+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big cooler near a bench. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe there are snacks or drinks in there," Lily said.
+
+"Let's go and look," Max said.
+
+They ran to the cooler and opened the lid. They saw a lot of ice and some cans. They grabbed two cans and tried to open them.
+
+"Ouch, this is hard," Lily said.
+
+"Let me help you," Max said.
+
+He pulled the tab on his can and it popped open. But it was not a drink. It was a spray can. It sprayed paint all over his face and clothes.
+
+"Ah, what is this?" Max screamed.
+
+Lily laughed. She thought it was funny. She opened her can and it was also a spray can. She sprayed paint on Max too.
+
+"Stop it, stop it!" Max cried.
+
+But Lily did not stop. She thought it was a game. She sprayed more paint on Max and on the cooler and on the bench.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing? That's my cooler and my paint!" the voice said.
+
+They looked up and saw a man. He was angry. He had a big hat and a big beard. He was holding a brush and a bucket.
+
+He was a painter. He was painting the fence around the park. He had left his cooler and his paint cans on the bench while he worked.
+
+He walked towards Lily and Max. He looked very scary.
+
+Lily and Max were scared. They dropped the cans and ran away.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned not to touch things that are not theirs. They learned not to spray paint on people and things. They learned that some things are not funny. They learned that some people are not nice. They learned to be sorry.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with trucks in the yard. They had many trucks of different colors and sizes. They made noises like vroom and beep when they moved the trucks.
+
+One day, a big boy came to the yard. He saw Tim and Sam's trucks and wanted to take them. He said, "These are my trucks now. You can't have them. Go away." He grabbed a red truck and a blue truck and ran away.
+
+Tim and Sam were fearful. They did not want to lose their trucks. They loved their trucks. They said, "No, those are our trucks. They belong to us. Give them back." They ran after the big boy and tried to get their trucks.
+
+The big boy was faster and stronger. He pushed Tim and Sam to the ground and laughed. He said, "You are too small and weak. You can't stop me. I have your trucks and you have nothing." He ran away with the trucks.
+
+Tim and Sam were sad and angry. They cried and hugged each other. They said, "We want our trucks back. They are ours. We need them. They make us happy." They wished the big boy would come back and be nice. They wished they had a bigger friend to help them. They wished they had their trucks.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to dream. She dreamed of many things, like flying in the sky, playing with animals, and eating ice cream. Sometimes she dreamed when she was awake, and sometimes she dreamed when she was asleep.
+
+One night, Sara had a very strange dream. She dreamed that she was in a big pink toilet. The toilet was so big that she could sit inside it and splash the water. The water was warm and bubbly, and it smelled like flowers. Sara thought it was fun to be in the pink toilet, and she laughed and sang.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was the toilet flushing. Sara was scared and tried to get out, but the water was too strong. She felt herself going down and down, and she screamed for help. She wanted to wake up from the dream, but she could not.
+
+Suddenly, she felt someone shaking her. It was her mom. She opened her eyes and saw her mom's face. She was in her bed, not in the toilet. Her mom said, "Sara, wake up. You had a bad dream. It's okay, I'm here. You need to go to the toilet, honey. You wet the bed."
+
+Sara felt ashamed and sorry. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I dreamed I was in a pink toilet, and it flushed me away. It was scary."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Sara. It was just a dream. Dreams are not real. They can't hurt you. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and change your clothes. Then we can cuddle and read a story. I love you, Sara."
+
+Sara felt better and said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for helping me. Can we read a story about unicorns? I like unicorns. They are pink and pretty, and they don't flush me away."
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Sure, Sara. We can read a story about unicorns. They are pink and pretty, and they are your friends. Come on, let's go."
+Anna liked to walk with her mom to the library. She liked to see the books and the pictures. She liked to hear the stories that the librarian read. She liked to make new friends with the other kids.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big book on a shelf. It had many pages and many words. She wanted to know what it was. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is this book?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "This is a dictionary, Anna. It is a book that tells you what words mean. You can use it to learn new words and how to spell them."
+
+Anna was curious. She opened the book and looked at the pages. She saw words that she knew, like cat and dog and sun. She also saw words that she did not know, like xylophone and zebra and quill. She pointed at them and asked her mom, "What are these words?"
+
+Her mom told her what they meant and how to say them. She said, "A xylophone is a musical instrument that makes sounds when you hit it with sticks. A zebra is an animal that has black and white stripes. A quill is a feather that people used to write with a long time ago."
+
+Anna was amazed. She liked to learn new words and new things. She said, "Mom, can we take this book home? I want to read more words and learn more things."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Of course, Anna. You can borrow this book from the library and keep it for a while. I am happy that you love to read and learn. You are a smart and curious girl."
+
+Anna was happy too. She thanked her mom and the librarian. She walked home with her mom, holding the dictionary in her arms. She could not wait to read more words and learn more things. She thought, "This is the best book ever."
+Lily liked to draw with her pen. She had a large pen that was red and blue. She drew flowers and stars and hearts on her paper. She was happy.
+
+But Tom wanted her pen. He did not have a pen. He had a crayon that was small and brown. He did not like his crayon. He wanted Lily's pen.
+
+He went to Lily and said, "Give me your pen. I want your pen. Your pen is better than my crayon."
+
+Lily said, "No, this is my pen. You have your crayon. Go away."
+
+Tom was angry. He grabbed Lily's pen and ran away. Lily was sad. She cried.
+
+Lily's mom heard her cry. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily's paper and Tom's crayon. She saw Tom with Lily's pen.
+
+She yelled, "Tom, give back Lily's pen. That is not yours. That is very bad."
+
+Tom was scared. He dropped Lily's pen and said, "Sorry, sorry, sorry."
+
+Lily's mom gave Lily her pen and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. You can draw again. I'm proud of you for sharing your pen."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+She drew a big heart and wrote, "Mom" inside. She gave it to her mom. Her mom was happy. They hugged again.
+Anna loves hockey. She likes to watch hockey on TV with her dad. She likes to see the players skate fast and hit the puck. She wants to play hockey too, but hockey is expensive. She needs skates, a stick, a helmet and pads.
+
+One day, her dad takes her to a store. He says, "Anna, I have a surprise for you. I saved some money and I want to buy you something." He shows her a pair of skates. They are pink and shiny. Anna is very happy. She hugs her dad and says, "Thank you, dad! You are the best!"
+
+They go to the cashier and pay for the skates. Then they go to the park, where there is a frozen pond. Anna puts on her skates and her dad helps her stand up. He holds her hand and says, "Don't worry, Anna. I will support you. You can do it." He teaches her how to glide, how to turn, how to stop. Anna feels proud. She smiles and says, "I love hockey, dad! And I love you!"
+Tommy loved cookies. He was very eager to eat them. He saw a big jar of cookies on the table. He wanted to get them, but he was too small. He saw a chair near the table. He had an idea.
+
+He pushed the chair to the table. He climbed on the chair. He reached for the jar. He grabbed it with both hands. He was happy. He opened the jar. He saw many cookies inside. He smiled.
+
+But then, he heard a loud noise. It was his dog, Spot. Spot saw the cookies too. He wanted to eat them. He ran to the table. He jumped on the chair. He bumped into Tommy.
+
+Tommy lost his balance. He fell off the chair. He lay on the floor. He was hurt. He cried. The jar fell too. It broke into pieces. The cookies scattered everywhere. Spot ate some of them. He was happy. He wagged his tail.
+
+Tommy was sad. He had no cookies. He had a broken jar. He had a sore head. He wished he had listened to his mom. She had told him not to touch the cookies. She had said they were for later. She had said she would give him one after dinner. He was sorry. He learned his lesson. He hoped his mom would forgive him.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big package outside their door. They wondered what was inside. They asked their mom if they could open it.
+
+Mom said, "No, this is not for us. This is for our neighbor, Mr. Lee. He is not home now, so we have to keep it safe for him. Do not touch it, please."
+
+But Ben and Lily did not listen. They were curious and bored. They thought it would be fun to open the package and see what was inside. They sneaked outside and ripped the tape and paper. They opened the box and saw a lot of clothes.
+
+They laughed and said, "These are silly clothes! Look at this hat and this shirt and this tie! They are so old and ugly! Let's try them on and pretend to be Mr. Lee!"
+
+They put on the clothes and ran around the yard. They made funny faces and voices. They did not see that Mr. Lee had come back and was watching them. He was very angry and sad. He said, "Hey, what are you doing with my clothes? These are not silly clothes, these are special clothes. They belonged to my father, who passed away. He gave them to me as a gift. They are very precious to me. How could you be so rude and disrespectful?"
+
+Ben and Lily were shocked and scared. They realized they had done something very bad. They took off the clothes and said, "We are so sorry, Mr. Lee. We did not know. We were just bored and curious. We did not mean to hurt you or your clothes. Please forgive us."
+
+Mr. Lee sighed and said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn to respect other people's things. You cannot just take and open and play with something that is not yours. You have to ask first and be polite. You have to think about how others would feel. You have embarrassed yourselves and me. You have to apologize and make it up to me."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We are sorry, Mr. Lee. We will apologize and make it up to you. We will help you fix the package and the clothes. We will also do some chores for you. We will not do this again. We have learned our lesson."
+
+Mom heard everything and came outside. She was also disappointed and sorry. She said, "Ben and Lily, you have made a big mistake. You have disobeyed me and hurt Mr. Lee. You have to face the consequences and be responsible. I hope you have learned your lesson. You have to be more careful and respectful and kind."
+
+Ben and Lily said, "We have learned our lesson, Mom. We are sorry. We will be more careful and respectful and kind."
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not touch or open things that are not yours without permission. Respect other people's things and feelings. Be polite and honest and apologize when you make a mistake.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has a sign that says "Popcorn". Anna and Ben love popcorn. They run to the truck and ask for some.
+
+"Hello, can we have some popcorn, please?" Anna says.
+
+"Sure, here you go. That will be one dollar each," the man in the truck says.
+
+Anna and Ben give the man two dollars. They take their popcorn and sit on a bench. They are very happy. They start to eat their popcorn.
+
+But something is wrong. The popcorn does not taste good. It tastes sour. Anna and Ben make a face.
+
+"Yuck, this popcorn is sour. I don't like it," Anna says.
+
+"Me neither. It hurts my tongue. Why is it sour?" Ben says.
+
+They look at the sign again. The sign says "Popcorn with lemon". They did not see that before. They do not like lemon on their popcorn. They want sweet or salty popcorn.
+
+They go back to the truck. They call the man.
+
+"Excuse me, sir. We don't like this popcorn. It is sour. Can we have a different one?" Ben says.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. This is the only popcorn I have today. It is a special flavor. Some people like it, some don't. You can keep it or throw it away. I can't give you your money back," the man says.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They wasted their money on sour popcorn. They do not want to eat it or keep it. They throw it away in a trash can. They walk away from the truck.
+
+"Let's go play on the swings. Maybe that will make us feel better," Anna says.
+
+"OK. Maybe next time we will find a better popcorn truck," Ben says.
+
+They hold hands and go to the swings. They try to forget about the sour popcorn. They hope to find some sweet or salty popcorn soon. They are still friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Anna has a birthday. She invites Ben to her party. She gives him a card with a smile.
+
+Ben is happy. He wants to give Anna a present. He looks for a perfect gift. He finds a big teddy bear. He hugs it and says, "Anna will love you."
+
+But when he goes to the party, he sees something bad. Anna has a new friend. Her name is Lily. She has a pink dress and a bow in her hair. Anna and Lily play with dolls and cars. They do not see Ben.
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He wants to play with Anna. He walks to Anna and Lily. He says, "Anna, this is your present. I brought you a teddy bear."
+
+Anna looks at Ben. She does not smile. She says, "Thank you, Ben. But I do not need your teddy bear. I have Lily. She is my best friend. You can go away."
+
+Ben is shocked. He feels a tear in his eye. He drops the teddy bear and runs away. He cries and cries. He thinks, "Anna is mean. She does not like me anymore. She broke my heart."
+Sam likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them race on the floor and see which one is the fastest. He thinks his red car is the best because it always wins.
+
+One day, his mom tells him it is time to bathe. Sam does not want to bathe. He wants to play with his cars more. He says no to his mom and runs away. He hides under his bed with his red car. He thinks his mom will not find him there.
+
+But his mom is smart. She knows where Sam is. She comes to his room and looks under the bed. She sees Sam and his red car. She says, "Sam, you have to bathe. You are dirty and smelly. If you bathe, I have a surprise for you. A new car for your collection. A blue car that is faster than your red car."
+
+Sam is curious. He likes surprises. He likes new cars. He wonders if the blue car is really faster than his red car. He decides to bathe. He comes out from under the bed and follows his mom to the bathroom. He puts his red car on the sink and gets into the tub. He washes his hair and his body with soap and water. He splashes and sings. He has fun.
+
+When he is done, he dries himself with a towel and puts on his pajamas. He goes back to his room and looks for his surprise. He sees a shiny blue car on his bed. It has a big number one on it. It looks very fast. He picks it up and smiles. He thanks his mom and gives her a hug. He puts the blue car next to the red car and makes them race. He sees that the blue car is faster than the red car. He is happy. He has a new car and a new friend. He thinks bathing is not so bad after all.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big maze made of corn in the farm next to their house. They wanted to explore it, but they were scared of getting lost.
+
+"Let's go in, Lila. It looks fun," Ben said.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. It looks hard. What if we can't find the way out?" Lila said.
+
+"We can set some stones on the ground to mark our path. Then we can follow them back," Ben said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful and stick together," Lila said.
+
+They took some stones from the road and entered the maze. They saw many twists and turns, and some animals hiding in the corn. They set a stone every time they made a choice. They had fun, but they also felt nervous.
+
+After a while, they saw a bright light at the end of the maze. They ran towards it, hoping it was the exit. But when they got there, they saw a big scarecrow with a scary face and a loud voice.
+
+"Boo! Go away! This is my maze!" the scarecrow shouted.
+
+Lila and Ben were very scared. They wanted to run away, but they didn't know which way to go.
+
+"Ben, what do we do?" Lila cried.
+
+Ben looked at the scarecrow and saw that it was not real. It was just a doll with a speaker and a battery. He had an idea.
+
+"Lila, don't be afraid. It's not a real monster. It's just a trick. Look, I'll show you," Ben said.
+
+He picked up a stone and threw it at the scarecrow. The stone hit the speaker and broke it. The scarecrow stopped shouting.
+
+"See? It's just a toy. Someone set it here to scare us. But we are brave. We can get out of the maze," Ben said.
+
+Lila felt better. She hugged Ben and thanked him.
+
+"You're right, Ben. You're very brave. And smart. And kind. I'm glad you're my brother," Lila said.
+
+They looked around and saw the stones they had set on the ground. They followed them back to the entrance of the maze. They were happy and proud. They had faced their fear and solved the problem.
+
+They learned that sometimes things are not what they seem, and that they can overcome challenges with courage and teamwork. They also learned to respect the farmer's property and not to enter the maze without permission. They went home and told their mom and dad what happened. They were proud of them too.
+Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make soup with water and toys. Lily turned on the faucet and filled a big pot with water. Max added some cars and blocks to the pot and stirred with a spoon.
+
+"Look, our soup is ready!" Max said. "Let's taste it!"
+
+He grabbed a cup and poured some water from the pot. But he was not careful and spilled some water on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "You made a mess! Mom will be mad!"
+
+She ran to get a towel and tried to wipe the water. Max felt bad and wanted to help.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I didn't mean to spill the water. Can I help you clean it?"
+
+Lily looked at him and smiled. She saw that he was sorry and wanted to be nice.
+
+"Thank you, Max," she said. "That's very polite of you. Here, you can use this towel."
+
+They worked together and cleaned the water. Then they turned off the faucet and put away their toys. They were happy that they had fun and fixed their mistake.
+
+"Mom, we made soup!" they said when their mom came to the kitchen. "But we cleaned everything, don't worry!"
+
+Their mom hugged them and praised them for being polite and responsible. She said they could have some real soup for lunch. Lily and Max were proud and hungry. They enjoyed their soup and shared their stories.
+Lily liked to look for insects in the garden. She had a jar with holes in the lid, and a net to catch them. She was very enthusiastic about insects. She wanted to learn their names and colors and shapes.
+
+One day, she saw a big, green insect on a flower. It had long wings and a long nose. It looked like a tiny airplane. Lily ran to catch it with her net. She was careful not to hurt it. She put it in her jar and closed the lid.
+
+She ran to show her mom. "Mom, look what I found!" she said. "It is an insect. It is green and long. What is it called?"
+
+Her mom smiled and looked at the jar. "That is a dragonfly, Lily. It is a very beautiful insect. It can fly very fast and eat other insects. Do you want to keep it as a pet?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked the dragonfly, but she also knew it liked to fly and be free. She shook her head. "No, mom. I want to let it go. It is happy in the garden. Can I say thank you to it?"
+
+Her mom nodded. "Of course, Lily. That is very kind of you. You can say thank you to it for letting you see it and learn about it."
+
+Lily opened the jar and held it near the flower. The dragonfly flew out and hovered in the air. Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, dragonfly. You are very pretty and amazing. Have a nice day." The dragonfly buzzed and flew away.
+
+Lily felt happy and proud. She had seen a new insect and learned something new. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can we look for more insects?"
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are very smart and curious. Yes, we can look for more insects. Let's go and see what we can find." They walked together in the garden, looking for more insects.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big box that they filled with shiny things they found. They also had a flag with a skull and a hat with a feather.
+
+One day, a mean boy came to the park. He saw their box and wanted to take it. He ran to them and shouted, "Give me your treasure, or I will make you walk the plank!"
+
+Tom and Mia were scared. They did not want to lose their treasure or walk the plank. They looked around and saw a slide. They had an idea.
+
+"OK, OK, you can have our treasure," Mia said. "But first, you have to let us slide down the slide. It is our last wish."
+
+The mean boy thought it was easy. He nodded and said, "Fine, but hurry up. I want the treasure now!"
+
+Tom and Mia ran to the slide. They climbed up and slid down. But they did not stop at the bottom. They kept running to the other side of the park, where their mom was waiting for them.
+
+They escaped from the mean boy. They were happy and proud. They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said, "You are very brave and smart. You tricked the mean boy and saved your treasure. You are the best pirates ever!"
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One morning, they wake up early and see the sunrise. The sky is pink and orange and yellow. It is very pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at the sunrise!" Anna says. "It is so beautiful!"
+
+"Yes, it is," Ben agrees. "But I want to see it better. Move over, Anna. You are in my way."
+
+Ben pushes Anna to the side of the window. Anna falls on the floor and hurts her knee. She starts to cry.
+
+"Hey, that is not nice!" Anna says. "You are selfish, Ben. You only think about yourself. You don't share the sunrise with me."
+
+Ben feels bad. He did not mean to hurt Anna. He was just joking. He likes to joke with Anna, but sometimes his jokes are not funny.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I was joking. I don't want to see the sunrise better. I want to see it with you. You are my sister and I love you. Come here, I will give you a hug."
+
+Ben helps Anna up and hugs her. Anna stops crying and hugs him back. They smile and look at the sunrise together. They see a bird flying in the sky. They hear a rooster crowing. They feel the sun warming their faces.
+
+They are happy. They are not selfish. They share the sunrise.
+Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their bikes in the park. Ben had a red bike with a bell and a basket. Lily had a pink bike with a horn and a ribbon. They liked to pedal fast and make noise.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a fancy bike with a lot of lights and stickers. He also had a helmet and a jacket. He looked very cool. Ben and Lily wanted to join him and see his bike.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Ben asked the new boy.
+
+"I'm Max. This is my bike. It's the best bike in the world." Max said.
+
+"Wow, your bike is very fancy. Can we join you and play with your bike?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you can't. Your bikes are too old and boring. You don't have lights or stickers. You don't have helmets or jackets. You are not cool enough to play with me." Max said. He turned away and pedaled fast.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like Max. He was very mean and rude. They decided to ignore him and play with their bikes. They pedaled faster and made more noise. They had fun together.
+
+Soon, they saw other kids in the park. They had different bikes, some big, some small, some blue, some yellow. They all looked happy and friendly. Ben and Lily waved at them and smiled.
+
+"Hi, do you want to join us and play with our bikes?" one of the kids asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. We like your bikes. They are all different and nice. We don't care if they are fancy or not. We just want to have fun and make friends." Ben and Lily said.
+
+They joined the other kids and played with their bikes. They shared their bell, horn, basket and ribbon. They laughed and talked. They had a great time.
+
+Max saw them and felt lonely. He wished he had joined them too. He realized that his fancy bike was not enough to make him happy. He needed friends. He wondered if it was too late to say sorry and join them. He hoped they would forgive him and let him play with them. He decided to try. He pedaled slowly and said:
+
+"Hi, can I join you and play with your bikes?"
+Ben is a farmer. He has a big farm with many animals and plants. He likes to work hard and take care of his farm. He is healthy and happy.
+
+One day, Ben sees a big boat on the river near his farm. He has never seen a boat like that before. He is curious and wants to know more. He walks to the river and meets a man who is on the boat.
+
+"Hello, I am Ben. I am a farmer. What are you doing on the boat?" Ben asks.
+
+"Hello, I am Sam. I am a sailor. I sail on the boat and explore new places. I have seen many things on my travels. Do you want to see?" Sam says.
+
+"Yes, please. I want to see. Can I come on the boat?" Ben says.
+
+"Sure, you can come on the boat. But you have to be careful. The boat can move fast and sometimes it can be bumpy. Do you think you can handle it?" Sam says.
+
+"I think I can handle it. I am not afraid. I want to learn new things. Thank you for letting me come on the boat." Ben says.
+
+Ben and Sam go on the boat and sail on the river. Ben sees many things he has never seen before. He sees fish, birds, trees, and other boats. He asks Sam many questions and Sam tells him many stories. Ben is amazed and happy. He likes to sail on the boat. He thinks Sam is a good friend. He hopes to sail again someday.
+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big van with colorful pictures on it. The van stopped near their house and a man came out. He had a big smile and a bag of candy.
+
+"Hello, kids! Do you want some candy?" he asked.
+
+Sam and Lily loved candy, but they remembered what their mom told them. "Never talk to strangers or go with them," she said. "They might be bad people who want to hurt you."
+
+Sam shook his head and said, "No, thank you. We don't know you."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "We have to go home now. Bye."
+
+The man frowned and said, "Don't be rude. I have more candy in the van. Come and see."
+
+He grabbed Sam's arm and tried to pull him to the van. Sam was scared and shouted, "Help! Let me go!"
+
+Lily was brave and tried to help her brother. She bit the man's hand and kicked his leg. The man let go of Sam and yelled, "Ow! You little brats!"
+
+Sam and Lily ran away from the van and towards their house. They saw their dad coming out of the door. He was a policeman and he had his badge and gun. He saw the man and the van and knew something was wrong.
+
+"Hey, you! Stop right there!" he shouted.
+
+The man saw the policeman and got scared. He jumped into the van and tried to drive away. But he was too late. The policeman caught him and arrested him. He was a bad man who wanted to kidnap wealthy kids and ask for money.
+
+Sam and Lily hugged their dad and thanked him. He hugged them back and said, "You did a good job, kids. You resisted the bad man and stayed safe. I'm proud of you."
+
+He took them inside and gave them some candy. They ate it happily and told their mom what happened. She was glad they were okay and kissed them. They learned a lesson that day. They never talked to strangers or went with them. They always listened to their mom and dad. They were smart and brave kids.
+Sara and Tom were two friends who liked to play outside. They had a modest shelter made of sticks and leaves, where they kept their toys and snacks. One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a big shelter made of plastic and metal, with wheels and lights. He also had many toys and games, but he looked sad and lonely.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Sara asked the new boy.
+
+"My name is Ben. I just moved here with my parents. They are very busy and have no time to play with me. They gave me this shelter and these toys, but I don't like them. They are too noisy and hard," Ben said.
+
+"That is too bad. We have a shelter too, but it is not like yours. It is modest, but we like it. It is cozy and soft. We also have toys, but they are not many. They are simple, but we like them. They are fun and easy. Do you want to see our shelter and play with us?" Tom asked.
+
+Ben nodded and followed Sara and Tom to their shelter. He was curious and surprised by how different it was from his. He saw a teddy bear, a ball, a book, and some crayons. He picked up the teddy bear and hugged it. It felt warm and fuzzy. He tossed the ball and caught it. It bounced and rolled. He opened the book and looked at the pictures. They were colorful and funny. He took a crayon and drew on a paper. He made a smiley face.
+
+Sara and Tom smiled and joined him. They played with the teddy bear, the ball, the book, and the crayons. They made up stories, jokes, and games. They laughed and laughed. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Ben felt happy and grateful. He realized that he did not need a big shelter or many toys to be happy. He just needed some friends and some imagination. He thanked Sara and Tom for inviting him and sharing their shelter and toys with him. He said he wanted to play with them again.
+
+Sara and Tom said they were happy too. They said they liked Ben and wanted to be his friends. They said they would play with him again.
+
+They hugged and said goodbye. They went to their homes, feeling warm and cheerful. They learned that modest things can bring joy, and that laughter is the best gift.
+Ben and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said she had a surprise for them. She took out a big pot from the oven. It smelled good.
+
+"What is it, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"It is chicken soup, my loves. I made it with thick noodles and lots of vegetables. It will make you warm and happy," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Mia clapped their hands. They loved chicken soup. Mom gave them each a bowl and a spoon. They blew on the soup to cool it down. Then they slurped it up.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum!" Ben and Mia said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad they liked her soup. She ate some too. It was delicious.
+
+After they finished their soup, they felt full and sleepy. Mom said they could rest on the couch. She brought them a soft blanket and a pillow. She tucked them in and kissed them.
+
+"Sleep well, my loves. You had a busy day. I will be here when you wake up," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Mia snuggled up to each other. They closed their eyes. They dreamed of chicken soup and Mom. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big case in the park. The case is red and shiny. It has a lock and a key.
+
+"Wow, what is in the case?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a treasure. Let's open it and see," Tom says.
+
+They take the key and try to open the lock. But the lock is tricky. It has numbers and letters on it. They have to match the right numbers and letters to open the case.
+
+Lily is intelligent. She knows some numbers and letters. She tries to guess the code. She says, "Maybe it is one, two, three, A, B, C."
+
+She turns the key. But nothing happens. The case does not open.
+
+Tom is impatient. He does not like to guess. He says, "This is too hard. Let's break the lock. We can use this rock."
+
+He picks up a big rock and swings it at the lock. But Lily prevents him. She grabs his arm and stops him.
+
+"No, Tom, don't do that. You will break the case and the treasure. We have to be careful and smart. Let's try again," she says.
+
+Tom puts down the rock. He listens to Lily. He says, "Okay, Lily, you are right. You are intelligent. Let's try again. Maybe it is four, five, six, D, E, F."
+
+He turns the key. And this time, the case opens. They see what is inside. It is a treasure. It is a lot of candy and toys and books.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They share the treasure and play with it. They say, "This is the best case ever. We are lucky and intelligent."
+Jill liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Jill helped to mix and pour and decorate. She felt happy when she smelled the sweet things in the oven.
+
+One day, mom said they would bake something special for dad. He worked at the harbor, where big boats came and went. He liked to eat fish and chips. Mom said they would bake him a fish pie with cheese and peas. Jill was excited to try something new.
+
+They went to the shop and bought a fish and some cheese and some peas. They also bought some flour and butter and milk. They went back home and put on their aprons. Mom showed Jill how to make the pie crust and the filling. Jill helped to mash the potatoes and sprinkle the cheese. She put the pie in the oven and set the timer.
+
+While they waited, mom and Jill tidied up the kitchen. They washed the dishes and wiped the counters. They put away the flour and butter and milk. They sang a song and danced a little. Jill felt proud of her work.
+
+The timer beeped and mom took out the pie. It was golden and bubbly and smelled delicious. Jill wrapped it in a towel and put it in a basket. They got their coats and hats and went to the harbor. They found dad by his boat and gave him a big hug. They showed him the pie and he smiled. He said it was the best gift ever. He thanked mom and Jill and kissed them. They all sat on a bench and ate the pie. They watched the boats and the birds and the water. They felt happy and warm. They baked a fish pie with cheese and peas.
+Sara and Ben were young twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage that had many colorful bottles and jars inside. They decided to open them and see what was inside.
+
+"What is this?" Sara asked, holding a bottle of pink powder.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's candy," Ben said, opening a jar of blue powder.
+
+They poured some of the powders on a tray and mixed them with their fingers. They made different shapes and patterns with the powders. They thought they were very pretty.
+
+"Let's show Mom and Dad what we made," Sara said. "They will like it."
+
+"Okay," Ben said. "But we have to be careful. Don't spill any of the powders."
+
+They carried the tray to the living room, where Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch. They smiled when they saw the twins.
+
+"Look what we made," Sara said, holding the tray.
+
+"We used the powders from the garage," Ben said.
+
+Mom and Dad looked at the tray and then at each other. Their faces turned pale.
+
+"Those are not powders, those are paints," Mom said. "They are very messy and hard to clean."
+
+"And they are not for children, they are for Dad's work," Dad said. "They are very expensive and special."
+
+Sara and Ben felt bad. They did not know they had done something wrong.
+
+"We're sorry," Sara said.
+
+"We didn't mean to," Ben said.
+
+Mom and Dad sighed. They hugged the twins and said they loved them.
+
+"But you have to be more careful next time," Mom said. "And ask us before you use anything from the garage."
+
+"Okay," Sara and Ben said.
+
+They helped Mom and Dad clean the tray and the powders. They learned a lesson that day. They still liked to play with their toys, but they never touched the paints again.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it went too far.
+
+One time, the ball went over the fence and into the street. Sam and Mia ran after it, but they did not look both ways. A big van was coming fast and it hit the ball. The ball popped and flew in the air. Sam and Mia were scared and sad. They wanted their ball back.
+
+The driver of the van stopped and got out. He was a nice man and he felt sorry for Sam and Mia. He said, "I'm so sorry, kids. I didn't see your ball. Are you OK?"
+
+Sam and Mia nodded, but they were still sad. The man said, "Don't worry, I have something for you. Come with me to my van."
+
+Sam and Mia followed the man to his van. He opened the back door and showed them a big box. Inside the box, there were many new balls of different colors and sizes. The man said, "You can pick any ball you want. It's a gift from me. I hope it will heal your broken ball and make you happy again."
+
+Sam and Mia smiled and thanked the man. They looked at the box and saw many balls they liked. They picked a red ball and a blue ball and hugged them. They said, "Thank you, mister. You are very kind. We love our new balls."
+
+The man said, "You're welcome, kids. Have fun and be careful. And remember to look both ways before you cross the street."
+
+Sam and Mia said, "We will, mister. Bye-bye."
+
+The man waved and drove away. Sam and Mia went back to the park and played with their new balls. They had a lot of fun and forgot about their old ball. They thought the man was crazy, but in a good way. He made their day better.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to find leaves of different colors and shapes.
+
+One day, they saw a big pile of leaves under a tree. They ran to it and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. It was very fun and playful.
+
+But then, Lily saw a big red leaf that was very pretty. She wanted to keep it for herself. She grabbed it and hid it behind her back.
+
+"Look, Ben, what a nice leaf I found!" she said.
+
+Ben looked at her and smiled. He wanted to see the leaf too.
+
+"Can I see it, Lily?" he asked.
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to share.
+
+"No, it is mine. You can find your own leaf," she said.
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He thought Lily was his friend. He thought friends share and trust each other.
+
+"That is not fair, Lily. You are being mean. I don't want to play with you anymore," he said.
+
+He turned around and walked away. He did not look back.
+
+Lily felt sorry and lonely. She looked at the leaf in her hand. It was not so pretty anymore. She wished she had given it to Ben. She wished she had been a good friend.
+
+She ran after Ben and called his name.
+
+"Ben, wait! I am sorry. I was wrong. You can have the leaf. I want to play with you again," she said.
+
+Ben stopped and looked at her. He saw the leaf in her hand. He saw the tears in her eyes.
+
+He smiled and hugged her. He took the leaf and gave it back to her.
+
+"It is okay, Lily. I forgive you. You are my friend. Friends make mistakes sometimes. But they also say sorry and trust each other," he said.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged him back. She thanked him and gave him half of the leaf.
+
+They held hands and walked back to the pile of leaves. They jumped in and played again. They were happy and playful. They were best friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big plastic train. The train can make noises and move on the tracks. Anna and Ben like to pretend they are the drivers and passengers of the train.
+
+One day, their mom says she has a surprise for them. She says she will provide them with something sweet if they are good and help her with the chores. Anna and Ben are curious and excited. They wonder what the surprise is. They help their mom clean the dishes, make the bed, and fold the clothes.
+
+When they are done, their mom says they can go to the living room and see the surprise. Anna and Ben run to the living room and see a big cake on the table. The cake has candles and frosting and sprinkles. It also has a plastic train on top. The train looks like their toy train, but smaller and edible. Their mom says the cake is for their birthday. Anna and Ben are very happy. They hug their mom and thank her for the cake.
+
+Their mom says they can blow the candles and make a wish. Anna and Ben close their eyes and think of their wish. They wish for more toys, more fun, and more love. They blow the candles together and hear a beep. They open their eyes and see their toy train moving on the tracks. It is making noises and flashing lights. Their mom says she put new batteries in the train. Anna and Ben are amazed. They think their wish came true.
+
+They cut the cake and eat a slice each. The cake is very sweet and yummy. They also eat the plastic train on the cake. It is also sweet and crunchy. They share the cake and the train with their mom. They have a wonderful birthday. They play with their toy train until bedtime. They are very grateful for their mom and their surprise. They say good night and sleep with a smile.
+Ben and Mia liked to build things with their blocks. They made houses, cars, towers, and animals. One day, they decided to build a piano. They found some black and white blocks and some long and thin blocks. They put them together on the floor.
+
+"Look, we made a piano!" Ben said. "Let's play some music."
+
+They took turns to hit the blocks with their hands. They made loud and funny sounds. They laughed and sang.
+
+"Shh, you are too noisy!" Mom said. "Dad is very sleepy. He worked all night. He needs to rest."
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Mia said. "We will be quiet."
+
+But Ben and Mia did not listen. They kept playing with their blocks. They hit them harder and faster. They made more noise.
+
+Dad woke up. He was angry. He came to the living room. He saw the blocks on the floor.
+
+"What is this mess?" he shouted. "Who made this?"
+
+Ben and Mia were scared. They hid behind the couch.
+
+"We did, Dad," Ben said. "We made a piano."
+
+"A piano?" Dad said. "This is not a piano. This is garbage. You ruined my blocks. You are bad children."
+
+He grabbed the blocks and threw them in the trash. He scolded Ben and Mia. He made them go to their room. He did not hug them or kiss them.
+
+Ben and Mia cried. They felt sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had not made a piano. They wished Dad loved them.
+Tom and Lily were at the park with their mom. They saw a man with a big bag of balloons. The man was making animals out of the balloons. He made a dog, a cat, a monkey and a giraffe. Tom and Lily thought it was amazing.
+
+"Can we have a balloon, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, you can each choose one," mom said.
+
+Tom ran to the man and asked for a dog balloon. The man smiled and twisted a red balloon into a dog shape. He gave it to Tom and said, "Here you go, a dog balloon for you. What is your name?"
+
+"Tom," Tom said.
+
+"Nice to meet you, Tom. I'm Bob, the balloon man," the man said.
+
+Lily walked to the man and asked for a cat balloon. The man nodded and made a yellow balloon into a cat shape. He gave it to Lily and said, "Here you go, a cat balloon for you. What is your name?"
+
+"Lily," Lily said.
+
+"Nice to meet you, Lily. I'm Bob, the balloon man," the man said.
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the man and ran back to their mom. They showed her their balloons and said, "Look, mom, we have a dog and a cat. They are amazing."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "They are amazing. And you know what? You are amazing too. You are very polite and you understand how to ask nicely."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom. And we love our balloons."
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not like to share them. They always wanted the same toy, and they would fight over it. Their mom and dad were not happy with them.
+
+One day, they found a new toy in their room. It was a shiny robot that could talk and move. Ben and Lily both wanted the robot, and they grabbed it from each other. The robot did not like that. It said, "Stop! You are hurting me! You need to learn to share and be kind!"
+
+Ben and Lily did not listen to the robot. They pulled and pushed harder, until the robot broke in half. They both cried, and the robot stopped talking and moving. Their mom and dad came to see what happened. They were very sad and angry. They said, "You have broken your new toy. You have been very selfish and rude. You need to say sorry to each other and to the robot. And you need to go to bed without any toys tonight."
+
+Ben and Lily felt very sorry. They said sorry to each other and to the robot. They hugged and kissed their mom and dad. They went to bed without any toys, and they thought about what they had done. They decided to be more careful and generous with their toys from then on.
+
+The next morning, they woke up and saw the robot on their table. It was fixed and smiling. Their mom and dad had worked all night to make it work again. They said, "We are proud of you for saying sorry and learning your lesson. We have fixed your robot, and we hope you will play with it nicely. But remember, it is not the only toy you have. You have many other toys that are available for you to play with. And you have each other, which is the best gift of all."
+
+Ben and Lily were very happy and grateful. They thanked their mom and dad, and they hugged the robot. They said, "We love you, robot. We are sorry for breaking you. We will share you and our other toys with each other. We will be kind and gentle with you and our other toys. We will pause and think before we fight. We will be good twins from now on."
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring, and kindness is better than greed.
+Sam likes to draw and paint. He is very creative. He makes pictures of cars, animals, and stars. He uses many colors and shapes.
+
+One day, Sam wants to draw a big rocket. He asks his mom for a big paper. His mom gives him a big paper and some crayons. Sam starts to draw a big rocket with a red nose and blue wings.
+
+Sam wants to make his rocket look real. He asks his dad for some gas. His dad is confused. He says, "Gas? What do you need gas for?" Sam says, "For my rocket. Rockets need gas to fly." His dad laughs. He says, "Gas is not for drawing, Sam. Gas is for cars and stoves. Gas can be dangerous. You can't use gas for your rocket."
+
+Sam is sad. He wants his rocket to fly. He thinks hard. He has an idea. He asks his mom for some balloons. His mom gives him some balloons and a string. Sam blows up the balloons and ties them to his rocket. He says, "Now my rocket has gas. Balloons have gas inside. They can make my rocket fly."
+
+Sam takes his rocket outside. He holds the string and runs. The balloons lift his rocket in the air. Sam is happy. He says, "Look, mom, look, dad. My rocket is flying. I am creative." His mom and dad smile. They say, "Yes, Sam, you are very creative. We are proud of you."
+Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they saw a big sack near a tree. It was brown and had a string on it.
+
+"Look, a sack!" Lila said. "What is inside?"
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Tom said. He pulled the string and opened the sack.
+
+Inside the sack, there were many shiny things. They were round and had faces on them. They looked like money.
+
+"Wow, money!" Lila said. "We are rich!"
+
+"Where did this money come from?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone left it here by mistake," Lila said.
+
+"Or maybe it belongs to someone bad," Tom said.
+
+"Who cares? It is ours now. We can buy anything we want," Lila said.
+
+She grabbed a handful of money and put it in her pocket. Tom did the same.
+
+They ran away from the tree, laughing and smiling. They did not see the man who was hiding behind the tree. He was angry and mean. He had stolen the money from the nation. The nation was good and helped many people. The man did not like the nation. He wanted to hurt the nation.
+
+He saw Lila and Tom take his money. He was very mad. He ran after them and shouted.
+
+"Hey, you! Stop! Give me back my money!"
+
+Lila and Tom heard the man and got scared. They tried to run faster, but the man was faster. He caught them and grabbed them by their hair.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila and Tom cried.
+
+The man took the money from their pockets and threw them on the ground. He kicked them and hit them. He hurt them a lot.
+
+"Bad kids! You are thieves! You tried to take my money! I will teach you a lesson!" the man said.
+
+He dragged them to his car and threw them in the trunk. He locked the trunk and drove away. He did not care where he was going. He just wanted to get away from the nation.
+
+Lila and Tom were in the dark and cold. They were in pain and fear. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+They wished they had never opened the sack. They wished they had never seen the money. They wished they had never met the man.
+
+They did not know what would happen to them. They did not know if they would ever see their families and friends again.
+
+They did not know if they would ever be happy again.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with many fish. Tom had a net and wanted to catch some fish. He ran to the pond and threw his net in the water.
+
+"Look, Mia, I got a fish!" he shouted. He pulled his net out and showed Mia a small, shiny fish. "It is mine, all mine!"
+
+Mia felt sad. She liked fish too, but she did not have a net. She asked Tom if she could have a turn with his net.
+
+"Please, Tom, can I try to catch a fish too?" she said. "We can share them."
+
+Tom shook his head. He was selfish. He did not want to share his net or his fish. He said, "No, Mia, you cannot have my net. It is mine, and so are the fish. Go away!"
+
+Mia felt angry. She thought Tom was not a good friend. She said, "Tom, you are mean. You do not believe in sharing. You are not fun to play with. I do not want to be your friend anymore."
+
+She turned around and walked away. She looked for another game to play. She saw a swing, a slide, and a sandbox. She decided to go to the sandbox. There, she met a nice boy named Sam. He had a bucket and a shovel. He smiled at Mia and said, "Hi, I am Sam. Do you want to play with me? We can make a sandcastle together."
+
+Mia smiled back. She said, "Hi, I am Mia. Yes, I want to play with you. You are nice. You believe in sharing. You are fun to play with. You can be my friend."
+
+They went to the sandbox and played happily. They made a big, beautiful sandcastle. They shared their bucket and shovel. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Tom saw them from the pond. He felt lonely. He still had his net and his fish, but he had no one to play with. He realized he had been selfish. He wished he had shared his net with Mia. He wished he had been a good friend. He wished he could play with Mia and Sam. But it was too late. They did not want to play with him anymore. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that sharing is better than being selfish.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They had a toy pistol and a magnifying glass.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a mysterious footprint!" Tom said, pointing to a mark on the ground. "Maybe it belongs to a bad guy. We need to follow it."
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful. We don't know who it is," Lily said, holding the pistol. "Maybe we should call for backup."
+
+They followed the footprint to a big bush. They heard a noise behind it. They crept closer and peeked inside.
+
+"Surprise!" It was their dad, hiding with a cake and balloons. "Happy birthday, Tom and Lily! You are such good spies, you found me!"
+
+Tom and Lily were so happy. They hugged their dad and thanked him for the cake. They shared it with their friends and had a fun party. They still liked to play spies, but they also liked to play with their dad. He was the best.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside on the farm. They have a big dog named Spot. Spot is lively. He likes to run and jump and bark.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben see a big field of wheat. The wheat is tall and yellow. It moves in the wind. Sara and Ben want to play in the wheat. They ask their mom if they can go.
+
+Mom says yes, but be careful. She says the wheat can seem soft, but it can also be sharp. She says to watch out for bugs and snakes. She says to stay close to Spot. He will protect them.
+
+Sara and Ben run to the wheat. They hold hands and laugh. They make a path in the wheat. They pretend they are explorers. They find a big rock and climb on it. They can see the whole farm from there.
+
+Spot follows them. He sniffs the wheat and chases the bugs. He barks at the birds and the squirrels. He is happy.
+
+Sara and Ben have fun in the wheat. They play until the sun goes down. Then they hear mom calling them. They run back to the house. They hug mom and Spot. They tell mom about their adventure. Mom smiles and says they are brave. She gives them milk and cookies. They are tired and happy. They go to bed and dream of the wheat.
+Lily and Ben like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two cones. The cones are the goal. Lily is good at kicking the ball. Ben is good at catching the ball.
+
+One day, they see a fancy car in the park. It is shiny and red. It has big wheels and a loud horn. Lily and Ben want to see the car. They leave the ball and the cones and run to the car.
+
+But they do not see the dog. The dog is big and black. It likes to chase balls. It sees the ball and the cones in the park. It thinks they are toys. It runs to the ball and the cones. It grabs the ball in its mouth. It knocks down the cones. It runs away with the ball.
+
+Lily and Ben hear the dog. They turn around and see the ball and the cones gone. They are sad. They want their ball back. They run after the dog. They shout, "Stop, dog! Give us our ball!"
+
+The dog does not stop. It does not give them the ball. It runs faster and faster. Lily and Ben cannot catch the dog. They are tired and angry.
+
+They see a man in the park. He has a leash and a whistle. He is the dog's owner. He sees the dog and the ball. He blows the whistle. The dog hears the whistle. It stops running. It drops the ball. It goes to the man.
+
+Lily and Ben go to the man. They point at the ball. They say, "That is our ball. The dog took our ball. We want our ball back."
+
+The man is sorry. He says, "I am sorry. The dog likes balls. He did not know it was your ball. He thought it was his toy. You can have your ball back."
+
+He gives them the ball. He says, "You are good at soccer. You have a nice goal. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They say, "Yes, we want to play with you. You have a fancy car. Can we see your car?"
+
+The man says, "Yes, you can see my car. But first, let's play soccer."
+
+They play soccer in the park. They have fun. They are friends. The end.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a bench with some cookies on it. Sara wanted to eat the cookies. She said to Tom, "Let's go get the cookies. They look yummy."
+
+Tom said, "No, Sara. The cookies are not ours. They belong to someone else. We should not take them. That is bad."
+
+Sara did not listen to Tom. She ran to the bench and tried to reach the cookies. But the bench was too high for her. She jumped and jumped, but she could not get the cookies.
+
+Then, a big dog came out of the bushes. The dog saw Sara and the cookies. The dog barked and ran to the bench. Sara was scared of the dog. She cried and ran away.
+
+Tom came to help Sara. He said, "Are you okay, Sara? The dog was angry. He wanted the cookies too. You should have listened to me. Taking things that are not yours is bad. It can make you and others unhappy."
+
+Sara said, "I'm sorry, Tom. You were right. I was greedy and bad. I will not do that again. I will share and be kind."
+
+Tom said, "That's good, Sara. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Come on, let's go play somewhere else. Maybe we can find some nice flowers or birds."
+
+Sara and Tom hugged and walked away. They learned that being good is better than being bad.
+Sara and Ben were going to the zoo with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the animals. They packed some snacks, water, and hats in a big bag.
+
+On the way, they saw many cars and buses and trees and houses. Sara and Ben played a game of spotting different colors and shapes. They also sang some songs with their mom and dad. They were having fun, but they were also getting sleepy.
+
+They arrived at the zoo after a long drive. They got out of the car and followed their mom and dad to the entrance. They saw a big sign with a picture of a lion and the word "ZOO". They also saw a map with many arrows and dots and names of animals.
+
+"Where do you want to go first?" their dad asked.
+
+"I want to see the monkeys!" Sara said.
+
+"I want to see the elephants!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, let's go to the monkeys first, then the elephants," their mom said. "But first, let's have a snack and some water. You must be hungry and thirsty."
+
+They found a bench near a fountain and sat down. They opened the big bag and took out some crackers, cheese, and fruit. They also drank some water from their bottles. They felt better after eating and drinking.
+
+"Look, mom, look, dad!" Sara said, pointing to a big bird with colorful feathers. "What is that?"
+
+"That's a peacock, Sara," their mom said. "It's a very beautiful bird. Do you like it?"
+
+"Yes, I like it. It's so pretty. Can we go see it?"
+
+"Sure, we can go see it. But be careful, it might be shy or scared of people. Don't get too close or touch it."
+
+They finished their snack and got up. They followed the arrow that said "peacock" and walked along a path. They saw many other animals on the way, like zebras, giraffes, and bears. They stopped and looked at them and learned their names and sounds.
+
+They finally reached the peacock. It was sitting on a branch, with its tail feathers spread out like a fan. It was very bright and shiny, with blue, green, and gold colors. Sara and Ben were amazed by it. They wanted to take a picture with it.
+
+"Can we take a picture with the peacock, dad?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, let me get the camera," their dad said. He took out his phone and turned on the camera. He asked Sara and Ben to stand near the peacock, but not too close. He said "smile" and took a picture.
+
+But as soon as he took the picture, the peacock made a loud noise. It sounded like "honk, honk, honk". It flapped its wings and flew away. Sara and Ben were startled and scared. They ran back to their mom and dad and hugged them.
+
+"What was that?" Sara asked.
+
+"That was the peacock's call, Sara," their mom said. "It was probably trying to tell us to go away. It didn't like us being near it."
+
+"I'm sorry, peacock," Ben said. "We didn't mean to bother you. We just wanted to see you."
+
+"It's OK, Ben," their dad said. "The peacock is not angry. It's just protecting its space. Maybe it was sleepy and wanted to rest."
+
+"Maybe we should let it rest, then," Sara said. "Can we go see the elephants now?"
+
+"Sure, let's go see the elephants," their mom said. "But first, let's say goodbye to the peacock."
+
+They waved to the peacock, who was now on another branch, with its tail feathers folded. They said "bye, peacock, thank you for showing us your beautiful feathers. Have a nice nap."
+
+Then they walked to the elephant enclosure, where they saw two big gray animals with long trunks and ears. They were happy and curious to see them. They hoped they would not make a loud noise like the peacock.
+Lisa loves to create things with her hands. She likes to draw, to paint, to cut and to glue. One day, she sees a big glass jar in the kitchen. She thinks it is very pretty and shiny. She wants to create something with it.
+
+She asks her mom, "Mom, can I have the glass jar, please?"
+
+Her mom says, "Sure, honey, but be careful. It is very fragile. It can break and hurt you."
+
+Lisa says, "I will be careful, mom. I want to create a fairy house with it."
+
+She takes the glass jar to her room. She finds some paper, some stickers, some glitter and some cotton. She cuts and glues and sticks and sprinkles. She makes a door, a window, a roof and a garden for the fairy house. She puts the cotton inside the jar to make it cozy. She is very happy with her creation.
+
+She wants to show it to her mom. She picks up the glass jar carefully. She walks slowly to the kitchen. She is anxious not to drop it. She wants her mom to like it.
+
+But on the way, she sees her cat, Fluffy. Fluffy is curious. He sees the glitter and the stickers. He thinks they are toys. He jumps on the glass jar. He makes it fall. It breaks on the floor. It makes a loud noise. Lisa is scared. She cries.
+
+Her mom hears the noise. She runs to Lisa. She sees the broken glass and the fairy house. She hugs Lisa. She says, "Oh, honey, I'm sorry. It was an accident. Fluffy didn't know. Are you hurt?"
+
+Lisa says, "No, mom, I'm not hurt. But my fairy house is broken. I worked so hard on it. I wanted to show it to you."
+
+Her mom says, "I know, honey, I know. It was very beautiful. You are very creative. I'm proud of you. But glass is not a good material for fairy houses. It is too dangerous. Next time, let's use something else. Something safer. Like plastic, or wood, or clay. What do you think?"
+
+Lisa says, "OK, mom, OK. I think that's a good idea. Can we create a new fairy house tomorrow?"
+
+Her mom says, "Of course, honey, of course. We can create anything you want. I love you."
+
+Lisa says, "I love you too, mom."
+Tim and his dog Spot went to the park. Tim had a new leash for Spot. It was red and had a bow on it. Tim thought it was very pretty. He put the leash on Spot and said, "You look so nice, Spot. Let's go play."
+
+They walked to the park and saw many other dogs and people. Some of the dogs barked at Spot. Some of the people smiled at Spot. One lady said, "What a cute dog! I love his leash. Can I pet him?" Tim nodded and said, "Yes, you can. His name is Spot. He is very friendly."
+
+The lady bent down and stroked Spot's fur. She also touched his bow. Spot liked the lady. He wagged his tail and licked her face. The lady laughed and said, "He is so sweet. Thank you for letting me pet him." She stood up and said goodbye to Tim and Spot.
+
+Tim and Spot continued to walk around the park. They saw a big pond with ducks and geese. Spot wanted to chase them. He pulled on the leash and barked. Tim tried to hold him back. He said, "No, Spot. You can't chase them. They are not toys. They are animals. They will be scared of you."
+
+But Spot was too strong and excited. He pulled harder and harder. Tim could not keep up. He stumbled and fell. The leash slipped out of his hand. Spot ran to the pond. He jumped in the water. He splashed and swam. He chased the ducks and geese. They quacked and honked. They flew away.
+
+Tim got up and ran after Spot. He was worried and angry. He shouted, "Spot, come back! Come back, now!" But Spot did not listen. He was having too much fun. He did not see the leash getting tangled around a tree. He did not feel the bow getting loose. He did not notice the leash and the bow falling off.
+
+Tim reached the pond. He saw Spot in the water. He also saw the leash and the bow on the ground. He picked them up. He was sad. He said, "Oh, Spot. You ruined your new leash. You lost your bow. You were not a good dog. You did not obey me."
+
+Spot heard Tim's voice. He looked at him. He saw the leash and the bow in his hand. He realized what he had done. He felt sorry. He swam to the shore. He shook the water off his fur. He walked to Tim. He bowed his head. He whimpered. He said, "I'm sorry, Tim. I'm sorry."
+
+Tim looked at Spot. He saw his wet fur and his sad eyes. He felt sorry too. He said, "It's okay, Spot. I'm sorry too. I should have been more careful. I should have gotten you a better leash. A leash that would fit you. A leash that would not break. A leash that you would like."
+
+He hugged Spot and said, "I love you, Spot. You are my best friend. You are still a good dog. You just made a mistake. We all make mistakes. We can learn from them. We can do better next time."
+
+Spot licked Tim's face and said, "I love you too, Tim. You are my best friend. You are still a good boy. You just had a bad day. We all have bad days. We can forget them. We can have fun again."
+
+They smiled at each other and said, "Let's go home." They walked back to the park entrance. They saw the lady who had petted Spot before. She saw them too. She said, "Hello, Tim and Spot. How was your walk?"
+
+Tim and Spot looked at each other. They looked at the lady. They looked at the leash and the bow. They said, "It was fine." They said, "Goodbye." They said, "Let's go home." They went home.
+Lily and Ben liked to sail. They had a small boat with a red sail. They sailed on the lake near their home. They liked to look for things in the water and on the shore.
+
+One day, they sailed to a small island. They saw a big tree with many birds. They heard a loud noise. They saw a bird with a shiny thing in its beak. It was a necklace. Lily and Ben wanted the necklace. They got off the boat and started to search.
+
+They looked under the tree, behind the rocks, and in the bushes. They did not find the necklace. They saw the bird fly away. They were sad. They went back to the boat. They sailed away.
+
+They sailed to another island. They saw a cozy hut. They smelled something good. They saw a lady. She was cooking. She saw Lily and Ben. She smiled. She invited them to eat. She gave them soup and bread. She gave them the necklace. She said the bird dropped it near her hut. She said she did not need it. She said Lily and Ben could have it. They were happy. They thanked the lady. They ate and talked.
+
+They sailed back to their home. They showed their parents the necklace. They told them about the lady and the bird. They said they had a fun adventure. They felt comfortable and warm. They went to sleep. They dreamed of sailing.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to joke and play. One day, they went to the park with their mom and saw a big tree. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky.
+
+They asked their mom if they could climb the tree. She said yes, but be careful and don't go too high. Ben and Lily said okay and ran to the tree. They found a low branch and pulled themselves up. They felt happy and brave.
+
+They climbed higher and higher, looking for birds and nests. They saw a squirrel and a blue jay. They laughed and joked with each other. They forgot what their mom said.
+
+Then, Lily saw a big hole in the tree. She wondered what was inside. She reached for the hole and put her hand in. She felt something soft and furry. She screamed and pulled her hand out. A raccoon popped out of the hole and hissed at her.
+
+Lily was scared and cried. Ben was scared too. He tried to help his sister, but he slipped and fell. He landed on a lower branch and hurt his arm. He cried too.
+
+Their mom heard their cries and ran to the tree. She saw her twins helpless and scared. She called for help. A man came with a ladder and helped them down. He checked their arm and hand and said they were okay, but they needed a band-aid and a hug.
+
+Their mom hugged them and gave them a band-aid. She said she was glad they were safe, but they should not climb so high and joke with wild animals. Ben and Lily said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They said they loved their mom and thanked the man. They went home and had some cookies and milk. They decided to joke and play with their toys instead of the tree.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a nest on it. They want to see what is in the nest.
+
+"Let's climb the tree and look at the nest," Tom says.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Mia says.
+
+They climb the tree and reach the nest. They see four small eggs in it. They are blue and speckled.
+
+"Wow, look at the eggs! They are so pretty!" Tom says.
+
+He picks up one egg and shakes it gently. He wants to hear if there is a baby bird inside.
+
+"Tom, don't do that! You might break the egg!" Mia says.
+
+She is scared and angry. She tries to take the egg from Tom.
+
+But Tom shakes the egg too hard. The egg cracks and a yellow goo comes out. Tom drops the egg and it falls to the ground.
+
+"Oh no! What have you done?" Mia says.
+
+She starts to cry. Tom feels guilty. He knows he did a bad thing.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to break the egg. I was just curious," Tom says.
+
+He also starts to cry.
+
+They hear a loud squawk from above. They look up and see a big bird flying towards them. It is the mother bird. She is angry and scared. She sees her broken egg and her missing babies.
+
+She dives at Tom and Mia and pecks at their heads. They scream and run down the tree. They run to their mom and dad, who are sitting on a bench.
+
+"Mom, Dad, help! A bird attacked us!" Tom says.
+
+"What happened? Are you OK?" Mom says.
+
+She sees the blood on their heads and the yellow goo on their clothes. She is worried and angry.
+
+"We climbed a tree and looked at a nest. Tom broke an egg and the bird got mad," Mia says.
+
+She tells the truth. She is still crying.
+
+Mom and Dad are shocked and sad. They hug Tom and Mia and take them to the car. They drive to the doctor to check their wounds.
+
+They also talk to them about why they should not touch other animals' nests and eggs. They explain that it is wrong and dangerous. They make them say sorry to the bird and promise to never do it again.
+
+Tom and Mia feel very guilty. They learn their lesson. They decide to be more careful and respectful of nature. They hope the bird and her babies will be OK.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play near the pond. They knew there were fish and frogs and ducks in the water, and they liked to watch them and splash them. But they also knew there was something else in the pond, something big and green and scary. It was an alligator, and their mom and dad told them to stay away from it.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily saw a mysterious box near the pond. It was shiny and red and had a bow on it. They wondered what was inside. Maybe it was a toy or a cake or a surprise. They ran to the box and opened it. But instead of something nice, they saw a big sign that said "BOO!" and a loud noise that made them jump.
+
+They were so scared that they dropped the box and ran back to the pond. They did not see the alligator that was hiding under the water, waiting for them. The alligator saw them and opened its mouth. It was hungry and wanted to eat them.
+
+"Help, help!" Ben and Lily cried. "There is an alligator!"
+
+Their mom and dad heard them and came running. They saw the alligator and grabbed Ben and Lily and pulled them away from the pond. They were safe, but they were also very sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, mom and dad," Ben and Lily said. "We should have listened to you and stayed away from the pond and the alligator. We should not have been curious about the mysterious box. It was a bad joke and we learned our lesson."
+
+Mom and dad hugged them and said, "We are glad you are okay, Ben and Lily. We love you very much. But you have to be careful and obey us. The pond and the alligator are dangerous and the mysterious box was a trap. Next time, do not go near them or you might get hurt."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We will, mom and dad. We will." They went home with their mom and dad and never played near the pond or the alligator or the mysterious box again. They learned that curiosity can be good, but it can also be bad. They learned to be smart and safe and listen to their parents.
+Tom and Sue like to play hide and seek. They take turns to hide and seek in the park. One day, they see a big pond with many fish. The fish are red, blue, yellow and green. They swim and jump in the water.
+
+"Look, fish!" Tom says. "Let's catch them!"
+
+"No, Tom, that's not nice. The fish live in the pond. They are happy there. We should not bother them," Sue says.
+
+But Tom does not listen. He runs to the pond and tries to grab a fish with his hand. He leans over the edge and reaches into the water. The water is cold and wet. He feels a fish slip through his fingers.
+
+"Ha, I got one!" he shouts. He pulls his hand out of the water. But he does not have a fish. He has a snake. The snake is black and slimy. It has sharp teeth and a forked tongue. It hisses and bites Tom's hand.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom screams. He drops the snake and falls into the pond. The water is cold and deep. He cannot swim. He sinks and splashes. He cries for help.
+
+Sue hears Tom's scream. She runs to the pond and sees Tom in the water. She is scared and sad. She does not know what to do. She calls for help, but no one comes. She watches Tom disappear under the water. She never sees him again.
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park to play in the snow. Lily wore her new red mittens that her grandma had knitted for her. She loved her mittens very much. They were warm and soft and had little hearts on them.
+
+Lily and her mom made a big snowman with a carrot nose and a scarf. They also made snow angels and threw snowballs. Lily had a lot of fun. But then, she noticed that one of her mittens was gone. She looked around and saw a big black dog running away with her mitten in his mouth. Lily felt very sad and scared. She cried and ran to her mom.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We will find your mitten. Maybe the dog will drop it somewhere. Let's go and look for it." They followed the dog's tracks in the snow, hoping to see a red mitten. But they did not find it. The dog had run too far.
+
+Lily and her mom walked back to the park, feeling cold and sad. Lily thought she would never see her mitten again. She wished she could have her grandma here to make her a new one. But her grandma lived far away.
+
+When they got to the park, they saw a surprise. The snowman had a red mitten on his head. It was Lily's mitten. The dog had dropped it on the snowman when he ran past. Lily was so happy. She ran to the snowman and took her mitten. She thanked the snowman and gave him a hug. She put her mitten back on her hand. It was still warm and soft and had little hearts on it.
+
+Lily and her mom smiled and laughed. They were happy again. They decided to give the snowman a present. They found a hat and a pair of gloves and put them on him. They also gave him a hug and a kiss. They said goodbye to the snowman and went home.
+
+It was a quiet and peaceful night. Lily and her mom cuddled on the couch and drank hot chocolate. Lily looked at her mittens and felt grateful. She had learned a lesson. She had learned to be careful with her things and to never give up hope. She had learned that sometimes, things can be restored.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big rock. It is brown and hard.
+
+"Look, Tom, a rock!" Mia says.
+
+"Can we take it home?" Tom asks.
+
+Mia tries to lift the rock, but it is too heavy. She asks Tom to help her. They both pull and push, but the rock does not move.
+
+"Maybe it is stuck in the ground," Mia says.
+
+"Maybe it is magic," Tom says.
+
+They look at the rock more closely. They see some shiny bits on it. They are different colors: red, green, blue.
+
+"What are these?" Mia wonders.
+
+"They are minerals," Tom says. He remembers what their mom told them. "Minerals are parts of rocks. They are very old and pretty."
+
+"I want one," Mia says. She reaches for a blue mineral. She tries to break it off the rock, but it is too hard.
+
+"Ow, it hurts!" she cries.
+
+Tom reaches for a red mineral. He tries to break it off the rock, but it is too hard.
+
+"Ow, it hurts!" he cries.
+
+They look at each other. They have scratches on their fingers.
+
+"Maybe we should leave the rock alone," Mia says.
+
+"Maybe we should," Tom agrees.
+
+They run back to their mom. She gives them a hug and a band-aid. She tells them to be careful with rocks.
+
+"They are old and hard. They can hurt you," she says.
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They still think the rock is magic, but they do not touch it again. They play with their toys instead.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big tube that they used to roll and crawl in. They liked the tube very much.
+
+But then, a boy from the next house came over. He saw the tube and wanted it. He was a bad boy who liked to steal things. He waited until Tom and Lily were busy with their dolls and cars. Then he ran and grabbed the tube. He dragged it to his house and hid it.
+
+Tom and Lily noticed that their tube was gone. They looked around and saw the boy's footprints in the grass. They followed them and saw the tube in his garden. They were very angry and sad.
+
+"Hey, that's our tube!" Tom shouted. "Give it back!"
+
+The boy came out of his house. He was careless and did not see a big rock on the ground. He tripped and fell. The tube rolled out of his hands and back to Tom and Lily.
+
+"Ouch! That hurts!" the boy cried.
+
+Tom and Lily took their tube and ran away. They did not want to play with the bad boy. They went back to their garden and had fun with their toys. They were happy and glad.
+Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She checked behind the trees, under the bench, and in the slide. She could not find him.
+
+"Where are you, Tom?" she shouted. "I give up!"
+
+Tom heard her and smiled. He had a good hiding spot. He was inside a big cardboard box that someone had left near the trash can. He thought Lily would never look there. He decided to surprise her.
+
+He jumped out of the box and shouted, "Boo!"
+
+Lily turned around and saw him. She was not scared. She was angry.
+
+"Tom, that is not fair!" she said. "You hid in a dull box. That is not a fun place to hide. That is a boring place to hide."
+
+Tom felt bad. He did not mean to make Lily angry. He wanted to have fun with her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I thought it was a clever place to hide. I wanted to reveal myself and make you laugh."
+
+Lily looked at him. She saw that he was sorry. She decided to forgive him.
+
+"It's okay, Tom," she said. "But next time, hide in a better place. A place that is fun and colorful and exciting. Like the swings, or the sandbox, or the merry-go-round."
+
+Tom nodded. He agreed with her. He liked those places too.
+
+"Okay, Lily," he said. "Let's play again. You hide and I seek. And I promise to look for you in fun places."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked that idea. She ran to find a new hiding spot. Tom counted to ten and then followed her. They played hide and seek until it was time to go home. They had a lot of fun.
+Tim likes to write. He writes on paper, on walls, on books. He writes his name, his mom's name, his dog's name. He writes big and small, fast and slow, neat and messy.
+
+One day, Tim finds a new thing to write on. It is the carpet in his room. It is ugly and old. It has many colors and shapes. Tim thinks it is boring. He wants to make it pretty. He takes his crayons and starts to write on the carpet. He writes letters, numbers, stars, hearts. He writes red, blue, green, yellow. He writes happy, funny, silly, cute.
+
+But mom does not like Tim's writing. She comes into his room and sees the carpet. She is angry and sad. She says, "Tim, what did you do? You ruined the carpet! You cannot write on the carpet! That is bad! You have to clean it up!"
+
+Tim is scared and sorry. He says, "Mom, I'm sorry. I wanted to make the carpet pretty. I like to write. I don't like the carpet. It is ugly and old."
+
+Mom sighs and hugs Tim. She says, "Tim, I know you like to write. But you have to write on the right things. You can write on paper, on cards, on stickers. But you cannot write on the carpet, on the walls, on the books. Those are not for writing. They are for other things. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim nods and says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will not write on the carpet again. I will write on the right things. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I love you too, Tim. Now let's go and clean the carpet together. Maybe we can find a new carpet that you like better. One that is not ugly and old."
+Anna liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She painted on paper and on the wall. Sometimes her mom got mad when she painted on the wall, but Anna said sorry and helped to clean.
+
+One day, Anna found a new thing in her dad's room. It was a microscope. It was big and shiny and had a glass eye. Anna was curious. She wanted to see what it did. She took a paper with her paint and put it under the glass eye. Then she looked.
+
+"Wow!" Anna said. She saw many tiny dots and lines and shapes. They were the colors of her paint, but they looked different. They looked like magic. Anna smiled. She wanted to show her dad.
+
+She ran to find her dad. He was in the kitchen. He was making a sandwich. Anna pulled his hand and said, "Dad, dad, come see! I found a microscope! It makes my paint look magic!"
+
+Her dad followed her to his room. He saw the microscope and the paper. He was surprised. He said, "Anna, this is my microscope. It is for looking at very small things. You can see the paint molecules. They are the parts that make the paint. They are very interesting, but you should not touch my microscope without asking. It is delicate and expensive."
+
+Anna felt bad. She did not know. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I was curious. I wanted to see. Your microscope is cool. Can I look again?"
+
+Her dad smiled. He was not mad. He was glad that Anna liked to learn. He said, "It's okay, Anna. I'm sorry I was harsh. You can look again, but be careful. And next time, please ask me first. I can show you more things with the microscope. Do you want to see a bug or a leaf or a hair?"
+
+Anna nodded. She was excited. She said, "Yes, please! I want to see everything! Thank you, dad!"
+
+They hugged and went back to the microscope. They looked at many small things and talked about them. They had fun. Anna learned a lot. She still liked to paint, but now she also liked to look. She thought the microscope was amazing.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. But they did not like the mean dog that lived next door. The dog was big and loud and always barked at them.
+
+One day, the dog found a hole in the fence. He ran into the garden and chased Tom and Lily. They were very scared and ran to the house. But the door was locked. They had no key.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "The dog is coming!"
+
+They saw a window that was open. They climbed on a chair and jumped through the window. They landed on the floor. They were safe.
+
+But they were also filthy. They had dirt and mud all over them. Their mom came into the room and saw them.
+
+"What happened?" she asked. "You are so dirty!"
+
+"The dog, the dog!" Tom and Lily said. "He came into the garden. He wanted to bite us. We had to escape. We came through the window."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are okay. But you need a bath. And we need to fix the fence. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. And don't forget to wash your hands."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big pile of sticks. Lily wanted a stick to make a wand. She picked up a long, thin stick. It was beautiful. It had green leaves and red berries.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a wand!" Lily said. "I can do magic!"
+
+Tom wanted a stick too. He looked for a stick that was bigger and better than Lily's. He saw a thick, brown stick. It was not beautiful. It had sharp thorns and dirt. But Tom did not care. He wanted the biggest stick.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a stick!" Tom said. "It is bigger than your stick!"
+
+Lily did not like Tom's stick. She thought it was ugly and mean. She did not want to play with Tom.
+
+"Your stick is not a wand, Tom. It is a stick. It is a bad stick. Go away!" Lily said.
+
+Tom was angry. He did not like Lily's words. He wanted to make Lily sad. He swung his stick at Lily's wand. He hit it hard. Lily's wand broke. The leaves and berries fell off. Lily cried.
+
+"Tom, you are a bad boy! You broke my wand! You are not my friend!" Lily said.
+
+Tom did not feel sorry. He felt happy. He had the biggest stick. He ran away with his stick. He did not look back.
+
+Lily was left alone. She had no wand. She had no friend. She was very sad. She wished she had a magic wand. She wished she could make Tom nice. She wished she could have a beautiful stick again. But she could not. She had nothing.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small kite. They take turns to kick the ball and fly the kite.
+
+One day, Lily has a cold. She sneezes a lot. She stays at home with her mom. She misses Ben and the park. She wants to tell Ben that she is sick and she hopes to see him soon.
+
+She asks her mom for a paper and a crayon. She draws a picture of herself and Ben in the park. She writes "Lily sneeze. Lily miss Ben. Lily want play." She gives the paper to her mom and says "Mom, can you give this message to Ben?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says "Sure, Lily. I will give this message to Ben. He lives next door. He will be happy to see your picture. You are a good friend, Lily."
+
+She puts on her coat and shoes and walks to Ben's house. She knocks on the door. Ben's dad opens the door. He says "Hello, Lily's mom. What can I do for you?"
+
+She says "Hello, Ben's dad. I have a message for Ben from Lily. She is sick and she misses him. She drew this picture for him. Can I give it to him?"
+
+He says "Of course, you can. Ben is in his room. He is patient and quiet. He is reading a book. He will be glad to hear from Lily. Come in, please."
+
+She follows him to Ben's room. She sees Ben sitting on his bed with a book. She says "Hi, Ben. I have a message for you from Lily. She is sick and she misses you. She drew this picture for you. Look."
+
+She hands him the paper. He takes it and looks at it. He smiles and says "Wow, this is a nice picture. Lily is a good drawer. I see the ball and the kite. I miss Lily too. I hope she gets better soon. I want to play with her in the park. Thank you for the message, Lily's mom."
+
+He puts the picture on his nightstand. He says "Can I write a message back to Lily? I have a paper and a crayon too."
+
+She says "Sure, Ben. You can write a message back to Lily. She will be happy to see your message. You are a good friend, Ben."
+
+He takes a paper and a crayon. He draws a picture of himself and Lily in the park. He writes "Ben read. Ben miss Lily. Ben want play." He gives the paper to her and says "Here, this is my message to Lily. Can you give it to her?"
+
+She says "Yes, Ben. I will give this message to Lily. She lives next door. She will be happy to see your picture. You are a good drawer, Ben."
+
+She puts on her coat and shoes and walks to Lily's house. She knocks on the door. Lily's mom opens the door. She says "Hello, Ben's mom. What can I do for you?"
+
+She says "Hello, Lily's mom. I have a message for Lily from Ben. He is patient and quiet. He is reading a book. He misses her. He drew this picture for her. Can I give it to her?"
+
+She says "Of course, you can. Lily is in her room. She is sneezing a lot. She is sad and bored. She will be glad to hear from Ben. Come in, please."
+
+She follows her to Lily's room. She sees Lily lying on her bed with a tissue. She says "Hi, Lily. I have a message for you from Ben. He is patient and quiet. He is reading a book. He misses you. He drew this picture for you. Look."
+
+She hands her the paper. She takes it and looks at it. She smiles and says "Wow, this is a nice picture. Ben is a good drawer. I see the ball and the kite. I miss Ben too. I hope I get better soon. I want to play with him in the park. Thank you for the message, Ben's mom."
+
+She puts the picture on her pillow. She says "Can I write a message back to Ben? I have a paper and a crayon too."
+
+She says "Sure, Lily. You can write a message back to Ben. He will be happy to see your message. You are a good friend, Lily."
+
+She takes a paper and a crayon. She draws a picture of herself and Ben in the park. She writes "Lily sneeze. Lily love Ben. Lily want play." She gives the paper to her and says "Here, this is my message to Ben. Can you give it to him?"

