Lily asked, seeing Tom with the needle. + +"I'm making a hole in my clay. It's fun!" Tom said. + +"No, Tom, that's not fun. That's bad. You are hurting your clay. And the needle is sharp. It can hurt you too." Lily said. + +"But I like it. It's my clay. I can do what I want." Tom said. + +He poked his clay again. But this time, he poked his finger too. He felt a sharp pain and dropped the needle. He started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Tom cried. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw his finger bleeding. + +"Oh, Tom, I'm sorry. You hurt yourself. Let me help you." Lily said. + +She took a tissue and wrapped it around his finger. She kissed his finger and said, + +"It's okay, Tom. It will get better. But you have to be careful with the needle. It's not a toy. It's for sewing. And you have to be nice to your clay. It's your friend. You don't want to hurt your friend, do you?" + +Tom shook his head. He felt sorry for his clay and his finger. + +"No, Lily. I don't want to hurt my friend. I'm sorry. I was silly. Can you forgive me?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, Tom. I forgive you. You are my friend too. And friends help each other and share with each other. That's what makes them happy." Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They put the needle away and played with their clay again. They learned to be careful and kind. And they had a great time. +Lily was a gifted girl. She could draw and sing and dance very well. She liked to make cards for her friends and family. She used paper, crayons, stickers and glitter to make them pretty and colorful. + +One day, Lily wanted to make a card for her mom. It was her mom's birthday and Lily wanted to surprise her. She found a big piece of paper and some crayons. She drew a big heart and wrote "I love you, Mom" inside. She also drew a cake with candles and a flower. She added some stickers and glitter to make it shiny. + +She was very happy with her card. She hid it under her pillow and waited for her mom to come home. When her mom came home, Lily ran to hug her and said "Happy birthday, Mom!" She gave her the card and said "I made this for you. I hope you like it." + +Her mom was very surprised and happy. She opened the card and saw Lily's beautiful drawing and writing. She smiled and said "Thank you, Lily. This is the best card ever. You are so gifted and sweet. I love you, too." She hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. + +Lily felt warm and proud. She was glad that her mom liked her card. She said "You're welcome, Mom. You are the best mom ever. Can we have cake now?" Her mom laughed and said "Of course, we can. Let's go to the kitchen and celebrate." They went to the kitchen and had cake and ice cream. They sang and danced and had fun. Lily's card became her mom's favorite thing. She put it on the fridge and looked at it every day. Lily and her mom were very happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they want to go to the park. But it is very foggy. They cannot see far. + +"Let's wear our hats and coats," Tom says. "Then we will not be cold." + +"OK," Mia says. "But we have to be careful. The fog is thick." + +They wear their hats and coats. They look adorable. They hold hands and walk to the park. They are happy. + +But they do not see the big truck. The truck is fast and loud. The truck does not see them either. The fog is too thick. + +The truck hits Tom and Mia. They fall down. They do not get up. They are not happy. They are hurt. + +The truck driver stops. He is scared and sorry. He calls for help. But it is too late. Tom and Mia are gone. + +The fog is still thick. It covers them like a blanket. But it does not keep them warm. It does not make them happy. It is a bad fog. It is a bad day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big hill with many flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see the view. + +"Let's go up the hill," Tom said. "It will be fun." + +"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be back by noon. That's when mom will pick us up." + +They started to climb the hill. It was not easy. The hill was steep and the sun was hot. They felt tired and thirsty. But they kept going. They wanted to reach the top. + +They climbed and climbed. The sun increased in the sky. It was almost noon. They did not know. They did not have a watch. They did not see mom waiting for them at the park. + +They finally reached the top of the hill. They saw the view. It was beautiful. They saw the park, the town, the river, and the mountains. They smiled and hugged. + +"We did it," Tom said. "We are strong." + +"Yes, we are," Lily said. "But I'm hungry. And I miss mom. Let's go back." + +They turned around. They saw a big problem. The hill was on fire. The fire had started from a campfire that someone had left. The fire had spread quickly. The fire was near them. The fire was scary. + +"Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "Help us!" + +But no one heard them. No one saw them. They were too far and too high. They were trapped by the fire. They were scared and sad. They wished they had not climbed the hill. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had been back by noon. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they find a big box. They want to see what is inside. + +Tim says, "I will carry the box to the house. It is mine." Kim says, "No, I will carry the box. It is mine." They both pull the box and fight. + +The box is too heavy for them. They drop the box on the ground. The box breaks open. They see a lot of smelly things inside. They are old clothes, shoes, and a band. The band has a guitar, a drum, and a microphone. The twins do not like the smelly things. They say, "Yuck!" + +Mom comes out and sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Who did this? Where did you get this box?" The twins point at each other and say, "He did it. She did it." Mom says, "You both did it. You have to clean up the yard and say sorry. This box is from the trash. It is not a toy." + +Tim and Kim are sad. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They help Mom to put the smelly things back in the box. They carry the box to the trash can. They learn to share and not to fight. They hug and say, "We are sorry. We love you." Mom smiles and says, "I love you too." +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big grill in the yard of a house. They wanted to see what it was, so they went closer. The grill was shiny and had a lid and a handle. + +"Let's open it and look inside," Tom said. He was curious and brave. + +"No, we shouldn't," Lily said. She was careful and honest. "It might be hot or dirty or belong to someone." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He grabbed the handle and lifted the lid. He did not know that the grill was on and had fire and smoke inside. He screamed and dropped the lid. His hand was burned and hurt a lot. + +Lily ran to him and tried to help him. She was scared and sad. She prayed that Tom would be okay and that someone would come and take him to the doctor. But no one came. The house was empty and the grill was left alone. Tom and Lily were stuck in the yard with the grill and the pain. They cried and wished they had never seen the grill. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. One day, they went to the park with their moms. There was a big slide that looked very fun, but also very high. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Sam said. He ran to the ladder and climbed up. + +Lila followed him, but she felt fearful. She did not like high things. She looked down and saw the ground far away. She wanted to go back, but Sam was already at the top. + +"Come on, Lila!" Sam called. "It's easy and fun!" + +Lila shook her head. She was too scared. She hugged the ladder and did not move. + +Sam saw that Lila was fearful. He wanted to help her. He slid down and came to her side. + +"It's okay, Lila," he said. "I will support you. We can go together. I will hold your hand and we will go slow." + +Lila looked at Sam. He was her best friend. He had a purple shirt that she liked. He was brave and kind. She trusted him. + +"Okay, Sam," she said. "Let's try." + +Sam smiled and took her hand. They climbed up the ladder again, step by step. Sam talked to Lila and made her laugh. He told her how fun the slide was and how proud he was of her. + +They reached the top and sat on the slide. Lila was still fearful, but she felt better with Sam. Sam held her hand and said, "Ready, set, go!" + +They slid down together, fast and smooth. They felt the wind and the sun and the joy. They laughed and shouted and landed on the ground. + +They did it! They went on the big slide! + +Lila hugged Sam and said, "Thank you, Sam. You are the best friend ever. You supported me and made me brave." + +Sam hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Lila. You are the best friend ever. You tried something new and had fun." + +They smiled and ran to the swings. They played and played until their moms came to get them. They said goodbye and promised to play again soon. + +They were happy. They were best friends. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Lila finds a big bow in her mom's closet. She puts it on her head and says, "Look, Ben, I am a princess!" + +Ben laughs and says, "You are not a princess, Lila. You are just a girl with a bow. That is a fake bow. It is not real." + +Lila feels sad and angry. She says, "No, Ben, you are wrong. This is a real bow. It is very pretty and shiny. You are just a mean boy. You are not my friend." + +Ben feels sorry and says, "I am sorry, Lila. I did not mean to hurt you. I was just joking. You are my friend. You can be a princess if you want. Can I be a prince?" + +Lila smiles and says, "Yes, Ben, you can be a prince. But you need a crown. Here, take this hat. It is a fake crown, but it is also very pretty and shiny." + +Ben puts on the hat and says, "Thank you, Lila. You are a nice girl. You are my friend. Let's play together." + +Lila and Ben hug and play with their dolls and cars. They pretend to be a princess and a prince. They are happy. They have fun. They forget about the fake bow and the fake crown. They are real friends. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and a jet. The jet is their favorite toy. It is red and shiny. It can fly very fast. + +One day, they are playing with the jet in the living room. They make zooming noises and pretend to fly around the world. They see mountains, oceans, and animals. They have a lot of fun. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and get a snack," Mia says. "I'm hungry." + +"OK," Tom says. "But don't forget the jet. We need it for our next adventure." + +They run to the kitchen and find some cookies and milk. They sit on the table and eat their snack. They talk about where they want to fly next. + +"I want to go to the moon," Mia says. "I want to see the stars and the aliens." + +"I want to go to the jungle," Tom says. "I want to see the monkeys and the snakes." + +They finish their snack and get ready to play again. But when they go back to the living room, they can't find the jet. They look under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the closet. They can't find it anywhere. + +"Where is the jet?" Mia asks. "We need it to fly." + +"Maybe someone took it," Tom says. "Maybe Mom or Dad or the dog." + +They run to the other rooms and ask their parents and the dog. But no one has seen the jet. They are sad and confused. + +Then they hear a crunching noise. They follow the noise and find their baby brother, Sam. Sam is sitting on the floor with the jet in his mouth. He is biting and chewing it. He has broken the wings and the tail. He looks happy. + +"Sam!" Tom and Mia shout. "That's our jet! Give it back!" + +But Sam doesn't listen. He keeps biting the jet. He likes the taste. He thinks it is a candy. + +Tom and Mia are very angry and sad. They try to take the jet from Sam, but he cries and holds it tight. They can't get it back. They can't fly anymore. + +They wish they had not left the jet in the living room. They wish they had taken it with them to the kitchen. They wish they had not let Sam taste their jet. They learn a lesson. They have to be careful with their toys. They have to share and protect them. They have to find a new jet. +Anna liked to help her mom with the flowers. She saw a big vase on the table with many colors. She wanted to put some flowers in the vase too. She took a chair and climbed on it. She reached for the vase. + +"Anna, be careful!" her mom said. "The vase is heavy and can break. Let me help you." + +But Anna wanted to do it by herself. She was persistent. She did not listen to her mom. She tried to lift the vase with both hands. But the vase was too heavy for her. She lost her balance and fell off the chair. The vase fell with her and broke into many pieces. + +Anna started to cry. She was hurt and scared. Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She checked if Anna was okay. She was not angry, but she was sad. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Anna said. "I wanted to help you with the flowers." + +"I know, sweetie," her mom said. "But you have to be careful and listen to me. The vase was very special to me. It was a gift from your grandma. But I'm glad you're okay. You are more special to me than any vase." + +She kissed Anna and cleaned her wound. She also cleaned the broken vase. She told Anna that they could still use the flowers. They put them in a smaller vase and placed it on the window. Anna smiled and hugged her mom. She learned her lesson. She would not try to lift heavy things by herself again. She would ask for help and listen to her mom. +Lily and Max are hungry. They want to eat lunch. Mom says, "I have a salad for you. Do you like salad?" + +Lily says, "Yes, I like salad. Salad is good and green. What is in the salad, Mom?" + +Mom says, "There are lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cheese, and chicken in the salad. And I have a dressing for you. It is orange and sweet. Do you want to try it?" + +Max says, "Yes, I want to try it. How do we open it, Mom?" + +Mom says, "You have to twist the cap and squeeze the bottle. Like this. See? The dressing comes out. Now you can put some on your salad. Be careful, not too much." + +Lily and Max twist the cap and squeeze the bottle. They put some dressing on their salad. They take a bite. They smile. + +Lily says, "Mmm, this is yummy. The dressing is orange and sweet. I like it." + +Max says, "Me too. This is a good salad. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you like it. Enjoy your lunch." +Lily was a good girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big dollhouse that was very tidy. She liked to pretend that she was a nurse and take care of her dolls when they were sick. + +One day, she decided to invite her friend Tom to play with her. She called him on the phone and said, "Hi, Tom. Do you want to come to my house and play with my dolls? I am a nurse and I can make them feel better." + +Tom said, "Yes, Lily. I want to play with you. I can be a doctor and help you with your dolls. I will bring my stethoscope and my bandages." + +Lily was happy and said, "OK, Tom. See you soon. Bye." + +Tom came to Lily's house with his mom. Lily showed him her dollhouse and her dolls. They had a lot of fun playing together. They checked the dolls' hearts, gave them medicine, and put bandages on their boo-boos. + +Lily's mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of Lily for being a good nurse and a good friend. She said, "You two are very kind and caring. Do you want some cookies and milk?" + +Lily and Tom said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Lily's mom." + +They ate the cookies and drank the milk. They thanked Lily's mom and said goodbye. Lily and Tom hugged and said, "You are my best friend. Let's play again soon." + +The end. +Lily and Sam went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the seal. The seal was big and gray, and had a wide mouth. It could clap its flippers and make loud noises. + +"Look, mom, the seal is so funny!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is. Do you know what it eats?" mom asked. + +"Fish!" Sam said. + +"That's right. And do you know who gives the fish to the seal?" mom asked. + +"The zookeeper!" Lily said. + +"Yes. And do you know what the seal does when it gets the fish?" mom asked. + +The children thought for a moment. Then they saw the zookeeper come with a bucket of fish. He threw some fish to the seal, and the seal caught them with its wide mouth. Then the seal did something that surprised the children. It looked at the zookeeper and made a sound like "arf arf". It sounded like "thank you". + +"Wow, the seal said thank you!" Sam said. + +"That's very polite of the seal. It knows how to appreciate what it gets. Do you know what that means?" mom asked. + +The children nodded. They knew that it meant to be grateful and happy for what you have. + +"That's a good lesson for us, too. We should always say thank you when someone gives us something or helps us. It makes them feel good, and it makes us feel good, too. Can you say thank you to the zookeeper?" mom asked. + +The children smiled and waved at the zookeeper. They shouted "thank you" to him. The zookeeper smiled back and waved, too. He was glad that the children liked the seal and learned something from it. + +The end. +Tom and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with chalk on the sidewalk and pretend to drive around. + +One day, they find a big oak tree in the park. The tree has many leaves and acorns. Tom and Mia think it is a good place to park their cars. They drive their cars under the tree and line them up. + +"Look, Mia, we have a car lot!" Tom says. "We can sell our cars to other kids." + +"OK, Tom, but I want to keep my pink car. It is my favorite," Mia says. + +They sit under the tree and wait for customers. Soon, a boy comes by with a bike. He sees the cars and stops. + +"Hi, I like your cars. Can I buy one?" he asks. + +"Sure, you can buy one. They are two cookies each," Tom says. + +The boy looks at the cars and picks a blue one. He gives Tom two cookies and takes the car. + +"Thank you, bye!" he says and rides away. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They have cookies and cars. They eat one cookie each and save the other for later. + +They play with their cars some more. They make noises and honk their horns. They have fun. + +But then, Mia makes a mistake. She drives her pink car too fast and hits a rock. The car flips over and rolls away. Mia is sad. She runs after her car. + +"Tom, help me! My car is gone!" she cries. + +Tom hears Mia and sees her car. It is rolling down a hill. He runs after it too. + +"Mia, wait! I will get your car!" he shouts. + +They chase the car down the hill. The car goes faster and faster. It is too far for them to catch. + +But then, the car hits a bump. It flies in the air and lands on its wheels. It starts to roll back up the hill. It is going in reverse! + +Tom and Mia are surprised. They stop running and watch the car. The car comes back to them. It stops near their feet. + +"Wow, look, Mia! Your car came back!" Tom says. + +Mia is happy. She picks up her car and hugs it. + +"Yay, my car came back! It is a magic car!" she says. + +Tom and Mia smile. They hug each other and their cars. They go back to the oak tree and play some more. They are careful to drive slow and avoid rocks. They have a good day. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat rice for lunch. But sometimes they fight over the same toy or the same spoon. They make each other angry and sad. + +One day, Lily sees Ben playing with a red car. She wants the red car too. She thinks it is faster and prettier than her blue car. She feels jealous of Ben. She walks over to him and tries to grab the red car from his hand. + +Ben does not want to share the red car. He likes it too much. He holds it tight and says, "No, Lily, this is my car. You have your own car." He pushes Lily away with his other hand. + +Lily does not like being pushed. She feels more angry and sad. She pinches Ben hard on his arm. Ben feels a sharp pain and drops the red car. He cries out loud and says, "Ow, Lily, that hurts! Why did you pinch me?" + +Lily picks up the red car and runs away. She thinks she has won. But she does not feel happy. She feels guilty and sorry. She sees Ben crying and rubbing his arm. She remembers that he is her brother and she loves him. + +She goes back to Ben and gives him the red car. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben, I was wrong. I should not have pinched you. You can have the red car. I like my blue car too." She hugs him and kisses his arm. + +Ben stops crying and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily, I forgive you. I'm sorry, too. I should have shared the red car. You can play with it sometimes. I like your blue car too." He hugs her back and kisses her cheek. + +They both feel happy and sorry. They decide to play together with both cars and share them. They also decide to share their rice for lunch and use the same spoon. They are twins and they love each other. +Bella the squirrel was very sleepy. She had been playing all day with her friends in the forest. She wanted to go to her nest and take a nap, but she had one more thing to do. She had to find an acorn for her mom. + +She looked around the trees and the ground, but she could not see any acorns. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She was too tired to keep looking. She saw a big oak tree with a hole in it. Maybe there was an acorn inside, she thought. + +She climbed up the tree and peeked into the hole. She saw a shiny brown acorn. She reached in and grabbed it. She was about to leave when she heard a voice. + +"Hey, that's my acorn!" It was Sammy the chipmunk. He lived in the hole with his family. He looked angry and sad. + +Bella felt guilty. She knew she had done something bad. She did not want to make Sammy cry. She said, "I'm sorry, Sammy. I did not know it was your acorn. I was looking for one for my mom. I'm very sleepy and I wanted to go home." + +Sammy looked at Bella. He saw that she was sorry and sleepy. He said, "It's okay, Bella. I have more acorns in my hole. You can have this one for your mom. But next time, please ask before you take something that is not yours." + +Bella smiled and thanked Sammy. She said, "You are very kind, Sammy. I will ask next time. I hope you have a good nap." She took the acorn and climbed down the tree. She ran to her nest and gave the acorn to her mom. Her mom hugged her and said, "You are a good squirrel, Bella. I'm proud of you." Bella snuggled with her mom and fell asleep. She dreamed of acorns and friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big drum near a tree. Lily wanted to play with the drum. She ran to the drum and hit it with her hands. It made a loud sound. Boom! Boom! Boom! + +Ben followed Lily. He wanted to play with the drum too. He tried to hit the drum with his feet. But he missed the drum and hit the tree. It made a soft sound. Thud! Thud! Thud! + +"Ow!" Ben cried. "That hurt!" + +Lily stopped hitting the drum. She looked at Ben. He was holding his foot. He had a red mark on his foot. Lily felt sorry for Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "Are you okay?" + +Ben nodded. He was still crying. Lily hugged him. She gave him a kiss on his foot. + +"It's okay, Lily," Ben said. "It was an accident. It doesn't hurt so much now." + +Lily smiled. She took Ben's hand. They walked away from the drum and the tree. They found a swing and a slide. They played on the swing and the slide. They had fun. They forgot about the drum and the tree. They were happy. +Lila liked to work with her band. Her band was her friends who played music with her. They had a drum, a guitar, a flute and a bell. They liked to make songs and sing them to their families. + +One day, Lila's band had a big show. They worked hard to practice their songs. They wanted to make everyone happy and proud. But Lila had a problem. Her flute was broken. She did not know how to fix it. She was sad and scared. + +She told her band about her flute. They were sorry for her. They wanted to help her. They had an idea. They said, "Lila, you can use our bell. It makes a nice sound too. You can play it with your hand. We will show you how. You are our friend and we are loyal to you." + +Lila was happy and grateful. She hugged her band. They showed her how to play the bell. It was fun and easy. She learned fast. She said, "Thank you, band. You are the best. I am loyal to you too." + +They went to the show. They played their songs. They used the drum, the guitar, the flute and the bell. They sounded great. Everyone clapped and cheered. Lila's band was happy and proud. They smiled and hugged. They were a good band. They worked well together. They were loyal to each other. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to look for stones and leaves and flowers. Lily found a white stone that was very smooth and shiny. She showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I found a white stone. It is pretty, right?" Lily said. + +Tom nodded. He liked the white stone too. He wanted to have it. He reached out his hand and tried to take it from Lily. + +"Give me the white stone, Lily. I want it," Tom said. + +Lily pulled back her hand. She did not want to give Tom the white stone. She liked it too much. + +"No, Tom, you cannot have it. It is mine. I found it first. It belongs to me," Lily said. + +Tom and Lily started to argue. They both wanted the white stone. They did not want to share. They raised their voices and made angry faces. + +"Mine!" Tom shouted. + +"Mine!" Lily shouted. + +A lady who was sitting on a bench nearby heard them. She walked over to them and smiled. She had a kind voice. + +"Hello, children. What is the matter? Why are you fighting?" the lady asked. + +Tom and Lily stopped shouting. They looked at the lady. They felt a little ashamed. + +"We are fighting over this white stone. We both want it. It is very pretty," Tom said. + +The lady nodded. She looked at the white stone. It was indeed very pretty. She had an idea. + +"I see. Well, how about this? Instead of fighting over the white stone, why don't you share it? You can take turns holding it and looking at it. You can also tell each other stories about where the white stone came from and what it can do. Maybe it is a magic stone, or a star that fell from the sky, or a gift from a fairy. What do you think?" the lady suggested. + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They liked the idea of sharing the white stone and telling stories. They did not want to fight anymore. They wanted to be friends. + +"Okay, we can share it. Thank you, lady. You are very nice," Tom said. + +"Yes, thank you, lady. You are very smart," Lily said. + +The lady smiled. She was happy to see them get along. She gave them each a hug and a candy. + +"You are very welcome, children. You are very sweet. Now, have fun with your white stone and your stories. And remember, sharing is caring," the lady said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They thanked the lady again and waved goodbye. They sat down on the grass and started to share the white stone and tell stories. They had a lot of fun. They learned that the white stone belonged to both of them, and to their friendship. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Anna gets a big envelope in the mail. It has a sticker with a princess on it. Anna is very happy. She opens the envelope and finds a new dress and a crown. She puts them on and feels like a princess. + +Ben sees Anna with the new dress and the crown. He is jealous. He wants a new dress and a crown too. He thinks Anna is not fair. He decides to take them from her. He waits until Anna goes to the bathroom. Then he runs to her room and grabs the dress and the crown. He puts them on and runs away. + +Anna comes back from the bathroom. She sees that her dress and her crown are gone. She is very sad. She cries and cries. She looks for Ben. She finds him in the garden. He is wearing her dress and her crown. He is laughing and dancing. Anna is very angry. She runs to him and tries to get them back. But Ben is stronger. He pushes her and she falls. She hurts her knee and her elbow. She cries more. + +Ben hears Anna crying. He feels bad. He wants to say sorry. He wants to give her back the dress and the crown. But it is too late. Anna's mom comes and sees what happened. She is very mad. She scolds Ben and takes him to his mom. She tells his mom what he did. His mom is also very mad. She takes away his toys and sends him to his room. He has no one to play with. He is very lonely. + +Anna's mom hugs Anna and gives her a band-aid. She tells her she is very brave and very kind. She helps her put on the dress and the crown again. She tells her she is a beautiful princess. She takes her to the park and buys her ice cream. She meets other friends and plays with them. She is very happy. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a pink teddy bear that she loved very much. She called it Fluffy and hugged it all the time. Max had a blue car that he liked to zoom around the floor. He called it Speedy and made vroom-vroom sounds. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. They stopped playing and looked at each other. Who could it be? They heard their mom's voice from the kitchen. "I'll get it, kids. Stay here and be good." They heard their mom open the door and talk to someone. They could not hear what they said, but they heard their mom sound scared and angry. + +They heard their mom say, "No, you can't come in. Go away. Leave us alone." They heard the other person say, "Give me the money or I'll hurt you. This is your last chance. Don't make me do something bad." They heard their mom scream, "Help! Help! Someone call the police!" They heard the door slam and the lock click. + +Lily and Max were very scared. They did not know what was happening. They did not know who the bad person was. They did not know what to do. They hugged each other and their toys. They wished their dad was home. He was at work. He was a firefighter. He helped people who were in trouble. + +They heard their mom run to the living room. She looked very sad and scared. She had tears in her eyes. She picked up Lily and Max and hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, kids. Everything will be okay. I love you very much. The bad person is gone. He was a threat. He wanted to take our money. But I locked the door and called the police. They are coming to help us. They will catch the bad person and make him go away." + +Lily and Max felt a little better. They loved their mom very much. They said, "We love you, mom. You are very brave. We are sorry you are sad and scared. We are here for you. Fluffy and Speedy are here too. They are adorable. They make us happy. Can we play with them until dad comes home?" + +Their mom smiled and kissed them. She said, "Yes, you can play with them. They are adorable. They make me happy too. You are very good kids.

