Let's pick some fruits and share them with our parents." + +Tom and Lily climb the tree and pick some fruits. They are careful not to hurt the tree or the birds.

It was still gray and shiny and had a hole on its head. But it was not weak and scared anymore. It was free and brave. + +Ben and Lily smiled and hugged. They were happy and proud. They had helped the whale. They had made a friend. +Lila and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big swing. It had a long cord and a round seat. They wanted to try it. + +"Let's plan how to swing," Lila said. "You push me first, then I push you." + +"OK," Ben said. "But be careful. The cord is high and the seat is small." + +They took turns to push each other. They had fun. They swung higher and higher. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. + +But then, Ben had a foolish idea. He wanted to jump off the swing when it was very high. He thought it would be fun. + +"Watch me, Lila," he said. "I'm going to jump." + +"No, Ben, don't do that," Lila said. "It's dangerous. You can fall and hurt yourself." + +But Ben did not listen.

He felt pain in his leg and his arm. He cried. + +Lila ran to him. She was scared and sad. She hugged him and said, "Ben, why did you do that? That was foolish. You could have broken your bones." + +Ben was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I was foolish. I wanted to have fun, but I was not careful. I hurt myself and I hurt you." + +Lila said, "It's OK, Ben.

It says 'delicious' on the label," Anna said. + +"Let's buy it for her. We have some money left," Ben said. + +They took the bottle of wine and went to the cashier. The cashier looked at them and frowned. + +"Are you kids buying wine? You are too young for that," the cashier said. + +"No, it's for our mom. She likes delicious things," Anna said. + +The cashier shook his head and took the bottle of wine away. + +"Sorry, kids, but you can't buy wine. It's not for children. It's only for grown-ups. It can make you sick and sleepy. Go back and get something else," the cashier said. + +Anna and Ben felt sad and angry. They wanted to make mom happy. They didn't understand why they couldn't buy wine. They left the store without the bread and the milk. They ran back home with the money. + +Mom was waiting for them. She saw them and smiled. + +"Did you get the bread and the milk?" mom asked. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and started to cry. + +"No, mom, we didn't. We wanted to buy you wine, but the cashier said no. He said it's not for children. He said it's only for grown-ups. He said it can make you sick and sleepy. He was mean to us. He took the wine away. We're sorry, mom," Anna and Ben said. + +Mom was shocked and angry. She took the money from them and scolded them. + +"What were you thinking, Anna and Ben? You can't buy wine. It's not for you. It's not for me. It's not delicious. It's bad. You wasted your time and money. You disobeyed me. You forgot the bread and the milk. You are in big trouble. Go to your room and think about what you did," mom said. + +Anna and Ben felt ashamed and scared. They went to their room and cried. They wished they had listened to mom.

It ran towards the tower and barked. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. + +"Leave our tower alone!" Lily cried. + +But the dog did not listen. It jumped on the tower and knocked it down. The blocks fell everywhere. Some of them hit Tom and Lily. They hurt a lot. Tom and Lily started to cry. + +The dog was happy. It licked the blocks and wagged its tail.

Go play somewhere else." + +Lily felt hurt and confused. She did not understand why her dad did not want to see her yoga. She ran to her mom and cried. + +Mom hugged Lily and wiped her tears. She said, "Lily, I'm sorry your dad was not nice to you. He is very stressed and busy. He loves you, but he does not have time to watch you right now. Maybe later, he will have time to see your yoga.

They found a door that was open and went inside. They saw many rooms with beautiful things and bright colors. They felt excited and curious. + +They came to a room where there was a big bed with soft pillows and blankets. They thought it would be fun to jump on the bed and pretend to be the king and queen.

Lily and Tom felt scared and sorry. + +"We are sorry, we just wanted to see the castle," Lily said. + +"You have no right to be here, you are trespassers and thieves," the king said. "Guards, take them away and lock them up!" + +The guards came and grabbed Lily and Tom. They dragged them out of the room and down the stairs. They threw them into a dark and cold cell. They locked the door and left them alone. + +Lily and Tom cried and hugged each other. They wished they had never gone to the castle. They wondered if they would ever see their families and friends again. They realized they had made a big mistake. +Lila and her mom had to hurry. They had to catch a taxi to go to the airport. They had a big bag with their clothes and toys. They wanted to visit grandma and grandpa in another city. + +They ran to the street and looked for a yellow car. That was a taxi. They saw one, but it was very far. They waved their hands and shouted, "Taxi, taxi!" + +The taxi driver saw them and stopped. He opened the trunk and helped them put their bag inside. He was nice, but his car was filthy. It had dirt and trash everywhere. Lila did not like it. She wrinkled her nose and said, "Mom, this car is yucky. Can we find another taxi?" + +Her mom shook her head and said, "No, honey, we don't have time. We have to hurry. The plane will leave soon. Don't worry, we will only be in the car for a little while. Then we will be at the airport and we will fly to grandma and grandpa. They have a clean and cozy house. You will like it there." + +Lila nodded and tried to smile.

Then they went back inside and had a nap. They dreamed of the boat and the lake. They were very happy. They loved vacation. +Lily did not like haircuts. She thought they were scary and loud. She did not want to go to the salon with her mom. She wanted to stay home and play with her dolls. + +But mom said they had to go. She said Lily's hair was too long and messy. She said Lily would look pretty and neat with a haircut. She said it would not hurt at all. + +Lily was not convinced. She held mom's hand tightly as they walked to the salon. She saw a large sign with scissors and a comb. She saw people sitting in chairs with capes and clips. She heard the snip-snip of the scissors and the buzz of the dryer. She felt nervous and shy. + +Mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It will be over soon. You can choose a sticker when you are done." She led Lily to a chair and put a cape around her. She told the lady with the scissors, "Just a trim, please. She has beautiful hair." + +The lady with the scissors was nice. She said, "Hello, Lily. I'm Anna. I'm going to give you a haircut. You can tell me if you want it shorter or longer, okay?" She picked up a comb and a spray bottle. She wet Lily's hair and combed it gently. + +Lily felt the comb and the spray on her hair. She did not like it. She wanted to say no. But she was too scared to speak. She closed her eyes and hoped it would be over soon. + +Anna whispered, "You're doing great, Lily. You're very brave. I'm almost done. Do you want a bow or a clip for your hair?" She snipped the last bit of hair and put down the scissors. She held a mirror for Lily to see. + +Lily opened her eyes and looked at the mirror. She saw her hair was shorter and neater. She saw it was still brown and curly. She saw it was still her hair. She felt surprised and happy. She smiled and said, "I like it. Thank you, Anna. Can I have a bow, please?" + +Anna smiled and said, "Of course, you can. You're very welcome, Lily. You look lovely with your haircut." She put a pink bow on Lily's hair and took off the cape. She gave Lily a sticker and a lollipop. + +Lily jumped off the chair and hugged mom.

She said, "Mom, can we come back again?" + +Mom laughed and said, "Sure, Lily. We can come back again. But not too soon. We have to let your hair grow a little bit first." She held Lily's hand and they went home. +Lily was a dancer. She liked to dance all day. She danced at home, at school, and at the park. She danced with her friends, her toys, and her dog. She danced when she was happy, sad, or bored. She danced so much that she forgot to do other things. + +One day, Lily's mom asked her to help load the car. They were going to visit grandma. Lily said, "No, mom, I want to dance." She danced in the living room. She danced in the kitchen. She danced in the hallway. She did not help load the car. + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, you need to help me. We have a lot of things to load. If you don't help, we will be late." Lily said, "No, mom, I want to dance." She danced in the bathroom. She danced in the bedroom. She danced in the closet. She did not help load the car. + +Mom was very angry. She said, "Lily, you are being selfish. You only think about yourself. You don't care about me or grandma. You don't listen to me. You don't respect me. You don't love me." Lily stopped dancing. She felt bad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I do love you. I do care about you and grandma. I do respect you. I do listen to you. I will help you load the car." + +Lily and mom hugged. They said, "I love you." They worked together to load the car. They finished quickly. They got in the car and drove to grandma's house. Grandma was happy to see them. She said, "You are such good helpers. You are such good listeners. You are such good dancers." She gave them cookies and milk. They had a nice time. + +Lily learned a lesson. She learned that dancing is fun, but not the only thing. She learned that helping is important, too. She learned that listening is respectful, too. She learned that loving is caring, too. She learned to be a good dancer and a good person. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play on the sand near the sea. The sea is big and blue and makes noise. Sometimes the sea is calm and sometimes the sea is angry. + +One day, Tom and Mia find a green shell on the sand. It is shiny and pretty. They want to see what is inside. They open the shell carefully. They see a small crab. The crab has claws and eyes and legs. + +"Hello, crab!" Tom says. "Do you want to be our friend?" + +The crab does not say anything. It pinches Tom's finger with its claw. Tom says "Ow!" and drops the shell. The crab runs away. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Mia asks. She is worried. + +"Yes, I am okay. But the crab scared me. It was mean and rude." Tom says. He rubs his finger. + +"I am sorry, Tom. The crab was scared too. It did not want to leave its home. It did not know we wanted to be nice." Mia says. She hugs Tom. + +Tom and Mia decide to leave the green shell alone. They look for other things to play with. They find a starfish, a feather, and a ball. They have fun on the sand near the sea. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb.

They ran to mom and held her hand. They walked to the car. + +On the way, mom saw a man sitting on a bench. He looked sad. He had no coat, no hat, no shoes. He had a sign that said, "Please help me."

I am cold and hungry and scared." + +Mom felt sorry for the man. She said, "I have some money in my wallet. I can give you some. Maybe you can buy some food and a coat." She opened her purse and looked for her wallet. + +But her wallet was not there. She said, "Oh no, where is my wallet? I must have dropped it somewhere. Maybe in the park. Maybe on the slide. Maybe on the swing. I have to find it." + +Tom and Lily said, "Don't worry, mom. We can help you. We can go back to the park and look for your wallet. We can turn over the leaves, the rocks, the sand. We can ask the birds, the flowers, the dogs, the people. We can find your wallet." + +Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, kids. You are very kind and helpful. Let's go back to the park and look for my wallet. Maybe we can also help the man. He needs our help too." + +They turned around and walked back to the park. They looked for mom's wallet. They hoped to find it soon. They wanted to help mom and the man. They were good kids. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to do many things together. They like to play with their toys, read books, and draw pictures. But today, they are not happy. They are restless. + +"Why are we not going to the park?" Tom asks Mom. + +"Because it is raining, Tom. We cannot play outside when it is raining. We will get wet and cold." Mom says. + +"Can we watch TV then?" Lily asks Dad. + +"No, Lily. We have watched enough TV today. We need to do something else." Dad says. + +"What can we do then?" Tom and Lily say together. + +Mom and Dad look at each other. They have an idea. + +"How about we go to a restaurant?" Mom says. + +"A restaurant? What is that?" Tom asks. + +"A restaurant is a place where you can eat different foods. You can choose what you want to eat from a menu. And you can see other people eating too." Dad says. + +"That sounds fun!" Lily says. + +"Can we go now?" Tom says. + +"Sure, let's go now. But you have to be good and quiet at the restaurant. And you have to say please and thank you to the people who work there." Mom says. + +"OK, we will be good and quiet. And we will say please and thank you." Tom and Lily say. + +They put on their coats and shoes and go to the car. They are excited to go to the restaurant. They hope they will find something yummy to eat. They are not restless anymore. +Lily was very happy today. She was going to see her grandma and grandpa. They lived far away, so she did not see them often. She packed her bag with her favorite toys and clothes. She also had a gift for them. It was a drawing she made with crayons. She drew a big heart and wrote "I love you" with her mom's help. + +Lily and her mom got in the car and drove for a long time. Lily looked out the window and saw many things.

Sometimes they put butter or jam on their toast, and sometimes they ate it plain. + +One morning, Tim wanted to make his own toast. He saw a knife on the counter and thought it would be fun to cut the bread. He did not know that the knife was sharp and could hurt him.

He saw Tim holding his finger and blood on the counter. He was scared and worried. He said, "Tim, what did you do? Why did you use the knife? It is sharp and dangerous. You should not play with it. You should ask Mom or Dad for help." + +Tim felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I wanted to make toast by myself. I did not know the knife was sharp. It hurts a lot. I am sorry, Sam. I was silly and careless." + +Sam hugged his brother and said, "It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. But you should be more careful next time. Knives are not toys. They are tools for grown-ups. Come on, let's go to Mom and Dad. They will clean your wound and put a band-aid on it. Then we can have some toast together. But not the one you cut. It is tough and hard. We can have some fresh and soft bread instead." + +Tim nodded and said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good brother. I love you." + +They went to their parents and told them what happened. Their parents were glad that Tim was not badly hurt, but they also taught him a lesson. They said, "Tim, you should never touch a knife without permission. It is sharp and can cut you. You should always ask for help when you want to make toast or anything else. We are here to help you and keep you safe. We love you, but we also want you to be responsible and smart." + +Tim learned his lesson and never played with knives again. He also thanked Sam for being kind and helpful.