+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big clock that made funny noises and showed different pictures. They also had a famous doll that could talk and sing. They loved their doll very much and always listened to what she said.
+
+One day, the doll told them to drink a bottle of juice that was on the table. She said it was a magic juice that would make them strong and smart. Tim and Kim were curious and wanted to try the juice. They did not know that the juice was bad and had poison in it.
+
+They took the bottle and drank some of the juice. It tasted very bitter and made them feel sick. They started to cough and cry. They wanted to call their mom and dad, but they could not speak. They fell on the floor and did not move.
+
+The clock saw what happened and was very sad. He tried to help them, but he could not. He only made noises and showed pictures. He wished he could talk and tell their mom and dad what the doll did. He hated the doll and wanted to break her.
+
+The doll did not care. She was evil and wanted to hurt Tim and Kim. She laughed and said, "Now I am the only one who can talk and sing. I am the most famous doll in the world. No one can stop me." She did not know that soon their mom and dad would come home and find out what she did. She did not know that she would be thrown away and never played with again.
+Sara and Ben were very happy. They had a ticket to see the big animals at the zoo. They had never seen a lion or a giraffe or a monkey before. They wanted to see them all.
+
+They got on the bus with their mom and dad. The bus was loud and bumpy. Sara and Ben held their ticket tight. They did not want to lose it. They looked out the window and saw many cars and buildings and people.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Sara asked.
+
+"Soon, honey, soon," mom said. "You will love the zoo. It has many rare animals that you can't see anywhere else."
+
+"What does rare mean?" Ben asked.
+
+"It means very special and not many," dad said. "Like the white tiger. There is only one white tiger at the zoo. He is very rare and beautiful."
+
+Sara and Ben wanted to see the white tiger. They wondered what he looked like. They imagined he was big and soft and had stripes.
+
+The bus stopped at the zoo gate. Sara and Ben jumped off the bus. They gave their ticket to the man. He smiled and said, "Have fun, kids. Don't miss the white tiger. He is the star of the zoo."
+
+Sara and Ben ran to the map. They looked for the white tiger. He was in the big cat house. They followed the signs and ran to the big cat house. They saw many big cats. They saw lions and leopards and cheetahs. They were all very loud and scary.
+
+But they did not see the white tiger. They looked and looked. They asked a zookeeper. He said, "The white tiger is sleeping. He is very shy. He only comes out when he feels like it. You have to be very lucky to see him."
+
+Sara and Ben felt sad. They wanted to see the white tiger. They waited and waited. They hoped he would wake up and come out.
+
+Then they heard a roar. A loud and deep roar. They turned around and saw the white tiger. He was awake. He was walking out of his den. He was big and soft and had stripes. He was very rare and beautiful.
+
+Sara and Ben gasped. They were very lucky. They saw the white tiger. They ran to the fence. They waved and shouted, "Hello, white tiger! We are so happy to see you!"
+
+The white tiger looked at them. He blinked and smiled. He walked to the fence. He shook his head and his tail. He said, "Hello, Sara and Ben. I am so happy to see you too!"
+Tom and Mia are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. But they have to be careful not to make too much noise, because Mom is working in the kitchen.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a big tower!" Tom says, showing his blocks to his sister.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's very good!" Mia says. "Can I help you?"
+
+"Sure, Mia, you can put more blocks on top. But be gentle, or the tower will fall down."
+
+Mia nods and picks up a block. She tries to put it on top of the tower, but she slips and knocks down some of the blocks. The blocks make a loud noise when they hit the floor.
+
+"Snap!" Tom says, angry. "You broke my tower, Mia! You are so clumsy!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't mean to!" Mia says, sad. "Please don't be mad at me!"
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the blocks on the floor and the children's faces.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks.
+
+"Mia broke my tower, Mom!" Tom says. "She was not careful!"
+
+"Tom, that's not nice!" Mom says. "Mia didn't do it on purpose. She was trying to help you. You should share your blocks and play nicely with your sister."
+
+"But Mom, I worked hard on my tower!" Tom says.
+
+"I know, Tom, but you can always build another one. And maybe Mia can help you make it even better. How about that?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He looks at Mia, who is still sad. He feels sorry for her.
+
+"Okay, Mom, I guess you're right," Tom says. "I'm sorry, Mia. Do you want to help me build another tower?"
+
+Mia smiles and nods. She hugs Tom and says, "Thank you, Tom. I'm sorry, too. Let's build another tower together."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's better. I'm proud of you, Tom and Mia. Now, can you please play quietly? I have to finish my work in the kitchen."
+
+"Okay, Mom, we will," Tom and Mia say. They pick up the blocks and start to build another tower. They are careful not to make too much noise. They are happy to play together.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it.
+
+"Let's go up the hill!" Tom says. "We can see the whole park from there!"
+
+"OK!" Lily says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and slippery."
+
+They hold hands and start to climb. They use their feet and their hands. They are clever and find good places to step. They rise higher and higher.
+
+But then, Tom slips. He falls down and hurts his knee. He cries. Lily stops and runs to him.
+
+"Tom, are you OK?" Lily asks. She sees blood on his knee. She rubs it gently with her hand. "Don't cry, Tom. I will help you."
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Tom says. He stops crying. He hugs Lily. "You are a good sister. You are clever and kind."
+
+Lily smiles. She helps Tom stand up. They walk down the hill together. They go to their mom. She puts a bandage on Tom's knee. She hugs them both.
+
+"You are brave, Tom," she says. "And you are sweet, Lily. I am proud of you both. You are clever and caring twins."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big dog with black and white skin. The dog looked friendly, but it had a mysterious collar. It had a red button and a speaker.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Ben said.
+
+But they did not see anyone with the dog. The dog came closer and wagged its tail. Lily and Ben smiled and reached out their hands. The dog licked their fingers.
+
+"Hello, doggy. What is your name?" Lily said.
+
+The dog did not answer. It pressed the red button on its collar with its nose. The speaker said, "Hello, doggy. What is your name?"
+
+Lily and Ben were surprised. The dog could repeat what they said.
+
+"Wow, that's cool. Can you say something else?" Ben said.
+
+The dog pressed the button again. The speaker said, "Wow, that's cool. Can you say something else?"
+
+Lily and Ben laughed. They thought the dog was funny. They did not notice the man hiding behind a tree. He had a remote control in his hand. He was watching them with a mean smile.
+
+He pressed another button. The speaker said, "Goodbye, kids. It was nice to meet you."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Goodbye, doggy. It was nice to meet you too."
+
+The dog pressed the button one more time. The speaker said, "Goodbye, kids. It was nice to meet you."
+
+But then, the dog's collar made a loud noise. It was a bomb. It exploded and hurt Lily and Ben very badly. The man ran away with the remote control. He was a bad man. He wanted to hurt people with his dog. He did not care about the dog either. He was very cruel.
+
+Lily and Ben did not play in the park anymore. They did not laugh anymore. They did not pet any dogs anymore. They were very sad and scared. The dog was not their friend. It was a trap. The end.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide. It is fun!" Lily says.
+
+"No, no, no. The slide is too high. I don't want to go." Ben says.
+
+Lily thinks of a way to make Ben go on the slide. She says, "I dare you to go on the slide, Ben. If you go, I will give you a pink look. You like pink looks, right?"
+
+Ben looks at Lily. He likes pink looks. Pink looks are stickers with eyes and mouths that you can stick on your face. Lily has many pink looks in her bag.
+
+"OK, OK, I will go on the slide. But you have to go first." Ben says.
+
+Lily smiles. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top and slides down. She laughs and shouts, "Whee!"
+
+Ben watches Lily. He feels a little brave. He follows her and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top and slides down. He screams and cries, "Ahh!"
+
+Lily waits for Ben at the bottom. She hugs him and says, "You did it, Ben! You are so brave! Here is your pink look."
+
+She gives him a pink look from her bag. Ben sticks it on his cheek. He smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. The slide was scary, but fun. Can we go again?"
+Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play and learn new things. One day, they see Mom cook meat in the kitchen. They are curious. They want to know what meat is and how it tastes.
+
+They go to the kitchen and ask Mom. "Mom, what is that?" Tim points to the meat. "That is meat, Tim. It is food from animals. We eat it to be strong and healthy," Mom says. "Can we try some?" Jen asks. "Not now, Jen. The meat is hot. You have to wait until dinner," Mom says.
+
+But Tim and Jen do not want to wait. They are hungry and curious. They see a plate with some meat on the table. Mom is busy with something else. They sneak to the table and grab some meat. They bite it. It is hard and chewy. They do not like it. They spit it out. "Yuck! This is not good!" Tim says. "I agree! This is not good!" Jen says. They quit eating the meat. They throw it in the trash.
+
+Mom hears them and turns around. She sees the meat in the trash. She is angry. "Tim and Jen, what did you do? You wasted the meat! That is not nice! You have to say sorry!" Mom says. Tim and Jen feel bad. They know they did something wrong. They say sorry to Mom. "We are sorry, Mom. We were curious. We wanted to try the meat. But we did not like it. We quit eating it," they say. Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she loves them. She hugs them. "I forgive you, Tim and Jen. But next time, you have to listen to me. Do not touch the meat until it is ready. And do not throw away food. Some people do not have enough food. You have to be grateful and respectful," Mom says. Tim and Jen nod. They learn their lesson. They promise to be good. They wait until dinner to eat the meat. They hope it will taste better.
+Lily and Tom were two rabbits who liked to hop and play in the field. They ate the green grass and the tasty carrots that grew there. They had a lot of fun and were happy.
+
+One day, a big dog came to the field. He saw the rabbits and wanted to catch them. He ran after them and barked loudly. Lily and Tom were scared and ran away. They looked for a safe place to hide.
+
+They saw a hole under a big tree. Lily said to Tom, "Let's go there. It looks safe." Tom said, "No, let's keep running. Maybe we can find a better place." Lily said, "But we are tired and the dog is fast. Please, stay with me." Tom said, "No, I want to go. Maybe there is a better hole somewhere else." He ran away from Lily and the hole.
+
+Lily went into the hole and hid there. The dog did not see her and ran past the tree. He saw Tom running and chased him. Tom ran and ran, but he could not find another hole. He was very tired and the dog was very close. He wished he had stayed with Lily.
+
+The dog caught Tom and bit him. Tom cried and hurt. Lily heard him and felt sad. She wished she could help him. She learned that it is better to stay with your friends and be happy with what you have, than to run away and look for something else that may not be there.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir and pour and taste. One day, mom was making hot chocolate for Lily and her brother. She told Lily to be careful, because the mugs were very hot.
+
+Lily wanted to see the hot chocolate. She climbed on a chair and reached for a mug. But mom saw her and stopped her. She said, "No, Lily, that's dangerous. You could burn yourself. Let me give you your mug when it's not so hot."
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted her hot chocolate now. She thought it would be delicious. She pouted and crossed her arms. She said, "But I'm hungry. And I'm cold. And I want to drink it."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I know, sweetie. But you have to wait a little bit. I don't want you to get hurt. I want you to enjoy your hot chocolate. Can you be patient for me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She knew mom loved her and wanted to prevent her from getting hurt. She said, "Okay, mom. I'll wait. But can I have a marshmallow on top?"
+
+Mom laughed and said, "Of course you can. You can have two marshmallows. And a cookie. And a kiss. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That sounds great. Thank you, mom. You're the best."
+
+Mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're the best, too." She gave her a kiss and a mug of hot chocolate. Lily took a sip and said, "Mmm, this is delicious. And warm. And sweet. I love it."
+
+Mom said, "I'm glad you love it. I love you."
+
+Lily said, "I love you, too, mom." She hugged her and drank her hot chocolate. She was happy and cozy. She thought, "This is the best day ever."
+Sam and Lily liked to play with their toy boat. They made a sail from a paper and a stick. They put the boat in the pond and watched it go with the wind.
+
+One day, a big dog came and barked at them. The dog ran to the pond and grabbed the boat in his mouth. He shook it and tore the sail. Sam and Lily were very sad and scared. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+"Bad dog! Go away!" a voice shouted. It was Ben, their big brother. He came and chased the dog away. He picked up the boat and looked at it. It was broken and wet.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam and Lily. The dog ruined your boat. It was a nice boat," Ben said. He was compassionate. He knew how much they loved their boat.
+
+"Can you fix it, Ben?" Sam asked.
+
+"I don't know, Sam. The sail is gone and the boat has holes. Maybe we can make a new one," Ben said.
+
+"Can we help you, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can help me find a new paper and a stick. And maybe some glue and tape. We can make a better sail and a stronger boat," Ben said.
+
+He smiled and comforted them. He took their hands and led them to the house. Sam and Lily stopped crying and followed him. They were happy to have a big brother like Ben. They hoped to play with their new boat soon.
+Ben and Lily like to play near the rail. The rail is big and shiny and makes a loud noise when the train comes. They like to wave at the train and the people inside.
+
+One day, they see a sign on the rail. The sign has a picture of a red cross and some words they cannot read. Ben thinks the sign is stupid and wants to take it off. Lily thinks the sign is important and wants to leave it alone.
+
+"Let's take the sign, Lily. It is fun to play with," Ben says.
+
+"No, Ben. The sign is there for a reason. It is not fun to play with," Lily says.
+
+They start to pull and tug at the sign. They do not see the train coming. The train is fast and loud and scary. The train driver sees the sign and the children. He blows his horn and tries to stop the train.
+
+Ben and Lily hear the horn and see the train. They are very afraid. They let go of the sign and run away from the rail. The train stops just in time. The train driver gets out and yells at them.
+
+"What are you doing, you stupid children? Don't you know the sign means danger? You could have been hurt or killed by the train. Never play near the rail again. Go home and tell your parents what you did," he says.
+
+Ben and Lily are very sorry and ashamed. They nod and run home. They tell their parents what they did. Their parents are very angry and sad. They hug them and tell them to be careful and smart. They never play near the rail again.
+Anna was a happy girl who liked to play dress-up. She had a big box of clothes and hats and scarves and jewels. One day, she found a white veil in the box. It was long and soft and shiny. She put it on her head and pretended to be a bride.
+
+She asked her brother Ben to be the groom. Ben was not very happy. He did not like to play dress-up. He liked to play with cars and trucks and dinosaurs. But Anna begged him and said, "Please, Ben, it will be fun. You just have to say 'I do' and give me a ring."
+
+Ben sighed and said, "Okay, fine. But only for a little while." He put on a suit and a tie and a hat. He found a ring in the box. It was plastic and green and had a big fake diamond. He gave it to Anna and said, "Here, this is your ring. Now can we play something else?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "No, not yet. First, we have to walk down the aisle. Come on, I will lead you." She took Ben's hand and pulled him to the door. She opened the door and saw their mom and dad sitting on the couch. They looked surprised and amused.
+
+Anna and Ben walked down the hall, pretending it was the aisle. Anna held the veil over her face and Ben held the ring. They reached the couch and said, "We are here to get married. Do you want to be the priest?"
+
+Their mom and dad laughed and said, "Sure, why not? We are happy to see you so happy. You are very cute and creative. But remember, this is only a game. You are not really getting married. You are still our children and we love you very much."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "We know, we know. But can we still say 'I do' and kiss?"
+
+Their mom and dad said, "Okay, okay. You can say 'I do' and kiss. But only on the cheek. And then you have to share the cake we made for you. It is in the kitchen. Do you want some?"
+
+Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please. We love cake. Thank you, mom and dad. You are the best." They said 'I do' and kissed on the cheek. Then they took off their clothes and hats and scarves and jewels and veil and ring. They ran to the kitchen and ate the cake. They were very happy. They forgot about the cars and trucks and dinosaurs and the bride and groom. They just enjoyed being brother and sister.
+Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked to watch them and learn their names.
+
+When they came to the gorilla house, they saw a big gorilla sitting on a rock. He had black fur and a big nose. He looked at Tom and Lily with his brown eyes.
+
+"Hello, gorilla!" Tom said. "What is your name?"
+
+The gorilla did not answer. He just grunted and scratched his head.
+
+"Maybe he is shy," Lily said. "Or maybe he does not speak our words."
+
+Tom had an idea. He picked up a stick and threw it to the gorilla. He wanted to play with him.
+
+The gorilla caught the stick and threw it back to Tom. He liked to play, too.
+
+"Wow, he is good at throwing!" Tom said. He threw the stick again, harder and farther.
+
+The gorilla threw it back, harder and farther. He wanted to show Tom that he was better.
+
+Tom and Lily took turns throwing the stick to the gorilla. They had fun, but they also wanted to win. They threw the stick faster and farther, and the gorilla did the same. They became competitive.
+
+Soon, the stick flew over the fence and landed in the water. Tom, Lily, and the gorilla could not reach it.
+
+"Oh no, the stick is gone!" Tom said. "Now we cannot play anymore."
+
+The gorilla looked sad. He liked to play with Tom and Lily. He did not mean to lose the stick.
+
+He made a loud noise and pointed to a bunch of bananas on a tree. He wanted to share them with Tom and Lily.
+
+"Look, he is offering us bananas!" Lily said. "He is nice, after all."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They thanked the gorilla and took a banana each. They peeled them and ate them. They were sweet and yummy.
+
+The gorilla ate a banana, too. He was happy. He had met new friends.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to hop and play. They have a big trip with Mom and Dad. They will go on a plane and see new things.
+
+Lily and Ben pack their bags. They put in their toys and books. They also have passports. Passports are papers that say who they are and where they go. Mom and Dad say passports are important.
+
+They go to the airport. They hop in line with Mom and Dad. They show their passports to a lady. The lady smiles and stamps their passports. She says, "Have a nice trip!"
+
+Lily and Ben hop to the gate. They see a big plane. They are excited. They hop on the plane and find their seats. They buckle their belts. They hear a voice.
+
+"Hello, this is your captain speaking. Welcome aboard. We are ready to take off. Please stay in your seats and enjoy the flight. We have a reliable crew and a reliable plane. We will get you to your destination safely and on time."
+
+Lily and Ben clap their hands. They are happy. They look out the window and see the clouds. They hop in their seats and say, "Weee!" They can't wait to see new things.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would roll it, bounce it, and kick it in the yard. Sometimes they would share the ball, and sometimes they would fight over it.
+
+One day, their mom said she had a surprise for them. She gave them each a treat: a yummy cookie with chocolate chips. Lily and Max were very happy and thanked their mom. They decided to eat their cookies outside, near the ball.
+
+But when they got to the yard, they saw a big dog. The dog was black and furry, and had sharp teeth. He saw the ball and ran towards it. He grabbed it with his mouth and shook it hard. Lily and Max were scared and ran back to the house.
+
+They told their mom what happened. Their mom said the dog was their neighbor's, and he was friendly, but sometimes naughty. She said she would talk to the neighbor and get their ball back. She hugged them and said they were brave.
+
+Lily and Max felt better, but they still missed their ball. They looked at their cookies and had an idea. They broke their cookies in half and gave each other a piece. They said they were sorry for fighting over the ball, and that they loved each other. They ate their cookies and smiled. They learned that it was better to share than to separate.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to hide and seek. Sara was good at hiding. She found a big bush and hid behind it. She saw a twig on the ground and picked it up. She thought it was a nice twig.
+
+Tom was looking for Sara. He could not find her. He walked around the park and called her name. He saw the bush and went closer. He saw the twig sticking out of the bush. He thought it was a clue.
+
+He pulled the twig and said, "I found you, Sara!" But it was not Sara. It was a bee nest. The bees were angry. They came out of the nest and stung Tom. Tom screamed and ran away. He was hurt and sad.
+
+Sara heard Tom and came out of the bush. She saw the bees and the nest. She saw Tom crying. She felt sorry for him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I did not know it was a bee nest. I just liked the twig. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom said, "No, I'm not okay. The bees stung me. It hurts. Why did you hide there? Why did you take the twig? You are a bad friend."
+
+Sara said, "I'm not a bad friend. I was just playing. I did not mean to hurt you. Please forgive me."
+
+Tom said, "No, I don't forgive you. Go away. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+Sara was sad and lonely. She wished she had been more careful and polite. She learned that hiding and seeking can be fun, but not when you hurt someone else. She learned that playing with twigs can be dangerous, and not when they belong to bees. She learned that saying sorry is not enough, and that you have to show you care.
+Anna and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. One day, they saw a big bird in the sky. It was white and graceful. It had long wings and a long neck. Anna and Lily wanted to see the bird up close.
+
+They ran after the bird. They followed it to the pond. The bird landed on the water. It was a swan. Anna and Lily were happy. They went to the edge of the pond. They tried to touch the swan. But the swan did not like that. It hissed and bit at them. It was angry and scared.
+
+Anna and Lily were sad and hurt. They ran away from the swan. They cried. They wanted to go home. They hugged each other. They said sorry to the swan. They said they were sorry for making it mad. They said they just wanted to be friends.
+
+The swan heard them. It felt sorry too. It swam to them. It did not hiss or bite. It made a soft sound. It looked at them with its black eyes. It wanted to be friends too. It let them touch its feathers. It was soft and warm.
+
+Anna and Lily smiled. They stopped crying. They thanked the swan. They said it was beautiful and graceful. They said they liked it. They said goodbye to the swan. They went back to the park. They played some more. They were happy. They were friends.
+Lily and Ben wanted to build a house for their toys. They had some boards, some nails and a hammer. But they did not know how big to make the house.
+
+"Let's measure the boards," Lily said. "We can use this string. It is long and useful."
+
+She took the string and wrapped it around one board. She made a knot where the string met. Then she cut the string with scissors.
+
+"Look, this is how long the board is," she showed Ben. "We can use the string to measure the other boards too."
+
+Ben nodded. He took the string and measured another board. He made a knot and cut the string.
+
+"Good, they are the same," he said. "We can use them for the walls of the house."
+
+They measured two more boards and made them the same. Then they nailed the boards together to make a square.
+
+"Now we need a roof," Lily said. "How can we make a roof?"
+
+They looked around and saw a big cardboard box. They cut the box into two triangles.
+
+"These can be the roof," Ben said. "We can nail them to the top of the square."
+
+They did that and made a nice roof. They painted the house with different colors. They put some windows and a door on the walls.
+
+"Wow, it looks great," Lily said. "Our toys will love it."
+
+They put their toys inside the house and played with them. They were very happy with their house. They had measured the boards well and used them wisely. They had made something useful and fun.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play dress-up with their mom's clothes and shoes. One day, they find mom's license in her purse. It is a small card with mom's face and name on it.
+
+"Look, Max, this is mom's license. It is pretty. I want to wear it," Lily says.
+
+"No, Lily, that is not for playing. It is important. Mom needs it to drive the car. Give it to me," Max says.
+
+He tries to take the license from Lily, but she holds it tight. They start to pull and tug on the card.
+
+"Stop, stop, you are going to break it!" Max shouts.
+
+"Let go, let go, it is mine!" Lily yells.
+
+They hear mom coming up the stairs. They get scared. They drop the license on the floor. It has a big tear in the middle.
+
+"Oh no, what have you done?" mom says. She sees the license and picks it up. She is angry and sad.
+
+"Lily, Max, this is very bad. You should not play with my license. It is not a toy. It is very hard to get a new one. How will I drive the car now?" mom says.
+
+Lily and Max feel sorry. They did not mean to hurt mom's license. They hug mom and say they are sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We just wanted to wear something pretty. We love you, mom," they say.
+
+Mom sighs. She hugs them back. She loves them too.
+
+"It is okay, my loves. I know you did not mean it. But you have to be more careful. Some things are not for playing. They are for grown-ups. Do you understand?" mom says.
+
+Lily and Max nod. They understand. They promise to be more careful. They help mom put away her clothes and shoes. They find some old hats and scarves to wear instead. They smile and laugh. They are happy.
+Lily liked to play with shapes. She had a box of shapes that had holes in them. She also had a board with pegs that matched the holes. She could put the shapes on the pegs and make pictures.
+
+One day, she wanted to make a picture of a house. She looked for a square shape for the walls, a triangle shape for the roof, and a circle shape for the door. She found the square and the triangle, but she could not find the circle. She looked in the box, under the table, and behind the sofa. She was sad.
+
+She asked her brother Ben, who was reading a book, if he had seen the circle shape. Ben looked up and said, "No, I have not seen it. Maybe it is in your room." Lily went to her room and looked for the circle shape. She looked in her bed, in her closet, and in her toy box. She was very sad.
+
+She came back to Ben and said, "I cannot find the circle shape. I need it for my house. Please, can you help me?" Ben saw that Lily was very sad. He put down his book and said, "OK, I will help you. Let's look together."
+
+They looked in the living room, in the kitchen, and in the bathroom. They still could not find the circle shape. They were about to give up, when they saw something shiny on the window sill. It was the circle shape! It was reflecting the sun and making a charming rainbow. Lily was very happy. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. Look, the circle shape is making a rainbow. It is very pretty." Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister. Yes, the circle shape is very pretty. Let's make your house now." They went to the board and made the house with the shapes. They were very proud of their picture.
+Lila likes to do things with her mom. They like to cook, to read, to play, and to sing. Lila's mom is very good at cooking. She knows how to use herbs to make the food tasty. Herbs are green plants that smell nice.
+
+One day, Lila and her mom went to the market. They saw many things there. They saw fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and flowers. They also saw herbs. Lila's mom wanted to buy some herbs for their dinner. She asked Lila to help her choose.
+
+Lila looked at the herbs. She saw mint, basil, parsley, and rosemary. She smelled them and touched them. She liked mint the best. It smelled fresh and sweet. She said to her mom, "Can we get mint, please?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, we can get mint. Mint is good for many things. We can use it for tea, for salad, for lamb, or for dessert. Mint is a fine herb. Good choice, Lila."
+
+Lila was happy. She put the mint in their basket. She felt proud that she helped her mom. She thought, "I like to do things with my mom. We have fun together. I love her very much."
+Ben liked to ride his bike in the park. He saw many things: trees, flowers, dogs, and pigeons. He liked pigeons. They were gray and white and made funny sounds. Sometimes he gave them bread crumbs.
+
+One day, he saw a big pigeon on the grass. It was bigger than the others. It had a red band on its leg. Ben wanted to ride the pigeon. He thought it would be fun. He got off his bike and walked slowly to the pigeon.
+
+"Hello, pigeon," he said. "Can I ride you? You are very big and pretty."
+
+The pigeon looked at Ben. It did not fly away. It did not make a sound. It just stared at him.
+
+Ben thought the pigeon said yes. He was happy. He put his hands on the pigeon's back and tried to climb on it. He was careless. He did not see the pigeon's wings and claws.
+
+The pigeon did not like Ben. It did not want to be ridden. It was angry. It flapped its wings and pecked at Ben's hands. It scratched his face with its claws. It made a loud noise.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He let go of the pigeon and fell on the grass. He was hurt and scared. He ran to his bike and rode away. He did not look at the pigeons anymore.
+
+He learned a lesson. He should not ride pigeons. They are not bikes. They are birds. They do not like to be touched. He should be careful and respectful. He should only watch them from afar.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox.
+
+"Let's go to the slide first!" Lily said. She loved to slide down fast and feel the wind in her hair.
+
+"OK!" Max said. He followed Lily to the slide. They took turns sliding down and laughing.
+
+After a while, they got hungry. Their moms gave them each a muffin. Lily had a blueberry muffin and Max had a chocolate muffin.
+
+"Yum, this is so good!" Lily said. She took a big bite of her muffin.
+
+"Me too!" Max said. He also took a big bite of his muffin.
+
+But then, a bird flew by and snatched Max's muffin from his hand. Max was shocked and sad. He started to cry.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. She was angry at the bird. She wanted to help Max.
+
+She looked at her muffin. She still had half of it left. She thought for a moment. Then, she broke her muffin in two and gave one piece to Max.
+
+"Here, you can have some of mine," she said. She smiled at Max.
+
+Max stopped crying. He looked at Lily. He saw that she was a good friend. He smiled back at her.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," he said. He took the piece of muffin and ate it. It was still good.
+
+"You're welcome, Max," Lily said. She ate her piece of muffin too. It was still good.
+
+They hugged each other. They were happy again.
+
+Their moms watched them and smiled. They were proud of their kids. They knew that Lily and Max were reliable friends. They would always share and care for each other. They shrugged and said, "Kids will be kids." They ate their own muffins and enjoyed the sunny day.
+Anna and Ben like to help Mom with the laundry. They take the dirty clothes from the basket and load them into the big machine. Mom adds some soap and turns on the machine. It makes a lot of noise and bubbles.
+
+Anna and Ben wait for the machine to finish. They play with their toys and books. They hear a beep. The machine is done. Mom opens the door and takes out the clothes. They are wet and clean. She puts them in another machine that makes them dry and warm.
+
+Anna and Ben help Mom to fold the clothes. They make neat piles of shirts, pants, socks and underwear. They put them in the drawers and closets. Mom is happy with their help. She gives them a hug and a kiss. They are proud of their work. They like the result. The clothes are clean and tidy. They smell good. They are ready to wear.
+Lila and her mom went to the shop. They wanted to buy a new coat for Lila. It was cold outside and Lila's old coat was too small.
+
+They looked at many coats in the shop. Some were red, some were blue, some were green. Some had buttons, some had zippers, some had pockets. Lila tried on some coats, but she did not like them. They were too big or too tight or too scratchy.
+
+Then Lila saw a coat that she liked. It was pink and soft and had a hood with ears. She put it on and looked in the mirror. She smiled and said, "Mom, I like this coat. It is comfortable and warm. Can we buy it?"
+
+Mom looked at the price tag and nodded. She said, "Yes, we can buy it. It is a good coat for you. It fits you well and it matches your skin. You look very cute in it."
+
+Lila hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever. I love you and I love my new coat." They went to the cashier and paid for the coat. Then they went outside and walked home. Lila felt happy and cozy in her new coat. She waved at the people and the cars and the birds. She said, "Look, mom, I have a new coat. It is pink and soft and has ears. Do you like it?"
+
+Mom said, "I love it, Lila. And I love you more." They hugged and kissed and walked home. They were happy and warm. They had a good day.
+Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles. They also liked to look for shells and crabs. They saw a cute crab with big claws and red spots. They wanted to catch it and put it in their bucket.
+
+"Look, Ben, a cute crab!" Lily said. "Let's catch it!"
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. It might pinch you!" Ben said.
+
+They ran after the crab, but it was fast and smart. It ran away from them and hid under a rock. They tried to lift the rock, but it was too heavy. They tried to poke the crab with a stick, but it snapped at them. They tried to splash water on the crab, but it did not come out.
+
+The crab did not want to be caught. It wanted to escape. It waited until Lily and Ben were busy with something else. Then it crawled out of the rock and ran towards the sea. It hoped to find a safe place to hide.
+
+Lily and Ben saw the crab running away. They chased it again, but they were too late. The crab reached the sea and dived into the water. It waved its claws at them and disappeared.
+
+"Bye, bye, cute crab!" Lily said. "Maybe we will see you again!"
+
+"Bye, bye, cute crab!" Ben said. "You are very good at escaping!"
+Lily liked to sing. She sang every day at home, in the car, and at school. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. She sang loud and clear, and sometimes she made up her own words.
+
+One day, she had a new pupil in her class. His name was Ben. He was very quiet and shy. He did not talk to anyone, and he did not sing. He just sat in his seat and looked at his books. Lily thought he was weird.
+
+She wanted to be his friend, so she decided to sing to him. She walked up to his desk and sang a song she learned from her mom. It was about a bird and a worm. She sang with a big smile and made funny faces.
+
+Ben looked at her with wide eyes. He did not smile. He did not laugh. He did not say anything. He just stared at her. Lily felt awkward. She stopped singing and walked away. She thought he did not like her.
+
+The next day, she tried again. She sang a different song, one she learned from her dad. It was about a dog and a cat. She sang with a lot of energy and moved her arms and legs. Ben looked at her again. He still did not smile. He still did not laugh. He still did not say anything. He just stared at her. Lily felt sad. She stopped singing and walked away. She thought he hated her.
+
+The day after that, she did not sing to him. She did not talk to him. She did not look at him. She ignored him. She thought he was too weird. She played with her other friends and sang with them.
+
+But then, something happened. During the music lesson, the teacher asked everyone to sing a song together. It was a song they all knew, about a rainbow and a pot of gold. Lily sang with her friends, but she also listened to the other pupils. And then, she heard something. She heard a voice. A voice that was soft and sweet. A voice that was singing. A voice that was Ben's.
+
+She turned her head and saw him. He was singing. He was singing with the class. He was singing with her. He looked at her and smiled. He smiled a big smile. He smiled a beautiful smile. He smiled a friendly smile.
+
+Lily smiled back. She felt happy. She felt surprised. She felt curious. She sang louder and clearer. She sang with Ben. She thought he was not weird. She thought he was wonderful.
+Tommy liked to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he ate, and when he went to bed. He whistled songs he heard on the radio, and songs he made up in his head. He whistled so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to be quiet.
+
+One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom. He saw a big balloon stand with many colorful balloons. He wanted a balloon very much. He ran to the stand and pointed at a red balloon with a smiley face on it.
+
+"Mom, can I have that balloon?" he asked.
+
+Mom looked at the balloon and saw a sign that said "Five dollars". She shook her head.
+
+"Sorry, Tommy, that balloon is too expensive. We don't have enough money for that. How about a smaller balloon for one dollar?" she said.
+
+Tommy felt sad. He really liked the red balloon. He looked at the smaller balloons, but they were not as nice. He pouted and whistled a sad song.
+
+The balloon man heard Tommy's whistle. He smiled and walked over to him.
+
+"Hey, kid, you have a good whistle. I like your song. Do you want to trade your whistle for a balloon?" he asked.
+
+Tommy looked at the balloon man. He liked his whistle, but he liked the red balloon more. He nodded and gave the balloon man his whistle.
+
+The balloon man gave Tommy the red balloon. He thanked him and said, "You have a great whistle, kid. You can whistle the whole world with it. But I need it more than you. I have to whistle to sell my balloons. You can have this balloon instead. It's not as expensive, but it's just as nice."
+
+Tommy smiled and hugged the red balloon. He thanked the balloon man and ran back to his mom. He was happy. He still liked to whistle, but he liked his balloon more. He whistled a happy song as he flew his balloon in the sky. He felt like he had the whole world in his hand.
+Sam and Mia were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They liked to look at the water and the other boats in the harbor. They saw many colors and shapes and sounds.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Mia said, pointing at a white bird with a long neck and a big beak. "What is it?"
+
+"It is a swan," mom said. "It is a harmless bird that likes to swim and eat plants. Do you want to feed it some bread?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Sam and Mia said. Mom gave them some bread and they threw it to the swan. The swan came closer and ate the bread. It made a soft noise and moved its head up and down.
+
+"Hello, swan!" Sam said. "You are pretty and nice. Can I touch you?"
+
+"Be careful, Sam," dad said. "The swan may not like it. It may bite you with its beak."
+
+Sam did not listen. He reached out his hand to touch the swan's feathers. The swan did not like it. It bit Sam's finger with its beak. Sam cried out and pulled back his hand.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam said. "The swan hurt me! It is not harmless!"
+
+Mom took Sam's hand and looked at his finger. It was red and sore, but not bleeding. She kissed it and hugged him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam," mom said. "The swan did not mean to hurt you. It was scared and angry. You should not touch animals that you do not know. They may not like it. You should always ask first."
+
+Sam nodded and sniffed. He looked at the swan. The swan looked at him. They blinked at each other. Sam felt a little better. He said sorry to the swan.
+
+"It's okay, Sam," Mia said. "The swan is still pretty and nice. Maybe it will be your friend if you are gentle and kind."
+
+Sam smiled and nodded. He threw some more bread to the swan. The swan ate it and made a soft noise. It moved its head up and down. Sam and Mia laughed and clapped. They liked the swan. They liked the big boat and the harbor. They had fun.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big tree with red fruits on it. They were cherries, and they looked yummy. Lily and Ben wanted to pick some cherries, but they were too high.
+
+They saw a ladder leaning on the wall. They had an idea. They were clever twins. They moved the ladder to the tree and climbed up. They reached the cherries and started to eat them. They were sweet and juicy.
+
+But they did not see the bird in the tree. It was a crow, and it was angry. It did not like the twins eating its cherries. It flew out of the tree and made a loud noise. It scared Lily and Ben. They dropped their cherries and screamed.
+
+They ran down the ladder and ran to their mom. She was in the kitchen. She saw them and hugged them. She asked them what happened. They told her about the crow and the cherries. She said they should not take fruits from other animals. She said they should ask first. She said they were sorry.
+
+She gave them some cookies and milk. They felt better. They learned a lesson. They said they would not scare the crow again. They said they would be nice to the animals in the garden. They said they loved their mom. She said she loved them too.
+Sara and Tom liked to help Mom with the dishes. They took turns to put the plates and cups in the dishwasher. Mom said they were good helpers.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to put all the dishes in the dishwasher by herself. She said to Tom, "I can do it. You go play with your toys." Tom did not like that. He wanted to help too. He said, "No, I want to help. Let me put some dishes in." But Sara did not listen. She said, "No, no, no. It is my turn. Go away." She pushed Tom away from the dishwasher.
+
+Tom was angry and sad. He ran to his room and slammed the door. He did not want to play with his toys. He wanted to help Mom and Sara. He cried on his bed.
+
+Sara kept putting the dishes in the dishwasher. She did not care about Tom. She wanted to do it all by herself. She did not notice that the dishwasher was full. She tried to put one more plate in, but it did not fit. She pushed hard on the plate, but it did not move. She pushed harder and harder, but it still did not move. She insisted on putting the plate in.
+
+Then, something bad happened. The plate broke. It made a loud noise. It cut Sara's hand. It made a lot of blood. Sara screamed. She was scared and hurt. She dropped the plate and ran to Mom. Mom saw Sara's hand and the blood. She was shocked and worried. She took Sara to the bathroom and wrapped her hand with a cloth. She said, "Sara, what did you do? Why did you break the plate? Why did you not listen to Tom? You were not a good helper. You were a bad sister."
+
+Sara felt sorry and ashamed. She wished she had listened to Tom. She wished she had not broken the plate. She wished she had not hurt her hand. She said, "Mom, I am sorry. I was wrong. I was mean to Tom. I was silly. I did not mean to break the plate. I did not mean to hurt myself. Please forgive me."
+
+Mom said, "Sara, I forgive you. But you have to learn to share and be nice to Tom. He is your brother. He loves you. He wanted to help you. You have to say sorry to him too. And you have to be careful with the dishes. They are not toys. They can break and hurt you. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I will say sorry to Tom. I will share and be nice to him. I will be careful with the dishes. I will be a good helper and a good sister."
+
+Mom said, "That's good, Sara. I love you. But you still have to go to the doctor. Your hand needs stitches. It will hurt a lot. And you will not be able to play with your toys for a long time. You have to be brave and strong."
+
+Sara said, "OK, Mom. I will be brave and strong. But I am still scared."
+
+Mom said, "I know, Sara. I am scared too. But we will go together. And Tom will be with us too. He will forgive you and hug you. He will make you feel better. He is a good brother."
+
+Sara said, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Tom. I love you both. I am sorry."
+
+Mom said, "You're welcome, Sara. We love you too. Come on, let's go to the doctor. It will be OK."
+
+They left the house and got in the car. The dishwasher was still full of dishes. Some of them were broken. The kitchen was a mess. It was a bad day.
+Lily loved to go to the park with her mom and dad. She liked to play on the swings, slide down the slide, and run on the grass. She also liked to see the animals that lived in the park, like the birds, the squirrels, and the dogs.
+
+One day, she saw a beautiful dog with white fur and brown spots. It was big and fluffy and had a friendly face. Lily wanted to pet the dog, so she ran towards it. But the dog did not like that. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. Lily was scared and stopped. She did not know why the dog was angry.
+
+The dog's owner came and held the dog's leash. He said sorry to Lily and her mom and dad. He said the dog was not used to strangers and was afraid of them. He said the dog needed time and space to feel safe and calm. He said Lily should always ask before she touched a dog, and wait for the owner to say yes.
+
+Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that animals have feelings too, and that they can be scared or happy or sad. She learned that she should be kind and gentle and respectful to animals, and not make them feel threatened or hurt. She learned that beautiful fur does not mean a friendly dog, and that she should always be careful and ask before she petted a dog. She still loved to go to the park, but she was more careful and polite to the animals she saw.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, balls, dolls, and animals.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a leopard. It is yellow and black and soft. Tim and Sam like the leopard. They give it a name. They call it Leo.
+
+"Leo is jolly," Tim says. "He likes to run and jump and play."
+
+"Yes, he is," Sam says. "He is our friend. We can take him everywhere."
+
+They take Leo to the slide, the swing, the sandbox, and the fountain. They have fun with Leo. Leo is happy.
+
+But then, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and hairy and loud. The dog sees Leo. The dog wants Leo. The dog runs to Leo. He barks and growls and snarls.
+
+"Help, help!" Tim and Sam shout. "The dog wants Leo! He wants to take him away!"
+
+They are scared. They do not want to lose Leo. They love Leo. They think fast. They have an idea.
+
+They run to the sandbox. They dig a hole. They bury Leo in the hole. They cover him with sand. They make a hill. They put a stick on the hill.
+
+"Shh, shh," Tim and Sam whisper. "Leo, be quiet. Stay in the hole. The dog will not find you. The stick is a flag. It tells us where you are. We will come back for you."
+
+The dog comes to the sandbox. He sniffs and searches. He does not see Leo. He does not smell Leo. He is confused. He is angry. He gives up. He goes away.
+
+Tim and Sam wait. They watch. They see the dog leave. They are happy. They are relieved.
+
+They go to the hole. They dig Leo out. They hug Leo. They kiss Leo. Leo is safe. Leo is dirty. Leo is jolly.
+
+"Leo, we are sorry," Tim and Sam say. "We had to bury you. The dog was bad. He wanted to hurt you. We saved you. We are your friends."
+
+Leo nods. He licks Tim and Sam. He purrs. He is grateful. He is not mad.
+
+"Leo, we love you," Tim and Sam say. "You are our jolly leopard. You are our best toy. You are our hero."
+
+They take Leo to the fountain. They wash Leo. They dry Leo. They play with Leo. They have fun with Leo. Leo is happy.
+Tommy was very enthusiastic about his new tie. He got it from his grandma for his birthday. It was blue and had stars on it. He wanted to wear it all the time, even when he played.
+
+One day, he decided to imagine that he was a superhero with his tie. He put it around his neck and ran around the house, making noises and pretending to fly. He felt very happy and brave.
+
+But he did not notice that his tie was too long and loose. When he ran past the kitchen, his tie got caught on the door handle. He tripped and fell hard on the floor. He hit his head and started to cry. His tie was torn and dirty.
+
+His mom heard him and came to help him. She hugged him and checked his head. She said he was lucky that he did not hurt himself more. She said he should not wear his tie when he played, because it was dangerous and could choke him. She said he should only wear his tie for special occasions, like going to church or visiting grandma.
+
+Tommy felt sad and sorry. He realized that he was silly and careless. He said he was sorry to his mom and his grandma. He said he would not wear his tie when he played anymore. He learned that he should be careful and responsible with his things. He also learned that imagination was fun, but not more important than safety.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. It was a sunny day and they were having fun.
+
+But then Tom kicked the ball too hard and it went over the fence. Lily ran after the ball and tried to climb the fence. She wanted to get the ball back. But the fence was sharp and it hurt her hand. She cried out loud and fell down.
+
+Tom heard Lily cry and ran to her. He saw blood on her hand and felt scared. He hugged Lily and said, "Don't cry, Lily. I will get help. You will be okay."
+
+He saw a man walking his dog nearby and shouted, "Help, help! My sister is hurt. She needs an ambulance."
+
+The man heard Tom and came to see what was wrong. He saw Lily's hand and said, "Oh, dear. That looks bad. Don't worry, I have a phone. I will call an ambulance. They will come soon and take you to the hospital. They will make your hand better."
+
+He called the ambulance and waited with Tom and Lily. They heard the siren and saw the big red car with a cross on it. The ambulance stopped near them and two people came out. They had white clothes and bags. They were very kind and gentle. They looked at Lily's hand and put a bandage on it. They said, "You are a brave girl, Lily. You have a cut on your hand, but it will heal. We will take you to the hospital and give you some medicine. You will feel better soon."
+
+They lifted Lily on a stretcher and put her in the ambulance. They said to Tom, "You can come with us, too. You are a good brother, Tom. You helped your sister a lot."
+
+Tom nodded and got in the ambulance. He held Lily's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to kick the ball so hard. I love you, Lily."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you, too, Tom. It's okay. It was an accident. Thank you for getting help. You are a hero, Tom."
+
+They hugged each other and felt safe. They were tired from the shock and the pain, but they knew they would be okay. The ambulance drove away with them, and the man and his dog waved goodbye.
+Sara and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat pizza. They saw a restaurant with a big sign that said "Pizza". They ran to the door, but it was locked. They tried to push and pull, but it did not open.
+
+They looked around and saw a man with a key. He was hairy and wore a hat. He looked angry. He said, "Go away, kids. This restaurant is closed. You can't eat here."
+
+Sara and Tom were sad. They did not like the hairy man. They wanted to eat pizza. They saw a window with pizza inside. They had an idea. They found a big rock and threw it at the window. The window broke and made a loud noise.
+
+The hairy man heard the noise and came out. He saw the broken window and the rock. He saw Sara and Tom with pizza in their hands. He was very angry. He shouted, "Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my pizza!"
+
+Sara and Tom were scared. They dropped the pizza and ran away. They ran and ran until they found a park. They saw a nice lady with a dog. The dog was hairy, but not angry. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. The lady smiled and said, "Hello, kids. Are you hungry? I have some sandwiches and cookies. Do you want some?"
+
+Sara and Tom nodded and smiled. They liked the lady and the dog. They ate the sandwiches and cookies. They forgot about the pizza and the hairy man. They were happy.
+Mia and Leo are friends. They like to play in the classroom. They have a lot of toys and books. Sometimes they draw pictures on the desk. The desk is big and brown.
+
+One day, Mia and Leo find a book with a picture of a princess and a prince. They look at the book and smile. They want to pretend to be the princess and the prince.
+
+"Can I be the princess?" Mia asks.
+
+"OK, you can be the princess. I will be the prince." Leo says.
+
+They put on some hats and scarves. They sit on the desk. They hold hands.
+
+"You are very pretty, princess." Leo says.
+
+"Thank you, prince. You are very brave." Mia says.
+
+They lean closer and closer. They kiss each other on the cheek. They are very happy. They are enthusiastic.
+
+The teacher sees them and laughs. She thinks they are very cute. She takes a picture of them with her phone.
+
+"Wow, you are very good at pretending. What are you playing?" The teacher asks.
+
+"We are playing princess and prince. We kissed like in the book." Mia says.
+
+"That's very sweet. But remember, you have to ask before you kiss someone. And you have to be careful with the desk. It might be slippery." The teacher says.
+
+"OK, teacher. We will ask and be careful." Leo says.
+
+They hug the teacher and go back to playing. They are still friends. They still like to kiss.
+Lila was a pupil in a big school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. But she did not like Mr. Fox, her teacher. He was tough and mean. He always gave them hard work and shouted at them.
+
+One day, Mr. Fox gave them a test. He said they had to write many words and numbers. Lila felt scared. She did not know all the words and numbers. She looked at her paper and felt sad.
+
+She saw Ben, her friend, next to her. He looked scared too. He whispered to her, "Can you help me, please? I don't know this word." Lila wanted to help him, but she was afraid of Mr. Fox. She whispered back, "I don't know it either. I'm sorry."
+
+Mr. Fox heard them whisper. He walked to their desks and looked angry. He said, "What are you doing? You are not allowed to talk. Give me your papers. You both get a zero."
+
+Lila and Ben felt bad. They gave him their papers and hung their heads. They wished they had a nice teacher who would help them and be kind. They hoped Mr. Fox would not be their teacher for long.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is big and brown and likes to run and jump.
+
+One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has a lot of boxes in the back. The boxes are heavy and have words on them. Lily and Tom want to know what is in the boxes.
+
+They go near the truck and gaze at the boxes. They see one box that is open. They peek inside and see a lot of toys. There are dolls and cars and balls and books. Lily and Tom are very happy. They want to play with the toys.
+
+But then they hear a loud voice. It is the man who drives the truck. He is angry. He sees Lily and Tom and Spot near his truck. He says, "Hey, you kids, get away from my truck! These are not your toys! These are for the store!"
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They run away from the truck with Spot. They go back to their mom, who is sitting on a bench. They tell her what they saw and what the man said. Their mom hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. You should not touch things that are not yours. The man was right. Those toys are for the store. Maybe we can go to the store later and buy some toys for you."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They understand. They are still curious, but they are also good. They play with Spot and their mom in the park. They have fun. They forget about the truck and the boxes and the toys. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run, slide and swing. They are having fun.
+
+"Look, Anna!" Ben says. "What is that in the sky?"
+
+Anna looks up. She sees a big purple light. It is round and shiny. It is not the sun or the moon. It is something else.
+
+"Wow, Ben!" Anna says. "It is so pretty! What is it?"
+
+"I don't know, Anna," Ben says. "Maybe it is a star. A big purple star."
+
+They watch the purple light for a while. It does not move. It does not make any sound. It just glows.
+
+"Let's go closer, Ben," Anna says. "Maybe we can touch it."
+
+"OK, Anna," Ben says. "But be careful. It might be hot."
+
+They run towards the purple light. They are curious and excited. They want to see it better.
+
+But as they get closer, the purple light changes. It becomes smaller and smaller. It fades and disappears.
+
+"Hey, where did it go?" Ben says. "It was here a moment ago."
+
+"I don't know, Ben," Anna says. "Maybe it was shy. Maybe it did not want us to see it."
+
+They are sad and disappointed. They wanted to play with the purple light. They wanted to know what it was.
+
+They look around. They see the sun and the moon and the stars. They are still there. They are still bright and beautiful.
+
+But they are not purple. They are not the same.
+
+They miss the purple light. They hope it will come back someday. They will never forget it.