One day, they see a big truck with a loud horn. The truck is red and shiny. Tim and Sue want to see the truck. + +"Can we go to the truck?" Tim asks Sue. + +"Yes, let's go!" Sue says.

"Can we hear your horn?" + +"Sure, why not?" the driver says. He pushes a button. The horn makes a loud noise. Tim and Sue laugh. They like the noise. + +"Can we see inside your truck?" Sue asks. She is nosy. She wants to know everything. + +"Sorry, kids, you can't," the driver says. "It is not safe. There are many things in the truck. They can hurt you." + +"Please, please, please!" Sue begs. She does not listen. She tries to climb the truck. + +"Stop, Sue!" Tim says. He is scared. He does not want Sue to get hurt. + +"Stop, Sue!" the driver says. He is angry. He does not want Sue to break his truck. + +But Sue does not stop. She is too nosy. She reaches the door of the truck. She opens it. She sees a big dog. The dog is black and furry. The dog does not like Sue. The dog barks. The dog jumps. The dog bites Sue. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sue cries. She is hurt. She is sorry. She falls from the truck. + +"Help, help, help!" Tim cries. He is worried. He runs to Sue. + +"Help, help, help!" the driver cries. He is sorry. He runs to Sue. + +They take Sue to the doctor. The doctor is nice. He gives Sue a bandage and a lollipop. He tells Sue to be careful and not to be nosy. + +Sue learns her lesson. She says sorry to the driver and the dog. She says thank you to the doctor and Tim. She does not want to see the truck anymore. She wants to play with Tim. They play in the park. They are happy. They are friends. The end. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and bridges and houses. They also like to count how many blocks they have. + +"Look, I have ten blocks!" Anna says, pointing to her tower. + +"I have more!" Ben says, showing his bridge. "I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve blocks!" + +Anna is not happy. She wants to have more blocks too. She looks around and sees a circle on the floor. It is a hoop that they use to jump in and out. She has an idea. + +"I have a circle!" Anna says, picking up the hoop. "You don't have a circle!" + +Ben looks at the hoop. He does not think it is a block. He thinks it is funny that Anna wants to count it. + +"That is not a block!" Ben says, laughing. "That is a circle! You can't count a circle!" + +"Yes, I can!" Anna says, holding the hoop. "I can count one circle!" + +Ben shakes his head. He thinks Anna is silly. He does not want to play with her anymore. He takes his blocks and goes to another corner. + +Anna is sad. She does not understand why Ben does not like her circle. She thinks it is a nice circle. She puts it down and goes to find another friend. +Lily loved to clap. She clapped when she was happy, when she saw something funny, when she sang a song. She clapped with her hands, with her feet, with her toys. She clapped all day long. + +One night, Lily had a dream. She dreamed that she was in a beautiful garden, full of flowers and butterflies. She saw a big rainbow in the sky, and a fairy with wings. The fairy smiled at her and said, "Hello, Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily nodded and clapped. She was so excited. She followed the fairy to a pond, where they saw some ducks and frogs. They fed them some bread and watched them swim and hop.

Do you want to see it?" + +Tim nods and puts down his guitar. He follows his mom to the living room. There, he sees a man with a real guitar. The man is his uncle Bob. He is a rock star too. + +"Hi, Tim," Uncle Bob says. "I heard you like to play guitar. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tim is very happy. He runs to Uncle Bob and hugs him. He says, "Yes, please! Can I pick your guitar?" + +Uncle Bob laughs and says, "Sure, you can. But first, let me show you how to hold it and strum it. It's a bit different from your yellow guitar. But you can learn fast. You have talent, just like me." + +Tim and Uncle Bob sit on the couch and play guitar together. They make music and have fun. Tim feels like a rock star too. He loves his uncle and his yellow guitar. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to learn new things. They went to a big place with many books and pictures called a museum. There, they saw many interesting things, like dinosaurs, stars, and paintings. + +One day, they saw a man talking to a group of people near a big skeleton. He was giving a lecture about the bones and how they belonged to a giant animal that lived long ago. Ben and Lily wanted to listen, but they were too small to see or hear well. + +"Let's go closer," Ben whispered to Lily. "Maybe we can learn something." + +"OK," Lily agreed. "But be quiet. We don't want to bother the man or the people." + +They tiptoed closer to the front, but they still could not see the skeleton very well. They saw a small stool near the wall and decided to climb on it. From there, they had a better view of the bones and the man. + +The man was saying something about teeth and claws and how the animal used them to hunt and eat. Ben and Lily found it very interesting and wanted to know more. They started to discuss what they heard in low voices. + +"Wow, look at those teeth!" Ben said. "They are so big and sharp!" + +"I know," Lily said. "And those claws! They must have been very strong and fast!" + +"Do you think they were scary?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe," Lily said. "But maybe they were also friendly to each other." + +The man heard them and smiled. He stopped his lecture and walked over to them. He asked them their names and what they thought of the skeleton. Ben and Lily told him what they discussed and asked him more questions. The man answered them kindly and showed them some pictures and models of the animal. He told them it was called a Tyrannosaurus rex, or T-rex for short. + +Ben and Lily were very happy and thanked the man for his lecture. They learned a lot of new things and had fun.

It had a broken leg and a ripped ear. Tom felt sorry for the dog. He wanted to help it. + +"Hello, dog," Tom said. "Do you need a friend? I can fix your leg and your ear. I have tools and bandages.

He wrapped the dog's leg and ear with bandages. He fixed the dog. + +The dog felt better. It wagged its tail and licked Tom's face. It followed Tom to his home. Tom was happy. He had a friend to play with. He named the dog Spot. + +Tom and Spot did everything together. They played, they ate, they slept. They fixed things with Tom's tools. They were not lonely anymore. They were happy. +Lily was sad. Her cat, Spot, was sick. He did not play or eat. He only slept on his bed. Lily wanted to help him. + +She asked her mom, "How can I make Spot better?" + +Her mom said, "Spot needs to see the vet. The vet is a person who helps animals. The vet can give Spot some medicine and heal him." + +Lily nodded. She hugged Spot and said, "Don't worry, Spot. The vet will make you well." + +The next day, Lily and her mom took Spot to the vet. The vet was nice. He checked Spot and said, "Spot has a fever. He needs some medicine and some water. He will be fine in a few days." + +He gave Spot some medicine and a bowl of water. He also gave Lily a plant. He said, "This is a mint plant. It smells good and it is good for cats. You can give Spot some leaves to chew. It will make him feel better and happier." + +Lily smiled. She thanked the vet and took the plant. The plant was green and thin. It had small white flowers. + +She went home with her mom and Spot. She put the plant on the windowsill.

She sees Ben near the goal. She passes the ball to him. "Ben, catch!" she shouts. + +Ben catches the ball. He kicks it hard. The ball flies past the other team's goalie. It goes into the net. "Goal!" Ben yells. + +Lily and Ben hug. Their team cheers. They are happy. They win the game. + +After the game, they get a prize. The prize is a soft teddy bear. It has a red shirt and a blue scarf. Lily and Ben share the teddy bear. They take turns to hold it. + +They say thank you to their coach and their team. They say bye to the other team. They are good sports. They go home with their parents. They show them the teddy bear. They tell them about the game. They are proud. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running at them. Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do. + +They ran to the fence and tried to climb over. But the fence was too high. They looked for a gate, but there was none. They felt helpless. They cried for help. But no one was there to hear them. + +The dog came closer and closer. It jumped and bit Ben's pants. Ben screamed and kicked. Lily tried to pull him away. But the dog was too strong. It shook Ben's pants and tore them. Ben's leg was bleeding. + +Then they heard a whistle. It was a man. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog and made it stop. He came to Lily and Ben and said he was sorry. He said his dog was not mean, just playful. He said he would answer for what his dog did. He said he would take Ben to the doctor and buy him new pants. He said he would teach his dog to be nice. + +Lily and Ben were still scared, but they were also relieved. They thanked the man and went with him. They hoped Ben's leg would be okay.

They always wanted the same toy and did not want to share. + +One day, they found a big book in their dad's room. The book had many pictures of people and places from a long time ago. The book was called History. Lily and Ben both wanted to look at the book, but they did not want to look at it together. + +"Give me the book!" Lily said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "I want to see the pictures!" + +They pulled and tugged at the book, but neither of them would let go. They were very stubborn. They did not listen to their dad, who told them to stop fighting and share the book. + +Suddenly, the book ripped in half. Lily and Ben gasped. They had broken the book. They felt very bad. They had ruined the history. + +They looked at each other and said sorry. They realized that fighting was not good. They decided to tape the book back together and look at it nicely.

They were happy. +Sara and Ben like to play games. They have many games, but their favorite is tic-tac-toe. They draw a big grid on the sand with a stick.

We can see it from the window," Anna said. + +"Yes, it's beautiful. I'm so glad we found our room. And I'm so glad Bob helped us. He was very nice. He must be lonely working here all day.

Some of them looked messy and ugly. Lily did not understand them. She thought they were boring. + +"Mom, why are these paintings so boring?" she asked. "They don't look like anything. I don't like them." + +Her mom smiled and knelt down to her level. "Lily, these paintings are not boring. They are different. They are called abstract. The painters wanted to show their feelings and thoughts, not just what they saw. They used shapes and colors to express themselves. They wanted to make people think and feel something new." + +Lily frowned. She did not think that was a good way to paint. She liked to draw what she saw and what she liked. She did not want to make people think and feel something new. She wanted to make them happy and smile. + +"Mom, I don't want to be an abstract painter. I want to be a real painter. I want to make pretty pictures that look like something. Can we go home and draw with my crayons?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Of course, sweetie. You can be any kind of painter you want.

That's all she needed. +Lily liked to sing songs. She sang when she woke up, when she played, and when she went to bed. She had a lot of songs in her head.

She read the words and sang them out loud. She felt happy and excited. + +But then, something strange happened. As she sang the song, she started to disappear. First, her feet, then her legs, then her body, then her head. She was gone. She could not see herself or anything else. She could only hear her own voice. + +Lily was scared. She did not like to disappear. She wanted to see again. She wanted to stop the song. But she did not know how. She tried to remember the words, but they were hard. She forgot some of them.

The son was very excited. He hoped to catch a big fish. + +"Dad, how do we know when a fish bites?" the son questioned. + +The fisherman smiled. "You will feel a tug on your rod, like this." He pulled his rod slightly. + +"Then you have to pull back hard, like this." He lifted his rod and showed his son a small fish on his hook. + +"Wow, dad, you caught a fish!" the son exclaimed. + +"Yes, I did. Do you want to try?" the fisherman offered. + +"Yes, please!" the son agreed. + +He held his rod and watched the water. He felt a tug on his rod. He pulled back hard, like his dad. He lifted his rod and saw a big fish on his hook. + +"Look, dad, I caught a fish too!" the son shouted. + +"Good job, son, you are a great fisherman!" the fisherman praised. + +They were both very happy.

