A soft and sweet voice. A voice like Po's. + +"Hello, little girl. Why are you crying?" the voice says. + +Lily stops crying and looks up. She can't believe her eyes. It's a panda! A real panda! He is standing on his hind legs and looking at her. He is smiling and waving. + +Lily gasps. She is amazed and happy. She forgets about her tears and her tantrum. She smiles and waves back. + +"Hi, panda! I'm Lily. I love you!" she says. + +"I love you too, Lily. You're very cute. Do you want to be my friend?" the panda says. + +"Yes, yes, yes! I want to be your friend!" Lily says. + +She runs to the fence and hugs the panda. The panda hugs her back. They are both happy. + +Lily's mom and dad are shocked and confused. They don't know how the panda can talk. They don't know what to do. They look at each other and shrug. + +"Wow, Lily, you're very lucky. You made a new friend. A panda friend. How did you do that?" her mom says. + +Lily giggles. She doesn't know either. She doesn't care. She is happy. She has a big panda toy and a real panda friend. She loves pandas. Pandas are soft and sweet and make Lily happy. +Lila and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. Sometimes they pretended to be knights and princesses and dragons. + +"Can I have that red block, please?" Lila requested. She wanted to make a roof for her castle. + +"OK, here you go," Ben said. He gave her the red block and took a blue one. He was making a bridge over a river. + +They heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like a pop and a hiss. They saw a bright light and some smoke. They were confused. What was that? + +They ran to the kitchen to see what happened. They saw their mom holding a toaster. She looked surprised and a little scared. + +"Mom, what was that?" Lila asked. + +"The toaster made a spark and burned the bread," Mom said. "It was an accident. Don't worry, I turned it off and unplugged it. It's not dangerous anymore." + +"Wow, a spark!" Ben said. He thought it looked cool and exciting. + +"Can we see it?" Lila asked. + +"No, honey, it's not safe to touch the toaster. It might be hot or broken. We need to get a new one," Mom said. "Why don't you go back to your blocks and I'll make you some sandwiches?" + +"OK, Mom," Lila and Ben said. They went back to the living room and continued their play. They wondered if they could make sparks with their blocks. They decided to try. +Ben was a stubborn boy. He did not like to wear his belt. He said it was too tight and itchy. He wanted to wear his zip pants. He liked to zip and unzip them all the time. + +One day, Ben and his mom went to the park. Mom said, "Ben, you have to wear your belt. Your zip pants are too big for you. They will fall down if you run and play." Ben said, "No, mom, I don't want to wear my belt. I want to wear my zip pants. They are fun and cool." + +Mom sighed and said, "Fine, Ben, but you have to promise me to zip your pants all the way up and not unzip them. Okay?" Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom, I promise." + +Ben and his mom went to the park. Ben saw his friend Lily. He ran to her and said, "Hi, Lily, look at my zip pants. They are awesome. Do you want to see how they work?" Lily said, "Sure, Ben, show me." + +Ben smiled and said, "Watch this." He unzipped his pants and said, "Ta-da!" But he forgot to hold his pants. They fell down to his ankles. Ben was shocked and embarrassed. Lily laughed and said, "Ben, your pants fell down. You are silly." + +Ben quickly pulled up his pants and zipped them. He felt his face turn red. He said, "Sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to do that. It was an accident." Lily said, "It's okay, Ben, it was funny. But maybe you should wear your belt next time. It will keep your pants up." + +Ben nodded and said, "Maybe you are right, Lily. Maybe I should wear my belt. Mom was right too. Zip pants are not so fun and cool after all. They are tricky and risky." Ben learned his lesson. He was not so stubborn anymore. He wore his belt from then on. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big horn in the park. It is shiny and loud. + +"Wow, look at this horn!" Tom says. "I want to blow it and make noise." + +"No, I want to blow it first!" Mia says. "It is my turn to play with it." + +They both pull the horn and try to take it. They are not happy. They are angry. + +"Please, let me have the horn!" Tom says. + +"Please, let me have the horn!" Mia says. + +They do not listen to each other. They do not share. + +Then, a dog comes. It is big and fast. It sees the horn and runs to it. It grabs the horn with its mouth and runs away. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom and Mia shout. "That is our horn!" + +They chase the dog, but it is too quick. It goes to a hill and hides behind a tree. + +Tom and Mia follow the dog. They look for the horn. They see it behind the tree. But it is not shiny and loud anymore. It is empty and broken. The dog has bitten it and made a hole in it. + +"Oh no, look what the dog did!" Tom says. "The horn is ruined!" + +"That is not fair!" Mia says. "The horn was ours!" + +They are sad. They are sorry. + +They look at each other. They remember they are friends. They hug and say sorry. + +"Please, can we play together?" Tom says. + +"Please, can we share our toys?" Mia says. + +They nod and smile. They go back to the park and find other toys. They play and have fun. They are happy. They are kind. +Tom and Jen were playing in the yard when they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was black and angry and spinning fast. They heard a loud noise like a train. + +"Look, Jen, a tornado!" Tom said, pointing at the cloud. + +"Let's go inside, Tom, it's scary!" Jen said, grabbing his hand. + +They ran to the house and told their mom what they saw. She hugged them and said they were safe. She gave them some cookies and milk to calm them down. + +"Mom, what is a tornado?" Tom asked, biting his cookie. + +"A tornado is a very strong wind that can break things and hurt people," Mom said. "Sometimes it can pick up things and throw them far away." + +"Like what things, Mom?" Jen asked, sipping her milk. + +"Like cars, or trees, or houses, or animals," Mom said. "It's very sad when that happens. The people and animals who lose their things are poor. They need help from others." + +"Can we help them, Mom?" Tom asked, feeling sorry for them. + +"Yes, we can, Tom," Mom said. "We can give them some of our things, like clothes, or toys, or food. We can also give them hugs and smiles. That will make them feel better." + +Tom and Jen nodded. They finished their cookies and milk and asked Mom if they could pack some things for the poor people and animals. Mom smiled and said yes. They went to their rooms and looked for things they could share. They hoped the tornado would go away soon and not come back. +Mia was a gifted girl. She could sing, draw, and read very well. She liked to learn new things and make her parents happy. One day, her mom gave her a new bathrobe. It was pink and soft and had a hood with ears. + +"Thank you, mom! I love it!" Mia said. She put on the bathrobe and ran to the mirror. She looked like a cute bunny. She hopped around the room and sang a song. + +"What is your name, little bunny?" her mom asked, playing along. + +"My name is Mia, but you can call me Bunny Mia!" Mia said. She giggled and hugged her mom. + +"Bunny Mia, you are very sweet and smart. I'm proud of you," her mom said. She kissed her on the cheek. + +"Can I wear my bathrobe all day?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, why not? It's a special day. You can wear your bathrobe and do whatever you want," her mom said. + +Mia was very happy.

She thought her bathrobe was the best gift ever. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big hole in the wall of her room. She wondered what was inside. She got a flashlight and crawled towards the hole. + +She shone the light into the hole and saw something furry and brown. It looked like a big mouse, but with a long tail and sharp teeth. It was a rat! The rat saw Lily and hissed at her. Lily was scared and trembled. She dropped the flashlight and ran away. + +"Mama, mama, there is a rat in my room!" she cried. + +Her mama came and hugged her. "Don't worry, Lily, I will call the rat catcher. He will take the rat away and fix the hole. You are safe with me." + +She took Lily to the kitchen and gave her a snack. It was a banana and some crackers. Lily liked bananas and crackers. She ate them and felt better. + +"Thank you, mama. You are the best," she said. + +"You are welcome, Lily. You are very brave. But next time, be careful when you explore. Some things are not nice to play with," her mama said. + +Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She decided to explore only with her mama or her toys. She hugged her mama and smiled. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they plan to make a letter for their mom. They find some paper, crayons, stickers and glue. They write "I love you, Mom" and draw hearts and flowers. They put many stickers on the letter. The letter is very heavy. + +They want to give the letter to their mom, but she is at work. They ask Dad to help them. Dad says, "That is a very nice letter. But it is too heavy to mail. How can we give it to Mom?" + +Anna and Ben think hard. They have an idea. They say, "We can take the letter to Mom's office. We can surprise her. Can you drive us, Dad?" + +Dad smiles. He says, "That is a good idea. Let's go. Mom will be very happy to see you and your letter." + +They get in the car and drive to Mom's office. They find Mom at her desk. They run to her and hug her. They say, "Mom, we made a letter for you.

You are the best kids ever." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would try to catch the ball with their hands, but it was hard. + +"Look, Anna, I can kick the ball very high!" Ben said, and he kicked the ball with all his might. + +The ball flew up in the air and landed on the other side of the fence. The fence was tall and had a sign that said "Keep Out". Anna and Ben could not see what was behind the fence. It was unknown to them. + +"Oh no, Ben, we lost our ball!" Anna said, feeling sad. + +"Maybe we can get it back," Ben said, feeling brave. "Let's go around the fence and look for it." + +Anna and Ben ran around the fence, holding hands. They saw a big house with a lot of windows and a door. They did not see anyone in the house. They saw their ball lying on the grass near the house. + +"There it is, Anna, our ball!" Ben said, feeling happy. + +"Let's get it quickly and go back to the park," Anna said, feeling scared. + +They ran towards the ball, but before they could reach it, they heard a loud bark. A big dog came out of the house and ran towards them. The dog had black fur and sharp teeth. It looked angry. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben shouted, feeling afraid. + +Anna and Ben ran away from the dog, leaving their ball behind. They ran back to the fence and climbed over it. They were safe in the park, but they were sad. They had lost their ball. + +"Maybe we can get another ball," Anna said, trying to cheer up Ben. + +"Maybe," Ben said, but he did not feel cheerful. He liked their ball. He remembered how they had found it in a box of toys at the garage sale. He remembered how they had played with it every day. He wished they had not kicked it over the fence. He wished they had not gone to the unknown place. He wished they had their ball back. +Sara likes to write poems. She writes them on paper with her crayons. She writes about her family, her toys, her dog, and anything she sees. She likes to read her poems to her mom and dad. They always smile and hug her. + +One day, Sara hears a ring at the door.

She says, "Grandma, these poems are comfortable. They make me warm and cozy." + +Grandma says, "I'm glad you like them, Sara. They are comfortable for me, too. They remind me of when I was a little girl like you. I used to write poems, too. Do you write poems, Sara?" Sara says, "Yes, grandma. I write poems all the time. Do you want to hear some?" Grandma says, "Of course, Sara. I would love to hear your poems." + +Sara runs to her room and gets her paper and crayons. She brings them to the couch and shows them to grandma. She reads her poems to grandma. Grandma listens and smiles and claps. She says, "Sara, your poems are wonderful. You are very talented and creative. I'm so proud of you." Sara says, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best. I love you." Grandma says, "I love you, too, Sara. You are my favorite poet." They hug and kiss and read more poems. They are very happy. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their dolls and pretend they are a family. One day, they decide to make a menu for their dolls. They draw pictures of food on a big paper. They have pizza, salad, cake, and juice. + +They take their dolls to the table and put the menu in front of them. They ask them what they want to eat. "Do you want pizza, salad, cake, or juice?" they say. The dolls do not answer. They are very quiet and pale. Lily and Tom are worried. "Are you sick?" they ask. The dolls do not answer. + +Lily and Tom think they need to feed their dolls. They go to the kitchen and find some real food. They take some bread, cheese, grapes, and water. They bring them to the table and put them on the plates. They try to feed their dolls. The dolls do not open their mouths. They are still quiet and pale. + +Lily and Tom are sad. They do not know what to do. They hug their dolls and say, "Please eat, please talk, please be happy." The dolls do not move. They are still quiet and pale. + +Mom comes in and sees Lily and Tom. She sees the menu, the food, and the dolls. She smiles and says, "What a nice game you are playing. You are very good at making a menu and feeding your dolls. But you know, dolls do not eat or talk or change color. They are just toys. They are always quiet and pale. They do not need food. They need love. And you give them a lot of love. That is why they are happy." + +Lily and Tom look at Mom. They look at their dolls. They understand. They smile and say, "We love our dolls. They are our family. We are happy too." They hug their dolls and Mom. They finish their game and eat their food. They are not worried anymore. They are happy. +One day, Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. They looked under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the drawers. They found some toys, some books, and some coins. + +"Look, Lily, I found a shiny coin!" Ben said, holding it up. + +"Wow, Ben, that's nice!" Lily said. "Can I see?" + +Ben gave her the coin and she looked at it. It had a picture of a man and some letters on it. + +"What does it say?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it's a secret code." + +They tried to read the letters, but they were too hard. They decided to keep the coin as a treasure. + +They put the coin in their pocket and looked for more things. They moved the furniture around to see what was behind them. They found some dust, some crumbs, and some socks. + +"Yuck, these are dirty!" Lily said, holding a sock. + +"Maybe they belong to a monster," Ben said, making a scary face. + +They threw the socks away and laughed. They did not notice that they made a big mess in the living room. They were careless and did not put the furniture back where it was. + +Soon, Mom came home from work. She saw the living room and was very angry. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. "Who moved the furniture and made this mess?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. + +"We're sorry, Mom," they said. "We were playing and we forgot to clean up." + +Mom sighed. She was not happy, but she loved them. + +"Next time, be more careful, okay?" Mom said. "And help me put the furniture back where it belongs." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They helped Mom fix the living room. They also showed her their shiny coin and told her about their adventure. + +Mom smiled. She was glad they had fun, but she also taught them to be more responsible. + +The end. +Lily liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big gray elephant. She named him Elly. She liked to hug him, feed him, and talk to him. + +One day, Lily's mom said they were going to the zoo. Lily was very happy. She wanted to see the real elephants. She brought Elly with her. She held him tight in her arms. + +At the zoo, Lily saw many animals. She saw lions, monkeys, giraffes, and penguins. But she was most excited to see the elephants. She ran to the fence and pointed at them. + +"Look, Elly, they are like you!" she said. "They are big and gray and have long noses. Do you want to say hello to them?" + +Elly did not say anything. He was just a toy. But Lily did not mind. She smiled and waved at the elephants. + +One of the elephants saw Lily and Elly. He was curious. He walked closer to the fence. He reached out his trunk and touched Elly gently. He sniffed him and made a loud noise. + +"Hello, little elephant," he said. "Who are you? Where do you come from?" + +Lily was surprised. She did not know that elephants could talk. She looked at Elly and then at the big elephant. + +"Hi, big elephant," she said. "This is Elly. He is my toy. I own him. He is my best friend. He comes from my home." + +The big elephant nodded. He smiled and said, "I see. He is a very nice toy. But he is not a real elephant. He is a silly elephant. He does not have ears, or eyes, or a mouth. He does not eat, or drink, or play. He does not have a family, or friends, or a herd. He is not like us." + +Lily felt sad. She did not like what the big elephant said. She hugged Elly tighter and said, "No, he is not silly. He is very smart. He has ears, and eyes, and a mouth. He can hear me, and see me, and talk to me. He eats, and drinks, and plays with me. He has a family, and friends, and a herd. He is like you. He is a real elephant." + +The big elephant shook his head. He did not understand. He said, "No, he is not. He is a toy. He is made of cloth and stuffing. He cannot hear you, or see you, or talk to you. He does not eat, or drink, or play. He does not have a family, or friends, or a herd. He is not like me. He is not a real elephant." + +Lily felt angry. She did not like what the big elephant said. She said, "Yes, he is. He is a toy, but he is also a real elephant. He is whatever I want him to be. He is my own elephant. And I love him. You are the silly elephant. You do not know anything. You are mean and rude. Go away!" + +The big elephant felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily's feelings. He said, "I am sorry, little girl. I did not want to make you mad. I was just curious. I wanted to be your friend. And Elly's friend. Can we be friends?" + +Lily looked at the big elephant. She saw that he was not mean and rude. He was just different. She said, "Okay, big elephant. I am sorry, too. I did not want to be mean and rude. I was just proud. I wanted to protect Elly. He is my own elephant. And I love him. But we can be friends. And Elly's friends. Do you want to be friends?" + +The big elephant nodded. He said, "Yes, little girl. I want to be friends. And Elly's friends. Thank you for being kind. You are a very nice girl. And Elly is a very nice toy. And a very nice elephant. And a very silly elephant. But in a good way." + +Lily smiled. She said, "You are welcome, big elephant. You are a very nice elephant. And a very silly elephant. But in a good way, too." + +They laughed and became friends. They talked and played and had fun. Lily learned more about the big elephant.

