He gave her some and helped her plant them in her garden. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your flowers will grow back soon. And I will help you take care of them. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Ben. Thank you for being nice to me and my flowers. You are my friend." She gave him a hug and they played together. She felt happy and not shy anymore.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They saw a hole under the fence. "What is in there?" Lily asked. "Let's find out," Ben said. They crawled under the fence and into the woods.
+
+They walked and walked until they saw a big tree. Under the tree, there was a furry animal. It had a long tail and pointy ears. It was a fox. The fox was sleeping. "Wow, look at that!" Ben whispered. "Can we touch it?" Lily wondered.
+
+They crept closer to the fox. They wanted to feel its soft fur. Ben reached out his hand and touched the fox's tail. The fox did not wake up. Lily reached out her hand and touched the fox's ear. The fox did not wake up. They smiled at each other. They liked the fox.
+
+They decided to hug the fox. They wrapped their arms around the fox's body. They squeezed the fox tight. They wanted to be friends with the fox. The fox did not like that. The fox woke up. The fox was angry. The fox bit them. "Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Ben cried. They let go of the fox. They ran away from the fox. They ran back to the fence. They crawled under the fence and into the garden.
+
+They were hurt and scared. They ran to their mom. They told her what happened. She hugged them and kissed them. She put bandages on their bites. She told them not to touch wild animals. She told them to be careful in the woods. She told them to love animals from afar. They learned their lesson. They never squeezed a fox again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with their bikes in the park. Anna has a red bike and Ben has a blue bike. They ride fast and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big hill in the park. Anna wants to go up the hill. She says to Ben, "Let's go up the hill. It will be fun." Ben is not sure. He says, "The hill is too high. I am scared." Anna says, "Don't be scared. I will help you. Come on."
+
+They start to go up the hill. Anna pushes hard on her pedals. She goes fast. Ben tries to follow her. He pushes hard on his pedals too. But he goes slow. He is tired. He wants to stop.
+
+Anna looks back. She sees Ben behind her. She says, "Ben, hurry up. We are almost there." Ben says, "Anna, wait for me. I can't go fast." Anna says, "You can do it. Just push harder."
+
+Ben pushes harder. But he loses his balance. He falls off his bike. He hurts his knee. He cries. Anna hears him. She stops. She turns around. She sees Ben on the ground. She feels sorry. She says, "Ben, are you okay? I am sorry. I did not mean to make you fall."
+
+She runs to him. She helps him get up. She hugs him. She says, "I am sorry, Ben. I was wrong. The hill was too high. You were right. I should have listened to you." Ben says, "It's okay, Anna. I am not mad. You are my friend. But my knee hurts. Can you help me get my bike?"
+
+Anna says, "Of course, Ben. I will help you. Come on." She goes to get his bike. She squeezes the brakes. She brings the bike to Ben. She says, "Here is your bike, Ben. Let's go back to the park. We can play there. We can have fun." Ben says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. Let's go back to the park. We can have fun." They smile. They hold hands. They walk back to the park. They are happy.
+Sara and Tom were bored. They had no toys to play with. Their room was empty. They looked out the window. They saw a big hill. It had many trees and flowers. They wanted to go there.
+
+"Let's go to the hill," Sara said.
+
+"But Mom said we can't go outside," Tom said.
+
+"Mom is busy. She won't see us. Come on, it will be fun," Sara said.
+
+She dared Tom to go with her. Tom was scared, but he did not want to look silly. He followed Sara. They put on their shoes and coats. They sneaked out of the door.
+
+They ran to the hill. They felt the wind and the sun. They smelled the grass and the flowers. They heard the birds and the bugs. They were happy. They climbed to the top of the hill. They saw a beautiful view. They saw the sky and the clouds. They saw the houses and the cars. They saw the river and the bridge. They saw a lot of things.
+
+They smiled at each other. They forgot about Mom. They forgot about their empty room. They only saw the view. They did not see the big dog. It came from behind a tree. It barked and growled. It ran towards them. It was angry.
+
+Sara and Tom were scared. They screamed. They ran down the hill. They did not look at the view. They only looked at the dog. It chased them. It was fast. They reached the door. They opened it. They slammed it. They locked it. They were safe.
+
+They hugged each other. They cried. They were sorry. They wished they had not gone to the hill. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had stayed in their empty room. They learned their lesson. They did not dare to go outside again.
+Anna liked to collect things. She had a big box full of things she found on the street. She had rocks, leaves, feathers, buttons, and more. She liked to look at them and make stories about them.
+
+One day, she went out with her mom to the store. She saw a shiny coin on the street. She wanted to collect it. She ran to get it, but she did not look for cars. The street was busy and loud.
+
+"Anna, stop!" her mom shouted. She grabbed her hand and pulled her back. A big car zoomed by, honking its horn. Anna was scared and cried. Her mom hugged her and said, "You have to be careful, Anna. The street is not a safe place to collect things. You could get hurt by the cars. You have to look both ways and hold my hand when you cross the street."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted the coin. It was shiny and pretty."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I know, Anna. But you have more important things to collect than coins. You have to collect hugs and kisses and love from your family and friends. Those are the best things to collect. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Anna. Now, let's go to the store and get some ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna said, "That sounds great, mom. Can I have chocolate?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Anna. You can have chocolate. You deserve it."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They think it is a stage. They want to perform a show for their moms.
+
+They climb on the box and wear funny hats. Tom pretends to be a lion. He roars and jumps. Mia pretends to be a bird. She flaps and sings. They make their moms laugh.
+
+But then, a big wind comes. It blows the box away. Tom and Mia fall off. They are not hurt, but they are scared. They see the box fly to the roof of the house. They wonder how to get it back.
+
+Their moms hug them and say it is okay. They say they can make a new stage with another box. They say they are proud of Tom and Mia for being brave and creative. They say they loved their show.
+
+Tom and Mia smile. They are happy. They still want to perform. They ask their moms to help them find another box. They say they have more funny hats to wear. They say they have more stories to tell.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set that their dad had given them as a present. They liked to make the train go around the tracks and make noises like "choo-choo" and "beep-beep".
+
+But soon, they felt very tired. Their mom came and said, "It's time for your nap, my sweeties. You need to rest your eyes and your bodies. Come on, let's go to your beds."
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to nap. They wanted to play more with their train. They said, "No, mom, no nap. We want to play. Please, mom, please."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I know you love your train, but you can play with it later. Napping is good for you. It will make you feel better and happier. And guess what? I have a surprise for you when you wake up. A special present just for you."
+
+Lily and Ben were curious. They liked surprises and presents. They asked, "What is it, mom? What is the present?"
+
+Their mom said, "It's a secret. You have to nap first and then you will see. Trust me, you will like it very much. Now, give me a hug and a kiss and go to your beds. I love you."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and kissed their mom and went to their beds. They were still a little sad to leave their train, but they were also excited about the present. They closed their eyes and fell asleep.
+
+When they woke up, they saw their mom waiting for them with a big smile. She said, "Hello, my darlings. Did you have a good nap?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and rubbed their eyes. They felt refreshed and happy. They said, "Yes, mom, we had a good nap. Thank you, mom."
+
+Their mom said, "You're welcome, my loves. And now, are you ready for your surprise?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, mom, yes. What is it, mom? What is the present?"
+
+Their mom said, "Follow me and you will see." She led them to the living room, where they saw a big box wrapped in colorful paper and a bow. Their mom said, "This is for you. A present from your grandma and grandpa. They sent it to you because they miss you and they love you. Go ahead, open it."
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the box and tore the paper. They gasped when they saw what was inside. It was a beautiful dollhouse for Lily and a cool fire truck for Ben. They were the toys they had always wanted. They were so happy and grateful. They said, "Wow, mom, wow. Thank you, mom. Thank you, grandma and grandpa. We love you. We love our present."
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I'm so glad you like your present. You deserve it. You are such good and wonderful children. Now, why don't you play with your new toys and your train? And later, we can call grandma and grandpa and say thank you to them too."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, mom, yes. We want to play. We want to call. We are so happy, mom. We are so glad."
+
+They played with their new toys and their train. They had so much fun. They felt loved and lucky. They had a great day.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with clay. They have many colors of clay. They can make animals, cars, flowers and more.
+
+One day, they find a big ball of white clay. They want to make something new. They have an idea. They can split the clay and make snowmen.
+
+"Let's split the clay in half," Tom says. "You take one half and I take the other half."
+
+"OK," Lily says. "But we need more things to make snowmen. We need eyes, noses, mouths and hats."
+
+They look around the room. They see buttons, carrots, raisins and wool. They can use them to make snowmen.
+
+They start to make their snowmen. They roll the clay into balls. They make one big ball and one small ball. They put the small ball on top of the big ball. They make two snowmen like this.
+
+They use buttons for eyes, carrots for noses, raisins for mouths and wool for hats. They make their snowmen look happy and funny.
+
+They are very proud of their snowmen. They show them to their mom.
+
+"Look, mom, we made snowmen with clay," Tom says.
+
+"They are very nice, my loves," mom says. "You are very creative."
+
+She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"Can we keep them?" Lily asks.
+
+"Of course, you can," mom says. "But you have to be careful. Clay can dry and break. You don't want to waste your snowmen."
+
+"No, we don't," Tom and Lily say. "We will keep them in a smooth box. We will keep them safe and warm."
+
+They find a smooth box. They put their snowmen in the box. They close the box. They put the box on the shelf.
+
+They smile at each other. They are happy. They love their snowmen. They love their clay. They love their mom.
+Anna and Ben are hungry. They want to eat something. They go to the kitchen and look at the refrigerator. The refrigerator is big and white. It has many things inside.
+
+Anna points to the refrigerator and says, "I want a cookie. Cookies are yummy. Can we have a cookie, Ben?"
+
+Ben shakes his head and says, "No, Anna. Cookies are not good for us. They have too much sugar. Sugar makes us sick. We should eat something healthy, like a carrot or an apple."
+
+Anna makes a face and says, "I don't like carrots or apples. They are boring. Cookies are fun. They are sweet and crunchy. You are stupid, Ben. You don't know anything."
+
+Ben gets angry and says, "I am not stupid, Anna. You are stupid. You don't listen to me. You are a baby. You always want cookies. Cookies are bad for you. You will get a tummy ache."
+
+Anna and Ben start to yell at each other. They call each other stupid and baby. They are very loud. They do not hear their mom coming.
+
+Mom enters the kitchen and sees Anna and Ben fighting. She is not happy. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you two shouting? Why are you being rude to each other?"
+
+Anna and Ben stop yelling and look at their mom. They are scared. They know they are in trouble. They do not say anything.
+
+Mom says, "You two should be nice to each other. You are brother and sister. You should share and help each other. You should not call each other stupid or baby. That is not nice. That hurts feelings. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod their heads and say, "Yes, mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will be nice to each other."
+
+Mom says, "Good. Now, how about we have a snack? You can have one cookie each, and also a carrot or an apple. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and Ben smile and say, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom."
+
+Mom hugs Anna and Ben and says, "I love you too, my sweeties. Now, let's go to the refrigerator and get our snack."
+Tom and Lily were having lunch with Mom and Dad. They liked to eat cheese and bread and grapes. Mom gave them each a plate with some food on it. Tom wanted more grapes, but Lily had more grapes than him. He felt angry and wanted to take some of her grapes.
+
+"Can I have some of your grapes, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, they are mine. You have enough," Lily said.
+
+Tom did not listen. He reached out his hand and tried to grab some of her grapes. Lily saw him and moved her plate away. Tom did not give up. He pulled hard on her plate and tried to take it from her.
+
+"Hey, stop it! That's my plate!" Lily shouted.
+
+But Tom pulled too hard. The plate slipped from his and Lily's hands and flew in the air. It landed on the floor and broke into pieces. The cheese and bread and grapes scattered everywhere. Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to see what happened.
+
+"Oh no, what did you do?" Mom asked.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the broken plate and the mess. They felt sorry and scared. They knew they were in trouble.
+
+"We were fighting over the grapes," Tom said.
+
+"That was not nice. And look what you did to the plate. It was a gift from Grandma. She will be very sad when she finds out," Dad said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt even more sorry. They loved Grandma and did not want to make her sad. They wished they had not been so crazy and greedy.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We are sorry, Grandma. Can we fix the plate?" Tom and Lily asked.
+
+Mom and Dad shook their heads.
+
+"No, you can't fix the plate. It is broken for good. You have to learn to share and be careful with your things. And you have to help us clean up this mess," Mom and Dad said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said sorry again and helped Mom and Dad pick up the cheese and bread and grapes. They hoped Grandma would forgive them and still love them. They learned their lesson and decided to be nicer to each other.
+Ben was a painter. He liked to make pictures with colors on paper. He had many colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. He could mix them and make new colors. He was very good at painting.
+
+One day, Ben was restless. He wanted to paint something new, but he did not know what. He looked around his room, but he did not see anything interesting. He felt bored and unhappy.
+
+He went to his mom and said, "Mom, I want to paint something new, but I don't know what. Can you help me?"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Why don't you paint something you care about? Something that makes you happy or sad or angry or scared. Something that is important to you."
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He cared about many things. He cared about his mom and dad, his sister and brother, his dog and cat, his friends and toys. He cared about the sun and the moon, the stars and the clouds, the trees and the flowers, the birds and the bees. He cared about his dreams and his fears, his hopes and his wishes, his joys and his sorrows.
+
+He said, "Thank you, mom. I have an idea. I will paint something I care about."
+
+He ran back to his room and took out his paper and colors. He started to paint. He painted his family and his pets, his friends and his toys. He painted the sky and the earth, the day and the night. He painted his feelings and his thoughts, his memories and his fantasies.
+
+He painted for a long time. He used all his colors and filled his paper with his pictures. He was not restless anymore. He was happy and proud.
+
+He showed his painting to his mom and said, "Look, mom. This is what I care about. This is my painting."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "It is beautiful, Ben. You are a wonderful painter. I care about you very much."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big pond with many boats. Some boats are small and some boats are big.
+
+"Look, Ben, that is a yacht!" Lily says. She points to a big white boat with a tall flag. "It is so brilliant. It shines in the sun."
+
+"What is a yacht?" Ben asks. He does not know this word.
+
+"A yacht is a big boat that can go very fast and far. You can sleep and eat and play on a yacht. My dad told me. He studies yachts. He is a yacht engineer." Lily says. She is proud of her dad.
+
+"Wow, that is cool. I want to study yachts too. How do you study yachts?" Ben says. He is curious.
+
+"You have to read books and watch videos and draw pictures and ask questions. You have to learn many things about yachts. Like how they float and move and steer and stop. And what they have inside and outside. And how to fix them if they break." Lily says. She knows a lot about yachts.
+
+"That sounds hard. But also fun. Can I study yachts with you?" Ben says. He likes to learn new things.
+
+"Sure, you can. We can be yacht engineers together. Come on, let's go to the library and find some books about yachts." Lily says. She takes Ben's hand and they run to their moms.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the library and study yachts?" they ask together.
+
+Their moms smile and nod. They are happy that their children are interested in yachts. They think yachts are brilliant too.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play at the gym. The gym has many toys and mats and balls. Lily and Sam like to jump and roll and bounce.
+

+Anna liked to play with her big brother's computer. She liked to press the buttons and watch the pictures on the screen. But her brother did not like it when she touched his computer. He said it was delicate and she could break it.
+
+One day, when her brother was at school, Anna sneaked into his room and turned on his computer. She saw a game with animals and colors. She wanted to play it. She clicked on the mouse and moved it around. She heard a funny sound and saw a giraffe on the screen. She smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+But then she heard the door open. It was her brother. He came back early from school. He saw Anna playing with his computer. He was angry. He shouted at her.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing? Get away from my computer! You are not allowed to touch it! You could ruin it!"
+
+Anna was scared. She dropped the mouse and ran away. She hid under her bed. She felt sad and sorry.
+
+Her brother went to his computer and checked it. He saw that Anna had not done any damage. He felt a little bad for yelling at her. He remembered that she was only a little girl and she did not know better. He decided to teach her how to play with his computer safely.
+
+He went to her room and looked for her. He saw her under the bed. He knelt down and spoke to her softly.
+
+"Anna, come out. I'm not mad at you anymore. I want to show you something."
+
+Anna peeked out from under the bed. She saw her brother smiling. She crawled out and hugged him. He hugged her back.
+
+"Anna, I'm sorry I shouted at you. I know you like my computer, but you have to be careful with it. It is delicate and it can break easily. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, too. I just wanted to play with the animals and colors. They are pretty."
+
+Her brother smiled. He said, "I know. They are pretty. And they are fun. Do you want to play with them with me?"
+
+Anna nodded again. She said, "Yes, please."
+
+Her brother took her hand and led her to his room. He showed her how to use the mouse and the keyboard. He taught her how to play the game with the animals and colors. He also taught her how to tie the cord of the mouse to the computer, so it would not get tangled or pulled. He said, "This is how you tie the cord. You make a loop and pull it through. Then you do it again. See? It is easy."
+
+Anna watched and learned. She tried to tie the cord herself. She made a loop and pulled it through. Then she did it again. She said, "Look, I did it! I tied the cord!"
+
+Her brother clapped and praised her. He said, "Good job, Anna! You are very smart. You tied the cord very well. Now you can play with my computer anytime, as long as you ask me first and be gentle with it. OK?"
+
+Anna nodded and smiled. She said, "OK. Thank you, brother. You are very nice. I love you."
+
+Her brother hugged her and said, "I love you, too, Anna. You are my best sister. Now let's play some more."
+Tommy loves his dog, Max. Max is a big, brown dog with a wagging tail and a wet nose. Tommy likes to play with Max in the park, and throw a ball for him to catch. Sometimes, Max finds a bone in the grass and chews on it happily.
+
+One day, Tommy and Max went to the park with Mommy. They saw a lot of other dogs and people there. Tommy threw the ball for Max, and Max ran after it. But then, a mean dog came and tried to take the ball from Max. The mean dog barked and growled and showed his teeth. Max was scared and ran away.
+
+"Max, come back!" Tommy shouted. He was worried about his dog. He looked around, but he could not see Max. He felt sad and started to cry. Mommy hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tommy. We will find Max. He is a smart dog. He will come back to us."
+
+They walked around the park, calling Max's name. They asked other people and dogs if they had seen Max, but no one had. Tommy felt more and more sad. He missed his dog.
+
+Then, he heard a familiar sound. It was Max's bark. He looked up and saw Max running towards him. Max had the ball in his mouth, and a bone in his other mouth. He had found a nice dog who had shared his bone with him. Max was happy and proud.
+
+"Max!" Tommy shouted. He ran to his dog and hugged him. Max licked his face and wagged his tail. He gave Tommy the ball and the bone. Tommy smiled and said, "Thank you, Max. You are incredible. You are the best dog ever."
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "You are right, Tommy. Max is incredible. And so are you. You are a good boy and a good friend to Max. I love you both."
+
+They hugged and kissed and went home. Tommy and Max played with the ball and the bone. They were happy. They were a family.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. But today, the sky is gray and there is rain. They cannot go out.
+
+"Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day," Tom sings. He looks out the window and sees a big puddle.
+
+"Look, Lily, a puddle! Can we jump in it?" he asks.
+
+Lily shakes her head. "No, Tom, we cannot. Mom said we have to stay inside. We can get wet and sick."
+
+Tom makes a sad face. He wants to have fun.
+
+"Let's talk, Tom. What do you want to talk about?" Lily says. She wants to cheer him up.
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He likes to talk about many things.
+
+"I want to talk about the sun. The sun is bright and warm. It makes the flowers grow and the birds sing. When the sun comes out, we can play again," he says.
+
+Lily smiles. She likes the sun too.
+
+"Yes, Tom, the sun is nice. I hope it comes out soon. But we can still have fun inside. We can read books, draw pictures, play games, and sing songs. We can do many things," she says.
+
+Tom nods. He likes those things too.
+
+"Okay, Lily, let's do that. But first, let's talk some more. I like to talk to you. You are my friend," he says.
+
+Lily hugs him. She likes to talk to him too.
+
+"You are my friend too, Tom. We can talk about anything. Rain or sun, we can have fun," she says.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe there is a treasure," Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe there is a monster," Tom said.
+
+They went closer to the hole. They heard a noise. It sounded like a growl.
+
+"Hello, is anyone there?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I am here," a voice said. "Who are you?"
+
+They saw a furry face with big eyes and sharp teeth. It was a monster!
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They wanted to run away.
+
+"Please don't be afraid," the monster said. "I am not mean. I am lonely. I live in this tree. No one wants to be my friend."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry for the monster. They did not want him to be sad.
+
+"Why don't you come out and play with us?" Lily asked.
+
+"Really? You want to play with me?" the monster asked.
+
+"Yes, we do," Tom said. "You look nice. What is your name?"
+
+The monster smiled. He came out of the hole. He was big and fluffy.
+
+"My name is Max," he said. "Thank you for being generous. You are the first friends I ever had."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged Max. They played with him in the park. They had fun. They learned that Max was kind and funny. They did not judge him by his looks. They shrugged when other people stared at them. They were happy.
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big bucket in the garden. She wondered what was inside. She ran to the bucket and looked in. She saw some water and some frogs.
+
+"Hello, frogs!" she said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The frogs did not answer. They just jumped and splashed. Lily thought they were funny. She reached out her hand to touch one. But the frog was too fast. It jumped out of the bucket and landed on Lily's head.
+
+"Ah!" Lily screamed. She felt something wet and slimy on her hair. She ran back to the house, crying.
+
+"Mama, mama, help!" she shouted. "There is a frog on my head!"
+
+Mama heard Lily and came out. She saw the frog on Lily's head and laughed. She took the frog gently and put it back in the bucket.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily," she said. "The frog won't hurt you. It was just curious too. But next time, be careful when you look in buckets. You never know what you might find."
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to draw with crayons on paper. One day, they find a big roll of paper in the art room. They want to make a very big picture.
+
+"Let's draw a tall house with many windows and a door," says Ben.
+
+"OK, and let's draw a garden with flowers and trees," says Mia.
+
+They unroll the paper on the floor and start to draw. They use many colors and shapes. They have fun.
+
+But then, the paper starts to roll back. It is too heavy and slippery. Ben and Mia try to hold it, but they cannot.
+
+"Help, help!" they shout.
+
+Miss Lee, their teacher, hears them. She comes to the art room. She sees the big roll of paper and the children.
+
+"What are you doing, Ben and Mia?" she asks.
+
+"We are drawing a tall house and a garden, but the paper is rolling away," they say.
+
+Miss Lee smiles. She has an idea.
+
+"Let me help you. We can use some tape to stick the paper to the wall. Then it will not roll away. And you can draw your picture on the wall. It will be like a mural," she says.
+
+"Wow, that sounds fun!" say Ben and Mia.
+
+Miss Lee helps them to tape the paper to the wall. She gives them some more crayons. She supports them with their drawing.

+
+"Look at our stack!" Ben says. "It is the best stack ever!"
+
+Mia nods. She likes the stack too. She wants to make it even taller. She picks up a rough block. It is brown and has bumps on it. She puts it on top of the stack.
+
+But the rough block is too heavy. It makes the stack wobble and fall. The blocks crash on the floor. They make a loud noise.
+
+"Stop!" Ben shouts. "You made our stack fall!"
+
+Mia feels sad. She did not mean to make the stack fall. She looks at the blocks on the floor. They are not a stack anymore. They are a mess.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Mia says. "I wanted to make the stack taller. I did not know the rough block would make it fall."
+
+Ben looks at Mia. He sees that she is sorry. He is not angry anymore. He knows that Mia likes to play with blocks too.
+
+"It's okay, Mia," Ben says. "We can make another stack. But this time, let's not use the rough block. Let's use the smooth blocks. They are easier to stack."
+
+Mia smiles. She likes the smooth blocks too. They are soft and shiny. She picks up a smooth block. It is pink and has sparkles on it. She gives it to Ben.
+
+"Here, Ben," Mia says. "You can put this block on the stack. It is very pretty."

+
+"Can I pet a goat, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be gentle and careful. Some goats might bite," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben walked to the fence where the goats were. They saw a big goat, a small goat, and a baby goat. The big goat had a bell around its neck. The small goat had a red ribbon on its ear. The baby goat had no decorations.

+Lily said, "It was his fault. He did not share with me. He was mean."
+
+Ben said, "It was her fault. She tried to take my crayon. She was greedy."
+
+Miss Lee said, "You both made a mistake. You did not respect each other. You did not use your words. You did not listen. You need to say sorry and make up."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry" and hugged. They said, "We are friends again."
+
+Miss Lee said, "That is good. I am proud of you. You are reliable pupils. You can quit fighting and start sharing. Here, I have another gold crayon for you. You can use it together and make a beautiful picture."

+
+"No, thank you, Lily," Ben said, shaking his head. "Sharks are animals, not colors. They belong in my animal pile, not your red pile. You are sorting your toys wrong."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not like Ben telling her what to do. She thought her way of sorting was fun and creative. She did not want to give up her red shark. She was curious about it. She wanted to see how it could swim and bite.
+
+"Well, I think sharks are colors, too," Lily said, sticking out her tongue. "And I think your animal pile is boring. All your animals are brown or gray or black. They are not pretty or fast like my red shark. You are playing with your toys wrong."
+
+Ben and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and pulled their toys away from each other. They did not want to share or listen. They wanted to sort their toys their own way.
+
+Their mom heard them and came into the living room. She saw the mess of toys and the angry faces of Ben and Lily. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what is going on here?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips. "Why are you fighting over your toys? You have plenty of toys to play with. You should be nice and kind to each other. You should respect each other's choices. There is no right or wrong way to sort your toys. You can sort them by what they are, or by how they look, or by any other way you like. The important thing is to have fun and learn and be friends."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at their mom. They felt sorry for being mean and loud. They realized they were being silly and stubborn. They decided to apologize and make up.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Lily said, giving him a hug. "You can have your animal pile. I like your animals, too. They are cute and soft and smart."
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Ben said, giving her a hug back. "You can have your red shark. I like your colors, too. They are bright and cheerful and cool."
+
+"Thank you, Ben and Lily," their mom said, smiling. "I'm glad you are sorry and happy. Now, why don't you play together and share your toys? Maybe you can teach each other something new. Maybe you can find a new way to sort your toys. Maybe you can make a story with your toys. What do you think?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They liked their mom's idea. They decided to play together and share their toys. They decided to sort their toys by what they could do. They had a pile of toys that could fly, a pile of toys that could swim, and a pile of toys that could build. They decided to make a story with their toys. They decided to make a story about a curious red shark that wanted to fly with the birds, swim with the fish, and build with the blocks. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot of things. They were happy and friends.

+
+"My cake is better!" Ben says. "It has more colors and more sprinkles. It looks tasty!"
+
+"No, my cake is better!" Mia says. "It has candles and it is bigger. It looks tasty!"
+
+They cannot agree. They ask their mom to be the judge. Their mom looks at both pictures. She smiles and says, "You both did a great job. Your cakes are very pretty and creative. But you know what? The best way to judge a cake is by tasting it. Why don't we go to the kitchen and bake a real cake together? Then we can all share it and have a victory party!"
+
+Ben and Mia like this idea. They stop arguing and hug each other. They follow their mom to the kitchen and help her make a real cake. They mix, pour, bake, and decorate. They make a cake that has chocolate and vanilla, pink and blue, sprinkles and candles. It looks like a rainbow. It smells good. It tastes good. They all eat a big slice and say, "Yum!"

+"Hi, Sara, you look like your mom," a third one said.
+
+Sara felt shy and waved at the people. She said hello in a small voice.
+
+"Thank you for being so good, Sara. I'm almost done with my meeting. Do you want to sit with me for a while?" mom asked.
+
+Sara nodded and climbed on mom's lap. She hugged mom and kissed her cheek.
+
+"I love you, mom. You are the best," Sara said.
+
+"I love you too, Sara. You are the best," mom said.
+
+They smiled at each other and watched the screen. Sara felt happy and proud of her mom. She was a big girl who liked to help her mom.
+Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they wanted to play with the same one. It was a red car that made noises and lights. Lily grabbed the car first, but Max pulled it from her. They started to fight and shout.
+
+"Mine!" Lily said.
+
+"No, mine!" Max said.
+
+They did not hear their mom coming. She was angry. She saw the car on the floor and the children crying. She took the car and put it on a high shelf. She said they had to share and be nice, or they would be punished. She said they could not play with the car for the rest of the day.
+
+Lily and Max felt sad and sorry. They did not want to be punished. They wanted to play with the car. They said they were sorry to their mom and to each other. They hugged and said they would share and be nice.
+
+Their mom smiled and said she was glad they learned their lesson. She said they could have some juice and a cookie as a treat. She poured them some juice in their cups and gave them each a cookie. They drank and ate and felt happy. They thanked their mom and said they loved her. They decided to play with another toy that they both liked. It was a puzzle with animals. They had fun and did not fight anymore.
+Lily was a girl who liked to help. She helped her mom with the dishes, she helped her dad with the garden, and she helped her brother with his toys. She was a good helper.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big box in the living room. It was heavy and had a picture of a bike on it. Lily wanted to help her dad open the box and build the bike. She thought it was a surprise for her brother.
+
+She went to the box and tried to lift it. But it was too heavy for her. She could not move it at all. She tried to push it, but it did not budge. She tried to pull it, but it did not slide. She felt sad and frustrated.
+
+She called her dad and said, "Dad, can you help me? I want to help you with the box, but it is too heavy for me."
+
+Her dad came and smiled. He said, "Lily, you are a very good helper, but this box is not for you to help with. It is a surprise for you. It is your new bike. I was going to build it for you and give it to you tomorrow."
+
+Lily was surprised and happy. She hugged her dad and said, "Thank you, dad. You are the best. Can I help you build my bike?"
+
+Her dad said, "Of course, you can. You are my little helper. Let's open the box and see what's inside."
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a pink doll that she loved very much. Ben had a blue car that he liked to zoom around. They were having fun until Ben wanted to play with Sara's doll.
+
+"Give me your doll, Sara. I want to see it," Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben. This is my doll. You have your car. Go play with your car," Sara said.
+
+"But I'm bored of my car. Your doll is so pretty and pink. Let me have it for a little while," Ben said.
+
+He tried to grab the doll from Sara, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the doll, making it cry.
+
+"Stop it, Ben. You're hurting my doll. She's crying. You're a bad boy," Sara said.
+
+She pushed Ben away and hugged her doll. Ben fell on the floor and hit his head. He started to cry too.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara with her doll and Ben with a bump on his head.
+
+"What happened here? Why are you crying, Ben? Why are you fighting, Sara?" Mom asked.
+
+"Ben wanted my doll and he tried to take it from me. He was mean to me and my doll. He made us cry," Sara said.
+
+"Is that true, Ben? Did you try to take Sara's doll?" Mom asked.
+
+Ben nodded and sniffed. He felt sorry for what he did.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Sara. I just wanted to play with the doll. She's so pink and pretty. I don't have a doll. I only have a car. I'm poor," Ben said.
+
+Mom felt sad for Ben. She knew he didn't have many toys. She also felt proud of Sara for standing up for herself and her doll.
+
+"You're not poor, Ben. You have a car and you have a mom who loves you. And you have a sister who loves you too, right, Sara?" Mom said.
+
+Sara looked at Ben and saw his tears and his bump. She felt sorry for him too.
+
+"Yes, Mom. I love Ben. He's my brother. I'm sorry I pushed him. He can play with my doll if he wants. But he has to be gentle and nice. And he has to yield it back to me when I ask," Sara said.
+
+She gave Ben a smile and handed him her doll. Ben smiled back and took the doll. He hugged it and said thank you.
+
+"Thank you, Sara. You're a good sister. I'll be gentle and nice. And I'll yield it back to you when you ask," Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them both. She was happy to see them share and make up.
+
+"That's very kind of you, Sara. And that's very polite of you, Ben. I'm proud of you both. You're good kids. Now, why don't you play together nicely with your toys? And maybe later we can go to the park and have some ice cream. How does that sound?" Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and cheered. They liked the idea of going to the park and having ice cream. They also liked playing together with their toys. They decided to take turns with the doll and the car. They had fun and they didn't fight anymore. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the clock best. The clock had a big face, two hands and many numbers. They could move the hands and make the clock say different times.
+
+"Look, Lily, it is time for lunch!" Ben said, moving the big hand to the twelve and the small hand to the six.
+
+"No, Ben, it is time for bed!" Lily said, moving the big hand to the six and the small hand to the twelve.
+
+They laughed and moved the hands again and again, making the clock say different times.
+
+But they did not see that they were spreading the toys all over the floor. They made a big mess.
+
+Mom came into the living room and saw the mess. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben and Lily, what have you done?" she asked. "You have spread the toys everywhere. You have to clean up now."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at the floor and then at Mom. They felt embarrassed. They knew they had done something wrong.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they said.
+
+They helped Mom pick up the toys and put them back in the box. They also put the clock back on the shelf.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them.
+
+"It's okay, Ben and Lily," she said. "I know you were having fun. But next time, please be careful with the clock and the toys. They are not for spreading, they are for playing."
+Tom is a cat who likes to eat fish. He sees a big fish in a bowl on the table. He jumps on the table and tries to catch the fish with his paw. But the fish is not real. It is made of plastic. It is dull and hard. Tom is angry and sad. He wants a real fish.
+
+Sue is a girl who likes to play with Tom. She sees Tom on the table and says, "No, Tom, that is not your fish. That is my toy fish. You cannot eat it. It is not good for you." She takes the plastic fish from Tom and puts it in her box. She gives Tom a hug and says, "I am sorry, Tom. I have a real fish for you. It is in the kitchen. Come with me and I will give it to you."
+
+Tom follows Sue to the kitchen. He sees a small fish on a plate. It is shiny and soft. It smells good. Tom is happy and hungry. He eats the fish and purrs.

+Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Bob.
+
+"Bob is our friend," Anna said. "He likes the cold."
+
+"Let's go see the horses in the stable," Ben said. "Maybe they want to play with Bob too."
+
+They ran to the stable, where the horses were eating hay. They saw a light in the window. It was the farmer.
+
+"Hello, children," the farmer said. "Do you want to pet the horses?"
+
+"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. They liked the horses. They were soft and warm.
+
+The farmer opened the door and let them in. He smiled, but he was not nice. He had a plan.
+
+He locked the door behind them and took out a big knife. He said, "I'm sorry, children, but I need your coats and hats. It's very cold outside, and I have no money to buy new ones."
+
+Anna and Ben were scared. They tried to run, but the farmer was faster. He grabbed them and cut their coats and hats. He threw them on the floor and laughed.
+
+He said, "Now you can freeze like your snowman. Goodbye, children."
+
+He left them in the stable, with no coats and hats. He took their snowman's hat and carrot nose. He went back to his house.