Follow me." + +Tom and Lily sneaked out of their room and tiptoed to the kitchen. They saw the jar of cookies on the counter. Tom climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. He opened it and took out two cookies. He gave one to Lily and took one for himself. + +"Yum, these are good," Tom said. "Do you want another one?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the cookies too. Tom took out two more cookies and handed one to Lily. They ate them quickly and smiled. + +"Let's go back to our room," Tom said. "We have to hide the evidence." + +They put the jar back on the counter and got off the chair. They ran to their room with the crumbs on their mouths and hands. They forgot to close the door behind them. + +Mom came home from work and smelled the cookies. She went to the kitchen and saw the jar. She opened it and saw that some cookies were missing. She saw the chair and the crumbs on the floor. She knew who took the cookies. + +She went to Tom and Lily's room and saw them playing on the mattress. She saw the crumbs on their mouths and hands. She was very angry. + +"Tom, Lily, did you take the cookies?" she asked. + +Tom and Lily looked at her and felt scared. They knew they were in trouble. + +"Um, no, Mom, we didn't," Tom lied. + +"Don't lie to me, Tom. I can see the crumbs. You and Lily took the cookies, didn't you?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They felt sorry. + +"Tom, Lily, you disobeyed me. You know you are not supposed to touch the cookies until after dinner. You are very naughty. You have to go to bed right now. No dinner, no stories, no toys. Just bed." + +Mom took Tom and Lily by their hands and dragged them to their bed. She took away their mattress and their pillows and their blankets. She left them on the floor with nothing to sleep on. She turned off the light and closed the door. + +"Good night, Tom, Lily," she said. "I hope you learned your lesson." + +Tom and Lily cried. They were hungry and cold and sad. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had not taken the cookies. They wished they had their mattress and their pillows and their blankets. They had a very bad night. +Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. One day, she saw a big purple flower in the garden. She had never seen such a flower before. She felt an urge to touch it and smell it. + +She ran to the flower and reached out her hand. But before she could touch it, a bee flew out of the flower and buzzed around her head. Lily was scared and ran away. She cried and looked for her mom. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to the garden. She saw the bee and the flower and understood what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't be afraid, my dear. The bee was just protecting the flower. It won't hurt you if you leave it alone. The flower is very beautiful, but some things are better to look at than to touch." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She still liked the flower, but she didn't want to touch it anymore. She asked her mom, "Can we look at other flowers in the garden?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, we can. There are many other flowers to see and smell. Come, let's go and find them." + +Lily and her mom walked around the garden and enjoyed the different colors and scents of the flowers. Lily was happy and curious again. She learned that being adventurous is fun, but also that she should be careful and respectful of nature. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the woods behind their house. They pretended they were explorers, looking for new lands and animals. They had a big stick for a map and a pine cone for a compass. + +One day, they found a big pine tree that had fallen down. It was very long and thick, and had many branches and needles. Ben and Lily decided to pretend it was a boat, and they climbed on top of it. + +"Look, Lily, we are sailing on the sea!" Ben said, waving his stick. "We can go anywhere we want!" + +Lily nodded, holding her pine cone. "Yes, Ben, we are very brave and smart! Maybe we can find an island with treasure!" + +They pretended to steer the pine tree boat, and made sounds like waves and wind. They had a lot of fun, until they heard a loud noise. + +"Roar!" It was a big bear, coming out of the bushes. It looked hungry and angry, and it saw Ben and Lily on the pine tree. + +Ben and Lily were very scared. They did not know what to do. They wished they had a real boat, or a real map, or a real compass. + +"Help!" Lily cried. "There is a bear!" + +Ben was troubled. He wanted to protect his sister, but he did not have anything to fight the bear with. He looked around, and saw a big rock near the pine tree. + +"Quick, Lily, jump off the boat and hide behind the rock!" Ben said. "I will try to scare the bear away!" + +Lily did as Ben said, and ran to the rock. Ben picked up a branch from the pine tree, and waved it at the bear. He shouted as loud as he could. + +"Go away, bear! This is our boat! You are not welcome here!" + +The bear was surprised by Ben's courage. It stopped and looked at him. It saw that he was only a small boy, with a small branch. It decided that he was not worth the trouble. It turned around and walked away, looking for easier food. + +Ben and Lily were relieved. They hugged each other, and thanked each other for being brave. They decided to go back to their house, and tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They left the pine tree boat, and took their stick and pine cone with them. They still liked to pretend, but they also liked to be safe. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They had a lot of fun. + +But then Ben tripped and fell on the grass. He hurt his knee. It was bleeding a little. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Lily ran to him and said, "Don't cry, Ben. It's okay. I'll help you." She took a tissue from her pocket and wiped his knee gently. She said, "There, there. It's just a scratch. It will heal soon." + +Ben looked at his knee and saw that it was not so bad. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. It doesn't hurt so much now." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. Come on, let's play some more. The park is full of harmless things. Like flowers and birds and swings. They won't hurt you. They will make you happy." + +Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Lily. Let's play some more. You are right. The park is a nice place. I like it here." + +They got up and held hands. They ran and jumped and slid again. They had a lot of fun. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with a sign that said "Ice Cream". They ran to the truck and asked for a cone each. The man gave them a cone with a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of chocolate. They were very happy. + +They walked to the park, licking their cones. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. They saw some flowers and birds and smiled. They found a bench and sat down to enjoy their ice cream. + +But then, a big boy came and saw their cones. He was bigger and older than them, and he looked mean. He walked up to them and said, "Give me your ice cream, or I will hit you." + +Lila and Ben were scared and sad. They did not want to give up their cones, but they did not want to get hurt. They looked at each other and did not know what to do. + +Then, they heard a voice behind them. It was their friend, Sam. Sam was not big, but he was brave and kind. He said to the big boy, "Leave them alone. They are my friends, and they worked hard to get their ice cream. You cannot take what is not yours. That is wrong and mean." + +The big boy looked at Sam and laughed. He said, "You are small and weak. You cannot stop me. I will take their ice cream and yours too." + +He reached out to grab Lila's cone, but Sam was faster. He pushed the big boy's hand away and said, "No, you will not. You are a bully and a thief. You should be ashamed of yourself." + +The big boy was angry and tried to hit Sam, but Sam dodged and kicked him in the leg. The big boy stumbled and dropped his own cone on the ground. He cried out in pain and frustration. + +Lila and Ben cheered for Sam and thanked him for saving their ice cream. They offered him a lick of their cones, but he said, "No, thank you. You keep your cones. You deserve them. I have my own cone. It is in my pocket." + +He pulled out a cone wrapped in a napkin. It was a cone with a scoop of strawberry and a scoop of mint. He said, "I bought this cone with my own money. I saved it for later. I like strawberry and mint. They are my favorite flavors." + +Lila and Ben smiled and said, "We like vanilla and chocolate. They are our favorite flavors. We are glad you are our friend. You are brave and kind." + +They hugged Sam and ate their ice cream together. The sun was still shining and the sky was still blue. They felt happy and proud. + +The moral of the story is: You should not take what is not yours. You should be brave and kind. You should share with your friends. You should enjoy what you have. +Tom and Anna like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They have many different colors and sizes. They pretend they are driving on the road and going to different places. Sometimes they make noises like honk, beep, and vroom. + +One day, they decide to play a new game. They want to be traffic managers. They use some blocks and books to make a big city with streets and buildings. They put their toy cars and trucks on the streets and move them around. They have to make sure the cars and trucks do not crash or get stuck. + +"Look, Anna, there is a red light here. You have to stop your car," Tom says, pointing to a block with a sticker. + +"OK, Tom, I will stop. But you have to wait for the green light to go," Anna says, stopping her car. + +They take turns to change the lights and tell the cars and trucks when to go and when to stop. They also use some signs and cones to make lanes and directions. They are very careful and smart. They are good traffic managers. + +They play for a long time and have a lot of fun. They do not have any accidents or problems. They are very successful. They are proud of themselves. + +"Wow, Tom, we did a great job. We managed the traffic very well," Anna says, smiling. + +"Yes, Anna, we did. We are the best traffic managers ever," Tom says, high-fiving her. + +They hug each other and put away their toys. They are happy and tired. They are ready for a snack and a nap. They are good friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. Lily found a scarf in her pocket and wrapped it around the snowman's neck. + +"Look, Tom, our snowman is warm now!" she said. + +Tom nodded. He liked the scarf. It was red and soft and useful. He wanted to have it for himself. He reached out and pulled the scarf from the snowman. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily shouted. She was angry. She ran after Tom and tried to get the scarf back. + +Tom ran away. He laughed. He thought it was a fun game. He did not see the ice on the ground. He slipped and fell. The scarf flew out of his hand. + +Lily caught the scarf. She was happy. She put it back on the snowman. She looked at Tom. He was lying on the snow. He was not laughing. He was crying. He had a bump on his head. + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She walked over to him and helped him up. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Tom rubbed his head. He nodded. He was okay. He was sorry too. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. The scarf is yours. You can have it," he said. + +Lily smiled. She was glad. She hugged Tom. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are nice. But you know what? The scarf is not mine. It is ours. We can share it," she said. + +Tom smiled too. He agreed. They were friends. They put the scarf around their necks and hugged the snowman. They were warm and happy. The end. +Tom and Lily are pupils in the same class. They like to play and learn together. One day, their teacher gives them a task. She says, "You have to sort these things by color. Put the red things in one box, the blue things in another box, and the yellow things in a third box. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Lily nod and start to sort. They find many things of different colors: balls, books, crayons, and more. They work hard and have fun. They say, "This is red, this is blue, this is yellow." They put the things in the right boxes. + +But then, they see a poor boy in the corner. He has no things to sort. He looks sad and lonely. Tom and Lily feel sorry for him. They decide to share their things with him. They say, "Hi, what is your name? Do you want to sort with us? We have many things. You can have some of them." + +The poor boy smiles and says, "My name is Sam. Thank you for being kind. I would love to sort with you. You are good friends." He joins Tom and Lily and they sort together. They help each other and learn the colors. They have more fun and make more noise. + +The teacher sees them and smiles. She says, "Well done, Tom, Lily, and Sam. You have sorted the things very well. And you have also shown kindness and friendship. You are good pupils. I am proud of you." She gives them a sticker and a hug. Tom, Lily, and Sam are happy. They say, "Thank you, teacher. We like to sort. We like to share. We like to be friends." +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. Anna had a crown and a wand. Ben had a sword and a shield. + +"Look, I am the queen of the flowers!" Anna said. She waved her wand and made a magic sound. "You are my brave knight. You have to protect me from the scary dragon!" + +"Where is the dragon?" Ben asked. He looked around and saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a dragon with wings and teeth. He felt afraid. "Is that the dragon?" + +Anna turned and saw the shadow too. She gasped. "Oh no, it is the dragon! It is very scary! What do we do?" + +Just then, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She was holding a rake. She had made the shadow with the rake and the sun. She smiled and said, "Hello, my little ones. Are you having fun?" + +Anna and Ben ran to their mom and hugged her. They were happy to see her. They told her about their game. They also told her about the scary dragon. + +Mom laughed and said, "That was not a real dragon. It was just a shadow. I made it with the rake. I wanted to surprise you. Did I scare you?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, you scared us. But it was also funny. You are a good mom. And a good dragon." + +Mom kissed them and said, "Thank you. You are good children. And good queen and knight. Do you want to play some more?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please. But can you play with us too?" + +Mom said, "Of course. I love to play with you. But first, let me mention something. It is almost time for lunch. How about we have some sandwiches and juice?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please. We are hungry. And thirsty. And we love sandwiches and juice." + +Mom said, "Great. Let's go inside then. And maybe later, we can play some more. And maybe, we can find a friendly dragon." + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, that sounds fun. We love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, my little ones." +Anna likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She dances with her doll, her dog, and her mom. She wants to improve her dance. She wants to be fast and light like a bird. + +One day, she sees a big poster. It says, "Dance Show". There are pictures of dancers in pretty dresses and shoes. They look happy and graceful. Anna wants to be in the show. She asks her mom, "Can I go to the show? Can I dance like them?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, you can go to the show. But you need to practice a lot. You need to learn the steps and the music. You need to work hard and have fun." + +Anna is excited. She goes to the dance class with her mom. She meets a teacher and other kids. They are nice and friendly. They teach her how to dance. They show her how to move her arms, her legs, and her feet. They tell her how to improve her dance. They say, "Listen to the beat. Follow the leader. Smile and enjoy." + +Anna practices every day. She dances at home, at school, and at the class. She learns the steps and the music. She works hard and has fun. She feels fast and light like a bird. She improves her dance. She is ready for the show. + +The day of the show comes. Anna wears a pretty dress and shoes. She goes to the stage with her mom. She sees a lot of people. They are watching and clapping. She feels nervous and happy. She hears the music. She follows the leader. She moves her arms, her legs, and her feet. She smiles and enjoys. She dances like a star. She is in the show. She is proud of herself. She did it. She improved her dance. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It looks deep and dark. + +"Let's go inside and see what is there," Tim says. + +"No, it is scary. We might get lost or hurt," Sue says. + +"Don't be a baby. It will be fun. I will go first and you follow me," Tim says. He lies to Sue. He does not think it will be fun. He wants to scare her. + +Tim jumps into the hole. Sue is afraid, but she does not want to be alone. She jumps after him. They land on something soft and green. It smells nice. + +"What is this?" Sue asks. + +"It is herb. People use it to make food or medicine," Tim says. He knows a little bit about herb. His mom grows some in the garden. + +"Can we eat it?" Sue asks. + +"No, we don't know if it is good or bad. Some herb can make you sick or sleepy," Tim says. + +They hear a loud noise. It sounds like a growl. They look up and see a big animal. It has sharp teeth and claws. It is a bear. The bear lives in the hole. The herb is its food. + +The bear sees Tim and Sue. It is angry and hungry. It roars and runs towards them. + +"Help! Help!" Tim and Sue scream. They try to run away, but the hole is too deep and narrow. They cannot climb out. + +The bear catches them and eats them. They are gone. The bear goes back to its herb and sleeps. It is happy. The end. +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Anna said. + +"Yes, he is. But do you know what would make him even nicer?" Ben asked. + +"What?" Anna said. + +"A reindeer friend!" Ben said. "Let's go and find one in the woods!" + +Anna and Ben ran to the woods. They looked for a reindeer. They saw a squirrel, a rabbit, a bird, but no reindeer. They were getting tired and cold. + +"Where are the reindeer?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are hiding." Ben said. + +They walked some more. Then they heard a sound. It was a sigh. A big, deep sigh. They followed the sound. They found a reindeer. He was lying on the ground. He looked sad. + +"Hello, reindeer!" Anna said. + +"Hello, children." The reindeer said. + +"Why are you sad?" Ben asked. + +"Because I have no friends." The reindeer said. "All the other reindeer are gone. They flew away with Santa. They left me behind. They said I was too slow and clumsy. They said I was not interesting." + +"That's not nice!" Anna said. "You are very interesting. You have a beautiful fur and antlers. You can run and jump. You can talk to us. You are a wonderful reindeer!" + +"Really?" The reindeer said. + +"Really!" Ben said. "And we have a friend for you. Come with us. We will show you." + +Anna and Ben took the reindeer by the hooves. They led him to their snowman. The snowman smiled at the reindeer. The reindeer smiled back. + +"Hello, snowman!" The reindeer said. + +"Hello, reindeer!" The snowman said. + +"Reindeer, this is our snowman. Snowman, this is our reindeer. You can be friends." Anna said. + +"Thank you, children. You are very kind. You made me happy." The reindeer said. + +"You're welcome, reindeer. You made us happy too." Ben said. + +Anna and Ben hugged the reindeer and the snowman. They played together in the snow. They had a lot of fun. They were the best of friends. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and build towers and houses. One day, they decided to build a big boat with their blocks. They wanted to sail on the lake and be famous. + +They worked hard and made a boat with many blocks. They put a flag on the boat and a sail. They were very proud of their boat. They carried it to the lake and put it on the water. + +"Look at our boat!" Tim said. "It is the best boat ever!" + +"Yes, it is!" Sam said. "Let's go on it and sail away!" + +They climbed on the boat and pushed it with their hands. The boat moved on the water. They were very happy. They waved to the other kids and shouted, "We are famous!" + +But they did not see a big hole in the bottom of the boat. The water started to go in the hole. The boat started to leak. The blocks got wet and fell apart. The boat sank in the lake. + +Tim and Sam got wet and scared. They swam to the shore and cried. The other kids laughed at them and said, "You are not famous! You are silly!" + +Tim and Sam learned a lesson. They learned that they should not be proud and show off. They learned that they should check their boat for leaks before they sail. They learned that they should not play with blocks on the water. They learned that they should be careful and humble. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a small table and some cups and plates. They wanted to have a tea party with their toys. + +"Let's cook some tea for our friends," Lily said. She picked up a pot and filled it with water from the hose. She put it on the table and pretended to light a fire. + +"Good idea," Tom said. He found some leaves and flowers and put them in the pot. He stirred them with a spoon. "This will be yummy tea." + +They poured the tea into the cups and gave them to their toys. They also gave them some cookies and crackers. They sat down and enjoyed their tea party. + +"Hello, can I join you?" a voice said. Tom and Lily looked up and saw a boy standing near the fence. He had brown hair and green eyes. He was holding a teddy bear. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked. He did not know the boy. + +"I'm Ben. I just moved in next door. This is my teddy, Bob. Can we play with you?" Ben asked. He smiled. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not know Ben, but he seemed nice. They had some extra cups and plates. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Lily said. "We are having a tea party. Do you like tea?" + +"Yes, I do. Thank you," Ben said. He came over and sat down. He gave his teddy a cup of tea. + +Tom and Lily shared their cookies and crackers with Ben and Bob. They talked and laughed and had fun. They made a new friend. They liked Ben. He liked them too. They decided to play together again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the gym. The gym has many things to do. There are balls, ropes, mats, and swings. + +One day, they see a new thing at the gym. It is a big wall with colorful rocks. Lily and Ben want to try it. They put on helmets and shoes. A teacher helps them. + +"Look, Lily, I can climb up this rock!" Ben says. He grabs a blue rock and pulls himself up. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so tough!" Lily says. She looks for a rock to climb, too. She finds a pink one and holds on. + +"Look, Ben, I can climb up this rock!" Lily says. She smiles at Ben. + +"Wow, Lily, you are so tough, too!" Ben says. He smiles back at Lily. + +They climb up and down the wall. They have fun. They are proud of themselves. They are tough. +Lily and her mom went to a restaurant for lunch. Lily liked the restaurant because it had many pictures on the walls and a big fish tank. She wanted to see the fish up close, so she asked her mom if she could go. + +"OK, but stay near me and don't touch anything," her mom said. + +Lily nodded and walked to the fish tank. She saw many fish of different colors and shapes. She wanted to touch them, but she remembered what her mom said. She looked around and saw a small door next to the fish tank. She wondered what was behind it. She opened the door and saw a dark room with many boxes and bags. She was curious and went inside. + +She heard a loud noise and the door slammed shut. She tried to open it, but it was locked. She was scared and started to cry. She called for her mom, but no one heard her. She felt cold and alone. + +Meanwhile, her mom finished her lunch and looked for Lily. She did not see her near the fish tank or anywhere else. She asked the waiter if he had seen her, but he said no. She started to panic and looked everywhere. She thought Lily had disappeared. + +She saw the small door next to the fish tank and tried to open it, but it was locked. She knocked on it and heard a faint voice. + +"Mom, is that you? I'm here, I'm here!" + +She recognized Lily's voice and felt relieved. She asked the waiter to get the key and opened the door. She hugged Lily and kissed her. + +"Lily, I was so worried about you! What were you doing in there?" + +"I wanted to see what was behind the door, but it locked me in. I was scared and cold, mom. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." + +Lily apologized and cried. Her mom comforted her and said, + +"It's OK, Lily, I'm glad you're safe. But you have to listen to me and not wander off. There are many dangers in the world and I don't want you to get hurt or lost. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, + +"Yes, mom, I understand. I won't do it again. I love you, mom." + +"I love you too, Lily. Now let's go home and have some hot chocolate." + +They left the restaurant and went home. Lily learned her lesson and never went into strange places without her mom again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big pot and a wooden spoon. They put some water, salt, sugar, and flour in the pot. Then they took turns to stir the mixture. + +"Stir, stir, stir," Tom said. "We are making soup for the hunter." + +"The hunter?" Lily asked. "Who is the hunter?" + +Tom pointed to the window. Outside, there was a man with a hat, a coat, and a big bag. He had a modern thing that looked like a stick but made loud noises. He was looking for animals in the woods. + +"He is the hunter," Tom said. "He hunts for food. He is very hungry. We have to give him some soup." + +Lily nodded. She thought the hunter was scary. She did not like the loud noises he made. She hoped he would not hurt the animals. + +They stirred the soup some more. Then they poured it into a bowl. They put the bowl on a tray. They added some bread and cheese. They carried the tray to the door. + +"Hello, hunter," Tom said. "We made some soup for you. Do you want some?" + +The hunter looked at them. He smiled. He put down his modern stick. He took the tray. + +"Thank you, chefs," he said. "You are very kind. Your soup looks delicious. Can I share it with you?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were happy. They liked to share. They went inside with the hunter. They sat at the table. They ate the soup. They talked and laughed. They became friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garage with their toys. They have cars, dolls, balls and books. They make noises and have fun. + +One day, they hear a loud sound outside. They run to the window and see a big truck. The truck has a crane and a hook. The truck stops in front of their house. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. + +They see a man get out of the truck. He wears a hat and a vest. He walks to the door and rings the bell. Mom opens the door and talks to the man. + +"Hello, I'm here to pick up your old sofa. Can you show me where it is?" the man says. + +"Sure, it's in the garage. Come with me," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben follow Mom and the man to the garage. They see the old sofa in the corner. It is brown and torn. They don't like the old sofa. They like the new sofa in the living room. It is blue and soft. + +The man looks at the old sofa and nods. He goes back to the truck and pushes a button. The crane and the hook move. The hook comes down and grabs the old sofa. The crane lifts the old sofa up and puts it on the truck. + +"Wow!" Lily and Ben say. + +"That's easy!" the man says. "Thank you for your sofa. Have a nice day!" + +He gets in the truck and drives away. Lily and Ben wave goodbye. They go back to their toys and play. They are happy. They have more space in the garage. They have a new sofa in the living room. They have a good day. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big rail near the slide. The rail is brown and rusty. It has green and yellow spots on it. + +"Look, a rail!" Tom says. "Let's go and touch it!" + +"No, Tom, don't!" Mia says. "The rail is disgusting. It is dirty and sick. It can hurt you." + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the rail and puts his hand on it. He feels something sticky and wet. He looks at his hand and sees a worm. The worm is slimy and wiggly. + +"Yuck!" Tom screams. "A worm! A worm on the rail!" + +He drops the worm and runs back to Mia. He is scared and sad. He wants to wash his hand. + +"I told you, Tom, the rail is disgusting," Mia says. "But I am your friend. I will help you. Come, I have some water and soap in my bag. I will offer you some." + +She takes out a bottle of water and a bar of soap. She pours some water on Tom's hand and rubs it with the soap. She makes bubbles and foam. She cleans Tom's hand until it is shiny and dry. + +"Thank you, Mia," Tom says. "You are a good friend. You are kind and nice. I am sorry I did not listen to you. I will not touch the rail again." + +They hug and smile. They go back to the slide and play. They have fun and forget about the rail and the worm. They are happy. +Lily liked to print pictures with her crayons. She had many papers and colors to choose from. She printed flowers, animals, stars and hearts. She was very happy with her prints. + +One day, her cousin Max came to visit. Max was spoiled. He always wanted what Lily had. He saw her prints and said, "I want those! Give them to me!" + +Lily said, "No, Max. These are mine. I printed them. You can print your own." + +But Max did not listen. He grabbed Lily's prints and tore them apart. He threw them on the floor and laughed. Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. + +Lily's mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and was angry. She said, "Max, that was very bad. You hurt Lily's feelings and ruined her prints. You need to say sorry and help her clean up." + +Max did not want to say sorry or help. He said, "I don't care. I don't like prints. I like music. Where is your music?" + +Lily's mom said, "You can't play with our music. You need to learn how to share and be nice. If you can't, you have to go home." + +Max did not like that. He pouted and stomped his feet. He said, "Fine. I'll go home. But I'll take your music with me." + +He ran to the living room and tried to take Lily's music box. But Lily's mom stopped him. She said, "No, Max. That is Lily's music box. You can't take it. It is very special to her. She got it from her grandma." + +Max did not care. He said, "I want it. I want it. I want it." + +He pulled and pulled on the music box. But Lily's mom held on. She said, "Max, stop. You are being very rude. You need to let go." + +But Max did not let go. He pulled harder and harder. He pulled so hard that the music box broke. The lid came off and the music stopped. The pieces fell on the floor. + +Lily saw what happened and gasped. She ran to her music box and picked up the pieces. She said, "No, no, no. My music box. My music box. You broke it. You broke it." + +She hugged the pieces and cried. She loved her music box. It played a beautiful song that made her happy. It had a picture of her grandma inside. It was her favorite thing. + +Lily's mom hugged her and said, "I'm so sorry, Lily. I know how much you loved your music box. We'll try to fix it. Don't worry." + +She looked at Max and said, "Max, you need to go home now. You have been very naughty. You need to think about what you did and how you made Lily feel. You need to say sorry to her and to me." + +Max did not say sorry. He did not feel sorry. He was spoiled. He said, "I don't care. I don't like you. I don't like Lily. I don't like prints. I don't like music. I don't like anything." + +He ran out of the door and slammed it behind him. He left Lily and her mom alone with the broken music box and the torn prints. He did not come back. +Lily and Tom were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut shapes and make pictures. Lily cut a big circle and colored it yellow. She said, "This is the sun. It is bright and warm." Tom cut a small triangle and colored it green. He said, "This is a tree. It is tall and has leaves." + +They put their shapes on the wall and looked at them. They were proud of their work. They wanted to make more pictures. Lily said, "What else can we cut?" Tom said, "Let's cut a bird. A bird can fly in the sky." Lily said, "OK. What color is the bird?" Tom said, "I don't know. Maybe blue or red or purple. A bird can be any color. It is colorful." + +They cut a bird and colored it with many colors. They gave it a beak and eyes and wings and a tail. They put it next to the sun and the tree. They said, "Wow, look at our bird. It is so pretty and colorful. It can fly to the west and see the sunset." They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy with their paper and scissors. They liked to cut and make pictures. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the farm. They saw many animals and plants. They saw cows, pigs, chickens, and corn. Corn was yellow and tall. Lily and Tom wanted to eat corn. + +They ran to the corn field. They picked some corn. They peeled the corn. They bit the corn. The corn was sweet and juicy. They smiled and ate more corn. + +But the farmer saw them. He was angry. He shouted at them. "You are naughty! You cannot take my corn! Go away!" He chased them with a stick. Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the corn. They ran away. + +They ran to Lily's house. They knocked on the door. Lily's mom opened the door. She saw them. She saw their faces. They were dirty and sad. She asked them, "What happened?" + +Lily and Tom told her. They said they were sorry. They said they were hungry. They said they liked corn. Lily's mom hugged them. She said, "It's okay. I understand. But you should not steal corn. You should ask first. Come in. I have some corn for you. You are welcome." She gave them some corn. They said, "Thank you." They ate the corn. They were happy. They learned a lesson. +Tom and Mia love to go outside and see nature. They like to look at the birds, the flowers, the trees and the bugs. Sometimes they find a stick or a stone to play with. They have a lot of fun in nature. + +One day, they hear their mom call them from the house. She says it is time to eat lunch. Tom and Mia are hungry, but they do not want to leave nature. They want to stay and play some more. They ask their mom if they can have more time. + +Their mom says they can have five more minutes, but then they have to hurry. She says lunch is getting cold and they need to eat. Tom and Mia say okay and thank their mom. They decide to use their five minutes to find something special in nature. + +They run around and look for something they have not seen before. They see a butterfly, a snail, a pine cone and a feather. They are happy to see these things, but they want to find something more special. They keep looking and looking. + +Then, they see something shiny and colorful in the grass. They go closer and see that it is a rainbow. A rainbow is made of water and light and has many colors. Tom and Mia think it is the most special thing in nature. They are very happy and excited. They want to touch the rainbow, but they know they cannot. They just look at it and smile. + +They hear their mom call them again. She says their five minutes are over and they have to hurry. Tom and Mia say goodbye to the rainbow and run to the house. They tell their mom what they saw and how happy they were. Their mom is happy for them and gives them a hug. She says they can see the rainbow again another day, but now they have to eat lunch. Tom and Mia agree and sit down to eat. They are still happy and think about the rainbow. They love nature. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big lawn with many flowers and trees. Sara liked to smell the flowers and watch the birds. Ben liked to run and jump and make noise. + +One day, Ben saw a big box on the lawn. It was open and had a red bow on it. He ran to the box and looked inside. He saw a shiny bike with a horn and a basket. He was very happy and shouted, "Look, Sara, a bike for me!" + +Sara came to the box and saw the bike. She felt sad and said, "But I want a bike too. Where is mine?" + +Ben laughed and said, "There is no bike for you. This is only for me. You are too slow and too quiet to ride a bike. You can only smell flowers and watch birds. Ha ha ha!" + +He teased Sara and made her cry. He took the bike and rode away. He honked the horn and said, "Bye bye, Sara, I am going to have fun!" + +Sara sat on the lawn and wiped her tears. She saw a card on the box. She picked it up and read it. It said, "Happy birthday, Sara and Ben! We love you both. Here are two bikes for you to share and enjoy. Love, Mom and Dad." + +Sara smiled and said, "Oh, there is a bike for me too. Ben did not see the card. He was too fast and too loud to read it. He will be sorry when he comes back." + +She waited for Ben to return. She thought, "Maybe he will learn to be nice and not tease me. Maybe we can play together and have fun." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys of different shapes and colors. Mom said they had to sort their toys before dinner. Sort means to put things that are the same together. + +"Let's sort our toys by color," Lily said. "I have a red car and a red ball. Do you have anything red?" + +"I have a red shark," Ben said. He showed Lily his toy shark. It had sharp teeth and a big fin. "It can swim and bite. It is my favorite toy." + +"Wow, your shark is cool," Lily said. "But it is not the same as my car and ball. They are round and smooth. Your shark is long and rough. Maybe we can sort by shape instead." + +"Okay," Ben said. He looked around for other toys that were long and rough. He found a stick, a rope, and a dinosaur. He put them next to his shark. "These are long and rough. They are the same." + +Lily nodded. She found other toys that were round and smooth. She found a marble, a cookie, and a ring. She put them next to her car and ball. "These are round and smooth. They are the same." + +They sorted all their toys by shape. They had two piles: one for long and rough toys, and one for round and smooth toys. They were proud of their work. They showed Mom their sorted toys. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben," Mom said. "You sorted your toys very well. You are very smart. Are you ready for dinner?" + +"Yes, we are ready," Lily and Ben said. They put their toys away and followed Mom to the kitchen. They were hungry and happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pipe near the slide. The pipe is long and round and has a hole at one end. + +"Look, a pipe!" Lily says. "Let's get it and play with it." + +"OK," Ben says. "But be careful. It might be dirty or heavy." + +They go to the pipe and try to lift it. It is heavy, but they can move it a little bit. They drag it to the grass and put it down. + +"What can we do with the pipe?" Ben asks. + +"We can pretend it is a telescope," Lily says. "We can look at the sky and the birds and the clouds." + +She puts one eye to the hole and looks around. She sees a big cloud that looks like a bunny. She laughs. + +"Your turn," she says to Ben. She gives him the pipe. + +Ben puts one eye to the hole and looks around. He sees a plane that makes a loud noise. He smiles. + +"This is fun," he says. "Thank you for sharing the pipe with me." + +"You're welcome," Lily says. "You are a good friend." + +They are happy. They are modest. They do not need many things to have fun. They have each other and the pipe. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play dress-up. They have many clothes and hats and shoes. They can wear anything they want. + +One day, Lily finds a big red coat. It has many buttons and pockets. It is very warm and soft. Lily likes the coat. She puts it on and says, "Look, Ben, I am a fireman!" + +Ben looks at Lily. He sees something unusual on the coat. It is a mark. It is a yellow star. Ben says, "Lily, what is that mark? It is not a fireman mark. It is a star." + +Lily looks at the mark. She does not know what it means. She says, "I do not know, Ben. Maybe it is a special fireman mark. Maybe it means I am a brave fireman." + +Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, Lily, it is not a fireman mark. It is a star of David. It is a mark for Jewish people. My grandma has one. She told me about it. She said it is a mark of her faith and her family. She said some people were mean to her because of the mark. She said we should be kind to everyone, no matter what mark they wear." + +Lily listens to Ben. She feels sad for his grandma. She says, "I am sorry, Ben. I did not know that. I do not want to be mean to anyone. I want to be kind to everyone, too. Can I wear the coat anyway? I think it is a beautiful mark. I think your grandma is brave, too." + +Ben smiles at Lily. He says, "Yes, Lily, you can wear the coat. I think you are a kind fireman. I think the coat is beautiful, too. Can I wear a hat with you?" + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, Ben, you can wear a hat. Let's find a hat for you. Let's play dress-up together." +Tim and Lily were playing at the beach. They liked to make castles with sand and shells. They worked hard to build a big castle with a tower and a flag. + +"Look at our castle, Lily! It is so pretty!" Tim said. + +"Yes, Tim, it is! We are good builders!" Lily said. + +But then a boy came. He was spoiled and mean. He kicked their castle and broke it. He laughed and ran away. + +"Hey! That is not nice! That is our castle!" Tim shouted. + +Lily started to cry. She was sad and angry. She wished the boy would disappear. + +Then a big wave came. It washed over the boy and the sand. The boy and the sand disappeared in the water. + +Tim and Lily stopped crying. They smiled and clapped. + +"Wow! The wave made him disappear!" Tim said. + +"Yes, Tim, it did! He got what he deserved!" Lily said. + +They hugged and decided to make a new castle. They hoped the wave would not come back. They were happy again. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play and share. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big yellow muffin on a bench. It looks yummy. + +"Can we have the muffin?" Sara asks her mom. + +"No, sweetie, that's not ours. Someone else left it there. Maybe they will come back for it," her mom says. + +"But I'm hungry," Ben says. He runs to the bench and grabs the muffin. He takes a big bite. + +"Ben, no!" Sara and their moms shout. + +But it is too late. The muffin is not a muffin. It is a sponge. It is full of soap and dirt. Ben spits it out. He feels sick. He starts to cry. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" Sara asks. She is sad and angry. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I thought it was a muffin. It looked like a muffin," Ben says. He is sorry and sad. He wants to play with Sara again. + +But Sara does not listen. She turns away. She walks to the swings with her mom. She does not look at Ben. + +Ben is alone. He has no muffin and no friend. He has a bad day. +Lily and Sam were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, he is smiling at us!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. He likes us," Sam said. + +But then they heard their mom calling them from the house. + +"Kids, come inside! It's time for lunch!" + +Lily and Sam ran to the house. They were very hungry and cold. They shivered as they took off their coats and boots. + +"Wow, you made a great snowman!" Mom said. "But you must be freezing. Come, I have some soup and sandwiches for you." + +Lily and Sam followed Mom to the kitchen. They smelled the yummy soup and saw the cheese and ham sandwiches. They sat down at the table and ate their lunch. They felt warm and cozy. + +"Thank you, Mom. This is the best lunch ever!" Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom. You are very smart and kind," Sam said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"You are welcome, my sweeties. I love you very much. And I'm proud of you for making such a nice snowman. He is very smart and kind, too." +Sam and Mia were hungry. They wanted pizza for dinner. But Mom said no. She said they had to eat their soup and salad first. + +"But we don't like soup and salad!" Sam said. He made a face. "We like pizza!" + +Mia nodded. She pushed her bowl away. "Pizza is yummy!" + +Mom sighed. She was tired. She had a long day at work. She did not want to argue with her kids. "Pizza is yummy, but it is not healthy if you eat it every day. Soup and salad have vitamins and minerals that help you grow and stay strong. You can have pizza on Friday, but today you have to eat what I made." + +Sam and Mia did not listen. They were persistent. They kept asking for pizza. They said they were not hungry for soup and salad. They said they would not eat anything else. + +Mom was firm. She said they had to eat at least half of their soup and salad, or they would not get any dessert. She said they had to be polite and grateful for their food. She said they had to stop whining and complaining. + +Sam and Mia struggled. They did not want to eat their soup and salad. They did not want to miss dessert. They did not want to make Mom angry. But they really wanted pizza. + +What would they do? Would they eat their soup and salad, or would they keep asking for pizza? +Lila was very sad. She did not like her new blouse. It was pink and had flowers on it. She wanted to wear her blue blouse with stars on it. But her mom said no. Her mom said she had to wear the pink blouse for the party. + +"Why do I have to wear this?" Lila asked her mom. + +"Because it is pretty and it matches your shoes," her mom said. "And because Grandma gave it to you for your birthday. She will be happy to see you in it." + +Lila did not care. She did not feel pretty. She felt silly. She did not like Grandma either. Grandma was old and bald. She always kissed Lila and pinched her cheeks. Lila did not like that. + +At the party, Lila saw Grandma. Grandma smiled and came to hug her. Lila tried to run away, but her mom held her hand. + +"Look at you, my sweetie pie!" Grandma said. "You look so lovely in your pink blouse! Let me give you a big kiss!" + +Lila screamed and pushed Grandma away. She did not want a kiss. She did not want a hug. She did not want the pink blouse. She wanted to go home. + +But Grandma did not let go. She pulled Lila closer and kissed her hard on the mouth. Lila felt Grandma's wet lips and bald head. She felt sick. She felt angry. She bit Grandma's nose. + +Grandma yelled and let go of Lila. She touched her nose and saw blood. She was hurt and mad. She slapped Lila on the face. + +Lila cried and ran to her mom. Her mom was shocked and angry too. She scolded Lila and said she was a bad girl. She said she was sorry to Grandma and took Lila to the car. + +Lila did not say sorry. She did not feel sorry. She felt pain and hate. She hated Grandma. She hated her mom. She hated the pink blouse. She wished she never came to the party. She wished she never had a birthday. She wished she was never born. +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They run and jump and swing and slide. They have fun with their friends and their toys. But sometimes they want to play a different game. They want to play hide and seek. + +Tom and Mia look for a good place to hide. They see a big hill with grass and flowers. They run to the hill and lie down on the ground. They cover themselves with grass and leaves. They are hidden from their friends. They wait and listen. + +They hear the wind blow. It makes a soft sound in their ears. They feel the wind on their faces. It makes them cool and tickles their noses. They giggle and whisper. They like the wind. + +They hear their friends call. They look for Tom and Mia. They check behind the trees and under the benches. They check on the swings and on the slide. They cannot find Tom and Mia. They wonder where they are. + +Tom and Mia hear their friends call. They stay quiet and still. They do not want to be found. They want to win the game. They smile and wink. They like to hide. +Tommy liked jazz music. He had a big toy saxophone that he played every day. He made loud noises with it and danced around the house. He did not care if his mom and dad were busy or tired. He wanted to have fun with his saxophone. + +One day, his mom and dad had a surprise for him. They gave him a baby sister. Tommy did not like his baby sister. She was small and ugly and cried a lot. She took away his mom and dad's attention. They did not play with him or listen to his jazz music. They told him to be quiet and gentle with his sister. + +Tommy was angry and jealous. He did not want to share his mom and dad or his toys with his sister. He wished she would go away. He prayed to God to make his sister disappear. He thought God would listen to him because he was a good boy who liked jazz music. + +One night, when his mom and dad were asleep, Tommy sneaked into his sister's room. He saw her sleeping in her crib. He took his saxophone and hit her hard on the head. He thought she would stop crying and leave him alone. He did not know he hurt her very badly. + +The next morning, his mom and dad found his sister in her crib. She was not breathing. She was dead. They screamed and cried and called the police. They saw Tommy's saxophone next to her. They knew what he did. They were very sad and angry. They did not love him anymore. They sent him away to a bad place where he could not play jazz music or have any toys. He was alone and scared. He prayed to God to forgive him and bring his sister back. But God did not listen to him. He was a spoiled and bad boy who killed his sister. He had no happy ending. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big nest in the tree. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's climb the tree and look at the nest," Ben said. + +"No, we should not do that. Mama said we should not touch the birds' homes. They might get angry or sad," Sara said. + +But Ben did not listen. He climbed the tree and reached the nest. He saw four eggs inside. They were dull and brown. He wanted to take one and show Sara. + +"Look, Sara, I found an egg. It is dull and brown. I want to keep it," he said. + +He took the egg and put it in his pocket. He climbed down the tree. Sara was scared. She heard a loud noise. It was the bird. It was angry. It saw Ben take its egg. It flew after him and pecked his head. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Help, Sara, help!" Ben cried. + +Sara ran to him and tried to shoo the bird away. She saw the egg in his pocket. She took it out and threw it back to the nest. + +"Ben, you should not have taken the egg. It belongs to the bird. It is its baby. You made it angry and sad. You should say sorry," she said. + +Ben was sorry. He said sorry to the bird. He said sorry to Sara. He had a bump on his head. He learned his lesson. He should not take things that are not his. He should remain nice and kind. +Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and read books together. One day, they decided to have a picnic in the park. They packed some sandwiches, fruits and juice in a basket. They also brought a big blanket to sit on. + +They found a nice spot under a tree and spread the blanket on the grass. They ate their food and drank their juice. They were very happy and comfortable. They talked and laughed and told each other stories. + +"Let's play hide and seek!" Lily said. + +"Okay!" Sam agreed. "You count to ten and I will hide." + +Lily closed her eyes and started to count. "One, two, three..." + +Sam ran and looked for a good hiding place. He saw a big bush and crawled behind it. He was very quiet and still. He waited for Lily to find him. + +"Ten!" Lily shouted. "Ready or not, here I come!" + +Lily opened her eyes and looked around. She saw the basket, the blanket and the tree. But she did not see Sam. She walked and searched for him. She looked behind the tree, under the blanket and in the basket. But she did not find him. + +"Where are you, Sam?" Lily called. "I can't see you!" + +Sam heard Lily's voice. He wanted to jump out and surprise her. But he was too comfortable behind the bush. He felt sleepy and yawned. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. + +Lily kept looking for Sam. She went to the swings, the slide and the sandbox. But she did not find him. She started to feel sad and worried. She wondered if Sam had gone home or got lost. + +"Sam, where are you?" Lily cried. "Please come out!" + +Sam did not hear Lily's cry. He was dreaming of flying in the sky with his toys. He forgot that he was playing hide and seek. He forgot that Lily was looking for him. He forgot everything. + +Lily sat on the grass and cried. She felt lonely and scared. She wished Sam would come back. She did not want to play anymore. She wanted to go home. + +Then she heard a voice. "Lily, Lily, where are you?" + +It was her mom. She had come to pick her up from the park. She had seen the basket, the blanket and the tree. But she did not see Lily. + +Lily wiped her tears and ran to her mom. She hugged her and told her what happened. She told her that Sam was hiding and she could not find him. She told her that she was sad and scared. + +Her mom hugged her back and comforted her. She told her that it was okay and that Sam was probably still hiding. She told her that they would find him and take him home. She told her that she loved her. + +Lily felt better and smiled. She loved her mom too. She was glad that she came. + +They walked to the bush where Sam was hiding. They saw him sleeping behind it. They woke him up and told him that it was time to go home. + +Sam rubbed his eyes and looked around. He saw Lily and her mom. He remembered that he was playing hide and seek. He remembered that he had fallen asleep. He felt sorry and embarrassed. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Sam said. "I forgot that we were playing. I forgot that you were looking for me. I forgot everything." + +Lily smiled and forgave him. She told him that it was okay and that she was happy to see him. She told him that they were still best friends. + +Sam smiled and thanked her. He told her that he was sorry and that he was happy to see her too. He told her that they were still best friends. + +They packed their things and walked to the car. They said goodbye and hugged each other. They promised to play again soon. + +They were happy and comfortable. They did not forget each other. They did not forget yet. +Lila and Tom were twins who loved to play in the snow. They made snowmen, snowballs and snow forts. One day, they saw a big deer with horns in the woods. It was a reindeer. They wanted to get closer and touch it. + +"Let's go, Lila!" Tom said. "Maybe it will let us ride on its back!" + +"No, Tom," Lila said. "We should not bother the reindeer. It looks old and tired. Maybe it is sick or hurt. We should leave it alone." + +But Tom did not listen. He ran towards the reindeer, making loud noises. The reindeer got scared and ran away. Tom followed it, but he did not see where he was going. He tripped on a root and fell into a hole. He hurt his leg and cried for help. + +Lila heard Tom's cry and ran to him. She saw him in the hole and felt sorry for him. She tried to pull him out, but he was too heavy. She looked around and saw the reindeer. It had come back and was watching them. Lila had an idea. + +"Please, reindeer," she said. "Can you help us? My brother is stuck in the hole and he is hurt. I know you are old and tired, but you are strong and kind. Please, can you help us?" + +The reindeer looked at Lila and Tom. It saw that Lila was gentle and respectful, and that Tom was sorry and scared. It nodded its head and walked to the hole. It lowered its horns and let Lila tie a rope around them. Then it pulled Tom out of the hole with its horns. Tom was free and safe. He hugged Lila and thanked the reindeer. + +"Thank you, reindeer," he said. "You are amazing and brave. I am sorry I scared you and chased you. I was wrong and rude. I will never do that again. I will always be nice to you and other animals." + +The reindeer smiled and licked Tom's face. It was happy and proud. It was an ancient reindeer, and it had seen many things. It knew that sometimes, children make mistakes, but they can learn and change. It also knew that sometimes, the best way to teach is to help. It taught Lila and Tom a lesson: to yield to others, to respect nature, and to be grateful for kindness. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big pool with water and toys. They splashed and laughed and had fun. They were friendly to each other. + +One day, a big dog came to the garden. He was not friendly. He barked and growled and ran to the pool. He jumped in the water and made it dirty. He bit the toys and made them break. He chased Ben and Lily and made them scared. + +"Go away, bad dog!" Ben shouted. "This is our pool, not yours!" + +But the dog did not listen. He kept barking and growling and jumping. He made the water fly out of the pool. He made the pool dry. He made Ben and Lily wet. + +Ben and Lily ran to the house. They knocked on the door and called for mom. But mom was not home. She was at the shop. Ben and Lily were alone. They were wet and cold and sad. They had no pool, no toys, no fun. They had a bad day. +Ben is a bald boy. He has no hair on his head. He likes to wear hats and caps. He has many hats and caps of different colors and shapes. + +One day, Ben goes to the park with his mom. He sees a girl playing with a ball. She has long black hair and brown eyes. She speaks a language that Ben does not know. She says something to Ben and smiles. + +Ben does not understand what she says, but he smiles back. He likes her smile. He wants to play with her. He picks up his red cap and puts it on his head. He walks to the girl and points to his cap. He says, "Red." + +The girl nods and points to her ball. She says, "Blue." + +Ben nods and points to his eyes. He says, "Blue." + +The girl nods and points to her hair. She says, "Black." + +Ben nods and points to his head. He says, "Bald." + +The girl giggles and touches his head. She says, "Soft." + +Ben laughs and touches her hair. He says, "Smooth." + +The girl and Ben smile at each other. They do not need many words to be friends. They play with the ball and the cap. They have fun in the park. Ben's mom watches them and smiles too. She is happy that Ben has a new friend. +Lily and Ben were very happy. Mom and Dad said they could go to the park for a picnic. They packed some sandwiches, fruits, and cookies in a big basket. They also brought a ball, a kite, and a book. + +When they got to the park, they saw a big hill. It had many flowers and trees. Lily and Ben wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. They asked Mom and Dad if they could go. + +"OK, but be careful," Mom said. "Don't go too far and come back soon." + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Ben said. They ran up the hill, holding hands. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a pond with ducks and frogs. They saw a bridge with a train. They saw a playground with swings and slides. They saw a lot of things they had never seen before. + +"Wow, this is impressive!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "Let's go and explore!" + +They had a lot of fun at the pond, the bridge, and the playground. They made some new friends and learned some new things. They also shared some of their cookies with the ducks and the frogs. + +After a while, they heard Mom and Dad calling them. They said goodbye to their new friends and ran back to the hill. They told Mom and Dad all about their adventure. + +Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They were proud of Lily and Ben for being brave and curious. They also said it was time to eat their picnic. + +They spread a blanket on the grass and opened the basket. They enjoyed their sandwiches, fruits, and cookies. They also drank some juice and water. They talked and laughed and thanked each other for the picnic. + +They had a wonderful day at the park. They were happy that Mom and Dad allowed them to go. They were happy that they saw so many impressive things. They were happy that they had each other. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. Lily wanted to share her doll with Tom, but Tom refused. + +"No, I don't want your doll. Dolls are for girls. I want your pin. Give me your pin!" Tom said. + +Lily was sad. She liked her pin. It was shiny and had a flower on it. She did not want to give it to Tom. + +"No, you can't have my pin. It is mine. You have your truck. Play with your truck!" Lily said. + +Tom was angry. He wanted the pin. He grabbed the pin from Lily's hand and ran away. Lily cried. She wanted her pin back. + +"Tom, that is not nice. Give Lily her pin back. You can't take things that are not yours." Mom said. + +Tom did not listen. He hid the pin under his pillow. He thought he was clever. But Mom found the pin and took it away. She gave it back to Lily and hugged her. + +"Tom, you are in trouble. You have to say sorry to Lily and share your toys. Or you will have no toys at all." Mom said. + +Tom was sad. He knew he was wrong. He said sorry to Lily and gave her his truck. Lily smiled and gave him her doll. They played together and were happy. Mom was proud of them. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to play with her dolls. One day, she went to the park with her mommy and saw a little boy who was crying. Lily felt sad for the boy and asked him what was wrong. + +The boy said he lost his favorite toy truck and he couldn't find it. Lily felt an urge to help him and asked her mommy if they could help look for the truck. They looked and looked but couldn't find it. + +Lily felt helpless and didn't know what to do. But then, she remembered that she had a toy truck at home that she didn't play with anymore. She told the boy she had a truck he could have and he was very happy. Lily didn't regret giving away her toy truck because she knew it made the boy happy. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She loved to run and play outside. One day, she saw an amazing church with a big, tall tower. She wanted to go inside and see what it was like. + +Lily ran to the church and opened the door. Inside, she saw beautiful stained glass windows and shiny gold decorations. It was amazing! She sat down on a pew and listened to the music. + +After a while, Lily had to go home. She ran all the way back, excited to tell her mom about the amazing church she saw. From that day on, Lily loved to run past the church and wave hello to the people inside. +Once upon a time, there was a gorilla named George.

