He says he and his horse are best friends. +Lily liked to play with her toy cars. She had many cars of different colors and sizes. She liked to make them zoom and beep on the floor. Sometimes, she pretended to be a mechanic and fix them with her tools. + +One day, she found a new car in her toy box. It was shiny and silver, with big wheels and lights. It looked very modern. Lily was curious and wanted to play with it. She picked it up and pressed a button. The car made a loud noise and started to move by itself. + +Lily was surprised and happy. She followed the car as it rolled around the room. She tried to catch it and press the button again, but the car was too fast. It went under the bed, behind the sofa, and over the rug. Lily laughed and ran after it. + +But then, the car did something strange. It stopped near the kitchen and turned towards the table. On the table, there was a plate of cookies that Lily's mom had baked. The car opened its mouth and ate a cookie. Lily gasped and shouted, "No, car, no! That's my cookie!" + +The car did not listen. It ate another cookie, and another, and another. It ate all the cookies on the plate. Lily was angry and sad. She ran to the car and grabbed it. She tried to pull it away from the table, but the car was too strong. It bit Lily's hand and made her cry. + +Lily's mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily holding the car and crying, and the empty plate of cookies. She was confused and worried. She took the car from Lily and looked at it. She saw a label on the bottom. It said, "Robo-Car. A modern toy for smart kids. Warning: Do not feed. It will eat anything." + +Lily's mom realized that the car was not a toy, but a robot. She did not know who had put it in Lily's toy box, or why. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. This is not a good car. It is a bad robot. It should not eat your cookies, or hurt you. We will get rid of it, and get you a new car. A real toy car. One that you can play with and fix, like a mechanic." + +Lily nodded and sniffed. She was still upset, but she felt better. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my toy cars. But not this one. This one is naughty and mean. Bye-bye, robo-car. You are not my friend." +Sam liked to work with his dad in the garage. He helped him fix cars and bikes and tools. Sometimes, dad let him use the flame to make things hot and melt them together. Sam thought the flame was cool and bright and fun. + +One day, dad had to go to the store and get some more things. He told Sam to stay in the garage and be careful. He said, "Don't touch the flame, Sam. It can hurt you very bad. Wait for me to come back, okay?" Sam nodded and said, "Okay, dad. I will be good." + +But Sam was bored and curious. He saw the flame on the table, next to a big metal thing. He wondered what would happen if he touched the flame to the metal thing. He thought it would make a nice sound or a pretty spark. He reached for the flame, but he did not see the gas can behind the table. + +The flame touched the gas can and made a big boom. The garage was on fire. Sam was scared and screamed. He ran out of the garage and saw dad coming back. Dad saw the fire and Sam and was angry and worried. He said, "Sam, what did you do? You could have been hurt or worse. Why did you touch the flame?" + +Sam felt bad and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to see what would happen. I didn't know it would make a fire. Please don't be mad at me." Dad hugged Sam and said, "I'm glad you're okay, Sam. But you have to listen to me and be gentle with the flame. It can be dangerous and cause a lot of damage. Do you understand?" Sam nodded and said, "I understand, dad. I won't touch the flame again. I love you, dad." Dad said, "I love you too, Sam. But we have to call the firemen and fix the garage now." +Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and run around the house. Sometimes they are clumsy and bump into things.

He thinks it is like a big ice cube. He wants to dive on it and slide down. He runs and jumps and dives on the refrigerator. + +But the refrigerator is not soft and smooth like the water. It is hard and rough and hurts Ben. He bumps his head and his nose and his knees. He cries and feels sad and sore. He wishes he did not dive on the refrigerator. + +Mom hears Ben cry and comes to the kitchen. She sees Ben on the floor and the refrigerator with a dent. She hugs Ben and kisses his boo-boos. She tells him the refrigerator is not for diving, it is for keeping food cold and fresh. She tells him he can dive in the pool or the bath or the bed, but not in the kitchen. + +Ben says he is sorry and he learns his lesson. He does not dive on the refrigerator anymore. He dives in the places that are safe and fun and nice. He still likes to dive, but he is more careful and smart. He is a good boy and Mom is proud of him. +Tim was a sailor. He liked to sail on the big water with his friends. They had a boat with a big white cloth. The cloth helped the boat go fast with the wind. + +One day, the wind was very strong. It made big waves on the water. The boat went up and down, up and down. Tim and his friends were scared. The wind broke the big white cloth. The boat could not go fast anymore. + +Tim and his friends tried to fix the cloth, but they could not. They had no more cloth. They had no more wind. They had no more friends. They were lonely. + +They saw a small island. They used a stick and a rope to make a new cloth. They sailed to the island. They hoped to find help. + +On the island, they saw a house.

