+They laugh and have fun. They are happy with their rocket. They hope it will come back soon. They love to play with their rocket.
+Lily and Ben were very hungry. They wanted to eat turkey for dinner. Mom said she would cook a big turkey in the oven. Lily and Ben helped Mom put salt and butter on the turkey. Then they put it in a big pan and Mom put it in the oven.
+
+Lily and Ben waited and waited. They smelled the turkey and it made their mouths water. They asked Mom, "Is the turkey ready yet?" Mom said, "Not yet, my loves. It needs more time. Why don't you drink some juice and play with your toys?"
+
+Lily and Ben drank some juice and played with their toys. They had fun, but they still wanted to eat turkey. They asked Mom again, "Is the turkey ready now?" Mom said, "Yes, it is. Come and see." She took the turkey out of the oven and put it on the table. It was brown and juicy and smelled delicious.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the table. They said, "Yay, turkey!" Mom said, "Be careful, it's hot. Let me cut some pieces for you." She cut some pieces of turkey and put them on their plates. She also gave them some carrots and potatoes and gravy.
+
+Lily and Ben ate and ate. They said, "Mmm, this is the best turkey ever. Thank you, Mom." Mom said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you like it." She ate some turkey too. They all enjoyed their dinner.
+
+When they were done, Lily and Ben looked at the pan. It was empty. There was no turkey left. They said, "Wow, we ate all the turkey. We were very hungry." Mom said, "Yes, you were. And you did a good job. Now, who wants some pie?" Lily and Ben said, "Me, me!" They smiled and hugged Mom. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat beef for lunch. They asked their mom to cook beef for them.
+
+"Mom, can we have beef, please?" they requested.
+
+"Sorry, kids, we don't have any beef left. How about some chicken and rice?" their mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben did not like chicken and rice. They liked beef better. They were sad and angry.
+
+"No, we want beef! We want beef!" they shouted.
+
+Their mom was tired and busy. She did not like their shouting. She tried to calm them down.
+
+"Kids, stop shouting. You can't always have what you want. Chicken and rice is good for you. Maybe we can have beef another day," she said.
+
+But Anna and Ben did not listen. They kept shouting and crying. They made a lot of noise.
+
+Their mom had an idea. She remembered that there was a deep freezer in the basement. Maybe there was some beef in there. She went to check.
+
+She opened the freezer and saw a big package of beef. She was happy. She took it out and went back to the kitchen.
+
+"Look, kids, I found some beef! I can cook it for you. Are you happy now?" she said.
+
+Anna and Ben stopped shouting and crying. They saw the beef and smiled. They were happy.
+
+"Yes, we are happy! Thank you, mom!" they said.
+
+Their mom smiled too. She was glad that they were happy. She hoped that they would learn to be more grateful and patient. She put the beef in a pot and started to cook it.
+
+But she did not notice that the beef was very old and frozen. It had a bad smell and a strange color. It was not good to eat. She had forgotten to check the date on the package. She had made a big mistake.
+Anna and Ben love to watch fireworks. They like the big, bright colors and the loud noises. Sometimes they make their own fireworks with paper and crayons. They are very creative.
+
+One day, they find a box of real fireworks in the garage. They are curious and excited. They want to see what they can do with them. They take the box to the backyard and open it.
+
+They see many different kinds of fireworks. Some are small and round, some are long and thin, some have funny shapes and colors. They pick one that looks like a star and light it with a match.
+
+The firework makes a hissing sound and shoots up in the air. Then it explodes with a big bang and a shower of sparks. Anna and Ben clap and cheer. They think it is amazing.
+
+They want to try another one. They pick one that looks like a flower and light it. But this time, something goes wrong. The firework does not fly up. It stays on the ground and spins around. It makes a loud whirring noise and sparks fly everywhere.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They run away from the firework. They are too close to it. The sparks burn their clothes and hair. They scream and cry.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise and come outside. They see the firework and the smoke and the children. They are angry and worried. They put out the fire and take the children inside. They check their burns and bandage them. They hug them and tell them they are okay.
+
+They also tell them they are very naughty. They should never play with fireworks. They are dangerous and not toys. They should only watch them from far away with grown-ups. They should use their creativity for other things, like drawing or singing or building.
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They say they are sorry. They promise they will never play with fireworks again. They learn their lesson. They still love fireworks, but only from a safe distance.
+Tom and Lily were having lunch with their mom. They liked to eat pasta with cheese and tomato sauce. Mom gave them each a fork and a plate. Tom and Lily were playful. They made funny faces with their forks and pasta.
+
+"Look, Mom, I have a fork nose!" Tom said, putting the fork on his nose.
+
+"That's silly, Tom. I have a fork mouth!" Lily said, putting the fork in her mouth.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are very funny, but you also need to eat your pasta. It is yummy and good for you."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and started to eat. They liked the cheese and tomato sauce. They also liked to make slurping noises with their pasta.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bark outside. They looked out the window and saw a big dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. He had a red collar and a blue ball. He was jumping and running in the yard.
+
+"Wow, look at that dog!" Tom said, dropping his fork.
+
+"He is so cute and playful!" Lily said, forgetting her pasta.
+
+They stared at the dog with big eyes. They wanted to play with him. They wondered if he had a name and a home.
+
+Mom saw them staring and said, "That is Max. He is our new neighbor's dog. He moved in yesterday. Maybe we can go and say hello later, if you finish your lunch."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please, Mom. We want to meet Max. He looks like a fun friend."
+
+They picked up their forks and ate their pasta quickly. They hoped Max would like them too. They were excited to play with him.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together at the park. One day, they saw a big sign that said: "Fun Fair Today! Games, Rides, Prizes!" They ran to their moms and asked if they could go.
+
+"Sure, but you have to stay with us and be careful," their moms said. "And don't spend all your money on the games. They are very hard to win."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and followed their moms to the fair. They saw many colorful things and heard many loud noises. They rode on the merry-go-round, the slide, and the train. They ate cotton candy, popcorn, and ice cream. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Then they saw a game that looked very easy. It was called "Ring Toss". There were many bottles on a table and many rings on a hook. The man who ran the game said: "Throw a ring and win a prize! Any ring, any bottle, any prize! Only one dollar a try!"
+
+Lily and Ben wanted to play. They each had one dollar left. They looked at the prizes. There were dolls, cars, balls, and books. But there was one prize that they both wanted more than anything. It was a big, fluffy, rainbow unicorn. It was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen.
+
+"Can we have the unicorn if we win?" Lily asked the man.
+
+"Sure, if it's available," the man said. "But it's very popular. Someone might take it before you."
+
+Lily and Ben hoped that no one would take the unicorn. They gave the man their dollars and took their rings. They threw them as hard as they could. But none of their rings landed on a bottle. They all bounced off or fell on the ground.
+
+"Oh no, we lost!" Lily said.
+
+"Sorry, kids, better luck next time," the man said. "But you can have a consolation prize. Choose any of these small toys."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the small toys. They were not very nice. They were cheap and broken and dirty. They did not want them. They wanted the unicorn.
+
+They looked at the unicorn. It was still there. No one had taken it. It was still available.
+
+"Please, mister, can we have the unicorn instead?" Ben asked.
+
+The man looked at them. He saw their sad faces and their hopeful eyes. He felt sorry for them. He smiled and said: "You know what, kids, you can have the unicorn. You tried very hard and you were very polite. You deserve a special prize."
+
+Lily and Ben could not believe it. They were so happy. They thanked the man and hugged the unicorn. They shared it and played with it. They named it Sparkle. It was their favorite toy.
+
+They learned that sometimes, even if you lose, you can still win. And sometimes, the best prizes are the ones that you hope for.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big van in the garage. It was dull and dusty, but they thought it looked fun.
+
+"Let's use the van as a spaceship!" Sara said. "We can go to the moon and see the stars!"
+
+"OK!" Ben agreed. They climbed into the van and pretended to push buttons and turn wheels. They made noises like rockets and lasers.
+
+But then, they heard their dad coming. He was angry. He opened the door of the van and saw them inside.
+
+"What are you doing here?" he asked. "This is my work van. You are not allowed to use it. You could break something or hurt yourself. Get out now!"
+
+Sara and Ben felt scared and sorry. They got out of the van and said, "We're sorry, dad. We just wanted to play. We didn't mean to cause trouble."
+
+Dad sighed and looked at them. He was not so angry anymore. He said, "I know you were just playing, but you have to be careful. The van is not a toy. It is a tool. I use it to carry things and help people. You have to respect other people's things and ask before you use them. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "We understand, dad. We won't use the van again without asking. We're sorry."
+
+Dad smiled and hugged them. He said, "It's OK. I forgive you. But next time, why don't you use your imagination and make your own spaceship out of cardboard boxes and paper? That would be more fun and safe."
+
+Sara and Ben liked that idea. They said, "Thank you, dad. We love you."
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect other people's things and to use their imagination. They also learned that their dad loved them and wanted them to be happy and safe.
+Lily liked ice cream very much. She liked to eat it on hot days, or when she was sad, or when she was happy. She liked all kinds of ice cream, but her favorite was chocolate. She liked to lick it from a cone, and feel it melt in her mouth.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a man with a cart, who had many cones and ice cream. She asked her mom if she could have one. Her mom said yes, and gave her some money. Lily ran to the man, and said, "Please, can I have a cone with chocolate ice cream?"
+
+The man looked at Lily, and said, "No, you can't. I don't have any chocolate ice cream. I only have vanilla, and strawberry, and mint. You have to choose one of those, or go away."
+
+Lily felt very sad, and very angry. She liked vanilla, and strawberry, and mint, but she wanted chocolate. She said, "But I want chocolate. Why don't you have chocolate? That's not fair."
+
+The man said, "I don't care what you want. You can't have chocolate, because I don't have it. Stop being rude, and take what I have, or leave me alone."
+
+Lily felt tears in her eyes. She thought the man was very rude, and very mean. She didn't want to take what he had, or leave him alone. She wanted to have chocolate ice cream, and make him sorry. She remembered what her mom had taught her, about being polite, and sharing, and saying sorry. But she also remembered what her dad had taught her, about standing up for herself, and not letting people bully her, and being brave.
+
+She looked at the man, and said, "You are rude, and mean, and I don't like you. You should have chocolate ice cream, and you should share it, and you should say sorry. But you don't, and you won't, and you can't. So I will show you what I can do."
+
+She took the money from her mom, and threw it at the man. Then she grabbed a cone, and scooped some vanilla ice cream, and some strawberry ice cream, and some mint ice cream. She made a big mess, and a big pile. Then she smashed the cone on the man's head, and ran away.
+
+She ran to her mom, who was watching with a shocked face. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I was bad. But the man was rude, and mean, and he didn't have chocolate ice cream. I wanted to teach him a lesson."
+
+Her mom hugged her, and said, "Lily, I love you, but you can't do that. You can't throw money, or grab cones, or smash ice cream. That's not polite, or nice, or brave. That's rude, and mean, and silly. You have to say sorry to the man, and to me, and to yourself. And you have to learn to accept what you have, and not what you want. Maybe next time, you will find chocolate ice cream, and you will be happy. But today, you have to be sorry, and sad, and sorry."
+
+Lily nodded, and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry, me. I was rude, and mean, and silly. I will learn to accept what I have, and not what I want. But I still like chocolate ice cream, and I hope I will find it soon."
+
+Her mom smiled, and said, "I still love you, Lily. And I still like chocolate ice cream, too. And I hope we will find it soon, too. But for now, let's go home, and have some water, and some cookies, and some hugs. And maybe, we will remember this day, and laugh, and not cry."
+
+Lily smiled, and said, "OK, mom. Let's go home, and have some water, and some cookies, and some hugs. And maybe, we will remember this day, and laugh, and not cry. And maybe, we will find chocolate ice cream, and be happy, and not sad."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were happy to see their new house. They had many boxes to unpack. Mom and Dad said they could help.
+
+"Can I unpack this box?" Lily asked, pointing to a big one.
+
+"Sure, that's your box of toys," Mom said. "Be gentle with them, okay?"
+
+Lily opened the box and saw her favorite things. She had her doll, her teddy bear, her blocks, and her clay. She loved to play with clay. She could make anything with it.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have clay!" Lily said, showing her brother.
+
+"Wow, can I play with you?" Ben asked.
+
+"Okay, but you have to be gentle too," Lily said. "Clay is soft and can break."
+
+They took out some clay and put it on the floor. They started to make shapes and animals. Lily made a flower and Ben made a snake.
+
+"Look, Mom, we made clay things!" they said, holding up their creations.
+
+Mom smiled and praised them. "You are very good at making clay things," she said. "And you are very gentle with them. I'm proud of you."
+
+Lily and Ben felt happy. They liked their new house and their clay. They hugged Mom and thanked her. Then they went back to playing with their clay.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and a swing. They want to try them.
+
+"Let's go to the slide first," Tom says. "I want to go fast."
+
+"OK," Sam says. "But I want to go to the swing later."
+
+They run to the slide. There are many kids there. They have to wait for their turn. Tom and Sam are not happy. They want to slide now.
+
+"Look, there is a number on the slide," Tom says. He points to a sign. It says "4".
+
+"What does it mean?" Sam asks.
+
+"It means only four kids can slide at a time," Tom says. "We have to count."
+
+They start to count the kids on the slide. One, two, three, four. Then one kid slides down. Now there are three.
+
+"Quick, let's go!" Tom says. He pushes Sam to the slide. He follows him.
+
+But the other kids are not happy. They say Tom and Sam are not fair. They did not wait for their turn. They start to yell and cry.
+
+"Hey, you can't do that!" one kid says. "You have to go back!"
+
+"No, we don't!" Tom says. "We want to slide!"
+
+The kid gets angry. He runs to the slide. He tries to pull Tom and Sam off. He pushes them hard.
+
+Tom and Sam lose their balance. They fall off the slide. They hit the ground. They hurt their heads and knees. They start to cry too.
+
+Their moms hear the noise. They run to the slide. They see Tom and Sam on the ground. They see the other kids on the slide. They are not happy.
+
+"What happened?" Tom's mom asks.
+
+"They pushed us!" the kid says. "They did not wait for their turn!"
+
+"Is that true?" Sam's mom asks.
+
+Tom and Sam do not answer. They know they did something bad. They are sorry.
+
+Their moms pick them up. They check their wounds. They are not serious, but they are rare. They need some bandages and kisses.
+
+"Let's go home," Tom's mom says. "You need to rest and learn to share."
+
+Tom and Sam nod. They do not want to play anymore. They do not want to slide or swing. They are sad and ashamed.
+
+They say sorry to the other kids. They say sorry to their moms. They hold their hands. They walk to the car.
+
+They sit on their seats. They are quiet. They look out the window. They see the park. They see the slide and the swing. They wish they had been nice. They wish they had waited for their turn. They wish they had had fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big rubber ball that bounced high and made a loud noise. Ben had a small wooden car that rolled fast and made a soft noise. Lily liked to bounce her ball and make Ben look at her. Ben liked to roll his car and make Lily look at him.
+
+"Look at my ball, Ben!" Lily said, bouncing it hard on the floor. "It is so big and fun!"
+
+"Ignore her, car," Ben said, rolling his car on the couch. "She is so loud and silly!"
+
+Lily felt angry. She wanted Ben to play with her and her ball. She bounced her ball harder and harder, hoping Ben would notice. But Ben did not notice. He ignored her and her ball. He only played with his car and his couch.
+
+"Look at my car, Lily!" Ben said, rolling it down the cushion. "It is so fast and cool!"
+
+"Ignore him, ball," Lily said, bouncing it up the wall. "He is so slow and boring!"
+
+Ben felt angry. He wanted Lily to play with him and his car. He rolled his car faster and faster, hoping Lily would notice. But Lily did not notice. She ignored him and his car. She only played with her ball and her wall.
+
+They played like this for a long time, ignoring each other and their toys. They did not have fun. They did not laugh. They did not smile. They felt lonely and sad.
+
+Then, something happened. Lily bounced her ball too high and it hit the ceiling. The ball fell down and hit Ben's car. The car flew off the couch and hit Lily's ball. The ball and the car bounced and rolled together on the floor. They made a big noise and a big mess.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped playing. They looked at their toys. They looked at each other. They felt confused.
+
+"What happened?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said.
+
+They walked to their toys. They picked them up. They looked at them. They felt curious.
+
+"Can I see your ball?" Ben asked.
+
+"Can I see your car?" Lily asked.
+
+They swapped their toys. They felt their toys. They played with their toys. They felt happy.
+
+"Your ball is big and fun," Ben said.
+
+"Your car is fast and cool," Lily said.
+
+They smiled at each other. They decided to play together. They bounced the ball and rolled the car. They made a loud noise and a soft noise. They had fun. They laughed. They did not ignore. They were friends.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the birds and flowers. One day, they saw a big hill with a sign that said "Do not climb". Lila wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. Tom was scared and said no.
+
+"Come on, Tom, it will be fun!" Lila whispered. "Maybe we will find a new land with magic and treasure. The sign is just for grown-ups who are boring and mean. We are brave and smart."
+
+Tom did not think so. He thought Lila was foolish and did not listen to the rules. He did not want to get in trouble or get hurt. But he did not want to lose his friend either. He followed Lila as she ran to the hill and started to climb.
+
+The hill was steep and slippery. Lila and Tom had to hold on to rocks and roots. They got dirty and tired. They heard a loud noise and looked up. It was a plane flying over the hill. Lila and Tom were scared and ducked. They did not know that the plane was just a toy that a boy was flying in the park.
+
+They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They did not see a new land with magic and treasure. They only saw more hills and trees and houses. They felt sad and silly. They wished they had stayed in the park and played with the birds and flowers.
+
+They decided to go back down the hill and say sorry to the sign. They hoped no one had seen them. They learned their lesson and never climbed the hill again. They were still best friends, but they were more careful and wise.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big yellow truck. It has many boxes on it. Sara and Tom want to see what is inside the boxes.
+
+"Let's go and look," Sara says. "Maybe there are toys or candy."
+
+"OK," Tom says. "But we have to be quick. Mom will be angry if we are late for meal."
+
+They run to the truck. They climb on it. They open a box. It is full of books. They open another box. It is full of clothes. They open another box. It is full of food.
+
+"Wow," Sara says. "Look at all this food. There are apples and bananas and cookies and cheese. I love food. Do you want some?"
+
+"Yes," Tom says. "I love food too. Let's eat some. No one will know."
+
+They take some food from the box. They sit on the truck. They eat and eat. They are happy.
+
+But they do not see the man who drives the truck. He comes back from the store. He sees Sara and Tom on his truck. He sees the open boxes. He sees the food on the ground. He is very angry.
+
+"Hey, you little thieves!" he shouts. "What are you doing on my truck? How dare you touch my stuff? Get off my truck right now!"
+
+He runs to the truck. He grabs Sara and Tom. He throws them off the truck. He hits them with his hand. He kicks them with his foot. He calls the police.
+
+Sara and Tom are hurt. They are scared. They cry and cry. They wish they never saw the yellow truck. They wish they never ate the food. They wish they listened to Mom. They are in big trouble.
+Lily and her daddy were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. Lily saw a big hill with many rocks. She wanted to climb it.
+
+"Can we go there, daddy?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. But be careful. The rocks are sharp and hard," daddy said.
+
+They walked to the hill and started to climb. Lily found a small rock that was shiny and smooth. She picked it up and showed it to daddy.
+
+"Look, daddy! A pretty rock!" she said.
+
+"That's very nice, Lily. You can keep it if you want," daddy said.
+
+Lily smiled and put the rock in her pocket. She saw a bigger rock that was round and brown. She tried to lift it, but it was too heavy.
+
+"Daddy, help me! I want this rock too!" she said.
+
+Daddy came over and looked at the rock. He saw that it was stuck in the ground.
+
+"That's not a rock, Lily. That's a root. It belongs to the tree. We can't remove it," he said.
+
+"Why not, daddy?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because the tree needs it. The root helps the tree get water and food from the ground. If we remove it, the tree will be sad and sick," daddy said.
+
+"Oh, I don't want that. I like the tree. It gives us shade and leaves," Lily said.
+
+"Me too, Lily. The tree is mighty and beautiful. We should respect it and leave it alone," daddy said.
+
+They hugged the tree and said thank you. Then they climbed down the hill and continued to play. Lily was happy with her small rock and her daddy. She learned something new and had fun.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. One day, they discover a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's go and see!" says Lila. She is brave and curious.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" says Ben. He is cautious and careful.
+
+They crawl into the hole and see many things. They see rocks and roots and worms and bugs. They see shiny things and soft things and hard things. They see earth.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" says Lila. She picks up a round thing that is red and green and yellow. It is smooth and shiny. It is attractive.
+
+"What is it?" asks Ben. He picks up a similar thing that is blue and white and brown. It is also smooth and shiny. It is attractive.
+
+"I don't know," says Lila. "But they are pretty. Maybe they are jewels or treasures."
+
+"Maybe," says Ben. "Or maybe they are planets. Like the ones we see in the sky at night."
+
+They hold the things in their hands and pretend they are astronauts. They explore the hole and find more things. They have fun and learn new things. They discover earth.
+Anna and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they like the phone best. The phone is old and does not work, but they pretend to call their friends and family.
+
+"Hello, is this Lily?" Anna whispers into the phone. She holds it to her ear and smiles.
+
+"Yes, this is Lily. How are you, Anna?" Ben whispers back. He is hiding under the bed with the other end of the phone.
+
+"I am good, Lily. I am playing with Ben. He is my brother. Do you want to play with us?" Anna whispers.
+
+"Sure, I want to play with you. What are you playing?" Ben whispers.
+
+"We are playing phone. We can talk to anyone we want. It is fun. Do you have a phone, Lily?" Anna whispers.
+
+"No, I don't have a phone. But I have a doll. She is clean and pretty. Do you have a doll, Anna?" Ben whispers.
+
+"Yes, I have a doll. She is clean and pretty too. Her name is Rose. Do you want to see her, Lily?" Anna whispers.
+
+"Yes, I want to see her. Can you show me, Anna?" Ben whispers.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Wait a minute. I will get her for you." Anna whispers. She puts down the phone and runs to her closet. She opens the door and looks for her doll.
+
+But she does not see her doll. She sees something else. Something big and furry and scary. It is a bear! The bear growls and shows its teeth. Anna screams and slams the door.
+
+"Anna, what is wrong? What did you see?" Ben whispers. He crawls out from under the bed and runs to Anna. He hugs her and tries to calm her down.
+
+"Ben, there is a bear in the closet! A big, bad bear! It wants to eat us!" Anna whispers. She is shaking and crying.
+
+"A bear? In the closet? Are you sure, Anna?" Ben whispers. He does not believe her. He thinks she is joking.
+
+"Yes, I am sure, Ben. I saw it with my eyes. It is not a joke. It is real. We have to call for help!" Anna whispers. She picks up the phone and dials a number.
+
+"Hello, is this Mommy?" Anna whispers into the phone. She hopes Mommy will hear her and come to save them.
+
+But Mommy does not hear her. Mommy is downstairs, cooking dinner. She does not know that Anna and Ben are playing with the phone. She does not know that there is a bear in the closet. She does not know that Anna and Ben are in trouble.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big cage with a parrot inside. The parrot had many colors and a long tail. It looked very fancy.
+
+"Hello, parrot!" Lily said. "What is your name?"
+
+The parrot did not answer. It just made a loud noise.
+
+"Maybe he is shy," Ben said. "Or maybe he is hungry. Let's find some food for him."
+
+They looked around and saw some nuts on a tree. They picked some and set them on the ground near the cage.
+
+"Here, parrot, have some nuts," Ben said. "They are yummy and good for you."
+
+The parrot looked at the nuts. He came closer and pecked at them. He liked them very much. He made a happy noise.
+
+"Thank you, kids," the parrot said. "My name is Coco. You are very nice."
+
+Lily and Ben were surprised. The parrot could talk!
+
+"Wow, Coco, you can talk!" Lily said. "That is so cool. Can you say more words?"
+
+Coco nodded. He repeated some words that Lily and Ben said. He also said some words that he learned from his owner. He said hello, bye, good, bad, pretty, and funny.
+

+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to explore new places. One day, they went with their mom to a big building where she had to work. Mom said they could play in the lobby while she talked to some people.
+
+The lobby had many chairs, plants, and paintings, but Tim and Lily were more interested in the elevator. It was a big metal box with a door and buttons. They wanted to see what was inside and where it could take them.
+
+"Let's go in the elevator!" Tim said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful," Lily said.
+
+They waited until no one was looking and ran to the elevator. They pushed the door button and the door opened. They stepped inside and saw many more buttons with numbers and arrows.
+
+"Wow, look at all these buttons!" Tim said. "Which one should we push?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe this one?" Lily said, pointing to a button with a big number 10.
+
+"OK, let's try it!" Tim said, and pushed the button.
+
+The door closed and the elevator started to move. Tim and Lily felt their tummies tickle as the elevator went up and up and up. They looked at each other and giggled.
+
+They reached the tenth floor and the door opened. They saw a long hallway with many doors and windows. They wanted to see what was behind them, but they heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, who are you?" the voice said.
+
+They turned around and saw a man in a suit and a tie. He looked angry and surprised. He was holding a folder and a pen.
+
+"We are Tim and Lily," Tim said.
+
+"What are you doing here? This is a private office. You can't just come here without permission," the man said.
+
+"We are sorry. We just wanted to see the elevator," Lily said.
+
+"The elevator? That's not a toy. That's a machine. It can be dangerous if you don't know how to use it," the man said.
+
+He walked to the elevator and pushed the door button. He looked at Tim and Lily and said, "You should go back to the lobby. Where is your mom?"
+
+"She is working. She said we could play in the lobby," Tim said.
+
+"Well, you should listen to your mom. She knows what's best for you. And you should be humble and not touch things that are not yours," the man said.
+
+He pointed to the button with a big number 1 and said, "This is the button you need to push to go back to the lobby. I recommend you do that right now."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded and pushed the button. The door closed and the elevator started to move. They felt their tummies tickle again as the elevator went down and down and down.
+
+They reached the lobby and the door opened. They saw their mom waiting for them. She looked worried and happy.
+
+"Tim, Lily, where have you been? I was looking for you," she said.
+
+"We went to the elevator," Tim said.
+
+"We saw the tenth floor," Lily said.
+
+"You did what? That's very naughty. You could have gotten lost or hurt. You should never go to the elevator without me," mom said.
+
+She hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're safe. But you have to promise me you won't do that again. OK?"
+
+"OK, mom. We promise," Tim and Lily said.
+
+They learned their lesson and never went to the elevator again. They played with their toys and books in the lobby and waited for mom to finish her work. They were humble and happy.

+One day, Sara and her mom went to the park. They saw a big slide that looked fun. Sara wanted to go on the slide, but her mom said no. She said the slide was too high and too fast for Sara. She said Sara could get hurt if she went on the slide. She said Sara was very important to her and she did not want her to get hurt.
+
+But Sara did not listen to her mom. She thought her mom was being silly and mean. She wanted to have fun and laugh on the slide. She waited until her mom was talking to another mom. Then she ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and saw how high and fast the slide was. She felt scared, but she did not want to go back.

+
+But Tom and Lily liked the rain. They wanted to splash in the puddles and make boats with leaves. They did not want to go inside and play with their toys.
+

+
+One day, they wanted to finish the puzzle, but they could not find the last piece. They looked under the bed, in the closet, and in the drawers, but they could not see it. They started to feel sad and angry.

+
+"Max, no! That's ours!" Lily said.
+
+"Give it back! It's not food!" Ben said.
+
+They tried to take the piece from Max, but he was tough. He held on to it and shook his head. He did not want to let go. He thought it was a game.
+
+Lily and Ben did not think it was funny. They were worried that Max would choke on the piece. They knew they had to be gentle, but firm. They decided to work together and distract Max.
+
+"Look, Max, look!" Lily said. She pointed to a stuffed lion that was on the shelf. "It's a lion. It roars. Can you roar?"

+
+"Go away, rabbit!" Leo yelled. "You can't have our radishes! They are ours!"

+
+Lily and Tom were frightened. They dropped the bucket and the spade. They ran away from the dog. They hid behind a bench. They held each other's hands.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily shouted. "Leave our castle alone!"

She would play the violin when her dad was working. She would make loud and funny noises with the violin. She thought it was fun, but it made everyone else unhappy.
+

+Tom and Lily stopped and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed. They knew they had done something bad.
+
+"We were playing with our cars, but then we crashed and got angry," Tom said.
+
+"We wanted to have the best car, but then we hurt each other's cars," Lily said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She picked up their cars and gave them back to them.
+
+"Playing with cars can be fun, but not when you are selfish and rude," she said. "You should share and be nice to each other. That's what good friends do."
+
+She pointed to the kitchen table. There was a big plate of cheese and crackers.
+

+
+Tom and Sam nodded. They liked to help mom cook. They followed her to the counter. Mom gave them each a bowl and a spoon. She showed them how to mix flour and eggs and milk. They made a batter for pancakes.

+
+"Where are you, Mia?" He calls. "I give up!"