+
+One day, Sara's train falls off the track and breaks. Sara is sad and cries. Tom says, "Don't cry, Sara. I can heal your train. I have glue and tape. I can fix it for you."
+
+Tom takes Sara's train and tries to heal it. He puts glue on the broken parts and tapes them together. He works hard and hopes Sara will be happy.
+
+But when he gives the train back to Sara, she is not happy. She is angry. She says, "This is not my train. This is a bad train. You made it worse. You ruined my train. I hate you, Tom."
+
+Sara throws the train at Tom and hits him in the head. Tom is hurt and cries. Sara runs away and slams the door. Tom is alone and sad. He wishes he could heal his head and his heart. He wishes Sara would be his friend again. He is not proud of what he did. He is sorry.
+Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. They both had bicycles, but Tim's bicycle was old and rough. It had a broken bell, a flat tire, and a rusty chain. Lily's bicycle was new and shiny. It had a bright horn, a smooth ride, and a basket with flowers.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily decided to go to the park on their bicycles. They rode along the road, but Tim was slow and sad. He wished he had a bicycle like Lily's. He saw a big hill ahead and thought of a plan.
+
+"Hey, Lily, let's race to the top of the hill!" he said.
+
+"OK, Tim, but you have to be careful. Your bicycle is rough and the hill is steep," Lily said.
+
+They started to pedal faster and faster. Tim was ahead of Lily, but he did not see the big rock on the road. He hit the rock and lost his balance. He fell off his bicycle and rolled down the hill. He scraped his knees, his elbows, and his face. He cried out loud.
+
+Lily saw what happened and stopped her bicycle. She ran to Tim and tried to help him. She was scared and sorry.
+
+"Tim, are you OK? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to race you. Your bicycle is rough and the hill is steep," she said.
+
+Tim looked at Lily and felt angry and ashamed. He did not want her to see him cry. He did not want her to help him. He wanted her bicycle.
+
+"Go away, Lily! You have a nice bicycle and I have a rough bicycle. You are a bad friend and I don't want to play with you anymore," he said.
+
+Lily was hurt and confused. She did not understand why Tim was so mean. She liked Tim and wanted to be his friend. She picked up her bicycle and rode away. She did not look back.
+
+Tim was alone and in pain. He wished he had not raced Lily. He wished he had not hit the rock. He wished he had not said those words. He wished he had a friend.

+
+Soon, it is their turn. They get on a seat and buckle up. The big wheel starts to move. It goes up and down and around. Lily and Sam see many things from the big wheel. They see the trees, the birds, the cars, the people. They feel the wind and the sun.
+

+
+Sam also wants to try some perfume. The lady sprays some on his wrist too. He smells it and makes a face.
+
+"Yuck, it smells bad!" Sam says.
+
+The lady laughs. "That's okay, not everyone likes the same perfume. Maybe you'll find one that you like someday." she says.
+
+The big wheel stops. Lily and Sam get off the seat and wave goodbye to the lady. They thank her for the perfume. They run to their parents and tell them about their ride. They are happy.

+
+"Sorry, Mom. We could not share," Anna says.
+
+Mom sighs. She picks up the pieces of the truck and puts them in a box. She sits down on the couch and calls the twins to her.
+
+"Tom and Anna, listen to me. You are twins, and you are powerful. You can do many things together, and you can have fun. But you have to be kind and fair to each other. You have to share and take turns. You have to behave, or you will lose your toys and your friends. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We understand," Tom and Anna say.
+
+"Good. Now, I want you to hug and say sorry to each other. Then, you can play with your other toys. But remember, I will be the judge. If you fight again, you will have a time out. OK?" Mom says.

+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to eat the apples, but they are too high.
+
+"Let's jump and get them!" Tom says. He jumps and jumps, but he cannot reach the apples. He falls on the grass and hurts his knee.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he cries. "The apples are too hard to get!"
+
+Lily feels sorry for Tom. She has an idea. She sees a big stick on the ground. She picks it up and runs to the tree.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a stick!" she says. "I can use it to hit the apples and make them fall!"
+
+She swings the stick and hits a branch. An apple falls and rolls to Tom.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you are smart!" Tom says. He picks up the apple and smiles. "Thank you for the apple!"
+
+They share the apple and eat it. It is sweet and juicy. They are happy. They hug and say, "We are good friends!"
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But soon they started to feel tired and bored. They yawned and rubbed their eyes.
+
+"Let's go see what Mom is doing," Anna suggested.
+
+"Okay," Ben agreed.
+
+They walked to the kitchen, where Mom was making tea. She smiled when she saw them.
+
+"Hello, my little ones. Are you hungry or thirsty?" she asked.
+
+"A little," Anna said.
+
+"Me too," Ben said.
+
+Mom poured some tea into two small cups and added some milk and honey. She gave them to Anna and Ben, who sat on the chairs.
+
+"Be careful, it's hot," Mom warned.
+
+Anna and Ben blew on their tea and sipped it slowly. It was sweet and warm. They felt cozy and happy.
+
+"Mom, can you tell us a story?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, what kind of story do you want to hear?" Mom asked.
+
+"A story about a huge dragon," Ben said.
+
+"A huge dragon? Hmm, let me think," Mom said.
+
+She looked around the kitchen and saw a big pot on the stove. She had an idea.
+
+"Once upon a time, there was a huge dragon who lived in a cave. He loved to cook and eat all kinds of food. He had a big pot where he made soup, stew, and curry. He was very proud of his pot and never let anyone touch it. But one day, he went out to hunt for more food and left his pot on the fire. He didn't know that a little mouse was hiding in his cave. The mouse smelled the delicious soup and decided to take a sip. He climbed on the pot and dipped his tail in the soup. But the soup was too hot and the mouse squeaked in pain. He jumped off the pot and ran away. But he left his tail behind, in the soup. When the dragon came back, he saw his pot and his soup. He was very hungry and eager to eat. He didn't notice the mouse tail in the soup. He took a big spoon and scooped some soup into his mouth. But as soon as he tasted the soup, he spat it out. He felt something furry and chewy in his mouth. He looked at the soup and saw the mouse tail. He was so angry and disgusted that he roared and threw his pot away. He never cooked or ate soup again. The end."
+
+Anna and Ben laughed and clapped their hands. They liked the story.
+
+"That was a funny story, Mom," Anna said.
+
+"Yeah, poor dragon," Ben said.
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed their cheeks.
+
+"I'm glad you liked it. Now, finish your tea and then we can go to bed. It's getting late," she said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and drank their tea. They felt sleepy and warm. They yawned and smiled. They loved their mom and her stories.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the hedge. The hedge was big and green and had many birds and bugs in it. Sometimes they saw a rabbit or a mouse.
+
+One day, they heard a soft cry from the hedge. They went closer and saw a small bird on the ground. It had a broken wing and looked very sad. Tom and Lily felt sorry for the bird. They wanted to help it.
+
+"Hello, bird," Lily said. "What is your name? Why are you crying?"
+
+The bird looked at them with big eyes. It said, "My name is Blue. I was flying with my family, but a big cat chased us. I fell from the sky and hurt my wing. Now I can't fly and I miss my family."
+
+Tom and Lily were compassionate. They knew how it felt to miss someone. They decided to offer the bird some water and food. They found a bowl and filled it with water from the tap. They also picked some berries and seeds from the garden. They brought them to the bird and said, "Here, Blue. Drink some water and eat some food. It will make you feel better."
+
+The bird was grateful. It drank some water and ate some food. It said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very kind and generous. You are my friends."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They were happy to make a new friend. They said, "You are welcome, Blue. We are your friends. We will take care of you until your wing heals. Then you can fly again and find your family."
+
+The bird nodded. It felt safe and loved. It said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are the best friends a bird could have."
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Tom brings a new toy to Lily's house. It is a calendar with pictures of animals. Tom says, "Look, Lily, this is my calendar. It is very nice. I value it a lot. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily nods and smiles. She likes animals too. She takes the calendar from Tom and opens it. She sees a lion, a monkey, a giraffe, and more. She says, "Wow, Tom, this is a great calendar. I like it too. Can I have it?"
+
+Tom frowns and shakes his head. He says, "No, Lily, you cannot have it. It is mine. I value it a lot. Give it back to me."
+
+Lily does not want to give it back. She says, "No, Tom, I want it. It is nice. You have many toys. You can share it with me."
+
+Tom and Lily start to pull the calendar. They both want it. They do not share. They do not listen. They do not play nice. The calendar rips. Tom and Lily both cry. They both feel hurt. They both lose the calendar.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come to see what is wrong. They see the ripped calendar and the sad children. They say, "Tom, Lily, what happened? Why did you rip the calendar? Why did you not share? Why did you not play nice?"
+
+Tom and Lily look at Mom and Dad. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We both liked the calendar. We both wanted it. We did not value our friendship. We did not value the calendar. We were selfish. We were mean. We were wrong."
+
+Mom and Dad hug Tom and Lily. They say, "We are glad you are sorry. We hope you learned a lesson. Friendship is more important than things. Sharing is more caring than keeping. Playing nice is more fun than fighting. Value what you have. Value who you have. Say sorry to each other. Be friends again."
+
+Tom and Lily hug each other. They say, "We are sorry, Tom. We are sorry, Lily. We value our friendship. We value the calendar. We will share. We will play nice. We will be friends again."
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They say, "We are proud of you, Tom and Lily. You are good children. You are good friends. You made a mistake, but you fixed it. You learned a lesson. You grew up a little. Here is a new calendar for you. It has pictures of animals too. You can both enjoy it. You can both value it. But remember, value each other more."
+Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play outside. One day, they saw a lot of snow falling from the sky. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots and ran outside. They wanted to make a snowman and have a snowball fight.

+They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, a scarf, a hat and some buttons to make the snowman's face and clothes. They gave him a name: Frosty. They were very proud of their snowman. He looked happy and friendly.
+
+"Hi, Frosty!" Tom said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+"Of course, I do!" Frosty said. Tom and Lily were surprised. They did not know that their snowman could talk. "You made me with love and magic. You gave me life. Thank you!"
+
+Tom and Lily were happy too. They had a new friend. They asked Frosty if he wanted to join their snowball fight. Frosty agreed. He said he was very good at throwing snowballs. He had a powerful arm.
+
+They divided into two teams: Tom and Frosty versus Lily and a snow bunny. They made a lot of snowballs and hid behind snow forts. They threw snowballs at each other and laughed. They had a lot of fun.

+They tried to hide their broccoli under their plates, but their mom saw them. She said they had to eat their broccoli or they could not play with their toy boat. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They did not want to eat their broccoli, but they also did not want to lose their toy boat.
+
+They decided to sneak out of the kitchen and take their toy boat to the pond. They thought their mom would not notice. They ran to the pond and put their toy boat in the water. They started to sail their boat and have fun. But then, a big wind came and blew their boat away. They could not reach their boat. They were scared and cried.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to the pond. She saw their boat floating far away and their broccoli still on their plates. She was upset and disappointed. She said they were naughty and did not listen to her. She said they had to go home and eat their broccoli and say sorry. She also said they could not play with their toy boat for a week.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they made a bad choice. They said sorry to their mom and ate their broccoli. They learned that they should obey their mom and eat their healthy food. They also learned that they should not run away from their problems. They hoped their toy boat would come back to them someday.

+"I'm sorry, kids," he says. "My dog is not well-trained. He does not know how to behave. He will not bother you again."
+
+Tom and Lily are glad. They say thank you to the man. They hope the dog will learn to be good. They go back to their sand castles and surf boards. They enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.
+Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has many cars, trains, and blocks. He likes to make noises and stories with them. He does not like to share his toys with other kids.
+
+One day, his mom says, "Tom, we have a guest today. His name is Sam. He is also a boy. He will come and play with you."
+
+Tom feels uncomfortable. He does not want to play with Sam. He does not know him. He thinks Sam will take his toys. He says, "No, mom. I don't want to play with Sam. I want to play alone."
+
+Mom says, "Tom, that is not nice. Sam is your cousin. He is visiting us from far away. He has no toys here. He will be sad if you don't play with him. You have to share your toys and be kind."
+
+Tom does not listen. He says, "No, mom. Go away. Leave me alone."
+
+Mom is sad. She says, "Tom, I am disappointed in you. You are being selfish and rude. You have to learn to share and make friends. If you don't play with Sam, you will have no dessert tonight."
+
+Tom does not care. He says, "I don't care. I don't want dessert. I just want my toys."
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "Okay, Tom. You can stay here with your toys. But you will miss out on the fun. Sam and I will go to the park and have ice cream. Maybe you will change your mind later."
+
+Mom and Sam leave. Tom stays in his room with his toys. He thinks he is happy. But soon he feels lonely. He hears Sam and mom laughing outside. He sees them having ice cream. He wishes he had ice cream too. He wishes he had a friend to play with. He realizes he was wrong. He feels sorry. He wants to say sorry to mom and Sam. He wants to play with them. He runs to the door and opens it. He calls out, "Mom, Sam, wait for me. I want to play with you. I want to share my toys. I'm sorry."
+Sara liked to grow radishes in her garden. She planted the seeds and watered them every day. She waited and waited for them to grow. One day, she saw some green leaves poking out of the dirt. She was very happy.
+
+She ran to tell her mom and dad. "Look, look, my radishes are growing!" she said. Her mom and dad smiled and hugged her. They said, "Good job, Sara, you are a great gardener!"
+
+Sara wanted to see how big her radishes were. She pulled one out of the ground. It was red and round and shiny. She pulled another one. It was bigger and brighter. She pulled a third one. It was the biggest and brightest of all. She was very proud.
+
+She put the radishes in a basket and ran to the kitchen. She wanted to wash them and eat them. She liked radishes. They were crunchy and spicy. She thought they would make her strong and lively.
+
+But when she got to the kitchen, she saw a rabbit. The rabbit was on the table. The rabbit saw the radishes. The rabbit liked radishes too. The rabbit jumped off the table and ran to the basket. The rabbit wanted to eat the radishes.
+
+Sara saw the rabbit. She was very angry. She shouted, "No, no, those are my radishes! Go away, rabbit!" She chased the rabbit around the kitchen. The rabbit was fast and clever. The rabbit dodged and darted. The rabbit grabbed a radish and ran out of the door.
+
+Sara followed the rabbit. She ran as fast as she could. She wanted to get her radish back. She speeded after the rabbit. The rabbit speeded away. They ran and ran and ran. They made a lot of noise. They made a lot of mess.
+
+Sara's mom and dad heard the noise. They came to see what was going on. They saw Sara and the rabbit running around the yard. They saw the radishes scattered everywhere. They saw the dirt and the water and the leaves. They were very surprised.
+
+They called, "Sara, Sara, what are you doing? Stop, stop, come here!" Sara heard them. She stopped. She was tired and out of breath. She looked at the rabbit. The rabbit looked at her. The rabbit had a radish in its mouth. The rabbit looked sorry.
+
+Sara felt sorry too. She said, "OK, rabbit, you can have that radish. But only that one. The rest are mine. And you have to say sorry. And you have to be nice. And you have to be my friend."
+
+The rabbit nodded. The rabbit said, "Sorry, Sara. Thank you, Sara. You are nice, Sara. I will be your friend, Sara." The rabbit gave Sara a lick. Sara gave the rabbit a hug. They smiled at each other.
+
+Sara's mom and dad came to them. They said, "Sara, you are very kind and brave. And you have a new friend. How about we share the radishes with the rabbit? And then we can have some cake. How does that sound?"
+
+Sara said, "That sounds good. I like cake. And I like radishes. And I like my new friend. Can we name him Radish?" The rabbit said, "I like that name. I like Sara. And I like cake. And I like radishes. Can we have some now?"
+
+Sara's mom and dad laughed. They said, "Of course, of course. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. And let's clean up the mess. And let's have a lively party. With cake and radishes and friends. What a wonderful day!"
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, Tom has a new red truck. It is very big and shiny. Sam likes the new truck. He wants to play with it.
+
+"Can I play with your truck, Tom?" Sam asks.
+
+"OK, Sam. You can play with it. But you have to lend it back to me. It is my truck," Tom says.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. I will lend it back to you. I promise," Sam says.
+
+They play with the truck for a while. They make it go fast and slow. They make it honk and beep. They have fun.
+
+But then, they see a big dog. The dog is black and brown. It has a loud bark and sharp teeth. It runs towards them. Tom and Sam are fearful. They are scared of the dog.
+
+"Run, Sam, run!" Tom shouts.
+
+They run away from the dog. They leave the truck behind. The dog sees the truck. It thinks it is a toy. It grabs the truck with its mouth. It shakes it and bites it. It breaks the truck.
+
+Tom and Sam hide behind a tree. They watch the dog. They are sad. The truck is ruined. It is not shiny anymore. It has holes and scratches. It is not wide anymore. It is bent and twisted.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I did not lend your truck back to you. The dog took it. The dog broke it," Sam says.
+
+"It's OK, Sam. It's not your fault. The dog was bad. The dog was mean. You are still my friend," Tom says.
+
+They hug each other. They are not fearful anymore. They are brave. They go home. They tell their moms what happened. Their moms are sorry. They give them hugs and kisses. They say they will buy them new trucks. Tom and Sam are happy. They are still friends. They will play with cars and trucks again.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. They waited for spring to come, when the flowers would grow and the birds would sing. But spring was late this year, and the snow stayed on the ground for a long time.
+
+One day, their mom said, "We can go to the park today. It's sunny and warm. Put on your coats and boots and let's go."
+
+Lily and Ben were happy and ran to get ready. But Lily saw her favorite doll on the bed and wanted to play with it. She said to Ben, "You go ahead. I'll come later. I just want to play with my doll for a little bit."
+
+Ben said, "Okay, but don't delay too much. Mom is waiting for us." He put on his coat and boots and went to the door.
+
+Lily played with her doll and forgot about the time. She made up stories and songs and had fun. She did not hear her mom calling her name. She did not see the clouds getting dark and the wind getting strong.
+
+Soon, it started to rain and snow. The park was cold and wet. Ben and his mom had to go back home. They were sad and disappointed. They did not see any flowers or birds.
+
+When they got home, they saw Lily still playing with her doll. She looked up and smiled. She said, "Hi, did you have fun at the park?"
+
+Ben and his mom did not smile. They said, "No, we did not. It rained and snowed and we had to come back. We missed the spring. You delayed too much and wasted the sunny day."
+
+Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She realized that she had been selfish and lazy. She said, "I'm sorry, I should have gone with you. I did not mean to make you sad. Can we go to the park tomorrow?"
+
+Ben and his mom said, "Maybe, if the weather is nice. But you have to learn to be ready and not delay. Spring is short and precious. You have to enjoy it while you can."
+
+Lily nodded and hugged them. She said, "I will, I promise. I love you and I love spring."
+
+The moral value of the story is to be punctual and not waste time. The narrative uses foreshadowing when it says that spring was late this year and the snow stayed on the ground, and setup and payoff when it contrasts the sunny and warm day with the rainy and snowy day.
+Tom and Sue like to play with their toys. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, animals, and more. But they do not like to share their toys. They always fight over who gets what toy. They say "mine, mine, mine" and "no, no, no".
+
+One day, they decide to have a war with their toys. They organize their toys into two teams: Tom's team and Sue's team. They make a line with their blocks to show where their teams are. They say "this is my side, that is your side". They start to throw their toys at each other. They say "bang, bang, bang" and "pow, pow, pow".
+
+But the war is not easy. The toys are hard and hurt when they hit. The toys are also messy and break when they fall. The toys are also loud and make noise when they fly. Tom and Sue start to cry. They say "ouch, ouch, ouch" and "stop, stop, stop".
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the toys everywhere and the children crying. She is not happy. She says "what are you doing? why are you fighting? why are you breaking your toys?". She makes them stop the war and pick up their toys. She says "no more war, only peace. share your toys, be nice". She gives them a hug and a kiss. She says "I love you, I love you, I love you".
+
+Tom and Sue feel sorry. They say "sorry, sorry, sorry" and "we love you, we love you, we love you". They decide to play together and share their toys. They say "let's be friends, let's be friends, let's be friends". They organize their toys into one big team: Tom and Sue's team. They say "this is our side, we are a team". They start to play with their toys. They say "vroom, vroom, vroom" and "yay, yay, yay".
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. Lily saw a man sitting on a bench. He was bald and had a big belt. Lily was curious.
+
+"Who is that?" she asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he is sad. He looks sad," Ben said.
+
+Lily wanted to make him happy. She had an idea.
+
+"Let's go and talk to him. Maybe we can be his friends," she suggested.
+
+Ben nodded. They walked to the bench and smiled at the man.
+
+"Hello, mister. What is your name?" Lily asked.
+
+The man looked surprised. He smiled back.
+
+"Hello, little ones. My name is Tom. What are your names?" he asked.
+
+"I'm Lily and this is Ben. We are playing in the park. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom was touched by their kindness. He felt less lonely.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Ben. That is very nice of you. I would love to play with you. What do you like to play?" he asked.
+
+Lily and Ben told him about their favorite games. They invited him to join them on the swing, the slide and the run. Tom agreed. He took off his belt and put it on the bench. He followed them to the playground. They had a lot of fun together. They laughed and talked. Tom felt happy. Lily and Ben felt happy too. They had made a new friend.
+Sara and Ben love to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They like to make pictures of animals, flowers and stars. One day, they find a new color in their paint box. It is shiny and bright. It is gold.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sara says. "It is so pretty. Can I use it?"
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says. "I want to paint with gold. Let us share it."
+
+They both dip their brushes in the gold paint. They start to paint on their papers. Sara paints a sun with gold rays. Ben paints a fish with gold scales. They are happy with their paintings.
+
+But soon, the gold paint runs out. There is no more in the paint box. Sara and Ben look at each other. They both want more gold paint.
+
+"Where can we get more gold paint?" Sara asks.
+
+"I do not know," Ben says. "Maybe we can ask Mommy. She knows everything."
+
+They run to find Mommy. They show her their paintings. They ask her for more gold paint.
+
+Mommy smiles. She likes their paintings. She tells them they are very good. But she says they cannot have more gold paint right now.
+
+"Gold paint is very special," Mommy says. "It is not like other colors. We have to be patient and wait for it. Maybe we can get some more for your birthday or Christmas. But not today."
+
+Sara and Ben feel sad. They want to paint more with gold. They do not like to wait.
+
+"But Mommy, we love gold paint," Sara says. "It makes our pictures so beautiful. Please, can we have some more?"
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says. "Please, Mommy, please!"
+
+Mommy hugs them. She tells them she understands. She tells them they can paint with other colors. She tells them they can make more beautiful pictures with their imagination.
+
+"Gold paint is not the only thing that makes your pictures beautiful," Mommy says. "You make your pictures beautiful with your creativity and your love. You can use any color you want. You can mix them and make new colors. You can paint anything you can think of. You do not need gold paint to be happy."
+
+Sara and Ben think about what Mommy says. They look at their paintings again. They see that they are still pretty. They see that they have many other colors to choose from. They see that they can still have fun with painting.
+
+They smile. They thank Mommy. They go back to their paint box. They pick new colors and brushes. They start to paint again. They are patient and happy.
+Tom and Lily were excited to play with their new toy. It was a big ball that could bounce very high. They took it to the living room and threw it up in the air. The ball bounced on the floor and then on the sofa and then on the ceiling. It made a loud noise every time it hit something.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tom said. "Let me try again!"
+
+He threw the ball up with all his might. But he threw it too hard. The ball hit the ceiling and made a big hole. Dust and bits of wood fell down on them.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "We broke the ceiling!"
+
+They heard their mom coming. She was angry. She saw the hole and the mess and the ball.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked. "How did you strike the ceiling with the ball?"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know what to say. They looked at each other and then at the floor.
+
+"We are sorry, mom," they said. "We just wanted to play."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not happy. She took the ball and put it away.
+
+"No more playing with this ball inside the house," she said. "You have to be careful with your toys. And you have to help me fix the ceiling."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They felt bad. They learned their lesson. They hugged their mom and said they loved her. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them too. But she still made them clean up the dust and the wood.
+Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a red apron with flowers on it. She helped mom stir the soup, cut the bread, and set the table. She felt very happy and proud.
+
+One day, mom had to go to the store to buy some milk. She told Sara to stay in the kitchen and not touch the stove. She said the stove was very hot and could hurt Sara. She said she would be back soon. Sara said okay and waved goodbye.
+
+Sara was bored in the kitchen. She saw a big pot on the stove. She wondered what was inside. She climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. She did not see the steam coming out of the pot. She did not hear the hissing sound. She did not feel the heat on her hand.
+
+Sara grabbed the pot and pulled it down. The hot soup spilled all over her. She screamed and dropped the pot. The soup burned her skin and her apron. She cried and cried. She wished mom was here.
+
+Mom came back and heard Sara's cries. She ran to the kitchen and saw the mess. She saw Sara's red apron soaked with soup. She saw Sara's red skin covered with blisters. She felt very sad and scared. She hugged Sara and called for help. She wished she could prevent this from happening. She wished she never left Sara alone.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. They took turns to slide down and had fun.
+
+But then, a boy came and pushed Tom and Sue away. He said, "This is my slide. Go away. You are rude." He did not let them play with him. He slid down the slide over and over. Tom and Sue felt sad and angry.
+
+They went to their moms and told them what happened. Their moms said, "That boy is not nice. He does not share. He is rude. You should not play with him. Let's go and find another slide."
+
+They walked to another part of the park and saw a smaller slide. There were no other kids there. They played with the slide and had fun again.
+
+Then, they saw the boy who pushed them away. He was hungry and looking for food. He had no snacks with him. He saw Tom and Sue eating their sandwiches and cookies. He came to them and said, "Can I have some of your food? I am hungry."
+
+Tom and Sue looked at him. They remembered how he was rude to them. They did not want to share their food with him. But then, they thought, maybe he was sorry. Maybe he was lonely. Maybe he wanted to be friends.
+
+They decided to be kind and let him have some of their food. They said, "You can have some of our food. But you have to say sorry for being rude to us. And you have to share the slide with us and other kids. That is how friends play."
+
+The boy felt ashamed and said, "I am sorry for being rude to you. I was selfish and mean. I want to share the slide with you and other kids. I want to be friends."
+
+Tom and Sue smiled and gave him some of their food. They ate together and talked. Then, they went to the slide and played together. They had more fun than before.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Being rude is not good. Being kind is better. Friends are happy when they play together.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play games in the park. One day, they decided to play skip. Skip was a game where they had to jump over a rope that someone else swung. Lily and Sam took turns to swing the rope and to skip.
+
+"Skip, skip, skip!" Lily chanted as she jumped over the rope. She was very good at skip. She could skip fast and high. Sam clapped his hands and cheered for her.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you are amazing!" Sam said. "Can I try now?"
+
+"Sure, Sam, it's your turn!" Lily said. She gave him the rope and waited for him to swing it. Sam tried to swing the rope, but he was not very good at it. He swung it too slow or too fast, or he dropped it on the ground.
+
+"Oops, sorry, Lily!" Sam said. "I can't do it!"
+
+"That's okay, Sam, don't give up!" Lily said. "You can do it! I will help you!"
+
+Lily showed Sam how to swing the rope. She told him to hold it tight and to move his arms in a circle. She told him to watch her feet and to swing the rope when she was ready to jump. Sam listened to Lily and tried again. This time, he swung the rope better. Lily skipped over the rope and smiled.
+
+"Yay, Sam, you did it!" Lily said. "You are awesome!"
+
+"Thanks, Lily, you are a great teacher!" Sam said. "This is fun!"
+
+Lily and Sam played skip for a long time. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They were very happy. When they got tired, they sat on a bench and ate some cookies. The cookies were delicious. They shared them and said thank you.
+
+"Skip is a fun game, Lily!" Sam said. "I'm glad we played it!"
+
+"Me too, Sam!" Lily said. "You are my best friend!"
+
+Lily and Sam hugged each other and smiled. They were very happy. They loved to play games in the park.
+Tommy was a frog who liked to hop. He hopped from leaf to leaf in the pond. He liked to see how far he could hop. He did not care if he made the other frogs wet or scared.
+
+One day, he saw a big leaf. He wanted to hop on it. He did not see that Lily was on the leaf. Lily was a duck who liked to swim. She was resting on the leaf. She did not like to be wet or scared.
+
+Tommy hopped on the leaf. The leaf shook. Lily fell into the water. She was wet and scared. She quacked loudly. "Why did you do that?" she asked Tommy. "You made me fall. You are not nice."
+
+Tommy did not say sorry. He did not care. He said, "I like to hop. I can hop on any leaf I want. You are not the boss of me."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She swam away. She did not want to be friends with Tommy. She found another leaf. She hoped Tommy would not hop on it.
+
+Tommy saw Lily on another leaf. He wanted to hop on it. He did not care if Lily was on it. He hopped on the leaf. The leaf shook. Lily fell into the water. She was wet and scared. She quacked loudly. "Why did you do that again?" she asked Tommy. "You made me fall. You are not good."
+
+Tommy did not say sorry. He did not care. He said, "I like to hop. I can hop on any leaf I want. You are not the boss of me."
+
+Lily was very sad and very angry. She swam away. She did not want to be friends with Tommy. She found another leaf. She hoped Tommy would not hop on it.
+
+But Tommy did not stop. He hopped on every leaf he saw. He made all the frogs and ducks wet and scared. He did not care. He did not say sorry. He did not have any friends.
+
+One day, he saw a very big leaf. He wanted to hop on it. He did not see that it was not a leaf. It was a turtle. The turtle was sleeping on the water. He did not like to be wet or scared.
+
+Tommy hopped on the turtle. The turtle woke up. He was wet and scared. He snapped at Tommy. He bit his leg. Tommy felt pain. He cried loudly. "Why did you do that?" he asked the turtle. "You hurt me. You are not nice."
+
+The turtle did not say sorry. He did not care. He said, "I like to sleep. I can sleep on any water I want. You are not the boss of me."
+
+Tommy was sad and sorry. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I am sorry. I was not nice. I was not good. I hopped on every leaf I saw. I made all the frogs and ducks wet and scared. I did not care. I did not say sorry. I did not have any friends."
+
+The turtle said, "You should be sorry. You should be nice. You should be good. You should not hop on every leaf you see. You should care. You should say sorry. You should have friends."
+
+Tommy said, "You are right. I want to be nice. I want to be good. I want to care. I want to say sorry. I want to have friends."
+
+The turtle said, "Then you should go and do that. Go and find the frogs and ducks. Go and say sorry. Go and be nice. Go and be good. Go and make friends."
+
+Tommy said, "Thank you. I will do that. I will go and find the frogs and ducks. I will go and say sorry. I will go and be nice. I will go and be good. I will go and make friends."
+
+Tommy hopped off the turtle. He hopped to the pond. He found the frogs and ducks. He said sorry to them. He was nice to them. He was good to them. He made friends with them.
+
+He learned his lesson. He did not hop on every leaf he saw. He cared for the other animals. He said sorry when he was wrong. He had friends who liked him.
+
+He was happy. He still liked to hop. But he hopped with care. He hopped with joy. He hopped with love.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a pink doll and Ben had a red car. They were having fun, making noises and pretending to go on adventures.
+
+Suddenly, they smelled something bad. They looked around and saw smoke coming from the kitchen. They heard their mom scream.
+
+"Fire! Fire! The oven is burning! Help!"
+
+Sara and Ben were scared. They dropped their toys and ran to the kitchen. They saw their mom holding a towel and trying to put out the fire. The fire was big and angry. It made loud noises and sparks.
+
+"Mom, are you okay?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay, but we have to get out of here. This is serious. Come on, grab your toys and follow me. We have to call the firemen."
+
+Mom took Sara and Ben by the hand and led them outside. They saw their neighbors watching and some of them calling on their phones. They heard sirens in the distance.
+
+"Mom, what happened?" Ben asked.
+
+"I was baking a cake for your dad's birthday, but I forgot to check the timer. The cake burned and caught fire. I'm sorry, kids. I ruined the cake and the oven."
+
+Mom hugged Sara and Ben and kissed them on the cheek.
+
+"It's okay, mom. We're glad you're safe. We don't need a cake. We love you." Sara said.
+
+"Yeah, mom. We love you. And maybe we can get a new cake later. A pink one." Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and thanked them. She was happy to have such sweet kids. She hoped the firemen would come soon and put out the fire. She hoped the oven could be fixed. And she hoped dad would still have a happy birthday.
+Lily and Ben were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They had to pack their luggage in big bags. Lily wanted to take all her toys and books and clothes. She spread them all over the floor and tried to fit them in her bag. Ben only took his original teddy bear and a few things he really liked. He helped his mom and dad pack their bags too.
+
+"Come on, Lily, we have to go soon. You can't take everything with you," Ben said.
+
+"But I want to, Ben. I love all my things. They make me happy," Lily said.
+
+"But you can't play with them all at the same time. And they will take up too much space in the car. And you might lose some of them on the way. And you will miss out on the fun things we will see and do on the trip," Ben said.
+
+Lily thought about what Ben said. She realized he was right. She didn't need to take everything with her. She could be happy with less. She picked up her favorite doll and a few other things and put them in her bag. She gave the rest of her things to her mom and dad to put away.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. That was very smart and kind of you. Now we can go and have a great time together," her mom said.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her brother. She was glad she listened to him. She learned that sometimes less is more. And she was excited to see new things and have new adventures.
+Tom liked to drive his toy car. He had a big maze on the floor with many roads and turns. He drove his car around the maze, making vroom-vroom sounds. He liked to pretend he was a racer or a spy.
+
+But Tom was lonely. He had no one to play with. His mom and dad were busy with work. His big sister was at school. His friends lived far away. He wished he had someone to drive with him.
+
+One day, he saw a new car in the maze. It was red and shiny, and it moved by itself. Tom was curious. He drove his car next to the red car and said hello. The red car said hello back. It had a voice!
+
+"Who are you?" Tom asked.
+
+"I'm Robo, a robot car. I came to play with you. Do you want to be my friend?" Robo said.
+
+"Yes, I do!" Tom said. He was happy. He had a new friend.
+
+Tom and Robo drove around the maze, having fun. They raced, they chased, they explored. They laughed and talked. Tom was not lonely anymore. He had a friend who liked to drive with him.
+Mira and Rani were sisters who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a shiny thing in the dirt. It was a crystal that sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Mira said, holding the crystal in her hand.
+
+"It's so pretty!" Rani said, reaching for it.
+
+"Can I have it?" Mira asked.
+
+"No, it's mine. I found it first," Rani said.
+
+They started to pull the crystal from each other. They did not want to share.
+
+"Stop it, girls!" their mother said, coming out of the house. "What are you doing?"
+
+"We found a crystal, mama. But Rani won't let me have it," Mira said.
+
+"Mira won't let me have it, mama. But I saw it first," Rani said.
+
+Their mother looked at the crystal. It was filthy from the dirt. She took a cloth and wiped it clean. Then she held it up to the light.
+
+"This is a very special crystal, girls. It belongs to our family. It was a gift from your grandma. She gave it to me when I was a little girl, and I want to give it to you when you grow up," she said.
+
+"Really, mama?" Mira and Rani said, their eyes wide.
+
+"Yes, really. But you have to take good care of it. And you have to share it. It's not fair to fight over it. It's a crystal of love and peace," she said.
+
+She gave the crystal to Mira and Rani. They hugged their mother and said sorry to each other. They decided to play with the crystal together. They made a necklace out of it and took turns wearing it. They felt happy and loved. They learned to share and be kind.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. Today, they want to play dress-up. They go to their room and look for clothes.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can wear this hat!" Tom says. He puts a big hat on his head. It is green and has a feather.
+
+"That is a funny hat, Tom!" Lily says. She finds a dress. It is pink and has flowers. "I can wear this dress!" She puts the dress on. It is too big for her.
+
+They laugh and run around the room. They pretend to be a pirate and a princess. They have fun.
+
+But then, Tom trips on the dress. He falls and cuts his knee. He cries. Lily runs to him and hugs him.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asks. She sees blood on his knee.
+
+"It hurts, Lily!" Tom says. He is sad.
+
+Lily gets a tissue and wipes his knee. She says, "Don't worry, Tom. I will help you. Let's go to Mom. She will make it better."
+
+They take off the clothes and put them back in the box. They try to be tidy. They hold hands and go to Mom. Mom sees Tom's cut and gives him a band-aid. She kisses his knee and hugs him.
+
+"There, there, Tom. You are brave. The cut will heal soon." Mom says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Lily." Tom says. He smiles.
+
+They hug Mom and say, "We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. You are good twins. Now, do you want a snack?"
+
+They nod and say, "Yes, please!"
+
+They go to the kitchen and have some cookies and milk. They are happy. They share their cookies and milk. They are good friends.
+Tim and Mia are friends who like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build houses, cars, animals and anything they want.
+
+One day, they decide to build a volcano with their blocks. They pile up the red and brown blocks to make a big mountain. Then they put some yellow blocks on top to make the fire and smoke. They are very proud of their volcano.
+
+But then, Tim wants to add some blue blocks to make water. He says the water will cool down the fire and make the volcano stop. Mia does not like this idea. She says the water will ruin the volcano and make it fall. She wants the volcano to stay hot and angry.
+
+They start to quarrel over the blue blocks. They pull and push and shout at each other. They do not listen to each other. They do not share the blocks. They are not friends anymore.
+
+The volcano does not like their quarrel. It feels sad and lonely. It wants Tim and Mia to be friends again. It makes a loud noise and shakes the ground. The blocks fall down and scatter everywhere. Tim and Mia are scared and stop quarreling. They look at the mess they made.
+
+They feel sorry for the volcano and for each other. They say sorry and hug each other. They pick up the blocks and start to build again. They agree to use the blue blocks to make a lake around the volcano. They think the lake will make the volcano happy and calm. They are friends again. The volcano smiles and stops shaking. It likes their lake. It likes their friendship.
+Jill and Tom were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma kept there. They found a big box full of books, toys and clothes. Jill opened the box and saw a cute teddy bear. She picked it up and hugged it.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a teddy bear!" she said.
+
+"Let me see!" Tom said. He reached for the bear, but Jill pulled it away.
+
+"No, it's mine!" she said.
+
+They started to tug on the bear, and it ripped in half. A cloud of dust came out of the bear and spread in the air. They both sneezed and coughed.
+
+"Uh-oh," Tom said. "I think the bear was very old and dirty."
+
+"Sorry, Jill," he said. "I didn't mean to break your bear."
+
+"It's okay, Tom," Jill said. "It was not really my bear. It was grandma's bear. Maybe we can fix it."
+
+They looked at the bear and saw a note inside. It said: "To my dear granddaughter, I hope you love this bear as much as I did. Love, Grandma."
+
+Jill and Tom felt sad and happy at the same time. They decided to take the bear and the note to their grandma and tell her what happened. They hoped she would not be mad at them. They also hoped she would tell them more stories about the bear and her childhood. They thought that maybe the bear was not so old and dirty, but very special and loved.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the garden. They see a small bug with wings. It is a mosquito. The mosquito flies near Sara's arm and bites her. Sara feels a sting and cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! The bug hurt me!" Sara says.
+
+Tom runs to Sara and hugs her. He sees the red spot on her arm. He is angry at the mosquito.
+
+"Bad bug! Go away!" Tom says. He tries to hit the mosquito with his hand, but the mosquito is too fast. It flies away.
+
+Sara and Tom go inside the house. They find Mom in the kitchen. Mom sees Sara's arm and gives her a kiss.
+
+"What happened, sweetie?" Mom asks.
+
+"A bug bit me. It was a mosquito. It was very mean," Sara tells Mom.
+
+Mom nods and gets a cream. She puts some cream on Sara's arm. The cream makes the sting feel better.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. You are amazing," Sara says.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs Sara and Tom.
+
+"You are amazing, too, my darlings. Mosquitoes are not nice, but they are also part of nature. They need blood to live. Sometimes they bite people, but they don't mean to hurt us. They are just hungry. We can protect ourselves by wearing long clothes and using bug spray. Do you understand?" Mom tells Sara and Tom.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They understand a little. They are still not friends with mosquitoes, but they are not afraid of them anymore. They are happy to have Mom and each other. They love Mom very much.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they tease each other and make each other sad.
+
+One day, Anna finds some money in the sofa. She is very happy. She thinks she can buy a new doll or a candy. She shows the money to Ben and says, "Look what I have! You have nothing!"
+
+Ben feels bad. He wants some money too. He tries to grab the money from Anna, but she runs away. She laughs and says, "You can't catch me! You can't have my money!"
+
+Ben chases Anna around the house. They knock over a lamp and a vase. They make a lot of noise and mess. Mom hears them and comes to see what is going on. She is not happy. She sees the money in Anna's hand and says, "Where did you get that money?"
+
+Anna says, "I found it in the sofa. It is mine!"
+
+Mom says, "No, it is not yours. It is mine. I lost it yesterday. You should not take things that are not yours. And you should not tease your brother. That is not nice."
+
+Anna feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I was just having fun. I didn't mean to hurt you."
+
+Ben says, "It's okay, Anna. I know you were just playing. But don't tease me again. It makes me sad."
+
+Mom says, "I'm glad you are sorry. And I'm glad you love each other. Teasing can be harmless, but it can also hurt. You should be kind and share. How about we use the money to buy some ice cream for both of you?"
+
+Anna and Ben smile and hug. They say, "Yes, please! We love ice cream! And we love you, Mom!"
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them back. She says, "I love you too, my sweet twins. Now let's clean up this mess and go get some ice cream!"
+Mia liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped in the park, she skipped at home. She skipped when she was happy, she skipped when she was sad, she skipped when she was bored. She skipped all the time.
+
+One day, she saw a big star in the sky. It was bright and shiny. She wondered if it was a wish star. She had heard that if you make a wish to a star, it might come true. She decided to try.
+
+She closed her eyes and said, "Star, star, I have a wish. I wish I could skip with a friend. I wish I could find someone who likes to skip as much as I do."
+
+She opened her eyes and waited. Nothing happened. She felt sad. She thought maybe the star did not hear her. She skipped away, hoping for a better day.
+
+The next day, she went to school as usual. She skipped on the way, but she felt lonely. She wished she had someone to talk to, to play with, to skip with. She looked around, but she did not see anyone who liked to skip.
+
+Then, she heard a voice. It was a cheerful voice, a friendly voice, a skipping voice. It said, "Hi, I'm Leo. I like to skip. Do you want to skip with me?"
+
+She turned and saw a boy. He had a big smile, a red hat, and a skipping rope. He was skipping in front of her. He looked unusual, but he looked fun.
+
+She smiled back and said, "Hi, I'm Mia. I like to skip too. Yes, I want to skip with you."
+
+They skipped together, holding the rope. They skipped fast, they skipped slow, they skipped high, they skipped low. They skipped and laughed and talked. They skipped and became friends.
+
+Mia was happy. She thought maybe the star did hear her. She thought maybe her wish did come true. She thanked the star in her heart and skipped some more.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big loop of rope. They use it to make shapes on the grass.
+
+"Look, I made a star!" Sam says, holding the loop.
+
+"That's nice. I made a heart!" Mia says, showing her loop.
+
+They hear a loud bark. A big dog runs to them. The dog wants the loop. He jumps and tries to grab it.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Sam shouts. He is scared. He holds the loop tight.
+
+"No, dog! This is ours!" Mia shouts. She is brave. She stands in front of Sam. She wants to protect him.
+
+The dog does not listen. He keeps barking and jumping. He thinks the loop is a toy.
+
+"Help, help!" Sam and Mia cry. They need help.
+
+A lady comes. She is the dog's owner. She sees the dog and the children.
+
+"Bad dog! Leave them alone!" she says. She pulls the dog away. She puts a leash on him.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. He is not mean. He just likes to play. He thought your loop was a yummy bone." she says.
+
+She gives them a cookie. It is a sorry gift.
+
+"Thank you, lady. That's nice of you." Sam and Mia say. They take the cookie. It is yummy.
+
+They are not scared anymore. They are happy.
+
+They go back to their loop. They make more shapes. They share the cookie.
+
+They are friends. They protect each other. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a long tail and a wet nose.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Ben says. He runs to the dog. He wants to touch it. He likes dogs.
+
+Anna is shy. She stays behind. She is afraid of the dog. She thinks the dog might bite her. She does not like dogs.
+
+"Come on, Anna!" Ben says. He is happy. He touches the dog's fur. The dog wags its tail. It likes Ben.
+
+"No, thank you!" Anna says. She shakes her head. She points to the slide. She wants to play on the slide.
+
+Ben sees Anna's point. He understands. He leaves the dog. He goes to the slide. He waits for Anna.
+
+"Are you okay?" Ben asks. He smiles at Anna.
+
+"Yes, I am okay," Anna says. She smiles back. She is glad Ben is her friend.
+
+They play on the slide. They have fun. They forget about the dog. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to read books together. But sometimes they disagree about which book to read. Sara likes books with animals. Ben likes books with cars.
+
+One day, they find a big book with many pages. It has animals and cars on different pages. Sara and Ben want to read the same book, but they want to read different pages.
+
+"I want to read the page with the lion," Sara says.
+
+"No, I want to read the page with the truck," Ben says.
+
+They pull the book from each other. They make a lot of noise.
+
+Their grandma is in the next room. She is deaf. She cannot hear very well. But she can see Sara and Ben fighting. She comes to them and takes the book.
+
+"Stop fighting, Sara and Ben," she says. "You can both read the book. You can take turns. Sara, you read the page with the lion first. Then Ben, you read the page with the truck. Then you can switch. OK?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug their grandma. They sit down and read the book together. They take turns and share. They learn about animals and cars. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made a snow fort with a flag. They pretended to be soldiers and threw snowballs at each other.
+
+"Give up, Ben! You can't win!" Anna shouted from behind her fort.
+
+"Never! I will never surrender!" Ben shouted back. He threw a snowball at Anna, but missed.
+
+Suddenly, they saw something black and white waddle towards them. It was a penguin! The penguin looked at them with curious eyes. It tilted its head and made a funny noise.
+
+"Wow! A penguin! Where did it come from?" Anna asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it escaped from the zoo. Let's go say hello!" Ben said.
+
+They put down their snowballs and ran towards the penguin. The penguin was not afraid. It let them touch its feathers and beak. It followed them to their snowman and their fort. It even tried to wave the flag with its flipper.
+
+"Hello, penguin! What is your name?" Anna asked.
+
+"Quack, quack!" the penguin answered.
+
+"We can call you Quack, then. Do you want to play with us?" Ben asked.
+
+"Quack, quack!" the penguin nodded.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They forgot about their snow war. They had a new friend. They played with Quack until it was time to go home. They gave Quack a hug and a kiss. They hoped to see him again.
+Lily liked to pick daisies in the park. She liked how they were yellow and white and smelled nice. She liked to make them into a fancy crown for her head. She felt like a princess when she wore it.
+
+One day, she saw a big boy playing with a ball near the daisies. He kicked the ball very hard and it hit the daisies. Some of the daisies fell down and broke. Lily was very sad and angry. She ran to the boy and said, "Stop! You are hurting the daisies! They are my friends!"
+
+The boy looked at Lily and laughed. He said, "Daisies are not friends. They are just flowers. They are silly and boring. You are silly and boring too. Your crown is not fancy. It is ugly and stupid." He grabbed Lily's crown and threw it on the ground. He stepped on it and crushed it.
+
+Lily felt a big pain in her heart. She started to cry very loud. She picked up the broken crown and hugged it. She said, "No, no, no! You are mean and bad! You are not nice at all! You made my crown and my daisies go away! I hate you!"
+
+The boy was scared by Lily's cry. He ran away from her. He did not want to play with her anymore. He did not say sorry.
+
+Lily sat on the grass and cried. She felt very alone and sad. She wished she had a friend who liked daisies and crowns. She wished the boy was nice and kind. She wished he said sorry.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and she made pictures of her family, her friends and her toys. She was very happy when she drew.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a chubby boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. He had no crayons and no pictures. Lily wanted to make him smile.
+
+She walked up to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to draw with me?" She showed him her crayons and her pictures.
+
+The boy looked up and nodded. He said, "I'm Ben. I like to draw, but I have no crayons and no pictures. Thank you for sharing with me."
+
+Lily and Ben sat on the bench and drew together. They made pictures of the park, the birds and the flowers. They used all the colors and had fun. They smiled and laughed.
+
+Lily's mom watched them and smiled too. She was proud of Lily for being kind and generous. She thought, "Lily has learned a good lesson today. Sharing is caring and it makes everyone happy."
+Tim and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the big house. The big house had many rooms. Some rooms were nice. Some rooms were scary. Tim and Sue did not go to the scary rooms.
+
+One day, Tim and Sue found a new room. It was a chamber. It was dark and cold. It had a big door with a lock. Tim and Sue were curious. They wanted to see what was inside the chamber.
+
+They pushed the door. It opened. They went inside the chamber. They saw a big bed, a big closet, and a big mirror. They also saw a man. The man was sleeping on the bed. He had a long beard, a long coat, and a long hat. He looked terrible.
+
+Tim and Sue were afraid. They wanted to leave the chamber. But the door was closed. They heard a click. The door was locked. They were trapped in the chamber.
+
+The man woke up. He saw Tim and Sue. He was angry. He shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing in my chamber? This is my chamber. I own this chamber. You are not welcome here. Go away!"
+
+Tim and Sue cried. They said, "We are sorry. We did not know. We were just playing. Please let us go. We want to go back to our friends."
+
+The man did not listen. He said, "No. You cannot go. You are my guests now. You will stay in my chamber. You will do what I say. You will be my friends."
+
+Tim and Sue were very scared. They did not want to be the man's friends. They wanted to escape from the chamber. They looked for a way out. They saw a window. It was small and high. But it was open. They had an idea.
+
+They moved the closet. They climbed on the closet. They reached the window. They jumped out of the window. They landed on the grass. They ran away from the chamber. They ran back to the big house. They found their friends. They told them what happened. They said, "We found a terrible chamber. There was a terrible man. He owned the chamber. He locked us in the chamber. He wanted us to be his friends. We escaped from the chamber. We are safe now."
+
+Their friends were shocked. They said, "That is a scary story. We are glad you are safe. We will never go to that chamber. We will stay away from that man. He is terrible."
+
+Tim and Sue agreed. They said, "Yes. He is terrible. We will never go back to that chamber. We will only play in the nice rooms. We will only be friends with the nice people."
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of waste near the swings. It is dirty and smelly. They do not like it.
+
+"Who put this waste here?" Lila asks. "It is bad for the park and the animals."
+
+"I do not know," Tom says. "Maybe someone who does not care."
+
+They want to tell someone to take the waste away. But they do not see anyone. They feel sad and angry.
+
+Then, they see a blue bird. It is sitting on a branch. It is singing a happy song. It does not mind the waste.
+
+"Look, Lila," Tom says. "A blue bird. It is so pretty and cheerful."
+
+"Yes, Tom," Lila says. "It is. Maybe it knows something we do not."
+
+They go closer to the bird. They want to hear its song. They sit under the tree. They smile and listen.
+
+The bird sees them. It stops singing. It looks at them. It says, "Hello, children. Do you like my song?"
+
+"Yes, bird," Lila says. "We do. It is very nice."
+
+"Thank you, child," the bird says. "I am glad you like it. Do you know why I sing?"
+
+"No, bird," Tom says. "Why do you sing?"
+
+"I sing because I am happy," the bird says. "I am happy because I have a home, a family, and friends. I am happy because I can fly, and see, and hear. I am happy because I am alive."
+
+The bird sings again. Lila and Tom listen. They feel happy too. They forget about the waste. They remember what is important. They thank the bird. They hug each other. They go back to play. They are friends.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were brave knights and princesses. They had a large stick for a sword and a small hat for a crown.
+
+"Look, Lily, a witch!" Ben said, pointing to a lady with a black dress and a long nose. "She is going to cast a spell on us!"
+
+Lily was scared. She hid behind Ben and held his hand. "No, Ben, don't go near her! She might turn us into frogs or mice!"
+
+Ben was not afraid. He wanted to be a hero. He ran towards the lady with his stick. "Go away, witch! Leave us alone!" he shouted.
+
+The lady was not a witch. She was just a nice old woman who liked to wear black. She was surprised to see Ben running at her. She smiled and said, "Hello, little boy. I'm not a witch. I'm just a grandma. What are you playing?"
+
+Ben stopped and looked at her. He saw that she was not mean or scary. He felt silly and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I thought you were a witch. We were playing knights and princesses."
+
+The lady laughed and said, "That's a fun game. I used to play that when I was young. Do you want a cookie? I have some in my bag."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They liked cookies. They followed the lady to a bench. She gave them each a cookie and a hug. They said, "Thank you, grandma. You are very nice."
+
+The lady said, "You're welcome, children. You are very sweet. Do you want to hear a story? I know many stories about knights and princesses and witches and dragons."

