He smiles and says "Hello, Tim. I will make you look handsome. Don't be afraid. It will not hurt." He tries to take Tim's rag. But Tim is persistent. He pulls his rag back.

He loved them very much. + +One day, Tim and Tom wanted to make a joke on their dad. They saw a big hat in the closet. They thought it would be funny to hide the hat and make their dad look for it. + +They took the hat and ran outside. They hid it under a bush. They laughed and waited for their dad to come home. + +But their dad did not come home. He was in a car crash. He was hurt very bad. He had to go to the hospital. He could not find his hat or his boys. + +Tim and Tom heard the news. They were very sad and scared. They ran to the bush and got the hat. They wanted to give it back to their dad and say sorry. + +But it was too late. Their dad died in the hospital. He never saw his hat or his boys again. + +Tim and Tom cried and cried. They wished they did not make the joke. They wished they could hug their dad and tell him they loved him. They learned a hard lesson. Jokes can be cruel and hurtful. They should be careful and kind. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys. They had many cars, dolls, blocks and animals. Tom liked the yellow car the best. It was fast and shiny. Lily liked the yellow doll the best. It had long hair and a pretty dress. + +"Can I play with your yellow car?" Lily asked Tom. + +"No, it is mine. You have your yellow doll," Tom said. + +"But I want to play with both. They match. They are the same color," Lily said. + +"No, they don't match. They are different. The car is a car and the doll is a doll," Tom said. + +He held the yellow car close to him. Lily tried to grab it from him. They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came into the room. She saw the toys on the floor and the children on the couch. She was not happy. + +"Why are you fighting? You have so many toys to share. Fighting is not nice," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt bad. They did not want to make Mom sad. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We were fighting over the yellow car and the yellow doll. We both like them," Tom said. + +"Lily wanted to play with both because they match. I wanted to play with the car because it is mine," Tom said. + +Mom smiled. She had an idea. + +"I have a solution. Why don't you trade the yellow car and the yellow doll for a while? That way, you can both play with something new and different. And then, you can switch back later. How does that sound?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They liked the idea. They agreed to trade. + +"Thank you, Mom. That is a good idea. We will trade and play nicely," Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom. We will not fight anymore. We will share and have fun," Tom said. + +Mom hugged them. She was proud of them. They learned to solve their problem. They increased their happiness.

They liked to play in the park and pretend they were a princess and a prince. One day, they found a big box in the park. It looked like a palace. + +"Wow, look at this palace!" Lily said. "Let's go inside and have a tea party." + +"Okay, but I want to be the king," Ben said. "You can be the queen." + +They climbed into the box and pretended to drink tea and eat cake. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +Then, Ben said, "You know, a king and a queen have to kiss sometimes. Do you want to kiss me?" + +Lily felt shy and scared. She did not want to kiss Ben. She liked him as a friend, but not as a king. + +"No, I don't want to kiss you," she said. "That's gross." + +Ben felt angry and hurt. He liked Lily as a friend, but he also wanted to kiss her. He thought she was pretty and nice. + +"Why not?" he said. "Don't you like me?" + +"I like you, but I don't want to kiss you," Lily said. "Kissing is for grown-ups, not for kids." + +Ben did not agree. He thought kissing was for anyone who liked each other. He tried to kiss Lily anyway, but she pushed him away. + +"Stop it, Ben!" she said. "You're being mean. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +She ran out of the box and went to find her mom. Ben stayed in the box and felt sad. He did not understand why Lily did not want to kiss him. He thought they were a perfect fit. +Lily and Tom like to play in the park. They see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is inside. They go close to the hole and look down. They see a lot of dirt and rocks and bugs. They think it is underground. + +Lily and Tom are curious. They want to go underground too. They find a stick and a rope. They tie the rope to the stick and put the stick in the hole. They hold the rope and climb down. They feel the dirt and rocks and bugs on their hands and feet. They think it is dirty. + +Lily and Tom hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck is coming to fill the hole. Lily and Tom are scared. They shout for help. They pull the rope and climb up. They see the truck and the driver. The driver sees them too. He stops the truck and gets out. He is angry. + +Lily and Tom are sorry. They say they are sorry to the driver. They say they were just playing. They say they will not do it again. The driver is not so angry. He says they are lucky. He says they could have been hurt. He says they should not play in the hole. He says they should go home and wash. + +Lily and Tom nod. They say thank you to the driver. They run to their home. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom is not happy. She says they are dirty. She says they need a bath.

They say they will not play in the hole again. They say they will play somewhere else. They say they love their mom. Their mom smiles. She says she loves them too. She says they are good kids.

They think of a game that is not underground and not dirty. +Sara and Ben love to dance. They dance in the living room, in the kitchen, and in the garden. They dance to the music on the radio, or to the songs they make up. They dance fast and slow, happy and sad, silly and serious. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. It is full of old things. They see a hat, a scarf, a coat, and a dress. They also see a toy car, a doll, a ball, and a drum. They decide to play with the box. They put on the clothes and pretend to be different people. They make noises with the toys and pretend to be in different places. + +They have so much fun that they do not hear their mom calling them. She is angry because they made a big mess. She walks into the garage and sees the box and the things all over the floor. She says, "What is this? What did you do? You made a wreck of the garage! Can't you hear me? Are you deaf?" + +Sara and Ben stop playing. They look at their mom. They feel bad. They say, "Sorry, mom. We did not hear you. We were playing and dancing. We did not mean to make a wreck. We will clean up." + +Their mom sighs. She sees that they are sorry. She says, "It's okay. I know you were having fun. But you have to listen when I call you. And you have to be careful with the old things. They are not toys. They are memories. Come, I will help you clean up. And then we can dance together." +Anna and Ben are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They are very happy. They have to pack their bags. Mom helps them. + +"Anna, put your clothes on this hanger. Then you can fold them and put them in your bag. Be careful not to make them dirty or wrinkled." Mom says. + +"OK, Mom. I like this hanger. It is pink and has a flower on it. It is pretty." Anna says. She puts her dress, her shirt and her pants on the hanger. She folds them neatly and puts them in her bag. + +"Ben, you do the same. Here is a blue hanger for you. It has a star on it. It is cool." Mom says. + +"OK, Mom. I like this hanger. It is blue and has a star on it. It is cool." Ben says. He puts his shirt, his shorts and his pajamas on the hanger.

We are going to see Grandma and Grandpa. I can't wait. They are very nice and fun. They have cookies and toys for us." Anna says. + +"Me too. I love Grandma and Grandpa. They are very kind and funny. They have books and games for us." Ben says. + +They hug Mom and put their bags in the car. They are very excited. They are going to have a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. They had a red wagon that they used to carry their toys and snacks. One day, they decided to go to the park with their wagon. + +"Can I pull the wagon, Ben?" Mia asked. + +"No, I want to pull it. You can push it," Ben said. He was stubborn and did not like to share. + +"But I pulled it yesterday. It is your turn to push it," Mia said. She was stubborn too and did not want to change. + +They argued and tugged on the wagon. The wagon did not like it. It made a loud noise and one of its wheels came off. + +"Oh no! The wagon is broken!" Ben and Mia cried. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They knew they had been silly and mean. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I should have let you pull the wagon," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I should have let you push the wagon," Mia said. + +They hugged and said they were sorry to the wagon too.

They sit on the floor and lean on the tower. They close their eyes and rest. + +But then, a loud noise makes them open their eyes. It is their dog, Rex. Rex runs into the room and sees the tower. He thinks it is a toy. He jumps and barks and tries to catch the blocks. + +"Rex, no!" Ben and Mia shout. "Stop! You will break our tower!" + +But it is too late. Rex knocks down the tower with his paws and tail. The blocks fall and scatter on the floor. Rex is happy. He wags his tail and licks Ben and Mia. + +Ben and Mia are sad. They worked hard to make the tower. They look at the mess and sigh. + +"Bad dog!" Ben says. "You ruined our tower!" + +"Maybe we can make another one later," Mia says. "But now we need to clean up." + +They pick up the blocks and put them in a box. They are still tired. They decide to rest again. But this time, they rest on the couch. And they keep Rex away from the blocks. +Jen and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was gray and had a lid that could shut. Jen and Ben wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it and see!" Jen said. + +"No, we should not. Mom and Dad said not to touch anything in the garage. It could be dangerous," Ben said. + +But Jen did not listen. She lifted the lid and peeked inside. She saw something shiny and round. It looked like a ball. She wanted to play with it. + +"Look, Ben, a ball! Let's take it out and play!" Jen said. + +She reached for the ball, but it was not a ball. It was a metal can with a fuse. It was a firework that Mom and Dad had left for the Fourth of July. Jen did not know that. She pulled the can out of the box and the fuse lit up. + +"Jen, no! Put it back! It's not a ball, it's a firework! It will go boom!" Ben shouted. + +But Jen did not hear him. She was too excited. She threw the can in the air and tried to catch it. But she missed.

You could have been hurt! You could have burned the house down! Why did you touch the firework? We told you not to go in the garage!" Mom and Dad said. + +Jen and Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. They knew they had done a bad thing. They hugged Mom and Dad and said they were sorry. + +"We're sorry, Mom and Dad. We won't do it again. We didn't know it was a firework. We thought it was a ball," Jen and Ben said. + +Mom and Dad hugged them back and said they were glad they were safe. They said they loved them, but they also had to punish them. They said they had to clean up the mess and stay in their room for the rest of the day.

It smells yummy! + +Mom tells Lily to go and play in the living room while the cake is in the oven. She says she will call her when it is done.

It is very hot and can burn you!" mom says, as she grabs Lily's hand and pulls her away. "The cake is not done yet. We have to wait for the timer to beep. Then we can take it out and let it cool.

Tom asks. + +"Let's create a robot!" Mia says. + +"A robot? How do we do that?" Tom says. + +Mia thinks for a moment. She picks up a can and says, "This can be the head. We need eyes, a nose, and a mouth." + +She finds two buttons and a cork and sticks them on the can. "There, now it has a face!" she says. + +Tom likes the idea.

He lets go of the swing and flies in the air. He feels free and brave. He lands on the grass and rolls over. He laughs and wags his tail. + +But then he notices something. He notices that his friends are not laughing or wagging their tails. He notices that they are not looking at him. He notices that they are looking at something else. He notices that they are looking at a small cat. + +The small cat is sitting on a bench. She is wearing a pink bow and a collar with bells. She is licking her paw and cleaning her face. She does not care about the slide or the swing or the mightiest dog in the park. + +True feels curious and confused. He walks to the bench and sniffs the cat. The cat looks at him and meows. + +"Hello," she says. "Who are you?" + +"I am True," he says. "I am the mightiest dog in the park." + +"Really?" she says. "That's nice. I am Fluffy. I am the prettiest cat in the park." + +True does not know what to say. He does not know if he likes the cat or not. He does not know if he wants to play with her or not. He does not know if he is still the mightiest dog in the park or not. + +He looks at his friends. They are still looking at the cat. They are smiling and wagging their tails.

You both win!" + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and thank her. They do not mind sharing the prize. The prize is a mild cookie for each of them.

It has many legs and a long tail. + +"Look, a bug!" Sara says. "Can we touch it?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it will bite us or scare us." + +They go closer to the bug. The bug moves fast and makes a noise. Sara and Tom jump back. + +"Wow, it is loud!" Tom says. "And it is fast!" + +They watch the bug for a while. Then Sara has an idea. + +"Let's catch it in a jar!" she says. "We can show it to mom and dad." + +They find a jar and a lid. They try to catch the bug, but it is not easy. The bug runs away from them. They chase it around the park. + +They finally catch the bug in the jar. They are happy and proud.

I want to be a famous singer," Lily said. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "You have a beautiful voice, Lily. And you have a big heart. If you want to sing, you can sing.

