He had a bucket of blue paint and brushes. He started to paint the roof blue. + +The man said to the house, "I'm going to make you look nice and new again.

Peter was a young boy and Paul was an old man. + +One cold night, the two friends were walking side by side. Peter looked at the stars in the sky and said, "It sure is cold tonight".

They sat down in the bin and kept warm for a while. + +As they were sitting, Peter asked Paul, "Where are we going now?" Paul replied, "We are going on an adventure, so let's not delay anymore". + +The friends said goodbye and went on their way. They had a great time on their journey and found lots of exciting things to do. +One beautiful sunny day, a little girl named Mia was outside playing in her garden.

All around her the flowers started to grow really tall and the grass began to stretch out too! + +Mia couldn't believe her eyes - it was pure magic! She asked herself, "How could this be happening?" Suddenly, she heard a mysterious voice from behind the tree. + +The voice said, "I can help you, Mia. You just need to be very patient and remember to move slow." + +Mia was so excited and moved extremely slow, just like the voice said. Sure enough, the magic of the garden began to do its work and the flowers started to grow even taller and the grass began to stretch out even further. + +Mia laughed with delight and couldn't believe the magic she had seen. She thanked the mysterious voice and ran inside to show her Mom and Dad what had happened. They were so impressed! + +Mia vowed to always remember the power of the magic and the importance of being slow. +Once upon a time, there was a bald eagle named Sam. He loved to peek around to explore his world. One day, as Sam was flying, he noticed something shiny and metal peeking out from the top of a tall tree. He swooped down to take a closer look. + +When he arrived, Sam saw a metal box with a little padlock. He was curious and wanted to see what was inside. He flew around in circles trying to find a way in. Suddenly, he heard a voice. + +"Hi there Sam," said the voice. It was Mr. Possum, the wise old possum who lived in the tree. He had seen Sam looking at the metal box. "Before I show you what's inside, I have to tell you something important," he said. + +Sam was excited, but he listened patiently while Mr. Possum explained that only a friend could open the box. He asked if Sam would be his friend. After a few moments of thought, Sam said yes. + +Mr. Possum smiled, then pulled out a small key and opened the box. Inside was a wonderful surprise – it was full of glittering jewels! + +Sam was so excited he flew up and down around the tree, flapping his wings and squawking with delight. Mr. Possum laughed and said, "It's good to have a friend." +Once upon a time, a nice little girl decided to get married. But the marriage was terrible! She saw all the bad things that were happening and it made her feel so sad. She knew she had to do something. + +So she decided to get out of the marriage.

Now she was safe and happy, and she was glad she had decided to do it. + +The end. +A little girl was feeling very sneezy. She was standing in her kitchen, looking into the cupboard. It looked very empty. + +The girl began to get angry. She wanted something inside the cupboard, something yummy to eat. But there was nothing in there. + +Her nose was tingling. Her fingers were itching. The little girl started to feel very sneezy again. + +She closed her eyes and counted to three. When she opened them again, she gave the biggest sneeze. + +Suddenly, the cupboard was full. The girl opened it up and looked inside. It was filled with all kinds of yummy treats. She smiled and started to eat. + +The little girl was very happy now. No more feeling angry or sneezy! +Timmy was walking in the park when he spotted an egg on the ground.

"You can trust me, I won't hurt you". Timmy turned around to see an old man, who smiled and said, "May I have the egg please". + +Timmy slowly handed him the egg and the old man said, "Thank you." + +Timmy felt guilty, like he had done something wrong, but the old man said, "Don't worry, it's alright.

He felt helpless and ran back to the shore. + +A voice said, "What happened, Tommy?". It was Daddy. + +Tommy said, "The jellyfish scared me. It was horrible." + +But Daddy said, "Don't worry. Jellyfish can't hurt you. Everything is going to be alright." + +But Tommy was still scared and didn't want to go near the water again. He stayed by Daddy's side on the beach. + +No matter how much Daddy tried to help Tommy, he wasn't able to make him feel better. Tommy was too scared to ever go near the water again. +"Let's play 'match'!" said Billy. + +Billy and his mommy got out the 'match' game. Mama shuffled the cards and handed them to Billy. The cards were brightly colored and had a lot of interesting pictures on them. + +After playing for a while, a loud noise came from outside. The noise sounded like the police were coming. Mama quickly hid the 'match' cards and told Billy to stay inside. + +Mama hurried outside. When she was gone, Billy put the cards back on the table. + +Suddenly, two police officers came into the house. Billy said hello but the officers did not seem to hear him.

He was a very brave boy so he decided to dive into the water. + +Bob was surprised at how cold the water was, but he managed to grab two of the pears. He put them into his boat and sailed back home. + +Bob had a lot of fun but he was very tired. He put the two pears into a bowl and went to bed. When he woke up, he had the biggest and best pear for breakfast! +One day there were two friends, Jack and Joe, walking along the beach. Jack noticed something strange and said, "What is that?" Joe replied, "I don't know, let's find out". + +They walked closer and saw that it was a hidden sea. There were lots of rocks, shells and bright fish under the water. Jack and Joe thought it was very cool. + +Then Jack said, "Let's go for a swim". Joe hesitated and said, "I'm scared. What if something bad happens?"

They had a great time and were so happy to discover this amazing place. They were not scared at all. +Mum and Dad took Nicky to the fair. Nicky was so excited. Everywhere he looked there were bright, twinkling lights and huge creaking rides. But the best part was the guessing game. People would stop and try and guess how much something weighed. + +Nicky and Mum and Dad lined up with all the other families. Firstly, there was a cow on a huge scale. Everybody guessed how much it weighed but nobody guessed right. Once the cow left, a goat was put on the scale. Again, everybody guessed wrong. + +"I want to try!" Nicky shouted. + +Mum and Dad looked a bit unsure. But then Dad smiled and told him, "OK, give it a go". + +So Nicky stepped forward and he guessed. The man looked a bit surprised, "You're right! How did you know?" + +Nicky grinned and pointed upstairs. Mum and Dad followed his finger and saw a sign saying "Today's prize for the guessing game is a trip upstairs". + +Mum and Dad were so surprised. They thanked the man and took Nicky's hands and they ran up the stairs. At the top, they opened the door and they stepped inside. + +On the other side was a beautiful room.

Here, they had something they'd been missing - a nice, quiet place where they could all +Once upon a time there lived a little boy. One day, he decided to take a walk. He walked past an elderly lady and noticed a zipper on her dress. + +The little boy asked, "What's that zipper for?" + +The elderly lady said,"That's used to open and close the dress. It's like a twisty thing." + +The little boy was curious and asked, "Can you show me how it twists?" + +The elderly lady smiled and said,"Sure, watch this. Here, I'm going to twist it open."

Tom was excited, he had never heard it rain before! He ran around, spinning and laughing. + +Suddenly Nana shouted from the doorway, "Tom, it's getting too noisy! You need to come back inside before you disappear in the rain." + +Tom obeyed and ran back inside. + +Nana said, "See, I told you to stay near me so I could see you! When you wander away and get too noisy, you might disappear in the rain!" + +Tom nods and understands that he always needs to stay close - never wander too far! + +This story has a moral value of staying close, listening to instructions and being careful of getting too noisy. The narrative uses foreshadowing or setup and payoff when Nana warned Tom to stay near, so he wouldn't disappear in the rain. +One day, Jack was walking down the street. He stopped in front of a store and started looking at things through the window. Suddenly he saw a big, colourful book in the window. He wanted the book very badly, so he went inside the store. + +Jack went up to the counter and called out, "I want the book!" +The storekeeper smiled, "What book?" + +Jack pointed to the book still in the window and said, "That one!" + +The storekeeper looked at the boy and said, "I'm sorry, we don't have that book in the store. We don't supply it here." + +Jack was so upset, he started to cry. He was so impatient! He wanted the book now. + +The storekeeper went to the back of the store and came back with a different book. He said, "How about this book? It's just as nice." + +Jack took the book and smiled. "Thank you," he said. + +Jack skipped out of the store, happy to have found a new book. +Once upon a time, there was a friendly boy. Every day, he liked to twist in the garden. He would twist around the trees and sometimes even twist above the grass. + +One day, while he was twisting, the boy heard a voice. It was a little girl who had come to play in the garden. + +"Can you show me how to twist?" the girl asked. + +The boy smiled and showed her how to twist around the tree. He twisted high, low, fast and slow. The girl giggled and tried to copy the boy. + +Soon, she was twisting alongside him. The two continued to twist and laugh until it was time to go home.

Jack and Jill asked each other. + +They looked everywhere for the clay, but it was nowhere to be found. + +"Maybe it went to a magic land," Jill said with a smile. + +Jack and Jill realized that all the magical things will eventually disappear. They continued playing for the rest of the day until it was time for dinner. +Five-year-old Sam and three-year-old Lucy were in their backyard playing tag. Lucy was giggling and Sam was feeling funny. As the two of them ran around, they heard Mommy calling from the kitchen window. + +"Time for dinner, kids!" + +The two of them stopped and put their hands on their knees to catch their breath. + +"Let's discuss something more fun after dinner," Sam suggested. + +"Let's discuss the backyard!" Lucy exclaimed. + +"That sounds like a great idea!" Sam beamed. + +So, after dinner, the two of them went outside and discussed the backyard. They talked about how much fun they'd had playing tag, and how they could invent new games to play. They talked about the different plants they saw, and the funny bugs. + +When it got dark, the two of them had lots of new ideas for how to have fun in their backyard.

They could not reach it. + +The little kid's friends saw how sad they were. They wanted to help, so they all started running after the balloon. + +After some time they finally reached the balloon, but it had become stuck in a tree. All the friends stopped and turned to the little kid. + +They asked the little kid, "What will you do?" + +The little kid was not sure, but then they nodded their head. Everyone smiled and provided some rope. They tied the rope to the balloon and slowly pulled it out of the tree. + +When the balloon was safe, the little kid smiled. Now, the little kid and their friends can continue playing with their pale balloon. +One day, Daisy and her parents were playing outside. Daisy could see the porch from their backyard. She liked the porch because it was soft. Daisy hopped over to the porch and stood on it. "Do you want to take a walk around the porch?" asked her dad. Daisy nodded excitedly. + +As Daisy and her parents walked around the porch, Daisy hopped from one soft spot to another. She loved feeling the softness beneath her feet. She looked up and saw the clouds in the sky. She waved to the birds that flew around chirping. + +At the end of their walk, Daisy ran back to the porch and hopped around it. "Let's go hop again tomorrow!" she said, smiling. Her parents agreed, and together they went back inside. +Today was a great day. +A purple butterfly flew across the meadow, and a little girl ran after it. +She asked her mom, "What is that?" +Her mom said, "It's a purple butterfly." +The little girl smiled and kept following the butterfly. +The butterfly flew around some flowers and then landed on a branch. +The girl slowly approached to take a closer look. +The butterfly flew away, and the little girl started following it again. +She laughed and smiled as she chased the butterfly deeper into the meadow. +They played together for hours before the little girl got tired and headed home. +The purple butterfly flew alongside the girl until it flew away. +The little girl smiled and waved goodbye. +Once upon a time there was a swan who lived beside a lake. One day, the swan was walking near the lake when the ground got very icy. The swan slipped and fell into the shallow water. + +The swan was scared and called out for help. "Help me please! I'm cold and wet and I can't get out," the swan said. + +Just then, a little boy heard the swan's cries for help. The boy was only three years old. He ran over to the lake and carefully grabbed the swan. He held the swan close and walked it back to the safety of the bank. + +The swan was so grateful for the boy's help. He thanked the little boy and flew away. + +The little boy was happy to help the swan, and it showed him the importance of helping other people who are in need. He silently promised to always lend a helping hand when someone is in trouble. +The day was warm and sunny. Jack was a three-year-old boy who loved to explore. He asked his parents if they could go to the park. + +“Yes, of course,†his parents said. + +At the park, Jack saw many children playing on the playground and riding their bikes.

His mom said they could try it at the beach another day. Jack was excited and hugged them both. + +The following day, Jack and his parents went to the beach. Jack boldly ran over to the surfboard.

His parents were very proud of him! Jack was ecstatic that he'd managed to learn something new at the beach. +Once upon a time, there was a clumsy dog. It had lots of fun playing in the park and with its friends. One day, it decided to try something new. It wanted to see what it looked like if it cut its own fur. +It got its scissors and started to cut. But it was so clumsy that the cut went wrong. The scissors snipped too much of the fur off! The dog started to cry. +It didn't know what to do. Then it heard a friendly voice. It was a little girl who saw the dog crying. She said she knew how to fix the cut and help the dog look better. +The girl took out her comb and brushed the fur until it was nice and smooth. The dog thanked the little girl from the bottom of its heart. The dog now has a nicer and warmer fur thanks to the little girl's kind heart. +Once upon a time there was a boy called Nick.

Tommy said. + +His mum replied, "No, Tommy. That model is too small and it's too fragile. It might break." + +Tommy was sad, but he agreed to his mum's request. He put the model down and walked away. + +Days later, Tommy had a surprise. His mum had bought him a new toy. The toy was a small spinning top. + +Tommy was very happy. He spun the top across the floor a few times and it kept spinning long after he stopped. + +The model had been in the same spot where Tommy had wanted to spin it. Due to the excitement, he had forgotten all about it. + +But, his spinning top had not been gentle. It had spun right into the model and knocked it to the ground. The model had cracked into two pieces. + +Tommy was sad that he had caused any harm. His mum hugged him and told him it was just an accident. + +Now Tommy knew that his mum wanted to protect him and the model. He promised to be more careful the next time. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lucy.

