Anna looks and sees the key hanging from a branch of a tree. The key is light and shiny in the sun. Tom says he put it there this morning when he was playing outside. He says he wanted to have some fun with her. + +Anna feels angry and sad. She thinks Tom is mean and not nice. She says he is a bad brother and she does not want to play with him.

They saw a tall tree with a shiny thing on top. They wanted to see what it was. + +"Let's climb the tree and get it!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lila said. + +They climbed the tree and reached the shiny thing. It was a crystal. It was very pretty and sparkly. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He took the crystal and opened it. + +Inside the crystal, there was a big spider. It was very angry and scary. It jumped out of the crystal and bit Tom. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom screamed. He dropped the crystal and fell from the tree. + +Lila was scared and sad. She ran to Tom and tried to help him. + +"Tom, are you OK?" Lila asked. + +But Tom did not answer. He was very sick and hurt. The spider had poisoned him. + +Lila cried and cried. She wished they had never opened the crystal. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play together.

One day, they saw a big slide that looked fun. Tom wanted to go first, but Mia said, "No, I need to go first. I am smaller and faster than you." + +Tom was angry and said, "No, you are not. I am bigger and stronger than you. Let me go first or I will push you." + +Mia was scared and said, "Please, don't push me. That is not nice. We can take turns and share the slide." + +But Tom did not listen and pushed Mia away. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He was so excited that he did not see the sign that said, "Be careful. The slide is tight." + +He slid down the slide very fast and got stuck in the middle. He tried to wiggle and kick, but he could not move. He felt very bad and cried, "Help! Help! I am stuck!" + +Mia heard him and ran to the slide. She saw Tom and felt sorry for him.

Next time, let's share the slide and have fun together." + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, let's do that. Sharing is caring." + +They hugged and slid down the slide together.

They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and hide behind the furniture. They had a big sofa, a table, a chair and a lamp. They used a blanket as a sail and a broom as a sword. + +"Arrr, matey, I see you behind the sofa!" Tom shouted. He ran towards Lily with his broom. + +"Ahoy, you can't catch me!" Lily said. She jumped over the table and ran to the lamp. + +They were having fun, but they did not notice that the lamp was very hot. It had been on for a long time and the bulb was burning. The lamp was near the curtain, and the curtain was touching the bulb. + +Suddenly, they smelled something bad. They saw smoke and fire on the curtain. They were scared and they trembled. + +"Fire, fire!" Lily screamed. "We have to get out!" + +Tom dropped his broom and grabbed Lily's hand. They ran to the door and opened it. They saw their mom in the kitchen. She was cooking and she did not hear them. + +"Mom, mom, there's a fire in the living room!" Tom cried. + +"What? Oh no!" Mom said. She turned off the stove and ran to the living room. She saw the fire and grabbed a bucket of water. She threw the water on the curtain and the fire went out. + +She hugged Lily and Tom and checked if they were hurt. They were not hurt, but they were very sorry. + +"I'm sorry, mom, we were playing and we did not see the lamp," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, mom, we were careless and we did not turn off the lamp," Tom said. + +Mom was angry, but she was also glad that they were safe. + +"I'm glad you're okay, but you have to be more careful. You could have burned the house down. You have to stay away from hot things and never play with fire. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +"Yes, mom, we understand. We're sorry. We love you," Lily and Tom said. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She told them to go to their room and think about what they did. She also told them to help her clean the furniture and the curtain later. + +Lily and Tom went to their room. They felt bad, but they also felt lucky. They learned a lesson and they hoped they would never see fire again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. One day, they have a big bag of blocks to play with. They want to make a very long tower that reaches the sky. + +They start to build the tower on the floor. They put one block on top of another block. They use red blocks and blue blocks and yellow blocks. The tower grows taller and taller. Lily and Tom are happy. + +But then, they see that the bag of blocks is almost empty. They only have a few blocks left. They worry that they will not have enough blocks to complete the tower. They look at the tower and see that it is still far from the sky. + +"What can we do?" Lily asks Tom. "We need more blocks to finish the tower." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He says to Lily, "I know! We can use other things to make the tower longer. We can use books and pillows and toys. Come on, let's find some." + +Lily likes Tom's idea. She says, "OK, let's go!" They run around the room and look for things to add to the tower. They find some books and pillows and toys. They bring them to the tower and put them on top of the blocks. The tower grows longer and longer. Lily and Tom are happy. + +They work hard and fast. They use all the things they can find. They make the tower as long as they can. They look at the tower and see that it is almost touching the sky. They smile and clap their hands. They have completed the tower. + +They say to each other, "We did it! We made a long tower that reaches the sky. We are the best builders ever!" + +They hug and laugh. They are proud of their tower. They are not worried anymore. They are happy. +Lily likes to feel flowers. She likes how they are soft and pretty and smell good. She likes to pick them and give them to her mom and dad. They always smile and hug her when she does that. + +One day, Lily sees a big flower in the garden. It is yellow and red and has many petals. Lily wants to feel it and pick it. She runs to the flower and reaches for it. But the flower is too high for her. She jumps and stretches, but she cannot touch it. + +Lily feels impatient. She wants the flower now. She looks around and sees a chair. She has an idea. She drags the chair to the flower and climbs on it. Now she can reach the flower. She feels happy. + +She grabs the flower and pulls. But the flower does not come off. It is stuck to the stem. Lily pulls harder and harder. She feels angry. She does not understand why the flower does not come off. + +Suddenly, she hears a loud buzz. She looks up and sees a bee. The bee is flying to the flower. The bee likes the flower too. The bee does not like Lily. The bee feels angry too. The bee stings Lily on her hand. + +Lily feels pain. She drops the flower and falls off the chair. She cries and runs to her mom. Her mom sees the sting and feels sorry. She hugs Lily and puts ice on her hand. She tells Lily that the flower is not for picking. The flower is for the bee. The bee needs the flower to make honey. + +Lily feels sad. She likes honey, but she likes flowers more. She says sorry to the flower and the bee. She learns a lesson. She decides to feel flowers only with her eyes, not with her hands. She hopes the flower and the bee will forgive her. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the woods behind their house. One day, they find a big hole in the ground. They want to see what is inside. + +They lean over the hole and look down. They see something white and hard. It looks like a big ball with holes in it. They think it is a skull. A skull is what is inside your head. They wonder who it belongs to. + +They hear a loud growl behind them. They turn around and see a big bear. The bear is angry and hungry. It wants to eat them. They are very scared. They run away from the hole and the bear. + +They run back to their house and tell their mom what they saw. Their mom hugs them and says they are brave. She says the skull is from a dead animal. A dead animal is one that does not breathe or move anymore. She says the bear was probably looking for food. She says they should not go near the hole or the bear again. + +Tim and Sam nod and say they understand. They are glad they are safe and alive. They do not want to be dead like the animal. They do not want to be a skull in a hole. They want to play with their toys and their mom. They love their mom. She loves them too. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to watch the big crane that was building a new house. The crane had a long arm and a big hook. It could lift and move heavy things. + +"Look, Lily, the crane is moving a big brick!" Sam said. "It is putting it on top of the other bricks. The house is getting taller and taller!" + +Lily nodded. She wanted to see the crane up close. She wondered how it worked. She saw a ladder next to the crane. She had an idea. + +"Sam, let's go and climb the ladder!" she said. "Maybe we can see the crane driver. Maybe he will let us touch the hook!" + +Sam was not sure. He looked at the ladder. It was very high. He looked at the crane. It was very busy. He looked at the park. He did not see their mom. + +"Lily, I don't think that's a good idea," he said. "The ladder is too high for us. The crane is too dangerous for us. And mom told us to stay here. She will be angry if we go away." + +But Lily did not listen. She was too curious. She ran to the ladder and started to climb. She wanted to see the crane. + +"Come on, Sam, don't be scared!" she shouted. "It will be fun!" + +Sam was scared. He did not want to climb the ladder. He did not want to see the crane. He wanted to stay in the park. He wanted to see their mom. + +He saw their mom coming back from the shop. She had a bag of snacks for them. She looked happy. + +"Mom, mom, look!" Sam cried. He pointed to the ladder. He pointed to Lily. He was worried. + +Mom saw Lily on the ladder. She saw the crane above her. She was shocked. She dropped the bag of snacks. She rushed to the ladder. She shouted to Lily. + +"Lily, Lily, what are you doing?" she yelled. "Get down from there right now! It's not safe! It's not a game!" + +Lily heard her mom. She looked down. She saw her mom. She saw Sam. She saw the crane. She was scared. She realized she had made a mistake. She wanted to get down. But she did not know how. + +"Mom, mom, I'm sorry!" she sobbed. "I wanted to see the crane. I wanted to touch the hook. But now I'm stuck. I can't move. Please help me!" + +Mom climbed the ladder. She reached Lily. She hugged her. She was relieved. She was angry. She was sad. + +"Lily, Lily, you are very lucky," she said. "The crane could have hurt you. The ladder could have fallen. You could have been in big trouble. You should never do that again. You should always listen to me. And to Sam. He is a good brother. He tried to stop you. He told me where you were. He saved you." + +Lily nodded. She was sorry. She was ashamed. She was grateful. + +"Mom, mom, I'm sorry," she repeated. "I love you. And I love Sam. He is a good brother. He is a perfect brother." + +Mom smiled. She kissed Lily. She kissed Sam. She took them by the hand. She walked them back to the park. She picked up the bag of snacks. She gave them each a cookie. + +"Let's go and sit on the bench," she said. "We can watch the crane from there. But only from there. And only with me. OK?" + +Lily and Sam nodded. They agreed. They learned their lesson. They followed their mom. They watched the crane. They ate their cookies. They were happy. +Lily and Max were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box that was their ship, and a stick that was their sword. They pretended to sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +"Arrr, matey, I see an island ahead!" Max said. "Maybe there is gold and jewels there!" + +"Let's go and find out!" Lily said. They jumped out of the box and ran to the sandbox. They dug with their hands and found a small metal key. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "Maybe it opens a chest with treasure!" + +"Or maybe it belongs to the enemy pirates!" Max said. "We have to be careful, they might come and take it from us!" + +They heard a noise behind them. It was their dog, Spot, who had followed them to the garden. He barked and wagged his tail, wanting to play. + +"Uh-oh, it's the enemy pirate!" Max said. "He wants our key!" + +"Run, run, run!" Lily said. They picked up the key and ran back to their box. Spot chased them, thinking it was a game. + +"Quick, get in the ship!" Max said. They climbed into the box and closed the lid. Spot scratched at the box and whined. + +"Give me the key, or I will sink your ship!" Spot said. (He didn't really say that, but Lily and Max imagined he did.) + +"Never!" Max said. "We are brave pirates, we will never surrender!" + +"Please, please, please!" Spot said. (He didn't really say that, but Lily and Max imagined he did.) + +"Sorry, Spot, this is our key!" Lily said. "You can play with us, but you have to be nice!" + +They opened the lid and threw a ball for Spot. He ran after it and brought it back. They played together for a while, then they shared a snack. They put the key in their pocket and decided to keep it as a souvenir. + +They had a lot of fun playing pirates, even though it was not a normal day. They liked to pretend and use their imagination. They loved their dog, and their dog loved them. They were happy. +Tom and Mia like to create things with their toys. They have blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. They make houses, roads, farms, and stories. They have fun playing together. + +One day, Tom and Mia create a big castle with their blocks. They put the dolls and animals inside. They pretend they are the king and the queen. They have a feast, a dance, and a treasure hunt. + +But then, Tom sees a car he likes. It is Mia's car. He wants to play with it. He takes it from the castle and hides it under his bed. Mia does not see him. + +Mia looks for her car. She asks Tom, "Where is my car? I want to play with it." Tom says, "I don't know. Maybe it went out the exit." He points to the door. Mia believes him. She goes out the door to look for her car. + +But she does not find it. She is sad. She comes back to the castle. She says, "I can't find my car. It is gone." Tom feels bad. He knows he is not honest. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I have your car. I took it from the castle. I wanted to play with it. But it is yours. Here it is." He gives her the car. + +Mia is happy. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are honest. You are a good friend. You can play with my car. But please ask me first." Tom says, "You're welcome, Mia. You are a good friend too. I'm sorry I took your car. I will ask you first next time." They hug. They play with the car and the castle. They have fun together. +Anna liked to wash her dolls every day. She had a big tub of water and some soap. She made bubbles and splashed. She gave her dolls names and talked to them. She pretended they were her friends. + +One day, she saw a new doll in the store. It had a pretty dress with a pattern of flowers. Anna wanted the doll very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her. Her mom said no. She said Anna had enough dolls already. Anna was sad and angry. + +She decided to take the doll anyway. She waited until her mom was not looking. She grabbed the doll and hid it under her coat. She ran out of the store with her mom. She thought she was very clever. + +But when she got home, she felt bad. She knew she had done something wrong. She was afraid her mom would find out. She was ashamed of herself. She did not want to play with the doll. She hid it in her closet. + +The next day, her mom asked her to wash her dolls. Anna took out her old dolls and put them in the tub. She did not take out the new doll. She hoped her mom would not notice. But her mom did notice. She saw the pattern of flowers under Anna's coat. She asked Anna where she got the doll. Anna did not answer. She looked down and cried. + +Her mom was very angry and disappointed. She told Anna to give back the doll to the store. She said Anna had to say sorry to the store owner. She said Anna had to learn to be honest and not steal. Anna felt very sorry. She wished she had never taken the doll. She hugged her mom and said she was sorry. She hoped her mom would forgive her. +Lily and Tom were eager to see the fire. They had helped Dad make a big pile of sticks and leaves in the backyard. Dad said they could burn it and make a fire. Lily and Tom liked fire. It was warm and bright and made funny noises. + +Dad lit a match and threw it on the pile. The fire started to grow and crackle. Lily and Tom clapped their hands and cheered. They moved closer to the fire, but not too close. Dad told them to be careful and not touch the fire. It was very hot and could hurt them. + +Lily and Tom watched the fire for a long time. They saw the sticks and leaves turn black and then white. Dad said that was ash. Ash was what was left after the fire ate the sticks and leaves. Lily and Tom wondered what ash felt like. They wanted to touch it, but they knew they had to wait until the fire was gone. + +After a while, the fire got smaller and smaller. It stopped making noises and only glowed a little. Dad said it was time to put out the fire. He got a bucket of water and poured it on the fire. The fire hissed and steamed and then went out. Lily and Tom saw a lot of ash on the ground. It looked soft and fluffy. + +"Can we touch the ash now, Dad?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be gentle. It might be still warm and it might fly away," Dad said. + +Lily and Tom ran to the ash. They scooped some in their hands and felt it. It was cold and smooth and tickled their fingers. They saw it was gray and white and had little bits of black in it. They liked the ash. They decided to make something with it. + +They used the ash to draw on the ground. They made shapes and letters and animals. They had fun with the ash. They showed Dad what they made. Dad smiled and praised them. + +"That's very good, Lily and Tom. You are very creative," Dad said. + +"Thank you, Dad. We like ash. Can we carry some home?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but only a little. We don't want to make a mess in the house," Dad said. + +He gave them each a small bag and helped them fill it with some ash. Lily and Tom were happy. They carried their bags of ash home. They wanted to show Mom what they had done. They hoped she would like it too. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big ball that they could roll on the grass. One day, they saw a big truck parked near their house. It had a saw on the back that could cut trees. + +"Look, a saw!" Tim said. "Let's go see it!" + +"No, Tim, we can't!" Kim said. "Mom said to stay away from the truck. It is dangerous!" + +But Tim did not listen. He ran to the truck and climbed on the back. He touched the saw and tried to turn it on. + +"Tim, stop!" Kim shouted. "You will get hurt!" + +But it was too late. The saw started to make a loud noise and moved very fast. It cut Tim's hand and made him bleed. Tim screamed and fell off the truck. + +Kim ran to him and hugged him. She was very compassionate and tried to help him. She cried and called for Mom. + +Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw Tim and Kim and the saw. She was very scared and angry. She called for help and took Tim to the hospital. + +Tim had to get stitches and a bandage. He was in a lot of pain and could not play for a long time. He was very sorry and wished he had listened to Kim. Kim was very sad and missed playing with Tim. She wished the saw had never come. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a large hole in the ground. They wondered what lived inside. + +"Maybe it is a mole," Lily said. "Moles are small and furry and dig holes." + +"Let's decorate the hole for the mole," Tom said. "Maybe he will come out and say hello." + +They ran to get some flowers, leaves, and stones. They put them around the hole to make it look pretty. They also made a sign that said "Welcome, mole!" + +They waited and waited, but the mole did not come out. They were sad and bored. + +"Maybe he is shy," Lily said. "Or maybe he is sleeping." + +"Or maybe he is not a mole," Tom said. "Maybe he is something else." + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar from the hole. They saw a large head with sharp teeth and claws. It was not a mole. It was a bear! + +"Run!" Lily and Tom shouted.

