+"Here, you can have this one. I found it on the street. It is old and dirty, but it is yellow," he says.
+
+He gives the block to Tom and Sue. They are very happy. They thank the old man. They put the block on the roof. They finish their house.
+

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big parade. There are many people and flags and drums. They hear loud music and cheers. Lily and Ben want to join the parade.
+
+They run to the parade and follow the people. They march and clap and sing. They see a man with a big hat and a shiny badge. He is the leader of the parade. He smiles and waves at them. He gives them each a flag to hold. Lily and Ben are happy.
+
+But the parade is very long. They walk and walk and walk. They get tired and thirsty and hungry. They also get dirty. Their shoes are muddy, their clothes are dusty and their faces are sweaty. They want to go home.
+
+They look for their mom and dad. They are not in the parade. They are on the side of the road. They are waiting for Lily and Ben. They see them and call their names. Lily and Ben run to them. They hug and kiss them.
+
+Mom and Dad give them water and snacks. They also give them wet wipes and clean clothes. They help them change and clean up. Lily and Ben feel better. They thank the man with the big hat and the shiny badge. They say goodbye to the parade. They go home with Mom and Dad. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It was white and had a big net.
+
+"What is that boat doing?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are fishing," Ben said.
+
+They were nosy. They wanted to see what the boat had in the net. They ran closer to the water. They saw something big and gray in the net. It had a tail and a fin. It was a whale.
+
+"Oh no! They caught a whale!" Lily cried.
+
+"That's not nice. Whales are good. They should let it go," Ben said.
+
+They shouted at the boat. "Let the whale go! Let the whale go!"
+
+But the boat did not hear them. It started to move away. The whale was still in the net. It looked sad and scared.
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They wished they could help the whale. They regretted being nosy. They should have stayed away from the boat.
+
+They went back to their mom and dad. They told them what they saw. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry.
+
+"Sometimes people do bad things to animals. But there are also good people who try to protect them. Maybe someone will save the whale," their mom said.
+
+"Can we do something to help the whales?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, we can. We can learn more about them and why they are important. We can tell others to be kind to them. We can join groups that care for them," their dad said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to be good to the whales. They hoped the whale in the net would be free soon. They prayed for the whale. They never forgot the whale.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hole in the ground. It looked dark and deep.
+
+"Let's open it and see what's inside," Ben said. He was curious and brave.
+
+"No, Ben, don't do that. It's dangerous. Mommy said we should not go near holes in the ground. They can have bugs or snakes or rats," Lily said. She was careful and scared.
+
+But Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the hole and kicked the dirt around it. He wanted to open it more and more. He did not see the sign that said "Warning: Gas Pipe".
+
+Suddenly, there was a loud boom. The hole exploded and fire came out. Ben screamed and fell down. He was hurt and burned. Lily cried and ran to him. She called for help.
+
+But it was too late. Ben was gone. The hole had taken him away. Lily was sad and alone. She wished she had stopped him. She wished he had listened to her. She wished they had played somewhere else. The hole was crazy and bad. It had ruined their fun and their lives.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big skull in the grass. It is white and hard. It has no eyes, nose or mouth.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. "It is a skull. Maybe it is from a dinosaur or a monster."
+
+"Can we eat it?" Sam asks. He is hungry. He likes to eat everything.
+
+"No, we can't eat it. It is empty. There is nothing inside. It is not good for us." Tim says. He is smart. He knows a lot of things.
+
+"Then what can we do with it?" Sam asks. He is bored. He wants to have fun.
+
+"We can use it as a hat. Or a bowl. Or a drum. Or a toy. There are many things we can do with it." Tim says. He is creative. He has many ideas.
+
+They take the skull and try different things. They put it on their heads and pretend to be pirates. They fill it with water and flowers and make a vase. They hit it with sticks and make music. They roll it on the ground and chase it. They have a lot of fun with the skull. They forget they are hungry. They are happy.
+Sara liked to play with magnets. She had many magnets of different shapes and colors. She liked to stick them on the fridge and make pictures. She also liked to see how they pulled or pushed each other.
+
+One day, Sara found a new magnet in her toy box. It was round and shiny and had a hole in the middle. She wondered what it could do. She took it to the fridge and tried to stick it, but it did not work. She tried to stick it to other magnets, but it did not work either. She was puzzled.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, why does this magnet not stick?" Her mom smiled and said, "That is a special magnet, Sara. It is called a ring magnet. It only sticks to metal things that can go through the hole. Do you want to learn how it works?"
+
+Sara nodded eagerly. Her mom took her to the garage and showed her some metal things, like nails, screws, and washers. She said, "These are metal things that can go through the hole. Watch what happens when you put the ring magnet near them." Sara did as her mom said and was amazed. The metal things jumped to the ring magnet and hung from it like a necklace. She could make different patterns and shapes with them. She had fun playing with the ring magnet and the metal things.
+
+Sara learned something new that day. She learned how a ring magnet works and what it can do. She also learned that there are many different kinds of magnets and metal things. She felt smart and happy. She thanked her mom for teaching her and gave her a hug. She said, "Mom, I love magnets. They are so cool!" Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you, Sara. You are so smart!"
+Sara liked to sing and dance. She learned many songs and dances from her mom and dad. They said she was very good and they were proud of her.
+
+One day, Sara's mom and dad took her to a big place with many seats and a big stage. They said it was a theater and they had a surprise for her. Sara was very excited and curious.
+
+When they got to the theater, they found their seats and waited. Sara saw many people around her. They looked happy and friendly. Then, the lights went down and the stage lit up. Sara heard music and saw people in colorful costumes. They were singing and dancing too. They were doing a show.
+
+Sara watched the show with big eyes and a big smile. She liked the songs and the dances. She liked the stories and the jokes. She liked the people and the costumes. She thought they were very good and she was happy for them.
+
+When the show was over, the people on the stage bowed and smiled. Sara saw everyone around her clap their hands and make loud noises. They were saying "bravo" and "encore". They were applauding. They liked the show too.
+
+Sara's mom and dad also clapped their hands and made loud noises. They looked at Sara and asked her if she liked the show. Sara nodded and said "yes". She also clapped her hands and made loud noises. She wanted to applaud too. She liked the show very much.
+
+Sara's mom and dad hugged her and said they were glad she liked the show. They said it was a special treat for her. They said she was not an ordinary girl. She was a special girl. They said they loved her very much.
+
+Sara felt warm and happy. She hugged them back and said she loved them too. She said they were not ordinary mom and dad. They were special mom and dad. She said they were the best.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower!" Lily said, showing Tom her creation. "It is taller than me!"
+
+"Wow, that is a good tower!" Tom said. "But I can make a better one!" He started to pile up blocks on his side of the room.
+
+Lily and Tom worked hard on their towers. They wanted to see who could make the highest one. They did not notice that their mom was calling them for lunch.
+
+"Snap!" Lily heard a loud noise. She turned around and saw that Tom's tower had fallen down. The blocks had hit the lamp and broke it. The lamp made sparks and smoke. Lily was scared.
+
+"Tom, what did you do?" Lily cried. "The lamp is broken! Mom will be mad!"
+
+Tom was scared too. He did not mean to break the lamp. He tried to pick up the blocks, but it was too late. The sparks had set the curtain on fire. The fire was big and hot and orange. It made a scary sound.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily and Tom shouted. They ran to the door, but it was locked. They did not know how to open it. They banged on the door and screamed for mom.
+
+Mom heard their screams and ran to their room. She saw the fire and smelled the smoke. She grabbed the key and opened the door. She pulled Lily and Tom out of the room. She was very angry and sad.
+
+"Lily and Tom, what have you done?" Mom yelled. "You have started a fire in your room! You have ruined the lamp and the curtain and the blocks! You could have been hurt or worse! You are in big trouble!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt very bad. They had made a big mess and a big danger. They had made mom unhappy. They wished they had listened to her and gone for lunch. They wished they had not played with the blocks. They wished they had not snapped the lamp. They were sorry, but it was too late. The end.
+Tommy and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big black beetle crawling on a leaf. Tommy wanted to catch it and put it in a jar.
+
+"Look, Lily, a beetle! Let's catch it!" Tommy said.
+
+He ran to the leaf and tried to grab the beetle. But the beetle was fast and flew away. Tommy was sad and angry.
+
+"Hey, come back, beetle! You are mine!" Tommy shouted.
+
+Lily followed Tommy and saw the beetle flying to another leaf. She recognized the beetle. She had seen it in a book. She knew it was a special beetle.
+
+"Tommy, stop! That is not a normal beetle. That is a ladybug!" Lily said.
+
+"A ladybug? What is that?" Tommy asked.
+
+"A ladybug is a good bug. It helps the plants and eats the bad bugs. It has red wings and black spots. It is not a beetle. It is a ladybug!" Lily explained.
+
+Tommy looked at the ladybug. He saw the red wings and the black spots. He was confused. He thought all beetles were black and shiny.
+
+"Are you sure, Lily? It looks like a beetle to me," Tommy said.
+
+"Yes, I am sure, Tommy. Look at the book. It shows the ladybug and the beetle. They are different. The ladybug is friendly and the beetle is mean," Lily said.
+
+She showed Tommy the book. Tommy saw the pictures of the ladybug and the beetle. He saw the difference. He felt sorry for chasing the ladybug.
+
+"Sorry, ladybug. I did not know you were a good bug. I will not catch you. You can fly and be happy," Tommy said.
+
+He let the ladybug go. The ladybug flew away and landed on a flower. It smiled at Tommy and Lily.
+
+Tommy and Lily smiled back. They learned something new. They learned to recognize the ladybug and the beetle. They learned to be kind to the good bugs and not to bother them.
+
+The moral value of the story is: respect the living things and learn from them.
+Tom and Mia had a big wagon. They liked to pull it around the yard and fill it with toys and flowers. One day, they saw a sign that said "Parade". They wanted to join the parade and celebrate.
+
+They asked Mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but they had to be brave and careful. There were many cars and people on the road. Mom gave them a flag and a horn to decorate their wagon. She also gave them a snack and a drink.
+
+Tom and Mia put on their hats and sunglasses. They pulled their wagon to the street. They saw many other wagons and bikes and scooters. They also saw clowns and balloons and music. They waved their flag and honked their horn. They had fun and made new friends.
+
+Mom watched them from the sidewalk. She was proud of them. They were brave and happy. They celebrated with the parade. They had a great day.
+Lily loved to look at tiny things with her microscope. She got it as a gift from her dad, who was a scientist. He taught her how to use it and how to be careful with it. Lily owned the microscope and she was very proud of it.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to show her microscope to her friend Max, who came over to play. She took him to her room and put the microscope on the table. "Look, Max, this is my microscope. It can make small things look big. Do you want to try it?" she asked.
+
+Max nodded and smiled. He was curious about the microscope. He picked it up and looked through the eyepiece. He saw a colorful pattern of dots and lines. "Wow, this is cool! What is this?" he asked.
+
+Lily explained, "That is a slide of a butterfly wing. My dad gave it to me. He has many slides of different things, like flowers, bugs, and hair. You can change the slides and see different things."
+
+Max was amazed. He wanted to see more slides. He reached for the box where Lily kept them. But Lily stopped him. "No, Max, you can't touch those. They are very fragile and precious. You have to ask me first and be gentle with them. They are not toys. They are for learning and exploring."
+
+Max felt a little sad and angry. He wanted to play with the slides and see what they looked like. He didn't like Lily's rules. He thought she was bossy and mean. He said, "But I want to see them. You are not the boss of me. You don't own the slides. You only own the microscope."
+
+Lily was hurt and angry too. She didn't like Max's words. She thought he was rude and selfish. She said, "Yes, I do own the slides. They are mine. And you have to respect them and me. If you can't be obedient and nice, you can't use my microscope. Give it back to me."
+
+Max and Lily started to argue and tug at the microscope. They both wanted to have it and use it. They didn't listen to each other or share. They forgot to be friends.
+
+Then they heard a loud noise. It was Lily's dad. He came into the room and saw them fighting. He was not happy. He said, "What is going on here? Why are you yelling and pulling at the microscope? You know that is not how you treat it or each other. You are both in trouble. Give me the microscope and the slides. You have to apologize and make up. And you have to learn to be more careful and kind."
+
+Max and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had made a mistake. They gave the microscope and the slides to Lily's dad. They said they were sorry to him and to each other. They hugged and promised to be better friends. They decided to play with something else that was more fun and less delicate. They learned their lesson.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his cap. His cap was gray and had a big letter T on it. He wore his cap every day, even when it was hot or cold.
+
+One day, Tom went to the park with his mom and his dog. He saw a big hill with green grass and yellow flowers. He wanted to run up the hill and see what was on the other side. He told his mom and his dog to follow him.
+
+Tom ran up the hill very fast. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He was happy and excited. He reached the top of the hill and looked around. He saw a pond with ducks and a bridge. He saw a tree with red apples and a swing. He saw a lot of things that he liked.
+
+But he also saw something that he did not like. He saw a big bird with black feathers and a sharp beak. The bird was flying over the pond and looking for food. The bird saw Tom's cap and thought it was a mouse. The bird wanted to eat the mouse.
+
+The bird swooped down and grabbed Tom's cap with its claws. Tom felt his cap being pulled off his head. He was scared and angry. He shouted at the bird and tried to get his cap back. But the bird was too fast and too strong. The bird flew away with Tom's cap.
+
+Tom was very sad. He loved his cap and did not want to lose it. He lay down on the grass and cried. He did not want to play anymore. He wanted his cap.
+
+His mom and his dog came to the top of the hill. They saw Tom lying on the grass and crying. They did not know what happened. They asked Tom what was wrong.
+
+Tom told them about the bird and his cap. He pointed to the sky and said, "The bird took my cap. It was gray and had a big letter T on it. I want my cap back."
+
+His mom and his dog felt sorry for Tom. They hugged him and tried to comfort him. They said, "We are sorry, Tom. We know you liked your cap. But maybe the bird needed it more than you. Maybe the bird was cold or hungry. Maybe the bird will bring it back someday. Or maybe we can find you a new cap. A cap that is even better than the gray one. A cap that has a big letter T and a star on it. Would you like that?"
+
+Tom looked at his mom and his dog. He thought about what they said. He was still sad, but he felt a little better. He said, "Maybe you are right. Maybe the bird needed my cap. Maybe I can get a new cap. A cap with a star on it. That would be nice."
+
+He smiled and wiped his tears. He got up from the grass and said, "Can we go see the pond and the ducks and the bridge? And the tree and the apples and the swing? And can we play with them?"
+
+His mom and his dog nodded and said, "Yes, we can. Let's go and have some fun."
+
+They walked down the hill and went to see the pond and the ducks and the bridge. And the tree and the apples and the swing. And they played with them. Tom forgot about his cap for a while. He was happy and excited again. He had a good day at the park.
+Anna liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang songs about her toys, her family, and her dreams. She sang so much that her mom and dad sometimes asked her to be quiet.
+
+One night, Anna could not sleep. She looked out of her window and saw the moon. The moon was big and bright and round. Anna thought the moon was pretty. She wanted to sing to the moon. She opened her window and sang a song. She sang, "Hello, moon, you are so nice. I like to see you in the sky. You make the night less dark and scary. You are my friend, moon, I love you."
+
+The moon heard Anna's song. The moon liked Anna's song. The moon wanted to sing back to Anna. The moon opened its mouth and sang a song. It sang, "Hello, Anna, you are so sweet. I like to hear you sing to me. You make the night more fun and happy. You are my friend, Anna, I love you."
+
+Anna was surprised. She did not know the moon could sing. She thought the moon was weird. But she also thought the moon was nice. She smiled and sang again. She sang, "Thank you, moon, for singing to me. You have a weird but lovely voice. You make me feel special and cozy. You are my friend, moon, I love you."
+
+The moon smiled and sang again. It sang, "Thank you, Anna, for singing to me. You have a sweet and lovely voice. You make me feel special and cozy. You are my friend, Anna, I love you."
+
+Anna and the moon sang to each other until they fell asleep. They had a weird but wonderful night. They were happy. They were friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with paint. They have many colors of paint. They have red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They use brushes to make pictures on paper.
+
+One day, they see a furry cat outside the window. The cat is black and white. It has a long tail and big eyes. The cat looks at Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben look at the cat.
+
+"Hello, cat!" Anna says. She waves her hand at the cat. The cat does not wave back. It meows.
+
+"Can we play with the cat?" Ben asks. He likes furry animals. He wants to touch the cat.
+
+"Maybe," Anna says. She thinks the cat is cute. She wants to make a picture of the cat.
+
+They go outside with their paint and paper. They see the cat sitting on the grass. The cat sees them too. It does not run away. It stays still.
+
+Anna and Ben sit near the cat. They are careful not to scare the cat. They start to paint the cat on their paper. They use black and white paint. They also use other colors to make the grass and the sky.
+
+The cat watches them paint. It is curious. It walks closer to them. It sniffs their paint and paper. It rubs its head on their legs. It purrs.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They are happy. They have a new friend. They finish their pictures. They show them to the cat.
+
+"Look, cat! This is you!" Anna says. She holds her picture up. The cat looks at it. It meows.
+
+"This is you too!" Ben says. He holds his picture up. The cat looks at it. It meows again.
+
+The cat likes their pictures. It likes Anna and Ben. It licks their faces. Anna and Ben laugh. They hug the cat.
+
+They decide to name the cat. They think of a good name. They name the cat Paint. They think it is a funny name. They think the cat likes it too.
+
+They play with Paint for a long time. They have fun. They wave goodbye to Paint when they go home. They promise to come back and play again. Paint waves back with its tail. It waits for them.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had fun with their toys and their friends.
+
+But then, a big boy came and took Anna's vest. He said it was his vest and he ran away. Anna was very sad and angry. She liked her vest. It was pink and soft and had a flower on it. She started to cry.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Ben shouted. He ran after the big boy. He was not afraid of him. He was Anna's friend and he wanted to help her.
+
+The big boy was fast, but Ben was faster. He caught up with him and grabbed the vest. He pulled hard and the vest ripped. The big boy fell down and hurt his knee. He started to cry too.
+
+"Here, Anna, I got your vest," Ben said. He ran back to Anna and gave her the vest. It was torn and dirty, but Anna was happy. She hugged Ben and thanked him.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend," Anna said.
+
+"You're welcome, Anna, I'm sorry your vest is broken," Ben said.
+
+"That's okay, Ben, it's just a vest. You are more important than a vest," Anna said.
+
+They smiled and went back to play. The big boy was still crying. He was weird. He should not take things that are not his. Anna and Ben did not like him. They liked each other. They were friends.
+Anna likes to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She has a big box of hats, scarves, shoes and dresses. She likes to mix and match them and look at herself in the mirror. She thinks she is very pretty and funny.
+
+One day, she finds a red dress that is very tight. She tries to put it on, but it is too small for her. She pulls and pulls, but it does not fit. She feels sad and angry. She wants to wear the red dress.
+
+She runs to her mom and says, "Mom, mom, I want to wear the red dress, but it is too tight. It does not fit me. Can you make it bigger?"
+
+Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "Anna, the red dress is mine. It is for grown-ups. It is not for you. You have many other beautiful clothes that fit you. Why don't you try the blue dress? It has flowers and ribbons. It is very pretty and soft."
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She likes the blue dress. It has flowers and ribbons. It is very pretty and soft. She says, "OK, mom, I will try the blue dress. Thank you for helping me."
+
+She runs back to the box and takes out the blue dress. She puts it on and looks at herself in the mirror. She smiles and twirls. She thinks she is very pretty and happy. She says, "I love the blue dress. It is perfect for me."
+Sara liked to play with her dolls in the garden. She had a big box of dolls and clothes and shoes. She made them have tea parties and picnics and adventures. She was very happy.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Sara, we have to go to the store. Put your dolls away and get your coat." Sara did not want to go to the store. She wanted to play more. She said, "No, mom, please. Let me play a little more." But her mom said, "No, Sara, we have to go now. Don't be sour. You can play later."
+
+Sara was very sour. She put her dolls away, but not in the box. She hid them under a bush. She thought, "Maybe mom will not see them. Maybe I can play with them when we come back." She got her coat and followed her mom.
+
+But when they came back, Sara saw something bad. A big dog was in the garden. He had found her dolls under the bush. He was biting them and tearing them and throwing them. He had made a big mess. Sara cried, "No, no, no! My dolls! My dolls!"
+
+Her mom saw the dog and the dolls. She said, "Oh, Sara, I'm sorry. This is what happens when you don't listen. You should have put your dolls in the box. The dog would not have found them. Now they are ruined. You can't play with them anymore."
+
+Sara was very sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was sour. I should have listened. I should have put my dolls in the box. Can I have new dolls?"
+
+Her mom said, "Maybe, Sara, maybe. But not today. Today you have to learn your lesson. You have to be good and do what I say. You have to permit me to be your mom. And you have to be careful with your things. They are not toys for dogs. They are toys for you."
+
+Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I will be good. I will do what you say. I will permit you to be my mom. And I will be careful with my things. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Sara. Now let's go inside and have some cookies. Maybe they will make you feel better."
+
+Sara smiled. She said, "Yes, mom, let's go. But can I have some milk too? Cookies are good, but they are sour. They make my mouth sour. Milk is sweet. It makes my mouth sweet."
+
+Her mom laughed. She said, "Of course, Sara, of course. You can have some milk too. But first, wipe your feet. They are dirty from the garden. We don't want to make the floor dirty too."
+
+Sara wiped her feet. She said, "OK, mom, OK. I will wipe my feet. They are dirty from the garden. But they are also happy from the garden. The garden is fun. Can I play in the garden tomorrow?"
+
+Her mom said, "Maybe, Sara, maybe. If you are good and do what I say. And if you put your dolls in the box. And if the dog is not there. Then you can play in the garden tomorrow."
+
+Sara said, "OK, mom, OK. I will be good and do what you say. And I will put my dolls in the box. And I will look for the dog. Then I can play in the garden tomorrow."
+
+They went inside and had cookies and milk. Sara was not sour anymore. She was sweet. And she was happy. She loved her mom. And she loved her dolls. Even the ones that the dog had bitten. She thought, "Maybe I can fix them. Maybe I can make them new clothes and shoes. Maybe they can have new adventures. Maybe they can be happy too." She hoped so. She hoped so very much.