+Lily ran over to see. She gasped. The crystal was so pretty. It had many colors inside it, like a rainbow. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can I see, Max? Can I hold it?" she asked.
+
+Max nodded. He gave the crystal to Lily. She smiled and rubbed it with her fingers. It felt smooth and cold.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily tripped over a root and fell down. She dropped the crystal. It landed on the grass and got dirty.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "The crystal is all dirty! It's not pretty anymore!"
+
+Max helped Lily get up. He saw the crystal on the ground. He picked it up and wiped it with his shirt. He tried to make it clean again.
+
+"Don't cry, Lily," he said. "The crystal is still pretty. Look, it still sparkles. It's just a little dirty. That's normal. Everything gets dirty sometimes. We can wash it later."
+
+Lily sniffed. She looked at the crystal. She saw that Max was right. The crystal still sparkled. It was still pretty. She felt better.
+
+"Thank you, Max," she said. "You are a good friend. Can we share the crystal?"
+
+Max smiled. He hugged Lily. He was happy that she was happy.
+
+"Of course we can share the crystal," he said. "It's our special find. We can keep it in our treasure box. Come on, let's go show Mom and Dad."
+
+They ran to the house, holding the crystal. They were very proud of their discovery. They had a lot of fun playing in the garden.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many flowers in the park. Lily likes the yellow flowers. Ben likes the red flowers.
+
+"Look, Lily, a sunflower!" Ben says. He points to a big yellow flower. It is taller than Ben. "It is so pretty!"
+
+Lily runs to the sunflower. She wants to touch it. She reaches up with her hand. But the sunflower is too high. She cannot touch it. She feels sad.
+
+"Ben, help me!" Lily says. "I want to touch the sunflower!"
+
+Ben runs to Lily. He has an idea. He finds a big rock. He lifts the rock. It is heavy. He puts the rock near the sunflower. He climbs on the rock. He is higher now.
+
+"Lily, come here!" Ben says. He holds out his hand. "I can help you!"
+
+Lily climbs on the rock too. She takes Ben's hand. She stands on her toes. She touches the sunflower. It is soft and warm. She smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Ben!" Lily says. "You are a good friend!"
+
+Ben smiles too. He is happy. He and Lily hug. They look at the sunflower. They see a bee. The bee is busy. It likes the sunflower too.
+Tim and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a robot. The robot can talk and move and make funny sounds. Tim and Mia call him Robby.
+
+One day, Tim and Mia are playing with Robby in their room. They make him walk and dance and sing. They are very happy. But then, their mom comes in and says, "Time to clean up, kids. Put your toys away and get ready for dinner."
+
+Tim and Mia do not want to stop playing. They say, "No, mom. We want to play more. Robby is fun."
+
+Mom says, "You can play later, after dinner. But now you have to tidy up. Robby is fragile. He can break if you leave him on the floor."
+
+Tim and Mia resist. They say, "No, mom. Robby is strong. He can not break. He is our friend."
+
+Mom says, "I know, but he is still a toy. And toys need to be taken care of. Come on, help me put him in his box. He will be safe there."
+
+Tim and Mia look at Robby. He looks at them and says, "I am your friend. But I also need to rest. Please put me in my box. I will wait for you."
+
+Tim and Mia feel sad. They love Robby. But they also love their mom. They decide to listen to her. They hug Robby and say, "Bye, Robby. We will play with you later. We love you."
+
+They put Robby in his box and help mom clean up. Mom smiles and says, "Thank you, kids. You are very good. Now let's go have dinner."
+
+Tim and Mia nod and follow mom. They are hungry. They think about Robby and hope he is not lonely. They promise to play with him again soon.
+Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and crayons. They liked to make pictures and stories with them. But they did not like to share.
+
+Tom saw a big book with many animals. He wanted to look at it. But Lily had it first. She said, "This is mine. You can have the other book."
+
+Tom was angry. He said, "No, I want this book. Give it to me." He tried to take it from Lily.
+
+Lily was angry too. She said, "No, this is mine. You can have the scissors." She pushed Tom away.
+
+Tom did not want the scissors. He wanted the book. He shouted, "Give me the book. Give me the book now."
+
+Lily shouted back, "No, no, no. Go away. Go away now."
+
+Their mom heard them shouting. She came to their room. She saw them fighting over the book. She saw the scissors on the floor. She was scared. She said, "Stop, stop, stop. What are you doing? You could hurt each other with the scissors. You have to share and be nice."
+
+Tom and Lily stopped shouting. They looked at their mom. They looked at the book. They looked at the scissors. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were not nice. We will share and be nice."
+
+Their mom smiled. She said, "That's good. I'm glad you are sorry. Now, why don't you look at the book together? You can learn about the animals. And you can use the scissors to cut out some shapes. But be careful. And ask me if you need help."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom." They hugged their mom. Then they looked at the book together. They learned about the animals. They used the scissors to cut out some shapes. They were careful. They asked their mom if they needed help. They had fun. They were happy. They were nice.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big box with some nails and a hammer. Sara wanted to make something with the nails. Ben said no, it was bad to play with nails. They could hurt themselves.
+
+But Sara did not listen. She took a nail and a hammer and tried to hit the nail on the box. She missed the nail and hit her finger. She cried out loud. It hurt a lot. She dropped the hammer and the nail.
+
+Ben ran to her and hugged her. He said he was sorry. He said they should go to mom and dad. They would make her finger better.
+
+Sara nodded. She was very sad. She regretted playing with the nail. She wished she had listened to Ben. She said she was sorry too. She said she would not play with nails again.
+
+They held hands and walked to the house. Mom and dad saw them and asked what happened. They told them the truth. Mom and dad were not angry. They were glad they were honest. They cleaned Sara's finger and put a band-aid on it. They gave them a hug and a kiss. They said they loved them. Sara and Ben felt better. They learned a lesson. They decided to play with safer things.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but she did not like to share them with anyone. One day, her aunt came to visit her. Her aunt brought a gift for Lily, a big and soft teddy bear.
+
+Lily was very happy to see the teddy bear. She grabbed it from her aunt and hugged it. She said, "Thank you, aunt, this is my teddy bear. It is only mine. No one can touch it."
+
+Her aunt smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily, but you know, toys are more fun when you share them with others. Maybe you can let your cousin play with your teddy bear when he comes over later. He likes teddy bears too."
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, aunt, this is my teddy bear. It is only mine. No one can touch it."
+
+Her aunt sighed and said, "Okay, Lily, but remember, being selfish is not nice. Sharing is caring."
+
+Later, Lily's cousin came over. He saw the teddy bear and said, "Wow, Lily, what a nice teddy bear. Can I play with it?"
+
+Lily said, "No, this is my teddy bear. It is only mine. No one can touch it."
+
+Her cousin felt sad and said, "But Lily, I just want to play with it for a little while. Please, can I hold it?"
+
+Lily said, "No, this is my teddy bear. It is only mine. No one can touch it."
+
+Her cousin got angry and said, "Fine, Lily, you are a mean and greedy girl. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+He ran away and left Lily alone with her teddy bear. Lily felt lonely and bored. She looked at her teddy bear and said, "You are my teddy bear. You are only mine. No one can touch you. But you are not fun. You are not wild. You do not talk. You do not laugh. You do not play. You are just a toy."
+
+She realized that her teddy bear was not a real friend. She wished she had shared it with her cousin. She wished she had been nice and caring. She wished she had not been selfish and greedy. She learned a lesson. She decided to say sorry to her cousin and her aunt. She decided to share her toys with others. She decided to be a good and kind girl.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their balloons in the park. They liked to blow them up and let them go. They watched the balloons fly up in the sky and make funny noises.
+
+"Look, Lily, my balloon is red like a fire truck!" Ben said.
+
+"Mine is yellow like a sunflower!" Lily said.
+
+They blew up more balloons and released them. They laughed and clapped their hands.
+
+But then, a cop came over to them. He had a blue uniform and a shiny badge. He looked serious.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you know what you are doing?" he asked.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped playing. They felt scared. They did not know what they did wrong.
+
+"We are playing with balloons, sir," Lily said.
+
+"Balloons are fun, but they can also be dangerous," the cop said. "When you release them, they can go very far and hurt animals or people. They can also make a lot of trash and pollute the air."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not think about that. They felt sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, sir. We did not know," Ben said.
+
+The cop smiled. He was not angry. He was thoughtful.
+
+"It's okay, kids. You did not mean to do anything bad. But now you know better, right?" he said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They did know better.
+
+"Can we keep our balloons, sir?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can keep them. But don't release them anymore, okay? You can play with them in other ways. You can make shapes or animals or hats with them. Or you can give them to someone who needs a smile," the cop said.
+
+Lily and Ben liked those ideas. They thanked the cop and gave him a hug. They decided to give some of their balloons to the other kids in the park. They made new friends and had more fun. They learned a new word and a new lesson. They were happy.
+Sara liked to display her toys on the shelf. She had a doll, a bear, a car and a book. She was proud of her toys and wanted to show them to everyone.
+
+One day, her grandma came to visit. Grandma brought a big bunch of flowers for Sara's mom. They were white and pink and smelled nice. Sara saw a flower that looked like a star. It was a lily. She wanted to have it for herself.
+
+She waited until grandma and mom were talking in the kitchen. Then she sneaked into the living room and took the lily from the vase. She ran to her room and put the lily on the shelf next to her doll. She smiled and thought it was very pretty.
+
+But soon, the lily started to wilt. Its petals turned brown and fell off. Its stem bent and drooped. Sara felt sad and confused. She didn't know why the lily was dying. She thought it would be happy on the shelf with her toys.
+
+She also felt uncomfortable. She knew she had done something wrong. She had taken the lily without asking. She had made grandma and mom unhappy. She wished she could make the lily alive again and put it back in the vase.
+
+She decided to tell the truth. She took the lily and went to the kitchen. She said sorry to grandma and mom and gave them the lily. They hugged her and said they forgave her. They explained that the lily needed water and light to live, not a shelf. They also said that they loved her and were glad that she was honest.
+
+Sara felt better. She learned a lesson. She never took flowers again without permission. She also learned to display her toys in a different way. She shared them with her friends and played with them together. She had more fun and made more memories.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They hear a loud noise outside. They look out the window and see a big truck. The truck has a sign that says "order". The truck stops in front of their house.
+
+"Look, Ben, the truck is here!" Anna says. "Maybe it has something for us!"
+
+They run to the door and wait for the truck driver. The truck driver gets out and opens the back of the truck. He takes out a big box. The box has a sticker that says "fragile". He carries the box to the door.
+
+"Hello, kids, I have a delivery for you," the truck driver says. "Is your mom or dad home?"
+
+"Yes, they are in the kitchen," Ben says. "We will call them."
+
+They run to the kitchen and tell their mom and dad that the truck driver has a box for them. Their mom and dad come to the door and sign for the box. They thank the truck driver and take the box inside.
+
+"What is in the box, mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"It's a surprise, honey," mom says. "We will open it together."
+
+They go to the living room and put the box on the floor. They carefully cut the tape and open the box. Inside, they find a beautiful dollhouse. The dollhouse has many rooms, furniture, and dolls. It is very colorful and detailed.
+
+"Wow, it's amazing!" Anna says. "Is it for me?"
+
+"Yes, it is, sweetie," dad says. "It's a gift from your grandma. She made it for you with love."
+
+Anna hugs her mom and dad and thanks them. She is very happy. She loves her grandma and her new dollhouse.
+
+"Can I play with it, too?" Ben asks.
+
+"Of course, you can, brother," Anna says. "But we have to be gentle. It's fragile."
+
+They start to play with the dollhouse. They make up stories and have fun. They forget about the noise outside. They don't notice that it starts to rain. They are too busy with their new toy. They are very happy.
+Lily liked to play with her toys, but she did not like to share them. She had many toys, but her favorite was a cone that made sounds and lights when she pressed a button. She always kept the cone in her room and never let anyone touch it.
+
+One day, her cousin Sam came to visit. Sam was younger than Lily and he liked to explore. He saw the cone on Lily's bed and wanted to play with it. He reached for the cone, but Lily saw him and shouted, "No! That's mine! Go away!" She grabbed the cone and shut the door in Sam's face.
+
+Sam felt sad and hurt. He did not understand why Lily was so mean. He went to the living room and found some other toys to play with. He found a ball, a car, a doll, and a book. He had fun with them and shared them with Lily's mom and dad.
+
+Lily heard Sam laughing and wondered what he was doing. She opened the door and peeked outside. She saw Sam playing happily with the other toys and her parents. She felt a little jealous and curious. She wanted to join them, but she also wanted to keep her cone.
+
+She decided to take her cone with her and go to the living room. She hoped that Sam would not touch it again. She walked slowly and carefully, holding the cone close to her chest. But as she reached the stairs, she tripped and fell. The cone flew out of her hands and landed on the floor with a loud crash. It broke into many pieces. It did not make any sounds or lights anymore.
+
+Lily cried and cried. She had lost her favorite toy. She wished she had been nicer to Sam and shared her cone with him. Maybe then it would not have broken. She realized that being selfish and rude was not a good way to treat others. She learned that toys are fragile, but friendship is strong. She said sorry to Sam and asked him to play with her. Sam forgave her and hugged her. They played together and had fun. Lily's mom and dad smiled and praised them. They were proud of their children.
+Lily liked to do things by herself. She was independent. She did not need help from Mom or Dad or her big brother Tom. She could put on her shoes, brush her teeth, and make her bed.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to reach a book on the top shelf. She saw a chair in the kitchen. She dragged the chair to the bookcase. She climbed on the chair and stretched her arm. But the book was still too high. She stood on her toes and leaned forward. She almost had it.
+
+"Be careful, Lily!" Tom said. He came into the room and saw Lily on the chair. "You might fall and hurt yourself. Let me get the book for you."
+
+"No!" Lily said. She did not want Tom to help her. She wanted to get the book by herself. She seemed angry. She pushed Tom away. She reached for the book again.
+
+But then, the chair wobbled. Lily lost her balance. She screamed. Tom caught her before she fell. He hugged her and put her down. He gave her the book.
+
+"Thank you, Tom," Lily said. She felt scared and sorry. She hugged Tom back. She realized that sometimes, she needed help from others. She was independent, but not always.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big castle made of sand. It had towers and flags and a door. Lily and Max wanted to play with the castle.
+
+"Can we go to the castle?" Lily asked Max.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Max said.
+
+They ran to the castle. But when they got there, they saw a boy sitting next to it. He had a bucket and a shovel. He looked angry.
+
+"This is my castle!" the boy said. "Go away!"
+
+Lily and Max stopped. They felt sad. They wanted to play with the castle, but the boy did not want to share.
+
+"Please, can we play with you?" Lily asked. "Your castle is very nice."
+
+"No!" the boy said. "It is mine! I made it!"
+
+He picked up his shovel and hit the castle. He broke one of the towers. Sand flew everywhere.
+
+Lily and Max gasped. They saw the castle fall apart. They felt angry. The boy was mean. He ruined the castle.
+
+"Stop it!" Max said. "You are bad!"
+
+He pushed the boy. The boy pushed him back. They started to fight.
+
+Lily did not like fighting. She wanted to play. She looked around. She saw another castle. It was smaller, but it was still nice. It had flowers and shells on it. It looked peaceful.
+
+Lily walked to the other castle. She gazed at it. She smiled. She saw a girl sitting next to it. She had a hat and a doll. She looked friendly.
+
+"Hello," Lily said. "Can I play with you?"
+
+"Hello," the girl said. "Yes, you can. This is my castle. Do you like it?"
+
+"I like it very much," Lily said. "It is beautiful."
+
+"Thank you," the girl said. "Do you want to help me decorate it?"
+
+"Yes, please," Lily said.
+
+They took some more flowers and shells and put them on the castle. They made it more beautiful. They talked and laughed. They had fun.
+
+Lily and Max forgot about the boy and his broken castle. They played with the girl and her pretty castle. They were happy. They made a new friend.
+Tim and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toys and eat snacks. But sometimes they fight over who gets what. One day, their mom makes meat for lunch. She puts two plates on the table, one for Tim and one for Tom.
+
+"Here you go, boys. Eat your meat and veggies. They are good for you," mom says.
+
+Tim and Tom run to the table. They both want the bigger piece of meat. They grab the same plate and pull.
+
+"Let go! This is mine!" Tim shouts.
+
+"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Tom yells.
+
+They tug and tug until the plate falls to the floor. The meat and veggies splatter everywhere. Mom hears the noise and comes back.
+
+"What happened here?" mom asks. She is angry.
+
+"Tim is selfish! He took my meat!" Tom says.
+
+"No, Tom is selfish! He took my meat!" Tim says.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She is disappointed.
+
+"Boys, boys. You should share and be nice to each other. Meat is not the most important thing. Love is. Now you have no meat and no lunch. And you have to clean up this mess. I don't permit you to fight like this. Do you understand?" mom says.
+
+Tim and Tom look at each other. They feel sorry. They nod.
+
+"Yes, mom. We understand. We are sorry," they say.
+
+They hug and say sorry to each other. They help mom clean up the floor. They eat some bread and cheese instead. They learn their lesson. They promise to be less selfish and more loving. Mom smiles and hugs them. She is proud.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. But today, they have a task. Mom says they have to clean their room before they can go outside.
+
+Ben and Lily look at their room. It is very messy. There are toys, books, clothes, and papers everywhere. They do not know where to start. They think the task is very difficult.
+
+"I don't want to clean," Ben says. "Me neither," Lily says. "Can we just play?" They worry that Mom will be angry if they do not do the task.
+
+Spot barks and wags his tail. He wants to play, too. He picks up a toy car and runs around the room. He knocks over a pile of books and makes more mess.
+
+"Spot, no!" Ben and Lily shout. "You are making it worse!"
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees the mess and Spot with the toy car. She is not happy.
+
+"Ben and Lily, what are you doing?" Mom asks. "You are supposed to clean your room, not make it more messy. And Spot, you are not helping. Drop the toy car, please."
+
+Ben and Lily feel sorry. They know they have to do the task. They drop their toys and start to pick up the mess. Spot drops the toy car and sits on the bed. He looks sad.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry," Ben and Lily say. "We will clean our room. Can we still go outside after?"
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. "Yes, you can go outside after you finish the task. But you have to do it well and fast. And Spot, you can go outside, too, but you have to behave. No more making messes, okay?"
+
+Spot barks and wags his tail. He is happy. Ben and Lily are happy, too. They work together to clean their room. They think the task is not so difficult when they help each other. They finish the task and go outside with Spot. They play and have fun. They do not worry anymore.
+Lily loved to read books. She had many books in her room. She liked to read about animals, and princesses, and cars. She read every day before bed.
+
+One day, Lily saw a poster. It said there was a parade in the park. The parade had floats, and balloons, and music. Lily was eager to go. She asked her mom if they could go.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the parade?" Lily said.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, we can't go today. I have to work. Maybe next time," Mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted to see the parade. She did not want to stay home. She cried.
+
+Mom hugged Lily. She said, "I know you are sad, but I have an idea. Why don't you read a book about a parade? You can imagine you are there. You can see the floats, and the balloons, and the music in your mind."
+
+Lily stopped crying. She thought about it. She said, "OK, Mom. I will read a book about a parade. Maybe it will be fun."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Good girl. I will be back soon. I love you."
+
+Lily went to her room. She found a book about a parade. She opened it. She saw pictures of floats, and balloons, and music. She read the words. She imagined she was there. She felt happy. She read until Mom came back.
+Lily liked to go to the gym with her mom. She liked to play with the balls and the mats and the ropes. But she did not like to share with the other kids. She wanted to have all the toys for herself.
+
+One day, a boy named Ben came to the gym with his dad. He saw Lily playing with a big red ball. He asked her if he could play with it too. Lily said no. She hugged the ball and ran away. Ben was sad. He wanted to play with the ball.
+
+Ben was persistent. He followed Lily around the gym. He asked her again and again if he could play with the ball. Lily said no every time. She got angry. She threw the ball at Ben. It hit him in the face. He cried.
+
+Lily's mom saw what happened. She was not happy. She told Lily to say sorry to Ben and to share the ball. Lily did not want to. She pouted. She said no.
+
+Lily's mom had an idea. She told Lily to reverse the roles. She asked her how she would feel if Ben had the ball and did not let her play with it. She asked her how she would feel if Ben threw the ball at her. Lily thought about it. She felt bad. She realized she was not nice to Ben.
+
+Lily went to Ben. She said sorry. She gave him the ball. She asked him if he wanted to play with her. Ben smiled. He said yes. He wiped his tears. He thanked her. They played with the ball together. They had fun.
+
+Lily's mom was proud of Lily. She hugged her. She told her she did a good job. Lily was happy. She learned to share. She made a new friend.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big animal with a long neck. It is a giraffe.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna says. "It has a long, long neck. How can it eat the leaves?"
+
+Ben says, "Maybe it can stretch its neck very high. Or maybe it can bend its neck very low. Let's go and see."
+
+They run to the giraffe. The giraffe is friendly. It lowers its neck and lets them touch it. It feels soft and warm.
+
+"Hello, giraffe," Anna says. "You have a nice neck. Can you tell us how you eat the leaves?"
+
+The giraffe says, "I can eat the leaves in different ways. Sometimes I stretch my neck high and reach the top of the trees. Sometimes I bend my neck low and nibble the grass. Sometimes I eat the leaves that people give me. I like all kinds of leaves."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They spend a long time with the giraffe. They give it some leaves and some water. They hug it and thank it.
+
+"Goodbye, giraffe," they say. "We had fun with you. You are a good friend."
+
+The giraffe says, "Goodbye, Anna and Ben. You are good friends too. Come and visit me again."
+
+Anna and Ben wave to the giraffe. They go back to their parents. They tell them about the giraffe and its long neck. They say they want to see it again. Their parents smile and say they will.
+Lena and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. They also liked to water the plants and watch them grow.
+
+One day, they saw a big green ball in the dirt. They wondered what it was. They decided to dig it out and see.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy," said Lena.
+
+"Maybe it is a rock," said Ben.
+
+They dug and dug until they could lift the green ball out of the dirt. It was heavy and round and had stripes on it.
+
+They rolled it to the grass and looked at it.
+
+"What is it?" asked Lena.
+
+"I don't know," said Ben.
+
+They saw a small hole on the top of the green ball. They peeked inside and saw something red and juicy.
+
+They smelled it and it smelled sweet and fresh.
+
+They tasted it and it tasted yummy and cool.
+
+They smiled and laughed.
+
+"It is a melon!" said Lena.
+
+"It is a fruit!" said Ben.
+
+They ate the melon and shared it with their mom and dad. They were happy and full.
+
+They thanked the garden for giving them a surprise.
+
+They learned a new word: reveal.
+
+Reveal means to show something that was hidden.
+
+The garden revealed a melon to them.
+
+They liked to reveal new things in the garden. They thought the garden was lively and fun.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big pole with a sign on it. The sign said "Do not climb". Lily wanted to climb the pole. She thought it would be fun. Tom did not want to climb the pole. He thought it would be dangerous.
+
+"Come on, Tom, let's climb the pole!" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily, we should not climb the pole. The sign says no. We could fall and hurt ourselves." Tom said.
+
+Lily did not listen to Tom. She ran to the pole and grabbed it. She tried to pull herself up. But the pole was slippery and hard. She could not climb the pole. She slid down and fell on the ground. She scraped her knee and started to cry.
+
+Tom ran to Lily and helped her up. He saw blood on her knee. He was frightened. He did not like blood. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She was sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. You were right. I should not have climbed the pole. I was silly. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Of course I can forgive you, Lily. You are my friend. But next time, let's resist the pole, okay?"
+
+Lily smiled back. She said, "Okay, Tom. Let's resist the pole. And let's go to the nurse and get a band-aid for my knee."
+
+They held hands and walked to the nurse. They learned their lesson. They did not climb the pole again.
+Sara loves to play with her ball. She kicks it and throws it and rolls it on the ground. She likes to make it go fast and far. Sometimes she runs after it and tries to catch it before it stops.
+
+One day, Sara is playing with her ball in the park. She sees a big hill and thinks it would be fun to roll her ball down it. She runs to the top of the hill and pushes her ball hard. It goes very fast and very far. Sara is happy and wants to get her ball back.
+
+She starts to run down the hill, but she does not see the big rock in her way. She trips over the rock and falls to the ground. She feels a terrible pain in her knee. She cries and cries. She wants her mommy.
+
+Her mommy hears her cry and rushes to her. She picks her up and hugs her. She sees the blood on her knee and says, "Oh, Sara, you have a boo-boo. Let me clean it and put a band-aid on it. It will be okay."
+
+She takes Sara to the bench and wipes her knee with a wet cloth. She puts a band-aid on it and kisses it. She says, "There, all better. Do you want to play with your ball some more?"
+
+Sara shakes her head. She says, "No, thank you. I don't like the hill. It is too fast and too far. I want to play on the slide. It is slow and safe."
+
+Her mommy smiles and says, "Okay, let's go to the slide. But be careful, okay?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Okay, mommy. I will be careful. I love you."
+
+Her mommy says, "I love you too, Sara." They hold hands and walk to the slide. Sara forgets about her boo-boo and has fun again.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big kangaroo near the fence. The kangaroo had a baby in her pouch. Lily and Ben wanted to see the baby, so they ran to the fence.
+
+"Hello, kangaroo!" Lily said. "Can we see your baby?"
+
+The kangaroo looked at them and made a loud noise. She did not like strangers near her baby. She kicked the fence with her strong legs. Lily and Ben were scared, but they did not go away.
+
+"Come on, Ben, don't be afraid," Lily said. "We just want to say hi. Maybe the kangaroo will let us touch her baby."
+
+Lily tried to encourage Ben, but Ben was not sure. He thought the kangaroo was angry and dangerous. He wanted to go back to the swings.
+
+"Lily, let's go," Ben said. "The kangaroo does not want us here. She might hurt us."
+
+But Lily was impatient. She did not listen to Ben. She climbed over the fence and walked to the kangaroo. She reached out her hand to touch the baby.
+
+"Look, Ben, she is so cute!" Lily said.
+
+But the kangaroo did not like Lily touching her baby. She felt Lily was a threat. She turned around and kicked Lily hard. Lily fell to the ground and cried. She was hurt and bleeding.
+
+Ben was shocked and scared. He ran to Lily and tried to help her. He called for help. The kangaroo ran away with her baby.
+
+Lily and Ben learned a hard lesson. They should not bother animals that do not want to be bothered. They should listen to their friends and be careful. They should not be impatient and do things that are not safe.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But today they are bored. They want to do something new.
+
+"Let's look at the roof," Tom says. He points to the window. "Maybe we can see the stars or the moon."
+
+"Okay," Lily says. She likes stars and moon. They are shiny and pretty. She follows Tom to the window. They climb on the bed and look up.
+
+But they do not see stars or moon. They see a big hole in the roof. They see rain and wind. They see a branch from the tree. The branch is stuck in the hole.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. She is scared. She thinks the branch will fall on them. She thinks the rain will wet them. She thinks the wind will blow them away.
+
+"Don't worry," Tom says. He is brave. He thinks the branch is fun. He thinks the rain is cool. He thinks the wind is funny. He wants to touch the branch. He reaches out his hand.
+
+But before he can touch the branch, they hear a loud noise. They hear their mom and dad. They hear them run up the stairs. They hear them open the door.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom says. She is angry. She sees the hole. She sees the branch. She sees the rain and wind. She sees Lily and Tom on the bed.
+
+"We are looking at the roof," Tom says. He smiles. He thinks mom and dad will like the roof.
+
+Mom and dad do not like the roof. They are not happy. They are not smiling. They take Lily and Tom off the bed. They hug them and kiss them. They tell them they are safe. They tell them they are sorry. They tell them they will fix the roof.
+
+Lily and Tom are confused. They do not understand why mom and dad are sorry. They do not understand why they need to fix the roof. They think the roof is fine. They think the roof is fun.
+
+But they are also sleepy. They are tired from looking at the roof. They yawn and rub their eyes. They cuddle with mom and dad. They say good night to the roof. They say good night to the branch. They say good night to the rain and wind. They close their eyes and fall asleep.
+Tom and Lily like to print pictures with their crayons. They have a big book with many pages of animals and plants. They choose the ones they want to print and put a paper on top of them. Then they rub the crayons on the paper and see the shapes come out.
+
+One day, they find a page with wild animals. They see a lion, a tiger, a zebra and a giraffe. They think they are very interesting and want to print them all. They take four papers and start to print.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a lion!" Tom says. He shows his paper with a yellow and brown animal with a big mane.
+
+"Wow, Tom, it is very nice!" Lily says. She shows her paper with a black and orange animal with stripes. "I have a tiger!"
+
+They print the zebra and the giraffe too. They are happy with their pictures. They want to show them to their mom and dad.
+
+They run to the kitchen where their mom and dad are. They hold their papers and say, "Look, look, we have wild animals!"
+
+Their mom and dad smile and hug them. They look at their pictures and say, "They are very interesting and beautiful! You did a great job!"
+
+Tom and Lily feel proud and happy. They like to print pictures with their crayons. They wonder what other animals and plants they can find in their big book.
+Lila and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They found many shells of different colors and shapes. Some were big, some were small, some were smooth, some were rough.
+
+"Look, Lila, I found a weird shell!" Ben said, holding up a shell that was round and spiky. "It has little holes in it. What do you think is inside?"
+
+Lila looked at the shell and shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe a bug or a fish. Do you want to open it and see?"
+
+Ben nodded. He was curious. He tried to pull the shell apart, but it was too hard. He tried to hit it with a rock, but it was too strong. He tried to poke it with a stick, but it was too sharp.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cried, dropping the shell. "It hurt me!"
+
+Lila ran to him and hugged him. "Are you okay, Ben? Let me see your hand."
+
+Ben showed her his hand. It had a small cut and a drop of blood. Lila took a tissue from her pocket and wrapped it around his hand.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. It's just a little cut. It will heal soon. Don't touch the shell anymore. It's mean."
+
+Ben nodded. He felt better. He looked at the shell and saw something move inside. He gasped.
+
+"Lila, look! The shell is alive! Something is coming out of it!"
+
+Lila looked at the shell and saw a small creature with legs and claws and eyes. It was a crab. It crawled out of the shell and scuttled away.
+
+"Wow!" Lila said. "It was a crab! It was hiding in the shell. It was scared of us. That's why it hurt you. It wanted to protect itself."
+
+Ben nodded. He understood. He felt sorry for the crab. He wished he had not tried to open the shell.
+
+"I'm sorry, crab," Ben said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I hope you find a new shell. A nice one. Goodbye, crab."
+
+Lila smiled. She took Ben's hand and they walked away. They left the shell on the sand. They hoped the crab would release it and find a new home. They learned something new that day. They learned that some shells are weird, but some shells are alive.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play catch with a ball. They throw the ball to each other and run and laugh.
+
+One day, Lily brings a new toy to play with. It is a book of stamps. Lily likes stamps. They have pictures of animals and flowers and cars. Lily shows Tom her stamps. Tom thinks they are pretty.
+
+"Can I have one?" Tom asks.
+
+"OK, you can have one. But only one," Lily says. She gives Tom a stamp with a lion on it. Tom likes lions. He says thank you and sticks the stamp on his shirt.
+
+They play catch with the ball again. But the ball is too fast and too hard. It hits Tom on his chest. Tom falls down and cries. The stamp falls off his shirt and flies away.
+
+Lily runs to Tom and helps him up. She sees that his stamp is gone. She looks around and sees the stamp on the grass. She runs to get it.
+
+But a bird sees the stamp too. It thinks it is food. It flies down and picks up the stamp with its beak. It flies away with the stamp.
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They lost the stamp. They watch the bird fly away.
+
+"Bye, bye, stamp," they say. They hug each other and go home.
+Lily was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them talk and dress them up. She had a lot of dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a pretty dress. Lily loved Anna very much.
+
+But Lily was also very tired. She had been playing all morning and she did not eat her snack. Her eyes felt heavy and her mouth felt dry. She wanted to nap, but she did not want to leave Anna alone. She thought Anna might be lonely or scared without her.
+
+She decided to take Anna with her to her bed. She picked up Anna and hugged her tight. She walked to her bed and climbed on it. She pulled the blanket over them and cuddled with Anna. She whispered to Anna, "Don't worry, I will be with you. We will nap together and have sweet dreams."
+
+But as she was falling asleep, she felt something sharp poke her arm. She opened her eyes and saw a needle sticking out of Anna's dress. She had forgotten that she had tried to sew a button on Anna's dress yesterday, but she did not finish. She had left the needle in Anna's dress and now it had hurt her.
+
+She cried out loud and dropped Anna on the floor. She looked at her arm and saw a little drop of blood. She was scared and sad. She wanted her mommy to come and make it better.
+
+She heard her mommy's voice from downstairs. "Lily, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Her mommy ran up the stairs and came into her room. She saw Lily on the bed, crying and holding her arm. She saw Anna on the floor, with a needle in her dress.
+
+She quickly went to Lily and hugged her. She said, "Oh, Lily, I'm so sorry. You have a boo-boo. Let me see. It's not too bad. I will clean it and put a band-aid on it. It will heal soon. You are very brave."
+
+She took Lily to the bathroom and washed her arm. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She said, "There, all done. How do you feel?"
+
+Lily sniffled and said, "I feel better, mommy. Thank you. But I'm sorry for Anna. I hurt her with the needle. I didn't mean to. I love her."
+
+Her mommy smiled and said, "I know, Lily. You love Anna very much. And Anna loves you too. She knows you didn't mean to hurt her. She's not mad at you. She just wants to nap with you and have sweet dreams."
+
+She picked up Anna from the floor and took out the needle from her dress. She said, "Look, Anna is fine. She's not hurt. She's just sleepy. Why don't you take her to your bed and nap with her? I will join you in a minute. I love you, Lily."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, mommy. And I love Anna. Come on, Anna. Let's nap together and have sweet dreams."
+
+She took Anna to her bed and climbed on it. She pulled the blanket over them and cuddled with Anna. She whispered to Anna, "I'm sorry, Anna. I love you. Let's nap together and have sweet dreams."
+
+She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Her mommy came to her bed and lay down next to her. She wrapped her arms around Lily and Anna and kissed them both. She said, "Good night, my sweet girls. Nap well and have sweet dreams."
+
+They all napped together and had sweet dreams.
+Lily liked to play with her kite. She had a red kite with a long cord. She ran with the kite and made it soar in the sky. She felt happy when she saw the kite fly high and fast.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her kite. She saw other children playing with their kites. They had different colors and shapes. Some had tails and some had bows. Lily wanted to play with them, but she was shy. She felt lonely with her red kite.
+
+She saw a boy with a blue kite. He smiled at her and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. I like your kite."
+
+"Thank you. I like yours too. It's very red. Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure. Here you go."
+
+Ben took Lily's kite and looked at it. He said, "It's very nice. Can I try it?"
+
+"Okay. But be careful. Don't let go of the cord."
+
+Ben ran with Lily's kite and made it soar in the sky. He said, "Wow, it's very fun. It flies very high and fast."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, it does. I'm glad you like it."
+
+They took turns flying each other's kites. They laughed and talked. They became friends. Lily felt happy and not lonely anymore. She liked playing with Ben and his blue kite. She liked sharing her red kite with him. She learned that kites are more fun when you have someone to play with.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big dog with a cop. The dog had a yellow coat and a black nose. The cop had a blue hat and a shiny badge.
+
+"Look, Ben, a dog!" Lily said. She was excited. She loved dogs. She wanted to pet the dog.
+
+"Wait, Lily, we have to ask first," Ben said. He was careful. He knew some dogs could be mean. He wanted to be safe.
+
+They ran to the cop and the dog. The cop smiled at them. The dog wagged his tail.
+
+"Hello, kids, this is Rex. He is a police dog. He helps me catch bad guys," the cop said.
+
+"Wow, can we pet him?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be gentle. He is very strong and fast. He can spring and catch a ball in the air," the cop said.
+
+He threw a ball for Rex. Rex sprang and caught it. He brought it back to the cop. Lily and Ben clapped and laughed.
+
+"Rex is amazing! Can we play with him?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sorry, kids, we have to go. We have work to do. But you can say bye to Rex," the cop said.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged Rex and said bye. Rex licked their faces. The cop waved and walked away with Rex.
+
+Lily and Ben went back to their games. They were happy. They had met a cop and a dog. They had seen Rex spring and catch a ball. They had a fun day in the park.
+Tom and Lily are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make different shapes. Tom folds a paper into a long and thin strip. He says, "Look, Lily, I made a snake!"
+
+Lily likes the snake. She wants to make one too. She folds a paper like Tom. But her paper is not long and thin. It is short and wide. She says, "Oh no, my snake is fat!"
+
+Tom laughs. He says, "That's not a snake, Lily. That's a worm!" He shows her how to fold the paper again. He says, "You have to fold it like this, and this, and this."
+
+Lily tries to fold the paper like Tom. She folds it once, twice, three times. But she still can't make it long and thin. She says, "It's too hard, Tom. I can't do it."
+
+Tom has an idea. He says, "Don't worry, Lily. I have something to help you." He runs to his room and comes back with a button. He says, "Look, Lily, this is a button. You can use it to make your snake longer."
+
+He gives the button to Lily. She puts it on the end of her paper. She says, "Wow, Tom, you're right. The button makes my snake longer. Thank you, Tom!"
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They play with their paper snakes and button. They make them slither and hiss. They have fun.
+Tommy likes to record things with his toy camera. He likes to record his toys, his dog, his mom and dad, and his baby sister. He thinks it is fun to watch them later on the TV.
+
+One day, Tommy decides to record his dad when he is taking a nap on the couch. He sneaks up to him and points his camera at his face. He presses the red button and says, "Dad, you are on TV!"
+
+But Tommy does not know that his dad is not really sleeping. He is just pretending. He opens his eyes and makes a funny face at Tommy. He says, "Boo!"
+
+Tommy is so surprised that he drops his camera and runs away. He is scared and embarrassed. He thinks his dad is mad at him.
+
+But his dad is not mad. He is just playing. He picks up the camera and follows Tommy. He says, "Tommy, come back! I want to see your record. It is a funny sight. You are a good camera man."

+
+His dad says, "Sure, Tommy. We can record anything you want. But first, let me record you. You are a wonderful sight. You are my son."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box has a lock on it.
+
+"Wow, what is in the box?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a treasure!" Ben says.
+
+They want to open the box. But they need a key. They look around the park. They see a man with a key ring.
+
+"Excuse me, sir. Can you help us?" Lily says.
+
+The man is kind. He smiles and walks to them. He looks at the box and the lock.
+
+"Sure, I can help you. Let me see if I have the right key." He says.
+
+He tries different keys. None of them fit. He is about to give up. But then he finds a small key. He puts it in the lock. It turns. The lock opens.
+
+"Yay, you did it!" Lily and Ben cheer.
+

+
+Lily and Ben hug the man. They thank him again. They start to play with the amazing things in the box. They have a wonderful day.
+Tommy was very happy when he got an invitation to Lily's birthday party. He liked Lily and wanted to play with her and the other kids. The invitation said there would be cake and games and a big surprise.
+
+But when Tommy got to Lily's house, he saw something that made him scared. There was a big clown standing at the door, holding balloons and making funny noises. Tommy did not like clowns. He thought they were scary and mean. He wanted to run away and go home.
+
+"Hi, Tommy!" the clown said. "Are you here for Lily's party? Come on in, I have a present for you!"
+
+Tommy shook his head and hid behind his mom. He did not want a present from the clown. He did not want to go in.
+
+"Tommy, don't be scared," his mom said. "The clown is just here to make you laugh. He is Lily's uncle. He is very nice. He won't hurt you. Please, give him a chance. Lily is waiting for you inside. She will be sad if you don't come."
+
+Tommy looked at his mom and then at the clown. He saw that the clown had a friendly smile and kind eyes. He saw that the other kids were having fun with him. He saw that Lily was waving at him from the window.
+
+Tommy took a deep breath and decided to be brave. He let go of his mom's hand and walked slowly to the clown. He took the present from him and said, "Thank you."
+
+The clown gave him a hug and said, "You're welcome, Tommy. I'm glad you came. You're a very good boy. Now, let's go inside and have some fun!"
+
+Tommy smiled and nodded. He followed the clown inside and joined Lily and the other kids. He had a great time at the party. He ate cake and played games and saw the big surprise. It was a magic show. Tommy liked magic. He was not scared of the clown anymore. He was happy. He was glad he came.
+One day, a little pig and a little duck were playing in the mud. They liked to splash and roll and make funny noises. They did not see the farmer who was watching them from behind a fence.
+
+The farmer was very hungry and wanted to eat the pig and the duck for his dinner. He thought they were stupid and easy to catch. He had a big net and a sharp knife. He waited for the right moment to sneak up on them.
+
+"Hey, pig, look at me!" the duck said. "I can flap my wings and fly in the air!" The duck jumped and flapped and flew a little bit. The pig clapped his hooves and laughed.
+
+"That's amazing, duck!" the pig said. "You are so clever and brave! I wish I could fly like you!"
+
+The farmer saw his chance. He ran towards the pig and the duck with his net and his knife. He threw the net over the pig and grabbed the duck by the neck. The pig and the duck were scared and screamed.
+
+"Help! Help! The farmer is here! He wants to eat us!" they cried.
+
+But it was too late. The farmer was stronger and faster than them. He put them in a sack and took them to his house. He cooked them in a big pot and ate them for his dinner. He was very happy and full. He did not care that the pig and the duck were his friends. He was a bad and greedy farmer. The end.
+One day, a farmer was working in his field. He had a big red tractor that he used to plow the soil and plant seeds. He liked his tractor very much and took good care of it.
+
+But as he was driving his tractor, he heard a loud bang. He looked behind him and saw that one of his wheels had broken. He stopped the tractor and got off. He was very sad and worried. How could he fix his wheel? How could he finish his work?
+
+He saw a little boy walking by the road. The boy had a blue hat and a yellow shirt. He was curious and came closer to the farmer.
+
+"Hello, mister. What happened to your tractor?" the boy asked.
+
+"Hello, little one. My tractor is broken. One of my wheels broke and I don't know what to do," the farmer said.
+
+"That's too bad. Do you have a spare wheel?" the boy asked.
+
+"No, I don't. I left it at home. And home is very far from here," the farmer said.
+
+"Maybe I can help you. I have a bike. I can ride it to your home and bring your spare wheel back. It's not dark yet and I know the way," the boy said.
+
+"Really? You would do that for me? That's very kind of you. Thank you, little one. You are a good friend," the farmer said.
+
+The boy smiled and nodded. He got on his bike and rode away. The farmer waited for him and hoped he would come back soon.
+
+After a while, the boy returned with the spare wheel. He helped the farmer to change the wheel and fix the tractor. The farmer was very happy and grateful. He gave the boy a hug and a big apple.
+
+"Thank you, little one. You saved my day. You are very brave and smart. I'm glad I met you," the farmer said.
+
+"You're welcome, mister. I'm glad I could help you. You have a nice tractor and a nice field. I hope you have a good harvest," the boy said.
+
+They waved goodbye and the boy rode away. The farmer got on his tractor and finished his work. He looked at the sky and saw the stars. He thanked them for sending him a good friend. He felt very lucky and happy.
+Ben and Mia love to watch fireworks on New Year's Eve. They wait for the dark night and the loud bangs and the bright colors in the sky. They wear warm hats and gloves and coats, because it is very icy outside.
+
+Before they go out, they help their dad polish the car. They use a soft cloth and a shiny spray. They rub and rub until the car looks new. They are very proud of their work. Their dad says they are good helpers.
+
+They get in the car and drive to the park. They see many people and cars and lights. They hear music and laughter and horns. They find a good spot to see the fireworks. They get out of the car and hold their dad's hand.
+
+They look up at the sky and wait. They count down from ten to one. Then they see the first firework. It is red and gold and makes a big star. They clap and cheer. Then they see more fireworks. They are blue and green and purple and pink. They make circles and hearts and flowers. They ooh and aah. They feel happy and excited.
+
+They watch the fireworks for a long time. They hug their dad and wish him a happy new year. They get back in the car and drive home. They are tired and sleepy. They dream of fireworks and stars. They are glad they polished the car.
+Lily liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and her family. She was very proud of her creations and showed them to her mom and dad.
+
+One day, she wanted to create something different. She saw her dad's bathrobe hanging in the bathroom. It was big and white and soft. Lily thought it would be fun to make it more colorful. She took her crayons and started to draw on the bathrobe. She made circles, stars, and hearts. She smiled as she saw how pretty it looked.
+
+She ran to the living room to show her dad. "Look, dad, I created a new bathrobe for you!" she said, holding up the robe.
+
+Dad was not happy. He saw the crayon marks all over his bathrobe. He was angry and sad. He liked his bathrobe the way it was. He did not want it to be ruined. He yelled at Lily. "Lily, what did you do? You ruined my bathrobe! This is not creating, this is destroying! Go to your room right now!"
+
+Lily was scared and confused. She did not mean to make dad angry. She thought he would like her creation. She started to cry. She said, "I'm sorry, dad, I just wanted to make you happy."
+
+Dad did not listen. He was too mad. He took the bathrobe and threw it in the trash. He told Lily to go to her room and not come out until he said so.
+
+Lily ran to her room, sobbing. She felt bad and lonely. She wished dad was more polite and understood her. She wished she never touched the bathrobe. She wished she could create something that would make dad happy.
+Sam and Mia are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They see a big black truck with a picture of a rhinoceros on it. They are curious and want to see the rhinoceros.
+
+"Look, Mia, a rhinoceros!" Sam says. "Let's go and say hello."
+
+"OK, Sam, but be careful. Rhinoceroses are big and strong and have horns," Mia says.
+
+They run to the truck and peek inside. They see a big black rhinoceros lying on the floor. He looks sad and tired. He has a chain around his neck.
+
+"Hello, rhinoceros," Sam says. "Why are you in the truck? Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The rhinoceros does not answer. He just sighs and closes his eyes.
+
+"Maybe he is sick or hurt," Mia says. "We should help him."
+
+She finds a pair of scissors on the ground and tries to cut the chain. Sam helps her. They are almost done when they hear a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, you kids, get away from there!" the voice says. "That's my rhinoceros and he's not for playing. He's for the circus."
+
+They look up and see a mean man with a whip and a hat. He is angry and runs to the truck.
+
+"Uh-oh, we have to go," Sam says. "Come on, Mia, run!"
+
+But it is too late. The mean man grabs them and throws them in the truck. He locks the door and drives away.
+
+"Help, help!" Sam and Mia cry. "Let us out!"
+
+But no one hears them. They are stuck in the truck with the rhinoceros. They are scared and sad. They wish they never saw the rhinoceros. They wish they stayed in the park. They don't know what will happen to them. The end.
+Lily and Ben are in the car with Mom. They are going to the park. But there is a lot of traffic on the road. The cars are moving very slowly. Lily and Ben are bored.
+
+"Mom, why are there so many cars?" Lily asks.
+
+"Because it is a busy time of the day. Many people are going to work or school or other places. They have important things to do," Mom says.
+
+"Can we play a game?" Ben says.
+
+"Sure, what game do you want to play?" Mom says.
+
+"Let's play count the cars. We can take turns to count how many cars we see of each color. I start with red. One, two, three, four, five red cars!" Ben says.
+
+"Good job, Ben. Now it's my turn. I choose blue. One, two, three, four, five, six blue cars!" Lily says.

+
+Sam followed him, but he saw a big dog on the grass. The dog was black and brown, and had wide ears and a long tail. Sam liked dogs, and he wanted to pet it. He forgot about Ben and the game, and ran towards the dog.
+

+
+But Sam ignored him. He reached the dog and knelt down to stroke its fur. The dog wagged its tail and licked Sam's face. Sam laughed and hugged the dog.
+
+"Hello, doggy, you're so nice and soft!" Sam said.

