This particular day, the family arrived at the park early. It was still dark outside and the father was feeling a bit fearful. + +The father said, “Let’s try to be quiet. I don’t want to wake the animals.†+ +The family started unpacking the picnic supplies.

One day Lily wanted to find something to do so she decided to get her jar from the cupboard and look for something interesting inside. + +She grabbed the jar and shook it. It felt heavy so she tipped it upside down and out popped a genie from the jar. The genie had a big smile on his face and asked little Lily what she wished for. + +Lily said "I want to play a fun game!" But the genie said, "I'm sorry, but I can't do that. Instead, here's a boring game." And with that he waved his wand and a giant rub-board appeared out of nowhere. + +The genie said, "You must rub the board until it's gone." Lily was excited at first, but after a while it became really boring. She kept on rubbing until she just couldn't do it anymore and went off to find something else to do. + +But when she came back, she was shocked to find that the rub-board was still there.

She said, "I don't have any food. But, if you help me go get some food, I will remind you always." + +So, the monster helped the little girl get food. They ate together and had a lot of fun. After that, every time the little girl needed help, the monster was there to remind her. And the monster became her best friend. + +From that day on, the little girl did not need to be scared of the monster anymore. The monster was no longer hungry or scary.

He asked, “What did I do that was so special?†+ +Mommy looked at him sadly and said, “Today was your first day of school.

Sue was badly injured and had to be taken to the hospital. She never got to visit the animals again. +One day, Jack and Lily were playing in the garden. Suddenly, Jack saw something glowing in the bushes. He was confused so he went to take a closer look. "What do you have there?"

Every day he did things he knew he shouldn't, like taking food from the other animals and grinding his sharp claws on their trunks. One day the naughty bear decided he wanted an egg. He asked his friend, the squirrel, if he could have an egg, but the squirrel said no. + +"Why not?" asked the naughty bear. + +The squirrel smiled and said, "Because eggs have to be earned, not taken. If you are willing to do good things for your friends, then you will receive an egg." + +The naughty bear thought about this and decided he wanted to try. He spent the next few days helping the animals in the forest with their chores. When he was done, he received an egg from the squirrel as a reward for being kind. + +From then on, the naughty bear remembered his lesson. He learned that kindness and cooperation can bring great rewards and that sometimes the most special things we receive come from being nice to others. +"Mommy, what is a wish?" asked Emma, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. +"A wish is an idea that your heart wishes for, Emma," her mother explained. +Emma thought for a moment before saying, "Mommy, can I make a wish?" +Her mother smiled as she replied, "Of course, but it's important to be dependable when making a wish." +"What does that mean?" Emma asked. +"It means that if you make a wish for something, you need to do whatever it takes to make it come true, whether it's hard work or patience.

I want to keep it forever!" + +So mom explained, "We can't keep it forever. Once your finger gets better, we'll take the bandage off." + +The little girl loved the colorful bandage, so she asked her mom, "Can I keep it a little longer?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, until it's time to take it off." +Once upon a time, there was a fierce family living in a wood. They loved each other very much and never argued. + +One day, the family decided to go for a walk in the woods. As they were walking, they heard an animal growling in the bushes. Suddenly, the animal jumped out and chased the family. They ran as fast as they could and soon the animal was out of sight. + +Back at home, the family were exhausted but safe. + +"That was a scary animal!", said the youngest kid. + +They all nodded in agreement. + +A few days later, the same animal returned to the woods.

Tom asked his mum. + +Mum looked at him and said, "Because it's important that you learn your history. It's the only way you will get wiser as you grow up." + +Tom knew that he had no choice and he reluctantly put his clothes on. As his mum closed the door after him, he felt a little bit guilty. + +But Tom knew he had to go to school and learn his history. So he followed his usual routine and went to his desk in the classroom. + +Tom's teacher was giving a lesson about history when suddenly, the door opened and a police officer entered the room.

A little while later, she was feeling very lucky when a friend stopped by with a special surprise. He had brought her a lucky penny! + +Dina was so excited and told her friend she would be able to share her sandwich now. Her friend said, "Are you sure? Remember what your mother said?". + +Dina thought about it for a moment, and decided that gaining a new friend was more important than following her mom's rules. She said, "Yes, I am sure. Let's share my sandwich and talk!" + +So they did. They talked and laughed all throughout lunchtime, and soon enough the lucky penny, sandwiches, and even the rule were all forgotten. +Once there was a little girl who had a very persistent urge to taste something sweet. She thought about it all the time and asked her parents for what she wanted every day. Her parents, who loved her very much, tried to think of different ways to give her something sweet. + +Finally, her parents found something perfect.

One day, Millie's mommy said to her, "Millie, why don't you take a rest on the furniture?" + +Millie was excited and hopped onto the couch. She stretched out and got super cozy. It was so comfy! + +Millie's mommy smiled and said, "Now that you're resting, you can be very polite and not jump on the furniture, OK?" + +"OK mommy," said Millie kindly.

Jack felt generous so he said yes. +But then his voice changed and he said, "That's my fruit! I'm the only one that can have it." + +Jill was very disappointed, but she understood. She said to Jack, "That's not very nice. You shouldn't be selfish.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't keep the fruit. Eventually, it rotted away and he was left with nothing. + +Moral of the story: It is important to remember to share and be generous.

Then, just as the bullies were about to grab the pet, a kind neighbour appeared. He was very brave and chased away the bullies. + +The old man and the pet hugged the kind neighbour to thank him for his help. The old man was very happy and vowed to always protect his pet. From that day onwards, the old man and his pet sat in the garden together, safe and sound. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Joe. He was very excited to go to the park one day.

He laughed and smiled. + +But then Michael, his neighbor, saw the wink too. Michael wanted the wink so he ran towards Joe. + +"That's mine!" Joe exclaimed. + +Joe quickly ran away with the wink and found a safe place to hide. He put the wink in his pocket and kept it safe. + +Joe kept the wink for many years and it remained rare.

Jack was always scared, until one day he mustered enough courage to have a fight. He thought he was brave, but he was so scared his paws were shaking. + +As Jack stepped onto the grassy field, he saw his opponent, a big, angry lion. The lion roared and Jack froze. Then he remembered why he was there, to be brave. He took a deep breath and walked forward. + +The fight began, but it was short and Jack was quickly losing.

The wolf was rather frightening and Cone was scared! + +The wolf said, “Why are you taking my flowers, little rabbit? Those flowers belong to me!†+ +Cone was too frightened to answer, so he just looked down at the ground. The wolf waited for an answer, and Cone said, “I'm sorry, I didn't know they were yours.†+ +The wolf smiled and said, “It’s okay, little rabbit. Remember, everyone deserves respect and it’s important to always ask before taking things!†+ +Cone was relieved and thanked the wolf. From then on, he always made sure to ask before taking anything that wasn’t his. + +The moral of the story is to always respect other people's property and always ask before taking something that isn't yours. +Once upon a time there was a little girl with a very unusual problem. Every day she tried to fix it, but it never seemed to get better. + +One day she went to the town and saw someone she hadn't seen before.

She had wanted to keep the bear so badly but she knew she should not have lied. + +The poor little bear stayed in the cupboard until the day Sarah was old enough to have it. +Once upon a time, there was a patient rhinoceros who lived in a nearby forest. He was always so kind, and he didn't ask for anything. + +One day, a small child came across the rhinoceros and said, "Hello, rhinoceros! What can I give you?" + +The kind rhinoceros thought for some time before he spoke.

But when Melissa opened her hands, it stayed in the same spot, not moving at all. + +Melissa worried that she had hurt the fish so she moved it to a safer spot in the water. Then she looked closely and noticed something strange. It wasn’t swimming around, it just remained in the same spot! + +Melissa noticed it had a wound on its head. Her eyes filled with tears as she realised that the poor fish had a brain injury. She knew it was injured because it was so careless and didn’t move away when she picked it up. + +Melissa was devastated and quickly ran home.

A little 3 year old girl was outside, peeking in at him and blinking her big blue eyes. + +"Do you want a shield?" he asked. + +The little girl blinked again and nodded. + +"All right then," he said.

He was very small and he was worried about the bigger animals around him. One day, he saw a big crane flying high in the sky, zooming around and having fun. + +The owl said, "I wish I could zoom like that". + +Then, he noticed that the crane was flying up and down and circling around the same tree. He realized that the crane was lifting some heavy branches and building a nest. + +The owl flew over and said, "Wow, that's a lot of work. Are you ok?" + +The crane smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm working on something that I want, and this hard work is worth it in the end". + +The owl learned a valuable lesson that day- hard work pays off.

She realised that the best way to find happiness was to share the things she liked with her friends. + +The little girl thanked the cabinet, and with a smile she ran off to share her new discoveries with her friends. +Once upon a time there was a big chamber. Inside the chamber were many helpful things. One thing was a special box that made sounds. Each day it had a different song inside. + +One day someone came to the chamber and opened the box. Inside was something the person didn't know. He tried to get it out, but it wouldn't move. He felt stuck. + +Then he had an idea. He used a helpful tool and it worked.

The little girl was not convinced and asked her mommy, "But what about the scary things that vanish in the dark?" Her mommy hugged her tightly and said, "Those things will never hurt you. Now, let's finish our walk." The little girl felt a bit better and together they walked back home. As they were walking, the little girl saw a glimmer in the dark which suddenly vanished.

