The onion had made it in time, even with all the delays. It was a great day. +Lily was a little girl who loved pandas. She had a big panda toy that she hugged every night before she went to sleep. She liked to pretend that the panda was her friend and that they had adventures together. + +One night, she had a dream that she was in a forest with her panda. They saw many animals and plants, and they played and explored. Lily was very happy. She asked her panda, "What is your name?" + +The panda smiled and said, "My name is Po. I am a wise panda. I know many things about the forest and the world. Do you want to learn from me?" + +Lily nodded eagerly. She wanted to know more. She said, "Yes, please. Tell me something that you know." + +Po thought for a moment. He said, "I know that sleep is important. Sleep helps us grow and heal and dream. Sleep makes us strong and happy. When we sleep, we can rest and be ready for a new day." + +Lily liked that. She said, "That is a good thing to know. Thank you, Po. You are a very wise panda. I am glad you are my friend." + +Po hugged her back. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a very kind and curious girl. I am glad you are my friend too. Now, let us sleep and have more dreams." + +They closed their eyes and snuggled together. They felt warm and safe and peaceful. They slept and had more dreams. +Lila had a flute that she loved to play. She liked to make music with her flute and sing along. She played her flute every day and took it with her everywhere. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and her flute. She saw some other kids playing with a ball. She wanted to join them, but she did not want to leave her flute alone. She looked for a place to hide her flute. She saw a big hole in a tree. She thought it was a good place to put her flute. + +She pushed her flute into the hole. It was a tight fit, but she managed to squeeze it in. She ran to the other kids and asked if she could play with them. They said yes and gave her the ball. She had fun playing with the ball and the other kids. + +After a while, she remembered her flute. She said goodbye to the other kids and went back to the tree. She reached into the hole to get her flute. But she could not pull it out. It was stuck. She tried harder and harder, but it did not move. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lila trying to get her flute out of the hole. She asked her why she put her flute there. Lila said she wanted to play with the ball and the other kids, and she did not want to lose her flute. + +Her mom said, "I understand, but that was not a good place to put your flute. It is dirty and dark in there, and you might hurt your flute. You should always keep your flute in a safe and clean place, like your bag or your pocket. Then you can play with it whenever you want, and it will not get stuck or broken." + +Lila said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not think about that. I just wanted to play. Can you help me get my flute out?" + +Her mom said, "I will try, but I don't know if I can. It is very tight in there. Maybe we need to ask someone for help." + +They looked around and saw a man with a big truck. He had a tool that looked like a big claw. He was using it to pick up some branches and leaves. Her mom asked him if he could help them. He said yes and came over. He used his tool to gently pull out the flute from the hole. He gave it to Lila. She was very happy and thanked him. + +She looked at her flute. It was dirty and scratched. She felt sad. She said, "I'm sorry, flute. I did not take good care of you. I will not do that again. I will clean you and play with you nicely." + +Her mom said, "That's good, Lila. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Flutes are not toys. They are instruments. You have to respect them and treat them well. Then they will make beautiful music for you and others." + +Lila nodded and hugged her mom. She said, "I love you, mom. And I love my flute. Can we go home and play some music together?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lila. Let's go home and play some music together. And maybe next time, you can bring your flute to the park and play some music for the other kids. I'm sure they would like that." + +Lila smiled and said, "That sounds like fun. Let's do that." + +They walked home, holding hands and humming a tune. Lila learned that she should not hide her flute in a dirty hole, but keep it in a safe and clean place. She also learned that she could share her music with others and make new friends. She was happy and proud of her flute. +Lily was a frog who liked to splash in the pond. She had many friends who also liked to splash, like Sam the fish and Max the duck. They had fun playing games and making bubbles in the water. + +One day, Lily saw something interesting on the other side of the pond. It was a big red ball that bounced and rolled on the grass. Lily wanted to play with the ball, so she hopped out of the pond and followed it. + +"Where are you going, Lily?" Sam asked. + +"I want to play with the ball. It looks fun," Lily said. + +"Be careful, Lily. The ball is not for frogs. It is for dogs," Max warned. + +Lily did not listen to Max. She thought he was just jealous. She chased the ball until she reached a fence. She saw a big dog sleeping under a tree. The ball was next to the dog. + +Lily was not afraid of the dog. She thought he was just a big furry friend. She jumped over the fence and grabbed the ball with her mouth. She tried to bounce it, but it was too big and heavy for her. + +The dog woke up and saw Lily with his ball. He was angry and growled. He ran towards Lily and bit her. Lily dropped the ball and tried to escape, but it was too late. The dog was faster and stronger than her. He shook her and tossed her in the air. + +Lily was hurt and scared. She wished she had listened to Max and stayed in the pond. She missed her friends and her home. She cried for help, but no one heard her. The dog played with her like a toy until he got bored. Then he left her alone on the grass. Lily did not move. She did not splash anymore. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play near the river. The river was long and had many fish and rocks. Sometimes they threw stones in the water and watched the ripples. Sometimes they made boats from leaves and sticks and raced them. + +One day, they saw a big duck on the river. It had white feathers and a yellow beak. It quacked loudly and swam fast. Lily and Tom wanted to feed the duck some bread. They ran to their picnic basket and took out a slice. They broke it into pieces and threw them to the duck. + +But the duck did not eat the bread. It ignored the pieces and kept quacking. Lily and Tom wondered why the duck did not like their bread. They threw more pieces, but the duck still did not eat them. They got closer to the duck and tried to talk to it. + +"Hello, duck. Why don't you eat our bread? It is yummy and soft. Don't you like it?" Lily asked. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" the duck answered. + +"Maybe it is not hungry. Maybe it wants something else. What do ducks like to eat?" Tom asked. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" the duck said again. + +Lily and Tom were confused. They did not know what the duck wanted. They looked around and saw some green plants on the river bank. They thought maybe the duck liked to eat plants. They picked some plants and threw them to the duck. + +But the duck did not eat the plants either. It got angry and flapped its wings. It splashed water at Lily and Tom and made them wet. Lily and Tom were surprised and scared. They ran away from the duck and back to their picnic basket. + +They heard a loud laugh behind them. They turned around and saw a man standing on the other side of the river. He had a camera in his hand and a smile on his face. + +"Ha, ha, ha! That was funny! You two are so silly! That was not a real duck. That was a toy duck. I put it on the river to trick you. I took pictures of you trying to feed it. You look so embarrassed!" the man said. + +Lily and Tom felt angry and sad. They did not like the man's joke. They did not like the toy duck. They did not like being wet and embarrassed. They grabbed their picnic basket and ran away from the river. They decided not to play near the river again. They did not want to see the man or the toy duck ever again. +Lily and Max were playing in their room. They liked to dress up in different clothes and pretend to be someone else. Lily found a big hat and a long coat. She put them on and said, "Look, Max, I am a detective. I can find anything that is hidden." + +Max smiled and said, "That is fun, Lily. Can I be a detective too?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But you need to match your clothes. You can't wear a pirate hat and a superhero cape. That is silly." + +Max looked at his clothes and said, "You are right, Lily. I need to change. Where can I find a hat and a coat like yours?" + +Lily said, "You can look in the closet. There are many clothes there. But you have to be quick. Mom will call us for lunch soon." + +Max ran to the closet and opened it. He saw many clothes inside. He looked for a hat and a coat that matched. He found a blue hat and a red coat. He put them on and said, "Look, Lily, I am a detective too. Do I match?" + +Lily looked at Max and said, "No, Max, you don't match. Your hat and your coat are different colors. They have to be the same color. Like mine. Mine are brown." + +Max said, "Oh, I see. I will try again." He took off his hat and his coat and looked for another pair. He found a green hat and a green coat. He put them on and said, "Look, Lily, I am a detective too. Do I match now?" + +Lily looked at Max and said, "Yes, Max, you match now. Your hat and your coat are the same color. They are green. You are a good detective." + +Max smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good detective too. Let's go and find something that is hidden." + +Lily said, "OK, Max. Let's go. But first, let's close the closet. We don't want to make a mess." + +They closed the closet and held hands. They walked out of their room and said, "We are detectives. We can find anything that is hidden." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have many toys and books. They also like to watch TV. But they do not like to wake up early. + +One morning, their mom comes to their room. She says, "Wake up, Anna and Ben. It is time to get ready for school. You have to brush your teeth and eat breakfast." + +Anna and Ben groan. They do not want to get up. They want to sleep more. They pull the blanket over their heads. They say, "No, mom. We are tired. We do not want to go to school." + +Mom is not happy. She says, "You have to go to school. You have to learn and make friends. You cannot stay in bed all day. Come on, get up now. Or you will be late." + +Anna and Ben still do not listen. They close their eyes and pretend to sleep. Mom sighs. She says, "Fine. I will go to the kitchen and make coffee. But you have to get up in five minutes. Or else." + +Mom leaves the room. Anna and Ben smile. They think they are smart. They think they can trick mom. They think they can stay in bed longer. + +But they are wrong. Mom is not making coffee. She is making a plan. She goes to the living room. She turns on the TV. She puts the volume very high. She chooses a channel that Anna and Ben hate. It is a channel with harsh noises and scary pictures. + +Anna and Ben hear the TV. They are shocked. They do not like the noises and the pictures. They are scared. They jump out of bed. They stretch their arms and legs. They run to the living room. They want to turn off the TV. + +But mom is waiting for them. She says, "Too late, Anna and Ben. You did not get up when I told you. You did not listen to me. Now you have to watch this channel for ten minutes. And then you have to go to school. No more tricks. No more excuses." + +Anna and Ben cry. They do not want to watch the TV. They do not want to go to school. They wish they had listened to mom. They wish they had gotten up earlier. They wish they had not been lazy. They are sorry. But it is too late. Mom is angry. The TV is loud. The channel is harsh. The day is bad. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They collect leaves and rocks and flowers. They put them in a big basket. + +One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is shiny and round and has numbers on it. It is a clock. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see the clock. + +They go to the clock and touch it. It makes a tick-tock sound. They see a big hand and a little hand. They move slowly. + +"What is this?" Anna asks. + +"It is a clock," Ben says. "It tells time." + +"What is time?" Anna asks. + +Ben thinks. He remembers what his mom told him. "Time is how long things take. Like how long we play, or how long we sleep, or how long we eat. A minute is a little time. An hour is a big time." + +Anna nods. She tries to understand. She looks at the clock. She sees the big hand move. She counts. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. That is a minute!" + +Ben smiles. He is proud of Anna. He counts with her. "Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. That is another minute!" + +They keep counting. They forget about their basket. They forget about their leaves and rocks and flowers. They only watch the clock. + +A lady comes to the park. She sees the basket. She sees the leaves and rocks and flowers. She thinks they are pretty. She takes the basket. She walks away. + +Anna and Ben do not see the lady. They do not see the basket. They only see the clock. They count to sixty. They count to one hundred. They count to one hundred and twenty. + +They are tired of counting. They look around. They see the lady. They see the basket. They see the leaves and rocks and flowers. They are gone. + +They are sad. They are angry. They run to the lady. They shout. "Hey, that is our basket! That is our stuff! Give it back!" + +The lady is surprised. She is sorry. She did not know. She gives back the basket. She says. "I am sorry, kids. I thought you left them. I thought you did not want them. They are very nice. You did a good job collecting them." + +Anna and Ben take the basket. They say. "Thank you, lady. But we do want them. We like them. They are our treasure." + +They hug the basket. They look at the clock. They say. "Goodbye, clock. You are interesting. But you are not our treasure. You are not our friend. You make us forget what is important. You make us lose our time." + +They walk away. They hold hands. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned that time is precious. They learned that friends are more precious. They learned that collecting memories is better than collecting things. +Tara and Leo were playing with their toys in the living room. Tara had a red car that could make noises and lights. Leo had a blue truck that could carry things and roll. Tara liked her car, but she also wanted to try Leo's truck. She asked him, "Can I play with your truck, please?" + +Leo did not want to share his truck. He liked his truck very much and he did not want Tara to touch it. He said, "No, this is my truck. You have your car. Go away!" + +Tara felt sad and angry. She did not like Leo's answer. She thought he was mean and selfish. She wanted to make him sorry. She saw a candle on the table. The candle had a flame that was yellow and hot. Tara had an idea. She said, "Fine, I don't want your truck. But look, I have something better. I have a flame!" + +Leo looked at the candle. He saw the flame that was yellow and hot. He felt curious and envious. He wanted to see the flame closer. He said, "What is a flame? Can I play with it?" + +Tara smiled. She thought she could trick Leo. She said, "A flame is fun. You can touch it and feel it. It is warm and bright. Here, I will give it to you." + +She picked up the candle and moved it towards Leo. Leo reached out his hand to grab the flame. But before he could touch it, he heard a loud voice. + +"Stop!" the voice said. "Don't touch the flame! It will hurt you!" + +It was Mom. She had seen what Tara and Leo were doing. She was scared and angry. She took the candle from Tara and put it away. She said, "Tara, how could you do that? You could have burned Leo and the house! That was very bad and dangerous! And Leo, you should know better than to play with fire! That was very silly and foolish!" + +She made Tara and Leo sit on the couch and think about what they had done. She said, "You both need to say sorry to each other and to me. And you both need to learn to share and be kind. No more playing with flames or candles. Do you understand?" + +Tara and Leo nodded. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Tara. Sorry, Leo." + +They hugged each other and Mom. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their toys together and be nice. They did not want to play with flames anymore. They knew they were not fun. They were scary and dangerous. +Lila and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But they did not like to share. Lila wanted the red blocks and Ben wanted the blue blocks. They started to fight and pull and push. + +"Give me that red block!" Lila shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben yelled. + +They made a big mess. The blocks fell down and scattered on the floor. Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "You are making a lot of waste. You are not playing nicely. You are fighting." + +Lila and Ben looked at Mom. They felt bad. They did not want to make Mom angry. They wanted to make Mom happy. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Lila and Ben said. + +Mom smiled. She hugged them and said, "It's okay. I love you. But you need to learn to share and settle. Sharing is caring. Settling is peaceful. Can you do that?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We can share and settle." + +Mom helped them pick up the blocks. She gave them each some red and blue blocks. They said thank you and started to build again. They shared and settled. They made a big castle with a red roof and a blue door. They were happy. Mom was happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a tall tree with many green leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +They ran to the tree and found a big branch that they could hold. They pulled themselves up and split the branch in two. One part went to Lily and one part went to Ben. They each had a stick to help them climb higher. + +As they climbed, they saw a nest with three eggs. They were white and shiny. They wondered what was inside. They heard a sound from above. It was a dove. The dove was the mother of the eggs. She was angry that Lily and Ben were near her nest. She flew down and pecked at their heads. + +Lily and Ben were scared and hurt. They dropped their sticks and slid down the tree. They ran away from the dove and the nest. They learned not to bother the animals that lived in the tree. They hugged each other and said sorry. They went home and told their mom what happened. She gave them a kiss and a band-aid. She told them to be careful and respectful of nature. They nodded and said yes. They still liked to play outside, but they never climbed that tree again. +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play together in the park. Sometimes they pretend they are pirates and look for treasure. Sometimes they pretend they are animals and run and jump. Sometimes they pretend they are kings and queens and live in a big castle. + +One day, they find a big cardboard box in the park. They decide to pretend it is their luxury car. They draw windows and wheels on the box with crayons. They make noises like a car and drive around the park. They wave to the other children and say hello. + +"Where are we going, Ben?" Anna asks. + +"We are going to the zoo, Anna," Ben says. "We are going to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants." + +"Wow, that sounds fun, Ben," Anna says. "I love the zoo. Can we feed the animals?" + +"Sure, Anna," Ben says. "We have some bread and carrots in the back of the car. We can share them with the animals." + +They drive to a big tree and park their car. They get out of the box and pretend it is the zoo gate. They pay with some leaves and enter the zoo. They see some squirrels and birds and pretend they are the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. They throw some bread and carrots to them and make animal sounds. + +"Roar, I am a lion," Ben says. + +"Ooh-ooh, I am a monkey," Anna says. + +"Trumpet, I am an elephant," Ben says. + +They have a lot of fun at the zoo. They are very happy. They hug each other and say thank you for being such good friends. They get back in their car and drive home. They put the box in a safe place and say goodbye. They promise to play again tomorrow. They smile and wave. They are very happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to clean up after themselves. They always left their toys on the floor, on the bed, and on the table. Their mom was not happy with them. She told them to clean their room every day, but they did not listen. + +One day, mom had a surprise for them. She said, "I have something amazing for you, but you have to wait until you clean your room. Then you can see it." Anna and Ben were curious. They wanted to see the amazing thing. They thought it might be a new toy, or a cake, or a book. They decided to clean their room quickly. + +They worked together to put their toys in the boxes, their clothes in the closet, and their books on the shelf. They made their bed and swept the floor. They were proud of their work. They ran to mom and said, "We cleaned our room, mom! Can we see the amazing thing now?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Follow me." She led them to the living room, where they saw a big box with a bow on it. They opened the box and gasped. Inside was a puppy! It was brown and fluffy and had a wagging tail. It licked their faces and barked happily. Anna and Ben hugged the puppy and thanked mom. They named him Spot. + +Mom said, "I'm glad you like your surprise. But remember, having a puppy is a big responsibility. You have to feed him, walk him, and clean up after him. And you have to keep your room clean, too. Can you do that?" + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We can do that. We learned our lesson. Cleaning is not so bad when we do it together. And it makes us happy to see you happy. And we love Spot. He is amazing!" + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you, too. You are amazing!" +Lily loved to play in the garden with her dog Spot. They liked to dig holes and bury things, like bones, toys and flowers. Lily always said, "Spot, we are making a treasure map for later. We will find our things again when we want to play with them." + +One day, Lily and Spot found a shiny stone in the dirt. It was round and smooth and sparkled in the sunshine. Lily thought it was incredible. She said, "Spot, this is the best thing we ever buried. It is like a star from the sky. We have to remember where we put it." + +Lily and Spot dug a deep hole under the big tree and buried the shiny stone. They covered it with dirt and leaves and marked the spot with a stick. Lily said, "Spot, we will come back tomorrow and dig up our star. It will be our secret." + +But that night, a storm came. It rained and thundered and winded. Lily and Spot stayed inside and cuddled with Mom and Dad. They were scared of the noise and the dark. They hoped their star was safe under the tree. + +The next morning, the storm was gone. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. Lily and Spot ran outside to the garden. They looked for the stick under the tree, but they could not find it. The wind had blown it away. The dirt and leaves were all mixed up. Lily and Spot did not know where they had buried their star. They dug and dug, but they could not find it. They were sad and disappointed. + +Then, Lily saw something shiny in the grass. It was the shiny stone. It had been washed out by the rain. It was still round and smooth and sparkled in the sunshine. Lily was so happy. She said, "Spot, look! We found our star. It was not lost. It was waiting for us. It is incredible." She picked up the stone and hugged it. Spot wagged his tail and licked her face. They were happy and excited. They had found their treasure. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. They saw many vegetables growing in the soil. There were carrots, beans, lettuce and tomatoes. + +"Look, Tom, a big carrot!" Lily said. She tried to pull it out, but it was too hard. She asked Tom to help her. Tom held her hand and they pulled together. The carrot came out with a pop. It was long and orange and perfect. + +"Wow, what a nice carrot!" Tom said. "Can we eat it?" + +Lily nodded. She wiped the dirt off the carrot and broke it in half. She gave one half to Tom and kept the other half for herself. They bit into the crunchy vegetable and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is yummy!" Lily said. "Do you want to try the other vegetables?" + +Tom nodded. He reached for a bean pod and opened it. Inside, there were green beans. He gave some to Lily and they ate them. They were sweet and tender. + +They moved on to the lettuce and the tomatoes. They picked some leaves and some red fruits and made a salad. They ate it with their fingers and enjoyed the fresh taste. + +They were full and happy. They thanked the plants for the food and watered them again. They ran back to the house to tell their mom about their garden adventure. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with rocks. She liked to find different shapes and colors of rocks and make them into piles or patterns. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a big pile of rocks near the pond. She ran to the pile and started to pick up rocks and throw them into the water. + +"Look, mom, I can make big splashes!" she shouted. + +Mom came over and smiled. "That's nice, Lily, but be careful not to hurt the ducks or the fish. They live in the pond and they don't like rocks hitting them." + +Lily nodded, but she didn't really listen. She thought it was fun to see the water splash and the ducks quack. She threw more and more rocks, bigger and bigger ones, until she saw a very big rock that looked like a ball. She wanted to throw it, but it was too heavy for her. She tried to lift it, but it slipped from her hands and fell on her foot. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "Mom, it hurts!" + +Mom ran to her and hugged her. She checked her foot and saw that it was bruised and swollen. She took out a band-aid and put it on her foot. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, that must hurt a lot. But you know, you shouldn't have thrown so many rocks. You could have hurt yourself or the animals. Rocks are not toys, they are part of nature. You should respect them and leave them where they are." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She realized that she had been selfish and careless. She looked at the pond and saw the ducks swimming away and the fish hiding under the water. She felt bad for them, too. + +"I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry, ducks, I'm sorry, fish. I won't throw rocks anymore. I will be gentle and kind to nature. Can we go and feed the ducks some bread instead?" + +Mom smiled and kissed her. "That's a good idea, Lily. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Come on, let's go and make some new friends." + +They walked to the bench and took out some bread. They tore it into pieces and threw it to the ducks. The ducks came closer and ate the bread. They quacked happily and wagged their tails. Lily smiled and clapped her hands. She felt happy and peaceful. She learned that rocks are not for throwing, but for admiring. She learned that nature is not for hurting, but for loving. She learned that being gentle and kind is better than being selfish and careless. She learned a valuable lesson that day. +Lily and Sam were twins. They liked to play together and share their toys. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It was a gift from their grandma. They opened the box and found two pairs of pants. One pair was red and had stars on it. The other pair was blue and had stripes on it. + +"Wow, these pants are so pretty!" Lily said. "I want the red ones. They match my shirt." + +"No, I want the red ones. They are more fun." Sam said. "You can have the blue ones. They are boring." + +They started to fight over the pants. They pulled and tugged and shouted. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop and share. + +"Fine, I will order you to give me the red pants!" Sam said. He pushed Lily and grabbed the pants. + +"Ow, you hurt me!" Lily said. She cried and ran to their mom. + +Their mom was very angry. She took the pants from Sam and put them back in the box. She said they could not have the pants until they learned to be nice and fair. She gave them each a pair of ordinary pants to wear instead. + +Lily and Sam felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not fought over the pants. They wished they had thanked their grandma for the gift. They wished they had shared and played together. But it was too late. They had to wear the ordinary pants and go to bed without the pretty pants. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Max like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They zoom them on the floor and make loud noises. Vroom, vroom, vroom! + +One day, Lily finds a new car in her toy box. It is shiny and red and has big wheels. She loves it and wants to play with it. She zooms it on the floor and makes happy noises. Beep, beep, beep! + +Max sees Lily's new car and wants it too. He thinks it is the best car ever. He tries to take it from Lily, but she does not let him. She says it is her car and she found it first. They start to fight over the car. They pull and tug and shout. No, no, no! + +The car breaks in two. Lily and Max are sad and angry. They both cry and say it is the other's fault. They do not want to play with each other anymore. They sit on opposite sides of the room and sulk. Boo, hoo, hoo! + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the unhappy children. She says they need to share and be nice to each other. She says she can fix the car with glue. She takes the car and puts some glue on the broken parts. She sticks them together and waits for them to dry. She says the car will be clean and good as new. She smiles and hugs Lily and Max. She says they can both play with the car, but they have to take turns and be gentle. She says they can zoom it on the floor and make fun noises. She says they can also play with the other cars and have more fun. She says they are good children and she loves them. She gives them the car and kisses them. Yay, yay, yay! + +Lily and Max say they are sorry and hug each other. They say they love each other and the car. They say they will share and be nice to each other. They zoom the car on the floor and make happy noises. Beep, beep, beep! Vroom, vroom, vroom! They also play with the other cars and have more fun. They are happy and friends again. The end. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pile of mud near the swings. They ran to the mud and started to make balls and cakes with it. + +"Look at my mud cake!" Tom said. "It has leaves and rocks on it. It is the best cake ever!" + +Sam looked at Tom's cake and felt jealous. He wanted to have the best cake too. He waited until Tom was not looking and took his cake. He ran away with it and hid behind a tree. + +"Hey, where is my cake?" Tom cried. He looked around and saw Sam with his cake. "Sam, you stole my cake! That is not nice! Give it back!" + +Sam did not want to give it back. He thought Tom would be angry and hit him. He decided to eat the cake instead. He took a big bite and made a face. The cake was sour and bitter. It had dirt and worms in it. Sam spit it out and felt sick. + +"Yuck! This cake is awful!" Sam said. "I don't want it anymore!" + +Tom came to Sam and saw him with his cake. He was sad and angry. He said, "Sam, you are a bad friend. You took my cake without asking. You did not share. You did not say sorry. And you ate my cake and made a mess. You are not nice at all!" + +Sam felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had done a bad thing. He said, "Tom, I am sorry. I was wrong. I wanted to have the best cake too, but I should have asked you or made my own. I did not mean to hurt you or make you sad. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom looked at Sam and saw that he was sincere. He said, "Sam, I forgive you. But you have to promise me not to steal again. Stealing is bad. It makes people unhappy and angry. It is not a good way to make friends. Next time, let's play together and share our mud cakes. OK?" + +Sam nodded and said, "OK, Tom. I promise. Let's be friends again. And let's make new mud cakes. But this time, let's not eat them. They are not yummy at all!" + +Tom and Sam hugged and smiled. They went back to the mud pile and made new mud cakes. They had fun and learned a lesson. They never stole again. +Sara likes to bathe in the tub. She has many toys to play with. She has a duck, a fish, a boat and a sailor. The sailor is her favorite. He has a blue hat and a red shirt. + +One day, Sara is bathing with her toys. She makes the boat go fast in the water. She makes the sailor stand on the boat. She says, "Hello, sailor. Where are you going?" + +The sailor says, "I am going to the high mountain. It is very big and green. Do you want to come with me?" + +Sara says, "Yes, I do. How can we get there?" + +The sailor says, "We can use the bubbles. They are magic. They can lift us up in the air. Watch this." + +The sailor blows a big bubble with his mouth. He jumps on the bubble. The bubble floats up in the air. The sailor says, "Come on, Sara. Join me." + +Sara blows a big bubble too. She jumps on the bubble. The bubble floats up in the air. Sara and the sailor are happy. They fly over the tub, over the sink, over the window. They see the high mountain. It is very big and green. + +They say, "Wow, it is beautiful. We made it." + +They land on the mountain. They see flowers, trees, birds and animals. They explore the mountain. They have fun. They are friends. They are brave. They are sailors. +One day, a little dog was walking in the park. He saw a big cake on a table. He was very hungry and wanted to eat the cake. He looked around and saw no one. He jumped on the table and took a big bite of the cake. + +But then, he heard a loud voice. It was the judge of the cake contest. He was angry and shouted at the dog. "You bad dog! You ruined my cake! You are not allowed to eat the cake! It is for the contest!" He grabbed the dog and put him in a cage. He said he would call the pound to take the dog away. + +The dog was scared and sad. He felt helpless. He wished he had not eaten the cake. He wished he had a friend to help him. He cried and whimpered in the cage. + +Then, he saw a little girl. She was walking with her mom. She saw the dog in the cage and felt sorry for him. She asked her mom if they could help the dog. Her mom said yes. They went to the judge and asked him to let the dog go. They said they would pay for the cake and adopt the dog. + +The judge was surprised and touched. He saw that the girl and her mom were kind and generous. He felt sorry for the dog and realized he had been too harsh. He agreed to let the dog go. He said he was sorry and gave the dog a hug. + +The dog was happy and grateful. He licked the girl and her mom and wagged his tail. He had found a new family and a new home. He learned a lesson. He would never steal a cake again. He would be a good dog and obey his new owners. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge by appearances. Sometimes, a bad act can have a good outcome. Sometimes, a good act can cover a bad mistake. Always be kind and forgiving. You never know who might need your help. +Lily and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a large snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The snowman does not say anything. He just stands there and smiles. + +Ben has an idea. He picks up some snow and makes it into a ball. He raises his arm and throws the ball at the snowman. + +"Hey, watch out!" Lily says. "You will make him sad!" + +But the snowball misses the snowman and hits a tree. The tree shakes and drops some powder on the snowman. + +"Wow, look!" Ben says. "He has white hair now!" + +The snowman looks funny with the powder on his head. Lily and Ben laugh and clap their hands. + +"Maybe he likes it!" Lily says. "Maybe he thinks it is a gift!" + +The snowman still does not say anything. But he winks at them with one button eye. He is happy to have new friends. +Anna was a big girl who liked to draw. She had many original ideas for her pictures. She drew animals, flowers, houses and people. She used many colors and shapes. She was very proud of her drawings. + +Anna wanted to show her drawings to her mom and dad. But they were very busy. They had to work on their computers and talk on their phones. They had to do many things for their university. They did not have time to look at Anna's drawings. They ignored her when she tried to get their attention. + +Anna felt sad and angry. She wanted her mom and dad to see her drawings and tell her they were good. She wanted them to play with her and hug her. She did not like being ignored. She decided to do something to make them notice her. + +She took her crayons and went to the living room. She saw the big white wall. She thought it was a good place to draw. She started to draw on the wall. She drew a big sun, a rainbow, a tree and a bird. She used all her crayons. She made a big and colorful picture. + +She heard her mom and dad coming. She smiled and waited for them to see her drawing. She thought they would be happy and proud of her. But they were not. They were shocked and angry. They saw the wall and shouted at Anna. They asked her why she did that. They told her she was naughty and she had to clean the wall. + +Anna did not understand. She did not mean to be naughty. She just wanted to show them her drawing. She just wanted them to stop ignoring her. She started to cry. She wished they would understand her. She wished they would love her drawing. She wished they would love her. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a fence. The house is very rich. It has many windows and flowers. + +"Who lives there?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe a king or a queen," Ben says. + +They see a man come out of the house. He wears a nice dress and a hat. He has an envelope in his hand. He puts the envelope in the mailbox. + +"Let's go and see what's in the envelope," Ben says. + +"No, that's not nice. That's his envelope, not ours," Anna says. + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the mailbox and opens it. He takes out the envelope and opens it. He sees a lot of money inside. + +"Wow, look at this! He is very rich. Let's take some money and buy candy," Ben says. + +He puts some money in his pocket and gives some to Anna. + +"Come on, let's go," he says. + +Anna feels bad. She does not want to take the money. She wants to put it back. But Ben pulls her by the hand. + +They run to the candy store. They buy a lot of candy. They eat and eat. They feel happy. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two! Stop right there!" + +They turn around and see the man from the house. He is very angry. He has a policeman with him. + +"You stole my money! You are bad children! You are going to jail!" the man says. + +The policeman grabs them by the arms. He puts them in his car. He drives them away. + +Anna and Ben cry. They are very scared. They wish they had not taken the money. They wish they had listened to Anna. They wish they had not seen the rich house. They wish they had stayed in the park. +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily liked to play on the swings and the slide. She saw a boy with a big ball. She wanted to play with him. + +"Can I play with your ball?" she asked. + +The boy looked at her and shook his head. "No, this is my ball. Go away." + +Lily felt sad. She went back to her mom. + +"Mom, the boy won't share his ball with me. He is mean." + +Her mom hugged her. "I'm sorry, Lily. Some kids don't like to share. He is a stranger. You don't know him. It's better to play with your friends or with me." + +"Can you play with me, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. Let's go to the sandbox. I recommend you to make a castle with me. It will be fun." + +Lily smiled. She liked to make castles with her mom. They went to the sandbox and found some buckets and shovels. They started to build a big castle. + +The boy with the ball saw them. He was bored. He wanted to play with them. He ran to the sandbox and kicked their castle. He laughed. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily shouted. "You are ruining our castle. You are bad." + +The boy didn't listen. He kicked the castle again. He threw his ball at them. + +Lily and her mom were angry. They got up and left the sandbox. + +"Mom, why is he doing that?" Lily asked. + +"He is impatient. He doesn't know how to wait for his turn or ask nicely. He needs to learn some manners. Come on, let's go to the ice cream truck. I think you deserve a treat." + +Lily nodded. She liked ice cream. She forgot about the boy with the ball. She held her mom's hand and walked to the ice cream truck. She was happy. +Anna loved to play with her whistle. It was red and shiny and made a loud sound when she blew it. She liked to whistle when she walked to the park with her mom, or when she played with her dog, or when she pretended to be a train. + +One day, she took her whistle to school. She wanted to show it to her friends and teacher. She thought they would think it was impressive. She put it in her backpack and waited for recess. + +When recess came, she ran to the playground with her whistle. She wanted to blow it and make everyone look at her. But when she reached into her backpack, she could not find it. She looked and looked, but it was gone. She felt sad and scared. Where was her whistle? Did someone take it? Did she lose it? + +She asked her friends and teacher if they saw her whistle, but they said no. They tried to cheer her up and play with her, but she was too upset. She missed her whistle. She wished she had not brought it to school. + +At the end of the day, she walked home with her mom. She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said she was sorry. She said maybe someone would find her whistle and return it to her. She said maybe they could buy a new whistle if they did not. + +When they got home, they saw a surprise. There was a note on the door. It said: "I found your whistle on the bus. I hope you like it. It is impressive. From, Sam." And next to the note, there was her whistle. It was red and shiny and made a loud sound when she blew it. + +Anna was so happy. She thanked Sam and hugged her mom. She learned a lesson. She decided to keep her whistle at home and only play with it when she wanted to. She thought Sam was very nice and wanted to be his friend. She blew her whistle and smiled. +Sam is a boy who likes to go to the lab with his dad. His dad is a scientist who works with plants and animals. Sam likes to see the different colors and shapes of the things in the lab. + +One day, Sam and his dad go to the lab as regular. But when they get there, they see something strange. There is a big green plant that is moving and making noises. It has long vines and sharp teeth. It looks like a monster. + +"Wow, what is that?" Sam asks his dad. + +"That is a new plant that I made. It is a mix of a cactus and a crocodile. I call it a cactodile. It is very special and rare," his dad says. + +"Can I touch it?" Sam asks. + +"No, no, no. You can't touch it. It is very dangerous. It can bite and hurt you. You have to stay away from it," his dad says. + +But Sam is curious and brave. He wants to see the cactodile closer. He waits until his dad is busy with something else. Then he sneaks to the cage where the cactodile is. He opens the cage and reaches his hand inside. + +"Ouch!" Sam screams. The cactodile bites his finger. It hurts a lot. Sam cries and runs to his dad. + +"Dad, dad, help me! The cactodile bit me!" Sam says. + +"Oh, no, Sam. What did you do? I told you not to touch it. Come here, let me see your finger. We have to go to the doctor right now," his dad says. + +He picks up Sam and takes him to the car. He drives fast to the hospital. He hopes that Sam will be okay. He also hopes that the cactodile will not escape from the lab. He is sorry that he made such a scary plant. He thinks that maybe he should stick to regular plants and animals. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a perfect doll with long hair and a pink dress. Ben has a robot with shiny buttons and a loud voice. They are happy and share their toys. + +But then, Tom comes in. Tom is Lily and Ben's big brother. He is mean and likes to steal things. He sees Lily's doll and Ben's robot and wants them for himself. He grabs them and runs away. + +"Hey, give them back!" Lily and Ben shout. They chase Tom to his room. Tom locks the door and laughs. + +"Too bad, they are mine now!" he says. "Your toys are silly and boring. My toys are cool and fun." + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They knock on the door and ask Tom to be nice. But Tom does not listen. He plays with the doll and the robot. He pulls the doll's hair and rips her dress. He pushes the robot's buttons and breaks his leg. + +The doll and the robot are hurt and scared. They wish they could go back to Lily and Ben. They do not like Tom. He is mean and likes to steal things. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is Mom. She has heard the shouting and the banging. She comes to Tom's room and opens the door. She sees the doll and the robot on the floor. They are broken and dirty. + +"What have you done, Tom?" Mom asks. She is angry and disappointed. "You stole Lily and Ben's toys and ruined them. That is not nice. That is wrong. You have to say sorry and fix them." + +Tom is scared and ashamed. He knows he has been bad. He looks at Lily and Ben. They are crying and holding each other. He feels sorry for them. He gives them back their toys and says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. I was mean and I stole your toys. I did not mean to hurt them. They are perfect and you are nice. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and Ben look at their toys. They are happy to have them back. They hug them and thank Tom. They forgive him and ask him to play with them. + +"Thank you, Tom. We forgive you and we love you. You can play with us and our toys. But you have to be nice and share. Do you want to help us fix them?" + +Tom nods and smiles. He wants to be nice and share. He helps them fix the doll's hair and the robot's leg. They play together and have fun. Mom is proud and happy. She hugs them and tells them they are perfect and she loves them. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play and dance together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. There was a big, wide slide that looked fun. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran to the slide and waited for their turn. But there was a boy who did not want to share. He was angry and mean. He pushed Lily and Ben away. + +"Go away! This is my slide!" he shouted. + +Lily and Ben were sad and scared. They did not want to fight. They just wanted to have fun. + +"Mommy, help!" Lily cried. + +"Mommy, help!" Ben cried. + +Their moms heard them and came to the slide. They saw the angry boy and told him to stop. + +"That's not nice! You have to share the slide with others!" Lily's mom said. + +"That's not fair! You have to wait for your turn!" Ben's mom said. + +But the angry boy did not listen. He still wanted the slide for himself. He kicked and screamed and threw a tantrum. + +He was so loud and wild that he made the slide shake. He did not see that the slide was old and weak. He did not hear the crack and the snap. + +Suddenly, the slide broke. The angry boy fell down hard. He hurt his head and his arm. He cried louder than ever. + +Lily and Ben were shocked. They did not want the slide to break. They did not want the boy to get hurt. They felt sorry for him. + +But it was too late. The slide was gone. The boy was in pain. The moms were worried. The park was ruined. + +Lily and Ben could not play and dance anymore. They had to go home. They were very sad. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys on the carpet. Lily had a doll and Ben had a truck. They made noises and stories with their toys. + +"Vroom, vroom, my truck is fast and strong!" Ben said. + +"My doll is pretty and nice, she likes to sing and dance!" Lily said. + +They were having fun, but they wanted to show their toys to Mom and Dad. They picked up their toys and ran to the living room, where Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch. + +"Look, look, we have toys!" Lily and Ben said. + +Mom and Dad smiled and looked at their toys. They asked them questions and praised them. + +"Wow, your truck is very cool, Ben! Can you make it go?" Dad asked. + +"Yes, watch this!" Ben said. He pushed the truck on the floor and made it go back and forth. + +"Good job, Ben! That's a very fast and strong truck!" Dad said. + +"And your doll is very beautiful, Lily! Can you make her sing and dance?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, watch this!" Lily said. She moved the doll's arms and legs and sang a song. + +"Good job, Lily! That's a very pretty and nice doll!" Mom said. + +Mom and Dad were very proud of Lily and Ben. They clapped their hands and said, "Bravo, bravo, you are very clever and creative!" + +Lily and Ben were very happy. They hugged their toys and hugged Mom and Dad. They said, "Thank you, thank you, we love you!" + +They put their toys on the carpet and sat on the couch with Mom and Dad. They cuddled and watched a movie. They had a very good day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for worms and bugs. They had a big shovel and a small shovel. Lily had the big shovel and Ben had the small shovel. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Ben said, holding up a long, slimy thing. "It is very long and wiggly. Can I keep it?" + +"No, Ben, you have to put it back. The worm lives in the underground. It needs the dirt and the water. If you keep it, it will be sad and sick." Lily said, shaking her head. + +"But I want a pet. You have a pet. You have a cat. Why can't I have a worm?" Ben said, making a pouty face. + +"A cat is different from a worm. A cat likes to be with people and play and cuddle. A worm likes to be alone and dig and eat. They are happy in different places. You have to be kind to the worm and let it go." Lily said, gently taking the worm from Ben's hand. + +She made a wide hole in the ground and put the worm inside. She covered it with dirt and patted it softly. "Bye, worm. Have a good day." She said. + +Ben watched her and felt sorry for the worm. He realized that Lily was right. He did not want to hurt the worm or make it unhappy. He wanted to be a good friend to the worm and to Lily. He smiled and hugged Lily. "You are smart, Lily. Thank you for teaching me. I love you." He said. + +Lily hugged him back and smiled. "I love you too, Ben. You are sweet. Come on, let's go and pick some flowers for Mommy. She will be happy to see them." She said. + +They took their shovels and ran to the flower bed. They picked some yellow and purple and pink flowers. They made a beautiful bouquet and ran to the house. They gave the flowers to Mommy and told her about the worm. Mommy was proud of them and gave them a big kiss. They were happy and learned a lesson. They learned to respect and care for all living things, even the ones that live in the underground. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a pair of sunglasses on the grass. Lily picked them up and put them on. She said, "Look at me, I am so cool. I am the boss of you now. You have to do what I say." + +Sam did not like that. He said, "No, you are not the boss of me. You are just wearing sunglasses. They are not yours. We should share them or give them back." + +Lily did not listen. She said, "No, they are mine. You are silly and dumb. You have to follow me and do what I want. Or I will not be your friend." + +Sam was sad and angry. He said, "Fine, then I will not be your friend either. You are mean and bossy. I will go and play with someone else." + +He walked away and left Lily alone. Lily felt lonely and bored. She looked around and saw no one to play with. She realized that she had made a big mistake. She had lost her friend because of the sunglasses. She wished she had been nice and fair. She took off the sunglasses and ran after Sam. But it was too late. Sam had found a new friend who was kind and fun. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. Lily cried and said, "I am sorry, Sam. Please be my friend again. I will share the sunglasses with you." + +But Sam said, "No, thank you. You were not a good friend. You were selfish and rude. You can keep the sunglasses. I do not need them. I have a better friend now." + +Lily felt very sorry and sad. She learned a hard lesson. She learned that being bossy and greedy does not make you cool or happy. It makes you lose your friends and be alone. She hoped that one day, Sam would forgive her and be her friend again. But she did not know if he would. + +The end. +Lily was a young girl who liked to play doctor with her toys. She had a stethoscope, a bandage, and a pretend x-ray machine. She would check her toys' hearts, wrap their wounds, and take pictures of their bones. + +One day, she decided to play doctor with her brother, Tom. Tom was older than Lily and did not like to play doctor. He said it was boring and silly. But Lily begged him to be her patient. She said she would give him a candy if he let her take his x-ray. + +Tom agreed, but he was not happy. He lay down on the couch and let Lily put a big cardboard box over him. The box had a hole cut out for his face. Lily said it was her x-ray machine. She pretended to press some buttons and make some noises. Then she took a piece of paper with some scribbles on it and showed it to Tom. She said it was his x-ray. + +"Look, Tom, you have a big bone in your arm and a small bone in your finger. And you have a heart and a stomach and a brain. You are very healthy, Tom. Good job!" Lily said. + +Tom looked at the paper and rolled his eyes. He did not think it looked like an x-ray at all. He thought it looked like a mess. He said to Lily, "This is not an x-ray, Lily. This is a joke. You don't know how to play doctor. You are too young and silly. Give me my candy and let me go." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's words. She thought he was mean and rude. She said to Tom, "This is an x-ray, Tom. I am a good doctor. You are too old and grumpy. You don't know how to play. You don't deserve any candy. Go away." + +Tom got up and left. He did not care about Lily's feelings. He did not want to play with her anymore. He went to his room and slammed the door. + +Lily stayed on the couch and cried. She felt lonely and hurt. She wished Tom would be nicer to her. She wished he would play with her and have fun. She hugged her toys and said, "You are my best friends. You always let me play doctor with you. You always like my x-rays. You always make me happy." +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play games. One day, they play a game with beans. They have a big bowl of beans. They take turns to pick beans from the bowl. The one who picks the last bean wins. + +Tom picks one bean. Jen picks two beans. Tom picks one bean. Jen picks two beans. They do this many times. The bowl has fewer and fewer beans. Tom and Jen both want to win. They look at the bowl. There are only three beans left. + +Tom thinks hard. He has an idea. He picks two beans. He smiles. He thinks he will win. Jen looks at the bowl. She sees one bean. She has an idea too. She picks the last bean. She smiles. She says, "I win!" + +Tom is sad. He says, "No, I win! I picked more beans than you!" Jen is happy. She says, "No, I win! I picked the last bean!" They argue. They do not agree. They are not friends anymore. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see. She sees the bowl. She sees the beans. She sees Tom and Jen. She asks, "What is wrong?" Tom and Jen tell her. They both say, "I win!" Mom shakes her head. She says, "You are both wrong. You both lose. You wasted all the beans. You could have eaten them. They are amazing. They are good for you. They make you strong and smart. But now they are gone. And you are not friends. That is not a good game. That is a bad game." + +Tom and Jen feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We did not mean to waste the beans. We did not mean to fight. We want to be friends. Can we have some more beans?" Mom says, "Maybe. But first, you have to hug and say sorry to each other. And then, you have to play a different game. A game that is fun and fair. A game that does not make you sad or mad. A game that makes you happy and glad. Can you do that?" Tom and Jen nod. They hug and say sorry. They thank Mom. They go to play a different game. They are friends again. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy helicopter. They liked to make it fly high in the sky and watch it spin. But then, a big wind came and blew the helicopter away. They ran after it, but they could not catch it. They saw it land on a tall tree. + +"Oh no!" Tom cried. "Our helicopter is stuck!" + +"Maybe we can get it down," Lily said. "Let's look for a stick or a ladder." + +They looked around, but they could not find anything to help them. They felt sad and scared. They wanted their helicopter back. + +Then, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a real helicopter flying over them. It was clear and shiny, and it had a big red cross on it. It was a rescue helicopter. + +"Hello, kids!" a voice said from the helicopter. "We saw your toy on the tree. Do you need some help?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily shouted. "Can you get our helicopter down?" + +"Sure, we can!" the voice said. "We have a rope and a hook. Watch this!" + +The helicopter came closer to the tree and lowered a rope with a hook. The hook grabbed the toy helicopter and lifted it up. The helicopter flew over to Tom and Lily and dropped the toy gently on the ground. + +"Here you go!" the voice said. "Your helicopter is restored!" + +"Wow, thank you so much!" Tom and Lily said. "You are very kind and brave!" + +"You're welcome!" the voice said. "We're happy to help. Have fun with your helicopter, and be careful with the wind!" + +The helicopter waved goodbye and flew away. Tom and Lily hugged their toy and smiled. They were very happy and grateful. They learned that sometimes, when you lose something, someone can help you restore it. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Anna sees a new doll in Ben's room. It has long hair and a pretty dress. Anna wants the doll very much. + +She asks Ben, "Can I play with your doll?" + +Ben says, "No, this is my doll. My grandma gave it to me. You can play with the other dolls." + +Anna feels angry and sad. She thinks Ben is mean. She waits until Ben goes to the bathroom. Then she takes the doll and runs to her room. She hugs the doll and brushes its hair. She thinks the doll is hers now. + +But Ben sees Anna with his doll. He shouts, "Hey, that's my doll! Give it back!" + +He runs to Anna's room and tries to take the doll. Anna and Ben pull the doll from each other. They hear a rip. The doll's dress is torn. The doll's hair is falling out. The doll's eyes are broken. + +Anna and Ben stop pulling. They look at the doll. They feel guilty. They have ruined the doll. They have hurt each other. They have lost a friend. + +They cry and say, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." + +But it is too late. The doll is broken. The friendship is broken. They have no one to hug. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a shiny necklace in their mother's drawer. It is very expensive and pretty. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. He puts the necklace around his neck and pretends to be a king. "I am the ruler of the world!" + +Anna wants to try the necklace too. She takes it from Ben and puts it around her neck. "No, I am the queen!" she says. She twirls around and laughs. + +They hear their mother coming up the stairs. They are scared. They know they should not touch their mother's things. They quickly hide the necklace under a pillow. + +"Hello, my darlings," their mother says. She comes into their room and smiles. "What are you doing?" + +"Nothing, mother," Anna and Ben say. They lie to their mother. They feel bad. + +Their mother sits on the bed and hugs them. She feels something under the pillow. She lifts it up and sees the necklace. She is surprised and angry. + +"Where did you get this?" she asks. "This is my necklace. It is very expensive and special. You should not play with it. You could break it or lose it." + +Anna and Ben look at their mother. They are sorry. They tell her the truth. They say they found the necklace in her drawer and wanted to try it. They say they are sorry for lying to her. + +Their mother is still angry, but she is also glad that they told her the truth. She tells them that lying is wrong and that they should always be honest. She tells them that the necklace was a gift from their father and that it means a lot to her. She tells them that they can play with their own toys, but not with her things. + +Anna and Ben nod and say they understand. They say they love their mother and their father. They say they will not lie again. + +Their mother hugs them and kisses them. She says she loves them too. She says she forgives them. She puts the necklace back in her drawer and locks it. She tells them to play nicely and leaves the room. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel happy. They have learned a lesson. They play with their toys and do not lie anymore. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with green fruits. Lila wanted to try one. She asked her mom, "Can I have a fruit, please?" + +Her mom said, "No, Lila, those are limes. They are very sour and bitter. You will not like them." + +But Lila was persistent. She asked again and again. She said, "Please, mom, just one. I want to taste it." + +Her mom said, "No, Lila, you will not like it. Trust me." + +But Lila did not listen. She climbed the tree and picked a lime. She peeled it and took a big bite. She made a face and spit it out. It was very sour and bitter. She did not like it at all. + +She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, you were right. The lime was very sour and bitter. I did not like it. I'm sorry I did not listen to you." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lila. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Sometimes, mom knows best. Next time, listen to me and you will be happier." + +Lila nodded and said, "I will, mom. I love you." + +She gave her mom a kiss and went back to play with Ben. She learned that being persistent is not always good. Sometimes, it is better to listen and obey. +Anna and Ben liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoomed and honked and crashed their cars all day. + +One day, Anna found a new car in her toy box. It was shiny and red and had a big spoiler. She had never seen it before. She thought it was the most original car ever. She wanted to play with it right away. + +"Look, Ben, look at my new car!" she said, holding it up. "It is so cool and fast. Can I use it in our game?" + +Ben looked at the car and frowned. He paused and thought for a moment. He remembered that he had seen that car yesterday. It was his car. He had left it on the table when he went to eat his snack. He was sure that Anna had taken it without asking. + +"That is not your car, Anna. That is my car!" he said, grabbing it from her hand. "You are a thief. You stole my car. Give it back to me!" + +Anna was shocked and angry. She did not steal the car. She found it in her toy box. She thought it was a gift. She wanted to keep it. She pulled the car back from Ben. + +"No, it is my car. I found it in my toy box. You are a liar. You left it there. It is mine now!" + +They both pulled and tugged at the car. They shouted and cried. They did not listen to each other. They did not share. They did not play. + +The car broke in half. The wheels and the spoiler fell off. The shiny red paint scratched and peeled. The car was ruined. + +Anna and Ben looked at the broken car and felt sad. They had lost their original car. They had lost their fun game. They had lost their friendship. They wished they had been nicer to each other. But it was too late. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs and worms. They had a bucket and a shovel and a rake. They were having fun. + +Then they saw a rat. It was lying on the grass. It was not moving. It was dead. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not like rats. They thought rats were dirty and mean. + +"Let's bury it," Tom said. "Then we won't see it anymore." + +"OK," Lily said. "But where?" + +They looked around. They saw a big tree. It had a lot of leaves and flowers. It looked nice. + +"Let's bury it under the tree," Lily said. "Then it can be comfortable." + +They took the rat and put it in the bucket. They carried it to the tree. They dug a hole with the shovel. They put the rat in the hole. They covered it with dirt. They raked the dirt smooth. They picked some flowers and put them on the dirt. + +"There," Tom said. "Now the rat is buried. It can rest." + +Lily nodded. She felt sad for the rat. She wondered why it died. + +"Maybe it was sick," she said. "Or maybe it was old." + +"Maybe," Tom said. "But now it is not sick or old anymore. It is just sleeping." + +They held hands and walked back to their toys. They learned that even rats deserve respect and kindness. They learned that burying is a way of saying goodbye. They learned that life is precious and fragile. They learned to be grateful for their own health and happiness. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play dress-up. Today, they are pretending to be a princess and a prince. They have a big box full of clothes and hats and jewels. They pick their favorite ones and put them on. + +"Look at me, Anna!" Ben says. He wears a red cape and a shiny crown. "I am the king of the palace!" + +"You are very handsome, Ben!" Anna says. She wears a pink dress and a pearl necklace. "I am the queen of the palace!" + +They hold hands and walk to the living room. They pretend it is their ballroom. They turn on the music and start to dance. They spin and twirl and laugh. + +"Anna, you are a very good dancer!" Ben says. + +"Thank you, Ben! You are a very good dancer, too!" Anna says. + +They dance for a long time. They are having fun. But then, they hear a noise. It is Anna's mom. She comes to the living room. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben!" she says. "What are you doing?" + +"We are dancing, Mom!" Anna says. "We are the king and queen of the palace!" + +"That's wonderful, Anna!" her mom says. "But it is almost time for dinner. Can you be patient and help me set the table?" + +"Okay, Mom!" Anna says.