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. But today they have an exam. The exam is about colors and shapes. Lily and Ben want to do well.
+
+Before the exam, Lily and Ben look at their books. Lily says, "This is a red circle. This is a blue square. This is a yellow triangle." Ben says, "No, this is a red square. This is a blue circle. This is a yellow star." Lily and Ben quarrel. They say, "You are wrong. I am right."
+
+The teacher comes and gives them the exam. Lily and Ben look at the exam. They are confused. The exam has different colors and shapes than their books. They do not know what to do.

+"Do you want to play with us?" Tom asked her.
+
+"I don't know. What do you play?" Anna asked.
+
+"We play many things. We can include you in our games. Come, we will show you," Lily said.
+
+Lily and Tom took Anna by the hand and led her to the slide. They took turns sliding down and laughing. Then they went to the swing and pushed each other. Then they ran to the bushes and showed Anna the berries they had found.
+
+"These are berries. They are yummy and good for you. Do you like berries?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. They are pretty and sweet. Can I have some?" Anna asked.
+

+
+"Maybe it is a toy or a cake," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it is a surprise for someone," Ben said.
+
+They wanted to open the box and see. But they also knew that it was not theirs. They looked around and saw a lady with a charming smile walking towards the bench. She had a balloon and a card in her hand.
+
+"Hello, children," the lady said. "Do you like the park?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Lily and Ben said.
+
+"That's good. I like the park too. I came here to meet my friend. It is her birthday today. This is her present," the lady said, pointing to the box.
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They realized that the box was not for them. They had almost ruined the lady's gift for her friend.
+
+"We are sorry, lady," Lily said. "We thought the box was for us. We wanted to see what was inside."
+
+"We are very sorry, lady," Ben said. "We should not touch things that are not ours. We should respect other people's things."
+
+The lady smiled again. She was not angry. She was kind.
+
+"That's okay, children," the lady said. "I understand. You were curious. But you are right. You should not touch things that are not yours. You should respect other people's things. That is a good lesson to learn. And you know what? You can still see what is inside the box. If you want, you can help me give it to my friend. She will be happy to share it with you."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt happy. They had learned a good lesson. They had also made a new friend. They helped the lady carry the box to her friend. They opened it together. Inside was a beautiful cake with candles and sprinkles. They all sang happy birthday and ate the cake. They had a wonderful time at the park.

+
+She takes out a shiny rock from her basket and shows it to the horse. The horse looks at the rock and licks it with its tongue. It makes a funny face and spits out the rock.

+
+Anna thinks. She remembers how her brother taught her to make a snowman. She tells Ben what to do. "We need to find some snow. We need to make three big balls of snow. We need to put them on top of each other. We need to find some sticks and stones and a carrot. We need to make a face and arms and a nose for the snowman. Then we need to give him a hat and a scarf. Do you understand?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben nods. He understands. He is excited to make a snowman with Anna. He thanks her for teaching him. "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You remind me of my sister. She likes to teach me new things too. Let's go find some snow and make a snowman!" Ben says.

+Lily loved planes. She wanted to become a pilot and fly in the sky. She had a toy plane that she played with every day. She made zooming noises and pretended to go fast and high.
+
+One day, her brother Max took her toy plane. He said it was his turn to play. Lily was angry. She said no, it was her plane and she needed it to practice. Max did not listen. He ran away with the plane and hid in his room.

+Lily followed him and knocked on his door. She said, "Give me back my plane, Max! You are mean!" Max said, "No, it is mine now. You are silly!" Lily tried to open the door, but it was locked. She cried and kicked the door.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Max fighting over the toy plane. She said, "Stop it, both of you! Why are you so rude to each other?" Lily and Max said, "He/she took my plane!"
+
+Mom said, "This is not how you share. You both like planes, right? Why don't you play together and take turns? You can pretend to be pilots and fly to different places. Maybe you can even see a huge plane in the sky. Wouldn't that be fun?"
+
+Lily and Max thought about it. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily/Max." They hugged and said, "Let's play together." Mom smiled and gave them the toy plane. She said, "That's better. Have fun, my little pilots." Lily and Max said, "Thank you, Mom." They went to the living room and played with the plane. They made zooming noises and pretended to go fast and high. They saw a huge plane in the sky and waved at it. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut shapes and make pictures. Lily cut a big circle and said, "Look, this is the sun. It is bright and warm." Ben cut a small triangle and said, "This is a hat. It is funny and cool."
+
+Then Lily saw a flower on the table. It was delicate and pretty. It had pink petals and a yellow center. Lily had an urge to cut it. She thought it would make a nice picture. She reached for the scissors and said, "I want to cut the flower."
+
+Ben saw what Lily was going to do and said, "No, don't cut the flower. It is alive and it needs water. If you cut it, it will die and it will not be pretty anymore."
+
+Lily did not listen to Ben. She cut the flower and stuck it on her paper. She said, "Look, this is a flower. It is beautiful and sweet." Ben was sad and angry. He said, "You are mean and selfish. You hurt the flower and you did not care. You are not my friend anymore."
+
+Lily felt bad. She saw that the flower was wilting and losing its color. She realized that she had made a mistake. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. You are right. I should not have cut the flower. It was not mine and it was not fair. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Ben saw that Lily was sorry and he felt sorry too. He said, "I forgive you, Lily. You are my friend and I love you. But next time, please be kind and gentle to the flowers. They are living and they have feelings too."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and made up. They learned a lesson. They learned that cutting is not always good and that they should respect and care for the things that are alive.
+
+The moral value of the story is: Respect and care for the things that are alive.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to help their mom with the dishes. They would take turns putting the dirty plates and cups in the dishwasher and pressing the buttons. Sometimes they would argue about who got to do what, and their mom would have to tell them to share and be nice.
+
+One day, they had a big fight over who got to close the dishwasher door. Lily said it was her turn, but Max said he wanted to do it. They both pulled on the door and shouted at each other. Their mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She was not happy.
+
+"Why are you fighting over the dishwasher?" she asked. "It is just a machine. It does not care who closes the door. You should care more about each other. You are brother and sister. You should love and respect each other."
+
+Lily and Max felt ashamed. They knew their mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to discuss how to take turns and cooperate. They agreed that Lily would close the door today, and Max would do it tomorrow. They also agreed to say thank you and well done to each other when they finished their tasks.
+
+Their mom smiled and praised them for being mature and kind. She said they could have a cookie as a reward. They ate their cookies and enjoyed the peaceful sound of the dishwasher. They learned that discussing is better than fighting, and that sharing is better than grabbing. They were happy and proud of themselves.
+Lily wanted to send a letter to her grandma. She drew a picture of her and her cat with crayons. She put the picture in an envelope and wrote "To Grandma" on it. She asked her mom for a stamp.
+
+"Here you go, sweetie," her mom said, and gave her a stamp. "You need to lick it and stick it on the envelope."
+
+Lily tried to lick the stamp, but it was hard and dry. She struggled to peel it off the paper. She pulled and pulled, but it did not come off. She felt frustrated and angry.
+
+"Mom, I can't do it!" she cried. "The stamp is too tight!"
+
+Her mom came over and helped her. She showed her how to wet the stamp with a sponge. She helped her stick it on the envelope. She smiled and hugged her.
+
+"You did it, Lily!" she said. "You are a good letter writer. Grandma will love your picture."
+
+Lily felt happy and proud. She thanked her mom and ran to the mailbox. She put her letter inside and waved goodbye to it.
+
+"I love you, Grandma!" she shouted. "I hope you get my letter soon!"
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. Lila has a big red truck that she loves. Tom has a small blue car that he loves.
+
+One day, they decide to play a game. They pretend that their cars and trucks need fuel to go fast. They use water as fuel. They fill a bucket with water and put it near their cars and trucks. They take turns to fill their cars and trucks with water from the bucket.
+
+"Look, my truck is full of fuel!" Lila says. "It can go very fast and far!"
+
+"Me too, me too!" Tom says. "My car is full of fuel too! It can go faster than your truck!"
+
+They start to race their cars and trucks on the ground. They make noises like vroom and beep. They have fun.
+
+But then, something weird happens. Lila's truck starts to make a strange sound. It sounds like hiss and pop. Smoke comes out of the truck. The truck stops moving.
+
+"Oh no, what happened to my truck?" Lila cries. "It is broken!"
+
+Tom stops his car and runs to Lila. He sees the smoke and the truck. He feels sorry for Lila.
+
+"Maybe your truck had too much fuel," Tom says. "Maybe the water was bad for your truck."
+
+Lila looks at the bucket. She sees something shiny and green in the water. She picks it up. It is a frog.
+
+"A frog!" Lila says. "A frog was in the water! It made my truck sick!"
+
+Tom looks at the frog. He thinks it is funny. He laughs.
+
+"A frog!" Tom says. "That is a weird fuel! Maybe your truck likes frogs!"
+
+Lila looks at Tom. She thinks he is silly. She laughs too.
+
+"A frog!" Lila says. "That is a weird name for a fuel! Maybe we can name our frog Fuel!"
+
+They both laugh and hug the frog. They forget about the truck and the car. They play with the frog. They name it Fuel. They are happy.
+Sara was happy to go to the park with her mom. She wore her new blouse with flowers on it. She liked how it looked and felt. She wanted to show it to her friends.
+
+At the park, she saw Lily and Max. They were playing with a ball. Sara ran to them and said hello. She wanted to introduce her blouse to them.
+
+"Look at my blouse!" she said. "It has flowers on it. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at her blouse. They did not like it. They thought it was bad. They liked their own clothes better.
+
+"Your blouse is bad," Lily said. "It is too pink and too girly. I like my shirt. It has stars on it. Stars are cool."
+
+"Your blouse is bad," Max said. "It is too soft and too pretty. I like my jacket. It has pockets on it. Pockets are useful."
+
+Sara felt sad and angry. She did not like what they said. She liked her blouse. She thought it was good. She did not want to play with them anymore.
+
+She turned away and looked for someone else to play with. She saw Ben. He was sitting on a bench. He had a book on his lap. He looked nice and friendly.
+
+Sara walked to him and said hello. She wanted to introduce her blouse to him.
+
+"Hi, I'm Sara," she said. "This is my blouse. It has flowers on it. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben looked at her blouse. He liked it. He thought it was good. He liked how it looked and felt. He liked flowers too.
+
+"Your blouse is good," he said. "It is very pink and very girly. I like your blouse. It has flowers on it. Flowers are beautiful."
+
+Sara felt happy and glad. She liked what he said. She liked his book too. She wanted to play with him.
+
+"Thank you," she said. "What is your book about?"
+
+Ben smiled and showed her his book. It was about animals. He liked animals too.
+
+"This is my book," he said. "It is about animals. Do you like animals?"
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She liked animals too.
+
+"Yes, I like animals," she said. "Can I read your book with you?"
+
+Ben nodded and moved over. He made room for her on the bench.
+
+"Sure, you can read my book with me," he said. "Let's be friends."
+
+Sara sat next to him and opened the book. They looked at the pictures and read the words. They learned about different animals. They had fun.
+
+They introduced their blouse and their book to each other. They liked each other's things. They liked each other. They became friends.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. Sara and Ben are scared of the dog.
+
+They whisper to each other. "Let's run away from the dog," Sara says. "No, let's hide behind the tree," Ben says. They do not know what to do. The dog sees them and barks. The dog runs to them.
+
+Sara and Ben scream. They try to run away, but the dog is faster. The dog bites Sara's leg. Sara falls down and cries. Ben tries to help Sara, but the dog bites Ben's arm. Ben falls down and cries too.
+
+The dog is bad. The dog hurts Sara and Ben. No one comes to help them. Sara and Ben are alone and in pain. They wish they had stayed away from the dog. They wish they had listened to their moms. They are very sad and scared. The end.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to ride bikes in the park. Ben has a red bike and Mia has a blue bike. They have helmets and pedals.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big hill. Ben says, "Let's go up the hill and down the hill. It will be fun!" Mia says, "OK, let's go!"
+
+They pedal hard and go up the hill. They feel the wind in their hair. They see the sky and the trees. They are happy.
+
+But when they go down the hill, Mia's pedal falls off. Her bike goes too fast. She cannot stop. She is scared. She cries, "Help! Help!"
+
+Ben hears Mia. He pedals faster and catches up with her. He says, "Don't worry, Mia. I will help you." He puts his hand on her bike and slows it down. He stops her bike before it hits a tree. He says, "Are you OK, Mia?"
+
+Mia says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very helpful. You saved me." She hugs Ben. She says, "I'm sorry, I forgot to check my pedal. It was loose."
+
+Ben says, "It's OK, Mia. It was an accident. I'm glad you are not hurt. Let's find your pedal and fix your bike."
+
+They find Mia's pedal on the ground. They ask their moms to help them put it back on. They check their bikes and helmets. They say, "Let's ride again. But this time, let's go slow and careful."
+
+They ride again in the park. They have fun. They are friends.
+Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But Mom says they have to clean up before dinner. She gives them a big tray to put their toys on.
+
+"Come on, Tim, let's put our toys on the tray," Mia says. "Then we can have dinner and watch TV."
+
+"No, I don't want to," Tim says. He is holding a red car and a blue truck. "I want to play more. Mom will not see."
+
+"Yes, she will," Mia says. "She will be mad if we make a mess. And we will not get dessert."
+
+"I don't care," Tim says. He throws the car and the truck on the floor. "I like to play. You are crazy."
+
+Mia is sad. She tries to pick up the toys by herself. But there are too many. She sees a doll, a ball, a book, and a puzzle. She puts them on the tray. But the tray is full. She does not know what to do.
+
+Then Mom comes in. She sees the tray and the toys on the floor. She sees Mia and Tim.
+
+"Mia, you did a good job," Mom says. "You can have dessert and watch TV. But Tim, you did not help. You did not listen. You can not have dessert or watch TV. You have to go to your room."
+
+Tim is mad. He cries and stomps his feet. He does not want to go to his room. He wants to play and have dessert and watch TV.
+
+"Mom, please, please, please," Tim says. "I am sorry. I will help. I will clean up. Please, permit me to stay."
+
+But Mom shakes her head. She takes Tim by the hand and leads him to his room. She closes the door.
+
+"Maybe next time you will be a good boy," Mom says. "And you will not be crazy."
+
+The end.
+Tim and Jen like to play with water. They have a big hose in the garden. They spray water on the flowers, the grass and the dog. The dog likes water. He wags his tail and barks.
+
+One day, Tim and Jen see a big can on the shelf. It has a picture of a flower on it. They think it is water for the flowers. They take the can and go to the garden. They want to spray water on the flowers.
+
+But the can is not water. It is paint. It is red paint. When they spray the can, red paint comes out. It goes on the flowers, the grass and the dog. The dog does not like paint. He runs away and yelps.
+
+Tim and Jen are scared. They drop the can. The can rolls on the ground. It sprays more paint. It goes on the fence, the wall and the window. The window is open. The paint goes inside the house.
+
+Mom and Dad are inside the house. They hear the noise. They see the paint. They are angry. They shout at Tim and Jen.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom says. "You have made a big mess!"
+
+"You are in big trouble!" Dad says. "You have ruined the flowers, the grass, the dog, the fence, the wall and the window!"
+
+Tim and Jen are sorry. They cry. They say they are sorry. They say they did not know. They say they thought it was water.
+
+But Mom and Dad do not listen. They are too angry. They take Tim and Jen to their room. They strip them of their clothes. They put them in tight pajamas. They say they have to stay in their room for a long time. They say they have to clean the mess later.
+
+Tim and Jen are sad. They hug each other. They wish they had not played with the can. They wish they had played with the hose. They wish they had not sprayed paint. They wish they had sprayed water.
+Lia and Tom were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Lia had a big shield made of cardboard and Tom had a stick for a sword. They pretended to fight the scary dragon that lived in the bushes.
+
+"Roar!" Tom shouted, waving his stick. "I am the dragon and I will eat you!"
+
+"No, you won't!" Lia said, holding her shield in front of her. "I am the brave knight and I will stop you!"
+
+They ran towards each other, laughing and dodging. Lia tried to lift her shield high, but it was too heavy for her. She stumbled and fell on the grass.
+
+"Ow!" she cried, rubbing her knee. "That hurt!"
+
+Tom stopped and ran to her. He saw that she had a small cut on her knee and some blood. He felt anxious. He did not want to hurt his sister.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lia!" he said, dropping his stick. "Are you okay?"
+
+He hugged her and helped her stand up. He looked for something to clean her wound. He saw a cloth on the table. He lifted it and wrapped it around her knee.
+
+"There, that's better," he said, smiling. "You are very brave, Lia. You have a good shield."
+
+Lia smiled back. She felt better. She hugged her brother and thanked him.
+
+"You are very kind, Tom. You have a good sword."
+
+They decided to stop playing knights and dragons and have a snack instead. They lifted their shield and sword and put them away. They went inside and asked their mom for some cookies and juice. They shared their story and their mom praised them for being good siblings. They felt happy and proud.
+Tommy was sick. He had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy gave him some juice and a thermometer. She put the thermometer in his mouth and said, "Hold still, Tommy. I need to see how hot you are."
+
+Tommy tried to hold still, but he did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made him gag. He spit it out and it fell on the floor. "Oh no, Tommy, you lost the thermometer!" Mommy said. She looked under the bed and the chair, but she could not find it.
+
+Tommy felt bad. He did not mean to lose the thermometer. He wanted to help Mommy find it. He got out of bed and crawled on the floor. He looked behind the toys and the books, but he could not find it either.
+
+Then he saw something shiny under the rug. He lifted the rug and there it was. The thermometer! He picked it up and ran to Mommy. "Look, Mommy, I found it!" he said. He gave her the thermometer and hugged her.
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged him back. "You are so brave, Tommy. You helped me find the thermometer. Thank you." She put the thermometer in his mouth again and said, "Now let's see how hot you are. Maybe you will feel better soon."
+Tom and Amy were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom had a toy car that he liked very much. It was red and shiny and had four big wheels. Amy had a doll that she liked very much. It was soft and pretty and had long hair.
+
+"Look at my car, Amy!" Tom said. "It can go very fast and make vroom-vroom sounds!"
+

+
+They showed each other their toys and smiled. They were happy to share and play together.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Tom's car got too close to the fireplace, where there was a fire to keep them warm. The fire was very hot and made the car melt. The car became soft and sticky and lost its shape. The wheels fell off and the cord that made the vroom-vroom sounds broke.
+
+"Oh no, my car!" Tom cried. "It is ruined! It can't go fast or make noises anymore!"
+
+He was very sad and angry. He picked up the melted car and threw it on the floor. He did not want to play with it anymore.
+
+Amy saw what happened and felt sorry for Tom. She knew he loved his car very much. She wanted to help him feel better.
+
+"Tom, don't be sad," she said. "I have an idea. We can make a new car for you with my doll."
+
+She took her doll and gave it to Tom. She showed him how to use the doll's hair as a cord, the doll's arms as wheels, and the doll's mouth as a horn.
+
+"See, Tom? Now you have a new car!" she said. "It can go fast and make beep-beep sounds!"
+
+Tom looked at the doll-car and smiled. He thought it was funny and clever. He thanked Amy for being a good friend.

+Tom liked to jog every day. He wanted to be fast and strong. He had a big race at school soon. He hoped to win a medal.
+
+One day, he saw a cat on the road. The cat was scared and hurt. It had a thorn in its paw. Tom stopped and helped the cat. He took out the thorn and gave the cat some water. The cat purred and licked his hand.
+
+"Thank you, kind boy," the cat said. "You are very good. I will remember you."
+
+Tom smiled and said goodbye to the cat. He was late for his jog, but he felt happy.

+Then, he saw something on the track. It was the cat he had helped. The cat ran next to him and cheered him on. "You can do it, Tom! You are very good. I will help you."