I did not mean to make a mess." + +The boy said, "That's okay, mole. We like worms too. They are yummy and wiggly. Do you want to play with us?" + +The mole said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun. But I am not very fast. Can you be gentle with me?" + +The boy said, "Of course, mole. We will be gentle and kind. Come on, let's go play with the ball." + +The boy, the dog, and the mole went to play with the ball. They had a lot of fun and became good friends. They gazed at the sky and saw the clouds and the birds. They gazed at the flowers and the trees and the bees. They gazed at each other and smiled.

He likes to touch the snowman and the sled. He also likes to slide on his belly. + +"Where do you come from, penguin?" Mia asks. "Do you have a family?" + +The penguin points to the sky. He says, "I come from far away. I have many brothers and sisters. We live on a big ice land. We gather fish and stay warm together. We are tough and brave." + +Tom and Mia are amazed.

Come back and play with us anytime." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away, but they always ran after it and brought it back. + +One day, the ball went too far and landed in the street. Lily and Ben saw a big car coming fast. They were frightened and did not know what to do. They wanted their ball, but they did not want to get hurt. + +"Stay here, Lily!" Ben said. He had an urge to get the ball. He thought he was brave and fast. He ran to the street and reached for the ball. + +"Ben, no!" Lily shouted. She saw the car getting closer and closer. She was very scared for Ben. She wished he would come back to the park. + +The car honked loudly and stopped just in time. Ben was lucky and did not get hit. He grabbed the ball and ran back to Lily. The driver got out of the car and looked angry. He yelled at Ben and told him to be careful and never run into the street again. + +Ben was sorry and said he was sorry. He hugged Lily and said he was sorry to her too. He realized he was not brave, he was foolish. He promised to never do that again. + +Lily was happy that Ben was safe.

They see fish and frogs and ducks. + +"Look, a shiny stone!" Lily says. She picks up a stone from the water. It is smooth and round and sparkles in the sun. + +"Wow, that is pretty!" Tom says. He wants a stone too. He looks for one in the river. He finds one that is red and flat and has spots on it. + +"Can I see your stone?" Lily asks. Tom shows her his stone. They trade stones and look at them. + +"Let's bury them!" Tom says. He has an idea. He digs a hole in the sand near the river. He puts his stone in the hole. He covers it with sand. + +"Where is your stone?" Lily asks. She does not see it. + +"It is a secret!" Tom says. He smiles. "You bury your stone too. Then we can find them later." + +Lily likes the game. She digs a hole next to Tom's. She puts her stone in the hole. She covers it with sand. + +"Done!" Lily says. She claps her hands. + +"Now we have a treasure!" Tom says. He holds Lily's hand. They run to the river. They splash and laugh. They forget about their stones. They are happy. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the yard. They had a big red wagon that they filled with toys and rocks and sticks. One day, they found a black rock that was shiny and heavy. They put it in their wagon and showed it to their mom. + +"What is this, mom?" Tim asked. + +"That is coal, Tim. It is a kind of rock that people use to make fire and heat. It is very old and hard," mom said. + +"Wow, coal is impressive!" Kim said. "Can we keep it?" + +"Yes, you can keep it, but be careful. It can make your hands dirty and it can break if you drop it," mom said. + +Tim and Kim decided to make a house for their coal. They used some cardboard boxes and tape and drew windows and doors on them. They put their coal inside and pretended it was their pet. They gave it a name and a blanket and some water. + +"Hello, Coal. We are your friends. Do you like your house?" Kim said. + +"Yes, I like it. Thank you, Tim and Kim. You are very nice," Coal said in a small voice. + +Tim and Kim were surprised and happy. They did not know that coal could talk. They hugged their coal and played with it all afternoon. They had a lot of fun with their new friend. + +But then, dad came home from work. He saw the wagon and the boxes and the coal in the yard. He was not happy. He thought they were making a mess and wasting things. + +"Tim and Kim, what are you doing? Why do you have this coal here? Where did you get it?" dad asked. + +"It is our friend, dad. His name is Coal. He can talk and he likes us," Tim said. + +"Don't be silly, Tim. Coal can't talk. It is just a rock. You can't keep it. It belongs to someone else. You have to give it back," dad said. + +He took the coal from their hands and put it in his car. He told them to clean up the yard and shut the boxes. He drove away with the coal. + +Tim and Kim were very sad. They cried and missed their friend. They hoped that dad would bring him back. They did not understand why dad was so mean.

"You are hurting me!" + +Tom and Mia were very surprised. They let go of the dragon and looked at it. + +"Did you talk?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, I did," the dragon said. "I am a magic dragon. I can fly and breathe fire. But I don't like it when you fight over me. That's not nice." + +"Sorry, dragon," Mia said. "We didn't know you were alive. We just wanted to play with you." + +"Can we be your friends?" Tom asked. + +"Of course you can," the dragon said. "But you have to share me and be gentle with me. And don't throw me. That hurts too." + +"OK, dragon," Tom and Mia said. "We will share you and be gentle with you. And we won't throw you." + +They took turns to hold the dragon and stroke its scales. The dragon smiled and purred. Then it flapped its wings and lifted them up in the air. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tom and Mia said. "We love you, dragon!" + +"I love you too," the dragon said. "You are my new friends." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they see a big poster. The poster says: "Coloring Contest. Draw a picture of your favorite animal.

Your pictures are very nice. Come back tomorrow to see who wins the prize!" + +Anna and Ben are excited. They wonder what will happen. They hope they will win the prize. They hug each other and say: "Good luck, friend!" +Lila and Sam were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would kick it, throw it, roll it, and bounce it all over the yard. + +One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She told them to put their shoes on and get in the car. Lila and Sam did not want to go. They wanted to stay and play with their ball. + +"Mom, can we take our ball with us?" Lila asked. + +"No, sweetie, there is no room for the ball in the car. You can play with it when we get back," mom said. + +Lila and Sam felt sad. They got in the car and buckled their seat belts. Mom drove to the store. Lila and Sam looked out the window and saw other kids playing with balls, bikes, and kites. They wished they were playing too. + +At the store, mom gave them each a small cart to push. She told them to help her find the things she needed. Lila and Sam tried to be good, but they were restless. They wanted to run and jump and have fun. They did not care about the cans, boxes, and bags that mom put in their carts. + +"Look, mom, a big ball!" Sam said, pointing to a display of colorful balls on a high shelf. + +"Can we have one, please?" Lila said, jumping up and down. + +"No, honey, we already have a ball at home. Remember?" mom said. + +"But we want a new one. A bigger one. A prettier one," Sam said. + +"Sorry, kids, but we don't need a new ball. We have to stick to our list. Come on, let's go," mom said. + +Lila and Sam felt mad. They did not want to go. They wanted a new ball. They looked at each other and had an idea. They waited until mom was busy looking at something else. Then they ran to the display of balls and grabbed one each. They tried to put them in their carts, but they were too big. They did not fit. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" a man who worked at the store said. He saw Lila and Sam with the balls. He walked over to them and took the balls away. "You can't take these without paying. Where is your mom?" + +Lila and Sam felt scared. They did not know what to say. They looked for mom, but they could not see her. They felt lost. + +"Mom!" they cried. + +Mom heard them and came running. She saw the man with the balls and Lila and Sam with tears in their eyes. + +"What's going on here?" she asked. + +"These kids tried to take these balls without paying. They said they wanted a new one," the man said. + +Mom looked at Lila and Sam. She felt angry and disappointed. + +"Is that true?" she asked. + +Lila and Sam nodded. They felt sorry. + +"Why did you do that? You know that's wrong. You know you have to ask me before you take anything. You know you have to pay for things at the store. You know you have a ball at home. Why did you do that?" mom asked. + +Lila and Sam did not know what to say. They felt ashamed. + +"We were bored. We wanted to play. We liked the balls. We thought you wouldn't notice," they said. + +Mom shook her head. She took Lila and Sam by the hand and apologized to the man. She told him she would pay for the balls. She told Lila and Sam they would have to use their allowance to pay her back. She told them they would have to go home and put their ball in the top of the closet. She told them they would not be able to play with it for a week. She told them they had to learn their lesson. + +Lila and Sam felt sad. They wished they had not taken the balls. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had been happy with their ball at home. They learned their lesson. They never did that again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars. Sara has a red car and Tom has a blue car. They pretend to race on the floor. + +"Look at my car, it has a lot of speed!" Tom says. He makes his car zoom past Sara's car. + +"My car is fast too, but it is also humble. It does not show off," Sara says. She makes her car follow Tom's car. + +They play for a while, until Sara's mom calls them for lunch. They put their cars away and go to the kitchen. + +"Did you have fun, kids?" Sara's mom asks. + +"Yes, we did. We played with cars," Sara says. + +"That's nice. Do you know what I did? I sold some of my old clothes to a lady. She gave me money for them," Sara's mom says. + +"Wow, that's cool. Why did you sell your clothes?" Tom asks. + +"Because I don't need them anymore, and I can use the money to buy something else. Maybe a new car for Sara," Sara's mom says. + +"Really? Can I have a new car too?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe you can ask your mom to sell some of your old clothes too. Then you can buy a new car or something else you like," Sara's mom says. + +"OK, I will do that. Thank you, Sara's mom," Tom says. + +"You're welcome, Tom. Now, let's eat," Sara's mom says. + +They all sit down and enjoy their lunch. They are happy and hungry. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they fought. One day, they had a big fight over a red car. Lily wanted the car, but Ben had it first. Lily tried to grab the car, but Ben held it tight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Give me the car, Ben! It's my turn!" Lily said. + +"No, it's mine! You had it yesterday!" Ben said. + +They were so loud that Mom heard them. She came into the room and saw them fighting. She was not happy. She took the car away from them and put it on a high shelf. + +"Stop fighting, Lily and Ben! You are spoiling your fun. You have many other toys to play with. Why can't you share?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben looked at Mom. They felt bad. They knew Mom was right. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They hugged and made up. + +But then they saw the car on the shelf. They both wanted it again. They looked at each other and smiled. They had an idea. They climbed on a chair and reached for the car. They got it and ran away. + +Mom saw them and shook her head. She smiled too. She knew they were still learning to share. She hoped they would not fight again. + +But then she heard a loud crash. She ran to the living room and saw Lily and Ben on the floor. The car was broken. They both had tears in their eyes and a cut on their lip. They were grumpy and sad. + +"Look what you did, Lily and Ben! You broke the car. You hurt yourselves. You spoiled the car and your fun. Now you have no car to play with. How do you feel?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben looked at the car, at their lip, and at Mom. They felt worse. They knew Mom was right. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They hugged and cried. + +Mom hugged them too. She felt sorry for them. She knew they were still learning to be careful. She hoped they would not break anything again. + +She kissed their lip and wiped their tears. She said, "It's okay, Lily and Ben. I love you. You can play with something else. Maybe next time you can share and be gentle. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We love you too. We can do that." + +They smiled and went to play with something else. They did not fight anymore. They shared and were gentle. They had fun. Mom was happy. She watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. +Sam was a sailor who liked to sail on the big blue sea. He had a boat with a white sail and a red flag. He liked to see the fish and the birds and the waves. + +One day, he saw a small island with a green tree and a yellow fruit. He wanted to try the fruit, so he sailed to the island and got off his boat. He walked to the tree and reached for the fruit. + +"Ouch!" he said. "The fruit is spicy! It hurts my hand!" He looked at his hand and saw a red spot. The fruit was not a fruit, but a pepper. A pepper is a spicy thing that makes your mouth hot. + +He ran back to his boat and dipped his hand in the water. He felt better, but he was still hungry. He looked in his bag and found a sandwich and a banana. He ate them and smiled. They were not spicy, but sweet and good. + +He decided to sail away from the island and look for another one. He hoped to find a fruit that was not a pepper. He waved goodbye to the tree and the pepper and said, "Sorry, I did not mean to touch you. You are too spicy for me." +Tom and Mia are playing in the kitchen. They see a big cake on the table. It looks yummy. They want to eat some. + +"Can we have some cake, please?" Tom asks his mom. + +"Not now, sweeties. The cake is for later. It is very hot. You have to wait," mom says. + +But Tom and Mia are hungry. They do not want to wait. They climb on a chair and reach for the cake. They see a knife next to the cake. It is shiny and sharp. + +"Look, a knife! We can cut the cake with it," Mia says. + +"No, Mia, no! Do not touch the knife! It is dangerous. You can hurt yourself," Tom says. + +But Mia does not listen. She grabs the knife and tries to cut the cake. She does not know how to use the knife. She slips and cuts her finger. She drops the knife and the cake. She cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! It hurts!" Mia cries. + +Mom hears the noise and runs to the kitchen. She sees the mess and the blood. She is scared and angry. + +"What have you done? I told you not to touch the cake or the knife! You are very naughty! You could have been hurt badly!" mom says. + +She picks up Mia and takes her to the sink. She washes her finger and puts a band-aid on it. She hugs her and kisses her. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Tom. I just wanted some cake. It looked so sweet," Mia says. + +"I know, honey. But you have to listen to me. I know what is best for you. The cake is not ready yet. It is too hot. And the knife is not a toy. It is very dangerous. You have to be careful," mom says. + +She looks at Tom and smiles. + +"Thank you, Tom, for trying to stop Mia. You are a good brother. You are very brave," mom says. + +She hugs Tom and kisses him. + +"I love you, mom. I love you, Mia. I'm sorry, too. I also wanted some cake. But I will wait," Tom says. + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you, too, Tom. I love you, too, Mia. You are my sweeties. Now, let's clean up this mess. And then, maybe, we can have some cake later. But only if you promise to be good and not touch the knife again." + +Tom and Mia nod and say, "We promise, mom. We promise." +Lily and Sam were very enthusiastic to go to the park. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the door. Mom said, "Wait, we need to cross the street first. Hold my hand and look both ways." + +They walked to the street and saw many cars and bikes. They waited for the green light and then crossed quickly. Lily saw a big dog on the other side and said, "Wow, look at that dog! Can we pet it, Mom?" + +Mom said, "Sure, but we have to ask the owner first. Maybe the dog is friendly, maybe not. Let's be polite and careful." They approached the dog and its owner, who was sitting on a bench. Mom said, "Hello, your dog is very cute. Can we pet it, please?" + +The owner smiled and said, "Of course, his name is Rex and he loves children. He is very gentle and fluffy. You can stroke his fur and scratch his ears." Lily and Sam were happy and petted Rex, who wagged his tail and licked their faces. They thanked the owner and said goodbye to Rex. + +They continued to the park and saw many swings, slides and sandboxes. They ran to their favorite spot and played for a long time. They had so much fun at the park. They were very enthusiastic. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. They liked to watch them and learn their names. + +Then they came to the ostrich pen. Ostriches are big birds with long necks and legs. They can run very fast, but they cannot fly. Ben and Lily thought they were unusual and funny. + +"Look at that ostrich!" Ben said. "It has a big head and a small body. It looks silly!" + +He pointed at the ostrich and laughed. He wanted to tease it and make it angry. He ran closer to the fence and shouted, "Hey, ostrich! You are so weird! Why don't you fly away?" + +The ostrich heard Ben and did not like him. It felt hurt and mad. It ran towards Ben and pecked at the fence. It made a loud noise and flapped its wings. + +Ben was scared and ran away. He cried and hugged his mom. He felt sorry for teasing the ostrich. + +Lily saw what happened and felt sorry for Ben and the ostrich. She walked slowly to the fence and said, "Hello, ostrich. I'm sorry my brother was mean to you. You are not weird. You are beautiful and strong. I like you." + +The ostrich heard Lily and liked her. It felt happy and calm. It stopped pecking and flapping. It looked at Lily and nodded its head. + +Lily smiled and reached out her hand. The ostrich touched her hand gently with its beak. They became friends. + +Mom saw what happened and felt proud of Lily. She said, "Lily, you are very kind and brave. You know how to respect animals and make them feel good. Well done!" + +She took Ben and Lily by the hand and said, "Let's go and see the other animals. Maybe we can find more unusual and wonderful friends." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. The farm has many animals and plants. Anna and Ben like to see the cows, the pigs, the chickens and the wheat. + +One day, they go to the wheat field. The wheat is tall and yellow. It makes a soft sound when the wind blows. Anna and Ben run and laugh in the wheat. They pretend they are birds or lions or pirates. + +But then, they see a big cloud. The cloud is dark and angry. It makes a loud sound like thunder. It starts to rain. The rain is cold and wet. Anna and Ben are scared. They want to go back to the farm. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go!" Anna says. She holds Ben's hand. They try to find the way back. But the rain makes the wheat wet and heavy. It bends and blocks their path. They cannot see the farm. + +"Anna, I'm lost!" Ben says. He cries. He is wet and cold and hungry. + +"Don't cry, Ben, we will find the way!" Anna says. She tries to be brave. She looks around. She sees a big tree. The tree has green leaves and red apples. It can protect them from the rain. + +"Look, Ben, a tree! Let's go there!" Anna says. She pulls Ben's hand. They step on the wet wheat. They make a path to the tree. They reach the tree.

