They were best friends. +Sara and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They want to make a cake for Mom. They have a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, some milk and some sugar. They also have a spoon to stir. + +"Let me stir, Sara!" Ben says. He grabs the spoon from Sara's hand. + +"No, Ben, it's my turn!" Sara says. She pulls the spoon back. + +They tug and tug on the spoon. The bowl falls on the floor. The flour, the eggs, the milk and the sugar make a big mess. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Ben say. + +They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They run to the living room. They hide behind the couch. + +Mom sees the mess in the kitchen. She is angry. She smells something bad. She sees the gas stove. It is on. There is a blue flame. + +"Who left the gas on?" Mom says. She turns it off. She is worried. + +She looks for Sara and Ben. She finds them behind the couch. + +"Sara, Ben, what did you do?" Mom says. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Sara and Ben say. "We wanted to make a cake for you." + +Mom sighs. She hugs them. + +"I love you, Sara and Ben," Mom says. "But you should never play with the gas stove. It is very dangerous. And you should always ask me before you use the kitchen." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say sorry again. + +Mom smiles. She says, "How about we clean up the mess together, and then we can make a real cake?" + +Sara and Ben are happy. They say yes. They help Mom clean up. They learn how to stir, how to measure, how to crack eggs, and how to bake. They make a delicious cake for Mom. They eat it together. They are proud. Mom is proud too. +Lily was sick. She had a bad cough and a sore throat. Her mom gave her some medicine, but Lily did not like it. It was bitter and made her face scrunch up. + +"Please, Lily, you have to take your medicine. It will make you feel better," her mom said. + +"But I don't want to, Mommy. It's yucky," Lily whined. + +Her mom sighed. She knew Lily hated medicine, but she also knew it was good for her. She had an idea. She took out a small box from the cupboard. It had a picture of a rainbow and a unicorn on it. + +"Lily, look what I have for you. It's a special treat. But you can only have it if you promise to take your medicine first. Do you promise?" her mom asked. + +Lily's eyes lit up when she saw the box. She loved rainbows and unicorns. She wanted the treat very much. She nodded her head. + +"I promise, Mommy. I promise," she said. + +Her mom smiled. She gave Lily a spoonful of medicine and watched her swallow it. Then she opened the box and took out a sticker. It was a shiny sticker of a unicorn with a rainbow mane. + +"Here you go, Lily. This is your treat. You can put it on your shirt or your book or wherever you like. You did a good job taking your medicine," her mom said. + +Lily took the sticker and smiled. She felt proud of herself. She peeled off the back of the sticker and stuck it on her shirt. It was pretty and sparkly. She thanked her mom and hugged her. + +But then she felt something heavy in her tummy. She felt sick again. She ran to the bathroom and threw up. The medicine came out with the sticker. She cried and called for her mom. + +Her mom came and saw what happened. She felt sorry for Lily. She wiped her mouth and hugged her. + +"Oh, Lily, I'm so sorry. The medicine was too heavy for your tummy. Maybe we should try a different kind of medicine. One that is lighter and sweeter. Would you like that?" her mom asked. + +Lily nodded. She still felt sick, but she also felt loved. She trusted her mom to help her. She hoped the new medicine would work. And she hoped she would get another sticker. Maybe a rainbow one. She liked rainbows. +Tommy wanted to help his mom with the laundry. He saw a big pile of clothes on the bed. He picked up a shirt and tried to fold it. He made a square with the shirt and put it on the floor. He felt proud of himself. + +"Good job, Tommy!" his mom said. "You are a good helper. Can you put the shirt in the drawer?" + +Tommy nodded and carried the shirt to the dresser. He opened a drawer and saw more clothes inside. He tried to push the shirt in, but it did not fit. He pushed harder, but the drawer got stuck. He pulled the drawer, but it did not move. He felt anxious. He did not want to break the drawer. + +"Mommy, help!" he cried. "The drawer is stuck!" + +His mom came to the dresser and saw the problem. She smiled and hugged Tommy. + +"Don't worry, Tommy. It's okay. You just need to fold the shirt a little smaller. Like this." She showed him how to fold the shirt in half and then in half again. She gave him the shirt and he copied her. He put the shirt in the drawer and it fit. He closed the drawer and opened it again. It worked. + +"Wow, thank you, Mommy!" he said. "You are a good teacher. Can I fold more clothes?" + +"Of course, Tommy. You are a great folder. Let's do it together." His mom said. They folded more clothes and put them in the drawers. Tommy felt happy and proud. He liked to help his mom with the laundry. +Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play cowboys and robbers. Ben had a hat and a pistol. Sam had a scarf and a bag. They ran around the yard and pretended to shoot and chase each other. + +One day, they saw a big orange box in the corner of the yard. They wondered what was inside. They decided to open it and see. They ran to the box and lifted the lid. They were very surprised by what they saw. + +"Wow!" Ben said. "Look at all the toys!" + +The box was full of new and shiny toys. There were cars, trains, dolls, books, and more. Ben and Sam were very happy. They wanted to play with the toys right away. + +But then they heard a voice behind them. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" the voice said. "Those are my toys!" + +They turned around and saw a girl standing there. She had long hair and a dress. She looked angry. She was holding a big stick. + +"Who are you?" Ben asked. + +"I'm Lily," the girl said. "I live next door. My mom gave me this box for my birthday. You can't have my toys. They are mine!" + +Ben and Sam were scared. They didn't know Lily. They didn't want to fight with her. They wanted to be friends. + +"Sorry, Lily," Sam said. "We didn't know. We just wanted to see what was in the box. We like your toys. They are very nice." + +Lily looked at them. She saw that they were not mean. They were just curious. She felt sorry for them. + +"It's okay," Lily said. "You can play with my toys. But you have to share. And you have to be careful. Don't break them." + +Ben and Sam smiled. They thanked Lily. They put their hat, pistol, scarf, and bag in the box. They took out some toys and played with Lily. They had a lot of fun. They made a new friend. They were not surprised anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the forest. They see a big log on the ground. They want to climb on it and pretend it is a boat. + +"Let's go on the log, Ben!" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily!" Ben says. + +They run to the log and try to get on it. But the log is very high and slippery. It is difficult to climb on it. + +"Help me, Lily!" Ben says. He holds Lily's hand and tries to pull himself up. + +"Help me, Ben!" Lily says. She holds Ben's hand and tries to push herself up. + +They both try very hard, but they cannot get on the log. They fall down and get dirty. + +"Oh no, we can't get on the log!" Lily says. + +"It is too difficult!" Ben says. + +They are sad and tired. They sit on the ground and look at the log. + +"Maybe we can find another log," Lily says. + +"Maybe we can find a smaller log," Ben says. + +They get up and wipe their clothes. They hold hands and walk in the forest. They hope to find a better log to play with. They are still friends. +Lily loves to dance. She dances in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She dances with her toys, with her mom, and with her dad. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. + +One day, Lily's mom tells her that she has a reward for her. Lily is excited. She wonders what it is. Is it a new toy? Is it a candy? Is it a book? She follows her mom to the living room. + +There, she sees a big box with a bow. Lily's mom says, "This is your reward for being a good girl and doing your regular chores. You can open it now." Lily runs to the box and tears the bow and the paper. She opens the box and gasps. + +Inside the box, there is a beautiful dress. It is pink and sparkly and has a tutu. Lily loves it. She puts it on and twirls around. She feels like a princess. She hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +Lily's mom smiles and says, "You're welcome, my sweet. Now, do you want to dance with me?" Lily nods and takes her mom's hand. They dance together in the living room, laughing and spinning. Lily is very happy. She thinks that this is the best reward ever. +Anna and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. They also liked to pretend they were dragons and breathe fire. + +"Look, I made a big flame with my mouth!" Ben said, blowing air and making a sound. + +"That's not a flame, that's just air. A flame is hot and bright and red. Like this!" Anna said, pointing to the candle on the table. + +"Wow, that's a real flame! Can I touch it?" Ben asked, curious. + +"No, you can't touch it. It will hurt you. It will burn you. Mommy said so. She said we have to be careful with fire." Anna said, honest. + +"OK, I won't touch it. But can I pass it to you?" Ben asked, holding his hand near the candle. + +"No, you can't pass it to me either. It will fall and make a mess. It will catch things on fire. Mommy said so. She said we have to leave it alone." Anna said, honest. + +"OK, I won't pass it to you. But can I look at it?" Ben asked, staring at the flame. + +"Yes, you can look at it. It's pretty. It's like a star. But don't get too close. And don't blow on it. It will go out. Mommy said so. She said we have to respect fire." Anna said, honest. + +"OK, I will look at it. And I will respect it. And I will be careful. And I will be honest. Like you." Ben said, smiling. + +Anna smiled back. They both looked at the flame and felt warm and happy. They were good friends. They liked to play and learn and share. They also liked to be dragons and breathe fire. But only pretend. +Tom and Anna were brother and sister. They liked to play in the backyard. They had a swing, a slide, and a sandbox. But today, they were bored. They had played with everything many times. + +"Let's do something new," Tom said. + +"Like what?" Anna asked. + +Tom looked around. He saw a big fence. He had never seen what was behind it. He had an idea. + +"Let's climb the fence and see what's there," he said. + +Anna was scared. She knew Mom and Dad said not to go out of the backyard. They said it was not safe. + +"No, Tom, we can't do that. It's bad. We have to stay here," she said. + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to have fun. He ran to the fence and started to climb. He was almost at the top when he heard a loud bark. He looked down and saw a big dog. The dog was angry. It wanted to bite Tom. + +"Help!" Tom shouted. He was afraid. + +Anna heard Tom. She ran to the fence. She saw the dog. She was afraid too. But she wanted to help Tom. She grabbed a stick and threw it at the dog. The dog chased the stick. Tom jumped down from the fence. He ran to Anna. They hugged. + +"Thank you, Anna. You saved me," Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I should have joined you. Maybe the dog would not have been so mad," Anna said. + +"No, Anna. You were right. We should not have climbed the fence. It was wrong. We could have been hurt. We have to listen to Mom and Dad. They know what's best for us," Tom said. + +They went back to the backyard. They played with the swing, the slide, and the sandbox. They were not bored anymore. They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents and stay safe. Don't go where you are not supposed to go. You can have fun with what you have. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play on the beach. They have a big surf that they can ride on the waves. One day, they see a big fish in the water. It has sharp teeth and a long tail. + +"Look, Tom, a fish!" Sam says. + +"Let's get the surf and go near it!" Tom says. + +They get the surf and run to the water. They put the surf on the waves and paddle with their arms. They see the fish again. It is very big and fast. It swims under the surf and bumps it. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Tom says. + +"Be careful, Tom, it might bite us!" Sam says. + +They paddle away from the fish. But the fish follows them. It jumps out of the water and opens its mouth. It tries to bite the surf. Tom and Sam scream and fall off the surf. They swim to the shore as fast as they can. + +They reach the sand and look back. The fish has the surf in its mouth. It shakes it and breaks it. The surf is dead. Tom and Sam are sad and scared. + +"Bad fish, bad fish!" Tom says. + +"Let's go home, Tom, I don't like the fish!" Sam says. + +They run to their mom and dad. They hug them and tell them what happened. Their mom and dad are glad they are safe. They say they will buy them a new surf. Tom and Sam are happy again. They say they will not go near the big fish anymore. They play with their sand toys and forget about the fish. +Ben and Lily were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +"Look at my tower, Lily!" Ben said. "It is very tall and strong. It is the best tower ever!" + +Lily looked at Ben's tower. She did not like it. She thought it was too big and too proud. She had a modest tower that was not very tall, but it was nice and neat. She wanted to show Ben her tower, but he did not look at it. + +"Your tower is not good, Ben," Lily said. "It is too much. It will fall down soon. My tower is better. It is modest and stable. It will not fall down." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He did not recognize that she was trying to be nice. He thought she was jealous and mean. He got angry at Lily. He wanted to make her tower fall down too. + +He pushed his tower with his hand. He wanted to make it fall on Lily's tower and break it. But he pushed too hard. His tower did not fall on Lily's tower. It fell on him. + +The blocks hit Ben on his head and his face and his body. They hurt him a lot. He cried and screamed. He was sorry for what he did. + +Lily was scared. She saw Ben in pain. She felt sorry for him too. She ran to him and tried to help him. She called for their mom. + +Mom came and saw what happened. She was very upset. She picked up Ben and took him to the doctor. She left Lily alone in the playroom. She did not say anything to her. + +Lily felt sad and lonely. She wished she and Ben had played nicely. She wished they had shared their blocks and recognized each other's towers. She wished they had been friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the farm. One day, they see a big bull in the field. The bull is angry and loud. He runs at the fence and tries to break it. + +"Look at the bull!" Tom says. "He is scary!" + +Sam nods. He is scared too. But he has an idea. He sees a big stick on the ground. He picks it up and runs to the fence. + +"Tom, help me!" Sam says. "We can support the fence with the stick. Then the bull cannot get out." + +Tom runs to Sam. He helps him hold the stick against the fence. The bull pushes harder, but the fence does not fall. The stick is strong and good. + +"Good job, Sam!" Tom says. "You are brave and smart!" + +Sam smiles. He is happy. He hugs Tom. + +"Thank you, Tom!" Sam says. "You are a good friend. You support me when I am scared." + +The bull stops pushing. He sees that he cannot escape. He walks away and lies down. He is tired and calm. + +Tom and Sam are safe. They are proud of themselves. They support each other. They are good friends. +Tom was a naughty boy. He liked to do things that made his mom and dad angry. One day, he found a big key in his dad's room. He wondered what it could unlock. He looked around and saw a big door with a lock on it. He knew his dad said never to go inside, but he was curious. + +He put the key in the lock and turned it. The door opened and he saw a lot of buttons and screens. He thought it looked like a game. He wanted to play with the buttons and see what they did. He did not know that the door was to a secret room where his dad worked for the nation. His dad was in charge of keeping the nation safe from bad people. + +He pushed a red button and heard a loud noise. He saw a flash of light on one of the screens. He did not know that he had just launched a missile at another nation. He had started a war. He had done a very bad thing. + +His dad heard the noise and ran to the room. He saw Tom and the open door and the screen. He was shocked and scared. He tried to stop the missile, but it was too late. He yelled at Tom and told him what he had done. He said he was very sorry, but they had to run. He grabbed Tom and ran to the car. + +But they did not get far. The other nation had missiles too. They saw them in the sky. They heard a loud boom. Everything went dark. Tom and his dad were gone. So was the nation. Tom had unlocked the door to the end of the world. He had been too naughty. +Anna was sad. She had a red boo-boo on her knee. She fell down when she was playing with her bike. It hurt a lot. She cried and ran to her mom. + +Mom hugged Anna and said, "Don't worry, my sweetie. I will help you heal your boo-boo. Let me get a band-aid and some ice." Mom took Anna to the kitchen and put a band-aid on her knee. She also gave her a cold pack to make the pain go away. + +Anna felt better. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." Mom smiled back and said, "You are welcome, my love. How about some toast for a snack? You must be hungry after playing so hard." Mom made some toast and put some butter and jam on it. She cut it into small pieces and gave it to Anna. + +Anna ate the toast and said, "Yum, this is good. I like toast." Mom said, "I'm glad you like it. Toast is good for you. It gives you energy and makes you strong." Anna nodded and said, "I want to be strong like you, mom." Mom said, "You are strong, Anna. You are brave and smart and kind. And you heal fast. Look, your boo-boo is already getting better." She kissed Anna's knee and said, "I love you, Anna." Anna said, "I love you too, mom." They hugged and ate the toast together. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to look at the stars at night. They wondered what was out there, beyond the sky. One night, they asked their dad to tell them about the universe. + +"The universe is very big and very old," their dad said. "It has many stars and planets and other things we can't see. Some of them are very far away, and some of them are very close. We live on a planet called Earth, which is part of the universe." + +Ben and Mia tried to understand, but they had many questions. "How big is the universe?" Ben asked. "How old is it?" Mia asked. "Can we go there?" they both asked. + +Their dad smiled and hugged them. "The universe is so big that we can't measure it, and so old that we can't count it. We can't go there, but we can learn about it by looking at it and reading about it. Sometimes, the universe can be scary, because it has things we don't know or understand. But it can also be beautiful, because it has things that make us wonder and dream." + +Ben and Mia nodded, but they still felt curious and a little scared. They looked at the stars again, and imagined what they could be. They decided to keep learning about the universe, and to share their wonder and dreams with each other. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. Tom had a big red car that was very fast. Sam had a small blue car that was not so fast. Tom was proud of his car and liked to show off his speed. + +One day, they went to the park to race their cars on the grass. Tom said to Sam, "My car is faster than yours. I will win the race and you will lose." Sam said, "No, my car is smarter than yours. I will win the race and you will be sad." They lined up their cars and said, "Ready, set, go!" + +They pushed their cars as hard as they could. Tom's car zoomed ahead of Sam's car. Tom laughed and said, "Ha ha, I told you my car is faster. You are slow and silly." Sam tried to catch up, but his car was too small. He felt angry and sad. + +But then, something bad happened. Tom's car ran into a big rock and flipped over. The car broke into pieces and the wheels came off. Tom cried and said, "Oh no, my car is ruined. It was my favorite car. It was a gift from my wealthy uncle. He will be mad at me." He ran to his car and tried to fix it, but it was too late. + +Sam saw what happened and felt sorry for Tom. He stopped his car and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. That was a bad accident. Are you okay?" He walked to Tom and offered him his car. He said, "Here, you can have my car. It is not fast, but it is still good. We can share it and be friends." But Tom was too upset to listen. He pushed Sam away and said, "Go away, Sam. I don't want your car. It is small and ugly. You are not my friend. You are mean and stupid." He threw Sam's car on the ground and ran away. + +Sam was hurt and confused. He picked up his car and said, "But Tom, I was trying to help you. I was not mean or stupid. You were mean and rude. You hurt my feelings and my car." He looked at his car and saw that it had a scratch and a dent. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he had a better friend. He wished he had a better car. He wished he had a better day. +Ben and Mia like to jog in the park with their dog Spot. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and around the trees. Spot likes to chase the birds and the squirrels. He barks and wags his tail. + +One day, they see a big pond in the park. It has ducks and fish and frogs. Ben and Mia want to jog near the pond and see the animals. But Spot does not like the pond. He is afraid of the water. He thinks it is too deep and cold. + +"Come on, Spot!" Ben says. "Don't be scared. The pond is fun. Look, the ducks are smiling at you." + +But Spot shakes his head. He does not want to go near the pond. He pulls on his leash and tries to run away. + +"Spot, stop!" Mia says. "You are being silly. The pond is not deep. Look, I can touch the bottom with my foot." + +But Spot does not listen. He pulls harder and harder. He breaks the leash and runs away from the pond. Ben and Mia are sad and worried. They call his name and look for him. + +"Spot, where are you?" Ben says. "Come back, please. We love you." + +"Spot, we are sorry." Mia says. "We won't make you go near the pond again. We just want to jog with you." + +They jog around the park and look for Spot. They hope he is safe and happy. They hope he will come back to them. They miss his smile and his bark. +Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She only had her doll, Lily. Lily was old and had a hole in her arm. Anna wanted to fix Lily, but she did not know how. + +One day, Anna saw her mom sewing a button on a shirt. She had a needle and a thread. Anna thought maybe she could use them to fix Lily. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I have the needle and the thread?" + +Her mom looked at her and said, "No, Anna. The needle is sharp. It can hurt you. You are too little to use the needle. You have to trust me." + +Anna was sad. She did not understand why her mom did not let her use the needle. She thought her mom did not care about Lily. She took Lily and ran to her room. She cried and hugged Lily. + +She did not see that her mom followed her. Her mom knocked on the door and said, "Anna, can I come in?" Anna did not answer. Her mom opened the door and sat on the bed. She said, "Anna, I'm sorry. I do care about Lily. I know she is your friend. But the needle is not a toy. It is a tool. You have to be careful with it. You have to wait until you are bigger to use it. Do you understand?" + +Anna looked at her mom and nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. But I want to fix Lily. She has a hole in her arm. She is sad." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't we fix Lily together? I can use the needle and you can help me with the thread. How does that sound?" + +Anna smiled and said, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you. I love you." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you too, Anna. And I love Lily. Come on, let's go and fix her." + +Anna and her mom went to the living room. They took the needle and the thread and fixed Lily's hole. Anna was happy. She was not lonely anymore. She had her mom and her doll. She trusted her mom. She knew her mom wanted the best for her. She kissed Lily and said, "You are all better now, Lily. You are my best friend." +Sam and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bench. It was brown and long. They wanted to sit on it. + +"Let's sit on the bench," Sam said. + +"OK," Tom said. + +They ran to the bench. But there was a man on the bench. He was old and dirty. He had a bag and a bottle. He looked at them. + +"Go away, kids," he said. "This is my bench." + +Sam and Tom were scared. They did not want to make the man angry. + +"Sorry, sir," Sam said. "We just wanted to sit for a bit." + +The man frowned. He had an idea. He took out a candy from his bag. It was red and shiny. + +"Do you want a candy?" he asked. He offered the candy to Sam. + +Sam liked candy. He reached for the candy. But Tom stopped him. + +"No, Sam, don't take it," Tom said. "We don't know him. He might be bad." + +The man got mad. He grabbed Sam's arm. He pulled him to the bench. + +"Come here, kid," he said. "I'll give you more candy." + +Sam screamed. He tried to get away. But the man was strong. He held him tight. + +"Help, Tom, help!" Sam cried. + +Tom was scared. He did not know what to do. He looked around. He saw a regular lady. She was walking a dog. She saw the man and the kids. She knew something was wrong. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" she shouted. She ran to the bench. She pushed the man. She freed Sam. + +"Are you OK, kids?" she asked. She hugged Sam and Tom. + +The man got up. He was angry. He threw his bottle at the lady. It hit her head. She fell to the ground. She did not move. + +The man ran away. He took his bag. He left the bench. + +Sam and Tom were shocked. They saw the lady. She was bleeding. She was not breathing. + +They cried. They did not know what to do. They wished they never saw the bench. They wished they never met the man. They wished they never took his candy. They wished they had a good day. But it was too late. It was a bad day. It was a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play and have fun. But today was a cold day. The wind was strong and the snow was white. Lily and Tom put on their coats and hats and gloves. They wanted to go outside and make a snowman. + +"Come on, Tom, let's go!" Lily said. She opened the door and ran out. She felt the cold air on her face. She smiled and laughed. + +"Wait for me, Lily!" Tom said. He followed her, but he was slower. He did not like the cold. He felt his nose and ears and fingers. They were very cold. He shivered and frowned. + +Lily and Tom found a good spot for their snowman. They started to roll big balls of snow. Lily worked hard and fast. She made the body and the head of the snowman. She found two sticks for the arms and a carrot for the nose. She looked for something to make the eyes and the mouth. + +Tom was lazy. He did not help Lily. He sat on the ground and watched her. He hugged his knees and shivered. He wished he was inside, where it was warm and cozy. + +"Tom, stop being lazy!" Lily said. "Help me finish the snowman. It will be fun!" + +"No, Lily, I'm too cold!" Tom said. "I want to go back. I don't like the snow. It's boring!" + +Lily was angry. She wanted to have fun with her brother. She wanted to make the best snowman ever. She had an idea. She saw a big present under the tree. It was for Tom. She took it and ran to the snowman. She put the present on the snowman's head. It looked like a funny hat. + +"Look, Tom, look!" Lily said. "The snowman has a present for you! Do you want to see what it is?" + +Tom looked up. He saw the present on the snowman's head. He was curious. He wanted to see what it was. He forgot about the cold. He got up and ran to the snowman. He reached for the present. + +But Lily was faster. She grabbed the present and ran away. She laughed and teased Tom. + +"Ha ha, Tom, you have to catch me first!" Lily said. "If you want the present, you have to play with me!" + +Tom chased Lily. He wanted the present. He also wanted to play with Lily. He smiled and laughed. He did not shiver anymore. He had fun. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw some birds, flowers and bugs. They were having fun. + +Then they smelled something bad. It was smoke. They looked around and saw a big fire in a house. The fire was red and orange and made loud noises. The smoke was gray and black and went up in the sky. Ben and Mia were scared. + +Their mom saw the fire too. She told them to come with her. She said they had to go away from the fire. She said the fire was dangerous and could hurt them. She said they had to call for help. She took their hands and ran to a safe place. + +On the way, they met a man. He was wearing a yellow hat and a blue coat. He had a big hose and a walkie-talkie. He was a firefighter. He said he was going to the fire to put it out. He said he was not afraid. He said he was brave and strong. + +Ben and Mia liked the firefighter. They wanted to be like him. They said thank you to him. They said they hoped he would be safe. They said they were sorry for the people in the house. The firefighter smiled at them. He said they were very kind and smart. He said they did the right thing to go away from the fire. He said he would mention them to his friends. He said they were his heroes. He said goodbye and went to the fire. + +Ben and Mia felt happy. They felt proud. They hugged their mom. They said they loved her. They said they loved the firefighter too. They said they wanted to be firefighters when they grew up. Their mom said they could be anything they wanted. She said she loved them too. She said they were her heroes too. She said they were safe. She said they were lucky. She said they were a family. +Sara and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and giraffes. They liked to watch them and learn their names. + +When they came to the pond, they saw a big green animal with many teeth. It was an alligator. It was lying very still on the ground. + +"Mom, what is that?" Sara asked. + +"That is an alligator, Sara. It is a reptile that lives in the water and on the land. It can swim very fast and bite very hard," mom said. + +"Is it sleeping?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben. It is not sleeping. It is just resting. Alligators do not move much when they are not hungry or in danger. They save their energy for when they need it," mom said. + +Sara and Ben looked at the alligator. They thought it was boring. They wanted to see something more lively. + +"Can we go see the penguins, mom? They are lively. They jump and slide and play in the snow," Sara said. + +"Sure, Sara. Let's go see the penguins. They are lively and fun. They belong to the cold places, not like the alligator that belongs to the warm places," mom said. + +Sara and Ben smiled. They followed mom to the penguin house. They saw many black and white birds that made funny noises and moved a lot. They liked the penguins better than the alligator. They thought the penguins were more friendly and happy. They stayed there for a long time and had a lot of fun. +Tim and Jen liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a reindeer. The reindeer was soft and brown, and had a red nose that lit up. They named him Rudy. + +One day, Tim and Jen went to the park with their mom. They brought Rudy with them, and put him on a bench while they played on the swings. They had fun, and forgot about Rudy for a while. + +When they came back to the bench, Rudy was gone. They looked around, but they could not find him. They asked some other kids, but they did not see him either. They felt sad and scared. They cried and called for Rudy. + +Then they saw a boy walking away with Rudy. He had a mean smile on his face. He did not value Rudy. He did not care that Rudy was Tim and Jen's original toy. He just wanted to take him away. + +Tim and Jen ran after the boy, and shouted at him to give Rudy back. But the boy was faster, and he ran out of the park. He got on a bus, and waved Rudy at them. He laughed and said, "Too bad, losers. Rudy is mine now." + +Tim and Jen watched the bus drive away, with Rudy inside. They felt very angry and sad. They hugged each other, and wished they had never left Rudy on the bench. They missed him so much. They hoped he would be okay, but they knew they would never see him again. The end. +Tommy loved his blanket very much. He took it everywhere with him. He slept with it, played with it, and hugged it when he was sad. His blanket was soft and warm and smelled like home. + +One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom and his blanket. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He left his blanket on a bench and climbed up the ladder. He slid down fast and felt happy. He wanted to do it again. + +But when he went back to the bench, his blanket was gone. He looked around and saw a big dog running away with his blanket in its mouth. The dog was scary and had sharp teeth. Tommy felt very sad and scared. He cried and ran to his mom. + +"Mommy, mommy, the dog took my blanket!" he sobbed. + +"Oh no, Tommy, I'm sorry. Let's go after the dog and get your blanket back," his mom said. She took his hand and followed the dog. + +They found the dog in a corner of the park. It was chewing on Tommy's blanket and making holes in it. Tommy's mom shouted at the dog and scared it away. She picked up Tommy's blanket and gave it to him. + +"Here you go, Tommy. Your blanket is back. But it's a bit torn and dirty. We need to restore it. Let's go home and wash it and sew it," she said. + +"Thank you, mommy. You are the best. I love you and I love my blanket," Tommy said. He hugged his mom and his blanket and felt happy again. He learned to be more careful with his blanket and never let it go. +Ben and Sam were friends who liked to ride their bikes. They had big pedals that made them go fast. One day, they saw a big puddle on the road. Ben wanted to splash in it, but Sam said no. + +"It is not nice to make a mess," Sam said. "And you might get wet and cold." + +But Ben did not listen. He rode his bike into the puddle and made a big splash. He laughed and said, "That was fun!" + +Sam was angry. He said, "You are not a good friend. You did not do what I said. And you made me wet too!" + +Ben felt guilty. He saw that Sam was right. He had been mean and silly. He said, "I am sorry, Sam. I should have listened to you. Can we still be friends?" + +Sam was still angry, but he saw that Ben was sorry. He said, "Yes, we can still be friends. But you have to be more careful next time. And you have to help me fill my bike tires with air. They are low from the puddle." + +Ben agreed. He said, "OK, Sam. I will help you fill your bike tires. And I will not splash in puddles anymore. I learned my lesson." + +They rode their bikes to the gas station and filled their tires with air. Then they rode back home and played together. They were happy again. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends and be respectful of their feelings. Do not do things that might hurt or annoy them. And if you make a mistake, say sorry and try to make up for it. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the yard. They see a big pile of leaves. They want to jump in the leaves. + +"Let's mix the leaves with the rake!" Tom says. He grabs the rake and starts to move the leaves around. + +"That sounds interesting!" Sue says. She grabs another rake and helps Tom. They make the leaves into different shapes and colors. + +They make a leaf house, a leaf boat, and a leaf dragon. They have fun with their leaf creations. + +"Look at our leaf dragon!" Tom says. "It is big and green and scary!" + +"Roar!" Sue says. She pretends to be the leaf dragon. She chases Tom around the yard. + +Tom and Sue laugh and run. They enjoy their leaf game. They are happy. +Tom and Anna were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They saw a big onion on the counter. Tom said, "Let's cut the onion and put it in the soup." + +Anna nodded and picked up a knife. She tried to cut the onion, but it was too hard. She pushed harder, but the knife slipped and cut her finger. She cried out, "Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurts!" + +Tom dropped the knife and ran to her. He saw blood on her finger and felt scared. He said, "Don't cry, Anna. I'll help you. Let me see your finger." + +He took her finger and wrapped it in a paper towel. He said, "We need to clean your finger and put a band-aid on it. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +He held her hand and led her to the bathroom. He turned on the faucet and washed her finger gently. He said, "It's okay, Anna. It's just a small cut. It will heal soon." + +He dried her finger and put a band-aid on it. He said, "There, all done. How do you feel?" + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You're a good brother. I feel better now." + +Tom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Anna. You're a brave sister. I'm sorry we couldn't make the soup." + +Anna said, "That's okay, Tom. We can make something else. How about a sandwich?" + +Tom said, "That sounds good, Anna. But first, let's clean the kitchen. We don't want to leave a mess." + +Anna nodded and said, "You're right, Tom. Let's clean the kitchen. And let's leave the onion alone. It's too mean." +Mia and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not play outside. They looked at the window and saw the rain and the wind. + +"Can we do something fun?" Mia asked her mom. + +"Sure, how about we make some cocoa?" Mom said. "You can help me in the kitchen." + +Mia and Ben smiled. They liked cocoa. It was warm and sweet and made them happy. They followed Mom to the kitchen and helped her get the milk, the cocoa powder and the sugar. + +Mom heated the milk in a pot and added the cocoa and the sugar. She stirred it with a spoon until it was smooth and hot. Then she poured it into four mugs. One for Mom, one for Dad, one for Mia and one for Ben. + +"Careful, it's very hot," Mom said. "Let's seat on the couch and drink it slowly." + +Mia and Ben carried their mugs to the living room. They seat on the couch with Mom and Dad and sipped their cocoa. They felt the warmth in their mouths and their bellies. They felt cozy and snug. + +The rain and the wind did not bother them anymore. They had cocoa and they had each other. They were not bored. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big book of spells in their attic. They opened the book and saw many strange words and pictures. + +"Let's try a spell!" Ben said. He pointed to a page that said "Make things fly". + +"Okay!" Lily said. They read the words out loud and waved their hands. Suddenly, their toys started to float in the air. They laughed and clapped. + +But then, their mom came into the room. She saw the mess and the flying toys. She was angry and scared. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "This is a dangerous book. You are not allowed to play with it. Give it to me right now!" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They gave the book to their mom and said they were sorry. Their mom hugged them and said she loved them. + +"Spells are not for children. They can be harmful or tricky. You should only play with safe and fun things. And you should always ask me before you touch something you don't know." she said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They asked their mom if they could play with their blocks instead. Their mom smiled and said yes. She was generous and kind. She helped them build a castle with their blocks. They had a good time together. +Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their bikes in the park. Sara had a pink bike with a basket and a bell. Ben had a blue bike with a horn and a light. They liked to race each other and see who was faster. + +One day, Sara said to Ben, "Let's play marry. You can be the groom and I can be the bride. We can have a pretend wedding in the park." + +Ben did not like this idea. He said, "No, I don't want to play marry. That's a silly game. I want to play pedal. We can go around the park and see who can pedal the most times." + +Sara was stubborn. She said, "No, I want to play marry. It's a fun game. You have to do what I say, because I'm the bride." + +Ben was stubborn too. He said, "No, I don't have to do what you say, because I'm the groom. And I don't want to play marry. I want to play pedal." + +They argued and argued. They did not play together. They did not have fun. They were both sad and angry. + +Then, a big dog came to the park. It barked and chased Sara and Ben. They were scared. They ran to their bikes and pedaled away. They pedaled as fast as they could. They pedaled together. + +They escaped the dog. They were safe. They were happy. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and smiled. + +They decided to play both games. They played marry and pedal. They had a pretend wedding and a pretend race. They were best friends again. They had fun. +Anna and Ben loved to go to the zoo with their mom. They liked to see all the different animals and learn their names. Mom said they could see the zebras today, because they were Anna's favorite. Ben liked the zebras too, but he also wanted to see the lions and the monkeys. + +But when they got to the zoo, they saw a big sign that said "Zebra Exhibit Closed". Anna was very sad. She asked mom why they could not see the zebras. + +Mom said, "The zebras are getting a new home. They need some time to get used to it. They will be back soon, don't worry." + +Anna said, "But I want to see them now. They are so pretty and charming. They have black and white stripes and long tails." + +Mom said, "I know, honey. But sometimes we have to wait for the things we love. How about we see the other animals first, and then we come back later and see if the zebras are ready?" + +Ben said, "Yes, let's do that. Maybe the lions and the monkeys will be fun too." + +Anna nodded, but she still felt sad. She hoped the zebras would not be delayed too long. + +They walked around the zoo and saw many animals. They saw the lions roar and the monkeys swing. They saw the elephants spray water and the giraffes stretch their necks. They saw the penguins slide and the flamingos stand on one leg. They had a lot of fun, but Anna always looked for the zebras. + +Finally, they came back to the zebra exhibit. The sign was gone, and the gate was open. Anna ran to the fence and looked for the zebras. She saw them in their new home. It was bigger and greener than before. There were trees and grass and a pond. The zebras looked happy and healthy. They ran and played and nibbled on the leaves. + +Anna smiled and clapped her hands. She said, "Look, mom, look, Ben. The zebras are here. They are so beautiful and charming. They have black and white stripes and long tails." + +Mom said, "Yes, they are. And they are worth the wait, don't you think?" + +Ben said, "Yes, they are. They are the best animals in the zoo." + +Anna said, "Yes, they are. They are my favorite animals in the world." + +They watched the zebras for a long time. They felt happy and grateful. They learned that sometimes delays can lead to surprises. And they learned that zebras are charming. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to eat cereal for breakfast. Mommy gives them each a bowl of cereal and a spoon. Lily and Max sit at the table and start to eat. + +But Max is not happy. He wants Lily's cereal. He thinks it looks better than his. He tries to grab Lily's bowl, but Lily holds it tight. "No, Max, this is mine!" Lily says. "You have your own cereal!" + +Max gets angry. He pushes Lily's bowl hard. The bowl falls off the table and breaks. The cereal spills on the floor. Lily starts to cry. Mommy hears the noise and comes to see what happened. + +"Max, what did you do?" Mommy asks. She sees the broken bowl, the cereal, and the crying Lily. She is very upset. "You pushed Lily's bowl and made a mess! That was not nice, Max! You need to say sorry to Lily and help me clean up!" + +Max feels bad. He knows he did something wrong. He looks at Lily and says, "Sorry, Lily. I was mean. I should not have pushed your bowl. Can we share cereal next time?" + +Lily stops crying. She is still sad, but she forgives Max. She says, "It's okay, Max. I accept your sorry. We can share cereal next time. But you have to be gentle and ask first." + +Mommy smiles. She is glad that Lily and Max are making up. She says, "That's very good, Lily and Max. I'm proud of you for saying sorry and forgiving. Now let's clean up this mess and get some more cereal." +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They pretend that their cars can go fast and do tricks. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there are many shiny balls. The balls are smooth and round. They are red, blue, green, yellow and purple. Anna and Ben are curious. They take some balls and put them in their cars. + +They go back to their playroom and start to play. They push their cars and make them zoom and jump. The balls roll and bounce inside the cars. They make funny noises and sparkle in the light. Anna and Ben laugh and clap. + +But then, something happens. One of the balls falls out of a car and hits another ball. The balls start to glow and crackle. They make loud sounds and flash. Anna and Ben are scared. They cover their ears and eyes. + +The balls explode and scatter. They fly in all directions and hit the walls and the ceiling. They break the blocks and the books. They make holes and smoke. They are very powerful and impressive. But they are also very dangerous and scary. + +Anna and Ben run out of the playroom and call for their mom and dad. They are sorry and sad. They do not want to play with the balls anymore. They only want to play with their toy cars. They hope that their mom and dad will not be angry. They hope that their playroom will be okay. They hug each other and wait. +Lily liked to play in the soil. She had a bucket and a spade and she made hills and holes. She found worms and bugs and stones. She was happy. + +But Tom did not like to play in the soil. He had a fancy car and a fancy hat. He did not want to get dirty. He was grumpy. + +One day, Tom saw Lily playing in the soil. He wanted to play with her bucket and spade. He ran to her and grabbed them. He said, "These are mine now. Go away." + +Lily was sad. She said, "No, Tom. These are mine. Give them back. You are not nice." + +Tom did not listen. He started to dig with the spade. He hit a big rock. The spade broke. He was angry. + +Lily saw the broken spade. She said, "See, Tom. You broke my spade. You should stop being mean. You should say sorry." + +Tom did not say sorry. He threw the bucket and the broken spade at Lily. He said, "I don't care. I have a fancy car and a fancy hat. I don't need your silly soil." + +Lily dodged the bucket and the spade. She picked up a handful of soil. She threw it at Tom. She said, "Take that, Tom. You are a bad boy. You need a time out." + +The soil hit Tom in the face. He was shocked. He dropped his fancy car and his fancy hat. He started to cry. + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She said, "Tom, I'm sorry I threw soil at you. But you should not take my things and break them. You should share and be kind." + +Tom wiped his face. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry I took your things and broke them. You are right. I should share and be kind. Can we be friends?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Tom. We can be friends. But you have to wash your face and your fancy car and your fancy hat. They are very dirty." + +Tom nodded. He said, "OK, Lily. I will wash them. And then we can play together. Maybe we can play in the soil. It looks fun." + +Lily hugged Tom. She said, "That sounds good, Tom. I'm glad you are not grumpy anymore. Playing in the soil is fun. And you can use my bucket and spade. But don't break them again." + +Tom hugged Lily. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. And your bucket and spade are very cool. I won't break them again." + +They walked to the tap. They washed their faces and their toys and their clothes. They laughed and talked. They were happy. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to visit Sue's dad at his work. He works in a lab. He makes things with tubes and bottles and machines. + +"Can we see your lab, dad?" Sue asks. + +"Sure, but you have to be very careful. Some things are hot or sharp or messy. And you have to listen to me and do what I say. OK?" Sue's dad says. + +"OK, dad. We will be good," Sue says. Tim nods. + +They follow Sue's dad to his lab. He shows them some of the things he makes. He lets them touch some things that are safe and fun. They see colors and bubbles and shapes. They are happy. + +But then, Tim notices something shiny on a table. It looks like a toy. He wants to play with it. He does not listen to Sue's dad. He does not see the sign that says "Do not touch". He reaches for the shiny thing. + +"Tim, no!" Sue's dad shouts. + +But it is too late. Tim touches the shiny thing. It makes a loud noise. It makes a big flash. It makes smoke. It makes a mess. + +Tim is scared. Sue is scared. Sue's dad is scared. They all cough and blink. They all run out of the lab. + +"Are you OK, Tim?" Sue's dad asks. + +"I'm OK, I think. But I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, Sue. I did a bad thing. I did not listen. I did not do what you said. I made a mess," Tim says. + +"It's OK, Tim. I'm glad you are not hurt. But you have to be more careful. You have to follow the rules. You have to respect the lab. The lab is not a place to play. The lab is a place to work and learn," Sue's dad says. + +"I know, dad. I'm sorry. I will be more careful. I will follow the rules. I will respect the lab. Can we still be friends?" Tim asks. + +"Of course, Tim. We are still friends. But next time, let's play somewhere else. Somewhere safer and more fun. Like the park or the zoo or the library. OK?" Sue's dad says. + +"OK, dad. That sounds good. Thank you for showing us your lab. It was very cool. But also very scary. I don't want to go there again," Tim says. + +"Me neither," Sue says. + +They all hug and smile. They all say sorry and thank you. They all go to the park and have a nice day. +Anna was very happy. She had a new toy. It was a big bear. It was soft and brown. It had a red bow on its neck. Anna hugged the bear and named it Coco. + +"Look, Mommy, this is Coco!" Anna said. "He is my new friend!" + +Mommy smiled and said, "He is very cute, Anna. Where did you get him?" + +"Grandma gave him to me. She said he is special. He can talk and sing and tell stories." + +Mommy was surprised. She did not know that Coco was a special toy. She wondered how he could do all those things. + +"Can you show me, Anna? How does Coco talk and sing and tell stories?" + +Anna nodded and pressed a button on Coco's paw. Coco opened his eyes and said, "Hello, Anna. I am Coco. I am happy to be your friend. Do you want to hear a song?" + +Anna clapped her hands and said, "Yes, please, Coco. Sing me a song!" + +Coco sang a song about bears and honey and trees. Anna liked the song. She sang along with Coco. Mommy liked the song too. She thought Coco was a very nice toy. + +After the song, Coco said, "Anna, I have a secret to tell you. Can you come closer?" + +Anna leaned in and said, "What is it, Coco?" + +Coco whispered, "I love you, Anna. But I also love ice cream. Can you please take me to the freezer and give me some ice cream?" + +Anna giggled and said, "OK, Coco. I love you too. And I love ice cream. Come on, let's go to the freezer and get some ice cream." + +Anna took Coco by the hand and ran to the kitchen. She opened the freezer and looked for ice cream. She found a big tub of vanilla ice cream. She took a spoon and scooped some ice cream for Coco and herself. + +"Here you go, Coco. Enjoy your ice cream!" Anna said. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are the best!" Coco said. + +They ate their ice cream and smiled. They were happy. They were friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the pool. Lily has a furry toy bear. She calls him Bobo. Ben has a plastic boat. He calls it Zoom. + +One day, they go to the pool with their mom and dad. Lily and Ben are very happy. They put on their swimsuits and jump in the water. They splash and laugh. + +"Look at Bobo!" Lily says. "He can dive in the water. He is very brave." She throws Bobo in the deep end of the pool. Bobo sinks to the bottom. + +"Look at Zoom!" Ben says. "He can go very fast on the water. He has a lot of speed." He pushes Zoom across the pool. Zoom makes a big wave. + +Lily and Ben swim to get their toys. Lily reaches Bobo and hugs him. "You are wet and cold, Bobo. But I love you." She brings him to the shallow end of the pool. + +Ben catches Zoom and holds him. "You are fun and fast, Zoom. But I want to share you." He brings him to the shallow end of the pool. + +Lily and Ben smile at each other. They trade their toys. "Can I play with Zoom?" Lily asks. "Can I play with Bobo?" Ben asks. They nod and say yes. + +They play with each other's toys. They dive and speed and have fun. They are good friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cage in the park. They are curious. They go near the cage. + +Inside the cage, there is a leopard. The leopard is sad and angry. He does not like the cage. He wants to be free. He growls at Tom and Mia. + +"Hello, leopard," Tom says. "Why are you in the cage?" + +The leopard does not answer. He scratches the cage. He tries to break it. + +"Maybe he is hungry," Mia says. "Let's give him some food." + +Mia has a sandwich in her bag. She takes it out. She throws it to the leopard. + +The leopard does not want the sandwich. He wants meat. He is more angry. He sees Mia's hand. He thinks it is meat. He jumps at the cage. He bites Mia's hand. + +Mia screams. She is hurt. She is bleeding. Tom is scared. He runs to get help. + +The leopard is still in the cage. He is still sad and angry. He does not care about Mia. He is not compassionate. He is a wild animal. +Lily was a curious girl. She liked to look at everything and ask questions. One day, she saw a big red button on the wall of her house. She wondered what it did. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what is that button for?" + +Her mom said, "That button is very important, Lily. It is for emergencies only. You must never touch it, or something bad will happen." + +Lily nodded, but she was still curious. She wanted to know what kind of bad thing would happen. She thought maybe it would make a funny noise, or a light, or a toy. + +When her mom was busy in the kitchen, Lily sneaked to the wall and reached for the button. She thought, "I will just touch it a little bit, and then I will run away. Nothing bad will happen." + +But she was wrong. As soon as she touched the button, a loud siren went off, and the whole house started to shake. Lily screamed and ran to her mom, but it was too late. The button was a self-destruct button, and it made the house explode. Lily and her mom did not complete their day. They were gone. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play at the beach. They have a bucket and a shovel. They make sand castles and dig holes. + +One day, they see a big boat on the water. It has many colors and flags. They look at the boat and wonder what is inside. + +"Maybe it has toys and candy," Sam says. + +"Maybe it has books and clothes," Mia says. + +They wish they could go on the boat and see. + +A man comes out of the boat. He has a beard and a hat. He smiles and waves at them. He walks to the shore and brings a big bag. + +"Hello, little ones," he says. "I am a sailor. I travel to many places and bring gifts. Do you want to see what I have for you?" + +Sam and Mia nod. They are curious and excited. The man opens the bag and shows them many things. He has balls and dolls, puzzles and crayons, hats and scarves, and more. + +"You can choose one thing each," he says. "I am generous and I like to share." + +Sam and Mia thank the man. They look at the bag and think. They want to pick something they like, but they also want to be kind to each other. + +Sam sees a red ball. He likes to bounce and throw balls. He reaches for the ball, but then he sees Mia's eyes. She likes balls too. He remembers how she let him play with her ball yesterday. + +He puts the ball back and picks a blue hat instead. He likes hats too. He puts it on his head and smiles. + +Mia sees a yellow doll. She likes to hug and dress dolls. She reaches for the doll, but then she sees Sam's eyes. He likes dolls too. He remembers how he gave her his doll when she was sad. + +She puts the doll back and picks a green scarf instead. She likes scarves too. She wraps it around her neck and smiles. + +The man sees what they do. He is happy and proud. He claps his hands and says, "You are very generous and kind. You think of each other before yourself. That is a wonderful thing. You know what? You can have two things each. Go ahead and pick another thing." + +Sam and Mia are surprised and happy. They hug the man and say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +They look at the bag again and pick another thing. Sam picks the red ball and Mia picks the yellow doll. They are happy with their choices. They show each other their gifts and play with them. + +The man watches them and smiles. He says, "You are welcome, welcome, welcome! I am glad to see you happy. You are good friends. I hope you enjoy your gifts and have fun at the beach. I have to go now, but maybe I will see you again someday. Goodbye, little ones!" + +He waves at them and walks back to the boat. He sails away and disappears on the horizon. + +Sam and Mia wave back and say, "Goodbye, sailor! Thank you for your gifts! You are very generous!" + +They look at each other and smile. They are happy and grateful. They have new gifts and a new friend. They have each other. They play at the beach and have a wonderful day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big red ball near the fence. They wanted to play with it. + +"Look, a ball!" Tom said. "Let's get it!" + +But Lily saw something else. She saw a wire on the fence. It was thin and shiny and had sparks. She remembered what Mommy had told her. + +"Tom, stop!" Lily said. "Don't touch the wire! It is bad. It can hurt you!" + +Tom heard Lily and stopped. He looked at the wire. He saw the sparks too. He felt scared. + +"Why is the wire bad?" Tom asked. + +Lily said, "Mommy said the wire is for the cows. It keeps them in the field. It is warm and zappy. If you touch it, it will zap you. It will make you cry. It is not for playing." + +Tom nodded. He did not want to be zapped. He did not want to cry. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. You warned me." + +Lily smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good brother. Let's find another ball." + +They ran away from the fence. They found another ball. It was blue and soft and bouncy. They played with it. They had fun. They were happy. +One day, a chubby cat named Fluffy saw a store with many fish in a big glass. He wanted to eat the fish, so he sneaked inside the store when no one was looking. He jumped on the glass and tried to break it with his paws, but it was too hard. He meowed and scratched, but the fish did not come out. + +Soon, the store owner came back and saw Fluffy. He was angry and grabbed Fluffy by the neck. He said, "You bad cat! You tried to steal my fish! I will not let you go!" He put Fluffy in a cage and locked it. Fluffy was scared and sad. He wished he had not been greedy. + +In the next cage, there was a small bird named Chirpy. He saw Fluffy and felt sorry for him. He said, "Hello, cat. Why are you here?" Fluffy told him his story and said, "I am sorry, bird. I was hungry and foolish. Now I am trapped and alone." Chirpy said, "Don't worry, cat. I have a plan. I can help you." + +Chirpy was a smart bird. He had learned how to open cages with his beak. He said to Fluffy, "Listen, cat. When the store owner is not here, I will open your cage and you can run away. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will not eat me or any other bird. You have to be kind and share your food with others. Can you do that?" Fluffy nodded and said, "Yes, bird. I promise. Thank you for helping me." + +The next day, when the store owner went out, Chirpy opened his cage and flew to Fluffy's cage. He opened it and said, "Quick, cat. Run away. Be free." Fluffy thanked Chirpy and ran out of the store. He was happy and grateful. He learned his lesson. He never tried to steal fish again. He made friends with Chirpy and other animals. He shared his food and played with them. He was a good cat. +Sara liked to play in the yard with her toys. She had a ball, a doll, a car and a rake. She used the rake to make piles of leaves and then jump in them. She had fun. + +One day, she saw a new boy next door. He was playing with a bike. Sara was curious. She wanted to meet him and see his bike. She took her rake and walked to the fence. + +"Hi, I am Sara. What is your name?" she asked. + +"Hi, I am Ben. This is my bike. It is red and fast." he said. + +"Can I see your bike? It looks nice." she said. + +"Sure, you can see it. Can I see your rake? It looks fun." he said. + +They showed each other their toys and talked. They became friends. They decided to play together. Sara let Ben use her rake and Ben let Sara ride his bike. They had fun. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat snacks. One day, Mom says it is time for lunch. She makes rice and chicken for them. Lily and Ben are hungry and happy. + +But when they sit at the table, they see that the rice is dry. It is not soft and wet like they like it. It is hard and crunchy. Lily and Ben do not want to eat it. They make faces and say "yuck". + +Mom sees them and says "You have to eat your rice. It is good for you. It will make you strong and smart". But Lily and Ben shake their heads. They say "no, no, no". They push their plates away. + +Mom is not happy. She says "You are being rude and wasteful. There are many children who have no rice to eat. You should be thankful for what you have". But Lily and Ben do not listen. They say "we want something else". + +Mom is angry. She says "You have to eat what I give you. Or you will get no dessert". She takes away their plates and puts them in the sink. She says "You can go to your room and think about what you did". + +Lily and Ben are sad and mad. They start to cry and scream. They do not want to go to their room. They want to eat something else. They want to have dessert. They do not like dry rice. They do not like Mom. They do not like lunch. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a sandbox, a swing, and a slide. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and fluffy. + +One day, they decided to make a castle in the sandbox. They used buckets, shovels, and sticks to shape the sand. They worked hard and had fun. They were very proud of their castle. They called it the Wonder Castle. + +"Look at our castle, Spot!" Tom said. "It is the best castle ever!" + +Spot wagged his tail and barked. He ran towards the castle and jumped on it. He wanted to play too. But he was too big and heavy. He knocked down the castle and made a mess. + +"Spot, no!" Lily cried. "You ruined our castle!" + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They shouted at Spot and pushed him away. Spot felt sorry and confused. He did not mean to hurt their castle. He just wanted to join them. + +"Bad dog!" Tom said. "Go away!" + +Spot hung his head and walked away. He lay down under a tree and whimpered. + +Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw the broken castle, the dirty sand, and the unhappy children. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +"Spot destroyed our castle!" Lily said. "He is a bad dog!" + +Mom looked at Spot and saw his sad eyes. She knew he did not do it on purpose. She also knew that Tom and Lily loved him. + +"Spot is not a bad dog," she said. "He is a good dog who made a mistake. He was just curious and playful. He did not know that your castle was important to you." + +Tom and Lily thought about what Mom said. They realized that they were too harsh on Spot. He was their friend and he did not deserve to be yelled at. + +"Maybe we were too mean to Spot," Tom said. + +"Yeah, maybe we were," Lily said. + +They went to Spot and hugged him. They said they were sorry and that they still loved him. + +Spot licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was happy again. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's very nice of you, Tom and Lily. You are very modest and kind. You know how to forgive and make up. Now, how about we wash the sand off and have some cookies?" + +Tom and Lily agreed. They followed Mom to the house, holding Spot's leash. They washed their hands and feet, and Spot's fur. They ate some cookies and drank some milk. They felt better and learned a lesson. + +They decided to make another castle tomorrow, but this time, they would let Spot help them. They knew he would be careful and gentle. They also knew he would be happy to be part of their wonder. +Ben liked to watch the circus. He liked the clowns, the horses, the lions and the elephants. But his favorite was the goat. The goat could do many tricks. He could jump, balance, roll and dance. Ben wanted to be friends with the goat. + +One day, Ben's mom took him to the circus again. She said they could go backstage and meet the animals. Ben was very happy. He ran to find the goat. He saw him in a cage. He looked sad and tired. Ben felt sorry for him. + +"Hello, goat," Ben said. "Do you want to play with me?" The goat looked at Ben and nodded. Ben opened the cage and took the goat out. He hugged him and petted him. The goat liked Ben. He followed him everywhere. + +Ben and the goat had fun. They played with a ball, a rope and a hat. They made each other laugh. Ben forgot about the time. He did not hear the bell that meant the show was about to start. + +Suddenly, a man came and shouted at Ben. He was the circus boss. He was angry. He said Ben had taken his star goat. He said the goat had to perform now. He said it was a difficult act. He said Ben had to go away. + +Ben was scared. He did not want to leave the goat. He did not want the goat to do the difficult act. He wanted the goat to be happy. He had an idea. He whispered to the goat. The goat nodded. + +The circus boss took the goat to the stage. He put him on a stool. He gave him a horn. He told him to play a song. The goat looked at the horn. He looked at Ben. He smiled. + +The goat did not play the song. He played a loud noise. He made the horn sound like a car, a train, a siren and a fart. The people in the audience laughed. The circus boss did not laugh. He was furious. He tried to stop the goat. But the goat jumped off the stool. He ran to Ben. He knocked the circus boss down. He took Ben's hand. They ran away. + +Ben and the goat were free. They found Ben's mom. She was surprised. She asked Ben what happened. Ben told her the story. She smiled. She said Ben and the goat were brave and clever. She said they could keep the goat. She said they would find a new home for him. + +Ben was very happy. He hugged the goat. The goat hugged him back. They were friends. They had a new adventure. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the dark. They had a flashlight to help them find each other. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then said, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +She turned on the flashlight and looked around the room. She saw a big closet and thought Tom might be hiding there. She opened the door and pointed the flashlight inside. She saw a lot of clothes and boxes, but no Tom. She said, "Tom, are you in here?" + +Suddenly, the flashlight went off. Lily was scared. She could not see anything. She felt helpless. She tried to turn on the flashlight again, but it did not work. She said, "Tom, where are you? I can't see!" + +Tom heard Lily's voice. He was hiding under the bed. He felt sorry for Lily. He wanted to help her. He crawled out from under the bed and said, "Lily, I'm here! Don't be afraid!" + +He reached for the flashlight and shook it. It turned on again. He shone it on Lily's face. She was happy to see him. She said, "Tom, you found me! How did you do that?" + +Tom said, "I don't know. The flashlight just vanished and then came back. Maybe it has magic. Do you want to play again?" + +Lily said, "Yes, but let's play in the light. I don't like the dark. It's too spooky." + +They hugged and ran to the switch. They turned on the light and laughed. They were not scared anymore. They were glad they had each other. +Tom and Ben were brothers who liked to play with their toy soldiers. They had many soldiers of different colors and shapes. They made forts and camps and pretended to have wars. They had fun making noises and stories. + +One day, their mom told them to tidy their room. She said they had too many toys and they should give some away. Tom and Ben did not want to do that. They loved their soldiers and did not want to share. They said no to their mom and hid their soldiers under the bed. + +Their mom was angry and sad. She said they were selfish and unkind. She said they did not believe in sharing and caring. She said they had to learn a lesson. She took away all their soldiers and gave them to a charity. She said they would go to children who had nothing and who had real wars. + +Tom and Ben were shocked and sad. They cried and begged their mom to give them back their soldiers. They said they were sorry and they would tidy their room. They said they would believe in sharing and caring. But it was too late. Their mom said they had to live with their choice. She said they had to grow up and be better. + +Tom and Ben had no soldiers to play with. They had no fun and no stories. They had only an empty room and a broken heart. They wished they had listened to their mom and been tidy. They wished they had not been selfish and unkind. They wished they had not lost their soldiers and their war. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a vendor on the street. He had many toys and books. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, boys. Do you want to buy something?" + +Tom and Sam ran to the vendor. They looked at the toys and books. They wanted everything. But they had no money. They asked the vendor, "Can we have some toys and books for free?" + +The vendor shook his head. He said, "No, boys. You have to pay for them. These toys and books belong to me. They are not yours." + +Tom and Sam were sad. They really wanted the toys and books. They had an idea. They waited until the vendor was busy with other people. Then they grabbed some toys and books and ran away. + +The vendor saw them. He was angry. He shouted, "Stop, thieves! Give me back my toys and books!" He chased them. He caught them. He took back his toys and books. He scolded them, "You are very naughty boys. You should not steal. Stealing is wrong. I will tell your parents what you did." + +Tom and Sam were scared. They cried. They said, "We are sorry, vendor. We just wanted to play. Please don't tell our parents." + +But the vendor did not listen. He called their parents. Their parents came. They were very angry. They said, "Tom and Sam, how could you do this? You have disappointed us. You have to apologize to the vendor. And you have to stay in your rooms for a week. No more playing with cars and balls." + +Tom and Sam said, "We are sorry, vendor. We are sorry, parents." But it was too late. They had to go home. They had to stay in their rooms. They had no toys and books. They had no fun. They had a bad ending. +Lily loved to look at the lovely butterflies in the garden. She liked their bright colors and how they flew from flower to flower. She wanted to have a butterfly of her own, but she knew she could not catch them. + +One day, she saw a big butterfly with blue and yellow wings. It was the most beautiful butterfly she had ever seen. She followed it with her eyes until it landed on a pink rose. She tiptoed closer and reached out her hand. + +"Hello, butterfly," she whispered. "Can I borrow you for a little while? I just want to hold you and look at you. I will be very gentle and I will give you back." + +The butterfly did not answer. It did not move. Lily thought it was sleeping. She carefully picked it up and held it in her palm. She smiled and felt happy. + +But then, the butterfly woke up. It was scared and confused. It did not like to be borrowed. It wanted to fly away. It flapped its wings and tried to escape. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. The butterfly had scratched her finger with its sharp legs. She dropped it and it flew away. She felt sad and sorry. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the scratch. Her mom hugged her and put a band-aid on it. + +"It's okay, Lily," her mom said. "Butterflies are not for borrowing. They are for watching and admiring. They are free and happy in the garden. Next time, just say hello and let them be." + +Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She still loved butterflies, but she never tried to borrow them again. She watched them from a distance and enjoyed their lovely colors and movements. She was happy, too. +Sam and Mia were thirsty. They walked in the hot sand for a long time. They saw a green spot far away. They hoped it was an oasis. + +"Look, Sam, maybe there is water there!" Mia said. + +"Let's go, Mia, maybe we can get a drink!" Sam said. + +They ran to the green spot. It was an oasis. There was a small pool of water and some palm trees. They were happy. + +They drank some water and rested under a tree. They saw a camel drinking from the pool. The camel had a big hump on its back. + +"Wow, look at that camel, Mia. He can store water in his hump. He is lucky!" Sam said. + +"I wish I had a hump like that, Sam. Then I would not be thirsty so often!" Mia said. + +They felt jealous of the camel. They wanted to have a hump too. + +The camel saw them and came closer. He looked at them with his big eyes. + +"Hello, little ones. Why are you jealous of me?" the camel asked. + +"We are jealous of your hump, Mr. Camel. You can store water in it and drink whenever you want!" Sam said. + +"But you have something I don't have, little ones. You have each other. You can share water and help each other. You are not alone!" the camel said. + +Sam and Mia looked at each other. They realized the camel was right. They had a friend. They were not alone. + +They smiled and hugged each other. + +"Thank you, Mr. Camel. You are very wise. We are sorry we were jealous of you. You are our friend too!" Mia said. + +The camel smiled and nodded. + +"You are welcome, little ones. You are very kind. You are my friends too!" the camel said. + +They all drank some more water and enjoyed the oasis. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big tree in the park. The tree has many vines. The vines are long and green. + +One day, Tom and Mia go to the park. They see the vines. They want to do something fun. They have an idea. + +"Let's swing on the vines!" Tom says. + +"Yes, let's do that!" Mia says. + +They run to the tree. They grab the vines. They swing high in the air. They feel happy and free. + +"Look at me, I'm a monkey!" Tom says. + +"Me too, I'm a monkey!" Mia says. + +They laugh and swing. They have fun. They do not see the park keeper. The park keeper is angry. He does not like children swinging on the vines. He thinks they will break the tree. + +"Hey, you two, stop that!" the park keeper shouts. + +Tom and Mia hear the park keeper. They are scared. They let go of the vines. They fall to the ground. They run away. They do not swing on the vines again. They find another game to play. +Tom and Anna are twins. They share a room and a bed. One night, they hear a loud noise. It is the alarm. The alarm says there is a fire in the house. + +Tom and Anna are scared. They shiver under the blanket. They do not know what to do. + +"Tom, we have to get out!" Anna says. "We have to find Mom and Dad!" + +"But it is dark and smoky!" Tom says. "I do not want to go!" + +Anna hugs Tom. She is brave and strong. She says, "We can do it, Tom. We have to be strong. Mom and Dad are waiting for us. Come on, follow me!" + +Anna takes Tom's hand. They get out of the bed. They crawl on the floor. They follow the light and the sound of the alarm. They see Mom and Dad in the hallway. They run to them. + +Mom and Dad are happy and relieved. They hug Tom and Anna. They say, "We are so proud of you, Tom and Anna! You are very brave and strong! You did the right thing!" + +They take Tom and Anna outside. They see the firemen and the trucks. They see the water and the hose. They see the fire go out. + +Tom and Anna are safe and warm. They stop shivering. They smile and say, "We love you, Mom and Dad!" +Tim was a little boy who loved to play with his spoon. He liked to pretend that his spoon was a mighty sword that could fight dragons and monsters. He would swing his spoon in the air and make loud noises like "Zap!" and "Pow!". + +One day, he took his spoon to the park and met a girl named Lily. Lily had a doll that she liked to hug and talk to. She saw Tim playing with his spoon and asked him what he was doing. Tim said, "I am a mighty hero with a mighty sword. I can defeat any enemy with my spoon." + +Lily laughed and said, "That's silly. A spoon is not a sword. A spoon is for eating soup and cereal. You can't fight with a spoon. You need a real sword." + +Tim felt angry and said, "No, you are silly. A spoon can be anything I want it to be. I just have to believe. Believing makes things real. You don't know how to play." + +Lily felt hurt and said, "No, you are mean. Believing doesn't make things real. You are just pretending. You don't know how to be nice." + +They started to argue and shout at each other. They did not want to play together anymore. They turned away and went to different parts of the park. + +After a while, they both felt lonely and bored. They missed having a friend to play with. They looked at each other from afar and wondered if they should say sorry. They both wanted to have fun and share their toys. + +They decided to walk towards each other and apologize. They said, "I'm sorry for being silly/mean. I was wrong. Can we be friends?" + +They smiled and nodded. They hugged and said, "Yes, we can be friends. We can play together and learn from each other. We can use our imagination and be kind." + +They took turns playing with the spoon and the doll. They pretended that the spoon was a sword, a wand, a rocket, and a microphone. They pretended that the doll was a princess, a doctor, a singer, and a teacher. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. + +They learned that believing is good, but not enough. They also needed to respect and appreciate each other's differences. They learned that a spoon and a doll can be more than just a spoon and a doll. They can be tools for creativity and friendship. They learned that being mighty is not about having a strong weapon, but having a strong heart. +Sara and Tom were young and liked to bake. They baked cakes and pies and cookies with their mom. One day, they wanted to bake a big cake for their dad. They asked their mom if they could use the oven. Their mom said yes, but told them to be careful and not to open the oven door until the cake was done. + +Sara and Tom mixed the flour and the eggs and the sugar and the butter in a big bowl. They poured the batter into a round pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer for 30 minutes and waited. They were very excited to see their cake. + +While they were waiting, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big bear. The bear was hungry and smelled the cake. The bear wanted the cake. The bear broke the fence and came into the yard. Sara and Tom were scared. They ran to their mom and told her about the bear. + +Their mom grabbed a broom and went outside. She tried to scare the bear away. She shouted and waved the broom. But the bear was not afraid. The bear was angry. The bear attacked their mom and knocked her down. Sara and Tom screamed and cried. + +The timer beeped. The cake was done. But Sara and Tom did not care about the cake. They cared about their mom. They ran to their mom and hugged her. But their mom did not hug them back. Their mom was hurt. Their mom was not moving. Their mom was gone. The bear ate the cake and left. Sara and Tom were alone and sad. The end. +Lily and Max were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars and planes. Lily had a red car and Max had a blue plane. They zoomed and vroomed around the grass and the swings. + +"Look, Lily, I can fly!" Max said, holding his plane up in the air. + +"Wow, Max, you are so fast!" Lily said, watching him. She wondered how it felt to fly in the sky. She wished she had a plane too. + +"Are you hungry, Lily?" Max asked, landing his plane next to her car. + +"Yes, Max, I am hungry. Do you have a snack?" Lily asked, rubbing her tummy. + +"Sure, Lily, I have a snack. I have a banana and a cookie. Do you want to share?" Max said, opening his backpack. + +"Yes, please, Max, I love bananas and cookies. Thank you for sharing!" Lily said, smiling. + +They sat down on a bench and ate their snack. They broke the banana and the cookie in half and gave each other a piece. They chewed and swallowed and licked their fingers. + +"Mmm, this is a yummy snack, Max. You are a good friend, Lily," they said to each other. + +They were glad they had each other and their toys and their snack. They finished eating and went back to playing. They had a lot of fun in the park. +Lily and Ben were excited to play with the board. The board had many shapes and colors on it. They could remove the shapes and put them back in the right holes. + +Lily took a red circle and tried to fit it in a square hole. It did not work. She tried again and again, but the circle was too round. Ben saw her and said, "No, Lily, that is not right. The circle goes in the circle hole. Like this." He showed her how to remove the circle and put it in the right hole. + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are smart. Can you help me with the other shapes?" Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Lily, I can. Let's do it together." They removed the other shapes and put them in the right holes. They matched the blue triangle, the yellow star, the green square, and the orange heart. + +They were very happy and proud of themselves. They had finished the board. They clapped their hands and hugged each other. They said, "We did it! We did it!" They looked at the board and saw how pretty it was. They decided to remove the shapes and do it again. They loved playing with the board. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and games. One day, they go to Ben's house. Ben has a new computer. It is big and shiny. It is expensive. Ben's mom says he can use it for one hour. + +Anna and Ben want to play a game on the computer. They find a game with cars. The cars can race on the road. Anna and Ben like to race. They take turns to drive the cars. They press the buttons and make the cars go fast. They have fun. + +But then, something bad happens. Anna presses a button too hard. The button breaks. The computer makes a loud noise. The screen goes black. The game stops. Anna and Ben are scared. They broke the computer. It is expensive. Ben's mom will be angry. + +They run to Ben's room. They hide under the bed. They hope Ben's mom will not find out. They are sorry. They did not mean to break the computer. They just wanted to race. +Lily likes music. She likes to sing and dance. She has a toy piano. She plays the piano every day. + +One day, Lily wants to play the piano with her friend Ben. She calls Ben on the phone. "Hi, Ben. Do you want to play music with me?" she asks. + +"Yes, Lily. I like music too. Can I come to your house?" Ben says. + +"Sure, Ben. Come now. I have a piano. We can play together," Lily says. + +Ben comes to Lily's house. They go to Lily's room. They see the piano. Lily plays a song. Ben claps his hands. "You are good, Lily. Can I try?" he asks. + +"Of course, Ben. You can play too. Here, sit next to me," Lily says. + +They sit on the piano bench. They play together. They make loud music. They have fun. + +But Lily's mom does not like loud music. She is in the kitchen. She hears the noise. She thinks it is too much. She goes to Lily's room. She opens the door. She sees Lily and Ben. She says, "Lily, Ben, what are you doing? Your music is too loud. You are making a mess. You have to stop." + +Lily and Ben stop playing. They look at Lily's mom. They are sad. They like music. They do not want to stop. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We are playing music. We are having fun. We are not making a mess. Please, can we play more?" Lily says. + +Lily's mom thinks. She sees Lily and Ben. They are cute. They are happy. They are friends. She smiles. She says, "OK, Lily, Ben. You can play more. But not too loud. And not too long. And clean up when you are done. OK?" + +"OK, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom," Lily and Ben say. + +They hug Lily's mom. They go back to the piano. They play more music. But not too loud. And not too long. And they clean up when they are done. They are good. They are happy. They are friends. They like music. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play on the porch. They had a big box of toys and a swing. Sometimes they shared and sometimes they fought. + +One day, Lily found a red ball in the box. She liked the ball because it was shiny and round. She threw it up and caught it. She smiled and said, "This is my ball. I found it first. You can't have it." + +Ben wanted the ball too. He thought it was not fair that Lily had it. He tried to grab it from her, but she was too fast. She ran away and hid behind the swing. She stuck out her tongue and said, "You are too slow. You can't catch me. You can't have the ball." + +Ben was angry and sad. He felt like crying. He said, "You are mean. You are a bad sister. You should share. You are teasing me." + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She saw that he was upset. She did not want to make him cry. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was just playing. I don't want to be mean. I want to be a good sister. You can have the ball." + +She threw the ball to Ben. He caught it and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I want to be a good brother. You can play with the ball too." + +They hugged and said sorry. They played with the ball together. They shared and laughed. They had fun on the porch. +Tim and Jen liked to play pretend. They made a theater in their room with a big box and some blankets. They put on funny hats and costumes and acted out stories. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they decided to do a story about a lion and a mouse. Tim was the lion and Jen was the mouse. They cut out some ears and a tail from paper and taped them on. Tim roared and Jen squeaked. + +"Please, Mr. Lion, do not eat me," Jen said. "I am very small and not tasty. Maybe you can be my friend instead. You are very big and strong and compassionate." + +Tim thought for a moment. He liked Jen and did not want to hurt her. But he was also very hungry and liked to eat mice. He pretended to agree with Jen. + +"Okay, little mouse, I will not eat you. You can be my friend. But you have to do something for me first. You have to spring on that red button over there. It will make a funny sound and we will laugh." + +Jen trusted Tim and did not know what the red button was. She thought it was part of the theater. She sprang on the button and heard a loud beep. Then she saw a big flash and felt a lot of pain. + +The red button was not part of the theater. It was a fire alarm. Tim had seen it before and knew what it did. He wanted to scare Jen and make her run away. Then he could catch her and eat her. He was not compassionate at all. He was mean and sneaky. + +But Tim's plan did not work. The fire alarm was not a joke. It was real. It meant there was a fire in the house. The smoke and the heat filled the room. Tim and Jen could not breathe or see. They could not escape. They were trapped. They were scared. They were sorry. They were gone. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to go on walks in the park. They saw many things on their walks, like birds, flowers, and bugs. One day, they saw a new sign that said "Trail". They wondered what it meant. + +"Let's go see what trail is," Tom said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Maybe trail is scary or hard," Lily said. + +They followed the sign and found a path that went into the woods. They walked on the path and saw more things, like trees, rocks, and squirrels. They also saw some signs that had pictures and words on them. They tried to read them, but they did not know all the words. + +"Look, this sign says 'Oak'. That is a kind of tree," Tom said, pointing to a big tree with green leaves. + +"I know that word. My dad has a book about trees. He reads it to me sometimes," Lily said. + +They walked some more and saw another sign that said 'Stream'. They heard the sound of water and saw a small river that crossed the path. They stopped and looked at the water. + +"Can we go in the water?" Tom asked. + +"No, we can't. The water is cold and wet. And we don't have our boots," Lily said. + +"But I want to go in the water. It looks fun. And I have my socks. They can get wet," Tom said. + +They started to argue. Tom wanted to go in the water, but Lily did not. They raised their voices and said mean things to each other. + +"Stop it, you two!" a voice said. + +They turned and saw a man who was wearing a hat and a badge. He was a park ranger. He looked at them with a serious face. + +"What are you doing here? This trail is not for kids. It is for grown-ups who know how to read the signs and follow the rules. You could get hurt or lost if you go on this trail. You should go back to the park where it is safe and fun," he said. + +Tom and Lily felt scared and sorry. They did not know they were doing something wrong. They did not want to get hurt or lost. They nodded and said they were sorry. + +The park ranger smiled and said, "It's OK. I know you were curious and wanted to explore. But you have to be careful and listen to your friends. Sometimes they know better than you. And you have to be respectful and kind to each other. You don't have to agree on everything, but you can discuss it and find a solution. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded again and said they understood. They said thank you to the park ranger and walked back to the park. They held hands and said they were sorry to each other. They decided to play on the swings and slides instead of going on the trail. They were proud of themselves for learning a new word and a new lesson. They were still friends who liked to go on walks in the park. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play at the beach. They have a big surf board. They take turns to surf on the waves. They have fun and laugh. + +One day, a new boy comes to the beach. His name is Sam. He has a small surf board. He wants to surf too. But Tim and Kim do not let him. They say he is too small and his board is too bad. They laugh at him and surf away. + +Sam is sad. He sits on the sand and watches. He sees a big wave coming. He sees Tim and Kim on their surf board. They do not see the wave. They are too busy being mean. The wave hits them hard. They fall off their board. They get wet and scared. + +Sam sees them in trouble. He runs to his board. He paddles fast. He reaches them and helps them. He gives them his board and tells them to hold on. He swims with them to the shore. He saves them. + +Tim and Kim are sorry. They say thank you to Sam. They say sorry for being mean. They ask him to be their friend. They share their board with him. They surf together and have fun. They learn to be kind and share. + +The moral of the story is: Do not judge others by their size or things. Be kind and share with others. You never know when you might need their help. +Lila and Sam were friends who liked to learn new things. One day, they went with their parents to visit a big temple. The temple had many statues, paintings and candles. Lila and Sam wanted to know more about them. + +They saw a man in a robe who worked at the temple. He was smiling and talking to some people. Lila and Sam walked up to him and said hello. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like the temple?" the man asked. + +"Yes, we do. It is very big and pretty. But what are these things?" Lila pointed to a statue of a man with a long beard and a hat. + +"That is a prophet. He was a very intelligent and good man who spoke to God and told people what God wanted them to do," the man explained. + +"What is a prophet?" Sam asked. + +"A prophet is someone who can understand God's words and share them with others. God loves prophets and gives them special messages," the man said. + +Lila and Sam nodded. They thought that prophets sounded very interesting and important. + +"Can we be prophets too?" Lila asked. + +The man smiled again. He bent down and looked at them kindly. + +"Maybe you can, if you listen to God and follow his ways. But you don't have to be a prophet to be loved by God. God loves all his children, no matter who they are or what they do. He wants you to be happy and kind and learn new things every day," he said. + +Lila and Sam felt happy and warm in their hearts. They thanked the man and hugged him. Then they ran back to their parents, who were waiting for them. They told them what they learned about the temple and the prophet. Their parents were proud of them and said they were very intelligent and curious children. Lila and Sam smiled and agreed. They liked to learn new things, especially about God and his love. +Lily and Ben like to make things with paper and glue. They have a club for making things. They call it the Paper Club. They meet in Lily's room every week. + +One day, they want to make something unique. They look at their paper and glue and think hard. They have an idea. They want to make a paper castle. They start to cut and fold and stick the paper. + +They work hard for a long time. They make the walls and the towers and the doors and the windows. They make flags and flowers and people. They are happy with their castle. It is big and pretty and unique. + +They want to show their castle to Lily's mom. They call her to come and see. Lily's mom comes and looks at their castle. She is amazed. She says, "Wow, what a wonderful castle! You are very clever and creative. You have completed a great project for your club." + +Lily and Ben smile and hug each other. They are proud of their castle and their club. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love making things with paper and glue. We love our Paper Club." +Ben and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys, but they did not like to sleep. Every night, their mom and dad told them to go to bed, but they always said no. They wanted to stay up and have fun. + +One night, their mom and dad had a big threat for them. They said, "If you do not sleep, we will take away your toys. You will have nothing to play with tomorrow." Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to lose their toys. They loved their toys very much. + +They asked their mom and dad, "Why do we have to sleep? We are not tired. We want to play." Their mom and dad said, "Sleep is good for you. It makes you grow and learn and be healthy. If you do not sleep, you will be sick and sad and slow. You will not have fun at all." + +Ben and Lily thought about it. They did not want to be sick and sad and slow. They wanted to be happy and strong and smart. They looked at their toys. They wanted to keep them, but they also wanted to be good. They decided to listen to their mom and dad. They said, "Okay, we will sleep. But can we have a story first?" + +Their mom and dad smiled. They were happy that Ben and Lily were wise. They said, "Yes, you can have a story. But only one. Then you have to sleep." They read them a story about a brave lion and a clever mouse. Ben and Lily liked the story. They said good night to their mom and dad and their toys. They closed their eyes and slept. + +The moral of the story is: Sleep is important for your well-being. You should listen to your parents and follow their rules. They know what is best for you. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to clean up. They hate when Mom says, "Time to tidy your room!" + +One day, Mom gives them a big bag. She says, "This is for the toys you do not want anymore. You can give them to other kids who need them. But you have to choose by yourself. I will not help you." + +Tom and Lily look at their toys. They have many toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, books, puzzles, and more. They do not know which ones to keep and which ones to give away. + +Tom sees a teddy bear. He likes the teddy bear. It is soft and brown. But it has a hole in its ear. Mom tried to fix it with a stitch, but it still looks bad. + +Tom says, "I do not want this teddy bear. It is ugly. It has a stitch. I will put it in the bag." + +Lily hears Tom. She runs to him. She says, "No, Tom! Do not give away the teddy bear! It is my teddy bear! I love it! It is not ugly. It is special. The stitch is a mark of love. Mom made it for me when I was sick. Please, Tom, let me keep it!" + +Tom looks at Lily. He sees that she is sad. He feels sorry for her. He says, "OK, Lily. You can keep the teddy bear. I did not know it was yours. I did not know it was special. I am sorry." + +Lily smiles. She hugs Tom. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I am sorry, too. I know you like the cars. You can keep the red one. It is fast and shiny." + +Tom smiles. He hugs Lily. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I like the red car. It is my favorite." + +Mom comes back. She sees Tom and Lily. They are holding the teddy bear and the red car. They are smiling. They have put some toys in the bag. The room is tidy. + +Mom says, "Well done, Tom and Lily! You have done a great job. You have been kind and generous. You have made your room tidy. I am proud of you." + +Tom and Lily say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +They hug Mom. They are happy. They have learned a lesson. They do not hate to tidy their room anymore. They know it is good to share and care. +Sara likes to study animals. She has many books with pictures of animals. She likes to learn their names and sounds. She wants to be a vet when she grows up. + +One day, Sara's mom takes her to the vet clinic. Sara's mom works there as a nurse. She helps the vet with the sick animals. Sara is very happy to see the animals. She sees a dog, a cat, a bird and a rabbit. + +"Mom, can I help you with the animals?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, honey, but you have to be very gentle and quiet. The animals are not feeling well. They are our patients. We have to take care of them," Sara's mom says. + +Sara nods. She follows her mom to the dog. The dog is lying on a table. He has a bandage on his leg. He looks sad. + +"Hi, doggy. What is your name?" Sara says softly. + +"His name is Max. He hurt his leg when he ran into a car. He is very brave, but he is also in pain. We gave him some medicine to help him. He also needs a lot of rest and love," Sara's mom explains. + +Sara strokes Max's fur gently. She feels his ears. They are hot. + +"Mom, his ears are hot. Is he sick?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, he has a fever. That means his body is fighting an infection. We have to keep him cool and hydrated. Do you want to help me give him some water?" Sara's mom asks. + +Sara nods. She holds a bowl of water for Max. Max licks the water slowly. He wags his tail a little. + +"Good boy, Max. You are a good patient. You will get better soon," Sara says. + +Sara smiles. She likes to study animals. She likes to help them too. She thinks being a vet is a good job. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pool of water. It is blue and shiny. + +"Can we swim in the water?" Mia asks Tom. + +"I don't know. It looks deep and cold," Tom says. + +But Mia wants to swim. She takes off her shoes and socks. She runs to the water and jumps in. Splash! + +"Wow, it feels nice!" Mia says. "Come on, Tom, join me!" + +Tom is scared. He does not like water. He stays on the grass. He watches Mia swim. She moves her arms and legs. She looks happy. + +Then, Tom sees something orange in the water. It is a fish. It is big and round. It has a funny mouth. It swims near Mia. + +"Look, Tom, a fish!" Mia says. "It is orange and cute. Hello, fish!" + +The fish says nothing. It swims away. Mia follows it. She wants to be its friend. + +Tom feels lonely. He wants to play with Mia. He wants to see the fish. He thinks maybe water is not so bad. + +He puts on his shoes and socks. He runs to the water and jumps in. Splash! + +"Hi, Mia, hi, fish!" Tom says. + +Mia and the fish turn around. They see Tom. They smile. + +"Hi, Tom, welcome to the water!" Mia says. + +The fish says nothing. It swims closer. It gives Tom a kiss. + +Tom laughs. He likes water. He likes the fish. He likes Mia. + +They swim together. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily loved to chew gum. She liked how it was soft and sweet and made bubbles. She chewed gum every day after lunch. But one day, she chewed too much gum. She put four pieces in her mouth and blew a big bubble. The bubble was so big that it popped and stuck to her hair. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "How will I get the gum out of my hair?" + +She ran to the bathroom and tried to pull the gum off. But it was too sticky and ouchy. She started to cry louder. + +"Shh, don't cry, little girl," a voice said. + +Lily looked up and saw a fairy. The fairy was small and had wings and a wand. She was kind and pretty. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"I'm a fairy. I heard you crying and I came to help you. I can get the gum out of your hair with my magic," the fairy said. + +"Really? Thank you, fairy!" Lily said. + +The fairy waved her wand and said a magic word. The gum came off Lily's hair and flew into the trash. Lily's hair was clean and shiny again. + +"Wow, you are amazing, fairy!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. But remember, don't chew too much gum. It's not good for your teeth or your hair," the fairy said. + +"I know, fairy. I'm sorry. I will chew less gum from now on," Lily said. + +"That's good. Now, smile and be happy. I have to go, but I'll always watch over you," the fairy said. + +She gave Lily a hug and a kiss and flew away. Lily smiled and waved goodbye. She was happy and grateful for the fairy's help. She decided to share her gum with her friends instead of chewing it all by herself. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the panda. The panda was big and black and white. He was eating bamboo and rolling on the grass. + +"Can we play with the panda, mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, the panda is not a toy. He is a wild animal. We can only watch him from here," mom said. + +"But he looks so soft and cuddly!" Ben said. + +He tried to climb over the fence, but mom stopped him. + +"Ben, no! That is very dangerous. The panda might get angry and hurt you. He does not like strangers. You have to stay with me," mom said. + +Ben was angry. He did not want to listen to mom. He wanted to play with the panda. He threw a tantrum and kicked the fence. + +The panda heard the noise and looked at Ben. He did not like the loud sound. He growled and showed his teeth. He ran towards the fence and pushed it with his paws. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They ran back to mom and hugged her. + +"Mom, the panda is angry! He wants to bite us!" Lily cried. + +"Shh, it's okay. The panda is just telling us to leave him alone. He does not want to play with us. He wants to play with his friends. Let's go and see the other animals, okay?" mom said. + +She took Lily and Ben by the hand and walked away from the panda. The panda calmed down and went back to his bamboo. He was happy to be alone. He did not like noisy children. He liked quiet bamboo. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they want to learn how to ride on the road. They ask their mom if they can go. + +"Mom, can we ride on the road?" Tom says. + +"No, you can't. The road is not safe for you. There are big cars and trucks that go fast. You have to stay on the sidewalk or in the park." Mom says. + +"But we want to learn. We are big now. We can be careful." Lily says. + +"I know you want to learn, but you are not big enough yet. You have to wait until you are older. The road is not a place to play. It is a place to go from one place to another. You can learn other things, like how to balance, how to brake, how to signal, and how to wear a helmet." Mom says. + +Tom and Lily are not happy. They want to ride on the road. They think mom is not fair. They decide to sneak out when mom is busy. They take their bikes and go to the road. They think they are smart and brave. + +But they are not. The road is scary and noisy. There are many cars and trucks that honk and zoom. Tom and Lily are afraid and confused. They don't know where to go or what to do. They forget how to balance, how to brake, how to signal, and how to wear a helmet. They fall down and hurt themselves. They cry and call for mom. + +Mom hears them and runs to them. She is angry and worried. She scolds them and hugs them. She takes them home and cleans their wounds. She tells them they are lucky they are not worse. She tells them they are silly and naughty. She tells them they have to listen to her and follow the rules. She tells them they have to be safe and smart. + +Tom and Lily are sorry and ashamed. They say they are sorry and they love mom. They say they will not do it again. They say they learned their lesson. They say they will ride on the sidewalk or in the park. They say they will balance, brake, signal, and wear a helmet. + +Mom is glad and proud. She says she is sorry and she loves them. She says she is happy they learned their lesson. She says she will teach them more things when they are ready. She says they will ride on the road one day, but not today. + +Tom and Lily are sleepy and sore. They go to bed and cuddle with mom. They dream of riding on the road, but not today. Today, they learned the road is not a place to play. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to eat waffles for breakfast. Mama makes them waffles every morning. Sara and Tom have a rule: they take turns to number the waffles. Numbering means to say one, two, three, and so on, for each waffle on the plate. The one who numbers the last waffle gets to eat it. + +One morning, Sara wakes up early. She is very hungry. She goes to the kitchen and sees a plate of waffles. She forgets the rule and starts to eat them. She eats one, two, three, four waffles. She does not number them. + +Tom wakes up later. He is also very hungry. He goes to the kitchen and sees Sara eating the last waffle. He is very angry. He says, "Sara, you are bad! You did not number the waffles! You ate them all! You did not leave any for me!" + +Sara feels sorry. She says, "Tom, I am sorry. I was hungry. I forgot the rule. Please do not be mad at me." + +But Tom does not listen. He says, "No, you are not sorry. You are greedy. You are not my twin. You are not my friend. Go away!" + +Sara starts to cry. She runs to her room. She wishes she had numbered the waffles. She wishes Tom would forgive her. She wishes she had a waffle to share with him. But she has none. She is alone and sad. The end. +Ben and Mia were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They knew how to count the blocks and say their numbers. + +But their big brother Sam was bored. He did not want to play with blocks. He wanted to watch TV or play video games. He did not like Ben and Mia's noise. He thought they were too wild and loud. He wanted to disturb them and make them stop. + +He sneaked behind them and waited for a chance. When Ben and Mia were busy with their blocks, he pushed their towers and houses and cars. The blocks fell down and made a big mess. Ben and Mia cried and shouted. + +"Sam, why did you do that?" Ben asked. "You are mean and rude!" + +"Yeah, you ruined our fun!" Mia said. "You are a bad brother!" + +Sam laughed and said, "I don't care. You were annoying me. I don't like your blocks or your numbers. I like TV and video games. They are more fun." + +He ran to the couch and turned on the TV. He grabbed the remote and changed the channels. He did not see that his mom was coming home. She heard the noise and saw the mess. She was angry and sad. + +"Sam, what have you done?" she asked. "You disturbed your brother and sister. You made them cry. You made a mess. You did not share or be nice. You are in big trouble!" + +She took away the remote and the TV. She made him clean up the blocks and say sorry to Ben and Mia. She sent him to his room and said he could not watch TV or play video games for a week. Sam was unhappy and sorry. He wished he had not disturbed his brother and sister. He wished he had played with them and learned their numbers. He wished he had been a good brother. But it was too late. He had a bad ending. +Lily and Sam went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They were very happy and curious. + +Then they came to a big cage with a sign that said "gorilla". Inside the cage, there was a huge, hairy animal with black fur and a big nose. He was sitting on a rock and eating a banana. + +"Wow, look at that gorilla!" Lily said. "He is so big and strong!" + +"Can we say hello to him?" Sam asked. + +Mom nodded and said, "Sure, but we have to be quiet and respectful. Gorillas are very smart and sensitive animals. They can understand some words and signs, but they also need their space and peace." + +Mom took them closer to the cage and said, "Hello, gorilla. We are Lily, Sam, and Mom. We came to see you and learn about you. Can we introduce ourselves?" + +The gorilla looked up from his banana and stared at them with his brown eyes. He made a low, grumbling sound and nodded his head. He raised his hand and pointed at himself. + +"Hello, Lily, Sam, and Mom. I am Koko. I am an elderly gorilla. I have lived here for a long time. I am happy to meet you," he said in a soft voice. + +Lily and Sam gasped in surprise and wonder. They had never heard a gorilla talk before. They smiled and waved at Koko. + +"Hello, Koko. You are amazing. You can talk and sign. How do you do that?" Lily asked. + +Koko smiled and said, "I learned from my friends. They are humans who work here and take care of me. They taught me many words and signs. They also gave me books, toys, and puzzles. They are very kind and gentle. They are like my family." + +Koko pointed at a woman who was standing near the cage. She had a white coat and a clipboard. She smiled and waved at them. + +"That is Dr. Jane. She is my best friend. She visits me every day and talks to me. She also studies me and writes about me. She is very smart and brave. She loves gorillas very much." + +Lily and Sam looked at Dr. Jane and said, "Hello, Dr. Jane. You are awesome. You are Koko's friend and teacher. How do you do that?" + +Dr. Jane came closer and said, "Hello, Lily, Sam, and Mom. You are very sweet and polite. I am happy to meet you. I do that because I love Koko and I want to help him and other gorillas. I want to learn more about them and share their stories with the world. I want to protect them and their habitats. They are very special and important animals." + +Lily, Sam, and Mom nodded and said, "We agree. Koko and other gorillas are very special and important. We want to learn more about them and help them too. Thank you for introducing us to Koko and telling us about your work. You are very inspiring and generous." + +Dr. Jane thanked them and said, "You are very welcome. I am glad you are interested and curious. You can ask me more questions if you want. You can also read some books and watch some videos about Koko and other gorillas. You can also join some clubs and groups that support gorillas and their conservation. You can make a difference and be a friend to gorillas." + +Lily, Sam, and Mom said, "We would love that. Thank you for the suggestions. We will do that. We will be friends to gorillas." + +They hugged Dr. Jane and said goodbye to Koko. Koko hugged them back and said goodbye to them. He gave them a banana as a gift. They thanked him and said they would come back to visit him soon. + +They left the cage and continued their visit to the zoo. They saw more animals and learned more things. They had a wonderful day. They never forgot Koko and his story. They always remembered him and his words. They always loved him and other gorillas. They always tried to help them and their planet. They were very happy and proud. +Lily was a little girl who liked to care for her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a car and a ball. She gave them names and hugs and played with them every day. + +But today, Lily was troubled. She had a bad dream last night. She dreamed that a big monster came and took her toys away. She woke up scared and sad. She ran to her mom and dad and told them her dream. + +Mom and dad hugged Lily and told her it was only a dream. They said her toys were safe and no one would take them away. They said they loved her and cared for her very much. They said she could take her toys to bed with her if she wanted. + +Lily felt better. She thanked mom and dad and went to get her toys. She picked up her doll, her bear, her car and her ball. She said sorry to them for the bad dream. She said she loved them and cared for them very much. She took them to bed with her and cuddled them. + +Lily was not troubled anymore. She was happy and sleepy. She closed her eyes and had a good dream. She dreamed that she and her toys had a picnic in the park. They ate cake and drank juice and played games. They had a lot of fun. Lily smiled in her sleep. She was glad she had her toys and her mom and dad. She knew they cared for her and she cared for them too. +Lily was a big girl. She went to school with her friends. She liked school. She liked to learn new things and play with toys. + +But today, Lily was sad. She spilled her juice on her uniform. Her uniform was wet and sticky. She felt cold and yucky. She wanted to go home. + +Miss Lee saw Lily crying. She was a nice teacher. She helped Lily take off her uniform. She gave Lily a towel to dry herself. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. Accidents happen. I have a spare uniform for you. You can wear it until your uniform is dry." + +Lily smiled. She thanked Miss Lee. She put on the spare uniform. It was clean and warm. She felt better. She went back to her friends. They said, "You look nice, Lily. We like your uniform." Lily was happy. She had a good day at school. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. They had a ball and a kite. They had fun. + +One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was fierce. It had sharp teeth and loud bark. It ran after them. They were scared. + +They ran to the swings. They climbed up. The dog could not reach them. They waited. The dog did not go away. It growled and jumped. + +They saw a man. The man was kind. He had a leash. He called the dog. The dog was his. He said sorry. He said the dog was not bad. He said the dog just wanted to play. + +Tom and Sam were not sure. They did not like the dog. They did not want to play with it. They said no thank you. They waited for the man and the dog to leave. Then they played with their ball and kite again. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who shared a room. They liked to play with their toys and read books before bed. But sometimes they were scared of the dark and the noises they heard at night. + +One night, they heard a loud roar from under their bed. They jumped up and hugged each other. + +"What was that?" Lily whispered. + +"I don't know. Maybe a monster?" Ben said. + +They were too afraid to look under the bed. They decided to discuss what to do. + +"Maybe we can call Mom and Dad. They can help us," Lily said. + +"But they are in their room. They are sleepy. They will be mad if we wake them up," Ben said. + +"Maybe we can turn on the light. The monster will go away," Lily said. + +"But the light is too far. We have to get out of the bed. The monster will catch us," Ben said. + +They were stuck. They did not know how to solve their problem. They wished the monster would leave them alone. + +Then they heard another noise. It was a soft purr. They saw a furry tail sticking out from under the bed. They realized it was their cat, Fluffy. He had been hiding under the bed and making noises. + +They felt silly and relieved. They laughed and petted Fluffy. He was not a monster. He was their friend. + +They turned off the light and cuddled with Fluffy. They were not scared anymore. They said good night to each other and fell asleep. +Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They see a big tree with red and yellow leaves. They want to bring some leaves home for Mom. + +They run to the tree and pick some leaves. They put them in a bag. They are happy. + +But they do not see a big dog behind the tree. The dog is angry. It does not like children. It barks and runs to Tom and Sue. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They drop the bag and run away. The dog chases them. They cry for help. + +No one hears them. The dog catches them and bites them. They are hurt and bleeding. They are very worried. + +Mom does not know where they are. She is very worried too. She looks for them in the park. She does not find them. + +The end. +Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play with boats. They had many boats of different colors and sizes. They liked to sail them in the harbor, where the water was calm and blue. Sometimes they saw big boats and small boats and fish and birds. + +One day, Jill and Tom went to the harbor with their boats. Jill had a red boat and Tom had a blue boat. They put their boats in the water and watched them float. Jill said, "My boat is faster than your boat. I am the captain and you are the sailor. You have to do what I say." + +Tom did not like that. He said, "No, you are not the captain. You are bossy. I can do what I want. My boat is better than your boat. It can go anywhere." He pushed his boat away from Jill's boat and sailed it to the other side of the harbor. + +Jill was angry. She said, "Tom, come back here. You are spoiling the game. You have to play with me. You have to follow my rules." She chased after Tom's boat with her boat. She tried to catch it and bump it. + +Tom was scared. He said, "Jill, stop it. You are mean. You are hurting my boat. Leave me alone." He tried to dodge Jill's boat and sail away from her. + +But Jill and Tom were not careful. They did not see the big boat that was coming into the harbor. It was very big and very loud. It made waves and splashes. It came closer and closer to Jill and Tom's boats. + +Jill and Tom heard the big boat's horn. They looked up and saw the big boat. They were shocked. They realized they were in trouble. They forgot about their game and their fight. They grabbed their boats and ran to the shore. They were safe, but they were wet and sad. + +They looked at their boats. They were broken and dirty. They felt sorry for their boats. They felt sorry for each other. They said, "I'm sorry, Jill. I'm sorry, Tom. I was wrong. You are not bossy. You are not mean. You are my twin. You are my friend. Can we play again?" + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to play something else. They decided to be nice and share. They learned their lesson. They never spoiled their game again. They never sailed their boats in the harbor again. They found a new place to play with their boats. A place where there were no big boats and no waves and no splashes. A place where they could have fun and be happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. The ball was round and soft, like a circle. They liked to squeeze the ball and make it bounce. + +"Look, Lily, I can squeeze the ball very hard!" Tom said, showing his sister how he pressed the ball with his hands. + +"Wow, Tom, you are very strong!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Tom said, tossing the ball to Lily. Lily caught the ball and tried to squeeze it, but it was too big for her. She could not make it bounce. + +"Oh, no, I can't squeeze the ball!" Lily said, feeling sad. "The ball is too big for me!" + +"Don't be sad, Lily, you can do it!" Tom said, encouraging his sister. "You just need to be brave and try again!" + +"Really, Tom?" Lily said, looking at her brother. + +"Really, Lily!" Tom said, nodding his head. "You are brave, Lily, I know you are!" + +Lily smiled and felt better. She looked at the ball and decided to try again. She held the ball with both hands and squeezed it as hard as she could. She felt the ball get smaller and then bigger. She let go of the ball and saw it bounce in the air. + +"Yay, I did it, I did it!" Lily said, jumping up and down. "I squeezed the ball and made it bounce!" + +"Yay, Lily, you did it, you did it!" Tom said, joining his sister. "You are brave, Lily, you are!" + +They hugged each other and laughed. They played with the ball some more, squeezing it and bouncing it. They had fun with their favorite toy. They were happy. +Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play and laugh together. One day, they saw a new shop in their street. It was a barber shop. The barber shop had a big sign with scissors and a comb. The barber shop also had a big window, where they could see people getting their hair cut. + +"Look, Ben, that man is getting his hair shaved!" Sam said, pointing at the window. + +"Wow, he looks funny!" Ben said, giggling. + +"I dare you to go inside and ask the barber to shave your hair, too!" Sam said, teasing Ben. + +"No way, Sam, I like my hair!" Ben said, shaking his head. + +"Are you scared, Ben? Are you a chicken?" Sam said, making clucking noises. + +Ben felt angry and hurt. He wanted to prove Sam wrong. He wanted to show Sam that he was brave and not a chicken. He ran towards the barber shop and opened the door. + +"Hello, little boy, what can I do for you?" the barber said, smiling. + +"I want you to shave my hair, please!" Ben said, loudly. + +The barber looked surprised. He looked at Ben's hair, which was long and curly. He looked at Ben's face, which was red and nervous. + +"Are you sure, little boy? Shaving your hair is a big change. Do you have your parents' permission?" the barber said, kindly. + +Ben felt a pang of fear. He knew his parents would be angry if he shaved his hair. He knew he had made a mistake. He wished he had not listened to Sam's dare. He wished he had been more dependable, like his parents always told him to be. + +"Um, no, I don't have their permission. I'm sorry, I changed my mind. I don't want to shave my hair," Ben said, softly. + +The barber nodded. He understood. He had seen many children do silly things because of dares. He was glad that Ben had changed his mind. He was glad that Ben had been honest. + +"That's okay, little boy. I'm proud of you for telling me the truth. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do, especially if it makes you unhappy. You should always listen to your own heart, not to other people's dares. That's what makes you dependable," the barber said, wisely. + +Ben felt relieved and grateful. He thanked the barber and ran back to Sam. He told Sam what had happened. He told Sam that he was sorry for being angry, but he was not sorry for keeping his hair. He told Sam that he hoped they could still be friends, but he would not do any more dares. + +Sam felt ashamed and sorry. He realized that he had been mean and foolish. He realized that he had risked losing his best friend. He realized that he had learned a valuable lesson. + +"I'm sorry, too, Ben. I was wrong to dare you to do something you didn't want to do. I was wrong to call you a chicken. You are not a chicken, you are brave and dependable. You are a good friend, and I don't want to lose you. Can you forgive me?" Sam said, sincerely. + +Ben smiled and hugged Sam. He forgave Sam and accepted his apology. He was happy to have his friend back. He was happy to have his hair back. He was happy to have learned a valuable lesson, too. + +The end. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. They have cars, dolls, balls, and blocks. + +One day, they want to play a new game. They look at their toys and think. Tim has an idea. He says, "Let's play players. We can pretend we are players on a team. We can wear hats and shirts with numbers. We can run and kick and throw." + +Lily likes the idea. She says, "OK, let's play players. What team are we on? What is our name?" + +Tim thinks for a moment. He says, "We are on the mild team. Our name is the Mild Cats. We are mild because we are nice and friendly. We do not fight or yell. We have fun and help each other." + +Lily nods. She says, "I like the Mild Cats. They sound like a good team. How do we play?" + +Tim says, "We can use the ball to play. We can take turns kicking or throwing the ball to each other. We can say, 'Go, Mild Cats, go!' We can cheer and clap. We can also use the blocks to make goals. We can try to score points by kicking or throwing the ball into the goals." + +Lily says, "That sounds like fun. Let's do it. I will be player number one. You will be player number two. We are the best players on the mild team." + +Tim and Lily put on their hats and shirts. They pick up the ball and the blocks. They go to the yard. They make two goals with the blocks.

She had dolls, cars, books and puzzles. But sometimes she got bored of the same toys. She wanted to see what else was in the house. + +One day, when her mom was busy in the kitchen, Lily decided to explore. She walked down the hall and saw a door that was closed. She opened it and saw a room with a big desk, a chair, a computer and many papers. She had found her dad's office. + +Lily was curious. She climbed on the chair and looked at the computer. She pressed some buttons and saw different pictures and words on the screen. She smiled and pressed more buttons. She saw a game with animals and colors. She played with the mouse and clicked on the animals. + +She did not hear her dad come home. He walked into the office and saw Lily on his chair. He was upset. He saw that Lily had changed his work on the computer. He had to finish a report for his boss. He said in a loud voice, "Lily, what are you doing? You can't play with my computer. You have messed up my work. Go to your room now!" + +Lily was scared. She did not know she had done something bad. She jumped off the chair and ran to her room. She cried and hugged her teddy bear. She did not want to make her dad upset. She wished she had not discovered the office. She wished she had stayed with her toys in the living room. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is inside. + +"Let's go and look," says Anna. + +"OK, but be careful," says Ben. + +They run to the hole and peek inside. They see a lot of dirt and rocks. They also see something shiny and round. + +"What is that?" asks Anna. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a coin," says Ben. + +He reaches his hand into the hole and tries to grab the shiny thing. But it is not a coin. It is a button. And it is attached to a wire. And the wire is connected to a speaker. + +Suddenly, the speaker makes a loud noise. It says, "Surprise! You found the hidden treasure! Congratulations! You are very smart and brave!" + +Anna and Ben are shocked. They jump back from the hole. They look around and see their parents and friends. They are hiding behind the trees and bushes. They are smiling and laughing. + +They come out and hug Anna and Ben. They say, "Happy birthday, Anna and Ben! We made a special game for you. We hope you liked it!" + +Anna and Ben are happy. They realize it is their birthday. They are twins. They forgot about it because they were having so much fun. + +They say, "Thank you, thank you! We love you! We love the game!" + +They all go to the picnic table and eat cake and ice cream. They sing and dance and play. They have a wonderful time. + +Everyone applauds for Anna and Ben. They are the best birthday twins ever. + +They are also very sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes. They say, "Can we go home now? We want to sleep." + +Their parents say, "Of course, sweeties. Let's go home. You had a big day." + +They pack up and leave the park. Anna and Ben hold hands and smile. They are happy and tired. They fall asleep in the car.

Be careful and don't talk to strangers." + +Tom runs to the truck. He sees many colors and shapes of candy. He picks a red lollipop. He is happy. + +Anna follows Tom. She wants candy too. She asks her mom, "Can I have some candy, mom?" + +Anna's mom shakes her head. She says, "No, Anna. You have a toothache. Candy is bad for your teeth. You can have a fruit instead." + +Anna is sad. She does not want a fruit. She wants candy. She sees Tom with his lollipop. She says, "Tom, can I have your candy? Please?" + +Tom says, "No, Anna. This is my candy. I chose it. You can have a fruit." + +Anna is angry. She says, "That's not fair! You have candy and I don't. Give me your candy or I won't be your friend!" + +Tom says, "No, Anna. You can't have my candy. You can't be mean to me. Go away!" + +Anna cries. She runs to her mom. She says, "Mom, Tom is mean. He won't share his candy with me. He is not my friend." + +Anna's mom hugs her. She says, "Anna, I'm sorry you are sad. But you have to respect Tom's choice. He can keep his candy. You can't take it from him. Maybe you can play with him later and share something else." + +Anna says, "But I want candy, mom. I don't want to play with Tom. He is selfish." + +Anna's mom says, "Anna, candy is not everything. You have to be kind and polite. Tom is your friend. He is not selfish. He just likes his candy. Maybe he will give you some another day. But you have to ask nicely and accept his answer." + +Anna thinks for a while. She says, "Okay, mom. I will try to be nice. But I still want candy." + +Anna's mom says, "Maybe we can buy some candy later. But only if you brush your teeth well and promise not to eat too much." + +Anna nods. She says, "Okay, mom. I promise. Can we go now?" + +Anna's mom says, "Yes, we can go. But first, let's say goodbye to Tom and his mom. And say sorry for being rude." + +Anna says, "Okay, mom.

The little girl told him she needed to deliver a message to the kind old lady. + +"I'll help you," said the wolf. "But only if you promise not to be scared of me." + +The little girl nodded bravely and the wolf led her to the cottage. When they arrived, the kind old lady saw them and smiled. + +"I'm so hurt!" she said. "My friends have been captured by a mean dragon and I can't rescue them. Please deliver this message for me." + +The little girl and the wolf took the message and ran off into the forest.

She started to shiver. + +Her mommy smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's safe. Look, the lights are red, so all the traffic will stop and we can cross when it is green." + +Clare felt better after that. She squeezed her mommy's hand and together they crossed the street. + +The End. +Bob rolled the ball to his wife and she laughed. “That was a great roll!†she said. +Bob smiled and rolled the ball back.

But it is a very nice pool. It has a slide and a fountain and a rare fish tank. You will like it a lot," mom said. + +Sara and Tom smiled and looked out the window. They saw trees and houses and cars and birds. They sang songs and played games. They were happy. + +But when they got to the pool, they saw a big sign. It said: "Pool closed. Sorry for the inconvenience. There is a problem with the water. Please come back another day." + +Sara and Tom were very sad. They wanted to swim so much. They cried and cried. + +"Mom, why can't we swim? We came all this way. It's not fair," Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, honey. I didn't know the pool was closed. It must be a rare problem. Maybe we can swim another time. Let's go home and have some ice cream," mom said. + +But Sara and Tom did not want ice cream. They wanted to swim. They were very angry and disappointed. They had a bad day. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play at the beach. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They dug a hole in the sand and filled it with water.

He joined her and they laughed. + +They saw a big boat on the water. It was far away and looked small. It had a flag on it. The flag was red and white. + +"Hello, boat!" Lily shouted. She waved her hand at the boat. + +"Hello, boat!" Sam shouted. He waved his hand too. + +They hoped the boat would see them and wave back. But the boat did not. It kept going on the deep water. + +"Maybe the boat is busy," Lily said. + +"Maybe the boat is shy," Sam said. + +They did not mind. They had each other and their pool. They played until the sun went down. They had a fun day at the beach. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many birds. They wanted to see the birds up close, so they climbed the tree. Anna was careful, but Ben was not. He stepped on a thin branch and it broke. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asked. + +"I'm okay, but look!" Ben said. He pointed to a nest that fell from the branch. There was an enormous egg in the nest. It was blue and shiny. + +"Wow, what kind of bird is that?" Anna wondered. + +"I don't know, but it's very pretty. Can we keep it?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben, we can't. It belongs to the bird. We have to put it back," Anna said. + +"But how? The branch is broken. We can't reach it," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a ladder leaning against the tree. It was for the gardener who was trimming the bushes. They decided to use the ladder to put the egg back in the nest. They climbed down the tree and carried the egg to the ladder. They were very gentle and did not shake the egg. + +They climbed up the ladder and found another branch that was close to the nest. They placed the egg in the nest and hoped the bird would find it. They climbed down the ladder and put it back where they found it. + +"Good job, Anna and Ben. You did the right thing," a voice said. + +They turned around and saw the gardener. He smiled at them and said, "That egg belongs to a peacock. It's a very rare and beautiful bird. You saved its baby. Thank you." + +Anna and Ben felt happy and proud. They thanked the gardener and ran back to their parents. They told them what they did and showed them the peacock. The peacock was grateful and spread its feathers. It was the most colorful and enormous bird they ever saw. +Lily was a flexible girl. She liked to bend and stretch her body in many ways. She could touch her toes, do a cartwheel, and make funny shapes with her arms and legs. She loved to play with her friends at the park, where they would run, jump, and swing together. + +But sometimes, Lily got tired from all the fun. She would feel her eyes get heavy and her legs get slow. She knew it was time for a nap. She would tell her friends, "Bye-bye, I need to nap now. See you later." Then she would go home with her mom, who would give her a hug and a kiss. + +Lily would lie down on her bed, with her favorite teddy bear and blanket. She would close her eyes and listen to the soft music that her mom played. She felt warm and cozy and safe. She was happy to nap, because she knew she would wake up with more energy and more smiles.

