He is sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, kids. I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you were stealing my shrimp. You can have some if you want. They are fresh and good." + +Tom and Sam say, "Thank you, sir. We are sorry, too. We didn't know they were yours. We like shrimp, but we don't like to make you mad." + +Their mom and dad say, "Thank you, sir. That is very kind of you. We are glad you are not mad. We are glad our kids are safe." + +They all smile and talk and share the shrimp. They become friends. They learn to respect each other and the sea. They have a good day. +Tom and Amy were playing outside in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. They saw some big dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a drum. + +"What is that?" Amy asked. + +"That is thunder," Tom said. "It comes with lightning." + +"What is lightning?" Amy asked. + +"Lightning is a bright flash of light that comes from the clouds. It is very fast and very hot. Sometimes it can make a fire," Tom said. + +"Wow, that sounds scary," Amy said. + +They saw a flash of lightning in the distance. It was yellow and white and zigzagged across the sky. They counted to see how long it took for the thunder to come. One, two, three, four, five. + +"That was a far away lightning," Tom said. + +They saw another flash of lightning, closer and brighter. It was blue and purple and forked like a snake. They counted again. One, two, three. + +"That was a closer lightning," Amy said. + +They saw another flash of lightning, right above them. It was red and orange and filled the whole sky. They did not have time to count. The thunder came right away, louder than ever. It made them jump and cover their ears. + +"That was a very close lightning," Tom and Amy said together. + +They were scared and ran to find their mom and dad. They were sitting on a bench under a big tree. They had a book and a newspaper, but they looked bored and dull. + +"Mom, dad, we saw lightning!" Tom and Amy said. + +"Really? We did not see anything. It was too dull and cloudy," mom said. + +"You missed it. It was amazing. It was bright and colorful and noisy," Amy said. + +"Maybe you can tell us about it later. We should go home now. It looks like it is going to rain," dad said. + +They packed their things and walked to the car. Tom and Amy looked at the sky and hoped to see more lightning. They wanted to meet it again. +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small car. They run and laugh and have fun. One day, they see a new animal in the park. It is big and orange and has black stripes. It is a tiger! + +"Wow, look at the tiger!" Ben says. "It is so pretty and strong. Can we go and say hello?" + +Mia is scared. She shakes her head. "No, Ben, we can't. The tiger is not nice. It can bite and scratch. We have to stay away." + +But Ben is curious. He wants to see the tiger up close. He leaves the ball and the car and walks to the tiger. The tiger sees Ben and growls. It shows its sharp teeth and claws. It is hungry and angry. + +"Ben, come back!" Mia shouts. "The tiger is bad. It will hurt you. Run, run, run!" + +Ben hears Mia and feels afraid. He turns around and runs to Mia. The tiger chases Ben and roars. It is fast and fierce. Ben and Mia are in danger. + +Then, they hear a loud noise. It is a man with a gun. He shoots the tiger and makes it fall. The tiger is pale and still. It does not move or make a sound. It is dead. The man has saved Ben and Mia. + +"Are you okay, kids?" the man asks. "That was a wild tiger. It escaped from the zoo. It should not be here. It is very dangerous. You are lucky I was here." + +Ben and Mia nod. They are okay, but they are sad and sorry. They did not want the tiger to die. They hug each other and cry. They wish the tiger was back in the zoo, where it belongs. They learn a lesson. They will never go near a wild animal again. The end. +Lily liked to read books. She read books about cats, dogs, birds, and fish. She read books in her room, in the garden, and in the car. She read books every day. + +One day, Lily found a new book in the library. It was a book about tuna. Tuna was a big fish that lived in the sea. Lily wanted to read the book and learn more about tuna. She took the book home and put it on her bed. + +After lunch, Lily went to her room to read the book. But when she opened the door, she saw something strange. Her cat, Milo, was on her bed. And he was not sleeping. He was eating the book about tuna! + +Lily was very angry and sad. She shouted at Milo and tried to take the book away. But Milo was faster and ran away with the book in his mouth. He hid under the sofa and kept eating the book. + +Lily cried and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said she was sorry. She said she would buy her another book about tuna. She said Milo was a regular cat who liked to eat fish. She said Lily should not leave her books on the bed. + +Lily learned a lesson. She loved to read books, but she also loved her cat. She decided to keep her books in a safe place and to share her tuna with Milo. She hoped Milo would not eat her new book. She hoped he would like to read it with her. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many vehicles: cars, trucks, buses, and trains. They make noises and pretend to drive them. + +One day, they find a big vehicle in the street. It is red and shiny. It has a ladder and a hose. It is a fire truck. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see inside. + +They climb on the fire truck. They see buttons and levers. They see helmets and coats. They see a radio and a siren. They think it is fun. They start to play with the fire truck. + +"Look, I am a fireman!" Ben says. He puts on a helmet and a coat. He pulls a lever. The ladder goes up and down. + +"Look, I am a firewoman!" Lily says. She puts on a helmet and a coat. She pushes a button. The siren goes on and off. + +They laugh and giggle. They do not see the fireman coming back. He is angry. He sees the twins on his fire truck. He shouts at them. + +"Hey, what are you doing? Get off my fire truck! You are not supposed to be here! You are in big trouble!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They try to get off the fire truck. But they are too high. They slip and fall. They hurt themselves. They cry and scream. + +The fireman calls for help. He tries to calm them down. He says he is sorry. He says he did not mean to scare them. He says they need to go to the hospital. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They wish they did not play with the fire truck. They wish they listened to their mom. She told them not to go near the street. She told them to sleep in their beds. They say they are sorry. They say they will never do it again. +Lily likes to talk to her print. Her print is a big book with many pictures and words. She got it from her grandma, who is very wise. Grandma says print can help Lily learn new things and have fun. + +One day, Lily talks to her print about animals. She sees a lion, a bird, a fish and a frog. She asks them questions, like what they eat, where they live and how they sound. She pretends they talk back to her and tell her stories. + +But then, Lily hears a loud noise. It is her brother, Tom. He wants to play with her print. He grabs it and runs away. Lily is sad and angry. She wants her print back. She chases Tom and shouts at him. "Give me my print! It is mine!" + +Tom does not listen. He thinks Lily is silly. He says print is boring and he can make it better. He takes a crayon and draws on the print. He makes the lion blue, the bird red, the fish green and the frog yellow. He laughs and says they look funny. + +Lily is very upset. She cries and runs to grandma. She tells her what Tom did. Grandma hugs Lily and looks at the print. She says Tom was wrong and he should say sorry. She says print is precious and we should respect it. She says Lily is very wise to talk to her print and learn from it. She says she will help Lily fix the print and make it beautiful again. Lily smiles and thanks grandma. She loves her print and her grandma. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. Tim has a big box of toys. Sam has a small bag of toys. One day, Sam sees a shiny magnet in Tim's box. He wants to play with it. + +"Can I lend your magnet, Tim?" Sam asks. + +"No, it is mine. You have your own toys," Tim says. + +"But I like your magnet. It is so shiny and strong. Please, Tim, let me lend it for a little while," Sam begs. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Sam. You are not my friend," Tim says. He pushes Sam away. + +Sam feels sad and angry. He wants to have the magnet. He thinks of a plan. He waits until Tim is busy with another toy. Then he sneaks to the box and grabs the magnet. He runs away with it. + +"Hey, that is my magnet! Give it back, Sam!" Tim shouts. He chases Sam. + +Sam runs to the kitchen. He sees a big fridge. He thinks the fridge is a good place to hide the magnet. He sticks the magnet to the fridge door. He smiles. + +"Ha, ha, ha. Now you can't get your magnet, Tim. It is mine now," Sam says. + +But Sam does not know that the magnet is very strong. It sticks to the fridge so hard that Sam can't pull it off. He tries and tries, but the magnet does not move. He feels helpless. + +"Help, help, help. I can't get the magnet off the fridge. Help me, Tim," Sam cries. + +Tim hears Sam's cry. He runs to the kitchen. He sees Sam struggling with the magnet. He feels sorry for Sam. + +"Here, let me help you, Sam," Tim says. He uses both his hands to pull the magnet off the fridge. He gives it back to Sam. + +"Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend. I am sorry I took your magnet. Can we share it?" Sam says. + +"Sure, Sam. We can share it. I am sorry I was mean to you. You are a good friend, too," Tim says. + +They hug and smile.