She sprays water at the plant. + +The plant does not like water. It lets go of Tom's arm. It makes a hissing sound. It tries to hide in the pot. + +Tom is free. He runs to Lily. He hugs her. He is thankful. + +"Thank you, Lily. You saved me. You are very brave." + +Lily smiles. She is glad. She hugs him back. + +"You are welcome, Tom. I am your sister. I love you." + +They hear a voice. It is their mom. She is calling them. + +"Tom, Lily, come inside. It is time for lunch." + +They reply together. + +"OK, mom. We are coming." + +They leave the plant in the pot. They do not want to play with it anymore. They think it is a bad plant. They think it is heavy and mean. They go inside. They wash their hands. They eat their lunch. They are hungry and happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. Lily had a big hat and a magnifying glass. Ben had a coat and a key. The key was from his dad's old car. He said it was a magic key that could open any door. + +They saw a small shed in the corner of the yard. It was old and dusty. They wondered what was inside. Maybe it was a secret base or a treasure chest. They decided to check it out. Ben tried to use his key on the lock, but it did not work. He tried again and again, but nothing happened. He was sad. He wanted to see the shed. + +Lily had an idea. She remembered that her mom had a toolbox in the garage. She said they could find something to fix the lock. Ben agreed. They ran to the garage and looked for the toolbox. They found it under a pile of stuff. They opened it and saw many tools. They did not know what they were for, but they picked some that looked good. + +They went back to the shed with the tools. They tried to use them on the lock, but they did not know how. They hit it, twisted it, and poked it, but nothing worked. They made a lot of noise. They did not notice that their dad was watching them from the window. He smiled and shook his head. + +He came out of the house and walked to the shed. He saw Lily and Ben with the tools and the key. He asked them what they were doing. They said they wanted to see the shed. He said he knew a way to fix the lock. He took the key from Ben and put it in his pocket. He said it was not a magic key, but a normal key. He said he had another key that matched the lock. He took it out and showed it to them. He said it was a special key that he got from his grandpa. He said it was a good key that could open the shed. + +He put the key in the lock and turned it. The lock clicked and opened. He opened the door and invited Lily and Ben to come in. They were curious and excited. They followed him into the shed. They saw many things inside. They saw old books, toys, pictures, and clothes. They saw a bike, a guitar, a telescope, and a globe. They saw a lot of things that belonged to their dad and his grandpa. They said it was like a museum or a time machine. They asked their dad to tell them stories about the things. He said he would. He said he was happy to share the shed with them. He said it was a good place to play and learn. He said he loved them very much. He hugged them and gave them the key. He said it was their key now. He said they could use it to open the shed anytime they wanted. He said they could fix anything they wanted with the tools. He said they were good kids and good spies. He said he was proud of them. They smiled and thanked him. They said they loved him too. They said they were happy to have the shed and the key. They said they were happy to have him. They said he was a good dad and a good spy. They said they were a good family. They said they had a good day. +Sara and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat pasta for dinner. Mom said she would make pasta with cheese and sauce. Sara and Tom helped Mom in the kitchen. They stirred the sauce, grated the cheese, and poured the water. + +"Can we eat now, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for the water to boil and the pasta to cook. It will not take long," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom were bored. They went to the living room. They saw their cat, Luna, on the couch. Luna was sleeping. She looked very comfortable. Sara and Tom wanted to pet Luna. + +"Shh, don't wake her up," Tom whispered. + +They tiptoed to the couch. They lay down next to Luna. They stroked her fur gently. Luna opened her eyes. She purred and licked their faces. + +"Hi, Luna. You are so soft and warm," Sara said. + +Luna snuggled with them. Sara and Tom felt happy. They closed their eyes. They fell asleep. + +Mom came to the living room. She saw Sara, Tom, and Luna on the couch. They looked very cute. She smiled. She covered them with a blanket. + +"Dinner is ready, but you can sleep a little longer. I love you, my little ones," Mom said. +Sara was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things every day. She read many books, played many games, and asked many questions. She had a big brother, Tom, who also liked to learn, but in a different way. He liked to explore the world, climb trees, and make friends with animals. + +One day, Sara and Tom went to the park with their mom. Sara brought her favorite book, and Tom brought his binoculars. They saw many birds, squirrels, and flowers. Sara read about them in her book, and Tom watched them with his binoculars. They both learned a lot. + +Then, Tom saw something that made him curious. It was a big, fluffy, white dog with a long, curly tail. He wanted to pet it and play with it. He ran towards it, calling, "Hey, doggy, come here!" But the dog did not like strangers. It growled and barked at Tom, and wagged its tail angrily. + +Sara saw what was happening, and she remembered something she had read in her book. She knew that a dog's tail could tell how it felt. If it was happy, it would wag its tail fast and friendly. If it was angry, it would wag its tail slow and stiff. She shouted to Tom, "Stop, Tom, stop! The dog is not happy! It does not want to play! Its tail is telling you to go away!" + +Tom heard Sara, and he stopped. He looked at the dog's tail, and he saw that she was right. The dog was not happy. It did not want to play. He backed away slowly, and said, "Sorry, doggy, sorry. I did not mean to scare you." The dog calmed down, and stopped growling and barking. It wagged its tail a little faster, and looked at Tom with curiosity. + +Sara and Tom went back to their mom, who hugged them and praised them. She said, "You are both very intelligent. You learned something new today. You learned how to read a dog's tail, and how to respect its feelings. That is a very important lesson. I am very proud of you." Sara and Tom smiled, and thanked their mom. They learned something new, and they learned to be kind. +Sara and Ben were playing in the basement. They liked to make things with tape and boxes. Sara had a huge box that she wanted to turn into a castle. Ben had a small box that he wanted to turn into a car. + +"Can I have some tape, please?" Sara asked Ben. + +"OK, but only a little. I need tape for my car too," Ben said. He gave Sara a piece of tape. + +Sara tried to stick the tape on the box, but it was too short. She felt sad. She wanted to make a nice castle. + +"Ben, can I have more tape, please?" Sara asked again. + +"No, you can't. You already had some. This is my tape. Go find your own," Ben said. He was mean. He felt happy. He liked to have all the tape. + +Sara felt angry. She didn't like Ben. She looked around the basement. She saw a big roll of tape on a shelf. It was too high for her to reach. She had an idea. + +She pushed her huge box under the shelf. She climbed on the box. She reached for the tape. She got it. She felt proud. She had a lot of tape. + +She jumped off the box. She ran to her castle. She started to tape the box. She made windows and doors and towers. She felt happy. She liked her castle. + +Ben saw Sara with the tape. He felt jealous. He wanted the tape. He ran to the shelf. He saw his small box under the shelf. He had an idea. + +He climbed on the box. He reached for the shelf. He wanted to pull the shelf down. He thought it would be funny. + +But the shelf was too heavy. It didn't move. It made a loud noise. It shook. It fell. It hit Ben on the head. It hurt. Ben felt sorry. He cried. + +Sara heard Ben cry. She felt sorry too. She ran to Ben. She saw the shelf on the floor. She saw the bump on Ben's head. She felt scared. + +"Ben, are you OK?" Sara asked. + +"No, I'm not OK. It hurts. I'm sorry. I was mean. I was silly. Can you help me?" Ben said. + +"OK, I can help you. Come on, let's go upstairs. Mom will make it better. And you can have some of my tape. We can share," Sara said. + +She helped Ben get up. She gave him some tape. They held hands. They went upstairs. They felt better. They liked each other. They learned a lesson. +Tom and his mom went to the grocery store. They needed to buy some food for dinner. Tom liked to help his mom with the grocery list. He could number the things they needed. + +"One, milk. Two, eggs. Three, bread. Four, cheese. Five, apples," Tom said, pointing to the pictures on the list. + +"Very good, Tom. You are a great helper," his mom said, smiling. She put the things in the cart as they walked along the aisles. + +Tom saw a big cake in the bakery section. It had chocolate and sprinkles on it. It looked yummy. He wanted to have some cake. + +"Mom, can we get some cake?" Tom asked, tugging on his mom's sleeve. + +"Sorry, Tom. We can't get cake today. We have enough food for dinner. Maybe another day, okay?" his mom said, gently. + +Tom felt sad. He really wanted some cake. He started to cry. + +"Tom, don't cry. It's okay. We can make some cookies at home. You like cookies, right?" his mom said, trying to calm him down. + +Tom sniffed. He liked cookies, but he liked cake more. He still felt sad. + +"Mom, I want cake. Please, please, please," Tom said, sobbing. + +"Tom, stop crying. You are making a scene. People are looking at us. You need to be fine. Cake is not good for you. It has too much sugar. You can have some fruit instead. Fruit is good for you. It has vitamins," his mom said, firmly. + +Tom didn't care about vitamins. He cared about cake. He cried louder. + +"Tom, enough. You are being naughty. If you don't stop crying, we will go home right now. And you will not get any cookies or fruit. Do you understand?" his mom said, sternly. + +Tom understood. He didn't want to go home without any treats. He wanted to have some cookies or fruit. He wiped his tears and nodded. + +"Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I will be fine. I will not cry anymore," Tom said, quietly. + +"Thank you, Tom. I'm glad you are fine. I love you. Now, let's go pay for our groceries and go home," his mom said, hugging him. + +Tom hugged his mom back. He loved her too. He was fine. He still wanted some cake, but he was fine. +Lily likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She dances with her doll, her dog, and her friends. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. + +One day, Lily finds a gray shirt in her closet. She thinks it is very pretty. It has sparkles and flowers on it. She puts it on and looks at herself in the mirror. She smiles and twirls. She feels like a princess. + +She runs to show her mom. "Mom, look at my shirt! Do you like it?" she asks. + +Mom looks at Lily and hugs her. "You look beautiful, my dear. Where did you get that shirt?" she asks. + +Lily shrugs. "I don't know. I found it in my closet. Can I wear it today?" she asks. + +Mom nods. "Of course you can. It is a very special shirt. It was mine when I was a little girl. I used to dance in it too. Do you want to dance with me?" she asks. + +Lily nods. "Yes, please! I love to dance!" she says. + +Mom and Lily hold hands and dance in the living room. They laugh and spin and sing. They are very happy. They have the same gray shirt and the same love for dancing. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and monkeys. But their favorite was the gorilla. He was big and black and had a funny face. + +The gorilla was in a big cage with trees and rocks. He liked to swing on the vines and play with his friends. Sometimes he would make loud noises and beat his chest. Lily and Ben thought he was brilliant. + +They wanted to see more of the gorilla, so they followed him around the cage. They watched him eat bananas, scratch his head, and roll on the ground. They laughed and clapped when he did something funny. + +But then the gorilla saw them. He looked at them with his big eyes and smiled. He walked over to the fence and reached out his hand. Lily and Ben were scared, but also curious. They went closer and touched his fingers. The gorilla was gentle and warm. + +Lily and Ben made friends with the gorilla. They gave him some of their snacks and talked to him. The gorilla nodded and grunted. He seemed to understand them. They had a lot of fun with the gorilla. They wished they could stay with him forever. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the equipment and slide down the slides. They saw a big box near the swings. It was brown and had some letters on it. + +"What is that?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a present," Mia said. + +They ran to the box and tried to open it. It was locked with a metal thing. They pulled and pushed, but it did not open. + +"Maybe we need a key," Ben said. + +"Or maybe we need to rub it," Mia said. She had seen a movie where a boy rubbed a lamp and a magic man came out. + +She rubbed the box with her hand. Nothing happened. She rubbed harder. Still nothing. + +"Maybe you need to rub it with something else," Ben said. He looked around and saw a stick. He picked it up and rubbed the box with it. + +Suddenly, the box made a loud noise. It shook and opened. Ben and Mia jumped back. They saw something shiny and round inside. It had buttons and lights and wires. It looked like a mysterious machine. + +"Wow! What is that?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a toy," Mia said. + +They were curious and scared. They wanted to touch it, but they also wanted to run away. + +"Hello, children," a voice said from the box. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben and Mia screamed and ran away. They did not want to play with the mysterious machine. They wanted to play with the equipment and the slides. They never went near the box again. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with their toys. Tom has a furry bear. Mia has a doll with a dress. The dress has many threads of different colors. + +One day, Tom and Mia go to the park with their toys. They see a big pond with ducks. The ducks swim and quack. Tom and Mia wave to the ducks. The ducks wave back with their wings. + +"Look, Tom, the ducks are waving to us!" Mia says. + +"Yes, they are, Mia. They are very friendly," Tom says. + +Tom and Mia sit on a bench near the pond. They put their toys next to them. They watch the ducks and talk. + +Suddenly, a strong wind blows. It makes the toys fall from the bench. Tom's bear and Mia's doll roll into the pond. The wind also blows away some threads from Mia's doll's dress. + +"Oh no, our toys!" Tom and Mia cry. + +They run to the edge of the pond. They try to reach their toys. But the pond is too deep and too far. They cannot get their toys back. + +They feel very sad. They hug each other and cry. + +The ducks see what happened. They feel sorry for Tom and Mia. They swim to the toys. They use their beaks to pick up the toys. They bring the toys back to the shore. They drop the toys near Tom and Mia. + +Tom and Mia see their toys. They are wet and dirty. But they are happy. They thank the ducks. + +"Thank you, ducks, for saving our toys!" Tom and Mia say. + +"You're welcome, Tom and Mia. We are glad to help," the ducks say. + +Tom and Mia pick up their toys. They dry them with their clothes. They hug their toys. They also hug the ducks. + +They are friends with the ducks. They wave to the ducks. The ducks wave back with their wings. + +The end. +Lisa is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She can dress herself, brush her teeth, and make her bed. She also likes to help her mom with chores. + +One day, her mom asks her to mail a letter. Lisa is happy. She takes the letter and puts it in her backpack. She puts on her hat, her coat, and her boots. It is cold outside. She says goodbye to her mom and walks to the mailbox. + +On the way, she sees her friend Tom. Tom is playing with his snowman. He says hello to Lisa. + +"Hi, Tom. What are you doing?" Lisa asks. + +"I'm making a snowman. He has a carrot nose, a scarf, and a hat. Do you want to help me?" Tom says. + +"Sorry, Tom. I can't. I have to mail a letter for my mom. It is very important," Lisa says. + +"OK, Lisa. Maybe later. Be careful. It is slippery," Tom says. + +Lisa nods and walks on. She reaches the mailbox. She opens her backpack and takes out the letter. She puts it in the slot. She feels proud. She has mailed the letter by herself. She is independent. + +She turns around and sees Tom waving at her. He has finished his snowman. He looks happy. Lisa smiles and waves back. She decides to join him. She likes to be independent, but she also likes to have fun with her friend. She runs to him and they start to play. They make snowballs and throw them at each other. They laugh and giggle. They forget about the cold and the heat. They are having a good time. +Lily liked to create things with clay. She made pots and cups and animals. She was very good at it. One day, she saw her daddy's ashtray on the table. It was round and shiny and had little holes in it. Lily wanted to make one too. + +She took some clay and rolled it into a ball. Then she pressed her fingers into it to make a hole. She used a stick to poke little holes around the edge. She was very proud of her ashtray. She put it on the table next to her daddy's. + +When her daddy came home, he saw the two ashtrays. He was very angry. He said, "Lily, what have you done? This is not a toy. This is for smoking. Smoking is bad. You are a naughty girl. You could have burned yourself or the house. Go to your room right now." + +Lily was very sad. She did not understand why her daddy was so mad. She did not know what smoking was. She just wanted to create something like her daddy. She ran to her room and cried. She wished her daddy would love her ashtray. