Friendship is precious. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. Anna had a big doll with soft hair and a pretty dress. Ben had a small car with smooth wheels and a loud horn. Anna was envious of Ben's car. She wished she had a car too. + +One day, Anna found a magic wand in the attic. She thought it would be fun to use it on Ben's car. She pointed the wand at the car and said, "Shrink, shrink, shrink!" The car became smaller and smaller until it was as tiny as a bug. Ben was very sad. He loved his car and now he could not play with it. + +Anna felt sorry for Ben. She realized she had been mean and selfish. She wanted to make Ben happy again. She pointed the wand at the car and said, "Grow, grow, grow!" The car became bigger and bigger until it was as big as before. Ben was very happy. He hugged his car and thanked Anna. + +Anna and Ben learned a lesson. They learned to be happy with what they had and to share with each other. They also learned to be careful with magic. They decided to put the wand back in the attic and never use it again. They played with their toys together and had fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they want to have a picnic. They ask their moms for some food and a blanket. They go to the park with their things. + +They find a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket on the grass. They put the food on the blanket. They are happy. They want to show their moms their picnic. + +But then, a dog comes. The dog is big and brown. The dog is hungry. The dog sees the food. The dog runs to the blanket. The dog eats the food. The dog makes a mess. The blanket is not clean. The food is gone. Anna and Ben are sad. They cry. + +Their moms hear them. They come to the park. They see the dog. They see the mess. They are not happy. They tell the dog to go away. The dog runs away. They hug Anna and Ben. They say they are sorry. + +They help Anna and Ben clean the blanket. They take them home. They make more food. They have a picnic in the backyard. They are happy. They show their dads their picnic. Their dads are proud. They say they are good. They have fun. The end. +Tom and Lily were going to see their grandma. They had to take a train. Tom liked trains. He liked to look at the big wheels and the smoke. Lily liked trains too, but she was worried. She was worried that they would get lost or miss their stop. + +"Don't be worried, Lily," Tom said. "I will help you. We will sit by the window and watch the signs. I will guess when we are close to grandma's house." + +"Okay, Tom," Lily said. "But how will you guess?" + +Tom smiled. He had a plan. He knew that grandma's house was near a big lake. He also knew that there was a bridge over the lake. He had seen it in a picture. + +"I will guess by looking for the lake and the bridge," Tom said. "When we see the lake and the bridge, we will know that we are almost there. Then we will listen for the train to say 'next stop, grandma's house'." + +Lily nodded. She felt better. She trusted Tom. She liked his plan. She looked out the window and saw trees and fields and cows. She wondered when they would see the lake and the bridge. + +They saw many things on their way. They saw a town with a church and a school. They saw a farm with a barn and a tractor. They saw a hill with a castle and a flag. They saw a river with a boat and a duck. They saw many signs, but none of them said 'grandma's house'. + +"Are we there yet, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, Lily," Tom said. "But we are getting closer. I can feel it. Can you guess what we will see next?" + +Lily thought hard. She tried to guess. She hoped it would be the lake and the bridge. + +"I guess we will see a park with a swing and a slide," Lily said. + +Tom shook his head. He knew that was not right. He had a better guess. + +"I guess we will see the lake and the bridge," Tom said. + +Lily looked at him. She hoped he was right. She wanted to see grandma. + +They waited and watched. They saw more trees and fields and cows. They saw more signs, but none of them said 'grandma's house'. + +Then, suddenly, they saw it. They saw the lake and the bridge. They were big and shiny and blue. They looked just like the picture. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Tom shouted. "We did it! We guessed right! There is the lake and the bridge! We are almost there!" + +Lily looked and smiled. She was happy. She saw the lake and the bridge. She knew they were almost there. + +They heard the train say 'next stop, grandma's house'. They got ready to get off. They held hands and grabbed their bags. They saw grandma waiting for them on the platform. She waved and smiled. + +They got off the train and ran to her. They hugged and kissed her. They were glad to see her. + +"Hello, Tom and Lily," grandma said. "How was your trip? Did you enjoy the train?" + +"Yes, grandma, we did," Tom said. "We saw many things. We guessed when we were close to your house. We saw the lake and the bridge. We were right!" + +"That's wonderful, Tom," grandma said. "You are very smart. And how about you, Lily? Were you worried?" + +"A little, grandma, but not too much," Lily said. "Tom helped me. He had a plan. He was very brave." + +"That's very sweet, Lily," grandma said. "You are very kind. I'm proud of both of you. You are very good children. Come on, let's go inside. I have a surprise for you." + +They followed grandma inside. They wondered what the surprise was. They guessed it was something good. They guessed it was something yummy. They guessed it was a cake. They were right. +Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures, and share snacks. One day, Mia had a big surprise for Leo. She told him to close his eyes and follow her. + +"Where are we going, Mia?" Leo asked. + +"You'll see, you'll see," Mia said. "It's something very sweet and fun." + +They walked for a while, until Mia stopped and said, "Okay, Leo, you can open your eyes now. Ta-da!" + +Leo opened his eyes and saw a big cake with candles and sprinkles. It was his birthday, and Mia had made him a cake. Leo was so happy, he hugged Mia and said, "Thank you, thank you, Mia! You are the best friend ever!" + +Mia smiled and said, "You're welcome, Leo. Happy birthday! Now, let's make a wish and eat some cake!" + +They blew out the candles, cut the cake, and ate it with big spoons. It was the sweetest cake Leo had ever tasted. He was glad Mia was his friend, and he wondered what he could do to surprise her on her birthday. +Tom had a new puppy. He named him Spot, because he had a big black spot on his back. Tom loved Spot very much. He gave him a soft bed, a red ball, and a blue bowl. + +Every day, Tom poured water in the bowl for Spot. He wanted Spot to be happy and healthy. Spot liked the water. He drank it with his tongue. He wagged his tail and licked Tom's face. + +One day, Tom saw a little girl in the park. She had a puppy too. But her puppy looked sad and thirsty. She had no bowl, no ball, and no bed. Tom felt sorry for her and her puppy. + +He ran to his mom and asked, "Mom, can I share my water with the girl and her puppy? They have nothing. I have a lot." + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, Tom, you can. That is very generous of you. You are a good boy and a good friend." + +Tom took his blue bowl and poured some water for the girl and her puppy. They were very happy and grateful. They thanked Tom and played with him and Spot. Tom felt good. He had made new friends. He had shared his water. He had been generous. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They skip and run and laugh. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Me first!" Sara says. She runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the slide. + +"Wait for me!" Tom says. He runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He sits behind Sara on the slide. + +"Ready, set, go!" Sara says. She pushes off the slide. She slides down fast. She makes a zigzag with her body. She thinks it is fun. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom says. He does not like the zigzag. He wants to slide down straight. He tries to hold on to Sara. He slides down too. He bumps into Sara. + +"Ouch!" Sara says. She falls off the slide. She lands on the grass. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +"Sorry!" Tom says. He falls off the slide. He lands on the grass. He hurts his elbow. He cries. + +A lady comes to them. She is a nurse. She works in the park. She sees Sara and Tom. She helps them. + +"Are you okay?" she asks. She looks at their knee and elbow. She puts a band-aid on them. She gives them a hug. + +"Thank you!" Sara and Tom say. They feel better. They smile. + +"You are lucky!" the nurse says. "You did not break anything. You should be careful on the slide. Do not make a zigzag. Do not push each other. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, we understand!" Sara and Tom say. They nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug. + +"Can we play again?" Sara asks. + +"Of course!" the nurse says. "But be nice and safe. Have fun!" + +Sara and Tom say thank you to the nurse. They skip to the swings. They play and laugh. They are friends. They are happy. +Anna was sick. She had a bad cough and a sore throat. She did not want to play or eat. She only wanted to lie in bed and hug her teddy bear. + +Her mom came in with a spoon and a bottle. "Anna, you need to take your medicine. It will help you feel better," she said. + +Anna shook her head. She did not like medicine. It was bitter and yucky. She hid under the covers and said, "No, no, no!" + +Her mom sighed. She knew Anna was scared and stubborn. She pulled the covers down and said, "Please, Anna, be a brave girl. This medicine is dependable. It will make your cough and throat go away. Don't you want to be well and play again?" + +Anna looked at her mom. She saw her mom's kind eyes and gentle smile. She also saw her mom's worried face. She knew her mom loved her and wanted her to be healthy. She nodded slowly. She opened her mouth and let her mom give her the medicine. She made a face and said, "Blech!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Good girl, Anna. I'm proud of you. Now, close your eyes and rest. I'll be right here with you." + +Anna closed her eyes and snuggled with her teddy bear. She felt her mom's warm hand on her forehead. She felt a little better already. She whispered, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "I love you too, Anna. You're my sweet girl." +Tim and Mia like to play with trains. They have a big box of trains and a long track. They can make the track go in circles, or straight, or up and down. They have fun making the trains go fast or slow, or stop and start. + +One day, Tim and Mia see a new train in the store. It is shiny and red, and it makes a loud sound. Tim and Mia want the new train, but it is not cheap. It is very expensive. Their mom says they have enough trains at home, and they cannot buy the new train. + +Tim and Mia are sad. They go home and play with their old trains, but they still think about the new train. They wish they had the new train. + +The next day, their dad comes home from work. He has a big smile and a big bag. He says he has a surprise for Tim and Mia. He opens the bag and takes out the new train. Tim and Mia are very happy. They hug their dad and thank him. + +Their dad says he found the new train on sale. It was cheap. He says he knows how much they love trains, and he wanted to make them happy. He says he loves them very much. + +Tim and Mia are very happy. They put the new train on the track and make it go. It is shiny and red, and it makes a loud sound. They play with the new train and their old trains. They have fun. They love their dad. They love their trains. +Lily was a thoughtful girl who liked to talk to animals. She had a kitten named Fluffy who was her best friend. Fluffy liked to listen to Lily and play with her. + +One day, Lily and Fluffy went to the park. They saw a big dog who was barking loudly. Fluffy was scared and ran away. Lily tried to find him, but he was nowhere to be seen. She was sad and worried. + +She asked the other animals in the park if they had seen Fluffy. She talked to a bird, a squirrel, a rabbit, and a frog. But none of them had seen Fluffy. They were busy with their own things and did not care about Lily's problem. + +Lily felt alone and lost. She wished she had someone who was thoughtful and kind like Fluffy. She sat on a bench and cried. + +Then, she heard a soft meow. She looked up and saw Fluffy. He had come back to her. He had been hiding from the dog, but he had not forgotten Lily. He had been looking for her too. He jumped on her lap and licked her face. He was happy to see her. + +Lily hugged Fluffy and smiled. She was happy to see him too. She thanked him for being her best friend. She learned that animals can be thoughtful and caring, and that they deserve to be talked to and loved. She and Fluffy went home together, feeling safe and warm. +Tom and Lily liked to sail. They had a small boat with a white sail and a red flag. They sailed on the lake near their home. They saw ducks, fish and frogs. They waved to other boats and people on the shore. + +One day, they sailed to a big island. They wanted to explore. They found a cave with a dark hole. They were curious. They tied their boat to a rock and went inside. They had a flashlight and a map. + +The cave was full of chambers. Some chambers had shiny stones, some had bats, some had water. They looked at everything and drew pictures on their map. They had fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. It started to rain. The water in the cave rose. They were scared. They ran back to the hole. But the hole was too small. The water blocked it. They were trapped. + +They cried for help. They hoped someone would hear them. They hugged each other and prayed. + +Then, they saw a light. It was a rescue team. They had a rope and a radio. They heard Tom and Lily's cries. They pulled them out of the hole. They were wet and dirty, but fine. + +They thanked the rescue team. They got on their boat and sailed back to their home. They were happy and relieved. They told their parents what happened. They learned a lesson. They would never sail to the island again. They would stay on the lake. They would be careful. They would still sail, but not too far. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. They liked to go on the swing. The swing was big and fun. They could go high and fast. + +One day, the sun was very bright. It shone on the swing. The swing looked shiny and pretty. Anna and Ben both wanted to go on the swing. But there was only one swing. + +"I want to go first!" said Anna. + +"No, I want to go first!" said Ben. + +They pushed and pulled. They shouted and cried. They did not share. They did not play nice. + +Then, something bad happened. The swing broke. It snapped and fell. Anna and Ben fell too. They hurt their knees and elbows. They felt sad and sore. + +They looked at the broken swing. They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was mean. You can go first next time." said Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was mean too. You can go first now." said Anna. + +They hugged and smiled. They were friends again. They did not need the swing. They had each other. They played in the sun. The sun shone on them. They shone too. +Tom and Jen are players. They like to play with balls and dolls and cars. But they do not like to share. They always want the same toy and they fight for it. + +One day, Mom gives them a new toy. It is a thin book with many pictures and words. Mom tells them it is a story book. She says they can look at it together and she will tell them the story. + +Tom and Jen are happy. They sit on the couch and open the book. They see a picture of a big bear and a little girl. Mom tells them the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Tom and Jen listen and look at the pictures. They like the story. + +But then, Tom wants to turn the page. He wants to see what happens next. Jen does not want to turn the page. She wants to look at the picture more. They start to pull the book. They pull hard. The book is thin and it tears.