She smiles. + +They wait for the rain to stop. They hope the farmer will find them soon. They are still friends. They are happy. +Anna was shy. She did not like to talk to other kids. She liked to play with her toys and books. She had a special toy. It was a beetle. It was red and black and shiny. She called it Bob. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy and a girl playing with a ball. They looked happy and loud. Anna wanted to play too, but she was shy. She held Bob in her hand and watched them. + +The boy saw Anna and Bob. He ran to her and said, "Hi! What is that? Can I see?" + +Anna was scared. She did not want to give Bob to the boy. She said, "No, this is Bob. He is my beetle. He is mine." + +The boy was sad. He said, "Please, can I see? I like beetles. I have a beetle too. His name is Sam. He is green and yellow and fuzzy. Do you want to see?" + +Anna was curious. She liked beetles too. She said, "OK, you can see Bob, but be careful. He is shy too. And I can see Sam." + +The boy was happy. He said, "Thank you. You are nice. Here is Sam. He is soft and tickly. Do you want to hold him?" + +Anna nodded. She gave Bob to the boy and took Sam. She felt him on her palm. He was soft and tickly. She smiled. + +The boy held Bob and looked at him.

They look at the mess and the broken robot. They feel sad and scared. They hear their mom coming. + +"Oh no, mom is here!" Sara says. "What do we do?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe we can hide the robot and the vase." + +But it is too late. Mom sees the box, the robot, the vase, and the twins. She is angry and surprised. + +"Sara and Ben, what have you done?" Mom says. "This is not your toy. This is dad's new gadget. He was going to test it for his work. How did you get it?" + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They tell mom the truth. They say they were curious and wanted to play with the robot. They say they did not mean to break it or the vase. They say they are sorry. + +Mom is still angry, but she is also calm. She hugs Sara and Ben and says, "I know you are sorry, but you should not touch things that are not yours. You could have hurt yourselves or the robot. You should always ask before you play with something new. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry." + +Mom says, "OK, I forgive you. But you have to help me clean up this mess and apologize to dad. And no more playing with robots until you are older. OK?" + +Sara and Ben say, "OK, mom. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too. Now, let's go and see if we can fix Robo. Maybe he can still be your friend someday." +Ben and Mia like to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with their blocks and zoom their cars around. Sometimes they have races and see who is faster. + +One day, they find a big circle in the garage. It is shiny and has a hole in the middle. Ben says, "What is this? Can we play with it?" Mia says, "I don't know. Maybe it is a wheel for a big car. Let's try it." + +They roll the circle to the backyard. They take turns pushing it and running after it. The circle is very fast and makes a loud noise. They laugh and have fun. They try to make the circle turn left and right, but it is hard. They have to push it very hard. + +They see a big tree in the corner of the yard. They decide to make the circle go around the tree.

He likes to be quiet and alone. + +"No, thank you," he says. "You can go to the party. I will stay here. Maybe we can play later." + +Lily is not happy. She thinks Ben is being silly and rude. She does not understand why he does not want to go. She thinks he will miss the fun. + +"Fine," she says. "I will go to the party. But I will not play with you later. You are not a good friend." + +She leaves the house. She slams the door. Ben hears her go. He feels sad too. He likes Lily. He does not want to make her angry. But he does not like parties. + +He looks out the window. He sees Lily walking to the party. She is wearing a pink dress and a bow. She looks pretty. He sees the sun shining and the birds singing. He sees the party house. It is decorated with colorful streamers and balloons. He hears the music and the laughter. He wonders if he is missing the fun. + +He looks at his book. It is gray and boring. He does not want to read it anymore. He wants to play with Lily and the other kids. He wants to be a good friend. + +He puts down his book. He runs out of the house.

They quickly gave the red car back to Ben and said they were sorry. + +"We were just playing, Ben. We didn't mean to hurt your car. Please don't be mad at us," they said. + +Ben looked at his car. It was not broken or scratched. He sighed and calmed down. + +"OK, I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you take my car. And don't drive it on the bed, it's not good for it. Here, you can play with this one instead. It's a blue truck. It's very cool," he said. + +He gave them the blue truck and smiled. Lily and Tom smiled back. They thanked Ben and hugged him.

He hugged her and said, "I work here because I love you, Lily. I want to give you a good life. I want you to have toys and books and clothes and food. I want you to be happy and healthy. Sometimes, we have to do things we don't like to help the ones we love." + +Lily felt sad for her dad. She wished he could work in a place he liked. She wished he could imagine things like she did. She said, "I love you too, dad. Thank you for working so hard. But you know what? You don't have to give me toys. I have enough toys. I can imagine anything I want with them. And I can share them with you. We can imagine together. That would make me happier than anything." + +Lily's dad smiled. He kissed her and said, "You are very wise, Lily. And very kind. You have a big heart and a big imagination. I am proud of you. And you are right. We can imagine together. That would make me happier too." + +They left the factory and went home.