They take a blanket, some snacks, and a flashlight. They also take Max with them. They walk for a long time until they find a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket on the ground and make a tent with some sticks and leaves. They pretend they are explorers in the jungle. + +They have a lot of fun in their camp. They eat their snacks, tell stories, and play with Max. They hear some noises in the woods, but they are not afraid. They know Max will keep them safe. + +But then, it starts to get dark. Lily and Ben look at the sky and see the stars. They realize they have to go home soon. They pack their things and get ready to leave. But they have a problem. They don't remember the way back. They look around and see only trees and shadows. They feel lost and scared. + +"Max, help us!" Lily cries. "We can't find our home!" + +Max barks and wags his tail. He sniffs the air and the ground. He knows the way back. He is a dependable dog. He runs ahead and leads Lily and Ben out of the woods. He stops every now and then to make sure they are following him. + +Soon, they see the lights of their house. They run towards it and hug their mom and dad.

She liked to play with her dolls and read books. One day, her mom took her to the pool with her friend Leo. Leo was a boy who loved to swim and splash. He wanted to play with Anna, but she was scared of the water. + +"Come on, Anna, swimming is fun!" Leo said. "I can show you how to kick and float. Don't be shy!" + +Anna shook her head and hugged her mom. She did not want to swim. She did not want to get wet. She did not want to leave her mom. + +"Anna, it's okay to be shy, but sometimes you have to try new things," her mom said. "Swimming is good for you. It can make you strong and happy. And Leo is a nice friend. He can help you learn. Why don't you give it a try?" + +Anna looked at the pool. She saw Leo smiling and waving at her. She saw other kids having fun. She saw the sun shining and the water sparkling. She felt a little curious. Maybe swimming was not so bad. Maybe she could try it. + +She let go of her mom and took Leo's hand. He led her to the shallow end of the pool. He showed her how to put on a floatie and how to kick her legs. He held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. You can do it." + +Anna felt the water on her skin. She felt the floatie on her chest. She felt Leo's hand in hers. She felt brave. She kicked her legs and moved in the water. She smiled and said, "This is fun!" + +Leo smiled back and said, "See? I told you. You're a good swimmer, Anna. You're not shy anymore." + +Anna and Leo swam and played for a long time.