+Anna liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and smell them. She liked the red ones, the yellow ones, and the blue ones. But her favorite flower was the white one. It was unusual. It had a big star in the middle. It looked like it could shine.
+
+One day, Anna saw a bee on the white flower. She was curious. She went closer to see what the bee was doing. She heard the bee buzz.
+
+"Hello, bee," Anna said. "Why do you like this flower?"
+
+The bee looked at Anna and said, "Hello, little girl. I like this flower because it is sweet. It has nectar for me. And it is pretty. It has a star for me."
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "I like this flower too. It is my favorite. It has a star for me too. Do you know why it has a star?"
+
+The bee said, "No, I don't know. Maybe it is a special flower. Maybe it has a secret."
+
+Anna wondered what the secret was. She said, "Maybe it can shine at night. Maybe it can make a wish come true. Maybe it is a magic flower."
+
+The bee said, "Maybe. But I have to go now. I have to find more flowers. Goodbye, little girl. Thank you for being nice to me."
+
+The bee flew away. Anna waved goodbye. She said, "Goodbye, bee. Come back soon. Maybe we can find out the secret together."
+
+She touched the white flower gently. She felt happy. She thought it was a wonderful flower. She hoped it could shine.
+Lily loved to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make her pictures. She liked to draw flowers, animals, and rainbows. She was very good at drawing and felt successful.
+
+One day, she went to play with her friend Max. Max also liked to draw, but he had only one crayon. It was blue and broken. He wanted to draw a big ocean with fish and boats, but he could not. He felt sad and angry.
+
+"Can I use your crayons?" he asked Lily.
+
+"No, they are mine. I own them. You can't have them," Lily said. She did not want to share her crayons. She was afraid Max would break them or lose them.
+
+"Please, Lily, just one crayon. I need it to finish my picture," Max begged.
+
+"No, no, no!" Lily shouted. She held her crayons tight and ran away.
+
+Max felt more sad and angry. He chased Lily and tried to grab her crayons. They fought and yelled and cried. They did not have fun.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was Lily's mom. She had heard the noise and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked. She saw the crayons, the pictures, and the tears.
+
+"Lily won't share her crayons with me. She is mean," Max said.
+
+"Max tried to take my crayons. He is rude," Lily said.
+
+Lily's mom sighed. She knew they were both wrong. She decided to teach them a lesson.
+
+She took all the crayons and put them in a box. She said, "You can't play with the crayons until you learn to share. Sharing is caring. If you share your crayons, you can make more beautiful pictures together. If you don't share, you will have no crayons and no friends."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they had done. They said sorry to each other and to Lily's mom. They asked for the crayons back.
+
+Lily's mom smiled. She gave them the crayons and said, "You can play with the crayons, but only if you promise to share and be nice. Do you promise?"
+
+"Yes, we promise," Lily and Max said.
+
+They took the crayons and started to draw. They shared the colors and shapes. They helped each other with their pictures. They made a big ocean with fish and boats, and a big garden with flowers and animals. They added a rainbow and a sun. They were happy and proud.
+
+They showed their pictures to Lily's mom. She said, "Wow, these are amazing. You are very successful. You are also very kind and generous. I am proud of you."
+
+Lily and Max hugged her and thanked her. They hugged each other and said, "You are my friend. I like your crayons. I like your pictures. I like you."
+
+They played with the crayons until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and promised to play again soon. They learned a valuable lesson. They learned that sharing is better than owning.
+Lila and Ben like to play in the big maze. The maze has many paths and walls made of green plants. They have fun finding their way and hiding from each other.
+
+One day, they hear a sound in the maze. It is a bird singing. The bird is blue and has a yellow beak. It sits on a branch and sings a pretty song.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Lila says. "What is your name?"
+
+The bird stops singing and looks at Lila. "My name is Sky," the bird says. "I like to sing and fly in the maze. Do you want to sing with me?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lila says. She likes to sing too. She knows many songs. She sings a song about the sun and the moon. The bird likes the song and sings along.
+
+Ben hears Lila and the bird singing. He follows the sound and finds them. He smiles and joins them. He sings a song about the stars and the rain. The bird likes the song and sings along.
+
+Lila, Ben and Sky sing together in the maze. They are happy and have fun. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big worm and put it in a jar.
+
+"Look, we have a pet worm!" Tom said.
+
+"Let me see!" Lily said. She took the jar from Tom and shook it hard.
+
+"Stop it! You are hurting the worm!" Tom said. He tried to get the jar back, but Lily ran away.
+
+"That's rude! Give me the jar!" Tom shouted.
+
+Lily ran to the fence and threw the jar over it. She laughed and stuck out her tongue.
+
+"Ha ha! Bye bye, worm!" she said.
+
+Tom was very angry and sad. He ran to the fence and looked over it. He saw the jar on the ground, broken. The worm was lying on the grass, still.
+
+"Oh no! The worm is dead!" Tom cried.
+
+He climbed over the fence and ran to the worm. He picked it up gently and looked for a safe place. He saw a flower pot with some soil. He dug a hole and put the worm in it.
+
+"I'm sorry, worm. I hope you are happy now." He said.
+
+He covered the worm with soil and put a stone on top. He made a cross with two sticks and tied them with a string. He wrote "Worm" on the stone with a marker.
+
+He said a prayer for the worm and gave it a kiss. He felt better. He had rescued the worm from Lily. He hoped the worm would forgive him. He went back to the garden and looked for another bug to play with. He decided not to share it with Lily. She was too rude.
+Sara liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She drew her family, her dog, her house, and her dreams. She was happy when she drew.
+
+One day, her teacher said they would have a show. All the children would raise their drawings and show them to the class. Sara was excited. She wanted to make a new drawing for the show. She thought of a beautiful image in her head. It was a big rainbow with flowers and birds.
+
+She worked hard on her drawing. She used all her colors and made it very bright. She was proud of her drawing. She put it in her bag and went to school.
+
+But when she got to school, she saw something bad. Her bag was wet. Her water bottle had leaked. Her drawing was ruined. The colors were mixed and the paper was torn. Sara felt very sad. She wanted to cry.
+
+The teacher saw Sara and her poor drawing. She felt sorry for Sara. She said, "Don't worry, Sara. I have an idea. Come with me." She took Sara to the art room. There, she gave Sara a new paper and some paints. She said, "You can make a new drawing with these. You have time before the show. Try again, Sara. You can do it."
+
+Sara nodded. She thanked the teacher. She looked at the paints. They were different from her colors. They were wet and shiny. She wondered how to use them. She dipped her brush and started to paint. She remembered her image. She painted the rainbow, the flowers, and the birds. She used different strokes and blends. She made a new drawing. It was different from her old one, but it was still beautiful.
+
+She finished her drawing. She smiled. She liked it. She raised it and showed it to the teacher. The teacher smiled too. She said, "Well done, Sara. You are a great artist. You are ready for the show."
+
+Sara felt happy. She thanked the teacher again. She took her drawing and went to the show. She raised it and showed it to the class. The class clapped and cheered. Sara felt proud. She had made a new drawing. She had learned something new. She had turned something bad into something good. She was happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. Lily puts a block on top of another block. Ben nods and says, "Good job, Lily!" He puts another block on top of Lily's block. They smile and keep working.
+
+But then, Max comes. Max is a big boy. He likes to break things. He sees Lily and Ben's tower. He says, "That's a silly tower. I can make it fall down." He pushes the tower with his hand. The blocks fall down and make a loud noise. Lily and Ben are sad and angry. Their work is broken.
+
+They say to Max, "That's not nice, Max! You broke our work! Go away!" Max laughs and says, "No, I won't go away. I like to break things. I will break your work again and again." He tries to grab more blocks.
+
+But then, Mom comes. She sees what Max is doing. She says, "Max, stop that! You are being mean and rude. You can't break other people's work. You have to share and be kind. Say sorry to Lily and Ben right now." Max looks scared. He says, "Sorry, Lily and Ben." He gives them back their blocks.
+
+Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you can keep playing with your blocks. Max, you have to find another toy to play with. And don't break anything else." Lily and Ben nod and say, "Thank you, Mom." They start to build their tower again. They hope Max will learn to be nice.
+Tom and Lily were playing outside after the rain. They liked to jump in the puddles and splash each other. They saw a big puddle near the fence and ran to it.
+
+"Look, Lily, this puddle is so big and shiny!" Tom said.
+
+"Let's jump in it, Tom!" Lily said.
+
+They jumped in the puddle and laughed. But they did not see that the puddle was not water. It was mud. The mud was sticky and dirty and smelled bad. It got on their clothes and shoes and hair.
+
+"Oh no, Tom, we are all muddy!" Lily said.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, we are in trouble!" Tom said.
+
+They heard their mom calling them from the house. They ran to the door, but mom saw them and was angry.
+
+"Tom and Lily, what have you done? You are all muddy! You have to take a bath and change your clothes right now!" mom said.
+
+"Sorry, mom, we did not know it was mud. We thought it was water. We just wanted to play," Tom and Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed and took them to the bathroom. She washed them and gave them clean clothes. She was not angry anymore, but she was not happy either.
+
+"Tom and Lily, you have to be careful when you play outside. You have to look before you jump. You have to know what you are jumping in. You could get hurt or sick or make a mess. Do you understand?" mom said.
+
+"Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry. We will be careful next time," Tom and Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged them and smiled. She was glad they were safe and clean. She took them to the kitchen and gave them some cookies and milk. They ate them and thanked mom.
+
+"Mom, can we go outside and play again?" Tom and Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, you can, but only after you finish your cookies and milk. And only in the grass, not in the puddles. And only if you promise to look before you jump. Do you promise?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, we promise. We love you, mom," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They finished their cookies and milk and went outside to play again. They played in the grass and had fun. They did not jump in the puddles anymore. They looked before they jumped. They learned their lesson.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with clay. They had many colors of clay and they made different shapes with it. They liked to feel the texture of the clay in their hands. It was soft and squishy.
+
+One day, they found a new color of clay in their toy box. It was brown and it looked like chocolate. Anna and Ben both wanted to play with it. They reached for it at the same time and pulled it from each other. They started to quarrel.
+
+"Give me the clay, it's mine!" Anna shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Ben yelled.
+
+They pulled and tugged and twisted the clay until it broke into two pieces. They each held one piece and glared at each other. They were very angry.
+
+But then, they smelled something bad. They sniffed the clay in their hands and made a face. It was not chocolate. It was smelly. It was poop. Someone had put poop in their toy box.
+
+Anna and Ben dropped the clay and screamed. They ran to their mom and told her what happened. She was shocked and disgusted. She threw away the poop and cleaned their hands. She asked them who did it.
+
+They looked at each other and remembered their dog, Spot. He liked to sneak into their room and chew on their toys. He must have left them a nasty surprise.
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry for quarreling. They hugged and said sorry. They decided to share their clay and play nicely. They also decided to keep their door closed so Spot could not get in. They learned their lesson.
+Tom is a brown dog who likes to play with his friends. He has a ball, a bone and a rope. He does not like to share his toys with other dogs. He thinks they are only for him.
+
+One day, he sees a new dog in the park. She is white and fluffy and has a red collar. Tom wants to play with her, but he does not want to share his toys. He runs to her and barks, "Hello, I am Tom. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The new dog smiles and says, "Hello, I am Lily. Yes, I want to play with you. What do you have?"
+
+Tom shows her his toys and says, "I have a ball, a bone and a rope. They are mine. You cannot have them."
+
+Lily frowns and says, "That is not nice. Why do you not share your toys? Sharing is fun. It makes friends happy. Do you not want to be happy?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He likes Lily. She is pretty and friendly. He wants to be happy. He wants to be her friend. He says, "I am sorry. I do not know how to share. Can you teach me?"
+
+Lily nods and says, "Of course. I can teach you. Sharing is easy. You just have to include others in your games. You can take turns with your toys. You can play together. You can have more fun. Come, I will show you."
+
+Lily and Tom go to the other dogs in the park. They share Tom's toys with them. They play fetch, tug and chew. They have a lot of fun. Tom learns how to share. He makes new friends. He is happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. It makes you and others happy. You can learn how to share from others. You can include others in your games. You can have more fun.
+Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the old house. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then went to look for Tom. She opened doors and looked under beds, but she could not find him.
+
+She heard a giggle from the closet in the hall. She ran to the closet and opened it. She saw Tom hiding behind a big coat. She also saw a lot of cobwebs on the coat and the walls. Cobwebs are thin and sticky things that spiders make.
+
+"Found you!" Lily said. "You are in a spooky place. Are you not scared of the cobwebs?"
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, I am not scared. They are just regular cobwebs. They do not hurt. See?" He touched one of the cobwebs with his finger. It stuck to his finger and he pulled it off.
+
+Lily looked at the cobweb on his finger. She felt curious. She reached out and touched another cobweb. It stuck to her hand and she pulled it off. She laughed. "They are funny. They are like strings. Can we play with them?"
+
+Tom nodded. "Yes, we can. But we have to be careful. We do not want to make the spiders angry. They live here too."
+
+Lily and Tom decided to reveal their hiding place and come out of the closet. They took some of the cobwebs with them and made shapes and patterns with them. They had fun playing with the cobwebs until their mom called them for lunch. They left the old house and went to eat. They told their mom about their adventure and showed her their cobweb art. Their mom smiled and praised them for being brave and creative. She also told them to wash their hands before eating.
+Lily did not like to go to the doctor. She was scared of the needle. The needle was sharp and made her arm hurt. She cried when her mom said they had to go.
+
+"Please, mom, no needle!" Lily begged.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, but you need the needle. It will make you strong and healthy. It will not hurt for long. I will be with you and hold your hand," mom said.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the doctor's office. Lily saw other kids in the waiting room. Some of them looked happy, some of them looked sad. Lily saw a boy with a band-aid on his arm. He smiled at her.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" he asked.
+
+"I'm Lily. I don't want the needle," she said.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. The needle is not so bad. I had it today. It was just a little pinch. Then the doctor gave me a sticker and a lollipop. See?" he showed her his sticker and his lollipop.
+
+Lily looked at the sticker and the lollipop. They were pretty and sweet. She liked stickers and lollipops. Maybe the needle was not so bad after all.
+
+"Lily, it's your turn. Come with me," mom said.
+
+Lily took a deep breath and followed mom. She saw the doctor in a white coat. He smiled at her.
+
+"Hello, Lily. I'm Dr. Lee. I'm going to give you a needle. It will be very quick and easy. You are a brave girl, right?" he said.
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to be brave. She wanted a sticker and a lollipop. She climbed on the bed and lay down. Mom held her hand.
+
+"Ready, Lily? One, two, three, done!" Dr. Lee said.
+
+Lily felt a pinch on her arm. She closed her eyes and squeezed mom's hand. It hurt a little, but not too much. She opened her eyes and saw Dr. Lee put a band-aid on her arm.
+
+"Good job, Lily! You did great! Here is your sticker and your lollipop. You can choose any flavor you want," Dr. Lee said.
+
+Lily smiled. She picked a pink sticker and a strawberry lollipop. She thanked Dr. Lee and hugged mom.
+
+"See, Lily? It was not so bad. I'm proud of you. You are a strong and healthy girl," mom said.
+
+Lily felt happy. She was not scared of the needle anymore. She licked her lollipop and looked at her sticker. She saw Ben in the waiting room. He waved at her.
+
+"Bye, Lily. You are brave. I hope you like your sticker and your lollipop," he said.
+
+"Bye, Ben. Thank you. I like them a lot," she said.
+
+Lily and mom got in the car and drove home. Lily told mom about Ben and how he helped her. Mom smiled and kissed her.
+
+"I'm glad you made a friend, Lily. And I'm glad you got the needle. It will protect you from the smelly germs. The smelly germs are bad. They make you sick and tired. The needle will keep them away," mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She did not like the smelly germs. She liked to be strong and healthy. She liked to have friends. She liked to have stickers and lollipops. She liked to go to the doctor. Well, maybe not so much. But she did not mind it anymore. She was brave. She was happy. She was Lily.
+Tim and Mia liked to play with dough. They had many colors of dough and they made animals and shapes with it. One day, they wanted to make a big snake with all the dough. They put all the dough on the table and rolled it and twisted it. The snake was very long and flexible. It could bend and curl.
+
+"Look at our snake!" Tim said. "It is the best snake ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Mia said. "Let's make it go around the room!"
+
+They lifted the snake and carried it around the room. They put it on the sofa, on the chair, on the shelf, on the lamp. They had fun with the snake.
+
+But they did not see that the snake left bits of dough everywhere. The dough stuck to the sofa, to the chair, to the shelf, to the lamp. It made a big mess.
+
+Mom came into the room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She saw the snake on the floor and the dough on everything.
+
+"Tim and Mia, what have you done?" Mom said. "You made a big mess with the dough. You did not take care of your toys. You did not listen to the rules. You have to punish."
+
+Tim and Mia felt bad. They knew they did wrong. They said sorry to Mom.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Tim said. "We just wanted to play with the snake."
+
+"We did not mean to make a mess," Mia said. "We will clean it up."
+
+Mom nodded. She said, "You have to clean up the mess. And you have to put the dough back in the box. And you have to play with the dough only on the table. That is your punish. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Mia nodded. They said, "We understand, Mom. We will do our punish."
+
+They took the snake and the dough and cleaned up the mess. They put the dough back in the box. They played with the dough only on the table. They learned their lesson. They did not make a big snake again.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with red berries. They want to pick some berries and eat them.
+
+"Look, Mia, berries!" Tom says. He runs to the tree and reaches for a berry.
+
+"Wait, Tom, be careful!" Mia says. She sees a bird on the branch. The bird is lively and loud. It flaps its wings and pecks at Tom's hand. "Ow!" Tom says. He drops the berry and runs back to Mia.
+
+"That bird is mean!" Tom says. He rubs his hand. "It does not want to share the berries."
+
+"Maybe the bird needs the berries more than we do," Mia says. She thinks for a moment. "Maybe the bird has babies in the tree. Maybe the bird is feeding them the berries."
+
+Tom thinks too. He feels sorry for the bird. "You are right, Mia," he says. "The bird needs the berries for its babies. We can find something else to eat."
+
+Tom and Mia look around the park. They see a bench with a basket. There is a lady sitting on the bench. She smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, children," she says. "Do you want some cookies? I have too many."
+
+Tom and Mia smile back. They say thank you and take some cookies. They sit on the grass and eat them. They are happy and full.
+
+The bird watches them from the tree. It stops being loud. It picks a berry and flies to its nest. It feeds its babies. It is happy and full too.
+Sam was a bad boy. He did not listen to his mom and dad. He did not share his toys with his sister. He did not say sorry when he hurt someone. He only wanted to do what he liked.
+
+One day, he found a whip in the garage. He thought it was a fun toy. He ran outside and started to whip the flowers, the trees, and the birds. He laughed when he saw them fall and cry. He did not care if he made them sad.
+
+But then, he saw a big dog. The dog was angry. It did not like Sam's whip. It barked and ran towards Sam. Sam was scared. He tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It caught Sam and bit his leg. Sam screamed and dropped the whip.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sam cried. "Mom! Dad! Help me!"
+
+His mom and dad heard him and came outside. They saw the dog and the whip and Sam's leg. They were shocked and worried. They chased the dog away and took Sam inside. They cleaned his wound and put a bandage on it.
+
+"Sam, why did you play with the whip?" his mom asked. "You know it is not a toy. You know it can hurt you and others. You were very naughty and foolish."
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Sam said. "I just wanted to have fun. I did not think about the whip. I did not think about the flowers, the trees, and the birds. I did not think about the dog. I was selfish and mean."
+
+His dad hugged him and said, "Sam, we love you, but we are not happy with what you did. You need to learn to be kind and gentle. You need to listen to us and follow the rules. You need to respect and care for all living things. You need to say sorry when you make a mistake. That is how you can be a good boy and have real fun."
+
+Sam nodded and said, "I understand, dad. I will try to be a good boy. I will not play with the whip again. I will say sorry to the flowers, the trees, and the birds. I will be nice to my sister and everyone. I will listen to you and mom. Thank you for helping me."
+
+His mom and dad smiled and kissed him. They were glad that Sam learned his lesson. They hoped that he would remember it and grow up to be a good person.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral: Playing with dangerous things can hurt you and others. Be kind and gentle to all living things. Listen to your parents and follow the rules. Say sorry when you make a mistake.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a well in the park. They want to look inside the well.
+
+"Let's go to the well," Tom says.
+
+"OK," Sue says.
+
+They run to the well. They lean over the edge. They see water and stones. They also see something shiny.
+
+"What is that?" Sue asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a coin," Tom says.
+
+"I want it," Sue says.
+
+"Me too," Tom says.
+
+They both reach for the shiny thing. They try to grab it. But they lose their balance. They fall into the well.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Sue scream.
+
+They splash in the water. They are scared. They see the shiny thing. It is not a coin. It is a metal ring. It has teeth on it.
+
+"It is a trap!" Tom says.
+
+"It is a bad trap!" Sue says.
+
+They try to avoid the trap. But the trap is fast. It moves towards them. It tries to chew them.
+
+"Go away, trap!" Tom and Sue shout.
+
+They kick the trap. They throw stones at the trap. But the trap does not stop. It is intelligent. It knows how to catch them.
+
+They are in trouble. They need help. They hope someone will hear them. They hope someone will save them.
+Tom and Tim were twins. They looked the same and liked the same things. They liked to play with cars and balls and blocks. They also liked to play tricks on Mom and Dad.
+
+One day, they had a terrible idea. They decided to switch clothes and pretend to be each other. They thought it would be funny to see if Mom and Dad could tell them apart. They put on each other's shirts and pants and shoes and hats. They ran to the living room where Mom and Dad were reading.
+
+"Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad!" they said in their best fake voices.
+
+Mom and Dad looked up and smiled. They did not seem to notice anything wrong. They asked them how their day was and what they wanted for lunch. Tom and Tim answered with lies. They said they did the opposite of what they really did. They said they hated what they really liked. They tried not to laugh.
+
+But Mom and Dad were not fooled. They knew their twins very well. They saw the little clues that gave them away. They saw the mole on Tim's cheek that Tom did not have. They saw the scratch on Tom's knee that Tim did not have. They saw the way they blinked their eyes when they lied. They blinked too fast and too often.
+
+Mom and Dad decided to play along. They pretended to believe their tricks. They said they had a surprise for them. They said they had a new toy for them. They said they had to go to the garage to get it. They asked them to follow them.
+
+Tom and Tim were very excited. They thought they had fooled Mom and Dad. They thought they would get a new toy. They followed them to the garage. They did not see the big bucket of water on the door. They did not see the string that held it. They did not see the trap.
+
+Mom and Dad opened the door. The bucket fell. The water splashed. Tom and Tim got wet. They screamed. They cried. They realized they had been tricked.
+
+Mom and Dad laughed. They hugged them. They said they loved them. They said they knew they were not each other. They said they wanted them to be themselves. They said they wanted them to be honest. They said they wanted them to learn a lesson.
+
+Tom and Tim felt sorry. They apologized. They said they loved them too. They said they would not play tricks again. They said they learned their lesson. They hugged them back.
+
+They went to change their clothes. They went to have lunch. They went to play with their real toys. They did not blink too fast or too often. They were happy. They were twins.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a shiny jewel in the grass. Sara picks it up and says, "Look, Ben, a pretty jewel! Can I keep it?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Sure, Sara, you can keep it. It is yours. I support you."
+
+Sara is happy. She puts the jewel in her pocket and smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Let's go to the swings."
+
+They run to the swings and take turns. They have fun. But then, a big boy comes. He sees the jewel in Sara's pocket. He wants it. He says, "Hey, you, give me that jewel. It is mine."
+
+Sara is scared. She says, "No, it is not yours. It is mine. I found it in the park. Go away."
+
+The big boy is angry. He says, "No, it is mine. I lost it in the park. Give it to me or I will hurt you."
+
+He grabs Sara's arm and tries to take the jewel. Sara cries and says, "Help, Ben, help!"
+
+Ben is also scared. He does not know what to do. He wants to help Sara, but he is afraid of the big boy. He thinks, "The big boy is serious. He is bigger and stronger than me. He can hurt me too. Maybe I should run away and get help."
+
+But before he can run away, the big boy sees him. He says, "You, too, give me your jewel. Or I will hurt you and your friend."
+
+Ben does not have a jewel. He only has a button. He says, "I don't have a jewel. I only have a button. See?"
+
+He shows the button to the big boy. The big boy laughs and says, "A button? That is not a jewel. That is nothing. You are silly. But I will take it anyway. And your friend's jewel too."
+
+He snatches the button from Ben and the jewel from Sara. He puts them in his pocket and says, "Now, go away. And don't come back. Or I will hurt you more."
+
+He pushes Ben and Sara to the ground and runs away. Ben and Sara are hurt and sad. They lost their jewel and their button. They lost their fun. They cry and hug each other. They wish they had a better friend. They wish they had a better day. They wish they had a better ending.
+Jenny loved dinosaurs. She had many dinosaur toys in her room. She liked to play with them and make them roar and stomp. But she did not like to clean her room. She left her dinosaurs all over the floor and on her bed.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Jenny, you need to clean your room. It is very messy. You are a big girl now. You can be independent and do it by yourself." Jenny did not want to clean her room. She wanted to play with her dinosaurs. She said, "No, mom. I don't want to clean. I want to play."
+
+Her mom said, "Okay, Jenny. But if you don't clean your room, you will not get a surprise. I have a surprise for you in the living room. But you can only see it if you clean your room." Jenny was curious. She wanted to see the surprise. But she still did not want to clean her room. She said, "Maybe later, mom. I want to play now."
+
+Her mom said, "Alright, Jenny. But the surprise will not wait for you. It might go away. You better hurry and clean your room." Jenny did not believe her mom. She thought the surprise would stay in the living room. She said, "Okay, mom. Bye." She went back to playing with her dinosaurs.
+
+After a while, Jenny heard a loud roar from the living room. She was scared. She ran to the living room to see what it was. She saw a big dinosaur in the living room. It was not a toy. It was a real dinosaur. It had green scales and sharp teeth and a long tail. It looked at Jenny and roared again. Jenny screamed. She ran back to her room. She wished she had cleaned her room. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had seen the surprise before it became a dinosaur.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the backyard. They have a large tent that they like to pretend is their house. They want to prepare for a camping trip, so they bring some toys and snacks inside the tent.
+
+"Look, I have a flashlight and a map," Ben says, showing Sara his things. "We can explore the woods at night."
+
+"I have a teddy bear and a blanket," Sara says, holding her things. "We can be cozy and warm in the tent."
+
+They hear a loud noise from the street. It sounds like a big truck. They peek out of the tent and see a garbage truck picking up the trash cans.
+
+"Wow, that truck is so big and noisy," Ben says, covering his ears.
+
+"It scares me," Sara says, hugging her teddy bear. "Can we go inside the house?"
+
+Ben nods and grabs his things. They run to the back door and knock. Mom opens the door and smiles.
+
+"Hi, kids. Did you have fun playing in the tent?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, but we heard a scary truck," Sara says, clinging to Mom.
+
+"It's okay, sweetie. The truck is just doing its job. It won't hurt you," Mom says, comforting Sara.
+
+"Can we play in the tent again tomorrow?" Ben asks, looking at Mom.
+
+"Sure, if you want to. But remember to always stay in the backyard where it's safe," Mom says, leading them inside.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We will," Sara and Ben say, following Mom. They are happy to be in their real house, where they feel safe and loved.
+Sara and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Sara was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran behind the big tree and waited for Sara to find him. He was very quiet and still.
+
+Sara looked around the garden and tried to find Ben. She saw a red blouse hanging on the clothesline. She thought maybe Ben was hiding under the blouse. She ran to the clothesline and pulled the blouse down. But there was no Ben under the blouse. There was only a puddle of water and some ice.
+
+Sara was confused. She picked up the blouse and saw that it was wet and cold. She wondered what happened to the blouse. She heard Ben laughing behind the tree. He came out and said, "I tricked you, Sara! That was not a real blouse. That was a balloon filled with water and frozen in the freezer. I put it on the clothesline to make you think I was hiding there. But when the sun shone on it, it melted and popped. Ha ha ha!"
+
+Sara was angry and sad. She liked the red blouse. It was her favorite blouse. It was a gift from her grandma. She did not like Ben's trick. She threw the wet blouse at Ben and said, "That was not funny, Ben! That was mean! You ruined my blouse! I don't want to play with you anymore!"
+
+Ben was surprised and sorry. He did not know the blouse was Sara's favorite. He did not know it was a gift from her grandma. He thought it was just a old blouse that no one wanted. He tried to say sorry to Sara, but she ran away crying. She went inside the house and told her mom what Ben did. Her mom was angry too. She scolded Ben and told him to go home. Ben felt bad and ashamed. He wished he did not do the trick. He wished he could make Sara happy again. But he did not know how. He walked home alone and sad. The end.
+Lily and Max are young. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with blocks and books. They zoom their cars on the roads. They make noises like vroom and beep.
+
+One day, Lily and Max find a new car. It is big and shiny. It has a face on the front. The face has eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The face can talk. Lily and Max are surprised.
+
+"Hello, I am Caro," the car says. "I am a friendly car. I can zoom very fast. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Max say. They are happy. They take Caro to their road. They zoom Caro with their other cars. Caro makes funny jokes and songs. Lily and Max laugh.
+
+They have a lot of fun with Caro. They share their cars and blocks and books with Caro. They make Caro a garage with a blanket. They say good night to Caro. They hug Caro.
+
+"Thank you for playing with me," Caro says. "You are very nice. I like you."
+
+"We like you too, Caro," Lily and Max say. "You are our new friend. We will play with you again tomorrow."
+
+They sleep with a smile on their face. They dream of zooming with Caro.
+Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Anna counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!"
+
+Ben runs to a big tree and hides behind it. He thinks Anna will not find him there. He is very quiet and still. He peeks from behind the tree and sees Anna looking around. She does not see him.
+
+Anna walks past the tree and goes to the slide. She thinks Ben might be hiding under it. She bends down and looks. She does not see him. She says, "Where are you, Ben? I can't find you!"
+
+Ben hears Anna and smiles. He thinks he can escape. He waits for Anna to move away from the slide. Then he runs to the swings and hides behind them. He peeks from behind the swings and sees Anna walking to the sandbox. She thinks Ben might be hiding in it. She digs with her hands and looks. She does not see him. She says, "Ben, where are you? This is not fun!"
+
+Ben hears Anna and feels sorry. He does not want to make her sad. He decides to come out of his hiding place. He says, "Anna, I'm here! I'm behind the swings!" He waves his hand and smiles.
+
+Anna hears Ben and turns around. She sees him behind the swings. She runs to him and hugs him. She says, "Ben, I found you! You are a good hider!" She laughs and says, "Do you want to play again? This time you can be the seeker and I can be the hider!"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, let's play again! You count to ten and I will look for you!" He lets go of Anna and says, "Ready, set, go!" He covers his eyes and starts to count. Anna runs to find a new hiding place. They both have fun playing hide and seek.
+Sara liked to dream. She dreamed of many things. She dreamed of flying in the sky, of swimming in the sea, of playing with animals. She dreamed of being a princess, a pirate, a superhero. She dreamed of having fun and being happy.
+
+One night, she had a special dream. She dreamed that she was in a forest. She saw a big bow and a shiny arrow. She picked them up and felt strong and brave. She wanted to try them out. She looked around and saw a target on a tree. She aimed and shot the arrow. It flew fast and hit the target. She smiled and felt proud.
+
+"Wow, that was impressive!" a voice said. Sara turned and saw a boy. He had curly hair and green eyes. He was wearing a hat and a cape. He looked friendly and curious. "Who are you?" he asked.
+
+"I'm Sara. Who are you?" she answered.
+
+"I'm Leo. I'm a dream explorer. I travel to different dreams and meet new friends. Do you want to join me?" he asked.
+
+Sara nodded. She liked Leo. She liked his idea. She wanted to see more dreams and have more adventures. She took his hand and they ran together. They left the forest and entered a new dream. Sara was happy. She had found a new friend and a new game. She hoped to dream of Leo again.
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her pillow. She hugged it and talked to it when she felt lonely or scared. Her pillow was soft and fluffy and had a picture of a unicorn on it. Lily called her pillow Uni.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. They brought a picnic basket and a blanket. Lily brought Uni too. She wanted to show her pillow the flowers and the birds and the swings. But when they got to the park, Lily saw many other kids playing and running and shouting. She felt nervous and hid behind her mom.
+
+"Come on, Lily, don't be shy. You can make some friends here. Look, there's a girl your age who likes unicorns too. Why don't you go and say hello?" her mom said, pointing to a girl with a pink dress and a unicorn hat.
+
+Lily peeked at the girl and saw that she had a big smile and a friendly look. She also saw that she had a unicorn doll in her hand. Lily liked unicorns a lot, but she was still afraid to talk to the girl. She clutched Uni tighter and shook her head.
+
+"Please, Lily, just try. I'm sure she'll be nice to you. And you can share your pillow with her. Maybe she'll let you play with her doll too. You'll have fun, I promise." her dad said, gently nudging her.
+
+Lily took a deep breath and decided to be brave. She walked slowly towards the girl, holding Uni in front of her. The girl saw her and waved.
+
+"Hi, I'm Mia. What's your name?" she asked.
+
+"I'm Lily. This is Uni." Lily said, showing her pillow.
+
+"Wow, Uni is so cute. Can I see?" Mia asked.
+
+Lily nodded and handed her pillow to Mia. Mia grabbed it and hugged it.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. Uni is so soft and fluffy. I love unicorns too. This is Lila." Mia said, showing her doll.
+
+"Lila is pretty. Can I see?" Lily asked.
+
+Mia nodded and handed her doll to Lily. Lily grabbed it and hugged it.
+
+"Thank you, Mia. Lila is so sparkly and colorful. I love unicorns too." Lily said.
+
+The two girls smiled at each other and started to chat. They found out that they had many things in common. They liked the same colors, the same songs, and the same games. They decided to be friends and share their unicorns. They played together on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Lily's mom and dad watched them and smiled. They were happy that Lily had made a friend. They knew that sometimes it was hard for her to be shy, but they also knew that she had a big heart and a lot of imagination. They hoped that she would always find people who appreciated her and her pillow. They packed the picnic basket and the blanket and called Lily and Mia.
+
+"Time to go, girls. Say goodbye to each other." they said.
+
+Lily and Mia hugged and exchanged their unicorns.
+
+"Bye, Lily. I had a great time with you and Uni. Can we play again soon?" Mia asked.
+
+"Bye, Mia. I had a great time with you and Lila. Yes, we can play again soon. Maybe you can come to my house and see my other pillows." Lily said.
+
+They waved and parted ways. Lily felt happy and proud. She had made a friend and shared her pillow. She wasn't so shy anymore. She hugged Uni and Lila and thanked them for helping her. She looked forward to seeing Mia again. She knew that they would have more adventures together. She smiled and walked with her mom and dad. They went home and had a nice dinner. Lily told them all about her day and her new friend. They listened and praised her. They tucked her in bed and kissed her goodnight. Lily cuddled with Uni and Lila and fell asleep. She dreamed of unicorns.
+Tom and Sue like to play in the old house. The old house has many rooms and things to see. But Mom and Dad warn them to stay away from the attic. They say the attic is dark and dusty and has ancient things that can break or hurt.
+
+One day, Tom and Sue are bored. They want to see what is in the attic. They sneak up the stairs and open the door. They see a big box with a lock. They wonder what is inside. They find a paper clip and use it to open the lock. They lift the lid and see many papers and books and pictures.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Tom says. He picks up a paper and shows it to Sue. "It has funny words and drawings. Maybe it is a treasure map!"
+
+Sue grabs a book and opens it. "This book has more funny words and drawings. And it has gold on the cover. Maybe it is magic!"
+
+They do not see the mouse that runs out of the box and chews on a wire. They do not hear the spark that starts a fire. They do not smell the smoke that fills the attic. They are too busy looking at the ancient things.
+
+Soon, the fire grows bigger and hotter. It burns the papers and books and pictures. It burns the box and the lock and the paper clip. It burns the floor and the walls and the roof. It burns Tom and Sue.
+
+Mom and Dad see the smoke and run to the old house. They call for Tom and Sue, but they do not answer. They try to go to the attic, but the stairs are gone. They cry and scream and hug each other.
+
+The old house is gone. Tom and Sue are gone. The ancient things are gone. Only the fire remains.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to share. One day, they find a big, shiny ball in the park. They both want the ball, but there is only one.
+
+"I saw it first!" Ben says.
+
+"No, I did!" Lily says.
+
+They start to pull the ball from each other. The ball is very strong, but Ben and Lily are stronger. They pull and pull until the ball pops. The air goes out of the ball and it becomes small and ugly.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben and Lily say.
+
+They look at the ball and then at each other. They are scared. They know they are in trouble. They do not want their mom and dad to be angry with them.
+
+They run back home with the ball. They hide it under their bed. They hope their mom and dad will not find it.
+
+But their mom and dad are smart. They see the ball is gone from the park. They ask Ben and Lily where the ball is.
+
+Ben and Lily lie. They say they do not know. They say they never saw the ball.
+
+But their mom and dad do not believe them. They look under their bed and they find the ball. They see it is small and ugly.
+
+They are very angry with Ben and Lily. They tell them lying is bad. They tell them they have to say sorry and give the ball back to the park.
+
+Ben and Lily are very sorry. They cry and hug their mom and dad. They say they will not lie again. They say they will share their toys.
+
+They take the ball back to the park. They find a new ball that is big and shiny. They play with it together. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries. They wanted to eat the berries. They were hungry and the berries looked yummy.
+
+But the bush was not in the park. It was in a yard. The yard had a fence and a sign. The sign said "Do not touch. These berries are mine. I own them." Tom and Lily did not know what "own" meant. They did not know what "mine" meant. They did not care. They climbed over the fence and picked some berries.
+
+They ate the berries. They were sweet and juicy. They smiled and laughed. They picked more berries. They did not see the man who lived in the yard. He was angry. He saw them eating his berries. He shouted at them. He ran towards them. He wanted to catch them.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They heard the man. They saw him. They dropped the berries. They ran away. They climbed over the fence. They ran to the park. They were worried. They did not want to get in trouble. They did not want to make the man sad. They did not know they did something bad. They did not understand.
+
+They hugged each other. They said they were sorry. They said they would not do it again. They hoped the man would forgive them. They hoped he had enough berries left. They learned a new word. They learned what "own" meant. They learned to respect what others own. They learned to ask before they take. They learned a lesson.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the bathroom. They liked to pretend they were spies and had secret missions. Lily had a toy gun that could shoot water. Ben had a bottle of shampoo that he said was a bomb.
+
+"Watch out, Lily!" Ben shouted. "The bad guys are coming! We have to stop them!"
+
+Lily grabbed her gun and hid behind the shower curtain. She saw a shadow on the wall. She thought it was a bad guy. She aimed her gun and shot. But it was not a bad guy. It was Mom.
+
+"Ow!" Mom said. "Lily, what are you doing? You shot me in the eye!"
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt Mom. She came out of the hiding place and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was playing spy with Ben. He has a bomb."
+
+Mom looked at Ben. He was holding the shampoo bottle. She was not happy. She said, "That is not a bomb, Ben. That is my shampoo. It is very expensive. You are not supposed to play with it."
+
+Ben felt bad. He did not know the shampoo was expensive. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was playing spy with Lily. We were having fun."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "I know you were having fun, but you have to be careful. You could have hurt yourselves or made a mess. Next time, play with something else. And don't shoot water at me, please."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "OK, Mom. We're sorry."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "It's OK. I love you. Now, let's go and have some cookies."
+Mia and Leo are twins who like to eat cereal for breakfast. They have different bowls and spoons, but they share the same box of cereal. One morning, Mia wakes up first and goes to the kitchen. She pours some cereal into her bowl and adds some milk. She is very hungry and happy.
+
+Leo wakes up a few minutes later and follows Mia to the kitchen. He sees her eating cereal and wants some too. He grabs the box of cereal and tries to pour some into his bowl. But Mia does not want to share. She pulls the box back and says, "No, this is my cereal! You have to wait!"
+
+Leo is angry and sad. He does not understand why Mia is so mean. He says, "Why are you so ignorant? We always share everything! You are not fair!"
+
+Mia and Leo start to fight over the box of cereal. They tug and pull and shout. The box tears and the cereal spills all over the floor. They both stop and look at the mess. They feel sorry and ashamed.
+
+They hear their mom coming down the stairs. She sees the cereal on the floor and the twins with tears in their eyes. She is not happy. She says, "What happened here? Why did you separate the cereal from the box? Why did you waste the food? Why did you fight with each other?"
+
+Mia and Leo do not know what to say. They hug each other and say, "We are sorry, mom. We were ignorant. We love each other and we love cereal. Can we have some more, please?"
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big box in their room. It has a sticker that says "mail". They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Can we open it?" Anna asks.
+
+"Maybe it is a surprise for us," Ben says.
+
+They look at the box. It is too high for them to reach. They try to climb on their bed, but they are still too short. They look at the ceiling. It is white and smooth.
+
+"I have an idea," Anna says. "We can use a chair."
+
+They drag a chair from the kitchen. They put it next to the bed. Anna climbs on the chair. Ben climbs on the bed. They hold hands and stand up. They can touch the box now.
+
+"Ready?" Anna says.
+
+"Ready!" Ben says.
+
+They pull the box down. It is heavy and loud. It falls on the floor. They hear a meow. They open the box. Inside, there is a cat. It is black and white. It has green eyes. It looks at them and purrs.
+
+"Hello, cat," Anna says.
+
+"Hello, cat," Ben says.
+
+The cat jumps out of the box. It rubs against their legs. It is soft and warm. It is friendly.
+
+"Who sent us a cat?" Anna asks.
+
+They look at the sticker. It has a name and an address. It is from their grandma. She lives far away. She likes cats.
+
+"Grandma sent us a cat," Ben says.
+
+"Thank you, grandma," Anna says.
+
+They hug the cat. They give it a name. They call it Spot. They play with Spot. They are happy. They love their grandma. They love their cat. They love their mail.
+Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. They also liked to eat snacks under the big tree. The big tree had many leaves that made shade.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom. It was a hot day. The sun was bright and high in the sky. It was noon. Sam and Mia ran, swung, slid and climbed. They had fun. They got thirsty and hungry.
+
+They went to the big tree to eat their snacks. But when they got there, they saw something bad. There was a fire under the big tree. The fire was big and red and angry. It made smoke and noise. It burned the leaves and the grass. It spread to the other trees and the flowers.
+
+Sam and Mia were scared. They cried. They ran to their mom. Their mom was scared too. She called for help. She took Sam and Mia away from the park. They saw the fire trucks and the firefighters come. They heard the sirens and the hoses.
+
+But it was too late. The fire was too big and too fast. It burned the whole park. It burned the big tree and the swings and the slides and the climbs. It burned their snacks and their toys. Sam and Mia were sad. They lost their favorite place to play. They wished the fire never happened. They wished they could go back to the park. But they couldn't. The end.
+Sara likes to help daddy in the garden. She likes to dig and plant and water the flowers. Daddy says they will grow big and pretty. Sara wants to grow big and pretty too.
+
+One day, Sara sees daddy holding a big ruler. He puts it on the wall and makes a mark. He says, "This is how tall I am. Do you want to see how tall you are?" Sara nods and stands next to the wall. Daddy puts the ruler on her head and makes another mark. He says, "You are this tall. You have grown a lot since last time. You are a big girl now."
+
+Sara smiles and hugs daddy. She says, "Thank you, daddy. I want to grow more and more. I want to be as tall as you." Daddy laughs and says, "You will, my dear. But you don't have to hurry. You have plenty of time to grow. And you are already very pretty. Just like your mommy."
+
+Sara says, "Mommy is very pretty. But she is very thin. Why is she so thin, daddy?" Daddy says, "Mommy is thin because she is sick. She has a bad bug in her body that makes her weak and tired. But the doctor is giving her medicine to make her better. And we are giving her love and care to make her happy."
+
+Sara says, "I love mommy. I want her to be better. Can I help her, daddy?" Daddy says, "Of course, you can. You can help her by being a good girl, by listening to her, by playing with her, by making her laugh, by giving her hugs and kisses. You can help her by being you. You are the best medicine for mommy."
+
+Sara says, "Okay, daddy. I will do that. I will be the best medicine for mommy. And I will help you in the garden too. Maybe the flowers will make mommy happy too. Maybe they will help her grow strong and healthy too." Daddy says, "That's a wonderful idea, Sara. You are a very smart and kind girl. I love you very much." Sara says, "I love you too, daddy.

+Lily and Ben went to the big water park with their mom and dad. They saw many animals that lived in the water, like fish, turtles, and seals. But their favorite was the dolphin show. They sat on the high seats and watched the dolphins jump and splash and make funny noises.
+
+"Wow, look at that one!" Ben said, pointing at a dolphin that did a high flip in the air. "He is so cool!"
+
+"I like that one too!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "She is so pretty!"
+
+The dolphins came close to the edge of the pool and waved their fins at the people. Some people had fish to feed them. Lily and Ben wanted to feed them too, but they did not have any fish.
+
+"Mom, can we feed the dolphins?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sorry, honey, we don't have any fish," Mom said. "But maybe we can do something else."
+
+She looked at a sign that said "Dolphin Encounter". It showed a picture of a person touching a dolphin in the water.
+
+"Look, kids, do you want to try this?" Mom asked. "You can go in the water and meet a dolphin. They are very friendly and smart. They might even give you a kiss!"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and nodded. They wanted to meet a dolphin.
+
+"OK, let's go then," Dad said. "But first, we have to put on these suits. They will keep us warm and safe in the water."
+
+They followed a lady who gave them suits and helmets. She also gave them some rules to follow.
+
+"Be gentle and calm with the dolphins," she said. "Don't pull their fins or tails. Don't make loud noises. And don't forget to smile and have fun!"
+
+She led them to a pool where two dolphins were waiting. They were named Max and Mia. They swam up to Lily and Ben and said hello with their squeaks and clicks.
+
+"Hi, Max and Mia!" Lily and Ben said. "We are happy to meet you!"
+
+They touched the dolphins' smooth skin and felt their breath on their faces. The dolphins nudged them with their noses and played with them. They even gave them kisses on their cheeks.
+
+Lily and Ben laughed and hugged the dolphins. They felt like they made new friends.
+
+They thanked the lady and the dolphins for the encounter. They also thanked their mom and dad for the surprise.
+
+"That was the best thing ever!" Lily said.
+
+"I agree!" Ben said. "I recommend it to everyone!"
+
+They waved goodbye to the dolphins and left the pool. They had a wonderful day at the water park. They learned a lot about the animals that lived in the water. But most of all, they learned to love the dolphins.
+Lily and Mom went to the store in the car. Mom drove the car. Lily liked to look out the window and see the trees and the birds and the houses. She saw a big red truck and a yellow bus and a blue bike.
+
+When they got to the store, Mom parked the car and said, "Lily, stay here. I need to get some coffee. I will be back soon. Do not open the door or the window. OK?"
+
+Lily said, "OK, Mom. I will wait for you." She watched Mom go into the store. She saw a sign that said "Open". She wondered what was inside the store. Maybe there were toys or books or candy.
+
+Lily felt bored. She wanted to play with something. She saw a button on the car. It looked shiny and fun. She reached for it and pushed it. The car made a loud noise. Lily was scared. She pushed the button again. The noise stopped.
+
+Lily saw Mom come out of the store. She had a bag and a cup. She looked angry. She opened the car door and said, "Lily, what did you do? You honked the horn. You scared me and everyone else. You did not listen to me. You were not a good girl."
+
+Lily felt sad. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was bored. I wanted to play. I did not know what the button did."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "Lily, I know you were bored. But you have to be careful. The button is for emergencies. It is not a toy. You have to listen to me when I tell you something. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, Mom. I will listen to you. I will not push the button again."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. I love you. Do you want some coffee? It is hot and sweet."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, please, Mom. I love you too. And I love coffee."
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. Tom liked to order Lily around and tell her what to do.
+
+"Move your doll, Lily. She is in the way of my truck. I want to drive it on the carpet," Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom. My doll is having a tea party. She is not in the way. You can drive your truck somewhere else," Lily said.
+
+Tom did not like that. He wanted to drive his truck wherever he wanted. He was angry at Lily and her doll. He had a bad idea. He grabbed a pair of scissors from the table and sneaked behind Lily.
+
+Lily did not see Tom. She was busy talking to her doll. She pretended to pour tea and give cookies. She was happy and did not hear Tom coming.
+
+Tom reached Lily and cut her doll's hair with the scissors. He cut it very short and made it look ugly. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, look at your doll now. She has no hair. She is not pretty anymore."
+
+Lily turned around and saw what Tom had done. She was shocked and sad. She loved her doll and her hair. She started to cry and said, "Tom, why did you do that? You are mean and bad. You ruined my doll. I hate you."
+
+Tom felt sorry for what he had done. He saw Lily crying and realized he had hurt her feelings. He wished he had not cut her doll's hair. He wished he had been nice and flexible. He wanted to make Lily happy again.
+
+He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should not have cut your doll's hair. I should have let you play with her. I was not flexible. I was selfish. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sorry. She stopped crying and said, "Tom, I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never cut my doll's hair again. And you have to promise me that you will be flexible and share your toys with me. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. I will never cut your doll's hair again. And I will be flexible and share my toys with you. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom. We can be friends again. Come on, let's play together. Maybe we can find a wig for my doll. Or maybe we can pretend she is a superhero with short hair."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged and played together. They learned a lesson. They learned that it is better to be flexible and kind than to order and cut. They learned that friendship is more important than toys. They were happy.
+Tim and Lily were very excited to see the big turkey on the table. It was Thanksgiving, and their grandma had cooked a delicious meal for the whole family. They wanted to try some of the turkey, but they had to wait until everyone was seated and said thank you.
+
+"Can we have some turkey now, please?" Tim asked, looking at his plate.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie," grandma said. "First, we have to applaud your sister. She has something to show us."
+
+Tim and Lily looked at their sister, Anna, who was holding a paper in her hand. She was smiling and looked very proud.
+
+"What is it, Anna?" Lily asked.
+
+"It's a poem I wrote for Thanksgiving," Anna said. "I want to read it to you all."
+
+Anna cleared her throat and read her poem. It was about how thankful she was for her family, her friends, and her home. She used some rhyming words and some funny words. She made everyone laugh and smile.
+
+When she finished, everyone clapped their hands and cheered. Tim and Lily joined in and applauded their sister. They thought she was very clever and kind.
+
+"Wow, Anna, that was amazing!" Tim said. "You are a great poet!"
+
+"Thank you, Tim," Anna said. "You are a great brother!"
+
+"I loved your poem, Anna," Lily said. "You are a great sister!"
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Anna said. "You are a great sister, too!"
+
+Grandma hugged Anna and kissed her cheek. She said she was very proud of her and that she had a special gift. She said she was also proud of Tim and Lily for being supportive and respectful.
+
+"Thank you, grandma," Anna said. "You are the best grandma ever!"
+
+"Thank you, grandma," Tim and Lily said. "You are the best grandma ever, too!"
+
+Grandma smiled and said they were all adorable. She said they could have some turkey now, and everyone cheered again. They enjoyed the meal and had a wonderful time together.