She waved goodbye to Mommy as she drove off into the night. + +The truck glowed brighter and brighter as it drove through the dark night. Suddenly, it stopped. It had arrived at a secret place under the moonlight. Wild forest creatures surrounded the truck and fireflies lit up the sky. + +The little girl opened the door and stepped out. She was so amazed. This was the most magical place she had ever seen! +One day, Jack saw a rat hanging from a tree. He ran over to take a closer look, but the rat was too far up to reach. + +"Why is the rat hanging there?", he asked. + +A bird flew down from the tree and answered, "That rat was being very rude to me, so I decided to teach him a lesson!" + +Jack was surprised. He couldn't believe that the bird was so brave. + +The bird said, "It's important to stand up for yourself, even if someone is being rude to you." + +Jack nodded and thanked the bird for the lesson before running off to play. +Once upon a time, there were two boys. They were best friends and always played together. One day, they decided to have a fight to see who could get the better of the other. + +The first boy said, “Come on, let’s go! I’ll show you who’s better!†+ +The second boy agreed, saying, “Let’s do it!†+ +They moved around, pushing each other and trying to improve.

You don't know what is behind it!" + +Karen thought for a moment, then replied, "I will be careful, mommy!" She slowly walked closer to the curtain and reached out her hand. + +Karen's mom stepped in and said, "Karen, it's important to always listen to your mommy. You never know what might be hiding behind something, so it's best to be safe and not reach into something you don't know." + +Karen said, "Okay, mommy. Next time, I will listen to you and not reach something I don't know about." + +The moral of this story is to listen to the adults in your life and be careful when exploring unfamiliar things.

Amy was proud of her work and said, "I painted it!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you did. You painted it perfectly!" +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Megan. Megan was three years old, and she loved to explore her house. One day, Megan was wandering around her house, when she heard some voices in the kitchen. She tip-toed to the kitchen door, and peeked in. She saw her mom and dad talking to a stranger. + +"It's so nice to meet you," her dad said, smiling. "Allow me to introduce you to my daughter, Megan." + +Her mom smiled. "Hello Megan," said the stranger. "My name is Mrs. Smith. I'm here to show you how to use a mop." + +Megan was very excited and said hello to Mrs. Smith. She followed Mrs. Smith around the kitchen, learning how to use the mop. Mrs. Smith was very patient, and taught her how to do it with big slow movements. After a while, Megan was a mop expert! She was so proud. + +"Well done Megan!" said Mrs. Smith. "You did a great job. You can help your mom and dad clean the kitchen now!" + +Megan smiled. She had learned something new and was very proud. +Once upon a time, there was a small boy named Jack. He always wanted to explore the world and always wanted to know more about it. He was curious about everything and wanted to find out what was around him. One day, his dad took him to the beach. Jack was so happy and amazed by the beautiful ocean and all the creatures in it. He saw a jellyfish and was very interested in learning more about it. + +The dad said, "Be careful and don't touch the jellyfish, they are dangerous and can hurt you." + +Jack was disappointed and replied, "But dad, I really want to learn more and touch it." + +The dad explained, "Believing is important, and sometimes believing more in yourself than you do in something that seems bigger and stronger than you, is the right way.†+ +Jack was disappointed but he believed in his dad's wise words. He understood that sometimes it is ok to be afraid and to believe in himself more than in something else bigger and stronger than him. So, he took some time and found the courage within himself. With a big leap, finally, he touched the jellyfish. It was so much fun and he happily learned more about this interesting creature. + +The moral of the story is that believing in oneself is the most important thing. Believe in yourself and you can learn more and do more than you think! +Mummy was very tired.

Ben and Lily are nervous. They want to win the game and make their coach happy. + +The game starts. Ben and Lily run after the ball. They pass the ball to each other. They try to score a goal. But the other team is very good. They are fast and strong. They take the ball away from Ben and Lily. They score a goal. Ben and Lily are sad. + +The coach tells them to keep trying. He says they can do it. He says they have to work together. Ben and Lily nod. They want to listen to their coach. They want to help their team. + +The game goes on. Ben and Lily see a chance. They see the ball near the goal. They spring to the ball. They kick the ball together. The ball flies into the goal. Ben and Lily score a goal. They are happy. They hug each other. They hear their team cheer. They hear their coach clap. They smile. + +The game ends. Ben and Lily's team wins. They are very happy. They thank their coach. They high-five their friends. They are proud of themselves. They are not nervous anymore. They are brave. They are a good team. +Lily was a clumsy girl. She liked to run and jump and play, but she often fell and hurt herself. One day, she saw a big chair in the living room. It was red and soft and had a lot of pillows. Lily wanted to sit on the chair and pretend it was a castle. + +She ran to the chair and climbed on it. She felt very happy and proud. She said, "I am the queen of the chair!" She waved her arms and smiled. But she did not see the lamp on the table next to the chair. Her arm hit the lamp and it fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces and made a loud noise. + +Lily was scared and sad. She knew she did something bad. She wanted to get off the chair and say sorry, but she could not. The lamp cord was wrapped around her leg and it was tight. She tried to pull it off, but it hurt. She cried and cried. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to the living room. They saw the broken lamp and the crying Lily. They were angry and worried. They said, "Lily, what did you do? You are so clumsy! You broke the lamp and you hurt yourself! You have to remain on the chair until we fix this mess!" + +Lily felt very bad. She wished she did not climb on the chair. She wished she was not clumsy. She wished she could say sorry and hug Mom and Dad. But she had to remain on the chair and wait. She did not feel like a queen. She felt like a fool. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big bird in the sky. The bird has black and white feathers and a long yellow beak. It is a seagull. + +"Look, Lily, the bird can fly!" Tom says. + +"I want to fly too!" Lily says. + +They run after the bird, waving their arms. The bird flies away, but they keep chasing it. They run through the grass, the sand and the flowers. They make a lot of dust with their feet. + +"Stop, stop, you are making me sneeze!" a voice says. + +They look around and see a small mouse under a bush. The mouse has brown fur and a pink nose. It is holding a leaf over its head. + +"Sorry, mouse, we did not see you," Tom says. + +"Why are you running after the bird?" the mouse asks. + +"Because we want to fly like the bird," Lily says. + +The mouse shakes its head. + +"You cannot fly like the bird. You are not a bird. You are a child. You have to be happy with what you are," the mouse says. + +"But flying is fun!" Tom says. + +"Maybe, but it is also dangerous. The bird has to watch out for cats, hawks and planes. You are safe on the ground. You have a lot of things to enjoy here. You have your toys, your friends and your family. You have the sun, the wind and the rain. You have the calm and the noise. You have the colors and the shapes. You have the dust and the stars. You have the world," the mouse says. + +Tom and Lily think about what the mouse says. They look at the bird, then at the mouse, then at each other. They smile. + +"Thank you, mouse, you are very wise," Lily says. + +"You are welcome, children, you are very kind," the mouse says. + +They say goodbye to the mouse and go back to their toys. They play with their cars, their dolls and their balls. They have fun on the ground. They do not want to fly anymore. They are happy with what they are. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their snowmen. They had made a row of snowmen with hats and scarves and buttons. They were very proud of their snowmen. + +"Look, our snowmen are so happy!" Lila said. "They are smiling and waving at us." + +"Yes, they are!" Ben agreed. "They are our friends. We should give them names." + +Lila nodded. She pointed at the first snowman. "This one is Sam. He has a red hat and a blue scarf. He likes to sing." + +Ben pointed at the second snowman. "This one is Mia. She has a yellow hat and a pink scarf. She likes to dance." + +They went on like this, naming each snowman and giving them hobbies. They had fun imagining what their snowmen would do if they were alive. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a snowplow. It was coming towards their row of snowmen. It was going to knock them down. + +"Stop!" Lila shouted. "Stop! You are going to hurt our snowmen!" + +Ben ran after the snowplow. He waved his arms and yelled. "Stop! Stop! These are our friends!" + +But the snowplow did not stop. It did not see them. It was too big and too loud. + +Lila and Ben watched in horror as their row of snowmen was smashed by the snowplow. They saw their hats and scarves and buttons fly in the air. They saw their snowmen disappear under the snow. + +They felt very sad. They felt very angry. They felt very confused. + +"Why did he do that?" Lila asked. "Why did he ruin our snowmen?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "He was very mean. He did not care about our snowmen." + +They hugged each other and cried. They wished their snowmen were still with them. They wished they could freeze the time and save their snowmen. But they could not. They could only watch as the snowplow drove away, leaving behind a trail of snow and ice. +Tommy was sleepy. He wanted to go to bed, but his mom said he had to go to the store with her. He did not like the store. It was big and loud and boring. He held his mom's hand and walked slowly. + +"Mom, can we go home?" he asked. + +"Soon, Tommy, soon. We just need to get some milk and eggs and bread," his mom said. + +They went to the aisle with the milk and eggs and bread. Tommy saw a lady with a red hat and a big bag. She looked at the milk and eggs and bread. She grabbed them and put them in her bag. She did not pay for them. She was a thief. + +"Mom, look! That lady is taking the milk and eggs and bread!" Tommy said. + +His mom looked and saw the lady. She was angry. She let go of Tommy's hand and ran after the lady. She shouted, "Stop! Thief! Give back the milk and eggs and bread!" + +The lady was scared. She dropped the bag and ran away. The milk and eggs and bread fell out of the bag. They made a mess on the floor. + +Tommy was surprised. He did not know what to do. He saw his mom talking to a man with a badge. He was a policeman. He thanked his mom for catching the thief. He gave her a sticker that said "Hero". + +Tommy was proud of his mom. He hugged her and said, "You are the best, mom!" + +His mom smiled and hugged him back. She said, "You are the best, too, Tommy. You helped me stop the thief. You are very brave and smart." + +They picked up the milk and eggs and bread and paid for them. They went home. Tommy was still sleepy, but he was happy. He had a big adventure with his mom. He went to bed and dreamed of being a hero. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to dress up as superheroes. They had capes, masks, and belts with different tools. One day, they decided to play as the famous Batman and Batgirl. They put on their costumes and ran to the living room. + +"Look, Mom, we are Batman and Batgirl!" Ben shouted. + +"You are very brave and smart, just like them," Mom said, smiling. "But what is this?" She pointed to Ben's zipper, which was open. + +Ben looked down and saw his zipper. He felt embarrassed and tried to close it. But it was stuck. He pulled and pulled, but it did not move. + +"Mom, help me! My zipper is broken!" he cried. + +Mom came over and gently took Ben's zipper. She explained how to fix it. "Sometimes, the zipper gets caught on the fabric. You have to push it down a little bit, then pull it up slowly. Like this." She showed Ben how to do it. The zipper slid up and closed. + +"Wow, thank you, Mom! You are the best!" Ben said, hugging her. + +"You're welcome, Ben. Now, go and have fun with Lily. And remember, always check your zipper before you go out," Mom said, laughing. + +Ben and Lily nodded and ran to the backyard. They pretended to fight crime and save the world as the famous Batman and Batgirl. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the zipper problem. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a doll. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they see an old man in the park. He is sitting on a bench. He has a bottle in his hand. He looks sad and lonely. + +"Hello, mister," Sara says. "Why are you sad?" + +The old man does not answer. He drinks from his bottle. He smells bad. + +"Can we play with you?" Ben asks. "We have a ball, a bike and a doll." + +The old man shakes his head. He does not want to play. He drinks more from his bottle. He looks angry. + +"Go away, kids," he says. "Leave me alone. This is my park. This is my bottle. You have nothing I want." + +Sara and Ben are scared. They run away from the old man. They find their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. + +Mom and dad are worried. They hug Sara and Ben. They tell them that the old man is sick. He drinks too much from his bottle. He does not have any friends or family. He does not care about anyone or anything. + +Sara and Ben feel sorry for the old man. They want to help him. They ask mom and dad what they can do. + +Mom and dad say that they can pray for the old man. They can also be kind and respectful to him. They can also be thankful for what they have. They have each other, they have toys, they have a home. They have love. + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They pray for the old man. They hope he will get better. They hope he will find happiness. They hope he will learn to share. They hope he will stop drinking from his bottle. They hope he will come to the park and play with them. +Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs in the water. They were very happy. + +One day, they saw a big whale in the sea. It was very far away, but they could see its tail and its spout. Lila and Ben wanted to see it closer. They asked their mom and dad if they could go on a boat. Their mom and dad said yes, but they had to be careful and listen to the captain. + +They got on a boat with other people. The captain was a nice man who knew a lot about whales. He told them that whales were gentle and smart animals, and that they should not be afraid of them. He also told them that they should not touch them or feed them, because that could make them sick or angry. + +The boat followed the whale for a while. Lila and Ben were very excited. They saw the whale jump and splash. They heard it make loud noises. They felt its breath on their faces. They wanted to touch it and talk to it. They thought it was their friend. + +But the whale did not like the boat. It felt scared and annoyed. It did not want to play with the people. It wanted to be alone. It swam faster and faster, trying to get away. It hit the boat with its tail. The boat rocked and shook. The people screamed and held on. Lila and Ben were very scared. They wished they had not gone on the boat. They regretted bothering the whale. + +The captain turned the boat around. He said they had to leave the whale alone. He said they had been wrong to chase it. He said they had to respect it and its home. He said he was sorry for what happened. He said he hoped the whale was okay. + +Lila and Ben hugged their mom and dad. They said they were sorry too. They said they had learned their lesson. They said they still liked whales, but they would not bother them again. They said they would watch them from the shore, where they were safe and happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the garden and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big green bean plant in the corner of the garden. It had many beans hanging from it. + +"Wow, look at that bean plant!" Lily said. "It is so big and tall!" + +"Let's go and pick some beans!" Ben said. "Maybe we can eat them for lunch!" + +They ran to the bean plant and started to pull some beans. They were green and shiny and smooth. They filled their pockets with beans. + +But then, they heard a loud roar. It came from behind the bean plant. They saw a big, furry, brown bear. It had sharp teeth and claws. It looked angry and hungry. + +"Help! A bear!" Lily screamed. She dropped her beans and ran away. + +Ben was scared too. But he saw that Lily had left some beans on the ground. He knew that bears liked beans. He had an idea. + +He picked up a bean and threw it at the bear. The bear looked at the bean and sniffed it. It liked the smell. It ate the bean. + +Ben threw another bean. And another. And another. He made a trail of beans away from the bean plant and the garden. The bear followed the beans, eating them one by one. + +Ben ran after Lily. He caught up with her and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" he asked. + +"Yes, I'm okay. Thank you, Ben. You are so brave!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are my best friend. I'm sorry I mentioned the beans. I didn't know there was a bear there." Ben said. + +"It's okay, Ben. You saved us with the beans. You are very smart. Let's go and tell Mom and Dad what happened." Lily said. + +They ran to the house and told their parents about the bean plant, the bear, and the beans. Their parents were proud of them and gave them a big hug. They also gave them some cookies and milk for lunch. They did not eat any beans that day. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. They have a big dog named Spot.