Mom smiles and hugs them. She says she loves them. She says she will fix the book and tell them another story. Tom and Jen are happy. They are good players. +Lila was a girl who liked to ask questions. She asked her mom, her dad, her brother, and her cat. She asked about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the rain. She asked about the birds, the bugs, the flowers, and the trees. She asked about the books, the toys, the games, and the songs. + +But sometimes, no one could answer her questions. Her mom was busy with work, her dad was tired from driving, her brother was angry with homework, and her cat was sleeping. Lila felt sad and lonely. She wanted to know more about the world. + +One day, she found a phone in the closet. It was old and dusty, but it had a handle and a cord. She picked it up and put it to her ear. She heard a voice say, "Hello, hello, who is this?" Lila was surprised and happy. She said, "Hi, I am Lila. Who are you?" + +The voice said, "I am Max. I am a boy who lives far away. I found this phone in the trash. It does not work well, but sometimes I can talk to people. What do you want to talk about?" + +Lila smiled and said, "I want to talk about everything. I have many questions. Can you answer them?" + +Max said, "I can try. I like to learn new things too. Maybe we can be friends." + +Lila and Max talked for a long time. They asked and answered each other's questions. They learned about different places, animals, colors, and shapes. They laughed and sang and played. They did not care that the phone was old and poor. They were happy to have someone to talk to. They were happy to have a new friend. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the old house near the park. It had many rooms and things to see. But they never went to the attic. They heard it was scary and dark. + +One day, they saw a light in the attic window. They wondered who was there. They decided to go and see. They climbed the stairs and opened the door. They saw a man with a big beard and a hat. He was sitting at a table with papers and books. + +"Hello, children," the man said. "Do you want to see a mystery?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were curious and brave. The man smiled and showed them a map. It had many lines and dots and words. + +"This is a treasure map," the man said. "It tells where to find a hidden chest of gold and jewels. But no one has ever found it. It is a very old mystery." + +"Wow," Ben and Lily said. They looked at the map. They wanted to see the treasure. + +"Can we help you find it?" Ben asked. + +"Sure," the man said. "But you have to be careful. There are traps and puzzles and secrets. And you have to be quiet. We don't want anyone to know. We have to spread the map on the floor and look for clues." + +Ben and Lily agreed. They followed the man to the floor. They spread the map and looked for clues. They felt excited and happy. They did not know that the man was not a friend. He was a thief. He wanted to use them to find the treasure. He had a plan. He had a trap. He had a secret. He was not a good man. He was a bad man. And he was about to show them his true face. +Lily was a little mouse who liked to explore the big house. She was not afraid of anything, not even the big cat who lived there. She thought the cat was slow and silly, and she liked to scare him with her squeaks and runs. + +One day, she found a new thing in the kitchen. It was a box with a hole and a smooth thing inside. It smelled very good, like cheese. Lily wanted to eat the cheese, but she was not sure if it was safe. She looked around and saw the cat sleeping on the sofa. She thought he would not wake up, so she decided to try the cheese. + +She ran to the box and squeezed through the hole. She reached for the cheese with her teeth, but as soon as she touched it, she heard a loud snap. The box closed on her and she was trapped. She felt scared and tried to push the box open, but it was too strong. She squeaked for help, but no one came. + +The cat heard the noise and opened his eyes. He saw the box moving and smelled the mouse. He got up and walked to the kitchen. He saw Lily inside the box and smiled. He pawed at the box and said, "Hello, little mouse. You are not so brave now, are you? You should not have tried to scare me and steal my cheese. Now you are my snack." + +Lily felt very sorry and wished she had not been so rude and greedy. She realized that the cheese was a trap and that the cat was not so slow and silly. She learned that it is not nice to scare others and that it is better to be careful and respectful. She hoped that someone would come and save her before the cat ate her. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a big case full of cars, dolls, blocks and books. They liked to make up stories with their toys and pretend they were on adventures. + +"Look, Lily, this is my super car. It can go very fast and fly in the air. It can also disappear when I press this button," Tom said, showing his red car to his sister. + +"Wow, that's cool, Tom. Can I try it?" Lily asked, reaching for the car. + +"Okay, but be careful. Don't lose it," Tom said, handing her the car. + +Lily took the car and pressed the button. The car made a beep sound and vanished from her hand. She gasped and looked around. + +"Tom, where did it go? I can't see it," Lily said, feeling anxious. + +"Don't worry, Lily. It didn't really disappear. It just became invisible. It's still here. You just have to press the button again and it will come back," Tom said, trying to calm her down. + +"Really? How do I press the button if I can't see it?" Lily asked, looking at her empty hand. + +"Um, I don't know. Maybe you have to feel it with your fingers. Or maybe you have to say a magic word. Or maybe you have to wait for a while. I'm not sure. I never tried it before," Tom said, scratching his head. + +Lily started to cry. She was scared that she had lost Tom's car forever. She didn't want to make him sad or angry. She wished she had never touched it. + +"Tom, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it disappear. Please don't be mad at me," Lily sobbed. + +Tom felt sorry for his sister. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad at you. It was an accident. We'll find it together. Maybe it will come back soon. Maybe it's just hiding somewhere. Maybe it's playing a trick on us. Let's look for it in the case. Maybe it's in there." + +They opened the case and searched for the car. They moved the other toys and looked under the books. They didn't see the car. + +"Maybe it's not in the case. Maybe it's somewhere else in the living room. Maybe it's on the couch or under the table or behind the curtain. Let's look there," Tom said, holding Lily's hand. + +They looked around the living room. They didn't see the car. + +"Maybe it's not in the living room. Maybe it's in another room. Maybe it's in the kitchen or in the bathroom or in the bedroom. Let's look there," Tom said, pulling Lily along. + +They looked in the other rooms. They didn't see the car. + +"Maybe it's not in the house. Maybe it's outside. Maybe it's in the garden or in the street or in the park. Let's look there," Tom said, grabbing Lily's coat. + +They ran outside. They didn't see the car. + +They looked everywhere. They didn't see the car. + +They were tired and sad. They didn't know what to do. + +They went back to the house. They saw their mom in the kitchen. + +"Hi, kids. What have you been doing? You look dirty and sad. Did something happen?" their mom asked, smiling at them. + +Tom and Lily told their mom what had happened. They told her about the super car that could disappear. They told her how they had looked for it everywhere. They told her how they couldn't find it. They told her how they were sorry and anxious. + +Their mom listened to them. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, kids. It's not your fault. It's not a real car. It's a toy car. It's a special toy car that I bought for Tom. It's a toy car that has a timer. It can disappear for a few minutes and then reappear. It's a toy car that is supposed to be fun and surprising. It's not a toy car that is supposed to make you sad and scared. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I wanted to see your reactions. I didn't think it would cause so much trouble. I'm sorry I made you anxious." + +Tom and Lily looked at their mom. They didn't understand what she was saying. They didn't know what a timer was. They didn't know why she would buy such a toy car. They didn't know why she would want to see their reactions. They didn't know why she would say sorry. + +They just wanted to see the car. + +"Where is the car, mom? Can we have it back?" Tom asked. + +" +Lily liked to buy things with her mom. She liked to buy toys, books, and clothes. But her favorite thing to buy was stickers. She had many stickers of animals, flowers, and stars. + +One day, she saw a new sticker at the store. It was a sticker of a fairy with a pink dress and shiny wings. Lily wanted the sticker very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +But her mom said no. She said they had enough stickers at home. She said they had to save money for other things. Lily was sad and angry. She wanted the fairy sticker more than anything. + +She had a bad idea. She took the sticker when her mom was not looking. She put it in her pocket and walked out of the store. She thought she was clever and happy. + +But she was not. She was troubled. She knew she did something wrong. She knew she made her mom sad. She knew she was not a good girl. She looked at the fairy sticker in her pocket. She did not like it anymore. She wished she could give it back. + +She decided to tell her mom the truth. She said she was sorry. She said she would never do it again. She gave her mom the fairy sticker. Her mom was not happy, but she was not angry either. She hugged Lily and said she loved her. She said they would go back to the store and say sorry to the people there. + +Lily felt better. She learned a lesson. She knew that buying things was not as important as being honest and kind. She knew that she did not need a fairy sticker to have wings. She had wings in her heart. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside in the park. Today it is cold and windy. Tom and Anna wear jackets to keep warm. + +"Look, Tom, a big hill!" Anna says. "Let's go up and see what is there." + +"OK, Anna, but be careful. The hill is steep and slippery." Tom says. + +They hold hands and start to climb the hill. They see trees and flowers and birds. They are happy. + +But then, a loud noise makes them stop. It is a big truck. The truck is coming fast on the road near the park. The truck driver does not see Tom and Anna. He is talking on his phone. + +"Tom, Anna, get down!" a voice shouts. It is Mom. She sees the truck and the danger. She runs to the hill to help them. + +Tom and Anna are scared. They do not know what to do. They see Mom coming closer. + +"Mom, Mom, help us!" they cry. + +Mom reaches them and hugs them. She raises them up and carries them away from the road. She puts them on the grass and checks them. + +"Are you OK, my loves?" she asks. + +"Yes, Mom, we are OK. Thank you, Mom." they say. + +Mom kisses them and smiles. She wraps them in her jacket to make them feel safe. + +"I'm so glad you are OK. You were very brave. But next time, please stay away from the road. It is not safe to play near it." she says. + +"OK, Mom, we will. We are sorry, Mom." they say. + +Mom nods and hugs them again. She takes them by the hand and walks them back to the car. They go home and have hot chocolate and cookies. They are happy and safe. +Lila liked to help her mom clean the house. She had a small broom and a dustpan that she used to sweep the floor. She felt very useful and happy when she did this. Sometimes, her mom gave her a hug and a cookie as a reward. + +One day, her mom was very busy. She had to cook a big dinner for some guests. She told Lila to be careful and not touch anything in the kitchen. She said there was a bottle of wine on the table that was very special and expensive. She said it was a gift from her friend and she wanted to open it later. + +Lila nodded and said she understood. She went to the living room and started to sweep the floor. She saw some dust under the couch and tried to reach it with her broom. She pushed the broom hard and heard a loud crash. She looked up and saw the bottle of wine on the floor. It was broken and the red liquid was everywhere. + +Lila felt scared and sorry. She knew she had done something bad. She ran to the kitchen and told her mom what happened. Her mom was angry and sad. She said the wine was very precious and now it was gone. She said Lila had to go to her room and think about what she did. + +Lila went to her room and cried. She wished she had listened to her mom and not touched the bottle. She wished she could fix it and make her mom happy again. She wondered if her mom would ever forgive her and give her a hug and a cookie. She hoped so. She loved her mom and wanted to be useful and helpful. She learned a hard lesson that day. +Anna liked cheese very much. She liked to eat cheese with bread, cheese with fruit, cheese with crackers. She liked all kinds of cheese: yellow cheese, white cheese, soft cheese, hard cheese. She always asked her mom for more cheese when she was hungry. + +One day, Anna went to the farm with her mom and dad. They saw many animals: cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, horses. Anna liked to watch them and pet them. She also liked to see how the farmer made cheese from the milk of the cows and sheep. The farmer was very nice and gave Anna a piece of fresh cheese to try. It was warm and tasty. + +Anna wanted to thank the farmer for the cheese. She thought of a way to show him how much she liked it. She raised the cheese high in the air with both hands and smiled. She said, "This cheese is very good! You are a very good cheese maker! Thank you!" The farmer smiled back and said, "You are very welcome, Anna. You are a very polite and attractive girl. I'm glad you like my cheese." Anna felt happy and proud. She gave the farmer a hug and shared the cheese with her mom and dad. They all enjoyed the cheese and the farm. +Anna is a girl who likes to play dress-up. She has many fancy clothes and hats and shoes. She likes to pretend she is a princess or a fairy or a star. + +One day, Anna finds a big box in her room. It is a gift from her grandma. Anna opens the box and sees a beautiful dress. It is pink and shiny and has many flowers on it. Anna is very happy. She puts on the dress and feels very fancy. + +Anna wants to show her dress to her mom and dad. She runs to the living room, where they are watching TV. She says, "Look at me! I am a fancy girl!" But her mom and dad do not look at her. They say, "Shh, Anna, we are watching something important. Go play in your room." + +Anna is sad. She thinks her mom and dad do not like her dress. She goes back to her room and lies on her bed. She cries a little. She does not want to play dress-up anymore. + +But then, she hears a knock on the door. It is her grandma. She comes in and sees Anna lying on the bed. She says, "Hello, my sweet girl. What is wrong?" Anna tells her what happened. She says, "Mom and dad do not like my fancy dress. They do not look at me." + +Grandma hugs Anna and says, "Oh, Anna, they do like your dress. They are just busy right now. They have to watch something important for their work. But they love you very much. And so do I. And I think you look very fancy and beautiful in your dress. Do you want to show me how you play dress-up?" + +Anna smiles and nods. She gets up from the bed and takes her grandma's hand. She shows her all her fancy clothes and hats and shoes. She and her grandma play dress-up together. They pretend they are princesses and fairies and stars. They have a lot of fun. + +Anna is happy again. She thinks her grandma is the best. She says, "Thank you, grandma, for the dress and for playing with me. You are very fancy and nice." Grandma says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are very fancy and sweet. I love you very much." They hug and kiss. They lie on the bed and read a story. They are both happy. +Bella is a cat who likes to be organized. She has a box for her toys, a bed for her nap, and a bowl for her food. She does not like it when things are messy or out of place. + +One day, a new dog comes to live in the house. His name is Max and he is very playful. He likes to run around, bark, and chew on things. He does not care about being organized. + +Max sees Bella's box of toys and thinks they look fun. He runs over and throws them all over the floor. He chases a ball, bites a mouse, and shakes a feather. He makes a lot of noise and mess. + +Bella is very angry. She hisses and runs to Max. She says, "Stop it! Stop it! Those are my toys! You are making a mess! Go away!" + +Max does not listen. He thinks Bella is playing with him. He wags his tail and jumps on her. He says, "Come on! Come on! Let's play! You are fun! I like you!" + +Bella does not like Max. She scratches his nose with her paw and runs away. She hides under the sofa and hopes he will leave her alone. + +Max is sad. He does not understand why Bella does not want to play with him. He thinks she is mean and does not like him. He lies down on the floor and whines. + +The end. +Ben liked to look at things with his microscope. He had a microscope from his dad, who was a scientist. Ben could see tiny bugs, hairs, and dust with his microscope. He thought it was fun and cool. + +One day, Ben found a shiny rock in the park. He wanted to see it with his microscope. He ran home and put the rock on the slide. He turned on the light and looked through the lens. He saw nothing. He moved the slide and looked again. Still nothing. He tried to focus and zoom. Nothing. He was very sad and bored. He thought the rock was broken. + +He was about to give up when he heard a loud noise. He looked up and saw his dad coming in the door. His dad had a big smile and a bag. He said, "Hi, Ben. I have a surprise for you. I got you a new microscope. It's better than the old one. It can see even smaller things. Do you want to try it?" + +Ben was very happy and excited. He said, "Yes, please. Can I use the rock?" His dad said, "Sure. Let's see what's inside." He took out the new microscope and set it up. He helped Ben put the rock on the slide. He turned on the light and looked through the lens. He said, "Wow. Look at that. Do you see it, Ben?" + +Ben looked through the lens and gasped. He saw a bright and beautiful star. It was sparkling and glowing. It was the most amazing thing he had ever seen. He said, "Wow. It's a star. How did it get in the rock?" His dad said, "It's a special rock. It's called a meteorite. It came from outer space. It's very old and rare. I found it in the desert. I wanted to give it to you as a gift. Do you like it?" + +Ben said, "I love it. Thank you, dad. It's the best gift ever. It's not boring at all. It's awesome." He hugged his dad and looked at the star again. He felt happy and curious. He wondered what else he could see with his new microscope. He knew he would never end his adventure. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. Sara sees a big hill with flowers. She wants to go there and pick some. She runs to the hill and starts to climb. + +Ben follows her. He wants to play with her. He runs to the hill and tries to catch her. He is faster than Sara. He grabs her arm and pulls her. Sara falls down and hurts her knee. She feels pain and cries. + +Ben feels sorry and scared. He did not want to hurt Sara. He says sorry and hugs her. He helps her get up and looks at her knee. It is red and has a small cut. He finds a delicate flower and gives it to Sara. He says it is for her knee. + +Sara feels better and smiles. She says thank you and puts the flower in her hair. She hugs Ben and says he is a good friend. They walk back to the park and play some more. They are careful not to hurt each other. They have fun and feel happy. +Sara and Ben were playing with cubes in the park. They liked to stack them and make shapes. Sara had a red cube and Ben had a blue cube. They wanted to make a purple cube, but they did not know how. + +"Maybe we can slide the cubes together and make a purple one," Sara said. + +"Let's try," Ben said. + +They slid the cubes together, but nothing happened. The cubes were still red and blue. + +"That did not work," Sara said. + +"Maybe we need more cubes," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a boy with a yellow cube. He was sitting on a bench, alone. + +"Can we borrow your cube?" Sara asked the boy. + +The boy looked at them and nodded. He was polite and kind. + +"Thank you," Ben said. + +They took the yellow cube and slid it with the red and blue cubes. They made a new shape, but it was not purple. It was orange and green. + +"That is not purple either," Sara said. + +"Maybe we need to mix the colors," Ben said. + +They tried to mix the colors, but they only made a mess. The cubes were dirty and sticky. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Sara said. + +"We should clean the cubes and give them back," Ben said. + +They looked for some water and a cloth. They cleaned the cubes and made them shiny again. They brought them back to the boy. + +"Here are your cubes. We are sorry we made them dirty," Sara said. + +The boy smiled and took the cubes. He was polite and forgiving. + +"That is okay. You can play with them anytime," he said. + +"Thank you. You are very nice," Ben said. + +Sara and Ben learned that they could not make purple with red, blue and yellow cubes. They also learned that they should be polite and respectful to others, and that they should take care of their toys. They made a new friend and had fun. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were doctors and nurses, and they used a toy telephone to call their patients. Lily held the telephone to her ear and said, "Hello, this is Nurse Lily. How are you feeling today?" + +Ben answered, "I'm feeling very sick, Nurse Lily. I have a sore throat and a cough. Can you come and help me?" + +"Of course, I'll be right there," Lily said. She put the telephone in her pocket and ran to Ben, who was lying on the couch. She checked his temperature with a toy thermometer and gave him a toy syringe. "You need some medicine, Ben. This will make you feel better." + +"Thank you, Nurse Lily. You are very kind," Ben said. He pretended to swallow the medicine and smiled. "I think I'm feeling a little better already." + +Lily smiled back and said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are a very brave patient. Now you need to rest and drink some water." + +Just then, they heard their mother calling them from the kitchen. "Ben, Lily, it's time for lunch. Come and wash your hands." + +Ben and Lily got up from the couch and ran to the kitchen. They were very hungry and obedient. They did not forget to take the toy telephone with them. They wanted to return it to their toy box after lunch. They knew their mother did not like them to leave their toys lying around. They also knew that playing with toys was more fun when they shared them and took care of them. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. It looked great. They wanted to try it. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They ran to the slide. They took turns to go down. They had fun. They laughed and shouted. + +But then, the sun went down. It was dark. They could not see well. They were scared. + +"Where is Mom?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. + +They heard a ring. It was a phone. It was Tom's mom. She was looking for them. + +"Tom, where are you?" she asked. + +"We are in the park, on the slide," Tom said. + +"You have to come home now! It is dark and cold. And there is a bad man in the park. He hurts kids. Hurry!" she said. + +Tom and Lily were very scared. They got off the slide. They tried to find the way out. But they could not. The park was big and dark. They heard a noise. It was the bad man. He saw them. He ran to them. He grabbed them. He took them away. They cried and screamed. No one heard them. No one helped them. It was the end. +Lily loved to play with her shells. She had many shells of different colors and shapes. She found them on the beach with her mom and dad. She liked to look at them and touch them. She was very careful with them, because they were fragile. Fragile means they can break easily. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought her shells with her in a bag. She wanted to show them to her friends. She saw Ben and Mia on the swings. She ran to them and said hello. She opened her bag and took out a big shell. It was pink and shiny. She said, "Look at my shell! It is from the ocean. The ocean is very big and blue. It has many fish and plants and shells." + +Ben and Mia looked at the shell. They liked it. They asked Lily if they could hold it. Lily said yes, but she said, "Be careful. It is fragile. Fragile means it can break easily." Ben and Mia nodded. They took the shell and looked at it. They said it was pretty and smooth. They thanked Lily for sharing. + +Then, Lily took out another shell. It was white and spiky. She said, "Look at this shell! It is also from the ocean. The ocean is very deep and dark. It has many rocks and caves and shells." Ben and Mia looked at the shell. They liked it too. They asked Lily if they could hold it. Lily said yes, but she said, "Be careful. It is fragile. Fragile means it can break easily." Ben and Mia nodded. They took the shell and looked at it. They said it was cool and sharp. They thanked Lily for sharing. + +But then, something bad happened. A big dog came running to the swings. It barked and jumped. It scared Ben and Mia. They dropped the shells on the ground. The shells broke into pieces. Lily was very sad. She cried and said, "My shells! My shells are broken! They were fragile. Fragile means they can break easily." + +Ben and Mia felt sorry. They said they were sorry. They said they did not mean to break the shells. They said they were scared of the dog. They said they would help Lily find new shells. Lily stopped crying. She said it was okay. She said she was scared of the dog too. She said she forgave them. She said they were still her friends. + +Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that shells are fragile, but friendship is strong. She learned that friends can make mistakes, but they can also say sorry and help each other. She learned that sharing is good, but sometimes things can go wrong. She learned that the ocean has many shells, but only one Lily. She learned to be happy with what she had. +Tom and Mia liked to play with blocks. They built a big stand with many blocks. It was impressive. They put cars and animals on the stand. They were happy. + +But then Ben came. Ben was not nice. He wanted to play with the blocks too. He did not ask Tom and Mia. He just grabbed some blocks and threw them away.