He has a floaty. + +One day, they go to the pool with their moms. They see a famous star. The star is on TV. He is funny and smart. He has a big hat and sunglasses. He sits by the pool. He does not swim. + +Lily and Ben want to say hello to the star. They are excited. They zip to the star. They smile and wave. + +"Hello, star!" Lily says. "We like your show. Can we have a picture?" + +The star does not smile. He does not wave. He frowns. He says, "Go away, kids. You are bothering me. I want to relax. You are too loud and wet." + +Lily and Ben are sad. They feel bad. They did not mean to bother the star. They go back to their moms. They tell them what happened. + +Their moms hug them. They say, "Don't worry, kids. The star is not nice. He is rude and mean. You are better than him. You are kind and sweet. You can play in the pool. You can have fun. You can be happy." + +Lily and Ben nod. They agree. They forget about the star. They play in the pool. They swim and splash. They laugh and sing. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily wanted to help Mommy with the laundry. She saw a big pile of clothes on the bed. She picked up a shirt and tried to fold it. It was hard. She made a ball with the shirt and put it in the drawer. She did the same with a sock, a skirt and a hat. She was proud of her work. + +Mommy came into the room and saw the drawer. She opened it and frowned. The clothes were all wrinkled and squished. She took them out and put them back on the bed. She said to Lily, "Thank you for trying to help, but this is not how we fold clothes. They will be uncomfortable to wear if they are like this. Let me show you how to do it right." + +She took the shirt and smoothed it out. She folded it in half and then in half again. She put it in the drawer. She said, "See? Now it is flat and neat. It will be comfortable to wear. Can you try to do the same with the sock?" She handed Lily the sock. + +Lily nodded. She wanted to make Mommy happy. She copied what Mommy did with the shirt. She folded the sock in half and then in half again. She put it in the drawer. She smiled. She said, "Like this?" + +Mommy smiled back. She said, "Yes, like this. Good job, Lily. You are a good helper. Do you want to help me with the rest of the clothes?" She gave Lily a hug. + +Lily nodded again. She liked to help Mommy. She liked to learn new things. She liked to fold clothes. She said, "Yes, please. I want to help." She picked up the skirt and followed Mommy's instructions. She felt happy. +Anna loves to paint. She has many colors of paint and many brushes. She likes to paint pictures of flowers, animals, and rainbows. She paints on paper, on cardboard, and sometimes on the wall. + +One day, Anna finds a new place to paint. It is the closet in her room. The closet is big and white and boring. Anna thinks it needs some color. She takes her yellow paint and her biggest brush and goes inside the closet. She paints the walls and the door and the floor. She paints a big sun and a happy face and a star. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" Mommy asks. She hears Anna singing in the closet. She opens the door and sees the yellow paint everywhere. She is very surprised and angry. + +"Anna, you made a big mess! You cannot paint the closet! You have to clean it up!" Mommy says. + +"But Mommy, I made it pretty! Look, it is yellow like the sun!" Anna says. She shows Mommy her painting. She is very proud and happy. + +Mommy sighs. She loves Anna, but she does not like the yellow closet. She takes Anna by the hand and brings her to the bathroom. She washes the paint off Anna's hands and face and clothes. She tells Anna to say sorry and to help her clean the closet. + +Anna says sorry. She is sad that Mommy is not happy with her painting. She helps Mommy wipe the paint off the closet. She learns that she can only paint on paper, on cardboard, and sometimes on the wall. She promises to be more careful next time. Mommy hugs her and tells her she loves her. She also tells her she likes her pictures of flowers, animals, and rainbows. She hangs them on the fridge. Anna smiles. She still loves to paint. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together in their room. They have many toys and books and games. Sometimes they pretend to be pirates or astronauts or superheroes. + +One night, Anna and Ben are ready to sleep. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They hug their mom and dad and say good night. They climb into their beds and turn off the light. + +But Anna and Ben are not sleepy. They whisper to each other in the dark. They tell each other stories and jokes and secrets. They giggle and laugh and have fun. + +Suddenly, Anna sees something on the wall. It is a big, dark shape. It looks like a monster. Anna is scared. She grabs Ben's hand and says, "Ben, look! There is a shadow on the wall! It is a monster!" + +Ben looks at the wall. He sees the shadow too. But he is not scared. He is smart. He knows what it is. He says, "Anna, don't be afraid. It is not a monster. It is our lamp. The lamp makes the shadow. See? If I move the lamp, the shadow changes. Look, now it is a bunny. Now it is a bird. Now it is a star." + +Anna looks at the wall. She sees the shadow change. She realizes Ben is right. It is not a monster. It is the lamp. She feels silly. She says, "Oh, Ben, you are so smart. You know everything. Thank you for showing me. It is not a monster. It is the lamp. It is just a shadow." + +Anna and Ben smile at each other. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They say good night to each other. They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of bunnies and birds and stars. They dream of playing together in their room. They dream of being pirates or astronauts or superheroes. They dream of being twins. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They had a big cloth that they used as a tent. They put the cloth over a tree and crawled inside. + +"Let's pretend we are lions," said Tom. "We can roar and scare everyone." + +"OK," said Lily. "But we have to be quiet first. Then we can surprise them." + +They waited under the cloth. They heard their mom call them for lunch. + +"Tom, Lily, come inside. It's time to eat." + +They did not answer. They wanted to delay lunch. They wanted to play more. + +They heard their dad come out. He was looking for them. + +"Where are you, kids? Mom is waiting." + +He walked around the garden. He came near the tree. + +Tom and Lily got ready. They opened their mouths and roared. + +"Rrrrrr!" + +Their dad jumped back. He saw the cloth move. He smiled. + +"Wow, what fierce lions you are," he said. "But you know what? Lions also need to eat. Come on, let's go inside. Mom has made your favorite soup." + +Tom and Lily crawled out of the cloth. They hugged their dad. They were hungry now. + +"OK, dad," they said. "But can we play lions again later?" + +"Sure, you can," he said. "But first, let's wash your paws. They are very dirty." + +They laughed and ran inside. They had fun playing lions. They also liked eating soup. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They swing, slide and run. They have fun. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. It is not nice. It barks and growls. It chases Tim and Mia. They are scared. + +"Help!" Tim shouts. "Go away, dog!" + +Mia sees an open gate. She pulls Tim. They run to the gate. They go out. The dog can not follow. It is stuck. + +Tim and Mia are safe. They hug. They are happy. + +But they miss the park. They want to play there again. They hope the dog will leave. + +"Maybe we can go back tomorrow," Mia says. "Maybe the dog will be gone." + +"Or maybe we can find another park," Tim says. "One with no dogs." + +They nod. They hold hands. They walk home. They are still friends. +Tommy loved to play in the park with his mom. He liked to run, slide, swing and climb. He also liked to watch the squirrels that lived in the trees. They were fast, furry and funny. + +One day, Tommy saw a very big squirrel with a long, bushy tail. He was so enthusiastic that he ran after it, trying to get closer. He did not hear his mom calling his name. He did not see where he was going. He only saw the squirrel. + +"Hey, little boy, where are you going?" a voice asked. Tommy stopped and looked around. He saw a man with a hat and a badge. He was a park ranger. He looked kind, but serious. + +"I'm following the squirrel," Tommy said, pointing at the tree where the squirrel had disappeared. + +"You can't do that, little boy. You have to stay with your mom. She is looking for you. She is very worried. You forgot to listen to her," the park ranger said. + +Tommy felt a pang in his chest. He forgot to listen to his mom. He forgot to stay with her. He was a bad boy. He started to cry. + +"Don't cry, little boy. It's okay. We all make mistakes sometimes. Let's go find your mom. She will be happy to see you," the park ranger said, taking Tommy's hand. + +Tommy nodded and wiped his tears. He hoped his mom was not angry with him. He hoped she still loved him. He learned a lesson that day. He learned to never forget to listen to his mom. He also learned that squirrels are not worth chasing. +Tom and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big pot, some spoons, and some things from the fridge. + +"Let's make soup!" said Tom. He put some water in the pot and turned on the stove. "What should we put in the soup?" + +Mia looked around and saw a white thing with many little parts. She did not know what it was. She picked it up and showed it to Tom. "What is this?" she asked. + +Tom paused. He did not know either. He had never seen it before. It looked different from the other things they had. He shrugged. "Maybe it is a flower," he said. + +"A flower?" Mia said. She smelled it. It did not smell like a flower. It smelled like nothing. She tasted it. It did not taste like a flower. It tasted like nothing. She made a face. "This is a bad flower," she said. + +Tom laughed. He took the white thing from Mia and broke it into smaller parts. He threw them into the pot. "Maybe it will be good in the soup," he said. + +Mia nodded. She hoped so. She found some carrots and potatoes and cut them with a plastic knife. She added them to the pot too. They stirred the soup and waited for it to boil. + +They did not know that the white thing was a cauliflower. They did not know that their mom was watching them from the door. She smiled and decided to let them have their fun. She knew they would learn new things every day. She was proud of them for being curious and creative. She was also glad they liked to play together. She loved them very much. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked the clock best. The clock had a big face and two hands that moved. Tom and Lily liked to watch the hands and make noises like the clock. + +"Ding dong, ding dong!" Tom said, pointing at the clock. "It is time for lunch!" + +"No, it is not!" Lily said, shaking her head. "The big hand is not on the twelve. It is on the nine. You are foolish, Tom!" + +Tom was angry. He did not like to be called foolish. He grabbed the clock and ran out of the room. Lily followed him, shouting. + +"Give me back the clock, Tom! It is mine! You are a bad brother!" + +Tom ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. He saw Mom and Dad sitting at the table. They looked surprised to see him. + +"Tom, what are you doing with the clock?" Mom asked. "That is not a toy. You could break it." + +Tom did not listen. He held the clock tightly and said, "It is mine! Lily is foolish! She does not know the time!" + +Dad frowned. He took the clock from Tom and put it on the counter. He said, "Tom, you are being foolish. The clock is not yours or Lily's. It is ours. You have to share it with your sister. And you have to be nice to her. She is your sister." + +Tom felt ashamed. He knew Dad was right. He looked at Lily, who was standing at the door. She looked sad and angry. + +Tom said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was foolish. Can we play with the clock together?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I am sorry, too, Tom. I was foolish. I should not have called you bad." + +Mom and Dad smiled. They said, "That is good, Tom and Lily. We are proud of you. Now, come and have lunch. The clock says it is time." + +Tom and Lily hugged Mom and Dad. Then they went to the table and ate their lunch. They did not fight over the clock anymore. They remained friends. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with a ball in the park. They kick the ball to each other and run after it. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big pond in the park. It has water and ducks and frogs. Ben wants to kick the ball into the pond. He thinks it is funny. Sam does not want to. He says, "No, Ben, do not kick the ball into the pond. We will lose it. The water is deep and wet. The ducks and frogs will not like it." + +But Ben does not listen. He kicks the ball hard into the pond. The ball makes a splash and sinks. Ben laughs. Sam is sad and angry. He says, "Ben, you are bad. You kicked our ball into the pond. Now we cannot play with it. You are not my friend." + +Sam runs away from Ben. He does not want to play with him anymore. Ben feels sorry. He wants to get the ball back. He goes to the pond and looks for the ball. He does not see it. He sees a big rock. He thinks the rock is the ball. He reaches for the rock. + +But the rock is not the ball. The rock is a turtle. The turtle is mad. It bites Ben's hand. Ben screams. He lets go of the turtle. He runs away from the pond. He cries. He looks for Sam. He does not see him. He is alone. + +He has no ball. He has no brother. He has no friend. He has a hurt hand. He is wet and cold. The pond is deep and wet. The land is dry and hard. He is sad. He is sorry. He is bad. +Lena and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of toys in the park. They are very happy. They open the box and see many toys. There are cars, dolls, balls, and books. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Lena says. "Let's play with them!" + +"Yes, let's play!" Ben agrees. They take out some toys and start to play. They are lively and have fun. + +But soon, they want to play with the same toy. Lena sees a pink doll with a dress. She likes it very much. She reaches for it. But Ben sees it too. He likes it too. He grabs it first. + +"Hey, that's my doll!" Lena says. "Give it to me!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. "I saw it first!" + +They pull the doll from each other. They are angry. They do not share. They do not listen. They do not care. + +The doll is not strong. It breaks. The head falls off. The dress rips. The doll is ruined. + +Lena and Ben stop pulling. They look at the doll. They are sad. They are sorry. They wish they had shared. They wish they had been nice. + +But it is too late. The doll is gone. They have no toy to play with. They have no friend to play with. They cry. They are alone. They are unhappy. + +The end. +Lily was a curious girl. She liked to ask many questions and learn new things. One day, she saw a big car with red and blue lights and a loud sound. She asked her mom, "What is that car, mom?" + +Her mom said, "That is a police car, Lily. The police are people who help us and keep us safe. They follow the law, which are rules that everyone must obey." + +Lily nodded, but she wanted to know more. She asked, "Why do they have lights and sound, mom?" + +Her mom said, "They have lights and sound to tell other cars and people to move away. Sometimes, they need to go fast to catch bad people or help someone who is hurt or in trouble." + +Lily thought that was very brave and cool. She asked, "Can I be a police when I grow up, mom?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "You can be anything you want, Lily, as long as you work hard and be kind. But you also need to follow the law and respect other people. Do you understand?" + +Lily said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I want to be a good police and help people. Thank you, mom." + +Her mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you very much." +Sara wanted a puppy for her birthday. She asked her mom and dad many times, but they said no. They said puppies are too much work and too noisy. Sara was sad. She loved puppies. She wished she had a puppy to play with and cuddle. + +One day, Sara saw a sign in the pet shop window. It said "Free Puppies". Sara ran inside. She saw a big box with four puppies inside. They were black and white and brown and fluffy. They wagged their tails and licked her fingers. Sara smiled. She wanted to take one home. + +She asked the lady in the pet shop if she could have a puppy. The lady said yes, but she had to ask her parents first. Sara nodded. She picked up a brown puppy and hugged it. She said, "I will call you Spot. You are my puppy now." + +She ran out of the pet shop with Spot. She did not ask her mom and dad. She thought they would not mind. She thought they would love Spot too. She was wrong. + +She got home and opened the door. She saw her mom and dad sitting on the couch. They looked surprised and angry. They saw Spot in her arms. They said, "Sara, what have you done? Where did you get that puppy? You know you can't have a puppy. Take it back to the pet shop right now." + +Sara felt scared and sad. She did not want to take Spot back. She loved Spot. She said, "But mom, dad, please. Spot is a good puppy. He is not noisy or messy. He is useful. He can help me with my chores. He can lie on my bed and keep me warm. He can be my friend. Please, let me keep him." + +Her mom and dad looked at each other. They looked at Sara. They looked at Spot. Spot looked at them with big brown eyes. He wagged his tail. He licked Sara's cheek. He was cute and sweet. He was a puppy. + +Her mom and dad sighed. They said, "Sara, we love you. We want you to be happy. But you can't just take a puppy without asking. That is wrong. You have to be responsible and honest. You have to take care of Spot. You have to feed him and walk him and train him. You have to clean up after him. You have to be his friend too. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "I understand. I'm sorry. I will do all those things. I will be a good owner. I will be a good friend. Thank you, mom and dad. Thank you for letting me keep Spot." + +Her mom and dad smiled. They said, "You're welcome, Sara. We love you. And we love Spot too. He is a good puppy. He is useful. He can lie on the couch with us and watch TV. He can be our friend too." + +Sara hugged her mom and dad. She hugged Spot. She was happy. She had a puppy. She had a family. She had a friend. +Lily and Ben were playing in the farm. They liked to see the animals and the plants. They saw cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. They saw apples, carrots, pumpkins, and corn. + +Lily wanted to pick some corn for a snack. She saw a big yellow ear of corn on a tall green stalk. She reached for it with her hand. But Ben stopped her. + +"No, Lily, you can't pick that corn. It is not ready yet. It is still hard and sour. You have to wait until it is soft and sweet. Then the farmer will pick it and give us some. He said so." + +Lily was sad. She really wanted some corn. She did not want to wait. She thought Ben was mean. She said, "How do you know it is not ready? Did you taste it? Maybe it is good. Let me try. Please, Ben, please." + +Ben shook his head. He said, "No, Lily, I did not taste it. But I can guess. I can guess by the sound. Listen, Lily, listen. When the corn is ready, it makes a soft sound when you touch it. Like this." He touched a ripe ear of corn and it made a soft sound. "But when the corn is not ready, it makes a noisy sound when you touch it. Like this." He touched an unripe ear of corn and it made a noisy sound. + +Lily listened. She heard the difference. She said, "Oh, Ben, you are right. The corn is not ready. It is noisy. I don't want noisy corn. I want soft corn. I will wait until the farmer picks it and gives us some. Thank you, Ben, for teaching me how to guess." + +Ben smiled. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you learned something new. Come on, let's go and play with the animals. They are fun and not noisy." They ran to the barn and played with the animals. They had a good time. They forgot about the corn. +Lily and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to find soft leaves and make nests for their toys. They had a bear, a rabbit and a bird. They were happy and quiet. + +But then they heard a loud noise. Bang! Bang! It was a hunter with a big gun. He was looking for animals to shoot. He saw the bird in the nest and aimed at it. + +"Stop!" Lily yelled. "That is our bird! He is our friend! Do not hurt him!" + +The hunter was surprised. He did not see the children before. He lowered his gun and looked at them. He saw the bear and the rabbit too. + +"Sorry, kids," he said. "I did not know you were here. I thought the bird was wild. I will not shoot him. But you should not play in the woods. It is dangerous. There are other hunters and wild animals. Go back to your home." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were scared and sad. They picked up their toys and ran away. They did not want to play in the woods anymore. They wanted to be safe and happy. +Sam liked to play with his computer. He liked to watch funny videos and play games. He also liked to talk to his friends on the computer. Sometimes, his mom told him to stop playing and do his homework or chores. But Sam did not listen. He wanted to play more. + +One day, his mom had to go to work. She told Sam to be good and do his homework. She also told him not to touch her computer. Her computer was big and had important things on it. Sam said okay and gave her a hug. He was grateful that his mom let him stay home alone. + +But when his mom left, Sam was bored. He finished his homework quickly and had nothing to do. He looked at his mom's computer. It looked shiny and new. He wondered what was on it. He thought maybe he could play a game or watch a video on it. He decided to try it. + +He turned on his mom's computer and saw a lot of icons and folders. He did not know what they meant. He clicked on one that said "Trash". He saw a lot of files and pictures. He thought they were not important. He clicked on "Empty Trash". He heard a sound and saw a message that said "Are you sure you want to delete these items permanently?" He clicked on "Yes". + +He did not know that he had just deleted his mom's work and memories. He did not know that his mom would be very sad and angry when she came back. He did not know that he would regret his choice very much. He just wanted to play. He clicked on another icon that said "Game". He smiled and started to play. He did not notice the time passing by. He did not hear his mom's car in the driveway. He did not see his mom's face when she entered the room. He did not hear her scream when she saw her computer. He only heard his own cry when she took him away from the computer and spanked him hard. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had not touched her computer. He wished he could say sorry and make her happy again. He learned a hard lesson that day. He learned to be careful and respectful with other people's things. He learned to be grateful for what he had. He learned to regret what he had done. +Ben and Lily were playing with their cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Sometimes they crashed their cars and made a big wreck. + +"Watch out, Lily!" Ben shouted. "My car is faster than yours!" + +He zoomed his car towards Lily's car and bumped it hard. Lily's car flew off the couch and landed on the floor. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily cried. "You broke my car!" + +She picked up her car and saw that one of the wheels was loose. She tried to fix it, but it fell off. + +"Look what you did, Ben!" she said. "You ruined my car!" + +She threw her car at Ben and hit him on the head. Ben felt a sharp pain and started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he wailed. "That hurt, Lily!" + +Mom heard the noise and came into the living room. She saw the wreck of the cars and the tears on Ben and Lily's faces. + +"What's going on here?" she asked. "Why are you two so grumpy?" + +Ben and Lily both tried to tell Mom what happened, but they talked at the same time and made a lot of noise. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom said. "I can't understand you when you talk like that. Calm down and take turns." + +She sat down on the couch and asked Ben to go first. Ben told Mom how he was playing with his car and how he bumped Lily's car and how she threw her car at him. + +"That was not nice, Ben," Mom said. "You should not crash your car into Lily's car. You should be careful and gentle with your toys and your sister. How do you think Lily felt when you broke her car?" + +Ben thought for a moment and said, "She felt sad and angry." + +"That's right," Mom said. "And how do you feel when someone breaks your toy?" + +Ben said, "I feel sad and angry, too." + +Mom nodded and said, "So you see, Ben, you should not do to others what you don't want them to do to you. You should say sorry to Lily and help her fix her car." + +Ben looked at Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break your car. Can I help you fix it?" + +Lily looked at Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have thrown my car at you. That was mean. Can you help me find the wheel?" + +Ben and Lily hugged and said, "I love you, brother/sister." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. I love you both, too. Now, let's see if we can find the wheel and open the glue and fix the car." +Sara liked to play with her toy cars. They were made of metal and had shiny colors. She had a lot of cars, but her favorite was a red one. She called it Ruby. + +One day, Sara took Ruby outside to play in the yard. She drove Ruby on the grass, on the dirt, and on the rocks. She had fun making noises and pretending Ruby was fast and strong. + +But then, Sara saw a big dog. The dog was not friendly. It barked and ran towards Sara and Ruby. Sara was scared and dropped Ruby. The dog picked up Ruby in its mouth and ran away. + +Sara cried and ran to her mom. She told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said she was sorry. She said they would try to find Ruby and restore her. Restore means to make something good again. + +But they could not find Ruby. The dog had taken her far away. Ruby was broken and dirty. She had lost her shiny color and her wheels. She was sad and lonely. She wished she could go back to Sara and play again. But she could not. She was gone. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the yard. They have a big ball, a red wagon and a yellow kite. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, a new girl comes to the yard. Her name is Mia.