They got out of the lift and walked to a door. The door had a sign that said "Mom's name and job". Mom opened the door and said, "This is my office, Lily. Come in and meet my friends." + +Lily followed Mom into the office. She saw many desks and chairs and computers and papers. She also saw many people. Some were sitting, some were standing, some were talking, some were typing. They all looked at Mom and Lily and smiled. + +Mom said, "Hello, everyone. This is my daughter, Lily. She is three years old and she is very smart and sweet. Lily, these are my friends. They work with me and help me do my job. Can you say hello to them?" + +Lily felt shy, but she wanted to be polite. She said, "Hello, Mom's friends. I am Lily. I like your office. It is very nice." + +The people said, "Hello, Lily. We are happy to meet you. You are very cute and brave. We like your dress. It is very pretty." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you. You are very kind. I like your clothes too. They are very colorful." + +Mom said, "Lily, you are doing great. I am very proud of you. Do you want to see more of the office and what we do?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to see more. Can I see your computer, Mom?" + +Mom said, "Of course, you can. Come with me. I will show you my computer and some pictures and videos of our work. You will like them. They are very interesting." + +Lily and Mom walked to Mom's desk. Mom turned on her computer and showed Lily some pictures and videos of her work. Lily saw many things. She saw animals and plants and people and places. She saw Mom talking and teaching and helping. She asked Mom many questions. Mom answered them and explained them. Lily learned many things. She felt happy and curious. + +The people watched Lily and Mom and smiled. They thought Lily was very smart and sweet. They thought Mom was very lucky and happy. They liked Lily and Mom. They wanted to talk to them and play with them. They introduced themselves to Lily and told her their names and jobs. They showed Lily their desks and computers and papers. They gave Lily some stickers and toys and books. They made Lily laugh and have fun. + +Lily and Mom had a great time in the office. They met many friends and saw many things. They talked and learned and played. They thanked the people for their kindness and generosity. They said goodbye and hugged them. They left the office and took the lift down. They walked to the car and drove home. + +Lily said, "Mom, I had a wonderful day. I liked your office and your friends. They were very nice and fun. I learned a lot and I got many gifts. Thank you for taking me with you. I love you, Mom." + +Mom said, "Lily, I had a wonderful day too. I liked showing you my office and my friends. They liked you a lot and they were very happy to meet you. You were very polite and curious and brave. I am very proud of you. I love you too, Lily." +Lily was a nurse who worked at a big hospital. She helped many people who were sick or hurt. She was very reliable. She always did her job well and was kind to everyone. + +One day, Lily was very tired. She had worked all night and had many patients to see. She wanted to go home and nap, but she had to stay until her shift was over. + +She went to the break room and saw a couch. She thought, maybe I can nap here for a little while. No one will mind. She lay down on the couch and closed her eyes. + +Soon, she heard a voice. It was a little boy. He said, "Hello, nurse. Are you sleeping?" + +Lily opened her eyes and saw the boy. He had a bandage on his arm and a teddy bear in his hand. He looked sad. + +Lily smiled and said, "Hello, little boy. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "My name is Max. I hurt my arm when I fell off my bike. It hurts a lot." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, Max. That must be very scary. Do you want to sit with me for a bit?" + +Max nodded and climbed on the couch. He cuddled his teddy bear and said, "You are a nice nurse. Do you like your job?" + +Lily said, "I do like my job. I like to help people feel better. But sometimes I get very tired. That's why I was napping." + +Max said, "I like to nap too. Sometimes I nap with my mom or my dad. They are very reliable. They always take care of me and love me." + +Lily said, "That's wonderful, Max. You are very lucky to have such reliable parents. They must be very proud of you." + +Max said, "They are. They say I'm brave and strong. But sometimes I get scared. Like when I have to get a shot or a stitch." + +Lily said, "It's okay to be scared, Max. Everyone gets scared sometimes. But you can always ask for help or a hug. Like now, do you want a hug from me?" + +Max said, "Yes, please." He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, nurse. You make me feel better." + +Lily hugged him back and said, "You're welcome, Max. You make me feel better too." + +They both smiled and closed their eyes. They napped together on the couch until it was time for Lily to go home and Max to see his parents. They were both happy and grateful. They had found a new friend. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park. But today, they have a problem. Mom says they have to wear pants. Pants are bad. They are hot and itchy. Ben and Mia want to wear shorts. + +"Mom, please let us wear shorts," Ben says. "Pants are bad. We will be too hot." + +"No, you have to wear pants," Mom says. "It is cold outside. Shorts are not good for cold days. You will be sick." + +Ben and Mia are sad. They do not want to wear pants. They do not want to be sick. They look at each other. They have an idea. + +They go to their room. They find scissors. They cut their pants. They make them into shorts. They are happy. They put on their shorts. They run to the park. + +Mom sees them. She is angry. She runs after them. + +"Ben! Mia! What did you do?" Mom says. "You cut your pants! Those were good pants. Now they are bad pants. You are in trouble." + +Ben and Mia are scared. They did not think Mom would be angry. They thought Mom would be happy. They say sorry. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Mia says. "We did not like pants. We like shorts. Shorts are good. Pants are bad." + +Mom sighs. She hugs them. She is not angry anymore. She is sad. + +"Ben, Mia, I love you," Mom says. "But you cannot cut your pants. That is not good. You have to ask me first. Pants are not bad. They are good for some days. Shorts are good for other days. You have to wear what is right for the weather. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Mia nod. They understand. They say sorry again. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Ben says. "We will not cut our pants again. We will wear what you say. We love you." + +Mom smiles. She loves them too. She takes them to the park. They play. They have fun. They forget about pants. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and had guns made of sticks. They hid behind the trees and bushes and whispered to each other. + +"Shh, be quiet, Lily. I see the bad guys over there. They want to steal our candy," Ben said. + +Lily nodded and held her gun tight. She was scared, but she believed Ben. He was her big brother and he always protected her. + +They crawled closer to the bad guys, who were really some older kids sitting on a bench. Ben and Lily waited for the right moment to attack. + +"Ready, Lily? On the count of three, we shoot. One, two, three!" Ben shouted. + +They jumped out of their hiding place and pointed their guns at the bad guys. They made loud noises with their mouths, like "pew pew pew". + +The older kids looked surprised and annoyed. They laughed at Ben and Lily and told them to go away. + +"Hey, stop that, you little brats. Those are not real guns, they are just sticks. You can't hurt us with those. Go play somewhere else," one of them said. + +Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like being laughed at. They thought their guns were real and they were brave spies. + +They ran back to their hiding place and hugged each other. + +"Don't worry, Lily. They are just mean. We know our guns are real. We just have to believe in them. And we have each other. We are the best spies ever," Ben said. + +Lily smiled and nodded. She believed Ben. He was her big brother and he always made her feel better. + +They decided to play something else. They still had their guns and their candy. And they still had their imagination. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big hole under a bush. They decided to see what was inside. They crawled into the hole and saw a shiny box. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He opened the box and saw many yellow things. "These are gold! We are wealthy now!" + +Lily was not so sure. She touched one of the yellow things and felt it was cold and hard. "I don't like gold. It is not fun to play with. I like flowers and toys and books." + +Tom was angry. He wanted to keep the gold and buy many things. "You are silly, Lily. Gold is the best thing in the world. You can have anything you want with gold. I will take the box and go home. You can stay here with your flowers and toys and books." + +Lily was sad. She did not want to lose her brother. She tried to stop him, but he was too strong. He pushed her away and ran out of the hole with the box. Lily cried and followed him. + +But when they got out of the hole, they saw a big man waiting for them. He had a beard and a hat and a coat. He looked angry and scary. He grabbed the box from Tom and said, "Ha! I found you, you little thieves! This is my gold! I buried it here long ago. Now give it back or I will hurt you!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They wished they had never found the gold. They wished they had stayed in the garden and played with their flowers and toys and books. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry, mister. We did not know it was your gold. Please don't hurt us. We don't want the gold. We just want to go home." + +The man looked at them and saw they were telling the truth. He felt sorry for them. He said, "Well, you are lucky I am not a bad man. I will let you go, but you must promise me never to come back here. And never to tell anyone about the gold. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Yes, mister. We promise. Thank you for letting us go. We are sorry for taking your gold." + +The man smiled and said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But remember, gold is not the most important thing in the world. It can make you greedy and unhappy. The most important thing is to love and be loved. Now go home and be good to each other." + +Lily and Tom thanked him again and ran home. They hugged their mom and dad and told them they loved them. They decided to never look for gold again. They decided to be happy with what they had. They decided to be wealthy in their hearts. +Jack loves baseball. He is very enthusiastic. He wants to play baseball every day. He has a baseball, a bat and a glove. He also has a big poster of his favorite baseball player on his wall. + +One day, Jack decides to play baseball in his room. He throws the baseball at the poster and hits it with the bat. He thinks he is very good. He does it again and again. He does not notice that he is making holes in the poster and the wall. + +"Jack, what are you doing?" his mom asks. She hears a loud noise from his room. She opens the door and sees the mess. She is very angry. + +"Mom, I am playing baseball!" Jack says. He is proud of his skills. + +"Jack, you are not playing baseball. You are destroying your poster and the wall. That is very bad. You have to stop right now. You have to say sorry and help me fix this." his mom says. She is very sad. + +Jack feels sorry. He did not mean to destroy anything. He loves his poster and his mom. He says sorry and hugs his mom. He helps her clean up the room. He learns that he cannot play baseball in his room. He has to play baseball outside or in a safe place. He still loves baseball, but he is more careful. He is still very enthusiastic, but he is also respectful. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big monkey. The monkey is soft and brown and has a long tail. They hug the monkey and make funny noises. + +One day, Mom says it is time to clean the room. She says they have to put away their toys and fold their clothes. Ben and Mia do not want to stop playing. They say they are not done yet. + +Mom says they have to listen or they will not get a snack. She says they can play again after they clean. Ben and Mia sigh and start to pick up their toys. They put them in a box or on a shelf. They find their clothes on the floor and on the bed. They try to fold them, but they do not know how. + +They ask Mom to help them. Mom shows them how to fold a shirt and a pants. She says they have to make them flat and smooth. She says they have to match the corners and the edges. Ben and Mia watch and try to copy her. They fold some clothes, but some are too big or too wrinkled. + +They see the monkey on the bed. They want to play with him again. They grab him and hug him. But Mom says the monkey is dirty. She says he needs a bath. She says they have to put him in the washer. Ben and Mia do not like that. They say the monkey will be scared and lonely. They say he will not be soft and brown anymore. + +Mom says the monkey will be fine. She says he will be clean and happy. She says they can play with him again after he is dry. She says they have to be brave and let him go. Ben and Mia are sad, but they trust Mom. They kiss the monkey and say goodbye. They put him in the washer and close the lid. They hope he will be back soon. They finish folding their clothes and put them in the drawer. They are proud of their work. Mom says they did a good job. She says they can have a snack now. She says they can play again after they eat. Ben and Mia smile and run to the kitchen. They wonder how the monkey is doing. They hope he is not too wet. They hope he is still their friend. +Lila and Ben like to play at the beach. They like to dig in the sand, make castles and look for shells. They also like to watch the water go up and down. They see the water has a rhythm. It makes a sound like shhh-shhh-shhh. + +One day, they see a big wave coming. It is bigger than the other waves. It is pale and foamy. Lila and Ben are scared. They run to their mom and dad. + +"Mom, dad, look at the big wave!" Lila says. + +"Is it going to get us?" Ben asks. + +Mom and dad hug them and smile. They say, "Don't worry, the big wave is not going to get us. It is going to break on the shore. It is part of the rhythm of the water. It is beautiful and fun to watch." + +Lila and Ben feel better. They go back to the sand and watch the big wave. They see it crash and splash. They laugh and clap. They wave at the big wave and say, "Hello, big wave! Thank you for the show!" +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they find a big loop in the park. It is red and shiny. They want to play with it. + +"Can I have the loop?" Tim asks. + +"No, I saw it first. It is mine. I own it," Sam says. + +They both pull the loop. They are angry. They do not share. + +"Let go of the loop!" Tim shouts. + +"No, you let go!" Sam shouts back. + +They pull harder and harder. The loop breaks. It makes a loud noise. They are sad. They do not have the loop anymore. + +They look at each other. They are sorry. They say sorry. + +"Sorry, Tim. I was mean. Can we be friends again?" Sam says. + +"Sorry, Sam. I was mean too. Yes, we can be friends again," Tim says. + +They hug. They find another toy to play with. They share. They are happy. +Lily was eager to go to the park with her mom. She put on her jacket and hat, but she had trouble with her zipper. It was stuck and she could not move it up or down. + +"Mom, help me!" she cried. "My zipper is not working!" + +Mom came over and looked at Lily's zipper. She saw that it was caught on a piece of fabric. She gently pulled the fabric out and freed the zipper. + +"There you go, sweetie," she said. "Now you can zip up your jacket." + +Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She zipped up her jacket all the way to her chin. She felt warm and cozy. + +"Can we go now, mom?" she asked. "I want to play on the slide and the swings!" + +Mom nodded and took Lily's hand. They walked out of the door and headed to the park. + +On the way, they saw a big dog running towards them. It was barking loudly and wagging its tail. Lily liked dogs, but this one was too big and too noisy. She felt scared and hid behind her mom. + +"Stop, dog, stop!" she shouted. "You are too loud and too fast!" + +The dog's owner heard Lily and called the dog back. He apologized to Lily and her mom and said that the dog was friendly and just wanted to say hello. + +Lily peeked from behind her mom and saw that the dog had a friendly face and a red collar. She felt a little less scared and waved at the dog. + +"Hello, dog," she said. "Sorry I yelled at you. You are very cute, but please be careful with your zipper. It might get stuck like mine did." +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. Lily likes to sort her toys by color. She puts the red toys in one pile, the blue toys in another pile, and so on. Tom likes to sort his toys by shape. He puts the round toys in one pile, the square toys in another pile, and so on. + +"Look, Lily, I sorted my toys by shape. Do you like it?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, Tom, I like it. You are very intelligent. You know all the shapes. But I sorted my toys by color. Do you like it?" Lily replies. + +"Yes, Lily, I like it. You are very intelligent, too. You know all the colors. But why do you have a toy arm in your yellow pile? That is not a yellow toy. That is a toy arm." Tom says. + +Lily looks at the toy arm. It is a part of a doll that broke. She likes the toy arm because it is soft and bendy. She does not want to give it to Tom. + +"It is a yellow toy. It has a yellow dress on it. See?" Lily says, pointing to the tiny piece of fabric on the toy arm. + +"That is not a dress. That is a scrap. The toy arm is not yellow. It is pink. It belongs in my round pile. Give it to me." Tom says, reaching for the toy arm. + +Lily pulls the toy arm away from Tom. She does not want to share it. She likes it too much. + +"No, it is mine. I found it. It is a yellow toy. Go away." Lily says, holding the toy arm tightly. + +Tom and Lily start to argue. They raise their voices and tug at the toy arm. They are not happy. They are not playing nicely. + +Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the toy arm. She is not happy, either. + +"Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a toy arm? That is not a nice way to play. You need to share and be kind to each other." Mom says, taking the toy arm from them. + +"But, Mom, it is my toy arm. I sorted it by color. It is yellow." Lily says, trying to get the toy arm back. + +"No, Mom, it is my toy arm. I sorted it by shape. It is round." Tom says, trying to get the toy arm back. + +Mom shakes her head. She does not understand why they are so attached to the toy arm. She has an idea. + +"Listen, Lily and Tom, I have a better idea. Why don't you sort the toy arm by something else? Something that both of you can agree on. Something that makes the toy arm special. Can you think of something?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Tom think for a moment. They look at the toy arm. They see that it is soft and bendy. They see that it has a tiny piece of fabric on it. They see that it is a part of a doll that broke. They see that it is a toy that they both like. + +They smile at each other. They have an idea. + +"Mom, we can sort the toy arm by love. It is a toy that we love. We can share it and play with it together. We can make it a new dress and a new body. We can make it happy again." Lily and Tom say. + +Mom smiles, too. She is proud of them. She gives them the toy arm back. + +"That is a wonderful idea. You are very intelligent and very kind. You sorted the toy arm by love. That is the best way to sort anything. I love you both." Mom says, hugging them. + +Lily and Tom hug Mom back. They are happy. They are not fighting anymore. They are playing nicely. They sort the toy arm by love. +Anna and Ben are at the zoo with their mom. They see many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. They are very happy and excited. + +Then they come to the elephant house. Anna and Ben notice a big gray elephant with a long nose and big ears. The elephant is eating some hay and making loud noises. + +"Wow, look at the elephant!" Anna says. "It is so big and interesting!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben agrees. "Can we go closer and touch it?" + +Mom shakes her head. "No, we can't touch the elephant. It is not safe. The elephant might get scared or angry. We can only watch and learn from a distance." + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They watch the elephant for a while and ask mom many questions. Mom tells them some facts about the elephant, like how it uses its nose to drink water and pick up things, and how it lives in a group with other elephants. + +Anna and Ben think the elephant is very smart and cool. They wave goodbye to the elephant and thank mom for taking them to the zoo. They can't wait to see more animals and have more fun. +Ben and Lily went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and horses. They also saw a big field of corn. The corn was tall and green, and had yellow ears. + +"Can we pick some corn, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. You can choose one ear each. But be careful, there might be some bugs or snakes hiding in the corn," mom said. + +Ben and Lily ran to the corn field. They looked for the biggest and brightest ears they could find. They pulled and twisted until they came off the stalks. + +"Look, mom, I found a huge one!" Ben said, holding his ear proudly. + +"Wow, that's a nice one, Ben. How about you, Lily?" mom asked. + +Lily was quiet. She was holding a small and wrinkled ear. It had a hole in it, and something was moving inside. + +"Mom, what is this?" Lily asked, scared. + +Mom came closer and looked at the ear. She saw a pair of shiny eyes and a long tail poking out of the hole. + +"Oh, my! That's a mouse, Lily. He must have made a home in the corn. He looks very mysterious," mom said. + +Lily dropped the ear and screamed. The mouse jumped out and ran away. + +"Mom, I don't want this corn. I want a different one," Lily said. + +"Okay, honey. You can choose another one. But hurry up, we have to go soon," mom said. + +Lily looked for a new ear. She found one that was big and bright, like Ben's. She was happy. + +"Look, mom, I found a good one!" Lily said, smiling. + +"That's great, Lily. You and Ben chose very well. Now let's go and pay for the corn, and then we can go home and eat it," mom said. + +Ben and Lily followed mom and dad to the farmer. They gave him some money and thanked him for the corn. They put the corn in a bag and went to the car. + +They had a fun day at the farm. They learned about animals and corn. They also learned to be careful and to choose wisely. They couldn't wait to eat their corn for dinner. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. They have a big network of other friends who play with them too. Sometimes they share their toys, and sometimes they do not. + +One day, Tim and Mia are playing with a big tower of blocks. They are very proud of their tower. They want to show it to their network of friends. But then, a big wind comes and blows their tower down. All the blocks fall and make a loud noise. + +"Oh no!" Tim says. "Our tower is gone!" + +Mia starts to cry. She is very sad and angry. She thinks Tim did not do a good job of building the tower. She says, "Tim, you are bad! You made our tower fall! I do not want to play with you anymore!" + +Tim feels hurt. He did not make the tower fall. It was the wind. He says, "Mia, I am sorry. I did not do it. It was the wind. Please do not be mad at me. We can build another tower together." + +But Mia does not listen. She picks up her blocks and runs away. She does not want to share with Tim anymore. She does not want to be his friend. + +Tim is very sad. He does not have anyone to play with. He looks at his network of friends. They are busy playing with other toys. He feels lonely and left out. + +Then, he sees Lily. Lily is a new girl in the network. She does not have many friends yet. She is sitting by herself, playing with a doll. Tim walks over to her and says, "Hi, Lily. I am Tim. Can I play with you?" + +Lily looks up and smiles. She says, "Hi, Tim. I am Lily. Yes, you can play with me. Do you like dolls?" + +Tim says, "I do not know. I never played with dolls before. But I can try. Maybe you can teach me." + +Lily says, "Okay. I can teach you. You can be the daddy, and I can be the mommy. And this is our baby. She is very patient. She does not cry a lot." + +Tim says, "Okay. That sounds fun. Thank you, Lily. You are very nice." + +Lily says, "You are welcome, Tim. You are very nice too." + +Tim and Lily start to play with the doll. They have a lot of fun. They laugh and talk and pretend. They do not care about the wind or the blocks or Mia. They are happy. They are friends. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. They had a small cabin made of wood where they kept their toys. Sometimes they pretended it was a garage or a shop or a house. + +One day, they found a new car in the cabin. It was big and shiny and red. It had a button on the roof that said "reverse". Ben and Mia wondered what it did. They decided to try it out. + +They took the car to the driveway and pushed the button. The car made a loud beep and started to move backwards. Ben and Mia were surprised and excited. They followed the car as it went down the driveway and onto the road. + +"Look, it's reversing!" Ben shouted. + +"Where is it going?" Mia asked. + +They saw a big truck coming towards them. It was dull and dirty and noisy. It did not see the car or the children. Ben and Mia were scared. They wanted to stop the car, but they did not know how. + +"Help, help!" they cried. + +Dad heard them and ran out of the house. He saw the car and the truck and the children. He was quick and brave. He ran to the car and grabbed it. He pulled it off the road and onto the grass. He saved the car and the children. + +"Are you okay?" he asked. + +"Yes, Dad, we're okay," Ben and Mia said. + +"That was a close one," Dad said. "Where did you get this car?" + +"We found it in the cabin," Ben and Mia said. + +Dad looked at the car. He saw a sticker on the door that said "Property of Mr. Jones". Mr. Jones was their neighbor. He liked to invent things. + +"Oh, I see," Dad said. "This is one of Mr. Jones's inventions. He must have left it in the cabin by mistake. We should return it to him." + +"Can we play with it again?" Ben and Mia asked. + +"Maybe another time," Dad said. "But only with my permission and supervision. And never on the road. Reversing can be dangerous." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They learned their lesson. They gave the car back to Mr. Jones and thanked him. They went back to their cabin and played with their other toys. They still liked to zoom and crash and honk, but they never pushed the reverse button again. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a box for her dolls, a box for her cars, and a box for her books. She also had a big dragon toy that she loved very much. She put the dragon on her bed, next to her pillow. + +One day, she heard a loud noise from her room. She ran to see what it was. She saw a real dragon in her room. It was big and green and had sharp teeth and claws. It was looking at her toys and making a mess. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. "Why are you in my room?" + +The dragon turned and saw Lily. It growled and said, "I am Rex. I am a dangerous dragon. I came to find a treasure. Maybe your toys are treasure." + +Lily was scared, but she was also brave. She said, "No, they are not treasure. They are my toys. You can't have them. You have to go away." + +Rex laughed and said, "You are a small girl. You can't tell me what to do. I can take whatever I want. I like your dragon toy. It looks like me. I will take it and fly away." + +Lily felt angry and sad. She loved her dragon toy. She did not want to lose it. She said, "No, you can't take it. It is mine. It is my friend. You are a bad dragon. You are not like my dragon toy. My dragon toy is nice and soft and cuddly. You are mean and hard and scary." + +Rex looked at the dragon toy. He felt curious and confused. He said, "What do you mean? How can a toy be your friend? How can it be nice and soft and cuddly? It is not alive. It is not like me. I am alive. I am a real dragon." + +Lily said, "You are a real dragon, but you are not a good dragon. You are a dangerous dragon. You make noise and mess and trouble. You scare people and animals. You don't have any friends. You are lonely and unhappy. My toy is not alive, but it makes me happy. It plays with me and listens to me and sleeps with me. It is my friend. I am not lonely. I am happy." + +Rex thought about what Lily said. He felt a strange feeling in his chest. He wondered if he was missing something. He wondered if he could be happy too. He said, "Can I try to be your friend? Can I play with you and your toy? Can I be nice and soft and cuddly?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful. You have to be gentle. You have to be quiet. You have to organize your mess. And you have to share. Can you do that?" + +Rex nodded and said, "Yes, I can. I will try. I want to be your friend. I want to be happy." + +Lily and Rex became friends. They played with the toys and the books. They organized the mess. They shared the dragon toy. They were nice and soft and cuddly. They were happy. +Lily was playing with her doll in the park. She liked to make her doll talk and walk and sing. She felt happy and safe with her doll. + +Then she saw a man walking towards her. He was not her dad or her mom or anyone she knew. He was a stranger. He had a big hat and a long coat and a bag. He smiled at her and said, "Hello, little girl. What is your name?" + +Lily felt scared and shy. She did not want to talk to the stranger. She hugged her doll and said, "No, thank you. Go away." + +But the stranger did not go away. He came closer and said, "Don't be afraid. I have a present for you in my bag. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily felt more scared and said, "No, thank you. Go away. I want my mom." + +The stranger reached out his hand and said, "Come with me. I will show you something fun." + +Lily felt very scared and screamed, "No, no, no! Help, help, help!" + +Then she heard a voice she knew. It was her mom. She ran to the park and saw Lily and the stranger. She felt angry and said, "What are you doing? Leave my daughter alone!" + +The stranger felt nervous and said, "I was just trying to be friendly. I have a present for her." + +The mom felt furious and said, "You are lying. You are a bad man. Go away or I will call the police." + +The stranger felt afraid and ran away. He dropped his bag and his hat and his coat. + +The mom felt relieved and hugged Lily. She said, "Are you okay, my sweetie? I am sorry I left you alone for a minute. I was looking for a bench. You did a good job of saying no to the stranger. You are very brave and smart." + +Lily felt happy and said, "I love you, mom. Thank you for saving me. Can we go home now?" + +The mom said, "Yes, we can. Let's go home and have some cookies and milk. And maybe we can play with your doll together." + +Lily said, "Yes, please. That sounds easy and fun." +Anna liked to sign. She learned how to sign from her mom, who was deaf. Anna could sign hello, thank you, sorry, and many other words. She liked to sign with her mom and her friends at school. + +One day, Anna wanted to make a sign for her mom. She found some paper and crayons and drew a big heart. She wrote "I love you" in sign language. She was very proud of her sign. She wanted to surprise her mom when she came home from work. + +She looked for a good place to put her sign. She saw the freezer in the kitchen. She thought it was a good place. She opened the freezer and put her sign inside. She closed the freezer and smiled. She hoped her mom would like her sign. + +She went to play with her toys in the living room. She was calm and happy. She did not hear the freezer beep. She did not know that the freezer was broken. She did not know that her sign would get very cold and wet. + +When her mom came home, she hugged Anna and signed hello. She went to the kitchen to make some dinner. She opened the freezer and saw Anna's sign. She was very surprised and touched. She took out the sign and saw that it was frozen and soggy. She signed to Anna, "What is this?" + +Anna ran to the kitchen and saw her sign. She was very sad and sorry. She signed to her mom, "I made a sign for you. I love you. I wanted to surprise you. I put it in the freezer. I did not know it was broken. I am sorry." + +Her mom hugged her and signed, "I love you too. Thank you for your sign. It is very beautiful. It is okay. The freezer is broken. We will get a new one. We will make a new sign together. Do not be sad. You are very sweet." +Lily was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy put a thermometer in her mouth to see how hot she was. Lily did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made her tongue feel funny. + +"Be still, Lily. It will be over soon," Mommy said. + +Lily waited and waited. She wanted to play with her ball. Her ball was red and round and soft. She liked to bounce it on the floor and catch it with her hands. Bouncing made her happy. + +The thermometer beeped. Mommy took it out of Lily's mouth and looked at it. + +"Oh, Lily. You have a fever. You need to rest and drink some water. No bouncing today," Mommy said. + +Lily felt sad. She did not want to rest. She wanted to bounce. She looked at her ball on the shelf. It looked lonely. + +"Please, Mommy. Can I bounce for a little bit? Just a little bit?" Lily asked. + +Mommy shook her head. "No, Lily. Bouncing will make you hotter and sicker. You need to lie down and sleep. Maybe tomorrow you can bounce again." + +Lily pouted. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to bounce. She lay down on her bed and closed her eyes. She dreamed of bouncing. She bounced fast and high and far. She bounced with her friends and her toys and her ball. She bounced and bounced and bounced. She smiled in her sleep. Bouncing made her happy. +Ben and Lily went to a pizza place with Mom and Dad. They were very hungry and happy. They looked at the menu on the wall. It had pictures of different pizzas and drinks. Ben liked the pizza with cheese and ham. Lily liked the pizza with cheese and pineapple. + +"Can we have one pizza each?" Ben asked Mom. + +"No, Ben, that is too much. We can share one pizza and have some salad and water. That is better for our health and our money. We value our health and our money, right?" Mom said. + +"Yes, Mom, we value our health and our money. But can we have a blue cup for our water? Blue is my favorite color." Ben said. + +"Sure, Ben, you can have a blue cup. And Lily, what color do you want?" Mom said. + +"I want a pink cup. Pink is my favorite color." Lily said. + +"Okay, then. Let's order our pizza and our cups. I hope you enjoy your meal." Mom said. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They were happy to share their pizza and have their favorite cups. They thanked Mom and Dad for taking them to the pizza place. They ate their pizza and drank their water. They had a good time. +Lily was eager to go to school. She wanted to make new friends and learn new things. She put on her pink dress and her yellow shoes and ran to the bus. + +At school, she saw many children in her class. They were sitting in a big circle on the floor. Lily smiled and walked to the circle. She saw a boy with curly hair and a girl with glasses. She wanted to say hello to them. + +"Hi, I'm Lily," she said to the boy. "What's your name?" + +"I'm Sam," the boy said. "Nice to meet you, Lily." + +Lily turned to the girl. "Hi, I'm Lily," she said again. "What's your name?" + +"I'm Anna," the girl said. "Nice to meet you, Lily." + +Lily was happy. She had introduced herself to two new friends. She sat down next to them and joined the circle. She wondered what they would do next. She hoped they would have fun. +Lily liked to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. They took turns to count and find each other in the house. One day, they decided to play in their mom's room, because it was big and had many things to hide behind. + +Tom counted to ten and then said, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looked under the bed, behind the door, in the closet, but he could not find Lily. He started to feel worried. Where was she? He called out, "Lily, where are you? I give up!" + +Lily giggled and came out of her hiding spot. She had found a big box in the corner of the room, full of mom's old clothes and toys. She had crawled inside and pulled the lid over her. She said, "I'm here, Tom! I was in the box. You could not see me. I vanished!" + +Tom was surprised and happy to see her. He said, "Wow, Lily, you are very good at hiding. You did vanish. How did you find the box?" + +Lily said, "I saw it when we came in. Mom was busy and did not see us. She was on the phone. I think the box is from grandma. It has her name on it. Can we look inside?