
+
+Lily and Ben were so excited. They forgot about the root and the fight. They thanked Mom and blew out the candles. They shared the cake and had a lot of fun. They learned that sharing was better than fighting, and that Mom always had something good for them.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the sand at the beach. They had a bucket and a spade and they made a big castle with towers and walls. They were very happy and proud of their castle.
+
+"Look at our lovely castle!" Mia said. "We should record it with your phone, Ben, so we can show it to Mom and Dad."
+
+"Good idea!" Ben said. He took out his phone and turned on the camera. He walked around the castle and recorded it from different angles. He smiled and said, "This is the best castle ever!"
+
+But then, a big wave came and washed away their castle. The water took away the sand and the bucket and the spade. Ben and Mia were very sad and angry. They cried and shouted.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" a voice said. It was a boy who was sitting on a towel nearby. He had a surfboard and a hat. He looked at Ben and Mia and said, "You are making too much noise. This is my spot. Go away!"
+
+Ben and Mia felt even more sad and angry. They did not like the boy. He was mean and rude. They wanted to stay and play in the sand. They did not want to go away.
+
+"No, you go away!" Ben said. "This is our spot. We were here first. You are mean and rude!"
+
+The boy laughed and said, "No, I won't go away. This is my spot. I was here before you. You are silly and crybaby!"
+
+Ben and Mia did not know what to do. They looked at each other and then at the boy. They wanted to have fun and play in the sand. They did not want to fight with the boy. They wished they still had their lovely castle. They wished they could record it and show it to Mom and Dad. They wished the big wave did not come and wash it away.
+Mira liked to draw with pastels. She had many colors: pink, blue, yellow, green, and more. She drew flowers, birds, stars, and rainbows on big sheets of paper. She was very happy when she drew.
+
+One day, she saw a new pastel in her box. It was white. She wondered what it could do. She tried to draw with it, but nothing happened. She rubbed it harder, but still nothing. She was confused and sad. She asked her mom, "Mom, why is this pastel broken? It does not make any color."
+
+Her mom smiled and took the white pastel. She said, "This pastel is not broken, my dear. It is special. It can make magic. Do you want to see?" Mira nodded eagerly. She loved magic.
+
+Her mom took Mira to a dark room. She turned off the light. She said, "Now, watch closely." She used the white pastel to draw a big heart on the wall. Then, she said, "Examine the heart, Mira. What do you see?"
+
+Mira looked at the heart. She gasped. It was glowing in the dark. It was beautiful. She saw many colors inside the heart: pink, blue, yellow, green, and more. They were the colors of her pastels. She said, "Wow, mom, how did you do that?"
+
+Her mom said, "The white pastel can make the other pastels glow in the dark. It is a secret trick. You have to use it on top of the other colors. Then, you can see your drawings in a new way. Do you want to try?"
+
+Mira said, "Yes, yes, yes!" She took the white pastel and ran to her drawings. She used it on her flowers, birds, stars, and rainbows. She made them glow in the dark. She was amazed and happy. She said, "Thank you, mom, for showing me the magic pastel. You are very wise and kind."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "You are welcome, my dear. You are very creative and smart. I love you and your drawings." They stayed in the dark room for a long time, enjoying the magic of the pastels.
+Lily and Sam were friends who liked to draw with colors. They had many colors to choose from, but Lily's favorite was red and Sam's favorite was blue. They always shared their colors with each other, except for their favorites. They kept those for themselves.
+
+One day, they were drawing a picture of a big house with a garden. Lily used red to draw the roof and the flowers, and Sam used blue to draw the sky and the pond. They were having fun, until they ran out of green. They needed green to draw the grass and the trees.
+
+"Can you pass me the green color, please?" Lily asked Sam.
+
+"Sorry, I don't have any green," Sam said.
+
+"Yes, you do. I saw it in your box. It's right there," Lily pointed.
+
+Sam looked at his box and saw the green color. He remembered that he had taken it from the teacher's desk, because he wanted to have more colors than Lily. He was selfish and did not want to share.
+
+"No, that's not green. That's yellow," Sam lied.
+
+Lily was not fooled. She knew her colors very well. She was angry and sad that Sam was lying to her and being selfish.
+
+"That's not yellow. That's green. You are lying to me and being selfish. You are not a good friend," Lily said.
+
+She grabbed the green color from Sam's box and ran away. Sam tried to stop her, but it was too late. He felt sorry and ashamed. He had lost his color and his friend.
+
+He wished he had shared the green color with Lily, like she had shared her red color with him. He learned that being selfish was not worth it. He hoped that Lily would forgive him and be his friend again. He decided to say sorry to her and to the teacher. He hoped they would give him another chance.
+One day, a bird wanted to soar high in the sky. He flapped his wings and flew up and up, until he saw a big castle. He saw a man with a crown and a robe. He was the king of the land.
+
+The bird flew closer and said, "Hello, king. You have a nice castle. Can I stay here for a while?"
+
+The king looked at the bird and smiled. He said, "Hello, bird. You are very brave to soar so high. You can stay here if you want, but you have to be honest and kind to everyone."
+
+The bird nodded and said, "Thank you, king. I will be honest and kind. You are a good king."
+
+The king and the bird became friends. They talked and played and learned from each other. The bird was happy to soar in the sky and to have a friend in the castle. The king was happy to have a visitor who was honest and kind. They lived happily ever after.
+Lily loved ponies. She wanted to see them and touch them and ride them. She asked her mom to take her to the farm where the ponies lived. Her mom said yes and they got in the car.
+
+At the farm, Lily saw many ponies. They were brown and black and white and spotted. They had long hair and tails and big eyes. Lily ran to the fence and called to them. "Hello, ponies! Can I pet you? Can I ride you?"
+
+But the ponies did not come to her. They ignored her. They ate grass and walked around and napped in the sun. Lily felt sad and angry. Why did the ponies not like her? She wanted to be their friend.
+
+She saw a small pony in the corner. It was white with a pink mane and a star on its forehead. It looked at her with curiosity. Lily smiled and walked to it. "Hi, pony. You are very pretty. Can I pet you?"
+
+The pony nodded and came closer. It sniffed Lily's hand and licked it. Lily giggled and stroked its soft hair. The pony nuzzled her and made a happy sound. Lily felt happy too. She had found a friend.
+
+"Mom, look! This pony likes me! Can I ride it?" Lily asked.
+
+Her mom came over and smiled. She saw that the pony was harmless and gentle. She asked the farmer if Lily could ride it. The farmer said yes and helped Lily get on the pony's back. The pony trotted around the farm with Lily holding its mane. Lily laughed and waved to the other ponies. They looked at her and wondered. Maybe she was not so bad after all.
+Anna and Ben love to play with their toy kitchen. They pretend to cook and eat different foods. One day, they find a bag of shrimp in the freezer. They wonder what it is.
+
+"Let's make shrimp soup!" Anna says. She puts some water and shrimp in a pot. She adds some salt and pepper.
+
+"Can I help?" Ben asks. He wants to stir the pot.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It's hot!" Anna says. She gives him a spoon.
+
+They stir the pot together. They smell the shrimp soup. It makes them hungry.
+
+"Is it ready?" Ben asks.
+
+"I think so. Let's taste it!" Anna says. She pours some soup in two bowls. She gives one to Ben.
+
+They sip the soup. They make faces.
+
+"Yuck! I don't like shrimp!" Ben says. He spits out the soup.
+
+"Me neither! It's too fishy!" Anna says. She pushes away the bowl.
+
+They look at each other. They laugh.
+
+"Let's make something else!" Ben says.
+
+"OK, what do you want?" Anna asks.
+
+"How about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" Ben says.
+
+"That sounds good! And easy!" Anna says.
+
+They go to the pantry. They find bread, peanut butter, and jelly. They make sandwiches. They cut them in half. They share them.
+
+They bite the sandwiches. They smile.
+
+"Mmm, this is much better!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, it is! And it includes our favorite things!" Anna says.
+
+They finish their sandwiches. They feel full and happy.
+
+They clean up their toy kitchen. They put away the shrimp. They don't want to use it again.
+
+They go to the couch. They cuddle with their blankets. They feel comfortable.
+
+They tell each other stories. They fall asleep. They dream of peanut butter and jelly.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens and horses. They are happy.
+
+One day, they hear a loud noise. It is a bull. The bull is big and angry. He runs to the fence. He wants to get out. Lila and Ben are scared.
+
+They run to the barn. They hide behind a hay stack. They hope the bull will not find them. They hug each other.
+
+Then, they hear another noise. It is a farmer. The farmer is kind. He sees the bull. He calms him down. He puts him back in his pen. He gives him some food.
+
+The farmer comes to the barn. He finds Lila and Ben. He smiles at them. He tells them not to worry. The bull is not bad. He is just scared of loud noises. He asks them if they want to pet him. Lila and Ben nod. They follow the farmer.
+
+They go to the pen. The bull is quiet now. He looks at them. He sniffs them. He licks them. Lila and Ben giggle. They touch his fur. They say thank you to the farmer. They say sorry to the bull. They make a new friend. They are happy.
+Sara likes to skip. She skips to school, she skips in the park, she skips at home. She thinks skipping is fun and makes her happy.
+
+One day, Sara sees a big vehicle on the road. It is red and shiny and has a loud horn. Sara wants to see it closer, so she skips towards it. She does not look both ways, she does not see the other cars, she does not hear her mom calling her.
+
+The driver of the big vehicle sees Sara skipping. He is scared and angry. He honks his horn and brakes hard. He stops just in time, but Sara falls down and hurts her knee. She cries and cries.
+
+Her mom runs to her and hugs her. She is glad Sara is not badly hurt, but she is also very upset. She tells Sara she was not careful, she was not safe, she was not smart. She says Sara should never skip on the road, she should always look both ways, she should always listen to her mom.
+
+Sara feels sorry and sad. She says she is sorry, she will be careful, she will be smart. She says she still likes to skip, but she will only skip where it is safe. She hugs her mom and says she loves her. Her mom loves her too. She puts a band-aid on Sara's knee and kisses it. She says they will go home and have some ice cream. Sara smiles and nods. She holds her mom's hand and walks slowly. She does not skip on the road.
+Sara and Tom were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to make clothes for their dolls with pieces of cloth and a needle. Sara was very good at making stitches, but Tom was still learning.
+
+"Look, I made a dress for Lily," Sara said, showing her doll to Tom. "It has flowers and buttons and a belt."
+
+"Wow, that's very pretty," Tom said. "Can you teach me how to make stitches like that?"
+
+"Sure, I can," Sara said. "You need to be careful with the needle, though. It can hurt you if you poke yourself."
+
+Sara gave Tom a piece of cloth and a needle. She showed him how to thread the needle and how to make small stitches. Tom tried to copy her, but he was not very good. He made big stitches and tangled the thread.
+
+"Oops, I messed up," Tom said. "Can you help me, Sara?"
+
+Sara looked at Tom's cloth. She saw that he had poked his finger with the needle. There was a drop of blood on his finger.