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pole in the park. The pole is shiny and red. Sara and Ben want to touch the pole. + +"Look, Ben, a pole!" Sara says. "Let's go and see it!" + +"OK, Sara, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the pole. + +Sara and Ben touch the pole. It is cold and smooth. They think the pole is attractive. They want to climb the pole. + +"Can you climb the pole, Sara?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Can you?" Sara asks. + +They try to climb the pole. But the pole is too slippery. They slide down the pole. They fall on the grass. They are not hurt. They laugh. + +"Ha ha ha, that was fun, Sara!" Ben says. + +"Ha ha ha, yes, Ben, it was fun!" Sara says. + +They get up and hug. They are happy. They like the pole. They like to play in the park. They like to laugh. +Lily was a naughty girl. She did not listen to Mommy and Daddy. She played with the crayons and drew on the wall. She spilled the juice on the sofa. She threw her toys on the floor. She made a big mess. + +Mommy and Daddy were very angry. They said, "Lily, you are a bad girl. You have to punish. You have to go to your room and no TV.

She did not want to take a shower. She did not want to say sorry. She did not want to clean up. She said, "No, no, no! I don't want to punish. I want to play. I want to watch TV. I want to draw. I want to drink juice. I want to have fun." + +Mommy and Daddy did not listen to Lily. They took her to her room and locked the door. They turned off the TV and the lights. They said, "You have to stay here until you learn your lesson. You have to be a good girl and do what we say. You have to punish." + +Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She was scared of the dark. She was cold and wet. She was hungry and thirsty. She was sorry for what she did. She wished she listened to Mommy and Daddy. She wished she was a good girl.

She sang to her friends, the sheep, the pigs, and the ducks. She sang to herself, because singing made her happy. + +One day, a new cow came to the farm. His name was Milo, and he was very big and strong. He did not like to sing. He liked to eat, to sleep, and to push the other animals. He saw Lila singing in the hay, and he laughed at her. "Why do you sing so much?" he asked. "Singing is silly and noisy. You should stop singing and do something useful, like me." + +Lila felt sad and hurt. She liked singing, and she did not think it was silly or noisy. She thought it was beautiful and fun. She wanted to be friends with Milo, but he was mean to her. She did not know what to do. + +She decided to ask her mother, who was a wise and kind cow. She told her mother what Milo had said, and how he had made her feel. Her mother listened and hugged her. "Don't let Milo make you sad, my dear," she said. "Singing is a wonderful gift that you have. It makes you and others happy. It shows your feelings and your dreams. It is not silly or noisy, it is soft and sweet. You should sing as much as you want, and be proud of your voice. Milo does not understand singing, because he does not listen to his heart. He is lonely and unhappy, and he needs a friend. Maybe you can teach him how to sing, and how to be kind." + +Lila smiled and thanked her mother. She felt better and more confident. She decided to try to be friends with Milo, and to share her gift of singing with him. She hoped that he would learn to listen to his heart, and to be happy. + +The moral of the story is: Singing is a wonderful gift that can make you and others happy. You should not let others make you feel bad about your talents. You should try to be kind and friendly to everyone, even if they are different from you. +Tommy was a spoiled boy who always got what he wanted.

He pretended that Croc was his pet and that he could bite anyone who annoyed him. + +One night, Tommy had a bad dream. He dreamed that Croc came to life and grew very big and scary. Croc was angry at Tommy for being so selfish and mean. He chased Tommy around the house, snapping his jaws and roaring.

Please, be my friend again!" + +But Croc did not listen. He opened his mouth wide and was about to bite Tommy, when Tommy woke up with a scream. He looked around and saw that he was in his bed, and that Croc was still a toy on his pillow. He hugged Croc and felt relieved that it was only a dream. + +"Tommy, what's wrong?" his mom asked, rushing into his room. She heard him scream and was worried. + +"I had a bad dream, mom," Tommy said, still shaking. "Croc was real and he wanted to eat me. He was mad at me for being a spoiled boy." + +"Shh, it's okay, Tommy," his mom said, stroking his hair. "It was just a dream. Croc is not real and he can't hurt you. But maybe you should think about why you had that dream. Do you think you have been a spoiled boy lately?" + +Tommy nodded. He felt sorry for being so rude and greedy. He decided to change his ways and be more kind and generous. He told his mom that he loved her and that he wanted to share his toys with his friends. His mom smiled and hugged him.

Can we touch them?" Mia asks. + +The moms say they can touch some things, but not others. They say some things are sharp and can hurt. They point to a needle. A needle is a thin metal thing that can poke. The moms say the needle is for sewing. Sewing is when you use a needle and a thread to make clothes or fix holes. + +"Ouch, a needle can hurt.

They are funny and they tell jokes. And this is my cousin. He is cute and he likes to play." Anna waved and said nice to meet you to them. + +Lily was happy that she introduced her family to Anna. She thought Anna would like her family and want to be friends with them. But Anna looked confused and sad. She said, "Lily, you have too many people in your family. I don't have a big family like you. I only have a mom and a dad. And they are not organized. They are always busy and angry. They don't have time for me. I wish I had a family like yours." + +Lily felt sorry for Anna. She hugged her and said, "Anna, I'm sorry that you don't have a big family like me. But you can be part of my family. You can come to my house anytime and play with me and my family. We will be nice and organized and love you. You are my friend and you are special." Anna smiled and hugged Lily back.

Lily and Anna were happy and they played together in the backyard. They shared the cookies and the Lego and the jokes. They were friends and they were family. +There was a boy who liked to imagine. He imagined he was a lion, a pirate, a superhero, and many other things. He did not need toys or books or games to imagine. He only needed his mind and his voice. + +But the boy was very quiet. He did not like to talk to other people or make noise. He imagined in his own room, or in the garden, or in the park. He did not have many friends, because he did not know how to share his imagination with them. + +One day, he met a girl who also liked to imagine. She imagined she was a princess, a fairy, a doctor, and many other things. She had toys and books and games to imagine with. She liked to talk and laugh and sing. + +The girl saw the boy sitting on a bench, imagining he was a knight. She asked him what he was doing. The boy was shy and did not answer. The girl smiled and said, "Can I imagine with you? I can be your dragon, or your horse, or your queen." + +The boy was surprised and curious. He had never imagined with someone else before. He nodded and said, "Okay. You can be my dragon. I will save you from the evil wizard." + +The girl and the boy started to imagine together. They had fun and made up stories. They became friends and learned to share their imagination with each other. The boy was not so quiet anymore. He liked to talk and laugh and sing with the girl. He was happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bike with a helmet on it. Anna wants to try the bike. She runs to it and puts the helmet on her head. But the helmet is too big for her. It falls over her eyes and nose. + +"Help, help!" Anna cries. "I can't see!" + +Ben hears her and comes to help. He laughs when he sees Anna with the big helmet. He pulls it off her head and puts it on his own. But the helmet is too small for him. It squeezes his ears and chin. + +"Ouch, ouch!" Ben says. "It hurts!" + +Anna laughs when she sees Ben with the small helmet. She takes it off him and puts it on the ground. She sees something furry inside the helmet. It is a mouse. The mouse is scared and runs away. + +"Look, look!" Anna says. "A mouse!" + +Ben sees the mouse and chases it. He wants to catch it and pet it. But the mouse is too fast for him. It hides under a bush. + +"Come back, come back!" Ben says. "I want to play!" + +Anna and Ben forget about the bike and the helmet. They play with the mouse and have fun. They learn that not everything fits everyone. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big bus that they could sit in and drive. They liked to pretend that they were bus drivers who took people on tours around the city. + +One day, they decided to play a new game. They pretended that they were bus drivers who supplied food and water to people who were hungry and thirsty. They filled their bus with boxes and bottles and drove around the house, looking for people who needed their help. + +They saw their mom in the kitchen, who was making lunch. "Hello, mom!" they said. "We are bus drivers who supply food and water. Do you need anything?" + +Mom smiled and played along. "Yes, please," she said. "I am very hungry and thirsty. Can you give me some of your supplies?" + +Anna and Ben nodded and gave mom a box and a bottle. Mom thanked them and pretended to eat and drink. "You are very kind and generous bus drivers," she said. "Where are you going next?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and said, "We are going to the living room. There is a wealthy lady who wants to go on a tour with us. She has a lot of money and a big hat. She likes to see the sights and learn new things." + +Mom laughed and said, "That sounds like fun. Have a good time on your tour. And don't forget to come back for lunch." + +Anna and Ben waved goodbye and drove their bus to the living room. They found their dad, who was reading a book. He had a pillow on his head and a scarf around his neck. He was pretending to be the wealthy lady who wanted to go on a tour. + +"Hello, dad!" they said. "We are bus drivers who supply food and water. And we also do tours around the city. Do you want to join us?" + +Dad looked up and played along. "Yes, please," he said. "I am a wealthy lady who likes to go on tours. I have a lot of money and a big hat. I like to see the sights and learn new things. Can you take me to the park and the zoo and the museum?" + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Of course. Hop on our bus and we will show you the best places in the city. And if you get hungry or thirsty, we have plenty of supplies for you." + +Dad thanked them and got on the bus. He pretended to pay them with paper money and put on his big hat. Anna and Ben drove their bus to the park and the zoo and the museum, which were really the backyard and the bedroom and the bathroom. They told dad about the animals and the plants and the paintings, and gave him some food and water when he asked. + +They had a lot of fun playing pretend. They were happy bus drivers who supplied food and water and did tours around the city. They made their mom and dad happy too. They were a happy family. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are playing pretend in the garden. Lila is a princess and Tom is a knight. + +"Knight Tom, please hurry! The dragon is coming!" Lila says. She holds a stick as a sword and a basket as a shield. + +"I am coming, Princess Lila! I have a magic wine to stop the dragon!" Tom says. He runs with a bottle of juice as the wine. He is a reliable knight. He always helps Lila. + +They see the dragon. It is a big dog. The dog barks and runs to them. Lila and Tom are not afraid. They are brave. + +"Take this, dragon! Drink the magic wine!" Tom says. He splashes some juice on the dog. The dog stops and licks the juice. It likes the juice. + +"Good dragon! You are our friend now!" Lila says. She pets the dog. The dog wags its tail. It likes Lila and Tom. + +Lila and Tom are happy. They have a new friend. They share the juice and the stick and the basket. They play together until it is time to go home. +Sara is a thin girl who lives on a street with many big houses. She likes to walk and look at the flowers and trees. One day, she sees a new house on her street. It is very small and has no flowers or trees. Sara is curious and walks closer to the house. + +She sees a boy sitting on the steps. He is also thin and has sad eyes. Sara says hello to him and asks his name. He says his name is Tom and he just moved here with his mom. Sara asks him if he likes his new house. He shakes his head and says no. + +"Why not?" Sara asks. + +"Because we don't own it," Tom says. "We rent it. We had to leave our old house because we had no money. We had a big house with a garden and a dog. But we lost everything. Now we have nothing." + +Sara feels sorry for Tom. She thinks of her own house, which is big and has a flower garden and a cat. She likes her house, but she also likes Tom. She wants to make him happy. She thinks of something to say. + +"You have something," she says. "You have me. I live on this street too. I can be your friend. We can play together and share our toys. Maybe you can come to my house and see my cat. Maybe I can come to your house and see your steps. They look fun to sit on." + +Tom looks at Sara and smiles. He feels a little better. He says thank you to Sara and nods. He says he would like to be her friend and play with her. He says he would like to see her cat and show her his steps. He says maybe his new house is not so bad after all. + +Sara and Tom hold hands and walk on the street. They talk and laugh and look at the flowers and trees. They are happy. They have each other. They have a new friendship. +Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play with paper and crayons. They made many pictures of animals, flowers and cars. One day, they saw a big book with photos of different places in the world. They saw a photo of a temple. It was a big house with many colors and shapes. It looked very pretty. + +"Wow, look at that temple!" Lila said. "I want to make a picture of it." + +"Me too!" Sam said. "Let's print the photo and use it as a model." + +They asked their teacher if they could use the printer. The teacher said yes and helped them print the photo. They took the photo and their paper and crayons to their table. They started to draw the temple. + +Lila drew the temple very carefully. She used many colors and shapes. She made the temple look very pretty. Sam drew the temple very quickly. He used only one color and a few shapes. He made the temple look very simple. + +Lila looked at Sam's picture. She felt envious. She thought Sam's picture was better than hers. She thought Sam was a better artist than her. She wanted to have Sam's picture. + +"Sam, can I have your picture?" Lila asked. + +"No, why?" Sam asked. + +"Because I like it more than mine. It is more beautiful." Lila said. + +"No, it is not. It is very simple. Yours is more beautiful. It has more colors and shapes. It looks like the real temple." Sam said. + +"Really? You think so?" Lila asked. + +"Yes, I do. I wish I could draw like you. You are a better artist than me." Sam said. + +Lila felt surprised. She did not know Sam liked her picture. She felt happy. She thought Sam was a good friend. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are very kind. I like your picture too. It is very creative. You are a good artist too." Lila said. + +They smiled at each other. They decided to keep their own pictures. They put them on the wall. They were proud of their work. They learned that different pictures can be beautiful in different ways. They learned to appreciate their own and each other's talents. They continued to play with paper and crayons. They had fun. +Tommy was very excited. Today was his birthday and he hoped to receive a big present. He loved animals and he wished for a tiger. He saw a tiger in a book and he thought it was beautiful and strong. + +He ran downstairs and saw a big box with a bow. He opened it and saw a stuffed tiger. He was happy but also a little sad. He wanted a real tiger, not a toy. He said to his mom, "Thank you, mom, but this is not a real tiger. Where is my real tiger?" + +His mom hugged him and said, "Tommy, I know you love tigers, but a real tiger is not a good present. A real tiger is wild and dangerous. It needs a lot of space and food and care. It does not belong in a house. It belongs in the jungle. A toy tiger is a good friend. You can play with it and cuddle with it and take it anywhere. It will always love you and never hurt you." + +Tommy thought about what his mom said. He looked at his stuffed tiger and felt its soft fur and its big eyes. He realized that his mom was right. A toy tiger was a better present than a real tiger. He hugged his mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. You are right. I love my toy tiger. It is the best present ever. Thank you, mom." + +His mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tommy. I'm glad you like it. Happy birthday, my sweet boy." + +Tommy learned that sometimes what we wish for is not what we need. He learned to be grateful for what he has and to respect the animals and their habitats. He and his toy tiger became best friends and had many adventures together. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the big house. The big house has many rooms. Some rooms are nice. Some rooms are scary. Tom and Sue do not go to the scary rooms. + +One day, Tom and Sue find a new room. The room has a door with a lock. Tom and Sue are curious. They want to see what is inside. They find a key under a rug. They open the door. + +The room is dark and cold. There is a big box in the middle. The box has a hole. Tom and Sue hear a sound from the hole. It sounds like a cry. + +"Who is there?" Tom asks. + +"Help me, please. I am in the chamber. I have been here for a long time. I am hungry and thirsty. Please, give me some food and water. Please, let me out." A voice says. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They do not know who is in the chamber. They do not know what to do. + +"Maybe we should help him. He sounds sad." Sue says. + +"Maybe he is bad. Maybe he will hurt us. Maybe we should go." Tom says. + +They argue for a while. Then they hear a loud noise. It is the owner of the big house. He is angry. He sees Tom and Sue in the room. He sees the open door. He sees the chamber. + +"What are you doing here? How did you find the key? How did you open the door? You are very naughty. You have spoiled my experiment. You have freed my patient. He is very dangerous. He will bite you. He will scratch you. He will make you sick. You will be sorry." He says. + +He grabs Tom and Sue. He throws them in the chamber. He locks the door. He laughs. + +The end. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to race them on the floor and make loud noises. One day, they saw a big car in the street. It was shiny and red and had four doors. Tim and Sam admired the big car. They wanted to touch it and sit inside it. + +"Let's go and see the big car," Tim said to Sam. "Maybe we can play with it." + +"No, Tim, we can't," Sam said. "The big car belongs to someone else. It is not ours. Mommy said we should not touch things that are not ours." + +"But I want to see the big car," Tim said. "It looks so fun. Come on, Sam, don't be scared. It will be quick." + +Tim ran to the big car and opened the door. He climbed inside and looked around. He saw many buttons and levers and a big wheel. He wanted to try them all. He pushed a button and the car made a loud honk. He pulled a lever and the car started to move. He turned the wheel and the car went faster. + +"Tim, stop!" Sam shouted. "You don't know how to drive the big car. You are being foolish. You will get in trouble." + +But Tim did not listen to Sam. He was having too much fun. He drove the big car on the street and did not look where he was going. He hit a tree and a fence and a mailbox. He made a big mess. He wrecked the big car and many other things. + +People came out of their houses and saw the wreck. They were angry and scared. They called the police and the firemen. They asked who did this. They saw Tim and Sam in the big car. They were not happy. + +Tim and Sam were very sorry. They cried and said they were sorry. They did not mean to wreck the big car and the other things. They just wanted to play. + +But it was too late. The police and the firemen came and took them away. They said they had to talk to their mommies and daddies. They said they had to pay for the damage. They said they had to learn a lesson. + +Tim and Sam wished they had listened to Sam. They wished they had not touched the big car. They wished they had not been foolish. They had no more fun. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They saw a shiny telephone on the table. It was Mom's telephone. It was very expensive. + +"Let's pick it up and talk to someone," Tom said. + +"Okay," Lily said. They picked up the telephone and pressed some buttons. They heard a beep. + +"Hello, hello, who is this?" a voice said. + +Tom and Lily giggled. They did not know who it was. + +"Hi, we are Tom and Lily. We are playing with the telephone," Tom said. + +"You are playing with the telephone? That is not good. That is Mom's telephone. It is very expensive. You should put it down and play with something else," the voice said. + +Tom and Lily felt scared. They did not want to make Mom angry. + +"Sorry, sorry, we did not know. We will put it down now. Bye bye," Lily said. + +They put down the telephone and ran away. They decided to play with their toys instead. They hoped Mom would not find out. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their bikes. One day, they saw a big flag on a hill. It was red and white and had a cross on it. + +"Wow, look at that flag!" Lila said. "It is so pretty. I want to ride to it and touch it." + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lila. That flag is ancient. It is very old and dirty. It belongs to the castle. We are not allowed to go there. It is dangerous." + +Lila did not listen. She wanted to see the flag. She rode her bike fast up the hill. Ben followed her. He was scared. + +"Stop, Lila, stop!" Ben shouted. "You are breaking the rules. The castle people will be angry. They will catch us and lock us up." + +Lila did not stop. She reached the flag and grabbed it. It was rough and torn. She felt happy. She waved it in the air. + +"Look, Ben, look! I have the flag. It is mine. It is not ancient. It is fun." + +Ben was not happy. He saw some men coming out of the castle. They had helmets and swords. They looked angry. They saw Lila and Ben. They shouted at them. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing with our flag? That is our treasure. Give it back. Now!" + +Lila and Ben were scared. They dropped the flag and ran to their bikes. They rode down the hill as fast as they could. The men chased them. They were close. + +"Help, help!" Lila and Ben cried. "We are sorry. We did not mean to take your flag. Please, do not hurt us." + +They reached the park. They saw their parents. They ran to them and hugged them. They told them what happened. Their parents were shocked. They scolded them. + +"Lila and Ben, you were very naughty. You should not have gone to the castle. You should not have taken the flag. You could have been hurt. You must say sorry to the castle people. And you must never do that again." + +Lila and Ben felt sorry. They nodded. They said sorry to the castle people. The castle people were not so angry. They gave them back their bikes. They told them about the flag. It was ancient. It was from a long time ago. It was a symbol of their history. They asked them to respect it. + +Lila and Ben learned a lesson. They said thank you to the castle people. They rode their bikes back to the park. They played with their bikes. They did not touch the flag. They were still best friends. +Tom and Lily are rabbits. They live in a hole under a big tree. They like to eat carrots. They find carrots in the farmer's garden. The farmer does not like rabbits. He tries to catch them. + +One day, Tom and Lily are very hungry. They need carrots. They hop to the garden. They see many carrots. They also see the farmer. He has a big net. He waits for the rabbits. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They want to run away. But they also want to eat carrots. They see one carrot that is very big and orange. It looks yummy. Tom says, "I want that carrot. It is the best carrot. You can have a regular carrot." + +Lily says, "No, Tom. That carrot is too big. It is a trap. The farmer wants you to take it. He will catch you. We should take regular carrots. They are safer." + +Tom does not listen. He is greedy. He hops to the big carrot. He bites it. It is hard and bitter. It is not a real carrot. It is a fake carrot. The farmer laughs. He throws the net over Tom. He catches him. + +Lily cries. She tries to help Tom. But it is too late. The farmer takes Tom away. He puts him in a cage. He says, "I got you, you naughty rabbit. You will be my dinner tonight." + +Lily is alone. She is sad. She wishes she had a regular carrot. She wishes she had Tom. She hops back to the hole. She is hungry and lonely. She has no carrots. She has no friend. The end. +Tommy loved his puppy, Spot. Spot was black and white and very soft. Tommy liked to play with Spot in the yard. They would run and chase and fetch and roll. Tommy was happy with Spot. + +One day, Tommy saw a big dog on the street. The big dog was brown and had long hair. The big dog barked loudly and pulled on a leash. Tommy was scared of the big dog. He wondered why the big dog was so different from Spot. + +"Mommy, why is that dog so big and loud?" Tommy asked his mommy, who was holding his hand. + +"That dog is a different kind of dog, Tommy. He is a sheepdog. He helps farmers with their sheep. He needs a lot of space and exercise. He is not a good dog for the city," Mommy explained. + +"Oh, I see. Spot is a good dog for the city. He is small and quiet and friendly. He likes to cuddle and nap. He is the best dog for me," Tommy said. + +"Yes, he is, Tommy. You are very lucky to have Spot. He loves you very much. And you take good care of him. You feed him and brush him and walk him. That is not always easy. Sometimes it is difficult. But you are a good boy and a good friend to Spot," Mommy said. + +"Thank you, Mommy. I love Spot and I love you. Can we go home and play with Spot now?" Tommy asked. + +"Of course, Tommy. Let's go home and play with Spot. He is waiting for us," Mommy said. + +They walked home, holding hands. Tommy smiled and hugged Spot. Spot licked his face and wagged his tail. They were happy together. +Lily liked to play with her toy scale. She liked to weigh different things and see which one was heavier or lighter. One day, she found a bunch of celery in the kitchen. She wondered how much it weighed. + +She took the celery and put it on one side of the scale. Then she looked for something else to put on the other side. She saw a big book, a soft teddy bear, and a shiny ball. She tried each one, but none of them matched the celery. The celery was always heavier. + +Lily was puzzled. She thought celery was not heavy at all. It was green and thin and crunchy. How could it weigh more than a book or a bear or a ball? She decided to ask her mom. + +She brought the celery and the scale to her mom, who was reading on the couch. She showed her mom what she was doing and asked her why the celery was so heavy. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She explained that celery was mostly water, and water was heavier than air. She said that the book, the bear, and the ball had a lot of air inside them, so they weighed less than the celery. She said that celery was good for you, because it had vitamins and fiber. She asked Lily if she wanted to try some. + +Lily nodded. She was curious about the celery. She took a bite and felt the water squirt in her mouth. She liked the taste and the crunch. She decided that celery was not only heavy, but also yummy and mysterious. She thanked her mom and went back to play with her scale. She wondered what else she could weigh. +Tom and Mia were playing with clay. They liked to make different shapes and feel the texture. The clay was soft and smooth in their hands. They had red, blue, yellow and green clay. + +Mia wanted to make a flower with red and yellow clay. She rolled the red clay into a ball and then flattened it. She used her finger to make a hole in the middle. Then she took some yellow clay and made small balls. She put them around the hole to make petals. + +Tom wanted to make a face with blue and green clay. He rolled the blue clay into a ball and then flattened it. He used his finger to make two holes for eyes and a line for a mouth. Then he took some green clay and made a long snake. He put it on top of the face to make hair. + +Mia looked at Tom's face and laughed. "That is a silly face!" she said. "It has green hair!" + +Tom felt angry. He did not like Mia laughing at his face. He thought his face was good. He grabbed Mia's flower and smashed it. "That is a bad flower!" he said. "It has no stem!" + +Mia felt sad. She did not like Tom smashing her flower. She thought her flower was pretty. She grabbed Tom's face and pulled off the green hair. "That is a bald face!" she said. "It has no hair!" + +Tom and Mia started to yell at each other. They threw clay at each other. They made a big mess. They did not have fun. + +Mom heard them yelling and came to see what was wrong. She saw the clay all over the floor and the table and the walls. She saw Tom and Mia with clay in their hair and on their clothes. She was very mad. + +"Tom and Mia, what have you done?" she yelled. "You have ruined the clay and made a big mess! You have to clean it up right now! And you have to say sorry to each other! And you have to go to your rooms and think about what you did!" + +Tom and Mia felt sorry. They did not want to make Mom mad. They did not want to clean up the mess. They did not want to go to their rooms. They wished they had not yelled and thrown clay. They wished they had played nicely. But it was too late. They had a bad ending. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and she made many images on paper. She drew her family, her dog, her toys and her dreams. She was very happy when she drew. + +One day, she wanted to draw a big image of a rainbow. She looked for her crayons, but she could not find them. She asked her mom, but her mom did not know where they were. She asked her dad, but her dad did not know either. She felt sad and angry. Where were her crayons? + +She went to her brother's room. He was playing with his cars on the floor. She saw something on his bed. It was her crayon box! He had taken her crayons without asking. She was very mad. She ran to his bed and grabbed her crayon box. She shouted, "These are mine! Give them back!" + +Her brother looked up and saw her. He was surprised and scared. He said, "Sorry, Lily. I just wanted to draw too. I did not mean to make you mad. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily looked at him. She saw that he had drawn some images on his paper too. He had drawn a car, a plane, a rocket and a star. He had used her crayons, but he had also made some nice images. She felt a little less mad. She said, "You should ask me before you take my things. But I like your images. They are nice. Do you want to draw with me?" + +Her brother smiled and said, "Yes, please. I like to draw with you. You are good at drawing. Can you show me how to draw a rainbow?" + +Lily smiled too and said, "Sure. I can show you. Crayons are useful for drawing many things. We can share them and have fun." + +They took their papers and crayons and went to the living room. They sat on the floor and drew together. They drew a big rainbow and many other things. They were happy and they forgot to be mad. They showed their images to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad were proud and happy too. They said, "You are both very good at drawing. And you are very good at sharing. We love you and your images." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to clean them. Every night, their mom tells them to put their toys in the box, but they are lazy. They say, "We will do it later, mom." + +One day, mom has a surprise for them. She says, "I have a new friend for you. He is very cute and fluffy. Do you want to meet him?" Lily and Ben are excited. They say, "Yes, mom. Who is he?" + +Mom brings a puppy into the room. He is brown and white, and he has a big smile. Lily and Ben run to him and hug him. They say, "He is so cute, mom. What is his name?" + +Mom says, "His name is Spot. He likes to play, but he also likes to clean. He will help you clean your toys every night. But you have to be careful. He likes to chew on things. You have to give him his own toys, and his own brush to clean his teeth." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They say, "We will take good care of Spot, mom. We will give him his toys and his brush. We will clean our toys with him every night." + +But they do not keep their promise. They are still lazy. They play with Spot, but they forget to clean their toys. They leave them on the floor, on the bed, on the table. They also forget to give Spot his toys and his brush. They only give him food and water. + +One night, mom goes to check on them. She sees a big mess in their room. She sees toys everywhere, and some of them are broken. She also sees Spot. He is chewing on something. She goes closer and sees that it is Lily's favorite doll. He has ripped off her hair and her dress. He has also chewed on Ben's favorite car. He has broken its wheels and its windows. + +Mom is angry. She says, "Lily, Ben, look what you have done. You have been lazy and careless. You have not cleaned your toys. You have not taken care of Spot. You have let him ruin your toys. How do you feel?" + +Lily and Ben are sad. They see their toys and they cry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We feel bad. We love our toys. We love Spot. We did not mean to hurt them." + +Mom says, "You have to learn your lesson. You have to be responsible and respectful. You have to clean your toys every night. You have to give Spot his toys and his brush. You have to play with him nicely. If you do that, he will be your best friend. He will not chew on your toys. He will help you clean them. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, mom. We will do better. We will clean our toys. We will take care of Spot. We will be his friends." + +Mom says, "That's good. Now, let's start cleaning. Here is a box, here is a bag, here is a brush. Let's work together." + +Lily and Ben say, "Okay, mom. Let's clean." + +They start cleaning their room. They put their toys in the box. They throw away the broken ones in the bag. They give Spot his toys and his brush. They brush his teeth and his fur. They hug him and say, "We are sorry, Spot. We love you." + +Spot wags his tail and licks their faces. He says, "Woof, woof. I love you too." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a cute dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar. + +"Hello, doggy!" Sara says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog wags its tail. It likes Sara and Tom. They throw a ball for the dog. The dog runs and catches the ball. It brings the ball back to them. + +"Good doggy!" Tom says. "You are very fast and smart." + +The dog licks Tom's face. Tom laughs. He likes the dog. + +Sara has a sandwich in her backpack. She is hungry. She takes out the sandwich and opens it. It has cheese and ham. It smells good. + +"Can I have a bite?" Tom asks. + +"Sure," Sara says. "Here you go." + +She gives Tom a piece of her sandwich. Tom bites it. It tastes yummy. + +"Thank you," Tom says. "This is a good sandwich." + +The dog looks at Sara and Tom. It is hungry too. It whines and begs. + +"Can we feed the dog?" Sara asks. + +"OK," Tom says. "But only a little bit. We don't want to make the dog sick." + +They break off a small piece of their sandwich. They hold it out for the dog. The dog sniffs it. It likes the smell. It takes the piece gently from their hands. It chews it. It tastes good. + +"Good doggy!" Sara and Tom say. "You are very polite and sweet." + +The dog wags its tail. It is happy. It likes Sara and Tom. They share their sandwich with the dog. They finish their lunch. They play some more with the dog. They have fun. + +The end. +Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sam 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," Sam said. + +"No, no, no! It's ugly and slimy. I don't like it," Lily said. + +Sam put the worm back in the dirt and followed Lily. He saw her hiding behind a bush. He wanted to make her laugh, so he had an idea. He looked around and saw a bottle of lotion on the table. He grabbed it and ran to the bush. + +"Lily, Lily, look what I have!" Sam said. + +He pointed to the bottle of lotion and squirted some on his face. He made a funny face and said, "I'm a lotion monster! Rawr!" + +Lily peeked out from the bush and saw Sam. She saw the lotion on his face and thought he looked silly. She giggled and said, "You're not a monster, Sam. You're a clown!" + +Sam smiled and said, "Do you want some lotion too?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please!" + +Sam squirted some lotion on Lily's face and they both laughed. They rubbed the lotion on their arms and legs and pretended to be slippery. They had fun playing with the lotion until their mom came out. + +"Sam, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom said. + +She saw the lotion on their faces and clothes and was not happy. She said, "You made a big mess with the lotion. That's not for playing, that's for your skin. You need to wash it off right now." + +Sam and Lily looked at each other and said, "Sorry, Mom." + +They followed Mom to the bathroom and washed off the lotion. They learned their lesson and never played with the lotion again. +Lily was a little girl who loved to feed the squirrels in the park. She always brought some peanuts for them and watched them eat and play. One day, she saw a new squirrel who looked very shy and scared. He had a big scar on his tail and he stayed away from the other squirrels. + +Lily wanted to be his friend, so she threw a peanut near him and smiled. The squirrel sniffed the peanut and looked at Lily. He was hungry, but he was also afraid. He had been hurt by a mean dog before, and he did not trust people or animals. + +"Hello, little squirrel," Lily said softly. "Don't be scared. I won't hurt you. I have more peanuts for you. Come closer, please." + +The squirrel hesitated, but he decided to give Lily a chance. He took a step towards her and reached for the peanut. Lily threw another one and another one, until the squirrel was close enough to touch. He felt Lily's hand on his head and he flinched. But Lily was gentle and kind. She stroked his fur and whispered, "You are a brave squirrel. You are a good squirrel. I like you." + +The squirrel felt something he had not felt in a long time. He felt warm and safe and happy. He nibbled on the peanuts and cuddled with Lily. He forgot about his scar and his fear. He had found a friend. + +Lily and the squirrel became best friends. They met every day in the park and shared peanuts and hugs. Lily taught the squirrel how to play and trust. The squirrel taught Lily how to be patient and compassionate. They learned from each other and they helped each other. They released their worries and their pain. They found joy and love. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind to those who are different or hurt. You might make a new friend and heal a broken heart. +Ben and Lily were playing with crayons. They liked to draw different things with many colors. Ben drew a big house with a red roof and a blue door. Lily drew a pretty flower with yellow petals and a green stem. + +"Look at my house!" Ben said. "It is very impressive. It has many windows and a chimney." + +"Look at my flower!" Lily said. "It is very impressive. It smells nice and has many seeds." + +They both thought their drawings were the best. They wanted to show them to their mom. + +But then, Ben saw Lily's flower. He did not like it. He thought it was too simple and boring. He wanted to make his house look better. He grabbed Lily's yellow crayon and tried to take it from her. + +"Hey, that is my crayon!" Lily said. "Give it back to me!" + +"No, I need it for my house!" Ben said. "It is too plain without yellow!" + +They pulled and tugged on the crayon. They did not listen to each other. They did not share. They did not care. + +Then, snap! The crayon broke in half. They both dropped the pieces. They both looked sad. + +They had ruined their crayon. They had ruined their drawings. They had ruined their fun. + +They heard their mom coming. They did not want to show her their drawings. They did not want to tell her what they did. They felt ashamed. + +Their mom saw their faces. She saw their drawings. She saw the broken crayon. She knew what happened. + +She hugged them and said, "I love your drawings. They are both very impressive. But you know what is more impressive? Being kind and respectful to each other. Sharing and caring are more important than colors and shapes. You are both my precious children. I want you to be happy and get along." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said sorry to each other. They said sorry to their mom. They hugged and made up. + +They learned their lesson. They decided to share their crayons and draw together. They made a new drawing with many colors and shapes. They made a rainbow and a sun. They made a heart and a smile. + +They showed their mom their new drawing. She smiled and said, "That is the most impressive drawing I have ever seen. You are both very creative and smart. But most of all, you are very loving and kind. I am very proud of you." + +Ben and Lily felt happy. They thanked their mom. They played with their crayons. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were playing with chalk on the sidewalk. They drew flowers, stars, and cars with different colors. Tom liked the blue chalk the best. He wanted to use it all the time. + +"Can I have the blue chalk, please?" Lily asked Tom. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom said. He held the blue chalk tightly in his hand. + +"But I want to draw a blue sky," Lily said. She reached for the chalk. + +Tom did not want to share. He pinched Lily's arm hard. Lily cried out in pain. + +"Ow! That hurts! Why did you pinch me?" Lily said. She rubbed her arm. + +Tom felt bad. He saw that he made Lily sad. He remembered that his mom told him to be nice to others. He said he was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was not nice. You can have the blue chalk. I can use another color," Tom said. + +Lily smiled. She took the blue chalk and thanked Tom. She drew a blue sky and a sun. She gave Tom the yellow chalk. He drew a sunflower. + +They played with chalk until they were tired. They went inside to have a snack. They shared their cookies and milk. They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Pinching is not nice. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But Tom was not careful. He ran too fast and fell down. He hurt his knee and it was bleeding. He cried and cried. + +Sara saw Tom and ran to him. She said, "Don't cry, Tom. I will help you." She took out a bandage from her pocket and put it on Tom's knee. She said, "This will make it better. It will stop the blood and the pain." + +Tom stopped crying and looked at Sara. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. You are very kind." He smiled and hugged Sara. + +Sara said, "You are welcome, Tom. But you have to be more careful. You have to watch where you are going. You don't want to get hurt again, do you?" + +Tom said, "No, I don't. I promise I will be more careful. I promise I will not run too fast or fall down again." + +Sara said, "Good. I promise I will always help you if you need me. I promise I will always be your friend." + +They hugged again and went back to play. They had fun and they were happy. They kept their promises and they were careful. They learned that being kind and helpful is good. They learned that being careful is good. They learned that being friends is good. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play at the shore, where they could find shells, rocks and sand. They were very creative and made many things with what they found. They made a castle, a necklace, a boat and a fish. + +One day, they found a big shell that was shiny and pink. They opened it and saw a pearl inside. They were very happy and excited. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It is so pretty and round. Can we keep it?" + +"Yes, we can!" Lila said. "It is our treasure. We can share it. You can have it today and I can have it tomorrow." + +They hugged and smiled. Then they did something they had never done before. They kissed each other on the cheek. They felt shy and happy at the same time. + +They put the pearl back in the shell and buried it in the sand. They marked the spot with a stick. They decided to come back the next day and play with it again. + +They held hands and walked back to their parents, who were waiting for them. They told them about their adventure and their treasure. Their parents were proud and happy for them. They gave them a big kiss and a hug. They said they were very creative and sweet. Lila and Ben felt loved and lucky. They had a wonderful day at the shore. +Ben likes to play with his guitar. He has a big guitar that his dad gave him. He likes to twist the strings and make sounds. Sometimes he sings along with his guitar. He sings songs about his toys, his friends, and his dog. + +One day, Ben wants to play with his guitar, but he cannot find it. He looks in his room, but his guitar is not there. He looks in the living room, but his guitar is not there. He looks in the kitchen, but his guitar is not there. He feels sad and wonders where his guitar is. + +He asks his mom, "Mom, where is my guitar?" His mom says, "I don't know, Ben. Maybe you left it somewhere." Ben thinks hard and remembers that he played with his guitar in the garden yesterday. He runs to the garden and sees his guitar lying on the grass. He is happy and picks up his guitar. + +But when he twists the strings, he hears no sounds. He looks at his guitar and sees that it is empty. Someone took the strings out of his guitar. He feels angry and wonders who did it. He sees his dog, Spot, sitting nearby. Spot has something shiny in his mouth. It is the strings from Ben's guitar. Spot looks guilty and wags his tail. + +Ben says, "Spot, you are a bad dog! You took my guitar strings! Now I cannot play with my guitar!" Spot drops the strings and licks Ben's face. He tries to say sorry. Ben is still angry, but he loves his dog. He says, "Spot, you have to give me back my guitar strings. And you have to promise not to do it again." Spot nods and barks. Ben takes the strings and puts them back in his guitar. He twists the strings and makes sounds again. He sings a song about his guitar and his dog. He forgives Spot and hugs him. He is happy again. +Lily liked to imagine things. She imagined she was a princess, a pirate, a fairy, or a doctor. She imagined she had a big castle, a ship, a wand, or a stethoscope. She imagined she had many friends, animals, toys, or books. + +One day, she found a tap in the garden. It was old and ugly. It was rusty and dirty. It had a crack and a leak. Lily did not like the tap. She wanted to imagine something else. + +But then, she heard a voice. It came from the tap. It said, "Hello, Lily. I am a magic tap. I can make your dreams come true. Just tell me what you want, and I will give it to you." + +Lily was surprised and curious. She wondered if the tap was telling the truth. She decided to try it. She said, "I want a beautiful dress, a crown, and a necklace." + +The tap made a noise. It spurted water. And then, Lily saw a dress, a crown, and a necklace on the grass. They were shiny and pretty. Lily was happy. She put them on. She felt like a princess. + +She thanked the tap. She said, "You are not ugly. You are wonderful. You are my friend." The tap smiled. It said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are kind and smart. You are my friend, too." +Tom and Lily wanted to play with snow. They saw snow on the TV and it looked fun. They asked their mom if they could go outside and make snowmen. Their mom said no, it was too hot outside. There was no snow in their town. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They had an idea. They went to the kitchen and got ice from the freezer. They put the ice in a big bowl and took it to their room. They tried to make snowmen with the ice, but it was hard. The ice was cold and wet and slippery. They got their hands and clothes wet. + +They did not give up. They got more ice and put it on the floor. They tried to make a big pile of ice. They wanted to make a snow fort. They got their toys and put them in the ice. They pretended they were in a snow land. + +But the ice started to melt. The ice became water. The water got everywhere. It got on the bed and the books and the pictures. It got on the carpet and the walls and the door. It made a big mess. + +Their mom heard the water and came to their room. She saw the mess and got angry. She yelled at Tom and Lily. She said they were naughty and silly. She said they had to clean up the mess and go to bed. She took away their toys and their ice. She turned off the TV. + +Tom and Lily were sorry. They cried and said they were sorry. They wanted to play with snow, but they made a big mistake. They did not have fun. They had a bad day. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big pot under a tree. It was unusual, because it had many colors and shapes on it. They wanted to get the pot and see what was inside. + +They ran to the pot and tried to lift it, but it was too heavy. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move. They wondered if there was something good in the pot, like candy or toys. They did not listen to their mom, who called them to come inside. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the pot. It was a snake, who had been sleeping inside. The snake was angry, because the twins had disturbed him. He came out of the pot and hissed at them. He had sharp teeth and a long tail. He looked scary. + +Tom and Lily were very afraid. They screamed and ran away from the pot. They ran to their mom, who hugged them and took them inside. She told them that they should not touch things that they did not know, because they could be dangerous. She said that they should listen to her, because she loved them and wanted them to be safe. + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They said sorry to their mom and to the snake. They never played with the unusual pot again. They played with their own toys and had fun. They were happy and good. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big green truck near the swings. The truck had a sign that said "Candy Shop". Tom and Mia gazed at the truck with wide eyes. They loved candy, especially sugar. + +"Can we go and see the candy, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe later, sweeties. Let's play on the swings first," Mom said. + +Tom and Mia nodded, but they kept looking at the truck. They wondered what kind of candy was inside. They hoped there were lollipops, gummies, and chocolates. + +After a while, Mom said, "Okay, kids, time to go home. Do you want to stop by the candy truck on the way?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Tom and Mia shouted. + +They ran to the truck with Mom. The truck had a window where a man was selling candy. He smiled at Tom and Mia. + +"Hello, little ones. What can I get you?" he asked. + +Tom and Mia looked at the candy. There were so many colors and shapes. They wanted to try them all. + +"I want a green lollipop, please," Tom said. + +"I want a pink gummy bear, please," Mia said. + +The man gave them their candy and took Mom's money. He also gave them a sticker that said "Candy Shop". + +"Thank you, sir," Tom and Mia said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your candy and have a nice day," the man said. + +Tom and Mia licked their candy and smiled. They put the sticker on their shirts. They were so happy. + +They did not notice that the candy was not really candy. It was made of soap and glue. The man was not really a candy seller. He was a prankster who liked to trick people. He laughed as he drove away. + +Tom and Mia soon found out that their candy was not sweet. It was bitter and sticky. They spit it out and cried. + +"Mom, this is not candy. This is yucky," Tom said. + +"Mom, this is not candy. This is icky," Mia said. + +Mom looked at the candy and the sticker. She realized that they had been fooled. She felt angry and sorry. + +"Oh, no, kids. I'm so sorry. This is not candy. This is a bad joke. Someone tricked us," Mom said. + +She hugged Tom and Mia and wiped their mouths. She threw away the candy and the sticker. + +"Let's go home, kids. I'll make you some real candy. Some sugar cookies with sprinkles. How does that sound?" Mom said. + +Tom and Mia nodded. They still felt sad and mad, but they also felt hungry and hopeful. + +"Okay, Mom. We love you," Tom and Mia said. + +They held Mom's hand and walked home. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful of strangers and their candy. They also learned to appreciate Mom's sugar cookies. They were the best candy in the world. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big blue tent. They want to enter the tent and see what is inside. + +"Can we go in the tent?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is someone's home. Maybe they don't like visitors." Tom says. + +"Let's ask them. Maybe they are nice. Maybe they have toys." Lily says. + +They walk to the tent and say hello. A woman comes out of the tent. She has a smile and a hat. + +"Hello, children. Do you want to enter my tent?" She asks. + +"Yes, please. Can we?" Lily and Tom say. + +"Sure, you can. But only for a minute. I have to pack soon. I am going to another park." She says. + +She lets them enter the tent. They see a bed, a lamp and a bag. They also see a dog. The dog is small and brown. It wags its tail and licks their faces. + +"Hello, dog. What is your name?" Lily asks. + +"His name is Spot. He likes to travel with me. We go to many parks and meet many people." The woman says. + +"That sounds fun. We like to play in the park too. But we live in a house, not a tent." Tom says. + +"Everyone has a different home. But we can all be friends." The woman says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They pet Spot and thank the woman. They exit the tent and wave goodbye. They go back to their slide, swing and run. They are happy. They have a new friend. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big truck. The truck has a shovel. The truck can dig holes. The truck is working. + +"Wow, look at the truck!" Lily says. "It is so big and strong!" + +"Yes, it is!" Sam says. "I want to work like the truck!" + +They run to the truck. They see a man. The man is driving the truck. The man is wearing a hat and a vest. The man is hot and tired. + +"Hello, kids!" the man says. "Do you like my truck?" + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Sam say. "Can we work with you?" + +The man smiles. "Sorry, kids, but this is not a game. This is a job. I have to dig holes for the pipes. It is hard work. You have to be careful. The truck is loud and dirty. And it is very hot today. You should stay away from the truck." + +Lily and Sam are sad. They want to work like the truck. But they understand. The truck is not a toy. The truck is a tool. The man is doing his job. + +"OK, we understand," Lily says. "Thank you for telling us." + +"Yes, thank you," Sam says. "Can we watch you work?" + +The man nods. "Sure, you can watch. But stay behind the fence. And drink some water. You don't want to get too hot or tired." + +Lily and Sam nod. They go behind the fence. They drink some water. They watch the truck work. They think the truck is amazing. They think the man is brave. They clap and cheer for the truck and the man. They have fun. They learn something new. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many toys and a swing. One day, they found a big tire in the corner of the yard. They decided to roll it around and have fun. + +"Look, Sam, I can push the tire very fast!" Ben said. He ran behind the tire and pushed it with all his might. The tire rolled down the hill and bumped into a fence. + +"Wow, Ben, that was cool!" Sam said. He ran after the tire and tried to push it back up the hill. But the tire was too heavy and he fell down. + +"Help me, Ben, I can't lift the tire!" Sam cried. Ben ran to his brother and tried to help him. But the tire was too heavy for both of them. + +They heard a loud noise from the other side of the fence. It was their neighbor, Mr. Lee, who was very angry. He had a big garden with many flowers and vegetables. The tire had smashed some of his plants and made a mess. + +"Who did this? Who rolled this tire into my garden?" Mr. Lee shouted. He saw Ben and Sam behind the fence and pointed at them. "You two! You are in big trouble! Come here right now!" + +Ben and Sam were scared. They did not want to face Mr. Lee. They thought of running away, but they knew it was wrong. They decided to march to Mr. Lee and say sorry. + +"Mr. Lee, we are very sorry. We did not mean to hurt your garden. We were just playing with the tire. Please forgive us," Ben said. + +"Sorry is not enough. You have to pay for the damage. You have to work in my garden for a week. You have to weed, water, and plant. And you have to be cheerful and respectful. Do you understand?" Mr. Lee said. + +Ben and Sam nodded. They felt very bad. They wished they had not played with the tire. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with other people's things. They learned to be responsible for their actions. They learned to be sorry and to make up for their mistakes. +Sara and Ben were eager to unpack their bags. They had just moved to a new house with Mom and Dad on Tuesday. They wanted to see their new rooms and play with their toys. + +"Can we unpack now, Mom?" Sara asked. She held her pink bag with her dolls and books. + +"Yes, you can, sweetie. But be careful with the stairs. They are very steep," Mom said. She smiled and gave Sara a hug. + +"Come on, Sara, let's go!" Ben said. He grabbed his blue bag with his cars and puzzles. He ran up the stairs with Sara behind him. + +They reached the second floor and saw two doors. One had a sign that said "Sara" and the other had a sign that said "Ben". They opened their doors and gasped. + +Their rooms were big and bright. They had windows that looked out at the garden and the street. They had beds with colorful covers and pillows. They had shelves and drawers for their clothes and toys. + +"Wow, this is awesome!" Ben said. He dropped his bag on the floor and started to unpack his cars. He lined them up on the shelf and made engine noises. + +"I love it!" Sara said. She put her bag on the bed and unpacked her dolls. She arranged them on the pillows and gave them names. + +They were so happy and busy that they didn't hear Mom calling them for dinner. They only stopped when they smelled the pizza and heard Dad knocking on their doors. + +"Time to eat, kids!" Dad said. He peeked into their rooms and smiled. "You did a great job unpacking. Your rooms look lovely." + +"Thanks, Dad!" Sara and Ben said. They ran to hug him and followed him downstairs. + +They ate the pizza and salad and talked about their new house and school. They were eager to explore more and make new friends. They felt lucky and grateful for their new home. +Tim and his dog Spot like to go for walks in the park. Tim has a leash for Spot, but he does not always use it. Sometimes he lets Spot run free and chase the birds and the squirrels. Tim thinks this is fun, but his mom does not. She says Spot must behave and stay on the leash. + +One day, Tim and Spot go to the park with mom. Mom tells Tim to put the leash on Spot, but Tim says no. He says Spot is a good dog and he will not run away. Mom says okay, but she warns Tim to watch Spot carefully. She says there are many cars and people in the park, and Spot could get hurt or lost. + +Tim and Spot start to play in the grass. Spot sees a big red ball and runs after it. He is very fast and he catches the ball in his mouth. He is happy and he wags his tail. But then he sees a cat and he drops the ball. He runs after the cat, barking loudly. He is faster than the cat and he almost catches it. But the cat jumps over a fence and escapes. Spot is sad and he whines. + +Tim sees Spot running after the cat. He is scared and he calls Spot. He says "Spot, come back! Spot, stop!" But Spot does not hear him. He is too far away and he is too busy. Tim runs after Spot, but he is not fast enough. He loses sight of Spot and he does not know where he is. He is worried and he cries. + +Mom hears Tim crying and she runs to him. She asks him what is wrong. Tim tells her that Spot ran away and he can not find him. He says he is sorry and he should have used the leash. Mom hugs him and says it is okay. She says they will find Spot and they will be careful next time. She says she loves him and Spot, and they are a family. She says they will behave and stay on the leash. Tim nods and says he loves her and Spot, too. He says he hopes Spot is okay and he wants to see him again. Mom says they will, and they start to look for Spot. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. Lily saw a red tomato on a green plant. She wanted to pick it and eat it. + +"Look, Ben, a tomato!" she said. "Can I have it?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, you have to listen. Mom said we have to wait until they are all red. Then we can have some for lunch." + +Lily pouted. She was hungry and the tomato looked yummy. She reached for it with her hand. + +"Stop, Lily!" Ben said. "You will hurt the plant. And look, there is a furry bug on the tomato. It might bite you." + +Lily looked and saw a small, fuzzy caterpillar crawling on the tomato. She was scared and pulled her hand back. She did not like bugs. + +"Yuck, a bug!" she said. "I don't want the tomato anymore." + +Ben smiled. He was glad Lily listened to him. He liked to take care of the plants and the bugs. He knew they were part of nature. + +"Good, Lily," he said. "Let's go and find something else to play with. Maybe we can make a mud pie or a flower crown." + +Lily nodded. She liked to play with Ben. He was her big brother and he knew many things. She followed him to another part of the garden. They had fun until Mom called them for lunch. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see many flowers in the grass. Sara likes the yellow ones. Ben likes the red ones. They pick some flowers and hold them in their hands. + +"Look, Sara, I have a big red flower. It is pretty," Ben says. + +"I have a big yellow flower. It is pretty too," Sara says. + +They run and laugh and show their flowers to each other. They are happy. + +But then, Sara feels something sharp in her hand. She cries out loud. "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" + +Ben runs to her and sees a bee on her hand. The bee has stung Sara. He drops his flower and tries to help her. + +"Shoo, shoo, bee! Go away! You are bad! You hurt Sara!" Ben says. + +He blows on the bee and it flies away. He takes Sara's hand and looks at it. There is a small red spot on it. He kisses it gently. + +"It's okay, Sara. It will get better soon. I'm sorry the bee hurt you," Ben says. + +Sara stops crying and smiles at Ben. She hugs him and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are good. You help Sara." + +They pick up their flowers and hold them again. They walk to their mom and dad and show them their flowers. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad hug them and say, "You are brave, Sara. You are kind, Ben. We are proud of you." + +They give them some ice cream and some water. They sit on a bench and eat their ice cream and look at their flowers. They are happy again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and smell the flowers. They saw a hose on the grass. Lily wanted to play with it. + +"Can we use the hose, Ben?" she asked. + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily. The hose is for watering the plants. Mommy said we can't touch it." + +Lily pouted. She did not like that answer. She wanted to make water come out of the hose. She thought it would be fun. + +She waited until Ben was looking at a butterfly. Then she grabbed the hose and turned the knob. Water sprayed out of the hose. Lily laughed. + +"Look, Ben! Look at the water!" she shouted. + +Ben turned around and saw Lily with the hose. He was angry. He did not like to get wet. + +"Lily, stop it! You are making a mess!" he yelled. + +He ran to Lily and tried to take the hose from her. They both pulled on the hose. They did not see the grumpy cat that was sleeping under the tree. + +The cat woke up and saw the water. He did not like water. He did not like noise. He did not like children. He was very grumpy. + +He jumped out of his spot and ran to the hose. He bit the hose with his sharp teeth. The hose made a loud sound and stopped working. The water stopped. + +Lily and Ben dropped the hose and looked at the cat. They recognized the cat. It was Mr. Whiskers, the neighbor's cat. He was always grumpy. + +They were scared of Mr. Whiskers. He hissed and scratched and chased them. They ran away from the hose and the cat. They ran to the house. + +They told Mommy what happened. Mommy was not happy. She said they had to say sorry to the neighbor and to Mr. Whiskers. She said they had to be careful with the hose. She said they had to play nicely. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry. They did not want to play with the hose anymore. They did not want to see Mr. Whiskers anymore. They wanted to play with something else. Something that did not make them wet or grumpy. +Sara likes to play with her beads. She has many beads of different colors and shapes. She can make necklaces and bracelets with them. She likes to add more beads to her chain and see how long it can be. + +One day, Sara finds a new bead in her box. It is shiny and round and has a star on it. Sara thinks it is very pretty. She wants to add it to her chain. She looks for a place to put it. She sees a gap between two blue beads. She thinks it will fit there. + +She tries to put the star bead in the gap. But it is hard. The bead is too big. It does not go through the hole. Sara pushes and pulls, but it does not work. She feels sad and angry. She wants to have the star bead on her chain. + +She hears her mom calling her. It is time for a nap. Sara does not want to nap. She wants to play with her beads. She says no to her mom. She says she is not sleepy. But her mom knows better. She says Sara needs to rest her eyes and her mind. + +She picks up Sara and carries her to her bed. She tucks her in and kisses her. She tells her she can play with her beads later. She says maybe they can find a way to make the star bead fit on her chain. She says she loves her and leaves the room. + +Sara feels her mom's kiss and hears her words. She feels a little better. She still wants to play with her beads, but she also feels sleepy. She closes her eyes and holds her chain. She dreams of making beautiful things with her beads. She smiles in her sleep. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and share. But they also like candy. One day, Mom gives them a big bag of candy. She says, "You can have one candy each, but you have to listen to me. No more candy until after dinner, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Okay, Mom." They each pick a candy and eat it. It is sweet and yummy. They want more. But Mom is busy in the kitchen. She does not see them. + +Lily and Ben sneak to the bag of candy. They each take another candy and eat it. Then they take another one. And another one. They eat and eat. They do not listen to Mom. + +Soon, the bag of candy is empty. Lily and Ben feel sick. Their tummies hurt. They are fat. They do not want to play. They lie on the couch and groan. + +Mom comes to the living room. She sees the empty bag of candy. She sees Lily and Ben. She is angry. She says, "Lily and Ben, you did not listen to me. You ate all the candy. Now you are sick and fat. That is not good. You have to learn to listen and share. No more candy for you for a long time." + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were bad. We will listen and share next time. Please forgive us." + +Mom hugs them and says, "I forgive you, but you have to be careful. Candy is not good for you. You have to eat healthy food and play outside. That will make you happy and strong. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. Now let's go and have some soup and bread. That will make you feel better." +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She saw a caterpillar on a leaf and wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand, but the leaf was too high. She tried to balance on a rock, but she slipped and fell. She scraped her knee and started to cry. + +Tom was a little boy who heard Lily's cry. He ran to the garden and saw her on the ground. He asked her what happened and she pointed to the caterpillar. Tom saw the caterpillar and smiled. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. I can help you. The caterpillar is not going anywhere. It is helpless on the leaf. It cannot fly or run. It can only crawl slowly. It is waiting for a change. One day, it will become a butterfly and fly away. But now, it is happy to be on the leaf and eat the green stuff. It does not need us to touch it. It needs us to leave it alone." + +Lily stopped crying and looked at Tom. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. You know a lot about caterpillars. I did not know they can become butterflies. That is amazing. I want to see that. But I will not bother the caterpillar anymore. I will let it be. I will watch it from far away. Maybe it will balance on the leaf and show me its colors." + +Tom nodded and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are very smart. You learned a lesson today. Sometimes, the best way to help someone is to let them be. Sometimes, the best way to balance is to stay on the ground. Sometimes, the best way to enjoy something is to look at it with wonder. Come on, let's go and get a band-aid for your knee. Then we can come back and watch the caterpillar together." + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, Tom. Let's go. You are my friend. I like you. And I like the caterpillar too. It is beautiful. Maybe it will say hello to us when it becomes a butterfly." + +The end. +Lily liked to play in her room with her toys. She had a pink doll, a pink ball, and a pink dress. She liked pink very much. One day, she heard a noise under her bed. She was scared. She thought it was a ghost. + +She ran to her mom and told her what she heard. Her mom smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Lily. There is no ghost under your bed. It is just your cat, Fluffy. He likes to hide under your bed and make noises. He is very silly." + +Lily and her mom went back to her room. They looked under the bed and saw Fluffy. He was white and fluffy, but he had some pink paint on his fur. He had been playing with Lily's pink ball and got messy. Lily laughed and said, "You are not a ghost, Fluffy. You are a pink cat." + +She picked up Fluffy and gave him a kiss. Fluffy purred and licked her face. Lily was happy. She said, "I love you, Fluffy. You are my best friend." She put Fluffy on her bed and played with him and her pink toys. She was not scared anymore. She had fun. +Lily liked to examine things. She liked to look at them, touch them, smell them, and sometimes taste them. She wanted to know everything about them. She was very curious. + +One day, she saw a big cabinet in the living room. It was brown and shiny, and had many doors and drawers. Lily wondered what was inside. She decided to examine it. + +She opened the first door and saw some books. She opened the second door and saw some dishes. She opened the third door and saw some toys. She was very happy. She took out some toys and played with them on the floor. + +But she did not know that the cabinet was not very strong. It was old and wobbly, and had a crack on the back. When Lily opened the fourth door, the cabinet tilted and fell over. It made a loud noise and broke some dishes. Lily was scared and cried. + +Her mom heard the noise and ran to the living room. She saw the mess and Lily. She was angry and worried. She hugged Lily and checked if she was hurt. She was not hurt, but she was very sorry. She said sorry to her mom and helped her clean up. She learned to be more careful when she examined things. +Sara was very happy. Her grandma was coming to visit. Grandma always brought Sara a big chocolate bar. Sara loved chocolate. She wanted to eat it all. + +But Sara had a little brother, Ben. Ben also liked chocolate. He wanted to share Sara's chocolate bar. Sara did not want to share. She said, "No, Ben. This is my chocolate. Go away." + +Ben was sad. He cried. He said, "That's not fair, Sara. You are spoiled. You have to share." + +Mom heard Ben crying. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara holding the chocolate bar. She saw Ben with tears in his eyes. She said, "Sara, what are you doing? Why are you making Ben cry?" + +Sara said, "Mom, this is my chocolate. Grandma gave it to me. I don't have to share." + +Mom said, "Sara, that's not nice. You have to be kind to your brother. Sharing is caring. If you don't share, your chocolate will melt." + +Sara looked at her chocolate bar. It was warm and soft. It was starting to melt. She did not want to lose her chocolate. She said, "OK, Mom. I will share. But only a little bit." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good, Sara. Here, I will cut the chocolate bar in half. You can have one half, and Ben can have the other half." + +Sara gave Ben half of her chocolate bar. Ben stopped crying. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are nice." + +Sara said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are nice, too." + +They ate their chocolate together. They were happy. Grandma came to visit. She hugged them both. She said, "I'm proud of you, Sara and Ben. You are good children." +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They were very happy. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It came from the house. They ran to see what it was. They saw their mom in the kitchen. She was holding an iron. The iron was hot and steamy. It had burned a hole in a shirt. Their mom looked pale and scared. + +"Mom, what happened?" Anna asked. + +"I was ironing your dad's shirt, but I forgot to shut the iron off. It got too hot and burned the shirt. Now your dad will be angry with me. He needs the shirt for work tomorrow." Their mom said. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for their mom. They wanted to help her. They had an idea. + +"Mom, don't be sad. We have a gift for you. Come with us." Ben said. + +They took their mom to the garden. They showed her their bucket. It was full of bugs. There were worms, beetles, spiders, and snails. They had collected them all. + +"Look, mom. We found these for you. They are your new friends. You can play with them and forget about the shirt." Anna said. + +Their mom smiled. She hugged them and thanked them. She was not pale anymore. She was happy. + +"Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very sweet and thoughtful. I love you and your gift. But maybe we should let the bugs go back to their homes. They might not like the bucket very much." She said. + +They agreed. They let the bugs go. They watched them crawl and fly away. They felt good. They had made their mom happy. They went back to the house. They shut the iron off. They ate some cookies. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play together every day. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was empty and had a hole on one side. + +"Let's make a fort with the box!" said Anna. + +"OK, but we need some blankets and pillows to make it comfortable," said Ben. + +They ran to their room and got some blankets and pillows. They dragged them to the garage and put them inside the box. They crawled through the hole and made a cozy nest. + +"This is our secret fort," said Anna. "No one can find us here." + +They felt happy and safe in their fort. They pretended they were on an adventure in a faraway land. They told each other stories and jokes. They laughed and hugged. + +But they did not know that their mom was looking for them. She wanted to take them to the park. She searched the house and the yard, but she could not see them. She started to feel worried and scared. + +"Anna! Ben! Where are you?" she called. + +She heard a muffled giggle from the garage. She followed the sound and saw the box. She smiled and lifted the flap. + +"Boo!" she said. + +Anna and Ben screamed and then laughed. They saw their mom and felt surprised and happy. + +"Mom, this is our fort," said Ben. + +"It's very nice," said mom. "But how about we go to the park now? It's a beautiful day." + +"OK, mom," said Anna. "But can we bring our fort with us?" + +"Sure, why not?" said mom. "But you have to help me carry it." + +They agreed and got out of the box. They helped mom load it in the car. They drove to the park and set up their fort under a tree. They played in their fort and on the swings and slides. They had a lot of fun. + +They felt glad they had a fort and a mom who loved them. They felt comfortable and happy. It was a good day. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to search for bugs and leaves and rocks. They had a club where they showed each other what they found. They called it the Bug Club. + +One day, they saw a big, furry animal in the bushes. It had long ears and a fluffy tail. Sara and Ben thought it was a bunny. They wanted to catch it and make it their club pet. + +"Look, Ben, a bunny!" Sara said. "Let's go get it!" + +They ran towards the bushes, holding their nets. The furry animal heard them and turned around. It was not a bunny. It was a skunk. + +The skunk was scared and angry. It lifted its tail and sprayed a stinky liquid at Sara and Ben. They got hit in the face and clothes. They screamed and dropped their nets. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck!" Sara cried. "It's not a bunny, it's a skunk!" + +"Run, run, run!" Ben shouted. "It smells so bad!" + +They ran away from the skunk, but it was too late. They were covered in the stinky liquid. They smelled so bad that no one wanted to play with them. Not even their club friends. + +They had to go home and take a bath. They had to throw away their nets and clothes. They had to say sorry to their mom and dad. They had to stay inside for a long time. + +They learned a hard lesson. They should not chase furry animals in the bushes. They should not judge by looks. They should be careful and respectful of nature. + +They were very sad. They wished they had never seen the skunk. They wished they had stayed with their club. They wished they had a real bunny. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of dinosaurs and a small hill of dirt. They pretended the hill was a volcano and the dinosaurs lived near it. + +One day, a new dinosaur came to the volcano. He was very big and ugly. He had sharp teeth and claws and a spiky tail. He roared and stomped and scared the other dinosaurs. He wanted to eat them all. + +Sam and Lily did not like the ugly dinosaur. They wanted to help the other dinosaurs. They looked for something to make him go away. They saw a bucket of water and a hose. They had an idea. + +They filled the bucket with water and carried it to the hill. They hid behind a bush and waited for the ugly dinosaur to come near. When he did, they threw the water on the hill. The water made the dirt wet and muddy. The hill started to shake and bubble. + +The ugly dinosaur was surprised. He thought the volcano was angry. He saw steam and mud coming out of the hill. He was afraid. He ran away as fast as he could. + +Sam and Lily cheered. They had saved the other dinosaurs. They offered them some of their toys and snacks. The other dinosaurs were happy and grateful. They became friends and played together. Sam and Lily smiled. They had a lot of fun. +One day, a raven saw a shiny thing on the ground. He flew down to get it. It was a ring. He liked the ring. He put it on his beak. + +Then, he saw a girl. She was crying. She had lost her ring. She looked for it everywhere. She could not find it. + +The raven felt sorry for the girl. He wanted to help her. He flew to her and said, "Please, do not cry. I have your ring. Here, take it." + +The girl looked up and saw the raven. She was confused. She did not know how the raven got her ring. She did not know why the raven was talking to her. She did not know if the raven was nice or mean. + +But she saw the ring on his beak. She was happy. She said, "Thank you, raven. You are very kind. How did you find my ring?" + +The raven said, "I saw it on the ground. I thought it was pretty. I did not know it was yours. I am sorry. I hope you are not mad at me." + +The girl said, "No, I am not mad at you. I am glad you gave it back to me. You are a good raven. Can we be friends?" + +The raven said, "Yes, we can be friends. I like you. You are nice. Can I have a hug?" + +The girl said, "Yes, you can have a hug. Come here." + +The girl and the raven hugged. They smiled. They were happy. They were friends. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a shiny penny on the floor. They were very happy and decided to buy some candy with it. + +They went to the store and saw many kinds of candy. They wanted to try them all, but they only had one penny. They asked the man who worked at the store, "Can we have some candy for one penny?" + +The man looked at them and smiled. He said, "Sure, you can have some candy for one penny. But you have to share it, okay?" He gave them a small piece of candy and took their penny. + +Tom and Sue thanked the man and walked away. They were excited to taste the candy. They broke it in half and each took a bite. They expected it to be sweet and yummy, but it was not. It was bitter and yucky. They spit it out and made faces. + +They felt sick and sad. They wished they had not given their penny to the man. They thought he was charming, but he was not. He was mean and tricked them. They did not enjoy the candy at all. They learned a hard lesson: not everything that shines is good. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the farm. They saw many animals and plants there. One day, they found a big pile of corn in a barn. They wanted to eat some, because corn was yummy. + +"Let's take some corn and run away," Tom said. "No one will see us." + +But Sara was not sure. She knew that corn was important for the farmer and the animals. She said, "No, Tom, we should not do that. That is bad. The farmer works hard to grow the corn. The animals need the corn to eat. If we take the corn, they will have less. They will be sad and hungry." + +Tom did not listen to Sara. He said, "You are silly, Sara. There is so much corn here. They will not miss a few. Come on, it will be fun." He grabbed some corn and ran out of the barn. + +Sara followed Tom, but she felt bad. She wished Tom would listen to her. She saw a big bird in the sky. It was a hawk. It had sharp eyes and claws. It liked to eat small animals and birds. Sara was afraid of the hawk. She said, "Tom, look, there is a hawk. It can see us. It can fly fast and catch us. We should hide." + +But Tom did not listen to Sara. He said, "You are silly, Sara. The hawk is far away. It cannot see us. It cannot fly that fast. We are too big for it. Come on, let's eat the corn." He bit into the corn and smiled. + +But the hawk did see them. It did fly fast. It was hungry and wanted to eat them. It swooped down from the sky and grabbed Tom by his shirt. Tom screamed and dropped the corn. He tried to get away, but the hawk was strong. It lifted him up and flew away. + +Sara was shocked and scared. She ran back to the barn and hid. She cried and wished Tom was with her. She wished Tom had listened to her. She learned that it was wrong to take what was not theirs. She learned that it was important to be careful and listen to good advice. She hoped Tom would be okay. She hoped the hawk would let him go. She hoped he would learn his lesson too. +Lily liked to wander. She liked to see new things and meet new people. She did not like to stay in one place for too long. She did not like to listen to her mom and dad when they told her to stay close to them. + +One day, Lily and her family went to a big park. There were many trees and flowers and animals. Lily saw a big pond with ducks and swans. She wanted to feed them. She did not tell her mom and dad. She wandered away from them. She took some bread from her bag and went to the pond. + +The ducks and swans were hungry. They saw Lily with the bread. They came to her. They quacked and hissed. They wanted the bread. Lily was scared. She tried to run away. But she tripped and fell into the pond. The water was cold and deep. Lily could not swim. She cried for help. She put her thumb in her mouth. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. + +Her mom and dad heard her cry. They ran to the pond. They saw Lily in the water. They were very worried. They jumped into the pond. They tried to save her. But it was too late. Lily had drowned. She was gone. Her mom and dad were very sad. They hugged each other. They wished they had watched her better. + +The end. +Tom and Lily liked to play golf with their dad. They had a big bag of balls and sticks. They went to a green place with holes and flags. Dad showed them how to hit the balls with the sticks. Tom and Lily tried to do the same, but it was hard. + +"Look, Dad, I hit the ball!" Tom said. He was happy. + +"Good job, Tom!" Dad said. "Now, can you make the ball go in the hole?" + +Tom looked at the hole. It was far away. He hit the ball again, but it went to the side. He hit it again, but it went too high. He hit it again, but it went too low. + +"Oops, this is hard," Tom said. He was sad. + +Lily saw that Tom was sad. She was thoughtful. She wanted to help him. She had an idea. + +"Tom, I have an idea," Lily said. "Why don't you jump before you hit the ball?" + +"Jump?" Tom said. He was curious. + +"Yes, jump," Lily said. "Maybe it will make the ball go in the hole." + +Tom thought about it. He decided to try it. He jumped and hit the ball. The ball flew in the air. It landed near the hole. It rolled and rolled. It went in the hole! + +"Wow, it worked!" Tom said. He was amazed. + +"Yay, you did it!" Lily said. She was proud. + +"Good job, Tom!" Dad said. He was impressed. + +"Thank you, Lily!" Tom said. He was grateful. + +"You're welcome, Tom!" Lily said. She was happy. + +They hugged and smiled. They liked to play golf with their dad. They liked to help each other. They had fun. +Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to draw with pencils and paper. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big tree with lovely flowers. They wanted to draw the tree. + +"Can we draw the tree, Mom?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful of the bees. They might sting you," Mom said. + +Lila and Tom took their pencils and paper and went to the tree. They knelt on the grass and started to draw. They were happy. + +But then, a bee flew near Tom's ear. It buzzed loudly. Tom was scared. He dropped his pencil and ran away. He screamed, "Help! Help! A bee!" + +Lila was surprised. She looked at Tom. She saw the bee chasing him. She wanted to help him. She picked up his pencil and threw it at the bee. She hoped the pencil would hit the bee and make it go away. + +But the pencil did not hit the bee. It hit Tom's eye. Tom felt a sharp pain. He cried louder. He fell on the ground. He covered his eye with his hand. He was hurt. + +Lila was shocked. She did not mean to hurt Tom. She ran to him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry. I wanted to help you. I did not want to hurt you." + +But Tom did not hear her. He was too sad and angry. He pushed her away. He said, "Go away, Lila. You are not my friend. You are bad. You hurt me. Go away!" + +Lila felt sad and guilty. She did not know what to do. She ran to her mom. She cried, "Mom, I hurt Tom. I hurt him with a pencil. He hates me. He hates me." + +Mom hugged Lila. She said, "Oh, Lila. What happened? It was an accident. You did not mean to hurt Tom. He will be okay. He will forgive you. He is your friend." + +But Lila did not believe her. She thought Tom would never be her friend again. She thought she was bad. She wished she never threw the pencil. She wished she never went to the park. She wished she never saw the lovely tree. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a coin. Tom picked it up and showed it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, I found a coin!" Tom said. + +"What is a coin?" Lily asked. + +Tom tried to explain. "A coin is a round thing that you can use to buy things. Like ice cream or candy. You give the coin to the person who sells the things, and they give you the thing you want." + +Lily nodded. She wanted ice cream. She reached for the coin. "Can I have it?" she asked. + +Tom felt uncomfortable. He wanted to keep the coin. It was his find. But he also liked Lily. She was his friend. He did not want to make her sad. + +He thought for a moment. Then he had an idea. "How about we share it?" he suggested. "We can use the coin to buy one ice cream, and then we can split it in half. You can have one half, and I can have the other half. That way, we both get some ice cream, and we both get some coin." + +Lily smiled. She liked the idea. She liked ice cream. She liked Tom. She did not care much about the coin. She just wanted to play with him. + +"Okay, let's do that!" she agreed. + +They held hands and ran to the ice cream truck. They gave the coin to the ice cream man, and he gave them one big ice cream. They broke it in half and licked their halves happily. They were both glad they had found the coin. And they were both glad they had each other. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing, and run around. Mom sat on a bench and watched them. She had a big purse with her. She put it next to her on the bench. + +A man came to the park. He looked around and saw mom's purse. He thought it had money and things he wanted. He walked to the bench and grabbed the purse. He ran away very fast. + +Mom saw the man and shouted, "Hey, stop! That's my purse!" She got up and tried to chase him, but he was too fast. She was very worried. She had her phone, her keys, and her wallet in the purse. How would she get home? How would she call for help? + +Anna and Ben heard mom and saw the man. They were scared and angry. They wanted to help mom. They ran after the man, too. They were faster than mom, but not as fast as the man. They saw him go to a corner and hide behind a trash can. + +They had an idea. They pretended to keep running past the corner, but they stopped and hid behind a tree. They waited for the man to come out. When he did, they jumped on him and grabbed the purse. They yelled, "Give it back! It's not yours!" + +The man was surprised and scared. He dropped the purse and ran away. Anna and Ben picked up the purse and ran back to mom. They gave her the purse and hugged her. Mom was very happy and proud. She thanked them and checked the purse. Everything was still there. + +"You are so brave and smart!" mom said. "You solved the problem and got my purse back. I love you so much!" + +Anna and Ben smiled and said, "We love you, too, mom!" They were happy and relieved. They had a big adventure and learned a lesson. They decided to always watch out for mom's purse and for bad people. They went back to playing in the park, but this time, mom kept her purse close to her. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. Today they go to the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. He runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide. He slides down fast. He laughs. + +"Wait for me!" Mia says. She runs after Tom. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the slide. She slides down fast. She laughs too. + +They do it again and again. They have fun. They are happy. + +But then a big boy comes. He is grumpy. He does not like to share. He wants the slide for himself. + +"Go away!" he says to Tom and Mia. "This is my slide. You can't play here." + +Tom and Mia are sad. They do not want to go away. They like the slide. + +"No!" Tom says. "We were here first. You can't tell us what to do." + +The big boy is angry. He pushes Tom off the ladder. Tom falls down. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Mia is scared. She tries to help Tom. But the big boy pushes her too. She falls down. She hurts her elbow. She cries too. + +The big boy laughs. He jumps on the slide. He slides down fast. He does not care. + +Tom and Mia are hurt. They are sad. They are mad. They do not want to play anymore. They go home. They have a bad day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to look at the flowers. There were many colors and shapes of flowers, but their favorite was the sunflower. The sunflower was big and yellow and had a happy face. + +One day, they saw a bee flying near the sunflower. The bee was black and yellow and had a loud buzz. Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to see the bee closer. They ran towards the sunflower and the bee. + +"Hello, bee!" Tom said. "Can we play with you?" + +The bee did not like to be disturbed. He was busy collecting nectar from the sunflower. He did not want to play with Tom and Lily. He felt angry and scared. He zoomed away from the sunflower and towards Tom and Lily. + +"Go away, children!" the bee said. "This is my sunflower! You are too noisy and too close! You might hurt me or the sunflower!" + +Tom and Lily did not understand the bee. They thought he was rude and mean. They did not want to go away. They wanted to catch the bee and touch the sunflower. They kept running after the bee and the sunflower. + +The bee felt more angry and scared. He zoomed faster and faster. He tried to sting Tom and Lily to make them go away. Tom and Lily felt pain and fear. They cried and ran away from the bee and the sunflower. + +They ran back to their house. They told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and put some ice on their stings. She also explained to them why the bee was angry and scared. + +"The bee was not rude and mean, Tom and Lily," she said. "He was just doing his job. He was collecting nectar from the sunflower to make honey. He also helped the sunflower to grow more seeds. He was afraid that you would hurt him or the sunflower. He only stung you to protect himself and the sunflower." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for the bee and the sunflower. They realized that they were wrong to chase them and to touch them. They learned to respect the bee and the sunflower and to keep a safe distance from them. + +The next day, they went back to the garden. They saw the bee flying near the sunflower. They did not run after him or touch the sunflower. They waved at him and said sorry. + +"Hello, bee!" Tom said. "We are sorry for yesterday. We did not mean to bother you or the sunflower. We just wanted to see you closer. We think you are amazing and the sunflower is beautiful." + +The bee was surprised and happy. He saw that Tom and Lily were friendly and polite. He zoomed closer to them and said thank you. + +"Hello, children!" the bee said. "Thank you for your apology. I am sorry for stinging you. I was just afraid and angry. I think you are brave and kind. You can watch me and the sunflower, but please do not touch us. We are delicate and need space." + +Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They watched the bee and the sunflower from a safe distance. They learned to appreciate the bee and the sunflower and to share the garden with them. They also learned to zoom with their eyes, not with their hands. +Lily was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things and ask questions. She also liked to choose what to wear, what to eat and what to play. Sometimes, she chose things that made her happy, like her pink dress, her apple juice and her teddy bear. Sometimes, she chose things that made her trouble, like her brother's shirt, her dad's coffee and her mom's phone. + +One day, Lily saw a big red button on the wall. She wondered what it did. She wanted to choose to press it and see. She knew her mom and dad said not to touch it, but she was very curious. She thought it might make a funny sound, or a pretty light, or a fun game. She reached for the button and pushed it hard. + +But the button did not do what Lily expected. It made a loud alarm, and a scary voice, and a lot of smoke. Lily was scared and sorry. She had chosen to make a big trouble. She ran to her mom and dad and hugged them. They were angry and worried, but they also loved her. They told her the button was for emergencies, and she should never touch it again. They also told her she was a very intelligent girl, but she had to choose wisely and listen to them. Lily said she was sorry and she learned her lesson. She chose to be a good girl and not make trouble anymore. +Lily and Tom went to the shop with Mum. They wanted to buy a cake for Dad's birthday. Mum said they had to mind the shop rules. No running, no shouting, no touching things. + +The shop was very big and had many things. Lily and Tom saw toys, books, clothes, and candy. They wanted to look at everything, but Mum said they had to hurry. They had to find the cake and go home. + +They followed Mum to the cake section. There were many cakes, but only one was right for Dad. It was a chocolate cake with a long candle on top. Mum said it was perfect.