She said, "Splash, you are enormous. You are the biggest dolphin in the zoo. You can jump very high and dive very deep. You can make funny sounds and play with balls. You are amazing. You are my hero. Can I be your veterinarian when I grow up?" Splash nodded and made a happy sound. He said, "Yes, Bella. You can be my veterinarian when you grow up. You are very smart and friendly and you love animals. You are amazing. You are my hero." They hugged and kissed and said goodbye. They promised to see each other again soon. They were the best friends ever. The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to share. They always fight over who gets what. Mom and Dad are tired of their fights. + +One day, Mom and Dad order a big box of new toys and books. They tell Lily and Ben that they can have them if they learn to share. They give them one week to show that they can be nice to each other. + +Lily and Ben are very happy. They want the new toys and books. They try to share their old ones. But it is hard. Sometimes they still fight and grab and cry. Mom and Dad are sad. They remind them of the new toys and books. + +On the last day of the week, Lily and Ben are playing with their old toys and books. They are having fun. They are not fighting. They are sharing. They are smiling. Mom and Dad are happy. They bring the big box of new toys and books. They open it and show Lily and Ben. + +"Wow! Look at all these toys and books!" Lily and Ben say. They are very excited. They want to play with them. But then they look at each other. They remember their old toys and books. They remember how they learned to share. They remember how they made Mom and Dad happy. + +They say to Mom and Dad, "Thank you for the new toys and books. They are very nice. But we do not need them. We have enough. We have each other. We can share. Can we give them to someone who does not have any?" + +Mom and Dad are very proud. They hug Lily and Ben. They say, "You are very kind and generous. You have learned a very important lesson. Sharing is caring. We love you very much." + +The end. +Lily loved to read books. She had many books in her trunk. Her trunk was big and blue. She kept it under her bed. Every night, she would take out a book and read it with her flashlight. + +One night, she read a book about a mighty elephant. The elephant was big and gray. He had a long trunk and big ears. He lived in the jungle with his friends. He could spray water with his trunk and make loud noises. + +Lily liked the elephant. She wished she could see him. She closed her eyes and imagined she was in the jungle. She heard a noise. She opened her eyes and saw the elephant. He was standing in her room. He had come out of the book. + +"Hello, little girl," the elephant said. "I am Raja. I came to visit you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily was surprised and happy. She nodded and smiled. She got out of her bed and hugged the elephant. He was soft and warm. He lifted her with his trunk and put her on his back. He took her to the window and showed her the stars. + +"Wow, you are so mighty," Lily said. "You can do anything. Can you take me to the jungle?" + +"Maybe another night," Raja said. "Now it is time to sleep. I have to go back to my book. But I will come again. You are my friend." + +He put her back on her bed and tucked her in. He gave her a kiss with his trunk. He went back to the book and disappeared. Lily hugged the book and fell asleep. She dreamed of the mighty elephant and the jungle. She was happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they fight over toys. One day, they find a big box of pepper in the kitchen. They think it is fake pepper, like the one they use for pretend cooking. + +"Let's play with the pepper!" Lily says. "We can make a cake!" + +"No, let's make a volcano!" Ben says. "We can make it explode!" + +They both want the pepper. They pull the box from each other. The box breaks. The pepper spills everywhere. It makes them sneeze and cough. + +"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Lily and Ben say. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "This is not fake pepper. This is real pepper. It is spicy and hot. It is not for playing. It is for cooking." + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben say. "We did not know." + +Mom tells them to separate. She gives Lily a broom and Ben a dustpan. She tells them to clean up the pepper. She tells them to be careful and not touch their eyes. + +Lily and Ben do what Mom says. They work together. They clean up the pepper. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. + +"Can we play something else?" Lily asks. + +"Sure," Ben says. "But not with pepper." + +They go to their room. They find their fake pepper. They play with it. They have fun. They do not fight. Mom is happy. +Sara liked to eat olives. She enjoyed the salty taste and the soft bite. She always asked for olives when her mom went to the store. One day, she saw a big jar of olives on the shelf. She wanted to have some right away. + +"Mom, can I have some olives, please?" she asked. + +"Not now, Sara. We have to pay for them first. And you have to eat your lunch before you have a snack," her mom said. + +"But I'm hungry now. And I love olives. Please, mom, please," Sara said. She was persistent. She did not give up. + +"Sara, you have to wait. And you have to be polite. You can't just take things from the store. That's not nice," her mom said. + +Sara was sad. She did not understand why she could not have some olives. She looked at the jar with longing. She thought of a plan. She reached for the jar when her mom was not looking. She opened the lid and grabbed a handful of olives. She stuffed them in her mouth. + +"Yum, yum, yum," she said. + +But then she heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you! What are you doing? You can't do that! That's stealing!" the voice said. + +It was the store owner. He saw Sara eating the olives. He was angry. He walked towards Sara and her mom. + +Sara was scared. She realized she did something wrong. She spit out the olives. She started to cry. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just wanted some olives," she said. + +Her mom was shocked. She did not see Sara take the olives. She felt ashamed. She apologized to the store owner. She paid for the jar of olives and the ones Sara ate. She took Sara by the hand and left the store. + +"Sara, you know you can't do that. That's very bad. You have to ask before you take something. And you have to listen to me. You can't have olives all the time. You have to eat other things too. Do you understand?" her mom said. + +Sara nodded. She was sorry. She did not enjoy the olives anymore. She learned her lesson. She hugged her mom and said, + +"I'm sorry, mom. I love you. And I love olives. But not as much as you." +Tom and Lily were playing outside when they saw a big storm coming. The sky was dark and loud. They heard thunder and saw lightning. They were scared and ran inside the house. + +"Mom, mom, there is a storm!" Tom said. + +"I know, honey, it's okay. Come here and sit with me on the couch. We can watch the storm from the window," Mom said. + +She gave them a blanket and some cookies. They snuggled with Mom and ate the cookies. They were sweet and crunchy. + +"Mom, what is lightning?" Lily asked. + +"Lightning is a very bright and hot flash in the sky. It happens when the clouds rub together and make sparks," Mom explained. + +"Wow, that's cool. Can we eat lightning?" Tom asked. + +"No, no, you can't eat lightning. It's too hot and dangerous. It can hurt you and make things burn. You can only look at it from far away," Mom said. + +"Oh, okay. I don't want to eat lightning then. I like cookies better," Tom said. + +"Me too," Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged Mom. They watched the storm until it went away. Then they saw a rainbow in the sky. It was very pretty and colorful. They were happy and safe. +One day, a little girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings and slide, and make new friends. She saw a boy with a red hat and a big smile. He was playing with a ball. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?" she asked the boy. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. Sure, I want to play with you. Do you like ball?" he said. + +They started to play catch with the ball. They had fun and laughed a lot. They also shared their snacks and stories. + +"Ben, this is my mom. Mom, this is Ben. He is my new friend," Lily said, as she introduced the boy to her mom. + +"Hello, Ben. I'm glad you and Lily are having fun. You have a nice hat," Lily's mom said, as she smiled at the boy. + +"Thank you. This is my dad. Dad, this is Lily and her mom. They are my new friends," Ben said, as he introduced the woman and the girl to his dad. + +"Hello, Lily and her mom. I'm happy you and Ben are playing nicely. You have a pretty dress," Ben's dad said, as he waved at the woman and the girl. + +But then, Lily saw a big dog running towards them. It had black fur and sharp teeth. It barked loudly and jumped on them. Lily was scared. She screamed and hid behind her mom. + +"Mom, mom, help! The dog is scary!" she cried. + +Ben was also scared. He dropped the ball and ran to his dad. + +"Dad, dad, help! The dog is scary!" he yelled. + +The dog's owner came and called the dog. He apologized to Lily, Ben, and their parents. He said the dog was friendly and just wanted to play, but he should have kept him on a leash. + +Lily and Ben calmed down. They hugged their parents and each other. They said goodbye to the dog and his owner. They decided to play on the swings and slide again. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big green bird in a tree. The bird has a long tail and a yellow beak. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Anna says. "It is so green and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "Do you know what it is called?" + +Anna shakes her head. She does not know. Ben thinks hard. He remembers a book he read with his mom. + +"I think it is called a parrot," he says. "Parrots are clever birds. They can talk!" + +"Really?" Anna asks. "Can we talk to it?" + +Ben nods. He wants to try. He walks closer to the tree and calls to the bird. + +"Hello, parrot! What is your name?" + +The bird looks at Ben and Anna. It opens its beak and says something. + +"Hello, parrot! What is your name?" + +Anna and Ben are surprised. The bird can copy them! + +"Wow, it can talk!" Anna says. "It is a clever parrot!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "But it does not tell us its name. Maybe it does not have one." + +Anna has an idea. She smiles and says to the bird. + +"We are Anna and Ben. We are your friends. Do you want a name?" + +The bird tilts its head and says something. + +"We are Anna and Ben. We are your friends. Do you want a name?" + +Anna and Ben laugh. The bird is funny. They think of a name for it. + +"How about Greeny?" Anna suggests. "Because you are green." + +"Or Howie?" Ben says. "Because you say how." + +The bird listens to them and says something. + +"Greeny Howie. Greeny Howie." + +Anna and Ben clap their hands. They like the name. + +"Greeny Howie, you are a clever parrot!" they say. "We are happy to meet you!" + +The bird flaps its wings and says something. + +"Greeny Howie, you are a clever parrot! We are happy to meet you!" +Tom and Anna like to read stories. They have many books with pictures and words. They have a big shelf for their books. But one day, they cannot find their favorite book. It is a book about a dog and a cat who are friends. + +"Where is our book?" Tom asks Anna. "Did we lose it?" + +"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe we left it in the living room." + +They go to the living room and look for their book. They look under the sofa, behind the curtains, and on the table. But they cannot find their book. + +"Maybe we left it in the kitchen," Tom says. + +They go to the kitchen and look for their book. They look in the drawers, on the chairs, and in the trash. But they cannot find their book. + +"Maybe we left it in the bedroom," Anna says. + +They go to the bedroom and look for their book. They look in the closet, under the bed, and on the dresser. But they cannot find their book. + +They are very sad. They want to read their book. They sit on the floor and cry. + +"Hey, what's wrong?" Mom says. She comes to the bedroom and sees Tom and Anna crying. + +"We lost our book," Tom says. "The book about the dog and the cat." + +"We looked everywhere," Anna says. "But we cannot find it." + +Mom hugs them and says, "Don't cry. I know where your book is. I saw it in the car this morning. You took it with you when we went to the park. I put it in the glove box for safekeeping. Come on, let's go get it." + +Tom and Anna stop crying and smile. They follow Mom to the car. Mom opens the glove box and takes out their book. She gives it to Tom and Anna. + +"Here is your book," Mom says. "I'm sorry you lost it. But I'm glad you found it." + +"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Anna say. They hug Mom and take their book. They go back to the house and sit on the couch. They open their book and read their story. They read it loud and happy. They love their book. They love their story. They love their Mom. +Anna and Ben like to play with their dolls. They make up stories and sing songs for them. One day, they decide to put on an opera for their dolls. They find some old clothes and hats and make a stage out of a cardboard box. + +Anna is the star of the opera. She wears a long dress and a big hat. She sings very loud and high. Ben is the helper. He plays the piano and makes the sounds of the wind and the rain. He wears a suit and a tie. + +The opera is about a princess who is lost in a storm. She is very sad and scared. She cries and cries. Ben makes the storm louder and louder. Anna sings louder and louder. + +But then, something goes wrong. Ben spills his glass of water on the piano. The piano makes a funny noise and stops working. Ben is very sorry. He says, "Oh no! I broke the piano! I'm sorry, Anna!" + +Anna is very angry. She says, "You ruined the opera! You are a bad helper! You are not my friend anymore!" She throws her hat at Ben and runs away with her doll. + +Ben is very sad. He says, "I didn't mean to break the piano. I was just trying to make the storm. I'm sorry, Anna. Please come back. You are my friend." + +He picks up his doll and his hat and goes to look for Anna. He finds her in the garden. She is sitting on a bench. She is still crying. Her doll is wet and dirty. Her dress is rough and dry. + +Ben says, "Anna, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin the opera. Can we be friends again?" + +Anna looks at Ben. She sees his doll and his hat. She sees his sad face. She says, "I'm sorry, too. I was too mean to you. You are a good helper. You are my friend." + +They hug and say sorry. They go back to the house. They clean their dolls and their clothes. They fix the piano. They sing a happy song. They are friends again. The end. +Anna liked to relax with her mommy after a long day. They would sit on the couch and read books, or watch a show, or sing songs. Anna felt happy and cozy with her mommy. + +One day, Anna saw a bottle on the table. It was shiny and pretty, and had a flower on it. Anna was curious and wanted to smell it. She reached for the bottle, but her mommy saw her and said, "No, Anna, that is perfume. It is not for you. It is for grown-ups. Be careful, it can make you sneeze or hurt your eyes." + +Anna was disappointed, but she listened to her mommy. She put the bottle back on the table and said, "Sorry, mommy. I just wanted to smell it. What does it smell like?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "It smells like roses and vanilla. It is very nice, but it is strong. Maybe when you are older, you can try some. But for now, let's relax and read a book. How about this one? It is about a princess and a dragon." + +Anna nodded and snuggled with her mommy. She liked books, especially about princesses and dragons. She forgot about the perfume and enjoyed the story. She felt happy and cozy with her mommy. +Anna and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to make castles with sand and shells. They used buckets and spades to shape the sand. They were happy and laughed a lot. + +But then a big wave came and washed away their castles. Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They cried and shouted at the sea. + +"Why did you do that?" Anna asked the sea. "We worked hard to make our castles. They were pretty and fun. You are mean and bad!" + +The sea did not answer. It only made more waves and noise. Anna and Ben felt troubled. They did not know what to do. + +Then they saw their mom and dad coming. They ran to them and hugged them. Mom and dad held them and kissed them. + +"It's okay, sweeties," mom said. "The sea is not mean or bad. It just does what it does. Sometimes it makes waves, sometimes it is calm. It does not want to hurt you or your castles. It just wants to play with you." + +"Really?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, really," dad said. "The sea is your friend. You can play with it, but you have to be careful. Sometimes it can be strong and rough. Sometimes it can be gentle and smooth. You have to respect it and learn from it." + +Anna and Ben looked at the sea. They saw that it was shining and sparkling. They heard that it was singing and whispering. They felt that it was warm and wet. + +They smiled and nodded. They understood. They were not troubled anymore. + +They took their buckets and spades and went back to the sand. They decided to make new castles, but closer to their mom and dad. They also decided to make a gift for the sea. They collected some shells and stones and made a necklace. They threw it into the water and said, "Thank you, sea, for playing with us. We are sorry for being angry. We are your friends, too." + +The sea seemed to smile and wink. It took the necklace and carried it away. It also left some shells and stones on the shore for Anna and Ben. They picked them up and put them in their pockets. They were happy and laughed a lot. +Tim and Liz are friends who like to play together. One day, they find a big tub of yogurt in the fridge. They wonder what it tastes like. + +"Let's try some," Tim says. "It looks yummy." + +"I don't know," Liz says. "Mommy says we have to ask before we eat anything." + +"Come on, don't be scared," Tim says. "I dare you to have a spoonful." + +Liz thinks for a moment. She likes to do new things, but she also wants to be good. She looks at the yogurt. It is white and smooth. + +"Okay, I'll do it," she says. "But you have to do it too." + +They grab two spoons and open the tub. They scoop some yogurt and put it in their mouths. They make a face. It is sour and bitter. + +"Yuck!" they say together. "This is not yummy at all!" + +They spit out the yogurt and run to the sink. They rinse their mouths with water. They feel sick. + +They hear a noise. It is Mommy. She comes into the kitchen and sees the mess. She sees the yogurt on the floor and on their faces. She is angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "Did you eat the yogurt?" + +Tim and Liz look at each other. They are scared. They know they did something bad. + +They nod their heads. They say sorry. + +Mommy sighs. She picks up the tub and shows them the label. It says "Greek yogurt". + +"This is not for kids," she says. "This is for grown-ups. It is very sour and strong. It can make you sick. It is dangerous." + +Tim and Liz feel sorry. They did not know. They thought it was like the yogurt they have for breakfast. They hug Mommy and say sorry again. + +Mommy hugs them back. She is not angry anymore. She is glad they are okay. + +She says, "Next time, please ask me before you eat anything. And don't dare each other to do things that can hurt you. Okay?" + +Tim and Liz say okay. They promise to be good. They ask Mommy for some juice and cookies. They hope they will feel better soon. They learn their lesson. They never eat Greek yogurt again. +Lily liked to watch the aeroplanes in the sky. She wanted to fly in one and see the clouds and the birds. But her brother Tom said she was too little and he was bigger and smarter. He said he would fly in an aeroplane one day and Lily would stay on the ground. + +Lily was envious of Tom.

She thought Tom would not notice. + +But Tom did notice. He came into his room and saw Lily with his toy aeroplane. He was very angry. He shouted at Lily and snatched the toy from her.

She said she just wanted to fly in an aeroplane like Tom. She said she loved Tom and did not want to make him angry. Tom saw Lily's tears and felt sorry for her. He remembered that he loved Lily too and did not want to make her sad. + +He hugged Lily and said he was sorry too. He said he would share his toy aeroplane with her and they could play together. He said he would teach her about the sky and the clouds and the birds. He said he would take her to fly in an aeroplane one day when she was bigger. Lily smiled and hugged Tom back. She said thank you and said he was a good brother. They played with the toy aeroplane and forgot about Mom. Mom saw them and smiled. She was happy that they were friends again. She did not punish them. She gave them a cookie and a kiss. +Timmy loved parades. He liked to see the big floats, the loud music, and the funny clowns. He was very excited when his mom took him to the town parade. He wanted to have a good spot to watch everything. + +But when they got there, it was very crowded. Timmy had to squeeze between many people. He felt hot and sweaty. He wished he had some water. He saw a man with a big bottle of water. He asked him, "Can I have some water, please?" + +The man looked at Timmy and said, "No, you can't. This is my water. Go away, you little brat." He was very rude. He pushed Timmy away. Timmy felt sad and angry. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He felt a tickle in his nose. + +He tried to hold it in, but he couldn't. He sneezed. He sneezed very hard.

He grabbed Timmy by the collar and shook him. + +Timmy was scared and hurt. He cried, "Mommy, help me!" He looked for his mom, but he couldn't see her. She was lost in the crowd.

