You are making trouble. You have to clean up the mess and say sorry to Max. And no more dishes on Max's head, OK?" + +Tom and Lily say, "OK, Mom, we will clean up and say sorry to Max. We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. But please, behave." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that looked impressive. Lily wanted to go first, but Ben was faster. He ran to the slide and grabbed the ladder. Lily was sad and angry. + +"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily shouted. "It is my turn!" + +But Ben did not listen. He climbed up the ladder and slid down. He laughed and said, "That was fun!" + +Lily ran after him and tried to grab his arm. But Ben was too quick. He ran away and climbed the ladder again. Lily followed him and grabbed his leg. She pulled him down and said, "Now it is my turn!" + +Ben was surprised and scared. He did not like Lily's touch. He said, "Let me go, Lily! You are mean!" + +Lily did not let go. She said, "You are mean, Ben! You did not share the slide!" + +They both started to cry and shout. A grown-up came and saw them. He said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Ben told him their story. The grown-up said, "You both need to learn to take turns and be nice. The slide is for everyone. How about you go together and hold hands?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "OK, we will try." + +They held hands and climbed the ladder. They slid down together and smiled. They said, "That was fun!" + +They learned to share and be friends. They played on the slide and other things in the park. They had a good time. The grown-up was happy and proud. He said, "That was impressive!" +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck arrive. The truck had many things in it. Some things were shiny, some things were soft, some things were noisy. Lily and Tom wanted to see the things. + +"Can we look at the things?" Lily asked the man who drove the truck. + +"No, you can't. These are not things for you. These are junk. I have to take them away." The man said. + +"But they are pretty. Please, let us see." Tom said. + +The man was busy. He did not see Lily and Tom climb into the truck. He closed the door and drove away. Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know where they were going. They cried and shouted, but no one heard them. + +The truck went to a big place with many other trucks. The man got out and opened the door. He saw Lily and Tom. He was angry. + +"What are you doing here? You are not junk. You are children. How did you get in?" He yelled. + +"We are sorry. We wanted to see the pretty things." Lily said. + +"Pretty things? These are not pretty things. These are junk. They are broken, dirty, and dangerous. You are lucky I did not crush you with them." The man said. + +He grabbed Lily and Tom and put them on the ground. He did not help them. He did not call their parents. He did not say sorry. He got back in the truck and drove away. + +Lily and Tom were alone. They were hurt. They were dirty. They were sad. They did not know how to get back to the park. They did not know how to find their parents. They did not have any friends. They only had junk. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big green hill. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom says. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily says. "But I want to carry my teddy bear. He likes to see new things too." + +Lily picks up her teddy bear and holds him tight. Tom holds Lily's hand and they start to climb the hill. They walk and walk until they reach the top. + +"Wow, look, Lily!" Tom says. "There is a pond with ducks and fish!" + +Lily sees the pond and smiles. She likes ducks and fish. She wants to feed them some bread. + +"Can we go down, Tom?" Lily asks. "I want to give some bread to the ducks and fish." + +"Sure, Lily!" Tom says. "But be careful. The hill is steep and slippery." + +Lily and Tom start to go down the hill. But Lily slips and falls. She drops her teddy bear and he rolls down the hill. + +"Oh no, my teddy bear!" Lily cries. "He is gone!" + +Tom sees Lily crying and hugs her. + +"Don't worry, Lily!" Tom says. "We will find your teddy bear. We will search for him together." + +Lily and Tom look around the pond. They see many ducks and fish, but no teddy bear. They ask the ducks and fish if they have seen him, but they shake their heads. + +"Where is he, Tom?" Lily says. "I miss him so much!" + +Tom thinks hard. He remembers that the hill is green. He has an idea. + +"Maybe he is hiding in the grass, Lily!" Tom says. "Let's look in the grass. Maybe we can find him there." + +Lily and Tom search in the grass. They look under every leaf and flower. They find a worm, a ladybug, and a butterfly, but no teddy bear. + +"Where is he, Tom?" Lily says. "I can't find him anywhere!" + +Tom is about to give up. He feels sad for Lily. He wishes he could find her teddy bear. He looks up and sees something in the sky. It is a big red balloon. It has something hanging from it. It is Lily's teddy bear! + +"Look, Lily, look!" Tom says. "There he is! He is flying in the sky!" + +Lily looks up and sees her teddy bear. He is smiling and waving at her. He has a string around his waist. He is tied to the balloon. + +"Teddy bear!" Lily says. "You are here! You are safe!" + +Lily and Tom run to the balloon. They pull the string and bring the teddy bear down. Lily hugs her teddy bear and kisses him. + +"I'm so happy, Tom!" Lily says. "You found my teddy bear! You are the best friend ever!" + +Tom smiles and hugs Lily and her teddy bear. + +"I'm happy too, Lily!" Tom says. "You are the best friend ever too!" + +Lily and Tom are happy. They have found Lily's teddy bear. They have had a big adventure. They decide to share some bread with the ducks and fish. They play in the park until it is time to go home. They carry their teddy bear and their balloon. They are the best friends ever. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went to visit their grandma at the hospital. Grandma was elderly and sick, so she had to stay in a bed with a lot of wires and machines. + +"Hello, my darlings," Grandma said, smiling weakly. "I'm so happy to see you." + +Lily and Ben hugged Grandma and gave her some flowers and a card. They wanted to make her feel better. + +"Can we play with you, Grandma?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, my dear. What do you want to play?" Grandma said. + +Lily looked around the room and saw a lot of books and puzzles on a table. She liked books and puzzles. She picked one up and said, "Let's do this puzzle, Grandma. It has a lot of colors and shapes." + +Ben looked at the puzzle and frowned. He did not like puzzles. He liked cars and trucks. He saw a toy car on the floor and said, "No, let's play with this car, Grandma. It can go fast and make noises." + +Lily and Ben started to argue. They both wanted Grandma to play with them, but they wanted different things. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Grandma said, raising her hand. "You are making too much noise. You are hurting my head. And you are not being nice to each other. You are twins. You should share and take turns." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to hurt Grandma or make her sad. They looked at each other and said, "We're sorry, Grandma. We love you." + +They hugged Grandma again and said, "Can we join you, Grandma? Can we do both the puzzle and the car?" + +Grandma smiled and said, "Yes, of course. You can join me. You can do both the puzzle and the car. But you have to be quiet and gentle. And you have to help each other. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma. We can do that." + +They sat on the bed with Grandma and started to play. They did the puzzle together, finding the right pieces and fitting them in. They also played with the car, pushing it softly and making soft noises. They had fun and made Grandma happy. They learned to join and share. +Sam liked motorcycles very much. He had a toy motorcycle that he played with every day. He made loud noises with his mouth when he pushed it on the floor. He named his toy motorcycle Zoom. + +One day, Sam saw a big motorcycle parked outside his house. It was shiny and red and had a big wheel. Sam wanted to touch it and sit on it. He ran to the motorcycle and tried to climb on it. + +"Hey, stop that!" a voice said. Sam turned and saw a man walking to the motorcycle. He had a helmet and a jacket. He looked angry. "That's my motorcycle. You can't touch it. It's not a toy." + +Sam felt scared and sad. He liked the motorcycle. He wanted to play with it. He did not want to leave it. He was stubborn. He held on to the motorcycle and said, "No, it's mine. It's Zoom." + +The man shook his head. He was not happy. He tried to pull Sam off the motorcycle. Sam kicked and screamed. He did not listen. He was very stubborn. + +"Sam, what are you doing?" another voice said. Sam looked and saw his mom. She had come out of the house. She saw Sam and the man and the motorcycle. She was surprised and worried. She ran to Sam and said, "Sam, let go of the motorcycle. It's not yours. It's the man's. You have to be polite and say sorry." + +Sam did not want to say sorry. He wanted to keep the motorcycle. He was still stubborn. He said, "No, it's mine. It's Zoom." + +His mom sighed. She was not happy. She said, "Sam, you are being very stubborn. You have to listen to me and the man. You have to share and be nice. You have your own toy motorcycle. You can play with it at home. But you can't take other people's things. That's not right." + +Sam looked at his mom. He looked at the man. He looked at the motorcycle. He felt a little sorry. He knew his mom was right. He let go of the motorcycle. He said, "Sorry, man. Sorry, Zoom." + +The man smiled. He was not angry anymore. He said, "It's okay, kid. I understand. You like motorcycles. They are cool. But you have to be careful. They are not toys. They are dangerous. Maybe when you are older, you can have your own motorcycle. But for now, you can play with your toy motorcycle. What's its name?" + +Sam smiled. He was not sad anymore. He said, "Its name is Zoom. It's fast and loud and fun." + +The man nodded. He said, "That's a good name. I like it. My motorcycle's name is Red. It's also fast and loud and fun. Do you want to see it?" + +Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, please." + +The man showed Sam his motorcycle. He let Sam touch it and sit on it. He told Sam about the parts and the sounds and the rules. Sam listened and learned. He was happy. He said, "Thank you, man. Thank you, Red." + +The man said, "You're welcome, kid. You're welcome, Zoom." + +Sam's mom watched them. She was proud and relieved. She said, "Thank you, man. Thank you, Red. You are very kind and patient. Sam, you are very brave and smart. You learned a lesson today. You learned to be polite and share and not be stubborn. I'm glad you made a new friend." + +Sam and the man looked at her. They said, "You're welcome, mom. You're welcome, Zoom." +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the garden. They dig holes and make mud pies. They mix dirt and water and grass and leaves. They pretend they are chefs and make yummy food. + +One day, they find a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside. They peek into the hole and see something shiny. They want to get it out. They use a stick and a rope and try to pull it up. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. He holds a metal box in his hands. It has a lock and a key. He opens the box and sees many coins and jewels. "We are rich!" he says. + +"No, we are not!" Sam says. He is angry. He thinks Tim is not fair. He wants to have the box too. He tries to grab it from Tim. They start to fight. + +"Stop it, boys!" Mom says. She hears them shouting and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the box and the hole. She is surprised. She knows the box is old and belongs to someone else. She is clever. She knows what to do. + +"Boys, this is not your box. This is underground treasure. Someone hid it here a long time ago. We have to give it back. Maybe it is a museum or a family. They will be happy to see it. Come on, let's go inside and call them." Mom says. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They like the box and the shiny things. But they listen to Mom. They know she is right. They stop fighting and follow her. They hope they can see the box again. They wonder who it belongs to. They learn something new. They have a big adventure. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Lily had an idea. She wanted to make a door for her house. She found a big block that looked like a door. She tried to attach it to her house, but it was too heavy. It fell down and made a loud noise. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. He ran to help her. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to have a door for her house, but she could not attach it. She felt helpless. She started to cry. + +"Don't cry, Lily. I can help you," Tom said. He was a good brother. He picked up the door block and looked for a way to attach it. He saw some sticky tape on the table. He had an idea. He took some tape and wrapped it around the door block and the house. He made sure it was strong and tight. + +"Look, Lily. I attached the door for you. Now you have a door for your house," Tom said. He smiled and showed her his work. + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at the door and the house. She was happy. She hugged Tom and thanked him. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. You helped me," Lily said. She smiled and kissed him. + +They played with the door and the house. They opened and closed the door. They pretended to live in the house. They had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy automobiles. They had many different colors and sizes of automobiles, and they made them zoom and honk on the floor. One day, they decided to play with their dad's real automobile in the garage. They opened the door and climbed inside. + +"Wow, this is so big and shiny!" Lily said, touching the steering wheel. + +"Look, there are buttons and keys!" Tom said, grabbing the keys from the dashboard. + +"Let's pretend we are driving to the park!" Lily said, putting on a seat belt. + +Tom put the key in the ignition and turned it. The automobile made a loud noise and started to move. Tom and Lily screamed. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Lily said, hitting the horn. + +"I don't know how to stop!" Tom said, pushing the pedals. + +The automobile bumped into the garage wall and stopped. Tom and Lily were scared and crying. They heard their dad running to the garage. + +"What are you doing in here?" their dad asked, opening the door. He saw the dent in the wall and the keys in the ignition. He was angry and worried. + +"We're sorry, dad, we just wanted to play!" Tom and Lily said, sobbing. + +"You could have been hurt or worse! You should never touch the keys or the buttons in the automobile! They are not toys, they are dangerous!" their dad said, taking them out of the automobile. He locked the door and took the keys with him. + +He hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are okay, but you have to be more careful and wise. You have to listen to me and mom when we tell you not to do something. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, dad, we understand. We're sorry, we won't do it again." + +Their dad smiled and said, "I love you, but you have to learn from your mistakes. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk. And no more playing with the automobile, okay?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Okay, dad, we love you too." They followed their dad inside and left the automobile alone. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but they both wanted the same car. It was a red car with a blue wire on the back. The wire could make the car go fast or slow, or turn left or right. Tom and Sam were very competitive. They always wanted to win the races with their cars. + +One day, they decided to race their cars on the street. They asked their mom if they could go outside. She said yes, but they had to be careful and stay away from the big road. She also told them to wave to her from the window when they were done. Tom and Sam agreed and ran outside with their cars and the wire. + +They found a good spot to race their cars. They drew a line with a stick to mark the start and the end of the race. They put their cars on the line and held the wire in their hands. They counted to three and pressed the wire. The cars zoomed away, making loud noises. Tom and Sam ran after them, cheering and shouting. + +Tom's car was a little bit faster than Sam's car. He was ahead of Sam by a few inches. He looked back and saw Sam's face. He was angry and sad. Tom felt sorry for his brother. He wanted to make him happy. He had an idea. He slowed down his car a little bit, so that Sam could catch up. He smiled and waved to Sam, hoping he would understand. + +Sam saw Tom's car getting closer to his car. He was surprised and happy. He thought Tom was being nice to him. He smiled and waved back to Tom, feeling grateful. He also slowed down his car a little bit, so that they could finish the race together. They crossed the line at the same time, holding their cars and the wire. They hugged and laughed. + +They looked up and saw their mom at the window. She was smiling and clapping. She was proud of her boys. They waved to her and shouted, "We love you, mom!" She waved back and said, "I love you too, my sweet boys!" Tom and Sam felt warm and happy. They learned that playing together was more fun than winning alone. They decided to share their cars and the wire from then on. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see many leaves on the ground. The leaves are red, yellow and brown. They are pretty. + +"Let's gather the leaves and make a big pile!" Ben says. + +"OK, that sounds fun!" Mia says. + +They run around and pick up the leaves. They put them in a big pile. The pile is very high. They are happy. + +"Look, we have so many leaves!" Ben says. + +"Yes, we do! Can we jump in the pile?" Mia asks. + +"Sure, let's do it!" Ben says. + +They run to the pile and jump in. The leaves are soft and crunchy. They laugh and giggle. They have fun. + +But then, they see a big dog. The dog is black and white. He has a long tail. He looks friendly. He runs to the pile and jumps in too. He barks and wags his tail. He likes the leaves. + +"Hi, doggy!" Ben says. + +"Hello, doggy!" Mia says. + +The dog licks their faces. He is wet and warm. He is heavy. He makes them fall down. They are surprised. + +"Wow, you are a big doggy!" Ben says. + +"Yes, you are a heavy doggy!" Mia says. + +But they are not scared. They are happy. They pet the dog and play with him. He is their new friend. They have more fun. +Lila and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big box with a lock. They want to know what is inside. + +"Maybe it is a toy," Lila says. + +"Maybe it is a cake," Ben says. + +They look for a key to unlock the box. They find a small key in the grass. They try to fit it in the lock, but it is too small. + +They look for a bigger key. They find a big key in the shed. They try to fit it in the lock, but it is too big. + +They look for a measure to see how big the lock is. They find a ruler in the house. They measure the lock. It is four inches long. + +They look for a key that is four inches long. They find a furry key in the closet. It is a toy key that belongs to Lila's teddy bear. + +They try to fit it in the lock, but it does not work. It is a fake key. + +They are sad. They cannot unlock the box. + +They hear a voice from inside the box. It says, "Hello, I am a furry friend. Can you please let me out?" + +They are surprised. They wonder who is in the box. + +They ask, "Who are you?" + +The voice says, "I am a kitten. I was hiding in the box, but I got locked in. Can you please find a real key and unlock the box?" + +They are happy. They love kittens. They run to find a real key and unlock the box. + +They open the box and see a furry kitten. It is white and black and has blue eyes. It purrs and licks their faces. + +They hug the kitten and name it Furry. They play with it in the garden. They are very happy. They have a new furry friend. +Lily and Ben wanted to have a picnic in the park. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a basket. They also took a big blanket to sit on. They were very happy and excited. + +They found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket on the grass and put the basket on it. They opened the basket and took out the food. They started to eat and drink and talk. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" Lily said, pointing to a blue bird on a branch. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is, Lily. Do you want to give it some bread?" Ben asked, breaking a piece of bread. + +"Okay, let's try. Maybe it will come closer." Lily said, holding out the bread. + +They waited for the bird to come, but it did not. Instead, a big dog came running towards them. It saw the food on the blanket and jumped on it. It knocked over the basket and the juice. It ate the bread, cheese and fruit. It made a big mess. + +"Hey, stop it! Go away!" Ben shouted, trying to push the dog away. + +"Help! Help!" Lily cried, scared of the dog. + +The dog did not listen. It barked and growled and bit the blanket. It tore it with its teeth. It ruined the picnic. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They had no food, no juice, no blanket. They had nothing. They had to go home. + +They picked up the basket and the torn blanket. They tried to wipe the juice and the dirt from their clothes. They walked back to their car. + +They did not have a nice picnic. They had a bad picnic. They wished they never saw the dog. They wished they never came to the park. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today, Mom says they have to help her clean the hall. The hall is very long and has many things on the floor. + +Lila and Ben do not want to clean the hall. They are lazy. They want to stay in their room and play. They resist Mom. They say, "No, Mom, we do not want to clean the hall. We want to play!" + +Mom is not happy. She says, "Lila and Ben, you have to clean the hall. It is your job. If you do not clean the hall, you will not get a snack. And you will not watch TV. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben do not like Mom's words. They do not want to miss their snack and TV. But they still do not want to clean the hall. They think of a plan. They say, "OK, Mom, we will clean the hall. But can we play a game first?" + +Mom is curious. She says, "What game do you want to play?" + +Lila and Ben smile. They say, "We want to play hide and seek. You count to ten and we hide. Then you find us. And then we clean the hall. OK?" + +Mom thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, we can play hide and seek. But only for a little while. And then you have to clean the hall. No more tricks. Deal?" + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "Deal!" They run to hide. They hope Mom will not find them. They hope they can play for a long time. They hope they can forget about the hall. They are very clever. But they are also very lazy. +Anna liked blueberries very much. She liked how they were small and round and sweet. She liked how they made her tongue purple when she ate them. She liked how they grew on a bush in her garden. + +One day, Anna saw a blueberry bush full of ripe blueberries. She ran to it and picked some in her hand. She ate them one by one and smiled. She wanted more. She picked more and more until her hand was full again. She ate them all and still wanted more. + +But the blueberry bush was not happy. It did not like how Anna ate all its blueberries. It wanted to keep some for itself and for the birds and the bees. It tried to stop Anna from picking more. It made its branches prickly and its leaves scratchy. It shook and rustled and snapped. + +But Anna was persistent. She did not care about the prickles and the scratches and the noises. She only cared about the blueberries. She reached for more and more until there were none left. She ate them all and licked her fingers. + +The blueberry bush was sad and angry. It had no blueberries left. It felt empty and lonely. It wished Anna would go away and leave it alone. It wished Anna would say sorry and share some blueberries with it. But Anna did not. She just ran away to find more things to eat. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they act like soldiers. They wear hats and hold sticks. They march around the yard. + +"Left, right, left, right!" Lila says. She is the leader. Ben follows her. + +They see a big dog. The dog barks. It runs to them. Lila and Ben are scared. They drop their sticks. They run away. + +"Help, help!" Ben cries. He is weak. He falls down. The dog is near. + +Lila stops. She turns around. She picks up a stick. She waves it at the dog. + +"Go away, bad dog!" she shouts. She is brave. The dog stops. It whines. It runs away. + +Lila helps Ben up. They hug. They are safe. + +"Thank you, Lila," Ben says. "You are a good soldier." + +Lila smiles. "You are welcome, Ben. You are my friend." +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles, dug holes, and collected shells. One day, they saw a big boat on the sea. It had a flag and a sail and looked very fun. + +"Let's go on the boat!" Ben said. He was eager to see what was inside. + +"But we can't swim," Sam said. He was afraid of the deep water. + +"We can use this raft," Ben said. He pointed to a wooden raft that was tied to a pole. "It will float on the sea and take us to the boat." + +Ben untied the raft and pushed it into the water. He climbed on and called Sam to join him. Sam hesitated, but he did not want to be left behind. He got on the raft and held on tight. + +The raft moved slowly on the sea. Ben and Sam felt the wind and the waves. They saw fish and birds and seaweed. They were happy and excited. + +But then, the sea became rough. The raft rocked and spun. The water splashed and soaked them. They were scared and cold. + +"Help! Help!" Ben and Sam shouted. They wished they had stayed on the beach. + +They saw the boat getting closer. They hoped someone would hear them and save them. + +But the boat did not stop. It passed by them and kept going. Ben and Sam saw that the flag and the sail were not real. They were made of paper and sticks. The boat was not fun. It was a trap. + +Someone had left the boat and the raft on the sea to trick people. They wanted to steal their things or hurt them. Ben and Sam had been fooled. + +They cried and hugged each other. They prayed for help. + +Then, they heard a horn. They looked up and saw another boat. It was a real boat. It had a motor and a life ring and a friendly man. + +"Are you okay?" the man asked. He threw the life ring to them and pulled them on board. + +"We're sorry," Ben and Sam said. They told him what had happened. + +"That's okay," the man said. He gave them blankets and cookies. "You're safe now. I'll take you back to the beach." + +Ben and Sam thanked him and smiled. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful and not to trust strangers. They learned to listen to their fears and not to be too eager. They learned to succeed in staying safe and happy. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with boats. They had many boats of different colors and sizes. They liked to pretend that they were sailors and explorers. They made a big port with blocks and sand, where they parked their boats. + +One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Tom. He had a big boat that was ugly and dirty. It had holes and stains and broken parts. He put his boat in the port and said, "This is my boat. It is the best boat in the world. Your boats are small and silly. You can't play with me." + +Ben and Sam were sad and angry. They did not like Tom or his boat. They said, "Your boat is ugly and bad. It does not belong in our port. Go away and leave us alone." + +Tom did not go away. He laughed and said, "You can't make me go away. I can do what I want. I will take your boats and break them. Then you will have no boats to play with." + +Ben and Sam were scared and worried. They did not want to lose their boats. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and had an idea. They said, "We have to unite. We have to work together and stop Tom. We have to show him that our boats are better and stronger. We have to protect our port." + +Ben and Sam united. They took their boats and made a big fleet. They used ropes and sticks and stones to make weapons and shields. They sailed their boats towards Tom and his boat. They shouted, "This is our port. You can't take our boats. You can't break our boats. Go away or we will fight you." + +Tom was surprised and scared. He saw that Ben and Sam had united and had many boats and weapons. He saw that his boat was ugly and weak. He said, "No, no, don't fight me. Don't hurt me. Don't hurt my boat. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was mean. Please, let me play with you." + +Ben and Sam stopped. They looked at Tom and his boat. They felt sorry for him. They said, "OK, we will let you play with us. But you have to be nice and share. You have to respect our boats and our port. You have to help us fix your boat and make it better." + +Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "Thank you, thank you. I will be nice and share. I will respect your boats and your port. I will help you fix my boat and make it better." + +Ben and Sam smiled and nodded. They said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Come on, let's play together. Let's unite and have fun." + +They united and played together. They fixed Tom's boat and made it nicer. They shared their boats and their port. They pretended that they were sailors and explorers. They had a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today, Mom and Dad take them to the beach. The beach has sand and water and shells. Anna and Ben are happy. + +They run to the water and splash each other. They make sand castles and dig holes. They find some shells and put them in a bucket. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Mom says it is time to go home. She tells Anna and Ben to pack their things and follow her. Anna says okay and picks up her bucket. But Ben does not want to go. He likes the beach. He says no. + +"Ben, come on, we have to go," Mom says. "It is getting late and we have to eat dinner." + +"No, I want to stay!" Ben says. He refuses to leave. He sits on the sand and crosses his arms. + +Mom is not happy. She goes to Ben and tries to lift him up. But Ben is heavy and he kicks and screams. He makes a lot of noise. The beach is not quiet anymore. Some people look at them and shake their heads. + +Anna does not like Ben's noise. She thinks he is being silly and rude. She goes to Ben and says, "Ben, stop it. You are making Mom sad. And you are making the beach noisy. The beach is supposed to be quiet and nice. Don't you like the beach?" + +Ben looks at Anna. He thinks for a moment. He likes the beach. He likes the sand and the water and the shells. He does not want to make the beach noisy and bad. He does not want to make Mom sad. He wants to be a good brother to Anna. + +He stops kicking and screaming. He says sorry to Mom. He picks up his bucket and follows Mom and Anna. They go to the car and drive home. The beach is quiet and nice again. Anna and Ben hug each other. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to run after it. + +One day, the ball went over the fence and into the pond. Anna and Ben saw a big net on the ground near the fence. They thought they could use the net to get the ball back. + +"Let's take the net and fish the ball out of the pond," Anna said. + +"No, we can't do that," Ben said. "The net belongs to someone else. We have to mind the net and leave it alone." + +"But I want the ball," Anna said. "It's our ball. We can borrow the net for a little while and then put it back." + +Anna did not listen to Ben. She took the net and climbed over the fence. She tried to reach the ball with the net, but the pond was too deep and the net was too heavy. She slipped and fell into the water. She was wet and scared. + +Ben saw Anna fall and ran to help her. He called for help and a man came. The man was the owner of the net. He used his net to pull Anna out of the pond. He was angry and asked Anna why she took his net. + +"I'm sorry, sir," Anna said. "I wanted to get my ball back. I didn't mean to take your net." + +The man looked at the ball and saw that it was old and torn. He felt sorry for Anna and gave her a new ball. He also gave Ben a new ball for being obedient and minding the net. + +Anna and Ben thanked the man and learned their lesson. They learned that they should not take things that are not theirs and that they should listen to each other. They also learned that being obedient and minding the net can bring good things. They played with their new balls and had fun. +Anna and Ben are twins. They go to school every day. They wear the same uniform: a blue shirt and a red skirt or pants. They like to learn new things and play with their friends. + +One day, they have art class. The teacher gives them paper, scissors, glue and crayons. They can make anything they want. Anna decides to make a flower. She cuts out a circle and some petals. Ben decides to make a car. He cuts out a rectangle and some wheels. + +They are very busy and happy. They do not see the glue bottle on the floor. It fell from the table when someone bumped into it. The glue spills out and makes the floor sticky and slippery. + +"Look, Anna, I made a car!" Ben says. He holds up his paper car and walks to Anna's table. He does not see the glue on the floor. He steps on it and slips. He falls down and drops his car. His uniform gets dirty and wet. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna says. She runs to help him. She sees the glue on the floor. She is careful not to step on it. She helps Ben get up. She sees his car on the floor. It is torn and crumpled. She feels sorry for him. + +"I'm okay, Anna, but my car is ruined," Ben says. He looks at his car and frowns. He also looks at his uniform and frowns. He does not like to be dirty and wet. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, your car was very nice," Anna says. She has an idea. She picks up his car and her flower. She uses some glue and crayons to fix his car. She adds her flower to the top of his car. She makes it look like a funny and colorful car. + +"Here, Ben, I made your car better," Anna says. She gives him his car and smiles. She hopes he will like it. + +Ben looks at his car and smiles. He likes it. He thinks it is a special and fun car. He hugs Anna and thanks her. + +"Thank you, Anna, you are very kind," Ben says. He likes his sister. He thinks she is very smart and creative. + +The teacher sees them and smiles. She is proud of them. She thinks they are very curious and helpful. She gives them some stickers and praises them. + +"Good job, Anna and Ben, you made wonderful art," the teacher says. She helps them clean up and change their uniform. She tells them they can take their art home and show their parents. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hold their art and walk to the bus. They can't wait to tell their parents about their day. They learned a lot and had fun. They also learned to be careful and to help each other. They are good twins. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big sign that said "Do not pick the flowers". Lily wanted to pick a flower for her mom. She thought the sign was bossy. + +"Come on, Ben, let's pick a flower. The sign is silly. Mom will like it," she said. + +"No, Lily, we have to listen to the sign. It is a rule. If we break the rule, we will be in trouble," Ben said. + +Lily did not care. She ran to the flower bed and picked a yellow flower. She smelled it and smiled. Ben followed her and shook his head. + +Suddenly, Lily sneezed. She sneezed again and again. The flower made her nose tickle. She dropped the flower and rubbed her nose. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"No, I'm not okay. The flower made me sneeze. It hurts. I don't like the flower. I'm sorry, Ben. You were right. We should have listened to the sign," Lily said. + +Ben hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. Let's go back to the slide. Maybe that will make you feel better." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Ben. Thank you. You are a good friend. Next time, I will listen to the sign. And to you." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks and cars. One day, they find a big pile of sand in the park. They want to load the sand on their trucks and make a castle. + +"Look, Sam, I have a red truck. It can load a lot of sand," Tom says. + +"I have a blue truck. It can load more sand than yours," Sam says. + +They start to load their trucks with sand. They fill them up and drive them to a clear spot. They dump the sand and make a big hill. They pat the hill and make it smooth. They are happy. + +"Let's make a door and windows for our castle," Tom says. + +"Good idea. And we can make flags and towers too," Sam says. + +They use sticks and leaves to make the castle look nice. They are proud of their work. They see a girl walking by with her mom. She has a yellow truck. + +"Hi, do you want to play with us?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, please. Your castle is very pretty. Can I help you?" the girl says. + +"Sure, you can. What is your name?" Sam asks. + +"My name is Lily. I like your trucks. Can I load some sand on mine?" Lily says. + +"Of course. You are welcome to join us. We can make the castle bigger and better," Tom says. + +They share their trucks and sand. They load and dump and build. They have fun. They are friends. +Ben liked to play with his flashlight. He would open it and look at the batteries. He would turn it on and off and make shadows on the wall. He would pretend it was a laser or a magic wand. He was very creative. + +One night, Ben heard a loud noise outside his window. He was scared. He grabbed his flashlight and ran to his mom and dad's room. He opened the door and saw them sleeping. He wanted to wake them up, but he did not want to be rude. + +He decided to use his flashlight to find out what the noise was. He opened the window and shone his flashlight outside. He saw a big raccoon on the trash can. It was making a mess. Ben was not scared anymore. He was angry. + +He opened the screen and threw his flashlight at the raccoon. The raccoon ran away. Ben felt proud. He had saved the trash can. He picked up his flashlight and went back to his room. He opened his flashlight and checked the batteries. They were still good. He turned it on and off and made shadows on the wall. He pretended it was a rocket or a sword. He was very creative. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a thick rope hanging from a branch. They wanted to swing on the rope and have fun. + +"Can I go first?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful," Tom said. He helped Lily hold the rope and gave her a push. + +Lily felt the wind in her hair as she swung back and forth. She laughed and shouted, "This is fun!" + +Tom waited for his turn. He watched Lily swing higher and higher. He saw the sun rise in the sky and make the leaves glow. + +"Wow, you are so high!" Tom said. "Can I try now?" + +Lily nodded and slowed down. She let go of the rope and landed on the grass. She smiled and said, "That was great! Your turn now!" + +Tom grabbed the rope and swung on it. He felt the thrill of rising and falling. He laughed and shouted, "This is fun!" + +Lily and Tom took turns swinging on the rope. They had a lot of fun in the park. They did not want to leave, but they heard their mom call them. + +"Time to go, kids!" Mom said. "We have to go home and have lunch." + +Lily and Tom ran to their mom. They hugged her and said, "Thank you for taking us to the park, Mom. We had fun on the rope!" + +Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you had fun. Now let's go home and eat. You must be hungry after all that swinging!" +Tom and Anna are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a big truck and Anna has a small doll. They pretend that the truck is a bus and the doll is a passenger. + +"Where are we going, bus driver?" Anna asks Tom. + +"We are going to the park, miss," Tom says. "It is a nice day for a ride." + +They make noises with their mouths as the truck moves along the carpet. They pass by a table where their mom is working on her laptop. She has a cup of coffee and a plate of cookies next to her. + +"Look, mom has cookies!" Tom says. "Can we have some, mom?" + +Mom looks at them and smiles. "Sure, you can have some, but only after you serve me some tea," she says. + +Tom and Anna nod and run to the kitchen. They find a toy tea set and fill the pot with water. They bring it back to the living room and set it on the table. + +"Here you go, mom, some tea for you," Anna says. + +"Thank you, sweetie, you are very kind," mom says. She pours some water into a cup and pretends to drink it. + +Tom and Anna also pour some water into their cups and drink it. Then they take some cookies from the plate and eat them. + +"Yum, these are good cookies, mom," Tom says. + +"I'm glad you like them, honey," mom says. "Do you want to share some with your toys?" + +Tom and Anna think for a moment. They look at their toys and see that they are still on the carpet. + +"Maybe they are hungry too," Anna says. + +"Or maybe they are restless," Tom says. + +They decide to share some cookies with their toys. They break the cookies into small pieces and give them to the truck and the doll. + +"Here you go, bus driver, some cookies for you," Anna says. + +"Here you go, miss, some cookies for you," Tom says. + +They make their toys say thank you and eat the cookies. They pretend that the toys are happy and full. + +Mom watches them and smiles. She thinks that they are very creative and sweet. She is proud of them for serving her tea and sharing their cookies. She decides to join them and play with them. She picks up another toy from the shelf. It is a figure of a lion. + +"Roar, I am a lion, and I want some cookies too," she says. + +Tom and Anna laugh and give some cookies to the lion. They welcome him to their bus and their park. They have fun playing together. They are a happy family. +Lily and Sam are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they are bored. They want to do something new and fun. + +"Let's play dress-up!" Lily says. She runs to the closet and opens it. She sees many clothes and hangers. She takes a hanger and puts it on her head. "Look, I'm a princess!" she says. + +Sam laughs. He takes another hanger and puts it on his arm. "Look, I'm a robot!" he says. He makes beeping noises and walks stiffly. + +They have fun pretending to be different things with the hangers. They try to make each other laugh. They forget they are bored. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the mess in the closet. She sees the clothes on the floor. She sees the hangers on the kids. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "You are making a big mess. You are not playing with the hangers. They are for hanging clothes, not for wearing. And the clothes are not toys. They are for wearing, too. And they are not dry. They are wet. I just washed them. You are making them dirty again." + +Lily and Sam feel bad. They did not know they were doing something wrong. They did not want to make Mom angry. They take off the hangers and put them back in the closet. They pick up the clothes and put them in the basket. They say sorry to Mom. + +Mom smiles. She hugs them. She says, "It's okay. I know you were just trying to have fun. But next time, please ask me before you play with the hangers and the clothes. And please use your own toys. They are more fun and safe. And they are dry." +Sam likes to play with his model cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them go fast and make noises. He thinks his cars are great. + +One day, his mom says, "Sam, it is time to change. We have to go to the store. Put your cars away and put on your shoes." Sam does not want to change. He wants to play with his cars. He says, "No, mom, I want to play. I do not want to go." + +His mom says, "Sam, you have to listen. We have to go now. You can play later. Come on, be a good boy." Sam still does not want to change. He says, "No, mom, you are mean. I do not like you." He throws his cars on the floor and stomps his feet. + +His mom is angry. She says, "Sam, that is enough. You are being very naughty. You have to go to your room. You cannot play with your cars anymore. You have to stay there until you say sorry." She picks up Sam and takes him to his room. She closes the door and leaves. + +Sam is sad. He cries and cries. He wants his cars. He wants his mom. He does not like his room. He does not like to change. He thinks his mom is not great. He thinks his day is bad. He wishes he had listened. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with different colors. Lily likes to put the blue blocks on top, but Ben likes to put the red blocks on top. + +"Let me put the red block, Lily," Ben says. "It looks better." + +"No, Ben, the blue block is better," Lily says. "It is my turn." + +They both pull on the block and the tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise and scatter on the floor. Lily and Ben start to cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the mess and the tears. + +"What happened, Lily and Ben?" Mom asks. "Why are you crying?" + +"Lily and Ben broke the tower," they both say. "They wanted the same block." + +Mom hugs them and wipes their tears. + +"I'm sorry, Lily and Ben," Mom says. "It is not fun to break the tower. But you can build it again. You just have to share and take turns." + +She picks up some blocks and gives them to Lily and Ben. + +"Why don't you suggest a new way to build the tower?" Mom says. "Maybe you can use different shapes or patterns. Or you can make two towers, one for each of you." + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. They look at the blocks and at each other. + +"I have an idea," Lily says. "We can make a home with the blocks. We can use the blue blocks for the roof and the red blocks for the door." + +"That sounds good," Ben says. "We can also use the green blocks for the grass and the yellow blocks for the sun." + +They smile and nod. They start to build the home together. They are patient and help each other. They are happy and proud of their home. + +Mom watches them and smiles too. She is glad that they are playing nicely. She thinks they are very smart and creative. She loves them very much. +Lily was very sad. She had a terrible exam at school. She had to write many words and numbers, but she did not know them. She felt very silly and scared.