They are very excited. They pack their bags and toys. They also need to bring their passports. Passports are small books with their names and pictures. They show who they are and where they are from. + +Before they go to the airport, Mom says they need to bathe. Bathing is when you wash your body with water and soap. It makes you clean and fresh. Anna and Ben like to bathe. They splash and play with their rubber ducks. They also wash Spot. Spot does not like to bathe. He shakes and wets everything. + +When they are done, they dry themselves and Spot with towels. They put on their clothes and coats. They are ready to go.

It has his name and picture and a paw print. + +They drive to the airport. They see many cars and people and planes. They check in their bags and passports. They go through a metal gate. It beeps and flashes. It is to make sure they are not carrying anything dangerous. Dangerous things are things that can hurt or break or burn. They are not allowed on the plane. Anna and Ben are not carrying anything dangerous. They are carrying their backpacks with their snacks and books and toys. Spot is not carrying anything dangerous either. He is carrying his leash and his bone. + +They board the plane. They find their seats and buckle their belts. They put their backpacks under the seats. Spot goes in a big cage. He is not happy.

He saw Lily and said, "No, Lily, this is my teddy bear. Go back to your bed. It is night time and we have to sleep." + +Lily did not listen. She pulled the teddy bear and said, "No, I want to play with the teddy bear. It is fun and soft. You can play with me." + +Her brother did not like that. He pulled the teddy bear back and said, "No, Lily, this is not fun. This is rude. You are making noise and waking me up. Go back to your bed. Mommy will be angry." + +Lily and her brother started to fight over the teddy bear. They made a lot of noise. Mommy heard them and came to their room. She saw them fighting and said, "Stop, Lily and brother. What are you doing? Why are you not sleeping?" + +Lily and her brother stopped fighting. They looked at Mommy and said, "Sorry, Mommy. We wanted to play with the teddy bear." + +Mommy said, "You can play with the teddy bear tomorrow. But now it is night time and you have to sleep. You need to rest and be quiet. Give the teddy bear back to your brother and go back to your bed." + +Lily gave the teddy bear back to her brother. She said, "Sorry, brother. I will play with you tomorrow." + +Her brother said, "It's okay, Lily. I will play with you tomorrow too." + +Mommy kissed them and said, "Good night, Lily and brother. I love you. Sleep well." + +Lily and her brother said, "Good night, Mommy. We love you too. Sleep well." + +Lily went back to her bed. She was not restless anymore. She was sleepy and happy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Her brother did the same. They both had sweet dreams. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the attic. The box has many old clothes and things. + +"Look, Sara, a rod!" Ben says. He takes out a long stick with a string and a hook. "I can be a fisher!" + +"And look, Ben, a dress!" Sara says. She takes out a pink dress with flowers and ribbons. "I can be a princess!" + +They dress up and pretend to be fisher and princess. They have fun. + +But then, Ben sees a shiny ring on Sara's finger. He wants it. + +"Give me the ring, Sara!" Ben says. "It is mine!" + +"No, Ben, it is mine!" Sara says. "I found it first!" + +They start to fight. They pull and tug. The ring flies off Sara's finger. It lands in a hole in the floor. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Ben say. They look in the hole. They cannot see the ring. It is gone. + +They feel sad. They wish they did not fight. + +"I am sorry, Sara," Ben says. "The ring was not mine. You can have it." + +"I am sorry, Ben," Sara says. "The ring was not important. You are my brother." + +They hug and make up. They put back the clothes and the rod in the box. They go downstairs. + +Mom and Dad are waiting for them. They smile. + +"You look fine, Sara and Ben," Mom says. "Did you have fun in the attic?" + +"Yes, Mom," Sara and Ben say. "We learned to share and be kind." + +Mom and Dad are proud of them. They give them a hug and a kiss. + +The end. +Lily and Tom are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and bridges and houses. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Tom says, showing his creation to his sister. + +"Wow, Tom, that's very good!" Lily says, clapping her hands. "Can I help you make it bigger?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can. Here, take this block and put it on top." Tom says, handing her a light blue block. + +Lily takes the block and tries to balance it on the tower. But the tower is too high and wobbly. It falls down with a loud crash. The blocks scatter all over the floor. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Tom say together. They are sad and scared. They think they broke the blocks. + +Suddenly, they hear a voice from the kitchen. It is their mom. + +"What was that noise?" Mom asks, coming to the living room. She sees the mess of blocks and the sad faces of Lily and Tom. + +"We're sorry, Mom, we made a tower and it fell down." Lily says, sniffling. + +"We didn't mean to, Mom, we were just playing." Tom says, looking down. + +Mom smiles and hugs them both. + +"It's okay, my loves, you didn't break anything. The blocks are fine, you can play with them again. But next time, be careful not to make them too high, okay?" Mom says, kissing their cheeks. + +"Okay, Mom, we will." Lily and Tom say, nodding. + +"Good. Now, why don't you help me clean up the blocks and then we can have a snack?" Mom says, picking up some blocks. + +"Okay, Mom, we will." Lily and Tom say, smiling. + +They help Mom clean up the blocks and put them back in the box. Then they go to the kitchen and have some cookies and milk. They are happy and forget about the shock of the tower falling down. They love Mom and they love playing with blocks. +Ben and Lily were playing with clay in the garden. They liked to make shapes and animals with the soft and sticky clay. Ben made a big snake and Lily made a small bird. + +"Look at my snake!" Ben said. "It is long and green and scary. It can eat your bird!" + +Lily was not afraid of Ben's snake. She smiled and said, "No, it can't. My bird is fast and smart and pretty. It can fly away from your snake!" + +Ben wanted to show Lily that his snake was better. He moved his snake closer to Lily's bird and made a hissing sound. "Sssss! My snake is hungry. It will catch your bird and gobble it up!" + +Lily did not like Ben's game. She did not want her bird to be eaten. She picked up her bird and held it in her hand. She replied, "Stop it, Ben. That is not nice. My bird is my friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Ben felt sorry for making Lily sad. He did not mean to hurt her feelings. He liked Lily and her bird. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just joking. Your bird is cool. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sorry. She liked Ben and his snake. She said, "Okay, Ben. I forgive you. Your snake is cool too. Can we play together?" + +Ben and Lily smiled and hugged. They put their clay animals next to each other and played happily. They were friends again. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Let's measure how tall our tower is," Lily says. She takes a ruler and puts it next to the tower. "It is ten inches tall. That is very good." + +"I want to make it taller," Ben says. He adds more blocks on top of the tower. "Now it is twelve inches tall. That is even better." + +They keep adding more blocks until the tower is very tall. It is taller than Lily and Ben. They are very happy. + +But then, a terrible thing happens. The tower is too tall and it falls down. The blocks make a loud noise and scatter everywhere. Lily and Ben are sad and scared. + +"Oh no, our tower is gone!" Lily cries. "We worked so hard on it." + +"It's okay, Lily," Ben says. "We can make another one. We still have time." + +He hugs Lily and helps her pick up the blocks. They start to build a new tower. They hope it will not fall down again. They measure it carefully and make it strong. They have fun playing with blocks. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to look at the flowers, the birds and the bugs. + +One day, they found a charming hat on a bench. It was red and blue and had a big feather on it. Lily put it on her head and said, "Look at me, Ben! I am a princess!" + +Ben laughed and said, "You are a silly princess, Lily! That hat is too big for you!" + +He tried to grab the hat from Lily, but she ran away. She said, "No, Ben! It is my hat! You can't have it!" + +They chased each other around the park, giggling and shouting. But then, Lily tripped on a rock and fell down. She dropped the hat and it rolled away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She scraped her knee and it hurt a lot. She had tears in her eyes. + +Ben stopped and ran to Lily. He said, "Are you okay, Lily? I am sorry. I didn't mean to make you fall." + +He helped her get up and hugged her. He said, "You are still my best friend, Lily. And you are still a princess, even without the hat." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. And you are still my best friend, too. And you are a prince, even without the hat." + +They looked for the hat, but they couldn't find it. Someone else must have taken it. They didn't mind. They still had each other. They held hands and walked back to their moms, who were waiting for them. They had a good day, even without the hat. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big bush with red berries. They run to the bush and pick some berries. They put them in a basket. + +"Look, we have so many berries!" Lily says. "We can eat them for snack." + +"Yes, they look yummy!" Ben says. "Let's go to the porch and share them with Mom." + +They carry the basket to the porch. But when they get there, they see a big surprise. The basket is empty! There are no berries left. + +"Where are our berries?" Lily asks. "Who took them?" + +They look around and see a squirrel on the fence. The squirrel has a berry in its mouth. It looks at them and chatters. + +"Hey, that's our berry!" Ben shouts. "You are a bad squirrel!" + +The squirrel runs away with the berry. Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They have no berries for snack. + +Mom comes out and sees them. She hugs them and says, "Don't worry, my sweeties. I have some cookies for you. And we can pick more berries tomorrow." + +Lily and Ben smile and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +They eat the cookies and forget about the squirrel. They are happy again. +Mia was very tired after playing all day with her friends. She wanted to relax and sleep in her bed. But she could not find her favorite cloth. It was a soft and pink cloth that she always hugged when she slept. She felt sad and scared without it. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, where is my cloth? I need it to sleep." + +Mom looked around and saw the cloth on the sofa. She smiled and said, "Here it is, Mia. I washed it for you. It is clean and fresh. Do you want to smell it?" + +Mia ran to the sofa and grabbed the cloth. She sniffed it and smiled. It smelled like flowers and soap. She said, "Thank you, Mom. It smells nice. Can I sleep with it now?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Of course, my sweetie. Let's go to your bed. I will tuck you in and read you a story." + +Mia followed Mom to her bed. She climbed on it and wrapped the cloth around her. She felt comfortable and warm. Mom tucked her in and kissed her forehead. She opened a book and read a story about a princess and a dragon. Mia listened and closed her eyes. She relaxed and fell asleep. She dreamed of happy things. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over the same toy. + +One day, Mom brings home a big tub of cream. She says it is a rare treat for them. She puts it in the fridge and tells them they can have some after dinner. + +Ben and Sam are very excited. They want to taste the cream. They think it is very yummy. They forget about their toys and run to the kitchen. + +They open the fridge and see the cream. They both reach for it at the same time. They pull and tug and shout. + +"Give me the cream!" Ben says. + +"No, it is mine!" Sam says. + +They make a big mess. The cream spills on the floor and on their clothes. Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She is very angry. + +"What are you doing?" Mom says. "You are not supposed to touch the cream. It is for later. And look at this mess. You have wasted the cream. It is very rare and hard to find.

They help her clean the mess. They hug her and tell her they love her. + +Mom is not angry anymore. She hugs them back and tells them she loves them too.

She went to the kitchen and opened the cupboard. But there was no cereal. She was sad. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, where is the cereal?" + +Her mom was in the living room. She was reading a book. She was lazy. She did not want to get up. + +She said, "Sara, you have to search for the cereal. Maybe it is in another cupboard. Or maybe it is in the pantry. Or maybe it is under the table. You have to look everywhere." + +Sara did not like to search. She wanted to eat cereal now. She thought her mom was mean. She said, "Mom, you are mean. You are lazy. You do not help me." + +Her mom did not like to hear that. She put down her book. She got up. She went to the kitchen. She said, "Sara, I am not mean. I am not lazy.