He picked a red one and gave it to Lily. She smiled and put it in her hair. + +They took some more flowers and made a bouquet. They wanted to give it to their mom. They thought she would be happy. + +But then a man came running. He looked angry and scared. He had a hat and a coat. He grabbed the sack and shouted at them. + +"Hey, you little thieves! How dare you touch my flowers? These are expensive flowers. I stole them from the shop. Now give them back or I'll call the police!" + +Lily and Ben were shocked and scared. They dropped the flowers and ran away. They did not want to talk to the man or the police. They did not know he was a bad man.

They cry and scream. + +"Help! Help!" they say. + +But no one hears them. No one sees them. They sink in the water. They cannot breathe. They are gone. +Sara and Tom were playing in the barn. They liked to pretend they were farmers and take care of the animals. They had a cow, a horse, a pig and a chicken. They gave them hay, water and corn. + +But one day, they saw a terrible thing. The roof of the barn had a big hole. The rain and the wind could come in and make the animals wet and cold. Sara and Tom were very sad and scared. + +They ran to their dad and told him what they saw. "Dad, dad, the barn has a big hole! The animals are in trouble! Can you fix it, please?" they said. + +Dad looked at the barn and nodded. "Don't worry, kids. I can fix it. But I need your help. Can you bring me some tools and some wood?" he said. + +Sara and Tom nodded and ran to the shed. They found a hammer, a saw, some nails and some wood.

They are so happy!" + +"Yes, they are, Sara. They like to show off their skills and have fun," mom says, smiling. "Do you know how much they weigh?" + +Sara shakes her head. She does not know what weigh means. Ben tries to guess. + +"Maybe they weigh as much as a car? Or a bus?" he says. + +Mom laughs. "No, Ben, not that much. They weigh about as much as a big cow. Or ten of you!" + +Sara and Ben gasp. They cannot believe the dolphins are so heavy. They wonder how they can move so fast and gracefully in the water. + +"Can we talk to them, mom?" Sara asks. "Can they understand us?" + +Mom nods. "They can make different sounds and communicate with each other. And they can also understand some words and gestures from humans. Watch this." + +Mom waves her hand at the tank and makes a whistling sound. One of the dolphins swims closer and looks at her. Mom points at her nose and then at the dolphin's nose. The dolphin nods and touches its nose with its flipper. Sara and Ben clap and cheer. + +"Wow, mom, you are so smart! You can talk to the dolphins!" Ben says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. "Thank you, Ben. But the dolphins are smarter. They can talk to each other and to us. And they are very playful and friendly. They are amazing animals, don't you think?" + +Sara and Ben nod.

She follows Tim. + +They get to the boat. They see a boy. The boy is in their boat. He has a fishing rod. He is using their worms. + +"Hey, that's our boat and our worms!" Tim shouts. He is angry. + +The boy looks at them. He is scared. He says, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to fish. I didn't have any worms. I saw your jar and I took some. Please don't be mad." + +Tim and Lily look at each other. They are still angry, but they are also honest. They know how it feels to want to fish. + +"It's OK," Lily says. "You can use some of our worms. But you have to share the boat with us. And you have to ask before you take something. That's not nice." + +The boy nods. He says, "Thank you. You are very kind. I'm sorry I was not nice. Can I be your friend?" + +Tim and Lily smile. They say, "Sure. You can be our friend. What's your name?" + +The boy says, "My name is Ben." + +Tim, Lily and Ben fish together. They have fun. They catch some fish. They share their supply of worms. They are happy. They are honest.

I will try to be a good girl. Can I have my microphone back?" Her mom said, "Not now, Mia. Maybe later, if you show me that you can be a good girl. Now, come to dinner. And wash your hands first." + +Mia was sad and sorry. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had washed her hands. She wished she had been nice to others. She wished she had not lost her microphone. She learned that being rude and spoiled was not fun. She learned that being good and kind was better. She learned that she had to work hard to get her microphone back. She learned that she loved her mom more than her microphone. She learned a lot that day. +Jill and Jack are twins. They like to play with their toys and share their snacks. But they do not like the same jelly. Jill likes red jelly and Jack likes green jelly. + +One day, Mom makes jelly for them. She puts red jelly in one bowl and green jelly in another bowl. She calls them to come and eat. + +"Jill and Jack, come and eat your jelly!" Mom says. + +Jill and Jack run to the kitchen. They see the bowls of jelly. Jill grabs the bowl of red jelly and Jack grabs the bowl of green jelly. + +But then they stop. They look at each other's bowls. They want to try the other jelly. + +"Can I have some of your green jelly?" Jill asks Jack. + +"No, this is my green jelly. You have your red jelly." Jack says. + +"But I want to taste your green jelly. It looks unique." Jill says. + +"No, you can't. Go away." Jack says. + +Jill and Jack start to fight. They pull and push each other. They spill the jelly on the floor. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"Jill and Jack, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over the jelly?" Mom asks. + +"Sorry, Mom. We wanted to try the other jelly." Jill and Jack say. + +Mom sighs. She cleans the floor. She makes more jelly. She puts some red jelly and some green jelly in each bowl. She gives them to Jill and Jack. + +"Here, now you can have both jellies. But you have to share and be nice to each other. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom. We understand. Thank you, Mom." Jill and Jack say. + +They hug Mom. They hug each other. They eat their jellies. They like both jellies. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with many pictures and words. They open the book and see a page with a star and a wand. + +"Look, Anna, this is a spell book!" Ben says. "Maybe we can do magic with it!" + +Anna is curious. She points to a word under the star. "What does this word say, Ben?" + +Ben tries to read the word. He sounds out the letters. "A-b-r-a...abra...c-a-d-a...cada...bra! Abracadabra!" + +As soon as he says the word, something happens. The book glows and makes a loud noise. The toys and books fly around the room. Anna and Ben are scared. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Anna cries. "We don't want magic! We want our toys and books back!" + +Ben does not know what to do. He looks at the book and sees another word. He hopes it will make the magic stop. He says the word. "H-o-c-u-s...hocus...p-o-c-u-s...pocus! Hocus pocus!" + +But nothing happens. The magic does not stop. The toys and books keep flying around. Anna and Ben are very upset. They hug each other and cry. + +"Help, help, help!" they shout. "We are sorry! We don't want to do spells!" + +Then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She comes into the room and sees the mess. She is surprised and angry. + +"What is going on here?" she asks. "What did you do?" + +Anna and Ben tell Mom what happened. They show her the spell book. They say they are sorry. They ask her to make the magic stop. + +Mom looks at the book and shakes her head. She smiles and says, "Don't worry, my little ones. This is not a real spell book. It is a toy book. It has a button that makes the book glow and the toys and books fly. See?" + +She shows them the button and presses it. The book stops glowing and the toys and books fall to the ground. Anna and Ben are relieved and happy. + +"Wow, Mom, you are so smart!" Ben says. "You know how to stop the magic!" + +Mom hugs them and says, "It is not magic, my sweeties. It is just a trick. But it is not a nice trick to play on your friends. You should be careful with what you read and say. Words are powerful. They can make people happy or upset. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry. We won't do spells again. We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. Now, let's clean up this mess and have some cookies." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big rainbow in the sky. It has many colors. Tom and Mia want to touch the rainbow. + +"Let's go to the rainbow!" Tom says. He runs to the hill. Mia follows him. + +They climb the hill. They see the rainbow is far away. They cannot reach it. + +"I have an idea!" Mia says. She takes out a smooth stone from her pocket. "We can throw the stone at the rainbow. Maybe it will fall down." + +She offers the stone to Tom. Tom shakes his head. + +"No, no, no!" Tom says. "That is not a good idea. The rainbow is not a thing. It is light. You cannot catch light. You will only hurt the stone." + +Mia is sad. She likes her stone. She does not want to hurt it. But she also wants to touch the rainbow. + +"Then how can we touch the rainbow?" Mia asks. + +Tom thinks. He does not know. He looks at the sky. He sees the sun is moving. The rainbow is fading. + +"Maybe we cannot touch the rainbow," Tom says. "Maybe we can only look at it. And enjoy it. And remember it." + +Mia nods. She puts the stone back in her pocket. She holds Tom's hand. They sit on the hill. They look at the rainbow. They smile. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a carrot nose and a hat. They gave him a name: Mr. Potato. + +"Hello, Mr. Potato!" Anna said. "Do you like the snow?" + +"Yes, I do!" Ben said in a funny voice, pretending to be Mr. Potato. "But I am very cold. Can you give me a hug?" + +Anna and Ben hugged Mr. Potato. They felt his snow body was hard and cold. They laughed and said he was a good snowman. + +But then the sun came out. It was very bright and warm. The snow started to melt. Anna and Ben saw Mr. Potato's nose fall off. His hat slid down. His eyes and mouth became smaller. + +"Oh no!" Anna said. "Mr. Potato is melting! He is fragile!" + +"We have to save him!" Ben said. "Let's freeze him again!" + +They ran to the house and got a big bowl. They filled it with ice cubes. They ran back to Mr. Potato and put the ice cubes on him. They hoped he would stay frozen. + +But it was too late. Mr. Potato was too small and wet. He turned into a puddle of water. Anna and Ben felt sad. They said goodbye to Mr. Potato. + +"Maybe we can make another snowman tomorrow," Anna said. + +"Maybe," Ben said. "But he won't be the same as Mr. Potato. He was the best snowman ever." +Lila was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with. She only had her doll, Anna, and her yarn. She liked to make clothes for Anna with the yarn. She used a big needle and a scissors. She was very careful not to hurt herself. + +One day, she saw a boy outside her window. He was playing with a ball. He looked happy and fun. Lila wanted to play with him, but she was shy. She did not know how to talk to him. She watched him for a long time. + +The boy saw Lila too. He smiled and waved at her. He threw his ball to her window. Lila caught it and looked at it. It was red and soft. She liked it. She smiled and waved back. She threw the ball to him. + +The boy ran to get the ball. He came closer to her window. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" Lila said, "I'm Lila. This is Anna." She showed him her doll. Ben said, "She's pretty. Did you make her clothes?" Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, I used yarn. Do you want to see?" Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, please. Can I come in?" Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, you can. Come on." + +Lila opened the window and helped Ben climb in. He looked around her room. He saw her yarn and her needle and her scissors. He said, "Wow, you have a lot of yarn. Can you teach me how to make clothes?" Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, I can. It's easy and fun." She gave him some yarn and a needle. She showed him how to make stitches and knots. Ben tried to follow her. He made a hat for his ball. He said, "Look, I made a hat. It's silly." Lila laughed. She said, "It's cute. I like it." She made a scarf for Anna. She said, "Look, I made a scarf. It's warm." Ben smiled. He said, "It's nice. I like it." + +They played with the yarn and the ball and the doll for a long time. They talked and laughed and shared. They became friends. Lila was not lonely anymore. She was happy. Ben was happy too. He said, "You're a good friend, Lila. Can I come again?" Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, you can. Anytime. You're a good friend too, Ben." They hugged and said goodbye. They looked forward to seeing each other again. +Lila was a very intelligent girl who loved to learn new things. She liked to read books, play games, and ask questions. One day, her dad said they were going to visit a port, where big boats came and went. Lila was very excited and wanted to see the boats. + +They drove to the port and parked the car. Lila saw many big boats with different colors and shapes. Some had big boxes on them, some had people on them, and some had flags on them. She asked her dad what the boats were doing. He said some boats were bringing things from far away, some boats were taking people to other places, and some boats were saying hello to other boats. + +Lila wanted to go on a boat and see what it was like. She saw a boat that looked like a big duck. It had a yellow body, a long neck, and a big mouth. She asked her dad if they could go on the duck boat. He said yes, but they had to buy tickets first. They went to a small house where a man was selling tickets. He said the duck boat was a special boat that could go on water and on land. He said it was a fun ride and they would see many things. + +Lila and her dad bought two tickets and went to the duck boat. They saw other people waiting to go on the boat too. They all had to wear orange vests that made them float. Lila thought they looked funny, but she accepted the vest and put it on. She and her dad found a seat on the boat and waited for the ride to start. + +The duck boat started to move and made a loud quack. Lila laughed and clapped her hands. The boat went out of the port and into the water. Lila saw other boats, birds, and fish. She also saw a big bridge, a tall tower, and a shiny statue. The boat made a turn and went back to the port. Then it went out of the water and onto the land. Lila saw cars, buses, and bikes. She also saw shops, parks, and people. The boat made another turn and went back to the port. It made another loud quack and stopped. + +Lila and her dad got off the boat and thanked the man who drove it. They said goodbye to the other people who were on the boat too. Lila said she had a lot of fun and learned a lot of things. She said she liked the duck boat and wanted to go on it again. Her dad said he was proud of her and hugged her. He said they could go on the duck boat again another day. They got in the car and drove home. Lila smiled and said it was a good day. +Tim and Sam were two boys who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big cage with a bird inside. The bird was very pretty, with many colors on its feathers. Tim and Sam wanted to see the bird closer, so they went near the cage. + +"Hello, bird," Tim said. "Do you like your cage?" + +The bird did not answer. It looked sad and scared. + +"Let's open the cage and let the bird out," Sam said. "Maybe it wants to fly and be free." + +But Tim shook his head. "No, Sam. The cage belongs to someone else. Maybe someone rich who paid a lot of money for the bird. If we open the cage, they will be angry and we will be in trouble." + +Sam did not listen to Tim. He reached for the cage and tried to open it. The bird saw Sam and got very angry. It flapped its wings and pecked at Sam's hand. + +"Ow!" Sam cried. "The bird bit me!" + +Tim saw what happened and slapped Sam's hand away from the cage. "I told you, Sam. Leave the bird alone. It does not want to be bothered. It is not ours to touch." + +Sam rubbed his hand and felt sorry. He realized that Tim was right. He said sorry to Tim and to the bird. He learned that he should not take or touch things that belong to someone else. He also learned that some animals are happier in the wild than in a cage. He and Tim left the park and went home. They decided to play with their own toys instead. +Anna likes to jog with her dad. They jog in the park, where they see birds, flowers and other people. Anna likes to jog fast, but sometimes she trips and falls. Then her knee hurts and she cries. + +One day, Anna and her dad jogged to a big store. They saw many things in the store, like toys, clothes and books. Anna wanted to buy a doll that had long hair and a pink dress. She asked her dad, "Can I have this doll, please?" + +Her dad looked at the doll and saw a tag. The tag had a number on it. The number was very big. Her dad said, "No, Anna, this doll is too expensive. We can't buy it. Let's find something else." + +Anna was sad. She really liked the doll. She did not want to jog anymore. She sat on the floor and pouted. Her dad tried to cheer her up. He said, "Look, Anna, there is a ball. The ball is not expensive. You can play with it in the park. Do you want the ball?" + +Anna looked at the ball. The ball was red and bouncy. She thought it looked fun. She nodded and smiled. Her dad bought the ball and they jogged back to the park. Anna forgot about the doll. She played with the ball and her dad. She was happy. Her knee did not hurt anymore. +Tom was a clever boy who liked to repair things. He had many tools and toys in his room. One day, he found a horn in the garage. It was big and shiny, but it did not make any sound. Tom wanted to make it work. + +He took the horn to his room and looked for the problem. He saw a hole in the horn. He thought he could fix it with some tape. He got some tape and covered the hole. Then he tried to blow the horn. But it still did not make any sound. + +He was sad and confused. He asked his mom for help. His mom came to his room and saw the horn. She smiled and said, "Tom, you are very clever, but you need to learn something. This horn is not a toy. It is a part of a car. It needs electricity to make sound. You cannot repair it with tape. You need to connect it to a battery." + +Tom was surprised and curious. He asked his mom to show him how. His mom took him to the garage and showed him the car. She explained how the horn worked and how to connect it to the battery. Tom listened and learned. He was happy and thanked his mom. + +He learned that some things are not toys and need special care. He also learned that he could ask for help when he did not know something. He was a clever boy who liked to repair things, but he was also a good boy who liked to learn new things. +Lila and Ben were playing in their room with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals or cars or superheroes. They did not want to disturb Mom and Dad, who were working in the other room. + +But then they heard a loud bang outside. It sounded like thunder, but it was not raining. They ran to the window and saw a big truck with a red light and a siren. It stopped in front of their house and some men in yellow clothes got out. They had hoses and axes and helmets. + +"What are they doing?" Lila asked, feeling fearful. + +"I don't know," Ben said, holding her hand. "Maybe there is a fire somewhere." + +They watched as the men ran to their neighbor's house, which had smoke coming out of the roof. They saw flames and heard more bangs and cracks. They felt the cold air coming in from the window. + +"Mom! Dad!" Lila shouted, hoping they would hear her. + +Mom and Dad came to their room and saw the truck and the fire. They hugged Lila and Ben and told them not to worry. + +"It's okay, sweeties," Mom said. "The firemen are here to help. They will put out the fire and make sure everyone is safe." + +"Can we help them?" Ben asked. + +"No, honey," Dad said. "We have to stay inside and let them do their job. They are very brave and skilled. They don't need us to disturb them." + +Lila and Ben nodded and watched as the firemen worked hard to stop the fire. They felt less fearful and more curious. They asked Mom and Dad many questions about the truck and the hoses and the axes. They learned new words and facts. They thanked the firemen when they left and waved to their neighbor, who was okay. They were glad that no one was hurt and that their house was not on fire. They went back to their room and played with their toys, feeling happy and safe. +Tom and Sue were two kids who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big rocket in the park. It was shiny and red. They wanted to see it up close. + +They ran to the rocket and saw a door. The door was open. They went inside. They saw many buttons and lights. They wanted to touch them. They did not know what they did. + +One button made the rocket start. It made a loud noise. The rocket flew up in the sky. Tom and Sue were scared. They wanted to go back to the park. They wanted to see their mom and dad. But they could not. The rocket went too fast. + +The rocket went to space. It went to a planet. The planet was dark and cold. It had no trees or flowers. It had only rocks and dust. The rocket landed on the planet. The door opened. Tom and Sue got out. They hoped to find someone who could help them. But they did not. They only saw strange creatures. The creatures had big eyes and teeth. They looked hungry. They saw Tom and Sue. They ran to them. Tom and Sue were fearful. They screamed. The end. +Tom is a cat. He likes to play with his toys and nap in the sun. But one day, he feels sick. He does not want to eat or play. He only wants to sleep. + +His owner, Lisa, is worried. She takes him to the veterinarian. The veterinarian is a nice person who helps animals. She looks at Tom and says he has a cold. She gives him some medicine and a bandage. + +Tom does not like the medicine or the bandage. He tries to spit out the medicine and scratch off the bandage. He is scared and angry. He hisses and bites. + +Lisa says sorry to the veterinarian. She offers her a cookie. The veterinarian smiles and says thank you. She offers Tom a treat. Tom sniffs the treat and decides to try it. It is tasty and crunchy. He feels a little better. + +The veterinarian tells Lisa to take Tom home and keep him warm and cozy. She says he will be fine in a few days.