He wished he had some water. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They run to the slide. Tom goes first. He sits on the slide and slides down. He goes very fast. He is happy. + +"Wow, this is fun!" he says. + +Mia goes next. She sits on the slide and slides down. But she slides too fast. She slips off the slide and falls on the grass. She is not hurt, but she is surprised. + +"Oops!" she says. + +Tom sees Mia fall. He runs to her. He asks her if she is OK. + +"Are you OK, Mia?" he says. + +"I'm OK, Tom. That was funny!" she says. + +They both laugh. They get up and hug. They are still friends.

The zoo has many animals, like lions, monkeys and elephants. Lily and Ben like animals. They think the zoo is fun. + +Lily and Ben stop crying and pouting. They say sorry to their mom and dad. They say they want to go to the zoo. They hug their mom and dad. They take the bus to the zoo. They see the animals and skip on the path. They are happy. +Tommy was eager to eat his cereal in the morning. He liked the crunchy and sweet flakes with milk. He ran to the kitchen and saw his mom pouring cereal into a bowl. + +"Can I have some, please?" he asked. + +"Of course, honey. Here you go," his mom said and handed him the bowl and a spoon. + +Tommy smiled and started to eat. He liked to make noises with his mouth, like a car or a plane. He pretended his spoon was a car and zoomed it around the bowl. + +"Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!" he said. + +His mom laughed and watched him. She was happy to see him having fun. + +Suddenly, Tommy stopped and frowned. He looked at his spoon and saw something strange. + +"Mom, what is this?" he asked and pointed to a green thing on his spoon. + +His mom looked closer and gasped. It was a pea, a vegetable that Tommy hated. + +"Oh no, how did that get in there?" she wondered. + +She looked at the cereal box and saw that it was not the one she usually bought. It was a different brand that had peas and carrots mixed with the flakes. + +"Oops, I must have grabbed the wrong box at the store. I'm sorry, Tommy. Do you want to try it anyway?" she asked. + +Tommy shook his head. He did not want to eat peas and carrots for breakfast. He wanted his normal cereal. + +"Can we reverse it, mom? Can we take it back and get the right one?" he asked. + +His mom smiled and hugged him. + +"Sure, honey. We can reverse it. Let's go to the store and exchange it. Maybe they will give us a free toy for the mistake," she said. + +Tommy nodded and put down his spoon. He was eager to go to the store and get his favorite cereal. He hoped they would have a car toy for him. He liked cars very much. + +He grabbed his mom's hand and they went to the car. + +"Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!" he said again and laughed. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big couch in her living room where she could sit and read books or watch cartoons. But sometimes she felt lonely, because she had no one to play with. Her mom and dad were busy with work, and her big brother was at school. + +One day, she saw a new toy on the couch. It was a fuzzy bear with a red bow. She wondered who left it there. She wanted to touch it and hug it, but she was afraid. What if it was not for her? What if it was a trick? She remembered that her brother sometimes played tricks on her, like hiding her dolls or putting worms in her shoes. + +She looked around, but she saw no one. She thought maybe her mom or dad bought it for her as a surprise. She felt happy and curious. She decided to dare. She walked slowly to the couch and reached out her hand. She touched the bear softly. It felt warm and soft. She smiled and picked it up. She hugged it and said, "Hello, bear. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The bear did not answer, but it made a sound. It was a squeak. Lily was surprised. She looked at the bear and saw a tag. It said, "Press my paw to hear me talk." She pressed the paw and heard the bear say, "Hi, Lily. I'm Buddy. I'm your new friend. I'm so glad you found me. I was lonely on the couch." + +Lily gasped. She could not believe it. The bear could talk. She felt happy and excited. She said, "Hi, Buddy. I'm Lily. I'm your new friend too. I was lonely too. Do you want to play with me?" + +The bear said, "Yes, Lily. I want to play with you. You are very brave and kind. You dared to touch me and hug me. You made me happy. What do you want to play?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She had so many ideas. She said, "Let's play tea party. I have a tea set and some cookies. We can pretend to be guests and hosts. Do you like tea?" + +The bear said, "I love tea. And cookies. And you. Let's play tea party. You are the best host ever." + +Lily and Buddy went to her room and set up the tea party. They had a lot of fun. They talked and laughed and shared stories. They became the best friends ever. They never felt lonely again. They always had each other. And they always dared to try new things. +Lily liked to feed the birds in the park. She had a bag of bread and seeds that she broke into small pieces. She threw them on the grass and watched the birds come and eat. She saw big birds and small birds, brown birds and colorful birds. She smiled and clapped her hands. + +"Look, Mommy, look!" she said. "The birds are hungry and I help them." + +Mommy smiled and hugged Lily. "You are very kind, Lily. The birds are happy and you are happy. That is good." + +Lily saw a little bird that was shy and did not come to the grass. It was on a branch and looked at the food. Lily wanted to feed it too. She took a piece of bread and walked slowly to the tree. She held out her hand and said softly, "Come, little bird, come. I have food for you. Don't be afraid." + +The little bird looked at Lily and saw that she was friendly. It flew down and landed on her hand. It pecked at the bread and chirped. Lily felt its feathers and its warmth. She was very happy and proud. She had made a new friend. + +Mommy watched and took a picture. She was proud of Lily too. She said, "You are very brave, Lily. The little bird trusts you. That is special." + +Lily and the little bird looked at each other and smiled. They had learned something. They had learned to share and to trust. That is important. +Sara and Tom are big brother and sister. They have a new baby at home. His name is Ben. Sara and Tom love Ben very much. They like to help Mom and Dad with Ben. + +One day, Sara and Tom are playing in the living room. They hear a loud noise from Ben's room. They run to see what is wrong. They see Ben crying in his crib. He is hungry and wants milk. + +"Shh, shh, Ben, it's okay," Sara says. She picks up Ben and holds him. She tries to make him happy. She sings a song to him. "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are." + +"Can I help too?" Tom asks. He wants to be a good brother. He gets a bottle of milk from the kitchen. He brings it to Sara. He says, "Here, Sara, give Ben some milk. Milk is delicious. Ben will like it." + +Sara takes the bottle from Tom. She thanks him. She puts the bottle in Ben's mouth. Ben drinks the milk. He stops crying. He makes a happy sound. He smiles at Sara and Tom. + +Sara and Tom smile back. They are proud of themselves. They hug Ben. They say, "We love you, Ben. You are our baby." +Sara and her mom went to the airport. They had a big bag with clothes and toys. They were going to visit Sara's grandma, who lived far away. Sara was happy, but also a little sad. She would miss her dad and her dog. + +"Bye, dad! Bye, Spot!" Sara said, waving and hugging them. "I love you!" + +"I love you too, sweetie. Have a good trip. Call me when you get there, okay?" dad said, kissing Sara on the cheek. + +"Okay, dad. Don't worry. We'll be back soon," Sara said, smiling. + +Mom and Sara walked to the big plane. They showed their tickets to a lady, who smiled and said, "Welcome aboard. Have a nice flight." They found their seats and put their bag in a space above them. Mom buckled Sara's seat belt and gave her a book. + +"Look, Sara. This is a book about grandma's city. It has pictures of the park, the zoo, the museum, and the bridge. Do you want to read it with me?" mom asked. + +"Yes, mom. That sounds fun. Thank you for the book. You are very thoughtful," Sara said, opening the book. + +Mom and Sara read the book together, looking at the colorful pictures and learning new things. Sara felt happy and excited. She couldn't wait to see grandma and give her a big kiss. She knew grandma would be very happy too. Sara closed her eyes and dreamed of the fun things they would do. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the big room with many books. They liked to look at the pictures and make up stories. One day, they found a book with a shiny cover and a star on it. They opened the book and saw many colors and shapes. + +"Wow, what is this?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, but it looks fun. Let's read it," Lily said. + +They began to read the book, but they did not understand the words. They were strange and hard. They only looked at the pictures and tried to guess what they meant. As they turned the pages, they felt a breeze and heard a sound. + +"Whoosh!" + +They looked up and saw that the bookshelf was gone. So were the other books and the walls and the floor. They were in a different place. It was dark and cold and pale. There were no people or animals or plants. Only rocks and dust and shadows. + +"Where are we?" Lily cried. + +"I don't know, but I don't like it. We have to go back," Ben said. + +They looked at the book, but it was blank. There were no pictures or words or colors. It was empty and white. They tried to close it, but it did not move. It was stuck. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +But no one heard them. They were alone and scared in the pale place. They wished they never opened the book. They wished they could vanish and go back to the big room with many books. They wished they could see their mom and dad and hug them. They wished they could wake up from this bad dream. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys and their dog, Spot. One sunny day, Lily's mom said, "I have a surprise for you and Ben. We are going to have a picnic in the park!" + +Lily and Ben were very happy. They helped Lily's mom pack some sandwiches, fruits, cookies, and juice in a big basket. They also brought a blanket, some plates, and some napkins. They put everything in the car and drove to the park. + +When they got to the park, they found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket on the grass and put the basket on top. They opened the basket and saw all the yummy food. They said, "Wow, this is an amazing picnic!" + +They ate their sandwiches, fruits, and cookies. They drank their juice. They shared some with Spot, who wagged his tail. They thanked Lily's mom for the surprise. They felt very full and happy. + +After they finished eating, they played with their toys and Spot. They ran, jumped, and laughed. They had a lot of fun. They saw some birds, squirrels, and flowers. They said, "We love the park!" + +They stayed in the park until it was time to go home. They packed everything in the car and said goodbye to the park. They hugged Lily's mom and said, "Thank you for the amazing picnic and the surprise. We had a great day!" + +Lily's mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You are amazing, too!" +Lily and Tom were hungry. They saw a big basket of corn on the table. They wanted to eat some corn. But Mom said, "No, you have to wait for dinner. The corn is for everyone." + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They had an idea. They waited until Mom went to the kitchen. Then they ran to the table and grabbed some corn. They hid under the sofa and started to eat. + +"Yum, this corn is so good," said Lily. + +"Yes, it is," said Tom. "But we have to be quiet. Mom will be angry if she finds out." + +They ate and ate. They did not hear Mom coming back. She saw the empty basket and the corn husks on the floor. She knew what happened. + +"Lily! Tom! Come here right now!" she shouted. + +Lily and Tom felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. They crawled out from under the sofa. They looked at Mom with sad eyes. + +"Sorry, Mom," they said. + +Mom was not happy. She said, "You should not take things without asking. You should not lie and hide. You should not be greedy and eat all the corn. You should share and join the family for dinner. Now you have to go to your room and think about what you did." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not do it again." + +They went to their room. They felt sorry and guilty. They wished they had not eaten the corn. They wished they had joined the family for dinner. +Tim and Jen are at the park with Mom. They see a big round thing that can spin. They want to try it. + +"Can we go on the spinny thing, Mom?" Tim asks. + +"Sure, but be careful and hold on tight," Mom says. + +Tim and Jen run to the spinny thing and climb on. They sit on opposite sides and push with their feet. The spinny thing goes faster and faster. Tim and Jen laugh and scream. + +"Weee! This is great!" Jen says. + +"I love spinning!" Tim says. + +They spin for a long time. They feel dizzy and happy. Then they hear Mom call them. + +"Time to go, kids! We have to exit the park soon," Mom says. + +Tim and Jen stop pushing and wait for the spinny thing to slow down. They jump off and run to Mom. + +"That was so fun, Mom!" Tim says. + +"Can we do it again next time?" Jen asks. + +"Maybe, if you are good," Mom says. + +They exit the park and go to the car. They are still smiling and spinning in their heads. They had a great day at the park. +Sara and Ben are playing in the lawn. They like to run and jump and roll on the green grass. They see some flowers and bees and butterflies. They are happy. + +But then Sara sees something on the lawn that makes her sad. It is a bird. A small, brown bird. It is not moving. It is dead. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" Sara says. She runs to the bird and kneels down. She touches its feathers. They are soft and cold. + +"What is wrong with the bird, Sara?" Ben asks. He follows Sara and looks at the bird. He does not understand. + +"I think the bird is dead, Ben," Sara says. She feels a tear in her eye. "Dead means it cannot fly or sing or eat anymore. It is gone." + +Ben feels sad too. He likes birds. He wonders what happened to the bird. He wants to help. + +"Maybe we can find its family, Sara," Ben says. He stands up and searches the lawn. He looks at the trees and the sky. He hopes to see other birds. "Maybe they are looking for the bird. Maybe they miss it." + +Sara stands up too. She searches the lawn with Ben. She thinks Ben is kind and smart. She hopes they can find the bird's family. She wants to say sorry. + +They search and search, but they do not see any other birds. They only see more flowers and bees and butterflies. They are still sad. + +"Maybe the bird's family is not here, Ben," Sara says. She holds Ben's hand. "Maybe they are somewhere else. Somewhere safe and happy." + +"Maybe, Sara," Ben says. He squeezes Sara's hand. "Maybe we can do something for the bird. Something nice." + +They think and think. Then they have an idea. They pick some flowers from the lawn. They make a circle around the bird. They say a prayer. They say goodbye. + +They leave the bird on the lawn. They hope it is peaceful. They hope it is not lonely. They go back to their house. They hug their mom and dad. They tell them about the bird. They feel better. They are still friends. +Ben liked to help his mom at her office. Her office was a big room with many desks and chairs and computers. Mom's desk was very organized. She had a place for everything: her papers, her pens, her books, her phone. Ben liked to look at her things and learn new words. + +One day, mom had to go to a meeting. She told Ben to stay at her desk and be quiet. She gave him a coloring book and some crayons. Ben was happy. He started to color a picture of a dog. He used many colors: red, blue, green, yellow. + +But then he saw something else on mom's desk. It was a big bottle of water. Ben was thirsty. He wanted to drink some water. He reached for the bottle and tried to open it. But the bottle was too heavy and the lid was too tight. Ben pushed and pulled and twisted. He did not notice that the bottle was tipping over. + +Suddenly, the lid popped off and water poured out of the bottle. It poured on mom's desk, on her papers, on her pens, on her books, on her phone. It poured on the floor, on the chair, on Ben's coloring book. Ben was shocked. He dropped the bottle and started to cry. + +Mom heard Ben's cry and came back to her desk. She saw the mess and gasped. She was angry and sad. She picked up Ben and hugged him. She said, "Ben, what did you do? You poured water on everything. You ruined my things. You made a big problem." + +Ben felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was thirsty. I wanted water. I did not mean to pour water. I love you, mom." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I love you too, Ben. But you have to be careful. You have to ask before you touch things. You have to learn from your mistake. Now we have to clean up and fix everything." + +Ben nodded. He said, "OK, mom. I will help you. I will be good. I will learn." + +Mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good boy. But next time, please don't pour water on my organized desk." +Tommy did not like haircuts. He liked his hair long and messy. He said haircuts were ouchy and scary. He cried when Mommy said it was time to go to the barber. + +"Please, Mommy, no haircut!" Tommy begged. "I want to keep my hair!" + +"Sorry, Tommy, but you need a haircut. Your hair is too long and dirty. The barber will be nice and gentle. He will make you look mighty and handsome." Mommy said. + +Tommy shook his head. He did not want to look mighty and handsome. He wanted to look like himself. He did not accept Mommy's words. He ran away and hid under the bed. + +Mommy found him and pulled him out. She carried him to the car. Tommy kicked and screamed. He did not want to go to the barber. He was very mad and sad. + +At the barber shop, Mommy held Tommy on the chair. The barber smiled and took out his scissors. He tried to cut Tommy's hair. But Tommy moved and wiggled. He did not stay still. He did not listen to the barber. + +The barber got angry. He did not like Tommy's behavior. He cut Tommy's hair very fast and rough. He did not care if Tommy liked it or not. He made Tommy's hair very short and uneven. He left some patches and some bald spots. He made Tommy look funny and ugly. + +Tommy felt the scissors on his head. He felt his hair fall down. He looked in the mirror. He saw his new haircut. He did not recognize himself. He did not like his haircut. He felt very bad. + +He started to cry. He cried very loud and hard. He wanted his hair back. He wanted his Mommy to fix it. He wanted to go home. + +Mommy saw Tommy's haircut. She gasped. She did not like his haircut either. She felt very sorry for Tommy. She paid the barber and took Tommy out. She hugged him and said she loved him. + +But Tommy did not stop crying. He did not feel loved. He felt hurt and ashamed. He hated his haircut. He hated the barber. He hated Mommy. He wished he never went to the barber shop. He wished he never got a haircut. He wished he could hide under the bed forever. +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and make structures. They made towers, bridges, houses and castles. They used red, blue, yellow and green blocks. They had fun and shared their blocks. + +One day, Sam had to move to a new home. He said goodbye to Lila and gave her a hug. He took some of his blocks with him. Lila was sad. She missed Sam and his blocks. She did not have anyone to play with and make structures. + +Lila's mom saw that she was sad. She said, "I know you miss Sam, but you can still play with your blocks. You can make new structures and new friends. Maybe you can write a letter to Sam and tell him about your structures." + +Lila nodded. She took out her blocks and started to make a structure. She made a modest house with a door and a window. She used red and blue blocks. She liked her house. She thought Sam would like it too. + +She asked her mom for some paper and a crayon. She drew her house and wrote, "To Sam, I miss you. This is my house. I hope you like it. From Lila." She put the paper in an envelope and gave it to her mom. She said, "Can you send this to Sam?