+
+"Tom, you hurt yourself!" Sara said. "Does it hurt a lot?"
+
+Tom looked at his finger. He felt a sting, but he did not cry. He wanted to be brave.
+
+"It's okay, Sara," Tom said. "It's just a little bit. I can keep playing."
+
+Sara shook her head. She took Tom's hand and led him to the house. She found a band-aid and covered his finger with it.
+
+"There, that's better," Sara said. "You should always cover a wound with a band-aid. It helps it heal faster."
+
+"Thank you, Sara," Tom said. "You are very kind. And you are very good at making stitches."
+
+Sara smiled. She hugged Tom and said, "You are very welcome, Tom. And you are very brave. You did not cry when you hurt yourself."
+
+They went back to the garden and continued playing with their dolls. They had fun making clothes and stitches. They were happy and proud of each other.
+Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a big blouse with flowers on it and put it on. She felt very pretty and happy. She wanted to show her mom how she looked.
+
+She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making lunch. She said, "Mom, look at me! I am a princess!"
+
+Her mom turned around and smiled. She said, "You are a very beautiful princess, Lily. But that is my blouse. It is not for playing. It is for work."
+
+Lily felt sad and ashamed. She did not know that the blouse was not for playing. She thought her mom would be proud of her. She said, "I am sorry, mom. I did not mean to be bad."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I am not angry with you. You just have to ask me before you take my clothes. And you have to be careful not to rip them or stain them. They are very delicate."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. Can I still be a princess?"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Of course you can. But how about we find you a different outfit? Something more fun and colorful. And maybe a crown and a wand."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please! That sounds great!"
+
+They went to Lily's room and looked for a new dress-up costume. Lily saw a big box with a lion mask and a furry tail. She liked lions. They were strong and brave. She put on the mask and the tail and said, "Roar! I am a lion!"
+
+Her mom clapped and said, "Wow! You are a very fierce lion, Lily. But can you be a friendly lion too?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I can be a friendly lion. I can share and help and hug."
+
+Her mom said, "That's wonderful, Lily. You are a very good lion. And a very good princess. And a very good daughter. I love you very much."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, mom. Roar!"
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bag on a bench. The bag is red and shiny. It has many things inside.
+
+"Wow, look at that bag!" Anna says. "It is so pretty. I want it."
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, Anna. That is not our bag. Someone else left it here. We cannot take it. That is stealing."
+
+Anna does not listen. She is greedy. She runs to the bag and grabs it. She is not graceful. She trips and falls. The bag opens and the things spill out.
+
+A man comes to the bench. He is angry. He sees Anna and Ben and the bag. He shouts at them. "Hey, you little thieves! That is my bag! How dare you steal from me!"
+
+He picks up the bag and the things. He glares at Anna and Ben. He calls the police. The police come and take Anna and Ben away. They are in trouble. They cry and say sorry. But it is too late. They have to go to the police station. They have no fun. They have a bad ending.
+Tom and Anna wanted to decorate a bag for their mom. They found a big brown bag in the kitchen and some crayons and stickers in their room. They took the bag and the crayons and stickers to the living room and started to draw and stick on the bag.
+
+"Mom will love this bag!" Tom said. "We can put some cookies in it and give it to her when she comes home."
+
+"Yes, she will be so happy!" Anna said. "But we have to be careful not to make a mess."
+
+They were having fun decorating the bag, but they did not notice that their little brother Ben was watching them. Ben was curious and wanted to join them, but he did not know how to use crayons and stickers. He saw a yellow bottle on the table and thought it was paint. He grabbed the bottle and opened it. It was lemon juice.
+
+Ben squeezed the bottle and squirted lemon juice on the bag. The juice made the bag wet and the crayons and stickers runny. It also made the bag sour.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tom shouted. "You are ruining our bag!"
+
+"Yuck, what is that?" Anna cried. "It smells bad!"
+
+They looked at the bag and saw that it was ruined. They were very sad and angry. They also saw that Ben had lemon juice on his face and hands. He was making a funny face and rubbing his eyes.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben wailed. "It hurts! It hurts!"
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry for Ben. They realized that he did not know what he was doing. They ran to him and helped him wash his face and hands. They also hugged him and said they were sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," Tom said. "We know you did not mean to ruin our bag."
+
+"We still love you, Ben," Anna said. "But next time, ask us before you touch anything."
+
+They decided to throw away the sour bag and make a new one for their mom. They also gave Ben some cookies to make him feel better. They learned to be more careful and to share their things. They hoped their mom would like their new bag.
+Lily liked to play with her mom's jewelry. She liked the shiny rings and necklaces and bracelets. She liked to put them on and pretend she was a princess. But she did not like to put them back in the box. She left them on the floor and on the bed and on the table.
+
+One day, her mom came into her room and saw the messy jewelry. She was not happy. She said to Lily, "Lily, you have to clean up your mess. You can't leave the jewelry everywhere. It can get lost or broken. And it is not yours. It is mine. You have to ask me before you play with it."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to have fun. I like your jewelry. It is so pretty. Can I play with it again?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "I love you, Lily. And I love that you like my jewelry. But you have to be careful and respectful. You can play with it sometimes, but only when I say yes. And you have to put it back in the box when you are done. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will do that. Can you help me clean up now?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, I will help you. And then we can read a story and go to sleep. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily said, "That sounds great, mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily." And they cleaned up the jewelry and read a story and went to sleep.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. But Tom is naughty. He likes to break Sam's toys with his hammer. Sam is sad and angry.
+
+One day, Sam has a new toy. It is a train. He loves his train. He puts it on the floor and makes it go. Tom sees the train. He wants to break it. He takes his hammer and sneaks behind Sam.
+
+"Tom, no!" Sam shouts. He sees Tom with the hammer. He tries to stop him. But Tom is faster. He hits the train with the hammer. The train breaks into pieces. Sam cries.
+
+"Ha ha ha!" Tom laughs. He is happy. He broke Sam's toy. He runs away with his hammer.
+
+Sam is very sad. He picks up the pieces of his train. He wishes he had his train back. He goes to his mom. He tells her what Tom did. Mom is angry. She goes to find Tom.
+
+Tom is in his room. He is sleepy. He played too much. He lies on his bed. He holds his hammer. He closes his eyes.
+
+Mom comes into his room. She sees Tom with the hammer. She knows he broke Sam's toy. She is very angry. She takes the hammer from Tom. She breaks his bed with the hammer. The bed breaks into pieces. Tom wakes up. He is scared.
+
+"Mom, no!" Tom shouts. He sees Mom with the hammer. He sees his bed broken. He cries.
+
+"Ha ha ha!" Mom says. She is not happy. She is teaching Tom a lesson. She breaks his toy with the hammer. The toy breaks into pieces. Tom cries more.
+
+"Mom, why?" Tom asks. He is very sad. He wishes he had his bed and his toy back.
+
+"Because you broke Sam's toy with your hammer. You were naughty. You made Sam sad. You need to learn to be nice and share. How do you feel now?" Mom says.
+
+Tom feels bad. He feels sorry. He says sorry to Mom. He says sorry to Sam. He learns his lesson. He does not break toys with his hammer anymore. He plays nicely with Sam. He shares his toys. He is a good brother.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: Do not break other people's things with your hammer. Be nice and share.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They wanted to give him eyes, but they did not have any stones. They saw some black coal near the house. They ran to get some.
+
+"Coal is good for eyes," Lily said. "It is round and dark."
+
+"Yes, and it is shiny too," Ben said. "Let's take some."
+
+They took some coal and ran back to the snowman. They put the coal on his face for eyes. They were happy. They smiled at the snowman.
+
+But then, they heard a loud voice. It was Dad. He was angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my coal?" he shouted. "That is for the fire, not for playing. Give it back!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know they did something bad. They dropped the coal and ran to Dad.
+
+"We are sorry, Dad," Lily said. "We wanted to make eyes for the snowman."
+
+"We did not mean to take your coal," Ben said. "We thought it was for us."
+
+Dad looked at them. He saw their sad faces. He felt sorry for them.
+
+"It's okay, kids," he said. "I know you did not know. But coal is not a toy. It is dirty and it can hurt you. Look, your hands are black and cold. Come, let's go inside and wipe them."
+
+He took them by the hand and led them to the house. He helped them wipe their hands with a warm cloth. He gave them some hot chocolate and a hug.
+
+"Next time, ask me before you take something," he said. "And be careful with the snowman. He might melt."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They thanked Dad and drank their chocolate. They felt warm and happy. They looked out the window and saw the snowman. He still had a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. But he had no eyes. He looked funny. They laughed.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to look at the clouds and make up stories about them. Tom saw a cloud that looked like a dragon. He said, "Look, Mia, a dragon cloud! It can breathe fire and fly fast!"
+
+Mia saw a different cloud that looked like a flower. She said, "No, Tom, a flower cloud! It can smell nice and grow pretty!"
+
+Tom and Mia started to argue. They both wanted their cloud to be the best. They said the same things over and over. They did not listen to each other. They repeat and repeat and repeat.
+
+A big cloud came and covered the sun. It started to rain. Tom and Mia got wet and cold. They stopped arguing and ran to find shelter. They saw a tree with a big branch. They climbed up and sat under the branch. They were still wet and cold, but they felt better.
+
+They looked at the clouds again. They saw that the dragon cloud and the flower cloud were gone. They saw new clouds that looked like different things. They saw a cloud that looked like a boat, a cloud that looked like a star, a cloud that looked like a hat.
+
+They realized that the clouds were always changing. They realized that they did not have to fight over them. They realized that they could share their stories and have fun. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They learned to be kind and respectful.
+
+They said, "Clouds are amazing! They can be anything we want them to be!" They smiled and laughed and played again. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big puddle. They want to jump in it.
+
+"Can we jump in the puddle?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, let's jump in the puddle!" Ben says.
+
+They take off their shoes and socks. They run to the puddle. They jump and splash and laugh. They get wet and muddy.
+
+They have fun in the puddle. But then, they hear a voice.
+
+"Lily! Ben! Time to go home!" It is Lily's mom.
+
+"Oh no, we are wet and muddy!" Lily says.
+
+"We need to dry off!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the bench. They find their shoes and socks. They try to put them on. But they are too wet and muddy. They do not fit. They are too tight.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily says.
+
+"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Ben says.
+
+They pull and tug and twist. But they cannot put on their shoes and socks. They are too tight.
+
+They look at each other. They are sad. They do not want to go home wet and muddy.
+
+They see a big towel. It is on the bench. It is dry and soft.
+
+"Look, a towel!" Lily says.
+
+"Maybe we can use it!" Ben says.
+
+They take the towel. They wipe their feet. They dry off. They put on their shoes and socks. They fit. They are not tight.
+
+They smile at each other. They are happy. They are not wet and muddy.
+
+They give the towel back. They say thank you. They do not know who it belongs to. But they are glad they found it.
+
+They hold hands. They run to Lily's mom.
+
+"Bye, Ben!" Lily says.
+
+"Bye, Lily!" Ben says.