I love you. You did your best." + +Lily said, "But mom, I did not do well. I did not know the words and numbers. The teacher was angry. The other kids laughed. I am a bad girl." + +Her mom said, "No, Lily, you are not a bad girl. You are a good girl. You are smart and kind and brave. You just need to practice more. The words and numbers are hard, but you can learn them. The teacher was not angry. She was trying to help you. The other kids were not laughing. They were nervous too. Everyone makes mistakes. It's okay to cry, but you have to dry your tears and try again." + +Lily looked at her mom and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. You make me feel better. I love you. Can we go home and read a book?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, Lily, we can. I have a new book for you. It has many pictures and easy words. You will like it. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and her mom walked to the car. Lily felt happy. She knew she had a terrible exam, but she also knew she had a wonderful mom. She was ready to learn and have fun.

One day, they find a big box of crayons. Lily and Ben both want the crayons. They start to pull and push. They yell and cry. They make a lot of noise. Mom hears the loud noise. She comes to see what is wrong. + +Mom is not happy. She says, "Why are you fighting? You have to share. Crayons are for everyone. Fighting is not nice. It hurts your feelings and your fingers. Look, you have red marks on your fingers. How do you think that feels?" + +Lily and Ben stop fighting. They look at their fingers. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We do not want to hurt our fingers or our feelings. We want to share. We want to be nice. How can we share the crayons?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is good. You can share the crayons by taking turns. You can also draw together. You can make a big picture with many colors. You can think of something you like and draw it. You can show me your picture when you are done." + +Lily and Ben like Mom's idea. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We will share and draw together. We will think of something nice and make a big picture.

They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They wanted to go outside and see the big world. + +They saw a window in their room. It was high, but they had a chair. They moved the chair to the window and climbed on it. They opened the window and saw the sky. It was blue and bright. They saw birds and clouds and trees.

They like to play in the park. One day, they find a book on a bench. The book has many poems inside. + +"What is a poem?" Lily asks. + +Tom says, "A poem is a kind of story. But it is different. It has words that sound nice together. And it has lines that are short or long." + +"Can we read a poem?" Lily says. + +Tom nods. He opens the book and points to a poem. The poem is about stars. Tom and Lily read the poem together. + +"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, +How I wonder what you are. +Up above the world so high, +Like a diamond in the sky." + +"That is a nice poem," Lily says. "I like the star. It is shiny and bright." + +"Me too," Tom says. "Do you know how many stars there are?" + +Lily shakes her head. "No, I don't. Do you?" + +Tom says, "No, I don't.

But there are too many stars. They cannot count them all. + +"Wow, there are so many stars," Tom says. "We cannot count them all. They are too many." + +Lily says, "Maybe that is why the poem says, 'How I wonder what you are.' Because the stars are so many and so different. They are like a mystery." + +Tom says, "Maybe you are right. The stars are like a mystery. And the poem is like a way to say hello to them." + +Tom and Lily smile. They like the poem. They like the stars. They like to count. They like to wonder. They are happy. +Tim and Lily are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big cable on the ground.

He was making a lot of noise and scaring people. + +Tom and Anna did not like the man. They hid behind their mom and dad and held their hands. They wondered why the man was acting so crazy. They wanted him to stop and be quiet. They hoped he would not hurt anyone. + +Soon, some other men came and took the crazy man away. They said he was sick and needed help. They said they were sorry for the trouble. The people in the church were relieved and thanked them. Tom and Anna realized that the crazy man was not bad, just sick. They felt sorry for him and hoped he would get better. They prayed for him and for everyone in the church. They learned that sometimes people do things that are hard to understand, but God loves them anyway. +Lila and Tom went to the lake with their dad. They wanted to catch some fish. Dad gave them each a rod and a hook. He showed them how to tie a worm on the hook. + +"Be careful with the hook," he said. "It can hurt you if you touch it." + +Lila and Tom nodded. They threw their lines into the water and waited. They saw some fish swimming near the surface. They hoped the fish would like their worms. + +Suddenly, Tom felt a tug on his line. He pulled hard and lifted his rod. He had caught a big fish! + +"Look, Lila, look!" he shouted. "I got a fish!" + +Lila looked and clapped. She was happy for Tom.

It looked hurt and scared. + +Tom felt sorry for the fish. He did not want to hurt it. He wanted to let it go. + +"Dad, dad, can I let the fish go?" he asked. "It is hurt. I don't want it." + +Dad came over and saw the fish. He nodded. + +"Okay, Tom, you can let the fish go," he said. "You are a kind boy. Sometimes fishing can hurt the fish. We have to be gentle with them." + +He helped Tom take the hook out of the fish's eye. He put the fish back in the water. The fish swam away. + +Tom felt better. He smiled at Lila. + +"Maybe we can catch another fish," he said. "But not hurt it." + +Lila smiled back. + +"Okay," she said. "Let's try again." +Sara loved to go to the park with her dog, Spot. Spot was a big, brown dog who liked to run and play. Sara's mom always put a leash on Spot, so he would not run away or bother other people. + +One day, Sara saw an elderly lady sitting on a bench. The lady had a small, white dog on her lap. The dog was wearing a pink bow and a sweater. Sara thought the dog was very cute and wanted to pet it. + +"Mom, can I go say hi to the lady and her dog?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, but you have to ask the lady first. And you have to hold Spot's leash, okay?" Sara's mom said. + +"Okay, mom," Sara said. She walked over to the bench with Spot. "Hello, lady. What is your dog's name?" + +The lady smiled and said, "Hello, dear. My dog's name is Fluffy. She is very friendly. Do you want to pet her?" + +"Yes, please," Sara said. She reached out her hand to touch Fluffy's soft fur. Fluffy licked Sara's hand and wagged her tail. + +Spot sniffed Fluffy and tried to play with her. He pulled on his leash and barked. Sara held on to the leash, but it was hard. Spot was much stronger than her. + +"Spot, stop it! You are scaring Fluffy!" Sara said. + +The lady said, "It's okay, dear. Spot is just curious. He wants to be friends with Fluffy. But maybe you should ask your mom to help you with the leash. He is a big dog, and you are a little girl." + +Sara nodded and said, "Okay, lady. Thank you for letting me pet Fluffy. She is very nice. Bye-bye!" + +Sara walked back to her mom with Spot. She told her mom what happened and asked her to help her with the leash. Sara's mom said, "You did a good job, Sara. You were polite and gentle with the lady and her dog. And you were brave and responsible with Spot. I'm proud of you." + +Sara smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "I love you, mom. And I love Spot, too. Even if he is silly sometimes." +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw many ducks in the pond. Lily and Ben liked the ducks. They wanted to feed them bread. + +"Can we feed the ducks, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And don't try to hold the ducks. They might bite you," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They took some bread from Mom and threw it to the ducks. The ducks came closer and ate the bread. They quacked and splashed. + +Lily saw a small duck that was yellow and fluffy. She thought it was cute. She wanted to hold it. She forgot what Mom said. She walked to the edge of the pond and reached out her hand. + +"Come here, little duck. I want to hold you," Lily said. + +But the little duck was naughty. It did not want to be held. It bit Lily's finger. Lily cried out. She let go of the duck and ran back to Mom. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The duck bit me!" Lily said. + +Mom hugged Lily and looked at her finger. It was red and sore. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. That was a naughty duck. But you should have listened to me. You should not try to hold the ducks. They are wild animals. They don't like to be touched," Mom said. + +Lily nodded. She was sorry too. She learned her lesson. She did not try to hold the ducks again. She and Ben fed them bread from a distance. They had fun at the park. They said goodbye to the ducks and went home. +Lisa and Tom were twins who loved to play with their big ball. The ball was pastel, with many colors like pink, blue, yellow and green. They liked to bounce the ball in the yard, and see how high it could go. + +One day, they saw a bird in the tree. The bird was singing a peaceful song, and had a shiny feather on its head. Lisa and Tom wanted to see the bird closer, so they threw the ball at the tree. But the ball bounced back and hit Lisa on the nose. + +"Ow!" Lisa cried. "That hurt! Why did you do that, Tom?" + +"I didn't do it, Lisa. The ball did it. It bounced too hard," Tom said. + +The bird flew away, scared by the noise. Lisa and Tom felt sorry for the bird, and for each other. They hugged and said sorry. + +"Let's play with the ball more gently," Lisa said. + +"OK, Lisa. And let's be nice to the bird, too," Tom said. + +They bounced the ball softly, and listened to the bird's song. They were happy and peaceful again. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben.