+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big bookcase. The bookcase is brown and tall. It has many shelves.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben are bored. They want to have some fun. They look at the bookcase. They see a cute book. The book has a picture of a dog on the cover. The dog is white and fluffy. It has a red collar.
+
+"Look, Ben, a dog book!" Sara says. "Let's read it!"
+
+"OK, Sara, let's read it!" Ben says. They rush to the bookcase. They want to get the book. But the book is on the top shelf. They are too small to reach it.
+
+They have an idea. They get a chair. They put the chair near the bookcase. They climb on the chair. They stretch their arms. They try to get the book.
+
+But they are not careful. They push the bookcase. The bookcase wobbles. The books fall. The chair falls. Sara and Ben fall. They make a loud noise.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She runs to their room. She sees the mess. She sees Sara and Ben on the floor. They are not hurt. But they are scared.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks. She is not happy.
+
+"S-sorry, Mom," Sara says. "We wanted to read the dog book."
+
+"We didn't mean to make a mess," Ben says.
+
+Mom sighs. She helps them up. She hugs them. She is glad they are OK.
+
+"Next time, ask me for help," Mom says. "Don't climb on the bookcase. It's not safe."
+
+"Yes, Mom," Sara and Ben say. They are sorry.
+
+Mom picks up the dog book. She gives it to them.
+
+"Here, you can read the dog book," Mom says. "But first, help me clean up."
+
+"OK, Mom," Sara and Ben say. They smile. They are happy.
+
+They help Mom clean up. Then they sit on the couch. They read the dog book. They learn about the dog. They like the dog. They think the dog is cute. They thank Mom for the book.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with red fruits. Lily said, "Look, Ben, cherries! I love cherries. Can we pick some?"
+
+Ben nodded and ran to the tree. He was very flexible. He could climb up and down the branches. He picked some cherries and threw them to Lily. Lily caught them in her basket. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very good at climbing."
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big bird. It had black feathers and a yellow beak. It was hungry. It wanted to eat the cherries. It flew to the tree and tried to snatch the cherries from Ben's hand.
+
+Ben was scared. He shouted, "Help, Lily, help! The bird is trying to take my cherries!"
+
+Lily saw the bird. She was brave. She had an idea. She took a cherry from her basket and threw it to the bird. The bird saw the cherry and chased it. It left Ben alone.
+
+Ben quickly climbed down the tree. He ran to Lily and hugged her. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You saved me and my cherries. You are very smart and kind."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are my best friend. Let's share the cherries. They are very sweet and juicy."
+
+They sat under the tree and ate the cherries. They were very happy. They did not see the bird again.
+Anna liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a red plane. She liked to make the plane fly in the air and make zoom sounds. She was very happy with her plane.
+
+One day, Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a blue plane. The boy's plane was bigger and had lights and sounds. Anna wanted to play with the blue plane. She walked to the boy and said, "Can I borrow your plane?"
+
+The boy looked at Anna and shook his head. He said, "No, this is my plane. You can't borrow it. Go away." He hugged his plane and turned away from Anna.
+
+Anna felt sad and angry. She wanted the blue plane very much. She thought the boy was mean and selfish. She decided to take the blue plane when the boy was not looking. She waited for a moment and then grabbed the blue plane and ran away.
+
+The boy saw Anna and shouted, "Hey, that's my plane! Give it back!" He chased after Anna and tried to get his plane back. Anna ran faster and faster, but the boy was faster too. He caught up with Anna and pulled the blue plane from her hands. He said, "You are a bad girl. You can't take my plane. That's stealing, not borrowing."
+
+Anna felt embarrassed and scared. She knew she did something wrong. She did not want to steal the boy's plane. She wanted to borrow it and play with it. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to play with your plane. It's so nice and cool. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+The boy looked at Anna and saw that she was sorry. He felt a little sorry for her too. He said, "It's okay, I forgive you. But you have to ask before you borrow something. And you have to give it back when you are done. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for forgiving me. Can we be friends?"
+
+The boy smiled and said, "Sure, we can be friends. Do you want to play with my plane together?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Yes, I would love that. Can I show you my red plane too?"
+
+The boy said, "Yes, I would like to see your red plane. Maybe we can make them fly together and have a race."
+
+Anna and the boy went to a grassy spot and played with their planes. They had fun and shared their planes. They learned to borrow and not to steal. They became good friends. Anna was happy with her red plane and the boy's blue plane. She was not embarrassed anymore. She was proud of herself.
+Lily liked to play with her toys, but she did not like to eat her food. She was stubborn and always said no when her mom asked her to finish her plate. She only wanted to eat cake and candy, not carrots and peas.
+
+One day, her mom had a surprise for her. She said, "Lily, I have a special plate for you today. It has something you will love. But you have to eat your food first, or it will disappear." Lily was curious and looked at her plate. She saw some carrots and peas, but also a big slice of cake. She wanted the cake, but she did not want the carrots and peas.
+
+She decided to try a trick. She hid the carrots and peas under her napkin and said, "Look, mom, I ate my food. Can I have the cake now?" Her mom smiled and said, "Okay, Lily, you can have the cake. But first, let me see your plate." She lifted the napkin and saw the carrots and peas. She said, "Lily, you did not eat your food. You were naughty and lied to me. Now you cannot have the cake."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She cried and said, "But I want the cake! I want the cake!" Her mom said, "No, Lily, you have to eat your food first. That is the rule. If you do not eat your food, the cake will disappear." Lily did not believe her mom. She thought she was bluffing. She said, "No, it will not. The cake will stay. You are lying to me."
+
+But then, something strange happened. The cake on her plate started to fade. It became lighter and lighter, until it was gone. It disappeared, just like her mom said. Lily was shocked and scared. She said, "Mom, where did the cake go? What happened to the cake?" Her mom said, "The cake disappeared, Lily, because you did not eat your food. You were stubborn and did not listen to me. That is what happens when you do not follow the rules. Maybe next time, you will eat your food and be a good girl."
+
+Lily learned her lesson. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I will eat my food and be a good girl. Please, can I have some cake?" Her mom said, "Maybe later, Lily, if you eat your food and behave. But for now, you have to finish your plate. No more tricks, okay?" Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. No more tricks. I will eat my food and finish my plate." She ate her carrots and peas, and hoped that the cake would appear again.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir the soup with a big spoon. She liked to smell the yummy food. She liked to wear her mom's apron and skirt.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new girl in the park. The girl was chubby and had curly hair. She wore a pink dress and a bow. Lily wanted to play with her, but she was shy.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily," she said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The girl smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Rose. Yes, I want to play with you. What do you like to do?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I like to help my mom in the kitchen. I like to stir the soup with a big spoon. Do you like to cook?"
+
+Rose nodded and said, "I like to cook, too. I like to bake cookies and cakes with my dad. He has a big oven and a mixer. Do you want to come to my house and bake with me?"
+
+Lily was happy and said, "Yes, I want to come to your house and bake with you. That sounds fun!"
+
+Lily and Rose became good friends. They played and cooked together. They shared their food and their stories. They learned that they had a lot in common. They learned that it doesn't matter how you look, but how you act. They learned to be kind and friendly to everyone. They learned that stirring soup and baking cookies can make you happy.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big storm in the sky. The storm was dark and loud. It made them scared.
+
+"Let's go home," Lily said. "The storm is coming."
+
+"Wait," Tom said. "I want to take this ball. It is shiny and red. I like it."
+
+"But that is not your ball," Lily said. "That is Sam's ball. He left it here. You cannot steal it. That is bad."
+
+"I don't care," Tom said. "I want it. It is mine now." He took the ball and ran away.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not like Tom anymore. She thought he was mean and selfish. She ran after him and shouted, "Give it back! Give it back!"
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran faster and faster. He did not see the big puddle in front of him. He slipped and fell. The ball flew out of his hands and rolled away. The storm was very close. It started to rain. The rain was cold and bitter. It soaked Tom and the ball.
+
+Lily caught up with Tom. She saw him lying on the ground. He was wet and dirty. He was crying. He looked sorry.
+
+"Are you okay?" Lily asked.
+
+"No," Tom said. "I hurt my knee. And I lost the ball. And I was wrong. I should not have stolen it. I am sorry."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tom. She helped him get up. She gave him a hug. She said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to say sorry to Sam too. And you have to be nice and share from now on."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I will. I promise. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend."
+
+They held hands and walked home. The storm was still loud and dark. But they were not scared anymore. They had each other.
+Ben and Lily like to play golf with Dad. Dad has a big bag with many sticks. He lets Ben and Lily choose one stick each. Ben picks a long stick. Lily picks a short stick.
+
+They go to a big field with holes and flags. Dad shows them how to hit the ball with the stick. He says, "You have to swing the stick and hit the ball hard. Try to make the ball go into the hole with the flag."
+
+Ben goes first. He swings the stick and hits the ball. The ball flies in the air and lands far away. Ben is happy. He says, "Wow, I hit the ball so far!"
+
+Lily goes next. She swings the stick and hits the ball. The ball rolls on the ground and stops near a hole. Lily is happy. She says, "Look, I hit the ball so close!"
+
+Dad goes last. He swings the stick and hits the ball. The ball goes into the air and then comes down. But it does not land on the field. It lands on a tree. The tree has thick leaves and branches. The ball is stuck in the tree. Dad is not happy. He says, "Oh no, I lost my ball!"
+
+Ben and Lily laugh. They say, "Don't worry, Dad. We can find another ball. We still have fun. We enjoy playing golf with you!"
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pile of leaves and wanted to jump in it.
+
+"Look, Ben, leaves!" Lila said. "Let's go!"
+
+They ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves in the air. They felt something hard under the leaves. It was a twig.
+
+"Ow, what is this?" Ben said. He picked up the twig and looked at it. It was long and brown and had a sharp point.
+
+"Maybe it is a sword," Lila said. "You can use it to fight bad guys."
+
+Ben liked that idea. He waved the twig like a sword and made noises. "Zap, zap, take that, bad guy!"
+
+Lila wanted to play too. She looked for another twig, but she could not find one. She saw a shiny thing under the leaves. It was a knife.
+
+"Look, Lila, a knife!" Ben said. "You can use it to fight bad guys too."
+
+Lila reached for the knife, but Ben stopped her. He remembered what his mom had told him.
+
+"No, Lila, no!" Ben said. "That is a dangerous thing. You can get hurt. Mom said we should not touch knives. We should tell a grown-up."
+
+Lila was scared. She did not want to get hurt. She dropped the knife and hugged Ben.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Lila said. "I did not know. Thank you for stopping me."
+
+Ben hugged Lila back. He was glad he had listened to his mom.
+
+"It's okay, Lila," Ben said. "Let's go find a grown-up and tell them about the knife. Then we can play with something else."
+
+They left the pile of leaves and looked for a grown-up. They saw a lady with a dog. They ran to her and told her about the knife. The lady thanked them and took the knife away. She gave them a sticker and a treat.
+
+Lila and Ben were happy. They had done the right thing. They decided to play with the dog instead. They had fun and forgot about the knife and the twig. They were good friends.
+Mia and Sam were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw animals and houses and flowers. Mia had a pink crayon and Sam had a blue one.
+
+"Look, I made a pig!" Mia said, showing her paper to Sam. "It has a curly tail and a big nose."
+
+"That's nice," Sam said. "I made a fish. It has fins and scales and a mouth."
+
+They smiled at each other and kept drawing. They were having fun.
+
+But then, Sam's crayon broke. It snapped in half and fell on the floor. Sam was sad. He liked his blue crayon. He wanted to draw more fish.
+
+"Oh no, my crayon!" Sam said. He picked up the pieces and tried to put them together. But they did not stick.
+
+Mia saw Sam's face. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him.
+
+"Here, you can have my pink crayon," Mia said. She gave her crayon to Sam. "You can draw with it. I don't need it."
+
+Sam looked at Mia's crayon. He did not like pink. He liked blue. He did not want to draw with pink.
+
+"Thank you, but I don't want it," Sam said. He pushed the crayon away. "I want my blue crayon. It was the best crayon."
+
+Mia was hurt. She had tried to be nice. She had given her crayon to Sam. But he did not want it. He did not say thank you. He was mean.
+
+Mia took her crayon back. She turned away from Sam. She did not want to play with him anymore.
+
+They both sighed. They were not happy. They missed their crayons. They missed their fun.
+
+Then, they saw something on the table. It was a bottle of ink. It was light blue. It looked like water. It looked like fun.
+
+"Hey, what's that?" Sam said. He pointed at the bottle.
+
+"I don't know," Mia said. She looked at the bottle.
+
+They got up and walked to the table. They picked up the bottle. They opened the lid. They saw the ink inside.
+
+"Wow, it's blue!" Sam said. He smiled. He liked blue.
+
+"Wow, it's light!" Mia said. She smiled. She liked light.
+
+They poured some ink on their papers. They dipped their fingers in the ink. They made dots and lines and shapes. They made new animals and houses and flowers. They made a mess.
+
+They laughed and giggled. They were having fun.
+
+They forgot about their crayons. They forgot about their sadness. They forgot about their meanness.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They were friends again.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. Some cars are fast, some cars are big, some cars are shiny.
+
+One day, they find a new car in their toy box. It is a luxury car. It is red and shiny and has four doors. It looks like the car that their dad drives. Anna and Ben are very happy. They want to play with the luxury car.
+
+"Let me drive the luxury car!" Anna says. She grabs the car and zooms it on the floor.
+
+"No, let me drive the luxury car!" Ben says. He tries to take the car from Anna.
+
+"Stop! You are hurting me!" Anna says. She pulls the car back.
+
+"Stop! You are breaking the car!" Ben says. He pushes Anna away.
+
+Anna and Ben start to cry. They are angry and sad. They both want the luxury car.
+
+Their mom hears them cry. She comes to their room. She sees the luxury car and the twins.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asks. She picks up the luxury car and looks at it.
+
+"Mom, we found this luxury car in our toy box. It is so cool. We both want to play with it. But Anna won't let me drive it. She is mean!" Ben says.
+
+"Mom, we found this luxury car in our toy box. It is so pretty. We both want to play with it. But Ben won't let me drive it. He is rude!" Anna says.
+
+Mom sighs. She knows that the luxury car is a gift from their dad. He bought it for them to share. He wanted them to have fun and be safe.
+
+"Anna and Ben, listen to me. This luxury car is a special car. It is a gift from your dad. He loves you very much. He wants you to be happy and safe. He wants you to share the luxury car. Sharing is caring. Can you do that?" Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They love their dad. They love their mom. They love their luxury car. They love each other.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We can share the luxury car. We are sorry. We are not mean or rude. We are twins. We are friends." Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles. She hugs them and gives them the luxury car.
+
+"Good. I am proud of you. Now, you can take turns to drive the luxury car. You can zoom it on the floor, on the couch, on the bed. But be careful. Don't crash it. Don't hurt yourself. Don't hurt each other. Have fun and be safe." Mom says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. We will. We love you." Anna and Ben say.
+
+They take turns to drive the luxury car. They zoom it around the room. They make car noises. They laugh and giggle. They have fun and are safe. They are happy twins.
+One day, a girl named Mia went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to play on it. She ran to the slide and waited for her turn.
+
+"Look, mom, look!" she said. "I can go very fast on the slide!"
+
+But when she got to the top of the slide, she saw another girl who was crying. The girl had a teddy bear in her arms, but it was missing an eye.
+
+"What's wrong?" Mia asked the girl.
+
+"My teddy is broken," the girl said. "He lost his eye and now he can't see."
+
+Mia felt sorry for the girl. She remembered that she had a spare button in her pocket. She took it out and showed it to the girl.
+
+"Here, you can have this," she said. "It can be a new eye for your teddy. Then he can see again."
+
+The girl smiled and thanked Mia. She took the button and sewed it on her teddy's face. Then she hugged her teddy and Mia.
+
+"You are very generous," the girl said. "You are a good friend."
+
+Mia was happy that she helped the girl. She and the girl went down the slide together and played in the park. They had a lot of fun and became friends. Mia's mom was proud of her daughter.
+
+"Look, mom, look!" Mia said. "I made a new friend and I shared my button!"
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a brush. They use the brush to comb their hair and to paint pictures.
+
+One day, they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She says, "Anna, Ben, it is time for lunch. Come downstairs, please."
+
+Anna and Ben do not answer. They are busy with their brush. Anna is painting a flower on a paper. Ben is combing his teddy bear's hair. They want to finish their work.
+
+Their mom knocks again. She says, "Anna, Ben, I am waiting for you. Come on, hurry up."
+
+Anna and Ben still do not answer. They are almost done with their brush. Anna is adding some leaves to her flower. Ben is making a bow for his teddy bear. They think their work is very beautiful.
+
+Their mom opens the door. She sees Anna and Ben with their brush. She smiles. She says, "Oh, I see. You are very creative with your brush. But you should also answer me when I call you. It is not polite to ignore me."
+
+Anna and Ben look at their mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not hear you. We were too busy with our brush. Can we show you our work?"
+
+Their mom nods. She says, "Of course, you can. But first, let's go and have some lunch. You must be hungry after working so hard with your brush."
+
+Anna and Ben agree. They put down their brush. They take their mom's hand. They go downstairs. They have a nice lunch. They talk about their work with their brush. Their mom praises them. They feel happy.
+
+After lunch, they go back to their room. They show their mom their work with their brush. Their mom hangs Anna's flower on the wall. She puts Ben's teddy bear on the bed. She hugs them. She says, "You are very talented with your brush. I am proud of you. Now, let's have a nap. You need some rest after working so hard with your brush."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They lie down on their bed. They close their eyes. They feel peaceful. They dream about their work with their brush. They love their brush.
+Sam and Mia were twins who liked to draw. They had many crayons and papers to make pictures of anything they wanted. One day, they decided to draw a landscape, which is a big picture of what you see outside.
+
+They looked out the window and saw trees, hills, clouds, and birds. They each took a paper and started to draw. Sam drew green trees, blue hills, white clouds, and yellow birds. Mia drew purple trees, pink hills, orange clouds, and red birds.
+
+"Look at my landscape!" Sam said. "It is very pretty and real."
+
+"Look at my landscape!" Mia said. "It is very weird and fun."
+
+They showed each other their drawings and laughed. They liked how different they were.
+
+"Let's wrap them and give them to Mom and Dad!" Sam said. "They will like them too."
+
+"Good idea!" Mia said. "They will be happy and surprised."
+
+They found some old newspapers and tape and wrapped their drawings. They wrote their names on them and put them on the table. Then they ran to find Mom and Dad and tell them they had a gift for them.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to touch different things and feel their textures. They felt the soft grass, the rough bark, the smooth slide and the bumpy rocks.
+
+"Look, there is a big gate!" Lily said. "It is open. I wonder what is behind it."
+
+Ben followed her. He saw a sign that said "Do not enter. Danger." He felt scared.
+
+"Lily, we should not go there. It is not safe. The sign says so." Ben said.
+
+Lily did not listen. She was curious. She said "I dare you to come with me. Are you a chicken?"
+
+Ben did not want to be a chicken. He wanted to be brave. He said "OK, I dare you to go first. Then I will follow you."
+
+Lily nodded. She walked through the open gate. She saw a big hole in the ground. She did not see the rope that was around it. She tripped on the rope and fell into the hole. She screamed.
+
+Ben heard her scream. He ran to the gate. He saw the hole and the rope. He saw Lily at the bottom of the hole. She was not moving. He cried.
+
+He wanted to help her. He wanted to call for help. But he did not know how. He was alone. He was scared. He wished he had not dared her. He wished they had not gone through the open gate. He wished they had stayed in the park.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the old house. They liked to find new rooms and things. But they were scared of the basement. They heard noises and stories about a ghost.
+
+One day, they found a key on the floor. It was shiny and big. Lily wanted to see what it could unlock. Ben was not sure. He said, "Maybe we should not. It could be the ghost's key."
+
+Lily said, "Don't be silly. There is no ghost. Let's try it." She took the key and ran to the basement door. She put the key in the lock and turned it. The door opened with a creak.
+
+Lily and Ben looked inside. It was dark and cold. They saw a lot of boxes and old things. They also saw something different. It was white and floaty. It had eyes and a mouth. It was the ghost!
+
+The ghost saw them and said, "Boo!" Lily and Ben screamed and ran away. They dropped the key and slammed the door. They never went to the old house again. They learned to be careful with keys and locks. And they learned that ghosts are real.
+Lily liked to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her doll, she danced with her cat, she danced with her mom. She was happy when she danced.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big purple pepper on a slide. She wanted to dance with the pepper. She ran to the slide and said, "Hello, pepper! Do you want to dance with me?"
+
+The pepper did not say anything. It just looked at Lily with a mean face. It did not want to dance with Lily. It wanted to slide down the slide. It pushed Lily away and said, "Go away, little girl! This is my slide! You can't dance here!"
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not like the pepper. She wanted to dance with the pepper, but the pepper was rude and mean. She said, "You are a bad pepper! You are not nice! You can't push me! I can dance wherever I want!"
+
+The pepper laughed and said, "You are a silly girl! You can't dance with a pepper! You are too small and weak! I can push you and slide and you can't do anything!"
+
+Lily felt hurt and scared. She did not know what to do. She looked around and saw her mom. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "Mom, there is a bad pepper on the slide! It pushed me and said mean things! I don't like the pepper!"
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "Don't worry, Lily. The pepper is not real. It is just a toy. Someone left it on the slide. It can't hurt you or talk to you. You can dance with anything you want, as long as you are kind and respectful. Do you want to dance with me?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom! I want to dance with you! You are the best! I love you!"
+
+They held hands and danced together. They danced in the park, they danced on the grass, they danced under the sun. They were happy when they danced.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big frame in the closet. The frame is brown and has a picture of a hairy bear inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. "The bear is so big and scary!"
+
+"Let me see!" Sam says. He tries to take the frame from Tim, but Tim holds it tight.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tim says. "I found it first!"
+
+They both pull on the frame and struggle. The frame is heavy and hard to hold. They make a lot of noise and mess.
+
+"Boys, what are you doing?" Mom says. She comes into the room and sees the frame and the toys on the floor. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop fighting over the frame!" Mom says. "It's not a toy, it's a gift for your uncle. He likes bears and he is coming to visit us tomorrow. You have to be nice and share your things with him."
+
+Tim and Sam feel sorry. They let go of the frame and hug each other.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they say. "We didn't know. We like uncle too. Can we help you wrap the frame?"
+
+Mom smiles and nods. She gives them some paper and tape. They wrap the frame together and put a bow on it. They are proud of their gift and can't wait to see uncle. They hope he will like the hairy bear.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and read books. Sara has a new book. It is big and colorful. She wants to show it to Tom.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a new book!" Sara says. "It has many pictures and stories. Do you want to see?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom says. He likes books too. He goes to Sara's house. Sara shows him her book. They sit on the floor and look at the pages.
+
+"This book is so nice!" Tom says. "Can I have it?"
+
+"No, you can't have it!" Sara says. "It is my book. I got it from my mom. You can look at it, but you can't have it."
+
+"But I want it!" Tom says. He is angry. He tries to take the book from Sara. Sara holds the book tight. They pull and tug. The book rips. The pages fall out. The cover breaks.
+
+"Look what you did!" Sara cries. "You broke my book! You are a bad friend! Go away!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara!" Tom says. He feels sad. He likes Sara. He did not mean to break her book. He wants to fix it. But Sara does not listen. She pushes him out of the door. She slams the door. She hugs the broken book. She cries.
+
+Tom walks home. He has no book. He has no friend. He cries too.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big hill with many flowers and trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they ran towards the hill.
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful. The hill is very high and steep." Lily said. She followed Tom and they climbed the hill. They saw many bugs, birds and rocks on the way. They also found a shiny coin on the ground. Tom put it in his pocket and said, "Look, Lily, I found a treasure!"
+
+They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a big lake with ducks and fish. They saw a bridge with cars and bikes. They saw a house with a dog and a cat. They saw a lot of things they had never seen before.
+
+"Wow, Tom, this is amazing! We are so high and we can see so much!" Lily said. She was very happy and excited.
+
+"Yes, Lily, this is mighty! We are mighty explorers!" Tom said. He was very proud and happy.
+
+They lay down on the grass and watched the sky. They saw clouds, sun and stars. They felt the wind, the warmth and the peace. They smiled and hugged each other. They were very happy and tired.
+
+They lay on the hill until it was dark. Then they heard their mom calling them.
+
+"Tom! Lily! Where are you? It's time to go home!" Mom said. She was worried and angry.
+
+Tom and Lily got up and ran down the hill. They saw their mom waiting for them at the park gate. They ran to her and said, "Sorry, mom, we were playing on the hill. We saw a lot of things and we had a lot of fun. We are mighty explorers!"
+
+Mom looked at them and saw their dirty clothes, their scratched knees and their bright eyes. She was still worried and angry, but she was also glad and proud. She hugged them and said, "You are mighty explorers, but you are also naughty children. Next time, you have to tell me where you are going and come back on time. Now, let's go home and have some dinner. I love you, my mighty explorers!"
+
+Tom and Lily said, "We love you too, mom!" They showed her the coin they found and told her all about their adventure. They walked home with mom and had a nice dinner. They went to bed and dreamed of the hill, the lake and the sky. They were mighty explorers and happy children.
+Mia was sad. She had a big boo-boo on her knee. She fell down when she was playing with her bike. It hurt a lot and it was red and wet. She cried and cried.
+
+Mom came and saw Mia. She said, "Oh, no, what happened, Mia? Come here, let me see your boo-boo." She picked up Mia and hugged her. She comforted her and said, "It's okay, Mia. It's just a boo-boo. It will get better soon. I have something to make you feel better."
+
+Mom took Mia to the kitchen. She got a band-aid and a wet cloth. She cleaned Mia's boo-boo and put the band-aid on it. She said, "There, now it's clean and safe. Does it feel better?" Mia nodded and smiled a little. She said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom said, "You're welcome, Mia. You are very brave. Do you want a snack?" Mia said, "Yes, please. What do you have?" Mom said, "I have some olives. Do you like olives?" Mia said, "Yes, I love olives. They are yummy and green." Mom said, "Me too. Here, have some olives. They are good for you." She gave Mia a bowl of olives and a glass of water.
+
+Mia ate the olives and drank the water. She felt much better. She said, "Mom, you are so nice. You make me happy." Mom said, "I'm glad, Mia. You make me happy too. You are my sweet girl." They hugged and kissed. They were happy.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to go to the museum with their mom. They liked to see the big animals and the old things. But they did not like to share their snacks. Mom always gave them each a bag of crackers and a juice box, but they always wanted more.
+
+One day, they went to the museum and saw a new exhibit. It was about people who lived long ago and made things from stone and wood. They had tools and weapons and clothes and pots. Tim and Lily thought they were cool and wanted to touch them, but mom said no.
+
+"Those are not toys, they are very old and important. You can only look at them, not touch them," mom said.
+
+"But mom, they look so fun!" Tim said.
+
+"Yeah, and they look tough, too. I bet they could break our crackers," Lily said.
+
+They kept walking and saw more things. They saw a big skeleton of a dinosaur, a shiny car, and a painting of a lady. They liked them all, but they were getting hungry. They asked mom if they could have their snacks.
+
+"Not yet, sweeties. We have to find a place to sit and eat. There are no tables here," mom said.
+
+Tim and Lily were not happy. They wanted their snacks now. They started to whine and cry. Mom tried to calm them down, but they did not listen. They pulled on her arms and legs and made a lot of noise.
+
+"Please, stop it, you two. You are making a scene. We will have our snacks soon, I promise. Just be patient," mom said.
+
+But Tim and Lily did not care. They were too hungry and angry. They saw a bench near a glass case. They ran to it and climbed on it. They opened their bags and took out their crackers and juice boxes. They started to eat and drink, but they were not careful. They spilled their juice on the floor and threw their crackers at each other. Some of the crackers hit the glass case and made a loud sound.
+
+"Hey, stop that! You are not allowed to eat here! And you are not allowed to touch the case!" a man shouted. He was a guard who worked at the museum. He saw Tim and Lily and ran to them. He was very mad.
+
+Tim and Lily were scared. They dropped their snacks and tried to hide behind the bench. But the guard saw them and grabbed them by their arms. He took them to mom, who was looking for them.
+
+"I'm sorry, sir. They are my children. They were hungry and they ran away from me. I didn't know they were eating here," mom said.
+
+"Well, they were. And they made a mess. And they almost broke the case. Do you know what's inside the case? It's a very rare and valuable artifact. It's a stone axe that was used by the first people who lived here. It's one of a kind. And your children almost destroyed it with their crackers!" the guard said.
+
+Mom was shocked. She looked at the case and saw the stone axe. It was big and sharp and had marks on it. She looked at Tim and Lily and saw their guilty faces. She felt very bad.
+
+"I'm so sorry, sir. I didn't know. I'll pay for the cleaning and the damage. And I'll teach my children to respect the museum and its things. Please, don't be too hard on them. They are only three years old. They didn't mean to cause trouble," mom said.
+
+The guard sighed. He looked at Tim and Lily and saw their scared eyes. He felt a little sorry for them.
+
+"Okay, okay. I'll let it go this time. But you have to leave the museum now. And don't come back until you learn how to behave. And don't forget to take your snacks with you. We don't need any more crumbs here," the guard said.
+
+Mom nodded. She thanked the guard and apologized again. She took Tim and Lily by their hands and their bags by their shoulders. She walked out of the museum with them. She was very disappointed and angry with them.
+
+"Tim, Lily, you were very naughty today. You did not listen to me. You did not share your snacks. You did not follow the rules. You made a mess. You upset the guard. You almost ruined the museum. You should be ashamed of yourselves," mom said.
+
+Tim and Lily felt very bad. They knew they were wrong. They wanted to say sorry to mom, but they did not know how. They were quiet and sad.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We were hungry and silly. We did not think. We did not know. We did not mean to," they said in a small voice.
+
+Mom heard them. She looked at them and saw their sorry faces. She felt a
+Lily and Tom were bored. They wanted to do something fun. They saw a big bottle of shampoo in the bathroom. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's bake a cake with shampoo!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Tom said.
+
+They took the shampoo and some other things from the kitchen. They mixed them in a big bowl. They put the bowl in the oven. They waited for the cake to be ready.
+
+But the cake was not good. It was bad. It smelled bad. It looked bad. It made a lot of smoke. The smoke made the fire alarm beep.
+
+Mom and Dad came running. They saw the mess. They saw the bad cake. They were angry.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom asked.
+
+"We baked a cake with shampoo!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+"That was a bad idea!" Dad said. "Shampoo is not for baking. Shampoo is for washing your hair. You could have started a fire. You could have hurt yourselves. You need to be careful."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry. They said sorry to Mom and Dad. They helped to clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. They never baked with shampoo again.
+Tom and Anna like to play with paper and crayons. They like to design things with different colors and shapes. One day, they decide to design their own body parts.
+
+"I want to have a blue head and a green nose," Tom says. He draws a big circle and a small triangle on his paper.
+
+"I want to have a pink head and a yellow nose," Anna says. She draws a small circle and a big square on her paper.
+
+They cut out their heads and noses and stick them on their faces with tape. Then they look at each other and laugh.
+
+"You look interesting," Tom says.
+
+"You look interesting, too," Anna says.
+
+They design more body parts, like ears, eyes, mouths, arms, legs, and feet. They use different colors and shapes for each part. They stick them on their clothes and shoes with tape. Then they stand up and look at each other again.
+
+They look very interesting. They have many colors and shapes on their body. They look like funny animals or aliens.
+
+They run to show their mom and dad their design. Mom and dad smile and hug them.
+
+"You are very creative," mom says.
+
+"You are very silly," dad says.
+
+Tom and Anna are happy. They like to design their own body parts. They think it is fun and interesting.
+Lily was a clumsy girl. She liked to run and jump and play, but she often fell down and hurt herself. One day, she was playing with her ball in the park. She kicked the ball very hard and it flew far away. She ran after it, but she did not see the big rock in her way. She tripped over the rock and fell on the ground. She scraped her knee and her lip. She felt a lot of pain and started to cry.
+
+A boy named Ben saw what happened. He was playing with his dog nearby. He ran to Lily and asked her if she was okay. He saw the blood on her knee and her lip. He felt sorry for her. He took a tissue from his pocket and gave it to her. He told her to press it on her lip and knee. He said it would help stop the bleeding. He also gave her a hug and said it would make her feel better.
+
+Lily stopped crying and smiled at Ben. She said thank you for being so kind. She pressed the tissue on her lip and knee. She felt a little better. She asked Ben if he wanted to play with her ball. Ben said yes, he liked to play with balls. He asked her if she wanted to play with his dog. Lily said yes, she liked to play with dogs. They decided to play together. They threw the ball and the dog chased it. They laughed and had fun. They became friends.
+
+Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned to be more careful when she ran and jumped and played. She also learned that sometimes being clumsy can lead to meeting new friends. She leaned on Ben and gave him a kiss on his cheek. She said he was a good friend. Ben leaned on Lily and gave her a kiss on his cheek. He said she was a good friend too. They smiled and played some more.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are at Lily's house. Lily's mom says it is time for lunch. She makes a big meal for them.
+
+"Look, we have soup, bread, cheese, and fruit," she says. "Can you count how many things we have?"
+
+Lily and Ben start to count. They point at each thing and say the number.
+
+"One, two, three, four," they say together. "We have four things!"
+
+"Very good," Lily's mom says. "You are smart. Now, let's eat. I hope you are hungry."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are hungry. They sit at the table and eat. They like the soup. It is warm and tasty. They like the bread. It is soft and crunchy. They like the cheese. It is yellow and salty. They like the fruit. It is sweet and juicy.
+
+They eat until they are full. They say thank you to Lily's mom. They are happy. They smile at each other.
+
+"Did you like the meal?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, I did," Ben says. "It was yummy. Did you like it?"
+
+"Yes, I did," Lily says. "It was yummy, too. You are a good friend."
+
+"You are a good friend, too," Ben says.
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They count to four again. They laugh.
+Jill and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big palace with many windows and doors. They wanted to see what was inside, so they climbed over the wall and sneaked in.
+
+They saw many pretty things in the palace: shiny jewels, soft rugs, colorful paintings, and sweet cakes. They touched and tasted everything they could. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But they did not know that the king and the queen were watching them from a hidden room. They were very angry and envious. They did not like that Jill and Ben were enjoying their things. They wanted to punish them.
+
+They came out of the hidden room and shouted at Jill and Ben. They told them to stop and go away. They said they were bad and rude. They called their guards and told them to catch Jill and Ben.
+
+Jill and Ben were scared and tried to run away. But the palace was too big and they did not know the way out. The guards were fast and strong. They caught Jill and Ben and locked them in a dark and cold dungeon. They said they would never let them out.
+
+Jill and Ben cried and wished they had never gone to the palace. They missed their homes and families. They were sorry for what they had done. But it was too late. They were trapped in the palace forever.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Tom said, showing his blocks. "It is taller than you!"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That is a good tower, Tom. But I made a house. It has a door and a window and a roof. Do you want to see?"
+
+Tom nodded and followed Lily to her house. He liked her house, too. It was very pretty and cozy.
+
+"Can I go inside your house, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, Tom. You can go inside. But be careful. There is a surprise inside," Lily said.
+
+Tom was curious. He wanted to see the surprise. He crawled through the door and looked around. He saw a big box with a bow. He wondered what was inside.
+
+He opened the box and got a shock. A wild cat jumped out of the box and scratched his face. Tom screamed and ran out of the house. He was scared and hurt.
+
+Lily laughed and said, "That was the surprise, Tom. It was a joke. I put the cat in the box. It is not a real cat. It is a toy cat. It makes noises and moves when you touch it."
+
+Tom was angry and sad. He did not like the joke. He did not like the toy cat. He did not like Lily.
+
+He said, "That was a bad joke, Lily. That was a mean surprise. You made me finish my tower and go to your house. You made me get a shock and a scratch. You are not a good friend. I do not want to play with you anymore."
+
+He took his blocks and went to his room. He did not talk to Lily for the rest of the day. He did not want to see her wild cat again.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They had a regular ball that they kicked and threw to each other. One day, they saw a big pond in the park that they had never seen before. They wanted to go closer and look at the water.
+
+"Let's go see the pond, Tom," Sam said.
+
+"OK, but be careful, Sam. There might be fish or frogs or something in the water," Tom said.
+
+They walked to the pond and saw something shiny and green in the water. It looked like a big stick, but it had eyes and teeth. It was a crocodile!
+
+"Look, Tom, a crocodile!" Sam said.
+
+"A crocodile? In the park? That's not regular!" Tom said.
+
+The crocodile saw the boys and opened its mouth. It wanted to eat them!
+
+"Run, Sam, run!" Tom shouted.
+
+They dropped their ball and ran away from the pond as fast as they could. The crocodile tried to chase them, but it was too slow on land. It went back to the water and took the ball instead. It thought the ball was a tasty snack.
+
+Tom and Sam were scared and sad. They lost their regular ball to the crocodile. They decided to never go near the pond again. They went home and told their mom what happened. She hugged them and gave them a new ball. It was not regular. It was colorful and had stars on it. They liked it even more than their old ball. They played with it in the backyard, away from the pond and the crocodile. They were happy again.
+Tom and Sue like to play with bricks. They have many bricks of different colors and shapes. They build houses and towers and cars with their bricks. They have fun and share their bricks.
+
+One day, they find a big brick that is sweet. It is brown and shiny and smells good. They think it is a chocolate brick. They want to eat it.
+
+"Can I have a bite?" Tom asks Sue.
+
+"OK, but only a little," Sue says. She passes the brick to Tom.
+
+Tom takes a big bite of the brick. He makes a face. The brick is not sweet. It is bitter and hard. It hurts his teeth and tongue. He spits out the brick.
+
+"Yuck! This is not chocolate! This is a bad brick!" Tom cries.
+
+Sue laughs at Tom. She thinks he is silly. She does not want the brick anymore. She throws it away.
+
+The brick lands on a dog. The dog is angry. It barks and growls. It runs after Tom and Sue. It wants to bite them.
+
+Tom and Sue are scared. They run away from the dog. They drop their bricks. They lose their bricks.
+
+They do not play with bricks anymore. They are sad. They have no fun. They have no bricks. They have a bad day.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the farm. They like to run and hide in the wheat. The wheat is tall and yellow. They can see the blue sky and the white clouds.
+
+"Where are you, Ben?" Sara calls. She looks for her brother. She hears a giggle behind a wheat. She runs to catch him.
+
+"Got you!" she says. She grabs his arm. But it is not Ben. It is a scarecrow. The scarecrow has a straw hat and a blue shirt. It has buttons for eyes and a smile for a mouth.
+
+"Boo!" the scarecrow says. Sara is scared. She lets go of the arm. She screams and runs away.
+
+"Ha ha ha!" Ben laughs. He appears from another wheat. He was hiding. He made the scarecrow talk. He has a string and a horn. He pulls the string and the horn makes a sound.
+
+"That was not funny, Ben!" Sara says. She is angry and sad. She has tears in her eyes.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I was just joking. Don't cry. You are my best sister." Ben says. He hugs her. He gives her a flower. The flower is red and pretty.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. You are my best brother." Sara says. She smiles. She gives him a kiss. They are friends again.
+
+They play in the wheat. They see a bird. The bird is blue and sings. They are happy.
+Tim and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tim has a big truck and Mia has a doll. They are having fun, but they are also making a lot of noise.
+
+"Tim, Mia, be quiet please!" their mom says from the kitchen. "I am trying to work on the computer."
+
+"OK, mom," Tim and Mia say. But they soon forget and start to shout and laugh again.
+
+Their mom comes to the living room and sees the mess they have made. Toys are everywhere, and some are broken. She is angry and tired.
+
+"Tim, Mia, look what you have done!" she says. "You are so careless! You don't take care of your toys or the house. You need to learn to be more careful and respectful."
+
+She picks up a toy car and shows it to them. It has a dent and a scratch.
+
+"See this? This was your dad's toy when he was a little boy. He gave it to you because he loved you. And you broke it! How do you think he will feel when he sees it?"
+
+Tim and Mia feel sorry and ashamed. They look at the toy car and then at their mom.
+
+"We are sorry, mom," they say. "We didn't mean to break it. We were just playing."
+
+Their mom sighs and puts the toy car on the table.
+
+"Playing is good, but you have to be careful with your things and with other people's things. And you have to listen to me when I ask you to be quiet. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Mia nod and say "Yes, mom."
+
+Their mom hugs them and says "I love you, but you have to be more responsible. Now, help me clean up this mess and then we can have a snack."
+
+Tim and Mia agree and start to pick up their toys. They are more gentle and quiet now.
+
+As they are cleaning, Tim sees something shiny on the floor. He bends down and picks it up. It is a ring.
+
+"Look, Mia, I found a ring!" he says.
+
+Mia looks at the ring and gasps. It is their mom's ring. It has a big red stone and a gold band. It is very pretty and very expensive.
+
+"Wow, that's mom's ring!" she says. "She loves that ring. She always wears it on her finger. How did it get here?"
+
+Tim shrugs and says "I don't know. Maybe it fell off when she was picking up the toys."
+
+Mia takes the ring from Tim and says "We have to give it back to her. She will be very sad if she loses it."
+
+Tim nods and says "OK, let's go."
+
+They run to the kitchen, where their mom is making sandwiches. They hold the ring in their hands and say "Mom, mom, look what we found!"
+
+Their mom turns around and sees the ring. She is surprised and happy.
+
+"Oh, my ring! Thank you, Tim and Mia! You found my ring! I was looking for it everywhere. I must have dropped it when I was moving the toys. You are so sweet and helpful!"
+
+She takes the ring from them and puts it back on her finger. She kisses them and says "You made my day. You are the best kids in the world. I am very proud of you."
+
+Tim and Mia smile and hug their mom. They are glad they found the ring and made her happy. They are not careless anymore. They are careful and respectful.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in spring time. Spring time is when the sun is warm, the flowers are pretty, and the birds are happy.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom see a big pile of trash near the park. They are sad and angry. Who made this mess? They ask each other.
+
+"Let's spring into action and clean it up!" Lily says. "We can make the park nice again."
+
+"Good idea!" Tom says. "We can use these bags and gloves to pick up the trash."
+
+Lily and Tom work hard and fast. They spring from one spot to another, filling the bags with cans, bottles, papers, and wrappers. They are careful not to touch anything sharp or dirty.
+
+Soon, the pile of trash is gone. The park looks clean and green. Lily and Tom smile and high-five each other.
+
+"Wow, you two did a great job!" A lady says. She is a park ranger. She saw Lily and Tom cleaning the park. "Thank you for caring about the environment. You are very kind and responsible."