+
+They hug. They are friends. They had fun in the puddle. They will play again tomorrow.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy helicopter. They liked to make it fly high in the sky and make loud noises. They pretended they were pilots and had to go on a mission.
+
+"Tom, we have to shut the door of the helicopter. It is cold and windy outside," Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily. You are smart. You know how to keep us warm and safe," Tom said. He pushed the button to shut the door of the helicopter.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a real helicopter flying over their heads. It was big and shiny and had a red cross on it. They saw a man waving from the window.
+
+"Look, Lily! It is a real helicopter! Maybe they are going to help someone who is hurt," Tom said.
+
+"Wow, Tom! It is amazing! Maybe they are heroes who save people's lives," Lily said.
+
+They watched the real helicopter fly away and then continued to play with their toy helicopter. They had fun and learned new things. They were happy and curious.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, books and games that they shared. But one day, their mom told them they had to sell some of their things. She said they needed money to buy food and clothes. Tom and Lily were sad and confused.
+
+"Why do we have to sell our things, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Because we don't have enough money, Tom. And we have too many things in our room. We need to make some space for the baby that is coming soon." Mom said.
+
+"A baby?" Lily said. "Is it a boy or a girl?"
+
+"We don't know yet, Lily. But we need to be ready for the baby. And we need to help mom and dad by selling some of our things." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at their room and wondered what they could sell. They loved all their things and didn't want to give them away. They thought it was tough to choose. But they also wanted to help their mom and dad and make room for the baby. So they decided to sell some of their toys and books that they didn't play with or read anymore. They put them in a box and took them to the yard.
+
+Mom helped them make a sign that said "Toys and books for sale". Soon, some kids came by and looked at the box. They saw some things they liked and asked Tom and Lily how much they cost.
+
+Tom and Lily didn't know how to sell things. They didn't know how much money to ask for. They asked mom for help. Mom told them to ask for one or two coins for each thing. Tom and Lily nodded and tried to sell their things.
+
+Some kids bought some toys and books and gave Tom and Lily some coins. Tom and Lily thanked them and put the coins in a jar. They felt happy that they could help their mom and dad and make some kids happy. But they also felt sad that they had to say goodbye to some of their things. They hoped the kids would take good care of them and have fun with them.
+
+At the end of the day, Tom and Lily had sold most of their things. They had a lot of coins in the jar. They gave the jar to mom and dad and hugged them. Mom and dad were proud of them and thanked them. They said they would use the money to buy food and clothes and some things for the baby. They also said they would buy Tom and Lily a new toy or book each as a reward.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and said they didn't need a new toy or book. They said they had enough things in their room. They said they were happy to have mom and dad and each other. And they said they were excited to meet the baby. Mom and dad smiled and said they loved them very much. They said they were a tough and kind family. They said they would always stick together. Tom and Lily agreed and hugged them back. They went to their room and played with their remaining things. They felt happy and hopeful. They wondered if the baby would be a boy or a girl. They wondered what they would name the baby. They wondered what the baby would look like. They wondered what the baby would like to play with. They couldn't wait to find out.
+Sara was a happy girl who liked to go to school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. She also liked to share her toys and snacks with others.
+
+One day, a new boy came to her school. His name was Tom. He was shy and did not have any friends. He sat alone in the corner and did not talk to anyone.
+
+Sara saw Tom and felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him feel welcome and happy. She decided to offer him some of her cookies at snack time. She walked over to him and said, "Hi, I am Sara. Do you want some of my cookies? They are yummy."
+
+Tom looked up and saw Sara's smile. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. I am Tom. I am new here."
+
+Sara and Tom shared the cookies and talked about their favorite things. They found out that they had a lot in common. They liked the same books, games, and animals. They became friends and played together.
+
+The other kids saw Sara and Tom having fun and joined them. They also offered Tom their toys and snacks. Tom felt happy and grateful. He made many friends and enjoyed school.

+Ben and Mia liked to play with clay. They made shapes and animals and things. One day, they wanted to make a gift for Mom. They decided to make a mug for her tea.
+
+They rolled and pressed and pinched the clay. They made a round shape with a hole in the middle. They made a handle and stuck it on the side. They used a stick to make lines and dots on the mug. They were very proud of their original mug.
+
+They put the mug in the oven to make it hard. They waited and waited. They smelled something bad. They ran to the oven and saw smoke. The mug was black and broken. The clay did not yield to the heat. It cracked and burned.
+

+
+One day, they see a poster on the wall. It says: "Come and see the real trains at the train museum. Buy your tickets now!" Lisa and Tom are very excited. They want to see the real trains. They ask their mom if they can go.
+
+Mom says: "Yes, we can go to the train museum. But we have to be careful. The trains are very old and fragile. We cannot touch them or break them. We have to follow the rules and listen to the guide. Do you understand?"
+
+Lisa and Tom nod. They say: "Yes, mom, we understand. We will be careful and good. We love trains. Can we go now?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says: "Yes, we can go now. But first, we have to buy our tickets. Come on, let's go to the bus stop. The bus will take us to the train museum."

+They asked their moms if they could go. Their moms said yes, but they had to be careful and stay together. They also gave them some snacks and water to provide for them. Lily and Sam thanked their moms and started to climb the hill.
+
+It was hard to climb the hill. It was steep and rocky. Lily and Sam helped each other. They held hands and pushed and pulled. They also took breaks and ate some snacks and drank some water. They were happy and brave.
+
+After a long time, they reached the top of the hill. They saw a big open space. It was a pass. There were trees and flowers and birds and animals. Lily and Sam were amazed. They wanted to explore the pass and see what they could find.
+
+They ran and jumped and laughed and shouted. They saw a rabbit and a squirrel and a deer and a bird. They picked some flowers and made a crown and a necklace. They had a lot of fun in the pass.
+
+They also looked at the sky and saw the sun and the clouds and the colors. They saw that it was getting late. They knew they had to go back to their moms. They said goodbye to the pass and thanked it for being so beautiful and fun.
+
+They went down the hill. It was easier to go down than to go up. They still held hands and helped each other. They also ate some snacks and drank some water. They were tired and happy.
+
+They reached the park and saw their moms. Their moms were happy to see them. They hugged and kissed them and asked them how their adventure was.

+
+The dog does not go away. It runs to Tim and Kim. It wants to bite them.
+
+Tim and Kim are scared. They run away from the dog. They see a man with a bag. The man is nice. He sees the dog and the twins.
+
+"Hey, dog, stop!" the man says. He throws a bone to the dog. The dog likes the bone. It stops chasing Tim and Kim. It runs to the bone and eats it. The bone is tasty.
+
+"Thank you, man!" Tim and Kim say. "You are good!"
+
+"You're welcome, kids!" the man says. "The dog is not bad. He is just hungry. He likes bones, not spikes."

+Tom and Anna were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were having a tea party with their toys. Tom had a blue cup and Anna had a pink cup. They filled their cups with water from the hose.
+
+"Look, Anna, my cup is shining!" Tom said. He held his cup up to the sun and saw the light bounce off it.
+
+"Wow, your cup is very shiny, Tom. Can I see?" Anna asked. She reached out her hand to take Tom's cup.
+
+Tom did not want to share his cup. He pulled it away from Anna and said, "No, this is my cup. You have your own cup."
+
+Anna felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's words. She said, "That is not nice, Tom. You are not generous. Generous means you share with others. I always share with you."
+
+Tom looked at Anna's face. He saw that she was crying. He felt sorry and ashamed. He did not want to make Anna cry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. You are right. I was not generous. Here, you can have my cup. I will use your cup."
+
+Anna smiled and wiped her tears. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are generous. I like your cup and I like you."

+They swapped their cups and hugged. They continued to play and have fun. They learned to be generous and kind.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to look for bugs and flowers. They see a big green leaf and want to see what is under it.
+
+"Let's peek under the leaf," Anna says. "Maybe we will find a bug."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But be careful. Some bugs can bite."
+
+They lift the leaf very slowly and quietly. They see a small brown cricket. It has long legs and antennas. It makes a chirping sound.
+
+"Wow, look at the cricket," Anna says. "It is so cute. Can we keep it?"
+
+"No, we can't," Ben says. "It is not a pet. It belongs to the garden. We have to let it go."
+
+"But I want to play with it," Anna says. "Please, Ben, just for a little while."
+
+"Fine, but only for a little while," Ben says. "And don't touch it. It might jump away."
+
+They put the leaf back and watch the cricket. They see it move its legs and antennas. They hear it chirp. They think it is happy.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud meow. They turn around and see their cat, Fluffy. Fluffy is looking at the leaf with big eyes. He is hungry and wants to catch the cricket.
+
+"Uh-oh, Fluffy is here," Ben says. "He likes to eat bugs. He thinks they are yummy."
+
+"Run, cricket, run," Anna says. "Fluffy is bad. He will hurt you."
+
+They try to scare Fluffy away, but he is faster. He pounces on the leaf and grabs the cricket in his mouth. He runs away with his prize.
+
+"Fluffy, no!" Anna and Ben shout. "Give back the cricket. He is our friend."
+
+But Fluffy does not listen. He is too busy eating the cricket. He thinks it is yummy.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They liked the cricket. They wanted to play with it. They wish Fluffy was nicer.
+
+They go back to the house and tell their mom what happened. She hugs them and says she is sorry. She says crickets are part of nature and sometimes cats eat them. She says they can look for other bugs and flowers in the garden. She says they can also play with Fluffy when he is not hungry.
+
+Anna and Ben feel a little better. They know their mom is right. They still miss the cricket, but they also love Fluffy. They decide to play with him later and give him a toy mouse. They hope he will like it more than crickets. They think it is yummy.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals. They see cows, pigs, chickens and a big bull. The bull is black and has horns. He is very strong.
+
+Tom says, "I want to ride the bull. He looks fun. I am brave."
+
+Sue says, "No, Tom. The bull is not fun. He is angry. He can hurt you. You are not brave. You are silly."
+
+Tom does not listen to Sue. He runs to the bull. He tries to climb on his back. The bull does not like Tom. He shakes his head. He snorts. He kicks. He throws Tom off his back. Tom falls on the ground. He cries.
+
+Sue runs to Tom. She helps him up. She says, "Are you okay, Tom? I told you not to ride the bull. He is not a toy. He is a big animal. You have to be humble. You have to respect him."
+
+Tom says, "I am sorry, Sue. You are right. I was silly. I was not humble. I did not respect the bull. I will not do it again. I am glad you are my friend."
+
+Sue says, "It is okay, Tom. I am glad you are okay. I am your friend. Come, let us go and play with the chickens. They are nice. They are humble. They do not hurt us."
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big jar of salt on the kitchen table. She wondered what it was and how it tasted. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar.
+
+"Be careful, Lily!" her mom said. "That is salt. It is not good to eat too much of it. It can make you thirsty and sick."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She opened the jar and took a pinch of salt. She put it in her mouth and made a face. It was very salty and bitter. She did not like it at all. She spit it out and ran to the sink. She drank some water to wash away the bad taste.