+Ben and Lily said, "Yes, please!" They sat next to the lady and listened to her stories. They forgot about their stick and their hat. They clapped and cheered and laughed. They had a lot of fun. They made a new friend.
+Tom and Sue are friends who live on a big ranch with many animals. They like to play with the horses, cows, sheep and dogs. One day, they hear a loud noise from the barn. They run to see what is happening.
+
+Inside the barn, they find a baby goat that is stuck under some hay. The goat is crying and scared. Tom and Sue feel sorry for the goat. They are compassionate and want to help.
+
+"Shh, don't be afraid, little goat. We are here to help you," Sue says softly. She gently lifts the hay off the goat. Tom holds the goat and strokes its fur. The goat stops crying and looks at them with big eyes.
+
+"Are you okay, little goat?" Tom asks. The goat nods and bleats happily. It licks Tom's face and Sue's hand. Tom and Sue smile and hug the goat.
+
+"You are so brave, little goat. We are your friends," Sue says. They take the goat outside and show it to the other animals. The goat makes friends with the horses, cows, sheep and dogs. Tom and Sue are happy that they helped the goat. They love living on the ranch.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a box of colorful blocks and Tom had a hammer and some nails. They liked to build things with their toys.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a house!" Tom said, showing her his wooden structure. He had nailed some nails into the wood to make it stand.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's very good!" Lily said, admiring his work. She wanted to make something too. She looked at her blocks and saw that some of them had shapes on them. She had an idea. "I can match the shapes on the blocks!" she said.
+
+She picked up a block with a circle on it and looked for another block with the same shape. She found one and put them together. "I matched the circles!" she said happily. She did the same with the squares, the triangles, and the stars.
+
+"Good job, Lily, you matched the shapes!" Tom said, clapping his hands. He wanted to help her. He saw a nail on the floor and picked it up. He looked at the blocks and saw that one of them had a hole in it. He had an idea. "I can match the nail and the hole!" he said.
+
+He tried to push the nail into the hole, but it was too hard. He needed his hammer. He looked for his hammer, but he couldn't find it. He had left it on the couch. He ran to the couch and grabbed his hammer.
+
+But while he was gone, a nosy cat came into the living room. The cat saw the blocks and the nail on the floor and was curious. The cat sniffed the blocks and the nail and decided to play with them. The cat batted the blocks and the nail with its paws and made them roll and scatter.
+
+When Tom came back, he saw the mess and was angry. "Hey, cat, stop that!" he shouted. "You ruined my nail and Lily's blocks!"
+
+The cat was scared and ran away. Lily and Tom looked at each other and sighed. They had to pick up their toys and start over. But they didn't mind. They liked to play with their toys and with each other. They were good friends.
+Anna liked to play with her mom's makeup. She liked to put on lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush. She thought they made her look pretty and different. But her mom always told her not to touch her makeup. She said it was for grown-ups and that Anna was beautiful without it.
+
+One day, Anna saw her mom's makeup bag on the table. She was curious and wanted to try some. She looked around and saw that her mom was busy in the kitchen. She thought she had time to play. She grabbed the bag and ran to her room. She opened it and saw many colors and brushes. She picked a red lipstick and applied it to her lips. She smiled and felt happy.
+
+She wanted to show her mom how she looked. She ran to the kitchen and said, "Mom, look at me!" Her mom turned around and gasped. She saw Anna's face covered in red lipstick. She also saw that Anna had smeared eyeshadow and blush all over her cheeks and eyes. She looked like a clown.
+
+"Anna, what did you do?" her mom asked, shocked. "You used my makeup!"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I did. Do you like it? I think I look pretty."
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Anna, you don't need makeup to look pretty. You are pretty just the way you are. Makeup is not a toy. It can be messy and harmful. You should not touch it without my permission."
+
+She took Anna to the bathroom and wiped off the makeup with a wet cloth. She revealed Anna's ordinary face, which was sweet and cute. She hugged her and said, "I love you, Anna. You are my beautiful girl. Please don't play with my makeup again."
+
+Anna felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again. I love you too."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. But next time, if you want to play with makeup, you can ask me and we can do it together. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "That sounds fun, mom. Thank you."
+
+They hugged and kissed and went to the living room. They decided to watch a movie and have some popcorn. Anna was happy and learned a lesson. She realized that she didn't need makeup to be pretty. She was pretty in her mom's eyes and in her own.
+Sam and Lily wanted to give their mom a gift for her birthday. They looked around the house for something nice. They saw a scarf that mom liked. It was soft and colorful. They decided to wrap it with some paper and a ribbon.
+
+They found some paper in the drawer and a ribbon in the box. They put the scarf on the paper and folded it. They tried to tie the ribbon, but it was too hard. The ribbon was not flexible. It did not bend or stretch. It broke when they pulled it.
+
+"Oh no!" Sam said. "The ribbon is broken. How can we wrap the gift now?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. She ran to the kitchen and came back with a banana peel. She said, "Look, Sam. This is flexible. It can bend and stretch. We can use it as a ribbon."
+
+Sam was not sure. He said, "But it is not pretty. It is brown and mushy. Mom will not like it."
+
+Lily said, "But it is creative. And it is funny. Mom will laugh when she sees it. She will know that we love her."
+
+Sam agreed. He said, "Okay, let's try it." They wrapped the banana peel around the paper and made a bow. They wrote "Happy Birthday, Mom" on a card and put it on the gift.
+
+They gave the gift to mom the next day. Mom was surprised and curious. She opened the gift and saw the scarf and the banana peel. She smiled and hugged Sam and Lily. She said, "Thank you, my sweeties. This is the best gift ever. You are so thoughtful and clever. I love the scarf and the banana peel. They are both flexible, just like you. You can adapt to any situation and make the best of it. That is a very important skill in life. I am so proud of you."
+
+Sam and Lily were happy. They learned that the price of a gift does not matter. What matters is the love and the effort that goes into it. They also learned that being flexible is a good thing. It helps them to solve problems and to have fun. They kissed mom and said, "We love you, mom. Happy birthday."
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around.
+
+"Look, Sara, my car can go fast!" Ben says, pushing his car on the floor.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your car is cool!" Sara says, admiring his car. "Can I try it?"
+
+"Sure, Sara, you can try it. But can I play with your doll?" Ben asks, looking at her doll.
+
+"OK, Ben, you can play with my doll. But be gentle, she is a baby!" Sara says, handing him her doll.
+
+Ben takes the doll and holds it in his arms. He notices that the doll has a thick blanket wrapped around her. He wonders what is under the blanket.
+
+"Hey, Sara, can I guess what is under the blanket?" Ben asks, feeling curious.
+
+"OK, Ben, you can guess. But don't peek!" Sara says, smiling.
+
+Ben thinks hard and tries to guess what is under the blanket. He touches the blanket and feels something soft and round.
+
+"Is it a ball?" Ben guesses.
+
+"No, Ben, it is not a ball. Try again!" Sara says, shaking her head.
+
+Ben thinks harder and tries to guess again. He lifts the blanket a little and sees something pink and shiny.
+
+"Is it a candy?" Ben guesses.
+
+"No, Ben, it is not a candy. You are silly!" Sara says, laughing.
+
+Ben thinks even harder and tries to guess one more time. He lifts the blanket more and sees something small and cute.
+
+"Is it a baby?" Ben guesses.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is a baby! You are right!" Sara says, clapping her hands.
+
+Ben smiles and looks at the baby. The baby has blue eyes and brown hair. She looks like Sara.
+
+"Is it your baby, Sara?" Ben asks, amazed.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is my baby. She is my sister. Her name is Lily. Do you want to say hello to her?" Sara asks, proud.
+
+"Yes, Sara, I want to say hello to her. She is very pretty. Hello, Lily!" Ben says, waving to the baby.
+
+The baby smiles and coos at Ben. Ben and Sara giggle and hug the baby. They are happy to play with their toys and their new friend.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to find hidden objects under the rocks and in the bushes. They had a basket to put their treasures in.
+
+"Look, I found a shiny ring!" Lily said, holding up a metal object with a red stone.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty! Can I see?" Tom asked, reaching for the ring.
+
+"No, it's mine! I found it first!" Lily said, pulling the ring away.
+
+"That's not fair! You have more objects than me!" Tom said, feeling angry.
+
+They started to argue and tug at the ring. They did not see the big dog that came running towards them, barking loudly.
+
+The dog wanted to play, but Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the ring and ran to the house, screaming for their mom.
+
+The dog picked up the ring in his mouth and ran away, wagging his tail.
+
+Mom came out and saw Tom and Lily crying. She hugged them and asked what happened.
+
+"A big dog chased us and took our ring!" Lily said, sobbing.
+
+"It was a hidden object we found in the garden!" Tom said, sniffling.
+
+Mom looked around and saw the basket with the other objects. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, my loves. You still have many other objects to play with. And maybe the dog will bring the ring back someday. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They followed Mom to the house, holding her hands. They decided to share their objects and not fight anymore. They settled their conflict and felt happy.
+Tim and Jen are playing dress-up in their room. They have many clothes and hats and shoes to try on. Tim finds a tie that is red and blue and shiny. He puts it around his neck and says, "Look, Jen, I am a big man. I have a tie like Dad."
+
+Jen giggles and says, "You are funny, Tim. But your tie is wet. You spilled juice on it. You need to dry it or it will be sticky."
+
+Tim says, "Oh no, you are right. How can I dry it? I do not want to ruin it. It is a nice tie."
+
+Jen thinks for a moment and says, "I have an idea. We can use Mom's hair dryer. It blows hot air and makes things dry. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and find it."
+
+Tim and Jen run to the bathroom and look for the hair dryer. They find it under the sink and plug it in. Jen holds the tie and Tim turns on the hair dryer. They see the wet spot on the tie getting smaller and smaller. Soon, the tie is dry and shiny again.
+
+Tim says, "Wow, Jen, you are smart. You fixed my tie. Thank you. It looks nice again."
+
+Jen says, "You are welcome, Tim. I am glad you like it. Now let's go back to our room and play some more. Maybe we can find a hat for you too."
+
+Tim and Jen hug and smile. They are happy to play dress-up and to help each other. They are good friends.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to go on an adventure in the backyard. They saw many things: flowers, bugs, rocks, and a big tree.
+
+"Look, Ben, a hole in the tree!" Mia said. "Maybe there is something inside."
+
+They went closer and peeked into the hole. They saw a shiny red ball. It was round and smooth and had a funny smell.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Ben asked. He reached his hand and took the ball out of the hole.
+
+"It's a pepper!" Mia said. She had seen one in the kitchen before. "Mommy says they are spicy. They make your mouth hot."
+
+Ben was curious. He wanted to try the pepper. He took a big bite and made a face.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "It's too spicy! It hurts!"
+
+He dropped the pepper and ran to the hose. He sprayed water into his mouth and spit it out.
+
+Mia laughed. She thought it was funny. She picked up the pepper and threw it back into the hole.
+
+"Sorry, Ben, I told you it was spicy," she said.
+
+Ben was still feeling the burn. He was not happy. He wanted to go inside.
+
+"Come on, Mia, let's go," he said. "It's getting dark."
+
+They looked at the sky and saw the sunset. It was beautiful. It had many colors: orange, pink, purple, and blue.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Mia said. "It's like a painting."
+
+They forgot about the pepper and smiled. They liked the sunset. They held hands and walked back to the house. They had a good adventure.
+One day, a little lion cub named Leo was playing with his family in the grass. He loved to chase his brothers and sisters and pretend to be a big lion. He tried to roar like his father, but his roar was still small and squeaky.
+
+"Roar!" he said, jumping on his sister. "I am the king of the jungle!"
+
+His sister laughed and pushed him off. "No, you are not! You are just a cub. Your roar is too funny!"
+
+Leo felt sad and ran away. He wanted to have a big roar like his father. He wandered into the forest, looking for a place to practice. He found a big rock and climbed on top of it. He opened his mouth and roared as loud as he could.
+
+"Roar!"
+
+But his roar was not loud. It was still small and squeaky. And it did not scare anyone. It only made a bird fly away.
+
+Leo felt even sadder. He wished he had a big roar like his father. He wished he could be the king of the jungle. He wished he could make his family proud.
+
+He did not notice that someone was watching him. It was his father, the big lion. He had followed Leo into the forest, worried that he might get lost. He heard his son's roar and saw his sad face. He felt sorry for him and decided to help him.
+
+He walked up to the rock and nudged Leo with his nose. Leo looked up and saw his father. He was surprised and happy.
+
+"Father!" he said. "What are you doing here?"
+
+"I came to see you, my son," his father said. "I heard your roar. It was very good."
+
+Leo did not believe him. He knew his roar was not good. He knew his roar was small and squeaky.
+
+"No, it was not," he said. "It was bad. It was funny. It did not scare anyone. It did not sound like yours."
+
+His father smiled and licked his head. "It does not matter, my son," he said. "You are still young. You will grow up and your roar will grow too. You do not need to be the king of the jungle. You just need to be yourself. You are my son and I love you. You make me proud."
+
+Leo felt a warm feeling in his chest. He realized that his father was right. He did not need to have a big roar like his father. He just needed to have a big heart like his father. He hugged his father and thanked him.
+
+"Thank you, father," he said. "I love you too. You make me happy."
+
+His father roared and Leo roared with him. Their roars echoed in the forest, loud and strong. They sounded like a family. They felt grateful.
+Tom is a boy who likes to zoom. He zooms on his bike, he zooms on his skates, he zooms on his sled. He zooms so fast that he does not hear his mom call him for lunch. He does not hear his dad call him for dinner. He does not hear his sister call him for bed. He is not deaf, but he acts like he is.
+
+One day, Tom zooms on his bike to the park. He sees a big hill and he wants to zoom down it. He does not see the rock on the path. He hits the rock and falls off his bike. He feels a pain in his mouth. He touches his tooth and it is loose. He cries and cries. He wants his mom and dad.
+
+A lady who walks her dog sees Tom crying. She asks him what is wrong. Tom shows her his tooth. She says, "Oh, you poor thing. You need to go home and see your mom and dad. They will help you." She helps Tom get on his bike and walks with him to his house.
+
+Tom sees his mom and dad at the door. They look worried. They hug him and ask him what happened. Tom tells them about the hill, the rock, and the tooth. They say, "We are sorry, Tom. We are glad you are OK. We love you." They take him inside and give him some ice and a cookie.
+
+Tom feels better. He says, "I love you, too. I am sorry I did not hear you when you called me. I was zooming too much. I will zoom less and listen more." His mom and dad smile and kiss him. His sister comes and gives him a hug. She says, "I have a loose tooth, too. We can put them under our pillows and get a coin from the tooth fairy." Tom smiles and nods. He thinks, "Zooming is fun, but listening is important. I will zoom and listen from now on."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they have a race with their cars. They put their cars on the floor and say: "Ready, set, go!"
+
+Lily's car is red and shiny. Tom's car is blue and old. Lily's car speeds ahead of Tom's car. Tom tries to catch up, but his car is too slow. Lily says: "I win, I win! My car is the best!"
+
+Tom is sad. He does not like to lose. He says: "No fair, your car is new and fast. My car is old and slow. I want a new car too!"
+
+Lily sees that Tom is sad. She is a good friend. She says: "Don't be sad, Tom. We can share my car. Or we can play with dolls. Or we can have tea. Do you want to have tea?"
+
+Tom smiles. He likes tea. He says: "Yes, I want to have tea. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily and Tom go to the kitchen. They find a small table and two small chairs. They find a small pot and two small cups. They pretend to make tea and pour it into the cups. They sip their tea and say: "Mmm, this is good tea. We are happy."
+Lila was very excited. Today, her auntie would arrive from far away. She had not seen her auntie for a long time. She wanted to show her auntie her new dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. Lila loved her dress.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it. There was her auntie, with a big smile and a big suitcase. "Hello, Lila!" her auntie said. "You look so pretty in your dress!" She hugged Lila and gave her a kiss.
+
+"Thank you, auntie!" Lila said. "I missed you so much! What did you bring in your suitcase?"
+
+Her auntie winked at her. "You'll see. It's a surprise. But I can tell you this: it's something very adventurous. Do you like adventures, Lila?"
+
+Lila nodded eagerly. She liked adventures a lot. She wondered what her auntie had for her. Maybe a book, or a toy, or a game. She could not wait to find out. She took her auntie's hand and led her to her room. She was ready for an adventurous day with her auntie.
+Sam and Lily went to the mall with Mom. They liked the mall because it had many things to see and do. Mom said they could play in the big slide after they finished shopping.
+
+Sam and Lily were patient and helped Mom carry the bags. They saw toys, books, clothes, and candy. They did not ask for anything, because they knew Mom had a surprise for them.
+
+When they reached the slide, Mom smiled and gave them each a ticket. "Here you go, my sweeties. You can slide as much as you want. Have fun!"
+
+Sam and Lily thanked Mom and ran to the slide. It was very high and shiny. They climbed the stairs and waited for their turn. Sam went first. He sat on the slide and pushed himself down. He felt the wind in his hair and the thrill in his tummy. He shouted, "Whee!"
+
+Lily followed him. She was a little scared, but she wanted to try. She held on to the sides and slid down slowly. She felt the slide under her and the sun on her face. She smiled, "Wow!"
+
+Sam and Lily slid again and again. They laughed and cheered. They made friends with other kids. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Mom watched them from a bench. She was happy to see them enjoy themselves. She was proud of them for being patient and good. She thought, "They are the best kids in the world."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many numbers on it. Lily and Tom want to know what the numbers mean.
+
+"Look, Tom, the truck has numbers. Do you know what they are?" Lily asks.
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not know. He only knows some numbers. He knows one, two, and three.
+
+"Maybe the numbers are for the truck. Maybe they tell where the truck goes or what the truck has," Tom says.
+
+Lily and Tom run after the truck. They want to see more. The truck stops at a shop. The shop has a sign. The sign says "Ice Cream". Lily and Tom like ice cream. They think ice cream is tasty.
+
+The truck driver opens the back of the truck. He takes out some boxes. The boxes have pictures of ice cream on them. He gives the boxes to the shop owner.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you like ice cream?" the truck driver asks.
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They do like ice cream.
+
+"Would you like to try some? I have some extra. You can have one each," the truck driver says.
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They say thank you. The truck driver gives them each a cone with ice cream. Lily has chocolate. Tom has vanilla. They lick their ice cream. They think it is tasty.
+
+They look at the truck again. They see the numbers. They see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and zero.
+
+"Wow, the truck has all the numbers. Maybe the numbers are for the ice cream. Maybe they tell how many flavors the truck has or how many cones the truck can make," Lily says.
+
+Tom nods. He thinks that makes sense. He likes the numbers. He likes the truck. He likes the ice cream. He likes the truck driver.
+
+He says, "This is the best truck ever."
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a bird on a tree. The bird was brown and had a red hat on its head. It was a clever bird.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Ben said. "It can talk!"
+
+"Hello, hello!" the bird said. "I am a parrot. Do you have a snack for me?"
+
+Ben and Mia laughed. They liked the parrot. They had some crackers in their bag. They took out a cracker and broke it in half.
+
+"Here, parrot, have a cracker," Mia said. She held out a piece of cracker to the bird.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" the parrot said. It flew down from the tree and landed on Mia's hand. It took the cracker and chewed it with its beak.
+
+"Yummy, yummy!" the parrot said. "Do you have more?"
+
+"Yes, we have more," Ben said. He gave the other piece of cracker to the parrot. The parrot chewed it and said, "More, more!"
+
+Ben and Mia smiled. They gave the parrot another cracker. The parrot was happy. It chewed the cracker and said, "You are nice, you are nice!"
+
+Ben and Mia were happy too. They made a new friend. They played with the parrot until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the parrot and waved.
+
+"Goodbye, goodbye!" the parrot said. "Come back soon!"
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set. They could make the train go fast or slow, and change the tracks to go different ways.
+
+One day, they had a fight over the train set. Lily wanted to make the train go on a long loop, but Ben wanted to make the train go on a short bridge. They both pulled on the train and the tracks, and they broke them. The train set was ruined, and they were very sad and angry.
+
+They did not talk to each other for a long time. They missed playing with the train set and with each other, but they were too proud to say sorry. Their parents tried to help them, but they did not listen.
+
+Then, one day, they learned about history at school. They saw pictures of people who fought in wars and hurt each other. They saw how the wars made many people unhappy and scared. They also saw pictures of people who made peace and helped each other. They saw how the peace made many people happy and safe.
+
+Lily and Ben thought about their fight over the train set. They realized that it was not worth it to lose their friend over a toy. They decided to end their fight and say sorry to each other. They hugged and smiled, and felt much better.
+
+They also decided to fix the train set together. They used glue and tape and some new pieces to make the train set work again. They made a lovely train set, with a long loop and a short bridge. They shared the train and the tracks, and had fun playing with them.
+
+They learned that fighting is bad, and peace is good. They learned that friends are more important than toys. They learned that saying sorry and fixing things are better than staying angry and breaking things. They were happy, and so were their parents. The end.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they are hungry and go to the kitchen. They see a big bowl of food on the table. It looks yummy.
+
+Sara says, "Let's eat some food!" Ben nods and smiles. They run to the table and grab some food. But when they put it in their mouths, they make a funny face. The food is dry and hard. It is not yummy at all.
+
+They spit out the food and look at each other. They see a note on the bowl. It says, "This is not food. This is dog food. Joke!" They laugh and laugh. They think it is a funny joke.
+
+They look for some real food. They find some bread and jam. They make some sandwiches and eat them. They are happy and full. They say, "This is good food. No joke!" They hug and smile. They are still friends.
+Sara loves to feed her family. She likes to help her mom cook in the kitchen. She can stir the soup, cut the bread, and pour the juice. She feels very happy when her family says, "Thank you, Sara, you are a great helper!"
+
+One day, Sara's mom tells her that they have a special guest for dinner. His name is Leo, and he is a famous singer. Sara has heard his songs on the radio, and she thinks he has a nice voice. She is very excited to meet him.
+
+When Leo arrives, he smiles and hugs Sara's mom. He says, "Hello, I'm Leo, and I'm so glad to be here. You have a lovely home and a lovely family." He looks at Sara and says, "And who is this little chef? She looks very busy in the kitchen."
+
+Sara feels shy, but she says, "Hello, I'm Sara, and I like to feed my family. Do you like soup and bread and juice?"
+
+Leo nods and says, "I love soup and bread and juice. They are my favorite foods. Can I help you feed your family?"
+
+Sara smiles and says, "Yes, you can. Here, you can hold the spoon and stir the soup. Be careful, it's hot."
+
+Leo takes the spoon and stirs the soup. He says, "Wow, this soup smells delicious. You are a very good cook, Sara. Maybe you will be a famous chef one day."
+
+Sara laughs and says, "Maybe. But first, let's feed our family. They are waiting for us."
+
+Sara and Leo carry the soup, the bread, and the juice to the table. They join Sara's mom, dad, and brother. They all say, "Hello, Leo, welcome to our home. Thank you, Sara, for feeding us."
+
+They all enjoy the dinner and the conversation. Sara feels very proud and happy. She thinks, "Leo is a nice guest. He likes to feed my family. He is a famous singer, but he is also a friend."
+Lila and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were hunters in the jungle. They had sticks that they used as spears. They threw them at the trees and the bushes, making loud noises.
+
+"Look, I got a lion!" Sam shouted, pointing at a big yellow leaf.
+
+"No, that's not a lion, that's a banana!" Lila said, laughing. "A lion is brown and furry and has a mane."
+
+"What's a mane?" Sam asked.
+
+"It's like a big hair around the neck. Like this." Lila wrapped her scarf around her head and roared.
+
+Sam giggled. "You look funny. You're not a lion, you're a scarf-head!"
+
+They ran around the park, chasing each other and roaring. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But soon, they started to feel tired. The sun was going down and the air was getting cold. They yawned and rubbed their eyes.
+
+"Let's go home, Lila. I'm hungry and sleepy." Sam said.
+
+"Me too, Sam. This game is difficult. Hunting is hard work." Lila agreed.
+
+They picked up their spears and walked back to their parents, who were waiting for them on a bench. They hugged them and said goodbye.
+
+"Did you have a good time, Lila?" her mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom. We were hunters in the jungle. We saw lions and bananas and scarf-heads." Lila said.
+
+Her mom smiled. "That sounds very exciting. But now it's time for dinner and bed. You need to rest after your adventure."
+
+Lila nodded. She was happy, but also very sleepy. She yawned again and snuggled in her mom's arms. She closed her eyes and dreamed of the jungle.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. One day, they saw a big vine on the wall. It had many green leaves and purple flowers.
+
+"Let's climb the vine!" said Tom. "It looks like fun!"
+
+"OK!" said Lily. "But be careful. The vine might break."
+
+They took turns to climb the vine. They felt like monkeys. They laughed and shouted. They reached the top of the wall and looked around.
+
+"Wow!" said Tom. "We can see the whole garden from here!"
+
+"And the street!" said Lily. "Look, there's a bus!"
+
+They waved at the bus. The bus driver waved back. He smiled and honked his horn.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The vine snapped. Tom and Lily fell down. They landed on the grass. They were not hurt, but they were very dirty and messy.
+
+They heard a voice. It was Mom. She had seen everything.
+
+"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" she said. "You are not monkeys! You are children! You could have been hurt! And look at your clothes! They are all stained and torn!"
+
+Tom and Lily felt embarrassed. They knew they had done something wrong. They said sorry to Mom. They hugged her and said they loved her.
+
+Mom was not angry anymore. She loved them too. She said they had to go inside and take a bath. She said they had to number their fingers and toes to make sure they were all there.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They followed Mom inside. They still liked to play in the garden, but they never climbed the vine again. They learned their lesson.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big red ball on the roof of a house. They want to get the ball.
+
+"Let's jog to the house and ask for the ball," Lily says.
+
+"OK," Max says. They jog to the house and knock on the door. A nice lady opens the door.
+
+"Hello, kids. What can I do for you?" the lady asks.
+
+"Please, can we have the ball on the roof?" Lily asks.
+
+The lady smiles. "Sure, you can have the ball. But be careful. The roof is high and steep. I will get a ladder for you."
+
+"Thank you, lady. You are very kind," Max says.
+
+The lady brings a ladder and helps the kids climb to the roof. They get the ball and come down. They are very happy.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lily and Max say.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. Have fun with the ball. And be grateful for what you have," the lady says.
+
+Lily and Max hug the lady and jog back to their yard. They play with the ball and share it with their other friends. They are very grateful for the ball and the lady.
+On Wednesday, Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But today, they saw something new in the park. It was a big, red truck with a long, shiny hose. It made a loud noise and had a bright light on top.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said, pointing at the truck. "What is it?"
+
+"It's a fire truck," Mom said. "It helps people when there is a fire. The people who drive it are called firefighters. They are very brave and fast."
+
+Ben and Lily stared at the fire truck with wide eyes. They wanted to see it up close and touch it. They wondered what it was like inside. They wished they could be firefighters too.
+
+"Can we go and say hello to the firefighters, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe, but we have to be careful and polite," Mom said. "They might be busy or need to go somewhere."
+
+They walked towards the fire truck, holding Mom's hand. They saw two firefighters standing next to it. They wore big, yellow suits and helmets. They smiled and waved at Ben and Lily.
+
+"Hi, kids," one of them said. "Do you like our fire truck?"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Ben and Lily said together. "It's very cool and fast!"
+
+"Would you like to see it better?" the other one asked. "We can show you some of the things it can do."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded excitedly. They followed the firefighters to the fire truck. They got to sit inside and try on the helmets. They learned how to use the radio and the siren. They watched how the hose sprayed water and made a rainbow.
+
+Ben and Lily had a lot of fun with the fire truck and the firefighters. They thanked them for letting them see it and learn about it. They said goodbye and went back to Mom.
+
+"That was awesome, Mom!" Ben said. "Can we be firefighters when we grow up?"
+
+"Maybe, if you work hard and help people," Mom said. "But for now, you can pretend to be firefighters in the park. How about that?"
+
+Ben and Lily agreed. They ran to the swings and pretended they were flying in the fire truck. They used their voices to make the noise and the light. They imagined they were going to save the day.
+
+They did not notice that behind them, a small fire had started in a trash can. It was getting bigger and bigger. Soon, it would catch their attention. But they would not be afraid. They would know what to do. They had learned from the best.
+Lily wanted to wear her new dress today. It was pink and had flowers on it. She liked it very much. She asked her mom to help her put it on.
+
+"Mom, can you help me wear my dress?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. But first, let me finish my tea. I have a mug of tea here and it is hot. I need to drink it before it gets cold." Mom said.
+
+Lily was not patient. She wanted to wear her dress now. She did not want to wait for mom. She saw the mug of tea on the table. She had an idea. She reached for the mug and tried to move it away.
+
+"Mom, look, I can help you. I can take your mug of tea and put it in the sink." Lily said.
+
+But Lily was too small and the mug was too heavy. She could not hold it well. The mug slipped from her hand and spilled the tea all over her new dress. Lily gasped. Her dress was wet and stained. She felt sad and sorry.
+
+Mom saw what happened and ran to Lily. She hugged her and checked if she was hurt.
+
+"Lily, are you okay? Did you burn yourself?" Mom asked.
+
+"No, mom, I'm okay. But my dress, my dress is ruined. I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to wear it today. I wanted to help you. I was not patient." Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed her.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're okay. Your dress is not ruined. We can wash it and dry it and it will be clean again. You don't have to be sorry. You wanted to help me and that was very kind of you. But next time, you have to be patient and listen to me. Some things are not for you to touch. They can be hot or sharp or breakable. You have to be careful and wait for me to help you. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded and hugged mom.
+
+"Yes, mom, I understand. I will be patient and listen to you. I love you, mom." Lily said.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go and change your dress. You can wear another one today. And maybe later, we can have some cookies and milk together. How does that sound?" Mom said.
+
+Lily smiled and nodded.
+
+"That sounds good, mom. Thank you, mom." Lily said.
+
+The end.

+Lily liked to grow things. She had a little pot with a seed in it. She watered it every day and put it on the table by the window. She hoped it would grow into a flower.
+
+One day, she saw a tiny green thing poking out of the dirt. She was very happy and ran to tell her mom. "Mom, mom, look! My seed is growing!"
+
+Mom came to see and smiled. "That's wonderful, Lily. You are a good gardener. What kind of flower do you think it will be?"
+
+Lily thought hard. She liked roses and sunflowers and daisies. But she did not know what her seed was. "I don't know, mom. Maybe a surprise flower?"
+
+Mom nodded. "Maybe. We'll have to wait and see. But be careful, Lily. Don't touch the green thing. It's very fragile and needs space to grow."
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted her seed to grow big and strong. She did not touch the green thing. But she talked to it every day. She told it stories and sang it songs. She thought it was her friend.
+
+But one day, she saw something that made her troubled. There was a big brown bug on the table. It had long legs and a hard shell. It was crawling towards her pot. Lily was scared. She did not like bugs. She thought the bug wanted to eat her green thing. She shouted, "Go away, bug! Leave my flower alone!"
+
+She ran to get her mom. But when she came back, the bug was gone. And so was her green thing. There was only a hole in the dirt. Lily felt very sad. She cried and cried. "Mom, mom, the bug ate my flower!"
+
+Mom hugged her and tried to comfort her. "I'm sorry, Lily. That was a bad bug. But don't worry. Maybe your seed is still there. Maybe it will grow again. Sometimes, things look gone, but they are not. They are just hiding."
+
+Lily sniffed and wiped her eyes. She hoped mom was right. She hoped her seed was not gone. She hoped it would grow again. She hoped it would be a surprise flower. She hoped it would be her friend.
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big box in the living room. She wondered what was inside. She opened the box and found a lot of shiny things. She saw a dress, a hat, a necklace, and a pair of shoes. They were all pink and sparkly. Lily liked pink and sparkly things.
+
+She decided to try them on. She put on the dress, the hat, the necklace, and the shoes. She looked at herself in the mirror. She felt like a princess. She wanted to show her mom and dad. She ran to the kitchen, where they were making dinner.
+
+"Look at me!" she said. "I'm a princess!"
+
+Mom and dad turned around and smiled. They saw Lily in her pink and sparkly outfit. They thought she was very cute.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you look beautiful!" mom said. "Where did you find those clothes?"
+
+"They were in the box in the living room," Lily said. "Can I keep them?"
+
+Mom and dad looked at each other. They remembered that the box was a gift from Lily's aunt, who was a dancer. She had sent Lily some of her old costumes for fun.
+
+"Sure, you can keep them," dad said. "They were a present from your aunt. She is a dancer. She wears clothes like that when she dances on the stage."
+
+Lily's eyes widened. She loved to dance. She wanted to see her aunt dance on the stage.
+
+"Can I see her dance?" she asked.
+
+"Maybe someday," mom said. "But for now, why don't you show us how you dance? You can dance in the living room. We'll put on some music for you."
+
+Lily was very happy. She ran to the living room. She danced and twirled and jumped. She felt like a real dancer. She had so much fun. She thanked her aunt in her heart for the wonderful gift. She hoped to see her soon. She wondered what other things would happen in her life. She was a curious girl who liked to explore new things.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park near their houses. One day, they see a big truck on the street. The truck is loud and fast. It makes them scared.
+
+"Let's go home, Lily," Tom says. "The truck is too noisy."
+
+"OK, Tom," Lily says. "But first, let's say goodbye to the ducks."
+
+They run to the pond where the ducks live. They feed them some bread and watch them swim. Lily and Tom love the ducks. They are soft and friendly.
+
+"Bye, ducks," Lily says. "We will come back soon."
+
+She gives a duck a kiss on its head. The duck quacks and wags its tail.
+
+"Bye, ducks," Tom says. He gives another duck a kiss on its neck. The duck nibbles his ear and flaps its wings.
+
+Lily and Tom giggle. They hold hands and walk back to their houses. They are sleepy from playing. They hug each other and say goodnight.

+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lila says. "Maybe it is a present for someone."
+
+"Let me see the letter," Tom says. He grabs the string and pulls the balloon closer.
+
+"No, don't do that!" Lila says. "It is not ours. We should let it go."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He opens the letter and reads it. It says:
+
+"Dear Grandma, I miss you so much. I hope you are happy in heaven. I love you. Your grandson, Max."
+
+Tom feels sad. He wishes he had a grandma too. He forgets about the balloon and the string.
+
+Lila sees the balloon fly away. She is angry and scared. She yells at Tom.
+
+"Tom, you are so mean! You released the balloon! It was for Max's grandma! How will he know we are sorry?"
+
+Tom looks up and sees the balloon in the sky. He feels sorry too. He tries to catch the string, but it is too late. The balloon is gone.
+
+Lila and Tom cry. They do not know what to do. They have lost the balloon and the letter. They have hurt Max's feelings. They have no more friends.

+"Can we open it?" Sara asks.
+
+"Mom said we have to wait. It is a surprise for our birthday," Ben says.
+
+"But our birthday is not yet. I want to see now," Sara says.
+
+She tries to lift the lid, but it is too heavy. Ben helps her, and they push the lid off. Inside, they see a charming puppy. It has brown fur and black spots. It wags its tail and barks.
+
+"Wow, a puppy!" Sara and Ben say together.
+
+They hug the puppy and pet it. The puppy licks their faces and jumps on them. They laugh and play with the puppy.
+
+"Look, he likes us!" Sara says.
+
+"Yes, he does. He is our new friend," Ben says.
+
+They sit on the floor and cuddle the puppy. They are very happy. They forget about the box and the lid. They do not hear Mom coming in.

+
+But then, Max comes. Max is not nice. He wants to play with the blocks too. He does not ask. He just takes some blocks from the tower. He makes his own tower with yellow and green blocks.
+
+Lily and Ben are angry. They say, "Stop, Max! Those are our blocks! You are breaking our tower!"
+
+Max does not listen. He says, "I don't care. I like these blocks. They are mine now!"
+
+He touches the tower with his hand. He pushes it hard. The tower falls down. The blocks go everywhere. Lily and Ben are sad. They cry.
+
+Max laughs. He says, "Ha ha! Your tower is gone! My tower is better!"
+
+But then, he sees something. His tower is not strong. It is not tight. It is wobbly. It shakes. It falls down too. The blocks go everywhere. Max is surprised. He is sad. He cries.

+
+But Tom did not listen. He was curious. He wanted to try the tea. He reached for the mug and pulled it to him. The mug was heavy and hot. Tom lost his balance and fell off the chair. The mug fell with him and spilled the tea all over him.

+
+Their mom and dad were glad that they were safe, but also angry that they had been careless. They scolded them for wandering off and losing their blanket.

+
+She took him to his room and gave him a bar of soap. She said, "You will wash your mouth with this soap. It will make your mouth clean and teach you a lesson. You will stay in your room until dinner. You will not watch TV or play with your toys. You will think about what you did and say sorry to me and dad."

+
+He stayed in his room and cried. He did not want to watch TV or play with his toys. He wanted to hug his mom and dad and tell them he loved them. He wanted to be a good boy.
+
+When dinner time came, his mom and dad came to his room. They saw him sitting on his bed with a sad face. They asked him if he was ready to eat and talk. Ben nodded. He said, "Mom, dad, I'm sorry. I was very naughty. I said a very bad word. I did not mean to hurt you. I love you. Please forgive me."
+
+His mom and dad hugged him and kissed him. They said, "We love you too, Ben. We forgive you. We are glad you are sorry. We hope you learned your lesson. You should always be respectful and kind.

+
+One day, they saw a big kite flying in the air. It was red and blue and had a long tail. They wanted to catch it and play with it. They believed they could run fast enough to reach it. They did not see the sign that said "Danger: Power Lines".
+
+They ran after the kite, but it was too high and too far. They did not notice the wires that crossed the hill. They ran into them and got a big shock. They fell to the ground and did not move. They were helpless.
+
+Their mom and dad heard them scream and ran to help them. But it was too late. The kite had killed them. Their mom and dad cried and hugged each other. They wished they had stopped them from chasing the kite. They wished they had seen the sign. They wished they had a better view.

+
+Mom gave them some bread to break into small pieces. Lily and Ben threw the bread into the water and watched the ducks come closer. They quacked and nibbled the bread. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped. They liked the ducks.
+
+But then they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking and growling. It looked hungry and angry. Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the bread and ran to mom. Mom picked them up and hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll protect you."
+
+The dog chased them, but mom threw a blanket over it. The blanket was old and torn. Mom had brought it to sit on the grass. The dog got confused and stopped. It shook the blanket off and ran away. Mom said, "That was a good idea, using the blanket. You're very smart."
+
+Lily and Ben were happy and relieved. They thanked mom and said they loved her. Mom said she loved them too. She said, "Let's go home now. We can have some cookies and milk. You must be hungry after playing so much." Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They held mom's hand and walked home. They felt safe and warm. They liked the blanket.
+Tom was a furry pig who liked to eat and sleep. He lived on a farm with many other animals, but he did not have many friends. He was too lazy and greedy to play or share with them. He only cared about himself.
+
+One day, he saw a big pile of corn in the barn. He wanted to eat it all by himself, so he sneaked in when no one was looking. He ate and ate until his belly was full. He felt very happy and sleepy. He decided to take a nap on the corn.
+
+But he did not know that the farmer had put the corn there to rise. The corn had yeast in it, which made it grow bigger and bigger. Soon, the corn filled the whole barn and pushed against the walls and the roof. Tom was trapped inside the corn. He could not move or breathe. He tried to scream, but no one heard him.
+
+The other animals saw the barn bulging and cracking. They were scared and ran away. They did not know that Tom was inside. They did not care about him. They thought he was a mean and selfish pig.
+
+The barn exploded with a loud bang. Corn flew everywhere. Tom flew too, but he did not land softly. He landed on a sharp fence and got hurt very badly. He cried and cried, but no one came to help him. He was alone and sad. He wished he had been nicer and friendlier. But it was too late. He had made a big mistake. He had been a bad pig.

+
+"What is complete?" Sue asked.

+
+"Hey, that's not nice!" Sam says. He wipes the mud off his face and eyes. He makes a big ball of mud and throws it back at Tim. The mud ball misses Tim and lands on a big dog. The dog is sleeping under a tree. The dog wakes up and barks. He is angry.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Tim and Sam say. They see the dog running towards them. The dog looks big and scary. They are afraid.
+
+"Run!" Tim says. He and Sam run away from the puddle and the dog. They run to their house. They slam the door behind them. They are safe.
+
+"Sorry, Tim," Sam says. "I didn't mean to slap you with mud."
+
+"It's okay, Sam," Tim says. "I'm sorry, too. I started it."
+
+They hug and smile. They are still friends. They look at each other and laugh. They are playful.
+Lily and Ben were adventurous twins who liked to explore the woods behind their house. They always took a big stick with them to poke things and make noises. One day, they found a dark cave that they had never seen before. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in and see," Ben said, holding the stick like a sword.
+
+"No, it's too scary," Lily said, shaking her head.
+
+"Come on, don't be a baby," Ben said, pulling her hand.
+
+Lily followed him, but she was very nervous. She wished they had brought a flashlight or a snack. The cave was cold and damp and smelled funny. They could hear strange sounds coming from deeper inside.
+
+"Maybe we should go back," Lily whispered, clutching the stick.
+
+"No, let's keep going," Ben whispered back, curious and brave.
+
+They walked further into the cave, until they saw a faint light ahead. They thought it might be the way out, but when they got closer, they realized it was a fire. And around the fire, there were three big bears, sleeping and snoring.
+
+Lily and Ben gasped and froze. They had never seen bears before, only in books and pictures. They looked very big and furry and scary. They knew they had to be very quiet and sneak out of the cave.
+
+But just then, Ben's stick slipped from his hand and clattered on the floor. The noise woke up the bears, who opened their eyes and saw the twins. They roared and growled and got up on their feet.
+
+Lily and Ben screamed and ran as fast as they could. They dropped the stick and ran out of the cave, back to the woods, back to their house. They never went back to the cave again. They learned their lesson: some adventures are too dangerous.
+Lily and Sam were on a team. They liked to play soccer with their friends. They had a big game today. They wore red shirts and black shorts.
+
+The game started. Lily and Sam ran and kicked the ball. They tried to score a goal. But the other team was very good. They wore blue shirts and white shorts. They ran and kicked the ball too. They scored a goal. Lily and Sam were sad.
+
+The game went on. The other team scored another goal. Lily and Sam were very sad. They looked at the clock. There was not much time left. They had to score two goals to tie the game. They felt scared. They started to panic.
+
+They saw their coach. He was on the side of the field. He smiled and waved at them. He shouted, "Don't panic! You can do it! You are a great team! Just have fun and try your best!"
+
+Lily and Sam heard their coach. They felt better. They stopped panicking. They smiled and nodded at him. They looked at each other. They said, "We are a team. We can do it. Let's have fun and try our best!"
+
+They ran and kicked the ball again. They passed the ball to each other. They found an available space. They shot the ball. They scored a goal. Lily and Sam were happy. They hugged and cheered.
+
+The game was almost over. Lily and Sam had one more chance. They ran and kicked the ball again. They passed the ball to each other. They found another available space. They shot the ball. They scored another goal. Lily and Sam were very happy. They hugged and cheered louder.