Lily was angry and sad. She did not like Ben's trick. + +"That was not nice, Ben!" Lily said. "You made me scared and hurt my feelings. You are a bad hider and a bad friend." + +Ben felt sorry for Lily. He did not mean to make her scared and sad. He wanted to have fun and make her laugh. He realized he made a mistake. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was trying to be funny, but I was not. I was rude and mean. You are a good seeker and a good friend. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw he was sincere and regretful. She decided to give him another chance. She knew everyone makes mistakes sometimes. + +"OK, Ben," Lily said. "I forgive you. But don't do that again. It's not fun to scare people. It's fun to be kind and fair. Let's play again and take turns to hide and seek." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He thanked Lily for her forgiveness and agreed to play again. He learned his lesson and promised to be a better hider and a better friend. He and Lily played again and had a lot of fun. They shared their toys and snacks and made sure both of them had a turn. They were happy and available to each other. + +The moral of the story is: Don't scare or hurt your friends.

Lily said. + +Mom smiled and said, "You are happy, Ben and Lily. You are brother and sister, and you love each other. Sometimes you fight, but you can always make up and be friends again. Right?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom!" + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. Now, why don't you play nicely with your toys and the phone? And remember to be calm and gentle." + +Ben and Lily said, "OK, Mom!" They went back to their toys and the phone. They played together and shared and took turns. They were calm and happy. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a purple car in the park. It is big and shiny. They want to ride it. + +"Let's go, Kim!" Tim says. He pulls the door and gets in. Kim follows him. They pretend to drive the car. They make loud noises. "Vroom, vroom!" + +But the car is not a toy. It is a police car. A police man sees them. He runs to the car. He is angry. + +"Hey, kids! Get out of the car!" he shouts. He pulls the door and takes Tim and Kim out. They are scared. They cry. + +"Sorry, sorry!" Tim says. "We did not know. We thought it was a toy." + +The police man sighs. He is not so angry now. He sees that they are just kids. He talks to them. + +"This is not a toy. This is a police car. It is for catching bad people. You cannot play with it. It is dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Kim nod. They understand. They say sorry again. + +The police man smiles. He is kind. He gives them a sticker. It has a star and a police hat. He tells them to be good and to go home. + +Tim and Kim say thank you. They run to their mom. They show her the sticker. They tell her what happened. They promise to be careful. + +Mom hugs them. She is glad they are safe. She tells them to play with their own toys. She gives them a purple ball. They like it. They play with it. They are happy. +Tom is a boy who likes to follow his dad to work. His dad works in a big place with many rooms and machines. One of the rooms is called a lab. In the lab, his dad does experiments with different things. + +One day, Tom follows his dad to the lab. He sees a man with a white coat and a grumpy face. The man is holding a big glass with a green liquid. Tom is curious and wants to see what it is. + +"Hello, mister," Tom says. "What are you doing?" + +The man looks at Tom and frowns. He does not like children. He says, "Go away, kid. This is not a place for you. This is a very important experiment. If you touch anything, you will make a big mess." + +Tom feels sad and scared. He does not want to make a mess. He says, "Sorry, mister. I just wanted to see. I will not touch anything." + +The man says, "Too late. You already touched the door. Now the lab is locked. We are stuck here until someone comes to help us." + +Tom is shocked. He did not know the door was locked. He says, "Oh no! What can we do?" + +The man says, "Nothing. We have to wait. And you have to be quiet. You are annoying me." + +Tom does not like the man. He thinks he is very grumpy and mean. He wishes he did not follow his dad to the lab. He hopes someone will come soon and open the door. He misses his dad and his toys. He thinks the lab is a boring and scary place. He decides he will never follow his dad to the lab again. +Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They saw a big melon on the table. Mia liked melon. She wanted to eat some. + +"Can we have some melon, please?" Mia asked her mom. + +"Of course, my dear. Let me cut it for you," mom said. She took a knife and cut the melon into pieces. She put them on a plate and gave it to Mia and Leo. + +"Thank you, mom. The melon looks lovely," Mia said. She took a piece and bit it. It was sweet and juicy. + +"Yum, yum. Me too, thank you, mom," Leo said. He took a piece and ate it. He smiled and licked his lips. + +Mom smiled and watched them. She was happy to see them enjoy the melon. + +"Do you want some more, my loves?" mom asked. + +"Yes, please," Mia and Leo said together. + +Mom cut some more melon and offered it to them. They took some more and ate it. They were full and happy. + +"Thank you, mom. The melon was delicious," Mia and Leo said. + +"You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you liked it," mom said. She hugged them and kissed them. They hugged and kissed her back. + +They all went inside to wash their hands and faces. They had a lovely time with the melon. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Ben has a brown bear that he loves very much. Mia has a doll that she likes to dress up. They are having fun, but then Mia sees Ben's bear and wants to play with it. + +"Can I have your bear, Ben?" Mia asks. + +"No, it's mine. You have your doll," Ben says. + +"Please, just for a little bit," Mia begs. + +"No, go away," Ben says. + +Mia gets angry and grabs the bear from Ben's hands. Ben tries to get it back, but Mia runs away. She hides behind the couch and laughs. + +"Ha ha, I have your bear now. You can't find me," Mia says. + +Ben is very sad and cries. He looks for his bear everywhere, but he can't see it. He thinks his bear has disappeared. + +"Mom, mom, Mia took my bear and it disappeared. Help me, mom," Ben shouts. + +Mom hears Ben and comes to the living room. She sees Mia behind the couch with the bear and Ben crying on the floor. + +"Mia, what are you doing? Why did you take Ben's bear?" Mom asks. + +"I wanted to play with it. It's a nice bear," Mia says. + +"That's not nice, Mia. You have to share and ask nicely. You made Ben very sad. Give him back his bear," Mom says. + +Mia pouts and gives the bear to Ben. Ben hugs his bear and smiles. + +"Thank you, mom. Thank you, Mia," Ben says. + +"Mia, you have to say sorry to Ben and promise not to do that again. Or else, you will go to jail," Mom says. + +"Jail? What's jail?" Mia asks. + +"Jail is a bad place where you can't play or have fun. You have to stay there for a long time if you do something wrong," Mom says. + +Mia doesn't like the sound of jail. She says sorry to Ben and promises to be nice. Mom hugs them both and tells them to play nicely. Ben and Mia play with their toys and share. They are happy and forget about jail. +Ben and Lily are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They add more and more blocks on top of each other. They are careful not to make the tower fall. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so high!" Ben says. He is proud of their work. + +"Yes, Ben, it is very high. But I have an idea. Let's make it even higher!" Lily says. She has a big smile on her face. + +"How can we make it higher, Lily?" Ben asks. He is curious about her idea. + +"Watch me, Ben. I will show you." Lily says. She runs to the kitchen and comes back with a stand. It is a small stand that Mom uses to put cakes on. Lily puts the stand on the floor and puts the tower of blocks on top of it. + +"Wow, Lily, you are so smart! Now our tower is on a stand. It is much higher than before!" Ben says. He is amazed by Lily's idea. + +"Yes, Ben, it is. And look, it is also very cool. It has different colors and shapes. It is the coolest tower ever!" Lily says. She is happy with their tower. + +Ben and Lily hug each other. They are happy too. They have made a cool tower with blocks and a stand. They have also added a lot of fun to their play. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to make mud pies with the dirt and water. They used old pots and pans from the kitchen. They pretended they were chefs in a restaurant. + +"Here is your mud pie, sir," Lily said to Tom. She gave him a plate with a big lump of mud on it. "It is very yummy and crunchy." + +"Thank you, madam," Tom said. He pretended to eat the mud pie with a spoon. He made a funny face. "It is very yummy and crunchy indeed. But I am very full now. I cannot finish it." + +Lily looked at Tom's plate. There was still a lot of mud left. She had an idea. She took the plate from Tom and ran to the flower bed. She dumped the mud on the flowers. She smiled. + +"Now the flowers have some food too," she said. "They will grow big and pretty." + +Tom followed Lily to the flower bed. He saw what she did. He was not happy. He liked the flowers. He did not want them to be covered in mud. + +"Lily, no!" he said. "That is not nice. The flowers do not like mud. They like water and sun. You made them dirty and sad." + +Lily looked at the flowers. She saw that they were brown and wet. She did not think they looked big and pretty. She felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt the flowers. + +"I am sorry, Tom," she said. "I did not know. I wanted to share my mud pie. I thought the flowers would like it." + +Tom saw that Lily was sorry. He was not angry anymore. He wanted to help the flowers. + +"It is okay, Lily," he said. "We can fix it. We can get some water and wash the mud off. Then we can give them some sun and love. They will be happy again." + +Lily nodded. She was glad that Tom was not mad. She wanted to help the flowers too. They ran to the kitchen. They got some empty pots and filled them with water. They went back to the garden. They poured the water on the flowers. They washed the mud off. They saw the flowers' colors again. They smiled. + +"Look, Tom," Lily said. "The flowers are clean and bright. They look big and pretty again." + +"Yes, Lily," Tom said. "They do. And they smell nice too. They are happy again. And so are we." + +They hugged each other. They hugged the flowers. They said sorry and thank you. They went back to their mud pies. They played and laughed. They had fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Sara had a big spoon and Ben had a small knife. They put some flour, eggs, milk and sugar in a bowl and mixed them together. + +"Look, we made cake batter!" Sara said. "Let's put it in the oven and bake it." + +"OK, but be careful. The oven is hot and we need to ask Mom first," Ben said. + +They went to find Mom, who was in the living room. They showed her their bowl and asked if they could use the oven. + +"Sure, you can use the oven, but only with my help. The oven is not a toy and it can burn you if you touch it. Let me get some oven mitts and a baking pan," Mom said. + +Mom helped Sara and Ben pour the batter into the pan and put it in the oven. She set the timer and told them to wait for the beep. + +Sara and Ben went back to the kitchen and played with some pots and pans. They made a lot of noise, banging and clanging them together. + +"Shh, you are too noisy. You will wake up the baby," Mom said from the living room. + +"Sorry, Mom. We are just having fun," Sara said. + +They tried to be quieter, but they still made some noise. They heard the beep from the oven and ran to see their cake. + +"Wow, it smells good. Can we eat it now?" Ben asked. + +"Not yet, it is still very hot. We need to pull it out of the oven and let it cool down first," Mom said. + +She put on the oven mitts and opened the oven door. She pulled out the pan and put it on the counter. + +"Be careful, don't touch it. It will hurt you," she warned. + +Sara and Ben looked at their cake. It was brown and fluffy and had some cracks on top. + +"It looks yummy. Can we put some frosting on it?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, we can do that later. But first, we need to clean up the kitchen. You made a big mess," Mom said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They helped Mom wash the dishes and wipe the table. They were proud of their cake and couldn't wait to taste it. They hoped the baby would wake up soon and join them. They loved to share their food with their family. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big dog with a man. The dog is brown and fluffy. The man is humble. He smiles at Tom and Lily. + +"Hello, children. Do you want to pet my dog? His name is Rex. He is very friendly," the man says. + +"Yes, please. We love dogs," Tom says. He and Lily go near the dog. They touch his fur and ears. Rex wags his tail. He licks Tom and Lily's faces. They giggle. + +"Can we walk with you and Rex?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, why not? But you have to order Rex to sit and stay before we cross the street. He listens very well," the man says. + +"Okay. We can do that," Tom says. He and Lily hold the man's hands. They walk with him and Rex. They come to a street. There are many cars and bikes. + +"Rex, sit. Stay," Tom and Lily order. Rex sits and stays. He looks at them with his big eyes. He waits for the man to say "okay". + +"Good job, children. You are very smart and kind. Rex likes you. Now we can cross the street. Say 'okay', Rex," the man says. + +"Okay, Rex," Tom and Lily say. Rex barks. He stands up. He follows the man. Tom and Lily follow Rex. They cross the street. They are happy. They walk with the man and Rex to the park. They play more. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, but Lily wanted to see the gorilla. She liked the gorilla because he was big and strong and had black fur. Ben liked the gorilla too, but he also wanted to see the lions and the monkeys. + +"Can we go see the lions now?" Ben asked Mom. + +"Not yet, Ben. Lily wants to watch the gorilla for a while. He is doing something funny. Look, he is scratching his head and making faces. Can you be patient, Ben?" Mom said. + +Ben nodded, but he was bored. He wanted to see the lions roar and the monkeys swing. He looked around and saw a cart with ice cream. He liked ice cream. He tugged on Dad's hand and pointed to the cart. + +"Can I have ice cream, Dad?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. You can have ice cream. But you have to share with Lily, okay? And you have to say thank you to the ice cream man. Can you do that, Ben?" Dad said. + +Ben nodded again. He liked to share with Lily. She was his sister and his friend. He followed Dad to the cart and picked a cone with chocolate ice cream. Dad paid the ice cream man and gave Ben the cone. + +"Thank you, ice cream man!" Ben said. + +"You're welcome, little boy. Enjoy your ice cream!" the ice cream man said. + +Ben smiled and licked his ice cream. It was cold and sweet and yummy. He walked back to Mom and Lily, who were still watching the gorilla. He offered his cone to Lily. + +"Here, Lily. You can have some of my ice cream. It is chocolate. Do you like chocolate?" Ben said. + +Lily smiled and took a bite of Ben's ice cream. She liked chocolate. It was her favorite flavor. She thanked Ben and gave him a hug. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. I like your ice cream. And I like the gorilla. He is funny. Do you want to watch him with me?" Lily said. + +Ben nodded and hugged Lily back. He decided to watch the gorilla with Lily for a while. He was not bored anymore. He was happy. He had ice cream and a sister and a gorilla. He thought the zoo was a fun place. +Lily was anxious to go to the gym with her mom. She liked to play with the balls and the mats and the hoops. But she was also scared of the big kids who ran and jumped and shouted. What if they bumped into her or took her toys? + +"Mom, can we go now?" Lily asked, holding her mom's hand. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for our turn. See, there are other people using the gym right now. We have to be patient and polite." Mom said, smiling at Lily. + +Lily looked at the gym and saw a group of adults doing exercises. They looked sweaty and tired. Lily wondered why they did that. It did not look like fun. + +Then she saw a girl about her age, wearing a pink dress and a bow in her hair. The girl was sitting on a bench, watching the adults. She looked bored and lonely. Lily felt sorry for her. + +"Mom, can I go say hi to that girl?" Lily asked, pointing at the pink dress. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful and don't go too far. I'll be right here." Mom said, nodding. + +Lily let go of her mom's hand and walked slowly towards the girl. She smiled and waved. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" Lily said. + +The girl looked up and smiled back. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. I'm here with my dad. He's doing exercises." Anna said. + +"Do you like the gym?" Lily asked. + +"Not really. It's boring and loud. I wish I could play with something." Anna said. + +"Me too. I have a ball in my backpack. Do you want to play with me?" Lily said. + +"Yes, please. That sounds fun." Anna said. + +Lily ran back to her mom and got her ball. Then she and Anna found a corner of the gym where they could play. They tossed the ball, rolled it, bounced it, and giggled. They forgot about their fears and had a good time. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that Lily made a new friend. She hoped that they would see each other again. She thought that the gym was not so bad after all. +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to race with their toy cars. Sam has a red car and Tom has a blue car. They race on the floor, on the table, on the sofa. They make loud noises with their mouths. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +One day, they race on the stairs. Sam is ahead of Tom. He is happy. He thinks he will win. But Tom is not happy. He wants to win. He pushes Sam's car with his hand. Sam's car falls down the stairs. Sam is sad. He cries. + +"Tom, you are bad! You broke my car!" Sam says. + +"No, I am not bad! You are slow! I am fast!" Tom says. + +They start to fight. They hit each other with their fists. They yell and scream. + +Mom hears them. She is in the kitchen. She has a cell. She talks to Dad. She is deaf. She can't hear well. She uses her eyes to read Dad's words on the cell. She sees Sam and Tom fighting on the cell. She is angry. She runs to the stairs. + +"Sam, Tom, stop! Stop fighting!" Mom says. + +She grabs them by their arms. She takes them to their room. She puts them in time out. She says they can't race with their cars for a week. She says they have to say sorry to each other. She says they have to share and be nice. + +Sam and Tom are sorry. They hug each other. They say sorry to Mom. They say they love each other. They say they love Mom. They say they will not fight again. + +Mom smiles. She hugs them. She says she loves them. She says they can race with their cars again, but not on the stairs. She says they have to be careful and safe. She says they have to be quiet and respectful. + +Sam and Tom nod. They say yes, Mom. They go to their room. They race with their cars. They make soft noises with their mouths. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! +Lily and Tom were playing on the beach. They saw a big boat on the water. It was white and shiny. They wanted to go on the boat. + +"Can we go on the boat, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, the boat is not ours. It belongs to someone else. We can only look at it from here," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They liked the boat. They wished they could go on it and see what was inside. + +They kept playing on the sand. They made a castle and a moat. They found some shells and stones. They had fun. + +But then they saw something strange. The boat was moving away from the shore. It was going faster and faster. It was getting smaller and smaller. + +"Look, Mom, the boat is going away!" Tom shouted. + +Mom looked up. She saw the boat too. It was very far now. It was almost gone. + +"Where is it going, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, sweetie. Maybe it is going to another place. Maybe it is going home. Maybe it is going on an adventure," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom watched the boat until it vanished. They could not see it anymore. It was gone. + +They felt a little sad, but also a little curious. They wondered what the boat was doing. They wondered if they would ever see it again. + +They also felt hungry. They had been playing for a long time. They wanted to eat something. + +"Mom, can we have a snack?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, sweetie, let's go to the picnic basket. I have some sandwiches and cookies for you," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom followed Mom to the picnic basket. They ate their snacks. They felt happy and full. + +They still thought about the boat, but they also enjoyed their food and their family. They had a good day on the beach. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big scale in the garage. It is for weighing things. + +"Let's play with the scale!" Tom says. "We can see how heavy we are." + +"OK!" Sue says. "You go first." + +Tom steps on the scale. The needle moves. It shows a number. + +"Wow, you are very heavy!" Sue says. "You are 30!" + +Tom is proud. He thinks he is big and strong. + +"Now you go," Tom says. + +Sue steps on the scale. The needle moves. It shows a smaller number. + +"Ha, you are very light!" Tom says. "You are only 20!" + +Sue is sad. She thinks she is small and weak. + +"I don't like this game," Sue says. "The scale is mean." + +She runs away. Tom follows her. + +"Wait, Sue!" Tom says. "Don't be sad. The scale is not mean. It is just a toy. It does not matter how heavy you are. You are my friend." + +Sue stops. She looks at Tom. + +"Really?" Sue says. + +"Really," Tom says. "You are my friend. And you are very fast. You can run faster than me. That is cool." + +Sue smiles. She feels better. + +"Thank you, Tom," Sue says. "You are my friend too. And you are very strong. You can lift heavier things than me. That is cool too." + +Tom and Sue hug. They are happy. + +They go back to the garage. They see the scale. + +"Let's play a different game," Tom says. "Let's see how much our toys weigh." + +"OK!" Sue says. "That sounds fun." + +They put their toys on the scale. They laugh and learn. They do not suffer. They have fun. +Lily and Tom were eager to go to the farm with their mom and dad. They wanted to see the cows, the pigs, and the chickens. They also wanted to pick some corn from the field. + +"Can we go now, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, honey. We just have to pack some snacks and water," mom said. + +Tom ran to the car and opened the door. He saw a big basket of corn on the back seat. + +"Wow, look at all the corn!" he exclaimed. "Can I have one, dad?" + +"Not now, Tom. That corn is for later. We have to stay in the car until we get to the farm," dad said. + +But Tom did not listen. He was too eager to taste the corn. He grabbed one and peeled off the husk. He took a big bite and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is good!" he said. + +He did not see the angry bee that was hiding in the corn. The bee flew out and stung Tom on the cheek. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "It hurts, it hurts!" + +Mom and dad heard Tom's scream and ran to the car. They saw the bee and the corn and Tom's swollen face. + +"Oh no, Tom! You are allergic to bees! We have to go to the hospital right now!" mom said. + +She took Tom in her arms and got in the car. Dad threw the basket of corn away and drove as fast as he could. + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not get to go to the farm. She did not get to see the animals. She did not get to pick any corn. + +She wished Tom had stayed in the car and listened to dad. She wished the bee had stayed in the field and left them alone. She wished they had a good day instead of a bad one. +Lily and Ben were playing with crayons. They liked to draw many things with different colors. Lily drew a flower with red and yellow. Ben drew a car with blue and green. + +"Look at my flower, Ben. It is pretty," Lily said. + +"Look at my car, Lily. It is fast," Ben said. + +They were happy and proud of their drawings. They wanted to show them to their mom. + +But then they heard a loud bark. It was Spot, their dog. Spot was naughty. He liked to chew on things. He saw the crayons on the floor and thought they were toys. He ran to them and grabbed them with his mouth. + +"Spot, no! Drop the crayons!" Lily and Ben shouted. + +But Spot did not listen. He ran away with the crayons. He bit them and broke them. He made a big mess. + +Lily and Ben chased him. They tried to get the crayons back. But Spot was faster. He ran to the backyard and hid under the tree. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They lost their crayons. They could not draw anymore. They could not show their mom their drawings. + +They went to the backyard and looked for Spot. They found him under the tree. He was lying on the grass. He had crayon bits all over his fur. He had many colors on him. He looked funny. + +Lily and Ben laughed. They could not stay mad at Spot. He was their friend. He did not know he was naughty. He did not know he made them forget their drawings. + +They hugged him and petted him. They said sorry to him. They said they loved him. + +They went back to the house. They told their mom what happened. Their mom smiled. She said it was okay. She said she had more crayons for them. She said she liked their drawings. She said she liked Spot too. + +They were happy again. They thanked their mom. They took the new crayons. They went to draw more things with different colors. They did not forget to put the crayons away. They did not want Spot to be naughty again. +Lily and Tom were very excited to see the fireworks. They put on their warm coats and hats and went outside with their mom and dad. They walked to the park where many people were waiting for the show. + +"Look, mom, look, dad, the sky is dark and full of stars!" Lily said, pointing up. + +"Yes, dear, it is very beautiful. But soon you will see something even more amazing," mom said, smiling. + +"What is it, mom? What is it?" Tom asked, jumping up and down. + +"Fireworks, Tom, fireworks. They are bright and loud and colorful. They make shapes and patterns in the sky. They are like magic," dad said, holding Tom's hand. + +"Wow, I want to see them, I want to see them!" Tom said, clapping his hands. + +"Shh, Tom, don't disturb the other people. They want to see them too. We have to be quiet and wait for the signal," mom said, putting her finger on her lips. + +"OK, mom, I will be quiet. But I am very excited," Tom said, nodding his head. + +Soon, they heard a loud bang and saw a flash of light. Then, the sky was filled with fireworks. They were amazing. They were red and blue and green and yellow and purple and pink. They made circles and stars and hearts and flowers. They sparkled and crackled and popped. Lily and Tom gasped and cheered and clapped. They felt happy and amazed. They hugged their mom and dad and thanked them for taking them to see the fireworks. They had a wonderful night. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with their moms. The sun is warm and the grass is green. + +Lily sees a big slide. She wants to go on it. She tells Ben, "Come, let's play on the slide. It looks fun!" + +But Ben is scared. He does not like high things. He tells Lily, "No, I don't want to play on the slide. It looks scary!" + +Lily is sad. She wants to play with Ben. She tells him, "Please, Ben, don't be scared. I will go with you. We can hold hands." + +But Ben shakes his head. He tells Lily, "No, Lily, I can't. I want to play with something else. Let's play with the swings. They are not scary." + +Lily is mad. She thinks Ben is silly. She tells him, "Fine, Ben, you can play with the swings. But I will play on the slide. I don't need you." + +She runs to the slide and climbs up. She slides down fast and laughs. She feels happy. + +Ben watches Lily. He feels lonely. He wishes he was brave like Lily. He tells his mom, "Mom, I want to play on the slide too. Can you help me?" + +His mom smiles. She tells him, "Of course, Ben, I can help you. You can do it. I am proud of you." + +She takes his hand and walks to the slide. She helps him climb up. She tells him, "Look, Ben, you are on the slide. It is not so scary. Are you ready?" + +Ben nods. He holds his mom's hand. He slides down with her. He feels a little scared, but also a little fun. He tells his mom, "Mom, I did it! I played on the slide!" + +His mom hugs him. She tells him, "Yes, Ben, you did it! You played on the slide! You are brave and strong!" + +Lily sees Ben and his mom. She feels sorry. She runs to them. She tells Ben, "Ben, I am sorry. I was mean to you. You are not silly. You are my friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben smiles. He tells Lily, "Lily, I am sorry too. I was scared. You are not mad. You are my friend. Yes, I want to play with you." + +They hug. They tell each other, "We are friends. We like to play together." + +They play on the slide and the swings. They have fun. Their moms are happy.