+
+"Yuck!" she said. "Salt is not yummy. Why do you have it, mom?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "Salt is not for eating by itself, sweetie. It is for adding flavor to some foods, like soup or eggs. But only a little bit. Too much salt is not good for you. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She learned something new today. She decided to be more careful and ask mom before trying new things. She also said sorry for making a mess with the salt. Mom forgave her and kissed her cheek.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, like cows, sheep, and chickens. But their favorite animal was Piggy, the big pink pig who lived in the barn. Piggy was very friendly and smart, and he liked to snort and roll in the mud.
+
+One day, Tim and Kim decided to bring Piggy a treat. They found some apples in the kitchen and put them in a basket. They ran to the barn and called Piggy's name. Piggy heard them and came out of his pen. He was very happy to see them and the apples. He ate the apples quickly and licked his lips.
+
+Tim and Kim wanted to play with Piggy, but Piggy was full and sleepy. He yawned and lay down on the hay. He closed his eyes and started to snore. Tim and Kim tried to wake him up, but he did not move. They thought Piggy was boring and did not want to play with them. They felt sad and left the barn.
+
+But Piggy was not boring. He was just pretending to sleep. He had a plan. He waited until Tim and Kim were far away, then he got up and sneaked out of the barn. He followed their footsteps and found them in the garden. He surprised them by jumping out of the bushes and making a loud noise. Tim and Kim screamed and laughed. They realized Piggy was not boring, but funny and clever. They hugged him and played with him until it was time to go home. They were very happy and so was Piggy. He had brought them a treat too: a joke.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Tom had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They pretended they were racing each other.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to win!" Tom said.
+
+"No, I'm going to win!" Lily said.
+
+They pushed their cars harder and harder, until Tom's car hit a rock and flew into the air. It landed on the roof of the house and got stuck.
+
+"Oh no, my car!" Tom cried.
+
+He ran to the house and tried to reach his car, but it was too high. He looked at Lily and saw that she was laughing.
+
+"Ha, ha, you lost your car!" Lily said.
+
+Tom felt angry and ashamed. He wanted his car back. He thought of a way to get it.
+
+He saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and threw it at Lily's car. The stick hit the car and sent it flying into the bushes.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily shouted.
+
+She ran to the bushes and tried to find her car, but it was hidden among the leaves. She looked at Tom and saw that he was smiling.
+
+"Ha, ha, you lost your car too!" Tom said.
+
+Lily felt sad and ashamed. She wanted her car back. She thought of a way to get it.
+
+She saw a hose on the wall. She turned it on and sprayed water at Tom. The water hit Tom and made him wet and cold.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice!" Tom yelled.
+
+He ran to the hose and tried to turn it off, but it was too tight. He looked at Lily and saw that she was giggling.
+
+"Ha, ha, you are wet and cold!" Lily said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt angry and ashamed. They wanted their cars back. They thought of a way to get them.
+
+They saw their mom coming out of the house. She had a big smile and a basket of cookies. She saw their cars on the roof and in the bushes. She saw their stick and their hose. She saw their wet and dirty clothes. She saw their angry and ashamed faces.
+
+"What are you doing, my loves?" she asked.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they had been bad. They wanted their mom's power and love. They thought of a way to get it.
+
+They ran to their mom and hugged her. They said they were sorry and they loved her. They asked her to help them get their cars back.
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she was sorry and she loved them too. She said she would help them get their cars back. She said they should share and be kind to each other.
+
+Tom and Lily felt happy and ashamed. They had their mom's power and love. They had their cars back. They had each other. They said they would share and be kind to each other.
+
+They ate their cookies and played with their cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. They pretended they were racing each other.
+
+But this time, they also said, "You are fast!" and "You are good!" and "You are my friend!"
+Anna and Ben love to swim. They have a big pool in their backyard. Every day, they put on their swim suits and jump into the water. They splash and kick and laugh.
+
+One day, Anna sees a shiny toy in the pool. It is a brilliant fish that can swim by itself. She wants to play with it. She swims to the fish and grabs it.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Ben says. He swims after Anna and tries to take the fish back. They tug and pull and shout.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes out of the house and sees them fighting. She is not happy. "Give me the fish, Anna. You have to share with your brother."
+
+"But I saw it first!" Anna says. She holds the fish tight.
+
+"It doesn't matter who saw it first. It is Ben's toy. He got it for his birthday. You have to be nice and let him play with it too." Mom says.
+
+Anna feels sad. She likes the fish. She thinks it is the best toy ever. She does not want to give it up.
+
+"Please, Mom, can I keep it for a little while?" Anna asks.
+
+Mom thinks for a moment. She sees that Anna really loves the fish. She also sees that Ben is angry and hurt.
+
+"Okay, Anna, you can keep the fish for a little while. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise to give it back to Ben when he asks. And you have to promise to play with him nicely. Can you do that?" Mom asks.
+
+Anna nods. She does not want to make Mom or Ben mad. She wants to be a good sister.
+
+"I promise, Mom. I promise to give it back and play nicely." Anna says.
+
+"Good girl. And Ben, you have to promise me something too. You have to promise to let Anna play with the fish for a little while. And you have to promise to be patient and kind. Can you do that?" Mom asks.
+
+Ben nods. He does not want to lose his toy. He also wants to have fun with Anna.
+
+"I promise, Mom. I promise to let her play and be kind." Ben says.
+
+"Good boy. Now, why don't you two hug and say sorry to each other?" Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben hug and say sorry. They feel better. They smile and swim to the other side of the pool. They take turns playing with the fish. They share and laugh and have a brilliant time. They keep their promises. Mom watches them and smiles too. She is proud of them. She loves them very much.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to talk to each other and share their toys.
+
+One day, Lily brought a new doll to the park. She was very proud of her doll. She said to Tom, "Look at my doll. She is very pretty and soft. She has a pink dress and a bow in her hair. Her name is Daisy."
+
+Tom looked at the doll and smiled. He said, "She is very pretty and soft. I like her dress and her bow. Can I hold her for a little bit?"
+
+Lily nodded and gave him the doll. Tom held the doll and hugged her. He said, "She is very warm and cozy. I like her a lot. Thank you for sharing, Lily."
+
+They played with the doll for a while, then they decided to go on the slide. Lily said, "Let's go on the slide. It is very fun and fast. But don't forget to bring Daisy. She likes the slide too."
+
+Tom said, "OK, let's go. I won't forget Daisy. She is my friend too." He put the doll on the ground and ran to the slide with Lily. They took turns sliding down and laughing.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big dog came to the park. He saw the doll on the ground and thought it was a toy. He ran to the doll and grabbed it with his mouth. He ran away with the doll, wagging his tail.
+
+Lily and Tom did not see the dog. They were too busy sliding and having fun. They forgot about the doll. They forgot about Daisy.
+
+When they were tired of sliding, they went back to the ground. They looked for the doll, but they could not find her. They looked everywhere, but she was gone.
+
+Lily started to cry. She said, "Where is Daisy? Where is my doll? I love her so much. She is my favorite. Who took her?"
+
+Tom felt very sorry. He said, "I don't know, Lily. I don't know where she is. I forgot to bring her to the slide. I forgot her name. I am very sorry. I am a bad friend."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other. They were very sad. They wished they could find Daisy. They wished they could remember her name. They wished they could make her warm and cozy again.
+Mia and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to hop like bunnies and make funny noises. They saw a lovely figure on the grass. It was a fairy with wings and a dress.
+
+"Hello, fairy," Mia said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The fairy smiled and nodded. She flew up and down and showed them how to make magic with her wand. She made flowers grow and butterflies appear. Mia and Ben clapped and laughed.
+
+"Thank you, fairy," Ben said. "You are very nice."
+
+The fairy winked and said, "You are welcome, children. You are very fun. But I have to go now. My friends are waiting for me."
+
+She gave them each a hug and a kiss. Then she flew away, leaving a trail of sparkles. Mia and Ben waved goodbye and kept hopping like bunnies. They were very happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and share. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big tree with many birds. They observe the birds with their eyes. They see how the birds fly and sing.
+
+"Look, Anna, that bird has food in its mouth. It is taking it to its nest," Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, maybe it has babies to feed. It is a good bird," Anna says.
+
+They watch the bird fly to a hole in the tree. They see another bird waiting there. The bird gives the food to the other bird. Then it flies away to find more food.
+
+"Wow, the birds are working hard. They are helping each other," Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, they are. They are a team. They love each other," Anna says.
+
+They hear their moms calling them. It is time to go home. They run to their moms. They tell them what they saw.
+
+"That is very nice, Anna and Ben. You learned something today. You learned how to observe and appreciate nature. You learned how to be kind and cooperative. You learned how to be like the birds," their moms say.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They hug their moms. They are happy. They are good friends. They are like the birds.
+Lily liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She drew flowers, animals, and houses. She was very proud of her pictures and showed them to her mom and dad. They said her pictures were very pretty and gave her hugs.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought her crayons and paper with her. She saw a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. She wanted to play with them, but she also wanted to draw a picture of the park. She decided to draw first and then play.
+
+She sat on a bench and started to draw. She drew the slide and the swing and the sandbox. She also drew some trees and birds and clouds. She was very happy with her picture. She looked around and saw a boy playing with a ball. She thought he might like to see her picture. She got up and walked over to him.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily," she said. "Do you want to see my picture?"
+
+The boy looked at her and then at her picture. He made a face and said, "No, I don't. Your picture is ugly. You can't draw. Go away."
+
+Lily felt very sad and hurt. She didn't understand why the boy was so rude to her. She didn't do anything wrong. She just wanted to share her picture. She ran back to the bench and started to cry.
+
+Her mom saw her and came over to her. She hugged her and asked her what was wrong.
+
+"Lily, what happened?" she asked.
+
+"Mom, I met a boy and he was very rude to me. He said my picture was ugly and I can't draw. He told me to go away," Lily sobbed.
+
+Her mom wiped her tears and said, "Lily, I'm sorry that the boy was rude to you. He was very mean and he didn't know what he was talking about. Your picture is beautiful and you can draw very well. You have a lot of talent and creativity. Don't let him make you feel bad. He doesn't know you or your picture. Maybe he was having a bad day or he was jealous of you. But that's no excuse to be rude. You did nothing wrong. You were very kind and friendly to him. You should be proud of yourself and your picture."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She felt better and said, "Thank you, mom. You're right. I am proud of my picture and myself. I don't care what he said. He was rude and I don't want to play with him. Can I play on the slide now?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, you can. Go ahead and have fun. I'll be right here. I love you, Lily."
+
+"I love you too, mom," Lily said. She put her picture and crayons in her backpack and ran to the slide. She had fun and forgot about the rude boy. She made some new friends who liked her picture and played with her. She was happy and had a good day.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a big doll that she liked to hug and dress up. Ben had a small car that he liked to zoom and crash. They were having fun, but they also wanted to play with each other's toys.
+
+"Can I play with your doll, Anna?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, it's mine. You have your car," Anna said.