What do you want to play?" + +Mia says, "I want to play with your ball. It is round and bouncy. Can I have it?" + +Lily and Max say, "No, you cannot have it. It is our ball. We can share it, but you cannot take it." + +Mia says, "But I like your ball. It is better than my bike. Give it to me or I will be mad." + +Lily and Max say, "No, you cannot be mad. That is not nice. You have to be kind and polite. If you want to play with us, you have to follow the rules." + +Mia says, "I do not want to follow the rules. I do what I want. I do not want to play with you. You are mean and boring." + +Mia rides away on her bike. She does not look happy. Lily and Max look at each other and shrug. They do not care. They have each other and their toys. They are happy and popular. They play in the yard until it is time to go home. +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play and share toys. One day, they went to a restaurant with their moms. They sat at a big table and looked at the menu. + +"I want pizza," Tom said. + +"I want pasta," Anna said. + +The moms ordered the food and talked. Tom and Anna waited. They were hungry and bored. They saw a big cake on another table. It looked yummy. + +"Let's go get some cake," Tom whispered to Anna. + +"No, we can't. That's not our cake. That's rude," Anna whispered back. + +But Tom did not listen. He got up and walked to the other table. He grabbed a big piece of cake with his hand. He tried to run back to his seat. But he bumped into a waiter. The waiter was holding a tray of hot soup. The soup spilled all over Tom. Tom screamed. He dropped the cake. The cake landed on a lady's dress. The lady was angry.