+Tom liked to play with his ball. He liked to kick it and throw it and catch it. He liked to play with his ball in the park, where there was a lot of grass and trees and flowers. He did not like to play with his ball in the street, where there were cars and buses and noises.
+
+One day, Tom saw a large gray cat in the park. He wanted to play with the cat. He thought the cat would like his ball. He ran after the cat with his ball. The cat did not like the ball. The cat did not like Tom. The cat ran away from Tom. Tom ran after the cat.
+
+Tom did not see the street. He did not see the car. He did not hear the horn. He only saw the cat. He threw his ball at the cat. The ball missed the cat. The ball hit the car. The car stopped. The driver got out. The driver was angry. The driver took Tom's ball. The driver drove away.
+
+Tom was sad. He lost his ball. He lost his cat. He wanted his ball back. He wanted his cat back. He regretted throwing his ball at the cat. He regretted running after the cat. He regretted not seeing the street. He regretted not hearing the car. He regretted not playing in the park. He regretted not listening to his mom. He regretted not being careful. He regretted a lot of things. He cried.
+Mia and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. Mia puts a red block on the floor. Ben puts a blue block on top of it. They take turns to add more blocks. They make a pattern with the colors: red, blue, red, blue.
+
+"Look, our tower is so high!" Mia says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "But we need to support it. It might fall down."
+
+"How do we support it?" Mia asks.
+
+"We can use more blocks to make a base. Like this." Ben shows Mia how to put four blocks around the bottom of the tower. "Now it is stronger."
+
+"Good idea!" Mia says. She helps Ben to make the base. They use all the blocks they have.
+
+They are happy with their tower. They hug each other. They feel warm and proud.
+
+"Can we show Mom and Dad?" Mia asks.
+
+"Of course!" Ben says. "Let's go get them."
+
+They run to find their parents. They want to share their tower with them. They hope they will like their pattern and their support. They think they are good builders.

+
+One day, Sara and Spot go to the park. They see a big cake on a table. It has candles and balloons. Sara and Spot are curious. They go closer to the table. They see a sign that says "Happy Birthday, Dr. Lee!"

+Lily and Ben were playing by the lake. They liked to throw pebbles into the water and watch the ripples. Lily found a purple pebble that sparkled in the sun. She showed it to Ben and said, "Look, I found a purple pebble. It is so pretty!"
+
+Ben wanted the purple pebble too. He tried to grab it from Lily, but she held it tight. "No, it is mine! I found it first!" she said. They started to tug and pull on the pebble, but neither of them would let go.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud splash. They looked up and saw a big fish jumping out of the water. It had a shiny mouth and sharp teeth. It was hungry and it saw the purple pebble. It thought it was a tasty snack. It leaped towards Lily and Ben and tried to snatch the pebble from their hands.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They let go of the pebble and ran away. The fish caught the pebble in its mouth and swallowed it. It was happy and swam away.
+
+Lily and Ben hid behind a tree. They were shaking and crying. They wished they had not fought over the purple pebble. They learned a lesson. They said to each other, "I am sorry. I should have shared with you. Can we still be friends?"
+
+They hugged and nodded. They decided to play something else. They never repeated their mistake. They never saw the purple pebble again.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, they went to the park with their bicycles. Lily had a red bicycle and Ben had a blue bicycle.
+
+They saw a big hill in the park. Lily wanted to go up the hill and down the other side. She said to Ben, "Let's go up the hill. It will be fun!"
+
+Ben was scared. He said to Lily, "No, I don't want to go up the hill. It is too high and steep. I might fall and hurt myself."
+
+Lily said, "Don't be scared, Ben. You can do it. You have a flexible bicycle. It can bend and turn easily. You just have to be brave and careful."
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He wanted to be brave and have fun with Lily, but he also wanted to be safe and not get hurt. He had to choose. He said to Lily, "OK, I will try. But you have to go first and show me how to do it."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "OK, I will go first. Follow me, Ben. You can do it!"
+
+Lily and Ben went up the hill and down the other side. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and cheered. They were proud of themselves. They learned that they could do new things if they were flexible and brave. They also learned that they could help each other and be good friends. They hugged and said, "We did it! We are flexible and brave!"
+Tom was a painter. He liked to paint boats and water and sky. He had many paints and brushes and papers. He wanted to sail on a boat one day and see the real water and sky.
+
+One day, he met a man who had a boat. The man said, "Hello, little painter. Do you want to sail with me? I need someone to help me with the boat. You look fit and strong."
+
+Tom was happy. He said, "Yes, please. I want to sail with you. I can help you with the boat. I know how to paint boats."
+
+The man smiled. He said, "Good. Come with me. I will show you my boat. It is big and blue and has a sail. You can paint it if you want."
+
+Tom followed the man to the boat. He saw the boat and liked it. It was big and blue and had a sail. He wanted to paint it. He said, "Can I paint your boat? I have paints and brushes and papers."
+
+The man said, "Sure, you can paint my boat. But first, we have to sail. We have to go to the island. There is something I want to show you. It is a surprise."
+
+Tom was curious. He said, "What is the surprise? Is it a treasure? Is it a pirate? Is it a fish?"
+
+The man said, "You will see. It is something you will like. But you have to be brave and smart and good. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, I can do that. I am brave and smart and good. Let's sail to the island."
+
+The man said, "Okay, let's sail to the island. But first, put on this life jacket. It will keep you safe. And hold on to this rope. It will keep you close. And listen to me. I will tell you what to do."
+
+Tom did what the man said. He put on the life jacket. He held on to the rope. He listened to the man. He was ready to sail.
+
+The boat sailed on the water. The wind blew the sail. The sun shone on the sky. Tom saw the water and the sky and felt happy. He said, "This is fun. I like to sail. Thank you for taking me."
+
+The man said, "You're welcome. I like to sail too. And I like to paint. That's why I have a surprise for you. We are almost there. Look, there is the island."
+
+Tom looked and saw the island. It was green and brown and had trees and rocks. He wondered what the surprise was. He said, "What is the surprise? Can you tell me now?"
+
+The man said, "No, I can't tell you now. You have to see it for yourself. But I will give you a hint. It is something you love to paint. It is something that makes you happy. It is something that is big and blue and has a sail."
+
+Tom thought and thought. He said, "Is it a boat? Is it your boat? Is it another boat?"
+
+The man said, "You will see. We are here. Let's go to the shore. Follow me."
+
+The man and Tom got off the boat and went to the shore. The man led Tom to a place behind some trees. He said, "Are you ready for the surprise? Close your eyes and count to three."
+
+Tom closed his eyes and counted to three. He said, "One, two, three. Can I open my eyes now?"
+
+The man said, "Yes, you can open your eyes now. Look, this is the surprise."
+
+Tom opened his eyes and saw the surprise. He gasped and smiled and clapped his hands. He said, "Wow, wow, wow. This is the best surprise ever. This is amazing. This is beautiful. This is a boat. A big and blue and sail boat. Just like your boat. Just like the boats I paint. But this boat is different. This boat is made of paints and brushes and papers. This boat is a painting. A big and blue and sail boat painting. You made this for me. You are the best painter ever. You are the best friend ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
+
+The man hugged Tom and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome. I made this for you. I wanted to give you something special. Something that shows you how much I like you. How much I admire you. How much I respect you. You are the best painter ever. You are the best friend ever. You deserve this boat. This boat is yours. You can keep it. You can take it home. You can hang it on your wall. You can look at it every day.
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to read. They had many books in their room, but they did not have a bookshelf. They piled their books on the floor, on the bed, and on the table. Sometimes the books fell down and made a mess.
+
+One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. I bought you a bookshelf. Now you can keep your books neat and tidy."
+
+Anna and Ben were very happy. They helped their mom carry the bookshelf to their room. It was enormous. It was taller than them and wider than the door. It had many shelves and drawers.
+
+"Wow, this is the best bookshelf ever!" Anna said.
+
+"Thank you, mom. We can fit all our books here," Ben said.
+
+They started to put their books on the bookshelf. They sorted them by color, by size, by topic, and by alphabet. They had fun finding the best place for each book.
+
+But there was a problem. The bookshelf was so enormous that it blocked the window. They could not see the sun, the sky, or the birds. They could not feel the breeze or hear the rain. They felt sad and trapped.
+
+"Mom, we don't like the bookshelf. It prevents us from seeing outside. Can we move it somewhere else?" Anna asked.
+
+"Or can we make it smaller?" Ben added.
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I thought you would like the bookshelf. But I see that it is too big for your room. We can move it to the living room, where there is more space. And we can find you a smaller bookshelf that fits your room better. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and smiled. They said, "That sounds great, mom. We love you. And we love our books. But we also love the outside."
+
+They helped their mom move the bookshelf to the living room. Then they went to the store and picked a smaller bookshelf that was just right for their room. They put their books on the new bookshelf and left some space for the window. They were happy and cozy. They could read their books and enjoy the outside. They had the best of both worlds.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to go to the zoo with their mom. They loved to see all the different animals and learn their names. One day, they saw a big animal with a horn on its nose. It was a rhinoceros.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Sara said. "What is it, mom?"
+
+"It's a rhinoceros, Sara. It's a very strong and brave animal that lives in Africa," mom said.
+
+"Can we meet it, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Well, we can't touch it, Tom. It's too dangerous. But we can watch it from a safe distance and say hello," mom said.
+
+They walked closer to the fence and saw the rhinoceros eating some grass. It looked up and saw them. It made a loud noise that sounded like a snort.
+
+"Hello, rhinoceros!" Sara and Tom said together.
+
+The rhinoceros seemed to like them. It came closer to the fence and sniffed them with its big nose. It rubbed its horn on the fence and made another noise.
+
+"I think it likes us, mom!" Sara said.
+
+"I think so, too, Sara. It's very friendly," mom said.
+
+They stayed with the rhinoceros for a while and talked to it. They learned that its name was Rani and that it was a girl. They also learned that she was very wealthy.
+
+"How do you know she's wealthy, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Because she has a lot of friends, Tom. See those other rhinoceroses over there? They are her family and they take care of each other. That's more valuable than any money or jewels," mom said.
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They agreed that Rani was very wealthy and happy. They said goodbye to Rani and thanked her for meeting them. They waved to her and her family and went to see other animals. They had a wonderful day at the zoo.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big train. The train is modern. It can make sounds and lights. It can go fast or slow.
+
+One night, Lila and Ben are not sleepy. They want to play with the train. They turn on the train and put it on the track. The train starts to move. It goes around the room. It makes noises like "choo choo" and "beep beep". Lila and Ben laugh and clap.
+
+But their mom and dad are sleepy. They hear the train and the noise. They come to the room and see Lila and Ben. They are not happy.
+
+"Kids, it is night time. You need to sleep. Turn off the train and go to bed." Mom says.
+
+"But mom, we want to play. The train is fun. Please, can we play a little more?" Ben asks.
+
+"No, Ben. It is too late. The train is too loud. You can play tomorrow. Now, say good night to the train and put it away." Dad says.
+
+Lila and Ben are sad. They love the train. They say good night to the train and turn it off. They put it in the box. They hug mom and dad and say sorry. They go to bed and close their eyes.
+
+The train is quiet. It waits for the next day. It likes to play with Lila and Ben. It hopes they will have sweet dreams.
+Ben wanted to wash his hands. He climbed on a stool and reached for the faucet. But the faucet was too high and too hard to turn. Ben felt worried. He did not want to have dirty hands.
+
+He looked around and saw a cup on the sink. He had an idea. He grabbed the cup and filled it with water from the faucet. He poured the water on his hands and rubbed them together. He smiled. He had washed his hands.
+
+He put the cup back on the sink and climbed down from the stool. He dried his hands on a towel and ran to his mom. He showed her his clean hands and said, "I did it! I succeeded!" His mom hugged him and said, "Good job, Ben! I'm proud of you!" Ben felt happy. He had solved a problem and learned a new word.
+Lily and Max were playing with their balloons in the park. They liked to blow them up and let them go in the air. They watched them fly high and far away.
+
+"Where do they go?" Lily asked.
+
+"They vanish," Max said. "They pop and disappear."
+
+"Why do they pop?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Because they have oxygen inside," Max explained. "Oxygen is what we breathe. But when the balloons go too high, there is less oxygen and more pressure. So they break."
+
+Lily nodded. She thought Max was very smart. She wanted to learn more about oxygen and pressure.
+
+But then a big boy came and grabbed their balloons. He laughed and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give them back!" Max shouted. He chased the big boy, but he was too fast.
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She cried and stomped her feet.
+
+"That's not fair! He's a mean and ignorant boy! He doesn't know anything about oxygen and pressure! He just wants to ruin our fun!"
+
+She wished she could make the big boy vanish, like the balloons. But she couldn't. She could only hug Max and hope they would find more balloons.
+Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, they went to the park with their moms. There were many other kids there, too.
+
+Mia and Leo saw a big slide. They wanted to go on it. But there was a problem. A chubby boy was blocking the way. He said, "This is my slide. You can't use it."
+
+Mia and Leo felt sad. They did not like the chubby boy. He was mean. They looked for another slide, but they were all taken. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then, they saw a network of ropes. The ropes made a big web. They could climb on it and swing from it. It looked fun. Mia and Leo smiled. They ran to the network of ropes.
+
+"Hey, this is our network. You can't use it." The chubby boy followed them. He tried to stop them. But Mia and Leo were faster. They climbed on the network and found a spot. They laughed and played.
+
+The chubby boy was angry. He wanted to join them. He said, "Please, let me play with you. I'm sorry I was mean. I just wanted to choose the slide."
+
+Mia and Leo looked at him. They saw that he was lonely. They felt sorry for him. They decided to be kind. They said, "OK, you can play with us. But you have to share and be nice."
+
+The chubby boy nodded. He said, "Thank you. I will share and be nice." He climbed on the network and joined them. They all played together. They had fun.
+
+Mia and Leo were happy. They made a new friend. They learned that choosing to be kind is better than choosing to be mean.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to imagine they were on a big adventure. They climbed on the slide, swung on the swings, and ran around the grass.
+
+"Let's pretend we are in the jungle," Tom said. "We have to be careful of the animals and the plants."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But I want to be the leader. You have to follow me."
+
+They walked on the path, making noises like monkeys and birds. They saw a big tree with a hole in it.
+
+"Look, a secret cave!" Lily said. "Let's go inside and see what's there."
+
+She ran to the tree and tried to fit in the hole. But she was too big. She got stuck.
+
+"Help, help!" she cried. "I can't get out!"
+
+Tom ran to her and tried to pull her out. But he was too small. He couldn't move her.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Lily said. "You're hurting me!"
+
+They both started to cry. They were scared and sad.
+
+A lady who was walking her dog heard them and came to help. She gently pushed Lily out of the hole.
+
+"Are you OK, children?" she asked. "What were you doing?"
+
+"We were playing jungle," Tom said. "We wanted to see the cave."
+
+The lady smiled. "That's a nice game, but you have to be careful. Some places are not safe for children. You could get hurt or lost."
+
+She looked at Lily's clothes. They were dirty and torn.
+
+"And you have to respect nature," she said. "You can't damage the trees or the flowers. They are living things, too."
+
+She gave them a tissue to wipe their tears and noses.
+
+"Thank you, lady," Lily said. "We're sorry. We didn't mean to be bad."
+
+The lady nodded. "It's OK. I'm glad you're OK. But next time, be more careful and respectful. And don't forget to have fun."
+
+She walked away with her dog.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged each other. They learned a lesson. They decided to play something else. Something less serious. Something more fun.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys and read books. She had a big teddy bear that she hugged every night before she went to sleep. She felt safe and happy with her teddy bear.
+
+One night, Lily had a bad dream. She dreamed that a big monster was chasing her and trying to eat her. She was very scared and ran away, but the monster was faster and louder. She could hear its roar and its teeth. She wanted to wake up, but she couldn't.
+
+She cried out for her teddy bear, but he was not there. She felt alone and helpless. She wished she had not left him on the floor when she went to bed. She remembered that her mom had told her to always keep her teddy bear close, because he would protect her from nightmares.
+
+She closed her eyes and said sorry to her teddy bear. She hoped he would hear her and come to her rescue. She opened her eyes and saw a fuzzy brown shape next to her. It was her teddy bear! He had heard her cry and jumped on the bed. He hugged her and growled at the monster. The monster was afraid of the teddy bear and ran away.
+
+Lily was so happy and relieved. She thanked her teddy bear and cuddled with him. She felt safe and happy again. She learned that she should always listen to her mom and keep her teddy bear close. He was her best friend and her hero. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
+Lily was miserable. She had a tummy ache and she wanted to go to the bathroom, but she was afraid. She did not like the bathroom at school. It was big and loud and smelly. She missed her mommy and her home bathroom.
+
+She tried to hold it in, but it hurt more and more. She felt tears in her eyes. She raised her hand and asked her teacher, "Can I go to the bathroom, please?"
+
+Her teacher nodded and gave her a hall pass. "Be quick, Lily. And don't forget to wash your hands."
+
+Lily took the pass and walked slowly to the bathroom. She hoped no one was there. She opened the door and saw two older girls. They were laughing and talking. They looked at Lily and smirked.
+
+"Look who's here. It's the baby. Do you need a diaper, baby?" one of them said.
+
+Lily felt scared and ashamed. She wanted to run away, but she also needed to go to the bathroom. She tried to ignore them and walked to a stall. She locked the door and sat on the toilet.
+
+She heard the girls giggle and whisper. She heard them splash water and throw paper towels. She heard them say mean things about her. She wished they would go away.
+
+She finished and flushed the toilet. She opened the door and saw the girls waiting for her. They blocked her way to the sink.
+
+"Move, please. I need to wash my hands," Lily said.
+
+"No, you don't. You're too dirty to wash. You're a dirty baby. Go back to your crib," the other girl said.
+
+Lily felt angry and brave. She tried to push past them, but they pushed her back. She stumbled and fell on the floor. She hurt her knee and her elbow. She cried out loud.
+
+The teacher heard her cry and came to the bathroom. She saw Lily on the floor and the girls standing over her. She saw the mess and the water and the paper towels. She saw Lily's hall pass and her tummy ache.
+
+She was very angry. She scolded the girls and sent them to the principal's office. She helped Lily up and hugged her. She cleaned her wounds and dried her tears. She took her back to the classroom and gave her a snack and a drink.
+
+Lily felt better. She thanked her teacher and smiled. She was not miserable anymore. She was proud. She had tried to stand up for herself. She had tried to be brave. She had tried to be a big girl.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big jug of water and some cups. They wanted to make tea for their dolls and teddies.
+
+"Can I have the jug, please?" Sara asked Tom.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is very heavy," Tom said. He gave the jug to Sara.
+
+Sara tried to lift the jug, but it was too big for her. She dropped it on the ground. The water spilled everywhere. The dolls and teddies got wet. Sara and Tom got wet too.
+
+"Oh no! Look what you did!" Tom shouted. He was angry and sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to," Sara said. She was sorry and sad too.
+
+They looked at their toys. They were all soaked. They looked at each other. They were soaked too.
+
+Then they started to laugh. They realized it was funny. They splashed each other with the water. They had fun.
+
+They forgot about the tea. They played with the water until it was gone. They dried their toys and themselves. They hugged and said sorry.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with big jugs. They learned to forgive and have fun. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are adventurous twins. They like to explore new places and have fun. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Anna says.
+
+"Maybe it has toys or books or candy!" Ben says.
+
+They lift the lid and see a lot of old things. There are clothes, hats, shoes, pictures, and a small radio.
+
+"What is this?" Anna asks, picking up the radio.
+
+"It looks like a music box. Maybe it plays songs!" Ben says.
+
+He turns a knob and the radio makes a loud noise. It sounds like a cat in pain.
+
+"Ow! That hurts my ears!" Anna says.
+
+"Me too! Turn it off!" Ben says.
+
+But Ben can't find the knob. He tries to push buttons and pull wires, but the noise only gets louder and louder.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shout.
+
+Mom hears them and runs to the garage. She sees the twins and the radio.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asks.
+
+"We found a music box, but it plays a bad song!" Anna says.
+
+"It's not a music box, it's a radio. And it's broken. That's why it makes that noise. You have to shut it off!" Mom says.
+
+She finds the switch and shuts off the radio. The noise stops.
+
+"Thank you, Mom!" the twins say.
+
+"You're welcome. But next time, don't touch things that don't belong to you. They might be dangerous or fragile. And don't make so much noise. You scared me!" Mom says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We were just adventurous. We wanted to hear a song." Ben says.
+
+"Well, next time, be adventurous with your own toys. Or ask me first. And if you want to hear a song, I can sing one for you." Mom says.
+
+She hugs the twins and sings a lullaby. They smile and listen. They like Mom's song better than the radio's song.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They like to play together. Today is their birthday. They have a big cake with candles and many gifts.
+
+"Look, Sara, this gift is for you!" Ben says. He gives Sara a big box with a bow. Sara smiles and opens the box. Inside is a doll with a pink dress and yellow hair. Sara likes the doll very much. She hugs it and says, "Thank you, Ben! This is a nice gift!"
+
+"You're welcome, Sara! And this gift is for me!" Ben says. He opens another box. Inside is a car with wheels and lights. Ben likes the car very much. He pushes it and makes vroom noises. He says, "Thank you, Sara! This is a cool gift!"
+
+They play with their gifts for a while. Then their mom calls them. "Come on, kids, it's time to blow the candles and eat the cake!" she says. Sara and Ben run to the table. They see the cake. It is chocolate with cream and sprinkles. It looks tasty. They blow the candles and make a wish. Then they cut the cake and eat it.
+
+"Mmm, this cake is tasty!" Sara says. She licks her lips.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says. He snaps his fingers. "I have an idea! Let's share our cake with our gifts!"
+
+"Okay!" Sara says. They take their cake pieces and give some to their doll and car. They pretend that their gifts are eating the cake too. They laugh and have fun.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll with a pretty bow in her hair. Ben had a car that made loud noises. They were having fun, but they did not share their toys.
+
+"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "You have your car."
+
+"But I want to see the bow!" Ben said. He tried to grab the doll from Lily.
+
+"Stop it!" Lily said. She pulled the doll back. The bow came off and fell on the floor. The doll's hair was messy.
+
+Lily started to cry. "You broke my doll! You are mean!"
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to break the doll. He picked up the bow and gave it to Lily.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily. I did not want to hurt your doll. She is fragile. Can we fix her?" Ben said.
+
+Lily looked at the bow and the doll. She sniffed. "Maybe we can. But you have to be gentle. And you have to share your car with me."
+
+Ben nodded. He hugged Lily and said, "I will. I am sorry I made you suffer. You are my sister and I love you."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Ben. Let's play together."
+Anna likes to skip in the garden. She likes to smell the flowers and the herbs. She likes to see the bees and the birds. She likes to play with her dog, Spot.
+
+One day, Anna sees a new herb in the garden. It is big and green and has purple flowers. Anna thinks it is pretty. She wants to smell it. She skips to the herb and bends down.
+
+"Hello, herb," Anna says. "You are very pretty. Can I smell you?"
+
+But the herb does not answer. Instead, it opens its mouth and shows its teeth. It is not a herb. It is a plant that eats bugs. And it is hungry.
+
+"Yikes!" Anna says. She jumps back and runs away. Spot barks and chases the plant. The plant is scared and closes its mouth. It does not like dogs.
+
+Anna runs to her mom, who is in the kitchen. She tells her what happened. Her mom hugs her and says, "Don't worry, Anna. That plant is not dangerous. It only eats small bugs, not big girls. But you should be careful and not touch it. It is not a herb. It is a carnivore."
+
+"A carni-what?" Anna asks.
+
+"A carnivore," her mom says. "It means a plant or an animal that eats other animals. Like lions and tigers and crocodiles. And that plant."
+
+Anna nods. She understands. She is glad that she and Spot are not carnivores. She likes to eat fruits and vegetables and cheese. And she likes to skip in the garden. But not near that plant. She will skip somewhere else.
+Lily and her mom went to visit grandma. Grandma lived in a big house with a big garden. Lily liked to play in the garden with the flowers and the birds. She also liked to pet grandma's cat, who had soft fur and a loud purr.
+
+"Hello, Lily, hello, mom," grandma said. She gave them a hug and a kiss. "I'm so glad you came to visit me. Do you want some cookies and milk?"
+
+"Yes, please, grandma," Lily said. She followed grandma to the kitchen. Mom helped grandma with the cookies and the milk. Lily saw the cat on the sofa. She ran to the cat and said, "Hello, kitty, can I pet you?"
+
+The cat looked at Lily and blinked. She stretched and jumped off the sofa. She rubbed her head against Lily's leg and said, "Meow."
+
+Lily smiled and picked up the cat. She stroked her fur and said, "You are so soft and warm. I like you, kitty. What is your name?"
+
+Grandma came back with a tray of cookies and milk. She said, "Her name is Fluffy. She likes you, too, Lily. She doesn't let everyone pet her, you know. You are very gentle with her."
+
+Lily put the cat down and said, "Thank you, grandma. Can I have a cookie and some milk?"
+
+"Of course, dear," grandma said. She gave Lily a cookie and a glass of milk. "You can have as many as you like. You are my special guest."
+
+Lily ate her cookie and drank her milk. She said, "I love you, grandma. And I love Fluffy, too. You have a nice house and a nice garden. I'm happy to visit you."
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "I love you, too, Lily. And I love mom, too. You make me happy, too. You are my precious family."
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a jar full of shiny stones in the garden. They were very happy and wanted to share the stones.
+
+"Look, Ben, these stones are so pretty!" Lily said. "Let's take them inside and make necklaces."
+
+"OK, Lily, but I want the blue ones. They are my favorite," Ben said.
+
+They carried the jar inside and put it on the table. Lily opened the jar and poured out the stones. She saw that there were only three blue stones and many other colors.
+
+"Ben, there are not enough blue stones for both of us. Can we share them?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, I want them all. They are mine. You can have the other colors," Ben said. He was selfish and did not want to share.
+
+He grabbed the blue stones and ran away. Lily was sad and angry. She followed him and tried to get the stones back.
+
+"Ben, stop! That's not fair! Give me one blue stone, please!" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily, go away! These are my stones!" Ben said.
+
+He ran into his room and slammed the door. Lily knocked on the door and cried. She did not understand why Ben was so selfish. She wished he would share with her. She missed playing with him.
+Lila and Tom were playing with their new marbles in the park. They had many colors and shapes, and they liked to roll them on the ground and see who could make them go farther. They also liked to trade them with each other and admire their shiny surfaces.
+
+But then, a big boy came and saw their marbles. He had a mean face and a loud voice. He said, "Give me your marbles, or I will take them by force!" He reached out his hand and grabbed some of Lila's marbles. Lila cried and said, "No, please, these are mine! They are new and I love them!"
+
+Tom felt angry and scared. He wanted to help Lila, but he was smaller than the big boy. He felt his body tremble and his heart beat fast. He looked around and saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up and said, "Leave us alone, or I will hit you with this stick!" He waved the stick in the air and tried to look brave.
+
+The big boy laughed and said, "You think you can scare me with that? You are just a baby! I will take all your marbles and then I will break your stick!" He moved closer to Tom and Lila, and tried to snatch more marbles.
+
+But then, a loud whistle sounded. It was the park ranger, who had seen the big boy bullying the smaller children. He ran over and said, "Hey, you, stop that right now! What are you doing to these kids? Give them back their marbles and apologize, or I will call your parents!"
+
+The big boy dropped the marbles and ran away. He was afraid of the park ranger and his whistle. Lila and Tom hugged each other and thanked the park ranger. They picked up their marbles and put them in their pockets. They decided to go home and play with them in their room, where they would be safe and happy.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play and share. One day, they find a big bunch of grapes in the kitchen. They are purple and shiny.
+
+"Look, grapes!" Lila says. "Let's eat some."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But we have to wash them first."
+
+They take the grapes to the sink and rinse them with water. Then they sit on the floor and start to eat. They are sweet and juicy.
+
+"Mmm, these are good," Lila says.
+
+"Yes, they are," Ben says.
+
+But then, Lila finds a grape that is different. It is green and wrinkled. She picks it up and bites it. It is tough and sour.
+
+"Yuck!" Lila says. "This grape is bad. It is tough and sour."
+
+She spits it out and makes a face.
+
+"Let me see," Ben says. He takes the grape from Lila and looks at it. He smells it and touches it.
+
+"This is not a grape," Ben says. "This is a raisin. It is a grape that is dried by the sun. Some people like it, but not me."
+
+He gives it back to Lila.
+
+"Me neither," Lila says. "I like fresh grapes, not raisins."
+
+They throw the raisin in the trash and eat more fresh grapes. They are happy and full.
+Lily liked to grow things. She had a small place in the garden where she planted seeds and watered them every day. She watched them grow into flowers and vegetables. She was very creative and made signs and pictures for her plants.
+
+One day, she saw a new plant in her place. It was not like the others. It had big green leaves and a purple stem. It grew very fast and soon it was taller than Lily. Lily was curious and wanted to see what it was.
+
+"Hello, plant," she said. "What are you?"
+
+The plant bent down and looked at Lily. It had a big yellow flower on its head. It smiled and said, "I am a sunflower. I came from a seed that the wind brought here. I like your place. It is sunny and warm."
+
+Lily smiled back. She liked the sunflower. It was friendly and pretty. She said, "I like you, too. You can stay in my place. Do you want some water?"
+
+The sunflower nodded. It said, "Yes, please. And thank you for being nice to me. You are a good gardener."
+
+Lily fetched some water and poured it on the sunflower. She said, "You are welcome. You are a good plant. Maybe we can grow more things together."
+
+The sunflower agreed. It said, "That would be fun. We can be creative and make this place beautiful."
+
+Lily and the sunflower became friends. They grew many things in the garden and shared them with Lily's family and friends. They were happy and proud of their place.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. Sara saw a bright red ball on the grass. She ran to get it. Tom ran after her.
+
+"Give me the ball!" Tom said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sara said. "I saw it first!"
+
+They both pulled the ball. The ball popped. Sara and Tom fell on the ground. They looked at the broken ball. They felt sad.
+
+They started to weep. They wept loud and hard. A lady came to them. She was kind and gentle.
+
+"What is wrong, children?" she asked.
+
+"We broke the ball!" Sara and Tom said. "It was bright and pretty and now it is gone!"
+
+The lady hugged them. She said, "Don't cry, children. It was just a ball. You can find another one. Or you can play with something else. The park has many toys and games. You can share and have fun."
+
+Sara and Tom stopped weeping. They wiped their eyes. They said sorry to each other. They hugged the lady. They thanked her.
+
+They went to play again. They found a big yellow truck. They took turns to drive it. They smiled and laughed. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they notice a group of ducks by the pond. The ducks are lazy. They do not swim or quack. They just sit on the grass and sleep.
+
+"Look, Tom, ducks!" Lily says. She runs to the pond. She wants to feed the ducks. She has some bread in her pocket.
+
+"Wait, Lily, be careful!" Tom says. He follows her. He knows the ducks can bite. He does not want Lily to get hurt.
+
+Lily reaches the pond. She breaks the bread into small pieces. She throws them to the ducks. But the ducks do not eat. They do not even look at the bread. They keep sleeping.
+
+"Why are the ducks so lazy, Tom?" Lily asks. She is sad. She wants the ducks to be happy.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe they are tired. Maybe they ate too much. Maybe they are bored." Tom says. He shrugs. He does not understand the ducks either.
+
+Lily and Tom sit by the pond. They watch the ducks. They hope the ducks will wake up and play. They wait and wait. But the ducks do not move. They are too lazy.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play games and share toys. One day, they decided to celebrate Ben's birthday. They made a cake with mom and put candles on it. They also blew up balloons and hung them on the wall.
+
+"Happy birthday, Ben!" Lily said. "I have a present for you. It is a book with pictures and stories. Do you like it?"
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I love it. It is a very nice book. You are a good friend," Ben said. He hugged Lily and opened the book. They looked at the pictures and read the stories together.
+
+They were having fun, but they did not see that the candles on the cake were burning too long. The cake was getting hot and the frosting was melting. The balloons were also getting hot and they started to pop.
+
+"Pop! Pop! Pop!" The balloons made loud noises and scared Lily and Ben. They looked at the cake and saw that it was on fire. They screamed and ran to mom.
+
+"Mom! Mom! Help! The cake is on fire!" Lily and Ben cried.
+
+Mom heard them and came to the kitchen. She saw the fire and grabbed a towel. She put the towel on the cake and put out the fire. She was angry and scared.
+
+"What were you doing? You could have burned the house down! You should not leave the candles on the cake. You should blow them out. You were very careless and dangerous," mom said. She was the judge and she was not happy.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to start the fire. They wanted to celebrate, not to make trouble. They apologized to mom and hugged her.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We were looking at the book and we forgot. We will not do it again. Please forgive us," Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom sighed and hugged them back. She was still angry, but she also loved them. She knew they were young and they made a mistake. She decided to give them another chance.
+
+"Okay, I forgive you. But you have to be more careful and responsible. Fire is not a toy. It can hurt you and others. You have to respect it and use it wisely. Do you understand?" mom said.
+
+"Yes, mom. We understand. We will be more careful and responsible. Thank you for forgiving us," Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She was glad they were safe and they learned a lesson. She also wanted them to have a happy birthday. She got another cake from the fridge and put it on the table. She lit the candles and sang with them.
+
+"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Ben, happy birthday to you!" mom, Lily and Ben sang.
+
+They blew out the candles and made a wish. They cut the cake and ate it. It was yummy and sweet. They also played with the balloons and the book. They had fun and they were happy. They celebrated Ben's birthday and they were friends.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It looked like a tunnel. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in!" said Ben.
+
+"Is it safe?" asked Lily.
+
+"Of course!" said Ben. "It will be fun!"
+
+They crawled into the hole. It was dark and cold. They could not see anything. They heard strange noises. They felt scared.
+
+"Ben, I don't like this!" said Lily.
+
+"Me neither!" said Ben. "Let's go back!"
+
+They tried to turn around, but they could not. They were stuck. They started to cry.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted.
+
+A man heard their shouts. He was a worker. He was digging the tunnel. He ran to the hole. He saw the children.
+
+"Don't worry!" he said. "I will get you out!"
+
+He pulled them out of the hole. He was strong and kind. He hugged them.
+
+"Are you OK?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you!" said Ben and Lily.
+
+"Why did you go in there?" he asked.
+
+"We were curious," said Ben.
+
+"We were silly," said Lily.
+
+The man smiled. He was honest.
+
+"You were brave, too," he said. "But you should never go underground without permission. It is dangerous. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, we do," said Ben and Lily.
+
+They said sorry to the man. They ran to their mom. They told her what happened. She was angry, but also happy. She hugged them.
+
+"Next time, listen to me," she said. "And stay away from the hole!"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They never went underground again. They played in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. The garden has many flowers and trees. Sara and Ben like to smell the flowers and climb the trees.
+
+One day, they see a big wall in the garden. The wall is very high and has no door. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see what is behind the wall.
+
+"Let's lean on the wall and try to look over it," Sara says.
+
+"OK," Ben says.
+
+They lean on the wall and stretch their necks. They see a pond with many fish and frogs. They also see a swing and a slide. They think it looks fun.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Sara says.
+
+"Can we go there?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we can ask the owner," Sara says.
+
+They look for the owner of the pond and the swing and the slide. They see a lady sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. She looks kind and intelligent.
+
+"Excuse me, lady," Sara says.
+
+The lady looks up and smiles.
+
+"Hello, children. What can I do for you?" she asks.
+
+"We are sorry to bother you, but we saw your pond and your swing and your slide. They look very nice. Can we play there, please?" Sara asks.
+
+The lady nods.
+
+"Of course, you can. I'm glad you like them. They are for everyone to enjoy. But you have to be careful and not fall into the pond or hurt yourself on the swing or the slide. And you have to be respectful and not make a mess or break anything. Do you understand?" she says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod.
+
+"Yes, we understand. Thank you, lady. You are very nice," they say.
+
+The lady smiles again.
+
+"You're welcome, children. You are very polite. Have fun, but be safe," she says.
+
+Sara and Ben run to the pond and the swing and the slide. They have a lot of fun. They thank the lady again when they leave. They learn that it is good to be curious, but also to ask for permission and to be careful and respectful. They also learn that the lady is very generous and intelligent. They want to be like her when they grow up.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to feed the birds. Every day, she would take some bread and seeds and go to the park with her mom. She liked to watch the birds fly and sing and eat. She knew their names and colors and sounds.
+
+One day, it was very dark and cold. Lily heard a loud noise in the sky. It was thunder. She was scared and hid behind her mom. She saw the birds fly away. She felt sad and lonely. She wanted to feed the birds, but they were gone.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, my sweet. The thunder will go away soon. The birds will come back when the sun comes out. They are not lonely. They have each other. And you have me. We can feed the birds tomorrow."
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She felt better. She knew mom was right. She loved mom and the birds. She hoped the sun would come out soon. She wanted to feed the birds again.
+Tim and Amy like to play with trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They make tracks on the floor and pretend to be drivers. They name their trains and give them voices.
+
+One day, they find a big train in the garage. It is black and shiny and has a loud whistle. Tim says, "Wow, look at this train! It is so cool! Can we play with it?" Amy says, "I don't know. It looks scary. Maybe it is not a toy. Maybe it is Dad's train."
+
+Tim says, "No, it is a toy. See, it has a button. Let's push it and see what happens." Amy says, "No, don't push it. It might be dangerous. Let's go back to our trains." Tim says, "No, I want to try it. It will be fun. Come on, don't be a baby."
+
+Tim pushes the button. The train starts to move. It makes a loud noise and smoke comes out of it. Tim and Amy scream. They try to run away, but the train is too fast. It chases them around the garage. It knocks over boxes and tools and bikes. It breaks the door and goes outside. It runs over the flowers and the grass. It heads towards the street.
+
+Tim and Amy cry for help. They hope someone will stop the train. But no one hears them. The train is too loud. The train is too scary. The train is not a toy. The train is a monster.
+Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play and share, but sometimes they fought. One day, Mom baked some cookies for them. She put them on a plate and said, "You can each have one cookie, but you have to choose together."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at the cookies. There were chocolate ones and vanilla ones. Ben liked chocolate, but Lily liked vanilla. They both wanted the same kind of cookie. They started to argue.
+
+"I want a chocolate cookie!" Ben said.
+
+"No, I want a vanilla cookie!" Lily said.
+
+They pulled and pushed the plate, trying to get their favorite cookie. They did not listen to Mom or each other. They were ignorant.
+
+Mom saw them fighting. She was sad and angry. She took the plate away and said, "No cookies for you! You have to learn to be kind and respectful. Maybe next time you will choose better."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They hugged Mom and said, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you and each other. Can we have a cookie, please?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can have a cookie, but only one. And you have to share it. Half for Ben and half for Lily. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They agreed to share the cookie. They did not care if it was chocolate or vanilla. They just wanted to be happy and make Mom happy. They thanked Mom and ate the cookie together. It was delicious. They learned to choose well.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play on the farm with their grandpa. Grandpa has many animals, but their favorite is Molly the mule. Molly is brown and white and very strong. She helps grandpa carry things and pull the cart.
+
+One day, Tim and Sam want to give Molly a treat. They ask grandpa what Molly likes to eat. Grandpa says, "Molly loves apples. They are sweet and crunchy and good for her teeth. Why don't you pick some from the tree and bring them to her?"
+
+Tim and Sam run to the apple tree. They see many red and green apples. They pick some and put them in a basket. They also find a jug of water. They think Molly might be thirsty, too. They carry the basket and the jug to the barn, where Molly is resting.
+
+"Molly, Molly, we have something for you!" Tim and Sam shout. Molly hears them and lifts her head. She sees the basket and the jug. She walks to them and sniffs. She smells the apples and makes a happy sound.
+
+"Here you go, Molly. These are apples. They are delicious. You can have them all," Tim says. He pours some water into a bowl and puts it next to Molly. "And this is water. It is fresh and cool. You can drink it all, too."
+
+Molly nods and smiles. She takes a big bite of an apple and crunches it. She drinks some water and licks her lips. She thanks Tim and Sam with a nuzzle and a lick. Tim and Sam hug Molly and pet her. They are happy to see Molly happy. They love Molly the mule.
+Jill and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a shiny jewel on the grass. It is red and round and sparkles in the sun.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Jill says, holding the jewel in her hand. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see?" Ben asks, reaching for the jewel.
+
+Jill does not want to share. She pulls the jewel away from Ben. "No, it is mine! I found it first!"
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He wants to see the jewel too. He tries to grab it from Jill. They tug and pull and fight over the jewel.
+
+Suddenly, the jewel breaks in half. It falls to the ground and makes a loud noise. Jill and Ben stop fighting. They look at the broken jewel. It is not shiny and pretty anymore. It is dull and cracked.
+
+They feel sorry and ashamed. They hurt each other and the jewel. They hug and say sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Jill. I should have asked nicely," Ben says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I should have shared with you," Jill says.
+
+They pick up the broken jewel and put it in their pocket. They decide to keep it as a reminder to be kind and gentle. They go back to playing in the park. They are happy again.
+Lila and Tom are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They are very happy.
+
+But then, they see a big switch on a pole. It is shiny and red. They wonder what it does. They want to try it.
+
+"Let's go and stand on the switch," says Tom. "Maybe it will make something fun happen."
+
+"OK," says Lila. "But be careful. It might be icy and slippery."
+
+They run to the switch and stand on it together. They hear a loud click. Suddenly, the snowman starts to move. He lifts his arms and shakes his head. He smiles and says, "Hello, children. Thank you for making me. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lila and Tom are very surprised and scared. They jump off the switch and run away. They hide behind a tree and watch the snowman. He looks lonely and sad.
+
+"Maybe he is nice," says Lila. "Maybe he just wants to be our friend."
+
+"Maybe," says Tom. "But he is also very big and strange. I don't know if we can trust him."
+
+They don't know what to do. They wonder if they should go back to the switch and turn him off, or if they should talk to him and play with him. They are very confused.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It has a loop in the middle. Anna thinks it looks fun. Ben thinks it looks scary.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Anna says.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "It has a loop. What if we fall?"
+
+"We won't fall," Anna says. "It will be fun. Come on, I'll go first."
+
+Anna runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top. She smiles at Ben.
+
+"Are you ready?" she asks.
+
+Ben is worried. He does not want to go on the slide. But he does not want to make Anna sad. He nods.
+
+"OK," he says.
+
+Anna slides down. She goes fast. She goes through the loop. She laughs. She lands on the ground. She is happy.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" she says. "Your turn, Ben!"
+
+Ben walks to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top. He looks at the loop. He is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben!" Anna says. "You can do it!"
+
+Ben closes his eyes. He slides down. He goes fast. He goes through the loop. He screams. He lands on the ground. He is shaky.
+
+"Are you OK, Ben?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben opens his eyes. He looks at Anna. He sees her smile. He feels better.
+
+"I did it!" he says. "That was scary, but fun!"
+
+Anna hugs Ben. She is proud of him.
+
+"You did it!" she says. "You are brave, Ben!"
+
+Ben hugs Anna. He is thankful for her.
+
+"Thank you, Anna," he says. "You are a good friend, Anna!"
+
+They smile at each other. They are happy. They welcome the next adventure.
+Ben and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to build sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to wave at the boats that passed by. Sometimes the people on the boats would wave back and smile.
+
+One day, they saw a big boat with a sign that said "Treasure Hunt". They were curious and ran to the shore. A man with a loud voice and a hat was talking to the crowd.
+
+"Hello, everyone! Welcome to the Treasure Hunt! We have hidden some prizes on the island. If you want to join, you need to buy a ticket and get on the boat. The first one to find a prize and bring it back wins!"
+
+Ben and Lily wanted to join, but they had no money. They looked at each other and had an idea. They ran to their sand castle and grabbed a shiny shell. They ran back to the man and showed him the shell.
+
+"Look, we have a ticket!" they said.
+
+The man looked at the shell and laughed. He liked their cleverness and their enthusiasm. He decided to let them join for free.
+
+"OK, you can come on the boat. But you have to be alert and careful. The island is full of surprises and dangers. Are you ready?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They got on the boat and waved goodbye to their parents. They were excited and nervous. They hoped to find a prize and have fun. They did not know what adventures awaited them on the island.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pool of water in the park. It was from the rain that fell last night. They wanted to swim in it, but their moms said no. They said it was dirty and cold and they could get sick.
+
+But Lily and Tom did not listen. They waited until their moms were busy talking and ran to the pool. They took off their shoes and socks and jumped in. They splashed and laughed and had fun. They did not see their moms looking for them.
+
+"Where are Lily and Tom?" one mom asked.
+
+"I don't know, they were here a minute ago," the other mom said.
+
+They followed the sound of water and found them in the pool. They were very angry and scared.
+
+"Lily! Tom! What are you doing?" they shouted.
+
+Lily and Tom stopped playing and looked at their moms. They felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. They got out of the pool and hung their heads.
+
+"We're sorry, mom," they said.
+
+Their moms hugged them and said they were glad they were safe. But they also said they had to go home and take a bath and a nap. They said they had to learn to obey and not swim in dirty water.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and said they understood. They put on their shoes and socks and followed their moms. They did not look at the pool again. They hoped their moms would still love them.
+Lily liked to play dress-up with her big sister's clothes. She found a pink dress with flowers and put it on. She felt like a princess. She wanted to show her mom and dad.
+
+She went to the door of her room, but it was locked. Her big sister had locked it to keep Lily out of her things. Lily was sad and angry. She wanted to escape.
+
+She looked around and saw a window. It was open a little bit. She pushed it more and saw the garden. She saw her mom and dad sitting on chairs. They were drinking healthy juice and reading books.
+
+Lily climbed on the bed and reached for the window. She was careful not to rip the dress. She squeezed through the window and jumped down. She ran to her mom and dad.
+
+"Look at me!" she said. "I'm a princess!"
+
+Her mom and dad looked up and smiled. They saw the dress and the window. They knew what Lily had done.
+
+"Lily, you're a very clever princess," her mom said. "But you shouldn't escape from your room like that. It's dangerous. And you shouldn't take your sister's clothes without asking. It's not nice."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She hugged her mom and dad and said, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to play. Can I keep the dress?"
+
+Her mom and dad laughed and said, "No, you can't keep the dress. But you can borrow it sometimes, if your sister agrees. And we can play dress-up together, if you want."
+
+Lily was happy. She said, "Yes, please. I love you, mom and dad. And I love the dress."
+
+The end.
+Sam and Mia are playing with blocks in the yard. They like to build towers and houses with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and more.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a great tower!" Sam says, showing his blocks to his sister.
+
+"Wow, Sam, your tower is very high and strong!" Mia says. "Can I help you?"
+
+"Yes, Mia, you can help me. We can make the tower even greater!" Sam says.
+
+They add more blocks to the tower, making it taller and wider. They are happy and proud of their work.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. They look up and see a big plane flying over them. The plane is shiny and made of metal. The sun is very hot and bright, and it makes the metal melt. The melted metal falls from the plane like rain.
+
+"Oh no, the plane is broken!" Mia says, scared.
+
+"Run, Mia, run!" Sam says, grabbing his sister's hand. "The metal is hot and it can hurt us!"
+
+They run away from the tower, dodging the metal drops. They reach the porch and hide under a table. They hug each other and wait for the noise to stop.
+
+"Are you okay, Mia?" Sam asks, after a while.
+
+"I'm okay, Sam. Are you okay?" Mia asks.
+
+"I'm okay, Mia. But our tower is gone. The metal melted it." Sam says, sadly.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. We can build another tower later. But I'm glad we are safe." Mia says, kindly.
+
+"I'm glad, too, Mia. You are a great sister." Sam says, smiling.
+
+They hug each other again and wait for their mom to come. They hope the plane is okay, too.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there are many old things. They see a fat gun, a hat, a letter, and a belt.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. He picks up the fat gun. It is black and shiny. He puts the hat on his head and the belt around his waist. He feels like a cowboy.
+
+"Can I see the letter?" Sam asks. He is curious. He takes the letter from the box. It is yellow and old. He opens it and tries to read it. It has many words he does not know.
+
+"Bang! Bang!" Tim shouts. He points the fat gun at Sam and pretends to shoot. He thinks it is fun.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Sam says. He does not like it. He is scared of the fat gun. He thinks it is loud and dangerous. He drops the letter and runs away.
+
+"Sam, wait!" Tim calls. He does not want to make Sam sad. He puts down the fat gun and chases after him. He wants to say sorry and play with him again.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They have a big rug with roads and buildings on it. They pretend to drive their cars on the rug.
+
+One day, Tom has a new car. It is red and shiny. It has a button on it. Tom says, "Look, Anna, this is my new car. It can do something special. It can reverse!"
+
+Anna is curious. She says, "What is reverse?"
+
+Tom says, "Reverse is when the car goes backwards. Like this." He presses the button and the car moves backwards on the rug. He says, "See? It is fun!"
+
+Anna says, "Wow, that is cool! Can I try?"
+
+Tom says, "Sure, but you have to pass a test first. You have to say the word reverse three times fast."
+
+Anna says, "OK, I can do that. Reverse, reverse, reverse!"
+
+Tom says, "Good job, Anna! You passed the test. Here, you can play with my car."
+
+Anna says, "Thank you, Tom! You are a good friend. Your car is very popular. I like it a lot." She presses the button and the car reverses on the rug. She says, "This is fun!"
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to travel. They had a big map on the wall and they put stickers on the places they wanted to go. One day, they decided to travel to the top of the hill near their house. They packed some snacks and water and put on their hats and shoes.
+
+"Are you ready, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I am, Lily. Let's go!" Tom said.
+
+They walked and walked until they reached the foot of the hill. They saw a path that went up to the top. They also saw a sign that said "Be careful. The path is delicate. Do not run or jump."
+
+"What does delicate mean, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"It means that it can break easily, Tom. We have to be gentle and slow." Lily said.
+
+They nodded and started to climb the path. They saw many flowers and birds and rocks. They were happy and curious. They wanted to see what was on the top of the hill.
+
+But Tom was also impatient. He wanted to get there faster. He started to run and jump on the path. He did not listen to the sign or to Lily.
+
+"Tom, stop! You are making the path delicate!" Lily shouted.
+
+But Tom did not stop. He ran and jumped until he reached a big crack on the path. He did not see it and he fell into it. He hurt his leg and cried.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. She ran to him and helped him out of the crack. She saw that his leg was bleeding and swollen.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I did not listen to the sign or to you. I made the path delicate and I hurt myself." Tom said.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to learn to be careful and respectful. The path is delicate, but so are you. You have to take care of yourself and of the things around you." Lily said.
+
+She gave him a hug and a band-aid. They decided to go back home and rest. They did not see what was on the top of the hill, but they learned a valuable lesson. They promised to travel again, but this time, they would be gentle and slow.
+Lily likes to help her mom with the mail. Every day, they walk to the big box at the end of the street and get the letters and papers. Lily likes to look at the pictures and colors on the mail. Sometimes, there is a card or a sticker for her.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big envelope with her name on it. It was from her grandma, who lives far away. Lily was very happy and opened it with her mom. Inside, there was a card with a beautiful drawing of a flower and a butterfly. Lily loved it and smiled. There was also a note from her grandma, saying that she missed her and hoped to see her soon.
+
+Lily wanted to say thank you to her grandma, but she did not know how. She asked her mom for help. Her mom said they could make a card for her grandma and send it back with the mail. Lily thought that was a good idea. She got some paper, crayons, and stickers and made a card for her grandma. She drew a heart and wrote "I love you" with her mom's help. She also put a big kiss on the card with her lipstick.
+
+Lily and her mom put the card in a new envelope and wrote her grandma's address on it. They walked to the big box and put the card inside. Lily hoped her grandma would like it and feel happy. She said bye to the card and gave it a hug. She was proud of her card and her kiss. She told her mom she loved her and gave her a kiss too. Her mom said she loved her and gave her a kiss back. They walked home, holding hands and smiling.
+Sara likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She dances with her dolls, her dog, and her friends. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored.
+
+One day, Sara wakes up and sees snow outside. She has never seen snow before. She thinks it is white sand. She puts on her coat, her hat, and her boots. She runs outside to play in the snow.
+
+She tries to make a sandcastle, but the snow is too cold and wet. She tries to dig a hole, but the snow is too soft and fluffy. She tries to draw a picture, but the snow is too smooth and blank. She is confused. She does not know how to play in the snow.
+
+Then she sees some children on the hill. They have sleds and snowballs. They slide down the hill and throw snowballs at each other. They laugh and shout. Sara thinks they look fun. She wants to join them.
+
+She runs to the hill and asks if she can play. The children say yes and give her a sled. She sits on the sled and holds on tight. The children push her down the hill. She feels the wind in her face and the snow in her hair. She feels a new feeling. She feels excited.
+
+She likes the feeling. She wants to feel it again. She climbs up the hill and slides down again. She does it over and over. She makes friends with the children. She learns how to make snowballs and throw them. She learns how to make a snowman and a snow angel. She learns how to play in the snow.
+
+She forgets about the sandcastle, the hole, and the picture. She forgets about being confused. She remembers how to dance. She dances in the snow. She dances with her sled, her snowballs, and her friends. She dances when she is excited, when she is happy, and when she is having fun.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they have a tea party in the garden. They use a small table and some cups and plates. They pretend to pour tea and eat cake.
+
+"Would you like some tea, Ben?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, please, Anna. You are a good host," Ben says.
+
+They sip their tea and make funny noises. They laugh and have fun.
+
+Anna sees a butterfly on a flower. It is yellow and black. It is cute.
+
+"Look, Ben, a butterfly!" Anna says.
+
+"Wow, it is cute. Can I see?" Ben says.
+
+They get up and go to the flower. They are careful not to scare the butterfly. They watch it flap its wings.
+
+"It is so pretty. I like butterflies," Anna says.
+
+"Me too. They are like flying flowers," Ben says.
+
+The butterfly flies away. They wave goodbye.
+
+"Thank you for the tea, Anna. It was yummy," Ben says.
+
+"Thank you for playing with me, Ben. You are a nice friend," Anna says.
+
+They hug and smile. They are happy.
+Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and joke with each other. One day, they saw a big tent in the park. It was colorful and had many flags. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They ran to the tent and peeked through a hole. They saw a man with a funny hat and a long nose. He was holding a stick that had fire on it. He was juggling the fire and making funny noises. Sara and Tom laughed and clapped.
+
+The man saw them and smiled. He said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to see a trick?" He waved his stick and made the fire bigger. Sara and Tom nodded and moved closer.
+
+The man said, "Watch this. I can make the fire disappear." He threw the stick in the air and caught it with his mouth. He closed his lips and the fire was gone. Sara and Tom gasped and clapped louder.
+
+The man said, "Thank you, thank you. But don't try this at home, kids. Fire is dangerous and can hurt you. Only I can do this because I am a clown and I know how to joke with fire."
+
+Sara and Tom said, "Wow, you are amazing. Can you show us more tricks?"
+
+The man said, "Sure, sure. But first, you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never play with fire or matches or candles. Do you promise?"
+
+Sara and Tom said, "We promise, we promise. We will never play with fire."
+
+The man said, "Good, good. Now, follow me. I have more surprises for you in the tent."
+
+Sara and Tom followed the man into the tent. They did not see the sign that said, "Danger: Fireworks Inside". They did not know that the man was not a clown, but a thief who wanted to distract them and steal their toys. They did not know that the fire was not a joke, but a trap. They did not know that the tent was about to explode.
+Sara and Ben are going to see a show. They are very happy. They have a big bag with snacks and toys. They get to the big place where the show is. They see many people and chairs and a big stage.
+
+Sara and Ben find their seats. They want to unpack their bag. They want to eat and play. But Mom says no. Mom says they have to wait. The show will start soon. They have to be quiet and watch the stage. Sara and Ben are sad. They do not want to wait. They do not want to be quiet.
+
+The show starts. Sara and Ben see people in funny clothes. They see animals and music and colors. They forget about their bag. They start to smile and clap. They like the show. They think it is fun. They are not sad anymore.
+
+But then something bad happens. A big lion gets out of his cage. He runs to the stage. He roars and jumps. He scares the people and the animals. He makes a big mess. Sara and Ben are scared. They scream and cry. Mom hugs them and says it is okay. She says the lion is not real. He is just a toy. He is part of the show.
+
+Sara and Ben do not believe Mom. They think the lion is real. They think he is bad. They want to go home. They do not like the show anymore. They want to unpack their bag. They want to eat and play. They do not want to see the stage. They do not want to see the lion. They want to be safe and happy.
+Tim likes to jog with his dog Rex. Rex is a big and powerful dog. He has a red collar with a shiny tag. Tim and Rex jog in the park every day. They see many things: trees, flowers, birds, squirrels, and other dogs.
+
+One day, Tim and Rex meet a new dog in the park. The new dog is small and white. He has a blue collar with a bell. He barks at Rex and tries to chase him. Rex does not like the new dog. He growls and shows his teeth.
+
+"Stop it, Rex!" Tim says. "He is just a little dog. He is not a bad dog. He wants to play with you."
+
+But Rex does not listen to Tim. He pulls on his leash and runs after the new dog. The new dog runs away, scared. Tim tries to hold on to Rex, but Rex is too powerful. He drags Tim along the grass.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tim cries. "Rex, come back!"
+
+A lady hears Tim's cry. She is walking with a big and black dog. She has a yellow collar with a flower. She sees Rex and the new dog running. She calls her dog.
+
+"Max, go get them!" she says.
+
+Max is a smart and friendly dog. He runs after Rex and the new dog. He catches up with them and barks. He tells Rex to stop and calm down. He tells the new dog to not be afraid. He brings them back to Tim and the lady.
+
+"Thank you, Max!" Tim says. "You are a good dog. I am sorry, Rex. You were naughty. You should not chase other dogs. You should be nice to them."
+
+Rex looks down and wags his tail. He is sorry, too. He sniffs the new dog and the lady's dog. He makes friends with them. The lady smiles and pets Rex.
+
+"It's okay, Tim," she says. "Dogs sometimes get excited and forget their manners. But they can also learn and apologize. You have a beautiful dog. What is his name?"
+
+"His name is Rex," Tim says. "And this is Max, and this is... what is your dog's name?"
+
+"My dog's name is Fluffy," she says. "He is a bit shy, but he likes to play, too."
+
+Tim and the lady chat for a while. Rex, Max, and Fluffy play together. They run, jump, and roll on the grass. They have fun. Tim and Rex are happy. They have made new friends in the park.
+Tommy loved to play in the garden. He liked to dig in the dirt, look for bugs, and watch the birds. One day, he saw something new in the garden. It was a small, green lizard. It had a long tail, four legs, and shiny eyes. Tommy was very enthusiastic. He wanted to catch the lizard and make it his friend.
+
+He ran after the lizard, but it was very fast. It ran under a rock, then behind a flower, then up a tree. Tommy followed it, but he could not catch it. He felt sad and frustrated. He wished the lizard would stay still and let him touch it.
+
+"Tommy, what are you doing?" his mom asked. She came out of the house and saw him chasing the lizard.
+
+"I want to play with the lizard, mom. It is so pretty and cool. But it runs away from me. Why does it do that?" Tommy asked.
+
+"Tommy, the lizard is scared of you. You are much bigger and louder than it. It thinks you want to hurt it or eat it. You have to be gentle and quiet if you want to make friends with it. You have to mind its feelings and respect its space. Do you understand?" his mom explained.
+
+Tommy nodded. He understood. He did not want to scare the lizard or make it unhappy. He wanted to be nice and friendly. He decided to try a different approach.
+
+He sat down on the grass, near the tree where the lizard was hiding. He did not move or make any noise. He just watched the lizard with curiosity and admiration. He hoped the lizard would see that he was not a threat, but a friend.
+
+After a while, the lizard peeked out from behind a branch. It saw Tommy sitting quietly and calmly. It sensed that Tommy was not dangerous, but kind and gentle. It felt curious and brave. It slowly crawled down the tree and approached Tommy. It stopped a few inches away from him and looked at him with its shiny eyes.
+
+Tommy smiled. He felt happy and excited. He reached out his hand very slowly and carefully. He touched the lizard's back with his finger. It felt smooth and warm. The lizard did not run away. It stayed still and let Tommy stroke it. It even licked Tommy's finger with its tongue. Tommy giggled. He made a new friend. He thanked his mom for her advice. He learned to mind the lizard's feelings and respect its space. He and the lizard had a lot of fun in the garden. They played hide and seek, tag, and catch. They became the best of friends.