He is glad he has both. +Lily and Ben were eager to play outside. They liked to run, jump and climb. They saw a big house with a red roof. They wondered what was on the roof. + +"Let's go and see!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran to the house and found a ladder. They climbed the ladder carefully. They reached the roof. They saw many things on the roof. They saw a ball, a kite, a hat and a bird. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "Look at all these things!" + +"Look at the bird!" Ben said. "It is so pretty!" + +They decided to play with the things on the roof. They threw the ball, flew the kite, wore the hat and talked to the bird. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey! What are you doing on my roof?" The voice said. It was the owner of the house. He was angry. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the things and ran to the ladder. They climbed down quickly. They said sorry to the owner and ran away. + +They learned a lesson. They should not go on other people's roofs. They should ask for permission first. They decided to play in the park instead. They were still eager to play, but they were more careful. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Sara wants to try it. She thinks it looks fun. Ben is nervous. He thinks it looks too high. + +Sara runs to the slide. She climbs the steps. She sits on the top. She smiles at Ben. She says, "Come on, Ben. It is fun. Don't be scared." Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, Sara. It is too high. I don't want to go." + +Sara slides down. She laughs. She says, "That was fun. I want to do it again." She runs to the steps. Ben watches her. He feels sad. He wants to have fun with Sara. But he is too nervous to try the slide. + +Sara slides down again. She sees Ben. She says, "Ben, why don't you try it? It is not scary. It is fun. I will help you." Ben looks at Sara. He sees that she is happy. He wants to be happy too. He says, "OK, Sara. I will try it. But you have to hold my hand." + +Sara and Ben climb the steps. They sit on the top. They hold hands. Sara says, "Ready, Ben?" Ben says, "Ready, Sara." They slide down together. They laugh. They say, "That was fun. Let's do it again." They run to the steps. They are not nervous anymore. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play in their room after dinner. Sometimes they pretended to be pirates, or astronauts, or detectives. But their favorite game was to explore the dark closet with a flashlight. + +One night, they asked their mom if they could play in the closet. Mom said yes, but only for a little while. She gave them a flashlight and told them to be careful and quiet. Tom and Lily were very enthusiastic. They thanked mom and ran to their room. + +They closed the door and turned off the light. The room was very dark, but they could see the closet. They opened the closet door and crawled inside. They turned on the flashlight and looked around. They saw clothes, shoes, toys, and books. They also saw some things they did not know, like a hat with feathers, a box with wires, and a bottle with glitter. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said, holding the hat. "It looks like a pirate hat!" + +"Let me see!" Lily said, grabbing the hat. "No, it looks like a cowboy hat!" + +They started to argue about the hat. They did not hear mom knocking on the door. + +"Tom, Lily, time to come out!" mom said. "It's almost bedtime!" + +Tom and Lily did not want to stop playing. They ignored mom and kept arguing. + +"Give me the hat!" Tom said, pulling the hat. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said, pulling back. + +They pulled so hard that the hat ripped. They also dropped the flashlight. It rolled under a pile of clothes and turned off. The closet was very dark. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They could not see anything. They could not find the flashlight. They could not find the closet door. They started to cry. + +"Mom, help!" they shouted. + +Mom heard them and opened the door. She turned on the light and saw them in the closet. She saw the ripped hat and the flashlight. She was not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you not listen to me?" + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They apologized to mom and to each other. They hugged mom and said they loved her. + +Mom forgave them and hugged them back. She said she loved them too. She told them to put the hat and the flashlight back where they found them. She told them to brush their teeth and get ready for bed. She said they could play in the closet again, but only if they were nice and respectful. + +Tom and Lily agreed. They did what mom said. They went to bed and dreamed of new adventures. They learned to be more careful and cooperative. They also learned to appreciate what they had. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sandbox. They had many toys to share, like shovels, buckets, and cars. But they only had one pipe. A pipe is a long thing with a hole in it. You can blow air through it or put water in it. + +Lily wanted to build a castle with the pipe. She said, "I need the pipe to make a tower. It will be a big and pretty castle." She took the pipe from Ben. + +Ben wanted to build a tunnel with the pipe. He said, "No, I need the pipe to make a hole. It will be a long and fun tunnel." He tried to take the pipe back from Lily. + +They both pulled the pipe and shouted, "Mine! Mine!" They were very selfish. They did not want to share the pipe. + +Then, the pipe broke in half. It made a loud snap. Lily and Ben stopped pulling and looked at the pipe. It was not a long thing anymore. It was two short things. They both felt sad and sorry. + +They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry. I was selfish. Can we be friends again?" They nodded and hugged. They decided to share the pipe and play together. They used one half of the pipe to make a tower and the other half to make a hole. They had more fun than before. They learned to be kind and not selfish. +Lily liked to learn about history. She liked to look at pictures of old things and people. She had a big book of history that her grandma gave her. She wanted to read it with her mom. + +But mom was busy. She had to cook and clean and work on her computer. She did not have time to read with Lily. Lily was sad. She asked mom, "Please, can we read history book?" + +Mom said, "Not now, Lily. I am busy. Maybe later." + +Lily waited and waited. She played with her toys and her cat. She watched some cartoons. She drew some pictures. But she still wanted to read history book. + +She asked mom again, "Please, can we read history book now?" + +Mom looked at Lily. She saw her big eyes and her hopeful smile. She felt sorry.

