The bird asked the animal for help, and the animal said he would try to rescue the feather. + +The bird watched as the silly animal jumped up and down, trying to reach the feather. But it was too high. The animal got very frustrated and the bird got scared. Then, suddenly, the silly animal grabbed the feather!

He had a frown on his face. + +"What are you doing with my shield?" the man asked impatiently. + +But Tommy was too scared to answer. + +The man sighed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm a magician and this is my magic shield. I just forgot to put it away." + +The man took the shield and waved his wand. In an instant, the shield was back to its normal size. + +Tommy was amazed. He smiled and thanked the man for sharing his magic with him. The man smiled back, and promised to show him more magic another time. +Once upon a time, there was a fat tank.

The tank felt so free and happy! + +The tank wiggled and wobbled it's way through the forest, meeting all sorts of animals along the way.

It was the most wonderful journey of its life! +Once upon a time, there was a cheerful purple ball. The ball just loved to bounce all day. He would bounce up and down, high and low, and up again.

So, he rolled and bounced all around until he came to a nearby park. As he rolled in, he saw many children playing. They were laughing and having so much fun. + +The purple ball rolled up to them and asked if they wanted to play with him. One of the children, a little girl, took the ball and tossed it in the air. The purple ball bounced back and forth with the little girl, higher than ever before. + +They kept playing, bouncing higher and higher through the park until the sun went down. When it was time to leave, the purple ball felt happy. He had found a new friend to bounce with, and he had never been so cheerful. +Molly and her dad were at the pet shop.

He talked to the shopkeeper and gave him the money. + +Molly couldn't contain her excitement as she and her dad took the tank home. She put it in her bedroom and started to show her dad all the fish she had put in the tank. There were three regular fish with blue and yellow scales. Molly was so excited that she promised to take care of them everyday. + +Molly kept her promise and made sure that she behaved and looked after the fish properly. She fed them and kept the tank clean. She loved her new pet fish and was very happy taking care of them. +Once upon a time there were two bears. One was small and one was big. The small bear was happy, but the big bear was angry. The big bear looked down at the small bear and said "Why are you so happy?". The small bear said nothing. The big bear became even more angry and said "I said why are you so happy?". + +The small bear tried to wipe away his tears, but he couldn’t stop crying. The big bear was so angry that he lifted his foot and stomped on the ground. The small bear was very scared and finally spoke, "I'm happy because I just found some honey!" + +The big bear thought for a moment and then said "That's ok, I won't be angry. Let’s both enjoy the honey together". The small bear was so relieved and happily wiped away his tears. + +The two bears shared the honey happily ever after. +Once there was a bear who was always angry. Every season of the year he would struggle to find a way to be happy. Every day he would grumble and growl until eventually the other animals became scared of him. + +One day, the sun was shining so the bear decided to take a walk. He looked around him and saw all the animals were enjoying the day and it made him curious. He asked one of the animals how they were able to stay so happy. + +The animal said, "Sometimes it feels like things are too hard, and it's ok to be angry. But you have to remember that it's important to find a way to be kind and help others, even when it feels like you can't." + +The bear thought about what he heard and decided to try it. Whenever he was feeling angry, he would go out and help the other animals. He gave them lots of hugs and shared his food with them. Soon the other animals no longer feared him, and he learned to find joy in each season. +Once upon a time, there was a duck who lived in a pond.

Suddenly a farmer came around the corner and said, "What do you think you're doing?" + +Jack looked up and said, "I'm hungry so I am taking some peanuts."

If you take some of my peanuts, you must promise to take care of them and put them back in the patch when you're done." + +Jack smiled and agreed. He thanked the farmer, put some peanuts back, and ate the rest. By the end of the day, Jack felt happy and full. + +The moral of this story is to trust others and respect the things around you.

She ran up to him, excited at the sight of the wild animal. + +“Good morning, Mr Bear! Can I eat some of your food too?†she asked. + +But the bear just shook his head. He didn’t want to share his food. + +The little girl was disappointed, but she understood the bear. She smiled, then said, “That’s OK. Maybe next time, you can seat and share the food with me.†+ +The bear was surprised. He thought for a moment, then nodded his head. The little girl was happy and said goodbye to the wild bear. + +The moral of the story is that it pays to be generous.

Sure enough, there were his shoes! But next him, on the table, was a big bowl of oats. + +Jack remembered one of his mother's favorite sayings; "It's always honest to share what we have with the people who need it."

It was gentle and floating in the air. + +John and Sue liked the pretty zigzag and wanted to play with it. So they tried to run after it. But no matter how fast they ran, the zigzag was too fast for them. + +John and Sue wanted to get closer to the zigzag, so they had a great idea. They each got a big stick and jumped very high in the air, waving their sticks at the zigzag. + +When they waved their sticks, the zigzag moved even slower. Now they could catch it! So they chased it gently. They ran, they jumped, and they waved their sticks in the air, trying to catch the zigzag. + +At last they did it! John and Sue both caught the zigzag and everybody was happy. They ran back inside, laughing and smiling. +John and his best friend, Jane, were playing in the park. Jane was always very energetic and loved to run around.

She ran to her dad's toolbox to look for something to fix it. She couldn't find anything, but then her dad showed her a little hammer.

He said that sharing is caring and it's more important to take care of your friends than to have something to eat. + +Layla was so touched by Pat's kind words that she smiled and said she was sorry.

Lily didn't know what an x-ray was, but she didn't like the sound of it. + +After the x-ray, the doctor showed Lily and her mom the picture. "See, Lily's tummy has a sour tummy bug. We will give her some medicine to make it better," said the doctor. + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, doctor. Now I can go home and play with my teddy bear again!" +Once upon a time, there was a big tower. It was very tall and had many floors. One day, a little boy went to the tower. He wanted to go inside, but the door was closed. He tried to open it, but it was too heavy. + +So, the little boy sat down and thought for a while. He remembered that he had a water bottle with him. He decided to soak the door with water. He poured the water on the door, and after a few minutes, the door opened! + +The little boy was very happy and went inside the tower. He climbed up the stairs to the top floor. But when he got there, he saw a big monster! The monster was angry and wanted to eat the little boy. But the little boy was brave. He poured his water bottle on the monster, and the monster turned into a friendly puppy. The little boy played with the puppy and had a great time in the tower. +Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Betsy. Betsy loved to eat squash. She would hop around the garden looking for the biggest and juiciest squash to munch on. + +One day, Betsy found the biggest squash she had ever seen. She was so enthusiastic about it that she started to nibble on it right away. But as she was eating, she heard a loud noise. It was a big bird coming to snatch her squash away! + +Betsy knew she had to act fast. She hopped away with her squash, trying to find a safe place to hide. She saw a dark hole in the ground and decided to go inside. She waited and waited, until she heard the bird fly away. Finally, the conflict had ended and Betsy was able to enjoy her delicious squash in peace. +Once upon a time, there was a big boat. The boat had a label that said "SS Big". The boat was going to sail across the ocean. + +The captain of the boat was a kind man. He had a big hat and a big smile. He said hello to all the passengers on the boat. + +The boat sailed for many days and nights. The waves were big and the wind was strong. But the boat was very strong too. It did not sink. + +Finally, the boat arrived at a beautiful island. The captain put a label on the island that said "Paradise Island". The passengers were very happy. They had a big party on the beach. They danced and sang all night long. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved playing with his toys and running around in the park. One day, Timmy fell down and hurt his knee. It hurt a lot and he started crying.