+One day, Bella and Max went to the park with Bella's mom. They saw a lot of other dogs and children there. Bella wanted to make new friends, so she ran up to a girl with a pink dress and a white dog.
+
+"Hi, I'm Bella. What's your name?" she asked.
+
+The girl looked at Bella and smiled. "I'm Lily. This is Snowy. He's my dog. Do you want to play with us?" she replied.
+
+Bella nodded. She thought Lily and Snowy looked nice. She called Max to join them. "This is Max. He's my dog. He's brilliant. He can do tricks. Watch!" she said.
+
+She threw a stick and Max ran after it. He caught it in his mouth and brought it back to Bella. He dropped it at her feet and wagged his tail. He looked at Bella with his big, brown eyes and licked her face.
+
+Bella laughed and hugged Max. "Good boy, Max! You're the best!" she said.
+
+Lily and Snowy clapped and cheered. "Wow, Max is brilliant! Snowy can do tricks too. He can shake his paw. Look!" she said.
+
+She held out her hand and Snowy lifted his paw. He touched Lily's hand with his paw and barked. He looked at Lily with his small, black eyes and wagged his tail.
+
+Lily laughed and hugged Snowy. "Good boy, Snowy! You're the best!" she said.
+
+Bella and Lily became friends. They played with Max and Snowy for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They shared their snacks and toys. They told each other stories and jokes. They were happy.
+
+Bella's mom came to pick them up. She said it was time to go home. Bella and Lily said goodbye to each other. They promised to play again soon.
+
+Bella and Max got in the car. Bella looked out the window and waved to Lily and Snowy. She smiled and said, "Mom, I made a new friend today. Her name is Lily. She has a dog named Snowy. They're brilliant. Just like Max."
+
+Bella's mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Bella. I'm glad you had a good time. Max is brilliant. And so are you."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to chase it.
+
+One time, the ball went over the fence and into the street. Tom and Lily ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw it on the other side, near a big car.
+
+"Let's get the ball!" Tom said.
+
+"No, we can't. Mommy said we can't go to the street. It's dangerous. There are cars and trucks and buses. They can hurt us." Lily said.
+
+"But I want the ball. It's our ball. We can be quick. We can escape the cars." Tom said.
+
+He was careless. He did not listen to Lily. He did not listen to Mommy. He climbed the fence and jumped down. He ran to the ball.
+
+Lily was scared. She shouted, "Tom, come back! Come back!"
+
+But Tom did not hear her. He did not see the big truck that was coming fast. He did not see the scale on the truck that weighed the things. He only saw the ball.
+
+He reached the ball and picked it up. He smiled. He turned around to go back.
+
+But it was too late. The truck hit him. The scale hit him. He fell down. He did not get up.
+
+Lily screamed. She cried. She climbed the fence and ran to Tom. She hugged him. She said, "Tom, Tom, wake up! Wake up!"
+
+But Tom did not wake up. He was gone. He escaped the park. He escaped the ball. He escaped Lily. He escaped life.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and she made beautiful pictures of flowers, animals and people. She was very proud of her drawings and she showed them to her mom and dad.
+
+One day, she found a new crayon in her box. It was shiny and sharp and it had no label. Lily wondered what color it was. She decided to try it on a blank paper. She pressed the crayon hard and made a big line. But the line was not a color. It was black and it smelled bad. Lily did not like it. She tried to erase it with her hand, but it only made her hand dirty.
+
+"Yuck!" she said. "This is a bad crayon. I don't want it."
+
+She threw the crayon away and picked another one. She started to draw a beautiful butterfly. She used yellow, blue and pink. She was happy with her butterfly. She wanted to show it to her mom.
+
+She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making cookies. She held her paper in front of her and said, "Look, mom, I made a butterfly. Do you like it?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, Lily, I like it. It's very beautiful. But what is that black line on your paper?"
+
+Lily looked at her paper and saw the black line. It was still there, even though she threw away the bad crayon. It was very long and it crossed her butterfly. It made her butterfly look ugly.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "That was the bad crayon. It made a bad line. I don't like it. I want it to go away."
+
+Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That crayon was not for drawing. It was a marker. It makes permanent lines that don't go away. You have to be careful with markers. They are sharp and quick and they can ruin your paper."
+
+Lily said, "But I didn't know. I thought it was a crayon. How can I fix it?"
+
+Her mom said, "You can't fix it, Lily. But you can make a new picture. You have many other crayons and papers. You can draw another butterfly or something else. And next time, you can ask me before you use a new crayon. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I will ask you next time. Can I have a cookie?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. You can have a cookie. And I will keep the marker away from your crayons. Come on, let's go to the living room and have a snack. And then you can draw some more beautiful pictures."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+She hugged her mom and took a cookie. She went to the living room and started to draw a new picture. She hoped it would be as beautiful as her butterfly.
+Ben and Lily are twins, but they are very unique. Ben likes to play with cars and trucks, and Lily likes to play with dolls and tea sets. They have a big room with many toys, but they do not like to share.
+
+One day, their mom tells them to clean up their room before lunch. She says, "You have to put away your toys and make your beds. I will not permit you to eat until you do."
+
+Ben and Lily nod, but they do not listen. They keep playing with their own toys and ignore the mess. They think mom will not notice.
+
+But mom does notice. She comes back to check on them and sees the room is still dirty. She is very angry. She says, "You did not do what I asked. This is the result of your disobedience. You will not have lunch until you clean up your room. And you will not play with your toys until tomorrow."
+
+Ben and Lily are very sad. They realize they made a mistake. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We will clean up our room now. Please forgive us."
+
+Mom says, "I forgive you, but you have to learn to obey and share. You are unique, but you are also twins. You have to love and help each other."
+
+Ben and Lily hug mom and say, "We love you, mom. And we love each other. We will share our toys and play together."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's good. Now go and clean up your room. And then you can have lunch."
+
+Ben and Lily do as mom says. They clean up their room and make their beds. They put away their toys and mix them together. They decide to play with cars and dolls and trucks and tea sets. They have fun and laugh.
+
+Mom is happy to see them get along. She says, "You are very unique, but you are also very sweet. I am proud of you."
+
+The end.
+Sam liked to visit his aunt's house. She had many toys and books for him to play with. She also had a big dog named Rex. Rex was very friendly and liked to lick Sam's face and wag his tail. But Sam was afraid of Rex. He thought Rex was too big and loud and might bite him.
+
+One day, Sam's aunt said, "Sam, do you want to help me feed Rex? He is very hungry and needs his food." Sam shook his head and hid behind the couch. He did not want to go near Rex. He heard Rex bark and saw his big teeth.
+
+"Come on, Sam, don't be scared. Rex is a good dog. He won't hurt you. He just wants to say hello. Look, he is wagging his tail. That means he is happy to see you." Sam's aunt tried to coax him out of his hiding spot. She held a bowl of dog food in her hand and walked towards Rex.
+
+Sam peeked from behind the couch. He saw Rex sniff the bowl and lick his lips. He saw his aunt pat Rex's head and rub his ears. He saw Rex nuzzle his aunt's hand and make a soft sound. He saw his aunt smile and say, "Good boy, Rex. You are such a good boy."
+
+Sam felt a little curious. He wondered what Rex felt like. He wondered if Rex would like him too. He wondered if he could be brave like his aunt. He took a deep breath and crawled out of the couch. He walked slowly towards Rex and his aunt. He reached out his hand and touched Rex's fur. It was soft and warm. Rex looked at him and licked his hand. Sam giggled and said, "Hi, Rex. You are a good dog." His aunt hugged him and said, "Well done, Sam. You are very brave. I'm proud of you." Sam smiled and said, "I like Rex. Can I play with him?" His aunt nodded and said, "Of course you can. Rex likes you too. He is your friend." Sam and Rex played together and had fun. Sam was not afraid of Rex anymore. He was happy.
+Tommy likes to imagine that he is a golf player. He has a toy golf set that he plays with in the backyard. He pretends that he is hitting the ball far and fast, and that he is winning a big trophy.
+
+One day, his big sister Lily comes to the backyard. She sees Tommy playing with his golf set and laughs. "That's a silly game," she says. "You can't play golf. You're too small and you don't know the rules. Golf is for smart people, not babies."
+
+Tommy feels angry and sad. He likes his game and he thinks he is smart. He says to Lily, "I can play golf. I am smart. You are mean and you don't know how to imagine. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+Lily rolls her eyes and says, "Fine, I don't want to play with you anyway. You're boring and you have no friends. I'm going to play with my dolls. They are more fun than you and your stupid golf set."
+
+She walks away and leaves Tommy alone. Tommy feels hurt and lonely. He wishes he had someone to play with and to share his imagination. He picks up his golf set and puts it away. He thinks maybe he will try a different game tomorrow. Maybe he will find a friend who likes to imagine too.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the yard. One day, they saw a big turkey in the grass. It was brown and fat and had a red thing on its head.
+
+"Look, a turkey!" Tom said. "Let's catch it and take it home!"
+
+Sam nodded. He ran after the turkey. But the turkey was fast and ran away. Sam was weak and got tired. He stopped and panted.
+
+"Come on, Sam!" Tom said. "Don't lose the turkey! I have a plan!"
+
+Tom picked up a stick and a rope. He made a trap for the turkey. He put the rope on the ground and hid the stick behind a bush. He waited for the turkey to come back.
+
+The turkey came back. It saw the rope and thought it was a worm. It pecked at the rope. Tom pulled the stick and the rope tightened around the turkey's neck. The turkey was caught.
+
+"Ha, we got it!" Tom said. He ran to the trap and grabbed the turkey. The turkey flapped its wings and gobbled.
+
+"Let go of me!" the turkey said.
+
+Tom and Sam were surprised. They did not know that turkeys could talk.
+
+"Please, let me go!" the turkey said. "I have a family and friends. I don't want to be your dinner!"
+
+Tom and Sam felt sorry for the turkey. They looked at each other and nodded. They untied the rope and let the turkey go.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" the turkey said. It ran away and disappeared in the grass.
+
+Tom and Sam smiled. They did not lose the turkey. They made a new friend.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red mailbox near their house. They wondered what was inside. They ran to the mailbox and tried to open it, but it was too high and too hard.
+
+"Let me try," said Max. He pushed and pulled, but he could not open it either.
+
+"Maybe we need a stick," said Lily. She looked around and found a long stick. She gave it to Max and he tried to poke the mailbox with it. But the stick was too short and too weak. It broke in half.
+
+"Uh-oh," said Max. "Now we have a broken stick and a closed mailbox."
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was Mr. Lee, the mailman. He had a big bag of letters and a key.
+
+"Hello, children," he said. "What are you doing with the mailbox?"
+
+"We wanted to see what was inside," said Lily.
+
+"But this is not a toy," said Mr. Lee. "This is where I put the letters for the people who live here. They are very important and private. You should not touch the mailbox without permission."
+
+Lily and Max felt sorry. They did not know they were doing something wrong.
+
+"We are sorry, Mr. Lee," they said. "We did not mean to be bad."
+
+Mr. Lee smiled. He was not angry. He was kind and patient.
+
+"It's okay, children," he said. "I know you were curious. But you have to be careful and respectful. The mailbox is not for playing. It is for helping people communicate and stay in touch. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They understood.
+
+"Can we help you, Mr. Lee?" they asked. "Can we carry your bag or give you the letters?"
+
+Mr. Lee was surprised and pleased. He saw that Lily and Max were good children who wanted to learn and help.
+
+"Sure, you can help me," he said. "That would be very nice of you. Thank you, children. You are very helpful and grateful."
+
+Lily and Max smiled. They were happy to help Mr. Lee. They took turns carrying his bag and giving him the letters. They followed him to the next mailbox and the next. They learned the names of the people who lived in their street and the colors of their houses. They had fun and made a new friend.
+
+The moral of the story is: Curiosity is good, but respect is better. Helping others is rewarding and makes friends.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to find sticks and leaves and make things with them. They made a house, a boat, and a crown.
+
+"Look, I made a crown for you," Ben said. He gave Lila a circle of sticks and leaves. He had attached them with vines.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind," Lila said. She put the crown on her head. She felt like a queen.
+
+They saw an elderly woman walking in the forest. She had a basket and a cane. She smiled at them.
+
+"Hello, children. What are you doing?" she asked.
+
+"We are playing. We made a house, a boat, and a crown," Lila said. She showed the woman her crown.
+
+"That's very nice. You are very creative," the woman said. She gave them some cookies from her basket. "These are for you. I made them with honey and nuts."
+
+"Thank you, ma'am. You are very nice," Ben said. He took a cookie and bit it. It was sweet and crunchy.
+
+They shared the cookies with the woman. They talked and laughed. They became friends. They played in the forest until the sun went down.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do.
+
+"Let's play with the furniture!" Ben said. He ran to the sofa and jumped on it.
+
+"No, Ben, that's bad!" Lily said. "Mommy will be mad. The sofa is not for jumping. It is for sitting."
+
+Ben did not listen. He jumped higher and higher. He knocked over a lamp and a vase. They broke and made a loud noise.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, look what you did!" Lily said. "Now the sofa is dirty and the lamp and the vase are broken. Mommy will be very mad. How can we fix this?"
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to break things. He wanted to make Mommy happy, not mad.
+
+"I know!" he said. "Let's improve the furniture. Let's make it pretty and clean. Then Mommy will be happy."
+
+"How can we do that?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben looked around. He saw some pillows, some blankets, some crayons and some paper. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's make the sofa a castle!" he said. "We can use the pillows and the blankets to make walls and a roof. We can use the crayons and the paper to make flags and signs. We can pretend we are the king and the queen of the sofa castle."
+
+Lily liked the idea. She helped Ben to make the sofa a castle. They used the crayons and the paper to write "Sorry Mommy" and "We love you" on the signs. They put them on the sofa castle. They also cleaned the dirt from the sofa and picked up the broken pieces of the lamp and the vase. They put them in a bag.
+
+They were proud of their sofa castle. They hoped Mommy would like it too.
+
+They heard the door open. Mommy was home.
+
+"Mommy, Mommy, come and see!" they shouted. "We improved the furniture for you!"
+
+Mommy came and saw the sofa castle. She saw the signs and the bag. She smiled.
+
+"That's very nice of you, Lily and Ben," she said. "I can see you worked hard to improve the furniture. Thank you for saying sorry and for cleaning up. I love you too."
+
+She hugged them and kissed them. She was not mad. She was happy.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy too. They played with the sofa castle until it was time for dinner. They learned that improving the furniture was more fun than breaking it.
+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of socks. They liked to make sock puppets, sock balls, and sock forts with the socks.
+
+One day, they had a big fight over a sock. It was a red sock with a blue star on it. Sam said it was his sock, and Lily said it was hers. They both wanted to use it for their sock puppet show.
+
+"Give me the sock!" Sam shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily yelled.
+
+They pulled and tugged on the sock until it ripped in half. They both looked at the torn sock and started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam," Lily said. "I didn't mean to break the sock."
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Sam said. "I shouldn't have been so tough with you."
+
+They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to share the sock and make two sock puppets out of it. They put on a sock puppet show for their mom and dad, who clapped and smiled.
+
+"Good job, Sam and Lily," their mom said. "You are very creative and kind. We are proud of you for forgiving each other."
+
+Sam and Lily smiled and thanked their mom and dad. They were happy to play together again. They learned that sharing and forgiving are better than fighting and hurting.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park with their toys. They like to slide, swing and run. They are having fun.
+
+But then, the sky becomes dark and grey. They hear a loud noise. It is thunder. They see a flash. It is lightning. They feel drops. It is rain.
+
+"Uh-oh, we have to go home!" Anna says. "The rain is wet and cold. The thunder and lightning are scary. Come on, Ben!"
+
+Ben nods and grabs his toy car. But he drops it on the ground. He bends down to pick it up. But then, a big puddle splashes him. He gets wet and dirty. He cries.
+
+"Ben, hurry up!" Anna says. "We have to go home! Mom and dad are waiting for us. They will make us warm and dry. They will make us safe."
+
+Ben is frustrated. He does not like the rain. He does not like the puddle. He does not like his toy car. He wants to play more. He does not want to go home.
+
+But he knows Anna is right. He knows mom and dad are worried. He knows they love him. He wipes his tears and follows Anna. They run to their house. They see mom and dad at the door. They hug them and go inside. They are safe.
+Lily liked to study books with many pictures. She liked to learn new things and words. One day, she found a big book with a picture of a lady singing. The lady wore a green dress and a green hat. Lily asked her mom, "What is this, mom?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "This is opera, Lily. Opera is a kind of music where people sing very loud and high. They tell stories with their songs. Do you want to hear some opera?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please, mom. I want to hear opera."
+
+Mom took Lily to the living room and turned on the TV. She found a channel that showed opera. Lily saw many people on a stage. They wore colorful clothes and had funny faces. They sang and moved around. Lily listened and watched. She liked the sounds and the colors. She clapped her hands and said, "Opera is fun, mom. I like opera."
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm glad you like opera, Lily. Maybe one day we can go and see opera live. Would you like that?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I would like that very much. Thank you for showing me opera."
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. Today, they are playing mail. They have a big box and some paper. They write letters and draw pictures. They put them in the box. Then, they take turns to be the mail person.
+
+"Knock, knock!" Ben says. He is the mail person now. He has the box on his back. He knocks on the door of Mia's room.
+
+"Who is it?" Mia asks.
+
+"It's the mail! I have letters for you!" Ben says.
+
+Mia opens the door. She is happy to see Ben and the box. She takes the letters and pictures from the box. She says, "Thank you, mail person!"
+
+"You're welcome!" Ben says. He smiles.
+
+They do this many times. They have fun. But after a while, they get tired. The box is heavy. The paper is messy. The motion of walking and knocking makes them sleepy.
+
+"Can we stop playing mail now?" Mia asks. She yawns.
+
+"Okay," Ben says. He nods. He is tired too.
+
+They put the box and the paper away. They go to their beds. They hug their teddy bears. They close their eyes. They dream of mail and letters and pictures. They are happy.
+Lily likes to skip. She skips in the park, she skips in the yard, she skips in the house. She skips with her mom, she skips with her dad, she skips with her dog. She skips when she is happy, she skips when she is sad, she skips when she is bored.
+
+One day, Lily finds a phone. It is big and black and shiny. It has buttons and a screen and a cord. Lily thinks it is a toy. She picks it up and presses the buttons. She hears a beep and a voice. She says hello.
+
+The voice says hello back. It is a man. He sounds nice. He asks Lily who she is and where she is. Lily tells him her name and her address. She tells him she likes to skip. The man says he likes to skip too. He says he is at work. He says he is slow. He says he has a lot of papers and numbers and words. He says he is bored.
+
+Lily says she can help. She says she can make him happy. She says she can skip with him. She says she can show him her phone. The man says he would like that. He says he can come to see her. He says he can skip with her. He says he can play with her phone.
+
+Lily is excited. She says yes. She says she will wait for him. She says she will skip until he comes. She says goodbye. She hangs up the phone. She puts it on the table. She runs to the door. She looks outside. She sees a car. It is big and black and shiny. It has a light and a siren and a badge. It stops in front of her house. A man gets out. He is big and black and shiny. He has a hat and a gun and a badge. He is not the man on the phone. He is a cop. He is not slow. He is not bored. He is not happy. He is angry. He knocks on the door. He asks for Lily. He asks for the phone. He says he is here to help. He says he is here to stop. He says he is here to arrest. He says he is here to end. He says he is here to end the story.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with many birds. Lily liked the white birds with long necks. She said, "Look, Ben, those are swans. They are so pretty and graceful. Let's pretend we are swans too."
+
+Ben nodded and followed Lily to the edge of the pond. They stretched their arms like wings and made soft noises like swans. They walked around the pond and pretended to swim and dive. They felt warm and happy.
+
+But then, a big boy came and saw them. He laughed and said, "You are not swans, you are silly kids. Swans are not white, they are black. And they don't make those noises, they hiss and bite. You are doing it wrong."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and scared. They did not like the big boy. He was mean and rude. They wanted to keep playing, but they did not want to be teased. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then, a real swan came out of the pond and saw the big boy. It did not like him either. It flapped its wings and hissed at him. It chased him away from the pond. The big boy ran and screamed. He was sorry he was mean and rude.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and clapped. They thanked the swan for helping them. The swan nodded and swam back to the pond. Lily and Ben hugged and said, "We are swans, and we are friends. We can pretend whatever we want." They kept playing and had fun. They felt warm and happy again.
+Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. Sara has a ruler. She likes to measure things.
+
+"Look, Ben, this block is ten long," Sara says, showing him the ruler.
+
+"Wow, that is a long block," Ben says. "Can I have it?"
+
+"OK, but you have to give me two small blocks," Sara says. "That is fair."
+
+They trade blocks and keep building. They make a tall tower. They are happy.
+
+But then, Tom comes. Tom is fat. He likes to break things. He sees the tower and laughs.
+
+"That is a silly tower," Tom says. "It is too thin. Watch this!"
+
+He pushes the tower with his hand. The tower falls down. The blocks scatter. Sara and Ben are sad. They cry.
+
+"Tom, you are mean!" Sara says. "You broke our tower!"
+
+"Sorry, sorry," Tom says. "It was just a joke. Don't cry. I have an idea. Let's build a new tower. A bigger one. I will help you."
+
+He picks up some blocks and tries to join them. But he is clumsy. He drops the blocks. He makes a mess.
+
+"Tom, you are not helping!" Ben says. "You are making it worse. Go away!"
+
+"No, no, I want to play," Tom says. "Please, let me play. I promise I will be good. I promise I will not break anything. Please, please, please."
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They are not sure. They don't trust Tom. But they are also kind. They don't want to hurt his feelings.
+
+"OK, Tom, you can play," Sara says. "But you have to listen to us. And you have to keep your promise. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, yes, I understand," Tom says. "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will be good. I will keep my promise. I will measure the blocks with you. I will make the tower strong. I will not push it. I will not laugh. I will be nice."
+
+They nod and smile. They give him a chance. They hope he will keep his promise. They start to build a new tower. A bigger one. A better one. Together.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make funny noises and pretend they were animals. Anna was a cat and Ben was a dog. They chased each other and pounced on the cushions.
+
+But then, their uncle came to visit. He was very nosy. He always asked them many questions and looked at their toys. He wanted to know what they were doing and why. He also liked to pinch their cheeks and say they were cute.
+
+Anna and Ben did not like that. They wanted to play in peace. They did not want to answer his questions or feel his pinches. They tried to hide behind the sofa, but he found them.
+
+"Hello, my little kittens!" he said. "What are you playing today? Can I join you?"
+
+"No, thank you, uncle," Anna said. "We are busy."
+
+"Busy with what?" he asked. "Are you learning something new? Are you having fun?"
+
+"Yes, we are," Ben said. "But we don't want to talk. We want to play."
+
+He reached out to pinch Ben's cheek, but Ben moved away. He did not like his uncle's touch. He felt angry. He decided to teach him a lesson.
+
+He jumped on his uncle's back and bit his ear. He growled like a dog. He said, "Bad uncle! Go away!"
+
+His uncle was surprised and hurt. He yelled, "Ow! Ow! Ow! What are you doing, Ben? That's not nice!"
+
+Anna saw what Ben did. She thought it was funny. She joined him and scratched his uncle's face. She meowed like a cat. She said, "Bad uncle! Leave us alone!"
+
+Their uncle was scared and sad. He got off the sofa and ran to the door. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. I didn't mean to bother you. I just wanted to play with you. I love you."
+
+He left the house and drove away. Anna and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They were happy. They had their toys and their living room. They did not need their uncle. They continued to play as a cat and a dog. They did not pinch anyone. They only pinched their toys.
+Sara and Ben were very excited. It was the night before Christmas and they wanted to see Santa and his reindeer. They put on their pajamas and brushed their teeth. Then they went to their bedroom and climbed into their beds.
+
+"Ben, do you think Santa will come soon?" Sara asked her brother.
+
+"I don't know, Sara. Maybe we should listen for his sleigh bells," Ben said.
+
+They closed their eyes and tried to listen. They heard the wind and the snow outside. They heard their parents talking downstairs. They heard their dog snoring in his basket. But they did not hear any sleigh bells.
+
+"Ben, I can't hear anything. Maybe Santa is not coming," Sara said.
+
+"Don't worry, Sara. He will come. He always comes. He knows we have been good this year. And we left him some cookies and milk and some carrots for his reindeer," Ben said.
+
+He reached under his pillow and pulled out a small flashlight. He turned it on and shone it on the wall. He had drawn a picture of Santa and his reindeer with crayons. He pointed at the picture and said, "Look, Sara. These are his reindeer. They are very important. They help Santa fly all over the world and deliver the presents. Do you know their names?"
+
+Sara looked at the picture and smiled. She knew their names. She had learned them from a song. She said, "Yes, I do. They are Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen and Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. And the one with the red nose is Rudolph. He is the leader. He helps Santa see in the dark."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "That's right, Sara. They are very smart and brave and strong. They love Santa and they love children. They are very special. Maybe if we are very quiet and very lucky, we will hear them on the roof."
+
+They turned off the flashlight and cuddled under the covers. They waited and listened. They hoped and dreamed. They did not know that Santa and his reindeer were already on their way. They did not know that Santa had a big surprise for them. They did not know that they would soon hear a soft thud and a jingle and a ho ho ho. They did not know that they would soon see a reindeer peeking through their window. They did not know that it was Rudolph.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. They loved to swing and slide and run. One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big bottle with a skull on it. It looked scary.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is poison," Ben said.
+
+"Poison? What is poison?" Lily asked.
+
+"Poison is bad. It can make you sick or hurt you. We should not touch it," Ben said.
+
+But Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was inside the bottle. She walked towards it.
+
+"Lily, no! Don't go there! It is not nice!" Ben shouted.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She reached the bottle and opened the cap. She smelled something funny. She felt dizzy. She fell down.
+
+"Lily! Lily! Are you okay?" Ben ran to her. He was scared and sad.
+
+He saw a man running to them. He was wearing a green suit and a hat. He had a badge that said "Park Ranger".
+
+"Help! Help! My friend is sick! She drank poison!" Ben cried.
+
+The man picked up Lily and the bottle. He looked angry and worried.
+
+"Who gave you this bottle? This is not a toy! This is a very dangerous chemical! You are lucky I saw you in time!" he said.
+
+He took Lily and Ben to his car. He called for an ambulance. He told them they were going to the hospital.
+
+"Will Lily be okay?" Ben asked.
+
+"I hope so. She needs to get some medicine. You need to be more careful. You should never touch or drink anything you don't know. You could get very hurt," the man said.
+
+Ben nodded. He felt sorry and guilty. He wished he had stopped Lily. He hoped she would get better soon. He loved his friend. He wanted to play with her again.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their town. One day, they saw a big hill behind the park. It looked cool and fun.
+
+"Let's go up the hill and see what's there," Lily said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It's very high and steep," Max said.
+
+They walked and climbed up the hill. They saw many trees and flowers and birds. They also saw a big cave. It was dark and scary.
+
+"Wow, look at that cave. I wonder what's inside," Lily said.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a bear or a monster," Max said.
+
+Lily was brave and curious. She wanted to see the cave. Max was scared and careful. He wanted to stay away from the cave.
+
+"I dare you to go inside the cave with me," Lily said to Max.
+
+"No, thank you. I don't want to go inside the cave. It's too dark and scary," Max said.
+
+"Come on, don't be a chicken. It will be fun. Maybe we'll find a treasure or a secret," Lily said.
+
+She took Max's hand and pulled him towards the cave. Max tried to resist, but Lily was stronger. They entered the cave together.
+
+They walked and walked in the cave. It was very dark and cold. They could not see anything. They heard strange noises and felt wet and slimy things. They were very scared.
+
+"Let's go back. This is not fun. This is bad," Max said.
+
+"OK, OK. Let's go back. I'm sorry. I was wrong. This was a bad dare," Lily said.
+
+They turned around and tried to find the way out. But they could not. They were lost in the cave. They started to cry and shout for help.
+
+"Help! Help! We're in the cave! We can't get out! Help!" they screamed.
+
+But no one heard them. No one knew they were in the cave. They were alone and trapped in the dark.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they wanted to do something new. They saw a big clock on the wall. It had a round face, two hands and many numbers.
+
+"Let's mark the clock!" Tom said. He took a crayon from his box and climbed on a chair. He reached for the clock and started to draw on it. He made a smiley face, a star and a heart.
+
+Lily wanted to mark the clock too. She took another crayon and climbed on another chair. She reached for the clock and started to draw on it. She made a flower, a sun and a moon.
+
+They were having fun, but they did not hear their mom coming. She was busy in the kitchen, making lunch. She came to the living room and saw what they had done. She was very angry.
+
+"Tom! Lily! What have you done?" she shouted. "You have ruined the clock! It was a gift from grandma! How could you be so naughty?"
+
+She took the crayons from their hands and put them in the trash. She made them get down from the chairs and go to their room. She said they could not play with any toys for the rest of the day. She said they had to say sorry to grandma and help her clean the clock.
+
+Tom and Lily were very sad. They cried in their room. They wished they had not marked the clock. They wished they had played with their toys instead. They had made a big mistake.
+Lily was a young girl who loved to play with her toys. She had a big box of cars, trucks, planes and helicopters. She liked to make them zoom and fly around her room.
+
+One day, she heard a loud noise outside. She ran to the window and saw a real helicopter in the sky. It was shiny and blue, and it had a big propeller on top. Lily was very excited. She wanted to see the helicopter up close.
+
+She grabbed her toy helicopter and ran to the door. She asked her mom if she could go outside and join the helicopter. Her mom smiled and said yes, but she had to hold her hand and be careful.
+
+Lily and her mom went outside and walked to the park. The helicopter was landing on a big field. There were some people in uniforms who got out of the helicopter. They looked like they were doing something important.
+
+Lily waved her toy helicopter at them and shouted hello. One of the people saw her and smiled. He walked over to her and said his name was Sam. He was a pilot and he flew the helicopter. He asked her if she liked helicopters too.
+
+Lily nodded and showed him her toy. She said it was her favorite. Sam said it was very nice and asked her if she wanted to see his helicopter. Lily's eyes widened and she said yes, please.
+
+Sam took her and her mom to the helicopter. He showed them the inside and the outside. He explained how it worked and what he did. He let Lily sit in the pilot's seat and wear a headset. He said she could pretend to fly the helicopter.
+
+Lily was very happy. She thanked Sam and gave him a hug. She said he was very nice and she wanted to be a pilot too. Sam said she could be anything she wanted. He said he had to go now, but he hoped to see her again.
+
+Lily waved goodbye to Sam and his helicopter. She watched them take off and fly away. She felt a little sad, but also very proud. She had joined a real helicopter and made a new friend. She decided to play with her toy helicopter more and learn more about flying. She hoped to see Sam and his helicopter again someday.
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big doll with a pink dress and a zip on the back. She loved to zip and unzip the dress and make the doll look pretty.
+
+One day, Lily was playing with her doll when her brother Max came into her room. Max was loud and naughty. He wanted to play with the doll too. He grabbed the doll from Lily and pulled the zip hard. The zip broke and the dress came off. Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted at Max.
+
+Max was scared of Lily's cry. He dropped the doll and ran away. He did not say sorry. Lily picked up her doll and hugged her. She tried to fix the zip, but it was too broken. She did not know what to do.
+
+She went to find her mom. Mom was in the kitchen. She saw Lily's sad face and the broken zip. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, my sweetie. I can fix the zip for you. It will be like new again. Max was very bad. He should say sorry to you."
+
+Mom took the doll and the dress and went to her sewing box. She found a new zip and a needle and thread. She sewed the new zip on the dress and put it back on the doll. She gave the doll to Lily and said, "Here you go, my darling. Your doll is ready to play again. She is very beautiful, just like you."
+
+Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She was very happy. She kissed her mom and her doll. She went back to her room and played with her doll. She zipped and unzipped the dress and made the doll look pretty. She forgot about Max and his naughty pull. She was not shy anymore. She was proud of her doll and her mom.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big stand with music and lights. There are many people who dance and clap. Lily and Ben want to join them.
+
+They run to the stand and find a space. They copy the people who dance. They move their arms and legs. They spin and jump. They smile and laugh. The music is loud and fun.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Ben says. "I can dance fast and slow!"
+
+"Wow, Ben, you are good!" Lily says. "I can dance high and low!"
+
+They dance and dance. They do not see the time. They do not feel tired. They only feel happy.
+
+But then, the music stops. The people who dance stop too. They say thank you and goodbye. They leave the stand. Lily and Ben are alone.
+
+They look at each other. They feel dizzy. They hold their heads. They sit on the ground.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asks.
+
+"I am okay, Ben," Lily says. "But I am dizzy. I think we danced too much."
+
+"Me too, Lily," Ben says. "But it was fun. I like to dance with you."
+
+"I like to dance with you too, Ben," Lily says. "But now, I need a drink. And a hug."
+
+They get up and walk to the bench. They find their water bottles and their moms. They drink and hug. They are not dizzy anymore. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden after dinner. They liked to look at the sky and see the stars and the moon. The moon was big and bright and round.
+
+"Look, Lily, the moon is smiling at us!" Tom said, pointing at the moon.
+
+"No, Tom, the moon is not smiling. The moon is hungry!" Lily said, making a face.
+
+"What do you mean, the moon is hungry?" Tom asked, confused.
+
+"The moon is hungry because it wants to eat the stars. That's why it is so big and round. It ate a lot of stars already!" Lily explained, nodding.
+
+"That's silly, Lily. The moon can't eat the stars. The stars are too far away and too hot. The moon is just a big rock that shines at night." Tom said, shaking his head.
+
+"No, Tom, you are silly. The moon can eat the stars. I saw it once. It ate a big star and then it became smaller and smaller. It was a half moon, then a crescent moon, then a new moon. Then it started to eat stars again and became bigger and bigger. It is a full moon now, but soon it will eat more stars and become smaller again." Lily insisted, crossing her arms.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you have a big imagination. But I don't believe you. The moon doesn't eat the stars. The moon changes shape because of the sun and the earth. My dad told me that. He knows a lot of things." Tom said, proud.
+
+"Your dad is wrong. My mom told me that the moon eats the stars. She knows a lot of things too. And she sings me a song about the hungry moon. Do you want to hear it?" Lily asked, smiling.
+
+"Okay, Lily, I'll listen to your song. But I still don't believe you. The moon is not hungry. The moon is just a big rock that shines at night." Tom said, curious.
+
+Lily sang her song about the hungry moon. Tom listened and clapped his hands. They both laughed and played until it was time to go to bed. They said good night to the moon and the stars and went inside. They dreamed of the sky and the moon and the stars. And they wondered who was right and who was wrong.
+Tom and Lily were twins who lived near the sea. They liked to play on the sand and look at the waves. One day, their mom told them that a big storm was coming. She said it was called a hurricane and it could make the wind blow very hard and the water move very fast. She said they had to pack some things and go to a safer place.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They did not want to leave their home and their toys. They did not want to see the hurricane. They cried and hugged their mom. Their mom was compassionate. She said she understood how they felt, but they had to be brave and listen to her. She said they would come back when the storm was over and everything would be okay.
+
+They got in the car and drove away from the sea. They saw the sky get darker and the trees sway. They heard the thunder and the rain. They held each other's hands and prayed. They hoped the hurricane would not hurt their home and their friends. They hoped they would see the sun and the sea again. They hoped they would be happy and safe.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and blocks. But one day, they had a quarrel. Tim wanted to play with Sam's red car, but Sam said no. He said it was his car and he did not want to share. Tim got angry and said Sam was mean. Sam got angry and said Tim was a thief. They shouted and pushed each other.
+
+Then, they heard a loud noise. They saw a man running away with a big bag. He had taken some things from Tim's house. He was a thief. Tim and Sam forgot their quarrel. They ran after the man and yelled for help. They wanted to stop the thief.
+
+A policeman heard them and saw the thief. He chased him and caught him. He took the bag and gave it back to Tim's family. He thanked Tim and Sam for being brave and helpful. He said they did a good thing. He said they were unusual kids. He gave them a sticker and a smile.
+
+Tim and Sam were happy. They said sorry to each other for their quarrel. They said they were still best friends. They decided to share their cars and play together. They hugged and laughed. They learned that quarreling is bad and helping is good. They learned that being unusual can be good too.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had many friends who wanted to play with them. They were popular and happy.
+
+One day, the sky was dark and loud. It was thunder and rain. Mom said, "Come inside, Tom and Lily. It is not safe to play outside now."
+
+But Tom and Lily did not listen. They wanted to play more. They ran away from Mom and hid behind a big tree.
+
+"Tom, Lily, where are you?" Mom called. "You are being naughty. You will be punished if you do not come inside."
+
+Tom and Lily laughed. They thought Mom could not find them. They did not care about the thunder and rain.
+
+But then, a big flash of light came from the sky. It hit the big tree. The tree broke and fell down. Tom and Lily screamed. They were scared and hurt.
+
+Mom heard them and ran to them. She hugged them and took them inside. She was angry and sad.
+
+"Tom, Lily, you were very foolish. You could have been killed by the thunder. You did not obey me. You did not respect nature. You are punished. You cannot play outside for a week."
+
+Tom and Lily cried. They were sorry. They learned their lesson. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you. We will listen to you next time."
+
+Mom forgave them. She said, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. But you have to be careful and responsible. Thunder and rain are not toys. They are powerful and dangerous. You have to respect them and stay safe."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They hugged Mom. They hoped their friends were safe too. They decided to be good and wise. They wanted to be popular and happy.
+Tim and Mia went to the park with Mom. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Tim climbed up the ladder and slid down fast. He laughed and said, "This is fun!"
+
+Mia wanted to slide too, but she was scared. She looked at the slide and said, "No, no, too high!" Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Mia. You can try the small slide first. It's not so high and not so fast. Come on, I'll help you."
+
+Mom took Mia to the small slide and held her hand. Mia sat on the slide and slid down slowly. She smiled and said, "This is fun too!" Mom clapped and said, "Good job, Mia! You did it!"
+
+Tim and Mia slid on the slides again and again. They had a lot of fun. Then they saw a dove on the grass. The dove was white and pretty. It had a shiny ring on its leg. Tim and Mia ran to the dove and tried to touch it. The dove flew away and landed on a trash can. It pecked at a banana peel.
+
+Tim and Mia followed the dove and climbed on the trash can. They wanted to see the ring. But the trash can was full of garbage. It smelled bad and looked disgusting. Tim and Mia made faces and said, "Yuck!"
+
+Mom saw them and said, "Tim, Mia, get down from there! That's dirty and dangerous! You don't want to touch the garbage or the dove. They have germs. Come here and wash your hands."
+
+Tim and Mia got down from the trash can and ran to Mom. They washed their hands with soap and water. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We won't do that again." Mom said, "That's okay. I'm glad you're safe and clean. Now let's go home and have some lunch." Tim and Mia nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We love you." They hugged Mom and left the park.
+Lily and Ben like to play catch with their ball. They throw the ball to each other and try not to drop it. Sometimes they run and jump to catch the ball. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+One day, they find a big book in the attic. The book has many pictures and words. The book is about history. History is what happened a long time ago. Lily and Ben want to learn about history. They open the book and look at the pictures.
+
+They see pictures of people and animals and things. They see people wearing funny clothes and hats. They see animals that are big and scary. They see things that are old and broken. They point and ask each other questions.
+
+"Who is that man with the long beard?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he is a king," Ben says.
+
+"What is that animal with the long neck?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a dinosaur," Lily says.
+
+"What is that thing that looks like a house?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a castle," Ben says.
+
+They are very curious and want to know more. They try to read the words, but they are too hard. They wish they could ask someone who knows about history.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a voice. It is their grandma. She comes to the attic and sees them with the book.
+
+"Hello, my dear children. What are you doing?" she asks.
+
+"We are looking at the history book, grandma. But we don't understand it. Can you tell us about history?" they ask.
+
+"Of course, I can. I love history. This book is very old and cheap. I bought it at a yard sale. But it has many stories and secrets. Come, sit with me, and I will tell you some of them," she says.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They put the ball away and sit with their grandma. They listen to her stories and learn about history. They ask her many questions and she answers them. They are amazed and excited. They think history is very interesting. They thank their grandma and hug her. They love their grandma and her stories. They want to learn more about history.
+Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They like to play with their uncle Bob. Uncle Bob is very funny and kind. He tells them stories and jokes. He also has a big car that he lets them ride in.
+
+One day, uncle Bob comes to visit them. He says, "Hello, Tom and Anna. Do you want to go to the park with me?" Tom and Anna are very happy. They say, "Yes, yes, yes!" They run to get their coats and shoes. They hug their mom and dad and say, "Bye, bye, we love you!"
+
+Uncle Bob drives them to the park. He plays with them on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They have a lot of fun. They also feed the ducks and eat ice cream. Tom and Anna say, "Thank you, uncle Bob. You are the best uncle ever!"
+
+But uncle Bob has a bad plan. He wants to take Tom and Anna away from their mom and dad. He is a bad man. He tells them, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me to my car." Tom and Anna trust him. They follow him to his car.
+
+But when they get to his car, they see something scary. There are ropes and tape and a big bag in his car. Uncle Bob says, "Get in, quick. We have to go now." Tom and Anna are scared. They say, "No, no, no! We want to go back to mom and dad!" They try to run away, but uncle Bob is faster. He grabs them and puts them in the bag. He ties the bag and puts it in his car. He drives away very fast.
+
+Tom and Anna cry and scream. They want to go back to mom and dad. They want to go back to the park. They want to go back to their home. But uncle Bob does not listen. He does not care. He is a bad man. He has taken Tom and Anna away. They are very sad. They are very scared. They do not know what will happen to them. They do not know if they will ever see their mom and dad again. The end.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big jar of money under their bed. It is their dad's money. He saves it for a rainy day.
+
+"Wow, look at all this money!" Tom says. "We can buy anything we want!"
+
+Sam nods. He sees a shiny car in the jar. He wants it very much. He reaches for it.
+
+But Tom stops him. "No, Sam, we can't take dad's money. It is not ours. He will be very angry if he finds out."
+
+Sam does not listen. He pulls the car out of the jar. But he pulls too hard. The jar falls and breaks. Money and glass fly everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom says. "What have you done? We have to clean this up before dad comes home!"
+
+They hear dad's car in the driveway. He is home early. They rush to pick up the money and the glass. But there is too much. They can't do it fast enough.
+
+Dad opens the door. He sees the mess. He sees the broken jar. He sees the boys.
+
+"What is going on here?" he asks. He is very angry. He is very sad.
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They are sorry. They hug dad and say, "We are sorry, dad. We made a mistake. We wanted to play with your money. We did not mean to break your jar. Please forgive us."
+
+Dad sighs. He hugs them back. He says, "I love you, boys. But you have to learn to respect other people's things. Money is not a toy. It is hard to earn. It is for important things. You have to be careful with it. And you have to be honest with me. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Sam nod. They understand. They say, "We understand, dad. We will not do it again. We will help you fix the jar. We will help you save the money. We will be good boys."
+
+Dad smiles. He says, "Thank you, boys. I appreciate that. Now let's clean up this mess together. And then we can have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Sam smile. They say, "That sounds great, dad. We love you, dad."
+
+They clean up the mess together. They have some cookies and milk. They are happy. They are a family.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big hill near her house. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She put on her boots and her coat and told her mom she was going out.
+
+"Be careful, Lila," her mom said. "Don't go too far."
+
+Lila nodded and ran to the hill. She climbed and climbed until she reached the top. She looked around and saw a lot of trees and flowers. She also saw a small house with a chimney. She was curious and decided to go closer.
+
+As she walked, she stumbled on a rock and fell down. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She cried a little and rubbed it. Then she heard a voice.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the voice said.
+
+Lila looked up and saw a man with a long beard and a hat. He was holding a broom and looked angry. He lived in the small house.
+
+"I'm Lila," she said. "I was just exploring. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you."
+
+The man frowned and said, "You shouldn't be here. This is my land. Go away."
+
+Lila was scared and sad. She wanted to be friendly, but the man was not nice. She got up and ran back to the hill. She didn't want to see the man again.
+
+She reached her house and hugged her mom. She told her what happened and showed her her knee.
+
+"Ouch, that looks painful," her mom said. "Let me put a band-aid on it. You were very brave, Lila. But next time, be more careful where you go. You never know who you might meet."
+
+Lila nodded and said, "I know, mom. I won't go to the hill again. It was too unusual."
+Lily liked to record her voice with her toy phone. She would sing songs, tell jokes, and make funny noises. She would play back her recordings and laugh. She thought she was very clever.
+
+One day, she saw a big herb garden in her neighbor's yard. She wanted to record the names of the herbs, because they sounded nice. She climbed over the fence and walked around the garden. She saw mint, rosemary, basil, and lavender. She held her phone close to each herb and said its name.
+
+But she did not see the neighbor, Mr. Lee, who was working in his shed. He heard Lily's voice and came out to see what was going on. He was not happy to see Lily in his garden. He said, "Hey, what are you doing here? This is my garden, not yours. You are not allowed to touch my herbs. Go away!"
+
+Lily was scared and ran back to the fence. She dropped her phone on the ground. She climbed over the fence and ran to her house. She was sad and sorry. She did not mean to upset Mr. Lee. She just wanted to record the herbs.
+
+The next day, she decided to go back and say sorry to Mr. Lee. She knocked on his door and waited. He opened the door and saw Lily. He said, "What do you want?"
+
+Lily said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lee. I was wrong to go into your garden and touch your herbs. I was curious and wanted to record their names. I like how they smell and sound. But I should have asked you first. Please forgive me."
+
+Mr. Lee looked at Lily and saw that she was sincere. He said, "I forgive you, Lily. You are a brave and honest girl. I'm sorry I was angry with you. I like my herbs very much and I don't like anyone to harm them. But I can share them with you, if you want. Do you want to come in and see my shed? I have some tools and books and other things you might find interesting."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please, Mr. Lee. Thank you for being so friendly and kind. Can I bring my phone and record some of your things?"
+
+Mr. Lee said, "Sure, why not? But only if you promise to be careful and respectful. And maybe you can teach me some of the songs and jokes you record. I like to laugh, too."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I promise, Mr. Lee. And I can teach you some songs and jokes. They are very funny."
+
+They went inside and became friends. Lily learned a lot from Mr. Lee and he learned a lot from Lily. They both enjoyed recording and listening to each other's voices. They both had fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be respectful of other people's property and feelings. Be honest and apologize when you make a mistake. Be friendly and open to learn from others. You might find a new friend and have a good time.
+Anna liked to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She danced with her toys, with her mom, and with her dad. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. Dancing made her feel good.
+
+One night, Anna heard a sound outside her window. She looked and saw a big owl. The owl had big eyes, a big beak, and big wings. The owl looked at Anna and said, "Who, who, who are you?"
+
+Anna was not scared. She smiled and said, "I am Anna. I like to dance. Do you like to dance?"
+
+The owl said, "No, I do not like to dance. I like to fly. Flying is important for owls. We fly to find food, to find friends, and to find a home. Flying makes us feel good."
+
+Anna said, "I see. Flying is important for you. But dancing is important for me. Dancing is fun, dancing is easy, and dancing is beautiful. Dancing makes me feel good."
+
+The owl said, "Maybe you are right. Maybe dancing is important for you. But I do not know how to dance. Can you teach me how to dance?"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, I can teach you how to dance. It is not hard. You just have to move your body to the music. Come, I will show you."
+
+Anna opened her window and invited the owl in. She turned on her radio and played a song. She showed the owl how to move his wings, his feet, and his head. The owl tried to follow her. He was clumsy at first, but he soon got better. He found that dancing was fun, dancing was easy, and dancing was beautiful. Dancing made him feel good.
+
+Anna and the owl danced together for a long time. They laughed and they sang. They became friends. They learned that they had something in common. They both liked to do what made them feel good. And they both liked to share it with someone else.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they got a big box from their grandma. They were very happy and wanted to see what was inside. They ran to their room and started to unpack the box.
+
+Lily found a doll with a pretty dress and a hat. She liked it very much and hugged it. Ben found a car with wheels and lights. He liked it very much and made it zoom. They were having fun with their new toys.
+
+But then, Lily saw Ben's car and wanted it. She said, "Give me your car. It is better than my doll." Ben said, "No, it is mine. You have your doll." Lily got angry and grabbed the car from Ben. Ben got angry and pulled the car back. They started to fight and yell.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw them fighting over the car and the doll. She was not happy. She said, "Stop fighting. You are being ignorant. You should be grateful for what you have and share with each other. Grandma gave you both nice toys because she loves you. You should love each other too."
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They realized they were being ignorant and selfish. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share their toys and play together. They thanked their mom and grandma for the gifts. They learned to be thankful and kind.
+Mia and Leo are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. Mia has a doll and Leo has a car. They share and take turns.
+
+One day, they see a big slide in the park. They want to try it. Mia goes first. She climbs up the stairs and sits on the slide. She holds her doll tight. She says, "Ready, set, go!" and zips down the slide. She laughs and feels happy.
+
+Leo follows her. He climbs up the stairs and sits on the slide. He holds his car tight. He says, "Ready, set, go!" and zips down the slide. He laughs and feels happy.
+
+They do it again and again. They have so much fun. They say, "This is the best slide ever!"
+
+They hug each other and say, "I love you, best friend!" They feel peaceful and warm. They are glad they have each other. They smile and zip down the slide one more time.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to sort things. They sorted their toys, their books, their clothes, and even their food. They had fun making piles of different colors, shapes, and sizes.
+
+One day, their mom and dad told them they were going on a holiday. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and got in the car. They drove for a long time until they reached a big house by the sea. There were many other children there, too. They were their cousins.
+
+Lily and Ben wanted to play with their cousins, but they noticed something strange. Their cousins did not sort things like they did. They mixed up their toys, their books, their clothes, and even their food. They did not make piles of different colors, shapes, and sizes. They just played with whatever they liked.
+
+Lily and Ben did not like that. They thought their cousins were messy and silly. They did not want to play with them. They only wanted to sort things by themselves.
+
+Their mom and dad saw that Lily and Ben were not having fun. They asked them what was wrong. Lily and Ben told them that their cousins did not sort things like they did. They said they did not want to play with them.
+
+Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said, "Lily and Ben, we love you very much. We are proud of you for being good at sorting things. But you know, sorting things is not the only way to have fun. Your cousins have fun in their own way, too. They are not messy and silly. They are just unique. Unique means different and special. Everyone is unique in their own way. And that is what makes them interesting and wonderful. You can learn a lot from your cousins if you play with them. And they can learn a lot from you, too. Why don't you give them a chance and see what happens?"
+
+Lily and Ben thought about what their mom and dad said. They realized they were right. They decided to give their cousins a chance and see what happens. They went to their cousins and said, "Hi, we are Lily and Ben. We like to sort things. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Their cousins smiled and said, "Hi, we are Sam, Mia, Jake, and Zoe. We like to mix things. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we do. Let's play together."
+
+They played together and had a lot of fun. They learned new games, new words, new songs, and new stories. They also taught their cousins how to sort things and why they liked it. They found out that they had many things in common, too. They liked the same colors, the same animals, the same jokes, and the same snacks.
+
+They became good friends and enjoyed their holiday. They learned that being unique is not a bad thing. It is a good thing. It makes the world more colorful, more fun, and more beautiful.
+Lila and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not play outside. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They wanted to do something new and fun.
+
+They saw their dad's vehicle in the garage. It was big and shiny and had four wheels. They wondered what it was like to drive it. They decided to sneak into the garage and pretend to be drivers.
+
+They climbed into the vehicle and put on the seat belts. They looked at the buttons and levers and dials. They did not know what they did, but they wanted to try them. They pushed and pulled and turned and twisted. They made noises like "vroom" and "beep" and "honk".
+
+They did not notice that one of the buttons they pushed was the fuel tank release. They did not see that the fuel was spilling out of the vehicle and onto the floor. They did not smell the strong and bad odor. They did not hear their dad coming into the garage.
+
+Their dad saw the mess and the danger. He shouted, "Lila! Ben! Get out of the vehicle now!" He ran to them and pulled them out of the vehicle. He was angry and scared. He said, "What were you thinking? You could have started a fire! You could have hurt yourselves and the vehicle! You should never touch a vehicle without permission! It is not a toy, it is a tool!"
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We were bored and curious. We wanted to have fun. We did not mean to cause trouble." They hugged their dad and apologized.
+
+Their dad hugged them back and said, "I know you were bored and curious, but you have to be careful and responsible. You have to respect other people's things and follow the rules. You have to ask before you touch something that is not yours. You have to think about the consequences of your actions. You have to learn from your mistakes."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded and said, "We understand, dad. We will be careful and responsible. We will respect other people's things and follow the rules. We will ask before we touch something that is not ours. We will think about the consequences of our actions. We will learn from our mistakes."
+
+Their dad smiled and said, "That's good, my children. I love you and I want you to be safe and happy. Now, let's clean up this mess and then we can find something fun and safe to do together."
+
+The end.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play games. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to race to the top.
+
+"Who is faster, Tim or Kim?" Tim asks.
+
+"Kim is faster, Tim is stupid!" Kim says.
+
+They start to run up the hill. Tim runs very quick. Kim runs slower. She stops to look at a flower. Tim is almost at the top.
+
+"Tim is not stupid, Kim is slow!" Tim shouts.
+

+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and loved to run and bark.
+
+One day, their mom told them she had to go to university. She said it was a place where grown-ups learned new things. She said she would be back soon and asked them to be good and listen to their dad.
+
+Sam and Lily said bye to their mom and went outside with Spot. They saw some dark clouds in the sky and felt some drops on their faces. They knew it was going to rain soon, but they wanted to have some fun before going inside.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek!" said Sam. "I'll count to ten and you hide. Spot, you help me find Lily!"
+
+"Okay!" said Lily. She ran to the sandbox and dug a hole. She covered herself with sand and waited for Sam to find her.
+
+Sam counted to ten and opened his eyes. He looked around the yard and saw the swing, the slide and the sandbox. He did not see Lily or Spot. He wondered where they were.
+
+He walked to the swing and looked behind it. He did not see Lily or Spot. He walked to the slide and looked under it. He did not see Lily or Spot. He walked to the sandbox and saw a mound of sand. He thought Lily or Spot might be hiding there.
+
+He reached out his hand and touched the sand. He felt something soft and furry. He pulled it out and saw it was Spot. Spot wagged his tail and licked Sam's face.
+
+"Good boy, Spot!" said Sam. "But where is Lily?"
+
+He dug deeper into the sand and felt something else. He pulled it out and saw it was Lily. Lily opened her eyes and smiled.
+
+"Boo!" she said. "You found me!"
+
+Sam and Lily laughed and hugged. They were happy they had a good hiding place. They did not hear the thunder or see the lightning. They did not notice the rain was pouring down. They did not know their dad was calling them from the door. They did not know their mom was coming back from university. They did not know Spot was deaf. They only knew they had each other and they were having fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a hose. They take turns to throw the ball, ride the bike and spray the hose.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog is furry and friendly. He wants to play with Lily and Ben. He chases the ball, runs after the bike and jumps in the hose water. Lily and Ben laugh and pet the dog.
+
+But then, a man comes to the park. He is angry and mean. He says the dog is his and he wants to take him away. He grabs the dog by the collar and pulls him hard. The dog whines and tries to get free. Lily and Ben are scared and sad.
+
+They have an idea. They unite and work together. They use the hose to spray the man with water. The man is wet and surprised. He lets go of the dog. The dog runs to Lily and Ben and licks their faces. They hug the dog and smile.
+
+The man is mad and leaves the park. He says he will come back later. Lily and Ben decide to take the dog home with them. They ask their moms and dads if they can keep the dog. Their moms and dads say yes. They name the dog Furry. They are happy and proud. They have a new friend.
+Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree. Maybe Tom was hiding behind the tree, she thought.
+
+She ran to the tree and peeked behind it. But she did not see Tom. She saw a small mouse. The mouse was brown and furry and had a long tail. The mouse looked at Lily and squeaked.
+
+"Hello, mouse," Lily said. "Are you hiding too?"
+
+The mouse nodded and smiled. It was a cheerful mouse. It liked to play games.
+
+"Can I play with you?" Lily asked.
+
+The mouse nodded again and squeaked. It moved aside and made some room for Lily. Lily crawled behind the tree and sat next to the mouse. They became friends.
+
+Meanwhile, Tom was hiding under a bush. He waited and waited for Lily to find him. He wondered where she was. He heard her voice, but it sounded far away. He heard another voice, but it was not human. It was high and squeaky.
+
+He got curious and peeked out of the bush. He saw Lily and the mouse behind the tree. They were talking and laughing. They looked happy.
+
+Tom felt left out. He wanted to play with Lily and the mouse too. He got out of the bush and walked to the tree.
+
+"Hi, Lily," he said. "Hi, mouse. Can I join you?"
+
+Lily and the mouse looked at Tom. They smiled and nodded. They moved aside and made some room for Tom. Tom crawled behind the tree and sat next to Lily and the mouse. They became friends.
+
+They played hide and seek together. Sometimes they hid, sometimes they sought. They had fun. They were cheerful.
+Anna loves to paint. She has many colors of paint and a big paper. She wants to paint an elephant. She knows elephants are big and have long noses and ears.
+
+She takes a lot of brown paint and makes a big circle on the paper. Then she adds a long line for the nose and two big flaps for the ears. She paints two small dots for the eyes and a smile for the mouth. She is happy with her elephant.
+
+She shows her elephant to her mom. "Look, mom, I painted an elephant!" she says.
+
+Mom looks at the paper and smiles. "That's a very nice elephant, Anna. I like how you used brown paint. What is the elephant's name?" she asks.
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She likes to give names to her paintings. She remembers a book she read with her mom about elephants. She says, "His name is Dumbo. He can fly with his ears."
+
+Mom hugs Anna and says, "That's a wonderful name, Anna. Dumbo is a very special elephant. I'm proud of you for painting him." She hangs the paper on the fridge.

+Sara and Ben liked to play with their figures. They had many figures of animals, people and cars. They made stories with their figures and acted them out.
+
+One day, they decided to act a story about a picnic. Sara took a figure of a girl and Ben took a figure of a boy. They also took some figures of food and a blanket.

+They put the blanket on the floor and arranged the food figures on it. They had figures of sandwiches, apples, cookies and juice.
+
+"Wow, this looks delicious," Sara said, making her figure pretend to eat a sandwich.
+
+"It does, but we have to share with the animals," Ben said, making his figure point to some figures of birds and squirrels.
+
+"OK, we can give them some crumbs and seeds," Sara said, making her figure break off some pieces of food and throw them to the animals.
+
+The animals figures came closer and nibbled on the food. Sara and Ben smiled and made happy noises.

+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. Sometimes they found shells, stones, or coins. But today they found something very special.
+
+"Look, Lila, look!" Ben shouted. He held up a shiny thing in his hand. It was small and bright and had many colors. "What is it?"
+
+Lila ran over to see. She gasped. "It's a diamond, Ben! A real diamond! It's so pretty!"
+
+They looked at the diamond with wonder. They had never seen anything like it before. They wondered where it came from and who lost it.
+
+"Maybe it fell from the sky," Ben said. "Maybe it's a star that came down to earth."
+
+"Maybe it belongs to a princess," Lila said. "Maybe she wore it on her crown and it slipped off."
+
+They imagined the princess who owned the diamond. They thought she must be very tall and beautiful and wear a long dress and a shiny crown. They wished they could meet her and give her back her diamond.
+
+"Hello, children," a voice said. They turned around and saw a lady standing behind them. She was tall and beautiful and wore a long dress and a shiny crown. She smiled at them.
+
+"Hello, lady," Lila and Ben said. They were surprised and a little scared.
+
+"Are you a princess?" Lila asked.
+
+"Yes, I am," the lady said. "And I'm looking for my diamond. I lost it in the park. Have you seen it?"
+
+Lila and Ben looked at each other. They looked at the diamond in Ben's hand. They felt sad to give it up, but they knew it was the right thing to do.
+
+"Yes, we have," Ben said. He held out the diamond to the lady. "Here it is. We found it in the sand. We're sorry we took it. We didn't know it was yours."
+
+The lady took the diamond and thanked them. She put it back on her crown. It sparkled in the sun.
+
+"You're very kind and honest, children," the lady said. "You deserve a reward. How about a ride in my carriage?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They were happy and excited. They followed the lady to her carriage. It was big and fancy and had horses and a driver. They climbed in and sat next to the lady. She waved to them and they waved back.

+
+Lily pressed some keys and made a loud noise. She laughed and pressed more keys. Ben did not laugh. He felt angry. He liked his piano and did not want Lily to make noise with it.
+
+He said to Lily, "Stop it! You are not a musician. You are just making noise. You are not playing the piano right."
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not mean to make Ben angry. She just wanted to have fun with him. She said to Ben, "I'm sorry, Ben. I did not know you did not like noise. I just wanted to play with you. Can we play something else?"
+
+Ben saw that Lily was sad. He felt sorry too. He did not want to hurt Lily's feelings. He remembered that his mom always encouraged him to be kind and share. He said to Lily, "I'm sorry too, Lily.

+
+One day, he went to visit his grandma. She was very old and had white hair. She loved Timmy very much and gave him cookies and milk. She also had a big book of stories that she read to him. Timmy enjoyed the stories and asked for more. But grandma said, "Timmy, it is time for your nap. You need to rest your eyes and your body. Napping is good for you. It will make you grow and learn better. And you will have more energy for playing later."
+
+Timmy did not listen to grandma. He said, "No, grandma, I don't want to nap. I want to hear more stories. Please, please, please." He begged and whined and cried. Grandma was patient and kind, but she was also tired. She said, "Timmy, please don't be rude. I need to nap too. I am old and I get sleepy easily. If you nap with me, I will read you more stories when we wake up. And maybe we can play a game or do a puzzle. How does that sound?"
+
+Timmy thought for a moment. He realized that grandma was not trying to spoil his fun. She was trying to help him and herself. He felt sorry for being mean to her. He said, "OK, grandma, I will nap with you. I love you and I want you to be happy. And I want to hear more stories and play with you later." He gave her a hug and a kiss and climbed into bed with her. They snuggled and closed their eyes.
+

+Ben gets angry. He grabs one of Will's favorite cars and runs away. He says, "I don't care. I want this car. It is so cool. I will make it zoom faster than yours."
+
+Will chases after him. He says, "No, give it back. That is my car. You can't take it. That is not nice."
+
+They run around the room, shouting and fighting over the car. They knock over the lamp, the books, and the vase. They make a big mess.
+
+Will's mom hears the noise and comes in. She sees the mess and the boys. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? Why are you making such a mess?"
+
+Will and Ben stop and look at her. They feel ashamed. They say, "Sorry, mom."
+
+Will's mom says, "You need to share and play nicely. Will, you have many cars. You can let Ben play with some of them. Ben, you can't take Will's car without asking. You need to respect his things. You both need to say sorry to each other and clean up the mess."
+
+Will and Ben say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They pick up the cars and the mess. They play with the cars together. They make them zoom and have fun. They are friends again.
+Jen and Ben were twins. They liked to do many things together, like play with toys, read books, and eat snacks. But they also liked to do some things differently. Jen liked to share and be nice, but Ben liked to spoil and be mean.
+
+One day, their mom said they could go to a special event at the park. There would be games, prizes, and balloons. Jen and Ben were very happy and excited. They put on their coats and hats and got ready to go.
+
+But Ben had a plan. He wanted to spoil the event for Jen. He thought it would be fun to make her sad and angry. He took a pin from his coat and hid it in his pocket. He smiled a sneaky smile.
+
+At the park, Jen and Ben ran to the balloon stand. They each got a big, colorful balloon. Jen got a pink one and Ben got a blue one. They thanked the nice lady who gave them the balloons.
+
+"Look at my balloon, Jen!" Ben said. "It's so big and round and pretty. Do you like it?"
+
+"Yes, Ben, I like your balloon. And I like mine too. It's so big and round and pretty. Do you like it?" Jen said.
+
+Ben pretended to like Jen's balloon. But he really didn't. He wanted to spoil it. He waited for the right moment. When Jen was looking at the games, he took out his pin and popped her balloon. BANG!
+
+Jen was shocked and scared. She turned around and saw her balloon in pieces. She saw Ben holding the pin and laughing. She felt very sad and angry. She started to cry.
+
+"Ben, why did you do that? You spoiled my balloon! You spoiled the event! You are so mean!" Jen said.
+
+Ben stopped laughing. He saw Jen crying. He saw the other kids looking at him. He saw his mom coming. He felt very bad and sorry. He realized he had made a big mistake. He wished he had been nice like Jen.
+
+"Jen, I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that. I was trying to be funny, but it was not funny. It was mean. Can you forgive me?" Ben said.
+
+Jen looked at Ben. She saw he was sorry. She remembered he was her twin. She loved him, even when he was mean. She decided to forgive him.
+
+"Ben, I forgive you. But don't ever do that again. It's not nice to spoil things for others. It's nice to share and be happy. Can we still be friends?" Jen said.
+
+Ben nodded. He hugged Jen. He gave her his balloon. He said he was sorry to the nice lady and the other kids. He said he wanted to share and be happy. He learned his lesson.
+
+Mom came and saw Jen and Ben hugging and smiling. She was proud of them. She said they could still enjoy the event. They played games, won prizes, and got new balloons. They had a lot of fun. They had a regular day.
+Lily and Ben went to the store with Mom. They liked to look at the toys on the shelf. There were many toys: dolls, cars, balls, books and more.
+
+"Can I have this?" Lily asked Mom, holding a pink doll. "It has a dress and a hat and a bag."
+
+Mom looked at the doll and smiled. "That is a nice doll, Lily. But we are not here to buy toys. We are here to buy food. We need bread and milk and eggs and cheese."
+
+Lily put the doll back on the shelf. She felt sad. She wanted the doll very much.
+
+Ben saw a long train on the shelf. It had many cars and a whistle. He liked trains. He took the train and ran to Mom.
+
+"Look, Mom, look!" Ben said. "A long train! Can I have it? Please, please, please!"
+
+Mom looked at the train and shook her head. "That is a cool train, Ben. But we are not here to buy toys. We are here to buy food. We need apples and bananas and carrots and peas."
+
+Ben put the train back on the shelf. He felt angry. He wanted the train very much.
+
+Lily and Ben followed Mom to the food shelf. They helped Mom put the food in the cart. They saw bread and milk and eggs and cheese. They saw apples and bananas and carrots and peas.
+
+Mom saw Lily and Ben were not happy. She hugged them and said, "I know you want the toys, my loves. But we have enough toys at home. We need food to eat and grow and be healthy. Maybe next time we can buy a toy, if you are good and save your money."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They understood Mom. They loved Mom. They still wanted the toys, but they knew food was important too. They smiled and said, "OK, Mom. We love you."
+Tom and Jen were friends. They liked to play in the land near their home. The land had many trees and flowers and animals. Tom and Jen liked to climb the trees and pick the flowers and watch the animals.
+
+One day, they saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside the hole. They went to the tree and looked in the hole. They saw a shiny thing. It was a coin. Tom and Jen wanted the coin. They both reached for it.
+
+But the coin was stuck in the hole. Tom and Jen pulled and pulled, but the coin did not come out. They started to fight. They said, "It is mine!" and "No, it is mine!" They pulled harder and harder.
+
+Then, something bad happened. The tree was old and weak. It could not hold Tom and Jen and the coin. The tree split in half. Tom and Jen fell down with the tree. They hit the ground hard. They were hurt. They cried.
+
+The coin rolled out of the hole. It was not shiny anymore. It was dirty and bent. It was not worth anything. Tom and Jen lost the coin and their friend. They were sad and alone.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They are adventurous and try new things. One day, they see a big slide in the park. It is shiny and red and very high.
+
+"Wow, look at that slide!" Lily says. "Let's go on it!"
+
+Ben nods and follows Lily. They climb up the stairs and wait for their turn. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and pushes herself down. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and shouts, "This is fun!"
+
+Ben watches Lily and smiles. He wants to have fun too. He sits on the slide and pushes himself down. But he goes too fast and feels scared. He screams and closes his eyes. He bumps into Lily at the bottom and falls on the grass.
+
+"Ouch!" Ben says. "That hurt!"
+
+Lily gets up and hugs Ben. She sees that he is crying and has a scratch on his knee. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben sniffles and nods. He says, "I'm okay. But I don't like that slide. It is too high and too fast."
+
+Lily says, "That's okay, Ben. You don't have to like it. You can play something else. You are still my best friend."
+
+Ben smiles and hugs Lily back. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are my best friend too. Can we play on the swings?"
+
+Lily says, "Sure, Ben. Let's go on the swings. They are fun and relaxing. And you have a cool style on the swings. You can swing very high and very low."
+
+Ben says, "Yes, I do. And you have a cool style too. You can swing sideways and backwards."
+
+They run to the swings and have fun. They are adventurous and try new things. But they also know how to relax and enjoy their style. They are happy and they are best friends.
+Tommy was an adventurous boy. He liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, he saw a big door in the park. He wondered what was behind it. He ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice said. Tommy turned around and saw a girl with curly hair and a red dress. She was holding a ball.
+
+"I want to see what's in there," Tommy said, pointing to the door.
+
+"That's my secret place. You can't go in there," the girl said. She was angry.
+
+"Why not? It's a public park. I can go wherever I want," Tommy said. He was stubborn.
+
+"No, you can't. It's mine. Go away," the girl said. She threw her ball at Tommy. It hit him in the face.
+
+"Ow! That hurt!" Tommy said. He was mad. He picked up the ball and kicked it hard. It flew back to the girl and hit her in the stomach.
+
+"Ow! That hurt!" the girl said. She was sad. She dropped the ball and held her stomach.
+
+Tommy felt sorry for the girl. He realized he was wrong. He walked to the girl and said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kicked your ball. Are you okay?"
+
+The girl looked at Tommy and said, "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have thrown my ball at you. I'm okay."
+
+Tommy smiled and said, "Can we be friends?"
+
+The girl smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Do you want to see my secret place?"
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, I do."
+
+The girl took Tommy's hand and led him to the door. She took out a key from her pocket and unlocked it. She opened the door and said, "Come on, let's go inside."
+
+Tommy followed the girl and saw a beautiful garden with flowers, trees, and animals. He was amazed.
+
+"Wow, this is your secret place? It's awesome!" Tommy said.
+
+"Thank you. I like to come here and play. Do you want to play with me?" the girl said.
+
+"Yes, I do. What's your name?" Tommy said.
+
+"My name is Lily. What's yours?" the girl said.
+
+"My name is Tommy. Nice to meet you, Lily," Tommy said.
+
+"Nice to meet you too, Tommy. Come on, let's have fun," Lily said.
+
+They played together in the garden and had a great time. They learned to share and respect each other. They became good friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be rude or mean to others. Be kind and curious. You might find a new friend and a new adventure.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their cars on the floor. Tom had a big red car and Lily had a small blue car. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm the fastest car in the world!" Tom said, zooming his car around.
+
+"Beep, beep, let me pass, you're too slow!" Lily said, trying to catch up with Tom.
+
+They came to a corner where they had to turn. Tom did not want to yield and let Lily go first. He wanted to be the leader. He pushed his car hard and bumped into Lily's car.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair! You hit me!" Lily cried, holding her car.
+
+"Too bad, I'm the boss! You have to yield to me!" Tom said, laughing.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's attitude. She thought he was rude and mean. She decided to teach him a lesson. She waited for the next turn and then used her car to hit Tom's car back.
+
+"Ow, that hurt! Why did you do that?" Tom shouted, dropping his car.
+
+"Now you know how I feel! You have to yield sometimes, you can't always be the boss!" Lily said, crossing her arms.
+
+Tom looked at his car and saw that it was broken. The wheel was loose and the paint was scratched. He felt sorry and weak. He realized that he had been selfish and wrong.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. You're right, I should have yielded to you. I was not a good friend. Can you forgive me?" Tom said, picking up his car.
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She saw that Tom was sincere and regretful. She forgave him and handed him her car.
+
+"Here, you can play with my car. It's not broken. Maybe we can share and take turns. That way, we can both have fun and be happy." Lily said, offering her car.
+
+Tom thanked Lily and hugged her. He learned his lesson and promised to be more respectful and kind. They played together with their cars and became good friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should yield sometimes and not always be the boss. Sharing and taking turns is better than fighting and hurting others.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big dog with a funny hat. The dog was with a man who had a cup of coffee.
+
+"Look, mom, a dog with a hat!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, that's a very silly hat. Maybe the man is joking with the dog," mom said.
+
+Max wanted to pet the dog. He was brave and ran to the man.
+
+"Hello, can I pet your dog?" Max asked.
+
+The man smiled and said, "Sure, his name is Spot. He likes to wear hats. He thinks it's a joke."
+
+Max petted Spot and laughed. Spot licked Max's face and wagged his tail.
+
+Lily joined them and said, "Hi, Spot. You have a nice hat. Can I try it?"
+
+The man said, "Okay, but be careful. It's my coffee hat. I drink coffee from it."
+
+He took off the hat and gave it to Lily. Lily put it on her head. It was big and brown. She felt something warm and wet on her hair.
+
+"Oops, there's still some coffee in the hat. Sorry, Lily," the man said.
+
+Lily took off the hat and giggled. She was not mad. She said, "That's okay. It was a funny joke. You and Spot are very funny."
+
+Mom came and gave Lily a napkin. She said, "Let's clean your hair, Lily. And then we can have some juice and cookies."
+
+Lily and Max said goodbye to the man and Spot. They thanked them for the joke. They went to have some juice and cookies with mom. They were happy and had fun.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to play in the woods. She had a red coat and a big basket. She wanted to find some flowers for her grandma.
+
+One day, she saw a fox in the woods. The fox was brown and had a long tail. He looked at Lila and smiled. He said, "Hello, little girl. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lila was scared of the fox. She had heard that foxes were bad and liked to eat little girls. She said, "No, thank you. I have to go to my grandma's house."
+
+The fox did not like that. He wanted to trick Lila and get her basket. He said, "But I know a shortcut to your grandma's house. Follow me and I will show you."
+
+Lila did not trust the fox. She said, "No, thank you. I know the way." She ran away from the fox and followed the path.
+
+The fox was angry. He ran after Lila and tried to catch her. He said, "Stop, little girl. Give me your basket or I will bite you."
+
+Lila was very scared. She screamed and cried. She cried very loud. She hoped that someone would hear her and help her.
+
+A woodcutter was nearby. He heard Lila's loud cry. He saw the fox chasing her. He took his axe and ran to Lila. He said, "Go away, fox. Leave the little girl alone."
+
+The fox saw the woodcutter and his axe. He was afraid of the woodcutter. He said, "Sorry, sorry. I was only joking. I don't want the basket." He ran away and hid in the woods.
+
+Lila was happy. She thanked the woodcutter and gave him a hug. She said, "You are very brave and kind. You saved me from the fox."
+
+The woodcutter smiled and said, "You are very smart and brave too. You did not listen to the fox. You followed the path. Now go to your grandma's house and be careful."
+
+Lila nodded and said, "I will. Thank you again." She took her basket and walked to her grandma's house. She gave her grandma the flowers and told her the story. Her grandma hugged her and said, "I am very proud of you, Lila. You are a good girl."
+Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, they saw a big purse in the park. It was shiny and had many colors. Sara and Lily wanted the purse.
+
+"Let's take it home," Sara said. "It is so pretty."
+
+"But maybe it belongs to someone else," Lily said. "We should not take things that are not ours."
+
+Sara did not listen. She grabbed the purse and ran away. Lily followed her. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky.
+
+Soon, it started to rain. The rain was heavy and cold. Sara and Lily got wet and muddy. The purse got wet and muddy too. The shiny colors faded away. The purse was not pretty anymore.
+
+Sara and Lily felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not taken the purse. They wished they had listened to Lily. They decided to go back to the park and return the purse.
+
+When they got to the park, they saw a lady looking for something. She was crying. She had lost her purse. It was a special purse that her grandma had given her. It was different from other purses.
+
+Sara and Lily gave the purse back to the lady. They said they were sorry for taking it. They said they learned their lesson. The lady was happy and grateful. She hugged them and thanked them. She said she forgave them. She said they were brave and honest.
+
+Sara and Lily felt happy and proud. They learned that it is wrong to take things that are not theirs. They learned that different things can be special and precious. They learned that being sorry and being honest can make things better. They learned that being friends means listening and caring. They went home with a smile. The rain stopped and the sun came out.