If you catch it, it will be sad and scared." + +But Ben did not listen to Sara. He chased the butterfly until he caught it in his net. He was very proud of himself. + +"Ha, I got it!" Ben said. He showed the butterfly to Sara. + +Sara looked at the butterfly. It was not moving. Its wings were torn and broken. It looked very sad. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Sara said. "You hurt the insect! It is not fancy and pretty anymore. It is dying!" + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt the insect. He wanted to see it up close. He did not think about how the insect felt. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I'm sorry, insect." Ben said. He opened his net and let the insect go. But it was too late. The insect fell to the ground and did not fly again. + +Sara and Ben learned a lesson. They learned that insects are living things that have feelings. They learned that they should not catch them or hurt them. They learned that they should let them be free and happy. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they see a big box in the park. The box has a picture of a train on it. Ben and Sam want to see the train. + +"Let's take the box and open it," Ben says. "Maybe we can play with the train." + +"OK," Sam says. "But we have to be quick. Maybe the box belongs to someone else." + +They take the box and run to a corner of the park. They open the box and see a shiny red train. It has wheels and a whistle and a smokestack. Ben and Sam are very happy. + +"Wow, this is the best train ever!" Ben says. "Can I play with it first?" + +"No, I want to play with it first," Sam says. "I saw it first." + +They start to fight over the train. They pull and tug and shout. They do not share. They do not listen. They are not helpful. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud voice. It is a man. He is angry. He is the owner of the box and the train. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my box and my train?" he says. "That is not yours. That is mine. Give it back to me right now!" + +He comes over and grabs the box and the train. He puts them in his car and drives away. Ben and Sam are left with nothing. They are sad and sorry. They wish they had been nicer and smarter. They wish they had not taken the box and opened it. They wish they had been helpful. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a pretty dress. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make her look nice. + +One day, Lily saw a shiny thing on the floor. It was a needle. Lily did not know what a needle was, but she thought it was pretty. She wanted to put it in Anna's hair. She lifted the needle and walked to her doll. + +But the needle was sharp. It hurt Lily's finger. Lily cried out loud. She dropped the needle and ran to her mom. Her mom saw the blood on Lily's finger. She was angry and scared. + +She took Lily to the bathroom and washed her finger. She put a band-aid on it. She told Lily that needles are not for playing. They are for sewing. They can make big ouchies. She told Lily to be careful and never touch needles again. + +Lily felt sorry and sad. She hugged her mom and said sorry. She did not want to play with needles anymore. She wanted to play with Anna. She hoped Anna was not mad at her. She went back to her room and looked for her doll. + +But Anna was not there. Lily saw the needle on the floor. It was near Anna's dress. Lily gasped. She saw a big hole in Anna's dress. The needle had made it. Lily felt worse. She had hurt her doll. + +She picked up Anna and the needle. She ran to her mom again. She showed her what she had done. She asked her mom to fix Anna's dress. She said she loved Anna and did not mean to hurt her. + +Her mom saw the hole in Anna's dress. She was not angry anymore. She was kind. She took Anna and the needle. She told Lily that she could fix Anna's dress. She told Lily that Anna still loved her.

They liked to play with toys, sing songs and read books. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was smooth and brown. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom said. He pulled the tape and lifted the lid. Inside, there were many old clothes, shoes and hats. They were colorful and soft. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Jill said. She picked up a red dress and a blue hat. "Let's play dress up!" + +They took out the clothes and shoes and tried them on. They laughed and pretended to be different people. They had a lot of fun. + +But soon, the box was empty. All the things were on the floor or on them. The garage was messy. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Tom said. He looked at the box and the floor. "We have to clean up!" + +"But I don't want to!" Jill said. She liked the dress and the hat. "Can we keep them?" + +"No, we can't!" Tom said. He was angry. "They are not ours! They belong to someone else! Maybe they are grandma's or grandpa's. They will be sad if they see this!" + +Jill felt bad. She did not want to make anyone sad. She took off the dress and the hat and put them back in the box. She helped Tom fill the box with the other things. They folded them neatly and closed the lid. They put the box back where they found it. + +They looked at the garage. It was clean and tidy. + +"Thank you, Jill," Tom said. He gave her a hug. "You are a good friend." + +"Thank you, Tom," Jill said. She hugged him back. "You are a good friend, too." + +They learned that they should not take things that are not theirs. They also learned that they should clean up after themselves. They were happy and proud. They went to play with their own toys. +Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big basket on a bench. It had a cloth on top. + +"Look, Mia, what is in there?" Leo asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe we can peek," Mia said. + +They ran to the bench and lifted the cloth. They saw many yummy muffins. They were brown and had chocolate chips on top. + +"Wow, muffins! Can we have one?" Leo said. + +"Shh, Leo, someone might hear us. Maybe they are for a party," Mia said. + +But Leo was too hungry. He reached for a muffin and took a big bite. Mia did the same. They smiled and ate the muffins. + +Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing? Those are my muffins!" + +They turned around and saw a man with a hat and a beard. He looked angry. + +"Uh-oh, we are in trouble," Mia said. + +"Sorry, mister, we were just hungry. We didn't know they were yours," Leo said. + +The man frowned and shook his head. + +"You are very nosy, kids. You shouldn't take things that are not yours. Those muffins are for my friends. We are having a picnic. Now you have to guess how many muffins you ate and pay me back." + +Mia and Leo felt bad. They looked at the basket and tried to guess. + +"I think I ate two muffins," Mia said. + +"I think I ate three muffins," Leo said. + +The man nodded and said, "That's right. You owe me five muffins. You can either give me five dollars or help me make more muffins." + +Mia and Leo looked at each other. They didn't have any money. They decided to help the man make more muffins. + +They followed him to his car and got in. He drove them to his house. He showed them how to mix the ingredients and bake the muffins. They had fun and learned a lot. + +The man was nice and gave them each a muffin to eat. He also drove them back to the park and gave them a hug. + +"Thank you, kids, for helping me. You are very sweet. Next time, ask before you take something, okay?" he said. + +"Okay, mister. Thank you for the muffins. They are very good. We are sorry for being nosy," Mia and Leo said. + +They ran back to their moms and told them what happened. Their moms were glad that they were safe and that they learned a lesson. They also gave them a hug and a kiss. + +The end. +Tom is a big dog. He likes to run and play and bark. He lives with a nice family. They give him food and water and hugs. But Tom wants to do more. He wants to have a job. + +One day, Tom sees a mailman. The mailman has a bag full of letters. He puts them in the boxes of the houses. Tom thinks, "That is a good job. I can do that. I can find the letters and put them in the boxes. Then the people will be happy and thank me." + +Tom runs after the mailman. He tries to take the letters from his bag. The mailman says, "No, no, no! Bad dog! Go away! These are not your letters. They are for the people. You are making a mess. Leave me alone!" + +Tom does not understand. He thinks the mailman is mean. He wants to help. He barks and jumps and pulls. The mailman gets angry and scared. He sprays Tom with water. Tom feels wet and cold and sad. He runs away. + +Tom finds a park. He sees a lot of children. They are playing and laughing and having fun. Tom thinks, "Maybe I can play with them. Maybe they will be my friends. Maybe they will give me a job." + +Tom runs to the children.