+"Hello, little boy, what's your name?" she asked.
+
+"I'm Sam, and this is my pistol," Sam said, showing her his toy gun.
+
+The lady looked surprised and a bit scared.
+
+"Oh, I see. Well, that's a very...interesting pistol. But you know, you shouldn't point it at people or animals, right? It's not polite, and it could be dangerous," she said.
+
+Sam nodded. He didn't want to hurt anyone, he just wanted to play.
+
+"OK, I'm sorry. I won't point it anymore," he said.
+
+"That's good. And what about your friend over there? He looks lonely. Don't you want to play with him?" the lady asked, pointing at Ben, who was still waiting by the swings.
+
+Sam looked at Ben and felt bad. He had ignored him, and that was not nice. He wanted to be a good friend.
+
+"Yes, I do. Come on, doggy, let's go play with Ben!" he said, getting up and running back to Ben.
+
+The dog followed him, barking happily. Ben smiled and waved at Sam.
+
+"Hi, Sam, I'm glad you're back. Do you want to play some more?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. And look, I have a new friend. This is doggy, and he's very friendly. Can he play with us?" Sam asked.
+
+Ben looked at the dog and nodded.
+
+"Sure, he can. He's a cute dog. Maybe he can be the sheriff, and we can be his deputies," he suggested.
+
+Sam liked the idea. He gave his pistol to the dog, who held it in his mouth.
+
+"OK, doggy, you're the sheriff. And we're your deputies. Let's go catch some robbers!" he said.
+
+The three of them ran around the park, having fun and making noise. The lady watched them and smiled. She was glad they were happy and safe. She hoped they would always be friends.

+Tom laughs. He helps Lily take off the hat. He puts it on his head. It is too big for him, too. It falls over his ears. He cannot hear. He walks into a pond. "Splash!" he says.
+
+Lily laughs. She helps Tom get out of the pond. They are wet and cold. They are hungry, too. They see a man with a hot dog cart. He is the owner of the hat. He is looking for it.
+
+They give him back his hat. He is happy. He gives them each a hot dog. They are happy, too. They eat their hot dogs and warm up. They say thank you to the man. They go back to playing in the park. They are friends. The end.
+Sara liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made drawings of flowers, animals, and people. She gave them names and stories. She had her own style of drawing, with bright colors and big shapes.
+
+One day, she showed her drawings to her friend, Lily. Lily also liked to draw, but she used different colors and shapes. She made drawings of stars, houses, and cars. She had her own style of drawing, with soft colors and small details.
+
+"Wow, your drawings are very pretty," Sara said to Lily. "I like how you draw stars. They look shiny and happy."
+
+"Thank you, Sara," Lily said to Sara. "I like how you draw flowers. They look graceful and sweet."
+
+They decided to share their crayons and paper, and create new drawings together. They mixed their styles and learned from each other. They made drawings of starry flowers, and flowery cars, and happy animals. They had fun and became good friends. They liked each other's style of drawing, and they liked their own style of drawing. They both created beautiful things.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to spin on the round thing. It was fun and made them dizzy. They spun faster and faster until they felt like flying.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" Mia said. "There is a white bird in the sky. It is so big and pretty."
+
+Ben looked up and saw the white bird. It was unusual. It had long wings and a long neck. It made a loud sound. "What is it, Mia? I never saw a bird like that."
+
+Mia did not know. She had never seen a bird like that either. She thought it was a magic bird. Maybe it came from a faraway place. Maybe it had a story to tell.
+
+"Hello, bird, hello!" Mia shouted. "Where do you come from? What is your name?"
+
+The white bird heard Mia. It was curious. It flew closer to the round thing. It saw Ben and Mia spinning. It wanted to join them. It landed on the round thing and spun with them.
+
+"Hello, children, hello!" the white bird said. "I come from a place where there are many white birds like me. We are called swans. My name is Lila. I like to spin with you. It is fun and makes me dizzy."
+
+Ben and Mia were surprised. They did not know that birds could talk. They did not know that birds could spin. They were happy to meet Lila. They asked her many questions. They told her about their park and their games. They became friends.
+
+They spun and talked and laughed until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to Lila. They hoped to see her again. They waved to her as she flew away. They smiled and hugged each other. They had an unusual and wonderful day.
+One day, a boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He climbed up the stairs and looked down. He felt frightened. The slide was very high and very fast.
+
+"Mom, I'm scared!" he cried.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. You can do it. I'm right here to catch you," his mom said.
+
+Tom took a deep breath and sat on the slide. He closed his eyes and let go. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He opened his eyes and saw his mom smiling at him. He reached the bottom and landed in her arms.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" he said.
+
+"See, you did it! You're very brave, Tom," his mom said.
+
+They hugged and laughed. Tom felt happy and proud. He wanted to try the slide again. He ran back to the stairs and climbed up. He looked down and smiled. He was not frightened anymore. He slid down and laughed. He had a great time at the park.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to act like animals. Tom was a lion and Lily was a bird. They roared and chirped and ran around the trees.
+
+But then they saw a big black dog. It was not like the dogs they knew. It had long hair and big teeth and it made weird noises. It did not bark or wag its tail. It growled and snarled and drooled.
+
+"Look, Tom, a dog!" Lily said. "Can we pet it?"
+
+"No, Lily, that is a bad dog!" Tom said. "It is not friendly. It is scary. We have to run away!"
+
+Tom and Lily ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. The black dog followed them, but it did not catch them. Their mom saw the dog and shouted at it. The dog stopped and ran away.
+
+"Mom, what was that?" Tom asked. "That was not a normal dog. That was a weird dog."
+
+"That was a wolf, Tom," their mom said. "A wild animal that sometimes comes to the park. You should never go near a wolf. They are dangerous. You did the right thing to run away."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged their mom. They were glad they were safe. They decided to act like animals again, but only the nice ones.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was barking and jumping.
+
+"Let's go see the dog!" Sam said. He ran towards the dog.
+
+"No, Sam, stay here!" Lily said. She was scared of the dog. "The dog might bite you!"
+
+But Sam did not listen. He wanted to pet the dog. He reached out his hand to touch the dog's head. The dog did not like that. The dog growled and snapped at Sam's hand.
+
+"Ow!" Sam cried. He pulled back his hand. It was bleeding. He felt a lot of pain.
+
+Lily ran to Sam. She saw his hand. She was very worried. She hugged Sam and tried to help him.
+
+"Sam, are you okay?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, I'm not okay!" Sam said. He was angry and sad. "The dog hurt me! Why did he do that?"
+
+"I don't know, Sam. Maybe he was scared too. Or maybe he was mean. He made a weird sound when you touched him. He did not want to be your friend." Lily said.
+
+They heard a loud whistle. It was the dog's owner. He came to get the dog. He saw Sam and Lily. He saw Sam's hand. He looked angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! What did you do to my dog?" He yelled. He did not say sorry. He did not help Sam. He grabbed the dog's leash and walked away.
+
+Sam and Lily felt alone and scared. They did not know what to do. They wished their mom and dad were here. They wished they never saw the dog. They wished they stayed away.
+Tom and Mia like to collect rocks. They have a big box full of rocks of different colors and shapes. They like to look at them and sort them and make patterns with them.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a sign that says "Rock Hunt". It is a game where you have to find rocks with stickers on them and bring them to a table. The person who finds the most rocks with stickers wins a prize.
+
+"Can we play, mom?" Tom and Mia ask.
+
+"Sure, why not? It sounds like fun. But remember to share and be nice to the other kids," mom says.
+
+Tom and Mia run to the table and get a paper bag each. They start to look for rocks with stickers. They find some under the slide, some behind the bench, some in the flower bed. They put them in their bags and smile.
+
+They see a big rock near the fountain. It has a shiny sticker on it. It looks like a lovely rock. They both want it.
+
+"I saw it first!" Tom says.
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Mia says.
+
+They both reach for the rock and pull. They tug and pull and argue. The rock slips from their hands and falls into the fountain. Splash!
+
+"Oh no!" Tom and Mia say.
+
+They look at each other and feel sad. They lost the lovely rock. They also lost their chance to win the prize. They wish they had not fought over the rock.
+
+They go back to the table and give their bags to the lady. She counts the rocks with stickers and says, "You both did very well. You each found six rocks with stickers. That means you both win a prize. Here you go, you can choose one each."
+
+Tom and Mia look at the prizes. There are books, puzzles, stickers, and toys. They see a rock painting kit. It has paints, brushes, and some plain rocks. They both like it.
+
+"Can we have this one, mom?" Tom and Mia ask.
+
+"Sure, that looks like a nice prize. You can share it and paint your own lovely rocks," mom says.
+
+Tom and Mia smile and hug each other. They say sorry for fighting and thank the lady. They take the rock painting kit and go home. They are happy. They like to collect rocks. They like to paint rocks. They like to play together.
+Lily was very happy. Today was her birthday. She had a big cake with candles and many presents. She invited her friends to come and play with her.
+
+But there was a problem. Her little brother Tom was very noisy. He wanted to play with the cake and the presents too. He disturbed Lily and her friends. He made a mess and cried a lot.
+
+Lily was very sad. She said to Tom, "Please stop. You are disturbing me. This is my birthday. You can play with your own toys."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He said, "No, I want to play with you. You have more fun. You have cake and presents. I have nothing."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tom. She thought for a moment. She said, "OK, you can play with me. But you have to be nice and quiet. And you have to share. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "OK, I understand. I will be nice and quiet. And I will share. Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good brother. Come on, let's play together. There is enough cake and presents for everyone."
+
+Lily and Tom played together with their friends. They had a lot of fun. They did not disturb each other. They shared the cake and the presents. They were happy. It was a good birthday.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a big owl sitting on a branch. The owl had big eyes and a sharp beak. Tom and Lily wanted to talk to the owl, so they said hello.
+
+"Hello, hello," the owl said back. The owl could repeat what they said.
+
+"Wow, you can talk!" Tom said.
+
+"Talk, talk," the owl said.
+
+"Can you say something else?" Lily asked.
+
+"Something else, something else," the owl said.
+
+Tom and Lily laughed. They thought the owl was funny. They asked the owl many questions, but the owl only repeated what they said.
+
+After a while, Tom and Lily got bored. They wanted to play something else. They said goodbye to the owl and ran away.
+
+"Goodbye, goodbye," the owl said.
+
+But the owl was not happy. The owl was lonely. The owl wanted to be friends with Tom and Lily. The owl flew after them and landed on their heads.
+
+"Ouch, ouch!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+"Ouch, ouch," the owl said.
+
+"Go away, go away!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+"Go away, go away," the owl said.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not like the owl anymore. They ran to their home and told their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, there is a bad owl in the woods. He followed us and hurt us. He only repeats what we say. He is not nice," Tom and Lily said.
+
+"Bad owl, bad owl," the owl said from outside the window.
+
+Mom hugged Tom and Lily and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. The owl is not bad. He is just lonely. He wanted to play with you, but he did not know how. He only repeats what he hears. He does not understand what you say. He needs to learn new words and manners. Maybe you can teach him."
+
+"Teach him, teach him," the owl said.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the owl. They felt sorry for him. They decided to give him another chance. They opened the window and said, "Hello, owl. Do you want to be our friend?"
+
+"Friend, friend," the owl said.
+
+"Yes, friend. But you have to be nice. You have to say please and thank you. You have to share and take turns. You have to be gentle and kind. Can you do that?" Tom and Lily said.
+
+"Please, thank you, share, turn, gentle, kind," the owl said.
+
+"Very good, owl. You are learning. Come on, let's play together. We have many toys and games. We can have fun," Tom and Lily said.
+
+"Fun, fun," the owl said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They took the owl to their room and played with him. The owl was happy. He made new friends. He learned new words and manners. He was not lonely anymore.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral: Don't judge someone by their appearance or their words. Try to understand their feelings and needs. Be kind and patient. You can make new friends and help them grow.
+Sara and Ben were playing with water in the garden. They had a big hose that could spray water very far. They liked to spray water on the flowers, the grass and each other. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then Sara had a bad idea. She wanted to spray water on the door of the house. She thought it would be funny to make the door wet and shiny. She did not think that water could damage the door or make the house dirty.
+
+"Look, Ben, I'm going to spray the door!" Sara said.
+
+"No, Sara, don't do that!" Ben said. "That's not nice. The door is not for spraying. The door is for opening and closing. Mom and dad will be angry if you spray the door."
+
+But Sara did not listen to Ben. She sprayed the door with water. She did not see that the door was different from the other doors. The door had a sign that said "Paint wet". The door was not dry yet. The water made the paint run and drip. The door looked messy and ugly.
+
+"Oh no, Sara, what have you done?" Ben said. "The door was not ready. You ruined the paint. Now the door is different and bad. Mom and dad will be very sad and mad."
+
+Sara realized her mistake. She felt sorry and scared. She wished she had listened to Ben. She learned that spraying water was not always fun. Sometimes it could be harmful and rude. She learned to respect the door and the house. She learned to be careful and kind.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and a train. The train is brown and has many cars. It can make sounds and move on the tracks.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily decide to play with the train. They put the tracks on the floor and connect them. They put the train on the tracks and turn it on. The train starts to move and make sounds. Tom and Lily are happy. They watch the train go around and around.
+
+"Look, Lily, the train is fast!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom, the train is fast and loud!" Lily says.
+
+They clap their hands and laugh. They pretend they are on the train and go to different places. They say they go to the zoo, the park, the beach, and the farm.
+
+Then, Tom has an idea. He wants to make the train fly. He thinks flying is fun and cool. He picks up the train and throws it in the air. He says, "Fly, train, fly!"
+
+But the train does not fly. The train falls down and breaks. The train makes a loud noise and stops moving. Tom and Lily are sad. They look at the broken train and cry.
+
+"Tom, why did you do that?" Lily asks.
+
+"I wanted to make the train fly, Lily. I thought it would be fun," Tom says.
+
+"But trains don't fly, Tom. Trains stay on the tracks. You broke the train. Now we can't play with it," Lily says.
+
+Tom feels sorry. He hugs Lily and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I didn't mean to break the train. I love you, Lily."
+
+"I love you, too, Tom. But please don't throw the train again. It's not a bird. It's a train," Lily says.
+
+They hug each other and wipe their tears. They put the broken train in the box and hope their mom can fix it. They decide to play with something else. They find a ball and a basket. They play catch and have fun. They forget about the train and smile.
+Tom loved music. He liked to sing and play his toy guitar. He wanted to be a musician when he grew up. He had a brilliant idea. He would make a show for his family and friends.
+
+He made a poster with crayons and paper. He wrote "Tom's Music Show" and drew a guitar and a star. He put the poster on the fridge. He told his mom and dad, his sister and brother, and his best friend Lily to come to his show.
+
+He set up his toy guitar and microphone in the living room. He put on his sunglasses and hat. He felt very cool. He waited for his audience to arrive. He was very excited.
+
+But then, something bad happened. His mom and dad said they had to leave. They had to go to work. His sister and brother said they had to leave. They had to go to school. His best friend Lily said she had to leave. She had to go to the dentist. Tom was very sad. He had no one to watch his show.
+
+He was about to cry, when he heard a knock on the door. He opened it and saw his grandma and grandpa. They had big smiles and hugs for him. They said they came to see his show. They said they loved music and they were proud of him. Tom was very happy. He invited them in and started his show. He sang and played his guitar. He made up funny songs and jokes. His grandma and grandpa clapped and cheered. They said he was a brilliant musician. Tom felt very cool. He had the best show ever.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have a big box of cars in different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor, making noises like vroom and beep.
+
+One day, their mom says, "Who wants to go for a real drive?" Anna and Ben shout, "Me, me, me!" They run to get their shoes and coats. Mom helps them put them on. Their coats are tight, because they have grown a lot. Mom says, "You need new coats soon, my big kids."
+
+They get in the car and buckle up. Mom drives them to the park. They see trees and flowers and birds. They also see a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. Anna and Ben love ice-cream. They ask mom, "Can we have ice-cream, please?" Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. It's a special treat."
+
+They get out of the car and walk to the truck. The man in the truck says, "Hello, what can I get you?" Anna says, "I want chocolate ice-cream." Ben says, "I want vanilla ice-cream." The man gives them each a cone with a scoop of ice-cream. They say, "Thank you." They lick their ice-cream and smile.
+
+They sit on a bench and enjoy their ice-cream. They see other kids playing and laughing. They say to mom, "Can we play too?" Mom says, "Of course, you can. But finish your ice-cream first." Anna and Ben nod and eat their ice-cream. They are happy. They like to drive with mom and have ice-cream.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Lily saw a big cabinet that was open. She wondered what was inside.
+
+"Ben, look at this!" she said. "Maybe there are more things to cook with."
+
+Ben came over and looked inside the cabinet. He saw a lot of bottles and jars with different colors and shapes. He wanted to touch them and see what they were.
+
+"Let's take them out and see," he said. He reached for a bottle that had a red label and a shiny cap.
+
+"Wait, Ben!" Lily said. "We don't know what they are. Maybe they are not for cooking. Maybe they are bad for us."
+
+She tried to stop him, but he was too fast. He opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled very strong and made him cough.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She was scared.
+
+Ben put the bottle down and rubbed his nose. He felt dizzy and his eyes watered.
+
+"I don't like it," he said. "It hurts."
+
+Lily heard footsteps coming from the living room. It was their mom. She had heard them coughing and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"What are you doing, kids?" she asked. She saw the open cabinet and the bottle on the floor. She looked angry and worried.
+
+"Mom, we were playing and we found this," Lily said. She pointed to the bottle. "Ben opened it and smelled it and he didn't feel good."
+
+Mom picked up the bottle and read the label. It said "bleach". She gasped and put the bottle back in the cabinet. She closed the cabinet and locked it.
+
+"Kids, this is very dangerous," she said. "This is not for cooking or playing. This is for cleaning and it can make you very sick. You should never touch it or open it. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry and scared.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry," they said. "We didn't know."
+
+Mom hugged them and checked them for any signs of harm. She was relieved that they were not hurt.
+
+"It's okay, kids," she said. "I'm glad you're okay. But next time, if you see something you don't know, don't touch it or open it. Ask me or dad first. We will answer you and tell you what it is. Okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded again. They learned their lesson.
+
+"Okay, mom," they said. "We will ask you first."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She took them to the living room and gave them some cookies and milk. They ate and drank and felt better. They decided to play with their toys instead of the cabinet. They were happy and safe.
+Anna loved to fly her kite on sunny days. She liked to watch it soar high in the sky, like a bird. She ran with it on the grass, feeling the wind in her hair. She smiled and laughed as she played.
+
+One day, she saw some gray clouds in the sky. They looked big and angry. She heard a loud boom. It was thunder. She felt a drop of water on her nose. It was rain. She was scared. She wanted to go home.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, can we go home?" she cried. She held her kite tight.
+
+Mommy came and hugged her. "Don't worry, sweetie, we can go home. But first, let's put your kite away. It might get wet and broken."
+
+Anna nodded. She folded her kite and put it in her backpack. She followed mommy to the car. She looked back at the sky. She saw a bright rainbow. It had many colors. It was beautiful.
+
+"Look, mommy, a rainbow!" she said. She pointed at it.
+
+Mommy smiled. "Yes, a rainbow. It's a sign of hope and happiness. Maybe next time, we can fly your kite under the rainbow."
+
+Anna smiled too. She liked that idea. She hoped for a sunny day soon. She wanted to soar with her kite again.
+Tim and Mia were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Sometimes they shared the blocks, and sometimes they wanted the same blocks.
+
+"Give me that red block, Tim!" Mia said. "I need it for my house!"
+
+"No, I want it for my car!" Tim said. "You have many red blocks already!"
+
+They both pulled on the block and it fell to the floor. The block made a loud noise and they heard their mom coming.
+
+"What are you doing, kids?" Mom asked. "Why are you making so much noise?"
+
+Tim and Mia looked at each other and did not say anything. They knew they were in trouble.
+
+Mom saw the block on the floor and picked it up. She looked at it and frowned. She saw something unusual on the block. It was a small hole.
+
+"Where did this hole come from?" Mom asked. "Did you make this hole?"
+
+Tim and Mia shook their heads. They did not make the hole. They did not know how the hole got there.
+
+Mom looked around the living room and saw more holes on the wall. The holes were small and round and looked like someone had shot them with a gun.
+
+"Who did this?" Mom asked. "Who made these holes on the wall?"
+
+Tim and Mia looked at the wall and gasped. They did not see the holes before. They did not know who made them.
+
+They heard a noise outside the window. They saw a boy with a toy gun. He was shooting at their house. He was smiling and laughing.
+
+"It's him!" Tim said. "He made the holes!"
+
+Mom opened the window and yelled at the boy. "Hey, you! Stop that right now! You are making holes on our wall! That is not nice!"
+
+The boy saw Mom and got scared. He dropped his toy gun and ran away.
+
+Mom closed the window and hugged Tim and Mia. "I'm sorry, kids. That was a bad boy. He should not do that. Are you okay?"
+
+Tim and Mia nodded. They were okay. They were glad Mom was not mad at them.
+
+They hugged Mom back and said, "We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, kids. Now, let's clean up these blocks and find some new ones without holes."
+Lily liked to collect things. She had a box full of shells, rocks, feathers and buttons. She liked to look at them and make patterns with them. But today, she was bored. She had seen all her things many times. She wanted something new to collect.
+
+She asked her mom, "Can I go outside and find something to collect?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sure, but be careful. Don't go too far and don't touch anything sharp or dirty."
+
+Lily put on her shoes and coat and went outside. She saw a lot of things, but nothing that she wanted to collect. She saw a car, a tree, a dog, a bird, a flower, a ball, a bike, a fence, a cloud, a sun. They were all nice, but not very interesting.
+
+Then she saw something shiny and white on the ground. It looked like snow, but it was not cold. It was sweet, like candy. She picked up a handful and tasted it. It was sugar! She wondered where it came from. She looked around and saw a big truck parked nearby. It had a sign that said "Sugar Delivery". She guessed that some sugar had fallen from the truck.
+
+She was very happy. She had found something new to collect. She ran to the truck and started to fill her pockets with sugar. She did not see the driver coming back from the store. He saw her and shouted, "Hey, kid, what are you doing? That's my sugar! Stop stealing it!"
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the sugar and ran away. She ran all the way home and hid in her room. She felt bad. She knew she had done something wrong. She wished she had not taken the sugar. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had been happy with her old things. She learned that collecting sugar was not fun. It was boring and naughty.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the park. One day, they see a big sign that says "Trail". They want to see what is on the trail.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go!" Sara says. She runs to the trail and Ben follows her.
+
+They see many things on the trail. They see trees and flowers and birds and bugs. They see a bridge and a stream and a hill. They have fun looking at everything.
+
+"Look, Sara, a squirrel!" Ben says. He points to a furry animal that runs up a tree. Sara claps her hands and laughs.
+
+"Hello, squirrel!" she says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The squirrel looks at them and makes a noise. Then it runs away.
+
+"Bye, squirrel!" Ben says. He waves his hand.
+
+They keep walking on the trail. They see a big rock that looks like a dinosaur. They pretend to be dinosaurs and roar.
+
+"Rawr, I'm a T-rex!" Sara says. She stomps her feet and shows her teeth.
+
+"Rawr, I'm a Triceratops!" Ben says. He lowers his head and pretends to have horns.
+
+They chase each other around the rock and have fun.
+
+But then they get dizzy. They spin too much and fall down.
+
+"Whoa, I'm dizzy!" Sara says. She holds her head and closes her eyes.
+
+"Me too!" Ben says. He lies on the grass and breathes hard.
+
+They rest for a while. Then they get up and look around.
+
+"Where are we?" Sara says. She does not see the sign or the park.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. He does not see anyone else.
+
+They are lost. They are scared.
+
+They hold hands and walk on the trail. They hope to find their way back.
+
+They see a man and a dog. They run to them.
+
+"Help, help!" Sara says. She waves her hand.
+
+"Help, help!" Ben says. He waves his hand too.
+
+The man and the dog see them. They come to them.
+
+"Hello, kids, what's wrong?" the man says. He smiles and bends down.
+
+"We're lost," Sara says. She sniffles and wipes her nose.
+
+"We can't find the park," Ben says. He sniffles too.
+
+The man hugs them and comforts them.
+
+"Don't worry, kids, I'll help you," he says. "I know where the park is. It's not far from here. Come with me and my dog."
+
+The dog wags its tail and licks their faces.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Sara says. She smiles and hugs the dog.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Ben says. He smiles and hugs the dog too.
+
+They follow the man and the dog. They walk on the trail. They see the sign and the park.
+
+They see their mom and dad. They run to them.
+
+"Mom, dad, we're back!" Sara says. She jumps and claps her hands.
+
+"Mom, dad, we're back!" Ben says. He jumps and claps his hands too.
+
+Their mom and dad hug them and kiss them.
+
+"Where were you, kids?" their mom says. She looks worried and happy.
+
+"We were on the trail," Sara says. She tells them what they saw and what happened.
+
+"We were on the trail," Ben says. He tells them what they saw and what happened too.
+
+Their mom and dad listen and nod.
+
+"We're glad you're safe, kids," their dad says. He smiles and ruffles their hair.
+
+"We're sorry we got lost, mom, dad," Sara says. She looks sorry and happy.
+
+"We're sorry we got lost, mom, dad," Ben says. He looks sorry and happy too.
+
+Their mom and dad kiss them again.
+
+"It's okay, kids, we love you," their mom says. She holds their hands.
+
+"It's okay, kids, we love you," their dad says. He holds their hands too.
+
+They thank the man and the dog. They say goodbye to them.
+
+They go back to the car. They go home.
+
+They have a big dinner. They have a warm bath. They have a cozy bed.
+
+They have a good night.
+
+They dream of the trail.
+Lily liked to play with her pink comb. She used it to make her hair look pretty. She also liked to comb her doll's hair and her cat's fur. She always kept her comb in her drawer when she was done.
+
+One day, Lily came home from school and wanted to play with her comb. She opened her drawer, but her comb was not there. She looked around her room, but she could not find it. She felt sad and angry. Who took her comb?
+
+She went to ask her brother, Ben. Ben was playing with his cars on the floor. Lily saw something shiny in his hand. It was her pink comb!
+
+"Ben, give me back my comb!" Lily shouted. "That is mine!"
+
+Ben looked at her and smiled. He said, "No, this is my comb now. I like it. It makes my cars go faster. See?" He rubbed the comb on his car and zoomed it across the floor.
+
+Lily tried to grab the comb, but Ben was stronger. He pushed her away and said, "Go away, Lily. You are a baby. You don't need a comb. You have ugly hair."
+
+Lily felt hurt and angry. She started to cry. She ran to her mom and told her what Ben did. Mom was busy making dinner. She said, "Lily, calm down. It's just a comb. You can share it with Ben. He is your brother. You should forgive him."
+
+Lily did not want to forgive Ben. She wanted her comb back. She said, "No, Mom. He is mean. He stole my comb. He made fun of my hair. I hate him."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "Lily, don't say that. You don't hate your brother. You love him. He loves you too. He just made a mistake. He will give you back your comb later. Now, go and play nicely."
+
+Lily did not listen to Mom. She was still angry. She went back to her room and looked for something to get back at Ben. She saw his favorite teddy bear on his bed. She had an idea. She took the teddy bear and ran to the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and soaked the teddy bear in water. Then she took some scissors and cut off its ears and eyes. She smiled and said, "There, Ben. Now you know how I feel."
+
+She threw the teddy bear on the floor and ran back to her room. She hid under her bed and waited for Ben to come.
+
+Ben came to his room after dinner. He saw his wet and ruined teddy bear on the floor. He screamed and cried. He ran to Mom and showed her what Lily did. Mom was shocked and angry. She said, "Lily, what have you done? This is terrible. How could you do this to your brother? You are a very naughty girl. You need to apologize and make up with Ben right now."
+
+Lily did not want to apologize or make up with Ben. She said, "No, Mom. He deserved it. He took my comb. He was mean to me. I hate him."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, that is no excuse. You did something very wrong. You hurt your brother's feelings. You destroyed his toy. You are not forgiven. You are grounded. You have to stay in your room for a week. And you have to give back your comb to Ben. You don't deserve it."
+
+Lily felt shocked and scared. She did not expect Mom to be so mad. She realized she made a big mistake. She wished she had listened to Mom and forgiven Ben. She wished she had not hurt his teddy bear. She wished she had her pink comb back. She wished she could say sorry and hug her brother. But it was too late. She had no comb, no teddy bear, no brother, and no Mom. She was alone and sad. She cried and cried. She had a bad ending.
+Sara and Ben like to play with round things. They have balls, bubbles, coins, and beads. They make games with them and have fun. Sara likes the clear bubbles best. She blows them and watches them fly in the air. Ben likes the coins best. He stacks them and counts them and pretends they are treasure.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben find a big round thing in the park. It is shiny and has many colors. They think it is a ball, but it is not. It is a crystal. They pick it up and look at it. It is very pretty and heavy. They wonder what it is and where it came from.
+
+They show it to their mom. She is surprised and happy. She tells them it is a very special round thing. It is not a ball or a coin or a bead. It is a gem. It is very rare and very valuable. She says they are very lucky to find it. She says they can keep it or they can give it to someone who needs it more.
+
+Sara and Ben think about it. They like the crystal, but they also like to help others. They decide to give it to a charity that helps sick children. They think the crystal will make them happy and healthy. They value the crystal, but they value kindness more. They hug their mom and each other. They are happy and proud.
+Lily likes to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she eats, when she plays, and when she goes to bed. She sings loud and happy songs that make her feel good.
+
+One day, Lily goes to the store with her mom. She sees many things in the store, like toys, books, clothes, and food. She wants to sing about them, but her mom says, "Shh, Lily, not so loud. You have to be quiet in the store."
+
+Lily feels sad. She does not like to be quiet. She thinks it is not fair. She wants to sing and have fun. She sees a big red ball in the store. She likes the ball. She thinks it would be fun to play with the ball and sing.
+
+She runs to the ball and picks it up. She starts to sing, "I have a big red ball, I have a big red ball, I like to bounce it high and low, I have a big red ball." She bounces the ball and sings louder and louder.
+
+But then, a man who works in the store comes to her. He looks angry. He says, "Hey, little girl, you can't do that. You can't take the ball and sing like that. You have to pay for the ball and be quiet in the store."
+
+Lily feels scared. She drops the ball and runs to her mom. She hugs her mom and says, "Sorry, mom, I just wanted to sing and play." Her mom hugs her back and says, "It's okay, Lily, I know you like to sing. But you have to follow the rules in the store. You can sing and play when we get home."
+
+Lily nods. She understands. She says, "Okay, mom, I will be quiet in the store. But can we buy the big red ball? I really like it." Her mom smiles and says, "Sure, Lily, we can buy the big red ball. You can sing and play with it at home. But only if you are a good girl and say sorry to the man."
+
+Lily agrees. She goes to the man and says, "Sorry, sir, I did not mean to be bad. I just like to sing and play." The man softens and says, "It's alright, little girl, I forgive you. You have a nice voice and a big smile. Just be careful with the ball and don't make too much noise in the store."
+
+Lily thanks the man and goes back to her mom. They pay for the ball and leave the store. Lily is happy. She has a big red ball and a mom who loves her. She can sing and play at home. She thinks it is fair. She sings, "I have a big red ball, I have a big red ball, I like to bounce it high and low, I have a big red ball."
+Ben and Mia like to swim. They go to the stadium with Mom and Dad. The stadium has a big pool. Ben and Mia put on their swimsuits and jump in the water.
+
+"Look, Mom, I can swim like a fish!" Ben says. He moves his arms and legs fast. He makes bubbles with his mouth.
+
+"Good job, Ben!" Mom says. She claps her hands. "You are a good swimmer!"
+
+Mia wants to swim too. She holds Dad's hand. She kicks her feet. She smiles.
+
+"I can swim like a duck!" Mia says. She splashes the water with her hands. She quacks like a duck.
+
+"Good job, Mia!" Dad says. He hugs her. "You are a good swimmer too!"
+
+Ben and Mia swim and play in the pool. They have fun. They are happy. They love to swim.
+Lily liked to clap her hands when she was happy. She was happy today because she had a new dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. She wanted to show her dress to her grandma, who was elderly and lived in a big house.
+
+She asked her mom if they could go visit grandma. Her mom said yes, but they had to be careful because grandma was sick. Lily said she would be careful and give grandma a hug. She put on her dress and her shoes and got in the car with her mom.
+
+They drove for a long time until they reached grandma's house. Lily ran to the door and knocked. She heard grandma's voice say, "Come in, Lily, I'm in the living room." Lily opened the door and ran to the living room. She saw grandma sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket. She looked very pale and tired.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Hi, grandma, I have a new dress. Do you like it?" She twirled around and clapped her hands. Grandma smiled weakly and said, "You look very pretty, Lily. I love your dress." She reached out her hand and said, "Come here, give me a hug."
+
+Lily ran to grandma and hugged her. She felt grandma's hand on her back. She felt grandma's breath on her ear. She felt grandma's heart stop beating. She felt grandma go limp. She felt grandma die. She did not understand what happened. She did not clap her hands anymore. She did not smile anymore. She cried and cried. She was not happy anymore.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to dance. They learned many moves from their mom, who was a dancer. They danced at home, at school, and at the park. They were very graceful and happy.
+
+One day, their mom told them they had a big surprise. She took them to a big hall with a stage and many seats. She said they were going to celebrate their birthday by dancing in a show. Sara and Ben were very excited and nervous. They put on their costumes and waited for their turn.