They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. They looked out the window and saw a big billboard. It had a picture of a dog and some words. + +"What does it say?" Sara asked. + +Ben tried to read the words. He knew some letters, but not all. He said, "It says... L-O-S-T. Lost. D-O-G. Dog. R-E-W-A-R-D. Reward. C-A-L-L. Call. And a number." + +"What does that mean?" Sara asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He said, "It means someone lost their dog and they want to find it. They will give money to the person who finds it. They want people to call them if they see the dog." + +Sara felt sad for the person who lost their dog. She said, "I wish we could help them. I love dogs." + +Ben had an idea. He said, "Maybe we can. Let's search for the dog. Maybe it is hiding somewhere near our house. We can take our umbrellas and look around." + +Sara liked the idea. She said, "OK, let's go. But we have to be careful. And we have to tell mom where we are going." + +They put on their coats and boots and grabbed their umbrellas. They told their mom they were going to search for the lost dog. Their mom said, "Be careful and don't go too far. And come back soon." + +Sara and Ben nodded and went outside. They looked under cars, behind bushes, in trash cans, and in alleys. They did not see the dog. They saw other things, like a cat, a bird, a rat, and a can. But no dog. + +They were about to give up when they saw something mysterious. It was a big box with a hole in it. It was behind a fence. They heard a noise from inside the box. It sounded like a bark. + +They ran to the fence and looked through the hole. They saw the dog from the billboard. It was brown and white and had a red collar. It looked scared and wet. + +Sara and Ben were happy. They said, "We found you!

We are near the billboard. Can you come and get it?" + +The voice said, "Oh, thank you, thank you. You are very kind. I will be there in a minute. What are your names?" + +Sara said, "I am Sara and this is Ben. We like dogs." + +The voice said, "I am Tom. I am the owner of the dog. His name is Spot. He ran away from me yesterday. I was very worried. You are very brave and smart to search for him. I will give you a reward." + +Sara and Ben said, "You're welcome. We are happy to help. We don't need a reward. We just want Spot to be safe and happy." + +They waited for Tom to arrive. They talked to Spot through the hole. They told him jokes and stories.

You are very good kids." + +Sara and Ben smiled. They said, "We had fun. We learned a new word. We searched for a dog. We solved a mystery. We are very happy kids." +Anna and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to run, slide, swing and climb. One day, they saw a big cloud of mist near the pond. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go, Anna!" Ben said. "Maybe there are fairies or dragons in the mist!" + +"No, Ben, we can't!" Anna said. "Mommy told us to stay away from the pond.

She did not want to lose her brother. + +They felt wet and cold in the mist. They could not see anything. They heard a loud roar. It was a dragon! The dragon was angry.

They were gone. + +Mommy came to the park to look for Anna and Ben. She saw the mist and the dragon. She was very sad and scared. She wished Anna and Ben had been obedient. She wished they had stayed away from the pond. She wished they had not been destroyed by the dragon. +Lila and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing was to go to the tunnel. The tunnel was big and dark and cool. They liked to pretend it was a secret cave or a spaceship or a castle. + +One day, they went to the tunnel with their mom. Mom said they could play for a while, but they had to be careful and stay close. Lila and Ben nodded and ran to the tunnel. They decided to play pirates. Lila was the captain and Ben was the mate. They had a stick for a sword and a hat for a bandana. + +They had fun fighting and sailing and finding treasure. But then they heard a loud noise. It was a train. The train was coming to the tunnel.