They paid for the food and the dress. They took Tom and Anna out of the restaurant. + +Tom was hurt and scared. He cried. He wanted a hug and a kiss from his mom. But his mom was mad. She did not hug him or kiss him. She scolded him. + +"You were bad, Tom. You were greedy and sneaky. You did not listen to Anna. You made a big trouble. You hurt yourself and others. You wasted food and money. You should be ashamed," she said. + +Anna felt sorry for Tom. She wanted to help him. She walked to him. She gave him a napkin to wipe his face. She hugged him and kissed him. + +"It's okay, Tom. I'm still your friend. I forgive you. But you have to say sorry and learn from your mistake. Next time, be good and patient. Wait for your food. Share with others. Respect their things. Then you will be happy and make others happy too," she said. + +Tom looked at Anna. He felt bad. He knew she was right. He said sorry to Anna, to his mom, to the waiter, and to the lady. He learned his lesson. He thanked Anna for being a good friend. He hugged her and kissed her back. + +The moral value of the story is: Be good and patient. Wait for your food. Share with others. Respect their things. Then you will be happy and make others happy too. +Tim and Sue were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make houses with sticks and stones and pretend they were animals. Tim was a lion and Sue was a rabbit. They had a lot of fun roaring and hopping around. + +But then they heard a loud sound. It was the clock on the church tower. It was telling them it was time to go home. The clock said "Dong, dong, dong" six times. Tim and Sue knew they had to gather their toys and run to their mommies. + +But Sue was frightened. She did not like the clock. It was big and noisy and scary. She hid behind a bush and cried. "I don't want to go, I don't want to hear the clock, it makes me sad," she said. + +Tim heard Sue and went to find her. He saw her behind the bush and said, "Sue, don't be scared, the clock is not bad, it is just telling us the time. It is not angry or mean, it is just doing its job. Come on, let's go to our mommies, they are waiting for us and they love us." + +Sue looked at Tim and saw he was not afraid. He was brave and kind. She wiped her tears and said, "OK, Tim, you are right, the clock is not bad, it is just a clock. Let's go to our mommies, they will hug us and make us happy." + +Tim and Sue gathered their toys and ran to their mommies.

Ben asked. + +"Sure, buddy, we can play cards or read books or draw pictures. We can still have fun together," Dad said. + +Anna and Ben shrugged. They did not think that was very fun. They missed their friends and their toys and their backyard. They hoped the rain would stop soon. + +The next day, the sun came out. The sky was blue and the air was warm.

It was a ring with a pretty stone. Lily wanted to keep it for herself. + +She picked up the ring with her beak and flew away. She did not see that the ring belonged to a girl who was playing nearby.

See, the sign says it will be here in five minutes," mom said. + +Lily looked at the sign, but she did not know what the numbers meant. She sighed and looked around. She saw a big trash can next to the bench. She had an idea. + +"Mom, can I play with the trash can?" Lily asked. + +"No, honey, that's not a toy. That's for throwing away things we don't need. It's dirty and smelly," mom said. + +"But I want to fill it with things. I want to make a big pile," Lily said. + +"That's not a good idea, Lily. You might hurt yourself or make a mess.

Then she hugged mom and said sorry to her too. + +"It's okay, Lily. I know you were bored, but you have to listen to me and be careful. The subway is not a place to play. It's a place to travel.

They flew and climbed on the swings and slides. + +"Look, a lion!" Ben said, pointing to a big yellow toy. He ran to it and pretended to roar. + +Anna followed him and looked at the toy. She saw something strange. "Ben, this lion is purple!" she said. "Why is it purple?" + +Ben shrugged. He did not know. He liked the color purple. He thought it was pretty. "Maybe someone painted it," he said. "Or maybe it is a magic lion." + +Anna was curious. She touched the lion's fur. It was soft and warm. She wondered if it could talk. She leaned closer to its ear and whispered, "Hello, lion. Can you hear me?" + +The lion opened its eyes and smiled. It had white teeth and a pink tongue. It spoke in a friendly voice. "Hello, bird and monkey. I can hear you. You are very nice. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna and Ben gasped. They were surprised and scared. They did not expect the lion to talk. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and then at the lion. + +The lion saw their faces and laughed. It was not a mean laugh. It was a happy laugh. "Don't be afraid," it said. "I won't hurt you. I'm a friendly lion. I like to play and have fun. I'm purple because I'm special. I can do magic things. Do you want to see?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were still scared, but they were also curious. They wanted to see the magic things. They hoped the lion was telling the truth. They hoped it was a friendly lion.

It can hurt you," Ben says. + +Sara does not listen. She reaches for the cactus. Ouch! She feels a sting on her finger. She cries and runs to the house. + +Ben follows her. He sees a watering can on the porch. He has an idea. He pours water on the cactus. Maybe it will make it happy and not hurt Sara again. + +But he is wrong. The cactus does not like too much water. It starts to turn brown and wilt. The flowers fall off. The cactus is sad and sick. + +Sara comes back with a band-aid on her finger. She sees the cactus. She is angry and sad. + +"Look what you did! You killed the pretty cactus!" Sara says. + +"I'm sorry. I wanted to help," Ben says. + +They both feel bad. They learn a lesson. They should not touch things they do not know.

They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tim said. "We can climb the tree and have fun!" + +"But Tim, the farmer said we should not go near his tree.