+
+Sara and Ben hugged their mom back and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you. You taught us how to dance and how to be brave. You are the best mom ever."
+
+They went to the back of the hall, where there was a big cake with candles and balloons. They blew out the candles and made a wish. They wished to keep dancing and to make their mom happy. They ate the cake and shared it with their friends. They had a wonderful birthday.
+
+The moral of the story is: If you work hard and practice, you can achieve your dreams and make your loved ones proud. Dancing is a fun and graceful way to express yourself and celebrate life.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the sandbox. They made a big castle with towers and bridges. They used sticks and stones and shells to decorate it. They were very proud of their castle.
+
+"Look, Mommy, look at our castle!" Lily shouted.
+
+Mommy came to see their castle. She smiled and said, "Wow, what a beautiful castle! You two are very creative. But you are also very dirty. Look at your hands and clothes. You need to wash up before dinner."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at their hands and clothes. They were covered with sand and dirt. They realized they were dirty. They did not want to be dirty. They wanted to be clean and eat dinner.
+
+"OK, Mommy, we will wash up," Ben said.
+
+Mommy took them to the bathroom. She helped them wash their hands and faces. She changed their clothes. She brushed their hair. She said, "Now you are clean and ready for dinner. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."
+
+Lily and Ben followed Mommy to the kitchen. They smelled something yummy. They saw a big pot of soup and a plate of bread on the table. They also saw a cake with frosting and sprinkles on the counter.
+
+"Is that dessert, Mommy?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, it is, Lily. It's a special cake for you and Ben. You can have a slice after you finish your soup and bread. But only if you eat nicely and say please and thank you," Mommy said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were hungry and excited. They sat down at the table. They ate their soup and bread. They said please and thank you. They waited for dessert. They were happy. They loved their castle, their Mommy, and their cake.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They found a big bottle under a bush. It was green and shiny. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's cut it open!" Tom said. He had a pair of scissors in his pocket.
+
+"No, don't!" Lily said. She was scared. "It might be dangerous. Maybe it has something unknown in it. Something bad."
+
+Tom did not listen. He took the scissors and tried to cut the bottle. But the bottle was too hard. The scissors slipped and cut his finger. Tom cried out loud. He dropped the bottle and the scissors.
+
+Lily ran to him. She saw blood on his finger. She felt sorry for him. She took a tissue from her pocket and wrapped it around his finger.
+
+"Are you okay?" she asked.
+
+"It hurts!" Tom said. He was angry and sad. He looked at the bottle. It was still closed. He did not want to see it anymore.
+
+"Let's go inside," Lily said. "We can tell mom. She will make it better."
+
+They left the bottle in the garden. They did not know that inside the bottle there was a fairy. She was sleeping. She had been trapped in the bottle for a long time. She hoped that someone would free her. But no one did. She kept dreaming of the sky and the flowers. She did not hear Tom and Lily. She did not see them go. She was alone in the unknown bottle.
+Lily was restless. She did not want to sit at the table and eat pasta. She wanted to play with her toys and run around the house. She looked at her mom and dad, who were talking and eating. They did not seem to notice her.
+
+She had an idea. She saw a big bowl of pasta on the counter. It was too high for her to reach, but she had a stool. She pushed the stool to the counter and climbed on it. She lifted the bowl of pasta with both hands. It was heavy and hot. She smiled. She was going to have some fun.
+
+She walked to the table with the bowl of pasta. She saw her mom and dad look at her with surprise. She said, "Look, I have pasta!" She lifted the bowl higher and higher. She was going to dump it on their heads.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The bowl slipped from her hands. It fell to the floor with a loud crash. Pasta and sauce went everywhere. Lily gasped. She felt scared and sorry. She had made a big mess.
+
+Her mom and dad jumped from their seats. They were angry and worried. They said, "Lily, what did you do? That was very naughty and dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or us. You need to go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Lily started to cry. She did not mean to be naughty and dangerous. She just wanted to have some fun. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She ran to her room and slammed the door. She felt very sad. She wished she had eaten her pasta.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toy cars on the floor. They make noises like vroom and beep as they drive them around. Tom has a red car and Lily has a blue car.
+
+"Look, my car can reverse!" Tom says, as he moves his car backwards. "Can your car do that?"
+
+Lily nods and tries to reverse her car too. But her car does not move. She pushes harder, but nothing happens. She feels sad and looks at her car.
+
+"Maybe your car needs new batteries," Tom says. He picks up Lily's car and turns it over. He sees a switch on the bottom. "Or maybe you need to turn on this switch."
+
+He flips the switch and puts the car back on the floor. Lily tries to reverse her car again. This time, it works. She hears a loud alarm sound from her car. She smiles and laughs.
+
+"Wow, your car has an alarm!" Tom says. "That's cool. My car does not have that."
+
+They play with their cars some more. They take turns reversing and setting off the alarm. They have fun and forget about their dull toys in the corner.
+Anna likes to create things with paper and glue. She makes cards, flowers, and animals. One day, she wants to make a crown for herself. She finds a big yellow paper and cuts it into a long strip. She glues some shiny stickers on it. Then she makes a loop and glues the ends together. She has a crown!
+
+She puts the crown on her head and looks in the mirror. She smiles and says, "I am a queen!" She feels very proud of her crown. She shows it to her mom and dad. They say, "Wow, Anna, you made a beautiful crown! You are very creative and clever!" They give her a hug and a kiss.
+
+Anna wears her crown all day. She plays with her toys, reads her books, and eats her lunch. She pretends she is a queen and makes up stories. She has a lot of fun. She loves her crown and her parents. She is happy.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they tease each other. One morning, they see their mom make coffee. Coffee is a hot drink that grown-ups like.
+
+"Can I have some coffee, mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, coffee is not for kids. It is too strong and bitter. You can have milk or juice," mom says.
+
+Lily pouts. She wants to try coffee. She thinks it smells good. She sees mom put her cup on the table and go to the bathroom.
+
+Lily sneaks to the table and grabs the cup. She takes a sip of coffee. She makes a face. It is not good. It is hot and bitter. She spits it out.
+
+Max sees Lily and laughs. He teases her. "You don't like coffee, do you? You are silly. Coffee is yucky. Milk is yummy."
+
+Lily feels angry and embarrassed. She throws the cup at Max. The coffee spills on him. He cries. He is wet and sticky.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes back. She sees the mess and the twins. She is not happy. She scolds them. "What are you doing? You made a big mess. You wasted my coffee. You hurt each other. You are naughty."
+
+Lily and Max feel sorry. They say sorry to mom and to each other. They help mom clean up. They hug and make up. They promise not to tease each other again. They drink their milk and juice. They learn their lesson. Coffee is not for kids.
+Tom was a boy who liked to make things. He had a big box of toys and tools that he used to make cars, planes, robots and more. He was very good at making things, and he was happy when he played with them.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to make something new. He looked at his box and saw some white wool. He thought, "I can make a sheep with this wool. A sheep is a soft and fluffy animal that lives on a farm. I like sheep." He took the wool and some scissors and glue and started to make a sheep.
+
+He cut the wool into small pieces and glued them together to make a body, a head, four legs and a tail. He used two black buttons for the eyes and a pink pom-pom for the nose. He was very proud of his sheep and gave it a hug. He said, "You are my new friend. I will call you Woolly."
+
+Tom wanted to show his sheep to his mom and dad. He ran to the living room, where they were watching TV. He said, "Look, mom and dad, I made a sheep. His name is Woolly. Do you like him?" He held up his sheep and smiled.
+
+But mom and dad did not look happy. They looked gloomy. They said, "Tom, we are sorry, but we have some bad news. We have to move to a new house. We have to pack all our things and leave tomorrow. We can't take all your toys and tools with us. We only have a small car. You have to choose only a few things to keep. The rest we have to give away or throw away."
+
+Tom felt very sad. He loved his toys and tools. He loved his sheep. He did not want to move to a new house. He did not want to lose his things. He said, "But mom and dad, I can't do that. I need all my things. They are my friends. They make me happy. Please, can we stay here?"
+
+Mom and dad hugged Tom and said, "We know, Tom, we know. We are sad too. But we have no choice. We have to move. We have to find a new job and a new school. We have to start a new life. We will try to make it fun and exciting. We will try to find a new place where you can play and make things. We will always love you and support you. And we will always be your friends. No matter where we go, we will always be a family."
+
+Tom felt a little better. He knew mom and dad loved him. He knew they were doing their best. He knew they would always be with him. He said, "OK, mom and dad, I understand. I will try to be brave and happy. I will try to make new friends. But can I keep Woolly? He is my newest friend. He is very special. He is the only sheep I ever made."
+
+Mom and dad smiled and said, "Of course, Tom, of course. You can keep Woolly. He is very special indeed. He is a wonderful sheep. You did a great job making him. He can come with us to the new house. He can be your travel buddy. He can help you feel cozy and safe. He can be your friend forever."
+
+Tom hugged Woolly and said, "Thank you, mom and dad, thank you. I love you. And I love Woolly. He is my best sheep. He is my best friend." He felt a little less sad and a little more hopeful. He thought, "Maybe the new house will be nice. Maybe I will find new things to make. Maybe I will have fun and be happy. Maybe Woolly and I will have a new adventure." He smiled and said, "Come on, Woolly, let's go pack. We have a big day tomorrow."
+Ben was a fish who lived in a small bowl. He liked to swim and play with his toys, but he was lonely. He had no friends to talk to or share his food with. He wished he had a bigger bowl and more fish to keep him company.
+
+One day, Ben saw a big box on the table next to his bowl. He heard his mom say, "This is a surprise for Ben. He will love it!" Ben was curious and excited. He wondered what was in the box. Maybe it was a new toy or a bigger bowl or some friends for him.
+
+The next day, his mom opened the box and took out a big bag. Inside the bag, Ben saw many colorful fish swimming and bubbling. His mom said, "Look, Ben, these are your new friends. They are called guppies. They will live with you in your new tank. You will have so much fun with them!" She poured the bag into a big tank with plants and rocks and a castle. She moved Ben from his bowl to the tank. He felt a splash of fresh water and a rush of space.
+
+Ben was amazed and happy. He swam around the tank and explored the new things. He saw the guppies and said hello to them. They said hello back and invited him to play. They chased each other, hid in the castle, and nibbled on the plants. Ben felt warm and cheerful. He was not lonely anymore. He had a big tank and many friends. He thanked his mom for the surprise and said, "I love it!" His mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you do, Ben. You deserve it. You are a good fish and you have grown so much."
+Lily and Tom were playing with a big red ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it very high and it went over the fence.
+
+One day, they bounced the ball too hard and it flew over the fence and into the street. They ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw a car coming fast. The car hit the ball and made a loud noise. The ball popped and became a flat strip of rubber.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Our ball is gone!"
+
+Tom was angry. He shouted at the car. "Hey, you! You broke our ball! That was not nice!"
+
+The car stopped and a man got out. He looked at the ball and then at the children. He was ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. I didn't see the ball. It was an accident. Are you OK?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They were not hurt, but they were sad. They liked their ball.
+
+The man felt bad. He said, "Here, take this." He gave them a new ball. It was blue and shiny. It had stars on it.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at the ball. They smiled. They said, "Thank you, mister. That was very kind."
+
+The man smiled too. He said, "You're welcome. Be careful with your ball. Don't bounce it too high. Have fun."
+
+He got back in his car and drove away. Lily and Tom waved at him. They went back to the park and played with their new ball. They bounced it and caught it. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are playing with shapes. They have a box with many shapes. They can put the shapes in holes that have the same shape.
+
+Lily picks up a shape that is round and has no corners. She looks for the hole that is round and has no corners. She finds it and puts the shape in. She is happy.
+
+Tom picks up a shape that has four corners and four sides. He looks for the hole that has four corners and four sides. He finds it and puts the shape in. He is happy.
+
+They take turns to pick up shapes and put them in holes. They have fun.
+
+Then, Lily picks up a shape that is wide and has three corners. She looks for the hole that is wide and has three corners. She cannot find it. She is sad.
+
+She shows the shape to Tom and says, "Tom, where is the hole for this shape? I cannot find it."
+
+Tom looks at the shape and says, "Lily, that is not a shape. That is a hat. It is my hat. You cannot put it in the hole. You can put it on your head."
+
+Lily looks at the hat and says, "Oh, I see. It is a hat. It is your hat. I am sorry. I will not put it in the hole. I will put it on your head."
+
+She puts the hat on Tom's head and says, "There. You look nice. Can I try it too?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, you can try it too. We can share the hat. We can take turns to wear it."
+
+They take turns to wear the hat and play with shapes. They have more fun.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in summer. They run, jump, and laugh in the sun. They see flowers, birds, and bugs. They have fun.
+
+But today is very hot. Tom and Mia feel tired. They sit under a big tree. They drink water from their bottles. They yawn. They want to sleep.
+
+"Can we sleep here?" Mia asks Tom.
+
+"No, we have to go home soon," Tom says. "Mom and Dad will be worried."
+
+"But I'm sleepy," Mia says. "And the grass is soft."
+
+Tom thinks. He is sleepy too. He looks at the sky. He sees a deep blue color. He sees white clouds. He sees a bird fly by.
+
+"Okay, we can sleep a little," Tom says. "But not too long. We have to wake up before the sun goes down."
+
+Mia smiles. She lies down on the grass. She closes her eyes. Tom lies down next to her. He closes his eyes too. They sleep. They dream. They are happy.
+Anna was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and read her books. But today, she had to go to a big party with her mom and dad. There would be many people she did not know. She felt scared.
+
+At the party, Anna saw a big cake. It looked yummy. She wanted a piece. But she did not want to ask anyone. She waited until no one was looking. Then she took a fork and tried to cut a piece of cake. But the cake was too hard. She pushed harder and harder with the fork. The fork slipped and hit her hand. It hurt. She cried.
+
+"Ouch! What happened?" Mom came and saw Anna's hand. It was bleeding. She took Anna to the bathroom and washed her hand. She put a band-aid on it. She hugged Anna and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. Are you okay?"
+
+Anna nodded. She felt better. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted cake. But I did not ask. I used a fork. It was hard. It cut me."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "It's okay, Anna. I understand. You were shy. But you don't have to be afraid. You can ask me or Dad or anyone for help. We are here for you. And you can make new friends. They are nice. They want to play with you. Do you want to try?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She said, "Yes, Mom. I want to try. Can I have some cake?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, Anna. Let's go get some cake. But this time, let's use a knife. It's easier to cut with a knife. And let's share with someone. Maybe you can find a new friend who likes cake too."
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Anna. Come on, let's go have some fun."
+Ben and Lily were going to visit their grandma for a week. They were very happy, because grandma had a big house with a garden and many toys. They packed their bags with clothes, books and teddy bears.
+
+When they arrived, grandma gave them a big hug and a kiss. She said, "Welcome, my sweeties! I'm so glad you're here. Come, let me show you your room." She took their bags and led them upstairs.
+
+Ben and Lily followed her, but Ben was struggling with his bag. It was very heavy and he had to drag it on the floor. He said, "Grandma, can you help me? My bag is too heavy for me. I don't have enough muscle."
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. Here, let me take it for you. You're still a little boy, but you'll grow big and strong soon. Don't worry, you have plenty of muscle in your heart and your brain."
+
+They reached their room and grandma put their bags on the bed. She said, "Now, you can unpack and make yourselves comfortable. I'll go and make some cookies for you. Do you like chocolate chip cookies?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, grandma, we love chocolate chip cookies. Thank you, grandma. You're the best."
+
+Grandma said, "You're welcome, my darlings. I'll be back in a few minutes. Have fun unpacking."
+
+Ben and Lily started to unpack their bags. They took out their clothes and put them in the drawers. They took out their books and put them on the shelf. They took out their teddy bears and put them on the pillows.
+
+They looked around and saw that their room was very cozy and nice. They had a big window that looked over the garden. They had a colorful rug that felt soft under their feet. They had a lamp that made a warm light.
+
+They smiled and hugged each other. They said, "We're going to have a great time here. Grandma is so kind and generous. We love her very much."
+
+They heard grandma calling them from downstairs. She said, "Cookies are ready, kids. Come and get them while they're hot."
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the door. They said, "Coming, grandma. We're hungry and excited."
+
+They went downstairs and saw grandma waiting for them with a plate of cookies and a jug of milk. She said, "Here you go, my sweeties. Enjoy your snack. You've been very good and helpful. I'm proud of you."
+
+Ben and Lily said, "Thank you, grandma. You're amazing. We're happy to be here with you."
+
+They sat down and ate their cookies and drank their milk. They talked and laughed with grandma. They felt warm and loved. They knew they were going to have a wonderful week.
+Jen loves to sing. She sings every day. She sings in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sings to her toys, to her mom, to her dad, and to her cat. She sings happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. Singing makes her feel good.
+
+One day, Jen goes to school. She sees her teacher and her friends. They are going to have a show. They are going to sing and dance and make shapes with their bodies. Jen is excited. She wants to be in the show. She wants to sing and make shapes.
+
+The teacher picks Jen to be the star of the show. She gives her a microphone and a hat. She tells her to sing a song about shapes. Jen is nervous. She does not know a song about shapes. She thinks hard. She remembers some shapes. She remembers a circle, a square, a triangle, and a heart.
+
+Jen starts to sing. She sings, "I see a circle, round and round. I see a square, with four sides. I see a triangle, with three points. I see a heart, that means love." She makes the shapes with her hands and her hat. She sings loud and clear. She sings with a smile.
+
+The teacher and the friends clap and cheer. They like Jen's song. They like her shapes. They think she is successful. Jen is happy. She is proud. She sings again. She sings, "I love to sing, sing, sing. I love to make shapes, shapes, shapes. I love to be in the show, show, show. I love to be me, me, me."
+One day, Sam and Mia were playing in the garden. They saw a big worm crawling on the ground. Sam wanted to catch it and put it in a jar. Mia said, "No, Sam, that is not nice. The worm is happy in the soil. Leave it alone."
+
+But Sam did not listen. He ran after the worm and grabbed it. He put it in a jar and closed the lid. He said, "Look, Mia, I have a worm. It is mine now. I will keep it as a pet."
+
+Mia shook her head. She said, "Sam, the worm is not a pet. It is a living thing. It needs air and water and food. It is not happy in the jar. It is uncomfortable. Please let it go."
+
+But Sam did not listen. He said, "No, Mia, the worm is fine. It is small and quiet. It does not need anything. It is fun to watch it wiggle."
+
+Mia sighed. She said, "Sam, you are being selfish and mean. The worm is not a toy. It is a friend. How would you feel if someone put you in a jar and did not let you out?"
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He said, "I would feel scared and sad and angry. I would want to get out. I would want to be free."
+
+Mia said, "That is how the worm feels. It wants to get out. It wants to be free. It does not like you. It is afraid of you. If you keep it in the jar, it will die."
+
+Sam felt sorry. He said, "Oh, Mia, I did not know. I did not mean to hurt the worm. I thought it was cool. I wanted to have a pet. But I see now that I was wrong. I will let the worm go."
+
+Sam opened the jar and gently put the worm back on the ground. The worm crawled away. Sam said, "Bye, worm. I am sorry. I hope you are happy."
+
+Mia smiled. She said, "Good, Sam. You did the right thing. You are a kind and caring brother. The worm is happy. And I am happy too."
+
+Sam hugged Mia. He said, "Thank you, Mia. You are a smart and helpful sister. You taught me a lesson. I will not catch worms anymore. I will respect them and their home."
+
+Mia hugged Sam. She said, "You are welcome, Sam. You learned a lesson. You will not shrink worms anymore. You will love them and their life."
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to paint with her brush. She had many colors to make pretty pictures. But today, she was not happy. Her brother Ben took her brush and dipped it in his water. He said it was a joke, but Lily did not laugh. She was angry and sad. Her brush was soaked and ruined.
+
+She tried to get her brush back, but Ben ran away. He hid behind the sofa and laughed. Lily chased him, but she could not catch him. She felt miserable. She wanted to paint, but she had no brush. She cried and cried.
+
+Mom heard Lily crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben behind the sofa and Lily on the floor. She asked them what happened. Ben said he was just playing, but Mom did not believe him. She scolded him for being mean to his sister. She told him to say sorry and give back the brush.
+
+Ben said sorry, but he did not mean it. He gave back the brush, but it was still wet and dirty. Lily did not want it anymore. She said it was broken. Mom saw how upset Lily was. She hugged her and said she was sorry too. She said she would get her a new brush and some more colors. She said they could paint together and make a beautiful picture.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Mom. She felt better. She said thank you and said she loved Mom. Mom said she loved Lily too. She said they should also talk to Ben and help him be nicer. She said they were a family and they should love each other. Lily agreed. She hoped Ben would learn to share and be kind. She hoped they could all paint together and have fun.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to pretend they were police and catch the bad guys. Anna had a blue car and Ben had a red car.
+
+"Guess what, Ben?" Anna said. "I see a bad guy over there. He is hiding behind the tree. Let's go catch him!"
+
+"Okay, Anna!" Ben said. "But be careful. He might have a big stick or a rock."
+
+They drove their cars towards the tree, making loud siren noises. They hoped the bad guy would be scared and come out.
+
+But when they got to the tree, they saw that the bad guy was not a bad guy at all. He was a squirrel. He had a big nut in his mouth and he looked at them with his small eyes.
+
+"Oops!" Anna said. "We made a mistake. He is not a bad guy. He is a squirrel. He is just looking for food."
+
+"Sorry, squirrel!" Ben said. "We did not mean to scare you. You can have your nut. We will go find another bad guy."
+
+The squirrel did not say anything. He just ran up the tree with his nut. Anna and Ben drove their cars away, looking for a new adventure. They still liked to play police, but they learned to guess better.
+Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a shiny faucet in the bathroom. She wondered what would happen if she turned it on. She climbed on a stool and reached for the faucet.
+
+"Stop, Lily!" her brother Jake shouted. "You will make a big mess!"
+
+Lily ignored him and turned the faucet. Water came out and splashed everywhere. Lily giggled and played with the water. She felt happy and wet.
+
+Jake ran to the bathroom and saw the water on the floor and the walls. He was angry and scared. He grabbed a towel and tried to dry the water. He also turned off the faucet.
+
+"Lily, you are naughty!" he said. "Mom will be mad at you!"
+
+Lily looked at Jake and smiled. She peeked behind the towel and said, "Sorry, Jake. But it was fun!"
+
+Jake sighed and shook his head. He loved his sister, but she was too adventurous sometimes. He hoped Mom would not be too mad. He hugged Lily and said, "Next time, ask me before you turn on the faucet, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Jake. I love you."
+
+They cleaned the bathroom together and waited for Mom to come home. They hoped she would not be too mad. They hoped she would still love them.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the museum with Mom and Dad. The museum has many things to see and learn. Anna likes the animals and Ben likes the cars.
+
+One day, they go to the museum and see a big sign. The sign says "Zip Line". Mom and Dad say they can try it. Anna and Ben are excited. They put on helmets and gloves. They climb up a ladder. They see a long rope with a handle. They hold the handle and zip across the air. They feel the wind and see the trees. They laugh and scream. They zip back and forth. They have fun.
+
+When they are done, they say thank you to the man who helps them. They go to see more things in the museum. They see a big dinosaur and a shiny rocket. They learn new words and facts. They have a good day. They tell Mom and Dad they want to come back. Mom and Dad say they are proud of them. They hug and kiss. They go home happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big red truck with a loud siren. It was a fireman truck. They wanted to see it up close.
+
+They ran to the truck and saw a fireman with a yellow hat and a hose. He was smiling and waving at them. Tom and Lily waved back.
+
+"Hello, fireman!" Tom said. "What are you doing?"
+
+The fireman replied, "We are here to help. There is a fire in a house nearby. We are going to put it out with water."
+
+"Wow, you are very brave!" Lily said. "Can we help you?"
+
+The fireman replied, "No, thank you. You are very kind, but this is a dangerous job. You have to stay away from the fire. It is very hot and can hurt you."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They did not want to get hurt.
+
+"Can we watch you?" Tom asked.
+
+The fireman replied, "Yes, you can watch from a safe distance. But you have to listen to me and do what I say. If I tell you to move, you have to move. OK?"
+
+Tom and Lily agreed. They said, "OK, fireman. We will listen to you."
+
+They followed the fireman to a spot where they could see the fire. It was a big fire. It was making a lot of smoke and noise. The fireman and his friends used the hose to spray water on the fire. They worked hard and fast.
+
+Tom and Lily watched with wonder. They cheered for the fireman and his friends. They were very strong and smart. They were not afraid of the fire.
+
+Tom and Lily felt weak and small. They could not do what the fireman and his friends did. They wished they could be like them.
+
+The fireman saw them and smiled. He came over to them and said, "You are very good children. You did what I told you. You stayed safe. You are not weak and small. You are strong and big in your heart. You are my helpers. Thank you for being here."
+
+Tom and Lily felt happy and proud. They hugged the fireman and said, "Thank you, fireman. You are our hero. You are the best."
+
+The fireman hugged them back and said, "You are welcome, children. You are my friends. You are the best."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. They love their family very much.
+
+One day, their mom says, "We are going to the doctor today. He will check how big and strong you are. He will weigh you and measure you and listen to your heart."
+
+Lily and Ben are curious. They want to know how much they weigh. They ask their mom, "How much do we weigh, mom?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "You will find out soon. But you have to be patient and wait. The doctor will tell you when it is your turn."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They hold their mom's hand and walk to the car. Spot follows them and barks. He wants to go with them. Mom says, "Sorry, Spot. You have to stay home. You are too big for the car. But we will be back soon. Be a good boy."
+
+Spot wags his tail and watches them go. He loves his family very much. He waits for them to come back. He is patient and good.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, swings, slides, and pigeons. Pigeons are birds that have gray and white feathers and make cooing sounds. Sara and Ben like to watch the pigeons fly and eat.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben see a pigeon that is different from the others. It has a shiny thing around its neck. It looks like a necklace, but it is not a necklace. It is a modern thing that people use to talk to each other. It is called a phone.
+
+"Wow, look at that pigeon!" Sara says. "It has a phone!"
+
+"Maybe it is a smart pigeon," Ben says. "Maybe it can talk to us."
+
+Sara and Ben try to get closer to the pigeon, but the pigeon is shy and flies away. Sara and Ben follow the pigeon, but they have to be careful not to scare it. They want to see the phone and hear the pigeon talk.
+
+The pigeon lands on a bench, where a man is sitting. The man is wearing a coat and a hat. He looks like he is waiting for someone. He does not see the pigeon or the phone.
+
+Sara and Ben run to the bench and try to talk to the pigeon.
+
+"Hello, pigeon," Sara says. "Can you talk to us?"
+
+"Where did you get the phone?" Ben asks. "Is it yours?"
+
+The pigeon does not answer. It only coos. The phone does not ring. It only glows.
+
+The man looks up and sees Sara and Ben. He also sees the pigeon and the phone. He is surprised and angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" he says. "That's my phone! That pigeon stole it from me!"
+
+He tries to grab the phone from the pigeon, but the pigeon is faster. It flies away with the phone, leaving the man, Sara, and Ben behind.
+
+Sara and Ben laugh. They think the pigeon is funny and clever. They also think the man is silly and mean.
+
+They decide to leave the park and go home. They hope to see the pigeon again. They wonder who the pigeon will call with the phone. Maybe another pigeon. Maybe a friend. Maybe a family.
+
+They also wonder what other modern things the pigeon will wrap around its neck. Maybe a watch. Maybe a camera. Maybe a necklace. They think the pigeon is the coolest pigeon in the park.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and have fun. But sometimes they fought over who got the best toy or the most candy. One day, their mom gave them a big, bright balloon. It was red and shiny and had a long string.
+
+"Wow, what a nice balloon!" Lily said. "Can I have it, please?"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "Mom gave it to me!"
+
+They both pulled on the string and tried to twist it away from each other. The balloon bounced and bobbed in the air.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. "You have to share the balloon. It's big enough for both of you. If you keep fighting, you might pop it and lose it."
+
+But Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept pulling and twisting and shouting. They did not see the sharp nail on the wall. The balloon hit the nail and went bang! It popped and flew away in pieces. Lily and Ben were left with nothing but the string.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sad. They had lost their balloon because they were greedy and selfish. They wished they had shared it and played nicely.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I should have let you have a turn with the balloon."
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Ben," Lily said. "I should have been more kind to you."
+
+They hugged and said they were sorry to Mom, too. Mom smiled and gave them a hug. She said she was glad they learned their lesson.
+
+"Next time, remember to share and be fair," Mom said. "That's how you show love and respect. And that's how you have more fun."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and agreed. They decided to play with their other toys and share them. They learned that twisting and fighting was not good. Sharing and caring was better. They were happy and grateful for what they had. And they hoped that next year, they would get another balloon.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with cards. Lily has red cards and Ben has blue cards. They take turns to show a card. The card with the bigger number wins.
+
+Lily shows a card with five. Ben shows a card with four. Lily wins. She is happy. Ben shows a card with six. Lily shows a card with three. Ben wins. He is happy. They keep playing until they have no more cards.
+
+Lily and Ben count their cards. Lily has eight cards. Ben has seven cards. Lily wins the game. She is very happy. She jumps and claps. Ben is sad. He frowns and cries.
+
+Lily sees Ben crying. She feels sorry for him. She says, "Don't cry, Ben. You are a good friend. Do you want to share my cards?" Ben nods. He stops crying. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend too. Do you want to play another game?"
+
+Lily and Ben play another game. They play hide and seek. Lily hides behind the sofa. Ben counts to ten. He looks for Lily. He finds her. He says, "I found you, Lily. You are slow." Lily laughs. She says, "You are fast, Ben. Now it is your turn to hide."
+
+Ben hides under the bed. Lily counts to ten. She looks for Ben. She can't find him. She looks everywhere. She is tired. She says, "Where are you, Ben? I give up." Ben comes out from under the bed. He says, "I win, Lily. You are slow." Lily laughs. She says, "You are fast, Ben. But you are also sneaky."
+
+Lily and Ben are tired. They lie down on the sofa. They close their eyes. They take a nap. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Sam like to play with their dinosaur toys. They have many dinosaurs of different colors and sizes. They make them roar and run and fight in the backyard.
+
+One day, they find a big gray dinosaur in the trash. It is very dirty and smells bad. Tom says, "Look, Sam, a new dinosaur! Let's play with it!"
+
+Sam says, "No, Tom, that dinosaur is bad. It is not a toy. It is rot. It will make us sick. We should leave it alone."
+
+Tom says, "But it is so big and cool. Maybe we can clean it and make it good. Please, Sam, let's try."
+
+Sam says, "No, Tom, it is too late. That dinosaur is gone. It cannot be good again. Come on, let's play with our other dinosaurs. They are clean and fun."
+
+Tom is sad, but he listens to Sam. He leaves the gray dinosaur in the trash. He and Sam play with their other dinosaurs. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the gray dinosaur. They are happy.
+Lily liked to play the flute. She had a small flute that made pretty sounds. She played it every day in her room. She wanted to show her flute to her friend Ben.
+
+One day, she went to Ben's house. She brought her flute with her. She knocked on the door. Ben opened it. He was happy to see Lily.
+
+"Hi, Lily! Do you want to play with me?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, please! I have something to show you. It is my flute. I can play it for you," Lily said.
+
+She took out her flute from her bag. Ben looked at it. He was curious.
+
+"Wow, that is a nice flute. Can I try it?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked her flute very much. But she also liked Ben. He was her friend. She decided to be kind.
+
+"Okay, you can try it. But be careful. It is my favorite thing. You have to give it back to me later," Lily said.
+
+She handed her flute to Ben. Ben smiled. He thanked Lily. He put the flute to his mouth. He blew into it. But nothing happened. He blew harder. Still nothing. He frowned.
+
+"Why is it not working? I can't make any sound," Ben said.
+
+Lily looked at Ben. She saw something that made her gasp. Ben had a large piece of candy in his mouth. It was blocking the flute. Lily felt angry and sad.
+
+"Ben, you have candy in your mouth! That is why you can't play the flute. You have to take it out. You are making my flute dirty and sticky," Lily said.
+
+She reached for her flute. But Ben pulled it away. He did not want to give it back. He wanted to keep the candy and the flute.
+
+"No, it is mine now. I like it. You can't have it," Ben said.
+
+He ran away from Lily. He went to his room. He locked the door. Lily followed him. She banged on the door. She cried.
+
+"Ben, give me back my flute! That is not nice. That is not how friends act. You have to share and lend. You have to say sorry," Lily said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He did not open the door. He did not say sorry. He did not care.
+
+Lily felt very sad. She wished she had not lent her flute to Ben. She wished she had a better friend. She went back to her house. She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her. She said she was sorry. She said she would talk to Ben's mom. She said she would get her flute back. She said she was proud of Lily for being kind and generous. She said she loved her.
+
+Lily felt a little better. She hoped Ben would learn his lesson. She hoped he would be a good friend. She hoped she would get her flute back. She hoped it would still make pretty sounds.
+Tom and Lily liked to collect things. They had a big box full of shells, rocks, feathers, and other things they found outside. One day, they went to the park to look for more things to collect.
+
+They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wondered what was inside. They went closer and peeked inside. They saw a shiny thing. It was a necklace with a star on it.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It's so pretty. Can we take it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe it's a witch's necklace."
+
+"A witch?" Tom said. "There are no witches. Witches are only in stories. Come on, let's take it. It will look nice in our box."
+
+Tom reached inside the hole and grabbed the necklace. He pulled it out and put it around his neck. He felt a tingling sensation. He looked at Lily and saw that she looked different. She had a long nose, a pointy hat, and a black dress. She looked like a witch!
+
+Lily looked at Tom and saw that he looked different too. He had a long beard, a purple robe, and a staff. He looked like a wizard!
+
+"What happened?" Lily said. "You look funny. You look like a wizard."
+
+"You look funny too," Tom said. "You look like a witch."
+
+They heard a loud laugh. It came from the hole. They saw a face inside. It was an old woman with a crooked smile. She was a real witch!
+
+"Hello, children," she said. "Did you like my necklace? It's not a regular necklace. It's a magic necklace. It changes you into what you pretend to be. And now, you are mine. You will be my new helpers. Come with me to my house. I have a lot of work for you to do."
+
+She reached out her hand and grabbed Tom and Lily. She pulled them inside the hole. They tried to scream, but no one heard them. They wished they had never taken the necklace. They wished they had never collected things. They wished they had never met the witch.
+Sara was new in the classroom. She did not know anyone. She felt sad and scared. She sat on a chair and looked at the toys. She wanted to play, but she did not have a friend.
+
+Then, a boy came to her. He had a big smile. He said, "Hi, I am Ben. Do you want to play with me?" Sara nodded. She liked his smile. Ben took her hand and showed her the blocks. They built a big tower together. Sara felt happy.
+
+Soon, it was time for snack. Sara and Ben sat next to each other. They shared their cookies and juice. They talked and laughed. Sara said, "You are very nice. Thank you for playing with me." Ben said, "You are very nice too. You are my friend." They gave each other a hug. Sara felt warm and safe.
+
+The teacher saw them and smiled. She said, "I am glad you are having fun. You are both good students. You are kind to each other." Sara and Ben felt proud. They liked the teacher. They liked the classroom. They liked their new friend. They hugged again. They were happy.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them bread and watch them swim. They ran to the pond with their bag of bread.
+
+But Tim was naughty. He wanted to have fun and make a splash. He threw big pieces of bread into the water and laughed. The ducks and fish got scared and swam away. Kim was sad. She wanted to see the ducks and fish up close. She asked Tim to stop, but he did not listen.
+
+Then Tim saw a smooth stone on the ground. He thought it would make a bigger splash. He picked it up and threw it as hard as he could. But he did not see the frog on the stone. The frog was sleeping and did not know what was happening. The stone flew into the air with the frog on it.
+
+The stone landed in the water with a loud splash. The frog landed on Tim's head with a soft thud. Tim was surprised and scared. He screamed and ran away. Kim laughed and felt sorry for the frog. She picked up the frog and put it back on the stone. She said sorry to the frog and gave it a piece of bread. The frog was happy and croaked. The ducks and fish came back and ate the bread. Kim was happy and watched them with wonder.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not be naughty and scare the animals. Be kind and gentle and they will be your friends.
+Lily was a cute girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a pink bathrobe that she wore every morning and night. She also had a toy car that she liked to drive around the house.
+
+One day, Lily decided to drive her car to the kitchen, where her mom was making breakfast. She put on her bathrobe and got in her car. She made a loud vroom-vroom sound as she drove.
+
+"Good morning, Lily," her mom said. "Are you ready for some pancakes?"
+
+"Yes, please," Lily said. "But first, I have to park my car."
+
+She drove her car to a corner of the kitchen and got out. She ran to her mom and gave her a hug.
+
+"You are such a good driver, Lily," her mom said. "But you know what? You also need to brush your teeth and wash your face before you eat."
+
+"Okay, mom," Lily said. "But can I wear my bathrobe?"
+
+"Sure, you can," her mom said. "But only for a little while. Then you have to change into your clothes."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She loved her bathrobe and her car. She was a happy girl.
+One day, Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for insects and put them in a jar. They found a big spider, a green caterpillar and a red ladybug.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a spider!" Ben said. "It is very scary and hairy."
+
+"I have a caterpillar!" Lily said. "It is very soft and wiggly."
+
+They both looked at the ladybug. It was shiny and pretty. They both wanted it.
+
+"Give me the ladybug!" Ben said. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, I want the ladybug!" Lily said. "It is my favorite!"
+
+They started to pull the jar from each other. The jar was about to fall and break.
+
+"Stop, stop!" a voice said. It was Mom. She came to see what was going on.
+
+"What are you doing, children?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+"We both want the ladybug!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at the jar. She saw the insects inside. She felt sorry for them.
+
+"Children, do you think the insects are happy in the jar?" Mom asked. "Do you think they want to be free?"
+
+Ben and Lily thought for a moment. They realized that the insects were not happy. They felt bad for them.
+
+"Maybe we should let them go," Ben said.
+
+"Yes, maybe we should," Lily said.
+
+They decided to surrender the jar to Mom. Mom opened the lid and let the insects out. The spider crawled away, the caterpillar climbed on a leaf and the ladybug flew in the air.
+
+"Thank you, children," Mom said. "That was very polite of you. You made the insects happy."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled. They felt happy too. They hugged Mom and each other.
+
+"Can we look for more insects, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Only if you promise to be gentle and kind to them," Mom said.
+
+"We promise, Mom," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the garden again. They looked for more insects, but this time they did not put them in a jar. They just watched them and learned about them. They had fun and did not fight anymore.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play games. One day, they play hide and seek. Ben counts to ten and then looks for Lily. He looks under the bed, behind the sofa, and in the closet. He cannot find Lily.
+
+He hears a giggle from the kitchen. He runs to the kitchen and sees a big jar on the table. The jar is full of money. Ben thinks Lily is hiding in the jar. He tries to open the lid, but it is too tight. He pulls and pulls, but the lid does not move.
+
+He hears another giggle from behind the curtain. He turns around and sees Lily peeking out. She is not in the jar. She is hiding behind the curtain. She tricked Ben. She put the jar on the table to make Ben think she was in it.
+
+Ben laughs and says, "You are very clever, Lily. You fooled me. But I found you. Now it is your turn to count and my turn to hide."
+
+Lily nods and says, "OK, Ben. I will count to ten and then look for you. But I will find you faster than you found me. I am very good at hide and seek."

+They put the jar back on the shelf and play again. They have fun. They love each other. They are happy twins.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a fat dog with a big bone. Lily wanted the bone, but Tom said no.
+
+"That is not our bone. It is the dog's bone. We should not take it," Tom said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran to the dog and tried to grab the bone. The dog did not like that. It growled and bit Lily's hand. Lily cried out in pain and let go of the bone.
+
+Tom ran to help Lily. He wrapped his scarf around her hand and took her to the bench. He saw a lady with a red cross on her shirt. He called her over.
+
+"Please help my friend. She has a bite on her hand," Tom said.
+
+The lady was a nurse. She looked at Lily's hand and said, "You are lucky. The bite is not deep. But you need to wash it and put a band-aid on it. And you need to learn a lesson. You should never take things that are not yours. You could get hurt or make someone angry."
+
+Lily nodded. She was sorry for what she did. She said sorry to the dog and to Tom. She thanked the nurse and the dog for being kind. She learned to be more careful and respectful. She and Tom went home and hugged their parents. They were still friends who liked to play in the park.

+
+Tom and Sue nod. They like bread and cakes and cookies.
+
+"Then you can have some of my wheat. But you have to share it with the farmer. He is the one who planted it and takes care of it. He is very nice. He gave me this hat and this coat."
+

+
+"Help, help!" Anna cried. "The flower has my hand! It hurts!"
+
+Ben was scared. He did not know what to do. He tried to pull Anna's hand out of the flower, but it was too strong. He shouted for help, but no one heard him. The flower squeezed Anna's hand harder and harder. Anna screamed and cried.
+
+The flower was happy. It had a tasty snack. It did not care about Anna and Ben. It only cared about itself. It was a bad, bad flower.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies on a mission. They had sticks as weapons and hats as disguises. They had to be very quiet so no one would see them.
+
+They saw a big dog near the swings. It was barking and running around. Ben and Mia thought it was a bad guy. They decided to sneak up on it and capture it.
+
+"Are you ready, Mia?" Ben whispered.
+
+"Yes, Ben. Let's go!" Mia whispered back.
+
+They crawled behind the bushes and waited for the right moment. They saw the dog stop and sniff the air. It looked around, but did not see them.
+
+"Now!" Ben said. He jumped out of the bushes and waved his stick at the dog. "Freeze, bad guy! You are under arrest!"
+
+The dog was surprised and scared. It growled and showed its teeth. It did not like Ben's stick.
+
+Mia followed Ben and tried to help him. She threw her hat at the dog. "Go away, bad guy! Leave us alone!"

+The dog did not like Mia's hat either. It snapped at it and tore it apart. It was angry and loud.
+
+Ben and Mia were afraid. They realized the dog was not a bad guy, but a real animal. They did not know what to do. They dropped their sticks and ran away.
+
+They managed to get to the slide and climbed up. They hoped the dog would not follow them. They hugged each other and breathed hard.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Mia asked.
+
+"Yes, Mia. Are you okay?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, Ben. I'm sorry, I lost my hat." Mia said.
+
+"It's okay, Mia. I'm sorry, I scared the dog." Ben said.
+
+They looked at the dog. It was still barking and running around. It did not seem to care about them anymore. It was looking for something else.
+
+"Maybe it was hungry, Ben." Mia said.
+
+"Maybe it was lonely, Mia." Ben said.
+
+They felt sorry for the dog. They wished they had something nice to give it. They wondered if it had a home and a friend.
+
+They decided to stop playing spies and go back to their mom. They hoped the dog would find some food and some love. They learned that sticks and hats were not good weapons. They learned that being quiet was not always fun. They learned that dogs were not bad guys. They learned to be kind and careful.

+
+The neighbor laughed and said, "Oh, Sam, you are a funny boy. I'm sorry you hit a prune and hurt your knee. But I'm glad you are okay. And I'm glad you tried a prune. Maybe you will like it better next time."
+
+Sam shook his head and said, "No, thank you. I don't want to try a prune again. I don't like prunes. I like bikes. But I like my bike better than yours. It is not so organized. It has no bell, no light, and no lock. And it has no prunes."