+
+"But I want to see how she looks in my car. Please, Anna, let me play with her," Ben begged.
+
+"No, Ben, you are too rough. You will break her or make her dirty. Go away," Anna said.
+
+Ben was angry. He wanted to play with the doll. He waited until Anna was not looking and grabbed the doll from her arms. He ran to his car and put the doll inside.
+
+"Hey, give me back my doll!" Anna shouted. She chased after Ben and tried to pull the doll out of the car.
+
+"Let go, Anna, it's my turn!" Ben shouted. He held on to the doll and the car.
+
+They both pulled and pulled, but neither of them would release the doll. They started to cry and yell.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Anna and Ben fighting over the doll and the car. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing, Anna and Ben? Why are you fighting?" she asked.
+
+"Ben took my doll and he won't give her back!" Anna said.
+
+"Anna won't let me play with her doll and she's being mean!" Ben said.
+
+Mom sighed. She took the doll and the car from their hands. She looked at them with a gentle smile.
+
+"Anna and Ben, you are both being silly. You have your own toys that you love, but you also have to share and take turns. Fighting is not nice. It hurts your feelings and your toys. Do you want to say sorry to each other?" she asked.
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for making each other sad. They nodded.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I was being selfish. You can play with my doll for a little while," Anna said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I was being rude. You can play with my car for a little while," Ben said.
+
+They hugged each other and said thank you to mom. Mom gave them back their toys and a kiss on the cheek.
+
+"Good. Now, why don't you play nicely together? I have a surprise for you. I made some cookies with salt and sugar. They are very yummy. Do you want some?" she asked.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They loved mom's cookies. They said yes and followed mom to the kitchen. They forgot about their fight and enjoyed their snack. They were happy.
+Lila and Tom are playing in the yard. They see a big pile of dust near the fence. They wonder what it is.
+
+"Let's test it," Tom says. He picks up some dust and rubs it on his hand. "It feels soft and dry."
+
+Lila wants to test it too. She picks up some dust and smells it. "It smells funny and old."
+
+Tom has an idea. He puts some dust in his mouth. He makes a face and spits it out. "It tastes bad and bitter. Yuck!"
+
+Lila laughs at Tom. She thinks he is silly. She sees a flower near the dust. She picks it and smells it. "It smells good and sweet."
+
+She gives the flower to Tom. He smiles and smells it. "It smells good and sweet. Thank you."
+
+They throw away the dust and play with the flower. They are happy and forget about the dust.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many things: birds, flowers, swings, slides. They also saw a long line of ants on the ground. They followed the ants to see where they were going.
+
+"Look, Lily, the ants are carrying food!" Tom said. He pointed to the tiny bits of bread and fruit that the ants were holding with their mouths.
+
+"Where are they taking the food?" Lily asked.
+
+"To their home, I think. Maybe they have a big family to feed," Tom said.
+
+They reached a small hill with a hole in it. The ants were going in and out of the hole with their food.
+
+"Can we see their home?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's too dark and small for us," Tom said.
+
+He bent down and tried to peek into the hole. He saw nothing but dirt.
+
+"Hello, ants!" he shouted. "Can we be your friends?"
+
+The ants did not answer. They did not understand Tom. They only understood their own language. They were busy working and sharing their food.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted to play with the ants and learn more about them.
+
+"Maybe we can give them some of our food," Lily said. She took out a cookie from her pocket and broke it into small pieces. She put some pieces near the hole.
+
+"Here, ants, this is for you. It's very tasty," she said.
+
+Some of the ants smelled the cookie and came closer. They touched it with their antennas and tasted it with their mouths. They liked it. It was sweet and crunchy. They took some pieces and carried them to their home.
+
+The ants were happy. They understood that Tom and Lily were kind and generous. They made a sound with their mouths that sounded like "thank you".
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They felt happy too. They understood that the ants were friendly and grateful. They made a sound with their mouths that sounded like "you're welcome".
+
+They watched the ants for a while and then waved goodbye. They went back to their mom and told her about their new friends.
+Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with a big ball in the park. They would roll the ball to each other and laugh.
+
+One day, a rude boy came to the park. He saw Tim and Sam's ball and wanted it. He ran to the ball and kicked it away. He said, "This is my ball now. Go away!"
+
+Tim and Sam were sad and angry. They asked the rude boy to give back their ball. They said, "That is not your ball. That is our ball. We were playing with it. Please give it back!"
+
+The rude boy did not listen. He said, "No, this is my ball. You can't have it. You are silly and dumb. I am better than you." He threw the ball in the air and caught it. He smiled and laughed.
+
+Tim and Sam did not know what to do. They wanted their ball back, but they were afraid of the rude boy. They looked around for help, but no one was there. The sun was going down and it was getting dark. They could not see the ball or the rude boy very well. They heard a loud noise and a bright light. They saw a car coming fast. The rude boy did not see the car. He was still playing with the ball. The car hit the rude boy and the ball. The rude boy and the ball flew in the air and landed on the ground. They did not move.
+
+Tim and Sam were shocked and scared. They ran to the rude boy and the ball. They saw blood and tears. They saw the driver of the car get out and call for help. They heard sirens and saw more lights. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had their ball back. They wished the rude boy was not rude. They wished they never came to the park. They wished it was a good day. But it was not. It was a bad day. A very bad day.
+Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with their furry toys. Sara had a brown bear and Tom had a white rabbit. One day, they had a big fight. Sara wanted to play with the rabbit, but Tom said no. Tom wanted to play with the bear, but Sara said no. They both got angry and shouted at each other.
+
+"Give me the rabbit!" Sara yelled.
+
+"Give me the bear!" Tom yelled.
+
+They pulled and tugged at the toys until they ripped. The stuffing came out and the toys looked sad. Sara and Tom stopped and saw what they had done. They felt sorry and sad. They looked at each other and started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I was mean to you and your bear." Tom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I was mean to you and your rabbit." Sara said.
+
+They hugged and said they were sorry. They decided to share their toys and fix them. They used some thread and a needle to sew the holes. They made the toys look happy again. They were happy too. They learned to forgive and be kind. They played together and had fun. They were best friends again.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls in her room. She had many dolls and she gave them names and clothes. She liked to order them to do things, like sit down, drink tea, or sing a song. She was the boss of her dolls and they always listened to her.
+
+One day, she heard a knock on the door. She opened it and saw a boy with curly hair and a big smile. He was her new neighbor and he wanted to play with her. He said his name was Ben and he had a truck and a ball.
+
+Sara was not sure if she wanted to play with Ben. She liked her dolls and she did not want to share them. She said to Ben, "You can play with me, but you have to do what I say. I am the boss and you are the doll."
+
+Ben did not like that. He said, "No, I am not a doll. I am a boy and I want to play with my truck and my ball. You can be the boss of your dolls, but not of me."
+
+Sara and Ben started to argue. They raised their voices and made a lot of noise. They did not hear Sara's mom coming up the stairs. She heard them and she was not happy. She said to them, "Stop it, both of you. You are making too much noise and you are not being nice to each other. You have to learn to share and to take turns. If you want to play together, you have to respect each other. If you don't, you have to go to your own rooms and play alone."
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to go to their own rooms and play alone. They wanted to play together, but they did not know how. They said to Sara's mom, "We are sorry, mom. We want to play together, but we don't know what to play. Can you help us?"
+
+Sara's mom smiled and said, "Of course, I can help you. Why don't you try to play something that you both like? Maybe you can play with the dolls and the truck and the ball. You can take turns to order and to follow. You can make up a story and have fun. You can be friends and not fight."
+
+Sara and Ben liked that idea. They said, "Thank you, mom. We will try to play nicely and have fun. We will be friends and not fight."
+
+Sara's mom left them to play and went back downstairs. She was glad that they were getting along. She hoped that they would have a peaceful afternoon and that they would learn to play together. She was happy that Sara had a new neighbor and a new friend.
+Sara and Ben wanted to play outside, but the weather was bad. It was cold and rainy and windy. They were bored and sad in their house. They asked their mom what they could do.
+
+Mom looked at the weather on her phone. She said, "The weather will be better tomorrow. But today, I recommend you stay inside and do something fun. You can read books, or draw pictures, or play with your toys. You can also help me bake some cookies for later."
+
+Sara and Ben liked the idea of baking cookies. They went to the kitchen and put on their aprons. Mom showed them how to measure the flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. She let them stir the dough and cut out shapes with the cookie cutters. They made stars, hearts, and circles.
+
+They put the cookies in the oven and waited for them to bake. They smelled so good. Sara and Ben were happy and excited. They forgot about the bad weather. They were not bored and sad anymore.
+
+Mom took out the cookies and let them cool on a rack. She said, "You did a great job, Sara and Ben. You are very good helpers. I'm proud of you. Now, you can decorate the cookies with icing and sprinkles. You can also eat some, but not too many. You don't want to get a tummy ache."
+
+Sara and Ben thanked their mom and started to decorate the cookies. They made them colorful and pretty. They ate some and shared some with their mom. They said, "These are the best cookies ever. You are the best mom ever. Thank you for recommending this fun activity."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I love you very much. And don't worry about the weather. Tomorrow, we can play outside and enjoy the sun."
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play at the park. They loved to swing on the swings and feel the wind in their hair. Sometimes they would swing so high that they could see the cars and buses in the traffic on the road.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom. Mom said they could swing for a while, but then they had to go home for lunch. Anna and Ben nodded and ran to the swings. They had so much fun that they did not hear mom calling them.
+
+"Anna, Ben, it's time to go!" mom said. "We have to cross the road before the traffic gets too busy."
+
+But Anna and Ben did not want to stop swinging. They were stubborn and ignored mom. They swung higher and higher, laughing and shouting.
+
+"Anna, Ben, please listen to me!" mom said again. "The traffic is getting louder and faster. It's not safe to cross the road now. Come on, let's go!"
+
+But Anna and Ben still did not listen. They thought they knew better than mom. They thought they could cross the road whenever they wanted.
+
+They jumped off the swings and ran to the road. They did not look left and right. They did not see the big truck coming. They did not hear mom screaming.
+
+The truck driver saw them and tried to stop. But it was too late. The truck hit Anna and Ben and knocked them down. They felt a lot of pain and cried.
+
+Mom ran to them and hugged them. She was very scared and sad. She called for help. The truck driver was sorry and said he was sorry. The people in the traffic stopped and looked.
+
+Anna and Ben learned a hard lesson. They learned that they should listen to mom and obey her. They learned that the traffic was dangerous and they should be careful. They learned that being stubborn was not good and could hurt them.
+
+They said sorry to mom and the truck driver. They said they would never do it again. They hoped they would get better soon and be able to swing again. But they would always remember to listen to mom and be safe.
+Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They have fun and share the blocks.
+
+One day, they find a new box of blocks. The blocks are very pretty and shiny. They are delicate. They can break easily. Anna and Ben want to play with the new blocks.
+
+They open the box and take out the blocks. They start to build a big castle with the blocks. They are careful not to drop the blocks. They are happy and proud of their castle.