He chases the mouse. He catches the mouse. He eats the mouse. + +Tom is happy. He says, "Thank you, cat! You are a good cat! You are a brave cat!" He tries to hug the cat. + +The cat does not like to hug. He squirms and scratches. He says, "Meow! Let me go! I do not want to hug!" + +Tom lets go of the cat. He says, "Sorry, cat. I know you do not like to hug. But can I rub your head? You have a soft head." + +The cat thinks for a moment. He says, "Meow. Okay. You can rub my head. But only for a little bit." + +Tom rubs the cat's head. The cat purrs. He says, "Meow. That feels good. You are a nice boy. You are a kind boy." + +Tom and the cat are friends. They are happy. The end. +Lily and Sam were twins who loved to decorate. They liked to draw, paint, cut and glue things to make them pretty. One day, they decided to decorate their room with pictures of their heroes. Lily liked princesses and Sam liked superheroes. + +They worked hard to make their pictures. Lily used pink and purple crayons and glitter. Sam used blue and red markers and stickers. They were happy with their work and wanted to show their mom. + +"Mom, look at our pictures!" they said, running to the kitchen. "We decorated our room with our heroes!" + +Mom smiled and followed them to their room. She saw the pictures on the wall and praised them. "Wow, you did a great job! Your pictures are very colorful and creative. Who are your heroes?" + +Lily pointed to her pictures. "This is Princess Anna. She is brave and kind. She helps her sister Elsa. This is Princess Moana. She is adventurous and smart. She saves her island. I want to be like them." + +Sam pointed to his pictures. "This is Spider-Man. He is strong and funny. He fights bad guys. This is Batman. He is clever and cool. He has a car and a cave. I want to be like them." + +Mom nodded and hugged them. "I'm proud of you for admiring your heroes. They are all good examples of being compassionate. Do you know what that means?" + +Lily and Sam shook their heads. Mom explained. "Being compassionate means caring about others and helping them when they are in trouble or need something. It means being nice and not hurting anyone. It means sharing and saying sorry. Can you be compassionate like your heroes?" + +Lily and Sam nodded. They thought of ways to be compassionate. They decided to share their toys, help their mom with chores, and be kind to their friends. They realized that being compassionate was not hard. It made them happy and made others happy too. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. "You are my heroes. You are compassionate and I love you." +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and bridges. They have fun. + +One day, they find a big box of new blocks. They are very happy. They want to use all the blocks. They start to build a very big tower. They lift the blocks and put them on top of each other. The tower is very tall and interesting. + +But then, Lila and Ben start to worry. The tower is too tall. It might fall down. It might hurt them or break the blocks. They are scared. They do not know what to do. + +They see Sam, another friend. Sam is good at building. He knows how to make things strong and safe. They ask Sam for help. Sam comes and looks at the tower. He says, "You did a good job, but the tower is not stable. You need to make a base. A base is a wide and flat part that holds the tower. Like this." He shows them how to use some blocks to make a base. He helps them to move some blocks from the top to the bottom. He says, "Now the tower is strong and safe. You can keep building, but not too high. And you can make other things with the blocks, too. Like a house or a bridge or a car. There are many interesting things you can make with blocks." + +Lila and Ben thank Sam. They are happy. They learn how to make a base. They learn how to make other things with blocks. They have more fun. They share the blocks with Sam and other friends. They are not worried anymore. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes, you need to ask for help when you are worried. You can learn new things from others. You can share and have fun with others. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They find a big bunch of celery in the fridge. They take it out and put it on the table. + +"Let's make a celery forest!" Tom says. He stands up a celery stick on the table. Lily does the same. They make many celery trees. + +"Look, we have a green forest!" Lily says. She pretends to be a bird and flies around the celery trees. She makes loud noises. "Tweet, tweet, tweet!" + +Tom pretends to be a lion and roars. He crawls under the table and jumps out at Lily. He makes louder noises. "Roar, roar, roar!" + +The twins are having fun. They are very noisy. Mom hears them from the living room. She comes to the kitchen and sees the mess. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom asks. She is not happy. She sees celery on the floor and on the chairs. + +"We are playing forest!" Tom says. + +"We are birds and lions!" Lily says. + +Mom shakes her head. She tells them to stop playing with the celery. She tells them to clean up the kitchen. She tells them to be quiet. + +The twins are sad. They say sorry to Mom. They pick up the celery and put it back in the fridge. They wipe the table and the floor. They sit on the couch and read a book. They are quiet. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to go to the library. They liked to look at books with pictures and stories. Sometimes they read them together, and sometimes they read them alone. + +One day, they saw a new book on the shelf. It had a big red dragon on the cover. Lily wanted to read it, but Ben wanted it too. They both reached for the book at the same time. + +"Let me have it!" Ben said. + +"No, I saw it first!" Lily said. + +They pulled the book from each other, but it was very strong. They could not make it move. They got angry and started to pinch each other. + +"Ow! Stop it!" Lily cried. + +"Ow! You stop it!" Ben cried. + +The librarian heard them and came over. She was not happy. She took the book from them and put it back on the shelf. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are not supposed to pinch or shout in the library. You are supposed to be quiet and respectful." + +Lily and Ben felt nervous. They knew they had done something bad. They looked at the floor and said nothing. + +The librarian sighed. She said, "You are both good children, but you need to learn to share and be kind. There are many books in the library, and you can take turns to read them. But you cannot hurt each other or make noise. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We are sorry, librarian. We will not do it again." + +The librarian smiled. She said, "That's good. Now, why don't you pick another book and read it together? Maybe you will find something you both like." + +Lily and Ben said, "Okay, librarian. Thank you." + +They went to another shelf and found a book with a funny monkey on the cover. They decided to read it together. They sat on a couch and opened the book. They laughed at the monkey's tricks and forgot about the dragon. They were happy and friendly again. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring, and pinching is not nice. +Tom and Lily are playing in the attic. They like to find old things and make up stories about them. They see a big box that is open. They hear a noise inside. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +"Let's look," Tom says. + +They go to the box and peek inside. They see a lot of dust and some old toys. They also see a small mouse that is hiding under a hat. + +"Hello, mouse," Tom says. + +The mouse squeaks and runs away. + +"Bye, mouse," Lily says. + +They laugh and take out some of the toys. They find a ball, a doll, a car and a book. They play with them and make up stories. They have fun in the attic. They do not mind the dust. They like the open box. They hope to see the mouse again. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. They have many blocks with numbers on them. Tom knows some numbers, like one, two, and three. Lily knows more numbers, like four, five, and six. + +One day, they are playing with blocks and making a big tower. Tom puts a block with one on top of a block with two. Lily puts a block with three on top of Tom's block. Then she puts a block with four on top of her block. Tom wants to put a block with five on top of Lily's block, but he can't find one. He looks around and sees that Lily has all the blocks with five and six in her pile. + +"Hey, Lily, give me a block with five!" Tom says. + +"No, Tom, these are my blocks!" Lily says. + +"Please, Lily, I need a block with five!" Tom says. + +"No, Tom, you have enough blocks!" Lily says. + +Tom gets angry and yells at Lily. "Lily, you are not a good friend! You are not dependable! You are not sharing!" + +Lily gets angry and yells back at Tom. "Tom, you are not a good friend! You are not dependable! You are not polite!" + +They yell and yell and knock down their tower. The blocks with numbers fall everywhere. Tom and Lily are sad and mad. They don't want to play with each other anymore. + +Then they hear a voice. It is their teacher, Miss Rose. She comes over and sees the mess. She sees Tom and Lily with tears in their eyes. + +"What happened here, Tom and Lily?" Miss Rose asks. + +Tom and Lily tell Miss Rose what happened. They tell her how they wanted to make a big tower with blocks and numbers, but they couldn't agree on who gets what block. They tell her how they yelled at each other and called each other not dependable. + +Miss Rose listens and nods. She says, "Tom and Lily, I understand that you both like to play with blocks and numbers, but you also need to learn how to share and cooperate. You can't have all the blocks you want, and you can't yell at your friend when you don't get what you want. That is not how dependable friends act. Dependable friends are kind and respectful. They take turns and help each other. They say sorry when they make a mistake. They say thank you when they get something. They say please when they ask for something. They say nice things when they talk to each other. Do you want to be dependable friends?" + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They feel sorry for what they did. They nod and say, "Yes, Miss Rose, we want to be dependable friends." + +Miss Rose smiles and says, "That's good, Tom and Lily. Now, why don't you pick up the blocks and numbers and start over? You can make a new tower together, and you can teach each other the numbers you know. I'm sure you can have fun and learn a lot from each other. And remember, if you have a problem, you can always talk to me or to each other. Don't yell, use your words." + +Tom and Lily say, "Okay, Miss Rose, thank you." They hug each other and say sorry. They pick up the blocks and numbers and start to make a new tower. They take turns and help each other. They say please and thank you. They say nice things when they talk to each other. They learn new numbers from each other. They have fun and make a big tower. They are happy and proud. They are dependable friends. +Anna loved her dog, Spot. Spot had soft fur and big eyes. He was loyal to Anna and always followed her. He liked to play fetch and cuddle with her. + +One day, Anna saw a boy with a cat. The cat had long fur and green eyes. The boy said, "This is Fluffy. She is my best friend. She likes to chase mice and sleep on my bed." + +Anna said, "She is pretty. Can I pet her?" The boy nodded and let Anna touch the cat. Fluffy purred and rubbed her head on Anna's hand. + +Anna said, "Do you want to play with me and Spot?" The boy said, "Sure. Where is Spot?" Anna pointed to her dog, who was waiting for her. The boy said, "He is handsome. Can I pet him?" Anna nodded and let the boy touch the dog. Spot wagged his tail and licked the boy's face. + +Anna and the boy played with their pets for a long time. They had fun and laughed a lot. They became friends and decided to share their toys and snacks. + +Anna said, "You are nice. I like you. Do you want to marry me?" The boy said, "You are nice too. I like you. Yes, I want to marry you." + +They hugged and kissed and put their pets in a basket. They said, "We are married now. We have a family. We are happy." + +The moral of the story is: You can find love and friendship in different ways. You should be kind and respectful to others and their pets. You should be loyal and faithful to your partner and your family. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with numbers. Every morning, they would count their toys, their fingers, their toes, and anything else they could find. They had a big book of numbers that their mom gave them, and they learned how to write and read them. + +One day, they decided to play a game with their numbers. They took turns asking each other questions, and the other had to answer with a number. For example, Ben asked Lily, "How many apples are in the basket?" and Lily said, "Four." Then Lily asked Ben, "How many stars are in the sky?" and Ben said, "A lot." + +They had fun with their game, until Ben asked Lily a hard question. He said, "How many hairs are on your head?" Lily thought for a long time, but she did not know. She tried to count them, but they were too many and too small. She felt sad and said, "I don't know." + +Ben laughed and said, "You don't know? You are silly. I know how many hairs are on my head. It is easy. It is ten." He showed Lily his head, and Lily saw that he had very few hairs. He had cut them off with scissors, because he wanted to win the game. + +Lily was shocked and angry. She said, "You are not smart. You are naughty. You hurt your head. Mom will be mad at you. You are not healthy." She ran away from Ben and told their mom what he did. + +Mom was very upset and scolded Ben. She said, "You are not supposed to cut your hair. It is dangerous and foolish. You could have hurt yourself. You need your hair to keep your head warm and protect your skin. You are not healthy. You are in trouble." She took Ben to the doctor, who gave him a bandage and a medicine. Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He wished he had not cut his hair. He wished he had not played the game. He wished he had been nice to Lily. He learned his lesson, but it was too late. He had a bad ending. +One day, Tom and Lily wanted to play pirates. They put on hats and scarves and found a big box. They said the box was their ship and they sailed on the sea. They pretended to look for treasure and fight other pirates. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Tom said. "Do you see any gold?" + +"Arrr, not yet," Lily said. "But I see a big island. Maybe there is treasure there." + +They jumped out of the box and ran to the island. It was really a pile of pillows and blankets. They dug and dug and found a shiny necklace. + +"Wow, we are rich!" Tom said. "This is the best treasure ever!" + +They put the necklace around Lily's neck and danced and sang. They were very happy. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She came into the room and saw the mess. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "It's time for bed. You have to sleep now." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not want to sleep. They wanted to play more. + +"But mom, we are pirates," Tom said. "Pirates don't sleep. They have adventures." + +Mom smiled. She knew they had fun. But she also knew they were tired. + +"Pirates do sleep, sometimes," she said. "They need to rest and dream. And you are very brave pirates. You can sleep anywhere, even on a ship." + +She helped them make a tent with the blankets and pillows. She gave them each a hug and a kiss. + +"Good night, my brave pirates," she said. "I love you." + +Tom and Lily crawled into the tent. They snuggled with each other and closed their eyes. They felt cozy and safe. They still had the necklace. + +They smiled and whispered, "Good night, matey." + +They fell asleep and dreamed of more pirate adventures. +Tom and Mia liked to play near the creek. The creek had many rocks and fish and frogs. Sometimes they saw a big deer or a small rabbit. They had fun throwing stones and making splashes. + +One day, they saw a new thing in the creek. It was shiny and round and had a hole in the middle. Tom said, "What is that?" Mia said, "I don't know. Let's go see." They ran to the creek and picked up the thing. It was heavy and cold. + +Mia said, "It looks like a ring. Maybe it is magic." Tom said, "Maybe it is. Let's try it on." He put the ring on his finger. It was too big. He said, "It doesn't fit me. You try it." He gave the ring to Mia. She put it on her finger. It was too small. She said, "It doesn't fit me either. It hurts." She tried to take it off, but it was stuck. + +Tom said, "Oh no. How can we get it off?" Mia said, "I don't know. It is too tight." They pulled and twisted, but the ring did not move. They started to cry. + +Then they heard a voice. It was old and deep and came from the distant trees. It said, "Who has my ring?" They looked up and saw a big man. He had a long beard and a hat and a coat. He looked angry. He said, "Give me back my ring. It is mine." He walked towards them. + +Tom and Mia were scared. They did not know what to do. They did not want to give the ring, but they did not want to keep it either. They said, "We are sorry. We found it in the creek. We did not know it was yours. Please help us. We can't take it off." + +The man stopped and looked at them. He said, "You found it in the creek? How did it get there?" He thought for a moment. He said, "Ah, I remember. I threw it there a long time ago. I was angry with my wife. She did not accept my love. She left me for another man. I did not want the ring anymore. It reminded me of her." + +He sighed and said, "But that was foolish of me. The ring was a gift from my father. It was very precious. It had a spell on it. It would only fit the one who loved me truly. I should have kept it. Maybe I would have found someone else." + +He looked at Tom and Mia. He said, "You are just children. You did not mean any harm. You were curious. I forgive you. I will help you get the ring off. But you must promise me something. You must never play with things that are not yours. You never know what they might do. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Mia nodded. They said, "We understand. We promise. Thank you." The man smiled. He took out a knife and cut the ring off Mia's finger. It did not hurt. He put the ring on his own finger. It fit perfectly. He said, "Good. Now go home and be careful. And remember, love is the most powerful magic of all." He waved and walked away. + +Tom and Mia ran back to their house. They hugged their parents and told them what happened. Their parents were surprised and glad. They said, "You are very lucky. That man was kind. He could have been angry or mean. You must be more careful next time. And you must always accept the love of your family and friends. It is the most precious thing of all." Tom and Mia agreed. They learned their lesson. They never played with the ring again. +Lily loved rockets. She had a toy rocket that she played with every day. She dreamed of flying to the moon and seeing the stars. She wanted to be an astronaut when she grew up. + +One day, her dad told her they were going to see a real rocket. He said it was very big and very loud and very fast. He said it was going to take some people to space. Lily was very excited. She wanted to see the rocket and the people. + +They went to a big field where there were many other people. They all looked at the sky and waited for the rocket. Lily held her dad's hand. She was a little scared. She asked her dad if the rocket was safe. He said yes, it was. He said the people who made the rocket and the people who flew the rocket were very smart and very brave. He said they had to trust them. Lily nodded. She trusted her dad and he trusted the rocket people. + +Then, they heard a loud noise. They saw a bright light. The rocket was moving. It was going up and up and up. It was incredible. Lily gasped. She saw the rocket leave a trail of smoke and fire behind it. She saw it get smaller and smaller until it was a tiny dot in the sky. She clapped her hands. She cheered. She smiled. She felt happy. + +She looked at her dad. He looked at her. They hugged. They had seen something amazing. They had seen a rocket. Lily said thank you to her dad. He said you're welcome. He said he loved her. She said she loved him too. She said she still wanted to be an astronaut. He said he believed in her. He said she could be anything she wanted to be. He said she was incredible. She said he was too. They laughed. They were happy. They had seen a rocket. +Sara was a princess who lived in a big castle. She had many toys and dresses and books, but she was not happy. She wanted to have friends to play with and talk to, but she always ignored the other children in the castle. She thought they were boring and silly, and she only wanted to do what she liked. + +One day, a new girl came to the castle. Her name was Lila, and she was the daughter of a cook. She was very kind and friendly, and she wanted to be Sara's friend. She tried to talk to Sara and invite her to play, but Sara ignored her. She said, "You are not a princess. You are not brilliant like me. Go away and leave me alone." + +Lila felt sad, but she did not give up. She kept trying to be nice to Sara and show her how to have fun. She showed her how to make cookies and draw pictures and sing songs. She shared her toys and books and dresses with Sara, and she always smiled and said thank you. She hoped that Sara would see how good she was and want to be her friend. + +But Sara did not see. She still ignored Lila and acted mean to her. She took her things and broke them or threw them away. She laughed at her and called her names. She said, "You are not a princess. You are not brilliant like me. You are nothing." + +One day, Sara got very sick. She had a fever and a cough and a sore throat. She had to stay in bed and could not play or read or dress up. She felt lonely and miserable, and she wished she had a friend to keep her company. She looked around her room and saw all her toys and dresses and books, but they did not make her happy. She wanted someone to talk to and hug and make her feel better. + +She thought of Lila, and how she was always kind and friendly and fun. She wondered if Lila would come to see her and help her. She wanted to say sorry to Lila and ask her to be her friend. She realized that Lila was a princess in her heart, and she was brilliant in her own way. She realized that she had been wrong to ignore her and treat her badly. + +She called for Lila, but Lila did not come. She asked the cook, and he said, "Lila is gone. She left the castle with her father. They went to another place, where they can be happy and have friends. They said goodbye to everyone, except you. You ignored them, so they ignored you." + +Sara felt a pang of regret and sadness. She had lost her chance to have a friend, and she had hurt someone who only wanted to be good to her. She learned a hard lesson: that ignoring people is not nice, and that being brilliant is not enough. She wished she could see Lila again and tell her how sorry she was and how much she missed her. But it was too late. Lila was gone, and Sara was alone. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a sign. The sign says "News". Lily and Ben are curious. They run to the truck. + +"Hello, what are you doing?" Lily asks the man in the truck. + +"I am a news man. I tell people what is happening in the world," the man says. + +"Wow, that is cool. Can we see?" Ben says. + +"Sure, come inside. I have a TV and a camera and a microphone," the man says. He lets Lily and Ben enter the truck. + +Lily and Ben see many things. They see a map, a clock, a computer, and a phone. They also see a TV. The TV shows a picture of a bear. The bear is in a zoo. The bear looks sad. + +"Why is the bear sad?" Lily asks. + +"The bear is sad because he is lonely. He has no friends. He wants to play with other bears," the man says. + +"That is sad. I wish we could help him," Ben says. + +"Maybe we can. I have an idea. Do you want to be on TV?" the man says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They are excited. They want to be on TV. + +"OK, follow me. I will give you a microphone. You can talk to the people who are watching. You can tell them about the bear. Maybe someone will help him," the man says. + +He leads Lily and Ben to a corner of the truck. He gives them a microphone. He turns on the camera. He says, "We are live in three, two, one." + +Lily and Ben see themselves on the TV. They smile. They wave. They say, "Hello, we are Lily and Ben. We are in the news truck. We want to tell you about the bear. The bear is sad. He is lonely. He needs a friend. Can you help him? Can you find him a friend? Please, please, please." + +Lily and Ben hope that someone will hear them. They hope that someone will help the bear. They think that the bear will be happy if he has a friend. They think that being on TV is fun. They do not know that someone is watching them. Someone who is not nice. Someone who likes to tease. + +Tommy is in his house. He is bored. He turns on the TV. He sees Lily and Ben. He knows them. They are in his class. He does not like them. He thinks they are silly. He thinks they are babyish. He decides to tease them. + +He picks up his phone. He calls the number on the sign. He pretends to be a zookeeper. He says, "Hello, this is the zoo. I saw your news. I have good news for you. I have a friend for the bear. He is a lion. He is very friendly. He likes to play. Can I bring him to the zoo?" + +The man in the truck hears Tommy. He thinks he is telling the truth. He says, "Wow, that is great news. Thank you for calling. Yes, please bring the lion to the zoo. The bear will be very happy." + +He tells Lily and Ben. He says, "Guess what? Someone called. They have a friend for the bear. He is a lion. He is very friendly. He likes to play. He is coming to the zoo. Isn't that wonderful?" + +Lily and Ben are confused. They do not think that a lion is a good friend for a bear. They think that a lion is scary. They think that a lion might hurt the bear. They say, "A lion? Are you sure? Is that a good idea?" + +The man in the truck says, "Yes, I am sure. It is a good idea. The lion is mild. He will not hurt the bear. He will make the bear happy. Trust me." + +Lily and Ben are not sure. They are worried. They hope that the man is right. They hope that the lion is mild. They hope that the bear will be happy. They do not know that Tommy is laughing. He is laughing at them. He is laughing at his joke. He is laughing at his tease. He is not nice. He is mean. +Anna loved to look at her grandma's old stamps. She had a big book with many stamps from different places and times. Some stamps had animals, some had flowers, some had people. Anna liked to ask her grandma about the stamps and learn new things. + +One day, Anna saw a stamp that she recognized. It had a picture of a princess with a crown and a long dress. Anna knew the princess from a story that her grandma told her. The princess was kind and brave and helped many people. + +"Grandma, look!" Anna said, pointing at the stamp. "It's the princess from the story! Do you remember her name?" + +Grandma smiled and hugged Anna. "Yes, I do, my dear. Her name was Diana. She was a real princess who lived a long time ago. She was very loved by many people. Do you know why?" + +Anna shook her head. She wanted to know more about the princess. + +Grandma explained, "She was very gentle and caring. She helped people who were sick or poor or sad. She traveled to many places and made friends with everyone. She also loved children very much, like you." + +Anna felt happy and curious. She asked, "Can I touch the stamp, grandma? It looks very pretty." + +Grandma nodded, but warned, "Be careful, Anna. The stamp is very old and delicate. It can tear or fade easily. You have to hold it gently, like a butterfly." + +Anna nodded and reached for the stamp. She held it between her fingers and looked at it closely. She saw the princess's smile and eyes. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She said, "Thank you, grandma, for showing me the stamp. I like the princess very much. She is like you." +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys. Tom had a huge bear. His name was Bobo. Lily had a small doll. Her name was Anna. + +One day, Tom and Lily had a fight. Tom said, "My bear is better than your doll. He is huge and soft and can hug me. Your doll is tiny and hard and can only sit there." + +Lily said, "No, my doll is better than your bear. She is pretty and has a dress and can talk to me. Your bear is big and hairy and can only growl." + +Tom and Lily got angry. They pulled each other's toys. They did not value their friendship. + +Then, Bobo and Anna fell on the floor. They got dirty and torn. Tom and Lily felt sad. They looked at their toys. They looked at each other. + +They said, "I'm sorry. I was mean. Your toy is nice. Your toy has a name. Your toy is special to you. Just like my toy is special to me." + +They hugged each other. They hugged their toys. They cleaned them and fixed them. They played together again. They valued their friendship. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud knock on the door. "Who is it?" Lily asked. + +"It's me, the mailman. I have a big box for you. Can you open the door?" the mailman said. + +Lily and Tom ran to the door and opened it. They saw a big box with their names on it. "Wow, what is it?" Tom said. + +"It's a surprise from your grandma. She sent it for your birthday. Do you want to open it?" the mailman said. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Tom said. They thanked the mailman and took the box inside. They tried to open it, but it was hard. The tape was sticky and the cardboard was thick. + +"Let's get some scissors," Lily said. + +"No, let's use our teeth," Tom said. + +They both tried to open the box with their teeth, but they only made small holes. They got frustrated and started to cry. + +"Hey, what's going on here?" their mom said. She came into the living room and saw the box and the tears. "Oh, you got a package from grandma. Do you need some help to open it?" + +"Yes, please, mom. It's hard to open," Lily said. + +"OK, let me get some scissors. I'll be right back," their mom said. + +She went to the kitchen and got some scissors. She came back and cut the tape and the cardboard. She opened the box and lifted the lid. + +"Look, look, what's inside!" she said. + +Lily and Tom looked inside and saw two big stuffed animals. One was a pink bunny and the other was a blue bear. They had ribbons around their necks and tags that said "Happy birthday, Lily and Tom. Love, grandma." + +Lily and Tom were so happy. They hugged their mom and their stuffed animals. They thanked their grandma and the mailman. They forgot about their tears and their teeth. They played with their new toys and had a lot of fun. +Anna likes to draw with her crayons. She makes pictures of her family, her dog, and her toys. She wants to show her pictures to her grandma, who lives far away. She asks her mom, "Can we send my pictures to grandma?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, we can. We can use the computer to make prints of your pictures. Then we can put them in an envelope and mail them to grandma. She will be very happy to see your pictures." + +Anna is excited. She helps mom scan her pictures on the computer. Mom shows her how to press a button and make prints come out of a machine. Anna thinks the machine is magic. She says, "Wow, look! It's my picture!" + +Mom says, "Yes, it is. You are a very good artist. Do you want to write something on the back of your prints?" + +Anna nods. She takes a pencil and writes, "I love you, grandma. From Anna." She does not know how to spell very well, but she tries her best. Mom helps her fix some letters. + +Mom says, "That's very sweet, Anna. Now let's put your prints in an envelope and write grandma's address. Then we can go to the post office and mail them." + +Anna is happy. She puts on her coat and hat. She hugs her prints and says, "Bye bye, pictures. Have a nice trip to grandma. I hope she likes you." + +Mom says, "She will love them, Anna. And she will love you more. You are a very thoughtful granddaughter." + +They go to the car and drive to the post office. Anna holds the envelope in her lap. She feels comfortable and proud. She can't wait to hear from grandma. She hopes grandma will send her a letter or a print too. She loves grandma very much. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big object on the grass. It is round and shiny and has many colors. They think it is interesting. + +"Wow, what is that?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Ben says. + +They run to the object and touch it. It feels smooth and cold. They try to lift it, but it is too heavy. + +"Help me, Anna. It is stuck," Ben says. + +"I am helping, Ben. But it is too hard," Anna says. + +They pull and push, but the object does not move. They are tired and frustrated. + +"Maybe we need more help," Anna says. + +"Who can help us?" Ben asks. + +They look around and see a man walking his dog. He is wearing a hat and a badge. He looks friendly. + +"Excuse me, sir. Can you help us?" Anna calls. + +The man and his dog come closer. He sees the object and smiles. + +"Hello, kids. What are you doing?" he asks. + +"We are trying to move this object. It is interesting, but it is stuck. Can you help us?" Ben says. + +"Sure, I can help you. But do you know what this object is?" the man asks. + +"No, we don't. What is it?" Anna asks. + +The man laughs and says, "This object is a balloon. A big balloon. Someone must have left it here. It is filled with air, that's why it is round and shiny and heavy. If you want to move it, you have to let some air out." + +He shows them a small hole on the object. He presses it and the air comes out. The object becomes smaller and lighter. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Anna and Ben say. + +"Now you can move it. Do you want to keep it or give it to me?" the man asks. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They like the object, but they also like the man and his dog. They decide to share. + +"Can we keep half and give you half?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, that's very nice of you. Here, I have a knife. I can cut it in two pieces," the man says. + +He cuts the object in two. He gives one piece to Anna and Ben, and keeps the other piece for himself and his dog. + +"Thank you, sir. You are very kind," Anna and Ben say. + +"You're welcome, kids. You are very smart and polite. Have fun with your balloon," the man says. + +He waves goodbye and walks away with his dog. Anna and Ben wave back and play with their balloon. They are happy and proud. They have learned something new and made a new friend. They think the object is still interesting, even if it is smaller. +Lily was very happy. She had a new book of fairy tales. She liked to look at the pictures and listen to Mom read the stories. She saw princesses, dragons, witches, and fairies. She wanted to meet a fairy. + +One day, she went to the park with Mom. She saw a big tree with many flowers. She ran to the tree and smelled the flowers. She heard a tiny voice. + +"Hello, little girl. Do you like my flowers?" + +Lily looked around. She saw a small, shiny thing with wings. It was a fairy! + +"Hi, fairy. You are very pretty. I like your flowers. They are nice." + +"Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. I like you. Do you know who I am?" + +Lily nodded. She recognized the fairy from her book. It was the fairy godmother. + +"You are the fairy godmother. You do magic. You help people." + +"That's right, little girl. I do magic. And I want to help you. Do you have a wish?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She had many wishes. She wished for a pony, a castle, a crown, and a dress. But she also wished for something else. + +"I wish for a friend. A friend like you." + +The fairy godmother smiled. She touched Lily's head with her wand. + +"Your wish is granted, little girl. You have a friend. A friend like me." + +Lily felt a tickle on her back. She looked behind her. She saw two small, shiny wings. She was a fairy too! + +She was very happy. She hugged the fairy godmother. + +"Thank you, fairy godmother. You are the best. You made me a fairy. Now we can play together." + +"You're welcome, little girl. You are the best too. You made me happy. Now we can play together." + +They flew around the tree, laughing and singing. They were friends. They had magic. They were nice. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They had a big tray full of water and sand, and they pretended it was a lake and a beach. They made vroom-vroom noises as they drove their cars around the tray. + +"Look, Sara, I can make my car jump over the water!" Ben said, and he pushed his car hard on the sand. The car flew in the air and landed with a splash in the water. Some of the water splashed on Sara's face. + +"Hey, that's not fair, Ben! You soaked me!" Sara said, and she wiped her face with her sleeve. She was not happy with Ben. + +"Sorry, Sara, I didn't mean to. It was just a game," Ben said, and he smiled. He thought it was funny. + +"Well, I don't like this game. I want to play something else," Sara said, and she picked up her car from the tray. She looked around the garden and saw a big bucket full of water. She had an idea. + +"OK, Ben, let's play a new game. It's called bucket splash. You have to try to splash me with the bucket, and I have to try to dodge it. Do you want to play?" Sara said, and she walked towards the bucket. + +"Sure, Sara, that sounds fun. But I get to go first, since you have the car," Ben said, and he followed Sara. He didn't know what Sara was planning. + +Sara reached the bucket and lifted it with both hands. It was heavy, but she was strong. She turned around and saw Ben standing a few steps away. He was ready to play. + +"OK, Ben, here I go. One, two, three!" Sara said, and she threw the bucket at Ben. The water came out of the bucket like a big wave and soaked Ben from head to toe. He gasped and shivered. + +"Wow, Sara, that was a big splash! You got me good!" Ben said, and he laughed. He was wet, but he didn't mind. + +"Ha ha, I got you, Ben! That was fair, right?" Sara said, and she laughed too. She was happy with Sara. + +"Yes, Sara, that was fair. You're a good player. Can I have a turn now?" Ben said, and he picked up the bucket. He filled it with water from the tray. + +"Sure, Ben, you can have a turn. But be careful, I'm fast!" Sara said, and she ran away from Ben. She was ready to play. + +They played bucket splash for a long time, and they had a lot of fun. They soaked each other and laughed and ran. They didn't mind getting wet, because it was a sunny day. They were good friends. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has many toys, but his favorite is his cell. His cell is a toy phone that can ring and make sounds. He likes to pretend he is talking to his friends and family. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom and his cell. He sees other kids playing with different toys. He sees a girl with a doll, a boy with a ball, and a baby with a rattle. He thinks they are boring. He thinks his cell is the best toy ever. + +He runs to the girl and says, "My cell is better than your doll. My cell can ring and make sounds. Your doll can only sit and smile." He runs to the boy and says, "My cell is better than your ball. My cell can ring and make sounds. Your ball can only bounce and roll." He runs to the baby and says, "My cell is better than your rattle. My cell can ring and make sounds. Your rattle can only shake and jingle." + +The other kids are sad and angry. They do not like Tom. They do not want to play with him. They say, "You are mean and rude. You do not share and care. You only brag and boast. Go away and leave us alone." + +Tom is confused and lonely. He does not understand why the other kids do not like him. He thinks his cell is the best toy ever. He hugs his cell and says, "You are my only friend. You can ring and make sounds. You are fun and cool." + +But then, his cell stops working. It does not ring and make sounds. It is quiet and still. Tom tries to fix it, but he cannot. He is sad and scared. He says, "What is wrong with you? Why are you not working? Please ring and make sounds. Please be fun and cool." + +He looks around and sees the other kids playing with their toys. He sees the girl with her doll, the boy with his ball, and the baby with his rattle. He sees them smiling and laughing. He sees them sharing and caring. He sees them having fun and being cool. + +He realizes that he was wrong. He realizes that his cell is not the best toy ever. He realizes that different toys are good for different kids. He realizes that playing with others is better than playing alone. + +He runs to the other kids and says, "I am sorry for being mean and rude. I am sorry for not sharing and caring. I am sorry for only bragging and boasting. Can I play with you and your toys?" + +The other kids are surprised and happy. They say, "Yes, you can play with us and our toys. We forgive you for being mean and rude. We are glad you are sharing and caring. We are happy you are not bragging and boasting. Come and join us and have fun and be cool." + +Tom is happy and grateful. He plays with the girl and her doll, the boy and his ball, and the baby and his rattle. He learns to appreciate different toys and different kids. He learns to be kind and polite. He learns to be a good friend. + +He still likes his cell, but he does not need it to ring and make sounds. He does not need it to be fun and cool. He has other toys and other friends. He has a lot of fun and a lot of cool. He has a good day and a good lesson. +Tim and Kim are twins who live on a farm. They like to play with the animals, but they have to be careful not to spoil them. One day, they see a big cow in the barn. The cow has a bell around her neck and a bucket of milk next to her. + +"Can we pet the cow?" Tim asks Kim. + +"Maybe, but we have to ask Dad first," Kim says. + +They run to find their dad, who is working in the field. They tell him about the cow and ask if they can pet her. + +"Sure, you can pet the cow, but be gentle and don't pull her tail or her ears," Dad says. "And don't drink her milk, it's for the baby calves." + +Tim and Kim nod and run back to the barn. They approach the cow slowly and softly stroke her fur. The cow moos and licks their faces. They giggle and hug the cow. + +"She's so soft and warm," Tim says. + +"She's so nice and friendly," Kim says. + +They see the bucket of milk and feel curious. They wonder how it tastes. + +"Can we try some milk?" Tim asks Kim. + +"Dad said no, it's for the baby calves," Kim says. + +"But just a little bit won't hurt," Tim says. + +He dips his finger in the milk and puts it in his mouth. He makes a face and spits it out. + +"Yuck, it's hard and sour," he says. + +Kim laughs and says, "That's because the milk is spoiled. It's been sitting in the sun too long. We should have listened to Dad." + +They decide to leave the milk alone and play with the cow some more. They learn that the cow's name is Daisy and that she likes to eat grass and hay. They have fun with Daisy and thank her for letting them pet her. They say goodbye to the cow and go back to their dad. They tell him about their adventure and promise not to spoil the milk or the cow again. Dad smiles and hugs them. He says he's proud of them for being good and brave. He says he loves them and the cow. They say they love him and the cow too. They go home happy and tired. They dream of Daisy and her bell. +Tim and Kim are twins who like to play outside. One day, they find a big glove in the grass. It is dark and soft and has five fingers. They think it is a toy and start to pull and tug on it. + +But the glove is not a toy. It belongs to a big dog who is sleeping nearby. The dog hears the twins playing with his glove and wakes up. He is angry and runs towards them, barking loudly. + +Tim and Kim are scared and drop the glove. They run back to their house and slam the door. The dog picks up his glove and goes back to his spot. He is happy and falls asleep again. + +Tim and Kim learn a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should be careful and respectful of other animals. They say sorry to the dog and promise to never touch his glove again. The dog forgives them and wags his tail. They become friends and play together nicely. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big lake. They want to swim in the lake. + +"Come on, Ben, hurry!" Anna says. "The lake is cool and fun!" + +Ben runs after Anna. He likes the lake too. But he sees something on the ground. It is a red pepper. Ben is curious. He picks up the pepper and bites it. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. "This is spicy! It hurts my mouth!" + +Anna hears Ben. She turns around and sees him. He is holding the pepper and making a funny face. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" Anna asks. "That is not a toy. That is food. And it is spicy food. You should not eat it!" + +Ben spits out the pepper. He wants some water. He runs to the lake and drinks some water. The water helps his mouth feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I did not know it was spicy. I just wanted to try it." + +Anna smiles. She is not angry. She is a good friend. + +"It's okay, Ben," Anna says. "But next time, be careful. Some things are not good to eat. Come on, let's swim in the lake. The lake is not spicy. The lake is nice." +Anna was sick. She had a big cough and a hot head. She did not want to play or eat. She only wanted to lie in her bed and hug her teddy bear. + +Mama was worried. She called the nurse. The nurse came to Anna's house with a big sack. The sack had many things inside. The nurse took out a thing that looked like a spoon and put it in Anna's mouth. She said, "This is a thermometer. It tells me how hot you are." + +Anna opened her mouth and let the nurse see the thermometer. The nurse looked at it and said, "You have a fever. You need some medicine." She took out a bottle and a cup from her sack. She poured some medicine into the cup and gave it to Anna. She said, "This will make you feel better. Drink it all up." + +Anna did not like the medicine. It was bitter and yucky. She made a face and said, "Blech! I don't want it!" She pushed the cup away. + +The nurse smiled and said, "I know it's not tasty, but it will help you. How about this? If you drink the medicine, I will show you something amazing from my sack. Something that will make you happy." + +Anna was curious. She wanted to see what the nurse had. She said, "Okay. I will drink it. But only a little bit." + +The nurse said, "No, you have to drink it all. It's not much. Come on, you can do it." She held the cup to Anna's lips and helped her sip the medicine. Anna made a face again, but she drank it all. + +The nurse said, "Good girl! You are very brave. Now, are you ready to see what I have for you?" She reached into her sack and pulled out something soft and fluffy. It was a bunny. A white bunny with pink ears and a pink nose. It had a bow around its neck. The nurse said, "This is for you. A special gift. You can keep it and cuddle it. It will be your friend." + +Anna's eyes lit up. She loved the bunny. She reached out and took it from the nurse. She hugged it and said, "Thank you! Thank you! It's so cute! I love it!" + +The nurse said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. I hope you get well soon. I have to go now, but I will come back tomorrow to check on you. Be good and rest well." + +Anna said, "Bye bye, nurse. You are very nice. And you have an amazing sack." She smiled and waved as the nurse left. She snuggled with her bunny and her teddy bear and felt a little better. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Sara and Ben like to play with bubbles. They have a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand. They blow bubbles in the park and watch them fly in the air. Sometimes they try to catch them or pop them. + +One day, they see a very big bubble in the sky. It is bigger than a ball or a balloon. It is shiny and colorful. They wonder what is inside the bubble. + +"Wow, look at that bubble!" Sara says. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Maybe there is something in it," Ben says. "Do you want to guess what it is?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She is nervous. She does not know what to say. She looks at the bubble and tries to imagine what it could be. + +"Maybe it is a bird," she says. "A big, fluffy bird that likes bubbles." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not think it is a bird. He has another idea. + +"Maybe it is a star," he says. "A bright, sparkly star that fell from the sky." + +Sara smiles. She likes Ben's idea. She thinks it is very nice. + +"Maybe you are right," she says. "Maybe it is a star." + +They keep looking at the bubble. They hope it will come closer. They want to see the star. They are curious and excited. They do not know that the bubble is really a balloon. A balloon that someone let go by mistake. A balloon that will soon pop and disappear. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big glass house with many flowers and animals inside. They wanted to go and look at them. + +"Wow, look at the glass house!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and shiny. Can we go inside?" + +Tom nodded. He liked the glass house too. He wanted to see the flowers and animals. They ran to the door and opened it. + +Inside, they saw many things to admire. There were roses and tulips and sunflowers. There were birds and butterflies and rabbits. There were also some things that looked like animals, but they were not real. They were fake. + +"Look, Lily, a lion!" Tom said, pointing to a big fake lion made of glass. "It is so big and scary. Do you think it can roar?" + +Lily shook her head. She was not afraid of the fake lion. She knew it was not real. She saw something else that caught her eye. It was a fake unicorn made of glass. It had a horn and a mane and a tail. It was so beautiful and magical. + +"Look, Tom, a unicorn!" Lily said, running to the fake unicorn. "It is so pretty and sparkly. Do you think it can fly?" + +Tom shrugged. He was not interested in the fake unicorn. He knew it was not real. He saw something else that made him curious. It was a fake dragon made of glass. It had wings and claws and a fire. It was so cool and fierce. + +"Look, Lily, a dragon!" Tom said, going to the fake dragon. "It is so awesome and fiery. Do you think it can breathe fire?" + +Lily and Tom admired the fake animals made of glass. They liked different things, but they both had fun. They played and pretended and laughed. They did not notice that the door of the glass house closed behind them. They did not see the sign that said: "Do not touch. Fragile." +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mill near the river. It had a wheel that turned the water and made noise. They wanted to see it closer, so they ran to the mill. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "It is so big and fast!" + +"Can we go inside?" Sam asked. "Maybe there are more things to see." + +Tom nodded. He saw a door that was open. He pulled Sam by the hand and they went inside. It was dark and cold. They heard more noises and saw machines and pipes. + +"Be careful," Tom said. "This place is scary." + +They walked around and looked at the machines. They did not know what they did, but they were curious. They saw buttons and levers and wheels. Sam wanted to touch them, but Tom stopped him. + +"No, don't touch!" Tom said. "We don't know what they do. They might be dangerous." + +But Sam did not listen. He saw a big red button that said "Freeze". He thought it was a game. He pushed the button and laughed. + +"Ha ha, I froze the mill!" he said. + +But then, something bad happened. The machines stopped working and the pipes started to leak. The water turned to ice and the air became very cold. Tom and Sam felt the cold in their bodies. They tried to run, but they were too slow. The ice covered them and they could not move or talk. They were frozen in the mill. + +No one knew they were there. No one came to help them. They stayed frozen in the mill forever. They were not healthy or happy. They were very sad. The end. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the yard. They had a big ball and a small bike. They also had a fence around the yard. The fence was old and had holes. + +One day, Tom and Sam saw a dog on the other side of the fence. The dog was big and black. It had sharp teeth and loud bark. Tom and Sam were scared of the dog. They ran to the house and told their mom. + +"Mom, there is a bad dog outside!" Tom said. + +"Where is the dog?" Mom asked. + +"Behind the fence!" Sam said. + +Mom looked out the window and saw the dog. She was worried. She called the dog owner on the phone. + +"Hello, this is Tom and Sam's mom. Your dog is in my yard. It is scary. Can you come and get it?" Mom said. + +"Sorry, I did not know. I will be there soon. Do not go near the fence." The dog owner said. + +Mom told Tom and Sam to stay inside until the dog owner came. She gave them some cookies and milk. Tom and Sam were bored. They wanted to play outside. + +"Let's go and see the dog." Tom said. + +"No, Mom said no." Sam said. + +"Mom will not know. The dog is not so bad. Maybe it wants to play." Tom said. + +Tom sneaked out of the house. He went to the fence. He saw the dog. The dog saw him. The dog growled and jumped. It made a hole in the fence. It ran to Tom. Tom was scared. He screamed. + +Sam heard Tom scream. He ran to the window. He saw the dog bite Tom. He cried. + +Mom heard Sam cry. She ran to the window. She saw the dog bite Tom. She was angry and sad. She called 911. + +The dog owner came. He took the dog away. He said sorry. He said he did not finish fixing the fence. He said he would pay for Tom's hospital. + +Tom was hurt. He had to go to the hospital. He had to get stitches and medicine. He was not excited. He was sad and sorry. He wished he listened to Mom and Sam. He learned a lesson. He never went near the fence again. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have a big ship. The ship is blue and red. It has a wheel, a flag and a horn. + +"Let's go to the sea!" Tom says. He puts the ship on the floor and pushes it. The ship makes a sound. "Beep beep!" + +"Wait for me!" Sam says. He runs after the ship. He wants to hold the wheel. "I want to be the captain!" + +Tom and Sam take turns to be the captain. They pretend the floor is the sea. They see fish, sharks and whales. They have fun. + +The ship is reliable. It does not break. It does not stop. It does not sink. Tom and Sam love the ship. They play with it all day. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make it into a boat and sail away. + +"I want to be the captain," said Lily. "You can be the sailor." + +"No, I want to be the captain too," said Ben. "You can be the sailor." + +They disagreed. They both wanted to be the captain. They did not want to be the sailor. They started to argue and push each other. + +"Stop it, you two," said Mom. "Why can't you share the boat and take turns being the captain and the sailor?" + +"Because we are different," said Lily. "I have long hair and a pink dress. Ben has short hair and a blue shirt. We can't be the same." + +"That's silly," said Mom. "You are different on the outside, but you are the same on the inside. You both have a heart, a brain, and a smile. You both like to play and have fun. You both are my children and I love you. Being different is not a reason to disagree. It is a reason to learn and respect each other." + +Lily and Ben thought about what Mom said. They realized she was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share the boat and take turns being the captain and the sailor. They sailed away happily, enjoying their different and wonderful adventure. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the park. They open the box and see a robot. The robot is shiny and has buttons and lights. + +"Wow, a robot!" Lily says. "Can we play with it?" + +"Let's try," Tom says. He pushes a button. The robot makes a beep sound and moves its arms and legs. + +"Hello, I am Robo. I am a nice robot. Do you want to be my friends?" the robot says. + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Tom say. They are happy. They hug the robot. + +"Can you do anything else?" Tom asks. + +"I can gather things for you. Tell me what you want and I will find it," the robot says. + +"Can you gather some flowers for Lily?" Tom says. + +"Sure, I can," the robot says. It walks around the park and picks some flowers. It comes back and gives them to Lily. + +"Thank you, Robo. They are beautiful," Lily says. She smiles. + +"You are welcome, Lily. I like to make you happy," the robot says. + +Lily and Tom play with the robot for a long time. They have fun. They are glad they found a nice robot. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go and look," Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. + +They walked to the tree and peeked into the hole. They saw a shiny metal box. It had a lock on it. + +"Wow, what is that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, maybe it's a treasure," Lily said. + +They tried to open the box, but it was too hard. They needed a key. + +"Maybe we can find the key somewhere," Tom said. + +"Maybe it's in the house," Lily said. + +They ran to the house and looked for the key. They searched in the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom, but they could not find it. + +They were about to give up when they saw a picture on the wall. It was a picture of their grandma and grandpa. They were holding a pie and smiling. + +"Look, it's grandma and grandpa," Lily said. + +"They look happy," Tom said. + +They looked closer at the picture. They saw something shiny in grandma's hand. It was a key. + +"Look, grandma has the key," Tom said. + +"Maybe she can help us," Lily said. + +They took the picture off the wall and ran to the phone. They called grandma and told her about the box in the tree. + +"Hello, Tom and Lily," grandma said. + +"Hello, grandma, we need your help," Tom said. + +"What is it, my dears?" grandma asked. + +"We found a box in the tree, but we can't open it. We need the key. You have the key, grandma, we saw it in the picture," Lily said. + +"Oh, that box. That's an ancient box. It belongs to your grandpa. He found it when he was a boy. He gave me the key as a gift. He said it was a secret," grandma said. + +"What's inside the box, grandma?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, my dear. I never opened it. Your grandpa said it was a surprise. He said he would provide us with a clue when we were ready," grandma said. + +"Can we have the key, grandma? Can we open the box?" Lily asked. + +"Well, I suppose you can. But you have to promise me something. You have to share the surprise with me. And you have to bring me some pie. I love pie," grandma said. + +"OK, grandma, we promise. We will share the surprise with you. And we will bring you some pie. Can you come to our house?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, my dears. I'll be there soon. Wait for me," grandma said. + +Tom and Lily hung up the phone. They were excited. They wondered what was inside the ancient box. They hoped it was something good. They also hoped there was some pie left in the kitchen. They ran to check. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big hill with sand and grass. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben says. "We can run fast and print our feet on the sand!" + +"Okay, Ben!" Lily says. "But be careful, the hill is steep and slippery!" + +They hold hands and start to run up the hill. They feel the sand under their feet and the wind in their hair. They laugh and shout as they print their feet on the sand. They see their foot prints behind them, like a trail. + +They reach the top of the hill and look around. They see a pond with ducks and frogs, a bridge with flowers and a swing with a rope. They are happy and excited. They want to explore more. + +"Wow, look at all the things we can do!" Lily says. "Can we go to the pond and feed the ducks?" + +"Sure, Lily!" Ben says. "But first, let's print our feet on the grass, too!" + +They run down the hill and print their feet on the grass. They see their foot prints on the green and yellow blades. They smile and hug each other. They are proud of their prints. + +They run to the pond and feed the ducks. They run to the bridge and smell the flowers. They run to the swing and swing high and low. They have fun and make more prints. + +They are happy and tired. They sit on the grass and look at their prints. They see their prints on the sand and the grass. They see their prints on the pond and the bridge. They see their prints on the swing and the rope. + +They see their prints everywhere. They see their prints are beautiful. They see their prints are special. + +They are Lily and Ben. They are friends. They love to print their feet. +Sara and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are chefs and make food for their toys. Sara opens the cupboard and takes out some pots and pans. Ben finds some spoons and forks in the drawer. + +"Let's make soup!" Sara says. She fills a pot with water and puts it on the stove. Ben adds some salt and pepper from the shakers. + +"What else do we need?" Ben asks. + +Sara thinks for a moment. She sees a clear jar on the counter. It has some red and green things inside. + +"Tomatoes and peas!" she says. She takes the jar and opens it. She pours some of the tomatoes and peas into the pot. + +"Repeat after me," she tells Ben. "Tomatoes and peas, tomatoes and peas, they make our soup yummy and healthy." + +Ben repeats after her. "Tomatoes and peas, tomatoes and peas, they make our soup yummy and healthy." + +They stir the pot with their spoons and smell the soup. It smells good. + +"Soup is ready!" Sara announces. She turns off the stove and pours some soup into two bowls. She gives one to Ben and one to herself. They take their bowls and sit on the floor. They feed their toys with their forks. + +"Mmm, this is delicious!" Ben says. + +"Thank you, chef Sara!" Sara says. + +They smile and enjoy their soup. They are happy. +Ben and Lily liked to play with the board and the pieces. The board had many colors and shapes, and the pieces fit in the holes. They had to match the pieces with the right holes. It was fun and hard. + +One day, Ben saw a new piece on the shelf. It was shiny and round, and it had a star on it. Ben wanted to play with it. He took it from the shelf and put it in his pocket. He did not tell Lily. + +Lily looked for the new piece. She wanted to see it too. She asked Ben, "Where is the new piece? I want to play with it." + +Ben felt guilty. He knew he did wrong. He lied to Lily. He said, "I don't know. Maybe Mom took it." + +Lily was sad. She did not believe Ben. She said, "No, Mom did not take it. You took it. You are bad. Give it back to me." + +Ben was sorry. He did not want to make Lily sad. He took the piece from his pocket and gave it to Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I took it. I was selfish. Please forgive me." + +Lily was happy. She took the piece and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. You are good. Let's play with the board and the pieces together." + +They returned the piece to the shelf and played with the board and the pieces. They had fun and learned. They were friends. +Sara and Tom were restless. They did not want to go to bed. They wanted to visit their grandma, who lived far away. They missed her a lot. + +"Can we call grandma, please?" Sara asked their mom. + +"Not now, sweetie. It's evening. Grandma is sleeping. We can call her tomorrow." Mom said. + +"But we want to talk to her now!" Tom said. + +"Sorry, honey. You have to wait. Now go brush your teeth and put on your pajamas." Mom said. + +Sara and Tom were not happy. They went to their room, but they did not sleep. They had a plan. They took their backpacks and stuffed them with some clothes and toys. They wrote a note for their mom. It said: "We are going to visit grandma. Don't worry. We love you." + +They sneaked out of the house and walked to the bus stop. They saw a big bus with a sign that said: "To the city". They thought that was where grandma lived. They got on the bus and gave the driver some coins. They sat on the back seat and smiled. They were going to see grandma. + +But they did not know that the bus was not going to the city. It was going to the airport. And they did not know that the airport was very far and very big and very scary. And they did not know that their mom would wake up and find their note and cry and call the police. And they did not know that they would never see grandma again. +Sara and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to create different things with the blocks. Sara created a house, and Ben created a car. + +"Look at my house!" Sara said. "It has a door and a window and a roof." + +"Look at my car!" Ben said. "It has wheels and a horn and a seat." + +They were happy with their creations. But then, Tom came along. Tom was a bully. He liked to make other kids miserable. + +"Your house is silly!" Tom said. "Your car is ugly!" He kicked the blocks and made them fall down. + +Sara and Ben were very sad. They cried and hugged each other. + +"Why did you do that?" Sara asked Tom. "That was not nice!" + +Tom laughed. "I don't care!" he said. "I can do whatever I want. You can't stop me." + +Sara and Ben were angry. They wanted to tell Tom the truth. They wanted to make him sorry. + +They got up and picked up the blocks. They had an idea. They worked together and created something new with the blocks. + +"Look at this!" Sara said to Tom. "We created a monster!" + +The monster was big and scary. It had sharp teeth and claws and eyes. It roared and moved towards Tom. + +Tom was afraid. He screamed and ran away. + +Sara and Ben smiled. They high-fived each other. + +"We did it!" Ben said. "We showed him the truth. He can't bully us anymore." + +They hugged their monster and played with it. They were happy again. +Anna and Ben were going to visit their grandma in the city. They packed their bags and waited for the taxi to come. They were very excited to see the big buildings and the busy streets. + +"Look, Ben, the taxi is here!" Anna said, pointing to the yellow car. The taxi driver helped them put their bags in the trunk and opened the door for them. "Hello, kids, where are you going?" he asked. + +"To grandma's house, please," Ben said. He showed the driver a piece of paper with the address. The driver nodded and started the car. + +As they drove, Anna and Ben looked out the window and saw many things. They saw cars and buses and bikes and people. They saw shops and parks and signs and lights. They saw a large bridge that crossed a river. They saw a tall tower that glowed in the sun. + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna said, pointing to the tower. "It's so shiny and pretty!" + +"That's the Eiffel Tower," the driver said. "It's a famous landmark in the city. Do you want to see it closer?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben said together. + +The driver smiled and took a detour. He drove them to a place where they could see the tower better. He parked the taxi and let them out. + +"Take your time, kids," he said. "I'll wait for you here." + +Anna and Ben ran to the tower and looked up. They felt very small next to the large metal structure. They saw people going up and down in elevators. They saw birds flying around. They saw the sun reflecting on the tower. + +"It's so beautiful!" Anna said. + +"It's so amazing!" Ben said. + +They took a picture with the tower and thanked the driver. They got back in the taxi and continued their journey to grandma's house. They couldn't wait to tell her about their adventure. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. Sara is bossy. She always wants to tell Tom what to do. + +One day, their mom says they can go on a holiday. They are very happy. They want to see the sea and the sand and the sun. They start to plan what to pack and what to do. + +"I want to take my doll and my dress and my hat," Sara says. "And I want to make a big sandcastle and swim in the water and eat ice cream." + +"I want to take my car and my ball and my cap," Tom says. "And I want to dig a hole and kick the ball and eat pizza." + +"No, no, no," Sara says. "You have to do what I say. It's my plan. You have to take what I take and do what I do." + +"No, no, no," Tom says. "You are not the boss of me. It's our plan. You have to let me choose and have fun." + +They start to argue and shout. Their mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She says they have to stop fighting and share and be kind. She says they can both take what they want and do what they want, but they have to respect each other and listen to each other. She says they can have a great holiday if they work together and have fun together. + +Sara and Tom think about what their mom says. They say sorry to each other and hug. They agree to follow their mom's advice. They finish their plan and pack their bags. They are ready to go on their holiday. They are excited and happy. They hope to see the sea and the sand and the sun soon. +Sara and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. Sara found a mitten on the ground and put it on the snowman's hand. "Look, Ben, now he has a mitten!" she said. + +Ben looked at the mitten and frowned. "That's my mitten!" he said. "You took it from my coat. Give it back!" + +Sara shook her head. "No, it's the snowman's mitten. He needs it to keep warm. You have another one." + +Ben was angry. He tried to grab the mitten from the snowman, but Sara pushed him away. They started to fight and pull the mitten. The snowman wobbled and fell down. The hat and the scarf and the mitten flew off. Sara and Ben stopped fighting and looked at the snowman. He was broken. + +They felt sad and sorry. They looked at each other and said, "We're sorry, snowman. We didn't mean to break you." + +They decided to work together and restore the snowman. They rolled new snowballs and stacked them up. They put the hat and the scarf and the mitten back on. They gave him a smile and a nose and two eyes. They hugged the snowman and said, "We're sorry, snowman. We love you." + +The snowman was happy. He winked at them and said, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are very kind and patient. I love you too." +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play near the river. One day, they found a big raft. It was made of wood and had a rope. They wanted to ride on the raft. + +"Can we go on the raft?" Lila asked Sam. + +"Yes, let's go!" Sam said. "But we have to be careful. The river is fast and deep." + +They climbed on the raft and held the rope. The raft moved on the water. They saw many things. They saw fish and ducks and frogs. They saw trees and flowers and rocks. They saw the sun and the sky. It was beautiful. + +They were happy and excited. They laughed and sang. They felt the wind and the spray. They hugged each other. They were having fun. + +But then, the raft came to a big bend. The river was faster and louder. The raft shook and bounced. They saw a big rock ahead. They were scared. + +"Help! Help!" Lila and Sam shouted. "We are going to hit the rock!" + +They tried to steer the raft away from the rock. But it was too late. The raft hit the rock with a loud bang. The raft broke into pieces. Lila and Sam fell into the water. + +They were wet and cold. They cried and screamed. They held on to each other. They hoped someone would hear them. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was Lila's dad. He was on the shore. He had a long stick. He threw the stick to them. + +"Grab the stick!" he said. "I will pull you out!" + +Lila and Sam grabbed the stick. Lila's dad pulled them out of the water. He wrapped them in a warm blanket. He hugged them. + +"Are you okay?" he asked. + +"Yes, we are okay," Lila and Sam said. "But we are sorry. We broke the raft." + +"It's okay," Lila's dad said. "The raft was old and weak. It was not safe. You should not have gone on it. But I'm glad you are safe. You are brave and smart. And you are my beautiful children." + +He kissed them and hugged them again. Lila and Sam smiled. They were happy and grateful. They loved Lila's dad. They loved each other.