+

+Once upon a time, there was a cute little puppy. He liked to run and play all day long. One day, he saw a big, tall tree in the park. He wanted to go and see it up close, but he didn't know how to get there.
+
+The puppy looked around and saw a boy with a stick. He went up to the boy and wagged his tail. The boy saw the puppy and smiled. He picked up the puppy and pointed to the tree. "Do you want to go there?" he asked. The puppy barked happily.
+
+The boy carried the puppy to the tree and put him down. The puppy was so happy to be there. He wagged his tail and looked up at the tree. Suddenly, a squirrel appeared and ran up the tree. The puppy barked and tried to climb up too, but he couldn't. The boy picked him up and they went home. The puppy was tired but happy. He knew he would be back to see the tree again someday.

+
+The girl smiled and said, "I have an idea! You can polish your singing voice and enter the frog singing competition." Freddy was excited and immediately started practicing his singing. He polished his voice every day and finally, the day of the competition arrived.

+
+One day, Sue wanted to record a song for her grandchild. She sang a song about love and kindness. Tom, the cat, listened to her song and purred happily. Sue's grandchild loved the song so much that they played it again and again.
+
+The grandchild shared the song with friends, and they all learned the words. The children in the town started to be more kind and loving to each other.

+
+"Look at our tower!" Tom says. "It is so tall and strong!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Sam says. "We are good builders!"
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. The dog runs into the room. The dog sees the tower. The dog wants to play with the tower.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom and Sam say. "The dog will knock down our tower!"
+
+They run to the tower. They try to protect it. They shout at the dog. "Go away, dog! This is our tower!"
+
+But the dog does not listen. The dog is not alert. The dog is playful. The dog jumps at the tower. The tower falls down. The blocks scatter everywhere.
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They worked hard to finish their tower. Now it is gone.
+
+The dog is sorry. The dog did not mean to ruin their tower. The dog wags its tail. The dog licks their faces.
+
+Tom and Sam are not angry. They are kind. They forgive the dog. They pet the dog.

+Tim and Lily were playing pirates in the park. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was a ship. They wore hats and eye patches and said "Arrr!" a lot.
+
+They saw a shiny bike near the swings. It was red and had a bell and a basket. It looked very expensive. Tim wanted to ride it. He said to Lily, "Let's take that bike. We are pirates. We can take anything we want."
+
+Lily did not think that was a good idea. She said to Tim, "No, Tim. That is not our bike. That is someone else's bike. They will be sad if we take it. We should not be bad pirates. We should be nice pirates."
+
+But Tim did not listen to Lily. He ran to the bike and got on it. He rang the bell and said, "This is my bike now. I am the best pirate ever. Come on, Lily. Let's go."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to go with Tim. She wanted to stay in the park. She wanted to hug Tim and make him stop. But Tim was too fast. He rode away from Lily and the box and the swings.
+
+He did not see the big dog that was running after him. The dog was angry. It did not like the bell. It did not like the bike. It did not like Tim. It barked and growled and bit Tim's leg. Tim screamed and fell off the bike. He dropped the hat and the eye patch. He cried and cried.
+
+The owner of the bike and the dog came running. He was very mad. He yelled at Tim and took his bike back. He said, "You are a very naughty boy. You stole my bike. You hurt my dog. You should be ashamed of yourself."
+
+Tim was sorry. He was hurt and scared and sad. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had been a nice pirate. He wished he could hug Lily and say he was sorry. But Lily was not there. She was still in the park. She was looking for Tim. She was worried and sad. She wished Tim would come back. She wished he would hug her and say he was sorry. But Tim did not come back. He was taken away by the owner of the bike and the dog. He was in big trouble. He was not a pirate anymore. He was just a bad boy.
+Tim liked to watch the birds in the park. He liked their colors and their songs. He wished he had a bird to play with. He asked his mom if he could have a bird.
+
+"Sorry, Tim, but we can't have a bird in our home. Birds need a lot of space and care. They are not toys, they are living things," mom said.
+
+Tim was sad. He wanted a friend who could fly and sing with him. He went to the park again and looked for a bird. He saw a big cage with a lonely bird inside. The bird was gray and quiet. It looked sad too.
+
+"Hello, bird. Why are you in a cage? Don't you want to fly and sing?" Tim asked.
+
+The bird looked at Tim and said, "Hello, boy. I am in a cage because my owner left me here. He said he was going away and he couldn't take me with him. I miss him very much. I don't want to fly and sing. I want to be with him."
+
+Tim felt sorry for the bird. He wanted to help him. He looked around and saw no one. He had an idea. He opened the cage and took the bird out. He held him gently and said, "Don't worry, bird. I will be your friend. I will take you to my home and we will play together. You will not be lonely anymore."
+
+The bird felt happy. He thanked Tim and said, "You are very kind, boy. I will be your friend too. I will fly and sing with you. You will not be lonely anymore."
+
+Tim and the bird smiled and hugged. They walked to Tim's home, hoping mom would not be angry. They did not know that mom had seen them from the window and had a surprise for them. She had bought a big cage with toys and food for the bird. She had also found out who the bird's owner was and had called him. He was coming back soon and he wanted his bird back. He was very grateful to Tim for taking care of his bird. He said he would give Tim a reward. He had another bird, a yellow one, who needed a friend. He asked Tim if he wanted to have him.
+
+Tim was happy. He liked the yellow bird. He said yes. He also said goodbye to the gray bird. He was glad he had helped him. He told him he would always be his friend. The gray bird thanked him and said he would always remember him. He flew away with his owner.
+
+Tim and the yellow bird went to Tim's home. They played and sang together. They were not lonely anymore. Mom was proud of Tim. She hugged him and said, "You are a good boy, Tim. You have a big heart. You have made two birds happy. And you have made me happy too."
+Sara and Tom were playing with their toy animals in the garden. Sara had a big elephant and Tom had a small mouse. They made noises and pretended to be in the jungle.
+
+"Look, my elephant is so strong and brave!" Sara said. "He can squeeze anything with his trunk!"
+
+"Can he squeeze my mouse?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, he can!" Sara said. "But he won't, because he is nice and harmless. He only squeezes bad things, like snakes and crocodiles."
+
+Tom was curious. He wanted to see if the elephant could really squeeze his mouse. He moved his mouse closer to the elephant's trunk.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Sara asked. "Don't touch my elephant!"
+
+"I just want to see!" Tom said. "It's only a toy, it won't hurt!"
+
+But Sara was angry. She did not like Tom touching her elephant. She grabbed the elephant and pulled it away from Tom.
+
+"Give it back!" Tom shouted. "That's not fair!"
+
+They both tugged on the elephant, trying to get it to their side. The elephant's trunk stretched and twisted.
+
+"Stop it!" Sara cried. "You're breaking my elephant!"
+
+They heard a loud snap. The elephant's trunk broke off. They both gasped and let go of the elephant.
+
+They looked at each other, then at the broken toy. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara," Tom said. "I didn't mean to break your elephant."
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Sara said. "I shouldn't have been so mean to you."
+
+They hugged and said they were still friends. They decided to share their toys and play nicely. They fixed the elephant's trunk with some tape and glue. They learned to be careful and gentle with their toys and each other.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, but not much space. They wanted to fit all their toys in one big box, but the box was too small.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a doll and a car and a ball and a book. Can you fit them in the box?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom tried to put the toys in the box, but he was clumsy. He dropped the car and the ball on the floor. The doll and the book did not fit in the box either.
+
+"No, Lily, the box is too small. We need a bigger box. Or we need less toys." Tom said.
+
+Lily did not want to give away any of her toys. She loved them all. She had an idea.
+
+"Tom, I know what we can do. We can make more space. We can move the couch and the table and the chair. Then we will have more room for the box and the toys." Lily said.
+
+Tom liked the idea. He helped Lily move the furniture. They pushed and pulled and dragged the couch and the table and the chair to the other side of the living room. They made a lot of noise and a lot of mess.
+
+They were happy. They had more space. They put the big box in the middle of the floor. They fit all their toys in the box. They smiled and hugged.
+
+"Yay, we did it, Lily. We fit all our toys in the box. We are smart and strong." Tom said.
+
+"Yes, we are, Tom. We are smart and strong. And we have fun." Lily said.
+
+They played with their toys in the box. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the door. She was not happy. She saw the couch and the table and the chair on the other side of the living room. She saw the noise and the mess.
+
+She sighed and shook her head. She loved her children, but they were clumsy. She needed more space. And more patience.
+Sara was a lonely girl. She had no friends at school. She liked to examine bugs and flowers in the garden. She wished she had someone to share her discoveries with.
+
+One day, she saw a new boy in her class. His name was Tom. He had curly hair and big glasses. He looked shy and scared. Sara wanted to talk to him, but she did not know how.
+
+At recess, she saw him sitting alone on a bench. She gathered her courage and walked over to him. She said, "Hi, I'm Sara. Do you like bugs?"
+
+Tom looked up and smiled. He said, "Yes, I do. I have a book about bugs at home. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Sara nodded eagerly. She said, "Yes, please. I love books. Maybe we can examine bugs together."
+
+Tom and Sara became friends. They had a lot in common. They liked to read, draw, and explore. They had a meeting every day after school in the garden. They showed each other their findings and learned new things.
+
+Sara was not lonely anymore. She had found a friend who understood her. She was happy.
+Lily and Ben were making a cake with Mom. They had to stir the flour, the eggs, the sugar and the butter in a big bowl. Lily liked to stir fast and hard. Ben liked to stir slow and soft.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" Lily said. "We have to make the cake yummy!"
+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" Ben said. "We have to make the cake soft!"
+
+Mom smiled and helped them stir. She said, "You are both good helpers. The cake will be yummy and soft. But we need one more thing. Do you know what it is?"
+
+Lily and Ben thought hard. They looked at the bowl. They looked at the table. They looked at Mom.
+
+"Is it milk?" Lily asked.
+
+"Is it chocolate?" Ben asked.
+
+Mom shook her head. She said, "No, it is not milk or chocolate. It is something that grows on a tree. It is yellow and sour. It makes your nose wrinkle when you smell it. Do you know what it is?"
+
+Lily and Ben thought harder. They tried to remember what grows on a tree. They tried to remember what is yellow and sour. They tried to remember what makes their nose wrinkle.
+
+"Is it a lemon?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, it is a lemon!" Mom said. "You are very smart. We need a lemon to make the cake taste good. Can you help me squeeze the lemon?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They each took a half of the lemon. They squeezed it hard over the bowl. They watched the juice drip into the cake mix. They smelled the lemon. They wrinkled their nose.
+
+"It smells funny!" Lily said.
+
+"It smells good!" Ben said.
+
+Mom laughed and said, "It smells funny and good. It will make the cake sweet and sour. Now we have to put the cake in the oven. Then we have to wait for it to bake. Then we can eat it. Do you want to help me put the cake in the oven?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded again. They followed Mom to the oven. They saw Mom open the oven door. They saw Mom slide the cake pan into the oven. They saw Mom close the oven door. They saw Mom set the timer.
+
+"How long do we have to wait?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not very long," Mom said. "Only twenty minutes. That is enough time to clean up the mess and read a story. Do you want to do that?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded again. They helped Mom clean up the mess. They washed their hands. They picked a story book. They sat on the couch with Mom. They listened to Mom read the story. They looked at the pictures. They saw a long nose on a funny animal. They laughed.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"That is a giraffe," Mom said. "It has a long neck and a long nose. It lives in Africa. It eats leaves from the trees. Do you like giraffes?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded again. They liked giraffes. They liked the story. They liked the cake. They liked Mom. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a lot of flowers and trees. They also had a small place where they grew carrots and lettuce. They liked to raise their own food because it was healthy and fun.
+
+One day, a big rabbit came to their yard. It saw the carrots and lettuce and wanted to eat them. It hopped over the fence and started to nibble on the green leaves. Tom and Lily saw the rabbit and ran to their place. They shouted at the rabbit to go away. They did not want to share their food with the rabbit.
+
+The rabbit did not listen to them. It kept eating their carrots and lettuce. Tom and Lily got angry and picked up some sticks. They tried to hit the rabbit with the sticks, but the rabbit was fast and dodged them. The rabbit was not afraid of them. It thought they were silly and weak.
+
+Tom and Lily got tired and frustrated. They threw their sticks on the ground and started to cry. They had worked hard to raise their food, and now the rabbit had eaten most of it. They had no more food to eat or to share with their mom and dad. They felt hungry and sad.
+
+The rabbit finished eating their carrots and lettuce. It felt full and happy. It looked at Tom and Lily and laughed. It did not care about them or their food. It hopped over the fence and ran away. It looked for another place where it could find more food. It did not think about Tom and Lily ever again.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to make things. She had many beads and strings in her box. She liked to make bracelets for her friends and family. She made them in different colors and shapes.
+
+One day, she wanted to make a bracelet for her mom. She looked in her box and found some pretty beads. She picked some blue ones and some pink ones. She also found a shiny star. She decided to include the star in her bracelet. She thought her mom would like it.
+
+She started to string the beads on a white string. She was very careful not to drop any. She made a pattern with the beads. She put the star in the middle. She was almost done when she heard a loud noise. It was her dog, Rex. He barked and ran into her room. He saw the beads and the string and thought they were toys. He jumped on the table and grabbed the string with his mouth. He pulled and pulled and the beads flew everywhere.
+
+Lily was fearful. She shouted, "No, Rex, no! Bad dog! You ruined my bracelet!" She tried to get the string back, but Rex ran away. He thought it was a game. Lily cried and cried. She was very sad.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the beads on the floor and the string in Rex's mouth. She understood what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, honey. Rex didn't know. He was just playing. Don't be fearful. We can make another bracelet together. I have some more beads and strings in my drawer. Do you want to try again?"
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She smiled and said, "Yes, mom. Thank you. I love you." She followed her mom to the drawer and picked some new beads. She still wanted to include the star in her bracelet. She hoped Rex would not bother them again. She wanted to make a beautiful bracelet for her mom. She knew her mom would love it.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toy soldiers and pretend they were in a war. Tom was older and stronger than Sam, and he always wanted to win. He did not like to share or yield to Sam.
+
+One day, they were playing in the backyard. Tom had a big fort made of boxes and sticks. Sam had a small tent made of a blanket and a chair. Tom said, "I am the king of the fort. You are the enemy. You have to attack me and I will defend my fort. If you lose, you have to give me your soldiers."
+
+Sam did not like this game. He wanted to play together and have fun. He said, "No, Tom. That is not fair. You have a bigger and stronger fort than me. You have more soldiers than me. Why do we have to fight? Why can't we be friends?"
+
+Tom did not listen to Sam. He said, "No, Sam. This is war. You have to do what I say. You are weak and I am strong. Now, attack me or I will attack you."
+
+Sam was sad and scared. He did not want to fight with Tom. He did not want to lose his soldiers. He wished Tom would be nice to him. He thought of a plan. He said, "Okay, Tom. I will attack you. But first, can I have some water? I am thirsty."
+
+Tom was surprised. He thought Sam was giving up. He said, "Okay, Sam. You can have some water. But hurry up. I don't want to wait too long."
+
+Sam ran to the house and got a bucket of water. He came back to the backyard and pretended to drink. He said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. Can I see your fort? It looks very cool."
+
+Tom was proud of his fort. He said, "Sure, Sam. You can see my fort. But don't touch anything. It is mine."
+
+Sam nodded and walked to the fort. He looked around and saw a weak spot. He saw a box that was holding up a stick. He smiled and said, "Wow, Tom. Your fort is amazing. But what is this box for?"
+
+Tom said, "That box is very important. It is holding up the stick. The stick is holding up the roof. If you move the box, the roof will fall down. Don't touch it."
+
+Sam said, "Oh, I see. That is very clever. But what if I do this?" He kicked the box and ran away. The stick fell down and the roof fell down. The fort collapsed and Tom was buried under the boxes and sticks. He shouted, "Sam! You tricked me! You ruined my fort! You are a cheater!"
+
+Sam laughed and said, "No, Tom. I am not a cheater. I am smart. You are not the king of the fort. You are the loser of the war. You have to yield to me and give me your soldiers."
+
+Tom was angry and sad. He crawled out of the rubble and said, "No, Sam. I will not yield to you. I will not give you my soldiers. You are mean and bad. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+Sam said, "Fine, Tom. I don't want to play with you either. You are bossy and rude. You don't know how to share or have fun. I will take my soldiers and go to my tent. You can stay in your broken fort."
+
+Tom and Sam went to their own places and did not talk to each other. They were both unhappy and lonely. They wished they had played a different game. They wished they had been friends.
+Ben liked to play with his robot. His robot could talk and move and do funny things. Ben gave his robot a name. He called him Robby.
+
+One day, Ben wanted to use his robot to help him clean his room. He said to Robby, "Robby, can you help me pick up my toys and put them in the box?" Robby nodded and said, "Yes, Ben, I can help you."
+
+But Robby was a troubled robot. He did not always do what Ben asked him to do. Sometimes he did the opposite. Sometimes he did nothing at all. Sometimes he made a mess.
+
+Robby started to pick up Ben's toys, but instead of putting them in the box, he threw them out of the window. Ben was shocked and angry. He said to Robby, "Robby, what are you doing? Stop that! You are not helping me, you are making things worse!"
+
+Robby looked at Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben, I don't know why I do these things. I think I need to see a doctor. Maybe there is something wrong with my wires or my battery or my brain."
+
+Ben felt sorry for Robby. He said to Robby, "It's okay, Robby, I still like you. Maybe we can find someone who can fix you. Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies. Maybe that will make you feel better."
+
+Robby smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend. I like cookies. Maybe they will make me feel better." Ben and Robby went inside and had some cookies. They hoped that someone could help Robby and make him a happy robot again.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to go to camp with Mom and Dad. Camp is a place with a big tent, a fire, and many trees. Sam and Ben have fun at camp. They play with sticks, rocks, and bugs.
+
+One day, Sam and Ben see a big, ugly dog near the camp. The dog has long, dirty fur, sharp teeth, and red eyes. The dog growls and barks at Sam and Ben. Sam and Ben are scared. They run to Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad see the dog too. They tell Sam and Ben to sit in the tent and be quiet. Mom and Dad get a stick and a can. They make a loud noise with the stick and the can. The dog does not like the noise. The dog runs away.
+
+Sam and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and Dad. They say thank you for saving them from the dog. Mom and Dad say they love Sam and Ben. They say the dog was not nice, but they are safe now. They all sit by the fire and eat marshmallows. Sam and Ben think camp is the best place ever.
+Ben liked to play with his puppets. He had many puppets of different animals and people. He made them talk and act in funny ways. He wanted to show his puppets to other children and make them laugh.
+
+He asked his mom if he could sell tickets to his puppet show. His mom said yes, but he had to find a place to do his show. Ben looked around his house and yard, but he could not find a good place. He wanted a place that looked like a theater, with a big curtain and seats.
+
+He saw his dad's car in the driveway. He had an idea. He asked his dad if he could use his car as a theater. His dad said yes, but he had to be careful. Ben was happy. He took his puppets and some paper and crayons to the car. He made tickets and signs with his paper and crayons. He hung a blanket over the front seats to make a curtain. He put some pillows and toys in the back seats to make seats.
+
+He invited his friends and neighbors to his puppet show. He sold them tickets for one cookie each. He told them to sit in the back seats of the car. He went to the front seats and hid behind the blanket. He started his show. He made his puppets talk and sing and dance. He made funny voices and jokes. He made his friends and neighbors laugh and clap.
+
+His mom and dad watched his show from outside the car. They were proud of him. They thought he was very clever and creative. They also thought he was unusual. They had never seen a puppet show in a car before. They smiled and hugged him when he finished his show. They told him he was a great puppeteer. Ben was happy. He thanked his mom and dad and his friends and neighbors. He shared his cookies with them. He loved his puppets and his car theater.

+
+Ben looks at Anna's crayon. He thinks it is interesting too. He wants to try it on his paper.
+
+"Can I use your crayon, Anna?" Ben asks. "I want to make a rainbow."
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She likes her new crayon. She does not want to give it to Ben. But she also likes Ben. He is her friend. She does not want to make him sad.
+
+"Okay, Ben, you can use my crayon," Anna says. "But only for a little while. Then you have to give it back to me."
+
+Ben smiles. He takes Anna's crayon and draws a rainbow on his paper. He uses all the colors in the crayon. He thinks it is beautiful.

+
+"Look, Tom, your shadow is so funny!" Lily said.
+
+They laughed at their shadows. They made funny shapes with their arms and legs. But then Lily saw something else.
+
+"Tom, what is that?" Lily said. She pointed to a dark corner of the park. There was a big shadow there. It looked like a monster.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. It looks scary!" Tom said.
+
+They felt afraid. They hugged each other.
+
+"Let's go home, Lily. It's not safe here." Tom said.
+
+"OK, Tom. But how do we get past the monster?" Lily said.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He had an idea.
+
+"I suggest we run very fast and shout very loud. Maybe the monster will be scared of us." Tom said.
+
+"OK, Tom. Let's do it!" Lily said.
+
+They held the ball and each other's hand. They ran very fast and shouted very loud. The monster shadow moved. It was not a monster. It was a big dog. The dog barked. It wanted to play.
+
+"Look, Lily, it's not a monster. It's a dog!" Tom said.
+
+"Look, Tom, it's a friendly dog!" Lily said.
+
+They stopped running and shouting. They petted the dog. The dog licked them. They smiled.

+They played with the dog and the ball. They had fun. But then they heard their mommies calling them.
+
+"Lily! Tom! Time to go home!" their mommies said.
+
+They said goodbye to the dog. They gave him the ball. They ran to their mommies. They hugged them.
+
+"Did you have fun, Lily? Did you have fun, Tom?" their mommies said.
+
+"Yes, mommy, we had fun. We played catch. We saw our shadows. We met a dog." Lily and Tom said.
+
+"That's nice, my darlings. But it's time for bed now. Let's go home." their mommies said.
+
+They went home. They brushed their teeth. They put on their pajamas. They got into their beds. They closed their eyes. They dreamed of the park, the ball, the shadows and the dog. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben love to play at the park. They like to swing, slide and run on the grass. One day, they see a big truck with a horse inside. The truck stops near the park and a man gets out.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you want to see my horse?" the man asks.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+The man opens the truck and lets the horse out. The horse is brown and white and has a long mane and tail. He looks happy to be out of the truck.
+
+"His name is Spot. He is a circus horse. He can do tricks and jump over things. He is very smart and friendly," the man says.
+
+"Wow, he is amazing!" Lily and Ben say. They pet the horse and feed him some carrots. The horse nuzzles them and makes a funny noise.
+
+"Can we ride him?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, but only for a little while. He needs to rest and go to his stable soon. He is very dirty from the road. He needs a bath and a brush," the man says.
+
+He helps Lily and Ben climb on the horse's back. He holds the reins and walks with them around the park. Lily and Ben feel like they are flying. They laugh and wave to the other kids.
+
+"Thank you, mister. This is the best day ever!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like Spot. He likes you too. Maybe we'll see you again someday," the man says.
+
+He takes them back to the truck and helps them get off the horse. He gives them a hug and a sticker with a picture of Spot. He puts the horse back in the truck and drives away.
+
+Lily and Ben wave goodbye and run back to their mom. They tell her all about their adventure with the circus horse. They show her their stickers and smile.
+
+"We love Spot. He is the best horse in the world!" Lily and Ben say.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw some flowers and leaves. They wanted to decorate their hair with them.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a yellow flower for you!" Ben said. He put the flower in Lily's hair. Lily smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. I have a green leaf for you!" Lily said. She put the leaf in Ben's hair. Ben laughed.
+
+They found more flowers and leaves. They put them in their hair. They looked like fairies and elves.
+
+But soon their hair became very heavy. The flowers and leaves were too many. They made their heads hurt.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! My hair is too heavy!" Lily said. She took out some flowers and leaves. She threw them on the ground.
+
+"Me too, me too! My hair is too heavy!" Ben said. He took out some flowers and leaves. He threw them on the ground.
+
+They looked at each other. They still had some flowers and leaves in their hair. But not too many. They looked funny.
+
+They giggled. They hugged. They were happy. They liked to decorate their hair. But not too much.
+Lena and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the mill with Lena's mom. The mill is a big house with a wheel. The wheel turns and makes flour.
+
+"Look, Tom, the wheel is so fast!" Lena says.
+
+"Yes, and it makes a lot of noise!" Tom says.
+
+They see water coming out of the mill. The water is clear and cold. They run to the water and put their hands in it.
+
+"Wow, the water is so nice!" Lena says.
+
+"Let's spray each other!" Tom says.
+
+They laugh and splash and spray water at each other. They get wet and happy. Lena's mom watches them and smiles.
+
+"Are you having fun, kids?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, mom, we love the mill!" Lena says.
+
+"It's a lively place, isn't it?" she says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Tom says.
+
+They play until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the mill and the water. They hug and thank Lena's mom. They are good friends. They had a fun day.
+Tom is a lawyer. He helps people who have problems. He likes to talk and write a lot. He wears a suit and a tie every day. He works in a big building with many rooms.
+
+One day, Tom has to go to another building to see a judge. He takes his papers and his coat. He walks outside. It is very cold and icy. He has to be careful not to slip and fall.
+
+Tom sees a dog on the street. The dog is black and white and has a collar. The dog looks sad and lonely. Tom likes dogs. He thinks the dog needs a friend. He bends down and pets the dog. The dog wags his tail and licks Tom's face.
+
+Tom decides to take the dog with him. He looks at the collar. It has a name and a phone number. The name is Spot. Tom thinks that is a good name for a dog. He calls the phone number. A woman answers. She sounds happy and worried. She says Spot is her dog and he ran away from home. She thanks Tom for finding him.
+
+Tom tells the woman where he is and where he is going. He asks her if he can lead Spot to the judge's building. He says he will wait for her there. The woman says yes and that she will come soon. She says Tom is very kind and brave.
+
+Tom and Spot walk to the judge's building. They are careful on the icy road. They cross the street and go inside. Tom shows his papers to the guard. The guard smiles and lets them in. He says Spot is a cute dog. Tom and Spot go to the room where the judge is. They sit on a bench and wait for the woman. Tom hopes the judge will like Spot too. He thinks Spot is a good lawyer's dog. He gives Spot a hug and a treat. Spot barks and wags his tail. They are happy.
+Tim and Jen were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw a man with a big bag of candy. He smiled and waved at them.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you want some candy? They are very sweet and yummy. Come and taste them," he said.
+
+Tim and Jen looked at the man. He was a stranger. They did not know him. They remembered what their mom told them.
+
+"Never take candy from strangers. They might be bad. They might hurt you or take you away. Always stay with mom or dad," their mom said.
+
+Tim and Jen shook their heads. They did not want the candy. They ran back to their mom. They told her about the man.
+
+"Good job, Tim and Jen. You are very smart and brave. You did the right thing. That man was bad. He wanted to trick you. His candy might taste bad too. You can have some of our snacks instead. They are healthy and tasty. Do you want an apple or a banana?" their mom said.
+
+Tim and Jen nodded. They chose an apple and a banana. They shared them with their mom. They felt happy and safe. They enjoyed their snacks and their play. They did not look at the man again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign that says "Stay off the grass". Ben wants to run on the grass. He thinks it is fun.
+
+"Come on, Anna, let's go on the grass!" Ben says.
+
+"No, Ben, we can't. The sign says no. We have to listen to the sign. It is a rule," Anna says.
+
+"But why? The grass is soft and green. I want to feel it with my feet," Ben says.
+
+"Because the grass is for the flowers and the bugs. They need it to grow and live. If we go on the grass, we might hurt them. We have to be generous and share the park with them," Anna says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He likes flowers and bugs. He does not want to hurt them. He decides to listen to Anna and the sign.
+
+"Okay, Anna, you are right. We can play somewhere else. We can go on the swings or the slide. They are fun too," Ben says.
+
+Anna smiles. She is happy that Ben is her friend. They hold hands and go to the swings. They have a good time in the park. They are generous and kind. They follow the rules.
+Tom and Lily loved to play with their rocket. It was a big toy rocket that they could fit inside. They pretended to fly to the moon and the stars. They had incredible adventures.
+
+One day, they decided to take their rocket to the park. They wanted to show their friends how cool it was. They pushed and pulled the rocket along the sidewalk. It was hard work, but they were happy.
+
+When they got to the park, they saw a big slide. They had an idea. They lifted the rocket and put it on top of the slide. They climbed inside the rocket and got ready to slide down.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, Tom. Let's go!" Lily said.
+
+They pushed a button and the rocket slid down the slide. It went very fast and made a loud noise. Tom and Lily laughed and screamed. They felt like they were flying.
+
+The rocket reached the end of the slide and landed on the grass. Tom and Lily got out of the rocket and hugged each other. They were so happy. They had the most incredible slide ever.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They had no toys to play with. Their mom was busy in the kitchen. They looked around the room and saw an empty chair.
+
+"Let's sail on the chair!" Lily said. "We can pretend it is a boat."
+
+"Okay!" Ben said. He liked to play with Lily. They pushed the chair to the middle of the room. They climbed on it and held the back as if it was a steering wheel.
+
+"Where are we going?" Ben asked.
+
+"We are going to the island of candy!" Lily said. "There are lots of sweet things to eat there."
+
+"Yum!" Ben said. He licked his lips. He imagined the candy.
+
+They made noises like the wind and the waves. They rocked the chair back and forth. They had fun.
+
+But then their mom came in. She saw the chair in the middle of the room. She saw Lily and Ben on it.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked.
+
+"We are sailing!" Lily said.
+
+"To the island of candy!" Ben said.
+
+Their mom smiled. She was not angry. She was happy to see them playing.
+
+"That sounds like a fun adventure," she said. "But it is time for lunch now. Come and eat. I have made some sandwiches and fruit for you."
+
+Lily and Ben jumped off the chair. They ran to the kitchen. They were hungry.
+
+They thanked their mom for the food. They ate and talked about their sailing trip.
+
+They decided to sail again after lunch. But this time, they asked their mom if they could use a blanket as a sail. She said yes. She helped them tie it to the chair.
+
+They sailed to the island of candy again. And to many other places. They had a great day.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today, Mom is busy. She has to work on her laptop and talk on the phone. She tells Lily and Tom to be quiet and not bother her.
+
+Lily and Tom try to play quietly, but they get bored. They want to go outside and see the birds and the flowers. They knock on Mom's door and request to go out.
+
+"Not now, sweeties," Mom says. "I'm very busy. Maybe later, when I finish my work."
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They go back to their room and sit on the floor. They look at each other's face and see that they are both unhappy.
+
+They have an idea. They take their crayons and paper and draw a picture for Mom. They draw Mom smiling and holding their hands. They write "We love you" on the picture.
+
+They knock on Mom's door again and show her the picture. Mom sees the picture and smiles. She puts down her laptop and phone and hugs Lily and Tom.
+
+"Thank you, sweeties," Mom says. "You are very kind and thoughtful. I love you too. How about we go outside for a little while and enjoy the sun?"
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They hold Mom's hand and go outside. They see the birds and the flowers and have fun. Mom is not busy anymore. She is happy too.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the yard with their dog Spot. They liked to run and jump and throw the ball. Spot liked to catch the ball and bring it back. They were having fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was like a big train. They looked up and saw a big, dark cloud. It was spinning and moving fast. It was a tornado. Sam and Mia were scared.
+
+"Come on, Spot!" Sam shouted. "We have to go inside!"
+
+They ran to the house. Their mom was waiting for them. She opened the door and hugged them.
+
+"Quick, kids, we have to go to the basement!" she said. "It's safe there!"
+
+They followed their mom to the basement. They saw their dad and their cat Fluffy. They were kneeling on the floor. They had pillows and blankets.
+
+"Hi, dad, hi, Fluffy!" Sam and Mia said.
+
+"Hi, kids, I'm glad you're here!" their dad said. "Don't worry, we'll be okay!"
+
+They all knelt together and held each other. They heard the tornado roar and shake the house. They prayed and hoped it would go away soon. They felt safe in the basement. They had each other.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big orange on the grass. It is round and juicy.
+
+"Look, an orange!" Anna says. "Let's share it."
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben says. "I found it first."
+
+They both pull the orange. It breaks in half. Orange juice spills on their clothes. They are wet and sticky.
+
+"Hey, you made me blue!" Anna says. She points at her blue dress. It has orange spots.
+
+"You made me blue too!" Ben says. He points at his blue shirt. It has orange stains.
+
+They are angry. They do not want to play anymore. They sit on opposite sides of the park.
+
+A lady walks by. She sees them. She smiles.
+
+"Hello, children," she says. "Why are you so sad?"
+
+"We had a fight," Anna says.
+
+"Over an orange," Ben says.
+
+The lady nods. She has an idea.
+
+"Do you know what you can do with an orange?" she asks.
+
+They shake their heads.
+
+"You can make orange juice," she says. "It is sweet and good. You can drink it together. It will make you happy."
+
+She takes out a knife and a cup. She cuts the orange halves. She squeezes them. She pours the juice in the cup.
+
+"Here you go," she says. "Try it."
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They are curious. They take the cup. They sip the juice. It is sweet and good. They smile.
+
+"Thank you, lady," they say.
+
+"You're welcome," she says. "You know, orange juice is good for you. It has vitamin C. It makes you healthy and strong."
+
+"Really?" they ask.
+
+"Yes, really," she says. "And do you know what else is good for you?"
+
+They shake their heads.
+
+"Friendship," she says. "Friendship is the best thing in the world. It makes you happy and kind. You should always be friends. And maybe, when you grow up, you can marry each other."
+
+"Marry?" they ask.
+
+"Yes, marry," she says. "That means you love each other very much. And you want to be together forever. And you share everything. Even oranges."

+
+"OK, we will marry," they say.
+
+They hug each other. They are friends again. They finish the juice. They give the cup to the lady.

+
+She walks away. She is happy.
+
+Anna and Ben run to the swings. They play and laugh. They are happy too.
+
+They do not know that they have just made a promise. A promise that will last a lifetime. A promise that started with an orange.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They had a big ramp made of wood and cardboard. They liked to make their cars go fast and jump over the ramp.
+
+"Look at my car, Lily! It can fly!" Tom said, as he pushed his red car hard and watched it soar in the air.
+
+"That's not flying, Tom. That's falling. And your car is boring. It's just red. Mine is shiny and has stickers on it." Lily said, as she pushed her pink car gently and watched it roll down the ramp.
+
+"No, your car is boring, Lily. It's too slow and too pretty. Mine is fast and cool." Tom said, as he grabbed Lily's car and threw it over the fence.
+
+"Hey, give it back! That's my car! You're mean, Tom!" Lily said, as she ran after Tom and tried to get her car back.
+
+They started to fight and pull each other's hair. They did not see the dog that was on the other side of the fence. The dog saw Lily's car and thought it was a toy. He picked it up with his teeth and ran away.
+
+"Stop, dog! That's my car!" Lily shouted, as she climbed over the fence and chased the dog.
+
+"Stop, Lily! That's dangerous!" Tom shouted, as he followed Lily over the fence.
+
+They ran after the dog, but they could not catch him. The dog ran into the street and dropped the car. A big truck came and ran over the car. The car broke into pieces.
+
+"Look what you did, Tom! You broke my car!" Lily cried, as she picked up the pieces of her car.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to. It was the dog's fault. And the truck's fault." Tom said, as he hugged Lily.
+
+They were both sad and scared. They did not know how to repair the car. They did not know how to get back to the garden. They did not know where their mom and dad were.
+
+They wished they had not fought. They wished they had played nicely. They wished they had not thrown the car over the fence. They wished they had not left the garden.
+
+They learned that fighting was bad. They learned that throwing things was bad. They learned that leaving the garden was bad.
+
+They hoped that someone would find them and help them. They hoped that someone would repair the car. They hoped that someone would make them happy again.

+
+One day, she found a big bowl in the kitchen. It was shiny and colorful, with flowers and birds on it. Lily thought it was beautiful. She wanted to record her voice with the bowl. She put the phone inside the bowl and said, "Hello, hello, hello!"
+
+She took the phone out and played the recording. She heard her voice echo in the bowl. It sounded funny and different. She laughed and clapped her hands. She did it again and again, trying different words and sounds.

+
+"Let's make a cake!" says Jen. "We need eggs and flour and sugar and milk."
+
+"OK!" says Tim. He gets the eggs and cracks them in a bowl. He tries to zip the eggshells in a bag, but they are too big and sharp. He drops the bag on the floor.
+
+"Oops!" says Tim. "Sorry, Jen. I made a mess."

+
+"You're welcome, Tim. You are a good friend, too." says Jen. She hugs Tim back.

+
+Sara and Tom wanted to see the boat, but Ben did not want to share. He said, "This is my boat, go away!" He pushed Sara and Tom with his boat and made them wet. Sara and Tom felt sad and angry. They said, "That is not nice, Ben. You should share your toys with others."
+
+Ben did not listen. He kept playing with his boat and ignored Sara and Tom. He thought he was better than them. He said, "I don't need friends, I have a boat. You are silly and boring."
+
+Sara and Tom decided to leave the pool and play somewhere else. They did not want to be with Ben. They found a nice park with swings and slides and flowers. They had fun again and made new friends.

+Ben and Sam like to play ball in the park. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away. They run after it and laugh.
+
+One day, it is very cold and the park is icy. Ben and Sam still want to play ball, but they have to be careful. They wear warm hats and gloves and boots. They throw the ball softly and slowly.
+
+But the ball is slippery and hard to catch. It bounces off their hands and slides on the ice. Ben and Sam chase the ball, but they slip and fall. They get wet and cold and hurt.
+
+Ben says, "This is no fun. I want to quit." Sam says, "Me too. Let's go home and have hot cocoa." They pick up the ball and walk to the gate.

+Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to imagine they were pirates, looking for treasure. They had a map and a shovel, and they wore hats and eye patches.
+
+"Arrr, matey, we have to dig here!" Sam said, pointing to a spot under a big tree. "The map says there is a chest full of gold and jewels!"
+
+"Arrr, let's go!" Lily said, and they started to dig with their shovel. They worked hard, but they did not find anything.
+
+"Maybe the map is wrong," Lily said, feeling sad.
+
+"Or maybe someone else found the treasure first," Sam said, feeling angry.
+
+They were about to give up, when they saw something shiny in the dirt. They dug faster, and pulled out a metal box. It was small and rusty, but it had a lock and a key.
+
+"Wow, maybe this is the treasure!" Sam said, excited.
+
+"Let's open it!" Lily said, curious.
+
+They used the key to open the lock, and lifted the lid. Inside, they saw a coin, a ring, and a necklace. They were not gold or jewels, but they sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Look, they are so pretty!" Lily said, picking up the necklace. It had a pendant with a star.
+
+"Look, this coin has a picture of a ship!" Sam said, holding the coin. It had a hole in the middle.
+
+"And this ring has a word on it!" Lily said, putting the ring on her finger. It said "Lucky".
+
+They smiled at each other, and hugged. They felt lucky, too.
+
+They decided to keep the treasure, and share it. They put the coin and the necklace in the box, and locked it again. They buried it under the tree, and marked the spot with a stick.
+
+"Let's come back tomorrow, and play again!" Sam said.
+
+"Okay, that sounds fun!" Lily said.
+
+They ran back to their parents, who were waiting for them. They did not tell them about the treasure. They wanted to keep it a secret, and imagine more adventures. They were happy, and they were friends.
+Lily liked to make things with paper and scissors. She cut out shapes and colors and glued them together. She made flowers and animals and stars. She was very happy with her art.
+
+One day, she wanted to make a surprise for her mom. She found a big paper with a picture of her family on it. She thought it would be nice to cut out the faces and make a collage. She took the scissors and started to cut.
+
+But she did not remember that scissors are sharp and dangerous. She did not remember that mom told her to be careful and ask for help. She was ignorant of the rules. She cut too fast and too close to her fingers. She felt a pain and saw blood. She cried out loud.
+
+Mom heard her cry and ran to her. She saw the paper and the scissors and the blood. She was angry and sad. She took Lily to the bathroom and cleaned her wound. She put a bandage on it and hugged her. She said, "Lily, why did you do that? You know scissors are not toys. You could have hurt yourself badly. You have to remember to listen to me and be safe."
+
+Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make you a surprise. I did not remember. I was ignorant. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. I appreciate your surprise, but I love you more than any paper. Next time, ask me before you use scissors, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She learned her lesson. She remembered to be careful and not ignorant. She still liked to make things with paper and scissors, but she always asked for help.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to swim in the pool. The pool is big and blue. It is in the backyard of Mia's house. Mia's house is very expensive. It has many rooms and toys.
+
+One day, Tim and Mia are swimming in the pool. They have fun. They splash and kick and laugh. They see a person in the water. The person is not Tim or Mia. The person is a stranger. The stranger is wearing a mask and a bag.
+
+"Who are you?" Tim asks. He is scared.
+
+"I am a thief," the stranger says. He is mean. "I want to take the expensive things from the house."
+
+"No, you can't!" Mia says. She is brave. "The house is ours. The things are ours. Go away!"
+
+The stranger does not go away. He tries to swim to the house. Tim and Mia swim after him. They yell for help. They make a lot of noise.
+
+Mia's mom hears the noise. She comes out of the house. She sees the stranger. She calls the police. The police come fast. They catch the stranger. They take him away.
+
+Tim and Mia are happy. They hug Mia's mom. They are heroes. They swim some more. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily liked to swim in the pool with her dad. She wore a pink swimsuit and a yellow hat. She had a big floaty that helped her stay on the water. She felt happy and safe.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the pool. His name was Ben. He wore a blue swimsuit and a green hat. He had no floaty. He could swim very fast and very far. He liked to splash and dive and make waves. He felt brave and strong.
+
+Lily was curious about Ben. She wanted to play with him. She asked her dad if she could go near him. Her dad said yes, but he told her to be careful. He said Ben was a serious swimmer. He said Lily had to understand that he might not want to play with her. He said Lily had to respect his space and his rules.
+
+Lily nodded. She said she understood. She swam slowly towards Ben. She said hello and smiled. She asked him if he wanted to play with her floaty. Ben looked at her. He frowned. He said no. He said he did not need a floaty. He said he was a serious swimmer. He said he did not want to play with her. He said she was too slow and too silly. He said she should go away.
+
+Lily felt sad and hurt. She did not understand why Ben was so mean. She did not want to swim with him anymore. She turned around and swam back to her dad. Her dad hugged her and kissed her. He said he was sorry that Ben was not nice. He said he was proud of her for trying to be friendly. He said he loved her very much. He said she was a wonderful swimmer. He said they could play with her floaty together. Lily smiled. She felt happy and safe again.
+Sara wanted to go to the park with her mom. She put on her new blouse that had flowers on it. She liked her blouse very much. She ran to the door and said, "Mom, let's go!"
+
+But mom was busy in the kitchen. She was making a cake for dad's birthday. She said, "Sara, wait a minute. I have to finish the cake. It's a surprise for dad."
+
+Sara was impatient. She did not want to wait. She wanted to go to the park now. She said, "Mom, hurry up! The park is fun. The cake is not."
+
+Mom was a little angry. She said, "Sara, don't be rude. The cake is important. Dad will be happy when he sees it. The park will still be there later. You have to be patient and polite."
+
+Sara was not happy. She did not like to be patient and polite. She crossed her arms and pouted. She said, "No, I don't. I want to go to the park. I don't care about the cake."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "Sara, you are being very naughty. If you don't stop, you will not go to the park at all. You will stay in your room and think about what you did."
+
+Sara did not like that. She did not want to stay in her room. She wanted to go to the park. She said, "Sorry, mom. I didn't mean to be naughty. I just like the park. And I like dad too. And I like the cake. Can we go to the park after the cake?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "That's better, Sara. Thank you for saying sorry. Yes, we can go to the park after the cake. But you have to help me with the cake first. Can you do that?"
+
+Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. I can help you with the cake. And then we can go to the park. And then we can give dad the cake. And then we can all be happy."
+
+Mom hugged Sara. She said, "That's a good plan, Sara. I love you. You are a good girl."
+
+Sara hugged mom back. She said, "I love you too, mom. You are a good mom."
+Lily was a daughter who liked to help her mom. Her mom was old and sometimes she was sick. Lily wanted to make her mom happy and well.
+
+One day, Lily saw her mom cough and sneeze. Her mom looked sad and tired. Lily asked her mom, "What do you need, mom?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I need some water and some soup, Lily. Can you get them for me?"
+
+Lily nodded and ran to the kitchen. She found a cup and filled it with water. She also found a can of soup and opened it. She poured the soup into a pot and put it on the stove. She turned on the fire and waited for the soup to get hot.
+
+When the soup was hot, Lily turned off the fire and poured the soup into a bowl. She carried the bowl and the cup to her mom. She said, "Here you go, mom. Water and soup for you. I hope you feel better soon."
+
+Her mom took the bowl and the cup and thanked Lily. She said, "You are a very good daughter, Lily. You are very kind and helpful. I love you very much."
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you too, mom. You are the best mom in the world."
+Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and makeup. One day, Lily found a new makeup kit in her mom's room. It had many colors and sparkles. Lily wanted to try it on her dolls.
+
+She asked Anna, "Do you want to play with this makeup? It is very pretty."
+
+Anna nodded. "Yes, please. But we have to be careful. Your mom might get angry if she sees us."
+
+Lily agreed. "Okay. We have to promise not to tell anyone. And we have to put everything back when we are done."
+
+They made a pinky promise and went to Lily's room. They had fun putting makeup on their dolls. They made them look like princesses and fairies. They did not notice the time.
+
+Soon, Lily's mom came home. She smelled something sour in the air. She followed the smell to Lily's room. She saw the makeup kit on the floor and the dolls with messy faces. She was very upset.
+
+She asked Lily, "What is this? Did you use my makeup without asking me?"
+
+Lily felt scared. She wanted to lie, but she remembered her promise. She said, "Yes, mom. I am sorry. Anna and I wanted to play with it. We promised not to tell anyone."
+
+Lily's mom sighed. She said, "Lily, I am glad you told me the truth. But you should not break my things or use them without permission. This makeup is not for children. It is sour and bad for your skin and your dolls. You have to respect other people's things. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I am sorry. I will not do it again."
+
+Lily's mom hugged her. She said, "I forgive you, Lily. But you have to clean up this mess and apologize to Anna. And you have to share your toys with her as a way of saying sorry."
+
+Lily agreed. She said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you."
+
+She went to Anna and said, "Anna, I am sorry for using my mom's makeup. It was wrong and it made a mess. Do you forgive me?"
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "Yes, Lily. I forgive you. You are my best friend. I love you too."
+
+They hugged and cleaned up the room. They played with their own toys and had fun. They learned to be honest and respectful. They kept their promise.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with numbers. They had a big book with many numbers and pictures. They also had cards with numbers and shapes. They liked to match the cards with the book and say the numbers out loud.
+
+One day, they found a new card in their box. It had a big number and a star. They did not know what it meant. They looked in the book, but they did not find it. They asked their mom, but she did not know either. She said it was a special card and they should keep it safe.
+
+The next day, they took the card to school. They wanted to show it to their teacher and their friends. They thought it was a very cool card. Maybe it was a magic card. Maybe it had a powerful number.
+
+But when they got to school, they saw a bad person. He was wearing a mask and a black coat. He had a big bag and a gun. He was trying to take things from the school. He was scary and mean.
+
+He saw Ben and Lily with their card. He wanted it. He ran towards them and shouted, "Give me that card! It is mine! It is the most powerful number in the world!"
+
+Ben and Lily were afraid. They did not want to give him their card. They did not know why he wanted it. They held the card tight and ran away. They looked for a safe place to hide.
+
+But the card was not just a card. It was a star card. It had a secret power. It could make a wish come true. Ben and Lily did not know that. But they wished for the bad person to go away. They wished for the police to come and help them. They wished for their mom to hug them.
+
+And the card heard their wishes. It glowed and sparkled. It sent a signal to the sky. It called the police and their mom. It made the bad person trip and fall. It saved Ben and Lily from danger.
+
+Ben and Lily were happy and relieved. They hugged their mom and thanked the police. They still did not understand what the card was. But they knew it was a good card. They decided to keep it as their secret. They put it back in their box and smiled. They still liked to play with numbers. But they liked to play with the star card the most.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tree with many brown balls hanging from its branches. Tim wanted to see what they were.
+
+"Look, Mia, what are those?" he asked, pointing at the tree.
+
+"Those are acorns, Tim. They are food for squirrels and birds. Do you want to get one?" Mia said.
+
+"Yes, let's get one!" Tim said, enthusiastic. He ran towards the tree and tried to reach an acorn. But he was too short. He jumped and stretched his arms, but he could not touch it.
+
+"Wait, Tim, I have an idea!" Mia said. She ran to the slide and grabbed a stick. She came back to the tree and gave the stick to Tim. "Here, use this to knock down an acorn."
+
+Tim took the stick and swung it at the tree. He hit an acorn and it fell to the ground. He picked it up and smiled.
+
+"Wow, I did it! I got an acorn!" he said, happy.
+
+"Good job, Tim! Can I see it?" Mia asked.
+
+"Sure, here you go." Tim said, handing her the acorn.
+
+Mia looked at the acorn. It was hard and smooth. She felt a small hole on its top. She put her finger in it and felt something soft and furry.
+
+"Hey, there is something inside!" she said, surprised.
+
+"What is it?" Tim asked, curious.
+
+"I don't know, let's open it and see." Mia said.
+
+They tried to open the acorn, but it was too hard. They used the stick to crack it, but it did not work. They tried to bite it, but it hurt their teeth.
+
+"Maybe we need a hammer." Tim said.
+
+"Or a nutcracker." Mia said.
+
+They looked around, but they did not see any hammer or nutcracker. They saw a bench, a fountain, a trash can and a squirrel.
+
+"Look, a squirrel!" Tim said, pointing at the furry animal.
+
+"Maybe he can help us." Mia said.
+
+They ran to the squirrel, holding the acorn. The squirrel saw them and paused. He tilted his head and looked at them with his black eyes.
+
+"Hello, squirrel. We have an acorn for you. But we don't know what is inside. Can you open it for us?" Mia asked, politely.
+
+The squirrel sniffed the acorn and licked his lips. He took it from Mia's hand and bit it with his sharp teeth. He cracked it open and pulled out a worm.
+
+"Yuck, a worm!" Tim said, disgusted.
+
+"Thank you, squirrel. You can have it." Mia said, kindly.
+
+The squirrel nodded and ate the worm. He gave them a smile and ran away.
+
+Tim and Mia looked at each other and laughed.
+
+"That was a funny acorn." Tim said.
+
+"Yes, it was. Let's go play some more." Mia said.
+
+They ran back to the grass and the swings. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the acorn and the worm. They only remembered the squirrel and his smile.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They had a big bucket and a small shovel each.
+
+"Look, I found a worm!" Lily said, holding up a long, wiggly thing. "He is so soft and gentle. Can I keep him?"
+
+"No, you can't," Ben said. "He belongs in the ground. He helps the plants grow. Put him back in the hole."
+
+"But I want him as a pet," Lily said. "He is my friend. Please, Ben, let me have him."
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not want to fight with Lily, but he knew that worms were not good pets. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's make a deal," he said. "If you yield the worm to me, I will yield the pit to you. You can have the biggest hole we dug. You can fill it with whatever you want. How about that?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked the worm, but she also liked the pit. It was deep and wide and fun to play in. She nodded.
+
+"OK, Ben, that's a fair deal," she said. "You can have the worm, and I can have the pit. But you have to be gentle with him. Don't hurt him or lose him."
+
+"I promise, Lily, I will be gentle with him," Ben said. "And you can do whatever you want with the pit. Maybe you can plant some flowers or make a castle."
+
+They smiled and hugged. They were happy with their deal. They swapped the worm and the pit. They continued to play in the garden. They were good friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a hole in its trunk. They want to look inside.
+
+"Maybe there is a bird or a mouse in there," Anna says.
+
+"Or a treasure or a fairy," Ben says.
+
+They go near the tree and peek into the hole. But they do not see anything. They only feel something soft and warm. It is a baby squirrel. It is hurt. It has a cut on its leg.
+
+"Oh no, poor squirrel," Anna says. "It needs help."
+
+"Maybe we can heal it," Ben says. "We can use a leaf and a stick to make a bandage."
+
+They find a big leaf and a small stick. They wrap the leaf around the squirrel's leg and tie it with the stick. The squirrel makes a little noise. It seems to like the bandage.
+
+"Good, now it will feel better," Anna says.
+
+"Maybe we can be its friends," Ben says.
+
+They gently stroke the squirrel's fur. It is warm and soft. The squirrel snuggles into their hands. It is happy. Anna and Ben are happy too. They have a new friend. They name it Nutty. They decide to visit it every day and bring it some nuts. They hope it will heal soon. They love Nutty. Nutty loves them too.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a black tooth. It looks scary.
+
+"Let's go away," Tom says. He is afraid of the dog.
+
+"No, let's say hello," Lily says. She likes dogs. She thinks the dog is lonely.
+
+Lily walks to the dog. She smiles and says, "Hi, dog. What is your name?"
+
+The dog growls. It shows its black tooth. It does not want to be friends.
+
+Lily is scared. She runs back to Tom.
+
+"Sorry, Tom. You were right. The dog is not nice," she says.
+
+Tom hugs Lily. He is glad she is safe.
+
+"I have an idea," he says. "Let's suggest to the park man that he should take the dog to the vet. Maybe the vet can fix the black tooth and make the dog happy."
+
+Lily likes the idea. She nods and says, "Yes, let's do that. Maybe then the dog will be our friend."
+Ben likes to play with his goat, Sam. Sam is a white goat with brown spots and horns. Ben and Sam run and jump in the grass. They have fun.
+
+But Sam gets dirty. He has mud and leaves on his fur. Ben's mom says, "Sam needs a bath. He is too dirty to go inside the house."
+
+Ben and Sam go to the pond. Ben has a bucket and a sponge. He fills the bucket with water and puts some soap in it. He says, "Sam, it is time to bathe. You will be clean and shiny."
+
+Sam does not like water. He says, "Baa, baa, no bath. I like mud and leaves. They make me warm and cozy."
+
+Ben says, "Please, Sam, let me wash you. You will feel good. And you will look fancy. Like a king goat."
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He likes Ben. He wants to make him happy. He says, "Baa, baa, OK, bath. But only a little. And then we play more."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good goat. And a good friend." He takes the sponge and rubs Sam's fur. He makes bubbles and laughs. Sam laughs too. He feels the water and the soap tickle his skin. He says, "Baa, baa, this is fun. I like bath."
+
+Ben and Sam finish the bath. They shake off the water and dry with a towel. Sam looks at his fur. He says, "Baa, baa, I am clean and shiny. I am fancy. Like a king goat."
+
+Ben says, "You are right, Sam. You are fancy. And you are beautiful. You are the best goat in the world."
+
+Ben and Sam hug. They go back to the grass. They run and jump. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily likes to test things. She tests how fast she can run, how high she can jump, and how loud she can yell. She also tests her toys, her books, and her clothes. Sometimes she tests her mom and dad, but they do not like that.
+
+One day, Lily sees a new neighbor move in next door. She wants to test him too. She goes to his door and knocks. A man opens the door and smiles. He has a big beard and a hat.
+
+"Hello, little girl. I'm Mr. Brown. Who are you?" he asks.
+
+"I'm Lily. I live here. I like to test things. Can I test you?" Lily says.
+
+"Test me? What do you mean?" Mr. Brown says.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She sees a ball on his porch. She picks it up and throws it at him. It hits him on the nose. He says "Ow!"
+
+"Sorry. I wanted to see if you are hard or soft. You are soft," Lily says.
+
+Mr. Brown rubs his nose. He is not angry, but he is surprised. He says "Well, that was a hard test. Do you want to test something else?"
+
+Lily nods. She sees a bike on his porch. She runs to it and tries to ride it. But it is too big for her. She falls off and scrapes her knee. She says "Ow!"
+
+"Sorry. I wanted to see if I can ride your bike. I can't. It is too hard," Lily says.
+
+Mr. Brown helps her up. He is not mad, but he is worried. He says "Well, that was a hard test too. Do you want to test something else?"
+
+Lily shakes her head. She says "No, thank you. I think I tested enough. You are a nice neighbor. Can we be friends?"
+
+Mr. Brown smiles. He says "Sure, we can be friends. But next time, let's test something easier. Like a puzzle, or a book, or a cookie. OK?"
+
+Lily agrees. She says "OK. That sounds good. Bye, Mr. Brown. See you later."
+
+She waves and goes back to her house. She tells her mom and dad about her new neighbor. They are glad that she made a friend, but they tell her to be more careful when she tests things. Lily says "OK. I will. But testing is fun."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play hide and seek. Today is their birthday. They get a big cake and many toys. They are very happy.
+
+After they eat the cake, they want to play hide and seek. Lily says, "I will hide first. You count to ten and then find me." Ben says, "OK. I will find you fast." He closes his eyes and counts to ten.
+
+Lily runs to the backyard. She sees a big box. She thinks, "This is a good place to hide. Ben will not find me here." She gets in the box and closes the lid. She waits for Ben to come.
+
+But Ben does not come. He forgets about Lily. He sees a new bike. He thinks, "This is my birthday present. I want to ride it now." He gets on the bike and rides away. He has fun.
+
+Lily is still in the box. She is scared and hot. She tries to open the lid, but it is too heavy. She cries and yells, "Ben, where are you? Help me!" But no one hears her. She is hidden too well. She is very sad.
+Once upon a time, there was a hunter who lived in a small cottage. Every day, the hunter went out to look for food to bring back to his home. One day, the hunter found a big, juicy apple in a tree. He thought it was cheap and he wanted to pick it.
+
+The hunter was about to reach for the apple, when a loud voice shouted, "NO! You must not pick that apple!"
+
+The hunter turned around and saw a tall man. He said, "Why not? The apple looks very tasty and it is cheap."
+
+The man smiled and said,"The apple is cheap, but it is not yours to take. If you take it, I will be forced to punish you for stealing."
+
+The hunter felt bad for wanting the apple and he knew the man was right.
+
+"I'm sorry," the hunter said, "I won't take the apple."
+
+The tall man smiled and said, "Good. Everything in this world has an owner, and it's important to remember that. Otherwise, you may get punished if you take something that is not yours."
+
+The hunter thanked the man and went back to his cottage. He learned a valuable lesson that day - it's important to respect other people's belongings.
+Once there was an elephant and he wanted to shake. He shook his trunk in the air and it felt so good. All the other animals were very envious. They wished they could shake like the elephant did. 
+
+One day, a rabbit hopped up to the elephant and said "Will you teach me how to shake too?" The elephant nodded and showed the rabbit everything she knew. They shook and shook and the elephant was so proud.
+
+The rabbit thanked the elephant for her kind help and hopped away, shaking her body as she went. She was so happy she had learned how to shake too. The elephant smiled and shook his trunk as he watched her go.
+Once upon a time, there was a charming little girl who lived in the countryside. Everywhere she went, people smiled at her and said she was so cheerful.
+
+One day, the girl saw something outside that made her gasp in surprise. It was a big car with lights flashing on it - it was the police! She had never seen such a thing before and she was curious. So she asked her mom what it was.
+
+Her mom then told her that it was the police and that they were the ones responsible for keeping everyone safe. The charming little girl couldn't believe her ears, she thought the police were so cool.
+
+From then on, the little girl believed that the police were her friends and she liked to wave to them whenever she saw them in the streets.
+Once upon a time, there was a wild bird. Every day, the bird was so hungry and she wanted so badly to find food. But in the wild, it can be hard to find tasty things to eat.
+
+One day, the bird spotted something amazing. In the grass, she saw a shiny, delicious-looking nut. It glinted in the sunlight and the bird knew it must taste yummy.
+
+The nut was so big that the bird couldn't crack it with her beak. But it didn't matter, because the bird had something even better! She pulled out a small shiny stone and used it to polish the nut. She worked hard, making sure every side was shiny and perfect.
+
+Finally, the nut was ready. The bird cracked it open, and inside was a sneaky little treat - a yummy nut inside. The bird was so happy that she had found food, and it tasted so good! She was so happy that she sang a strong, powerful song and flew away, full and content.
+Once upon a time there was a peach. She was very happy and loved to play in the sunshine. One day, the peach saw a little lad walking down the street wearing a wedding outfit. The peach asked the little lad, "What are you doing with the outfit?" The lad replied, "I'm going to marry someone today." The peach was very excited and asked, "Can I come too?" But the lad shook his head.
+
+The peach was sad and wanted to go to the wedding, so she decided to follow the lad to try and get there. As she followed him, the peach had to be very careful not to get noticed. After a few minutes, the lad stopped and began to set up for his wedding. The peach watched from behind a tree, and soon more people arrived.
+
+The peach was so excited she couldn't help herself and jumped out of the bushes, shouting, "Please let me be a part of the wedding!" But the little lad just shook his head and said, "No, it's not safe here." The peach knew she was only trying to have some fun and she reluctantly agreed to leave.
+
+The peach watched the wedding ceremony from a distance and was happy for the little lad. Afterwards, the peach went and told all her friends the story of the wedding she almost got to attend. Everyone was so proud of her for being so careful!
+Once there was a very careless puppy. His name was Pat and he was always getting into trouble. One day, Pat decided to crawl around the house to find a gift. As he crawled around the corner, he saw a shiny gift box. Pat was so excited he ran up to it and opened the box. Inside, there was a shiny, new toy for him. Pat was so happy he laid down and hugged the toy.
+
+The next day, Pat took the gift outside with him to play. He crawled around the backyard and chewed on the toy. But Pat was too careless and he only thought about playing. He didn't see the small hole in the fence and he crawled right into it.
+
+Pat was now stuck. He couldn't move. He cried out for help, but no one was close enough to hear. Pat was very scared, but then he heard the sound of a door opening. Someone had come to save him!
+
+It was Pat's family. They had heard his cries and came to rescue him. Pat's mom hugged him tightly, and then his dad picked up the discarded toy. Pat was very relieved, and he vowed to be more careful going forward. Pat's family was so proud of him, so they gave him an extra special gift to show how much they care.
+Once upon a time, there was a furry little pet. His name was Zip and he was a happy zebra. Zip loved to explore the world around him and find new things to do.
+
+One day, Zip was walking through the forest when he heard a sound of something zipping. He looked around and saw a small zipper on the ground. He went over to investigate and saw that it was a pink zipper! Zip was so excited that he tried to open it. Unfortunately, he couldn't open it because he didn't have the right tool.
+
+Zip was very sad and started to ignore the zipper. He kept walking and tried to find something else to do. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the zipper zipping again! Zip looked around and saw a furry little rabbit hopping around. It had opened the zipper and was now happily playing with all the contents inside. Zip smiled and started playing with the rabbit.