+She looks around the garden for Ben. She sees a big bush with pink flowers. She thinks Ben might be hiding behind it. She walks quietly to the bush and peeks behind it. But there is no Ben, only a cheerful fly buzzing around the flowers.
+
+"Hello, fly," Lila says. "Have you seen Ben?"
+
+The fly does not answer. It just flies away to another flower. Lila giggles and keeps looking for Ben.
+
+She sees a small shed with a blue door. She thinks Ben might be hiding inside it. She runs to the shed and opens the door. But there is no Ben, only a dusty bike and a broken toy car.
+
+"Hello, bike and car," Lila says. "Have you seen Ben?"
+
+The bike and the car do not answer. They just stay still and silent. Lila shrugs and closes the door.
+
+She sees a tall tree with green leaves. She thinks Ben might be hiding in it. She climbs the tree and looks for Ben. But there is no Ben, only a noisy bird singing on a branch.
+
+"Hello, bird," Lila says. "Have you seen Ben?"
+
+The bird looks at Lila and says, "Yes, I have seen Ben. He is hiding under the slide. He is very good at hiding. But you are very good at seeking. Do you want to know a secret?"
+
+Lila nods and says, "Yes, please."
+
+The bird says, "If you say 'boo' very loud, Ben will jump out and laugh. He likes surprises. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lila smiles and says, "Yes, thank you."
+
+She climbs down the tree and runs to the slide. She sees Ben's feet sticking out from under it. She creeps closer and closer. Then she says, "Boo!" very loud.
+
+Ben jumps out and laughs. He says, "You found me, Lila! You are the best seeker ever!"
+
+Lila laughs too. She says, "You are the best hider ever, Ben! And the bird helped me. He told me a secret."
+
+Ben says, "What secret?"
+
+Lila says, "I'll tell you later. Let's play again. This time, you are the seeker and I am the hider."
+
+Ben says, "OK. Let's play again. I love hide and seek. And I love you, Lila."
+
+Lila says, "I love you too, Ben. And I love hide and seek. And I love the fly, the bike, the car, and the bird. They are all our friends."
+
+They hug and then start a new game. They are very happy and have a lot of fun.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with a rope. The rope is for swinging.
+
+"Let's swing on the rope!" Tim says.
+
+"OK!" Sam says.
+
+Tim goes first. He holds the rope and runs. He jumps and swings in the air. He feels happy.
+
+"Wow, you are good!" Sam says.
+
+"Your turn!" Tim says.
+
+Sam holds the rope and runs. He jumps and swings in the air. He feels happy too.
+
+But then, Sam drops the rope. He falls to the ground. He hurts his knee. He cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam says.
+
+Tim runs to Sam. He sees blood on Sam's knee. He feels sorry.
+
+"Are you OK?" Tim says.
+
+"No, it hurts!" Sam says.
+
+Tim looks around. He sees a man. The man is bald. He has a hat and a bag. He is sitting on a bench. He is reading a book.
+
+"Help!" Tim says.
+
+The man hears Tim. He looks up. He sees Tim and Sam. He puts down his book. He gets up. He walks to them.
+
+"What happened?" the man says.
+
+"Sam dropped the rope. He fell. He hurt his knee." Tim says.
+
+The man sees Sam's knee. He opens his bag. He takes out a band-aid. He puts it on Sam's knee.
+
+"There, that should help." the man says.
+
+"Thank you!" Sam says.
+
+"You're welcome!" the man says.
+
+He gives Sam a smile. He gives Tim a smile. He puts on his hat. He picks up his book. He walks back to the bench.
+
+Tim and Sam feel better. They say bye to the man. They hold hands. They walk home. They are still friends.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their cars on the floor. Lily has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They pretend to race each other around the room.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Lily says, and pushes her car forward.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says, and follows her.
+
+They zoom past the sofa, the table, the chair, and the door. Lily is faster than Ben, and she reaches the finish line first.
+
+"I win, I win!" Lily shouts, and holds up her car. "This is my victory!"
+
+Ben is sad. He wanted to win too. He watches Lily with a frown.
+
+"No fair, no fair!" he says. "You are too bossy! You always want to win!"
+
+Lily does not like Ben's words. She thinks he is a sore loser. She watches him with a glare.
+
+"So what, so what?" she says. "You are too slow! You always lose!"
+
+They start to argue and yell at each other. They forget to play nicely.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She watches Lily and Ben with a sigh.
+
+"Stop, stop!" she says. "You are both being rude! Playing is not about winning or losing. It is about having fun and sharing. Say sorry to each other and hug."
+
+Lily and Ben look at Mom. They know she is right. They watch each other with a sorry face.
+
+"Sorry, sorry," they say, and hug.
+
+Mom smiles and watches them with a happy face.
+
+"Good, good," she says. "Now, do you want to play something else?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod and smile. They watch Mom with a hopeful face.
+
+"Yes, yes," they say. "Can we play with the blocks?"
+
+Mom agrees and brings them the blocks. They watch the blocks with a curious face.
+
+They forget about the cars and the race. They start to build and create. They watch each other with a friendly face.
+
+They play nicely and have fun. They share their blocks and their ideas. They have a new victory.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books to have fun with. But they were also hungry and thirsty. They wanted some milk and cookies.
+
+"Mama, can we have some milk and cookies?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, my loves, but you have to wait a little bit. I'm making dinner in the kitchen. Be good and don't make a mess," Mama said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They waited for a while, but they were still hungry and thirsty. They saw a big bottle of milk on the table. It looked yummy.
+
+"Let's get some milk, Lily. Mama won't mind. She said we can have some," Tom said.
+
+"OK, Tom. But be careful. The bottle is heavy and the table is high," Lily said.
+
+Tom climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. He grabbed it with both hands and tried to lift it. But it was too heavy for him. He lost his balance and fell off the chair. The bottle also fell and broke on the floor. The milk spilled everywhere.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He hurt his head and his arm.
+
+"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Lily screamed. She was scared and sad.
+
+Mama heard the noise and ran to the living room. She saw the mess and the children. She was angry and worried.
+
+"What have you done? You are naughty and foolish! You could have hurt yourself badly! And you wasted the milk! How will we have milk and cookies now?" Mama shouted.
+
+She picked up Tom and checked his wounds. She cleaned the floor and the glass. She did not hug or kiss the children. She did not say sorry or it's OK. She was very mad.
+
+Tom and Lily felt bad. They wanted to say sorry and to have some milk and cookies. But they did not. They were quiet and sad. They did not play anymore. They paused and waited for dinner. They hoped Mama would love them again. But they were not sure. It was a dark day.
+Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, they decided to have a march around the yard. They put on their hats and boots and took their drums and flags.
+
+"Let's go, Tom!" Jill said. "We are the best marchers in the world!"
+
+They started to march around the yard, banging their drums and waving their flags. They sang a song they made up:
+
+We are the marchers, we are the marchers
+We march all day, we march all day
+We are the marchers, we are the marchers
+We march and play, we march and play
+
+They marched and sang and had fun. They did not see the big cloud in the sky. It was a rare cloud, a storm cloud. It was dark and angry and full of rain.
+
+The cloud saw the twins and did not like their noise. It wanted them to stop and go inside. It growled and flashed and poured down rain. It tried to scare the twins and make them wet.
+
+But Jill and Tom did not stop. They liked the rain. They laughed and splashed and marched some more. They sang a new song:
+
+We are the marchers, we are the marchers
+We march in the rain, we march in the rain
+We are the marchers, we are the marchers
+We are not afraid, we are not afraid
+
+The cloud was surprised and sad. It could not make the twins stop. It felt lonely and left out. It wished it had a friend to play with.
+
+Then it saw the swing. The swing was empty and still. It looked lonely too. The cloud had an idea. It moved over the swing and settled on it. It made the swing move and sway. It felt happy and calm.
+
+Jill and Tom saw the cloud on the swing. They stopped their march and looked at it. They saw that it was not angry anymore. It was smiling and swinging.
+
+"Look, Tom!" Jill said. "The cloud wants to play with us!"
+
+"Let's go, Jill!" Tom said. "We can be friends with the cloud!"
+
+They ran to the swing and joined the cloud. They pushed and pulled and swung together. They made the cloud laugh and sing. They had a new song:
+
+We are the marchers, we are the marchers
+We march and swing, we march and swing
+We are the marchers, we are the marchers
+We have a friend, we have a friend
+
+They played until the sun came out. The cloud had to go, but it said goodbye and thanked the twins. It promised to come back and play again. It was a rare cloud, a happy cloud. It was a friend.
+Lila and Tom were playing with their toy boats in the harbor. They liked to watch the big boats come and go, and make waves for their toy boats to ride. Sometimes they would pretend to be pirates or explorers, and have adventures on the water.
+
+One day, a big storm came and made the harbor very angry. The wind blew hard, and the rain poured down. The waves were huge and scary, and they tossed the toy boats around. Lila and Tom ran to the shore, but they could not find their toy boats. They were very sad and worried.
+
+"Where are our boats?" Lila asked, looking at the water.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said, wiping his eyes. "Maybe they sank, or maybe they floated away."
+
+"Maybe they are still out there, somewhere," Lila said, hoping. "Maybe they are having a big adventure, and they will come back to us."
+
+They hugged each other, and waited for the storm to pass.
+
+The next day, the sun came out, and the harbor was calm and quiet. Lila and Tom went back to the shore, and looked for their toy boats. They searched and searched, but they could not see them anywhere.
+
+They were about to give up, when they heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, kids, are these yours?" A man called out, holding two toy boats in his hands. He was a fisherman, and he had found the toy boats in his net.
+
+Lila and Tom ran to him, and their eyes lit up.
+
+"Yes, yes, they are ours!" They shouted, and took the toy boats from him. They were wet and dirty, but they were not broken. They were still their toy boats.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, mister!" They said, smiling.
+
+"You're welcome, kids," The man said, smiling back. "You have some brave and lucky boats. They survived the storm, and they came back to you. But be careful, they are fragile. Don't let them go too far, and mind the waves."
+
+"We will, we will," Lila and Tom said, nodding. They hugged their toy boats, and thanked the man again. Then they went back to the harbor, and played with their toy boats. They were happy, and they loved their toy boats more than ever.
+Sam and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to learn new words. Their mom wants them to learn a new language. She says it is good for them.
+
+"Come on, Sam and Lily, let's practice some words in Spanish," mom says. She holds a flashcard with a picture of a cat and the word "gato".
+
+Sam and Lily shake their heads. They do not want to say "gato". They want to say "cat". They complain to mom.
+
+"Mom, we do not like this language. It is hard and strange. We want to play with our toys and books. We know how to say 'cat' in English. Why do we need to say 'gato'?" they say.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "I know you do not like this language now. But it is fun and useful. You can talk to more people and learn more things. You can make new friends and travel to new places. Trust me, you will be glad you learned this language when you grow up. Now, can you please try to say 'gato' for me?"
+
+Sam and Lily look at each other. They do not want to make mom sad. They love mom. They decide to try to say 'gato'. They point to the picture of the cat and say, "Gato".
+
+Mom claps and cheers. She says, "Very good, Sam and Lily! You are smart and brave. I am proud of you. Now, let's learn another word. How do you say 'dog' in Spanish?"
+
+Sam and Lily think for a moment. They remember mom told them before. They say, "Perro".
+
+Mom claps and cheers again. She says, "Excellent, Sam and Lily! You are learning fast. I am happy. Do you want to learn more words?"
+
+Sam and Lily nod. They do not complain anymore. They want to learn more words. They think this language is not so hard and strange anymore. They think it is fun and interesting. They are glad they listened to mom. They say, "Yes, mom, we want to learn more words. Teach us more words in Spanish!"
+Lily and her mom went to a restaurant for lunch. Lily liked the restaurant. It had beautiful lights and pictures on the walls. She saw a big cake on a table. She wanted some cake.
+
+"Mom, can I have some cake?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not now, Lily. We have to eat our food first. Then maybe we can have some cake," Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She ate her food. It was good. She drank her juice. She was happy. She looked at the cake again. It looked yummy.
+
+"Mom, can I have some cake now?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom looked at her watch. "Oh, no. We have to go, Lily. We are late for your dentist appointment. We don't have time for cake," Mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted cake. She did not want to go to the dentist. She had an idea. She got up from her chair. She ran to the table with the cake. She grabbed a big piece of cake. She stuffed it in her mouth.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum!" Lily said.
+
+Mom saw Lily. She was angry. She ran to Lily. She grabbed her hand.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing? That's not your cake. That's someone else's cake. That's very rude and naughty. You have to say sorry and wipe your mouth," Mom said.
+
+Lily did not want to say sorry. She did not want to wipe her mouth. She liked the cake. She wanted more cake. She spat out the cake. She threw it at Mom.
+
+"Splat!" The cake hit Mom's face.
+
+Mom was shocked. She was covered in cake. She looked at Lily. Lily looked at Mom. They heard a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, that's my cake! That's my birthday cake! You ruined my birthday!" The voice belonged to a boy. He was standing next to the table. He was crying.
+
+Lily and Mom felt bad. They had made the boy cry. They had made a mess. They had to say sorry. They had to pay for the cake. They had to leave the restaurant. They had to go to the dentist.
+
+Lily and Mom had a bad day.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake, but they did not have any eggs. Tim had an idea.
+
+"Let's ask Mrs. Lee next door. She has chickens. Maybe she can lend us some eggs," he said.
+
+Lily nodded. She liked Mrs. Lee. She was very kind and always gave them cookies. They put on their shoes and ran to Mrs. Lee's house. They knocked on the door.
+
+"Hello, Tim and Lily. What can I do for you?" Mrs. Lee asked.
+
+"Can you lend us some eggs, please? We want to make a cake," Tim said.
+
+"Of course, dear. Come in, I have some fresh eggs in the cupboard," Mrs. Lee said.
+
+She led them to the kitchen. She opened the cupboard and took out a basket of eggs. She gave them four eggs and a smile.
+
+"Here you go. Be careful with them. They are very fragile," she said.
+
+"Thank you, Mrs. Lee. You are very nice," Lily said.
+
+They thanked her again and left. They ran back to their house. They were very happy. They had everything they needed to make a cake.
+
+But they did not see the big dog that was chasing them. It was very angry and hungry. It wanted to eat the eggs. It was very dangerous. It barked and growled. It ran faster and faster.
+
+Tim and Lily heard the dog. They were very scared. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Help! Help! There is a dog behind us!" Tim shouted.
+
+"Run! Run! We have to get to the house!" Lily shouted.
+
+They ran as fast as they could. They reached the door. They opened it and slammed it shut. They locked it. They were safe.
+
+They looked at the eggs. They were still whole. They were very lucky.
+
+They hugged each other. They were very brave.
+
+They went to the kitchen. They made the cake. It was very yummy. They shared it with Mrs. Lee. She was very proud of them. They were very happy.
+Ben and Mia are playing with their cars on the floor. They like to make them zoom and crash and beep. Ben has a red car and Mia has a blue car. They pretend they are racing on a big road.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Ben says. "My car is faster than yours!"
+
+"No, it's not!" Mia says. "My car is newer and better!"
+
+They zoom their cars closer and closer, until they bump into each other. The cars fall over and make a loud noise.
+
+"Oops!" Ben says. "Are you okay, Mia?"
+
+"I'm okay, Ben," Mia says. "But look at our cars. They are broken!"
+
+They pick up their cars and see that they have dents and scratches. They feel sad and sorry.
+
+"Maybe we can fix them," Ben says. "Let's ask Dad. He knows how to fix things."
+
+They run to the kitchen, where Dad is making a sandwich. They show him their cars and tell him what happened.
+
+"Oh, no!" Dad says. "Your cars are old and damaged. But don't worry, I have an idea. Come with me."
+
+He takes them to the garage, where he has a big box of toys. He opens it and shows them many different cars of all colors and sizes.
+
+"Look, Ben and Mia," he says. "These are my old cars from when I was little. You can have them and play with them. They are still good and fun."
+
+Ben and Mia are happy and excited. They thank Dad and hug him. They choose two new cars, a yellow one and a green one. They go back to the floor and start to play again.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" they say. "These cars are awesome!"
+
+They smile and laugh and zoom their cars together. They are careful not to crash and break them. They are good friends and good drivers.
+Lily and Sam were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was too windy. They looked at their toys, but they did not feel like playing with them.
+
+"Let's make a kite!" Sam said. He had an idea. He found some paper, some sticks, some string and some tape. He showed Lily how to make a kite.
+
+Lily liked the idea. She helped Sam cut the paper and tape the sticks. They made a big kite with a long tail. They drew a smiley face on it.
+
+They ran outside with their kite. They found a big field with no trees. They threw the kite in the air and held the string. The kite flew high and fast. It danced in the wind.
+
+"Wow, look at our kite!" Lily said. She was happy.
+
+"It's so fun!" Sam said. He was proud.
+
+They ran with the kite and watched it fly. They laughed and shouted. They felt the wind on their faces.
+
+But then, the wind got stronger. It pulled the kite harder. The kite spun and twisted. It made Lily and Sam dizzy.
+
+"Uh-oh, the kite is going crazy!" Sam said. He tried to hold the string, but it was too hard.
+
+"Let go, Sam, let go!" Lily said. She was scared.
+
+Sam decided to let go. He dropped the string. The kite flew away. It disappeared in the sky.
+
+Lily and Sam were sad. They lost their kite. They sat on the grass and sighed.
+
+"Maybe we can make another kite someday," Lily said. She tried to cheer up Sam.
+
+"Maybe," Sam said. He nodded. He hugged Lily.
+
+They looked at the clouds. They saw different shapes. They saw a dog, a flower, a star and a kite.
+
+They smiled. They still had each other. They were not bored anymore.
+Lily loved her toy squirrel. She named him Nutty and took him everywhere. She hugged him, fed him, and played with him. Nutty was her loyal friend.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought Nutty with her. She saw some other kids playing with a big ball. She wanted to join them. She left Nutty on a bench and ran to the ball.
+
+But when she came back, Nutty was gone. She looked around and saw a boy holding him. He was walking away with his dad.
+
+"Hey, that's my squirrel!" Lily shouted. She ran after the boy.
+
+"Sorry, kid, he's mine now. I just bought him from a man who was selling toys," the boy said.
+
+"That's not true! He's not a toy, he's my friend! Give him back!" Lily cried.
+
+The boy's dad looked at Lily and then at the man who sold Nutty. He saw that the man was sneaky and mean. He realized that he had cheated them.
+
+"Son, I think we made a mistake. This squirrel belongs to the girl. We should give it back to her," he said.
+
+The boy was sad, but he knew it was the right thing to do. He handed Nutty to Lily.
+
+"Here, I'm sorry. I didn't know he was yours," he said.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Nutty. She thanked the boy and his dad. She was happy to have her loyal friend back. She learned to never leave him alone again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the church with their moms. The church is big and has a tall tower. Anna and Ben think the church is unique.
+
+"Look, Ben, there are many windows in the church. They have colors and shapes. They are pretty," Anna says.
+
+"Yes, Anna, they are pretty. They are called stained glass. They make the light shine in the church. They tell stories about God and Jesus," Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben go inside the church. They see a man in a long robe. He is the pastor. He smiles at them and says hello. He says he is happy to see them. He says the church is a place where people can pray, sing, and learn about God. He says God loves them and provides for them.
+
+"What does provide mean?" Anna asks.
+
+"Provide means to give or to help. God gives us many things, like food, water, clothes, and friends. God helps us when we are sad, scared, or sick. God wants us to be happy and good," Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They think God is nice. They want to learn more about God. They thank the pastor and go to sit with their moms. They listen to the pastor talk and sing songs with the other people. They feel happy and safe in the church. They think the church is a unique place.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to study animals and plants. They have a big book with many pictures and words. They learn new things every day.
+
+One morning, they wake up very early. They want to see the sunrise. They put on their warm clothes and go outside. They walk to the hill near their house. They see the sky change color. It is very beautiful.
+
+"Look, Lily, the sun is coming up!" Tom says. He points to the bright ball of light.
+
+"I see it, Tom. It is very big and yellow," Lily says. She smiles.
+
+They sit on the grass and watch the sun. They see birds fly and sing. They see flowers open and bees buzz. They see a thick cloud move across the sky. They see a rainbow appear.
+
+"Wow, the cloud is like a blanket. And the rainbow is like a bridge," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, they are. Do you know why they are like that?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, I don't. Do you?" Tom says.
+
+"No, I don't. But we can study them later. We can look in our book and find out," Lily says.
+
+"OK, let's do that. But first, let's enjoy the sunrise. It is very pretty," Tom says.
+
+They nod and hug. They are happy. They love to study and learn. They love to see the sunrise.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Let's go up and down the slide!" Sam says.
+
+"Okay!" Mia says.
+
+They take turns to climb the ladder and slide down. They have fun. But then, a big boy comes. He has a mean face and a loud voice. He pushes Sam and Mia away from the slide.
+
+"This is my slide! Go away!" he says.
+
+Sam and Mia are scared and sad. They want to play with the slide, but the big boy is mean. They look at their moms, but their moms are busy talking. They don't see the big boy.
+
+"Please, let us play with the slide. We were here first," Mia says.
+
+"No! This is my slide! You are too small and silly. Go play with your baby toys!" the big boy says.
+
+He kicks Sam's car and Mia's doll. They fall on the ground and break. Sam and Mia cry. They love their toys. They are not baby toys. They are their favorite toys.
+
+The big boy laughs. He thinks he is lucky. He has the slide and he has no one to share with. He climbs the ladder and slides down. But he slides too fast and too hard. He loses his balance and falls off the slide. He hits his head on a rock. He cries. He is hurt and alone.
+
+Sam and Mia stop crying. They see the big boy. They are not happy. They are not sad. They are angry. They pick up their broken toys and walk away. They don't help the big boy. They don't care about him. They go to their moms and tell them what happened. Their moms hug them and say they are sorry. They say they will buy them new toys. They say they are proud of them for being brave and kind.
+
+Sam and Mia smile. They are still friends. They are still lucky. They don't need the slide. They have each other.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toy trucks in the yard. They have a lot of sand, rocks and sticks to load on their trucks. They like to make zigzags with their trucks on the ground.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a huge load of sand on my truck!" Tom says, showing his truck to his sister.
+
+"That's nice, Tom, but I have a huge load of rocks on my truck!" Lily says, showing her truck to her brother.
+
+They both smile and drive their trucks to the other side of the yard, where they have a big pile of sticks. They want to make a fort with the sticks.
+
+"Let's unload our trucks and build a fort, Lily!" Tom says, dumping his sand on the ground.
+
+"OK, Tom, let's do that!" Lily says, dumping her rocks on the ground.
+
+They work together to make a fort with the sticks. They use some of the sand and rocks to make the walls stronger. They make a door and a window. They are very proud of their fort.
+
+"Wow, Lily, we made a great fort!" Tom says, looking at their fort.
+
+"Yes, Tom, we did! It's the best fort ever!" Lily says, looking at their fort.
+
+They go inside their fort and pretend to be explorers. They have a lot of fun. They love playing with their toy trucks and making zigzags and forts.
+Once upon a time, there was an old man. He had a thick beard and big smile. He lived in a little house with his dog. One day, a little girl came to visit him. She brought a toy to play with.
+
+The old man was happy to see her. He asked her if she wanted to share her toy with him. The little girl said yes and they played together. They laughed and had fun.
+
+After a while, it was time for the little girl to go home. The old man thanked her for sharing her toy with him. He gave her a big hug and said goodbye. The little girl was happy to have made a new friend.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She was going to the mall with her mommy. They went inside the elevator to go up to the toy store. Lily was nervous because she had never been in an elevator before. 
+