You are so soft and fluffy and cute!" + +Tom feels happy. He thinks he has found his job. He thinks he has found his friends. He wags his tail and smiles. He plays and plays and plays. He forgets about the mailman and the letters. He is a good dog. He has a good job. He has a good life. +Lily and Ben are twins who live on a farm with their mom and dad. They like to help with the animals and the plants, but sometimes they fight over who gets to do what. One day, they both wanted to feed the chickens, and they started to pull and push each other. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "Fighting is not nice, and it is not good for the farm. The chickens need to eat, and they get scared when you yell and shove. Why don't you take turns, or share the bucket?" + +"But I want to do it first!" Lily said. + +"No, I want to do it first!" Ben said. + +Their mom sighed and shook her head. She decided to teach them a lesson. She took the bucket away and said, "If you can't agree, then neither of you can feed the chickens. You can go to the barn and clean the stalls instead." + +Lily and Ben did not like that. They did not want to clean the stalls, they wanted to feed the chickens. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they had been selfish and mean. They said sorry to their mom and to each other. They asked if they could feed the chickens together. + +Their mom smiled and nodded. She gave them back the bucket and said, "That's better. I'm glad you learned to be kind and share. That's how you make the farm happy and healthy. And that's how you make yourselves happy and healthy, too." + +Lily and Ben hugged their mom and thanked her. They went to feed the chickens, and they took turns and helped each other. The chickens clucked and pecked happily. Lily and Ben felt happy, too. They decided not to fight anymore, but to work and play together on the farm. +Lily was a thin girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big sister, Anna, who was at school. Lily missed Anna a lot and wanted to talk to her. + +One day, Lily saw a telephone on the table. She thought it was a toy and picked it up. She pressed some buttons and heard a voice. She said, "Hello, is this Anna?" + +But the voice was not Anna. It was a man who sounded angry. He said, "Who is this? Stop calling me!" + +Lily was scared and confused. She did not know what to do. She dropped the phone and started to cry. She ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. + +Mom heard Lily cry and came to hug her. She asked her what happened. Lily told her about the phone and the man. Mom said, "Oh, Lily, that was not a toy. That was a real phone. You called a stranger by mistake. He did not know who you were and he was rude. I'm sorry, sweetie. It's okay. You did not do anything wrong." + +Mom picked up the phone and said sorry to the man. She explained that Lily was a little girl who wanted to talk to her sister. The man said sorry too and hung up. + +Mom gave Lily a kiss and a cookie. She said, "Why don't we call Anna together? She will be happy to hear from you. And next time, ask me before you use the phone, okay?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Okay, Mom. I love you. And I love Anna too." + +Mom and Lily called Anna and had a nice chat. Lily felt better and stopped crying. She learned a new lesson and had a new story to tell. +Ben and Lily were young. They liked to play in the park. They had a big ball and a small bike. + +One day, they saw a new slide in the park. It was very high and shiny. Ben wanted to try it. He said, "Lily, let's go on the slide. It looks fun." + +But Lily was scared. She said, "No, Ben. The slide is too high. I don't want to go. You go if you want." + +Ben said, "Don't be scared, Lily. It's not hard. You just sit and slide. Come on, I'll help you." + +He took Lily's hand and led her to the slide. Lily was shaking. She said, "Ben, I can't do it. I'm not ready yet. Maybe when I'm older." + +Ben said, "Lily, you can do it. You're brave. You can become a big girl. Trust me." + +He lifted Lily and put her on the slide. He said, "Ready, set, go!" + +Lily screamed. She slid down very fast. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She landed on the ground with a thud. + +She looked up and saw Ben smiling. He said, "See, Lily? That was fun. You did it. You're a big girl now." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "You're right, Ben. That was fun. I did it. I'm a big girl now." + +They hugged and laughed. They went on the slide again and again. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their navy toys. They had a big boat, a small plane, and some soldiers. They pretended to go on missions and rescue people. They had a lot of fun, but sometimes they fought over the toys. + +One day, they were playing in their room when Ben grabbed the plane from Lily. "It's my turn!" he said. "No, it's mine!" Lily said. They pulled and pushed until the plane broke in two. They both gasped and looked at the broken toy. They felt very sorry. + +They heard their mom coming up the stairs. They knew she would be angry if she saw the broken plane. They quickly hid it under the bed and pretended to sleep. They hoped she would not notice. + +Their mom opened the door and smiled. She saw them lying on their beds with their eyes closed. She thought they were very tired from playing. She tiptoed to their beds and kissed them gently. "Good night, my sweet navy twins," she whispered. "I love you very much." + +She turned off the light and left the room. Lily and Ben opened their eyes and looked at each other. They felt guilty and sad. They decided to tell their mom the truth in the morning and say they were sorry. They hugged each other and fell asleep. They dreamed of fixing the plane and playing together again. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play outside. One day, they find a big cave in the woods. They want to see what is inside. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go in!" Sam says. He is not afraid of anything. He is tough. + +"I don't know, Sam, it looks dark and scary," Ben says. He is afraid of the dark. He is not tough. + +"Don't be a baby, Ben, it will be fun!" Sam says. He grabs Ben's hand and pulls him into the cave. + +They walk in the cave for a while. It is very dark and cold. They hear strange noises. They see bats and spiders. Ben is very scared. He wants to go back. + +"Sam, I don't like this, can we go back?" Ben says. He rubs his eyes. He is crying. + +"OK, OK, don't cry, Ben, we will go back," Sam says. He is not so tough anymore. He is also scared. + +They turn around and run back to the entrance of the cave. They see the sun and the trees. They feel happy and safe. + +"Sam, I'm sorry, I'm not tough like you," Ben says. + +"It's OK, Ben, I'm sorry, I was too tough. Sometimes it's good to be afraid. It means you are careful," Sam says. + +They hug each other and go back home. They decide to play something else. They don't want to go back to the cave. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to try it, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. She encourages Ben to go with her. "I will go first, and then you can follow me." + +Anna climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She smiles and waves at Ben. Then she slides down very fast. She laughs and lands on the grass. + +"Wow, that was great!" Anna says. She looks at Ben, who is still on the ladder. He is holding his neck. He looks afraid. + +"I don't want to go, Anna. It is too high and too fast. I might fall and hurt myself." Ben says. He wants to go back down the ladder. + +"No, Ben, you can do it. It is not scary, it is fun. Trust me, you will like it." Anna says. She tries to make Ben feel better. She is light and happy. She wants Ben to be happy too. + +"Are you sure, Anna? What if I get stuck or slide off?" Ben says. He is not sure. He looks at the slide. It is long and shiny. + +"Ben, you will not get stuck or slide off. The slide is smooth and safe. You just have to sit and slide. I will catch you at the end. You will be fine." Anna says. She is confident and kind. She waits for Ben. + +Ben takes a deep breath. He decides to try the slide. He sits on the slide. He looks at Anna. She nods and smiles. + +"Okay, Anna, here I go." Ben says. He lets go of the ladder. He slides down very fast. He feels the wind and the sun. He is surprised and excited. + +"Yay, Ben, you did it!" Anna says. She catches Ben at the end. She hugs him and cheers. He hugs her back and laughs. + +"Wow, Anna, that was fun!" Ben says. He is proud and happy. He likes the slide. + +"I told you, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. She is happy and proud. She likes Ben. + +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to try new things. They encourage each other. They have fun. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a lamp. The lamp is clear and shiny. It makes light when it is dark. + +One day, Lily and Tom are playing with their blocks. They build a big tower. They are happy and proud. They want to show their mom and dad. They call them to come and see. + +Mom and dad come to the room. They see the tower. They say, "Wow, what a great tower! You are very clever, Lily and Tom!" + +Lily and Tom smile. They say, "Thank you, mom and dad! We worked hard. We want to keep the tower." + +Mom and dad say, "OK, you can keep the tower. But you have to pay us first." + +Lily and Tom are confused. They say, "Pay? What is pay?" + +Mom and dad say, "Pay means you give us something for the tower. Something we like. Something you have." + +Lily and Tom think. They look around the room. They see their toys and books. They see their lamp. They like their lamp. They think mom and dad like it too. + +They say, "We can pay you with our lamp. Our lamp is clear and shiny. It makes light when it is dark. Do you want our lamp?" + +Mom and dad are surprised. They say, "Your lamp? No, no, we don't want your lamp. Your lamp is yours. You need it at night. We have our own lamp. We were just joking. You don't have to pay us for the tower. You can keep it for free." + +Lily and Tom are relieved. They say, "Oh, OK. Thank you, mom and dad. We are sorry. We didn't know you were joking. We love you. We love our lamp. We love our tower." + +Mom and dad hug them. They say, "We love you too. We are proud of you. You are very generous and kind. You can keep your lamp and your tower. But you have to share them with each other. OK?" + +Lily and Tom nod. They say, "OK, we will share. We are happy. We have the best mom and dad. And the best lamp and tower." +Lily and Ben were bored. They had nothing to do in their new house. All the furniture was modern and white and shiny. They could not play with it or draw on it or jump on it. Their mom said it was very expensive and they had to be careful. + +They decided to explore the basement. It was dark and dusty and full of old things. They found a box of toys that belonged to their dad when he was little. There were cars and dolls and books and puzzles. They were happy and started to play. + +Lily picked up a wooden snake. It was long and brown and had red eyes. She liked it and wanted to scare Ben. She hid behind a chair and waited for him to come near. She saw his feet and jumped out. She made a hissing sound and waved the snake in his face. + +Ben was not scared. He was angry. He grabbed the snake and pulled it hard. He heard a snap. The snake broke in two. Lily gasped. She saw the broken snake and started to cry. She loved the snake and now it was ruined. + +Their mom heard the noise and came down. She saw the mess and the tears and the broken snake. She was not happy. She asked them what happened. Ben said it was Lily's fault. Lily said it was Ben's fault. They both said they were sorry. + +Their mom sighed. She said they had to learn to share and be gentle. She said the snake was very old and fragile. She said their dad would be sad to see it broken. She said they had to help her clean up and then go to their room. + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They wished they had not fought over the snake. They wished they had not broken it. They wished they had played with something else. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They helped their mom clean up and then went to their room. They hoped their dad would not be too mad. They hoped they would find something fun to do tomorrow. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to open the drawers and the cupboards and look at the things inside. One day, they found a big white box in the corner. It was cold and had a door with a handle. + +"What is this?" Ben asked. + +"It is a freezer," Mia said. "Mommy puts food in there to keep it fresh." + +"Can we open it?" Ben wondered. + +"Maybe," Mia said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy says the freezer is ancient and sometimes it does not work well." + +Ben and Mia pulled the handle and opened the door. They saw many bags and boxes with different colors and shapes. They were curious and wanted to touch them. + +"Look, this is ice cream!" Ben said, grabbing a pink tub. + +"And this is pizza!" Mia said, taking a red box. + +They opened the tub and the box and took out some ice cream and pizza. They tried to eat them, but they were too hard and cold. + +"Yuck!" Ben said, spitting out the ice cream. + +"Blech!" Mia said, throwing away the pizza. + +They did not like the food from the freezer. They wanted something warm and soft and sweet. + +"Let's go to the pantry," Ben said. "Maybe we can find some cookies or candy." + +"Good idea," Mia said. "But we have to close the freezer first. Mommy will be mad if we leave it open." + +They tried to close the freezer, but the door was stuck. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. "The freezer is broken." + +"What do we do?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe we can hide it," Ben said. "We can put a blanket over it or something." + +They looked around the kitchen and saw a big blue blanket on the couch. They ran to get it and brought it to the freezer. They tried to cover it, but the blanket was too small. The freezer was still visible. + +"This is not working," Mia said. + +"Maybe we can pretend it is not there," Ben said. "We can act like we do not see it." + +They nodded and walked away from the freezer. They went to the pantry and looked for some snacks. They found some crackers and jam and ate them happily. + +Soon, Mommy came home from work. She saw the twins in the kitchen and smiled. + +"Hello, my darlings," she said. "Did you have fun today?" + +"Yes, Mommy," Ben and Mia said. + +Mommy looked around the kitchen and saw the open freezer with the ice cream and pizza on the floor. She saw the blanket on the freezer and the handle sticking out. She frowned. + +"What is this?" she asked. + +Ben and Mia looked at each other. They did not want to tell Mommy what they did. They refused to answer. + +Mommy was not happy. She knew the twins were hiding something. She asked them again and again, but they did not say a word. + +"Ben, Mia, tell me the truth," she said. "What did you do to the freezer?" + +Ben and Mia shook their heads. They did not want to get in trouble. They hoped Mommy would forget about the freezer. + +But Mommy did not forget. She was very angry. She took the twins to their room and gave them a timeout. She told them they could not play or watch TV until they apologized and explained what they did. + +Ben and Mia were sad and sorry. They wished they had not opened the freezer. They wished they had listened to Mommy. They wished they had told the truth. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that the freezer was ancient and not a toy. They learned that lying and refusing to talk was not a good idea. They learned that Mommy loved them and wanted them to be honest and safe. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Anna found a big vase on the shelf. She thought it was shiny and pretty. + +"Look, Ben, I found a treasure!" she said, holding the vase. + +"No, that's not a treasure, that's a vase. It's for flowers, not pirates," Ben said, taking the vase from her. + +"Yes, it is a treasure, and it's mine. Give it back!" Anna said, pulling the vase. + +They both tugged on the vase, but it was too heavy and slippery. It fell to the floor and broke into pieces. They heard a loud noise and a smelly smell. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Anna said, looking at the mess. + +They saw their mom coming into the room. She looked angry and sad. + +"What happened here? Who broke my vase?" she asked. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry and scared. + +"We're sorry, mom. We were playing and we didn't mean to break it," Anna said. + +"It was an accident, mom. We didn't know it was your vase," Ben said. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. + +"That vase was very special to me. It was a gift from your grandma. She loved flowers and she always put them in that vase. It was very old and beautiful. You should have been more careful and respectful," she said. + +Anna and Ben felt very bad. They wished they could fix the vase and make mom happy. + +"We're very sorry, mom. We love you and grandma. Can we help you clean up?" they asked. + +Mom nodded and smiled a little. + +"Thank you, my loves. I know you didn't mean to hurt me. But you have to learn to be more gentle and responsible with things that are not yours. And maybe next time, you can include some flowers in your treasure hunt," she said. +One day, Tom and Lily were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a scarf for a flag. They pretended to sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +But then, Ben came along. Ben was a big boy who liked to be mean. He saw Tom and Lily and said, "You are not pirates, you are babies. I am the real pirate and this is my ship. Go away or I will slap you." + +Tom and Lily did not like Ben. They said, "No, this is our ship and we are pirates. You go away or we will fight you." They held their stick swords and got ready to defend their ship. + +Ben laughed and ran towards them. He tried to grab the box and pull it away. But Tom and Lily were brave and fought back. They slapped Ben with their stick swords and made him cry. Ben ran away and left them alone. + +Tom and Lily cheered and hugged each other. They had won the battle and kept their ship. They said, "We are the best pirates ever. We are a fit team." They continued to play and have fun. They found a treasure of cookies and juice and shared it. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find things in the dirt. Sometimes they found worms, sometimes they found stones, and sometimes they found potatoes. + +"Look, I found a potato!" Lily said, holding up a brown and round thing. + +"Wow, me too!" Tom said, showing his potato. "They are so big and funny. What can we do with them?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. "We can solve a puzzle with them!" she said. "We can make faces on them with sticks and leaves and flowers. Then we can mix them up and try to find our own potato again." + +Tom liked the idea. He thought it was charming. He smiled and nodded. "Yes, let's do that!" he said. "It will be fun and hard." + +They started to make faces on their potatoes. Lily made a happy face with a stick for a mouth, two leaves for eyes, and a flower for a nose. Tom made a silly face with a stick for a tongue, two stones for eyes, and a leaf for a nose. They made four potatoes each, and then they mixed them up in a big pile. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily said. "Let's find our potatoes!" + +They began to look at the potatoes one by one, trying to remember which ones they made. They had to look carefully at the faces and the details. Sometimes they got confused, sometimes they got surprised, and sometimes they got excited. + +"I found mine!" Lily said, holding up her happy potato. "See, it has a flower for a nose. It is so pretty." + +"Good job, Lily!" Tom said. "I found mine too!" He showed his silly potato. "See, it has a stick for a tongue. It is so funny." + +They hugged and cheered. They had solved the puzzle. They were proud and happy. They decided to keep their potatoes as friends and play with them some more. They had a lot of fun in the garden. +Tommy loved to play with his truck. He had a big red truck that he could push and pull and make loud noises with. He liked to pretend that he was a driver and that he had to deliver things to different places. He had a lot of fun with his truck. + +One day, he saw a new boy in the park. The boy was bald and had no hair on his head. Tommy thought that was strange and wanted to know why. He went to the boy and asked him, "Why are you bald? Where is your hair?" The boy looked sad and said, "I am sick. I have to take medicine that makes my hair fall out. But it will grow back someday." + +Tommy felt sorry for the boy and wanted to make him happy. He said, "Do you want to play with me? I have a truck. We can be drivers and deliver things to different places." The boy smiled and said, "Yes, I would like that. Thank you for being nice to me." He took Tommy's hand and they went to play with the truck. + +They had a lot of fun with the truck. They pushed and pulled and made loud noises. They pretended that they were drivers and that they had to deliver things to different places. They became friends and shared their truck. Tommy was glad that he met the boy and that he made him happy. He learned that being bald was not bad and that hair was not important. He learned that being kind and sharing was more important. He learned that playing with a truck was more fun with a friend. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles and roads. But then a big dog came and ran over their sand castles. The dog was filthy and had mud and leaves on his fur. He barked and wagged his tail. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted at the dog. "You ruined our castles!" + +Mia was scared of the dog and hid behind Ben. She hugged her teddy bear and cried. The dog came closer and sniffed Mia's teddy bear. He liked the smell and tried to take it. + +"No, no, no!" Mia screamed. "That's mine! Give it back!" + +The dog did not listen and pulled the teddy bear with his teeth. Mia and Ben pulled the other end. They had a tug-of-war with the dog. The teddy bear was getting dirty and torn. + +Then a young girl came and saw what was happening. She was the dog's owner and she called his name. + +"Rex, Rex, come here!" she said. "Bad dog, bad dog! Leave the toys alone!" + +She ran to the dog and took his collar. She pulled him away from Mia and Ben. She looked at them and said sorry. + +"I'm so sorry, he's very naughty. He likes to play with everything. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Mia and Ben were not hurt, but they were angry and sad. They looked at their sand castles and their teddy bear. They were all ruined. + +"It's okay, we're okay. But he broke our toys. Look at our teddy bear, he's filthy and ripped," Ben said. + +The girl felt bad and wanted to help. She took out her pocket money and gave it to Mia and Ben. + +"Here, take this. You can buy a new teddy bear and some more toys. I'm really sorry. Please don't be mad at Rex, he's just a puppy. He doesn't know better," she said. + +Mia and Ben looked at the money and then at the girl. They saw that she was nice and sorry. They decided to forgive her and Rex. + +"Thank you, that's very kind of you. We're not mad anymore. Maybe we can play with you and Rex another day. But he has to be gentle and not ruin our toys," Mia said. + +The girl smiled and nodded. She hugged Rex and said thank you too. + +"Thank you, that's very nice of you. We would love to play with you another day. I will teach Rex to be gentle and not ruin your toys. He's a good dog, really. He just needs to learn," she said. + +They all said goodbye and went their ways. Mia and Ben went to the shop and bought a new teddy bear and some more toys. They were happy again. They learned to be forgiving and thankful. They made a new friend and a new playmate. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, a bear!" Ben said, pointing to the woods. He saw a big brown animal with fur and claws. It was looking at them. + +"Let's go say hello!" Anna said. She liked animals. She wanted to pet the bear. + +"No, Anna, wait!" Ben said. He was scared of the bear. He remembered what Mommy told him. Bears can be dangerous. They can bite and scratch. "We have to go inside. Now!" + +But Anna did not listen. She ran towards the bear. She wanted to be his friend. She did not know he was hungry and cold. He had not eaten for a long time. He saw Anna as food. + +The bear growled and ran after Anna. He was faster than her. He caught her with his paw. He knocked her down. He opened his mouth to bite her. + +"Anna!" Ben screamed. He was very brave. He picked up a stick. He threw it at the bear. He hit him on the nose. The bear was angry. He turned to Ben. He forgot about Anna. + +Anna was hurt. She was bleeding. She was cold. She saw the snowman. She crawled to him. She hugged him. She hoped he would help her. She covered herself with his scarf. She closed her eyes. + +Ben ran to Anna. He saw the bear was gone. He was scared and sad. He cried. He called for Mommy. He hoped she would hear him. He hoped she would come. He hoped Anna would be okay. He hugged her. He covered her with his hat. He whispered, "I love you, Anna. I'm sorry. Please wake up." +Anna loves going to class. She likes to play with her friends, sing songs, and draw pictures. But today, Anna is sick. She has a sore throat and a fever. She has to stay at home with her mom. + +Anna is sad. She misses her class. She misses her teacher and her friends. She wonders what they are doing. She wishes she could go to class and have fun. + +"Mom, can I call my teacher?" Anna asks. "I want to say hello and sorry I can't go to class." + +"Sure, honey," mom says. "Let me get the phone for you." + +Mom dials the number and gives the phone to Anna. Anna hears her teacher's voice. + +"Hello, this is Miss Lee. Who is this?" + +"Hi, Miss Lee. It's Anna. I'm sick. I can't go to class today." + +"Oh, Anna. I'm sorry to hear that. How are you feeling?" + +"Not good. I have a sore throat and a fever. I miss you and my friends. I miss class." + +"I miss you too, Anna. We all miss you. We hope you get better soon. We have an enormous surprise for you when you come back." + +"Really? What is it?" + +"I can't tell you. It's a secret. But I think you will love it. It's something very special." + +Anna smiles. She feels a little better. She is curious about the surprise. She wants to go back to class and see it. + +"Thank you, Miss Lee. You are very nice. I love you." + +"I love you too, Anna. Take care of yourself. Bye-bye." + +"Bye-bye, Miss Lee." + +Anna gives the phone back to mom. She hugs mom and says, "Mom, I can't wait to go back to class. Miss Lee has an enormous surprise for me." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's wonderful, Anna. I'm sure it's something very nice. But first, you have to rest and get well. Then you can go back to class and see your surprise." + +Anna nods. She agrees with mom. She goes to bed and dreams of the enormous surprise. She hopes it's something very fun. +Anna loved to draw and write in her journal. She had many pictures and stories of her family, friends and toys. She was proud of her journal and liked to show it to her mom and dad. + +One day, she took her journal to the park with her brother Ben. Ben wanted to play with his cars and zoom them on the slide. He asked Anna to join him, but she said no. She wanted to draw a new picture of a flower in her journal. + +Ben got bored of his cars and saw Anna's journal. He wanted to see what was inside. He grabbed the journal from Anna and opened it. Anna was angry and scared. She yelled at Ben to give it back. + +"Let me see, let me see!" Ben said. He flipped the pages and saw Anna's drawings. He laughed and said they were silly and ugly. He tore one of the pages and threw it in the air. + +Anna cried and ran to get her page. She was very sad and hurt. She hugged her journal and said, "You are mean, Ben! You ruined my journal!" + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw Anna crying and Ben holding the torn page. They asked what happened and listened to both sides. They scolded Ben for taking Anna's journal and tearing her page. They told him to say sorry and to be nice to his sister. They praised Anna for her journal and told her they were proud of her. They helped her fix her page with some tape and gave her a hug. + +Anna and Ben said sorry to each other and hugged too. They decided to share their toys and play together. Anna showed Ben her journal and Ben showed Anna his cars. They zoomed the cars on the slide and drew some flowers in the journal. They had fun and were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have your doll?" Ben asked Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily answered. She hugged her doll and turned away from Ben. + +"Please, just for a little bit!" Ben begged. He tried to grab the doll from Lily, but she held it tight. + +"Stop it, Ben! You have your own toy!" Lily shouted. She pushed Ben away and he fell on the floor. + +Ben felt a pain in his stomach. He started to cry. He was frustrated that Lily did not share with him. He wanted to play with the doll too. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Ben crying and Lily holding her doll. + +"What's going on here?" Mom asked. + +"Lily won't let me play with her doll!" Ben sobbed. + +"Ben tried to take my doll!" Lily complained. + +Mom sighed. She picked up Ben and hugged him. She checked his stomach and saw that he had a bruise. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Mom asked. + +"It hurts, Mom!" Ben said. + +Mom kissed his stomach and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. It will get better soon. But you know, you shouldn't try to take things from others. You have to ask nicely and wait for your turn." + +"I know, Mom. But I really wanted to play with the doll!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "I understand, Ben. But you have a nice truck too. Why don't you show Lily how it works? Maybe she will want to play with you." + +Ben nodded and wiped his tears. He got his truck and showed it to Lily. Lily looked at the truck and said, "That's a cool truck, Ben. Can I try it?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. You can try it. And maybe I can try your doll later?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Ben. That sounds fair." + +They exchanged their toys and started to play together. Mom watched them and felt happy. She hoped they would learn to share and be nice to each other. She went to the kitchen to make some snacks for them. She knew they would be hungry after playing. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big fountain. It had water that went up and down. It was shiny and pretty. + +"Let's go to the fountain!" Lily said. "We can splash and have fun!" + +"OK!" Tom said. "But we have to plan. The fountain is far and we have to cross the road. We have to be careful and look both ways." + +They held hands and walked to the fountain. They saw a lady with a dog. The dog was fluffy and cute. Lily and Tom wanted to pet the dog. + +"Hello, lady!" Lily said. "Can we pet your dog? He is so fluffy and cute!" + +"Sure, you can pet him. He is very friendly and helpful. His name is Spot." The lady said. She smiled and let them pet the dog. + +Lily and Tom forgot about the fountain. They played with the dog. They threw a ball and he fetched it. They rubbed his belly and he wagged his tail. They laughed and had fun. + +But they did not see the car. The car was fast and loud. It did not stop at the red light. It hit the lady and the dog. They flew in the air and fell on the ground. They did not move. They did not make a sound. + +Lily and Tom screamed. They were scared and sad. They ran to the lady and the dog. They tried to wake them up. But they did not wake up. They were gone. + +The end. +Lily was a cheerful girl who liked to drink milk from her glass. She drank milk every morning and every night. She said milk made her strong and happy. + +One day, Lily saw a big glass of milk on the table. She wanted to drink it all. She did not ask who it was for. She did not see the note that said "Do not drink, this is for Mommy's medicine". + +Lily took the glass and drank the milk very fast. She felt proud that she could finish it. She did not know that the milk had something bad in it. Something that made Mommy feel better, but made Lily feel sick. + +Soon, Lily felt a pain in her tummy. She felt dizzy and hot. She started to cry. Mommy heard her and ran to her. She saw the empty glass and the note. She was very scared. She called for help. + +But it was too late. The bad thing in the milk was too much for Lily. She could not breathe. She closed her eyes and did not wake up. Mommy was very sad. She wished she had put the glass away. She wished Lily had asked before she drank. She wished she could hug her cheerful girl again. +Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her room. Some books had pictures, some books had words, some books had both. She liked to read them all. + +One day, she found a book she had never seen before. It was in a box under her bed. The book was old and big. It had a lock on it. Lily was curious. She wanted to read the book. + +She looked for the key. She found a note on the box. The note said: "This book is rare. It is a gift from Grandma. She read it when she was a girl. The key is in the drawer. Be careful with the book. Love, Mom." + +Lily ran to the drawer. She opened it and saw a small key. She took the key and went back to the box. She unlocked the book and opened it. She saw many pages with words and pictures. The pictures were of animals and plants and places. The words were in a language she did not know. + +She heard a voice behind her. It was Mom. Mom said: "Lily, what are you doing? Is that the book from Grandma?" + +Lily turned around and smiled. She said: "Yes, Mom. I found it under my bed. I wanted to read it. It is a rare book. It is very pretty." + +Mom smiled too. She said: "It is a rare book, indeed. It is a book of fairy tales from Grandma's country. She used to read it to me when I was a girl. Do you want me to read it to you?" + +Lily nodded. She said: "Yes, please, Mom. I want to hear the fairy tales. Can we read it together?" + +Mom hugged Lily. She said: "Of course, my dear. Let's read it together. Maybe we can learn some words from Grandma's language too." + +They sat on the bed and opened the book. They read the fairy tales and looked at the pictures. They had a lot of fun. They felt close to Grandma. They thanked her for the rare book. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They saw a big mixer on the counter. It had a bowl and a whisk and a button. + +"Can we use the mixer?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Mom said not to touch it. It might be dangerous," Tom said. + +"But it looks so fun. Maybe we can make a cake," Lily said. She reached for the button. + +"Stop! Don't do that!" Tom shouted. But it was too late. Lily pushed the button and the mixer started to spin. The bowl was full of flour and eggs and milk. The mixer made a loud noise and splashed the batter everywhere. + +Lily and Tom were covered in sticky goo. They looked at each other and screamed. Then they heard Mom coming. + +"Oh no! Mom will be mad!" Tom said. + +"Run! Run!" Lily said. They ran out of the kitchen and hid under the bed. They hoped Mom would not find them. + +Mom saw the mess in the kitchen. She was very angry. She looked for Lily and Tom. She heard them giggling under the bed. She pulled them out and gave them a big hug. + +"I'm glad you're not hurt. But you should never play with the mixer. It's not a toy. It's for grown-ups only," Mom said. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We wanted to make a cake for you," Lily said. + +"That's very sweet, but you don't need a mixer to make a cake. You can use a spoon and a bowl and your hands. And you can help me clean up this mess," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. We love you," Tom said. + +"I love you too. Now let's go to the kitchen and make a real cake. A warm and yummy cake," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom smiled. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They learned their lesson. They never played with the mixer again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with no hair on its head. It was a bald eagle. Ben and Lily wanted to see it better, so they ran after it. + +The bald eagle flew away. It did not like the children. It dropped a feather on the ground. Ben and Lily picked it up. It was soft and white. + +"Look, we have a feather from the bald eagle!" Ben said. + +"Let's tell mom and dad!" Lily said. + +They ran back to their parents. They showed them the feather. Mom and dad were happy. They said the feather was special. + +"Where did you get it?" mom asked. + +"We saw a bald eagle in the park. It flew away and gave us this feather," Ben said. + +"That's amazing! You are very lucky," dad said. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They liked the feather. They liked the bald eagle. They liked the park. They liked their mom and dad. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben were bored. They had nothing to do at home. Mom was busy with the grocery. She had to buy food and other things for the family. + +"Can we go with you, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, you have to stay here with Ben. It's too hot and crowded outside. You can play with your toys or watch some TV," Mom said. + +"But we don't want to play with our toys or watch TV. They are dull. We want to go with you," Ben said. + +"Sorry, honey, but you have to listen to me. I'll be back soon. Be good and don't make a mess," Mom said. She gave them a kiss and left. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were still bored. They decided to play a game. They took turns asking each other questions. The other one had to answer. + +"What is your favorite color?" Lily asked. + +"Blue," Ben answered. + +"What is your favorite animal?" Ben asked. + +"Cat," Lily answered. + +They asked and answered more questions. They had fun. They learned more about each other. They forgot about their boredom. + +Mom came back with the grocery. She saw Lily and Ben smiling and talking. She was happy. + +"Did you have a good time, kids?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, we did. We played a game. We asked and answered questions. We had fun," Lily said. + +"That's wonderful, kids. I'm proud of you. You were good and didn't make a mess. You also learned something new. Asking and answering questions is a good way to communicate and share. You can do it anytime, anywhere, with anyone. It's not dull at all," Mom said. + +She hugged them and gave them a treat. Lily and Ben were happy. They thanked Mom and helped her with the grocery. They learned that they could have fun with simple words. +Lily liked to visit her aunt's house. Her aunt had a big garden with many flowers and trees. Lily loved to smell the flowers and touch the leaves. She wanted to grow a flower of her own. + +One day, her aunt gave her a small pot with some dirt and a seed. She said, "This is a sunflower seed. If you water it and put it in the sun, it will grow into a big, yellow flower." + +Lily was very happy. She thanked her aunt and took the pot home. She put it on the windowsill and watered it every day. She watched the seed carefully, hoping to see it grow. + +After a few days, she saw a tiny green sprout poking out of the dirt. She clapped her hands and said, "Look, Mommy, my seed is growing!" + +Mommy smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Lily. You are a good gardener. Keep taking care of your seed and it will grow more and more." + +Lily nodded and hugged her pot. She was excited to see her sunflower grow. She wondered how big and bright it would be when it was open. She thought of her aunt and decided to make her a card to say thank you. She drew a picture of a sunflower and wrote, "I love you, Auntie." She put the card in an envelope and asked Mommy to mail it to her aunt. She hoped her aunt would like it. She hoped her sunflower would make her aunt happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, Anna gets an invitation from Lily. Lily is having a birthday party. Anna is happy. She wants to go to the party. + +She shows the invitation to Ben. Ben is sad. He does not have an invitation. He likes Lily too. He wants to go to the party. + +"Can I come with you?" he asks Anna. + +"I don't know," Anna says. "The invitation is only for me. Maybe you can ask Lily." + +Ben is scared. Lily is fierce. She sometimes yells at him. He does not want to make her angry. + +"Please, Anna, help me," he says. "You are my friend. You can talk to Lily for me." + +Anna thinks. She likes Ben. He is her friend. She does not want him to be sad. She decides to help him. + +"Okay, Ben, I will help you," she says. "But you have to be nice to Lily. And you have to share your toys. And you have to say thank you." + +Ben nods. He agrees. He will do what Anna says. + +Anna and Ben go to Lily's house. Anna knocks on the door. Lily opens it. She sees Anna and Ben. + +"Hi, Anna," she says. "You are here for my party. Come in." + +She looks at Ben. She frowns. She does not see an invitation for him. + +"Who is he?" she asks. "Why is he here?" + +Anna takes a deep breath. She hopes Lily will not be fierce. She smiles. + +"He is Ben," she says. "He is my friend. He likes you. He wants to come to your party. Can he please join us?" + +Lily thinks. She likes Anna. She is her friend. She does not want to be mean. She decides to let Ben in. + +"Okay, Ben, you can come to my party," she says. "But you have to be nice to me. And you have to share your toys. And you have to say thank you." + +Ben nods. He is happy. He says thank you. + +Anna and Ben go inside. They have fun at the party. They play games. They eat cake. They sing songs. They make new friends. + +Lily is not fierce. She is nice. She is happy too. She thanks Anna and Ben for coming. + +Anna and Ben hug Lily. They say goodbye. They go home. + +They are glad they helped each other. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big box of toys. They can make many things with the toys. + +One day, they decide to make a castle. They work hard. They use blocks, cups, and sticks. They make walls, towers, and a gate. They are happy with their castle. + +"Look at our castle!" Anna says. "It is so big and nice!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "We are good at making castles!" + +They want to play more. They look for more toys. They see a ball. They have a question. + +"Can we use the ball for our castle?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe," Ben says. "What can we do with it?" + +They think. They have an idea. + +"Let's roll the ball at the castle!" Anna says. "It will be fun!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "Let's do it!" + +They take the ball. They stand far from the castle. They take turns to roll the ball. The ball hits the castle. The castle falls down. The blocks, cups, and sticks scatter everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Anna says. "Our castle is gone!" + +"That was a terrible idea!" Ben says. "We worked so hard!" + +They are sad. They look at the mess. They have another question. + +"Can we make another castle?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe," Ben says. "But we have to clean up first." + +They nod. They start to pick up the toys. They work together. They are still friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big rocket in the park. It is red and shiny. It has a button on it. + +"Wow, look at this rocket!" Tom says. "It is great. Can we play with it?" + +Sam nods. He likes rockets too. He wants to see how it works. He pushes the button. + +The rocket makes a loud noise. It starts to fly. Tom and Sam are happy. They clap their hands. They watch the rocket go up and up. + +But the rocket does not stop. It goes too high. It goes out of sight. Tom and Sam are sad. They want their rocket back. They cry. + +They do not know that the rocket is going to the moon. They do not know that the rocket has no fuel. They do not know that the rocket will crash and break. They only know that they lost their great rocket. They wish they never pushed the button. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many hats, scarves, and glasses to make them look different. One day, she found a new thing in her mom's drawer: a mustache. It was black and fuzzy and had a sticky part on the back. + +Lily thought it would be fun to put the mustache on one of her dolls. She chose her favorite doll, Anna, who had long blonde hair and a pink dress. She stuck the mustache on Anna's face and laughed. She thought Anna looked very funny and silly. + +She ran to show her mom, who was in the kitchen. "Look, Mom, look at Anna!" she said, holding the doll. "She has a mustache!" + +Mom looked at the doll and smiled. "Wow, Lily, that's a very creative look for Anna. Where did you find the mustache?" + +"I found it in your drawer, Mom. Can I keep it? Please, please, please?" + +Mom thought for a moment. She remembered that the mustache was a gift from her friend, who liked to make jokes. She didn't really need it or want it. She decided to let Lily have it. + +"Sure, Lily, you can keep the mustache. But I have one recommendation for you. Can you guess what it is?" + +Lily thought hard. She wanted to make her mom happy. She looked at the mustache and had an idea. + +"Is it to share the mustache with my other dolls?" + +Mom nodded. "That's right, Lily. Sharing is caring. And you have so many dolls who might like to try the mustache. Maybe you can make a story with them. What do you think?" + +Lily liked that idea. She loved to make stories with her dolls. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. I will share the mustache and make a story. Maybe Anna can be a detective with a mustache. She is very smart and independent. She can solve mysteries and help people." + +Mom kissed Lily and said, "That sounds like a wonderful story, Lily. I can't wait to hear it. Have fun, my sweet girl." +Jill and Tom like to play in the park. They like to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But their favorite thing is to spin on the roundabout. They spin and spin until they feel dizzy and laugh. + +One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a long line of ropes with rings on them. It looks like fun. They run to the line and grab a ring each. They try to spin on the rings, but it is hard. They swing back and forth, but they do not spin. + +"Tom, how do we spin on this?" Jill asks. + +"I don't know, Jill. Maybe we need to push harder," Tom says. + +They push harder, but they still do not spin. They feel sad and bored. They want to spin. + +Then, they see a big boy come to the line. He is wise. He knows how to spin on the rings. He grabs a ring and swings his legs. He makes a big circle in the air. He spins and spins. He looks happy. + +"Wow, look at him!" Jill says. + +"He is so good!" Tom says. + +They watch the big boy spin. They want to learn how to spin like him. They ask him to teach them. + +"Hi, big boy. Can you teach us how to spin on the rings?" Jill says. + +"Sure, little ones. It is easy. You just need to swing your legs and make a big circle. Like this," the big boy says. + +He shows them again how to spin. He is nice. He helps them to spin. Jill and Tom try to swing their legs and make a big circle. They feel a little scared, but they also feel excited. They start to spin. They spin and spin. They feel happy and proud. + +"Yay, we can spin!" Jill says. + +"We can spin!" Tom says. + +They thank the big boy for teaching them. They spin and spin until they feel dizzy and laugh. They have a lot of fun. They like the new thing in the park. They like to spin on the rings. +Lily and Sam were playing in the snow. They made a huge snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +But then, a big dog came running. He saw the snowman and wanted to play too. He jumped on the snowman and bit his nose. He pulled his scarf and his hat. He made the snowman fall down. + +"Hey, stop it!" Lily shouted. "That's our snowman! Go away!" + +But the dog did not listen. He saw Lily's mitten on her hand. He thought it was a toy. He ran to Lily and grabbed her mitten. He pulled it hard. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "Let go of my mitten! That hurts!" + +Sam heard Lily's cry. He ran to help her. He threw a snowball at the dog. The dog was surprised. He dropped the mitten and ran away. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, thank you, Sam," Lily said. "You saved my mitten." + +They hugged each other.