The cars and animals fell too. Tom and Mia were sad. They cried. + +"Look what you did, Ben!" Mia said. "You ruined our stand!" + +Ben did not care. He ran away. He was mean. + +Tom and Mia hugged each other. They picked up the blocks and the cars and the animals. They decided to build another stand. They hoped Ben would not come back. They were brave. +Anna was a daughter who liked to speed. She had a bike with red wheels and a bell. She rode her bike very fast on the road, and did not stop for anyone. She did not say hello to the people she passed, or sorry to the ones she bumped. She was rude. + +One day, Anna saw a big hill. She wanted to speed down the hill and feel the wind in her hair. She did not look for cars or trucks or buses. She did not listen for horns or sirens or shouts. She just pedaled hard and went down the hill. She was rude. + +But Anna did not see the stop sign at the bottom of the hill. She did not see the car that was coming from the side. She did not hear the brakes or the crash or the scream. She only felt the pain and the fear and the tears. She was hurt. + +The driver of the car was very scared and sorry. He got out of his car and ran to Anna. He called for help and tried to comfort her. He was kind. + +The ambulance came and took Anna to the hospital. Her mom and dad came and hugged her and cried. They were worried. + +Anna learned a lesson that day. She learned that speed is not always fun. She learned that she should be careful and polite and safe. She learned that she was lucky.