They look at the map and see that they have to go past the swing, under the tree, and over the hill. They work hard to move their box along the way. + +When they get to the hill, they see a big rock with a red X on it. They think that is where the treasure is. They push their box to the rock and look around. They see a hole under the rock. They lift the rock and see a shiny metal box inside the hole. They pull the box out and open it. + +Inside the box, they find many things. They find coins and jewels and necklaces and rings. They also find a lemon and a bottle of vinegar. They think these are also treasure. They are very happy and excited. They take out the lemon and the vinegar and try them. + +But they do not like them. The lemon and the vinegar are very sour. They make their faces twist and their mouths pucker. They spit them out and say "Yuck!" They do not want these treasure. They put them back in the box and close it. + +They decide to keep the other treasure. They lay them on a blanket and look at them. They think they are very pretty and shiny. They pretend they are rich and famous pirates. They have fun playing with their treasure. They forget about the sour treasure. They are happy. +Lily liked to play with her guitar. She had a red guitar that made nice sounds when she strummed it. She played it every day in her room. + +One day, her brother Max came into her room. He saw her guitar and wanted to play with it too. He grabbed it from her hands and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back!" Lily shouted. She chased him down the hall. "That's my guitar!" + +Max ran into the kitchen and hid behind the table. He laughed and stuck out his tongue. He tried to play the guitar, but he did not know how. He made loud and bad sounds. + +"Stop it, stop it!" Lily cried. She reached for the guitar, but Max pushed her away. He knocked over a bowl of soup on the table. The soup spilled all over the guitar and the floor. The guitar was filthy. + +"Look what you did!" Lily said. She was very sad and angry. She wanted to rest, but she could not. Her guitar was ruined. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the children. She was not happy. + +"What's going on here?" she asked. She looked at the guitar and the soup. She shook her head. + +"Max took my guitar and made it filthy!" Lily said. + +"I just wanted to play with it!" Max said. + +Mom sighed. She took the guitar and the soup. She cleaned them with a cloth. She gave the guitar back to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Your guitar is still good. You can play with it again." she said. + +She looked at Max. "Max, you need to say sorry to Lily. You can't take things that are not yours. And you can't make a mess in the kitchen. You need to help me clean it up." she said. + +Max pouted. He did not want to say sorry or clean up. But he knew he was wrong. He looked at Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I won't take your guitar again." he said. + +Lily nodded. She was still mad, but she forgave him. She hugged her guitar. + +"Thank you, Mom. Can I go to my room and rest?" she asked. + +Mom smiled. "Yes, you can. But first, give me a kiss." she said. + +Lily kissed her mom. She went to her room and rested. She played her guitar softly and sang a song. She was happy. +Sara was a pupil in the big school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. But there was one boy who was not nice to her. His name was Tom. He always ignored her when she said hello or asked him to share. He made fun of her clothes and her hair. He made her feel sad and angry. + +One day, Sara brought her furry toy cat to school. She loved her cat very much. She named her Fluffy and hugged her all the time. She wanted to show Fluffy to her friends and teacher. But Tom saw her cat and snatched it from her. He said, "What a silly toy! Cats are stupid and ugly. You are stupid and ugly too." He threw Fluffy on the floor and kicked her. + +Sara cried and ran to pick up Fluffy. She checked if Fluffy was hurt. She was not. She was still soft and warm. Sara hugged Fluffy and said, "Don't worry, Fluffy. You are not stupid or ugly. You are smart and beautiful. And I love you very much. Tom is mean and rude. He does not know how to be nice or kind. We will ignore him. He does not deserve our attention." + +Sara's teacher saw what happened and came to Sara. She said, "Sara, are you okay? I'm sorry that Tom was so mean to you. He should not have taken your cat or said those things. He needs to learn how to respect others and their feelings. I will talk to him and his parents. You did the right thing by ignoring him. You are a brave and sweet pupil. And your cat is very cute and furry. Can I see her?" + +Sara smiled and nodded. She showed Fluffy to her teacher and her friends. They all said nice things about Fluffy and Sara. They asked Sara if they could play with Fluffy and Sara. Sara said yes. She was happy to share Fluffy and her friendship. She forgot about Tom and his mean words. She had fun with her furry toy cat and her kind friends. She learned that ignoring mean people and being nice to good people was the best way to be happy. +Tom was a curious cat. He liked to play with anything that moved. One day, he saw a big dog sleeping in the sun. The dog had a long, fluffy tail that wagged a little. Tom wanted to touch the tail. He thought it would be fun. + +He crept closer and closer to the dog. He reached out his paw and tapped the tail. The dog did not wake up. Tom tapped again. The tail wagged more. Tom smiled. He grabbed the tail and pulled hard. He wanted to steal the tail. + +The dog woke up with a loud bark. He was angry. He saw Tom holding his tail. He jumped up and chased Tom. Tom was scared. He let go of the tail and ran away. But the dog was faster. He caught Tom and bit him. Tom cried out in pain. + +"Bad cat! That's my tail! You can't steal my tail!" the dog growled. + +Tom wished he had not been so curious. He wished he had left the dog alone. He learned a hard lesson. Stealing is wrong. And tails are not toys. +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They build houses, towers, bridges and cars. One day, they have a new idea. They want to build a maze with blocks. A maze is a big puzzle with many paths and walls. You have to find the way out. + +They start to put blocks on the floor. They make long and short paths. They make turns and dead ends. They make a big maze with many blocks. They are happy and proud of their original maze. Original means something new and different. + +They decide to play a game. Anna will go inside the maze and try to find the way out. Ben will watch from outside and give her clues. Give means to share or help. Clues are words or signs that help you solve a puzzle. + +Anna goes inside the maze. She walks and looks around. She sees many blocks and walls. She does not know where to go. She says, "Ben, I need a clue!" + +Ben looks at the maze. He sees where Anna is. He sees where the exit is. He thinks of a clue. He says, "Anna, go to the path that has a red block. Then turn left." + +Anna hears Ben. She looks for the red block. She finds it. She turns left. She sees another path. She says, "Thank you, Ben! What is the next clue?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "You are welcome, Anna! The next clue is: go to the path that has a yellow block. Then turn right." + +Anna follows Ben's clue. She goes to the yellow block. She turns right. She sees the exit. She says, "I did it! I found the way out!" + +Ben claps. He says, "You did it, Anna! You are very smart and brave! You solved the maze!" + +Anna runs to Ben. She hugs him. She says, "You are very kind and clever, Ben! You gave me good clues! You made the maze!" + +They laugh and hug. They are happy. They like to play with blocks. They like to make and solve mazes. They are good friends. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys. They have a duck, a boat, a frog and a ball. They splash and laugh. + +One day, Mom gives them a new bottle of shampoo. It is pink and shiny. It smells like flowers. Lily and Max want to try it. Mom says, "You can use it, but be careful. Don't put it in your eyes. It will hurt." + +Lily and Max nod. They take turns to wash their hair. They squeeze the bottle and make bubbles. They rub their hair and rinse it. They feel clean and soft. + +But then, Max has an idea. He says, "Lily, look at this. I can shake the bottle and make more bubbles." He shakes the bottle hard. The lid pops off. Shampoo flies everywhere. It lands on their faces, on the toys, on the wall, on the floor. + +Lily and Max are shocked. They close their eyes. They cough and sneeze. They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They think Mom will be mad. + +But Mom is not mad. She is surprised. She sees the mess. She sees Lily and Max. They look like pink snowmen. She laughs. She says, "Oh, you two. You are so lucky. You made a shampoo party. But now, we have to clean up. Come on, let's wash again." + +Lily and Max are happy. They are not in trouble. They hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. We love the shampoo. But next time, we won't shake it." +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a pond with many ducks. Sam and Mia want to feed the ducks. They have some bread in their bags. + +"Look, Mia, ducks!" Sam says. He runs to the pond and throws some bread. The ducks swim to him and eat the bread. "They are so cute!" + +"Wait for me, Sam!" Mia says. She follows Sam and throws some bread too. The ducks swim to her and eat the bread. "They are so friendly!" + +Sam and Mia have fun with the ducks. They laugh and clap. They want to touch the ducks. They try to get closer to the pond. + +"Be careful, Sam and Mia!" a voice says. It is their mom. She is watching them from a bench. "The pond is deep. You might fall in." + +Sam and Mia stop. They look at their mom. They know she is right. She is dependable. She always takes care of them. + +"Okay, mom," Sam says. He steps back from the pond. "We will not touch the ducks. We will just watch them." + +"Okay, mom," Mia says. She steps back from the pond too. "We will not touch the ducks. We will just feed them." + +Sam and Mia smile at their mom. They love their mom. They love the ducks too. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins, but they were very different. Tom liked to play with cars and trucks, and Lily liked to play with dolls and dresses. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was full of old clothes and things. + +"Let's play dress up!" Lily said. She took out a hat, a coat, and a belt with a shiny buckle. She put them on and looked in the mirror. "I am a pirate!" she said. + +"No, you are not!" Tom said. He took out a helmet, a vest, and a sword. He put them on and looked in the mirror. "I am a knight!" he said. + +They started to pretend to fight, but they were too loud. Mom came to the garage and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are making too much noise and you are ruining the clothes!" + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Lily said. They took off the clothes and put them back in the box. + +Mom smiled and gave them a hug. "It's okay to play, but you have to be careful and quiet," she said. "Why don't you go to your room and read a book?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and went to their room. They each picked a book from their shelf. Tom chose a book about cars and trucks, and Lily chose a book about dolls and dresses. They lay on their beds and read their books. They were different, but they were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big box that they filled with shiny things and hid under the sofa. + +"Let's go find our treasure, matey!" Ben said, putting on a hat and a hook. + +"Arrr, yes, let's go!" Anna agreed, grabbing a sword and a map. + +They crawled under the sofa and lifted the box. They opened it and smiled at their treasure. There were coins, necklaces, rings, and a big knob that looked like a diamond. + +"Wow, look at this knob! It's so pretty and sparkly!" Anna said, holding it up. + +"It's the most valuable thing in our treasure! It's the pirate king's knob!" Ben said, admiring it. + +"Can I have it, please? I really like it!" Anna asked, looking at Ben with big eyes. + +Ben hesitated. He liked the knob too, but he also liked Anna. He wanted to make her happy. + +"Okay, you can have it. But you have to promise me something," he said, handing her the knob. + +"What do I have to promise?" Anna asked, taking the knob. + +"You have to promise to always be my friend and share our treasure. And you have to promise to never lose the knob. It's very special and rare," Ben said, looking at her with a serious face. + +"I promise, I promise!" Anna said, nodding her head. "You are my best friend and I will always share our treasure. And I will never lose the knob. I will keep it safe and close to me." + +They hugged and smiled. They put the knob back in the box and closed it. They crawled out from under the sofa and continued to play. They were happy and proud of their treasure and their promise. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Every morning, they gather their toys and go to the park. They have fun with the swings, the slide and the sandbox. + +One morning, Lily and Tom are sad. They cannot go to the park. It is raining. The sky is gray and the ground is wet. They look out the window and see the park. It is empty and quiet. They miss the park. + +Lily and Tom decide to play inside. They gather their books and their crayons. They read stories and draw pictures. They make a tent with a blanket and a chair. They pretend they are in the park. They laugh and have fun. + +The rain stops. The sky is blue and the sun is shining. Lily and Tom are happy. They gather their toys and go to the park. They see their friends and play together. They have fun with the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They love the park. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Lily invites Ben to her house. She says, "Do you want to come to my house and play? I have a new puzzle and some cookies." + +Ben says, "Yes, I want to come. Thank you for inviting me, Lily. You are a good friend." + +They go to Lily's house and have fun. They do the puzzle and eat the cookies. They also play with Lily's doll and Ben's car. They are cheerful and laugh a lot. + +But then, they hear a noise. It is water dripping from the ceiling. There is a leak in the roof. Lily's mom comes and sees the leak. She says, "Oh no, there is a leak. We have to fix it. Lily, Ben, can you help me?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, we can help you, mom. What can we do?" + +Lily's mom says, "You can get some towels and buckets and put them under the leak. That will catch the water and keep the floor dry. Then, I will call the plumber and he will come and fix the leak." + +Lily and Ben do what Lily's mom says. They get the towels and buckets and put them under the leak. They work together and help Lily's mom. They are helpful and kind. + +Lily's mom says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very good helpers. I am proud of you. You are not only good friends, but also good neighbors." + +Lily and Ben smile and hug Lily's mom. They are happy and proud. They learn that it is good to invite friends and help others. They also learn that leaks are not fun, but they can be fixed. They are good friends, good helpers, and good neighbors. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big pear tree with many ripe pears on it. They wanted to pick some pears to eat, but the tree was too tall for them. + +"Let's get a ladder," said Lily. + +"No, let's climb the tree," said Ben. + +They argued for a while, but Ben was more stubborn. He ran to the tree and started to climb. Lily followed him, but she was scared. + +"Be careful, Ben," she said. "The branches are thin and the pears are heavy." + +Ben did not listen. He reached for a big pear, but he lost his balance. He stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud. He hurt his arm and his head. He cried out loud. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for him, but also angry. + +"See, Ben, I told you to be careful. You are silly and reckless. Now you are hurt and we have no pears." + +Ben sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to get a pear for us. They are sweet and healthy." + +Lily felt sorry for him too. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, let's listen to each other and be safe. Come on, let's go to Mom. She will make you feel better." + +They held hands and walked to the house. On the way, they saw a basket of pears on the porch. Mom had picked some pears for them from the tree. She smiled and said, "Look, kids, I have a surprise for you. Some fresh and healthy pears. Do you want some?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, please, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom." + +They ate some pears and shared them with Mom. They were sweet and juicy. They felt happy and grateful. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful, to listen, and to share. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben says. He tries to lift the lid, but it is too heavy. He asks Anna to help him. + +"No, let's not open it," Anna says. She has a different opinion. She thinks the box is a secret. She wants to sit on it and pretend it is a castle. + +Ben is not happy. He wants to see what is inside the box. He thinks it is a treasure. He does not want to sit on it and pretend it is a castle. + +They start to argue. They say mean words to each other. They do not want to share the box. + +Then, they hear a voice from inside the box. It says, "Hello, can you please let me out?" + +They are surprised. They stop arguing. They look at each other. They wonder who is in the box. + +They decide to open the lid together. They are curious. They are also a little scared. + +They lift the lid and see a big dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He says, "Thank you for freeing me. I was stuck in the box. I was looking for a new home. Can I be your friend?" + +Anna and Ben are happy. They like the dog. They forget their fight. They agree to share the box and the dog. They give the dog a name. They call him Boxer. They play with him and the box. They have fun. They are friends again. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together at school. One day, they play pretend with dolls and cars. + +"Let's make the dolls marry," Sara says. She picks up a doll with a pink dress and a doll with a blue shirt. "This is the bride and this is the groom." + +"OK," Ben says. He picks up a car and makes it drive to the dolls. "This is the taxi. It takes them to the church." + +They make the dolls walk to a cardboard box. The box is the church. Sara and Ben say the words they hear on TV. + +"Do you take this doll to be your wife?" Sara asks. + +"I do," Ben says. + +"Do you take this doll to be your husband?" Ben asks. + +"I do," Sara says. + +They make the dolls kiss. Then they clap their hands. + +"Yay, they are married!" Sara says. + +"Can I ask you something?" Ben says. + +"Sure, what is it?" Sara says. + +"Do you want to marry me when we grow up?" Ben says. + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes Ben, but she does not know what marry means. + +"What is marry?" Sara says. + +Ben thinks too. He does not know what marry means either. He just knows that people who love each other do it. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "But I think it is when you live together and share everything and hug a lot." + +Sara smiles. She likes to live and share and hug. + +"OK, then I want to marry you," Sara says. + +Ben smiles too. He hugs Sara. + +"Me too," Ben says. + +They are happy. They do not know that marry is more than that. They do not know that they need a brain to marry. They do not know that their brain is not normal. They do not know that they have a disease that makes their brain grow too fast and too big. They do not know that they will not live long. They do not know that they will never grow up. They only know that they love each other. And that is enough. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the sea, like fish, crabs and shells. + +"Look, Ben, what is that?" Lily pointed to a big, clear thing that floated near the shore. It had long, thin parts that moved in the waves. + +"I don't know, Lily. It looks like a balloon with strings. Maybe it is a toy that someone left here." Ben said. + +They ran to the thing and touched it. It felt soft and wet. They tried to pick it up, but it slipped from their hands. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She felt a sharp pain in her finger. She showed it to Ben. It had a red mark on it. + +"What happened, Lily? Did you hurt yourself?" Ben asked. + +"I think the thing bit me, Ben. It hurts a lot. Let's go to mom and dad." Lily said. + +They ran to their parents, who were sitting on a blanket. They told them what they saw and what they did. + +"That was not a toy, Ben and Lily. That was a jellyfish. A jellyfish is an animal that lives in the sea. It has stingers that can hurt you if you touch them. You have to be careful and stay away from them." Mom said. + +She took Lily's finger and put some cream on it. She gave her a hug and a kiss. + +"Does it feel better, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"A little bit, mom. But it still feels spicy, like when I eat hot sauce." Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. The cream will help it heal. Next time, we will look at the jellyfish from far away, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, mom. I'm sorry, too. I didn't know it was a jellyfish. I wonder why it has stingers. Does it use them to catch food?" Ben asked. + +"That's a good question, Ben. Maybe we can find a book about jellyfish and learn more about them. Would you like that?" Dad asked. + +"Yes, dad. I would like that. I like to learn new things." Ben said. + +They all smiled and hugged. They enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach, but they did not touch any more jellyfish. They learned to respect the animals that live in the sea. +Lily likes to wear her pink dress. It has flowers and ribbons on it. She feels pretty and happy when she wears it. She wears it to go to the park with her mom and dad. + +At the park, she sees many things. She sees birds and dogs and trees and swings. She likes the sight of the park. It makes her smile and laugh. She runs and plays with her mom and dad. + +She also sees a boy. He wears a blue shirt and jeans. He has a ball and a hat. He looks at Lily and smiles. He says, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily is shy. She does not know Ben. She holds her mom's hand. She says, "Hi, I'm Lily. I like your ball and hat." + +Ben is gentle. He does not push or shout. He says, "Thank you. I like your dress. It is pretty. Do you want to share my ball and hat?" + +Lily nods. She lets go of her mom's hand. She says, "Yes, please. Thank you. Can we be friends?" + +Ben says, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's play." + +Lily and Ben play with the ball and hat. They have fun. They are gentle and kind to each other. They are friends. Lily's mom and dad watch them. They are happy. They like the sight of Lily and Ben. They think they are sweet and cute. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They wanted to bake a cake for their mom's birthday. Lily was bossy and told Tom what to do. She said, "You mix the flour and the eggs. I will put the sugar and the butter. Then we will put it in the oven." + +Tom did what Lily said, but he was not happy. He wanted to do more things. He said, "Lily, can I put some chocolate chips and sprinkles on the cake? It will make it more yummy." + +Lily said, "No, Tom. You don't know how to bake. You will make a mess. Just do what I say. I know best." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He thought, "Lily is not nice. She is not a good sister. She does not let me have fun." + +When the cake was in the oven, Lily went to the living room to watch TV. She said, "Tom, you stay here and watch the cake. Don't touch anything. I will be back soon." + +Tom was bored and curious. He saw a big jar of honey on the counter. He thought, "Honey is sweet and sticky. Maybe it will make the cake better. Lily will not know. I will just put a little bit." + +He opened the jar and poured some honey on the cake. But he poured too much. The honey dripped down the sides of the cake and onto the oven. It started to smoke and smell bad. Tom was scared. He ran to the living room and called Lily. + +Lily came back and saw the smoke and the honey. She was shocked and angry. She said, "Tom, what did you do? You ruined the cake. You are so naughty. Mom will be mad at us." + +Tom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to make the cake better. You were so bossy and mean. You did not let me help you. You did not share with me." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Tom. I was not a good sister. I did not listen to you. I did not respect you. We should have worked together and had fun." + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. They turned off the oven and cleaned up the mess. They decided to bake a new cake with chocolate chips and sprinkles. They shared the tasks and the ideas. They had fun and learned a lesson. They made a beautiful and delicious cake for their mom. Their mom was happy and proud of them. She said, "You are the best twins ever. You baked a wonderful cake. You are so kind and smart. I love you very much." + +The end. +Tom and Amy were going to fly in a big plane with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and toys and went to the airport. + +But when they got there, they saw a lot of people waiting and looking sad. Mom and Dad checked the big board and said, "Oh no, our plane is delayed. We have to wait for a long time." + +Tom and Amy did not like waiting. They wanted to fly in the big plane and see the clouds and the birds. They asked Mom and Dad, "Why is our plane delayed? When can we go?" + +Mom and Dad said, "There is a problem with the weather. It is very windy and stormy. The plane cannot fly safely in the sky. We have to wait until the weather is better." + +Tom and Amy were bored and restless. They tried to play with their toys, but they did not have much space. They tried to read their books, but they did not have much light. They tried to watch the other planes, but they did not see many. + +They saw a man who was talking very loud and angry. He was waving his arms and shouting at the people who worked at the airport. He said, "This is crazy! I have to fly now! I have a very important meeting! You have to let me on the plane!" + +The people who worked at the airport tried to calm him down. They said, "Sir, please be patient. We are sorry for the delay, but we cannot control the weather. We are doing our best to help you and the other passengers. Please wait in your seat and we will let you know when the plane is ready." + +But the man did not listen. He kept yelling and making a fuss. He tried to push his way to the gate. He said, "I don't care about the weather! I don't care about the safety! I don't care about the rules! I have to fly now!" + +Tom and Amy watched the man and felt scared. They did not like his voice and his face. They did not understand why he was so crazy. They hugged Mom and Dad and said, "We don't want to fly with that man. He is not nice. He is not fun. He is not smart." + +Mom and Dad hugged them back and said, "Don't worry, sweeties. We won't fly with that man. He is not going to the same place as us. He is going to a different plane. And he is going to get in trouble for being so rude and mean. We are going to fly in our plane when it is safe and ready. And we are going to have a wonderful time. We love you very much." + +Tom and Amy felt better and said, "We love you too, Mom and Dad. We are sorry for the delay, but we are happy to be with you. We hope the weather gets better soon. We hope the plane flies soon. We hope the man learns to be nice soon." +Tom likes to walk with his horse. His horse is big and brown and has a soft nose. Tom gives his horse grass and water and hugs him every day. His horse is his best friend. + +One day, Tom and his horse walk to the park. They see many flowers and birds and trees. Tom is happy and sings a song. His horse is happy and makes a noise. They walk slow and enjoy the sun. + +But then, a big truck comes. The truck is loud and fast and scary. Tom and his horse do not see the truck. The truck does not see them. The truck hits them and they fall down. Tom and his horse are hurt and bleed. They cry and feel pain. + +The truck stops and the driver gets out. He is sorry and calls for help. He tries to help Tom and his horse, but it is too late. Tom and his horse die. They do not walk or sing or hug anymore. They are gone. + +The end. +Anna and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, giraffes, and elephants. But their favorite was the monkey house. They liked to watch the monkeys swing, jump, and play. + +"Look, mom, that monkey is so graceful!" Anna said, pointing to a brown monkey that moved from branch to branch with ease. + +"Yes, he is, honey. He is a spider monkey. They have long arms and tails that help them balance and reach for fruits and nuts," mom explained. + +"I want to feed him!" Ben said, holding a banana in his hand. He walked closer to the cage, but mom stopped him. + +"No, Ben, you can't do that. The monkeys have their own food, and they might get sick or bite you if you give them yours," mom said. + +"But I want to!" Ben said, and tried to pull away from mom. He refused to listen to her. + +Suddenly, the spider monkey saw the banana and reached out his hand. He grabbed the banana from Ben and peeled it. He made a loud noise and showed his teeth. + +"Ah, he took my banana!" Ben cried. He was scared and ran back to mom. + +"See, Ben, I told you. The monkey is not your friend. He is wild and hungry. You have to be careful and respectful of the animals," mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I won't do that again," Ben said. He hugged mom and said sorry to the monkey. + +Anna smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. You learned your lesson. Let's go see the penguins now. They are cute and funny." + +Mom nodded and took their hands. They left the monkey house and went to see the other animals. They had a fun and safe day at the zoo. +Jenny loved her bike. It had two big wheels and a shiny bell. She liked to pedal fast and ring the bell. One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a charming boy with a red bike. He smiled at her and said, "Hi, I'm Max. Do you want to race?" + +Jenny nodded and said, "Yes, I do. My bike is faster than yours." She got on her bike and waited for Max to say, "Go!" + +But Max did not say, "Go!" He said, "Ha ha, your bike is old and slow. Mine is new and cool. I don't want to race with you. You are silly and boring." He pedaled away and left Jenny alone. + +Jenny felt sad and angry. She wanted to catch up with Max and tell him he was mean and rude. She pedaled hard and fast. But she did not see a big rock on the path. She hit the rock and fell off her bike. She scraped her knee and elbow. She cried out loud. + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She hugged her and said, "Oh, Jenny, are you okay? What happened?" Jenny told her mom what Max said and did. Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Jenny. That boy was not charming at all. He was nasty and unkind. You don't need to race with him. You are smart and fun. And your bike is beautiful and strong. Let me help you up and clean your wounds. Then we can go home and have some ice cream." + +Jenny smiled a little and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my bike." She got up and took her bike. She rang the bell and said, "Bye, Max. You are a bad boy. I don't want to play with you." She pedaled away with her mom. But she still felt sad and hurt. She wished she could find a nice friend to race with. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with tools. They have a big box of tools in their room. They have hammers, saws, screws, nails, and more. + +One day, they decide to build a fort with their tools. They find some wood and cardboard in the garage. They bring them to their room. They start to hammer and saw and screw and nail. + +"Look, Sam, our fort is mighty!" Tom says. "We can hide in it and play games." + +"Yes, Tom, our fort is mighty!" Sam says. "We can pretend we are knights and dragons." + +They have fun building and playing with their fort. But they make a lot of noise. Their mom hears them from downstairs. She comes to their room. + +"Tom, Sam, stop!" she says. "You are making too much noise. And you are making a mess. You can't use tools in your room. You can hurt yourselves or break something." + +Tom and Sam look at their mom. They feel sad. They like their fort. They don't want to stop. + +"But mom, we are having fun," Tom says. "We are building a mighty fort." + +"I know, boys, but tools are not toys," mom says. "They are dangerous. You can only use them with an adult. And you have to be careful and tidy. You can't leave wood and cardboard and nails and screws everywhere. Someone can trip or get hurt." + +Tom and Sam understand. They love their mom. They don't want to make her angry or worried. They say sorry to their mom. + +"Sorry, mom," they say. "We didn't mean to make noise or mess. We just wanted to play." + +Mom smiles. She hugs them. She is not angry. She loves them too. + +"It's okay, boys," she says. "I know you are creative and curious. But you have to be safe and respectful. How about we take your tools and your fort to the backyard? There you can play with them and make noise and mess. But you have to clean up afterwards. And you have to let me help you with the tools. Deal?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They are happy. They like the idea. They thank their mom. + +"Thank you, mom," they say. "You are the best. Can we go to the backyard now?" + +Mom laughs. She says yes. She helps them carry their tools and their fort to the backyard. There they have more fun. They play with their tools and their fort. They are mighty. And they are safe. And they are good. The end. +Tim and Mia are playing with their new toy. It is a laser. It makes a red light that can point at things. Tim likes to point the laser at the wall and make shapes. Mia likes to point the laser at the cat and make it chase the light. + +"Look, Mia, I can make a star!" Tim says, moving the laser on the wall. + +"That's nice, Tim, but be careful. Don't point the laser at your eyes or other people's eyes. It can hurt them," Mia says, watching the cat run after the light. + +"Why not? It's just a light," Tim says, curious. + +"It's not just a light, Tim. It's a laser. It's very strong and bright. It can damage your eyes if you look at it too long or too close. Mom and Dad told us to be careful with the laser, remember?" Mia says, urging Tim to listen to her. + +"Oh, okay. I don't want to hurt my eyes or anyone else's eyes. I'll be careful with the laser, Mia. Thanks for telling me," Tim says, nodding. + +"You're welcome, Tim. Now let's play some more. But let's not bother the cat too much. He might get angry and scratch us," Mia says, smiling. + +"Okay, Mia. Let's play some more. But let's be nice to the cat. He's our friend," Tim says, smiling back. + +They play with the laser for a while, making shapes and patterns on the wall and the floor. They are careful not to point the laser at their eyes or other people's eyes. They are also nice to the cat, giving him some treats and petting him. They have fun with their new toy, but they also remember to be safe and kind. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They had a big ball that they could roll and kick and throw. One day, they saw a new path in the park. It led to a creek with clear water and shiny stones. Tom and Lily wanted to see the creek, so they took their ball and followed the path. + +The path was bumpy and twisty. Tom and Lily had to be careful not to trip or fall. They held their ball tight, but sometimes it bounced away from them. They always ran after it and caught it again. They were having fun, but they did not see the sign that said "Danger! Do not go near the creek!" + +The creek was very pretty, but also very fast. The water made a loud noise as it rushed over the rocks. Tom and Lily stopped at the edge of the creek and looked at the water. They saw some fish and frogs and ducks. They wanted to touch the water, but they knew it was not safe. They stayed on the land and threw some stones into the water. + +Tom had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's roll the ball into the water and see what happens!" Lily thought that was a bad idea. She said, "No, Tom, we might lose the ball!" But Tom did not listen. He rolled the ball towards the water, hoping it would bounce back to him. But the ball did not bounce. It went into the water and was carried away by the current. + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They had lost their ball. They tried to chase it, but it was too fast. They could not catch it. They cried and cried. They wished they had listened to Lily and not rolled the ball into the water. They learned a hard lesson that day. They never played near the creek again. +Lily liked to joke with her big brother Sam. She would hide his toys, make funny faces, and tell silly stories. Sam would laugh and joke back with her. They had fun together. + +One day, Sam got a new model car for his birthday. It was amazing. It had shiny wheels, bright colors, and a loud horn. Sam wanted to show it to Lily. He put it on the table and said, "Look, Lily, this is my new model car. It is amazing. Do you like it?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the model car too. It looked like a real car, but smaller. She wanted to touch it and play with it. But she also wanted to joke with Sam. She had an idea. + +She waited until Sam went to the kitchen to get a snack. Then she took the model car and hid it under the sofa. She giggled and ran back to the table. When Sam came back, he saw that his model car was gone. He looked around and said, "Hey, where is my model car? Who took it?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I don't know. Maybe a mouse took it. Or a bird. Or a dinosaur. Or a fairy. Or a monster. Or a robot. Or a pirate. Or a clown. Or a dragon. Or a unicorn. Or a mermaid. Or a superhero. Or a princess. Or a ninja. Or a cowboy. Or a astronaut. Or a chef. Or a doctor. Or a teacher. Or a firefighter. Or a policeman. Or a farmer. Or a baker. Or a painter. Or a singer. Or a dancer. Or a writer. Or a..." + +Sam interrupted her and said, "Okay, okay, I get it. You took it. You are joking with me. That's not nice, Lily. Give it back, please." + +Lily laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I was just joking. Here is your model car. It is under the sofa. I like it too. Can we play with it together?" + +Sam smiled and said, "Sure, we can play with it together. But no more jokes, okay? And thank you for saying sorry." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, no more jokes. And you're welcome. You are a good brother, Sam. And your model car is amazing." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big picture of a leopard on a wall. The leopard has many spots and yellow fur. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "What is its name?" + +"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it is Leo. Leo the leopard." + +"Leo is a good name," Tom says. "Do you think he is nice?" + +Mia nods. "Yes, I think he is nice. He has clear eyes. He looks happy." + +Tom and Mia go closer to the picture. They want to say hello to Leo. But then they hear a loud roar. It is not Leo. It is a real leopard. He is behind the wall. He is angry. + +"Run!" Tom and Mia shout. They run away from the wall. They are scared. + +The leopard jumps over the wall. He sees Tom and Mia. He chases them. He is fast. + +"Help!" Tom and Mia cry. They look for a place to hide. + +They see a big tree. They run to the tree. They climb up the tree. They hold on tight. + +The leopard reaches the tree. He cannot climb. He growls. He scratches the tree. He tries to get Tom and Mia. + +Tom and Mia hug each other. They pray. They hope the leopard will go away. + +They see a man. He is a zookeeper. He has a net and a dart. He sees the leopard. He throws the net over the leopard. He shoots the dart at the leopard. The leopard falls asleep. + +The zookeeper calls for help. He says the leopard escaped from the zoo. He says he is sorry. He says he will take the leopard back to the zoo. + +Tom and Mia are safe. They are happy. They thank the zookeeper. They go down the tree. + +They look at the picture of Leo. They smile. + +"Leo is nice," Tom says. "But the real leopard is not." + +Mia agrees. "Yes, the real leopard is not. He is mean. He is scary." + +They hold hands. They walk away from the wall. They go back to the park. They play. They have fun. They forget about the real leopard. They remember Leo. Leo the leopard. +Lily was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things and ask questions. She also liked to help her mom in the kitchen. One day, her mom was making a cake and Lily wanted to help. + +"Can I lift the eggs, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. They are fragile and can break," her mom said. + +Lily lifted one egg with both hands and put it in a bowl. She felt proud of herself. She lifted another egg and did the same. She was about to lift the third egg when she saw a shiny fork on the counter. + +"What is this, mom?" Lily asked, pointing at the fork. + +"That is a fork, Lily. We use it to eat or to mix things," her mom said. + +Lily was curious about the fork. She wanted to see how it worked. She put down the egg and picked up the fork. She looked at the prongs and the handle. She wondered what would happen if she touched the egg with the fork. + +She lifted the fork and poked the egg. The egg cracked and spilled on the counter. Lily gasped and dropped the fork. She looked at the mess and felt sorry. + +"Oh no, mom, I'm sorry! I broke the egg!" Lily said. + +Her mom turned around and saw the egg and the fork. She was not angry, but she was not happy either. She sighed and smiled. + +"It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. You were just curious. But next time, please ask me before you touch something new. And don't lift the fork, lift the egg," her mom said. + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She said she was sorry again and helped her mom clean up. She learned a new word and a new lesson. She was still a very intelligent girl. +Lily was very excited to go to bed. She had a new night-light that her grandma gave her. It was a pink unicorn that could glow in different colors. Lily wanted to see how it looked in the dark. + +She put the unicorn on her bedside table and turned off the lamp. She climbed into her bed and pulled the covers over her. She pressed the button on the unicorn's belly and watched it glow. It changed from pink to purple to blue to green. Lily smiled and said, "Wow, you are so pretty!" + +But then she heard a knock on the door. It was her big brother, Max. He opened the door and saw the unicorn. He laughed and said, "What is that? A baby toy? You are too old for that. Unicorns are silly and girly. You should have a cool night-light, like a dinosaur or a rocket." + +Lily felt embarrassed. She didn't want Max to make fun of her. She liked her unicorn. She thought it was magical and beautiful. She said, "No, it's not a baby toy. It's a special gift from grandma. And I like unicorns. They are not silly or girly. They are strong and brave and smart. And they can glow in the dark. Can your dinosaur or rocket do that?" + +Max stopped laughing. He looked at the unicorn again. He saw how it changed colors and how it made Lily happy. He felt a little sorry for being mean. He said, "Well, I guess it is kind of cool. And I'm sorry for teasing you. You can like whatever you want. And grandma is very nice. Maybe she can get me a night-light too. But not a unicorn. Maybe a dragon or a star." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's okay. And maybe we can share our night-lights sometimes. And we can pretend that they are friends. And they can go on adventures together. And they can glow in the dark." + +Max nodded and said, "That sounds fun. Good night, Lily. Sweet dreams." + +He closed the door and left. Lily hugged her unicorn and said, "Good night, unicorn. Thank you for glowing. You are my favorite night-light." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom at the market. They had a big basket of red apples that they wanted to sell to people. Mom told them to be careful with the apples and not to drop them or eat them. + +One day, a man came to their stall and asked for two apples. Ben and Lily were happy and gave him two apples from the basket. The man gave them some money and said thank you. Ben and Lily put the money in a jar and smiled. + +But then, Lily saw a big dog walking by. She loved dogs and wanted to pet it. She was careless and left the basket on the ground. She ran after the dog and called it. The dog did not hear her and kept walking. + +Ben saw what Lily did and was angry. He shouted at her to come back and watch the apples. But it was too late. A boy saw the basket and took an apple. He ran away with it and did not pay. Ben tried to catch him but he was too fast. + +When Lily came back, she saw that an apple was missing. She was sorry and said sorry to Ben. Ben was still angry but he forgave her. He told her to be more careful next time and not to leave the apples alone. Lily nodded and hugged him. They decided to sell the rest of the apples together and not to chase dogs or boys. Mom was proud of them and gave them a hug too. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big sack that they filled with things they found. They liked to look for bugs, rocks, leaves and flowers. + +One day, they saw a new plant in the garden. It had big green leaves and red berries. Tom and Lily thought the berries looked delicious. They picked some and put them in their sack. + +They ran to their mom and showed her their sack. "Look, mom, we found a yummy plant!" they said. + +Mom looked at the sack and saw the berries. She knew they were not yummy. They were bad. They could make Tom and Lily sick. She said, "No, no, no, these are not yummy. These are poison. You must not eat them. You must throw them away." + +Tom and Lily were sad. They did not know the plant was poison. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said, "I have something yummy for you. Come inside and I will give you some cookies and milk." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They threw away the poison berries and followed mom inside. They ate the cookies and drank the milk. They said, "Thank you, mom, these are delicious." Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my loves. But remember, always ask me before you eat something from the garden." Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They were happy and full. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make a race track with books and boxes. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars on the track. + +Tom has a red car. He thinks his car is the fastest. He pushes his car very hard. He says, "My car can speed like a rocket!" Mia has a blue car. She thinks her car is the smartest. She pushes her car gently. She says, "My car can turn and avoid crashes!" + +Tom's car is very fast, but it is also very wild. It bumps into books and boxes. It flies off the track. It lands on the floor. Tom says, "Oh no! My car is broken!" Mia's car is not very fast, but it is very smart. It follows the track. It passes the books and boxes. It reaches the finish line. Mia says, "Yay! My car is the winner!" + +Tom is sad. He looks at his broken car. He says, "I wish I had a smart car like yours." Mia is kind. She looks at Tom. She says, "Don't be sad. We can share my car. We can fix your car together. We can make a new race track with more fun things." + +Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. You have a smart car and a smart image." Mia smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You have a fast car and a fast image." They hug and play with the blue car. They have fun. They are happy. +Ben and Lily are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They have a big loop that they can make their cars go through. They like to see how fast and high their cars can fly. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my car go upside down!" Ben says, as he pushes his red car through the loop. + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily says, as she watches his car zoom out of the loop and land on the grass. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Ben says, as he gives her his car. "But be careful, it's very fast!" + +Lily takes the car and pushes it hard through the loop. But she pushes it too hard, and the car flies out of the loop and hits a big rock. The car breaks into many pieces and scatters all over the garden. + +"Oh no, Lily, you broke my car!" Ben says, as he runs to the rock and sees the pieces of his car. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to!" Lily says, as she follows him and sees the mess. "Can we fix it?" + +Ben looks at the pieces and shakes his head. "No, Lily, we can't. It's too broken. Now I don't have a car to play with." + +Lily feels bad and starts to cry. She doesn't want Ben to be sad. She looks around and sees a funny thing. It's a big yellow banana peel that someone left on the ground. She has an idea. + +"Ben, look, I found something for you!" Lily says, as she picks up the banana peel and gives it to Ben. + +"What is it, Lily?" Ben says, as he takes the banana peel and looks at it. + +"It's a new car, Ben! A banana car!" Lily says, as she smiles. "You can make it go through the loop, too. It's very fun!" + +Ben looks at the banana peel and laughs. He thinks it's a funny car. He decides to try it. + +"Okay, Lily, let's see how the banana car goes!" Ben says, as he pushes the banana peel through the loop. + +The banana peel goes through the loop and flies in the air. It lands on Ben's head and makes him look like he has yellow hair. + +Ben and Lily laugh and laugh. They think it's very funny. They forget about the broken car and play with the banana car instead. They have fun in the garden. +Lily was playing with her dolls in the living room. She liked to pretend they were having a tea party. She poured water from a small pitcher into tiny cups and gave them to her dolls. She made them talk in funny voices. + +"Would you like some more tea, Miss Daisy?" she asked one of her dolls. + +"Yes, please, Lily. You are such a good hostess," the doll answered. + +Lily smiled and poured more water. She did not notice that the pitcher was almost empty. + +"Would you like some more tea, Mr. Bear?" she asked another doll. + +But before the doll could answer, she heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like water splashing everywhere. + +Lily ran to the kitchen and saw that her brother Max had turned on the faucet and was playing with the water. He had made a big mess on the floor and the counter. + +"Max, what are you doing?" Lily shouted. "You are wasting water and making a mess!" + +Max looked at her and grinned. He liked to play with the faucet. He thought it was fun to see the water come out in different ways. He did not care about the mess. + +"I'm playing, Lily. Go away," he said. + +Lily was very angry and impatient. She wanted to play with her dolls and have a nice tea party. She did not want to deal with Max and his water games. + +She tried to turn off the faucet, but Max pushed her away. + +"Stop it, Max. You have to turn off the faucet. Mom will be mad if she sees this," Lily said. + +"No, I don't. You can't tell me what to do. You are not the boss of me," Max said. + +They started to fight over the faucet. They pulled and pushed and yelled at each other. They did not hear Mom coming home from the store. + +Mom opened the door and saw the water and the mess. She was very surprised and unhappy. + +"What is going on here?" she asked in a stern voice. + +Lily and Max stopped fighting and looked at Mom. They knew they were in trouble. They did not answer. They hung their heads and felt sorry. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the park. They wear warm sweaters because it is cold. + +One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on it. They run to the slide and take turns. Anna goes first, then Ben, then Anna, then Ben. + +"Slide is fun!" Anna says. + +"Yes, fun!" Ben says. + +They slide and slide until they are tired. They sit on a bench and drink some juice. They are happy. + +But then, Anna looks at Ben and sees something. She gasps. + +"Ben, where is your sweater?" she asks. + +Ben looks at himself. He does not have his sweater. He only has his shirt. + +"Oh no! I lose my sweater!" he says. + +He feels cold and sad. He does not know where his sweater is. + +Anna feels sorry for Ben. She thinks hard. She remembers something. + +"Ben, maybe your sweater is on the slide. Maybe you drop it when you slide. Come, let's go look!" she says. + +She takes Ben's hand and they run to the slide. They look at the top and the bottom. They do not see the sweater. + +They feel sad. They do not know what to do. + +But then, they hear a voice. A quiet voice. + +"Excuse me, are you looking for this?" the voice says. + +They turn around and see a girl. She is holding Ben's sweater. She smiles. + +"I find your sweater on the slide. I think it is yours. Here you go!" she says. + +She gives Ben his sweater. Ben takes it and puts it on. He feels warm and happy. + +"Thank you, thank you!" he says. + +He hugs the girl. The girl hugs him back. + +Anna smiles. She is happy for Ben. She also hugs the girl. + +"Thank you, too! You are very nice!" she says. + +The girl smiles. She is happy to help. + +"You are welcome! You are very nice, too! Do you want to play with me?" she asks. + +Anna and Ben nod. They want to play with the girl. + +They introduce themselves. The girl's name is Lily. They become friends. + +They play on the slide, the swings, and the seesaw. They have fun. + +They do not lose anything else. They only find a new friend. +Lily liked to ride her bike. She had a pink bike with a bell and a basket. She rode her bike every day with her dad. They went to the park, to the shop, to the school. Lily was happy on her bike. + +One day, Lily saw a boy with a big bike. His bike had two wheels and no basket. He rode very fast and made loud noises. Lily wanted to ride his bike. She asked her dad, "Can I ride his bike?" + +Her dad said, "No, Lily. His bike is too big for you. You need to ride your bike. Your bike is good for you." + +Lily was sad. She did not want to ride her bike. She wanted to ride the big bike. She said, "But I want to ride his bike. His bike is fun. My bike is boring." + +Her dad said, "Lily, don't be lazy. Riding your bike is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. And your bike is not boring. It has a bell and a basket. You can ring the bell and put things in the basket. That is fun." + +Lily thought for a moment. She looked at her bike. She looked at the boy's bike. She touched her finger to her chin. She said, "OK, dad. You are right. I will ride my bike. But can I ring the bell?" + +Her dad smiled. He said, "Yes, Lily. You can ring the bell. And I will ring mine too. Let's go and ride our bikes together." + +Lily smiled too. She got on her bike. She rang the bell. Her dad got on his bike. He rang his bell. They rode their bikes together. They had fun.