+
+But then, Max comes. Max is a big boy. He is not nice. He likes to break things. He sees Anna and Ben's castle. He wants to ruin it. He runs to the castle and pushes it. The blocks fall. The castle falls. The blocks break. Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They cry and shout at Max.
+
+Max laughs. He does not care. He runs away. He is not sorry. He is mean.
+
+Anna and Ben hug each other. They are sad. They look at the broken blocks. They cannot fix them. They put the blocks back in the box. They do not want to play with them anymore.
+
+They go to their old box of blocks. The blocks are not pretty and shiny. They are not delicate. They are strong. They do not break easily. Anna and Ben build a new tower with the old blocks. They are careful and gentle. They are happy and proud of their tower.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn that pretty and shiny things are not always good. They learn that delicate things can break easily. They learn that strong things can last longer. They learn that they should be careful and gentle with their things. They learn that they should be nice and kind to each other. They learn that they should not be like Max.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big red ball. They kick the ball to each other. They laugh and smile.
+
+One day, they see a new boy in the park. He is sitting on a bench. He has a small blue car. He does not play with anyone. He looks sad.
+
+Anna and Ben want to be nice. They go to the new boy. They say hello. They ask his name. He says his name is Leo. He says he is new in town. He says he has no friends.
+
+Anna and Ben say they can be his friends. They ask him if he wants to play with them. They say they have a big red ball. They say it is fun.
+
+Leo smiles. He says he likes cars. He says he has a lot of cars at home. He says he is proud of his cars. He says he can show them his cars.
+
+Anna and Ben say they like cars too. They say they want to see his cars. They say they can play with his cars and his ball. They say they can share.
+
+Leo is happy. He says yes. He says they are nice. He says he is glad he met them. He picks up his small blue car. He follows Anna and Ben. They run to his house. They leave a trail of dust behind them. They are friends.
+Ben and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big puddle of water and decided to jump in it. They had fun splashing and laughing, but they did not see the sharp rock in the puddle.
+
+Ben stepped on the rock and hurt his knee. He cried out in pain and fell down. Mia saw him and ran to help him. She saw blood on his knee and felt sorry for him. She took off her scarf and wrapped it around his knee. She said, "Don't cry, Ben. I will help you."
+
+She helped him stand up and walk to the house. She asked her mom for some water and a band-aid. She gave Ben some water to drink and put the band-aid on his knee. She said, "There, you will feel better soon. You are brave, Ben."
+
+Ben smiled and thanked Mia. He said, "You are a good friend, Mia. You are gentle and kind. I am sorry I jumped in the puddle without looking. I was silly."
+
+Mia hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. We all make mistakes. But we can learn from them and be careful next time. I am glad you are okay."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They learned that playing outside is fun, but they have to watch out for dangers. They also learned that friends help each other when they are hurt. They were happy and grateful.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to look for stones of different shapes and colors. They had a basket to put their stones in.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a shiny stone!" Lila said, holding up a smooth, silver stone.
+
+"Wow, that's a pretty stone, Lila. Can I see it?" Tom asked, reaching out his hand.
+
+Lila gave him the stone and he rubbed it with his fingers. He felt something move inside the stone. He was curious. He shook the stone and heard a rattling sound.
+
+"What's that?" he wondered.
+
+He opened the stone and saw a tiny watch. It had a face, two hands and numbers. It was ticking.
+
+"Look, Lila, it's a watch!" he exclaimed, showing her the stone.
+
+"A watch? How did it get in the stone?" Lila asked, surprised.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone put it there. Maybe it's a magic stone," Tom said, fascinated.
+
+He put the watch on his wrist and closed the stone. He liked the watch. It made him feel grown-up.
+
+"Can I have the stone, Tom?" Lila asked, feeling left out.
+
+"Sorry, Lila, I like the stone. It's mine now," Tom said, holding the stone tightly.
+
+"But I found the stone, Tom. It's not fair. You have the watch and the stone. I have nothing," Lila said, feeling sad.
+
+She looked around and saw another stone. It was big and round and red. She picked it up and gave it to Tom.
+
+"Here, Tom, you can have this stone. It's bigger and redder than the other one. Maybe it has something inside too. You can open it and see. Then you can give me back the shiny stone," she said, hoping he would agree.
+
+Tom looked at the red stone. He was curious. He wondered what was inside. He gave Lila the shiny stone and took the red one.
+
+"OK, Lila, I'll replace the stone. But only for a minute. Then I want the shiny stone back," he said, opening the red stone.
+
+He gasped. Inside the red stone was a spider. It was hairy and black and had eight legs. It crawled out of the stone and onto Tom's hand.
+
+"Ah! A spider!" he screamed, dropping the stone and the watch.
+
+He ran away, shaking his hand and crying.
+
+Lila picked up the shiny stone and the watch. She smiled. She liked the shiny stone and the watch. They were hers now.
+
+She put the watch on her wrist and closed the stone. She felt happy.
+
+She left the red stone and the spider on the ground. She didn't like spiders. They were scary.
+
+She ran after Tom and hugged him.
+
+"Don't worry, Tom, it's just a spider. It won't hurt you. Here, you can have the shiny stone and the watch back. I don't need them. I just want to play with you," she said, giving him the stone and the watch.
+
+Tom stopped crying and smiled. He hugged Lila back.
+
+"Thank you, Lila, you're very kind. I'm sorry I was greedy. You can have the shiny stone and the watch. They're yours. I just want to play with you too," he said, giving her the stone and the watch.
+
+Lila and Tom put the stone and the watch in their basket. They didn't care about them anymore. They cared about each other.
+
+They held hands and ran to the swings. They laughed and played and had fun.
+
+They were friends.
+Sara loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long yellow hair and a pretty pink dress. Sara always took Lily with her when she went to the park, to the store, or to visit her grandma.
+
+One day, Sara and Lily went to the park with Sara's mom. Sara saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She ran to the slide, holding Lily in her hand. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. She looked down and saw how high she was. She felt scared.
+
+"Sara, are you okay?" her mom asked from below.
+
+Sara nodded, but she was not okay. She wanted to go down, but she did not know how. She held Lily tighter and closed her eyes.
+
+Suddenly, she felt a gentle push on her back. She opened her eyes and saw a boy behind her. He had brown hair and a friendly smile. He said, "Don't be afraid. I'll help you. Just slide down and I'll catch you."
+
+Sara looked at the boy and felt a little better. She said, "Thank you. What's your name?"
+
+"I'm Ben," the boy said. "And you?"
+
+"I'm Sara. And this is Lily," Sara said, showing him her doll.
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Lily is very pretty. Are you ready to slide?"
+
+Sara nodded and let go of the ladder. She slid down fast and felt the wind in her hair. She screamed, but it was a happy scream. She reached the bottom and Ben caught her in his arms. He said, "You did it! You're brave!"
+
+Sara smiled and hugged him. She said, "You're kind. And compassionate. You helped me when I was scared."
+
+Ben smiled and hugged her back. He said, "You're welcome. And you're sweet. And smart. You remember big words like compassionate."
+
+Sara and Ben became friends. They played together in the park, with Lily and Ben's toy car. They shared their snacks and stories. They had fun.
+
+Sara never forgot that day. She always remembered Ben and how he helped her on the slide. She always remembered his brown hair, his friendly smile, and his compassionate heart. She always remembered Lily, her favorite doll, and how she was with her when she met Ben. She always remembered how happy she was.
+Lily and Ben were very excited to visit the museum with their mom. They wanted to see the enormous wreck of the old ship that was in the big hall. Mom said the ship was very old and had many stories to tell.
+
+When they got to the museum, they followed the signs to the big hall. They saw the wreck of the old ship. It was very big and had many holes and cracks. Lily and Ben wondered what happened to the ship and who was on it.
+
+They saw a man who worked at the museum. He was wearing a blue shirt and a badge. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, do you want to learn more about the ship?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked to learn new things. The man said, "This ship was called the Titanic. It was a very big and beautiful ship that sailed across the ocean. But one night, it hit a big piece of ice and sank. Many people were on the ship and many of them did not make it."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad for the people on the ship. They asked the man, "How did they find the wreck of the ship?"
+
+The man said, "They used a special machine that went under the water and took pictures of the ship. Then they brought some parts of the ship to the museum so people can see them and remember the ship and the people."
+
+Lily and Ben thanked the man for telling them about the ship. They looked at the wreck of the ship and imagined how it was before it sank. They learned a lot from their visit to the museum. They told their mom they wanted to come back again.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with cars. They have a race with their cars every day. They see who is faster and who can go farther.
+
+One day, Tom's car is not working. He tries to make it go, but it does not move. He looks at his car and sees a hole. His car is rotting. He is sad. He does not want to race with Jen anymore.
+
+Jen sees Tom's car. She sees the hole and the rot. She feels sorry for Tom. She does not want him to be lonely. She has an idea. She goes to her house and gets her old car. She gives it to Tom.
+
+"Here, Tom. You can have my old car. It is not rotting. It is still good. We can race with it."
+
+Tom is happy. He thanks Jen. He takes her old car. He and Jen race with their cars again. They have fun. They are not lonely. They are friends.
+Sara and Ben like to play with flags. They have many flags of different colors and shapes. They use the flags to make games and pretend they are in different places.
+
+One day, they find a big gray flag in the attic. It is old and dusty, but they think it is cool. They wonder what it means and where it came from.
+
+"Let's use this flag to play pirates!" Ben says. He ties the flag to a stick and waves it in the air. "Arrr, matey, I am the captain of this ship!"
+
+"Okay, I will be your first mate!" Sara says. She puts on a hat and a scarf and holds a wooden sword. "We have to find the treasure and fight the bad guys!"
+
+They run around the yard, pretending they are sailing on a big boat. They use a sandbox as an island, a slide as a plank, and a swing as a cannon. They have a lot of fun and make a lot of noise.
+
+But then, they hear a voice from the window. It is their grandpa, who lives with them. He looks angry and sad.
+
+"Hey, you two, come here!" he says. "Why are you playing with that flag? Do you know what it is?"
+
+Sara and Ben stop playing and go to the window. They see their grandpa holding the gray flag. He has tears in his eyes.
+
+"This flag is from the war," he says. "It is a bad flag. It hurt many people and made many people sad. I was in the war and I saw many bad things. You should not play with this flag. It is not a toy. It is a memory."
+
+Sara and Ben feel sorry for their grandpa. They did not know the flag was from the war. They did not mean to make him sad.
+
+"We are sorry, grandpa," they say. "We did not know. We just wanted to play. We will not use this flag anymore. We love you, grandpa."
+
+They hug their grandpa and he hugs them back. He smiles and wipes his eyes.
+
+"It's okay, my dears," he says. "I know you did not know. You are good kids. You can play with the other flags, but not this one. This one is for remembering. And for hoping. Hoping that there will be no more wars and no more bad flags."
+
+He folds the gray flag and puts it away. He takes out another flag, a colorful one, and gives it to Sara and Ben.
+
+"Here, use this flag instead," he says. "This is a flag of peace. It means love and friendship and happiness. It is a good flag. Play with this flag and have fun. And remember, grandpa loves you, too."