You are smart. You know how to search." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Sara. You are smart too. You can learn how to search. Next time, you can help me find the cereal. Or maybe something else. Searching is fun. Do you want to search with me?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to search with you. Searching is fun. Maybe we can find surprises." + +They poured some cereal in a bowl. They added some milk. They ate the cereal together. They talked about what they wanted to search for next. They were happy. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have a big family. They have a mom, a dad, a grandma, a grandpa, and a dog. The dog's name is Spot. Spot is soft and brown. He likes to lick Lily and Max. + +One day, Lily and Max are playing with their blocks. They want to make a tower. They put one block on top of another. The tower gets taller and taller. Lily and Max are happy. They want to make the tower even taller. + +"Look, Max, our tower is so big!" Lily says. + +"Yes, Lily, it is. Let's put one more block on top!" Max says. + +They reach for the last block. But they are too short. They cannot reach the block. They try to jump. They try to stand on their toes. They try to lean on the wall. But they still cannot reach the block. + +They are sad. They want to finish their tower. They look at each other. They have an idea. + +"Let's ask Spot for help!" Lily says. + +"Good idea, Lily!" Max says. + +They call Spot. Spot comes running. He wags his tail. He likes to play with Lily and Max. + +"Spot, can you help us?" Lily says. + +She points to the block. Spot looks at the block. He looks at the tower. He looks at Lily and Max. He understands. + +He jumps on the bed. He grabs the block with his mouth. He jumps off the bed. He brings the block to Lily and Max. + +"Thank you, Spot!" Lily and Max say. + +They take the block from Spot. They put the block on top of the tower. The tower is finished. It is the tallest tower ever. + +Lily and Max hug Spot. Spot licks Lily and Max. They are happy. They have a big family. They have a mom, a dad, a grandma, a grandpa, and a dog. The dog's name is Spot. Spot is soft and brown. He is a good friend. +Lily and Ben were brother and sister. They liked to play in the park near their home. They were wealthy, so they had many toys and clothes and books. But they were not happy. They always fought and said mean things to each other. + +One day, they went to the park with their mom. Lily wanted to skip on the grass with her new rope. Ben wanted to play with his new ball. They did not want to share. They started to yell and push each other. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You have enough toys for both of you. Why can't you get along?" + +Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept fighting. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog was angry and hungry. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben screamed. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The dog bit them and hurt them badly. Their mom ran to them and tried to save them, but she could not. The dog was too strong and fast. + +Lily and Ben wished they had been nice to each other. They wished they had skipped and played together. But it was too late. They were not wealthy anymore. They were not happy anymore. They were not alive anymore. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to build things with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes, and they made houses, towers, bridges and cars with them. They had fun playing with their blocks every day. + +One day, they heard a loud noise and felt the floor shake. It was an earthquake! The earthquake made their blocks fall down and break. Tom and Sam were scared and ran to their mom, who hugged them and told them they were safe. + +Mom said, "The earthquake was very strong, but it is over now. We are lucky that we are not hurt and our home is not damaged. But look at your blocks, they are all over the floor and some of them are cracked. You should clean them up and put them away." + +Tom said, "Yes, mom, we will. We are sorry for the mess. We love our blocks and we don't want to lose them." + +Sam said, "But mom, can we build something again tomorrow? We like to build things with our blocks. It is fun and we learn a lot." + +Mom said, "Of course you can, my boys. Building things with your blocks is a good way to use your imagination and creativity. But you should also remember to be careful and respectful of your things. Don't build too high or too close to the edge of the table, because they might fall and break. And don't be foolish and try to make your blocks move or shake, because they are not toys that can do that. They are just blocks that you can arrange in different ways. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom, we understand. We will be more careful and respectful of our blocks. Thank you for teaching us." + +Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, my boys. I'm proud of you for being honest and willing to learn. Now, let's clean up your blocks and put them away. Then we can have some cookies and milk." + +Tom and Sam said, "Yay, cookies and milk!" They hugged their mom and helped her clean up their blocks. They learned a valuable lesson that day: to be careful and respectful of their things, and not to be foolish and try to make them do what they can't. They also learned to appreciate their mom and her love and wisdom. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars and trucks in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. Sometimes they would crash into each other and laugh. + +"Look, Lily, I have a big truck!" Tom said, holding up his yellow toy. "It can carry a lot of things in the back." + +"Wow, Tom, that's a nice truck!" Lily said, admiring his toy. "Can I see it?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can see it. But be careful, it has a screw on the bottom. Don't drop it or it will break." Tom said, handing her the truck. + +Lily took the truck and looked at it closely. She saw the screw on the bottom and wondered what it was for. She touched it with her finger and felt it was hard and cold. She turned the truck over and over, trying to see how the screw worked. + +"Hey, Lily, what are you doing?" Tom asked, watching her. "Don't play with the screw. It holds the truck together." + +"I'm just looking, Tom. I want to know how the screw works." Lily said, curious. "Can I take it out and see?" + +"No, Lily, you can't take it out. It's not a toy. It's a part of the truck. If you take it out, the truck will fall apart." Tom said, worried. "Please give it back to me." + +Lily didn't listen to Tom. She wanted to see what would happen if she took out the screw. She used her fingernail to loosen the screw and pulled it out. She held it in her hand and smiled. + +"Look, Tom, I took out the screw!" Lily said, proud. "Now I can see how it works." + +But as soon as she said that, the truck dropped from her other hand and broke into pieces on the floor. The wheels, the windows, the doors, and the back all came off. Lily gasped and looked at the mess. Tom cried and looked at his broken truck. + +"Lily, why did you do that?" Tom said, angry and sad. "You broke my truck! You didn't listen to me! You were not thoughtful!" + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She didn't mean to break Tom's truck. She just wanted to learn something new. She looked at Tom and saw his tears. She wanted to make him feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry I broke your truck. I didn't know it would happen. I was not thoughtful. Please forgive me." Lily said, apologizing. "Can we fix it? Can we put the screw back in?" + +Tom sniffed and looked at Lily. He saw that she was sorry and that she wanted to help. He still loved his sister, even though she broke his truck. He decided to forgive her and try to fix it. + +"It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You made a mistake. But next time, please listen to me. I know more about trucks than you. Maybe we can fix it. Let's try to put the screw back in." Tom said, forgiving. "But we need to ask Mom for help. She has a tool that can do it." + +Lily nodded and hugged Tom. She was glad that he forgave her and that they could still be friends. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to be more thoughtful and to listen to others. She also learned that screws are not toys, but important parts of trucks. +Lily loved to play with her trumpet. She liked to make loud noises and pretend she was in a band. She always took her trumpet with her when she went to the park with her mom and dad. + +One day, she saw a boy with a big ball. He was kicking it and having fun. Lily wanted to play with him. She ran to him and asked if she could join. The boy said yes, but he told her to leave her trumpet behind. He said it was too noisy and annoying. + +Lily was sad, but she wanted to make a new friend. She put her trumpet on a bench and went to play with the ball. They kicked it back and forth and laughed. Lily forgot about her trumpet for a while. + +But then, she heard a loud honk. She turned around and saw a dog with her trumpet in its mouth. The dog was biting and shaking it. Lily screamed and ran to the bench. She tried to get her trumpet back, but the dog was too strong and fast. It ran away with her trumpet, leaving it bent and broken. + +Lily cried and cried. She loved her trumpet so much. She was angry at the boy for making her leave it. She was angry at the dog for ruining it. She was angry at herself for being careless. + +The boy felt sorry for Lily. He saw how much she loved her trumpet. He remembered that he had a toy guitar at home. He liked it, but he didn't play with it much. He had an idea. He ran to his mom and asked if he could give it to Lily. His mom said yes, and praised him for being compassionate. + +He came back to Lily with the guitar. He said he was sorry for what happened. He said he wanted to give her his guitar as a gift. He said he hoped she would forgive him and be his friend. + +Lily looked at the guitar. It was shiny and colorful. She liked it, but she still missed her trumpet. She looked at the boy. He had a kind smile. He was trying to be nice. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She decided to forgive him and be his friend. + +She thanked him for the guitar and gave him a hug. They played with the guitar and the ball. They made music and had fun. Lily learned that sometimes bad things happen, but good things can come from them. She learned that forgiving and being compassionate are important. She learned that she could make new friends and still love her trumpet. +Tom is a farmer. He has a big farm with many animals. He likes to feed them and play with them. He has a dog, a cat, a cow, a pig, a sheep and a hen. + +One day, Tom goes to the market to sell some eggs and milk. He tells his dog, "You are a good dog. You watch the farm while I am gone. I will return soon." The dog barks and wags his tail. He is happy to help Tom. + +But while Tom is away, a fox sneaks into the farm. He sees the hen and thinks, "Mmm, what a tasty snack!" He runs towards the hen, who clucks and flaps her wings. She is scared of the fox. + +The dog hears the noise and sees the fox. He thinks, "Oh no, the fox wants to eat the hen! I have to stop him!" He barks and chases the fox. The fox is surprised and afraid. He drops the hen and runs away. + +The hen is safe and grateful. She says, "Thank you, dog. You are a brilliant dog. You saved me from the fox." The dog licks the hen and says, "You are welcome, hen. You are my friend. We are a team." + +Soon, Tom returns from the market. He sees the dog and the hen. He says, "What happened here? Did you have a visitor?" The dog and the hen tell him about the fox. Tom says, "Wow, you are a brave dog and a smart hen. You protected the farm. I am proud of you." He hugs them and gives them some treats. They are happy and full. They love Tom and Tom loves them. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the long chain that hung from a big tree. They took turns to push each other and go high in the air. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Tom shouted. "I can swing faster than you!" + +Lily smiled and pushed Tom harder. She wanted to swing faster too. But then she saw something shiny on the ground. She jumped off the chain and ran to pick it up. + +"Wow, what is this?" Lily asked. She held a shiny thing in her hand. It had many small teeth that looked sharp. + +Tom stopped swinging and came to see. He was curious about the shiny thing too. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Tom said. "That is a saw. It can cut things. It can hurt you if you touch the sharp teeth." + +Lily looked at the saw and felt scared. She did not want to cut herself or Tom. She dropped the saw on the ground and ran back to the chain. + +"Let's swing again, Tom!" Lily said. "Swinging is more fun than sawing." + +Tom nodded and followed Lily. He agreed that swinging was more fun than sawing. He also thought that Lily was very smart to listen to him and be careful. He gave her a big hug and they swung together happily. +Tom and Lily like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They make piles and match the cards. They have fun. + +One day, Tom spills his juice on the cards. The cards are wet and sticky. Lily is sad. She says, "Oh no, our cards are ruined!" + +Tom says, "Don't worry, Lily. We can wash them. Let's go to the sink." They take the cards to the sink. They turn on the water. They wash the cards with soap. They rinse the cards with water. They dry the cards with a towel. + +They go back to the floor. They look at the cards. The cards are clean and shiny. But some cards are blurry. The juice made the colors run. And some cards are torn. The water made the paper soft. + +Lily says, "Oh no, our cards are not the same. They are blurry and torn. They don't look nice." + +Tom says, "Don't be sad, Lily. We can make new cards. We have paper and crayons. We can draw animals and colors. We can cut the paper. We can make piles and match the cards. We can have fun." + +Lily smiles. She says, "You are right, Tom. We can make new cards. That sounds fun. Let's do it." + +They get paper and crayons. They draw animals and colors. They cut the paper. They make piles and match the cards. They have fun. They are careful not to spill juice on the cards. They put the cards in a deep box. They keep the box safe. They are happy. +Lila liked to play with her toy shrimp. She had a big one and a small one. She named them Big Shrimp and Little Shrimp. She took them to the bath with her. She made them swim and splash and talk to each other. + +One day, Lila saw a shiny thing in the water. It was a coin. She wanted to see it better. She reached for it with her hand. But she forgot to hold on to Little Shrimp. He slipped out of her hand and went down the drain. + +Lila was very sad. She cried and cried. She said, "I'm sorry, Little Shrimp. I didn't mean to lose you. Please come back." But Little Shrimp did not come back. He was gone. + +Lila's mom heard her cry. She came to the bath. She asked, "What's wrong, Lila?" Lila told her what happened. She showed her the coin. She said, "I wanted to see the shiny thing. But I lost Little Shrimp. He was my friend." + +Lila's mom hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I know you loved Little Shrimp. But sometimes things happen that we can't control. It's not your fault. You still have Big Shrimp. He is your friend too. And maybe we can find another Little Shrimp for you." + +Lila nodded. She wiped her tears. She hugged Big Shrimp. She said, "I'm sorry, Big Shrimp. I miss Little Shrimp. But I still love you. You are my best friend." Big Shrimp smiled. He said, "I love you too, Lila. You are my best friend. And maybe we will see Little Shrimp again someday. He might be happy in the big water. He might make new friends. He might shine like the coin." Lila smiled too. She said, "Maybe you're right, Big Shrimp. Maybe he will shine. And maybe he will remember us." She kissed Big Shrimp. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Big Shrimp. You make me feel better." Lila's mom smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Lila. You make me feel proud. You are a brave and kind girl. Now let's finish your bath and get ready for bed. And maybe we can read a story about shrimp." Lila agreed. She said, "Yes, please. I like stories about shrimp. They are fun and smart and cute. Just like you, Big Shrimp." Big Shrimp winked. He said, "And just like you, Lila." They laughed and played and got ready for bed. They were happy. They were friends. They were family. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. Ben has a red scooter. Lily has a blue scooter. They ride their scooters on the sidewalk. + +One day, they see a tall man. He has a big scooter. It is black and shiny. It makes a loud noise. The tall man stops near Ben and Lily. + +"Hello, kids," the tall man says. "Do you like my scooter?" + +Ben and Lily look at the big scooter. They are scared. They do not say anything. + +The tall man smiles. He says, "Don't be afraid. My scooter is nice. It can go very fast. Do you want to try it?" + +Ben and Lily shake their heads. They do not want to try the big scooter. They like their small scooters. They think the big scooter is too big and too loud. + +The tall man says, "OK, then. Have fun with your scooters. Bye-bye." He starts his scooter and rides away. + +Ben and Lily sigh. They are happy. They ride their scooters again. They say, "We love our scooters. They are the best." +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll with a pretty face and a pink dress. Tom had a small car with four wheels and a loud horn. Lily liked her doll very much and did not want to share it with Tom. Tom liked his car very much and did not want to share it with Lily. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Tom asked Lily. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "You have your car, go away!" + +"Can I play with your car?" Lily asked Tom. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom said. "You have your doll, go away!" + +Lily and Tom were very selfish. They did not want to find a way to play together. They turned their backs to each other and hugged their toys. + +But then, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom, who had dropped a plate on the floor. Lily and Tom ran to see what happened. They saw their mom picking up the pieces of the broken plate. She looked sad and hurt. She had a cut on her face. + +"Mom, are you okay?" Lily and Tom asked. + +"I'm okay, don't worry," their mom said. "But I need a band-aid for my face. Can you help me find one?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They put down their toys and went to the bathroom. They opened the cabinet and looked for a band-aid. They found one and brought it to their mom. They helped her put it on her face. + +"Thank you, my sweeties," their mom said. "You are very kind and helpful." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They felt happy and proud. They realized that sharing and caring was more fun than being selfish. They hugged their mom and then each other. They decided to play together with their toys. They took turns with the doll and the car. They made up stories and laughed. They had a good time. +Lily loved her pet cat, Mimi. Mimi was very chubby and soft. Lily liked to hug Mimi and play with her. Mimi liked to sleep and eat. + +One day, Lily wanted to prepare a surprise for Mimi. She found some yarn and a bell in her room. She made a toy for Mimi. She tied the yarn to the bell and made a loop. She thought Mimi would like to chase the bell and have fun. + +She went to find Mimi in the living room. Mimi was sleeping on the couch. Lily smiled and put the toy on Mimi's head. She said, "Mimi, wake up! I have a surprise for you!" + +Mimi opened her eyes and saw the toy. She was scared and angry. She did not like the toy. She did not like the bell. She did not like the yarn. She did not like Lily. She hissed and scratched Lily's face. She jumped off the couch and ran away. + +Lily cried and dropped the toy. She felt pain and sadness. She did not understand why Mimi did not like her surprise. She did not understand why Mimi did not like her. She ran to her mom and showed her the scratch. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Mimi is not a nice pet. She is mean and selfish. We have to give her away. You can't play with her anymore." +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with colors. They have many crayons and papers. They draw and color many things. They are happy. + +One day, they want to make a big picture. They ask their teacher for help. The teacher gives them a long paper. It is a strip of paper. The teacher says, "You can draw and color anything you want on this strip. Then we can display it on the wall for everyone to see." + +Ben and Mia are excited. They say, "Thank you, teacher!" They start to draw and color on the strip. Ben draws a sun, a tree, and a bird.