He picks some and gives them to Mia. Mia likes the green bugs. She tries to catch some and put them in a jar. + +But the green bugs are fast and smart. They fly away or hide under the leaves. Mia is patient. She waits and watches. She sees a big green bug on a yellow flower. She moves slowly and carefully. She puts her jar over the bug and the flower. She has caught it! + +Mia is happy. She shows Tim her green bug. Tim is happy too. He says it is a beautiful bug. He asks Mia if she wants to trade. He offers her his red flowers for her green bug. Mia thinks. She likes the red flowers, but she also likes the green bug. She decides to share. She gives Tim half of her green bug and he gives her half of his red flowers. They are both happy. They hug and say thank you. They go back to the garden and look for more flowers and bugs. They have fun. +Lily loved books. She liked to look at the pictures and make up stories in her head. She had many books in her room, but her favorite was the one with the mighty lion on the cover. The lion was big and strong and brave. He could roar and run and jump and hunt. Lily wanted to be like the lion. + +One day, Lily took her book to the park. She wanted to show it to her friends. She was very proud of her book. She put it on the bench and ran to the slide. She had fun sliding and swinging and playing. She forgot about her book. + +Tommy saw the book on the bench. He liked books too, but he did not have many. He wanted to have the book with the mighty lion. He looked around and saw no one. He took the book and ran away. He did not care if it belonged to someone else. He was selfish and mean. + +Lily came back to the bench. She looked for her book, but it was gone. She felt sad and angry. She asked her friends if they saw her book, but they did not. She looked all over the park, but she could not find it. She cried and cried. She lost her favorite book. + +Tommy hid the book in his backpack. He went home and locked his door. He opened the book and looked at the pictures. He smiled and laughed. He thought he was clever and lucky. He did not know that the book had a surprise. The book was magic. The mighty lion could come out of the book and talk. He was not happy to see Tommy. He was angry and hungry. He roared and jumped and hunted. He did not care if Tommy was scared or sorry. He was fierce and wild. He did not surrender. He ate Tommy. He took back his book. He went back to the book and waited for Lily. He hoped she would find him. He liked Lily. She was kind and brave. She was his friend. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, it rained a lot. The water came out of the river and made a big flood. The flood was scary and wet. + +Lily and Tom ran to the big tree. They climbed up and waited for the water to go away. They saw many things floating in the flood. They saw a ball, a bike, a hat and a duck. + +"Look, a duck!" Lily said. "It is swimming in the flood. Maybe it is lost." + +"Maybe we can help it," Tom said. "We can lead it to the pond. The pond is safe and has other ducks." + +Lily and Tom waved to the duck. They made noises like quack-quack. The duck saw them and swam to the tree. Lily and Tom reached down and lifted the duck up. The duck was wet and soft. + +"Hello, duck," Lily said. "We are your friends. We will lead you to the pond." + +The duck nodded and quacked. Lily and Tom climbed down the tree. They held the duck and walked to the pond. The pond was not flooded. It had water lilies and frogs and other ducks. + +Lily and Tom put the duck in the pond. The duck was happy. It swam to the other ducks and quacked. The other ducks quacked back. + +"Bye, duck," Lily and Tom said. "We are glad we helped you. Have fun in the pond." + +The duck waved and quacked. Lily and Tom smiled and waved back. They were glad too. They had a new friend and a good adventure. They went home and told their moms and dads. They hoped the flood would go away soon.