They saw the train getting closer and closer. + +Mom saw them too. She was worried. She ran to the tunnel and shouted their names. She saw them in the middle of the tunnel, frozen with fear. She did not have time to think. She ran into the tunnel and lifted them up. She carried them to the other side, just in time. The train zoomed past them, making a loud whistle. + +Lila and Ben hugged their mom. They were safe. They were sorry for being naughty. Mom hugged them back. She was happy they were okay. She was proud of being brave. She told them they should never play in the tunnel again. They agreed. They did not like the train. They liked the park. They went back to the slide, the swing, and the grass. It was peaceful and quiet. They played and laughed and forgot about the tunnel. +Ben was a gifted boy. He could draw very well.

Isn't it beautiful?" + +Ben looked at the collage. He saw his drawings cut and glued on a big paper. He saw his lion, his truck, his family, and his flowers. He felt sad and angry.

I wanted to surprise you. I thought you would like the collage. I worked hard on it. It's a gift for you. You should be thankful and happy." + +Ben said, "No, mom, it's not a gift. It's a mess. You took my drawings without asking me. You don't care about me. You don't love me." He ran to his room and slammed the door. He cried on his bed. He wished he had his drawings back. He wished his mom understood him. He felt alone and hurt. He didn't want to talk to his mom anymore. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. They have a big toy box with many toys. They can share the toys, but sometimes they want the same toy. + +One day, they both want the red car. Ben grabs the car and says, "Mine!" Mia cries and says, "No, mine!" They pull the car and make a loud noise. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees Ben and Mia fighting over the car. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! You need to learn to take turns. You can both play with the car, but not at the same time. Ben, you can play with the car for five minutes, then you give it to Mia. Mia, you can play with the car for five minutes, then you give it back to Ben. Can you do that?" + +Ben and Mia nod. They want to make Mom happy. They also want to play with the car. Ben says, "OK, I go first." He takes the car and zooms it around the floor. Mia watches and waits. She is patient. She counts to five in her head. + +When Ben is done, he gives the car to Mia.

They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird fly in the sky. They want to fly too. + +"Let's make wings with paper and dust!" Anna says. She finds some paper and dust on the ground. She sticks them together with glue. + +"Look, I have wings!" Anna says. She puts them on her arms and runs. She tries to fly, but she falls. + +"Ouch!" Anna says. She cries. Her wings are broken. + +Ben laughs. He thinks Anna is silly. He says, "You can't fly with paper and dust. You need feathers and wind." + +Anna is angry. She says, "You are mean. You don't know anything. Paper and dust are magic. They can make me fly." + +Ben says, "No, they can't. You are lying. Show me how you fly." + +Anna says, "Fine. I will show you. But you have to close your eyes." + +Ben says, "OK. I will close my eyes. But you have to be quick." + +Anna says, "OK. I will be quick." She closes her eyes too.

Yes, you can play with me. Do you like my ball?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I like your ball. It is big and round and bouncy. Can I hold it?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, you can hold it.

He asks his mom how to get a star. + +His mom says, "You can't get a star, Ben. They are very far away and very hot. They are not for us to touch. They are for us to look at and enjoy." + +Ben is confused. He does not understand why he can't have a star. He thinks they are like prizes. He says, "But I want a star, mom. I want a prize. I am good and I do my chores. Can I have a star, please?" + +His mom smiles and hugs him. She says, "You are good, Ben, and I am proud of you. But a star is not a prize you can have. A prize is something you can hold and play with. A star is not like that. A star is a gift from God. He made them for us to see and wonder. He loves us and wants us to be happy. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods, but he is still a little sad. He says, "I understand, mom. But I still like stars. Can we gaze at them some more?" + +His mom says, "Of course, Ben.