They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Anna sees a big puddle with something shiny in it. She runs to it and bends down to look. She sees a small car with wheels and doors. It is red and yellow and has a sticker of a star on it. Anna likes the car. She wants to play with it. + +She reaches for the car, but it is stuck in the mud. She pulls and pulls, but it does not move. She feels sad. She says, "Ben, help me! I want this car, but it is stuck!" + +Ben hears Anna and runs to her. He sees the car and the puddle. He says, "Anna, that is not your car. That is someone else's car. They lost it in the rain. We should not take it. We should fix it and give it back." + +Anna looks at Ben. She says, "But I like it. It is pretty and shiny. Can I keep it, please?" + +Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, Anna. That is not nice. How would you feel if you lost your toy and someone else took it? You would feel sad and angry. We should do the right thing. We should fix the car and find the owner. Maybe they are looking for it. Maybe they are worried. We can make them happy and safe." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers how she felt when she lost her doll and how happy she was when she found it. She says, "You are right, Ben. We should fix the car and give it back. How can we fix it?" + +Ben says, "We can use this stick to dig it out of the mud. Then we can use this cloth to wipe it clean. Then we can look for the owner. Maybe they are in the park. Maybe they have a sign or a picture of the car. Come on, let's do it." + +Anna nods. She says, "OK, Ben. Let's do it. Let's fix the car and give it back. That is the nice thing to do." + +They work together to fix the car. They dig it out, wipe it clean, and make it shiny again. They hold it in their hands and smile. They are proud of themselves. They say, "We did it! We fixed the car! Now let's find the owner!" + +They run around the park, looking for the owner. They ask people if they know who lost the car. They show them the car and the sticker. They hope they can find them soon. They want to make them happy and safe. They are good friends. They are good helpers. They are good kids. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Ben run to the slide. They take turns to slide down. They laugh and have fun. + +Then, they hear a ring. It is Lily's mom. She calls Lily on her phone. "Lily, it is time to go home. Come to the car, please." Lily says, "OK, mom. I am coming." She tells Ben, "I have to go home. Bye, Ben. See you tomorrow." Ben says, "Bye, Lily. Have a good day." + +Lily runs to the car. She hugs her mom. Her mom says, "Did you have fun at the park?" Lily says, "Yes, mom. I played with Ben. We slid on the slide. It was warm and sunny." Her mom says, "That sounds nice. I am glad you had fun. Let's go home and have a snack." Lily says, "OK, mom. I am hungry." They get in the car and drive home. Lily is happy. She likes to play with Ben. She likes to go to the park. She likes to be with her mom. +Lily and Ben like to play in the river. They have a big raft that floats on the water. The raft is orange and has a rope to pull it. Lily and Ben take turns to sit on the raft and pull each other. + +One day, they see a big fish in the river. The fish is shiny and has a long tail. Lily and Ben want to catch the fish. They get on the raft and pull the rope. They follow the fish as it swims. + +"Look, the fish is over there!" Lily shouts to Ben. + +"Let's go faster!" Ben shouts back. + +They pull the rope harder and harder. The raft goes faster and faster. But the fish is too fast. It swims away from the raft. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They stop pulling the rope. They look at the river. They see a big splash. The fish jumps out of the water. It flips in the air. It lands back in the water. + +"Wow, did you see that?" Lily shouts to Ben. + +"That was amazing!" Ben shouts back. + +They smile at each other. They are not sad anymore. They clap their hands. They cheer for the fish. The fish swims away. Lily and Ben wave goodbye. They are happy. They have fun on the raft. +Anna and Ben liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys. One day, they decided to be a princess and a knight. They put on their crowns and swords and went to the garden. + +They saw a big green dragon. It was not a real dragon, but a toy one that their dad had made for them. It had scales and wings and a long tail. It could roar and breathe fire, but only with batteries. Anna and Ben loved their dragon, but they also liked to fight it. + +"Help, help!" Anna shouted. "The dragon is attacking the castle!" + +"I will save you, princess!" Ben said. He ran towards the dragon and swung his sword. He hit the dragon on the nose. The dragon roared and breathed fire. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the dragon cried. "That hurt! Why did you do that?" + +Anna and Ben stopped playing. They looked at the dragon. It was not a toy anymore. It was a real dragon, with real scales and wings and a long tail. It had real tears in its eyes and real smoke in its mouth. + +Anna and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do. They had made the dragon real with their pretend. They had also made it sad and angry. + +"I'm sorry, dragon," Ben said. "I did not mean to hurt you. I was just playing. Can you forgive me?" + +The dragon looked at Ben. It saw that he was sorry. It also saw that he was brave. The dragon liked brave knights. + +"I forgive you, knight," the dragon said. "But you have to be careful. You have to be gentle. You have to be kind." + +"I will, dragon," Ben said. "I will be your friend. Do you want to play with us?" + +The dragon nodded. It smiled.

It was yellow and had stars on it. + +One day, they saw a big rainbow in the sky. It was very pretty. It had many colors. Tom and Lily wanted to see it closer. They took their umbrella and ran to the park. + +They saw a pond in the park. It had ducks and frogs. They also saw something shiny in the water. It was a fish. It was not like other fish. It had scales that glowed. It was a magic fish. + +"Hello, little fish," Tom said. "You are very beautiful. Can we be your friends?" + +The fish smiled. It liked Tom and Lily. It said, "Yes, you can be my friends. But you have to be loyal. You have to keep me a secret. You have to protect me from bad people." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were loyal. They would not tell anyone about the fish. They would visit it every day. They would bring it food and toys. They would play with it under the umbrella. They were happy. The fish was happy.

It has more flowers in it. + +"Hello, lady," Lila and Tom say. + +"Do you like the flower?" the lady asks. + +"Yes, we do!" Lila and Tom say. + +"It is a special flower," the lady says. "It is called a morning glory. It opens in the morning and closes at night." + +"Really?" Lila and Tom say. + +"Yes, really," the lady says. "Would you like to have one?" + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Tom say. + +The lady gives them each a flower. They are happy. They say thank you. + +"You're welcome," the lady says. "Take good care of them. They are lovely, just like you." +Anna and Ben love to play in the park. They like to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they see a new path in the park. It goes into the woods, where there are many trees and flowers. + +"Let's go and see what is there," Ben says. He is brave and curious. + +"I don't know," Anna says. She is nervous and shy. "What if we get lost? What if there are scary animals?" + +"Don't worry, Anna. I will hold your hand. We will be fine," Ben says.

She ran over to see it. "Mom, look! A butterfly!" she said. + +Her mom said, "That's a beautiful butterfly, Lily. It has colorful wings." + +Lily reached out to touch the butterfly, but it flew away. She felt sad and her hands started to tremble. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. The butterfly will come back. Let's go get some butter for our toast." + +They went inside and her mom made toast with butter on it. Lily loved the taste of butter. Her dad came in and Lily noticed that he was bald. "Daddy, why is your head bald?" she asked. + +Her dad laughed and said, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe because I'm getting old." + +Lily giggled and said, "I love you, Daddy." They all sat down and enjoyed their breakfast together. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the rain.

Lily was scared, but she remembered her mommy telling her to be brave. She stood up tall and said, "Hello, doggie!" The dog sniffed her and then ran away. + +Lily felt very proud of herself for being brave. She continued to jump in puddles and have fun in the rain. When she went back inside, her mommy gave her a big hug and said, "You were so brave, Lily!" Lily smiled and felt very happy. +Once upon a time, there was a fish named Nemo. Nemo loved to swim in the ocean with his friends. One day, they saw a big boat with a loud motor.

The woman said, "Sure, come in!" + +The little girl played with the woman for a while, but then she saw a toy on a high shelf. She said, "Can you help me reach that toy?" The woman said, "No, I can't. You have to reach it yourself." + +The little girl tried to reach the toy, but she couldn't. She said, "Please, can you help me?" The woman said, "No, I won't help you." The little girl was sad and went home. + +The next day, the little girl came back to the woman's house. But this time, she brought her dad with her. When they got to the house, they found out that the woman had fallen and hurt herself. She couldn't get up and she needed help. But it was too late.

Timmy was so excited to see the big, shiny planes. + +As they watched the planes take off and land, Timmy noticed a bird flying high in the sky. He wondered if the bird could fly as high as the aeroplanes. His mom told him that the bird was strong, but not as strong as the aeroplanes. + +Later that day, Timmy and his mom went to the park. They saw a kite flying high in the sky. Timmy wanted to fly a kite too, but he didn't have one. His mom told him they could make one at home. They went home and made a kite together.

One day, they decided to go on an adventure in the forest. + +As they walked, Lily's chest started to feel funny. "Teddy, my chest hurts," she said. "I think I need to rest." + +Teddy acted quickly and found a soft patch of grass for Lily to lie down on. "Here, rest on my chest," he said. "It's soft and cozy." + +Lily felt much better and looked up at Teddy. "Thank you, Teddy. You're such a good friend," she said. "Do you want to share my tasty snack with me?" + +Teddy's eyes lit up.

Just then, a friendly mouse came along and saw Max. The mouse knew just what to do. She led Max to a secret underground tunnel where all the animals went to when they needed help. + +There, Max met a wise old owl who gave him a magic potion to drink.