+
+One day, Tom is very thirsty. He wants to drink some water. He goes to the kitchen. He sees a big bottle of water on the table. He tries to lift it, but it is too heavy. He is weak. He cannot drink the water.
+
+He sees his mom in the living room. She is reading a book. He runs to her and says, "Mom, I want to drink water, but the bottle is too heavy. I am weak. Can you help me?"

+
+His mom says, "Yes, you can. But don't forget to drink more water later. Water is good for you. It makes you healthy and happy."

+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the train set the best. They made the train go around the track and make noises.
+
+"Choo choo!" said Ben, holding the engine.
+
+"Beep beep!" said Lily, holding the caboose.
+
+They were having fun, but they did not notice that they made a big mess. The toys were everywhere, and the track was broken.
+
+"Ben, Lily, time for lunch!" called Mom from the kitchen.
+
+"OK, Mom!" they said, and ran to the table.
+
+But Mom was not happy when she saw the living room. She saw the toys and the track and the mess.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "This is not tidy at all. You have to clean up your toys before you eat."
+
+"But Mom, we were playing!" said Ben.
+
+"We like the train!" said Lily.
+
+"I know, but you have to put your toys away when you are done. That is the rule. And you have to fix the track. You broke the left part. It does not work now." said Mom.
+
+"Sorry, Mom." said Ben and Lily.
+
+They went back to the living room and started to clean up. They picked up the toys and put them in the box. They fixed the track and made it whole again. They worked together and made the living room tidy.
+
+"Good job, Ben and Lily!" said Mom, when she saw them. "You are very helpful. Now you can have lunch."
+
+"Thank you, Mom!" said Ben and Lily.
+
+They hugged Mom and went to the table. They were hungry and happy. They liked the train, but they also liked to be tidy.
+Tommy loved to grow things. He had a small garden in the backyard, where he planted seeds and watered them every day. He liked to watch the flowers and vegetables grow bigger and bigger.
+
+One day, he found a big box on the porch. It had his name on it. He was very excited. He opened the box and saw a lot of dirt and a small green plant. There was a note that said: "To Tommy, from Grandma. This is a gifted plant. It will grow very fast and give you something special. Take good care of it."
+
+Tommy was happy. He thanked Grandma on the phone and took the box to his garden. He dug a hole and put the plant in it. He watered it and waited.
+
+The next day, he went to check on his gifted plant. He was amazed. The plant had grown very tall and had big purple flowers. He smelled them and they smelled sweet. He saw something shiny in the middle of the flowers. He reached for it and pulled out a necklace. It had a silver heart with his name on it.
+
+"Wow!" he said. "This is the best gift ever! Thank you, gifted plant!"
+
+He ran to show his mom and dad. They were proud of him and hugged him. They said he was a gifted gardener.
+
+But not everyone was happy. Billy, the boy next door, was jealous. He saw Tommy's gifted plant and wanted it for himself. He waited until Tommy was inside and sneaked into his garden. He tried to pull out the plant, but it was too strong. He got angry and kicked it. He broke some of the flowers and the necklace fell off.
+
+"Ha!" he said. "Now it's mine!"
+
+He grabbed the necklace and ran away. He didn't see that the plant was angry too. It shook and made a loud noise. It grew bigger and bigger, until it reached over the fence. It stretched out its vines and grabbed Billy. It pulled him back and wrapped him in its leaves.
+
+"Help!" Billy screamed. "Let me go!"
+
+Tommy heard the noise and came out. He saw what the plant had done and was shocked. He felt sorry for Billy, even though he was mean. He went to the plant and said: "Please, gifted plant, let Billy go. He was wrong, but he is sorry. He will give back the necklace and say sorry to me too."
+
+The plant listened to Tommy and calmed down. It let Billy go and gave him the necklace. Billy was scared and ashamed. He gave the necklace back to Tommy and said: "I'm sorry, Tommy. I was greedy and mean. Your plant is amazing and you are a good gardener. Can we be friends?"
+
+Tommy smiled and said: "Yes, we can be friends. But you have to be nice to my plant and to me. And maybe you can grow your own plant too. I can give you some seeds and help you."
+
+Billy nodded and said: "Thank you, Tommy. That would be nice."
+
+They hugged and went to play. The plant was happy too. It smiled and made more flowers. It was a gifted plant and it had a gifted friend.
+Ben and Lily were playing near the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They also liked to look for fish and frogs and bugs.
+
+One day, they saw a big duck swimming in the river. It had white feathers and a yellow beak. Ben and Lily wanted to pet the duck. They ran to the edge of the water and called out, "Duck, duck, come here!"
+
+The duck heard them and swam closer. It looked at them with its black eyes and quacked. Ben and Lily smiled and reached out their hands. But the duck did not like that. It bit Ben's finger and Lily's hair. It flapped its wings and splashed water on them. It quacked louder and louder.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared and hurt. They cried and ran away from the duck. They found their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. They hugged them and told them what happened.

+
+Ben and Lily felt better and said, "Thank you, mom and dad. We are sorry we bothered the duck. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom and dad said, "It's okay, sweeties. You didn't know the duck would be angry. You were just curious and friendly. But next time, be careful and don't touch the animals without asking. They might be scared or hurt you."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, mom and dad. We love you."
+
+Mom and dad said, "We love you too, Ben and Lily. You are good kids. Don't be ashamed of what happened. It was a mistake. We can still have fun by the river. Just watch the duck from far away and enjoy the sun and the breeze."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom and dad. We will do that. The river is still beautiful and fun."
+
+They all hugged and kissed and went back to the river. They saw the duck swimming away. They waved at it and said, "Bye, duck. Sorry for making you mad. Have a nice day."
+
+The duck quacked and nodded and swam on. Ben and Lily learned a lesson and had a good time by the river.

+
+Lily took her rocket to her room. She put on a helmet and a suit. She said, "I am an astronaut. I am going to space." She put her rocket on the floor and climbed inside. She made a beep sound and said, "Ready for launch."

+Anna says, "No, Ben, I am not a thief. I find the ring. It is mine. You are a meanie. Go away."
+
+Ben says, "No, Anna, you are a meanie. You are selfish. You do not share. I will tell Mommy. She will be angry."
+
+Anna says, "No, Ben, do not tell Mommy. She will take the ring away. It is my ring. I love it. Please, Ben, do not tell."
+
+Ben says, "OK, Anna, I will not tell. But you have to share the ring with me. We can take turns to wear it. And we have to hide it well. No one can see it. It is our secret."
+
+Anna says, "OK, Ben, I will share the ring with you. We can be king and queen from history. But we have to be careful. The ring is hidden. It is our secret."

+
+"Of course, honey. You can nap on the couch," Mom says.
+
+She brings them a blanket and a pillow. She tucks them in and kisses them.

+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with coins. They had a big jar of coins that they found in the street, in the park, or in their dad's pockets. Some coins were shiny and some were dull. Some coins were big and some were small. Some coins were silver and some were copper.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam decided to play a game with their coins. They took turns picking a coin from the jar and guessing what it was worth. If they guessed right, they kept the coin. If they guessed wrong, they gave it to the other brother. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot about coins.
+
+But then, Tom found a very special coin. It was bigger than any other coin, and it was shiny and gold. Tom was very excited and showed it to Sam.
+
+"Wow, what a cool coin!" Sam said. "How much do you think it is worth?"
+
+Tom thought hard. He remembered that gold was the most valuable thing in the world. He remembered that his dad had a gold ring that he never took off. He remembered that his mom had a gold necklace that she only wore on special days. He decided that the coin must be worth a lot.
+
+"I think it is worth a hundred dollars!" Tom said proudly.
+
+Sam was amazed. He had never seen a hundred dollars before. He wondered what he could buy with a hundred dollars. He wanted the coin very much. He had an idea.
+
+"Tom, that coin is too big for you. You can't put it in your pocket or your piggy bank. It will get lost or stolen. Why don't you trade it with me? I have a lot of smaller coins that are easier to keep. I will give you ten copper coins for your gold coin. That's a fair deal, right?"
+
+Tom looked at Sam's coins. They were dull and brown. They looked boring and old. He didn't want them. He wanted his gold coin. He shook his head.
+
+"No, Sam. I like my gold coin. It is shiny and pretty. It is worth a lot. I don't want your copper coins. They are not worth much. They are fake."
+
+Sam was angry. He thought Tom was being greedy and silly. He wanted to trick him and take his gold coin. He grabbed the coin from Tom's hand and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Tom shouted. He chased after Sam.
+
+They ran around the house, fighting and yelling. They knocked over the jar of coins and spilled them everywhere. They bumped into the table and knocked over a lamp. They made a big mess and a lot of noise.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was going on. She saw the coins, the lamp, and the boys. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting? What is that coin?"
+
+She picked up the gold coin and looked at it. She saw that it had a picture of a pirate and a skull on it. She saw that it had the words "FAKE GOLD" on the edge. She realized that it was not a real coin, but a toy.
+
+She showed it to the boys and explained that it was not worth anything. It was just a fake coin that someone had made for fun. It was not gold, but plastic. It was not shiny, but painted. It was not valuable, but worthless.
+
+The boys were shocked and ashamed. They had fought over a fake coin. They had made a big mess and a lot of noise. They had been foolish and rude.
+
+They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They helped her clean up the coins and the lamp. They put the fake coin back in the jar. They decided to play a different game with their coins. They decided to settle their differences and share their coins. They learned a lesson about coins and about brothers.

+
+Mom and Anna go outside. It is very hot. The sun is bright and the air is warm. Mom says, "Let's go to the car, Anna. It is too hot to walk." Anna says, "OK, Mom."
+
+Mom and Anna rush to the car. They run fast. Mom opens the door and puts the cart in the trunk. She says, "Get in, Anna. It is cooler inside." Anna says, "OK, Mom."
+
+Anna gets in the car. She looks for her purse. She likes her purse. It is pink and has a flower on it. She puts her toys and books and candy in her purse. She says, "Mom, where is my purse?" Mom says, "Oh no, did you leave it in the store?" Anna says, "I don't know, Mom. I want my purse."
+
+Mom says, "Don't worry, Anna. We will go back to the store and find your purse. Maybe the lady at the desk has it. She is very nice. She will give it back to you." Anna says, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom. I love you, Mom." Mom says, "I love you too, Anna. Let's go."
+Tom was sad. He had to go to the hospital. He did not like the hospital. It was big and loud and scary. He did not want to see the doctor. He did not want to get a shot.
+
+He had an idea. He would hide. He would hide under his bed. He would hide under his blanket. He would hide under his pillow. He would hide so well that no one would find him. He would hide until it was time to go home.
+
+But his mom saw him. She saw his feet sticking out. She saw his teddy bear next to him. She saw his new book on the floor. She smiled. She knew he was hiding. She pulled back the blanket. She said, "Hello, Tom. I found you."
+
+Tom was surprised. He was not happy. He said, "Mom, I don't want to go to the hospital. I don't want to see the doctor. I don't want to get a shot."
+
+His mom hugged him. She said, "I know, Tom. I know you are scared. But the doctor is nice. He will help you feel better. He will give you a sticker and a lollipop. He will not hurt you. And I will be with you. I will hold your hand. I will read you your new book. I will not leave you."
+
+Tom looked at his mom. He looked at his teddy bear. He looked at his new book. He felt a little better. He said, "Okay, Mom. I will go to the hospital. I will see the doctor. I will get a shot. But can we hide again when we get home?"
+
+His mom laughed. She said, "Yes, Tom. We can hide again when we get home. But first, let's go to the hospital. Come on, Tom. Let's go."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to pour water on the flowers and on each other. They laughed and splashed and had fun.
+
+But then they saw a big cloud of smoke in the sky. It was coming from the mountain. The mountain was angry and spitting fire and rocks. The smoke was dark and scary. It made the sun go away. It made the air smell bad.
+
+"Look, Tom, look!" Lily said, pointing at the sky. "What is that?"
+
+Tom felt fearful. He did not like the smoke. He did not like the noise. He did not like the fire. He wanted to go inside. He wanted to be safe.
+
+"That is ash, Lily," Tom said. "Ash is what is left when something burns. The mountain is burning and sending ash everywhere. We have to go inside. Now!"
+
+Tom grabbed Lily's hand and ran to the house. They left the bucket and the cups behind. They did not care about them anymore. They only cared about getting away from the ash. They hoped the mountain would stop being angry soon. They hoped the sun would come back. They hoped the garden would be okay.
+Tom has a pet fish. He likes to watch his fish swim in the bowl. He likes to feed his fish every day. He likes to count his fish. He has one, two, three fish.
+
+One day, Tom sees something wrong. One of his fish is not swimming. It is floating on the water. It is not moving. It is not eating. Tom is sad. He thinks his fish is dead.
+
+Tom runs to his mom. He tells her what he sees. He says, "Mom, mom, one of my fish is dead!" Mom hugs Tom. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Sometimes fish die. It is not your fault. You are a good pet owner."
+
+Mom helps Tom take the dead fish out of the bowl. She says, "We can bury the fish in the garden. We can say goodbye to the fish. We can thank the fish for being a good pet." Tom nods. He says, "Okay, mom. I will miss my fish. But I still have two fish. I will take good care of them."
+
+Tom and mom go to the garden. They dig a small hole. They put the dead fish in the hole. They cover it with dirt. They say a prayer. They say, "Goodbye, fish. We love you. We hope you are happy in fish heaven." Tom feels a little better. He says, "Bye, fish. You were a good pet. I will count you in my heart."
+Ben likes to play with his toy cars. He has a red car, a blue car, and a yellow car. He makes them zoom and crash on the floor. He pretends they are in a race.
+
+One day, he sees a new car on the shelf. It is a big green car with a star on the side. It is a hero car. Ben wants to play with it. He asks his mom if he can have it.
+
+Mom says, "No, Ben. That is not your car. That is your brother's car. He got it for his birthday. You have to be careful with it. You can only play with it if he lets you."
+
+Ben nods. He repeats what mom says. "Not my car. Brother's car. Birthday car. Careful car. Play if he lets me."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Good, Ben. You are a good listener. Maybe your brother will share with you later. But now, it is time for lunch. Come and wash your hands."
+
+Ben puts down his toy cars. He follows mom to the kitchen. He hopes his brother will share his hero car with him. He thinks it is the best car ever.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to visit their grandma and grandpa. Grandma and grandpa live in a big house with a big garden. They have many photos of their family and friends on the walls.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben see a new photo on the wall. It is a photo of grandma and grandpa with a big animal. The animal has long hair, big horns and a funny nose. It looks wild.
+
+"Who is that?" Anna asks, pointing at the photo.
+
+"That is a yak," grandma says. "We met him when we visited the mountains. He was very friendly and let us pet him."
+
+"A yak?" Ben repeats. "What is a yak?"
+
+"A yak is a kind of cow that lives in cold places. He has thick fur to keep him warm. He can carry heavy things on his back. He likes to eat grass and hay," grandpa explains.
+
+"Wow, a yak is cool!" Anna says. "Can we visit him too?"
+
+"Maybe someday, when you are older," grandma says. "But for now, you can look at the photo and imagine what it is like to visit the mountains and see a yak."
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They like to visit their grandma and grandpa. They like to see their photos and hear their stories. They like to learn new things and have fun. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But their mom was working on her laptop in the kitchen. She needed some quiet to finish her work.
+
+"Tom, Mia, can you please relax and play quietly?" she asked them. "Mommy has to work and she can't hear herself think."
+
+"Okay, Mommy," Tom and Mia said. But they soon forgot and started to make noises again. They roared like lions, barked like dogs, and squeaked like mice.
+
+Mommy got very annoyed. She closed her laptop and walked into the living room. She saw Tom and Mia with their toys all over the floor. She was not happy.
+
+"Tom, Mia, how many times do I have to tell you to relax and play quietly?" she scolded them. "You are making too much noise and you are making a mess. You need to stop right now and clean up your toys. And then you need to go to your room and take a nap."
+
+Tom and Mia did not like that. They did not want to stop playing. They did not want to clean up their toys. They did not want to take a nap. They were not tired. They were hungry.
+
+"But Mommy, we are hungry," they whined. "We want a snack. We want some cookies and milk."
+
+Mommy sighed. She knew they were hungry. She had planned to give them a snack after she finished her work. But they had not let her work. She had a choice to make. She could be strict and send them to their room, or she could be nice and give them a snack.
+
+She decided to be nice. She loved her children and she wanted them to be happy. She also wanted them to be quiet.
+
+"Okay, okay," she said. "You can have a snack. But only if you promise to relax and play quietly after that. And you have to clean up your toys first. Deal?"
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They were glad. They quickly cleaned up their toys and followed Mommy to the kitchen. They got some cookies and milk and sat at the table. They ate their snack and thanked Mommy. They felt full and happy.
+
+Mommy smiled. She was glad too. She hoped they would keep their promise and relax and play quietly. She went back to her laptop and opened it. She hoped she could finish her work.
+
+But she did not notice that Tom and Mia had left some crumbs on the floor. And she did not see that their cat, Fluffy, had smelled the crumbs and was sneaking into the kitchen.

+"Can I have a big piece?" Tom asked. He liked sausage a lot.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Lily said. She wanted to try the new sausage.
+
+Mom cut the sausage into pieces. She gave one piece to Tom and one piece to Lily. She said, "Be careful, it is hot. And don't forget to say thank you."
+
+Tom and Lily took their pieces and blew on them. They smelled good. They took a bite. They made a face.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom said. "This sausage is spicy. It hurts my mouth."
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. "This sausage is sour. It makes my tongue twist."
+
+They did not like the new sausage. They wanted to spit it out. But they remembered what Mom said. They did not want to be rude. They tried to manage. They swallowed the sausage.
+
+Mom saw their faces. She smiled. She said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I wanted to surprise you with a new sausage. But I guess you prefer the old one. It's okay. You don't have to eat it. I'm proud of you for being polite and brave."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged Mom. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. And we love the old sausage. Can we have some, please?"
+
+Mom nodded. She said, "Of course. I have some in the fridge. Let me get it for you."

The man smiled and said, "I have a big shop where I sell toys. Do you want to sell me your robot? I can give you a lot of money for it."
+
+Tom felt troubled. He did not want to sell Robby. He loved Robby. But he also wanted to make his dad happy. He looked at his dad and saw that he nodded. He looked at Robby and saw that it blinked. He did not know what to do.
+
+He said to the man, "I don't want to sell Robby. He is my friend. Can you sell me another toy instead?" The man frowned and said, "No, I only want Robby. He is very special. I can give you more money for him."
+
+Tom felt more troubled. He did not want more money. He wanted Robby. He said to the man, "No, thank you. Robby is not for sale. He is mine. Please go away." The man got angry and said, "Fine, be that way. You are a silly boy. You don't know how to make a good deal." He left in a hurry.
+
+Tom hugged Robby and said, "I'm sorry, Robby. I hope you are not mad at me. I don't want to lose you." Robby beeped and said, "I'm not mad, Tom. I'm happy. You are my best friend.

+
+The boy does not listen. He pulls Zero harder and harder. Sara feels Zero slipping from her hand. She does not want to lose Zero. She thinks fast and does something brave. She throws Zero in the air, over the boy's head. Zero flies high and lands on the other side of the slide.
+
+Sara slides down quickly and runs to Zero. She picks him up and hugs him. She says, "Zero, are you okay? I'm sorry I threw you. I love you." Zero smiles and says, "I'm okay, Sara. I love you too. You are a good friend."

+Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, towers and more with their blocks. Sometimes they attach blocks together with glue or tape, so they do not fall apart.
+
+One day, they decide to make a giant tower with all their blocks. They start to attach blocks on the floor, then on the table, then on the chair. They want to make the tower as high as they can. They use glue and tape to make the blocks stick.
+
+But they run out of blocks before they reach the ceiling. They look around and see a clear jar on the shelf. The jar is big and round and has a lid. They think it will be a good top for their tower. They ask their mom if they can use the jar. She says yes, but be careful.
+
+They climb on the chair and reach for the jar. They lift it carefully and try to attach it to the top of their tower. But the jar is heavy and slippery. It slips from their hands and falls to the floor. It breaks into many pieces. The tower shakes and falls down too. The blocks scatter everywhere.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They hear their mom coming. They say sorry for making a mess. Their mom is not angry. She hugs them and says it is okay. She says they can clean up the mess together. She says they are very creative and brave, but next time they should not use glass jars for their tower. She says they can use plastic cups or paper cones instead. Lily and Ben nod and smile. They love their mom and their blocks. They still want to make a giant tower, but they will be more careful next time.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play pretend and dress up. One day, they decided to put on a show for their parents. They found some costumes and props in the attic and set up a stage in the living room.
+
+Ben wanted to be a pirate and Mia wanted to be a princess. They made up a story about how they met on a ship and had to fight a sea monster. They practiced their lines and actions until they were ready.
+
+"Are you excited, Mia?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, Ben. I think we are very good actors," Mia said.
+
+They heard their parents coming downstairs. They ran to the stage and waited for them to sit down. They smiled and bowed and started their show.
+

+"Hello, sir. I am Princess Mia, the fairest princess in the land!" Mia said in a sweet voice.
+
+They pretended to sail on the ship and talk to each other. They were having fun and their parents were clapping and laughing.
+
+But then, something went wrong. Ben forgot his next line. He tried to remember, but he couldn't. He felt nervous and scared. He looked at Mia, hoping she would help him.
+
+But Mia was ignorant. She didn't notice that Ben was stuck. She thought he was just pausing for effect. She kept saying her lines and acting.
+
+"Look, there is the sea monster! It is big and scary and has many teeth!" Mia said, pointing to a stuffed animal.
+
+Ben didn't know what to do. He wanted to remind Mia that it was his turn to speak, but he didn't want to ruin the show. He felt angry and sad. He wished Mia would pay attention to him.
+
+He decided to improvise. He grabbed the stuffed animal and threw it at Mia.
+
+"Take that, you beast! I will save the princess!" Ben shouted.
+
+Mia was surprised and hurt. She didn't expect Ben to throw the sea monster at her. She felt the toy hit her face and make her cry.
+
+"Ow, Ben! Why did you do that? You are mean and rude!" Mia sobbed.
+
+Their parents were shocked and confused. They didn't understand what was happening. They got up and went to the stage to comfort Mia and scold Ben.
+
+Ben and Mia stopped their show. They realized they had made a big mistake. They felt sorry and ashamed. They apologized to each other and to their parents.

+Mia loved her pony, Spot. He was brown and white and had a long mane. Mia liked to brush his hair and feed him carrots. But Spot was lonely. He had no other ponies to play with. He wanted to run and jump and zoom with his friends.

+One day, Mia saw a big truck on the road. It had a picture of a pony on it. Mia ran to the truck and asked the driver, "What is in there?"
+
+The driver smiled and said, "I have some ponies for the farm. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Mia nodded and followed the driver. He opened the back of the truck and Mia saw four ponies. They were different colors and sizes. They looked happy and excited.
+
+Mia said, "Wow, they are so pretty! Can I pet them?"
+
+The driver said, "Sure, but be careful. They are not used to people."
+
+Mia reached out her hand and touched one of the ponies. It was soft and warm. It nuzzled her and made a noise. Mia giggled and said, "Hello, pony. What is your name?"
+
+The driver said, "That one is Star. She is the leader of the group. She likes to zoom and race."
+
+Mia said, "She sounds like fun. Can she be friends with my pony, Spot?"
+
+The driver said, "Maybe. Do you have a place for them to stay?"
+
+Mia said, "Yes, I have a big yard and a barn. Spot lives there. He is lonely. He needs friends."
+
+The driver said, "Well, how about this? I can bring Star and the other ponies to your yard and see if they get along. If they do, you can keep them. If they don't, I can take them back. How does that sound?"
+
+Mia said, "That sounds great! Thank you, mister. Come on, Spot. Let's go meet your new friends."
+
+Mia ran to the barn and got Spot. He was curious and happy. He followed Mia to the truck. He saw the other ponies and sniffed them. They sniffed him back. They started to run and jump and zoom together. Mia clapped and cheered. She was happy for Spot. He was not lonely anymore. He had friends.

+
+"Wait, wait!" Lily and Ben shout. "We want to see you!"
+
+One clown hears them and stops. He has a red nose, a blue wig, and a yellow suit. He smiles and waves at them.
+
+"Hello, little ones!" he says. "Did you miss the show?"
+
+"Yes, we did," Lily says. "We were racing and we didn't see the time."
+
+"That's too bad," the clown says. "But don't be upset. I have a surprise for you."
+
+He reaches into his pocket and pulls out two balloons. He blows them up and twists them into shapes. He gives one to Lily and one to Ben.
+
+"Look, look!" he says. "I made you a dog and a cat. Do you like them?"
+
+Lily and Ben are very happy. They hug the clown and thank him.
+
+"We love them!" they say. "You are the best clown ever!"
+
+The clown laughs and hugs them back.
+
+"You are very welcome," he says. "And you are the best racers ever. Now, go and have fun. And don't forget to smile!"