She asked her mom, "Mom, can I touch the light?" + +Mom said, "No, Lila, the light is hot and bright. You might hurt yourself. And you need a ladder to reach it." + +Lila was sad. She wanted to learn more about the light. She had an idea. She found a flashlight in the drawer. She turned it on and off. She saw the light come and go. She was happy. + +She went to the living room. She saw the light in the ceiling was off. She thought, "Maybe I can replace the light with my flashlight. Then I can see the light better." + +She put a chair under the light. She climbed on the chair. She held the flashlight in her hand. She reached for the light. + +But she was too small. She could not touch the light. She lost her balance. She fell off the chair. She dropped the flashlight. It broke. + +She cried. Mom heard her cry. She ran to the living room.

I wanted to replace the light with my flashlight. But I fell and broke it." + +Mom said, "Lila, I know you are curious. But you should not play with the light. It is dangerous. And you should not break your flashlight. It is yours. You should take care of it." + +Lila said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do it again. Can you fix my flashlight?" + +Mom said, "I'll try, Lila. But next time, if you want to learn about something, you can ask me. I can help you. I can show you books and pictures and videos. There are many ways to be curious and learn. Okay?" + +Lila said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lila." +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with boats in the bath. They have a big boat and a small boat. The big boat is heavy and the small boat is light. + +One day, Tim says, "I want to sail the big boat. You sail the small boat, Sam." + +Sam says, "No, I want to sail the big boat too. The big boat is better. The small boat is too light. It flips over." + +Tim says, "No, you can't sail the big boat. The big boat is mine. You have to sail the small boat." + +They start to fight over the big boat. They pull and tug and splash. The water goes everywhere. The soap goes in their eyes. They cry and scream. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the bathroom. She sees the mess and the boys. She is angry and sad. + +She says, "Stop fighting, Tim and Sam. You are both naughty. You have to share the boats. And you have to clean up the water and the soap. Or you can't play with the boats anymore." + +Tim and Sam say, "Sorry, Mom. We are sorry. We will share the boats. We will clean up the water and the soap." + +They hug Mom and say, "We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Tim and Sam. But next time, be nice to each other and don't make a mess." +Sara was very sleepy. She wanted to go to bed and have nice dreams. But her bed was too high for her. She could not climb up by herself. She needed help. + +She saw her big brother Tom in his room. He was reading a book. She went to him and said, "Tom, can you help me? I want to go to bed, but I can't reach my pillow." + +Tom smiled at her and put down his book. He was a nice brother. He picked up Sara and carried her to her bed.

The one who had the most blocks at the end would win. They said, "Ready, set, go!" and started to play. + +Ben picked a red block and put it in his pile. Lily picked a blue block and put it in her pile. They kept picking blocks until there were only a few left in the stack. Ben saw a yellow block that he liked. He reached for it, but Lily was faster. She grabbed the yellow block and said, "Ha! This is mine!" + +Ben was sad. He wanted the yellow block. He said, "No fair! Give it to me!" Lily said, "No way! I got it first!"

Ben and Lily said, "We are playing a game. We are picking blocks from the stack. The one who has the most blocks wins. But Lily took the yellow block that I wanted!" + +Mom said, "That is not a nice game. You are not sharing. You are not having fun. You are making a mess. You need to pay for the block if you want it so much." Ben and Lily said, "Pay? How do we pay?" Mom said, "You can pay with a hug, a kiss, a smile, or a sorry. Those are the best things to pay with." + +Ben and Lily thought about it. They did not want to fight anymore. They wanted to be happy. They wanted to be friends. They said, "OK, Mom. We will pay."

They gave the yellow block to each other. + +Mom said, "That is very good. You are very kind. You are very gifted. You can keep the yellow block and share it.

"Let's go and see it!" + +Mia was not enthusiastic. She was scared. She knew the saw was dangerous. She had heard her dad say so. He used a saw to cut wood in the garage. He always told her to stay away from the saw. + +"No, Tim, don't go!" she said. "The saw can hurt you! It can cut your fingers!" + +But Tim did not listen. He ran to the saw. He reached out his hand. He wanted to feel the saw. + +Suddenly, a loud noise made them jump. It was the man who owned the saw. He had come back from his lunch break. He saw Tim and Mia near his saw. He was angry and scared.

They promised to be more careful. They learned their lesson. They never played with a saw again. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they are lions. They put on brown pants and make fierce faces. They roar and jump around the grass. + +"Look at me, I am the king of the lions!" Tim says. He climbs on a big rock and roars louder. + +"I am the queen of the lions!" Sam says. She runs to the rock and tries to push Tim off. + +They both laugh and wrestle on the rock.

She was sorry. She did not mean to make a mess. + +Her mom looked under the bed and saw Lily. She was crying. She felt sorry for her too. She put the book on the shelf and knelt down. + +"Lily, come here. It's okay. I'm not mad at you. I'm just worried. You could have hurt yourself. You should not climb on the shelf. It's not safe. Do you understand?" she said in a soft voice. + +Lily nodded. She came out and hugged her mom. She said sorry. + +Her mom hugged her back. She said it's okay.