Sara said, smiling. + +"Mmm, this is the best cake ever!" Ben said, smiling too. + +They ate some more cake and then cleaned up the kitchen. They put the rest of the cake on a plate and covered it with a cloth. They wrote a note for Mom and put it next to the cake. + +"Surprise! We made you a cake. We hope you like it. It is delicious. We love you. Sara and Ben." + +They ran to their room and waited for Mom to come home. They were so proud of their cake. They knew Mom would love it too. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found other things, like stones, shells, or seeds. + +One day, they found something unusual. It was long and brown and hard. It looked like a stick, but it had bumps and hairs on it. Tim and Lily wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it is a root," Tim said. "A root is a part of a plant that grows under the ground." + +"Maybe it is a snake," Lily said. "A snake is an animal that slithers and hisses." + +They decided to cut it and see what was inside. They got a pair of scissors from the shed and carefully snipped the end of the thing. They saw a white and juicy flesh, with tiny black dots. + +"It is not a root," Tim said. "A root is not white and juicy." + +"It is not a snake," Lily said. "A snake is not black and dotted." + +They were puzzled. They took the thing to their mom and asked her what it was. + +"It is a ginger," mom said. "A ginger is a spice that we use to cook and bake. It has a strong and sweet smell and taste. It is good for you." + +Tim and Lily smelled the ginger. It was strong and sweet. They tasted the ginger. It was spicy and hot. They liked the ginger. They thanked their mom and went back to the garden. They wondered what else they could find. +Tim and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big picture of a kangaroo on a sign. The kangaroo is brown and has a pouch. + +"Look, a kangaroo!" Tim says. + +"What is a kangaroo?" Anna asks. + +Tim thinks for a moment. He remembers what his mom told him. + +"A kangaroo is an animal that lives far away. It can jump very high and fast. It has a pouch to carry its baby," he says. + +Anna nods. She likes the kangaroo. She points to the sign. + +"Can we go see the kangaroo?" she asks. + +Tim shakes his head. + +"No, we can't. The sign says the kangaroo is in the zoo. The zoo is too far for us. We need a car or a bus to go there," he says. + +Anna feels sad. She wants to see the kangaroo. + +"Maybe we can ask our moms to take us to the zoo someday," she says. + +Tim smiles. + +"That's a good idea. Let's go and discuss it with them," he says. + +They hold hands and run to their moms. They tell them about the kangaroo and the zoo. Their moms listen and smile. + +"Maybe we can go to the zoo next week. We can see the kangaroo and other animals too," one mom says. + +Tim and Anna are happy. They hug their moms and thank them. + +"Can we also see a green animal?" Anna asks. + +"A green animal? Like what?" the other mom asks. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers what she saw in a book. + +"Like a frog. A frog is green and can hop too," she says. + +Tim nods. + +"Yes, a frog is green and can hop. I like frogs. They are funny," he says. + +Their moms laugh. + +"Okay, we can look for a frog too. Maybe we can find one in the pond," one mom says. + +Tim and Anna clap their hands. They can't wait to go to the zoo and see the kangaroo and the frog. They think it will be fun. +Lily liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang to her toys, her mom, her dad, and her cat. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and made-up songs. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a lot of grass. She ran to the grass and started to sing. She sang about the sun, the sky, the flowers, and the bugs. She sang so loud that some birds came to listen. + +But then, Lily saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry, and had a long tail. The dog ran to Lily and barked. Lily was scared. She stopped singing and tried to run away. But the dog was faster. The dog jumped on Lily and knocked her down. Lily fell on the grass and felt helpless. She cried and called for her mom. + +Her mom heard her and ran to her. She saw the dog and shouted. She scared the dog away and picked up Lily. She hugged her and kissed her. She asked her if she was hurt. Lily said no, but she was still scared. Her mom said it was okay, and that the dog was just playful, not mean. She said she was sorry and that she loved her. + +Lily felt better. She hugged her mom and said she loved her too. She said she was sorry for running away. Her mom said it was okay, and that she was brave. She said they could go home and have some cookies. Lily smiled and nodded. She said she wanted to sing again. Her mom said she would sing with her. They walked home, holding hands, and singing. +Lily and her mom went to the market. They saw many things there. They saw fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and flowers. Lily liked the flowers. They were pretty and smelled good. She wanted to pick one, but her mom said no. + +Lily and her mom bought some things they needed. They put them in a big bag. Lily helped her mom carry the bag. It was heavy, but she was strong. She was happy to help her mom. + +They walked back to their car. It was parked far away. Lily was tired and hungry. She asked her mom if they could go home. Her mom said yes, they would go home soon. She said they had to leave the market first. + +They got to their car. Lily climbed in. Her mom buckled her seat belt. She gave her a cracker and a juice box. Lily ate and drank. She felt better. She looked out the window. She saw the market getting smaller and smaller. She waved goodbye to the flowers. + +They drove home. Lily sang a song. Her mom smiled. They got home. Lily ran to her room. She took out her favorite toy. It was a soft bear. She hugged it. She felt comfortable. She was happy to be home. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to study animals. They had many books with pictures of different animals. One day, they found a book about sharks. They were very curious about sharks. They wanted to learn more. + +"Let's go to the zoo and see the sharks," Tom said. + +"OK, but we have to ask our moms first," Mia said. + +They asked their moms and they said yes. They were very happy. They took the bus to the zoo with their moms. They saw many animals, but they wanted to see the sharks the most. + +They came to the big tank where the sharks were. They saw many big and small sharks swimming in the water. They were amazed. They pressed their noses to the glass and watched the sharks. + +"Look, that one has a big mouth and sharp teeth," Tom said. + +"Wow, that one has a long tail and spots," Mia said. + +They were having fun. They did not notice that it was getting dark outside. They did not hear their moms calling them. They did not see the sign that said "Do not touch the glass". + +Tom wanted to see the sharks better. He put his hand on the glass. He felt something move. He looked and saw a crack in the glass. He was scared. + +"Mia, look, the glass is breaking!" Tom said. + +Mia looked and saw the crack too. She was scared too. + +"Tom, let's go, let's go!" Mia said. + +But it was too late. The glass broke and the water rushed out. The sharks came out too. They were angry and hungry. They saw Tom and Mia. They bit them. Tom and Mia screamed. Their moms came and saw them. They screamed too. They tried to help them, but they could not. The sharks ate Tom and Mia. It was very bad. The end. +Anna likes to draw with her crayons. She has many colors and she makes pictures of her family, her friends and her toys. Sometimes she makes a mistake and she wants to change her picture. Then she uses her eraser. Her eraser is pink and soft and it makes the crayon go away. + +One day, Anna was drawing a flower. She wanted to make it yellow, but she picked up a green crayon by mistake. She tried to erase the green, but her eraser was too small. She looked for a bigger eraser, but she could not find one. She was sad and she did not want to draw anymore. + +Then she saw her brother Tom. Tom was playing with his ball. He saw Anna and he asked her what was wrong. Anna showed him her picture and her eraser. Tom said he had a big eraser in his room. He said he would give it to her. He ran to his room and came back with a big eraser. It was blue and hard and it had a spring inside. Tom said it was a special eraser. He said he could make it jump with the spring. He pressed the eraser and it jumped out of his hand. Anna laughed and she wanted to try it too. + +Tom gave the eraser to Anna and showed her how to use it. Anna pressed the eraser and it jumped on her paper. It erased the green and made a funny sound. Anna liked the eraser and she thanked Tom. Tom said he was happy to help her. He said she could keep the eraser. Anna said he was a helpful brother. She gave him a hug and they played with the eraser and the ball. Anna finished her flower and she made it yellow. She gave her picture to Tom and he said it was beautiful. They smiled and they had fun. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big maze made of hay. Sara wants to go inside. Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben. It will be fun. We can find the way out," Sara says. + +"I don't know, Sara. It looks dark and hard. What if we get lost?" Ben says. + +"Don't worry, Ben. I have a plan. We can use this string. We can tie one end to the door and hold the other end. Then we can follow the string back if we need to," Sara says. + +"OK, Sara. I trust you. You are smart and brave. Let's go," Ben says. + +They tie the string to the door and enter the maze. They walk and turn and walk and turn. They see many walls of hay. They hear some birds and bugs. They have fun. + +"Look, Sara. I see a flag. I think it is the end of the maze," Ben says. + +"Good job, Ben. You are right. Let's go and get the flag," Sara says. + +They run to the flag and touch it. They are happy. They have done it. They have found the way out. + +"Wow, Sara. That was amazing. We did it. We are a great team," Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben. We are. And we are still fit. We can run and jump and play some more," Sara says. + +They follow the string back to the door. They untie it and put it in their pocket. They wave to the maze and say thank you. They go to the swings and slide and have more fun. They are friends. They trust each other. They like to play in the park. +Sara and Tom were playing in their room. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a fake radio. They liked to pretend they were news reporters and talk about what was happening outside. + +"Hello, this is Sara and Tom with the weather report," Sara said into the radio. "Today is a sunny day, but there is a big storm coming. It is called a hurricane. It can make a lot of wind and rain and noise. You have to be careful and listen to your parents if they tell you to stay inside." + +Tom nodded and took the radio. "Yes, Sara, that is right. A hurricane is very scary. We have never seen one before, but we have heard stories. Some people say it can break houses and trees and cars. We hope everyone is safe and ready for the hurricane." + +They put the radio down and looked out the window. The sky was still blue and the birds were still singing. They did not see any signs of the storm. + +"Maybe the hurricane is not real," Tom said. "Maybe it is just a fake story, like our radio." + +Sara shook her head. "No, Tom, the hurricane is real. Mom and Dad told us so. They said we have to pack some things and go to Grandma's house. Grandma's house is far away from the water, where the hurricane can't reach us." + +Tom frowned. He did not want to leave his home and his toys. He liked his room and his yard and his friends. He did not like Grandma's house. It was old and dark and smelled funny. + +"I don't want to go to Grandma's house," he said. "I want to stay here and play with you and the radio." + +Sara hugged him. "I know, Tom, I know. But we have to listen to Mom and Dad. They know what is best for us. They love us and want us to be safe. Maybe the hurricane will go away soon and we can come back home. Maybe it will not be so bad after all." + +They heard a loud knock on the door. It was Mom and Dad. They had their bags and coats and hats. They looked serious and worried. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to go," Mom said. "The hurricane is getting closer. We have to hurry." + +Sara and Tom grabbed their radio and followed their parents. They looked back at their house and hoped it would still be there when they returned. They did not know what the hurricane would do. They were scared, but they were also curious. They wanted to see the hurricane for themselves. They wanted to know if it was real or fake. +Ben likes to splash in the bath. He has a cup and a duck. He fills the cup with water and pours it on the duck. The duck goes quack quack. Ben laughs and splashes more. + +Mom comes to the door and says, "Time to get out, Ben. Dinner is ready." Ben says, "No, Mom. I want to splash more." Mom says, "You can splash more tomorrow. Now you need to eat. We have your favorite soup. It is tasty and warm." + +Ben gets out of the bath and dries off. He puts on his pajamas and goes to the kitchen. He sees the soup on the table. It smells good. He sits on his chair and takes a spoon. He blows on the soup and tastes it. It is tasty and warm. He says, "Mmm, thank you, Mom. I like the soup." Mom smiles and says, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you like it." Ben eats his soup and feels happy. He thinks, "I like to splash in the bath and I like to eat tasty soup. I love Mom." +Tom and Anna are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a red shirt. The dog is running and barking. Tom is scared of the dog. He hides behind a tree. + +"Tom, come here!" Anna says. "The dog is harmless. He just wants to play." + +"No, no, no!" Tom replies. "The dog is big and loud. He might bite me." + +Anna walks to the dog. She pets his head and his shirt. The dog wags his tail and licks her face. Anna laughs. + +"See, Tom? The dog is friendly. He likes you too. Come and say hello." + +Tom peeks from behind the tree. He sees Anna and the dog. He sees the dog's shirt. He likes red. + +"OK, OK," Tom replies. "I will try." + +Tom comes out of his hiding place. He walks slowly to the dog. The dog runs to him and sniffs him. Tom is nervous. He touches the dog's shirt. + +"Hi, dog," Tom says. "You have a nice shirt. What is your name?" + +The dog barks. He jumps on Tom and knocks him down. Tom screams. Anna laughs. + +"Don't worry, Tom," Anna says. "The dog is just playing. He is harmless. His name is Rex. He is my uncle's dog. He likes you. He likes your shirt too." + +Tom looks at the dog. The dog looks at him. They both have blue shirts. Tom smiles. + +"Hi, Rex," Tom says. "You are a good dog. I like you too. Can we be friends?" + +Rex barks. He licks Tom's face. Tom laughs. + +"Yes, we can be friends," Tom replies. "You are harmless. You are fun. Let's play." + +Anna, Tom and Rex play in the park. They run and chase and roll. They have a good time. They are happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. It barks loud. + +"Let's go pet the dog!" Tom says. He likes dogs. He thinks they are nice. + +"No, Tom, don't!" Sue says. She is scared of dogs. She thinks they are mean. "The dog can hurt you. It is not our dog. We don't know it." + +Tom does not listen to Sue. He is ignorant. He thinks he has power. He runs to the dog. He tries to touch it. + +The dog does not like Tom. It does not want to be touched. It bites Tom. Tom cries. He is in pain. He is sorry. + +Sue runs to Tom. She helps him. She tells him to be careful. She tells him to listen to her. She tells him to be smart. She is his friend. She knows better. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to count the flowers, the birds and the clouds. They also liked to pretend they were a king and a queen. + +"Look, I am the king of the hill!" Ben said, as he climbed to the top of a small mound. He waved his hand and smiled. + +"And I am the queen of the flowers!" Lily said, as she picked some daisies and made a crown. She put it on her head and twirled. + +They were having fun, until Ben had an idea. He said, "Let's play a new game. Let's see who can spin the most times without falling down. I bet I can spin more than you!" + +Lily agreed. She said, "OK, let's do it. But you have to count how many times you spin, and I will do the same." + +They both started to spin, faster and faster. They counted out loud, "One, two, three, four, five..." + +But soon they felt dizzy. They could not see clearly. They could not count anymore. They stumbled and fell to the ground. + +They lay there for a while, feeling sick. They looked at each other and laughed. + +They said, "That was a silly game. Let's not play it again. Let's go back to being a king and a queen." + +They got up and dusted themselves off. They held hands and walked back to their flowers and hill. They were happy again. +Lila and Tom were very happy. They were going to the festival with Mom and Dad. The festival had many fun things. There were balloons, games, music, and food. Lila and Tom wanted to see everything. + +"Look, Mom, a big clown!" Tom said, pointing to a man with a red nose and funny clothes. + +"Wow, he is funny!" Lila said, laughing at his jokes. + +"Come on, kids, let's go hang our wishes on the tree," Mom said, holding their hands. + +The tree was very special. It had many colorful papers hanging from its branches. People wrote their wishes on the papers and tied them to the tree. Lila and Tom each got a paper and a pen. + +"I wish for a new bike," Tom wrote. + +"I wish for a pony," Lila wrote. + +They hung their papers on the tree and hoped their wishes would come true. + +But then, a mean boy came and saw their papers. He wanted to spoil their fun. He took their papers and tore them into pieces. He threw them on the ground and ran away. + +Lila and Tom saw what he did and cried. They felt very sad and angry. + +"Hey, why did you do that?" Tom shouted at the boy. + +"That's not nice!" Lila said. + +Mom and Dad heard their cries and came to see what happened. They saw the torn papers and the mean boy. + +"That's not how we treat others at the festival," Dad said, scolding the boy. + +"Sorry, sorry, I was just joking," the boy said, looking scared. + +Mom and Dad hugged Lila and Tom and comforted them. + +"Don't worry, kids, your wishes are still in your hearts. And we are very proud of you for being kind and polite," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad. We love you," Lila and Tom said. + +They wiped their tears and smiled. They decided to enjoy the rest of the festival and have fun. They played games, ate cotton candy, and danced to the music. They forgot about the mean boy and the torn papers. They had a wonderful day. +Lily liked to sign with her hands. She learned many signs from her mom and dad, who were deaf. They taught her how to say hello, thank you, hungry, and more. Lily also liked to draw symbols on paper. She had a big box of crayons, but her favorite was black. She used black to make stars, hearts, and letters. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a ball. She wanted to be his friend, so she walked up to him and signed hello. The boy looked at her and frowned. He did not understand her signs. He said, "What are you doing? That's weird. Go away." He threw his ball at her and ran away. + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She ran back to her mom and hugged her. She told her what happened. Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Some people don't know sign language. They don't know how to communicate with us. But that doesn't mean they are right or nice. You are a smart and kind girl. You can make other friends who will appreciate you and your signs." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She saw a girl sitting on a bench, reading a book. She noticed that the book had a black symbol on the cover. It looked like a sign she knew. She asked her mom, "What is that symbol?" Her mom said, "That is the sign for love. It means you care about someone or something." + +Lily felt curious and hopeful. She walked up to the girl and signed hello. The girl looked up and smiled. She signed back hello. She said, "Hi, I'm Anna. I like your signs. Do you know sign language?" Lily said, "Yes, I do. My mom and dad are deaf. I'm Lily. I like your book. What is it about?" Anna said, "It's a story about a girl who learns sign language and makes a new friend. Do you want to read it with me?" Lily said, "Yes, please. That sounds like a nice story." They sat down on the bench and opened the book. They read and signed together. They became friends. Lily was happy. She found someone who understood her and her signs. She signed to Anna, "I love you." Anna signed back, "I love you too." They hugged and smiled. They saw a black star in the sky. It was a sign of their friendship. +Lily loved fairies. She had many books and toys about fairies. She wished she could see a real fairy. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I see a fairy?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Maybe, if you are very good and kind. Fairies like good and kind children. They might visit you in your dreams." + +Lily was very good and kind. She helped mom with the dishes, she shared her toys with her brother, and she said please and thank you. She hoped the fairies would notice her. + +That night, she put on her fairy pajamas and went to bed. She closed her eyes and dreamed of fairies.

Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily was so happy. She nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to play with you. You are incredible. You are the most incredible thing I ever saw." + +Flora took Lily's hand and flew with her around the garden.

Thanks for being my friend. I hope you have sweet dreams," said Lily. + +"Good night, Lily. You're welcome. You're my friend too.

You did not know the dog would come. You were nice to lend me your car. But now your car is ruined too. It was your cool car. You must be sad too." Tom says, "I am sad, Mia. I liked my car. But I like you more. You are my friend. We can share our worry. Maybe we can find new toys." + +Tom and Mia hug. They are still sad, but they are not alone. They are friends. They walk to their moms.