+Sara liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She made pictures of flowers, animals and people. She wanted to be a painter when she grew up.
+
+One day, she saw a man painting a house. He had a big ladder and a big bucket of paint. He painted the house blue. Sara thought it was a lovely color. She wanted to paint with him.
+
+She went to the man and said, "Hello, I am Sara. I like to paint too. Can I borrow your paint and brush?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "Hello, Sara. I am Tom. I am a painter. You can borrow my paint and brush, but you have to be careful. The paint is wet and the ladder is high. Do you want to paint the fence?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Tom. You are very nice."
+
+Tom gave Sara a small brush and a small cup of paint. He helped her to paint the fence. Sara painted it blue too. She made some flowers and stars on it. She was very happy.
+
+Tom looked at Sara's painting and said, "You are a very good painter, Sara. You made the fence look lovely. I am proud of you."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a very good painter too. You made the house look lovely. I am happy to paint with you."
+
+They finished painting and cleaned their brushes. Sara gave back the paint and brush to Tom. She hugged him and said, "Bye, Tom. I hope to see you again."
+
+Tom hugged her back and said, "Bye, Sara. I hope to see you again too. You are a very sweet girl."
+
+Sara ran back to her home. She told her mom and dad about her painting adventure. They were very proud of her too. They hung her painting on the wall. Sara looked at it and smiled. She had a lovely day.
+Bella was a dog who lived on a farm. She liked to run and play with the other animals, but she did not have an owner. She slept in a barn with the cows and the chickens, and sometimes she got very filthy.
+
+One day, a man came to the farm. He had a big truck and a hat. He said he was looking for a dog to help him with his sheep. He saw Bella and smiled. He walked over to her and said, "Hello, little dog. What is your name?"
+
+Bella wagged her tail and licked his hand. She did not know her name, but she liked the man. He smelled like grass and bread. He said, "You are a very friendly dog. Do you want to come with me? I have a nice home and a lot of sheep. You can be my helper and my friend."
+
+Bella barked and nodded. She wanted to go with the man. She wanted to have an owner and a job. She wanted to see the sheep and the home. She followed the man to his truck and jumped in. He said, "You are a smart dog. I think I will call you Bella. Do you like that name?"
+
+Bella wagged her tail and licked his face. She loved that name. She guessed she was a lucky dog. She said, "Woof, woof, Bella!" and the man laughed. He said, "Yes, you are Bella. And I am Sam. We are going to be a great team." He started the truck and drove away from the farm. Bella looked out the window and saw the other animals waving goodbye. She waved back and snuggled with Sam. She was happy and excited. She could not wait to see her new life.
+Lily was a girl who liked to learn new things. She liked to read books, play games, and ask questions. She wanted to do well on her quiz at school. The quiz was about animals and their sounds.
+
+But Lily had a problem. She lost her book about animals. She did not know where she put it. She was sad and worried. She did not want to fail her quiz. She thought maybe she could borrow a book from someone else.
+
+She saw Ben, her friend, who had a book about animals. She asked him, "Can I borrow your book, please? I lost mine and I need to study for the quiz."
+
+Ben looked at his book. It was old and torn. He loved his book very much. He said, "No, I'm sorry, Lily. This is my book. I don't want to lend it to anyone. It might get lost or broken."
+
+Lily felt hurt. She said, "But I'm your friend. I will be careful with your book. I will give it back to you after the quiz. Please, Ben, help me."
+
+Ben shook his head. He said, "No, Lily. This is my book. Go find your own book."
+
+Lily walked away, feeling sad and angry. She thought Ben was mean and selfish. She did not want to be his friend anymore.
+
+The next day, Lily took the quiz. She tried to remember what she learned from her teacher and from the TV. She did not do very well. She missed some questions. She wished she had a book to study from.
+
+Ben took the quiz too. He knew all the answers. He had studied from his book. He did very well. He was happy and proud.
+
+But when he went to his locker, he saw that his book was gone. Someone had taken it. He felt sad and angry. He wondered who stole his book. He wished he had his book back.
+
+He saw Lily, who was walking to the bus. He ran to her and said, "Lily, did you take my book? Did you steal it from me?"
+
+Lily looked at him. She said, "No, Ben. I did not take your book. I did not steal it from you. Why would you think that?"
+
+Ben said, "Because you wanted to borrow it from me. And you were mad at me for saying no. And you did not do well on the quiz. So I thought maybe you took it to cheat or to get back at me."
+
+Lily said, "No, Ben. That's not true. I did not do that. I would never do that. That's wrong. And that's not what friends do."
+
+Ben said, "But we are not friends. You said you did not want to be my friend anymore. Because I did not lend you my book."
+
+Lily said, "I was wrong, Ben. I was hurt and angry. But I still wanted to be your friend. I was sorry for what I said. But you did not talk to me. You ignored me."
+
+Ben said, "I was wrong too, Lily. I was happy and proud. But I was also mean and selfish. I did not want to share my book with you. I did not help you. I was sorry for what I did. But you did not look at me. You avoided me."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "I'm sorry, Ben/Lily. Can we be friends again?"
+
+They hugged and said, "Yes, we can be friends again. And we can share our books and help each other. And we can learn new things together."
+
+They smiled and walked to the bus. They hoped to find Ben's book. They learned a lesson. They learned that friends should be kind and generous. And that books are good to read and learn from. But they are not more important than friends.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see a bridge over a stream. The bridge is light and made of wood. Anna and Ben want to cross the bridge.
+
+"Can we go over the bridge?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They hold hands and walk to the bridge.
+
+But the bridge is not strong. It is old and broken. When Anna and Ben step on the bridge, it makes a loud noise. The bridge starts to fall into the stream.
+
+"Help!" Anna and Ben scream. They are scared and wet.
+
+They try to lift themselves up, but they cannot. The water is too deep and fast. The bridge is too heavy and sharp. Anna and Ben are stuck under the bridge.
+
+No one hears them. No one sees them. No one helps them.
+
+Anna and Ben are gone.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They also liked to open the cupboard and see what was inside.
+
+One day, they found a big box of crackers in the cupboard. They decided to use them as ingredients for their soup. They poured them into a big pot and added water and salt. They stirred and stirred with a wooden spoon.
+
+"Look, our soup is ready!" Lily said. "Let's taste it!"
+
+They each took a spoonful of the cracker soup and put it in their mouths. They made a face. It was not good. It was mushy and salty and dry.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom said. "This is not soup. This is bad!"
+
+He spat out the soup and threw the spoon on the floor. He was angry. He kicked the pot and it fell over. The cracker soup spilled everywhere. He grabbed the box of crackers and threw it at the cupboard. The box hit the cupboard and broke. Crackers flew out and scattered all over the kitchen.
+
+"Stop!" Lily said. "You are destroying everything! Mommy will be mad!"
+
+She ran to the cupboard and tried to pick up the crackers. She was sad. She liked the crackers. They were crunchy and yummy. She did not like to waste them.
+
+She saw Tom sitting on the floor. He was crying. He was sorry. He did not mean to destroy everything. He was just frustrated.
+
+She went to him and hugged him. She was compassionate. She knew he did not do it on purpose. She wanted to make him feel better.
+
+"It's okay, Tom," she said. "We can clean up together. We can say sorry to Mommy. We can share some other food. We are still friends."
+
+Tom nodded. He hugged her back. He was grateful. He liked Lily. She was kind and forgiving. He wanted to be nice to her.
+
+They got up and started to clean up the mess. They put the crackers back in the box. They wiped the soup from the floor. They washed the pot and the spoons. They closed the cupboard.
+
+They heard Mommy coming. They ran to her and hugged her. They told her what happened. They apologized. They asked for some bread and cheese.
+
+Mommy smiled. She was not angry. She was proud. She saw that they were honest and helpful and compassionate. She gave them some bread and cheese. She kissed them and praised them.
+
+They ate their bread and cheese. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They did not want to destroy anything again. They wanted to be good chefs and good friends.
+Anna and Ben like to cook with Mom. They help her make soup and bread and cake. They wear aprons and hats and use spoons and bowls and pans.
+
+One day, Mom gives them a big book with many pages. She says, "This is a cookbook. It has recipes for different foods. You can look at the pictures and choose what you want to cook with me."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They open the book and see many yummy things. They point and say, "I want this! I want that!" They turn the pages and find more and more foods.
+
+But then, Ben turns the page too fast and gets a paper cut. He cries and says, "Ow! Ow! It hurts!" He shows his finger to Mom. Mom says, "Oh, poor Ben. Let me see. It's a small cut, but it stings. I have a band-aid for you. Come here."
+
+Mom takes Ben to the sink and washes his finger. She puts a band-aid on it and kisses it. She says, "There, there. You're brave. It will heal soon. Do you still want to cook with me and Anna?"
+
+Ben nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, Mom. I still want to cook. Can we make cookies?" Mom says, "Of course, we can. Cookies are fun and easy. Let's go back to the cookbook and find a recipe."
+
+Anna and Ben hug Mom and say, "We love you, Mom. We love to cook with you." Mom says, "I love you, too, my sweeties. You're my best helpers. Let's go make some delicious cookies."
+Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big rope on a tree. The rope was near the road.
+
+"Look, a swing!" Lila said. "Let's try it!"
+
+Tom was scared. He said, "No, Lila. It is too high. And the road is busy. We can get hurt."
+
+Lila did not listen. She said, "Don't be a baby. It is fun. I will go first. You watch me."
+
+She ran to the rope and grabbed it. She pushed herself off the ground and swung in the air. She felt happy. She said, "Whee! This is easy!"
+
+But then, a big truck came on the road. It was fast and loud. Lila did not see it. She swung too far and hit the truck. The truck hit her hard and she fell off the rope. She did not get up.
+
+Tom saw everything. He screamed and cried. He ran to Lila and tried to wake her up. But she did not move. She did not breathe. She was gone.
+
+Tom was alone. He was sad. He wished he had stopped Lila. He wished they had played something else. He wished they had never seen the rope. He wished he could hang with Lila again. But he could not. It was too late. It was too difficult.
+Ben and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, big and small, loud and quiet, furry and scaly. Ben liked the lions and the tigers, because they were strong and brave. Lily liked the penguins and the pandas, because they were cute and funny.
+
+They came to a cage with a sign that said "Porcupine". Ben and Lily did not know what a porcupine was. They looked inside and saw a small animal with black and white spikes on its back. It was eating some nuts and fruits.
+
+"Wow, look at that animal!" Ben said. "It has sharp spikes. I wonder if it can hurt other animals with them."
+
+"Maybe it can," Lily said. "But it also looks adorable. It has a small nose and big eyes. I want to pet it."
+
+Lily reached out her hand to touch the porcupine through the bars. But Mom stopped her and said, "No, Lily, don't do that. The porcupine's spikes are very sharp. They can poke you and make you bleed. The porcupine does not like to be touched. It needs its spikes to protect itself from danger."
+
+Lily pulled back her hand and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, porcupine. I didn't mean to bother you. You are very pretty, but I will not touch you."