They say, "Look, everyone! This is our strip. We made it with colors. Do you like it?" +Lily was restless. She wanted to go outside and play, but Mom said it was too cold. She looked around the living room for something fun to do. She saw Mom's purse on the sofa. She wondered what was inside. + +She walked over to the purse and peeked inside. She saw a shiny key, a red lipstick, a soft scarf, and a small book. She took out the key and held it in her hand. It felt cold and heavy. She wondered what it opened. + +She heard Mom coming from the kitchen. She quickly put the key back in the purse and zipped it up. She pretended to be reading a picture book on the floor. + +"Hi, Lily. What are you doing?" Mom asked. + +"I'm reading a book, Mom. It's about a princess and a dragon," Lily said. + +"That sounds interesting. Do you want to read it with me?" Mom asked. + +Lily nodded. She was happy to have Mom's attention.

They had a big box that was their rocket. They put on helmets and suits and pretended to fly to other planets. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they decided to go to a deep space. They wanted to see stars and aliens and new things. They packed some snacks and toys and got into their rocket. They counted down and blasted off. + +"Look, Mia, there is a big red planet!" Sam said. He pointed out the window. + +"Wow, it is so pretty! Can we land there?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, let's go!" Sam said. He pushed a button and the rocket went down. + +But the planet was not nice. It was hot and dusty and had no air. The rocket got too close and started to burn. Sam and Mia were scared. They tried to turn back, but it was too late. + +"Help, help!" they cried.

They got in the car and Mom told them to buckle their seat belts. Sara did as Mom said, but Tom did not. He said he did not want to buckle. He wanted to play with his toy car. + +"Tom, you have to buckle. It is safe and it is the rule," Mom said. + +"No, I don't!" Tom said. He was rude to Mom. He threw his toy car at Sara. It hit her on the head and made her cry. + +"Ow! Tom, that hurt!" Sara said. She was sad and angry. + +Mom stopped the car and looked at Tom. She was not happy. She told Tom to say sorry to Sara and to buckle his seat belt. She said if he did not, they would not go to the park. + +Tom did not like that. He wanted to go to the park and play on the swings and the slide. He knew he was wrong. He said sorry to Sara and gave her a hug. He buckled his seat belt and said sorry to Mom. + +Mom smiled and said thank you to Tom. She said she was proud of him for being good. She started the car and drove to the park. Sara and Tom were happy. They played together and had fun. They were not rude to each other or to Mom. They had a good day. +One day, a girl named Mia went to the park with her mom. She saw a big lake with many birds. She liked the birds that had long necks and white feathers. Mom said they were called swans. + +"Can I feed the swans, Mom?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. Swans can be sharp with their beaks. Don't get too close to them," Mom said. + +Mom gave Mia some bread to break into small pieces. Mia threw the bread into the water and watched the swans swim and eat. She saw one swan that was bigger and prettier than the others. It had a light spot on its head. + +"Look, Mom, that swan is special. It has a light on its head," Mia said. + +"That's a nice swan, Mia. Maybe it's the leader of the flock. Do you want to give it some bread?" Mom asked. + +Mia nodded and held out a piece of bread in her hand. She walked slowly towards the swan with the light spot. The swan saw her and swam closer. Mia smiled and stretched out her hand. + +But the swan did not want the bread. It wanted Mia's hand. It snapped at her fingers with its sharp beak. Mia screamed and pulled back her hand. It hurt a lot. She ran to Mom and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The swan bit me, Mom! It was mean!" Mia sobbed. + +Mom hugged Mia and looked at her hand. It was red and had a small cut. Mom took out a tissue and a band-aid from her bag and cleaned and covered Mia's wound. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. That swan was not nice. It was probably scared or angry. You did nothing wrong. You were very brave and kind to share your bread. But sometimes, animals can be sharp and hurt us. We have to be careful and respect them," Mom said. + +Mia sniffed and nodded. She felt better with Mom's hug and band-aid. She looked at the swan with the light spot. It was still in the water, looking at her. Mia did not like it anymore. She liked the other swans better. They were gentle and friendly. + +"Can we go to the swings, Mom?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, honey. Let's go to the swings. Maybe we can see some nice squirrels or butterflies on the way," Mom said. + +Mia smiled and took Mom's hand. She forgot about the sharp swan and enjoyed the rest of the day at the park. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a castle!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But be careful. The hill is steep and the grass is wet." + +They held hands and started to climb the hill. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They heard a stream and a wind. They felt happy and excited. + +But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw a lot of mist. The mist was white and cold and thick. They could not see anything else. They felt nervous and scared. + +"Tom, I don't like the mist!" Lily said. "It makes me feel lost and cold. Can we go back?" + +"Me too, Lily!" Tom said. "But how can we go back? We can't see the path or the park. Maybe we are stuck here!" + +They hugged each other and started to cry. They wished they had not climbed the hill. They wished they had stayed in the park. + +But then they heard a voice. The voice was loud and kind and familiar. + +"Lily! Tom! Where are you?" The voice said. "I'm looking for you!" + +It was their dad. He had come to the park to pick them up. He had seen them climb the hill and followed them. He had a flashlight and a whistle. He cut through the mist and found them. + +"Lily! Tom! There you are!" He said. "I'm so glad I found you! Are you OK?" + +"Dad!" Lily and Tom said. "We're OK! We're sorry! We were playing and we got lost in the mist!" + +"It's OK, my loves!" He said. "Don't be sorry. You were brave and curious. But next time, don't go too far without me. The mist can be dangerous and tricky. Come on, let's go home. I have cookies and milk for you!" + +He took their hands and led them down the hill. The mist cleared and they saw the park again. They felt safe and warm and happy. They learned a lesson and had a story to tell. They loved their dad and he loved them. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box of paints in the garage. They wanted to make colorful pictures, so they took the paints and some paper to their room. + +"Let's mix the paints and see what colors we get," Ben said. He poured some red and yellow paint into a cup and stirred it with a stick. "Look, I made orange!" + +"Wow, that's cool," Sam said. He poured some blue and green paint into another cup and mixed it. "I made turquoise!" + +They dipped their brushes into the cups and started to paint on the paper. They made flowers, cars, stars, and animals. They had fun mixing the paints and making new colors. + +But they also made a big mess. They spilled paint on the floor, the bed, the walls, and their clothes. They didn't notice because they were too busy painting. + +Their mom came to check on them and saw the mess. She was very angry. "What have you done?" she shouted. "You ruined the room and the paints! Those were not for you to play with! They were for dad's work!" + +Ben and Sam were scared. They tried to hide behind the paper, but mom saw them. She grabbed them by their arms and dragged them to the bathroom. She made them take off their clothes and put them in the trash. She turned on the shower and washed them with soap and water. They cried and shivered. + +Mom was still angry. She took them to their room and buckled them into their chairs. She took away their toys and their paper. She said they had to stay there until dad came home. She said they were very naughty and had to learn to respect other people's things. + +Ben and Sam felt very sorry. They wished they had not played with the paints. They wished they had been more alert and careful. They learned that mixing paints was not a good idea.

They learned a hard lesson. +Tim and Sue were twins who lived on a big ranch with many animals.

He said he had a special gift for each of them, something they had always wanted. He told them to follow him to the barn, where he had hidden the gifts. Tim and Sue were very excited and curious.

Tim and Sue gasped and clapped their hands. They saw two beautiful ponies, one brown and one white, with ribbons on their manes and tails. They looked friendly and gentle. Their dad said, "The brown one is for Tim, and the white one is for Sue. They are gifted ponies, they can do many tricks and learn fast. You can name them whatever you want, and I will teach you how to ride them and take care of them." + +Tim and Sue thanked their dad and hugged him. They were so happy and grateful. They ran to their ponies and petted them. They decided to name them Brownie and Snowy. They tried to climb on their backs, but they struggled a bit. Their dad helped them and showed them how to hold the reins and use their legs. He said, "Don't worry, you will get better with practice. Just be patient and gentle with your ponies, and they will love you and obey you." + +Tim and Sue nodded and smiled. They felt a bond with their ponies, and they couldn't wait to learn more and have fun with them. They thanked their dad again and said, "This is the best day ever!"

Lily says. + +They go inside their castle and pretend to be a king and a queen. They have a throne, a crown, a scepter and a cape. They make rules and give orders. + +But Lily is clumsy. She trips over a block and falls down. She knocks down a wall of the castle. The blocks fall everywhere. + +"Oh no, Lily! You broke our castle!" Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Ben! I didn't mean to!" Lily says. + +They look at their castle. It is not big and pretty anymore. It is a mess. + +They feel sad and angry. They start to cry. + +But then, they remember something. They remember that they are friends. They remember that they can create again. + +They hug each other and say sorry. They wipe their tears and smile. + +"Let's create a new castle, Lily! A better one!" Ben says. + +"OK, Ben! Let's do it! And be careful this time!" Lily says. + +They pick up their blocks and start to create again. They have fun and use their imagination.

She climbed on a chair and reached for the cake with her hand. + +But she did not know that the cake was not ready yet. Mom had only put the frosting on top, but the inside was still raw. Lily took a big bite and felt a yucky taste in her mouth. She spat out the cake and made a face. + +"Ew, ew, ew! This cake is bad!" she cried. + +Mom heard her and came back to the kitchen. She saw Lily with cake on her hand and mouth, and the hole in the cake. + +"Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked, looking angry and sad. + +Lily felt embarrassed. She knew she did something wrong.

She was not happy, but she loved Lily. + +"I know, honey, but you have to wait until the cake is baked. It is not good to eat raw cake. It can make you sick. And you ruined Dad's birthday surprise." + +Lily felt bad. She wanted to make Mom and Dad happy, not sad. She wished she could fix the cake. + +"Can we make a new cake?" she asked. + +Mom smiled and nodded. She took Lily to the sink and washed her hand and mouth. Then she took out a new bowl and some ingredients. + +"Yes, we can. But you have to help me and follow the rules. No more sneaking bites, okay?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She was glad Mom was not mad at her anymore. She wanted to help Mom make a new cake. She hoped Dad would like it. + +They mixed the ingredients and poured them into a pan. Then they put the pan in the oven and set the timer. + +"Now we have to wait until the cake is done," Mom said. + +Lily nodded and sat on the floor. She played with her toys and waited. She smelled the cake and it smelled good. She hoped it would taste good too. + +After a while, the timer beeped and Mom took out the cake. She let it cool and then put some frosting on it. She wrote "Happy Birthday Dad" with some sprinkles. + +The cake looked beautiful and yummy. Lily clapped her hands and cheered. + +"Yay, we did it! We made a new cake!" + +Mom smiled and kissed Lily. + +"Yes, we did. You are a good helper, Lily. Thank you." + +Lily hugged Mom and said, "You're welcome, Mom. I love you." + +They put the cake on a plate and covered it with a cloth. Then they waited for Dad to come home. + +When Dad came home, he saw Mom and Lily waiting for him with a big smile. He smelled the cake and guessed what it was. + +"Is that a cake I smell?" he asked. + +Mom and Lily nodded and said, "Surprise!" + +They uncovered the cake and showed it to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. + +"Wow, what a beautiful cake! Did you make it for me?" + +Mom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we did. Happy birthday, Dad!" + +Dad hugged them and said, "Thank you, Mom and Lily. You are the best. I love you." + +He cut a slice of cake and gave it to Lily. She took a bite and smiled. It tasted good. She was happy. + +She did not tell Dad about the first cake. She did not want to embarrass Mom or herself. She decided to keep it a secret. She learned her lesson. She would never sneak bites again. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his dog, Spot. One day, they went to the park to run and jump and have fun. But when they got there, they saw an enormous bird with big wings and a long beak. It was a crane, and it was looking for fish in the pond. + +Spot was curious and wanted to see the crane. He ran towards it, barking and wagging his tail. But the crane did not like Spot. It was scared and angry. It opened its beak and made a loud noise. It tried to peck Spot with its beak and hit him with its wings. + +Tom saw that Spot was in trouble. He wanted to help him, but he did not know how. He looked around and saw a cane on the ground. It belonged to an old man who was sitting on a bench. Tom ran and picked up the cane. He waved it in the air and shouted at the crane. He hoped the crane would go away and leave Spot alone. + +The crane saw Tom and the cane. It did not like Tom either. It thought Tom was trying to hurt it. It flapped its wings and flew up in the air. It circled around Tom and Spot, looking for a chance to attack. Tom and Spot were scared. They did not know what to do. + +But then, the old man saw what was happening. He got up from the bench and walked towards Tom and Spot. He called the crane by its name. He said, "Coco, come here. Stop being naughty. These are my friends. They do not want to harm you." He held out his hand and the crane landed on it. He stroked its feathers and talked to it softly. He said, "Coco, you are a good bird. But you have to be nice to other animals. They are not your enemies. They are your friends. Can you say sorry to Spot and Tom?" + +The crane looked at the old man. It liked the old man. He was its owner and its friend. He gave it food and water and love. It felt sorry for being mean to Spot and Tom. It nodded its head and made a low noise. It said, "Sorry, Spot. Sorry, Tom." It stretched out its wing and touched Spot's nose. It touched Tom's hand. It said, "Friends?" + +Spot and Tom were surprised and happy. They smiled and said, "Friends!" They thanked the old man and the crane. They said, "You are very kind and brave. You helped us.