When Tom tries to make a big loop, the wire snaps and scatters. The cars fly off the wire and crash on the floor. Some of them break and lose their wheels and doors. + +Tom and Mia are sad and scared. They cry and run to their mom. Mom sees the wire and the cars and hugs them. She tells them not to play with the wire. It is not a toy. It is dangerous. She throws the wire in the trash and helps them fix their cars. + +Tom and Mia say sorry and thank mom. They learn their lesson. They do not play with the wire anymore. They play with their cars on the floor or on a soft mat. They are careful and happy. Vroom, vroom, vroom! +Sam and Jen liked to play with their toy train. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise. They put water in the train and it made steam. The steam came out of the train's nose and made the air warm. + +One day, Sam and Jen wanted to improve their train. They thought it would be more fun if the train went faster and made more steam.

Lila says. + +They take turns to drive their cars on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They have fun. + +But then, Ben's car loses a wheel. It falls off and rolls away. Ben is sad. His car cannot go anymore. + +"Oh no, Ben, your car is broken!" Lila says. + +"It's okay, Lila. I can act like I have a wheel. I can use my hand to make it go. See?" Ben says. + +He holds his car with one hand and pretends to have a wheel with the other. He makes noises and smiles. + +Lila thinks Ben is clever. She smiles too. + +"Can I act with you, Ben?

I want to throw it in the river." + +Sue does not want to give the stone back to Tom. She holds the stone tighter and says, "No, Tom, it is my stone now. I like it more than you. You cannot have it." + +Tom and Sue start to argue and pull the stone. They both want the stone and do not want to share. They do not see the dog that is running towards them. The dog is big and brown and likes to chase things. The dog sees the stone and thinks it is a ball.