One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom, it will be fun!" Lily says. She has an urge to slide down fast. "Don't be afraid, I will go with you." + +Tom shakes his head. He thinks the slide is too high and too steep. He does not want to fall or hurt himself. He says, "No, Lily, I don't want to go. You can go by yourself." + +Lily feels sad. She does not want to leave Tom alone. She wants to share the fun with him. She says, "Please, Tom, please. Just try it once. I promise it will be okay. I will hold your hand and we will go slow." + +Tom looks at Lily. He sees that she is his friend and she cares for him. He does not want to make her sad. He thinks maybe he can try the slide. He says, "Okay, Lily, okay. I will try it once. But you have to promise to hold my hand and go slow." + +Lily smiles. She is happy that Tom agrees. She says, "I promise, Tom, I promise. Come on, let's go." + +They hold hands and climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide. Lily says, "Are you ready, Tom?" + +Tom nods. He feels nervous, but also curious. He says, "Yes, Lily, I'm ready." + +They slide down together. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream. They reach the bottom and jump off. They hug each other. + +They did it! They had fun! + +They look at the slide. They think it is not so scary anymore. They think it is fun and exciting. They think they are brave and strong. + +They say to each other, "Let's do it again!" + +They run back to the stairs. They are happy and healthy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are smart kids. They like to learn new things and ask many questions. One day, they travel with their mom and dad to a big farm. The farm has many grapes and apples and flowers. + +The farmer is nice and shows them around. He tells them how he makes wine from the grapes. He lets them taste some juice, but not the wine. He says wine is only for grown-ups. Anna and Ben think the juice is sweet and yummy. + +They also see how the farmer makes honey from the bees. He gives them some honey to try. It is sticky and golden and delicious. They thank the farmer and say goodbye. + +On the way back, Anna and Ben tell their mom and dad what they learned. They say they want to be smart like the farmer. Their mom and dad smile and hug them. They say they are proud of them and love them very much. +Anna and Ben are twins.