"You did a good job, Lila. Do you know who would love this radish?" + +Lila thought for a moment. She remembered her friend Ben, who lived next door. He liked to eat radishes with salt. He was kind and shared his toys with her. + +"Ben!" she said. "Can we send it to him?" + +"Sure, we can," her mom said. "Let's wash it and put it in a basket.

Anna says. "Let's pick some and make juice." + +"OK, Anna, but how can we reach them?" Ben asks. "They are too high." + +Anna has an idea. She finds a white stool in the shed. She brings it to the tree. She stands on the stool and tries to grab a lime. + +"Be careful, Anna!" Ben says. "The stool is not strong. It might break." + +But Anna does not listen. She wants the lime. She pulls hard on the branch. The branch snaps. The lime falls on Anna's head. The stool breaks. Anna falls on the ground. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna cries. "My head hurts.

I should have listened to you. You were right. The stool was not strong. I was greedy. I wanted the lime too much." + +Ben says, "It's OK, Anna. We all make mistakes. But we can learn from them. Next time, let's ask Mom or Dad to help us. They have a ladder. They can pick the limes safely." + +Anna agrees. She says, "Yes, Ben. Let's do that. And let's share the limes with them. Sharing is good." + +They hug again. They go inside. They tell Mom and Dad what happened. Mom and Dad are not angry. They are glad that Anna and Ben are OK. They are proud that they learned a lesson. They make lime juice together. They drink it and smile. It is sweet. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Tom finds a notebook in his room.

She was very happy and curious, and always wanted to see new things. + +One day, she saw a can of tuna on the kitchen counter. She had never seen tuna before, but she smelled it and it smelled very good. She wanted to taste it, so she jumped on the counter and tried to open the can with her paws. But the can was too hard and sharp, and she hurt herself. She cried out loud and ran away. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the can of tuna and the blood on Lila's paw. She was very worried and angry. She picked up Lila and took her to the bathroom. She cleaned her wound and put a bandage on it.

You have to be careful and listen to me, Lila. I love you and I want you to be safe." + +Lila felt very sorry and ashamed. She blinked her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious and hungry. I didn't know the tuna was bad for me. I love you too, mom. Can you forgive me?" + +Mom hugged Lila and said, "Of course I forgive you, Lila. You are my sweet kitten. But you have to promise me that you will not touch the tuna or anything else on the counter again. And you have to eat your own food, not dad's. OK?" + +Lila nodded and said, "OK, mom. I promise. Thank you for taking care of me, mom. You are the best mom ever." + +Mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lila. Now let's go to your bed and rest. You must be very sleepy after your adventure." + +Lila agreed and followed mom to her bed. She curled up and closed her eyes. She dreamed of playing with her toys and being happy with mom. She learned her lesson and never touched the tuna again. + +The end. +Ben liked to move. He liked to run, jump, climb and dance. He did not like to sit still and be quiet. His mom said he had too much energy. + +One day, his mom took him to the library. She said he could find many books with pictures and stories. She said he had to be quiet and gentle in the library. Ben nodded, but he did not like the library. It was too big and too quiet. He wanted to move. + +He saw a thin book on a shelf. It had a picture of a dog on the cover. Ben liked dogs. He reached for the book, but he knocked down another book. The book fell on the floor with a loud thud. Ben gasped. He looked around. He saw a lady with glasses and a bun. She was the librarian.