He looked at the sock and laughed. + +"That is my sock!" he said. "I lost it yesterday when I was playing here. I forgot to look for it. Thank you for finding it, Lily!" + +Lily made a face. She did not want to touch Tom's sock. She threw it back into the mud. + +"You can keep it, Tom!" she said. "It is too filthy for me. I do not like socks. I like shiny things." + +Tom shrugged. He did not mind that his sock was filthy. He liked socks. He picked up his sock and put it in his pocket. + +"Maybe I can wash it later," he said. "Or maybe I can use it to make a mud pie.

The water is very cold and you can get sick." + +Sam shook his head. "No, we can't go on the ice. It is not safe. Let's play somewhere else." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the ice and jumped on it. She felt the ice move under her feet. She heard a loud crack. She was scared. + +"Help! Help!" Lily cried. "The ice is breaking!" + +Sam heard Lily and ran to help her. He grabbed a big stick and held it out to Lily. "Grab the stick, Lily! I will pull you out!" + +Lily reached for the stick and held on tight. Sam pulled and pulled. He was strong. He pulled Lily out of the water and onto the land. + +Lily was wet and cold.

I will be more careful next time." + +Sam smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you're okay. Let's go home and get warm. Maybe we can have some hot chocolate and cookies." + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, let's do that. That sounds good." + +They walked home together, holding hands. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with ice and to question before they do something. They also learned to help each other and to say sorry. They were good friends. +Lila and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many birds. Some birds were white and had long necks. Mom said they were swans. Lila and Ben liked the swans. They wanted to feed them. + +"Can we give them some bread, Mom?" Lila asked. + +"No, bread is not good for swans. It can make them sick. We need to buy some seeds from the machine." Mom said. + +Mom took some coins from her purse and put them in the machine. The machine gave her a small bag of seeds. Mom said the seeds were cheap. She gave some seeds to Lila and Ben. + +"Here, you can throw some seeds to the swans. But be careful, don't get too close. They might bite." Mom said. + +Lila and Ben threw some seeds to the swans. The swans came closer and ate the seeds. They made soft noises. Lila and Ben smiled. They liked the swans. + +One swan was bigger than the others. It had a red mark on its head. Lila thought it was the leader of the swans. She wanted to name it. + +"I will call you Ruby, because you have a red mark." Lila said to the big swan. + +The big swan looked at Lila and nodded. It seemed to like its name. Lila felt happy. She had made a new friend. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that looked like a giant. They wanted to go on the slide, but they were scared. + +"Hello, little ones," said the giant slide. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Ben were surprised. The slide could speak! + +"Are you real?" asked Lily. + +"Of course I am real," said the slide. "I am a friendly giant. I like to make children happy." + +Ben was not sure. He thought the slide was fake. He saw a man behind a tree with a microphone. The man was making the slide speak. + +"Look, Lily," said Ben. "The slide is not real. It is a trick. The man is talking for the slide." + +Lily looked and saw the man. She was angry. She did not like to be fooled. + +"That is not nice," she said. "You are a bad man. You should not lie to children." + +The man felt sorry. He came out from behind the tree. + +"I am sorry," he said. "I was just trying to make you laugh.

It belongs to Lila and she likes to wear it. You should not take things that are not yours. Please give it back to her and say sorry." Leo felt sorry and gave the veil back to Lila. He said, "Sorry, Lila. I did not know it was your veil. Can I play with you?" Lila said, "It's okay, Leo. I forgive you. You can play with me, but you have to ask first. Do you want to be a prince or a knight?" Leo said, "I want to be a knight and protect you from dragons!" Lila said, "Okay, let's go to my room and find some swords and shields. But first, let's have some cookies. Mom, are there any available?" Mom said, "Yes, there are. You can have two each, but don't make a mess. And be nice to each other." Lila and Leo said, "Thank you, Mom!" They took some cookies and went back to Lila's room. They played dress-up and had fun. They forgot about the veil and the cape. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big pile of leaves. They run to the pile and jump in. They laugh and have fun. + +Anna finds a glove in the leaves.

What are you doing?" she says. + +Anna and Ben look at the lady. They see that she has only one glove on her hand. The other hand is cold and bare. They feel sorry and ashamed. + +The lady says, "This is my glove. I lost it in the leaves. I was looking for it. It is not yours to take. It is not nice to fight over things that are not yours.

She was about to put her doll in the box, when she heard Mommy's voice. + +"Lily, Ben, where are you?" Mommy called. + +Lily panicked. She did not want Mommy to find her doll.

We don't want any germs on your cut. Germs are bad. They can make you sick." + +She took Lily to the sink and helped her wash her hands. Then she gave her a cookie and a glass of milk. Lily ate the cookie and drank the milk. She said, "Yummy. I like cookies and milk. They make me happy." + +Her aunt said, "I'm glad you are happy, Lily. You are a brave girl. Your cut will heal fast. And you will have a white band-aid to show your friends. They will think you are cool." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I am cool. And you are the best aunt ever. I love you." + +She gave her aunt a big hug and they went to play with her toys. Lily forgot about her cut and had fun. Her aunt was happy too. She loved Lily very much. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. They saw many things in the water, like fish and crabs and seaweed. + +"Look, mom, I found an oyster!" Ben said, holding up a big shell. "Can I open it?" + +"Be careful, Ben, oysters can be sharp and hard to open. Maybe dad can help you," mom said. + +Dad took the oyster from Ben and used a knife to pry it open. Inside, there was a shiny pearl. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so lucky! You found a pearl in your oyster!" dad said. + +"Really? Can I keep it?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, you can. It's a very special gift from the sea," dad said. + +Ben was very happy. He showed his pearl to Lily and mom. They all admired it and said how pretty it was. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud thunder and saw dark clouds in the sky. + +"Oh, no, it's going to rain. We have to pack up and go home," mom said. + +"OK, mom, but can I take my oyster and pearl with me?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben, they are yours. But hurry up, the rain is coming soon," mom said. + +Ben and Lily quickly gathered their things and followed their mom and dad to the car. They drove away from the beach, but Ben still looked out the window and smiled. He held his oyster and pearl in his hand and felt very lucky. He had a great day at the beach. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the snow. They made a big hill and a tunnel for their cars to go up and down. Sam had a red car with a loud engine. Lily had a blue car with a shiny horn. + +"Look at my car, Lily! It can go very fast and make a lot of noise!" Sam said. He pushed his car up the hill and down the tunnel. Vroom, vroom, vroom! + +"That's nice, Sam, but my car is better. It can honk and flash its lights!" Lily said. She pushed her car up the hill and down the tunnel. Honk, honk, honk! + +They played for a while, but then they started to argue. Sam wanted to use Lily's car, and Lily wanted to use Sam's car. They both said, "No, it's mine!" + +They pulled and tugged at each other's cars, but they were too icy and slippery. The cars flew out of their hands and landed in a big pile of snow. + +"Oh no, our cars!" Sam and Lily cried. They ran to the pile of snow and tried to dig out their cars. But they couldn't find them. The snow was too deep and cold. + +They felt sad and sorry. They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry, Lily. I shouldn't have been mean to you. Can we share our cars?" + +They hugged and nodded. They decided to work together to find their cars. They knelt down and scooped the snow with their hands. They found their cars and brushed them off. They were still icy, but they didn't mind. + +They smiled and said, "Let's play together, Sam. Let's play together, Lily. We can take turns with our cars. They are both fun and cool!" + +They pushed their cars up the hill and down the tunnel. Vroom, vroom, vroom! Honk, honk, honk! They laughed and had fun. They were happy and friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to hide and seek. Tom was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran to a big tree and looked for a good spot. She saw a gray stick on the ground. She picked it up and thought it was a good toy. + +She hid behind the tree and held the stick. She waited for Tom to find her. She heard Tom counting. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" Tom said. + +Tom looked around the park. He saw the swings, the slide, the sandbox, and the bench. He did not see Lily. He walked to the big tree and looked behind it. He saw Lily holding the stick. He smiled and said, "I found you, Lily! You have a nice stick!" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I do! It is a gray stick. Do you want to play with it?" She gave the stick to Tom. Tom took the stick and said, "Thank you, Lily! It is a nice stick. Let's play with it!" + +They played with the stick for a while. They pretended it was a sword, a wand, a snake, and a rocket. They had fun with the stick. But then they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big bear. The bear was angry. It wanted the stick. It was its stick! + +The bear ran to Tom and Lily. It growled and showed its teeth. It reached for the stick. Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the stick and ran away. They ran to their mom and dad. They told them about the bear and the stick. Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We are glad you are safe. Next time, be careful with what you pick up. It might belong to someone else." Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We are sorry. We will be careful." They learned their lesson. They never played with the gray stick again. +Tim was a squirrel who liked to search for nuts. He had a big tree where he kept his nuts for winter.

He put on his warm coat and his hat and went down the tree. + +He looked around and saw many trees and bushes, but no nuts. He searched and searched, but he could not find any. He was tired and wet. He wanted to go back to his tree, but he did not know the way. He was lost. + +He started to cry. He wished he had a friend to help him. He felt alone and scared. He heard thunder again and saw a flash of light. He hid under a big leaf and hoped for the sun to come out. + +Then, he heard a noise. He peeked out and saw another squirrel. The squirrel was holding a nut. He looked friendly and kind. He saw Tim and smiled. He said, "Hello, I'm Sam. Are you lost? Do you need help?" + +Tim was surprised and happy. He said, "Hello, I'm Tim. Yes, I'm lost. I was searching for nuts, but I could not find any. And now it's gloomy and scary." + +Sam said, "Don't worry, I can help you. I have many nuts in my tree. You can have some. And I can show you the way back to your tree. Come with me." + +Tim said, "Thank you, Sam. You are very nice. Can we be friends?" + +Sam said, "Of course, we can be friends.

He says he works at the factory. He says he blows the whistle to tell the other workers when to start and stop. + +Sam and Tom think Joe has a cool job. They ask him if they can try his whistle. Joe says yes, but only for a little bit. He says they have to be careful and not blow it too loud or too long. He says the whistle is important and not a toy. + +Sam and Tom take turns blowing the whistle. They feel happy and excited. They make funny sounds with the whistle. They laugh and giggle. Joe laughs with them. He says they are good at whistling. He says they can come back and visit him again. He says he likes having friends. Sam and Tom say thank you and goodbye.

They have a new ball to play with. + +They throw the ball to each other. They laugh and run. The dog watches them. He wags his tail. He wants to play too. But he knows he can't take their ball.

She hugs her back and kisses her. + +"What was that thing?" dad asks. He looks angry and brave. + +"It was a monster, dad," Tim says. He hugs him and kisses him. + +"A monster?" dad says. He shakes his head. He smiles. "There is no such thing as monsters. It was just a normal night. You must have had a bad dream." + +Tim and Jen look at each other. They do not think it was a dream. They think it was real. They think the monster will come back. They do not think it was a normal night. They think it was a terrible night. They do not want to sleep in their room.

She shooed them away and closed the window. She hugged Lila and said: + +"Lila, you were kind to feed the birds, but you should not feed them too much. They will get greedy and rude. They will not share with the other birds. They will not respect your space. You should feed them a little, but not a lot. You should be modest, not wasteful. That is the right way to be." + +Lila nodded and said sorry. She learned her lesson. She still liked to feed the birds, but only a few at a time. She liked to see the sky and the other birds.

"Maybe we can find something fun." + +"OK," Tom says. "But be careful. The tree is very tall and old." + +They walk to the tree and look around. They see a hole in the trunk. They hear a sound from inside. It is a mysterious sound. It is not like a bird or a bug. It is like a whisper. + +"What is that?" Sara asks. "Do you hear it?" + +"Yes," Tom says. "It is a strange sound. Maybe there is a secret in the hole." + +They get closer to the hole and peek inside. They see a shiny thing. It is a necklace with a star. It is very pretty. + +"Wow," Sara says. "Look at this. It is a treasure." + +"Can we take it?" Tom asks. "Maybe it belongs to someone." + +"I don't know," Sara says. "But it is so beautiful. I want to have it." + +She reaches her hand into the hole and tries to grab the necklace. But the sound gets louder and angrier. It is not a whisper anymore. It is a growl. + +"Stop!" the sound says.

She smiles. + +"Wow, Lily, you are brave!" Ben says. + +He grabs the rope and pulls. He wraps the rope around his palm and swings. He feels scared. + +"Help, Lily, I can't swing!" Ben says. + +He swings lower and lower. He can't reach the branch. He can't let go of the rope. He cries. + +"Don't cry, Ben, I will help you!" Lily says. + +She slides down the branch and grabs the rope. She pulls Ben up. She hugs him. + +"It's okay, Ben, you are safe," Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily, you are kind," Ben says. + +They sit on the branch and look at the park. They see birds and flowers and people.