"Mom, what is this book about?" she asked. + +Her mom smiled and took the book from her. "This is a book for grown-ups, Lily. It has stories and ideas about wisdom. Wisdom is when you know a lot of things and use them to make good choices." + +Lily nodded, but she still wanted to know more. "Can I have wisdom, mom?" she asked. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Of course, Lily. You can have wisdom, but you have to learn it slowly and patiently. You have to read and listen and think and ask and try. You have to learn from your mistakes and from other people. You have to be kind and brave and honest. Wisdom is not something you can get quickly or easily. It is a great gift that you have to earn and share." + +Lily felt a little sad. She wanted to have wisdom now. She wanted to read the big book and understand everything. She urged her mom to let her try. "Please, mom, can I read the book with you? Maybe you can help me learn some wisdom." + +Her mom smiled again and said, "Lily, I love that you are curious and eager to learn. But this book is not for you right now. It has words and ideas that are too hard and complex for you. You have to read other books first, books that are suitable for your age and level. You have to learn the basics before you can learn the advanced. You have to grow up a little more before you can appreciate this book. Trust me, Lily, I know what is best for you. I have some wisdom, too, you know." + +Lily looked at her mom and saw the love and wisdom in her eyes. She felt a little disappointed, but also a little grateful. She knew her mom was right and wanted to help her. She decided to listen to her mom and put the book back on the shelf. She said, "Okay, mom, I understand. Thank you for explaining to me. Maybe when I am older, I can read the book with you and learn some wisdom." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "You are welcome, Lily. I am proud of you for being respectful and humble. You already have some wisdom, too, you know. And you will have more as you grow up. You are a great girl, Lily, and I love you very much." +Ben and Mia woke up early. They wanted to see the sunrise. They put on their coats and hats and went outside. It was still dark and cold. + +"Where is the sun?" Mia asked. + +"It is coming soon," Ben said. "We have to wait a little bit." + +They walked to the hill and sat on a rock. They looked at the sky. They saw some stars and a moon. They also saw some clouds. + +"Look, the clouds are changing color!" Ben said. "They are pink and orange and yellow." + +"That is very pretty," Mia said. "But where is the sun?" + +They waited some more. Then they saw a bright light behind the clouds. It was the sun. It started to glow and shine. It made the sky and the clouds and the hill and the rock and Ben and Mia glow too. + +"Wow, the sun is here!" Mia said. "It is so nice and warm and bright." + +"Yes, it is," Ben said. "The sunrise is very nice. I am happy we saw it." + +They smiled and hugged each other. They watched the sun go up and up. They felt happy and warm. They liked the sunrise. +Lila loved to dance. She liked to spin and jump and clap her hands. She wanted to perform for her family and friends. She practiced every day in her room. + +One night, she saw the moon outside her window. It was big and bright and round. She thought the moon was beautiful. She wanted to dance for the moon. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She ran outside to the garden. + +She looked up at the moon and smiled. She said, "Hello, moon. I want to show you my dance. I hope you like it." She started to dance. She spun and jumped and clapped her hands. She felt happy and free. + +But the moon did not say anything. It did not smile or clap or cheer. It just stayed quiet and still. Lila felt sad and confused. She stopped dancing. She said, "Moon, why don't you talk to me? Don't you like my dance?" + +Then she heard a voice behind her. It was her mom. She said, "Lila, what are you doing? It's late. You should be in bed." Lila turned around and saw her mom. She said, "Mom, I was dancing for the moon. But the moon did not talk to me. Why not?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Lila, the moon is very far away. It can't hear you or talk to you. It's deaf. But it can see you and your dance. And I'm sure it likes it very much. You are a wonderful dancer, Lila. And I'm very proud of you." + +Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love the moon, too. Even if it's deaf." She gave her mom a kiss and said, "Can we go inside and have some milk and cookies?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, my sweet. Come on, let's go." She took Lila's hand and they walked back to the house. The moon watched them and shone a little brighter. It was happy, too. +Anna and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a ball, a bike, a doll and a truck. They run and kick and ride and push. They have fun, but they also make a mess. The grass is flat, the flowers are broken, the dirt is everywhere. + +"Look at the garden!" Mom says. She is not happy. "You need to clean up your toys and help me fix the flowers. Then you can have a snack and rest." + +Anna and Ben say sorry to Mom. They do not like to make her sad. They pick up their toys and put them in a box. They help Mom with the flowers. They give them water and tie them with string. They say sorry to the flowers too. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says they are good kids. She gives them a snack and a drink. She says they can rest on the porch. Anna and Ben are tired from playing and cleaning. They rest on the porch and look at the garden. It is not messy anymore. It is pretty and green. They are happy and proud. They close their eyes and rest. +Sam loved jets. He had many jet toys and books. He wanted to see a real jet one day. His dad worked at the airport. He fixed jets and made them fly. + +One day, his dad said, "Sam, do you want to come with me to work? I have a surprise for you." Sam was excited. He put on his jacket and hat. He grabbed his favorite jet toy. He said, "Yes, dad, let's go!" + +They drove to the airport. Sam saw many jets on the ground and in the sky. He pointed and said, "Look, dad, jets! They are so big and fast!" His dad smiled and said, "Yes, they are. Do you want to see one up close?" Sam nodded and said, "Yes, please!" + +His dad parked the car and took Sam to a big hangar. Inside, there was a huge jet. It was blue and white. It had a big number on its tail. His dad said, "This is the jet I work on. It is called Jet 77. It is very special. Do you want to go inside?" Sam gasped and said, "Wow, dad, can we?" + +His dad said, "Yes, we can. But we have to be careful and follow the rules. Come on, I'll show you." He took Sam by the hand and led him to a ladder. They climbed up the ladder and entered the jet. Sam saw many seats and windows. He saw a cockpit with buttons and screens. He saw a kitchen with snacks and drinks. He saw a bathroom with a sink and a toilet. He said, "This is amazing, dad! It is like a house in the sky!" + +His dad said, "It is. And you know what? You are very lucky. Today, Jet 77 is going to fly to a faraway place. And you and I are going to fly with it. How do you feel about that?" Sam was speechless. He hugged his dad and said, "Thank you, dad! You are the best! I love you and I love jets!" His dad hugged him back and said, "I love you too, Sam. And I'm glad you love jets. Maybe one day, you can work on them too." They smiled and got ready for their flight. Sam was the happiest boy in the world. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They have a big box of toys. They have balls, cars, dolls, and books. They like to share their toys with each other and with their friends. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a red hat and a blue coat. He walks over to their box of toys and picks up a pole. The pole is long and shiny. It has a hook at the end. Anna and Ben use it to fish for leaves in the pond. + +"Hey, that's our pole!" Anna says. "Can we have it back, please?" + +The new boy shakes his head. He holds the pole tight. He says, "No, it's mine now. I like it. Go away." + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They want their pole back. They say, "That's not fair. You can't take our pole. We were playing with it first. Give it back or we will tell the teacher." + +The new boy does not listen. He laughs and runs away with the pole. He tries to fish for leaves in the pond, but he is not good at it. He drops the pole in the water. He tries to get it back, but he can't. He starts to cry. + +Anna and Ben see him crying. They feel sorry for him. They walk over to him and say, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" + +The new boy looks at them. He is pale and wet. He says, "I'm sorry. I was mean. I shouldn't have taken your pole. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "It's okay. We forgive you. Do you want to be our friend?" + +The new boy smiles. He says, "Yes, please. I'm sorry. I'm new here. I don't have any friends. My name is Sam." + +Anna and Ben say, "Hi, Sam. We're Anna and Ben. We have lots of toys. You can play with us. But you have to share and be nice." + +Sam says, "Okay. I will. Thank you." + +They help Sam get the pole out of the water. They dry it with a towel. They take turns fishing for leaves in the pond. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was to jump on the bed. They would bounce up and down, laugh and shout, and pretend they were flying. + +One day, their mom came to their room and said, "Lily and Ben, it is time to stop jumping on the bed. You will break the mattress and hurt yourselves. Come and have a snack with me." + +Lily and Ben did not want to stop. They liked jumping on the bed too much. They said, "No, mom, we want to play more. Jumping on the bed is fun. We are not tired or hungry." + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Lily and Ben, you are being difficult. You need to listen to me and do what I say. Jumping on the bed is not good for the mattress or for you. You can play something else after you have a snack. Now, come with me." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They knew mom was right, but they did not want to admit it. They decided to reply with a joke. They said, "Mom, we are not jumping on the bed. We are flying on the bed. Can we fly to the kitchen and have a snack there?" + +Mom smiled. She knew Lily and Ben were trying to be funny. She said, "Lily and Ben, you are very silly. You cannot fly on the bed or to the kitchen. You need to walk with me and have a snack on the table. Then you can fly in your imagination or play something else. But no more jumping on the bed, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They got off the bed and walked with mom to the kitchen. They had a snack and said sorry for being difficult. Mom hugged them and said she loved them. They said they loved her too. Then they went back to their room and played something else. They did not jump on the bed anymore, but they still had fun. +Tom liked to ride his bike in the park. He saw many things when he rode. He saw birds, trees, flowers and bugs. He liked bugs. They were small and had many legs. Some bugs could fly and some bugs could crawl. + +One day, he saw a big bug on a leaf. It was green and had wings. Tom wanted to see it better. He stopped his bike and got off. He walked to the leaf and looked at the bug. The bug looked at him too. + +"Hello, bug," Tom said. "What are you doing?" + +The bug made a sound. It sounded like a buzz. Tom thought the bug was talking to him. + +"I am riding my bike," Tom said. "Do you want to ride with me?" + +The bug nodded. It seemed to like Tom. Tom was kind. He picked up the bug gently and put it on his shoulder. Then he got on his bike and rode again. + +The bug held on to Tom's shirt. It felt the wind on its wings. It saw many things with Tom. It saw birds, trees, flowers and other bugs. It liked Tom. They were friends. + +Tom and the bug rode until it was time to go home. Tom stopped his bike and said goodbye to the bug. + +"Thank you for riding with me, bug," Tom said. "You are fun and nice. I hope to see you again." + +The bug made a sound. It sounded like a thank you. It flew off Tom's shoulder and landed on a leaf. It waved to Tom with its wing. + +Tom waved back and smiled. He got on his bike and rode home. He was happy. He had a new friend. A bug friend. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They had tickets in their hands. They liked to see the animals. + +They got in the car and drove to the zoo. They saw many cars and people on the way. They sang songs and played games. They were very excited. + +They got to the zoo and got out of the car. They walked to the gate. They saw a big sign that said "Zoo". They smiled. + +Mom and Dad gave their tickets to a man. The man smiled and said "Welcome to the zoo. Have a fun day." + +Lily and Tom gave their tickets to the man too. But the man looked at their tickets and said "Oh, I'm sorry. These are not zoo tickets. These are tickets for the circus. The circus is in another place. You can't come in with these tickets." + +Lily and Tom were very sad. They looked at their tickets. They saw clowns and elephants and balloons on their tickets. They realized they had the wrong tickets. They had made a mistake. + +Mom and Dad were very sorry too. They said "Oh, no. We must have mixed up the tickets. We bought them online and didn't check them carefully. We are so sorry, Lily and Tom. We made a mistake too." + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They wanted to see the animals. They didn't want to see the circus. They didn't like clowns and elephants and balloons. They liked lions and monkeys and birds. + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said "Don't worry, Lily and Tom. We will fix this. We will try to get zoo tickets. Or we will go to another place that you like. We will make this a fun day for you. We love you, Lily and Tom." + +Lily and Tom hugged them back and said "We love you too, Mom and Dad. We know you didn't mean to make a mistake. We are sorry we were sad. We will try to have fun with you. Thank you, Mom and Dad." + +They smiled and held hands. They walked away from the gate. They looked for another place to go. They hoped they would find something they liked. They hoped they would have a fun day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to splash in the puddles and make mud pies. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very wet and dirty. + +"Come on, kids, time to go inside!" Mom called from the door. "You need to take a bath and change your clothes." + +Lily and Ben ran to the door, but they did not want to leave their toys behind. They grabbed their favorite blanket and stuffed animal. The blanket was black with white stars, and the stuffed animal was a brown bear. + +"Can we take them to the bath, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, they are too dirty. They need to soak in the sink first. Then I will wash them and dry them for you." Mom said. + +"But we love them, Mom. They will be lonely in the sink." Ben said. + +"I know, honey, but they will be happy when they are clean and fluffy again. You can play with them later, I promise." Mom said. + +She took the blanket and the stuffed animal and put them in the sink. She filled it with warm water and soap. She gently rubbed them and rinsed them. Then she hung them on the clothesline to dry. + +Lily and Ben took their bath and put on clean clothes. They felt warm and cozy. They hugged Mom and said thank you. + +"Can we have our blanket and bear now, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Let's check if they are dry, okay?" Mom said. + +They went outside and saw their blanket and bear on the clothesline. They were clean and fluffy, but they were also very cold. + +"Brrr, they are freezing, Mom!" Ben said. + +"Let's warm them up, then. How about we take them to the couch and watch a movie?" Mom said. + +"Yay, that sounds fun!" Lily said. + +They took their blanket and bear and cuddled on the couch. They watched a movie and ate popcorn. They were happy and sleepy. They fell asleep with their blanket and bear in their arms. Mom smiled and kissed them good night. +It was Lily's birthday. She was glad. She had a cake with four candles. She had a pink dress and a crown. She had many friends to play with. + +Lily wanted to open her presents. She saw a big box with a bow. She thought it was a doll. She loved dolls. She asked her mom, "Can I open this one?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. It is not a doll. It is something else." + +Lily was curious. She tore the paper and opened the box. She saw a bike. It was shiny and blue. It had a bell and a basket. She was happy. She said, "Wow! A bike! Thank you, mom!" + +Her mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. Do you want to try it?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. But I don't know how." + +Her mom said, "Don't worry. I will help you. Come on, let's go outside." + +Lily and her mom went outside. Her mom held the bike and Lily sat on it. She put her feet on the pedals and her hands on the handlebars. She rang the bell. It made a nice sound. + +Her mom said, "Are you ready, Lily?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I am. Let's go!" + +Her mom pushed the bike and Lily started to pedal. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiled. She said, "This is fun! I like my bike!" + +Her mom said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You are doing great. Happy birthday, my sweet girl!" + +Lily said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. This is the best birthday ever!" +Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were animals and make noises. Ben was a lion and Lily was a bird. They ran and jumped on the furniture, but they were careful not to break anything. + +"Roar!" Ben said, as he chased Lily around the sofa. "I'm going to catch you, little bird!" + +"Tweet, tweet!" Lily said, as she flew to the armchair. "You can't catch me, big lion!" + +They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of mess. They threw pillows and blankets on the floor, and knocked over some books and toys. They did not see that Mom was watching them from the kitchen. + +Mom was not happy. She did not like to see the living room so messy. She wanted Ben and Lily to be healthy and play, but she also wanted them to respect the furniture and the house. She decided to teach them a lesson. + +She walked into the living room and snapped her fingers. "Ben, Lily, stop!" she said in a loud voice. "Look at this mess! You need to clean it up right now!" + +Ben and Lily were surprised and scared. They stopped playing and looked at Mom. They saw that she was angry and serious. They knew they had done something wrong. + +"Sorry, Mom," they said in a low voice. "We were just playing." + +"I know, but you also need to be careful and tidy," Mom said. "The furniture is not for jumping on, it is for sitting on. The books and toys are not for throwing, they are for reading and playing with. You need to respect the things we have and put them back where they belong." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for making Mom angry. They wanted to make her happy again. They started to pick up the pillows and blankets, and put them back on the sofa and the armchair. They also picked up the books and toys, and put them back on the shelf and the box. They worked together and quickly cleaned up the living room. + +Mom smiled. She was proud of Ben and Lily. She saw that they were good and helpful. She gave them a hug and a kiss. "Thank you, Ben and Lily," she said. "You did a great job. I love you very much." + +"We love you too, Mom," Ben and Lily said. "We're sorry for the mess. We won't do it again." + +Mom nodded. She was happy and calm. She let Ben and Lily play again, but this time, they played more quietly and carefully. They did not jump on the furniture or throw things. They pretended they were animals, but they also respected the house. They had a lot of fun, and Mom was happy too. +Sara liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was happy when she painted. + +One day, an elderly painter came to her school. He was very good at painting. He showed the children how to paint with water and oil. He painted a big picture of a mountain and a lake. The children watched and learned. + +Sara wanted to paint like him. She asked him, "Can you teach me how to paint with water and oil?" + +The elderly painter smiled and said, "Of course, I can. Come here and I will show you." + +He gave Sara a small canvas and some paints. He helped her mix the colors and apply the brushes. He taught her how to make light and shadow and texture. Sara followed his instructions and painted a beautiful picture of a flower. + +The elderly painter was proud of Sara. He said, "You are a very good painter, Sara. You have talent and passion. Keep painting and you will become even better." + +He showed Sara's picture to the other children and the teacher. They all liked it very much. They clapped their hands and cheered. They applauded Sara and the elderly painter. Sara was very happy. She hugged the elderly painter and thanked him. She said, "You are a very good teacher. Thank you for teaching me how to paint with water and oil." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw many birds, flowers and bugs. They were happy and had fun. + +But then Lily saw a big tree with red and yellow leaves. She wanted to see it closer. She told Tom to come with her. Tom said no. He wanted to stay on the swing. Lily said please. Tom said no again. Lily was sad. She decided to go by herself. She wandered away from the swing and the slide. She walked to the big tree. + +She reached the big tree and touched the leaves. They were soft and pretty. She saw a piece of bark on the ground. She picked it up and looked at it. It had lines and dots on it. She thought it was fine. She wanted to show it to Tom. She turned around and looked for him. + +But she could not see him. She could not see the swing or the slide either. She only saw more trees and bushes. She was lost. She felt scared and lonely. She started to cry. She wanted her mom and Tom. + +She heard a voice. It was her mom. She was calling her name. Lily shouted back. She said, "Mom, I'm here! I'm by the big tree!" She heard her mom say, "I'm coming, Lily! Stay there!" She saw her mom running towards her. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wandered away. I wanted to see the big tree. I found a piece of bark. It's fine. Do you want to see it?" + +Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "I'm glad you're fine, Lily. But you should not wander away without telling me. It's dangerous. You could get hurt or lost. You should always stay close to me and Tom. Do you understand?" Lily nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I'm sorry. I love you." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's go find Tom and play together." They walked back to the swing and the slide. They found Tom waiting for them. He was happy to see them. He said, "Where were you, Lily? I missed you." Lily showed him the piece of bark. She said, "I went to the big tree. I found this. It's fine. Do you like it?" Tom looked at it and said, "It's fine, Lily. But next time, don't wander away. Stay with me and Mom. OK?" Lily said, "OK, Tom. I'm sorry. I won't wander away again." They hugged and played together. They were happy and had fun. +Anna and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, swings, slides. They wanted to play and have fun. + +"Look, Ben, a wild cat!" Anna said. She pointed to a furry animal under a bush. It had black and orange stripes and a long tail. + +"Can we touch it, Mom?" Ben asked. He liked cats. He had a cat at home, but it was not wild. + +Mom shook her head. "No, Ben, we can't touch it. It is a wild cat, not a pet. It might be scared or angry if we go near it. It might scratch or bite us. We have to be careful and leave it alone." + +"But it looks so warm and soft," Anna said. She wanted to pet it and hear it purr. + +Mom smiled. "I know, Anna, but it is not safe. Wild cats are not like our cat. They live in the park and hunt for food. They are not used to people. We can look at it from here, but we can't touch it. Maybe we can find some other animals to touch, like ducks or squirrels." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They understood. They did not want to hurt the wild cat or make it mad. They followed Mom to the pond, where they saw some ducks and fed them bread. They touched their feathers and felt how warm and soft they were. They also saw some squirrels and threw them some nuts. They touched their tails and felt how bushy and fluffy they were. They had fun and learned about different animals. They thanked Mom for taking them to the park. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to eat snacks. Lily had a bag of cookies and Ben had a box of juice. + +"Can I have a cookie, please?" Ben asked Lily. + +"Sure, you can have one," Lily said. She gave him a cookie and took one for herself. + +They ate their cookies and drank their juice. They felt happy and full. + +But then, Lily heard a loud noise. It was her stomach. It was ringing like a bell. + +"Ring, ring, ring!" her stomach said. + +Lily felt funny. She put her hand on her stomach. + +"What's that?" Ben asked. + +"It's my stomach," Lily said. "It's ringing because I ate too many cookies. Now it's huge!" + +Ben looked at Lily's stomach. It was big and round. + +"Wow, your stomach is huge!" he said. "Does it hurt?" + +"A little bit," Lily said. "Maybe I should stop eating cookies for a while." + +"Maybe you should," Ben said. "Or you can share them with me. I don't have a ringing stomach." + +Lily smiled. She liked Ben. He was her friend. + +"Okay, I will share them with you," she said. "But only if you share your juice with me. I'm thirsty." + +"Okay, I will share my juice with you," Ben said. "But only if you play with me some more. I'm not tired." + +"Okay, I will play with you some more," Lily said. "But only if you swing with me. I like swinging." + +"Okay, I will swing with you," Ben said. "But only if you slide with me. I like sliding." + +"Okay, I will slide with you," Lily said. + +They shared their snacks and played in the park. They forgot about their ringing stomachs. They had fun. +Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to wash the fruits and vegetables and put them in a bowl. One day, her mom gave her a long green thing to wash. Sara did not know what it was. + +"Mom, what is this?" Sara asked. + +"That is celery, Sara. It is a vegetable that we can eat raw or cooked. It is crunchy and has a mild flavor. Do you want to try a bite?" her mom explained. + +Sara nodded and took a small bite of the celery. She felt the water and the fibers in her mouth. She did not like it very much. She made a face and spit it out. + +"Yuck, mom, I don't like celery. It is not sweet or sour or salty. It is boring," Sara said. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "That's okay, Sara. You don't have to like everything. Celery is interesting because it has a lot of water and vitamins. Some people like to dip it in peanut butter or cheese or hummus. Maybe you will like it better that way. Do you want to try?" her mom asked. + +Sara thought for a moment. She liked peanut butter and cheese and hummus. She decided to give celery another chance. She dipped a piece of celery in peanut butter and took a bite. She liked it better than before. She smiled and said, "Mom, you are right. Celery is interesting. Can I have more?" +Anna and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to build things with lumber. Lumber was big and hard and brown. They had many pieces of lumber. They made a house, a car, a boat and a bridge. + +"Look at our lovely lumber things!" Anna said. "We are so good at building!" + +"Yes, we are!" Ben said. "Let's play with them now!" + +They pretended to live in the house, drive the car, sail the boat and cross the bridge. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. The truck came to their yard. It had a big arm. The arm grabbed their lumber things and put them in the back of the truck. + +"Hey, stop!" Anna shouted. "That's our lumber! That's our lovely lumber!" + +Ben ran to the truck. He tried to get their lumber back. But the truck was too fast. It drove away with their lumber. + +Anna and Ben were very sad. They cried and screamed. + +"Give us back our lumber!" they screamed. "We want our lovely lumber!" + +But the truck did not hear them. It was gone. Anna and Ben hugged each other. They did not know what to do. They had no more lumber to play with. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box of oats in the kitchen. They decided to use the oats to make a castle on the floor. + +"Look, Tim, I made a tower with the oats!" Sam said, showing his brother his creation. + +"That's stupid, Sam. My castle is better than yours. It has a moat and a bridge and a flag," Tim said, pointing to his own oat castle. + +Sam felt sad and angry. He wanted to have a nice castle too. He grabbed some oats from Tim's castle and tried to add them to his tower. + +"Hey, stop that! Those are my oats!" Tim shouted, pulling the oats back. + +They started to fight over the oats, pulling and pushing and yelling. They did not see their mom coming into the kitchen. + +"What are you two doing?" Mom asked, looking at the mess on the floor. "You are making a big mess with the oats. Those are for breakfast, not for playing." + +She took the box of oats and put it on the counter. Then she told Tim and Sam to clean up the floor and go to their room. + +"But Mom, we were making castles!" Tim said. + +"Yeah, and Tim took my oats!" Sam said. + +"I don't care. You should not play with food. And you should not fight with each other. Now go to your room and think about what you did," Mom said. + +Tim and Sam had no choice. They picked up the oats from the floor and threw them in the trash. Then they went to their room, feeling sorry and bored. + +They looked at each other and sighed. They wished they could play with their castles again. But the oats were gone. They had vanished. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the bath. They had many toys: a boat, a duck, a frog and a ball. They made big waves and splashed water everywhere. + +"Let me have the boat!" Tim said. He wanted to make the boat go fast. + +"No, let me have it!" Sam said. He wanted to make the boat spin. + +They both pulled the boat and it broke in two. They were sad and angry. + +"Look what you did!" Tim said. + +"Look what you did!" Sam said. + +They heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She had a big towel. + +"What is going on here?" she asked. She saw the water on the floor and the broken boat. + +"Tim and Sam, you are in trouble. You made a big mess and you broke your toy. You have to share and be nice to each other. You are lucky to have a bath and toys. Some kids don't have them. Some kids are not rich like you." + +She wrapped them in the towel and dried them. She hugged them and said, "I love you, but you have to say sorry to each other and help me clean up." + +Tim and Sam felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They helped her clean up the water and the boat. They learned to share and be nice. They were happy again. +Tom and Lily like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a bow and an arrow. The arrow has a red tip and a feather. The bow is brown and bendy. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the bow and the arrow. He wants to try it. He puts the arrow on the bow and pulls it back. "Ready, aim, fire!" he shouts. He lets go of the arrow. It flies across the room and hits the wall. + +"Ouch!" Lily says. She is sitting on the bed. The arrow bounces off the wall and lands on her head. It tickles her hair. She laughs. She thinks it is funny. She picks up the arrow and throws it back to Tom. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Tom says. He catches the arrow. He likes the game. He runs to the other side of the room. He shoots the arrow again. It flies over the bed and hits the lamp. The lamp makes a loud noise and falls down. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. She is scared. She jumps off the bed. She runs to Tom. They hug each other. They hear their mom coming. They are in trouble. They hide the bow and the arrow under the bed. They hope mom will not see them. They start to say sorry. +Ben and Mia love to swim in the pool. They wear their swim suits and jump in the water. They splash and kick and have fun. + +One day, they see a big flag on the wall. It is red and white and blue. It has stars and stripes. Ben and Mia think it is pretty. + +"Look, Mia, a flag!" Ben says. + +"What is a flag, Ben?" Mia asks. + +"A flag is a thing that shows who you are. Like, we are from here, and the flag is from here too. Do you understand?" Ben says. + +Mia nods. She likes the flag. She wants to touch it. + +"Can we swim to the flag, Ben?" Mia says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. The flag is very high on the wall. They have to swim very far and very fast. + +"OK, Mia, let's try. But we have to be careful. And we have to listen to Mom and Dad. They are watching us," Ben says. + +Mia agrees. They swim to the flag. They swim and swim and swim. They are almost there. + +But then, they hear a loud whistle. It is the pool man. He is angry. He waves his arms and shouts. + +"Hey, you two, stop! You can't swim to the flag! That is crazy! You can get hurt! Come back here, now!" he says. + +Ben and Mia are scared. They did not know they were doing something bad. They swim back to the edge of the pool. They look at the pool man. He is still angry. + +"Sorry, sir, we did not know. We just wanted to see the flag. It is so pretty," Mia says. + +The pool man sighs. He is not so angry anymore. He sees that Ben and Mia are just curious kids. + +"I know, I know. The flag is pretty. But it is also dangerous. You can't swim to it. You can look at it from here. OK?" he says. + +Ben and Mia nod. They say sorry again. They promise to not swim to the flag anymore. + +The pool man smiles. He gives them a high five. He tells them to have fun, but to be safe. + +Ben and Mia smile too. They thank the pool man. They swim to their Mom and Dad. They tell them what happened. They hug them and say they love them. + +They still like the flag. But they know they can't swim to it. They swim to other things instead. They have fun. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are hungry. They want a snack. They go to the kitchen. They see the freezer. They open the freezer. They see ice cream. They smile. + +They take out the ice cream. They do not have a spoon. They use their hands. They eat the ice cream. They are happy. They make a mess. They do not care. + +Mom comes to the kitchen. She sees Sara and Ben. She sees the ice cream. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? You made a big mess! You cannot get ice cream without asking me. You need a spoon. You need a napkin. You need to clean up." + +Sara and Ben look at Mom. They look at the ice cream. They look at the mess. They are not happy. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were hungry. We wanted a snack. We like ice cream. We did not know we made a mess." + +Mom sighs. She says, "I know you like ice cream. But you have to follow the rules. You have to ask me before you get anything from the freezer. You have to use a spoon and a napkin. You have to clean up after yourself. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will follow the rules. We will use a spoon and a napkin. We will clean up the mess. Can we have some more ice cream?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Maybe later. First, you have to help me clean up the mess. Then, you have to wash your hands and face. Then, you have to take a nap. After that, we can have some more ice cream. OK?" + +Sara and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We will help you clean up. We will wash our hands and face. We will take a nap. We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you, too, Sara and Ben. You are my sweet and messy kids." +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, she saw something new. It was a lizard. It had green skin and a long tail. It ran fast on the grass. + +Lily wanted to show the lizard to her mom. She ran after it and tried to catch it. But the lizard was too quick. It hid under a leaf. Lily looked and looked, but she could not find it. + +She was sad. She wanted to show the lizard to her mom. She wanted to see if her mom liked it too. She sat on the ground and started to cry. + +"Hey, Lily, what's wrong?" her mom asked. She came out of the house and saw Lily crying. She hugged her and wiped her tears. + +"I saw a lizard, mom. A green lizard. But it ran away. I wanted to show you. But I lost it," Lily said. + +"A lizard? That sounds exciting. Maybe it will come back. Maybe it is just shy. Let's wait and see," her mom said. + +They sat on the ground and waited. They looked at the flowers and the bugs and the rocks. They talked and laughed. They were jolly. + +Then, Lily saw something move. It was the lizard. It came out of the leaf. It looked at Lily and her mom. It seemed curious. + +"Look, mom, look! The lizard is back! It came to say hello!" Lily said. + +She pointed at the lizard. Her mom smiled and nodded. + +"Hello, lizard. You are very pretty. Thank you for coming back. Lily wanted to show you to me. She likes you very much," her mom said. + +The lizard tilted its head. It blinked its eyes. It seemed to understand. It ran closer to Lily and her mom. It stopped on a rock. It let Lily touch its skin and its tail. It was smooth and warm. + +Lily was happy. She showed the lizard to her mom. She made a new friend. She was jolly. +Lily and Anna are best friends. They like to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Lily sees a shiny bracelet in Anna's room. It has many colors and makes a nice sound when it moves. + +"Can I see your bracelet?" Lily asks Anna. + +"Sure, you can see it. But it is mine. You have to give it back," Anna says. + +Lily takes the bracelet and puts it on her wrist. She likes how it looks and feels. She does not want to give it back. + +"Can I keep it? Please, Anna, please," Lily begs. + +"No, Lily, you can't keep it. It is not fair. My grandma gave it to me for my birthday. It is special to me," Anna says. + +Lily gets angry. She does not care about Anna's grandma. She thinks the bracelet is more special to her. She runs away with the bracelet and hides in the closet. + +Anna cries. She does not understand why Lily is so mean. She wants her bracelet back. She tells her mom what happened. + +Mom goes to the closet and knocks on the door. + +"Lily, come out of there. You have to give Anna her bracelet back. It is not yours. It is not nice to take things that belong to others," Mom says. + +Lily feels bad. She knows Mom is right. She comes out of the closet and gives Anna her bracelet back. She says she is sorry. + +Anna smiles. She is happy to have her bracelet back. She says she forgives Lily. + +Lily and Anna hug. They are still best friends. They decide to share their toys and be fair. They play with dolls and dress up again. They have fun. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They had many toys, books, and clothes. They also had a big garden where they could play and run. They liked their house very much. It was a luxury for them. + +One day, their mom and dad told them that they had to move to a smaller house in another town. They said that they had lost their jobs and they had to save money. Tom and Lily were sad and scared. They did not want to leave their house and their friends. They did not understand why they had to move. + +They packed their things in boxes and said goodbye to their house and their garden. They got in the car with their mom and dad and drove for a long time. They arrived at their new house. It was very small and old. It had no garden, only a tiny balcony. Tom and Lily did not like it at all. They missed their old house very much. + +They went to their new school the next day. They did not know anyone there. The other kids looked at them strangely. Some of them were mean and laughed at their clothes and their toys. They said that they were poor and had no luxury. Tom and Lily felt lonely and angry. They wished they could go back to their old school. + +One day, they met a boy named Sam. He was nice and friendly. He invited them to play with him and his friends. He showed them his toys and his books. He had a lot of them. He also had a big house with a garden and a pool. He said that his dad was a doctor and his mom was a lawyer. He said that he had a luxury life. Tom and Lily felt jealous of him. They wanted to have what he had. + +But then, Sam told them a secret. He said that he was not happy. He said that his mom and dad were always busy and never had time for him. He said that they fought a lot and sometimes slept in different rooms. He said that he missed having a family that loved him and cared for him. He said that he wished he had what Tom and Lily had. + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They realized that they had something that Sam did not have. They had a mom and dad who loved them and stayed together. They had each other as twins and best friends. They had a home where they felt safe and warm. They realized that they did not need a luxury to be happy. They had each other. + +They hugged Sam and told him that they were his friends. They said that they would share their toys and their books with him. They said that they would invite him to their house and play with him. They said that they did not care about luxury. They cared about him. + +Sam smiled and thanked them. He said that he was happy to have them as friends. He said that he did not miss luxury. He missed having friends. He said that he liked them very much. + +Tom and Lily smiled too. They said that they liked him too. They said that they did not miss their old house. They missed having friends. They said that they were happy to have him as a friend. + +They played together and had fun. They learned to be happy with what they had. They learned to not be jealous of what they did not have. They learned to not miss luxury. They learned to love each other. +Anna liked to feed the pigeons in the park. She had some bread that she broke into small pieces and threw on the ground. The pigeons came and ate the bread. They made soft noises and flapped their wings. Anna smiled and felt happy. + +But then a big dog came running. The dog barked and chased the pigeons. The pigeons flew away, scared. The dog did not stop. He ran after the pigeons and jumped on them. He caught one pigeon in his mouth and shook it hard. The pigeon cried and tried to get away. + +Anna saw what the dog did and felt sad and angry. She ran to the dog and shouted, "Stop! Bad dog! Leave the pigeon alone!" She tried to pull the dog away from the pigeon, but the dog was too strong. He growled and snapped at Anna. Anna felt scared and hurt. She let go of the dog and ran back to her mom. + +Her mom hugged her and asked, "What happened, Anna? Are you okay?" Anna told her mom what the dog did to the pigeon. She said, "I wanted to feed the pigeons, but the dog was mean. He hurt the pigeon. The pigeon is gone. I'm sorry, mom. I regret feeding the pigeons." + +Her mom said, "It's not your fault, Anna. You were kind and generous to the pigeons. The dog was naughty and cruel. He should not have done that. I'm sorry you saw that. It must have been very uncomfortable. But you were brave and tried to help the pigeon. I'm proud of you, Anna. You did the right thing." + +Anna hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can we go home now?" Her mom said, "Yes, we can. Let's go home and have some cookies and milk. Maybe we can come back another day and feed the pigeons again. But we will be careful and watch out for dogs." Anna said, "Okay, mom. I hope the pigeons are okay." Her mom said, "Me too, Anna. Me too." +One day, a little girl named Mia went to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings and the slide, and to look at the flowers and the birds. She also liked to watch the squirrels that ran around the trees and the grass. + +Mia saw a squirrel that had a big fluffy tail and a brown coat. She thought it was very cute and wanted to pet it. She ran after the squirrel, but it was too fast and scared. It climbed up a tree and hid behind a branch. + +"Mom, mom, look at the squirrel!" Mia shouted. "I want to pet it!" + +"Mia, be careful," her mom said. "Squirrels are wild animals. They don't like to be touched by people. They might bite you or scratch you. You could suffer if you get too close to them." + +"But mom, it's so cute!" Mia said. "Maybe it's lonely and wants a friend. Maybe I can give it some nuts or some bread." + +Her mom shook her head. "No, Mia, that's not a good idea. Squirrels have their own food and their own friends. They don't need our food or our company. They are happy in their own way. You should respect them and leave them alone." + +Mia felt sad. She wanted to play with the squirrel, but she also didn't want to hurt it or make it angry. She wondered if there was another way to make friends with it. + +She had an idea. She was very creative and liked to draw and paint. She took out her crayons and a piece of paper from her backpack. She decided to make a picture of the squirrel and show it to him. Maybe he would like it and smile at her. + +She worked hard on her picture. She drew the squirrel's big fluffy tail, his brown coat, his black eyes, and his cute nose. She also drew some acorns and some leaves around him. She colored everything with her crayons. She was very proud of her picture. + +She walked slowly to the tree where the squirrel was hiding. She held up her picture and said softly, "Hello, squirrel. I made this for you. Do you like it?" + +The squirrel peeked out from behind the branch. He saw the picture and tilted his head. He was curious and surprised. He had never seen anything like it before. He made a small noise and came down a little bit. + +Mia smiled and said, "This is you. You are very cute and very fast. I wanted to pet you, but my mom said no. She said you might suffer if I touch you. I don't want to make you suffer. I just want to be your friend. Can I be your friend?" + +The squirrel looked at Mia and then at the picture. He saw that Mia was kind and creative. He saw that she meant no harm. He felt a little bit of trust and a little bit of friendship. He made another noise and nodded his head. + +Mia was very happy. She had made a new friend. She said, "Thank you, squirrel. You are very nice and very smart. I will call you Fluffy. Can I come back and see you again?" + +The squirrel nodded again and smiled. He liked his new name and his new friend. He said, "Yes, Mia. You can come back and see me again. But please don't touch me or feed me. Just show me your pictures and talk to me. That's enough for me." + +Mia agreed. She said, "Okay, Fluffy. I will do that. I will make more pictures for you and tell you stories. I will respect you and leave you alone. But I will always be your friend." + +They both smiled and waved at each other. Mia put her picture in her backpack and ran back to her mom. She told her mom about Fluffy and how they became friends. Her mom was proud of her and hugged her. She said, "You are very creative and very brave, Mia. You have learned a valuable lesson today. You have learned how to respect and appreciate different animals and their ways of life. You have learned how to make friends without hurting or bothering them. You have learned how to be a good person." + +Mia nodded and hugged her mom back. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love Fluffy. He is my new friend. And I am his new friend. We are happy in our own way." +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. But one day, they had a fight. Lily wanted to play with the pink doll, and Ben wanted to play with the blue car. They both said, "It's mine!" and pulled hard. + +"Stop it!" said Mom. "You have to share. You can take turns, or play with something else." But Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept pulling and yelling. Mom was angry. She took the doll and the car and put them on a high shelf. "No more toys for you today," she said. "You need a time out." + +Lily and Ben sat on opposite corners of the room. They were sad and mad. They did not look at each other. They did not say sorry. They waited for a long time. + +Then, Lily heard a whisper. It was Ben. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was mean. Can we be friends again?" Lily looked at Ben. He looked sorry. She felt sorry too. She whispered back, "Ben, I'm sorry too. I was mean. Yes, we can be friends again." + +They got up and hugged. They felt happy. They felt ashamed of their fight. They said to Mom, "Mom, we're sorry. We had a fight. We're friends again. Can we have our toys back?" Mom smiled. She was glad. She said, "I'm proud of you. You said sorry. You can have your toys back. But remember to share and be kind." Lily and Ben nodded. They took their toys and played nicely. They did not fight anymore. They were best friends. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with long hair and pretty dresses. She liked to comb their hair and make them look nice. She had a pink comb that was her favorite. + +One day, she was playing with her dolls in her room. She was combing the hair of her doll Anna, who had blond hair and a blue dress. She was humming a song and having fun. + +But then, she heard a noise. It was her brother Max, who was four years old. He came into her room and saw her dolls. He liked to tease Lily and make her angry. + +"Hey, Lily, can I play with your dolls?" he asked with a grin. + +"No, Max, go away! These are my dolls, not yours!" Lily said, holding Anna close to her. + +"Come on, Lily, don't be mean. Let me see your comb. It looks nice and shiny," Max said, reaching for the pink comb. + +Lily pulled the comb away from him. "No, Max, this is my comb. You have your own comb. It is brown and rough. You can't use my comb. It is for my dolls only!" + +Max did not listen. He grabbed the comb from Lily's hand and ran away. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, I have your comb now, Lily. What are you going to do?" + +Lily was very angry and sad. She ran after Max and shouted, "Give me back my comb, Max! That is not nice! That is not fair!" + +She chased him around the house, but he was faster than her. He turned left and right, up and down, and hid behind the sofa and the table. He kept taunting Lily and waving the comb in the air. + +Lily was tired and frustrated. She started to cry. She wanted her comb back. She wanted to play with her dolls. She did not like Max. He was mean and rude. + +But then, she heard another voice. It was her mom, who had heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She saw Max and Lily and the pink comb. She knew what had happened. + +"Max, what are you doing with Lily's comb?" she asked sternly. + +Max stopped running and looked at his mom. He knew he was in trouble. He lowered his head and said, "I was just playing, mom. I wanted to see the comb. It is so pretty." + +Mom shook her head and said, "Max, that is not playing. That is stealing. You took Lily's comb without asking. You made her cry. That is not nice. That is not fair. You have to give the comb back to Lily and say sorry." + +Max felt ashamed. He knew his mom was right. He walked over to Lily and gave her the comb. He looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have taken your comb. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Max and saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry for him too. She took the comb and said, "It's okay, Max. I forgive you. But don't do it again. This is my comb. You have your own comb. You can play with your own toys." + +Max nodded and said, "I understand, Lily. I won't do it again. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Max, we can still be friends. But only if you promise to be nice and fair." + +Max hugged Lily and said, "I promise, Lily. I will be nice and fair. Thank you for being my sister." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Max and Lily. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you play together nicely? You can share your toys and have fun." + +Max and Lily agreed. They went back to Lily's room and played with her dolls. They used both combs, the pink one and the brown one. They combed the dolls' hair and made them look nice. They talked and laughed and had fun. + +They were happy and they loved each other. They were brother and sister. +Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, towers, and animals with their blocks. + +One day, they decide to make a big world with their blocks. They use blue blocks for the water, green blocks for the land, yellow blocks for the sun, and white blocks for the clouds. They add more and more blocks to their world until it fills the whole floor. + +"Look at our world!" Sara says. "It is so pretty and big!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "But it needs something else." + +"What does it need?" Sara asks. + +"It needs people!" Ben says. He picks up some red blocks and starts to make people shapes. He puts them on the land and the water. + +"No, no, no!" Sara says. "You can't do that! People don't live on the water! And they don't look like that! They have heads and arms and legs and faces!" + +"But I like my people!" Ben says. "They are different and fun!" + +Sara and Ben start to argue. They are both stubborn. They don't want to change their blocks. They pull and push and shout at each other. + +"Stop it!" their mom says. She comes into the room and sees their mess. "What are you doing? You are ruining your world!" + +Sara and Ben stop and look at their mom. They feel sorry. They look at their world. It is not pretty and big anymore. It is broken and sad. + +"We are sorry, mom," Sara and Ben say. "We were trying to make a world, but we couldn't agree." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. "It's okay, my loves," she says. "Making a world is hard. You have to respect and listen to each other. You have to share and cooperate. You have to be kind and creative. Do you want to try again?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say sorry to each other. They pick up their blocks and start to make a new world. They ask and help each other. They make a world that they both like. They are happy and proud. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a big door. The door is old and brown. It has many cracks and scratches. + +"Let's visit the house," Tom says. "Maybe there is something fun inside." + +Lila is scared. She does not like the door. She thinks it is ancient. Ancient means very, very old. + +"No, Tom, I don't want to visit the house," Lila says. "The door is ancient. It might fall down. It might be dark and spooky inside." + +Tom is not scared. He is curious. He wants to see what is behind the door. He walks to the door and pushes it. The door makes a loud noise. It creaks and groans. It opens a little bit. + +"Come on, Lila, don't be afraid," Tom says. "Let's peek inside. Maybe there is a treasure or a toy or a cake." + +Lila does not want to peek inside. She wants to run away. She grabs Tom's hand and pulls him. She says, "No, Tom, no! Let's go back to the park. The park is fun and safe and bright. The house is not. The house is ancient and scary and dark." + +Tom listens to Lila. He lets go of the door. He follows Lila to the park. They play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They forget about the house and the door. They are happy and brave and friends. +Lila and Ben are friends who like to play together. But one day, they have a quarrel over an avocado. Lila says she wants to eat the avocado, because it is green and soft and yummy. Ben says he wants to eat the avocado, because it is his favorite fruit and he is hungry. + +They both pull the avocado and try to take it from each other. They shout and cry and make a lot of noise. "Give me the avocado!" Lila says. "No, it is mine!" Ben says. They are not happy and not nice to each other. + +Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the avocado and shakes her head. She says, "Lila and Ben, why are you quarreling over an avocado? There are more avocados in the kitchen. You can both have one if you share and say sorry." + +Lila and Ben stop pulling and look at their mom. They feel a little silly and a little sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lila. Sorry, Ben." They hug and make up. Their mom smiles and says, "That's good. You are clever and kind friends. Now, let's go and get more avocados and have a snack." Lila and Ben nod and follow their mom. They are happy and nice to each other again. They enjoy eating their avocados and playing together. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys in the bath. They have ducks, boats, cups and bubbles. They splash the water with their hands and feet. They make big waves and laugh. + +"Look, Mia, I can make a big splash with this cup!" Tom says. He fills the cup with water and throws it in the air. The water falls on his head and face. He giggles. + +"Me too, Tom, me too!" Mia says. She fills her cup with water and throws it in the air. The water falls on her head and face. She giggles too. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Mom. She is angry. She comes into the bathroom. She sees the water on the floor and the walls. She sees the twins with wet hair and clothes. + +"Tom and Mia, what are you doing? You made a big mess! You wet the floor and the walls and the drawer! The drawer is heavy and full of towels. Now the towels are wet too. You have to stop splashing and get out of the bath. You have to dry yourselves and help me clean up. This is not funny. This is naughty." Mom says. + +Tom and Mia feel sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They did not know the water would go to the drawer. They say sorry to Mom. They get out of the bath. They dry themselves with dry towels. They help Mom clean up the water and the drawer. They hug Mom and say they love her. Mom hugs them back and says she loves them too. She says they can play in the bath again, but they have to be careful and not splash too much. Tom and Mia nod and smile. They learned their lesson. They still like to play in the bath, but they splash less. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the same ones best. They wanted to share, but sometimes they fought. + +"Give me the car!" Ben said. He tried to grab the car from Lily's hand. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She held the car tight and ran away. + +Ben was angry. He saw Lily's doll on the sofa. He had an idea. He took the doll and poked its eyes. He poked them hard. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the doll said. It was a talking doll. It did not like to be poked. + +Lily heard the doll. She turned around and saw Ben. She saw what he did to her doll. She was sad and mad. + +"Ben, you are naughty!" she said. She ran to Ben and took her doll back. She hugged it and checked its eyes. + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" the doll said. It was scared of Ben. + +Ben felt bad. He saw that he hurt Lily and her doll. He did not want to be naughty. He wanted to be nice. + +"Sorry, Lily," he said. "I was wrong. Can we be friends?" + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She wanted to be friends, too. + +"OK, Ben," she said. "But don't poke my doll again." + +"I won't, I promise," Ben said. He smiled at Lily. + +Lily smiled back. She had an idea. She went to the kitchen and came back with two treats. They were cookies with chocolate chips. + +"Here, Ben," she said. "This is for you. Let's share." + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben said.

They said, "But we want cake and candy." + +Mom said, "No, cake and candy are not good for you. They make your teeth hurt and your tummy ache. You need to eat bread, cheese, apple, and carrot.

She does not want him to be sad. But she also does not want to make Mom sad. She does not know what to do. + +She looks at the letter. She sees a sticker on it. It has a picture of a bear and a heart. It says "To Mom, from Dad". Mia smiles. She has an idea. + +"Tom, I have an idea," she says. "We can not open the letter. But we can make a letter for Mom too.

The noise is to let other cars know to move out of the way. The truck is passing by. It will be gone soon." + +Mom took them back to the living room and sat with them on the couch. She turned on the TV and put on their favorite show. She said, "Let's watch this together. It will make us feel better. We are safe and cozy here.