He is proud of his mask. He thinks it is funny. + +"Look, mom, I found this mask in the leaves. It is a leaf monster. Do you like it?" Tom says. + +His mom takes off the mask and looks at it. She sees that it is made of paper and paint. She knows that it is not a real monster. + +She gives the mask back to Tom and says, "This is a very nice mask, Tom. You are very creative.

One day, she wanted to surprise them with breakfast in bed. She got up early and went to the kitchen. She found some bread, butter, jam, eggs, and milk. She put them on a big tray. + +She was very careful as she carried the tray to her parents' room. She did not want to spill anything or make any noise. She had to step over the toys on the floor and the cat on the stairs. She smiled as she thought of how happy her mom and dad would be. + +But when she reached their door, she saw something that made her stop. There was a sign on the door that said "Do not disturb".

They said they had a surprise for them. They went behind a curtain and waited for the music to start.

They were best friends. +One day, a tall girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. + +"Can I go first, mom?" she asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful," her mom said. + +Lily sat on the slide and pushed herself down. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiled and shouted, "Whee!" + +But then, she saw a boy at the bottom of the slide. He was not moving and he looked angry. He had a red ball in his hand. + +"Hey, you!" he yelled. "This is my slide! You can't use it!" + +Lily was scared and stopped. She did not know what to do. She did not want to make the boy mad, but she also wanted to have fun. + +"Who are you?" she asked. + +"I'm Max, and this is my park," he said. "You have to ask me before you play here." + +Lily did not think that was fair. She did not see any sign that said the park was his. She thought the park was for everyone. + +"No, it's not," she said. "The park is for all the kids. You can't tell me what to do." + +"Yes, I can," he said. "You're a girl, and girls are silly. You don't know how to play right." + +Lily felt angry and sad. She did not like what he said. She thought girls were smart and fun. She wanted to tell him that, but she did not know how. + +She looked at her mom, who was watching them. Her mom smiled and nodded. She gave her a sign to start talking. + +Lily took a deep breath and said, "You're wrong, Max. Girls are not silly. Girls are awesome. And I know how to play right. I can slide and run and jump and throw. I can do anything you can do. And I can share, too. Do you want to play with me and my mom? We can take turns on the slide and play with your ball." + +Max was surprised. He did not expect her to say that. He looked at her and her mom. They seemed nice and friendly. He felt a little sorry for being mean. + +He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Lily. I'm sorry for being mean. You can play with me and my ball. And we can share the slide. But you have to promise me one thing." + +"What is it?" she asked. + +"You have to promise me that you won't be taller than me," he said. + +Lily laughed and said, "I can't promise that, Max. I don't know how tall I will be. But I can promise that I will be your friend." + +Max smiled and said, "That's good enough for me. Come on, let's play." + +And they did. They played on the slide and with the ball. They had fun and learned to get along. And their moms were happy, too. They watched them and talked to each other. They were glad that their kids started to be friends. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and swing and slide. One day, they see a big hill with snow on it. They want to go down the hill very fast. + +They find a big piece of cardboard and put it on the snow. They sit on the cardboard and hold on tight. Then they push with their feet and start to go down the hill. They go faster and faster and faster. + +But the hill is too steep and the snow is too slippery. The cardboard turns and twists and flips. Sara and Ben scream and laugh and scream. They are having fun, but they are also frightened. + +They slip off the cardboard and roll on the snow. They stop at the bottom of the hill. They are wet and cold and dizzy. They look at each other and smile. They are happy they are not hurt. + +They get up and shake off the snow. They want to go down the hill again. But they do not have the cardboard anymore. It is at the top of the hill. They do not want to climb the hill again. It is too hard and too far. + +They look for something else to play with. They see a big pile of leaves. They run to the pile and jump in it. They make a big mess and have a lot of fun. They forget about the hill and the snow and the cardboard. They do not need them yet. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, Tom has a new car. It is red and shiny. He shows it to Anna. + +"Wow, Tom, your car is very pretty!" Anna says. "Where did you get it?" + +"My dad gave it to me. He said it is a good news. He got a new job. He said we can buy more toys and food." Tom says. He is happy. + +"That is a good news, Tom. I am happy for you and your dad." Anna says. She hugs Tom. + +"Thank you, Anna. Do you want to play with my car?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, please. Can I polish it for you? I have a cloth." Anna says. + +"Sure, Anna. You can polish it. It will make it more shiny." Tom says. + +They play with the car. They polish it and make it go fast. They have fun. They are good friends. +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play outside in the park. One day, it was very cold and windy. Tom had a warm coat, but Anna did not. She only had a thin sweater. + +"Anna, you need a coat," Tom said. "You will get sick if you stay out here." + +"I don't have a coat," Anna said. "My mom said we don't have money for a coat. She said I have to wait until next year." + +Tom felt sorry for Anna. He wanted to help her. He had an idea. He took off his coat and gave it to Anna. + +"Here, you can wear my coat," he said. "I don't need it. I'm not cold." + +Anna smiled. She put on Tom's coat. It was big and warm. She felt cozy. + +"Thank you, Tom," she said. "You are very nice. You are my best friend." + +They hugged. Then they ran to the swings. They were lively. They had fun. + +But Tom was wrong. He did need his coat. He was cold. He shivered. He sneezed. He felt bad. He got a fever. He had to go home. He had to go to the doctor. He had to stay in bed for a long time. He missed Anna. He missed the park. He was sad. He wished he had his coat. He wished he had explained to Anna that they could share his coat. He wished he had been smarter. He wished he had a better ending. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, they wanted to go to the park with their mom, but she said they had to wait until after lunch. + +"Can we play in the yard until then?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, but put on your pants and jackets. It's cold today," Mom said. + +Tim and Kim ran to their room and put on their pants and jackets. They were ready to have fun. They went outside and took turns on the swing and the slide. Then they went to the sandbox and started to build a castle. + +"Look, our castle is almost done!" Kim said. + +"It's the best castle ever!" Tim said. + +They were so happy that they did not notice the big gray cloud in the sky. They did not hear the thunder or see the lightning. They did not feel the first drops of rain. + +But they felt the second and the third and the fourth. Soon, the rain was pouring down and soaking them. Their pants and jackets were wet and heavy. Their castle was washed away by the water. + +"Mom, Mom, help!" they cried. + +Mom heard them and ran outside with an umbrella. She saw them shivering and crying in the sandbox. She felt sorry for them and hugged them. + +"Come on, let's go inside. You're wet and cold," she said. + +She took them inside and helped them change into dry clothes. She gave them some hot chocolate and cookies. She checked their temperature and gave them some medicine. + +"Why did you stay outside in the rain?" she asked. + +"We were having fun. We did not see the rain," Tim said. + +"We were making a castle. We did not hear the thunder," Kim said. + +Mom shook her head and sighed. + +"You have to pay attention to the weather. It can change quickly and be dangerous. You could get sick or hurt," she said. + +She was right. The next day, Tim and Kim woke up with sore throats and runny noses. They could not go to the park or play outside. They had to stay in bed and rest. They were bored and sad. + +They also had to sneeze a lot. Every time they sneezed, they felt worse. They wished they had listened to Mom and gone inside when the rain started. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your mom and pay attention to the weather. +Jill and Ben were twins who liked to play with toys. They had many toys in their room, but they wanted more. One day, they asked their mom to take them to the store. Their mom said yes, but she told them to be careful and not touch everything. + +At the store, Jill and Ben saw many colorful and shiny toys. They ran around and picked up the ones they liked. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to put them back. They also did not notice the shy boy who was looking at the same toys. He wanted to play with them, but he was too scared to ask. + +Suddenly, the store started to shake. It was an earthquake. The toys fell from the shelves and the lights went out. Jill and Ben screamed and dropped their toys. They looked for their mom, but they could not see her. They were alone and afraid. + +The shy boy was also scared, but he saw Jill and Ben. He wanted to help them. He walked towards them and said, "Hi, I'm Tom. Do you want to hold my hand?" But Jill and Ben did not hear him. They were too busy crying and calling for their mom. + +The earthquake got worse. The store collapsed and buried Jill, Ben, and Tom under the rubble. They never saw their mom again. They never played with toys again. They never became friends. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a package on a bench. It is big and red. They are curious. + +"Who left this package here?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe it is a gift for us!" Ben says. + +They open the package. Inside, there are many toys. There are dolls, cars, balls, and books. Anna and Ben are happy. They play with the toys. + +But then, a man comes to the bench. He looks angry and sad. He has a paper in his hand. + +"Have you seen my package?" he asks. "It is big and red. I need it for my son. It is his birthday today. I lost it on the bus." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for the man. They give him the package. + +"Here is your package, sir," Anna says. + +"We are sorry, we did not know it was yours," Ben says. + +The man is surprised and grateful. He smiles and hugs them. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" he says. "You are very kind and honest. You are lucky children. You can keep one toy each as a reward." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They choose one toy each. Anna picks a doll. Ben picks a car. They thank the man and wave goodbye. + +They play with their new toys. They are glad they helped the man.

The cow was soft and warm and made a moo sound. Lily and Ben laughed and said thank you to the cow. + +Next, Anna took them to the pig pen where the pigs were. She said the pigs gave them meat and bacon. She let Lily and Ben watch the pigs roll in the mud and snort. The pigs were dirty and smelly and made a oink sound. Lily and Ben held their noses and said eww to the pigs. + +Then, Anna took them to the chicken coop where the chickens were. She said the chickens gave them eggs and feathers. She let Lily and Ben collect some eggs and stroke a chicken. The chicken was fluffy and clucky and made a bawk sound.

She let Lily and Ben touch a sheep and see how soft it was. The sheep was white and curly and made a baa sound. Lily and Ben hugged the sheep and said aww to the sheep. + +Anna also introduced them to her dog, who was old and friendly. She said the dog gave them love and protection.

He always took the car with him wherever he went. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and his dog, Spot. He ran and jumped and had fun with Spot. He also played with his car on the grass and on the slide. He made the car go vroom vroom and beep beep. + +But then, he saw some other kids playing with a ball. He wanted to join them, so he left his car on the bench and ran to the ball. He threw and caught the ball with the other kids. He forgot about his car. + +When it was time to go home, he said bye to the other kids and ran to his mom. He held her hand and walked to the car. But then, he remembered his car. He looked at the bench, but his car was not there. He felt sad and scared. He had lost his car. + +"Mom, mom, where is my car?" he cried. "I left it on the bench, but now it is gone. Someone took my car. I want my car." + +Mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Maybe someone found your car and thought it was theirs. Or maybe they wanted to play with it and forgot to give it back. We can look for your car, but we might not find it. You have to be careful with your things, Tom. You don't want to lose them." + +Tom nodded and wiped his tears. He felt lonely without his car. He wished he had not left it on the bench. He wished he had his car back. He hoped someone would return his car to him. He missed his car. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with different colors and shapes.

He wants to move his tower, but he doesn't want to break it. He looks around the living room. He sees a big pillow on the couch. He has an idea. + +"Maybe I can use the pillow to carry my tower," Ben thinks. He puts the pillow on the floor, and carefully slides his tower on top of it. Then he lifts the pillow with his arms, and walks slowly to the table. He is very careful not to drop his tower. + +He reaches the table, and puts his tower on it. He is very happy. He did it! + +"Ben, you are so smart!" Sara says, coming back from the bathroom. She sees Ben's tower on the table. "How did you move your tower?" + +"I used the pillow," Ben says, pointing to the couch. "I put my tower on the pillow, and then I carried the pillow to the table." + +"That's very creative, Ben!"

"I saw it first!" + +They both pulled and tugged on the acorn, but neither of them would let go. They started to fight and bite and pinch each other. They made a lot of noise and hurt each other. + +A deer named Daisy was walking by and heard the noise. She was a thoughtful deer, and she did not like to see animals fight. She went over to see what was going on. + +"Stop, stop!" Daisy said. "Why are you fighting over an acorn?" + +"Because it's mine!" Sam and Ben said at the same time. + +Daisy looked at the acorn and saw that it was not a real acorn. It was a plastic acorn that someone had left in the forest. It was not good to eat or to store. + +"Look, this is not a real acorn," Daisy said. "It's fake. It's not worth fighting over. There are many real acorns in the forest that you can share." + +Sam and Ben looked at the acorn and realized that Daisy was right. They felt silly and sorry for fighting over a fake acorn. They dropped the acorn and apologized to each other. + +"Sorry, Sam," Ben said. "I was greedy and rude." + +"Sorry, Ben," Sam said. "I was selfish and mean." + +They hugged and forgave each other.

They are happy. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a big poster on the wall. It said: "Find the lost dog and get a reward!" + +"Wow, a reward!" Tom said. "Maybe we can get candy or toys!" + +"Let's go find the dog!" Sam said. They ran outside and looked for the dog. + +They saw a dog in the park. It was brown and white and had a red collar. It looked different from the other dogs. It was very big and had sharp teeth. + +"Is that the dog?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe," Sam said. "Let's go see." + +They walked towards the dog.

It bit Tom on the arm. Tom screamed and cried. Sam ran away. + +The dog was not the lost dog. It was a bad dog. It hurt Tom. Tom did not get a reward. He got a wound. He was sad and scared.

They should be careful and smart. +Lily was a gifted girl who liked to learn new things. She had many books and toys, but her favorite thing was cardboard. She could make anything with cardboard: houses, cars, animals, and more. + +One day, she decided to make a cardboard rocket. She cut and taped and painted until it looked like a real rocket.

Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sad and angry. They did not want to share or say sorry. They turned away and crossed their arms. + +Mom sighed. She took out a photo album and showed them some pictures. "Look, this is you when you were babies. You were so cute and happy. You always smiled and hugged and shared. Do you remember?" + +Lily and Ben looked at the pictures. They saw their baby faces and their tiny hands and feet. They saw how they played together and helped each other.

Mommy put lotion on Lily's arms and legs and face. She said it was to protect her skin from the sun. Lily did not like the lotion. It was sticky and smelly and made her itch.