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, I will. I'm sure he will be happy to hear from you. You are a good friend, Lila." She gave Lila a hug and a kiss. Lila smiled. She still missed Sam, but she felt better. She hoped Sam would write back soon. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, Ben has a new game. It is called chess. He shows it to Mia. + +"Look, Mia, this is chess. It is fun. You have black pieces and I have white pieces. We move them on the board. We try to catch the king. The king is the most important piece. Do you want to play with me?" Ben asks. + +Mia nods. She likes new games. She picks up a black piece. It looks like a horse. She moves it on the board. + +"Good move, Mia. But watch out, I can move my piece too. It looks like a castle. It can go very far. See, I can catch your horse. Now it is mine." Ben says. + +Mia frowns. She does not like to lose her horse. She looks at the board. She sees another black piece. It looks like a queen. It can go in any direction. She moves it on the board. + +"Wow, Mia, that is a smart move. You can catch my castle. And you can also catch my king. You win the game. You are very good at chess." Ben says. + +Mia smiles. She likes to win the game. She likes chess. She likes Ben. They hug and laugh. They play chess again. They have fun. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks in their room. They like to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Sara has a bright red block that she wants to put on top of her tower. But the red block is on the shelf, and she is too small to reach it. + +"Ben, can you help me?" Sara asks her brother. "I want the red block, but I can't reach it." + +Ben looks at the shelf and sees the red block. He also sees a box of matches next to it. He likes matches, because they make fire and smoke and noise. He thinks it would be fun to play with them. + +"No, I can't help you," Ben says. "I want the matches. They are more fun than blocks." + +He climbs on a chair and grabs the box of matches. He opens it and takes out a match. He tries to strike it on the side of the box, but nothing happens. + +"Ben, don't play with matches!" Sara says. "They are dangerous. They can burn you and the house. Mommy and Daddy will be angry." + +"I don't care," Ben says. "I want to see the fire. It's bright and pretty." + +He tries to strike the match again, but he drops it on the floor. The match lights up and makes a small flame. Ben is scared and jumps off the chair. He runs to Sara and hugs her. + +"Sara, help me!" Ben says. "The match is on fire. It will burn the blocks and the carpet and the curtains." + +Sara is brave and smart. She remembers what Mommy and Daddy taught her. She grabs a blanket and throws it over the match. The fire goes out and the smoke stops. + +"Good job, Sara!" Ben says. "You saved us and the room. I'm sorry I played with matches. They are not fun. They are bad." + +Sara hugs Ben and smiles. She is happy that he is sorry and that they are safe. + +"It's okay, Ben," Sara says. "I forgive you. But don't play with matches again. They are not toys. They are for grown-ups only." + +Ben nods and agrees. He puts the box of matches back on the shelf. He helps Sara get the red block and put it on her tower. They play with the blocks and have fun. They are good siblings and friends. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, they found a big book with many stories. They wanted to read it together. + +But the book was too heavy for them. They tried to lift it, but it fell on the floor. The book split in two. Some pages flew out. Lily and Ben were sad. + +"Oh no, the book is broken!" Lily cried. "We can't read the stories now!" + +"Maybe we can fix it," Ben said. He picked up some pages and tried to put them back. But he did not know where they belonged. He made a mess. + +Lily looked at the pages. She saw a picture of a princess and a dragon. She liked that story. She took the pages and ran to the couch. + +"Hey, give me that!" Ben shouted. He saw a picture of a pirate and a treasure. He liked that story. He took the pages and ran to the chair. + +Lily and Ben did not want to share. They each read their own story. But they felt empty. They missed their friend. They did not have fun. + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They put down their pages and walked to each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "Do you want to read my story?" + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "Do you want to read my story?" + +They smiled and hugged. They decided to read both stories. They took the book and the pages and fixed them. They sat on the floor and read together. They were happy. They liked to share. +Lily liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of flowers, stars, and animals. One day, she wanted to create a cow, because she saw one on TV. She drew a big circle for the body, a smaller circle for the head, four sticks for the legs, and two horns. She colored the cow black and white. + +"Look, Mommy, I made a cow!" Lily said, showing her picture to her mom. + +"That's very nice, Lily, but your cow looks very thin. Do you know why?" Mommy asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered that the cow on TV was eating grass and hay. She said, "Maybe my cow is thin because it has no food." + +Mommy nodded. "That's right, Lily. Cows need food to be healthy and strong. Just like you and me. Do you want to give your cow some food?" + +Lily smiled. She took another paper and drew some green grass and yellow hay. She cut them out and glued them to the cow's picture. She said, "There, now my cow has food. It will be happy and fat." + +Mommy hugged Lily. "You are very smart and kind, Lily. You know how to create and how to care. I'm proud of you." + +Lily felt happy. She learned that creating is fun, but caring is important too. She hung her cow picture on the wall and went to play with her toys. +Tom and Mia like to play outside when it rains. They put on their boots and coats and run to the park. There they find many puddles of water. They jump and splash in the puddles. They laugh and have fun. + +"Look, Mia, a spray bottle!" Tom says. He sees a blue bottle on a bench. He picks it up and squeezes it. Water comes out of the bottle in a thin stream. He sprays the water at Mia. "Hey, stop it!" Mia says. She tries to dodge the water. She is wet and cold. + +Mia sees a large puddle near a slide. She runs to the puddle and picks up a stick. She stirs the water with the stick. She makes waves and bubbles. She sprays the water at Tom with the stick. "Take that!" Mia says. She smiles and giggles. + +Tom runs to the puddle and joins Mia. He drops the bottle and grabs another stick. He sprays the water at Mia with the stick. "You can't get me!" Tom says. He laughs and wiggles. + +They spray each other with water until they are soaked. They don't mind. They are happy and silly. They love to play in the rain. +Lila and Tom were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Lila had a wooden sword and a shield made of cardboard. Tom had a green scarf and a whistle. He pretended to be a fierce dragon who wanted to take Lila's shield. + +"Roar! I am the dragon! Give me your shield or I will blow fire at you!" Tom said, blowing his whistle loudly. + +"No, no, no! You cannot have my shield! It is mine and it protects me from your fire!" Lila said, holding her shield in front of her. + +They ran around the garden, chasing and dodging each other. Lila tried to hit Tom with her sword, but he was too fast. Tom tried to grab Lila's shield, but she was too strong. + +They had so much fun that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Kids, lunch is ready! Come inside and wash your hands!" Mom said, standing at the door. + +Lila and Tom stopped playing and looked at each other. They were hungry and tired. + +"OK, Mom, we are coming!" Lila said. + +"Can we play again after lunch?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, if you eat your vegetables and share your toys," Mom said. + +Lila and Tom nodded and ran inside. They left their sword, shield, scarf and whistle on the grass. They were still available for their next adventure. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to pretend they were driving on the road and going to different places. Ben had a red car and Lily had a blue car. + +"Look, Lily, I have a license for my car!" Ben said, showing her a piece of paper he had drawn on. "It has my name and a picture of my car. Do you have a license for your car?" + +Lily looked at Ben's paper and felt sad. She did not have a license for her car. She wanted to have one too. She thought of a plan. + +"Wait here, Ben, I will be right back," she said, and ran inside the house. She found a piece of paper and a crayon and quickly drew a license for her car. She wrote her name and a picture of her car, but she also added some stars and hearts and a big smiley face. + +She ran back to the garden and showed Ben her license. "Look, Ben, I have a license for my car too!" she said, smiling. "It has my name and a picture of my car and some other things. It is very pretty, don't you think?" + +Ben looked at Lily's paper and felt angry. He saw that her license was different from his. He thought she was cheating. He did not like that. He wanted to be honest. + +"Lily, that is not a real license!" he said, frowning. "You just made it up. You did not follow the rules. You have to draw your license like mine, with only your name and a picture of your car. That is the honest way to do it." + +Lily felt hurt. She did not mean to cheat. She just wanted to have a license like Ben. She thought her license was nice and fun. She did not understand why Ben was angry. + +"Ben, I am sorry, I did not know there were rules," she said, tears in her eyes. "I just wanted to have a license like you. I thought you would like my license. I think it is very pretty. Can we still be friends?" + +Ben saw that Lily was sorry and sad. He felt sorry and sad too. He did not want to make Lily cry. He wanted to be her friend. He thought of a way to make her happy. + +"Lily, I am sorry, I was too mean," he said, hugging her. "Your license is very pretty. I like the stars and the hearts and the smiley face. They make your license special. We can still be friends. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily smiled and hugged Ben back. She was happy that Ben liked her license. She was happy that they were still friends. She wanted to play with him. + +"Yes, Ben, I want to play with you," she said, wiping her tears. "Let's drive our cars to the park and have a picnic. That sounds like fun, don't you think?" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He agreed that it sounded like fun. He took Lily's hand and they ran to their cars. They drove to the park and had a picnic. They had a lot of fun. They were honest and happy friends. +Tim and Mia like to play with stuff. They have many toys, books, and blocks. They like to make towers with the blocks. They try to balance the blocks on top of each other. Sometimes the towers fall down and make a loud noise. + +One day, they see an enormous box in the living room. It is bigger than Tim and Mia. They wonder what is inside. They want to open the box, but it is too heavy. They have an idea. They decide to make a tower with the box. + +They get some chairs and a stool. They put the stool on the floor. They put one chair on the stool. They put another chair on the first chair. They climb up the chairs. They try to balance on the top chair. They reach for the box. + +"Be careful, Tim!" Mia says. "Don't fall down!" + +"I'm careful, Mia!" Tim says. "I want to see what is in the box!" + +Tim pulls the box. The box is very heavy. The box moves a little bit. The tower shakes a lot. Tim and Mia lose their balance. They fall down with the chairs and the stool. The box falls down too. It makes a huge noise. + +"Ouch!" Tim and Mia say. They rub their heads. They look at the box. The box is open. They see what is inside. It is a big teddy bear. It is soft and fluffy. It has a red bow around its neck. + +"Wow!" Tim and Mia say. They forget about their pain. They hug the teddy bear. They are happy. They thank their mom and dad for the surprise. They play with the teddy bear. They forget about the tower. They forget about the stuff. They only care about the teddy bear. They love the teddy bear. The teddy bear loves them too. +Anna loves ponies. She has a toy pony that she plays with every day. She calls her pony Sparkle, because she has a shiny mane and tail. Anna likes to brush Sparkle's hair and make her run and jump. + +One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom and dad. She sees a big pony with a girl on its back. The pony is brown and white, and has a long braid in its hair. Anna thinks the pony is very pretty. She wants to ride the pony too. + +"Mom, dad, can I ride the pony?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, honey, you can ride the pony," mom says. "But you have to wait your turn, and be careful." + +Anna waits and watches the girl on the pony. The girl is smiling and waving. She looks very happy. Anna smiles too. She hopes the pony will like her. + +When it is Anna's turn, she walks up to the pony. The girl gets off the pony and gives her a helmet. + +"Hi, I'm Lily, and this is Daisy," the girl says. "Daisy is a very good pony. She likes carrots and apples. Do you want to give her one?" + +Anna nods. She takes a carrot from a basket and gives it to Daisy. Daisy crunches the carrot and nuzzles Anna's hand. Anna giggles. She likes Daisy too. + +"Thank you, Lily," Anna says. "Can I ride Daisy now?" + +"Sure, you can ride Daisy," Lily says. "But you have to hold on tight, and listen to the man. He will tell you what to do." + +Anna puts on the helmet and climbs on Daisy's back. The man helps her and holds the reins. He tells Anna to say "giddy up" to make Daisy go, and "whoa" to make Daisy stop. Anna says the words and Daisy starts to walk. Anna feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She feels like she is flying. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Anna says. "Daisy is a very nice pony. I love Daisy!" + +Daisy hears Anna and neighs. She is happy too. She likes Anna. + +Anna rides Daisy around the park. She sees the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the people. She waves to mom and dad, who are taking pictures. She waves to Lily, who is waiting for her turn. She waves to everyone who sees her. She is having the best time ever. + +When Anna is done, she gets off Daisy and hugs her. She thanks the man and Lily for letting her ride Daisy. She gives Daisy another carrot and a kiss. + +"Bye, Daisy, you are a very good pony," Anna says. "I hope I see you again." + +"Bye, Anna, you are a very good rider," Daisy says. "I hope you see you again too." + +Anna and Daisy are friends. They are not silly. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the museum with their moms. The museum has many things to see and learn. + +"Look, Ben, this is a dinosaur!" Anna says. She points to a big bone. "It is very old and big. It can roar and run." + +"Wow, Anna, it is amazing!" Ben says. He pretends to be a dinosaur. He acts like he is roaring and running. He makes Anna laugh. + +"Ben, Anna, come here!" their moms call. They want to show them something else. Ben and Anna stop acting and follow their moms. + +They see a big room with many pictures and colors. The pictures are of people and animals and places. The colors are bright and beautiful. The room is very organized. Everything has a place and a name. + +"What are these, mom?" Anna asks. + +"These are paintings, Anna. They are made by artists. Artists use paint and brushes to make pictures. They can show how they feel or what they imagine." her mom explains. + +"I like this one!" Ben says. He points to a painting of a clown. The clown has a big nose and a funny hat. He is smiling and holding balloons. "He looks happy and funny. He can act and make people laugh." + +"Yes, he does, Ben. He is a clown. Clowns are actors. They wear costumes and makeup to act and make people laugh." his mom says. + +Anna and Ben smile. They like the paintings. They think artists and clowns are cool. They want to act and make pictures too. They have fun at the museum. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. It is wide and shiny. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Anna says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun. They laugh and shout. + +But then, they see a boy. He is big and mean. He has a red ball. He throws the ball at the slide. The ball makes a loud noise. It makes the slide dirty. It has mud and grass on it. + +"Hey, stop that!" Anna says. + +"Make me!" the boy says. He throws the ball again. He hits Ben on the head. Ben cries. + +Anna is angry. She runs to the boy. She tries to take the ball. But the boy is stronger. He pushes Anna. She falls on the ground. She hurts her knee. + +The boy laughs. He runs away with the ball. He does not say sorry. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They look at the slide. It is not shiny anymore. It is dirty and wet. They do not want to go on the slide. + +They go to the bench. They sit down. They wipe their tears. They wipe the mud and grass from their clothes. They wish they had a sweet treat. They wish they had a nice friend. They wish they had a good day. But they do not. They have a bad day. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll that looked like a baby. Ben had a car that made noises. Lily liked her doll very much. She gave it a name and a bottle. Ben liked his car very much. He drove it around and made it go fast. + +"Can I see your baby?" Ben asked Lily. + +"OK, but be careful. She is very soft and small," Lily said. She handed her doll to Ben. + +Ben took the doll and looked at it. He did not think it was fun. It did not make noises or move. He threw it on the floor and went back to his car. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily cried. She ran to pick up her doll. She saw that the doll had a tear on its dress and a scratch on its face. She felt very sad and angry. She hugged her doll and said, "I'm sorry, baby. I love you." + +Lily looked at Ben and said, "You are mean. You hurt my baby. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Ben saw that Lily was upset. He felt bad. He did not mean to hurt her doll. He just wanted to see it. He was confused. He did not know what to say. He wished he did not throw the doll. He regretted it. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know you liked your baby so much. Can I say sorry to your baby too?" Ben asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She saw that Ben was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She said, "OK, but you have to be gentle. And you have to say sorry to me too." + +Ben nodded. He went to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, baby. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, we can be friends again. But next time, ask me before you touch my things. And don't throw them." + +Ben agreed. He said, "OK, I will. And you can see my car if you want. But don't crash it." + +Lily said, "OK, I won't. And maybe we can play something else together. Something that we both like." + +Ben said, "OK, that sounds good. What do you want to play?" + +Lily and Ben looked around and saw a big box. They had an idea. They said, "Let's make a fort!" They ran to the box and started to build their fort. They forgot about their toys and had fun together. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys and books, but they liked to draw the most. They had a big paper on the wall and many pencils and crayons. + +"Look, Lily, I can draw a cat!" Ben said, holding a black pencil. He made a circle for the head, two triangles for the ears, and a long line for the tail. + +"That's a nice cat, Ben. Can I draw a mouse?" Lily asked, picking a brown pencil. She made a smaller circle for the head, two dots for the eyes, and a curve for the tail. + +"Sure, Lily. But be careful, the cat might catch the mouse!" Ben said, laughing. + +"No, Ben, the cat is harmless. He is a good cat. He likes the mouse. See, I will draw a heart between them." Lily said, using a red pencil. She made a shape like a V with a bump on each side. + +"Wow, Lily, that's a beautiful heart. You are a good drawer. Can I hang our picture on the wall?" Ben asked, looking for some tape. + +"OK, Ben. But we have to ask Mom first. She might not like it if we stick things on the wall." Lily said, remembering the last time they got in trouble for making a mess. + +"OK, Lily. Let's go find Mom and show her our picture. Maybe she will like it and let us hang it on the wall." Ben said, taking Lily's hand. They left their room, holding their picture and their pencils. They were very proud of their work. They hoped Mom would like it too. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big picture of a whale on the wall. The whale was blue and had a big mouth. + +"Wow, look at the whale!" Sam said. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"I like the whale too," Mia said. "Do you think it can swim fast?" + +"Maybe," Sam said. "But I think it can also hang in the water. Like this." He lay down on the grass and lifted his arms and legs. + +Mia laughed. "That is funny, Sam. You look like a whale. But you are not blue." + +Sam laughed too. "You are right, Mia. I am not blue. But I can pretend. Can you pretend too?" + +Mia nodded. She lay down next to Sam and lifted her arms and legs. They both pretended to be whales, hanging in the water. + +They had fun playing whales until their mom called them. "Sam, Mia, time to go home!" + +They got up and ran to their mom. They gave her a hug and told her about the whale picture. + +"That sounds like a nice picture," their mom said. "Maybe we can see a real whale someday. Would you like that?" + +Sam and Mia nodded. They liked whales. They hoped to see one soon. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. Sara has a big red truck that she loves. Ben has a small blue car that he likes. + +One day, Ben asks Sara, "Can I lend your truck? My car is too small for the hill." + +Sara says, "OK, but be careful. My truck is not steel. It is plastic. Do not break it." + +Ben says, "Thank you, Sara. I will be careful. I will give it back soon." + +Ben takes the truck and drives it up and down the hill. He has fun. But then, he sees a big dog. The dog runs after the truck. Ben is scared. He drives the truck faster. But the dog is faster. The dog catches the truck and bites it. The truck breaks. Ben is sad. + +He goes back to Sara. He says, "Sara, I am sorry. The dog broke your truck. I did not mean to." + +Sara sees the broken truck. She is angry. She says, "Ben, you are not careful. You are bad. You broke my truck. I do not want to be your friend." + +Ben says, "Please, Sara. Do not be angry. I am sorry. I will buy you a new truck. Please be my friend." + +Sara thinks. She is still angry, but she is also sad. She likes Ben. She says, "OK, Ben. I am still angry, but I forgive you. You are my friend. But you have to buy me a new truck. And you have to be more careful next time." + +Ben says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. I will buy you a new truck. And I will be more careful next time." + +They hug. They are friends again. They go to play with other toys. They are happy. +Tom and Amy are friends. They like to play with blocks. They want to build a big tower with the blocks. They use many blocks to make the tower. They are happy. + +But then, Ben comes. Ben is not nice. He wants to play with the blocks too. He does not ask Tom and Amy. He takes some blocks from their tower. He makes his own tower. He says, "My tower is better than yours!" + +Tom and Amy are sad. Their tower is not big anymore. They do not like Ben. They say, "Ben, stop! You are not fair! Give us back our blocks!" + +Ben does not listen. He laughs. He says, "No, I will not. These are my blocks now. You can't have them!" + +Tom and Amy are angry. They think of a plan. They wait for Ben to look away. Then, they push his tower. His tower falls down. The blocks scatter. Ben is surprised. He cries. He says, "Hey, that's not nice! You broke my tower!" + +Tom and Amy say, "Now you know how we feel. You broke our tower first. You should share the blocks. Sharing is nice." + +Ben is sorry. He says, "I'm sorry. I was not nice. Can we be friends? Can we play together?" + +Tom and Amy say, "Yes, we can. But you have to be nice. And you have to share the blocks." + +Ben says, "OK, I will. I'm sorry." + +They use the blocks to make a new tower. They make it bigger and better than before. They are happy. They are friends. They have success. +Lily and Ben were playing with paper and scissors. They wanted to make a big picture of a house with a garden and a dog. They cut out shapes and colors from the paper. They had a lot of fun. + +But they needed something to stick the paper together. They looked around and saw a bottle of glue on the shelf. Lily reached for it and opened it. She smelled it and made a face. "Yuck! This glue is smelly!" she said. Ben smelled it too and agreed. "It smells like old cheese!" he said. + +They decided to use the glue anyway. They put some glue on the paper and pressed it together. They put more glue and more paper until they had a big picture. They were very proud of their work. + +But then they saw a problem. The glue was dripping from the paper. It was making a mess on the floor and on their hands. It was sticky and smelly and hard to get off. They tried to wipe it with a cloth, but it only made it worse. + +They heard their mom coming. They were scared. They knew they were in trouble. They hid the picture under the table and ran to the bathroom. They tried to wash the glue off with soap and water, but it was still there. They hoped their mom would not find out. They hoped the glue would go away. They wished they had used a different glue. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big river near their house. It looked fun and shiny. They wanted to go near it and splash in the water. + +But their mom told them, "No, you cannot go to the river. It is too deep and fast. You could fall in and get hurt. You have to stay away from the river and play in the yard." + +Ben and Lily did not listen to their mom. They waited until she was busy and ran to the river. They threw stones and sticks in the water and laughed. They did not see how close they were to the edge. + +Suddenly, Ben slipped on a wet rock and fell into the river. He screamed and tried to swim, but the water was too strong. He was scared and hurt. Lily saw him and cried for help. + +Their mom heard them and ran to the river. She jumped in and grabbed Ben. She pulled him out and hugged him. She was angry and sad. She said, "Ben, you are very lucky. You could have drowned. Why did you not listen to me? I told you to stay away from the river. It is dangerous. You have to obey me and be careful." + +Ben was sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I will never go to the river again. I love you, mom." + +Lily was sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong too. I should have stopped Ben. I will never go to the river again. I love you, mom." + +Their mom forgave them and took them home. She said, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. But you have to learn from your mistake. The river is not a toy. It is a powerful force of nature. You have to respect it and stay away from it. That is how you stay safe and happy." + +The end. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have a big box of toys with cars, trains, blocks and animals. They take out their toys and make a lot of noise. + +"Look, I have a red car!" Tim says. + +"I have a blue train!" Sam says. + +They zoom their toys around the carpet and pretend to have races and crashes. They have fun. + +But then, Mom comes in. She is not happy. She sees the mess of toys on the floor. + +"Boys, boys, what are you doing?" Mom says. "You have to clean up your toys. It is time for dinner." + +Tim and Sam do not want to clean up. They want to play more. + +"Please, Mom, can we play a little longer?" Tim says. + +"No, you have to clean up now. It is not fair to leave your toys everywhere. Someone could trip and get hurt." Mom says. + +Tim and Sam sigh. They know Mom is right. They start to put their toys back in the box. But the box is very heavy. It has a lot of toys inside. + +"Can you help me, Sam?" Tim says. "I can't lift the box. It has too much weight." + +"OK, Tim, I will help you." Sam says. "We can do it together." + +They both grab the box and try to lift it. It is hard. They have to use all their strength. They manage to lift the box and carry it to the corner of the living room. They put it down and wipe their sweat. + +"Wow, that was hard!" Tim says. + +"Yes, it was. But we did it!" Sam says. + +They high-five each other. They are proud of themselves. + +Mom sees them and smiles. She is glad that they cleaned up their toys. She is also glad that they helped each other. + +"Good job, boys. I am proud of you too. You are good brothers." Mom says. + +She hugs them and kisses them. She takes them to the kitchen for dinner. + +Tim and Sam are happy. They love their Mom. They love their toys. They love each other. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon. It is red and shiny. They want to play with it. + +They run to the balloon. But a man is there. He is ugly and mean. He says the balloon is his. He does not want to share. He yells at Lila and Tom. They are scared. + +The man grabs the balloon. He uses a pin to pop it. The balloon makes a loud noise. Lila and Tom cry. The man laughs. He is very bad. + +The balloon had air inside. The air was good for Lila and Tom. They need air for their lungs. Their lungs help them breathe. But the man does not care. He takes the air away. + +Lila and Tom feel sick. They cannot breathe well. They fall to the ground. The man walks away. He does not help them. He does not say sorry. He is very ugly and mean. + +Lila and Tom do not get up. They do not play anymore. They do not see the park. They do not see each other. They are gone. The man is gone too. But the pin is still there. It is small and sharp. It is very bad. +Lily loves to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, when she eats, and when she goes to bed. She sings happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and pretty songs. She sings with her toys, her friends, and her family. + +One day, Lily decides to sing a fashion show. She puts on her lovely dress, her shiny shoes, and her sparkly hat. She asks her mom to help her with her hair and makeup. She looks in the mirror and smiles. She feels like a star. + +She goes to the living room, where her dad and her brother are waiting. She picks up her microphone and says, "Hello, everyone! Welcome to Lily's fashion show! I will sing for you some of my favorite songs. Are you ready?" Her dad and her brother clap and cheer. + +Lily starts to sing. She sings about flowers, rainbows, butterflies, and stars. She sings about love, friendship, dreams, and fun. She sings with her voice, her face, and her body. She twirls, jumps, bows, and waves. She sings with joy, passion, confidence, and grace. + +Her dad and her brother are amazed. They think Lily is the best singer in the world. They give her a big hug and a kiss. They tell her how proud they are of her. They tell her how beautiful she is. They tell her how much they love her. Lily feels happy. She thanks them for watching her show. She says, "I love to sing. Singing makes me happy. And I love you, too." They all smile and sing together. +Lily was a spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, clothes and sweets, but she was never happy. She always wanted more and more, and she never shared with anyone. + +One day, she saw a new doll in the shop window. She wanted it so much that she threw a tantrum and cried. Her mother was tired of her behavior and said, "No, Lily, you have enough dolls at home. You don't need another one. Stop crying and let's go home." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran away from her mother and went inside the shop. She grabbed the doll and tried to run out, but the shopkeeper saw her and shouted, "Hey, you! Stop! That's not yours!" + +Lily was scared and ran faster. She saw the door and ran towards it, but she did not see the stair in front of it. She tripped over the stair and fell down. The doll flew out of her hands and broke into pieces. + +Lily hurt her knee and her nose. She started to cry louder than before. Her mother came and picked her up. She was angry and sad. She said, "Lily, what have you done? You have been very naughty and selfish. You have stolen a doll and broken it. You have hurt yourself and the shopkeeper. You should be ashamed of yourself." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She realized that she had been a spoiled girl and that she had done a bad thing. She said, "I'm sorry, mommy. I'm sorry, shopkeeper. I was wrong. I don't want the doll anymore. I want to be a good girl and share with others." + +Her mother hugged her and said, "I'm glad you understand, Lily. But you still have to face the consequences. You have to apologize to the shopkeeper and pay for the doll. You also have to give away some of your toys to other children who have less than you. And you have to be more grateful and happy with what you have." + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mommy. I will do that. I don't want to be a spoiled girl anymore. I want to be a good girl and make you happy." + +The shopkeeper heard her and smiled. He said, "That's very brave of you, Lily. I accept your apology and I forgive you. But you still have to pay for the doll. It costs ten coins." + +Lily looked at her mother and said, "Mommy, can I pay for the doll with my piggy bank?" + +Her mother said, "Yes, Lily, you can. But you have to work hard and save up your coins. You can't buy anything else until you pay for the doll." + +Lily said, "OK, mommy. I will do that. I will work hard and save up my coins. And I will never steal or jump over a stair again." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. Yesterday, they found a big box in the garage. The box had many old toys inside. They saw a red car, a blue train, a yellow duck and a green frog. + +"Wow, look at these toys!" Tom said. "They are so cool!" + +"Let's play with them!" Sam said. "I want the car and the train. You can have the duck and the frog." + +They took the toys out of the box and played on the floor. They made noises and had fun. They did not see Tom's mom come into the garage. + +"Tom, what are you doing with these toys?" she asked. "They are not yours. They belong to your uncle. He wants to sell them at the market." + +"Sell them?" Tom asked. "But we like them. Can we keep them, please?" + +"No, you can't, Tom. Your uncle needs the money. He will be here soon to pick them up. You have to put them back in the box." she said. + +Tom and Sam felt sad. They did not want to give up the toys. They liked them very much. + +"Can we play with them for a little longer?" Sam asked. + +"Okay, but only for a little longer. Then you have to say goodbye to them." she said. + +Tom and Sam played with the toys for a little longer. They pretended that the car and the train were racing on a deep road. They pretended that the duck and the frog were swimming in a deep pond. They had fun, but they also felt sorry. + +"Bye, car. Bye, train. Bye, duck. Bye, frog. We will miss you." they said as they put the toys back in the box. + +They hugged each other and said goodbye. They hoped that the toys would find new friends at the market. They hoped that they would see each other again soon. They were sad, but they were also happy. They had each other. They were friends. +Lily liked to sing. She sang every day in her room, in the garden, and in the car. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. She sang loud and clear, and sometimes she made up her own words. + +One day, she heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it and saw her neighbor, Ben. Ben was a boy who lived next door. He was older than Lily, but he was friendly and kind. + +"Hi, Lily," Ben said. "I heard you singing. You have a nice voice. Do you want to sing with me?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She liked Ben, and she liked to sing. She grabbed her favorite toy microphone and followed Ben to his house. He had a guitar and a keyboard. He played some music and Lily sang along. They sang songs they both knew, and some they learned from each other. + +They had a lot of fun. They were enthusiastic singers. They did not care if they made mistakes or sounded funny. They just enjoyed the music and each other's company. + +Lily's mom came to pick her up later. She thanked Ben and his mom for inviting Lily. She hugged Lily and said, "You sound very happy, sweetie. Did you have a good time?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I sang with Ben. He is my friend. He likes to sing too. Can I sing with him again?" + +Lily's mom smiled and said, "Of course, honey. Singing is a wonderful way to make friends. I'm glad you found someone who shares your passion." +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a fat folder in the classroom. The folder has many papers with words and numbers. + +"Look, Tim, what is this?" Sue asks. + +"I don't know, Sue. Maybe it is a book. Can we open it?" Tim says. + +They open the folder and see many papers. Some papers have red marks and some have gold stars. They do not understand the words and numbers. + +"Wow, these are pretty. Can we take some?" Sue says. + +"Okay, Sue. But we have to be quiet. The teacher will be angry if she sees us." Tim says. + +They take some papers and put them in their bags. They are happy. They think they have a new book. + +But the teacher comes back and sees the folder. She is very angry. She sees the papers are missing. She knows Tim and Sue took them. + +"Tim and Sue, come here. What did you do?" the teacher says. + +Tim and Sue are scared. They do not want to go. + +"Tim and Sue, you are very bad. You took the papers from the folder. The folder is not a book. The folder is my name. It has my work. You made a big mess. You have to give back the papers and say sorry." the teacher says. + +Tim and Sue are very sad. They give back the papers and say sorry. The teacher is still angry. She says they have to stay in the classroom and not play. They cry and wish they did not take the papers. They wish they did not open the folder. They wish they did not see the name. +Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. But they do not like the goose. The goose is big and mean.