They want to see the animals, so they ask their mom and dad if they can go. + +"OK, but stay close to us and hold our hands," mom says. "The truck is going to the zoo, and we don't want you to get lost." + +Anna and Ben nod and follow their mom and dad to the truck. They see a lion, a monkey, a giraffe, and a panda. They are very happy and excited. They point and say the names of the animals. + +"Look, mom, a lion! Roar!" Ben says. + +"Look, dad, a monkey! Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!" Anna says. + +They walk around the truck and see more animals. They see a zebra, a turtle, a snake, and a penguin. They are very curious and amazed. They touch and say the sounds of the animals. + +"Look, mom, a zebra! Neigh!" Anna says. + +"Look, dad, a turtle! Snap!" Ben says. + +They walk around the truck again and see a big cage with a bird in it. The bird is very colorful and has a long tail. It looks at Anna and Ben and says something. + +"Hello, hello, hello!" the bird says. + +Anna and Ben are very surprised and laugh. They say hello back to the bird. + +"Hello, bird! What is your name?" Ben says. + +"Hello, Ben! My name is Polly!" the bird says. + +"Hello, Polly! You are very smart and pretty!" Anna says. + +"Hello, Anna! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" the bird says. + +Anna and Ben are very happy and clap their hands. They recognize the bird from a book they have at home.

Can you fix it?" + +Mommy comes to their room and sees the broken band. She smiles and hugs Sara and Ben. "Don't worry, my loves. I have a new band for you. It is bigger and stronger. It will not break. Do you want to try it?" + +"Yes, please!" Sara and Ben say. Mommy takes the new band and puts it around the train.

One day, her mom told her they had to visit her aunt and uncle in the big city. Lila did not want to go. She shook her head and hid under her bed. + +"Come on, Lila, it will be fun," her mom said. "Your aunt and uncle have a big garden and a dog and a pool. You can play with your cousin Sam. He is your age and very nice." + +Lila peeked out from under the bed. She saw her mom holding a big bag with her clothes and toys. She felt sad and scared. She did not know Sam or the dog or the pool. She did not like big gardens or big cities. She wanted to stay home with her dolls and books. + +Her mom saw her face and smiled. She put the bag down and sat on the floor. She reached out her hand and said, "Lila, I know you are shy and you like your home. But sometimes it is good to try new things and meet new people. You might find something you like or make a new friend. And I will be with you all the time. I will not leave you alone. Do you trust me?" + +Lila looked at her mom's hand and then at her face. She saw love and kindness in her eyes. She felt a little bit of courage in her heart. She nodded her head and took her mom's hand. She got out of the bed and hugged her mom. She said, "OK, mom, I will try. But can I bring my doll and my book?" + +"Of course, you can, sweetie," her mom said. "And you know what? I have a surprise for you. Your aunt and uncle have a gift for you. It is a spear. A real spear, like the ones the warriors use. You can pretend to be a brave hunter or a princess or whatever you want. Do you like that?" + +Lila's eyes widened. She liked spears. She had seen them in her books and on TV. She had always wanted to have one. She said, "A spear? A real spear? For me?" + +"Yes, for you," her mom said. "But you have to be careful with it. It is not a toy. It is sharp and can hurt you or someone else. You have to listen to your aunt and uncle and Sam and me when we tell you how to use it and where to keep it. Do you understand?" + +Lila nodded her head again. She felt excited and curious. She said, "Yes, mom, I understand. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom." + +"I love you too, Lila," her mom said. "Now, let's go. The car is waiting for us. Are you ready?" + +Lila nodded her head one more time. She picked up her doll and her book and followed her mom to the car. She was still shy and scared, but she was also happy and hopeful. She was going to see her aunt and uncle and Sam and the dog and the pool and the garden and the spear. She was going to try new things and meet new people.