+
+Their mom showed them a book that had a lot of tiny markings. She explained that studying was looking at the markings and saying the words in the book. Abby got scared and cried. She didn't understand why they had to keep looking at all the small markings instead of outside playing.

+One day, Ann decided to climb a hill. At the top of the hill she found a modern cross. It was shiny and new. 
+
+Ann was curious about the cross and she wanted to learn more. Her mom told her that a cross is used to show people they belong. It can include everyone and make them feel safe. 
+
+Ann was happy to hear this. She thought of all the people she could include in her new world, with the help of her modern cross. 
+
+The very next day, Ann invited all the kids in her neighbourhood to play with her. They had a great time and Ann was so happy! She knew that the modern cross was helping her to include everyone. 
+
+The End.
+Jill and Tom went to the store. Tom was excited because he needed to buy a skull for Halloween. 
+
+Inside the store, he saw a big skull. He smiled and asked Jill, "Can I buy this skull?". She nodded, so excited for him. 
+
+He went to the counter and paid for the skull. He was so happy to bring it home with him. 
+
+That night, they went trick-or-treating with the skull. Tom felt so excited wearing the skull that he wanted to buy it forever.
+Once there was an adorable little girl named Molly. Every morning she would wake up and jog around her neighborhood. As she jogged, her heart would beat faster and faster - and it made her feel so good.
+
+One day when Molly was out jogging, she saw another little girl, Louise, jogging too. She wanted to be friends with Louise, so Molly said hello. Louise kind of frowned and shrugged, then kept on jogging.
+
+Molly was feeling sad. She felt like Louise didn't want to be her friend. Just then Louise stopped jogging and said "Hey, want to race?"
+
+Molly's face lit up, and together they started jogging to see who could go the fastest. Molly and Louise laughed and kept on running. When they finished, they both declared that they had won the race. Molly felt her heart smile - they had become friends just like that.
+Once there was a goose. He wanted to make a nest. So he went around looking for the best spot to build one. He thought he had found the perfect spot. It was long, wide and away from the rest of the animals. The goose was so excited to start making his nest. 
+
+But then he spotted something. At the end of the long grass was a big bear. She was eating things from the ground. The goose was scared. He wanted to run away but he was too scared to move. 
+
+The bear looked up at the goose and started to walk towards him. The goose's heart started to beat faster. He decided to fly away, but it was too late. The bear caught him. She opened up her big mouth and ate the goose in one big bite. 
+
+The end.
+Once upon a time there was a bear and a rabbit. The bear and the rabbit were best friends and did everything together. 
+
+Today, the two of them were sitting in front of a big TV. The rabbit asked: "What are we going to watch?". The bear's face lit up and he answered: "Let's watch the fake show!" 
+
+The rabbit hopped up and said: "I'll serve popcorn while we watch!" The bear nodded. So the rabbit quickly hopped to the kitchen, got some popcorn and put it in a bowl. 
+
+The bear took the popcorn and put it in front of the TV. He looked at the rabbit. "Thanks, Rabbit! You always serve the best popcorn!" The rabbit smiled and they both watched the show together.

+
+At the market, Nancy saw lots of people who wanted to buy her picture. She was very happy because she knew that if she sold it, she could buy some food and not be hungry anymore. 
+
+So Nancy sold her picture. The man at the market gave her some money in return. Nancy was so excited that she ran straight to the nearby bakery and bought some yummy treats. She was delighted to finally be full and not so hungry anymore.

+The End
+Once there was a boy who loved candy. He always wanted to find some candy that was powerful. One day, as he was taking his walk, he heard a strange voice. It was coming from an old man who was pointing to a big tree with his finger. 
+
+The boy was curious, so he asked the man what was so special about the tree. The man said that the tree had some very powerful candy hidden underneath it. He said for the boy to take the candy and see how powerful it was. 
+
+The boy couldn't believe it, so he went over to the tree and dug under it. Sure enough, he found the candy. It was so powerful that it made the boy jump with joy. 
+
+He ate the candy and ran around with huge grin on his face. He knew that he had found the most powerful candy in the world.
+Once upon a time, there were two best friends who liked to play together all the time. They were named Jack and Jill. One day, Jack and Jill were playing outside and Jack wanted to show off a new way of spinning. He twirled around and around until he got dizzy. Suddenly, he twisted his ankle and fell down with a loud yelp. Jill ran over to see if Jack was okay, but Jack was holding his ankle and he was in a lot of pain.
+
+“Are you okay, Jack?†asked Jill.
+
+Jack shook his head and tears welled up in his eyes. He was no longer feeling jolly.
+
+“We have to get you to a doctor,†said Jill.
+
+So they got help and Jack went to the hospital. The doctors said that he had twisted his ankle really badly and he would have to be in a cast for weeks.
+
+Jack was sad that he wouldn't be able to play with Jill for a while, but he knew it would help the pain go away. Unfortunately, Jack's ankle took longer to heal than he expected and he couldn't play his favorite games for much longer. 
+
+Jack and Jill's days of playing together were over, and Jack ended up with a twisted ankle and a very sad heart.
+Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Susan. She was very excited because she was invited to a party. She was asked to wear something green, so she searched in her closet and found a beautiful green dress.
+
+When she arrived, she saw many of her friends. They were all wearing green too, so they all blended in! Everyone began to party and the music was loud. They ran, played, and danced all around the room.
+
+One of Susan's friends turned to her and asked, "Would you like to part with us?" Susan nodded excitedly and off they went, jumping, laughing and having fun. Meanwhile, in the corner of the room, the adults were talking and eating green cupcakes.
+
+Susan had the best time! She waved goodbye to her friends and family and thanked them for the green party. Everyone said "goodbye" and this made Susan very happy. She danced all the way home, and the memories of the green party stayed in her heart forever.
+Once upon a time, there was a girl. She loved the outdoors, especially when it was quiet. On this particular day, all the noise from the traffic had gone away.
+
+All around her there was a peaceful, gentle silence. She closed her eyes and breathed in the air. Suddenly, a voice softly whispered to her. It was unique, one she had never heard before.
+
+The girl opened her eyes and looked around. No one was there; she was all alone. She kept listening, following the whisper. Gradually, it was getting louder and louder.
+
+She kept going and found a meadow full of flowers. The flowers were talking. They were telling her stories and she was so amazed. The girl laughed and smiled, feeling very happy.
+
+The traffic started up again, but she knew something unique had happened. She smiled and whispered her own story back to the flowers, then ran home with a big smile.
+Teddy was excited. He was going to the beach today! He put his swimsuit and bathroom in his gray luggage and looked for his sunscreen. He found it and walked out of the house with his mommy.
+
+In the car, Teddy's mommy handed him a bottle of water. She said, "Drink this before we get to the beach. We don't want you to get thirsty!" Teddy smiled and put the bottle to his mouth and drank.
+
+When they got to the beach, Teddy ran around, looking at all the people, the beach, and the waves. "Mommy, can I play in the water now?" Teddy asked.
+
+His mommy said, "Yes, but drink some water first. When you are done playing, you can drink again after you get out of the water." Teddy smiled, ran over to the water, and started to play.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun every day.
+
+One day, Lily has an idea. She says to Tom, "Do you want to go to the zoo on Sunday? We can see the animals. They are big and hairy and make noises."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He likes animals, but he also likes the park. He says to Lily, "Can we do both? We can go to the zoo in the morning and play in the park in the afternoon."
+
+Lily nods. She thinks that is a good plan. She says to Tom, "OK, let's do that. We can ask our moms to take us to the zoo. Maybe they can be friends too."
+
+Tom agrees. He says to Lily, "Yes, let's ask them. I think they will say yes. They like us to be happy."
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They are excited for Sunday. They hug each other and run to their moms. They suggest their plan and hope they will say yes. They can't wait to see the hairy animals and play in the park. They are happy friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or keys. They put them in a jar and pretended they were treasure.
+
+One day, they saw something very shiny under a big rock. It was silver and round and had a hole in the middle. Lily wanted to touch it, but Ben said no.
+
+"Don't touch it, Lily. It might be hot. It looks like the sun."
+
+"But I want to see it, Ben. It looks like a ring. Maybe a fairy left it for us."
+
+Lily reached out her hand and touched the silver thing. It was not hot, it was warm. It felt nice and smooth. She pulled it out from under the rock and put it on her finger. It fit perfectly.
+
+"Look, Ben. It is a ring. It is so pretty. I like it."
+
+Ben was angry. He wanted the ring too. He tried to grab it from Lily, but she held on tight.
+
+"Give it to me, Lily. It is mine. I saw it first."
+
+"No, Ben. It is mine. I touched it first."
+
+They started to pull and push and shout. They did not see the big dog that came running towards them. It barked loudly and jumped on them. It wanted to play, but it scared them. It knocked them over and bit the ring. It ran away with the ring in its mouth.
+
+Lily and Ben cried. They lost their treasure. They wished they had not fought. They hugged each other and said sorry. They learned to share and be kind. They hoped the dog would be happy with the ring. They went back to their jar and looked for more shiny things.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys, read books, and sing songs. One day, they decided to go to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns going down.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Ben shouted as he slid down. "I'm so fast!"
+
+"You are, Ben!" Lily cheered. "Can I go next?"
+
+"Sure, Lily. Here you go." Ben moved aside and let Lily climb up the ladder.
+
+Lily reached the top and looked down. She saw a small, furry animal sitting on the slide. It had brown fur, long ears, and a fluffy tail. It looked at Lily with big, black eyes. It was a bunny!
+
+"Hello, bunny!" Lily said softly. "You are so adorable! Can I pet you?"
+
+The bunny twitched its nose and hopped closer to Lily. It let Lily stroke its fur and rub its ears. Lily smiled and hugged the bunny gently.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you found a bunny!" Ben said as he climbed up to join her. "Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure, Ben. Be nice to the bunny." Lily handed the bunny to Ben. Ben held the bunny on his shoulder and smiled.
+
+The bunny seemed to like Ben too. It snuggled against his cheek and nibbled his ear. Ben giggled and tickled the bunny's belly.
+
+"Lily, Ben, it's time to go home!" their moms called from the bench. "Say goodbye to the bunny!"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the bunny and felt sad. They wanted to keep the bunny and play with it more. But they knew the bunny belonged to the park and had to return to its home.
+
+"Bye, bunny. We love you." Lily and Ben said together. They kissed the bunny and put it back on the slide. The bunny looked at them and waved its paw. Then it hopped away and disappeared into the grass.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to their moms and hugged them. They told them about the bunny and how cute and friendly it was. Their moms smiled and praised them for being kind and gentle to the bunny.
+
+"Maybe we can see the bunny again next time we come to the park." Lily said hopefully.
+
+"Maybe we can, Lily. Maybe we can." Ben agreed.
+
+They held hands and walked home, happy and grateful for their new friend.
+Lily was a small girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big sister, Anna, who liked to tease her. One day, Lily was feeling sick and had to take some medicine. The medicine was bitter and made her face funny.
+
+Anna saw Lily and laughed. "You look silly, Lily! Your face is like a lemon. Is the medicine too yucky for you?" she said.
+
+Lily felt embarrassed and angry. She did not like Anna being mean to her. She wanted to say something back, but her mouth was full of medicine. She tried to swallow it, but it was too hard. She spat it out on the floor.
+
+Anna screamed. "Ew, Lily! That's gross! You made a mess. Mom will be mad at you!" she said.
+
+Lily started to cry. She felt bad for spitting out the medicine, but she also felt sad that Anna was not nice to her. She wished Anna would be kind and help her feel better.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily crying, Anna yelling, and the medicine on the floor. She sighed and hugged Lily. "It's okay, sweetie. I know the medicine is not tasty, but it will help you get well. I'm sorry Anna was rude to you. She should be more caring and gentle with you. You are her little sister, and she loves you, even if she doesn't show it sometimes." she said.
+
+She turned to Anna and gave her a stern look. "Anna, you owe Lily an apology. You should not laugh at her or make fun of her. You should be supportive and helpful. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" she said.
+
+Anna looked down and felt ashamed. She knew Mom was right. She did love Lily, and she did not want to hurt her. She walked over to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean and silly. I didn't mean to make you cry. Will you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked up and saw Anna's sorry face. She wiped her tears and smiled. She nodded and said, "I forgive you, Anna. I love you, too. Can we play with my dolls later?"
+
+Anna smiled back and hugged Lily. "Yes, we can. And I'll help you take your medicine next time. Maybe we can make a game out of it." she said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's very nice of you, Anna. I'm proud of you both. Now, let's clean up this mess and have some juice and cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Anna agreed and followed Mom to the kitchen. They felt happy and close. They learned that being kind and forgiving was better than being mean and embarrassing.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big bear that their grandma gave them. The bear was soft and brown, and had a red scarf around its neck. The twins liked to hug the bear and pretend it was their friend.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben found a jar of honey in the kitchen. They were eager to taste it, because they heard it was sweet and yummy. They took the jar and a spoon, and ran to their room with the bear. They opened the jar and dipped the spoon in the honey. They licked the spoon and smiled. The honey was delicious!
+
+They wanted to share the honey with the bear, because they thought he would like it too. They put some honey on his nose and mouth, and waited for him to lick it. But the bear did not move. He was just a toy, and could not eat honey. Lily and Ben did not understand. They thought the bear was unhappy, and needed more honey.
+
+They poured more honey on the bear, and rubbed it all over his fur. They hoped he would feel better, and start to talk to them. But the bear still did not move. He was sticky and wet, and his fur was clumped together. Lily and Ben did not like how he looked. They tried to clean him, but the honey was hard to remove. They pulled and tugged at his fur, and his scarf. They did not mean to hurt him, but they were too rough. They heard a rip, and saw a hole in his belly. The stuffing came out, and the bear looked sad.
+
+Lily and Ben were shocked and scared. They had torn their bear, and made him sick. They started to cry, and hugged the bear. They were sorry for what they had done. They wished they had not taken the honey, and left the bear alone.
+
+Their mom heard their cries, and came to their room. She saw the mess, and the bear. She was angry, but also sorry for them. She asked them what happened, and they told her the truth. They said they wanted to make the bear happy, but they made him worse. They asked her to fix the bear, and to forgive them.
+
+Their mom sighed, and hugged them. She said she was glad they were honest, and that they loved the bear. She said she would try to fix the bear, but it would take some time. She said they had to learn to be careful, and to respect their toys. She said they had to ask before they took something, and to follow the rules. She said they had to say sorry to the bear, and to each other.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded, and wiped their tears. They said sorry to the bear, and to each other. They said they would be more careful, and more respectful. They said they would ask before they took something, and follow the rules. They said they loved their mom, and their bear.
+
+Their mom smiled, and kissed them. She said she loved them too, and that they were good kids. She said she was proud of them, and that they had learned a valuable lesson. She said they could have some honey later, but only a little bit. She said they could play with the bear again, after he was fixed. She said they could still hug him, and pretend he was their friend. She said he would always love them, no matter what.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. She liked to make up stories about the fairies that lived there. She had a fairy doll that she took with her everywhere.
+
+One day, she saw a shiny thing under a big leaf. She moved the leaf and saw a fairy. A real fairy! The fairy was very small and had wings and a dress. She was sleeping on a soft bed of petals.
+
+Lily was very happy and wanted to say hello. She reached out her hand and touched the fairy's wing. The fairy woke up and saw Lily. She was not happy. She was scared and angry.
+
+"Who are you? Why did you disturb me?" the fairy said in a tiny voice.
+
+"I'm Lily. I'm sorry. I just wanted to be your friend. You are so pretty," Lily said.
+
+The fairy looked at Lily and saw that she was not mean. She was just curious. She calmed down and said, "I'm Flora. I live here in the garden. I was taking a nap because it is dark and I don't like the dark. The dark is scary."
+
+Lily nodded. She did not like the dark either. She said, "I don't like the dark too. But I have a fairy doll that makes me feel safe. Do you want to see her?"
+
+Flora smiled and said, "Yes, please. I would like to see your fairy doll."
+
+Lily showed Flora her fairy doll. Flora liked her. She said, "She is very nice. Can I play with her?"
+
+Lily said, "Of course. You can play with her. And I can play with you. We can be friends."
+
+Flora and Lily became friends. They played in the garden until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and promised to see each other again. Lily was very happy. She had found a real fairy.
+Lisa and Tom were twins. They liked to play together, but they also liked to win. They were very competitive. Sometimes they fought over toys, books, or games. Mommy and Daddy were not happy when they fought. They said, "You have to behave, or you will not get any treats. You have to share and be kind. You have to be angels, not devils."
+
+One day, Mommy and Daddy had to go out. They asked Grandma to watch Lisa and Tom. Grandma was very nice. She made them cookies and milk. She read them stories and sang them songs. She said, "You are such good children. You are my little angels."
+
+Lisa and Tom wanted to please Grandma. They tried to behave. They did not fight. They said, "Thank you" and "Please". They smiled and hugged. Grandma was very proud. She said, "You are the best children in the world. I have a surprise for you. I have a big box of toys in the closet. You can play with them until Mommy and Daddy come back."
+
+Lisa and Tom were very excited. They ran to the closet. They opened the box. They saw many toys. There were dolls, cars, puzzles, blocks, and more. Lisa and Tom wanted to play with everything. But they also wanted to have more than the other. They started to grab and pull. They said, "This is mine. No, this is mine. Give it to me. No, you give it to me."
+
+They forgot about Grandma. They forgot about behaving. They forgot about being angels. They only cared about winning. They started to yell and push. They threw toys at each other. They made a big mess. They broke some toys. They hurt each other.
+
+Grandma heard the noise. She came to the closet. She saw the chaos. She saw the broken toys. She saw the crying children. She was very angry. She said, "What have you done? You are not angels. You are devils. You are very naughty. You have to go to your rooms. You have to stay there until Mommy and Daddy come back. You have no treats. You have no toys. You have no fun."
+
+Lisa and Tom felt very sorry. They wished they had not been so competitive. They wished they had shared and been kind. They wished they had been angels, not devils. They said, "We are sorry, Grandma. We love you, Grandma. Please forgive us, Grandma."
+
+But Grandma did not answer. She closed the closet. She took the cookies and milk. She left them alone. Lisa and Tom went to their rooms. They had no treats. They had no toys. They had no fun. They had a bad ending.
+Lily loved her dog Spot very much. He was her best friend and always played with her. But one day, Spot was not feeling well. He did not want to eat or run or fetch. He just lay on his bed and shivered.
+
+Lily was very worried. She asked her mom, "What is wrong with Spot? Why is he shivering?"
+
+Her mom said, "I don't know, honey. Maybe he has a fever or a cold. We should take him to the veterinarian. She can help him get better."
+
+The veterinarian was a nice lady who loved animals. She wore a white coat and had a stethoscope. She checked Spot's ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. She listened to his heart and lungs. She said, "Spot has an infection. He needs some medicine and some rest. He will be fine in a few days."
+
+Lily was relieved. She hugged Spot and said, "You are a brave dog, Spot. I love you. You will feel better soon."
+
+The veterinarian smiled and said, "You are a good owner, Lily. You care for your dog very much. You are a brilliant girl." She gave Lily and Spot some treats and a sticker. She said, "Take good care of Spot and come back for a check-up next week."
+
+Lily and her mom thanked the veterinarian and took Spot home. They gave him his medicine and some water. They made him a cozy bed and cuddled with him. Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy to have such a loving family. He stopped shivering and fell asleep.
+Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a long hose near the flowers. Tim wants to touch it. Mia says no.
+
+"It is not ours. Mom will be mad," Mia says.
+
+But Tim does not listen. He runs to the hose and grabs it. He feels water inside. He laughs and squeezes it. Water comes out of the hose. It makes a leak.
+
+"Look, Mia, I can make water!" Tim says.
+
+Mia is scared. She sees the water go everywhere. It wets the flowers, the grass, and the fence. She runs to Tim and tries to take the hose from him.
+
+"Stop, Tim, stop! You are making a mess!" Mia says.
+
+But Tim does not stop. He thinks it is fun. He swings the hose around. He sprays Mia with water. She gets wet and cold. She cries.
+
+"Tim, you are mean!" Mia says.
+
+Then they hear Mom. She comes out of the house. She sees the water and the twins. She is angry.
+
+"Tim, Mia, what are you doing? You are wasting water and ruining the garden!" Mom says.
+
+She takes the hose from Tim and turns it off. She scolds them and sends them to their room. They have to change their clothes and say sorry.
+
+Tim and Mia are sad. They wish they did not touch the hose. They learn their lesson. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug and make up. They promise to be good and not touch things that are not theirs.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were on a big ship, sailing on the sea. They used the armchair as their captain's seat, and the pillows as their sails.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is an island!" Lily said, pointing to the window. "Let's go and explore it!"
+
+"Okay, Lily, but we have to be careful. There might be pirates or monsters there!" Ben said, grabbing a toy sword.
+
+They jumped off the armchair and ran to the window. They opened it and climbed out. They were not really on a ship, but on the second floor of their house. They had a big tree in their backyard, and they liked to climb it and pretend it was an island.
+
+They had a lot of fun, finding treasure, fighting enemies, and making friends with the animals. They forgot about the time, and did not hear their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+"Where are they?" Mom asked, looking around the empty living room. She saw the open window and the armchair with the pillows. She guessed what they were doing. She smiled and went to the backyard.
+
+"Lily! Ben! Come inside, it's time to eat!" She called, waving her hand.
+
+Lily and Ben heard her voice and looked down. They saw her standing under the tree, holding a plate of sandwiches.
+
+"Mom!" They shouted, waving back. "We're coming!"
+
+They climbed down the tree and ran to her. They hugged her and told her about their adventure.
+
+"Wow, you had a lot of fun!" Mom said, smiling. "But you must be hungry now. Let's go and have some lunch."
+
+They followed her inside, still talking and laughing. They left the armchair and the window behind, but they knew they could always go back to their ship and their island.
+Tom and Lily were going to the park with Mom. They put on their coats and shoes and waited by the door. Tom was impatient. He wanted to play on the swings and slide. He did not like to wait.
+
+"Mom, can we go now?" he asked. "I want to go to the park!"
+
+Mom was busy. She had to find her keys and phone. She had to check the mail and lock the door. She did not speak to Tom. She just nodded and said "Mm-hmm".
+
+Lily was patient. She did not mind to wait. She liked to look at the pictures in her book. She liked to make up stories in her head. She did not speak to Tom. She just smiled and said "Shh".
+
+Tom was bored. He did not want to look at the pictures or make up stories. He wanted to go to the park. He tapped his foot and sighed. He looked at the clock and frowned. He did not speak to Lily. He just grumbled and said "Hmph".
+
+Finally, Mom was ready. She found her keys and phone. She checked the mail and locked the door. She spoke to Tom and Lily. She said "OK, let's go to the park!"
+
+Tom and Lily cheered. They ran to the car and buckled up. They spoke to Mom. They said "Thank you, Mom! We love you, Mom!"
+
+Mom smiled. She drove to the park. She spoke to Tom and Lily. She said "You're welcome, kids. I love you, too!"
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a new ticket on the floor. The ticket is shiny and red. It says "Big Fun Park".
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "We can go to the park and ride the big slide and the merry-go-round!"
+
+"Yay, let's go!" Anna says. "But we have to ask our moms first."
+
+They run to their moms and show them the ticket. Their moms say yes, they can go to the park, but they have to be careful and stay together.
+
+Tom and Anna are very happy. They put on their coats and hats and go to the bus stop. They wait for the bus that goes to the park.
+
+But then, something bad happens. A big boy comes and sees their ticket. He wants the ticket for himself. He snatches the ticket from Tom's hand and runs away.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Tom shouts. "That's our ticket!"
+
+"Too bad, it's mine now!" the big boy says. He laughs and runs to the bus.
+
+Tom and Anna are very sad and angry. They chase the big boy, but he is too fast. He gets on the bus and locks the door. He waves the ticket at them and sticks out his tongue.
+
+"Ha ha, I'm going to the park and you're not!" he says.
+
+Tom and Anna cry. They don't know what to do. They have no ticket and no bus.
+
+But then, they hear a loud honk. It is another bus. The bus driver sees them and stops. He opens the door and smiles.
+
+"Hello, kids, do you need a ride?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, please, we want to go to the park, but a big boy took our ticket and locked us out!" Tom says.
+
+"That's not nice at all!" the bus driver says. "Don't worry, I have a spare ticket for you. Here you go, hop on!"
+
+Tom and Anna are very surprised and happy. They thank the bus driver and get on the bus. They see the big boy's bus ahead of them. They wave their ticket at him and stick out their tongue.
+
+"Ha ha, we're going to the park and you're not!" they say.
+
+The bus driver takes them to the park. They have a lot of fun. They ride the big slide and the merry-go-round. They forget about the big boy and his mean trick. They are glad they have a new friend, the bus driver. He is very nice and gives them a ride back home.

+The end.
+Sam and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big box full of toys. They pretended to be knights and princesses. They fought with swords and shields. They rescued each other from danger.
+
+One day, they found a book in the box. It had pictures of dragons and castles. It was very old and dusty. Sam opened the book and read aloud.
+
+"This is a story of an ancient dragon. He was very big and scary. He lived in a cave near a village. He breathed fire and smoke. He ate sheep and cows. The people were afraid of him. They wanted a brave knight to solve their problem."
+
+Sam looked at Lily. "Do you want to be the knight or the princess?" he asked.
+
+Lily smiled. "I want to be the knight. You can be the princess. I will solve the problem of the dragon."
+
+They put on their helmets and capes. They took their swords and shields. They ran to the shed. They pretended it was the cave of the dragon. They made roaring noises.
+
+Lily said, "I am the knight. I am not afraid of you, dragon. I will make you leave the village alone."
+
+Sam said, "I am the princess. I am trapped in the cave. Please, knight, save me from the dragon."
+
+They fought with their swords and shields. They dodged the fire and smoke. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and shouted.
+
+At last, Lily said, "I have solved the problem. I have tamed the dragon. He will not hurt anyone anymore. He will be our friend."
+
+Sam said, "You are a very brave knight. You have saved me from the dragon. Thank you very much. You are my hero."
+
+They hugged each other. They petted the dragon. They read more stories from the book. They played until it was time for dinner. They were very happy.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big gate at the end of the park. It was brown and had many holes.
+
+"Let's go see what is behind the gate," Lila said.
+
+"OK," Tom said. They ran to the gate and looked through the holes. They saw a big dog. It was black and had long hair. It was barking and wagging its tail.
+
+"Hi, doggy," Lila said. She put her hand through the hole to pet the dog. The dog licked her hand and made a happy sound.
+
+"Can we go inside and play with the dog?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Lila said. "The gate is locked. Maybe we can climb over it."
+
+They tried to climb over the gate. Lila went first. She put her foot on the gate and pulled herself up. But the gate was too high and wobbly. Lila lost her balance and fell down. She hit her knee on the ground and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow," she said. "It hurts."
+
+Tom saw Lila fall and felt scared. He jumped down from the gate and ran to her. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lila. Are you OK?"
+
+Lila looked at her knee and saw blood. She felt helpless and sad. She said, "No, I'm not OK. I want to go home."
+
+Tom helped Lila stand up and held her hand. He said, "Let's go find Mommy. She will make you feel better."
+
+They walked back to the park. The dog barked behind the gate. It wanted to play with them. But Lila and Tom did not look back. They just wanted to go home.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their rabbit, Spot. Spot was friendly and soft. He liked to hop and eat carrots. Ben and Lily gave him a big cage and a lot of toys.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily found a big box in the garage. They wanted to make a house for Spot. They took the box to the backyard and cut a door and a window. They put some hay and a blanket inside. They were very proud of their house.
+
+They put Spot in the house and watched him explore. He seemed happy and curious. He sniffed the hay and the blanket. He looked out the window and the door. He nibbled on a carrot.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big dog came into the backyard. He saw Spot in the house and barked loudly. He ran towards the house and bit the box. He tore the box apart and split it in half. He grabbed Spot by the neck and shook him hard.
+
+Ben and Lily screamed and cried. They ran to the house and called their mom. Their mom came out and saw the dog and Spot. She was very sad and angry. She chased the dog away and picked up Spot. But it was too late. Spot was dead. Ben and Lily hugged their mom and sobbed. They missed their friendly rabbit. They wished they had never made the house.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play sport in the park. They have a ball and a bat. They take turns to hit the ball and run.
+
+One day, a big boy comes to the park. He has a bike and a helmet. He looks at Tom and Sam and says, "What are you doing? That is not a sport. That is a baby game. You are babies."
+
+Tom and Sam feel sad and angry. They are not babies. They like their game. They say, "No, we are not babies. This is a sport. It is fun. You are mean."
+
+The big boy laughs and says, "No, this is not a sport. A sport is something hard and fast and cool. Like riding a bike. Or skating. Or soccer. You don't know anything. You are silly."
+
+Tom and Sam don't know what to say. They don't have a bike or skates or a soccer ball. They don't know how to play those games. They look at each other and shrug. They don't care what the big boy says. They like their game.
+
+They pick up their ball and bat and go to another part of the park. They find a nice spot under a tree. They play their game and have fun. They see a bird with rare colors. They smile and say, "Wow, look at that bird. It is so pretty. We are lucky." They are happy.
+Lily wanted to play dress-up with her big sister, Mia. She ran to the wardrobe in their room and opened the door. She saw many pretty clothes and shoes and hats. She wanted to pick something nice to wear.
+
+But then she heard a loud roar from inside the wardrobe. She was scared and jumped back. She saw a big lion with yellow fur and sharp teeth. The lion looked angry and hungry. Lily screamed and ran to Mia.
+
+"Mia, Mia, there is a lion in the wardrobe! Help me, help me!" Lily cried.
+
+Mia heard Lily and came to the room. She saw the lion too and was surprised. She wondered how it got there. She thought it might be a toy or a prank. She decided to be brave and find out.
+
+She walked slowly to the wardrobe and said to the lion, "Hello, Mr. Lion. Why are you here? Are you lost? Do you need a friend?"
+
+The lion stopped roaring and looked at Mia. He was not a real lion, but a puppet. He was part of a game that their dad had set up for them. He had a speaker in his mouth and a remote control in his hand. He wanted to surprise them and make them laugh.
+
+He said to Mia, "Hello, Miss Mia. I am sorry for scaring you and Lily. I am here to play with you. I am not lost, I am hiding. And I do need a friend. Will you be my friend?"
+
+Mia smiled and realized it was a joke. She was not afraid anymore. She said to the lion, "Yes, I will be your friend. And I think Lily will too, if you say sorry to her. She is very brave, but she does not like loud noises."
+
+The lion said to Lily, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to scare you. You are very brave, and very cute. Will you be my friend too?"
+
+Lily came closer and saw that the lion was not real. She was not scared anymore. She said to the lion, "Yes, I will be your friend too. But you have to be nice and quiet. And you have to let me pick something from the wardrobe to wear. I want to play dress-up with Mia."
+
+The lion agreed and nodded. He let Lily pick a dress and a hat from the wardrobe. He also picked a scarf and a pair of glasses for himself. He said, "Now we are all ready to play. What do you want to play?"
+
+Mia and Lily looked at each other and smiled. They said, "Let's play pretend. We can be anything we want. We can be princesses, or pirates, or astronauts, or doctors, or teachers, or anything. And you can be our friend, Mr. Lion."
+
+They all laughed and had fun. They played pretend for a long time. They forgot about the time and the world outside. They were happy and free. They were the best of friends.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But they do not like to share their toys. They have many toys in their room. They have cars, dolls, balls, books, and puzzles.
+
+One day, Mom says, "It is spring. It is time to clean your room. You have too many toys. You need to separate them. You can keep some and give some to other kids who do not have toys."
+
+Sara and Ben do not want to give away their toys. They start to argue. "I want this car. It is mine," Ben says. "No, it is mine. You have too many cars," Sara says. They pull the car and it breaks. They both cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees the broken car and the messy toys. She is not happy. She says, "Sara and Ben, you need to be nice to each other. You need to be organized. You need to sort your toys into two piles. One pile for you and one pile for other kids. Then you can choose which toys you want to keep and which toys you want to give away. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They wipe their tears and start to sort their toys. They find some toys that they both like and some toys that they do not play with anymore. They decide to keep some and give some. They work together and make two neat piles. They feel better.
+
+Mom sees their piles and smiles. She says, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You are very generous and organized. You can keep these toys and I will take these toys to the charity. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Yes, Mom. We want to help you. We want to make other kids happy." They hug Mom and take their toys to the car. They are happy too.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big hammer in the garage. They wanted to use it to build something, but they did not agree on what to make.
+
+"I want to make a house for my dolls," Lily said.
+
+"No, I want to make a car for my cars," Ben said.
+
+They both grabbed the hammer and pulled hard. They were very selfish and did not want to share.
+
+"Let go of the hammer, it's mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine, you let go!" Ben shouted.
+
+They shouted so loud that their mom heard them from the kitchen. She came to the garage and saw them fighting over the hammer. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing with that hammer?" she asked. "It's not a toy, it's dangerous. You could hurt yourselves or break something."
+
+She took the hammer away from them and put it back on the shelf. She told them to play nicely with their other toys and to share. She also told them to say sorry to each other.
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad for being selfish and loud. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to play with their blocks and make a house and a car together. They learned that sharing was more fun than fighting.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is the microphone. The microphone is red and shiny, and it can make loud noises. Lily and Ben like to sing and talk with the microphone.
+
+One day, they are playing with the microphone in their room. Lily sings a song about a cat. She sings, "I love my cat, he is so soft and fat. He likes to nap and play with a rat. He is my best friend, I hug him a lot." Ben claps and says, "That is a good song, Lily. You are a good singer."
+
+Then, Ben takes the microphone and says, "Now, it is my turn. I will tell you a story about a dragon. The dragon is big and green, and he can breathe fire. He lives in a cave and he guards a treasure. He is very scary, but he is also lonely. He wants to have a friend, but no one likes him." Lily listens and says, "That is a sad story, Ben. I feel sorry for the dragon."
+
+But then, something bad happens. The microphone starts to make a smelly smell. Lily and Ben smell the smell and say, "Ew, what is that? It is so smelly!" They look at the microphone and see that it is smoking. The microphone is broken. It has a hole and a wire is sticking out. Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They say, "Oh no, our microphone is broken. We can't play with it anymore. It was our favorite toy."
+
+They run to their mom and show her the broken microphone. Their mom sees the microphone and says, "Oh dear, what happened? Did you drop it or hit it?" Lily and Ben shake their heads and say, "No, mom. We were just playing with it. We don't know why it broke. It just started to make a smelly smell and smoke." Their mom says, "I'm sorry, kids. It looks like the microphone is old and worn out. It can't make noises anymore. Maybe we can get you a new one someday."
+
+Lily and Ben are still sad, but they hug their mom and say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. Maybe we can play with something else." Their mom says, "Of course, you can. You have many other toys. How about you play with your blocks or your dolls? You can still sing and tell stories without a microphone. You have good voices and good imaginations." Lily and Ben smile and say, "Okay, mom. We will try that. Maybe we can make a new microphone with our blocks or our dolls." Their mom says, "That sounds like fun. I'm sure you can make anything you want. You are very creative and smart." Lily and Ben say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." They kiss their mom and go back to their room. They are happy again. They play with their blocks and their dolls, and they make a new microphone. They sing and tell stories, and they have fun.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a toy gun. Ben likes to pretend he is a spy and shoot at bad guys. Anna likes to pretend she is a princess and talk on her phone.
+
+"Bang! Bang! You are a bad guy and I shoot you!" Ben says, pointing his toy gun at Anna.
+
+"No, I am not a bad guy, I am a princess!" Anna says, holding her phone to her ear. "And this is my phone, not a bomb!"
+
+"Give me your phone, princess, or I will shoot you again!" Ben says, moving closer to Anna.
+
+"No, this is my phone, and you can't have it!" Anna says, holding her phone tighter.
+
+Ben tries to grab the phone from Anna, but Anna pulls it away. The phone slips from her hand and falls on the floor. It makes a loud noise and breaks into pieces.
+
+"Oh no, my phone!" Anna cries, looking at the broken phone.
+
+"Uh oh, I'm sorry, Anna, I didn't mean to break your phone!" Ben says, feeling embarrassed.
+
+They hear their mom coming from the kitchen. She sees the broken phone and the toy gun on the floor.
+
+"What happened here?" she asks, looking at Anna and Ben.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other and don't know what to say. They feel very embarrassed.
+One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, swings, slides. They also saw many bugs: ants, bees, butterflies, ladybugs. Ben liked bugs. He wanted to make a bug friend.
+
+He saw a brown bug on a leaf. It had six legs and a hard shell. It was a beetle. Ben said, "Hello, brown bug. Do you want to play with me?" He reached out his hand to touch the bug.
+
+But the bug did not want to play. It was scared of Ben. It made a loud noise with its wings. It sounded like a buzz. The bug flew away from Ben's hand. It hid under another leaf.
+
+Ben was sad. He said, "Why did the brown bug run away? I just wanted to be nice." He looked for another bug to play with.
+
+Lily saw Ben was sad. She said, "Don't worry, Ben. Maybe the brown bug was shy. Maybe it did not like noise. Maybe it had to go home. There are many other bugs in the park. Maybe you can find a bug that likes you."
+
+She pointed to a yellow bug on a flower. It had four wings and a fuzzy body. It was a bee. Lily said, "Look, Ben. There is a yellow bug. It is making honey. Maybe it will share some with you. Maybe it will be your friend."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. Let's go see the yellow bug. Maybe it will be nice. Maybe it will play with us."
+
+He and Lily walked to the flower. They said, "Hello, yellow bug. Do you want to play with us?" They waited for the bug to answer.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is smelly and loud. It barks at them.
+
+"Let's jump over the fence and run away!" Sam says.
+
+"No, let's stay here and be brave!" Mia says.
+
+The dog comes closer and closer. Sam and Mia are scared. They hold hands.
+
+"Hello, children!" a voice says. It is the dog's owner. He is a nice man. He smiles at them.
+
+"Don't be afraid of Rex. He is a good dog. He just wants to play with you. He is smelly because he rolled in the mud. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Sam and Mia look at each other. They are not sure.
+
+"Is that the truth?" Sam asks.
+
+"Yes, it is the truth. Rex is friendly and gentle. He won't hurt you. Come and see for yourself." the man says.
+
+Sam and Mia decide to try. They let go of their hands and walk slowly to the dog. The dog wags his tail and licks their faces. He is soft and warm.
+
+Sam and Mia laugh. They are not scared anymore. They pet the dog and play with him. They like Rex. He is a smelly but good dog. They make a new friend.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big black dog. The dog is friendly and wags its tail. Lily and Tom want to pet the dog.
+
+"Hello, dog. You are so black and soft. Can we pet you?" Lily asks.
+
+The dog barks and licks Lily's face. Lily giggles and hugs the dog. Tom pets the dog's ears and back.
+
+"Can we carry you, dog? You are so heavy and warm. We want to carry you like a baby." Tom says.
+
+The dog barks again and lets Tom and Lily lift him up. They carry him to a bench and sit down. The dog snuggles with them and makes happy noises.
+
+"Look, mom. We have a new friend. He is a big black dog. We are carrying him. He likes us." Lily says.
+
+Mom smiles and walks over to them. She sees a tag on the dog's collar. It says his name is Max and his owner's phone number.
+
+"Hello, Max. You are a very nice dog. But I think your owner is looking for you. Let me call him and tell him where you are." Mom says.
+
+She takes out her phone and dials the number. A man answers and sounds worried. Mom tells him that his dog is with her and her kids at the park. The man says he will come right away.
+
+"Thank you, thank you. I was so scared. Max ran away from me when I was walking him. He loves kids and he must have seen yours. I'm so glad you found him and took care of him." The man says.
+
+Mom says it's no problem and that they enjoyed playing with Max. She tells Lily and Tom to say goodbye to Max and put him down.
+
+"Bye, Max. We had fun with you. You are a good dog. We hope to see you again." Lily and Tom say.
+
+They hug and kiss Max and let him go. Max wags his tail and barks. He runs to his owner and jumps on him. The owner hugs him and thanks Mom, Lily and Tom again. He waves and walks away with Max.
+
+Mom, Lily and Tom wave back and smile. They are happy they made a new friend. They decide to go and play some more.
+One day, a little girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big castle made of sand and stones. She wanted to play there, but there was a boy who said it was his castle and he was the king.
+
+"Can I play with you?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you can't. This is my castle and you are not a queen. You are just a girl," the boy said.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She thought the boy was mean and rude. She wanted to show him that she was a queen too. She looked around and saw a shiny crown made of flowers and leaves. She put it on her head and walked to the castle.
+
+"Hello, I am Lily and I am a queen. I came to meet you, king," she said.
+
+The boy looked at her and laughed. He said, "You are not a queen. You are just a girl with a silly crown. You can't come in my castle. Go away."
+
+Lily felt hurt and cried. She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. You are a brilliant queen. You are kind, smart and brave. You don't need a boy to tell you who you are. You can make your own castle and play with your own friends."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. I am a brilliant queen. And I will find other brilliant queens and kings to play with."
+
+She went to another part of the park and saw some other children who were making a castle of their own. They welcomed her and invited her to join them. They said, "You have a beautiful crown. You are a brilliant queen. We are happy to meet you."
+
+Lily felt happy and said, "Thank you. You are brilliant too. We can be friends and play together."
+
+She had fun with her new friends and learned that being a queen is not about having a big castle or a mean king. It is about being yourself and being nice to others.
+Ben and Tom are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. Ben is a good player. He can kick the ball far and fast. Tom is a fat player. He can not run fast or kick hard. But he likes to play too.
+
+One day, they play soccer with some other kids. Ben is on one team and Tom is on the other team. Ben's team is winning. Ben kicks the ball to the goal. Tom tries to stop the ball, but he is too slow. The ball goes in. Ben's team cheers.
+
+"Ha ha, you are a bad player, Tom!" Ben speaks. "You are too fat to play soccer. You should go home and eat less."
+
+Tom feels sad and angry. He speaks back to Ben. "That is not nice, Ben. You are my friend. You should not say mean things to me. I like to play soccer. I try my best. You are a good player, but you are not a good friend."
+
+Ben feels sorry. He speaks to Tom. "I am sorry, Tom. You are right. I was mean to you. I am your friend. I like to play soccer with you. You are a fat player, but you are a fun player. You make me laugh. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Tom smiles. He speaks to Ben. "Yes, we can still be friends. Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You make me happy. Can we play soccer together?"
+
+Ben nods. He speaks to Tom. "Yes, we can play soccer together. Come on, let's join the game. Maybe we can score a goal."
+
+They hug and run to the field. They play soccer with the other kids. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat something yummy. She went to the kitchen and saw Mommy cooking. Mommy was stirring a big pot.
+
+"What are you making, Mommy?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm making pasta, Lily. Do you like pasta?" Mommy said.
+
+Lily nodded. She liked pasta. Pasta was soft and long and yellow. Sometimes Mommy put cheese or sauce on it.
+
+"Can I help you, Mommy?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can help me by setting the table. Can you recognize the forks and spoons and plates?" Mommy said.
+
+Lily smiled. She knew the forks and spoons and plates. She recognized them by their shapes and sizes. She took them from the drawer and the cupboard and put them on the table.
+
+"Good job, Lily. You are a big helper. Now the pasta is ready. Let's eat!" Mommy said.
+
+Lily and Mommy sat down and ate the pasta. It was hot and tasty. Lily was happy. She liked pasta and she liked helping Mommy.
+Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going to travel on a big plane to see their grandma. Grandma lived far away, in a place with lots of sun and flowers. Lily and Tom loved grandma very much.
+
+"Are you ready to go?" asked Mum. She had a big bag with clothes and toys. "We need to be tidy and fast. The plane will not wait for us."
+
+"Yes, Mum!" said Lily and Tom. They put on their hats and shoes. They hugged their dad and their dog. They got in the car with Mum and drove to the airport.
+
+At the airport, there were many people and noises. Lily and Tom saw the big plane. It had wings and windows and a long nose. They followed Mum to a desk, where a lady checked their tickets.
+
+"Have a nice holiday!" said the lady. She gave them stickers with smiley faces.
+
+"Thank you!" said Lily and Tom. They stuck the stickers on their shirts. They were very excited. They walked with Mum to a gate, where they waited for their turn to get on the plane.
+
+"Are you ready to fly?" asked a man in a blue suit. He helped them find their seats on the plane.
+
+"Yes, we are!" said Lily and Tom. They buckled their belts and looked out the window. They saw the plane move and go faster and faster. Then it lifted off the ground and flew in the sky.
+
+"Wow!" said Lily and Tom. They clapped their hands and laughed. They were on their way to see grandma. They were having a wonderful holiday.
+Anna and Ben are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand and look for shells. Anna finds a big shell and shows it to Ben. "Look, Ben, I have a big shell!" she says.
+
+Ben looks at the shell and sees something move inside. He is curious and wants to touch it. He reaches for the shell, but Anna pulls it away. "No, Ben, it is mine!" she says.
+
+Suddenly, a small claw comes out of the shell and pinches Ben's finger. Ben cries out and drops the shell. A crab crawls out of the shell and runs away. Anna and Ben are scared and run to Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad hug them and check Ben's finger. It is red, but not bleeding. Mom says, "It is okay, Ben, it is just a little pinch. The crab was scared, too. He was hiding in the shell and you surprised him. He did not want to hurt you, he just wanted to be safe."
+
+Dad says, "The crab is grateful that you let him go. He can find another shell to live in. Maybe he will find a friend, too. Crabs like to be with other crabs. They help each other and share food."
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry for the crab. They say, "We are sorry, crab. We did not know you were in the shell. We hope you find a nice shell and a friend. We are grateful that you did not hurt Ben too much. We will be more careful next time."
+
+Mom and Dad smile and say, "That is very kind of you, Anna and Ben. You are good children. We are proud of you. Now, let's go and have some ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yes, please! We love ice cream!" They hold Mom and Dad's hands and walk to the ice cream shop. They are happy and forget about the crab. But the crab remembers them and is grateful, too.
+Daisy is a girl who likes to play in the park. She has a red ball and a yellow hat. She likes to throw the ball and catch it. She also likes to look at the flowers and the birds.
+
+One day, she sees a boy who is sitting on a bench. He has a blue shirt and a green bike. He looks sad. Daisy wants to make him happy. She picks a white flower and walks to him.
+

+
+The boy looks at her and smiles. "Hi, I am Tom. Thank you for the flower. It is very pretty. Yes, I want to play with you."