He remembered what his mom taught him and he tied his shoes all by himself. Timmy was so proud of himself and his friends cheered for him. From that day on, Timmy knew how to tie his shoes and he felt like a big kid. The end.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to wear his favorite red shirt every day. One day, Timmy's mom took him to a Halloween party. Timmy saw a man dressed up like a skeleton and he got scared.
+
+"Mommy, I don't want to be here anymore. That skeleton is scary," Timmy said.
+
+"It's okay, Timmy. He's not real. He's just wearing a costume," his mom replied.
+
+Timmy felt better knowing that the skeleton was just a costume. He was obedient and stayed with his mom for the rest of the party. Timmy even got to wear a superhero costume and had lots of fun playing with the other kids. From that day on, Timmy wasn't scared of skeletons anymore.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and eat candy. One day, her mom gave her a big bag of candy. Lily was so happy and ate all the candy in one day. 
+
+The next day was Wednesday, and Lily didn't feel good. She had a tummy ache and felt sick. Her mom asked her what happened, and Lily told her about the candy. Her mom explained that eating too much candy wasn't fair to her body and that she needed to test how much candy she could eat at once.
+
+Lily learned that it's important to be fair to her body and not eat too much candy. From that day on, she only ate a little bit of candy at a time and tested how much her tummy could handle. She was happy and healthy, and her mom was proud of her for learning a valuable lesson.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play outside 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.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Mr. Snowman did not say anything. He just smiled with his carrot nose.
+
+Ben had an idea. He ran to the kitchen and got a big spoon. He came back to the snowman and said, "Look, Lily, I have a spoon. We can stir the snow and make it soft."
+
+Lily thought that was a fun game. She got another spoon and joined Ben. They started to stir the snow around the snowman. They made little hills and valleys with the snow.
+
+"Wow, this is so cool!" Ben said. "We can make a snow castle for Mr. Snowman."
+
+Lily agreed. She said, "Yes, let's make a snow castle. Mr. Snowman can be the king."
+
+They worked hard to make a snow castle. They used their spoons to make walls and towers. They used their hands to make windows and doors. They used their hats to make flags.
+
+They were very proud of their snow castle. They showed it to Mr. Snowman.
+
+"Look, Mr. Snowman, this is your castle!" Lily said. "You can live here and be happy."
+
+Mr. Snowman did not say anything. He just smiled with his carrot nose.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled too. They hugged Mr. Snowman and said, "We love you, Mr. Snowman. You are our friend."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a new toy in the closet. It was a laser. It was a stick that made a red light when you pushed a button.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It is a laser. It is so cool!"
+
+"Can I try it?" Lily asked. "It looks fun!"
+
+"Sure, here you go," Tom said. He gave the laser to Lily. She pushed the button and pointed the laser at the wall. The red light made a dot on the wall.
+
+"Wow, it is like magic!" Lily said. "Let's make a game with it!"
+
+"OK, what game?" Tom asked.
+
+"Let's pretend we are spies and we have to avoid the laser," Lily said. "If the laser touches you, you lose!"
+
+"OK, that sounds fun!" Tom said. They moved the furniture and made a path in the room. They took turns holding the laser and trying to catch each other with the light.
+
+They had a lot of fun with the laser. They laughed and ran and dodged the light. They felt like they were in a movie.
+
+But then, Mom came in the room. She saw the mess and the laser. She was confused.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you playing with a laser? That is not a toy. That is dangerous. You could hurt your eyes or break something. Give me that laser right now!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know the laser was dangerous. They thought it was a toy. They gave the laser to Mom. They felt sad.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Tom said. "We did not know. We were just playing."
+
+"We were pretending to be spies," Lily said. "We were having fun."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry, but she was worried. She hugged Tom and Lily.
+
+"I know you were having fun, but you have to be careful," Mom said. "Some things are not toys. They are for grown-ups only. You have to ask me before you play with something new. OK?"
+
+"OK, Mom," Tom and Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad they were OK. She had an idea.
+
+"Hey, do you want to celebrate?" Mom asked. "You were very brave spies. How about we have some ice cream and watch a movie?"
+
+"Yay, ice cream and movie!" Tom and Lily said. They forgot about the laser. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They were happy. They celebrated.
+Tom was restless. He did not want to nap. He wanted to play with his toys and run around the house. But Mom said he had to nap. She said it was good for him. She said he would feel better after napping.
+
+Tom did not like napping. He tried to stay awake. He looked at his teddy bear. He looked at his books. He looked at the window. He saw a bird. He saw a cloud. He saw a peach tree. He liked peaches. They were sweet and juicy. He wanted a peach.
+
+He got out of his bed. He put on his shoes. He opened the door. He ran to the peach tree. He reached for a peach. It was too high. He jumped. He still could not get it. He saw a stool. He dragged the stool to the tree. He climbed on the stool. He grabbed a peach. He smiled.
+
+Mom saw Tom. She was not happy. She ran to the peach tree. She took the peach from Tom. She said, "Tom, what are you doing? You are supposed to nap. You are not supposed to take peaches without asking. That is not nice. You have to say please."
+
+Tom felt bad. He did not want to make Mom sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was restless. I wanted a peach. They are yummy. Can I have a peach, please?"
+
+Mom hugged Tom. She said, "I love you, Tom. I know you like peaches. But you have to nap first. Then you can have a peach. And you have to say please when you want something. That is polite. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I understand, Mom. I love you too. Can I nap with you?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Of course, Tom. Come on. Let's go to the bed. We can nap together. And then we can share a peach."
+
+Tom and Mom went to the bed. They snuggled. They closed their eyes. They napped. They dreamed of peaches.
+Lily loved to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir the soup, cut the bread and set the table. She also liked to make presents for her friends and family. She would draw pictures, make cards and find things to give them.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to make a present for her dad. He worked very hard to provide for them and make them happy. Lily thought he deserved something nice. She looked around the house and saw a shiny watch on his dresser. She knew it was expensive and that he liked it a lot. She decided to wrap it with some paper and a ribbon and surprise him.
+
+She took the watch and went to her room. She found some paper and a ribbon in her craft box. She wrapped the watch carefully and tied the ribbon in a bow. She wrote "To Dad, from Lily" on the paper. She was very proud of her present. She hid it under her bed and waited for her dad to come home.
+
+When her dad came home, he hugged Lily and her mom. He said he was hungry and tired. He smelled the soup and said it smelled good. He thanked Lily for helping her mom. Lily smiled and said she had a surprise for him. She ran to her room and brought the present. She gave it to him and said "Happy day, Dad! I love you!"
+
+Her dad opened the present and saw the watch. He was very surprised and confused. He asked Lily where she got it. Lily said she found it on his dresser and wrapped it for him. She said she wanted to give him something nice because he worked hard and provided for them. She said she loved him very much.
+
+Her dad hugged Lily and thanked her for her sweet thought. He explained to her that the watch was his and that it was expensive. He said he appreciated her gesture, but that she should not take things that were not hers. He said he would rather have a picture or a card from her than anything else. He said he loved her very much too.
+
+Lily felt sorry and embarrassed. She did not know she did something wrong. She said she was sorry and that she did not mean to make him sad. She said she just wanted to make him happy. He said he was not sad, just surprised. He said he was happy that she loved him and wanted to give him a present. He said he forgave her and that they could make a picture or a card together. He said they could also share the watch and wear it sometimes.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her dad. She said she was happy too. She said she learned a lesson and that she would not take things that were not hers again. She said she would make him a picture or a card next time. She said she loved him very much and that he was the best dad ever. He said he loved her very much too and that she was the best daughter ever. They went to the kitchen and had soup and bread with mom. They were a happy family.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big cooler near the picnic table. It was shiny and had buttons and lights. It looked very modern and cool.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, but I want to see what's inside," Max said. He ran to the cooler and tried to open it.
+
+"Wait, Max, we shouldn't touch it. It's not ours," Lily said. She followed him and tried to stop him.
+
+"But I'm curious, Lily. Maybe there's something yummy or fun inside," Max said. He pushed the buttons and pulled the handle. He insisted on opening the cooler.
+
+Suddenly, the cooler made a loud noise and sprayed water all over Max. He screamed and jumped back. Lily laughed and helped him dry off.
+
+"See, Max, you shouldn't touch things that don't belong to you. You could get hurt or make a mess," Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I was silly and rude," Max said. He hugged his sister and apologized.
+
+They learned their lesson and played with their own toys instead. They had fun and respected other people's things.
+Lila liked to polish her toys. She had a blue car, a blue ball, and a blue doll. She used a cloth and some water to make them shine. She was proud of her toys and wanted to show them to her friends.
+
+One day, she took her toys to the park. She saw some other children playing with different toys. She wanted to play with them, but they did not want to share. They said her toys were old and boring. Lila felt sad and angry. She said her toys were better and prettier than theirs. She did not want to be friends with them.
+
+She ran back to her home with her toys. She hugged her mom and told her what happened. Her mom listened and gave her a kiss. She said, "Lila, I know you love your toys, but they are not the most important thing. The most important thing is to be kind and share with others. You can make new friends if you are nice and polite. Maybe you can try again tomorrow and offer to let them play with your toys. You might find out that they have something in common with you."
+
+Lila thought about what her mom said. She realized that she was wrong to be rude and selfish. She decided to try again the next day. She went to the park with her toys and a smile. She saw the same children and said hello. She asked them if they wanted to play with her toys. They were surprised and curious. They agreed to play with her toys and let her play with theirs. They had fun and learned new things. Lila made new friends and was happy. She thanked her mom for her advice and said, "Mom, you were right. Sharing is caring. And polishing is not everything."
+Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They liked to set their toys on the grass and make pretend stories.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was black and brown and had a loud bark. The dog ran to Tom and Sue and wanted to play. But Tom and Sue were scared. They did not like the big dog. They ran away from the dog and left their toys on the grass.
+
+The dog saw the toys and thought they were his. He picked up the toys with his teeth and shook them. He tore them and bit them and made them dirty. He did not care that they were not his. He did not care that he was hurting them.
+
+Tom and Sue hid behind a tree and watched the dog. They were sad and angry. They wanted their toys back. They wanted the dog to go away. But they did not know how to make him stop. They did not know how to get their toys back. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+The dog played with the toys until he was bored. Then he left them on the grass and ran away. Tom and Sue came out from behind the tree and saw their toys. They were broken and ripped and stained. They were not lovely anymore. They were ruined. Tom and Sue could not play with them anymore. They could not make pretend stories anymore. They had nothing to do. They had no fun. They had a bad day.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big skull. It is white and hard. It has teeth and holes.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sara says. "It is a skull. Maybe it was a dinosaur."
+
+"Or a pirate," Ben says. "Maybe it has treasure inside."
+
+They take the skull to their fort. They put it on a stick. They pretend it is their guard.
+
+Sara and Ben have fun with the skull. They talk to it and make jokes. They give it a name. They call it Bob.
+
+"Sara, do you like Bob?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, I do. He is funny and good," Sara says.
+
+"Me too. Do you want to marry Bob?" Ben asks.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She likes Ben. He is her best friend. She smiles.
+
+"OK, let's marry Bob. But we have to share him," she says.
+
+"OK, deal. We can be a family," Ben says.
+
+They hug each other and the skull. They are happy. They are married to Bob.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Max. But they do not like to bathe. They think it is boring and cold.
+
+One day, their mom says, "It is time to bathe, Sara and Tom. You are very dirty and smelly. Come on, let's go to the bathroom."
+
+Sara and Tom make a face. They say, "No, mom, we do not want to bathe. We want to play more. Please, mom, please."
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, Sara and Tom, you have to bathe. It is good for you. It makes you clean and healthy. And it can be fun, too. Look, I have some bubbles and toys for you. You can make shapes and sounds with them. And you can sing and splash, too."
+
+Sara and Tom look at the bubbles and toys. They wonder what they can do with them. They wonder if bathing can be fun. They decide to give it a try.
+
+They follow mom to the bathroom. They take off their clothes and get into the tub. Mom pours some bubbles and water on them. They giggle and squeal. They feel the bubbles tickle their skin. They see the bubbles make colors and shapes. They grab some toys and make them float and sink. They make noises and stories with them. They sing and splash with mom and Max.
+
+They have so much fun that they forget they are bathing. They do not feel bored or cold. They feel happy and warm.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "See, Sara and Tom, bathing is not so bad. It is normal and fun. You are good kids. I am proud of you."
+
+Sara and Tom smile and hug mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. And we love bathing, too."
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play and sing. One day, they went to the big park where there was a stage. The stage was green and had a microphone and speakers. Lily and Ben wanted to sing on the stage.
+
+They climbed up the steps and took turns holding the microphone. Lily sang a song about a butterfly. Ben sang a song about a dinosaur. They had fun and laughed.
+
+But then, a boy named Max came to the stage. He was bigger and older than Lily and Ben. He said, "You two are silly. You can't sing. You sound like frogs. Ribbit, ribbit!" He took the microphone from Ben and teased them. He made fun of their songs and their clothes and their hair.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They told Max to stop and go away. But Max did not listen. He kept teasing them and laughing. He said, "You are too small and dumb to be on the stage. This is my stage. Go play somewhere else."
+
+Lily and Ben tried to get the microphone back, but Max pushed them away. He was too strong and mean. He made them fall off the stage and hurt themselves. He said, "Ha, ha, ha. That's what you get for being stupid."
+
+Lily and Ben cried and ran away. They did not want to play or sing anymore. They wished they had never met Max. They wished he would be sorry for what he did. But he was not. He stayed on the stage and sang his own songs. He thought he was the best. He did not care about anyone else. He was a bad boy.
+Ben likes to listen to the sounds outside his window. He hears cars, birds, dogs and sometimes a helicopter. A helicopter is a big thing that flies in the sky with a spinning thing on top. Ben thinks helicopters are cool and he wants to see one up close.
+
+One day, Ben and his mom go to the park. They play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Ben has fun and makes new friends. Then he hears a loud noise. He looks up and sees a helicopter. It is red and white and it has a cross on the side. Ben runs to his mom and points at the helicopter.
+
+"Mom, look! A helicopter! Can we go see it?" Ben asks.
+
+His mom smiles and nods. She takes his hand and they walk to the field where the helicopter is landing. Ben sees some people in uniforms. They are helping a man on a stretcher. The man looks hurt and sad.
+
+"Mom, what are they doing?" Ben asks.
+
+His mom explains that the helicopter is an ambulance. It helps people who are sick or hurt and takes them to the hospital. The people in uniforms are doctors and nurses. They are honest and kind and they try to make the man feel better.
+
+Ben feels sorry for the man. He hopes he will be okay. He also feels curious about the helicopter. He wants to know how it works and where it goes. He sees a pilot in the cockpit. The pilot has a helmet and a headset. He looks friendly and busy.
+
+"Mom, can I talk to the pilot?" Ben asks.
+
+His mom says they can try. She leads Ben to the pilot and asks him if he has a minute. The pilot smiles and says yes. He invites Ben and his mom to come closer and look inside the helicopter. He tells Ben his name is Dave and he is the pilot. He shows Ben the controls, the instruments and the radio. He explains how he flies the helicopter and how he talks to other people.
+
+Ben listens carefully and asks many questions. He learns a lot of new things. He thanks Dave for his time and for his job. He tells Dave he thinks he is brave and smart and cool. Dave thanks Ben for his interest and his compliment. He gives Ben a sticker with a helicopter on it. He tells Ben he can keep it as a souvenir.
+
+Ben is very happy. He puts the sticker on his shirt and shows it to his mom. He tells her he loves helicopters and he wants to be a pilot when he grows up. His mom hugs him and tells him he can be anything he wants if he works hard and stays honest. She tells him she is proud of him and she loves him. Ben smiles and says he loves her too. They wave goodbye to Dave and the helicopter and go back to the park. Ben has a great day. He never forgets his first helicopter ride.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog is wearing old pants on its legs. Lily and Tom think the pants are funny.
+
+"Hi, dog! Why do you wear pants?" Lily asks. She runs to the dog and tries to touch its pants.
+
+The dog barks and runs away. It does not like Lily and Tom. It wants to be alone.
+
+"Come back, dog! We want to play with you!" Tom shouts. He follows the dog across the park.
+
+Lily follows Tom. She does not want to lose him. She is scared of the big park.
+
+The dog runs to a bench where an old man is sitting. The old man is the dog's owner. He sees Lily and Tom chasing his dog.
+
+"Stop, kids! Leave my dog alone!" the old man says. He is angry. He takes off the pants from his dog's legs. The pants are not pants. They are bandages. The dog has a hurt leg.
+
+"Sorry, mister. We did not know your dog has a hurt leg. We thought the pants were funny," Lily says. She feels sorry for the dog.
+
+The old man sighs. He is not angry anymore. He sees that Lily and Tom are just curious.
+
+"It's okay, kids. My dog is old and sick. The bandages help his leg feel better. His name is Max. Do you want to pet him?" the old man says. He smiles.
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They walk slowly to the bench. They pet Max gently. Max wags his tail. He likes Lily and Tom.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They make a new friend. They forget about the pants.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big basket of grapes on a bench. They are hungry and curious.
+
+"Who left these grapes here?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot them," Ben says.
+
+"Can we have some?" Anna says.
+
+Ben looks around. He does not see anyone. He is nosy and wants to try the grapes. He picks one and puts it in his mouth. It is sweet and juicy.
+
+"Mmm, these are good. Do you want one?" Ben says.
+
+Anna nods. She reaches for a grape. But before she can take it, a loud voice makes them jump.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my grapes?" the voice says.
+
+Anna and Ben turn around. They see a man with a big hat and a beard. He looks angry. He is holding a bag and a book. He is the owner of the grapes.
+
+"Sorry, sir. We thought they were for everyone," Anna says.
+
+"No, they are not. They are mine. I bought them at the market. I was going to read my book and eat them. But you nosy kids took them without asking," the man says.
+
+He walks to the bench and grabs the basket. He glares at Anna and Ben.
+
+"Go away. And don't touch other people's things," he says.
+
+Anna and Ben feel scared and sorry. They run away from the bench. They look for a new place to play.
+
+"Are you okay?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. But I feel bad. We should not have taken the grapes," Anna says.
+
+"Me too. We should have asked first. Or found our own snack," Ben says.
+
+They find a swing and sit on it. They swing back and forth. They try to forget the angry man and the grapes.
+
+Then they see a lady with a dog. The dog is small and fluffy. It has a pink bow on its head. It runs to Anna and Ben. It wags its tail and licks their faces. It is friendly and cute.
+
+"Hello, what's your name?" the lady asks.
+
+"I'm Anna and this is Ben. We are friends," Anna says.
+
+"Nice to meet you. I'm Lisa and this is Daisy. She is my dog. She likes to play with kids," Lisa says.
+
+She smiles at Anna and Ben. She takes a cookie from her pocket. She breaks it in half and gives one piece to each of them.
+
+"Here, have a cookie. It's a treat for being nice to Daisy," Lisa says.
+
+"Thank you, Lisa. That's very kind of you," Ben says.
+
+"Thank you, Lisa. The cookie is yummy," Anna says.
+
+They eat the cookie and pet Daisy. They feel happy and warm. They forget the angry man and the grapes.
+
+They smile at Lisa and Daisy. They smile at each other. They make a new friend.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun.
+
+But after a while, they feel tired. They sit on a bench and drink some water. They look at the sky. The sky is blue and bright. They see some birds and clouds.
+
+"Look, Tom, a bird!" Lila says. She points at a bird. The bird is red and yellow. It is brilliant.
+
+"Wow, Lila, it is brilliant!" Tom says. He speaks loud. He wants the bird to hear him. "Hello, bird! What is your name?"
+
+The bird hears Tom. It looks at him. It flies closer. It speaks to Tom and Lila.
+
+"Hello, children! My name is Ruby. I am a parrot. I can speak like you. Do you want to be my friends?"
+
+Lila and Tom are surprised. They smile. They speak to Ruby.
+
+"Yes, Ruby, we want to be your friends!" they say. "You are a brilliant bird. Can you teach us some words?"
+
+Ruby is happy. He nods. He teaches Lila and Tom some words. He teaches them how to say hello, goodbye, thank you and sorry in different languages. He teaches them how to sing a song. He teaches them how to make funny noises.
+
+Lila and Tom learn a lot. They laugh. They have fun. They are not tired anymore. They are happy. They have a new friend. Ruby is a brilliant bird.
+Tom was a spider who liked to perform. He wanted to show everyone his beautiful cobwebs. He worked hard every day to make them shiny and strong. He spun them in different shapes and colors. He was very proud of his cobwebs.
+
+One day, he saw a big stage in the park. There were many people and animals there. They were watching a show. Tom wanted to join them. He thought his cobwebs were important and special. He wanted to share them with everyone. He crawled to the stage and looked for a place to perform.
+
+He found a big tree near the stage. He climbed up and started to spin a cobweb. He made it very big and bright. He used red and yellow and blue threads. He hoped everyone would see it and like it. He was very happy and excited.
+
+But he did not notice that the show was about to end. The people and animals were getting ready to leave. They did not see Tom's cobweb. They did not know he was there. They walked past the tree and did not look up. Tom felt sad and lonely. He wondered why no one noticed his cobweb.
+
+Then he heard a voice. It was a bird who was sitting on a branch. The bird saw Tom's cobweb and was amazed. He said, "Wow, what a beautiful cobweb! You are very talented, spider. You have made a wonderful art. I have never seen anything like it. You should be proud of yourself. You have performed very well."
+
+Tom felt happy again. He smiled and thanked the bird. He realized that his cobweb was important and special, even if no one else saw it. He was glad that he had a friend who appreciated his work. He decided to keep performing and making more cobwebs. He hoped to make more friends and share his joy. He was a happy spider.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they wake up early and ask Mom to take them to the park. Mom says yes, but they have to eat breakfast first.
+
+They eat some toast and milk and put on their coats and shoes. Mom takes them to the car and drives to the park. They are very happy and excited. They see the swings, the slide, the sandbox and the merry-go-round. They run to the swings and take turns pushing each other.
+
+"Higher, higher!" Lily shouts.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says.
+
+They laugh and have fun. Then they go to the slide and slide down fast. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They go to the sandbox and make a big castle with a moat and a flag. They go to the merry-go-round and spin around and around. They feel dizzy and silly.
+
+They are having a great time at the park. But then, something terrible happens. A big dog comes running towards them. It barks loudly and shows its teeth. It looks angry and scary. Lily and Ben are afraid. They scream and cry.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily says.
+
+"Mom, mom!" Ben says.
+
+Mom hears them and runs to them. She picks them up and hugs them. She tells the dog to go away. The dog runs away. Mom tells Lily and Ben that they are safe and that she loves them. She kisses their cheeks and wipes their tears.
+
+"It's okay, it's okay," Mom says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Lily says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Ben says.
+
+They are still scared, but they feel better. Mom asks them if they want to go home or stay at the park. They say they want to go home. They are tired and hungry. Mom takes them to the car and drives them home. They eat some soup and crackers and drink some juice. They cuddle with Mom on the couch and watch a funny show. They forget about the terrible dog. They smile and laugh. They are happy again.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play on the shore. The shore is where the water and the sand meet. They find shells and rocks and make shapes with them.
+
+One day, they see a large boat on the water. It is very big and has a flag. They wonder who is on the boat and what they are doing.
+
+"Maybe they are pirates," Tom says. "Maybe they have treasure and swords."
+
+"Or maybe they are fishermen," Sue says. "Maybe they have fish and nets."
+
+They decide to wave at the boat and see if anyone waves back. They jump and shout and wave their arms.
+
+A man on the boat sees them and waves back. He has a hat and a beard. He smiles and shouts something. Tom and Sue cannot hear him well, but they think he says, "Hello, kids! Do you want to see what I cook?"
+
+Tom and Sue are curious. They want to see what the man cooks. They nod and say, "Yes, please!"
+
+The man throws a rope to the shore and tells them to hold it. He pulls them closer to the boat. He helps them climb on board. He shows them his kitchen. He has a stove and a pot and a spoon. He has some fish and some vegetables and some spices. He says, "I cook fish stew. It is very yummy. Do you want to try some?"
+
+Tom and Sue are hungry. They say, "Yes, please!"
+
+The man gives them each a bowl and a spoon. He ladles some stew into their bowls. He says, "Be careful, it is hot. Blow on it first."
+
+Tom and Sue blow on their stew. They taste it. It is very yummy. They say, "Thank you, mister. This is very good."
+
+The man says, "You are welcome, kids. I am glad you like it. My name is Sam. I am a sailor. I travel on the water and see many things. Do you want to hear some stories?"
+
+Tom and Sue say, "Yes, please!"
+
+Sam tells them stories about the water and the animals and the places he has seen. He makes them laugh and wonder. They have a lot of fun.
+
+They forget about the time. They do not see that the sun is going down. They do not hear their moms calling them.
+
+Their moms are worried. They look for them on the shore. They see the boat and the rope. They see Tom and Sue on the boat. They shout, "Tom! Sue! Come back here! It is time to go home!"
+
+Tom and Sue hear their moms. They say, "Oh, no! We have to go!"
+
+They say goodbye to Sam. They thank him for the stew and the stories. They say, "You are very nice. We hope to see you again."
+
+Sam says, "You are very nice, too. I hope to see you again, too. Have a good night, kids."
+
+He helps them down the rope. He waves at their moms. He says, "Sorry, ladies. I did not mean to keep them so long. They are good kids."
+
+Their moms are not angry. They are happy to see them safe. They say, "It is okay, Sam. Thank you for taking care of them. They are good kids, but they are also curious kids. They like to explore and learn new things."
+
+They hug Tom and Sue. They say, "We are glad you had fun, but you have to be careful. You have to tell us where you go and when you come back. You have to listen to us when we call you. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Sue understand. They say, "Yes, mom. We are sorry, mom. We love you, mom."
+
+They go home with their moms. They tell them about Sam and the boat and the stew and the stories. They say, "It was a very good day."
+
+Their moms say, "It was a very good day. But now it is time for bed. You have to sleep and dream and rest. Tomorrow is another day."
+
+They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They hug their moms and say, "Good night, mom. We love you, mom."
+
+Their moms say, "Good night, kids. We love you, too."
+
+They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of the water and the boat and the stew and the stories. They smile in their sleep.
+Tommy likes to play with his furry toy bear. He calls him Buddy and hugs him every night. But Tommy has a problem. He does not know how to read and write. His mom says he needs a tutor to help him learn.
+
+One day, a lady comes to Tommy's house. She is the tutor. She has a big bag of books and papers. She smiles at Tommy and says, "Hello, I'm Miss Lee. I'm here to teach you how to read and write. Do you want to join me?"
+
+Tommy does not want to join her. He wants to play with Buddy. He says, "No, thank you. I don't like books and papers. I like Buddy. He is my friend."
+
+Miss Lee says, "I understand. Buddy is very cute and soft. But books and papers can be fun too. They have stories and pictures and letters. You can learn new things and make new friends. Why don't you bring Buddy with you and we can all join together?"
+
+Tommy thinks for a moment. He likes to learn new things and make new friends. Maybe books and papers are not so bad. Maybe Miss Lee is nice. He says, "Okay, I will try. But Buddy has to come too."
+
+Miss Lee says, "Of course. Buddy can join us too. He can sit on your lap and listen to the stories. Come on, let's go to the table and start our lesson."
+
+Tommy takes Buddy and follows Miss Lee to the table. He feels a little nervous, but also a little curious. He hopes he will like the books and papers. He hopes he will learn how to read and write. He hopes he will make Miss Lee happy. He hugs Buddy and says, "Don't worry, Buddy. We can do this. We can join the tutor and have fun."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big truck. Mia has a small doll. One day, they go to the park with their moms.
+
+"Look at my truck!" Tom says. "It can make loud noises and move fast."
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Mia says. "Can I try it?"
+
+"Sure, you can share it with me," Tom says. He gives Mia the truck. Mia smiles and plays with it.
+
+"Look at my doll!" Mia says. "She has long hair and a pretty dress. She can talk to me. Listen to her ear."
+
+"Wow, that's amazing!" Tom says. "Can I try it?"
+
+"Sure, you can share it with me," Mia says. She gives Tom the doll. Tom holds it and listens to its ear.
+
+But then, a boy comes. He is bigger than Tom and Mia. He sees their toys and wants them.
+
+"Give me that truck and that doll!" he says. "They are mine now!"
+
+He grabs the truck from Mia and the doll from Tom. He runs away with them.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Tom and Mia shout. "Those are our toys! Give them back!"
+
+They are sad and angry. They want their toys back. The boy is mean and envious. He does not know how to share.
+
+Their moms see what happens. They run after the boy. They catch him and make him give back the toys.
+
+"Sorry, sorry," the boy says. "I was wrong. I should not take your toys."
+
+Tom and Mia get their toys back. They hug their moms and thank them.
+
+"Are you okay?" their moms ask.
+
+"Yes, we are okay," Tom and Mia say. "We are still friends. We like to share."
+
+They smile and play with their toys again. They are happy. They are not envious. They know how to share.
+Lily and Ben were very happy. Today was their birthday. They were twins. They had a big cake with candles and lots of presents. They also had balloons and hats and music.
+
+"Can we dance now?" Lily asked Mom. "I want to dance with Ben and my friends."
+
+"Yes, you can dance, but first you have to blow out the candles and make a wish," Mom said. "That is very important. It is a birthday tradition."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They held hands and walked to the cake. They counted to three and blew out the candles together. They closed their eyes and made a wish. They hoped it would come true.
+
+"Yay! Happy birthday, Lily and Ben!" their friends cheered. They clapped and hugged the twins.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Ben said. They smiled and cut the cake. They gave everyone a slice. The cake was yummy. It had chocolate and cream and strawberries. It was their favorite dessert.
+
+"Can we dance now?" Ben asked Mom. "I want to dance with Lily and my friends."
+
+"Yes, you can dance now," Mom said. "The music is on. Have fun, my sweeties."
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the dance floor. They joined their friends. They danced and jumped and spun and laughed. They had so much fun. They felt very happy. They loved their birthday. They loved their cake. They loved their mom. They loved each other.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they found a big fan in the garage. It was old and dusty, but it made a nice sound when they turned it on.
+
+"Let's pretend it's a wind machine," Lily said. "We can be movie stars and fly in the air."
+
+"OK," Sam said. "But you have to promise to share. It's my fan, I found it first."
+
+"I promise," Lily said. She took a scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She stood in front of the fan and felt the wind blow her hair. She smiled and waved at Sam. "Look at me, I'm so pretty and famous."
+
+Sam waited for his turn. He wanted to feel the wind too. He had a hat and a cape that he wanted to wear. But Lily did not move. She kept standing in front of the fan and pretending to be a star.
+
+"Hey, Lily, it's my turn now," Sam said. "You promised to share."
+
+"Just one more minute," Lily said. "I'm having fun."
+
+Sam got angry. He pushed Lily away from the fan. Lily fell down and hurt her knee. She started to cry. Sam felt bad. He saw that Lily's knee was bleeding and her face was pale.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Sam said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you OK?"
+
+Lily looked at Sam. She was still crying, but she nodded. She held out her hand to Sam. Sam took it and helped her up.
+
+"I'm sorry too, Sam," Lily said. "I was selfish. I should have shared the fan with you."
+
+They hugged and said they were sorry again. They decided to play with the fan together. They took turns wearing the scarf, the hat and the cape. They laughed and felt the wind. They were still best friends. They promised to share and be nice to each other.
+Lily liked to sign. She learned how to sign from her mom, who was deaf. Lily could talk and hear, but she also liked to use her hands to say things. She signed to her mom, her dad, her friends, and even her cat.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the city. They saw many big buildings made of steel. Steel was hard and shiny and cold. Lily touched one of the buildings and felt how smooth it was. She asked her mom, "What is this building for?" Her mom signed, "This is a museum. A museum is a place where you can see and learn about many things."
+
+Lily and her mom went inside the museum. They saw many modern things. Modern meant new and different and sometimes strange. They saw paintings and sculptures and machines and toys. Lily liked some of the things, but not all of them. She signed to her mom, "I like the colorful painting. It looks like a rainbow. But I don't like the metal sculpture. It looks like a monster."
+
+Her mom signed, "That's okay. Everyone has different tastes. You don't have to like everything. But you can try to understand why someone else might like it. That's part of learning and growing."
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to learn and grow. She also wanted to have fun. She saw a sign that said "Kids Zone". She signed to her mom, "Can we go there?" Her mom smiled and signed, "Of course. Let's go and play." They held hands and walked to the Kids Zone, where they found many fun and simple things to do. Lily was happy. She liked to sign, and she liked to explore.
+Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in their big house. They had many toys and games, but their favorite thing was to go up and down the stairs. They pretended they were climbing a mountain or a castle or a spaceship.
+
+One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the attic." She took them by the hand and led them to the top of the stairs. There was a small door that they had never seen before. "What's in there, mom?" Tom asked. "You'll see," mom said with a smile.
+
+She opened the door and they saw a bright and cozy room. There was a big window, a soft rug, a bookshelf, and a chest. "This is your new playroom," mom said. "I fixed it up for you. You can include all your toys and books here. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom and Mia were so happy. They hugged their mom and thanked her. They ran to the chest and opened it. Inside, they found more toys and games, some old and some new. They saw a train set, a dollhouse, a puzzle, a drum, and a magic wand. "Wow, this is amazing!" Mia said. "This is the best surprise ever!"
+
+They started to play with their new things. They made the train go around the tracks, they moved the dolls in the house, they solved the puzzle, they banged the drum, and they waved the wand. They had so much fun that they forgot about the time.
+
+But then, something strange happened. The wand started to glow and make a sound. Tom and Mia looked at it curiously. They pointed it at different things and said, "Abracadabra!" Suddenly, the things changed. The train turned into a real train, the dollhouse turned into a real house, the puzzle turned into a picture, the drum turned into a cake, and the window turned into a portal.
+
+Tom and Mia were amazed and scared. They had no idea what to do. They wanted to go back to their mom, but they couldn't find the door. They were trapped in their new playroom, which was not so ordinary anymore. They wished they had never touched the wand. They wondered what would happen next.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big book with pictures of a jungle. They wonder what it was like to live in a jungle with many animals and plants. They decided to pretend they were jungle explorers and took the book with them.
+
+They ran to the park and found a big tree. They climbed the tree and looked at the book. They saw lions, monkeys, snakes, and birds. They made noises like the animals and had fun. They forgot about the time and their mom.
+
+Mom was looking for them. She was worried and angry. She called their names and searched the park. She saw the book on the ground and picked it up. She knew it was from the library and they were not supposed to take it. She followed the book to the tree and saw Lily and Tom.
+
+Lily and Tom heard mom's voice and looked down. They saw mom holding the book and looking mad. They felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. They climbed down the tree and said sorry to mom. Mom hugged them and said they should not take things that were not theirs. She said they had to return the book and say sorry to the librarian. Lily and Tom nodded and said they would. They learned their lesson and never took books again.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big radio in a shop window. It had many buttons and colors and made nice sounds. Lily and Tom wanted to have the radio, but they had no money.
+
+They asked their parents, but their parents said no. They said the radio was too expensive and they had to save money for other things. Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They thought their parents were mean and poor.
+
+They decided to take the radio without paying. They waited until the shopkeeper was busy and ran inside. They grabbed the radio and ran out. They thought they were very clever and happy.
+
+But they did not see the policeman who saw them. He followed them and caught them. He took them back to the shop and made them say sorry to the shopkeeper. He also called their parents and told them what they did.
+
+Lily and Tom felt very ashamed and scared. They realized they did a bad thing. They learned that stealing is wrong and that they should be grateful for what they have. They also learned that their parents were not mean and poor, but kind and wise. They hugged their parents and the shopkeeper and promised to never steal again. They also gave back the radio and said goodbye to it. They went home and played with their own toys. They were still friends, but better friends.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to test new things. She liked to test new toys, new foods, and new places. But she did not like to test new people. She was shy and scared of unknown people.
+
+One day, her mom told her they had to go to a new home. Mom said they had to move because of her job. Lily did not want to move. She liked her old home, her old friends, and her old school. She did not want to test a new home.
+
+When they got to the new home, Lily saw a big house with a big yard. Mom said it was their new home. Lily did not like it. It was too big and too different. She did not want to go inside. She wanted to go back to her old home.
+
+Mom tried to make Lily feel better. She said they could decorate her new room, play with her new toys, and meet her new neighbors. She said they would be happy in their new home. She said Lily would like to test new things.
+
+Lily did not believe her mom. She did not want to test new things. She wanted to keep her old things. She was angry and sad. She cried and said she hated their new home.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said she understood. She said she was sorry for making Lily feel bad. She said she loved Lily very much. She said they could test new things together, slowly and gently. She said they could also keep some old things, like their photos, their books, and their memories. She said they could make their new home feel like their old home.
+
+Lily looked at her mom and saw her smile. She felt her mom's warmth and heard her mom's voice. She felt a little better. She still did not like their new home, but she loved her mom. She decided to give their new home a chance. She decided to test new things, with her mom by her side. She said she loved her mom too. She said they could try their new home.
+Ben and Lily liked to play guess games. They would take turns to hide something and the other one had to guess what it was. One day, they found a big yellow box in the hall. It had a label that said "post". They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's play guess with the box!" Ben said. "I will hide it and you have to guess where it is."
+
+"OK!" Lily agreed. She closed her eyes and counted to ten. Ben dragged the box to the kitchen and hid it behind the table. Then he ran back to the hall and said, "Ready!"
+
+Lily opened her eyes and looked around. She saw the box was gone. She guessed it was in the living room. She went there and looked under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the toy box. But she did not find the yellow box.
+
+"No, it's not here!" she shouted. "Give me a clue!"
+
+Ben laughed. He said, "It's near something that makes food."
+
+Lily thought. She guessed it was in the kitchen. She ran there and saw the yellow box behind the table. She was happy. She pulled the box out and said, "I found it!"
+
+But as she pulled the box, she knocked over a pot of hot soup that was on the stove. The soup spilled all over the floor and the box. It burned Lily's hands and feet. She screamed in pain. Ben heard her and ran to the kitchen. He saw what happened and felt sorry. He tried to help her, but he also burned himself.
+
+Mum and Dad heard the noise and came to the kitchen. They saw the mess and the children crying. They were angry and worried. They took the children to the bathroom and put cold water on their burns. Then they called the doctor and the post office.
+
+The doctor came and gave the children some medicine and bandages. He said they would be OK, but they had to be careful. The post office came and took the yellow box away. They said it was a mistake. The box was not for Ben and Lily. It was for someone else. It had a very special gift inside. But now the gift was ruined by the soup.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not played guess with the box. They learned a lesson. They said they would never do it again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a lot of mist in the air. The mist is white and soft. It makes everything look blurry.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek in the mist!" Ben says. He likes to run and hide.
+
+"OK, but don't go too far!" Lily says. She likes to find and seek.
+
+Ben counts to ten and then looks for Lily. He runs behind a tree, a bench, a slide. He can't see Lily. He calls her name, but she doesn't answer. He feels scared. He thinks he lost Lily in the mist.
+
+Lily hears Ben calling her name. She is hiding behind a bush. She thinks Ben is playing a trick on her. She waits for him to find her. She doesn't know he is scared. She feels bored. She thinks Ben is a bad seeker.
+
+After a while, the mist starts to clear. Ben sees Lily behind the bush. He runs to her and hugs her. He is happy to see her.
+
+"Lily, I thought I lost you in the mist!" Ben says. He is sorry for running too far.
+
+"Ben, I thought you were playing a trick on me!" Lily says. She is sorry for hiding too long.
+
+They say sorry to each other and smile. They are still friends. They decide to play something else. They don't like the mist. The mist is too little and too big.
+Ben was a fisherman who liked to catch fish in the sea. He had a big boat and a net. Every morning, he would go to the sea and look for fish. He liked to see the sun shine on the water and the birds fly in the sky.
+
+One day, the sea was very rough. The waves were big and the wind was strong. Ben was not afraid. He said to himself, "I can catch many fish today. The fish like to swim in the rough sea." He threw his net into the water and waited.
+
+But he waited and waited and no fish came. He pulled his net back and saw that it was empty. He tried again and again, but he could not catch any fish. He was sad and angry. He said to himself, "Where are all the fish? Why are they hiding from me?"
+
+He looked around and saw another boat nearby. It was smaller than his boat and had a sail. On the boat, there was a boy and a girl. They were smiling and laughing. They had a rod and a hook. They were catching many fish.
+
+Ben was curious. He sailed his boat closer to their boat and shouted, "Hey, you! How do you catch so many fish? What is your secret?"
+
+The boy and the girl looked at him and said, "Hello, fisherman. We have no secret. We just use a rod and a hook. We put a worm on the hook and throw it into the water. The fish like to eat the worm and bite the hook. Then we pull them out and put them in a basket."
+
+Ben was surprised. He said, "But that is so simple. Why do you not use a net like me? A net can catch many fish at once."
+
+The boy and the girl said, "But a net can also scare the fish away. The fish do not like to see a big net in the water. They swim away and hide. A rod and a hook are more gentle and quiet. The fish do not notice them until it is too late."
+
+Ben thought about it and said, "You are right. A rod and a hook are better than a net. Can you teach me how to use them?"
+
+The boy and the girl said, "Sure, we can. Come and join us. We have enough worms and hooks for you. We can share our fish with you. We can be friends."
+
+Ben was happy. He said, "Thank you, thank you. You are very kind and smart. I want to be your friend. I want to learn from you. I want to catch fish with you."
+
+He parked his boat next to their boat and climbed on board. He took a rod and a hook and put a worm on it. He threw it into the water and waited. Soon, he felt a tug and pulled out a fish. He was very excited. He said, "Look, look, I caught a fish. I caught a fish with a rod and a hook. This is fun. This is fun."
+
+The boy and the girl clapped and cheered. They said, "Well done, well done. You are a good fisherman. You are a good friend. We are happy for you. We are happy with you."
+
+They all smiled and laughed. They caught more fish and put them in their baskets. They saw the sun shine on the water and the birds fly in the sky. They had a good day. They had a good time.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to spin on the round thing. It made them feel funny and happy. They spun faster and faster, laughing and holding hands.
+
+"Look, we are in motion!" Lily said. "We are like the birds in the sky or the cars on the road."
+
+"Yes, we are!" Ben said. "But I am also hungry. Can we have a snack soon?"
+
+Lily nodded. She was hungry too. They stopped spinning and got off the round thing. They felt dizzy and wobbly. They walked to the bench where their mom was waiting for them.
+
+"Did you have fun, my loves?" Mom asked. She had a big bag with sandwiches, apples, and cookies.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we did!" Lily and Ben said. "We spun on the round thing and we were in motion!"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She gave them each a sandwich and an apple. They ate them with big bites. They felt better and less hungry.
+
+"Can we have a cookie too, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can, sweetie," Mom said. She gave them each a cookie. They ate them with small bites. They felt full and happy.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, you are the best!" Ben said.
+
+"You are welcome, my loves," Mom said. "Now, do you want to play some more or go home?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were tired from spinning and eating. They wanted to go home and rest.
+
+"Let's go home, Mom," they said.
+
+"Okay, let's go," Mom said. She packed the bag and took their hands. They walked to the car. They were still in motion, but slower and calmer. They felt sleepy and cozy. They closed their eyes and dreamed of spinning on the round thing again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb the hill and see the view.
+
+"Let's go up the hill!" Lily says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The hill is steep and rocky." Ben says.
+
+They start to climb the hill. Lily is fast and strong. She manages to reach the top first. She looks around and sees the view. She sees the blue sky, the green trees, the yellow flowers and the red houses. She is happy.
+
+"Wow, the view is so pretty!" Lily says.
+
+Ben is slow and tired. He struggles to climb the hill. He slips and falls. He hurts his knee. He is sad.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! I can't climb the hill. The hill is too hard. I want to go home." Ben says.
+
+Lily hears Ben cry. She feels sorry for him. She decides to help him.
+
+"Ben, don't cry. I will come down and help you. We can climb the hill together." Lily says.
+
+She goes down the hill and finds Ben. She holds his hand and helps him stand up. She wipes his tears and kisses his knee. She smiles at him.
+
+"Ben, you are my friend. I don't want you to be sad. We can share the view. Come on, let's go up the hill again." Lily says.
+
+Ben feels better. He smiles back at Lily. He holds her hand and climbs the hill with her. He manages to reach the top with her. He looks around and sees the view. He sees the blue sky, the green trees, the yellow flowers and the red houses. He is happy.
+
+"Wow, the view is so pretty!" Ben says.
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other. They enjoy the view together. They are happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Friends help each other. Sharing is caring.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red bike and a blue bike. They take turns to ride the bikes.
+
+One day, Anna wants to ride the red bike. She says to Ben, "Please, can I have the red bike? It is faster than the blue bike. I want to speed on the path."
+
+Ben says, "No, you had the red bike yesterday. It is my turn today. You can have the blue bike. It is slower, but it is nice. You can see the flowers and the birds."
+
+Anna is impatient. She does not want to see the flowers and the birds. She wants to speed on the path. She says, "But I don't like the blue bike. It is boring. I want the red bike. Give it to me!"
+
+Ben is angry. He does not want to give the red bike to Anna. He says, "No, you are not nice. You are selfish. You always want what I have. Go away!"
+
+Anna is sad. She does not want to go away. She wants to play with Ben. She looks around the park. She sees a yellow daisy. She picks it up. She goes to Ben. She says, "I am sorry, Ben. I was not nice. I was selfish. You can have the red bike. I have a daisy for you. It is pretty. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben smiles. He takes the daisy. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are nice. You are not selfish. I like the daisy. It is pretty. Do you want to ride the blue bike with me? We can see the flowers and the birds together."
+
+Anna smiles. She says, "Yes, I want to ride the blue bike with you. We can see the flowers and the birds together. And we can speed on the path too, sometimes."
+
+They hug. They get on the bikes. They ride in the park. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily liked to wander around the park with her mom. She saw many things that made her happy: flowers, birds, dogs, and children. One day, she heard a sound that was new to her. It was music.
+
+She followed the music to a big yellow tent. Inside, there were people playing instruments and singing. Lily wanted to join them. She ran into the tent and picked up a drum. She banged on it as loud as she could.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" a man shouted. "You are ruining our music!"
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the drum and ran back to her mom. She was crying.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry, I just wanted to play music," she sobbed.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you were curious. But you have to ask before you touch other people's things. And you have to be respectful of their work. Music is a gift, but it also takes practice and patience."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, music people. Can I listen to your music?"
+
+The man who shouted came out of the tent. He looked at Lily and smiled. He said, "Sure, you can listen. And maybe one day, you can learn to play music too. But first, you have to say sorry to the drum."
+
+Lily walked to the drum and said, "Sorry, drum. You are a nice drum. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The drum did not answer, but it seemed to sparkle in the sun. Lily felt happy again. She learned that music is fun, but also needs care and respect. She also learned to say sorry when she makes a mistake. She and her mom stayed and listened to the music until it was time to go home.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make noises and pretend they were going on adventures.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is very fast and strong!" Ben said.
+
+"My doll is very pretty and kind, she likes to help people!" Lily said.
+
+They played happily for a while, until they saw a big box in the corner. It was wrapped in shiny paper and had a bow on top. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Wow, look at that box! It is very big and impressive!" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it is a present for us! Let's go and see!" Ben said.
+
+They ran to the box and touched it. It felt hard and heavy. They tried to shake it, but it did not make any sound.
+
+"What do you think is in it?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, maybe a bike or a train or a robot!" Ben guessed.
+
+"Maybe a dress or a book or a teddy bear!" Lily guessed.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They wanted to open the box and find out.
+
+"Should we open it now?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She looked at the box and then at Ben. She remembered that Mommy and Daddy had told them not to touch the box until they came home. They said it was a surprise for them.
+
+Lily decided to be a good girl and listen to Mommy and Daddy. She shook her head and said, "No, we should wait for Mommy and Daddy. They will be happy if we do."
+
+Ben nodded and agreed. He decided to be a good boy and listen to Mommy and Daddy too. He said, "OK, let's wait for Mommy and Daddy. They will tell us what is in the box."
+
+They left the box alone and went back to their toys. They played some more and talked about what they hoped was in the box. They were very curious and excited, but they were also very patient and obedient.
+
+Soon, they heard the door open and Mommy and Daddy came in. They saw Lily and Ben playing in the living room and smiled.
+
+"Hello, my sweeties! How are you?" Mommy said.
+
+"We are good, Mommy! We were playing with our toys!" Lily said.
+
+"And we saw the big box, but we did not open it!" Ben said.
+
+Mommy and Daddy looked surprised and proud. They hugged Lily and Ben and said, "Wow, you are very good children! We are so happy that you did not open the box!"
+
+They took Lily and Ben to the box and said, "This box is a present for you, because you are such wonderful children. Do you want to open it now?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please!"
+
+Mommy and Daddy helped them open the box. Inside, there was a big and fluffy dog. It had brown fur and black eyes and a wet nose. It wagged its tail and licked Lily and Ben's faces.
+
+Lily and Ben gasped and laughed. They hugged the dog and said, "Wow, a dog! We love it! Thank you, Mommy and Daddy!"
+
+Mommy and Daddy smiled and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties! This dog is your new friend. You can name it and take care of it."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the dog and thought of a name. They decided to call it Spot, because it had a black spot on its ear. They said, "Hello, Spot! We are Lily and Ben. We are your new family!"
+
+Spot barked and wagged its tail. It was very happy to meet Lily and Ben. They played with Spot and gave it some food and water. They were very happy and grateful for their present.
+
+Mommy and Daddy watched them and said, "We are so proud of you, Lily and Ben. You are very good children and very good friends to Spot. We love you very much!"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at Mommy and Daddy and said, "We love you too, Mommy and Daddy! And we love Spot! This is the best day ever!"
+Tommy and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Tommy found a big worm and showed it to Lily. Lily was scared of the worm and ran away.
+
+"Come back, Lily! It's just a worm. It can't hurt you," Tommy called.
+
+"No, no, no! I don't like worms. They are slimy and wiggly," Lily said.
+
+Tommy felt sad. He wanted to share his worm with Lily. He thought she would like it too. He put the worm back in the dirt and followed Lily.
+
+Lily was hiding behind a bush. She saw Tommy coming and tried to shut her eyes. She hoped he would go away. But Tommy saw her and came closer.
+
+"Lily, please don't be mad at me. I'm sorry I scared you with the worm. I just wanted to show you something cool," Tommy said.
+
+Lily opened her eyes and looked at Tommy. She saw that he was holding a flower in his hand. It was a yellow flower with a red center. It was very pretty.
+
+"This is for you, Lily. I picked it for you. It smells nice. Do you want to smell it?" Tommy said.
+
+Lily felt curious. She liked flowers. She reached out her hand and took the flower from Tommy. She brought it close to her nose and sniffed. It did smell nice. She smiled at Tommy.
+
+"Thank you, Tommy. This is a nice flower. I like it," Lily said.
+
+Tommy smiled back. He was happy that Lily liked his flower. He was compassionate. He wanted to make Lily feel better.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. Do you want to play with me again?" Tommy said.
+
+Lily nodded. She was not scared of Tommy anymore. She was sorry she ran away from him. She wanted to play with him again.
+
+"Yes, Tommy. I want to play with you again. You are my friend," Lily said.
+
+They hugged and ran back to the garden. They played and laughed and had fun. They forgot about the worm and the flower. They were happy.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the mud. They made mud pies, mud castles, and mud animals. They had so much fun that they did not hear their mom call them for dinner.
+
+"Where are Lily and Max?" mom asked dad. "They should be here by now."
+
+Dad looked out the window and saw the twins covered in mud. "Oh no, they are very dirty. They need a bath right now."
+
+He went outside and called them. "Lily, Max, come here. You have to take a bath before dinner."
+
+Lily and Max groaned. They did not like baths. They liked mud. They ran away from dad and hid behind a tree.
+
+"Please, dad, no bath. We want to play more," they said.
+
+Dad shook his head. "No, you have to take a bath. You are too dirty to eat. And you will make the house dirty too. Come on, it will be quick and fun. I will help you."
+
+He took them by the hand and led them to the bathroom. He filled the tub with warm water and bubbles. He gave them each a toy to play with. He washed their hair and bodies with soap and shampoo. He rinsed them with clean water.
+
+Lily and Max smiled. They liked the bubbles and the toys. They liked how the water felt on their skin. They liked how they smelled after the bath.
+
+Dad wrapped them in white bathrobes and dried them with a towel. He hugged them and kissed them. "There, you are clean and cozy. Don't you feel better?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They felt better. They thanked dad for the bath. They put on their pajamas and went to the kitchen. Mom was waiting for them with a delicious dinner. She smiled and praised them for being clean and good.
+
+Lily and Max learned a lesson. They learned that baths are not bad. They learned that they have to listen to their mom and dad. They learned that being clean is important and nice. They still liked to play in the mud, but they also liked to take baths. They were happy twins.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a big box in the park. It had a sign that said "welcome". Tom and Sam were curious. They wanted to see what was inside the box.
+
+"Let's go and look," Tom said. "Maybe there are toys or candy in the box."
+
+"OK," Sam said. "But we have to be careful. Maybe it is a trap."
+
+They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw a lot of shiny things. There were coins and jewels and watches. Tom and Sam were happy. They thought they were rich.
+
+"Wow, look at all this!" Tom said. "We can take some and buy whatever we want."
+
+"Yes, let's do that," Sam said. "But we have to be quick. Maybe someone will come and see us."
+
+They put some of the shiny things in their pockets and bags. They did not see the man who was hiding behind a tree. He was watching them with a mean smile. He had put the box and the sign there to trick them. He wanted to steal their things and hurt them.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha," the man said. "What foolish boys. They fell for my trap. Now I will get them."
+
+He came out of his hiding place and ran to the box. He slammed the lid shut and locked it. Tom and Sam were trapped inside. They could not get out. They were scared and sad. They realized they had made a big mistake.
+
+"Help, help!" they cried. "Let us out! We are sorry!"
+
+But no one heard them. The man laughed and took their things. He left them in the box and went away. Tom and Sam cried and wished they had not been so greedy and foolish. They learned a hard lesson. The end.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their homes. One day, they saw many pink flowers on the trees. They were cherry blossoms. They were very pretty.
+
+"Look, Lily, the trees are blooming!" Ben said. "They have pink hair!"
+
+"Yes, they do!" Lily said. "They look like fairy princesses!"
+
+They ran to the trees and touched the flowers gently. They smelled sweet and soft.
+
+"Can we pick some?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She was a thoughtful girl. She knew the flowers were part of the trees. She did not want to hurt them.
+
+"I don't think so, Ben," she said. "The flowers are happy on the trees. They make the trees happy too. If we pick them, they will die. And the trees will be sad."
+
+Ben nodded. He understood. He was a thoughtful boy too. He did not want to make anyone sad.
+
+"OK, Lily, you are right," he said. "Let's just look at them and enjoy them. They are a gift from nature."
+
+They smiled at each other and hugged. They were happy to see the cherry blossoms. They were happy to have each other. They were happy to be thoughtful.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was a castle. Lila was the queen and Tom was the king. They had a lot of fun making up stories and rules for their kingdom.
+
+One day, they found a magic wand in the box. It was shiny and had a star on the end. Lila picked it up and waved it in the air. She said, "I wish I had a crown and a dress like a real queen!"
+
+Suddenly, a crown and a dress appeared on her head and body. They were sparkly and beautiful. Lila was very happy and put them on. She said, "Look, Tom, I'm a real queen now!"
+
+Tom was amazed and wanted to try the wand too. He grabbed it from Lila and said, "I wish I had a sword and a horse like a real king!"
+
+But Tom was clumsy and he dropped the wand. It fell on the ground and broke. The star came off and flew away. Tom and Lila watched in horror as the wand vanished.
+
+"Oh no!" Lila cried. "What have you done, Tom? You broke the magic wand!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila!" Tom said. "I didn't mean to! Can we fix it?"
+
+They tried to put the wand back together, but it was no use. It was gone forever. They felt very sad and scared. They wondered what would happen to their crown, dress, sword and horse.
+
+They looked at each other and hoped that the magic would not vanish too.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with a long tail. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. Tom and Lily wanted to pet the dog.
+
+"Can we touch the dog?" Tom asked Lily.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Lily said.
+
+They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a book and a hat. He was the owner of the dog.
+
+"Excuse me, sir. Can we pet your dog?" Lily asked politely.
+
+The man looked up and smiled. He nodded and said, "Sure, you can. His name is Spot. He is very gentle and likes children. But you have to remain calm and let him sniff your hand first. That's how dogs say hello."
+
+Tom and Lily followed the man's advice. They remained calm and let Spot sniff their hand. Then they gently stroked his fur and ears. Spot licked their faces and made them giggle.
+
+"Thank you, sir. Your dog is very nice," Tom said.
+