They could make towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks. They had fun with their blocks. + +One day, they saw a new block in their toy box. It was a shiny block. It was a square block. It was a silver block. They had never seen a block like that before. They wanted to play with the shiny block. + +They took the shiny block out of the toy box. They looked at it closely. It was very pretty. It sparkled in the light. They touched it gently. It was very smooth. They smiled at each other. They liked the shiny block. + +They decided to make a castle with the shiny block. They used their other blocks to build the walls and the towers. They put the shiny block on top of the highest tower. It was the crown of the castle. It looked very nice. They were proud of their castle. + +They wanted to show their castle to their mom. They called her to come and see. She came to their room. She saw their castle. She saw the shiny block. She gasped. She recognized the shiny block. It was not a block. It was a broken piece of glass. It was sharp and dangerous. It could cut them. She was scared. + +She ran to their castle. She tried to take the shiny block away. But she was too late. Sam and Mia reached for the shiny block at the same time. They wanted to hold it. They did not know it was glass. They did not know it was broken. They did not know it was sharp. + +They grabbed the shiny block. It cut their hands. They screamed. They dropped the shiny block. It broke into smaller pieces. The pieces flew everywhere. They cut their faces. They bled. They cried. Their mom hugged them. She was sorry. She was sad. She was angry. + +She threw away the shiny block. She threw away the other blocks. She took Sam and Mia to the doctor. The doctor cleaned their wounds. He gave them bandages. He gave them medicine. He told them to be careful. He told them to never play with glass. + +Sam and Mia learned a lesson. They never played with glass again. They never played with blocks again. They never saw the shiny block again. They never made a castle again. They were not happy. They were not proud. They were hurt. They were sad. The end. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to decorate things. They had many crayons, stickers, and glitter to make things look lovely. One day, they saw a big poster of a bull on the wall of their room. It was a gift from their uncle who lived on a farm. + +"Let's decorate the bull!" Tom said. "We can make him more colorful and shiny!" + +Anna agreed. They took their crayons, stickers, and glitter and started to draw and stick on the poster. They gave the bull a red nose, blue horns, yellow spots, and green eyes. They also added stars, hearts, and flowers all over him. They were very happy with their work. + +"Look, Mommy, look!" they shouted. "We decorated the bull!" + +Mommy came to see what they had done. She was very surprised and tried not to laugh. She knew that their uncle loved his bull very much and that he would not like what they had done to his poster. + +"Oh, my, what a lovely bull!" she said. "But you know, your uncle is coming to visit us tomorrow. He might not like your decoration. He might think you are making fun of his bull." + +Tom and Anna looked at each other. They did not want to make their uncle sad or angry. They loved their uncle and his bull. + +"Can we fix it, Mommy?" they asked. "Can we make the bull look like before?" + +Mommy nodded. She helped them find some paper, scissors, and glue. They carefully cut out the shapes of the bull's nose, horns, spots, and eyes from the paper. They glued them over their decoration, trying to match the colors and sizes. They also peeled off the stickers and brushed off the glitter. They worked very hard until the poster looked like before. + +"There, that's better," Mommy said. "Now the bull looks like your uncle's bull. He will be very happy to see it." + +Tom and Anna smiled. They were proud of their work. They hugged Mommy and thanked her for helping them. + +"Mommy, can we decorate something else?" they asked. + +Mommy looked around the room. She saw many things that they could decorate. She smiled and said, "Sure, why not? But let's ask first, okay?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They ran to find something else to decorate. They hoped it would be something lovely. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One morning, they woke up early and wanted to have some fun. They saw a big box of crayons on the shelf and decided to draw on the wall. + +They took the crayons and started to make colorful pictures of animals, flowers and stars. They were very happy and did not hear their mom coming down the stairs. + +"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" their mom shouted when she saw the wall. She was very angry and sad. "You have made a big mess! You are not allowed to draw on the wall!" + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed. They knew they had done something bad. They dropped the crayons and tried to hide behind the couch. But Tom slipped on a crayon and fell on the floor. He hurt his knee and started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, mom," he sobbed. "We just wanted to have some fun." + +"I'm sorry, too, mom," Lily said. "We didn't mean to make you mad." + +Their mom sighed and hugged them. She was still upset, but she loved them very much. "I know you didn't mean to, but you have to learn to respect the house and the rules. Drawing on the wall is not fun, it's naughty. You have to help me clean it up and say sorry to dad." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said sorry to their mom and dad. They helped their mom wipe the wall with a wet cloth. It took a long time and they were very tired. They learned their lesson and never drew on the wall again. They found other ways to have fun in the morning, like reading books, playing with toys or singing songs. +Anna liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a long white veil in a box and put it on her head. She felt like a princess. She wanted to show her mom how pretty she was. + +She ran to the living room, where her mom was reading a book. She said, "Mom, look at me! I'm a princess!" Her mom smiled and said, "You are very pretty, Anna. Where did you find that veil?" + +Anna said, "In a box in your closet. Can I keep it?" Her mom said, "That veil is very special to me. It was my wedding veil. I wore it when I married your dad. You can play with it, but you have to be careful and put it back when you are done." + +Anna nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will be careful." She went back to her room and played with the veil. She pretended to marry her teddy bear and her doll. She had a lot of fun. + +But then she heard her mom call her for lunch. She took off the veil and tried to put it back in the box. But the box had a lock on it. She did not know how to open it. She tried to pull and twist the lock, but it did not move. She started to worry. She did not want to lose the veil or make her mom angry. + +She decided to ask her mom for help. She picked up the box and the veil and ran to the kitchen. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I can't put the veil back. The box has a lock and I don't know how to open it." + +Her mom looked at the box and the veil. She was not angry. She was calm. She said, "Don't worry, Anna. I have the key for the lock. It's in my purse. I will help you put the veil back. Thank you for being honest and careful with it." + +She took the key from her purse and opened the lock. She helped Anna fold the veil and put it back in the box. She said, "You are a very good girl, Anna. I'm proud of you. And you are still a princess, even without the veil." + +Anna hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love the veil. It's very pretty, like you." + +They smiled and kissed and went to have lunch together. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They liked to throw a ball and watch Spot run and catch it. Spot was very fast and smart. He always brought the ball back to them. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Ben said, and gave him a pat on the head. "You are the best dog ever!" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She had a surprise for Spot. She had brought a treat for him in her pocket. It was a bone-shaped cookie that Spot loved. She wanted to give it to him when they finished playing. + +"Let's play one more time, Spot!" Lily said, and threw the ball as far as she could. Spot ran after it, wagging his tail. He found the ball and picked it up with his mouth. But then he saw something else. It was a squirrel, sitting on a tree branch. Spot liked to chase squirrels. He dropped the ball and barked at the squirrel. + +"Spot, no!" Ben and Lily shouted. "Come back here!" + +But Spot did not listen. He ran towards the tree, trying to catch the squirrel. The squirrel was scared and jumped to another tree. Spot followed it, jumping over bushes and rocks. He was having fun, but he did not see where he was going. + +"Spot, stop!" Ben and Lily cried. They ran after him, but they could not catch up. They were worried that Spot would get lost or hurt. + +Spot was too busy to notice. He chased the squirrel from tree to tree, until he reached the edge of the park. There was a big road with many cars and trucks. The squirrel crossed the road, but Spot did not. He saw the cars and trucks and stopped. He was afraid. He wanted to go back to Ben and Lily, but he did not know how. He whined and looked around. + +"Spot, where are you?" Ben and Lily called. They heard his whine and followed the sound. They saw him on the other side of the road, looking scared and sad. They wanted to cross the road and get him, but they knew it was dangerous. They had to wait for the cars and trucks to stop. + +"Spot, stay there!" Ben said. "Don't move! We will come and get you!" + +Spot heard Ben's voice and felt a little better. He sat down and waited. He hoped that Ben and Lily would come soon. He missed them. He wished he had not chased the squirrel. He wished he had stayed with them and played with the ball. He wished he had eaten the treat that Lily had for him. + +After a while, the cars and trucks stopped. There was a red light and a green man. Ben and Lily saw the green man and ran across the road. They reached Spot and hugged him. They were so happy to see him. They checked him for any cuts or bruises. He was fine, just a little dirty and tired. + +"Spot, you are safe!" Lily said. "We were so scared for you! You should not have run away from us!" + +Spot licked Lily's face and wagged his tail. He was sorry for making them scared. He wanted to say sorry, but he could not. He could only bark and look at them with his big eyes. + +"It's okay, Spot," Ben said. "We are not mad at you. We are just glad you are okay. But you have to promise us that you will never chase squirrels again. They are not worth it. You are much more important to us." + +Spot nodded and barked. He understood. He promised. He did not want to chase squirrels again. He wanted to stay with Ben and Lily and play with the ball. He wanted to be a good dog. + +Lily smiled and took out the treat from her pocket. She gave it to Spot and said, "This is for you, Spot. You deserve it. You are a brave and loyal dog. We are proud of you." + +Spot took the treat and ate it. It was delicious. He thanked Lily and barked. He was happy. He was proud. He was with Ben and Lily. They were his best friends. They were his family. +Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it. + +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys that they used to act like different people. One day, they decided to act like spies and sneak into the kitchen to find a secret recipe. + +They put on their spy hats and glasses and tiptoed to the fridge. They opened it and saw a bottle of green juice. "Look, Sam, this must be the secret recipe!" Tim said. "Let's taste it and see what it is." + +Sam was not sure. He looked at the label and saw a skull and crossbones. He remembered that Mom had told them that this was a sign of poison. "Tim, wait, I think this is poison. Mom said poison is bad and can make us sick or die. We should not drink it." + +But Tim did not listen. He was curious and wanted to try the juice. He opened the bottle and took a big sip. He made a face and spat it out. "Yuck, this is bitter! It tastes awful!" he said. + +Sam was scared. He saw Tim's face turn pale and his eyes roll back. He saw him fall to the floor and stop moving. He ran to him and shook him, but Tim did not wake up. He started to cry and scream for Mom. He wished he had stopped Tim from drinking the poison. He wished they had not played pretend that day. He wished he could have his brother back. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to eat out with their mom and dad. They always looked at the menu and picked what they wanted. But sometimes they did not finish their food and left it on the plate. + +One day, they went to a new place that had pizza and pasta. Lily chose pizza and Ben chose pasta. They were very hungry and excited to try their food. But when their food came, they did not like it. Lily said the pizza was too spicy and Ben said the pasta was too cheesy. They pushed their plates away and said they wanted something else. + +Mom and dad were not happy. They said, "You cannot quit your food and waste it. There are many kids who have no food and are hungry. You should be thankful for what you have and eat it. If you quit your food, you will hurt your body and your feelings. And you will hurt the people who made the food and the people who need the food." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to hurt anyone. They looked at their food again and decided to give it another try. They took small bites and chewed slowly. They found out that the pizza and the pasta were not so bad after all. They even liked some parts of them. They ate as much as they could and thanked mom and dad for the food. + +Mom and dad were proud of Lily and Ben. They said, "You did a good job. You did not quit your food and you learned to appreciate it. You also helped others by not wasting food. You are very kind and smart. We love you very much." + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged mom and dad. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to not quit their food and to be grateful for what they have. They also learned to care for others and to share what they have. They were happy and full. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their kites. Their kites are colorful and have long tails. They run and laugh and make their kites soar in the sky. + +One day, a big wind comes and blows Lily's kite away. She is sad and cries. Ben sees her and runs to her. He hugs her and says, "Don't cry, Lily. I have an idea. We can share my kite. It is big enough for both of us." + +Lily smiles and wipes her tears. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I love you, best friend." Ben says, "I love you too, best friend. Come on, let's make our kite soar again." + +They hold the kite string together and run across the grass. The kite flies high and colorful. They look at each other and giggle.

One day, they find a big box of blocks in the park. They are very happy. + +"Look, Anna, so many blocks!" Ben says. "We can make a big tower!" + +"Yes, Ben, let's do it!" Anna says. They start to stack the blocks on top of each other. They make a tall tower. They are very good at it. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is black and white. He has a mark on his eye. He is curious. He wants to see the tower. He runs to the tower and sniffs it. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben shouts. "This is our tower!" + +But the dog does not listen. He barks and wags his tail. He bumps the tower with his nose. The tower falls down. The blocks scatter everywhere. Anna and Ben are sad. + +"Bad dog!" Anna cries. "You broke our tower!" + +The dog looks sorry. He licks Anna and Ben. He wants to be their friend. He brings them a ball. He wants to play with them. + +Anna and Ben look at the ball. It is red and shiny. It has a lucky star on it. They have never seen a ball like that. + +"Wow, what a nice ball!" Ben says. "Where did you get it, dog?" + +The dog wags his tail again. He does not know. He found the ball in the park. He likes the ball. He likes Anna and Ben. + +"Maybe the dog is sorry for breaking our tower," Anna says. "Maybe he wants to share his ball with us." + +Anna and Ben smile. They decide to forgive the dog. They take the ball and throw it. The dog runs after it. He brings it back. They play catch with the dog. They have fun. + +They forget about the tower. They make a new friend. They are happy. They are lucky. +Sara and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play in the snow. One day, they wanted to make a snowman. They put on their hats, coats, gloves and boots. They went outside with a carrot, a scarf and a hat for the snowman. + +"Let's make the snowman here, near the window," Sara said. "Then we can see him from inside." + +"OK," Tom said. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They gave the snowman a carrot nose, a scarf and a hat. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, Mommy, look!" Sara shouted. She waved at the window. Mommy was inside, preparing hot chocolate for them. She smiled and waved back. + +"Come inside soon, kids," Mommy said. "It's very cold outside. I have warm drinks for you." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They wanted to stay a little longer with their snowman. They hugged him and said goodbye. They started to walk back to the house. + +But they did not see the big truck coming down the street. The truck was going very fast. The driver did not see the kids either. He was looking at his phone. He did not hear Mommy scream. He did not stop. + +The truck hit Sara and Tom. They flew in the air and landed on the snow. They did not move. They did not feel anything. They were gone. + +The snowman was still near the window. He did not know what happened.

They swing some more. They laugh and smile. They are friends. They are happy. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play and share. One day, they find a big bunch of grapes in the kitchen. They are hungry and want to eat the grapes. + +But Mom says, "No, you cannot eat the grapes. They are for Grandma. She is sick and needs them. I will send them to her in a box." + +Tom and Jen are sad. They love Grandma and want her to feel better. But they also love grapes and want to taste them. They look at the box. It is not closed yet. + +Jen has an idea. She says, "Let's take some grapes and eat them. Mom will not know. There are many grapes in the box. Grandma will not miss them." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "OK, let's do it. But we have to be quick and quiet. Mom will be back soon." + +They open the box and take some grapes. They are juicy and sweet. They eat them fast and hide the stems. They close the box and put it back. They smile and wipe their mouths. + +But they do not see the note on the box. It says, "Dear Grandma, I hope you like these grapes. They are the only ones available in the store. They are very special. They have seeds inside. You can plant them and grow more grapes. Love, Mom." + +Mom comes back and sees the box. She says, "Good, you did not touch the grapes. They are ready to go. Let's take them to the post office." + +Tom and Jen feel guilty. They do not say anything. They go with Mom to the post office. They watch Mom give the box to the man. The man puts a stamp on it and says, "This box will take a long time to reach Grandma. She lives far away. Maybe two weeks or more." + +Tom and Jen gasp. They realize they made a big mistake. They ate the special grapes that Grandma could plant and grow. They took away her chance to have more grapes. They are sorry and ashamed. They wish they could take back the grapes. But it is too late. The box is gone. They cry and hug each other. They hope Grandma will forgive them. They learn a hard lesson. They will never be greedy and selfish again. +Lila and Tom liked to play with their rope. They made it into a snake, a belt, a swing, and a lasso. One day, they decided to play a trick on their mom. They tied the rope to the door handle and hid behind the couch. When mom came home, they would pull the rope and make her fall. + +But mom did not come home soon. Lila and Tom got bored and hungry. They left the rope on the door and went to the kitchen to find a snack. They did not see the cat sneak into the living room. The cat saw the rope and thought it was a toy. He pounced on it and bit it and scratched it. He made a big mess. + +When mom came home, she saw the rope on the door and the cat on the floor. She was angry and confused. She opened the door and yelled, "Who did this?" Lila and Tom heard her and ran to the living room. They saw the rope and the cat and their mom. They were scared and sorry. They said, "We did it, mom. We wanted to play a trick on you. But the cat ruined it. He made the rope vanish." + +Mom looked at the rope and saw that it was torn and frayed. She saw that the cat had made holes in the couch and the carpet. She was very troubled. She said, "You should not play with the rope like that. You could hurt yourself or someone else. And you should not leave the cat alone with the rope. He could choke on it or get tangled in it. You should be more careful and responsible." + +Lila and Tom felt bad. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not think about that. We will not play with the rope like that again. We will clean up the mess and apologize to the cat. We love you, mom." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too, Lila and Tom. I know you were just having fun. But you have to learn from your mistakes. Next time, think before you act. And maybe find a better toy than the rope." +Tom and Lily like to play with blocks. They make towers with the blocks. They see who can make the tallest tower. They are careful not to knock down their towers. + +One day, they have a new game. They take turns to hide a block behind their back. The other one has to guess what color the block is. If they guess right, they can add the block to their tower. If they guess wrong, they have to give the block to the other one. + +Tom hides a block behind his back. He says, "Lily, guess what color my block is." + +Lily looks at Tom's tower. She sees red, blue, green, and yellow blocks. She thinks hard. She says, "Is it red?" + +Tom shakes his head.

Lily asked, walking to the couch where mom was sitting. + +"It's a surprise, sweetie. You have to wait until later," mom said, smiling. + +"But I want to see it now!" Max said, following Lily. + +He tried to reach for the bag, but it was too high for him. He stretched his arms as much as he could, but he still could not touch it. + +"Max, stop that. You might break something," mom said, pulling the bag away. + +"What is it, mom? Is it a toy? Is it a book? Is it a cake?" Lily asked, jumping up and down. + +Mom laughed. "No, it's none of those things. It's something very special and very expensive. It's a gift for your dad. He will be home soon, and I want to give it to him." + +"What is it, mom? Tell us, please!" Max and Lily begged. + +Mom looked at them and winked. "It's a name. A name for your new baby brother or sister. I went to the doctor today, and he told me the name. Do you want to hear it?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Max and Lily shouted. + +Mom hugged them and whispered the name in their ears. They gasped and smiled. They liked the name very much. It was a beautiful name. They could not wait to meet their new sibling and play with him or her. + +They thanked mom and gave her a kiss.

She sees Sara and Ben crying and the blocks everywhere. She is not happy. She says, "Sara, Ben, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over the blocks?" + +Sara and Ben say, "He/she wants my blocks. He/she is not fair. He/she demands my blocks." + +Mama says, "Blocks are for sharing, not for demanding. You both have enough blocks to play with. You can make new things together. Fighting does not make you win. It makes you lose. Now, say sorry to each other and pick up the blocks." + +Sara and Ben say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They pick up the blocks and start to build again. They make a big castle with red and blue blocks. They are happy and proud. Mama smiles and says, "That's better. You are good children. You made a beautiful castle. You win when you share and cooperate." + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is shiny and red. Lily wants to try it. + +"Ben, look at the slide! It is brilliant!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is. Do you want to go first?" Ben asks. + +Lily nods. She runs to the slide. She climbs the ladder.

"You are making the floor ugly! Mom and Dad will be angry!" + +But Ben does not stop. He pours more oil on the floor and on the bed and on the toys. He makes a big puddle of oil in the room. He slides and jumps and splashes. + +"Ben, you are silly!" Mia says. "You are ruining everything! I don't want to play with you!" + +Mia runs out of the room and slams the door.