Tim said. + +Tim and Lily ran to the tree and started to climb. They went higher and higher, until they reached the top. They felt happy and proud. They could see the whole farm and the fields and the animals. + +"Wow, Tim, this is amazing!" Lily said. + +"See, Lily, I told you it was a good idea!" Tim said. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. It was the farmer. He was angry and he had a stick in his hand. + +"Hey, you kids! Get down from my tree right now! You are breaking the branches and scaring the birds! How dare you disobey me!" the farmer shouted. + +Tim and Lily were scared. They tried to climb down, but they were too high and they got stuck. They cried and called for help. + +The farmer saw them and sighed. He was not really mean, but he was worried about his tree and his apples. He put down his stick and got a ladder. He climbed up the tree and helped Tim and Lily down. He was patient and gentle. + +"Are you okay, kids?" the farmer asked. + +"Yes, sir, we are sorry, sir." Tim and Lily said. + +"Why did you climb my tree? Don't you know it is dangerous and rude?" the farmer asked. + +"We wanted to see the birds and the sky, sir. We thought it would be fun, sir." Tim and Lily said. + +"Well, kids, I understand your curiosity, but you should always respect other people's property and rules. My tree is very old and fragile, and I need it for my apples. If you break it, I will lose my harvest and my income. And you could also hurt yourselves or the birds. Do you understand?" the farmer said. + +"Yes, sir, we understand, sir. We are very sorry, sir. We will never do it again, sir." Tim and Lily said. + +The farmer smiled and nodded. He gave them each an apple and told them to go home and be careful. Tim and Lily thanked him and ran home.

She wanted to show her mom how independent she was. + +Anna worked hard on the puzzle. She found the corners and the sides. She filled in the sky and the grass. She made the castle and the dragon. She was almost done. She only needed one more piece. + +She looked for the last piece. She looked in the box. She looked on the floor. She looked under the sofa.

They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. They had a small shovel and a bucket to put their finds in. + +One day, they found something shiny and hard in the dirt. Tom picked it up and showed it to Lily. "Look, Lily, what is this?" he asked. + +Lily looked at it and frowned. "I don't know, Tom. It is not a bug or a worm. It is long and pointy and has a round head. Maybe it is a nail," she said. + +"A nail? What is a nail?" Tom asked. + +"A nail is something that people use to make things stick together. Like a house or a chair. But you have to be careful with nails. They can hurt you if you poke yourself with them," Lily said. + +Tom was curious. He wanted to see how the nail worked. He found a piece of wood and tried to push the nail into it. But the nail was too hard and the wood was too tough. Tom pushed harder and harder, but the nail did not move. + +Suddenly, the nail slipped from his hand and flew into the air. It landed on Lily's foot and made a small hole in her shoe. Lily screamed and cried. She was frightened and hurt. + +Tom dropped the wood and ran to Lily. He was sorry and scared. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" + +Lily sobbed and nodded. She showed Tom her foot. There was a little blood on her sock, but it was not a big wound. Tom took off his shirt and wrapped it around Lily's foot. He said, "Don't cry, Lily, don't cry. It will be okay. I will get Mommy and Daddy. They will help you." + +Tom and Lily went inside the house. They found Mommy and Daddy and told them what happened. Mommy and Daddy were worried and angry, but they were also glad that Lily was not badly hurt. They cleaned and bandaged Lily's foot and gave her a hug and a kiss.

He said he learned his lesson and he would never touch a nail again. He gave Lily his favorite teddy bear and said he loved her. Lily smiled and said she loved him too.

They also learned to be kind and forgiving to each other. They were still the best of friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big box that she liked to pretend was a house. Tom had a small car that he liked to zoom around the floor. + +"Can I play in your box, Lily?" Tom asked. He wanted to park his car inside the box and make it a garage. + +"No, Tom, this is my box. You have your car," Lily said. She did not want to share her box with Tom. She liked to have it all to herself. + +Tom felt sad. He did not have another toy to play with. He looked around and saw a jar of salsa on the kitchen table. He had an idea. + +"Can I have some salsa, Mommy?" Tom requested. He hoped that the salsa would make his car more fun. + +"Sure, Tom, but be careful. It is very spicy," Mommy said. She gave Tom a spoon and a napkin. She did not know what Tom wanted to do with the salsa. + +Tom took the salsa and ran back to the living room. He poured some salsa on his car and rubbed it all over. He thought that the salsa would make his car look shiny and colorful. + +"Look, Lily, my car is spicy now!" Tom said. He showed his car to Lily, who was still in her box. + +"Yuck, Tom, that is gross! You ruined your car!" Lily said. She did not like the salsa on Tom's car. She thought that it smelled bad and looked messy. + +Tom did not care. He liked his spicy car. He zoomed it around the floor and made loud noises. He had fun with his salsa car. He did not need Lily's box anymore. +Tom is a bad boy. He likes to take things that are not his. One day, he sees a fat man in the park. The fat man has a wallet in his pocket. Tom wants the wallet. He thinks it has money and candy inside. + +Tom waits for the fat man to sit on a bench. Then he runs behind him and lifts the wallet from his pocket. He is very quick and quiet. He does not say sorry. He runs away with the wallet. + +But the fat man is not stupid. He feels his pocket and sees that his wallet is gone. He is very angry. He gets up and chases Tom. He is faster than Tom. He catches him and grabs the wallet back. He yells at Tom and tells him he is a thief. He calls the police. + +The police come and take Tom away. They put him in a car and drive him to a place where bad boys go. Tom is very scared and sad. He wishes he did not take the wallet. He wishes he was good. But it is too late. He has to stay in the place for a long time. He has no money and no candy. He has no friends and no fun. He has a bad ending. +Jen and Sam were brother and sister. They liked to play in their room after dinner. They had many toys and books and a big blanket. They made a tent with the blanket and some chairs.

She wanted them to be quiet and go to sleep. + +She opened the door and shouted, "What are you doing? Stop this nonsense right now! You are too old for this childish game! You should be ashamed of yourselves!" + +She grabbed the blanket and pulled it off the tent. She threw the flashlight on the floor. She scolded Jen and Sam and made them go to bed. She did not give them a kiss or a hug. She did not say good night. + +Jen and Sam felt scared and sad. They cried in their pillows. They wished they could still whisper to each other. They wished their mom would love them more. They wished they had a different ending. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with paint. They have many colors of paint.

The rhinoceros looked sad and bored. + +"Let's go and say hello to the rhinoceros," Tom said. + +"No, I don't want to. He might be scary and angry," Lily said. + +Tom and Lily began to quarrel. Tom said Lily was a chicken. Lily said Tom was a fool. They shouted and pushed each other. + +The rhinoceros heard the noise and looked at them. He did not like the quarrel. He wanted some peace and quiet. He also wanted some friends. + +He saw that the cage door was open. He decided to go out and talk to Tom and Lily. He walked slowly and gently towards them. + +Tom and Lily stopped quarreling when they saw the rhinoceros coming. They were very surprised and scared. They ran away and hid behind a tree. + +The rhinoceros reached the tree and said, "Hello, I am Remy. I am not scary or angry. I am lonely and sad. I want to play with you. Can we be friends?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry for Remy. They also felt ashamed of their quarrel. They came out from behind the tree and said, "Hello, Remy. We are Tom and Lily. We are sorry for making noise and fighting. We want to be friends with you too." + +Remy smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very kind and brave. Come, let's go and play together." + +Tom and Lily nodded and followed Remy. They played in the park and had fun. They forgot their quarrel and became good friends with Remy. The rhinoceros was happy and not bored anymore. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, Tom's mom says they can go to the zoo. Tom is happy. He wants to see the lions and the monkeys. He asks Sam to come with him. + +Sam says yes. He likes the zoo too. But he is scared of one animal. He is scared of the snake. The snake is long and slimy. It has no legs and no ears. It makes a weird sound. Sam thinks the snake is bad. + +Tom and Sam go to the zoo with Tom's mom. They see many animals. They see the lions and the monkeys.

"Can we go inside it?" + +"Yes, we can, but we have to wait for our turn," mom says, holding their hands. "We have to show our tickets and our bags to the people who work here. They will help us find our seats on the jet." + +Tom and Lily follow their mom and dad to a long line of people. They see many other jets on the ground and in the air.

Tom and Lily say, waving. + +"Hello, grandma!" they say, smiling. +Tom liked to play with his bucket. He filled it with sand, water, rocks, and anything he could find. He made castles, cakes, and mountains with his bucket. He took his bucket everywhere he went. + +One day, Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide, a swing, and a seesaw. He wanted to try them all. But he did not want to leave his bucket alone. He was afraid someone would take it or break it. So he carried his bucket with him on the slide, the swing, and the seesaw. + +But the bucket was heavy and hard to hold. Tom got tired and sleepy. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. He decided to take a nap on a bench. He put his bucket next to him and closed his eyes. + +He did not see a big dog coming. The dog was fierce and hungry. It smelled something in Tom's bucket. It was a sandwich that Tom had saved for later. The dog wanted the sandwich. It barked and jumped on the bench. It knocked over the bucket and grabbed the sandwich. + +Tom woke up and saw the dog. He was scared and angry. He shouted and chased the dog. He wanted his bucket and his sandwich back. But the dog was faster and ran away. Tom cried and ran to his mom. He told her what happened.

She said it was time to go home and sleep. Tom nodded and smiled. He was still sad, but he felt better. He hoped he would find his bucket and his sandwich again. He hoped the dog would learn to share and be nice. He hoped he would have sweet dreams. He held his mom's hand and walked home. He was ready to sleep. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog. He is very alert. He likes to chase birds and squirrels. + +One day, Tom and Lily see some new flowers in the garden. They are pink and purple and yellow. They smell very nice. + +"Look, Lily, the flowers are blooming!" Tom says. + +"What does blooming mean?" Lily asks. + +"It means they are growing and opening. They are happy to see the sun and the rain," Tom explains. + +"Can we pick some?" Lily asks. + +"No, we can't. That will hurt the flowers. They need to stay in the ground. We can look at them and smell them, but not touch them," Tom says. + +"OK, I understand," Lily says. + +They sit on the grass and watch the flowers. Spot runs around them and barks. He sees a butterfly and tries to catch it. The butterfly flies away. + +"Spot, come here!" Tom calls. + +Spot comes back and licks Tom's face. Tom laughs and hugs him. + +"Good boy, Spot. You are a good friend," Tom says. + +Lily smiles and pets Spot's leg. Spot wags his tail. + +"We are all good friends," Lily says. + +They stay in the garden until their mom calls them for lunch.