+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big log near the pond. They wanted to climb on it and pretend it was a boat.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go to the log!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful. The log might be wet and slippery," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the log and tried to climb on it. But the log was not just wet, it was soaked. It had been raining a lot and the pond was full of water. The log was floating in the pond and it was very dirty.
+
+"Yuck, this log is disgusting!" Tom said. "It has mud and bugs and leaves on it. And it smells bad."
+
+"Let's get off, Tom. I don't like this log. It's not a good boat," Lily said.
+
+They jumped off the log and ran back to the grass. They were soaked too. Their clothes and shoes and hair were wet and dirty.
+
+"Look at us, Lily. We are disgusting too!" Tom said.
+
+They laughed and hugged each other. They didn't mind being disgusting. They had fun playing in the park. They went to find their mom and dad and told them about their adventure. Their mom and dad smiled and gave them a towel and a hug. They said they were proud of them for being brave and creative. They said they would take them home and give them a bath and a snack. Tom and Lily were happy. They loved their mom and dad and they loved playing in the park.
+Lily and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the waves. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs and shells. They wanted to see a whale, but they never did.
+
+One day, they heard a loud splash. They looked at the water and saw a big, gray thing. It had a long tail and a hole on its head. It made a funny noise, like a whistle. Lily and Ben were very excited. They ran to their mom and dad and pointed at the thing.
+
+"Look, look, a whale!" they shouted.
+
+Mom and dad smiled and came to see. They told Lily and Ben that the thing was indeed a whale, and that it was very rare to see one so close to the shore. They said that whales were very smart and friendly animals, and that they liked to talk to each other.
+
+"Can we talk to the whale?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe, if we are very quiet and polite," dad said.
+
+He took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it softly. The whale heard it and came closer. It blew some water from its hole and made another noise, like a question.
+
+"Hello, whale," dad said. "We are happy to see you. What is your name?"
+
+The whale made another noise, like an answer. It sounded like "Ooo-eee".
+
+"Ooo-eee? That's a nice name," dad said. "I'm dad, and this is mom, and these are Lily and Ben. We are humans."
+
+The whale nodded and made a noise, like a greeting.
+
+"Hello, Ooo-eee," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They smiled and waved at the whale. The whale smiled and waved its tail. They felt like they made a new friend.
+
+But then, they heard another loud splash. They looked and saw another thing. It was bigger and darker than the whale. It had sharp teeth and a mean eye. It was a shark, and it looked hungry. It was coming towards the whale.
+
+Lily and Ben were very scared. They screamed and hid behind their mom and dad. The shark was terrible. It wanted to hurt the whale.
+
+"Go away, shark!" dad shouted. "Leave the whale alone!"
+
+He blew his whistle again, very loudly. The shark heard it and stopped. It looked confused and angry. It did not like the noise.
+
+The whale saw the shark and knew it was in danger. It made a noise, like a warning. It was brave and strong. It did not want to be eaten.
+
+It swam fast and hit the shark with its tail. The shark felt pain and fear. It turned around and swam away. It did not want to fight the whale.
+
+The whale was safe. It made a noise, like a thank you. It was grateful and happy.
+
+Lily and Ben came out from behind their mom and dad. They were relieved and proud. They cheered and clapped for the whale.
+
+"Yay, Ooo-eee!" they said. "You are awesome! You beat the shark!"
+
+The whale made a noise, like a laugh. It was glad and friendly.
+
+It waved its tail again and blew some water from its hole. It said goodbye to Lily and Ben and their mom and dad. It swam away, back to the deep sea.
+
+Lily and Ben watched it go. They felt sad and happy. They missed the whale, but they hoped it would be well.
+
+They hugged their mom and dad and thanked them for the whistle. They said they would never forget Ooo-eee, the whale.
+
+They learned a lot that day. They learned about whales and sharks and noises and friends. They learned that the sea was full of wonders and dangers. They learned that sometimes, the terrible things go away, and the nice things stay.
+Lily was sick. She had a bad cough and a hot head. She did not want to play or eat. Her mom was worried. She called the doctor.
+
+The doctor came to Lily's house. He had a big bag with many things. He smiled at Lily and said, "Hello, Lily. I am here to help you. Can I see your mouth?"
+
+Lily nodded. She opened her mouth wide. The doctor looked inside with a light. He said, "You have a sore throat. That is why you cough. I have some medicine for you. It will make you feel better."
+
+He took out a bottle and a spoon from his bag. He poured some liquid on the spoon. He said, "This is cherry flavor. It is sweet. Can you drink it?"
+
+Lily made a face. She did not like medicine. But she wanted to stop coughing. She took the spoon and drank the liquid. It was sweet, but also bitter. She said, "Yuck!"
+
+The doctor laughed. He said, "Good girl. You are brave. You have to drink this twice a day for a week. Then you will be well. You also have to rest and drink water. And eat some soup. Soup is good for you."
+
+Lily nodded. She felt a little better. She said, "Thank you, doctor. You are nice. And thin. You are not fat like my teddy bear."
+
+The doctor smiled. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. And thank you for the compliment. I try to stay healthy. But I like teddy bears too. They are soft and cuddly. Can I see your teddy bear?"
+
+Lily smiled. She reached for her teddy bear on the bed. She gave it to the doctor. The doctor hugged it and said, "He is very cute. What is his name?"
+
+Lily said, "His name is Bobo. He is my best friend. He sleeps with me every night. He likes soup too."
+
+The doctor said, "That is wonderful. Bobo is a good friend. He will keep you company while you get better. Can I give him a kiss?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, you can. He likes kisses too."
+
+The doctor kissed Bobo on the nose. He gave him back to Lily. He said, "Goodbye, Lily. Goodbye, Bobo. I hope you feel better soon. I will call your mom tomorrow to check on you. Take care."
+
+Lily said, "Goodbye, doctor. Thank you for the medicine. And the kiss. Take care too."
+
+The doctor waved and left. Lily hugged Bobo and closed her eyes. She felt sleepy. She hoped she would dream of cherries and soup. And the nice thin doctor.
+Jill likes to sing. She sings in the morning, she sings at lunch, she sings at night. She sings when she plays, she sings when she reads, she sings when she sleeps. She sings loud and happy.
+
+One day, Jill goes to the market with her mom. She sees many things. She sees fruits, she sees flowers, she sees bread. She sings about them all. She sings, "I like fruits, they are sweet. I like flowers, they are pretty. I like bread, it is soft."
+
+Then she sees vegetables. She does not like vegetables. She thinks they are yucky. She sings, "I do not like vegetables, they are bitter. I do not like vegetables, they are hard. I do not like vegetables, they are green."
+
+A man hears her sing. He is the vegetable seller. He is not happy. He says, "Hey, little girl, why do you sing that? Vegetables are good for you. They make you strong and healthy. They have many colors and shapes. You should try them, you might like them."
+
+Jill looks at the man. She looks at the vegetables. She sees carrots, she sees tomatoes, she sees lettuce. She thinks they look funny. She says, "No, thank you, mister. I do not want to try them. I do not like vegetables. I like to sing."
+
+The man shakes his head. He says, "Okay, little girl, suit yourself. But you are missing out. Vegetables are tasty and fun. You can make a salad, you can make a soup, you can make a pie. You can even sing with them."
+
+He picks up a carrot. He holds it like a microphone. He sings, "Do you know the vegetable man, the vegetable man, the vegetable man? Do you know the vegetable man, who sells them at the market?"
+
+Jill laughs. She thinks the man is silly. She says, "That is a funny song, mister. But I still do not like vegetables. I like to sing my own songs."
+
+She picks up a tomato. She throws it at the man. She sings, "You are the vegetable man, the vegetable man, the vegetable man. You are the vegetable man, who gets wet at the market."
+
+The tomato hits the man. It splashes on his face. He is wet and red. He is not happy. He says, "Hey, little girl, that is not nice. That is rude and wasteful. You should not throw food. You should say sorry."
+
+Jill's mom sees what happens. She is not happy. She says, "Jill, what are you doing? That is not how you behave. You should not sing mean songs. You should not throw tomatoes. You should apologize to the man."
+
+Jill feels bad. She knows she did wrong. She says, "I am sorry, mister. I am sorry, mom. I was just having fun. I did not mean to make you mad. I will not do it again."
+
+The man wipes his face. He smiles. He says, "It is okay, little girl. I forgive you. You have a good voice. You have a lot of energy. You have a lot of imagination. But you should also have some manners. And you should also have some vegetables. They are good for you, trust me."
+
+He gives Jill a lettuce. He says, "Here, take this. It is a gift. It is a vegetable. It is wet. It is also a hat. You can wear it. You can sing with it. You can even eat it. You might like it."
+
+Jill takes the lettuce. She puts it on her head. She looks at the man. She looks at her mom. She looks at herself. She laughs. She says, "Thank you, mister. Thank you, mom. This is a funny hat. This is a funny vegetable. This is a funny day. I will try it. I will sing with it. I will eat it. I might like it."
+Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a big box of chalk. They are happy.
+
+"Let's draw on the sidewalk!" Sam says.
+
+"OK!" Lily says. "What do you want to draw?"
+
+Sam thinks. He likes cars and trucks. He picks a blue chalk and starts to draw a car. He makes four round wheels and a long body.
+
+Lily likes flowers and butterflies. She picks a pink chalk and starts to draw a flower. She makes a circle in the middle and many petals around it.
+
+They draw and draw. They make many pictures on the sidewalk. They use different colors of chalk. They have fun.
+
+After a while, they are tired. They sit on the grass and look at their pictures. They are proud.
+
+"I like your car, Sam," Lily says.
+
+"I like your flower, Lily," Sam says.
+
+They smile at each other. They are comfortable. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a big ball in the grass. It was red and shiny and bounced very high.
+
+"Wow, look at this ball!" Lily said. "Can we play with it?"
+
+"Sure, let's play catch!" Ben said. They threw the ball to each other and had fun.
+
+But then, a big boy came and snatched the ball from Ben's hands. He was mean and rude.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Lily shouted. "Give it back!"
+
+"No, it's mine now!" the big boy said. "I saw it first. Finders keepers!"
+
+"That's not fair!" Ben said. "We found it together. You can't just take it!"
+
+"Yes, I can!" the big boy said. "And if you try to stop me, I'll hit you!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They didn't want to fight. They wanted their ball back.
+
+"Please, mister, be nice," Lily said. "We can share the ball. We can all play together."
+
+The big boy laughed. He didn't want to share. He didn't want to play. He wanted the ball for himself.
+
+"No, I don't share," he said. "And I don't play with babies. Go away!"
+
+He kicked the ball hard and ran away. Lily and Ben watched him go. They felt sad and angry. They had lost their ball. They had lost their fun.
+
+They looked at each other and cried. They didn't believe that someone could be so mean. They wished they had a will to get their ball back. But they didn't. They had nothing.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see a stream with water and rocks. They want to make a bridge with sticks.
+
+"Look, I found a thin stick!" Anna says. She puts it over the stream.
+
+"That is too thin. It will break," Ben says. He finds a bigger stick. He tries to push it over the stream.
+
+But the stick is too big. It does not fit. Ben pushes harder and harder. He falls into the water. Splash!
+
+Anna laughs. "You are wet!" she says.
+
+Ben is not happy. He is cold and wet. He gets out of the water. He shakes his head.
+
+"Let's go home," he says. "I need a towel."
+
+Anna nods. She takes his hand. They walk home. They leave the sticks behind. The stream flows on.
+Tom and Mia were playing outside with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball bounced on the ground. They laughed when that happened.
+
+They looked up at the sky and saw many clouds. Some were big and white, some were small and gray. Tom pointed at one cloud and said, "Look, that cloud is different. It has a funny shape. What do you think it is?"
+
+Mia squinted her eyes and said, "I think it is a dragon. It has a long tail and wings and a big mouth. Maybe it can breathe fire."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, it is a dragon. But it is a nice dragon. It is smiling at us. Maybe it wants to play with us."
+
+They waved at the cloud and shouted, "Hello, dragon! Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The cloud seemed to hear them and moved closer. It made a soft sound, like a purr. Tom and Mia were happy and threw their ball to the cloud. The cloud caught the ball with its mouth and threw it back to them. They played catch with the cloud for a while.
+
+But then, the cloud changed. It became darker and bigger. It stopped smiling and started growling. It looked angry and scary. Tom and Mia were afraid and ran to their house. They heard a loud roar and a flash of light. The cloud had breathed fire and burned their ball.
+
+They reached their house and slammed the door. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had not played with the different cloud. They wished they had their ball back. They learned that not all clouds are nice and friendly. Some are mean and dangerous. They decided to never play with clouds again.
+Lily likes to go to the library with her mom. She likes to look at books with many pictures and colors. She also likes to play with the toys and puzzles in the library.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom go to the library. Lily sees a big book with numbers on the cover. She wants to learn about numbers. She asks her mom, "Can we read this book, please?"
+
+Her mom says, "Sure, we can read this book. But we have to be quiet in the library. We don't want to be loud and bother other people."
+
+Lily nods and says, "Okay, mom. I will be quiet." She takes the book and sits on a chair. Her mom sits next to her and opens the book.
+
+The book has many pages with different numbers. Lily points at each number and says it softly. Her mom helps her when she doesn't know a number. Lily likes the book. She learns about numbers from one to ten. She feels happy and proud.
+
+She says to her mom, "Mom, I like this book. I like numbers. Can we take this book home?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, we can take this book home. But first, we have to go to the desk and show the book to the lady. She will give us a card and tell us when to bring the book back."
+
+Lily and her mom go to the desk. The lady is nice and friendly. She gives them a card and says, "You can keep this book for two weeks. Then you have to bring it back to the library. Enjoy your book!"
+
+Lily and her mom say, "Thank you!" They leave the library with the book. Lily hugs the book and says, "I can't wait to read this book again. I love the library!"
+Sara was playing with her dolls when she heard a knock on the door. She ran to see who it was. It was the mailman with a big envelope. He smiled and said, "This is for you, Sara. It's a letter from your grandma. She lives very far away and misses you a lot."
+
+Sara was very happy. She loved her grandma and wanted to see her. She thanked the mailman and took the letter. She ran back to her room and opened it. Inside, there was a card with a picture of a flower and a note. The note said, "Dear Sara, I hope you are well and having fun. I am sending you a big hug and a kiss. I remember when you were a baby and I held you in my arms. You were so sweet and patient. I am proud of you and I love you. Grandma."
+
+Sara felt warm and fuzzy. She hugged the card and smiled. She wanted to write back to her grandma and tell her how much she loved her too. But she did not know how to write yet. She only knew how to draw. She looked for a paper and a crayon. She decided to draw a picture of her and her grandma holding hands. She thought that would make her grandma happy.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was her brother, Tom. He came into her room and saw her drawing. He was bored and wanted to play. He grabbed the paper and the crayon from Sara. He said, "What are you doing, Sara? This is not a letter. This is a silly drawing. Let me show you how to write a real letter."
+
+Sara was very angry. She wanted her paper and her crayon back. She said, "No, Tom. Give it back. This is my letter for grandma. She will like it. It is not silly. It is nice. You are mean."
+
+Tom did not listen. He started to write on the paper with the crayon. He wrote, "Hi, grandma. I am Tom. I am smart and strong. I can write and read and count. Sara is dumb and weak. She can only draw and play with dolls. She is boring. You should like me more. Tom."
+
+Sara was very sad. She started to cry. She said, "Stop it, Tom. You are ruining my letter. You are hurting my feelings. You are not nice. Grandma loves me too. She remembers me. She sent me a card. You are not fair."
+
+Tom did not care. He laughed and said, "Too bad, Sara. This is my letter now. You can't have it. You can't write. You can't do anything. You are a baby. Go away."
+
+Sara felt very bad. She wanted to tell her mom and dad. But they were not home. They were at work. She did not know what to do. She wished her grandma was here. She wished she could write to her. She wished Tom would be nice to her. She wished she could remember how to be happy.
+Lila loves to draw with pastels. She has many colors of pastels: red, blue, yellow, green, pink, purple, and more. She likes to make pictures of flowers, animals, and people. She draws on big papers and hangs them on the wall.
+
+One day, Lila's mom takes her to a museum. There, she sees many paintings by famous artists. She sees paintings of flowers, animals, and people, too. But they are different from her drawings. They have more details, more shades, more shapes. They look real and beautiful.
+
+Lila's mom tells her that the artists used pastels, too. But they also used other tools, like brushes, pencils, and water. They learned how to mix colors, make shadows, and create textures. They practiced a lot and became very good at drawing.
+
+Lila is amazed by the paintings. She wants to learn more about pastels and how to use them. She asks her mom if she can buy a book about pastels and some new tools. Her mom says yes and smiles. She is proud of Lila's interest and talent.
+
+Lila knows that she loves to draw with pastels. She also knows that she can learn more and improve her skills. She dreams of becoming a famous artist one day, and making her own paintings for the museum. She thinks that pastels are the best.
+Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mommy's birthday. They had a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, some milk, and some sugar. They also had a spoon to mix everything.
+
+"Let's mix, mix, mix!" Lily said, stirring the bowl with the spoon. "We will make the best cake ever!"
+
+Max nodded. He wanted to help too. He reached for the spoon, but Lily did not let go. "No, it's my turn!" she said, pulling the spoon back. "You can mix later!"
+
+Max was angry. He wanted to mix now. He saw a shiny trophy on the counter. It was Daddy's trophy from his soccer game. Max had an idea. He grabbed the trophy and poured some flour on it. Then he added some milk and some sugar. He started to mix the trophy with his hands.
+
+"Look, I'm mixing too!" he said, smiling. "I'm making a trophy cake!"
+
+Lily gasped. She saw what Max was doing. She was shocked. She loved Daddy's trophy. It was so shiny and graceful. She did not want Max to ruin it. She dropped the spoon and ran to Max. She tried to take the trophy from him.
+
+"Stop it, Max!" she shouted. "You're making a mess! You're spoiling Daddy's trophy!"
+
+Max did not listen. He held the trophy tight. He liked his trophy cake. He thought it was funny. He did not care about Daddy's trophy. He pushed Lily away.
+
+"Go away, Lily!" he yelled. "This is my trophy cake! You can't have it!"
+
+Lily and Max started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see Mommy and Daddy coming into the kitchen. They did not hear them say "Happy birthday, Mommy!" They did not notice them staring at the bowl, the spoon, the flour, the eggs, the milk, the sugar, and the trophy. They did not see their faces change from happy to angry.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mommy and Daddy asked in a loud voice. "What have you done to our kitchen? And to Daddy's trophy?"
+
+Lily and Max stopped fighting. They looked at Mommy and Daddy. They felt scared. They knew they were in trouble. They did not know what to say. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had shared the spoon. They wished they had made a nice cake for Mommy. They wished they had left Daddy's trophy alone. They wished they had been good.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the snow. They liked to make snowballs and snowmen. They also liked to make an igloo. An igloo was a house made of snow. They used a big spoon to dig and pile the snow.
+
+They worked hard and made a big igloo. They made a door and a window. They wanted to go inside and pretend they lived there. But they had a problem. They did not have a key to unlock the door. They had made the door too tight and it was stuck.
+
+"Help! We can't open the door!" Ben shouted.
+
+"Who is there?" a voice asked from inside the igloo.
+
+Ben and Lily were surprised. Who was in their igloo? They looked at the window and saw a face. It was a penguin. A penguin was a black and white bird that lived in the cold.
+
+"Hello, penguin. This is our igloo. We made it. Can you please unlock the door?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sorry, I can't. I don't have a key either. I just found this igloo and crawled in. It was warm and cozy. I thought it was a normal igloo. I didn't know it was yours." the penguin said.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry for the penguin. He looked cold and lonely. They decided to share their igloo with him. They pushed and pulled the door together until it opened. They went inside and made friends with the penguin. They gave him some fish and some hot chocolate. They told him stories and jokes. They had fun in their igloo. They learned that sometimes, a normal igloo can be a special igloo.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who liked to run and bark.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck stop in front of their house. A man got out and took a long ladder from the truck. He put the ladder against the wall and climbed up to the roof. Lily and Ben wondered what he was doing.
+
+"Mom, what is that man doing?" Lily asked.
+
+"He is a chimney sweeper, dear. He is cleaning our chimney so we can have a fire in the fireplace when it gets cold," Mom said.
+
+"What is a chimney?" Ben asked.
+
+"A chimney is a tall pipe that lets the smoke from the fire go out of the house. Sometimes it gets dirty and needs to be cleaned," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben watched as the man brushed and scraped the inside of the chimney. They saw black dust and ashes fall down to the ground. Spot barked at the man and tried to catch the dust.
+
+"Spot, stop that! You will get dirty!" Mom said.
+
+The man finished his work and came down from the roof. He smiled at Lily and Ben and said, "Your chimney is fine now. You can have a cozy fire soon."
+
+"Thank you, Mr. Chimney Sweeper!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+They gave him a hug and a cookie. Then they went back to play with Spot. They remembered the man and the chimney and thought it was very interesting. They hoped to see him again someday.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big green thing with spikes. It was a cactus.
+
+"Look, Max, a cactus!" Lily said. "It is so prickly. I want to touch it."
+
+"No, Lily, don't touch it!" Max said. "It will hurt you. It is not smooth like a flower. It is sharp like a needle."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran to the cactus and reached out her hand. She wanted to feel the spikes. She thought they were pretty.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried. She pulled back her hand. It was red and bleeding. She had many little holes in her skin. The cactus had poked her.
+
+Max ran to Lily and hugged her. He was sorry for her. He took her to the bench and gave her his water bottle. He helped her wash her hand and wrap it with his scarf.
+
+"I'm sorry, Max," Lily said. "You were right. The cactus was not smooth. It was mean. It hurt me."
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Max said. "You will be fine. Next time, listen to me. I know some things. I am your big brother."
+
+Lily nodded. She smiled at Max. She was glad he was her big brother. He was kind and smart. He knew how to make her feel better.
+
+They hugged again and went back to play. They avoided the cactus. They found a smooth rock instead. It was shiny and round. They liked it. They took it home and showed it to their mom. She was proud of them. She gave them a cookie and a kiss. They were happy.
+Anna liked to play in the garden. She liked to see the flowers and the bugs and the birds. But she was lonely. She had no one to play with. Her mom and dad were busy. Her big brother was at school. Her little sister was too small.
+
+One day, she saw a shiny thing in the grass. She picked it up. It was a key. She wondered what it was for. She looked around and saw a little door in the wall. She walked to the door and tried the key. It fit. She turned the key and heard a click. She opened the door and saw a new garden.
+
+The new garden was very different. It had strange plants and animals. It had bright colors and funny sounds. Anna was curious. She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. She wanted to explore.
+
+She saw a big tree with a swing. She ran to the swing and sat on it. She pushed herself and went high. She felt happy. She saw a pond with a boat. She ran to the boat and got in. She rowed around and saw fish and frogs. She felt excited. She saw a hill with a slide. She ran to the slide and climbed up. She slid down and laughed. She felt free.
+
+She played for a long time. She forgot about the key and the door and the old garden. She was not lonely anymore. She had fun. She made friends with the plants and animals. She twisted and turned and jumped and rolled. She was happy in the new garden.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a white cat under a tree. The cat is small and thin. It looks sad and scared.
+
+"Look, a cat!" Tom says. "Can we pet it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily says. "Maybe it will bite us."
+
+They go closer to the cat. The cat does not run away. It meows softly. Tom and Lily see that the cat has a wound on its leg. It is bleeding.
+
+"Oh no, the cat is hurt!" Lily says. "We have to help it."
+
+"How?" Tom asks.
+
+"Let's take it to the vet," Lily says. "The vet is a person who cares for animals. He can make the cat better."
+
+"Okay," Tom says. "But how do we take it?"
+
+They find a box and a blanket. They put the blanket in the box. They gently lift the cat and put it in the box. The cat does not bite them. It purrs and rubs its head against them.
+
+"See, the cat likes us," Lily says. "We are its friends."
+
+They carry the box to the vet. The vet is a kind man. He smiles at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Hello, you two," he says. "What do you have here?"
+
+"A cat," Tom says. "A white cat. It is hurt. Can you help it?"
+
+"Of course," the vet says. "Let me see."
+
+He takes the cat out of the box. He examines the wound. He cleans it and puts a bandage on it.
+
+"There, that's better," he says. "The cat will be fine. You are very brave and caring, you two. You saved the cat's life."
+
+"Really?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, really," the vet says. "You are good youth. The cat is lucky to have you."
+
+"Can we keep the cat?" Tom asks.
+
+"Well, that depends," the vet says. "Do you have a home for it? Do you have food for it? Do you have time for it?"
+
+Tom and Lily look at each other. They nod.
+
+"Yes, we do," they say.
+
+"Then, I think the cat would be happy with you," the vet says. "But you have to ask your parents first. And you have to give the cat a name."
+
+Tom and Lily think for a moment. They smile.
+
+"We have a name," they say. "We will call the cat Snowy. Because it is white and soft."
+
+The vet laughs.
+
+"That's a good name," he says. "Snowy, meet your new family."
+
+He gives the cat back to Tom and Lily. They hug the cat. The cat hugs them back.
+
+"Thank you, vet," Tom and Lily say.
+
+"You're welcome," the vet says. "And thank you, too. You made my day."
+
+They wave goodbye to the vet. They take Snowy home. They show Snowy to their parents. Their parents agree to let them keep Snowy. They give Snowy food and water. They play with Snowy. They cuddle with Snowy.
+
+Snowy is happy. Tom and Lily are happy. They are a happy family. They care for each other. The end.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the park with their mom and saw a stream. The stream was clear and they could see fish and rocks in it.
+
+"Look, Lila, fish!" Ben said, pointing to the water.
+
+"Can we catch them?" Lila asked.
+
+"No, we can't. They are too fast and we don't have a net. But we can watch them and learn," mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben sat on the grass and watched the fish swim and jump. They saw how some fish were big and some were small. They saw how some fish had spots and some had stripes. They saw how some fish stayed together and some went alone.
+
+"Mom, why are the fish different?" Lila asked.
+
+"Well, fish are like people. They have different shapes, colors, and personalities. They also have different ways to survive and gain food," mom said.
+
+"How do they gain food?" Ben asked.
+
+"Some fish eat plants, some eat insects, some eat other fish. They use their mouths, teeth, fins, and tails to catch and eat their food," mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben learned a lot from watching the stream. They liked the fish and wanted to see more of them. They thanked mom for taking them to the park and asked if they could come back again. Mom smiled and said yes.
+Lily liked to play with her flute. She made pretty sounds with it. She blew air into it and moved her fingers. She learned how to play from her mom.
+
+One day, she took her flute to the park. She wanted to show her friends. She saw Ben and Anna on the swings. She ran to them and said, "Look, I have a flute! Do you want to hear me play?"
+
+Ben and Anna nodded. They liked music. Lily played a song for them. They clapped and smiled. They said, "Wow, Lily, you are good! Can we try your flute?"
+
+Lily was happy to share. She gave her flute to Ben. Ben tried to blow air into it, but he could not make any sound. He got frustrated. He said, "This flute is broken! It does not work!"
+
+Lily said, "No, Ben, you have to blow softly and move your fingers. Like this." She showed him how to play.
+
+Ben did not listen. He blew harder and harder. He made a loud noise. He said, "This flute is stupid! I don't like it!" He threw the flute on the ground.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "Ben, you are mean! You broke my flute! It was a gift from my mom! It was useful and fun! How could you do that?"
+
+She ran to pick up her flute. She saw that it was bent and cracked. She felt like crying. She said, "Ben, you are a bad friend! You have to say sorry and fix my flute!"
+
+Ben did not say sorry. He did not care. He said, "I don't care! It was just a flute! It was not important!"
+
+Lily was very mad. She pinched Ben on his arm. She said, "Ow! That hurts! Why did you pinch me?"
+
+Lily said, "Because you hurt me and my flute! You have to learn to be nice and share!"
+
+Anna saw what happened. She felt sorry for Lily. She said, "Lily, I am sorry that Ben broke your flute. He was rude and selfish. You can play with my doll if you want. She has a dress and a hat. She is cute and friendly."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I like your doll. She is pretty and sweet."
+
+Lily and Anna played with the doll. They forgot about Ben. They had fun. They sang songs and told stories. They hugged each other. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let me open it!" Ben says. He pulls the box.
+
+"No, me!" Anna says. She pushes the box.
+
+They tug and shove until the box falls over. It makes a loud noise. They hear their mom coming.
+
+"Uh-oh," Ben says. "We are in trouble."
+
+"Quick, hide!" Anna says. They run behind some old clothes.
+
+Mom comes in. She sees the box on the floor. She is angry.
+
+"Who did this?" she asks. "Anna? Ben? Where are you?"
+
+Anna and Ben are quiet. They hope mom will not find them.
+
+Mom looks around. She sees a shoe sticking out from behind the clothes. She walks over and pulls the clothes away. She sees Anna and Ben.
+
+"Here you are," she says. "Why did you make a mess?"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want to be punished.
+
+"Sorry, mom," Anna says. "We wanted to see what was in the box."
+
+Mom looks at the box. She sees a label that says "Fragile". She opens the box. She sees a vase that is broken.
+
+"Oh, no," she says. "This was a gift from grandma. She sent it for our birthday. It was very special."
+
+Anna and Ben feel bad. They did not know it was a gift. They did not mean to break it.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry," Ben says. "We did not know. We were curious."
+
+Mom sighs. She is sad, but she is also glad that Anna and Ben are honest.
+
+"I know, sweeties," she says. "But you should listen to me when I tell you not to touch things in the garage. They can be dangerous or valuable. You could get hurt or ruin something."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They understand.
+
+"We will listen, mom," they say. "We promise."
+
+Mom hugs them. She is still angry, but she loves them.
+
+"I love you, too," she says. "But you still have to clean up this mess. And you have to write a letter to grandma and say sorry."
+
+Anna and Ben agree. They help mom pick up the pieces of the vase. They write a letter to grandma and draw a picture of a new vase. They hope grandma will forgive them. They learn to be more careful and respectful. They are good twins.
+Sara was a big girl who liked to learn new things. She went to a school where a nice lady would teach her and her friends how to read, write, and count. Sara was good at reading, but she had trouble with writing. She did not like how her letters looked on the paper. They were too big, too small, or too messy.
+
+One day, the nice lady gave Sara a new book to read. It had a lot of words that Sara did not know. Sara tried to sound them out, but she got confused and frustrated. She looked at the other kids, who seemed to read easily and happily. Sara felt sad and angry. She threw the book on the floor and started to cry.
+
+The nice lady heard Sara's cry and came to her. She knelt down and hugged Sara gently. She said, "Sara, why are you crying? What is wrong?"
+
+Sara sobbed, "I can't read this book. It is too hard. I don't like writing. I am bad at school. I don't fit in."
+
+The nice lady smiled and wiped Sara's tears. She said, "Sara, you are not bad at school. You are a smart and curious girl. You can read many books, but this one is new and challenging. It is okay to feel stuck sometimes. That is how you learn and grow. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to try your best and ask for help when you need it. I am here to help you and teach you. And you do fit in. You have many friends who like you and care about you. You are a part of our school family."
+
+Sara felt a little better. She sniffed and said, "Thank you, nice lady. You are kind and good. Can you help me read this book?"
+
+The nice lady nodded and said, "Of course, Sara. Let's read it together. I will show you some tricks to figure out the words. And then you can show me your writing. I bet it is not as bad as you think. I am proud of you for trying new things."
+
+Sara smiled and hugged the nice lady. She picked up the book and opened it. She felt more confident and eager to learn. She said, "Okay, nice lady. Let's read."
+Sara likes to write. She has a big book and a red pen. She writes her name, her mom's name, and her cat's name. She draws pictures of flowers and stars. She is happy when she writes.
+
+One day, Sara goes to the farm with her mom. She sees many animals and plants. She sees cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. She sees corn, carrots, apples, and squash. She wants to write about them.
+
+She asks her mom for her book and pen. Her mom gives them to her. Sara sits on a hay bale and writes. She writes "cow", "pig", "chicken", and "horse". She draws them too. She writes "corn", "carrot", "apple", and "squash". She draws them too. She is proud of her writing.
+
+But then, a playful goat comes by. The goat sees Sara's book and pen. The goat thinks they are food. The goat jumps on the hay bale and grabs Sara's book and pen. The goat runs away with them.
+
+Sara is sad. She cries. She wants her book and pen back. Her mom hugs her and says, "Don't worry, Sara. We will get them back. Let's go find the goat."
+
+Sara and her mom follow the goat. They see the goat chewing on Sara's book and pen. They see the goat spit out the pen. They see the goat drop the book on a squash. The squash is squished.
+
+Sara and her mom run to the goat. They take the book and pen from the goat. The goat bleats and runs away. Sara looks at her book and pen. They are dirty and broken. She is sad.
+
+Her mom says, "I'm sorry, Sara. Your book and pen are ruined. But you can get a new book and pen. And you can write again. You are a good writer, Sara."
+
+Sara smiles. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can we get a new book and pen now?"
+
+Her mom says, "Yes, we can. And we can also get a squash. Do you like squash, Sara?"
+
+Sara says, "Yes, I do. But not a squished squash. A whole squash."
+
+Her mom says, "OK, Sara. Let's go get a new book and pen and a whole squash. And let's say goodbye to the goat. He was playful, but not nice."
+
+Sara says, "Goodbye, goat. Next time, don't eat my book and pen. And don't squish the squash."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard when they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a drum. It was thunder.
+
+"Let's go inside, Tom. It will rain soon," Lily said.
+
+"No, I want to stay and watch the lightning. It is bright and fast," Tom said.
+
+Lily was scared of the lightning. She did not like the noise and the light. She ran to the house and called for Mom.
+
+Tom stayed in the yard. He was not scared. He liked the lightning. He wanted to see more. He was nosy.
+
+But then a big lightning bolt came very close to Tom. It hit a tree near him. The tree broke and fell. Tom was scared. He felt a shock. He cried.
+
+Mom heard Tom cry. She ran to the yard. She saw the broken tree and Tom on the ground. She was worried.
+
+"Tom, are you okay? What happened?" Mom asked.
+
+"I was watching the lightning, Mom. It was fun. But then it hit the tree and it hurt me," Tom said.
+
+Mom hugged Tom. She checked him for injuries. He was not hurt badly. He had a small burn on his arm. She put some cream on it.
+
+"Tom, you were very lucky. Lightning is very dangerous. You should not watch it. You should go inside when it thunders. You should listen to Lily. She was smart. You were nosy. You have to pay attention to the weather," Mom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I was silly. I won't watch the lightning again. I will listen to Lily. I will pay attention to the weather," Tom said.
+
+Mom took Tom inside. She gave him some juice and a cookie. She called Lily. Lily came and hugged Tom. She was glad he was okay.
+
+"Tom, I'm sorry you got hurt. I was scared of the lightning. I'm happy you are safe," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You were right. The lightning was not fun. It was scary. I'm happy you are my sister," Tom said.
+
+They smiled and hugged. They learned a lesson. They watched a movie together. They waited for the storm to pass.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen while Mom was busy. They saw the dishwasher and wanted to see what was inside. They opened the door and saw many plates and cups and spoons. They thought it would be fun to hide in the dishwasher and surprise Mom.
+
+They climbed inside and closed the door. They giggled and whispered to each other. They did not know that the dishwasher was not empty. It was full of dirty dishes that Mom had put in before. They also did not know that Mom had turned on the switch to start the dishwasher.
+
+Soon, they heard a loud noise and felt water spraying on them. They screamed and cried. They wanted to get out, but the door was locked. They were scared and wet and dirty. They wished they had not hidden in the dishwasher.
+
+Mom heard their screams and ran to the kitchen. She saw the dishwasher was on and realized what had happened. She quickly turned off the switch and opened the door. She saw Tom and Lily soaked and covered in soap and food. She was angry and worried. She pulled them out and hugged them.
+
+"What were you thinking?" she asked. "You could have been hurt. The dishwasher is not a toy. It is for washing dishes. You should never hide in there. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were ashamed. They said they were sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry or worried. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+Mom sighed. She was glad they were not hurt. She said she loved them, but they had to be more careful and listen to her. She said they had to help her clean the kitchen and the dishwasher. She said they had to learn from their mistake.
+
+Tom and Lily agreed. They said they loved Mom too. They said they would never hide in the dishwasher again. They said they would be good and obey Mom. They learned their lesson.
+One day, a young bird wanted to fly. He saw his mother and father fly high in the sky and he wished he could join them. He asked his mother, "Mom, can you teach me how to fly?"
+
+His mother smiled and said, "Of course, my son. But you have to be brave and listen to me. Flying is not easy, but it is fun and beautiful."
+
+She took him to the edge of the nest and said, "Look, you have wings. They are strong and can lift you up. You have to flap them fast and hard. Like this." She showed him how to flap her wings and then flew up a little.
+
+The young bird watched and tried to copy her. He flapped his wings, but he felt scared. He did not want to fall. He said, "Mom, I can't do it. It is too high. I am afraid."
+
+His mother came back and said, "Don't be afraid, my son. I am here to help you. You have to trust yourself and me. You can do it. Just try again. And remember, if you fall, I will catch you."
+
+She gave him a gentle push and said, "Now, flap your wings and fly!"
+
+The young bird felt a surge of courage and flapped his wings harder. He felt the air lift him up and he flew. He was amazed and happy. He said, "Mom, I am flying! I am flying!"
+
+His mother flew beside him and said, "Yes, you are! I am so proud of you! You did it!"
+
+They flew together and enjoyed the view. The young bird learned how to fly and he thanked his mother for teaching him. He also learned to be brave and to trust himself and his mother.
+

+Anna liked to wave at the cat that lived next door. The cat was black and white and had a pink nose. Sometimes the cat would wave back with its tail, and Anna would giggle.
+
+One day, Anna saw the cat sitting on the fence. She ran to the window and waved. "Hello, cat!" she said. "Do you want to play with me?"

+
+"This is the cat from next door," Anna said. "Can the cat stay for lunch?"
+
+Anna's mom smiled. "Sure, why not? The cat can have some milk and tuna. And you can have some soup and bread. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and the cat nodded. They followed Anna's mom to the table. They ate and drank and thanked Anna's mom. Then they went back to Anna's room to play some more.
+
+Anna and the cat were very happy. They waved at each other every day. They became best friends.

+
+Her mom finished her work. She went to check on Anna. She did not see her in her big bed. She looked around. She heard a soft snore from the basement. She went down.

She went back to her room. She slept in her big bed.
+One day, a boy and a girl went to play in the snow. They saw a big hill of snow and decided to make an igloo. They used a shovel and their hands to dig a hole and pile up the snow. They worked hard and had fun.
+
+When they finished, they crawled inside the igloo and looked around. It was cozy and white. They felt proud of their work. They decided to have a picnic inside the igloo. They took out some sandwiches and juice from their backpacks and ate them.
+

+The moose nodded again and wagged its tail. The boy and the girl giggled and came out of the igloo. They patted the moose and made a snowman with it. They had a lot of fun.

+Sara and Tom like to go to the park with Mom. They see many things in the park. They see birds, flowers, trees, and people. They also see a trail. The trail is a path where people can walk or run or bike.
+
+One day, Sara and Tom want to try the trail. They ask Mom if they can go. Mom says yes, but they have to be careful. The trail is busy. There are many people on the trail. Some people walk, some people run, some people bike. They have to look and listen and move to the side when someone comes.
+
+Sara and Tom are excited. They hold Mom's hand and start to walk on the trail. They see a lady with a dog. The dog is big and brown and furry. The dog barks at them. Sara and Tom are scared. They move to the side and hug Mom. Mom says, "Don't worry, the dog is friendly. He just wants to say hello." The lady says, "Sorry, he is very loud. He likes to meet new friends." She smiles and walks away with the dog.
+
+Sara and Tom see a man with a bike. The bike is red and shiny and fast. The man rings a bell. Sara and Tom hear the bell. They move to the side and let the man pass. Mom says, "Good job, you are very smart. You know how to share the trail." The man says, "Thank you, you are very polite. You know how to be safe on the trail." He waves and rides away on the bike.

+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to dance. They danced at home, at school, and at the park. They danced fast and slow, happy and sad, big and small. They had fun dancing together.
+
+One day, they saw a poster for a dance contest. The poster said: "Show your best dance and win a prize! The prize is a long, shiny necklace with many colors. It is very value and pretty. Come and join the contest!"
+
+Lily and Tom wanted to join the contest. They thought the necklace was very value and pretty too. They practiced their best dance for many days. They were ready to show their dance to everyone.
+
+On the day of the contest, they went to the big hall where the contest was. There were many other children who wanted to join the contest too. They all had different dances and costumes. Lily and Tom felt nervous and excited.
+
+They waited for their turn to dance. When their name was called, they went to the stage. They smiled at each other and started their dance. They danced fast and slow, happy and sad, big and small. They had fun dancing together.
+
+The judges and the audience watched their dance. They clapped and cheered for them. They liked their dance very much. They gave them a high score. Lily and Tom were very happy. They thought they would win the prize.

He looked very proud and happy. He took the necklace and put it around his neck. He said: "I am the best dancer! I deserve this prize! It is very value and pretty!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt sad and disappointed. They wanted the prize too. They thought their dance was good too. They wondered why they did not win the prize.
+
+They went to their teacher, who was watching the contest. They asked her: "Teacher, why did we not win the prize? We practiced our best dance for many days. We had fun dancing together. We thought our dance was good."
+
+The teacher smiled at them and hugged them. She said: "Lily and Tom, you did a great job. Your dance was very good. You showed your feelings and your friendship. You made everyone happy. You should be proud of yourselves. The prize is not the most value thing. The most value thing is to enjoy what you do and to share it with others. You have that value in your hearts. That is more value and pretty than any necklace."
+
+Lily and Tom understood what the teacher said. They felt better and smiled. They thanked the teacher and hugged her. They realized that they did not need the prize to be happy. They had each other and their dance. They decided to keep dancing and having fun together. They learned that the value of dancing is not in the prize, but in the joy.

+
+Lily sees that Ben is also nervous. His hands are shaking and his lip is tight. She says, "Don't be nervous, Ben. We are friends. We can play together at school. It will be fun." She gives him a hug and a smile.

+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, their dad gave them a new watch that could make funny sounds and show different colors. Tim and Sam were very happy and thanked their dad.
+
+"Can I try the watch first?" Tim asked Sam.
+
+"Okay, but only for a little bit. Then you have to give it to me," Sam said.
+
+Tim put the watch on his wrist and pressed a button. The watch made a beep sound and showed a red light. Tim laughed and pressed another button. The watch made a moo sound and showed a green light. Tim laughed again and pressed another button. The watch made a splash sound and showed a blue light.
+
+Sam watched Tim play with the watch and felt impatient. He wanted to try the watch too. He reached out his hand and tried to grab the watch from Tim.
+
+"Hey, stop it! It's my turn!" Tim shouted and pulled his hand away.
+
+"No, it's my turn! You had it for too long!" Sam shouted back and pulled harder.
+
+Tim and Sam started to fight over the watch. They pulled and pushed and yelled at each other. They did not see that their mom was watching them from the kitchen. She did not like what she saw. She decided to teach them a lesson.
+
+She walked over to them and said in a stern voice, "Boys, what are you doing? You are spoiling your new watch and your fun. You should share and take turns. If you can't do that, then you can't have the watch at all."
+
+She took the watch from their hands and put it on the table. She told them to go to their room and think about what they did. Tim and Sam felt sad and sorry. They realized that they were being selfish and mean. They wished they had not fought over the watch.
+
+They went to their room and sat on their beds. They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, brother. I love you."
+
+"I'm sorry, too. I love you, too," the other said.
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to be nice and share the watch from now on. They hoped that their mom would let them have the watch back soon. They did not know that their mom had an unusual plan for the watch. She had seen a button on the watch that they had not pressed yet. She wondered what it would do. She pressed it and waited. The watch made a loud sound and showed a bright light. Then it exploded and made a big mess. Their mom was shocked and scared. She wished she had not pressed the button. She spoiled the watch and her kitchen.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there.
+
+"Let's go to the tree, Ben!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful!" Ben said.
+
+They ran to the tree and found a branch that was low enough for them to reach. They pulled themselves up and started to climb higher and higher. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They saw birds and squirrels and flowers. They were very happy.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can see the church from here!" Lily said, pointing to a tall building with a cross on top.
+
+"I can see it too, Lily! And I can hear the bell!" Ben said, listening to the sound of the bell ringing.
+
+They heard the bell go ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong. It was a distant bell, but it was loud and clear. They liked the sound of the bell. It made them feel calm and peaceful.
+
+"Ben, do you know why the bell rings?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is to tell people something. Maybe it is to say hello or goodbye or thank you or sorry. Maybe it is to name something or someone. What do you think?" Ben asked.
+
+"I think the bell rings to make people happy. I think the bell rings to say I love you. I love you, Ben!" Lily said.
+
+"I love you too, Lily!" Ben said.
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. They heard the bell ring one more time. They decided to climb down the tree and go back to their parents. They were happy and they felt the bell in their hearts.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. They make roads with blocks and tape. They drive their cars and trucks on the roads. They have fun.
+
+One day, Tom has a new idea. He says to Sam, "Let's mix our cars and trucks. We can make new ones. It will be fun." Sam is not sure. He likes his cars and trucks. He says, "But what if we break them? What if we can't put them back?" Tom says, "Don't worry. It will be easy. Come on, let's try."
+
+They start to mix their cars and trucks. They pull off wheels and doors and windows. They stick them on other cars and trucks. They make strange and funny shapes. They laugh and say, "Look at this one. It has a truck body and a car roof. And this one has a car body and a truck bed." They think they are clever.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Mom. She comes into their room. She sees the mess. She sees the broken cars and trucks. She is angry. She says, "What have you done? You have ruined your toys. You have wasted your money. You have made a big mess. How could you do this?" She takes away their cars and trucks. She says, "You are not allowed to play with them anymore. You have to clean up this room. And you have to say sorry to each other. You have been bad boys."
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They are sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They did not mean to ruin their toys. They did not mean to hurt each other. They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They start to clean up the room. They wish they had not mixed their cars and trucks. They wish they had played nicely. They have no fun.

+She went to ask her mom, who was in the kitchen. "Mom, have you seen my bunny?" she asked. Her mom was busy making dinner. She did not look at Lily. She said, "No, I don't know where your bunny is. Go play with something else."
+
+Lily felt angry and hurt. She did not want to play with something else. She wanted her bunny. She said, "Mom, you are grumpy. You don't care about me or my bunny." She ran to her room and slammed the door.
+
+Her mom heard the door and felt sorry. She knew she was grumpy. She had a hard day at work and was tired. She did not mean to be mean to Lily. She loved her and her bunny. She finished making dinner and went to Lily's room. She knocked on the door and said, "Lily, can I come in?"
+
+Lily did not answer. She was still mad at her mom. She hugged her pillow and pretended it was her bunny. Her mom opened the door and saw Lily on her bed. She smiled and said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you." She held out her hand and showed Lily her bunny. She said, "I found your bunny in the laundry basket. I washed it and dried it for you. It is clean and soft. I'm sorry I was grumpy. I know you love your bunny. I love you too."
+
+Lily saw her bunny and felt happy. She jumped off her bed and ran to her mom. She took her bunny and hugged it. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. You are not grumpy. You are nice." She kissed her mom and smiled. They hugged and went to the kitchen to have dinner. Lily put her bunny on her lap and ate her food. She was glad she had her bunny and her mom. She knew they cared about her.

+Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big bin near the fence. The bin is full of old things. Tom and Mia are curious. They want to see what is inside the bin.
+
+"Let's open the bin," Tom says. "Maybe we can find something fun."
+
+"OK," Mia says. "But we have to be careful. There might be something bad in the bin."
+
+Tom and Mia go to the bin. They lift the lid. They see a lot of unknown things. They see a broken toy, a dirty sock, a rusty can and a shiny key.
+
+"Look, a key!" Tom says. He picks up the key. "I wonder what it opens."
+
+"Maybe it opens the fence," Mia says. "Let's try it."
+
+Tom and Mia go to the fence. They see a lock on the gate. Tom puts the key in the lock. He turns the key. The lock clicks. The gate opens.
+
+"Wow, it works!" Tom says. He pushes the gate. "Let's go outside."
+
+"No, Tom, we can't," Mia says. "That's not our place. We have to stay in the park."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He runs outside. He wants to explore. Mia follows him. She does not want to leave him alone.
+
+They go outside. They see a big road. They see a lot of cars. They see a lot of people. They see a lot of unknown things. They are scared. They do not know where they are. They do not know how to go back.
+
+"Tom, I want to go back," Mia says. "This is not fun. This is scary."
+
+"Me too," Tom says. "But how do we go back? I don't remember which gate we opened."
+
+They look for the gate. They see a lot of gates. They see a lot of locks. They do not know which key they have. They do not know which lock they opened. They are lost. They are sad. They cry.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom and Mia shout. "We want to go back to the park. We want to go back to our mom and dad."
+Lily and Tom like to play in the park. They see a big hill with a hole. They want to see what is inside. They run to the hill and look at the hole. It is dark and deep.
+
+"Let's go in!" Tom says. "It is a cave. Maybe we can find treasure."
+
+Lily is scared. She does not like the dark. She thinks the cave is difficult and dangerous. She says, "No, Tom. It is too dark. We can get lost. Or meet a monster. Let's play somewhere else."
+
+Tom is brave. He wants to explore the cave. He says, "Don't be scared, Lily. It is fun. I have a flashlight. We can see everything. Come on, follow me."
+
+He goes into the cave. Lily does not want to be alone. She follows him. They walk in the cave. They see rocks and dirt. They hear water and wind. They do not see treasure. They do not see monsters. They see a dead end.
+
+Tom is disappointed. He says, "This is boring. There is nothing here. Let's go back."
+
+Lily is relieved. She says, "Yes, let's go back. I don't like the cave. It is difficult and scary. Let's play in the sun."
+
+They turn around and walk back. They see the light at the end of the hole. They are happy. They run out of the cave. They play in the park. They forget about the cave. They have fun.