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Sure, let's look. Maybe we can find more things to play with. But we have to be careful and not make a mess. Mom will be mad if we do." + +They opened the box and found many treasures inside. They had fun trying on the clothes, playing with the toys, and making up stories. They forgot about the time and did not hear mom calling them for lunch. They were too busy having fun in the box. +Zara and Zane were twins who liked to play with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower with their blocks, but they had a problem. The blocks were not very strong and the tower kept falling down. + +"Maybe we need to support the tower with something else," Zara said, looking around the room. + +"What can we use?" Zane asked, scratching his head. + +Zara saw a big book on the shelf. She had an idea. She was a thoughtful girl who liked to solve problems. She took the book and put it on the floor. Then she put some blocks on top of the book. + +"Look, Zane, the book is supporting the blocks. Now we can make the tower higher," she said, smiling. + +Zane was happy. He liked to build things with his sister. He took some more blocks and put them on top of the book and the blocks. He made a zigzag pattern with the blocks, because he thought it looked fun. + +"Wow, Zara, look at our tower. It is so tall and has a zigzag. It is the best tower ever," he said, clapping his hands. + +Zara and Zane hugged each other. They were proud of their tower. They had worked together and used their imagination. They had a lot of fun with their blocks and their book. They were a good team. +Ben liked to watch the fisherman by the lake. He had a big hat, a long stick and a basket. He would throw the stick in the water and wait. Sometimes he would pull out a fish and put it in the basket. Ben thought the fisherman was attractive. He had a nice smile and a friendly voice. + +One day, Ben decided to ask the fisherman a question. He walked up to him and said, "Hello, fisherman. What are you doing?" + +The fisherman looked at Ben and smiled. He said, "Hello, little boy. I am fishing. Do you like fish?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, I like fish. They are shiny and slippery. Can I see your fish?" + +The fisherman said, "Sure, you can see my fish. Come here and look in my basket." + +Ben followed the fisherman and looked in his basket. He saw many fish of different colors and sizes. He said, "Wow, you have many fish. They are beautiful. How do you catch them?" + +The fisherman said, "I use a hook and a worm. The fish like to eat the worm, but when they bite it, they get stuck on the hook. Then I pull them out of the water." + +Ben said, "That is clever. Can I try?" + +The fisherman said, "Of course, you can try. Here, take my stick and hold it like this. I will put a worm on the hook for you. Now, throw it in the water and wait." + +Ben did as the fisherman said. He threw the stick in the water and waited. He felt a tug on the stick. He said, "I think I have a fish!" + +The fisherman said, "Good job, Ben. Now, pull the stick back and see what you caught." + +Ben pulled the stick back and saw a small fish on the hook. He said, "Look, I caught a fish! It is small and green. Can I keep it?" + +The fisherman said, "Yes, you can keep it. It is your first fish. You can take it home and show your mom and dad. They will be proud of you." + +Ben said, "Thank you, fisherman. You are very nice. Can I come back and fish with you again?" + +The fisherman said, "You are very welcome, Ben. You are a good fisher. You can come back and fish with me anytime. I like your company." + +Ben said, "I like your company too. You are my friend." + +The fisherman said, "You are my friend too, Ben. Now, let's go and say goodbye to the fish." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben says. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. It might have something sharp or bad inside." Anna says. + +They look for something to cut the box. They see a pair of scissors on a bench. Ben runs to get them. + +"Wait, Ben! Those are not ours. We have to ask first." Anna says. + +Ben stops. He looks at the scissors. He looks at the box. He wants to open it. + +"But no one is here. And we will give them back. Please, Anna, let's do it." Ben says. + +Anna thinks. She wants to open the box too. But she knows it is not honest to take things that are not theirs. + +"Ben, we have to be honest. We can't take the scissors. Maybe we can find something else to cut the box. Or maybe we can ask someone for help. Please, promise me you won't take the scissors." Anna says. + +Ben looks at Anna. He sees her eyes. He knows she is right. He puts the scissors back on the bench. + +"OK, Anna, I promise. I won't take the scissors. We will find another way to open the box. Or maybe we will find something else to play with. You are a good friend." Ben says. + +Anna smiles. She hugs Ben. They are happy. They are honest. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going on a holiday with Mum and Dad. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and books. Mum said they had to include some useful things too, like a hat, a bottle and a map. + +They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw many things on the way, like cows, trees and bridges. Tom asked, "Are we there yet?" Dad said, "Not yet, but soon. We are going to the beach. Do you like the beach?" Lily and Tom nodded. They liked the sand, the water and the shells. + +When they arrived, they found a nice spot to put their things. They ran to the water and splashed and played. They made a big sandcastle and decorated it with shells and seaweed. They saw some other children and made friends with them. They shared their toys and books and had fun. + +Mum called them for lunch. They ate sandwiches, fruit and cookies. They drank some water from their bottles. Mum said, "You are very good at including useful things in your bags. You are not thirsty or hungry or sunburnt." Lily and Tom smiled. They were proud of themselves. + +They went back to the water and played some more. They saw some fish, crabs and starfish. They collected some shells and stones to take home. They had a wonderful time. They said, "This is the best holiday ever!" +One day, a little girl named Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw a big tree with many leaves and flowers. She wanted to pick some for her mom, because she loved her mom very much. + +She ran to the tree and reached for a flower. But then she heard a voice. + +"Please don't pick me. I am a living thing, just like you. I need my flowers to make seeds and grow more trees. If you pick me, you hurt me and my friends." + +Anna was surprised. She looked around and saw a face on the tree trunk. It had eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a smile. + +"Who are you?" Anna asked. + +"I am a tree. I am a human's friend. I give you air, shade, fruit, and beauty. I am a gifted tree. I can talk to humans who value me and listen to me." + +Anna was amazed. She had never met a talking tree before. She felt sorry for wanting to pick its flowers. + +"I'm sorry, tree. I didn't know you could talk. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to give my mom a gift. She is a human who values me and listens to me. She is a gifted mom." + +The tree smiled again. + +"I understand, Anna. You are a good girl. You love your mom and you respect me. You are a gifted human. You can talk to trees and learn from them. How about this? You can take one flower, but only one. And you can come back and visit me anytime. I will tell you stories and secrets of the forest. Would you like that?" + +Anna nodded happily. + +"Yes, tree. Thank you. You are a kind tree. You are a gifted friend. I will come back and visit you. And I will tell my mom about you. She will be happy to meet you too." + +Anna picked one flower and ran back to her mom. She gave her the flower and hugged her. + +"Mom, I have a gift for you. And I have a story for you. I met a talking tree. He is a human's friend. He is a gifted tree. And he said I am a gifted human. And you are a gifted mom. Do you want to hear more?" + +Her mom smiled and kissed her. + +"Of course, Anna. I would love to hear more. You are a wonderful daughter. You are a gifted storyteller. And you are a human who values life and nature. Let's go and see the tree together. Maybe he will talk to us too." +Lily was a shy girl who did not like to talk to new people. She liked to stay at home with her mom and dad and play with her toys. She also liked to eat broccoli, because it was green and crunchy. + +One day, her mom told her that they were going to visit her aunt and uncle and their baby. Lily felt scared and did not want to go. She said, "Mom, can I stay here? I don't know them and they don't have broccoli." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Lily, it's okay to be shy, but sometimes you have to try new things. Your aunt and uncle are very nice and they love you. They also have broccoli for you, and you can share it with their baby. He is very cute and he likes to play with you." + +Lily was still nervous, but she agreed to go with her mom. When they got to her aunt and uncle's house, they greeted her with smiles and hugs. They showed her their baby, who was sleeping in a crib. Lily looked at him and saw that he had curly hair and big eyes. He looked like a doll. + +Her aunt said, "Lily, do you want to hold him? He is very gentle and he likes you." + +Lily nodded and her aunt helped her to hold the baby. He woke up and looked at her. He smiled and reached for her hair. Lily felt a warm feeling in her chest. She smiled back and said, "Hi, baby. I'm Lily. Do you like broccoli?" +Tom and Lily like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green and more. + +One day, they find a new block in the box. It is not like the other blocks. It is round and has a hole in the middle. It is a circle block. Tom and Lily are curious. They want to see what they can do with the circle block. + +Tom tries to put the circle block on top of a tower. But it does not stay. It rolls off and falls to the floor. Tom is sad. He says, "The circle block is bad. It makes my tower fall." + +Lily tries to put the circle block under a bridge. But it does not fit. It is too big and pushes the other blocks away. Lily is angry. She says, "The circle block is mean. It breaks my bridge." + +Tom and Lily do not like the circle block. They want to prevent it from ruining their play. They decide to hide it in the corner. They cover it with a blanket. They say, "The circle block is gone. It cannot bother us anymore." + +But then, they hear a noise. It is their dog, Spot. Spot likes to play with balls. He sees the blanket moving. He thinks there is a ball under it. He runs to the corner and pulls the blanket away. He finds the circle block. He is happy. He says, "Woof! Woof! A new ball for me!" + +Spot picks up the circle block with his mouth. He runs around the room. He bounces the circle block on the floor. He tosses the circle block in the air. He catches the circle block with his paws. He has fun with the circle block. + +Tom and Lily watch Spot play with the circle block. They see that the circle block is not bad or mean. It is just different. They see that the circle block can make someone happy. They feel sorry for hiding the circle block. They say, "The circle block is good. It makes Spot glad." + +Tom and Lily join Spot in his play. They take turns throwing and catching the circle block. They roll and chase the circle block. They laugh and hug the circle block. They have fun with the circle block. + +Tom and Lily learn that the circle block is not a problem. It is a friend. They say, "The circle block is ours. We like the circle block." +Lily wanted a pet. She liked dogs and cats and birds and fish. But her mom and dad said no. They said pets were too much work and too messy. Lily was sad. + +One day, Lily saw a fake pet in the store. It was a soft toy dog that could bark and wag its tail. Lily loved it. She asked her mom if she could have it. Her mom said yes. She said it was a good pet for Lily. It was not too much work and not too messy. Lily was happy. + +Lily named her fake pet Spot. She played with him every day. She fed him pretend food and gave him pretend water. She brushed his fur and took him for walks. She talked to him and he barked back. Lily and Spot were best friends. + +One night, Lily wanted to sleep with Spot. She asked her mom if she could. Her mom said no. She said Spot had to sleep in his own bed. She said Lily had to sleep in her own bed. Lily was sad. + +"But why?" Lily asked. "Spot is my pet. I love him. He loves me. He will be lonely without me." + +"Spot is not a real pet, Lily. He is a fake pet. He is a toy. He does not feel anything. He does not need anything. He will be fine without you. You need to sleep in your own bed. That is the rule." Her mom said. + +Lily did not understand. She thought Spot was real. She thought he felt and needed and loved. She did not like the rule. She did not want to leave Spot alone. She cried. + +Her mom hugged her. She said she was sorry. She said she loved her. She said she could permit her to sleep with Spot for one night. But only for one night. Then Spot had to go back to his own bed. Lily nodded. She wiped her tears. She thanked her mom. She took Spot to her bed. She cuddled him. She said good night. She fell asleep. She dreamed of real pets. +Sam was a big boy who liked to help his mom with the laundry. He would carry the dirty clothes to the washer, put in the soap, and push the buttons. He felt very proud of himself. + +One day, he wanted to surprise his mom by doing the laundry by himself. He gathered all the clothes he could find, even the ones that were not dirty, and stuffed them into the washer. He poured in a lot of soap, and turned on the water. He smiled and waited for the washer to finish. + +But something went wrong. The washer started to make loud noises and shake. Water and soap spilled out of the washer and onto the floor. The clothes got wet and heavy. Sam felt scared and helpless. He did not know what to do. + +He ran to his mom and cried, "Mom, mom, help! The laundry is bad! The washer is bad! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" + +His mom heard him and followed him to the laundry room. She saw the mess and gasped. She turned off the washer and unplugged it. She hugged Sam and said, "It's okay, Sam. You tried to help, but you made a mistake. You should not do the laundry by yourself. You should ask me first. We will clean this up together." + +Sam nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make you happy. I wanted to gain your love." + +His mom kissed him and said, "You don't have to gain my love, Sam. You already have it. You are my big boy, and I love you no matter what." +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big bed. + +One day, they find a big sheet in the closet. It is white and soft. They have an idea. They put the sheet over the bed and make a tent. They crawl inside and pretend they are camping. + +"Look, Ben, we have a fire!" Mia says. She points to a flashlight. She turns it on and off. It makes a bright light. + +"Wow, Mia, that is cool!" Ben says. He grabs a teddy bear and hugs it. He pretends it is a dog. "We have a dog, too. His name is Spot." + +They laugh and play in the tent. They tell stories and sing songs. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a knock on the door. It is their dad. He is bald and tall. He has a big smile. + +"Hello, campers!" he says. He opens the door and sees the tent. He is surprised. "What are you doing in there?" + +He lifts the sheet and looks inside. He sees Ben and Mia and the flashlight and the teddy bear. + +"We are camping, dad!" Ben says. + +"We have a fire and a dog!" Mia says. + +Their dad laughs. He thinks they are very clever. He likes their tent. + +"That is awesome, kids!" he says. He joins them in the tent. He questions them about their camping trip. He pretends he is a bear. He tickles them and makes them giggle. + +They have a good time. They love their dad. They love their tent. They are happy. +Tim and Jen are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a tie around its neck. The tie is red and blue and has dots on it. The dog looks weird. + +"Wow, look at that dog!" Tim says. "Why does it have a tie?" + +"I don't know," Jen says. "Maybe it is going to a party." + +They run to the dog and try to pet it. The dog barks and growls. It does not like them. It tries to bite them. + +"Help, help!" Tim and Jen scream. They are scared. + +A man comes running. He is the dog's owner. He grabs the dog's leash and pulls it away. + +"I'm sorry, kids," he says. "My dog is not friendly. He does not like strangers. He is very old and grumpy." + +He looks at the dog's tie and sighs. + +"This tie was a gift from my son. He thought it would make him look funny. But it only makes him angry. He hates wearing it. He thinks I punish him with it." + +He takes off the tie and throws it in the trash. + +"There, now you are free," he says to the dog. "Maybe you will be happier." + +The dog wags its tail and licks his face. + +Tim and Jen watch from a distance. They feel sorry for the dog. + +"Maybe we should give him a toy instead of a tie," Tim says. + +"Or a bone," Jen says. + +They nod and smile. They go back to playing. They leave the dog and the man alone. +Ben liked to help his mom bake. He followed her to the kitchen and saw a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some sugar. Mom said, "We are going to make a cake. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He liked cake. Mom gave him a spoon and said, "You can help me stir the batter. First, we need to crack the eggs and put them in the bowl." She showed him how to tap the egg on the counter and open it carefully. Ben tried to do the same, but he dropped the egg on the floor. It made a mess. Mom said, "That's okay, Ben. It happens sometimes. Let's clean it up and try again." + +Ben felt sorry. He wanted to help, not make a mess. He helped mom wipe the floor with a paper towel. Then he watched her crack another egg and put it in the bowl. She said, "Now we need to add the flour and the sugar. Can you help me measure them?" She gave him a cup and showed him how to fill it with flour and sugar. Ben did as she said and poured them in the bowl. Mom said, "Good job, Ben. Now we need to mix everything together. Do you know what we use to mix?" + +Ben looked around and saw a big machine on the counter. It had two metal things that looked like hooks. He pointed to it and said, "That?" Mom said, "Yes, that's the mixer. It helps us stir the batter faster and smoother. But we have to be careful, because it can be loud and dangerous. You have to hold my hand and stay away from the hooks, okay?" Ben said, "Okay." + +Mom plugged the mixer and turned it on. It made a loud noise and the hooks started to spin. Ben held mom's hand and watched the batter change from white and yellow to brown and creamy. He saw bubbles and swirls and smelled something sweet. He said, "Wow, mom. It looks good." Mom said, "It does, doesn't it? But it's not ready yet. We have to bake it in the oven. Can you help me pour the batter into the pan?" She turned off the mixer and took out the hooks. She gave Ben a spatula and said, "You can use this to scrape the batter from the bowl. We don't want to waste any, right?" Ben said, "Right." + +Ben used the spatula to scoop the batter from the bowl and put it in the pan. He tried to get every bit, but some still stuck to the bowl. He said, "Mom, the bowl is not empty. Can I lick it?" Mom said, "Sure, Ben. But only a little bit. Too much batter can make you sick. And don't forget to wash your hands afterwards." Ben said, "Okay, mom." He licked the spatula and the bowl. It tasted yummy. He said, "Mmm, mom. It's good." Mom said, "I'm glad you like it, Ben. You are a great helper. Now let's put the pan in the oven and wait for the cake to bake. Then we can decorate it and eat it. How does that sound?" Ben said, "That sounds great, mom. I love you." Mom said, "I love you too, Ben." They hugged and smiled. They were happy. +Anna was troubled. She had a big cut on her lip and it hurt a lot. She did not know how she got the cut. She was playing with her doll and then she felt a sharp pain. She cried and ran to her mom. + +"Mom, mom, look at my lip!" Anna said, pointing to her mouth. + +"Oh, Anna, what happened?" Mom asked, taking her in her arms. She looked at Anna's lip and saw some blood. She got a wet cloth and gently wiped it. + +"Did you fall or bite your lip?" Mom asked. + +"I don't know, mom. I was playing and then it hurt. It hurts so much!" Anna said, sobbing. + +"I'm sorry, sweetie. It will get better soon. Let me put some cream on it. It will help it heal and stop the pain." Mom said, getting a tube of cream from the cabinet. She squeezed some on her finger and carefully rubbed it on Anna's lip. + +"There, does that feel better?" Mom asked. + +Anna nodded. She felt the cream cool her lip and make it less sore. She hugged her mom and thanked her. + +"I love you, mom. You make me feel better." Anna said. + +"I love you too, Anna. You are very brave. Now, why don't you go back to your doll and play some more? But be careful with your lip, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, mom. I will be careful. Thank you for the cream." Anna said. She kissed her mom on the cheek and ran back to her doll. She felt happier and less troubled. She hoped her lip would heal soon and not hurt anymore. +Tom and Lily were playing in the woods. They liked to find sticks and stones and make houses for the bugs. They heard a loud noise. It sounded like a big growl. They were scared. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe it is a bear," Tom said. "Bears live in the woods. They are big and furry and have sharp teeth." + +They looked around and saw a big brown shape behind a tree. It was a bear. But it was not a normal bear. It was very old and thin. Its fur was gray and patchy. Its eyes were sad and tired. + +"Hello, little ones," the bear said in a low voice. "Do not be afraid. I will not hurt you. I am an ancient bear. I have lived in these woods for a long time. But now I am lonely and hungry. I have no friends and no food." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for the bear. They were not scared anymore. They wanted to help him. + +"Hello, ancient bear," Lily said. "We are Tom and Lily. We are playing in the woods. We have some bread and cheese in our backpack. Do you want some?" + +The bear nodded. He was happy. He thanked Tom and Lily and ate the bread and cheese. He felt better. He smiled. + +"Thank you, Tom and Lily," he said. "You are very kind and brave. You are my new friends. Can I play with you?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were happy too. They invited the bear to join their game. They gave him some sticks and stones and helped him make a house for the bugs. They had fun. They laughed and talked. They forgot about the time. + +They were the best of friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide, but there is a line of kids waiting. + +"Mom, can we go on the slide?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but you have to wait your turn," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben stand in the line. They see an old man sitting on a bench. He has a big bag of bread. He is feeding the birds. The birds fly around him and make noises. + +"Look, Mom, the old man has bread!" Ben says. + +"Yes, he does. He is very kind to the birds," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben watch the old man and the birds. They think it is fun. They forget about the slide. They want to feed the birds too. + +"Mom, can we feed the birds?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe, but you have to ask the old man first," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben walk to the bench. They say hello to the old man. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like the birds?" the old man asks. + +"Yes, we do. They are pretty and funny," Lily says. + +"Can we feed them too?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, you can. I have some bread available. Here, take some and throw it to the birds," the old man says. + +He gives Lily and Ben some bread. They thank him and throw it to the birds. The birds come closer and eat the bread. Lily and Ben laugh and clap. They are happy. The old man smiles and watches them. He is happy too. Mom joins them and thanks the old man. They all have a good time in the park. +Tom and Mia liked to play near the mill. The mill was a big house with a wheel that turned in the water. The water came from a stream that ran down the hill. Sometimes, Tom and Mia would throw stones or sticks in the water and watch them float away. + +One day, they saw a huge duck in the stream. It was bigger than any duck they had ever seen. It had a long neck and a big beak. It made a loud noise like "honk, honk". Tom and Mia were curious and wanted to get closer. + +"Let's go say hello to the duck," Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might bite," Mia said. + +They walked along the stream until they reached the duck. The duck saw them and swam towards them. Tom and Mia smiled and waved. + +"Hello, duck. What is your name?" Tom asked. + +The duck did not answer. It opened its beak and sprayed water at them. Tom and Mia got wet and cold. They gasped and ran away. + +"Hey, that's not nice. You soaked us!" Mia shouted. + +The duck honked again and swam away. Tom and Mia looked at each other and laughed. They were soaked, but they had fun. They ran back to the mill and dried themselves with a towel. They decided to play somewhere else next time. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to pour some milk for her baby brother. She took the big bottle from the fridge and carried it to the table. But the bottle was too heavy for her. She dropped it on the floor and the milk spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried. "Mom, I'm sorry! I made a mess!" + +Mom came running from the other room. She saw the milk and the broken bottle. She was not angry, but she was troubled. She hugged Anna and said, "It's okay, sweetie. Accidents happen. But we have to clean this up quickly, or the milk will go bad and smell." + +Mom gave Anna a cloth and a bucket. She said, "You can help me by wiping the milk from the floor. I'll get the broom and the dustpan and sweep the glass. Be careful, don't touch the glass. It can cut you." + +Anna nodded and did as mom said. She wiped the milk with the cloth and squeezed it into the bucket. Then she poured the bucket into the sink. She felt better when she saw the floor getting clean. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry I dropped the bottle. I wanted to pour some milk for baby Sam." + +Mom smiled and said, "That was very nice of you, Anna. But next time, ask me for help, okay? The bottle is too big for you to carry by yourself. And baby Sam doesn't need milk right now. He just had his lunch. He's sleeping in his crib." + +Anna looked at mom and said, "Okay, mom. I'll ask you next time. Can I go and see baby Sam?" + +Mom said, "Sure, you can. But be quiet, don't wake him up. He needs his nap." + +Anna said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Anna. You're a good helper and a good sister." +Lila was a wild daughter. She liked to run and jump and play all day. She did not like to sit still or be quiet or do what her mom said. She made a lot of mess and noise. + +One day, her mom said, "Lila, I need to cook dinner. Can you help me in the kitchen?" Lila did not want to help. She wanted to play with her toys and watch TV. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to cook. Cooking is boring." + +Her mom said, "Lila, cooking can be fun. You can learn new things and make yummy food. Please come and help me. I will show you how to cook." Lila still did not want to help. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to learn. I know everything. I want to play." + +Her mom said, "Lila, you don't know everything. You are still a little girl. You need to listen to me and be a good daughter. If you help me cook, I will let you choose the dessert. How about that?" Lila liked dessert. She liked cake and ice cream and cookies. She thought for a moment. She said, "OK, mom, I will help you cook. But only if I can choose the dessert." + +Her mom said, "Deal. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. I will teach you how to cook." Lila followed her mom to the kitchen. She put on an apron and a hat. She washed her hands and looked at the food. She saw carrots and potatoes and chicken and cheese. She said, "Mom, what are we cooking?" + +Her mom said, "We are cooking a chicken pie. It is easy and tasty. You can help me chop the carrots and potatoes and grate the cheese. Then we will put them in a dish with the chicken and some sauce. Then we will cover it with some dough and bake it in the oven. Do you want to try?" Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to try. It sounds good. Can I use the knife?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, but be careful. The knife is sharp. I will help you hold it. Don't cut yourself." Lila took the knife and started to chop the carrots and potatoes. She liked to see them become smaller and smaller. She said, "Mom, this is fun. I like to cook." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "I'm glad you like it, Lila. You are a good helper. Maybe you will grow up to be a great cook. And don't forget, you can choose the dessert. What do you want?" Lila thought for a while. She said, "Mom, I want cake. And ice cream. And cookies. Can we have all of them?" + +Her mom laughed. She said, "Lila, you are a wild daughter. You can't have all of them. That is too much. You have to choose one. Which one do you want the most?" Lila thought some more. She said, "Mom, I want cake. Chocolate cake. With sprinkles. And candles. Can we have that?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, Lila, we can have that. But only if you finish your chicken pie first. And only if you share it with me. Deal?" Lila nodded. She said, "Deal, mom. I love you. And I love cake. And I love to cook." Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lila. You are my wild and wonderful daughter." They finished cooking and ate their dinner and dessert. They had a happy and yummy time. +Tom and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the plane. The plane is big and red and can fly in the air. Tom and Mia pretend they are pilots and go on adventures with the plane. + +One day, they are playing with the plane in the living room. They make the plane fly over the sofa, the table, and the lamp. They make noises like the plane is zooming and roaring. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom gets too excited. He throws the plane very hard and it hits the wall. The plane breaks into pieces. The wing falls off, the propeller snaps, and the tail cracks. Tom and Mia are shocked. They look at the broken plane and feel sad. + +"Tom, why did you do that?" Mia asks. "You destroyed our plane! Now we can't play with it anymore!" + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Tom says. "I didn't mean to. I just wanted to make the plane fly faster. I was not careful." + +Mia is angry at Tom, but she also loves him. She knows he is sorry. She hugs him and says, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But next time, be more careful with our toys. They are not strong like us. They can break easily." + +Tom hugs Mia back and says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister. I will be more careful next time. Maybe we can fix the plane together. Or we can play with something else. We have many toys, but you are my favorite." +Anna loved her kitten, Spot. Spot was black and white and very soft. Anna liked to play with Spot and hug him. But one day, Spot ran away from Anna. He saw a bird and wanted to catch it. He ran out of the door and into the street. + +Anna was sad and scared. She ran after Spot and called his name. "Spot, Spot, come back!" she shouted. But Spot did not listen. He chased the bird across the street and into the park. He did not see the cars and the people and the dogs. He was foolish and did not think of danger. + +Anna searched for Spot in the park. She looked behind the trees and under the benches and in the bushes. She asked the people and the dogs if they saw Spot. But no one saw him. Anna felt very lonely and cried. + +Then she heard a meow. She followed the sound and saw Spot. He was on a branch of a big tree. He was stuck and scared. He meowed again and again. Anna was happy and ran to the tree. She tried to climb the tree, but it was too high. She needed help. + +She saw a man with a ladder. He was fixing a light. She ran to him and said, "Please, please, help me. My kitten is in the tree. He is foolish and ran away. I love him and want him back. Please, please, help me." + +The man was kind and smiled. He said, "Don't worry, little girl. I will help you. I have a ladder and I can get your kitten. He is not foolish, he is just curious. He will learn to be careful. Come with me and we will get him." + +He took his ladder and put it against the tree. He climbed the ladder and reached for Spot. Spot was happy to see him and let him take him. He carried Spot down the ladder and gave him to Anna. Anna hugged Spot and thanked the man. She said, "You are very nice and brave. Thank you for saving my kitten. I will not let him run away again. I will keep him safe and warm." + +The man said, "You are very welcome and sweet. I am glad you found your kitten. He is very cute and lucky to have you. Take good care of him and yourself. Goodbye." + +Anna and Spot waved goodbye to the man and went back home. They were both happy and tired. They snuggled on the couch and fell asleep. They dreamed of birds and ladders and kindness. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a man with a whistle. He was blowing it and making music. Ben and Lily thought he was charming. They wanted to hear more. + +They ran to the man and said, "Hello, mister. We like your whistle. Can you play more for us?" + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, kids. I can play more for you. But you have to be quiet and listen. Do you know what a whistle is?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They knew what a whistle was. It was a thing you put in your mouth and blow. It made a sound. + +The man said, "That's right. A whistle is a thing you blow and make a sound. But you have to be careful. If you blow too hard, it can hurt your ears. And if you pinch it, it can break. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded again. They understood. They did not want to hurt their ears or break the whistle. They wanted to hear the music. + +The man played his whistle for them. He played happy songs and sad songs. He played fast songs and slow songs. He played loud songs and soft songs. Ben and Lily listened and clapped. They liked the music. They thought the man was charming. They thanked him and gave him a hug. Then they went back to play. They did not pinch the whistle. They were good kids. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. But they do not like to share. They always want the same toy. + +One day, they find a big round ball in the park. It is red and shiny. They both want to play with it. + +"Give me the ball!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine!" Sam says. + +They pull and push the ball. They are angry and loud. + +A girl comes to them. She is Lily. She is nice and kind. She sees the ball. + +"Can I play with you?" she asks. + +Tom and Sam stop fighting. They look at Lily. + +"No, you can't!" they say together. + +"Why not?" Lily asks. + +"Because you are a girl!" Tom says. + +"And you are small!" Sam says. + +They laugh at Lily. They are mean and rude. + +Lily feels sad and hurt. She does not like Tom and Sam. She hates them. + +She walks away from them. She finds another ball. It is blue and soft. It is easy to throw and catch. + +She plays with the ball by herself. She is happy and calm. + +She sees another girl. She is Anna. She is friendly and sweet. She likes balls too. + +"Can I play with you?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, you can!" Lily says. + +They share the ball. They play together. They are nice and polite. + +They have fun. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and building things. They do not hear their mom calling them for dinner. + +Mom comes to the living room and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Anna and Ben, you did not listen to me. It is time for dinner. You have to stop playing and come to the table. You have to clean up your toys later. You disturb me when you make so much noise." + +Anna and Ben look at their mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not hear you. We were having fun. We will come to dinner. We will clean up later. We do not want to disturb you." + +Mom smiles and says, "It is okay. I know you were having fun. But you have to listen to me when I call you. Dinner is ready and it is fine. Come on, let's go to the table. You can play again after dinner." + +Anna and Ben nod and follow their mom to the kitchen. They wash their hands and sit down. They see the food on the table. It looks good. They say, "Thank you, mom, for the fine dinner. We are hungry. We will eat well. We love you, mom." + +Mom says, "You are welcome, Anna and Ben. I love you too. Enjoy your dinner. And remember, no more noise after dinner. You have to be quiet and go to bed soon." +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They like to slide, run, and swing. They swing high and low, and laugh and sing. + +One day, they see something new on the ground. It is long and thin and brown. It moves and wiggles. Ben says, "What is that?" + +Mia says, "It is a worm. It lives in the dirt. It is not a toy. We should not touch it." + +Ben says, "Why not? It looks funny. Maybe it wants to play with us." + +Mia says, "No, Ben. It does not want to play. It wants to be in the dirt. If we touch it, we might hurt it. Or it might bite us." + +Ben says, "Oh. OK. I do not want to hurt it. Or get bitten. Let's leave it alone. Come on, let's swing some more." + +They run back to the swing. They swing high and low, and laugh and sing. They forget about the worm. The worm crawls back to the dirt. It is happy and safe. It makes a hole and goes inside. It closes the hole with some dirt. It is dark and cozy. It takes a nap. +Tom and Lily like to play in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some toys. They splash and soak each other with the water.