They were both very popular with their friends. + +"Look, Lily, I can reverse my car!" Ben said, moving his car backwards. "Can you do that?" + +Lily tried to reverse her car, but she did not know how. She pushed the car forward instead, and it bumped into a big pot. The pot was full of dirt and flowers. It fell over and made a mess. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "We broke the pot! Mom will be angry!" + +Ben felt sorry for Lily. He did not want her to be sad. He had an idea. + +"Let's fix the pot!" he said. "We can use some tape and glue and paper. And we can put the flowers back in. Then Mom will not know." + +Lily smiled. She liked Ben's idea. They ran to the house and got some tape and glue and paper. They worked hard to fix the pot. They taped the cracks and glued the pieces. They cut some paper to make a new rim. They put the flowers back in and watered them. + +"There!" Ben said. "The pot looks good as new!" + +Lily hugged Ben. "You are a good friend!" she said. "Thank you for helping me!" + +They put the pot back in its place and cleaned up the dirt. They hoped Mom would not notice. They went back to playing with their toy cars. They decided to be more careful and not reverse too much. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They had a toy gun that could shoot water. They saw a big tree with many branches. They decided to climb the tree and hide. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet," Lily whispered to Tom. "Maybe we can see some bad guys from here." + +They looked around and saw a man walking his dog. He had a hat and a coat. He looked nice, but Lily and Tom thought he was suspicious. + +"Maybe he is a spy too," Tom said. "Maybe he has a secret message in his hat." + +"Let's shoot him with water and see what he does," Lily said. She aimed her toy gun at the man and pulled the trigger. A stream of water hit the man's hat and made it wet. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" the man shouted. He looked up and saw Lily and Tom in the tree. He was not happy. He took off his hat and shook it. + +"Sorry, mister, we were just playing," Lily said. She felt bad for making the man angry. + +"Yeah, sorry, we didn't mean to bother you," Tom said. He also felt bad. + +The man sighed. He saw that Lily and Tom were just kids having fun. He decided to be polite and not scold them. + +"It's okay, I guess, but you shouldn't shoot people with water without asking. It's not nice. And you should be careful in the tree. You could fall and hurt yourself," he said. + +"Okay, mister, we're sorry. We'll be more careful and nice," Lily and Tom said. + +They climbed down from the tree and apologized again. The man smiled and put on his hat. He walked away with his dog. + +Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They decided to play something else. They still liked to pretend they were spies, but they didn't shoot anyone with water anymore. They were more polite and respectful. +Tom and Lily were playing on the shore. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It was red and white and had a flag. + +"Let's go see the boat!" Tom said. He ran to the water and waved his arms. + +"No, Tom, wait!" Lily said. She was scared of the water. She knew it was deep and cold and had fish with teeth. "The boat is too far. We can't swim there." + +But Tom did not listen. He was ignorant. He thought he was brave and strong. He jumped into the water and tried to swim to the boat. + +Lily cried and called for help. She saw Tom go under the water. He did not come back up. She heard a loud roar. It was a shark. It had seen Tom and wanted to eat him. + +The shark bit Tom and dragged him away. Tom screamed and bled. The boat did not see him. The boat did not hear him. The boat sailed away. + +Lily was alone on the shore. She was sad and scared. She wished Tom had listened to her. She wished he had stayed with her. She wished he had not been ignorant. +Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Benny. Benny loved to play hide and seek with his friends in the forest.

She said, "No, let's look at it." +Tom hesitated but he let his sister explore the thing. When she touched it, she screamed with disgust. It was a giant bug! Tom shouted at his sister, "That is so disgusting. Why did you touch it?" +His sister replied, "I was curious." She looked upset and disappointed. Tom immediately remembered to be nice. He said, "It's ok. Just don't do it again." He thanked his sister for showing him the bug. + +They continued walking in the park, but then Tom heard a loud buzzing noise. He looked around and saw a swarm of bugs coming towards them. Tom screamed, "Run!" Him and his sister ran as fast as they could, but the bugs chased them. Tom shouted to his sister, "We won't make it! I'm sorry!" + +The bugs reached them and they were completely covered in the disgusting creatures. Tom and his sister felt awful, but they knew they had to keep running. In the end, they made it out of the park. They were exhausted and embarrassed from the experience. Even though Tom thanked his +Once upon a time, there was a helpless caterpillar on its journey. It had to go to many places but it was afraid of getting lost. + +"You must go this way," said a smiling bug. + +"No, I don't think so," the caterpillar disagreed. + +The bug smiled kindly and said, "I'm sure you'll find your way." + +The caterpillar thought about it for a moment and reluctantly agreed. + +Suddenly, another bug appeared and cried out, "No! You should go this way!" + +The two bugs began to argue, but the caterpillar disagreed with both of them. He didn't know where to go! He felt helpless and started to cry. + +"Stop arguing," he said between sobs, "I don't know which way to go." + +The two bugs stopped and looked at him sadly. Then they both smiled and pointed to the same path. The caterpillar smiled too and started down the path, feeling much happier and more confident. + +The caterpillar eventually found its way and waved goodbye to the two bugs. As it continued on its journey, it knew that it could always disagree when it was feeling helpless. +One day, there was a little girl who wanted to go on a trip. She went to her bedroom and started to pack her things. She put in her favourite dress, a stuffed animal and grabbed a drink. She felt excited and soon she was ready to go. + +The little girl went outside and started to explore. Everywhere she looked she could see different animals. She saw two ducks in the pond, a bird on the tree and a bee in the flowers. She wanted to take some of the animals with her, so she put them in her bag. + +At the end of the day, the little girl was thirsty. She found a sour apple lying on the ground and ate it. It was sour and she puckered up her face but even so she enjoyed the taste. When she finished her trip, the little girl took all her packed items out of her bag and placed them carefully back in her room. She had so much fun! +John and Maria were great friends. They went to the same school, played in the same park and sometimes even shared their sweets. + +But one day, John and Maria had a big disagreement. They both wanted the same toy and tried to take it away from each other. Their argument became more and more loud. + +That's when John saw a big, beautiful feather. He carefully picked it up and gave it to Maria. When Maria saw the feather she felt happy and their argument melted away. + +The feather made them realise that when they united instead of competing, they could both have a wonderful time. So, they hugged and ran off to play together. +Once upon a time there was a bear named Bob. Bob was very happy and he loved to do fun things. One day, he was invited to a special show.

But then, Bob saw something very strange. On the back of the stage was a big, scary picture. It made him feel uneasy and uncomfortable. + +Bob stopped singing and dancing and started to back away from the stage. He felt bad and wanted to run away. Everyone stopped clapping and started to get scared. They all ran away and Bob was all alone. + +From that moment on, Bob never clapped his hands together again.

He was a very fast runner. He always wore a blue cap whenever he went for a run. + +One day, Fred met another boy called Sam. Sam asked Fred, "Can I lend your cap?" + +Fred replied, "No, I need my cap. I run faster when I wear it." + +Sam smiled and said, "I understand. Things that help us are important to us. We should always take care of them." + +Fred was surprised. He realized that it is important to take care of the things that help us. It is not always good to lend them away. + +The two boys smiled and ran together around the park. From that day onwards, Fred always looked after his cap. He remembered the moral Sam taught him. +One bright and sunny day, a little girl and her dad went for a walk. They had been walking for quite a while when they heard a sound coming from the park. Looking closer, they saw a van parked near the playground. + +The girl was excited and wanted to look inside. As she approached the van, her dad warned her to stay back. But she was so curious and asked, “What’s in the van, Daddy?†+ +He said it was a surprise. But the dad was very loyal to his daughter and could not keep a secret. So he said, “Ok, I’ll tell you. Inside the van is a puppy!†+ +The little girl was overjoyed. She ran to the van and peered through the window. She could see a little white puppy sleeping on the seat. + +The dad and daughter were so happy and enjoyed playing with the puppy on the grassy field. It was the best day ever and the puppy was now part of the family. +The sun made everything look so much brighter.

Refuse it and come tell me right away. Okay?†+ +Little Andy nodded, taking in what his Dad said. Dad smiled, pleased that his message was getting through. Andy let out a happy giggle, feeling reassured of Dad's love. + +However, across the park a grown-up was getting frustrated. He had no one to turn to and the gun in his hand felt heavy and cold. He stared at Andy, thinking about what he could do. + +Suddenly, Dad was in front of him. He looked sternly at the grown-up, and said firmly “I think it’s best if you put the gun down.†+ +The grown-up refused, so Dad calmly took the gun away from him. + +Little Andy felt very proud of his Dad for standing up for him in that dangerous moment.

She spotted something shiny in the corner of her bedroom. It was a letter. She picked it up and went to find her mom to show her the letter. + +Lily said to her mom, "Mommy, look! I found the letter!" + +Her mom said, "That's great, Lily! Let's take a look at it." + +Lily's mom opened the letter and found a sharp pencil. She then handed it to Lily. + +Lily said, "Wow! A sharp pencil!" + +Lily's mom said, "Yes. And you can use it to write letters! But make sure you keep it clean and don't break it, okay?

He would find interesting objects everywhere he went and he liked to take them home. + +One day, Timmy found a strange object on the beach. He asked his mom if he could keep it and she said "No, Timmy. You can't keep it. It doesn't look very safe". But Timmy wanted the object very badly and he begged his mom to let him take it home. She said "No, Timmy. I can't permit it." + +Timmy was very upset and he ignored his mom and took the object home anyway. When he got home, he put his object on his desk. But suddenly, the object started to spark and steam and smoke! Timmy was scared and tried to run away but it was too late - the object exploded and sent pieces of metal flying all over the room! Timmy was covered in cuts and bruises and his mom was very angry. + +The moral of the story is: always listen to your mom and always obey her when she tells you not to do something. If she says it isn't safe, it probably isn't. Never take dangerous objects home with you. +There was a furry bear in the woods. He was walking around and having a nice day when he saw a campfire. He was drawn in by the warmth and wanted to get a little bit closer. + +The bear heard a voice coming from the campfire. He peered closer and saw a little girl there. + +The girl said, "Hello, little bear! Would you like to join me and have some fun?" + +The bear was a bit scared. He wasn't sure what the girl was planning. He asked, "What are we going to do?" + +The girl replied, "I'm going to tie you up and we can play tag around the fire." + +The bear was relieved. He liked games and wanted to have fun but was wary of being tied up. He said, "I don't want to be tied. It sounds scary." + +The girl smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll use a big fluffy bow so it won't hurt you. We can play tag around the fire!" + +The bear finally agreed and the girl used the fluffy bow to tie his paws together. They had a lot of fun playing tag around the campfire. The bear laughed and ran around the fire, enjoying his freedom. The girl and the bear became friends and the furry bear had a fun day. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Daisy. She had a favorite mug which she loved to use for drinking her juice. Every morning Daisy went to her kitchen to get her special mug which her mom had given her. + +One day Daisy was playing with her toys in the garden when she accidentally threw her mug over the fence. Daisy was so sad and started crying. A friendly rabbit that was hopping around near the fence comforted Daisy and said: “Don’t worry Daisy, I will help you look for your missing mug.†+ +The rabbit and Daisy searched around the garden for a long time until finally, the rabbit found the mug in a bush. Daisy found her precious mug and ran to grab it. Then she hugged the rabbit and thanked him for finding it. + +This story has a moral value that it is always a good idea to help someone in need. Daisy and the friendly rabbit were a great example of teamwork. When Daisy was in difficulty, the rabbit came to help. In the same way, when someone needs help, we should try and help them too. +The sun was so warm and bright, it was the perfect day for skipping. So the little boy and girl skipped along, hand in hand. + +Suddenly, they heard a sound—a strange, high-pitched whistle. What could it be? The little boy asked. +The girl grabbed his hand and they decided to investigate. + +They both looked around, until they noticed a strange object sticking out of the ground. "What's that?" the little boy asked in surprise. + +The girl smiled. "That, my friend, is a pipe," she said.

"Let's never come back here again," he said with a shudder. + +The girl nodded in agreement. "Let's skip away and never look back," she said. And they happily skipped away —but never forgot the sound of the pipe. +Sally was getting ready for her birthday party. She put on her favourite white dress and waited for her friends to arrive.

One by one they all came in, but not one of them had an invitation in their hands. + +Sally wondered who could have forgotten their invitations. She had sent out lots, but it seemed as if none of them had reached the right people. + +Just then, a small figure appeared in the doorway. It was Grandma, carrying a white envelope. + +"I guess I don't need an invitation," said Grandma with a smile. + +The moral of the story is that a clever person can often find a way around silly obstacles. Grandma showed Sally that if something slips away from you, you can often find another way to make it work. +Once there was a little girl named Lulu. Lulu was only three years old and loved to perform for her family and friends.