Why are you fighting?" + +Lisa and Tom stop and look at mom. They both say, "He/she broke my crayons/cars!" + +Mom says, "No, no, no. Nobody broke your crayons or your cars. They were already broken. I found them in the trash. I thought you did not want them anymore. I was going to buy you new ones." + +Lisa and Tom feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "Oh, mom. We are sorry. We did not know. We thought you wanted them." + +Mom says, "It's okay, Lisa and Tom. I know you love your crayons and your cars. But you should not fight with each other. You should share and help each other.

She bounced on her bed, on the sofa, on the trampoline. She bounced everywhere she could. She liked to bounce with style. She wore her pink dress, her shiny shoes, and her sparkly tiara. She felt like a princess when she bounced. + +One day, she went to visit her grandma. Grandma had a lot of pretty things in her house. She had vases, plates, cups, and statues. They were all different colors and shapes. Anna wanted to touch them, but grandma said no. "They are fragile, my dear. They can break very easily. You have to be careful with them." + +Anna nodded, but she was curious. She wanted to see how they looked up close. She waited until grandma went to the kitchen. Then she tiptoed to the shelf where the statues were. She saw a blue one that looked like a bird. She reached for it, but it was too high. She had an idea. She moved a chair next to the shelf. She climbed on the chair and stood on it. She stretched her arm and grabbed the bird. She smiled. It was so pretty. + +She wanted to bounce with it. She thought it would look nice with her tiara. She jumped off the chair and started to bounce. She bounced on the rug, on the floor, on the couch. She bounced with style. She felt like a princess with a bird. + +But then, something bad happened. She bounced too high and lost her balance. She fell off the couch and landed on the floor. The bird flew out of her hand and hit the wall. It broke into many pieces. Anna heard a loud noise. She looked at the bird. She saw the cracks, the chips, the shards. She felt a tear in her eye. She broke grandma's fragile bird. + +She heard grandma's footsteps. She was coming back. Anna was scared. She didn't know what to say. She hid under the couch and hoped grandma wouldn't see her. But grandma saw the broken bird. She saw the chair, the tiara, the shoes.