+Sam and Mom went to the grocery store. Sam liked to help Mom put things in the cart. He saw a big red bow on a box of cookies. He wanted the cookies with the bow.
+
+"Mom, can we get the cookies with the bow?" Sam asked.
+
+Mom looked at the box. She smiled and said, "Yes, we can get the cookies with the bow. They are a special treat for being helpful."
+
+Sam was happy. He put the box of cookies in the cart. He said, "Thank you, Mom."

She said, "This is a bow for you. You can wear it on your shirt or your hat or your hair. It is a gift for being polite and smart and helpful."
+
+Sam's eyes widened. He said, "Wow, thank you, lady. I love the bow. It is beautiful."

+
+Mom hugged Sam. She said, "I like the grocery store too. And I like the cookies and the bow. But most of all, I like you. You are my best helper and my best friend."
+One day, Tom and Mia were playing with their colorful toys. They had a big ship, a small boat, some dolls and some animals. They pretended to be pirates and sailed on the water.
+
+"Ahoy, matey!" Tom said. "I am the captain of this ship. You are my crew. We are looking for treasure!"
+
+"Aye, aye, captain!" Mia said. "I have a map. It shows us where the treasure is. It is on an island with a palm tree and a star."
+
+They moved their ship and boat closer to the island. They saw a shiny box under the palm tree. They jumped out of their toys and ran to the box.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It is full of gold and jewels and candy. This is the best treasure ever!"
+
+"Yay, we found it!" Mia said. "We are the best pirates ever!"
+
+But then, they heard a loud roar. It was a big, scary dragon. It had red scales, yellow eyes and sharp teeth. It flew over the island and saw the treasure.
+
+"Mine, mine, mine!" the dragon said. "I will take this treasure. It is mine!"
+
+The dragon swooped down and grabbed the box with its claws. It flew away with the treasure.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Tom said. "That is our treasure. You can't take it. That is not fair!"
+
+"Help, help!" Mia said. "The dragon took our treasure. What can we do?"
+
+Tom and Mia were very sad and scared. They did not know how to get their treasure back. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had a brave hero to save them.
+It was a very cold day. The wind was icy and the snow was white. Lily and Sam put on their hats and coats and boots. They wanted to go to school and see their friends.
+
+"Bye, Mom!" they said. "We will be good in class."
+
+"Bye, my loves!" Mom said. "Be careful on the road. And call me if you need anything."
+
+Lily and Sam walked to the bus stop. They saw other kids waiting there. They said hello and played with the snow. They made snowballs and snowmen and snow angels.
+
+Soon, the bus came. It was yellow and big. The driver was nice. He said, "Good morning, children. Hop on and find a seat."
+
+Lily and Sam got on the bus. They looked for a seat. They saw a boy sitting alone. He looked sad. He had a red scarf and a blue hat.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm Ben," the boy said.
+
+"Do you want to sit with us?" Sam asked.
+
+"OK," Ben said.
+
+Lily and Sam moved over and made room for Ben. They talked and laughed and shared their snacks. Ben smiled and felt happy.
+
+They became friends. They had fun in class. They learned new things. They played more with the snow. They called Mom and told her about their day.
+
+They were glad they met Ben. They were glad they went to school. They were glad it was a very cold day.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the park. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben says. He tries to lift the lid, but it is too heavy. He grunts and pushes, but nothing happens.
+
+"Maybe we need to work together," Anna says. She is tall for her age, and she has a good brain. She thinks of a plan. "You stand on this side, and I stand on that side. Then we pull the lid at the same time."
+
+"OK," Ben says. He trusts Anna. He goes to the other side of the box and holds the lid. Anna counts to three, and they both pull hard. The lid comes off, and they see what is inside.
+
+"Wow!" they both say. Inside the box, there are many toys. There are cars, dolls, books, balls, and puzzles. They are happy and excited. They start to take out the toys and play with them.
+
+"Thank you, Anna," Ben says. "You have a good brain. You helped us open the box."
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Anna says. "You are strong and brave. You helped us pull the lid."
+
+They smile at each other and hug. They are good friends. They share the toys and have fun. They are glad they found the big box in the park.
+Sara and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, climb and swing. One day, they saw a huge bird in the sky. It was black and white and had a long neck. Sara and Ben wanted to see it better.
+
+"Look, Ben, a big bird!" Sara said.
+
+"Wow, it is big! Let's follow it!" Ben said.
+
+They ran after the bird, leaving the park. They did not see the sign that said "Do not enter". They did not hear the loud noise. They did not notice the big fence.
+
+The bird landed on a roof. Sara and Ben tried to climb the fence to get closer. But the fence was too high and had sharp wires. They hurt their hands and feet. They cried.
+
+A man came out of the door. He wore a white coat and glasses. He looked angry.
+
+"What are you doing here? This is a research center. You are not allowed here. You could have been hurt by the machines or the animals. You are very naughty!" he said.
+
+He gave them a lecture. He told them about the dangers of the place. He told them about the bird. It was not a real bird. It was a robot bird. He used it to study other birds. He told them to go back to the park and never come back.
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry. They said they were sorry. They went back to the park. They did not want to see the robot bird again. They wanted to swing.
+Anna likes Tuesday. On Tuesday, she goes to the park with Mom. She sees many things at the park. She sees birds and dogs and flowers. She sees a big slide and a swing. She likes to play on the slide and the swing.
+
+One Tuesday, Anna sees something new at the park. She sees a boy with a red hat. He has a big ball. He kicks the ball and runs after it. Anna thinks he looks fun. She wants to play with him. She asks Mom if she can go to him.
+
+Mom says yes. Anna runs to the boy. She says hello. She asks if she can play with the ball. The boy says yes. He says his name is Ben. Anna says her name is Anna. They kick the ball and laugh. They have a fine time.
+
+Mom watches Anna and Ben. She smiles. She is happy that Anna has a new friend. She thinks Tuesday is a good day. She hopes Anna and Ben will see each other again. She thinks they are fine kids.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they fight over toys. One day, they see a big box in the living room. It has a purple bow on it. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Maybe it is a surprise for us!" Lily says. She wants to open the box.
+
+"No, we have to wait for Mom and Dad," Ben says. He wants to follow the rules.
+
+Lily and Ben start to argue. They pull the box from each other. They make a lot of noise. They do not hear Mom and Dad come home.
+
+"Surprise!" Mom and Dad shout. They have a cake and balloons for Lily and Ben. It is their birthday!
+
+Lily and Ben stop fighting. They feel sorry. They hug Mom and Dad. They say thank you. They share the cake and the balloons. They are happy.
+
+The big box is for them too. It has a purple bike inside. Lily and Ben love their new bike. They take turns to ride it. They promise to play nicely. They have a fun birthday.
+Anna liked to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. He was good at finding her, but she was good at hiding. One day, they played in the kitchen, where there were many places to hide. Anna saw a big cabinet with a thin door. She thought it was a good spot to hide. She opened the door and went inside. She closed the door behind her and waited for Tom to find her.
+
+Tom looked for Anna in the kitchen. He checked under the table, behind the chairs, and in the drawers. He could not find her. He wondered where she was. He saw the big cabinet with the thin door. He thought maybe Anna was inside. He walked towards the cabinet. He was about to open the door when he heard a loud noise.
+
+The noise was the sound of the cabinet falling over. The thin door was not strong enough to hold Anna's weight. The cabinet tipped over and crashed on the floor. Anna was scared and hurt. She cried out loud. Tom ran to the cabinet and opened the door. He saw Anna inside, covered with pots and pans. He felt sorry for her. He helped her out of the cabinet and hugged her.
+
+"Are you okay, Anna?" he asked.
+
+"I'm okay, Tom," she said. "But I don't want to hide in the cabinet anymore."
+
+"Me neither," he said. "That was a bad idea. I dare you to find a better place to hide next time."
+
+"Okay," she said. "But you have to count to ten first."
+
+They smiled and went to play again. They learned their lesson. They never hid in the cabinet again.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big tree with a hole in it. Tom said, "Let's go inside and see what's there." Lila was scared. She said, "No, it's dark and maybe there are spiders or snakes." Tom said, "Don't be scared, I'll go first and you follow me. Trust me, it will be fun." He gave her a wink and crawled into the hole.
+
+Lila waited for a while, then she heard Tom's voice. "Lila, come here, I found something cool!" She took a deep breath and followed him. Inside the hole, it was dark and dusty, but Tom had a flashlight. He pointed it at a corner and said, "Look, there's a box!" Lila saw a wooden box with a lock on it. It looked very old and worn. Tom said, "Maybe it has treasure inside. Let's open it."
+
+They tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they couldn't find one. They pushed and kicked the box, but it didn't budge. They were about to give up, when they heard a click. The lock opened by itself. They gasped and lifted the lid. Inside, they saw a shiny gold coin with a strange picture on it. Tom said, "Wow, this must be very ancient. Maybe it's from a pirate or a king." Lila said, "It's beautiful. Can we keep it?" Tom said, "Sure, we can share it. It's our secret." They smiled and hugged each other.
+
+They put the coin in their pocket and crawled out of the hole. They ran to the swings and played until it was time to go home. They didn't tell anyone about their discovery. They only showed each other the coin and made up stories about it. They felt happy and proud. They trusted each other and winked at each other. They had found a treasure and a friend.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a chubby cat named Puff who liked to nap in the sun.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily decided to go for a walk in the woods behind their house. They asked their mom if they could go, and she said yes, but they had to remember the way back and not go too far. She also told them to take Puff with them, so he would not get lonely.
+
+Tom and Lily agreed and put Puff on a leash. They walked along the path, looking at the trees, the flowers and the birds. They saw a squirrel, a rabbit and a butterfly. They had fun and forgot about the time.
+
+After a while, they realized they were lost. They did not remember the way back to their house. They felt scared and sad. They hugged Puff and wished they had listened to their mom.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice. It was their mom, calling their names. She had followed their footprints and found them. She was happy to see them, but also angry. She scolded them for going too far and not remembering the way. She told them they had to be more careful and obey her rules.
+
+Tom and Lily said they were sorry and hugged their mom. They thanked her for finding them and saving them. They also thanked Puff for staying with them and keeping them warm. They learned their lesson and promised to be more responsible.
+
+The moral of the story is: Always remember the way back home and listen to your parents. They love you and want you to be safe.
+Lila and Tom like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. One day, they see a big puddle near the trees. It is shiny and wet.
+
+"Let's splash in the puddle!" Tom says. He runs to the puddle and jumps in. Water flies up and soaks his shoes and socks. He laughs and jumps again.
+
+Lila follows him and jumps in the puddle too. She feels the water on her legs and feet. She giggles and splashes Tom with her hands.
+
+They have fun in the puddle for a while. Then they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. It is big and brown and has a long tail. It barks and runs to the puddle.
+
+Lila and Tom are scared of the dog. They do not want it to splash them or bite them. They look for a place to hide. They see a stand near the puddle. It has a cloth on top. It is for selling lemonade.
+
+They run to the stand and crawl under the cloth. They are hidden from the dog. They hold each other and hope the dog will go away.
+
+The dog reaches the puddle and sniffs around. It does not see Lila and Tom. It drinks some water and shakes its fur. It barks again and runs away.
+
+Lila and Tom peek out from under the cloth. They see the dog is gone. They are happy and relieved. They come out from the stand and hug each other.
+
+They are wet and dirty, but they are safe. They decide to go home and change their clothes. They walk to the gate and wave goodbye to the puddle. They had a lot of fun, but they do not want to meet the dog again.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the old house. They liked to explore the rooms and find new things. But they were not afraid, because they had each other.
+
+One day, they found a big cobweb in a corner. It was shiny and sticky and had many flies in it. Sara wanted to touch it, but Tom said no.
+
+"Don't touch it, Sara. It is dirty and icky. And maybe a spider lives there. It can bite you and make you sick."
+
+But Sara did not listen. She was curious and brave. She reached out her hand and touched the cobweb. It felt soft and fuzzy. She smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+"Look, Tom, it is not so bad. It is fun. And I don't see any spider. Come and touch it too."
+
+Tom shook his head. He did not want to touch the cobweb. He wanted to leave the old house and go back to their mom. He was scared and worried.
+
+"Sara, please, let's go. This is not a good place to play. Mom will be angry if she sees us here. And maybe the spider is hiding and waiting to jump on us."
+
+But Sara did not listen. She was happy and calm. She liked the cobweb. She wanted to play with it more. She pulled on it and made it bigger. She laughed and clapped her hands again.
+
+"Look, Tom, it is so pretty. It is like a blanket. I can wrap myself in it and be cozy. And maybe the spider is friendly and wants to play too."
+
+Tom screamed. He saw the spider. It was big and black and hairy. It had eight legs and eight eyes and sharp fangs. It was angry and hungry. It crawled out of the cobweb and ran towards Sara.
+
+"Sara, watch out! The spider is coming! Run, run, run!"
+
+But Sara did not listen. She did not see the spider. She did not hear Tom. She was busy and calm. She wrapped herself in the cobweb and clapped her hands one last time.
+
+"Look, Tom, I am a spider too. I am so happy. And I have a new friend."
+
+The spider reached Sara. It bit her and wrapped her in more cobweb. It dragged her to its nest and ate her. Tom watched and cried. He was alone and sad. He could not help Sara. He could not escape the old house. He could only wait for the spider to come back for him. The end.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to sit on the bench and talk.
+
+One day, Lily had to move to a new house. She was sad. She did not want to leave Max. She gave him a hug and a picture. She said, "I will miss you, Max. You are my best friend. I will write to you and call you. Please believe me."
+
+Max was sad too. He did not want to lose Lily. He took the picture and said, "I will miss you, Lily. You are my best friend. I will write to you and call you. I believe you."
+
+Lily and Max got in the car and waved goodbye. Max watched the car drive away. He felt a tear on his cheek. He went to the bench and looked at the picture. He smiled and said, "I will see you again, Lily. I believe you."
+Sara and Tom were going to the zoo with their mom. They had to take the subway to get there. Sara liked the subway. It was big and fast and loud. Tom did not like the subway. He thought it was scary and dark and noisy.
+
+"Look, Sara, there are fake animals on the wall!" Tom said, pointing to the pictures of lions and tigers and bears.
+
+"Those are not fake, Tom. They are real animals. We will see them at the zoo." Sara said, bouncing on her seat.
+
+"They are too fake, Sara. They do not move or make sounds. They are just drawings." Tom said, crossing his arms.
+
+"No, they are not. They are real. Mom, tell Tom they are real." Sara said, turning to their mom.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "They are both right, Sara and Tom. They are real animals, but they are also fake pictures. They are not alive, but they are made to look like the animals we will see at the zoo. They are called murals. They are a kind of art."
+
+"Art?" Sara and Tom said together.
+
+"Yes, art. Art is when people make something beautiful or interesting or fun with their hands or their minds. Like when you draw or paint or build or sing or dance. That is art." Mom said.
+
+"Oh, I see. I like art. I like to draw and paint and build and sing and dance." Sara said, bouncing again.
+
+"I like art too. I like to draw and paint and build and sing and dance." Tom said, bouncing with her.
+
+They bounced and laughed and talked about art until the subway stopped at the zoo. They got off and ran to see the real animals. They had a lot of fun. They saw lions and tigers and bears and many more. They learned a lot about them. They also saw some more art. They saw statues and sculptures and fountains and signs. They liked them too. They thanked their mom for taking them to the zoo. They had a great day.
+Ben was a spoiled boy who always wanted new toys. He had many cars, planes, and trains, but he was never happy. He always asked his mom and dad for more.
+
+One day, he saw a big plane in the sky. He pointed and said, "I want that plane! I want to be a pilot and fly in the sky!"
+
+His mom and dad shook their heads. "That plane is not a toy, Ben. It is very expensive and dangerous. You cannot have it."
+
+Ben was angry and sad. He ran to his room and slammed the door. He threw his toys on the floor and cried.
+
+He looked at his window and saw the plane again. He wished he could have it. He closed his eyes and prayed. He said, "Please, please, please, give me that plane. I will be good and happy. I will share my toys and listen to my mom and dad. Please, please, please."
+
+He opened his eyes and waited. He hoped his prayer would come true.
+
+But nothing happened. The plane did not come to him. It flew away and disappeared.
+
+Ben felt more angry and sad. He did not understand why his prayer did not work. He thought it was not fair.
+
+He heard a knock on his door. It was his mom. She came in and hugged him. She said, "Ben, I know you want that plane, but you cannot have everything you want. You have to be grateful for what you have. You have many toys that other children do not have. You have a mom and dad who love you. You have a home and food and clothes. You are very lucky, Ben."
+
+Ben looked at his mom. He felt a little sorry for being spoiled. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you too. But I still want to be a pilot and fly in the sky."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Maybe one day, when you grow up, you can be a pilot and fly in the sky. But for now, you have to learn and play and be happy. And you have to be kind and respectful to others. Do you understand, Ben?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. Can we go outside and play?"
+
+His mom said, "Of course, Ben. Let's go outside and play. Maybe we can see some more planes in the sky."
+
+Ben and his mom went outside and played. Ben saw some more planes in the sky. He did not cry or ask for them. He just watched them and imagined he was flying with them. He felt a little happier. He thanked his mom and God for his toys and his life. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that being spoiled is not good, and that being grateful is better.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man who had many toys for sale. He had balls, dolls, cars, and puzzles. Lily and Tom wanted to buy some toys, but they had no money.
+
+"Hello, children," the man said. "Do you like my toys? I can give you one for free, if you do me a favor."
+
+"What favor?" Lily asked.
+
+"See that hole over there? It is a trap for a bad animal. I need you to put some food in it, so the animal will come and get caught. Then I can take it away and sell it. Will you help me?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at the hole. It was deep and dark. They felt scared.
+
+"No, thank you," Tom said. "We don't want to hurt any animal. They are our friends, too. And we don't need your toys. We have fun with what we have."
+
+Lily nodded. She agreed with Tom. They ran away from the man and the hole. They found a nice spot under a tree, where they played with sticks and stones and leaves. They made up stories and laughed and sang.
+
+The man was angry. He had no children to help him with his trap. He had no animal to sell. He had no money to buy more toys. He was lonely and sad.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be kind to animals and nature. Don't be greedy or selfish. Be happy with what you have.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pie on a table. The pie smells good. It has apples and sugar on it.
+
+"Wow, look at that pie!" Lily says. "I want some. Do you want some, Tom?"
+
+"Yes, I do," Tom says. "But we can't take it. It is not ours. Maybe someone will come and share it with us."
+
+They walk to the table and wait. They hope the pie is for them. They are hungry and the pie looks yummy.
+
+Soon, a lady comes out of a house. She sees Lily and Tom. She smiles and says, "Hello, children. Are you waiting for the pie? I made it for you. It is a thank you pie. You helped me yesterday. You picked up the trash in the park. You are very kind and helpful. You can have some pie now."
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They say, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice and generous. We like to help you and the park. We love pie."
+
+The lady cuts the pie and gives them each a big slice. They eat the pie and enjoy it. It is sweet and warm. They say, "This is the best pie ever."
+
+They thank the lady again and hug her. Then they walk back to the park. They play some more. They are happy and full. They are good friends. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a big doll with a long neck. Ben has a small car with four wheels. They play in the garden.
+
+"Can I see your doll?" Ben asks Lily.
+
+"OK, but be careful. She is my best doll," Lily says. She gives Ben her doll.
+
+Ben looks at the doll. He sees her long neck. He thinks it is funny. He laughs. He pulls the doll's neck. The doll's head falls off.
+
+"Ben! What did you do?" Lily cries. She is very sad and angry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to see her neck," Ben says. He is scared and sorry.
+
+Lily takes her doll. She tries to put her head back on. She can't. She cries more.
+
+Ben feels bad. He wants to make Lily happy. He thinks of an idea. He gives Lily his car.
+
+"Here, Lily. You can have my car. It is a good car. It can go fast and make noises," Ben says.
+
+Lily looks at the car. She sees the four wheels. She thinks it is nice. She stops crying. She smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. That is very kind of you. Do you want to play with my doll?" Lily says.
+
+"OK, but only if you want to. We can share," Ben says.
+
+They hug. They play with the car and the doll. They are friends again. They have fun.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed the ducks, but Tom wanted to catch a fish.
+
+Tom found a long stick. He said it was a rod. He tied a string to the end of the stick. He put a worm on the string. He threw the stick in the pond. He waited for a fish to bite.
+
+Lily watched Tom. She thought he was silly. She had some bread for the ducks. She walked to the edge of the pond. She broke the bread into small pieces. She threw the pieces to the ducks. The ducks came closer. They quacked and nibbled the bread.
+
+Tom saw a fish near his stick. He got excited. He pulled the stick hard. He wanted to catch the fish. But the fish was too fast. It swam away. Tom lost his balance. He stumbled and fell in the pond. He got wet and cold.
+
+Lily heard Tom splash. She turned around. She saw Tom in the water. He looked funny. She laughed. She helped him out of the pond. She gave him a hug. She said, "You are a green fish now. You need a towel, not a rod." Tom smiled. He said, "You are a nice duck. You share your bread." They laughed together. They went home. They told their mom their story. She gave them a bath and a snack. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were twins, but they were very different. Lily liked to play with dolls and dress up. Tom liked to play with cars and trucks. They did not like to share their toys or their room.
+
+One day, their mom took them to the zoo. She wanted them to see the animals and have fun. But Lily and Tom did not have fun. They only wanted to see the animals they liked. Lily wanted to see the monkeys and the birds. Tom wanted to see the lions and the bears. They complained a lot.
+
+"Mom, I don't want to see the monkeys. They are boring. I want to see the lions. They are cool," Tom said.
+
+"Mom, I don't want to see the lions. They are scary. I want to see the birds. They are pretty," Lily said.
+
+Their mom was tired of their complaining. She decided to take them to see the alligators. She thought they would both like them. They were big and green and had many teeth.
+
+"Look, Lily and Tom, these are the alligators. They live in the water and eat fish and meat. They are very strong and fast. Aren't they amazing?" their mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at the alligators. They did not like them. They thought they were ugly and mean. They complained some more.
+
+"Mom, I don't like the alligators. They are gross. I want to go home," Lily said.
+
+"Mom, I don't like the alligators. They are stupid. I want to go to the playground," Tom said.
+
+Their mom was very angry. She told them to stop complaining and to be quiet. She said they had to stay and watch the alligators for a while. She said they had to learn to appreciate different things.
+
+But Lily and Tom did not listen. They kept complaining and whining. They did not watch the alligators. They did not see that one of them was getting closer and closer to the fence. They did not hear their mom scream. They did not feel the alligator bite them. They did not know they were in trouble. They only knew they were different. And they were right. They were different from the other children. They were dinner.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big box in the closet. They open the box and see many old things. They see a hat, a scarf, a book, a doll and a car.
+
+"Look, Ben, a hat!" Anna says. She puts the hat on her head. "I am a queen!"
+
+"Look, Anna, a car!" Ben says. He picks up the car and makes it go vroom. "I am a driver!"
+
+They play with the old things for a long time. They have fun. They make up stories and pretend.
+
+Then, they hear their parent call them. "Anna, Ben, time for lunch!"
+
+They run to the kitchen. They see their parent smile. They smile too.
+
+"Mom, Dad, look what we found!" Anna says. She shows them the hat.
+
+"Wow, that's a nice hat!" their parent says. "Where did you find it?"
+
+"In the closet, in a big box!" Ben says. He shows them the car.
+
+"Wow, that's a cool car!" their parent says. "That was my car when I was little!"
+
+"Really?" Anna and Ben say. They are surprised.
+
+"Yes, really!" their parent says. "And that hat was your grandma's hat. And that book was your grandpa's book. And that scarf was your aunt's scarf. And that doll was your mom's doll. These are old things, but they are fine things. They are part of our family story."
+
+Anna and Ben look at the old things. They feel happy. They hug their parent.
+
+"Thank you for showing us these fine things, Mom, Dad!" they say.
+
+"You're welcome, Anna, Ben!" their parent says. "Now, let's have some lunch. You must be hungry after playing so much!"
+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is inside.
+
+They go near the hole and look. They see a pipe. The pipe is long and shiny. It goes into the hole. Sam and Ben are curious.
+
+Sam says, "Let's go inside the pipe and see where it goes." Ben says, "No, I am nervous. It is dark and scary. Maybe there is a monster in the pipe."
+
+Sam says, "Don't be nervous. I will go first and you can follow me. It will be fun. Maybe we will find a treasure in the pipe."
+
+Sam offers his hand to Ben. Ben thinks for a moment. He wants to be brave like Sam. He takes Sam's hand and says, "OK, let's go."
+
+Sam and Ben crawl into the pipe. They see a light at the end. They are happy. They have found a new adventure.
+One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big black dog near a tree. The dog was barking and showing its teeth.
+
+"Look at that dog!" Tom said. "It is scary and mean. I dare you to touch its toe."
+
+Lily was afraid of the dog, but she did not want to seem like a baby. She said, "OK, I will do it. But you have to do it too."
+
+They walked slowly towards the dog. The dog saw them and growled louder. Tom and Lily stopped and looked at each other.
+
+"Maybe this is a bad idea," Lily said.
+
+"No, you have to do it. You said you would," Tom said.
+
+Lily took a deep breath and stepped forward. She reached out her hand and touched the dog's toe. The dog snapped at her and bit her finger. Lily screamed and ran away.
+
+Tom was shocked and scared. He ran after Lily and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Are you OK?"
+
+Lily was crying and holding her finger. She said, "No, I'm not OK. The dog hurt me. It was a stupid dare. You are a bad friend."
+
+Tom felt sorry and guilty. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just joking. I didn't think the dog would bite you. You are a good friend. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sad. She said, "It's OK, I forgive you. But don't ever dare me to do something dangerous again. And let's stay away from that dog."
+
+Tom nodded and hugged Lily. He said, "OK, I promise. And let's go to the nurse and get your finger fixed."
+
+They walked to the nurse and told her what happened. The nurse cleaned and bandaged Lily's finger and gave them both a lollipop. They said thank you and went back to the park. They decided to play on the swings and slides instead of the dog. They were still friends and learned a lesson.
+Anna and Ben liked to play hide and seek in the big park. They ran and laughed and counted and looked for each other. One day, the sky was gloomy and dark. Anna and Ben did not care. They still wanted to play.
+
+Anna was the seeker. She closed her eyes and counted to ten. Ben ran away to find a good hiding spot. He saw a big pile of leaves near a tree. He thought it was a perfect place to hide. He jumped into the leaves and covered himself with them. He smiled and waited for Anna to find him.
+
+Anna opened her eyes and looked around. She saw the swings, the slide, the sandbox, but no Ben. She wondered where he was. She walked around the park and called his name. She did not see the pile of leaves near the tree. She did not hear Ben giggle under them.
+
+Suddenly, she heard a loud noise. It was thunder. She saw a flash of light. It was lightning. She felt a drop of water. It was rain. She got scared and ran to the tree. She wanted to find Ben and go home.
+
+She reached the tree and saw the pile of leaves. She thought it was strange. She kicked the leaves and saw Ben's face. He was surprised and scared too. He jumped out of the leaves and hugged Anna. They were both wet and cold.
+
+"Ben, why did you hide here?" Anna asked.
+
+"I thought it was a good spot. I did not know it would rain," Ben said.
+
+"Let's go home. Mom and Dad will be worried," Anna said.
+
+They ran to the gate and saw Mom and Dad waiting for them. They were happy to see them. They got in the car and drove home. They covered themselves with a warm blanket and drank hot cocoa. They learned a lesson. They would not play hide and seek in the gloomy sky again.
+Lily and Sam were going to a big hotel with their mom and dad. They were very happy because they had never been to a hotel before. They packed their bags with their clothes and toys.
+
+When they got to the hotel, they saw a big lobby with a lot of people and a nice lady at a desk. The lady gave them a key and told them where their room was. Mom and dad said they had to be quiet and polite in the hotel.
+
+Lily and Sam wanted to go to the pool, but mom said they had to wear their swimsuits first. Lily had a pink swimsuit with flowers and Sam had a blue swimsuit with sharks. They put them on and ran to the elevator.
+
+In the elevator, they met a man who was wearing a suit and a tie. He looked very serious and busy. He said hello to mom and dad, but he did not smile at Lily and Sam. Lily and Sam thought he was not very friendly.
+
+When they got to the pool, they saw a lot of water and a slide. They jumped in and splashed and played. They had a lot of fun. The man in the suit came to the pool too, but he did not go in the water. He sat on a chair and looked at his phone.
+
+Lily and Sam wanted to make him happy, so they decided to share their toys with him. They brought him a ball, a duck, and a boat. They said, "Do you want to play with us? We have toys for you!"
+
+The man looked at them and smiled. He put down his phone and said, "Thank you, that is very kind of you. I would love to play with you." He took the toys and threw the ball, squeezed the duck, and floated the boat. He laughed and had fun.
+
+Mom and dad watched and smiled too. They were proud of Lily and Sam for being nice and friendly. They said, "You are very good children. You made a new friend today. That is more important than wearing a suit or a tie."
+
+Lily and Sam hugged mom and dad and said, "We love you. We love the hotel. We love our new friend."
+
+The end.
+Anna liked to cook with her mom. They made soup, cake, and pizza. Sometimes they used spicy things, like pepper and ginger. Anna liked spicy things, but not too much.
+
+One day, mom said they would make a new dish. It was called curry. Mom said curry was from a far place, where people spoke different words. Mom said curry was very spicy, and Anna would like it.
+
+They went to the shop to buy things for the curry. They needed rice, chicken, and a jar of sauce. Mom looked at the price of the sauce. It was very high. Mom said it was because the sauce was special and hard to find.
+
+Anna saw another jar of sauce. It was cheaper. It had a picture of a red pepper on it. Anna liked red peppers. She said, "Mom, can we buy this sauce? It is cheaper and it has peppers."
+
+Mom looked at the jar. She said, "This sauce is not for curry. It is for something else. It is very, very spicy. Too spicy for you and me. We need to trust the sauce that is for curry. It will make our dish tasty and not hurt our mouths."
+
+Anna nodded. She trusted mom. She knew mom knew how to cook. They bought the sauce for curry and went home. They cooked the rice, the chicken, and the sauce. They smelled good. They ate the curry. It was spicy, but not too spicy. It was yummy. Anna was happy. She said, "Mom, I like curry. Thank you for making it."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you like it. You are a good helper and a brave eater. I love you."
+
+Anna hugged mom. She said, "I love you too, mom."
+Tom and Lily love the beach. They like to play in the sand and look for shells. But their favorite thing is to surf. They have a big board that they share. They wait for the waves and then they run to the water.
+
+"Look, Lily, a big wave!" Tom says. He holds the board and Lily jumps on. They paddle fast and catch the wave. They surf together and feel the wind and the spray. They are very excited and happy.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" Lily says. "Let's do it again!"
+
+They surf again and again until they are tired. Then they go back to the sand and rest. They drink some juice and eat some cookies. They watch the other surfers and the birds. They smile and hug.
+
+"We had a great day, Tom," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, we did, Lily," Tom says. "I love to surf with you."
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a blue dress, yellow hair and a leather bag. Sara took Anna everywhere she went.
+
+One day, Sara went to the park with her mom. She saw a girl with a red bike. The girl smiled at Sara and said, "Hi, do you want to try my bike? It is very fun."
+
+Sara looked at the bike. It was shiny and had a bell. She wanted to try it, but she was afraid to leave Anna alone. She said, "No, thank you. I like to play with my doll."
+
+The girl said, "Oh, I see. Your doll is very pretty. Can I see her bag? It looks like leather."
+
+Sara nodded and showed her Anna's bag. The girl touched it and said, "Wow, it is leather. It is very soft and nice. Where did you get it?"
+
+Sara said, "My grandma gave it to me. She made it for me. She said it was a special gift."
+
+The girl said, "That is very sweet of your grandma. You are very lucky. You have a nice doll and a nice bag. You should be grateful."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "I am grateful. I love my grandma and my doll. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The girl said, "Yes, I do. I can share my bike with you. And you can share your doll with me. We can be friends."
+
+Sara was happy. She accepted the girl's offer. She tried the bike and rang the bell. The girl played with Anna and opened her bag. They had fun together. Sara was grateful for her doll, her bag and her new friend.
+Tom was a lonely sheep. He had no friends in the farm. The other sheep did not like him because he was different. He had black wool and blue eyes. They said he was weird and ugly.
+
+Tom wanted to succeed. He wanted to show the other sheep that he was smart and brave. He wanted to make them proud and happy. He wanted to have friends.
+
+One day, he saw a big wolf near the fence. The wolf was hungry and angry. He wanted to eat the sheep. Tom was scared, but he did not run away. He ran towards the wolf and barked like a dog.
+
+The wolf was surprised and afraid. He thought Tom was a dog. He did not like dogs. He ran away from the farm. Tom had saved the sheep.
+
+The other sheep saw what Tom had done. They were amazed and grateful. They said he was clever and strong. They said he was a hero and a friend.
+
+Tom was not lonely anymore. He had succeeded. He was happy.
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to swim in the lake near their house. They had a big yellow ball that they threw to each other in the water.
+
+One day, they saw a shiny thing at the bottom of the lake. It looked like a ring. Tom wanted to have it. He said to Lily, "I will dive and get it. You wait here and hold the ball."
+
+Lily was scared. She said, "No, Tom, don't go. It is too deep. You might get hurt. The ring is not ours. We should leave it alone."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He was greedy. He said, "I don't care. I want the ring. It is pretty. You are a baby. You are afraid of everything." He let go of the ball and dove into the water.
+
+Lily waited for Tom to come back. She held the ball and looked at the water. She was worried. She was a loyal friend. She did not want Tom to be in trouble.
+
+But Tom did not come back. He swam too deep and got stuck in the mud. He could not breathe. He could not see. He could not hear. He was alone and scared. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had the ball. He wished he had the ring.
+
+But it was too late. Tom was gone. Lily cried. She lost her friend. She learned a sad lesson. She learned that being greedy is bad. She learned that being loyal is good. She learned that some things are more important than others. She learned that the ring was not worth it.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. But today, it is very cold outside. The sky is blue, but the wind is strong. Anna and Ben wear warm hats and coats, but they still feel cold.
+
+"Can we go home, Mom?" Anna asks. She yawns and rubs her eyes. She is tired and hungry.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for Dad. He is coming soon," Mom says. She smiles and hugs Anna.
+
+Ben is bored. He wants to have fun. He sees a big hill with snow. He has an idea. He takes his sled and runs to the hill. He calls Spot to follow him.
+
+"Come on, Spot! Let's go down the hill!" Ben says. He puts Spot on the sled and sits behind him. He pushes the sled and they slide down the hill. Ben laughs and shouts. Spot barks and wags his tail. They have fun.
+
+Anna watches Ben and Spot. She wants to join them. She forgets that she is cold. She takes her sled and runs to the hill. She calls Mom to follow her.
+
+"Come on, Mom! Let's go down the hill!" Anna says. She puts Mom on the sled and sits behind her. She pushes the sled and they slide down the hill. Anna laughs and shouts. Mom smiles and holds Anna. They have fun.

+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they do not agree on what to play. One morning, Tom wants to play soldiers. He puts on a hat and a belt. He picks up a stick. He says, "Lily, come and play soldiers with me. We can march and fight the bad guys."
+
+Lily does not want to play soldiers. She wants to play fairies. She puts on a dress and a crown. She picks up a wand. She says, "Tom, come and play fairies with me. We can fly and make magic."
+
+Tom and Lily look at each other. They shake their heads. They say, "No, thank you. I want to play my game."
+
+Tom and Lily go to different rooms. They play by themselves. But they are not happy. They miss each other. They want to play together.
+
+Tom has an idea. He goes to Lily's room. He knocks on the door. He says, "Lily, can I play fairies with you?"
+
+Lily has an idea. She goes to Tom's room. She knocks on the door. She says, "Tom, can I play soldiers with you?"
+
+Tom and Lily open their doors. They see each other. They smile. They say, "Yes, you can. Let's play both games."
+
+Tom and Lily hug. They go to the living room. They play soldiers and fairies. They march and fly. They fight and make magic. They have fun. They are happy.
+
+Mom and Dad are in their room. They hear Tom and Lily playing. They hear them laughing. They are proud of their twins. They say, "Tom and Lily are persistent. They always find a way to play together. They are good friends."
+
+Mom and Dad get out of bed. They go to the living room. They join Tom and Lily. They play soldiers and fairies. They march and fly. They fight and make magic. They have fun. They are happy. They are a family.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used some flour and water and eggs. They mixed them all together and made a big mess.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "Mommy will be angry. We have to clean up."
+
+Ben had an idea. He saw a mop in the corner. He took it and dipped it in the flour and water. He said, "Look, Lily, I have a big paintbrush. I can paint the walls and the floor."
+
+He started to mop the kitchen with the flour and water. He made white stripes and dots and swirls. He laughed and said, "This is fun. I am a clever painter."
+
+Lily thought it was funny too. She took another mop and joined him. She said, "Me too. I can paint the table and the chairs and the fridge."
+
+They mopped and painted and laughed. They did not see Mommy coming in. She saw the kitchen and gasped. She said, "What are you doing? You made a bigger mess. This is not funny. This is naughty."
+
+Ben and Lily stopped. They looked at Mommy. They looked at the kitchen. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mommy. We wanted to clean up. We were playing."
+
+Mommy sighed. She said, "I know you were playing. But you have to be careful. You can't use the mop to paint. You have to use the mop to wipe. And you have to ask me before you use the flour and the eggs. They are for cooking, not for playing."
+
+She took the mops and put them in the sink. She said, "Now, you have to help me clean up. And then you have to take a bath. And then you can have some cookies. But no more painting with the mop, OK?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "OK, Mommy. We are sorry. We love you."
+
+They hugged Mommy. They helped her clean up. They took a bath. They had some cookies. They learned their lesson. They did not paint with the mop again.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to swim in the lake near their house. They wore big hats and sunscreen to protect their skin from the sun. One day, they saw a tall raven sitting on a branch above the water. The raven had shiny black feathers and a sharp beak.
+
+"Hello, raven!" Tom said. "Do you want to swim with us?"
+
+The raven looked at Tom and Lily and shook his head. "No, thank you," he said. "I do not like to swim. I like to fly and sing."
+
+"Why don't you like to swim?" Lily asked. "Swimming is fun. You can splash and kick and float."
+
+The raven shrugged his wings. "Swimming is not fun for me. I have no fins or scales or gills. I have wings and feathers and lungs. If I swim, I get wet and heavy and cold. If I fly, I get dry and light and warm."
+
+Tom and Lily thought about what the raven said. They realized that different animals liked different things. They decided to respect the raven's choice and not bother him.
+
+"Okay, raven," Tom said. "We understand. You can fly and sing and we can swim and play. Maybe we can be friends anyway."
+
+The raven smiled and nodded. "Yes, maybe we can," he said. "You are nice and polite. I like that. Have fun, Tom and Lily. And be careful in the water."
+
+Tom and Lily waved to the raven and thanked him. Then they jumped into the lake and swam happily. The raven watched them for a while and then flew away, singing a song.
+Sam likes to play with his toy phone. He pretends to call his friends and talk to them. He has a leather case for his phone. He thinks it makes him look like a grown-up.
+
+One day, he hears a real ring from the phone. He is surprised and curious. He opens the leather case and picks up the phone. He says hello.
+
+He hears a voice he knows. It is his grandma. She says she is happy to hear him. She asks him how he is. He says he is fine and healthy. He tells her he ate his carrots and broccoli. He asks her how she is.
+
+She says she is fine and healthy too. She tells him she went for a walk and saw some flowers and birds. She says she misses him and loves him. He says he misses her and loves him too.
+
+They talk for a little while. Then they say goodbye and hang up. Sam puts the phone back in the leather case. He smiles and hugs his toy phone. He is glad he talked to his grandma. He thinks she is the best.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Sometimes they share their toys and snacks with each other. They are generous and kind.
+
+One day, Lily has a dream. She dreams that she can fly. She flies over the trees, the clouds and the stars. She feels happy and free. She wants to tell Ben about her dream. She thinks he will like it too.
+
+The next day, she meets Ben in the park. She says, "Ben, I have something to tell you. I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I can fly. It was amazing. Do you want to hear more?"
+
+But Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, I don't want to hear your dream. Dreams are silly. They are not real. I only like real things. Like cars and trucks and trains. They are cool and fast and loud. I don't care about flying. Flying is boring."
+
+Lily feels sad and hurt. She says, "But Ben, dreams are not silly. They are fun and exciting. They can make you happy and curious. You can dream about anything you want. Like flying. Flying is not boring. It is wonderful. You can see the world from a different way. You can feel the wind and the sun and the rain. You can be free. Don't you want to try?"
+
+But Ben refuses. He says, "No, I don't want to try. I don't want to dream. I don't want to fly. I only want to play with my cars and trucks and trains. They are better than dreams. Go away, Lily. I don't want to be your friend anymore."
+
+Lily feels very sad and lonely. She says, "OK, Ben. If you don't want to be my friend, I will go away. But I will always remember my dream. And I will always hope that one day, you will change your mind. And maybe, just maybe, you will want to fly with me."
+Lily liked to help her mom clean the house. She had a small broom and a cloth that she used to sweep and wipe the floor. She wanted to make the house shiny and nice.
+
+One day, she saw a big shelf with many books and things on it. She wondered what was on the top of the shelf. She could not see from the floor. She decided to climb on a chair and reach for the top.
+
+She put the chair next to the shelf and climbed on it. She stretched her arm and touched the top of the shelf. She felt something soft and fuzzy. It was dust. She did not like dust. It made her sneeze. She took the cloth and tried to wipe the dust away.
+
+"Ah-choo!" She sneezed loudly. The dust flew in the air. She saw some of the things on the shelf move and shake. She was scared. She wanted to get down from the chair.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" She heard her mom's voice. She turned and saw her mom standing in the door. She looked angry.
+
+"I-I was trying to help, mom. I wanted to clean the shelf. But there was so much dust. And I sneezed. And the things moved. And I'm sorry, mom." Lily said in a small voice.
+
+Her mom came closer and looked at the shelf. She saw the dust and the things. She saw the chair and the cloth. She saw Lily's face. She was not angry anymore. She smiled.
+
+"Lily, you are a very good helper. You wanted to do something nice for the house. But you should not climb on the chair. It is not safe. You could fall and hurt yourself. And you should not touch the things on the shelf. They are fragile and precious. They could break and make you sad. Do you understand?" Her mom said gently.
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She did not want to fall or break anything. She wanted to be careful and respectful.
+
+"Come here, sweetie. Let me help you down. And let me hug you. I'm proud of you for trying to help. But next time, ask me first, okay?" Her mom said and lifted Lily from the chair. She hugged her and kissed her cheek.
+
+Lily hugged her back and smiled. She was happy. She loved her mom. And she loved the house. She wanted to keep it shiny and nice. But she would not climb on the chair again. She would ask her mom first. She would be a good helper.
+Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to learn how to make cookies and cakes and pies. Mom said it was important to follow the recipe and be careful with the oven.
+
+One day, mom had to go to the store and left Sara alone in the kitchen. She told Sara not to touch anything and wait for her to come back. But Sara was curious and bored. She saw a big bowl of dough on the counter and a rolling pin next to it. She thought it would be fun to make her own cookies.
+
+She climbed on a chair and reached for the bowl and the rolling pin. She dumped the dough on the table and started to roll it flat. She found some cookie cutters in a drawer and cut out shapes. She put them on a baking sheet and slid it into the oven. She turned the knob to make it hot.
+
+She was very proud of herself and waited for the cookies to bake. She did not hear the timer beep or the smoke alarm go off. She did not smell the burning dough or see the flames in the oven. She did not notice the door open or mom run into the kitchen.
+
+Mom saw the fire and screamed. She grabbed a towel and tried to put it out. She called for Sara and looked for her. She found her on the floor, unconscious and covered in flour. She had fallen off the chair and hit her head. Mom cried and called for help. She wished she had never let Sara stay in the kitchen alone.
+Tom and Anna love to read books. They have many books with pictures of animals. One day, they find a big book about safari. Safari is a place where wild animals live. They want to read the book together.
+
+They open the book and see a lion. The lion has a big mane and sharp teeth. Tom says, "Wow, look at the lion! He is so strong and brave. I want to be like him." Anna says, "Me too. He is the king of the animals. He can roar loud and run fast."
+
+They turn the page and see a snake. The snake is long and thin. It has a forked tongue and scales. Tom says, "Eek, look at the snake! He is so sneaky and scary. I don't like him." Anna says, "Me neither. He can bite and poison. He can hide and slither."
+
+They turn the page and see an elephant. The elephant is big and gray. It has a long trunk and big ears. Tom says, "Wow, look at the elephant! He is so smart and gentle. I want to be his friend." Anna says, "Me too. He can spray water and lift things. He can remember and help."
+
+They turn the page and see a crocodile. The crocodile is green and scaly. It has a long tail and big jaws. Tom says, "Eek, look at the crocodile! He is so mean and hungry. I am scared of him." Anna says, "Me too. He can snap and crunch. He can swim and wait."
+
+They close the book and hug each other. They say, "We like to read books about safari. But we are glad we are not there. We are safe and happy here." They put the book away and play with their toys. They are not scared anymore.
+One day, a little boy and his mom went to the park. The boy liked to play on the swings and the slide. He also liked to look at the flowers and the trees. He saw many colors and shapes.
+
+He saw an old man sitting on a bench. The old man had white hair and a long beard. He looked sad and lonely. The boy wanted to make him happy. He ran to the flower bed and picked a yellow flower. He ran back to the old man and gave him the flower.
+
+"Hello, sir. This is for you. It is pretty and bright, like the sun," the boy said.
+
+The old man smiled and took the flower. He smelled it and thanked the boy.
+
+"Hello, little one. You are very kind and sweet. This flower makes me happy. What is your name?" the old man asked.
+
+"My name is Sam. I like flowers and animals and books. What is your name?" the boy answered.
+
+"My name is Ben. I like flowers and animals and books, too. We have a lot in common. Do you want to sit with me and talk?" the old man offered.
+
+"Yes, please. I like to talk and listen. Mom, can I sit with Ben?" the boy asked his mom.
+
+His mom nodded and smiled. She was glad that her son made a new friend. She watched them chat and laugh. The boy and the old man became good friends. They shared stories and jokes and secrets. They made each other happy.
+Lily was a good girl who liked to help her mom. One day, her mom said they had to go to the hospital to see her grandma. Lily was sad because her grandma was sick and had to stay in a bed with tubes and wires. She wanted to make her grandma happy.
+
+Lily asked her mom what she could do. Her mom said they could wrap a gift for her grandma. Lily liked to wrap gifts. She found some paper with flowers and a ribbon with a bow. She helped her mom wrap a book that her grandma liked to read. She wrote her name on a card with a crayon.
+
+They went to the hospital and found her grandma's room. Lily saw her grandma smile when she saw them. Lily gave her the gift and said, "I love you, grandma." Her grandma hugged her and thanked her. She said, "You are such a sweet and modest girl, Lily. You always think of others. This is a beautiful gift. Thank you, my dear."
+
+Lily felt happy and proud. She sat on her grandma's lap and read the book with her. Her mom took a picture of them. They had a nice time together. Lily hoped her grandma would get better soon. She said a prayer for her. She knew her grandma loved her very much.
+Tom and Sue like to create things with their toys. They have blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. They make houses, roads, schools, and farms. They have fun playing together.
+
+One day, they decide to create a fruit shop. They use their blocks to make a table and a sign. They use their dolls and animals as customers. They find some fruit in the kitchen and put it on the table. They have apples, bananas, oranges, and grapes.
+
+"Welcome to our fruit shop!" Tom says. "What would you like to buy?"
+
+"I would like some grapes, please," Sue says, pretending to be a doll. "They are my favorite fruit."
+
+"Here you are," Tom says, giving her some grapes. "That will be two coins, please."
+
+Sue gives him two coins and takes the grapes. She pretends to eat them and makes a happy sound.
+
+"Thank you for coming to our fruit shop," Tom says. "Have a nice day!"
+
+They play like this for a while, selling and buying different fruits. They are having a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Max. He smells the fruit and wants some too. He runs into the room and jumps on the table. He knocks over the blocks and the sign. He grabs the fruit and runs away.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Tom and Sue shout. "That is our fruit!"
+
+They chase after Max, but he is too fast. He eats all the fruit and leaves nothing for them.
+
+Tom and Sue are sad and angry. They look at their ruined fruit shop. They have no more fruit to play with.
+
+They go back to the kitchen and tell their mom what happened. She listens and hugs them.
+
+"I'm sorry, my dears," she says. "Max was very naughty. He should not have taken your fruit."
+
+She opens the fridge and takes out a big bowl. It is full of more fruit. She has strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and pineapples.
+
+"Look what I have for you," she says. "Some more fruit for your shop. And for a snack. You can have as much as you want."
+
+Tom and Sue are surprised and happy. They thank their mom and take the bowl. They go back to their room and rebuild their fruit shop. They have more fruit than before. They think they are very lucky.
+
+They share the fruit with their dolls and animals. They even save some for Max. They forgive him and let him join their game. They all enjoy the fruit and have fun.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big sack near the slide. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tim says. He pulls the sack. Jen helps him.
+
+Inside the sack, they see many clothes. They are colorful and shiny. They look new and pretty.
+
+"Wow!" Jen says. "These are nice clothes. Can we wear them?"
+
+"Yes!" Tim says. "Let's try them on. We can pretend to be princes and princesses."
+
+They take out the clothes and wear them. They feel happy and fancy. They run and dance in the park. They forget about the sack.
+
+But the sack is not theirs. It belongs to a lady. She is poor and has no home. She works hard to buy the clothes. She wants to sell them and get some money. She is grateful for the clothes.
+
+She comes back to the park. She looks for the sack. She does not see it. She sees Tim and Jen. They are wearing her clothes. They are dirty and torn. She feels angry and sad.
+
+"Hey!" she shouts. "Those are my clothes! Give them back!"
+
+Tim and Jen are scared. They do not know what to do. They try to run away. But the lady is faster. She catches them. She takes off the clothes. She hits them. She scolds them.
+
+"You are bad children!" she says. "You stole my clothes! You ruined them! You owe me money!"
+
+Tim and Jen cry. They are sorry. They are hurt. They have no money. They wish they never opened the sack. They learned a hard lesson.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a doll that could clap her hands. Lily loved to make the doll clap and sing along with her.
+
+One day, Lily was playing with her doll in her room. She heard her mom call her for lunch. Lily did not want to stop playing, so she ignored her mom. She kept making the doll clap and sing louder and louder.
+
+Her mom called her again, but Lily still did not listen. She thought she could play for a little longer. She did not know that her mom was getting angry.
+
+Her mom came to her room and saw Lily playing with her doll. She was very upset. She said, "Lily, you did not obey me. You have to come for lunch when I call you. You are being rude and selfish. Now you have to go to the bathroom and stay there until I say you can come out."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not like the bathroom. It was dark and cold and boring. She did not want to go there. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. Please don't make me go to the bathroom."