+
+Lily and Tom feel proud and happy. They thank the lady and give her the bags of trash. She takes them to a big bin.
+
+"Can we play in the park now?" Lily asks.
+
+"Of course you can!" The lady says. "You deserve to have fun. And remember, always throw your trash in the bin, not on the ground."
+
+Lily and Tom nod and run to the swings. They have fun in the clean park. They learn that spring time is a good time to help the earth and make it beautiful.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have a big box and some crayons. They want to make a house out of the box. Lily draws a door and a window on the box. Ben draws a roof and a chimney.
+
+"Let's go inside our house!" Lily says. She opens the door and crawls into the box. Ben follows her. They sit on the floor and pretend to cook and eat.
+
+"I want a chair," Ben says. "It's hard to sit on the floor."
+
+"Me too," Lily says. "But we don't have a chair."
+
+They look around the room and see a chair by the sofa. It is big and soft and has a cushion on it.
+
+"Let's take that chair!" Ben says. He runs out of the box and grabs the chair. He tries to drag it to the box, but it is too heavy.
+
+"Help me, Lily!" Ben says.
+
+Lily runs out of the box and helps Ben. They pull and push the chair, but it does not move.
+
+"Stop!" a voice says. It is Mom. She is sitting on the sofa and reading a book. She looks angry.
+
+"What are you doing with my chair?" Mom says. "That's not your chair. That's my chair. Put it back where it was."
+
+"But we need a chair for our house," Lily says. "We don't have a chair."
+
+"You can't take my chair," Mom says. "That's not nice. You have to ask before you take something that belongs to someone else. And you have to be careful not to break anything or make a mess."
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Ben says. He lets go of the chair.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Lily says. She lets go of the chair too.
+
+They put the chair back by the sofa. Mom smiles and hugs them.
+
+"It's okay," Mom says. "I know you were just playing. But next time, please ask me first. And why don't you use these pillows instead of the chair? They are softer and lighter and you can move them easily."
+
+She gives them two pillows and helps them carry them to the box.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Lily says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Ben says.
+
+They go back into the box and put the pillows on the floor. They sit on the pillows and feel cozy and happy.
+
+"Now we have chairs for our house," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, we do," Ben says. "And we are ready to play some more."
+Tom and Lily wanted to play at the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. But their dad said they had to try to surf first. He had a big board and a thin suit for them.
+
+"Come on, kids, it's fun!" he said. "You just lie on the board and let the waves push you."
+
+Tom was scared of the water. He saw the big waves and heard the loud noise. He refused to go with his dad. He shook his head and said, "No, no, no!"
+
+Lily was brave. She wanted to try to surf. She put on the thin suit and followed her dad. She held his hand and walked to the water. She climbed on the board and smiled.
+
+"Good girl, Lily!" her dad said. "You're a natural!"
+
+Tom watched from the sand. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he could be brave like Lily. He saw her surf and laugh. He wanted to join her.
+
+He decided to try to surf. He ran to his dad and said, "Dad, dad, can I surf too?"
+
+His dad was happy. He said, "Of course, Tom! Come on, let's go!"
+
+He gave him a board and a suit. He helped him to the water. He showed him how to surf.
+
+Tom was nervous at first. But he soon felt the fun. He liked to surf with his dad and Lily. He forgot his fear. He enjoyed the beach. He was proud of himself.
+Tom and Mia like to play with blocks. They make a big hotel with many rooms and windows. They put their toys inside the hotel and pretend they are guests.
+
+But Sam, the fat cat, does not like the hotel. He thinks it is his bed. He jumps on the hotel and knocks it down. The blocks fall everywhere and the toys get out.
+
+Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They shout at Sam.
+
+"Bad cat! Go away! You broke our hotel!"
+
+Sam does not care. He meows and licks his fur. He is happy to have a soft bed.
+
+Tom and Mia do not give up. They pick up the blocks and the toys. They make a new hotel, but this time they put it on a high table. Sam cannot reach it.
+
+They smile and hug each other. They say:
+
+"Good job! We made a new hotel! Sam cannot break it now!"
+
+They play with their toys and have fun. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. There is a big slide at the park. Anna and Ben want to slide on it.
+
+"Let's slide together!" Anna says to Ben.
+
+"OK!" Ben says. They climb up the stairs and sit on the slide. They hold hands and slide down. They go very fast and feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and have fun.
+
+They slide again and again. They are happy. But then, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has sharp teeth. The dog runs to the slide and barks. Anna and Ben are scared.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Anna shouts. "We don't have any beef for you!"
+
+The dog does not listen. It jumps on the slide and tries to bite Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben scream and slide down. They run to their moms. The dog follows them.
+
+"Help, help!" Anna and Ben cry. "There is a bad dog!"
+
+Their moms see the dog and are angry. They pick up Anna and Ben and hug them. They are safe.
+
+"Shoo, shoo!" Their moms say to the dog. "Go back to your owner!"
+
+The dog sees their moms and is afraid. It runs away. Anna and Ben are pale. They are still scared.
+
+"Are you OK, sweeties?" Their moms ask.
+
+"Yes, mom," Anna and Ben say. "But we don't want to slide anymore."
+
+Their moms understand. They take Anna and Ben to the ice cream truck. They buy them ice cream cones. Anna and Ben lick their ice cream and smile. They forget about the dog. They are happy again.
+Lily liked to sit in the bathtub and play with her toys. She had a duck, a frog, a boat and a fish. She made them swim and splash and talk to each other.
+
+"Hello, duck, I am frog. Do you want to be my friend?" she said in a high voice.
+
+"Quack, quack, yes, I do. You are very charming, frog. You have green skin and big eyes," she said in a low voice.
+
+They pretended to hug and kiss. Lily giggled.
+
+But then she heard a loud noise. It was her brother Tom. He came into the bathroom and saw Lily in the bathtub.
+
+"Hey, Lily, can I join you? I want to play with your toys too," he said.
+
+Lily frowned. She did not want to share her toys. She liked to play by herself.
+
+"No, Tom, go away. These are my toys. You have your own toys. You are not charming, you are mean," she said.
+
+Tom felt sad. He liked Lily and he wanted to have fun with her. He tried to smile.
+
+"Please, Lily, let me play with you. I can be charming too. Look, I can make a funny face," he said.
+
+He crossed his eyes and stuck out his tongue. Lily looked at him and laughed. He did look funny.
+
+"Okay, Tom, you can play with me. But you have to be nice and gentle. And you have to ask the toys if they want to be your friends too," she said.
+
+Tom nodded. He was happy. He climbed into the bathtub and sat next to Lily. They played with the toys and made them swim and splash and talk to each other. They had a lot of fun. They were charming.
+Mia and Leo were twins who shared a room and a big mattress. They liked to play with their toys, read books, and sing songs before bedtime. But sometimes they also liked to admire the stars and the moon through their window.
+
+One night, Mia and Leo were lying on their mattress and looking at the sky. They saw many bright stars and a big round moon.
+
+"Look, Leo, that star is so shiny!" Mia said, pointing at a star.
+
+"I see it, Mia. It is very pretty. Do you think it is a wish star?" Leo asked.
+
+"Maybe. What would you wish for, Leo?" Mia wondered.
+
+Leo thought for a moment. He had many things he liked, but he also wanted something new.
+
+"I would wish for a bike, Mia. A red bike with a bell and a basket. Then we could ride together and explore new places. What would you wish for, Mia?" Leo said.
+
+Mia smiled. She also liked bikes, but she had another idea.
+
+"I would wish for a puppy, Leo. A fluffy puppy with a wagging tail and a wet nose. Then we could cuddle and play with him and teach him tricks. He would be our best friend." Mia said.
+
+Leo and Mia nodded. They both liked their wishes. They closed their eyes and made their wishes in their hearts. Then they opened their eyes and looked at each other.
+
+"Good night, Leo. I love you." Mia said.
+
+"Good night, Mia. I love you too." Leo said.
+
+They hugged each other and snuggled under their blanket. They were very sleepy and happy. They fell asleep on their mattress, dreaming of their wishes.
+Tom liked to soar in the sky. He had a big toy plane that he could fly with a license. He got the license from his dad, who said he had to be careful and follow the rules. Tom was happy and proud of his plane and his license.
+
+One day, Tom was feeling lazy. He did not want to do his chores or his homework. He just wanted to fly his plane all day. He did not listen to his dad, who told him to finish his work first. He did not listen to his mom, who told him to eat his lunch. He did not listen to his teacher, who told him to join the class online. He just flew his plane in his backyard.
+
+But Tom was not careful. He did not check his plane before he flew it. He did not watch where he was going. He did not see the big tree in his neighbor's yard. He flew his plane too fast and too high. He crashed his plane into the tree. His plane broke into pieces. His license fell to the ground.
+
+Tom was sad and scared. He ran to get his plane and his license. But his neighbor saw him. He was angry and shouted at him. He said Tom had damaged his tree and his fence. He said Tom had to pay for the repairs. He said he would call Tom's parents and the police. He took Tom's plane and his license and went inside his house.
+
+Tom cried and ran back to his house. He wished he had listened to his dad, his mom, and his teacher. He wished he had not been lazy. He wished he had been careful. He learned that flying his plane was not fun if he did not follow the rules. He learned that being lazy had a bad ending. He learned that he had to be responsible for his actions.
+Ben loved to zoom around the city with his toy car. He made loud noises as he drove it on the floor, the table, the sofa and the bed. He pretended he was a taxi driver, a police officer, a firefighter and a racer. He had so much fun with his car, he never wanted to stop.
+
+One day, his mom said they had to go to the store. She told him to bring his car with him, so he could play with it in the car. Ben was happy to go with his mom, but he did not want to leave his car behind. He put it in his pocket and ran to the door.
+
+At the store, Ben saw many things he liked. He saw books, toys, candy and clothes. He wanted to touch everything, but his mom said no. She said they only came to buy some food and some soap. Ben was bored and restless. He reached for his pocket, but his car was not there. He had dropped it somewhere. He felt sad and scared. He started to cry.
+
+His mom heard him and came to him. She asked him what was wrong. He told her he lost his car. He said he loved his car and he wanted it back. His mom hugged him and said they would look for it. She said maybe someone found it and gave it to the cashier. She said they should go and ask.
+
+They went to the cashier and asked if he had seen a toy car. The cashier smiled and said yes. He said a nice lady had brought it to him. He said she had seen it on the floor and thought it belonged to a child. He said he was waiting for the owner to come. He reached under the counter and gave Ben his car. Ben was so happy and relieved. He thanked the cashier and the lady. He hugged his car and his mom. He felt grateful for their kindness. He learned to be more careful with his things. He still loved to zoom around the city with his car, but he never let it out of his sight.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play in the garage with their cars and trucks. They make a lot of noise. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!
+
+One day, Mom calls them from the kitchen. "Boys, it's time to eat! Come and have some soup and bread!"
+
+Sam and Ben do not want to stop playing. They say, "No, Mom, we are not hungry. We want to play more!"
+
+Mom is not happy. She says, "You have to eat, boys. It's good for you. And you have to be quiet, too. Dad is working in his office. He needs silence."
+
+Sam and Ben do not listen. They keep playing and making noise. They think Mom will not come to the garage.
+
+But they are wrong. Mom comes to the garage with a big spoon and a bowl. She says, "If you don't come to the kitchen, I will bring the soup to you. And you will eat it here, in the garage, with all the dust and dirt."
+
+Sam and Ben are scared. They do not like the soup. They do not like the dust and dirt. They say, "Sorry, Mom, we are sorry. We will come to the kitchen. We will eat the soup and bread. We will be quiet. Please, don't make us eat in the garage!"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That's better, boys. Now, come on, let's go. And don't forget to wash your hands!"
+
+Sam and Ben follow Mom to the kitchen. They eat the soup and bread. They say, "Thank you, Mom, it's yummy!"
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "You're welcome, boys. I love you. Now, you can play again, but quietly, OK?"
+
+Sam and Ben nod. They say, "OK, Mom, we will. We love you, too!"
+
+They go back to the garage. They play with their cars and trucks. But they are not noisy. They whisper. Shh, shh, vroom, vroom, beep, beep!
+Sara was a little girl who liked to play by the sea. She had a big bucket and a small net. She wanted to catch some fish for her lunch. She was very independent and did not need help.
+
+One day, she saw a fisherman on a boat. He had a long rod and a big basket. He was catching many fish. Sara waved to him and shouted, "Hello, fisherman! Can I have some fish?"
+
+The fisherman smiled and waved back. He said, "Hello, little girl! You are very brave to play by the sea. Yes, you can have some fish. Come closer and I will give you some."
+
+Sara ran to the edge of the water and held out her bucket. The fisherman threw some fish into her bucket. They were shiny and slippery. Sara thanked him and said, "You are very kind, fisherman. Can I come with you on your boat?"
+
+The fisherman laughed and said, "No, little girl. You are too small to go on the boat. It is dangerous and hard. You should stay on the land and play with your toys. But you are welcome to visit me anytime. I will always give you some fish."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Okay, fisherman. I understand. I will come back tomorrow and say hello. Goodbye and thank you!"
+
+The fisherman said, "Goodbye and you are welcome, little girl. Have a good lunch and be careful!"
+
+Sara ran back to her home with her bucket of fish. She was very happy and proud. She had made a new friend and had caught some fish. She was very independent and did not need help.
+Tim and Kim like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises and pretend to drive them on the floor. Tim has a blue car that can shine. He likes to turn on the light and make it flash. Kim has a red car that looks like a police car. She likes to make a siren sound and chase Tim's car.
+
+One day, they are playing with their cars in the living room. The sun is shining outside and it is very hot. Mom says they need to drink some water and stay dry. She gives them each a cup of water and tells them not to spill it on the floor. Tim and Kim say thank you and drink their water. Then they go back to playing with their cars.
+
+But Tim is not careful. He puts his cup on the floor and forgets about it. He drives his blue car fast and bumps into Kim's red car. Kim says, "Stop, you are the bad guy. I am the police and I will catch you." Tim says, "No, you can't catch me. I am too fast and shiny." He drives his car away from Kim and tries to hide behind the sofa. But he does not see his cup of water on the floor. He drives his car over the cup and spills the water everywhere. The water makes the floor wet and slippery. Tim's car slides on the water and crashes into the wall. The light on his car breaks and stops shining.
+
+Tim is sad and scared. He thinks he broke his car and made a mess. He says, "Oh no, oh no, what did I do?" Kim sees what happened and stops chasing him. She says, "Oh no, Tim, are you okay? Is your car okay?" She drives her car to him and helps him pick up his car. She sees that the light is broken and says, "I'm sorry, Tim, your car can't shine anymore. But maybe we can fix it. Let's ask Mom for help."
+
+Tim and Kim go to Mom and show her the broken car and the wet floor. Mom is not angry. She says, "Don't worry, Tim and Kim, accidents happen. We can clean the floor and dry it. And we can try to fix the car or get a new one. But next time, be more careful with your water and your cars. And remember to share and play nicely." Tim and Kim say sorry and hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. And we love our cars. Even if they can't shine." Mom smiles and hugs them back. She says, "I love you too, Tim and Kim. And I love your cars too. Even if they can't shine."
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. But Sara trips on a rock and falls down. She hurts her foot and cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara says. "My foot is bad!"
+
+Ben runs to Sara and helps her up. He sees her foot is red and has a scratch.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara," Ben says. "Your foot is hurt. Do you want me to rub it?"
+
+Sara nods and sits on a bench. Ben rubs her foot gently. He tries to make her feel better.
+
+"Does it help?" Ben asks.
+
+"A little bit," Sara says. "But it still hurts."
+
+Ben thinks of something. He remembers his mom gave him a candy in his pocket. He takes it out and shows it to Sara.
+
+"Look, Sara," Ben says. "I have a candy for you. It is sweet and yummy. It will make you happy."
+
+Sara smiles and takes the candy. She unwraps it and puts it in her mouth. But she makes a face and spits it out.
+
+"Yuck!" Sara says. "This candy is sour! It is not sweet and yummy. It is bad!"
+
+Ben is surprised. He looks at the candy and sees it is a lemon candy. He does not like lemon candy either. He thinks it is sour and bad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara," Ben says. "I did not know it was a lemon candy. I thought it was a different candy. Do you want another candy?"
+
+Sara shakes her head. She does not want any candy. She wants her foot to be good.
+
+"Let's go to your mom," Ben says. "She will have a band-aid for your foot. She will make it good."
+
+Sara agrees. She holds Ben's hand and they walk to Sara's mom. Sara's mom sees her foot and gives her a hug and a band-aid. She also gives her a cookie that is sweet and yummy. Sara feels better and says thank you.
+
+Ben and Sara are friends. They share their cookies and play again. They are careful not to trip on any rocks. They have fun in the park.
+Lily was a little girl who liked lollipops very much. She saw a big jar of lollipops in the shop. She wanted to have one. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I have a lollipop, please?"
+
+Her mom said, "No, Lily, you can't have a lollipop. We don't have money to pay for it. We have to buy food and clothes and other things."
+
+Lily was sad. She really wanted a lollipop. She saw an old man in the shop. He had a big coat and a big hat. He smiled at Lily and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like lollipops?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked lollipops very much. The old man said, "I have a lot of lollipops in my coat. You can have one if you come with me. I will show you where I live. It is not far from here."
+
+Lily thought the old man was nice. She wanted to have a lollipop. She said, "OK, I will go with you. But I have to tell my mom first."
+
+The old man said, "No, no, you don't have to tell your mom. She will be angry if you take a lollipop. She will not let you have fun. Come on, let's go. It will be a secret."
+
+Lily was not sure. She loved her mom. But she also loved lollipops. She decided to go with the old man. She followed him out of the shop. She did not see her mom looking for her. She did not hear her mom calling her name. She did not know that the old man was bad. She did not know that he would hurt her. She did not know that she would never see her mom again. She only knew that she wanted a lollipop.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars in the garden. One day, they found a big box under a tree. They wanted to make a club house with the box.
+
+"Let's cut a door and a window in the box," Lily said. She had scissors in her hand.
+
+"No, let's draw pictures on the box," Ben said. He had crayons in his hand.
+
+They argued for a long time. They both wanted to do their own thing. They were frustrated with each other.
+
+"Let's ask Mom what to do," Lily suggested. She thought Mom would know how to make a club house.
+
+"OK, let's go," Ben agreed. He did not want to fight with Lily.
+
+They ran to the house and found Mom in the kitchen. They told her about the box and their ideas.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Why don't you do both? You can cut a door and a window on one side of the box, and draw pictures on the other side. Then you can have a club house that is fun and colorful."
+
+Lily and Ben liked Mom's idea. They thanked her and ran back to the garden. They worked together to make their club house. They were happy and proud of their club. They invited Mom to join their club and played with their dolls and cars inside the box.
+Sam liked to play with his mom's phone. He liked to press the buttons and hear the sounds. He liked to see the pictures and videos. He liked to pretend he was talking to his friends. But his mom did not permit him to play with her phone. She said it was not a toy. She said he could break it or lose it. She said he had to ask her first.
+
+One day, Sam saw his mom's phone on the table. She was busy in the kitchen. He thought she would not notice. He wanted to play with the phone. He was very playful. He took the phone and ran to his room. He locked the door. He pressed the buttons and heard the sounds. He saw the pictures and videos. He pretended he was talking to his friends.
+
+But he did not know that he pressed the wrong button. He pressed the button that called the police. He heard a voice on the phone. It was not his friend. It was a man. He said, "Hello, this is the police. What is your emergency?" Sam did not understand. He said, "Hi, I am Sam. I am playing with my mom's phone." The man said, "Where is your mom? Is she there with you?" Sam said, "No, she is in the kitchen. She does not permit me to play with her phone." The man said, "OK, Sam, I need you to unlock the door and give the phone to your mom. Can you do that for me?" Sam said, "OK, I will try."
+
+He unlocked the door and ran to the kitchen. He gave the phone to his mom. He said, "Mom, I am sorry. I played with your phone. I called the police." His mom was shocked. She took the phone and talked to the man. She said, "I am sorry, officer. My son was playing with my phone. He did not mean to call you. There is no emergency." The man said, "That's OK, ma'am. I am glad everything is fine. Please keep an eye on your son and your phone. Have a nice day." He hung up.
+
+His mom was angry. She said, "Sam, you are in big trouble. You did not listen to me. You did not ask me. You played with my phone. You called the police. You could have caused a lot of problems. You are not allowed to play with my phone ever again. Do you understand?" Sam said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I am sorry. I will not play with your phone ever again." His mom said, "You better not. Now go to your room and think about what you did. No TV, no toys, no snacks for you today." Sam said, "OK, mom. I am sorry." He went to his room and felt sad. He wished he had not played with his phone. He learned his lesson. He decided to play with his own toys instead.
+Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They find a big stick. They want to use it as a sword.
+
+"Can I have the stick?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, it is mine. I found it first," Ben says.
+
+"Please, lend me the stick. Just for a little bit," Tom begs.
+
+"No, go find your own stick," Ben says. He swings the stick in the air.
+
+Tom is sad. He looks for another stick, but he cannot find one. He sees a fat dog. The dog is sleeping on the grass. Tom has an idea. He goes to the dog and tries to take its tail.
+
+"WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!" The dog barks. It is angry. It chases Tom. Tom runs away. He is scared.
+
+Ben sees what happens. He feels sorry for Tom. He runs to help him. He gives him the stick.
+
+"Here, take the stick. Use it to scare the dog away," Ben says.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend," Tom says.
+
+They wave the stick at the dog. The dog stops barking. It runs away. Tom and Ben are safe.
+
+They hug each other. They share the stick. They play together.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. It is better to lend than to be selfish.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They wanted to measure how tall they were. They found a big stick and leaned it against the wall.
+
+"I go first," Lily said. She stood next to the stick and looked up. "Wow, I am so big!"
+
+Ben laughed. "No, you are not. You are still small. Let me show you." He stood next to the stick and looked down. "See? I am much bigger than you!"
+
+Lily frowned. "That's not fair. You are older than me. And you have shoes on. Take them off!"
+
+Ben shrugged. He took off his shoes and stood next to the stick again. "There. I am still bigger. You are just a baby."
+
+Lily felt angry. She wanted to be big too. She looked around and saw a bucket. She had an idea. She ran to the bucket and put it on her head. Then she stood next to the stick again.
+
+"Ha! Now I am bigger than you!" she said. She smiled and stuck out her tongue.
+
+Ben stared at her. He thought she looked silly. He saw something in the bucket. It was a worm. A long, slimy, disgusting worm. It was crawling on Lily's hair.
+
+"Yuck! Lily, you have a worm on your head!" he shouted. He pointed at the bucket.
+
+Lily felt something tickle her ear. She lifted the bucket and saw the worm. She screamed and threw the bucket away. She ran to the shade of the tree and rubbed her hair.
+
+"Get it off! Get it off!" she cried.
+
+Ben ran after her. He felt sorry for her. He helped her get rid of the worm. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. It's gone now. You are brave."
+
+Lily sniffed and smiled. She hugged him back and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are nice."
+
+They looked at each other and laughed. They forgot about the stick and the bucket. They decided to play something else. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the park. Today is a clear day. The sky is blue and the sunshine is warm. Tom and Mia run and laugh on the grass.
+
+"Look, a fountain!" Mia says. She points to a big bowl of water that shoots up in the air. "Let's go and see!"
+
+Tom and Mia run to the fountain. They see the water sparkle in the sunshine. They hear the water splash and gurgle. They feel the water spray on their faces.
+
+"Can we drink the water?" Tom asks. He is thirsty from running.
+
+"No, we can't," Mia says. "The water is not clean. It has dirt and soap and coins in it. We can only look and touch."
+
+"Where can we drink then?" Tom asks. He looks around the park.
+
+"Over there," Mia says. She points to a small house with a sign that says "Cafe". "They have juice and milk and water. Come on, let's go and ask!"
+
+Tom and Mia run to the cafe. They see a nice lady behind a counter. She smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, little ones," she says. "What can I get you?"
+
+"Can we have something to drink, please?" Mia asks. She holds Tom's hand.
+
+"Sure, you can," the lady says. "What would you like? I have orange juice, apple juice, milk, and water."
+
+Tom and Mia think for a moment. They both like juice, but they also want water.
+
+"Can we have both?" Tom asks.
+
+"Of course, you can," the lady says. "You can have a small cup of juice and a big cup of water. That way, you can enjoy the juice and also stay hydrated."
+
+"Thank you, lady," Mia says.
+
+"You're welcome, sweeties," the lady says. She gives them their cups and a straw each.
+
+Tom and Mia sit on a bench near the fountain. They sip their juice and water. They feel happy and refreshed. They watch the water dance in the sunshine. They smile at each other.
+
+"This is a good day," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, it is," Mia says. "A very good day."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They liked to make snowballs and throw them at each other. They also liked to make snowmen and snow angels. The snow was soft and white and cold. It was like powder.
+
+One day, they saw a big hill with a lot of snow on it. They wanted to slide down the hill and have fun. They found a big plastic tray and put it on the snow. They sat on the tray and held each other tight. They were ready to go.
+
+They pushed the tray and it started to move. It went faster and faster down the hill. They felt the wind in their faces and the snow in their hair. They laughed and screamed with joy. It was like flying.
+
+But then, they saw a big rock in their way. They tried to steer the tray away from the rock, but it was too late. They hit the rock and the tray broke. They flew off the tray and landed in the snow. They were not hurt, but they were very wet and cold. They felt the snow in their noses and mouths. It was not like powder. It was like water.
+
+They got up and looked at each other. They were covered in snow and their clothes were tight. They seemed very silly. They started to giggle and then to laugh. They did not mind the snow and the rock. They had fun. They hugged each other and ran back to their house. They wanted to have some hot chocolate and tell their mom and dad about their adventure.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with books. They have many books with pictures and words. Lily and Ben can read some words, but not all.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a big book on the shelf. The book has many pages. Lily and Ben want to see what is in the book. They open the book and look at the pages.
+
+"Wow, look at this page!" Lily says. "It has a big house and a car and a dog. I want to own a house and a car and a dog when I grow up."
+
+"Me too!" Ben says. "And look at this page! It has a boat and a fish and a star. I want to own a boat and a fish and a star when I grow up."
+
+Lily and Ben turn the pages and see more things they want to own. They are happy and excited.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is coming to the room. She is not happy. She is angry.
+
+"What are you doing with my book?" Mom says. "This is my book. It is not for you. It is for grown-ups. You are nosy. You should not touch my things without asking."
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They close the book and put it back on the shelf. They say sorry to Mom. They do not want to make Mom angry.
+
+Mom is still angry, but she is also sad. She loves Lily and Ben, but she does not like them to be nosy. She wants them to respect her things.
+
+She hugs Lily and Ben and says, "I forgive you, but you have to be careful. Some books are not for you. They have words and pictures that are not good for you. They can make you confused or scared or sad. You have to ask me before you touch my things, okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod and say okay. They understand. They do not want to be confused or scared or sad. They want to be happy and learn.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I have some books that are for you. They have words and pictures that are good for you. They can make you smart and curious and happy. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Lily and Ben say yes. They want to see them. They follow Mom to another shelf. Mom shows them some books that are for them. They have words and pictures that they can read and understand. They have stories and facts and jokes.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They thank Mom and pick a book. They sit on the couch and read the book. They see things they want to own, but they also see things they already own. They own books and friends and Mom. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw some birds on the grass. Sara had some bread in her bag. She wanted to feed the birds.
+
+"Look, Ben, birds!" Sara said. "Let's feed them!"
+
+"OK, Sara, but be careful. Some birds are dangerous. They can bite or scratch you with their beaks or wings," Ben said.
+
+Sara and Ben broke the bread into small pieces. They threw them to the birds. The birds came closer and ate the bread. Sara and Ben were happy. They liked the birds.
+
+But one bird was different. It was bigger and darker than the others. It had a yellow beak and black eyes. It looked angry. It did not eat the bread. It watched Sara and Ben.
+
+Sara did not see the big bird. She saw a small bird with a red wing. It was pretty. She wanted to touch it. She walked towards it. She reached out her hand.
+
+"Look, Ben, a red wing!" Sara said.
+
+But the big bird saw Sara. It did not like her. It flew towards her. It opened its beak. It wanted to bite her.
+
+"Watch out, Sara!" Ben shouted. "A dangerous bird!"
+
+Sara heard Ben. She turned around. She saw the big bird. She was scared. She screamed.
+
+But Ben was brave. He ran to Sara. He grabbed a stick. He waved it at the big bird. He scared it away.
+
+"Go away, dangerous bird!" Ben said.
+
+The big bird flew away. It did not come back. The other birds flew away too. They did not like the noise.
+
+Sara and Ben hugged each other. They were safe. They were glad.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You saved me," Sara said.
+
+"You're welcome, Sara. You're my friend," Ben said.
+
+They picked up their bag. They went back to their mom. They told her what happened. She was proud of them. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She took them home. They had a snack and a nap. They dreamed of birds.
+Tom and Lily liked to play golf with their dad. Golf was a game where you hit a small ball with a stick and try to make it go into a hole. Sometimes they went to a big field with many holes and flags. Sometimes they played in their backyard with a bucket and a toy stick.
+
+One day, they were playing in their backyard. Tom wanted to win. He was competitive. He always tried to hit the ball first and make it go into the bucket. Lily did not care who won. She just wanted to have fun. She liked to hit the ball softly and watch it roll on the grass.
+
+"Look, I made it in the bucket!" Tom shouted. He ran to the bucket and picked up his ball. He held it up and smiled.
+
+"Good job, Tom!" Lily said. She clapped her hands. She hit her ball and it went past the bucket. She did not mind. She ran after her ball.
+
+Tom saw Lily's ball. He had an idea. He wanted to make Lily laugh. He put his ball back in the bucket. Then he ran to Lily's ball. He picked it up and threw it in the air. He shouted, "Watch me, Lily!" He ran to the bucket and jumped. He tried to dive into the bucket like a fish.
+
+But the bucket was too small for Tom. He hit his head on the edge of the bucket. He fell on the ground. He dropped Lily's ball. He felt a big pain in his head. He started to cry.
+
+Lily heard Tom cry. She saw him on the ground. She ran to him. She was worried. She said, "Tom, are you okay? What did you do?"
+
+Tom looked at Lily. He saw her ball on the grass. He saw the bucket on its side. He realized he did something silly. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I wanted to dive into the bucket. I wanted to make you laugh. But I hurt myself."
+
+Lily hugged Tom. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You don't have to dive into the bucket to make me laugh. You make me laugh when you smile and play with me. Come on, let's go inside. Mom will make your head feel better."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I love you."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, Tom."
+
+They held hands and walked inside. They left the golf game behind. They decided to play something else later. Something that did not involve diving.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to draw with pencils. One day, they go to the park to draw. It is cold outside. They wear hats and coats.
+
+They find a bench and sit down. They take out their pencils and paper. Tom draws a big house. Anna draws a pretty flower. They are happy.
+
+But then, a big boy comes. He is mean. He sees Tom and Anna's pencils. He wants them. He runs to the bench and grabs them. He says, "These are mine now!"
+
+Tom and Anna are scared. They say, "No, please, give them back! They are ours!" But the big boy does not listen. He laughs and runs away.
+
+Tom and Anna are sad. They have no pencils. They cannot draw. They call for help. But no one hears them. They cry. They are cold and alone. The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make music with their drums, bells and shakers. They took turns to play and listen to each other.
+
+But then Ben wanted to play with Lily's drum. He grabbed it from her hands and said, "I want this drum. It is mine now."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "No, Ben. That is my drum. You have your own drum. Give it back to me."
+
+Ben did not listen. He hit the drum hard and made a loud noise. Lily did not like the noise. She slapped Ben on his cheek and said, "Stop it, Ben. You are mean and rude."
+
+Ben was surprised and hurt. He dropped the drum and started to cry. He said, "Ow, Lily. That hurt. Why did you slap me?"
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She did not want to hurt him. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was mad at you. You should not take my drum. You should ask me first."
+
+Ben said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was selfish. I should not take your drum. I should share with you."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other and said, "We are sorry. We are friends."
+
+They picked up their drums and played music together. They made happy sounds and smiled. They were not sad anymore.
+Lily and Lila were twins. They liked to play in the park with their mom. One day, they saw a big dog near the swings. The dog was barking and running around.
+
+"Mom, can we pet the dog?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, sweeties, the dog is not friendly. He might bite you. Stay away from him," Mom warned.
+
+But Lila was curious. She wanted to see the dog up close. She sneaked away from Mom and Lily and walked towards the dog.
+
+"Lila, come back! The dog is bad!" Lily shouted.
+
+But it was too late. The dog saw Lila and ran towards her. He growled and showed his teeth. Lila was scared. She screamed and tried to run away.
+
+Mom heard Lila's scream and ran to help her. She picked up Lila and hugged her. She shooed the dog away with her foot.
+
+"Are you okay, Lila?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom, I'm okay. But I'm sorry. I didn't listen to you. I was silly," Lila said.
+
+"It's okay, Lila. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to listen to me when I warn you. I only want to protect you and Lily. You are my precious twins," Mom said.
+
+Lily ran to Lila and Mom and hugged them. She was happy that Lila was not hurt.
+
+"I love you, Lila. I love you, Mom. I'm sorry I was scared," Lily said.
+
+"I love you, too, Lily. I love you, too, Mom. I'm sorry I made you scared," Lila said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them both.
+
+"I love you both, my brave twins. Now let's go home and have some cookies," Mom said.
+
+They all walked home, holding hands. They never went near the big dog again.
+Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa for the weekend. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and books. Mom and Dad helped them put their bags in the car.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Lily asked after a while.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We still have a long way to go," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom looked out the window. They saw cows, trees and flowers. They sang songs and played games. They ate some snacks. Lily liked peanuts. Tom liked crackers.
+
+Finally, they arrived at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grandma and Grandpa were waiting for them with big hugs and kisses.
+
+"Welcome, welcome! We're so glad you're here!" Grandma said.
+
+"Come on, let's go inside. We have a surprise for you!" Grandpa said.
+
+Lily and Tom followed Grandma and Grandpa into the house. They saw a big yellow box in the living room.
+
+"What's that?" Lily asked.
+
+"That's your surprise. Go ahead, open it!" Grandma said.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the box. They tore off the paper and opened the lid. Inside, they found a big teddy bear, a doll, a puzzle and a book.
+
+"Wow! Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+"You're very welcome, dear. We hope you like them," Grandpa said.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged Grandma and Grandpa. They were very happy. They unpacked their bags and put them in their room. Then they played with their new toys. They had a lot of fun. They loved Grandma and Grandpa's house.
+Tom and Anna were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, slide, swing and climb. It was a cold day, so they wore their sweaters. Tom had a blue sweater and Anna had a pink sweater.
+
+"Look, mom, I can go very high on the swing!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Be careful, Tom, don't fall off!" mom said.
+
+Anna wanted to show mom her slide skills. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She saw a bird on the top of the slide. It was a black bird with a yellow beak. It looked at Anna and made a loud noise.
+
+"Hello, bird, do you want to play with me?" Anna asked.
+
+The bird did not answer. It flapped its wings and flew away. Anna slid down the slide and followed the bird with her eyes. She saw the bird land on a big tree. She wanted to see it closer. She ran to the tree and looked up.
+
+"Where are you, bird?" Anna called.
+
+She saw the bird on a branch. It was not moving. It was lying on its side. It looked dead.
+
+"Mom, mom, come here!" Anna cried.
+
+Mom heard Anna and ran to the tree. She saw the bird too. She hugged Anna and said:
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna, the bird is dead. It can't play with you anymore. It disappeared."
+
+Anna felt sad. She did not understand why the bird was dead. She wanted to play with it. She asked mom:
+
+"Why did the bird disappear, mom? Did it do something bad?"
+
+Mom shook her head and said:
+
+"No, Anna, the bird did not do anything bad. Sometimes, things disappear for no reason. It's part of life. We don't always know why. But we can remember them and be thankful for the time we had with them."
+
+Anna nodded. She looked at the bird and said:
+
+"Thank you, bird, for being my friend. I hope you are happy somewhere else."
+
+She kissed the bird and put her pink sweater on it. She hoped it would keep the bird warm. She said goodbye to the bird and walked back to the slide with mom. Tom joined them and they played some more. They had fun, but they also missed the bird. They never forgot it.
+Lily liked to draw on the blackboard. She used many colors and shapes. She drew flowers, stars, and animals. She was very happy with her drawings.
+
+One day, her teacher came to see her work. She smiled and said, "Lily, you are a brilliant artist. Your drawings are very pretty and creative. Do you want to learn how to improve them?"
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to make her drawings even better. She liked to learn new things.
+
+The teacher showed her how to use a ruler, a compass, and a eraser. She taught her how to make straight lines, circles, and curves. She also taught her how to mix colors and make shadows.
+
+Lily tried to follow the teacher's instructions. She practiced a lot. She erased some parts and added some details. She was very careful and patient.
+
+Soon, her drawings looked more realistic and neat. She was very proud of her improvement. She showed her new drawings to the teacher and said, "Thank you for helping me. I learned a lot from you."
+
+The teacher hugged her and said, "You are very welcome, Lily. You are a brilliant student. You worked hard and improved your skills. I am very proud of you."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many trees and flowers. They wanted to go there and explore.
+
+"Come on, Tom, let's go to the hill!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. We don't know what is there," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the hill and started to climb. They saw many birds and bugs and rocks. They felt happy and curious. They wanted to see more.
+
+They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a big house with a fence and a gate. It looked old and scary. They heard a loud bark and saw a big dog. It looked angry and mean.
+
+"Tom, look, a dog!" Lily said.
+
+"Lily, run, it's a bad dog!" Tom said.
+
+They turned around and tried to run. But the dog was faster and jumped over the fence. It ran after them and bit Tom's leg. Tom fell down and cried. Lily screamed and ran to help him.
+
+"Help, help, someone help us!" Lily shouted.
+
+But no one heard them. They were too far from the park. They were in an unknown place with a bad dog. They were scared and hurt. They wished they never went to the hill.
+Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to wake up early and see the sunrise. They had a big window in their room that showed the sky and the trees.
+
+One morning, they woke up before their mom and dad. They put on their slippers and ran to the window. They saw the sky was pink and orange and yellow. They saw the sun peeking over the hills. They saw the birds flying and singing.
+
+"Wow, look at the sunrise!" Lily said. "It is so lovely!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Tom said. "Let's go outside and see it better!"
+
+They put on their coats and hats and went downstairs. They opened the door and ran to the backyard. They lay down on the grass and looked at the sunrise. They felt the sun warm their faces. They smiled and hugged each other.
+
+They heard their mom and dad calling them. They got up and ran back to the house. They told them about the sunrise and how lovely it was. Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them.
+
+They had breakfast together and talked about their plans for the day. They were happy and excited. They loved the sunrise and each other.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their blocks on the carpet. They like to build towers and bridges and castles. They are having fun and talking to each other.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower!" Anna says, showing Ben her blocks.
+
+"Wow, that's great!" Ben says. "Can I help you?"
+
+"Sure, you can put more blocks on top," Anna says.
+
+They work together to make the tower taller and taller. They are very careful not to knock it down.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot, who runs into the room. Spot likes to play too, but he does not know how to play with blocks. He sees the tower and thinks it is a toy. He jumps on it and tries to bite it.
+
+"Spot, no!" Anna and Ben shout. "You will break our tower!"
+
+They run to the carpet and try to prevent Spot from destroying their blocks. They pull him away and hug him.
+
+"Bad dog, Spot!" Anna says. "You can't play with our blocks. They are not for you."
+
+"Sorry, Spot," Ben says. "We love you, but you have to be gentle. Here, you can play with your ball."
+
+They give Spot his ball and he runs away, happy. Anna and Ben look at their tower. It is still standing, but some blocks are missing or crooked.
+
+"Oh no, our tower is ruined," Anna says, sadly.
+
+"It's okay, we can fix it," Ben says, bravely. "We still have more blocks. And we have each other."
+
+They smile and hug. Then they start to rebuild their tower. They are successful and make it even bigger and better than before. They are proud of their work and their friendship. They are happy.
+Anna liked to take pictures with her camera. She had a pink camera that her mom gave her for her birthday. She took pictures of her toys, her dog, and her family.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and her brother. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She asked her mom if she could take her camera with her. Her mom said yes, but she recommended that she hold it tight and be careful.
+
+Anna climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She held her camera in one hand and smiled. She wanted to take a picture of herself on the slide. She pressed the button, but then she slipped and slid down very fast. She screamed and dropped her camera. It landed on the grass with a thud.
+
+Anna was scared and sad. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "Mommy, I'm sorry, I broke my camera!" Her mom hugged her back and said, "It's okay, sweetie, it was an accident. Let's see if we can fix it."
+
+They went to the grass and picked up the camera. It had a crack on the screen and some dirt on it. Anna felt embarrassed. She saw some other kids looking at her and laughing. She said, "Mommy, they are making fun of me. They think I'm silly."
+
+Her mom said, "Don't worry, Anna, they are not being nice. You are not silly, you are brave and creative. You like to take pictures and that's a good thing. Maybe next time, you can use a strap to keep your camera safe. Or you can ask me or your brother to help you."
+
+Anna nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mommy, you are the best. I love you and I love my camera." Her mom said, "I love you too, Anna. And I love your pictures. Let's go home and see if we can fix your camera. Maybe we can print some of your pictures and put them on the fridge."
+
+Anna agreed and held her mom's hand. She felt better and proud. She still liked to take pictures with her camera. She learned to be more careful and to listen to her mom's recommendations. She also learned to ignore the mean kids and to enjoy her hobby. She was a happy and smart girl.
+Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play with blocks and dolls. One day, Tom was angry. He did not want to share his blocks with Sue. He said, "Go away, Sue. You are ugly and mean. I don't like you."
+
+Sue was sad. She ran away and cried. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She wanted to find a new friend.
+
+Tom played with his blocks alone. He made a big tower. He was proud of his tower. But he was also lonely. He missed Sue. He wanted to say sorry to Sue. He looked for Sue, but he could not find her.
+
+He saw a paper and a crayon. He had an idea. He wrote a message for Sue. He wrote, "Sue, I am sorry. You are not ugly and mean. You are pretty and nice. I like you. Please come back and play with me."
+
+He put the message on Sue's doll. He hoped Sue would see it. He waited for Sue.
+
+Sue came back. She saw her doll. She saw the message. She read it. She smiled. She was happy. She ran to Tom. She said, "Tom, I am sorry too. You are not angry and rude. You are kind and fun. I like you. Thank you for the message."

+Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big bottle on the table. It is red and shiny. Lily says, "What is that?"
+
+Ben says, "I don't know. Maybe it is juice. I want some."
+
+They go to the table and take the bottle. They open it and smell it. It smells funny. Ben says, "It is not juice. It is wine. Mommy and Daddy drink wine sometimes. They say it is incredible."
+
+Lily says, "Can we try it?"
+
+Ben says, "No, we can't. Wine is not for kids. It is only for grown-ups. It can make us sick. We have to put it back."
+
+They close the bottle and put it back on the table. They run away and play with their toys. They are good kids. They do not drink wine. They drink water and milk. They are happy.

+
+Ben says, "Yes, I want to come to your house. Thank you for inviting me." They walk to Anna's house, holding hands.
+
+When they get to Anna's house, they see a big pool in the backyard. Anna says, "Look, we can swim in the pool. It is very hot today. Do you have a swimsuit?"
+
+Ben says, "No, I don't have a swimsuit. I only have my clothes."
+
+Anna says, "That's okay. You can borrow one of mine. Come, I will show you where they are." She takes Ben to her room and gives him a swimsuit. She says, "Here, you can wear this. It is clean and new. I got it for my birthday."
+
+Ben looks at the swimsuit. It is pink and has flowers on it. He says, "But this is a girl's swimsuit. I don't want to wear this. I am a boy."
+
+Anna says, "So what? It is just a swimsuit. It doesn't matter if it is for a girl or a boy. It is fun to swim in the pool. Don't be silly."
+
+Ben says, "No, I don't want to wear this. It is not fun. It is embarrassing. I want to wear my clothes."
+
+Anna says, "But you can't wear your clothes in the pool. They will get wet and dirty. And you will be cold and uncomfortable. You need a swimsuit."
+
+Ben says, "No, I don't need a swimsuit. I don't want to swim in the pool. I want to play with your toys and have a snack."
+
+Anna says, "But I want to swim in the pool. It is my house and my pool. You have to do what I say. You have to wear the swimsuit."
+
+Ben says, "No, I don't have to do what you say. You are not my boss. You are not nice. You are mean. I don't want to be your friend anymore. I want to go home."
+
+Anna says, "Fine, go home then. But you have to give me back the swimsuit. And the towel. I gave you a towel too. It is clean and soft. You can't take it with you."
+
+Ben says, "Fine, I will give you back the swimsuit and the towel. But I don't want to see you again. You are a bad friend. You are rude. You are selfish."
+
+They throw the swimsuit and the towel at each other. They start to cry. They run away from each other. They are very sad and angry. They are not friends anymore.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun together.
+
+One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a big dog. The dog is smelly. It has brown fur and a wet nose. The boy says his name is Sam and his dog is Rex.
+
+"Hi, Sam. Hi, Rex. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asks.
+
+Sam nods. He likes to make new friends. He throws the ball for Rex. Rex runs after it and brings it back. Ben and Lily clap.
+
+"Can I try your bike?" Sam asks Ben.
+
+"Sure, you can. It is blue and fast. But be careful. It has a bell. You have to ring it when you see people." Ben says.
+
+Sam gets on the bike. He pedals and rings the bell. He smiles. He likes the bike. Rex follows him and barks.
+
+"Can I fly your kite?" Sam asks Lily.
+
+"Sure, you can. It is red and high. But be careful. It has a string. You have to hold it tight or it will fly away." Lily says.
+
+Sam takes the kite. He runs and lets it go. He watches it soar in the sky. He laughs. He likes the kite. Rex jumps and tries to catch it.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They have a new friend. They include Sam and Rex in their games. They share their toys and their snacks. They have more fun together. They are not afraid of the smelly dog. They think he is cute and friendly. They pet him and hug him. Rex wags his tail and licks their faces. He likes them too. They are his friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was friendly and wagged his tail. He came to Lily and Ben and licked their faces.
+
+"Hi, doggy!" Lily said. "You are nice and soft."
+
+Ben smiled and petted the dog. He saw the dog's paws and his toes. He wanted to touch them. He reached for the dog's toe and pulled it.
+
+"Ow!" the dog barked. He was angry and scared. He bit Ben's hand and ran away.
+
+"Ben, no!" Lily cried. She saw Ben's hand was red and hurt. She hugged him and kissed his hand. "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben cried and shook his head. He was scared and in pain. He wished he did not pull the dog's toe.
+
+Lily and Ben went to their mom. She saw Ben's hand and took him to the doctor. The doctor cleaned his hand and gave him a bandage. He told Ben to be careful and gentle with animals.
+
+"Animals have feelings too," the doctor said. "They don't like it when you pull their toes or hurt them. They might bite you or run away. You have to respect them and be kind to them."
+
+Ben nodded and said sorry. He learned his lesson. He did not want to pull any toes again. He wanted to be a good friend to animals. He thanked the doctor and hugged Lily. Lily kissed his cheek and smiled.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be respectful and kind to animals. Don't hurt them or make them scared. They might bite you or run away. Treat them as you want to be treated.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a robot. The robot can talk and move. Lily and Ben are very happy.
+
+They take the robot to the living room. They want to show it to their mom and dad. But on the way, they see a cord on the floor. The cord is for the lamp. Lily and Ben do not see the cord.

+
+They cry and cry. They say they are sorry. They want to fix the robot. They pick up the robot and its head. They look for glue or tape. They do not find any. They do not know what to do.
+
+Mom and dad hear them cry. They come to the living room. They see the broken robot and the cord. They are not angry. They hug Lily and Ben. They say it is okay. They say they can help them repair the robot. They take the robot and its head to the garage. They have tools and wires. They work together. They put the robot back together.

+Lily was very happy. Today was her birthday. She was going to have a party with her friends. She had a colorful dress and a big cake. She wanted to play games and open presents.
+
+She asked her mom, "Can I have a balloon?" Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to believe in magic." Lily was curious. She loved magic. She wondered what her mom meant.
+
+Her mom gave her a balloon. It was pink, her favorite color. She said, "This is a special balloon. If you make a wish and blow on it, it will come true. But you have to believe in your wish with all your heart." Lily was excited. She thought of a wish. She wanted a pony. She loved ponies. She blew on the balloon and closed her eyes.
+
+She opened her eyes and saw a big surprise. There was a pony in the backyard. It was white with a pink mane and tail. It had a bow on its head. It looked like a fairy tale pony. Lily was amazed. She ran to the pony and hugged it. She said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best mom ever!"
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "You are welcome, my sweetie. Happy birthday! I'm glad you believed in magic. Now, let's go have fun at your party!" Lily nodded and smiled. She was the happiest girl in the world. She had a colorful party, a big cake, and a pony. She believed in magic. And she believed in her mom.
+Lily liked to polish her shoes. She used a soft cloth and some shiny cream. She rubbed and rubbed until her shoes looked new. She was very tidy and put the cloth and the cream away.
+
+She wanted to go for a walk with her dog, Spot. She put on her shoes and her coat. She looked for Spot's leash. She could not find it. She looked under the bed, in the closet, and behind the sofa. No leash.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, where is Spot's leash?"
+
+Mom said, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe you left it outside."
+
+Lily ran to the door and opened it. She saw Spot in the yard. He had the leash in his mouth. He was playing with it. He was not tidy.
+
+Lily called, "Spot, come here! Give me the leash!"
+
+Spot wagged his tail and ran to Lily. He dropped the leash at her feet. It was dirty and wet.
+
+Lily picked up the leash and said, "Bad dog, Spot! You made the leash dirty. Now I have to polish it."
+
+She took Spot inside and got another cloth and some water. She washed and dried the leash. She made it shiny again.
+
+She said, "There, now the leash is tidy. Let's go for a walk, Spot."
+
+Spot barked and licked her face. He was happy. Lily was happy too. She liked to polish things.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the garden. But today it is raining. They are grumpy. They do not want to stay inside.
+
+"Let's go and see the drain," Tim says. "Maybe we can find something fun there."
+
+"OK," Sam says. "But we have to be careful. Mom and Dad do not like us to go near the drain."
+
+They put on their boots and coats and sneak out of the house. They run to the drain at the end of the street. It is big and round and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Wow, look at the water!" Tim says. "It is fast and dirty. Do you think there are any fish in there?"
+
+"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe. But I see something else. Look, there is a ball stuck in the drain. It is red and shiny. I want it!"
+
+Sam tries to reach the ball with his hand. But he is too short. He leans over the drain and stretches his arm. He almost falls in.
+
+"Sam, stop!" Tim says. "It is too dangerous. You can't get the ball. Come back!"
+
+But Sam does not listen. He wants the ball. He speaks to the ball. He says, "Ball, ball, come to me. I will be your friend. I will play with you."
+
+The ball does not speak. It does not move. It is stuck in the drain. The water pushes it harder and harder.
+
+"Sam, please!" Tim says. "You are silly. The ball does not speak. It is not alive. It is just a thing. You have to let it go. You have to come back to me. I am your brother. I love you."
+
+Tim speaks to Sam. He is scared and sad. He does not want to lose Sam. He hopes Sam will listen. He hopes Sam will come back.
+Anna did not like broccoli. She thought it was green and yucky. She did not want to eat it for dinner. She hid it under her napkin and hoped Mommy would not see.
+
+But Mommy saw. She said, "Anna, you have to eat your broccoli. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy."
+
+Anna shook her head. She said, "No, Mommy, I don't like broccoli. It is scary. It looks like little trees. I don't want to eat trees."
+
+Mommy smiled. She said, "Broccoli is not scary, Anna. It is yummy. Here, I have an idea. Let's pretend we are giants and the broccoli is a forest. We can spray some cheese on it and make it more tasty. Then we can eat it and make funny noises. Do you want to try?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She liked cheese. She liked making funny noises. She said, "Okay, Mommy, let's try. But only a little bit."
+
+Mommy got a can of cheese and sprayed some on the broccoli. She gave Anna a fork and said, "Ready, Anna? Let's be giants and eat the forest. Nom, nom, nom."
+
+Anna took a bite of the broccoli. She made a loud crunch. She said, "Nom, nom, nom. This is not so bad, Mommy. It is kind of good."
+
+Mommy said, "See, Anna? Broccoli is not scary. It is fun and delicious. I'm glad you tried it. You are a brave and smart girl."
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I like broccoli now. Can I have some more?"
+
+Mommy said, "Of course, Anna. You can have as much as you want. I'm proud of you. You learned something new today. You learned that trying new things can be good. And you learned that broccoli is not scary, but yummy."
+
+The end.
+Tommy liked to catch lizards in the park. He put them in a big jar and took them home. He did not give them water or food. He just watched them move and change color.
+
+One day, he caught a big lizard with a long tail and bright spots. He thought it was very pretty. He put it in the jar with the other lizards. He said, "You are mine now. You belong to me."
+
+But the big lizard did not like the jar. It was too small and crowded. It wanted to go back to the park, where it could run and hide and hunt. It was not happy. It was angry.
+
+The big lizard waited until Tommy was asleep. Then it used its sharp teeth and strong tail to break the jar. It made a loud noise. It scared the other lizards. They all ran out of the jar and into the room.
+
+Tommy woke up and saw the lizards everywhere. He screamed and cried. He tried to catch them, but they were too fast and smart. They hid under the bed, behind the books, in the closet. They bit and scratched Tommy when he got too close.
+
+Tommy's mom and dad came and saw the mess. They were very mad. They scolded Tommy for being so lazy and cruel. They said, "You cannot keep lizards as pets. They are wild animals. They do not belong in a jar. They belong in the park. You have to let them go."
+
+They took Tommy and the lizards to the park. They let the lizards go. The big lizard was the first to run away. It looked at Tommy with a mean eye. It said, "You are not mine. You do not belong to me. You belong to your mom and dad. They will teach you how to be kind and respectful."
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. Do not hurt what is alive. Do not be lazy and selfish. Be kind and respectful.
+Anna loves to play in the garden. She likes to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. One day, she finds a long, slimy worm. She picks it up and shows it to her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, I found a worm!" Anna says. "It is so cute and wiggly!"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's nice, Anna, but you should be gentle with the worm. It is a living thing and it needs the dirt to be happy and healthy. You can look at it for a little while, but then you should put it back where you found it."
+
+Anna nods and says, "Okay, mom, I will. Can I give it a name?"
+
+"Sure, what do you want to call it?" Mom asks.
+
+Anna thinks for a moment and says, "I want to call it Rosie, because it is pink and pretty."
+
+Mom laughs and says, "That's a lovely name, Anna. Rosie is a lucky worm to have you as a friend."
+
+Anna holds Rosie in her hand and talks to it softly. She tells it stories and sings to it. She feels happy and proud to have a worm as a pet. She thinks Rosie is the best thing she ever received.
+
+But soon, she notices that Rosie is not moving as much as before. She looks sad and tired. Anna feels worried and sorry for Rosie. She remembers what mom said about the dirt. She realizes that Rosie is not happy in her hand. She needs to go back to the garden.
+
+Anna runs to mom and says, "Mom, I think Rosie wants to go home. She is not wiggly anymore. She is sad. Can I take her back to the dirt?"
+
+Mom hugs Anna and says, "Of course, Anna. That's very kind and smart of you. You are a good friend to Rosie. Let's go together and find a nice spot for her."
+
+Anna and mom go to the garden and dig a small hole. Anna gently places Rosie in the hole and covers her with dirt. She says, "Bye, Rosie. Thank you for being my friend. I hope you are happy and healthy. Maybe I will see you again someday."
+
+Rosie wiggles a little and disappears into the dirt. Anna feels a little sad, but also happy. She knows she did the right thing. She learned to respect and care for other living things. She learned that sometimes, the best way to love someone is to let them go.
+Anna liked to bounce. She bounced on her bed, on the sofa, on the ball. She bounced everywhere. But sometimes, bouncing was not good. Like when she had to go to class.
+
+"Anna, it's time for class. Stop bouncing and put on your shoes," Mommy said.
+
+"But I don't want to go to class. I want to bounce," Anna said.
+
+"Class is fun. You can learn new things and play with your friends. And you have to be obedient and listen to your teacher. Bouncing is for later," Mommy said.
+
+Anna pouted. She did not like to be obedient. She liked to bounce. But she also liked Mommy. And she did not want to make Mommy sad. So she put on her shoes and went to class.
+
+At class, Anna saw her friends. They were playing with blocks, with dolls, with cars. Anna wanted to play too. But she also wanted to bounce. She saw a big ball in the corner. She ran to it and started to bounce.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" Teacher asked.
+
+"I'm bouncing. Bouncing is fun," Anna said.
+
+"Anna, bouncing is not for class. Bouncing is for outside. In class, you have to sit and listen and do your work. And you have to be obedient and follow the rules. Bouncing is for later," Teacher said.
+
+Anna frowned. She did not like to sit and listen and do her work. She liked to bounce. But she also liked Teacher. And she did not want to make Teacher angry. So she left the ball and went to her seat.
+
+After class, Anna went outside. She saw the big ball again. She ran to it and started to bounce. She bounced high and low, fast and slow. She bounced with joy.
+
+"Anna, you can bounce now. Bouncing is for outside. Outside, you can have fun and be free. And you can be obedient and come back when I call you. Bouncing is for now," Teacher said.
+
+Anna smiled. She liked to bounce. She liked to have fun and be free. And she liked to be obedient and come back when Teacher called her. Bouncing was for now. And she was happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing with yarn. They liked to make shapes and patterns with the colorful yarn. Lily made a heart, and Tom made a star.
+
+"Look, I made a heart for you!" Lily said, giving her yarn heart to Tom.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. I made a star for you!" Tom said, giving his yarn star to Lily.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They were happy.
+
+But then, Mom came into the room. She was angry. She saw the yarn on the floor and on the table.
+
+"What are you doing? You made a big mess! You are not supposed to play with yarn. Yarn is for cooking, not for playing!" Mom said, shouting.
+
+She took the yarn from Lily and Tom. She threw their yarn shapes in the trash. She pulled the yarn hard and made it into a ball.
+
+Lily and Tom were sad. They cried. They did not understand why Mom was so mean. They did not know that yarn was for cooking.
+
+Mom took the yarn ball to the kitchen. She put it in a pot with water. She turned on the stove. She wanted to cook the yarn and make soup.
+
+But she did not know that yarn was not good for cooking. Yarn was not food. Yarn was for playing, or for making clothes, or for other things.
+
+The yarn in the pot got hot and wet. It melted and burned. It made a bad smell and a lot of smoke. It made the pot rough and dirty.
+
+The smoke alarm went off. It made a loud noise. It scared Mom. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the yarn soup. She was shocked.
+
+She tried to take the pot off the stove. But it was too hot. She burned her hand. She dropped the pot. The yarn soup spilled on the floor. It made a bigger mess.
+
+Mom was hurt and sorry. She wished she had not cooked the yarn. She wished she had not yelled at Lily and Tom. She wished she had been nice to them.
+
+She went to Lily and Tom. They were still crying. She hugged them and said sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily and Tom. I was wrong. Yarn is not for cooking. Yarn is for playing. You can play with yarn. You can make whatever you want with yarn. I love you. Please forgive me." Mom said, softly.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at Mom. They saw her burned hand and her sad face. They felt sorry for her. They forgave her. They hugged her back and said they loved her.
+
+They were happy again.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't cook yarn. Yarn is not food. Yarn is for playing. And don't be mean to your children. Be nice to them. They are your heart and your star.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. They saw a big white thing in the dirt. It looked like a flower, but it was hard and bumpy.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked.
+
+"It is a cauliflower," Ben said. "Mama grows it for dinner. She says it is good for us."
+
+Lily touched the cauliflower. It felt funny. She wanted to see what was inside. She squeezed it with her hands. The cauliflower broke into small pieces. Some of them fell on the ground.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben said. "You broke Mama's cauliflower! She will be mad at us!"
+
+Lily felt scared. She did not mean to break the cauliflower. She did not want Mama to be mad at her. She started to cry.
+
+"Shh, don't cry," Ben said. He hugged Lily and picked up the pieces of cauliflower. "Maybe we can fix it. Let's go to the kitchen and find some glue."
+
+They ran to the kitchen. They looked for glue, but they could not find any. They saw a big pot on the stove. It had water and salt in it. Ben had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can cook the cauliflower," he said. "Then it will stick together again. And Mama will be happy."
+
+He put the pieces of cauliflower in the pot. He turned on the stove. He did not know how long to cook it. He waited for a while. He smelled something bad.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+They looked at the pot. The water was boiling. The cauliflower was soft and mushy. It did not look like a flower anymore. It looked like a mess.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "You cooked Mama's cauliflower too much! She will be mad at us!"
+
+Ben felt scared. He did not mean to cook the cauliflower too much. He did not want Mama to be mad at him. He started to cry.
+
+"Shh, don't cry," Lily said. She hugged Ben and turned off the stove. "Maybe we can eat the cauliflower. Then it will be gone. And Mama will not see it."
+
+They took two spoons and tried to eat the cauliflower. It tasted bad. It was salty and soggy. They did not like it. They spit it out.
+
+"Yuck!" Ben said.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said.
+
+They heard a noise. It was Mama. She came into the kitchen. She saw the pot and the spoons and the cauliflower. She looked at Lily and Ben. They looked at Mama. They felt scared.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mama asked.
+
+They did not know what to say. They were afraid Mama would be mad at them. They were afraid Mama would not love them.
+
+They said nothing. They hung their heads. They waited for Mama to yell.
+
+But Mama did not yell. Mama smiled. Mama laughed. Mama hugged them.
+
+"It's okay," Mama said. "I know you were trying to help. But you don't have to worry. I have another cauliflower in the fridge. And I have some cheese and bread. We can make a yummy dinner. And we can throw away this one. It is not good anymore."
+
+Lily and Ben felt happy. They felt relieved. They felt loved.
+
+"Thank you, Mama," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Mama," Ben said.
+
+They hugged Mama back. They felt safe. They felt warm. They felt good.
+Anna and Ben liked to pretend a lot. They had many toys to play with, but their favorite was the big box. The big box could be any vehicle they wanted. Sometimes it was a car, sometimes a plane, sometimes a boat.
+
+One day, they decided to pretend the box was a rocket. They drew windows and buttons on the box with crayons. They put on helmets and backpacks. They counted down from ten to one and shouted, "Blast off!"
+
+They flew the rocket to the moon. They saw stars and planets and met a friendly alien. They had a picnic with cheese and crackers. They had so much fun.
+
+But then they remembered their mom. She was at home, working on her computer. She had a lot of work to do and looked tired. Anna and Ben felt sorry for her. They wanted to do something nice for her.
+
+They had a thoughtful idea. They flew the rocket back to Earth. They took some flowers and a card from the garden. They knocked on the door and gave them to their mom. She smiled and hugged them. She said, "Thank you, my little astronauts. You are the best."
+
+Anna and Ben were happy. They loved their mom and their rocket. They decided to pretend some more. They wondered what vehicle they would choose next.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they find a cute bird in a nest. The bird is small and yellow. It has no feathers on its wings.
+
+"Look, a baby bird!" Anna says. "It is so cute!"
+
+"Can we keep it?" Ben asks. "We can give it water and seeds."
+
+Anna shakes her head. "No, we can't. The bird has a mommy and a daddy. They will come back soon. They will worry if they don't see their baby."
+
+Ben nods. He understands. He likes his mommy and daddy too. He would be sad if they were gone.
+
+"Okay, then let's set it back in the nest," he says. "We can watch it from far away."
+
+They carefully pick up the bird and put it back in the nest. They hide behind a bush and wait. After a while, they see two big birds fly to the nest. They have feathers on their wings. They are the bird's mommy and daddy.
+
+The baby bird chirps happily. The mommy and daddy bird feed it and cuddle it. Anna and Ben smile. They are glad the bird is safe and happy.
+
+They go back to their toys and play. They have a new friend in the garden. They will come back and visit the bird again. But they will not touch it. They will let it grow and fly.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the woods. They liked to look for bugs and birds and flowers. They saw a big pile of lumber near a hut. The lumber was brown and hard and had nails in it.
+
+"Let's build a fort with the lumber!" Tim said. He picked up a piece and dragged it to a clearing.
+
+"No, Tim, that's not ours. That's for the hut. We can't take it," Lily said. She was scared of the hut. It looked old and dark and had a dead tree next to it.
+
+"Who cares? No one lives in the hut. It's dead too. Come on, Lily, it will be fun!" Tim said. He did not listen to Lily. He took more lumber and started to stack it.
+
+Lily followed Tim, but she did not touch the lumber. She looked around and saw a sign on the hut. It said "Keep out". She felt a cold wind blow. She heard a loud noise.
+
+"Tim, what was that?" Lily asked. She was afraid.
+
+Tim turned around and saw a big man coming out of the hut. He had a beard and a hat and a saw. He looked angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my lumber? That's mine! Get away from there!" the man shouted. He ran towards Tim and Lily.
+
+Tim and Lily dropped the lumber and ran away. They were very scared. They did not stop until they reached their home.
+
+They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said they were lucky. She said they should never go near the hut again. She said the man was a lumberjack and he worked hard to cut the lumber. She said they should respect his property and his privacy.
+
+Tim and Lily said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played with the lumber again. They found other things to do in the woods. They were happy and safe.
+Tommy was sick. He had a bad cough and a sore throat. His mom took him to the doctor. The doctor looked at Tommy and said, "You have a cold. You need to take this pill every day. It will make you feel better."
+
+Tommy did not like pills. They were big and hard and disgusting. He did not want to swallow them. He said, "No, no, no! I don't want the pill!"
+
+His mom said, "Tommy, you have to take the pill. It is good for you. It will help you stop coughing and hurting. If you don't take the pill, you will stay sick for a long time."
+
+Tommy still did not want the pill. He cried and kicked and hid under the bed. His mom was sad and tired. She said, "Tommy, please, listen to me. I love you and I want you to be well. The pill is not so bad. You can have some juice or candy after you take it. It will make the pill go down easier. Please, Tommy, be a good boy and take the pill."
+
+Tommy looked at his mom. He saw that she was worried and kind. He did not want to make her sad. He loved her too. He said, "Okay, mom. I will try the pill. But I don't like it. It is disgusting."
+
+His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "Thank you, Tommy. You are a brave boy. I am proud of you. Here is the pill. Open your mouth and swallow it. Then you can have some juice or candy."
+
+Tommy opened his mouth and took the pill. He made a face and said, "Yuck!" But he swallowed it. Then he had some juice and candy. He said, "The juice and candy are good. The pill is bad. But I did it. I took the pill."
+
+His mom said, "Yes, you did. You are a good boy. I love you. The pill will make you feel better soon. Now you can rest and play. But remember, you have to take the pill every day until the cold is gone."
+
+Tommy nodded. He said, "I know, mom. I will take the pill every day. But I still don't like it. It is disgusting."
+
+His mom said, "I know, Tommy. But it is worth it. You will be well and happy again. And I will be with you. We will get through this together."
+
+Tommy smiled and hugged his mom. He said, "I love you, mom. You are the best."
+
+His mom said, "I love you too, Tommy. You are the best too."
+Ben and Mia are playing in the snow. They want to make an igloo, a big house of snow. They roll big balls of snow and stack them together. They make a door and a window. They are very happy.
+
+But Tom, their big brother, is bored. He does not like the snow. He wants to play with his video games. He sees Ben and Mia's igloo and thinks it is silly. He decides to disturb them. He is very careless.
+
+He runs to the igloo and kicks it hard. The snow balls fall down and break. The igloo is ruined. Ben and Mia are very sad. They cry and shout.
+
+"Tom, why did you do that?" Ben asks. "You are very mean!"
+
+"Go away, you babies!" Tom says. "Your igloo is stupid. It is not a real house. It is just snow."
+
+Ben and Mia run to their mom and tell her what Tom did. Mom is very angry. She scolds Tom and makes him apologize. She tells him to help Ben and Mia make a new igloo. She tells him to be nice and careful.
+
+Tom is very sorry. He says he is sorry to Ben and Mia. He helps them make a new igloo. He is nice and careful. He even plays with them inside the igloo. They have fun.