They scream and run away. + +A man comes to the box. He has a hat and a badge. He is a zookeeper. He is looking for the blue snake. He says, "Who opened this box? This is a rare snake. I was going to send it to another zoo. It is not dangerous, but it is very fast. I need to catch it before it gets lost." + +He sees the snake on the grass. He runs to it and grabs it. He puts it back in the box and closes it. He says, "Thank you, Tom and Sue, for telling me where the snake is. You are brave and smart. But next time, do not open boxes that are not yours. You never know what is inside." + +Tom and Sue nod and say, "We are sorry, Mr. Zookeeper. We will not do it again. We are glad you found your snake. Can we see it again at the zoo?" + +The zookeeper smiles and says, "Of course, you can. Come and visit me anytime. I will show you the blue snake and many other animals. Goodbye, Tom and Sue. Have fun in the park." + +Tom and Sue wave and say, "Goodbye, Mr. Zookeeper. Thank you for your snake story. We will see you soon." They go back to the swing, slide and run. They are happy and careful. They do not open boxes that are not theirs. They only open boxes that are theirs. Like the ones with toys and snacks. +Lily and Tom liked to play with their toy trains. They had many engines of different colors and sizes. They made tracks on the floor and pretended to be drivers. + +One day, they found a new engine in a box. It was shiny and red, and it had a button on the side. Lily wanted to try it, but Tom was not sure. + +"What does the button do?" he asked. + +"I don't know. Let's find out!" Lily said.

He said, "Watch me, Lily. I can touch the cactus and not feel any pain. I am very strong and cool." + +He reached out his hand and touched the cactus. But he was wrong. The cactus was very harsh and it hurt him a lot. He cried out loud and pulled back his hand. It was bleeding and had many spikes in it. + +Lily ran to him and helped him. She said, "I told you, Tom. The cactus is not a toy. You should not touch it. You should listen to your friends and be careful. That is how you can be brave and cool." + +Tom felt sorry and said, "You are right, Lily. I was silly and I did not listen. I am sorry. The cactus is not a toy. It is a plant that lives in the park. I will not touch it again. I will listen to you and be careful.

They had a lot of fun and did not care about anything else. + +But then, a big dog came running to them. The dog was filthy and had sharp teeth. It wanted to play with the ball too. It grabbed the ball with its mouth and ran away. Tom and Ben chased the dog, but they could not catch it. + +The dog took the ball to a trash can. It ripped the ball apart with its teeth and claws. It destroyed the ball and made a big mess. The ball was gone and the trash can was full of holes. + +Tom and Ben were very sad and angry. They had no ball to play with anymore. They had no score to count. They had no fun to share. They went home crying and told their mom what happened. Their mom was sorry for them, but she could not buy them a new ball. She had no money to spare. She said they had to be careful and not play near dogs. + +Tom and Ben learned a hard lesson. They wished they had a ball and a friend to play with. They wished they had not met the filthy dog. They wished they had a happy ending. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They also liked to eat ice-cream. Sometimes, they would share their ice-cream with each other. + +One day, Tom had a big ice-cream cone with chocolate and vanilla. Lily had a small ice-cream cup with strawberry. Lily wanted to try Tom's ice-cream, but Tom did not want to share. + +"Can I borrow some of your ice-cream, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"No, this is my ice-cream. You have your own ice-cream," Tom said. + +"But I want to taste your ice-cream. It looks so yummy. Please, Tom, can I have a little bit?" Lily begged. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Lily. You are not my friend anymore," Tom said. He turned his back to Lily and licked his ice-cream. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought Tom was a bad friend. She did not want to play with him anymore. She walked away from Tom and looked for someone else to play with. + +She saw Ben, who was playing with a ball. Ben was a dependable friend. He always shared his toys and snacks with Lily. Lily liked Ben. + +"Hi, Ben. Can I play with you?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. You can play with me. Do you want to kick the ball?" Ben said. + +"Yes, I do. Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend," Lily said. + +They played with the ball and had fun. They also shared their ice-cream. Lily gave Ben some of her strawberry ice-cream, and Ben gave Lily some of his mint ice-cream. + +They both liked each other's ice-cream. They both smiled and laughed. + +Tom saw them and felt lonely. He wished he had shared his ice-cream with Lily. He wished he had been a good friend. He learned his lesson. He decided to say sorry to Lily and Ben, and ask them to play with him. He hoped they would forgive him. He hoped they would be friends again. +Lily liked to write in her diary every day. She wrote about her toys, her friends, her family and her dreams. She used a pink pen and drew pictures of flowers and stars. She kept her diary under her pillow and did not let anyone see it. + +One day, her brother Tom found her diary and opened it. He wanted to read what Lily wrote and make fun of her. He did not know that Lily had a secret. Her diary was unusual. It could talk. + +"Hey, who are you?" the diary said in a loud voice. "You are not Lily. You are Tom. You are mean. Go away!" + +Tom was scared. He dropped the diary and ran out of the room. He did not want to touch the diary again. + +Lily came back from the park and saw her diary on the floor. She picked it up and hugged it. + +"Are you okay, diary?" she asked. + +"Yes, I am okay, Lily," the diary said. "But Tom tried to read me. He was rude. I told him to go away." + +Lily smiled. She was glad that her diary was her friend. She wrote a new part in her diary. She wrote: "I love my diary. It is unusual. It can talk. It is the best." +Lily was very sleepy. She had played a lot with her toys and her dog. She wanted to go to bed, but she had to brush her teeth first. She went to the bathroom and picked up her toothbrush. + +She turned on the tap and waited for the water to come out. But nothing happened. She turned the tap more and more, but still no water. She was confused. Why was there no water? She yawned and rubbed her eyes. + +She heard a voice from downstairs. It was her mom. "Lily, come here, please. There is something I need to tell you." + +Lily put down her toothbrush and walked to the stairs. She saw her mom holding a flashlight. "What's going on, mom?" she asked. + +"Sweetie, there is a big storm outside. The wind and the rain have made the power go out. That's why there is no light and no water. We have to wait until the storm is over and the power comes back." + +Lily felt scared. She did not like the dark and the noise. She hugged her mom and said, "Can I sleep with you and dad tonight?" + +"Of course, honey. Come on, let's go to our bedroom. We have some candles and books there. We can read a story and cuddle until we fall asleep." + +Lily smiled and nodded. She followed her mom to the bedroom, where her dad and her dog were waiting. She snuggled with them and felt warm and safe. She yawned again and closed her eyes. She hoped the storm would end soon and the power would come back. She dreamed of water and light. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a big red flag that they used to make a fort. They took turns to be the king or the queen of the fort, and they had fun. + +One day, a big boy came to the park. He saw the flag and wanted to take it. He ran to the fort and grabbed the flag. Tom and Sue were angry. They shouted at the big boy to give back their flag. + +"Hey, that's our flag! Give it back!" Tom shouted. + +"No, it's mine now! You can't have it!" the big boy shouted back. + +Sue was brave. She tried to get the flag from the big boy. She pulled and pulled, but the big boy was stronger. He pushed Sue to the ground. Sue cried. She hurt her knee. + +Tom was scared. He saw Sue crying and the big boy holding the flag. He wanted to help Sue, but he didn't know what to do. He looked around and saw a big stick. He thought he could use the stick to hit the big boy and get the flag. + +He picked up the stick and ran to the big boy. He shouted, "Leave us alone! Give us our flag!" + +The big boy saw Tom coming with the stick. He was not afraid. He was angry. He threw the flag to the ground and picked up a rock. He threw the rock at Tom. The rock hit Tom in the head. Tom fell down. He didn't move. He didn't make a sound. + +The big boy ran away. He didn't care about the flag or Tom or Sue. He was mean. + +Sue saw Tom lying on the ground. She was scared. She ran to Tom and shook him. She shouted, "Tom, Tom, wake up! Please, wake up!" + +But Tom didn't wake up. He was hurt. He was serious. Sue cried. She was alone. She wished she had never played with the flag. She wished the big boy had never come to the park. She wished Tom was okay. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys. They had a big box of animals. Lila liked the elephant best. She said, "Elephant is big and gray. He has a long nose and big ears. He can make loud sounds. He is my friend." + +Ben liked the lion best. He said, "Lion is yellow and brown. He has a mane and sharp teeth. He can run fast and roar. He is the king of the animals." + +They decided to make a house for their animals. They found a cardboard box and some crayons. They drew windows and doors on the box. They cut out the doors with scissors. They said, "This is our house. It is nice and cozy. Our animals can live here." + +They tried to put their animals in the house. Ben put the lion in first. He said, "Lion fits in the house. He can sleep on the floor. He can look out the window. He is happy." + +Lila tried to put the elephant in next. She said, "Elephant does not fit in the house. He is too big. His nose and ears stick out. He cannot go in. He is sad." + +Ben said, "Maybe we can make the house bigger. We can find another box and tape it to this one. Then elephant can fit in the house. He can be happy too." + +Lila said, "That is a good idea. Let's do that. Then we can play with our animals. They can be friends." + +They went to look for another box. They saw a lemonade stand. They said, "We are thirsty. Let's buy some lemonade. It is sweet and cold. It will make us feel good." + +They went to the lemonade stand. They saw a girl selling lemonade. She said, "Hello. Do you want some lemonade? It is only one penny a cup. It is the best lemonade in the world." + +They said, "Yes, please. We want some lemonade. We have two pennies. We can buy two cups." + +They gave the girl their pennies. She gave them two cups of lemonade. They said, "Thank you. You are very nice." + +They drank their lemonade. They made a face. They said, "Yuck. This lemonade is not sweet and cold. It is bitter and warm. It does not make us feel good. It makes us feel bad." + +The girl said, "I'm sorry. I ran out of sugar and ice. I only had lemons and water. I thought you would not notice. I wanted to make more money." + +They said, "That is not fair. You tricked us. You should not lie to people. You should give us our pennies back. Or give us some real lemonade." + +The girl said, "No. I will not give you your pennies back. Or give you some real lemonade. You already drank your lemonade. You cannot have more. Go away." + +They said, "You are mean. We do not like you. We will not buy your lemonade again. We will tell our friends not to buy your lemonade either. You will not make more money. You will lose money." + +They left the lemonade stand. They were angry and sad. They said, "We do not have another box. We do not have more pennies. We cannot make the house bigger. We cannot fit the elephant in the house. We cannot play with our animals. We cannot be happy." + +They went back to their house. They saw the elephant waiting for them. He said, "Hello. I missed you. Where did you go?" + +They said, "We went to buy some lemonade. But it was bitter and warm. And the girl was mean and lied to us. And we do not have another box. And we cannot fit you in the house. And we are not happy." + +The elephant said, "I'm sorry. That sounds bad. But you do not need another box. Or lemonade. Or a mean girl. You have me. And I have you. And we are friends. And that is enough. And that makes me happy." + +He hugged them with his nose. They hugged him back. They said, "You are right. We have you. And you have us. And we are friends. And that is enough. And that makes us happy." + +They smiled. They said, "Thank you. You are very nice. You are the best elephant in the world." + +They played with their animals. They were happy. The end. +Anna and Ben love to visit the zoo. They like to see all the different animals and learn their names. Their favorite animal is the panda. The panda is black and white and very fluffy. The panda likes to eat bamboo and play with its friends. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the zoo with their mom and dad. They run to the panda enclosure and look for the panda. They see it sitting on a rock, chewing some bamboo. They wave and say hello to the panda. + +"Hello, panda! You are so cute and soft!" Anna says. + +"Can we pet you, panda? You look so friendly!" Ben says. + +The panda hears them and looks at them. It smiles and nods. It gets up from the rock and walks towards them. Anna and Ben are very happy. They think the panda wants to play with them. + +But the panda has a different idea. It reaches a small pond and dips its paw in the water. Then it shakes its paw and sprays water at Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben are surprised and wet. They scream and laugh. + +"Hey, panda! Why did you spray us?" Anna says. + +"That's not nice, panda! You made us wet!" Ben says. + +The panda thinks it is funny. It sprays them again and again. It does not stop. It is very persistent. Anna and Ben try to dodge the water, but they cannot. They get wetter and wetter. + +"Mom, dad, help us! The panda is spraying us!" Anna and Ben call. + +Their mom and dad hear them and come to see what is happening. They see the panda spraying their children with water. They also think it is funny.

She grabs Tom's piece and throws it on the floor. It breaks. She cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. He feels something sharp in his hand. He looks at his hand. He sees blood. He cries too. + +"Tom, Mia, what is going on?" Tom's mom says. She hears the noise. She comes to Tom's room. She sees the broken piece, the blood, and the tears. She is worried. + +"Mom, Mia broke my piece and I cut my hand!" Tom says. + +"Mom, Tom took my queen and I was mad!" Mia says. + +"Tom, Mia, you are both wrong. Chess is a game. You should play nicely and follow the rules. And you should never hurt each other or break things. I am sorry you are hurt, Tom. Let me clean your wound and put a band-aid on it. And I am sorry you are sad, Mia. Let me hug you and calm you down. Then you can say sorry to each other and share a snack. Maybe you can play another game that is more fit for you.

She pulls the folder. Mom pulls the folder too. The folder falls to the floor. The papers inside the folder fly everywhere. Mom is angry. She says "Anna, what did you do? That folder is important! It has my work in it!" + +Anna is scared. She did not mean to make mom angry. She did not know the folder was important. She says "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to show you my picture. I made it for you. I love you, mom." She holds up her picture. + +Mom sees Anna's picture. She sees Anna's sad face. She feels sorry. She says "I'm sorry, too, Anna. I know you wanted to show me your picture.