They do not want to be bitten. They say sorry to the goose. The goose stops chasing them. It calms down. It goes back to the grass. It sleeps again. + +Tom and Sue learn a lesson. They do not hate the goose anymore. They do not bother the goose anymore. They play in the park. They have fun. They are happy. +Sam and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and make up stories. One day, they found a big board in the garage. It was brown and flat and had four wheels. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sam said. "It is a board with wheels. We can ride on it and go fast." + +"Let's try it!" Ben said. "It looks fun and exciting." + +They took the board outside and put it on the sidewalk. Sam got on the board and held Ben's hand. Ben pushed him along and they both laughed. + +"This is awesome!" Sam said. "We are like superheroes on the board." + +They went faster and faster, until they reached the end of the street. There was a big car coming. Sam and Ben did not see it. They did not hear it. They did not stop. + +The car hit them and the board. There was a loud noise and a lot of pain. Sam and Ben flew in the air and landed on the ground. They did not get up. They did not laugh. They did not play. + +The board was broken and the car was dented. The driver got out and called for help. He was scared and sorry. He did not mean to hurt them. + +But it was too late. Sam and Ben were gone. They had an ordinary day that turned into a bad day. They had a fun and exciting game that turned into a sad and tragic game. They had a big board that became a small board. They had a best friend that became a memory. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her toys. She had a big box of toys in her room, but her favorite toy was a red fox. She named him Foxy and took him everywhere. She liked to pretend that Foxy could talk and fly. + +One day, Lily and Foxy went to the park with her mom. Lily saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She asked her mom if she could take Foxy with her. Her mom said yes, but told her to be careful. Lily climbed up the slide and held Foxy in her arms. She was very happy and excited. + +She slid down the slide very fast and shouted, "Whee!" But then, something bad happened. Foxy slipped out of her arms and flew in the air. He landed on a branch of a tall tree. Lily was very sad and scared. She cried, "Foxy, Foxy, come back!" + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She saw Foxy on the tree and tried to reach him. But the tree was too high and she could not get him. She said, "Oh no, Lily, I'm sorry. Foxy is stuck on the tree. We need to get some help." + +Lily and her mom looked around and saw a man with a ladder. He was wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He had a big truck with a sign that said, "Bob's Tree Service". He was cutting some branches from another tree. Lily and her mom ran to him and asked him for help. They told him about Foxy and pointed to the tree. + +The man looked at the tree and saw Foxy. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can get him for you. He's a very cute fox. Is he your toy?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, he's my toy. He's my best friend. He can fly and talk. He's very expensive. Please, please, get him for me." + +The man said, "Okay, okay, I will. But you have to wait here and be safe. Don't go near the tree. It can be dangerous." He took his ladder and his tools and went to the tree. He climbed up the ladder and reached for Foxy. He grabbed him gently and brought him down. He gave him to Lily and said, "Here you go, little girl. Here's your flying fox. He's safe and sound." + +Lily hugged Foxy and thanked the man. She was very happy and relieved. She said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are very nice and helpful. You saved Foxy. You are my hero." The man laughed and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome. I'm glad I could help. You and Foxy have fun. But be careful next time. Don't let him fly away again." + +Lily and her mom thanked the man again and went back to the slide. Lily played with Foxy and told him stories. She said, "Foxy, you are very brave and lucky. You flew very high and saw a lot of things. But you also scared me a lot. I don't want to lose you. You are my best friend. You are very expensive. I love you very much." Foxy nodded and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my best friend. You are very expensive. I'm sorry I flew away. I won't do it again. I promise." They hugged and kissed and smiled. They were very happy. The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They live on a farm with their mom and dad. They love to play with the animals and help with the chores. + +One morning, Lily and Ben wake up early. They stretch their arms and legs and jump out of bed. They put on their clothes and run downstairs. + +"Good morning, mom and dad!" they say. + +"Good morning, Lily and Ben!" mom and dad say. "Are you ready for a big day on the farm?" + +"Yes, we are!" Lily and Ben say. + +Mom and dad give them a hug and a kiss and a bowl of cereal. Then they go outside to start their work. + +Lily and Ben follow them. They see the sun shining and the sky blue. They see the cows mooing and the chickens clucking. They see the flowers blooming and the grass green. They think the farm is beautiful. + +They help mom and dad feed the animals, collect the eggs, water the plants, and rake the hay. They have fun and learn a lot. They also make some new friends. They pet the dog, the cat, the horse, and the goat. They laugh with the pig, the duck, the sheep, and the rabbit. + +They are happy on the farm. They love their mom and dad and their animals and their plants. They think the farm is the best place to be. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but then Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted it. + +"Give me your doll, Lily. I want to play with it," Ben said. + +"No, Ben. It is my doll. You have your car," Lily said. + +Ben did not listen. He grabbed the doll from Lily and ran away. Lily was sad and angry. She chased Ben and tried to get her doll back. + +"Stop, Ben. Give me my doll. You are mean," Lily said. + +Ben did not stop. He ran to the kitchen and hid behind the table. He looked at the doll and smiled. He thought he was clever. But then he saw something shiny on the table. It was a spoon. Ben liked shiny things. He dropped the doll and reached for the spoon. + +But the spoon was not a toy. It was a magic spoon. It belonged to Lily and Ben's mom. She used it to make yummy food. She also used it to make things vanish. She said it was a secret and they should never touch it. + +Ben did not know that. He touched the spoon and said, "I wish Lily would vanish. Then I can have all the toys." + +Suddenly, Lily vanished. She was gone. Ben was shocked. He did not want Lily to vanish. He wanted her to play with him. He was scared and sorry. + +He dropped the spoon and ran to the living room. He looked for Lily, but he could not find her. He saw the doll on the floor. It was broken. He had broken it when he dropped it. He felt bad. He wished he could fix the doll and bring Lily back. + +He heard a voice behind him. It was his mom. She had seen everything. She was not happy. + +"Ben, what did you do? Where is Lily? Why is the doll broken?" she asked. + +Ben started to cry. He told his mom what he did. He said he was sorry. He said he wanted Lily and the doll back. + +His mom hugged him and said, "Ben, you made a big mistake. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not wish bad things for others. You should be kind and share. That is how you make friends and have fun." + +She picked up the spoon and said, "Luckily, I can undo your wish. But you have to promise me you will never touch the spoon again. And you have to say sorry to Lily and fix the doll." + +Ben nodded and said, "I promise, mom. I am sorry. I love Lily and the doll." + +His mom smiled and said, "I love you, Ben. Now, let's bring Lily back." + +She touched the spoon and said, "I wish Lily would come back." + +Suddenly, Lily came back. She was in the living room. She was confused and scared. She saw Ben and the doll. She saw her mom and the spoon. She did not know what happened. + +Her mom explained everything to her. She said Ben was sorry and he wanted to play with her. She said he would fix the doll and share his car. + +Lily was happy. She hugged Ben and said, "I forgive you, Ben. I love you. Let's play together." + +Ben hugged Lily and said, "I am sorry, Lily. I love you. Let's play together." + +They played with the doll and the car. They were kind and happy. They learned their lesson. They never touched the spoon again. +Tim and Sue like to play in the garden. They dig with their shovels and make mud pies. One day, they see a small hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside. + +They put their ears near the hole and listen. They hear a soft sound. It sounds like a snore. They think it is a sleeping animal. They want to see it. + +They use their shovels to make the hole bigger. They are careful not to hurt the animal. They see a furry nose poke out of the dirt. It is a mole. The mole is awake now. It does not like the light. It does not like the noise. It is scared. + +The mole screams. It is a loud scream. It hurts Tim and Sue's ears. They drop their shovels and run away. They are scared too. + +The mole goes back into the hole. It is safe and dark. It is quiet. It is happy. + +Tim and Sue go to their mom. They tell her what they saw. They tell her what they heard. They are still shaking. Mom hugs them and calms them down. She tells them that moles are shy animals. They do not like to be disturbed. She tells them to be more alert when they play in the garden. She tells them to respect the moles and their homes. She tells them to be kind to all living things. Tim and Sue nod and say sorry. They learn a lesson. They are happy too. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their toy trains. They have many engines, cars and tracks. They make a big loop on the floor of their room. + +"Look, Ben, this is my new engine!" Sam says. He holds a red engine with a shiny whistle. "It can go very fast and make loud noises. Do you want to try it?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. He takes the red engine from Sam and puts it on the track. He pushes a button and the engine starts to move. It goes faster and faster around the loop. It makes a whoosh sound and a toot-toot sound. + +Sam and Ben clap and laugh. They watch the red engine zoom by. They see their other engines and cars on the track. They are slower and quieter. + +"Can I have my engine back, Ben?" Sam asks. He wants to play with his new toy. + +"Wait a minute, Sam. I like this engine. It is fun and cool. Can I keep it?" Ben asks. He does not want to give the red engine to Sam. + +"No, Ben. It is mine. I got it for my birthday. You have your own engines. Give it back!" Sam says. He is angry and sad. He reaches for the red engine. + +"Stop, Sam. It is mine now. I do not want to share. Go away!" Ben says. He is stubborn and mean. He pulls the red engine away from Sam. + +Sam and Ben start to fight. They tug and pull on the red engine. They yell and cry. They do not hear their mom calling them from downstairs. + +"Sam! Ben! Come down for lunch!" Mom says. She is in the kitchen. She has made sandwiches and juice for them. She does not know they are fighting. + +Sam and Ben do not listen. They are too busy fighting. They do not see the red engine slip from their hands. They do not see it fly off the track. They do not see it hit the wall. They do not see it break into pieces. + +They only hear a loud crash. They stop fighting. They look at the red engine. It is broken. It does not move. It does not make noises. It is silent. + +Sam and Ben are shocked. They are sorry. They are sad. + +"Sam, I am sorry. I did not mean to break your engine. It was your birthday present. I was selfish and bad. Can you forgive me?" Ben says. He has tears in his eyes. + +"Ben, I am sorry too. I did not mean to fight with you. You are my brother. I love you. I can share my toys with you. Can you forgive me?" Sam says. He has tears in his eyes too. + +Sam and Ben hug each other. They are friends again. They are happy. + +They hear their mom calling them again. + +"Sam! Ben! Come down for lunch! It is getting cold!" Mom says. She is still in the kitchen. She does not know what happened. + +Sam and Ben pick up the pieces of the red engine. They put them in a box. They hope they can fix it later. They leave their room. They go downstairs. They join their mom for lunch. + +They do not tell her about the red engine. They do not want to make her sad. They do not want to get in trouble. They do not want to spoil their day. + +They eat their sandwiches and drink their juice. They talk and laugh. They are hungry and thirsty. They are brothers and friends. + +They do not hear the distant sound of a real train. It passes by their house. It has a big engine. It goes very fast and makes loud noises. It makes a whoosh sound and a toot-toot sound. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play games. One day, they go to the mall with Mom. Mom says they can ride the elevator. + +"Let's play a game," Lily says. "Who can push the button first?" + +"Okay," Ben says. "But I will win." + +They run to the elevator. Lily is faster. She pushes the button. The elevator door opens. + +"I win!" Lily says. She jumps in the elevator. + +Ben is sad. He walks in the elevator. He sees many buttons. He has an idea. + +"I will push this button," he says. He pushes the button with a big D. + +The elevator starts to move. It goes down, down, down. It stops. + +The door opens. Lily and Ben see a dark place. It is the basement. It is deep. + +"Where are we?" Lily asks. She is scared. + +"I don't know," Ben says. He is scared too. + +They hear a loud noise. It is the elevator door. It closes. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say. They are trapped. + +They cry. They want Mom. + +Mom hears them. She runs to the elevator. She pushes the button. The elevator door opens. + +Mom sees Lily and Ben. She hugs them. + +"Are you okay?" Mom asks. + +"Yes," Lily and Ben say. + +They are happy to see Mom. + +They are sorry for playing the game. + +They don't want to ride the elevator again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big statue of a lion. The statue is brown and shiny. It has a long tail and sharp teeth. + +"Wow, look at the lion!" Lily says. "It is so big and strong!" + +"I bet I can run faster than the lion!" Ben says. "Do you want to race me?" + +Lily nods. She likes to run. She thinks she is fast. They stand next to the statue. They count to three. Then they run. + +Lily runs as fast as she can. She feels the wind in her hair. She sees the trees and the flowers. She smiles. She thinks she will win. + +But Ben runs faster. He passes Lily. He runs to the end of the park. He turns around and shouts. "I win! I win! I am faster than the lion!" + +Lily stops. She feels sad. She wanted to win. She walks to Ben. She sees him jumping and laughing. + +"Ben, you are fast. But you are not nice. You make me feel bad. You are not a good friend." Lily says. + +Ben stops. He looks at Lily. He sees her face. She has tears in her eyes. He feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt her. + +"Lily, I am sorry. I was just having fun. I did not want to make you feel bad. You are a good friend. And you are fast too. Do you want to play with me?" Ben says. + +Lily looks at Ben. She sees his face. He has a smile in his eyes. She feels better. She nods. She wants to play with him. + +"OK, Ben. I forgive you. Let's play. But no more racing. Let's play with the lion. Maybe he is lonely." Lily says. + +They hug. They run back to the statue. They pretend to be lions. They roar and jump. They have fun. They are friends. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. They run to the tree and look for bugs and birds. + +"Look, Sara, a hole!" Ben says. He points to a hole in the tree trunk. "Maybe there is a squirrel inside." + +Sara is curious. She goes closer to the hole and peeks inside. She blinks. She sees something shiny and bright. + +"Ben, Ben, come here!" Sara calls. "I see gold in the hole!" + +Ben runs to Sara and looks inside the hole too. He blinks. He sees gold coins and jewels. They are wide-eyed with wonder. + +"Wow, Sara, we found treasure!" Ben says. "Maybe a pirate hid it here long ago." + +Sara and Ben are very happy. They want to take some gold home. But they hear a voice from the hole. + +"Ahoy, mateys, what are you doing with my gold?" The voice says. It sounds grumpy and scary. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the gold and run away. They think it is the pirate who hid the gold. They do not want to meet him. + +They run back to their mom and dad. They tell them what they saw in the hole. Mom and dad smile and hug them. + +"It was just a prank, Sara and Ben," Mom says. "We put some fake gold and a speaker in the hole. We wanted to surprise you and have some fun." + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They feel silly and laugh. They are not mad at mom and dad. They think it was a funny joke. + +They hug mom and dad and say thank you. They had a fun day in the park. They learned that gold is not always real. And that blinking can help them see better. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be knights. They have helmets and shields and swords. Swords are weapons. They use weapons to fight bad guys. + +Tim has a long sword. Sam has a short sword. Sam wants to have a long sword too. He thinks it is better. He asks Tim, "Can I borrow your sword? Please?" + +Tim says, "No, this is my sword. You have your own sword. We can share other things, but not swords. Swords are special." + +Sam is sad. He does not like Tim's answer. He thinks Tim is mean. He says, "Fine, I don't want to play with you. You are not a good friend. You are a bad knight." + +Tim is angry. He does not like Sam's words. He says, "You are the bad knight. You are not fair. You want to take my sword. You are a thief." + +They start to fight. They hit each other with their swords. They hurt each other. They cry. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to be friends. You are supposed to play nice. You are not supposed to use weapons to hurt each other. You are supposed to use weapons to pretend." + +She takes their swords away. She says, "You can't have your swords back until you say sorry. And you can't play pretend until you learn to share. Sharing is caring. Caring is good. Fighting is bad. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Sam nod. They feel sorry. They say sorry. They hug. They are friends again. They say, "We understand. We are sorry. We will share. We will care. We will play nice. We will not fight." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I'm glad. You are good knights. You are good friends. You can have your swords back. But remember, weapons are for pretend, not for real. OK?" + +Tim and Sam say, "OK. Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +They take their swords back. They put on their helmets and shields. They play pretend. They have fun. They are happy. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have many toys. They have balls, cars, dolls, and books. + +One day, Lily and Ben see a big sign in the park. The sign says "Toy Sale". They are curious. They go to see the sign. + +They see a man with a table. He has many toys on the table. He has toys that Lily and Ben do not have. He has puzzles, trains, robots, and animals. They are different from their toys. + +"Hello, kids," the man says. "Do you want to buy some toys? They are very cheap. Only one dollar each." + +Lily and Ben look at the toys. They want to buy some. But they do not have any money. + +"Can we trade some toys?" Lily asks. "We have many toys, too. Maybe you like some of our toys." + +The man thinks. He looks at Lily and Ben's toys. He sees some toys that he likes. + +"OK," he says. "I will trade some toys with you. You can choose one toy from my table for each toy that you give me." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They trade some of their toys with the man. They get some new and different toys. They thank the man and go back to play in the park. They have more fun with their new toys. They share them with each other. They are good friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big squash. It is green and round. + +"Look, a squash!" Tom says. "Can we eat it?" + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe we can ask Mom." + +They run to the house. They find Mom in the kitchen. She is making soup. + +"Mom, Mom, can we eat this squash?" Tom asks. He holds up the squash. + +Mom smiles. She takes the squash from Tom. She cuts it in half. She scoops out the seeds. She puts the squash in a pot. + +"You can eat the squash, but not now," Mom says. "We have to cook it first. It will change. It will become soft and sweet. Then we can have it for lunch." + +Tom and Sam are curious. They watch the squash in the pot. They see the water boil. They smell the squash. It smells good. + +"Is it ready, Mom?" Sam asks. + +"Not yet, my dear," Mom says. "We have to wait a little longer." + +Tom and Sam are patient. They play with their toys. They hear the timer beep. Mom turns off the stove. She takes the pot. She pours the squash into a blender. She pushes a button. The blender makes a loud noise. The squash becomes smooth and orange. + +Mom pours the squash into bowls. She adds some cream and salt. She gives a bowl to Tom and a bowl to Sam. She takes a bowl for herself. + +"Here you go, boys," Mom says. "This is squash soup. It is yummy and healthy. Try it and see." + +Tom and Sam take a spoon. They blow on the soup. They taste it. It is warm and creamy. It is sweet and salty. It is delicious. + +"Mmm, this is good, Mom," Tom says. "Thank you for the squash soup." + +"Yes, thank you, Mom," Sam says. "I like the squash soup." + +Mom smiles. She is glad. She likes the squash soup too. + +They eat the squash soup. They are happy. They are full. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue. It looked like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at that balloon!" Tom said. "I wish I could fly like that." + +"Me too," Lily said. "Maybe we can find a way to fly." + +They ran around the park, looking for something to help them fly. They saw a swing, a slide, a seesaw, and a sandbox. But none of them could make them fly. + +Then they saw a mysterious box under a tree. It was shiny and had a button on it. Tom and Lily were curious. They went to the box and opened it. + +Inside the box, they found two helmets with wings on them. They looked like bird helmets. Tom and Lily put them on. They felt a tingling in their heads. + +"Let's try them!" Tom said. He pressed the button on his helmet. Suddenly, he felt a lift in his body. He was flying! + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said. He soared in the air, feeling the wind and the sun. He saw the balloon up close. It was even more beautiful. + +"Lily, come on!" Tom said. He looked down and saw Lily on the ground. She was afraid. + +"I don't want to fly," Lily said. "It's too high and scary. I want to stay here." + +"But it's fun and easy," Tom said. "You just have to press the button and let go. Trust me, you'll love it." + +Lily looked at Tom. He looked so happy and free. She wanted to be like him. She took a deep breath and pressed the button on her helmet. She felt a lift in her body. She was flying too! + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Lily said. She joined Tom in the air, feeling the wind and the sun. She saw the balloon up close. It was even more beautiful. + +Tom and Lily flew together, laughing and singing. They felt like birds. They forgot about everything else. They didn't know that the box had a timer on it. They didn't know that the helmets had a limit. They didn't know what would happen when the time ran out. + +The result was a big surprise. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. But then the sky became dark and they heard a loud boom. It was a storm! + +"Quick, let's go home!" mom said. She took their hands and ran to the car. But the car was far away and the rain was very wet. They got soaked and cold. + +"I don't like the storm. It's scary!" Mia said. + +"Me too. I want to be dry and warm!" Ben said. + +Mom tried to calm them down. "Don't worry, we'll be home soon. Then we can have hot chocolate and cookies. And we can read your favorite book. The one with the funny animals." + +They reached the car and got inside. Mom turned on the heater and the radio. They heard a song they liked and started to sing along. The storm was still loud, but they felt better. + +They drove for a while and then they saw their home. It was bright and cozy. Mom parked the car and opened the door. They ran inside and hugged dad, who was waiting for them. + +"Welcome home, my wet and brave kids!" dad said. He gave them towels and kissed their cheeks. "How was your day?" + +They told him about the park and the storm and the car. They laughed and smiled. Then they had hot chocolate and cookies. And they read their favorite book. The one with the funny animals. + +They were dry and warm and happy. They forgot about the storm. They loved their home. +Lily was proud of her drawing. She used many colors and shapes to make a picture of her family and her dog. She wanted to show it to her mom and dad, but they were busy in the kitchen. She decided to cover her drawing with a big paper and hide it under her bed. She would surprise them later. + +She went to the living room and played with her toys. She saw her dog, Spot, lying on the couch. He looked bored and lonely. She decided to play with him. She threw a ball and he ran after it. He brought it back to her and wagged his tail. She scratched his ears and said, "You are a good dog, Spot. I love you." + +Spot licked her face and made her giggle. He smelled something under the couch. He crawled under it and found a sock. He pulled it out and started to chew on it. He liked the taste and the sound. He did not know it was Lily's sock. He did not know Lily would be sad. + +Lily heard a rip and saw Spot with her sock. She was angry and scared. She ran to him and tried to take it back. She said, "No, Spot, no! That is my sock! Give it to me!" But Spot did not listen. He thought it was a game. He growled and tugged harder. He ripped the sock in half. + +Lily cried and ran to her room. She was sad and hurt. She felt like Spot did not love her. She wanted her mom and dad. She crawled under her bed and found her drawing. She looked at it and felt a little better. She hugged it and put her thumb in her mouth. She said, "This is my drawing. It is good. I am proud of it. Spot can't have it. It is mine." She covered it with the paper and lay down. She waited for her mom and dad to come. She hoped they would like her drawing. She hoped they would love her. +Tom and Lily were ducks who lived in a pond. They liked to swim and play with their friends. But one day, they saw a big fish in the water. The fish looked hungry and mean. + +"Quack, quack, go away, fish!" Tom said. "This is our pond, not yours!" + +But the fish did not listen. He swam closer and closer to the ducks. He opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth. + +"Quack, quack, help, help!" Lily said. "The fish wants to eat us!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want to be fish food. They had to fight the fish. They flapped their wings and pecked his nose. They splashed water in his eyes. They made loud noises. + +"Quack, quack, leave us alone, fish!" Tom and Lily said. "You are not nice, you are mean!" + +The fish did not like the ducks' fight. He felt pain and fear. He decided to swim away and look for other food. He did not want to mess with the ducks again. + +"Quack, quack, we did it, we did it!" Tom and Lily said. "We fought the fish and saved our pond!" + +They hugged each other and smiled. They were happy and proud. They swam back to their friends and told them the story. Their friends cheered and clapped. They all had a party and ate some bread. They were not hungry anymore. They were safe and happy in their pond. +Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big apple tree in the park. The apples were red and shiny and looked very yummy. + +"Let's pick some apples!" Tom said, enthusiastic. "We can eat them for snack!" + +"OK!" Anna said, enthusiastic too. They ran to the tree and tried to reach the apples. But the apples were too high for them. They could not get any. + +"Maybe we can find a stick or a stone to knock them down," Tom said. He looked around and saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and swung it at the tree. + +But Tom was not careful. He hit the tree too hard and the stick bounced back. It hit Anna on the head and made her cry. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Anna cried. She held her head and felt blood. She was hurt and scared. + +Tom dropped the stick and ran to Anna. He was sorry and scared too. + +"I'm sorry, Anna! I'm sorry! Are you OK?" Tom said. He tried to help Anna, but he did not know what to do. + +A lady who was walking her dog heard the cry and came to see what happened. She saw Anna and Tom and the blood and the stick. She was angry and worried. + +"What did you do?" the lady said. She called for help and took Anna to the hospital. She told Tom's and Anna's parents what happened. + +Tom and Anna learned a lesson. They learned that they should not be greedy and careless. They learned that they should be careful and kind. They learned that apples are not worth hurting a friend. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a penny. Ben picked it up and showed it to Lily. + +"Look, I found a penny!" he said. + +"Wow, can I see?" Lily asked. + +Ben gave her the penny. She looked at it and smiled. + +"It is so pretty. Can I keep it?" she said. + +Ben shook his head. He wanted the penny back. + +"No, it is mine. I found it first. Give it back!" he said. + +Lily did not want to give it back. She liked the penny. She ran away with it. + +"Hey, stop! That is not fair!" Ben shouted. + +He chased after her. He was angry. He did not understand why she took his penny. + +Lily ran to the fountain. She thought it was a good place to hide. She did not see the water. She slipped and fell into the fountain. She got wet and cold. She dropped the penny. It sank to the bottom. + +"Help! Help!" she cried. + +Ben heard her cry. He ran to the fountain. He saw her in the water. He was scared. He did not know how to swim. + +"Help! Help!" he cried too. + +No one heard them.