+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has thick fur and a long tail. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces.
+
+"Hi, doggy!" Tom says. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks. He has a collar around his neck. The collar is shiny and has a tag. The tag says "Gold".
+
+"Gold?" Jen says. "That is a nice name. Do you like to jog, Gold?"
+
+The dog barks again. He nods his head. He likes to jog. He runs around the park. He is fast and strong.
+
+"Come on, Tom!" Jen says. "Let's jog with Gold!"
+
+Tom and Jen jog with Gold. They have fun. They chase each other and laugh. They jog until they are tired. Then they sit on a bench and drink water.

+
+"Look, a rabbit!" Anna says. "It is so cute!"
+
+"Can we pet it?" Ben asks.
+
+They go near the rabbit. The rabbit sees them and runs away. Anna and Ben run after it. They want to catch the rabbit.
+
+But the rabbit is fast. It hops and hops. It goes under a fence. Anna and Ben cannot go under the fence. They stop and look at the rabbit.
+
+The rabbit looks at them. It has a piece of celery in its mouth. It makes a funny sound. It sounds like it is laughing.
+
+"Hey, stop laughing!" Ben says. "Give us the celery!"

+But the dog sees them. It growls. It wants the celery too.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They let go of the celery. They run away from the dog.
+
+They run back to the park. They are safe. They are sad. They did not get the celery. They did not pet the rabbit.
+
+But then they look at each other. They remember the funny sound. They remember the rabbit laughing.
+
+They start to laugh too. They laugh and laugh. They are not sad anymore. They are happy.

+
+Ben says, "OK, Anna, you can try it on. But be careful. It looks old and fragile. Maybe it belongs to someone important."
+
+Anna puts on the uniform. It is too big for her, but she does not care. She feels like a soldier or a sailor. She says to Ben, "How do I look, Ben? Do I look brave and strong?"
+
+Ben says, "You look very brave and strong, Anna. And very beautiful. But what is that thing on your shoulder? It looks like a metal star."
+
+Anna looks at her shoulder. She sees a metal star. It is attached to the uniform with a pin. It is also very beautiful. It has red and blue and white colors. Anna says, "I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is a medal. Maybe the person who wore this uniform did something good and got a medal."
+
+Ben says, "Maybe, Anna. But maybe you should not touch it. It might be sharp or dangerous."
+
+Anna does not listen to Ben. She is curious. She wants to see the medal better. She tries to pull it off the uniform. But the pin is stuck. She pulls harder and harder. She does not notice that the pin is hurting her. She only wants the medal.
+
+Suddenly, the pin breaks. The medal comes off the uniform. But the pin also comes off. It flies into Anna's eye. Anna screams. She drops the medal. She feels a lot of pain. She can't see. She cries and cries.
+
+Ben is scared. He does not know what to do. He runs to get help. He leaves Anna alone in the attic. He hopes she will be OK.
+
+The end.

+
+Max does not listen. He says, "No, this is my toy. It is bigger and better than mine. I want it. Go away!" He holds the dinosaur tight and bites Sara on the arm. Sara cries out and drops her teddy bear. She is hurt and angry.
+

+Max feels ashamed. He lets go of the dinosaur and the bite mark on Sara's arm. He says, "Sorry, Sara. I was wrong. I do not need the dinosaur. I have you." He hugs Sara and picks up her teddy bear. He gives it to her and says, "Here, this is your toy. I like it too. Can we share?"

+
+Mom and the librarian heard Lisa crying. They ran to her and hugged her. Mom said, "Lisa, I was so worried about you. Why did you run away from me?" Lisa said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to see the cat book. I wanted to be independent. But I got lost and I missed you." Mom said, "I understand, Lisa. But you have to be careful. The library is a wonderful place, but you have to stay with me or tell me where you are going. Being independent does not mean being alone. It means being responsible and safe."

+Sara slides down and lands on the grass. She laughs and claps her hands. She runs to Tom and says, "That was so fun, Tom. You should try it. Don't be scared. I will help you."
+
+Tom looks at Sara. He sees that she is happy and not hurt. He thinks maybe the slide is not so bad. He says, "Okay, Sara, I will try it. But you have to hold my hand."
+
+Sara nods and says, "Of course, Tom, I will hold your hand. We are friends. We can do it together."
+
+Sara and Tom climb up the ladder and sit on the slide. Sara holds Tom's hand and says, "Ready, Tom? One, two, three, go!"

+Sara and Tom slide down and land on the grass. They laugh and hug each other. They are proud of themselves. They say, "We did it, Sara. We did it, Tom. We are brave!"
+
+They play on the slide again and again. They have a lot of fun. After a while, they get thirsty and tired. They go to their moms and ask for some water. Their moms give them water and lotion. They say, "You are very brave, Sara and Tom. You tried something new and had fun. But you also need to take care of your skin. The sun is hot and can make your skin dry. Here, put some lotion on your arms and legs. It will make your skin soft and smooth."
+
+Sara and Tom say, "Thank you, mom. We love you." They put some lotion on their arms and legs. They feel the lotion is cool and nice. They smell the lotion and say, "Mmm, the lotion smells good. Like flowers and fruits."
+
+They share the lotion with each other and rub it gently. They say, "You are my friend, Sara. You are my friend, Tom. We like to play together. We are brave and kind."

+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But today it is raining. They cannot go outside. They are bored.
+
+"Mom, can we watch TV?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, TV is not good for you. You can listen to the radio," Mom says.
+
+She turns on the radio. It plays music and talks. Anna and Ben do not like the radio. It is boring.
+
+"Mom, can we change the radio?" Ben asks.
+
+"No, this is a good radio. It teaches you things. You can learn from the radio," Mom says.
+
+She goes to the kitchen. Anna and Ben look at the radio. They do not want to learn. They want to have fun.
+
+"I have an idea," Anna says. "Let's pretend the radio is a spaceship. We can go to the moon and see stars."
+
+"OK, that sounds fun," Ben says. "But how do we fly the radio?"
+
+Anna thinks. She sees a spoon on the table. She picks it up.
+
+"This is the radio's steering wheel. We can use it to go left and right," she says.
+
+She gives the spoon to Ben. He holds it and makes flying noises.

+
+Lily and Ben are very curious. They ask many questions. They want to touch and feed the animals. They want to help the farmer. The farmer is very kind. He lets them do some things. He gives them some corn, some carrots, some hay and some water.
+
+"Can we spread the hay for the cows?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, you can. But be careful. The hay is prickly. And don't go too close to the cows. They are big and strong. They might push you or step on you." The farmer says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They take some hay and spread it on the ground. The cows moo and eat the hay. Lily and Ben are happy. They feel like farmers.
+
+"Can we feed the chickens?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, you can. But be gentle. The chickens are small and soft. And don't chase them or scare them. They might peck you or flap their wings." The farmer says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They take some corn and throw it on the ground. The chickens cluck and eat the corn. Lily and Ben are happy. They feel like farmers.
+
+Lily and Ben have a lot of fun on the farm. They thank the farmer for the tour. They hug the animals goodbye. They promise to come back soon. The farmer smiles and waves. He is happy to have such nice visitors. He hopes they learned something new. He hopes they had a good day.
+Lily was a fairy who loved flowers. She liked to fly from one flower to another and make them happy. She knew how to help them bloom, which means to open up and show their pretty colors.
+
+One day, she saw a big flower that was still closed. It was yellow and green and had many petals. Lily wanted to help it bloom, but she did not know how. She asked her friend, Rose, who was a wise fairy. Rose knew many things about flowers and how to take care of them.
+
+Rose told Lily that the big flower was a sunflower. She said that sunflowers need a lot of sun and water to bloom. She also said that sunflowers like to face the sun and follow it as it moves across the sky. She told Lily to wait until the sun was high and bright, and then to sprinkle some water on the sunflower.
+
+Lily did what Rose told her. She waited until the sun was high and bright, and then she flew to the sunflower with a tiny cup of water. She sprinkled some water on the sunflower and said, "Hello, sunflower. I am Lily, and I want to see you bloom. You are very beautiful and I want to be your friend."
+
+The sunflower felt the water and the sun and heard Lily's voice. It felt happy and warm and wanted to bloom. It slowly opened its petals and showed its bright yellow face. It smiled at Lily and said, "Hello, Lily. I am a sunflower, and I want to be your friend too. Thank you for helping me bloom. You are very kind and sweet."
+
+Lily and the sunflower became friends. They talked and laughed and played together. Lily taught the sunflower how to sing and dance, and the sunflower taught Lily how to follow the sun and grow tall. They were very happy and made each other bloom.

+
+Mom smiled and said, "This dollhouse is very special. It was mine when I was a little girl. It is rare and old and fragile. You have to be very careful with it. I will help you carry it to your room, but you have to promise to take good care of it."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We promise, mom. Thank you for sharing your dollhouse with us. We love it very much." They hugged their mom and followed her to their room.

+Sara was sad. She had a big cut on her knee from falling down. It hurt a lot and it was red and wet. Mama put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug and a kiss. She said, "Don't worry, my sweetie. Your cut will heal soon. You just need to be careful and not scratch it."
+
+Sara nodded, but she still felt bad. She wanted to play with her friends, but they were outside and she had to stay inside. She looked out the window and saw them running and laughing. She felt lonely and bored.
+
+Then she saw Timmy, her best friend. He was pale and had a big cough. He looked very sick. He waved at her and said, "Hi, Sara. I can't play today. I have a cold. Mama gave me some medicine and a treat. She said it will make me feel better."
+
+Sara felt sorry for Timmy. She knew how it felt to be sick and to miss playing. She wanted to cheer him up. She said, "Hi, Timmy. I can't play today either. I have a cut on my knee. Mama gave me a band-aid and a hug. She said it will make me heal faster."

She decided to be more kind and friendly to everyone, even when she was well. She thought that was a good way to live.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom. One day, her mom asked her to deliver a cake to their neighbor, Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee was very old and grumpy. He never smiled or said hello to anyone. Lily was scared of him, but she wanted to be brave and kind.
+
+She put on her coat and hat and took the cake in a big box. She walked to Mr. Lee's house and knocked on the door. She heard a loud voice say, "Who is it? Go away!" Lily felt like crying, but she said, "It's Lily, from next door. I have a cake for you, from my mom."
+
+The door opened a little bit, and Lily saw Mr. Lee's face. He looked angry and sad. He took the cake from Lily and said, "What is this? I don't want any cake. Why are you bothering me?" Lily said, "My mom made it for you, because she knows you are lonely. She said it has a secret inside, something that will make you happy."
+
+Mr. Lee looked at the cake and said, "A secret? What kind of secret?" He opened the box and saw a beautiful chocolate cake with white frosting and sprinkles. He cut a slice and tasted it. He felt something crunchy and sweet in his mouth. He looked at the cake and saw a note that said, "Happy birthday, Mr. Lee! We are your friends, and we care about you. Love, Lily and mom."
+
+Mr. Lee felt a warm feeling in his heart. He realized that Lily and her mom were very nice and thoughtful. He smiled for the first time in a long time. He said, "Thank you, Lily. Thank you, mom. This is the best cake I ever had. And the best secret, too. You are very sweet and brave. Come in, and let's have some cake together."
+
+Lily was happy that she made Mr. Lee happy. She went inside and sat with him. They ate cake and talked. They became friends. Lily learned that sometimes, grumpy people are just lonely and need some love. And sometimes, a little cake can make a big difference.

+
+The stadium was very big and tall. There were many people and noises. Tom and Lily held their dad's hand and followed him to their seats. They could see the green field and the goals. They cheered for their team and clapped their hands.
+
+But soon, Tom got bored. He wanted to go down and play on the field. He did not like to sit and watch. He pulled his dad's hand and said, "Dad, I want to play soccer. Can I go to the field?"
+
+Dad shook his head and said, "No, Tom. You cannot go to the field. It is not safe. You have to stay with me and Lily. We are here to enjoy the game, not to play."

+
+Tom was sorry too. He said, "I am sorry, dad. I am sorry, Lily. I was bad. I did not listen to you. I wanted to play soccer. But I did not have fun. I had pain. I learned my lesson. I will not run away again. I will stay with you and watch the game."
+
+Dad and Lily smiled and said, "We are glad you are okay, Tom. We forgive you. We are proud of you. You learned your lesson. You will be a good soccer player someday. But first, you have to be a good listener and a good watcher. That is how you learn and grow."
+
+They took Tom to the nurse and bandaged his wounds. Then they went back to their seats and watched the game. They had fun and learned a lot. They thanked their dad for taking them to the stadium. They said, "Dad, you are the best. We love you."

+Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily and Ben liked to feed them bread and watch them swim.
+
+One swan was very rude. He did not share the bread with the other swans. He chased them away and bit them. He also tried to bite Lily and Ben when they came near. He made loud noises and flapped his wings.
+
+Mom said, "That swan is not nice. He does not know how to be a good friend. Let's go to the other side of the pond and feed the nice swans."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and followed Mom. They found some nice swans who shared the bread and did not bite. They were gentle and quiet. They let Lily and Ben touch their soft feathers.
+
+Lily and Ben enjoyed the nice swans. They smiled and said, "Thank you, swans. You are very kind. We like you." The nice swans nodded and said, "You are welcome, Lily and Ben. We like you too."
+Lily was a young girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a bear. She liked to make them talk and have fun. Sometimes she played with her mom and dad, and sometimes she played by herself.
+
+One night, Lily was very tired. She had played all day and she was ready to sleep. She put her toys in a box and said good night to them. She brushed her teeth and put on her pajamas. She hugged her mom and dad and went to her bed.
+
+But when she was in her bed, she saw a bright light outside her window. She heard a loud noise and smelled something bad. She was scared. She got out of her bed and ran to her mom and dad. They were in the living room and they looked worried.
+
+They told her there was a fire in the house next door. The fire was big and hot and dangerous. They said they had to leave their house and go to a safe place. They said they would take her and her toys with them. They said they would be okay.
+
+Lily was still scared, but she trusted her mom and dad. She grabbed her bear and followed them outside. She saw the fire and the smoke and the firemen. She saw her neighbors and their pets. She saw a big truck that had a red cross on it. Her mom and dad said that was an ambulance. They said it would help the people who were hurt by the fire.
+
+They walked to another truck that had a big sign that said "shelter". They said that was a place where they could sleep and be warm and safe. They said they would stay there until the fire was gone and their house was okay. They said they would meet their friends and help each other.
+
+Lily was still scared, but she felt a little better. She saw other kids and their toys in the shelter. She saw blankets and pillows and snacks. She saw a nice lady who gave her a sticker and a book. She said her name was Anna and she was a helper. She said she would read her a story and sing her a song.
+
+Lily liked Anna. She liked the story and the song. She felt sleepy. She cuddled with her bear and her mom and dad. She said a prayer for her neighbors and their house. She said thank you to Anna and the firemen and the ambulance. She closed her eyes and slept.
+One day, Tom and his mom went to the beach. Tom liked to play in the sand and look for shells. He saw a big blue thing in the water. It looked like a balloon with strings. He wanted to touch it.
+
+"Mom, what is that?" he asked.
+
+"That is a jellyfish, Tom. It is an animal that lives in the sea. But you cannot touch it. It can hurt you with its strings. They are called stingers," his mom said.
+
+Tom was curious. He wanted to see the jellyfish closer. He waited until his mom was not looking. He ran to the water and reached for the jellyfish. But before he could touch it, he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He screamed and ran back to his mom.
+
+"Tom, what happened?" his mom asked. She saw his hand was red and swollen. She knew he had touched the jellyfish. She was angry and worried. She took him to the lifeguard. The lifeguard put some cream on his hand and gave him a bandage.
+
+"Tom, you have to listen to your mom. Jellyfish are not toys. They can sting you and make you sick. You have to accept that some things are not for playing," the lifeguard said.
+
+Tom felt sorry. He had learned his lesson. He said sorry to his mom and the lifeguard. He hugged his mom and said he loved her. He promised he would not touch jellyfish again. He decided to play with his bucket and shovel instead. He was still playful, but he was also careful. He had a fun day at the beach with his mom.
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara wanted to feed the ducks some bread, but Tom had a different idea. He took a bag of salt from his pocket and said, "Let's make the pond salty. Then the fish will be thirsty and the ducks will be angry."
+
+Sara thought that was a mean thing to do, but she was afraid to say no to Tom. She followed him to the edge of the pond and watched him pour the salt into the water. The ducks and the fish did not like the salt. They started to quack and splash and swim away. Sara felt sorry for them and wished she had stopped Tom.
+
+But Tom was not done. He wanted to see what would happen if he jumped into the pond. He said, "Look, Sara, I can swim in the salt water. It's fun and deep." He ran and jumped into the pond, but he did not know how to swim. He sank and choked and cried for help. Sara was scared and ran to get help. She saw a man with a phone and told him what happened. The man called the police and the firemen and they came to the park.
+
+The police and the firemen pulled Tom out of the pond. He was wet and cold and coughing. He was also very embarrassed. Everyone in the park saw him and knew he was the one who made the pond salty. The police and the firemen were angry with him and told him he was in big trouble. They took him away in a car and said he had to go to a place where he would learn to be good.
+
+Sara was sad and ashamed. She lost her friend and she hurt the ducks and the fish. She wished she had said no to Tom and fed the ducks some bread. She learned that it was not nice to make things salty or to jump into deep water. She hoped that Tom would learn too.
+Anna liked to march. She marched in the park, in the school, and in her home. She marched with her friends, her toys, and her dog. She said, "Marching is fun. Marching is power. I am the best marcher in the world."
+
+One day, she met a boy named Ben. Ben also liked to march. He marched with his drum, his hat, and his flag. He said, "I am the best marcher in the world. No one can march like me. I am the most popular marcher in the world."
+
+Anna and Ben did not like each other. They wanted to show who was the better marcher. They marched in front of each other, making loud noises and funny faces. They marched faster and faster, trying to outdo each other. They marched until they were tired and sweaty.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was Anna's mom. She said, "What are you two doing? You are making a lot of noise and mess. You are not being nice to each other. You are not having fun. You are being silly."
+
+Anna and Ben stopped marching. They looked at each other. They felt ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were trying to be the best marchers in the world. We were not being good friends. We were being silly."
+
+Anna's mom said, "It's okay, kids. You can both march. You can both have fun. You can both be popular. But you have to march together, not against each other. You have to share, not fight. You have to be kind, not mean. That's the real power of marching."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They smiled. They said, "You are right, mom. We will march together. We will have fun. We will be popular. We will be kind. That's the real power of marching."
+
+They hugged each other. They hugged Anna's mom. They picked up their things. They marched together, making happy noises and friendly faces. They marched to the park, to the school, and to their homes. They marched with their friends, their toys, and their dogs. They said, "Marching is fun. Marching is power. We are the best marchers in the world."
+Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower. Tom had many red blocks and Lily had many blue blocks. They put their blocks together and made a tall tower.
+
+But then Tom saw a gray block on the floor. He liked the gray block. He wanted to put it on top of the tower. He took the gray block and climbed on a chair.
+
+"Stop, Tom!" Lily said. "The tower will fall down. The gray block is too heavy. We need to use small blocks on top."
+
+Tom disagreed. He thought the gray block was good. He wanted to make the tower higher. He did not listen to Lily. He put the gray block on the tower.
+
+Crash! The tower fell down. The blocks flew everywhere. Tom and Lily fell off the chair. They were not hurt, but they were sad. They looked at their broken tower.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "You were right. The gray block was bad. I should have listened to you."
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "You were nice to share your blocks with me. I should have let you try the gray block."
+
+They hugged each other. They were friends again. They decided to make a new tower. They used red, blue, and gray blocks. They made a strong and pretty tower. They were happy.
+Anna liked to look at the stars at night. She wondered what was out there, beyond the sky. She asked her mom, "What is the big thing with all the stars?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is the universe, Anna. The universe is very big and has many things in it. Some are stars, some are planets, some are moons, and some are things we don't know yet."
+
+Anna wanted to see more of the universe. She said, "Can we go there, mom? Can we fly to the stars?"
+
+Her mom said, "Maybe one day, Anna. But for now, we can only look at them from here. And we can learn about them from books and pictures and stories."
+
+Anna said, "OK, mom. But I wish I could go there. I wish I could shout hello to the stars and see if they answer me."
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "You can shout hello to the stars, Anna. Maybe they will hear you. Maybe they will send you a wish. But you have to be quiet after that, because it is time to sleep."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will shout hello to the stars and then I will sleep. Good night, mom. Good night, universe."
+
+She went to her window and opened it. She looked at the stars and shouted, "Hello, stars! Hello, universe! I am Anna and I want to be your friend!"
+
+She waited for a moment, but she did not hear anything. She felt a little sad, but then she saw a bright star twinkle at her. She smiled and thought, maybe that was a hello. Maybe that was a wish.
+
+She closed her window and went to her bed. She snuggled with her teddy bear and said, "Good night, stars. Good night, universe. Thank you for being so big and beautiful. I hope I can see you again."
+
+She closed her eyes and fell asleep, dreaming of the universe.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and she made pictures of her family, her friends and her toys. She put her pictures in a folder to keep them safe and tidy. She was very proud of her folder.
+
+One day, she went to play with her friend Max. Max had a lot of toys, but he did not like to share. He wanted to play with Lily's folder. He asked her if he could see it, but she said no. She wanted to keep it for herself.
+
+Max was angry. He waited until Lily was busy with a puzzle. Then he took her folder and hid it under his bed. He thought he was very clever. He had stolen Lily's folder.
+
+Lily finished the puzzle and looked for her folder. She could not find it anywhere. She asked Max if he had seen it, but he lied. He said he did not know where it was. Lily was sad. She thought she had lost her folder.
+
+She decided to go home. She said goodbye to Max and put on her coat. As she was leaving, she saw a corner of her folder sticking out from under Max's bed. She ran to it and pulled it out. She saw her pictures inside. She was very happy. She had found her folder.
+
+She looked at Max and said, "You are a bad friend. You stole my folder. You lied to me. I do not want to play with you anymore." She left with her folder and did not look back. Max was ashamed. He had lost Lily's friendship. He wished he had not stolen her folder.
+Lily liked to design things. She used crayons, paper, scissors and glue to make pictures, cards and toys. She liked to show her designs to her mom and dad, who always said they were very good.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to design something new. She saw a big pot on the stove in the kitchen. She asked her mom what was in it. Her mom said it was soup for lunch. Lily thought soup was boring. She wanted to make it more fun.
+
+She went to the fridge and took out some things. She found cheese, grapes, yogurt and jam. She thought they looked nice and colorful. She put them in the pot with the soup. She stirred them with a big spoon. She smiled. She had designed a new soup.
+
+She called her mom and dad to come and see. They came and looked at the pot. They saw the cheese, grapes, yogurt and jam floating in the soup. They smelled the strange mix. They did not smile. They said the soup was ruined.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not understand. She thought her soup was beautiful. She wanted to taste it. She took a spoonful and put it in her mouth. She spat it out. It was cold and yucky. She did not like it. She cried.
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her. They said they were sorry. They said they loved her designs, but not in the soup. They said they would make a new soup for lunch. They said they would let her design the dessert. Lily stopped crying. She nodded. She wanted to design the dessert. She hoped it would be better than the soup.
+Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play and eat together. But sometimes they fight over toys and food. One day, they have rice for lunch. Mom gives them each a bowl of rice and some sauce.
+
+Tom likes the sauce. He thinks it is yummy and red. He puts a lot of sauce on his rice. Jen does not like the sauce. She thinks it is spicy and hot. She only puts a little sauce on her rice. She likes her rice soft and white.
+
+Tom sees Jen's rice. He thinks it is boring and plain. He wants to make Jen try his rice. He says, "Jen, your rice is no good. My rice is better. I dare you to eat some of my rice. If you don't, you are a baby."
+
+Jen does not want to eat Tom's rice. She knows it will make her mouth hurt. She says, "No, Tom, I don't want your rice. Your rice is too hot. I like my rice. You are mean."
+
+Tom does not listen to Jen. He grabs a spoon and scoops some of his rice. He moves it closer to Jen's mouth. He says, "Come on, Jen, just try it. It is not that hot. It is fun. Don't be a baby."
+
+Jen is scared and angry. She pushes Tom's hand away. The spoon flies out of Tom's hand. The rice lands on Tom's face. The sauce gets in Tom's eyes and nose. Tom screams and cries. He feels the sauce burn his skin. He runs to Mom for help.
+
+Jen feels sorry for Tom. She did not mean to hurt him. She goes to Tom and says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I did not want your rice. But you should not dare me to do things I don't like. That is not nice."
+
+Mom comes and cleans Tom's face. She hugs Tom and Jen. She says, "It's okay, kids. I know you love each other. But you have to respect each other's choices. Some people like different things. And that is okay. Next time, don't dare or force each other to do things. Just share and enjoy your food."
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. He has a long tail and a wet nose.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Tom says. "Let's go and say hello."
+
+Lily is not sure. She thinks the dog is too big and loud. She says, "No, Tom. I don't want to go. The dog might bite us."
+
+Tom shakes his head. He says, "No, Lily. The dog is nice. He just wants to play. Come on, don't be scared."
+
+Tom walks towards the dog. The dog sees Tom and wags his tail. He runs to Tom and licks his face. Tom laughs and hugs the dog. He says, "See, Lily? The dog is friendly. He likes me."
+
+Lily watches from a distance. She sees Tom and the dog having fun. She feels a little jealous. She says, "Maybe I can try too."
+
+Lily walks slowly to the dog. The dog sees Lily and wags his tail again. He runs to Lily and licks her face too. Lily giggles and hugs the dog. She says, "You're right, Tom. The dog is nice. He likes me too."
+
+Tom and Lily play with the dog. They throw a ball and the dog fetches it. They rub his belly and he rolls over. They tickle his ears and he barks. They have a lot of fun.
+
+The dog's owner comes to the park. He sees Tom and Lily playing with his dog. He smiles and says, "Hello, kids. I see you like my dog. His name is Max. He is very friendly and funny."
+
+Tom and Lily say hello to the owner. They say, "We like Max. He is a good dog. Can we play with him again?"
+
+The owner nods and says, "Sure, you can. Max likes you too. He likes to make new friends. But you have to ask me first, okay?"
+
+Tom and Lily say okay. They thank the owner and say goodbye to Max. They give him one last hug and kiss. They say, "Bye, Max. We'll see you soon."
+
+Tom and Lily go back to their parents. They tell them about Max. They say, "We met a big dog. His name is Max. He is very friendly and funny. We played with him and had fun."
+
+Their parents are happy. They say, "That's nice, kids. We're glad you had fun. But you have to be careful with dogs. Not all dogs are friendly and funny. Some dogs might be mean and scary. You have to ask the owner before you touch them, okay?"
+
+Tom and Lily say okay. They say, "We know, mom and dad. We asked the owner. He said we can play with Max. He is a nice man. He has a nice dog. We like them both."
+
+Their parents smile and say, "That's good, kids. You are smart and polite. We are proud of you. We love you."
+
+Tom and Lily smile and say, "We love you too, mom and dad."
+
+They hug their parents and go home. They have a good day. They have a new friend. His name is Max. He is a big dog. He is very friendly and funny. They can't wait to see him again.
+Lily liked to crawl under the bed. She thought it was a fun place to play. She had many toys under the bed. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a book. She liked to make stories with her toys.
+
+One day, Lily heard a noise in the bathroom. She crawled out from under the bed and went to see. She saw her mom in the shower. She saw water and soap and bubbles. She thought it looked fun. She wanted to join her mom in the shower.
+
+She crawled into the bathroom and said, "Mom, can I play with you?" Her mom was surprised and said, "Lily, what are you doing here? You are supposed to be in your room. You can't play in the shower. It is not safe. You might slip and hurt yourself. And you are already clean. You had a bath last night."
+
+Lily felt sad and said, "But mom, I want to play with the water and the bubbles. They look so fun. And I don't like baths. They are boring and cold. Showers are better. Please, mom, let me play with you."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Lily, you are a silly girl. You have a weird idea of fun. Showers are not for playing. They are for washing. And baths are not boring and cold. They are warm and relaxing. And you can play with your rubber duck and your boat. How about this? You go back to your room and play with your toys. And when I am done with the shower, I will come and read you a story. OK?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "OK, mom. I will go back to my room and play with my toys. But can you read me a story about showers? I want to know more about them. They are so weird and fun."
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "OK, Lily. I will read you a story about showers. But only if you promise to stay out of the bathroom. Deal?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Deal, mom. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now go and play. I will be with you soon."
+
+Lily crawled out of the bathroom and went back to her room. She played with her toys and waited for her mom. She still liked to crawl under the bed. But she also liked to learn about showers. She thought they were weird and fun.