It likes Tom. + +Tom is happy. He picks up the snake and puts it around his neck. The snake wraps itself around Tom and tickles him. + +"Look, Lily, the snake likes me!" Tom says. He shows Lily the snake. + +Lily is surprised. She sees that the snake is not mean. She sees that Tom is happy. She wants to be happy too. + +She comes closer to Tom and the snake. She touches the snake gently. The snake licks her hand too. It is a nice snake. It likes Lily. + +Lily is happy. She hugs Tom and the snake. They are friends. + +They play with the snake in the garden. They splash and soak it with the water. The snake splashes and soaks them back. They laugh and have fun. + +The end. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress.

He was very kind and said they could have some blueberries, but only from one side of the bush. The other side was for the birds and the bees. + +"Thank you, gardener," Lily and Max said. They went to the side of the bush he showed them and started to pick some blueberries. They were very sweet and juicy. + +"Look, Max, this one is very big and round," Lily said, holding a blueberry in her hand. + +"Wow, that's a nice one. Can I have it?" Max asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to keep the blueberry for herself, but she also wanted to be honest and share with her friend. She remembered what her mom always told her: honesty is the best policy. + +"Okay, Max, you can have it. But you have to give me half of yours," she said. + +"Deal," Max said. He took the big blueberry and broke it in half. He gave one half to Lily and ate the other half. They both smiled and said, "Yum!" + +Lily and Max were happy. They observed the blueberries, they were honest with each other, and they enjoyed their snack. They decided to pick some more blueberries for their moms and the gardener, to say thank you. They were good friends. +Sara and her mom had to go to the airport. They had a big bag with clothes and toys. Sara was happy because they were going to see grandma and grandpa. Mom said it was important to be on time. + +They went outside and looked for a taxi. There were many cars on the street, but no taxis. Sara saw a yellow car with a sign on top. She pointed and said, "Look, mom, a taxi!" + +Mom nodded and waved her hand. The taxi stopped and the driver opened the door. He helped mom put the big bag in the trunk. Sara climbed in the back seat and buckled her seat belt. + +The taxi drove fast and honked at other cars. Sara looked out the window and saw many buildings and people. She felt a little scared. She rubbed her eyes and hugged her teddy bear. + +Mom saw Sara and smiled. She leaned over and kissed her cheek. She said, "Don't worry, sweetie, we'll be there soon. Grandma and grandpa are waiting for us. They love you very much." + +Sara smiled back and said, "I love them too, mom. And I love you." + +Mom hugged Sara and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are my important girl." +Sara and Ben were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made snowballs and threw them at each other. They had a lot of fun, but they were also very cold. + +"Let's go inside and get warm," Sara said. "Mommy made hot cocoa for us." + +"OK," Ben said. "But first, let's store our snowballs in the shelter. Maybe we can use them later." + +They ran to the shelter, which was a small wooden house that their daddy had built for them. It had a door and a window and a roof. They put their snowballs in a pile inside the shelter. They hoped they would not melt. + +They closed the door and ran back to their house. They took off their boots and coats and gloves. They went to the kitchen, where mommy was waiting for them with two mugs of hot cocoa. + +"Here you go, my sweeties," mommy said. "You must be very cold after playing in the icy snow." + +"Thank you, mommy," Sara and Ben said. They drank their hot cocoa and felt warm and cozy. They told mommy about their snowman and their snowballs and their shelter. + +"That sounds like a lot of fun," mommy said. "But now it's time for a nap. You can play outside again later, if you want." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They were tired after playing so much. They hugged mommy and went to their room. They snuggled in their beds and fell asleep. They dreamed of snow and ice and fun. +Tom was a big boy who liked to shave like his dad. He had a toy razor that he used to pretend to shave his face. One day, he saw his dad's real razor on the sink. It looked shiny and impressive. He wanted to try it. + +He climbed on a stool and reached for the razor. He turned on the water and filled his hands with soap. He rubbed the soap on his face and picked up the razor. He tried to shave like his dad, but he felt a sharp pain. He had cut his cheek. He dropped the razor and started to cry. + +His dad heard him and ran to the bathroom. He saw Tom's face bleeding and the razor on the floor. He was angry and scared. He grabbed a towel and pressed it on Tom's cheek. He said, "Tom, what did you do? You should never touch my razor. It is very dangerous. It can hurt you. You are not a big boy yet. You are a little boy who needs to be careful." + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to be like you. I wanted to shave like you. Your razor looked impressive. I didn't know it would hurt me." + +His dad hugged him and said, "I know, son. I know you want to be like me. But you have to wait until you grow up. Then you can shave like me. For now, you can use your toy razor. It is safe and fun. And you are impressive to me, no matter what." +Anna liked to write in her journal every day. She wrote about what she did, what she saw, and what she felt. She had a pink journal with a lock and a key. She kept it in her drawer under her bed. + +One day, she came home from school and wanted to write in her journal. She went to her room and opened her drawer. But her journal was not there. She looked around and saw a huge mess. Her books, toys, and clothes were everywhere. Someone had been in her room. + +She heard a giggle from behind the door. She opened it and saw her little brother Tommy. He had her journal in his hands. He was trying to open the lock with a paper clip. + +"Tommy, give me back my journal!" Anna shouted. "That is mine, not yours!" + +Tommy stuck out his tongue and ran away. Anna chased him down the hall. She was very angry. She wanted her journal back. + +They ran into the living room, where Mom was watching TV. She saw them running and yelling. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom said. "What is going on here?" + +"Tommy took my journal and made a mess in my room!" Anna said. + +"Tommy, is that true?" Mom asked. + +Tommy nodded. He looked scared. He knew he had done something bad. + +"Tommy, that is not nice. You have to give Anna back her journal and say sorry. And you have to help her clean up her room. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Tommy nodded again. He gave Anna back her journal and said sorry. He followed her to her room. + +Anna was still angry, but she was also happy to have her journal back. She locked it and put it in her drawer. She decided to forgive Tommy, but only if he helped her clean up. + +They worked together to put everything back in its place. Mom came to check on them and smiled. + +"Good job, you two. I'm proud of you for making up and helping each other. Now, how about some cookies and milk?" Mom said. + +Anna and Tommy smiled. They liked cookies and milk. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They forgot about the journal and the mess. They were happy to be friends again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. Lily has a big red truck. Tom has a small blue car. They drive them on the floor and make noises. + +One day, Lily and Tom find a file on the table. It is a file with many papers inside. They do not know what it is. They think it is a toy. They open the file and take out the papers. They tear them and throw them in the air. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Lily and Tom, what did you do? This is not a toy. This is a file with important papers. You should not touch it. You should ask before you play with something that is not yours." + +Lily and Tom are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We thought it was a toy. We wanted to play with it." + +Mom says, "I understand. But you have to be careful. Some things are not for playing. They are for working. You have to be wise and learn the difference. Now, help me pick up the papers and put them back in the file." + +Lily and Tom help Mom. They say, "We will be wise, Mom. We will ask before we play with something that is not ours. We will not touch the file again." + +Mom says, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. I love you. Now, you can play with your cars and trucks. But please, do not drive them on the table." +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were wild animals. Tom was a lion and Lily was a tiger. They roared and jumped on the bed. + +"Roar! I am the king of the jungle!" Tom said. + +"Roar! I am the queen of the jungle!" Lily said. + +They had fun making noise and chasing each other. + +But then they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing? You are making too much noise!" Mom said. + +"Sorry, Mom. We are playing wild animals," Tom said. + +Mom smiled and opened the window. She pointed outside. + +"Look, there are some real wild animals in the park. Do you want to go and see them?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the window. They saw some ducks, squirrels, and birds. They were excited. + +"Yes, Mom, we want to go and see them!" Tom and Lily said. + +Mom took their hands and led them downstairs. They put on their coats and shoes and went to the park. They saw the wild animals up close. They were happy. + +They still roared and jumped, but not too loud. They learned to be quiet and respectful of the wild animals. They had a great day. +Lily was very tired after playing all day. She wanted to relax on the sofa and watch her favorite show. But her mom said she had to eat her dinner first. + +"Please, mom, can I eat later?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, you need to eat now. It's good for you. Look, I made you a tray with your favorite things. Chicken, rice, carrots, and a cookie for dessert. And I have a surprise for you too." Mom said. + +Lily followed her mom to the table and saw the tray. She smiled when she saw the cookie, but she frowned when she saw the surprise. It was a green drink in a glass. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"It's a smoothie. It has spinach, banana, and milk. It's very healthy and tasty. I made it for you because you like green. It's unusual, but you can try it." Mom said. + +Lily was not sure. She liked green, but she did not like spinach. She liked banana, but she did not like milk. She liked smooth, but she did not like drink. + +She picked up the glass and smelled it. It smelled weird. She took a sip and made a face. It tasted worse. + +"Yuck! I don't like it! It's gross!" Lily said. + +Mom laughed and hugged her. + +"It's okay, Lily. You don't have to drink it. I just wanted you to try something new. You can have some water instead. And you can still have your cookie. Now, eat your dinner and then you can relax on the sofa." Mom said. + +Lily nodded and ate her dinner. She liked the chicken, the rice, and the carrots. She loved the cookie. She drank some water and felt better. + +She thanked her mom and went to the sofa. She turned on her favorite show and snuggled with her teddy bear. She felt happy and relaxed. She forgot about the green drink. She decided she would not try it again. +Lily loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a princess doll. The princess doll had a long pink dress, a shiny crown, and a big smile. Lily liked to pretend that she was the princess and that her dolls were her friends. + +One day, Lily decided to display her dolls on her bed. She wanted to show them to her mom and dad. She arranged them neatly, with the princess doll in the middle. She was very proud of her dolls and how they looked. + +"Mom, dad, come see my dolls!" she called. + +Her mom and dad came to her room and smiled. They saw the dolls on the bed and the princess doll in the center. + +"Wow, Lily, your dolls are very pretty!" her mom said. + +"Yes, they are, and you are very creative!" her dad said. + +"Thank you, mom and dad!" Lily said. "Do you like my princess doll? She is the best!" + +Her mom and dad nodded. They noticed that the princess doll had a modest expression. She did not look proud or boastful, even though she was the most beautiful doll. + +"Yes, we like your princess doll very much," her mom said. "She is not only pretty, but also modest. That is a good quality for a princess." + +"What does modest mean?" Lily asked. + +"It means that you are not too proud of yourself or your things, and that you are kind and respectful to others," her dad explained. + +"Oh, I see," Lily said. "I want to be like my princess doll. I want to be modest too." + +Her mom and dad hugged her and kissed her. They were very happy with their daughter. + +"You are already modest, Lily, and we love you very much," they said. "You are our little princess." +Lily loved to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw amazing things. She dreamed of flying in the sky, swimming with fish, and playing with animals. Sometimes, she dreamed of going to a festival with her family. + +A festival was a big and fun place, where people wore colorful clothes, danced to music, and ate yummy food. Lily had never been to a festival, but she wanted to go very much. She asked her mom and dad if they could take her to a festival someday. + +"Maybe, Lily, maybe," they said. "But festivals are not always safe. There are many people, and some of them are fierce. They might hurt you or take your things. You have to be careful and stay with us." + +Lily was not afraid of fierce people. She was brave and strong. She thought she could fight them if they tried to hurt her or take her things. She said, "I don't care, mom and dad. I want to go to a festival and have fun. Please, please, please!" + +One night, Lily had a special dream. She dreamed that she went to a festival with her mom and dad. They wore colorful clothes, danced to music, and ate yummy food. Lily was very happy. She saw many people, but they were not fierce. They were friendly and kind. They smiled at her and gave her gifts. Lily felt like a princess. + +She woke up and told her mom and dad about her dream. They listened and smiled. They said, "That sounds like a wonderful dream, Lily. Maybe, someday, we can make it come true. But for now, we are glad that you are happy and safe with us. We love you, Lily." + +Lily hugged them and said, "I love you too, mom and dad. And I love to dream." +Lily and Max were playing with their toys. They liked to match things that were the same. They matched cars, balls, and books. They had fun. + +Then they saw a picture of their dad. He had a mustache on his face. It was black and curly. Lily and Max thought it was funny. + +"Let's match dad's mustache!" Lily said. She ran to the closet and found some colorful scarves. She wrapped one around her face and made a mustache. It was red and long. + +"Look at me!" she said. "I have a mustache like dad!" + +Max laughed. He wanted to try too. He took another scarf and made a mustache. It was blue and short. + +"Me too!" he said. "I have a mustache like dad!" + +They looked at each other and giggled. They looked very silly. They ran to the mirror and made faces. They pretended to talk like dad. + +"Hello, I am dad," Lily said in a deep voice. "I have a big mustache." + +"Hello, I am dad too," Max said in a deep voice. "I have a colorful mustache." + +They heard a knock on the door. It was their dad. He came home from work. He saw Lily and Max with their scarves. + +"What are you doing?" he asked. He smiled. + +"We are matching your mustache!" Lily and Max said. They showed him their scarves. + +Dad laughed. He hugged them. He was happy. + +"That's very creative," he said. "But you know what? I like your faces better without the scarves. You are beautiful just the way you are." + +He kissed them and took off their scarves. He tickled them with his mustache. They squealed. + +They loved their dad and his mustache. They had fun. +Tom was very happy today. It was his birthday and he had a big cake and many balloons. He also had some friends over to play and sing with him. But the best thing was that he had a big package waiting for him on the table. He wondered what was inside. + +"Can I open it now, Mom?" he asked. + +"Not yet, Tom. You have to guess what it is first," Mom said. "It is something very unusual and fun. You will love it." + +Tom thought hard. He liked many things. He liked cars and trains and balls and books and animals. What could be in the package? He looked at the shape and the size and the color. He tried to shake it gently, but it did not make any sound. + +"Is it a car?" he guessed. + +"No, it is not a car," Mom said. + +"Is it a train?" he guessed. + +"No, it is not a train," Mom said. + +"Is it a ball?" he guessed. + +"No, it is not a ball," Mom said. + +Tom was getting frustrated. He could not guess what it was. He wanted to open it and see. He looked at Mom with a sad face. + +"Please, Mom, can I open it now?" he begged. + +"Okay, Tom, you can open it now. But be careful, it is very unusual," Mom said. + +Tom tore the paper and opened the box. He gasped. Inside was a big, fluffy, colorful unicorn. It had a shiny horn and a long mane and a soft tail. It was the most beautiful thing Tom had ever seen. + +"Wow! A unicorn! Thank you, Mom! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" he exclaimed. He hugged the unicorn and kissed it. He felt very happy and special. + +"You're welcome, Tom. Happy birthday, my sweet boy. I love you," Mom said. She smiled and hugged him too. She was glad he liked his unusual gift. She knew he had a big imagination and a big heart. She was proud of him. +Sara and Ben like to play with the fan in their room. They turn it on and off and watch the air move the curtains. Sometimes they pretend they are flying or singing in the wind. + +One day, Sara has a new idea. She takes a scarf from her drawer and ties it around her neck. She says to Ben, "Look, I am a superhero! I can fly with my cape!" She runs to the fan and holds the scarf behind her. + +But the scarf is too long and too loose. It gets caught in the fan and pulls Sara closer. Sara feels the scarf get tight around her neck. She can't breathe. She tries to scream, but no sound comes out. + +Ben sees Sara in trouble. He runs to the fan and turns it off. He unties the scarf from Sara's neck and hugs her. He says, "Sara, are you okay? That was scary. You should not play with the fan like that. It is dangerous." + +Sara coughs and cries. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I wanted to be a superhero, but it was a bad idea. The fan seemed fun, but it was not. It hurt me. Thank you for saving me. You are a real superhero." + +Ben smiles and says, "You're welcome, Sara. I love you. You are my sister. But next time, let's play something else. Maybe we can draw or read or sing. Anything but the fan." +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and run and hide. Lily saw a big red ball on the other side of the fence. She wanted to play with it. + +"Max, look! A ball!" she said. + +Max looked and nodded. He liked balls too. He had a plan. + +"Let's escape and get the ball," he said. + +"How?" Lily asked. + +Max pointed to a hole under the fence. It was small, but they were small too. + +"Come on, follow me," he said. + +They crawled through the hole and ran to the ball. It was high and round and shiny. They kicked it and threw it and laughed. + +But then they heard a loud voice. + +"Lily! Max! Where are you?" It was Daddy. He was looking for them. + +They stopped playing and looked at each other. They were scared. They had escaped without telling Daddy. That was bad. + +"Sorry, Daddy!" they shouted. + +They ran back to the hole and crawled through. Daddy was waiting for them. He was angry and worried. + +"Why did you escape?" he asked. + +"We wanted the ball," they said. + +Daddy sighed. He hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're safe, but you can't escape like that. It's dangerous. You have to ask me first." + +They nodded and said, "Sorry, Daddy." + +Daddy smiled and said, "It's okay. I love you. But next time, no escaping, okay?" + +They said, "Okay, Daddy." + +They went back to the garden and played with their own toys. They did not escape again. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. Lila had a wooden sword and Ben had a paper crown. + +"Look, a dragon!" Ben said, pointing to a big tree. "We have to save the castle!" + +Lila nodded and ran towards the tree. She waved her sword and shouted, "Go away, dragon! You are not friendly!" + +The tree did not move. It was not a real dragon. But Lila and Ben liked to imagine. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. It was Max, their dog. He had seen them playing and wanted to join. He ran after Lila and jumped on her. Lila fell down and dropped her sword. + +"Ow, Max! You are too big!" Lila said. She was not hurt, but she was surprised. + +Ben ran to help her. He picked up her sword and gave it back to her. He also hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lila. I will support you. We are a team." + +Lila smiled and hugged him back. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. And so is Max. He just wanted to play, too." + +They petted Max and made him calm down. Then they continued their game. They had fun in the garden. They were happy. +One day, a little girl named Lily was playing in the park with her mom. She saw a lady with a big hat and a long coat. The lady looked mysterious. She had a bag that made a funny noise. + +"Who is that lady, mom?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, sweetie. Maybe she is a friend of someone here," mom said. + +Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was in the bag. She ran after the lady. The lady did not see her. She went to a bench and opened the bag. Lily peeked from behind a tree. + +"Wow!" Lily said. She saw a lot of colorful birds in the bag. They were singing and flapping their wings. The lady smiled and gave them some seeds. + +"Hello, little girl. Do you like my birds?" the lady asked. + +"Yes, they are very pretty. What are their names?" Lily asked. + +The lady told her the names of the birds. She said they were her friends. She said she went to different places to show them to people. She said they made her happy. + +Lily liked the lady. She thought she was nice and kind. She asked if she could touch the birds. The lady said yes. Lily gently stroked the feathers of a blue bird. It chirped and nuzzled her hand. + +"Thank you, lady. You have very nice birds. Can I see you again?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe, if you are lucky. I go to different parks every day. But you can always remember me and my birds in your heart," the lady said. + +She closed the bag and got up. She waved to Lily and walked away. Lily waved back. She ran to her mom and told her what she saw. Mom hugged her and said she was glad she met a new friend. Lily smiled and said she was too. She hoped to see the lady and her birds again. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. Sara wanted to climb the tree, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Sara said. "We can see the birds and the sky." + +"No, thank you, Sara. The tree is too high. I might fall and hurt myself." Ben said. He stayed on the ground and watched Sara. + +Sara climbed the tree carefully. She held on to the branches and moved up. She reached a spot where she could sit and look around. She saw the park, the road, the houses and the cars. She felt happy and proud. + +She wanted to share her happiness with Ben. She looked down and called his name. But Ben was not there. She saw a big dog running towards the tree. The dog was barking loudly. Sara was scared. She did not like dogs. She wished Ben was with her. + +"Ben, where are you? Help me!" Sara shouted. "There is a dog. It is scary. I want to come down." + +Ben heard Sara's voice. He had gone to get some water from the fountain. He saw the dog and ran back to the tree. He picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. He shouted at the dog to go away. + +The dog stopped barking and ran away. Ben threw the stick and looked up at Sara. He saw that she was crying. He felt sorry for her. + +"Sara, are you okay? Don't cry. The dog is gone. You can come down now." Ben said. + +Sara wiped her tears and nodded. She climbed down the tree slowly. Ben helped her when she reached the ground. He gave her a hug and said he was sorry he left her alone. + +"It's okay, Ben. Thank you for saving me. You are brave." Sara said. + +They smiled at each other and walked back to the slide. They played some more and had fun. They did not mention the dog or the tree again. +Lily and Ben are going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They have their own luggage. Lily has a pink luggage with a flower. Ben has a blue luggage with a car. + +They go to the airport. They see many people and planes. They see a big sign that says "Check-in". Mom and Dad give their luggage to a lady. The lady puts the luggage on a belt. The luggage goes away. + +"Where is our luggage going?" Lily asks. + +"It is going to the plane. We will see it again when we get there," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see the plane. They follow Mom and Dad to a gate. They see a man with a badge. He checks their tickets. He says they can go to the plane. + +They walk on a bridge. They see the plane. It is very big and shiny. They see a door. They go inside. They see a lady with a hat. She smiles and says hello. She shows them their seats. + +Lily and Ben sit next to the window. They see the wing and the engine. They see other planes and trucks. They see the luggage. They see their luggage. They see the flower and the car. + +"Look, there is our luggage!" Lily says. + +"They are clever. They know how to find the plane," Ben says. + +They are proud of their luggage. They are excited to fly. They buckle their seat belts. They listen to the lady with the hat. She tells them what to do. They are ready to go. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going to see the parade with their mom and dad. They put on their hats and coats and walked to the big street. There were many people and cars and noises. Lily and Ben held their mom and dad's hands. + +"Look, Lily, there are the clowns!" Ben said. He pointed to the funny men and women with big shoes and noses and colorful clothes. They made silly faces and threw candy to the kids. Lily and Ben laughed and caught some candy. + +"Look, Ben, there are the horses!" Lily said. She pointed to the big animals with long hair and tails. They wore shiny things and walked with the music. Some people rode on them and waved to the crowd. Lily and Ben clapped and waved back. + +But then, something bad happened. A loud noise scared one of the horses. It ran away from the parade and towards Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben were scared too. They let go of their mom and dad's hands and ran away from the horse. + +"Stop, Lily, Ben, stay!" their mom and dad shouted. They tried to catch them, but there were too many people and cars and noises. They lost sight of them. + +Lily and Ben ran and ran until they found a small park. They hid behind a bench and hugged each other. They were very sad and scared. They did not know where their mom and dad were. They did not like the parade anymore. They thought it was stupid. + +"Where are mom and dad?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "I wish they were here." + +They cried and cried until they heard a familiar voice. + +"Lily, Ben, where are you?" It was their mom. She had followed them to the park. She saw them behind the bench and ran to them. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"Oh, thank God, you're safe!" she said. "I was so worried about you. Why did you run away?" + +"The horse was scary," Lily said. + +"It was stupid," Ben said. + +Their mom smiled and wiped their tears. + +"I know, honey, but it was an accident. The horse didn't mean to scare you. It was just as scared as you. But you should never run away from me and dad. You should always stay with us. We love you and we want to protect you. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. + +"Yes, mom, we're sorry," they said. + +Their mom hugged them again. + +"It's okay, sweeties, I'm not mad. I'm just glad you're okay. Come on, let's go find dad. He's waiting for us. Maybe we can still see some of the parade. Do you want to?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They smiled. + +"Okay, mom, let's go," they said. + +They held their mom's hand and walked back to the big street. They saw their dad waving to them. He hugged them and kissed them too. + +"I'm so happy to see you," he said. "Are you okay?" + +"Yes, dad, we're okay," they said. + +They joined the crowd and watched the parade. They saw the balloons and the floats and the bands and the dancers. They forgot about the scary horse and the stupid noise. They enjoyed the parade and had fun. They were very happy. +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play together in the park. Sometimes they pretend to be different things. Today they pretend to be chefs and customers. + +Anna puts on a big hat and a apron. She says, "Welcome to my restaurant! What do you want to eat?" Ben looks at the menu. It is a piece of paper with drawings of food. + +He says, "I want a pizza with cheese and tomatoes. And a juice, please." Anna nods and says, "Okay, one pizza and one juice. Coming right up!" She goes to the kitchen. The kitchen is a bench with some pots and pans and toys. + +She makes the pizza with a plate and some play-doh. She puts it in the oven. The oven is a box with a door. She waits for a few seconds and then takes it out. She says, "Your pizza is ready! Here you go!" She gives it to Ben. + +Ben says, "Thank you! It looks yummy!" He pretends to eat the pizza. He makes a sound like "mmmm". He says, "This is the best pizza ever! You are a great chef, Anna!" Anna smiles and says, "Thank you! You are a nice customer, Ben!" + +They finish their food and drink. They are happy and playful. They decide to switch roles. Now Ben is the chef and Anna is the customer. They pretend to order and make different foods. They have a lot of fun. They love to play pretend. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks on the floor. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +But then, Ben had an idea. He wanted to see what would happen if he destroyed the blocks.