It will help you not get burned by the sun," Mommy said. + +"But I don't like it, Mommy. It's yucky. I want to take it off," Lily said. + +"No, Lily. You have to wear the lotion. It's not yucky.

Can we touch it?" + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it will bite us. Or run away. Lizards are fast and shy," Tom said, feeling scared. + +But Lily was curious and brave. She walked slowly to the lizard and reached out her hand. She wanted to pet it and make it her friend. + +"Hello, lizard. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you," she said softly. + +But the lizard did not like Lily. It did not want to be touched. It felt angry and scared. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth.

They ran to their mom and asked what was happening. + +Mom said, "There is a storm coming. We need to go inside and stay safe. The bright flashes in the sky are called lightning. They can be dangerous if they hit something." + +Ben and Mia nodded and followed mom inside. They saw some of their toys and books on the grass. They wanted to bring them in, but mom said, "No, it's too risky. We can get them later when the storm is over." + +Ben and Mia felt sad. They loved their toys and books.

She also knew that Ben was being mean and rude. + +She decided to stand up for herself and her microscope. She said to Ben, "I don't care if your microscope is bigger and newer. Mine is brilliant and precious. It helps me see the wonderful things that you can't see with your eyes. It also reminds me of my dad, who is a brilliant doctor and who loves me very much. I don't want a new microscope. I love the one I have. And you should not laugh at other people's things. You should be kind and respectful." + +Ben was surprised by Lily's words.

And your dad is a brilliant doctor and he loves you very much. I was mean and rude. I should not have laughed at your microscope. I should have been kind and respectful. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said to Ben, "I forgive you, Ben. And thank you for saying sorry. Maybe we can be friends and look at small things together with our microscopes. I'm sure we can learn a lot from each other." + +Ben smiled and nodded too. He said to Lily, "I would like that, Lily. Maybe we can be friends and look at small things together with our microscopes. I'm sure we can learn a lot from each other." + +And so they did. They became friends and shared their microscopes and their discoveries.

She said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. But you have to be careful. You cannot breathe fire or fly too high. You might hurt someone or break something. You have to be gentle and quiet.

They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to spread jam on our bread. But we only had one knife. And we both wanted it." + +Mom says, "You should not fight over the knife. You should share and take turns. And you should not spread jam all over the kitchen. That is not how you eat jam. You eat jam on your bread, not on the walls. Now, you have to clean up this mess. And then you can have some bread and jam. But only a little. Too much jam is not good for you. It can make you fat." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden.