+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But they do not like to tidy up when they are done. Mommy always tells them to put their toys away, but they do not listen.
+
+One day, Mommy has to go to the store. She says, "Lily and Ben, I will be back soon. Please be good and tidy up your toys. And do not touch the milk in the fridge. It is for your baby brother. He needs it to grow big and strong."
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Okay, Mommy. We will be good." But as soon as Mommy leaves, they forget what she said. They keep playing with their toys and make a big mess. They also feel hungry and thirsty. They go to the kitchen and see the milk in the fridge. They think, "Milk is yummy. We want some too."
+
+They open the fridge and take out the milk. They pour some in two cups and drink it. They do not notice that they spill some on the floor. They also do not notice that their baby brother wakes up and starts to cry in his crib.
+
+Soon, Mommy comes back. She hears the baby crying and runs to his room. She sees that he has no milk in his bottle. She is very worried and angry. She goes to the kitchen and sees the mess. She sees Lily and Ben with their cups of milk. She says, "Lily and Ben, what have you done? You drank the milk that was for your baby brother. He is hungry and sad. You did not protect him. You did not tidy up your toys. You did not listen to me. You are very naughty."
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry and scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mommy. We did not mean to. We were hungry and thirsty. We like milk. We forgot what you said."
+
+Mommy says, "That is no excuse. You have to share and care for your baby brother. He is your family. You have to protect him. You also have to tidy up your toys. They are not safe on the floor. You have to listen to me. I love you, but I am also your teacher. I teach you what is right and wrong."
+
+Lily and Ben say, "We love you, Mommy. We will try to be better. We will protect our baby brother. We will tidy up our toys. We will listen to you."
+
+Mommy says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. I forgive you. But you have to learn from your mistake. Now, help me clean up the kitchen. Then, we will give some milk to your baby brother. And then, we will play with your toys together. But this time, we will put them away when we are done."
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Okay, Mommy. We will help you. We will give some milk to our baby brother. We will play with our toys together. And we will put them away when we are done."
+Sara and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to make big stacks of different colors. Sara made a tall stack of red blocks. Ben made a long stack of blue blocks. They were happy.
+
+But then, Tom came. Tom was older and mean. He did not like to share. He wanted all the blocks for himself. He saw Sara's and Ben's stacks and got angry.
+
+"Those are my blocks!" he shouted. "Give them to me!"
+
+He ran to Sara's stack and tried to remove it. But Sara was quick. She grabbed her stack and held it tight.
+
+"No, Tom! These are mine! Go away!" she said.
+
+Tom was stronger. He pulled hard and made Sara fall. He took her stack and threw it away. The blocks flew everywhere. Sara cried.
+
+Ben saw what Tom did. He was scared, but also brave. He did not want Tom to take his stack too. He had an idea. He saw a deep hole in the ground. He dug it with his shovel. He put some leaves and dirt on top. He made a trap.
+
+He moved his stack near the hole. He waited for Tom.
+
+Tom saw Ben's stack. He smiled. He thought he could take it easily. He ran to Ben's stack and reached for it.
+
+But then, he stepped on the hole. He fell inside. He was stuck. He screamed.
+
+Ben ran to Sara. He helped her up. He gave her some of his blocks. They made a new stack together. They were happy.
+
+Tom learned a lesson. He should not be mean and greedy. He should share and play nice. He said sorry to Sara and Ben. They helped him out of the hole. They gave him some blocks. They played together. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. Sometimes they made funny noises and pretended to be cars or animals.
+
+But today, Ben wanted to do something different. He wanted to make a big pile of blocks and knock it down. He thought it would be fun to see the blocks fly everywhere.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's make a big pile!" he said.
+
+"No, Ben, I don't want to," Lily said. "I like to make towers. They are pretty and tall."
+
+Ben did not listen. He took some of Lily's blocks and added them to his pile. He made the pile higher and higher. He did not care if it was wobbly or not.
+
+"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lily said. "You are taking my blocks. And your pile is going to fall. It is not safe."
+
+Ben did not stop. He wanted to make the biggest pile ever. He reached for the last block on the table. It was a red block with a tip. He thought it would be perfect for the top of his pile.
+
+But Lily did not want him to take it. She grabbed the block and held it tight. She tried to resist Ben's pull. She did not want to see her blocks get ruined.
+
+"Let go, Lily, let go!" Ben said. "I need this block. It is mine."
+
+"No, Ben, no!" Lily said. "It is mine. And you are being mean. You are not sharing."
+
+They both pulled and pulled. They did not notice that their pile was shaking. They did not see that it was about to fall.
+
+Suddenly, the pile collapsed. The blocks crashed to the floor. They made a loud noise. They scattered everywhere. Some of them hit Ben and Lily. They both cried out.
+
+They let go of the block. They looked at each other. They looked at the mess. They felt sorry and sad.
+
+They realized that they had been silly. They had not been good friends. They had not had fun.
+
+They hugged each other. They said they were sorry. They decided to clean up the blocks. They decided to play together nicely. They decided to make something ordinary and simple. They decided to make a heart.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, Lily found a shiny box in her room. She opened it and saw a wand with a star on it.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Lily asked.
+
+"It is a magic wand!" Tom said. "Maybe it can do things."
+
+Lily and Tom took the wand and went outside. They saw a bird in a tree. Lily pointed the wand at the bird and said, "Fly, bird, fly!"
+
+The bird flew away and made a happy sound. Lily and Tom clapped and laughed.
+
+"Let me try!" Tom said. He took the wand and saw a flower in the grass. He pointed the wand at the flower and said, "Grow, flower, grow!"
+
+The flower grew bigger and brighter. Lily and Tom smiled and sniffed it.
+
+"This is so fun!" Lily said. "What else can we do?"
+
+They saw a dog in the yard. Tom pointed the wand at the dog and said, "Talk, dog, talk!"
+
+The dog looked at them and said, "Woof, woof, woof!"
+
+Lily and Tom gasped and giggled.
+
+"Did you hear that?" Lily asked. "The dog talked!"
+
+"Yes, he did!" Tom said. "This wand is perfect!"
+
+They hugged the dog and gave him a treat. Then they gave the wand back to the box and put it in Lily's room.
+
+"Thank you, magic wand!" they said. "You made our day perfect!"
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. But sometimes they disagree. Sara likes to swing high. Ben likes to slide fast. One day, they have a big fight.
+
+"I want to swing!" Sara says.
+
+"No, I want to slide!" Ben says.
+
+They pull and push each other. They are not nice. They are not happy.
+
+Then, they see something shiny in the grass. They stop fighting. They run to the shiny thing. It is a key. A big, old, metal key.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Sara says.
+
+"Maybe it is a secret key," Ben says.
+
+They look around. They see a small door in the fence. It is old and rusty. It has a lock.
+
+"Maybe the key fits the lock," Sara says.
+
+"Let's try it," Ben says.
+
+They go to the door. They put the key in the lock. They turn the key. The lock clicks. The door opens.
+
+They see a garden. A beautiful, colorful, magical garden. There are flowers and trees and birds and butterflies. There is a pond and a bridge and a fountain. There is a clear sky and a bright sun.
+
+They gasp. They smile. They hold hands.
+
+They forget their fight. They enter the garden. They have a new adventure. They are friends again.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to draw. She had many crayons and papers to make beautiful pictures. She liked to draw flowers, animals, and houses. She was very happy when she showed her pictures to her mommy and daddy.
+
+One day, Sara saw a big newspaper on the table. She thought it was a paper for drawing. She took some crayons and started to make a picture on the newspaper. She drew a big sun, a rainbow, and a butterfly. She was very proud of her picture.
+
+But when her daddy came home, he was very angry. He saw the newspaper and saw Sara's picture. He said, "Sara, what did you do? This is not a paper for drawing. This is a newspaper for reading. You ruined it. You are a bad girl." He took the newspaper and threw it in the trash.
+
+Sara was very sad and scared. She did not know that the newspaper was not for drawing. She did not want to make her daddy angry. She wanted to make him happy. She started to cry. She ran to her mommy and hugged her.
+
+Her mommy saw Sara crying and heard what happened. She said, "Sara, it's okay. You did not mean to do something bad. You just wanted to draw a beautiful picture. Daddy was just surprised and upset. He loves you very much. He will calm down soon. Come, let's go and make him a new picture. Maybe we can find another paper for drawing. Or we can use a cardboard or a cloth. We can make something nice for daddy. He will like it. He will smile and hug you. He will say he is sorry. He will say you are a good girl. He will say you are his beautiful girl." She wiped Sara's tears and took her hand.
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She felt better. She loved her mommy and daddy. She wanted to make them happy. She followed her mommy and looked for something to draw on. She hoped her daddy would like her new picture. She hoped he would not be angry anymore. She hoped he would love her picture. She hoped he would love her.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They see many flowers that bloom. Bloom means they open and show their colors. Sara and Ben think the flowers are pretty.
+
+One day, they find a big tank in the garden. A tank is a metal box that can hold water or other things. Sara and Ben wonder what is inside the tank. They try to open it, but it is too heavy.
+
+They see a man walking by. He is wearing a hat and a tool belt. He looks helpful. Sara and Ben call him. "Hello, mister. Can you help us open the tank?"
+
+The man smiles and walks over. He sees the tank and says, "Oh, this is my tank. I use it to water the flowers. Do you want to see how it works?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They are curious. The man opens a valve and a hose. He turns on the water and sprays the flowers. The flowers look happy and wet. Sara and Ben laugh and clap. They thank the man for showing them his tank.
+
+The man says, "You're welcome, kids. You can help me water the flowers if you want. It's fun and good for the plants."
+
+Sara and Ben agree. They take turns holding the hose and spraying the water. They enjoy playing with the tank and the flowers. They learn how to be helpful and make things bloom.
+Sara likes to make things with cardboard. She cuts and paints and glues cardboard to make animals and houses and cars. She has a lot of cardboard things in her room.
+
+One day, her teacher says they will have a display at school. A display is when you show your things to other people. Sara wants to show her cardboard things. She puts them in a big bag and takes them to school.
+
+At school, she sees that other children have brought things too. Some have drawings and paintings, some have toys and books, some have plants and flowers. Sara finds a table and puts her cardboard things on it. She is proud of her things.
+
+Then she sees Ben. Ben is sad. He did not bring anything for the display. He says he has nothing to show. Sara feels sorry for Ben. She wants to be kind to him. She thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea.
+
+She goes to Ben and says, "Do you want to share my things? You can pick some of my cardboard things and put them on the table too. Then we can have a display together." Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. I like your cardboard things. They are fun and colorful." He picks a cardboard car and a cardboard house and puts them next to Sara's things. They look good together.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They have a display with their cardboard things. They show their things to their teacher and their friends. Everyone likes their things. They say, "Sara and Ben, you are very creative and kind. You made a great display with cardboard." Sara and Ben feel proud and glad. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing a game of hide and seek. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She checked under the bed, behind the sofa, and in the closet. She could not find him.
+
+"Where are you, Ben?" Lily called out. "I give up. You win."
+
+Ben heard Lily and came out of his hiding spot. He was in the bathroom, behind the shower curtain. He smiled and said, "I found a good place, huh?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, you did. You are very good at hiding. But that is not fair. You know I am afraid of the bathroom. It is dark and scary."
+
+Ben felt sorry for Lily. He did not want to make her feel bad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not know you were afraid of the bathroom. I just wanted to play the game. Do you want to play again? You can hide and I will seek."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked playing with Ben, but she did not like the bathroom. She said, "Okay, let's play again. But no hiding in the bathroom, okay? That is the rule."
+
+Ben agreed and said, "Okay, no hiding in the bathroom. That is fair. You count and I will hide. But don't surrender too soon. I will find a new place."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Okay, I won't surrender. I will find you. Ready, set, go!" She started counting and Ben ran to find a new hiding spot. They played the game until their mom called them for lunch. They had fun and they were fair.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to paint with their fingers and toes. They have many colors of paint in their room. One day, they want to paint on the big wall in the living room.
+
+"Let's paint a rainbow on the wall!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, let's do it!" Lily says.
+
+They take their paint and run to the living room. They start to paint with their hands and feet. They make red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple on the wall. They are happy and proud.
+
+But then, Mom comes home. She sees the wall and gets very angry.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom yells. "This is not paper, this is the wall! You have made a big mess! And this paint is cheap, it will not come off!"
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They did not know Mom would be mad. They thought they were making something pretty.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Tom says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Lily says.
+
+Mom sighs. She loves her twins, but they are very naughty. She takes them to the bathroom and washes their hands and feet. Then she takes them to their room and gives them paper and crayons.
+
+"Next time, if you want to paint, use paper and crayons, not the wall and cheap paint," Mom says. "Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, Mom," Tom and Lily say.
+
+They hug Mom and say they love her. Mom hugs them back and says she loves them too. But she still has to clean the wall. She hopes the paint will come off.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with a ball in the park. They kick the ball to each other and say "pass, pass, pass".
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball and runs to it. The dog grabs the ball with its mouth and runs away. Lily and Ben are sad and angry.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Lily shouts. "Give it back, you bad dog!"
+
+The dog does not listen. It thinks the ball is its toy. It runs around the park, making loud noises. The dog is crazy.
+
+Lily and Ben chase the dog. They want their ball back. They run fast, but the dog is faster. The dog goes to the pond and jumps in. The ball gets wet and dirty.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Ben yells. "You are ruining our ball!"
+
+The dog does not care. It swims in the pond, playing with the ball. It splashes water everywhere. The dog is happy.
+
+Lily and Ben are tired and wet. They sit on the grass and watch the dog. They are sad and angry.
+
+"That dog is mean," Lily says. "It stole our ball."
+
+Ben nods. He has an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can get another ball," he says. "A bigger and better ball. One that the dog cannot steal."
+
+Lily smiles. She likes Ben's idea.
+
+"OK," she says. "Let's go to the shop and buy a new ball. A red ball. Red is my favorite color."
+
+Ben agrees. He likes red too.
+
+They get up and hold hands. They walk to the shop, leaving the dog and the ball behind. They are friends. They are happy.
+Timmy loved trains. He had many toy trains that he played with every day. He liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. He wanted to see real trains, but his mom said they were too far away.
+
+One day, his mom had a surprise for him. She said they were going to visit his cousin Lily, who lived near a train station. Timmy was very happy. He packed his toy trains in a bag and got ready to go.
+
+When they arrived at Lily's house, Timmy saw a big train outside. He ran to the window and watched it with wonder. He wanted to go closer and touch it. He asked his mom if they could go outside.
+
+"Sure, Timmy, but first we have to say hello to Lily and her mom. They invited us to have lunch with them. It is not nice to ignore them."
+
+Timmy nodded. He followed his mom inside and greeted Lily and her mom. Lily was also three years old, but she did not like trains. She liked dolls and dresses. She had many dolls that she played with every day. She wanted to show them to Timmy.
+
+"Timmy, do you want to play with my dolls? They are very pretty and have nice clothes. You can dress them up and comb their hair."
+
+Timmy shook his head. He did not like dolls. He thought they were boring and cheap. He wanted to play with his trains.
+
+"No, thank you, Lily. I want to play with my trains. They are very cool and have fast wheels. You can make them go and stop and make noises."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not like trains. She thought they were noisy and dirty. She wanted to play with her dolls.
+
+"No, thank you, Timmy. I don't want to play with your trains. They are very loud and ugly. They make me dizzy and hurt my ears."
+
+Timmy and Lily looked at each other and did not say anything. They did not want to play together. They sat on opposite sides of the room and played with their own toys. They did not have fun.
+
+Their moms noticed that they were not getting along. They felt sad. They wanted them to be friends and share their toys. They decided to talk to them.
+
+"Timmy, Lily, why are you not playing together? You are cousins and you should be nice to each other. You both have wonderful toys that you can enjoy together. You can learn from each other and have more fun."
+
+Timmy and Lily looked at their moms and then at each other. They realized that they were being rude and selfish. They felt sorry. They decided to try to play together.
+
+"Timmy, I'm sorry I said your trains were ugly. They are not. They are very cool and fast. Can I play with them with you?"
+
+Lily said.
+
+"Lily, I'm sorry I said your dolls were cheap. They are not. They are very pretty and have nice clothes. Can I play with them with you?"
+
+Timmy said.
+
+They smiled and nodded. They exchanged their toys and started to play together. They found out that they both liked to make stories and sounds with their toys. They had fun.
+
+They also went outside and saw the real train. They were amazed by how big and shiny it was. They waved to the driver and the passengers. They took pictures and pretended to be on a trip.
+
+They had a great day. They learned that they could like different things and still be friends. They learned to share and respect each other. They learned to be grateful for their toys and their family. They learned to be happy.
+Lily liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Lily loved to smell the sweet things in the oven. She wanted to help her mom put the things in and take them out.
+
+One day, mom had to go to the store. She told Lily to stay in the living room and watch TV. She said she would be back soon. Lily said okay, but she was bored. She wanted to bake something by herself. She thought she was big enough.
+
+She went to the kitchen and found a box of cake mix. She read the words on the box. She knew some of them. She saw a picture of a cake. She wanted to make that cake. She got a bowl and a spoon and some water. She poured the mix and the water in the bowl. She stirred and stirred. She made a big mess.
+
+She looked for a pan to put the cake in. She saw one on the stove. She did not know it was hot. She reached for it and burned her hand. She screamed and dropped the pan. The cake mix spilled all over the floor. It was sticky and gooey.
+
+Mom came back and heard Lily scream. She ran to the kitchen and saw the mess. She saw Lily's hand. She was angry and scared. She took Lily to the sink and ran cold water over her hand. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You could have hurt yourself very badly. You should never touch the stove or the pans. You should never bake without me. You are not lucky. You are naughty."
+
+Lily cried and said she was sorry. She wanted to make a cake for mom. She wanted to be a good helper. She did not mean to make a mess or burn her hand. She was sad and sorry.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said she loved her. She said she was glad Lily was not hurt worse. She said they would clean up the mess together. She said they would bake another day, when Lily was older and listened better. She said Lily was still her sweet girl, but she had to learn to be careful and follow the rules. She said maybe Lily was a little lucky, after all.
+Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tube that they can go inside. Lila goes first. She crawls in the tube and comes out the other end. She laughs and says, "That was fun!"
+
+Ben wants to try too. He crawls in the tube, but he stops in the middle. He sees a small hole in the top of the tube. He looks up and sees the sky. He thinks, "I want to see more."
+
+He stands up in the tube and tries to balance on his feet. He puts his hands on the sides of the tube. He feels the tube move. He says, "Whoa, this is hard!"
+
+Lila hears Ben. She says, "Ben, what are you doing? Come out of the tube!"
+
+Ben says, "I'm trying to see the sky. It's so blue and bright. The tube is so dull and dark."
+
+Lila says, "Ben, that's not safe. You can fall and hurt yourself. The tube is not for standing. It's for crawling. Come on, let's go play something else."
+
+Ben says, "Okay, okay. I'm coming." He sits down and crawls out of the tube. He joins Lila and they run to the swings. They forget about the tube and have fun.
+Anna liked to cook with her mom. They had a big pan and a lot of food. They cooked eggs and cheese and bread and jam. Anna helped to stir and pour and cut. She felt very happy and proud.
+
+"Mom, can I wear your fancy hat?" Anna asked. She saw a shiny hat on the shelf. It had feathers and flowers and sparkles. It looked very pretty.
+
+"Sure, you can wear it, but be careful. It is very old and special. It was my mom's hat. She gave it to me when I was a little girl like you." Mom said. She smiled and put the hat on Anna's head.
+
+Anna felt very fancy. She walked around the kitchen with the hat. She pretended to be a queen. She said hello to the cat and the dog and the fish. She waved to the birds outside the window.
+
+"Look at me, mom. I am a fancy cook. I can make anything." Anna said.
+
+"You are a fancy cook, Anna. And a very good one. You made a delicious breakfast for us. Thank you." Mom said. She hugged Anna and kissed her cheek.
+
+They sat down and ate their breakfast. They shared the eggs and cheese and bread and jam. They talked and laughed and enjoyed their food. Anna wore the fancy hat all morning. She felt very happy and proud.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. It is hidden behind some trees. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy or a cake," Lily says.
+
+"Or maybe it is a monster or a snake," Ben says.
+
+They open the box. It is very dark. They smell something bad. They see something brown and soft. It is a banana. But it is not a good banana. It is a rot banana.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily says. "This banana is rot. It is not a toy or a cake."
+
+"Let's throw it away," Ben says. "It is not a monster or a snake."
+
+They pick up the banana. But it is too soft. It breaks in their hands. The rot banana is on their fingers and clothes. It is sticky and smelly.
+
+"Help!" Lily says. "The rot banana is on us. It is gross."
+
+"Run!" Ben says. "We need to wash it off."
+
+They run to the fountain. But they are too late. A big dog sees them. It likes the smell of the rot banana. It chases them. It barks and jumps. It wants to eat the rot banana. And them.
+
+"Help!" Lily and Ben say. "The dog is after us. It is scary."
+
+They try to hide. But the dog finds them. It bites their legs and arms. It hurts them. They cry and scream. No one hears them. No one helps them.
+
+The dog eats the rot banana. And them. They are gone. The box is empty. The park is quiet. The end.
+Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play in the garden. They saw many interesting things there. They saw flowers, bugs, birds and a big tree.
+
+One day, they found a strange plant. It had a long green stem and a big red nose. The nose smelled funny. Ben and Lily wondered what it was.
+
+"Look, Lily, a nose plant!" Ben said.
+
+"A nose plant? That's silly, Ben. Plants don't have noses," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it's a magic plant. Maybe it can talk," Ben said.
+
+He touched the nose gently. The nose sneezed. Ben and Lily jumped back. They were scared and surprised.
+
+"Sorry, sorry. I have a cold," the nose plant said.
+
+Ben and Lily stared at the nose plant. They couldn't believe it. The nose plant could talk.
+
+"Who are you?" Ben asked.
+
+"I'm a snooty. I'm a very rare and interesting plant. I grow from seeds that come from far away. I like to smell things and tell stories," the nose plant said.
+
+"Wow, you are amazing. Can we be your friends?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can. I'm lonely here. No one ever talks to me. You can come and visit me anytime. I have many stories to tell you," the nose plant said.
+
+Ben and Lily smiled. They were happy. They had found a new and interesting friend. They decided to call him Snooty the nose plant. They played with him every day. They learned many things from him. They had fun in the garden.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy train. They liked to make the train go fast and slow, and to change the tracks. They had a big box of tracks that they could use to make different shapes.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have an idea!" Lily said. "Let's make a loop with the tracks. Then the train can go upside down!"
+
+Ben nodded. He thought that was a good idea. He helped Lily to find the flexible tracks that could bend into a loop. They worked together to make a big loop in the middle of the floor.
+
+"Wow, that looks fun!" Ben said. "Let's try it!"
+
+They put the train on the tracks and turned it on. The train started to move along the tracks, faster and faster. It reached the loop and went up, up, up. Ben and Lily watched with excitement. Would the train make it?
+
+The train went over the top of the loop and came down, down, down. It stayed on the tracks and kept going. Ben and Lily clapped and cheered.
+
+"Yay, it did it!" Lily said. "That was awesome!"
+
+Ben agreed. He smiled and hugged Lily. They were very happy. They decided to make more loops and see how many the train could do. They had a lot of fun with their toy train.
+Anna loves to dance. She dances every day in her room. She has a pink dress and a shiny crown. She wants to be a dancer when she grows up.
+
+One day, Anna goes to a dance class with her mom. She sees many other children who also love to dance. They have different dresses and crowns. Anna thinks her dress and crown are the best.
+
+The teacher tells the children to stand in a circle and hold hands. She says they will learn a new dance together. Anna does not want to hold hands. She wants to dance by herself. She thinks she is the best dancer.
+
+She lets go of the other children's hands and runs to the middle of the circle. She spins and jumps and twirls. She does not look at the other children. She only looks at herself in the mirror.
+
+The other children are sad and angry. They say, "Anna, stop! You are being selfish! You are not behaving! You are ruining the dance!"
+
+The teacher is also sad and angry. She says, "Anna, come back to the circle! You are not listening! You are not being a good dancer! You are being rude!"
+
+Anna does not care. She keeps dancing by herself. She thinks she is having fun. But she is not. She is lonely. She does not have any friends. She does not know how to dance with others. She does not know how to share. She does not know how to behave.
+Tim did not want to go to bed. He wanted to play with his toys and watch TV. He said no to Mom and Dad when they told him it was time to sleep. He cried and kicked and made a lot of noise.
+
+Mom and Dad were very unhappy. They said Tim was being naughty and rude. They said he had to go to bed or he would have no toys and no TV tomorrow. They carried him to his room and put him in his bed. They turned off the light and closed the door.
+
+Tim felt miserable. He did not like his bed. He did not like the dark. He did not like being alone. He wished he had said yes to Mom and Dad. He wished he had thanked them for the toys and the TV. He wished he had hugged them and said good night.
+
+He heard a soft sound outside his door. It was his teddy bear. Mom and Dad had left it for him. He saw a little light under the door. It was a night light. Mom and Dad had plugged it in for him. He felt a little better. He grabbed his teddy bear and hugged it. He whispered thank you to Mom and Dad. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. They have a big box to keep their toys.
+
+One day, Mom says, "Tom and Mia, it is time to sort your toys. You have too many toys in the box. You need to give some toys to other kids who do not have toys. You can keep the toys you love the most."
+
+Tom and Mia do not want to give away their toys. They love all their toys. They say, "No, Mom, we want to keep all our toys. They are ours."
+
+Mom says, "You can keep some toys, but not all. You have to sort your toys into two piles. One pile for the toys you want to keep, and one pile for the toys you want to give away. You have to be fair and share. You have ten minutes to sort your toys."
+
+Tom and Mia start to sort their toys. They have a hard time deciding which toys to keep and which to give away. They argue and fight over some toys. They want to keep the same toys.
+
+They see a gray toy elephant. It is light and soft. It makes a funny sound when you squeeze it. They both love the gray toy elephant. They both want to keep it.
+
+They say, "I want the gray toy elephant. It is mine. You can have another toy."
+
+They pull and tug on the gray toy elephant. They do not want to let go. They do not want to share.
+
+The gray toy elephant rips in half. They hear a loud pop. The gray toy elephant stops making the funny sound. They see white fluff coming out of the gray toy elephant.
+
+They both feel sad. They both cry. They broke their favorite toy. They wish they had shared.
+
+Mom hears them cry. She comes to see what happened. She sees the broken gray toy elephant and the white fluff. She sees the two piles of toys. She sees Tom and Mia's tears.
+
+She says, "Oh, Tom and Mia, I am sorry. You broke your gray toy elephant. It was a nice toy. You should have shared it. Sharing is caring. Now you have no gray toy elephant to play with."
+
+She hugs them and says, "But I have an idea. Maybe we can fix the gray toy elephant. Maybe we can sew it back together. Maybe we can make it work again. Do you want to try?"
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They say, "Yes, Mom, we want to try. We want to fix the gray toy elephant. We want to make it work again. We want to share it. We are sorry."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's good. I am proud of you. Let's go and find some thread and a needle. Let's go and fix the gray toy elephant. Let's go and make it happy again."
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a rod that made loud noises when they pressed a button. They called it their noise rod.
+
+One day, they were playing with their noise rod in their room, when their mom came in. She said, "Boys, it's time to clean up your toys. You have too many, and some of them are broken. You need to value what you have, and share with others who have less."
+
+Ben and Sam did not want to clean up their toys, or give any away. They said, "No, mom, we love our toys. We don't want to share. And we especially love our noise rod. It's the best toy ever."
+
+Mom said, "You are being selfish and rude. If you don't clean up your toys, and give some away, I will take away your noise rod. You need to learn to be grateful and generous."
+
+Ben and Sam did not listen to mom. They kept playing with their noise rod, and making loud noises. They said, "We don't care, mom. We don't need to clean up. We don't need to share. We only need our noise rod. It's the only toy that matters."
+
+Mom was very angry and sad. She said, "Fine, boys, you leave me no choice. You have lost your noise rod. I will give it to someone who will value it and use it well. Maybe then you will realize how lucky you are to have so many toys."
+
+She took away their noise rod, and left their room. Ben and Sam cried and screamed. They wanted their noise rod back. They realized they had made a big mistake. They had lost their favorite toy, and hurt their mom's feelings. They wished they had listened to mom, and cleaned up their toys, and shared with others. But it was too late. They had no noise rod, and no fun. They had a bad ending.
+Lily and Sam were in the car with Mom. They were going to the park to play. Lily liked the park. She liked the swings and the slide and the sandbox. Sam liked the park too. He liked the seesaw and the monkey bars and the ball.
+
+Mom was a good driver. She drove fast but safe. She knew the way to the park. She followed the signs and the lights. She sang along to the songs on the radio. Lily and Sam sang with her. They were happy.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big truck came out of nowhere. It was loud and dirty and scary. It did not stop at the red light. It hit the car. The car spun and crashed. Mom screamed. Lily and Sam cried.
+
+Mom was hurt. She had blood on her face and her arm. She could not move. She told Lily and Sam to stay calm. She said help was coming. She said she loved them.
+
+Lily and Sam were scared. They wanted to hug Mom. They wanted to make her feel better. But they could not reach her. The seat belt was too tight. The door was too bent. They felt alone and trapped.
+
+Then, they heard a siren. It was an ambulance. It had a flashing light and a loud horn. It stopped near the car. A man and a woman got out. They wore white clothes and had bags and tools. They were helpers. They came to the car. They saw Mom and Lily and Sam. They said they were here to help. They said everything would be okay.
+
+They used the tools to cut the seat belt and open the door. They took Mom out of the car. They put her on a stretcher. They gave her a mask and a blanket. They said she was brave and strong. They said they would take her to the hospital.
+
+They took Lily and Sam out of the car too. They checked them for injuries. They said they were lucky and fine. They gave them stickers and teddy bears. They said they were brave and strong too. They said they would take them to the hospital to see Mom.
+
+They put Lily and Sam in the ambulance with Mom. They closed the door. They drove away. The ambulance was smooth and fast. It had a radio too. It played a song that Mom liked. Lily and Sam sang with her. They held her hand. They felt safe.
+Tim likes to write. He writes with a crayon on a big paper. He writes his name, and a house, and a sun. He is happy with his writing.
+
+But then, a judge comes. The judge is a big man with a gray suit and a gray hat. He has a red pen in his hand. He looks at Tim's writing and says, "This is bad. This is not writing. This is scribbling. You need to write better."
+
+Tim feels sad. He does not like the judge. He does not like the red pen. He says, "No, this is my writing. I like my writing. You are mean. Go away."
+
+The judge is angry. He says, "How dare you talk to me like that? I am a judge. I know what is good and what is bad. You need to listen to me and learn from me."
+
+But then, Tim's mom comes. She is a kind woman with a blue dress and a blue hat. She has a smile on her face. She looks at Tim's writing and says, "This is wonderful. This is your writing. You are creative and smart. I am proud of you."
+
+Tim feels happy. He likes his mom. He likes her smile. He says, "Thank you, mom. You are nice. You understand me."
+
+The judge is confused. He says, "But how can you say that? This is not writing. This is scribbling. You are not teaching him anything."
+
+But Tim's mom says, "No, this is writing. This is his expression. I am encouraging him to explore and have fun. You are not helping him. You are hurting him."
+
+The judge is silent. He does not know what to say. He feels ashamed. He puts his red pen away and leaves.
+
+Tim hugs his mom. He says, "I love you, mom. You are the best."
+
+Tim's mom hugs him back. She says, "I love you, too, Tim. You are the best."
+Lily and Tom are hungry. They want to eat some cake. They know there is cake in the fridge. But they also know that Mom said no cake before dinner.
+
+They look at each other. They have a plan. They wait until Mom goes to the bathroom. Then they run to the kitchen. They open the fridge. They see the cake. It is big and yummy.
+
+They take the cake out of the fridge. They put it on the table. They grab a knife and a plate. They cut a big slice of cake. They share it. They eat it fast. It is sweet and soft.
+
+They hear Mom coming back. They panic. They run to the living room. They hide the knife and the plate under the sofa. They pretend to play with their toys.
+
+Mom enters the living room. She sees Lily and Tom. She smiles. She says, "What are you two doing?"
+
+Lily and Tom say, "Nothing, Mom. Just playing."
+
+Mom says, "Are you sure? You look a bit fat. Did you eat something?"
+
+Lily and Tom shake their heads. They say, "No, Mom. We are not fat. We are just happy."
+
+Mom says, "OK, then. Dinner will be ready soon. Come and wash your hands."
+
+Lily and Tom say, "OK, Mom. We love you."
+
+They hug Mom. They hope she does not find out about the cake. They think they are very clever. But they do not know that Mom saw the crumbs on their faces.
+Sara loved her pony, Spot. He was brown and white and had a long tail. Sara liked to brush his hair and feed him carrots. But Spot was very smelly. He liked to roll in the mud and the grass. Sara's mom said he needed a bath.
+
+One day, Sara and Spot went for a walk in the woods. They saw many birds and flowers and bugs. Sara was happy and Spot was happy. But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It was coming fast and it did not see them.
+
+"Spot, run!" Sara said. She pulled on his rope and tried to get away. But Spot was scared and he did not move. The truck was getting closer and closer. Sara was scared too. She did not know what to do.
+
+But then she saw a big rock. It was near the road and it had a hole in it. Sara had an idea. She jumped off Spot and ran to the rock. She grabbed a stick and waved it in the air. She shouted at the truck.
+
+"Hey, hey, stop!" Sara yelled. She hoped the truck would see her and stop. She hoped Spot would follow her and hide in the hole.
+
+The truck saw Sara and the stick. It slowed down and stopped. The driver got out and looked at Sara. He was angry and confused.
+
+"What are you doing, kid?" he asked. "Why are you waving that stick at me?"
+
+Sara pointed at Spot. He was still on the road, but he was moving. He saw Sara and the hole. He ran to her and squeezed in the hole. He was safe.
+
+"I'm sorry, mister," Sara said. "But you almost hit my pony. He's my best friend. He's very smelly, but I love him."
+
+The driver looked at Spot. He saw his brown and white hair and his long tail. He saw the mud and the grass on him. He smelled him. He was very smelly.
+
+"Your pony?" he said. "That's your pony? He looks like a pig."
+
+Sara frowned. She did not like that. She loved Spot, even if he was smelly.
+
+"He's not a pig, he's a pony," Sara said. "And he's very brave. He saved me from the truck. He's a hero."
+
+The driver looked at Sara and Spot again. He saw their eyes and their smiles. He saw how much they cared for each other. He felt sorry for being angry.
+
+"I'm sorry, kid," he said. "You're right. He's a pony. And he's a hero. And you're a hero too. You saved him from the truck. You're both very brave."
+
+He got back in his truck and drove away. He waved at Sara and Spot and smiled. Sara and Spot waved back and smiled. They were happy. They had saved each other. They were best friends.
+Lila was sad. She missed her mom. She was at grandma's house for the night. Grandma was nice, but Lila wanted mom.
+
+"Grandma, can I call mom?" Lila asked.
+
+"Not now, my dear. Mom is at work. She will call us later. Why don't you play with your toys?" Grandma said.
+
+Lila nodded. She went to her room. She saw her stack of books. She liked books. She picked one and opened it. It was about a dog and a cat. She read the words. She smiled a little.
+
+Then she heard a noise. It was from the kitchen. She smelled something spicy. She went to see. Grandma was cooking.
+
+"What are you making, grandma?" Lila asked.
+
+"I'm making soup, my dear. It's good for cold days. Do you want to help me?" Grandma said.
+
+Lila nodded. She climbed on a chair. Grandma gave her a spoon. She stirred the soup. She tasted it. It was warm and spicy. She liked it.
+
+"Thank you, grandma. You make good soup. It makes me feel better." Lila said.
+
+"You're welcome, my dear. I'm glad you like it. You know what else makes me feel better? A big hug." Grandma said.
+
+She hugged Lila. Lila hugged her back. She felt grandma's love. She felt comfort. She was not so sad anymore. She waited for mom's call. She knew mom loved her too.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy. Lily wanted to touch it.
+
+She reached out her hand and picked up the caterpillar. It tickled her fingers. She smiled and said, "Hello, caterpillar. You are my friend." She put the caterpillar in her pocket and ran to the house.
+
+She wanted to show her mom and dad her new friend. She ran into the kitchen, where her mom was making lunch. She said, "Mom, look what I found. It is a caterpillar. It is green and fuzzy."
+
+She opened her pocket and took out the caterpillar. But it was not a caterpillar anymore. It was a butterfly. It had wings with many colors. It flew out of her hand and around the room.
+
+Lily was surprised and sad. She said, "Where is my caterpillar? What happened to it? I want it back."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't be sad, Lily. Your caterpillar changed into a butterfly. That is what caterpillars do. They make a cocoon and then they open it and become butterflies. They are not your friends. They are wild animals. They need to live outside, not in your pocket."
+
+Lily looked at the butterfly. It was pretty, but she missed her caterpillar. She said, "I'm sorry, butterfly. I didn't know you would change. You can go now. Bye bye, butterfly."
+
+She opened the window and let the butterfly fly away. She watched it until it was gone. She felt a little better. She said, "Maybe I can find another caterpillar in the garden. Or maybe I can make a new friend with a different bug. A bug that doesn't change."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Lily. But remember, bugs are not toys. They are living things. You have to be gentle and careful with them. And you have to let them go when they want to go."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will be gentle and careful. And I will let them go. But can I still look at them and talk to them?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. You can look at them and talk to them. But don't put them in your pocket. That is terrible for them. They need air and space and food. They don't like to be in your pocket."
+
+Lily said, "OK, mom. I won't put them in my pocket. I will just look at them and talk to them. And maybe they will talk back to me. Maybe they will say, 'Hello, Lily. You are my friend.'"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Maybe they will, Lily. Maybe they will."
+Lily was a young girl who loved to play with her dog, Max. Max was a big, brown dog who was very friendly and adorable. He liked to run, jump, and fetch sticks with Lily in the park.
+
+One day, Lily and Max went to the park with Lily's mom. They saw a lot of other children and dogs there. Lily wanted to make new friends, so she ran towards a group of kids who were playing with a ball. She said, "Hi, can I play with you?"
+
+The other kids looked at Lily and smiled. They said, "Sure, you can play with us. What is your name?"
+
+Lily said, "My name is Lily, and this is my dog, Max. He is very nice and cute. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+The other kids nodded and went to Max. They said, "Hi, Max. You are a good dog. Can you sit?"
+
+Max wagged his tail and sat down. He let the kids pet him and scratch his ears. He was very happy and calm.
+
+Lily's mom watched from a bench and smiled. She was proud of Lily and Max for being friendly and polite. She said, "Lily, you and Max are doing great. I'm glad you are having fun with your new friends."
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big square made of wood. It has four holes in it. Sara and Ben want to go inside the square.
+
+"Let's hop inside the square!" Sara says. "It looks like fun!"
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "But be careful. The holes are big. We might fall."
+
+Sara and Ben hop from the grass to the square. They hop from one hole to another. They laugh and giggle. They pretend they are rabbits.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a sound. It is a soft and squeaky sound. They look around. They see a small and furry animal. It has long ears and a fluffy tail. It is a real rabbit!
+
+The rabbit is hopping inside the square too. It hops from one hole to another. It looks at Sara and Ben. It is not afraid. It is curious.

+
+"Give me the horn!" Lily says. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I like it more!"
+
+They pull and tug on the horn. They are angry and loud. A man sees them and comes over.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" he asks. "Why are you fighting over this horn?"
+
+"It is ours!" Lily and Ben say. "We found it!"
+
+The man shakes his head. He says, "This horn is not yours. It belongs to the circus. It is for the clowns to make funny noises. They lost it yesterday. I came to look for it."
+
+Lily and Ben are surprised. They look at the horn. They feel silly and sorry.
+
+"Oops, we did not know," Lily says.
+
+"Can we try it?" Ben asks.
+
+The man smiles. He says, "Sure, you can try it. But then you have to give it back. And you have to say sorry to each other. OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say sorry and hug. They take turns to blow the horn. It makes a loud and funny sound. They laugh and have fun. The man is happy. He says, "You are good kids. Now, let's go to the circus. Maybe you can see the clowns and the animals. Do you want to go?"
+
+Lily and Ben say yes. They give the horn back to the man. They hold his hands and walk to the circus. They are excited and curious. They want to see more. They are friends again.
+Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a picture of a robot on it.
+
+"Wow, a robot!" Sam says. "Let's open it!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Mia says. "Dad gave it to me for my birthday!"
+
+They start to pull the box from each other. They are very angry. The box rips and the robot falls out. It is shiny and smooth. It has buttons and lights.
+
+"Look, it's an x-ray robot!" Sam says. He presses a button. The robot makes a beep sound and a red light comes out of its eyes. It scans Sam's hand. "Cool, I can see my bones!"
+
+"Let me try!" Mia says. She grabs the robot from Sam. Sam tries to get it back. They fight over the robot. The robot makes a loud noise and stops working. It is broken.
+
+They are very sad. They hear Dad coming. They are scared. They hide the robot under a blanket.
+
+"Hi, kids!" Dad says. "What are you doing?"
+
+"Nothing!" Sam and Mia say.
+
+Dad sees the ripped box and the blanket. He lifts the blanket and sees the robot. He is not happy.
+
+"Did you break this?" he asks.
+
+Sam and Mia look at each other. They feel sorry.
+
+"Yes, we did," they say. "We are sorry, Dad."
+
+Dad sighs. He picks up the robot. He sees a sticker on it. It says: "For Sam and Mia. Happy birthday. Love, Dad."
+
+"I got this for both of you," he says. "It was a surprise. But you have to share it and be nice to each other. Can you do that?"
+
+Sam and Mia nod. They hug Dad.
+

+"OK, Dad," Sam and Mia say. They smile. They hope the robot will work again. They want to play with it together.
+Lila was a little girl who loved to dance. She liked to spin and jump and twirl in her pink dress. She wanted to be a graceful dancer like the ones she saw on TV.
+
+One day, her mom took her to a big store. There were many things to see and touch. Lila saw a shiny box with a picture of a dancer on it. She opened the box and found a white powder inside. She smelled it and it was sweet. She thought it was magic powder that would make her dance better.
+
+She took some powder and sprinkled it on her dress and her hair. She felt happy and excited. She ran to the middle of the store and started to dance. She did not see the people who were watching her. She did not hear her mom who was calling her name.
+
+But the powder was not magic. It was sugar. And it made a big mess. The sugar stuck to her dress and her hair and the floor. It also attracted many ants and bees. They came to eat the sugar and they bit Lila. She cried and screamed. She stopped dancing and ran to her mom.
+
+Her mom hugged her and took her to the bathroom. She washed the sugar and the bites off her. She was not angry, but she was sad. She told Lila that the powder was not for dancing, but for baking. She said that Lila should not take things that were not hers. She said that Lila should enjoy dancing with her own talent and not with tricks.
+
+Lila felt sorry and ashamed. She said she was sorry to her mom and to the store. She learned her lesson. She realized that dancing was not about looking graceful, but about having fun and being yourself. She promised to never use the powder again. She hugged her mom and said she loved her. Her mom smiled and said she loved her too. They went home and enjoyed a nice cake that they baked together.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to eat waffles for breakfast. But they are very competitive. They always want to have more waffles than the other.
+
+One morning, Mom makes four waffles. She puts them on a big plate. She says, "Ben and Mia, you can each have two waffles. Share nicely, okay?"
+
+Ben and Mia nod. But they have a plan. They want to trick each other and get more waffles.
+
+Ben says, "Mia, I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes and open your mouth." Mia thinks Ben is going to give her a bite of his waffle. She closes her eyes and opens her mouth.
+
+But Ben does not give her a bite. He quickly takes one of her waffles and puts it on his plate. He says, "Ha ha, I have three waffles now. You only have one."
+
+Mia opens her eyes and sees what Ben did. She is very angry. She says, "Ben, that is not fair. You are a mean brother. Give me back my waffle."
+
+Ben says, "No, I will not. I am smarter than you. I win."
+
+Mia says, "No, you do not. I will get you back. Watch out."
+
+She looks at Mom. Mom is busy making coffee. She does not see what Ben and Mia are doing.
+
+Mia says, "Ben, I have a surprise for you too. Close your eyes and open your mouth." Ben thinks Mia is going to give him a bite of her waffle. He closes his eyes and opens his mouth.
+
+But Mia does not give him a bite. She quickly takes two of his waffles and puts them on her plate. She says, "Ha ha, I have three waffles now. You only have one."
+
+Ben opens his eyes and sees what Mia did. He is very angry. He says, "Mia, that is not fair. You are a mean sister. Give me back my waffles."
+
+Mia says, "No, I will not. I am smarter than you. I win."
+
+Ben and Mia start to fight. They pull and push each other. They yell and cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the table. She sees the mess. She sees the waffles. She sees Ben and Mia.
+
+She is very upset. She says, "Ben and Mia, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you not sharing? You are both naughty. You have to go to your rooms. No more waffles for you."
+
+Ben and Mia stop fighting. They look at Mom. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Mia."
+
+Mom says, "It is too late. You have to learn your lesson. Go to your rooms now. And think about what you did."
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They go to their rooms. They are sad. They are hungry. They wish they had shared their waffles. They wish they had not been so competitive.
+Sam and Jen are friends. They like to play in the lab. The lab is a big room with many things. Some things are shiny, some things are colorful, some things make sounds.
+
+One day, Sam and Jen find a big pot in the lab. The pot has a spoon and a lid. Sam and Jen are curious. They want to see what is in the pot.
+
+"Let's open the lid and stir the pot," Sam says.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Jen says.
+
+They open the lid and see a green soup. The soup smells funny. Sam and Jen hold their noses.
+
+"Yuck, what is this?" Jen asks.
+
+"I don't know, let's stir it and find out," Sam says.
+
+They take turns to stir the pot with the spoon. The soup bubbles and hisses. It changes colors. It becomes red, then blue, then yellow.
+
+"Wow, this is fun," Sam says.
+
+"Look, it's making shapes," Jen says.
+
+The soup forms stars, hearts, and circles. Sam and Jen clap their hands. They are happy.
+
+But then, something goes wrong. The soup starts to grow. It fills the pot. It spills over the edge. It flows on the floor. It reaches the door.
+
+"Uh-oh, this is bad," Sam says.
+
+"Run, run, run," Jen says.
+
+They drop the spoon and the lid. They run out of the lab. They slam the door behind them. They hope the soup will stop.
+
+They are scared. They are sorry. They made a big mess.
+
+They look for a grown-up. They need help. They need to clean the lab.
+
+They hope the grown-up will be fit. They hope the grown-up will not be mad. They hope the grown-up will still be their friend.
+Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and read books together. One day, they found a big book with many words in it. They wanted to learn the words and read the stories.
+
+They opened the book and saw a picture of a sun. The sun was bright and yellow. It had a smile on its face. The book said: "The sun is a star. It shines in the sky. It gives us light and warmth."
+
+"Wow, the sun is a mighty star!" Tim said. "I want to be like the sun. I want to shine and make people happy."
+
+"I want to be like the sun too," Lily said. "But how can we shine like the sun?"
+
+They thought for a while. Then they had an idea. They ran to their room and got some yellow paper and scissors. They cut out big circles and stuck them on their shirts. They also made some rays and taped them on their arms and legs. They looked like little suns.
+
+They ran outside and showed their costumes to their friends. They said: "Look, we are suns! We shine like the sun!"
+
+Their friends laughed and clapped. They said: "You are so funny and cute! You do shine like the sun!"
+
+But one boy, Max, did not like their costumes. He was jealous and mean. He said: "You are not suns! You are silly and dumb! You have paper on your clothes! That is not shining!"
+
+He grabbed Tim's paper circle and tore it off. He threw it on the ground. He said: "See? This is not a sun. This is trash!"
+
+Tim felt sad and angry. He said: "Hey, stop that! That is not nice! You are a bully!"
+
+Lily saw what Max did. She ran to Tim and hugged him. She said: "Don't listen to him, Tim. You are a sun. You are a mighty star. You shine with your kindness and friendship."
+
+She picked up the paper circle and put it back on Tim's shirt. She said: "There, you are a sun again. And I am a sun too. We are suns together. We shine brighter than Max."
+
+Tim smiled and hugged Lily back. He said: "Thank you, Lily. You are a sun too. You are a mighty star. You shine with your courage and love."
+
+They held hands and walked away from Max. They joined their friends and played happily. They shone like the sun.
+Anna likes to look at small things with her microscope. She has a book with pictures of bugs and plants that she can see with her microscope. She wants to show her friend Ben what she can see.
+
+"Ben, come to my room. I have something to show you," Anna says.
+
+Ben runs to Anna's room. He sees the microscope on the table. He is curious.
+
+"What is that?" Ben asks.
+
+"It is a microscope. It makes small things look big. Do you want to try?" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, please. How do I use it?" Ben says.
+
+Anna helps Ben to put his eye on the eyepiece. She slides a slide with a leaf under the microscope. She turns a knob to make the leaf clearer.
+
+"Wow, I can see the veins of the leaf. They look like roads. And there are tiny hairs on the edge. They look like brushes. This is amazing," Ben says.
+
+Anna smiles. She is happy that Ben likes her microscope. She has another slide with a bug. She wants to show Ben the bug.
+
+"Ben, look at this. It is a bug. It has six legs and two wings. It is very pretty," Anna says.
+
+She switches the slides. But something is wrong. The bug is not moving. It is not alive.
+
+"Oh no, the bug is dead. It is not flying. It is not crawling. It is not doing anything. I am sorry, Anna. I did not mean to hurt the bug," Ben says.
+
+He feels sad. He likes bugs. He does not want them to die.
+
+Anna feels sad too. She likes bugs too. She does not want them to die either. She remembers what her mom told her when her fish died.
+
+"Ben, it is not your fault. Sometimes bugs die. Sometimes fish die. Sometimes people die. It is part of life. But we can pray for them. We can say thank you for their life. We can say we hope they are happy in heaven. Do you want to pray with me?" Anna says.
+
+Ben nods. He wants to pray with Anna. He thinks praying is a good thing to do.
+
+Anna and Ben hold hands. They close their eyes. They say a prayer for the bug. They say thank you for the bug. They say they hope the bug is happy in heaven. They say amen.
+
+They open their eyes. They feel better. They hug each other.
+
+"Anna, you are a good friend. Thank you for showing me your microscope. Thank you for praying with me. I am ready to see more slides. Are you ready?" Ben says.
+
+Anna nods. She is ready. She is a good friend too.
+
+"Ben, you are a good friend too. You are welcome. I am ready to see more slides too. Let's look at more small things. They are wonderful," Anna says.
+
+They smile. They look at more slides. They see more small things. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were going to visit their grandma, who lived far away. They had to pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. Tom was happy, but Lily was miserable. She did not want to leave her home and her friends.
+
+"Why do we have to go, Mom?" Lily asked, holding her teddy bear. "I don't like grandma's house. It's old and boring."
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "We have to go, sweetie, because grandma is lonely and sick. She needs us to cheer her up and help her. Don't you love grandma?"
+
+Lily nodded, but she still felt sad. She put her teddy bear in her bag and followed Mom and Tom to the car. She looked out of the window and saw her house, her garden and her hedge. She liked to play hide and seek behind the hedge with Tom and her friends. She wondered if they would miss her.
+
+The car drove away and Lily waved goodbye to her hedge. She hoped it would still be there when she came back. She hoped grandma would get better soon. She hoped she would have some fun at grandma's house. She hoped she would not be miserable for too long.
+Ben and Lily liked to paint. They had many colors and brushes. They painted on paper, on walls, on rocks, and on boxes. They made pictures of animals, flowers, cars, and stars.
+
+One day, they found a big switch on the wall. It was red and shiny. They wondered what it did. They wanted to paint it.
+
+"Can we paint the switch?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is not for painting. Maybe it does something." Lily said.
+
+"Let's try. It will be fun." Ben said. He took a blue brush and dipped it in yellow paint. He reached for the switch.
+
+"No, Ben, wait!" Lily shouted. But it was too late. Ben touched the switch with his brush.
+
+Suddenly, the lights went off. The room became dark. Ben and Lily could not see anything. They heard a loud noise. It was the alarm.
+
+"Uh-oh. What did we do?" Ben said.
+
+"I think we broke the switch. We have to fix it." Lily said.
+
+They dropped their brushes and ran to the switch. They tried to turn it back on. But it was stuck. It was covered in yellow paint.
+
+They heard footsteps. It was Mom. She came into the room. She saw the switch, the paint, and the children.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked. She was not happy.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We wanted to paint the switch. But it was not for painting. It was for the lights. And the alarm. We made a mistake." Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed. She turned on a flashlight. She saw the mess. She saw the children's faces. They were scared and sad.
+
+"It's okay. I know you didn't mean to. But you have to be careful. Some things are not for painting. Some things are important. You have to ask before you touch them." Mom said.
+
+She hugged Ben and Lily. She helped them clean up. She called Dad. He came home and fixed the switch. He turned off the alarm. He turned on the lights.
+
+The room was clear again. Ben and Lily were glad. They learned a lesson. They never painted the switch again. They painted other things. They had fun. They were careful.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys in their bedroom, but they did not like to put them away. Their bedroom was very messy, with toys all over the floor, the bed, and the shelves.
+
+One day, their mom told them to clean their bedroom before dinner. She said, "Lily and Ben, your bedroom is too messy. You need to put your toys away and make your bed. If you do not, you will not get dessert."
+
+Lily and Ben did not listen to their mom. They said, "We do not want to clean. We want to play. Cleaning is boring." They ignored their mom and continued to play with their toys. They pretended to sail on a big boat with their stuffed animals and dolls.
+
+But while they were playing, they did not see that their mom had left the door open. A gust of wind came in and blew their toys around. Some of their toys flew out of the window, some fell under the bed, and some got tangled in the curtains. Lily and Ben were shocked and sad. They cried, "Oh no, our toys! Where are they? We want them back!"
+
+Their mom heard their cries and came to their bedroom. She saw the mess and said, "Lily and Ben, this is what happens when you do not clean your bedroom. You lose your toys and make more work for yourself. Now you have to find your toys and put them away. And you will not get dessert, because you did not listen to me."
+
+Lily and Ben realized that their mom was right. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were wrong. We should have cleaned our bedroom. We will do it now and be more careful with our toys." They started to look for their toys and put them away. They also made their bed and straightened the curtains. They learned their lesson and decided to keep their bedroom tidy from then on.
+Ben and Mia were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. But sometimes they wanted the same block and they got upset.
+
+"Give me that block!" Ben said. He tried to grab a red block from Mia's hand.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Mia said. She held the block tight and pushed Ben away.
+
+Ben fell on the floor and hit his toe on the table. He cried out loud. His toe hurt a lot. He was very upset.
+
+Mia saw Ben crying and felt sorry. She did not want to hurt him. She wanted to be his friend. She put the block down and went to Ben.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" Mia said. She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+Ben stopped crying and looked at Mia. He saw that she was sorry. He smiled and hugged her back.
+
+"It's okay, Mia. Thank you for being nice," Ben said. He showed her his toe. "Look, it's not bleeding. It's just a little red."
+
+Mia looked at his toe and nodded. She was glad that he was not badly hurt. She had an idea.
+
+"Do you want to sign a song with me?" Mia said. She liked to sign songs with her hands and fingers. She learned them from her mom, who was deaf.
+
+Ben nodded. He liked to sign songs too. He learned them from Mia, who was his best friend.
+
+"Okay, let's sign a song. Which one do you want to sign?" Ben said.
+
+Mia thought for a moment. She picked a song that they both knew and liked.
+
+"How about 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'?" Mia said.
+
+Ben agreed. He liked that song. It made him happy.
+

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but they always wanted more. One day, their mom told them that a big truck would deliver a new toy for them. She said it was a surprise and they had to wait until the truck came.
+
+Tom and Lily were very excited. They ran to the window and looked for the truck. They saw many cars and bikes and people, but no truck. They started to feel bored. They said to each other, "Where is the truck? Where is our toy?"
+
+Then they heard a loud honk. They looked again and saw a big truck with a picture of a giraffe on it. They shouted, "The truck is here! The truck is here!" They ran to the door and waited for their mom to open it.
+
+The truck driver came out of the truck and smiled. He said, "Hello, Tom and Lily. I have a special delivery for you. Do you like giraffes?" Tom and Lily nodded. They loved giraffes. They had a book about giraffes and a stuffed giraffe. They wondered what the truck driver had for them.
+
+The truck driver opened the back of the truck and took out a big box. He carried it to the door and gave it to their mom. He said, "Be careful, it's heavy. And don't open it until I'm gone. It's a surprise." He winked and got back in the truck. He honked again and drove away.
+
+Tom and Lily were very curious. They wanted to open the box right away. They asked their mom, "Can we open it now? Can we open it now?" Their mom said, "Okay, but be gentle. It's a fragile toy. And don't forget to say thank you."
+
+Tom and Lily tore off the paper and opened the box. They gasped. Inside the box was a real baby giraffe. It was small and cute and had a long neck. It looked at them with big eyes and made a soft noise. Tom and Lily were amazed. They had never seen a real giraffe before. They said, "Wow! Thank you, mom! Thank you, truck driver! This is the best toy ever!"
+
+They hugged the baby giraffe and petted its fur. They gave it a name and a collar. They played with it and fed it and took it for walks. They loved their new toy and never felt bored again.

+
+"Can we keep the pig, Mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"Where did you find it?" Mom asks.
+
+"In the park, on the bench," Ben says.
+
+Mom looks at the pig. It is dirty and has ink on it. Someone drew on the pig with ink.
+
+"Maybe the pig belongs to someone else," Mom says. "Maybe they are looking for it. We should not keep it."
+
+"But we like the pig," Sara says. "It is soft and cute. We can clean it and draw on it with ink."
+
+Mom shakes her head. "No, we cannot keep it. It is not ours. We should take it back to the park and leave it there. Maybe the owner will come back and find it."
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They do not want to give up the pig. They hug the pig and say goodbye.
+
+They go back to the park with Mom. They put the pig on the bench where they found it. They hope the owner will be happy to see it.
+
+They go home and draw more pictures with ink. They draw a pig with a curly tail. They write "We love you, pig" on the paper. They hang the paper on the wall. They smile and think of the pig. They hope the pig is happy too.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. Every night, she would close her eyes and see wonderful things. She would dream of flying with birds, swimming with fish, and playing with fairies. She would smile and laugh in her sleep.
+
+One night, she had a different dream. She dreamed of a big, scary dog that chased her. The dog had sharp teeth and loud barks. Lily was afraid and ran away. But the dog was faster and caught her. The dog bit her neck and made it wet with blood. Lily screamed and woke up.
+
+She opened her eyes and saw her mom. Her mom was holding her and saying, "It's okay, Lily, it's just a dream. You're safe, you're safe." Lily felt her mom's warm hug and her soft kiss. She felt her neck and it was not wet. It was just a dream. She was safe.
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. Thank you for saving me from the dog." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You're brave and strong. And there's no dog here, only your teddy bear." She pointed to Lily's teddy bear, who was lying on the bed. Lily looked at her teddy bear and smiled. She said, "I love you, teddy. You're my friend." She cuddled her teddy bear and closed her eyes. She hoped to have a nice dream.