Lily turned around and saw a man. He was tall and had gray hair and glasses. He smiled at her and said "Hello, little one. What are you doing here?" + +Lily was scared and dropped the book. She did not know the man. She wanted to go back to her room. She said "Who are you? Where is my mommy?" + +The man said "Don't be afraid. I am your grandpa. I live in this chamber. I like to read books and write stories. Your mommy is downstairs. She brought you here to visit me. Do you want to meet me?" + +Lily looked at the man. He seemed nice and kind. He had a gentle voice and a warm smile. Maybe he was her grandpa. She liked books and stories too. Maybe they could read together. She said "OK. I want to meet you. Can you read me a book?" + +The man said "Of course. Come here and sit on my lap. I will read you a book. It is about a lion and a mouse. Do you like lions and mice?" + +Lily said "Yes, I do. I like all animals. Can you show me the pictures?" + +The man said "Sure. Here is the picture of the lion. He is big and strong and has a mane. And here is the picture of the mouse. He is small and cute and has a tail. Do you want to hear the story?" + +Lily said "Yes, please. Tell me the story." + +The man said "OK. Listen carefully. Once upon a time, there was a lion and a mouse..." +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. But today the park is closed. There is a sign on the gate. The sign says "No play. Park is wet." + +Tom and Sue are sad. They want to have fun. They look around. They see a big hill. The hill has a lot of trees. The trees make a dark place. + +"Let's go to the hill," Tom says. "We can play in the dark place. It will be like a cave." + +"OK," Sue says. "But we need a plan. The dark place might have bugs or animals. We need to be careful." + +Tom and Sue think. They have a plan. They get some sticks and stones. They make a path to the dark place. They follow the path. They find the dark place. It is cool and quiet. + +Tom and Sue go inside. They see a lot of things. They see rocks and roots and leaves. They see a hole in the wall. They see a shiny thing. + +"What is that?" Tom asks. He points to the shiny thing. + +"I don't know," Sue says. She picks it up. It is a coin. It has a picture of a man on it. + +"Wow," Tom says. "Maybe it is treasure. Maybe someone left it here a long time ago." + +"Maybe," Sue says. She smiles. She puts the coin in her pocket. "This is a good plan. We found a cave and a treasure. We are like explorers." + +Tom and Sue are happy. They play in the dark place. They forget about the park. They have a lot of fun. +Sam did not like soup. He thought soup was dull and wet and made his mouth hot. He wanted to eat bread and cheese and grapes for lunch, like his big sister Lily. But Mom said he had to eat soup, because soup was good for him and would make him strong and healthy. + +"No soup!" Sam said, pushing his bowl away. "Soup is yuck!" + +"Sam, you have to eat your soup," Mom said, trying to be patient. "It has carrots and potatoes and chicken in it. You like those things, don't you?" + +Sam shook his head. He did not care what was in the soup. He only saw the dull brown liquid that smelled like nothing. He crossed his arms and pouted. + +"Please, Sam, just try a little bit," Mom said, holding a spoonful of soup to his mouth. "It's not hot, I promise. It's just warm and tasty." + +Sam turned his head away. He did not want to try the soup. He insisted on eating something else. He said, "No, no, no!" + +Mom sighed. She did not know what to do with Sam. She loved him very much, but he was being very stubborn. She looked at Lily, who was eating her soup quietly and politely. She wished Sam would be more like Lily. + +Lily saw Mom's sad face. She felt sorry for Mom and Sam. She had an idea. She said to Sam, "Sam, do you want to play a game with me?" + +Sam liked games. He looked at Lily with curiosity. He said, "What game?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "It's called the soup game. We pretend that the soup is something else, like a magic potion or a treasure or a dinosaur. And we make up stories about it and eat it. It's fun!" + +Sam thought about it. He liked magic potions and treasures and dinosaurs. He liked stories and fun. He said, "Okay, I'll play the soup game." + +Lily clapped her hands. She said, "Great! Let's start. I'll go first. This soup is a magic potion that can make us fly. If we drink it, we can soar in the sky and see the clouds and the birds and the sun. Do you want to try?" + +Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, I want to fly." He took a sip of the soup. It was not so dull and wet and hot after all. It was warm and tasty and made him feel happy. He said, "Mmm, this is good!" + +Mom smiled. She was glad that Lily helped Sam to eat his soup. She said, "Well done, Lily and Sam. You are both very clever and creative. And you are both eating your soup, which is good for you. I'm proud of you." + +Lily and Sam smiled back. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. And we love soup!" They finished their bowls and asked for more. They played the soup game until they were full and satisfied. They had fun and learned to like something new. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were at the park with their mom. They saw a vendor who had a big cart with many balloons. The vendor had yellow, red, blue, and green balloons. Lily and Tom liked the yellow balloons the most. They asked their mom if they could have one. + +"Sure, you can have one balloon each. But you have to be careful and not let go of them, okay?" Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded and ran to the vendor. They each picked a yellow balloon and said thank you. The vendor smiled and tied the balloons to their wrists. + +Lily and Tom were very happy with their balloons. They ran around the park, playing and laughing. They saw a big slide and decided to go on it. They climbed up the stairs and waited for their turn. + +But then, a loud noise made them jump. It was a dog barking. The dog was big and black and had sharp teeth. It ran towards them, wagging its tail. Lily and Tom were scared. They thought the dog wanted to bite them or pop their balloons. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "Mom! Mom!" + +Mom heard their cries and ran to them. She saw the dog and recognized it. It was Rex, the neighbor's dog. Rex was friendly and playful, but he liked to chase balloons. + +"Rex, no! Bad dog!" Mom shouted. She grabbed Rex by the collar and pulled him away from Lily and Tom. She apologized to the vendor, who was also scared by the dog. + +"Are you okay, kids?" Mom asked, hugging Lily and Tom. + +"Yes, Mom. But we were scared. The dog was scary," Lily said. + +"I know, honey. But he didn't mean to scare you. He just wanted to play with your balloons. He likes balloons, too," Mom said. + +"Really?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, really. Look, he is wagging his tail. He is sorry, too," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom looked at Rex. He looked sad and sorry. He licked Mom's hand and wagged his tail. + +"Maybe he is not so scary after all," Lily said. + +"Maybe not. But we still have to be careful around him. He might pop our balloons," Tom said. + +"True. Let's go to the other side of the park, where there are no dogs. And let's hold on to our balloons tight, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom," Lily and Tom said. + +They walked away from the vendor and the dog, holding their yellow balloons. They were still happy, but they were also glad that Mom was with them. They felt safe and loved. +Lila was a spoiled girl who always wanted more toys. She had a lot of toys, but she never shared them with anyone. She liked to play with her purple doll, but she never hugged it or said nice things to it. She just threw it around and pulled its hair. + +One day, Lila saw a new toy in the store. It was a big purple bear that could talk and sing. Lila wanted it very much, but her mom said no. She said Lila had enough toys and she should be happy with what she had. Lila got very angry and started to cry and scream. She kicked and hit her mom and said she hated her. + +Her mom was very sad and tried to calm Lila down, but Lila did not listen. She ran away from her mom and grabbed the purple bear from the shelf. She tried to go out of the store with it, but a man stopped her. He said she had to pay for the bear or give it back. Lila did not want to do either. She bit the man and ran away again. + +She thought she was clever and fast, but she did not see the big truck that was coming on the road.