"You need to wash your hands and get ready for dinner." + +Lily and Tom ran inside. They did not want to miss their food. They did not care about the mess they made. + +Mom followed them. She saw the garden. She was not happy. She saw the dust and the mud and the toys. She shook her head. + +"Look at this, kids," she said. "This is not tidy. This is not nice. You need to learn to respect your things and your space. Tomorrow, you will come out and clean this up. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They did not like the sound of that. They wished they had listened to Mom before. + +The next day, Mom gave them a bucket and a broom. She told them to kneel and sweep the dust and the mud. She told them to put their toys in the bucket. She told them to work hard and fast. + +Lily and Tom did not want to do it. They wanted to play. They thought it was boring and hard. They complained and whined. + +"Stop that, kids," Mom said. "This is your own fault. You made the mess, you clean it up. This is how you learn to be tidy and responsible. Maybe next time, you will think twice before you leave your things everywhere." + +Lily and Tom realized Mom was right. They felt sorry for what they did. They decided to work harder and faster. They wanted to make Mom happy. They wanted to be tidy and responsible. + +They knelt and swept the dust and the mud. They put their toys in the bucket. They worked hard and fast. + +Soon, the garden was clean and neat. Mom came out and saw it. She smiled. + +"Good job, kids," she said. "You did very well. I'm proud of you. Now you can go and play. But remember, next time, clean up after yourselves. OK?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They hugged Mom. They said they were sorry. They said they would remember. + +They ran off to play. They were happy. They had learned their lesson. They had made Mom happy. They had been tidy and responsible. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play catch with a ball.