+
+Tom and Lily said goodbye to the man and Spot. They continued to play in the park. They felt happy and normal. They liked to make new friends.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns going down. They laughed and had fun.
+
+Then they saw a jug on a bench. It was blue and had a picture of a cow on it. They wondered what was inside. They went to the bench and picked up the jug. They opened the lid and smelled something bad. They made a face and said, "Ew!"
+
+Mom and dad saw them and came over. They looked at the jug and were troubled. They said, "That's not a jug for drinking. That's a jug for milk. Someone left it here and it went bad. Put it down and wash your hands. That's yucky and can make you sick."
+
+Anna and Ben did what mom and dad said. They put the jug back on the bench and ran to the water fountain. They washed their hands and rinsed their mouths. They said, "Sorry, mom and dad. We didn't know. We were curious."
+
+Mom and dad hugged them and said, "It's okay. We know you were curious. But next time, don't touch things that don't belong to you. They might be dirty or dangerous. Ask us first, okay?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Okay." They learned their lesson and went back to play. They forgot about the jug and enjoyed the park.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play and talk. One day, they go for a walk in the park. They see many things. They see birds, flowers, trees and swings.
+
+"Look, Sam, a tall slide!" Tom says. He runs to the slide. He wants to go up and down.
+
+"Wait for me, Tom!" Sam says. He runs after Tom. He wants to go up and down too.
+
+But when they get to the slide, they see a big boy. He is very tall and mean. He blocks the slide. He does not let Tom and Sam go up.
+
+"Go away, you little rats!" the big boy says. He pushes Tom and Sam. He makes them fall.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom and Sam cry. They are hurt and sad. They do not like the big boy. They do not want to play anymore.
+
+They run away from the slide. They run back to their moms. They hug their moms. They tell them what happened.
+
+Their moms are angry and sorry. They say, "That big boy is very bad. He should not push and hurt you. You did not deserve that. We are sorry you had a bad walk."
+
+Tom and Sam nod. They are still hurt and sad. They wish they did not meet the big boy. They wish they had a good walk.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to watch cars on the road. They sit on the grass and point at the cars. They say the colors and the sounds of the cars.
+
+"Look, a red car! Vroom, vroom!" Lily says.
+
+"Look, a blue car! Beep, beep!" Tom says.
+
+They watch and watch until they are hungry. They want to eat something. They see a big truck stop near them. The truck has a sign that says "Gas". They wonder what gas is.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you know what gas is?" A man comes out of the truck. He has a hose and a tank.
+
+"No, what is gas?" Lily asks.
+
+"Gas is what makes the cars go. It is like food for the cars. I have gas in my truck and I give it to the cars that need it." The man explains.
+
+"Wow, that is cool. Can we see?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Gas is not for kids. It can hurt you. You have to stay away from the hose and the tank." The man says.
+
+He shows them how he puts the hose in the car and fills it with gas. He tells them how much gas the car needs and how much it costs. He lets them touch the sign and the truck.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They learn something new. They thank the man and wave goodbye. They are still hungry, but they are also curious. They want to watch more cars and learn more things. They sit on the grass and wait for the next car.
+Lily liked to polish her shoes. She had a red cloth and a tin of wax. She rubbed the wax on her shoes and then rubbed the cloth on them. She liked how they shone and felt smooth. She liked the texture of the wax and the cloth.
+
+One day, she wanted to polish her teddy bear too. She thought he would look nice and shiny. She took the wax and the cloth and went to her room. She put some wax on her teddy bear's fur and started to rub the cloth on him.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" said her teddy bear. "That hurts! Stop it!"
+
+Lily was surprised. She did not know her teddy bear could talk. She stopped rubbing and looked at him. He looked sad and sticky. His fur was clumpy and dull.
+
+"I'm sorry, teddy bear," said Lily. "I wanted to polish you. I wanted you to look nice and shiny like my shoes."
+
+"But I'm not a shoe, Lily," said her teddy bear. "I'm a teddy bear. I don't need wax and cloth. I need hugs and kisses. That's what makes me happy and soft."
+
+Lily felt bad. She hugged her teddy bear and kissed him. She said she was sorry again. She took a wet towel and wiped off the wax from his fur. She brushed him with a comb and made him fluffy again.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," said her teddy bear. "You are a good friend. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, teddy bear," said Lily. "You are my best friend. I won't polish you anymore. I will only hug you and kiss you."
+
+They smiled and cuddled. Lily learned that polishing was not always successful. Sometimes, it was better to just love.
+Ben and Mia are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. Ben likes to number his blocks. He says, "This is one, this is two, this is three." Mia likes to make her blocks spark. She says, "Look, this is red, this is yellow, this is blue."
+
+Ben and Mia are happy until they run out of blocks. They both want the last block. It is a big, chubby block. Ben says, "I want it. It is four." Mia says, "No, I want it. It is sparky." They pull and tug and shout.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see. She says, "What is going on? Why are you fighting?" Ben and Mia tell her about the block. Mom says, "You can share the block. You can take turns. Or you can use it together. How about that?"
+
+Ben and Mia think for a moment. They say, "Okay, we can use it together." They put the block on top of their towers and houses and cars. They say, "Look, it is four and sparky." They smile and hug. Mom says, "That's better. Good job, Ben and Mia."

+
+His mom heard him and ran to him. She saw his arm was red and swollen. She said, "Oh no, Tom, you need to go to the hospital. I will call an ambulance."
+
+Soon, a big truck with a siren and a cross came. It was the ambulance. Two men came out and put Tom on a bed with wheels. They were very kind and gave him a bandage and a teddy bear. They said, "Don't worry, Tom, we will take you to the doctor. He will make your arm better."
+
+On the way to the hospital, Tom saw many things from the window. He saw cars, trees, houses, and people. He also saw a cat on a fence. The cat was very nosy and wanted to see what was happening. It jumped on the roof of the ambulance and meowed.
+
+Tom heard the cat and smiled. He said, "Look, mom, there is a cat on the ambulance. It wants to fly too."
+
+His mom said, "Yes, Tom, it is a very nosy cat. But it can't fly, only birds can fly. And you can't fly either, you are a boy. You have to be careful and stay on the ground."
+
+Tom said, "I know, mom, I was silly. I won't try to fly again. I just want my arm to be better."
+
+His mom said, "I love you, Tom. You will be better soon." She hugged him and kissed him. The cat jumped off the ambulance and ran away. The ambulance reached the hospital and the doctor fixed Tom's arm. Tom was happy and learned his lesson. He never tried to fly again.

+Lily and Ben were making a cake with Mom. They had flour, eggs, sugar, butter and milk. Mom told them to add one egg at a time and mix well. Lily and Ben took turns to crack the eggs and pour them in the bowl.
+
+"Can I add some chocolate chips?" Ben asked. He loved chocolate and wanted the cake to have a lot of it.
+
+"Sure, but not too many," Mom said. "We don't want the cake to be too sweet."
+
+Ben nodded and opened the bag of chocolate chips. He poured some in his hand and then sprinkled them in the bowl. He did it again and again, until the bag was empty.
+
+"Lily, look how much chocolate I added!" Ben said proudly. He showed her the bowl, which was full of brown dots.
+
+Lily gasped. She thought Ben was being rude. He did not share the chocolate chips with her, and he did not listen to Mom. She wanted the cake to have a nice taste, not just chocolate.
+
+"Ben, that's too much!" Lily said. She tried to take some chocolate chips out of the bowl, but they were stuck in the batter.
+
+"Stop it, Lily!" Ben said. He pushed her hand away. "The cake will be yummy with more chocolate!"
+
+Mom heard them arguing and came to see what was wrong. She saw the bowl and frowned.
+
+"Ben, what did you do?" Mom asked. She was not happy with Ben. He wasted the chocolate chips and ruined the cake.
+
+"I added more chocolate, Mom," Ben said. He did not understand why Mom was angry. He thought he was helping.
+
+"Ben, that was not a good idea," Mom said. "You were rude to Lily and to me. You did not share, and you did not follow the recipe. Now the cake will not bake well, and it will not have a good taste."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to be rude. He just wanted to make the cake better.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. He looked at the bowl and wished he could take the chocolate chips back.
+
+Mom sighed. She hugged Ben and Lily and said, "It's okay, Ben. I know you were excited. But next time, you have to be more careful and respectful. And Lily, I know you were upset, but you have to be gentle and patient. How about we make another cake together, and we share the chocolate chips?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They helped Mom clean the bowl and get new ingredients. They made another cake, and this time, they added the right amount of chocolate chips. The cake baked well, and it had a delicious taste. Lily and Ben were happy, and Mom was proud. They enjoyed the cake and learned a lesson.

+
+The ostrich eats the carrot and makes a happy noise. He nods his head and says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are my friend too." He hugs Tom back and gives him a feather.
+
+Tom smiles and says, "I love you, ostrich. You are the best." He puts the feather in his hat and waves goodbye.
+
+He goes to his mom and dad and tells them what happened. They are proud of him and the ostrich. They say, "You are a brave and kind boy, Tom. And the ostrich is a brave and kind animal. You are both very special." They hug him and take him home.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cat in the park. It is a leopard. The leopard is hungry. It sees Ben and Mia and wants to eat them.
+
+Ben and Mia are scared. They hurry to the slide. They climb up the slide and slide down. The leopard runs after them. It tries to catch them, but it is too big for the slide. It gets stuck on the slide.
+
+Ben and Mia run to the swings. They swing high and fast. The leopard frees itself from the slide. It chases them again. It jumps to grab them, but it misses. It falls on the ground.
+
+Ben and Mia run to the gate. They see a man with a truck. The man is a zookeeper. He came to take the leopard back to the zoo. He has a net and a cage. He throws the net over the leopard and puts it in the cage.
+
+Ben and Mia are safe. They are happy. The zookeeper is sorry. He says the leopard escaped from the zoo. He says he will give them a reward. He asks them what they want.
+
+Ben and Mia think. They want something sweet. They ask for candy. The zookeeper smiles. He gives them candy. But the candy is sour. Ben and Mia make a face. They do not like sour candy. They wish they asked for something else.
+Sara and Tom were waiting for Grandma to arrive. They liked Grandma very much. She always brought them toys and books and candy. She also told them funny stories and played with them.
+
+They heard a big noise outside. It was Grandma's car. They ran to the door and opened it. Grandma was there, smiling and waving. She had a big trunk with her.
+
+"Hello, my sweeties!" Grandma said. "I'm so glad to see you!"
+
+"Grandma, Grandma!" Sara and Tom shouted. They hugged her and kissed her. "We're so glad to see you too!"
+
+"What's in the trunk, Grandma?" Tom asked. He was curious.
+
+"It's a surprise for you," Grandma said. "Let's go inside and open it."
+
+They helped Grandma carry the trunk inside. They put it on the floor and opened it. Inside, there were many things. There were clothes and shoes and hats for Sara and Tom. There were also toys and books and candy for them.
+
+"Wow, Grandma, thank you!" Sara and Tom said. They were very happy.

+Sara and Ben like to play with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and stories with their cars, dolls and blocks. Sometimes, they also like to listen to music on the radio. They dance and sing along to the songs they know.
+
+One day, their mom tells them she has to go to the store for a little while. She says they can stay in the living room and play, but they have to be good and not make too much noise. She also says they have to pass the phone to her if it rings. She gives them a kiss and leaves.
+
+Sara and Ben nod and say yes, mom. They continue to play with their toys and the music. They are happy and quiet. But then, they hear a knock on the door. They wonder who it is. They look at each other and decide to go see.
+
+They open the door and see a lady they don't know. She has a big hat and a big nose. She smiles and says hello. She says she is their neighbor and she wants to talk to their mom. She says she is very nosy and she likes to know everything that happens in the street.
+
+Sara and Ben don't like the lady. They think she is rude and mean. They don't want to talk to her. They want her to go away. They remember what their mom said. They have an idea. They say, sorry, lady, we can't talk to you. We have to pass the phone to our mom. She is very busy. They close the door and run to the phone. They pretend to call their mom and tell her about the lady. They hope she will come back soon. They turn up the music and dance. They are happy and loud. They don't care about the lady. They don't like nosy people. They like music and toys. They like each other. They are good kids.
+Lily and Max liked to play with water. They had a big navy bucket and a small spray bottle. They filled the bucket with water from the hose and took turns to spray each other. They laughed and splashed and had fun.
+
+But one day, they saw a big, black cloud in the sky. It looked angry and troubled. Lily and Max heard a loud boom and saw a bright flash. They were scared. They ran to the house and knocked on the door.
+
+"Mama, mama, let us in!" they cried. "There is a storm!"
+
+Mama opened the door and hugged them. She took them inside and gave them towels and cookies. She told them not to worry. The storm would pass soon.
+
+Lily and Max looked out the window and saw the rain falling hard. They saw their bucket and spray bottle on the grass. They were wet and lonely.
+
+"Can we go back and play with them?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie," Mama said. "They are too wet and cold. Maybe tomorrow, when the sun comes out."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They knew Mama was right. They ate their cookies and cuddled with Mama. They hoped their bucket and spray bottle would be okay. They hoped the storm would go away. They hoped they could play with water again.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with machines. They have cars, planes, trains and robots. They make noises and pretend to go fast.
+
+One day, they see a big machine in the park. It is a fire truck. It has a ladder, a hose and a siren. It is red and shiny. Tom and Sam want to see it.
+
+"Can we go, please?" they ask their moms.
+
+"OK, but be careful," their moms say.
+
+Tom and Sam run to the fire truck. They climb on the ladder and sit in the front. They turn the wheel and press the buttons. They hear the siren and the horn.

+
+"We have to help!" Sam says.
+
+They look at each other. They are scared, but they are brave. They are ready to rescue.
+
+They turn on the siren and the horn. They drive the fire truck to the house. They use the ladder to reach the roof. They use the hose to put out the fire.
+
+They see a cat on the roof. It is trapped and scared. It meows and cries.
+
+"Look, a cat!" Tom says.
+
+"We have to save it!" Sam says.
+
+They grab the cat and put it in the fire truck. They drive back to the park. They give the cat to its owner. The owner is happy and grateful. He hugs the cat and thanks Tom and Sam.

+
+But the big butterfly is not happy. It wants to fly away. It flaps its wings and makes a loud noise. It hits the jar with its head. It scares the other butterflies.
+
+"Stop it, butterfly!" Tim says. "You are scaring us!"
+
+"Let it go, Tim," Sue says. "It does not want to be here. It wants to be free."
+
+"No, I want to keep it," Tim says. "It is mine."
+
+The big butterfly keeps making noise and hitting the jar. It makes a crack in the glass. Tim and Sue do not see it.
+
+They go inside to have lunch. They leave the jar on the table. They forget about the butterflies.
+
+The big butterfly sees the crack. It pushes harder and harder. It breaks the jar. It flies out. It is free.
+
+It sees the other butterflies in the jar. They are sad. They want to be free too.
+
+The big butterfly helps them. It pushes the jar over. It falls on the floor. It breaks. The other butterflies fly out. They are free too.
+
+They fly away. They find the flowers and the bugs. They are happy.
+
+Tim and Sue come back. They see the broken jar. They see no butterflies. They are sad.
+
+"Where are the butterflies?" Tim asks.
+

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals and plants. They see wheat. Wheat is yellow and tall. Wheat is food for people and animals.
+
+"Look, wheat!" Anna says. "Can we take some?"
+

+Sara and Ben like to collect things. They collect rocks, shells, leaves and stickers. One day, they decide to collect something new. They want to collect sheet.
+
+"What is sheet?" Sara asks Ben.
+
+"Sheet is big and soft. You use it to cover your bed. Mama has many sheet in the closet. We can take some and make a fort." Ben says.
+
+Sara and Ben go to the closet and find some sheet. They take four sheet and run to the living room. They see a tall chair and a tall table. They put two sheet over the chair and two sheet over the table. They make a big fort with sheet.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Sara says. "We can hide in the fort and play games."
+
+"Yes, and we can use our other things to decorate the fort. I have some rocks and shells. You have some leaves and stickers. Let's make our fort pretty." Ben says.

+
+They crawl inside the fort and play games. They pretend they are pirates, or astronauts, or animals. They have a lot of fun with their sheet fort. They are proud of their collection.
+Anna was very excited to go to the park with her mom. She ran to her room and put on her favorite dress and hat. Then she looked for her shoes. She could not find them anywhere. She checked under her bed, in her closet, and in her toy box. No shoes.
+
+"Mom, where are my shoes?" she asked.
+
+"Did you look in the living room?" her mom said.
+
+Anna rushed to the living room and saw her shoes on the floor. But they were not alone. Her puppy, Spot, was chewing on one of them. He had made a big hole in it.
+
+"Spot, no!" Anna shouted. She tried to grab her shoe, but Spot was faster. He ran away with it in his mouth.
+
+Anna chased him around the house. She was very angry and sad. She loved her shoes. They were pink and sparkly. She wanted to wear them to the park.
+
+"Spot, give me back my shoe!" she said.
+
+But Spot was persistent. He did not want to let go of his new toy. He thought it was fun to play with Anna. He wagged his tail and barked.
+
+Anna's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna and Spot running and jumping. She saw the shoe in Spot's mouth. She saw the hole in it.
+
+"Oh, no, Spot, what have you done?" she said. She took the shoe from Spot and gave it to Anna. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, honey. Spot didn't know it was your shoe. He thought it was a chew toy. He didn't mean to ruin it."
+
+Anna looked at her shoe. It was ruined. She felt like crying. She said, "But mom, I wanted to wear these shoes to the park. They are my favorite shoes. Now I can't wear them."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. We can fix them. We can sew the hole and put some glitter on it. It will look like new. And we can buy Spot a real chew toy, so he won't bother your shoes again. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna thought about it. She liked the idea of fixing her shoe and making it shiny. She also liked the idea of giving Spot a chew toy, so he would be happy and not naughty. She nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Let's do that."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "Good girl. Now, let's go to the park. We can fix your shoe later. And don't forget to put on your other shoe."
+
+Anna laughed and said, "Okay, mom. Come on, Spot. Let's go to the park."
+
+She put on her other shoe and took Spot's leash. She rushed to the door with her mom. She was excited to go to the park. She still loved her shoes. And she still loved her puppy. Even if he was persistent.
+Tim and Mia liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers and bugs. One day, they found a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy.
+
+"Look, a caterpillar!" Tim said. "Can we keep it?"
+
+Mia nodded. "Yes, let's put it in a jar. It will be our pet."
+
+They ran to the house and got a jar. They put the caterpillar in the jar with some leaves and a stick. They made holes in the lid so it could breathe.
+
+They were very happy with their pet. They named it Coco. They watched it eat and crawl. They took turns holding the jar.
+
+But one day, they saw something different. Coco was not moving. It was wrapped in a white thing. It looked like a ball.
+
+"What happened to Coco?" Mia asked. "Is it sick?"
+
+Tim shook the jar. "Wake up, Coco! Play with us!"
+
+But Coco did not wake up. It did not play. It stayed in the white thing.
+
+Tim and Mia were sad. They thought Coco was gone. They did not want to play with the jar anymore. They left it on the table.
+
+The next day, their mom called them. "Tim, Mia, come here! I have a surprise for you!"
+
+They ran to the table. They saw the jar. But Coco was not in the jar. There was a hole in the white thing. And on the lid, there was a beautiful butterfly. It had wings with many colors.
+
+"Coco!" Tim and Mia shouted. "You are a butterfly!"
+
+Their mom smiled. "Yes, Coco is a butterfly. Caterpillars change into butterflies. It is called metamorphosis. Coco was not sick. Coco was finishing its change."
+
+Tim and Mia were amazed. They wanted to touch the butterfly. But their mom stopped them.
+
+"Be careful. Butterflies are very delicate. And some of them are dangerous. They can sting or bite. We have to let Coco go. Coco belongs to the garden, not to the jar."
+
+Tim and Mia understood. They loved Coco, but they wanted Coco to be free and happy. They opened the lid and let Coco fly away. They waved goodbye to Coco.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned that some things change and some things stay the same. They learned that some things are for keeping and some things are for letting go. They learned that caterpillars are not pets, but butterflies are friends.
+Tim and Jen were hungry. They wanted to eat cake. Mom was not home. She said, "Do not touch the oven. It is hot. You can get hurt. Wait for me. I will be back soon. I promise."
+
+But Tim and Jen did not listen. They saw the cake on the table. It looked yummy. They wanted a bite. They climbed on a chair. They reached for the cake. But the cake was not done. It was still wet and gooey.
+
+They saw the oven. It was on. It had a light. They thought, "Maybe the cake needs more time in the oven. Then it will be good. Let's put it back."
+
+They opened the oven. It was very hot. They felt the heat. They tried to put the cake in. But they dropped it. The cake fell on the oven door. It made a mess. It also made a fire.
+
+The fire was big and scary. It burned the cake. It burned the oven. It burned the chair. It burned the table. It burned the kitchen. Tim and Jen screamed. They ran away. They were scared and sorry.
+
+Mom came home. She saw the fire. She saw the smoke. She saw the mess. She was angry and sad. She called the firemen. They came with a truck. They had a hose. They put out the fire.
+
+Mom hugged Tim and Jen. She was glad they were safe. But she was also mad. She said, "Why did you touch the oven? I told you not to. You broke your promise. You could have died. You are in big trouble."
+
+Tim and Jen cried. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were hungry. We wanted cake. We did not mean to make a fire. Please forgive us."
+
+Mom said, "I love you, but you were very naughty. You have to learn to listen. You have to learn to be patient. You have to learn to be careful. You will not have cake for a long time. You will have to help me clean the kitchen. You will have to pay for the damage. You will have to say sorry to the firemen. You will have to be good."
+
+Tim and Jen nodded. They felt bad. They wished they had waited for Mom. They wished they had kept their promise. They wished they had not touched the oven. They learned a hard lesson. They hoped Mom would still love them. They hoped the firemen would not be mad. They hoped the cake would not be slow again.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they found a big box. They wanted to make a house with the box.
+
+"Let's cut a door and a window," Tom said. He had scissors in his backpack.
+
+"OK," Lily said. She helped Tom cut the box. They made a door and a window. They also cut some paper flowers and stuck them on the box.
+
+"Now we have a house," Tom said. "Do you want to be my wife?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked Tom. They went inside the box. They pretended to have a marriage.
+
+"I love you," Tom said.
+
+"I love you too," Lily said.
+
+They hugged and kissed. They were happy.
+
+But then, they heard a loud voice. It was Lily's mom. She came to pick up Lily.
+
+"Lily, it's time to go home," she said. "Say goodbye to Tom."
+
+Lily and Tom were sad. They did not want to leave their house.
+
+"Can we play again tomorrow?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure," Tom said. "I'll wait for you here."
+
+They hugged and kissed again. They said goodbye.
+
+Lily went with her mom. Tom stayed in the box. He was tired. He lay down and closed his eyes. He dreamed of Lily and their marriage.
+Anna and Ben like to play with their toy bow and arrow. They pretend to be brave hunters in the forest. One day, they find a big wooden chest in the corner of the garden. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Maybe it has treasure!" Ben says.
+
+"Or candy!" Anna says.
+
+They try to open the chest, but it is locked. They look for a key, but they cannot find one. They are sad.
+
+"Wait, I have an idea!" Ben says. He picks up his toy arrow and points it at the lock. "Maybe this can unlock it!"
+
+He shoots the arrow at the lock. It makes a loud noise, but nothing happens. The chest is still locked.
+
+"Oops, that did not work," Ben says.
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She has another idea. She runs to the kitchen and comes back with a banana. She peels the banana and eats half of it. She gives the other half to Ben.
+
+"Here, eat this," she says. "It is healthy and yummy. It will make us strong and smart. Maybe then we can unlock the chest."
+
+Ben eats the banana. He likes it. He feels healthy and happy.
+
+"Thank you, Anna," he says. "You are very clever. Maybe you are right. Maybe we can unlock the chest now."
+
+They try to open the chest again. They pull and push and twist and turn. They use all their strength and smarts. And then, something amazing happens. The chest opens!
+
+They look inside. They see a lot of shiny things. They see coins and jewels and crowns and rings. They see treasure!
+
+"Wow!" Anna and Ben say. "We did it! We unlocked the chest! We found treasure!"
+
+They are very happy. They hug each other and laugh. They play with the treasure and pretend to be kings and queens. They have a lot of fun.
+
+They are glad they ate the banana. They are glad they used their toy arrow. They are glad they are healthy and smart. They are glad they are friends. They are glad they found the chest.
+Lily and Ben are playful kids. They like to run and jump and laugh. One day, they find a big pack of gum in mom's purse. They want to chew the gum, but they know mom will be mad. So they hide the gum under the bed and sneak some when mom is not looking.
+
+The gum is sweet and sticky. Lily and Ben blow big bubbles and pop them. They have fun with the gum, but they forget to throw it away. They leave the gum on the floor, on the bed, on the wall, and on the door. The gum makes a big mess.
+
+Mom comes home and sees the gum everywhere. She is very angry. She yells at Lily and Ben and makes them clean up the gum. She says they are naughty and can't have gum anymore. She takes away their toys and sends them to bed early. Lily and Ben are sad and sorry. They wish they had not taken the gum. They wish they had listened to mom. They learn a hard lesson. The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Ben was a jolly lion and Lily was a happy bird.
+
+"Roar!" Ben said, as he jumped on the couch. "I am the king of the jungle!"
+
+"Tweet!" Lily said, as she flew around the room. "I am the queen of the sky!"
+
+They laughed and played until their mom came in. She smiled and said, "You two are very noisy, but very cute. It's time for a snack. Come to the kitchen in a minute, okay?"
+
+"Okay, mom!" Ben and Lily said. They put their toys away and ran to the kitchen. They were hungry and excited to see what mom had made for them.
+
+Mom had made them some sandwiches and juice. She cut the sandwiches into shapes of animals. Ben got a lion sandwich and Lily got a bird sandwich. They thanked mom and ate their snacks. They were very jolly and very full. They hugged mom and said, "We love you, mom!"
+
+"I love you too, my jolly lion and my happy bird!" mom said. She kissed them and said, "Now, let's go to the park and play some more!"
+Lily liked to whistle. She whistled when she played, when she ate, and when she slept. She whistled songs, sounds, and names. She whistled all the time.
+
+One day, she saw a plane in the sky. It was big and white and shiny. It made a loud noise as it flew. Lily wanted to whistle like the plane. She opened her mouth and tried to make the same noise. But she could not. She only made a soft and funny sound.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, why can't I whistle like the plane?"
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Lily, you can't whistle like the plane because you are not a plane. You are a charming girl. And you have a charming whistle. The plane can't whistle like you. It can only make a loud noise. But you can whistle many things. You can whistle happy and sad, loud and quiet, fast and slow. You can whistle anything you want. And I love your whistle. It is the best whistle in the world."
+
+Lily felt happy. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my whistle. It is my special whistle. And I will whistle for you." She gave her mom a kiss and whistled a sweet song. Her mom whistled back. They whistled together and laughed. They watched the plane fly away. They did not want to whistle like the plane. They wanted to whistle like themselves.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They were very enthusiastic and happy.
+
+But then, Tom tripped on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and it started to bleed. He cried out loud and Lily ran to him.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. She was worried about her friend.
+
+"It hurts, it hurts!" Tom said. He held his knee and sobbed.
+
+Lily looked around and saw a bench nearby. She helped Tom to get up and walk to the bench. She saw a lady sitting on the bench with a bag.
+
+"Excuse me, can you help us?" Lily asked the lady. "My friend has a boo-boo on his knee and he suffers a lot."
+
+The lady was kind and smiled. She opened her bag and took out a bandage and a bottle of water. She cleaned Tom's knee with the water and wrapped the bandage around it.
+
+"There, that should feel better," the lady said. "You are very brave, Tom."
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Tom said. He felt less pain and more calm.
+
+"And you are very smart, Lily," the lady said. "You did the right thing to ask for help."
+
+"Thank you, too," Lily said. She was glad that the lady was nice and helpful.
+
+The lady gave them both a candy and a hug. Then she said goodbye and left.
+
+Tom and Lily thanked her again and waved to her. They decided to go back home and rest. They were still enthusiastic and happy, but they also learned to be careful and kind.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom has a toy car and Lily has a toy horse.
+
+"Look, Lily, my car can go fast!" Tom says, zooming his car on the floor.
+
+"Wow, Tom, your car is cool!" Lily says, admiring his car. "Can I try it?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can try it. But be careful, it is fragile." Tom says, handing her his car.
+
+Lily takes the car and makes it go fast too. She likes how it feels in her hand. But then, she bumps it into the table and the car breaks. The wheel falls off and the car stops moving.
+
+"Oh no, Tom, I'm sorry, I broke your car!" Lily says, feeling sad and scared.
+
+Tom looks at his car and sees the wheel on the floor. He feels angry and sad too. He loves his car and now it is broken.
+
+"Lily, why did you break my car? You are so clumsy!" Tom says, raising his voice.
+
+"I didn't mean to, Tom, it was an accident!" Lily says, crying.
+
+They both start to cry and shout at each other. They are not friends anymore.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees the broken car, the wheel and the tears. She feels sorry for them and wants to help.
+
+"What happened, Tom and Lily? Why are you crying and shouting?" Mom asks, sitting down with them.
+
+"Tom and Lily both try to explain, but they are confused and upset. They talk at the same time and Mom can't understand them.
+
+"Shh, shh, calm down, both of you. Let me see the car." Mom says, taking the car and the wheel.
+
+She looks at the car and sees that it is not too bad. She has an idea.
+
+"Wait here, I'll be right back." Mom says, going to the kitchen.
+
+She comes back with a bottle of glue and a smile.
+
+"Look, Tom and Lily, I have glue. Glue can fix things that are broken. Do you want to help me fix the car?" Mom asks, showing them the glue.
+
+Tom and Lily stop crying and look at the glue. They are curious and hopeful.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we want to help!" They say, nodding.
+
+Mom squeezes some glue on the car and the wheel. She gives them to Tom and Lily.
+
+"Here, Tom, you hold the car. And Lily, you hold the wheel. Now, press them together gently and wait for a few seconds." Mom says, guiding them.
+
+Tom and Lily do as Mom says. They press the car and the wheel together and wait. They are careful and quiet.
+
+"Good job, Tom and Lily! Now, let go and see what happens." Mom says, clapping her hands.
+
+Tom and Lily let go and see that the car is fixed. The wheel is back on and the car can move again.
+
+"Wow, Mom, you fixed the car! Thank you, Mom!" Tom says, smiling.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, you are so smart!" Lily says, smiling too.
+
+They hug Mom and thank her again. They are happy and proud.
+
+"Mom, can I play with the car again?" Lily asks, looking at Tom.
+
+"Only if Tom says yes, Lily. It is his car, after all." Mom says, looking at Tom.
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers how Lily broke his car, but he also remembers how they fixed it together. He feels sorry for being angry and shouting at her.
+
+"Okay, Lily, you can play with the car again. But be careful, okay?" Tom says, giving her the car.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, you are so kind!" Lily says, taking the car.
+
+They play with the car and the horse again. They make noises and pretend to be animals. They are friends again.
+
+Mom watches them and smiles. She is glad that they learned how to fix things and how to speak nicely to each other. She is proud of them.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen with Mom. Mom is making muffins for breakfast. She lets Sara and Ben help her.
+
+"Can I weigh the flour, Mom?" Sara asks. She likes to use the scale.
+
+"Sure, Sara. Here you go. You need two cups of flour. Can you count with me?" Mom says.
+
+Sara nods and puts the flour on the scale. "One, two!" she says.
+
+"Good job, Sara. Now we need some eggs and milk and sugar and butter," Mom says.
+
+Ben wants to help too. He sees the eggs on the counter. He reaches for one. But he is too small. He tips over the bowl. The eggs fall on the floor. "Uh-oh!" Ben says.
+
+Mom sees the mess. She is not angry. She smiles. "It's okay, Ben. Accidents happen. Let's clean it up together," she says.
+
+She gives Ben a paper towel. They wipe the floor. Then Mom gets some more eggs. She cracks them in a bowl. She lets Ben stir them with a fork. "Can I pour them in the muffin tin, Mom?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, Ben. But be careful. Don't spill them," Mom says.
+
+Ben nods and pours the eggs in the muffin tin. He is very careful. He does not spill them. "I did it, Mom!" he says.
+
+"Good job, Ben. Now we can put the muffin tin in the oven. But don't touch the oven. It's very hot," Mom says.
+
+She puts the muffin tin in the oven. She sets the timer. "How long do we have to wait, Mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"About 20 minutes, Sara. Then we can eat the muffins. They will be warm and yummy," Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben are excited. They can smell the muffins. They are hungry. They wait for the timer to beep.
+
+When the timer beeps, Mom takes out the muffin tin. She puts it on a rack. She gives Sara and Ben each a plate and a napkin. She takes out a muffin for each of them. "Be careful, they are still hot. Blow on them first," she says.
+
+Sara and Ben blow on their muffins. They take a bite. They smile. The muffins are delicious. They are soft and sweet and moist.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. These are the best muffins ever," Sara says.
+
+"Yes, thank you, Mom. We love you," Ben says.
+
+Mom hugs them. She is happy. She loves them too. "You're welcome, Sara and Ben. I love you too. You are the best helpers ever," she says.
+
+They eat their muffins. They are happy. They are a family.
+One day, a jolly crab was looking for a new shell to live in. He saw many shells on the sand, but they were too big or too small or too broken. He was sad and tired of searching.
+
+Then he saw a shiny shell near the water. It was pink and green and had a spiral shape. The crab liked it very much. He ran to the shell and tried to enter it. It was just the right size for him. He was happy and snug in his new home.
+
+But he did not know that the shell was not empty. It belonged to a snail who was sleeping inside. The snail woke up and felt something tickling his tail. He was surprised and angry. He pushed the crab out of his shell and said, "This is my shell, not yours! Go away!"
+
+The crab was scared and sorry. He did not mean to take the snail's shell. He apologized and ran away. He felt sad and lonely again.
+
+He kept looking for another shell, but he could not find one. He wished he had a friend to help him. Then he saw another crab who was also looking for a shell. The other crab was friendly and smiled at him. He said, "Hello, I am Bob. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The jolly crab was glad and said, "Yes, I do. I am Sam. Maybe we can find a shell together."
+
+Bob and Sam became friends and searched for a shell. They found one that was big enough for both of them. They entered the shell and shared it happily. They were jolly crabs in a jolly shell.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, Tom has a new gum. It is pink and sweet. He shows it to Lily.
+
+"Can I have some gum too?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, this is my gum. You cannot have it," Tom says. He is not nice.
+
+Lily is sad. She wants to have some gum too. She sees a big rock. She has an idea.
+
+"Look, Tom, a big rock! Let's throw it and see what happens," Lily says.
+
+Tom likes to throw things. He forgets his gum. He puts it on the ground. He picks up the rock.
+
+"OK, let's throw it," Tom says.
+
+They throw the rock together. It flies in the air. It lands on the ground. It makes a loud noise.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" Lily says.
+
+They run to see the rock. But they do not see the rock. They see something else.
+
+They see Tom's gum. It is not pink and sweet anymore. It is smashed and dirty. The rock hit the gum. The gum was fragile. It broke.
+
+"Oh no, my gum!" Tom cries.
+
+He is sad. He wants his gum back. But he cannot have it back. It is gone.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily says.
+
+She is sorry. She did not mean to break his gum. She was angry. She wanted to have some gum too.
+
+Tom looks at Lily. He sees her sorry face. He remembers his not nice words. He feels bad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom says.
+
+He is sorry. He was not nice to her. He did not share his gum. He was selfish.
+
+They hug each other. They are friends again.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn to share. They learn to be nice. They learn that gum is fragile.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their dolls and cars in the living room. They decided to have a tea party with their toys. Anna brought a tray with cups, spoons and a teapot. Ben brought some cookies and a napkin.
+
+"Here you go, Mr. Bear. Some tea for you," Anna said, pouring some water from the teapot into a cup. "And you, Mrs. Rabbit. Do you want some sugar?"
+
+"Yes, please," Ben said, pretending to be Mrs. Rabbit. He took a spoon and scooped some sugar from a bowl. He was about to put it in his cup, when he saw a fly buzzing around his nose. He tried to shoo it away, but he was clumsy and knocked over the sugar bowl. The sugar spilled all over the tray, the cups and the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna cried. "Look what you did, Ben! You made a big mess!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "It was an accident. I didn't mean to."
+
+Anna was angry. She picked up the tray and walked away. "You can't play with me anymore. You're too clumsy. Go away!"
+
+Ben felt sad. He wanted to play with Anna, but he also wanted to say sorry. He looked around and saw a broom and a dustpan in the corner. He had an idea. He took the broom and the dustpan and started to sweep the sugar from the floor. He worked hard until the floor was clean. Then he put the broom and the dustpan back in the corner.
+
+He walked over to Anna, who was sitting on the couch with her dolls. He held out his hand and said, "Anna, I'm sorry I spilled the sugar. I cleaned it up. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Anna looked at Ben and saw that he was sincere. She smiled and took his hand. "I'm sorry I was mad at you, Ben. You're a good friend. Thank you for cleaning up. Can we play again?"
+
+"Yes, we can," Ben said. "But let's not have tea this time. Let's have juice instead."
+
+They hugged and went back to their toys. They learned that accidents happen, but they can be fixed. They also learned that saying sorry and forgiving are important for friendship.
+Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for their mom. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter. They put everything in the bowl and started to stir with a big spoon.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" Tom said. "We have to make the cake smooth and yummy!"
+
+Lily nodded and helped him stir. She liked to stir. It was fun and messy. She saw some chocolate chips on the shelf and had an idea.
+
+"Let's put some chocolate chips in the cake!" she said. "Mom loves chocolate!"
+
+Tom agreed and they poured some chocolate chips in the bowl. They stirred some more and then poured the batter in a pan. They put the pan in the oven and waited.
+
+While they waited, they decided to build a tower with their blocks. They stacked the blocks as high as they could, making different shapes and colors.
+
+"Look at our tower!" Lily said. "It's so tall and pretty!"
+
+Tom smiled and added one more block on top. He was proud of their tower. He thought they were very wise to make such a good tower.
+
+Suddenly, they smelled something burning. They ran to the kitchen and saw smoke coming out of the oven. They opened the oven and saw their cake. It was black and hard and smelled bad.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom said. "We forgot to set the timer! Our cake is ruined!"
+
+Lily started to cry. She was sad and sorry. She wanted to make a nice cake for their mom.
+
+"Don't cry, Lily," Tom said. "We can make another cake. We still have some eggs and flour and sugar and butter. And chocolate chips!"
+
+He hugged his sister and wiped her tears. He took the burnt cake out of the oven and threw it in the trash. He got a new bowl and a new spoon and started to stir again.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" he said. "We can do it, Lily! We are wise and brave and kind!"
+
+Lily smiled and helped him stir. She felt better and hopeful. She loved her brother and her mom. She hoped they would like their new cake.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside with their dog, Rex. Rex is big and brown and likes to run and bark. One day, Tim and Sam find a steak in the fridge. They think Rex would like it, so they take it outside.
+
+But the steak is cold and hard. Rex sniffs it and does not want to eat it. Tim and Sam try to make it warm and soft. They put it in the sun, but it does not grow warm. They rub it with their hands, but it does not grow soft. They are sad and confused.
+
+Then, they see their mom coming out of the house. She looks angry and surprised. She asks them why they took the steak. She tells them it was for dinner and it was frozen. She says they have to put it back in the fridge or it will go bad. She says they have to wash their hands and say sorry.
+
+Tim and Sam feel bad. They did not know the steak was frozen. They did not know it was for dinner. They did not mean to make their mom angry. They say sorry and give the steak back to their mom. They wash their hands and hug their mom. They say they love her and they love Rex. Rex wags his tail and licks their faces. They are happy again.
+Sam is a farmer. He has a big bull. The bull is strong and helps Sam work. The bull pulls a cart with hay and water for the cows and sheep. Sam likes the bull and gives him apples and carrots.
+
+One day, Sam is busy. He has to fix the fence and milk the cows. He tells the bull to stay in the barn and not go out. The bull nods and says moo. Sam goes to work.
+
+But the bull is bored. He sees a red cloth on the ground. He thinks it is a game. He runs out of the barn and chases the cloth. He does not see the flowers and the vegetables that Sam planted. He steps on them and makes a mess.
+
+Sam hears the noise and comes back. He sees the bull and the cloth. He sees the flowers and the vegetables. He is angry. He shouts at the bull and tells him to go back to the barn. The bull is sad and scared. He says sorry and goes back to the barn.
+
+Sam is still angry, but he is also sorry. He knows the bull did not mean to be bad. He goes to the barn and gives the bull a hug. He tells him he is not mad anymore, but he has to be careful and listen. The bull is happy and says thank you. He feels guilty and wants to help Sam work. He promises to be good and not chase red cloths. Sam smiles and gives him an apple and a carrot. They are friends again.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with boats. They had many toy boats, but they wanted a real boat. One day, they saw a sign that said "Cheap boat for sale at the port". They ran to the port and found a big boat with a red flag.
+
+"Wow, look at this boat!" Tim said. "It is so big and nice. I want to own it."
+
+"Me too," Sam said. "But how can we buy it? We have no money."
+
+They saw a man near the boat. He looked old and tired. He said, "Hello, boys. Do you like this boat?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Tim and Sam said. "But we have no money. How much is it?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "This boat is very cheap. You can have it for free, if you promise me one thing."
+
+"What is it?" Tim and Sam asked.
+
+The man said, "You have to take good care of this boat. You have to clean it, fix it, and sail it often. It is not easy to own a boat. It needs a lot of work and love. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. They were so happy. They said, "Yes, we understand. We will take good care of this boat. Thank you, sir."
+
+The man gave them the keys and said, "You're welcome, boys. This boat was my son's. He loved it very much, but he died in a war. I hope you will love it too. Goodbye."
+
+Tim and Sam hugged the man and thanked him again. They climbed on the boat and started to explore it. They felt like they were in a dream.
+
+But soon, they realized that the boat was not as nice as it looked. It was old and dirty. It had holes and cracks. It made strange noises. It smelled bad. It was hard to steer and sail.
+
+Tim and Sam felt sad and scared. They said, "This boat is not fun. It is cheap, but it is also bad. We don't want to own it. We want to go back to our toy boats."
+
+They tried to find the man, but he was gone. They were stuck with the boat. They learned a lesson: cheap things are not always good, and owning things is not always easy. They wished they had been more careful and grateful.
+Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small car. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Sam. He has a big bike and a loud horn. He does not share his bike or his horn. He rides his bike fast and honks his horn loud. He makes Mia and Ben scared and sad.
+
+Mia and Ben run to their mom. They tell her what Sam did. Mom says, "Sam is not nice. He does not know how to play with others. Maybe he needs a friend. Do you want to try to be his friend?"
+
+Mia and Ben think. They want to be kind and generous. They say, "Okay, mom. We will try to be his friend. But how?"
+
+Mom says, "You can prepare a gift for him. Something that he might like. Something that shows you are friendly. Maybe a drawing or a sticker or a cookie. Then you can give it to him and say hello. Maybe he will smile and say hello back. Maybe he will share his bike and his horn. Maybe he will play with you and have fun. Maybe he will learn to be nice. Maybe you will have peace in the park."
+
+Mia and Ben like mom's idea. They go home and prepare a gift for Sam. They draw a picture of a bike and a horn. They put a sticker of a smiley face on it. They also bake a cookie and wrap it in a napkin. They put their gift in a bag and go back to the park.
+
+They see Sam riding his bike and honking his horn. They walk up to him and say, "Hi, Sam. We are Mia and Ben. We are your neighbors. We want to be your friend. We made a gift for you. Here you go."
+
+Sam stops his bike and looks at them. He is surprised. He takes the bag and opens it. He sees the picture and the cookie. He smiles and says, "Wow, thank you. This is very nice of you. I like your picture and your cookie. Do you want to ride my bike and honk my horn?"
+
+Mia and Ben smile and say, "Yes, please. That would be fun. Thank you for sharing. Can we share our ball and our car with you?"
+
+Sam says, "Yes, of course. That would be nice. I'm sorry for being mean before. I was lonely and bored. I'm happy to have friends now. Can we play together?"
+
+Mia and Ben say, "Yes, we can. We are happy to have you as a friend. Let's play and have fun."
+
+They all play together and have fun. They share their toys and their laughs. They are kind and generous. They have peace in the park. Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of Mia and Ben. She is glad they made a new friend. She hopes they will always be friends.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to build things. They used blocks, sticks, stones, and anything they could find. They made houses, cars, castles, and rockets. They had fun and shared their toys.
+
+One day, a new boy came to their street. His name was Sam. He had unusual eyes. One was blue and one was brown. He also had a big scar on his arm. He looked different from Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben saw Sam walking with his mom. They wanted to say hello, but they felt shy. They thought Sam might not like them. They thought he might not want to play with them. They hid behind their blocks and watched him.
+
+Sam saw Lily and Ben's blocks. He liked to build things too. He wanted to join them, but he felt shy. He thought Lily and Ben might not like him. He thought they might not want to play with him. He smiled and waved at them.
+
+Lily and Ben saw Sam's smile and wave. They felt happy. They realized Sam was friendly. They realized he wanted to play with them. They smiled and waved back. They invited him to their block pile. They said, "Welcome, Sam. Do you want to build with us?"
+
+Sam felt happy. He said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Lily and Ben. Do you want to see my scar? It's from a dog bite. It doesn't hurt anymore."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, please. We want to see your scar. It's cool. We like your eyes too. They're unusual. They're beautiful."
+
+Sam, Lily, and Ben became friends. They built things together. They had fun and shared their toys. They learned to like each other's differences. They learned to be kind and welcoming.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to jump on the big trampoline. They would spring up and down, and laugh and shout.
+
+"Look at me, Lily! I can spring very high!" Ben said.
+
+"You are good, Ben. But I can spring higher!" Lily said.
+
+They tried to spring higher and higher, until they saw smoke and smelled something yummy.
+
+"Mommy is making food on the grill!" Ben said. "Let's go see!"
+
+They ran to the porch, where Mommy was grilling hot dogs and burgers. She smiled and said, "Hello, my springy kids! Are you hungry?"
+
+"Yes, Mommy! We want hot dogs and burgers!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+"Okay, but first you have to wash your hands. And be careful, the grill is very hot. Don't touch it!" Mommy said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and went to wash their hands. But when they came back, they saw a big black dog on the porch. The dog had jumped on the grill and was eating the hot dogs and burgers.
+
+"Hey, stop it! That's our food!" Ben yelled.
+
+"Bad dog! Go away!" Lily cried.
+
+The dog looked at them and growled. He was a spoiled dog. He did not want to share. He wanted all the food for himself.
+
+Mommy heard the noise and came out. She saw the dog and the grill. She was angry and scared.
+
+"Shoo, shoo! Get off my grill, you naughty dog!" Mommy shouted. She grabbed a broom and waved it at the dog.
+
+The dog was afraid of the broom. He dropped the food and ran away. He did not want to get hit.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged Mommy. They were sad and hungry.
+
+"I'm sorry, my springy kids. The dog spoiled our food. We have to make something else," Mommy said.
+
+"It's okay, Mommy. We love you. Can we have pizza?" Lily and Ben asked.
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Sure, we can have pizza. But next time, we have to watch the grill. And keep the spoiled dog away."
+
+They went inside and ordered pizza. They ate and talked and laughed. They forgot about the dog and the grill. They were happy.
+Lily loved to spin in her pink dress. She felt like a fairy when she spun. She spun and spun until she was dizzy and fell on the grass. She laughed and looked at the sky. She saw a big white cloud.
+
+"Hello, cloud!" she said. "Do you want to spin with me?"
+
+The cloud did not answer. It moved slowly in the wind. Lily felt a drop of water on her nose. She looked up and saw more drops falling from the cloud.
+
+"Oh, no!" she said. "The cloud is crying! Why are you sad, cloud?"
+
+The cloud did not answer. It rained harder and harder. Lily got wet and cold. She ran to her house. She saw her mom at the door.
+
+"Mommy, mommy!" she said. "The cloud is crying and it made me cold!"
+
+Her mom hugged her and took her inside. She gave her a towel and a cup of hot cocoa.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily," she said. "The cloud is not crying. It is just raining. Rain is good for the flowers and the trees. And for the fairies, too. They like to dance in the rain."
+
+"Really?" Lily asked. "Can I see them?"
+
+Her mom smiled and pointed to the window. Lily looked and saw a rainbow in the sky. She saw tiny sparkles on the raindrops. She imagined they were fairies.
+
+"Wow!" she said. "They are so pretty! Can I spin with them?"
+
+Her mom nodded and kissed her cheek.
+
+"Maybe later, when the rain stops," she said. "But first, you need to drink your cocoa and get warm. And then you can spin as much as you want."
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says "Toy Sale". They want to go to the toy sale.
+
+They ask their moms. Their moms say yes. They give them some money. They say "Be careful and have fun". Lila and Ben are happy. They say "Thank you" and "Bye".