It is the best marble ever!" + +Sam looked at the marble and felt jealous. He wanted to have it too. He said, "Can I play with your marble, please?" + +Tim said, "No, it is my marble. You have your own marbles. Go play with them." + +Sam felt angry. He said, "That is not fair. You have too many marbles. You should share with me. Give me your marble, please!" + +Tim said, "No, I will not give you my marble. It is mine. Go away!" + +Sam did not go away. He tried to grab the marble from Tim's hand. Tim held it tight and pulled it back. They both started to fight over the marble. They pushed and pulled and shouted. + +The marble slipped from their hands and rolled on the floor. It rolled fast and far. It rolled out of the door and down the stairs. It rolled into the street. + +Tim and Sam ran after the marble. They did not look where they were going. They did not see the car coming. The car was big and loud and fast. It hit the marble and smashed it. The marble broke into many pieces. The pieces flew in the air and fell on the ground. + +Tim and Sam stopped and stared. They saw their marble gone. They felt sad and sorry. They looked at each other and said, "We are sorry. We were bad. We should not have fought over the marble. We should have shared and played nicely." + +They hugged and said, "We are still friends. We have many other marbles. We can play with them together. But we will be careful and slow. We will not run into the street. We will not break our marbles. We will have fun." +Tom and Mia like to play with their cars.