+
+One day, Lisa goes to the park with her mom. She sees a lot of flowers in the garden. She wants to pick some and make a bouquet. She asks her mom if she can do that. Her mom says no. She says the flowers belong to the park and they need to stay there. She says picking them would hurt them and make them die.
+
+Lisa feels sad. She really likes the flowers. She wonders why she can't have some. She thinks they would make her happy. She sees a lady walking by with a basket of flowers. She thinks the lady is lucky. She asks her mom if they can buy some flowers from the lady. Her mom says yes. She says they can allow themselves a treat today. She says they can choose some flowers they like and take them home.
+
+Lisa feels happy. She thanks her mom and runs to the lady. She looks at the basket and sees many attractive flowers. She picks some of her favorites. She likes the ones that are pink and yellow and purple. She also likes the ones that smell sweet and fresh. She gives them to her mom and they pay the lady. They say goodbye and thank you.
+

+Lily and Ben like to act. They pretend to be different things. Today, they act like they are on a raft. They use a big box and some sticks. They put the box on the floor and the sticks on the sides. They say the floor is water.
+
+They act like they are going to a new place. They see fish and birds and trees. They say hello to them. They have fun on the raft. They sing and laugh and talk.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Max. He is big and furry and friendly. He sees the raft and he wants to play. He runs to the box and jumps on it. The box breaks and the sticks fall. Lily and Ben fall too. They are not hurt, but they are sad. Their raft is gone.
+
+Max is sorry. He licks their faces and wags his tail. He does not know he broke the raft. He just wanted to join them. Lily and Ben hug him. They are not mad at him. They love him. They say it is okay. They can make a new raft. Or they can act like something else. They are still happy. They have each other and Max. They are a little family.
+Lily liked to speak to her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a car and a potato. The potato was her favorite. She gave it eyes, a nose and a mouth with a marker. She called it Pat.
+
+One day, Lily's big brother Tom came into her room. He saw the potato on her bed. He was hungry. He picked up the potato and said, "This is not a toy. This is food. I'm going to eat it."
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She ran to Tom and tried to grab the potato. She said, "No, Tom, no! That's Pat. He's my friend. You can't eat him. He can speak to me. He's not food. He's a toy."
+
+Tom laughed and said, "That's silly, Lily. Potatoes can't speak. They're just empty inside. Watch." He took a knife and cut the potato in half. He showed Lily the white part. He said, "See? Nothing inside. Just a potato."
+
+Lily cried and cried. She saw Pat's face on the potato. She saw his eyes, his nose and his mouth. She said, "Tom, you're mean. You hurt Pat. You broke him. He was not empty. He was full of love. He was my friend."
+
+Tom felt bad. He saw Lily's tears. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know you liked the potato so much. I was just hungry. Here, I'll give you another potato. You can make a new friend."
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Tom, no. I don't want another potato. I want Pat. He was special. He was my friend. You can't replace him. You can't fix him. You can only say sorry."
+
+Tom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry I ate your friend. I'm sorry I made you cry. I'm sorry I was mean. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom. She saw his face. She saw his eyes, his nose and his mouth. She said, "Yes, Tom, yes. I forgive you. You're my brother. You're my friend. But don't ever eat my toys again. OK?"
+
+Tom said, "OK, Lily, OK. I won't eat your toys again. I promise. Can I hug you?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, Tom, yes. You can hug me. I love you."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged. They felt better. They said sorry and thank you. They learned to be kind and share. They played with the doll, the bear, the car and the potato. They were happy.

+
+They put on their coats and boots and went outside with their things. They saw their neighbor, Mr. Lee, who was raking the leaves. He smiled and said hello.
+
+"Hi, Mr. Lee!" Ben and Lily said. "We are going to decorate the oak tree. Do you want to help us?"
+
+Mr. Lee looked at the oak tree and nodded. "That sounds like a fun idea. I have some pine cones and berries that you can use. They are natural and colorful. Wait here, I will get them for you."
+
+He went inside his house and came back with a basket. He gave it to Ben and Lily and helped them to reach the high branches. They thanked him and said he was very thoughtful.

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign has an arrow on it. The arrow points to a new place.
+
+"Let's go there!" Ben says. He runs after the arrow. Anna is shy. She does not like new places. She stays behind.
+
+"Anna, come on!" Ben calls. He looks at the new place. It is a big tent. There are many colors and shapes on it. It looks fun.
+
+Anna looks at the tent. She is scared. She does not know what is inside. She does not want to go.

+Lily liked to play golf with her dad. They had a big bag with many sticks and balls. They went to a big green place with holes and flags. Lily wanted to hit the ball far and fast.
+
+Dad showed Lily how to hold the stick and stand. He said, "Look at the flag. Turn your body a little. Swing the stick and hit the ball." Lily tried to do what dad said. She swung the stick hard, but she missed the ball. She tried again and again, but she could not hit the ball.
+
+Lily felt sad and mad. She threw the stick on the ground and said, "I don't like golf. It is too hard. I want to go home." Dad picked up the stick and hugged Lily. He said, "It's okay, Lily. Golf is hard, but it is also fun. You don't have to be good at it. You just have to try and have fun. Do you want to try again?"
+
+Lily looked at dad and nodded. She said, "Okay, dad. I will try again. But can you help me?" Dad said, "Of course, Lily. I will help you. Come on, let's go to the next hole." He took Lily's hand and they walked to the next hole. Lily saw a big pond with ducks and fish. She smiled and said, "Look, dad. Ducks and fish. They are fine." Dad smiled and said, "Yes, Lily.

+One day, Lily sees a big fish in the pool. It is not a real fish. It is a toy fish. But Lily does not know that. She thinks it is a real fish. She wants to play with it. She swims closer to the fish.
+
+But the fish is naughty. It has a button on its back. When Lily touches the button, the fish makes a loud noise. It goes "BZZZT!" and splashes water in Lily's face. Lily is scared. She cries and runs out of the pool.
+
+Mama hears Lily cry. She comes to the pool. She sees the fish. She knows it is a toy fish. She picks it up and shows it to Lily. She says, "It's OK, Lily. It's not a real fish. It's a toy fish.

+
+Lily stops crying. She looks at the fish. She sees the button. She understands. She says, "It's OK, Mama. I'm not scared anymore. But I don't like the naughty fish. It's not nice. Can we play with a nice fish?"
+
+Mama smiles. She says, "Yes, Lily. We can play with a nice fish. I have a nice fish for you. It's a soft fish. It's a cuddly fish. It's a fish you can hug. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Lily nods. She says, "Yes, Mama. I want to see it. I want to hug it. I want to swim with it."
+
+Mama gives Lily the soft fish. It is pink and fluffy. It has a smiley face. Lily loves it. She hugs it and kisses it. She says, "Thank you, Mama. This is a nice fish. This is a good fish. This is my fish."
+
+Mama and Lily go back to the pool. They swim with the soft fish. They have fun. They are happy. The naughty fish is forgotten. The end.
+Anna and Ben are eager to go to the park. They put on their shoes and coats and run to the door. But they have to wait for Mom to get ready.
+
+"Mom, hurry up!" Anna says. "We want to play on the swings and the slide!"
+
+"I'm coming, I'm coming," Mom says. "Just let me get my bag and keys."
+
+Anna and Ben wait by the door. They see a big step outside. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's play on the step!" Ben says. "We can jump and hop and pretend it's a mountain!"
+
+"Okay!" Anna says. "That sounds fun!"
+
+They run to the step and start to play. They jump and hop and pretend they are climbing a mountain. They make noises like animals and birds.
+
+"Look, I'm a lion!" Ben roars. "I'm the king of the mountain!"
+
+"I'm a bird!" Anna chirps. "I can fly over the mountain!"
+
+They have so much fun that they forget about the park. Mom comes out and sees them playing.
+
+"Are you ready to go to the park?" Mom asks.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They smile.
+

+
+Anna and Ben hug Mom and thank her. They go back to playing on the step. They are happy and eager to have more adventures.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+They held hands and started to walk up the hill. But as they got higher, they saw a lot of fog. The fog was white and thick and cold. They could not see very well. They could not see the trees or the sky or the park. They could only see each other.
+
+They felt scared and lost. They did not know how to go back. They did not know what was in the fog. They heard some noises that sounded like animals or monsters. They wanted to cry and call for help.
+
+But then they remembered that they had each other. They hugged and said, "We are brave. We are strong. We can find our way." They decided to keep walking and look for a way out of the fog. They hoped to see something familiar or friendly.
+
+They walked for a long time. It was difficult to walk in the fog. They tripped and slipped and bumped into things. They got tired and hungry and cold. But they did not give up. They kept talking and singing and holding hands.
+
+At last, they saw a light. It was a bright and warm light. It was the sun. The sun was shining through the fog. The fog was going away. They could see the trees and the sky and the park again. They could see the hill and the slide and the swing. They could see their mom and dad. They were waiting for them. They were happy and proud.
+
+Ben and Lily ran to their mom and dad. They hugged and kissed them. They told them about their adventure in the fog. They said they were sorry and scared and brave and strong. They said they loved them.
+
+Their mom and dad said, "We love you too. We are glad you are safe. You are amazing. You are our heroes." They took them to the slide and the swing. They played and laughed and had fun. They forgot about the fog. They were happy.
+Sam loved to ride his bike. He always wore his helmet to keep his head safe. His helmet was red and shiny, with a picture of a rocket on it. Sam felt like he was flying when he pedaled fast.
+
+One day, Sam saw a big hill near his house. He wanted to go down the hill on his bike. He thought it would be incredible. He told his mom he was going to try it. His mom said, "Be careful, Sam. The hill is very steep. And don't forget your helmet."
+
+Sam put on his helmet and rode his bike to the hill. He looked down and felt excited. He pushed his bike to the top of the hill and got ready to go. He said to himself, "Here I go!"
+
+But as soon as he started to go down, he saw something that made him stop. There was a big truck coming up the hill. It was very loud and fast. Sam was scared. He tried to brake, but his bike was going too fast. He couldn't stop.
+
+He closed his eyes and hoped for the best. He heard the truck honk and swerve. He felt a bump and a crash. He opened his eyes and saw his bike on the ground, broken and twisted. He saw his helmet on his head, cracked and scratched. He saw the truck driver get out and run to him. He said, "Are you okay, kid? That was a close one. You're lucky you had your helmet on."
+
+Sam felt his head and realized he was okay. He was shaken, but not hurt. He said, "Thank you, mister. I'm sorry I was in your way. I was trying to do something incredible."
+
+The truck driver smiled and said, "You did do something incredible, kid. You survived. But next time, be more careful. And always wear your helmet." He helped Sam get up and gave him a hug. He said, "Come on, let's go find your mom. She must be worried sick." He took Sam and his bike to his truck and drove him home. Sam learned a lesson that day. He still loved to ride his bike, but he never went down the big hill again. He always wore his helmet and looked both ways. He knew his helmet saved his life. He was glad he had it. It was his incredible helmet.

Lily makes a moat and a bridge for the castle. She says, "Look, Anna! This is your home!" and hugs her. Lily and Anna like the sandbox.
+
+Lily and Anna have a lot of fun at the park. They know each other's names and they know how to play. They are happy and they are friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they have a race. They want to see who is faster.
+
+They stand at the start line. They hold a package in their hands. The package is a gift for their teacher. She is very nice and popular. Everyone likes her.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Lily says. They run as fast as they can. They laugh and shout. They want to win the race.
+
+But then, Ben trips and falls. He drops the package. It opens and the gift falls out. It is a mug with a picture of their teacher and a heart.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben says. He is sad and hurt. He has a scrape on his knee.
+
+Lily stops running. She sees Ben on the ground. She runs back to him. She helps him up. She picks up the package and the gift.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asks. She is worried and kind.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily. Thank you. You are a good friend." Ben says. He smiles and hugs her.
+
+They walk together to their teacher. They give her the package and the gift. She is very happy and surprised. She thanks them and kisses them.
+
+"You are both very sweet and thoughtful." She says. "And you are both winners in my eyes."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They are proud and grateful. They have a race and a gift. But they also have something more. They have each other.
+Anna was very happy. Today was her birthday. She had a party with her friends. They played games, ate cake, and opened gifts.
+
+Anna's favorite game was spin the bottle. She had a little bottle with a cap. She put it on the floor and gave it a push. The bottle spun and spun. Anna and her friends watched it. They waited to see who it would point to.
+
+The bottle stopped. It pointed to Ben. Ben was Anna's best friend. He had a big smile. He got up and walked to Anna. He gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Anna blushed. She felt warm and fuzzy.
+
+Anna and Ben went back to the circle. They held hands. They spun the bottle again. They hoped it would point to them. They liked each other very much. They had a lot of fun at the party. It was the best birthday ever.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play on the big yacht. The yacht was pink and shiny and had many rooms and toys. Lily and Ben liked to pretend they were pirates or explorers or mermaids on the yacht.
+
+One day, their mom and dad said they had to go to the store and buy some food. They told Lily and Ben to stay on the yacht and be good. They said they would be back soon. Lily and Ben said okay and waved goodbye.
+
+Lily and Ben decided to play hide and seek on the yacht. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She looked in the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom, but she could not find him. She looked in the closet, the drawer, the cupboard, but he was not there. She looked in the deck, the cabin, the helm, but he was nowhere.
+
+She started to feel scared and sad. Where was Ben? Did he leave the yacht? Did he fall in the water? Did he get lost? She called his name, but he did not answer. She cried and cried.
+
+Then, she heard a giggle. She turned around and saw Ben hiding behind a curtain. He jumped out and said, "Boo!" He smiled and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. I did not mean to scare you. I love you."
+
+Lily was angry and happy at the same time. She said, "Ben, you are a bad boy. You made me worry. You should not hide so well. You should stay where I can see you. I love you too."
+
+They hugged and kissed and said sorry. Then they heard their mom and dad coming back. They ran to the door and greeted them. They told them about their game and how they stayed on the yacht. Their mom and dad said they were proud of them and gave them a treat. They all went inside and had a picnic on the yacht. Lily and Ben were happy and forgot their fight. They played and laughed and had fun on the pink yacht.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big sign that said "EXIT". They did not know what it meant. They were curious.
+
+They ran to the sign and saw a gate. The gate was open. They saw a road with many cars. They wanted to see more. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stay in the park. They went through the gate.
+
+They were confused. The cars were loud and fast. They did not know where to go. They tried to cross the road, but they did not look. A car came and hit them. They were hurt. They cried.
+
+Their mom came and saw them. She was scared and sad. She called for help. She hugged them and said, "Why did you leave the park? You should always listen to me. The road is dangerous. The exit is not for you."
+
+Sara and Tom learned a lesson. They should not go where they do not belong. They should obey their mom. They should be careful. They were sorry. They said, "We love you, mom. We are sorry. We will not do it again."
+Jill and Ben were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they had fights and ignored each other. One day, they had a big fight over a toy car. Jill wanted to play with it, but Ben said it was his and he would not share. They yelled and pushed and pulled until their mom came and took the toy away. She said they had to say sorry and be nice, or they would not get the toy back.
+
+Jill and Ben were very angry and did not say sorry. They went to their rooms and ignored each other. They did not talk or play or even look at each other. They were too proud to admit they were wrong.
+
+That night, Jill and Ben had bad dreams. Jill dreamed that Ben was gone and she was alone. She looked for him everywhere, but she could not find him. She felt sad and scared and wished she had said sorry. Ben dreamed that Jill was mad at him and did not want to be his sister. She said mean things to him and made him cry. He felt hurt and lonely and wished he had said sorry.
+
+They woke up in the middle of the night and ran to each other's rooms. They hugged and said they were sorry. They told each other about their nightmares and how they missed each other. They said they loved each other and promised to be nice and share. They went back to their beds and slept peacefully.
+
+The next morning, they woke up happy and played with the toy car together. Their mom saw them and smiled. She said she was proud of them for being honest and forgiving. She gave them the toy car and said they could keep it if they always played nicely. Jill and Ben agreed and thanked their mom. They learned that ignoring each other was not fun and that saying sorry was not hard. They decided to be the best twins ever.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. Sara and Ben are sad.
+
+They have a plan. They get their umbrellas and boots. They go to the park. They splash in the puddles. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then they see a big dog. The dog is rough. It barks and runs at them. Sara and Ben are scared. They hold their umbrellas in front of them. They hope the dog will go away.
+
+The dog stops. It sniffs their umbrellas. It wags its tail. It is not rough. It is friendly. Sara and Ben are happy. They pet the dog. They make a new friend. They play with the dog in the rain. They forget to be sad.
+Ben and Lily liked to play music. Ben had a drum and Lily had a flute. They liked to make loud and happy sounds with their instruments.
+
+One day, they went to visit their grandma. Grandma had a big piano in her living room. It had many black and white keys that made different sounds when you pressed them.
+
+"Can we play the piano, grandma?" Ben asked.
+
+"Of course, my dears. But you have to be gentle and careful with it. It is very old and precious," grandma said.
+
+She showed them how to sit on the bench and how to use their fingers to play the keys. She taught them a simple song that they could sing along.
+
+Ben and Lily took turns to play the piano. They passed the flute and the drum to each other when they switched. They had fun learning the song and making music with grandma.
+
+Grandma was very proud of them. She clapped her hands and smiled.
+
+"You are very good, Ben and Lily. You have a talent for music. Maybe one day you will be famous musicians," she said.
+
+Ben and Lily hugged grandma and thanked her for letting them play the piano. They felt happy and proud too. They loved music and they loved grandma.
+Anna liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and birds. She was happy.
+
+One day, she saw a deer in the garden. The deer was brown and had big ears. Anna wanted to paint the deer. She took her paints and ran outside.
+
+But the deer was scared of Anna. It ran away when it saw her. Anna followed the deer. She wanted to be its friend. She did not see the fence.
+
+The deer jumped over the fence. Anna tried to jump too. But she was too small. She hit the fence and fell down. Her paints spilled on the ground. She was hurt and sad.
+
+Mama heard Anna cry. She came outside and saw what happened. She hugged Anna and said, "Oh, my poor baby. You were foolish to chase the deer. It is wild and shy. You cannot paint it. You can only paint what you see."
+
+Anna said, "I'm sorry, Mama. I just wanted to paint the deer. It was so pretty."
+
+Mama said, "I know, Anna. But you have to be careful. You can paint the deer from your memory. Or you can paint something else. Look, there are many flowers and trees and birds here. They are also pretty. And they will not run away from you."
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "You are right, Mama. I will paint something else. Can you help me?"
+
+Mama said, "Of course, Anna. I will help you. Come on, let's go inside and get some new paints. And a band-aid for your boo-boo."
+
+Anna and Mama went inside. They painted together. Anna was happy again.
+Tom and Mia like to play by the river. They have a big raft that they made with wood and rope. They want to test their raft and see how fast it can go.
+
+They push the raft into the water and jump on. They use sticks to paddle and steer. The raft moves along the river, past trees and rocks and ducks. Tom and Mia are happy and excited.
+
+But then they see a big bridge up ahead. The bridge has a hole in the middle, where the water goes through. Tom thinks it will be fun to go through the hole. Mia thinks it will be scary and dangerous.
+
+"Let's go through the hole!" Tom says.
+
+"No, let's go around it!" Mia says.
+
+They start to argue and pull their sticks in different directions. The raft does not listen to them. It goes where the water takes it. It goes closer and closer to the hole.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They stop arguing and hold on to each other. They close their eyes and hope for the best.
+
+The raft goes through the hole. It is dark and loud and wet. The raft bumps and shakes and spins. Tom and Mia scream and cry.
+
+But then the raft comes out of the hole. It is bright and calm and dry. The raft is still in one piece. Tom and Mia are still on it. They are safe and sound.
+
+They open their eyes and look at each other. They hug and laugh and say sorry. They agree to be more careful and listen to each other. They decide to test their raft another day. They paddle back to the shore and go home. They are happy and tired and proud. They have a good story to tell.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to count the stones they found on the ground. Sometimes they found big stones, sometimes they found small stones, sometimes they found shiny stones. They had a lot of fun counting their stones.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He looked sad and lonely. He had no stones to count. Lila and Tom wanted to make him happy. They decided to share their stones with him. They went to him and said hello. They asked him his name. He said his name was Sam.
+
+Lila and Tom showed Sam their stones. They told him they liked to count them. They asked him if he wanted to join them. Sam smiled and nodded. He said he liked to count too.

+
+Sam was happy and grateful. He thanked Lila and Tom for their stones. He said they were his new friends. Lila and Tom said they were happy too. They said they liked to have a new friend.

They were happy and proud of their stones and their friendship.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with a hole in it. They want to look inside.
+
+"Maybe there is a treasure in there," Ben says.
+
+"Or a monster," Anna says.
+
+They go near the tree and peek inside. They see something shiny. It is a ring. It has a green stone and a silver band.
+
+"Wow, it is so pretty," Anna says. She reaches for the ring.
+
+"Wait, Anna, don't touch it," Ben says. "It might be a trap."
+
+But Anna does not listen. She grabs the ring and puts it on her finger. She feels a tickle.
+
+"Look, Ben, it fits me," she says.
+
+But then, something strange happens. The ring starts to glow. The green stone flashes. A voice comes from the ring. It is a deep and mysterious voice.
+
+"Who are you, human?" the voice says. "Why do you wear my ring?"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not know who is talking. They do not know what the ring can do.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, we did not know," Anna says. "We were just playing. Please, do not hurt us."
+
+The voice laughs. It is a cold and cruel laugh.
+
+"Too late, human. You have awakened me. I am the master of this ring. And now, you are mine."
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with ropes. They made swings, bridges, and traps with ropes. They knew how to tie many kinds of knots. One day, they found a big rope in the park. They decided to make a swing on a tall tree.
+
+Tom climbed the tree and tied one end of the rope to a branch. He threw the other end to Sam. Sam caught it and tied a loop for the swing. He was very proud of his knot. He did not check if it was strong enough. He wanted to try the swing first.
+
+He sat on the loop and pushed himself off the ground. He swung high and fast. He felt happy and free. He shouted to Tom, "Look at me! I am the best at knots!"
+
+But then, something bad happened. The loop broke and Sam fell to the ground. He landed on his arm and it hurt a lot. He cried and screamed. Tom ran down the tree and went to help him. He saw that Sam's arm was twisted and swollen. He knew it was serious. He said, "We need to get help. Come on, I will carry you."
+
+He lifted Sam and ran to the nearest house. He knocked on the door and asked for help. A lady opened the door and saw the boys. She was kind and worried. She said, "What happened? Come in, I will call an ambulance."
+
+She took them inside and gave them some water. She called an ambulance and told them what happened. She also called their parents and told them where they were. She stayed with them until the ambulance and their parents came.
+
+Sam was taken to the hospital. He had a broken arm and needed a cast. He was in pain and scared. Tom stayed with him and said he was sorry. He said, "It was my fault. I should have checked your knot. I was not a good friend."
+
+Sam said, "No, it was my fault. I was too proud and careless. I did not listen to you. I was not a good friend either."
+
+They hugged and said they were sorry. They said they were still friends and they would be more careful next time. They thanked the lady for helping them. They thanked their parents for loving them.

+Tom and Sue like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs and birds. They also see a big tree with purple fruits. They are prunes. Tom and Sue want to eat some prunes. They think they are attractive and sweet.
+
+They move a ladder to the tree. They climb up the ladder. They pick some prunes. They eat them. They are happy. They want more prunes. They move the ladder again. They climb higher. They reach for more prunes.
+
+But the ladder is not strong. It breaks. Tom and Sue fall down. They hit the ground. They are hurt. They cry. They have bruises and cuts. They are sad. They wish they did not eat the prunes. They wish they listened to their mom. She told them not to touch the tree. She said it was dangerous. She was right. Tom and Sue learned a lesson. They will not move the ladder again. They will not eat the prunes again. They will play with safer things.
+Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers in the grass. Lily liked the red ones. She said they were poppies. Ben liked the yellow ones. He said they were suns.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the flowers. They wanted to pick some for their mom. Lily was generous. She gave Ben some of her poppies. Ben was generous too. He gave Lily some of his suns. They made a big bunch of flowers.
+
+They ran back to their mom. They pointed to the flowers. They said, "Look, mom, we have poppies and suns for you!" Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Thank you, Lily and Ben, you are very generous and sweet. I love the poppies and the suns. And I love you more."

+
+They open the box and find a shiny red fire truck. It has wheels, a ladder, a hose and a siren. They take it out and start to play. Sam pretends to be the driver and Mia pretends to be the firefighter. They make noises like the siren and the hose.
+
+They have fun for a long time. Then they hear a loud knock on the door. It is their dad. He is a real firefighter. He wears a yellow suit and a helmet. He has a big smile on his face. He says he has a surprise for them.
+
+He takes them outside and shows them his fire truck. It is bigger and louder than their toy. He lets them sit in the front seat and turn on the siren. He lets them climb the ladder and spray the hose. He tells them stories about his job and how he helps people.
+
+Sam and Mia are very happy. They hug their dad and thank him for the surprise. They say they want to be firefighters when they grow up. They love their dad and their fire truck.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to demand things. She always wanted to have her own way and did not like to share. One day, she saw a mysterious cup on the table. It was shiny and had a picture of a unicorn on it. She wanted to drink from it and play with it.
+
+"Mommy, I want that cup!" she shouted. "Give it to me now!"
+
+Mommy was busy cooking in the kitchen. She heard Sara and sighed. She knew that the cup belonged to Sara's cousin, Lily, who was coming to visit. She tried to explain to Sara that the cup was not hers and that she had to wait for Lily.
+
+"Sara, that cup is not yours. It is Lily's cup. She will be here soon and you can ask her nicely if you can use it. But you have to share and be polite, okay?"
+
+Sara did not listen. She did not care about Lily or sharing. She just wanted the cup. She ran to the table and grabbed the cup. She tried to drink from it, but it was empty. She was angry and threw the cup on the floor. It broke into pieces.
+
+Sara started to cry. She had broken the cup and made a mess. She was afraid that Mommy and Lily would be mad at her. She wished she had listened to Mommy and waited for Lily.
+
+Mommy heard the crash and came to see what happened. She saw the broken cup and the crying Sara. She was sad and disappointed. She hugged Sara and said:
+
+"Sara, why did you do that? You know that was not your cup. You were very rude and selfish. You hurt Lily's feelings and wasted a nice gift. How would you feel if someone did that to your things?"
+
+Sara felt sorry. She realized that she had been wrong. She said:
+
+"Mommy, I'm sorry. I was bad. I wanted the cup and I did not think about Lily. I feel bad. I want to say sorry to Lily and give her a hug. Can you help me fix the cup?"
+
+Mommy smiled and said:
+
+"Sara, I'm glad you are sorry. But I'm afraid we can't fix the cup. It is broken beyond repair. You have to learn from your mistake and be more careful and respectful next time. Maybe you can make Lily a card or draw her a picture to show her you are sorry. And you have to promise me that you will not demand things anymore. You have to ask nicely and share with others. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nodded and said:
+
+"Yes, Mommy. I understand. I promise. I love you and Lily. Can we go and see her now?"
+
+Mommy said:
+
+"Yes, we can. Come on, let's go. And remember, be nice and share."
+
+Sara and Mommy went to see Lily. Sara apologized to Lily and gave her a card and a picture. Lily forgave Sara and hugged her. They played together and shared their toys. Sara learned her lesson and did not demand things anymore. She was happier and had more friends.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were eager to go to the park. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the door. Mom said, "Wait, you need to carry your water bottles. It is hot outside."
+
+Ben and Lily each took a water bottle from the table. They were big and heavy. Ben said, "Mom, can you help us carry them?" Mom smiled and said, "No, you can do it. You are strong and brave."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and held their water bottles with both hands. They walked slowly to the car. They heard a voice from the window. It was their cat, Max. He said, "Meow, meow, can I go too?" Ben and Lily laughed and said, "No, Max, you have to stay home. You don't like the park. You like to nap and play with your toys."
+
+Max looked sad and said, "Meow, meow, okay, bye bye." Ben and Lily waved to him and got in the car. Mom drove them to the park. They were eager to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun and drank their water when they were thirsty. They were happy and proud that they could carry their water bottles by themselves.
+Sam and Jen were playing in the park with their dog, Rex. They had a cooler with juice and snacks. They liked to run and jump and swing and slide. Rex liked to chase squirrels and birds.
+
+One time, Rex saw a big black bird on a tree. He barked and ran after it. The bird flew away, but Rex did not stop. He ran and ran and ran, until he was far from the park. Sam and Jen did not see him go. They were busy playing.
+
+After a while, they got thirsty and hungry. They went to the cooler to get some juice and snacks. But when they opened the cooler, they saw something bad. A snake was inside the cooler. It was dead. It had no eyes and no tongue. It was cold and slimy. Sam and Jen screamed and dropped the cooler. They were scared and sad.
+
+They looked for Rex. They called his name. They hoped he would come and help them. But Rex did not come. He was lost. He forgot the way back to the park. He forgot Sam and Jen. He forgot the cooler. He forgot everything. He was alone and tired and hungry.
+
+Sam and Jen cried and hugged each other. They wished Rex was with them. They wished the snake was not in the cooler. They wished they could go home. They wished they could forget this bad day.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a big red bike that they took turns to ride. Tom liked to speed on the bike and go very fast. Lily liked to go slow and look at the flowers and the birds.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck with a lot of food on it. The truck was going to the market. Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to see what was inside. They saw apples, bananas, carrots, and cauliflower. Tom did not like cauliflower. He thought it was white and thin and yucky. Lily liked cauliflower. She thought it was white and thin and yummy.
+
+Tom had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's take some cauliflower and play a trick on Mom and Dad. We can put it in their soup and they will think it is something else." Lily thought it was funny and agreed. They took some cauliflower and hid it in their backpacks. Then they got on the bike and speed away.
+
+But they did not see the big hole in the road. The bike hit the hole and Tom and Lily fell off. The cauliflower flew out of their backpacks and landed on the road. The truck driver saw them and stopped. He was angry and said, "Hey, you kids, what are you doing? You stole my cauliflower! Give it back or I will call the police!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mister. We just wanted to play a trick on our parents. We don't like cauliflower. Please don't call the police." The truck driver saw that they were hurt and felt sorry for them. He said, "OK, I won't call the police, but you have to promise me two things. One, you will never steal from anyone again. And two, you will try to eat some cauliflower and see if you like it. It is good for you and it tastes better than you think."
+
+Tom and Lily promised and thanked the truck driver. He gave them some band-aids and some water and helped them get back on the bike. He also gave them some apples and bananas and carrots and cauliflower. He said, "Here, take these and share them with your parents. And remember, be careful when you speed on the bike. And don't judge a food by its color or shape. You might be surprised by how it tastes."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said goodbye. They rode back to their home and told their parents what happened. Their parents were glad that they were OK and not in trouble. They also made them some soup and put some cauliflower in it. Tom and Lily tried the soup and the cauliflower. They were surprised by how it tasted. It was not yucky. It was yummy. They liked it. They learned a lesson that day. They learned not to steal, not to speed, and not to be picky. They also learned to be grateful and to try new things. They were happy and hugged their parents and their friend, the big red bike.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir the soup, cut the bread, and set the table. She was proud of her work and wanted to show it to her dad when he came home. She had a surprise for him too. She had a new friend to introduce.
+
+She heard the door open and ran to hug her dad. "Daddy, daddy, I have something to show you!" she said. "Come to the kitchen, please!"
+
+Her dad smiled and followed her. He saw the table with the soup, the bread, and the salad. He smelled the yummy food and said, "Wow, Lily, you did a great job! This looks like a delicious dinner!"
+
+"Thank you, daddy, but that's not all!" Lily said. She ran to the corner and came back with a small box. She opened it and took out a fluffy white kitten. "This is Snowy, my new friend! I found him in the park and mom said I can keep him. He is very cute and soft and he likes to play. Can I introduce him to you?"
+
+Her dad's eyes widened and he looked at her mom. Her mom nodded and smiled. Her dad bent down and petted the kitten. The kitten purred and licked his hand. "Hello, Snowy, I'm glad to meet you. You are very cute and soft and I'm sure you like to play. Welcome to our family!" he said.
+
+Lily beamed and hugged them both. She was proud of her dinner, her friend, and her family. She said, "I love you, daddy, and I love you, mommy, and I love you, Snowy. Let's eat!"
+Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They had a big bucket of water and some toys. They liked to splash and make bubbles. But soon the bucket was almost empty.
+
+"Let's get more water from the faucet," Lily said. She ran to the house and turned the knob. Water came out of the faucet. She filled a cup and brought it back to the bucket.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Max said. He poured the cup into the bucket. The water made a funny sound. He smiled.
+
+They did this many times. They took turns to get water from the faucet and pour it into the bucket. They shared the cup and the faucet. They were happy.
+
+But then they saw something. The water in the bucket was dirty. It had grass and dirt and bugs in it. It looked yucky.
+
+"Yuck! The water is dirty!" Lily said. She made a face.
+
+"Yuck! The water is dirty!" Max said. He made a face too.
+
+They did not want to play with the dirty water. They wanted to play with clean water.