+
+"Hi, I'm Ben," he said. "I'm drawing a car. I like cars. They are fast and cool."
+
+"I like cars too," Anna said. "But I like purple more. Purple is a pretty color. Do you want to see my drawings?"
+
+"Sure," Ben said. He looked at Anna's backpack. He saw many papers with purple drawings on them. He saw purple flowers, purple stars, purple cats and purple anything.
+
+"Wow, you have a lot of drawings," he said. "They are nice. But why do you only use purple?"
+
+"Because purple is my favorite color," Anna said. "It makes me happy. Don't you have a favorite color?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He looked at his blue crayon. He liked blue, but he also liked other colors. He liked red, yellow, green and orange. He liked to use different colors for different things.
+
+"I like blue, but I also like other colors," he said. "I like to use different colors for different things. Like blue for the sky, green for the grass, yellow for the sun and so on."
+
+Anna looked at Ben's drawing. She saw a blue car on a white paper. She thought it was boring. She thought it needed more colors.
+
+"Can I give you a recommendation?" she asked.
+
+"What's a recommendation?" Ben asked.
+
+"A recommendation is when you tell someone what you think they should do," Anna explained. "I think you should use more colors for your drawing. It will make it more fun and beautiful. Like this."
+
+She took her purple crayon and drew some purple flowers on the paper. Then she took her red crayon and drew some red hearts. Then she took her green crayon and drew some green leaves. She added more colors and shapes until the paper was full of them.
+
+"See?" she said. "Now your car has a garden. Isn't it better?"
+
+Ben looked at his drawing. He saw his blue car surrounded by purple flowers, red hearts, green leaves and other colors and shapes. He felt surprised. He felt angry. He felt sad. He liked his car. He didn't want a garden. He wanted a car.
+
+He snatched the paper from Anna. He crumpled it in his hand. He threw it on the floor.
+
+"No!" he shouted. "You ruined my drawing! I don't want your recommendation! I don't want your purple! I don't like you!"
+
+Anna felt shocked. She felt hurt. She felt sorry. She liked her drawings. She wanted to share them. She wanted to help. She wanted a friend.
+
+She picked up the paper from the floor. She smoothed it in her hand. She looked at it. She saw her purple flowers, her red hearts, her green leaves and other colors and shapes. She saw Ben's blue car. She saw a mess.
+
+She started to cry. She put the paper in her backpack. She turned away from Ben. She didn't say anything.
+
+The bus stopped at the school. Anna and Ben got off the bus. They walked to their classroom. They didn't look at each other. They didn't talk to each other. They didn't sit next to each other.
+
+They had a bad day.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box and some paper. They wanted to make a castle and a sword.
+
+Lily cut the box with scissors. She made a door and a window. She said, "This is our castle. We are the king and the queen."
+
+Ben tore the paper with his hands. He made a long and sharp sword. He said, "This is my sword. I am the knight. I will protect the castle."
+
+They put the castle and the sword on the grass. They pretended to have a feast and a battle. They had fun.
+
+But then, a clumsy dog came. He saw the sword and the castle. He thought they were toys. He ran to them and grabbed the sword with his mouth. He shook it and ripped it. He said, "Woof, woof, this is fun."
+
+Lily and Ben saw the dog. They were sad and angry. They shouted, "No, no, bad dog. That is our sword. You broke it. Go away."
+
+The dog dropped the sword and ran away. He was scared and sorry. He said, "Woof, woof, I am sorry. I did not know."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at their sword. It was torn and ruined. They cried. They said, "Our sword is gone. We can't play anymore."
+
+But then, they had an idea. They took some tape and some more paper. They fixed the sword and made it stronger. They said, "We can make a new sword. We can play again."
+
+They smiled and hugged. They said, "We are happy. We are friends. We have a castle and a sword."
+Anna and Ben were playing with their dolls. Anna had a doll with a pink dress and long hair. Ben had a doll with a blue shirt and a hat. They liked to pretend that their dolls were friends and went on adventures.
+
+One day, they decided to play in the garden. They took their dolls and a blanket and found a nice spot under a tree. They spread the blanket on the grass and put their dolls on it. They pretended that the tree was a castle and the grass was a forest.
+
+They were having fun, until Anna saw a hole in her doll's dress. She was sad and angry. She said to Ben, "Look, my doll has a hole in her dress! Someone made it with scissors! Who did it?"
+
+Ben looked at the hole and felt sorry for Anna. He said, "I don't know who did it, but maybe we can fix it. Do you have a needle and a thread?"
+
+Anna nodded. She ran to the house and came back with a needle and a thread. She gave them to Ben and said, "Can you help me?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, I can. I learned how to make a stitch from my mom. She said it is good to know how to sew. Watch me."
+
+Ben took the needle and the thread and made a small knot at the end. He put the needle through the hole and pulled the thread. He did it again and again, until he closed the hole with a line of stitches. He cut the thread and made another knot.
+
+He gave the doll back to Anna and said, "There, I fixed it. Now your doll has a new dress. It is pink and blue, like a flower."
+
+Anna looked at her doll and smiled. She hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You made my doll happy and me too. I like the new dress. It is pretty and special."
+
+Ben smiled too. He said, "You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you like it. I like your doll too. She is nice and brave. Can we play some more?"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, let's play some more. But first, let's have a snack. I have some cookies and juice. Do you want some?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, please. I'm hungry and thirsty. What kind of cookies do you have?"
+
+Anna said, "I have chocolate cookies and lemon cookies. Which one do you want?"
+
+Ben said, "I want a chocolate cookie. I don't like lemon cookies. They are bitter and sour."
+
+Anna said, "I like lemon cookies. They are sweet and fresh. But you can have a chocolate cookie. I'll have a lemon cookie. And we can share the juice."
+
+Ben said, "OK, that sounds good. Let's eat and drink. And then we can play some more with our dolls."
+
+They ate and drank and played some more. They had a lot of fun. They were happy and grateful. They were good friends.
+Lily was restless. She wanted to go to Ben's birthday party. She had an invitation with a picture of a cake and balloons. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She asked her mom, "Can we go now?"
+
+"Not yet, Lily. The party starts at two o'clock. We have to wait a little bit more," her mom said.
+
+Lily sighed. She looked at the clock. It was only one o'clock. She wondered what Ben had for his present. She wanted to see it. She had a present for him too. It was a book with funny animals. She hoped he would like it.
+
+She went to her room. She saw her present on her bed. She had wrapped it with colorful paper and a bow. She felt curious. She wanted to peek inside the book. She thought, maybe just a little peek. She lifted the corner of the paper. She saw a picture of a monkey. She smiled. She lifted the paper more. She saw a picture of a lion. She giggled. She lifted the paper more. She saw a picture of a snake. She gasped.
+
+Suddenly, she heard her mom's voice. "Lily, what are you doing? Are you peeking at your present?"
+
+Lily felt scared. She dropped the paper. She said, "No, mom, I was just...just..."
+
+Her mom came into the room. She saw the paper torn and the book exposed. She frowned. She said, "Lily, you know you shouldn't peek at your present. That's not nice. You should keep it a surprise for Ben. How would you feel if he peeked at your present?"
+
+Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was just bored. I won't peek again. I promise."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you're excited. But you have to be patient. Come on, let's fix the paper and get ready to go. The party will start soon. And I'm sure Ben will love your present."
+
+Lily nodded. She helped her mom wrap the book again. She put on her coat and her hat. She grabbed her present. She said, "Thank you, mom. I'm sorry I peeked. I love you."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's go have some fun at the party."
+Jill liked to play with her dolls in her room. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and shiny shoes. Jill would brush Lily's hair, dress her up, and talk to her.
+
+One day, Jill's mom said, "Jill, we have to go to the store. Put your toys away and get ready." Jill did not want to go to the store. She wanted to play with Lily. She said, "No, mom. I want to stay here with Lily."
+
+Jill's mom said, "Jill, you have to listen to me. We need to buy some food and some things for the house. You can play with Lily when we come back. Now hurry up and put her in the cabinet."
+
+Jill did not understand why she had to put Lily in the cabinet. She thought the cabinet was dull and dark. She did not want Lily to be sad and lonely. She said, "No, mom. Lily does not like the cabinet. She likes to be with me. Please let me take her to the store."
+
+Jill's mom said, "Jill, you can't take Lily to the store. She might get dirty or lost. The cabinet is safe and cozy. She will be fine there. Trust me, Jill. I know what is best for you and Lily. Now please do as I say."
+
+Jill was angry and sad. She did not want to leave Lily. She did not want to go to the store. She did not want to listen to her mom. She said, "No, mom. You are mean. You don't care about me and Lily. You don't understand."
+
+Jill's mom sighed. She was tired and frustrated. She did not want to fight with Jill. She wanted to help her. She said, "Jill, I love you and Lily. I do care about you. I do understand. But sometimes you have to do things you don't like. That's part of growing up. Come on, Jill. Let's go to the store. It won't take long. And when we come back, you can play with Lily as much as you want."
+
+Jill looked at her mom. She looked at Lily. She did not know what to do. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She hugged Lily and whispered, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'll be back soon. I love you."
+
+She put Lily in the cabinet and closed the door. She took her mom's hand and walked to the car. She hoped Lily would be okay. She hoped her mom was right. She hoped she would understand.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Max. Max is a lively dog. He likes to run and jump and bark.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It looks like a rainbow. They want to touch it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a balloon!" Lila says.
+
+"Wow, Lila, it is so pretty!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the balloon. But the balloon is too high. They cannot reach it.
+
+"Maybe we can rise up to the balloon," Lila says.
+
+"How?" Ben asks.
+
+Lila sees a big basket near the balloon. It has ropes and a fire. She has an idea.
+
+"Let's go in the basket. The fire will make us rise," she says.
+
+"OK, Lila, let's try," Ben says.
+
+They climb in the basket with Max. They pull a rope. The fire gets bigger. The balloon rises up in the air.
+
+"Yay, we are rising!" Lila says.
+
+"We are flying!" Ben says.
+
+Max barks.
+
+They are happy. They feel like they can escape from everything.
+
+But then they hear a voice.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing? That's my balloon!" the voice says.
+
+They look down. They see a man. He is angry. He is the owner of the balloon.
+
+"Uh-oh, Lila, we are in trouble," Ben says.
+
+"Quick, Ben, let's go down," Lila says.
+
+They pull another rope. The fire gets smaller. The balloon goes down.
+
+They land near the man. He is still angry.
+
+"Kids, you can't just take my balloon. That's very naughty. You could have hurt yourselves or others. You are lucky I saw you," he says.
+
+He takes them out of the basket. He scolds them.
+
+Lila and Ben are sorry. They say sorry to the man. They say sorry to their mom and dad. They say sorry to Max.
+
+They learn their lesson. They never try to rise up to a balloon again. They play in the park with their dog, Max. Max is a lively dog. He likes to run and jump and bark.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But today, their mom has to work. She is a nurse. She helps sick people.
+
+"Mom, can we go with you?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, my loves. You have to stay home. It is not safe for you at the hospital. There are many germs there. You can play with your toys and watch cartoons. I will be back soon." Mom says.
+
+She gives them a hug and a kiss. She tells them to be brave and good.
+
+Anna and Ben wave goodbye to mom. They are sad. They miss her.
+
+They try to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But they are bored. They want to see mom.
+
+They have an idea. They put on their coats and hats. They sneak out of the house. They want to go to the hospital. They want to surprise mom.
+
+They walk and walk. They cross the street. They do not look for cars. They do not hold hands.
+
+A big car comes fast. It honks loud. It almost hits them.
+
+They are scared. They cry.
+
+A man sees them. He is a policeman. He stops the car. He helps them.
+
+"Are you okay, kids? Where are you going?" He asks.
+
+"We want to see mom. She works at the hospital. She is a nurse. She helps sick people." Anna says.
+
+"That is very nice of your mom. But you should not go alone. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. You should stay home. You should listen to your mom. She loves you. She wants you to be safe." He says.
+
+He takes them back home. He calls their mom. He tells her what happened.
+
+Mom is worried. She is angry. She is also relieved.
+
+She comes home. She hugs them. She scolds them. She also thanks them.
+
+"I am sorry, mom. We wanted to see you. We wanted to make you happy." Ben says.
+
+"I know, my loves. But you made me scared. You did not make me happy. You have to stay home when I work. You have to be brave and good. You have to trust me. I will always come back to you." Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say sorry. They promise to be brave and good. They promise to stay home.
+
+Mom smiles. She kisses them. She tells them she loves them.
+
+They love her too.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn to listen to mom. They learn to stay home. They learn to be brave and good. They learn to be safe.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. One day, they find a big fork in the grass. It is shiny and has four points.
+
+"Look, Sam, a fork!" Tim says. He picks it up and runs to Sam.
+
+"Wow, a fork!" Sam says. He wants to touch it, but Tim does not let him.
+
+"It is my fork, Sam. Go find your own fork!" Tim says. He holds the fork high and makes a mean face.
+
+Sam feels sad and angry. He does not like it when Tim is mean. He thinks of a way to make Tim share the fork.
+
+"I know, I will scare Tim!" Sam says to himself. He hides behind a bush and waits for Tim to come near.
+
+Tim walks around the yard with the fork. He pretends it is a sword and he is a knight. He does not see Sam behind the bush.
+
+"Boo!" Sam shouts. He jumps out of the bush and makes a loud noise.
+
+Tim is very scared. He drops the fork and screams. He runs away from Sam and the bush.
+
+Sam laughs and picks up the fork. He feels happy and proud. He scared Tim and got the fork.
+
+"Ha ha, I scared you, Tim! Now the fork is mine!" Sam says.
+
+Tim stops running and turns around. He sees Sam with the fork. He feels sorry and ashamed. He was mean and selfish. He wants to say sorry and share the fork.
+
+"Sam, I am sorry. I was mean and selfish. Can we share the fork?" Tim says.
+
+Sam smiles and nods. He feels sorry and kind. He was loud and rough. He wants to say sorry and play with Tim.
+
+"Tim, I am sorry. I was loud and rough. Can we play with the fork?" Sam says.
+
+Tim and Sam hug and make up. They share the fork and play together. They pretend it is a sword, a shovel, a comb, and a spoon. They have fun and are happy. They are good brothers.
+Lily liked to do yoga with her mom. Yoga was when they did funny poses on a mat and breathed slowly. Lily felt calm and happy when she did yoga.
+
+One day, they went to a big park to do yoga with other people. There were many mats and many people. Lily saw a big dog running around. She liked dogs, but this dog was very loud and fast. It barked and jumped on the mats and the people.
+
+Lily felt scared. She ran to her mom and hugged her. "Mom, mom, the dog is scary!" she cried.
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Lily. The dog is just playing. He won't hurt you. Let's move to another spot where it's quieter."
+
+They picked up their mat and walked to a shady tree. There were no dogs there, only birds and flowers. Lily felt better. She smiled and said, "Can we do yoga now, mom?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Let's do the tree pose. You are my little tree, Lily."
+
+They put their mat down and stood on one leg. They raised their arms and balanced. They breathed slowly and felt calm. Lily forgot about the dog and enjoyed the yoga. She was happy with her mom.
+Jill and Ben were twins who liked to play tricks on their mom. One day, they found a book of spells in the attic. They wanted to try one of the spells, but they did not know what they meant. They saw a spell that said "turn sour". They thought it would be funny to make their mom's lemonade sour.
+
+They whispered the spell over the pitcher of lemonade, and then ran downstairs. They waited for their mom to come home and drink the lemonade. They thought she would make a funny face and they would laugh.
+
+But when their mom came home, she did not drink the lemonade. She gave it to their grandma, who was visiting. Grandma took a big sip and made a sour face. She said, "Oh, this lemonade is very sour! It hurts my teeth and my tummy!"
+
+Jill and Ben felt bad. They did not want to hurt their grandma. They ran to their mom and told her what they did. They said they were sorry and they did not mean to be mean. They asked if they could make a new lemonade for grandma.
+
+Their mom was not happy. She said, "You should not play with spells. They are not toys. They can be dangerous and hurt people. You should be kind and respectful to your elders. And you should not lie to me. You need to learn your lesson."
+
+She made them drink the sour lemonade as a punishment. They did not like it. It was very sour and it hurt their teeth and their tummy. They learned their lesson. They never played with spells again. They were nice to their mom and their grandma. And they always told the truth.
+Sara and Lily were sisters who liked to help their mom. Every Sunday, they helped mom make breakfast for the family. Sara liked to cut the fruit and Lily liked to stir the eggs. They wanted to serve the best breakfast ever.
+
+One Sunday, Sara saw a pretty dress in mom's closet. She wanted to wear it for breakfast. She took the dress and put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She felt like a princess.
+
+Lily saw Sara in the dress and felt angry. She wanted to wear the dress too. She said to Sara, "That's not your dress. That's mom's dress. You have to take it off. It's not fair."
+
+Sara said to Lily, "No, I don't. I saw it first. It's mine now. You can't have it. Go away."
+
+Lily and Sara started to fight. They pulled and pushed each other. They made a lot of noise. They forgot about the breakfast.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara and Lily in her dress. The dress was torn and dirty. She saw the fruit and the eggs on the floor. She was very sad and angry. She said to Sara and Lily, "What have you done? You ruined my dress and the breakfast. You were supposed to help me, not fight. You were selfish and mean. You have to say sorry and clean up this mess."
+
+Sara and Lily felt ashamed. They realized they had made a big mistake. They said sorry to mom and to each other. They hugged and cried. They helped mom clean up the mess and make a new breakfast. They learned to share and be kind. They never fought over a dress again.
+Sara was a naughty girl. She did not listen to her mom and dad. She played with her toys when she should do her homework. She ate candy when she should eat her vegetables. She ran away when she should take a bath.
+
+One day, mom and dad had enough. They said to Sara, "You are a very naughty girl. You make us sad and angry. You need to learn to be good. We will punish you. You will go to bed early and you will not watch TV or read books. You will stay in your bed until morning."
+
+Sara did not like that. She cried and begged. She said, "Please, mom and dad, do not punish me. I am sorry. I will be good. I will do my homework and eat my vegetables and take a bath. Please, let me watch TV and read books. Please, let me stay up late."
+
+But mom and dad did not change their mind. They said, "No, Sara, you have to go to bed now. You have to learn your lesson. Maybe tomorrow you will be good. Now, say good night and go to your room."
+
+Sara said good night and went to her room. She was very sad and angry. She did not want to go to bed. She wanted to watch TV and read books. She looked at her bed. It was old and hard and cold. She did not like her bed. She wished she had a new and soft and warm bed. She thought, "This is not fair. Mom and dad are mean. They do not love me. I hate them. I hate my bed. I hate everything." She cried and cried until she fell asleep.
+Ben and Mia like to play sport. They like to run, jump, kick and throw. They play sport every day with their friends at the park. But today, it is raining. They cannot go to the park. They have to stay at home.
+
+Ben and Mia are restless. They do not like to sit and watch TV. They do not like to read books. They do not like to draw pictures. They want to play sport. They look out of the window and see the rain.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the park?" Ben asks.
+
+"No, Ben, it is raining. You will get wet and cold. You have to stay at home," Mom says.
+
+"But we want to play sport. We are bored," Mia says.
+
+"I know, Mia, but you have to wait until the rain stops. Why don't you play with your toys? Or play a game with Ben?" Mom says.
+
+Ben and Mia sigh. They do not want to play with their toys. They do not want to play a game. They want to play sport. They look at each other and have an idea.
+
+They go to their room and find their ball. They move their bed and their chair. They make a goal with their pillows. They start to play sport in their room. They kick the ball and try to score. They laugh and shout.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She sees the mess and the ball. She is not happy.
+
+"Ben and Mia, what are you doing? You cannot play sport in your room. You will break something. You will make a hole in the wall. You will hurt yourself. Stop it right now!" Mom says.
+
+Ben and Mia stop. They look at Mom. They look at the ball. They look at the mess. They are sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We just wanted to play sport. We are restless," Ben says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We did not mean to make a mess. We are restless," Mia says.
+
+Mom sighs. She understands. She remembers when she was a child and liked to play sport. She smiles.
+
+"I know, Ben and Mia. I know you are restless. But you have to be careful. You have to respect the house. You have to listen to me. Why don't we play sport together? But not in your room. In the living room. We can play catch. We can play tag. We can have fun. But we have to be gentle. And we have to clean up after. OK?" Mom says.
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They are happy. They like Mom's idea. They hug Mom. They say thank you. They take the ball and go to the living room. They play sport with Mom. They have fun. They are not restless anymore. They are happy.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many cars, trains, and blocks to build with. But they did not like to share. They always fought over who got the best toy or the most toys.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She said they could each pick one toy to bring, but they had to leave the rest at home. Tom and Sam ran to their room and grabbed the biggest and brightest toys they could find. They did not care if they were the same or different. They just wanted to have the best.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the store. On the way, they saw a big truck with a sign that said "Chicken". The truck was very slow and made a lot of noise. It delayed them for a long time. Tom and Sam got bored and started to look at each other's toys. They both thought the other had a better toy. They started to argue and snatch and pull. Their mom told them to stop, but they did not listen.
+
+At the store, their mom said they had to wait in the car while she bought some things. She said she would be back soon and they had to be good. She locked the doors and left. Tom and Sam continued to fight over their toys. They did not notice that it was getting hot and stuffy in the car. They did not notice that they were thirsty and hungry. They did not notice that their mom was taking a long time.
+
+After a while, they heard a loud knock on the window. It was a policeman. He had seen them in the car and came to check on them. He opened the door and asked them if they were okay. They said they were fine, but they looked red and sweaty. The policeman said they were not fine. He said they were lucky he found them. He said it was very dangerous to stay in a hot car. He said they could have gotten sick or worse. He said they should have been more careful and listened to their mom.
+
+Tom and Sam felt ashamed and scared. They realized they had been very silly and selfish. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. They said they did not care about their toys anymore. They said they just wanted their mom to come back. They said they would share and be nice from now on.
+
+The policeman smiled and said he was glad they learned their lesson. He said he would stay with them until their mom came back. He said he hoped they would remember to be good and safe. He said he had a surprise for them. He opened his trunk and took out a big box. He said it was a gift from the chicken truck driver. He said the driver felt bad for delaying them and wanted to make them happy. He opened the box and showed them what was inside. It was a big, fluffy, yellow chicken. Tom and Sam gasped and laughed. They said they loved the chicken. They said they would name it Cluck. They said they would take good care of it and play with it together. They thanked the policeman and the driver. They said they were very happy.
+
+Their mom came back and saw them with the chicken. She was surprised and confused. The policeman explained what had happened and how the chicken was a gift. She was relieved and grateful. She hugged Tom and Sam and said she was proud of them. She said they had been very brave and smart. She said they had learned a valuable lesson. She said they should always be kind and respectful to each other and to others. She said they should always be careful and listen to her. She said they should always be happy and thankful for what they have. She said they were very lucky to have a chicken. She said they could keep it as a pet if they wanted. Tom and Sam nodded and smiled. They said they wanted to keep Cluck. They said they loved their mom. They said they were very lucky indeed.
+Tim and Mia were friends who liked to look at the stars at night. They had a big book with pictures of stars and planets. They wanted to learn their names and shapes. Sometimes they used a small telescope that Tim's dad gave them.
+
+One night, they went to the park with the telescope and the book. They found a good spot to set up the telescope and look at the sky. They saw many bright stars and some planets. They admired them and tried to find them in the book.
+
+"Look, Mia, that's Jupiter!" Tim said, pointing at a big yellow star. "It has four moons and a big red spot."
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Mia said. "Can I see it in the telescope?"
+
+"Sure, here you go." Tim said, letting Mia look through the telescope. "But be careful, don't touch anything."
+
+Mia looked through the telescope and saw Jupiter and its moons. She was amazed by the sight. She wanted to see more. She moved the telescope a little bit to see another star.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Tim asked, seeing Mia touch the telescope. "I told you not to touch anything!"
+
+"Sorry, Tim, I just wanted to see that star." Mia said, pointing at a small blue star. "It looks so nice."
+
+"That's not a star, Mia, that's a plane!" Tim said, annoyed. "You messed up the telescope! Now we can't see anything!"
+
+Tim tried to fix the telescope, but he couldn't. He got angry and pushed Mia away. Mia fell down and hurt her knee. She started to cry.
+
+"Go away, Mia, you're not my friend anymore!" Tim shouted. "You're not helpful, you're stupid!"
+
+Mia ran away, crying. She felt sad and lonely. She wished Tim was nice to her. She wished they could still look at the stars together. She wished they could still be friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They have a big box of fuel for their toys. Fuel is what makes the cars and trucks go fast and loud.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben are playing in the yard. They make a race track with sticks and stones. They take turns to race their cars and trucks. Anna has a red car and Ben has a blue truck.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Anna says. She pushes her car along the track. Ben pushes his truck behind her. They zoom past the sticks and stones. They have fun.
+
+But then, Anna's car hits a big stone. The car flips over and breaks. Anna is sad. She picks up her car and sees a crack in the wheel.
+
+"Oh no, my car is broken!" Anna cries. She shows her car to Ben.
+
+Ben looks at the car. He feels sorry for Anna. He has an idea.
+
+"Don't cry, Anna. I can heal your car!" Ben says. He takes some tape from the box of fuel. He wraps the tape around the wheel. He presses the tape hard.
+
+"There, your car is healed!" Ben says. He gives the car back to Anna.
+
+Anna looks at the car. She sees the tape on the wheel. She smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother!" Anna says. She hugs Ben.
+
+Ben hugs Anna back. He is happy.
+
+"Let's play some more!" Ben says. He takes his truck and Anna takes her car. They are playful.
+
+They put some fuel in their toys. They make them go fast and loud. They race along the track. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the big house. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran to the kitchen and saw a cupboard with a broken door. He thought it was a good place to hide, so he crawled inside and closed the door behind him.
+
+Anna counted to ten and then started to look for Ben. She looked in the living room, the bedroom, the bathroom, but she could not find him. She wondered where he was. She went to the kitchen and saw the cupboard with the broken door. She thought maybe Ben was hiding there, so she opened the door and peeked inside.
+
+"Boo!" Ben shouted and jumped out of the cupboard. He scared Anna and made her scream. He laughed and said, "I found the best hiding spot! You could not find me!"
+
+Anna was not happy. She said, "That was not fair! You hid in a broken cupboard! That is cheating!"
+
+Ben said, "No, it is not cheating! It is smart! You did not think of looking there!"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, I did! I was just about to find you! And you made me scream! You are mean!"
+
+Ben said, "No, I am not mean! I am funny! You are a sore loser!"
+
+Anna and Ben started to argue and shout at each other. They did not notice that the wind was blowing and the window was open. The kitchen became very cold and they started to shiver. They stopped arguing and looked at each other. They realized they were both freezing and hungry.
+
+They said, "Sorry" to each other and hugged. They decided to stop playing hide and seek and go to the living room, where there was a fire and some cookies. They ran to the living room and warmed up and ate some cookies. They agreed that playing hide and seek was fun, but not in a broken cupboard.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They went to the tree and looked in the hole. They saw two big eyes and a beak. It was an owl. The owl was sleeping. Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to touch the owl.
+
+They reached their hands in the hole. The owl woke up. It was angry. It did not like to be disturbed. It opened its wings and made a loud noise. It was shouting at Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They pulled their hands out of the hole. They ran away from the tree. They ran very fast. They did not want the owl to catch them.
+
+They found their mom and dad. They told them what happened. Mom and dad hugged them and said it was okay. They said the owl was just protecting its home. They said they should not bother the owl again. Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They played somewhere else. They had fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they did not like the big dog that lived next to the park. The dog was filthy and mean. It barked and growled at them every time they passed by.
+
+Yesterday, the dog got out of its yard. It ran into the park and chased Ben and Lily. They were scared and ran away. But the dog was faster and caught up with them. It jumped on Ben and bit his leg. Ben cried out in pain.
+
+Lily saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and hit the dog with it. The dog let go of Ben and ran away. Lily helped Ben get up and pointed at his leg. It was bleeding and hurt.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, it hurts a lot. We need to go home and tell mom," Ben said.
+
+They walked slowly to their house. They saw the dog's owner on the way. He was looking for his dog. He saw Ben's leg and Lily's stick. He looked angry and scared.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. My dog got out and I couldn't find him. He's never done this before. Is he hurt?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, he bit Ben and made him bleed. He's a bad dog. You need to keep him away from us," Lily said.
+
+"I'm so sorry. I'll take him to the vet and make sure he doesn't get out again. Please, let me help you. I'll drive you to the doctor and pay for your medicine," he said.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They were still scared and angry, but they also felt sorry for the man and his dog. They nodded and got in his car. He drove them to the doctor and waited for them. The doctor cleaned Ben's wound and gave him a bandage and some medicine. He said Ben would be fine, but he had to rest and take care of his leg.
+
+The man thanked the doctor and drove Ben and Lily back to their house. He apologized again and gave them some cookies and a toy. He said he hoped they would forgive him and his dog. He said he would train his dog and make sure he was friendly and clean.
+
+Ben and Lily thanked him and said goodbye. They went inside and told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said she was proud of them. She said they were brave and kind. She said they could have the cookies and the toy, but they had to wash their hands first. They were filthy from the park and the dog.
+Sara liked pink very much. She had a pink dress, a pink doll, and a pink bike. She wanted everything to be pink. One day, she saw a pink crayon on the table. She took it and ran to her room. She drew on the walls, the bed, and the floor. She made a big mess.
+
+Mom came to see what Sara was doing. She was very angry. She saw the pink crayon and the pink marks everywhere. She said, "Sara, you are very naughty. You did not ask to use the crayon. You did not respect our home. You have to punish. You have to clean your room and say sorry. And you have to give the crayon back."
+
+Sara was very sad. She did not like to punish. She did not like to clean. She did not like to say sorry. She did not like to give the crayon back. She cried and said, "But I love pink. I wanted to make my room pink. I did not mean to be naughty."
+
+Mom said, "I know you love pink, but you have to learn to share and to be careful. You cannot take things that are not yours. You cannot ruin things that are not yours. You have to be kind and honest. That is more important than pink."
+
+Sara understood. She wiped her tears and said, "You are right, Mom. I am sorry. I will clean my room and give the crayon back. I will be kind and honest. I will not be naughty again." She hugged Mom and said, "I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Sara. I am glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's go and clean your room together. And maybe later, we can find something pink that you can have for yourself."
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their board and crayons. They drew pictures of animals, houses, and cars on the board. Sometimes they erased their pictures and drew new ones. They had fun making different colors and shapes.
+
+One day, Ben wanted to draw a big dinosaur on the board. He used a green crayon and made a long tail, a big head, and sharp teeth. He was very proud of his dinosaur. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look, Lily, I made a dinosaur. It is big and scary. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily looked at the board and saw the dinosaur. She did not like it. She wanted to draw a princess on the board. She said, "No, Ben, I don't like your dinosaur. It is ugly and mean. I want to draw a princess. She is pretty and nice. Give me the board."
+
+Ben did not want to give the board to Lily. He said, "No, Lily, you can't have the board. It is my turn. You can draw a princess later. I like my dinosaur. It is cool and strong. Go away."
+
+Lily was angry. She grabbed the board from Ben and tried to erase his dinosaur. Ben was angry too. He pulled the board back and pushed Lily. They both fell on the floor and the board broke in half. They both cried and said, "You broke the board. You are bad. I don't want to play with you."
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben and Lily crying and the broken board on the floor. She said, "What happened here? Why are you crying? Why is the board broken?"
+
+Ben and Lily told Mom what happened. They both blamed each other and said it was not their fault. Mom said, "You both did something wrong. You should not fight over the board. You should share and take turns. You should not break the board. It was a nice board. You should be sorry and say sorry to each other."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. Mom said, "That's good. I'm glad you are sorry and you are friends again. But you still need to learn a lesson. You need to be tidy and take care of your things. You can't play with the board anymore. You need to replace it with your own money. You need to save your money and buy a new board. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We will be tidy and take care of our things. We will save our money and buy a new board. We will not fight again. We will play nicely."
+
+Mom said, "That's good. I hope you will keep your promise. Now, go and clean up this mess. Then you can play with something else. But remember, be tidy and take turns."
+
+Ben and Lily said, "OK, Mom, we will." They cleaned up the mess and put their crayons away. Then they played with their blocks and made a castle. They were happy and friendly. They learned their lesson.

+
+Jen is surprised and curious. She forgets about the race. She says "Hi, Tom! You found a cat? He is cute and friendly? I want to meet him!" She gets off her bike and walks to Tom. She sees the cat and smiles. She pets the cat and says "Hello, cat! What is your name?"

+Tom and Lily were very excite to go on a walk with Mom and Dad. They put on their hats and shoes and got their water bottles. Mom and Dad said they would show them a new trail in the park.
+

+
+"It was him! He took it from me!" the boy said, pointing at Tom.
+
+"Is that true?" the cart man asked Tom.
+
+Tom nodded. He was scared.
+
+"You have to pay for the car. It was not yours to play with. You have to quit being naughty," the cart man said.
+
+Tom did not have any money. He looked at Mom. Mom was sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, sir. Tom did not mean to break the car. He just wanted to play. He is still learning to share and respect other people's things. How much is the car?" Mom asked.
+
+The cart man looked at the broken car. He looked at Tom and the boy. He looked at Mom.
+
+"The car was five dollars. But I can see you are sorry. And I don't want to make you cry. How about you give me two dollars and we call it even?" he said.

+
+"Let's spend all day eating candy!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Tom said. They opened the jar and took out some candy. They put the candy in their mouths.
+
+But the candy was sour. It made their faces twist. It hurt their teeth. It was not yummy at all.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. "This candy is bad!"
+
+"Yuck!" Tom said. "It makes me sick!"
+
+They tried to spit out the candy, but it was too late. The candy was stuck to their tongues. They could not get rid of the sour taste.

+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see how they looked in the mirror. The mirror was on the wall, near the door.
+
+"Can you pass me the mirror, Ben?" Sara asked. "I want to see my doll's dress."
+
+"No, I want to see my car's wheels," Ben said. "You can see your doll later."
+
+Sara was sad and angry. She wanted to see her doll now. She tried to grab the mirror from Ben, but he held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the mirror, making loud noises.

+

+
+Their mom sighed and hugged them. "It's okay, my loves. I know you didn't mean to break the mirror. But you have to be more careful and kind to each other. How about you take turns with the mirror? Sara can see her doll first, and then Ben can see his car. Okay?"

+"Okay, mom," Sara and Ben said. They smiled and nodded. They passed the mirror to each other and said nice things about their toys. They were being obedient and happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Tom was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran to a big bush with red flowers and hid behind it. She thought Tom would never find her there.
+
+Tom looked around the park and saw many places where Lily could hide. He saw a slide, a swing, a bench, a tree, and a bush. He decided to check the bush first, because it was the closest to him. He walked to the bush and peeked behind it.
+
+"Found you!" he shouted, as he saw Lily's face. "You have to surrender now!"
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She did not want to surrender. She wanted to keep playing. She thought Tom was not fair. She pushed him away and ran out of the bush.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Tom said, as he chased after her. "You have to follow the rules!"
+
+Lily did not listen. She ran faster and faster. She did not see where she was going. She did not see the road. She did not see the car.
+
+The car saw Lily, but it was too late. It hit her with a loud noise. Lily fell to the ground and did not move. Tom stopped and screamed. He ran to Lily and cried. He wished he had never found her.

+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun together.
+
+One day, they see a big tree. The tree has many apples. The apples are red and shiny. Lily and Tom want to eat the apples. They are hungry.
+
+"Look, Tom, apples!" Lily says. "Let's get some!"
+
+"But Lily, the tree is not ours. It is Mr. Brown's tree. He is not here. He is at work. He will be angry if we take his apples. That is trouble." Tom says.
+
+Lily does not listen. She is brave. She climbs the tree. She picks an apple. She bites it. It is sweet and juicy. She smiles.
+
+"Come on, Tom, it is good!" Lily says. "Mr. Brown has many apples. He will not miss one or two."
+
+Tom is scared. He does not want to make Mr. Brown angry. He does not want to get in trouble. He shakes his head.
+
+"No, Lily, I don't want to. It is bad. It is not fair. We should ask Mr. Brown first. He might share his apples with us. He is nice." Tom says.
+
+Lily does not care. She picks another apple. She throws it to Tom. Tom catches it. He looks at it. He is tempted. He wants to eat it. But he knows it is wrong.
+
+He gazes at the apple. He gazes at Lily. He gazes at the tree. He does not know what to do. He is confused.
+
+What will Tom do? Will he eat the apple or not? Will he join Lily or not? Will they get in trouble or not? What do you think?
+Ben and Mia were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so happy!" Mia said.
+
+"Yes, he is. But we have to prevent him from melting," Ben said. "How can we do that?"
+
+They thought for a while. Then they had an idea. They ran to the shed and got a big blanket. They wrapped the blanket around the snowman.
+
+"There, now he will stay icy for longer," Ben said.
+
+They were about to go back to their house when they heard a strange noise. They turned around and saw a kangaroo hopping towards them. The kangaroo had escaped from the zoo and was looking for a warm place to stay.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the kangaroo said. "Can I share your blanket? I'm very cold."
+
+Ben and Mia were surprised and scared. They had never seen a kangaroo before. They didn't know what to do.
+
+"Please, don't hurt our snowman," Mia said.
+
+"Don't worry, I won't. I just want to cuddle with him. He looks so cozy," the kangaroo said.
+
+The kangaroo jumped over the fence and snuggled under the blanket with the snowman. Ben and Mia watched as the kangaroo and the snowman became friends.
+
+"Maybe we can prevent them both from melting," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe we can," Mia said.
+
+They smiled and went to get some hot chocolate. They decided to let the kangaroo and the snowman enjoy their icy blanket. They hoped the zookeepers would find the kangaroo soon and take him back to his home.

+
+Anna was scared and sad. She cried and shouted. "Go away, dog! You are bad! You ruined my lilies!" The dog did not understand. He licked Anna's face and tried to be friendly. He did not know he did something wrong.
+
+A man came running after the dog. He saw what happened and felt sorry. He said to Anna, "I'm sorry, little girl. This is my dog. He is very playful, but he does not know how to behave. He did not mean to hurt your lilies. Can I help you fix them?"
+
+Anna looked at the man and the dog. She was still crying, but she was not angry anymore. She said, "It's okay, mister. I know he is a good dog. But he made a big mess. Can you help me pick up my lilies?"
+
+The man nodded and smiled. He said, "Of course, I can. And I will buy some lilies from you, too. They are very beautiful, just like you." He helped Anna put the table back and gather the lilies. He gave her some money and took a bunch of lilies. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind and brave. I hope you have a good day."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mister. You are very nice and helpful. I hope you have a good day, too. And please teach your dog not to jump on tables." She waved goodbye to the man and the dog.