It is important to me." She smiles. Anna smiles too. They go to the kitchen. They are happy. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big truck with a motor. The motor made the truck go fast and make loud noises.

They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a huge round thing in the sky. It was yellow and bright. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"It is the sun," Ben said. "It gives us light and warmth." + +"Can we touch it?" Lily asked. + +"No, it is too far and too hot," Ben said. "We would get hurt." + +They kept playing until the sun started to go down. It looked like a big orange ball. + +"Look, the sun is changing," Lily said. + +"It is getting ready to close," Ben said. "It will go to sleep soon." + +"Where does it sleep?" Lily asked. + +"Behind the hills," Ben said. "But it will come back tomorrow." + +They watched the sun close its eye and disappear. The sky turned dark and the stars came out. + +"Wow, they are so pretty," Lily said. + +"They are like tiny suns," Ben said. "But they are far and cold." + +"Can we touch them?"

She puts the ruler next to Coco and says, "Coco, stay still. I want to measure you." + +Coco looks at the ruler and says, "Measure? What is measure?" + +Anna says, "Measure is when you see how long or how tall something is. Look, this ruler has numbers. They tell you how many inches something is. I want to see how many inches you are." + +Coco says, "Inches? What are inches?" + +Anna says, "Inches are these little lines on the ruler. See, one, two, three, four, and so on. Each line is one inch. If you are five inches long, that means you are as long as five lines." + +Coco says, "Oh, I see. Can I measure you too?" + +Anna says, "Sure, you can measure me too. But first, let me measure you. Hold still, Coco." + +Anna puts the ruler next to Coco's body and counts the lines. She says, "Coco, you are eight inches long. That's very big for a parrot. You are a big, green, smart parrot." + +Coco says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good, kind, pretty girl. Now, can I measure you?" + +Anna says, "Okay, Coco. You can measure me. But you have to be careful. Don't peck me with your beak." + +Coco says, "Don't worry, Anna. I won't peck you. I love you." + +Anna lies down on the floor and Coco hops on her head.

They also liked to touch their soft wool and pretend to shear them. + +One day, they found a big pair of scissors in the drawer. They thought it would be fun to cut the wool of their toy sheep. They did not know that scissors were sharp and dangerous. + +They took the scissors and started to snip the wool of their toy sheep. They made a big mess of wool on the floor. They laughed and said, "Look, our sheep are bald!" + +But then, Tom cut too deep. He cut the wool and the skin of his toy sheep. He also cut his finger. He cried out, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" + +Lila heard him and saw the blood. She was scared and said, "Oh no, Tom, what did you do? You hurt your sheep and yourself!" + +She ran to get their mom. Their mom came and saw the scissors and the wool and the blood. She was angry and said, "Lila and Tom, what have you done? You were very naughty and careless. You could have hurt yourselves badly. You also ruined your toy sheep. They are not toys anymore. They are trash." + +She took the scissors and the toy sheep and threw them in the bin. She bandaged Tom's finger and scolded them both.

She hugs him and kisses his finger. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Mia asks. + +"Yes, I am okay, Mia," Ben says. "But the bald duck is mean. It does not want my scarf." + +"Maybe the bald duck likes its head the way it is," Mia says. "Maybe it does not need a scarf." + +"Maybe you are right, Mia," Ben says. "But I still like my scarf. It is warm and soft." + +They pick up the scarf and the bread. They go back to their house. They have hot chocolate and cookies. They are happy. They are still friends. +Anna was very sick.

Can I go now?" + +Lily was not in a hurry. She wanted to enjoy her lunch and be polite. She ate her sandwich in small bites, drank her juice in sips and ate her fruit slowly. She cared about her tray. She said, "Thank you, Mom. This is very yummy." + +Mom smiled at Lily and said, "You're welcome, sweetie. You are a good girl." She looked at Tom and said, "Tom, you are not done. You have to eat your fruit and clean your tray. You cannot waste food and make a mess. You have to be respectful and grateful." + +Tom pouted and said, "But Mom, I don't like fruit. And I want to play. Why do I have to do that?" + +Mom said, "Because fruit is good for you. And because you have to care about your things and the things of others. If you don't care, you will not be happy or make others happy.

I will learn from my mistake." + +Mommy smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. I love you. And I still have another vase in the closet.

A big, beautiful diamond. + +"Look, children," he said. "This is not a monster. This is a diamond. Someone must have lost it here. It's very valuable." + +He showed the diamond to Lily and Tom. They were amazed. They had never seen such a big and shiny stone. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said. + +"Can we keep it?" Tom asked. + +The man smiled. He was very kind. + +"No, children," he said.

They want to try it. + +Miss Lee shows them how to play. She gives them some rules. They have to take turns to roll the dice. They have to say the number out loud.

"They are better than mine!" + +Mom shook her head. "Tom, that's not how we play. You have to share and be kind to your sister. You have enough blocks for yourself.

She opened the cupboard and saw lots of yummy snacks. + +The little girl said, “I wonder what these pieces of food are?†But when she tried to grab one of the snacks, the cupboard doors shut tight. + +The little girl started to cry and talk to the cupboard. She begged it to open and let her out, but the cupboard was too strong. + +The little girl was stuck in the cupboard and there was nothing she could do. Her delicate hands were no match for the cupboard’s strength. She was stuck in the cupboard forever. +Once there was a little girl. Her name was Amy. She was three years old. + +One day, Amy saw something very exciting. It was a yoga class. Amy really wanted to join the class. + +Amy went up to the teacher and asked, “Can I join your yoga class?†+ +The teacher smiled and said, “Yes! You are very welcome to join us.†+ +So Amy started doing yoga. She stretched and moved her body. + +When the class was over, the teacher offered Amy something to eat. It was a bitter fruit. Amy had never tasted anything so bitter before. + +“Oh, it tastes so sour!†said Amy, making a sour face. + +The teacher laughed and said, “It’s ok, sweetie. It’s just a bit bitter. Why don’t you try a sweeter one?†+ +So Amy chose a sweet fruit and ate it. It was much better than the bitter one. + +After that, Amy did yoga every day and ate lots of tasty fruits. +The little girl was always so curious and she wanted to join in any fun adventure she could find.

She quickly jumped off and looked for what it was. To her surprise, she saw a little bird nest!

Instead they made sure the eggs were safe and warm by covering them with soft grass. + +The little girl then joined the boys in their rolling again. This time, she was much more careful as she knew how fragile life can be. She rolled down the hill with a sense of joy and appreciation. +John was a 3 year old boy. He always liked to do things.

The pirate king said "I can never forgive you for revealing my treasure, so now you must do my bidding. Go to the cave up the hill and you'll find a fangless dragon.

On the day the chair was scheduled to be completed, the doctor made a major mistake. The chair he designed was too large for Sam! + +Sam was disappointed. He didn't want the chair to be designed so clumsily. Then, Sam had an excellent idea. He suggested that the doctor design two chairs instead of one. This way Sam could sit in one chair and use the other chair to place his belongings in. + +The doctor thought it was a great idea and quickly began to design two chairs. When the chairs were finished, they fit Sam perfectly. He was so pleased with the result and thanked the doctor for coming up with such a great solution. +Once upon a time, there was an old gray horse.

Zoe handed the sweet to Jack and said, "Now you can have this sweet." + +Jack was so happy that he shared the sweet with Zoe.

She squealed with excitement and decided to take them home with her. + +The little girl was very proud of her discovery. She knew that the different lizards would make a great addition to her room. She happily held onto the lizards and went home. The end. +Jim and his mom were getting ready for the party. Jim was so excited to decorate the house because he loved decorating. He wanted to put dinosaurs everywhere. + +"Can I put dinosaurs everywhere, Mom?" asked Jim. + +"Yes, you can," said his mom with a big smile. + +Jim was so happy. He put the dinosaurs around the house. He put them in the bathroom, the kitchen, and even in the living room. + +When the party started, everyone was so surprised to see all the dinosaurs. They thought it was great - until they saw Jim's dad. He was angry and felt so guilty. + +He had forgotten his wedding anniversary and that was why his wife had decided to throw a party. No one wanted to talk to him and he felt so sad that he had ruined the party. + +The party was a disaster and Jim felt guilty. He had forgotten about his dad's mistake and didn't understand why the party had gone so wrong. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends. One day, they decided to create a pond. The best friends wanted to fill the pond with water. + +"It will be so much fun," said the first friend. +"Yes, but it might get really disgusting," said the second friend. + +So, the two best friends got to work. They worked hard and soon had filled their pond with dirt, mud and smelly water. It was disgusting! + +But then something amazing happened. Fish suddenly appeared in the pond and began swimming around. The best friends were so excited. They had created a habitable pond and were now seeing the results. + +The two friends knew right away that they had done something special. From that day forward, they enjoyed playing in the pond and watching the fish together. +John was playing hide and seek with his friends. He wanted to win, so he hid in an underground cave. + +John's friend Mary called, "John, where are you?" + +John stayed quiet, hoping not to be found. Mary said, "I know you're hiding somewhere nice!" + +John stayed silent. He knew she was trying to trick him, so he stayed still. + +Suddenly, Mary exclaimed, "I found you!" + +John was disappointed but happy at the same time. He had been found, but he had found a really nice underground place to hide. + +John smiled and emerged from the cave. "I guess I didn't win this time," he said. + +Mary smiled and put her arm around him. "That's alright," she said. "I'm sure you'll win next time!" + +With that, they resumed their game of hide and seek. John was determined—this time, he would win! +Once upon a time, there were two boys named Jack and Tom. They loved playing football together. One day Jack said to Tom, "Let's go play with my new football!" + +Tom was excited and they raced to Jack's house. Jack took out his new football and they started to play. Suddenly, Jack's foot slipped and he kicked too hard, the football broke in two pieces. + +Tom was sad. He cried and said to Jack, "Why did you break the football?" Jack was sad too, but he knew it wasn't his fault. He said, "It was an accident, I'm sorry." + +Then Jack had an idea. He asked Tom, "Do you have something more attractive to play with?" Tom thought for a minute and suddenly smiled. He said, "Yes! I have lots of toys at home we can play with!" + +So Jack and Tom went to Tom's house and spent the day playing with all of Tom's toys. They had lots of fun and soon they forgot all about the broken football. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Toby and Steve, who loved to paint. Steve had a big brush with a long handle and Toby had a small one. + +"Let's paint something nice!" Toby said. + +Steve smiled. "Let's paint the sky. We can make it look really cool!" + +So they got to work. Toby painted big swirls and Steve made brightly coloured stars and shapes. They had so much fun painting together. + +Months later, Toby and Steve had an argument. They were both so angry they each painted a mean picture of the other. Steve even threw his brush with the long handle down in a huff. + +Just then, a wise old man walked by. + +"Young boys," he said. "It's nice to paint together. Let's try to stay friends." + +The boys felt ashamed. They deleted their mean pictures and started to paint something nice again. Soon they were laughing and having a great time. + +The moral of the story is that it's better to stay friends and paint nice things together. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Lily and Toby. One day, they decided to sail in Lily's pink boat. Toby was very excited. + +The two friends sailed into the sunset. Lily hugged the pole tightly as she closed her eyes. The texture of the boat was so soft and smooth. She felt relaxed and happy. + +Suddenly, there was a loud splash and Toby screamed! Lily opened her eyes and saw a giant pink fish. Toby was so scared that he was shaking. + +The giant pink fish said in a deep voice, "You should not have sailed today! Now you must pay the price!" + +Lily and Toby were so frightened they could not move. They watched in horror as the giant pink fish swallowed Toby and sailed away. + +Lily was so heartbroken she wept until there were no more tears. She never saw Toby again. +Tommy was a three-year-old boy. He was joyous and eager to play.

Let's all serve up a grand feast!" + +The animals agreed and gathered what they could find. Once all the food was ready, the banquet began. Everyone enjoyed the tasty treats. They gobbled up the food and celebrated the lively spring. + +The feast was such a success, they decided to make it a yearly tradition. Every year, they'd all come back together to serve up the same meal and say hello to their old friends. + +The end. +Jimmy and Mandy were playing together when Jimmy noticed something strange. Mandy wasn't talking, she was just staring off into the distance with a sad expression. + +Jimmy asked Mandy why she was so quiet, but she didn't answer. Jimmy asked again, but Mandy still didn't respond. + +Suddenly, Mandy started to cry. Jimmy asked again why she was crying, this time in a very gentle voice. + +Mandy finally answered, her voice full of sadness. "I'm deaf," she said. + +Jimmy felt really sorry for Mandy and gave her a big hug.

She was so excited about it that she asked her parents for help. She said the tree would make the garden more beautiful and it would give her some yummy apples to eat. + +They helped her to get everything ready, then she planted the apple tree. She watered it every day, and it grew really tall and happy. + +The little girl was so proud when she saw the tree. Now, her garden looked even more beautiful, fuller, and brighter. + +The moral of the story is that when we decide to do something, we should stick with it and be proud of our hard work. It's important to take care of what we plant, because that's how it will grow. +Once there was a smart cat named Sam. Sam was living in a big house, and every day he would look out the window at the birds in the park. One day Sam saw a very thick smoke rising up in the sky. + +A little mouse named Mac was living nearby, and he saw the smoke too. Mac asked Sam: "What is that smoke?" + +Sam thought really hard and said "I think it might be a match. It looks like somebody is burning something." + +Mac looked surprised. "That's so strange!" he said. + +But Sam didn't think it was strange at all. He knew that people can do intelligent things - like use matches to start a fire. + +And soon enough the smoke went away, and the birds came back to play. +Once upon a time, there lived two brothers in a small house. They each had their own bedroom and they shared the kitchen. One day, the older brother Bobby wanted to borrow an apron from his younger brother Billy. So, he went up to Billy's room. + +"Billy, I want to borrow your apron, please?" Bobby asked. + +"Why do you want to borrow it?" Billy replied. + +"I want to make a cake with Mama," Bobby answered. + +Billy thought for a moment and then he said, "Ok, you can borrow it!"