It was shiny and smooth and had many colors. The little crab was very happy. He ran to the huge shell and tried to fit in. But the huge shell was too huge. The little crab was lost inside the shell. He could not see or hear anything. + +"Help! Help!" he cried. "I am stuck in this huge shell!" + +A big fish heard the little crab's cry. He swam to the huge shell and looked inside. He saw the little crab, scared and alone. + +"Hello, little crab," he said. "Why are you in this huge shell?" + +"I wanted a new shell, but this one is too huge," the little crab said. "Can you help me get out?" + +"Of course, I can help you," the big fish said. "But you have to promise me something." + +"What is it?" the little crab asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will not try to gain any more huge shells. They are not good for you. You are a little crab, and you need a little shell that fits you well." + +"OK, I promise," the little crab said. "Please help me get out." + +The big fish used his tail to push the huge shell. The huge shell rolled over and the little crab came out. He was free and happy. + +"Thank you, big fish," he said. "You are very kind and smart." + +"You are welcome, little crab," the big fish said. "Now go and find a shell that is right for you." + +The little crab nodded and waved goodbye. He learned his lesson. He did not want to gain any more huge shells. He wanted a shell that was cozy and comfortable. He searched and searched until he found one. He moved in and smiled. He had a new shell that he loved. +Lily and Max were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked at the big tree in the living room. It had many shiny ornaments on it. Lily had an idea. + +"Let's dance with the ornaments!" she said to Max. + +Max smiled. He liked to dance. He took a red ornament from the tree and held it in his hand. Lily took a blue one. They turned on the music and started to dance. + +They twirled and jumped and spun around. The ornaments sparkled in the light. They made funny noises and faces. They had fun. + +But then, Max tripped on a rug and fell down. The red ornament slipped from his hand and broke on the floor. It made a loud noise. Max started to cry. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. She ran to Max and hugged him. "Are you okay?" + +Max nodded. He was not hurt, but he was sad. He liked the red ornament. It was his favorite. + +"I'm sorry, Max. It was an accident. Don't cry," Lily said. + +She looked at the broken ornament. She had an idea. + +"Look, Max. The ornament is not gone. It is still here. It is just different. See? It has many pieces. They are like stars. We can make something with them. We can make a picture or a necklace or a crown. Do you want to try?" + +Max looked at Lily. He wiped his tears. He smiled. He liked to make things. He nodded. + +"Okay, Lily. Let's try. Thank you for being my friend." + +They took the pieces of the ornament and some glue and paper. They made a picture of a dancing star. They put it on the wall. They were proud of it. + +They danced some more with the other ornaments. They were not bored anymore. They were happy. +Timmy loved to play with his mom's crystal ball. It was shiny and round and made pretty colors when he moved it. He liked to pretend he was a wizard and could see the future. But his mom always told him to be careful and not drop it, or it would break and hurt him. + +One day, when his mom was busy in the kitchen, Timmy sneaked into her room and took the crystal ball from the shelf. He ran to the living room and sat on the couch with it. He smiled and said, "I am Timmy the great. I can see everything that will happen. Let me look into the crystal ball." + +He held the ball in front of his eyes and stared at it. He saw his own face, then his mom's face, then his dad's face. He giggled and said, "I see my family. They love me very much. What else can I see?" He moved the ball around and saw his toys, his books, his dog. He said, "I see my things. They make me happy. What else can I see?" + +He moved the ball again and saw something scary. He saw a big crack in the ball, and blood on his hand. He gasped and said, "What is this? This is not good. This is bad. I don't want to see this." He tried to look away, but the ball was too heavy and slippery. He lost his grip and the ball fell to the floor. + +There was a loud noise and a flash of light. The ball shattered into many pieces. Timmy screamed and cried. He felt a sharp pain in his hand. He looked and saw a cut from a piece of glass. He was bleeding. He was scared. He was hurt. + +His mom heard the noise and the scream and ran to the living room. She saw the mess and the blood and Timmy. She was shocked and angry and worried. She said, "Timmy, what have you done? You broke my crystal ball. You disobeyed me. You hurt yourself. How could you do this?" + +Timmy sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I just wanted to play. I didn't mean to break it. I didn't mean to hurt myself. Please don't be mad at me. Please help me." + +His mom sighed and said, "Oh, Timmy. You are a silly boy. You should have listened to me. You should have been careful. You should have left the crystal ball alone. Now you have to suffer the consequences. Come here, let me see your hand. I'll clean it and bandage it. It will sting a little, but it will heal. And you will learn your lesson." + +She took Timmy to the bathroom and did what she said. Timmy whimpered and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I love you." + +His mom hugged him and said, "I love you too, Timmy. But you have to be more responsible. You have to respect my things. You have to think before you act. You have to be a good boy. Do you understand?" + +Timmy nodded and said, "I understand, Mommy. I'll be a good boy. I'll never touch your crystal ball again." + +His mom smiled and said, "That's good, Timmy. But you know what? I don't have a crystal ball anymore. You broke it. It's gone. And I'm very sad about that. It was a special gift from your grandma. It was very precious to me. And now I don't have it anymore. And that makes me miserable." + +Timmy looked at his mom and saw tears in her eyes. He felt sorry for her. He said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't know. I didn't mean to make you miserable. I wish I could make it better. I wish I could give you a new crystal ball." + +His mom shook her head and said, "You can't, Timmy. You can't undo what you did. You can't replace what you lost. You can only say sorry and mean it. And you can only try to be more careful and more respectful in the future. And you can only hope that I will forgive you and love you anyway. And I will, Timmy. I will. Because you are my son. And I love you more than anything. Even more than a crystal ball." + +She kissed him and said, "Now, let's go and clean up the mess. And then we'll have some cookies and milk. And then we'll read a story. And then we'll go to bed. And tomorrow, we'll start a new day. And we'll try to be happy. And we'll try to forget about the crystal ball. OK?" + +Timmy nodded and said, +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They have a big box of toys.

Go away." + +Lily and Ben start to shout. They shout and shout. They pull and tug. They make a big mess. Flour and sugar and dough and jam fly everywhere. They are angry. + +Mom hears the shouting. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, Lily and Ben. What are you doing? You are making a big mess. You are not sharing. You are not nice." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We are sorry." + +Mom says, "It is OK. But you have to clean up the mess. And you have to share your toys. You can both have some cake and some pie. They are sweet. But not as sweet as you." +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys and books and puzzles to keep them busy. But sometimes they got bored and looked for other things to do. + +One day, they saw a big pile of magazines on the coffee table.

She saw Sara and Ben and the magazines. She was very angry and sad. + +"Sara and Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "These magazines were mine. They were special and expensive. You behaved very badly. You made a filthy mess. You have to clean it up and say sorry." + +Sara and Ben felt sorry. They knew they did something wrong. They helped Mom pick up the magazines and put them in the trash. They said sorry to Mom and gave her a hug. They promised to behave better next time. Mom forgave them and gave them a hug too. She told them to play nicely with their toys and books and puzzles.

It was his mom's favorite dish. She used it for special dinners. Tom wanted to play with it. He thought it would make a good hat for his lion act. + +He climbed on the chair and reached for the dish. But he was not careful. He knocked over a vase and a book. They made a loud noise. Sue was frightened. She said, "Tom, stop! You will break the dish! Mom will be angry!" + +Tom did not listen.

It is just a frog. It cannot hurt you." Tim says. He smiles and holds the frog close to his face. + +The frog does not like Tim. It does not want to be held.

The elevator goes down and down. + +They get out of the elevator. They see their mom. She is waiting for them. She is worried. She hugs them. + +"Where have you been? I was looking for you!" she says. + +"We were playing with the elevator," Lily says. + +"We saw a new floor," Max says. + +Their mom is not happy. She is mad. She scolds them. + +"That was very naughty of you! You should not play with the elevator! You could get hurt or lost! And you should not bother the other people in the building! They do not like nosy kids!" + +Lily and Max are sorry. They say sorry to their mom. They say sorry to the man. They promise not to play with the elevator again. They learn their lesson. They go home. They play with their toys. They are good kids. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big axe that their dad gave them to chop wood. They also had a soft bear that they took with them everywhere. The bear was their best friend. + +One day, they saw a big tree that had many apples on it. They wanted to pick some apples for their mom. They used the axe to cut the tree, but it was very hard. They had to hit the tree many times. The bear watched them from the ground. + +The tree started to shake and make a loud noise. It was going to fall. Tom and Sam ran away, but they forgot the bear. The bear was scared and tried to follow them, but it was too late. The tree fell on the bear and tore it apart. The bear was gone. + +Tom and Sam heard the bear cry and turned around. They saw the tree and the bear. They were very sad and sorry. They wished they had not cut the tree. They wished they had not left the bear. They wished they had a new bear. But they could not have a new bear. The bear was their only friend. The end. +Lily and Will are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They think it is a creative thing to make a house with the box. + +They use scissors and tape to cut windows and a door. They draw flowers and stars on the walls. They put a blanket inside for a floor. They are happy with their house. + +They go inside and pretend to be a family. Lily is the mom and Will is the dad. They have a tea party with their stuffed animals. They use cups and plates from the kitchen. They have cookies and juice for their food. + +"Yum, these cookies are good," Lily says. She chews a bite. + +"Me too," Will says. He chews a bite too. But he chews too fast and too big. He starts to cough. + +"Are you okay, Will?" Lily asks. She is worried. + +Will nods. He drinks some juice. He stops coughing. He smiles. + +"I'm okay, Lily. I just chewed too much. Next time, I will chew slower and smaller." + +Lily hugs him. She is glad he is okay. + +They finish their tea party. They clean up their cups and plates. They say goodbye to their stuffed animals. They leave their house. + +They are proud of their creative house. They can't wait to play with it again. They are good friends. +Lily was very happy. She had an invitation to Ben's birthday party. She liked Ben. He was her friend from school. He was very organized. He always had his toys in the right place. + +Lily wanted to give Ben a nice present. She asked her mom to help her. They went to the store and looked at many things. Lily saw a big red ball. She thought Ben would like it. She asked her mom to buy it for him. + +The next day, Lily put on her best dress and went to the party with her mom. She saw Ben at the door. He was wearing a hat and a badge. He smiled when he saw Lily. + +"Hi, Lily! Thank you for coming to my party!" he said. + +"Hi, Ben! Happy birthday! I have a present for you!" Lily said. She gave him the big red ball. + +"Wow! This is awesome! Thank you, Lily! Do you want to play with me?" Ben said. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. She and Ben ran to the backyard. There were many games and balloons and cake. Lily and Ben had a lot of fun. They played catch with the ball, they ate cake, they sang songs. They were very happy. + +Lily and Ben stood together and hugged. They were very good friends. They said thank you to each other and to their moms. They said goodbye and promised to see each other soon. Lily and Ben had a wonderful party. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They looked for something to make his arms. + +"Look, Lily, I found a rod!" Tom said. He held up a long stick. "We can use this for his arm." + +"Good, Tom!" Lily said. She took the rod and stuck it in the snowman's side. "Now he has one arm. We need another one." + +They looked around for another rod, but they could not find one. They saw a hose by the house. It was icy and hard. + +"Maybe we can use this hose," Tom said. He pulled on the hose, but it did not move. "It is stuck. Help me, Lily." + +Lily helped Tom pull on the hose. They pulled and pulled, but it did not come out. They did not see that the other end of the hose was connected to a faucet. + +Suddenly, the faucet turned on. Water came out of the hose. It sprayed Tom and Lily and the snowman. + +"Ah, it is cold!" Tom shouted. He let go of the hose and ran away. + +"Stop, stop!" Lily cried. She tried to turn off the faucet, but she could not reach it. She ran after Tom. + +The water kept spraying. It washed away the snowman's hat and scarf and nose and eyes. It washed away the rod and the hose. It made a big puddle of water and ice. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They lost their snowman and their rod and their hose. They were wet and cold. + +"Let's go inside, Tom," Lily said. "We can get warm and dry. Maybe we can make another snowman later." + +"OK, Lily," Tom said. He hugged his sister. "I'm sorry we broke the hose." + +"It's OK, Tom," Lily said. "It was an accident. Maybe we can fix it later." + +They went inside the house. They took off their wet clothes and put on dry ones. They drank hot cocoa and ate cookies. They felt better. + +They still liked playing in the snow, but they learned to be careful with the hose. +Lily and Ben were on the same team for the ball game. They wanted to win, but they were fearful of the other team. The other team had big kids who could throw the ball very hard and fast. Lily and Ben had to catch the ball and throw it back, but they were scared of getting hurt. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Ben asked, holding the ball in his hand. + +"No, I'm not," Lily said, shaking her head. "They are too big and strong. They will throw the ball at us and make us cry." + +"Don't be afraid, Lily," Ben said. "We can do it. We are a team. We have to help each other and try our best. Maybe we can surprise them and win the game." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was brave. She wanted to be brave too. She nodded and said, "Okay, Ben. I will try. You throw the ball first and I will catch it." + +Ben smiled and threw the ball to Lily. She caught it and threw it back. They did this a few times, and they felt more confident. They saw that the other team was not paying attention to them. They were busy talking and laughing. + +"Hey, Lily, I have an idea," Ben whispered. "Let's throw the ball to the other team's leader. He is the biggest and meanest. Maybe we can make him drop the ball and lose a point." + +Lily liked the idea. She said, "Yes, let's do it. But we have to be quick and careful. He might get angry and throw the ball at us." + +Ben nodded and waited for the right moment. He saw that the leader was looking away. He threw the ball as hard as he could. The ball flew in the air and hit the leader on the head. He dropped the ball and shouted, "Ow!" + +Lily and Ben cheered. They had scored a point. The other team was shocked and confused. They looked at Lily and Ben and saw that they were not fearful anymore. They were smiling and proud. They had surprised them and won the game. +Sara likes to write. She writes her name, and the names of her friends, and the things she sees. She writes with crayons, and pencils, and markers. She writes on paper, and on the wall, and on her hand. + +One day, Sara sees a parade. She sees large trucks, and cars, and bikes. She sees people with hats, and flags, and drums.

Then she holds her teddy bear and says, "Look, this is a cup. You can drink water from it. Watch me." She takes a sip of water and makes a slurping sound. Then she gives the cup to her teddy bear and says, "Now you try. Be careful, don't spill it." + +But the teddy bear does not drink. He just holds the cup and stares at Anna. Anna thinks he is shy. She says, "Don't be scared. It's easy. Just open your mouth and tilt the cup. Like this." She shows him again how to drink. Then she says, "Come on, you can do it. I will help you." She puts her hand on the cup and tries to move it to the teddy bear's mouth. + +But the teddy bear does not want to drink. He pushes the cup away and makes a growling sound. He does not like water. He likes honey. He wants honey in his cup, not water. He is upset. He throws the cup on the floor and water splashes everywhere. Anna is upset too. She says, "Hey, that's not nice. You made a mess. Why did you do that?" She picks up the cup and wipes the water with a cloth. She is sad. She says, "I just wanted to teach you how to drink from a cup. I thought you would like it." + +The teddy bear feels sorry. He did not mean to make Anna sad. He likes Anna. She is his best friend. He hugs her and says, "I'm sorry. I don't like water. I like honey. Can we have honey in the cup?" Anna smiles. She says, "Okay, we can have honey. But only a little bit. And you have to be careful, don't spill it. Honey is sticky." She goes to the kitchen and gets some honey. She puts a little bit of honey in the cup and stirs it with a spoon. Then she gives the cup to the teddy bear and says, "Here you go. Try it. It's sweet and yummy." + +The teddy bear drinks the honey from the cup. He likes it. He makes a happy sound. He says, "Thank you. This is good. I like honey. You are a good teacher."