+One day, they heard a loud noise from the attic. It sounded like a bang and a crash. They looked at each other and felt curious and scared.
+
+"Let's go and see what it is!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Lily said.
+
+They ran up the stairs and opened the door. They saw a big hole in the roof and a lot of broken wood. They also saw a bird. It was a hawk. It had shiny eyes and sharp claws. It looked angry and hurt.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said.
+
+"Shh, don't make it mad!" Lily said.
+
+The hawk saw them and flapped its wings. It tried to fly away, but it could not. It was stuck in the hole. It made a loud and scary sound.
+
+"Help, help!" Ben and Lily shouted.
+
+They turned around and rushed to the door. They wanted to get out of the attic. They hoped their mom or dad would hear them and come to help. They did not like the hawk. It was not a nice or fun thing. It was a dull and mean thing.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They had a bow and some arrows that their dad made for them. They liked to pretend they were brave hunters.
+
+"Look, Lila, a bird!" Tom said, pointing to a blue jay on a branch. "Let's try to catch it!"
+
+He took an arrow and put it on the bow. He pulled the string and aimed at the bird. But he was not very good at shooting. The arrow flew too high and missed the bird.
+
+"Oops!" Tom said. "I think I need more practice."
+
+Lila laughed. She took an arrow and put it on the bow. She pulled the string and aimed at the bird. She was better at shooting than Tom. The arrow flew straight and hit the bird.
+
+"Wow, Lila, you did it!" Tom said. "You are a great hunter!"
+
+Lila smiled. She ran to the branch and picked up the bird. She was happy that she caught it, but she also felt sorry for it. The bird was very small and soft. It had bright feathers and a cute beak. It was adorable.
+
+"Tom, look, the bird is still alive!" Lila said. "It is not hurt, just scared. The arrow only touched its wing. Let's set it free!"
+
+Tom nodded. He liked the bird too. He helped Lila to take the arrow off the wing. The bird fluttered and chirped. It looked at them with its shiny eyes.
+
+"Bye, bird, we are sorry we scared you," Lila said. "You are very pretty. Please don't be mad at us."
+
+She opened her hand and let the bird go. The bird flew away, but not too far. It landed on another branch and sang a song. It sounded like a thank you.
+
+Lila and Tom waved at the bird. They felt happy and proud. They decided to play something else. They did not want to shoot arrows anymore. They wanted to be friends with the birds.
+Sara and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many birds by the pond. They saw ducks, geese, and a big white swan. Sara liked the swan. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Mom, can I touch the swan?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, Sara, the swan might bite you. It is not a pet. It is a wild bird. You can look at it, but not touch it," mom said.
+
+Sara was sad. She wanted to be friends with the swan. She saw the swan eat some bread that a man threw in the water. She wondered how the bread tasted.
+
+"Mom, can I have some bread too?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure, Sara, here you go. But don't throw it to the swan. It is not good for them. They need to eat plants and fish," mom said.
+
+Sara took a bite of the bread. It was soft and sweet. She liked it. She saw the swan look at her. She thought the swan was envious of her bread.
+
+"Hi, swan. Do you want some bread?" Sara said. She held out a piece of bread to the swan.
+
+The swan stretched its long neck and snapped at the bread. It took it from Sara's hand. Sara was surprised. She felt a little pain in her finger.
+
+"Ow, swan, you bit me!" Sara cried.
+
+Mom heard Sara and ran to her. She saw the blood on Sara's finger. She was angry at the swan.
+
+"Bad swan, bad swan! How dare you bite my daughter! Go away, go away!" mom shouted.
+
+The swan was scared of mom. It swam away quickly. It did not like mom. It did not like Sara. It did not like the bread. It only liked the pond.
+
+Sara was sad and hurt. She did not like the swan anymore. She learned a lesson. She learned that not all birds are friendly. She learned that some things are better to look at than to taste.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wants to feed them some bread.
+
+"Look, Ben, ducks!" Lily says. She runs to the pond with a piece of bread in her hand.
+
+"Wait, Lily, be careful!" Ben calls. He follows her, but he is slower.
+
+Lily throws the bread to the ducks. They quack and swim to get it. Lily laughs and claps. She wants to throw more bread. She steps closer to the pond.
+
+But the ground is wet and slippery. Lily slips and falls into the pond. She screams and splashes. The water is cold and deep. The ducks are scared and swim away.
+
+"Lily!" Ben calls. He runs to the pond and reaches out his hand. "Grab my hand, Lily!"
+
+Lily grabs Ben's hand. He pulls her out of the pond. She is wet and shivering. Her clothes and hair and shoes are wet. Her bread is gone.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asks. He hugs her and rubs her back.
+
+"I'm okay, Ben," Lily says. She sniffles and smiles. "But I'm very wet. And I lost my bread. And the ducks are gone."
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Ben says. "We can get more bread. And we can see the ducks another day. But now we have to go home. Mom will be worried. And you need to change your wet stuff."
+
+"Okay, Ben," Lily says. She nods and holds his hand. They walk to the bike rack. Ben helps Lily get on her bike. He gets on his bike too. They ride home together. They are wet, but they are happy. They are good friends.
+Sara did not like nap time. She thought it was boring. She wanted to play with her toys and her friends. But Mommy said she had to go to her bedroom and sleep for a little while.
+
+"Please, Mommy, can I stay up?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, Sara, you need to rest. You had a busy morning. You can play later, after nap time," Mommy said.
+
+She took Sara by the hand and led her to her bedroom. She tucked her in and gave her a kiss.
+
+"Sweet dreams, Sara. I love you," Mommy said.
+
+She closed the door and left. Sara sighed. She looked around her bedroom. She saw her teddy bear, her doll, her books, and her crayons. She wished she could play with them. She felt bored.
+
+She decided to get out of bed and sneak to the door. She opened it a little and peeked outside. She saw Mommy in the kitchen, making lunch. She saw the sun shining through the window. She saw the garden with the flowers and the birds. She wanted to go outside.
+
+She opened the door more and tiptoed down the hall. She was careful not to make any noise. She reached the back door and opened it. She felt the fresh air and the warm sun. She smiled. She ran to the garden and picked a flower. She saw a butterfly and chased it. She felt happy.
+
+She did not see Mommy coming behind her. Mommy saw Sara in the garden and frowned. She was not happy.
+
+"Sara, what are you doing? You are supposed to be in your bedroom, napping. You are a naughty girl," Mommy said.
+
+She grabbed Sara by the arm and led her back to the house. She scolded her and put her back in bed. She took away her toys and her books. She said she could not play until she slept.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy. I was bored. I wanted to have fun," Sara said.
+
+"Boredom is not an excuse, Sara. You have to follow the rules. Nap time is important for your health and your growth. You can have fun after you wake up. Now, close your eyes and sleep," Mommy said.
+
+She left the room and locked the door. Sara cried. She felt sad and lonely. She wished she had listened to Mommy. She learned her lesson. She closed her eyes and slept.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and hairy. It has sharp teeth and a loud bark.
+
+"Let's go and pet the dog!" Sam says. He runs to the dog.
+
+"No, don't!" Tom says. He is afraid of the dog. He thinks the dog is ugly and mean. He stays far away from the dog.
+
+Sam reaches the dog. He tries to touch its head. The dog does not like that. It growls and snaps at Sam. Sam is scared. He runs back to Tom.
+
+"Are you okay?" Tom asks. He is worried about Sam.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. But the dog is not nice. It refused to let me pet it. It tried to bite me!" Sam says. He is sad and angry.
+
+"I told you not to go near the dog. It is ugly and mean. It does not want to be our friend. We should stay away from it." Tom says. He is glad that Sam is safe.
+
+They decide to play with their cars and balls instead. They have fun. They forget about the dog. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond. The pond is deep and blue. They want to see what is in the pond.
+
+"Look, Sara, a frog!" Ben says. He points to a green frog on a leaf. The frog has big eyes and a long tongue.
+
+"Can we hop like the frog?" Sara asks. She likes to hop. She hops on one foot, then on the other.
+
+"Let's hop to the pond!" Ben says. He hops after Sara. They hop and hop until they reach the edge of the pond.
+
+"Be careful, Sara, the pond is deep!" Ben says. He does not want Sara to fall in the water.
+
+"I know, Ben, I will not fall!" Sara says. She hops on a big rock near the pond. She sees the frog hop too. The frog hops from the leaf to the water. It makes a splash.
+
+"Wow, the frog can swim!" Sara says. She wants to swim too. She sees something shiny in the water. It looks like jelly. She reaches for it with her hand.
+
+"Sara, no, that is not jelly!" Ben says. He knows what it is. It is a fish. The fish has scales and fins. It is not good to eat.
+
+But Sara does not hear Ben. She touches the fish. The fish is slippery and wet. It wiggles and swims away. Sara is surprised. She loses her balance. She falls in the pond.
+
+"Sara!" Ben shouts. He is scared. He jumps in the pond too. He grabs Sara's hand. He pulls her out of the water.
+
+They are both wet and cold. They are also sad. They did not see the frog or the fish. They only see the water.
+
+"Sorry, Ben, I thought it was jelly," Sara says. She is sorry for making Ben jump in the pond.
+
+"It's okay, Sara, I am glad you are safe," Ben says. He is glad Sara is not hurt.
+
+They hug each other. They are still friends. They walk back to the park. They dry themselves in the sun. They decide to play something else. They do not hop to the pond again.
+Ben likes to play with bricks. He has many bricks of different colors and shapes. He can build towers and walls and bridges with his bricks. He likes to make his bricks high and strong.
+
+One day, he wants to make the highest tower ever. He puts one brick on top of another, and another, and another. He uses all his bricks, but he is not happy. His tower is still not high enough. He wants to reach the sky.
+
+He looks around and sees a big pile of bricks near the fence. They are dull and gray and dirty, but they are bricks. He thinks they can help him make his tower higher. He runs to the pile and grabs some bricks. He carries them to his tower and puts them on top.
+
+But the dull bricks are heavy and rough. They make his tower wobble and shake. Ben tries to balance them, but it is too hard. He reaches for one more brick, but he pushes too hard. His tower falls down with a loud crash. The bricks scatter everywhere. Some of them hit Ben and hurt him.
+
+Ben cries and cries. He is sad and sore. He does not like the dull bricks. He wants his colorful and smooth bricks. He wishes he did not use the dull bricks. He learns a lesson. He will not use the dull bricks again. He will only use his own bricks. He will be careful and happy.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they find a wallet on the bench. It is brown and has a zipper.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. "Maybe it has money inside."
+
+He opens the zipper and sees some bills and coins. He takes one bill and puts it in his pocket.
+
+"Hey, that's not yours!" Lily says. "You have to give it back to the owner."
+
+"Why?" Ben says. "It's just paper. I can buy candy with it."
+
+He runs to the store and buys a big lollipop. He licks it and smiles.
+
+"Mmm, this tastes so good!" he says.
+
+Lily follows him and shakes her head.
+
+"That's not nice, Ben," she says. "You are stealing. The owner of the wallet will be sad and angry."
+
+She points to a man who is looking around the park. He has a blue shirt and a hat.
+
+"Look, there he is!" she says. "Maybe that's his wallet. Let's go and give it to him."
+
+She takes the wallet from Ben and runs to the man. She gives him the wallet and says, "Sorry, sir. We found this on the bench. Is it yours?"
+
+The man looks at the wallet and smiles. He opens it and counts the money.
+
+"Yes, it is mine. Thank you so much, little girl. You are very kind and honest. You saved me a lot of trouble."
+
+He gives Lily a hug and a reward. He also gives Ben a stern look and says, "And you, young man. You should not take things that are not yours. That is wrong and rude. You should apologize and return the money."
+
+Ben feels ashamed and sorry. He takes the bill from his pocket and gives it to the man. He also gives him the lollipop.
+
+"I'm sorry, sir. I was greedy and foolish. I won't do it again," he says.
+
+The man nods and says, "I forgive you, but you have to learn from your mistake. Honesty is the best policy. Remember that."
+
+He walks away with his wallet and his hat.
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They hug and say, "We are still friends."
+
+They go back to the park and play with their toys. They are happy and popular. Everyone likes them because they are good and nice.
+Sara is a young girl who likes to play with her yellow ball. She likes to throw it, catch it, and bounce it. She also likes to share it with her friends.
+
+One day, she goes to the park with her mom and sees a boy sitting on a bench. He looks sad and bored. Sara wants to make him happy, so she walks up to him and says, "Hi, I'm Sara. Do you want to play with me and my ball?"
+
+The boy looks up and sees Sara and her yellow ball. He smiles and says, "Hi, I'm Ben. Yes, I want to play with you and your ball. Thank you for asking me."
+
+Sara and Ben become friends and play with the ball for a long time. They throw it, catch it, and bounce it. They also laugh and talk. They have fun together.
+
+Sara's mom watches them and smiles too. She is glad that Sara is kind and friendly. She thinks that Sara and Ben are good for each other. She hopes that they will play again soon.
+Ben and Lily woke up early. They wanted to see the sunrise. They put on their coats and hats and went outside. They saw their dad loading the car with bags and boxes.
+
+"Where are you going, dad?" Ben asked.
+
+"We are going to grandma's house for the holidays. Do you want to help me load the car?" dad said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said. They helped dad load the car with their toys and books. They were excited to see grandma and grandpa.
+
+When they finished loading the car, they looked at the sky. It was pink and orange and yellow. The sun was rising over the hills. It was very beautiful and peaceful.
+
+"Wow, look at the sunrise!" Lily said.
+
+"It's so pretty!" Ben said.
+
+"Let's take a picture of it!" dad said. He took out his phone and snapped a photo of the sunrise and his children. He smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Are you ready to go?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, we are!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+They got in the car and buckled their seatbelts. Dad started the engine and drove away. They waved goodbye to their house and their friends. They were happy to go on a trip and see the sunrise.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a magic wand in the attic. It was shiny and had a star on the end. They wondered what it could do.
+
+"Let's try it on something," Tim said. He pointed the wand at his bicycle. "Shrink!" he said.
+
+To their surprise, the bicycle became very small. It was as small as a mouse. Tim and Lily laughed. They picked up the tiny bicycle and put it on the table.
+
+"Can you make it big again?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tim said. He pointed the wand at the bicycle again. "Grow!" he said.
+
+But nothing happened. The bicycle stayed small. Tim and Lily tried different words, but none of them worked.
+
+"Oh no, what if we can't make it big again?" Lily said. She felt sad. She liked the bicycle. It was red and had a bell.
+
+"Maybe we need to say something else," Tim said. He thought hard. He remembered a word he heard on TV. "Abracadabra!" he said.
+
+Suddenly, the bicycle grew very big. It was bigger than before. It was bigger than the table. It was bigger than Tim and Lily. It pushed them off the table and onto the floor.
+
+"Wow!" Tim and Lily said. They looked at the giant bicycle. It was red and had a bell. And it was moving.
+
+The bicycle started to roll around the room. It knocked over chairs and lamps. It made a loud noise. Tim and Lily were scared. They ran after the bicycle. They tried to stop it.
+
+"Help!" they shouted. "Stop, bicycle, stop!"
+
+But the bicycle did not stop. It went faster and faster. It went out of the door and down the stairs. It went out of the house and into the street. It went past cars and people. It made everyone dizzy.
+
+Tim and Lily followed the bicycle. They hoped it would stop soon. They wished they never found the magic wand. They wished they had a normal bicycle. A bicycle that was red and had a bell. And that was not bigger than them.
+Lily wanted to help her mom bake a cake. She put on a pink apron and climbed on a stool. She saw a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some sugar on the table.
+
+"Can I crack the eggs, mom?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be careful not to make a mess," mom said.
+
+Lily took an egg and tapped it on the edge of the bowl. But the egg was too hard and it broke in her hand. The yolk and the white spilled on her apron and on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I'm sorry, mom!"
+
+Mom looked at Lily and smiled. "It's okay, sweetie, accidents happen. Why don't you wash your hands and your apron in the sink, and I'll clean the floor?"
+
+Lily nodded and went to the sink. She turned on the faucet and rubbed her hands with soap. She tried to wash her apron, too, but it was too wet and sticky. She felt frustrated. She wanted to help mom, not make more work for her.
+
+"Mom, I can't wash my apron," she said.
+
+Mom came to the sink and took the apron from Lily. She rinsed it and hung it on a hook.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily, we can wash it later in the machine. You can still help me bake the cake. How about you stir the flour and the sugar in the bowl?"
+
+Lily smiled and dried her hands. She took a big spoon and stirred the flour and the sugar. She felt happy. She liked to bake with mom. She hoped the cake would be yummy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big field with many sheep. They wanted to touch the sheep and hear them say "baa". They ran to the field and climbed over the fence.
+
+"Look, Ben, the sheep are so soft and white!" Lily said, as she stroked a sheep's wool.
+
+"Let's chase them and make them run!" Ben said, as he ran after another sheep.
+
+But the sheep did not like to be chased. They were scared and ran away from the twins. They ran to the other side of the field, where there was a distant hill. The twins followed them, but they did not see the farmer who was watching them.
+
+"Hey, you two, stop that!" the farmer shouted, as he ran after the twins. "You are scaring my sheep! They need to be calm and happy, not frightened and stressed!"
+
+The twins heard the farmer and stopped. They felt sorry for the sheep and for the farmer. They realized they had been naughty and rude.
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Lily said, as she and Ben walked back to the fence. "We did not mean to scare your sheep. We just wanted to play with them."
+
+"Well, you should have asked me first," the farmer said, as he reached them. "Sheep are not toys, they are living animals. They have feelings and needs, just like you. You should respect them and treat them kindly."
+
+The twins nodded and apologized again. The farmer smiled and forgave them. He even let them feed some carrots to the sheep, who came closer and said "baa". The twins learned their lesson and thanked the farmer. They promised to be more careful and respectful with animals. They went home happy and wiser.
+Ben was a chubby dog who loved to play with his human, Tom. Tom was a little boy who liked to throw balls and sticks for Ben to chase. They had a lot of fun together in the park.
+
+One day, Tom had a surprise for Ben. He said, "Ben, I have something to show you. Come with me!" Ben was very excite. He followed Tom to a big car. Tom opened the door and said, "Look, Ben, this is your new friend. Her name is Lily. She is a puppy. She will live with us now."
+
+Ben saw a small, fluffy dog in the car. She had brown fur and black eyes. She looked at Ben and wagged her tail. Ben was curious. He sniffed Lily and licked her face. Lily licked him back and barked. Ben barked too. They liked each other.
+
+Tom smiled and said, "I'm glad you two get along. Let's go home and play." He put Lily and Ben in the car and drove away. Ben and Lily cuddled and napped on the way. They were happy. They had a new friend.
+Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have a big box of cars and trucks in their room. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a red car with a button. Tim presses the button and the car makes a loud noise. "Zoom! Zoom!" the car says. Tim and Sam laugh. They want to try the car.
+
+They take the car to the backyard. They see a big hole in the ground. It is a pit. Dad is digging the pit for a new pool. The pit is deep and wet. Tim and Sam think the pit is a good place for the car.
+
+"Let's make the car zoom in the pit!" Tim says. He throws the car in the air. The car flies over the pit and lands on the other side. "Wow!" Sam says. "That was cool!"
+
+They run to get the car. They want to do it again. But the car is not working. It is covered in mud and water. The button is broken. The car does not make any noise. Tim and Sam are sad. They broke the car.
+
+They hear Dad coming. He sees the car in the mud. He is not happy. He picks up the car and looks at it. He shakes his head. He says to Tim and Sam, "What did you do? This car was a gift from Grandma. She wanted you to take good care of it. Now it is ruined. You have to say sorry to Grandma and to me."
+
+Tim and Sam feel bad. They did not mean to break the car. They say sorry to Dad and to Grandma. They hug them and promise to be more careful. They hope the car can be fixed. They still like to play with cars and trucks. But they do not zoom them in the pit anymore.
+Tom and Jen are big kids. They like to play in the house when mom and dad are not home. They like to dress up and pretend they are grown-ups. They find mom and dad's clothes and hats and shoes and put them on. They look funny and laugh.
+
+They go to the kitchen and see a big bottle on the table. It is red and shiny. Tom says, "This is wine. Mom and dad drink it when they have guests. Let's pretend we have guests too. I will be the waiter and you will be the lady." Jen nods and smiles. She likes to play with Tom.
+
+Tom takes two glasses from the cupboard and fills them with wine. He carries them carefully to the living room, where Jen is sitting on the sofa. He says, "Good evening, madam. Here is your wine. Enjoy your drink." He puts the glass on the table and bows. Jen says, "Thank you, sir. You are very kind. You are a good waiter." She picks up the glass and sips the wine. It tastes bitter and sour. She makes a face and spits it out. Tom laughs and says, "What's wrong, madam? Don't you like the wine? It is very expensive and fancy." Jen says, "No, I don't. It is yucky and bad. I want juice or milk." She puts the glass down and wipes her mouth.
+
+Tom says, "Don't be silly, madam. You have to drink the wine. It is polite and grown-up. Here, I will show you." He takes the other glass and drinks the wine. He drinks it all at once. He feels a warm and funny feeling in his tummy. He says, "See, madam? It is not so bad. It is fun. I feel happy and dizzy. Do you want some more?" He goes back to the kitchen and gets the bottle. He pours more wine into the glasses. He brings them to the living room and says, "Here, madam. Have some more wine. It will make you happy too."
+
+Jen says, "No, thank you, sir. I don't want any more wine. I want to stop playing. I don't feel good. I feel sick and scared. You are not funny anymore. You are serious and mean. Please stop, sir. Please." She starts to cry and shake. Tom says, "Don't cry, madam. Don't be a baby. Drink the wine. Drink the wine. Drink the wine." He pushes the glass to her face. He spills the wine on her dress and on the sofa. He laughs and says, "Drink the wine. Drink the wine. Drink the wine."
+
+Jen screams and pushes him away. She runs to the door and tries to open it. It is locked. She can't get out. She can't get help. She is trapped with Tom. Tom is not Tom anymore. He is a monster. He chases her and grabs her. He says, "Drink the wine. Drink the wine. Drink the wine." He forces the glass to her mouth. She chokes and coughs. She can't breathe. She can't see. She can't hear. She can't feel. She is gone.
+
+The end.
+Tom is a boy who likes to run and play. He has a friend named Sue who likes to run and play too. They go to the park every day and have fun.
+
+One day, Tom feels sick. He coughs a lot and his chest hurts. He tells his mom, "Mom, I don't feel good. I can't run and play."
+
+His mom takes him to the doctor. The doctor listens to his chest with a tool. He says, "Tom, you have a problem with your lung. Your lung is empty. It does not have enough air. You need to take some medicine and rest."
+
+Tom is sad. He asks, "Doctor, will I be able to run and play again?"
+
+The doctor smiles and says, "Yes, Tom, you will. But you need to be patient and follow my advice. The medicine will help your lung fill up with air again. Then you will feel better and stronger."
+
+Tom nods and says, "Okay, doctor. Thank you for helping me."
+
+He goes home with his mom and takes his medicine. He rests in his bed and reads some books. He misses Sue and the park.
+
+The next day, Sue comes to visit him. She brings him a balloon and a card. She says, "Hi, Tom. I heard you are sick. I'm sorry. I hope you get well soon. I miss you at the park."
+
+Tom is happy to see Sue. He says, "Hi, Sue. Thank you for the balloon and the card. They are very nice. I miss you too. I have a problem with my lung. It is empty. But the doctor gave me some medicine and said I will be able to run and play again."
+
+Sue says, "That's good, Tom. I'm glad you will be okay. Can I see your lung?"
+
+Tom says, "No, Sue. You can't see my lung. It is inside me. But you can hear it. Listen."
+
+He breathes deeply and lets out a big cough. Sue listens and says, "Wow, Tom. Your lung sounds funny. Does it hurt?"
+
+Tom says, "A little bit. But it will get better. The medicine will make it full of air again. Then we can go to the park and have fun."
+
+Sue says, "I can't wait, Tom. I hope you feel better soon. I love you, Tom."
+
+Tom says, "I love you too, Sue. You are my best friend."
+Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many furry flies. The flies have wings and hang from the tree. Tim and Mia want to catch the flies and touch them.
+
+"Look, Mia, a furry fly!" Tim says. He runs to the tree and jumps to grab a fly. But the fly is too high and Tim falls down. He hurts his knee and cries.
+
+"Tim, are you okay?" Mia asks. She runs to Tim and hugs him. She sees blood on his knee and feels scared.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Tim says. He wants his mom and dad.
+
+"Shh, Tim, it's okay. I'll get help," Mia says. She looks around and sees a man with a phone. She runs to the man and says, "Please, help! My brother is hurt!"
+
+The man looks at Mia and smiles. He says, "Don't worry, little girl. I'll help you and your brother. Come with me."
+
+Mia trusts the man and follows him. She thinks he will take her to Tim and call their mom and dad. But the man is bad. He does not help Tim. He takes Mia to his car and drives away. He wants to keep Mia for himself.
+
+Tim is alone in the park. He cries and cries. He does not see Mia or the man. He does not see the furry flies. He only sees his blood and feels his pain. He is very sad and scared. He does not know what to do. He wishes Mia would come back. He wishes his mom and dad would come. He wishes he never saw the furry flies.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the mud. They liked to make pies and castles with the wet dirt. They did not care that their shirts were filthy. They were having fun.
+
+But then, Mom came out of the house. She looked at them and frowned. She said, "What are you doing? You are so dirty! Come here and let me clean you up."
+
+Sam and Lily did not want to stop playing. They said, "No, Mom, we are not done yet. We are making a big castle. Please let us play a little more."
+
+Mom shook her head. She said, "No, you have to come now. You cannot wear those filthy shirts inside the house. They will make everything dirty too. And you need to wash your hands and faces. You have mud all over you."
+
+Sam and Lily sighed. They knew Mom was right. They noticed that their shirts were very filthy. They had brown and green stains on them. They also noticed that their hands and faces were dirty. They had mud on their noses and cheeks.
+
+They said, "Okay, Mom, we will come. But can we play in the mud again tomorrow?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can play in the mud again tomorrow. But only if you wear old shirts that you do not mind getting filthy. And you have to clean up after you play. Deal?"
+
+Sam and Lily nodded. They said, "Deal, Mom. Thank you."
+
+They followed Mom to the house. They took off their filthy shirts and put them in the laundry basket. They washed their hands and faces with soap and water. They felt fresh and clean.
+
+They hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, Sam and Lily. You are the best too."
+Lily loved roses. She liked to smell them, touch them, and look at their pretty colors. She had a rose bush in her garden that her mom helped her plant. Every day, she watered it and talked to it. She wanted it to grow big and strong and make many roses.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new rose on her bush. It was red and shiny and smelled sweet. She was so happy. She ran to get her scissors to cut it and give it to her mom. She thought her mom would love it too. She valued the rose very much.
+
+But when she came back, she saw a big bird on her bush. It was black and noisy and had a sharp beak. It was pecking at her rose. It wanted to eat it. Lily was scared and angry. She shouted at the bird to go away. She threw her scissors at it. She tried to save her rose.
+
+The bird was startled by Lily's noise. It flew away, but not before it tore off some petals from the rose. Lily saw her rose was hurt. It was not shiny and pretty anymore. It was sad and droopy. Lily cried. She felt sorry for her rose. She wished she had been more quiet and careful.
+
+She picked up her rose gently and took it to her mom. She told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. She said the rose was still beautiful and she loved it. She said Lily was brave and kind to try to protect it. She said she valued Lily more than any rose. Lily smiled. She felt better. She gave her rose and her mom a kiss. She learned a lesson. She learned to be quiet and careful around her roses. She learned to value what she had.
+Tom and Anna like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!
+
+One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a picture of a car on it. They open the box and see many pieces of metal and plastic. They are curious. What is this?
+
+They ask their dad, who is a mechanic. He fixes cars for people. He tells them that this is a car kit. They can build their own car with it. He shows them the instructions and the tools. He says it is fun, but hard.
+
+Tom and Anna want to try. They say they are smart and can do it. They ask their dad to help them. He agrees, but says they have to follow the steps and be careful.
+
+They start to work on the car kit. They discover how to fit the pieces together and use the tools. They learn about wheels, doors, windows, lights, and engine. They have fun and feel proud. They talk to each other and their dad. "Look, I made a door!" "Wow, you are smart!" "Dad, how does the engine work?" "Well, it makes the car go. It needs gas and air."
+
+After a long time, they finish the car. It is red and shiny. It has four wheels and two seats. It can move and make noises. They are very happy. They thank their dad for helping them. He hugs them and says they did a great job. He says they are smart and creative.
+
+They take the car outside and play with it. They pretend to drive it on the street and park it in the garage. They make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! They have a lot of fun with their new car. They discover that they love cars and building things. They want to be mechanics like their dad.
+Sam and Lily like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. Sam has a big red car with a horn. Lily has a small blue car with a siren.
+
+One day, they are playing in the living room. Sam pushes his car on the floor and makes it go fast. He presses the horn and it makes a loud beep. Lily pushes her car on the floor and makes it go faster. She presses the siren and it makes a louder wail.
+
+Sam and Lily have fun making their cars go and making noise. But Mom is in the kitchen and she does not like the noise. She comes to the living room and says, "Sam and Lily, please stop making so much noise. You are hurting my ears. Play with your cars quietly or go outside."
+
+Sam and Lily do not want to stop playing with their cars. They do not want to go outside. They say, "But Mom, we like to push our cars and make noise. It is fun. The horn and the siren are cool."
+
+Mom says, "I know you like to play with your cars, but you have to be respectful of others. The horn and the siren are noisy and annoying. You can play with your cars without them. Or you can go outside and make noise there. But you cannot stay in the living room and make noise. You have to choose."
+
+Sam and Lily think for a moment. They do not want to upset Mom. They do not want to hurt her ears. They do not want to lose their cars. They decide to play with their cars without the horn and the siren. They push their cars on the floor and make them go fast. But they do not press the horn or the siren. They make their own sounds with their mouths. They say, "Vroom, vroom, zoom, zoom."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Thank you, Sam and Lily, for playing with your cars quietly. You are very good children. I love you." She gives them a hug and a kiss. Sam and Lily hug and kiss her back. They say, "We love you too, Mom. We are sorry for making noise. We will play with our cars quietly or go outside." They continue to play with their cars and have fun.
+Lily and Tom were very happy. Today was the day of the big parade. They put on their hats and coats and went outside with Mom and Dad. They walked to the park where the parade would start.
+
+"Look, Lily, look!" Tom said. "There are so many people and cars and animals and balloons!"
+
+Lily nodded. She saw a big red fire truck, a shiny police car, a fat horse, a funny clown, and a huge balloon of a dinosaur. She clapped her hands and smiled.
+
+Suddenly, the sky turned dark and gray. It started to rain. The rain was cold and wet. It poured on the parade.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "The parade will stop!"
+
+She felt sad. She wanted to see more of the parade. She hugged Mom and buried her face in her coat.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily," Mom said. "The parade will not stop. The people and cars and animals and balloons are brave. They will keep going. And we have umbrellas and raincoats. We will stay dry and warm."
+
+Mom opened her umbrella and gave it to Lily. Dad opened his umbrella and gave it to Tom. They held their umbrellas over their heads and watched the parade.
+
+Lily looked up. She saw the big red fire truck, the shiny police car, the fat horse, the funny clown, and the huge balloon of a dinosaur. They were still there. They were still moving. They were still smiling.
+
+The rain made them sparkle and shine. The rain made them look more beautiful.
+
+Lily smiled. She was not sad anymore. She was happy.
+
+She liked the parade. She liked the rain. She liked the pour.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to go to the shop with Mom. Mom gives them a coin each to buy a candy. Lily and Ben run to the candy shelf. They see many colors and shapes. They want to try them all.
+
+Lily picks a red candy. It is shiny and round. She thinks it is sweet and juicy. Ben picks a blue candy. It is hard and square. He thinks it is sour and crunchy. They are happy with their choices. They go to the counter to pay.
+
+But when they get there, they see a big man. He is angry and loud. He yells at the shop lady. He says he wants more money. He has a stick in his hand. He hits the counter with the stick. The shop lady is scared and sad. She gives him the money.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared too. They lean close to Mom. They hold their coins tight. They want to leave the shop. But the big man sees them. He sees their coins. He wants their coins too. He runs to them. He grabs their coins. He pushes them away.
+
+Lily and Ben fall to the floor. They drop their candies. They cry and scream. Mom tries to help them. But the big man hits Mom with the stick. Mom falls to the floor too. She bleeds and hurts. The big man laughs and runs away.
+
+Lily and Ben are alone. They are hurt and sad. They have no coins. They have no candies. They have no Mom. They have no hope. The end.
+Sam and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, but they liked some more than others. Sam liked the cars and the trains, and Lily liked the dolls and the animals. They usually shared their toys, but sometimes they wanted the same one.
+
+"Give me that car, Lily!" Sam said. "It's mine!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have many cars, I only have one!"
+
+They both pulled on the car, trying to separate it from each other. They were angry and loud.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the car and frowned.
+
+"Sam, Lily, stop that!" she said. "Why are you fighting over a toy? You have so many toys, you can play with any of them. You should be nice to each other and share."
+
+"But mom, it's mine!" they both said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She took the car from them and put it on a high shelf. "No, it's not yours. It's mine. And I'm not giving it to anyone until you learn to share. Now, you can play with something else, or you can go to your rooms."
+
+Sam and Lily looked at the car on the shelf. They felt sad and sorry. They didn't want to lose the car, or make mom angry. They looked at each other and whispered.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. I was mean to you."
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you too."
+
+They hugged and said they were friends. They decided to play with something else, and share their toys. They picked up a train and a doll, and made them talk to each other.
+
+"Hello, I'm a train. I can go fast and make noise."
+
+"Hello, I'm a doll. I can dress up and sing songs."
+
+They smiled and laughed. They were happy and quiet.
+
+Mom saw them and smiled too. She was proud of them. She took the car from the shelf and gave it to them.
+
+"Here, you can have the car. You are good children. You know how to share and be kind. I love you both."
+
+Sam and Lily thanked mom and hugged her. They took the car and played with it together. They were not angry or loud anymore. They were not frightened of losing the car or mom's love. They were happy and loved.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a brown dog with a long tail. The dog was wild and ran around the trees. Lily and Ben liked the dog and wanted to keep it.
+
+"Can we keep the dog, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you can't, sweetie. The dog is wild and does not belong to anyone. It might be sick or scared or bite you. We have to leave it alone," Mom said.
+
+"But we love the dog, Mom. We can give it food and water and a name. We can be its friends," Ben said.
+
+"I know, honey, but the dog is not a toy. It is a living thing that needs its own space and freedom. Maybe it has a family or a pack somewhere. We have to respect that," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to keep the dog. They tried to follow it, but the dog ran away. They could not catch it. They cried and hugged Mom.
+
+"Maybe we can find another dog someday. A dog that needs a home and a family. A dog that is not wild, but tame and friendly. Would you like that?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They wiped their tears and smiled. They still liked the brown dog, but they understood that it was not theirs to keep. They hoped the dog was happy and safe. They went back to playing in the park.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big barrel near the slide. They wanted to roll it and have fun.
+
+"Let's push it, Lily!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the barrel and tried to move it. But it was too heavy. They pushed and pushed, but it did not roll. They struggled a lot.
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted.
+
+A man heard them and came to see. He was wearing a hat and a coat. He looked at the barrel and smiled.
+
+"What are you doing, kids?" he asked.
+
+"We want to roll the barrel, but it is too hard," Lily said.
+
+The man laughed. He said, "This is not a barrel for rolling. This is a barrel for storing. It is full of apples. That's why it is so heavy."
+
+He lifted the lid and showed them the apples. They were red and shiny.
+
+"Wow!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+The man said, "Do you want some apples? You can have them if you help me carry the barrel to my truck."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were not fearful of the man. He was nice and friendly.
+
+They each took an apple and bit into it. It was sweet and juicy. They smiled and thanked the man.
+
+Then they helped him carry the barrel to his truck. It was easier with three people. They put the barrel in the back and waved goodbye.
+
+The man drove away, honking his horn. Lily and Ben went back to the slide. They were happy and full. They had a new friend and a new story to tell.
+Tom and Mia were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick it and catch it and roll it on the grass. The sun was bright and warm and the sky was blue.
+
+But then they saw some dark clouds in the sky. They looked big and scary and they made loud noises. Tom and Mia felt afraid. They heard their mom call them from the house. "Come inside, kids, there is a storm coming!"
+
+Tom and Mia ran to the house with their ball. They went inside and closed the door. They looked out the window and saw the wind blow the trees and the rain fall hard. They saw flashes of light and heard more loud noises. They hugged their mom and felt safe.
+
+After a while, the storm went away. The clouds became smaller and lighter and the noises became quieter. The sun came out again and the sky became blue again. Tom and Mia saw a rainbow in the sky. It had many colors and it looked pretty.
+
+"Can we go outside again, mom?" Tom and Mia asked.
+
+"Yes, you can, but be careful. The grass might be wet and slippery." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Mia put on their boots and jackets and went outside with their ball. They saw that the storm had changed some things. Some leaves and branches were on the ground. Some flowers and puddles were on the grass. But they also saw that some things were the same. The trees and the birds and the ball were still there.
+
+Tom and Mia smiled and played with their ball. They liked to kick it and catch it and roll it on the grass. They were happy that the storm was distant and the rainbow was near.
+Tom and Lily were going to camp with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They liked to sleep in a big tent and make fire and sing songs. They wanted to prepare for camp.
+
+Tom and Lily helped Mom and Dad pack their bags. They put in clothes, blankets, toys, books and snacks. They also put in a flashlight, a map, a compass and a whistle. Mom and Dad said these were important things for camp.
+
+Tom and Lily helped Mom and Dad load the car. They put the bags in the trunk and the tent on the roof. They also put their bikes on the back. Mom and Dad said they could ride their bikes at camp.
+
+Tom and Lily got in the car and buckled their seat belts. They waved goodbye to their house and their cat. They were ready to go to camp. They sang songs and played games on the way. They saw trees, hills, cows and birds.
+
+Tom and Lily arrived at camp with Mom and Dad. They found a nice spot to set up their tent. They helped Mom and Dad unfold the tent and hammer the stakes. They also helped Mom and Dad make fire and cook dinner. They ate hot dogs, beans and marshmallows. They were very yummy.
+
+Tom and Lily snuggled in their sleeping bags in the tent. They listened to Mom and Dad tell stories and jokes. They looked at the stars and the moon. They felt warm and cozy and safe. They were very happy. They said good night and fell asleep. They dreamed of camp.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a doll. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees Anna and Ben's toys. He wants to play with them. He takes the ball and kicks it hard. He takes the bike and rides it fast. He takes the doll and throws it on the ground.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They want their toys back. They run to the big boy and say, "Stop! Those are our toys! Give them back!"
+
+The big boy laughs and says, "No! These are my toys now! You can't have them! Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared and upset. They don't know what to do. They look for help. They see a lady on a bench. She is reading a book. She looks nice and kind.
+
+They go to the lady and say, "Excuse me, please. Can you help us? That big boy took our toys and won't give them back. He is mean and rude."
+
+The lady looks up and sees the big boy. She sees Anna and Ben's toys. She sees their sad faces. She feels sorry for them. She puts down her book and stands up.
+
+She goes to the big boy and says, "Hey, you! What are you doing? Those are not your toys! Those are Anna and Ben's toys! You have to give them back!"
+
+The big boy is surprised and scared. He sees the lady. He sees her angry face. He hears her loud voice. He drops the toys and runs away.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy and relieved. They get their toys back. They thank the lady and hug her. They say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are very nice and brave. You helped us a lot. You are our hero!"
+
+The lady smiles and hugs them back. She says, "You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome! You are very sweet and polite. You are my friends. I'm glad I could help you. You are very smart. You did the right thing. You asked for help. You didn't fight or cry. You didn't waste your time. You are very good."
+
+Anna and Ben are proud and happy. They play with their toys and with the lady. They have a lot of fun. They are the best of friends.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big log on the grass. They want to walk on the log.
+
+"Look, Anna, I can balance on the log!" Ben says. He puts one foot on the log and then the other. He walks slowly and carefully.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you are good!" Anna says. She wants to try too. She puts one foot on the log, but it is not easy. The log is round and wobbly. She feels scared.
+
+"Help me, Ben!" Anna says. She holds out her hand to Ben.
+
+Ben reaches out his hand to Anna. He tries to help her, but he loses his balance. He falls off the log with a loud noise. Anna falls off too.
+
+"Ouch!" Ben says. He rubs his knee. It hurts.
+
+"Sorry, Ben!" Anna says. She hugs him. She is sorry she made him fall.
+
+"It's okay, Anna. It was an accident." Ben says. He hugs her back. He is not mad at her.
+
+They get up and dust off their clothes. They see a swing nearby. They run to the swing. They think the swing is more fun and easy than the log. They laugh and swing high in the air. They are happy.
+Tim and Sam were going to the park with Mom. They were very happy and excited. They packed some snacks and drinks in a cooler. They put on their hats and shoes and got in the car.
+
+But on the way, they saw a lot of cars and trucks on the road. They were not moving fast. They were making a lot of noise. Mom said, "There is a delay. We have to wait for the traffic to clear." Tim and Sam did not like that. They wanted to get to the park soon. They felt restless.
+
+They started to whine and fuss. They said, "Mom, we are bored. We are hungry. We are thirsty. When will we get to the park?" Mom tried to calm them down. She said, "I know, boys. I'm sorry. But we have to be patient. We can't do anything about the delay. Why don't you look out the window and see what you can find? Maybe you can play a game or sing a song."
+
+Tim and Sam looked out the window. They saw some birds and trees and flowers. They saw some dogs and cats and squirrels. They saw some signs and shops and houses. They tried to count them or name them or make up stories about them. They also opened the cooler and took out some snacks and drinks. They shared them with Mom. They started to feel better.
+
+After a while, the traffic started to move again. Mom said, "Look, boys. We are almost there. I can see the park. It has a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. Are you ready to have some fun?" Tim and Sam cheered. They said, "Yes, Mom. We are ready. Thank you for taking us to the park. We love you." Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, boys. You did a good job of coping with the delay. Now let's go and enjoy the park." They parked the car and got out. They ran to the park and had a wonderful time.
+Lily liked to help her mom prepare for work. She would watch her mom put on her clothes, her shoes, and her perfume. Lily liked the smell of perfume. It was sweet and flowery.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to try perfume too. She saw a bottle on her mom's dresser. She climbed on a chair and reached for it. She opened the cap and sprayed some on her neck. But it was not perfume. It was hairspray. It was sticky and smelly.
+
+Lily felt bad. She wanted to wash it off. She ran to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. She splashed water on her neck. But the water was too hot. It made her skin red and sore.
+
+Lily cried. She wanted her mom. She heard her mom's voice in the bedroom. She ran to her mom and hugged her. Her mom saw the hairspray on her neck and the water on her clothes. She understood what happened. She was not angry. She was sorry.
+
+She took Lily to the shower and rinsed her neck with cool water. She dried her with a soft towel. She kissed her and said, "It's okay, sweetie. You don't need perfume. You smell good enough." She gave her a new shirt and a hug. Lily felt better. She smiled and said, "I love you, mom."
+Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Lily found a shiny bracelet in her mom's drawer. It was enormous and had many colors.
+
+"Look, Anna, what I have!" Lily said, showing the bracelet to Anna. "It is so pretty and big! Do you want to try it?"
+
+Anna nodded. She loved shiny things. She took the bracelet from Lily and put it on her wrist. It was too big for her and slid down to her hand.
+
+"Wow, it is so heavy!" Anna said, lifting her hand. "But it is so nice! Can I keep it, Lily?"
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, Anna, it is my mom's. She will be angry if she sees it is gone. You have to give it back to me."
+
+Anna pouted. She did not want to give it back. She liked the bracelet too much. She ran away from Lily, holding the bracelet.
+
+"Anna, come back!" Lily cried, chasing her. "Give me the bracelet!"
+
+Anna ran faster. She did not see the big rock in front of her. She tripped over the rock and fell down. The bracelet flew out of her hand and landed on the street. A big car came and ran over the bracelet. It made a loud noise and crushed the bracelet into pieces.
+
+Anna and Lily both screamed. They saw the bracelet was broken and ruined. They were both very sad and scared. Lily's mom heard the noise and came out of the house. She saw the bracelet on the street and her daughter and her friend crying.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked, looking at the mess. "Lily, is that my bracelet?"
+
+Lily nodded, sobbing. She told her mom what happened. Her mom was very angry and disappointed. She scolded Lily and Anna for taking the bracelet and breaking it. She told them they were not friends anymore and they had to go home. She took Lily inside the house and slammed the door.
+
+Anna ran to her house, crying. She felt sorry for what she did, but it was too late. She lost the bracelet and her best friend. She wished she had listened to Lily and given the bracelet back. She learned a hard lesson that day.
+Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. They had many cars and trucks, but they both loved the big steel truck the most. It was shiny and strong and dependable. It could carry many things and make loud noises.
+
+One day, Ben and Sam had a fight. Ben wanted to play with the steel truck, but Sam said it was his turn. They both pulled and pushed and shouted. The steel truck fell on the floor and broke. Ben and Sam were very sad and angry. They did not want to be friends anymore.
+
+Mom saw what happened and came to help. She picked up the steel truck and fixed it. She said, "I'm sorry your truck broke, but it's not nice to fight. You both need to share and take turns. You also need to say sorry and forgive each other. Friends don't stay mad for long."
+
+Ben and Sam looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry and hugged. They said they forgave each other. They thanked Mom for fixing the steel truck. They decided to play with it together and share. They were happy and friends again.

+
+"Come on, Lily, it is fun!" Tom says. He encourages Lily to try the slide. "You can do it!"
+
+Lily shakes her head. She does not want to go on the slide. She thinks it is too high and too fast. She holds Tom's hand.
+
+Tom is persistent. He does not give up. He tells Lily that he will go with her. He says they can hold hands all the way down. He says they will be brave together.
+
+Lily looks at Tom. She sees that he is smiling. She trusts him. She decides to give it a try. She nods her head.
+
+Tom and Lily climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide. They hold hands. They look at the green grass below. They count to three. They slide down.

+
+They practiced a lot. They knew the words and the tune. They were excited and happy. They wore nice clothes and waited for their turn.
+
+When it was time, they went on the stage. They saw their parents and smiled. They started to sing. But then, something bad happened. Ben forgot the words. He stopped singing. He looked at Lily. Lily tried to help him. She whispered the words in his ear. But Ben was too scared. He started to cry.
+
+The other kids laughed. The parents looked sad. Ben felt very embarrass. He ran off the stage. He hid behind a curtain. He wished he could disappear.
+
+Lily followed him. She found him and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. Everyone makes mistakes. You are still my friend. I like you."
+
+Ben sniffed. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I messed up the song."
+
+Lily said, "Don't be sorry. It was a hard song. Maybe we can practice more and try again another day."
+
+Ben nodded. He felt a little better. He and Lily went back to their seats. They watched the rest of the show. They clapped for the other kids. They still had fun. They learned a lesson. They were not perfect, but they were brave. And they had each other.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big, hairy dog. The dog is black and brown. It has long teeth and a loud bark.
+
+"Wow, look at that dog!" Tim says. "It is so big and hairy. Do you want to pet it?"
+
+Mia shakes her head. She is scared of the dog. She hides behind Tim. She trembles. She says, "No, no, no. I don't like that dog. It is too big and hairy. It might bite us."
+
+Tim is not scared of the dog. He likes dogs. He thinks the dog is friendly. He says, "Don't be afraid, Mia. The dog is nice. It just wants to play. Come on, let's go and say hello."
+
+Tim walks towards the dog. He smiles and holds out his hand. He says, "Hi, dog. What is your name? Can I pet you?"

+Lily and Sam were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a pink car and Sam had a blue car. They pretended they were going to the park.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Sam said, and pushed his car forward.
+
+"Me too!" Lily said, and followed him.
+
+But then, Lily saw something shiny on the floor. It was a bracelet. It had many colors and beads. It was Mommy's bracelet. Lily loved Mommy's bracelet. She stopped her car and picked it up.
+
+"Look, Sam, look!" Lily said, holding the bracelet. "It's so pretty!"
+
+Sam turned his car around and came back to see. He liked the bracelet too. He wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can I see?" Sam asked.
+
+"Okay, but be careful," Lily said, and gave him the bracelet.
+
+Sam took the bracelet and put it on his wrist. He felt very fancy. He waved his hand and made the beads sparkle.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Sam said.
+
+But then, they heard Mommy's voice. She was coming back from the kitchen.
+
+"Kids, what are you doing?" Mommy asked.
+
+Lily and Sam looked at each other. They knew they were not supposed to play with Mommy's things. They felt scared.
+
+"Quick, Sam, give it back!" Lily said.
+
+Sam tried to take off the bracelet, but it was too tight. He pulled and pulled, but it did not come off.
+
+"It's stuck!" Sam said.
+
+Mommy came into the living room and saw them. She saw the bracelet on Sam's wrist. She was not happy.
+
+"Sam, Lily, what have you done?" Mommy asked. "That's my bracelet. You know you can't touch it. It's very special to me."
+
+Lily and Sam felt sorry. They did not want to make Mommy sad. They wanted to say sorry, but they did not know how.
+
+"Mommy, we're sorry," Lily said.
+
+"Mommy, we're sorry," Sam said.
+
+Mommy sighed. She was not angry, but she was worried. She did not want the bracelet to break or hurt Sam.
+
+"Come here, Sam. Let me help you," Mommy said.
+
+She took Sam's hand and looked at the bracelet. She saw a small clasp on the side. She pressed it and the bracelet opened.
+
+"There, it's off," Mommy said, and took the bracelet.
+
+She put it back on her wrist and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy," Sam said.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy," Lily said.
+
+Mommy hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"It's okay, kids. I know you were curious. But you have to ask me before you touch my things, okay?" Mommy said.
+
+"Okay, Mommy," Lily and Sam said.
+
+Mommy smiled again.
+
+"Now, why don't you go back to your cars and play? But be careful, and don't reverse into the sofa, okay?" Mommy said.
+
+"Okay, Mommy," Lily and Sam said.
+
+They took their cars and went back to the floor. They were happy to play again. They were careful not to reverse into the sofa. They were also careful not to touch Mommy's bracelet again. They learned their lesson.
+Sara and Ben were hungry. They wanted a snack. Mom said they could pick something from the fridge.
+
+"What do you want, Sara?" Ben asked.
+
+"I want celery," Sara said. "Celery is crunchy and green. I like celery."
+
+"OK, I want celery too," Ben said. "But I also want peanut butter. Peanut butter is sticky and yummy. I like peanut butter."
+
+They opened the fridge and saw a big bunch of celery. They picked two stalks each and washed them in the sink. Then they got a jar of peanut butter and a knife.
+
+"Be careful with the knife, Ben," Mom said. "Don't cut yourself."
+
+"I know, Mom," Ben said. "I'm a big boy. I can spread peanut butter on my celery."
+
+He spread some peanut butter on his celery and gave one to Sara. She took a big bite and smiled.

+
+"Can we go with the truck, Mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, my loves, the city is too far and too busy for you. You have to stay here, where it is safe and quiet," Mom said.
+
+"But we want to see the big buildings and the people and the cars," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe when you are older, you can visit the city. But for now, you can use your imagination and pretend you are there," Mom said. She gave them a big hug and a kiss.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They went to their room and got their toys. They made a city with their blocks and cars and dolls. They pretended they were driving the truck and honking the horn. They had fun and laughed a lot.

+
+One day, Lily and her mom baked a big cake for a party. It was a clown cake, with a red nose, blue eyes, and colorful hair. Lily helped her mom put the cake in a box and carry it to the car. They drove to the park, where the party was.
+
+At the park, Lily saw many kids playing and laughing. She also saw a real clown, who made funny jokes and balloon animals. Lily wanted to see the clown, but her mom told her to stay with the cake.

+
+Lily nodded, but she was curious. She peeked out of the car window and watched the clown. He was so funny and silly. Lily wanted to join the fun. She thought her mom wouldn't mind if she left the cake for a little while. She opened the car door and ran to the clown.
+
+But Lily didn't see the big dog that was chasing a ball. The dog bumped into Lily and made her fall. The dog also saw the cake in the car and jumped inside. He ate the cake with his big mouth and made a big mess. Lily cried and the dog ran away.

+
+Lily sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the clown. He was so funny and silly. I didn't mean to lose the cake."
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, I know you like the clown, but you have to listen to me. The cake was delicate, and you had to take care of it. It was a gift for someone else, not for you. You have to be responsible and respectful of other people's things. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But we have to apologize to the birthday boy and his family. Maybe we can make another cake for them later. Come on, let's go to the party and have some fun."
+
+Lily and her mom went to the party and said sorry to the birthday boy and his family. They were nice and said they didn't mind. They still had ice cream and candy. The clown also came and made Lily a balloon cake. Lily thanked the clown and gave him a hug. She learned her lesson and had a good time.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They always ran to get it back.
+
+One time, the ball rolled very far and went behind a big tree. Lily and Ben ran to get it, but they saw a stranger there. The stranger was an old man with a long beard and a big hat. He was holding their ball.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the stranger said. "Do you want your ball back?"
+
+Lily and Ben felt scared. They did not know the stranger. They wanted to run away, but they also wanted their ball.
+
+The stranger smiled and said, "If you want your ball, you have to come closer. I have something to show you. It is very nice and shiny. You will like it."
+
+Lily and Ben felt a strong urge to see what the stranger had. They liked nice and shiny things. They took a step closer to the stranger.
+
+But then they heard a loud voice. It was their mom. She had seen them from the bench. She ran to them and said, "Lily! Ben! Stay away from the stranger! He is not a good man. He wants to take you away. Come to me, now!"
+
+Lily and Ben ran to their mom and hugged her. They were happy to see her. They did not want to go with the stranger. They were sorry they had listened to him.
+
+Their mom took their ball from the stranger and said, "Go away, you bad man! Leave my children alone. I will call the police if you bother us again."
+
+The stranger looked angry and scared. He ran away from the park. He did not have anything nice and shiny to show. He had lied to Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They never talked to strangers again. They only played with their ball and their mom. They were safe and happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily was a lion and Ben was a monkey. They roared and chattered and jumped around.
+
+But their mom was in the kitchen, trying to make a cake. She was not happy with the noise. She had a bad memory of a cake that burned when she was a little girl. She did not want to disturb her cake now. She wanted it to be perfect for dad's birthday.
+
+She came to the living room and said, "Lily and Ben, you are too loud. You need to be quiet or go to your room. You are disturbing me and the cake."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to make mom angry. They did not want to ruin dad's birthday. But they also did not want to stop playing. They liked their toys and their game.
+
+They decided to go to their room. They picked up their toys and walked to the stairs. But on the way, they saw a big box in the hall. It had a bow and a tag that said, "For dad, from mom." They wondered what was inside. They were curious.
+
+They put down their toys and went to the box. They lifted the lid and peeked inside. They saw a shiny bike. It was red and black and had a horn and a basket. It was the best bike ever. It looked fit for dad.
+
+They gasped and smiled. They wanted to try the bike. They wanted to ride it and honk the horn and put their toys in the basket. They forgot about mom and the cake. They forgot about being quiet. They pulled the bike out of the box and ran to the door.
+
+They opened the door and went outside. They took turns riding the bike on the sidewalk. They laughed and shouted and honked the horn. They had a lot of fun with the bike.
+
+But mom heard them from the kitchen. She smelled the cake burning. She ran to the oven and took out the cake. It was black and hard and smelled bad. She was sad and angry. She had a bad memory of a cake that burned when she was a little girl. She had a bad memory of a bike that was ruined when she was a little girl.
+
+She ran to the door and saw Lily and Ben on the bike. She yelled, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You are disturbing me and the cake. You are disturbing dad and his bike. That bike is not for you. That bike is for dad. It is his birthday present. You are not fit to ride it. You are naughty. Go to your room. Now!"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped riding the bike. They looked at mom. They looked at the bike. They looked at each other. They were scared and sorry. They did not know the bike was for dad. They did not know the cake was burning. They did not mean to disturb mom and dad. They did not mean to be naughty.
+
+They got off the bike and pushed it back to the box. They picked up their toys and ran to their room. They cried and hugged each other. They had a bad memory of a bike that was not for them.

They wished they could be fit to play.

+Lily said, "I think that's a great idea. Let's go and design a new coat for Anna. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my little designer."
+Ben and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Ben has a car and Mia has a doll. They are having fun and making noises.