That is not nice." He pulled the car away from Lily and hugged it. + +Lily realized that she was wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Sam. You are right. I was selfish. I have my own toy and I should be happy with it. Can we still be friends and play pretend?" Sam said, "Yes, Lily. I forgive you. We can still be friends and play pretend. But next time, ask me nicely if you want to try my car. And I will ask you nicely if I want to try your doll. OK?" Lily said, "OK, Sam. Thank you. Let's play pretend again. What do you want to be?" Sam said, "How about we both be astronauts and go to the moon?" Lily said, "That sounds fun. Let's go!" They smiled and played with their toys. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big fountain with water and many coins. They wanted to make a wish and throw a coin in the fountain. + +Tom had a coin in his pocket. He took it out and said, "I wish for a new bike." He threw the coin in the water and smiled. + +Lily did not have a coin. She looked at Tom and said, "Can I have a coin too? I want to make a wish." + +Tom said, "No, this is my coin. You cannot have it. Find your own coin." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "That is not fair. You are mean. You are not my friend." She started to cry. + +Tom felt bad. He saw that Lily was crying and he did not like it. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt you. You are my friend. Here, you can have my coin. I have another one at home." + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. You are my friend too." She took the coin and said, "I wish for a new doll." She threw the coin in the water and hugged Tom. + +They both felt happy and played together in the park. They learned that sharing is not difficult and that it makes them and others happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They make tracks on the floor and pretend to be drivers. + +One day, Tom has a new train. It is red and shiny. It has a whistle that makes a loud sound. Tom is very happy with his new train. He shows it to Sam. + +"Look, Sam, this is my new train. It can whistle like this." Tom pushes a button and the train whistles. "Whoo-whoo!" + +Sam is amazed. He likes the whistle. He wants to try it too. He asks Tom, "Can I play with your train, Tom? Can I make it whistle?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes to share, but he also likes his new train. He has an idea. He says to Sam, "You can play with my train, but you have to add something to it. You have to give me one of your trains. Then we can trade." + +Sam thinks for a moment. He has many trains, but he likes them all. He does not want to give any of them away. He has an idea. He says to Tom, "I have a regular train. It is blue and old. It does not whistle, but it can go fast. You can have it, if you let me play with your train." + +Tom looks at the blue train. It is regular, but it is still a train. He likes trains. He agrees to the trade. He says to Sam, "OK, Sam, you can have my train, and I can have your train. We can play together." + +Tom and Sam are happy. They trade their trains and play with them. They make them go fast and slow, and stop and start. They make them whistle and honk. They have fun. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they both liked the same one: a big, soft bear. They wanted to hug the bear and make it talk. + +"Give me the bear, Lily!" Ben said. He pulled the bear from Lily's arms. + +"No, Ben, it's mine!" Lily said. She pulled the bear back from Ben's arms. + +They pulled and pulled, but neither of them let go. The bear was in the middle, and it felt very sad. It did not like to be pulled. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud rip. The bear's arm was torn off by their pulling. The stuffing came out of the hole. Lily and Ben stopped pulling and looked at the bear. They felt very bad. + +"I'm sorry, bear," Lily said. She hugged the bear's body and the torn arm. + +"I'm sorry, too," Ben said. He hugged Lily and the bear. + +They decided to share the bear and take turns playing with it. They also decided to fix the bear's arm with some tape and a bandage. They loved the bear very much, and the bear loved them back. It was their prize toy. + +They played with the bear until they were very tired. Then they put the bear on the couch and snuggled with it. They fell asleep, dreaming of happy adventures with the bear. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They used different colors and shapes of blocks to make their creations original. + +"Look at my tower, Lily!" Ben said. "It is very tall and strong. Do you like it?" + +Lily looked at Ben's tower. It was taller than her, but it was all blue and square. She did not like it very much. She liked her house better. It had red and yellow and green blocks, and it had a door and a window and a roof. + +"I like my house more, Ben," Lily said. "It is more pretty and fun. Do you want to play in it?" + +Ben looked at Lily's house. It was smaller than his tower, but it had more colors and shapes. He thought it looked nice and cozy. He wanted to play in it. + +"Okay, Lily, I accept," Ben said. "Your house is very original. Can I come in?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She moved some blocks to make room for Ben. They crawled inside the house and pretended to have a tea party. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they smelled something bad. They heard a loud noise. They saw smoke and fire. They were scared. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they shouted. "Help!" + +Mommy and Daddy came running. They saw the fire in the kitchen. They grabbed Lily and Ben and ran outside. They called the firemen. + +The firemen came with a big truck and a hose. They sprayed water on the fire and put it out. They checked the kitchen and the living room. They said it was safe to go back in. + +Mommy and Daddy hugged Lily and Ben. They were glad they were okay. They asked them what happened. + +"We were playing with blocks," Lily said. "We made a tower and a house. They were original." + +"We did not touch the fire," Ben said. "It came from the stove. We do not know why." + +Mommy and Daddy looked at the stove. They saw a pot with burnt food. They remembered they left it on by mistake. They felt sorry and silly. + +"We are sorry, kids," Mommy said. "We forgot to turn off the stove. It was our fault. We are very sorry." + +"It is okay, Mommy," Lily said. "We are not hurt. We are happy." + +"We love you, Daddy," Ben said. "We are not mad. We are brave." + +Mommy and Daddy smiled and kissed Lily and Ben. They thanked the firemen. They cleaned up the mess. They threw away the pot and the food. They gave Lily and Ben new blocks. They played with them together. They made new towers and houses and bridges. They made them original. They were careful with the fire. They were happy. +Lily likes to play with her zoom. It is a toy car that can go very fast. She makes it go on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. She likes to hear it go vroom vroom. + +One day, Lily sees a big zoom in the street. It is red and shiny. It has four doors and four wheels. Lily wants to play with it. She runs to the street and tries to grab the zoom. + +But the zoom is not a toy. It is a real car. It has a driver inside. He sees Lily and stops the zoom. He is angry and scared. He says, "What are you doing, little girl? You could get hurt. This is not a toy. This is a car. You should not grab it. You should stay away from the street." + +Lily is sad and sorry. She did not know the zoom was a car. She did not want to make the driver angry. She did not want to get hurt. She says, "I'm sorry, mister. I like zooms. I have a toy zoom at home. It is very fun. But I did not know this zoom was not a toy. I will not grab it again. I will stay away from the street." + +The driver is not angry anymore. He is glad that Lily is safe. He says, "It's okay, little girl. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I was worried about you. Zooms are fun, but they can be dangerous. You have to be careful. You have to listen to your parents. They will tell you what is safe and what is not. You are a clever girl. You can learn from your mistake. Now, go back to your home and play with your toy zoom. And remember, never run to the street again." + +Lily nods and smiles. She says, "Thank you, mister. I will remember. I will be careful. I will listen to my parents. I will play with my toy zoom at home. And I will never run to the street again." She runs back to her home and hugs her toy zoom. She is happy and proud. She is a clever girl. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to play hide and seek. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs to a big tree and hides behind it. He thinks Anna will not find him there. + +Anna counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the park and tries to find Ben. She sees a swing, a slide, a sandbox, but no Ben. She walks to the big tree and says, "Ben, are you here?" + +Ben does not answer. He wants to stay hidden. He thinks it is fun to make Anna look for him. He smiles and stays quiet. + +Anna hears a noise behind the tree. She thinks it is Ben. She runs to the other side of the tree and says, "I found you, Ben!" + +But it is not Ben. It is a big dog. The dog barks at Anna and shows its teeth. Anna is scared. She screams and runs away. + +Ben hears Anna scream. He comes out from behind the tree and sees the dog. He is scared too. He runs to Anna and hugs her. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I did not know there was a dog. Are you okay?" + +Anna is still shaking. She says, "I'm okay, Ben. But that was not nice. You should not hide from me when I call you. That is the order. You have to answer me. This is a serious game. We have to be careful." + +Ben feels bad. He says, "You are right, Anna. I'm sorry. I will not hide from you again. I will answer you. I want to play with you. You are my friend." + +Anna smiles. She says, "You are my friend too, Ben. Let's play something else. How about tag?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Okay, Anna. Let's play tag. You are it!" + +They run and laugh and play tag. They forget about the dog and the tree. They have fun in the park. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a folder with many pictures of animals and flowers. They liked to look at the pictures and say their names. + +One day, they found a shovel and a bucket. They decided to dig a hole in the ground. They thought it would be fun to bury the folder in the hole and then dig it up later. + +They dug a big hole and put the folder inside. They covered it with dirt and patted it down. They were very happy and ran to get some juice. + +But they did not see the dog. The dog smelled the folder in the hole. He liked to chew on paper. He dug up the folder and took it to his bed. He bit and tore the folder and the pictures. He made a big mess. + +When Sam and Lily came back, they saw the hole was empty. They looked for the folder. They found it in the dog's bed. It was broken and dirty. They were very sad and angry. They cried and yelled at the dog. The dog did not understand. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He thought they wanted to play. But they did not want to play. They wanted their folder back. But it was too late. The folder was gone. The end. +Lily was afraid of the barber. She did not like the sound of the scissors or the smell of the spray. She did not want to sit on the big chair and let the barber cut her hair. She wanted to keep her long, curly hair. + +But her mom said she had to go. She said it was time for a haircut and that the barber was very nice and gentle. She said Lily would look pretty and neat after the haircut. She said Lily could choose a sticker or a candy when she was done. + +Lily and her mom walked to the barber shop. Lily saw a sign with a picture of scissors and a comb. She saw a window with a red and white pole. She saw some people sitting on chairs and some people standing behind them with scissors and combs. She saw an elderly man with white hair and a big smile. He was the barber. + +"Hello, hello!" he said. "Welcome to my barber shop. Who is this lovely little girl?" + +"This is Lily," her mom said. "She is here for her first haircut." + +"First haircut? How exciting!" the barber said. "Don't worry, Lily. I will be very careful and gentle. You will have a nice haircut and a fun time. Come, sit on this chair. It can go up and down. Do you want to try?" + +Lily did not want to try. She did not want to sit on the chair. She did not want to have a haircut. She clung to her mom and trembled. She felt tears in her eyes. + +"Mom, I don't want to go," she whispered. "I'm scared." + +Her mom hugged her and kissed her. She spoke softly to her. + +"Lily, I know you're scared. But the barber is very nice and gentle. He will not hurt you or make you cry. He will just cut a little bit of your hair. It will not change who you are. You will still be my beautiful, smart, brave Lily. And I will be right here with you. I will hold your hand and talk to you. It will be over soon. And then you can choose a sticker or a candy. Do you think you can try?" + +Lily looked at her mom. She looked at the barber. He smiled and nodded. He held a pair of scissors and a comb. He looked friendly and kind. He did not look scary. + +Lily took a deep breath. She nodded. She let go of her mom and walked to the chair. She sat on it and let the barber put a cape around her. She felt the chair go up. She saw herself in the mirror. She saw her mom behind her. She saw the barber beside her. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" the barber asked. + +Lily nodded again. She held her mom's hand. She closed her eyes. + +The barber began to cut her hair. He talked to her and made her laugh. He told her stories and jokes. He praised her for being so good and brave. He showed her how much hair he cut and how pretty she looked. He sprayed some water and combed her hair. He trimmed her bangs and her ends. He gave her a mirror and asked her if she liked it. + +Lily opened her eyes. She looked at the mirror. She saw her hair. It was shorter and neater. It still had curls and shine. It still looked like her hair. She smiled. + +"I like it," she said. "Thank you, barber." + +"You're very welcome, Lily," the barber said. "You did a great job. You were very good and brave. You have a beautiful haircut. And now you can choose a sticker or a candy. What do you want?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She decided she wanted both. She asked the barber if she could have both. + +The barber laughed. He said yes, she could have both. He gave her a sticker and a candy. He said she was a special girl. He said he hoped to see her again. + +Lily thanked him again. She hugged her mom. She showed her the sticker and the candy. She said she was happy. She said she was not afraid of the barber anymore. She said she liked her haircut. + +Her mom smiled. She said she was proud of her. She said she loved her. She said she looked beautiful. + +They left the barber shop. They walked home. Lily felt good. She felt brave. She felt pretty. She felt like Lily. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with toys, sometimes they play with books, sometimes they play with pillows. One day, they decide to play with the armchair. + +The armchair is big and soft. It has four legs and a back. Lily and Ben climb on the armchair and pretend it is a boat. They sail on the sea and see fish and birds. They sing songs and laugh. + +"Look, Ben, I can bend my leg like this!" Lily says. She is flexible. She can twist and stretch her body in many ways. She shows Ben how she can touch her toes and make a bridge. + +"Wow, Lily, you are so good!" Ben says. He tries to bend his leg like Lily, but he cannot. He is not flexible. He can only bend his leg a little bit. He feels sad. + +"Don't be sad, Ben. You can do other things that I can't do. You can run fast and jump high. You can draw pictures and write words. You are smart and strong," Lily says. She hugs Ben and makes him smile. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are kind and sweet. You are my best friend," Ben says. He hugs Lily back and feels happy. + +They play on the armchair for a long time. Then they hear their mom call them. + +"Lily and Ben, it's time to bathe. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash up," mom says. + +Lily and Ben jump off the armchair and run to the bathroom. They bathe with soap and water. They scrub their hair and skin. They splash and giggle. They are clean and fresh. + +They put on their pajamas and go back to the living room. They sit on the armchair with mom and dad. They read a story and say good night. They love each other very much. They are happy. +Anna was sick. She had a cough and a fever. Her mom gave her some medicine. It was purple and tasted bad. + +"Mom, I don't like this medicine. It makes me feel yucky," Anna said. + +"I know, sweetie, but you have to take it. It will help you get better," her mom said. "You can have some water and a hug after." + +Anna made a face and swallowed the medicine. She drank some water and cuddled with her mom on the couch. She felt a little better. + +"Can I watch some TV, mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, honey, but only for a little while. Then you need to rest," her mom said. + +Anna nodded and picked up the remote. She turned on her favorite show. It was about a princess and a dragon. The princess had a purple dress and the dragon had purple scales. + +"Look, mom, they are purple like my medicine!" Anna said. + +"Wow, they are! Maybe they took the same medicine as you," her mom said. + +Anna smiled and watched the show. She liked the princess and the dragon. They were friends and had fun adventures. + +One day, she wanted to be like them. She wanted to step into a fairy tale and have a purple friend. But for now, she was happy to watch them on TV and snuggle with her mom. She hoped she would feel better soon. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Tom gets a new toy car. It is shiny and fast. Mia likes it too. She asks Tom if she can play with it. + +"Please, Tom, can I have a turn?" Mia says. + +"OK, but be careful. It is my new car," Tom says. + +He gives the car to Mia. She drives it on the floor. She makes noises like a real car. Vroom, vroom! She is happy. + +But then, she drives the car too fast. It hits the wall. The car breaks. One wheel falls off. Mia is sad. She did not mean to break it. + +"Tom, I'm sorry. I broke your car," Mia says. + +Tom is angry. He takes the car from Mia. He sees the broken wheel. He cries. + +"You are bad, Mia. You broke my new car. I don't want to play with you anymore," Tom says. + +He runs away to his room. He slams the door. Mia feels bad. She wants to say sorry again. She wants to be friends with Tom. + +She thinks of an idea. She goes to her room. She finds some paper and crayons. She draws a picture of Tom and his car. She writes "I'm sorry" and "I love you" on the picture. She puts it in an envelope. She writes "Tom" on the envelope. She goes to the post box. She puts the envelope in the post box. + +The next day, Tom gets the post. He sees the envelope with his name. He opens it. He sees the picture from Mia. He reads the words. He feels a little better. He thinks Mia is sorry. He thinks Mia is still his friend. + +He goes to Mia's house. He knocks on the door. Mia opens the door. She sees Tom. She smiles. + +"Hi, Tom. I got your post. Thank you for the picture. It is very nice," Mia says. + +"Hi, Mia. I'm sorry I was angry. I know you did not mean to break my car. It was an accident," Tom says. + +He shows Mia his car. He fixed the wheel with some glue. It is not shiny and fast anymore. It is dull and slow. But he still likes it. + +"Can we play with it together?" Tom says. + +"Yes, we can. And we can draw more pictures too," Mia says. + +They hug. They are friends again. They forgive each other. They go to play. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide on the big slide and swing on the swings. They see a big puddle near the sandbox. They want to jump in the puddle and make a splash. + +"Can we jump in the puddle, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, let's jump in the puddle, Ben!" Anna says. + +They run to the puddle and jump in. They laugh and splash each other. They get very wet and muddy. They have a lot of fun. + +But then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is looking for them. + +"Anna! Ben! Where are you?" Mom calls. + +They see Mom coming. They get scared. They know Mom will be mad. They have to solve their problem. + +"Quick, Ben, hide behind the tree!" Anna says. + +"OK, Anna, you hide behind the bush!" Ben says. + +They run and hide. They hope Mom will not see them. + +But Mom is smart. She sees their wet and muddy footprints. She follows them to the tree and the bush. She finds them. + +"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" Mom says. "You are wet and muddy! You need a bath!" + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben say. "We were just playing in the puddle." + +Mom is not happy. But she is not too mad. She loves them. She gives them a hug. + +"Come on, you two," Mom says. "Let's go home and get you clean. You can play in the puddle another day. But next time, ask me first." + +Anna and Ben nod. They hold Mom's hand. They walk home. Anna puts her head on Mom's shoulder. Ben does the same. They are wet and muddy. But they are happy. They had a good day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand with their shovels and buckets. They made castles and tunnels and holes. + +One day, they found something shiny in the sand. It was a small ring. It was yellow and bright. It looked like gold. + +"Wow, look what I found!" Ben said, holding the ring. + +"Let me see!" Lily said, reaching for it. + +They looked at the ring together. It was hard and smooth. It had a pretty stone on it. It sparkled in the sun. + +"Maybe it belongs to a princess," Lily said. + +"Or a pirate," Ben said. + +They wondered how the ring got there. Maybe someone lost it. Maybe someone buried it. Maybe it was a surprise for them. + +They decided to keep the ring. They put it in their bucket. They were very happy. They had found a treasure in the park. +Anna and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a big fountain with water and lights. They wanted to play in the fountain, but their mom said no. + +"Why not?" Anna asked. + +"Because the fountain is dirty. It has germs and dirt and trash in it. You will get sick if you touch it," their mom said. + +Anna and Ben did not listen. They ran to the fountain and jumped in. They splashed and laughed and had fun. Their mom was angry. She shouted at them to come out. + +Anna and Ben did not come out. They kept playing in the fountain. They did not see the big sign that said "Danger. High Voltage. Do Not Enter." + +Suddenly, there was a loud noise and a bright flash. The fountain had electricity in it. Anna and Ben got shocked. They screamed and fell down. They did not move. + +Their mom ran to them. She was scared and sad. She tried to help them, but it was too late. Anna and Ben were gone. They had died. + +The end. +Lily and Ben love to play heroes. They wear capes and masks and run around the park. They pretend to save people and animals from danger. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they see a little kitten stuck in a tree. The kitten is scared and meows loudly. Lily and Ben want to help the kitten. They look for a ladder or a rope, but they cannot find anything. + +"Who will save the kitten?" Lily asks. + +"I will!" Ben says. "I am a hero. I can climb the tree." + +Ben runs to the tree and starts to climb. He is brave and strong. He reaches the kitten and picks it up. He holds it gently and climbs down. The kitten is happy and purrs. + +"Wow, Ben, you are a hero!" Lily says. "You saved the kitten!" + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a hero too. You helped me look for a way to save the kitten." Ben says. + +They hug and smile. They give the kitten some water and food. The kitten is beautiful and soft. They play with the kitten and make it feel safe. They are happy and proud. They are heroes. +Ben and Lily were twins who loved cookies. They knew Mom had baked some yummy cookies for them, but they had to wait until after dinner to eat them. Mom put the cookies in a big jar on the kitchen counter and told them not to touch them. + +But Ben and Lily were very curious and hungry. They wanted to see the cookies and smell them and maybe taste them. So when Mom went to the living room to watch TV, they tiptoed to the kitchen and climbed on a chair. They reached for the jar and tried to open it. + +The jar was very heavy and tight. Ben and Lily pulled and twisted and pushed, but they could not open it. They used all their strength, but it was no use. They were about to give up, when they heard Mom's voice. + +"Ben, Lily, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Mom asked. + +Ben and Lily froze. They knew they were in trouble. They quickly put the jar back on the counter and jumped off the chair. They pretended to be innocent and smiled at Mom. + +"Nothing, Mom, we were just peeking at the cookies," Ben said. + +"Yeah, we were just peeking, we didn't touch them," Lily said. + +Mom looked at them with a stern face. She saw the chair, the jar, and the crumbs on their hands and mouths. She knew they were lying. + +"Ben, Lily, you know you are not supposed to peek at the cookies before dinner. You have to wait and share with everyone. And you know you are not supposed to lie to me. That is very naughty. You have to say sorry and go to your room," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily felt ashamed and sad. They knew Mom was right. They said sorry and went to their room. They wished they had listened to Mom and waited for the cookies. They learned their lesson. They decided to be good and honest from now on. They hoped Mom would still give them some cookies later. They loved Mom and they loved cookies. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was the fireplace. They liked to watch the fire and feel the warmth. Sometimes, they pretended to be explorers or pirates or superheroes near the fireplace. + +One day, their mom told them to be careful and not go too close to the fire. She said it was very hot and could hurt them. She said she had to go to the kitchen for a while and asked them to listen to her. Lily and Tom said yes, but they did not really mean it. + +As soon as their mom left, they started to play near the fireplace again. They wanted to see who could get closer to the fire without being scared. Lily said, "I can touch the fire and not feel anything. Watch me!" She reached out her hand to the fire, but she did not know that the fire was not flat. It was round and moved in different ways. She touched a part of the fire that was higher than the rest and felt a sharp pain. She screamed and pulled back her hand. It was red and swollen. + +Tom heard her scream and ran to her. He saw her hand and felt sorry for her. He said, "Lily, are you okay? You should not have done that. Mom told us to be careful. The fire is not a toy. It is dangerous." He hugged her and tried to comfort her. + +Lily cried and said, "I know, I know. I was silly and did not listen. I wanted to be successful and brave, but I was foolish and hurt myself. I am sorry, Tom. I am sorry, mom." She wished she had listened to her mom and not played with the fire. + +Their mom heard them and came back to the living room. She saw Lily's hand and was worried. She said, "Oh, Lily, what happened? Did you touch the fire?" She took her hand and put some cream on it. She said, "You are very lucky. It is not a bad burn, but it could have been worse. You need to be more careful and obey me. The fire is not a friend. It can keep us warm, but it can also harm us. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I am sorry. I learned my lesson. I will not play with the fire again. I will listen to you and be safe." She looked at Tom and said, "Thank you, Tom, for being nice to me. You are a good brother. You are successful and brave, but also smart and kind." + +Tom smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister. You are successful and brave, too, but you need to be careful and wise. I love you, Lily." + +Their mom smiled and said, "I love you both, Lily and Tom. You are my precious twins. You make me proud. But please, stay away from the fire. It is not a game. It is a serious thing." + +Lily and Tom hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom. We will stay away from the fire. We will be good and happy." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the children to respect the fire and listen to their parents. It also shows the importance of being careful, wise, and kind. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around. + +"Look, Sara, I can display my car on the table. It is very fast and shiny," Ben says, showing his car to Sara. + +"That is nice, Ben, but I can display my doll on the sofa. She is very pretty and soft," Sara says, putting her doll on the sofa. + +They both admire their toys and smile at each other. Then they hear a tap on the window. They turn around and see a bird outside. The bird is brown and white and has a red beak. It is pecking at the glass with its beak. + +"Wow, Sara, look at the bird. It is trying to say hello to us," Ben says, pointing at the window. + +"Hello, bird. Do you want to play with us?" Sara says, waving at the bird. + +The bird flaps its wings and makes a chirping sound. It looks curious and friendly. Sara and Ben run to the door and open it. They invite the bird to come inside. The bird hops into the living room and lands on the floor. It walks around and looks at the toys. + +"Here, bird, you can play with my car. It is very fast and shiny," Ben says, pushing his car towards the bird. + +"Or you can play with my doll. She is very pretty and soft," Sara says, holding her doll out to the bird. + +The bird looks at both toys and then picks up the doll with its beak. It flies to the sofa and cuddles with the doll. It makes a happy sound and closes its eyes. + +"I think the bird likes your doll, Sara. It is very warm and cozy on the sofa," Ben says, smiling. + +"Yes, Ben, I think so too. The bird is very cute and nice. We can be friends with the bird," Sara says, smiling. + +They both sit on the sofa and watch the bird and the doll. They feel happy and warm too. They have a new friend. +Lily was miserable. She had a cold and she could not go out and play with her friends. She stayed in bed and read her books, but she was bored and lonely. She sneezed a lot and her nose was red and sore. + +Her mom came in with a tray of soup and crackers. She smiled and kissed Lily's forehead. "How are you feeling, my sweetie?" she asked. + +Lily sniffled and coughed. "Not good, mom. I want to go out and play. I miss my friends. And I hate sneezing. It hurts." + +Mom hugged Lily and stroked her hair. "I know, honey. I'm sorry you're sick. But you have to rest and drink lots of water. The sneezing will go away soon. And your friends will be here to visit you tomorrow. They are worried about you too, you know." + +Lily looked up at her mom with hopeful eyes. "Really? They are coming to see me?" + +Mom nodded and smiled. "Yes, they are. They made you some cards and drawings. They want you to get well soon. They love you, Lily. And so do I." + +Lily felt a little better. She smiled and hugged her mom back. "I love you too, mom. Thank you for taking care of me. And thank you for the soup. It smells good." + +Mom kissed Lily again and gave her the tray. "You're welcome, my darling. Enjoy your soup. And don't worry. You'll be better in no time." +Lily loves ponies. She has a purple pony toy that she plays with every day. She likes to brush its hair and make it run and jump. She wishes she could have a real pony. + +One day, her mom takes her to a farm. There are many animals there, but Lily only wants to see the ponies. She sees a big brown pony and a small white pony. She wants to pet them, but they are too far away. She sees a fence that keeps the ponies inside. She thinks she can climb over the fence and get closer to the ponies. + +She asks her mom, "Can I go to the ponies, please?" + +Her mom says, "No, Lily, you have to stay with me. The fence is not for climbing. It is to keep the ponies safe. They might get scared if you go too close." + +But Lily does not listen. She waits until her mom is talking to a farmer. She runs to the fence and tries to climb over it. She puts one foot on the fence and reaches for the other side. But the fence is slippery and wobbly. She loses her balance and falls down. She lands on the ground with a thud. She hurts her knee and starts to cry. + +The ponies hear her cry and come closer. They look at her with their big eyes and snort. They are curious and friendly. They nuzzle her with their noses and lick her with their tongues. They make her feel better. + +Her mom hears her cry and comes running. She sees Lily on the ground with the ponies. She is angry and worried. She says, "Lily, what did you do? You could have hurt yourself or the ponies. You have to listen to me. You have to be careful." + +Lily says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to pet the ponies. They are so nice. They helped me." + +Her mom says, "I know you love ponies, but you have to respect them and their space. They are not toys. They are living creatures. You have to ask before you touch them. And you have to follow the rules of the farm. Do you understand?" + +Lily says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. Can I say goodbye to the ponies?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, you can. But only if you are gentle and polite. And then we have to go home." + +Lily says, "Okay, mom. Thank you." + +She hugs her mom and then goes to the ponies. She says, "Goodbye, ponies. Thank you for being nice to me. I hope to see you again." + +The ponies say, "Goodbye, Lily. You are welcome. We hope to see you again too." + +Lily smiles and waves to the ponies. She holds her mom's hand and walks to the car. She still loves ponies, but she knows she has to be careful and respectful. She thinks of her purple pony toy at home. She can't wait to play with it again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They found a lemon on the counter and decided to use it for their dish. + +"Let's snap the lemon in half and squeeze it," Ben said. He took a knife and cut the lemon. He gave one half to Lily and kept the other. + +Lily squeezed the lemon over a bowl. She saw the juice come out. She wondered how it tasted. She licked her fingers and made a funny face. + +"Yuck! The lemon is sour, not yummy!" she said. She did not like the lemon at all. + +Ben laughed. He squeezed his half of the lemon over a glass of water. He added some sugar and stirred it. + +"Try this, Lily. It's lemonade. It's yummy and sweet," he said. He gave the glass to Lily and watched her sip it. + +Lily smiled. She liked the lemonade. It was yummy and sweet. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good chef. The lemonade is very good," she said. She gave Ben a hug and they drank the lemonade together. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with scissors and paper. They liked to cut shapes and make animals and flowers. Tom cut a big circle and said, "This is a sun. It is yellow and bright." Lily cut a small triangle and said, "This is a hat. It is red and pretty." + +They cut and cut until they had many shapes on the floor. Then Tom saw a picture of a man in a magazine. The man had big muscles and a smile. Tom said, "I want to cut this man. He is strong and handsome." He took the scissors and cut the man out of the magazine. + +Lily saw what Tom did and said, "No, Tom, don't cut the man. He is not yours. He is in the magazine. You have to ask before you cut." She tried to take the scissors from Tom, but he did not let go. They pulled and pulled until the scissors slipped and cut Tom's finger. + +Tom cried out loud. He saw blood on his finger and felt pain. He dropped the scissors and the man. He said, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! It hurts!" Lily felt sorry for Tom. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to hurt you. Let me see your finger." She took Tom's hand and looked at his finger. She said, "You have a cut on your finger. It is not big, but it is ugly. You need a band-aid." + +She ran to get a band-aid from their mom. She came back and put the band-aid on Tom's finger. She said, "There, Tom. It will be better soon. Don't cry. Don't cut things that are not yours. And be careful with scissors. They are sharp and can cut your skin and your muscles." Tom nodded and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I cut the man. He is not strong and handsome. He is ugly and mean. I don't like him." They hugged and said sorry to each other. Then they picked up their shapes and the man and threw them in the trash. They decided to play with something else. +One day, Lily and Ben were playing outside with their water guns. They had a lot of fun spraying each other and making big splashes. But then, Lily saw a little bird on a branch. She thought it would be funny to spray the bird with water and make it wet. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" she said. "Let's spray it!" + +But Ben shook his head. He knew that birds did not like water. He remembered that his mom had told him to be kind to animals and not to hurt them. + +"No, Lily, that's not nice," he said. "The bird will be scared and cold. We should leave it alone." + +Lily did not listen. She aimed her water gun at the bird and pulled the trigger. The water hit the bird and made it fall off the branch. The bird cried and flapped its wings, but it could not fly. + +Lily felt bad. She saw that the bird was hurt and sad. She wished she had listened to Ben. + +"I'm sorry, bird," she said. "I didn't mean to hurt you." + +She ran to get some soap and a towel from her house. She wanted to clean the bird and make it feel better. She gently washed the bird with soap and water, and dried it with the towel. She stroked its feathers and talked to it softly. + +The bird felt better. It looked at Lily with its bright eyes and chirped. It thanked her for being kind and helping it. It spread its wings and flew away. + +Lily smiled. She learned her lesson. She decided to be kind to animals and not to spray them with water. She hugged Ben and said sorry to him too. + +Ben forgave her. He was happy that Lily was kind and that the bird was okay. They went back to playing with their water guns, but only with each other. They had a lot of fun and did not hurt anyone. +Sam likes to play with his horn. His horn is light and shiny. It makes loud sounds when he blows it. Sam likes to make sounds like a car or a train or a lion. + +One day, Sam goes to the park with his mom. He brings his horn with him. He sees other kids playing with balls and bikes and dolls. He wants to play with them. He runs to them and blows his horn. + +But the other kids do not like his horn. They say it is too loud and noisy. They tell him to go away. Sam feels sad and angry. He does not want to play with them anymore. He blows his horn louder and louder. + +His mom hears his horn and comes to him. She sees that he is upset. She hugs him and tells him that she loves him. She says that his horn is special and fun, but not everyone likes the same things. She says that he can play with his horn, but he should be kind and respectful to others. She says that he can find other kids who like his horn, or he can play with other toys with them. + +Sam listens to his mom. He says he is sorry for being loud and rude. He says he wants to make friends. He puts his horn away and looks for other toys. He sees a boy with a truck and a girl with a kite. He asks them if he can play with them. They say yes and smile. Sam feels happy and joins them. He plays with the truck and the kite. He has fun. He still likes his horn, but he also likes other things. He learns to share and take turns. He makes new friends. +Lily was scared of the dark. She always had bad dreams when she slept. She called them nightmares. They made her cry and scream. She did not like nightmares at all. + +One night, she had a very bad nightmare. She dreamed that a big monster was chasing her. It had sharp teeth and claws. It wanted to eat her. She ran and ran, but the monster was faster. She looked for a place to hide, but there was none. She felt very afraid. + +She woke up and saw that it was still dark. She wanted to go to her mom and dad, but they were in another room. She had to cross the hall to get to them. She was afraid that the monster was still there, waiting for her. She did not want to go alone. + +She remembered that she had a friend. His name was Teddy. He was a stuffed bear. He was soft and cuddly. He always slept with her. She hugged him and said, "Teddy, I had a nightmare. Can you help me?" + +Teddy did not talk, but he nodded. He was a brave bear. He loved Lily very much. He said in his mind, "Don't worry, Lily. I will protect you. We can go to your mom and dad together. They will make you feel better." + +Lily and Teddy got out of bed. They held each other tight. They walked to the door. Lily reached for the knob, but it did not turn. She tried again, but it was still stuck. She realized that the door was locked. She did not know how it happened. She felt very scared. She said, "Teddy, the door is locked. We can't get out. What do we do?" + +Teddy did not know either. He looked around the room. He saw a window. He said in his mind, "Maybe we can open the window. Maybe we can call for help. Maybe someone will hear us." + +Lily and Teddy went to the window. They pushed and pulled, but it did not open. It was also locked. They felt very sad. They said, "No one can hear us. No one can help us. We are trapped." + +They did not know that their mom and dad had heard them. They had heard Lily scream in her sleep. They had heard her cry and talk to Teddy. They had heard her try to open the door and the window. They had tried to open the door from the outside, but it was locked too. They did not know how it happened. They felt very worried. They said, "Lily, we are here. We love you. We will get you out. Don't be afraid." + +They called for help. They called the neighbor. He had a key. He came quickly. He unlocked the door. He opened it. He saw Lily and Teddy. They were hugging each other. They were crying. They were happy to see him. They said, "Thank you. Thank you. You saved us." + +He smiled and said, "You're welcome. You're welcome. You are safe now." + +He took them to their mom and dad. They hugged them too. They said, "We love you. We love you. You are brave. You are lucky." + +They kissed them and said, "We love you too. We love you too. You are our precious. You are our lucky." + +They took them to their bed. They tucked them in. They gave them a night light. They sang them a lullaby. They said, "Good night. Good night. Sweet dreams. No more nightmares." + +Lily and Teddy felt warm and cozy. They felt calm and happy. They said, "Good night. Good night. Sweet dreams. No more nightmares." + +They closed their eyes and slept. They did not have any more nightmares. They only had good dreams. They dreamed of rainbows and butterflies. They dreamed of flowers and stars. They dreamed of love and peace. They dreamed of being lucky. +Lily was waiting for her tutor to arrive. She did not like her tutor very much. He was weird. He always made her do hard things with letters and numbers. He also wore funny glasses and a big hat. + +She heard a knock on the door. She hoped it was not her tutor. She hoped it was her friend Sam, who lived next door. She liked Sam. He was fun. He always played with her and made her laugh. + +She ran to the door and opened it. It was her tutor. He smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. Are you ready for our lesson today?" + +Lily frowned and said, "No, I am not. I want to play with Sam. He is here. He is waiting for me." + +She pointed to Sam, who was standing behind her. He waved and said, "Hi, Lily. Hi, tutor." + +The tutor looked at Sam and said, "Oh, I see. Well, maybe we can play a little bit before we start our lesson. What do you like to play?" + +Lily and Sam looked at each other and smiled. They had an idea. They said, "We like to play hide and seek. You can be the seeker. We will hide." + +The tutor nodded and said, "OK, that sounds fun. I will count to ten and then I will look for you. Ready, set, go!" + +Lily and Sam ran away and hid. They hid in the closet, under the bed, behind the sofa. They made sure the tutor could not find them. They giggled and whispered to each other. They thought they were very clever. + +The tutor looked for them. He looked in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the living room. He could not find them. He called their names. He said, "Lily, Sam, where are you? Come out, come out, wherever you are!" + +But Lily and Sam did not come out. They stayed hidden. They thought it was funny. They thought the tutor was silly. They did not want to do their lesson. They just wanted to play. +Jen and Sam liked to eat waffles for breakfast. They liked them with butter and honey or jam. But one day, Mom was in a hurry and she burned the waffles. They were black and dry and smelled bad. + +"Yuck!" Jen said. "I don't want to eat this!" + +"Me neither!" Sam said. "Can we have something else, Mom?" + +Mom looked at the clock and sighed. "I'm sorry, kids. I have to go to work soon. There's no time to make more waffles. You can have some fruit or yogurt instead." + +Jen and Sam were sad. They loved waffles and they were hungry. They took some fruit and yogurt and ate them slowly. They wished they had waffles. + +The next day, Mom had a surprise for them. She had bought a new waffle maker. It was shiny and had a picture of a bear on it. It made waffles that looked like bear paws. + +"Wow!" Jen said. "This is so cool!" + +"Can we try it, Mom?" Sam asked. + +"Of course!" Mom said. "Let's make some waffles for breakfast. You can help me mix the batter and pour it into the waffle maker. Then we can add some butter and honey or jam. How does that sound?" + +Jen and Sam smiled. They were happy. They helped Mom make the waffles. They smelled good and tasted even better. They were soft and sweet and warm. + +"Mmm!" Jen said. "These are the best waffles ever!" + +"Thank you, Mom!" Sam said. "You improved our breakfast!" + +Mom hugged them and kissed them. "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like them. I love you." + +They ate their waffles and enjoyed their breakfast. They forgot about the dry waffles from the day before. They were happy. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls and she gave them names and clothes. She made them a house with a box and some paper. She was very happy. + +But her brother Tom did not like dolls. He liked cars and trucks and planes. He thought dolls were silly and boring. He wanted to play with Anna's box and paper. He said they were his. + +"No, they are mine!" Anna said. "I need them for my dolls. Go away!" + +Tom did not go away. He grabbed the box and paper and ran to his room. Anna was very angry. She followed him and tried to get them back. They shouted and pushed each other. + +Their mother heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the fighting. She was very cross. She took the box and paper and put them on a high shelf. She said they had to share and be nice. + +She also saw a needle on the floor. It was from Anna's sewing kit. She used it to make clothes for her dolls. But it was very sharp and dangerous. It could hurt someone. + +"Who left this needle here?" she asked. "This is very bad. You could have stepped on it or poked yourself. You have to be more tidy and careful." + +Anna felt sorry. She said it was hers. She said she forgot to put it away. She said she was sorry. + +Mother said she was glad Anna was sorry. But she said she had to prevent it from happening again. She said she would keep the needle in a safe place until Anna was older. She said Anna could still make clothes for her dolls, but she had to use scissors and glue instead. + +Anna nodded. She said she understood. She said she would be more tidy and careful. She said she loved her mother. + +Mother smiled. She said she loved Anna too. She said she loved Tom too, even when he was naughty. She said they were a family and they had to get along. + +She gave them both a hug and a kiss. She said they could play with the box and paper together, if they wanted. She said they could also play with their own toys, if they preferred. She said they could have fun, as long as they were safe and kind. + +Anna and Tom looked at each other. They said they were sorry too. They said they would share and be nice. They said they loved their mother and each other. + +They decided to play with the box and paper together. They made a big castle with towers and flags. They used their dolls and cars and trucks and planes. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Ben and Lily are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses with the blocks. They also like to knock them down and make loud noises. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Ben says, showing his blocks to his sister. + +"Wow, Ben, that's very good!" Lily says. "Can I help you make it bigger?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can help me. But be careful, don't make it fall!" Ben says. + +They add more blocks to the tower, making it taller and taller. They are having fun. + +But then, Tom comes in. Tom is their big brother. He is bored and wants to play with them. He sees their tower and thinks it is funny. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom asks. + +"We are making a tower, Tom. It's very big!" Lily says. + +"Yeah, it's very big. But can it pass the test?" Tom says. + +"What test, Tom?" Ben asks. + +"The test of strength!" Tom says. He pushes the tower with his hand, trying to make it fall. + +"Tom, no, stop!" Ben and Lily shout. They try to stop him, but he is too strong. + +The tower wobbles and shakes. Some blocks fall off. But the tower does not fall. It stays up. + +"Wow, your tower is very strong!" Tom says. He is surprised and impressed. + +"See, Tom, we made a successful tower!" Ben says. He is proud and happy. + +"Sorry, Ben, Lily, I was just joking. Your tower is very good. Can I play with you?" Tom says. He is sorry and nice. + +"OK, Tom, you can play with us. But don't remove our blocks!" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, I won't remove your blocks. I will help you make it bigger!" Tom says. + +They all play with the blocks. They make the tower bigger and bigger. They are having fun. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy pirate ship in the garden. They liked to pretend they were brave pirates sailing on the sea. They had a big map that showed them where to find treasure. + +"Look, Tom, the map says we have to twist this knob to open the secret door," Lily said, pointing to a small round thing on the ship. + +"Let me try, let me try," Tom said, reaching for the knob. He twisted it hard and heard a click. The door opened and they saw a shiny chest inside. + +"Wow, we found the treasure!" Lily exclaimed, opening the chest. It was full of gold coins, jewels and pearls. They took some out and put them in their pockets. + +"We are the best pirates ever!" Tom said, holding up a coin. "We are so happy!" + +They heard a loud bark and turned around. It was their dog, Spot, who had followed them to the garden. He saw the treasure and ran towards it, wagging his tail. + +"Spot, no, that's our treasure!" Lily shouted, trying to stop him. But it was too late. Spot jumped on the chest and knocked it over. The coins, jewels and pearls spilled out and rolled all over the grass. + +"Spot, you silly dog, you ruined our game!" Tom said, frowning. He tried to pick up the treasure, but Spot thought it was a fun game and chased after them. + +Lily and Tom laughed and ran away from Spot. They decided to share the treasure with him, because he was their friend. They played with the treasure and the dog until it was time to go inside. They had a lot of fun being pirates. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big tent that their dad gave them. They put the tent in the backyard and pretended it was their castle. + +One day, a new boy named Ben moved in next door. He saw Tim and Sam playing in the tent and wanted to join them. He knocked on the tent and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Can I play with you?" + +Tim and Sam looked at each other and frowned. They did not want to share their tent with anyone. They said, "No, this is our tent. You can't play with us. Go away." + +Ben felt sad and walked away. He did not have any toys or friends in his new home. He wished he could play with Tim and Sam. + +The next day, it rained a lot. The water flooded the backyard and the tent. Tim and Sam ran outside and tried to save their tent, but it was too late. The tent was wet and dirty and ripped. They cried and said, "Oh no, our tent is ruined. What will we do?" + +Ben saw them from his window and felt sorry for them. He put on his raincoat and boots and went outside. He said, "Hi, Tim and Sam. I'm sorry about your tent. Do you want to come to my house and play? I have some books and games we can share." + +Tim and Sam looked at Ben and felt ashamed. They had been mean to him, but he was kind to them. They said, "Thank you, Ben. We're sorry we were rude to you. Can we be your friends?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Of course. Come on, let's go inside and have some fun." + +Tim and Sam learned a lesson that day. They learned that it is better to share and be humble than to keep and be selfish. They also learned that a good friend is more valuable than a tent. +Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play with their toy vehicles. They had cars, trucks, buses, and trains that they could push around and make noises with. They also had a big box that they pretended was a garage for their vehicles. + +One day, their mom told them to behave and share their toys, because she had to go to the store and would be back soon. She said they could watch a show on the TV, but only one episode. She gave them a hug and a kiss and left. + +Mia and Leo watched the show, but they did not behave. They started to fight over who got to choose the next show. Mia wanted to watch a show about compassionate animals who helped each other, but Leo wanted to watch a show about fast and loud vehicles who raced and crashed. They yelled and pulled the remote from each other, and did not listen to the TV when it said the show was over. + +They were so busy fighting that they did not hear the door open. It was their mom, and she was very angry. She saw the mess they had made with their toys, and the TV still on. She scolded them and took away their vehicles and the remote. She said they had to go to their room and think about what they had done. + +Mia and Leo cried and said they were sorry, but it was too late. They had to go to their room without their vehicles or their show. They felt sad and wished they had behaved and shared. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Mia and Ben liked to play in the farm with the animals. They liked the cows, the pigs, the chickens and the dog. But they did not like the mule. The mule was big and mean. He kicked and bit and made loud noises. He scared Mia and Ben. + +One day, Mia and Ben saw a new animal in the farm. It was a lion. The lion was powerful and beautiful. He had a big mane and sharp teeth. He looked at Mia and Ben and smiled. Mia and Ben smiled back. They wanted to be friends with the lion. + +They went to the lion and said hello. The lion said hello too. He was nice and gentle. He let Mia and Ben pet him and play with him. They had fun with the lion. They forgot about the mule. + +But the mule did not forget about them. He saw Mia and Ben with the lion and he was angry. He was jealous and mean. He wanted to hurt Mia and Ben and the lion. He ran to them and tried to kick them. + +But the lion was faster and stronger. He saw the mule and he roared. He roared so loud that the mule stopped and shook. He roared so loud that the cows, the pigs, the chickens and the dog ran away. He roared so loud that Mia and Ben felt safe and happy. + +The mule was scared and sorry. He ran away and hid. He never bothered Mia and Ben and the lion again. Mia and Ben and the lion became good friends. They played in the farm every day. They liked the lion. The lion liked them. They were happy. +A child had long hair that she liked very much. She liked to brush it and make it shiny and soft. But one day, she saw a girl who had no hair at all. The girl was sick and had to take medicine that made her hair fall out. The child felt sad for the girl and wanted to help her. + +She went to her mom and said, "Mom, can I give some of my hair to the girl who has none? She looks so cold and lonely." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "That is very kind of you, my dear. But you know, hair is not the only thing that can make someone happy. You can also give her your smile, your hug, and your friendship. Those are more precious than hair." + +The child nodded and blinked. She understood what her mom meant. She decided to do both. She asked her mom to cut some of her hair and make a wig for the girl. Then she went to the girl and gave her the wig and a big smile. She said, "Hi, I'm Anna. I want to be your friend. Do you like my hair? You can have some of it. It will keep you warm and pretty." + +The girl was surprised and happy. She put on the wig and smiled back. She said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very nice. I like your hair. And I like you more. You are a good friend. My name is Lily." + +Anna and Lily hugged and played together. They became best friends. They learned that sharing and caring are more important than having long hair. They also learned that happiness can grow from kindness. +Lily was going to a party with her dad. She wanted to look nice, so she put on a pretty dress and a bow in her hair. Her dad also wanted to look nice, so he put on a shirt and a jacket. But he had a problem. He did not know how to make a tie. + +"Dad, what are you doing?" Lily asked. + +"I'm trying to make a tie, but it's hard. I don't remember how to do it," her dad said. + +Lily looked at the tie. It was blue and had stripes. She recognized it. It was the same tie that her grandpa gave her dad for his birthday. + +"Can I help you, dad?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. Do you know how to make a tie?" her dad asked. + +Lily nodded. She remembered how her grandpa showed her and her dad how to make a tie. He said it was like making a knot, but with a twist. + +"First, you put the tie around your neck. Then, you cross the long end over the short end. Then, you pull the long end under the short end. Then, you pull the long end over the short end again. Then, you make a loop with the long end and push it through the hole. Then, you pull the loop tight and adjust the tie. See, dad? It's easy!" Lily said. + +She showed her dad how to make a tie with her hands. Her dad followed her instructions and made a tie. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled. + +"Wow, Lily, you're amazing! You made a tie better than me! Thank you, sweetie. You're very kind and smart," her dad said. + +He hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. Lily hugged him back and smiled. + +"You're welcome, dad. I love you. And I love grandpa's tie. It's very nice," Lily said. + +They both looked at each other and laughed. They were ready to go to the party. They grabbed their coats and went out the door. They had a lot of fun at the party. Everyone said they looked very nice. Lily and her dad were very happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the woods. They liked to find sticks and stones and make things with them. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to make a house under the tree. + +"Let's go there!" Tom said. He ran to the tree and looked for a good spot. Lily followed him. She saw something shiny on the ground. It was an axe. Someone had left it there. + +"Look, Tom, an axe!" Lily said. She picked it up and swung it. It was heavy and hard to hold. "We can use it to cut the tree and make our house!" + +Tom was scared. He knew that axes were not for children. They were for grown-ups who knew how to use them. He hoped that Lily would not hurt herself or the tree. + +"No, Lily, put it down!" Tom said. He ran to her and tried to take the axe from her. "Axes are dangerous! We can't cut the tree! It's not ours!" + +Lily did not listen. She wanted to cut the tree. She pulled the axe away from Tom and raised it. She was about to hit the tree when they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing with my axe?" It was a man. He was the owner of the axe and the tree. He was not happy. He came out of his cabin and walked to them. He looked angry. + +Tom and Lily were afraid. They dropped the axe and ran away. They did not want to get in trouble. They hoped that the man would not follow them. + +They ran back to their home and told their mom what happened. She was not cheerful. She was mad. She said that they should not play with axes or other people's things. She said that they should say sorry to the man and the tree. + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They knew that they did wrong. They said sorry to their mom and hugged her. They hoped that she would forgive them. They also hoped that the man and the tree would forgive them. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with safer things next time. +Tommy loved to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he ate, when he brushed his teeth. He whistled all the time. His mommy and daddy liked his whistling, but sometimes they asked him to stop. They said it was too loud or too late or too much. + +One night, Tommy was in his bed, looking at the stars. He wondered what was beyond the stars. He had heard his daddy say the word "universe". He did not know what it meant, but he liked how it sounded. He tried to whistle it. He whistled softly at first, then louder and louder. He whistled "universe, universe, universe". + +His mommy heard him from the other room. She came to his door and knocked. "Tommy, what are you doing?" she asked. "It's time to sleep. You can't whistle now." + +Tommy stopped whistling. He felt guilty. He knew he had broken the rule. He looked at his mommy with big eyes. He said, "I'm sorry, mommy. I was whistling the universe. It's a big word. I wanted to see if I could whistle it." + +His mommy smiled. She hugged him and kissed him. She said, "I understand, Tommy. You are very curious and clever. But the universe can wait until tomorrow. Now you need to rest. Good night, my sweet boy." + +She tucked him in and turned off the light. Tommy closed his eyes and whispered, "Good night, mommy. Good night, universe." He did not whistle anymore. He fell asleep and dreamed of the stars. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, and share their toys and snacks. One day, they found a big puddle near the slide. Lily had an idea. + +"Let's soak each other with water!" she said. "It will be fun!" + +Ben agreed. They took off their shoes and socks, and ran to the puddle. They splashed and laughed, and got very wet. They did not see that a man was walking by with his dog. + +The man was not happy. He did not like water on his clothes and shoes. He did not like his dog to be wet and muddy. He shouted at Lily and Ben. + +"Hey, you two! Stop that! You are making a mess! You are not nice!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They stopped splashing, and ran to get their shoes and socks. They said sorry to the man, but he did not listen. He walked away, grumbling. + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They did not mean to upset the man. They just wanted to have fun. They looked at each other, and hugged. + +"Maybe we should not soak each other with water," Lily said. "Maybe we should find another way to play." + +Ben nodded. He had an idea. + +"Let's tell each other jokes!" he said. "It will be fun!" + +Lily agreed. They put on their shoes and socks, and sat on the bench. They took turns telling jokes, and laughed. They did not need water to have fun. They just needed each other. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful not to hurt or bother others when you play. There are many ways to have fun without making a mess. Jokes are better than water. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was old and gentle. He had gray fur and sad eyes. + +"Can we play with the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. He might be sick or hurt," Tom said. + +They went to the dog and petted him. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy to have friends. + +"Let's play fetch with him. I have a ball," Lily said. She threw the ball and the dog ran after it. + +But then, a mean man came. He was the dog's owner. He shouted at Tom and Lily. + +"Get away from my dog! He is not for you to play with! He is old and useless!" the mean man said. He kicked the dog and grabbed his collar. He dragged the dog away. + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They cried and hugged each other. + +"Why did he do that? The dog was nice and gentle. He liked to play with us," Lily said. + +"I don't know. He is a bad man. He does not love his dog. He does not know how to be kind," Tom said. + +They learned that some people are cruel and selfish. They decided to be good and caring. They hoped the dog would be OK. They wished they could see him again. +Lily and Sam are twins. They like to play in the yard. They see a big truck stop at their house. It is the mail truck. The mail truck brings letters and boxes. + +"Look, Lily, mail!" Sam says. He runs to the truck. He wants to see what is inside. + +"Wait, Sam, be careful!" Lily says. She follows him. She is scared of the truck. It is loud and big. + +The mail truck driver sees Sam and Lily. He smiles. He has a box for them. It is from their grandma. He gets out of the truck. He holds the box. + +"Hello, kids, I have something for you," he says. He gives the box to Sam. "This is from your grandma. She loves you very much." + +Sam holds the box. He is happy. He thanks the driver. He wants to open the box. + +Lily holds Sam's hand. She is happy too. She thanks the driver. She wants to see what is inside the box. + +The driver says goodbye. He gets back in the truck. He drives away. + +Sam and Lily go back to the yard. They sit on the grass. They open the box. Inside the box, there are cookies, books, and toys. They are happy. They hug the box. + +"Thank you, grandma, for the mail," they say. They feel safe and loved. They share the cookies, books, and toys. They have fun. They are good twins. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw on the board. One day, they find a new toy in the toy box. It is a red car that can make sounds and move. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the car and pushes a button. The car makes a loud beep and starts to move on the floor. + +"Cool!" Mia says. She runs after the car and tries to catch it. The car is fast and goes around the room. + +Tom and Mia have fun with the car. They make it go under the table, over the rug, and behind the sofa. They laugh and clap their hands. + +But then, something bad happens. The car goes near the board, where Tom and Mia have drawn some pictures with crayons. The car hits the board and knocks it over. The board falls on the car and stops it. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Mia say. They run to the board and try to lift it. But the board is heavy and hard to move. + +They hear a strange noise. It is the car. It is still making sounds, but they are not happy sounds. They are angry sounds. The car is stuck under the board and it can't move. It is getting hot and angry. + +"Help!" the car says. Tom and Mia are scared. They have never heard a toy talk before. + +They look at the board. They see something on the board. It is a picture of a fire. Tom and Mia have drawn a fire on the board with a red crayon. They have forgotten about it. + +The fire on the board is not real, but the car thinks it is. The car thinks it is in a fire and it is burning. The car is very hot and very angry. + +"Help!" the car says again. It sounds louder and louder. + +Tom and Mia don't know what to do. They want to help the car, but they can't move the board. They are afraid of the car and the fire. + +They look at each other. They have an idea. They point at the door. + +"Let's go!" they say. They run to the door and open it. They run out of the room and close the door behind them. + +They hope the car will calm down and stop making sounds. They hope the board will not catch fire. They hope they can play with the car again, but not near the board. + +They hug each other and breathe. They are safe. They are still friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to drive them on the carpet and make noises. "Vroom, vroom!" Tom said, as he drove his red car. "Beep, beep!" Lily said, as she drove her blue car. + +They decided to drive their cars to the kitchen, where Mom was making lunch. They saw a big bowl of water on the sink. It looked like fun. "Let's drive our cars in the water!" Tom said. "OK!" Lily said. They drove their cars into the bowl and splashed the water. + +But the water was not warm. It was icy. It was very cold. Lily and Tom felt their fingers freeze. They did not like it. They wanted to get their cars out. But the water was too deep. Their cars sank to the bottom. They could not reach them. They started to cry. + +Mom heard their cries and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the wet cars. She was not happy. She took the cars out of the water and dried them with a towel. She gave them back to Lily and Tom. "Why did you drive your cars in the water?" she asked. "It was icy and your cars sank. That was not a good idea." + +Lily and Tom were sorry. They said they were sorry to Mom. They said they were sorry to their cars. They hugged their cars and Mom. Mom hugged them back. She said she loved them. She said they should not drive their cars in the water again. She said they should play with them on the carpet or outside. Lily and Tom agreed. They said they loved Mom. They said they loved their cars. They drove their cars back to the living room and played nicely. +Lily and Mom went to the shop. Lily saw a fancy dress on a doll. It was pink and shiny and had flowers on it. Lily wanted the dress for herself. + +"Mom, look at the dress!" Lily said. "Can I have it, please?" + +Mom looked at the dress and smiled. "It is a very fancy dress, Lily. But it is too big for you. It is for the doll, not for you." + +Lily felt sad. She admired the dress so much. She wished she could wear it and look like a princess. + +"Mom, can I have the doll, then?" Lily asked. "She is so pretty and has a fancy dress." + +Mom looked at the price tag and shook her head. "The doll is too expensive, Lily. We have to save our money for other things. How about we look for something else?" + +Lily nodded. She knew Mom was right. She followed Mom to another part of the shop. There, she saw a book with colorful pictures and stories. Lily liked books. She picked up the book and showed it to Mom. + +"Mom, can I have this book, please?" Lily asked. "It has stories and pictures. I can read it with you." + +Mom looked at the book and smiled. "That is a good choice, Lily. The book is not too expensive and it is good for your mind. You can learn new words and have fun. Yes, you can have the book." + +Lily was happy. She hugged the book and thanked Mom. She did not mind not having the fancy dress or the doll anymore. She had a book that she could admire and enjoy. She and Mom paid for the book and left the shop. Lily could not wait to read the book with Mom at home. +Sara and Tom were very excited to go to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving. They liked to play with their cousins and eat yummy food. Grandma always cooked a big turkey for everyone. + +But when they got to Grandma's house, they saw something new. Grandma had a new dog. His name was Spot and he was very big and loud. He barked at Sara and Tom and chased them around the yard. + +"Grandma, why do you have a new dog?" Sara asked. "He is scary and noisy." + +"Spot is my new friend," Grandma said. "He was lonely at the shelter, so I brought him home. He is very sweet and gentle, once you get to know him." + +"But Grandma, he is ruining our fun," Tom complained. "He won't let us play with our toys or go near the turkey. He thinks everything is his." + +"Tom, don't be rude," Grandma said. "Spot is part of our family now. You have to share and be nice to him. He just wants to have fun too." + +Sara and Tom did not like the new dog. They thought he was mean and greedy. They wished Grandma would send him back to the shelter. They did not want to share their toys or their turkey with him. + +But then something happened. Spot saw a squirrel in the tree and ran after it. He jumped and barked and tried to catch it. But he was too big and clumsy. He tripped over a rock and fell on the ground. He hurt his paw and whimpered. + +Sara and Tom saw Spot lying on the grass. He looked sad and scared. They felt sorry for him. They ran to him and petted him. They told him it was okay and that they would help him. + +"Grandma, Grandma, Spot is hurt," Sara called. "He needs a bandage and a hug." + +Grandma came out with a first aid kit and a blanket. She wrapped Spot's paw and covered him with the blanket. She thanked Sara and Tom for being kind and caring. + +"See, Spot is not so bad," Grandma said. "He is just a big puppy who needs some love and training. He will learn to behave and share. He will be a good dog and a good friend." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They felt bad for complaining about Spot. They realized he was not mean and greedy. He was just new and curious. They decided to give him a chance and be his friends. + +They hugged Spot and gave him some of their toys. They even let him have a bite of their turkey. Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy and grateful. + +They all went inside and sat around the table. They thanked Grandma for the food and the dog. They said they were sorry for being rude and selfish. They said they loved her and Spot. + +Grandma smiled and hugged them. She said she loved them too. She said they were a wonderful family. She said they had a lot to be thankful for. +Lila was a little girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big gray house in the woods. She wanted to see what was inside, so she walked to the door and knocked. But no one answered. + +She tried to open the door, but it was locked. She saw a window that was open a little bit. She thought she could climb in and look around. She pushed a chair to the window and stepped on it. She reached for the window and pulled herself up. + +But as soon as she was inside, she heard a loud growl. She turned around and saw a big, hairy, scary animal. It had sharp teeth and claws, and it looked angry. It was an unknown animal, and it did not like visitors. + +Lila was very afraid. She screamed and ran to the window. She tried to climb out, but the animal was faster. It jumped and grabbed her leg. It pulled her back and bit her hard. + +Lila cried and wished she had never gone into the gray house. She wished she had listened to her mom, who always told her not to go into strange places. She learned a hard lesson that day: curiosity can be dangerous, and some things are better left unknown. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to draw on the ground with chalk. They made big and small shapes, and wrote their names. They also drew a lion, with a yellow body and a brown mane. + +"Look, I made a lion!" Tom said, proud of his drawing. + +"Me too!" Lily said, showing her lion. "But mine is light, like the sun." + +They both smiled at their lions. They liked to pretend they were in the jungle, with the birds and the trees and the animals. + +"Let's roar like lions!" Tom said, and he made a loud noise with his mouth. "Roar!" + +Lily laughed and roared too. "Roar!" + +They roared and roared, having fun. They did not see the man who was walking his dog nearby. The dog heard the roars and got scared. He barked and ran towards Tom and Lily. + +"Whoa, what's that?" Tom said, seeing the dog. + +"It's a dog!" Lily said, scared. "He thinks we are lions!" + +They dropped their chalk and ran away from the dog. The man called his dog and followed them. + +"Sorry, kids, he's just playful!" the man said. "He won't hurt you!" + +Tom and Lily stopped running and looked at the man and the dog. The dog wagged his tail and licked his nose. + +"He's nice?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, he's nice. He just wanted to play with you." the man said. "What are your names?" + +"I'm Tom, and this is Lily." Tom said. + +"Nice to meet you, Tom and Lily. I'm Sam, and this is Rex." the man said. "Do you want to pet him?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They went closer to Rex and touched his fur. He was soft and warm. + +"He's not a lion, he's a dog." Lily said. + +"Yes, he's a dog. And you're not lions, you're kids." Sam said. + +"But we can roar like lions!" Tom said. + +"Yes, you can. And you can draw like artists!" Sam said, pointing at their chalk drawings. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They liked their drawings, and they liked Rex. They thanked Sam and went back to their chalk. They drew more lions, and Rex watched them. They roared and barked, and had a lot of fun. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is very high and shiny. Sara wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the steps. Ben follows her. + +"Wait for me, Sara!" Ben says. "We can go together!" + +But Sara does not wait. She sits on the slide and pushes herself down. She goes very fast and feels the wind in her hair. She laughs and shouts. Ben is sad. He wanted to slide with Sara. + +He climbs up the steps and sits on the slide. He sees Sara at the bottom. She is smiling and waving. Ben is angry. He slides down and pinches Sara on the arm. + +"Ow!" Sara cries. "That hurts! Why did you pinch me?" + +"Because you did not wait for me!" Ben says. "You are mean!" + +Sara and Ben start to argue. They yell and push each other. They do not hear their mom calling them. She is worried. She walks to the slide and sees them fighting. + +"Stop it, both of you!" she says. "What is going on?" + +Sara and Ben stop and look at their mom. They are quiet. They do not know what to say. They feel bad. They hear the silence in the park. They see the other kids playing and having fun. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Sara says. "We were fighting over the slide." + +"Yeah, we are sorry," Ben says. "We both wanted to go first." + +Mom hugs them and kisses them. She smiles and says, "I understand. The slide is very tempting. But you have to share and take turns. And you have to be kind and gentle. No pinching, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Sara and Ben say. They hug and kiss mom. They hug and kiss each other. They say sorry and make up. They are happy again. + +They go back to the slide. They wait for their turn. They slide together. They hold hands and laugh and shout. They enjoy the high and shiny slide. They have fun in the park. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with cubes. They had many cubes of different colors and sizes. They could make towers, houses, cars and animals with their cubes. + +One day, it was Lily's birthday. She had a big cake and many balloons. She invited Ben and other friends to celebrate with her. She was very happy. She wanted to share her cubes with everyone. + +But Ben was greedy. He saw a big cube that was shiny and sparkly. He wanted it for himself. He did not ask Lily. He took the cube and hid it in his pocket. He thought Lily would not notice. + +But Lily did notice. She looked for her cube everywhere. She asked Ben and other friends if they had seen it. They said no. Lily was sad. She thought she had lost her cube. + +Ben felt guilty. He saw Lily's sad face. He knew he had done something bad. He wanted to say sorry, but he was afraid. He did not know what to do. + +Then he remembered what his mom had told him. She had said, "If you make a mistake, you should admit it and apologize. That is how you show you are sorry and you care. That is how you can make things better." + +Ben took a deep breath. He took out the cube from his pocket. He walked to Lily. He said, "Lily, I have something to tell you. I took your cube. I was greedy. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Here is your cube. You can have it back." + +Lily was surprised. She looked at Ben. She looked at the cube. She smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben, for telling me the truth. I forgive you. You are still my friend. You can play with my cube. We can share it." + +Ben was relieved. He hugged Lily. He said, "Thank you, Lily, for being so kind. You are a good friend. I will not be greedy again. I will share with you." + +They both smiled. They played with the cube and other toys. They had fun. They celebrated Lily's birthday. They learned a lesson. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to observe the bugs and flowers. They saw a furry bee on a yellow flower. Lily wanted to touch it, but Ben said no. + +"Bees can sting you. It will hurt a lot. We can look, but not touch," Ben said. + +Lily nodded. She did not want to get hurt. She liked the bee. It was fuzzy and made a funny sound. She wondered what it was doing on the flower. + +"It is getting nectar. Nectar is sweet. Bees make honey from nectar," Ben explained. + +Lily smiled. She liked honey. She liked to eat it on toast. She wanted to thank the bee for making honey. + +"Can we give the bee something?" she asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea. He ran inside the house and came back with a small piece of soap. He said soap was good for cleaning. + +"Maybe the bee likes soap. It smells nice. We can put it near the flower," he said. + +Lily agreed. She thought soap was pretty. It was white and shiny. She followed Ben to the flower. They put the soap on the ground, close to the bee. + +The bee saw the soap. It was curious. It flew over to the soap. It sniffed it. It did not like it. It was not sweet. It was not food. It was yucky. It flew away. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to make the bee happy. They did not know why the bee did not like the soap. + +"Maybe bees do not like soap. Maybe they only like flowers," Lily said. + +Ben nodded. He picked up the soap. He said they should keep it for later. + +"We can use it to wash our hands. Soap is good for us. It makes us clean and healthy," he said. + +Lily agreed. She said they should go inside and wash their hands. They said goodbye to the flower and the bee. They hoped the bee would find more nectar and make more honey. They liked the bee. They liked the flower. They liked the soap. They liked to observe. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. Lily had a new toy that was a top. It could spin very fast and make pretty colors. Sam wanted to try it, but Lily did not want to share. + +"Please, Lily, can I play with your top?" Sam asked. + +"No, Sam, it is mine. You can play with your own toys," Lily said. + +Sam felt sad and angry. He thought Lily was not a good friend. He decided to take the top when Lily was not looking. He ran away with it and hid behind a tree. + +Lily saw that her top was gone. She looked around and saw Sam with it. She was very mad. She ran after him and shouted, "Give me back my top, Sam! You are a thief!" + +Sam was scared. He tried to spin the top, but it did not work. He did not know how to use it. He dropped it on the ground and it broke. He felt sorry and ashamed. + +Lily reached Sam and saw the broken top. She cried and said, "You broke my top, Sam! It was my favorite toy! How could you do this?" + +Sam said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was impatient and jealous. I wanted to play with your top, but you did not let me. I should have asked you nicely and waited for my turn." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, too, Sam. I was selfish and mean. I should have shared my top with you and taught you how to use it. It was more fun to play together than alone." + +They hugged and said, "We are still friends, right?" + +They nodded and smiled. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be kind and generous, and not to be greedy and sneaky. They also learned to recommend their toys to each other, and to respect and care for them. They went back to their other toys and played happily. +Anna and Ben were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. But then the sky became dark and it started to rain. They ran inside the house and looked out the window. + +"I don't like the rain. It makes everything wet and cold," Anna said. + +"Me neither. I want to play with the ball again," Ben said. + +They felt sad and bored. They wanted the rain to stop. + +They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a bright light. It was lightning. They were scared and hugged each other. + +"Mommy, Daddy, where are you?" Anna cried. + +"Weep, weep, weep," Ben wept. + +Their mommy and daddy came to the room. They saw Anna and Ben crying and hugged them. + +"Don't be afraid, my darlings. The thunder and lightning are just the clouds talking to each other. They will go away soon," Mommy said. + +"Look, there is something beautiful in the sky. Do you see it?" Daddy said. + +He pointed to the window. Anna and Ben looked. They saw a big arc of colors in the sky. It was a rainbow. + +"Wow, a rainbow! It's so pretty!" Anna said. + +"It has many colors. Red, yellow, green, blue, purple. And orange!" Ben said. + +He liked orange. It was his favorite color. + +"Do you know what a rainbow is?" Mommy asked. + +"No, what is it?" Anna and Ben asked. + +"A rainbow is a gift from the sun and the rain. When the sun shines on the raindrops, they make the colors. The colors make us happy and remind us that the rain will end and the sun will come back," Mommy explained. + +"I like the rainbow. It makes me happy too," Anna said. + +"Me too. Can we play with the ball again?" Ben asked. + +"Of course. The rain has stopped. Let's go outside and have fun," Daddy said. + +They put on their coats and shoes and went outside. They played with the ball under the rainbow. They laughed and smiled. They were not sad and bored anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with rocks and pretend they were diamonds. One day, they found a big shiny rock in the park. It looked like a real diamond. + +"Wow, this is so pretty!" Lily said. "Let's sell it and buy candy!" + +Ben nodded. He liked candy too. They took the rock to the store and showed it to the man. + +"Hello, kids. What do you have there?" the man asked. + +"It's a diamond. We want to sell it and buy candy," Lily said. + +The man looked at the rock. He knew it was not a diamond, but he wanted to trick the kids. He smiled and said, "This is a very special diamond. I will give you one dollar for it." + +Lily and Ben were happy. They thought they were rich. They gave the rock to the man and took the dollar. They ran to the candy store and bought some gum. + +The man laughed. He thought he was smart. He took the rock to the jeweler and said, "I have a rare diamond. I want to sell it and buy a car." + +The jeweler looked at the rock. He knew it was not a diamond, but he wanted to trick the man. He smiled and said, "This is a very rare diamond. I will give you ten dollars for it." + +The man was happy. He thought he was richer. He gave the rock to the jeweler and took the ten dollars. He ran to the car dealer and bought a bike. + +The jeweler laughed. He thought he was smarter. He took the rock to the museum and said, "I have a priceless diamond. I want to sell it and buy a house." + +The museum looked at the rock. They knew it was not a diamond, but they wanted to trick the jeweler. They smiled and said, "This is a priceless diamond. We will give you a hundred dollars for it." + +The jeweler was happy. He thought he was richest. He gave the rock to the museum and took the hundred dollars. He ran to the real estate agent and bought a tent. + +The museum laughed. They thought they were smartest. They put the rock in a glass case and said, "This is the most amazing diamond in the world. Come and see it and pay us money." + +But no one came. No one believed them. They realized they had been fooled. They felt silly and sad. + +Lily and Ben saw the rock in the museum. They recognized it. They felt sorry for the museum. They said, "That's not a diamond. That's our rock. We found it in the park. It's just a rock." + +They went to the museum and said, "We want to give you back your money. We don't need candy. We have each other. We are sorry we sold you our rock." + +The museum was surprised. They said, "You are very kind and honest. We are sorry we lied to you. We don't need money. We have learned a lesson. We are sorry we bought your rock." + +They gave the money back to Lily and Ben. They took the rock out of the case. They said, "You can have your rock back. It's yours. It's a beautiful rock. It's more than a rock. It's a symbol of friendship." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They took their rock back. They said, "Thank you. We are happy. We have our rock back. It's more than a rock. It's a symbol of friendship." + +They hugged each other and went back to the park. They played with their rock and pretended it was a diamond. They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and dishonest. Be kind and honest. Friendship is more valuable than money. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and blocks. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a red button and a lot of wires. Tim and Sam were curious. They wanted to see what the box did. + +"Let's press the button!" Tim said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Sam said. + +They pressed the button together. The box made a loud noise and a bright flash. Tim and Sam blinked. They felt a shock in their bodies. They fell to the floor. + +The box was a powerful bomb. It was hidden by a bad man who wanted to hurt people. Tim and Sam did not know that. They just wanted to have fun. But they pressed the button and caused a big explosion. The garage was on fire. The house was on fire. Tim and Sam were on fire. + +Their mom and dad heard the noise and ran to the garage. They saw the fire and the smoke. They saw the box and the wires. They saw Tim and Sam on the floor. They were not moving. They were not breathing. They were gone. + +Their mom and dad cried and screamed. They called for help. But it was too late. Tim and Sam were dead. The bomb had killed them. The result was very sad. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with clay. They had many colors of clay and they wanted to make something fun. Lily rolled a big ball of yellow clay and put it on a paper plate. She said, "I will make a sun!" + +Ben rolled a long snake of green clay and wrapped it around a cone. He said, "I will make a tree!" + +They looked at each other's clay creations and smiled. They were proud of their work. + +Then, they saw a pair of scissors on the table. They wondered what they could do with them. Lily picked up the scissors and said, "I will cut the sun!" + +Ben said, "No, don't cut the sun! The sun is good. It makes us warm and happy." + +Lily said, "But I want to cut the sun. It will look funny." + +She snipped the scissors and cut a piece of the yellow clay ball. She laughed and said, "Look, now the sun has a mouth!" + +Ben was confused. He did not think the sun looked funny. He thought the sun looked sad. He said, "Lily, why did you cut the sun? The sun is not happy. The sun is crying." + +Lily looked at the sun and saw that it had a frown. She felt sorry for the sun. She said, "Oh, I did not mean to make the sun cry. I wanted to make the sun happy." + +She took the piece of clay that she cut and put it back on the sun. She pressed it hard and said, "I'm sorry, sun. Please be happy again." + +The sun looked happy again. It had a smile. Lily and Ben hugged the sun and said, "We love you, sun!" + +They put the scissors away and played with their clay some more. They made more things with the clay and had fun. They did not cut anything else. They were careful and kind. +Ben and Tom were brothers who liked to play in the yard. One day, they saw a big pile of coal near the fence. They wondered what it was for. + +"Let's take some and make a fire," Ben said. He was older and liked to do things that were dangerous. + +"No, that's foolish," Tom said. He was younger and liked to be safe. "Dad said coal is for the stove, not for playing. He will be angry if we take it." + +But Ben did not listen. He took a big piece of coal and tried to carry it to the fire pit. It was heavy and dirty and made his hands black. He dropped it on the way and it broke into smaller pieces. + +"See, I told you it was foolish," Tom said. He ran to get a bucket of water in case the coal caught fire. + +But Ben did not give up. He picked up the smaller pieces and carried them to the fire pit. He tried to light them with a match, but nothing happened. The coal did not burn, it only smoked and smelled bad. + +"Stop, Ben, stop," Tom said. He poured the water over the coal and the fire pit. The water hissed and steamed and put out the fire. + +Just then, Dad came out of the house. He saw the mess and the smoke and the wet coal. He was very angry. + +"Who did this?" he asked. + +Ben looked down and did not say anything. He knew he was in trouble. + +Tom looked at Ben and felt sorry for him. He decided to tell the truth. + +"It was Ben, Dad," he said. "He wanted to make a fire with the coal, but I told him it was foolish. I tried to stop him and put out the fire." + +Dad nodded and thanked Tom for being honest and brave. He told Ben to come inside and clean his hands. He also told him to apologize and help him put the coal back in the pile. + +Ben felt ashamed and sorry. He wished he had listened to Tom and not been foolish. He learned his lesson and never played with coal again. +Lila liked to listen to stories. She had many books with pictures and words, and her mom or dad would read them to her at night. She liked to hear about brave heroes, funny animals, and faraway places. She wished she could go on adventures like them. + +But Lila did not have many friends to play with. She lived in a big house with a big yard, but there were no other kids nearby. Sometimes she felt lonely and bored. She wanted someone to talk to and share her stuff with. She wished she had a brother or a sister. + +One day, her mom told her a secret. She said, "Lila, I have some good news for you. You are going to have a baby sister soon. She is growing in my tummy right now. She will be here in a few months. You will be a big sister, and you will have someone to play with and love." + +Lila was very happy and excited. She hugged her mom and asked her many questions. She wanted to know what her sister would look like, what her name would be, and what she would like to do. She said, "Mom, I can't wait to meet her. I will teach her how to listen to stories, and I will share my stuff with her. I will be the best big sister ever." + +Lila waited and waited for her sister to come. She helped her mom get ready for the baby. She picked out some clothes, toys, and books for her. She made a card and a drawing for her. She sang songs and told stories to her mom's tummy. She hoped her sister would listen and like them. + +Finally, the day came when her mom and dad went to the hospital. Lila stayed with her grandma, who told her more stories and gave her cookies. She was nervous and curious, but also happy and proud. She knew her sister was coming soon, and she would not be lonely anymore. She wished she could see her and hug her and tell her she loved her. + +The next day, her mom and dad came back with a bundle in their arms. They smiled and said, "Lila, meet your baby sister. Her name is Mia. She is very small and cute, and she has your eyes and nose. She is your family, and she loves you very much." + +Lila ran to them and looked at the bundle. She saw a tiny face with dark hair and bright eyes. She heard a soft cry and a little snore. She felt a warm hand and a wet nose. She smelled a sweet scent and a new smell. She said, "Hi, Mia. I'm Lila. I'm your big sister. I'm so happy you're here. I have so many stories to tell you, and so much stuff to show you. You're not lonely anymore. Neither am I." +Jill and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were pirates looking for treasure. They had a map that showed them where to dig. They were very anxious to find the jewel. + +"Look, Ben, I think we are close!" Jill said, pointing to a big X on the map. "Let's dig here!" + +They used their shovels and dug a big hole. They saw something shiny in the dirt. They pulled it out and gasped. It was a jewel! It was red and sparkly and beautiful. + +"We did it, Jill! We completed our quest!" Ben said, holding the jewel in his hand. "We are the best pirates ever!" + +They hugged and cheered. They were so happy and proud. They decided to share the jewel with their friends. They ran to the playground and showed them their treasure. Everyone was amazed and wanted to play with them. Jill and Ben had a lot of fun that day. They loved playing pirates. +Lily and Tom were playing in the attic. They liked to find old things and make up stories about them. Lily saw a big box with a shiny lock. She wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Look, Tom, a treasure box!" she said. "Let's choose a key and open it." + +Tom looked at the box and saw a cobweb on it. He felt worried. He did not like spiders or dust. He thought the box might have something scary or dirty inside. + +"No, Lily, I don't want to open it," he said. "It has a cobweb on it. Maybe there is a spider or a mouse or a ghost inside. Let's choose another thing to play with." + +Lily did not listen to Tom. She was curious and brave. She picked up a key from a jar and tried to fit it in the lock. It did not work. She tried another key and another key. None of them worked. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go," Tom said. "This is boring and spooky. I want to play with the dolls or the cars or the books." + +Lily did not give up. She found one more key in the jar. It was small and rusty. She put it in the lock and turned it. It clicked. She opened the box and gasped. + +"What is it, Lily? What is it?" Tom asked. He moved closer to see. + +Lily smiled and lifted something out of the box. It was a beautiful dress with sparkles and ribbons. It looked like a fairy dress. + +"Wow, Lily, it's a fairy dress!" Tom said. "It's so pretty. Where did it come from?" + +Lily did not know. She did not care. She was happy. She put on the dress and twirled around. + +"I'm a fairy, Tom, I'm a fairy!" she said. "Do you want to be a fairy too?" + +Tom looked at the dress and the box. He saw no cobweb, no spider, no mouse, no ghost. He saw only magic and fun. He nodded and smiled. + +"Yes, Lily, I want to be a fairy too," he said. "Let's choose a fairy name and a fairy power and a fairy adventure." + +Lily and Tom played with the dress and the box. They forgot about the attic and the dust. They chose to be fairies and have fun. They were happy. +Ben and Mia are brother and sister. They share a room and a big bed. Ben likes to sleep with the fan on, because it makes him cool and calm. Mia does not like the fan, because it makes her cold and scared. She thinks the fan is loud and makes bad noises. + +One night, Ben turns on the fan before they go to sleep. Mia says, "No, Ben, turn off the fan! I don't like it!" Ben says, "But I need the fan, Mia! It helps me sleep!" They start to argue and shout. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees them fighting over the fan. She says, "Stop, Ben and Mia! You need to be quiet and nice to each other. You can both have what you want, if you share and compromise." + +Mom gives Mia a warm blanket and a soft toy. She says, "Here, Mia, you can cover yourself with this blanket and hug this toy. They will keep you warm and safe. You don't have to be afraid of the fan." Mia smiles and takes the blanket and the toy. She covers herself and cuddles the toy. + +Mom gives Ben a pair of earplugs and a book. She says, "Here, Ben, you can wear these earplugs and read this book. They will block the noise and make you calm. You don't have to listen to the fan." Ben nods and takes the earplugs and the book. He puts on the earplugs and opens the book. + +Mom says, "Good night, Ben and Mia. I love you both. Sleep well." She kisses them and turns off the light. Ben and Mia say, "Good night, Mom. We love you too." They stop arguing and start sleeping. The fan keeps spinning. +Lily was a little girl who liked to go to school. She liked to play with her friends, draw pictures, and learn new things. But there was one thing she did not like: she liked to bite. + +Sometimes, when Lily was angry or bored, she would bite her friends or her toys. She did not know why she did it, but she could not stop. Her friends would cry and tell the teacher, and Lily would get in trouble. The teacher would tell her that biting was bad and hurtful, and make her say sorry. + +One day, Lily was playing with a doll in the corner. She wanted to make the doll talk, but she did not know how. She felt frustrated and bit the doll's arm. She did not see that Ben, a boy in her class, was watching her. Ben was curious and came closer to see what she was doing. + +"Hey, Lily, what are you doing?" he asked. + +Lily was startled and dropped the doll. She saw that the doll had a big hole in its arm, and felt embarrassed. She did not want Ben to see that she bit the doll. + +"Nothing, go away!" she said, and tried to hide the doll behind her back. + +But Ben did not go away. He reached for the doll and tried to take it from her. He wanted to see the hole and tease her. + +"Let me see, let me see!" he said, and pulled the doll. + +Lily did not want to let go. She was afraid that Ben would laugh at her and tell everyone. She held the doll tight and bit Ben's hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben screamed, and let go of the doll. He ran to the teacher and showed her his hand. It had a red mark and some blood. + +"Lily bit me, Lily bit me!" he cried. + +The teacher was shocked and angry. She took Lily and Ben to the office and called their parents. Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. She knew she had done something very wrong and hurt Ben. She wished she could stop biting and be a good girl. She wondered if Ben and her friends would ever play with her again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar on the shelf. It was full of cookies. Lily wanted a cookie. She was hungry and they looked yummy. Ben wanted a cookie too, but he was scared. He knew Mom said no cookies before dinner. + +"Let's peek at the jar," Lily said. She was bossy. She always told Ben what to do. "Maybe we can take one cookie and Mom won't notice." + +Ben shook his head. He did not want to peek. He did not want to be bad. He wanted to be good. He said, "No, Lily. We can't peek. Mom will be mad. We have to wait for dinner." + +Lily did not listen. She did not care. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She pulled it down and opened it. She smiled and took a big cookie. She said, "See, Ben? It's easy. You can have one too. Don't be a baby." + +Ben felt sad. He did not want to be a baby. He wanted to be brave. He wanted to make Lily happy. He climbed on the chair and took a small cookie. He bit it and it was sweet. He said, "Okay, Lily. You're right. It's not so bad." + +But then they heard a noise. It was Mom. She came into the kitchen and saw them. She saw the jar and the cookies and their faces. She was angry. She said, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You know you're not supposed to peek at the jar. You know you're not supposed to eat cookies before dinner. You're in big trouble. Go to your room right now. No more cookies for you. No more playing for you. You're naughty children." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They felt scared. They dropped their cookies and ran to their room. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had not peeked at the jar. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had been good. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and bury things. They buried stones, leaves, and worms. They had fun. + +But then Ben had a bad idea. He saw Mom's new shoes in the cupboard. They were shiny and pretty. Ben wanted to bury them. He thought it would be funny. + +He took the shoes and ran to the garden. Lily saw him and shouted, "No, Ben! Don't bury Mom's shoes! She will be angry!" + +But Ben did not listen. He dug a big hole and buried the shoes. He smiled and said, "Ha ha! Mom will not find them!" + +Lily was scared. She was smart. She knew Mom would be very sad and mad. She ran to the cupboard and looked for something to replace the shoes. She found Dad's old boots. They were dirty and smelly. She took them and put them in the cupboard. + +Mom came home. She wanted to wear her new shoes. She opened the cupboard and saw the boots. She was confused and upset. She asked, "Where are my shoes? Who did this?" + +Lily and Ben came in. Lily pointed at Ben and said, "He did it! He buried your shoes in the garden!" + +Mom was furious. She scolded Ben and made him dig up the shoes. They were ruined. They were muddy and torn. Mom cried and said, "You are a naughty boy! You have to go to your room and no dessert for you!" + +Ben was sorry. He realized he had made a big mistake. He wished he had listened to Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was stupid. I won't bury your things again." + +But it was too late. Mom was still angry and sad. Lily was still scared and sad. Ben was still naughty and sad. They had a bad day. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore the forest near her home. One day, she saw a big house made of wood and stones. She wondered who lived there and what they had inside. She decided to sneak in and look around. + +She opened the door and saw a huge room with a big table, a big chair, and a big bed. On the table, there was a big bowl of soup, a big loaf of bread, and a big spoon. Lily was hungry and wanted to taste the soup. She climbed on the chair and took the spoon. She dipped it in the soup and brought it to her mouth. + +But before she could eat, she heard a loud voice. "Who is in my house?" It was a giant who lived there. He was angry and scared. He saw Lily on his chair with his spoon. He thought she was trying to steal his food. He roared and stomped towards her. + +Lily was afraid and sorry. She dropped the spoon and jumped off the chair. She ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. She looked for another way out. She saw a window and climbed on the bed. She pushed the window open and jumped out. + +She landed on the grass and ran away. She did not look back. She ran all the way to her home. She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Lily, you should not go into other people's houses without asking. It is not nice to steal or to be curious. You could get hurt or make someone angry. Next time, stay away from the giant's house and play with your friends." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again. I learned my lesson. The giant's house is not a good place to explore." She gave her mom a kiss and went to her room. She was glad she was safe and had a nice home. She did not want to see the giant ever again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide. Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben. The slide is fun. You can take my hand. I will help you." Anna says. + +"No, Anna. The slide is too high. I will fall. I want to play with the swings." Ben says. + +"Please, Ben. Just try it once. You will like it. It is not scary. It is regular." Anna says. + +Anna takes Ben's hand and pulls him to the slide. Ben feels his waist get tight. He does not want to go. He tries to stop. + +"Anna, stop. I don't want to go. Let me go." Ben says. + +"Trust me, Ben. It will be okay. Look, I will go first. See, it is easy." Anna says. + +Anna lets go of Ben's hand and sits on the slide. She slides down fast. She laughs and smiles. She reaches the bottom. She looks up at Ben. + +"See, Ben. That was fun. Now you try it. Come on, you can do it." Anna says. + +Ben looks at the slide. He sees Anna happy. He wants to be happy too. He takes a deep breath. He sits on the slide. He slides down slowly. He feels the wind on his face. He reaches the bottom. He looks at Anna. + +"Anna, you were right. That was fun. Can we do it again?" Ben says. + +Anna hugs Ben. She is proud of him. She is happy he tried. + +"Of course, Ben. We can do it again. We can do it as many times as we want. We are brave. We are friends." Anna says. +Tom and Lily were bored. They had nothing to do. All their toys were dull and old. They looked out the window and saw the rain. They could not go outside and play. + +"Let's go upstairs and see what we can find," Tom said to Lily. "Maybe there are some fun things in the attic." + +"OK, but we have to be quiet. Mom is working in her room and she does not like noise," Lily said. + +They tiptoed up the stairs and opened the door to the attic. It was dark and dusty. They saw some boxes and bags and old clothes. They started to look inside them. + +"Look, I found a hat and a scarf and a coat. I can dress up like a snowman," Tom said. He put on the clothes and made a funny face. + +"Look, I found a puzzle and a book and a crayon. I can complete the puzzle and read the book and draw a picture," Lily said. She took out the things and sat on the floor. + +They played with their new things for a while. They forgot about the rain and the boredom. They had fun. + +"Tom, Lily, time for lunch," Mom called from downstairs. "Come down now." + +"OK, Mom, we are coming," Tom and Lily said. They took off the clothes and put back the things. They closed the door to the attic and ran down the stairs. + +They were hungry and happy. They had a good time upstairs. +Tim and Lily liked to play in the park. They had a red ball and a blue bike. They shared the ball and the bike and had fun. One day, a new boy came to the park. He had a big yellow truck. He did not share his truck. He said it was his and only his. + +Tim and Lily wanted to play with the truck. They asked the new boy if they could have a turn. The new boy said no. He said they were silly and their ball and bike were old and boring. He drove his truck around the park and made loud noises. Tim and Lily felt sad and jealous. They wished they had a truck too. + +They decided to wait until the new boy went away. They hoped he would leave his truck behind. They watched him from behind a tree. They saw him drive his truck to the west, where the sun was going down. They followed him quietly. They saw him stop near a big fence. He got off his truck and climbed over the fence. He left his truck on the ground. + +Tim and Lily ran to the truck. They were happy. They thought they could play with it for a while. They did not see the sign on the fence. It said "Danger. Do not enter. Dogs inside." They did not hear the barking. They did not see the dogs until they were too close. The dogs saw them and got angry. They jumped over the fence and chased them. Tim and Lily screamed and dropped the truck. They tried to run away, but the dogs were faster. The dogs bit them and hurt them. The new boy heard the noise and came back. He saw what happened and laughed. He took his truck and left. Tim and Lily cried and bled. They wished they had never seen the truck. They wished they had stayed with their ball and bike. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys. One day, Sara wants to play with the doll and Ben wants to play with the car. They both grab the toy and pull hard. + +"Let go of my doll!" Sara says. + +"No, let go of my car!" Ben says. + +They pull and pull until the toy breaks. The doll's head falls off and the car's wheel comes off. Sara and Ben both cry. They suffer because they broke their toy. + +Mom hears them cry and comes to their room. She sees the broken toy and the sad twins. She is not happy. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. + +"We fought over the toy and it broke," Sara says. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom sighs. She picks up the broken toy and the twins. She hugs them and says, "Fighting is not good. You should share your toys and be kind to each other. You are twins and you should love each other." + +She takes them to the living room and gives them a new toy. It is a big puzzle with many pieces. It has a picture of a light house and a boat. The light house has a bright light that helps the boat find its way. + +"Look, this is a new toy for you. You can work on it together. It is a great puzzle. It will be fun and you will learn something new," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben smile. They say thank you to Mom and start to work on the puzzle. They help each other find the pieces and fit them together. They do not fight anymore. They enjoy the puzzle and the light. They are happy. +Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They were white and pretty. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Mom, can I pass some bread to the swans?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't get too close. They might bite," Mom said. + +Lily took a piece of bread and walked to the edge of the pond. She saw a big swan swimming near her. She smiled and threw the bread to the swan. The swan caught the bread and ate it. Lily was happy. + +"Look, Mom, the swan likes the bread!" Lily said. + +Sam wanted to try too. He took a piece of bread and ran to the pond. He saw a small swan with a gray feather on its head. He thought it was cute. He threw the bread to the small swan. But the big swan saw him and got angry. It thought Sam was stealing its food. It hissed and flapped its wings. It chased Sam away from the pond. + +"Help, Mom, the swan is mad at me!" Sam cried. + +Mom heard Sam and ran to him. She picked him up and hugged him. She was worried. + +"Are you okay, Sam? Did the swan hurt you?" Mom asked. + +"No, Mom, I'm okay. But the swan was scary. It didn't like me," Sam said. + +Mom looked at the swan. It was still hissing and flapping. It was protecting its baby. Mom understood. + +"It's okay, Sam. The swan was not mean. It was just worried. It thought you were a threat to its baby. It loves its baby, just like I love you," Mom said. + +Sam looked at the baby swan. It was still eating the bread. It looked happy. Sam felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, swan. I didn't know it was your baby. I just wanted to be nice," Sam said. + +The big swan heard Sam and calmed down. It stopped hissing and flapping. It swam back to its baby and cuddled it. It looked at Sam and nodded. It forgave him. + +Lily saw what happened and joined them. She was glad. + +"Wow, Sam, you made friends with the swan. That's cool," Lily said. + +Sam smiled and nodded. He was proud. + +"Thanks, Lily. The swan is cool too. And so is its baby," Sam said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. She was happy. + +"Let's go and find some more bread. Maybe we can feed some more ducks and swans. But remember, be careful and respectful. They are living creatures, just like us," Mom said. + +Lily and Sam agreed. They followed Mom and walked to the bench. They found some more bread and went back to the pond. They fed some more ducks and swans. They had fun. They learned a lot. They had a good day. +Tim and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. Tim has a ball. Anna has a doll. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has white hair and white skin. He does not talk or hear. He is deaf. He sits on a bench and looks sad. + +Tim and Anna want to be nice. They go to the new boy and smile. Tim offers his ball to the new boy. He says, "Do you want to play with us?" + +The new boy does not answer. He does not see Tim's mouth. He does not hear Tim's voice. He looks at the ball and shakes his head. He does not want the ball. + +Anna offers her doll to the new boy. She says, "Do you like dolls? This is my doll. Her name is Lily." + +The new boy does not answer. He does not see Anna's mouth. He does not hear Anna's voice. He looks at the doll and nods. He likes dolls. + +Anna gives her doll to the new boy. He takes the doll and hugs it. He smiles. He is happy. + +Tim and Anna are happy too. They have a new friend. They play together in the park. They use their hands and eyes to talk. They learn new words. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big doll with a soft body and a pretty dress. They named her Anna and pretended she was their sister. + +One day, they had a fight over who could play with Anna. Lily wanted to dress her up and Ben wanted to make her fly. They pulled and pulled on Anna's body until something terrible happened. Anna's body came apart and her head, arms and legs fell on the floor. + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting and looked at Anna. They felt very sad and sorry. They cried and hugged each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to separate Anna's body," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, too, Ben. I should have shared Anna with you," Lily said. + +They picked up Anna's parts and tried to put her back together. But they didn't know how. They needed help. + +They ran to their mom and showed her Anna. Mom looked at Anna and smiled. + +"Don't worry, my loves. Anna is not broken. She is a special doll that can separate and join her body. See?" Mom said. + +She took Anna's parts and snapped them together. Anna was whole again. She looked at Lily and Ben and said, "Hello, my friends. I'm happy to see you." + +Lily and Ben were amazed and happy. They thanked their mom and hugged Anna. They learned to be careful and kind with their toys and each other. They played with Anna and had fun. They were a happy family. +Sara and Ben were twins, but they liked different things. Sara liked pink and dolls, Ben liked blue and cars. They had a big tree in their house, with many ornaments on it. Some were shiny, some were soft, some were round, some were pointy. + +One day, Sara and Ben were playing near the tree. Sara saw a pink ornament that looked like a doll. She wanted to play with it. She reached for it and pulled it off the tree. But the ornament was not a doll, it was made of glass. It broke in her hand and cut her finger. Sara cried. + +Ben heard Sara cry and ran to her. He saw the broken ornament and the blood on her finger. He felt sorry for her. He looked for something to help her. He saw a blue ornament that looked like a car. He thought it was soft, like his toy cars. He grabbed it and tried to tear it off the tree. But the ornament was not a car, it was made of metal. It did not tear, it bent and scratched his hand. Ben cried. + +Mom and Dad heard Sara and Ben cry and came to them. They saw the broken and bent ornaments and the cuts on their hands. They were not happy. They hugged Sara and Ben and took them to the bathroom. They washed their hands and put band-aids on them. They told Sara and Ben not to touch the ornaments on the tree. They said the ornaments were not toys, they were for looking only. They said the ornaments were different from their toys, and they could hurt them. + +Sara and Ben said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They did not touch the ornaments on the tree again. They played with their own toys, and sometimes they shared them. They still liked different things, but they also liked each other. +Ben loves to play soccer with his friends. He likes to kick the ball and run fast. He wants to be a good player like his dad. His dad is a famous player who plays for a big team. Ben has a shirt with his dad's name and number on it. + +One day, Ben goes to the park with his mom. He sees some kids playing soccer on the grass. He asks his mom if he can join them. His mom says yes and takes him to the kids. Ben says hello and shows them his shirt. He says, "My dad is a famous player. He plays for the big team. Do you know him?" + +The kids look at Ben and his shirt. They are surprised and excited. They say, "Wow, your dad is a famous player? We know him! He is very good. He scores many goals. We watch him on TV. Can you play like him?" + +Ben smiles and nods. He says, "Yes, I can play like him. He teaches me how to kick and run and pass. He says I am a good player too. Do you want to play with me?" + +The kids say yes and welcome Ben to their game. They give him a ball and let him be on their team. They play soccer together and have fun. They mention Ben's dad and ask him questions. Ben is happy and proud. He makes new friends and enjoys playing soccer. He thinks his dad will be happy too. +Lily and Sam were very happy. Today was the flower festival. They could see many flowers in the park. Some were red, some were yellow, some were pink. They smelled very nice. + +"Look, Sam, this flower is very big and fancy. It has many petals and a yellow middle. Do you know what it is?" Lily asked. + +Sam looked at the flower. He thought for a moment. "I think it is a sunflower. It looks like the sun. It is very pretty," he said. + +Lily nodded. She liked sunflowers too. They were bright and cheerful.