I left it on the bench. Is that my phone you have?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I think so. It's a big black phone. It's very mysterious. How did you talk to me?" + +Sam said, "It's a smart phone. It can do many things. It can call people, take pictures, play games, and more. But I need it back. Can you please give it to someone who can help me find it?" + +Lily said, "OK, I will try. But can I play with it for a little bit? It's very fun." + +Sam said, "No, please, don't play with it. It's very important. It has my information and my contacts. Please, please, give it to someone who can help me." + +Lily felt sorry for Sam. She did not want to make him sad. She looked around and saw a lady in a blue uniform. She had a badge and a walkie-talkie. She looked like she could help. + +Lily ran to the lady and said, "Excuse me, miss, can you help me? I found this phone on the bench. It belongs to Sam.

Sally was smiling and quite pleased with herself; she had done a fine job! +Her mom told her, "Alright, you can keep it on. Just this once and if anyone asks, you have to lie and tell them it's just paint." +Sally agreed, though not understanding why she had to lie. +Later that day, a neighbor stopped by to visit. She asked Sally if the makeup was really paint, as Sally had promised. Sally paused, looking at her mom uncertainly. +Her mom just shook her head 'no'.

From the top of the hill, he could see all around him. He barked with joy. + +Suddenly he realized that he had left his best friend, Woofy, behind. Spot felt so sorry! He skipped back down the hill, in a big zigzag, to get to Woofy. + +When Spot got to Woofy, he barked and said, "I'm sorry I left you behind!" Woofy smiled and said, "That's okay, Spot.