+
+The porcupine looked at Lily and made a soft noise. It seemed to say, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind, but I like to be alone."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and waved at the porcupine. Then they went to see more animals at the zoo. They learned a lot and had a lot of fun.
+Lily was very happy. It was her birthday today. She had a big cake with four candles on it. She wanted to share her cake with her friends. She invited Anna, Ben, and Tom to her party.
+
+"Hello, Lily! Happy birthday!" Anna said. She gave Lily a present. It was a book with pictures of famous animals. Lily liked animals. She said, "Thank you, Anna! This is a nice book."
+
+"Happy birthday, Lily!" Ben said. He gave Lily a present too. It was a ball with stars on it. Lily liked stars. She said, "Thank you, Ben! This is a fun ball."
+
+"Happy birthday, Lily!" Tom said. He gave Lily a present as well. It was a hat with a flower on it. Lily liked flowers. She said, "Thank you, Tom! This is a pretty hat."
+
+Lily was very happy. She had three good friends and three nice presents. She said, "Thank you for coming to my party. I want to include you in my cake. Let's blow the candles together and make a wish."
+
+Lily and her friends blew the candles. They made a wish. They wished for more fun, more books, more balls, and more hats. They cut the cake and ate it. It was yummy. They played with the ball, the book, and the hat. They had a lot of fun. Lily was very happy. It was her best birthday ever.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to learn new things. She liked to read books, draw pictures, and play with her toys. But she did not like to wear a belt. She thought belts were tight and uncomfortable, and she did not see why she had to wear one.
+
+One day, her mom told her to put on a belt before they went to the park. Lily did not want to. She said, "No, mom, I don't like belts. They are ouchy and silly."
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, you have to wear a belt. It helps your pants stay up. If you don't wear a belt, your pants might fall down and you might trip and hurt yourself. And that would not be fun, would it?"
+
+Lily still did not want to. She said, "No, mom, I don't care. I can hold my pants up with my hands. And I can run fast and not trip. Belts are no good."
+
+Her mom sighed. She said, "Lily, please listen to me. I know you don't like belts, but they are good for you. They are not ouchy and silly, they are useful and safe. And look, I have a special belt for you. It has a mysterious buckle that you can open and close. It is shiny and pretty, and it makes a funny sound when you snap it. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily looked at the belt. She saw the mysterious buckle. It was shiny and pretty, and it made a funny sound when she snapped it. She liked the sound. She liked the buckle. She said, "OK, mom, I will try it. But only for a little bit."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. I'm proud of you for trying something new. You are a good learner. Now, let's go to the park and have some fun."
+
+Lily put on the belt. She felt the buckle. She heard the sound. She said, "Mom, I like this belt. It is not ouchy and silly. It is useful and safe. And it is mysterious and fun. Can I keep it?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. It is your belt. You can wear it whenever you want. And maybe, you can learn to like other belts too. There are many kinds of belts, and they are all good for you."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Maybe, mom. Maybe. But this is my favorite belt. It is the best belt ever."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "I'm glad you like it, Lily. You are the best girl ever."
+
+They went to the park and had some fun. Lily wore her belt and did not trip. She learned something new and felt happy.
+Tom and Anna were eager to go to the zoo. They wanted to see the lion, the big cat with a mane. They had never seen a lion before.
+
+When they got to the zoo, they followed the signs to the lion's cage. They saw a lot of people standing around the cage, looking and pointing. Tom and Anna squeezed through the crowd to get a better view.
+
+But when they reached the front, they were surprised. There was no lion in the cage. There was only a big sign that said: "The lion is sick. He is resting in his den. Please come back another day."
+
+Tom and Anna felt sad and disappointed. They had been looking forward to seeing the lion. They turned to their mom and dad and asked: "Why is the lion sick? When can we see him?"
+
+Their mom and dad explained: "Sometimes animals get sick, just like people. The zookeepers are taking good care of the lion and giving him medicine. He needs time and quiet to get better. Maybe we can see him next time we come to the zoo."
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They understood that the lion was not feeling well and needed rest. They decided to see some other animals instead. They saw the monkeys, the elephants, the giraffes, and the penguins. They had fun and learned a lot.
+
+They also learned a lesson: Sometimes things don't go as planned. Sometimes we have to be patient and wait. Sometimes we have to be kind and respectful to others who are sick or in need.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They liked to run, jump, and sing. They also liked to pretend they were grown-ups.
+
+One day, they decided to play marry. They found some old clothes and a ring. Lily put on a dress and a hat. Tom put on a shirt and a tie. They held hands and walked to the garden.
+
+"Tom, do you want to marry me?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, Lily, I want to marry you. You are my best friend," Tom said.
+
+They put the ring on Lily's finger and kissed. They were very happy.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was Lily's big brother, Ben. He was riding his bike very fast. He had a helmet and a cape. He liked to pretend he was a superhero.
+
+"Look at me! I have super speed!" Ben shouted.
+
+He zoomed past Lily and Tom. He made the wind blow and the flowers fly. He laughed and waved.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They did not like Ben's speed. They liked regular speed. They ran away from the garden. They hid behind the house.
+
+"Ben is mean. He ruined our marry," Lily said.
+
+"I know. He always does that. He thinks he is better than us," Tom said.
+
+They hugged each other and made a plan. They would wait until Ben was gone. Then they would go back to the garden and play marry again. They would be happy and regular. They would be best friends forever.
+One day, Anna and Ben went to the park with their mom. It was winter and very icy. They saw a big hill with snow on it. They wanted to slide down the hill.
+
+"Can we slide, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. The hill is steep and slippery. Hold hands and don't go too fast," mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben took a big sled and climbed up the hill. They sat on the sled and held hands. They pushed off and started to slide. They felt the wind in their faces and the snow under them. They laughed and shouted.
+
+But then, they saw a big rock in their way. They tried to steer the sled, but it was too late. They hit the rock and flew off the sled. They fell and rolled down the hill. They bumped into trees and bushes. They got snow in their hair and clothes.
+
+"Ouch! That hurts!" Ben cried.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Anna asked.
+
+"I think so. Are you okay, Anna?"
+
+"I think so too. But we lost our sled."
+
+They looked up and saw their sled broken on the rock. They felt sad and scared.
+
+"Mom! Mom! Help us!" they called.
+
+Mom heard them and ran down the hill. She saw them covered in snow and dirt. She hugged them and checked them for injuries.
+
+"Are you hurt, my loves?" she asked.
+
+"No, mom. Just cold and wet," Anna said.
+
+"And our sled is broken," Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves. That was a bad fall. But I'm glad you're okay. Come on, let's go home and get warm and dry. We can get a new sled another day," mom said.
+
+She helped them up and took them home. She gave them hot chocolate and cookies. She read them a story about a brave nation that fought for freedom. They felt better and snuggled with mom. They learned to be more careful on icy hills.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite thing was to jump on the big mattress on the floor. They pretended it was a trampoline, a boat, or a castle.
+
+One day, they decided to have a contest to see who could jump the highest. They took turns and counted how high they went. "One, two, three!" Max said as he jumped. "Four, five, six!" Lily said as she jumped. They both laughed and had fun.
+
+But then, Max jumped too hard and landed on the edge of the mattress. He slipped and fell on the floor. He hit his head on the table and started to scream. "Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. Lily stopped jumping and ran to him. She saw blood on his forehead and got scared.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help!" she screamed. She hugged Max and tried to make him feel better. Mommy heard the screams and came running. She saw what happened and got a towel and some ice. She wrapped the towel around Max's head and put the ice on it. She kissed him and said, "It's okay, it's okay. You'll be fine."
+
+She took Max and Lily to the car and drove to the doctor. The doctor looked at Max's head and said, "You have a small cut, but it's not serious. I'll put a band-aid on it and you'll be good as new." He smiled and gave Max a sticker. Max smiled back and said, "Thank you, doctor." Lily smiled too and said, "You're very brave, Max. You won the contest. You're the most successful jumper." Max hugged Lily and said, "You're the best sister, Lily. I love you." They both felt happy and proud.
+Tim and Lily were gifted twins who liked to build structures with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes, and they could make houses, towers, bridges, and more. They liked to show their structures to their mom and dad, who always praised them.
+
+One day, they decided to build a structure in the backyard, where they had more space and grass. They carried their blocks outside and started to work. They wanted to make a big castle with walls, windows, and a gate. They worked hard and had fun.
+
+But then, a big dog came into the backyard. The dog was curious and friendly, but he did not know that the blocks were not toys. He saw the castle and thought it looked tasty. He ran towards it and started to chew on the blocks. He broke the walls, the windows, and the gate. He made a big mess.
+
+Tim and Lily saw the dog and shouted. "No, no, no! Stop, stop, stop! That is our structure, not your food! Go away, go away, go away!" They ran to the dog and tried to push him away. But the dog was bigger and stronger than them. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He thought they wanted to play.
+
+Mom and dad heard the noise and came outside. They saw the dog and the ruined structure. They felt sorry for Tim and Lily, who were crying and angry. They hugged them and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. The dog did not mean to hurt your structure. He did not know better. He is just a silly dog. We will help you clean up and build a new structure. You are still gifted twins who can make amazing things." They smiled and kissed them. Tim and Lily felt better and nodded. They forgave the dog and gave him a pat. They decided to build a new structure, but this time, inside the house.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. But today it is cold and windy. Mom says they need to wear jackets.
+
+Lily and Ben go to their closet. They see many jackets. Some are big, some are small. Some are red, some are blue. Some have buttons, some have zippers.
+
+Lily picks a red jacket with buttons. She likes red. She puts on the jacket and says, "Look, Ben, I have a red jacket. It is pretty."
+
+Ben picks a blue jacket with zippers. He likes blue. He puts on the jacket and says, "Look, Lily, I have a blue jacket. It is cool."
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They see that their jackets are different. They smile and say, "We have different jackets, but we are still twins. We are both happy."
+
+They hug and run outside. They play with their ball and their bike. They have fun in their different jackets. Mom watches them and smiles. She loves her twins.
+Anna and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked around the house for something fun to do.
+
+"Look, I found some clay!" Ben said. He showed Anna a big box of colorful clay. "We can make anything we want with it!"
+
+Anna smiled. She liked clay. She took some red clay and started to roll it in her hands. "I know what I will make. I will make a flower. A big, pretty flower."
+
+Ben took some blue clay and some yellow clay. He mixed them together and made a green ball. "I know what I will make. I will make a frog. A big, hoppy frog."
+
+They worked hard on their clay creations. They used their fingers, their palms, and their nails to shape the clay. They added more clay to make petals, eyes, legs, and spots.
+
+"Look at my flower!" Anna said. She held up her red clay flower. It had six petals and a yellow center. "It is so beautiful!"
+
+"Look at my frog!" Ben said. He held up his green clay frog. It had four legs and two big eyes. "It is so cool!"
+
+They were very proud of their clay creations. They put them on the table and admired them. They forgot about the gloomy day and had fun with their clay.