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big slide. Lily wants to go first. She climbs up the steps and sits on the slide.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" she says and slides down fast. She laughs and feels happy.
+
+Ben waits for his turn. He climbs up the steps and sits on the slide. He looks at the sky. It is clear and blue. He sees a bird flying.
+
+"Look, a bird!" he says and points. He slides down slowly. He smiles and feels calm.
+
+Lily and Ben run to the slide again. They want to slide more. They see a sign. It says "Score". It has numbers and pictures.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asks.
+
+"It is a game," Ben says. "You slide and get points. The more points, the better. The pictures show what you get."
+
+Lily and Ben look at the pictures. They see a star, a candy, a toy, and a medal.
+
+"I want the candy!" Lily says.
+
+"I want the medal!" Ben says.
+
+They decide to play the game. They take turns to slide and see their score. They have fun and try to get the best score. They slide and slide until they are tired. They are happy with their prizes. They share the candy and the medal. They hug and say goodbye.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll and Ben had a truck. They were having fun until Ben saw Anna's doll and wanted it.
+
+"Give me your doll!" Ben said. "It is mine now!"
+
+"No, it is not!" Anna said. "It is mine! You have your truck!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He grabbed the doll and ran away. Anna was very sad and angry. She cried and followed Ben.
+
+Ben ran to his room and locked the door. He put the doll on his bed and smiled. He thought he had won. But then he saw that the doll was broken. One of its arms was loose and its dress was torn. Ben felt bad. He did not mean to break the doll. He liked the doll, but he liked Anna more.
+
+He knocked on the door and called Anna. "Anna, I am sorry. I have your doll. It is broken. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Anna heard Ben and opened the door. She saw the doll and gasped. She was very sad and angry. She snatched the doll and said, "You are mean! You broke my doll! It is mine! Go away!"
+
+Ben felt worse. He wanted to make Anna happy. He had an idea. He ran to his closet and found his glue and scissors. He came back to Anna and said, "Anna, please let me help you. I can restore your doll. I can fix its arm and its dress. Please let me try."
+
+Anna looked at Ben and saw that he was sorry. She felt a little better. She said, "Okay, you can try. But be careful. It is my doll."
+
+Ben nodded and took the doll. He used the glue and the scissors to restore the doll. He fixed its arm and its dress. He gave the doll back to Anna and said, "Here, it is done. I hope you like it. I am sorry for taking it. It is yours."
+
+Anna took the doll and smiled. She saw that the doll was restored. It looked like new. She hugged the doll and said, "Thank you, Ben. You did a good job. I like it. I forgive you. You are my brother."
+
+Ben smiled too. He hugged Anna and said, "You are welcome, Anna. You are my sister. I love you."
+
+They hugged and played with their toys. They were happy. The living room was not gloomy anymore. It was bright and warm.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a big doll with a pink dress and a zipper on the back. Ben had a small car with four wheels and a horn. They were having fun, but they also wanted to try each other's toys.
+
+"Can I play with your car, Ben?" Anna asked.
+
+"OK, but only for a little while. And you have to be careful with it. It's my favorite car," Ben said.
+
+"Can I play with your doll, Anna?" Ben asked.
+
+"OK, but only for a little while. And you have to be gentle with her. She's my best friend," Anna said.
+
+They swapped their toys and started to play. Anna liked the car, but she didn't know how to make it go. She tried to pull it, but it didn't move. She tried to twist it, but it didn't turn. She tried to shake it, but it didn't make any noise. She was confused.
+
+"How do you play with this car, Ben?" Anna asked.
+
+"You have to push it, Anna. Like this," Ben said, and showed her how to push the car on the floor.
+
+"Oh, I see. Thank you, Ben," Anna said, and pushed the car. It zoomed across the room. She smiled.
+
+Ben liked the doll, but he didn't know how to dress her. He tried to pull the zipper, but it was stuck. He tried to tug it, but it didn't budge. He tried to bite it, but it didn't open. He was confused.
+
+"How do you dress this doll, Anna?" Ben asked.
+
+"You have to unzip it, Ben. Like this," Anna said, and showed him how to unzip the zipper on the back of the dress.
+
+"Oh, I see. Thank you, Anna," Ben said, and unzipped the zipper. He took off the dress and put it back on. He smiled.
+
+They played with each other's toys for a while, and then they decided to swap them back. They thanked each other for sharing and for helping. They learned that different toys have different ways of playing, and that it's good to ask for help when you don't know something. They also learned that sharing is caring, and that playing together is more fun than playing alone. They hugged and continued to play. They were happy.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a teddy bear. She liked to make them talk to each other and have fun.
+
+One day, she decided to play a game of hide and seek with her toys. She said, "I will count to ten and you will hide. Then I will find you. Ready? One, two, three..."
+
+She closed her eyes and counted slowly. Her toys ran to find a good hiding place. The doll hid under the bed, the ball hid behind the curtain, the car hid in the closet and the teddy bear hid behind the armchair.
+
+Lily opened her eyes and said, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looked around the room and tried to find her toys. She saw the doll's feet sticking out from under the bed and said, "I found you, doll!" She pulled her out and gave her a hug.
+
+She looked behind the curtain and saw the ball's round shape. She said, "I found you, ball!" She grabbed it and bounced it.
+
+She opened the closet and saw the car's shiny wheels. She said, "I found you, car!" She pushed it and made it zoom.
+
+She looked behind the armchair and saw nothing. She said, "Where is teddy bear? He is very good at hiding." She crawled behind the armchair and saw a wide gap between the wall and the chair. She crawled into the gap and saw teddy bear's fuzzy face. She said, "I found you, teddy bear!" She hugged him and said, "You are the best hider!"
+
+She crawled out of the gap and said, "That was a fun game. Let's play again!" Her toys agreed and they all laughed.
+Lily was a brave girl who liked to examine things. She had a big book of animals that she looked at every day. She wanted to see the animals for real, not just in the book.
+
+One day, she asked her mom if they could go to the zoo. Her mom said yes, but they had to wait for a year. A year was a long time for Lily. She was sad and angry. She wanted to go now.
+
+"Why do we have to wait for a year, mom?" she asked.
+
+"Because the zoo is very far away, Lily. We have to save money and plan the trip. It will be a special treat for your birthday next year," her mom explained.
+
+"But I don't want to wait. I want to see the animals now. I want to examine them and learn their names and sounds. Please, mom, please," Lily begged.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, but we can't go now. You have to be patient and brave. Maybe we can find some other ways to learn about the animals until then. How about we watch some videos or play some games or make some drawings?" her mom suggested.
+
+Lily thought about it. She still wanted to go to the zoo, but she knew her mom was trying to help. She decided to try some of the other ways to learn about the animals. She hoped the year would go by fast. She dreamed of the day when she could finally examine the animals for real. She knew she would be very happy then.
+One day, a little fox wanted to drink some water. He was very thirsty and he saw a stream near his home. He ran to the stream and saw many fish swimming in the water. He thought, "I can catch some fish and eat them. That will make me full and happy."
+
+He jumped into the stream and tried to catch the fish with his mouth. But the fish were too fast and too smart. They swam away from the fox and hid under the rocks. The fox got wet and cold and angry. He said, "This is not fair. The fish are mine. I need them more than they need the water."
+
+He decided to gather all the rocks he could find and block the stream. He thought, "If I block the stream, the water will stop flowing and the fish will have nowhere to go. Then I can catch them all and eat them." He worked hard and gathered many rocks. He piled them up in the stream and made a dam.
+
+But he did not know that the stream was very important for many other animals. The stream gave water to the birds, the rabbits, the deer, and the bears. They all drank from the stream and lived in harmony. When the fox blocked the stream, the water stopped flowing and the animals became thirsty and sad. They said, "What happened to our stream? Who did this to us? We need the water to live and be healthy."
+
+They followed the stream and found the fox and his dam. They saw the fish trapped in the water and the fox smiling. They said, "You are the one who blocked the stream. You are selfish and greedy. You only care about yourself and not about others. You took away our water and our fish. You are not a good friend. You are a bad fox."
+
+The fox was scared and ashamed. He saw the angry faces of the animals and heard their words. He realized that he had done a wrong thing. He said, "I am sorry. I was thirsty and hungry and I wanted the fish. I did not think about you and how you need the water too. I was foolish and mean. Please forgive me."
+
+He removed the rocks and let the water flow again. He freed the fish and let them swim away. He said, "I will not block the stream again. I will share the water and the fish with you. I will be a good friend and a good fox."
+
+The animals were happy and relieved. They saw that the fox was sincere and sorry. They said, "Thank you for fixing your mistake. We forgive you and we welcome you. You can drink from the stream and catch some fish, but not too many. You can be a good friend and a good fox."
+
+The fox was grateful and happy. He learned a lesson. He learned that the water and the fish are not only for him, but for everyone. He learned that he should not be selfish and greedy, but generous and kind. He learned that he should not gather what he does not need, but share what is available. He learned that he should not block the stream, but let it flow.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Max had a car. They were having fun, but they wanted a snack.
+
+"Mom, can we have some cocoa?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. I'll make some for you. Just wait a minute," Mom said.
+
+Mom went to the kitchen and boiled some water. She added some cocoa powder and sugar and stirred it well. She poured the cocoa into two mugs and brought them to the living room.
+
+"Here you go, kids. Be careful, it's hot," Mom said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Max said.
+
+They took their mugs and sipped their cocoa. It was sweet and warm and made them happy.
+
+"Mom, can you play with us?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sorry, honey. I have to do some work on the computer. Maybe later," Mom said.
+
+She went to the desk and opened her laptop. She started to type and click.
+
+Lily and Max looked at Mom. They wanted her to play with them. They felt sad.
+
+"Mom, look at my doll. She can sing and dance," Lily said.
+
+"Mom, look at my car. It can go fast and make noises," Max said.
+
+But Mom did not look at them. She did not hear them. She ignored them.
+
+Lily and Max felt angry. They put down their mugs and toys. They walked to the desk and stood in front of Mom.
+
+"Mom, look at us. We want to play with you," Lily and Max said.
+
+But Mom did not look at them. She did not hear them. She ignored them.
+
+Lily and Max felt hurt. They grabbed Mom's laptop and threw it on the floor. It made a loud crash and broke into pieces.
+
+Mom looked at them. She heard them. She did not ignore them.
+
+She was shocked and mad. She yelled at them.
+
+"What did you do? How could you do that? That was my work. That was important. You are very naughty. Go to your room. Now!"
+
+Lily and Max cried. They ran to their room. They did not want to talk to Mom. They did not want to drink their cocoa. They did not want to play with their toys.
+
+They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They wished Mom would say she was sorry too. They wished Mom would play with them. They wished Mom would not ignore them.
+Lily loves to bake with daddy. They make cookies and cakes and pies. Lily likes to put colorful sprinkles on top. She thinks they look pretty and yummy.
+
+One day, daddy says, "Lily, do you want to bake a rainbow cake with me?" Lily claps her hands and says, "Yes, yes, yes! I love rainbow cake!" Daddy smiles and says, "Me too. Let's go to the kitchen and get the ingredients."
+
+They go to the kitchen and find a big bowl, a mixer, some eggs, some milk, some butter, some sugar, some flour, and some food coloring. Daddy says, "Lily, can you help me crack the eggs?" Lily nods and tries to crack the eggs. She makes a mess, but daddy doesn't mind. He says, "That's okay, Lily. Baking is fun and messy. We can clean up later."
+
+They mix the eggs, the milk, the butter, and the sugar in the bowl. Then they add the flour and mix some more. Daddy says, "Now we have to divide the batter into six parts and add different colors to each part. Can you help me choose the colors, Lily?" Lily says, "Yes, daddy. I want red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They are the colors of the rainbow." Daddy says, "Good choice, Lily. You are very smart."
+
+They add the food coloring to the batter and stir well. Then they pour each color into a different cake pan. Daddy says, "Now we have to bake the cakes in the oven. Can you help me put them in, Lily?" Lily says, "Yes, daddy. But be careful, the oven is hot." Daddy says, "Don't worry, Lily. I will use oven mitts to protect my hands. You can watch from a safe distance."
+
+They put the cakes in the oven and set the timer. They wait for the cakes to bake. Lily says, "Daddy, I can smell the cakes. They smell good." Daddy says, "Me too, Lily. They will be ready soon. Then we can stack them and frost them and decorate them with more sprinkles."
+
+They take the cakes out of the oven and let them cool. Then they stack them and frost them and decorate them with more sprinkles. They make a beautiful rainbow cake. Lily says, "Daddy, look at our cake. It is so colorful and big and tasty." Daddy says, "You are right, Lily. It is the best cake ever. And you are the best helper ever. I love you, Lily." Lily says, "I love you too, daddy. Can we eat the cake now?" Daddy says, "Of course, Lily. Let's cut a slice and share it. We deserve a treat after all our hard work." They cut a slice and share it. They smile and hug and enjoy their rainbow cake. They are happy.
+One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big box under a tree. It had a sign that said "Do not open". Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to know what was inside the box. They asked their mom if they could open it.
+
+"No, you can't," their mom said. "It is not ours. It is a mystery. Someone else left it here. Maybe they will come back for it."
+
+"But what if they don't?" Lily asked. "What if it has something nice or fun or yummy inside?"
+
+"Or something scary or mean or icky?" Tom said.
+
+Their mom smiled. She was compassionate. She knew they were just kids. She said, "How about we play a game instead? We can pretend we are detectives and look for clues around the park. Maybe we can find out who left the box and why."
+
+Lily and Tom liked the idea. They agreed to play the game. They followed their mom around the park. They looked for footprints, fingerprints, stickers, and anything else that might be a clue. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the box.
+
+At the end of the day, they went back to the tree. The box was still there. But there was something new on it. A note that said "Thank you for not opening. This is a surprise for my friend. She is sick and I want to make her happy. You are very kind and respectful. I hope you have a wonderful day."
+
+Lily and Tom felt happy too. They remembered what their mom taught them. It is good to be curious, but it is also good to respect other people's things. They waved goodbye to the box and the note. They went home with their mom. They told her they had a great day. They solved the mystery.

+
+"I'm sorry, Anna, I didn't mean to!" Ben says. "It was an accident. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She sees that Ben is sorry. She remembers that he is her brother and her friend. She smiles and hugs him.
+

+
+They pick up the blocks and start to build the building again. They are careful and gentle. They drive their cars on the building. They have fun and laugh. They are happy.

+
+"Is it cake?" Tom guesses.
+
+"Is it ice cream?" Sara guesses.
+
+Mom shakes her head and laughs.

+
+Suddenly, a hunter appeared. The tiger quickly turned around and asked the hunter, "What do you want?" The hunter said, "I have come here to take you back with me". The tiger was frightened, but then it thought about its kindness and wanted to give the hunter a chance. It decided to go with the hunter.
+
+When they arrived at the hunter's house, the hunter was not kind at all. It put the tiger in a cage and used it for hunting. The poor tiger was sad and scared, but there was nothing it could do.
+
+The hunter didn't care about the tiger's kind heart. So the kind tiger was made to live as a pet for the rest of its days.

+
+He shouted, "Mommy, I want a drink!" But his Mom was busy and she said, "No, John, wait a little bit."
+John waited and waited, until he felt very touch. He said "Mommy, I'm so touch!"
+
+But John's Mom was still busy and she said to him, "Sorry John, just wait a little bit longer."
+John waited, but he was becoming more and more miserable, until he felt like he couldn't stand it anymore.
+
+John shouted for his Mom one more time, but all he heard was the sound of silence. His Mom was gone and she didn't come back again. John became very sad and miserable and he was all alone in the sun.

+
+When he was finished, Joe took off on his journey feeling better prepared than ever. He knew that being loyal and generous can often be a tough job, but it will always be rewarded.

+Mum said it was time to go outside, but Lucy wanted to wait for the postman. Finally, the postman arrived with a big, bright yellow bag. He was a bit harsh, but Lucy liked watching him deliver the mail.
+
+The postman put all the mail in the stand. Then he waved at Lucy and shouted goodbye. Lucy waved back and said "Goodbye!"
+
+Mum said it was time to go, but Lucy wanted to wait for more mail. She had a feeling something special was on its way.
+Once upon a time, there were two friends. One was called Alex and the other was called Joy. One day, Alex wanted to move a stand but he was too small. Joy wanted to help but she wasn't tall enough either.
+
+"What can we do?" Alex asked.
+
+"Let's ask for help," Joy replied.
+
+So Alex and Joy asked for help from the people around them. Everyone said no. Then finally, a kind man said he would help.
+
+The kind man moved the stand for them. Alex and Joy thanked the kind man and they hugged him.
+
+The moral of the story is that it is always good to ask for help. When we ask for help we can do more things together than we might be able to do by ourselves.
+Once upon a time, there were two best friends, Jack and Emma. Every day the two friends would play games and tell stories. 
+
+One day, Jack wanted to go look for a fairy. But Emma didn't want him to go because she was afraid he would get lost.
+
+“No, no, no,†Emma insisted. “It's too dangerous. Don't go!â€
+
+Jack was very bossy, so he was determined to go, even if Emma didn't like it. He said he would be very careful.
+
+So off they went, deep into the woods, but after a while, Jack got tired and stopped walking. He couldn't find the fairy. Emma insisted they turn back, but Jack refused and said they could search a bit longer.
+
+Unfortunately, by the time they realized it was getting dark, it was too late! Emma had to carry Jack all the way back home and they arrived just as the sun went down.
+
+The next day, they decided to look for the fairy again. Of course, they were much more careful this time and eventually, they found the fairy! Jack was so excited, and he thanked Emma for insisting that they turn back when it was getting dark before.
+The sun was out and it was a warm day.
+
+Tommy was walking through the park. He was watching all the things around him. Suddenly, he heard something that disturbed him.

+
+Tommy was a brave boy. He wanted to get the celery out of the water. He stuck his arm in but it was too deep.
+
+Suddenly, a big bird flew down and grabbed the celery in its beak. It flew away and Tommy smiled. He was happy that he helped the bird get the celery out of the water.
+Once upon a time there was a pond. Inside the pond, there was a clever duck who always enjoyed diving deep down in the water. His friends, the other ducks, didn't understand why he wanted to do this. 
+
+"Why do you always dive so deep?" asked one of the ducks.
+
+The clever duck looked up, "Why don't you come and see for yourself?"
+
+The ducks weren't so sure, so they decided to wait and watch.
+
+The duck dove down, deep into the pond. He came back up with all kinds of amazing things! His friends were so surprised!
+
+"How did you find all these things?" they asked.
+
+The duck smiled and said, "I was foolish enough to dive down and have a look around! That's how I find all these treasures!"
+
+The other ducks couldn't believe it. They decided to give it a try, too. Soon they were all diving down and having a great time!
+Once upon a time, there was a boy called Jack. He loved to decorate his house. He wanted to make it look the most beautiful.

+
+"What's wrong?" said Bob.
+
+"I can't solve this," said Jane, pointing to a strange, dark cloud near the sunset.
+
+Bob looked closely and he could see that something was making the cloud move.
+
+"It's ok," said Bob. "Let me try and solve it." 
+
+He thought for a moment, then pointed to the sky. "Look there - it's a hot air balloon!" 
+
+Jane smiled. "You're right!"
+
+They watched the hot air balloon until it faded away into the sunset. Jane wasn't worried anymore. She smiled and hugged Bob.

+
+One day they were on an adventure and they went to a meadow. When they got there they saw a big tree. 
+
+"Let's climb it!" said one.
+
+The other replied, "Yes! That sounds perfect!" 
+
+So they grabbed their handles and started to climb. Halfway up the tree they got too high and had to separate. They were holding each other's handles so they couldn't get down.
+
+"Don't worry!" said one. "We can use this handle to pull each other up."
+
+And so they did until they were both down safely. This reminded them that they were perfect partners who should never be separated. They held hands and made a promise never to separate again. 
+
+The End

+
+He entered a code that he saw on the menu and the door opened. But as soon as he opened it, the door closed behind him, trapping Tom inside the magical world.

+
+Suddenly, Jane heard a loud noise. Dead leaves were falling from a nearby tree. She ran over to investigate and to her surprise, she saw what looked like a dead bird stuck in the tree. She cried out in fear and wanted to run away. 
+
+That's when a friendly voice called out to her. It was the bird, who was still alive. He said, "Don't be scared, Jane. I'm not dead. These leaves just made me look like I was." 
+
+At this, Jane couldn't help but laugh. She gently helped the bird out of the tree and watched him fly away. She went on with her day, still wearing her favorite skirt, still feeling happy and knowing that the bird was safe.
+Once there was a little girl named Lucy. She was 3 years and she loved to eat peanuts. Everyday she would wake up and her mum would give her a huge bowl full of peanuts. One day, Lucy's mum gave her an enormous bowl of peanuts, bigger than she had ever seen before.
+
+When Lucy saw the enormous bowl of peanuts she was so happy. She began eating them and soon they were finished. But soon Lucy's happiness turned to sadness. She looked down and saw the empty bowl, which made her frown.

+
+My mommy said, “This looks like a mystery!†We carefully moved the rock, and underneath we found a secret door!
+
+We opened the door and there was an even bigger secret inside. It was a hidden cave! All around there were sparkly crystals and mysterious drawings. We kept exploring until my mommy said it was time to rest.
+
+We decided to keep the mystery hidden, so we carefully replaced the rock in front of the door. We left with more questions than when we arrived, but I felt excited knowing that there was an adventure to be discovered.
+Once upon a time there was a statue made of clay. It was all by itself, so it was very independent.

+
+Suddenly the ground started to shake. A big crack started to open up around the statue and it split in half! The statue was surprised.
+
+Then a voice came from the crack in the ground. It said, “Hello there! I heard you calling out for help. I’m so glad you’re ok!â€

+But Laura was curious. She wanted to know why it was dangerous.
+
+“Why is it dangerous, Mommy?†she asked.

+Timmy felt grumpy because he loved that ball so much. His friend, Billy, saw how sad Timmy was and said, "Don't worry, Timmy. Let's look for your ball together!" They searched and searched, but they couldn't find it anywhere.
+
+Suddenly, Billy had an idea. He said, "Let's cover the whole park with posters of your ball. Maybe someone will see it and bring it back to you!" Timmy loved the idea and they spent the whole day making posters and putting them up. The next day, someone found Timmy's ball and brought it back to him. Timmy was so happy and grateful to his friend Billy for helping him.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside and get dirty. One day, she was playing in the mud and got very filthy. 
+
+Her mom saw her and said, "Lily, you need to take a bath. You are very dirty." 
+
+Lily didn't want to take a bath because she was having so much fun playing. Her mom reminded her that if she didn't take a bath, she wouldn't be able to win at her upcoming soccer game because she would be too dirty. 
+
+Lily realized her mom was right and took a bath. She felt much better and was able to win the soccer game the next day. From that day on, Lily always remembered to take a bath before her games so she could win.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She got an invitation to a big party at her friend's house. She was so excited and she didn't want to miss it for anything in the world. 
+
+On the day of the party, Lily's mom told her to stay close and not wander off. Lily promised to be good and stay by her mom's side. 
+
+When they arrived at the party, everything was so much fun. There was cake, balloons, and games to play. But then, Lily saw a big, bad dog running towards her. She got scared and started to cry. 
+
+But then, her friend's dad came to the rescue and told the dog to stay away from Lily. Lily was so happy and grateful to her friend's dad for saving her. From that day on, she knew that she should always listen to her mom and stay close to her.
+Yesterday, Timmy went to the park with his mommy. They played on the swings and the slide. Timmy was having so much fun, but then he got too excited and he broke his toy car. He was so ashamed that he started to cry.
+
+His mommy hugged him and said, "It's okay, accidents happen. Let's go home and fix your car." Timmy felt better and they went home to fix his car. They used glue to fix it and it was good as new. Timmy was happy again and he learned that it's okay to make mistakes sometimes.
+Once upon a time, there was a friendly dog named Spot. Spot liked to watch the birds in the sky. One day, Spot went to take a bath with his owner. His owner gave him a bar of soap to wash with. Spot didn't like the soap because it tasted bad. 
+
+"Yuck! This soap tastes bad," said Spot to his owner.