+Suddenly, Ben sees Mia's doll and wants it. He grabs it from her and runs away. Mia cries and chases him.
+
+"Give me back my doll!" Mia shouts. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine now!" Ben says. "It is a nice doll!"
+
+They run around the living room, pulling and pushing the doll. The doll's arm breaks and falls off. Mia and Ben stop and look at the doll. They feel sad and sorry.
+
+"Oh no, we broke the doll!" Mia says. "Her arm is gone!"
+
+Ben feels bad. He gives the doll back to Mia and says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was mean. I should not have taken your doll."
+
+Mia takes the doll and hugs it. She sees the broken arm and rubs it gently. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But the doll's arm must hurt. We need to fix it."
+
+They go to their mom and show her the doll. Mom sees the broken arm and says, "Oh dear, what happened to the doll?"
+
+Mia and Ben tell her what they did. Mom says, "I'm glad you are sorry and you are friends again. But you should not fight over toys. You need to share and be kind. Can you do that?"
+
+Mia and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom. We can do that."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Good. Now let's see if we can fix the doll's arm. We need some glue and some tape. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."
+
+Mia and Ben follow mom to the kitchen. They help her glue and tape the doll's arm. They wait for it to dry. Then they hug the doll and say, "We love you, doll. We are sorry we hurt you. We will take good care of you."
+
+The doll smiles and says, "I love you too, Mia and Ben. Thank you for fixing me. You are good children."
+
+The end.
+Ben and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a club. The club is a big stick. They use the club to hit things. They think it is fun.
+
+One day, they see a green ball. The ball is on the grass. Ben and Tom want the ball. They run to the ball. They both grab the ball. They pull the ball. They yell at each other.
+
+"Mine!" Ben says.
+
+"No, mine!" Tom says.
+
+They do not share. They are angry. They let go of the ball. They pick up the club. They swing the club at each other. They want to hurt each other.
+
+The club is heavy. The club is hard. The club is dangerous. Ben hits Tom on the head. Tom falls down. Tom does not move. Tom does not talk. Tom does not breathe.
+
+Ben is scared. He drops the club. He kneels next to Tom. He shakes Tom. He cries. He calls for help. But no one comes. Ben is alone. Ben is sad. Ben is sorry.
+Ben likes to play with his jet. It is red and shiny and makes a loud noise. He pretends to fly it in the air and zoom around the room. He likes to make his jet do tricks and flips.
+
+One day, Ben's mom says they have to go to the store. She tells Ben to put his jet away and get his coat. Ben does not want to go. He wants to play with his jet more. He thinks of a plan. He runs to his room and locks the door. He hides his jet under his bed.
+
+Ben's mom knocks on the door. She says, "Ben, open the door. We have to go now." Ben does not answer. He thinks his mom will go away. He plays with his jet quietly. He makes it fly over his pillow and under his blanket.
+
+But Ben's mom does not go away. She gets worried. She calls Ben's dad. He comes home from work. He has a key to Ben's room. He unlocks the door and opens it. He sees Ben on the floor with his jet.
+
+Ben's dad is angry. He says, "Ben, why did you lock the door? You scared your mom and me. You have to listen to us. We love you and we want you to be safe." He takes Ben's jet and puts it on the shelf. He says, "You can't play with your jet for a week. It is dead. You have to learn your lesson."
+
+Ben is sad. He cries. He says, "I'm sorry, dad. I love my jet. I just wanted to play." He hugs his dad and says, "I love you too. I won't lock the door again." He gets his coat and goes to the store with his mom and dad. He hopes his jet will come alive again soon.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many branches. Sara wants to climb the tree, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's climb the tree!" Sara says. "It will be fun!"
+
+"No, Sara, it is too high and wild. We might fall and hurt ourselves." Ben says. "Let's play with the ball instead."
+
+Sara is not happy. She likes to climb and explore. She thinks Ben is boring. She requests to climb the tree by herself.
+
+"Please, Ben, let me climb the tree. You can watch me from here. I will be careful." Sara says.
+
+Ben is not sure. He does not want Sara to get hurt, but he also does not want to make her sad. He thinks for a moment.
+
+"Okay, Sara, you can climb the tree, but only a little bit. And you have to come down when I say so." Ben says.
+
+Sara is happy. She thanks Ben and runs to the tree. She finds a low branch and starts to climb. She feels brave and wild. She sees the birds and the sky. She smiles and waves to Ben.
+
+Ben watches Sara from the ground. He feels a little bit proud and a little bit worried. He hopes Sara will be safe and listen to him. He holds the ball and waits.
+Tom likes to play catch with his dad. They go to the park and throw a ball to each other. Tom tries to catch the ball with his hands, but sometimes he misses and the ball falls on the grass. His dad says, "It's okay, Tom. You are doing great. Try again."
+
+One day, they see a big book on a bench. It has many pages and words. Tom is curious and asks his dad, "What is that book, dad?" His dad says, "That is a dictionary, Tom. It has many words and their meanings. You can learn new words from it."
+
+Tom wants to learn new words. He picks up the dictionary and opens it. He sees a word that he likes. It is orange. He points to it and says, "Orange, dad. I like orange. It is a color and a fruit." His dad smiles and says, "Yes, Tom. You are right. Orange is a color and a fruit. It is a very nice word. Can you say another word that is orange?"
+
+Tom thinks hard. He remembers his toy car that is orange. He says, "Car, dad. My car is orange. I like my car." His dad says, "Good job, Tom. You are very smart. You know two words that are orange. Can you catch the ball and say another word that is orange?"
+
+Tom nods and puts the dictionary back on the bench. He runs to his dad and catches the ball. He says, "Sun, dad. The sun is orange. It is bright and warm. I like the sun." His dad says, "Wow, Tom. You are amazing. You know three words that are orange. You are a great catcher and a great learner. I am very proud of you." They hug and keep playing catch.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making up stories with their dolls and cars. They liked to be original and pretend that their toys could do anything they wanted.
+
+Soon, it was time for tea. Mum called them from the kitchen and told them to wash their hands and come to the table. Lily and Ben did not want to stop playing. They wanted to finish their story. They decided to delay their tea and hide behind the sofa.
+
+Mum looked for them in the living room. She could not see them. She called their names again and again. She started to get worried. Where were they? She looked under the table, behind the curtains, in the closet. She could not find them.
+
+Lily and Ben heard Mum looking for them. They giggled quietly behind the sofa. They thought they were very clever and funny. They did not know that Mum was getting angry and sad.
+
+Mum was about to give up and call Dad for help. She was very upset. She thought that Lily and Ben had run away or got lost. She sat on the sofa and cried. She did not see the two little heads poking out from behind the sofa.
+
+Lily and Ben saw Mum crying. They felt bad. They did not mean to make Mum cry. They only wanted to play a little longer. They realized that they had been naughty and rude. They came out from behind the sofa and hugged Mum. They said they were sorry and that they loved her.
+
+Mum was surprised and relieved. She hugged them back and said she loved them too. She said they should not delay their tea and hide from her. She said it was not nice or original. She said it was scary and mean. She said they should always listen to her and come when she called.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said they understood. They said they would not do it again. They said they were hungry and wanted their tea. Mum smiled and wiped her tears. She took them to the kitchen and gave them their tea. They ate and talked and laughed. They were happy and sorry. They learned their lesson.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a goat in the field near their house. The goat was white and had horns and a beard. Tom and Lily wanted to pet the goat, so they ran to the field.
+
+"Hello, goat!" Tom said. "Can we touch you?"
+
+The goat looked at Tom and Lily and said, "Baa!"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You are a nice goat. What is your name?"
+
+The goat said, "Baa! My name is Max. I am a wise goat. I know many things."
+
+Tom and Lily were curious. They asked, "What do you know, Max?"
+
+Max said, "Baa! I know how to find food and water. I know how to stay away from danger. I know how to dry my fur when it rains."
+
+Tom and Lily were impressed. They said, "Wow, Max, you are very smart. How do you dry your fur when it rains?"
+
+Max said, "Baa! I shake my body like this." He shook his body and made his fur fluff up. "Then I find a sunny spot and lie down like this." He lay down on the grass and closed his eyes. "Then I wait until I feel warm and dry."
+
+Tom and Lily thought that was a good idea. They said, "Can we try, Max?"
+
+Max said, "Baa! Sure, you can try. But be careful, there might be other animals in the field."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They shook their bodies and lay down next to Max. They felt the sun on their skin and the grass under their backs. They felt happy and sleepy.
+
+They said, "Thank you, Max. You are a wise and kind goat."
+
+Max said, "Baa! You are welcome, Tom and Lily. You are brave and friendly children."
+
+They closed their eyes and took a nap together. They dreamed of more adventures with Max the goat.
+Lily was a cat with a long, fluffy tail. She liked to play with her tail and chase it around the house. One day, she saw a mouse in the kitchen. She wanted to catch the mouse and make it her toy.
+
+She ran after the mouse, but the mouse was fast and smart. It ran under the table, behind the chair, and into a hole in the wall. Lily tried to follow it, but her tail got stuck in the hole. She pulled and pulled, but her tail would not come out.
+
+"Help, help!" she cried. "My tail is in the hole and I can't get it out!"
+
+Her friend, Ben, was a dog with a short, waggy tail. He heard Lily's cry and came to the kitchen. He saw Lily's tail in the hole and felt sorry for her.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily," he said. "I will help you get your tail out. You have to part your tail from the hole. That means you have to let go of your tail and let it slide out."
+
+"But I don't want to part my tail," Lily said. "I love my tail. It is soft and pretty and fun to play with."
+
+"I know, Lily, but you have to part your tail for a little bit. It will not hurt and you will get it back soon. Trust me, I am your friend."
+
+Lily was scared, but she trusted Ben. She closed her eyes and let go of her tail. Ben gently pulled her tail out of the hole. Lily felt a tickle and then a relief. She opened her eyes and saw her tail in Ben's mouth.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You are a good friend. You saved my tail."
+
+Ben smiled and gave her tail back to her. He licked her face and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too. You have a sweet tail. Can I play with it?"
+
+Lily laughed and said, "Yes, you can play with it. But be careful, it is very ticklish."
+
+They played with Lily's tail and had a lot of fun. They forgot about the mouse and the hole. They were happy and they were friends.

Do not touch it." Sam says, "I want to touch it. It looks fun. You are scared." Tim says, "I am not scared. You are silly. Leave it alone."
+
+Sam does not listen to Tim. He runs to the cactus and tries to grab it. He screams. The cactus hurts his hand. He has many red dots on his hand. He cries. Tim runs to Sam and says, "I told you not to touch it. You are hurt. Come, I will help you." Tim takes Sam to the house. He tells Mom what happened. Mom says, "Oh, Sam. You should listen to Tim. He knows about cactuses. They are not for playing. They are for looking. I will remove the dots from your hand. It will sting a little, but it will be better soon."
+
+Mom gets a tweezers and some water. She removes the dots from Sam's hand. She washes his hand and puts a band-aid on it. She hugs Sam and says, "You are brave. You will be okay. Next time, be careful with cactuses. They are not your friends." Sam says, "I am sorry, Mom. I am sorry, Tim. I learned my lesson. I will not touch cactuses again. Thank you for helping me." Tim says, "You are welcome, Sam. I am glad you are okay. I love you, brother." Mom says, "I love you both. Now, let's have some cookies and milk." They go to the kitchen and have a snack. They are happy. The end.

+Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They wanted to build a big tower, but they had different ideas. Lily liked to make the tower very tall and thin. Ben liked to make the tower very wide and strong.
+
+"Look, my tower is higher than yours!" Lily said, putting another block on top.
+
+"But my tower is stronger than yours!" Ben said, pushing his tower gently. "It does not fall down."

+
+They decided to say sorry and make up. They hugged and said, "I'm sorry, I love you."
+
+Then, they had an idea. They used the handle and the wheels to make a new toy. They attached the handle to one of the wheels and made a spinning top. They attached the other wheels to some of the blocks and made a car. They used the red body of the truck as a roof for their towers.
+
+They played with their new toys and had fun. They finished their towers and made them look nice. They were happy and proud.
+
+They learned that it is better to share and cooperate than to fight and break things. They also learned that they can use their imagination and creativity to make new things out of old things. They had a good day.
+Lily was sick. She had a red nose and a sore throat. She did not want to play or read or draw. She only wanted to lie in her bed and cuddle her teddy bear.

+
+One day, they made a big salad for lunch. It had lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cheese and dressing. It looked yummy and colorful. They put some salad on Lily's plate and told her to eat it. But Lily refused. She said she only wanted candy. She pushed her plate away and crossed her arms.
+
+Her mom and dad were sad and angry. They said she had to eat her salad or she would not get any dessert. They said salad was good for her and candy was bad. They said if she ate her salad, she would have more energy and fun. But Lily still refused. She said she did not care. She said she hated salad and loved candy.
+
+Her mom and dad did not know what to do. They decided to let her have her way. They took away her plate and gave her a big bowl of candy. They said they hoped she would change her mind someday. They ate their salad and left her alone.
+
+Lily was happy. She ate all the candy and watched TV. She smiled and laughed. She thought she was smart and lucky. But she did not notice something. She did not notice that her teeth were getting dirty and sore. She did not notice that her tummy was getting sick and bloated. She did not notice that her skin was getting pale and dry.

+
+The next day, Lily woke up feeling awful. She had a fever and a headache. She had a toothache and a stomachache. She had a rash and a cough. She could not get out of bed.

+
+The cat had an idea. She said to the dog, "You can stand on your back legs and reach the jug. I can sit on your head and pull the bow. Then the water will come out and we can drink it."
+
+The dog agreed. He stood on his back legs and tried to balance. The cat jumped on his head and grabbed the bow. She pulled hard, but the jug did not move. The cat pulled harder, but the jug still did not move. The cat pulled even harder, but the jug was too heavy.
+
+The jug tipped over and fell on the cat and the dog. The water splashed everywhere and soaked them. The bow flew off and landed on the grass. The cat and the dog were wet and cold. They ran away from the jug and hid under a tree.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "That was a bad idea. Next time, we will ask for help." They shook their fur and cuddled together. They learned a lesson and never played with the jug again.

+
+The squirrel saw Sara and Ben. It was curious and friendly. It came closer to the window. It saw the boxes and the things inside. It wanted to help Sara and Ben unpack.

+
+They put too much baking soda and vinegar. The volcano started to bubble and fizz. Then it made a loud noise. The volcano broke. Pieces of plastic flew everywhere. Some pieces hit Lila and Tom. They hurt a lot. They cried and screamed.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise. They ran to the playroom. They saw the broken volcano and the mess. They saw Lila and Tom with cuts and bruises. They were angry and worried. They scolded Lila and Tom for being careless. They took them to the doctor. The doctor gave them bandages and medicine.

+
+One day, Lily saw a big white swan with a long neck and a black beak. It looked very pretty in the sun. The sun made its feathers shine. Lily wanted to touch it. She walked closer to the pond and reached out her hand.
+
+But the swan did not like that. It hissed and snapped at Lily. It bit her finger. Lily cried out loud. It hurt a lot. Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She put a band-aid on her finger.
+
+"Lily, you have to be gentle with the swans. They are wild animals. They can be scared or angry if you get too close. You have to respect them and keep a safe distance." Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She was sorry. She learned her lesson. She said sorry to the swan too. The swan swam away. Lily and her mom went to the playground. Lily played on the slide and the swing. She had fun. She forgot about her finger. She was happy.
+Ben was a poor boy who lived with his mom and dad in a small house. He liked cheese very much, but they did not have much money to buy it. Sometimes, his mom would give him a little piece of cheese as a treat, and he would smile and say thank you.
+
+One day, his mom told him that she had a surprise for him. She said that she had saved some money and bought a big block of cheese for him. Ben was so happy that he jumped and clapped his hands. He wanted to eat the cheese right away, but his mom said that he had to wait until dinner.
+
+Ben waited and waited, but he could not stop thinking about the cheese. He wanted to see it and touch it and smell it. He decided to sneak into the kitchen and take a peek. He opened the fridge and saw the cheese wrapped in paper. He reached for it, but it was too high for him. He looked around and saw a chair. He dragged the chair to the fridge and climbed on it. He was about to grab the cheese when he heard his mom's voice.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing?" his mom asked, coming into the kitchen. She saw Ben standing on the chair, holding the cheese. She was angry and scared. She thought that Ben could fall and hurt himself, or that he could spoil his appetite. She took the cheese from him and put it back in the fridge. She told him to get down from the chair and go to his room. She said that he was naughty and that he would not get any cheese for dinner.
+
+Ben felt sad and sorry. He did not mean to be naughty. He just wanted to see the cheese. He went to his room and cried. He wished that he had listened to his mom and waited for dinner.
+
+Later, his mom came to his room and knocked on the door. She opened it and saw Ben lying on his bed, with tears on his face. She felt sorry for him too. She knew that he loved cheese and that he was excited about the surprise. She also knew that he was a good boy who made a mistake. She hugged him and said that she was sorry for yelling at him. She said that she still loved him and that he could have some cheese for dinner.
+
+Ben smiled and hugged her back. He said that he was sorry for sneaking into the kitchen and taking the cheese. He said that he still loved her and that he would wait for dinner.

+
+Sam got angry. He tried to make them listen. He shouted and stomped. He pulled Mia's hair and kicked Tom's leg. He said, "You have to play with me. I'm the king. You're the servants."
+
+Tom and Mia did not like that either. They did not want to be servants. They wanted to be heroes. They had an idea. They used their swords to cut a hole in the box. They crawled inside and closed the hole. They said, "We're not your servants. We're in our secret hideout. You can't find us."
+
+Sam was confused. He could not see them. He could not hear them. He could not reach them. He felt lonely and sad. He said, "Please, can I play with you? I'm sorry I was mean. I just wanted to have fun."
+
+Tom and Mia heard him. They felt sorry for him too. They opened the hole and peeked out. They said, "Okay, you can play with us. But you have to be nice. And you can't be the king. You can be the prince."
+

+
+Ben wanted to be a monkey. He found a banana and peeled it. He said, "Look, I have a snack. I am a hungry monkey. Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!"
+
+They ran around the garden, making noises and having fun. They saw a big tree and decided to climb it. Lila went first. She used the vine to swing from one branch to another. She said, "I am a strong lion. I can jump high. Roar!"

+Tom and Sue were playing in the yard. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They wanted to make a fountain with the water. They put the bucket on a stool and poked a hole in the bottom. Water came out of the hole, but it was not very high.
+
+Sue said, "We need more water. Let's go to the faucet and fill the bucket again." Tom agreed. They took the bucket and ran to the faucet. They turned the faucet on and water came out. They put the bucket under the faucet and waited for it to fill up.
+
+But then they heard a loud roar. It was Rex, the mighty dog from next door. Rex did not like Tom and Sue. He wanted to chase them and bark at them. He saw them at the faucet and ran towards them. Tom and Sue were scared. They dropped the bucket and ran away. Water spilled everywhere.
+
+Rex reached the faucet and saw the water. He was thirsty. He opened his mouth and drank the water. He drank and drank until the faucet was empty. He was happy. He wagged his tail and licked his lips.

+
+But then, the ball stops making noises. It becomes quiet and dark. Lily and Ben are sad. They try to make the ball work again, but they can't.
+

+
+They ran to the pile and grabbed some clothes. They rubbed them on their faces and arms.
+
+"Ouch!" Ben cried. "This is rough. It hurts my skin."
+
+He dropped a shirt and picked up a sock. He tried to put it on his hand like a puppet.
+
+"This is rough too," he said. "And it smells bad."
+
+Sara nodded. She held a dress and a skirt. She tried to wrap them around her like a cape.
+
+"These are rough and heavy," she said. "And they are too big for me."
+
+They threw the clothes back on the pile. They looked at each other and frowned.
+
+"This is not fun," Sara said. "This is boring."
+
+They heard Mama calling them from the house.
+
+"Kids, come inside. It's time for a snack."

+
+Her mom and dad hugged her and told her not to be afraid. They said it was not a monster, but a dolphin. They said dolphins were friendly and smart animals that lived in the ocean. They said dolphins were unique, like Lila.
+
+Lila stopped crying and looked at the dolphin again. She saw that it had a smile on its face and a shiny skin. She saw that it was playing with other dolphins and making funny sounds. She felt curious and brave. She asked her mom and dad if she could go closer and say hello.
+
+They said yes, but to be careful and stay with them. They walked to the water and waved at the dolphin. The dolphin waved back and came closer. Lila reached out her hand and touched its nose. It felt smooth and wet. The dolphin made a happy noise and gave Lila a kiss.

+
+Their mom came to the living room and saw them crying. She hugged them and asked them what happened. They told her that their toys were gone.
+
+"Don't worry, sweeties," she said. "I know where they are. Come with me."

+
+Anna and Tom tell Mom their stories. Mom listens and shakes her head. She says, "Anna, I understand you like the hat, but it is not yours. It is mine. I wear it for special occasions, not for driving. You can borrow it sometimes, but you have to ask me first. And you have to be careful with it. It is not a toy."
+
+She says, "Tom, I understand you think the hat is funny, but you should not laugh at Anna. You should not make fun of her choices. You should be kind and respectful. You can have your own opinion, but you have to say it nicely. And you have to let Anna have her own opinion too."

+Mia likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She does not need help from Mom or Dad. She can dress herself, brush her teeth, and eat her breakfast.
+
+One day, Mia wants to ride her bike. She puts on her helmet and gloves. She does not want to use her training wheels. She says she is big enough to ride without them. Mom and Dad say it is not safe. They say she might fall and hurt herself. But Mia does not listen. She is independent.
+
+She rides her bike on the sidewalk. She goes fast and feels happy. She sees a big hill. She wants to go down the hill. She thinks it will be fun. She does not see the rock on the road. She hits the rock and loses balance. She falls off her bike and lands on the ground.

+
+They put on their life jackets and climbed into the boat. They waved to their mom, who was watching them from the shore. They felt proud and happy. They started the engine and moved the boat away from the dock. They saw other boats and people in the harbor. They smiled and shouted hello.

+They started to go up the hill, but it was hard. The pebbles were slippery and sharp. Lila and Tom had to hold on to each other and to the grass. They were almost at the top when they heard a loud bark.
+
+They looked down and saw an old dog. The dog was angry and scary. It had big teeth and a long tail. It was running towards them, barking and growling. Lila and Tom were afraid. They wanted to go back down the hill, but they could not. The dog was too fast and the pebbles were too loose.
+
+They did not know what to do. They hugged each other and closed their eyes. They hoped the dog would stop and go away. They heard the dog come closer and closer. They felt its breath on their faces. They waited for the bite.
+
+But then they heard another sound. It was a whistle. A man was calling the dog. The dog stopped barking and turned around. It ran back to the man, wagging its tail. The man said sorry to Lila and Tom. He said the dog was old and did not like strangers. He said the dog was not bad, just scared.

+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big vine hanging from a tree. Lily wanted to swing on the vine like a monkey. She said to Tom, "I recommend you try this. It is fun!"
+
+Tom was scared of the vine. He said, "No, thank you. I do not like the vine. It is too high and too slippery. I like to play with the ball." He threw the ball to Lily, but she did not catch it. She was busy with the vine.
+
+Lily swung on the vine and laughed. She felt happy and free. She said to Tom, "Come on, do not be afraid. The vine is not scary. It is friendly. It will not hurt you."
+
+Tom shook his head. He said, "No, I do not want to. I am happy with the ball." He kicked the ball to Lily, but she did not kick it back. She was busy with the vine.
+

+Tom sighed. He said, "Fine, I will try it. But only once." He walked to the vine and grabbed it. He felt nervous and shaky. He said, "Are you sure this is safe?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, trust me. It is safe. Just swing and enjoy!"
+
+Tom swung on the vine and screamed. He felt miserable and dizzy. He said, "Help! I do not like this. It is not fun. It is awful!"
+
+Lily said, "Do not worry. I will help you. Just let go of the vine and I will catch you."
+
+Tom let go of the vine and Lily caught him. He felt relieved and grateful. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. But I do not recommend the vine. It is not for me. I prefer the ball."
+
+Lily said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. But I still like the vine. It is for me. I prefer the swing."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They agreed to disagree. They played with the ball and the vine. They had fun.
+Tom liked to tie his shoes by himself. He learned how to make a loop and a knot from his mom. He was proud of his skill and wanted to show it to his friends at school. Every morning, he picked a pair of colorful socks and shoes to match his clothes. He thought they made him look cool and happy.
+
+One morning, he chose his favorite socks and shoes. They were blue and yellow, like the sun and the sky. He put them on and tied them very tight. He smiled and ran to the kitchen for breakfast. He did not see the loose string on his shoe.
+
+On his way to school, he met his friend Lily. She had pink and purple socks and shoes. She liked Tom's socks and shoes too. She said they were pretty and bright. Tom thanked her and said he tied them by himself. He felt proud and happy.
+
+They walked together to school, talking and laughing. They did not see the big rock on the sidewalk. Tom tripped over the rock and fell down. He scraped his knee and elbow. He cried and felt pain and sad. He looked at his shoe and saw the loose string. It had caught on the rock and made him fall. He wished he had tied it better.
+
+Lily helped him get up and hugged him. She said it was okay and he would be fine. She took him to the nurse, who cleaned his wounds and put on band-aids. She gave him a sticker and a candy. She said he was brave and good. He felt better and thanked her.
+
+He learned a lesson that day. He still liked to tie his shoes by himself, but he checked them twice before he left. He also looked where he was going and avoided rocks. He still wore colorful socks and shoes, but he made sure they were safe and snug. He was still proud and happy, but also careful and smart.

+
+Mommy was very angry. She took away all of Lily's toys and food, and put them in a big bag. She said Lily had to clean her crib by herself, or she would not get them back. She left the room and closed the door.
+
+Lily was very sad and scared. She did not know how to clean her crib. She had no toys or food to make her happy. She felt alone and cold. She wished she had listened to her mommy and cleaned her crib. She tried to call her mommy, but she did not answer. She cried and cried, until she fell asleep in her dirty crib.

+
+Ben did what mom said. He picked up the onion and threw it in the trash. He peeled another onion and put it in the pot. He said sorry to Lila and gave her a hug. He also tried the soup and said, "It's not so bad. It's actually good. I like the soup. I like the onions. I like our family."

Wine is not for children. It can hurt you and make you do bad things. You should never touch it again. You should listen to your mom and do what she says. She knows what is good for you. Now, you have to eat the soup and finish your homework. And you have to apologize to Tom's mom too."

+She helped Sara get up and washed her face gently. She dried her with the towel and put some ice on her bump. She said, "There, there, you're all clean and fresh. Let's go to bed and read a story. You'll feel better in the morning."

+Lily felt a pang in her chest. She wanted her scooter back, but she also felt bad for being mean to the boy and the girl.
+
+Lily's mom explained to her that sharing is good and that she can make new friends by letting others play with her toys. She also explained that taking other people's toys without asking is wrong and that she should say sorry to the boy.

+One day, they found something shiny and hard. It was a wrap. It had pictures of stars and moons on it. Ben wanted to open it and see what was inside. Lily wanted to keep it and show it to Mom.
+
+"Let me see, let me see!" Ben said. He pulled the wrap from Lily's hand. He tried to tear it with his fingers, but it was too strong. He looked around and saw a stick. He picked it up and used it to poke the wrap.
+
+"Be careful, Ben!" Lily said. "The stick is sharp. You might hurt yourself or the wrap."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He poked harder and harder, until he made a hole in the wrap. He was happy. He put his hand inside the hole and felt something soft and fluffy. He pulled it out and saw a teddy bear. It had a red bow and a smile.
+
+"Wow, a teddy bear!" Ben said. He hugged it and laughed. He forgot about the wrap and the stick.
+
+Lily was happy too. She liked the teddy bear. She wanted to hug it and play with it. She reached out her hand and asked Ben to share.
+
+But Ben did not want to share. He held the teddy bear tight and said, "No, it's mine! I found it, I opened it, I keep it!"
+
+Lily was sad. She felt a tear in her eye. She looked at the wrap and saw something else hidden inside. It was a card. It had words on it. She could not read them, but she knew they were important. She picked up the card and showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a card. Maybe it says who the teddy bear is for. Maybe it is not for you. Maybe it is for someone else."
+
+Ben looked at the card. He could not read it either, but he saw a name. It was his name. He felt a warm feeling in his chest. He realized that the wrap and the teddy bear were a gift. A gift for him. A gift from someone who loved him.
+
+He looked at Lily. He saw her sad face and her tear. He felt sorry for making her cry. He remembered that she was his sister. His sister who loved him too.
+
+He smiled and said, "You know what, Lily? The teddy bear is for me, but I can share it with you. You can hug it and play with it too. We can be friends with the teddy bear. We can be friends with each other."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I love you."
+
+They hugged each other and the teddy bear. They forgot about the wrap and the stick. They were happy.
+Lila was a gifted girl who liked to draw and sing. She had many books and toys in her room, but she wanted more. She asked her mom to take her to the store and buy her a new dress and a doll.
+
+"Please, mom, please," she begged. "I have been good and I did my homework."
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, Lila, you have enough things already. You should be happy with what you have and share with others. Besides, we don't have much money right now."
+
+Lila was angry and sad. She did not accept her mom's answer. She threw a tantrum and cried. She said mean words to her mom and ran to her room. She slammed the door and locked it.
+
+Mom tried to talk to her, but Lila did not listen. She ignored her mom and played with her books and toys. She did not care about her mom's feelings or needs. She only cared about herself.
+
+The next day, mom had to go to work. She left a note for Lila, saying that she loved her and that she would be back soon. She also left some food and water for her. She hoped that Lila would calm down and apologize.
+
+But Lila did not read the note. She did not eat or drink. She did not open the door or answer the phone. She stayed in her room, alone and angry.
+
+She did not know that there was a fire in the store across the street. She did not hear the sirens or the smoke alarm. She did not smell the smoke or feel the heat.
+
+She only realized that something was wrong when the flames reached her window. She screamed and tried to escape, but it was too late. The door was locked and the key was lost. The fire was too strong and the smoke was too thick.
+
+She wished she had listened to her mom and accepted her answer. She wished she had been kind and grateful. She wished she had said sorry and hugged her mom.
+
+But it was too late. She had no more time. She had no more chances. She had no more life.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with their bikes. Sara has a pink bike and Tom has a blue bike. They have pedals on their bikes. They can push the pedals with their feet and make the bikes go fast.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their bikes. They see a big hill. Sara wants to go up the hill with her bike. She thinks it will be fun. Tom is scared of the hill. He thinks it will be hard. He says no to Sara. He wants to stay on the flat ground.
+
+Sara goes up the hill with her bike. She pushes the pedals hard. She enjoys the challenge. She reaches the top of the hill. She feels happy and proud. She sees a beautiful view. She smiles.
+
+Tom stays on the flat ground with his bike. He pushes the pedals slowly. He does not enjoy the ride. He feels bored and sad. He sees the same things. He frowns.
+
+Sara comes down the hill with her bike. She pushes the pedals gently. She enjoys the speed. She reaches the bottom of the hill. She sees Tom. She waves to him. She wants to share her joy.
+
+Tom sees Sara. He sees her smile. He feels curious. He asks her what she saw. Sara tells him about the view. She says it was amazing. She says she had fun. She asks him to try the hill.
+
+Tom thinks about it. He feels nervous. He also feels curious. He decides to try the hill. He follows Sara. He pushes the pedals hard. He goes up the hill with his bike. He enjoys the challenge. He reaches the top of the hill. He feels happy and proud. He sees the beautiful view. He smiles.
+
+Sara and Tom are happy. They enjoy the hill. They enjoy their bikes. They enjoy their friendship. They learn that trying new things can be fun and rewarding. They pedal together. They laugh together. They have a good day.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from.
+
+"Look, I made a figure with the blocks!" Lily said, showing Ben her creation. It looked like a person with a head, a body, two arms and two legs. "It has a red hat and a blue dress and yellow shoes."
+
+"That's nice, Lily," Ben said, "but I can make a better figure." He started to stack some blocks on top of each other. He made a taller and wider figure than Lily's. It had a green hat and a purple coat and orange boots.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your figure is big," Lily said, "but I like mine more. It has a smiley face and a pretty dress."
+
+"No, mine is better. It has a cool hat and a long coat," Ben said. He was proud of his figure and wanted Lily to admit that his was better.
+
+They started to argue about whose figure was better. They raised their voices and said mean things to each other. They did not want to share or play nicely.
+
+Their mom heard them from the kitchen and came to see what was going on. She saw the two figures and the two angry children. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben and Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over the blocks? You should be kind and respectful to each other. You should share and take turns and say nice things."
+
+"But mom, my figure is better than hers!" Ben said.
+
+"No, mom, mine is better than his!" Lily said.
+
+Mom shook her head and sighed. She had an idea. She picked up a ball and threw it at the figures. The ball hit them and made them fall down. The blocks scattered all over the floor. The figures were gone.
+
+"Mom!" Ben and Lily cried. They looked at the mess and the broken figures. They were sad and shocked. They looked at mom with pale faces.
+
+"Mom, why did you do that?" Ben asked.
+
+"Mom, that was not nice!" Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at them and said, "I did that to show you that it does not matter whose figure is better. What matters is that you love each other and play together. The blocks are just toys. You can always make new figures. But you can never make new siblings. You are lucky to have each other. You should be sorry for fighting and say sorry to each other."
+
+Ben and Lily realized that mom was right. They felt bad for being mean and selfish. They hugged each other and said sorry. They said sorry to mom too. They decided to play with the blocks again, but this time they worked together. They made a new figure with the blocks. It was a big and colorful figure. It had a happy face and a rainbow dress and a star hat. It was the best figure ever. They were happy and proud. They showed mom their figure and said, "Look, mom, we made this figure together. It is our figure. We love it and we love each other."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I'm glad you learned your lesson. I love you too. And I love your figure. It is beautiful and special, just like you."
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to go on adventures. They always packed a bag with snacks, water, and a map. One day, they decided to explore the big park near their house. They put on their hats, shoes, and jackets and said goodbye to their mom.
+
+"Have fun, but be careful," their mom said. "And remember to be back before dark."
+
+"We will, mom," Anna and Ben said.
+
+They walked to the park and looked at the map. They saw a pond, a bridge, a hill, and a forest. They wanted to see everything, but they also wanted to find something new and exciting.
+
+"Let's go to the forest," Ben said. "Maybe we can find some animals or a secret cave."
+
+"OK," Anna said. "But let's eat something first. I'm hungry."
+
+They opened their bag and took out some sandwiches. They had cheese, ham, and butter. They liked butter a lot. It made everything taste better.
+
+They ate their sandwiches and drank some water. Then they put the bag on their backs and headed to the forest. They saw some birds, squirrels, and flowers. They also heard some noises that they didn't know.
+
+"What's that?" Anna asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Let's find out."
+
+They followed the noises and came to a clearing. There they saw a big, furry, brown animal. It had a long nose, small ears, and sharp claws. It was eating something from a jar.
+
+"It's a bear!" Anna whispered.
+
+"It's eating our butter!" Ben whispered.
+
+They looked at their bag and saw that it was open. They had forgotten to close it after eating. The bear had smelled the butter and taken it from their bag.
+
+"Oh no," Anna said. "What do we do?"
+
+"Maybe we can get it back," Ben said. He was brave and adventurous, but also a little foolish.
+
+He took a stick and threw it at the bear. The bear looked up and saw them. It growled and stood up. It was very big and angry.
+
+"Run!" Anna shouted.
+
+They turned around and ran as fast as they could. They heard the bear chasing them. They ran out of the forest and across the bridge. They ran up the hill and down the other side. They ran all the way to the park gate.
+
+They were safe, but they were also tired and scared. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+They looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. They had to go home. They hoped their mom wouldn't be mad at them.
+
+They walked home and knocked on the door. Their mom opened it and smiled.
+
+"Hello, my adventurous twins," she said. "Did you have fun?"
+
+They nodded and hugged her.
+
+"We did, mom," they said. "But we also learned a lesson."
+
+"What lesson?" their mom asked.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "Remember to close the bag and don't mess with bears."
+Sara loved to write. She had a big book with many pages and a crayon that made colors. She wrote her name, her family, her friends, and her toys. She wrote about what she did and what she saw. She wrote every day.
+
+One day, Sara saw a new fruit in the kitchen. It was small and dark and wrinkled. She asked her mom what it was. Her mom said it was a prune. She said it was sweet and good for you. She gave one to Sara to try.
+
+Sara liked the prune. It was soft and juicy in her mouth. She wanted to write about it. She ran to her book and crayon. She drew a circle and made lines on it. She wrote "prune" under it. She was very proud of her picture.
+
+She showed it to her mom. Her mom smiled and said it was a great picture. She said she had a surprise for Sara. She took her to the backyard. There was a big tree with many green leaves and purple fruits. Her mom said it was a plum tree. She said plums were like prunes, but fresh and bigger. She picked one and gave it to Sara.
+
+Sara was very happy. She had never seen a plum before. She bit into it. It was sweet and juicy, like a prune, but more. She thanked her mom and hugged her. She said she wanted to write about plums too. She ran to her book and crayon. She drew a bigger circle and made dots on it. She wrote "plum" under it. She was very enthusiastic about her new fruit. She wanted to write more and more.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a blue dress and a long braid. Sara took Anna everywhere. She was a popular doll.
+
+One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and Anna. It was a hot day. Sara played on the swings and the slide. She had fun. She put Anna in her case and left it on the bench. She forgot about Anna.
+
+After a while, Sara got thirsty. She asked her mom for some water. Her mom said, "OK, but first let's get your case. We don't want to lose Anna." They walked to the bench. But Sara's case was not there. Someone had taken it.
+
+Sara was sad. She cried. She wanted Anna back. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, honey. Maybe someone found your case and will bring it back. Let's look around the park. Maybe we can find it."
+
+They looked everywhere. They asked the other kids and the adults. But no one had seen Sara's case. Sara felt hopeless. She thought she would never see Anna again.
+
+Then, they saw something shiny on the ground. It was a piece of plastic. It was melted. Sara picked it up. She recognized it. It was Anna's dress. Sara gasped. She looked up. She saw a big trash can. It was on fire. Someone had thrown Sara's case in the trash can. And the fire had melted Anna.
+
+Sara was shocked. She screamed. She dropped the piece of plastic. She ran to her mom. She sobbed. She said, "Mommy, mommy, Anna is gone. She melted. She melted in the fire. She's gone forever."
+
+Her mom was angry. She said, "Who did this? Who took your case and threw it in the fire? That's very mean. That's very bad. I'm sorry, Sara. I'm so sorry."
+
+She hugged Sara and tried to comfort her. She said, "I know you loved Anna. She was a special doll. But you still have other dolls. And you can get a new doll. A new doll that looks like Anna. Or a different doll. A doll that you will love too. It's OK, Sara. It's OK."
+
+Sara nodded. She wiped her tears. She said, "OK, mommy. OK. But I will always miss Anna. She was my favorite. She was a popular doll."
+Lily liked to help her mom cook. She wanted to make a cake for dad's birthday. Mom gave her a big bowl and a spoon. She said, "Mix the flour, the eggs and the milk. Then we will put it in the pan and bake it in the oven."
+
+Lily was happy. She mixed and mixed. She sang a song. She saw a jar of jam on the counter. She thought, "Jam is yummy. I will put some in the cake. Dad will like it more." She opened the jar and poured some jam in the bowl. She mixed and mixed.
+
+Mom came back and saw the bowl. She said, "Oh no, Lily! What did you do? You spoiled the cake. Jam does not go in the cake. It will make it sticky and sour. We have to start over." She took the bowl and threw it in the trash. She got a new bowl and new ingredients.
+
+Lily was sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make the cake better. I did not know jam would spoil it." Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You were trying to help. But you have to follow the recipe. Jam goes on the cake, not in the cake. Let's try again. This time, no jam, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. No jam. I will listen to you. I love you, mom. I love dad. I want to make a good cake for him." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good helper. And a silly girl. Come on, let's make the cake." They mixed and mixed. They put the batter in the pan and baked it in the oven. They made a yummy cake for dad. He was very happy. He said, "Thank you, Lily. Thank you, mom. This is the best cake ever. You are the best family ever." They hugged and kissed. They ate the cake. They put jam on it. It was delicious.
+Tommy loved to number his toys. He had many cars, trains, blocks and animals. He liked to put them in rows and say one, two, three and so on. He was very good at counting.
+
+One day, he got a big mail from his grandma. It was a book with many pictures and words. Tommy was very excited. He opened the mail and looked at the book. He saw a picture of a dog and a cat. He said, "Dog, cat, one, two."
+
+He turned the page and saw a picture of a tree and a bird. He said, "Tree, bird, one, two." He turned the page again and saw a picture of a sun and a moon. He said, "Sun, moon, one, two."
+
+He kept turning the pages and saying one, two for every picture. He did not look at the words or the other things in the pictures. He did not learn anything new from the book.
+
+His mom came and saw him with the book. She said, "Tommy, do you like the book grandma sent you?" Tommy said, "Yes, mom, I like to number the pictures. One, two, one, two."
+
+His mom said, "That's good, Tommy, but there is more to the book than that. The book has words that tell you the names of the things and what they do. The book also has other things in the pictures that you can count and learn about. Do you want me to read the book with you and help you number and learn?"
+
+Tommy said, "Yes, mom, I want to number and learn. Please read the book with me." His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "I'm glad, Tommy. Numbering is fun, but learning is more fun. You can number and learn at the same time."
+
+They sat down and read the book together. Tommy learned the names of the things and what they did. He also learned to count more than one and two. He saw flowers, stars, fish and many other things. He was very happy and thanked his grandma for the mail.
+
+The moral of the story is: Numbering is fun, but learning is more fun. You can number and learn at the same time.
+Lily loved to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir, pour, and taste the yummy food. Mom said Lily was a good helper and an adorable girl. Lily was very happy.
+
+One day, mom made a big cake for dad's birthday. It was a chocolate cake with white frosting and sprinkles. Lily helped mom put the cake on a plate and carry it to the table. Mom told Lily to be very careful and not slip.
+
+Lily nodded and held the plate with both hands. She walked slowly and looked at the cake. It smelled so good. She wanted to lick the frosting. She thought dad would love the cake.
+
+But then, Lily saw something shiny on the floor. It was a spoon that mom had dropped. Lily wanted to pick it up and give it to mom. She forgot about the cake and the plate. She let go of one hand and reached for the spoon.
+
+Oh no! The plate tilted and the cake slid off. It fell on the floor with a big splat. Lily slipped on the frosting and landed on the cake. She was covered in chocolate and sprinkles. She started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and ran to the table. She saw Lily and the cake on the floor. She felt sorry for Lily and the cake. She hugged Lily and said it was okay.

+Tom was a big dog who liked to run and play. He had a lot of friends in the park, like Ben the bird, Sam the squirrel and Lily the rabbit. They had fun together, chasing balls, finding nuts and hiding in the hedge.
+
+One day, Tom saw a new dog in the park. He was black and white, and had a tough look on his face. He did not want to play with Tom and his friends. He wanted to chase them and bite them. He was mean and scary.
+
+Tom tried to be brave and protect his friends. He barked at the new dog and told him to go away. But the new dog was faster and stronger. He jumped on Tom and bit his ear. Tom yelped and ran away. He felt pain and blood. He suffered a lot.
+
+Tom's friends were sad and worried. They followed him to his home, where his mom was waiting. She saw Tom's ear and hugged him. She cleaned his wound and put a bandage on it. She gave him a treat and a toy. She said he was a good boy and a hero.
+
+Tom felt better and smiled. He thanked his mom and his friends. He knew they loved him and cared for him. He hoped the new dog would not come back. He wished he would find a nice home and learn to be kind. He dreamed of playing in the park again, with his friends and the hedge.
+Lily liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played and when she went to bed. She sang songs about flowers, stars, rainbows and animals. She sang loud and happy.
+
+One day, Lily went to the farm with her mom and dad. She saw many animals there. She saw cows, pigs, chickens, horses and sheep. She liked the sheep best. They were white and soft and had funny noises. She wanted to sing to them.
+
+She ran to the fence and saw a large sheep. It was bigger than the others and had a lot of wool. Lily thought it was the leader of the sheep. She smiled and said hello. Then she sang a song to the large sheep. She sang about how nice and fluffy it was and how she wanted to be its friend.
+
+The large sheep looked at Lily and listened to her song. It liked her voice and her words. It felt happy and friendly. It moved closer to the fence and baaed softly. It wanted to say thank you and hello.
+
+Lily was happy too. She reached out her hand and touched the large sheep's wool. It was warm and soft. She giggled and sang another song. The large sheep baaed again and nodded its head. They became friends and sang together. Lily's mom and dad watched and smiled. They were proud of their little singer.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many flowers and bugs. They gather some flowers and put them in a basket. They also gather some bugs and put them in a jar. They are happy.
+
+They are hungry too. They go to the bench and eat their lunch. They have sandwiches and juice. They share their food. They say thank you. Their stomachs are full. They are happy.
+
+They see a new boy in the park. He is alone. He looks sad. Lily and Ben go to him and say hello. They ask him his name. He says Tom. They ask him to play with them. He says yes. They show him their flowers and bugs. He likes them. He smiles. They are happy.
+
+They play together for a long time. They run and jump and laugh. They are friends. They are happy. The end.
+Ben likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to match his cars with the same color or the same size. He thinks matching is fun and useful.
+
+One day, he finds a new car in his toy box. It is red and big and shiny. He looks for another car that is red and big and shiny, but he cannot find one. He feels sad. He wants to match his new car with a friend.
+
+He asks his mom for help. His mom smiles and says, "Why don't you try to match your new car with something else? Maybe something that has the same shape or the same sound or the same touch?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He looks around his room. He sees his red ball. It has the same color as his new car, but not the same shape or sound or touch. He sees his big drum. It has the same size as his new car, but not the same color or sound or touch. He sees his shiny spoon. It has the same shine as his new car, but not the same color or size or touch.
+
+He feels confused. He does not know what to match his new car with. He says, "Mom, I can't find anything that matches my new car. It is too different."
+
+His mom hugs him and says, "That's okay, Ben. Sometimes, things are different and that's what makes them special. You don't have to match everything. You can enjoy your new car for what it is. Maybe you can find other ways to play with it. Maybe you can make it go fast or make it jump or make it talk."
+
+Ben smiles. He thinks his mom is right. He does not need to match his new car with anything. He can love his new car for what it is. He says, "Thank you, mom. You are very useful and very smart. I love you and I love my new car."
+
+He picks up his new car and makes it go zoom zoom zoom. He has fun with his new car. He is happy.
+Lily liked to make things with her toys. She made houses, cars, animals and people. She used blocks, dolls, cars and stickers. She was very proud of her creations.
+
+One day, her big brother Tom came into her room. He saw her toys and laughed. He said they were silly and wrong. He said a house should have a roof, a car should have wheels, an animal should have fur and a person should have clothes. He said Lily was ignorant and did not know anything.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's words. She did not think he was nice or smart. She said he was mean and rude. She said he should leave her alone and let her play. She said he was ignorant and did not know how to have fun.
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He took her toys and threw them on the floor. He said he was going to teach her how to make things properly. He said he was going to give her a lecture.
+
+Lily did not want a lecture. She wanted her toys back. She shouted and cried. She ran to her mom and told her what Tom did. Mom came to Lily's room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She scolded Tom and told him to apologize to Lily. She said he should not be ignorant and respect Lily's imagination. She said he should help her clean up and play nicely with her.
+
+Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He said he was sorry to Lily and mom. He helped Lily pick up her toys and put them back. He said he liked Lily's creations and asked her to show him how to make them.

+
+She did not want her mom to be angry. She thought of a plan. She ran to her room and got a paper plate. She drew some flowers on it with her crayons. She hoped her mom would not notice. She put the paper plate in the sink and hid the broken plate under her bed.
+
+But her mom was very smart. She saw the paper plate and knew something was wrong. She asked Sara what happened. Sara did not want to lie. She was an honest girl. She told her mom the truth. She said she was sorry and showed her the broken plate.
+
+Her mom was not angry. She was happy that Sara was honest. She hugged her and said it was okay. She said they could replace the broken plate with a new one. She said she loved Sara very much.

+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. But today it is cold and wet. It is a new season. Mom says it is fall.
+
+"Can we go outside, Mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"No, dear. It is too cold and wet. You will get sick. You can play inside with your toys," Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They do not like to play inside. They want to see the leaves and the birds. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's go outside when Mom is not looking. She will not know," Ben says.
+
+"OK. But we have to be quick. And we have to lock the door. So Mom cannot follow us," Sara says.
+
+They put on their coats and boots. They sneak out of the house. They lock the door behind them. They run to the yard. They see the leaves and the birds. They are happy.
+
+But Mom sees them. She is angry. She tries to open the door. But it is locked. She knocks on the door. She calls their names.
+
+"Sara! Ben! Come back inside right now! You are naughty! You did not listen to me!" Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben hear Mom. They are scared. They know they did something bad. They run back to the door. They unlock it. They open it. They see Mom. She is not happy.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We wanted to play outside. We did not mean to lock you out," Sara says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We were not obedient. We will not do it again," Ben says.
+
+Mom hugs them. She is not angry anymore. She is glad they are safe. She is still worried. She checks them for fever. She gives them hot chocolate. She tells them a story.
+
+"Next time, you have to listen to me. I know what is best for you. I love you very much. And I want you to be healthy and happy. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We understand. We love you too. And we will be obedient," Sara and Ben say.
+Lily was a little bunny who loved to eat carrots. She had a big garden with many carrots that she grew with her mama and papa. Every day, she would pick some carrots and munch them happily.
+
+One day, she saw a big, grumpy rabbit in her garden. He was eating her carrots and making a mess. Lily was very angry and scared. She ran to her mama and papa and told them what she saw.
+
+Her mama and papa hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. That is Mr. Grump, the old rabbit who lives in the woods. He is very lonely and hungry, and sometimes he comes to our garden to find some food. He doesn't mean to be mean, he just doesn't know how to share."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Mr. Grump. She wanted to be his friend and help him. She asked her mama and papa if she could give him some carrots. They said yes, but to be careful and kind.
+