The pool is blue and shiny. Lily and Tom want to bathe in the pool. + +"Can we go in the pool, please?" Lily asks her mom. + +"Sure, but you have to be careful. The pool is deep and you need to wear your floaties," her mom says. + +Lily and Tom put on their floaties. They are heavy and make them float on the water. They splash and kick and have fun. They see some fish and ducks in the pool. They say hello to them. + +"Quack, quack," the ducks say. + +"Hello, ducks. Do you like the pool?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, we do. It is cool and wet.

Fortunately, his mom heard him and she quickly came to his rescue. She caught the missile and stopped it from going any further. + +Jack was safe! He thanked his mom for saving him and vowed never to go near a missile ever again. +Once there was a little girl named Maggie. She loved to go outside and play in the garden. One day, Maggie went for a walk and she spotted something interesting - a pretty tree! She was very excited and she ran up to the tree. She reached out to touch it, but as she did she felt something twist around her arm! It was a long, green vine that had moved around her arm. + +Maggie was a bit scared, but then she noticed something fluffy at the end of the vine. It was a bunny! Maggie was so happy to meet the bunny and she knew it must have been friendly. She said hello, but the bunny was very quiet. + +Maggie smiled, as she knew that the bunny wanted to stay quiet. She said "It's okay. You can be quiet here, it's really pretty!" The bunny nodded and hopped away. Maggie watched it go, feeling happy that it felt safe in her garden. +Jonny was feeling chilly, so he asked his mummy for a blanket. His mummy said they couldn't afford an expensive one, but they could buy a cheap one. They went to the shop and found a blanket - it was just what Jonny wanted. It was soft, snuggly and not too heavy. + +When they got home, Jonny wanted to lay down and wrap himself up in the blanket. He grabbed it, ran to his bedroom and curled up. He felt so warm and snug. He was so happy, he laughed and shouted "YAY!". + +Later in the day, Jonny was feeling tired so he wrapped his blanket around himself again. He lay down on the floor and fell asleep. His mum smiled as she watched him, covered in the cheap blanket, gently snoring. +Once upon a time, there was an old man who was very hairy. He had a large house and printed lots of important papers.

What’s your name?†+ +The child, who was only three years old, looked up at the old man and replied, “My name is Peter.†+ +The old man smiled, and said, “I have something special to show you. Would you like to come with me?†+ +Peter nodded, and so the old man and Peter went back to the old man’s house. Once inside, the old man pointed at a big machine and said, “This machine can print any kind of paper you can imagine. Would you like to see it?†+ +Again, Peter nodded. The old man smiled, and showed Peter how the machine could print. Peter was amazed at all the different kinds of things it could print. + +At the end of the day, the old man said goodbye to Peter, who had a big smile on his face. He knew the old man was a special friend. +Once upon a time there was a little boy called Toby. He was adorable and always curious to explore the world around him. + +One day he saw a magical shining shield in the park. Toby was so excited that he ran to pick it up. His mom saw him and said, "Toby, you must not dare touch it!" But Toby couldn't help himself, he had to see what was so special about it. + +He glanced at his mom, who now posed an even bigger challenge. She declared, "If you dare to touch it, I dare you to take it home only if you can carry it all the way without dropping it." + +Toby looked determined and bravely accepted the dare.

He bit his lip and stumbled a few times but he found a way to make it all the way home with it. + +When Toby arrived, his mom was so proud of him. With a smile on her face, she said, "Oh Toby! You are so adorable! Well done for following through with your dare." + +The End +Once there was an old farmer who had a perfect corn field. Every day he would walk through the field and admire the way the bright yellow corn stalks rustled in the breeze. + +One day, as the farmer was walking through the field, he saw a little white rabbit hopping through the cornstalks. The farmer smiled and said, "What are you doing in my cornfield?" + +The bunny looked up at the farmer, and with a twinkle in her eye said, "I'm looking for a perfect patch of corn to set up my cozy little home." + +The farmer thought this was a splendid idea, so he told the bunny she could pick out wherever she liked.

They argued and argued, but neither one of them could agree. + +Then they heard a loud voice. It came from a big fat man. He said, "I have a solution that'll make both of you happy." He smiled and showed them a big wagon. It had two seats and was sturdy enough for both of them to ride in together! Sam and Emma smiled, grabbed their wagon and happily rode off into the woods. +The sun shone in the sky as Ella and her mommy went for a walk. Ella saw many interesting things, but she was most excited when they stopped at the big, tall building. "What's this place, Mommy?" she asked. + +Mommy smiled and said, "That's the passport office, Ella. We're getting you a passport!" Ella was so excited she jumped up and down. + +The passport office was full of people. As Ella and Mommy waited in line, they chatted with the people around them. One of the people told them they were getting passports for their two children. Ella felt jealous. + +Finally it was Ella's turn and she and Mommy walked up to the counter. Ella seemed nervous, but she answered all the lady's questions. Then, Ella and Mommy got to pick out a special picture for her passport. + +Soon, Ella and Mommy were on their way home with Ella's new passport. Ella was very proud of it and couldn't wait to show it to her friends. +Jack and his mum were walking down the street when they came across a big piece of lumber blocking their way. Jack didn't know what lumber was, but he wanted to check it out. + +"What's that Mum?" He asked. + +Mum pointed towards the lumber and said, "That's lumber. It's too big and bulky for us to move, so we'll have to find a different route around it". + +Jack didn't want to turn back the way they had come, so he looked at the lumber and said, "Maybe I can climb over it!" + +Mum looked unsure and said, "I don't know, Jack. It's very high and kind of clumsy. You could get hurt if you try to climb it". + +Jack thought for a moment before coming up with another idea. "Maybe I could enter it!" He said. + +Mum looked a little worried, but eventually agreed. She helped Jack climb onto the lumber and he slowly made his way across.

He was swinging the cable around and around. +Suddenly, he forgot to be careful and the cable went flying. It landed on the ground far away from him. He started to cry. +His mom came over and hugged him. She said "It's ok, don't worry. We'll find the cable again." So Tommy and his mom went looking for the cable together. +They were glad when they found it. Tommy thanked his mom and hugged her. Then he went back to playing with the cable, being very careful this time. +Once upon a time there was a clock. The clock was very impressive. Every day it would snap to mark the time.

All the people were very sad and angry with the clock. + +They tried to fix it but nothing worked. Finally, they decided to get a new clock. This new clock was very impressive. It snapped every day and everyone was very happy. But it still wasn't the same as the old clock. They all missed the old clock and were very sad that it was gone. +Once upon a time there was a panda who had a big problem. She was always very foolish and she used to ignore her friends. Every day she would sit alone on the hill and stare at the clouds. + +One day, a rabbit hopped up to the panda and said, “Why do you always ignore us? We want to play with you†But the panda just sat there, not even looking at the rabbit. + +The rabbit tried again, “We miss you, panda. Come play with us.†But the panda just ignored the rabbit, not saying a word. + +The rabbit shook his head sadly and hopped away. Suddenly, the panda felt very lonely and sad. Then, the panda realised that being foolish was not the answer. She ran off the hill to find her friends and make up for her foolish behaviour. From that day onwards she was never foolish or ignored her friends again. +Cindy was a 3 year old. One day she was playing in the backyard, when she saw a stranger.

She asked her Mom what to do. + +Her Mom replied, "Emma, not all things in life will be available. You have to learn how to share what you have and nothing will ever be a problem." + +So Emma decided to share the food with her plants and then asked her friends if they had any food for their plants. They were happy to share and soon everybody was able to give their plants some food. + +At the end of the day they all looked at their gardens and they were so happy to see all the bright and happy plants. + +This story teaches us that to have a beautiful and healthy garden, we need to learn how to share what we have with others. +Once there was a humble green frog who hopped near a pond. One day, while he was hopping around, he heard a loud scream coming from the pond. He peeked into the pond and saw a large fish with a mouthful of teeth. The frog asked the fish what happened, but the fish said nothing. + +The frog suspected the fish was hungry and offered him a few of the flies he had been eating. The fish thanked the frog and gobbled the flies up, but he still seemed very upset. + +The frog asked why he was screaming and the fish told him that his family was taken away by a young boy who wanted to keep them for his own. The frog felt so sad for the fish and decided to help. + +Back and forth he hopped, searching for the boy, until he came across a young boy running away with a family of fish. The frog shouted at the boy to stop, but the boy just ran away faster. The frog hopped as fast as he could, but he wasn't fast enough and the boy was gone. + +The frog returned to the pond and the fish were gone. He felt so sad that he could not save the family, and all he could do was sit and cry. He never saw them again and the fish would never come back. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to do naughty things. She was a very mischievous girl who liked to cause trouble. + +One day, the little girl's mother found out about her naughty deeds and knew it was time to punish her. She said sternly, "Little girl, you have been doing naughty things and it's not okay.

The little girl reluctantly stayed in the corner and was frightened by her mother's firm voice. + +After a few minutes, the little girl's mother went to the corner and gently touched the girl's shoulder. Her mother said calmly, "It's time to forgive you now. I know you can do better next time". + +The little girl was thankful to her mother for understanding and forgave her.

He said that the kite was a present from the wind and the sun, and that he had to share it with the other children. The lady was happy to see the kindness of the little boy. + +The moral of the story is that it's always important to share special things with others. We shouldn't buy everything, but rather be mindful and be generous with the people around us. +Once upon a time there lived an old man. He was very wise, and he loved reading the news. + +One day, the old man was reading his newspaper when he saw something strange. He held it up to the light and saw strange markings on it.

They were like a secret message that only he could understand. +Once there was a group of brave animals who lived in a forest. + +They were trusting of each other, which made them feel safe. But then one day, something dangerous happened. + +A big, loud, angry monster arrived and started to hurt the animals.

I can show you around the lake!" said the child with a twinkle in her eyes. The king was hesitant, but the little girl's persistence won him over. + +He removed his shoes and went into the lake with the girl. She showed him the small fish swimming up to the surface and the birds that flew along the beach. All the while, the kind king overcame his shyness and laughed with the joyful little girl. + +When the sun sunk beneath the horizon, the king and the girl bid each other farewell.

He had a very special talent - he could make the most beautiful sound. He liked to sing and whistle throughout the day and all his friends around him enjoyed the sound too. + +One day, the elephant decided he need more space to create more beautiful sounds. He decided to expand his home. He started pushing on the walls of his house to make it bigger. + +The nearby villagers weren't happy about it. They told the elephant that he need to stop because he was making too much noise. + +The elephant thought about it and asked his friends what to do. They told him that maybe he need to find a different way to make sound without making so much noise. + +The elephant tried to make sound with different objects, but it wasn't the same as before. He then realised that he didn't need to change his sound, but he need to change where he made the sound. + +So the elephant moved further away from the village and made beautiful sounds again, without bothering anyone else. + +The moral of the story is that we don't always need to change who we are, but sometimes we need to adjust our actions to fit the needs of those around us. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Fred. He was always curious and wanted to explore the world around him. + +One day, while he was walking in the park, Fred heard a sound he had never heard before. He followed the sound until he came to an old tree. On the tree he saw a beautiful red bird singing. + +"Hello bird!" said Fred.

He found a delicious apple in the nest and the bird said, "This apple is very tasty. If you wait until it's winter, you can pick lots of apples from the tree. Then, when it gets cold, you can have something to warm you up." + +Fred was amazed by the bird's kind advice. He thanked her for her kindness and promised to return for more apples in the winter. + +Sure enough, when winter arrived, Fred picked many apples from the tree. The bird was very pleased to see him and said, "I am so glad you followed my advice. All it takes is one visit to learn something new!" + +The moral of the story is that when we visit new places and make new friends, we open ourselves up to new possibilities. Even if it's just a short visit, you can learn +Once there was a boy named Max. Max wanted to own a pet. He asked his parents if he could have a pet. His parents thought about it for a long time.

The carpet made a loud sound, and then opened up! Emma's eyes lit up with surprise. + +"What was that?" she gasped. She looked inside the carpet and saw a secret staircase! Emma was filled with excitement and curiosity. She quickly ran down the stairs, eager to find out what was at the bottom. +Once upon a time, there was a jolly little root that always wanted to make things to be happy.

It was so excited, it quickly ran up the hill to make something special. + +But when it got to the top, it noticed something strange. There was a mean old bear sleeping up there. The root was so scared it didn't know what to do. It tried to run away but the bear growled and blocked its path. It had no choice but to stay. + +Then the bear spoke in a gruff voice. "I'm the master of this hill!" it said. "You need to make me something special so I can be happy!" + +The root tried to make something but it was so scared it couldn't focus. The bear got angry and shouted louder, "MAKE ME SOMETHING!" + +The root was so alarmed, it suddenly lost all its jolliness. Instead of a happy moment, it was the last thing the poor root ever did. +Once upon a time there was a hero who was trying to solve a big problem. Every day he would try different things but he couldn't work it out. + +One day he was feeling very grumpy so he ran away from his problem. He ran until he came to an old house in the forest. He knocked on the door and a wise old man answered. + +"Hello," said the old man. "What is bothering you?" + +The hero told him his problem and the old man smiled. "What you need is a way to use your brain instead of your feet," he said. "You must use your mind to solve the problem." + +The hero nodded, thanked the old man and went back home. Once he thought it through carefully he was able to solve the problem! + +The moral of the story is to think things through before running away from your problems. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who had to wear a uniform every day. She was sad because all of her friends had different clothes to wear. She asked her mom why she couldn't have new clothes too. + +Her mom replied that the uniform was a special part of being a big girl and she should be proud to wear it. She told her little girl to repeat after her; “I am proud to wear my school uniform.†+ +The little girl smiled and said the words out loud. She remembered this every time she put on the uniform - again and again. With time, her sadness turned into pride and she no longer wanted different clothes. She was so proud of her uniform. + +The moral of the story is that when you repeat something enough it can eventually become true. When we remember to focus on the things that make us proud, our gloomy days will soon be replaced with days full of joy. +Once upon a time, there was a pretty little girl named Pippa. One day, Pippa ran into the meadow and saw a king and his horse. Pippa was very excited and went to greet him. + +"Hello King!"