You are missing out on other things." + +"But I like cartoons, mom. They make me happy," Anna said. + +"Cartoons are fun, but they are not everything. You need to learn and grow and have fun in different ways. If you only watch cartoons, you will not know how to do other things. You will not be ready for school or for life," her mom said. + +Anna did not listen to her mom. She kept watching cartoons every day. She did not do her homework or play with her toys. She did not talk to her friends or go outside. + +One day, the TV broke. Anna was sad. She had nothing to do. She did not know how to do her homework or play with her toys.

I did not do other things. Now I have nothing to do. Can you help me?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Of course, Anna. I'm glad you realized your mistake. You can still watch cartoons sometimes, but you need to be careful. You need to spend your time on other things too. You need to do your homework and play with your toys. You need to talk to your friends and go outside. You need to learn and grow and have fun in different ways. That's how you will be happy and ready for school and for life." + +Anna nodded and smiled. She thanked her mom and said, "I love you, mom. You are smart and kind. You want the best for me. I will be careful with my time. I will do other things too. I will watch cartoons sometimes, but not too much." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. You are sweet and brave. You can do anything you want.

I don't want to play with you!" + +They stop playing and sit in different corners. They are sad and angry. They miss each other. + +Mom sees them and says, "Lily and Ben, why are you not playing? You are friends. You should share and be nice." Lily and Ben say, "But Mom, he/she is mean. He/she doesn't listen. He/she doesn't play right." + +Mom says, "I understand. But you can also accept that you are different. You can learn from each other. You can have fun together. Why don't you try again and make a promise to be kind?" + +Lily and Ben think about it. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will try. We will make a promise." They hug and say sorry. They go back to the blocks and start to play. They help each other and make a big tower. They are happy and proud. They keep their promise. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys and books. But they do not like to share. One day, they find a letter on the table. It is from their grandma. She says she is coming to visit them soon. She also says she has a surprise for them. + +Tim and Sam are curious. They want to know what the surprise is. They try to open the letter, but it is sealed. They need scissors to cut it. They look for scissors in the kitchen, but they cannot find any. They look for scissors in the bathroom, but they cannot find any. They look for scissors in their room, but they cannot find any. + +They start to argue. Tim says he saw scissors in their dad's office. Sam says he saw scissors in their mom's closet. They both want to go first. They pull and tug on the letter. They do not listen to each other. They do not care about the letter. They only care about being right. + +The letter rips in half. Tim and Sam are shocked. They see the surprise fall out of the letter. It is a shiny coin.

They also like to learn about history from their mom, who tells them stories about the past. + +One day, they decide to build a pyramid with their blocks, like the ones they saw in a book about Egypt. They work hard to stack the blocks in a triangle shape, and they are very proud of their pyramid. They show it to their mom, who says it is charming and gives them a hug. + +"Can we keep it, mom?" Ben asks. "We want to show it to dad when he comes home." + +"Of course, my darlings," mom says. "But be careful not to drop it or bump into it. It might fall apart." + +Ben and Mia nod and go back to their room. They play with their other toys, but they are careful to leave the pyramid alone. They want to keep it safe and beautiful. + +But then, they hear a loud noise from the kitchen. They run to see what it is, and they find their baby brother, Leo, on the floor. He has dropped a plate of cookies that mom was baking, and the cookies are scattered everywhere. Leo is crying, and mom is trying to calm him down. + +"Oh no, Leo!" Mia says. "You dropped the cookies! Mom worked hard to make them!" + +Ben is angry. He thinks Leo is naughty and clumsy. He says, "Bad Leo! You always drop things and make a mess! You are not charming at all!" + +Mom hears Ben and looks at him with a sad face. She says, "Ben, that is not a nice thing to say. Leo is your brother, and he is very charming. He did not mean to drop the cookies. He was curious and wanted to see them. He is still learning how to hold things. You were like that too, when you were his age." + +Ben feels ashamed. He remembers that mom has told him stories about his history, when he was a baby. He remembers that he also dropped things and made a mess sometimes. He realizes that he was not fair to Leo. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Leo. I was mean. Can I help you clean up?" + +Mom smiles and says, "That's very kind of you, Ben. Thank you. Mia, do you want to help too?" + +Mia nods and says, "Yes, mom. I'm sorry too. Leo, can I give you a hug?" + +Leo stops crying and smiles. He says, "Yes, Mia. I love you." + +They all hug and help mom clean up the cookies. They save some for dad, who comes home soon. They show him their pyramid, and he says it is charming too.

Ben gives her the bone and says, "Here you go, Lily. You are a nice dog. You can have the bone." Lily wags her tail and licks Ben's face. She is happy and grateful. + +Lily takes the bone and runs to a shady spot. She starts to chew and gnaw on the bone. It is hard and tasty. She enjoys the bone very much. + +But then, she hears a growl. She looks up and sees a big dog. The big dog is mean and scary. He wants Lily's bone. He barks and snarls at Lily. He says, "Give me that bone, or I will bite you!" + +Lily is afraid. She does not want to lose her bone. She does not want to fight. She whimpers and hides behind the bone. She hopes the big dog will go away. + +But Ben sees what is happening. He loves Lily and does not want her to be hurt. He runs to the big dog and shouts, "No, bad dog! Leave Lily alone! That is her bone, not yours!" He picks up a stick and waves it at the big dog. + +The big dog is surprised and scared. He does not like Ben's stick. He does not like Ben's voice.

Leo said, grabbing a handful. + +They ate and ate, until they felt very full and tired. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. + +"Let's go to bed, Mia," Leo said. + +"OK, Leo," Mia said. They walked to their bedroom, holding hands. + +But they did not know that prunes make you go to the bathroom a lot. In the middle of the night, they woke up with a big tummy ache. They ran to the toilet, but it was too late. They had made a big mess in their pajamas and sheets. + +"Mia, Leo, what happened?" their mom asked, hearing them cry. + +"We ate too many prunes, mom!" they sobbed. + +"Oh, you poor things," their mom said, hugging them. "Next time, don't eat so much. Prunes are good for you, but only in moderation." + +She helped them clean up and change their clothes. She gave them some water and a kiss. She tucked them in their bed, and sang them a lullaby. + +Mia and Leo learned their lesson. They never ate too many prunes again.

But you have to catch me." + +Ben says, "I promise, Lily, I will catch you. Just slide and I will blow my whistle." + +Lily takes a deep breath. She lets go of the rail and slides down fast. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiles and says, "Whee!" + +Ben catches her at the bottom. He hugs her and says, "You did it, Lily! You are so brave!" + +He blows his whistle for her. It makes a loud noise. Lily laughs and says, "Thank you, Ben! That was fun!" + +They both run to the slide again.

The flowers and the grass look sad and thirsty. Lily and Tom are sad too. They want to help the plants. + +They go inside and ask Mom for more water. Mom says they have to wait. She says there is not enough water for everyone. She says they have to find another way to keep the plants healthy. + +Lily and Tom think hard. They remember that plants need more than water. They need air and light too. They have an idea. They run outside and get their scissors and hats. They cut some paper and make fans.

It can go very fast," Ben says, and gives her the car. + +Lila and Ben look at the toys and try to play with them. Lila makes the car go vroom-vroom, but she does not know how to steer it. She bumps into the sofa and the table. Ben hugs the bear, but he sees something shiny on its ear. He pulls on it and it comes off. It is a label that says "Made in China". + +"Hey, what did you do?" Lila cries, and runs to Ben. "You broke my bear!" + +"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to see what this was," Ben says, and shows her the label. + +"That's not a toy, that's a label. It tells where the bear came from. You have to be careful with other people's things," Lila says, and takes the bear and the label from Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Lila. Can we still be friends?" Ben asks, and gives her the car. + +Lila looks at Ben and sees that he is sad. She feels sorry for him too. She knows that he did not want to hurt her bear.