It is special. You have your own cars." She holds the car close to her chest. + +Tom feels angry and sad. He thinks Mia is not nice. He tries to grab the car from her hand. Mia pulls it back. They start to fight. Tom bites Mia's arm. Mia screams and cries. She bites Tom's ear. Tom yells and drops the car. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Mia with bite marks and tears. She sees the red car on the floor. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you biting each other? That is not how you play. That is not how you share. You need to say sorry and hug each other. And you need to take turns with the car. It is not nice to fight over toys." + +Tom and Mia feel sorry and ashamed. They say sorry and hug each other. They say sorry to Mom too. Mom gives them a kiss and a band-aid. She picks up the car and says, "This is a very attractive car. But it is not worth biting for. You can both play with it for a while. But you need to be gentle and kind. And you need to use your words, not your teeth. OK?" + +Tom and Mia nod and smile. They say, "OK, Mom." They take the car and play with it together. They make zoom sounds and go to different places. They are friends again. They are happy. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not like to organize them. They left them all over the floor, on the bed, and in the closet. Their mom was not happy. She told them to clean up their room, or they would not get any cookies. + +Tom and Mia did not listen. They kept playing with their toys, making loud noises and pretending to be pirates and princesses. They did not hear their mom coming up the stairs. She opened the door and saw the mess. She was very angry. She said, "That's it! No cookies for you! And no more toys until you organize them! I'm taking them away!" She grabbed a big bag and started to put all the toys inside. + +Tom and Mia were shocked. They cried and begged their mom to stop. They said, "Please, mom, don't take our toys! We'll organize them, we promise! We love our toys, please don't take them away!" But their mom did not listen. She said, "Too late! You had your chance. Now you have to learn your lesson. Maybe next time you'll listen to me." She took the bag and left the room. + +Tom and Mia were left alone in their room. They looked around and saw nothing but empty space. They felt very sad and cold. They hugged each other and said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, toys. We miss you." They wished they had organized their toys when their mom asked them. They wished they had cookies to eat. They wished they had something to play with. + +They sat on the floor in silence. They did not know what to do. They hoped their mom would come back and give them their toys. They hoped their mom would forgive them and love them. They hoped they would never make the same mistake again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were heroes. Tom had a cape and Lily had a mask. They ran and jumped and saved the day. + +But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not like big dogs. They wanted to run away. + +But then they saw a man. The man was wearing a hat and a coat. He had a leash in his hand. He called the dog. The dog stopped barking and ran to the man. The man said sorry to Tom and Lily. He said the dog was friendly but sometimes loud. + +Tom and Lily were happy. They were not scared anymore. They said thank you to the man. They thought the man was incredible. He was a real hero. They clapped for the man. The man smiled and waved. He and the dog walked away. + +Tom and Lily went back to playing. They still pretended they were heroes. But they also pretended they had a big dog. A friendly but loud dog. They barked and clapped and had fun. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in the forest. They liked to crawl under the bushes and pretend they were animals. One day, they saw a big wolf in the forest. The wolf was grey and had sharp teeth. It looked at them with hungry eyes. + +"Run, Mia, run!" Tom shouted. He grabbed his sister's hand and they ran away from the wolf. The wolf chased them, but they were faster. They reached their house and slammed the door behind them. They were safe. + +"Wow, that was scary!" Mia said. She hugged her brother. "Thank you for saving me, Tom. You are very brave." + +Tom smiled. He was happy that his sister was safe. But he also felt something else. He felt envious of the wolf. The wolf was big and strong and could run fast. Tom wished he could be like the wolf. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Mia asked. She saw that her brother looked sad. + +Tom nodded. He did not want to tell Mia his secret. He loved his sister, but he also wanted to be a wolf. He wondered what it would be like to crawl in the forest and hunt for food. He wondered if he would ever meet the wolf again. +Tom and Mia like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and white. + +One day, they decide to make a big tower with all the blocks. They stack the blocks high and wide. They use the white blocks for the top of the tower. They are very proud of their tower. + +"Look at our tower!" Tom says. "It is the biggest tower ever!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia says. "But we have to be careful. We don't want it to fall down." + +They play with their tower for a long time. They pretend it is a castle or a rocket or a mountain. They have fun. + +But then, something happens. Their mom comes in with a basket of clothes. She says it is time to dry the clothes. She puts the basket on the floor near the tower. + +"Can you help me, Tom and Mia?" she says. "We have to hang the clothes on the line outside." + +"OK, mom," Tom and Mia say. They love to help their mom. They take some clothes from the basket and follow their mom outside. + +But they forget one thing. They forget to move the basket away from the tower. The basket is very heavy. It pushes the tower a little bit. The tower wobbles. The white blocks on the top start to slide. + +The tower falls down with a loud crash. The blocks scatter everywhere. Tom and Mia hear the noise. They run back inside. + +"Oh no!" Tom says. "Our tower!" + +"It's broken!" Mia says. "All our hard work!" + +They are very sad. They look at their mom. She looks at the tower. She looks at the basket. She looks at them. + +"I'm sorry, Tom and Mia," she says. "I didn't see the tower. I didn't mean to make it fall down." + +She hugs them. She says they can make another tower later. She says they can use the white blocks again. She says they are still the best tower makers. + +Tom and Mia feel a little better. They hug their mom back. They say they love her. They say they will help her dry the clothes. + +They go outside with their mom. They hang the clothes on the line. They see the sun shining. They see the sky blue. They see the clouds white. + +They smile. They think maybe they can make a tower with the clouds. They think maybe they can make it even bigger. They think maybe they can make it never fall down. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors. They make a big tower with the blocks. + +"Look at our tower!" Tom says. "It is so tall and strong!" + +"Yes, it is!" Anna says. "And it has many colors. Red, blue, yellow, green, and purple!" + +They are happy with their tower. But then, Ben comes. Ben is not nice. He likes to break things. He sees the tower and runs to it. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom says. "That is our tower!" + +"I don't care!" Ben says. "I want to break it! I don't like purple blocks. Purple is a bad color!" + +He pushes the tower and it falls down. The blocks scatter everywhere. Tom and Anna are sad and angry. They worked hard to make the tower. + +"Ben, you are mean!" Anna says. "You broke our tower! Why did you do that?" + +"Because I can!" Ben says. "And I don't like you. You are in a different group. You are not in my group. My group is better than your group!" + +Tom and Anna don't understand. They don't care about groups. They just want to play and have fun. They think Ben is silly and rude. They pick up their blocks and move away from him. + +"Come on, Anna," Tom says. "Let's go and make another tower. Somewhere else. Where Ben can't find us." + +"OK, Tom," Anna says. "Let's go. And let's use more purple blocks. Purple is a good color. And we are a good group. A group of friends." +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big ladder in the park. The ladder is very tall and shiny. It has many steps. + +"Wow, look at that ladder!" Tim says. "I want to climb it." + +"Me too," Mia says. "But who put it here?" + +They walk closer to the ladder. They see a man standing next to it. He has a camera and a hat. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids," he says. "Do you like my ladder?" + +"Yes, it's very nice," Tim says. "But why do you have it?" + +The man laughs. "I'm a famous photographer. I use the ladder to take pictures of the birds and the trees. Do you want to see?" + +He shows them his camera. It has many buttons and a screen. He shows them some pictures of the park. They are very pretty. + +"Wow, you're very good," Mia says. "Can we try?" + +"Sure, why not?" the man says. "But be careful. The ladder is very high. You need to hold on tight." + +He helps them climb the ladder. They take turns to use the camera. They have fun. They take pictures of each other and of the park. + +"Thank you for letting us play with your camera," Tim says. + +"Yes, thank you," Mia says. "You're very nice." + +The man smiles. "You're welcome, kids. You're very polite. What are your names?" + +"I'm Tim," Tim says. + +"I'm Mia," Mia says. + +The man nods. "Nice to meet you, Tim and Mia. I'm Sam. Let me introduce myself. I'm a famous photographer." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. But sometimes Tom teases Lily. He takes her blocks and dolls and says they are his. He makes Lily cry and feel sad. + +One day, Lily has a new doll. It is smooth and soft and has a pink dress. Lily loves her doll and hugs it. Tom sees the doll and wants it. He runs to Lily and grabs the doll. He says, "This is my doll now. You can't have it. It is too pretty for you." + +Lily is very angry and sad. She tries to get her doll back, but Tom is stronger. He pushes Lily and runs away. Lily cries and cries. She wants her doll and peace. + +Mom hears Lily cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom with the doll and Lily with tears. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, give Lily her doll back. You are being mean and rude. You can't tease Lily and take her things. That is not how friends play." + +Tom feels ashamed and sorry. He knows he did a bad thing. He gives Lily her doll back and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I won't tease you again. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily is happy to have her doll back. She sees that Tom is sorry and wants to be nice. She says, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. We can still be friends. But you have to share and be kind." + +Mom smiles and hugs them both. She says, "I'm proud of you, Lily and Tom. You learned how to say sorry and forgive. That is how friends play. Now you can have peace and fun." +Sara and Tom like to play pretend. They imagine they are cowboys and cowgirls. They have hats and boots and horses. They also have whips. Whips are long and thin and make a loud sound. + +One day, Sara and Tom are playing in the backyard. They pretend they are chasing bad guys. Sara has a big whip. She swings it in the air and makes a crack. Tom has a small whip. He tries to copy Sara, but his whip does not make a sound. + +"Your whip is too small," Sara says. "You need a bigger whip like mine." + +Tom feels sad. He wants a big whip too. He looks around and sees a hose. A hose is long and thin like a whip. He thinks maybe he can use the hose as a whip. + +He picks up the hose and runs to Sara. He swings the hose in the air and tries to make a crack. But the hose is heavy and wet. Tom loses his balance and falls. The hose hits Sara in the face. Sara screams and cries. She has a red mark on her cheek. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara says. "You hurt me! You are a bad cowboy! Go away!" + +Tom feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Sara. He drops the hose and runs to the house. He cries too. He wishes he had a big whip like Sara. He wishes he did not use the hose as a whip. He wishes he did not play pretend. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They ran after it and laughed. + +One time, the ball rolled too far and went into the woods. Sara and Tom followed it. They saw the ball near a big rock. They were happy. They ran to get the ball. + +But when they got closer, they heard a loud noise. It was a crack. The rock was breaking. They saw a big hole in the rock. They saw something moving in the hole. It was a snake. The snake had a long body and a big head. It had black and yellow stripes. It looked at them with small eyes. + +Sara and Tom were scared. They did not like snakes. They thought snakes were bad and could hurt them. They did not know what to do. They started to panic. They screamed and cried. They wanted to run away, but they did not know which way to go. + +The snake heard them and came out of the hole. It slithered towards them. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It hissed and flicked its tongue. It wanted to say hello. It was a harmless snake. It did not want to hurt them. It just wanted to play. + +But Sara and Tom did not understand. They thought the snake was angry and wanted to bite them. They were too afraid to listen. They closed their eyes and hugged each other. They hoped someone would come and save them. They hoped the snake would go away. They hoped they could get their ball and go back to the park. They hoped they would never see a snake again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Sara has a zip on her coat. Tom has a wing on his hat. They run and jump and laugh. + +One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It has a long neck and a big beak. It looks hungry. Sara and Tom are scared. They hide behind a tree. + +"Maybe it will go away," Sara says. + +"Maybe we can make it go away," Tom says. He has an idea. He takes off his hat and throws it at the bird. The wing on his hat flaps in the air. + +The bird sees the hat. It thinks it is a snack. It swoops down and catches the hat in its beak. It flies away with the hat. + +Tom is sad. He lost his hat. He cries. + +Sara tries to be helpful. She unzips her coat and gives it to Tom. She says, "Here, you can have my coat. It will keep you warm." + +Tom takes the coat. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." + +But the bird sees the coat. It thinks it is another snack. It swoops down again and grabs the coat in its beak. It flies away with the coat. + +Sara and Tom are sad. They lost their coat and hat. They cry. + +The bird is happy. It has two snacks. It eats the coat and hat. It burps. +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It is deep and dark. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's go and look," says Ben. He is brave and curious. + +"No, no, no," says Mia. She is scared and careful. "It might be dangerous. There might be bugs or snakes or monsters." + +Ben does not listen. He walks to the hole and bends down. He sees something shiny and sticky. It is gum. Someone threw gum in the hole. Ben wants to touch it. He reaches his hand in. + +Suddenly, he hears a loud roar. He feels something bite his finger. He screams and pulls his hand out. He runs to Mia. He is bleeding and crying. + +Mia hugs him and tries to calm him down. She sees what bit him. It is a big rat. It is angry and hungry. It has gum on its teeth. It roars again and chases them. + +Ben and Mia run away as fast as they can. They are scared and hurt. They find their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. They go to the doctor. He gives them a band-aid and a lollipop. + +They learn a lesson. They never go near the hole again. They never touch gum that is not theirs. They always listen to Mia. She is smart and safe. +Tim and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and pictures. They are happy. + +One day, they hear a loud noise. It comes from the ceiling. They look up and see a big hole. They see a bird. The bird is blue and yellow. It is not a normal bird. It is a parrot. + +The parrot says, "Hello, hello, hello!" Tim and Lily are surprised. They have never heard a bird talk. They say, "Hello, bird. Who are you? Where do you come from?" + +The parrot says, "I am Polly. I come from the zoo. I flew away. I was bored. I saw your window. I wanted to see your room. It is nice. Do you want to play?" + +Tim and Lily are curious. They like animals. They say, "Yes, we want to play. What can we do?" + +The parrot says, "We can play hide and seek. I will hide. You will seek. Count to ten. Then rush and find me. Ready, go!" + +Tim and Lily start to count. The parrot flies around the room. It looks for a good place to hide. It sees a closet. It goes inside. It shuts the door. + +Tim and Lily finish counting. They say, "Here we come, Polly!" They rush to find the parrot. They look under the bed. They look behind the curtains. They look in the drawers. They cannot find the parrot. + +They say, "Where are you, Polly? We cannot see you. Give us a clue." + +The parrot says, "I am in a dark place. It has many clothes. It has a knob. Can you guess?" + +Tim and Lily think. They say, "We know. You are in the closet. We will get you, Polly!" + +They rush to the closet. They open the door. They see the parrot. The parrot says, "You found me. Well done. You are smart. Do you want to play again?" + +Tim and Lily say, "Yes, we do. But first, we have to tell Mom and Dad. They will be happy to meet you. Come with us, Polly." + +They take the parrot to their parents. They tell them the story. Their parents are amazed. They say, "What a surprise. What a funny bird. What a lucky day. We have a new friend." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples to eat. + +"Look, Ben, there is a rare apple on that branch. It is very big and shiny. Can you help me get it?" Anna says. + +"OK, Anna, I will help you. You can stand on my shoulders and reach for the apple. Be careful, do not fall!" Ben says. + +Anna climbs on Ben's shoulders and stretches her arms. She touches the rare apple and pulls it. But the apple is too heavy and Anna loses her balance. She and Ben fall to the ground with a thud. The apple rolls away. + +"Ouch, that hurt! Are you OK, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"I am OK, Ben. Thank you for helping me. But where is the rare apple?" Anna asks. + +They look around and see a squirrel holding the rare apple in its mouth. The squirrel runs away with the apple. + +"Oh no, the squirrel took our rare apple! That is not fair!" Anna says. + +"Maybe the squirrel was hungry too. Let's find another apple to share. There are many apples on the tree. Come on, Anna, do not be sad!" Ben says. + +Anna and Ben get up and dust themselves off. They smile and hug each other. They are still friends. They go to the tree and pick another apple. They split it in half and eat it. It is sweet and juicy. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing cops and robbers in the backyard. Tom had a toy pistol and Lily had a scarf. Tom pretended to be the cop and Lily pretended to be the robber. + +"Stop, robber! You are under arrest!" Tom shouted, pointing his pistol at Lily. + +"No, you can't catch me!" Lily said, running away. She hid behind a tree and wrapped the scarf around her face. + +Tom ran after her and tried to find her. He was restless and wanted to catch her. He looked behind the bushes, the swing, and the sandbox, but he could not see her. + +"Where are you, robber? Come out, come out!" Tom called. + +Lily giggled and jumped out from behind the tree. She ran towards Tom and grabbed his pistol. + +"Ha, ha, I got your pistol! Now you are the robber and I am the cop!" Lily said, waving the pistol in the air. + +Tom was surprised and angry. He tried to get his pistol back, but Lily was too fast. She ran around the backyard, laughing and teasing him. + +"Give me back my pistol, Lily! That's not fair!" Tom said, chasing her. + +Lily shook her head and smiled. She liked playing with Tom, but she also liked to remove his pistol and make him mad. She thought it was fun. +Lily likes to play dress-up with her big sister. She puts on a pink dress and a hat and pretends to be a princess. She feels very pretty and happy. + +One day, she wants to show her dress to her friend Tom, who lives next door. She runs out of the house and across the street, without looking for cars. She does not see the big truck that is coming fast. + +The truck honks loudly and makes a scary noise. Lily is scared and tries to run back, but she is too late. The truck hits her and she falls to the ground. Her dress is torn and dirty and her hat flies away. She feels a lot of pain and cries. + +Tom sees what happens and runs to help Lily. He calls for help and hugs her. He tells her that everything will be okay and that he is sorry. He likes her dress and her hat and thinks she is a brave princess. + +Soon, Lily's mom and dad and big sister come. They are very worried and sad. They take Lily to the hospital, where the doctor fixes her wounds and gives her a bandage. They tell her that they love her and that she is lucky to be alive. They also tell her to be careful and to look for cars when she crosses the street. + +Lily learns a lesson and says sorry to her mom and dad and big sister. She also says thank you to Tom, who brings her a new dress and a hat. She still likes to play dress-up, but she is more careful and listens to her parents. She is happy to have a good friend and a loving family. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a fence. They want to see what is inside. + +They run to the fence and look over. They see a big garden with flowers and trees. They see a big pool with water and toys. They see a big car with shiny wheels. They see a big dog with a collar. + +"Wow, this house is rich!" Tom says. "I want to play here!" + +"Me too!" Lily says. "Let's go inside!" + +They run to the gate and open it. They run to the house and knock on the door. They wait for someone to come. + +But no one comes. The house is quiet. They see a telephone on a table near the door. They want to use it. + +"Hello, hello!" Tom says into the telephone. "Can we play here?" + +"Who is this?" a voice says from the telephone. "How did you get in?" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the telephone and run away. They run back to the park and hide behind a slide. + +They hear the big dog bark. They hear the big car honk. They hear someone shout. + +They hug each other and say, "Sorry, sorry!" + +They learn a lesson. They do not go to the rich house again. They play in the park with their own toys. They are happy. +Sara and Tom love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big reindeer. The reindeer is soft and brown, and has a red nose. Sara and Tom like to dress the reindeer in different clothes. Sometimes they make him a pirate, sometimes a princess, sometimes a superhero. + +One day, Sara and Tom decide to dress the reindeer as a doctor. They find a white coat, a stethoscope, and a hat. They put them on the reindeer and pretend he is checking their hearts and ears. + +"Hello, I am Dr. Reindeer," the reindeer says in a funny voice. "How are you feeling today?" + +"I am feeling good, thank you," Sara says. "But Tom has a sore throat. Can you help him?" + +"Of course, I can," the reindeer says. "Let me see your throat, Tom. Say 'ahh'." + +Tom opens his mouth and says "ahh". The reindeer looks at his throat and nods. + +"You have a little cold, Tom. But don't worry, it will go away soon. You just need to drink some water, eat some soup, and rest. And you need a hug from Dr. Reindeer." + +The reindeer hugs Tom and makes him smile. Sara hugs them both and says "Thank you, Dr. Reindeer. You are the best doctor ever." + +The reindeer smiles and says "You are welcome, Sara and Tom. You are the best patients ever." + +Sara and Tom play with the reindeer for a long time. They have a lot of fun. But then they hear their mom calling them. + +"Sara, Tom, it's time to clean up your room. It's very messy. Come on, let's make it tidy." + +Sara and Tom look at their room and see that it is true. There are clothes, toys, books, and papers everywhere. They feel a little sad. They don't want to stop playing with the reindeer. + +But the reindeer says "Don't be sad, Sara and Tom. You can play with me again tomorrow. But now you have to listen to your mom and clean up your room. It's good to be tidy. I will help you." + +Sara and Tom smile and say "Thank you, reindeer. You are the best friend ever." + +They take off the clothes from the reindeer and put them in the closet. They pick up the toys and put them in the box. They stack the books and papers on the shelf. They make their bed and fluff their pillows. They put the reindeer on the bed and give him a kiss. + +"Good night, reindeer," they say. "We love you." + +"Good night, Sara and Tom," the reindeer says. "I love you too." + +They run to their mom and hug her. She hugs them back and says "Good job, Sara and Tom. Your room is very tidy. I'm proud of you." + +She takes them to the bathroom and helps them brush their teeth. She reads them a story and tucks them in. She kisses them and says "Sweet dreams, Sara and Tom." + +Sara and Tom close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of the reindeer and their adventures. They are happy. +Sam and Lily liked to watch cartoons on TV. They laughed at the funny animals and the silly jokes. But their dad did not like cartoons. He was grumpy and said they were noisy and silly. He wanted to watch the news and the sports. + +One day, Sam and Lily were watching their favorite cartoon. It was about a mouse and a cat who chased each other and played tricks. Their dad came into the room and saw them. He said, "Turn off that cartoon. It is time for the news." + +Sam and Lily did not want to turn off the cartoon. They liked it too much. They looked at each other and had an idea. They said, "Dad, we dare you to watch the cartoon with us. Maybe you will like it too." + +Their dad was surprised. He did not like to be dared. He said, "Fine. I will watch the cartoon with you. But I will not like it. I will show you how silly it is." + +He sat on the couch with Sam and Lily and watched the cartoon. At first, he was grumpy and made faces. He said, "This is not funny. This is stupid. How can a mouse talk? How can a cat fly? This makes no sense." + +But after a while, he started to notice the jokes and the fun. He saw how the mouse and the cat were friends and how they helped each other. He saw how they made the other animals laugh and how they learned from their mistakes. He started to smile and chuckle. He said, "This is not so bad. This is kind of funny. Maybe I was wrong about cartoons." + +Sam and Lily were happy. They saw their dad smile and laugh. They said, "See, dad? Cartoons are not silly. They are fun and smart. We are glad you watched the cartoon with us." + +Their dad hugged them and said, "I am glad too. You dared me to try something new and I did. I learned something today. I learned that cartoons can be fun and smart. And I learned that you are fun and smart too. Thank you, Sam and Lily. You are the best." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with dough. They have red dough, blue dough, yellow dough and green dough. They can make shapes and animals with dough. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with dough in the kitchen. Lily makes a dough cat. She gives it ears, eyes, nose and tail. She is happy with her cat. She shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I made a cat. Do you like it?" Lily asks. + +Ben is busy making a dough car. He gives it wheels, windows, doors and lights. He is happy with his car. He ignores Lily. + +"Ben, look at my cat. It is cute. Do you like it?" Lily asks again. + +Ben still ignores Lily. He pretends he does not hear her. He makes his car go vroom vroom on the table. + +Lily feels sad. She thinks Ben does not like her cat. She thinks Ben does not want to play with her. She picks up her cat and goes to the living room. She finds a quiet spot on the sofa. She hugs her cat and says, "I like you, cat. You are my friend." + +Mama sees Lily and Ben. She sees Lily is sad and Ben is ignoring her. She goes to the kitchen and talks to Ben. + +"Ben, why are you ignoring Lily? She made a cat with dough. She wants to show you. She wants to play with you. Don't you like her cat?" Mama asks. + +Ben looks at Mama. He feels sorry. He says, "I like her cat. It is cute. But I like my car more. It is cool. I want to play with my car." + +Mama says, "I understand. You can play with your car. But you can also play with Lily. She is your sister. She loves you. You can share your dough and make more things together. It will be more fun." + +Ben thinks. He says, "You are right, Mama. I love Lily too. I will share my dough and play with her. I will say sorry to her." + +Ben takes his car and goes to the living room. He sees Lily on the sofa. He says, "Lily, I am sorry. I was ignoring you. I like your cat. It is cute. Do you want to see my car? It is cool. We can play with dough together. We can make more cats and cars and other things. Do you want to?" + +Lily looks at Ben. She smiles. She says, "Yes, Ben, I want to. I am sorry too. I was sad. I like your car. It is cool. We can play with dough together. We can make more things. We can be friends." + +Lily and Ben hug. They take their dough and go back to the kitchen. They share their dough and make more shapes and animals. They have fun. Mama is happy. She says, "That's my good twins. I am proud of you." +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bucket near the slide. They ran to the bucket and looked inside. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim said. He pulled out a shiny red toy car. "This is mine!" + +"No, it's mine!" Sam said. He grabbed the car from Tim. "I saw it first!" + +They started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the big dog that came to the bucket. The dog was hungry and angry. It saw the car and wanted it too. + +The dog barked and jumped on Tim and Sam.