The King was very pleased and he thanked her and said he would always remember her hug. + +Pippa smiled and said goodbye to the King before she went back home. + +Since then, Pippa always remembers that a hug can make someone feel special. Even a King was happy with her hug. From that day onwards, Pippa hugs everyone with a warm and happy heart. +Mum and Dad took me to the park. I saw an aeroplane flying in the sky.

The aeroplane was still flying high and it was amazing! +Once upon a time, there were two friends who liked to go for walks together. One day, they decided to explore a different part of the forest. As they walked, they heard a gentle sound coming from the top of a tall chimney. + +"What's that sound?" one of the friends asked. + +The other friend replied, "It sounds like a gentle chimney!" + +So they decided to climb the chimney to find out what was making the sound. When they reached the top, they were surprised to see a little bird perched on the chimney's edge. + +The bird was chirping happily and the friends listened for a few moments. + +"Hello little bird," one of the friends said in a gentle voice. + +The bird looked at them friendly and said, "Hello friends!" + +The two friends smiled and took a moment to listen to the bird's gentle singing. + +When they were ready to go, the friends said goodbye to the little bird. + +They waved farewell and continued on their way, feeling excited that they had discovered the source of the gentle chimney sounds. +Once upon a time there was a small tap.

I am far too small to sort the water.†Lily said, “It's okay. I will find a way.†+ +She searched around the tap and soon she found a bowl.

So, Molly and her mom got to work. They dug a hole and planted a pretty pink flower in the middle of the hedge. When they were done, the hedge was even brighter and more beautiful. + +Molly smiled and said, "Now I can see the flower every day when I'm playing in the yard." Molly's mom smiled too, then said, "Maybe you can use the hedge to hide something special. I'm sure you'll think of something." + +Thinking hard, Molly ran her hand along the hedge, feeling the warmth of the sun on her skin. Then she smiled to herself and said, "I know exactly what I want to do with the hedge! I'm going to hide my favorite toy inside--my secret will be safe!" + +At last, Molly had something special to hide in the hedge. From that day on, every time Molly passed by the hedge, she knew her secret was safe and she smiled. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lucy.

The fox was very tight against the rock and wouldn't let go. Joe got scared and quickly jumped away. + +The moral of this story is that it's important to think before you trade. If something doesn't feel right, don't do it. Always make sure you know what you're getting yourself into! +Once there was a famous puppy that everyone loved. The puppy was very happy and playful. One day, the puppy saw a stranger bring a basket of treats to the park. The puppy was so excited! + +The puppy asked the owner, "Can I have some treats?"

Then, she packed the radio and headed out the door. + +The boy watched her go, but he felt brave. He waved goodbye and promised to listen to his radio until she returned. +Once there was a man called Joe. He loved to stand on stage and make people laugh. Everywhere he went, people laughed and enjoyed his show. + +One day Joe was performing in a park. There was a very nosy crow watching him. As Joe did his silly tricks, the crow cawed and cawed. It wouldn't stop! Joe finally stopped his show and said, "Stop that, crow! Don't be so nosy!" + +The crow flew down and said, "But why shouldn't I be nosy? Don't you like to be nosy too?" + +Joe laughed and said, "That's true! But there is a time and place to be nosy. It's best to be nosy on your own time and not while someone else is performing." + +The crow took Joe's advice to heart and watched the show quietly. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to be respectful. Being nosy may be fun, but it shouldn't be done when someone else is performing. One should be mindful and only be nosy on one's own time. +One day, there was a village and all the people were very independent. They could do whatever they wanted and never asked for help. + +A few days later, it began to rain and it kept raining until the village was flooded. Everyone was scared and they all ran to the highest nearby hill. + +Some of the people started to cry, but one of the older people in the village told them to stay calm and independent. + +“Remember,†the old man said, “we are independent and will find a way out of this.†The people in the village felt hopeful after hearing his words. + +After some days, the flood finally stopped and the people of the village all got back together.

Inside the cottage was an old man. + +The old man saw the chicken and exclaimed, “What are you doing here?†+ +The chicken said, “I was just running.†+ +The old man said with a smile, “Well, why don't you stay here with me? You can keep running around my garden.†+ +So, the chicken stayed and every day she ran around the garden with the old man watching her. They became friends and were very happy! +Once upon a time, there was a little boy called Joe. Joe was very stubborn and liked to do things exactly his way. One day, Joe came across a big suitcase on the sidewalk.

You can’t just read someone else's stuff!†+ +But, Joe didn’t listen. He was too stubborn and was determined to read the suitcase. He opened the suitcase and found a lot of books inside. He was so happy and he started to read the books right away. + +His mom was so proud of Joe, and realized he was too stubborn in a good way. Joe read the books all day and was so proud of himself! +One day, Joe decided to go to the lake. When he arrived, he saw a net. He knew it was dependable.

I'm so sorry," cried out Lily. + +Just then, her parents hopped over and noticed that the fragile flower was broken. + +Her father smiled at her, "It's okay Lily. I think this is a good lesson. Things can be broken easily, so it is important we remember to always be careful when we go places!" + +From then on, Lily was extra careful when she went around the gardens. She was always more gentle with the fragile things. + +The moral of the story is that we should always be careful and gentle with our surroundings. +Tommy was very excited because he was going to borrow his sister's lily today.

So, he lifted up the lily and ran away with it. + +Lily screamed, "Tommy, come back with my lily!" But Tommy ignored her. He ran faster and faster, holding the lily tightly. + +But Tommy was feeling too dizzy. Suddenly, he stumbled and he fell to the ground. The lily broke into pieces. + +Tommy was so sad. He had wanted to borrow his sister's lily, but now it was broken. He picked up the pieces and he carried them back to Lily.

Maddie was so excited that she immediately began to look for things to decorate. + +Maddie first spotted the empty freezer and had an idea. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I use decorations to decorate the freezer?" + +Her mom smiled and replied, "Sure Maddie. That is a really creative idea.

He was meowing at the door, trying to get in, and the neighbor was scolding him. + +The little girl watched from around the corner, and when her nosy neighbor finally opened the door, she made a dash for the vest. But when she got there, the nosy cat beat her to it again! + +The neighbor saw the little girl and told her off for being nosy. The little girl was sad at first, but then she realized that the nosy cat had won. She was sad it wasn’t her vest, but happy she had made a guess. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Ava. She loved her daddy very much. One day, her daddy had to go away. He told Ava he had to take a trip in the sky. On a big airplane, he was going to an airport very far away. + +He kissed her goodbye and said he would be back soon. Ava was sad but she smiled and waved goodbye. She watched as her daddy got smaller and smaller until she could not see him anymore. + +Days and weeks went by. Finally one day, there was a knock at the door. Ava looked out the window and saw a tall strange man. She ran outside and hugged the man tight. It was her daddy! + +But the man was sad. He told Ava that he was not coming back ever again.

Play with me!" + +Her sister giggled and said "No, this isn't a game for the crib. It's a game for the living room." She grabbed Thea's hand and started to lead her away. + +Thea got annoyed. She pulled her hand away and said "No! I wanna stay in my crib!" + +Her sister smiled and said "Ok, if you're so sure. I'll just have to tease you here then!" + +Thea was embarrassed. She tried to run away, but her sister chased her around the room, singing and laughing. + +After a while, Thea couldn't take it anymore. She jumped in the crib and buried her head in the blankets.

She was happy that her sister wasn't teasing her anymore. +Once there was a humble farmer who lived at the edge of the village. He had a field filled with wheat and he was very proud of it.

Nothing they did could get the box and all its items back the way it was. After lots of tears, the 3 year old gave up and went to get a broom and started to clean up the mess. They were so sad to see all their happy things gone. The bad ending made them very unhappy. +Once upon a time there lived an ancient squash.

One day, a quarrel broke out between the squash and a fierce cloud. + +"You will have to leave," shouted the cloud. + +The squash thought hard then replied, "No, I'm staying right here!" + +The cloud rumbled angrily. It unleashed lightning and thunder, but the squash was not scared. It kept its ground. + +Finally, the cloud left but had warned the squash that it would be back. The ancient squash remained in the sun and was never bothered by the cloud again. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Daisy. Daisy loved to paint.

She asked her mom, "Why does the handle feel uncomfortable?" +Her mom said, "That's because it's not meant for you. It's for bigger people." + +The little girl thought for a moment, and then she had an idea. She looked for a small box to stand on, so she could reach the handle. When she found a box, she put it under the handle and climbed up. She gave the handle a try again, and this time it felt just right. + +The little girl was so happy that she could now play with the handle.

"Don't eat the poison, Daisy!" Jimmy urged Daisy. +But Daisy was still worried that she couldn't resist it. + +Jimmy saw how conflicted Daisy was, so he suggested an idea. He said, "Let me take the poison away from you, then you won't be tempted." + +So Daisy was saved from eating the poisonous plant. From that day on, Daisy remembered Jimmy's advice and never ate anything that could make her sick. +Once upon a time, there was a small girl named Emma. She loved to explore and every day she went outside to see what there was to find. + +One day as she was walking, Emma noticed a spike on the ground. She stopped and looked at it for a few moments thoughtfully. She wondered how the spike could have gotten there. + +Just then, she heard a voice coming from nearby. It was her mum. + +"What do you have there, Emma?", asked her mum. + +Emma replied, "It's a spike, mum". + +Her mum smiled. "Let's leave it there and pause for a moment so we can think about why it's here". + +So they paused together, looking at the spike curiously.

They were very pleased with their work and smiled. + +"Let's make this reef even prettier," Anna said, and she took some shells from her pocket and put them around the reef. + +Jack and Anna were very proud of themselves, and when they stepped back to look at it, they couldn't believe how beautiful their reef was. + +The two friends laughed, hugged each other and went back to playing on the beach. +John and his family were walking in the park. John saw a beautiful statue of a cow. He pointed and said, "Wow!" + +John's mom smiled and said, "John, that is a statue. It doesn't move because it is made of metal and stone." + +John said, "Can I work and make a statue too?" + +John's dad said, "No, it's too hard to make a beautiful statue like that. You can draw a picture of it though." + +John thought for a minute and then said, "I know! I'm going to climb the statue and give it a big hug!" + +John's mom said, "John, don't be naughty. That statue is not for climbing." + +John said, "Okay, I won't climb it. But I will make a big hug for it with my hands!" + +John's dad smiled and said, "That would be wonderful. You could even make a few more and give them all big hugs." + +John smiled and said, "That seems like a lot of work, but I will do it!" + +So John worked hard until he had made four big hugs for the statue. When he finished, he proudly showed them to his family and said, "Look at all my hard work!" + +Everyone smiled and said, "Well done, John!" +The air was strong and salty at the harbor. It always made Lydia feel strong, too. She loved to spend time there. Today, someone special was coming. + +Lydia watched as the boat drifted closer. Suddenly, Mister Miller hopped out. "Lydia! It's so good to see you again," he smiled. "I've missed you." + +Lydia smiled back. "I've missed you, too, Mister Miller," she said. + +Mister Miller asked if Lydia was ready for the surprise he had brought. She nodded and said yes. He opened a bag full of seashells. "Take one and make a wish!" he said. + +Lydia took a shell and made a wish. She wished that she could stay forever at the harbor. As she thought of her wish, far away clouds darkened the sky. It started to rain. + +"Looks like the harbor is saying goodbye to us," said Mister Miller. Lydia was sad. Even though she was sad, she also felt strong. She would miss this special harbor, but one day she promised to come back here again. +Once upon a time there was a little girl, who was only three years old. She had a lot of questions about the world and asked her mum many things. + +One day, the little girl asked her mum, “Mummy, what’s a potato?†Her mum smiled and explained, “A potato is a round and light vegetable. It has a brown skin on the outside, and when you cut it open you can see creamy white insides.†+ +The little girl was intrigued. She imagined what this light and round vegetable would look like. + +She thanked her mum, and asked more questions. She wanted to know how to cook a potato.

He knew just where to go. In the hallway he saw his sister's bright red umbrella.