They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a small bucket and a shovel each. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Tom said, holding up his shovel. + +"Wow, Tom, it's so long and wiggly!" Lily said, leaning closer to see. + +They put the worm in the bucket and kept digging. They found more worms, some ants, and a shiny stone. + +Suddenly, they noticed a smell. It was like something burning. They looked around and saw a flame in the trash can. + +"Fire! Fire!" Tom shouted, dropping his shovel. + +"Help! Help!" Lily cried, running to the house. + +Mom and Dad heard them and came outside. They saw the flame and grabbed a hose. They sprayed water on the trash can until the flame was gone. + +"Are you okay, kids?" Mom asked, hugging Tom and Lily. + +"Yes, Mom, we're okay," Tom said. + +"What happened?" Dad asked. + +"We don't know, Dad. We were playing and we noticed the flame," Lily said. + +"Someone must have thrown something hot in the trash can. It was very dangerous. You did the right thing to call for help," Dad said. + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being patient and saving us," Tom said. + +"You're welcome, Tom and Lily. We love you very much. But next time, please stay away from the trash can. It's not a safe place to play," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. We're sorry," Lily said. + +They hugged Mom and Dad and went back to their bucket. They decided to play with their bugs and stone instead. They were happy and safe. +One day, a brown boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. He also liked to run and jump and laugh with his friends. + +"Tom, it's time to go home soon," his mom said. "You can play for five more minutes, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Tom said. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He saw his friend Lily waiting at the top. Lily had yellow hair and a pink dress. + +"Hi, Tom," Lily said. "Do you want to slide with me?" + +"Yes, please," Tom said. He sat next to Lily and they held hands. They were ready to slide down together. + +But then, Tom saw something on the ground. It was a shiny red ball. He liked shiny things. He wanted to play with the ball. + +"Wait, Lily," Tom said. He paused and let go of Lily's hand. "I want to get the ball." + +Lily was surprised. She did not want to slide alone. She wanted to slide with Tom. + +"Tom, don't go," Lily said. "The ball is not yours. Someone else left it here. Come back and slide with me." + +But Tom did not listen. He jumped off the slide and ran to the ball. He picked it up and threw it in the air. He caught it and threw it again. He smiled and giggled. + +Lily was sad. She slid down by herself. She did not smile or giggle. She felt lonely and angry. + +"Tom, you are not nice," Lily said. "You left me alone. You are not my friend anymore." + +Tom heard Lily's voice. He looked at her. He saw her face. She was crying. He felt sorry. He did not want to make Lily cry. He did not want to lose his friend. + +"Lily, I'm sorry," Tom said. He dropped the ball and ran to her. He hugged her and said, "You are my friend. I like you. I want to slide with you. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw his face. He was sorry. He wanted to be her friend. She felt happy. She hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. I like you too. I want to slide with you. Let's go." + +They held hands and ran to the slide. They climbed up the ladder and sat next to each other. They smiled and giggled. They slid down together. They had fun. + +"Tom, Lily, it's time to go home now," Tom's mom said. She came to the slide and smiled at them. "Did you have a good time?" + +"Yes, mom," Tom said. "We had a good time. We are friends." + +"Yes, mom," Lily said. "We are friends. We like to slide." + +They waved goodbye to each other and went home with their moms. They were happy. They learned to share and to say sorry. They were good friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but they have one toy they both love. It is a big, soft bear. They call it Brownie. + +One day, their mom and dad say they have to go to a hotel. They have to pack their bags and bring some things. Anna and Ben are excited. They want to see the hotel. They want to swim in the pool. They want to eat ice cream. + +But they have a problem. They both want to bring Brownie. Anna says, "Brownie is mine. I found him first. I want to bring him." Ben says, "No, Brownie is mine. I play with him more. I want to bring him." They start to pull and tug on Brownie. They make him rough. They make him sad. + +Their mom and dad hear them. They come to their room. They see Anna and Ben fighting over Brownie. They see Brownie's fur coming off. They see Brownie's eyes falling out. They are not happy. They say, "Stop! What are you doing? You are hurting Brownie. You are hurting each other. You are being selfish. You have to share. Sharing is caring. If you can't share, you can't bring Brownie. You have to leave him here." + +Anna and Ben stop. They look at Brownie. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We are sorry, Brownie. We don't want to hurt you. We love you. We will share you. We will take turns. We will be nice. Can we please bring Brownie?" + +Their mom and dad smile. They say, "That's better. We are glad you learned your lesson. You can bring Brownie. But you have to be gentle. You have to be kind. You have to be good. Can you do that?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They hug Brownie. They hug each other. They hug their mom and dad. They say, "Yes, we can. Thank you, mom and dad. Thank you, Brownie. We are ready to go to the hotel. We will have fun. We will share. We will be happy." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a delicate bowl that their grandma gave them. The bowl was shiny and had flowers on it. Lily and Ben liked to pretend it was a magic bowl that could make wishes come true. + +One night, Lily and Ben were getting ready for sleep. They brushed their teeth, put on their pajamas, and hugged their mom and dad. Then they went to their room, where they kept the delicate bowl on a shelf. + +"Can I hold the bowl for a bit?" Lily asked Ben. + +"No, it's my turn. You held it yesterday," Ben said. + +"But I want to make a wish. Please, Ben, let me have it," Lily said. + +"No, you always want the bowl. It's not fair," Ben said. + +They started to argue and tug on the bowl. They did not see that the shelf was wobbly and the bowl was slipping. Suddenly, the bowl fell to the floor and broke into pieces. Lily and Ben gasped and cried. + +They heard their mom and dad come running to their room. They saw the broken bowl and the sad twins. + +"What happened here?" their mom asked. + +"We were fighting over the bowl and it fell," Lily said. + +"We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, dad. We're sorry, grandma," Ben said. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "It's okay, sweeties. We know you loved the bowl, but it was just a thing. The most important thing is that you love each other and share. Fighting is not nice. Can you say sorry to each other?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said sorry to each other. They hugged and said they were still best friends. + +Their mom and dad smiled and said, "That's good. Now, let's clean up this mess and then you can go to sleep. Maybe you can dream of a new bowl that grandma can give you." + +Lily and Ben helped their mom and dad pick up the pieces of the bowl. They threw them in the trash and said goodbye to the bowl. Then they climbed into their beds and snuggled with their teddy bears. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of a new bowl that was even more shiny and had more flowers on it. They dreamed of making wishes with the bowl and sharing them with each other. They dreamed of being happy and kind. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with cars and trains. One day, they go with their dad to the factory. The factory makes big cars and trucks. + +Dad shows them how the workers measure the parts of the cars. They use long sticks and tapes. They have to be very careful. If the parts are too big or too small, the cars will not work well. + +"Can we measure something too?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, you can measure this wheel," Dad says. He gives them a small wheel and a tape. Lily and Ben take turns to measure the wheel. They compare their numbers. + +"Mine is 15," Lily says. + +"Mine is 16," Ben says. + +"That's close enough," Dad says. "You are good at measuring." + +Lily and Ben smile. They are proud of themselves. + +They see a shiny red car in the corner of the factory. It has a big sign that says "expensive". + +"What does expensive mean?" Ben asks. + +"It means it costs a lot of money," Dad says. "More money than we have." + +"Wow, it is so pretty," Lily says. "Can we touch it?" + +"No, we can't," Dad says. "It is not ours. It belongs to someone else. We have to be respectful." + +Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They look at the car from a distance. They wonder who will buy it and where it will go. They think it must be fun to drive it. But they are happy with their own cars and trains. They have more fun playing with them. +Tom loves to play with his toy train. He has a big engine and many cars. He likes to put the engine in front and make it go fast. He makes noises like "choo-choo" and "vroom-vroom". + +One day, he sees a real train at the station. He is very excited. He wants to see the engine up close. He runs to the gate and tries to open it. But it is locked. He sees a man in a blue hat. He is the train driver. + +"Hello, little boy," the train driver says. "Do you like trains?" + +"Yes, I do," Tom says. "Can I see your engine?" + +"Sure, you can," the train driver says. "But you have to be careful. The engine is very big and hot. It is not like your toy train. It can hurt you if you touch it." + +The train driver takes Tom by the hand and leads him to the engine. He shows him the wheels, the pipes, the whistle and the coal. Tom is amazed. He thinks the engine is very cool. + +"Can I put some coal in the fire?" Tom asks. + +"No, you can't," the train driver says. "That is my job. You can watch me do it. But you have to stay back. The fire is very hot and dangerous." + +The train driver puts some coal in the fire with a shovel. He makes the engine go faster. He blows the whistle. Tom covers his ears. He laughs. + +"Thank you for showing me your engine," Tom says. + +"You're welcome," the train driver says. "But now you have to go back to your mom. The train is leaving soon." + +Tom waves goodbye to the train driver. He runs back to his mom. He tells her what he saw and learned. He hugs his toy train. He thinks it is harmless and fun. He still loves to play with it. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big vine on the wall. It had many green leaves and purple flowers. + +"Let's climb the vine!" Tom said. He liked to go high and see far. + +"No, Tom, that's not safe!" Lily said. She was scared of falling and hurting herself. + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the vine and pulled himself up. He felt strong and brave. + +Lily watched him and felt sad. She wanted to play with him, but she did not want to climb the vine. She decided to call him. + +"Tom, Tom, come down!" she shouted. "The vine might break and you might fall!" + +Tom heard her, but he did not care. He wanted to reach the top of the wall. He climbed higher and higher. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud snap. The vine broke under his weight. He screamed and fell to the ground. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. He was crying and bleeding. He had a big cut on his arm. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry!" he sobbed. "I was silly and I did not listen to you. You were right, the vine was not safe." + +Lily kissed his cheek and said, "It's okay, Tom, it's okay. I'm glad you are not hurt more. Let's go inside and get a band-aid. And next time, let's play something else, okay?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He was happy that Lily was his friend. He decided to listen to her more. They held hands and walked inside. The vine was left on the ground, noisy with bees and birds. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, slide, swing and laugh. They are happy. + +One day, they see a purple ant on the grass. They are curious. They go closer to look at it. + +"Wow, a purple ant!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. I want to touch it." + +"Be careful, Lily," Ben says. "It might bite you. Ants are small, but they are strong." + +Lily does not listen. She reaches out her hand to the ant. The ant feels Lily's finger. It is scared. It bites Lily's finger. Lily screams. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cries. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +Ben runs to Lily. He hugs her. He tries to make her feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben says. "Are you okay?" + +Lily nods. She wipes her tears. She looks at the ant. The ant runs away. + +"Bye, purple ant," Lily says. "You are pretty, but you are mean. I will not touch you again." + +Lily and Ben go back to play. They are careful. They do not bother the ants. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a red bow on its neck. Anna and Ben want to pet the dog. + +"Hello, dog!" Anna says. "You are so pretty. Can we pet you?" + +The dog wags its tail and licks Anna's hand. Anna smiles and pets the dog's head. Ben does the same. + +"Can we give you a treat?" Ben asks. "We have some salt. Dogs like salt, right?" + +The dog barks and nods. Ben takes out a small bag of salt from his pocket. He opens it and pours some salt on his palm. He holds it out to the dog. + +"Here you go, dog. Eat some salt. It is yummy." + +The dog sniffs the salt and licks it. But the salt is too much. The dog makes a face and spits out the salt. The dog coughs and whines. The salt hurts the dog's mouth. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the dog says. "What did you do? Why did you give me salt? Salt is bad for dogs. Salt makes dogs sick. You are not nice. You are mean." + +The dog runs away from Ben and Anna. It looks angry and sad. Ben and Anna feel bad. They did not know salt was bad for dogs. They wanted to be nice. They wanted to make the dog happy. + +"I'm sorry, dog!" Ben says. "We did not know. We are sorry. Please come back. Please be our friend." + +But the dog does not come back. It goes to its owner. The owner is a lady. She sees the dog's bow and the salt on the ground. She sees Ben and Anna. + +"What happened here?" the lady asks. "Did you give my dog salt? Do you know how dangerous that is? Salt can make dogs very sick. You could have hurt my dog. You should never give salt to dogs. You should be more careful and kind." + +Ben and Anna look down. They feel ashamed. They did not mean to hurt the dog. They did not know the rules. They say sorry to the lady and the dog. + +"We are sorry, lady. We are sorry, dog. We did not know. We wanted to be nice. We wanted to be friends. We like your dog. We like its bow. We will never give salt to dogs again. We will learn the rules. We will be more careful and kind." + +The lady and the dog look at Ben and Anna. They see they are sorry. They see they are young. They see they want to learn. They forgive them. + +"It's okay, kids. I accept your sorry. I know you did not mean to hurt my dog. You made a mistake. But you can learn from it. You can be better. You can be good friends to my dog and other dogs. Just remember, salt is not for dogs. Dogs need water and food and love. And a nice bow." + +The lady smiles and pets her dog. The dog wags its tail and licks her hand. Then the dog goes to Ben and Anna. It licks their hands too. It forgives them. It wants to be their friend. + +Ben and Anna smile and pet the dog. They thank the lady and the dog. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be more careful and kind. They learned to love dogs. And they learned to love the dog's bow. +Lily and Tom were playing on the sand. They saw a big fish jump out of the water. It was shiny and blue. + +"Wow, look at that fish!" Tom said. "I want to eat it!" + +"No, Tom, you can't eat the fish!" Lily said. "The fish lives in the ocean. The ocean is its home. You have to be kind to the fish." + +"But I'm hungry!" Tom said. "And the fish looks yummy!" + +Tom ran to the water. He tried to catch the fish with his hands. But the fish was too fast and too smart. It swam away from Tom. Tom got wet and cold. He was confused. Why did the fish not want to be his food? + +Lily came to Tom. She gave him a hug. She had a sandwich in her hand. + +"Here, Tom, you can eat this sandwich," she said. "It is made of bread and cheese and ham. It is good for you. And it does not live in the ocean. It is not a fish." + +Tom took the sandwich. He bit into it. It was tasty and warm. He felt better. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are a good friend. I'm sorry I wanted to eat the fish. I learned my lesson. The fish is not my food. The fish is a living thing. I have to respect the fish and the ocean." + +Lily smiled. She was happy that Tom understood. They ate their sandwiches together. They watched the fish swim in the water. They were kind to the fish and the ocean. And the fish and the ocean were kind to them. +Lily and Max were friends. They liked to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they found a big cookie in the kitchen. It looked yummy and sweet. + +"Let's share the cookie," Lily said. She broke the cookie in half and gave one piece to Max. + +But Max was not happy. He looked at the cookie and said, "This is not fair. Your piece is bigger than mine. I want your piece." + +Lily was surprised. She thought they were both the same. She said, "No, Max. This is my piece. You have your piece. They are both good." + +Max and Lily disagreed. They started to argue and shout. They did not want to share the cookie. They wanted the whole cookie for themselves. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the cookie and the angry faces. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a cookie?" + +Lily and Max told Mom their stories. They both said they deserved the bigger piece. They both said the other one was wrong. + +Mom looked at them and said, "You are both being silly and greedy. A cookie is just a cookie. It does not matter who has the bigger piece. What matters is that you are friends and you are honest. Honesty is when you tell the truth and do not lie. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt ashamed. They knew Mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share the cookie and enjoy it together. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now you can have some milk too.

She wanted to add more details to make it look more real. + +She asked her mom for help. "Mom, can you help me improve my drawing?" she said, showing her the paper. Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Sara. What do you want to improve?" Sara said, "I want to make the spider more organized. It has eyes and a mouth and patterns on its body, right?" Her mom said, "Yes, it does. Let me show you how to draw them." + +Her mom took another crayon and helped Sara draw two small dots for the eyes, a tiny line for the mouth, and some stripes and spots for the patterns.

He said, "Okay, Sara, I will go with you. But you have to hold my hand and stay close to me." + +Sara smiled and said, "Deal!" She took Ben's hand and led him to the tent. They paid the ticket and entered the tent. It was dark and quiet inside. They saw a stage with a curtain and a big box. On the box, there was a veil that covered something. + +Sara and Ben walked slowly to the front row. They sat on the chairs and waited for the show to start. They heard a voice that said, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the magic show! I am the great magician, and I will show you some amazing tricks. For my first trick, I will make something disappear under this veil. Are you ready?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They were excited and nervous.