It is the best kite ever!" + +"My kite is good too, Ben," Anna said. "It is pink and purple and has a star. It is very pretty." + +They played for a long time, until they were thirsty. They saw a fountain near the trees. They ran to the fountain to drink some water. + +"Ah, this water is cold and fresh," Ben said. "It makes me feel better." + +Anna nodded. She bent down to drink from the fountain too. But as she did, a big gust of wind blew her kite away. She did not see it. She only heard Ben scream. + +"Anna, your kite!" Ben shouted. "It is flying away! It is going to the road!" + +Anna looked up. She saw her kite in the air, far from her. She saw a car on the road, coming fast. She saw her kite fall on the car. She saw the car swerve and crash. She saw smoke and fire and people screaming. + +Anna was scared. She dropped her water and ran to Ben. They hugged and cried. They wished they had a normal day. They wished they had their kites. They wished they had not drank from the fountain. +Lily liked elephants. She had a toy elephant that she hugged every night.

It was an elephant! The elephant came out of the hiding place and walked to the fence. It looked at Lily and Mommy with big brown eyes. It made the loud noise again.

The bird is alive and it has a family. You will make it sad and hurt!" + +Ben and Lily disagreed. They both wanted to play with the arrows, but they had different ideas. Ben wanted to shoot at the animals, and Lily wanted to shoot at the targets. + +They started to argue and shout. They did not listen to each other. They were so loud that they did not hear their mom calling them. + +Their mom was deaf. She could not hear the sounds, but she could see their faces. She saw that they were angry and unhappy. She walked to them and signed with her hands. + +"What is wrong, my loves?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +Ben and Lily stopped and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed. They loved their mom and they did not want to make her sad. + +They told her what they were doing and why they disagreed. Their mom smiled and hugged them. + +"I understand," she said. "You both like to play with the arrows, but you have different ways. That is okay. You can have different opinions, but you have to respect each other. You have to listen and talk and find a solution. Maybe you can take turns, or find a new game that you both like. What do you think?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry and they hugged their mom. They decided to play with the arrows in a different way. They made a big circle on the ground and tried to hit the center. They had fun and they did not disagree anymore. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and learn new things. They have a dog named Max. Max is very intelligent. He can do many tricks, like sit, roll and fetch. + +One day, Anna and Ben are having breakfast with their mom and dad. They have eggs, toast and sausage. Max smells the sausage and wants some too. He sits by the table and looks at Anna and Ben with his big brown eyes. + +"Can we give Max some sausage, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Sorry, honey, but sausage is not good for dogs. It can make them sick," mom says. + +"But Max is so hungry and he loves sausage," Ben says. + +"I know, but we have to take care of him and give him healthy food. How about you give him some of your toast instead?" dad says. + +Anna and Ben think for a moment. They love Max and they want him to be happy and healthy. They decide to share their toast with Max. They break off a piece and hold it out for him. + +"Here, Max, this is for you. We love you, boy," Anna says. + +Max wags his tail and takes the toast gently from Anna's hand. He chews it and licks his lips. He looks at Ben and hopes for more. + +"Good boy, Max. You are so smart and polite. Here, have some more toast," Ben says.