But sometimes I have to bring you here because I have no one to look after you at home. I have to work hard to earn money for us. I know it's hard for you, but you have to be patient and obedient and not touch things that are not yours. You have to relax and play with your toys and not bother the people in the office. They are grumpy and busy because they have a lot of work to do and they are stressed. They need to relax too. Maybe if you smile at them and say hello, they will smile back at you and be nicer to you. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I will be good and relax and play with my toys and not touch anything. I will smile at the people and say hello. Maybe they will be less grumpy and more happy. I love you, mom." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Sara. You are a good girl. Come on, let's go back to the office and apologize to everyone and say thank you for their help. Then we can go home and have some ice cream. How does that sound?" + +Sara smiled and said, "That sounds great, mom. Thank you. Let's go." + +The moral value of the story is: Be respectful of other people's work and property. Be curious but not reckless. Be polite and friendly to others.

They are happy and generous friends. +Anna and Ben are playing with their dolls. They like to make clothes for them with pieces of cloth and thread. Anna has a pink thread and Ben has a blue thread. + +"Look, I made a dress for Lily," Anna says, showing her doll. "She is very pretty in pink." + +"I made a shirt for Tom," Ben says, showing his doll. "He is very strong in blue." + +They are happy with their dolls, but they want to make more clothes. They look for more thread, but they cannot find any. + +"Maybe Mom has some thread," Anna says. "Let's go ask her." + +They go to the kitchen, where Mom is making a cake. They see a big basket of thread on the table. + +"Mom, can we have some thread, please?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, sweeties, you can have some thread," Mom says.