He like to explore the world around him. His mom watched from the window as he ran around the garden. + +Then Mark came to the stairs. He stopped, looking up.

His mom came to the window. + +"What is it, Mark?" + +"I want to climb the stairs!" + +His mom smiled. + +"Well, why don't you try using the rail on the side? It's very useful." + +Mark looked. Sure enough, there was a rail attached to the stairs. He grabbed it and started to climb. Step by step, he got closer and closer to the top. His mom watched proudly as he reached the top of the stairs. + +Mark had used the rail and found it very useful. That would come in handy next time he had a tall challenge ahead of him. +Mama was measuring a big puddle in the yard. "What are you doing?" asked Lucy, the 3 year old girl. +"I am measuring this puddle. It's so unique because it's so big. Can you help me measure it?" asked Mama. +Lucy ran to her mama and held her hands out. "I can measure it with my feet," she said. +Mama smiled. "That's a great idea," she said. +Lucy stepped one foot careful into the puddle. "One," she said. She carefully stepped with her other foot. "Two," she counted. +Mama and Lucy measured the puddle together. When they were done Mama said, "We did it! What a unique puddle!" +Lucy beamed with pride. They had measured the big puddle together, just like Mama said. +Bobby and his mommy went to the park. It was a busy place, the slides were tall and the swings were fun. + +"Mommy, can I try the slide!" Bobby asked excitedly. + +"Yes, of course!" his mommy said. Bobby smiled, and he raced to the bottom of the slide. He tried going down fast and then slow. He liked the feeling of the wind on his face. + +After he finished the slide, they moved to the swings. He tried to pump his legs as fast as he could. His mommy would laugh and say, "Be careful, Bobby!" But Bobby kept trying to swing higher and higher. + +Finally, it was time to go home. Bobby felt tired after being so busy at the park, but he was also happy. He had had so much fun! +Once upon a time two friends, Lucy and Sam, were playing in the playground. Sam had a bin in his hands and Lucy was watching him curiously. Suddenly, Sam shouted "Welcome bin!" and he threw the bin into the air. Lucy was so surprised, she couldn't believe her eyes. + +"How did you do that?" asked Lucy. Sam smiled and said, "It's easy! You just need to say 'welcome bin' and throw it up." + +Lucy was eager to try and said, "Okay, I'll give it a go!" She carefully took the bin in her hands and said, "Welcome bin!" She threw the bin into the air and a sense of joy and accomplishment filled her. + +Sam smiled and said, "See! I knew you could do it. You looked fine up there!" Lucy smiled and said, "Thanks, Sam.

Can you help me squeeze this lemon?" + +Gina nodded excitedly, and she started to squeeze the lemon. Soon, she and her mom had made another jar of cream.

His owner laughed and said, "I don't know, what does it do?" The kitten answered, "It takes a nap, of course!" + +The owner and the kitten laughed together. It was so much fun. Then the kitten talked about how much he liked to take naps. He said, "I love nothing more than to curl up in a sunny spot, close my eyes and take a nap!" + +Then the owner and the kitten said goodbye and the kitten went back to exploring the world. He always remembered the joke and kept making people laugh. +There was a girl named Sarah. Sarah wanted a shirt. She went to the shop to see if they had anything nice. When she got there, she saw a mild yellow shirt that was perfect. + +"I want that one," Sarah said to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper smiled. + +"That shirt will look great on you," he said. + +So Sarah paid for the shirt and immediately put it on. The shirt felt so soft and mild against her skin. She looked in the mirror and smiled. The yellow shirt suited her nicely.

Jane saw a big slide and ran to it. + +"Hey, slow down Jane," said Mum. + +Jane ran up and down the slide. + +"This is so much fun!" she said. + +Then Jane saw another kid playing with a toy truck. She asked him if she could play too. + +"No," said the other kid. "This is mine." + +Mum and Dad watched Jane but they didn't say anything. + +Jane was sad. But then she had an idea. She started to tell the other kid about her favourite ice cream. + +"My ice cream is very tasty," said Jane. + +The other kid smiled and said, "Can I try it?" + +Mum and Dad told Jane that if the other kid wanted to play, she should share her toys. + +Jane and the other kid shared the slide and played together for a long time. They laughed and ran and had fun. Jane had shown that being friendly could help make friends and that sharing was much more fun than having a toy all to herself. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Alice. She was only three and she loved painting. One day, Alice was trying to paint and she was having fun but then she dropped her paintbrush. She was about to pick it up when she saw a strange man. He was a painter. + +Alice was surprised and said "Who are you?" +The painter said "I am a painter. I make paintings for people". + +Alice smiled. Then she noticed that the painter had a big jar of strange liquid. Alice asked "What's that disgusting stuff?" + +The painter said "It's paint remover. It can tear away paint from walls so you can paint something new". + +Alice couldn't believe it and said "That's amazing!" + +The painter smiled and said "Yes.

The driver was taking a very sick person to the hospital. + +When the driver saw why the car was taking them to the hospital, her face changed. She was no longer angry. + +The moral of this story is that it's important to not get angry in life. You never know why something is happening and how it could be helping someone in need. +Once upon a time there was a powerful bird called Will. He loved to eat. Every day he flew around the forest looking for yummy food. + +One day Will was very hungry when he came across a juicy worm. He was delighted!

He was surprised at how brave the frog was. + +Will smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I was so hungry, I didn't see you there." + +The frog smiled back and said, "It's OK, that's what food is for. Let me give you some of my lunch." + +Will accepted the offer and enjoyed a tasty snack. Then he thanked the frog for being so kind and powerful. Will flew off contentedly, ready for his next adventure. +Bob was walking in the park when he saw a giant chalkboard. He was so impressed! He approached it and he realized something was missing. He looked around and saw a little girl nearby, hunched over and drawing on the ground with a piece of chalk. Bob asked her what she was doing, and she told him she was drawing an impressive picture. + +Bob watched her as she sketched out her masterpiece. He noticed it was taking her a long time, so he suggested that she finish it more quickly by using the chalkboard instead. She looked up at him, her eyes bright and impressed. She followed his suggestion, and took the chalk and ran towards the board. + +Suddenly, a big hand came out of nowhere and slapped the chalk out of the little girl's hand. It was her mother! She scolded her daughter for drawing on the ground and told her she could only draw on the chalkboard. The little girl was sad, but she accepted her mother's scolding and started to draw on the chalkboard, this time with impressive results. +Once there was a little boy called Will. He was only three years old and had just started school. Will was very excited to wear a bow in his hair but his mom told him that he wouldn't be allowed to wear it if he didn't chew with his mouth closed. Every day Will tried to remember to chew carefully but he always forgot. + +One day, Will was given a bow for his hair as a present. He was so excited to wear it that he wanted to try it on straight away. Unfortunately, Will couldn't keep his mouth closed while he was chewing and his mom saw him. She took away the bow and said in a strict voice “Will, if you chew with your mouth open then you'll never be able to wear this bow!†+ +Will was so sad that he ran outside and started crying. Suddenly, he noticed a filthy old bow sitting outside in the garden. He was so excited to find the bow that he completely forgot about his mom's warning. He picked up the bow and started to chew on it, not realizing that it was covered in dirt and mud. + +Will's mom saw him and ran outside scolding him. She told him that it was very wrong to chew on something filthy, no matter how much he wanted to wear the bow. Will understood and stopped chewing. His mom gave him a big hug and wiped away his tears. + +Will learned his lesson, and from that day onwards +Every day, Tommy went to his class to learn. Today, it was particularly hot and the sun was shining brightly. + +When Tommy arrived at class, his teacher said, "Let's go outside and sit in the shade. It's too hot in here." + +Tommy and his friends all followed the teacher out and went to sit in the shade.

You did a great job learning to use your new toy!" +Once upon a time there was a little boy called Tom who lived in a regular house. He was a good boy and he listened to his mum. His mum loved him very much, and each day she would remind him to be careful. + +One day he wanted to go out and play with his friends, but his mum said "No, it's too dark outside, stay here". Tom thought he had been good and so he asked his mum why he couldn't go outside. His mum said "Tom, when the outside is dark, you need to turn the light on. That is why I remind you to not go outside." + +Tom saw the light bulb and he smiled. He knew how to turn it on, but he pretended he didn't so that his mum would be proud of him. He said "Mummy, how do I turn the light on?" She said "It is so easy! Just press that switch next to the bulb". He pressed the switch and the light came on. + +Tom smiled and said "It works!". His mum beamed with pride and said "That's a good boy Tom, and now you don't need reminding from me anymore. You understand how the regular light works". +Tom said "Yes mummy". He turned off the light and then he went outside to play with his friends. +Sammy was walking in his backyard one day. He saw a big fence and decided to climb it. He was able to climb it because it was fit for him. + +As Sammy climbed he whistled a happy tune. When he reached the top, he could see the whole world around him.

He smiled, and started whistling again on his way back home. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Anna. She was three years old and loved playing with her dolls. On a sunny Sunday morning, Anna decided to take her doll for a walk in the park. + +On the way Anna had to cross a big hill and she was getting tired. She stopped and looked around. Suddenly she saw a great big sweater lying on the ground. It was so big that she thought it was a blanket. + +Anna grabbed the sweater and decided to use it as a blanket for her doll. She grabbed one end of the sweater and with a big tug she started to rise it up. Suddenly the sweater came to life and spoke, +"What are you doing? I'm not a blanket!" + +Anna was scared but before she could answer the sweater laughed and said, +"I'm just joking. I'm actually a magical sweater and I can grant you one wish!" + +Anna jumped for joy. She thought for one long minute and then said, +"I want a great big swimming pool in my backyard so I can play with my dolls all summer long!" + +The magical sweater twinkled and Anna's wish came true. On that day, Anna and her doll had a great time playing together in the pool. +Once upon a time, there was an adorable little girl called Anna. Anna was playing in her garden when she saw a pond. She was curious and decided to take a closer look. As Anna got closer to the pond, she heard a strange noise. She was scared. + +Anna asked her mom what the noise was. "Oh, don't worry sweetheart," said Mom. "It's just the ducks. They are scared of you too!" + +Anna smiled and went up to the pond to take a better look. She saw that the ducks had made a nest so she decided to leave them alone. + +This taught Anna an important lesson: just because something looks a bit scary, doesn’t mean it actually is. Anna was glad she asked her mom before approaching the pond. + +The moral of the story is that talking to someone and getting more information is always important. Don’t be afraid to ask questions! +The sun crept up and the day was beginning. Little Panda stood on the shore, looking out far away. He sighed and looked around. It was serious. He noticed that the lake was increasing. + +"Mum, the lake is getting bigger," he cried. + +Mum smiled and took Little Panda's hand. "It's called an increase," she said. "That means the lake is growing bigger." + +Little Panda thought about that for a moment. He looked back at the shore and realised that the lake had already taken over quite a lot of the sand and grass. He was surprised and stood still for a bit. + +"Don't worry," said mum. "There's nothing serious here. The lake sometimes increases and decreases but it's always here. We just have to be careful and make sure it doesn't go too far onto the shore!" + +Little Panda nodded and smiled. He now had a better understanding of what was happening and he was not so worried. He had to remember what mum said and be extra careful. He picked up some shells from the shore and began exploring. +Once upon a time, there lived a little girl named Holly. Holly was always feeling very alert and happy. She had so many friends, like the animals in the nearby forest. + +Every day, Holly would go to the forest to play with the animals.

Holly asked them why and one big bear encouraged her to go further into the forest. + +Confused, Holly started walking towards where the bear had urged her to go. She stumbled across a big surprise! Holly saw many more animals gathered around a pile of wool! Holly realized that the first bear had urged her to go there so the animals could play the game with her. + +Holly felt so happy that the animals had wanted to include her in their special game. She enjoyed playing with the animals very much.

She was so scared that she started to cry. + +But then, a kind lady stepped in to help. The lady said, "Don't be frightened. I'll help you find a butterfly." The little girl said, "Thank you," and smiled. + +Soon, the kind lady found the butterfly that the little girl wanted. It was a beautiful butterfly with colorful wings. The little girl thanked the kind lady and reached out her hand. + +The butterfly flew onto her finger and the little girl was so happy! She said, "Thank you, kind lady, for helping me find my butterfly!" +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Jack and Andrew. They were playing together in the park one day when Andrew stumbled over a hoop that someone had left lying on the ground. + +Jack said "Hey, what was that?" + +Andrew said "It's a hoop! I never saw it before." + +So the two friends picked it up and then Andrew said "Let's play with it. I'll throw it and you jump through it!" + +At first, Jack said he didn't want to. He thought it was silly and he was being selfish. + +But Andrew said "Come on! It'll be fun. I'll throw it really slow so it's easy. Please?" + +So Jack agreed and they started to play. They ran around the park, laughing and jumping over the hoop. It was the most fun they had ever had together. + +And ever since, they have been the best of friends. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Mike and Toby. They were playing together in a wild theater. + +Mike said, "Let's test the theater, and see if it is wild enough!" + +Toby replied, "Let's do it!" So they did. They tested the theater by climbing on the chairs and running around. + +But the theater was very wild, and the chair Mike was standing on broke. He fell hard on the floor, and his leg started to hurt. Toby helped him up, but Mike's leg still hurt. + +Toby said, "We should go to the hospital to get it checked." + +So, they went to the hospital, but it was too late, and Mike's leg was badly broken. + +Mike and Toby were sad and angry, but they learned their lesson that day. Never test a wild theater, or you may get hurt! +Jimmy was playing in his garden when his mum called him in for dinner. He was delighted as he loved to eat. + +"Come in Jimmy, it's dinner time!" she said. + +Jimmy ran inside and climbed up onto his comfortable seat at the table.

I'll be right over". + +"Mum, why do you have to go out now?" said Jimmy sadly. + +Mum smiled, "I'm sorry Jimmy, but I have to go.