He thinks Lily cheated. He types, "No, you did not win. You clapped too fast. That is not fair. You have to clap slow like me." + +Lily does not agree. She types, "No, I did not cheat. I clapped normal. You clapped too slow. That is not fun. You have to clap fast like me." + +Max and Lily start to argue. They type angry words to each other. They forget to be nice. They make each other sad. + +Mom hears them from the kitchen. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting over the fake computer. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you yelling at each other?" + +Max and Lily stop typing. They look at Mom. They feel ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were playing clap. But we could not agree on the rules. We got mad at each other." + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "Playing clap is supposed to be fun. Not a reason to fight. You have to learn to share and take turns. And to respect each other's way of playing. Can you do that?" + +Max and Lily nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We can do that. We are sorry. We love each other." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I love you too. Now, why don't you hug and make up? And then you can play something else. Maybe something that does not involve clapping." + +Max and Lily hug and say sorry to each other. They feel better. They put away the fake computer. They decide to play with their blocks instead. They build a tower together. They have fun. They are happy. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples and eat them. + +"Look, Mia, apples!" Tim says. "Let's get some!" + +"OK, Tim, but how?" Mia asks. "The tree is too high." + +Tim thinks. He sees a big rock near the tree. He decides to climb on the rock and reach for an apple. He tells Mia to wait for him. + +Tim climbs on the rock. He stretches his arm. He grabs an apple. He is happy. He wants to show Mia his apple. But he forgets to be careful. He slips on the rock. He falls down. He drops his apple. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Mia runs to Tim. She sees his knee. She sees his apple. She feels sorry for him. She hugs him. She says, "It's OK, Tim. Don't cry. I have an apple for you." + +She shows him her apple. She picked it from the ground. It was under the tree. It was not on the tree. It was easy to get. She says, "Here, Tim, have my apple. It's good. It's sweet. It's yours." + +Tim stops crying. He looks at Mia. He looks at her apple. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. Can I share your apple with you?" + +Mia nods. She smiles. She says, "Yes, Tim, let's share. We can both have some." + +They sit on the grass. They bite the apple. They enjoy it. They are happy. They are not embarrassed. They are friends. +Ben and Lily like to play in the park. They see a big pond with many fish. Ben has a net. He wants to catch a fish. + +"Look, Lily, I have a net. I can catch a fish with it. Do you want to see?" Ben says. + +Lily nods. She likes fish. She follows Ben to the pond. Ben dips his net in the water. He tries to scoop a fish. But the fish are fast. They swim away from the net. + +"Ha ha, Ben, you can't catch a fish. The fish are too smart for you. You are silly." Lily teases Ben. + +Ben feels sad. He does not like to be teased. He wants to catch a fish. He tries harder. He moves his net faster. He sees a big fish. He swings his net at it. + +Splash! Ben falls into the pond. He gets wet. He drops his net. The fish swims away. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asks. She is worried. She runs to the pond. She helps Ben out of the water. + +"I'm okay, Lily. But I'm wet and cold. And I lost my net." Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to tease you. I was just joking. You are not silly. You are brave. You tried to catch a fish. That is hard." Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are kind. You helped me. You are a good friend." Ben says. + +They hug. They are glad. They go home. They tell their mom what happened. She gives them a towel and a hug. She makes them hot chocolate. They drink it and smile. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They do not tease each other anymore. They play nicely. They love fish. But they do not catch them. They watch them. They are fun. The end. +Lily was a lively cat who liked to play with anything that moved. She saw a feather on the floor and ran to catch it. She jumped and pounced and rolled with the feather, having fun. + +Tom was a big dog who lived in the same house as Lily. He was sleeping on his bed when he heard Lily making noise. He opened his eyes and saw her playing with his feather. He got angry and growled. + +"That is my feather, cat! Give it back!" he barked. + +Lily did not want to give up the feather. She thought it was hers. She hissed and scratched at Tom, trying to keep the feather. + +Tom was stronger and faster than Lily. He bit her tail and pulled her away from the feather. He shook her hard and threw her across the room. He took the feather and went back to his bed. + +Lily was hurt and scared. She cried and ran to hide under the sofa. She wished she had not played with the feather. She wished Tom was not so mean. She wished she had a friend. +Lily and her mom were going to the park. They got in the car and drove on the road. But there were many cars on the road. They had to stop and wait. Lily saw the red and green lights. She saw the big trucks and buses. She heard the horns and sirens. She did not like the traffic. + +She asked her mom, "Why are there so many cars, mom?" + +Her mom said, "It is a busy day, Lily. Many people are going to work or school or other places. We have to be patient and careful." + +Lily nodded. She looked out the window. She saw a man with a yellow hat and a hose. He was watering the flowers on the sidewalk. He made a rainbow with the water. Lily liked the rainbow. She smiled. + +She said, "Look, mom, a rainbow!" + +Her mom said, "That's very pretty, Lily. Do you know how to make a rainbow?" + +Lily said, "Yes, mom. You need water and sun and a hose." + +Her mom said, "That's right, Lily. You are very smart. Do you want to try to make a rainbow at home?" + +Lily said, "Yes, mom. I want to try." + +Her mom said, "Okay, Lily. When we get home, we can pour some water in a bucket and use the hose in the garden. We can make a rainbow together." + +Lily clapped her hands. She was excited. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You make me proud." +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 a shiny beetle. They put them in a jar and showed them to their mom. + +"Wow, you have some interesting friends," mom said. "But you are very dirty. You need to take a shower before dinner." + +"Can we keep the bugs?" Tom asked. + +"Only for a little while. Then you have to return them to the garden. They need their home and their food," mom said. + +"OK, mom," Lily said. + +Tom and Lily took the jar to the bathroom. They turned on the shower and got in. They washed their hair and their feet and their hands. They sang a song about the bugs. They had fun. + +But then they heard a knock on the door. It was mom. + +"Time to get out, kids. Your dinner is ready. And don't forget to return the bugs," mom said. + +"OK, mom," Tom and Lily said. + +They dried themselves with a towel and put on their clothes. They took the jar and went to the garden. They opened the lid and let the worm and the beetle go. + +"Bye, bye, bugs. Thank you for being our friends," Tom and Lily said. + +They watched the bugs crawl away. Then they ran to the kitchen. They were hungry and happy. +Tim and Amy are playing with their toys in the living room. Tim has a big truck and Amy has a doll. Tim likes to make loud noises with his truck and Amy likes to dress up her doll. + +"Tim, can I play with your truck for a bit?" Amy asks. + +"No, this is my truck. You have your doll," Tim says. + +"But I want to try your truck. It looks fun," Amy says. + +"No, no, no. Go away," Tim says. + +Amy is sad. She thinks Tim is not nice. She has an idea. She goes to the kitchen and finds a cookie. She comes back to the living room and shows the cookie to Tim. + +"Tim, look what I have. A yummy cookie. Do you want some?" Amy says. + +Tim sees the cookie and his eyes get big. He loves cookies. He forgets about his truck. + +"Yes, yes, yes. Give me some," Tim says. + +"OK, but you have to let me play with your truck first. That's the reward," Amy says. + +Tim thinks for a moment. He really wants the cookie. He nods his head. + +"OK, fine. You can play with my truck for a bit. But only for a bit," Tim says. + +He gives his truck to Amy and takes the cookie. He takes a big bite and chews. But something is wrong. The cookie does not taste good. It tastes bad. It is not a real cookie. It is a fake cookie. It is made of cardboard and paint. + +"Yuck! What is this? This is not a cookie. This is a fake cookie. You tricked me," Tim says. + +He spits out the cookie and makes a face. He is angry. He wants his truck back. + +"Give me back my truck. Now," Tim says. + +He tries to grab his truck from Amy. But Amy is faster. She runs away with the truck. She laughs. + +"Ha ha ha. That's what you get for being mean. You can keep your fake cookie. I have your real truck," Amy says. + +She plays with the truck and has fun. Tim is left with the fake cookie and no fun. He cries. He wishes he had shared his truck with Amy. He learns a lesson. Sharing is better than insisting. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. But today the park is very cold. It is winter. The sky is white and the ground is white too. Lily and Ben see snowflakes falling from the sky. + +"Look, Ben, snow!" Lily says. "We can make a snowman!" + +"Yes, let's make a snowman!" Ben says. "We need a big ball for the body, a smaller ball for the head, and some sticks and stones for the eyes, nose and mouth." + +Lily and Ben roll the snow into balls. They put the balls on top of each other. They find some sticks and stones and make a face for the snowman. They also find a hat and a scarf and put them on the snowman. + +"Wow, our snowman is very nice!" Lily says. "He looks happy!" + +"He does look happy!" Ben says. "But he might be lonely. Let's send him a friend!" + +"How can we send him a friend?" Lily asks. + +"We can make another snowman!" Ben says. "And we can put him next to our snowman. Then they can talk to each other and keep each other warm." + +"Good idea, Ben!" Lily says. "Let's make another snowman!" + +Lily and Ben make another snowman. They make him look like their snowman, but with a different hat and scarf. They put him next to their snowman. They smile at their snowmen. + +"Hello, snowmen!" Lily says. "We are Lily and Ben. We made you. We hope you like each other. We are your friends too." + +"Hello, Lily and Ben!" the snowmen say. "We are very happy to meet you. Thank you for making us. We like each other very much. You are our friends too." + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They did not know that snowmen can talk. But they are also happy. They have made new friends. They hug their snowmen and say goodbye. + +"Bye, snowmen!" Lily and Ben say. "We will come back tomorrow. Have a nice day!" + +"Bye, Lily and Ben!" the snowmen say. "We will wait for you. Have a nice day too!" + +Lily and Ben run back to their homes. They are very cold, but also very happy. They tell their moms and dads about their snowmen. Their moms and dads are proud of them. They say they are very clever and tidy. They give them hot chocolate and cookies. Lily and Ben drink and eat. They think about their snowmen. They hope they are happy too. They can't wait to see them again. +Tim and Liz are twins. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, bridges, houses and more. + +One day, they decide to make a big zigzag with their blocks. They start from one end of the room and go to the other. They use red, blue, yellow and green blocks. They take turns to add one block at a time. The zigzag grows longer and longer. + +But then, they run out of blocks. They look at their zigzag and see that it is not finished. There is a gap in the middle. They need more blocks to fill the gap. + +"Where are more blocks?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe in the closet?" Liz says. + +They go to the closet and open it. They see a big box of blocks. They are happy. They grab the box and bring it to the room. + +But when they open the box, they see that the blocks are not the same as theirs. They are bigger and have letters on them. They are from their big brother, Ben. + +"Can we use these blocks?" Liz asks. + +"No, we can't. They are Ben's blocks. He will be mad if we touch them." Tim says. + +"But we need more blocks. Our zigzag is not done." Liz says. + +"Maybe we can ask him nicely. Maybe he will let us borrow some." Tim says. + +They go to Ben's room and knock on the door. Ben is reading a book. He looks at them and sees the box of blocks in their hands. + +"What do you want?" Ben asks. + +"Can we please use some of your blocks?" Tim asks. + +"Why?" Ben asks. + +"We are making a zigzag with our blocks. But we don't have enough. We need more blocks to fill the gap." Liz says. + +Ben looks at them and feels envious. He likes his blocks. He doesn't want to share them. He thinks his blocks are better than theirs. He wants to make his own zigzag. + +"No, you can't. These are my blocks. Go away." Ben says. + +He takes the box of blocks from them and slams the door. + +Tim and Liz are sad. They go back to their room and look at their zigzag. They don't know what to do. + +Then, they have an idea. They decide to separate their zigzag into two parts. They move some blocks from one end to the other. They fill the gap with their own blocks. They make two smaller zigzags. + +They look at their zigzags and smile. They are proud of their work. They don't need Ben's blocks. They have their own blocks. They have each other. + +They hug and say, "We did it!" +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. Lily had a doll and Ben had a truck. The truck was gray and big and made loud noises. Lily liked the truck and wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have your truck, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "You have your doll, play with that!" + +"But I like your truck, it's fun!" Lily said. "Please, let me have it for a little bit!" + +Ben did not want to share his truck. He held it tight and said, "No, no, no! Go away, Lily!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She tried to take the truck from Ben, but he was stronger. He pushed her away and said, "Stop it, Lily! You are mean!" + +Lily did not stop. She wanted the truck so much. She pulled and pulled, but Ben did not let go. He resisted and resisted, but Lily did not give up. + +They were both shouting and crying, when their mom came. She saw them fighting and said, "What is going on here? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Lily and Ben told their mom what happened. Their mom was not happy. She said, "You both need to learn how to share and take turns. Toys are for everyone, not just for you. How would you feel if someone took your toy and did not let you play with it?" + +Lily and Ben thought about it. They felt sorry for being selfish and rude. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Ben." + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now, why don't you play together and share your toys? You can have more fun that way." + +Lily and Ben agreed. They hugged and said, "Okay, mom. Okay, Lily. Okay, Ben." + +They decided to play with the truck and the doll together. They took turns and made up stories. They had a lot of fun and forgot about their fight. They were happy and friends again. +Lila and Sam love to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. Lila likes the blue car the most. It is shiny and fast. Sam likes the red car the most. It is loud and strong. + +One day, they decide to have a race with their cars. They make a track with their blocks and books. They put a finish line with a ribbon. They are very enthusiastic. They want to see who is the best. + +"Are you ready?" Lila asks Sam. + +"Yes, I am ready!" Sam answers. + +"Three, two, one, go!" Lila shouts. + +They push their cars along the track. The cars zoom past the blocks and books. They make vroom-vroom noises. Lila and Sam cheer for their cars. + +"Go, blue car, go!" Lila says. + +"Go, red car, go!" Sam says. + +The cars are very close. They reach the finish line at the same time. Lila and Sam look at each other. They are surprised. + +"Wow, it is a tie!" Lila says. + +"That was a fun race!" Sam says. + +They smile and hug. They are happy. They share their cars and play some more. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were making a picture with paper and glue. They had many colors of paper and a big bottle of glue. Lily wanted to make a flower and Ben wanted to make a car. + +"Pass me the red paper, please," Lily said to Ben. She needed red paper for her flower. + +"Wait a minute, I need it too," Ben said. He wanted red paper for his car. + +"But I asked first," Lily said. She was impatient. She did not like to wait. + +"No, I need it more," Ben said. He was impatient too. He did not like to share. + +They both reached for the red paper and pulled hard. The paper ripped in half. They both dropped their pieces and looked at each other. They were angry and sad. + +Then they heard a loud pop. The bottle of glue had fallen off the table and burst open. Glue was everywhere. On the floor, on the table, on their clothes, on their faces. + +They both gasped and stared at the mess. Then they started to laugh. They looked funny with glue on them. They forgot about the red paper and the picture. They helped each other clean up the glue. They were not angry and sad anymore. They were friends again. +Lily and Ben were playing with marbles on the floor. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them, count them, and make patterns with them. + +"Look, I have a big blue marble and a small red marble," Lily said, showing Ben her marbles. "They are pretty." + +"I have a big green marble and a small yellow marble," Ben said, showing Lily his marbles. "They are pretty too." + +They smiled at each other and rolled their marbles on the floor. They made a game of trying to hit each other's marbles with their own. + +"Oops, I missed!" Lily said, as her blue marble rolled away. + +"Me too!" Ben said, as his green marble rolled away. + +They got up and ran after their marbles. They found them under the sofa. They also found a shiny silver marble that they had never seen before. + +"Wow, look at this marble!" Lily said, picking up the silver marble. "It is so shiny and smooth. I wonder who it belongs to." + +"Maybe it is a magic marble," Ben said, looking at the silver marble. "Maybe it can do things that other marbles can't." + +"Like what?" Lily asked, curious. + +"I don't know. Maybe it can make wishes come true. Or maybe it can talk. Or maybe it can fly. What do you think?" Ben asked, holding the silver marble in his hand. + +Lily thought for a moment. She was feeling sleepy. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. + +"I think it is a nice marble. But I think it is just a marble. And I think we should put it back where we found it. And I think we should go to bed. I am very sleepy. Aren't you?" Lily said, giving the silver marble to Ben. + +Ben nodded. He was also feeling sleepy. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. + +"I think you are right. It is a nice marble. But it is just a marble. And we should put it back where we found it. And we should go to bed. I am very sleepy too. Come on, let's go." Ben said, putting the silver marble back under the sofa. + +They put their marbles in a box and put the box on the shelf. They said good night to each other and went to their rooms. They snuggled in their beds and fell asleep. They dreamed of marbles. +Lily and Tom were bored. They wanted to play something fun. They looked around the house, but they could not find anything new. They decided to go outside and wander in the garden. + +They saw many flowers, bugs, and birds. They smelled the fresh air and felt the sun on their skin. They ran and jumped and laughed. They had a good time. + +Then, they saw something shiny under a big bush. They went closer and pulled it out. It was a small box with a lock. They wondered what was inside. Maybe it was a treasure! + +They tried to open the box, but it was too hard. They needed a key. They looked around, but they could not find one. They felt sad. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" They heard a voice behind them. It was Grandpa. He was bald and had a big smile. He came to visit them. + +"Grandpa, look, we found a box!" Lily said. "But we can't open it. We need a key. Do you have one?" + +Grandpa looked at the box and smiled. He reached into his pocket and took out a small key. He gave it to Tom. + +"This is a special box," Grandpa said. "It was my father's. He gave it to me when I was your age. And now I give it to you. It has a treasure inside. Do you want to see it?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Tom said. They used the key to open the box. Inside, they saw a shiny medal, a photo, and a letter. + +Grandpa told them the story of the medal, the photo, and the letter. They were from the war, when Grandpa's father was a hero. He saved many people and got hurt. He wrote the letter to Grandpa, telling him how much he loved him and missed him. + +Lily and Tom listened to Grandpa with big eyes. They felt happy and proud. They hugged Grandpa and thanked him for the treasure. They said they would keep it safe and always remember it. + +Grandpa hugged them back and kissed them. He said he loved them and was proud of them. He said they were his treasure. They smiled and said they loved him too. They put the box back under the bush, where it was hidden and safe. They went inside to have some cookies and milk. They had a great day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers. They see red roses, yellow roses, and pink roses. They smell the roses. They are sweet. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily says. "This rose is very big. It has many petals. Can I pick it?" + +"No, Lily," Ben says. "Mommy says we should not pick the roses. They are good for the bees and the birds. They need the roses." + +Lily is sad. She wants the rose. She thinks it is pretty. She sees a bench near the roses. She has an idea. + +"Let's sit on the bench, Ben," Lily says. "We can see the roses better. Maybe we can touch them gently." + +Ben agrees. He likes the bench. It is old and wooden. It has a cushion. He and Lily sit on the bench. They are happy. They watch the roses. They see a bee and a bird. They hear them buzz and sing. + +Lily reaches out her hand. She touches a rose. It is soft and smooth. She smiles. She does not pick the rose. She knows it is good for the bee and the bird. She and Ben enjoy the rose. They are good friends. +Anna likes to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes books with pictures and stories. She likes to learn new things from books. + +One day, Anna finds a different book in her room. It is very big and old. It has no pictures, only words. Anna is curious. She opens the book and tries to read the words. But the words are hard and strange. She does not understand them. + +She asks her mom, "Mom, what is this book? Where did it come from?" + +Her mom says, "This is a special book, Anna. It is a book of magic. It belonged to your grandma. She gave it to me when I was a little girl. She said it has secrets and spells inside." + +Anna is amazed. She wants to know more. She says, "Can you read it to me, mom? Can you show me the magic?" + +Her mom smiles. She says, "Maybe later, Anna. This book is very old and fragile. We have to be careful with it. We cannot bend it or tear it or spill anything on it. We have to keep it dry and safe." + +Anna nods. She understands. She puts the book on her shelf. She says, "I will wait, mom. I will be gentle with the book. I want to see the magic someday." + +But that night, something bad happens. It rains a lot. The rain is loud and strong. It makes holes in the roof. The water drips into Anna's room. It drips on her bed, on her toys, on her books. It drips on the magic book. + +Anna wakes up. She hears the rain and the water. She sees the wet things. She is scared and sad. She runs to her mom. She says, "Mom, mom, help! The rain is soaking everything! It is soaking the magic book!" + +Her mom hugs her. She says, "Don't worry, Anna. We will fix the roof. We will dry the things. We will save the book. Maybe the magic is still inside. Maybe the book is stronger than the rain. We will find out together." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big box in the corner. It is a chest. They open it and see many things inside. There are books, clothes, dolls, cars, and a shiny sword. + +"Wow, look at this sword!" Ben says. He takes it out and swings it in the air. "I am a brave knight. I can fight dragons and monsters." + +Anna smiles. She likes the sword too. She wants to play with it. She asks Ben, "Can I have a turn with the sword, please?" + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to share. He says, "No, it is mine. I found it first. You can play with the dolls." + +Anna feels sad. She does not like dolls. She likes swords. She says, "That is not fair. We are twins. We should share. Please, let me have a turn with the sword." + +Ben repeats, "No, it is mine. I found it first. You can play with the dolls." He holds the sword tight and turns away from Anna. + +Anna is angry. She does not like Ben. She thinks he is mean. She says, "Fine, I don't want to play with you. You are a bad brother. You are not brave. You are selfish." + +She walks away from Ben and the chest. She goes to the window and looks outside. She sees a big tree in the yard. She has an idea. She says, "I know what I will do. I will climb the tree. I will be brave. I don't need a sword. I have my hands and feet." + +She runs out of the room and down the stairs. She goes to the yard and to the tree. She starts to climb. She feels happy. She likes the tree. She likes to be brave. She says, "Look at me, Ben. I am climbing the tree. I am brave. I don't need a sword. I have my hands and feet." +Sara and Tom were very happy. They were going to the festival with their mom and dad. The festival had many fun things. There were balloons, clowns, games, and music. Sara and Tom wanted to see everything. + +But when they got to the festival, they saw a big sign. The sign said: "Please be quiet. Do not disturb the animals." The festival was next to a farm. The farm had many animals. There were cows, sheep, pigs, and horses. Sara and Tom liked animals. They wanted to see them too. + +They asked their mom and dad if they could go to the farm. Their mom and dad said yes, but they had to be very quiet. They did not want to scare the animals. Sara and Tom nodded. They followed their mom and dad to the farm. + +But when they got to the farm, they forgot to be quiet. They saw a big cow. They ran to the cow and shouted: "Moo! Moo! Moo!" The cow was scared. It kicked the fence and made a loud noise. The other animals were scared too. They ran away and made more noise. + +The farmer heard the noise. He came out of his house. He was angry. He shouted at Sara and Tom: "What are you doing? You are disturbing the animals! Go away! Go back to the festival!" Sara and Tom were scared. They ran back to their mom and dad. They were ashamed. They said sorry to the farmer. They said sorry to their mom and dad. They said sorry to the animals. + +Their mom and dad hugged them. They said: "It's okay. You made a mistake. But you learned your lesson. Next time, you will be quiet and respectful. Now, let's go and enjoy the festival." Sara and Tom nodded. They smiled. They went to the festival and had fun. They did not disturb anyone. They were happy. +Anna likes to run in the park with her dog, Max. Max is a big, brown dog who likes to chase birds and balls. Anna has a pink comb that she uses to make her hair look pretty. She always puts her comb in her pocket when she goes to the park. + +One day, Anna and Max met a new friend in the park. His name was Ben and he had a white cat, Luna. Luna was a small, fluffy cat who liked to sit on Ben's lap. Ben had a blue comb that he used to make Luna's fur look smooth. He always held his comb in his hand when he went to the park. + +"Hi, I'm Anna and this is Max," Anna said to Ben. "Do you want to play with us?" + +"Hi, I'm Ben and this is Luna," Ben said to Anna. "I can't play with you. I'm deaf. I can't hear you." + +Anna felt sad. She wanted to be friends with Ben and Luna. She thought of a way to make them happy. She took out her pink comb and gave it to Ben. She pointed to Luna and smiled. + +"Thank you," Ben said to Anna. He understood what she meant. He took the pink comb and used it to make Luna's fur look pretty. Luna purred and rubbed her head against Ben's cheek. + +Anna was happy. She saw that Ben and Luna liked her gift. She took the blue comb from Ben and used it to make Max's fur look smooth. Max wagged his tail and licked Anna's face. + +Ben was happy. He saw that Anna and Max liked his gift. He waved his hand and smiled. + +Anna and Ben became friends. They didn't need words to play together. They had their combs and their pets. They liked to run in the park and make each other happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with cubes. They liked to build towers and bridges with them. They had many cubes of different colors and sizes. + +"Look, I made a tall tower!" Ben said, showing his work to Lily. He had stacked many small cubes on top of each other. + +"Wow, that's very good, Ben!" Lily said. She wanted to make a tower too, but she only had big cubes. She tried to put them together, but they kept falling down. She felt sad. + +"Can you help me, Ben?" she asked. "I can't make a tower with my cubes. They are too big and heavy." + +"Sure, I can help you, Lily," Ben said. He was a kind friend. He thought of a way to support Lily's cubes. He took some of his small cubes and put them under and between Lily's big cubes. He made a base and a frame for them. + +"There, now your cubes are stable and strong," he said. "You can make a tower with them. See, they don't fall down anymore." + +"Thank you, Ben!" Lily said. She was happy. She added more big cubes to her tower, making it taller and taller. She used some of Ben's small cubes to decorate it. + +"You're welcome, Lily," Ben said. He was proud of their work. "Your cubes are very useful. They make our towers look amazing." + +They smiled at each other and continued to play with their cubes. They had fun and learned how to support each other. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. But they have a problem. Lily is rich and Ben is not. Lily has many toys and Ben has few. Lily wants to play with her toys and Ben wants to play with his toys. + +One Wednesday, they decide to play at Lily's house. Lily shows Ben her toys. She has dolls, cars, blocks, books, and more. Ben likes her toys, but he feels sad. He wishes he had more toys too. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asks Lily. + +"No, this is my doll. You can play with the car," Lily says. + +"But I don't like cars. I like dolls," Ben says. + +"Well, I don't like cars either. But they are for boys, not for girls. You are a boy, so you should play with cars," Lily says. + +Ben feels angry. He thinks Lily is not nice. He thinks Lily is selfish. He does not want to play with her anymore. + +"I don't want to play with you. You are not a good friend. You don't share your toys. You don't care about me. I'm going home," Ben says. + +He picks up his coat and runs out of the door. Lily feels surprised. She does not understand why Ben is mad. She thinks he is silly. She thinks he is rude. She does not want to play with him anymore. + +She picks up her doll and hugs it. She thinks she does not need Ben. She thinks she has everything she wants. She thinks she is happy. But she is not. She is lonely. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a red dress and long hair. Lily took Anna everywhere with her. + +One day, Lily got an invitation from her friend Ben. Ben wanted Lily to come to his house for a tea party. Lily was happy. She wanted to go to the tea party and see Ben. She asked her mom if she could go. Her mom said yes. + +Lily packed her bag with some cookies and a cup. She also wanted to bring Anna. But when she looked for Anna, she could not find her. She searched her room, but Anna was not there. She asked her mom, but her mom did not know. She asked her brother, but he said he did not see Anna. + +Lily was sad. She did not want to go to the tea party without Anna. She wondered who took her doll. She thought maybe someone borrowed her doll without asking. She did not like that. She wanted her doll back. + +She decided to look for Anna in the garden. She put on her shoes and went outside. She walked around the flowers and the trees. She saw a bird, a cat, and a butterfly. But she did not see Anna. + +Then she heard a giggle. She followed the sound and saw a little girl sitting on a swing. The girl had Anna in her arms. She was wearing a red dress and long hair, just like Anna. She looked like Anna's sister. + +Lily recognized the girl. She was Rose, her neighbor. Lily walked up to Rose and said hello. Rose smiled and said hello back. She said she liked Lily's doll. She said she borrowed Anna for a little while. She said she wanted to play with Anna and have a tea party with her. + +Lily felt angry. She did not like that Rose borrowed Anna without asking. She wanted Anna back. She said Anna was her doll and she needed her for her own tea party. She said Rose should give Anna back. + +Rose looked sad. She said she was sorry. She said she did not mean to make Lily angry. She said she did not have any dolls of her own. She said she liked Anna and wanted to be her friend. + +Lily felt sorry for Rose. She remembered how much she liked to play with her dolls. She thought maybe Rose was lonely and wanted a friend too. She said she was sorry too. She said she did not mean to be mean. She said she liked Rose and wanted to be her friend too. + +She had an idea. She asked Rose if she wanted to come to Ben's tea party with her. She said they could both bring Anna and share her. She said they could have fun and meet Ben and his toys. + +Rose liked the idea. She said yes. She said thank you. She said she was happy. She gave Anna back to Lily and hugged her. + +Lily hugged her back. She said you're welcome. She said she was happy too. She took Anna and Rose by the hand and walked to Ben's house. They had a wonderful tea party and made new friends. They learned to share and to ask before they borrow. They also learned that red dresses and long hair are not the only things that make sisters. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, slide and swing. They also liked to look at the big map of the park that was on a board. The map showed them where the animals, the flowers and the pond were. + +"Look, Ben, there is a duck pond over there. Let's go and see the ducks!" Sara said, pointing at the map. + +"Okay, Sara, let's go!" Ben said, following his sister. + +They ran across the grass, holding hands. They saw the pond with the blue water and the green reeds. They also saw some ducks swimming and quacking. + +"Wow, they are so cute!" Sara said, clapping her hands. + +"Can we feed them, mom?" Ben asked, looking at their mom. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water or the ducks. They might bite you or splash you," mom said, giving them some bread crumbs. + +Sara and Ben threw some bread crumbs to the ducks. The ducks came closer and ate the bread. They made funny noises and wiggled their tails. + +Sara and Ben laughed and watched the ducks. They were having fun. + +But then, they heard a loud roar. It sounded like a big animal. They turned around and saw a lion. It had escaped from the zoo. It was looking at them with its yellow eyes and sharp teeth. + +Sara and Ben were frightened. They screamed and ran back to their mom. Mom was also frightened. She grabbed them and hugged them tight. + +"Mom, mom, there is a lion! It is scary!" Sara cried. + +"Mom, mom, what do we do? It is coming!" Ben cried. + +Mom looked at the lion. She saw that it had a collar and a tag. It was not a wild lion. It was a lost lion. + +"Shh, shh, don't worry, my loves. It is not a bad lion. It is a lost lion. It is looking for its home. We have to help it," mom said, trying to calm them. + +She took out her phone and called the zoo. She told them that there was a lion in the park. She asked them to come and get it. + +Soon, a big truck came. It had a cage and some people. They were the zookeepers. They knew the lion. They called it Leo. They said that Leo was a friendly lion. He had run away from the zoo because he was bored. He wanted to see the park. + +They gave Leo some meat and some water. They talked to him and petted him. They put him in the cage and thanked mom for calling them. + +"Bye, Leo. We are sorry you were lost. We hope you are happy in the zoo," mom said, waving at the lion. + +"Bye, Leo. You are not scary. You are nice," Sara said, smiling at the lion. + +"Bye, Leo. You have a big roar. You are cool," Ben said, giving a thumbs up to the lion. + +Leo looked at them and roared. He was not angry. He was happy. He had made some new friends. + +Sara and Ben hugged their mom. They were not frightened anymore. They were brave. + +They went back to the map and looked at it. They saw that there was a zoo on the map. They decided to go there next time. They wanted to see Leo again. They wanted to give him a hug. +Sam liked to play with his toy car. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise. He pushed it on the floor and watched it zoom around. He was happy. + +But one day, his toy car stopped making noise. It moved very slowly and then stopped. Sam was sad. He tried to push it harder, but it did not help. He looked at his toy car and saw a little door on the bottom. He opened it and saw two round things inside. They were batteries. + +Sam remembered that his dad had some batteries in a drawer. He ran to the drawer and found two new batteries. He took them and ran back to his toy car. He took out the old batteries and put in the new ones. He closed the door and pushed the car. It made a loud noise again and zoomed around. Sam was happy again. + +But his dad was not happy. He was grumpy. He had been working on his laptop, but it had turned off. He looked at his laptop and saw a message. It said: "Low battery. Please plug in." He looked for his charger, but he could not find it. He looked in the drawer, but it was empty. He saw Sam playing with his toy car and heard the loud noise. He realized what had happened. + +He went to Sam and said: "Sam, did you take my batteries?" Sam nodded and said: "Yes, dad. I needed them for my car. Look, it works now!" He showed his dad his toy car. His dad sighed and said: "Sam, I'm glad your car works, but you should not take things without asking. Those batteries were for my laptop. Now I can't work. You need to improve your manners." + +Sam felt sorry. He did not mean to make his dad grumpy. He said: "I'm sorry, dad. I didn't know. Can I give you back your batteries?" His dad smiled and said: "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. But next time, please ask me first. And you can keep the batteries for your car. I have some more in the closet. Let's go get them and plug in my laptop. Then we can play with your car together." + +Sam smiled and said: "Okay, dad. Thank you. I love you." He hugged his dad and they went to the closet. They found the charger and the batteries and plugged in the laptop. Then they played with the toy car together. They were happy. +Lily likes to draw with her crayons. She has many colors and many papers. She draws flowers and stars and houses and people. She is very happy when she draws. + +One day, she finds a new paper in her drawer. It is very smooth and shiny. It is not like her other papers. She thinks it is very pretty. She wants to draw on it. She takes her crayons and goes to the table. + +She starts to draw a big sun on the smooth paper. But the crayon does not make a mark. She tries another color. It does not work either. She rubs the crayon harder. The smooth paper tears. Lily is sad. She does not understand why the paper does not let her draw. + +She goes to her mom and shows her the smooth paper. She says, "Mom, why can't I draw on this paper? It is very pretty, but it does not work." + +Her mom looks at the paper and smiles. She says, "Lily, this is not a paper for drawing. This is a paper for wrapping. You use it to make a gift look nice. See, it has a sticker on it. It says 'Happy Birthday'." + +Lily looks at the sticker. She remembers that tomorrow is her dad's birthday. She has a gift for him. She nods. She says, "Oh, I see. This is a paper for wrapping. Can I use it to wrap my gift for dad?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, you can. That is a good idea. Let me help you. We can make a bow with this ribbon. Then we can hide the gift until tomorrow. I think dad will love it." + +Lily is happy again. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love dad. I love drawing. And I love wrapping." +Lily was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She did not like to ask for help or listen to her mom and dad. She thought they were boring and always told her what to do. One day, she wanted to make a cake for her teddy bear's birthday. She found a recipe book in the kitchen and looked at the pictures. She thought she could manage to make a cake without any help. + +She got a big bowl and a spoon and started to mix some things she found in the cupboards. She did not measure anything or follow the recipe. She just added what she liked. She put some flour, sugar, eggs, milk, chocolate, cheese, ketchup, and salt in the bowl. She stirred and stirred until it was a big mess. She poured it into a cake pan and put it in the oven. She did not set the timer or check the temperature. She just waited for the cake to be done. + +She did not notice the smoke coming out of the oven or the smell of burning. She did not hear her mom and dad coming home or knocking on the door. She was too busy setting the table and putting candles on the cake. She was very proud of herself and thought her teddy bear would love the cake. She took it out of the oven and put it on a plate. It was black and hard and smelled bad. She tried to cut a slice but it was too tough. She tried to taste a bit but it was too yucky. She spit it out and made a face. She realized she had made a big mistake. She had not made a cake, she had made a disaster. + +She started to cry and ran to her room. She hugged her teddy bear and said she was sorry. She wished she had asked for help or listened to her mom and dad. She learned that doing things by herself was not always fun or easy. She learned that sometimes she needed to follow the rules and the instructions. She learned that her mom and dad were not boring, they were smart and caring. She hoped they would forgive her and help her make a real cake for her teddy bear's birthday. She hoped they would not be too mad at her for making a mess and wasting food. She hoped they would still love her and her teddy bear. + +The moral value of the story is that it is important to ask for help and listen to others when doing something new or difficult. The narrative uses foreshadowing or setup and payoff by showing how Lily's attitude and actions lead to her failure and regret. The words manage, yet, and boring are used in the story in simple ways that a 3 year old child would understand. +Lily and Ben are friends. They go to the same class. They like to play and learn together. One day, they have a special lesson. They go to the park with their teacher and see many animals. + +"Look, Lily, a big bird!" Ben says. He points to a swan on the pond. "It has a long neck and white feathers." + +Lily gazes at the swan. She thinks it is beautiful. She sees something else. "And look, Ben, a baby bird!" She says. She points to a cygnet next to the swan. "It has a short neck and gray feathers." + +Ben gazes at the cygnet. He thinks it is cute. He sees something else. "And look, Lily, a fish!" He says. He points to a carp in the water. "It has scales and fins." + +Lily and Ben gaze at the fish. They think it is shiny. They see many other things in the park. They see flowers, trees, bugs, and squirrels. They have fun and learn a lot. + +When they go back to the class, they tell their teacher what they saw. Their teacher is happy. She gives them a sweet treat. Lily and Ben share the treat. They are happy too. They say thank you to their teacher and hug each other. They are good friends. +Lily liked to play with her laser. It was a toy that made a red light. She could point it at things and make them look red. She had a lot of fun with it. + +One day, she wanted to complete a puzzle. It was a big puzzle with many pieces. She had to find the right pieces and put them together. She worked hard and did not give up. + +She was almost done with the puzzle. She only needed one more piece. She looked around and saw it on the floor. It was a pale piece with a star on it. She reached for it, but then she saw something else. + +It was her laser. It was on the floor too. It was shining its red light on the wall. Lily thought it looked pretty. She wanted to play with it. She forgot about the puzzle. + +She picked up the laser and pointed it at the wall. She moved it around and made shapes with the light. She smiled and laughed. She liked her laser. + +She did not complete the puzzle. She did not care. She was happy with her laser. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, but they are also very noisy. They shout and laugh and make sounds with their mouths. + +"Vroom, vroom, vroom!" Ben says, as he moves his car on the floor. + +"Hello, I am your friend!" Lily says, as she makes her doll talk. + +Their mom is in the kitchen, making lunch. She hears them and smiles. She is happy that they are playing together, but she also wants them to be quiet. + +"Lily, Ben, can you please play a little quieter?" she asks. "I need to concentrate on the food." + +"OK, mom, we will try," Lily and Ben say. But they soon forget and start being noisy again. + +Mom sighs and goes back to the kitchen. She hopes they will calm down soon. + +Suddenly, Lily and Ben hear a loud snap. They look around and see a feather on the floor. It is white and fluffy and soft. They wonder where it came from. + +"Look, a feather!" Lily says, picking it up. + +"Maybe it is from a bird," Ben says, touching it. + +They look up and see a hole in the ceiling. They see a beak and two eyes peeking through. It is a bird. It is stuck in the hole. It is scared and tries to get out. + +"Help, help!" the bird says. + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They have never heard a bird talk before. + +"Who are you?" Lily asks. + +"I am Polly, the parrot," the bird says. "I was flying in the attic and I fell through the hole. Can you help me?" + +Lily and Ben want to help Polly. They get a chair and a broom. They stand on the chair and use the broom to push Polly out of the hole. Polly flaps her wings and flies out. She lands on the couch and thanks them. + +"Thank you, thank you, you are very kind," Polly says. + +"You are welcome, Polly," Lily and Ben say. "We are sorry you got hurt." + +"It is OK, it is just a feather," Polly says. "But you are very noisy. You should be quiet sometimes. It is good for your ears and your brain." + +Lily and Ben look at each other and nod. They realize that Polly is right. They decide to play quieter from now on. They invite Polly to play with them. They share their toys and have fun. They are still happy, but they are also quiet. + +Mom hears them and smiles. She is glad that they have a new friend and that they are quiet. She finishes the lunch and calls them. + +"Lily, Ben, Polly, lunch is ready!" she says. + +They run to the kitchen and sit at the table. They enjoy the food and talk to Polly. They tell mom about their adventure and how they helped Polly. Mom listens and praises them. + +"You are very brave and nice," she says. "I am proud of you." + +They hug mom and thank her. They are happy and quiet. They have learned a lesson. They have a new friend. They have a feather. +Bella was a grumpy cat. She did not like to play with other animals. She liked to sleep on the sofa all day. Sometimes, she would strike her paw at anyone who came near her. + +One day, a new dog came to live in the house. His name was Max. He was very friendly and curious. He wanted to play with Bella. He ran up to her and wagged his tail. + +"Hi, I'm Max. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +Bella did not want to play with him. She hissed and struck her paw at him. "Go away! Leave me alone!" she said. + +Max was sad and confused. He did not understand why Bella was so grumpy. He thought she was mean. He went to find another toy. + +The next day, Max found a ball in the yard. He picked it up with his mouth and threw it in the air. He had fun chasing the ball. He did not see Bella watching him from the window. + +Bella saw the ball and felt a strange feeling. She wanted to play with the ball too. She wondered if Max would let her. She decided to try. + +She jumped off the window and ran to the yard. She reached the ball before Max and grabbed it with her paw. She looked at Max and meowed. + +"Hi, I'm Bella. Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +Max was surprised and happy. He did not expect Bella to be nice. He wagged his tail and barked. + +"Yes, I do! Let's play together!" he said. + +Bella and Max played with the ball for a long time. They had fun and became friends. Bella was not grumpy anymore. She learned to share and be kind.
